REMEMBERING REMEM BERING

9/11

Though nearly 3,000 miles separate the Northwest from New York City; Washington, D.C.; and Shanksville, Pa., the 9/11 terrorist attacks resonated in Issaquah — and continue to reverberate as the 10th anniversary approaches.

Ceremony offers chance to reflect

Issaquah resident fled destruction

“To me, it was one of the worst days in our nation’s history,” Eastside Fire & Rescue Deputy Chief Bud Backer said of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

But the way the country came together in the aftermath of those attacks can be pointed to as a source of pride, Backer added.

To mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the city of Issaquah, EFR, city police and other civic groups are joining in a public ceremony 1 p.m.

Sept. 11 at the Issaquah Community Center.

Other groups joining in the ceremony include VFW Post 3436 and the Issaquah High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.

The ceremony will be one of remembrance, Backer said. The keynote speaker is firefighter Bill Lokey, a member of a special Washington emergency services task force that traveled from the Northwest to New York City in the days after 9/11. The VFW and the NJROTC will provide a color guard and a flag salute, the VFW’s Dave Waggoner said.

The event honors people who died on Sept.

11 or in its aftermath. The remembrance is not just for police officers or firefighters killed in

The unbridgeable gulf separating days before 9/11 from days after runs along a Manhattan street named — as if by chance — Liberty.

The street slices across Lower Manhattan and presses close to the World Trade Center site.

Issaquah resident Dana Macario, 33, endured the initial confused, chaotic moments after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks along Liberty Street.

On a cloudless morning 10 years ago, Macario — then Dana Luthy, a marketing coordinator at a top-flight law firm — boarded a subway train in Brooklyn for a short ride beneath the East River to Lower Manhattan.

The young Western Washington University graduate was headed to a 39th-floor office in 2 World Trade Center.

Macario noticed sheets of paper drifting in the air like unseasonable snowflakes as she emerged from the subway station just before 9 a.m.

Hijackers sent American Airlines Flight 11 hurtling into 1 World Trade Center moments earlier.

Macario, cloistered on the subway in the era before ever-present cellphones and smartphones, did not realize the scraps floating from the sky came from the burning building.

“You first thought — you try to place everything in a familiar context — was, ‘Is there a ticker tape parade going on?’” she said.

Macario joined a crowd along Liberty Street, less than a block south of the World Trade Center.

“We couldn’t tell at all the extent of the devastation. People around me were like, ‘Man, I bet they’re pissed about the sprinklers. They don’t seem to be working that well,’” she said.

“We all assumed that it was probably a small, contained fire. Nobody around me even thought that anybody had been injured.”

Months earlier, as Macario considered attending law school, she landed a job as a paralegal at Thacher Proffitt & Wood, a firm based on floors 38 through 40 in the 110-floor building. But the punishing hours convinced her to consider a career in marketing instead.

Terrorist attacks inspired fallen soldier to enlist

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Staff Sgt. Robert J. Wilson, a daredevil teenager from the Sunshine State, matured into a determined soldier in sun-scorched Iraq.

The boy in Florida sometimes jumped into a swimming pool from perilous heights or needed stitches to repair damage Robert J.Wilson from a mistimed stunt.

The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, led Wilson to abandon a rambunctious youth and focus on a military career.

The infantryman in Iraq often served on point, as the lead soldier in a formation, during foot patrols. Other soldiers in his unit had spouses and children at home. Wilson, unmarried and childless, chose the mostexposed position to shield other soldiers from harm.

‘Take Me America’ tackles tough issue

Jim Sinegal to retire as Costco CEO Issaquah-based warehouse club selects longtime manager as successor

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Costco members, breathe a sigh of relief.

Incoming CEO Craig Jelinek does not intend to change anything about the $1.50 hot-dog-and-soda combo.

“That price will never increase — I can’t say never, because you never know — but I’ve got to tell you, I don’t want to be the one that does it,” Craig Jelinek joked Sept.

1, a day after Costco CEO and cofounder Jim Sinegal announced plans to retire.

Sinegal, a legendary fan of the company’s hot dog deal, plans to step down as CEO on Jan. 1 after transforming Issaquah-based Costco from a lone South

Seattle warehouse almost 30 years ago to 592 outposts around the globe nowadays.

The frugal Sinegal built the empire by offering generous benefits to employees and deep discounts to customers.

King County commits $70,000 to repair city’s retaining wall

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter King County recently agreed to fund repairs to a decade-old retaining wall along Southeast Black Nugget Road as city planners seek to shore up the structure against landslides.

The city closed the sidewalk along the wall in March after soggy conditions caused a small landslide on the slope behind Fred Meyer and The Home Depot.

The shifting earth did not pose a risk to motorists or residences atop the hill, but the incident refocused attention on plans to strengthen the wall.

County officials committed $70,000 for upgrades. The project could cost up to $640,000 for substantial renovations.

The city is setting aside funds to complete the project in the years ahead.

“If we were designing it today, it would probably be better to not build the wall than to have this kind of an interim state and have to go back and do more later,” city Public Works Engineering Director Bob Brock said. “Unfortunately, that’s not the way it ended up.”

Issaquah annexed the slope and the surrounding area in February 2000. The annexation occurred after development already started in the area, so city and county officials agreed to allow the county Department of Development and Environmental Services to continue conduct inspections on projects already under construction.

“The county coming to the plate to provide funding is appropriate, given the fact that the city inherited the structure and it

was built under King County standards,” said Councilman Joshua Schaer, Council Transportation Committee chairman.

“We sort of inherited some of the design flaws or problems with the structure.”

Concerns about safety, complaints about aesthetics The wall — a collection of dislodged and rotting timbers, distorted pilings and a face darkened from seeping moisture — stretches for about 1,000 feet along Southeast Black Nugget Road.

The problems mean the expected lifespan for the structure is decades shorter than a typical retaining wall built to last 50 or 75 years.

The city hired consultants last year to evaluate structural deficiencies. The report, submitted to the city in March 2010, detailed structural shortcomings and listed needed improvements to shore up the wall.

“Repair should be performed as soon as possible to reduce or eliminate the hazards to pedestrians on the sidewalk,” the report states.

Crews added crossbars in recent months to strengthen the structure. Plans call for completing long-term structural improvements and adding a concrete face to the wall.

“There’s probably enough immediate work that’s been done that we’re not in any kind of a dangerous situation,” Brock said. “We certainly don’t want to keep putting off the remedial work for too long.”

Potential $227 million bond issue draws questions from school board

By Tom Corrigan Issaquah Press reporter Equity and getting the best construction return for the district’s dollars seemed to be the underlying issues as the Issaquah School Board continued to debate a potential $227 million capital improvement bond issue voters might decide in February.

The board has a little less than a month to decide on the bond question prior to a Sept. 28 deadline.

Toward the end of the discussion at the board’s Aug. 31 meeting, board President Jan Woldseth Colbrese said officials may schedule some extra talks in addition to those planned for the regularly scheduled September board sessions. One topic might be questions about whether officials have set their improvement sights too high.

During the recent discussion, board member Chad Magendanz said he is greatly impressed by the new performing arts center at Issaquah High School.

a warehouse manager in 1984.

“Costco has a very strong culture and a deep bench of management talent,” Sinegal said in a statement. “I have total confidence in Craig’s ability to handle his new responsibilities and feel we are fortunate as a company to have an executive of his caliber to succeed me as chief executive of Costco.”

Though Sinegal, 75, is stepping down as CEO, he intends to remain at Costco through January 2013 to advise and assist Jelinek, 59, through the transition. The outgoing CEO also plans to remain on the Costco board.

Both executives learned about retail from warehouse club pioneer Sol Price, the late FedMart and Price Club founder. (Price Club and Costco merged in 1993.)

Costco board members selected Jelinek as president and chief

“I worry that it’s too beautiful,” he said, the clear implication being voters might think the district is going overboard in its plans.

But Woldseth Colbrese said those looking at the issue must consider what use students can make of new or improved facilities. Observers might argue that permanent portable classrooms at district facilities are OK, but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily desirable, she added.

Much of the recent discussion revolved around proposed improvements to athletic fields in the district. Among other measures, current plans call for the placement of artificial turf at five schools at a cost of about $1.3 million per school. There are also some major improvements planned for the stadiums at Liberty and Skyline high schools.

“We’re not doing anything outlandish,” insisted Steve Crawford, district director of capital improvements.

“There’s always a way to do something cheaper,” said Jake Kuper, the district’s chief financial officer. “Is it going to last? That’s another question.”

In answering the board members’ questions, Kuper said district officials would collect increased fees from community groups who would be able to make greatly increased use of stadiums and fields outfitted with artificial turf. At the same time, the district would spend far less on maintenance costs at the fields, Kuper added.

