Tent City 4 prepares to return

Fire station mixes red and ‘green’ Station 72 is designed to lessen impact on environment

Tent City 4, a camp for up to 100 homeless people, is poised to return to a local church Oct. 21, after the city issued a permit for the encampment Oct. 4.

The encampment is due to remain in the Community Church of Issaquah parking lot from until Jan. 21. Tent City 4 remains in a place for 90 days, and then residents pack up and relocate to another church.

Organizers need donations and volunteers to help relocate the encampment from a Bellevue synagogue. Learn more about Tent City 4 needs at http://tentcity4.info.

Under camp rules, residents must be adults. Most residents leave the encampment during the day to work. The community elects a camp executive committee to run day-to-day operations. The campsite features 24-hour security.

Organizers conduct warrant and convicted sex offender checks on people requesting to stay at Tent City 4. The camp bans offenders from the premises. Other rules prohibit alcohol, drugs and guns inside the encampment.

In June, Community Church of Issaquah congregants agreed to allow Tent City 4 to settle on the church’s parking lot. The encampment also stayed at the church in August 2007 and January 2010.

A rainbow of fire hoses retired from service and a horse-drawn hose cart hang in a staircase at Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72 during the Oct. 8 public open house. See a slideshow of photos at www.issaquahpress.com.

The red accents on Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72 offer a traditional package for the “green” features embedded throughout the building.

Station 72 is the most energy efficient fire station on the planet.

The city and EFR spearheaded a project to create a next-generation facility as a showcase for “green” innovations in Issaquah and a model for other fire departments.

“We’re proud of the fact that we’ve got a fire station built that meets our needs,” EFR Chief Lee Soptich said. “We’re also really proud of the fact that we’re doing everything we can not to cause more problems for the environment.”

Crews completed the station for $6.8 million — less than the total $8 million budget. Fire District 10 also put funds into the project.

(The district encompasses Klahanie, May Valley and Preston in the Issaquah area.)

Station 72 planners said the building could deliver dividends — in reduced energy costs and, hence, less public money — during the decades ahead.

“The citizens of today are giving a gift to the citizens of tomorrow,” said Wes Collins, EFR deputy chief of planning.

Brad Liljequist, project manager for Station 72 and zHome, a carbon-neutral community in the Issaquah Highlands, said such buildings act as a bulwark against future spikes in energy costs.

“We know that energy prices are going to go up,” he said.

“They may go up pretty radically over time. So, in a way, we’re kind of prepaying a lot of our energy costs.”

Council allows highlands gas station despite concerns Opponents raise questions about groundwater contamination

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter City Council members, eager to attract more retail options to the

Issaquah Highlands, decided a gas station can open in the neighborhood, but only if groceries accompany the fill-ups.

The council agreed in a 7-0

decision Oct. 3 to change the agreement between the city and highlands developer Port Blakely Communities to allow a gas station in the community. Concerns about possible groundwater contamination led city officials to ban gas stations in the highlands before construction on the neighborhood started in the mid-1990s.

Safeway outlined plans for a gas station to accompany a proposed highlands store, and city officials and gas station proponents said the rule change is a crucial step to attract the grocery chain. The gas station is proposed for a funnelshaped lot between Ninth Avenue Northeast and Highlands Drive Northeast, next to a future

Safeway.

The debate before the council decision exposed a split among highlands residents eager for more amenities in the community, and residents from elsewhere concerned about potential groundwaSee GAS, Page A5

Kristina Tsai bathes a dog Oct. 7 at a King County animal shelter after it was seized during an "animal hoarding" investigation Oct. 6.

King County animal control officers seized 62 dogs from a Cougar Mountain home in Issaquah — and 38 more from a Burien home — Oct. 6 in a case investigators described as “animal hoarding.”

In a raid on the Burien house, King County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Regional Animal Services of King County officers discovered 38 ill Chihuahua, Japanese Chin and Pomeranian dogs in dirty crates. Then, investigators searched a house in the 5900 block of 189th Avenue Southeast on Cougar Mountain, about a mile south of Cougar Mountain Zoo. Veterinarians later euthanized nine dogs from the Burien house

due to poor health. The day after the raids, veterinarians euthanized another dog due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Investigators said the animals from the Issaquah house appeared to be in good health and housed in clean crates, although the condition of the house prompted animal control officers to take the dogs into custody.

“This is a very sad situation,” Glynis Frederiksen, Regional Animal Services of King County interim manager, said in a statement. “Most of the dogs had fur matted with dirt and other debris, some had eye problems and several were in need of dental care. Our officers and volunteers have done an excellent job in taking care of

Fire Station 72 public art reflects environmental theme

design process,’” Liljequist said.

The team behind the facility also learned lessons from EFR Station 73 in the highlands. In 2003, the highlands station became the inaugural LEED Silver fire station in the United States.

“Comparing Station 72 and Station 73 is like — I probably shouldn’t say it quite like this — it’s kind of like comparing my old 1990 Miata with a brand-new, top-of-the-line BMW,” Liljequist said. “I’m not saying that from a cost standpoint. I’m saying that from a performance standpoint.”

Designers incorporated waterless urinals in Station 73, but the fixtures proved difficult to clean, so Station 72 planners opted for rainwater urinals. The fixtures use a pint of rainwater per flush.

Rainwater is collected in a metal cistern — maximum capacity: 8,700 gallons — outside the station.

Maintenance is simple due to the polished concrete floors throughout the facility. The station lacks carpet to collect dust or other contaminants.

“Building ‘green’ isn’t as hard as I thought it would be,” Collins said.

Kevin Charap, operations manager for Northwest Wind & Solar, a contractor on the project, said planners set lofty targets for energy efficiency.

“They really tried to maximize the available roof space with a solar array,” he said. “In a lot of situations, either a customer’s budget or a smaller ratings target is what’s driving the target.”

‘This is a community resource’ Firefighters started to operate from the building in August.

Citizens toured the facility during a public open house Oct. 8.

“Everything we’re hearing from

Throughout the year, as Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72 rose from a barren patch on the Issaquah Transit Center site, artist Perri Lynch headed east from Seattle to observe the construction.

The longtime artist sought ideas for a public art piece commissioned for the station. The result is a series of flexible ribbons affixed to the façade of the completed building. Lights behind the ribbons illuminate the ribbons and radiate after sunset.

“The overall concept behind the work is this relationship between order and chaos, and how emergency and crisis interrupt the rhythm of our lives,” she said. “I wanted the artwork to reflect the stability but also the nimbleness that we all need.”

The artwork — and the $47,000 price tag — raised eyebrows among City Council members in June, although the council later approved funds for the piece.

Under city code, one-half of 1 percent of the initial $5 million in a project budget — plus one-quarter of 1 percent of the amount

the firefighters is that it looks like it was designed around what the firefighters need — the workspaces, the sleeping areas, the flow of the building — we’re just getting great reviews from the firefighters,” Soptich said.

Firefighter Mark Eastwood said Station 72 is a major upgrade from the old facility — a mobile home and a garage designed to last for a few years and instead used for more than a decade.

The facility is “much better than being in a doublewide mobile home and a garage,” he said.

Station 72 also started to attract interest from other fire departments before crews completed construction. The project is designed as a showcase for energy efficient and “green” elements.

“Most of the time in the fire service, rarely do we have an original thought,” Soptich said. “It’s usually, ‘Hey, I saw something I liked over here and I saw something else over here, and let’s incorporate both of

exceeding $5 million — is required to be used for public art.

The city initially set aside $32,000 for Station 72 public art.

In addition, the municipal Arts Commission recommended another $10,000 in public art funding for the project.

The additional $5,000 in costs resulted because the artist changed the piece to incorporate more “green” materials. The resin used in the piece is 40 percent preconsumer recycled plastic.

“It was a great opportunity to design artwork in keeping with the larger values of the project,” Lynch said. “I love the ecological underpinnings of the station. That influenced the materials that I used.”

The untitled piece uses energy from the solar array on the rooftop to power the LED strips.

“So often, public art is brought in at the end of a major project.

Often, you can tell — to the detriment of the architecture and the art,” Lynch said. “In this case, I had the opportunity to design as the station was taking shape, and that makes a huge difference.”

those in ours.’ Then, that kind of becomes the new standard.”

The project is due to receive some international attention in late October, as a contingent from a firefighters conference in Seattle tours Station 72.

“This is a community resource,” Soptich said. “It’s one of the, what we think, showcase pieces of the city for a developing area.”

City Council members authorized design work on a replacement station in 2007. Issaquah residents pushed the replacement process along in November 2008, and passed a $4.5 million construction bond to build the facility.

Liljequist said important support for the project came from Mayor Ava Frisinger and council members.

“I couldn’t deliver a building like this — or zHome — without a mandate,” he added.

Joshua Schaer is not afraid to disagree TJ Filley aims to shift council’s priorities

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter On a City Council often united in 7-0 decisions, Joshua Schaer is the occasional outlier.

The councilman opposed a hike in cable rates, a redo along Newport Way Northwest and proposed changes to the same street near Issaquah Valley Elementary School. The opposition earned Schaer a grudging respect from council members — and a reputation for outspokenness.

“I’m not trying to be contrarian, and I’m not trying to be difficult, but you can’t have 7-0 votes on every issue,” he said.

Now, as a candidate for a second term on the council, Schaer highlights the no votes just as much as accomplishments. The councilman, 33, spearheaded a food-packaging ordinance to require restaurateurs and other food sellers to use compostable and recycle takeout containers and utensils.

The legislation is a signature issue as Schaer heads from door to door to greet potential supporters. Newcomer TJ Filley is the other candidate in the race for the Position 4 seat.

“I can’t take credit for the original idea, because it started in a lot of cities. Portland has been doing it for 20 years. Cities in California have been doing it for many years. Seattle was really the model that I looked at,” Schaer said. “If it can work in Seattle with the size of that city, then certainly it can work in Issaquah, where we are leaders in environmental preservation and sustainability.

To be the first city on the Eastside to do this, I think, is a tremendous accomplishment.”

The measure caused some heartburn among business leaders, and the rollout continues to

face difficulties almost a year after the ordinance took effect.

Still, Schaer said the ordinance is a milestone for a city focused on sustainability.

