School district adjusts to growing pains

By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com Superintendent Ron Thiele confirmed at the Sept. 14 School Board meeting that Issaquah continues to be one of the fastestgrowing districts in the state.

“We are at an all-time high in enrollment,” Thiele said.

The school district added 450 new full-time students, putting the total above 23,300. The biggest change was about 1,130 total bodies, full- and part-time, mostly coming from kindergarten students who were previously half-day but are now in full-day classes.

The average size of the district’s elementary school is 622 students, while middle schools are averaging 960. The three

Expert: Data suggests PFOS from fire headquarters contaminated city wells

By Lizz Giordano lgiordano@isspress.com After weekly testing of one production well and three monitoring wells through the end of June and into July, the City of Issaquah is still searching for the source of the perfluorooctane sulfonate contamination of the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer.

During the latest round of testing, the chemical known commonly as PFOS was also discovered in soil samples taken from Eastside Fire & Rescue’s headquarters at 175 Newport Way Northwest. The chemical has

available at this point suggests that 175 Newport Way NW (EFR) is a source of the PFOS detected in Gilman Well No. 4, Monitoring Well No. 3, and Monitoring Well No. 5,” according to a Sept. 15 report by Geosyntec.

EFR Deputy Chief Richard Burke said a signature test has not been done to determine if the PFOS found in the soil samples found at EFR is the same found in the groundwater. PFOS is known to cause liver damage and birth defects in lab animals. Research

In the past, we have used parts per billion as our measurement standard. From this point forward, we will report levels using parts per trillion.

City reschedules meeting expected to draw crowd of project opponents The Issaquah Press A Sept. 21 Development Commission meeting which was supposed to include a public hearing on the controversial Issaquah Apartments project was rescheduled last week by the city.

The city sent an email Sept. 15 noting that the original Sept. 21 meeting had been canceled.

The meeting is now scheduled for 7 p.m. on Sept. 28 at the City Council chambers, City Hall South, 135 E. Sunset Way. A larger-than-usual crowd was expected to attend the meeting and speak against the project.

After The Issaquah Press published a story about the development in its Aug. 18 edition, social media and local online message boards lit up with local residents’ outcry. Multiple commenters stressed that as many people as possible should go to the meeting See MEETING, Page 3

Senior center leaders, city officials at loggerheads

By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com The future of the Issaquah Valley Senior Center is in question, according to recent correspondence between the city and the center’s board of directors.

The senior center’s October monthly letter announced that Executive Director Courtney Jaren resigned Aug. 31. A reason

was not given.

“We are determined to continue as long as we are able to operate our Senior Center with all the social and health care services we currently offer,” the board of directors wrote in the newsletter.

Jaren’s resignation was confirmed in a Sept. 2 letter from IVSC Board Vice President Carmen Llewellyn to the city. The letter also did not state a reason.

Multiple calls to Jaren were met with responses of “no comment.”

Left without an official representative for IVSC, Mayor Fred Butler has tried to set up a meeting with center board members as detailed in three letters dated Sept. 1, Sept. 2 and Sept. 9.

In the Sept. 2 letter, Llewellyn refused the city’s offer, stating “since the City refused all funding

to the Center, we have no obligation to meet with your team.”

The City of Issaquah pulled $99,000 in funding to IVSC in February in the wake of allegations two former members were banned for alleged elder abuse.

The persons who were banned have refused to comment further, See CENTER, Page 11

Bond project focuses on calming speeds and increasing safety The stretch of Newport Way Northwest from State Route 900 to Southeast 54th Street would receive a sidewalk, a shared-use path, bike lanes and a center turn lane as part of the transportation bond.

Scott Stoddard sstoddard@ isspress.com

By Lizz Giordano lgiordano@isspress.com More than 500 new housing units are in the pipeline along Newport Way Northwest between Southeast 54th Street and State Route 900, bringing more cars to the once-bucolic road.

Newport Way was originally a rural road built for speed, but now speeds need to be mitigated, said City of Issaquah Transportation Manager Kurt Seeman.

“It is not a very pleasant place to not be in a car,” he said.

If voters approve a $50 million transportation bond in November, the city plans to turn the stretch of Newport into a parkway.

The project includes a center turn lane that would accommodate turning vehicles at some spots and be landscaped at others, bike lanes on both sides and a sidewalk on the south side. Also planned is a sharedused path on the north side that would be part of the Mountains to See NEWPORT, Page 3

Imagine the helplessness you’d feel. The desperation.

Imagine watching helplessly as not just cherished mementos disappear, but also the basics of everyday life: clothes to wear, a chair for sitting, a washcloth and towel for showering.

