HANDS-ON LEARNING Red Gate Preschool offers unique educational experience atop the Plateau

No, this isn’t a children’s tale — it’s just part of the cast of one of the more unique learning experiences in the region. “There’s nobody else around here like us,” said Suzie Rockey, owner of Red Gate Preschool. Founded 18 years ago, Rockey followed her dream of opening a place where children learn

freedom to do whatever they like. “You can do anything you want at our school,” Rockey said. “We have no rules, but one. You must be respectful to your peers, the materials and the natural environment.” There’s also one word Rockey tries to avoid at all costs. “We pretty much never say ‘no’ to the children here,” she said. When they’re doing something in a way we don’t like it, there’s always a yes way to say ‘no.’” The method might be out of the comfort zone of some, but it’s far from chaos. The three-hour classes, designed for children ages 3-5, are broken up in three parts, starting with a free play time that allows kids to explore various “interest centers.” Those stations include activities like painting, crushing spices to make tea, baking, reading, or digging

An alarming trend is showing up in Issaquah. Drug overdoses, particularly from heroin and prescription drugs, are on the rise. A graph presented at a joint city council/school board meeting March 27 depicts a huge spike in calls for overdoses particularly in the past two years, with the largest spike in people between the ages of 19 and 50. Greg Tryon, deputy chief of operations for Eastside Fire & Rescue, who prepared the graph, said most of the calls are either for alcohol or opiate overdoses. In 2012 within the area of the Issaquah School District, there were 31 overdoses in the 19-30 age group, compared to 16 in 2009. In the age group 31-50, there were 25 overdoses in 2012 compared to 15 in 2009. Within the city of Issaquah, there were 18 overdoses in the 19-31 age group in 2012 compared to eight in 2009, and in the 31-50 age group there were 15 overdoses in 2012 compared to seven in 2009. Tryon added that past data indicates that 7 to 10 percent of cardiac arrest calls are overdose related. The reality that there is a heroin problem in Issaquah/ Sammamish is no different from any other community, said Jerry Blackburn, director of early recovery services with SEE HEROIN, 15 lands

for gold in the elevated sand box. Some also involve the use of things like saws and lit candles. “We want these kids taking risks with their learning,” Rockey said. “I want these children getting their needs met. I want them in their teacher’s face in a respectful way, making sure they are getting everything they need.” The children then transition into a group activity time, where teachers cleverly disguise their science, language and math curriculum into song, dance and other hands-on activities. Before the day ends, kids are released onto the property at Shoefly Farm, which features horses, mini horses, a pot belly pig, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens and ducks. Under the watchful eyes of Rockey and teacher Debra Perry, the kids have free reign to play with the animals, pick veg-

etables in the garden, climb trees to gather apples, collect eggs in the chicken coop or take a flying leap off the rope swing. “We do very, very hands on,” Rockey said. “A lot of times it’s very messy.” Parent Cathryn Hawkin has her son enrolled at Red Gate and her daughter is on a waiting list. “It’s a little dreamworld,” she said. “It’s all about him learning to self regulate. I know I’m very controlling and I know he needs to learn on his own.” Rockey, who has a hefty wait list every year, said she is thrilled with the success and reputation her school has earned. “I told my husband I’m going to do this and I’ll never be monetarily rich, but I’ll always be experientially rich,” she said. “I think it’s too important that if you’re working with kids, you better do it right.”

THE BUDGET

Dealing with it will require lawmakers’ best work

he battle lines are finally being drawn in Olympia over how to pay for state services in the next biennium. On Wednesday, the majority coalition in the state Senate issued its blueprint. Several days earlier, Gov. Jay Inslee offered his. To say there’s a difference is an understatement. And the House is yet to be heard from. The good news is that both Inslee’s and the Senate coalition’s budgets pour about $1 billion into education. That’s not really surprising, given that the state Supreme Court mandated the state to “amply” fund our schools. But it does acknowledge that the need is real, and it’s being treated as a priority. The difference in the two budgets is where each finds the money. Inslee has proposed extending some taxes and closing loopholes. The Senate proposal uses cuts and fund transfers to come up with the needed cash. The House, of course, will have its own version. Given the reluctance by lawmakers to raise taxes, many programs likely will face cuts. Advocates of those programs will point out the real pain it will cause real people. And they will be correct, especially if they hit the most vulnerable in our state who have few, if any, options to deal with them. Facing that reality, along with the need to properly fund education, will force legislators and the governor to do their best work. Every budget ever proposed has problems, some worse than others. But criticism for the sake of criticism does no good. What counts is crafting a fair and equitable spending plan that deals with the most critical problems and issues while positioning the state to achieve a better future. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Baby on the way, it’s time to grow up