“The next Joshua Schaer step for us, I think, is making sure we inch that compliance rate higher,” he said. “We’ve been very patient and the goal has been not to be heavy handed, but at some point it’s unfair to the businesses that are complying and going through the process of specializing their products and providing the right containers and so forth.”

Schaer leads the Council Transportation Committee — the panel responsible for road and pedestrian projects throughout Issaquah.

The slow-to-materialize Interstate 90 Undercrossing is a major accomplishment, he said.

The north-south road near the Issaquah Post Office opened to motorists late last year.

“I pushed very hard to make sure we could get that project open,” he said. “Now, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not complete and there are still phases of the project that need to be done.

Anyone who drives on 221st from the car wash to the intersection there can tell the road is not in the best condition. There is a lot of work still to be done, but just getting it open and being able to take traffic off of East Lake Sammamish Parkway and improve that internal circulation” benefits Issaquah commuters.

But another link across the interstate is a potential headache

for Schaer and other city leaders.

The $6.2 million pedestrian and bicyclist connector at state Route 900 opened July 1, late and over budget. Filley has made the pedestrian connector a major issue in the race.

“We have the benefit of hindsight now, after seeing the final scope, after seeing the final cost,” Schaer said. “If we knew now what we knew then, and the real cost to the city in all of this, perhaps we would have studied it more closely.”

Transportation Committee members referred the project to the complete council in 1-1 decision. Councilman Fred Butler agreed and then-Councilman David Kappler dissented; Schaer did not vote.

The city contributed $354,000 to complete the connector. Federal and Sound Transit dollars covered the remainder.

“By the time it came back to the council, I then learned that we essentially had two choices: take it or leave it,” Schaer said. “If we left it, that money was going to go elsewhere. It was going to go to one of our neighboring cities.”

Still, despite the dustup related to the connector, Schaer said most residents approve of how the City Council handles municipal affairs.

“I want make sure that Issaquah stays a livable community,” he said. “In fact, it’s the No. 1 thing that I’m hearing from residents as I go around doorbelling and talking to folks. We need to keep it a beautiful place to live, a safe place to live, and retain the feel and the character of the city that’s so important to all of us.”

Suzanne Weaver focuses on DECISION students as board member 2011

By Tom Corrigan Issaquah Press reporter During her four years on the job, Issaquah school board member and Sammamish resident Suzanne Weaver said that the board has done a worthy job of keeping its focus on student achievement and success.

“It’s work that I enjoy and I want to continue doing it,” Weaver said of serving on the board.

Holding the District 5 seat, Weaver is being challenged in the November elections by Issaquah resident Brian Neville.

District 5 includes the northwest corner of Issaquah around Lake Sammamish as well as parts of the city of Sammamish. Although board candidates run for a specific geographic seat, voters from across the district cast ballots for all Issaquah school board members. Members are elected to fouryear terms.

Board members may request pay of $50 per meeting, but the current board has chosen not to accept that money, according to Sara Niegowski, district executive director of communications.

Even as she praised the district for keeping students center stage in a time of massive financial distractions, Weaver said leaders need to deal with those financial hurdles.

“It’s frustrating,” Weaver said.

“Every time we start to deal with an issue and make some headway, we suddenly have to figure a way to pay for it.”

As one example, Weaver pointed to discussions about closing the achievement gap that historically has affected minority students, adding that is an issue that is not going to just go away. But, again, neither are financial constraints.

“I don’t think Olympia is going to make it easier any time soon,” Weaver added regarding school finances.

While at least one board member expressed concern the public may perceive that school officials have been aiming too high regarding capital improvements, Weaver doesn’t think that is the case.

“I think our community has high standards,” Weaver said, adding that is exactly is as it should be.

While completed reconstruction has been getting some attention, Weaver said work at Issaquah High School came in under budget.

“It’s a beautiful facility,” she said, stating quality does not cost that much more than serviceable and probably saves the district money in the long run.

She added the school serves more than one purpose for the community, but obviously, especially students.

“It’s not just reading, writing and arithmetic … I think we got a lot of bang for our buck,” she said.

Weaver’s website lists what she believes to be some of her accomplishments since joining the school board.

The hiring of Superintendent Steve Rasmussen in July 2008 tops the list.

Other achievements claimed include the repurposing of dollars to pay for expansion work at Issaquah and Skyline high schools.

That work allowed the district to revamp the Pacific Cascade campus into a full-fledged middle school, relieving what Weaver describes as crowding at other facilities.

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The connector across Interstate 90 at state Route 900 — a $6.2 million bridge to carry bicyclists and pedestrians across the highway — looms large on the landscape and in newcomer TJ Filley’s campaign for a City Council seat.

The city relied on federal and Sound Transit dollars, plus about $350,000 in municipal funds, to complete the project. The connector opened to traffic July 1 after construction delays and cost overruns.

“When I first saw the bicycle and pedestrian overpass over on 90 being built, I originally thought, ‘Gee, they’re going to do something to make it so that traffic isn’t quite so bad around here,’” Filley said. “Then, after a couple months of them working on it, it started to become apparent what it was.”

Intrigued, Filley, 48, started to research the project to determine the reasons behind the City Council decision to start construction.

“I started looking into the project more and more,” he said. “The more I looked into it, the less sense it made to me.”

The project is not so much the problem as the process, Filley said. If elected, he said he intends to change how the council prioritizes transportation projects.

“It’s not that I’m against having bicycle trails or pedestrian overpasses, but it’s more that I didn’t understand how a project like that was given preference over other projects when Issaquah has some notoriously bad traffic problems,” he said.

Instead, city leaders should focus on transportation projects designed to alleviate traffic in Issaquah, Filley said.

“I think that some effort needs

Issaquah are under the belief that the Issaquah City Council is in their best interests,” Filley said.

“It’s when they’re doing something that comes out and is obviously not the most important project in town, that all of the sudden people are going to say, ‘Wait a minute. We need to figure out what’s happening here and we need to fix the process.’”

The onus is on the council to vet such projects — and citizens should be able to trust the board to make informed decisions, Filley said.

“They don’t want to have to micromanage their City Council,” he said. “They want the City Council to make sure that they are performing the priorities.”

The campaign for the Position 4 seat — the only contested race among four council positions up for election — is also creating a discussion about economic development in the city.

“I want to help ensure that those who want to develop in Issaquah have clear, consistent, predictable rules so that they can accurately estimate what their costs are going to be, what their ROI is going to be for when they want to develop in this town,” Filley said.

The council can create a system to encourage businesses to relocate to or set up in Issaquah in the years ahead, he said.

“The primary job of a City Council is to create policy,” Filley continued. “The passion that I have is that I want to help Issaquah change their policies to industry-best practices for management of their portfolios. I want to make sure the taxpayers are getting the maximum value possible out of the taxpayer dollars.”

to be put into remediating traffic on Front Street,” he continued.

“I don’t know exactly what that needs to look like, but that’s something that is a TJ Filley major problem for Issaquah. It is the bottleneck for getting anybody down into Olde Town.”

The council should also focus on using city dollars to complete high-priority projects, rather than relying on outside funds to complete lower-priority projects, such as the pedestrian connector, Filley said.

“That doesn’t mean bringing in additional taxpayer dollars from outside the city and trying to maximize the total dollars spent in the town,” he added. “It means making sure the projects that are most important to people that live here are the projects that are actually getting done.”

In November 2009, Council Transportation Committee members — Councilman Fred Butler, then-Councilman David Kappler and Filley’s opponent, Councilman Joshua Schaer — considered the pedestrian connector, but did not issue a recommendation to the council about how to proceed.

The project reached the council again in December 2009. Former Councilwoman Nancy Davidson and Getting Around Issaquah Together member Karen Behm urged council members to accept the grant, but nobody from the public spoke against the project.

The council accepted a grant for the project in a 6-1 decision. Only Kappler dissented.

“There wasn’t a major outcry because most of the people of

An accountant by trade, Brian Neville grew up in Issaquah and earned his advanced degree at the University of Washington.

“I’m deeply connected to the community,” he said.

Neville spent five years on the volunteer board of the Seattlebased nonprofit Community for Youth. The group’s aim is to help struggling or at-risk high school students. Neville said he hopes to continue his service to young people but wanted to find an opportunity on the Eastside. That was when he decided to try for the local school board.

“I want to just jump in and do something impactful,” Neville said, adding he has three priorities regarding Issaquah schools.

The capital improvement bond voters are being asked to approve in April makes the top of the list.

The current board originally planned to run the bond issue in February, but the citizen committee promoting the bond asked for more time to convince voters.

Neville said he believes the board and other school officials need to do a good job of selling the need for the bond to the public. Neville noted a major school operating levy expires in two years and he said that fact needs more discussion than it has received. He said the district can’t afford to ask voters for too much.

“We can’t go to the well too often,” he said, adding that the expiring operating levy accounts

for one-fourth of district revenues.

The levy may be even bigger than previously contemplated. At the same time they moved the bond issue to April, school board members also took some items out of the bond package. The idea is to put some before voters as part of a 2014 levy package.

Other issues on Neville’s mind include revamping how the district completes teacher evaluations and optimizing student curriculum. He described the first issue as a “very tricky thing.” The current board has discussed the issue, Neville said, but he added that discussion needs to be revived and expanded.

Regarding the curriculum of Issaquah schools, Neville said he doesn’t see any particular problem. But he also feels there is always a potential for improve-

ment.

Overall, Neville wasn’t highly critical of the current board or school administrators. But he said he doesn’t like the idea of people running unopposed for political office, arguing that competition is a good thing for the district and for voters.

District 5 includes the northwest corner of Issaquah around Lake Sammamish as well as parts of the city of Sammamish. Although board candidates run for a specific geographic seat, voters from across the district cast ballots for all Issaquah school board members. Members are elected to four-year terms.

Board members may request pay of $50 per meeting, but the current board has chosen not to accept that money, according to Sara Niegowski, district executive director of communications.

OPINION

Complex school bond will challenge voters PRESS E DITORIAL

T

he Issaquah School Board has postponed the vote for a school bond from February until April, at the request of the campaign committee. It was the right decision. It will take every minute from now until April to convince voters that this $219 million bond should be approved — or not.

Heading the list of controversies will be the $82 million to rebuild Clark Elementary and Issaquah Middle schools so the two student populations can then switch places. At the same time, Tiger Mountain Community High School, home to about 100 students, will also be relocated — another $3.9 million.