Kolene Ranzulla Segar isn’t imagining that scenario. She’s living it.

For 16 years, Ranzulla Segar has rented a modest home at the corner of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road and Issaquah-Fall City Road. On Sept. 8, in the darkness of 2 a.m., the house burned from the inside out.

Ranzulla Segar did not have renter’s insurance. As the fire quickly spread, she made sure a downstairs tenant made it out safely.

And then she watched everything she owned become a pile of ashes. She was left with little more than the clothes she was wearing.

“Now I’m homeless,” she said.

“I mean, where do you start?”

Immediately after the fire, Ranzulla Segar received a $300 debit card from the Red Cross for food and lodging. Anyone who has paid for a motel room lately can figure out how long that lasted.

To make matters worse, Ranzulla Segar is between jobs.

Homeless, unemployed and no belongings — can there be a worse trifecta of misfortune?

“It’s hard to look for work when you don’t have an address,” she said, “and it’s hard to get a place when you don’t have an income.”

According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for. And knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help home sellers deal with this issue before their home is listed, a FREE report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

high schools’ average is skewed as Liberty has just 1,200 students while Skyline and Issaquah have more than 2,200 each.

To accommodate the growing student population, Sunny Hills Elementary and Issaquah Middle School opened the school year with new buildings.

The growing pains are most felt at the new megacampus of Issaquah middle and high schools. The middle school building was built in the high school’s old upper parking lot. Neil Lasher, Issaquah High’s security officer, issues student parking passes.

“There are 236 parking spots now. We lost 182 from the middle school site last year. It’s tough,” he said.

With such a large reduction in available student parking spaces, Lasher said the school district emphasized carpooling.

“With as many people as we have here, we try to get the least amount of vehicles we can. So there were about 114 carpool spots given with 252 students in those

With priority given to carpools, the remainder of the parking passes went next to seniors. Lasher said no passes were left to give juniors driving alone.

Overflow parking has become a problem for surrounding neighborhoods, Lasher said. Evans Street has been reconfigured to accommodate about 60 diagonal parking slots.

Problems arose on neighboring streets.

“Now that kids are parking like knuckleheads on Fourth in the neighborhood there, they’ve chopped some of that parking away, too.

Rightfully so,” Lasher said.

“They’re parking in people’s yards, smoking, throwing stuff in their yards, trash.

Blocking mailboxes so residents can’t get mail. Just plain disrespect.”

Because his jurisdiction ends at the school property, Lasher said he can’t enforce incorrect parking in nearby neighborhoods. However, he can take complaints, run the plates in his database and find the student driver to tell them to move.

With the combined adjacent parking lots of the middle and high schools, Lasher said he’s had to assist in flagging traffic to help expedite emptying the lots.

“The first week of school, it was such a mess,” Lasher said. “Things are getting better. Getting this parking lot cleared in about 15 minutes, where the first week or so it was 45-50 minutes.”

Unexpected problems from extra students were experienced inside the new middle school as well. Principal Seth Adams confirmed there were not enough lockers to go around to every student.

“That took us by surprise when they got here. We counted and wow, we don’t have enough,” Adams said.

“So we asked, ‘Who wants to step up and share a locker?’ More than enough stepped up. So we had a lottery of volunteers to solve our problem and made it a win-win situation.”

Otherwise, Adams said the school is plenty big to accommodate all the students new to campus, including those who were moved out of Pacific Cascade Middle School due to boundary changes. With 37 classrooms and the gyms, Adams said Issaquah Middle has 41 total indoor teaching spaces.

“Everyone loves it.

They’re candid about doing little tweaks, sure. But everyone recognizes this is a vast improvement over the previous space,” he said.

Adams added Issaquah Middle School can’t fit too many more as the district’s population continues to grow, but “at the end of the day, it’ll fit 200 more and we could still run a school. I’m pretty happy with the numbers.”

Thiele concurred about going forward accommodating expected growth of 1.5 to 2 percent a year.

“Like I tell folks, I’m not nearly as terrified of the growth as I was before April 26 (when the school bond passed), because we have a plan, and we’re working toward that plan right now,” he said. “I’m optimistic about how we’re going to house our students. And we’re going to get those average numbers down, too.”

and voice their opposition to both the development and the direction of Issaquah’s growth as a whole.

A letter to the editor published in the Sept. 8 edition of the newspaper called on concerned citizens to “flood the meeting.”

The Issaquah Apartments project would be a five-story, 110-unit building at 955 Seventh Ave. NW, one block south of the 344-unit Atlas apartments complex.

Critics say the development would overwhelm the neighborhood with traffic that current surface streets are incapable of handling.