t’s Facebook-official, so I guess that means I can talk about it publicly. My wife, Melanie, and I, are about to enter a whole new world as we’re expecting our first child in September. Exciting? Absolutely. Am I ready? I sure hope so. In attempt to quell some of our firsttime parenting concerns, we purchased a puppy last fall (before we knew we were expecting). I hope things like keeping constant tabs on the dog to make sure she doesn’t eat the couch and waking up multiple times a night to take her to go potty are skills that transition to the parenting world. Kevin Endejan I also realize there’s no leaving a child in a kennel for a few hours while running errands. And for this first-time dad, that reality is a wake-up call. First, and possibly most problematic, I’ve only changed one diaper in my 34 years. Add in the fact the first attempt

by a then 17-year-old babysitter resulted in an emergency carpet cleaning and it doesn’t help the confidence. The idea of all the potential smells, fluids and solids is frightening to say the least. I also realize my days of going to movies, dining out and poker nights with the guys is on life support — at least for a few years. Then of course, there’s the “small” responsibility of raising and molding another human being. There’s perhaps no greater responsibility in life. I know first hand how significant of an influence this is from the great job my mom and grandparents did raising me. Will it be challenging? Without a question. Will it require personal sacrifices? Obviously. But, honestly, there is no other adventure I would rather embark on at this point in my life. I look forward to the journey, dirty diapers and all.

Assistant editor Kevin Endejan can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. ext. 5054.

Life should be about our “values,” and it should be reflected in our state and federal budgets. We are only as strong, as our weakest link. The “higher path” is always the right choice. I was in Olympia recently with the ARC, King County Parent Coalition

for the Developmentally Disabled, and the SEIU CareGivers Union, meeting with legislators. We asked our state senators, and representatives to increase benefits to those who cannot protect themselves.

With their “Back to the Future” themed robot, named Gigabot 1.21, the Issaquah Robotics Society (Team 1318) placed first overall at the Central Washington Regionals, March 22-23, in Ellensburg. The team also made it to the quarter-finals in the Oregon Regionals March 8-9, ranking 13th out of 59 teams. The students also won the Entrepreneurship Award in Ellensburg for their business and marketing plans. The challenge began Jan. 5 when the “build season” starts. Teams have six weeks to design and build a robot. Though made up of Issaquah High School students, the competition is not a school activity, although the IHS wood shop allows them to use its space. The team, guided by mentors and sponsors, is now in its 10th year. Team 1318 as it is known, is a FIRST (For inspiration and recognition in science and technology) Robotics team, a program founded by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway. Since 1989, the FIRST Robotics teams have grown from 28 teams to 2,700 worldwide. This year the robots dueled on a 54-foot by 27-foot field in a game called “Ultimate Ascent.” The robots were built to shoot heavier than normal frisbees into goals for points. Four of the team members are the driveteam, who stand behind safety glass, controlling the robot remotely. In Ellensburg, even though Gigabot 1.21 was the No. 1 robot, Team 1318 was joined with Newport and Snohomish teams to face

others. The Newport robot ended up flipping over, so that knocked Issaquah out of the semi-finals for the competition. The Issaquah Robotics team is made up of 37 students ages 14 through 18. Gunnar Alden, a senior at IHS, had a surprise at the Portland games. He received a $6,000 scholarship to the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, Ore., from FIRST, where he will major in manufacturing engineering technology in the fall. His mom, Rebekah Jenkins, a technology consultant, is one of the team’s mentors. “The mentors are there constantly,” Jenkins said. “And only two of them have kids on the team.” The mentors and sponsors are critical she said, because the cost to compete in just these two events was

Renovations and improvements to the Julius Boehm Pool, land acquisition, park development and sports field improvements are all on the wish list of the Issaquah Parks and Recreation Department. Slides presented by facilities maintenance manager, Ric Patterson, show that the pool, built in 1971 and opened in 1972, is in need of a great deal of repair. The slides show obvious corrosion, clogged pipes from 30-years of build-up and factory coatings that are worn out. The hot water tank for showers is about to fail, and removing it will either require tearing out an exterior wall or taking it out through the ceiling. With 500 to 600 users per day, including swim teams, classes and use by the disabled, the pool is a popular place. However, some on the City Council question putting more money into it with needed repairs estimated at $5 million. The department is also looking for $2 million for creekside and open space land acquisitions, $1.525 million for park development, to include two new skate parks — one located somewhere on the valley floor, the other in the Issaquah Highlands area; and $1.475 million for improvements to existing sports fields, mainly replacing outdated lighting with new lighting that doesn’t cast harsh light into nearby homes. The council has requested the department provide more information to clarify some of its questions, which could be brought back at a tenatively scheduled May 13 workshop. A decision to put a park bond on a future ballot would come later.