Then, there is the $13.1 million for the reconstruction and improvements of the football stadiums at Skyline, Liberty and Issaquah high schools. Voters will have to decide if more and covered bleacher seats are a priority.

The district is recommending a change to artificial-turf fields and rubberized running tracks at the five middle schools, at $1.3 million per school. Girls won’t be left out — two softball fields will also get artificial turf, two for under $1 million.

Sunny Hills Elementary School will get a rebuild for $27 million while Apollo and Issaquah Valley elementary schools will each get about $7-8 million for their remodels. Of course, the schools will then be energy efficient, so some savings are in store down the road. The rebuilds/remodels will also add capacity for about 500 students, spread out among four schools.

The school board did decrease the superintendent’s recommended bond by 3.7 percent, but only time will tell whether that is enough.

The five school board members struggled for months with the decision of what to ask of voters on this bond. Now it’s up to the voters to struggle with an even tougher question — are these the right priorities for our district and can property owners afford it?

Time will tell.

Some things in life just don’t make sense In the words of “60 Minutes” writer Andy Rooney, “some things just don’t make sense.”

So, in honor of him following his recent departure from the Sunday-evening news program, I’d like to pick up for the moment his curmudgeon mantle and mention some things that don’t make sense to me.

What is with the state beginning to even further track cold medicine purchases? I get that police don’t want us to mix up batches of meth at home in our kitchens or bathrooms. But keeping track of when I have a cold or how often my allergies act up seems like a waste of someone’s time and of taxpayers’ money. I have to show my driver’s license to make a purchase and I then get put into a database, and what will happen if the pollen is too heavy in any given season? Police will come bust down my door? Good grief.

When we get notices of students graduating from college, we often get ones that say a student got a general studies degree. What on earth does that mean? You can now study studying? What kind of job do you get with that degree?

And did you need to go to college for it? What are the required courses? What are the electives?

And how does the message “no dogs at Salmon Days” get missed by people every single year? It’s in our newspaper, our official program, in chamber of commerce emails, on websites and communicated in at least a dozen other different ways.

I didn’t get 20 feet into the boundaries of Salmon Days early Saturday morning before I saw the first dog of the dozens I would see Kathleen that day and I Merrill thought, “Don’t people Press managing editor pay attention? Do they just not care about their pets? Do they think their pets enjoy the event?”

(And that was the two-day event, not the parade, where pets were a legitimate part of the festivities.)

I saw several dogs that seemed distressed while I was there and I thought about how panicked my own German shepherd would be if I was uncaring enough of her feelings to drag her to such an event. I am proud of her; she’s a gorgeous dog. But dragging her through crowds of thousands of pushing and shouting people and crying babies is not something I would do. And I don’t know why other people do.

I witnessed a couple of dogs that got into an “argument” with each other that Saturday morning. And I heard there was a bigger dogfight at the fish hatchery.

Heck, I was about to bite people See SENSE, Page A5

Salmon Days

Festival is an unsafe environment for dogs Once again, Issaquah did itself proud with Salmon Days. Terrific volunteers, pride in who we are and what we do, and having the salmon to showcase doesn’t hurt.

The only blight on an otherwise fantastic weekend was the presence of all the dogs people bring to the festivities even after numerous pleas in this paper and the great inserts from the chamber of commerce concerning leaving your dog at home.

As a former professional canine training instructor, I’m appalled at the potential of injury for both dogs and people. Trying to negotiate the bridge over the hatchery with a doublewide stroller, two toddlers and two dogs on leashes is truly a recipe for disaster. Kids and dogs get stepped on, dogs show aggression (a major dogfight on Saturday on hatchery grounds) and well, the list goes on and on.

Please heed the advice and leave your pets at home unless the animals are truly assistance animals.

I am a resident of the Issaquah Highlands since 2004 and moved here because of the green community vision, reduction of dependency on a car, pedestrian friendly, etc.

We were promised a grocery store several years ago, but it never materialized and the community became disappointed, to say the least. Over the years, the reasons why the grocery store could not be built ranged from not having a large enough population to support a store, which never made sense to me, to the recession. Now, we need to build a gas station in

order to have a grocery store and cinema built.

The original development agreement prohibited a gas station because of the possible contamination to the aquifer. That is still a real concern no matter if the gas tanks are lined or not. The threat has not dissipated over time. If the aquifer became contaminated the cost of clean up would be unbearable to taxpayers, not to mention the environmental damage.

I would like to remind you of the Issaquah Highlands Guiding Principles on our website www.ihwebsite.com/Vision-&-Values~280574~18941.htm#Guiding. If the gas station is built it would be in direct conflict with a few of these principles, such as (1) Sustainability and Stewardship (2) Pedestrian friendly and (3) Contribute to the good of the region. We have plenty of gas stations within a one-mile radius of the Issaquah Highlands.

Issaquah Highlands states on its website this Living Green statement, “The choices we make affect the future of our planet, our neighborhoods and our way of life. Living Green is all about making choices that help us all ‘tread more lightly on the earth.’” I ask you, does building a gas station fit the Living Green mission?

We can choose a better way to live without building a gas station in the Issaquah Highlands.

Pornography at the library

Help spread the word to block unsafe content in public forum I’ve always bragged to family and friends living elsewhere that our King County Library System has the broadest range of materials I’ve come across in a public library, with an easy searchable online database. What more could you want?

How about safety for women and children?

At the busy Issaquah branch, my 12-year-old and I were recently exposed to several images of hardcore pornography while talking with the reference librarian. (I’ll exclude a description as I don’t want more people exposed to it and I doubt it’s printable.)

With the XXX images just feet from where we stood and right next to a child playing a computer game, I asked if viewing pornography was allowed. The response was that KCLS does “not filter online content or censor patrons’ viewing of materials” that: 1) we block on our home computers and TV, 2) our schools filter and 3) are considered child sex abuse by child advocates.

I’ve spoken to countless KCLS patrons and not one knew of this open policy; all were equally shocked and appalled. The response was the same from everyone I ranted to regardless of gender, age, political or religious See LETTERS, Page A5

Police said a man at the Burien residence said most of the dogs belonged to him. In addition, he told investigators about additional dogs at the Issaquah house.

The investigation is ongoing.

The sheriff’s office has not yet arrested anyone in the case, although misdemeanor or felony charges could ensue.

“Our first concern is the health and well-being of the dogs, so all of them are being checked out and treated at local veterinary offices,” said Debra George, Burien’s Community Animal Resources Education Society director. “We want to thank everyone who helped out in this trying situation.”

The investigation into the Burien residence started after the sheriff’s office received a tip from Pasado’s Safe Haven, a nonprofit animal rescue organization in Seattle.

Gas: Supporters highlight safety FROM PAGE A1

ter contamination from gas station leaks.

Supporters said advances in safety measures and additional data about highlands geology minimize contamination concerns. Opponents said safety measures could fail and the data is incomplete.

Councilman Tola Marts said the decision to allow a gas station offered a chance to land a grocery store for the neighborhood.

“I saw a number of instances where Port Blakely and other businesses that they worked with got very close to getting a grocery store, and it always slipped through our fingers,” he said. “I believe that had it been possible for them to get a grocery store in the last two years without a gas station, they would have done so.”

John Shaw, consulting director of operations for Port Blakely, said Safeway considers a gas station as a basic — and non-negotiable — feature for a highlands store.

Councilwoman Stacy Goodman, a highlands resident, amended the measure to limit a gas station to open only as part of a grocery store.

“I’m not thrilled with a fuel station,” she said before the council decision. “I know a fuel station was not envisioned as part of the Issaquah Highlands urban village, but Issaquah Highlands needs a grocery store. That land up there has been vacant for way too long.”

Geology ‘is a lot more complicated’ The agreement between the city and Port Blakely fills a 4-inch binder. The thick document outlines rules for the highlands and, until the council decision, banned a gas station in the neighborhood.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 •

The original pact between city officials and Port Blakely executives prohibited a gas station due to concerns about contamination to the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer, a major drinking water source. (The city purchases water for highlands residents from the Cascade Water Alliance.)

“That was back in 1995, and what we know today is that the geology in Issaquah Highlands, underneath the surface of Issaquah Highlands, is a lot more complicated than what was described in the environmental documents that were produced for that project,” Keith Niven, city Major Development Review Team program manager, told council members.

The changes in understanding — and updated safety features for underground tanks — prompted officials to rethink the ban.

Officials learned more about highlands geology from a 2004 landslide. Before the landslide, storm water from the highlands entered the ground near the current Swedish/Issaquah hospital campus. Geologists said the site acted as a sort of pipe down to the aquifer.

However, geologists and municipal officials later realized aquatards — impermeable soil layers — caused some storm water to flow horizontally out of the highlands, too, and contributed to the landslide.

Safeway offers safety reassurances Some gas station opponents said that regardless, such a facility in the highlands poses a risk for groundwater contamination.

“This is a complex geology up there,” Cougar Mountain resident Mary Lynch said. “We know that.

We’ve had problems with storm water runoff. We still don’t know what caused some of those in the past. We still don’t understand all of our wells.”

Jeff Parker, a Safeway real estate manager, said no major spills have occurred at the company’s gas stations. Safeway uses double-walled tanks nestled inside fiberglass cladding, he said. Tanks also include sensors to monitor for leaks.

“These tanks are considered the safest tanks available,” Parker told council members. “Our sys-

tem monitors those tanks 24/7/365, and gives notification onsite and to our Safeway maintenance department, and is able to provide a quick response.”

Some gas station proponents turned around the environmentrelated argument on detractors.

“A gas station will reduce air pollution and reduce congestion by eliminating the need for people heading to the highlands to swing off the freeway, go through downtown Issaquah, get gas here and go on up,” Bill Frisinger, Mayor Ava Frisinger’s husband, said at the hearing. “Congestion is a problem and anything that can reduce that ought to be given serious consideration.”

(The mayor only casts a vote on council decisions in order to break a tie.)

The council amended the development agreement in the past to open land for additional development and, in October 2009, to allow Swedish Medical Center to install underground fuel tanks for emergency generators, despite similar concerns about groundwater contamination. (Swedish/Issaquah opened in July.)

