PFOS found in EFR headquarters soil sample

BY SCOTT STODDARD sstoddard@sammamishreview.com AND LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com The perfluorinated chemical known as PFOS was recently discovered in a soil sample taken at Eastside Fire &

Rescue’s headquarters at 175 Newport Way NW, the city and EFR announced this week.

PFOS, or perfluorooctane sulfonate, is also present in four production wells which draw water from the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer: Issaquah’s Gilman Well No. 4 and No.

5 and Sammamish Plateau Water’s Well No. 7 and No. 8.

EFR Deputy Chief Richard Burke told The Issaquah Press PFOS was detected at different levels in two soil samples taken from the main headquarters property. EFR Chief Jeff Clark told the newspaper the sample

showing the highest level of PFOS was at the rear of the property, behind both the main headquarters building and a pole building Burke said over the years training exercises occurred on the site where the soil samples were taken.

PFOS is frequently associated with firefighting foam, specifically the Class B “aqueous film forming foam” first developed by 3M and U.S. Navy in the 1960s.

Residents expressed support of the city taking on debt to address what they say is a lack of sufficient infrastructure during a town hall meeting Sept. 8.

More than 150 residents flooded City Council chambers, where members of the city staff and councilmembers facilitated small roundtable discussions on growth after a brief presentation by Community Development Director Jeff Thomas.

“Let’s take on debt,” Sammamish resident Debbie Frause said. “Let’s get these roads fixed.”

Resident Jaye Siqueiros echoed those words, “Let’s fix the infrastructure before building more.”

Mayor Don Gerend was pleasantly surprised residents were asking the city to take on debt.

House fire ‘within minutes was shooting sky-high’

BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@ sammamishreview.com

A home at the corner of Issaquah-Fall City and Issaquah-Pine Lake roads is a total loss after it was destroyed by a fire early Sept. 8.

Dan Dumbrava, 32, lives across the street from the home — which shares a popular lot for annual Christmas-tree sales — and said he heard popping noises and initially thought his neighbors were having a bonfire.

“I heard one pop, then another, then glass breaking. I thought, ‘Whatever they’re burning is glass,” said Dumbrava, who was still awake at 1:30 a.m. after returning home from his Redmond job.

Dumbrava said he could see people milling about outside, but saw nothing indicating anything was out of control. Then he noticed the flames.

“It started as a small little ember. But within minutes, it was up shooting sky-high,” he said.

Dumbrava added he called 911 just to be safe and was told emergency services had already been contacted.

Fire destroyed this home early Sept. 8 at 5124 Issaquah-Pine Lake Road SE.

Battalion Chief Russ Tanner confirmed three occupants of the one-story home all made it out safely. But by the time the first units arrived at 1:39 a.m., the home was fully involved, Tanner said.

“It was 100 percent involved. So the responded units went

into defensive mode right away and fought the fire from outside the house,” Tanner said. “It was a total loss.”

In all, Tanner said EFR sent six engines, a ladder truck, a medic unit and a battalion chief who was on duty at the time.

EFR contacted the Red Cross to help temporarily relocate the home’s three occupants, Tanner said.

He added a King County fire investigator would send a representative later Thursday. The structure was initially too unsafe for

anyone to enter.

“Typically, we start the investigation at night,” Tanner said. “But because it was unsafe, especially at nighttime, we had to wait until daytime.”

He added a cause was not yet determined and it could be some time before one is.

Residents participate in a roundtable discussion on growth with councilmembers and city staff members Sept. 8 in the Sammamish City Council chambers.

DEBT From Page 1

Gerend said the city has prided itself in having minimal debt, but now there is a compelling case to do it.

Anticipating a lively discussion after months of criticism from residents about new development, the city used the roundtable as a way to gather residents’ opinions on how the city should manage this new growth.

Early in the meeting, City Manager Lyman Howard addressed Issaquah’s recent announcement of a six-month citywide development moratorium, calling it a drastic step.

After applause from the audience, Howard said Issaquah wanted growth, but in his opinion, that city couldn’t handle it. It was different in Sammamish, Howard said.

During the roundtable, participants were asked to discuss a series of questions relating to growth, including “What do you think the city should do to manage development?”

Residents offered a variety of answers to this question: phase in remaining growth, impose a minimum house-to-lot ratio, use trees as buffers between developments, prefund infrastructure improvements before allowing more development, create more wildlife corridors and take on debt. A few suggested a moratorium on development.