“From now on, it’s not a question of if I can make a difference, it’s how.” That’s the message 13-year-old Sammamish resident Geneva Schlepp walked away with from We Day. Started by brothers Craig and Mark Kielburger, We Day is a party of sorts - consisting of live music, celebrity appearances and lots of opportunities to scream and dance. But it’s also got a mission: to encourage young people to take action through service projects. The event has been happening in Canada for the past six years. On Wednesday, March 27, approximately 15,000 students gathered at Key Arena in Seattle to celebrate the first We Day in the United States; Geneva and a handful of her classmates from Pine Lake Middle School were among them. The Kielburgers’ dedication to service started in 1995, when, at age 12, Craig Kielburger heard a story about a Pakastani boy who was sold in to slavery, and was later killed, for speaking out. Inspired to make changes in how people were being treated around the world, Craig rallied a group of friends to raise money for children facing similar obstacles. That project evolved in to Free the Children - an international charity and educational program that seeks to empower young people. And from that, came We Day. We Day isn’t something you can buy your way in to. Rather, students earn their ticket by committing to positively change the world around them - at both the local and global levels. Examples? Food drives, anti-bullying campaigns, fundraisers to build schools and wells.

communities through bake sales, movie nights and door to door visits - Geneva raised nearly $9,000 in three months. “I’m so proud of the whole team,” said Geneva’s mother, Susan Schlepp, who helped her daughter and her friends throughout the fundraising process. “They did something truly remarkable.” We Day Seattle, which came to fruition with help from co-organizer (and Seattle Seahawks coach) Pete Carroll, served to commemorate this remarkable achievement and to encourage teens like Geneva to continue to change the world. The night before We Day, Geneva spoke at the Evening of Champions, a pre-We Day event that gave youth leaders the opportunity to speak one on one with the Kielburgers and a variety of celebrities that would take the stage. “I feel so blessed to have had this experience, and although it wasn’t easy, the outcome was amazing,” Geneva told those in attendance. The main event, which took place from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. the following day, featured appearances by Jennifer Hudson, Martin Sheen, Mia Farrow, Nelly Furtado and hip-hop act Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Also in attendance we’re YouTube sensation Kid President and Seahawks players Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Russell Okung and John Moffitt. More than the pomp and circumstance of the celebration, though, was the feeling of inspiration and action it evoked.Upon leaving the event, Geneva and her friends were already busy talking about the next project they want to take on. Next on the agenda? Raising enough money to fund a well - or two - in Africa.

EXPOSURE The suspect in the March 30 robbery. He was wearing glasses, a black jacket and black pants. The case has been turned over to the FBI.

Local man held in drug death An Issaquah man will remain in jail after a King County District Court judge ruled there was probable cause to hold him in a case involving sale of heroin to a Bellevue man, who later died of an overdose. Anthony Cho, 33, is being held in King County Jail on $50,000 bail. Zachary Lyter, 19, was found dead in his bedroom by his father in 2011 from a heroin overdose, according to prosecutors. Adam Pepka was originally charged with controlled-substance homicide in the case, but later told police that he drove Cho around and acted as his middleman in drug deals and that Cho was present at every transaction and conducted every drug and money exchange. Pepka, 22, later pleaded guilty to two drug felony charges on Feb. 21.

A Mary Queen of Peace church employee contacted police March 27 after she witnessed a man possibly masturbating in one of the worship rooms. As the woman approached a window she saw a man in his 50s stand up, pull up his pants, zip his fly and throw on his jacket and hat. The man reportedly ran quickly out of the church to his sliver sedan and exited the church parking lot. The employee said she’s never seen the man before and she knows most of the church members. She was concerned the church was being targeted because of recent media coverage on marriage equality.

