aving begun college courses five different times, Kim Nieves is done with starting her college career. For the new YWCA resident, it’s time to finish. A single mother, she wants to get an education as a linguist and to pick up a third language, but living so far from school made it hard to keep up with classes and spend time with her son. Now, the new low-income housing in the Issaquah Highlands has made it possible for her to live close to Bellevue College, where she plans to enroll this winter. Nieves isn’t alone. The Eastside could use a few more low-income complex’s like Issaquah Family Village, but the area faces the stereotype that the poor don’t exist there, said June Wiley, a regional director for the YWCA. It’s not just a matter of having lowincome housing available in the region. It’s a matter of having it on the Eastside. “Just because we’re not in a higher income bracket, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to be in nice surroundings,” Nieves said. She came from a shabby, onebedroom apartment she rented in an Auburn house. The space was so small, she shared a kitchen. She was constantly worried about her son’s safety in the neighborhood, but there wasn’t space for him to hangout inside. Gazing from the windows in her new two-bedroom apartment, Nieves commented on the beauty of the Issaquah Alps, which were highlighted by yellow fall leaves. A generous courtyard, carved for

community, turns through play areas. “It’s peaceful here,” she said. “I don’t worry.” The move hasn’t just been good for her education, it’s been exceptional for her eighth-grade son, Ruben. He earned a fair share of A’s in his former district, where he was invited to enter a leadership program. When he transferred to the Issaquah School
District, he found he was behind the rest of the students. A diligent student, he started coming home on the late bus, so he could spend extra time studying. When Nieves asked him where he had been, he told her that he knew she wouldn’t be pleased if he didn’t bring home A’s. SEE NEW LIFE, 10
The City of Issaquah could lay off up to 20 employees in February, after a consulting firm pointed out a major redundancy in its operations. The plan would save the city enough money to start an economic development department, which would focus on bringing in more business. “This city is not broken,” said Tom Krippaehne, a managing partner of Moss Adams, which provided the report. The city’s finances were in “reasonable shape,” but they need to be strengthened. While the city wasn’t surprised by the issues the firm pointed out, details about actual changes weren’t certain until Tuesday. City Administrator Bob Harrison proposed merging Public Works Engineering and Public Works Operations under Sheldon Lynne, who runs PWE. Lynne’s number two, Keith Niven, would receive a promotion to the head of the new economic development team. The major changes will happen by summer 2012 with the layoffs complete in February, Harrison said. Making staff changes right away is good for the city, because people work best with some certainty in their jobs, said John Traeger, Issaquah City Council president. Over the past few years the city has slimmed back its staff to the point where key administrators were doing clerical work. This has been a poor use of resources, and the city needs to hire more support staff, Krippaehne said. So while 6-20 employees could lose their positions, the total number of staff could stay about the same. The city is offering a buyout option to the city employees, which would pay severance, but not allow workers to take unemployment benefits, Harrison said. Moss Adams ran through a list of suggested improvements, which ranged from SEE CITY, 3

Issaquah police plan to have extra patrols during the holiday shopping season, aimed at warning people not to leave valuables in their cars. Foot patrol officers plan to hang out at popular spots for vehicle prowls so they can warn shoppers. “Even if shoppers are leaving gifts and other purchases in their vehicles for a few minutes – that’s plenty of time for prowlers to act,” said Police Chief Paul Ayers. “Please be extra vigilant in locking up

cess to the same streamlined process, according to the report. While the review team has been efficient at getting permits through, some suggest its taken too many shortcuts. For example, not all of the planned community information has been documented or completed, Krippaehne said. When the review team was created in 1995, the plan was to shut it down in 2011. Moss Adams recommended continuing the program for at least the next few years, be-
cause the economy stymied Highlands development and new developers have started using the fast-track review team, including Rowley Properties and Swedish Hospital. Part of the recommendation was to consider streamlining other permit processes or absorbing the review team into the planning department. The city was marked down for poor communication between departments and for weak and inconsistent performance reviews. One
director told Moss Adams he hadn’t received a review in years. The council was charged to boil down some of its 14 boards and commissions, such as the Planning Policy Commission and the Urban Village Development Commission, both of which look at development in the city. While not all of the suggestions may result in changes, the city has planned an aggressive start. “These studies are hard,” Krippaehne said. “They’re hard because of change.”

