Key suspect nabbed in Eastside crime ring Hundreds of homes targeted over two years BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Bill Southwell has turned the iconic 1960s round building on Maple Street into a coffee shop called Mondos. Southwell got started in the coffee business at the same time as Starbucks and Tully’s, but life led him down a different path. CELESTE GRACEY,

SPILLING THE BEANS Issaquah’s newest entrepreneur recalls the rise of the espresso industry

aple Street’s round 1960s building has been many things in its life. It first opened as a hamburger shop with a large rotating sign centered on top. Later, it turned in the home of the 12th Ave. Cafe, a coffee shop, a Mexican restaurant and, most recently, another burger joint. A serious tenant hasn’t

settled in the unusual space in a decade, at least not one as passionate as Bill Southwell. He opened his third Mondo’s in the iconic Issaquah space this fall. An original espresso man, he joined the coffee trade in the 1980s, about the same time Howard Shultz first bought Starbucks. In spite of Southwell’s tales of success in riding the rise of the espresso bar,

his story landed him in a humbler place, but with a happier family. When he first decided to leave lawyering, he made plans to open a take-andbake pizza place. That plan was set aside when he met Joe Monoghan, now the U.S. president of La Marzocco. At the time Monoghan was importing coffee bars and beans from Italy. Southwell figured that he could open three espresso bars for the same cost of one pizza place. “The movement was just getting started,” he said. “It OPEN MON - SAT 9am - 6pm

was intoxicating, and it was just fun.” He had opened six Piccolo’s when he first met Shultz, who only had about eight. Southwell recalls teasing Shultz that someday they might be competitors. “They didn’t look that big.” At the time Starbucks had a deal with Peet’s Coffee that it wouldn’t cross into California for five years. Southwell took advantage of the deal, and opened several espresso bars down south. His momentum was fast and in a few years he had opened about 40 Piccolo’s. The growth of the company came to a halt when his VP of operations, Dick Steinbock, was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. SEE COFFEE, 21

Sammamish Police arrested a key suspect in an Eastside crime ring, which is allegedly responsible for hundreds of home burglaries in the past two years. Prosecutors allege that James Franklin Kennemer, 26, used his background in tree trimming to scope out homes to break into. If homeowners answered the door, he pretended to solicit a sale, but if they were gone he’d break in through a back entrance, said Sgt. Jessica Sullivan, from the Sammamish Police Department. Kennemer didn’t raise suspicions, because he had tree trimming experience, she said. “They could talk the talk if someone answered the door.” He’s been charged with burglarizing at least five homes in Sammamish, Bothell, Redmond and Woodinville. He was also charged with stealing firearms, unlawful possession of a firearm, possessing stolen property and trafficking stolen property, according to the charging papers. After his arrest, police drove him around various neighborhoods, where he voluntarily pointed out homes he remembered burglarizing, Sullivan said. Kennemer had been arrested in connection to a Sammamish burglary in April. It’s yet unknown whether charges were filed in that case. He told police before the April arrest, he burglarized about three homes a day for two years, according to the papers. While Kennemer was known to several police departments, Sammamish broke the case when they found some stolen jewelry had been sold. The jewelry belonged to a Sammamish woman, whose bedroom was ransacked Sept. 28. She reported about $210,000 in missing gold pieces from India. About a week later, police learned that Kennemer’s girlfriend, who hasn’t been charged, sold some of the gold at a jewelry shop in Federal Way. The Reporter doesn’t name suspects who haven’t been charged. Kennemer told police he didn’t break into the Sammamish home, but he went to pick up the man who did. The man pulled out a pillowcase so stuffed with jewelry, it looked like it had a basketball in it, according to the papers. The man has yet to be charged. So far the only evidence in his involvement is a statement from Kennemer. Kennemer went with the man’s girlfriend to sell about $17,000-worth of the jewelry that day. SEE CRIME RING, 8

Steve Lloyd, one of the gardeners at the Flatland Community Garden in Issaquah, dumps compost made from food scraps collected from 10 Issaquah families two months ago. The King County project meant to display the full circle of composting. CELESTE GRACEY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter pounds of waste. Cedar Grove then turned those scraps into compost, and returned the finished product to the Issaquah Flatland Community Garden, which donates much of its food to the local food bank. The goal of the project was to show how banana peels get recycled. Donna Misner was surprised by how much compost came out of the project. It was a big learning process for her whole family, she said. “I didn’t realize all the stuff I could compost.”

The biggest surprise for Misner was that bones could be composted, and for others it was that pizza boxes too could be thrown into the compost bins. While the truck dumped the compost, gardeners loaded up wheelbarrows with the steaming mass and dumped them into their beds.

No easy solutions to area’s gang problem BY STEVE STRACHAN FOR THE REPORTER

The other day I was flipping through the cable channels and came across the movie “Colors” with Robert Duvall and Sean Penn. The movie is about two Los Angeles police officers working in the Gang Unit. They deal with generational, entrenched gang issues in certain neighborhoods, and the overall tone of the movie is how hopeless and difficult reducing gang violence can be. The movie was made in 1988, 23 years ago. My point is that gang issues and the high-profile incidents that sometimes result from it are nothing new. The reasons behind the existence of gangs are complex, and any attempt to reduce or “solve” the gang problem is similarly complex. Gang issues exist in every region of the country and are often cyclical. Like crime itself, rises in gang violence are not directly linked to any specific trend, like a bad economy or reduced social spending. Law enforcement can have a significant effect on crime, and on gangs, but of course it is not the only answer. Enforcement deals only with the most extreme and advanced parts of the issue. You’ve heard the phrase “we can’t arrest our way out of a problem”, and it is true. However, coordinated intelligence, aggressive and targeted law enforcement, and strategic prosecution can have a significant effect on suppressing violence. It just won’t “solve” long-term gang involvement. We all know that takes a coordinated commitment to working with at-risk kids, the community making gang involvement unacceptable, and we also need to stop celebrating and promoting the gang culture in movies and entertainment. So where does that leave us right now? The fact is, law enforcement agencies in King County have been doing aggressive and coordinated enforcement related to gangs for some time. The recent events have brought more attention to the issue, and the Sheriff ’s Office is a partner with our municipal police departments to track, identify, arrest and prosecute the worst of the worst offenders. Our challenge is to not allow this enforcement effort, and the recent addition of more resources to the fight against gangs, to become the “flavor of the month” and to forget about it once something else has our collective attention. The heavy lifting of working with kids, preventing gang involvement and violence, and getting members out of the gang life will continue, and we need to remember that it is important, even when the attention fades. Steve Strachan is the chief deputy at the King County Sheriff ’s Office. He has 25 years of law enforcement experience. ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

A quick look on how the economy works Editor’s Note: The internet is a source of many things. The following came our way recently – author unknown. Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit . She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers’ loans). Word gets around about Heidi’s “drink now, pay later” marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi’s bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit . By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Heidi’s gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at Heidi’s local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi’s borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral!!! At the bank’s corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINK BONDS. These “securities” then are bundled and traded on international securities markets. Naive investors don’t really understand that the securities being sold to

them as “AAA Secured Bonds” really are debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb!!!, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation’s leading brokerage houses. One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by Heidi’s bar. He so informs Heidi. Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations to the bank she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Heidi’s 11 employees lose their jobs. Overnight, DRINK BOND prices drop by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank’s liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community. The suppliers of Heidi’s bar had

granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms’ pension funds in the BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. In addition, the laid-off workers’ pension funds and IRA’S all suffer substantial loss in value. Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class,nondrinkers who have never been in or heard of Heidi’s bar. Now do you understand?