Newport 1

Sound Greenway path.

The city is also planning to add safety improvements and traffic-controlling features to the road, but exactly what those will be or at what intersections is dependent on future development along the road.

The developer of the Gateway Apartments plans to install a roundabout at Northwest Pacific Elm Drive.

Currently, the road has a sidewalk on the north side of the street, bike lanes on either side and no center turn lane.

The project, one of four in the $50 million transportation bond on the Nov. 8 ballot, is estimated to cost $7 million.

Last September, after a 4-year-old boy was killed crossing Newport Way and Northwest Oakcrest with his mother in June, the City Council voted to reduce the speed limit along the road to 30 mph from 40 mph.

Citing the dangerous blind curves for pedestrians and bikers, some residents wanted more done, such as adding turn lanes and stop signs at intersections.

Longtime Newport Way safety advocate Mary Lynch wants the project but doesn’t plan on voting to approve the bond because she doesn’t think there was enough public input about the design.

“It’s been promised. We need it.” Lynch said about the project. “It’s our only way into the city.”

Lynch said even with the reduced speed limits, she hasn’t seen any decrease in speeds from passing cars.

But she doesn’t want to wait another 25 years to get a safe road.

According to Deputy City Administrator Emily Moon, if the transportation bond passes, the Providence Point intersection signalization project is first on the list to begin, followed by the Newport project from Maple to Sunset.

No decision has been made to what project would be third or fourth in line, and Lynch is afraid Newport Way between 54th and SR 900 will be last.

She also said the city is not looking at the entire corridor when designing the project.

At least one neighborhood, frustrated its longawaited safety project didn’t even make the bond’s project list, feels forgotten.

Tiffany Endres said South Cove, located on the south end of Lake Sammamish, was promised sidewalks back when it was annexed in 2006. The neighborhood continues to wait.

A grassroots campaign against the transportation bond launched a website last week encouraging residents to vote no in November.

According to the site, notrafficbond.com, “This bond doesn’t offer tangible traffic flow relief, which along with growth, were the top two issues citizens identified in the city’s 2015 survey.”

Cory Christensen, a member of the “con” committee for the bond, announced the launch of the website. Christensen said Bryan Weinstein, another member of the “con” committee, was also part of the group that launched the site.

The site is sponsored by a group called “Eyes on Issaquah,” which is registered with the state Public Disclosure Commission.

According to state documents, they have raised more than $600.

“We are not against them finishing and addressing traffic problems,” Christensen said, “We just don’t agree with the way they are doing it.”

Christensen said the public process is broken, and he wants the city to be more transparent when making decisions.

Barak Rosenbloom, the spokesperson for the “pro” committee for the bond, agreed with many points the Eyes on Issaquah group made on its site. He said many of these projects should already have been built.

“But the reality is they weren’t, they need to be done and this is how we get them done,” Rosenbloom said about the transportation bond.

He said there is no Plan B if the bond does not pass, because a bond is the only way these projects will get funded and built. The money is not in the city’s regular operating budget.

“This bond is about our streets,” Rosenbloom said. “Safe streets for our community.”

Rosenbloom and Keith Watts, also a member of the “pro” committee, are part of a recently launched group named OneIssaquah. Rosenbloom described the organization as a nonprofit advocacy group. It has a website at oneissaquah.org.

The group has registered with the state Public Disclosure Commission and according to state documents no money has been raised.

Rosenbloom said the group has received in-kind contributions.

— Lizz Giordano Unlike the bond’s Providence Point signalization project, also promised since annexation to area residents, that is part of the bond’s project list.

A resident of the neighborhood since 1980, Endres said the City Council is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to traffic.

She said many of her neighbors don’t support the transportation bond because it doesn’t benefit South Cove residents.

Currently, bikers on Lake Sammamish Parkway, the main road that connects South Cove to the rest of the city, share the car lane or ride in the shoulder. Dedicated bikes lanes do exist on some parts of the road.

No sidewalks exist on either side of the road and in some places only a waist high concrete barrier with a chain

link fence separates pedestrians from Interstate 90.

“When we were annexed to Issaquah, part of the deal is they were going to put in sidewalks,” said Joanna Buehler, a South Cove resident since 1979. “Now they are asking us to cough up all this money.”

She said the Newport project is to accommodate the 400 new units coming to Gateway Apartments along the road.

“The city is asking current taxpayers to foot the bill for all this new development,” Buehler said.

“Yes, the work needs to be done, but we have been taxed and taxed, and yet our needs keep being pushed to the back burner,” Endres said. “While the developers are benefiting from the infrastructure that we (residents) have are already paid for.”