PREPARE NOW La Niña headed here again
W
ith La Niña expected to make a return trip to the Northwest this winter, now is not the time to be complacent. La Niña is defined as cooler than normal sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific ocean that impact global weather patterns, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “The Pacific Northwest is more likely to be wetter than normal in the late fall and early winter with the presence of a well-established La Niña,” according to the administration’s website. Remember last November’s La Nina snow storm that hit right before Thanksgiving? Or what about last December’s record rainfall that forced the Snoqualmie River to flood? It could happen again this year. Forecasters already predicted the snowfall we saw in the mountains last weekend. With La Nina ready to bear her ugly head again, it’s time to “Take Winter by Storm.” It’s more than just a catchy phrase — it’s a call to action. “Take Winter Storm” is a four-county effort, including King County, urging families to create emergencypreparedness kits in the home, workplace and vehicle — just in case you are out driving when the worst of the weather hits. The kits should include flashlights and extra batteries, warm blankets, rain gear and copies of important documents, among other important things. The “Take Winter by Storm” website — www. takewinterbystorm.org — suggests residents take these three steps to get ready: • Create an emergency preparedness kit with at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food and water for your home and office. Kits prepared for vehicle road travel and winter weather evacuation go-kits are also advised. • Make a plan and practice the plan with your family and those who depend on you. • Stay informed and know the weather approaching so you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws our way. The website offers other tools to help families get ready for another harsh winter. Recent stories in The Reporter noted how cities are prepared for the storms. That preparedness is something individuals should take to heart, too. Don’t be left out in the cold — or the dark — this winter, make a plan and execute it when La Nina makes her expected appearance this holiday season. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Balance budget , create jobs
W
e don’t really have a budget problem – we have a jobs problem. When the economy was good, the budget was fine. So the question is this: How can we balance the budget while creating jobs? Budget cuts don’t create jobs, or fix your economy. If budget cuts created jobs, our state economy would be booming, since we cut $10 billion in spending. Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman rightly pointed out that states are wrong to cut jobs when the economy is weak. It only hurts you in the long run. Cuts are job killers, because state troopers, prison guards and teachers go to the unemployment line. What we need are long-term solutions. The question is how to create jobs while balancing the budget. It all starts Rep. Hans Dunshee with jobs When I was knocking on doors last year, every cul-de-sac had an empty house and other people, who were still in their homes, often told me they were just waiting for the call from the bank, waiting to be evicted because the banks had played casino with the economy and they were the losers. Even those folks who have jobs and are mowing the lawns of empty foreclosed houses in the cul-de-sac to prevent crime and keep property values up are concerned. They might be next. When I talk to small business owners, they say they need customers, customers and customers. Tax breaks do nothing when you you’re not making money. Jobs mean small business owners have customers coming in the doors. That’s why a strong coalition of business and workers are coming together to work on a plan to create jobs – right now – while building a better Washington. These will be private-sector jobs in every corner of the state, with an emphasis on hiring unemployed veterans, construction workers and young people – those hardest hit by the recession – to fix our schools, work in our forests and build projects that will benefit our state for generations. We will join this coalition in their work because jobs are
our priority. Gov. Dan Evans did this in 1972, after the last great Boeing Bust. He called his plan Jobs Now, Washington’s Future and voters approved more than $2 billion in today’s dollars to fund the work. Franklin Roosevelt led a similar effort to combat the Great Depression in the 1930s. Not only did people go back to work, they built parks, schools and structures like the Grand Coulee Dam that provided the infrastructure and electricity that powered our state’s economic recovery – and still work today. FDR was a Democrat and Evans was a Republican – and they did the same thing. Because it’s smart. Because it’s not voodoo economics. When people are out of work, the best solution is to put them to work. Not theoretically – in reality. Right away. Connecticut just did a similar jobs program. It passed with a single no vote in the House and Senate because they understood that when times are bad, you put aside party politics for the sake of your state and your country. Evans told the truth. He said Jobs Now, Washington’s Future was “the most important program I have proposed in my seven years as governor.” Dan Evans put people back to work and got Washington state back on its feet. We can do it, too. Construction workers in our state face a 30 percent unemployment rate. Post-9/11 veterans are at 12 percent unemployment. Let’s get construction workers and jobless veterans back on the job, building a better Washington for our kids and grandkids. Let’s boost local businesses by having people with new jobs spending their money at the Ace Hardware down the street and the flower shop downtown. Let’s do the right thing and remember what Dan Evans and FDR did to bring Washington state – and America – back on our feet: create real jobs, right away, in every corner of this fine state.
Rep. Hans Dunshee (D-Snohomish) is a former small business owner and volunteer firefighter. He is chair of the Capital Budget Committee, which controls the state’s construction budget.