We want parents to know that vaccination can help protect teens from this serious disease, and it is especially important during the school year. For preteens and teens, many activities that go hand-inhand with school can increase their risk of meningococcal disease, which can cause meningitis and take a child’s life in one day. Sharing water bottles or eating utensils at lunch, kissing and even staying up late make them more vulnerable. A recent survey found that nearly 82 percent of preteens and teens participate in these activities, increasing their risk for meningococcal disease. Parents can help protect their children by getting them vaccinated. Meningococcal vaccination is recommended beginning at age 11, with a booster dose by age 18; however, in Washington, roughly a third of adolescents have not yet been vaccinated. We urge parents to schedule a vaccination appointment as soon as possible.

Skyline swimmers 3-peat

SKYLINE (8-3) VS. CENTRAL VALLEY (8-2) Kickoff: 1 p.m., Saturday at Skyline High School

Kinnear wins 7th individual crown BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Katie Kinnear wasn’t with the Skyline swim team when the program won its first state title 2009, but she was proud to say she’s been a part of the last two. “This definitely says a lot about the girls on the team,” said the UCLAbound senior, after Skyline secured its third straight 4A championship on Saturday. Kinnear, who competed her first two years at Eastlake, played a key role in the Spartans’ 202 team points. Stadium (147) and Mt. Rainier (123) finished second and third, respectively. Kinnear won individual championships in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke and helped the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams to titles. Her 100 butterfly time of 53.46 was an automatic all-American time and her fourth straight state title in the event. She was just .36 seconds off the state record she set as a sophomore — as a member of the Eastlake team. Her first title in the 100 backstroke was her seventh

At stake: Winner moves on to face Woodinville or Union in the 4A semifinals.

overall individual championship, and her time of 54.60 was another automatic all-American mark. “She’s really been a great asset to the team,” Skyline head coach Susan Simpkins said. “I’ll miss her.” Skyline’s 200 medley relay of Sarah Elderkin, Andi Scarcello, Kinnear and Maria Volodkevich blazed to the finish line in an allAmerican consideration time of 1 minute, 47.22 seconds. The 400 free relay of Volodkevich, Meghan O’Keefe, Stephanie Munoz and Kinnear earned another all-American consideration time of 3:32.87. The Spartans had seven other swimmers and one relay place in the top 16, including O’Keefe’s fourthplace in the 100 fly and Scarcello’s sixth-place in the 100 breaststroke. “The girls did awesome, they really care about highschool swimming and the experience they get from it,” Simpkins said. “It’s been fun for me to watch them.” Issaquah finished fifth as a team on Saturday with 119 team points. Kayla Flaten finished

Breakdown: Skyline’s defense continues to get stronger week after week. The Spartans slowed a hot Mead rushing attack on the road last week. They’ll need to do the same this week against Central Valley. The Bears are a run-first team that mixes in the pass. Two running backs — Alex Jacot and Grayson Sykes — along with quarterback Gaven Deyarmin have combined for more than 1,500 yards on the ground. Like last week’s opponent, Mead, it’s doubtful Central Valley has seen a passing attack anywhere near the level of Skyline’s. Whoever can stop the other’s strength will move on to the semifinals.

EASTLAKE (10-1) VS. LAKE STEVENS (11-1) Kickoff: 7 p.m., Saturday at Eastlake High School At stake: Winner moves on to face Bellarmine Prep or Skyview in the 4A state semifinals.

The Skyline swim team gathers on the podium Saturday after winning their third straight 4A state swimming and diving title. JIM SIMPKINS, For The Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter second in the 100 breaststroke (1:06.15) and eighth in the 100 freestyle (53.75), while Stacy Maier was sixth in the 100 backstroke (58.51) and seventh in the 100 freestyle (53.59). The 200 free relay of Maier, Kayla Foremski, Gabrielle Gevers and Flaten placed second in 1:39.36

and the 200 medley relay of Maier, Flaten, Kellie-Marie Langan and Gevers were third in 1:51.19. Eastlake placed 25th as a team with 29 points. Kara Beauchamp led the way for the Wolves, ﬁnishing ﬁfth in the 200 IM (2:08.91) and sixth in the 500 freestyle (5:11.37).

Breakdown: There’s a lot on the line for Eastlake Saturday night as the Wolves look for the program’s first ever trip to the state semifinals. In order to reach the goal, they will have to contain one of the state’s most productive quarterbacks, Jake Nelson. The Lake Stevens signal caller has completed 188 of 262 passes for 2,508 yards, 25 TDs and just five INTs. He’s also rushed for over 600 yards and 14 TDs. Luckily for the Wolves, they play in one of the best passing conferences in the state and the defense should be prepared. On the flip side, Eastlake quarterback Keegan Kemp has completed 104 of 179 passes for 1,494 yards, 13 TDs, 9 INTs; and has rushed for 520 yards and 10 TDs. With running back Ryan Lewis (1,614 yards, 25 TDs) the Wolves pack a punch of their own. It could be a shootout on the Plateau this Saturday. For predictions of area football games go to the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter sports blog, The End Zone, at blogs.issaquah-reporter.com/endzone/.

Eastside Catholic volleyball finishes runner-up for fourth time Eastside Catholic worked its way to the title match, beating Enumclaw (3-0) and Camas (3-2) on Friday, before downing Mt. Spokane (3-1) in Saturday’s semiﬁnals. Kameron McLain had 15 kills in the semiﬁnal victory and Hannah Christie served up 32 assists. The Crusaders ended with an impressive 20-5 overall record.