According to Thomas, the city’s comprehensive plan has a goal of 4,600 new housing units as part of the Growth Management Act. As of June 30, 1,075 of those units had been permitted.

Roughly one-tenth of the land in the city is available to be developed or redeveloped. Less than half of this buildable land is currently vacant.

ON THE WEB To take the growth survey online, visit sammamish.us and click on virtual town hall link in the middle of the page.

The questions covered in the small group roundtables are the same in the recently launched growth survey, part of the new virtual town hall tool. Residents who were unable to attend, or who attended but want to add additional comments, can fill out the virtual town hall survey by visiting the city’s webpage Sammamish.us.

According to Deputy City Manager Jessi Bond comments from residents will be presented to City Council for further discussion.

A

recent report from the state Auditor’s Office says state and local governments spent $60 million to fill more than 285,000 public-records requests during a recent 12-month period.

While the cost may sound alarming, the report should not be used to shut down public access to government records.

In fact, the state of Washington should be celebrating this important way of helping citizens keep track of their governments. Any changes to the state Public Records Act should make information easier to access, not more difficult.

The $60 million cost is a relative bargain, representing about onetenth of 1 percent of the cost to run Washington’s state and local governments. (The total cost is likely higher, however, because not every government agency responded to the auditor’s request for information for the report.)

As the auditor’s report prepared at the behest of the Legislature begins, “Transparency and accountability are essential components of good government.”

But the report goes on to express concerns about the way the openrecords law is making life difficult for state and local governments.

The report says the explosion of information available and the cost to store and organize it is a burden on government agencies.

Toby Nixon, president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, worries that the report could be used to weaken the state’s records laws. The citizens of Washington want and need a strong open-records law. As the auditor’s

PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS IN SAMMAMISH City of Sammamish statistics for the most recent fiscal or calendar year, as reported by the state auditor: Number of public records requests: 683 Who requests records: City did not break down requests by category Total cost to fulfill public records requests: $149,912 Total litigation costs related to public records requests: $92,598 Amount of time to fill requests: Same day (56 percent), 2-5 days (38 percent), 6-20 days (6 percent)

report acknowledges, “Full access to public records helps maintain public confidence in government at all levels.”

If government budgets are overburdened, one way to cut the cost of responding to records requests would be to automatically post more information online for everyone to see. The report makes some good suggestions: Disclose information before it is asked for and organize records for easy search and retrieval.

Other suggestions are troubling, such as, “Collect and retain only necessary records.”

Necessary to whom? Who decides what is necessary?

Transparency is essential to democracy. It’s how citizens keep track of their government’s actions.

The Legislature should tread carefully before making any changes to the state Public Records Act that would make it more difficult for the public and the press to watch over their governments.

Letters to the editor Install roundabout, not a stoplight, at Providence Point It is with great frustration to read about the City of Issaquah’s proposed addition of a traffic light on Southeast 43rd Way at the entrance to Providence Point. Alas, yet another traffic light resulting in even more backed-up traffic on the Plateau.

Whereas I completely understand the traffic concerns for the residents of Providence Point, traffic lights are not the solution. As we have come to experience first-hand over the past many years, substituting roundabouts for traffic lights has resulted in a marked improvement in the flow of traffic. A roundabout would be the ideal solution for this particular intersection for three reasons: 1. Traffic will continue to flow smoothly along the main arterial.

2. Potential traffic accidents caused by rear-ending cars stopped at a red light on this blind curve is greatly diminished because traffic will still be moving.

A reduction in the speed limit before the blind curve (heading south) would alert people to possible slow-downs.

3. Residents of Providence Point will never have to wait for a green light to access the main arterial.

Sammamish traffic has become congested — a large part due to the many traffic lights added over the past few years.

Main arterials such as Issaquah-Pine Lake Road have added two just in the past couple of years.

EFR said in a news release that it “replaced all firefighting foam agents know to contain PFOS with environmentally sound products and has been deploying these agents for many years in fire suppression operations and training.”

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

The release continued: “EFR remains dedicated to public safety, and will continue to cooperate with the City of Issaquah in its investigation of

Consultants hired by the city who have drilled test wells in an effort to determine the extent of the PFOS plume suggested testing soil at Eastside Fire & Rescue headquarters, which is located upgradient from the affected wells.

The contamination of Gilman Well No. 4, which is approximately 4,300 feet due north of EFR headquarters, prompted

the city to lease a granular-activated carbon treatment system that scrubs PFOS from the water before it enters the municipal distribution system.