Student stabbed with pencil POLICE BLOTTER
BY CELESTE GRACEY cgracey@issaquah-reporter.com
The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah and Sammamish police reports: A student reported being stabbed several times by a pencil on the bus ride home from Skyline High School on Nov. 22. He said he was leaning into the center aisle talking, when another student grabbed him and stabbed him twice in one arm and a third time in another. The teen told the officer he was bitten when he tried to fight the student off. The teen went to an urgent care clinic to get a couple stitches and Band-Aids for the wounds. When the officer asked him why he didn’t call police, the student responded that he had just “brushed it off.” The teen had shaken the officer’s hand when he spoke, leading him to think
he wasn’t in too much pain. The officer then observed the student was swaying and avoiding eye contact, making him think he wasn’t probably telling the whole truth about the incident.
there has been a long history of domestic violence in the relationship and that they were going to family counseling to work it through.
Trash fight
Disorderly drunk
A fist fight broke out between a mother and a daughter on Southwest Clark Street in Issaquah, after the daughter refused to take out the trash Nov. 11. When she refused, the mother dumped the trash on the daughter’s bed. The daughter responded by dumping the trash on the mother’s bed. The mother and daughter began to shove each other, which lead to punching and arguing. The daughter was punched 5-6 times in one arm. Police decided to arrest the mother, who told them
Sammamish police arrested a man who was so heavily intoxicated while driving Nov. 14, that when he finally consented to take a breathalyzer, he had to go to the hospital to get detoxified. The officer first spotted the man for not using headlights. The officer used lights and chirped his siren a few times, but the man only stopped after pulling into his own driveway. The man then began to argue with police about their intrusion on his private property. He then refused to get out of his car.
The officers warned him that they would use pepper spray, and he responded “go ahead.” The officer pepper sprayed him, and pulled him out of the car with the help of another officer. They handcuffed him and took him to the Sammamish police station. He told police he had “a couple” drinks, but after the man was processed in the Issaquah jail, the officer found he had a blood alcohol of .262 percent (0.08 is the legal limit) and that the man’s blood alcohol rate was rising. The man didn’t have a license, just a state ID. He had been convicted of drunk driving in the past, and was required to have an ignition interlock device.
Teen caught driving drunk Police arrested a 17-yearold girl for drunk driving, after catching her speeding 57 mph in a 35 mph with her headlights off Nov. 21. She was traveling on the Issaquah-Pine Lake Road when the officer saw her illegally pass two cars. When the officer pulled her over, she smelled of alcohol, but only admitted to having “a little something.”
The girl’s blood alcohol test came back at .079 and 0.083. The legal limit for minors is 0.02 percent.
Stolen rims Three, but not four, tires were stolen from a tan 2001 Chevrolet Prism on Nov. 14, from the 500 block of Mount Everest Lane Southwest. The rims were worth about $500. Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