SKYLINE NABS 6TH IN STATE

Skyline made an impressive run through the 4A state tournament, finishing with a sixth-place finish Saturday in Lacey. The Spartans started the tournament off Friday beating one of the tournament favorites, Bellarmine Prep, in five games. Skyline lost the first two games 28-26 and 25-20, before battling back to win the next

three games 25-23, 27-25 and 15-12. The Spartans then fell to Curtis (3-1), beat Kent Meridian (3-1) and lost to Puyallup (3-0) in the fifth-sixth place match. Skyline finished its season with a 16-6 record and its highest ever state placing. The Spartans finished seventh in 2000 and failed to place in their previous two attempts in 1998 and 2006.

Eastlake defense paves way to state semifinals Eastlake (10-1), which is making its first trip to the state quarterfinals since 2007, will host Lake Stevens (11-0) at 7 p.m., Saturday. An Eastlake victory would mark the program’s first ever trip to the semfinals. “One more to the Dome,” Quick said, smiling.

By kevin endejan kendejan@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.com

Trust is a theme Eastlake has relied on all season. The Wolves put their team motto on display in a big way Saturday, downing Federal Way 21-11 in the opening round of the 4A state football tournament. Facing a 3rd and goal from the Eagles’ 11-yard line, quarterback Keegan Kemp found running back Ryan Lewis open on a screen pass. Lewis gained 10 yards, but got bottled up at the 1-yard line. Instead of settling for a game-tying field goal attempt, Brian Quick reacted. “I saw that Lewis was getting stopped up and I was trying to push him forward,” said the senior wide receiver. “I had my arms inside to kind of secure the ball and I was just like ‘Give me the ball, let me have it, trust me.’” Trust him, he did. Lewis let go of the ball and Quick squirted into the end zone for a 7-3 lead with 8:12 left in the second quarter. The Wolves never trailed again. “That was smart on those guys’ part,” said Eastlake head coach Gene Dales, laughing at the idea of adding it to his playbook. From there, the Wolves’ defense took over — their largest play coming right before the end of the first half. With Federal Way lined up at Eastlake’s 10-yard line and just seconds remaining in the first half, linebacker Sean McDonald stepped in front of Evan Elliot’s pass, intercepting it at the goal line. The Wolves kneeled and took a 7-3 lead to the locker room. “That was huge momentum for us going into the half,” McDonald said. “They were going to get the ball at the start of the (second) half so we didn’t want them to get a score.” Eastlake tacked on two second-half scores to take a 21-3 lead.

skyline survives trip to spokane

Skyline survived frigid temperatures, snow flurries and a long road trip to defeat Greater Spokane League Champion Mead, 27-17 Saturday afternoon. The Spartans’ passing game wasn’t hindered as quarterback Max Browne came up with some big plays, including an 82-yard touchdown pass to Tagart Krueger. Browne (1227, 222 yards) also hit Mason Gregory for a 19-yard TD and Jack Valencia for a 37-yard score.

Eastlake’s Gino Bresolin wraps up Federal Way’s DJ May Saturday night. david sheffels, For The Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter Kemp (9-14, 97 yards) found Danny Grotjahn for a 10yard TD with 4:25 left in the third quarter. Then, with 27 seconds left in the game, Lewis (28 carries, 132 yards) plunged into the end zone from 2 yards out. The score kept a streak of 11 straight games with at least one TD alive for Lewis, who now has 25 on the season. The Wolves’ defense dominated in the second half, holding the Eagles to just 14 second-half yards before allowing a 59-yard TD pass with just 6 seconds remaining. Eastlake held Federal Way to 154 total yards. “Our defense played like they have all year long, they played very, very well,” Dales said.

For the fourth straight season, the Skyline girls soccer team is headed to the state semifinals. The Spartans defeated Kentwood 1-0 Saturday night, via a big penalty kick goal from senior Jackie Wilson. Setting up at midfield in the 14th minute, the defender booted a free kick 50 yards. The shot cleared the Conquerors defense and bounced into the bottom left corner of the net. “Jackie was able to deliver the perfect ball to create the opportunity and put the pressure on Kentwood,” head coach Don Braman said. The score was all the Spartans needed as goalkeeper Tina Vargas recorded her eighth shutout of the season. Skyline (16-0-2) will face Tahoma — the same team that beat the Spartans in last year’s semifinals — on Nov. 18 at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup. “As much as it’s daunting to play a good team like Tahoma, I must admit that I was pleased that the girls will have a chance to set

things right after last year,” Braman said. “They want revenge and to get even. But please be clear — while we’re going down there to take care of Tahoma on Friday, we know that there will be more work to do beyond that game, so we must bring our best.”

Thanks to a dominant effort from the defense and a trademark performance from its patented Wing-T, Bellevue rolled past Eastside Catholic 42-0 in the first round of the 3A state tournament Friday to setup a showdown with Lakes. Bellevue began the game with touchdowns on four of its first six drives. Eastside Catholic, by contrast gained only 79 yards the first six times it had the ball. The Crusaders ended their season with a 7-4 record, earning their first trip to the 3A state playoffs since 2008.

CRIME RING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Sammamish police spent about three weeks tracking Kennemer, until he lost his sister’s cell phone during a burglary in Bothell. The Sammamish investigating officer followed Kennemer from his Everett home, where he initiated a traffic stop. Kennemer then fled in a dramatic scene, according to the papers. As soon as he learned he was under arrest, he sped

away in his car. Crashing off the side of the road with an explosion of dirt, his car began to roll. Kennemer opened his door and looked back at the pursuing officer. Rolling his car another 100 feet down an embankment, he jumped out of the moving car. The officer drew his gun and demanded that Kennemer stop. Instead Kennemer jumped a gate and began running through a wooded neighborhood. A neighbor saw a car pick him up. Police allegedly found

thousands in stolen goods in the car, including a wad of cash and jewelry. It was supposedly where Kennemer stored his most valuable items. That night police picked up two of Kennemer’s friends, who told police Kennemer returned to his apartment after the incident to recover a couple of stolen guns, according to the papers. Police didn’t finally arrest Kennemer until Nov. 2, when he visited an Everett casino with his girlfriend. The staff recognized the girlfriend from police fliers. The two tried to flee again in a Pontiac. The car was forced to stop, and when Kennemer fled, police caught him on foot behind a youth center. At least seven other people, all described as jobless drug users, were implicated in the crime ring. So far, about $35,000 in jewelry and two handguns have been recovered. Bail for Kennemer was set at $50,000. If convicted, Kennemer could face up to 12 years in prison. Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

Cool Dish, No Ice Cream Maker Required How to make peppermint ice cream using only 3 ingredients – and no machinery by MATTHEW M. F. MILLER

EASY PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM Recipe created by Matthew M. F. Miller Serves 12 28 candy canes 2 cups halfand-half