The council considered gas station legislation in December 2009, but Port Blakely executives pulled the bill at the last minute. The earlier proposal — billed as legislation for a high-tech “energy station” — differed from the recent legislation, although officials said a highlands gas station could offer ethanol or electric-vehicle charging stations.

The discussion denoted the latest clash in a long and contentious debate about development in the highlands.

Chris Hawkins, a highlands resident, leveled blunt remarks against people opposed to the gas station.

“You are just inexorably against any kind of progress up in the highlands, whether it’s a shopping center, Microsoft, I mean, you are just against it,” he said.

“You lost some sort of political battle back in the mid-’90s and you have been holding development up there hostage ever since.”

Finally, I want to know what federal officials are thinking in not protecting our kokanee salmon.

Do they figure we’re already working to remedy them being extinct, so we’re on our own? That they don’t want to spend money on the problem?

It’s disgusting the amount of money this country throws away on all kinds of programs and things that don’t seem to matter much in the grand scheme of things, but the feds will let these fish disappear from the planet for good and that’s OK? Now that just doesn’t make sense to me.

In a recent Issaquah Press article, KCLS reported 87 percent of county citizens have home computers. With pornographic movies, videos and printed materials readily available, what place does pornography have in the center of our communities?

The King County Council chose April 2011 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month with a call to “all county residents to work together to eliminate cases of sexual assault.” Parents, beware.

Marathon mom

Sammamish resident juggles career, raising kids and running extreme distances

By Patti Enos All Jennifer “Jenn” Hughes wants is to be a good mom, run a 100K race and manage a successful business.

Hughes is a Sammamish woman who juggles many ambitions while she stays organized, focused and energized on the trails ahead.

“I am inspired to live life as fully as I can,” she said as a huge smile extended across her face.

The 2000 University of Washington graduate worked in the Nordstrom Corporate office in marketing after graduation. But when her son was born, Colin, now 4, Hughes changed direction to allow more time to focus on motherhood, running long distances and finding an outlet for the many ideas that keep developing in her mind.

“I have to laugh,” she said. “I spent most of the day yesterday working on my laptop from my son’s mini kid table while he played trains. I find a way to get it all done.”

Hughes is considered an ultra runner, an individual who participates in an event that involves a distance longer than a 26.2-mile marathon. Have you noticed a petite woman who pulls a tire behind her as she runs the steep hills of the Issaquah Highlands?

That’s her.

“It’s an old weight belt with two poles that attaches to a big car tire and drags on the ground. Greg built it for me,” explained the 5foot, 2-inch dynamo.

Greg Manciagli is the significant man in her life. He understands the rigorous training required because he is an ultra runner, too.

“I try to manage my own expectations,” Hughes said. “If I don’t feel like running at some point, I will stop and walk and try not to feel disappointed.”

In the wee hours of the morning or late at night, Hughes wears a headlamp to run local area trails in the darkness in order to accumulate the recommended number of miles.

“When I head out for my daily run, I use it an as opportunity to hit ‘refresh’ on my active life,” she said. “Running gives me the opportunity to reconnect with myself. When I return home, often problems are resolved and worries are dissolved.”

Her intense running schedule was due to the challenges she placed on herself when she signed up for an ultra-marathon in August. Although she has completed 50K- and 50-mile races, Hughes maneuvered through extreme terrain in the Waldo 100K, a 20,000-

By David Hayes Issaquah Press reporter

Community replenishes local food banks On Sept. 17, nearly 400 men, women and children walked door to door to collect food for the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank.

The daylong effort produced 3,000 pounds of food, a substantial amount of nonperishable items to assist those in need at a time when inventory was critically low.

“We were told that need had risen by nearly 50 percent,” said Robert Johnson, president of the Bellevue South Stake that encompasses 10 Latter-day Saints congregations on the Eastside, and three in the Issaquah area. “We had to do something.”

Johnson chose to have a food drive for the second year in a row and gave coordinator Daric Schweikart a lofty goal.

“He challenged me to double the results from last year,” explained Schweikart, an executive with a local technology company.

Schweikart encouraged the congregations to pick the food bank, work with local stores and even other churches to spread the word.

“We saw strangers come together, homeowners graciously leaving food on the doorstep for pickup and groups that we’d never worked with before jumping in to help,” Johnson said.

The final tally was 40 percent more food than last year.

“We are going to try and double it again next year,” Johnson said.

“When the community comes together to serve one another, regardless of what they believe or don’t believe, we can do anything.”

The Eastside’s Month of Concern for the Hungry to benefit the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank runs through Oct. 22. Get information about the items wanted at http://issaquahfoodbank.org.

One of the staples of the Christian Science religion is its reading room.

Usually, it’s a quiet atmosphere that lends to the pursuit of thoughtful prayer, studying Bible lessons, reading Christian literature or

investigating the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist.

With the church located on 238th Way Southeast, leaders have long had to rent out space in Issaquah for a reading room to serve its congregation of fewer than 200.

However, Issaquah’s last reading room did-

n’t have an ideal location for its intended pursuits in the Brandt Building on Front Street, not with its neighbor — The Kaleidoscope School of Music — pursuing its intended purpose.

“There were rock classes and drum lessons going on all the time in our old location,” librarian Chris Fisher said.

In addition, the room was located deep within the building away from the bustle of Front Street, keeping its activities unknown to those who might have used it.

“I had someone say to me they’d lived in Issaquah for years and didn’t know we had a reading room,” Fisher said.

The new reading room opened in August in its new location at 415 Rainier Blvd. N., a more inviting location, literally — across the street from the “Welcome to Issaquah” sign.

Issaquah Christian Science Church manager Virginia Harris said they purchased the property in October 2008. She added some community members were sad to see the original house, built there in 1917 by the J.J. Lewis family, go.

“We still have the original garage and kept the footprint,” Harris said. “And the design kept a resemblance to the old Craftsman-style home, with its big fireplace and bay windows.”

To give the new reading room that consistent Pacific Northwest feel, the church enlisted the services of architect Nils Finne.

foot-elevation-gain course in Central Oregon.

The Waldo 100K Ultramarathon is a challenging 100K loop-type course starting at Willamette Pass Ski Area (70 miles east of Eugene, Ore.) at elevation 5,120. The route climbs several mountains, including Fuji, The Twins and Maiden Peak, before returning to the ski area.

The next goal she began is the launch of a start-up business with Manciagli.

“Greg is a co-owner and helps with many of the behind-thescene tasks so that I can focus on other areas,” she said. “He believes in me and in our business.

It’s nice to have someone have your back.”

Hughes was bored with solid color options in running attire.

Their company, Run Pretty Far, produces brightly colored athletic wear with inspirational messages for female athletes.

The couple prepared for months to develop their ideas into a performance apparel clothing line.

In April, they decided to take a leap of faith to leave their jobs and focus solely on the business.

Chatter on social media sites lauds Issaquah-based Costco Issaquah-based Costco is a favorite among social media users, according to a report from a social media analyst.

The report from Amplicate used opinions posted on social media, and concluded social media users offered more negative comments than plaudits about supermarkets during the past year.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. received much of the blame from social media users included in the report, but Costco ranked as the most-loved supermarket. People expressed a particular fondness for the warehouse club’s chicken, pizza and meal deals. Overall, 85

Colorado artist Darah Macres collaborates on the designs to create many styles for performance tank tops, T-shirts and other accessories.

“Run Pretty Far is much about helping women feel beautiful on their journey, whatever that may be,” Macres said. “Whether it is losing those pounds, training for a marathon or taking a stroll, it is an act of discipline and commitment. It is not always easy and not always a joy. But, while we are at it, we can feel comfortable, feel feminine and express ourselves with fashion while working hard out there.”

To promote their new products, Hughes and Manciagli travel in a vintage motor home named Wilbur to marathon expos up and down the West Coast. This summer, the partners set up their booth at running events in Washington, Oregon, California and Utah.

The unique performance clothing has already caught the attention of Dimity McDowell Davis, Runner’s World contributor and co-author of “Run Like A Mother: How to Get Moving and Not Lose Your Family, Job or Sanity.”

“We’ve seen a lot of running fashions in our day, but we hadn’t ever seen anything like what she was wearing,” she said.

Of all the opinions posted about supermarkets in the United States, negative posts encompassed 54 percent. Users offered most of the negative feelings about experiences at Walmart stores. The largest grocery retailer in the United States also accounted for 73 percent of all opinions about grocery chains.

Though the report showed more supermarket detractors than fans exist, the fans wielded greater influence.

O BITUARIES

Donald Van Birdsall

Donald Van Birdsall “Don” or “Bird,” a beloved husband, father, brother, grandpa and “big papa,” passed away in his Rancho Mirage, Calif., home on MonDonald Birdsall day, Sept. 26, 2011.

Don was born Dec. 9, 1923, in Wells Bridge, N.Y., to William and Lucy Birdsall. He was one of six children: Pauline, Gladys, John, Charles, Donald and Howard. He is survived by the love of his life, Norma Coss Birdsall, from South New Berlin, N.Y., whom he married on Jan. 19, 1947. They were blessed with four beautiful children, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Don joined the United States Army/Air Force in Oct. 1942. He proudly served in the European theatre 8th Air Force, 448th Bomb Wing based out of Seething, England. He flew 30 missions.

On March 9, 1944, over Berlin, the German Luftwaffe hit his plane the “Bag O’ Bolts” with 400 20 mm. bullets, which knocked out two engines while the remaining two caught fire. The crewmembers who survived the attack were able to nurse the “Bag O’ Bolts” and maintain altitude across the English Channel on one engine that was on fire. To compound their problems the hydraulic system had also been taken out, leaving their brakes useless upon landing.

Don was considered one of the “Greatest Generation” heroes and was the last surviving member from the “Bag O’ Bolts” crew. He said there was never a day that went by that he did not think and pray for the crew that lost their lives defending this country he loved so much.

He was awarded five air medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Don also flew multiple missions supporting the Korean and

Vietnam wars.

After serving his country for 20 years, Don retired from the Air Force and went to work for The Boeing Co., as a senior flight instructor, where he worked for 18 years. On May 14, 2011, Don was inducted into the World War II “Wall of Honor” at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The military and commercial aircraft he crewed or instructed included the B-24, B-29, B-36, B-50, C-97, C-133, C-141, 707, 727 and 747.