ANGRY NEIGHBOR A Sammamish woman called police March 27 after a neighbor accelerated his Mercedes toward her and began yelling and cussing at

The Nature Conservancy – Connecting Our Future with Our Past One of the unfortunate by-products of industrialization and population growth is the degradation or loss of natural ecosystems that have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years. Many of these natural communities provide unmatchable characteristics that support sustenance to unique or vital species of plants and animals. While the march of progress will always continue, most people feel it is important to balance that progress with efforts to preserve the natural heritage of our great land. That is the work to which The Nature Conservancy has dedicated its mission, and it is why QFC is proud to feature The Nature Conservancy as our charity of the month for April. The work of The Nature Conservancy is wide-ranging and extensive as it seeks to preserve pristine natural areas that have not been adversely impacted by civilization, rebuild and restore areas that have suffered negative impacts and develop solid, science-based solutions to address current problems.

The Conservancy is working on many fronts to preserve and restore wild animal populations throughout Washington State. As an example, the Conservancy has been working in the Skagit River region since the mid-1970s to enhance both the bird and fish populations in the area while also supporting the farmers who make their livings here. The project has helped preserve more than 9,000 acres of bald eagle habitat as well as 10 miles of river and thousands of acres of forest. The Conservancy has worked for years to protect the Skagit and its ecosystem. This is the only river in Washington which supports all five native species of Pacific salmon. Because salmon are abundant, a renewed population of hundreds of bald eagles gathers along the banks each winter to feed on them. The river’s floodplains, tributaries, side channels and sloughs also support large populations of migratory shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors. Other examples of the Conservancy’s important work here in Washington abound.

her. The woman, who was walking her dog off-leash on the Eastlake Sammamish Trail in the 3800 block of East Lake Sammamish Shore Lane, said the vehicle just stopped short of her knees and she could feel the heat from the car’s grill. The man allegedly flipped the woman off before driving away. The woman said she understood the man being upset for her not having her dog on a leash, but was extremely threatened by his behavior.

CAUGHT SMOKIN’ A Sammamish resident spotted an 18-year-old Eastlake High School student smoking marijuana in his vehicle near the campus March 29 and contacted police. Officers found the student as he was headed back to campus. He surrendered a bong and 4.5 grams of weed. School officials emergency expelled the student.

LITTER BUG A City of Sammamish Parks employee witnessed a man in his 60s or 70s throw an empty Pabst Blue Ribbon can out his window the afternoon of March 27

in East Sammamish Park. The employee believes the same man is littering in other parks around the city as workers continue to find empty PBR cans. Police contacted the man, who said the can was not his and that he found it on the ground and couldn’t find a garbage to throw it away in. He was given a warning about littering.

MISSING RING A Sammamish man called police March 27 after he and his wife were unable to locate an $8,000 wedding ring and a $500 band. The couple, who live in an apartment in the 22000 block of Inglewood Hill Road, said they went missing after a maintenance worker came by to do repairs. It is unknown if the rings were stolen, misplaced or lost.

MISSING SHOTGUN A 28-year-old Issaquah woman contacted Sammamish police March 25 after she found a 12-gauge shotgun missing at her mother’s apartment. The woman said she put the gun in her mother’s closet last November and in the process of recently moving, her mother noticed it was gone. The gun is valued at $400. There are no suspects in the case.

BOATERS RESCUED A pair of brothers from Renton were rescued by other boaters March 26 after their fishing boat capsized in Beaver Lake. The men, aged 64 and 67, weren’t wearing life vests at the time of accident. Their was boat was recovered.

CLIMBERS Issaquah Police responded to a call March 28 of four juveniles getting on top of the roof at the senior center. The four boys climbed down as police arrived and were warned about their behavior.

SMASH & GRAB An Issaquah woman called police March 23 to report her vehicle was broken into and her purse was stolen at the Newport Way park and ride. Thieves made off with $600 cash, a $100 wallet and a $150 purse. There was also $2,500 in damage done to the vehicle.

SELF VANDALISM Issaquah police were contacted March 28 after two males were reported spray painting a car behind a restaurant on Front Street. Police discovered that one of the men was the owner of the vehicle.

In 2012 the Conservancy restored estuary habitat for salmon and other marine life at Port Susan Bay and Livingston Bay. It also improved more than 4,000 acres of Puget Sound tidelands in the Skagit and Stillaguamish River deltas. On the coast, it worked on restoring the Ellsworth Creek Preserve by planting 11,000 trees.