GUEST COLUMN

We can do better than transportation bond and ST3

By Joshua Schaer

T

his November, two ballot measures will seek your approval to raise taxes for local roads and regional light rail. As the former chair of the Issaquah Council Infrastructure Committee, I encourage you to vote “no” on both, and send a message that we need a stronger plan.

The city recommends work on Newport from Maple to Sunset ($26 million), Sunset Way ($10.5 million), Newport west of 900 ($7 million) and the Providence Point intersection ($5.8 milion).

While safety and non-motorized considerations are important, this is not the best combination of roads needing your tax dollars for immediate attention.

What about fixing the 900 gridlock stretching from Gilman

to Costco? Or the “Target T-bone” intersection? Or the mess exiting at Front Street?

Notably, the survey presented to the city’s task force showed Joshua Schaer support for a new I-90 crossing at 75 percent, improving Target/Trader Joe’s access (just $5 million) at 72 percent, and an alternative link between Gilman and Front at 70 percent. Yet the package contains none of those.

During 2014-15, the council prioritized projects such as Northwest Sammamish Road, intersections near Rainier and Gilman, a freeway overcrossing, and Issaquah-Pine Lake Road. I’ll spare you the details, but each ranked better than what the city

now wants you to fund. By contrast, Maple to Sunset was 17th, Newport west of 900 was 28th, and Providence Point was 50th, all scheduled beyond 2021, so dollars weren’t pursued. Our priorities have radically changed in a short time! And when are the projects on the ballot supposed to improve traffic anyway? Sunset is labeled as just a “conceptual study.”

Of course, we can’t assume the current local package might reduce congestion at all with an Issaquah “active projects” list 20 pages long. Interestingly, the recommendations are near major developments that will make commutes worse: new housing along 43rd, apartments on Sunset, plus “Gateway” off Newport (400 residences) and likely more coming to that same area. According to the city’s analysis, a business license fee could have raised $21 million

alone, without voter approval.

Instead, you are being asked to suffer the cost of rapid growth.

Any help from the ballot measure would be short-lived.

Further, the $50 million bond charges homeowners approximately $165/year over 25 years on a $500,000 property. By adding Sound Transit’s request to also increase your property tax, plus raise the sales tax and car tab price, you have a huge household expense with a minimal return.

Issaquah won’t see light rail until 2041 (with a trip across I-90 requiring a transfer in Bellevue), while Sammamish receives nothing. It’s like getting to watch the region eat dinner for 25 years — plus pay their bill — and only then might we have a meal, too.

I like light rail, but the Eastside shouldn’t be forced to keep subsidizing Seattle’s transit. Sub-areas

covering their own portion of system improvements would make more sense. Use your Sound Transit vote to show that our communities were denied prompt service when other rail segments got moved up in time — but not the one to Issaquah.

We know traffic is the top concern among residents. However, voting “no” doesn’t mean supporting the status quo, nor does it mean rejecting every proposed project as unworthy. Let’s insist on modifications to deliver action on the right package in the right amount of time. Take a stand against the false ideas that “we may not get another chance” and “this is the best we can do.” We can do better.

Joshua Schaer served on the Issaquah City Council from 20082015.

OFF THE PRESS

TO THE EDITOR Growth

Now that we’ve hit brakes on development, let’s get it right

Thanks to the City Council for approving the six-month moratorium on new development. The council’s concerns are focused on the failures of developers to meet the affordable housing and mixed-use goals described in the Central Issaquah Plan. But disconnects with the CIP in two other key areas are provoking the most outrage: transportation and design.

We know that new developments are typically assessed transportation impact fees to offset the effects of new drivers. These mitigations, if they happen at all, are realized long after development is complete.

Issaquah’s transportation options can’t adequately support the traffic volumes we have now, much less absorb the stresses from new development. Let’s maintain the moratorium until a realistic transportation plan is approved that addresses volumes before they become gridlock.

We have design standards for Central Issaquah that are written to preserve the city’s character, but is it possible to imagine an example more antithetical to the character of Issaquah than the monstrosity on Gilman? Let’s maintain the moratorium until we have an architectural review board to evaluate all new development proposals against the CIP and the design standards.

The Puget Sound Regional Council’s designation of Central Issaquah’s Urban Core as a “Regional Growth Center” makes us eligible to apply for federal, state and regional grants. The tradeoff requires us to meet growth targets for urban density.

If we can’t successfully address the problems with affordable housing, transportation and ugliness, we should also use the space of the moratorium to reevaluate this deal.

The CIP includes estimates of 6,670 new living units in the city between 2015 and 2035.

