Homeless for the holidays For Tent City 4 residents and others facing homelessness, Christmas can amount to a day that isn’t anything special By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com “It’s just another day,” said Tent City 4 resident Wendell Hansen, talking about the upcoming Christmas holiday. “It’s just another day,” parroted Joe, a visitor to the Issaquah Community Hall on Sunset Way for a holiday dinner given Dec. 11. Joe declined to give his last name but added the coming holiday “doesn’t mean a damn thing.” And while he didn’t think the free dinner was anything special, he admitted looking forward to getting one of the dozens of coats being handed out that evening by dinner sponsor Trail Youth. The homeless encampment Tent City 4 is parked in Hans Jensen Campground, part of Lake Sammamish State Park, until at least Dec. 28. With permission from the state, Tent City moved in the first weekend

in November, unable to find a more long-term place to stay. The initial permit was for 20 days, but that deadline has since been extended and could be again. All together, there are 27 adults calling Tent City 4 home. No children are allowed. There are residents who plan to celebrate the holiday in one way or another, going to church and trying to visit with family. But many seem to hold the same opinion as Hansen and Joe. Jason – not his real name – has been in Tent City 4 for about nine months. He doesn’t say so, but it seems as if he’s not looking forward to Christmas as he won’t be able to see his children, who live with their grandparents. Addiction has apparently been a challenge for him, but he states he’s been clean and sober for years and tried to win some visitation rights. “I can’t beat their money,” he said of the chil-

dren’s grandparents. Hansen said somebody almost certainly would provide Tent City a dinner on Christmas Day. The Redwood Family Church in Redmond supplied a Thanksgiving meal. The residents spent a good part of the day doing what a lot of people did, watching football, in this case, on a somewhat aging large screen TV that is part of the encampment. Resident Shawn Svoboda offers a tour of Tent City 4. The tents are lined up in rows on either side of a sort of boardwalk of wooden and plastic pallets, needed because of all the recent

Roads and road maintenance are first and foremost on the minds of Klahanie-area residents who are about to become residents of Sammamish. In the meantime, Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard said Sammamish is ready for the approximately 11,000 new residents who live in Klahanie and several smaller, adjoining neighborhoods. Sammamish officially annexes the Klahanie area Jan. 1. Presently a part of unincorporated King County, the annexation area contains some 3,900 residential units and covers almost two square miles on the southeast edge of the existing city. Answering questions posed during the last official meeting of the Klahanie Transition Committee, Sammamish plans to take on several road projects in the area, said John Cunningham, interim public works director. The projects are listed on the Sammamish Transportation Improvement See ROADS, Page 2

‘Sammamish’ in the running for name of state’s newest ferry By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com The name “Sammamish” is one of three in the running to be the moniker for the next state ferry. The state legislature funded a fourth Olympic-Class ferry earlier this year as part of a larger transportation package. In turn, the Washington State Transportation Commission was asked to provide Washington State Ferries with a name for the new ship by March 2016. The commission conducted a name search last year, as work began on the third 114-car ferry. That search resulted in four possible names, with the name “Chimacum” ultimately selected.

Svoboda points out the half-dozen or so bicycles residents can borrow, also referring to some common areas. “It’s a place to lay your head, keep your stuff safe,” he says of Tent City. Residents all passed a background check for sex offenses. No drugs or alcohol are allowed. Not even for a holiday toast, Hansen says. Violators have been tossed out, he adds. Having fought addiction, at least one resident is very happy with Tent City 4’s strict drug and alcohol policies. “That doesn’t mean there’s not snake in the grass though,” said Abigail Skjold.

Skjold wants to use donated Christmas ornaments to decorate a pine tree on one side of Tent City. On this day, there are all of two ornaments on the tree after she invites a reporter to hang one. The Trail Youth is a grassroots organization that normally hands out drinks to youth near the Issaquah skate park next to the city community center, and, more importantly, offers whatever help they can up to and including setting up rehab for those who need it.