A report on the latest developments concerning PFOS contamination of the aquifer is expected to be presented at the City Council’s Sept. 19 meeting.

PFOS is known to cause liver damage and birth defects in lab animals. Research on its effects on humans is still evolving.

“We only played classical music in the house. No pop music,” he said.

But it was Eric who had to apply himself to the craft to earn a superior performance score in the Sammamish Music Club’s junior festival each year, which features about 350 students. Any deviation of effort would have thrown him off course to earn the Grand Gold Cup. An “excellent” in a competition only earns four points, his mom said. It takes sustained “superior” scores from age 4 to 18.

“You lose eligibility once you turn 19. This is for junior festivals.

Once you’re past the age of majority, you’re not a junior any more,” Ethan said.

He admits to not practicing much in elementary and middle school. But in high school, he was practicing up to two hours a day. Even more as the competitions drew nearer, Khim said.

To earn the final Grand Gold Cup, in addition to a solo performances of “Prelude and Fugue No. 9” by Bach and Rachmaninoff’s “Prelude Op. 32 No. 5,” Ethan had to perform excerpts from a concerto. He chose the third movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto.

GREG FARRAR | gfarrar@sammamishreview.com

Trophies for Ethan Chau’s superior performance scores stretch from his 2016 Grand Cup (right) back to 2014, 2011, 2008 and 2005.

Khim couldn’t be more proud of her star pupil.

“It’s very hard to teach your own kid,” she said.

“He was able to work with me and earn a gold cup. I’m very proud of him.”

Khim, who has 13 students at this time and has been teaching on the Plateau since they moved there in 1993, points to what paved the way to his success.

“I think throughout the years, he has looked up to some of my older students. Similarly, some of my younger students now look up to him. I think it’s a good way for the kids to look at older students and learn from them,” she said.

With nothing but classical music playing in the household as he grew up, it’s a good thing he took to it instead of rebelling.

“I like the music,” Ethan said, who also played varsity tennis for the Eagles and

ultimate Frisbee for fun. “I like the balance of learning something that’s technically challenging and fulfilling to get done. The beautiful melodies you’re able to produce, the ability to touch people and touch yourself emotionally.

How music is so versatile.”

His appreciation for the music showed in another way — he aced the written theory exams at each festival, also maxing out on the gold cubs available to earn along the way.

When he earned that final and elusive Grand Gold Cup, Ethan experience mixed emotions.

“I was like, ‘Yes! I’m done! But what’s next?” he said. “I’m still looking.”

Ethan plans to keep taking lessons on the side and learning new pieces at the University of Washington where he plans to study computer science.

Turnaround SKYLINE 26, GONZAGA PREP 23 (3OT)

Spartans prevail over Bulldogs in triple overtime one season after teams met for state title

COLIN MULVANY | The Spokane Spokesman-Review

Skyline special teams players swarm Gonzaga Prep’s Sam Lockett (20) during a kickoff return in the first half of the Spartans’ victory over the Bulldogs on Sept. 9 in Spokane.

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com Quarterback Drew Kistner found running back Isaiah Shim on a 10-yard touchdown pass and the Skyline Spartans won in triple overtime, 26-23, against the Gonzaga Prep Bullpups in a nonleague football game Sept. 9 in Spokane.

Shim’s score, on a screen

pass, capped a wild night that ended with a 13-13 tie during regulation. Each team scored a touchdown during the first OT and missed field goals in the second OT. The Spartans (1-1) were coming off a 38-27 loss to Richland the previous week. Shim had three of their touchdowns against G-Prep, scoring on a 9-yard run in the final min-

ute of the first half for a 13-6 Skyline lead.

G-Prep (0-2), which lost to Eastside Catholic in Week 1, took a 23-20 lead with a 34-yard Seth Kuykendall field goal to start the third OT. But Shim, who ran for 179 yards, including a 68-yard TD on Skyline’s first offensive play of the night, found his way into the end zone again for the game-win-

ning points.

G-Prep’s Sam Lockett blocked a punt, scooped up the ball and scored from 8 yards for the only points of the second half.

Skyline plays its first home game of the season at 7 p.m.

Sept. 16 against plateau rival Eastlake.