4 cups heavy whipping cream

1. Unwrap candy canes and place in a freezer bag. Seal bag and use a rolling pin to beat candy canes into tiny pieces. Pour candy cane bits into the bottom of an eight-quart freezer-safe container. 2. Pour whipping cream and half and half on top of candy cane bits. Stir until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, stirring occasionally. 3. Remove from fridge and stir until blended. Pour mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip until soft peaks begin to form. 4. Place cream back into freezer safe container and freeze until setup, about 8 to 12 hours.

rowing up in the Midwest, there wasn’t a holiday that didn’t get a little merrier courtesy of a scoop of homemade ice cream. Aside from the Cool Whip-topped pumpkin variety, there wasn’t a pie baked in the twelvemonth cycle that didn’t receive the hand-cranked a la mode treatment. Christmas was no exception. Sure, 12 inches of snow blanketing the Iowa cornfields was enough to freeze your outsides, but has your tongue ever really been too cold for ice cream? Really? On top of pecan pie? Nonsense. Now that I have my own children, I try not to make ice cream the household staple it was in my

youth. Since it’s not a regular occurrence (I prefer to see my feet when I look down) there’s really no way to justify buying and storing an ice cream maker to produce two to three batches a year. At least that’s what my wife tells me. Thus came my inspiration for Easy Peppermint Ice Cream, a three-ingredient recipe for the creamiest, fluffiest, richest and – frankly – cheapest ice cream around. If peppermint isn’t your flavor, feel free to use any hard sugar candy in its place.

How to be a courteous, responsible and interesting guest at this year’s holiday party | by LISA IANNUCCI

ut down the smartphone, close the laptop and bid adieu to that stream of Facebook updates for a few hours. When heading out to a holiday party, it’s time to focus on being a good guest – face-to-face. First, being a great guest and having a wonderful party experience starts well before the day of the celebration. “No matter how you were invited, whether by regular invitation or by email, RSVP to it even if it isn’t requested,” says Daniel Post Senning, of the Emily Post Institute, great-greatgreat grandson of Emily Post and co-author of the upcoming 18th edition of “Emily Post’s Etiquette” (William Morrow, 2011). “Even if you were invited to a party or to see a holiday movie with friends through an event invitation on Facebook, make sure they know you plan on attending.” Once a commitment to attend has been made, Post says to make sure to arrive on time. “It’s a small, but important courtesy,” he says. Also, never arrive at an event empty-handed. “Guests should always arrive with a gift for their host, even something small like a bag of coffee, and then send a thank you note after the fact,” says Leah Ingram, author of “The Everything Etiquette Book” (Adams, 2005). “You can send a thank-you gift if you’d like, too.” Now that you’ve arrived, it’s time to mingle. If you’re a bundle of nerves and don’t know how to “work” a party, do not rush in and head straight to the food or bar area, says Dorothea Johnson, founder of The Protocol School of Washington and the author of “Tea & Etiquette: Taking Tea for Business & Pleasure” (Benjamin Press, 2009). Instead, Johnson says that a good guest greets the host first but doesn’t take up much of their time. “You have to be considerate that the host has other guests,” she says. “Then it’s your duty to mingle with the other guests and make your presence known.” Once you’ve greeted your host, it’s time to turn your attention to the other guests. Johnson says she learned a lot from watching former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at parties. “Kissinger would come in, move to the right and look into the crowd,” says Johnson. “I always thought he was looking for someone, but he was making sure everyone saw him. He would greet people and move his way around the room until everyone was in the center with him. He made eye contact and never walked away without saying ’excuse me.’ It was brilliant, and everyone should do that.” If you’re great at online chat, but talking face-to-face leaves you tongue-tied, Johnson suggests going straight to someone you know. “But don’t spend all evening with them,” she says Johnson. “You should expand yourself and your knowledge by talking to people you don’t know.” While you’re enjoying the party, Ingram reminds you that you’re still a guest no matter how comfortable you are. “Understand that you are a guest in their house and don’t make demands of the host as if you were staying in a hotel – make my bed, turn down your music, et cetera,” she says. If you’re the one hosting the party, Ingram suggests finding out ahead of time what food your guests like so you don’t find yourself in uncomfortable situations where the guests aren’t eating or complaining about the food (a no-no) because there isn’t anything they like. Together, a great host and great guests are guaranteed to create a great party.

One Gourmet Meal, All the Fixin’s, Straight From the Box A stress-free holiday meal? Can it be true? Buying dinner in a box from the local supermarket could save money, deliver great taste and lessen the cooking load. Here’s how to ‘prepare’ the meal of their dreams | by BEV BENNETT

s you plan your holiday gathering with family and friends, you’re recalling the wonderful experiences of previous years. But cooking the festive meal, which some consider the highlight of the celebration, may not be your fondest memory. Maybe spending a day in the kitchen is as stressful for you as a root canal. There is an alternative, and it’s not making a dinner reservation for 24. Instead, you can order a precooked dinner from your local supermarket. Imagine a roast turkey or baked ham. Mashed potatoes with gravy. Stuffing. Cranberry sauce. Sweet potatoes. Rolls. Dessert. All you have to do warm the courses before serving. You’ll have a traditional menu on the table in a fraction of the time it takes to make it from scratch. However, you may feel a twinge of guilt – aren’t you supposed to work your culinary magic?

Maybe you’re like Missy Chase Lapine, who’s not comfortable unless she puts her own stamp on dinner. That’s why “it’s fantastic to add your personal touch,” says Lapine, author of “The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals” (Running Press, 2007). Decide what you want to leave to the supermarket’s culinary team and what you’d prefer to either prepare or embellish.

For example, maybe you’d like to free yourself from babysitting a turkey for 6 hours. Many cooks consider the main protein intimidating and time-consuming, says Lapine. Let a supermarket assume the turkey-roasting task while you exercise your ingenuity with the side dishes. [ more GOURMET next page ]

2011 H O L I D AY E N T E R TA I N I N G [ GOURMET from previous page ] “For some people it’s all about the bird. I think people need to be mindful of the things that come along the sides of the plate,” says Julie Jones, Ph.D., professor emeritus of foods and nutrition at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn. If you’re only seeing white – stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls – ask for colorful enhancements or add your own. Add the supermarket’s green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and carrots to the order. Switch from white to whole-wheat rolls if you have the choice. Always add your own fresh salad. It’s easy to do and