A man who lost all of his possessions when thieves made off with his rented U-Haul from a hotel parking lot has cause to celebrate this week. Issaquah police apprehended five suspects and recovered the man’s most valuable possessions. King County prosecutors are reviewing recommendations for charges. Police found the U-Haul in Seattle last February, two days after Zack Judson reported it missing. However, all of its contents were missing. Police were able to recover 300 silver coins and 10 of Judson’s guns, which he used in instruction courses. Zack Judson posts reward signs in March for his stolen possessions.

Budget cuts could result in 4 lost days for ISD students Issaquah kids could lose four days of classes next school year if the governor’s budget proposal goes through this spring. The loss would be about $2.2 million to the Issaquah School District. “The governor’s cuts-only plan is a colossal step backward,” said ISD Superintendent Steve Rasmussen. The state is facing another $1.4 billion revenue shortfall next fiscal year. To earn back the four school days, Gov. Chris Gregoire has asked lawmakers to pass a half-cent sales tax increase, which would last three years. State law requires tax increases to pass the state legislature by two-thirds vote, making the tax unlikely, observers say. Her proposal would cut Issaquah’s calendar from 180 days of instruction to 176 days, which accounts for about
$1.85 million of the proposed losses for the district. The governor also proposed cutting health benefits to teachers, a $360,000 loss, and reducing bonuses for National Board Certified teachers by $1,000. About 80 teachers in the district are receiving bonuses from the program. Gregoire mentioned she made a decision to spare classroom sizes from getting any larger, but ultimately that decision is left up to the school districts. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn called the proposed cuts “catastrophic to basic education.” “Our school year is already too short when compared to our economic competitors,” he said. “We simply can’t go backward on school day.”

Raised in Puerto Rico, Nieves has used her understanding of the Spanish language to work as a translator for 10 years. She’s long wanted to pick up a third language and get a formal education in linguistics. “I work hard,” she said. “What I’m trying to do is work a little bit smarter.” While Bellevue College is a straight shot from Issaquah now, in a few years the college is hoping to have a campus a few blocks away. For students, stable housing is key for succeeding in any educational program. It’s natural that food and housing con-
cerns would supersede education, Wiley said. “We’re not talking about kids needing an iPhone,” she said. “Kids need stable roofs over their heads.” The residents at the YWCA come from a wide variety of backgrounds, income brackets and with different goals. Their rents vary as much as their needs. Nieves pays $870 a month, a bargain for an Eastside apartment. The prices vary from $380, for some studios, to the max rent of $1,323, for a large three-bedroom space. The non-profit opened its doors this summer, and since has finished its second phase of construction. While there is a waiting list to get in, only about half the apartments have tenants. Its on schedule for move-ins, but the prequalification process takes some time. There are 144 apartments in all.