In terms of equity, Magendanz said the board could not appear to be playing favorites among district schools if they expect a bond issue to pass. The chief example noted was the planned improvements to the stadium at Skyline. Several officials indicated those improvements would put the Spartans on equal footing with other district high schools.

Under the bond proposal approved by Superintendent Steve Rasmussen, the largest

operating officer in February 2010 — a sign the company intended for the longtime employee to succeed Sinegal.

“We’ll run the business the same,” Jelinek said. “We’ve been very fortunate with the way our business has grown over the last 25-plus years. We won’t change a lot of things. You’ll have to adjust to the marketplace, but we’ll take care of our customers, take care of our employees, and take care of our supplies and our shareholders. If we continue to do that, good things will continue to happen.”

Jelinek served in numerous roles in the company since signing on as a warehouse manager.

“I’ve also, in growing up through the retail, I’ve done all of the jobs,” he said. “I have an understanding of the business because I’ve been there. I think it helps a lot to be able to manage based on what you’ve done.”

Sinegal and company Chairman Jeffrey Brotman, a Costco cofounder, advised Jelinek in the months since he started as president.

“Jim has great vision, and one thing that he continues to stress is just stay focused on your plan,” Jelinek said.

Sinegal also advised Jelinek to prepare for changes in the marketplace — but not to change longterm strategy based on short-term problems.

“You have to adjust to them, but don’t start changing your overall business for a bump in the road,” he said.

Costco employs about 2,700 people in corporate offices and at the flagship warehouse in Pickering Place. The company headquarters relocated from Kirkland to Issaquah in 1996.

“Most good CEOs serve their people; their people don’t serve them,” Jelinek said. “That’s what it’s all about. If you work with your people and give opportunities for your people to grow and help them succeed in what they want to accomplish, only good things happen for you.”

Jeff Elliott, Costco assistant vice president of financial planning and investor relations, said Wall

“There’s always a way to do something cheaper. Is it going to last? That’s another question.”

projects under consideration are rebuilding or replacing what the administration feels are aging facilities, namely Issaquah Middle School and Sunny Hills and Clark elementary schools.

Those three projects make up $109 million, or 47.9 percent, of the total capital improvement plan. The other single largest component is renovation of Liberty, priced at $39.7 million not including $4.8 million for stadium renovations.

Street analysts and investors expected the transition from Sinegal to Jelinek. The company sometimes received criticism from investors for failing to define a succession plan.

“When it comes to the business model and driving down pricing and offering the very best value on goods, and services to our members day in and day out, having a true love of the employee base — every employee counts, every employee makes a difference — and being willing to pay a livable wage with benefits, they’re very similar in all of those things,” Elliott said.

Sinegal earned a reputation among employees for popping into warehouses around the globe.

Jelinek intends to continue the practice.

“They speak the same. They have the same talk. They have the same rapport with employees,” Elliott said. “They’re very much alike in that way.”

King County certifies August primary election results

Eastside Baby Corner hosts pants collection party

Turnout in the Aug. 16 primary election reached 32 percent, less than officials estimated in the days before the ballot deadline.

King County Elections released the information after officials certified the results Aug. 31.

Overall, voters returned 349,566 ballots of the 1,103,522 packets the elections office mailed in late July.

The electorate resoundingly approved a measure to renew the Veterans and Human Services Levy until 2017 — 69 percent to 31 percent. Organizations operating in Issaquah and the surrounding area, such as Friends of Youth and YWCA of Seattle-King-Snohomish, receive support from the levy.

The elections office tabulated 338,255 ballots and did not record any discrepancies.

Voters cast 192 ballots on Accessible Voting Units and returned 32,146 ballots to drop boxes stationed throughout the county, including at Issaquah City Hall.

Officials challenged signatures on 11,285 ballots and resolved challenges on 5,457 ballots.

No Issaquah City Council or school board races appeared on the August ballot.

The general election is Nov. 8, and the elections office plans to mail ballots to voters in October.

Eastside Baby Corner’s second annual Pants Party collection event is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 10 at the EBC Warehouse, 1510 N.W. Maple St. To help fill the need for its No. 1 most requested item, Eastside Baby Corner seeks donations of children’s new or gently used pants (sizes 5 to 14) that will directly benefit local children in need. Their goal is to collect 1,000 pairs of pants, especially for boys, for low-income and homeless children for the back-to-school season.

“We had a few hundred pants and a few hundred people last year at our first event, so for the second year we thought we’d bump up the goal,” said Mia Reyes, communicates and development coordinator.

Reyes expects turnout to triple this year. Festivities are free, and include cupcakes from Cupcake D’Lish, arts and crafts booths from Macaroni Kid, and kid-friendly entertainment by the Kaleidoscope School of Music.

Now in its 21st year, Eastside Baby Corner gives children what they need to thrive by distributing almost everything kids, birth to age 12, through a network of family-assistance agencies. Learn more at www.babycorner.org.

could start as early as next year. The project received substantial attention from council members after the March sidewalk closure, but the upgrades did not rank as a top priority on the Capital Improvement Program — a long-term guide to planned updates of municipal facilities, equipment and roads.

“It’s been on our CIP now for awhile, going back beyond even this year,” Schaer said. “It’s just something that needs to get fixed, because we don’t want the wall to deteriorate or cause safety issues.

In my mind, it’s a pretty important project.”

In the meantime, the wall is in OK shape — at least until autumn and winter rains saturate the adjacent hillside. Instability on the slope is common after heavy rain.

“We just have to keep an eye on the seepage and make sure there aren’t any issues during the winter,” Brock said.

Schaer said the problem could worsen if construction is not completed on the wall as soon as possible.

“We’ve been fortunate so far that there hasn’t been a significant problem,” he said. “We’re playing on borrowed time, so to speak. We need to get this fixed.”

City Council members approved the city-county agreement Aug. 15.

Mayor Ava Frisinger said city leaders receive occasional calls from passers-by about the structure’s moisture-marred surface.

“The comments that we have heard from citizens about the wall have been related to the aesthetics,” she said.

Issaquah, King County forge agreement King County negotiators recognized the hardship such repairs could place on the city, and offered funds to help offset costs, city officials said. City staffers, and representatives from the county Department of Development and Environmental Services and County Executive Dow Constantine’s office negotiated the agreement.

“I think they basically understood and agreed that there were enough areas that were in question that they would feel comfortable being a partner in the agreement,” Brock said.

Consisting of Muslims, Christians and Jews, Together We Build will hold its 10th annual construction project Sept. 8-10 and the following weekend of Sept. 15-17 at Habitat’s Issaquah Highlands development on Magnolia Street.

The days were specifically planned to bookend the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Together We Build grew in the aftermath of those attacks. Over the past 10 years, the organization has contributed more than $430,000 to Habitat for Humanity.

Tower FROM PAGE A1

Macario often reached the office by 9:15 a.m. after a short jaunt on foot from a subway station in the Financial District. Until a few weeks before the attacks, she disembarked from a subway in a subterranean mall beneath the World Trade Center.

In the moments after the plane crashed into 1 World Trade Center, Macario and the crowd along the street assumed a mishap occurred — a wayward pilot, perhaps.

Then, a battleship-gray-and-navyblue airliner, United Airlines Flight 175, veered into the other tower as Macario and others assembled in the street watched in disbelief.

“We saw this very low approach out of your peripheral vision, and just watched it very deliberately flying into our building. That was the building that I worked in,” she said.

“For me, I knew that some of my coworkers would already be there.”

Flight 175 slammed into floors 77 through 85 at 9:02 a.m. The firestorm and smoke dispelled any notions about a possible accident.

“Being there at that moment, there was no doubt that that wasn’t an accident,” Macario said. “It was the most deliberate thing you could imagine.”

Uncertainty follows escape The mood along Liberty Street oscillated from unease to terror in the instant Flight 175 hit the building.

“As soon as that happened, immediately people turned and ran,” Macario said. “There was no sitting or contemplating at all. It was an immediate reaction of turning and running.”

The subway lines zigzagging beneath New York City remained open in the moments after the planes struck the buildings.

Macario headed for home, a brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

“I was lucky because I just followed the crowd. I was a sheep,” she said. “Everybody ran, I just ran with them and, luckily for me, they ran east toward my subway stop, and I just ran and hopped on.”

The city shut down the subway system not long afterward, at about the same time 2 World Trade Center — weakened from the jetfuel-accelerated fire — collapsed into smoldering rubble and belched a hellish cloud onto the Manhattan skyline.

Unknowingly, Macario boarded one of the last trains disembarking from Manhattan. Other passengers in the near-empty car did not realize the scale of the destruction outside.

“There was another woman and myself who had been out there and had seen it,” she said. “She and I were kind of hysterical and sitting next to each other and comforting each other. People were asking us, ‘What’s going on?’”

