New development may be headed to Gilman

Issaquah Press group names new general manager Washington state, and I’m really excited to go to work for a well-respected, family-owned company. The Issaquah Press is a key part of the Eastside community — and I’m looking forward to making improvements to strengthen the paper and websites.” Horton said. “Charles brings a wonderful track record of community publishing and previous Northwest market experience, making him the ideal candidate to lead the Issaquah Press group,” said Sharon Prill, president and group publisher for the Seattle Times Affiliate News Group. Getting into newspapers “really was an accident,” Horton said. Originally, he wanted to be a stage actor. “I had no dreams of being on TV,” he added. “I just love the interaction with the audience. That was my dream.” See HORTON, Page 5

Eastside Fire & Rescue launches search for new chief By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Eastside Fire & Rescue began advertising Sept. 21 for a replacement for Fire Chief Lee Soptich who will step down at the end of January after roughly 10 years Lee Soptich on the job. The EFR board of directors hired a California consultant company, The Mercer Group Inc., to help with the search, said Ingrid Anderson-Boyle, EFR human resources manager. According to a timetable provided by Anderson-Boyle, Mercer will advertise the position and

accept résumés until Oct. 19. The company plans to come up with about six to eight semifinalists, said Clark Wuzberger, a project manager for The Mercer Group. Mercer eventually will whittle down the candidate pool further and present the finalists to the EFR board for interviewing and follow-up the week of Nov. 30. The board hopes to name the new chief by the end of November, Wuzberger said. The new chief will earn $154,00 to $180,000 annually. Wuzberger said Mercer has begun advertising the position in trade publications, and on websites visited by safety professionals or public employees. After See EFR, Page 5

Even as city officials consider how to jumpstart the long-discussed Central Issaquah Plan, one potential anchor project already may be in the works. While he offered very few details, Issaquah Economic Development Director Keith Niven told City Council members Sept. 21 he met recently with officials of the U.S. Postal Service about a possible development on land near the post office on Gilman Boulevard, in the area of Fourth Avenue Northwest. The project would consist of one floor of some sort of commercial space, with three floors of apartments above. Niven mentioned that configuration might mean construction of a nearby parking garage. Overall, he believes the project might well be one city officials want to take a look at if the developer’s concept moves forward. Including Fourth and Gil-

man, the city’s Economic Vitality Commission recommended four locations as potential spots for anchor developments in the Central Issaquah Plan area. The commission tabbed Fourth and Gilman as it is one of the largest undeveloped areas in the Central Issaquah zone. Niven was before the council for approval of the four potential anchor project locations, stating “catalyst, demonstration project” might be a more appropriate term. The other three targeted locations are Gilman and Front Street, CenturyLink Yard and a proposed Interstate 90 and 12th Avenue Northwest crossing. The latter exists only on paper, but in past discussions of the Central Issaquah Plan, Niven said officials hope for a highway crossover at 12th Avenue or a nearby street. CenturyLink Yard covers four acres east of the Sound Transit garage and north of Tibbetts Valley Park. Communication giant CenturyLink owns the property and operates a field office there.

City Council Position 4 Race heats up Bill Ramos touts experience in public, private sectors

Tim Flood’s traffic plan is front and center of campaign

DECISION

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com

Hoping to replace incumbent Issaquah City Councilman Joshua Schaer, who chose not to run for re-election to his Position 4 seat, resident Bill Ramos is running in his first public election. It’s actually his second try for the council. Ramos threw his hat in the ring for an appointment to the council in 2014. He was one of several people vying for the council seat vacated when Fred Butler was elected mayor. Ramos said he doesn’t like to Bill Ramos sound as if he is bragging, but he also doesn’t shy away from pointing out that he has spent about 10 years around City Hall, serving on the Economic Vitality and Planning commissions. He currently chairs the Issaquah Human Services Commission. Ramos is a self-employed transportation consultant, running his own firm The Common Good Inc., something else he has touted on the campaign trail. The city is working on a $308 million traffic concurrency plan, touted as keeping pace with development in the city. A mix of grants and developer impact fees would fund some of the city’s concurrency plan, but Issaquah would

Tim Flood admits his opponent is better known and has been able to grab some high-profile endorsements in the race for the Issaquah City Council Position 4 seat. But in the August primary, Flood noted, Ramos was not able to earn 50 percent of the vote. Besides noting his experience on three city commissions, Ramos also talks about his work as a private transportation consultant. Flood hardly seems intimidated, putting out his own original traffic Tim Flood plan, “Address the Mess.” The transportation package includes 36 projects targeted, Flood said, at the city’s trouble spots. The projects included are predominately from the Issaquah Transportation Improvement Plan and include funding for work on Front Street, state Route 900, Newport Way and several other major streets. Flood prices his plan at $153 million. The city’s transportation concurrency traffic plan tops out at $308 million. Developed by city staff and the current City Council, the concurrency plan is meant to ensure Issaquah’s infrastructure keeps pace with private and residential development. Flood said the city needs to take on current traffic problems, includ-

City Council sharply cuts duties of cable TV commission By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Following the advice of Issaquah Cable TV Commission members, the Issaquah City Council voted 6-1 on Sept. 21 to disband the commission. Going forward, the group will convene only on an as-needed basis. In a two-page report to the council and city administration, the cable commission said increased competition for local cable companies along with various technological advances made the group superfluous. Councilman Joshua Schaer cast the lone vote against largely shelving the commission, favoring reforming it into a technology

commission. The council’s Infrastructure Committee, headed by Schaer, voted 2-1 to recommend to the full council to gather the commission only as needed. Schaer cast the dissenting committee vote as well. In its report to the council, the cable commission, or CTC, noted city officials formed the group in 1980 to negotiate and regulate cable TV franchises within Issaquah. In 1991, the city launched its own local government access channel and asked the commission to take over running that channel. However, the report states that in the past several decades, federal regulations, technology and city staffing changed the CTC’s