TIP: q Issaquah-Pine Lake Road, between Klahanie Boulevard and Southeast 32nd: The city plans to widen the road to three lanes and add bike lanes, curbs and sidewalks. Improvements are planned for the existing roundabout. This nearly $13 million project will not even see designs completed until 2019. “I’ll be 71 years old by the time you guys do anything,” said Ray Edmonds, a member of the transition committee. He complained Issaquah-

Pine Lake is highly congested and suffers from years of neglect by King County. Cunningham said one problem with the project is the last piece of the road is not in Sammamish, but Issaquah. The cities are in negotiations, he said, to figure out a way to complete the renovations. One idea is to have Sammamish annex just the right of way for the street. q Issaquah-Pine Lake Road, from Southeast 48th Street to Klahanie Boulevard: The plan here is to widen the street to five lanes. Design work should start in 2017, with construction completed in 2020.

tors talked with mention they are grateful for the meal and the coats; they almost all also say Christmas is no big deal. Several indicate a tent in the woods on Tiger Mountain or a similar location is home for now. “The woods are better than the streets,” said David, no last name given. He and others said Issaquah isn’t a bad place to be homeless, there are plenty of people willing to help if needed. “It’s pretty quiet out here,” David adds. “As

And he even got eggnog,

he said. Davis says Christmas makes him miss his family, but it’s still a good time of year. “People are more generous at Christmas,” he said, though he also notes that after the

holiday there is a large drop off in that generosity. “It seems the less you have, the more you appreciate what you’ve got,” notes Trail Youth volunteer Carol Hendricks.

q Issaquah-Fall City Road from Southeast 48th Street to Klahanie Drive Southeast: This project is to receive $800,000 in design work in 2016, with construction wrapping in 2019. The road will be widened to five lanes with bike lanes and sidewalks. q Issaquah-Fall City Road from Klahanie Drive to Issaquah-Beaver Lake Road: Design work starts in 2018, with a widening to three lanes completed in 2021. In addition to these four projects, Cunningham said Sammamish plans on spending $750,000 for repaving in the annexation area next year. He said the available funds

should be enough to patch about 1.5 miles of roadway. While he wasn’t overjoyed with the timing of some of the road projects, Edmonds said later he was happy with the committee work overall. “I think it’s been very informative and people have shown a lot of interest,” he said.

Office for its police coverage. Howard said to the best of his knowledge, all four of the incoming officers are experienced transfers from elsewhere in the county. Sammamish will add one more new officer in February and another in March. Public works is another area in which the city will ramp up its available services. Howard said the city already has or will have new heavy trucks for the department by Jan. 1. They’ve also ordered a new mower, though obviously they won’t be using that for a while. Sammamish snowplows will be ready to take on annexation area streets if needed. In the past, King County has famously said it does not plow streets in unincorporated areas. Fire service and waste pickup are two services that will not change with the annexation. Howard wanted to publicize the city’s new after-hours phone number: 2950700. If your life is in danger or a crime is in progress, call 911. But the city number can be used to report anything from road blockages to dead animals in the roadway.

The city is ready Howard said Sammamish will add three deputies and one administrative sergeant to its police force on Jan. 1. Although officers identify themselves as Sammamish police, the city contracts with the King County Sheriff’s

Opposing sides wrap up 10 days of testimony on Conner-Jarvis housing development By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com Appellants, the developer and City of Sammamish staff members presented closing arguments Dec. 14 in what became the long-running appeal of the proposed Conner-Jarvis housing project. The project would put 115 single-family homes on acreage located west of IssaquahPine Lake Road Southeast and north of Southeast 42nd Street near Laughing Jacobs Creek and Laughing Jacobs

Lake. Residents from neighboring Kempton Downs appealed the city’s ruling of mitigated non-significance for the project. The appeal cites potential harm to local waterways as well as added traffic in Kempton Downs. City hearing examiner John Galt promised a decision by Jan. 21. In a “nutshell,” the appellants failed to prove traffic impacts and did not sufficiently address supposed violations of wetland rules, said Evan Maxim, city senior

planner. “I believe we followed the rules exactly on all the wetlands,” Maxim said. “I believe we followed the rules on this development.” “I believe we were outmaneuvered legally,” said resident activist Mike Grady. “There’s no question we are right… The city and the developer teamed up and their case was, ‘We’re following the law.’ Our case was, ‘You’re destroying the environment.’ ” During the most recent round of testimony, the

which means “people.” The Sammamish also were known to early EuropeanAmerican settlers as “Squak,” “Simump” and “Squowh.” The largest Sammamish village was Tlah-Wah-Dees

at the mouth of the Sammamish River. In 1885, the U.S. government signed the Treaty of Point Elliott with the leaders of most of the Puget Sound Tribes and they were relocated. Descendants of the Sammamish dispersed into other tribes, including the Suquamish, Snoqualmie and Tulalip. Along with Suquamish, Cowlitz is also the name of a local Native American tribe. You can read the story of all three tribes at tinyurl.com/hbrxdyx. On that same page, you will find a link to the state’s ferry naming policy and can follow a link to comment on this proposal. Comments regarding the names also can be emailed to transc@wstc. wa.gov. The commission will seek input from

state. But Anderson added he could find no application to the state that would allow such work. Anderson went on to outline five specific steps that could be required of ConnerJarvis, including wetlands studies and a related mitigation plan. He also wants a jurisdictional determination on the wetlands, ensuring they are not federally controlled. According to Grady, Anderson plans a meet-