Macario, shaken and almost incoherent, attempted to explain the incident to other passengers.

“I told people — and later I realized, why did I say that? I had no basis for it — ‘They took an empty plane and they flew it into the building,’” she said. “I later realized, subconsciously, without ever thinking it through, that I had fully rejected the possibility that they could have gotten a plane full of people. My mind maybe thought that that was too horrible.”

The train deposited Macario in Park Slope and, as she headed home on foot, she called her mother in Washington.

“I knew she was watching the ‘Today’ show and freaking out,” she recalled. “I said, ‘I’m OK. I saw it happen, but I’m OK. I’m back in Brooklyn.’”

the rescue efforts, Backer said. The afternoon also was planned to honor civilians lost that day, as well as members of the military who have died in the conflicts resulting from 9/11, Waggoner said.

The event will last about 45 minutes, Backer said. Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger is expected to close out the remembrance.

World Trade Center crumbled.

“Later, of course, I got home and turned on the news, and started piecing together and hearing what was happening,” Macario said. “I realized that plane wasn’t empty at all.”

Most occupants in the towers beneath the crash sites survived the attacks. Thacher Proffitt & Wood and other tenants in 2 World Trade Center started to evacuate the building after the initial plane struck the other tower, but before the official announcement to flee.

“My immediate thoughts turned to my coworkers, trying to get a hold of everybody and wondering, ‘Was everybody OK?’” Macario said.

Macario also considered, fleetingly at least, the items she lost after the collapse destroyed her office, such as the photo snapped in Las Vegas showing her and a costumed Elvis impersonator.

“It is always weird to think that your mementos — you know, I obviously had personal photos — and that those were then among the rubble,” she said.

Nobody from the law firm perished in the attacks. (Though the recession late in the decade claimed 160-year-old Thacher Proffitt & Wood, a leader in the mortgagebacked securities market.)

“Then, once we got in touch with each other, we all thought, ‘We don’t have a place to go to work.

Do we have jobs still? What’s going to happen?’” Macario said. “There was a lot of that uncertainty.”

Fear clouds days after 9/11 Instead, she returned to work less than a week after Sept. 11. The marketing team returned early to start contacting clients and media about the firm’s relocation to a Midtown space along 42nd Street across from Bryant Park, between Times Square and Grand Central Station — potential targets for terrorists.

“In that mindset, all you could think was, ‘These are the next targets, and we’re right in the middle of them,’” she said.

The firm ordered breakfast and lunch for employees involved in the relocation effort, and employees ate as a way to cope. Macario gained about 10 pounds in the six months after the attacks.

Uncertainty and fear about another attack permeated New York City in the weeks after the World Trade Center collapse.

Rumors about threats churned across the city. The long, solemn recovery effort at ground zero dominated headlines and newscasts.

“If the subways ever stopped unexpectedly in between stations, you’d start to get panicky,” Macario said.

Soon, she reached a decision to relocate from New York to Washington.

“I probably came to it fairly early on. I started having that thought of, ‘What if I was one of the people that was in a hospital, that made it out but was injured? Who would definitely, 100 percent, go through anything to make sure they could

see me in the hospital?’” she said.

“I realized that it was my family here in Seattle.”

Macario stayed for several months to ensure the move did not result from some knee-jerk reaction to the attacks, relocated to Seattle in February 2002 and, in a coincidence, accepted a job at a law firm on the 37th floor in a downtown Seattle skyscraper.

“I had been so used to being traumatized myself and having all of my coworkers been traumatized that it was strange being with people who were relatively unaffected,” she said. “Of course, everybody thought it was sad and terrible, but they hadn’t been personally impacted by it.”

Downtown Seattle is along the flight path to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and passenger jets often amble low over Puget Sound. The airliners flying so close to skyscrapers dredged up uncomfortable memories for Macario.

“Every time I would be sitting in my boss’ office, it would look like these planes were headed for the building and I would start to get panicky,” she said. “Everybody else was just completely oblivious to it.

It took awhile to get used to that and calm down the nerves and begin to relax a bit.”

(Ironically, Macario is scheduled to fly from the East Coast on the attacks’ 10th anniversary.)

Soon, life resumed a normal rhythm; marriage and motherhood followed. Macario relocated to West Seattle and then to Issaquah, and left the legal field to start a marketing company.

Sometimes — and especially as the anniversary approaches since a September morning altered history and after special forces slew terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden in May — she reflects on the gulf separating days before 9/11 from days after. Sept. 10, 2001, did not differ much from preceding workdays.

“It was just an ordinary day,” she said. “Now, I think about the stuff that was in my office — the pictures that I had hanging up and the things in my office. It was just a completely average day.”

“Even though he was my younger brother, he was usually more mature than me — for the most part,” said Darlene Weigle, Wilson’s older sister and a Mirrormont resident.

“Sometimes, he was still my annoying little brother.”

The attacks on 9/11 led to a decadelong odyssey in Afghanistan and Iraq. The wars have claimed more than 6,000 U.S. service members — a grim milestone in a decade defined by catastrophe and conflict.

Wilson, 28, died in January 2008 after a crude bomb, or improvised explosive device, detonated during a foot patrol in Baghdad.

“My brother and I, it was always us two versus the world,” Weigle said. “He was my best friend; he wasn’t just my brother.”

‘The catalyst for everything’ Wilson moved to Tacoma not long before the 9/11 attacks, joining his sister and her husband in a cramped apartment.

“My husband called from work and had me turn on the TV,” she said. “I saw it, all of the images. I was freaking out and my brother was very calm and stoic.”

The images flashed across the screen in a horrific procession: smoldering rubble in New York City, a scarred façade on the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., and a barren field in Shanksville, Pa. Then, as a nation mourned in the days after 9/11, Weigle noticed a change.

“That was kind of his moment where he realized he wanted to do something, like he could be part of something,” she said.

Wilson decided to enlist in the Army as U.S. forces prepared to retaliate against al-Qaida in Afghanistan.

The war started less than a month after the terrorist attacks.

Wilson left Washington in January 2002 for basic training.

“If it wasn’t for 9/11, I don’t know what he would have ended up doing with himself,” Weigle said. “That was the catalyst for everything.”

Throughout basic training, brother and sister spoke often on the phone.

“His buddies at basic for a while thought I was his wife, because I

was the one he called,” she said.

The coming conflict in Iraq loomed as Weigle traveled to Fort Benning, Ga., for Wilson’s boot camp graduation.

‘That moment could be your last’ Weigle stopped watching the news not long after Wilson reached Iraq.

“A lot of times, the stuff hits the news before the families are even informed,” she said.

Still, some habits from preArmy life persisted, despite the distance separating continents and time zones. The siblings sent each other letters and chatted often on Yahoo! Messenger.

Weigle last spoke to her brother through the instant-messaging service a couple of days before he died — a run-of-the-mill conversation about life at home in the United States and routine duties in Iraq.

“I was kind of coursing through life — oh, I’m married; oh, I have kids — and it teaches you to value every moment you have with everybody. That moment could be your last moment with that person.”

Wilson transferred to the 101st Airborne Division, based at Fort Campbell, Ky., not long before deploying to the Middle East for tour No. 3.

Then, on Jan. 26, 2008, came the explosion in Baghdad.

Weigle lived in Richardson, Texas, at the time, and the Army sent soldiers — casualty assistance officers in military jargon — from Fort Hood, almost 200 miles south, to deliver the news.

“One day the Army showed up at my door,” she said through tears.

Wilson’s family chose Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia for a funeral 18 restless days after the incident.

“You’re kind of in limbo, waiting for days and discussing details over and over,” Weigle recalled.

‘I don’t want to be the only one’ In the years since the tragedy, Weigle, the mother of a young daughter and son, left Texas and

The flag once draped on her brother’s casket is crisply folded inside a case on the mantel.

Weigle received the flag at the funeral in Arlington.

The medals Wilson received for his service, including a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, rest inside a wooden chest. Weigle’s brother-in-law named his son for Wilson as another tribute.

“I haven’t been able to bring myself to go to Arlington yet,” she said regarding visiting her brother’s grave. “My husband keeps telling me, ‘If you want to go, we’ll make it happen.’ It was hard enough for me to leave the first time.”

Weigle also keeps in touch with some of her brother’s colleagues and, after her mother died last year, soldiers from her brother’s unit attended the funeral in Illinois. The conversations serve as a reminder of Wilson’s sacrifice in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

“You learn how to get through the day, but it doesn’t keep you from crying yourself to sleep at night,” she said.

Sometimes, on milestones such as her brother’s birthday, she places flowers on a memorial to fallen veterans in Seattle. Weigle also plans to pause and remember her fallen brother on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The acts represent part of a long and arduous healing process.