In other words, the three new developments recently described in The Issaquah Press represent fewer than 10 percent of the new residences we can expect in Central Issaquah over the next 19 years. Let’s drop back and get this right before the damage to the Issaquah we know and love is irreparable.

digressing here, back to my area.

I am very saddened this is taking place! I have lived here on Dogwood Street for almost 20 years and have enjoyed this green space. I have witnessed the changes to where I say to myself, “OK, OK,” but now it’s time to speak!

My big question to all: Is this really necessary, or — forgive me for saying — could it be the mindset that we have all this money, so let’s use it. Within I’d say 50 yards or less, there is parking at the school facility and adjacent ballfields, not to mention more across the creek in the other park area, which will both be connected by a bridge.

Please, is there not enough blacktop? Also, isn’t there this socalled push to encourage people out of thier cars? I treasure this area of green and tranquility — what it is, what it used to be and the moments spent with or without the dog.

I implore you, plead with you, to reconsider this decision. Look at it objectively and ask: Is it really necessary?

I may be up to gathering signatures just because I feel this is so unnecessary. And I imagine many feel the same way.

Parking lot at Cybil-Madeline Green isn’t really necessary To fellow citizens and whom it may concern, this in regards to Confluence Park, specifically the Cybil-Madeline Green area.

The word “green” can be considered ironic, just for my reason of contact. Yes, I know it’s late in the process. I just learned of the plans a couple of weeks ago through a notice in the mail for a parking lot in the mentioned area.

I was distraught then, but only now more so when I’m walking my dog. I notice the cedar railing is gone, the doggie bag station is gone, and then it really hits me!

Blacktop parking lot going up, and who knows what else with that.

Yes, I’m concerned! I walk around the city seeing countless lots, various sizes, many small, being filled, crammed in with mega-housing units. What’s wrong with single-family housing units, by the way? But I may be

this measure was premature but did not want to go against others who want to push this forward.

Why? Don’t let them try to sneak this one by us during this the very important presidential election.

I encourage you to look at the situation carefully, attend council meetings and let your voices be heard.

I for one will vote no in November on this misguided traffic improvement bond issue as it is currently written.

The nightmare on Northwest Juniper will be frightful sight Coming soon ... you won’t be able to avoid this one ... all will be affected ... buckle up and be prepared to wait ... this can’t be missed ... you won’t be able to escape the Nightmare on Northwest Juniper ... it’s scary.

The upcoming traffic bond issue misses this important road, where there are no bike lanes, not enough crosswalks and problems at both ends in regards to exiting to Newport Way and Gilman Boulevard.

Easy affordable solutions have been presented and ignored!

Vote no in November against the huge $50 million bond measure which excludes too many important roads.

The upcoming Transportation Improvement Projects would be more democratic if it were presented to the voters a la carte.

Let us decide which projects are important.

The City Council wants to bundle these projects together. Don’t let them do this to us. Speak out.

If you don’t like Concerts on the Green, then stay home I was shocked, appalled and dismayed to read the critique of the music at the final Concert on the Green and the “lackey” who is responsible for booking the bands. You complained that white bands played music by black composers. Are you also saying that black bands cannot play music composed by white people? I don’t get it. Everyone loved the Afrodisaics and the dance area was filled from the first song to the last. Everyone else had a wonderful time. I love the Concerts on the Green series; they are the highlight of my summer in Issaquah. Music is music, just like love is love. Don’t make a means test out of a beautiful thing.

By the way, that “lackey” is David Harris who works very hard to bring us the best quality music. I think he does an excellent job for our community and if you can’t appreciate his music choices, then please stay home.

Congratulations, Robin Kelley

ith the next Salmon Days Festival so near I can smell the Kiwanis salmon barbecue smoke, I’d just like to add my two cents to the many expressions of congratulations going to Robin Kelley as she trades in her stewardship of the annual weekend of wonderment for the reins of Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery as its executive director.

Greg Hi Robin!

Farrar My first memory of Press photographer you is frozen in a black-and-white 1997 photograph of you at Boehm’s Candies Chocolate Carnival wearing an animal balloon twisted into the shape of a fish on your head that your co-worker Jolene Jang made. Even then your infectious love of Salmon Days started to rub off on me!

Every year during festival weekend the one place I was most likely to find you has been at the Field of Fun jut soaking up the happiness of youngsters having so many tons of fun riding ponies or playing field games. You seeing kids full of joy is I think what has given you the biggest reward for all the long months of hard work.

And even though it has been a LOT of hard work, I just love you for how happy you are, how happy you make other people feel and how you have this ability to make hard work for everyone involved into a rewarding and uplifting accomplishment.