duties and authority. The CTC report called the federal 1996 Telecommunications Act the first major overhaul of communication regulations in 62 years. The legislation created significant changes in local regulatory authority and in turn Issaquah overhauled its cable ordinances. According to the CTC, the landscape for cable continues to change. Information and television programing now comes from a variety of sources besides traditional cable systems. The CTC still handles complaints from residents regarding cable service passed along by city staff. If the issue is not resolved, the CTC contacts the cable company directly. In the past, the CTC said, if a

customer was fed up with cable, he or she had no real options other than to discontinue TV service. Consumers now can turn to satellite TV or the Internet; once again, the CTC’s role diminished as a result. As for the city’s government access channel, ICTV, the city hired a full-time cable operator to run the channel in 2002. ICTV now works directly with city staff members instead of the CTC. Cable commissioners offered the council three options going forward: fully eliminating the commission; reducing it to an asneeded group; or changing it to a technology commission. Schaer was not alone, but he probably was the biggest proponent of the latter option. He questioned why

the city wouldn’t want to have a specialized commission to help deal with emerging technology, technology that could help with everything from transportation questions to the city’s comprehensive plan. “I don’t disagree with that at all in principle,” Council President Paul Winterstein said. But he added the proper course for the council to follow was to accept the recommendation of the Infrastructure Committee for now, and then revisit the idea of a technology commission at a later date. Councilman Tola Marts expressed hope that officials actually return to the concept of a technology commission and don’t simply let the idea fade away.

Council sets aside People reduced water use by 10 percent; officials ask for continued practice nearly $1 million for affordable housing By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com While council members have admitted the money won’t do much by itself, on Sept. 21, the City Council approved setting aside $965,000 for affordable housing projects in Issaquah. Actually, the council returned the money to the cause of affordable housing after an effort to create a human services campus in the city ended in August. That effort started in 2006; the council approved moving $1 million in affordable housing funds to support the campus effort in 2008. Saying they simply had exhausted every feasible possibility, officials of the Redmond-based Together Center called a halt to the effort to build a combined social services center in Issaquah. Center officials said they simply could not find affordable property and called a halt to the search. At the Sept. 21 meeting, various council members expressed disappointment the plan did not come to fruition. Councilman Joshua Schaer expressed a hope the money set aside for the

center eventually would be put to some other significant use. Minus $35,000 spent on a city-approved feasibility study, the money earmarked for the Together Center became available again. On Sept. 10, the council’s Safety and Services Committee voted to put the money back into a fund supporting affordable housing. At the committee meeting, city Sustainability Director David Fujimoto said there was no immediate plan for the money. While the Together Center seems to be out of the picture, a human service campus might still be a long-shot possibility. At the recent committee meeting, Cori Walters, head of the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank, said she and others have been studying just such a possibility, including setting up a virtual center online. On Sept. 21, council members expressed disappointment the Together Center effort fell flat. Councilman Tola Marts, Safety and Services Committee chairman, expressed hope officials would be willing to pitch in if a plan comes together in the future.

Cascade Water Alliance commended its members and residents for contributing to the region’s collective reduction of its water use by 10 percent in the past two weeks, hitting the goal set by Everett, Seattle and Tacoma. The regional water suppliers ask customers to continue their efforts to reduce water use to stretch water supplies until the rainy season. Updates on use will be issued every other week. Cascade and its members — Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Redmond, Tukwila, and the Sammamish Plateau and Skyway water and sewer districts — get their drinking water from the Seattle water supply. Historic low river levels, combined with recordsetting hot and dry weather

have significantly increased the demand for water. “Since the announcement two weeks ago, there has been no rain and the weather continues to be very warm,” Chuck Clarke, Cascade CEO, said in a news release. “These water-use reductions — and continued curtailment of water use — will help the region further maximize its water supply for people and fish.” The voluntary reduction target is met when actual water use is at least 10 percent less than what was anticipated without voluntary curtailments. The amount of water supplied since requesting voluntary curtailments is compared to the 2015 seasonal projection of water supply needs for the same period. These projections

assume no water use reductions and continued warm, dry conditions such as we have experienced this year. “We thank residents and businesses for cutting their water use by at least 10 percent, and ask that they continue to curtail their use of water,” Clarke said. Cascade recommends the following: 4Let the lawn go dormant 4Limit plant watering to twice a week 4Water plants before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. 4Take shorter showers 4Turn off the water when brushing your teeth 4Wash only full loads in your dishwasher and washing machine. 4Fix leaking faucets and toilets

4Take your car to a commercial car wash that recycles water 4Turn off all non-recirculating water features 4Postpone new plantings until fall. “This is the time for all neighbors, businesses and communities to continue these important actions to save water for people and fish as we go into the end of summer and early fall,” Clarke said. “Residents should contact their respective utility for specific information in your community.” Learn more about Cascade’s water efficiency programs, tips and free water-saving items at www.cascadewater.org.

Increase noted in edible marijuana Nineteen recreational marijuana intoxication of King County children stores caught selling to minors ports related to ingestion of marijuana-containing baked goods. Marijuana intoxication in children can lead to anxiety attacks, psychoticlike symptoms, seizures and respiratory depression. Although most cases do not require hospital admission or result in serious illness, children often require extensive and costly medical evaluations to rule out other causes of their symptoms. Key prevention steps 4Adults should all take steps to prevent children from marijuana intoxication and gaining access to edible marijuana. 4Purchased and homemade edible marijuana products should be stored away from where children can see and gain access to them. Use containers that are securely sealed and not see-through. Consider putting “Mr. Yuk” stickers on the containers. Order them from the Washington Poison Center website,

Marijuana-positive drivers up in 2014 Newly released data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission shows that marijuana is increasing as a factor in deadly crashes. The number of drivers involved in deadly crashes who tested positive for marijuana increased 48 percent from 2013 to 2014. From 2010-2014, nearly 60 percent of drivers involved in fatal collisions were tested for drugs. Among those tested drivers, about 20 percent (349 drivers) were positive for marijuana. However, just testing positive for marijuana doesn’t necessarily indicate whether a driver was actually affected by the drug at the time of the crash since marijuana can be detected in a person’s blood for days (possibly weeks) after a person uses the drug. This new data is able to distinguish between drivers who test positive for THC, the impairing substance in marijuana and those who have residual marijuana in their system from prior use that may have occurred days ago.