“I want his story to be there,” she said. “I don’t want to be the only one who thinks of him.”

OPINION

9/11 did not shake America’s spirit PRESS E DITORIAL

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 left a mixed legacy in America. Even 10 years later what exactly that legacy is remains unclear. It is still obscured by the dust and debris kicked up from the collapsing World Trade Center towers.

There is no neat thread to tie it all together.

Part of the legacy is pain, shock, fear, suffering, introspection, resolve and hope.

But one thing is clear: Our communities remain strong.

Terrorists cannot destroy the bonds that tie neighbor to neighbor.

The past 10 years began with a shock of violence that left a profound emotional scar on our country’s psyche. The decade has seen America work through its initial fear, spend much in blood and treasure on two wars and evaluate its role in the world. It has also seen Americans engage in national introspection about who we are and what our most essential values are.

Fear prompted a rise in security measures largely unknown during peacetime in America. Some of these measures have proven valuable and worthwhile. Also, we have debated and continue to debate the value of other measures.

But we have not let fear alone guide us.

Continued attempts to attack America have proven that appropriate vigilance is indeed needed.

The attacks of Sept. 11 prompted a nationwide focus on preparing for disasters of all sorts — manmade and natural ones. We are all safer today because of training and resources that were not widely available before 9/11.

As time has passed, the shock of 9/11 has ebbed for most of us. Life has returned to normal, even if the shadow of that day will always be with those of us who lived through it.

Terrorists might have been able to shut down air travel for a few days in our country, but they cannot break our communities, which are the backbone of America.

Road turtles don’t grow in Idaho

E

veryone told me two things about my move from Moscow, Idaho, to my new home writing for The Issaquah Press and Newcastle News.

One: “Issaquah? You know that’s where Modest Mouse is from, right?”

Two: “You’re going to hate the traffic.”

But on a dark, fateful night in late July, this native-born Idahoan met her newest pesky road foe — and it had nothing to do with learning first hand how ill-advised it is to leave the office here on Front Street at 5:05 p.m. to make it on time to, well, anywhere.

I didn’t know what to call them, these white and yellow traffic bumps in neat little rows held down against their will by thick, black tar-like goo.

All I knew was that these little road turtles were masquerading as my beloved solid painted lines that have so faithfully led me to my chosen destination time and time again.

They’re called Botts’ Dots, and they thrive in states where little snow accumulation occurs.

According to the Department of Transportation in California, where Elbert D. Botts invented these small traffic pimples in 1953, there are more than 20 million of them on California’s roadways.

The dots are now commonly used across the world and in western states including Washington, Arizona and Nevada, and southern states such as Alabama and Mississippi.

Botts was working in the Caltrans materials testing lab in Sacramento when he happened

upon the idea of using a raised pavement marker — which is what civil engineer-types refer to the buggers as — to help make the painted Christina lines separating lanes last Lords longer.

Press reporter According to California’s DOT, that added bonus of an audible warning when you’re drifting out of your lane was completely unintentional.

By a legislative mandate in 1966, Botts’ Dots were ultimately placed on all of California’s freeways, except in areas where a snowplow could scrape them off the roadways and possibly lead to untimely road turtle death.

Everyone told me I’d come to despise being bumper to bumper on Interstate 5, or what had been described to me as Satan’s Highway, the 405.

Little did I know I’d have bigger fish to fry with the evils of constantly being lost in a new city with no lines painted on the road to show me the way.

In the night, all of the blips blend together and reflect a confusing maze of almost-illuminated-like pathways I attempt to navigate.

I just hope that especially in busy intersections with what to this girl feels like 743 lanes, my trusty old Kia Sephia with Idaho plates (that I’ve probably now illegally refused to let go of) and I will overcome.

City responded quickly to overheated space that caused patron to faint Even when we did not have much of a warm spring or summer, the temperature inside the Issaquah Community Center arena at 7 a.m. was running very high.

That made it very uncomfortable for those exercising. One person, bathed in sweat while riding a stationary bicycle, fainted and Eastside Fire & Rescue was called. Thankfully, the person was back to the community center the next day.

A meeting was set with a few early-morning attendees and Ross Hoover, recreation supervisor. He listened and the next day the conditions were improved and by the fourth day the conditions were great.

Tree City USA

City Council values unknown future development more than land preservation

forested, city-owned, one-acre parcel in the Issaquah Highlands — to sell the trees and market the property to a developer? A parcel sells better, it was explained to us, if it is cleared.

Nevermind that no other landowner in the city could get away with such a thing. No matter that acres and acres have been cleared in the highlands for years and years with no development. In spite of the City Council, which had just passed a development agreement pointing that parcel toward affordable housing.

Indifferent to the fact that that same agreement includes conditions, specific to this parcel, saying that it couldn't be cleared without a landuse permit in hand. Does this make sense to you?

Hey, we are a Tree City USA where our city administration values unknown future development more than our trees. If this outrages you as it does me, please let our City Council know!

Navy JROTC gets reprieve, if district picks up entire tab

By Tom Corrigan Issaquah Press reporter A Navy spokesman said local officials potentially could save the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at Issaquah High School.

But only if the district was willing to take on the entire cost of running the program, said Mike Miller of the Naval Training Service Command.

In an e-mail to Issaquah High JROTC students and their families, district schools Superintendent Steve Rasmussen said a district takeover of the program is not practical.

Last month, the Navy announced plans to disestablish the Issaquah JROTC program, along with 28 other units nationally, because of low enrollment combined with budget restraints. Under the Navy’s plan, the unit will stay active through the coming school year, but would be formally disbanded as of June 30, 2012.

The move will not affect the JROTC program at Liberty High School, and Rasmussen said Issaquah High JROTC members would be able to transfer into the Liberty program.

As for the Issaquah High unit, it could transform into a branch of the National Defense Cadet Corps, Miller said. The Department of Defense would allow the unit to operate no matter its enrollment.

District officials already have decided against that option for several reasons, including the price tag, Rasmussen said.

“To incur that significant expense to provide a less robust

Now that I think about it, it’s probably a handful of companies that can say that. Jim — no, I mean Mr. Sinegal — you have earned the title and respect in my house. Best wishes to you and your family; be proud of what you have done — your positive footprint is one that will be seen centuries from now.

alternative for our students does not make fiscal sense when we have faced more than $12 million in state revenue cuts,” Rasmussen said.

Just to pay the unit’s instructors would cost the district $76,000 a year, according to Sara Niegowski, district executive director of communications.

Going beyond cost, district leaders want interested students to enroll “in an official, proven NJROTC program rather than an alternative that is run with little or no direct contact with the Navy,” Rasmussen said.

Transferring to Liberty seems a better option for those Issaquah High students who want to continue in JROTC, Rasmussen added.

Miller said about seven schools nationwide have the Defense Corps program. Individual district economics are a definite factor, Miller said.

“We hate it that we have to close units,” he added.

Rasmussen vowed the Liberty program would serve as a viable alternative to that at Issaquah High.

“Overall, I am disappointed that Issaquah High will lose the NJROTC program on its campus,” Rasmussen added. “But our high schools are unified in their dedication to keeping a strong, viable NJROTC option at Liberty High available to all students. Each of our campuses will work together to help students access this option this year and into the future.”

friend since we met in graduate school 35 years ago.

While I live on the East Coast, I have been aware of the hard work and changes that Maureen has made for Issaquah.

During my frequent visits to Squak Mountain this year, I have been overwhelmed by the beauty of Issaquah.

Maureen is a selfless person and an advocate for all that is good in both private and civic life.

What many don’t know, since she left public life in Issaquah, is that she has handled this devastating illness with unbelievable grace and continues to reach out to others despite the extraordinary physical limitations she now faces.

I have been so heartened by the honors that the city of Issaquah has bestowed on Maureen. She is so deserving, and I know the naming of McCarry Woods means a great deal to her.

Thank you, from a loving friend.

Police gain capability to retrieve license photos during stops Police used to rely on text descriptions to identify criminals, but now, due to upgraded computer capabilities, officers can retrieve driver’s license photos on in-car computers.

Through a $300,000 grant from the State, Regional and Federal Enterprise Retrieval System project and the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority, officers can quickly confirm a person’s identity by using a copy of a state Department of Licensing photo.

The program is expected to reach most law enforcement agencies in the state soon.

“This is about catching bad guys who are trying to deceive us by using fake names,” Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste said in a statement. “We are now able to quickly determine the real identity of these people.”

only

The grant gave many states, including neighboring Oregon and Idaho, the ability to share license photos through the state patrol’s A Central Computerized Enforcement Service System, or ACCESS. The funding from the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority gave police agencies in Washington the same ability to use the system to quickly retrieve a copy of a license photo and make a positive identification.