With all the help at your side you’ve made Salmon Days a better-coordinated, more entertaining and more family-friendly event each and every October, for example with the shuttle buses and the carnival rides.

And it has always been a family affair for you, your husband Oscar, your son and your late

Opportunities abound to see migrating salmon

By Christina Corrales-Toy ccorrales-toy@isspress.com

The Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery’s Aug. 29 announcement was so grand, it required all caps.

“IT’S OFFICIAL: THE FIRST

FISH WAS SEEN!” the Facebook post read, welcoming the start of what is known as Salmon SEEson in King County.

The season’s first chinook was spotted at 1:17 p.m. Aug. 28 in Issaquah Creek, according to FISH. It represented the beginning

of what will become fish-filled waters at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery in the coming months.

Salmon are returning to streams and rivers around Puget Sound.

Watch for these natural beauties at the viewing sites around the watersheds as they make their

seasonal journey and learn more at kingcounty.gov/salmon.

GOOD TIMES FOR THE SOUL

Village Theatre’s latest musical will get your blood pumping

By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com

Imagine if Garth Brooks gathered some of those friends from low places and starred in a variety show for the stage. That’s the closest description of the experience you’ll get watching Village Theatre’s latest musical extravaganza, “Pump Boys and Dinettes.”

There is almost no plot in this musical review reminiscent of 1970s and ’80s variety shows starring Sonny and Cher or Donny and Marie Osmond. It’s just a bunch of friends singing about life in the small town of Route 57 — a town so small it was named after the nearest highway.

But fear not, there is a truck-

load of fun to be had here where audience participation is encouraged.

You know you’re in for a different experience when, to reinforce the diner setting, the scent of bacon is actually pumped throughout the theater before the proceedings begin.

And whereas executive producer Robb Hunt usually welcomes the audience and thanks the show’s sponsors, Joshua Carter took on those duties, while in character as Jim, the head pump boy.

It’s Village Theatre veteran Carter (“Trails,” “Fiddler on the Roof”) who resembles Garth Brooks and has gathered some very talented friends who make up the band. There’s L.M. on piano, played by award-winning actor Levi Kreis, easily slipping into a variation of the Jerry Lee Lewis role that won him a Tony in “Million Dollar Quartet.”

IF YOU GO Village Theatre presents ‘Pump Boys and Dinettes’ Francis J. Gaudette Theatre 303 Front St. N. Tickets are $35-$70 392-2202 or bit.ly/2c0OIZ0 Channeling her best inner Tanya Tucker is Sylvie Davidson, making her Village Theatre debut as Prudie Cupp. Also making her debut for local audiences is Sara Porkalob, whose sassiness in the role of Rhetta Cupp is reminiscent of Gretchen Wilson, famous for “Redneck Woman.” Then there’s Michael Feldman, last seen in Village Theatre’s “Xanadu!” looking like a member of One Direction who wandered over from the set of “Grease.”

Filling out the band are Olivia

D. Hamilton as Eddie on bass, and James “Rif” Reif on drums.

Both, Jim explains, are contractually obligated not to speak.

And that’s the production in a nutshell. The music does most of the storytelling, with the barest minimum of dialogue in between sets. For example, the boys remember that time they went fishing, then sing the song “Catfish,” or the girls brag about their pies at the diner, then sing the song “Serve Yourself.”

This is because the songs were written by an actual band that had no intention of taking their act to Broadway. But in the early ’80s, that’s where “Pump Boys and Dinettes” ended up, with a surprise hit production that was even nominated for a Tony award.

The songs, updated for the new millennium by music director R.J. Tancioco, are country-inspired with a heavy dose of blues thrown

in for good measure. You’ll recognize tributes to many of Nashville’s greatest hits over the years.

Director Brandon Ivie has cast some multi-talented actors who must play double duty as musicians on a variety of their own instruments. Everyone picks up a guitar at one point or another, Kreis can pound the piano keys like no other, Feldman wails on the harmonica like it is its own character and you’ll be amazed when Hamilton strums the standup bass, upside down, laying on her back.

Kudos goes to scenic designer Andrea Bryn Bush for the eyepopping visuals that fill every inch of the set of the truck stop adjacent the diner.

This will be the quickest two hours of entertainment you’ll ever enjoy at the Village Theatre.

And be sure to keep your ticket stub. You just might end up a part of the show.

Lake Sammamish and Lake Washington watershed but now spawn in only a few streams that feed into Lake Sammamish.

Unlike their larger relative the sockeye salmon, kokanee do not go out to the ocean but spend their entire lifecycle in fresh water.