The number of drivers testing positive for active THC has steadily increased, from less than half of marijuana-positive drivers in 2010 up to almost 65 percent of drivers in 2013. In 2014, an alarming 85 percent (75 of 89 drivers) of drivers testing positive for marijuana were positive for impairing THC. Half of those THCpositive drivers were also under the influence of alcohol, the majority of those also exceeded the alcohol limit of .08 percent BAC. The largest increase in THC-positive drivers were among males ages 21-25, from only six in 2013 up to 19 in 2014 — the most significant increase among any age group. A new law prohibits drivers and passengers from using marijuana while driving. It also prohibits anyone from keeping marijuana in the vehicle unless it is in its original sealed packaging or is stored in the trunk or some other area of the car not normally occupied by people.

Pacific Learning Academy recently hired Krista Wood as its new marketing and community relations coordinator. Wood, of Issaquah, will be responsible for driving Pacific Learning Academy’s marketing efforts and building a connection with local families and businesses throughout the Greater Eastside community.

Issaquah store not one of the guilty In the first complete round of compliance checks of retail marijuana stores, 19 Washington recreational retail marijuana businesses sold marijuana to an underage investigative aide. The Issaquah Cannabis Co. was not one of them; it passed its compliance check. Washington State Liquor Control Board enforcement officers working with the aides checked each retail marijuana business for sales of marijuana to minors. The checks essentially represent an 88 percent no-sales-to-minors compliance rate. “Our goal is 100 percent compliance,” WSLB Board Chairwoman Jane Rushford said in a news release. “While perfect compliance is always a challenging goal, it is clearly in everyone’s interest that our licensees be

vigilant about preventing underage sales.” The 19 businesses will be cited for selling marijuana to minors, and the individuals who sold the marijuana will be referred to their respective prosecuting attorney’s office for potential criminal prosecution. The board and local authorities regularly conduct compliance checks of area businesses licensed to sell alcohol and marijuana. The checks, conducted at every open marijuana retailer across the state (157 locations) from mid-May until the end of June, were the first marijuana compliance checks. Stores were considered open if it had reported sales. The checks followed earlier communications to all licensees that enforcement officers were beginning compliance checks and recommended best practices for avoiding an illegal sale. Compliance checks are proven tools to reduce the sale of age-restricted

products to minors. Investigative aides, ages 18-20, assist officers with compliance checks. They must either present their true identification or none at all if asked by a clerk. Liquor enforcement officers are empowered to issue Administrative Violation Notices to businesses that fail compliance checks. Fines or temporary license suspensions can be issued depending on the severity of the infraction or the frequency with which a business has been cited. Sales to minors are considered the most serious violations because they present a threat to public safety. Businesses cited for Sale to a Minor face a 10-day suspension or $2,500 fine. A second violation within three years requires a 30-day suspension with no monetary option. Businesses who receive three public safety violations within three years face license cancellation.

According to the Washington Poison Center, the number of edible marijuana intoxications reported in King County in 2014 was 73 percent higher than in 2013, and there is an upward trend this year. Children 5 and younger accounted for roughly 30 percent of all edible marijuana intoxication reports in 2014. Seventy-three percent of children required evaluation at a hospital. Most intoxications among children occur when a child finds marijuana-containing products such as candy, chocolate or baked goods left unattended in the home. In 2014, children younger than 18 accounted for half of intoxication reports related to chocolate and candy edibles, and more than one-fourth of re-

Q uote of the week “So it’s like a valuable, vintage old car. You go out and drive it hard, but not so hard that if you do anything stupid, you’d break it.” — Dixon Smith, owner and driver of the restored Miss Bardahl, a vintage hydroplane boat

30 mph memorial to a life cut short

e is 4 years old, in red, white and black striped shirt, pale blue jeans and metallic blue tennis shoes, spinning, jumping, crouching, leaping and singing a song in exuberance at a Costco store. Haochen Xu will be dancing in my iPhone forever. How did that come to be there? On Monday, June 30, we learned in the newsroom that the boy hit in the Oakcrest Drive crosswalk on Newport Way had died of his injuries, and on a very busy production day the only person with time to return to the neighborhood for following up on the Xu family’s tragedy was me. Neighbors pointed out the home, and knocking on that door was one of the most anxious moments of my life. Junwei Xu and his wife Xiaoli Tao were more than generous to this stranger in their grief than anyone had a right to expect, speaking about how bright and precocious he was. What they said was added to our article. They allowed me to photograph a school photo of him. Then Junwei showed me the 50-second video on his iPhone of Haochen’s happy dance. I had just recently bought my first smartphone. May I shoot a video of his phone, and could we put it on The Press website? The answer was yes. You can still find the video on YouTube by searching Haochen Xu Dances. His parents wanted people to know how joyful and smart their

son was and how much his preschool teachers loved him. The speed limit on Newport Way Northwest was Greg lowered to 30 mph last Farrar week, and I Press photographer have driven it five times, watching as most of the motorists drive more slowly along the 2-mile stretch. The cost was too high, but future lives have been saved. That road to me has acquired the feeling of a living testimonial in Haochen Xu’s memory, a chance to slow down for four minutes at a time and contemplate the sanctity of life. Flashing warnings at Newport Way’s four crosswalks like the one downtown at Gibson Hall would be another great step. I will always remember the wail of Haochen’s grandmother, Shezhen Chen, when she recognized his shoes in the street. And the story I wrote three years ago when Troy Scholzen’s Chihuahuas Yogi and Jake were killed while being walked on leashes by him in that crosswalk makes my eyes water when I reread it. Haochen could be alive today. For the record, I personally would not have been able to deal with covering a third tragedy at Northwest Oakcrest Drive if action had not been taken.