MAKE WAY FOR TURKEY The day before your festive meal your refrigerator is about to get very full. Make sure you have room for the food. If the dishes you bring home are still hot from the supermarket, divide the items into smaller amounts and pack in separate covered containers for faster chilling in the refrigerator. If the food was cooked and chilled at the store, place it in covered containers and refrigerate. Your supermarket may offer the option of a cooked, stuffed turkey. If that’s your choice you should buy it hot to eat immediately, according to the food safety experts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Otherwise, purchase a cooked, unstuffed bird to reduce the risk food-borne illness. To reheat a turkey, preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the bird in a shallow roasting pan. Add a small amount of chicken broth to keep the meat moist and lightly cover the bird with heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent it from drying. Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, not touching

will be a welcome addition for those who don’t want to fill up on starches. “Buy a bag salad; add feta cheese, spinach and walnuts for crunch,” says Dee Sandquist, a registered dietitian spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Pick up raw prepared vegetables in bags; add a yogurt dip and you’re adding nutritional value to the meal, she adds. Although packaged meals usually include a dessert classic, such as pumpkin pie or fruit cobbler, your guests will appreciate a fresh and light alternative. Offer sliced pears, drizzled with honey and walnuts, or vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt with thawed frozen blueberries.

bone. When heated through the bird’s internal temperature should reach 165 F. To reheat a spiral-sliced baked ham, preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the meat in a shallow roasting pan, cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and heat for about 10 minutes per pound of ham. A meat thermometer should read 165 F. Heat vegetables and stuffing in covered containers either in a microwave or a conventional oven, using appropriate cookware. Soup and gravy can be heated in a microwave oven or on top of the stove over low heat.

RESOURCES: For more information on heating and storing cooked turkey and stuffing and ham, visit the following web sites: www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/lets_talk_turkey/index. asp www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/Stuffing_and_Food_ Safety/index.asp www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/ham/index.asp

DRESSING UP THE MENU Think of a supermarket’s holiday meal as the plain white T-shirt. It covers the essentials, but with some adornment, it can be a knockout. Accessories include nuts, herbs, olive oil, cheese, wine and/or spirits, honey and fruit. Start with appetizers, the course that sets the tone. Your simple but elegant opening gambit is fresh figs, stuffed with a little cheese, maybe Gorgonzola or Camembert, and wrapped in sliced prosciutto. You can heat it just until the cheese melts, says Julie Jones, Ph.D., who works with the California Fig Advisory Board. Dinner rolls don’t have to be an afterthought, not if you follow a tip from Missy Chase Lapine, author of the upcoming book, “The Speedy Sneaky Chef.” “I always warm them, no matter what. It makes them taste better,” says Lapine. She recommends heating rolls in a conventional oven, not a microwave. For another layer of flavor, brush the rolls with olive oil, sprinkle with a little coarse salt and chopped rosemary, before putting them in the oven.

“It gives [the roll] a wonderful homemade taste,” adds Lapine. Switch to an elegant fig and Port reduction in place of the gravy, suggests Jones. If you prefer an easy approach using the gravy that comes with the prepared meal, you can enliven the flavor. Pour the gravy into a small saucepan. Add a generous pinch of minced fresh sage and a splash of dry vermouth. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until your company crowds the kitchen. We all know nuts are delicious, but they’re even better after toasting. “If you’re serving nuts of any kind, toast them in a dry skillet for two to three minutes, adding a little rosemary,” says Lapine, who recommends herb-toasted nuts as an appetizer. Although you may not expect guests to clamor for vegetables, you can change that. Stir minced chives into the mashed potatoes; drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over baked squash, sprinkle toasted nuts on green beans or broccoli and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on baked potato wedges.

Soda Time! Add a bit of fizz to your holiday party with a homemade soda bar | by LINDSEY ROMAIN 1 DARK CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM SYRUP Makes 3 servings ¾ cup sugar ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup water 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine the sugar, cocoa powder and water in a small saucepan, and whisk together until smooth. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and stir in the milk and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, then chill. This syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To mix with seltzer: ½ cup ice-cold chocolate egg cream syrup ¼ cup crushed

ice ¾ cup seltzer, preferably from a siphon

Combine the syrup and crushed ice in a tall glass. Add the seltzer, aiming it toward the side of the glass to encourage a large white head of foam to rise to the top. Makes 1 serving.

ocializing is one of the joys of the holiday party, but to one likes to leave the conversation to fetch another drink from the kitchen. So bring the conversation to the drinks by setting up a homemade soda bar. It livens up the party and gives guests an opportunity to create their own fresh-flavored drinks. “You can go as high-tech or as low-tech as you want,” says Jeremy Butler, the selfprofessed Homemade Soda Expert who writes a blog of the same name. “It all depends on how you’re making and carbonating your soda, the amount of space you have and how much money you want to put into it.” More expensive routes involve converting chest freezers into chilled keg draft systems or bottling homemade club sodas, but for an easy party set-up, all that’s needed is a carbonated water source and pre-made syrups for guests to mix and experiment as they please.

parchment paper 2. Make the cookies: Combine sugars, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat eggs until light and fluffy; add butter and vanilla and continue beating until combined. A little at a time, add dry mixture to egg mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring until ingredients are fully incorporated. 3. Drop dough by heaping spoonful (about 2 ½ tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheet and bake 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature. 4. Top the underside of 1 cookie with 1 cup of ice cream and press a second cookie on top. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream. Tightly wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap and freeze at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.

The volume of flavors depends on the party, but Butler advises stocking up and being prepared. “I always go through more than I think I will,” he says, “so be sure to have extra syrup and carbonated water on hand.” Butler also says to allow plenty of space and to keep a checklist of other necessary items: syrups in easy-to-use dispensing bottles, clean glasses, adequate amounts of carbonated water and lots of ice. Keep cleaning materials nearby, because syrups can create a sticky mess. Purchasing premade syrups from the store may be

tives and artificial sweetening can muddle the ingredients list. Try making a simple syrup by boiling equal parts sugar and water. Or try other natural flavoring products, like agave syrup or honey. “Start with flavors that are nostalgic but basic,” says Butler. “If you can tap into what the main flavor components are in traditional holiday foods, you can probably adapt them into a soda: rum flavor and nutmeg for eggnog, peppermint for candy cane, molasses and ginger and cinnamon for gingerbread.” And don’t be afraid to experiment with more complex concoctions. Add milk to make a frothier, heartier drink, like an egg cream soda. Despite the name, egg cream sodas don’t actually contain egg; they get their name from the foam generated when the milk and carbonated water are combined. Try this recipe for a dark chocolate egg cream soda, excerpted from “Homemade Soda” by Andrew Schloss (Storey Publishing, 2011), or stick to Jeremy Butler’s recipes for candy cane and gingerbread sodas. 1