Additionally, members of the Ferry Riders Opinion Group (FROG) and the Voice of Washington State (VOWS,) two online survey panels made up of about 50,000 people from all over the state, will have the chance to vote on the three names via an online survey to be sent out in January.

That left three names still eligible: “Cowlitz,” “Suquamish” and “Sammamish.” The commission will discuss the three remaining names at their Jan. 12-13 meeting in Olympia and is seeking public comment on the names as part of its review and selection process.

OPINION

There are two sides to Christmas Day Christmas is not always a great holiday for all people, is it? For instance, today, Christmas Eve, is the third anniversary of the passing of Issaquah Press Sports Editor Bob Taylor. Not only does it still ring a somber note in our newsroom but surely will always color the holiday in a darker hue for his wife and adult son. Greg And that’s minor in comparison to San Farrar Bernardino, Calif., where the families of 14 killed and more than 20 wounded will be struggling with the pain and loss of an attack only three weeks old. The Paris terror attack is only six weeks ago on Christmas Day tomorrow. Here in Issaquah, for the residents of Tent City 4 at the Hans Jensen Campground, “It’s just another day,” one of the 27 homeless residents tells Issaquah Press reporter Tom Corrigan. So what is the good news in tomorrow’s holiday? It’s going to be found in the dozens of coats that were donated to them and the members of churches who organize to provide dinners. The good news is found in the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank’s Holiday Gift Barn, which provided gifts for more than 1,300 low-income children throughout the Issaquah School District. It’s also in the people who stepped up to donate, fund and distribute 300 boxes of a seven-day supply of breakfasts and lunches given away Dec. 17 to children whose subsidized school lunches will not be available over winter break. It’s found in the thousands of people in this county who are like my wife Judi, who keeps her eye on department store toy sales all year for the best deals, and by December has about a dozen big boxes full of toys to deliver to our local fire station. The fact that bad things are always going on and that there always people in distress could leave a constant, debilitating and paralyzing feeling of hopelessness. But it doesn’t. We respond. We remember what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about a birth, and birth is a good thing. But that birth is taken with a grain of salt, because it also sets in motion a story that leads to a death. But wait, that’s not the final chapter for those who believe that the final outcome is a rebirth. And regardless of one’s choice of faith, there is something that every one of us can do. I would say that we each just take the moral compass out of our pocket and see which way the needle is pointing. Is it pointing only to the big holiday meal, the fancy tree, the bowl game or the annual frantic dash to the mall? Or is it pointing toward someone who doesn’t have what I have and can use a shoulder to cry on or some clothing to be warm in? I know so many people in this town whose compasses point in the right direction that it isn’t funny. Join in! Christmas is not always a great holiday, but it can always be a holiday for good.

Letters to the Editor Ace is the place? We want it to return

For those of you who are do-it-yourself homeowners, whether it be a hobby or on an as-needed basis, I for one miss Ace Hardware’s presence in Sammamish. Not only does it have row after row of goodies, its staff is unmatched in knowledge and customer service. With all the new construction up here on the plateau, I thought it a good time to once again ask those who feel like we do to please call Ace at 866-290-5334 and make a request. Although each Ace is independently owned, perhaps if enough of us put in a call we might get moved to the front burner for the next person who wants to open a franchise in our neighborhood. Ace is currently located in Renton,

Kirkland, and Carnation, none of which are close enough for a quick trip for a home project that’s on hold. Glenda and Mike Jackson Sammamish