HELLO, WE (2 non‑smoking young grandparents and a 5‑year‑old grand‑ daughter) are looking for one room or den above a garage on the Eastside (in order of preference: Woodinville/ Kingsgate/Bothell/Redmond/ Sammamish/Issaquah) to spend the night for 2 to 4 nights a week DURING the work week. Gone Friday morning to Monday night, we live in Pierce County.

OK if no kitchen access. OK if room unfurnished. We don’t need cable TV or internet access. We have one small car. We will be gone during the day (school/work/etc.). Rental price has to be competitive with price of commute from Pierce County and affordable since it’s just a couple of nights and no week‑ ends. Non‑smoking, no drugs, no drink‑ ing, conservative and extremely clean.

We will be quiet, we just need a frugal, clean place to sleep instead of a long commute.

in the first set to contribute to the lopsided score.

But the Beavers settled down at the start of the second set and began setting up Ruby Fera, their star hitter. Fera had four of her match-high 12 kills early in set two as Ballard led by as many as four points.

But Knapick picked up a kill and an ace on consecutive plays, giving the Wolves a 15-14 lead, and they never trailed again.

Whatever momentum Ballard picked up was quickly squashed as Eastlake took control of the third set through Bosworth’s and Bickford’s net presence, as well as solid positioning from back-row players like Barney, Katie Varness and Ally Schasteen.

Allie O’Loughlin and Sanjana Sridhar came off the bench for a couple long serving runs that put Eastlake ahead by double digits. And Barney completed the win with a kill on match point.

“Her personality is leadership – she’s a selfless player,” Tonahill said of Barney, a thirdyear varsity player. “We’re absolutely going to be counting on her this year to kind of remain what we know she is … We just need her to be herself.”

Knapick was a capable utility player on last year’s team, her coach said, but appears to have solidified a starting role as a junior because her overall skills are sharper.

“Her hitting has really come alive,” Tonahill said.

“She has an explosive approach right now. Her defense is solid and has been solid.”

And Woerner, who moves from No. 2 to No. 1 on the depth chart at setter, may be the key ingredient to Eastlake’s winning formula.

“She has been our most consistent setter and, again, her leadership and her intuition for every ball has been on,” Tonahill said.

“She knows her hitters well; she communicates with her hitters. She has an intense, competitive attitude which really helps this team.”

And the missed opportunities allowed the Chargers to take the lead in the 31st minute.

Olivia Van der Jagt sent a pinpoint diagonal pass to Hannah Lin, who got behind the defense and scored on a low shot to the far post past Skyline ‘keeper Anna Smith.

“At halftime, we really talked about communicating,” Alexander said, “and we kind of got better defensively in the second half and held it out so they didn’t score again.”

With time running out and her team needing a goal, Mariah Alexander threw caution out the window.

“We only had a minute or so left and I saw the striker up top,” Alexander said. “I was like, ‘Well, got to go for this.’ I mean, we didn’t really have any other choice.”

Skyline’s junior center back got the ball in her own half of the field and drilled a 40-yard pass into an empty space behind the Kentridge defense. Speedy forward Emma Rohleder was first to the loose ball, touched it around oncoming goalkeeper McKenzie Ford and scored into the vacated net.

The 79th-minute tally salvaged a 1-1 tie for Skyline during a Sept.

6 visit to Kentridge and gave the Spartans something positive from their only nonleague girls soccer game of the season.

Regardless of the result, Skyline’s eyes were on bigger tasks – repeating as Class 4A KingCo Conference champion and going deep into the state playoffs.

“The goal is kind of like an icing on the cake, to reward the effort,” coach Don Braman said. “I think it was a just result and if we’d walked out with three points, I would’ve said, ‘Wow, that was a good team we beat.’ And if we’d lost, I’d say, ‘I really like the chances we created.’”

The Spartans had some good looks at goal in the opening half that were either off target or saved

how many times I’ve seen a player make the wrong choice and try to trap that ball that’s going through to her teammate.”

The Spartans outshot the Chargers 9-8 and Smith made seven saves, although most were routine.

For Alexander, the first game of the season was a chance to see how the Spartans would coalesce.

Kremer, Bella Calvert Lee, Alli Schnebele and Maddie Butz all made their varsity debuts.

“We do have four new players – three of them are freshmen – and so we really wanted to use their strengths on the field and kind of integrate them,” Alexander said. “And this was a really good game – they got good minutes – so it’s really good for moving on through the season.”

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

EASTSIDE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Putney morphs into EC’s version of ‘Honey Badger’

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com Fast, mobile and ruthless.