After retirement, Don and his wife Norma moved to Hawaii to relax in the sunshine and live in “Paradise,” as he called it, and then subsequently to Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Don leaves behind his beloved wife of 64 years, Norma; his son David and wife Carla, of Rancho Mirage, Calif., and Seattle; son Steve, of Redmond; daughter Lorna and husband Paul Loveridge, of Issaquah; son Gregory and wife Kandi, of Honolulu, Hawaii; grandchildren Jennifer and husband Kyle Wallace, of North Bend, Michael, of Cleveland, Allison, of Issaquah, Donald James (D.J.), of Issaquah, Krysti Hollenbeck, of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Nicole, of Honolulu, Hawaii; great-grandchildren Jalyn and Bradyn; his brother John; sister Gladys; and many nieces and nephews.

Don was proud to be a friend of Bill W. for 37 years, and he touched, inspired and sponsored many others to become friends as well.

Don was the joy of our family and to the many friends he made along the way. We will forever miss his big heart and charismatic personality.

There will be a private military honors burial at Tahoma National Cemetery on Oct. 13. The family would like friends to join in a celebration of Don’s life at the Boeing Museum of Flight on Friday, Oct. 14, at noon in the View Room. The Museum of Flight is located at 9404 E. Marginal Way S., Seattle, Exit 158 off Interstate 5.

Donations can be made in memory of Don to the American Diabetes Association.

Robert Jeffrey Smith Robert Jeffrey Smith, age 34, died Oct. 3, 2011. We were not ready to say goodbye to our beloved son and our children’s brother.

Bob was Robert Smith born in Santa Monica, Calif., as a 3-pound preemie, but grew to be a strong man. He was an accomplished watercolor artist, trombonist and pianist. He had a passion for fishing and baseball.

Bob graduated from Washington State University, and worked

for Guy Carpenter and later in warehouse services. He was a wonderful son who was caring, thoughtful and compassionate to others. He considered himself to be the guardian of his sisters.

Bob is survived by his parents Roger and Bonnie Smith; sisters Kiri and Katie Smith; aunts and uncles Vicki and Jim Walch; Barbara and Doug Smith; and loving cousins and many friends.

A celebration of his life will be at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, at Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church, 22818 S.E. Eighth St., Sammamish.

Mel Strand went to be with his savior on Oct. 5, 2011.

Mel was born in Butte, Mont., to Olaf and Ruth Strand on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, Mel Strand 1935, the third born, with two brothers and three sisters.

A member of the United States Air Force, Mel served four years as a radar site technician during the Korean War. Mel met Donna, his wife of 54 years, on a blind date while stationed at Geiger Field in Spokane. Upon leaving the Air Force, Mel chose a career he loved in the trucking industry, retiring after 35 years as a safety supervisor for Consolidated Freightways.

Mel volunteered as chairman of the Washington State Truck Driving Championships for several years and continued to help for the remainder of his life. In recent years, an award has been given in his name to the driver who most exemplifies professionalism in the trucking industry.

Mel was a longtime member of Issaquah Christian Church and had a special place in his heart for residents of the Issaquah Care Center. Mel joined with other members to transport resi-

dents to and from services in a van that he purchased and outfitted to accommodate those in wheelchairs.

Mel enjoyed sharing his love of woodworking, fishing, boating and motorcycling with his family, especially with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Though he often tried to hide it, his sentimental nature had a way of shining through. Mel was a very generous and hardworking man throughout his life.

Mel will be missed by his wife Donna; sons Wade (Lori) and Greg (Jodi); daughters Jeannine Liston (John) and Amy Trost (Justin).

Grandpa will also be missed by his grandchildren Jessica Zeising (Lance); Caitlin, Garrett and Kendall Strand; Haley, Nettie and Riley Strand; Christopher, Kyle and Colette Liston; Jake and Henry Trost; and great-grandchildren Dylan, Cody and Parker Zeising.

Operation Bald Eagle seeks fan support at Eastlake homecoming

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter If you’re headed to watch the Issaquah Eagles take on the Eastlake Wolves Oct. 14, be sure to look out for members of the Army and Marines in their Humvees.

The service members will be at the game to help garner support for Operation Bald Eagle, a Sammamish-based organization that supports military families and those who have lost a loved one in the line of duty.

Jeff Mitchell, the founder, and Dr. Mark Nelson’s Sammamish office staff will collect basic school supplies for military families, as well as general supplies for care packages, which they will send to troops overseas. Operation Bald Eagle will also conduct a raffle for a chance to win an iPad. The goal is to supply about 150 families at Fort Lewis with enough pencils, paper, notebooks, backpacks, etc., to offset the cost of buying them all themselves, Mitchell said.

“We want to deliver to them 150plus backpacks that are supplied with all that in them,” he said.

Mitchell and the military members will be there throughout the game, but plan to announce the raffle winner in the third quarter.

ON THE WEB Find Operation Bald Eagle on Facebook and Twitter or go to www.operationbaldeagle.org.

To add competition to the collection, the visiting Issaquah football team and families will attempt to out-collect the organization, which will have a table at Eastlake High school stadium.

Operation Bald Eagle started in 2009 to help families who lost a loved one in the line of duty — military, fire or police — pick up the pieces in life, Mitchell said.

The organization remains in relationship with a given family for up to three years after the incident, helping the family in a longer-term grieving process.

For example, in the aftermath of Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton’s death in 2009, Operation Bald Eagle worked with his family, eventually providing a horse and horse-training sessions for his daughter, Mitchell said. It proved to be a key influence in the young girl’s emotional recovery, he said.

Virginia Harris (left), Issaquah Christian Science Church manager, and Chris Fisher, reading room librarian, stand before the stone fireplace, one of the new facility’s main features.

Room FROM PAGE B1

“We’d seen what he did, liked his Northwest look and style,” Harris said. “He completed the vision and we let him do what he does best.”

What he did was design a 1,500-foot open space, with a large, wooden beam traversing the length of its soaring, A-frame ceiling. With no interior walls, other than in the back separating the librarian’s office from the reading areas, there are no obstructions to block the natural light that flows into the space from the wall-to-wall windows and skylights.

Drawing the eye to the exterior is the reflection pool, signifying the welcoming calm awaiting visitors inside.

Fisher said the reading room has audio and visual materials to check out and to purchase. And a rear wall has back issues of the church’s Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Monitor dating back to the turn of the century.

“I have computer catalogs of all the old magazines,” Fisher said.

“Sometimes I love to look up a topic and find an article written 10, 20 or 30 years ago and just be amazed how what was written then still applies today.”

She added that the room is open to everyone, whether

IF YOU GO Christian Science Reading Room 415 Rainier Blvd. N. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday christianscienceiss@gmail.com

they’re interested in religious source material or just looking for a quiet spot to flip through the local paper before heading to work.

Fisher works only part time at the new location — volunteers staff it the remainder of hours it’s open. They’re looking to expand hours once a week and on the weekends for those who can utilize the room only after they get off work.

The reading room proved to be a popular destination first during Art Walk and then Salmon Days, when Harris estimates more than 200 visitors stopped in.

So far, the comments have been nothing but positive, especially with its central location on Front Street down the road from another downtown landmark.

“Someone said with the library at one end of Front Street and us at the other, it’s like natural bookends,” Fisher said.

HEALTH

Health agency urges parents to take Swedish/Issaquah offers ambulatory infusion center, services to Eastside residents whooping cough prevention measures State health officials said whooping cough, or pertussis, is a serious concern as infants contract the disease at a much higher rate than other people.

The rate of whooping cough in babies is almost 10 times greater than the combined rate of all people of all ages statewide. The state Department of Health said 58 infants younger than 1 received whooping cough diagnoses in 2011. The total includes 22 infants hospitalized for whooping cough and two babies that died from the disease.

“Whooping cough is a serious illness, especially for babies who are too young to be vaccinated,” Dr. Maxine Hayes, state health officer and pediatrician, said in a statement. “Older kids and adults can help protect babies by getting the pertussis vaccine. By being vaccinated, close contacts of infants create a protective ‘cocoon’ for newborns and infants who can’t yet be vaccinated or have not completed their initial vaccine series.”

Pertussis is highly contagious and spreads easily from person to person through coughing and sneezing. The disease causes coughing spells so severe that it is difficult for infants to eat, drink or even breathe. Pertussis can lead to

WHAT TO KNOW Learn more about whooping cough and preventing it from Public Health – Seattle & King County at www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/communicable/ diseases/pertussis and the state Department of Health’s Immunization and CHILD Profile at www.doh.wa.gov/cfh/Immunize. Or call 360-236-3595. The state agency maintains a weekly pertussis update to track cases statewide.

pneumonia, seizures and even death.

Older children and adults may experience milder symptoms than babies, and may mistake the condition for a cold or persistent cough.

Health officials recorded 431 cases of whooping cough from 26 counties — up from 378 cases by the same time last year.

The pertussis vaccine, Tdap, is available for adolescents and adults through age 64. Health officials urge pregnant women to get vaccinated, as well as health care

workers of all ages who come into contact with infants. Moreover, people of all ages should get immunized if they have close contact with a baby.

Most people receive a series of pertussis vaccines as children, but the protection wears off over time.

The state Department of Health recommends people substitute a Tdap vaccine for a routine tetanus booster. Only one Tdap vaccine is recommended in a person’s lifetime.

The initial symptoms of pertussis resemble the common cold — sneezing, runny nose, a low-grade fever and a mild cough. Then, within two weeks, the cough can become severe and can develop into coughing spells followed by a high-pitched whoop.

Infected people can spread the disease from the start of the symptoms until three weeks after the coughing episodes start, although antibiotics can reduce the contagious period.

People suffering from a severe cough, especially if it includes fits of coughing or causes vomiting, should seek medical care. In addition, they should stay away from babies, young children and pregnant women until tested and treated for pertussis.

By David Hayes Issaquah Press reporter Ken Morgan, 76, has kept active since bilateral knee replacement surgery in both legs in 2007.

In fact, he had just planned his latest fishing Ken Morgan excursion on July 22. However, the week before, on the 13th, he caught a fever, checked into the hospital on the 15th with a mysterious infection in his knee and was in for surgery on the 16th.

Afterward, his physician placed Morgan on a six-week course of daily antibiotics, which needed to be given intravenously, or through infusion.