Mars Hill Church arrives in Sammamish BY LINDA BALL
ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The former Evergreen Christian Fellowship, at 120 228th Ave. N.E. in Sammamish, is now part of the growing Mars Hill Church. The facility is only about two years old, with a gym/ multipurpose room serving as the sanctuary. Evergreen was founded in the early 1990s, moving to the 228th site when the land was donated by Overlake Christian Church. Evergreen built half of what they projected to build before running into financial problems, said Mars Hill Sammamish pastor, Alex Ghioni. “Their heart was in it; they wanted to see a voice for the gospel continue on the Plateau,” Ghioni said. “Mars Hill was approached (by Evergreen) to see how they could realize that dream.” Ghioni said Evergreen’s leaders voted unanimously to turn over the church to Mars Hill, which will purchase the real estate. Ghioni said Mars Hill has wanted to come to Sammamish because many of its parishioners who attend the Bellevue church live on the Plateau. “It’s a chance for us to be living a gospel life in our neighborhood,” said Jason Cowan, a community group leader for Mars Hill. Mars Hill is already holding services at the site, but will officially launch the Sammamish church Jan. 15, 2012, along with new churches in Portland, Ore., the Rainier Valley and Orange County, Calif. “We’re growing fast,” Ghioni said. Mars Hill Church was established 15 years ago by Pastor Mark Driscoll, in Seattle, starting out with about a dozen people meeting for Bible study at Driscoll’s Wallingford home. In 2000, Driscoll founded Acts 29, a church-building network, which is a separate business. Presently, Acts 29 has established 400 churches, with 400 more in the queue, said
“It’s a chance for us to be living a gospel life in our neighborhood. – Jason Cowan Justin Dean, PR and marketing director for Acts 29. “Acts 29 is our church planning network,” Dean said. “We educate and train new pastors, and establish new locations.” He said Mars Hill pours money and resources into Acts 29, tithing 10 percent of Mars Hill money to that operation. Acts 29 churches can be any denomination as long as they agree with certain doctrinal beliefs, Dean said. “We believe it’s all about Jesus,” Ghioni added. “It’s all about planning churches and making disciples.” Mars Hill Church has not been without controversy. Driscoll has called yoga demonic, and Mars Hill will not let women serve as pastors. Ghioni said he could not expand on those comments, other than to say that members are not against anything; rather, they’re for Jesus. “I can’t speak for Mark. It’s not about judging someone, it’s about Jesus,” Ghioni said. He said homosexuals are welcome at Mars Hill, adding that one of the things Jesus does is to change people’s lives. He would not comment if that meant attempting to convert homosexuals. He said women serve at the church in meaningful ways, and that men and women have complimentary relationships, and are seen as equals. However, no women are allowed at the pulpit. “We invite older women to speak to the lives of younger women,” Ghioni said, adding that included
advice on how to manage their household. Mars Hill Sammamish is already close to having 600 people attend the church. It has two services: 9 and 11:15 a.m. Evening services will be launched when 80 percent capacity is reached at each of the morning services. With the official launch of the four new Mars Hill churches on Jan. 15, they will begin a new program called “Real Marriage,” based on a book by Driscoll and his wife, Grace. That will be the focus of the first 11 weeks. There will be a announcement in January when the four churches officially open. With these four, there are 14 Mars Hillbranded churches. “The enthusiasm for
Mars Hill Sammamish Pastor, Alex Ghioni, left, with community group leader Jason Cowan. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter what’s been going on at Mars Hill Sammamish — we’re excited that it’s healthy and growing,” Ghioni
said. “It’s a very family and student-rich area. Rather than focus on anyone or anything, we want people to
know who Jesus is.” Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 206-232-1215 ext. 5052.

Spartans target sixth state title
Send news to Kevin Endejan at kendejan@issaquahreporter.com
BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Damien Greene sets to recover a fumble Saturday at the Tacoma Dome after laying a big hit on the Woodinville receiver. Greene also scored three touchdowns and batted away a pass late in the game . CHAD COLEMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Skyline survives last-minute scare, beats Woodinville 26-21 Woodinville marched down the field in just over two minutes, cutting their deficit to, 26-21, with 1:28 to go via Arrivey’s 5-yard TD pass to Beau Vintertun. The Falcons then recovered an onside kick, getting the ball back at their own 45-yard line with 1:24 left. They marched down to Skyline’s 18yard line on two plays, before Greene batted yet another pass away. The Spartans defense as a whole, held Arrivey (25 of 38, 272 yards, 2 TDs) without a completion on his final three attempts. “I was terrified,” said Taylor, of the final 1:24. “It was like last year against Curtis. “You think you have the game wrapped up and here they come. Holy smokes.” Saturday’s win marks the seventh time in the last eight years Skyline (10-3) will advance to the state championship game. “I just think so much of it is just tradition and the kids just growing up in our program and seeing what the other guys have done — the expectations,” Taylor said. The key to Skyline recovering from three regular-season losses and winning its last five games? “The cliche is right,” Browne said. “You hate to lose, but you learn from losing.”