They migrate from streams as inch-long fry and spend three to four years in Lake Sammamish before returning to spawn in the late fall and early winter in their natal streams.

Ebright Creek is located along the East Lake Sammamish Trail in Sammamish.

Lewis Creek is at 185th Place Southeast in Issaquah.

The best time to see the kokanee is early November through late January. Call 206-477-4746 before you go to make sure the kokanee are visible.

PFOS from page

on its effects on humans is still evolving.

A report on the latest developments concerning PFOS contamination of the aquifer was to be presented at the City Council’s Sept. 19 meeting. An agenda bill that would authorize the spending of $100,000 to evaluate long-term water treatment options for the city’s water was to be considered by councilmembers during the meeting.

“Groundwater investigations since April have confirmed that PFCs will persist in the groundwater over a long period of time and will need to be addressed as part of a long-term treatment strategy,” the agenda bill said.

There is still no timeframe as to when PFOS was first introduced to the aquifer. It’s possible it was present for decades, because Issaquah did not begin testing for the chemical until 2013. Gilman Well No. 4 was drilled in 1987, and when it was first tested for PFOS three years ago, it showed a detection level of 600 parts per trillion.

In November 2015, Issaquah’s tap water contained PFOS at a level of 105 parts per trillion. That result exceeds the EPA’s latest guideline for the chemical.

According to Erika Schreder, a staff scientist with the Washington Toxics Coalition, perfluorinated compounds are very long-lasting chemicals that build up in our bodies — and are present in nearly all Americans.

“With their extremely high persistence and association with health problems including cancer, reduced birth weight, and harm to the immune system, we need policies and actions that will reduce exposure to these compounds,” she said.

Gilman Well No. 5 was tested three times in July.

The highest level of PFOS found was 32 parts per trillion in samples taken July 6 and 13.

The detection is below what the Environmental Protection Agency considers unsafe. In May, the EPA set a new, more stringent advisory level of 70 parts per trillion for PFOS and perfluorooctanoic acid combined.

Water from Gilman Well No. 4 is run through a treatment system and is tested every two weeks. There has been no detections of PFCs since the treatment system, which the city is leasing as

a short-term solution, was brought online.

Water from Gilman Well No. 5 is not treated, but it is blended with water from Gilman Well No. 4 before it enters the distribution system, according to Assistant to the City Administrator Autumn Monahan.

Three monitoring wells were tested five times.

Monitoring Wells No. 3 and No. 5 consistently showed the presence of PFOS at levels well above the EPA guideline.

During a July 28 test, Monitoring Well No. 5 was found to contain 510 parts per trillion of PFOS — more than seven times the EPA’s advisory level. Samples taken the same day from Monitoring Well No. 3 showed a PFOS level of 360 parts per trillion.

Monahan said the city’s next step is to work closely with Eastside Fire & Rescue on developing a plan moving forward to investigate potential sources of these PFCs. PFOS is frequently associated with firefighting foam, specifically the Class B “aqueous film forming foam” first developed by 3M and U.S. Navy in the 1960s.

Burke told The Issaquah Press that firefighting foam containing PFOS has been the standard in the industry until 2000. 3M stopped all production of its Class B firefighting foam in 2002.

Burke said over the years training exercises occurred on the site where the soil samples were taken.

Water from Sammamish Plateau’s Well No. 8 was found to contain 29 parts per trillion of PFOS in a July test. The district’s Well No. 7 showed the presence of PFOS at 15 parts per trillion in July. These results are all below EPA advisory limits.

Sammamish Plateau Water continues testing for PFOS. On Aug. 30, samples were taken from Sammamish Plateau Water’s Well No. 7 and Well No. 8. The district also tested water from the regional pipeline before it enters the Sammamish Plateau Water’s system and two samples were taken from the North Fork of the Issaquah Creek near its wells.

Consultants have been hired to study groundwater movement and a national expert on PFOS will advise the district.

There are no national primary drinking water regulations in place for PFOS.

ISSAQUAH 40, INGLEMOOR 7

RISING TO THE OCCASION Eagles roll in second half, nail down first win FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

By Neil Pierson npierson@isspress.com Issaquah led by a field goal at halftime but scored 30 unanswered points in the second half to defeat visiting Inglemoor, 40-7, in Class 4A KingCo Conference football action on Sept. 16.

Issac Chai hit a 24-yard field goal and quarterback Payton Person found Joe Nelson for a 7-yard touchdown pass for Issaquah’s first-half points.

Leading 10-7 at the break, the Eagles (1-2 overall) came out firing as their defense quickly forced a punt and Person ran in from 1 yard to give them a twoscore advantage.