H ome C ountry Everyone creates his or her own little worlds There’s a word, thought Dud, silently. A word to describe this … this pristine fall morning sitting here in a blind with a bow and arrows and anticipation of finding the same buck we saw last year. Maybe this year we’ll have a safe shot at him. This world, this tiny world around me. Right now. There’s a word. Look at that deer track just to my right, for example. See the edges of it begin to crumble? That tells me it is maybe an hour old, because it takes that long for the mud walls of the track to dry enough to flake off. When did I learn that? Which old timer told me about that? My granddad? He was a hunter all right, and I learned a lot from him, but there’s this feeling in the back of my brain that it came from someone else. Bert? Hey, maybe Bert. Bert was a guide in his younger years and he showed me all kinds of things out here. Dud smiled to himself behind the camo gauzy face mask. It’s almost impossible not to smile on a morning like this one. Even if it rains, I’ll still smile, he thought. He felt like telling that pine tree

over there … Hey, I’m back. Dud Campbell. Remember me? The tree looked the same as it did last year and the same as it did when Slim he sat right here Randles as a 10-year-old boy with his grandfather. I guess some things change and some don’t. That big rock down by the creek will probably never change. Not even after the pine tree decays and falls someday long into the future. A movement by his left foot caught his eye and he looked down without moving his head. It’s an art form for a hunter. And there was a deer mouse, poking up out of the leaf litter, looking around and going back down, but slowly and unafraid. Dud smiled again. I fooled him. Maybe when that buck comes along … But that word. Come on, you’re writing a book, you should know that word for this little world you create, you visit, each fall morning like this one. Oh, yes. Microcosm. The blissful microcosm of a hunter. Brought to you by “Saddle Up: A Cowboy Guide to Writing.” Look it up at LPDpress.com.

F rom F acebook City looks to jump-start Central Issaquah Plan Carrie Schneider — Hey Issaquah, please widen the roads through Issaquah for the current residents before you go planning for more business and residential traffic in our city! If traffic gets any worse, no one is going to want to live here. Kayleen Corrigan — Exactly. Don’t go attracting a bunch of new residents with fancy condos and swanky new stores without first addressing our serious traffic concerns! I love this town so much, but will move to North Bend or further out if push comes to shove.

New speed limit goes into effect Carrie Schneider — The elephant in the room no one wants to talk about is how to get people from Issaquah-Hobart Road through town to Interstate 90. Without a bypass, folks will always be driving

through business and residential areas of Issaquah, and in greater and greater numbers as the population of Issaquah and surrounding communities grown.

How about working to make the one behind Clark Elementary both underground and lead free? Not the best sound for kids to play outside hearing day in and day out.

Editorial — Speed limit decrease is good, but go further

Britt Melewski — And the new IMS school building is even closer to the Sportsman’s Club. Wonder of your concerns were addressed in the SEPA review and resulting conditions of approval for the new school building?

Doreen R. Kolenc — The crosswalk at the accident is just after a curve in the road. It should be at a straight section of the road. I would never cross there even with the speed limit at 30. In my opinion, this crosswalk area needs to be removed and placed elsewhere.

I hope the powers that be will bear that in mind when they decorate the sides of I-90 . Is there still going to be a view of Lake Sammamish somewhere along that stretch?

Officials have described the Central Issaquah Plan, adopted in late 2012, as a long-term vision for the center of the city that would bring about a dense urban core, a tight, multistory mix of residential and commercial development. While a few projects are underway, at the behest of the council, the Economic Vitality Commission took on the task of identifying a few spots for a catalyst project, something that

For example, he said the city has to address the Front Street interchange with Interstate 90, and his plan sets aside $44 million for just that purpose. “That’s something that should be addressed regardless of the scope of development,” Flood said.

As part of the project, one of the 10 units was leased to the city at no cost to be used as an educational center.

might spur even more development. The council unanimously approved the four potential locations at its recent meeting. The administration must now come up with economic and other incentives to help attract development to at least one of the targeted locations. In past discussions and at the recent council meeting, planners emphasized the need for a public area or large, open meeting space to be part of any catalyst project. A flashy, roughly five-minute video was one of Niven’s sales tools at the council session. In the video, Lucy Sloman, land development manager, emphasized Issaquah currently has no large,

central plaza-type space. Of the locations identified, Niven favored the Fourth and Gilman spot largely because of its size and central location. The spot consists of 2.8 acres of undeveloped property. The commission has described Gilman and Front Street as the gateway to both Olde Town and the Central Issaquah planning area. Niven noted gas stations and car-oriented businesses dominate the location presently. Again following council’s direction, the Economic Vitality Commission is to come again before legislators in 2016 with either a real or mock catalyst plan for at least one of the chosen locations.

vides fire suppression and prevention and emergency medical services to Issaquah, Sammamish and North Bend, and two fire districts encompassing a total of about 190 square miles and a population of more than 130,000. In 2014, EFR responded to more than 8,600 calls for service with more than 65 percent of those being for medical emergencies. EFR provides basic life support with more advanced paramedic aid available through King County emergency services. EFR, headquartered in Issaquah, uses professional and volunteer firefighters who man 14 stations, of which nine house professional personnel and are staffed 24 hours a day. Five are volunteer stations each run by an on-duty battalion chief. All in all, EFR has

some 141 employees, 120 of which are uniformed personnel. EFR also has 101 volunteers. Soptich, 58, became EFR chief in 1995. He announced his retirement in December 2014. “Everything lined up for me,” he said in explaining his reasons for leaving the department. Soptich said he and wife Carrie have paid off their Carnation home and the last of his seven children will soon graduate college. Soptich said he and his wife, devout Mormons, decided now is an ideal time in their lives for them to take on the church mission trips they have long wanted to tackle. “That’s just in our DNA,” Soptich said, referring to the couple’s desire to work for the church. “This is what we intend to do.”