Morgan, a 1953 graduate of Issaquah High School, has lived just south of Issaquah since 1993. He was starting daily, lengthy trips to Seattle for his infusions.

Luckily, the new Swedish/Issaquah hospital had just launched its Ambulatory Infusion

Center.

“I felt fortunate that it just opened,” Morgan said. “I was dreading have to drive every day for seven weeks to Seattle.”

have the ability to administer the type of infusions and therapy Morgan received.

“What’s unique to Issaquah is it’s for the Eastside population,” she said. “Now they don’t have to go across the bridge to get their therapy.”

The Ambulatory Infusion Center provides a comfortable setting for patients, reminiscent of a day spa, Kirkham said, to receive treatments, including: Infusion therapy Blood transfusions Administration of antibiotics and other medications Hydration therapy, also available to pregnant patients Anemia management Drug therapies for multiple sclerosis, lupus, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and autoimmune diseases Comprehensive care for organ transplant patients Diagnostic testing While Morgan may have been Swedish/Issaquah’s first patient to be treated by the staff of the Ambulatory Infusion Center’s staff, the facility itself was not open for his treatments. He had to receive those in the OB/GYN clinic. Brelin Rismiller, 32, was first patient to be treated in the center’s dedicated wing, which can treat up to six patients at a time.

Rismiller, a former Sammamish resident now living in Enumclaw, has been receiving intravenous fluids in two- to two-and-a-half-hour sessions twice a week since the center opened.

“I have g.i. issues — gastro paresis — that prevents me from keeping anything down,” she said.

Rismiller is also appreciative of having a facility closer to Enumclaw than Seattle.

“We’re able to offer extra TLC other than just hooking the patients up. Also, we’re there as an extra set of eyes and ears for the physicians.”

— Laurie Kirkham Swedish/Issaquah nurse

“It’s way faster to come here,” she said. “So we turn it into a party when I come.”

From the comfort of her recliner, Rismiller is also fitted with a Bair Hugger — an air mattress with warm air constantly blown through it to keep away chills.

“Best invention ever,” Rismiller said.

She added the experience is made all the more tolerable by the professional staff of dedicated nurses.

“We’re able to offer extra TLC other than just hooking the patients up,” Kirkham said. “Also, we’re there as an extra set of eyes and ears for the physicians.”

Morgan said he was grateful to have such a professional staff to look after his needs. Thanks to their care, he said, he came in with the aid of a walker, transitioned to two then one cane, and by the end, he walked out under his own power.

Now, he’s back to doing his favorite outdoor activities, including an upcoming trip to South Dakota with some buddies to go pheasant hunting.

“In a way, I’m happy this happened when it did,” Morgan said. “I don’t know what I would have done if I got this infection when I was on an outdoors trip and didn’t have access to a facility like Swedish’s.”

Officials enact statewide ban on dangerous ‘bath salts’ In a decision announced Oct. 3, state health officials banned the dangerous chemicals in socalled bath salts — dangerous substances used as substitutes for cocaine and methamphetamine.

The state Board of Pharmacy banned the sale, possession and use of products called Spice, K2, bath salts, plant food, Ivory Wave and White Lightening. The chemicals in the products mimic the effects of cocaine, Ecstasy, LSD and methamphetamine.

Users typically inhale the bath salts in a manner similar to snorting cocaine.

In April, the Board of Pharmacy adopted a temporary emergency ban on bath salts and later adopted a permanent ban.

The rule is due to go into effect

by Nov. 3.

The state ban gives clear authority to law enforcement agencies to prosecute people for the manufacture, distribution, sale and possession of bath salts.

Based on complaints and reports to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency from poison centers, hospital emergency rooms and law enforcement agencies, the DEA also announced a yearlong, nationwide ban.

Skyline’s attack too much for Issaquah

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter Considering it’s playing with virtually a whole new team this season, the Issaquah High School volleyball squad put up a good fight Oct. 6 against the improved Skyline Spartans.

Skyline, the host team, won 30 to improve to 7-2 overall and 3-2 in league play. It was the Eagles’ first loss to the Spartans in three meetings.

The Eagles finished with a little comeback in the third set that made things interesting. Otherwise Skyline dominated the match, using a number of attack options and scoring points with quick kills from standout Maddie Magee from the left side of the court.

“I think they have a lot of weapons,” Issaquah coach Todd Parsons said after the match.

“We played one of our better matches … and forced them to make kills on us.”

Skyline looked like a synchronized machine for much of the match.

Down the stretch in the third quarter, Issaquah relied on three straight Sam Rogers aces to bring the Eagles to within two points, with the score 18-16 Skyline. It eventually tied the game at 19 all, but Skyline went on a 6-1 run to close out the match.

Skyline had lost two in a row leading up to the Issaquah match

and was looking to get back on track to hold third place in KingCo Conference 4A behind Newport (5-0 league) and Roosevelt (6-0).

“Basically, we needed to take care of ourselves,” Skyline coach Callie Wesson said. “It was us playing Skyline volleyball.”

Magee dominated from the left side attack. She tallied 16 kills and 12 digs on the night. But perhaps her best stretch came in the first set, when she helped the Spartans score eight points in a row. Issaquah struggled to score early and managed 17 points in the first quarter.

Magee seemed happy with her performance.

“I felt it was really good,” she said after the match.

Madison Stoa, a senior setter, gave Magee most of those opportunities and finished with 27 assists and eight kills. Molly Mounsey got six kills and six blocks for Skyline.

“The team’s been working really hard,” Magee said. Issaquah had defeated Skyline the past two times they faced each other.

“We wanted this game bad. We knew we had to come out and take care of business.”

Skyline won the second set, 25-13, by shutting down Issaquah’s Rogers, Misty Siochi and Kirsten Fischer up front.

BY CHRISTOPHER HUBER

Misty Siochi, Issaquah High School senior outside hitter, tries to block a Skyline shot during the second set of the Eagles' volleyball match against the Spartans Oct. 6.

The Liberty High School girls soccer team has only dropped one game — its first — all season.

Since then, the Patriots have responded with nine straight victories. Liberty kept its streak alive Oct. 6 with a 3-0 victory against the Mount Si Wildcats. After beating Mount Si, first-year Patriots coach Jamie Giger had a message for her 9-1 team.

“It’s the second half of our season, and we knew we’ve already seen everybody once,” she said. “I told the girls we have an X on our back now. Everyone is going to be gunning for us.”

Shannon Daly, a senior who usually plays at the outside forward position, scored her first goal off of a corner kick only three minutes into the game.

Seven minutes later, Daly again found the back of the net on an unassisted goal, bringing the score to 2-0 at the half.

After limited playing time due to injury, the goals were Daly’s first of the season.

BY GREG FARRAR

Shannon Daly (5), Liberty High School senior midfielder, splits Mount Si defenders Leah Corra (10) and Taylor Duncan as she prepares to kick her second goal during the Oct. 6 soccer match.

“It was kind of fun for me because I haven’t played center midfield in a really long time,” she said. “Our main girl who plays central … she couldn’t play today so Jamie asked me how I would

feel about that. It feels great.

There’s nothing better than scoring. It’s the best feeling in the world.”

Kimi Fry slipped an additional goal through the fingertips of

Mount Si senior keeper Sophia Rockow in the final minute of the game.

Fry has three goals and five assists in the season.

It was the fifth shutout of the season for Liberty keeper Macaire Ament.

“Mount Si we know is always going to be a hard, very physical team,” Daly said. “We kept our heads, and the scoreboard says it all. Last year, we had a very good year, and we’ve continued to build on that.”

Mount Si coach Darren Brown said the two quick goals were momentum changers for the young Wildcats team.

“We kind of hurt ourselves by giving up two easy goals,” he said.

“We shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gates, which is something we didn’t really prep for. If you take away those two, we would have been in it.”

Liberty also won 3-0 in its first matchup with Mount Si on Sept.

13.

Giger said the Patriots cannot afford to get complacent and must push themselves in the second half of the season to finish strong.

“Our goal as a team is to get better every single game,” Giger said.

“Every single time we step on the See SOCCER, Page B7

Local football teams stampede past the overmatched competition

By Chris Huber and Bob Taylor Issaquah Press reporters The Issaquah and Liberty high school football teams each had a breather last week, but that should not be the situation Oct. 14 when each faces powerful league foes.

Issaquah, 5-1 in the season, plays at No. 2 ranked Eastlake, 60, in an important KingCo Conference 4A contest for both teams.

Liberty, 3-3, hosts 10th-ranked Mercer Island (4-2) in a key KingCo 3A/2A game.

Skyline meanwhile steps out of KingCo Conference 4A action for a nonleague homecoming encounter with Jackson.

ceiving records for Issaquah. This year, Reed is Issaquah’s main target.

On Oct. 7, Peterson caught three touchdown passes, one on a 83yard play, and also ran back a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown as the Eagles walloped host Redmond, 48-10.

“He has really stepped up. He is playing with a lot of confidence,” Issaquah coach Chris Bennett said. “It is not like he lived in the shadow of his older brother last season, because he played a lot.

His time is now. He is no longer a complementary guy. He is the guy.”

Like his older brother, who now plays at Linfield College in Oregon,

Reed has speed. Peterson showed it on the opening kickoff. It was the third time this season he has returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Peterson had six receptions in all for 174 yards.

Quarterback Ethan Kalin, who connected with Peterson for three touchdown passes, also hit Derek Chapman for a 17-yard score in the second quarter. Kalin completed 13 of 19 passes for 299 yards. Running back Jack Gellatly complemented the air game by rushing for 73 yards on 14 carries and one touchdown.

Defensively, lineman Eric Lemke had four sacks and Chapman picked off his fifth pass of the season.

Bennett admitted he was a bit nervous about the Redmond game, especially with Eastlake coming up.

“I was worried. Redmond is a better team than its record shows,” Bennett said. “When we scored those first two touchdowns, it looked like we were going to coast. Then, we got sloppy and had three turnovers. Fortunately, we got things going again late in the second quarter and in the second half.”

Bennett said the Eagles cannot afford to make mistakes against Eastlake.

“We had three fumbles in the first half against Redmond. We can’t do that against Eastlake, because they will make you pay for it,” Bennett said. “Eastlake is a very good team. They are big and physical up front. There is not a lot of trickery in their offense.