ACCESS is managed and operated by the state patrol’s Criminal Records Division. The system is designed to give law enforcement the ability to query multiple state and national databases as a tool in the administration of criminal justice.

“The WATPA board members were convinced that providing this new technology to officers in the field would aid in the preservation

of public safety and in the apprehension of offenders including those who engage in auto theft,” Don Pierce, Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority chairman, said in a statement. “We are extremely pleased with the results of this grant program.”

The initial agency in the state to gain the ability to view license photos through ACCESS is the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Most law enforcement agencies in the state should gain the ability by November.

“Having DOL pictures instantaneously will help us in a lot of ways, including identifying people for criminal investigations, traffic stops, hit-and-run collisions, and helping identify missing or lost people,” Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield said in a statement.

O BITUARIES

Harry E. Kane

Harry E. Kane, age 83, of Issaquah, died Aug. 11, 2011, at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue, of metastatic cancer.

He was born Oct. 6, 1927, Harry Kane in Oakland, Calif. He was raised in Albany, Calif., and graduated from Albany High School and College of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. He excelled and lettered in three sports in high school and signed with the San Francisco 49ers out of college.

He was a veteran, serving with the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1946 to 1947.

Harry coached football for 14 years in Stockton, Calif.; Bakersfield College, Calif.; and the University of Nevada, Reno. He received a master’s degree in economics from Pacific.

For 20 years, he was a Coors Beer distributor in Cochise County, Douglas, Ariz.

He was active in the community, serving as president of the cham-

ber of commerce, president of both Rotary and Kiwanis, and as a president of the Chochise County Fair Association and the Rocky Mountain Beer Distributors.

Harry had many interests besides football, including fishing, travel and wood-crafting family gifts, and after moving to Washington, genealogy. Among their worldwide travels, Harry and Maggie traveled extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Australia, researching family trees. From this prodigious research Harry created elaborate family trees, leaving a lasting legacy for all of the children.

Growing up an only child, Harry treasured his family; his children and grandchildren were dear to his heart. Harry is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart Margaret; children Harry (Bud) Kane, Kevin Kane, Jennifer Mueller, Marjorie Kane, Kathleen Honne; stepchildren Diane Stimpson, Sandra Warner, Sherry Carlson, Gregory Eby and Jennifer Eby, including daughters and sons-in-law; 18 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.

A celebration of his life was Sept. 3.

Ask the

Audiologist...

Often the answer is YES. Once a medical cause for your tinnitus is ruled out, a hearing aid may be the next step to relief. One theory of the cause of tinnitus is that the hair cells that activate the hearing nerve died in the “on” position, thus causing your hearing loss and tinnitus. A hearing aid can improve the way you hear and understand people while at the same time mask or minimize the tinnitus. This sound masking helps your brain learn to “tuneit-out.” Some users report a reprieve from their tinnitus for hours after taking the devices off.

daughter of Fred and Malvina Duell. She moved to Issaquah in 1964 and to Kirkland in 1990. She was a preschool teacher and later a World Book Encyclopedia representative. She is survived by her three children Fred and Clayton Green and Lisa Green Rhodes, and 12 grandchildren.

She was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Kirkland, where a celebration of her life will be held at 1 p.m. on Sept 8.

By Laura Geggel Encompass’ “Emotion Coaching” parenting class is back by popular demand.

A class scheduled for Sept. 22 in the Issaquah Highlands is already full. A second class has been set for Oct. 5.

“I think the reason the workshop keeps filling up so fast is that it’s a relatively new area for parents to be talking about,” Encompass parent education and support manager Kerry Beymer said. “We all are so accustomed to talking about physical development and academic development, but social and emotional development is just as important, and parents are starting to realize that.”

The first 35 parents or caretakers who register for the free, twohour workshop will learn how to acknowledge and respect children’s feelings before they begin problem solving with the child about how to best handle the situation.

The workshop targets parents of preschool and grade-school students.

“This is really around that age where you are trying to help them have good self-regulatory skills,” Beymer said.

Encompass is a children and family services organization serving the Snoqualmie Valley and the greater Eastside.

Last October, Beymer attended a training held by the Talaris and Gottman institutes, enabling her to become a certified Talaris Parenting Counts instructor. The evidence-based workshop allows parents to act as their children’s “emotion coach,” she said.

When Beymer offered the first class in March at Blakely Hall, so many people signed up that she ended up offering two sessions.

One of the workshops helped Issaquah Highlands mother Valerie Korock step back and assess a situation between herself and her children.

One night, she caught her son coloring with crayons in his bed.

“For me, that’s not OK because we color at the table,” Korock said.

Yet, when she tried to take away her son’s crayons, he became upset. Normally, she would just tell him rules are rules, and tell him to go to sleep. But, after taking the class, she acknowledged her son’s feelings, and asked him why he was upset.

It turned out her son was drawing a secret picture for his father, and he wanted it to be a surprise.

Working together, mother and son solved the problem; he could not color in bed, but she allowed him to hide his art downstairs so his father wouldn’t learn about the secret.

“It’s hard, I can’t do it all the time,” Korock said.

But, statistics are on her side.

Observational research has shown that parents who use the “Emotion Coaching” techniques 30 percent to 40 percent of the time still have favorable results with their children.

“The more you use them, the more your kid is going to have self-regulatory skills, which is good for school and friends,” Beymer said.

During the workshop, she asks parents how they feel about emotions.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 •

“Some people really believe that emotions mess up your thinking and you shouldn’t have emotions and you should just focus on the facts,” Beymer said. “Some people really let emotions guide their thinking.”

Parents handle their children’s emotions differently. For instance, dismissive parents may not acknowledge or discuss their children’s unhappy feelings, saying, “Oh, I know you’re sad, let’s go eat a cookie,” Beymer said.

When parents dismiss emotions such as sadness or anger, children do not learn how to deal with those emotions.

Yet another type of parenting, called disapproving parenting, happens when parents invalidate their children’s emotions.

“The disapproving parent is always saying, ‘You shouldn’t feel like that. You have no right to be mad about that right now,’” Beymer said.

Parents attending the workshop will learn they can accept their children’s feelings without approving of them.

“You can say, ‘I get it, you’re upset right now. Let’s talk about it,’” Beymer said.

Laissez-faire parents leave their children alone, letting them work out their tantrums by themselves.

Finally, “Emotion Coaching” parents act like consultants, acknowledging emotions and working with the child to solve the problem.

“All parents go through all of those stages,” Beymer said.

The “Emotion Coaching” class allows parents to adjust their styles for all types of children, Korock said. After learning about the varied parenting styles, she

realized her parents were more laissez-faire toward her, meaning she has to educate herself now to act differently.

Overall, she called the class “encouraging.” Though her daughter was 3 years old and her son was only 15 months old when she attended the workshop, her son is already absorbing some of the lessons.

“I was shocked because I didn’t think he was old enough to understand, but it was interesting because we did it with her, so we did it with him,” she said.

“Watching him grow through the toddler years, he seemed to have a different ability to express his feelings and his needs and his wants.”

Swedish/Issaquah introduces OB speed dating

By David Hayes Issaquah Press reporter When Christie Malchow and her husband moved to Sammamish recently from Kirkland, they needed to find another OB/GYN for their second child.

“I didn’t want to drive to back to Kirkland when we had a new hospital right here” said Malchow, 38.

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Malchow said she learned of a new program from Swedish/Issaquah during a stop at an information booth at a pubic event at City Hall — OB speed dating.

On Aug. 16, Swedish/Issaquah gathered nine of its doctors in one location — the new Café 1910 — and 17 couples attended, each getting five minutes with each doctor. The parents ranged

from just looking, to those expecting their first and second babies.

Dr. Jane Uhlir, Swedish’s executive director of the Women’s and Infants and Pediatric Specialty Care service lines, had heard on the radio about a similar event in Texas to help parents find a pediatrician. She thought that would be the perfect setting for mothers and prospective mothers to find an OB/GYN the same way.

“Hospitals traditionally schedule a one-hour meet and greet for patients and perspective doctors,” Uhlir said. “That’s a big commitment of time of a doctor’s day.

The speed dating is a better way to get information out more quickly.”

Uhlir said the first session was considered a success, as at least four of the couple — including

BEST OF ISSAQUAH 14 CONSECUTIVE YEARS! 1996-2010

the Malchows — found the right doctor for them.

“This was a unique opportunity to physically speak face to face with several doctors,” Malchow said. “It was better than throwing a dart at a dart board.”

In addition to meeting perspective doctors, Uhlir said the sessions offered a tour of the hospital’s services and provided educational material for both parents and grandparents.

She added that with today’s sophisticated parents, the participants came armed with good, quality questions to help them narrow their choices.