Horton already has plans to improve The Press group. “The No. 1 thing we’re going to focus on is improving the website, get it more user-friendly and updated more regularly,” he said. He’s also looking forward to meeting the people in the communities the papers serve. “I want to connect with

“I would look for funding under every rock I could find,” Ramos said rather than move directly to taxing residents in one way or another. In general, Ramos said he has spent virtually every evening of the past few months going doorto-door and talking with residents. He said he had learned a lot and talked avidly about enjoying the experience. While voters often talk about the obvious issues of traffic and development, Ramos said he has discovered each neighborhood has its own flavor and local concerns. One issue

that came up in a couple of developments is the question of access. In both Talus and the Issaquah Highlands, residents complained there is one way in and one way out of their neighborhoods. “Everybody hates that,” Ramos said, adding he would ensure any future residential developments did not suffer that same problem. The self-employed Ramos is 59. He is married with two children, both attending Cornish College of the Arts. Learn more about him at www.ramosforcitycouncil. com.

the hook for $119 million. Officials have floated ideas, including license tab fees and a local income tax, to cover that. Flood said he would pay for his plan mostly through a voterapproved bond sale. Flood also wants the council to make community engagement a priority. He said hopefully that would improve voter percentages and reduce the number of council candidates running unopposed. Only Jennifer Sutton filed to run for the Position 2 council seat about to be vacated by Councilwoman Nina Milligan. Sutton will therefore get the seat,

since she is running unopposed. Speed limits are another hot topic in the city, especially on Newport Way Northwest, where 4-yearold Haochen Xu was hit and killed. “I think the city acted correctly and as quickly as local government can,” Flood said, adding he would slow development on the street until infrastructure and safety concerns are better addressed. Flood, 36, a business analyst for Rosetta Stone, is married and has one child. Learn more about him at www.voteflood.com.

MISS BARDAHL RIDES AGAIN Original pit crew reunites to celebrate 50th anniversary of iconic hydroplane’s last race

By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com For those who have had their fill of Salmon Days festivities, longtime Issaquah resident Dixon Smith, 72, has an alternative recommendation for something to do the first weekend of October — come to Lake Chelan to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the last official race of the Miss Bardahl. Smith and three other original crewmembers will be on hand as the Miss Bardahl participates with other vintage hydroplanes at the 2015 Mahogany & Merlot Vintage Boat and Car Event Oct. 3. Smith, the current owner and driver of the restored Miss Bardahl, said the pay he earned as a mechanic

on the boat’s crew, including a portion of the winnings from races, typically helped pay the next year’s cost for college at the University of Washington. “People ask me, ‘Why are you interested in that boat?’” Smith said. “Well, it paid for college. So it was a good deal, a really good deal.” Three generations of the Smiths have at one point or another worked on the Miss Bardahl, including Smith’s father Burns and his son and current crew chief and backup driver Ryan. Ron Musson piloted the Miss Bardahl Green Dragon — originally owned by Ole Bardahl, founder of the Bardahl Chemical Corp. — to 12 victories from 1962-65, including

three straight Gold Cup wins and national championships in 1963-65. The Bardahl is also renowned for running 57 consecutive heats without a mechanical failure. Smith said the hydroplane ran its last race in 1965, before sitting around various places, deteriorating and ending up in really bad shape. Smith and his brother David then got ahold of it in 2000. “We spent about five years restoring the boat to running condition,” he said. “That involved everything from building motors to fixing the hull, those kind of things. We got it in as good of shape as when it was a race boat.” Smith estimates they put in nearly $200,000 restor-

With his background as a retired American Airlines pilot, Smith said he had an advantage over others right off the street in piloting the vintage hydroplane. “Driving one of these boats takes about the same level of attention as piloting a Boeing 777,” he said. “I drive it carefully, somewhat aggressively. It took me a few runs to get used to. It is a bit of a challenge to drive.” See BARDAHL, Page 8

VanDenBergh spent many of his service years in Issaquah. “Mike was an accomplished EMT, firefighter, driver and acting officer,” Fire Chief Lee Soptich said in a statement. “He was reliable, dedicated and met every criteria required to be numbered as a true public servant.” VanDenBergh joins an unfortunate and increasing number of those who die from diseases proven to be fire-industry related, Soptich said. “Even though the industry has made huge strides in raising awareness and getting in place many measures to avoid or reduce contracting debilitating and sometimes deadly ailments, this risk still haunts us all,” he said. Deputy Chief Wes Collins, who interviewed VanDenBergh to become an Issaquah and then later EFR-career firefighter, remembers he had a passion for serving the community and always left people with a smile. VanDenBergh is survived by his wife Renee and two children, Ethan and Sophie.

String quartet takes center stage with touring musical By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com The music of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr has impacted countless musicians worldwide, and their influence will soon be seen in tangible ways through four Skyline High School seniors. The Skyline students — Lauren Christian, Elyse Kelsey, Imran McGrath and Jenny Yang — were chosen for a one-night performance with a traveling production, “In My Life — A Musical Theatre Tribute to The Beatles.” They’ll hit the stage Oct.

The students were chosen because of their talents as a string quartet. Christian and Yang

The Kirkland Performance Center seats about 400 people, so it’s possible the students will be playing in front of the See QUARTET, Page 8

O bituary Monte Keith Garrett

1952-2015 Monte Garrett, of Issaquah, passed peacefully on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2015, in his home. Born July 31, 1952, in Oklahoma, Monte relocated from Tulsa several years ago to help his aunt and uncle, Margaret and George Davis. George passed away in 2012 and Monte stayed on as a companion to Margaret.

Each featured produce item will be accompanied by signage in the lunchroom for students to read with information about the local farm that grew and harvested the food.

largest audience they’ve ever seen. That’s cause for some nerves, said Yang, who has been taking private lessons since age 7. “It is intimidating, but I’m also really excited since it’s such a big deal,” she said. “This is kind of the most exciting thing that’s happened to a quartet that I’ve been in.” Each member of the quartet has some significant musical accomplishments. All of them have performed with the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra. Among other credits, Christian has worked with the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra, Kelsey with

Smith limits the speed of the boat to 150-160 mph. In races, it routinely went 180. But you won’t see Smith pushing the Miss Bardahl’s limits that much. “It’s not a competitive boat anymore and I don’t heal up as quickly,” he said. “Plus, it’s expensive to repair. The Smiths run the Miss Bardahl in about three or four exhibitions a year, and also give out the occasional ride for charity. “So it’s like a valuable,

Monte was enamored of the Pacific Northwest. He tended the forest garden on Wildwood and was drawn to the natural beauty of the Northwest. He was devoted to the family’s German Shepherds, Peaches and Vincent, who accompanied him on treks to the ocean, rivers and mountains, especially on the Olympic Peninsula. Monte was involved in service to the community.