The best defensive football players have those qualities and Eastside Catholic junior strong safety Malik Putney is developing into one of the top defensive back prospects in the state.

Putney was constantly around the ball during the Crusaders’ season opener against Gonzaga Prep. He made nine tackles, two for losses, and forced a pair of fumbles as Eastside Catholic walked away with a 21-7 win in a battle of the defending Class 3A and 4A champions.

Putney spoke with the Sammamish Review after a Sept. 8 practice as his team pre-

pared to face Skyview, another difficult nonleague opponent.

(The Crusaders would defeat the Storm, 31-16.)

Question: The game with Gonzaga Prep was a tough test.

Were you pleased with your own performance or do you think you have more to give?

Answer: I think that coach (Jeremy Thielbahr) prepared us well as a team to go out there and play against a wonderful opponent, Gonzaga Prep. Coach said everybody has to do their job and when the play comes to you, you’ve got to make the play. So that’s really all it was.

There’s definitely more coming at me for the rest of the season and it’s not just me, but the

rest of the team.

We’ve still got more to prove.

We played well against Gonzaga Prep, but we don’t Malik like teams Putney scoring on us, even if it’s seven points.

Q: Is strong safety a position you’ve been playing for a long time and are there any pro or college players you try to emulate?

A: Last year, I played boundary cornerback, but this year I filled the role of (outgoing senior) Brandon Wellington.

I think that’s a perfect fit for where I want to take my game

to the next level. Playing strong safety, it gives me more opportunity to play inside and outside the box, where I can make plays in the run game and I can also make plays in the air.

My favorite player is the “Honey Badger,” Tyrann Mathieu (of the Arizona Cardinals). I kind of model my game after him, so when you see those strips (forced fumbles) out there, that’s kind of where that came from.

Q: You play basketball for Eastside Catholic, too. Is it difficult being a two-sport athlete and managing the rigorous academic work the school requires?

A: The first half of the year,

with football, they give a lot of help if you need it. Before practice, you can go to study hall for 30 minutes, an hour, and make sure you get most of your homework done. When you get that transition into basketball, there are so many games, it’s harder to maintain. But I’m good in the classroom.

Q: What do you like to do when you’re not playing sports?

A: Honestly, I’m just a chill guy, so I just like relaxing. I don’t really like going out. I hang out with my friends and we just have a good time. I play video games if I’m at my friend’s house, but I don’t own a game system.

FOOTBALL From Page 13

Eastlake 24, Sedro-Woolley 21 Backup quarterback Connor Brown’s fourth-quarter touchdown toss to Max Gardiner proved to be the winning points and the Wolves improved to 2-0 with a win over the visiting Cubs.

Starter Ben Howard threw a 61-yard TD pass to Hank Pladson in the first period and 51-yard TD to Cole Brinkman in the second period as Eastlake took a 12-0 lead to halftime.

But Howard left the game with an injury early in the fourth quarter.

Sedro-Woolley, one of the top teams in Class 2A, took a brief lead with two touchdowns in the third quarter before Eastlake responded.

Chris Nelson’s short run put the Wolves back in front, 18-14.

Eastside Catholic 31, Skyview 16 The Crusaders, the topranked 3A team in the state, had to weather the storm, who kept the game close and trailed by a point entering the fourth quarter.

Chris Lefau’s long kickoff return to end the third quarter, though, sparked a late surge for the two-time defending state champions. Tyler Folkes scored on a 2-yard TD run and Gee Scott grabbed an 18-yard pass from Zach Lewis for EC’s final margin of victory.

SCOTT STODDARD | sstoddard@sammamishreview.com

Eastside Catholic quarterback Zach Lewis (2) threw for three touchdowns in the Crusaders’ 31-16 victory over Skyview on Saturday night in Seattle.

Lewis finished the night 16 of 20 passing for 229 yards, three TDs and one interception. He also ran for 65 yards on nine carries.

Lewis hit Hunter Bryant for a

42-yard score to give EC (2-0) an early 7-0 lead, but Skyview (1-1) answered on Hayden Froeber’s 4-yard run.

In the second quarter, Lefau hauled in a 45-yard scoring pass

and Benjamin Pedersen kicked a 25-yard field goal for a 17-7 halftime lead.

Bryant, one of the state’s top recruits who has orally committed to Washington, left

the game with an injury and didn’t dress for the second half.

The Crusaders finish nonleague play after they travel to Union at 7 p.m. Sept. 16.