They just come at you. So far, no one has slowed them down.”

Running back Ryan Lewis, who has rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and has scored 14 touchdowns, is Eastlake’s big threat.

“He is faster than anyone we’ve seen this year. We have to make sure he does not get started, because once he is in the open, he is gone,” Bennett said.

Quarterback Keegan Kemp has nearly 1,000 yards of total offense this season.

“He is a super-athletic quarterback. They don’t ask him to do a lot in the throwing game, but he can. He can also hurt you running the ball as well,” Bennett said.

Liberty wallops Lake Washington Josh Gordon caught two touchdown passes and ran for a touchdown to spark Liberty to a 42-7 victory against host Lake Washington.

The Patriots’ defensive squad also scored two first-half touchdowns. Scott Dean returned an interception 17 yards for a touchdown, and Shane Small brought back an interception 55 yards for a score.

Because Liberty led 42-0 at halftime, game officials let the clock run throughout the second half as part of the mercy rule.

Gordon got Liberty on the scoreboard early in the first quarter with a 9-yard run. Then, after Dean scored, Gordon hauled in a pass from quarterback Jordan West for 55 yards and a touchdown. In the second quarter, Gordon and West hooked up for an 83-yard scoring bomb. After Small scored, Tei Staladi capped Liberty’s scoring on a 32-yard run.

“Josh had a big game and Jordan was pretty sharp, too,” Liberty coach Steve Valach said. “We got on Lake Washington early and the game got out of hand pretty quickly.”

Liberty now takes on one of the state’s most-improved programs in Mercer Island. The Islanders, for several years, have been near the bottom of the KingCo standings. However, this year, Mercer Island is 4-2 overall and 3-1 in league play.

“They are a good team. Mercer Island has some good players who took their lumps as sophomores and juniors. They are now reaping the benefits,” Valach said.

Mercer Island’s headliner is senior quarterback Jeff Lindquist, who is headed for the University of Washington. Lindquist has passed for 1,079 yards already this season and is also the Islanders’ leading rusher with 484 yards.

“He is a lot like Jake Locker,” said Valach, comparing Lindquist to the former University of Washington standout quarterback.

Liberty played against Locker when he was a senior at Ferndale High School in the state playoffs.

“Lindquist is big, fast and has a very strong arm. When things start to break down, that is when he is especially dangerous. He does a great job of scrambling out of the pocket,” Valach said.

Lindquist’s main receiver this season has been Connor Bernal.

“Mercer Island is a very good team. We will have to play to prevent them from making the big play. We will have to play our best game of the year,” Valach said.

Liberty enters the game with a

3-1 record and is tied with Mercer Island and Mount Si for second place in the KingCo 3A/2A standings.

Spartans fly by Knights The Skyline Spartans scored 21 points in the first and third quarters, and relied on a balanced offense and on three special teams touchdowns to whip the Newport Knights, 49-20, Oct. 7.

Skyline improved to 3-0 in KingCo 4A and 4-2 overall. The Spartans lead the Crest Division.

Junior quarterback Max Browne struck big in the first when he hit Andrew Giese for a 55-yard touchdown pass. Browne completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 295 yards and two touchdowns.

Running backs Jack Valencia and Damian Greene each followed in the first with their own 1-yard rushing touchdowns to make it 21-0. Newport put 7 on the board when Miles Fowler scored on a 70-yard bomb from quarterback Isaac Dotson.

In the second quarter, Browne threw his second touchdown pass of the night when he connected with Trevor Barney for a 41-yard score. Dotson found Nate Anderson for a 22-yard Knight touchdown Skyline went up 35-14 at halftime.

The Spartan defense and special teams took it from there. All three third-quarter touchdowns came on either a punt or kickoff return. First, Chase Premone raced down the field 92 yards on the opening kickoff of the second half. Later, Matt Sinatro returned a Newport punt 56-yards into the end zone for a score. And teammate Peyton Pelluer followed suit soon after with a 10yard punt-return touchdown of his own.

To close out the third quarter, Newport scored on a Neil Hones 6-yard run, but the Skyline PAT team blocked the extra-point attempt.

With the victory, Liberty went to 8-0 in KingCo Conference 3A/2A and has 24 points. The Patriots lead second-place Interlake by five points.

eight straight games entering the contest with Liberty.

Liberty struck early against Interlake when Nangle, assisted by Kailiana Johnson, scored at the 13th minute. Kiana Hafferty, assisted by Nangle, boosted Liberty’s lead to 2-0 seven minutes later.

Kali Youngdahl, assisted by Johnson, wrapped up the first-half scoring with a goal at the 33rd minute.

The three goals were the most given up by Interlake this season. The Saints had outscored opponents 33-5 entering the game, and only twice had given up two goals in a game.

Liberty, however, entered with the league’s toughest defense.

The Patriots had allowed just three goals all season prior to the game.

Liberty and Interlake meet again Oct. 27 at Liberty.

Apollo pulls some strings to host big Red Ribbon Week Local and federal agencies help spread healthy lifestyle, anti-drug message

By Tom Corrigan Issaquah Press reporter Ultimately, the topic at hand was serious.

But even the adults in the crowd outside Apollo Elementary School Oct. 5 seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Asked before and after whether they liked the show local law enforcement put on in front of the school, the answers from the students were predictable, “cool” and “fun” being the most common comments. One youngster obviously took one of the messages of the day to heart, warning his friends not to talk or give their names to a reporter, who was, after all, a stranger to them.

Representatives of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the King County Sheriff’s Office and Eastside Fire & Rescue were all on hand to help the students of Apollo mark Red Ribbon Week, which runs Oct. 23-31.

Safety personnel showed up in full gear, including a hazmat suit strongly resembling a spacesuit.

To much cheering, a DEA helicopter made several low-flying passes over the school.

The school-front performance further included appearances from McGruff the Crime Dog and Badge Man, a man-sized DEA badge.

Still, easily most popular among the mascots was the Seattle Seahawks’ Blitz. The latter showed the first two costumed characters — along with one or two lucky audience members — how to dance.

With its healthy-lifestyle, antidrug message, Red Ribbon Week gets attention at plenty of schools, including those in the Issaquah School District. Still, no one else is liable to get quite the show that Apollo did. How did the school end up with such an event?

“They asked,” DEA Public Information Officer Jodie Underwood joked.

“We’ve got connections,” added Apollo Principal Susan Mundell.

“The kids loved it. I’ve got some great feedback from teachers.”

“What happens is, the word of mouth starts to spread,” Underwood said regarding the major display of law enforcement.

The DEA and its partners are bringing out the big trucks and the helicopter three times.

“It’s fun but it’s educational,” Underwood added.

Red Ribbon Week is held in memory of Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, an 11-year DEA veteran assigned to a unit in Mexico. On Feb. 7, 1985, he was kidnapped, tortured and eventually murdered by Mexican drug traffickers.

Shortly after his death, a childhood friend of Camarena launched Camarena Clubs in the agent’s hometown in California. Member pledges to lead drug-free lives were delivered to then-First Lady Nancy Reagan.

In 1988, the National Family

Partnership launched Red Ribbon Week nationwide in Camarena’s honor. The NFP estimates some 80 million people now take part in Red Ribbon events each year.

“It’s just taken on a life of its own,” Underwood said.

While the helicopter, the dancing Seahawk and motorcycles might have gotten the attention of students, Mundell said the more serious message of Red Ribbon Week got through. She said many Apollo teachers put together lesson plans around the event or held discussions about health and drug issues with their students.

In many cases, Mundell said those discussions turned out to be student led. Underwood said it’s perfectly appropriate to take an anti-drug message to an elementary school — that children are never too young to hear that message.

“This is the time when you want to start talking to kids,” she said, adding children of elementary

The time is here for this year’s seniors to start stressing out about what colleges to apply to and whether or not they will be accepted.

It happens every year, so why should this year be any different?

By Logan As I have been going on Briggs recruiting Liberty trips to variHigh School ous universities during the past month, there is one phrase that every student I have come across tries to impart upon me, no matter the school they attend…

“Deciding to come to [insert name of university here] was the best decision I have ever made. I love this school and am extremely happy here. You should come here.”

As a swimmer, I hear this from many of the universities’ swim team members. However, I also hear plenty of nonswimmers say the same thing.

Perhaps the unsatisfied members of the college choose to stay quiet on the matter, as I have never heard anyone tell me, “I didn’t get into my top choice so I was forced to come here,” or “I really don’t like it here. I suggest you find another school.”

From the copious number of people advocating their respective universities, I would venture a guess that the majority of high school seniors, even if initially disappointed in the colleges that accepted them, find some way over the summer to convince themselves that they love their school. Either aspects regarding their selected school emerge after acceptance or they simply refuse to accept the fact that they are unhappy with their decision, but it seems that most college bound seniors need not be devastated by the rejection of their top choice.

Likewise, unnecessary worrying about college admissions will likely do more harm than good. Seniors should enjoy their senior year, and trust that in all probability, they will love the college they end up attending.

Life Enrichment Options plans home, fundraiser

By Tom Corrigan Issaquah Press reporter Founded 22 years ago by the parents of children with intellectual or developmental disabilities, Issaquah’s Life Enrichment Options is expanding.

One of the organization’s founders as well as a member of its board of directors, Rose Finnegan said LEO’s third family home should be completed by December.

The group also is planning what Finnegan said is only the second fundraising event in its history.

Harvesting Hope is the name of LEO’s luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 20 at Pickering Barn. Sammamish City Council member and former host of TV’s “Evening Magazine” John Curley will host the event.

LEO’s third facility sits in the Issaquah Highlands at the corner of 25th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Logan Street.

The newly constructed home became “dried in,” or fully enclosed, in September, said Chris Weber, LEO’s newly appointed development assistant.

Jiff Searing, LEO’s vice president for construction, said landscaping should start outside the home later this month, while interior work will begin the minute he is able to have the heat turned on.

City to host medical marijuana hearing Oct. 13 Citizens can offer input about a proposed ordinance to address medical marijuana collective gardens.

The municipal Planning Policy Commission is hosting a public hearing on the proposed ordinance Oct. 13. The commission meets at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall South, 135 E. Sunset Way. Commissioners heard from medical marijuana advocates, city planners, Police Chief Paul Ayers and others at a Sept. 8 meeting about the proposal.