Last season, Damien Greene made a defining play in the state semifinals, intercepting Curtis’ potential gamewinning two-point conversion in the final seconds. This season, the Skyline senior decided to one-up his performance. “My dad was just saying, ‘Make the play, make something happen,’” said Greene, who received a pep talk before Saturday afternoon’s 4A semifinal matchup with Woodinville. Greene certainly took the talk to heart. He caught two touchdown passes, ran for another, forced a fumble and knocked a pass away in the waning seconds, helping the Spartans to a 26-21 victory over the Falcons. “Earlier in the regular season, we’re thinking this kid is such a talent, we just need to get him going,” head coach Mat Taylor said. “I think the big thing for him is confidence.” Greene helped Skyline to a 12-0 halftime lead, scoring both first-half touchdowns. On the game’s opening drive, he capped a 10-play, 3 minute, 15 second drive snagging a 2-yard touchdown pass from Max Browne. Greene added another TD with 8:51 to go in the second quarter, rushing in a
1-yard score. He wasn’t done there. After allowing Woodinville to score on the first drive of the second half, the Spartans answered with another big play from Greene. The slippery 5-foot-9, 175-pound running back took a third-down screen pass from Browne, brook a handful of tackles, and scampered 60 yards for his third TD and a 19-7 advantaged. Greene ended the game with eight catches for 128 yards. “He’s a big-time player and he made big-time plays,” said Browne, who completed 22 of 31 passes for 287 yards. The biggest of Greene’s plays came in the fourth quarter — on the defensive side of the ball. Woodinville cut into Skyline’s deficit, 19-14, after quarterback Brett Arrivey’s 3-yard TD run. The Falcons threatened to take the lead midway through the fourth quarter before Greene — also a starting defensive back — blew up Woodinville receiver on a lateral pass. He forced the fumble and recovered the ball at the Falcons’ 42-yard line. The turnover set up a 30-yard reverse for a TD from Nic Sblendorio with 5:50 left in the game — a score that decided the game.

This Saturday marks the seventh time in the last eight seasons the Skyline football team has reached a state championship game in the Tacoma Dome. But earning a fifth state title in that span will be no easy task. The Spartans (10-3) face Skyview of Vancouver (112) at 7:30 p.m. for the class 4A championship. Since losing their first two games — one to Oregon 5A championship contender, Sherwood, and another to Idaho state champion, Coeur d’Alene — the Storm have rattled off 11 straight wins. They’ve outscored opponents 526-143, or an average score of 48-13, in that span. “They’re a very high tempo team,” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said. Skyview, which runs a no-huddle spread offense with several variations, is led by standout running back, Parker Henry. The 6-foot, 205-pound senior brings speed and size to the backfield. He has 2,165 rushing yards and 31 TDs. “He’s a stud, he’s just a workhorse,” Taylor said. “He’s not easy to bring down.” Quarterback Kieran McDonagh is also a load at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds. The senior has completed 68 percent of his passes for 2,637 yards, 24 TDs and just four interceptions. “He does a great a job, he does what they ask of them,” Taylor said. The reason for all the offensive success has largely to do with the offensive line, which Taylor said is far and away the biggest his team has faced this season. “I think we figured out they are almost 280 pounds across the line,” he said. Of course the Spartans have plenty of weapons of their own, led by junior quarterback Max Browne. The 6-foot-3 Division I recruit has completed 70 percent of his passes for 3,813 yards, 43 TDs and just five INTs. Six different receivers have 300 or more yards, led by Taggart Krueger’s 911 yards and nine TDs. Senior running back Damien Greene has also come on. He has a combined 1,236 rushing and receiving PREVIEW, 13