In addition to having something similar at its open house Oct. 23, Uhlir said the hospital plans to have future speed dating sessions about every six months, based on attendance and need. She added it’s also offered at Swedish’s First Hill, Edmonds and Ballard locations.

“The initial reaction is parents are really surprised. ‘OB speed dating? What are you talking about,’” Uhlir said. “But they quickly find it’s fun, it helps build the community and family con-

nection between them and their hospital, and they’ve been quite pleased.”

Malchow said she’d definitely recommend prospective parents give the program a try.

“I would absolutely recommend speed dating to others,” she said.

“It’s a fabulous marketing idea. I don’t think there’s a better way of finding them than talking to several doctors in a five-minute timeframe.”

Spartans rout Patriots, 62-27 Skyline scores 48 unanswered points to turn close match into no doubter

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter Before the 2011 season opener against visiting Liberty High School, Skyline High School football coach Mat Taylor had only called a reverse one other time in a game.

But both times he called a re-

verse Sept. 2, it worked like a charm. The Patriots defense bit hard and overran the play, giving Skyline big yards. And on one of them, junior wide receiver Nic Sblendorio ran the ball in from 13 yards out for a game-tying touchdown in the second quarter.

“It’s something we feel we have to be able to do,” Taylor said.

“It was dire straits there for a little bit. But our kids are opportunistic.”

— Mat Taylor Skyline High School football coach

Skyline did more than run a couple of tricky plays well against Liberty. The Spartans defense contained running back Hamilton Noel, limited the Liberty passing game and capitalized on turnovers in a big way. Skyline beat Liberty, 62-27, in the nonleague opener at Spartan Stadium.

“It was dire straits there for a little bit,” Taylor said. “But our kids are opportunistic.”

Those dire straits didn’t last long. Down 21-14 late in the second quarter, Skyline marched 60 yards to even things out on that reverse play.

Things got messy when Liberty fumbled at its own 23-yard line and Skyline scored on a Max Browne-Nate Gibson-Taggart Krueger pass play that put six points on the scoreboard. Liberty fumbled the ball on its next possession at the 30-yard line.

Skyline defensive end Brandon Fisher recovered the fumble with 51 seconds remaining in the half and Browne, the 6-foot-5 junior phenom, completed three passes and another touchdown, again throwing to a wide-open Krueger.

Browne completed 15 of 17 pass attempts for 178 yards and four touchdowns before Gibson took over in the third quarter.

“We prepared well. We came out with a lot of excitement,” Liberty quarterback Jordan West said.

“We came in and I thought we did well. It was more or less mistakes.

Once we made one, it all just fell apart.”

Liberty, which beat Skyline 3934 last year, trailed 35-21 at half-

Eagles win 48-0, finding there’s safeties in numbers Jack Gellatly scores twice, Issaquah defense gets three endzone sacks

By Christina Lords Issaquah Press reporter About a minute and a half into Issaquah High School’s season opener Sept. 2 against visiting Heritage High School, Jack Gellatly sailed into the end zone for Issaquah, scoring his first of two rushing touchdowns.

It became a big night for Gel-

latly, a sophomore running back, and for the Eagles. Dominating both offensively and defensively, the Eagles never looked back en route to a 48-0 nonleague victory against Heritage, of Vancouver, in Gary Moore Stadium.

All of Issaquah’s points came in the first half.

“We came out really strong, scoring on our first drive,” Gel-

latly said. “But our defense was also phenomenal. Our starters had a shutout, and some young guys came in and did really well to keep the shutout going. It’s always cool to see a lot of people playing and contributing.”

Gellatly, the youngest of four brothers who all starred at Issaquah, rushed for 113 yards on four carries.

Metallic purple-and-gold poms reflected the sun shining through the trees as more than 50 purple duffle bags haphazardly lined the grass near a baseball diamond in Tibbetts Valley Park.

To Mickayla Cummins, one of about 65 girls enrolled in the Issaquah Youth Cheer program’s inaugural season, those colors are far from insignificant.

Cummins, 12, has been cheering since she was a young girl, but she’s never been able to cheer for Issaquah in Issaquah.

Until now.

The Issaquah Youth Cheer program — made up of five squads with six coaches — will cheer for each of the 11 youth football teams a minimum of two times this season, cheer director Kathy Corbin said.

“It’s been overlooked as a sport,” coach Julé Gunn said. “But it is considered one. They exercise. They dance. It’s a lot of teamwork and sportsmanship.”

Most surrounding youth football programs, such as Skyline and Newport, have cheer programs in place, and Issaquah had an obvious void to fill, she said.

Organizers of the program were hoping to have 25 to 30 girls initially sign up. They were ecstatic when 65 registered for the program’s first season, Gunn said.

“We have kids in the program who were our driving force,” Corbin said. “There was so much interest in starting it for about five years.”

The program is open to students in second through ninth grades who live in the Issaquah High School boundaries. There are two squads of second- to fifth-graders and three squads of sixth- to eighth-graders this year.

More squads will be added with increased participation.

Each of the six coaches in the program has been certified by the Washington State Cheer Coaches Association to teach and spot stunts.

The girls practice four times a week during the summer and every Tuesday and Thursday while school is in session. They perform and cheer for youth football games

every Saturday.

The girls have been working on a half-time dance as well as dozens of cheers and chants.

“The most important thing we’re doing is giving them a foundation in cheer,” Corbin said.

“That means building self-esteem.

Reed Peterson and senior wide receiver Jake Bakamus all added a touchdown with successful extra points tacked on from junior Alexander Shane for Issaquah in the contest.

Gellatly, who also ran back a 35yard interception for a touchdown, said while much went well for the Issaquah squad, the season is young and there’s always more to learn from and improve upon.

“No team ever has a perfect game, and we certainly didn’t have a perfect game tonight,” he said. “You try to roll off the momentum, but you look at film and see what we did wrong.

“There’s some routes that we didn’t run quite right and we’ll go back and work on those.”

Issaquah coach Chris Bennett said he was pleased with senior quarterback Ethan Kalin’s pass efficiency and how well the offense was able to maintain a balance of passing and rushing yards.

Kalin completed 8 of 12 passes for 125 yards. He connected with Bakamus on a 40-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. The Eagles finished with 339 total yards, most coming in the first half.

Defensively, Issaquah held Heritage to -53 yards in the first half.

The Timberwolves finished the game with just 22 total yards.

“Defensively, we were very assignment oriented, and they know the road gets tougher as we go, but we couldn’t ask for a better start,” Bennett said.

He said he will continue to stress protecting the ball after one fumble in the first half, but the Eagles were able to capitalize on

several of Heritage’s mistakes, including Issaquah scoring three safeties after Heritage’s several bad snaps to punter Houston Dillard.

“Overall, we still need to focus on gelling as a unit,” Bennett said.

“We’ve got a lot of new faces out there, and we need to play together.”

Bennett rested his starters in the second half.

The Eagles will take on rival Liberty at 7 p.m. Sept. 9 in a nonleague contest at Issaquah.

time. But Skyline junior linebacker Peter Stromgren intercepted a pass from West at the Liberty 12yard line just 10 seconds in. One play later, wide receiver Trevor Barney was crouching with the ball from Browne in the end zone.

That put Skyline up 41-21 after Liberty blocked the extra point attempt.

But on the Patriots’ next possession, Spartan linebacker Peyton Pelluer recovered a blocked punt in the end zone to put the game away with 9:45 left in the third quarter.

Skyline scored 48 unanswered points in all.

“That was huge,” Taylor said about the turnovers.

Liberty scored on passing plays of 25 and 35 yards, respectively, and also scored off a fumble recovery in the second quarter. West, making his first varsity start at quarterback, threw three touchdown passes to three different receivers. He finished 10 for 22

Liberty also earned 168 yards on the ground on 32 carries. Skyline held Noel to 45 yards on 14 carries in the first

half.

“Defensively, we overran a lot of their stuff,” Liberty coach Steve Valach said. “It’s hard enough keeping Skyline out of the end

zone from 80 yards out, let alone from 20 yards after giving up a turnover.

“They just kind of dominate there,” he said.

Skyline finished with 410 yards total offense. Liberty had 338. Skyline’s Damian Greene had 44 yards rushing on six carries and also had 78 yards on two receptions.

Sblendorio finished with 47 yards on two carries, two receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown.

Valach said Liberty would work on a number of things as it gears up for week two. The team plays at Issaquah Sept. 9. Skyline hosts Bellevue, the defending 3A state champions, the same night.

“We can’t control Skyline, but we can control us,” Valach said.

“We got to fix what we can fix.”

The Sammamish yearbook named one of nation’s best

Lack of youth vote is disappointing

By Kim Bussing It should come as no surprise that general voter participation in the United States is significantly lower than it was 40 years ago.