He volunteered there and quickly became a knowledgeable and entertaining ambassador for sea life and the aquarium. Monte is survived by his aunt Margaret Davis; his sister Sandy Snodgrass; and cousins George and Pat Davis, Bob and Dana Rehm, Eddi Gambotto, Di

Dental Group and Renton Modern Dentistry served their community on Aug. 22 by participating in the fifth annual Smile Generation Serve Day. The clinicians provided pro-bono treatment to people in need, providing nearly $28,000 in donated dental services. One Smile Generation Serve Day patient was a veteran who had served two tours of duty. Dr. Bill McGlashan and his dental care team wanted to help him with his dental care. The man received three root canals and six crowns. The supplies for the treatments were donated

by Henry Schein Dental. Henry Schein is the largest provider of health care products and services to office-based practitioners. More than 400 Smile Generation-trusted offices participated in Smile Generation Serve Day. The Smile Generation is committed to partnering with their network of dental offices to ensure community needs are being met and to making a difference in the lives of others.

Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestras, and McGrath with an all-cello quartet, The Emerald Strings. There won’t be much rehearsal time with the “In My Life” cast, who will be wearing period costumes and using vintage instruments. “They’ve given us our five songs that we have to rehearse and we’re in charge of that on our own,” Kelsey said. “We have to fit that into our crazy, busy schedules. “And then we have one rehearsal with the actual tribute band … and we do it for real on Oct. 20. So it’s kind of a one-shot deal.” Music is only part of the students’ lives. McGrath and Yang are pursuing International Baccalaureate diplomas, and they said their rigorous academic requirements keep them from playing in Skyline’s

orchestra. Christian and Kelsey are Girl Scouts, while Kelsey and Yang have aspirations of careers in medicine. Christian plans go into education. “I had a great experience with my music teacher in elementary school and I wanted to give back to children,” she said. “If I had this amazing experience from this one teacher, I kind of saw it as my responsibility to be the next generation, to give them that same experience that I had.” Each of them were inspired to pursue music at an early age. Yang and Kelsey said Cindy Elder, their orchestra teacher at Pine Lake Middle School, made a big difference. “She just really made me believe that I could be good if I applied myself,” Kelsey said.

Marianna Vail, orchestra teacher at Beaver Lake Middle School, was Christian’s mentor, forcing her to become more disciplined. “She was the person who just flat-out told everyone, ‘If you want to get better, you have to put the time and effort and the resources into it,’” Christian said. And for McGrath, there’s been a connection with Doug Longman, director of the Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra, which includes highschool students from around the Issaquah School District. “It’s just his attitude about being really friendly and really reaching out to the community, and performing for locals,” McGrath said. “It really gives a greater sense of purpose to playing music.”

vintage old car. You go out and drive it hard, but not so hard that if you do anything stupid, you’d break it,” Smith said. Because of the boat’s popularity — Seattle-area residents in their 60s and 70s still recall the glory days of the Miss Bardahl — festivals like Seafair and Tri City Follies toss some money his way for her appearances. “People remind me all the time, when they were little kids, their fathers used to bring them out and watch the crew work on the boat,” Smith said. “Those are old people telling me now. We get really good responses. People really like boats.”

He added most current race boats have gas turbine jet engines don’t make that much noise. “Crowds really like the noise, and the old boats make a lot of noise,” he said. “No mufflers on these things. And people really like that.” Crowds at Lake Chelan will get to see a race course set up similar to Seattle’s Seafair race. “When we put on an exhibition, we will orchestrate it ahead of time,” Smith said of the driver. “We’ll run boats close together. No one gets too much ahead or behind. So it looks very much like a race.” Accompanying Smith

to the exhibition in Lake Chelan will be the other remaining crew members from 1965 — his brother David; Skip Schott, of Maltby; and Roger Kruse, of Portland, Oregon. Also tagging along will be Smith’s other unofficial crewmember, his wife of 43 years, Judy. He said she has been very supportive of his little hobby, being very, very tolerant of the things he does. “Her only complaint is she doesn’t get enough rides in the boat,” Smith said. “In fact, the last time I put her in the boat with me, I put her in the driver’s side and said, ‘You drive.’ She is kind of the official third person who has driven the boat.”

her publishing company is in the process. Being an author, while keeping her busy, didn’t exactly pay the bills when she first put pen to paper. “Being an author is not a real big money gig,” Chauran said, adding that her first royalty check was $36.46. “Now I’m making more, considerably, because I’m established. But the author money alone is what is putting (me) through school for my doctoral degree.” Already armed with a master’s degree in teaching and a Bachelor of Science from Seattle University, Chauran is in the dissertation stage of her doctoral degree in public administration. “Or, as I like to say, world domination,” she said. “I hope to get more book writing out of that.” Predicting the future As busy as her writing and educational pursuits keep her, Chauran, 34, said her day job — fortune teller — might be surprising. Chauran has been a professional psychic intuitive for more than a decade, serving thousands of clients in the region and around the world through her website, www.seepsychic.com. Making appearances at parties, office events and in-person consultations, Chauran is actually a second-generation fortune teller. “Mother is actually a really great fortune teller, as well, amazing tarot readings, and has prophetic dreams, astounding, much more so than my own,” she said. “My parents really encouraged me to explore whatever I wanted. So when I started college at UW, fresh out of high school, it was the heyday of psychic hotlines. Miss Cleo was on TV saying, ‘Call me now for a free reading,’” Chauran said in a Jamaican accent. She added that fortune tellers are more accepted these days, “much more so than when my mom was a