Valderrama the best choice for Sammamish mayor In a few weeks, the City Council has a crucial decision to make when it sets the leadership for the next term. One of the first acts of the new council will be to (internally) vote on a mayor. The new mayor should be Ramiro Valderrama. Ramiro has earned the trust of the citizens, and the rest of the council should recognize that. In November, the electorate sent a very clear signal

to the City Council that the voters want a new direction. We want a City Council that is more open and transparent, and a council that gives our city better leadership as we struggle with problems created by poor road planning, traffic issues and major changes to the environmental conditions and surroundings. We will have a new city manager, and we need a mayor who shares the views of the citizens and has demonstrated the ability to “mend fences.” I sincerely hope that our City Council doesn’t ignore the voters and attempt to keep a “Gang of Four” mentality intact. Electing Ramiro Valderrama will be a muchneeded sign that the council listens to the voters. Mike Grady Sammamish

McDonald’s – Sammamish

The Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, as expected, has approved a 4.8 percent hike in water rates and a 3 percent increase in sewer rates. The action was taken at a Dec. 14 meeting of the district’s board of commissioners, who also approved the district’s 2016 budget. In addition to standard operating, repair and replacement costs, the district hopes to fund a major water-meter replacement project in 2016, along with seismic improvements to water facilities over the next several years. The district’s 4.8 percent increase in water rates will be distributed within the rate structure as a 5.5 percent change in the base water charge and a 4 percent change in the variable rate based on water consumption. A single-family residential customer using from 350 cubic feet to 750 cubic feet of water per month will experience a monthly increase ranging from $1.66 to $1.98 on their water bill. For sewer charges, the district’s proposal increases the monthly sewer rate for a single-family residential customer by 97 cents to $33.16 each month. According to information supplied by the district, some of that increase will fund $7.5 million in sewer capital improvement projects between 2016 and 2021. With the rate increases, the district leaders say they will not need to take on additional debt to fund projects through 2021. The Sammamish Plateau district serves Sammamish, Issaquah and some unincorporated areas of King County. The district has an annual budget of $35 million and serves nearly 64,000 local residents. Find more information on the rate hikes on the district’s financial page at spwsd.org/finance.asp.

From Page 3 ing with the city and Conner-Jarvis. He feels the opposition should have a seat at that table, but was not invited. This was the second time the hearing itself generated controversy. The hearing started out with two days of testimony back in August. The first delay started when the city asked consultant Watershed/ Wetland Resources not to testify for the Conner-Jarvis opposition. Watershed has contracts with the city, and Sammamish officials were wary of a conflict of interest. “What did the city fear?” Grady asked at the time, noting Sammamish did not

object when Watershed testified in another recent hearing. Galt gave Grady and the opposition time to find a new expert witness, who testified in October. He then granted the city and the developer time to refute that testimony. Scheduling conflicts began to appear, and the hearing never really got going again until earlier this month. “It’s all been very complicated,” said Joanne Wright, another member of the ConnerJarvis opposition. “There were reams of scientific data.” Should the developer and the city win the day, it is not clear if the opposition will keep fighting. The group has the right to appeal any decision in a King County court.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Skyline boys basketball finds ways to win with new leadership By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com

By Greg Farrar/gfarrar@sammamishreview.com

Skyline’s Ben Smith (24) scores while being fouled by Newport’s Jye Hill (11) during the first quarter of their Dec. 15 game. Smith made it a 3-point play from the free-throw line.

With a new coach and a roster full of players short on varsity experience, the Skyline Spartans are missing some key ingredients for success in Class 4A KingCo Conference boys basketball games. However, the Spartans seem to be willing and able to embrace the tactics of coach Ben Williams, who has seen gradual improvement in each of his team’s first five games. Skyline rallied in the fourth quarter and eventually prevailed in overtime, 62-57, over the host Newport Knights in a Dec. 15 matchup, the Spartans’ second straight win after three lopsided losses to start the KingCo schedule. Williams became Skyline’s coach just two weeks before practices began in November, moving just a half-mile to the south after four seasons as an assistant under Bill Liley at 3A powerhouse Eastside Catholic. The Spartans, who have only two seniors, have had to master a new way of doing things in a short amount of time. Williams said his system is “as different as it could possibly be” from that of former coach Bill McIntyre. “Everything we do has been an adjustment, but everyone is doing a really good job taking to it,” See SPARTANS, Page 11

Eastlake gymnasts Skyline wrestlers sweep take fourth at Inglemoor, Newport KingCo meet By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com

By Greg Farrar/gfarrar@sammamishreview.com

Eastlake sophomore Anna Ungureanu performs the first of two vaults and earns 8.1 points for fifth place.