Drew Feldman’s 3-yard TD run and Corey Chaplin’s 6-yard TD catch made it 30-7 after three quarters. Griffin Morimoto intercepted a pass and returned it 40 yards, setting up Person’s fourth score of the night, a 2-yard toss to Mo Osman for the Eagles’ final trip to the end zone.

Issaquah travels to Snoqualmie to take on the Mount Si Wildcats at 7 p.m. Friday.

Holden Kooiker kicked a 26yard field goal to put the Patriots ahead 12-0 in the third quarter, but Roosevelt answered as Dylan Jacobi caught a 40-yard TD pass from Will Heckman.

Liberty’s defense, which held the Roughriders to four first down and 131 yards of total offense, shut the door from there

Skyline senior running back Isaiah Shim bursts through the hole he finds in the Eastlake defense for six yards and the Spartans’ first touchdown of the game Sept. 16 in their 17-14 win.

Skyline wins turnover battle, holds off Eastlake at the Wolves’ 29-yard line. On the first play of the SKYLINE 17 second quarter, Riley Gill EASTLAKE 14 broke through the middle on fourth down and inches,

Late in the first period, Bartel indicated the quarterback Ben Howard Wolves should’ve won based dropped a shotgun snap on superior athleticism in and Skyline fell on the ball some positions.

“There was no Rashaad Boddie out there. There was no Danny Sinatro out there,” he said, referring to two of Skyline’s offensive stars in 2015.

“We went at the perimeter and we had a ton of success out there … Our receivers against their DBs, I’d take us 100 times out of 100.”

Skyline’s defensive front – led by Henry Bainivalu, Matt Oss and Matthew Cindric – shut down Eastlake’s rushing game, so the Wolves went to the air to move the ball.

Their first touchdown, a 17-yard pass to Parker Lester in the left corner of the end zone, brought them within 7-6 after a failed two-point conversion midway through the first period.

Trailing by eight in the third, Eastlake embarked upon an 11-play, 74-yard drive. Howard was 5 of 6 passing for 55 yards and found Pladson on fourth

down for a 5-yard TD. A two-point pass to Cody Cox tied the score at 14.

Skyline (2-1) responded with the winning points on its next series. Senior running back Isaiah Shim, who carried 23 times for 116 yards and a TD, broke off a 40-yard run that set up Kevin McGrane’s 33-yard field goal.

The Spartans punted for the final time with about three minutes left and the Wolves got the ball at their own 7. But Cox snared a long pass and turned it into a 62-yard gain.

With the ball in the red zone, the Spartans’ defense hunkered down and forced

three incompletions for a turnover on downs. The offense collected one first down to kill the rest of the clock.

“I saw a lot of heart out of this defense,” Shim said.

“They stepped up big when the offense was kind of getting stagnant.

“It’s all about staying disciplined on all aspects of the ball – offense, defense, special teams. It was a real ugly win, but happy we got it.”

While Skyline stopped Eastlake’s running game, the Wolves did the same to the Spartans’ historically potent passing attack. Quarterbacks Drew Kistner and Joe Green, who continue

to share time, didn’t have many big plays.

“The opportunity to score on our first drives have kind of saved us, because second half, there’s not much we could do offensively,” Taylor said. “For whatever reason, we’re just having a tough time. But on the other hand, Eastlake’s making it hard for us, too. They had a fantastic game.”

Gesturing to the scoreboard afterward, Bartel wasn’t claiming any moral victories.

“What’s upsetting is, your heart breaks for the kids because of how hard they played,” he said, “and they deserved to win the game.”

vertible in the 2008 Grande Parade as citizens of the year. I also remember your surprise when Oscar bought an official piece of Salmon Days art for your wedding anniversary. What kind of special man does that?

We are all just blessed to no end that you have guided Issaquah’s celebration for all this time, and now we’re doubly blessed that — because obviously you have Issaquah and salmon in your blood — you’re not going very far upstream, so to speak.

In the same 20 years you’ve been with the festival office, the state salmon hatchery in town has also gone through an amazing transformation with a succession of respected F.I.S.H. directors serving the local community. But I’m thinking, we haven’t seen anything yet! I’m just really excited as are we all to see what you will be able to accomplish with the same energy that Salmon Days has prospered from.

If there’s one thing Salmon Days and the hatchery are trying to do in concert, it’s to bring environmental awareness to people’s minds. We’re living in times where the planet’s health more than ever needs to be guarded, preserved and restored. We all need to learn how we can use our power on an individual level to keep those salmon coming home.

Robin, there’s no one I can think of that can do that the way you can. Best wishes at your new digs with Finley and Gillda!