Party planning expert, Karen Bussen, offers these easy tips to put any hostess in the driver’s seat of her holiday celebration. 1 Stock a ’Holiday Party Pantry’ Find a place in your home (a cupboard, closet, or a few shelves) where you can collect basic elements to help you pull together a great celebration, even at the last minute. Think platters and large serving bowls for a start, and buy them on sale before the season for the best prices. Then add colorful table accents in your favorite holiday palette – place mats, a table runner, and napkins, along with seasonal touches like a box or two of ornaments you can use as napkin rings or to create a quick centerpiece. I recommend keeping non-perishable food items on hand too,

like spiced nuts, olives, dips, flatbreads and crackers, holiday cookies, even a great pancake mix or Panettone (fluffy Italian holiday fruitcake, available at good grocery stores) for an impromptu holiday brunch. 2 Buy Wines In Bulk Instead of running out at the last minute for Champagne and wine, stock up early. Visit a local wine shop or look online for deals. Most retailers will offer a discount on a case of wine (sometimes even a mixed case) so consider buying in bulk at the beginning of the season and you’ll be ready to toast on a moment’s notice. If you’re looking for a bargain, choose Prosecco or Cava over fancier Champagnes – they are party-friendly wines at a great price point. 3 Raise the Bar I also recommend keeping other bar basics on hand – one good vodka and a single malt scotch, plus a seasonal microbrew, and maybe a fun mixer or two (think Pomegranate martinis) are all you need to host a great holiday get-together.

4 Limit Menu and Drink Offerings You don’t have to serve eight hors d’oeuvres and a fourcourse meal. Focus on quality ingredients and a few delicious dishes. For drinks, serve a white and a red, a sparkling wine, and a signature cocktail that matches your color scheme. I suggest mixing up two pitchers of your chosen libation, setting one out in a pretty pitcher, then keeping the other in the refrigerator for instant replenishment. This way, you’re not playing bartender during the party. 5 Clear the Clutter Look at your space with an eye for mingling and flow. Reposition any chairs or tables that might create a bottleneck during the gathering. Get delicate objects out of the way before your guests arrive. And place food and drinks in several places to avoid crowding. 6 Glow For It Tis the season of light, and candles add instant magic to any holiday party – no flowers required! I recommend keeping unscented white votives and pillars on hand as they coordinate with any kind of décor and make a room feel warm and welcoming. Also, pick up a few holiday-scented candles – pine or pumpkin, for example, to use as accents in a foyer or powder room.

Sticky On the Inside

[19]

Stuffing the bird with sticky rice, a traditional Asian dish, is a gluten-free alternative to bread-based stuffing | by BETTINA CHANG

ticky rice. Hot pot. Long-life noodles. They might not sound like holiday dishes, but these are the types of entrees that graced my family’s holiday table when I grew up, both out of necessity and as a tribute to my parents’ home country. Our problem was that of many immigrant families – while we want to celebrate this ultimate American holiday as Americans do, we have our own traditions and (especially before the Internet and Food Network) didn’t know how to make the American foods we saw in the movies. That’s why my family settled on sticky rice instead of stuffing – that glob of cubed bread that my mom couldn’t figure out how to make, nor find appetizing. Years later, I ask my mom to explain the tradition behind sticky rice. In Taiwan, she says, it is customary for a family to give sticky rice with a hard-boiled egg that is dyed red (for good luck) as an announcement of a new child’s 1-month birthday. When the receiving family finishes the food, they return the plate filled with uncooked rice as a symbol of plenty. Nowadays, sticky rice is considered a comfort food that is often served at celebrations and family gatherings. Caroline Tsao, owner of 527 Café, a Taiwanese restaurant in

Evanston, Ill., says that the dish is a symbol of togetherness. “The rice itself is sticky, and there are many ingredients that all combine together for a flavor that everyone loves,” she says. “It means that everyone can stay together and enjoy each other’s company.” The Taiwanese dish is unique from Chinese iterations because of the use of fried shallots, Tsao says. The rest of the ingredients, which typically include dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and pork, can vary based on taste and preference. Jen Che, the Boston-based author of the award-winning food blog Tiny Urban Kitchen, says that the recipe is particularly forgiving and open to experimentation. “There’s a lot of room for mistakes and flexibility,” she says. “The sticky rice itself, the texture is so good. You can add more soy sauce or pork, or Chinese sausage if you want.” Although the traditional recipe may call for ingredients that are only available at Asian grocery stores, substitutions are easy to make. Che recommends shortcuts for people afraid of the multi-step process. “The easiest way is to just make the sticky rice separately [in a rice cooker], then sauté the other ingredients and mix it all together,” she says As with all types of comfort food, the best recipe is always the one you’re used to. “I’m sure hers tastes great!” Che says to me as we compare recipes. My mom maximizes the shallots and dried shrimp so she can cut down on salt and soy sauce. Her mom goes for the low-fat option, using less oil and cutting off the fatty parts of the pork. “At the end of the day, we like our moms’ food the best,” Che says.

Woman targeted in sweepstakes scam BY CELESTE GRACEY

POLICE BLOTTER

cgracey@issaquahreporter.com

The following information was compiled from city of Sammamish police reports: A 77-year-old Sammamish woman was scammed out of $2,250 after a fake sweepstakes company called her with a promise for $450,000 on Nov. 8. The scammers left a message on her phone saying she won and that the money was tax free, but that she had to pay money to cover the insurance, and told her to wire it to them from her bank. The next day they called and told her that they had made a mistake, and that they actually needed another $3,300 more in order for her to receive her winnings. They instructed her to go to a different branch to send the money, and when she did, the bank declined her, because it was too much money to send in one day. The scammers then called again, and said they made another mistake, and that her winnings were actually $4.5 million, and that they needed another $20,000 to give her the money. She then suspected she was being scammed, and talked to a friend who had her call the police.

Assault by wine glass A woman smashed a wine glass over her live-in boyfriend’s head after he slapped her Nov. 10 on the 500 block of 225th Lane Northeast, Sammamish. They had been drinking and the girlfriend had been smoking marijuana, when they got into an argument. She told police that the boyfriend slapped her. In response, she threw her wine glass on his head, causing deep lacerations. An aid car arrived before police. The man went out to meet them, but declined help. Holding a white towel up to his head, he told police that he didn’t want to be the victim, and said the wound had mostly stopped bleeding. The officer thought he would need stitches.

The woman invited police into the home, where she told them the story and said she was “OK” with being arrested.

Burglars hit game store The night after a game store had been burglarized someone tried to make entry again, but without success. Two suspects, dressed in black with gloves and masks, entered through the back door at about 3 a.m. Nov. 12 and made off with several boxes of unopened merchandise. Police showed up to check on the business shortly after the alarm sounded. The building appeared secured, but when the manager came the next morning, he discovered the padlocks on the back door were unlocked and sitting on a back shelf. Only three other employees had keys to open the door, and the manager didn’t recognize the two suspects as any of them. He had worked everyday for the passed week, and didn’t notice the padlocks were unsecured at the building on the 22800 block of Northeast Eighth Street.