kid, that’s for sure.” “We live in a region that’s much more secular in (the) Pacific Northwest. Worstcase scenario, people just think I’m crazy or silly, as opposed to evil,” she said. Chauran tried the psychic hotlines for a while herself, really loving the work. “I love being a Jill of all trades. Fortune-telling is a job where you get the most thanks and praise from the people around you, much more so than being a teacher or mother or anything else,” Chauran said. The mother of two — Eris, 4, and Orion, 3 — is approaching her 10th wedding anniversary with husband Derek in October. Developing talents This is actually Chauran’s second “365 Ways” book. The first was “365 Ways to Develop Psychic Ability.” Chauran said she wrote her latest book as a way to address a need in yet another area of her expertise — she is also a Third Degree Elder High Priestess British Traditional Wicca and the queen of a coven. “Since I teach students in Wicca, in our religion there are stages of training, an outer court, where they’re interested in Wicca, but not sure it’s right for them yet,” Chauran said. “It takes at least a year before you begin formal training, where you are a student and I am a teacher.” It was during this intervening year she wanted prospective students to have someone to guide them spiritually. “I felt bad not having something meaty to work with,” she said. “It felt more like a glorified ice cream social, sitting around chatting about spirituality, but I wanted something more.” Guiding others So she decided to write a spirituality guide. She wanted to keep it nondenominational, as did her publisher. “You can’t really sell to just Wiccans,” she explained. “So they asked me, with all this experience as a nondenominational chaplain for UW Medical Center, ‘Could you come from an angle more nondenominational so anyone could learn from it?’” So Chauran took a “shotgun” approach. Utilizing her teaching knowledge, she tried a scaffolding approach, giving readers something to build upon as they go through the book. “Since people are all different, they come at it from different angles, different spiritual needs. So I give them a cornucopia of things to try and inspire,” she said. Essentially, her book targets the demographic of working women who are open to different spiritualities. Chauran said she worked really hard to make this particular book very accessible. “I really did feel a calling,” she said. “In my religion, you try to reach out to people who are coming to us. We don’t prosthelytize. It’s against my religion. “(I) felt really called, ‘How am I going to help these people who are at a stage that I can’t really give them anything yet?’ Even if those people aren’t right for what I believe in, they can use this as a springboard, stepping stone to change their own lives.”

Issaquah falls short against determined Eastlake, 23-20 By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com

By Greg Farrar

Reegan Weber, Liberty High School freshman, drives through the water in the breaststroke leg of her 200-yard individual medley race during the Patriots’ swim meet Sept. 24 against Newport at Julius Boehm Pool.

Liberty drubs Hazen, loses to Newport By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com The Liberty High School girls swimming and diving team won 11 of 12 events at its meet against rival Hazen on Sept. 22. Sophomore Abby Russell led the Patriots with two individual wins in the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyles. Junior Belle Wong took first in the 1-meter diving competition, senior Lauryn Hepp won the 100yard butterfly, senior Ellie Hohensinner captured the 100-yard backstroke, junior Sydney Hartford won the 100-yard breaststroke, and freshmen standouts Krista Kroiss and Reegan Weber won the 500-yard free and the 50-yard free, respectively. Additionally, the Patriots swept the three relay events. Later in the week, Liberty fell to Newport, 11559. Wong, the 1-meter diving champion, and Hepp, the 100-yard freestyle winner, picked up the only Liberty victories in the Sept. 24 meet. So far, the Patriots have six swimmers with state-qualifying times: Hepp, Hohensinner, Russell, Weber, Hartford and freshman Taylor Clay. The Patriots also have statequalifying times in all three relays. Football Lake Washington handed Liberty its first loss Sept. 25 when the Kangaroos edged the Patriots 20-17 in overtime. Liberty running back Joseph Cunningham continued his scoring streak with a 27-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Quarterback Nate Solly

completed a 27-yard TD pass to Isaiah Owens, and kicker Tyler Wray added a field goal to put the Patriots up 17-0 after the first quarter. Liberty wouldn’t score again, as Lake Washington meticulously chipped away at the lead. A touchdown in the second quarter, a third-quarter field goal and fourth-quarter passing TD left the score tied at 17. In overtime, the Patriots won the toss and elected to start on defense. They held Lake Washington to a 25-yard field goal, but when Liberty’s turn came, Wray’s 40-yard attempt was no good. Girls soccer The Patriots had just one match last week and they took care of business, improving to 4-0-2 on the season. Liberty soundly defeated Interlake, 4-1, on Sept. 24. Jordan Hemmen was credited with two goals, while Makenna Carr and Sydney Willoughby each had one. Cameron Nelson had three assists. Boys tennis Liberty’s Sept. 22 victory over Sammamish was a milestone win for a few reasons. First, it was the Patriots’ first win of the season, and second, it was the first time Liberty swept an opponent since head coach Mike Salokas started at the school in 2007. In the singles’ matches, Marek Pierepiekarz won, 6-0, 6-2; Cody Hughes won 6-0, 6-1; Marco Sobrino won 6-0, 6-0; and Christian Wong won 6-0, 6-1. In doubles, Ethan and Bryan Le won 6-0, 6-1;

Colby and Calvin Vuong won 6-0, 6-0; and Nathan Yan and Naoki Lucas picked up a 6-0, 6-1 victory. Later that week, Liberty defeated Kennedy Catholic, 4-3. Sobrino, Wong and the doubles’ teams of Colby and Calvin Vuong, and Yan and Lucas, each won. Volleyball Liberty went 1-2 last week and is now 2-5 this season. After falling to Bellevue, 3-1, the Patriots defeated West Seattle, 3-0, then fell to Lake Washington, 3-0.

For the third time in four outings this season, the Issaquah High School football team saw how the outcome can be determined by a few, small details. Victory slipped away from the Eagles in the second half of their Sept. 25 game against the visiting Eastlake Wolves, who held on for a 23-20 triumph in Class 4A KingCo Conference play at Gary Moore Stadium. Issaquah dropped to 2-2 in KingCo play. Three of their games have been decided by a total of seven points, making the results particularly hard to swallow, coach Buddy Bland said. “The kids are disappointed, but my hat is off to Eastlake because they played the type of football that we strive to play,” he said. “They’re disciplined, they execute, they overcome adversity, and we just got in our own way tonight.” Eastlake (3-1 overall, 3-0 KingCo) committed 14 penalties, including 10 in the first half, but was able to seize control of the game on two possessions. Issaquah grabbed a 1410 lead after running back Bryce Hughes picked up all 58 yards on a second-

quarter drive, capping it with a 6-yard burst off the left side. With a minute left in the half, the Eagles tried a fake punt on fourth-and-2 near midfield, but were stuffed, giving the Wolves a chance to go 49 yards in three plays. Quarterback Mark Whitley scored on a 4-yard run with 13 seconds left to regain the lead for the Wolves. Bland said the Eagles missed a blocking assignment on the fake punt, and it came back to cost them. “If they don’t go right, you end up with a momentum swing,” he said of the trick play. Eastlake got the ball to start the second half and held it for more than five minutes. Whitley hit Parker Lester for 30 yards to convert on third-and-17, and then found running back Daniel Bradley on a 17-yard pass for a 23-14 lead. Eastlake safety Hank Pladson intercepted Cam Humphrey’s pass near the goal line late in the third quarter, denying Issaquah an important score after Eagles lineman Connor Smith recovered a Daniel Bradley fumble. Issaquah got within one score when Humphrey hooked up with Ethan Koppel on a 45-yard TD pass with just over seven minutes to play.