Under direction from the City

LEO was founded when a group of the parents of developmentally disabled children began to realize those children had very limited options after leaving school, Finnegan said.

“We talked to everybody in the world who does housing,” she said.

The group members finally decided that if anything was going to happen in terms of housing and activities for their children, they would have to make it happen.

Regarding housing, planners finally decided on a family-style approach with five residents and a live-in care provider in each home. The care provider oversees the running of the household, operating it largely like a small business. Finnegan and Weber both said the new home would operate along the same lines. LEO is now searching for a care provider, someone with a background in working with specialneeds adults.

LEO residents are 21 and older.

LEO helps with finding jobs and activities, though some of its residents only work a few days a week, Finnegan said. She added the current economy has not aided the job hunt for LEO residents.

Although they have not made any final selections regarding who will live in the new home, Weber said LEO has a waiting list of some

24 potential residents. Final choices are made based on criteria such as the compatibility of the various possible housemates.

“The idea really is to create a family,” said Finnegan, whose son Tim Finnegan, 44, lives in a LEO home.

Rose Finnegan and Searing both talked about donations helping move along construction of the new house. Finnegan said contractors donated various items, such as a garage door and gutters.

A heating contractor cut a substantial amount off his estimate as a donation.

For his part, Searing especially had praise for Polygon Homes Northwest.

“We’ve been kind of their pet philanthropy for almost 10 years now,” he said. “Without them, the new house doesn’t happen. It’s that simple.”

Finnegan said LEO is still one of only a few groups offering housing for those with intellectual/developmental disabilities. She said King County only steps in in cases of emergencies.

“We try to be proactive,” Finnegan said.

Besides adding its third facility, LEO recently has grown in another way. It has added its first two employees in Weber and an administrative assistant.

Finnegan said the new staffers were welcome.

Council, the municipal Planning Department is developing a measure to determine what or if business, safety and zoning restrictions should apply to such gardens.

Issaquah is in the midst of a six-month moratorium on the collective gardens. The council enacted the ban in June and, per standard procedure, held a public hearing on the issue in July.

The council agreed to uphold the ban, but after hearing from medical marijuana users and advocates, directed planners to formulate a solution as soon as possible.

Citizens can also call the

Planning Department at 8373080 to offer input before the meeting.

Eastside Fire & Rescue holds open houses Oct. 15 Eastside Fire & Rescue is opening fire stations in Issaquah and the surrounding area to the public for Fire Prevention Week.

Citizens can stop for tours, snacks and information about fire safety, flood safety and emergency preparedness, as well as a chance to sit on a fire truck.

The following stations are open for tours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“It was getting to be too much for a volunteer board,” she added.

For the future, although plans are not definite, LEO might add a fourth home somewhere in the Snoqualmie Valley. Some kind of program for clients who wish to live on their own also may be in the works. While the Harvesting Hope luncheon is a fundraiser, Weber said it’s also about raising awareness.

“We try to be an advocate for all our people,” she said.

ON A WING AND A PRAYER

Jim Keeffe (left) and his father, James Keeffe Jr., collaborated for the younger Keeffe’s book, ‘Two Gold Coins and a Prayer.’

Local author offers father’s World War II tale at Costco

CONTRIBUTED

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Lt. James Keeffe Jr., a United States Army Air Forces pilot, plummeted to earth as conflict tore Europe apart.

Nazis shot down Keeffe’s bomber March 8, 1944, months before D-Day and the start of a massive Allied assault to loosen occupied Europe from Hitler’s grasp.

More than six decades later, Jim Keeffe transformed the tale into “Two Gold Coins and a Prayer” — a book about his father’s experiences as a World War II bomber pilot and Nazi prisoner of war.

The author is due to inscribe books and discuss the story Oct. 15 at Costco.

“There I was standing on the ground in enemy-occupied Holland,” the elder Keeffe recounts in the book. “I had just bailed out of my crippled heavy bomber and had no idea what had happened to my crew. I was hungry. I’d had only two hours of sleep in the past 36 hours. My face was smeared with mud and blood.

And I was just four days away from my 21st birthday.”

The lifelong aviation enthusiast, now 88 and a Bellevue resident, joined the U.S. Army Air Forces in August 1942 as World War II raged. Then, after intense training, arrived in England on Thanksgiving 1943 to start flying B-24 bomber missions.

“Since he never put it down on paper, as I was getting older and more and more interested in it, back in 2001 is when I took the bull by the horns and decided to take it upon my own self to do it,” Jim Keeffe said of telling his father’s story.

Dutch Resistance shelters pilot The downed pilot evaded capture, even as German police conducted a door-todoor search near Papendrecht, a small town in the Netherlands. Dutch Resistance members hid Keeffe from German soldiers for several months.

IF YOU GO ‘Two Gold Coins and a Prayer’ book signing 1-3 p.m. Oct. 15 Costco 1801 10th Ave. N.W.

The resistance even created false papers identifying Keeffe as a basket maker unable to hear or speak. The cover meant he could walk the streets in wartime Rotterdam, so long as he did not speak.

“I didn’t know hardly anything about the Dutch Resistance part of the story,” Jim Keeffe said. “When I started uncovering all of the details of that, and how people living under occupation still were brave enough to take care of people like my dad — with the possibility of getting shot at any moment — that’s what opened my eyes to the whole thing.”

But the Germans eventually captured Keeffe and incarcerated him in Stalag Luft III, a camp in modern-day Poland.

“He got choked up at times when he would talk about sensitive parts,” Jim Keeffe said. “When a German guard helped him one time to keep civilians from attacking him once he got caught.

He’d choke up during the human condition things. He never choked up because things were hard or tough. He’s got a soft heart, so when people did extraordinary

things, he’d get emotional about it.”

Keeffe traveled to Europe to conduct research, and joined other former POWs’ children at the Stalag Luft III site in Poland.

In 1945, the Germans evacuated the camp as Soviet forces approached from the east. The column of prisoners — 12,000 strong — stretched for miles along the 60-mile route into Germany.

The elder Keeffe recalled refugees carting belongings to escape the advancing Soviets and people growing too weak to walk and collapsing into the snow.

On the research trip, author Keeffe and the other children of former prisoners traversed the route on foot. The group departed at the same time on a winter’s night as prisoners had done decades before.

“We walked down the same cobblestone country roads that our dads had and went through the same little villages,” he said. “It was just a trip back in time.”

For book’s subject, another chapter The story did not end after Jim Keeffe, a Fall City resident, published the book.

Holocaust survivor Helen Cohen-

Berman emailed Jim Keeffe after reading a portion of “Two Gold Coins and a Prayer” on Google Books.

Cohen-Berman, then 8, remembered James Keeffe from the war. The girl’s family and Keeffe hid from the Nazis together. Soldiers eventually discovered sent Cohen-Berman’s family to the Westerbork concentration camp in the Netherlands. The family survived the experience, and Cohen-Berman settled in Israel in 1978.

Through the Google Books connection, Cohen-Berman traveled to Bellevue in September to meet James Keeffe.

(The story received a post on The Official Google Blog, due to the Google Books connection.)

In addition to retracing his father’s steps in Europe, Jim Keeffe traveled to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., to conduct research.

“Two Gold Coins and a Prayer” originated from a series of audio interviews.

As Jim Keeffe collected the memories from his father, he decided to compile the stories into a book. Because the elder Keeffe remembered addresses, dates and names, the book has enough details to rival a World War II epic film.

The creative process inspired Jim Keeffe, a first-time author.

“I just doodled all through school and, in fact, if I’m given an assignment to write something, I just go blank,” he said.

The writer’s block resurfaced as he put together “Two Gold Coins and a Prayer.”

The process lasted almost a decade.

“There always seemed to be a door that opened up when I didn’t know what to do next,” Jim Keeffe said.

Find simple Italian cooking off beaten path at Montalcino Restaurant reviews are a regular feature of The Issaquah Press. Reviewers visit restaurants unannounced and pay in full for their meals.

By David Hayes Issaquah Press reporter When my wife and I vacationed in Venice, Italy, one of the best meals we had the entire trip came via recommendation of a local resident.

The bed-and-breakfast owner suggested a little family-run restaurant, way off the beaten path away from the usual touristy spots. The food at this hole in the wall was exquisite and memorable for its simplistic, yet bold flavors.

Well, Issaquah now boasts its own hole in the wall, family run ristorante Italiano — Montalcino. Located on Northwest Alder Place, a block off the beaten path of Front Street, Montalcino brought back memories of Venice with its intimate, rustic interior.

You know you’re going to get personalized service when maximum occupancy doesn’t exceed 30. And in a competitive, growing Italian restaurant market even here in Issaquah, it’s nice to have something to set yourself apart from the others.

The Nardone family has crafted a menu that showcases their family recipes.

The lunch meal was kicked off by some of the best bread I’ve ever had. Its freshness was accented by just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a dash of freshly chopped parsley.

A group of us skipped the appetizer selections and went straight for the entrées — which might have been a mistake since the appetizer menu features stuzzichino staples such as bruschetta, mozzarella caprese salad, and assorted salumi and cheese. Every dish on the lunch menu was less than $15, so it was nice to discover a restaurant that didn’t have to be one of those “special occasion” destinations that

offer good food, but at spendy prices.

Once our orders arrived, the homemade craftsmanship was apparent on every plate. The same sauce was used in both the lasagna and the spaghetti and meatballs. It had a rich, cheesy flavor without being too beefy. The meatballs, I’m told, are a combination of what’s on hand any given day — so you might get ground beef and veal one day and beef and pork another day. Either way, they were delicious, again, in their simplicity.

Sometimes a dish can be overthought, with too many ingredients overpowering each other. These meatballs were crafted to be enjoyed each harmonious bite.

Our third diner tried the white sauce in the linguini chicken panna. She found the chicken had a great grilled, smoky flavor, and the sauce was creamy with simplicity again bringing out the best of each ingredient.

If we had found time to linger at the restaurant, we would have loved to sam-

ple the many wines the Nardone family produce themselves. And for those diners who leave room, the menu has many appetizing desserts to complete the experience, from homemade tiramisu to the bomba mambo chocolata.

Still shy of being open three months, here’s hoping Montalcino becomes a mainstay of fine cuisine found in Issaquah.