Our nation, which, ironically, has tried to promote democracy and fair voting standards in foreign areas, has some of the lowest voter participation in developed countries.

However, recent statistics have revealed that perhaps it is not the lack of concern on the part of the overall population, but it is the youth — encompassing anyone under age 25 — who have been avoiding polls and recycling mailin ballots.

In fact, 86 percent of anyone older than 65 has expressed interest in following current political issues; that number decreases to about 36 percent with the younger generation. What has prompted the youth’s poor regard towards partisan concerns? Dismay over the current state of politics, con-

cern that their vote carries no weight or simply general apathy?

Regardless of the reason, lack of information about presidential contenders and the general political atmosphere is rampant amongst students beginning to exercise their electing power for the first time.

With the 2012 elections looming ever closer and candidates becoming the celebrities of political cartoons and Time magazine covers, very few new voters can even identify pictures of top contenders for office. The most recognized face? Sarah Palin, made infamous by her short-lived reality TV show,

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” and Tina Fey’s impression of her on “Saturday Night Live.”

Studies have shown that with easy access to the Internet and TV shows that focus on comedy rather than national issues, such as “SNL,” it is easy for the generation that was nursed on technology to ignore upcoming political events and debates completely.

Season premieres and football games take precedence over presidential speeches, and candidates are known for their caricature portrayal by the media rather than for their platform.

The aforementioned may act as the catalysts for a general disregard for modern politics, but also foreshadow the United States’ priorities. After all, while Palin’s reality TV show garnered record-high ratings, President Obama’s relatively recent speech on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan broke records for the lowest number of viewers since he took office.

KIDS’ CROSSWORD!

Investing in the New Normal

This week’s theme is “Memories of summer.”

Print your puzzle at www.issaquahpress.com/ category/crosswordpuzzles.

Today, we confront the aftershocks of a tectonic shift in the global economy that led to the near-collapse of the financial markets in 2008. Weʼre operating in what some have called “The New Normal,” and many of the old investment approaches no longer apply.

In this new environment, we believe investment portfolios must be managed professionally and proactively, and financial lives must be governed by caution and prudence.

Open House Nov. 5, 10am-Noon

We invite you and a guest to join us for a dinner presentation discussing the following topics:* • What is the New Normal, and why do we subscribe to it?

• The importance of income-producing investments • Economic & Market Outlook • Retirement Income Strategies

According to teacher and yearbook staff advisor Ellen Jarvinen, one key to success may have been the cover of the 2011 edition of The Sammamish, Issaquah High School’s yearbook.

Over the summer, the publishing company Jostens selected the yearbook as one of its National Sample Books.

Of the thousands of books Jostens prints each year, the company selects only nine high school books and four middle school books as sample books. The honor means Jostens will show the 2011 IHS yearbook to staffs around the country.

“It is so cool that other yearbook staffs will be looking at our yearbook as an example of what is a good yearbook,” said Hayley Beck, last year’s editor-in-chief who is getting ready to attend Western Washington University this year.

“I don’t think we really realized at first what a big deal this was,” said Jessica Dillon, 17, who was on The Sammamish staff last year and will serve as one of its editors this year.

“It was a lot of work, but it was all worth it,” added Shawn Terasaki, 17, another member of last year’s staff and the editor-inchief of this year’s book.

Jessica said students were told the cover is important, that they needed to “nail” it. She thinks they did, and so does Jarvinen, who said last year’s staff went with a fairly traditional, classic and clean design.

Still, the teacher also noted last year’s Sammamish was tabbed by Jostens’ judges before they ever saw the cover. So Jarvinen is convinced the quality of the photography and the short, punchy writing style made the book stand out from the crowd. Jarvinen said she had her staff emphasize photography for the book, keeping writing and descriptions to a pithy minimum.

“I really think they liked that, our quick reads,” Jarvinen said.

In the past, The Sammamish was tabbed three times for what Jarvinen called “The Look Book.”

Basically, it’s a large book of worthy page examples and cover designs. But this is the first time The Sammamish was picked as a National Sample Book. Jarvinen and this year’s editors said the feat seems more impressive taking into account last year’s staff consisted of a whopping 10 people.

“It was fun,” Shawn said, “But it got a little tough sometimes.”

Beck said she got involved at the request of Jarvinen, who also teaches photography and advises the school magazine.

“I did not have any prior expe-

Students who work on the Issaquah High yearbook must sign up for Jarvinen’s yearbook class.

The teacher was happy to report she had about 25 students signed up for the elective this year, though she added there is room for more. Jarvinen’s students learn plenty of computer graphics, working with programs such as In Design and Photoshop. But Jarvinen said they also learn a lot of responsibility.

“It’s a commitment and there’s real-world deadlines,” said Jarvinen, noting that if someone doesn’t finish his or her “homework” for her yearbook class, somebody else must.

“It’s very much like a job,” Jessica said.

Usually, class assignments consist of photographing a sporting contest or some other school event. Both Jessica and Shawn said getting to attend all of those events is one of the pluses of being on the yearbook staff.

“You get a lot of privileges other kids don’t have,” Shawn said, echoing some of Beck’s comments.

“It is so cool that other yearbook staffs will be looking at our yearbook as an example of what is a good yearbook.”

— Hayley Beck The Sammamish 2010 editor-in-chief

Every year’s Sammamish has a theme. For 2011, it was “Defined by us.” The theme referred to nervousness over what was then Issaquah High’s impending move to a new building. Jarvinen said some students and teachers feared the school might lose its identity in the new structure. The theme was meant to show that people, not a building, define the school.

This year’s theme and the cover design are closely kept secrets, Jarvinen said, adding at this point only her and a few students know what is in the offing.

Shawn will have the major responsibility for designing the cover.

“You want the cover to be something people will like,” he said.

Food bank emphasizes fresh fare

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The emphasis at the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank is on fresh fare, as clients call for more healthy options on pantry shelves and administrators add more space for nutritious foods.

The nascent effort to offer more fresh fare to clients comes as Cori Kauk settles in as executive director and pantry staffers put information from a client survey into use.

The municipal Resource Conservation Office and AmeriCorps members conducted a survey in July to gather input from food bank clients. The respondents asked for more fresh and healthy foods, plus more fruits and vegetables, at the downtown pantry.

The survey also indicated clients’ interest in gluten-free and reduced-sodium foods.

Throughout the summer, produce from community gardens in the Issaquah area is donated to the food bank. The survey determined many clients did not realize the connection existed.

“I know my personal mission is to definitely have more healthy foods in our facility,” Kauk said.

“Are we hearing that from clients?

I think the survey was pretty clear that they would love to have more healthy food options.”

Since starting in January, Kauk has reduced shelf space for pastries and other frosted items, and increased space for breads. The pantry still offers sweet snacks, such as granola bars.

“We really, really love our grocery stores, and they give us lots of food to give to clients, but we are making a conscious effort to make sure that what we do have in our food bank — with the limited space that we have — is much more nutritious,” she said.

Focus on healthy choices Kauk is cautious about creating a perception of the food bank as the food police.

“I would prefer for people to go

to the grocery store and make a conscious decision to buy that type of food versus us giving it away for free,” she said. “Usually, those types of foods aren’t very expensive, and so it’s silly to me to have shelves and shelves and shelves of inexpensive, nothealthy food when we could have those shelves being utilized for more produce or something that will make a meal, versus a snack.”

The shift did not generate any pushback from clients, she said, although some volunteers questioned the decision.

“A lot of people who question that feel like it’s not our responsibility to dictate what people eat,” she added.

Kauk, a former Bellingham recreation coordinator, emphasized the importance of physical activity and healthy eating. Concerns about childhood obesity, diabetes and other maladies also influenced the decision.

“I don’t want our food bank to perpetuate that problem,” she said.

Garden provides organic fare The problem is compounded because fewer options for healthy fare exist for lower-income people. Often, processed food is cheaper than fresh food.

City staffers and AmeriCorps members spearheaded the client survey because the city and Seattle Tilth, a nonprofit organization, oversee a garden at Pickering Barn to provide organic produce to the food bank.

“We were also able to ask questions like, ‘What kind of foods would you like to see?’” said Mary Joe de Beck, a senior program manager in the Resource Conservation Office. “That way we could turn around and then grow that type of food, which is really cool.”

Canvassers conducted the surveys in multiple languages and received 18 completed surveys.

The city also learned to include tips alongside some donations from the garden to the food bank, such as fava beans.

“If we’re growing things at the garden that people aren’t used to cooking, then it makes sense for us to do things like provide recipes and provide really easy ways for people to prepare the produce,” de Beck said.

In addition to the garden at Pickering Barn, gardeners at local pea patches donate fresh — and often organic — produce to the food bank.