Eastlake finished fourth out of four teams at a Class 4A KingCo Conference gymnastics meet held Dec. 17 at Issaquah High School. The Wolves scored 118.9 points, finishing behind first-place Bothell (159.95), Issaquah (150.8) and Inglemoor (121.1). Rebecca Kopper was Eastlake’s top finisher in the all-around competition, scoring 25.8 points for 14th place. Anna Ungureanu (15th, 25.6), Payton Lester (17th, 24.1) and Silvia Calinov (21st, 22.5) also competed. Bothell’s Jade Sitzmann swept all four individual events to capture the allaround title with 35.5 points. Ungureanu turned in Eastlake’s top score an individual event, 8.1 for fifth place in the vault. Kopper also scored 8.1 on the beam, good for eighth place.

Aces take the title at state cup tourney

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com

After a successful regular season, the Eastlake Aces under-15 boys soccer team won seven straight games to win its division championship at the Washington State Youth Soccer Association’s Recreational Cup. The Aces outscored their playoff opponents 24-3, including five shutout victories. They earned a 3-2 win in the quarterfinals, a 3-0 win in the semifinals, and a 2-0 victory in the championship game. Most of the players reside in Sammamish, with the majority attending Eastlake High School and Inglewood Middle School.

Williams said. “They’re excited. It has been a lot of fun, actually, but it has been very different.” The Spartans dropped their first three KingCo games to Redmond, Inglemoor and Bothell by an average of 18 points. But they broke through with a 54-53 victory against Eastlake on Dec. 12, and followed up with a pulsating road win over Newport, which had started conference play with three wins in four outings, including an upset of Woodinville. One of Skyline’s seniors, Braden Ahlemeyer, made his

season debut at Newport and came up with some clutch plays. The 6-foot-7 forward scored 14 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, including four straight free throws that ended Newport’s final comeback attempt. Ahlemeyer admitted to being overconfident, which led to a shaky first half. “I started off really slow because I kind of came in thinking it was going to be easy, just thinking that I was going to average 20 points a game,” he said. “And I

came in and I kind of got knocked around a little bit.” Ahlemeyer laid the ball in to tie the score with about 2 minutes left in regulation, and after Skyline’s Kellan Przybylski scored with 29 seconds left, the Knights had a chance to hold for a final shot and break a 47-47 deadlock. Newport’s AJ Block seemed to have a good look at a midrange jumper from the left corner, but Ahlemeyer shifted over at the last moment and got a hand on the shot as time expired.

Newport’s Cole Ruud Johnson, who led all scorers with 25 points, couldn’t complete a 3-point play with 1:06 left in overtime, and Przybylski broke a 56-56 tie with a backdoor layup. Skyline got two stops at the defensive end and Ahlemeyer salted the game away with free throws. Ahlemeyer isn’t in prime playing shape yet – Williams said he was “sucking wind” early on – but he found a way to dig deep when it mattered most. “My teammates, they

The Eastlake High School boys swimming and diving team went on the road and captured its second win of the season Dec. 17, defeating the host Juanita Rebels 114-72 in a nonconference outing. The Wolves won nine of 12 events, including a pair of individual victories for sophomore Brandon Yue in the 50-yard freestyle (23.07 seconds) and 100-yard breaststroke (1:01.47). The latter time was good enough for an automatic berth into February’s Class 4A state championship meet. Yue is looking to build upon a quality freshman season that ended with two state medals – fifth in the breaststroke and fifth in the 400 free relay. Eastlake swept the three relay events against Juanita, starting with the 200 medley relay. Yue combined with Nolan Van Nortwick, Markus Zimmermann and Cory Flynn to win in 1:48.17. The Wolves took the top two spots in the 1-meter diving event with Rylan Gordon (210.15 points) and Bryce Bussiere (188.25). See SWIM, Page 12

got me back into the game, because I was almost taking myself out of it mentally,” Ahlemeyer said. In the first three quarters, it was the sharpshooting Przybylski who kept Skyline’s offense humming. He hit three 3-pointers in the first quarter, three more in the third, and finished with a team-high 22 points. The 5-11 junior set a new single-game school record with eight 3-pointers in a Dec. 8 loss to Bothell. “He knows he has the

green light,” Williams said. “He’s a great shooter and guys like him, in our system, they score a ton of points.” “He’s our leading scorer right now and he’s incredible from behind the 3-point line,” Ahlemeyer added. “If we screen and get him open, we can count on him to hit the open shot.” Skyline will be playing at the Bulldog Holiday Classic in Mount Vernon after Christmas, and returns to KingCo play at Redmond at 7:15 p.m. Jan. 5.