TV ripped from wall Ripping a chain and lock from the wall, a suspect made off with a plasma TV, which was mounted on a wall, from an apartment complex on the 22600 block of Northeast Inglewood Hill Road on Nov. 7. Several screens had been cut in the fitness room windows, but there were so many cut, the officer couldn’t for sure determine if that was how the burglar entered the facility. Total loss was estimated to be about $2,000. Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

Southwell would come to realize how much he depended on the man. Inspired by what was happening in the fast food industry, Southwell proposed that the company capitalize on the movement. The drive thru was a new idea for espresso. His board of directos decided instead to focus on its expansions in New York. That decision combined with increased traveling made Southwell decide to move on. Entrepreneurship still thick in his blood, he invested his own money in opening Mondo’s in Eastgate about 16 years ago. It took him about two years to negotiate the lease. He also has a location in Totem Lake. An Issaquah man, he gave up the chance to lease the Maple Street building, and has regretted it for six years. He took his time cleaning up the space. High arching eves, now painted green, circle the building. Tall open windows flood the space with light, and checkered flooring plays with the funky style. The drive-thru is fitting for the space, as custom-

ers can literally circle the building for their drink. He also striped the otherwise oversized and patchy parking lot. Espresso shots, including the highly-caffeinated white coffee, are hand pressed. The prices are lower than average, but the espresso isn’t lacking. In addition to the typical cafe fair, Southwell also sells Mondo dogs. The quarterpound hotdogs are split and grilled. Looking like a casually dressed lawyer with blue corduroy pants, Southwell sipped his morning espresso at the new cafe. “Why am I not Starbucks? I wish I was,” he said. “Howard Shultz surrounded himself with good people.” Southwell had lost his best partner to Lou Gehrig’s disease. Then, still in thought, his demeanor changed a bit and he leaned forward. If Piccolo’s had made it big, he wouldn’t have had as much time with his family, he said, smiling as he spoke of them. Looking back, “I probably wouldn’t change too many things.” Issaquah Reporter Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

It’s hard to imagine any other actress playing the title role of the sharpshooter Oakley, who in real life was inducted into the cowgirl hall of fame. Noon, fresh from Broadway musical “Wicked,” brought more than simply her famous, powerhouse voice to the mix, which never broke from its rural, Middle America drawl. She simply was Oakley.

ent, spunk and sense of humor that helped her get it just right. The result was a character you can’t help but adore – a sassy lady who knows she’s the best, says “tharr” instead of “there” and who is such a sure shot, she claims she barely has to aim – and just pulls the trigger. While nowhere near as experienced as Noon, Niemeyer, fresh from the KIDSTAGE program, was another force who helped carry the show. From her near-perfect ponche split at the end of the song, “Who Do You Love, I Hope” it’s clear that this young woman is a triple-threat ready to take the regional, or even New York, musical theater world by storm. These women, and other standout actors, plus the entire spectacle that is the show, make “Annie Get Your Gun” a welcome relief in winter entertainment from all the holiday offerings.

The Eastlake High School drama team will perform its annual fall play “Hello Herman” by John Buffalo Mailer tonight through Saturday at the school. Tickets are $7 for students, children, and seniors, and $10 for general admission. The play is at 7:30 p.m. Friday, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The play shows deals with what happens when people disregard the the value of human life and give in to the urge towards violence. The department has rated it PG-13, so viewer discretion is advised. Set in Broome, Iowa in 2006, Hello Herman begs the question of finding what drives a small-town teenager to be pushed over the edge and become a high-school shooter. A Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Lax Morales (Jamie Litvak), living now as a blogger and looking for his big break, responds to Herman (Daniel Kowalski) who asks to be on his show. Although he is celebrated for his undercover piece on white supremacists and has a huge following of teenagers for his online video blog, the world of journalism looks down on him, so he jumps on the opportunity to find the story behind why the country wants to execute a child on television. After massacring 39 students and three adults, the nation is in an uproar for his public execution. Hello Herman examines how events such as Columbine and Virginia Tech continue to happen in the country. Eastlake located at 400 228th Ave. NE, Sammamish.

I am on a mission to be a cowgirl ever since seeing Village Theatre’s new musical “Annie Get Your Gun.” Or at least, to look like one. Costume designer Karen Ann Ledger did a fantastic job bringing out the old-timey beauty in female actors, from bandanna sashes and widebrimmed hats to frilly petticoats and lace-up booties. Similarly, the male performers were transformed into boot-clickin’ buckaroos. The costumes and custom-designed sets helped paint a picture of late 1800s Cincinnati, along with the dynamite cast, who pulled off a danceheavy, theatrical Wild West-style show. There were stage tricks, circus acts and numerous sacrificial balloons to help with the sharpshootin’ effect. Audience members who have never seen the musical will be excited to see the origin of such songs as “There’s No Business Like Show Business” and “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better” composed by Irving Berlin (1888 – 1989), arguably one of the greatest American song writers. While I love Berlin’s score, there were some moments in his show that I had to grit my teeth and lay my politicalcorrectness aside with jokes involving the American Indian characters, or elements of the plot that were clearly pre-feminism. For anyone out there like me, just remember that the show was written in a different time and is meant to be playful and fun. What’s more, it still has a pretty kick-ass female lead – Vicki Noon, who plays Annie Oakley, starring opposite Dane Stokinger as Frank Butler. With his mustache and marksman getup, Stokinger was quite the hunk, with a set of pipes to match. But the

Occupy movement to come to Sammamish By Linda Ball Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

There won’t be any camping and it will be a peaceful demonstration at Saturday’s Occupy Sammamish event. Organized by groups associated with MoveOn.org, specifically Pat and Marshall Martin, the purpose of the demonstration is to bring awareness to MoveOn’s Contract for the American Dream. The Martins, who live at Providence Point, moved to the Puget Sound Area from Kansas City, Kan., in 2000. They have been activists most of their lives, marching for civil rights in Kansas City in the 1960s. “We’re trying to occupy our neighbor’s conscious,” Marshall Martin said. MoveOn’s Contract for the American Dream highlights 10 priorities to get Amer-

ica moving. They are: investing in America’s infrastructure, creating 21st century energy jobs, investing in public education, offering medicare for all, making work pay, securing Social Security, returning to fairer tax rates, ending the wars and investing at home, taxing Wall Street speculation and strengthening democracy. The Martins said MoveOn will support a presidential candidate who supports this contract. Saturday’s march will feature signs highlighting each of these 10 priorities. The group will sing the 10 priorities to the tune of “We Shall Overcome.” “This is an effort to get well-heeled people and people of all ages involved,” Marshall Martin said. “People who are working, retired and some who’ve lost their jobs and are unemployed will join us to support the occupy movement.”