Whitley’s 45-yard run to the Issaquah 4 seemingly sealed the win, but the Eagles’ defense stiffened and the Wolves turned the ball over on downs. Issaquah had used all of its timeouts, though, and never got close to field-goal range as Humphrey threw two incompletions, and then was sacked by Colin Booker on the game’s final play. Whitley completed 12 of 15 throws for 199 yards, one TD and no interceptions, and also ran for 84 yards and a score. Bradley added 76 yards and one TD on 20 carries. “From the beginning, we knew that quarterback is dynamic,” Bland said. “We have to find a way to slow them down, and we found our stride in the second half, but in the end, they were able to pick up some critical third-and-long situations.” Eastlake coach Don Bartel said the Eagles’ offense posed a formidable threat. But outside of a few big plays, including Connor Pederson’s 80-yard TD catch in the first quarter, Issaquah was forced into long, sustained drives. “They were so dangerous and yet our kids kept them contained,” Bartel said. Issaquah travels to Olympia at 7 p.m. Oct. 2 for its only nonconference game of the season.

Boys golf Liberty narrowly defeated Issaquah, 183-184, on Sept. 21. Issaquah’s Zack Overstreet was the medalist, but Luke Hall and Ben Graham, two Patriots who are putting together stellar seasons, were right behind him. The Patriots defeated Interlake, 202-243, on Sept. 24. Liberty has yet to lose a match this season. Cross country The girls defeated Juanita Sept. 23 in their second home meet. Liberty runners occupied the top three spots, led by senior Tyra Christopherson. Liberty lost to Juanita in the boys’ race. Sophomore Alexander Krohn, who placed 16th, was Liberty’s top finisher. The latest state coaches’ poll has the girls ranked first in Class 2A, and the boys fourth.

Ethan Koppel, Issaquah High School senior wide receiver, having broken tackles at the 35, outruns the final desperate leap of Eastlake junior defensive back Parker Lester and scores in the fourth quarter on a 45-yard pass and run play, putting the final points of the game on the board in the Eagles’ 20-23 loss Sept. 25.

Skyline holds off Eastlake in evenly-played match By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com After failing to convert a couple clear scoring chances in the first half, the Skyline Spartans didn’t waste much time in the second half to get the goal they craved. Less than a minute into the second half, outside back Ava Giovanola sent a long free kick into the penalty area and center back Mariah Alexander managed a slight deflection to put the ball in the back of the net. It was the difference-making moment in Skyline’s 1-0 victory over the Eastlake Wolves to open Class 4A KingCo Conference girls soccer play Sept. 24 at Eastlake High School. “I just really wanted to score, so I went up for it and it went in,” Alexander said of her 41stminute tally, the sophomore’s first at the varsity level. Skyline (3-1-3 overall, 1-0 KingCo) was the more dangerous team in the first half, when it outshot Eastlake 10-2 and had two clear-cut opportunities to go ahead.

By Greg Farrar

Mariah Alexander (9), Skyline High School sophomore, with teammates McKenna Ross (5) and Alexa Kirton, begins the celebration of her goal in the Spartans’ 1-0 win Sept. 24 against Eastlake. In the 32nd minute, midfielder Alessandra Zonta got behind the Wolves’ defense and was all alone against goalkeeper Natalie LaTurner, but shot wide to the right. In the final two minutes of the

half, midfielder Emma Rohleder latched onto a long pass and zipped past Eastlake center back Cami Kennedy. With Rohleder in full flight, LaTurner pulled off a tremendous save by running toward the ball and diving to save

a low shot. Eastlake, which went 5-0-1 in its six nonconference outings, was hungry to beat plateau rival Skyline. The Wolves’ 11 seniors had never accomplished the feat. “I’m not disappointed in them; I’m disappointed in the result,” coach Marc Wilson said. “I thought we were a little shaky in the first half. It was a pretty hectic pace. “I think, once we settled in, we looked better. We had some moments attacking there in the second half where I thought we were going to get one.” Eastlake’s best chance came in the 54th minute after earning a corner kick. Clare Suter crossed the ball into the box and when Skyline goalkeeper Anna Smith couldn’t grab it, the Wolves had two whacks at goal. The first try ricocheted off Skyline midfielder McKenna Ross, who was stationed on the goal line. The rebound landed at the feet of Eastlake’s Tatum Thornton, who had her goal-bound shot saved by a diving Smith. The Wolves had the ball for most of the second half, but

they were unable to break down a stout Skyline back line that was comprised entirely of sophomores. The Spartans’ most experienced defender, junior Cameron Tingey, didn’t play. “We really just wanted to work together as a team and since we have a lot of younger players, we needed that team bond,” Alexander said of her team’s pregame message. Nervous energy might have worked against the Wolves. Wilson felt Eastlake’s attack was too “disjointed” and thought the team’s midfield tried to shoulder too much of a burden. “We’ve just got to collect, set up and move the ball on,” he said, “and when we play that style of soccer, touchline to touchline, get the ball moving, we’re tough to defend and we can attack from both sides. I don’t think we did that at our best tonight.” Skyline’s next two outings are at Newport on Oct. 6 and at home against Redmond on Oct. 8. Eastlake faces two road tests next week, going to Woodinville on Oct. 6 and to Bothell on Oct. 8. All matches begin at 7:30 p.m.