“I think people are realizing that they don’t have to let any of their harvest go to waste, that there are people who need food and, hopefully, they’re bringing it here or giving it somewhere where there are people who could use more produce,” Kauk said.

In the latest phase of a regional Traffic Buster project, the state established a link between Issaquah and the state Department of Transportation’s regional office.

The project connects 22 agencies to share transportation data and video from the regional traffic camera network. In the long term, the project is meant to lay the foundation for regional traffic congestion solutions.

In Issaquah, city engineers can view — but not control — video from the Department of Transportation and other agencies’ cameras, as well as the operation of state traffic signals in real time.

Though not all state cameras in the Issaquah area operate on the system yet, officials said the network should expand soon.

In the future, officials said the system should allow city traffic engineers to view the state’s electronic message boards and repost messages about possible impacts, such as accidents or lane closures on Interstate 90, on similar boards installed throughout Issaquah.

The state is responsible for providing, installing, setting up and configuring all of the necessary equipment for the city’s connection.

The state Department of Licensing updated the driving tests taken by people seeking a commercial driver’s license Sept. 1.

The major change to the test requires drivers to complete a third backing-up exercise. In addition, the test’s scoring system has been updated to expand a tester’s ability to evaluate the driver’s performance during the road test.

The state also plans to adopt updated testing procedures next year to better measure a commercial driver’s ability to perform a commercial vehicle inspection.

Officials said the changes reflect national commercial driver’s license knowledge and skills-testing standards. Experts at the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators developed the standards. The changes also received the endorsement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the regulator for the trucking industry.

Learn more about the changes at the Department of Licensing’s website, www.dol.wa.gov.

Washington has about 200,000 commercial drivers or commercial permit holders, and gives about 10,000 commercial driver’s license skills tests each year.

Village Theatre presents “Take Me America” through Nov. 20, 303 Front St. N., $22 to $66, available at the box office, 3922202

The subject for the latest original musical from Village Theatre is rooted in human rights and national security — ambitious issues to address onstage and in song.

“Take Me America” offers tales from refugees seeking political asylum in the United States, as well as the government agents assigned to determine the applicants’ fates.

The opener for Village Theatre’s 201112 season Sept. 15 is the West Coast premiere for the show.

Bill Nabel, “Take Me America” author and lyricist, said “Well-Founded Fear” — a 2000 documentary about the asylum process — laid the foundation for the rock musical. The filmmakers recorded the last interviews of applicants in the asylum process for the piece.

“To me, a musical is about where you find your heart,” Nabel said. “There’s a very large part of that in the asylum question. Asylum is much more than a legal question to us. How do we make a human decision about a law?”

The author also received inspiration from a Broadway blockbuster.

“Having done ‘A Chorus Line’ on Broadway with the original company, it had a lot of elements of ‘A Chorus Line,’” he said. “In ‘A Chorus Line,’ the dramatic drive is who’s going to get the job, and in ‘Take Me America,’ it’s who’s going to get asylum.”

The creative team established the setting for “Take Me America” as circa 2009 in order to avoid near-constant rewrites to reflect geopolitical changes.

“It will be thought provoking because of the subject matter and the way the story is being told,” director Jerry Dixon said. “It’s provocative. It doesn’t pull its punches. It’s human. It’s got a balance of real grit and great humanity and humor to it.”

‘Take Me America’ Village Theatre — Francis J. Gaudette Theatre 303 Front St. N. Sept. 15 to Oct. 23 Show times vary $20 to $60 392-2202 or www.villagetheatre.org

Cast, audience shapes musical The musical does not reference the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, although “Take Me America” includes ongoing issues dredged up by the attacks.

“The American conundrum about what’s a good Muslim and what’s a bad Muslim is very much in the show,” Nabel said.

The audience in Issaquah shaped the show in the years before the Mainstage debut.

“Take Me America” earned a spot in the 2009 Festival of New Musicals — a test bed for Mainstage musicals and Broadway. The barebones reading captivated festivalgoers.

“One of the things that’s so great about Village Theatre Originals is that the audience pool is really smart,” Dixon said.

“They’re also very generous with their thoughts and time. They can be as smart as they want but keep it to themselves, and that’s not good.”

The director caught a replay of a discussion after the festival reading and rifled through surveys about the show from audience members.

“These people really know what they want to see and how they want to see it,” he said.

Nabel said, in the end, such collaboration strengthens a show.

Performers present a stripped-down reading of upcoming Mainstage production ‘Take Me America’ at Village Theatre’s 2009 Festival of New Musicals.

“If you go into a production and you think you know everything and you stop asking questions and you stop trying to make it better, I think you cheat yourself and you cheat the idea,” he said.

Nabel and composer Bob Christianson redrafted the script and adjust lyrics as rehearsals unfolded.

“The spine of the show is there; we know what the spine is,” Nabel said. “As far as making it better, we won’t stop.”

The director encouraged the “Take Me America” author and composer to shore up the differences between asylum and immigration to offer audiences more clarity.

“One of my first jobs was to get the authors to take away any ambiguous language or monetary language like, ‘I’m coming to America to get ahead, to make a better living,’” Dixon said. “That’s immigration. That’s different. ‘I’m coming to America because my arms will be hacked off by my government.’ That’s not immigration.”

Dixon needed a hardworking — and, befitting a musical about asylum applicants from around the globe — a multiethnic cast for the “Take Me America” debut.

The cast also includes Village Theatre alumni.

Ekello Harrid Jr. — a standout from the playhouse’s “Show Boat” in 2009 — is Malith, a Dinka from war-torn Sudan.

Aaron Finley returns to Village Theatre after turns as Jesus and Judas in a reimagined “Jesus Christ Superstar” last season to star as a greenhorn agent learning on the job. Dennis Bateman and Leslie Law star as the other asylum agents.

“It was very important for me to select 10 actors who could not only do the work but also who could flesh out the work in the room on a daily basis,” Dixon said.

Issaquah artist picks brains to create zombie cartoons

By David Hayes Issaquah Press reporter

IF YOU GO

For years, Ray Basile thought his jobs as a designer defining in-store branding strategies was an outlet for the creative right side of his brain.

Unfortunately, his brain’s left side eventually took over and he found himself Ray Basile mired in the process of the job and doing far fewer creative things.

“While driving back and forth to work in my PT Cruiser, I’d get this feeling of growing intensity that my work life was devolving into zombies eating my brains,” he said. “I felt like I was always fighting zombies.”

As a result, Basile would turn to side projects, including two blogs, to channel his creativity. His latest endeavor, Zombie

Wagon art — the result of combining his drawings with his observations of mundane life through the eyes of a zombie — goes public Sept. 9 at Caffe Ladro in the Issaquah Highlands. Essentially, his musings are tweaked truisms.

“I take common observations from current, every-day life and tweak them to a zombie’s perspective,” he said.

For example, one of his drawings comes directly from a conversation he had with a prior boss.

“You’re too old to be chasing your dreams,” I was told.

Ray Basile shows an album of his Zombie Wagon postcard observations of real life from the point of view of zombies. toon who feels he’s now addressing one from the zombie nation: “Let me guess.

This is when you try to grab my skull and start eating my brains.”

Basile had cataloged dozens of such observations since arriving from California to Issaquah in 1999 to design a new in-store sound for DSW Shoe Warehouse.

He found additional creative outlets in his blog www.iphonesavior.com, which launched at the same time as Apple released its iPhone to consumers.

“I quickly grew a viewing audience for my blog from zero to 3 million in less than two years,” Basile said, thanks to the popularity of the device.

He also would launch www.bestkisses.com, a kissing photo and loving message website designed to promote the power of love.

But when Basile, 52, found himself unemployed in May, he refused to sit idle as he searched for work.

It was during this downtime that he made Caffe Ladro his homebase of job-search operations and the zombie drawings first took shape. His medium of choice — the 24 box of Crayola Crayons. A staffer was so impressed by his sketches, she recommended he show his work. After some additional convincing by his wife Terri, Basile gave it a shot.

“So, I decided to dive headlong into cartooning with a message, leveraging the rise of zombies into pop culture as a key launching point,” he said.

One of the sticking points of actually showing his latest work, even though he’s been selling computer art in the Issaquah community since 2001, was he realized he wasn’t exactly Picasso or da Vinci. That’s when he hit upon donating 51 percent of proceeds to his favorite charity, “Then it hit me that the work didn’t have to be important.

Rather, it could result in going to an important cause,” he said.

His show will feature 20 of his Kelly Brunell, a third grade teacher at Maple Hills Elementary, and her husband Ken best works, framed and available enjoyed the summer by traveling to Portugal, Spain and France. The Issaquah Press made for purchase. Whether or not the the entire trip until they reached the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Issaquah show is successful, Basile is already looking for venues in Seattle and Ballard to expand his zombie invasion.