Pat Marshall emphasized that the event will be a peaceful demonstration with just singing and marching, come rain or shine. Joining the Marshalls, who are both retired school teachers, will be business people, teachers, artists and a range of folks from other professions. “I’ll be happy if we get 40 people, but we might get 60 or 100,” she said. “People are welcome to join, as long as they are peaceful.” Of utmost concern to Marshall Martin is the process of making the 10 points a reality. He said the 10 points were developed by MoveOn supporters across the country, who organize in house groups such as theirs. “We’re a smart country, and we’re not moving forward,” Pat Marshall said. She said education is important, and it takes education of the issues for citizens to

The Martins, both in their 70s, said they got sick of sitting home, and decided to take the 10 points to the street in hopes of reducing apathy amongst those who don’t feel they have a voice. Marshall said people don’t want to talk about politics or religion, but they need to. Even around Thanksgiving? He said yes.

Sammamish takes first steps to updating critical areas ordinance By Linda Ball Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Bertha Cool Bertha Cool of Sammamish died Oct. 31, 2011 at the age of 96. She was born in Smith River, OR, to George and Dolly Woolley on July 25, 1915. She is preceded in death by husband, Norman, who died in July. They had celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on June 7, 2011. She is survived by two sons, John (Nina) Cool of Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands and David Cool of Auburn as well as four grandchildren, two great grandchildren and a sister, Leta Bishop of Springfield, OR.

Commission to develop guiding principles with regard to stream buffers. “The City Council hasn’t been specific enough,” Osgood said. “If there are any ECA issues that they believe should be stricter than federal or state requirements, they need to identify those concerns.” David Gee, speaking on behalf of himself and Citizens for Sammamish, said the council and Planning Commission must create balance between urban growth, economic development and property rights. Gee emphasized the

importance of open communication using the best available science. Ilene Stahl said there has been favoritism toward property rights. “Seven members of the Planning Commission are also members of a local property rights group,” Stahl said. Mayor Don Gerend said the sunset clause has been extended, and if they accomplish this update by the end of 2012, they won’t have to update it again until 2023, unless there is a change in state law.

The state does not require an update until 2015, but both bodies want to get it done sooner because of a sunset clause that would have had the ordinance expiring at the end of this year. The council is extending the sunset clause until Jan. 3, 2013. “The sunset clause was a prompt to re-examine

Their property is identified as a water erosion hazard area on an overlay map, he said, but the city and Planning Commission haven’t evaluated individual parcels, so right now they have no options. “We just want to be treated fairly,” Osgood said. “We are actually environmentally minded — we drive hybrid cars and use organic materials on our property.” Osgood also wants the council and the Planning

The Sammamish City Council and the city’s Planning Commission took the first steps toward updating the city’s critical areas ordinance, also called the environmentally critical areas ordinance. With growth in Sammamish, higher density means more disturbance to the soil. The two groups met in a study session Nov. 14 to kick off modifying the code by the end of 2012. The purpose of the ordinance is to establish development standards to protect the public and public resources and facilities from injury or loss of life from property damage or financial loss due to flooding, erosion, avalanche,

the adopted clause,” said Kamuron Gurol, community development director for the city. In public testimony, resident Jim Osgood recommended to the council that it come up with a short, but broad mission statement. His wife, Susan Richardson, echoed Osgood’s concerns, asking the council to allow the public to be a parter in the process. The couple lives in a water erosion hazard area near sensitive water bodies, but the area is not defined as such in other places, Osgood said. Osgood said they are not allowed to use their property, approximately four acres, to its highest

Governance issue still a concern with ER&F officials BY CELESTE GRACEY cgracey@issaquahreporter.com

Governance issues are still a concern for members of Eastside Fire and Rescue, after they decided not to move ahead with a Regional Fire Authority. The RFA would have meant a new tax system for the cities and districts involved. It also would have meant higher taxes for Issaquah residents. The process, which lasted most of the year, fizzled when Issaquah pulled out of the discussions last month. District 10, which first formed EFR with Issaquah several years ago, followed quickly after. Sammamish was never interested in the proposal, saying from the beginning that cities would have share an unfair burden of the costs.

Issaquah City Council members wanted to see the final numbers before rejecting the idea. Part of the reason the RFA failed was because there were so many fingers in the pie, said Rick Gains, who chaired the RFA committee. “I think it probably is the future.” Not everyone agreed. EFR is now looking at becoming a nonprofit agency, said Ron Pedee, EFR Chair. Shortly after the RFA group disbanded, members of the EFR board met to vent a list of concerns about how the organization is structured. What topped the list was the fact that while the EFR board has the power to make recommendations,

legally all of the power lies in the hands of one of five members. Right now, Fire District 10 is considered the “employer of record,” which means legally all of the employee contracts and labor agreements are approved by District 10. So far, an “employer of record” has never abused this power by going against the wishes of the EFR board, Pedee said, but “it’s an accident waiting to happen. It puts them in a moral quandary of whether to be a good partner to EFR, or whether to listen to the voters, he said. “This would help us avoid a very predictable train wreck.” The second major concern was that any one of the five board members can veto a proposal. Typically a veto takes a majority vote. The benefit is that everyone agrees on the proposals. The downside is that the minority will always win.

Attention to the search for a missing 2-year-old Redmond boy moved to Issaquah on Wednesday after the boy’s father organized a search party there. This is the second search Solomon Metalwala has organized since his son, Sky, disappeared from the back of mother Julia Biryukova’s car Nov. 6. Metalwala’s hope is to retrace the possible steps the mother made leading up to the boy’s disappearance. Biryukova and the boy were living in Issaquah with Biryukova’s mother in 2010. “I’m trying to go where Julia was present,” he said. He also plans to continue his search in Kirkland and Redmond. Last weekend he lead a group that in Bellevue. A handful of volunteers sat at the Costco Food Court on Wednesday, stuffing fliers into plastic liners, while the rain poured. The group planned to hit five different

areas in Issaquah and Sammamish, posting photos and descriptions of the boy around town. Beverly Satarelli, a mother of two, came out from Bellevue to help support the father. She didn’t know the family, but being a mother, she sympathized. “It’s said. It’s just really sad,” she said. “I just felt I had to come out and do something.” The mother first reported that the boy was missing Nov. 6. She told police that after running out of gas in Bellevue, she left the boy alone in an unlocked car for an hour while she walked to get gas. She took with her the boy’s 4-year-old sister. When she returned with her friend, the boy was gone. Police have yet to announce a person of interest or suspect in the case. The parents were in a heated custody battle just before the boy went missing. Since the 4-year-old daughter has been taken into protective custody. Few facts have turned up in the unusual disappearance, leaving police and the father scrambling for information.