City council, school board look to future The Issaquah School District is still growing, as more residential units are either under construction or close to it. Lakeside East, which was part of the Lakeside development agreement, is in preliminary review stages with the city for the construction of 260 units, another development in the Highlands at NE Falls Dr. and 14th could result in 36 homes, and Discovery Heights in the Highlands could add 253 apartments, to name just a few of the active projects in Issaquah. An active project is defined as one where a permit application has been presented to the city. The ISD board of directors met with the Issaquah City Council March 27, for the annual linkage meeting to share ideas on growth and how to work handin-hand to accommodate the expectation of more students into the district. “Retirees are selling and young families are moving in,” said ISD board member Marnie Maraldo. Adding to student count is the fact that the

“Retirees are selling and young families are moving in.” - Marnie Maraldo, Issaquah School Board tary will be demolished and play fields relocated to its old site. Traffic patterns and parking will be tight during this process, since the upper parking lot for IHS will be used as a construction staging area. But that’s the way it was during construction of IHS said incoming superintendent Ron Thiele. He said no doubt more kids will have to use the bus to relieve pressure during the construction period. New parking for the high school will be prepared at the South end of where Clark Elementary was. The high school will have the same amount of parking as they do now when the entire project is done. This summmer, addition and remodel work will be done at Issaquah Valley Elementary, and Apollo El-

ementary to be completed in the fall of 2014. Students will remain in the schools while the work is done. The gun range behind the IHS campus was also discussed, but it has been in its location since 1928 - long before the school. Mayor Ava Frisinger said the gun club did berm the property in response to community concern, also noting that the clubhouse is a historical structure. Council member Fred Butler said the upside to the club is that they teach gun safety. “They’re a good organization,” Butler said.

Community garden applications Sammamish citizens hoping to put their green thumbs on display can now apply for one of 58 plots in the city’s brand-new community garden. Applications became available April 1 online (www. ci.sammamish.wa.us) and at City Hall. The deadline for application submission is April 26.

economic downturn sent more kids back to public schools from private schools said Jacob Kuper, chief financial officer for the district. Kuper said for every new residential unit built, it means half a child in the district. While four elementary schools will be expanding, the majority of the discussion was focused on the new Issaquah Middle School, and relocation of Tiger Mountain Community High School and Clark Elementary. Director of capital projects for the district, Steve Crawford, said construction of the new IMS will begin in spring of 2014, with occupancy in September 2015. IMS will be built on the play fields behind the existing Clark Elementary. The old middle school will be partially demolished and/ or remodeled beginning in June 2015, to accommodate Tiger Mountain and Clark Elementary, which will be in two separate buildings south of the community center. Occupancy for the new Clark Elementary and Tiger Mountain is scheduled for fall of 2016. The old Clark Elemen-

Sometimes the answer is as simple as looking at the world through a child’s eyes. That’s the logic the Sammamish City Council used Tuesday, voting to permanently name SE 8th Street Park, “Big Rock Park.” “In the eyes of a child, the kid realizes that’s what it is and I think that makes sense,” said council member John Curley, who earlier spoke to a mother of a 4-year-old who already refers to the park by the name. Mary Pigott, who donated 51 acres of park property, was allowed to speak on the naming issue before the council made its decision. “What I like really is not the most important thing,” she said. “I love a 4-year-old saying, ‘Well yeah, that’s what it is.’” The council voted 5-1 to approve the name, with council member John James absent and council member Nancy Whitten opposing. Whitten preferred the name Frog Pond Park, which was originally scratched from the list of possible names by Pigott, before recently being approved as an alternative. “There’s lots of big rocks around and there’s parks like that within our distance so I’m in favor of the other,” Whitten said. The city of Duvall does have a Big Rock Park, but the council decided it was far enough away. Site A of Sammamish’s park, a 16-acre piece of land opened to the public in 2011, also has a rock on the property people refer to as “Big Rock.” That was the deciding factor for some, noting that Frog Pond Park could have given children false hope because frogs hibernate in the winter. “If I take (my grandson) to Big Rock Park, he’s going to say ‘Where’s the big rock,’ and by golly when you get to the big rock he’s going to be excited,” said council member Don Gerend.

No Place Like Home your Issaquah home for sale, it is critical to take a step back and look at the home’s curb appeal through potential buyer’s eyes. When driving by, all buyers will immediately form an opinion about your home based-upon the exterior - and letting exterior issues go unattended can send potential buyers directly to your competition.

Obviously, a home can have a flawless interior - and that’s something to be proud of. But, it should go without saying that if there are obvious flaws and/or deferred maintenance on the exterior many home buyer’s won’t bother to make an appointment to look at the perfect interior - and that can cost you thousands, or more.

CELEBRATING EARTH DAY The Naked Gardener - Going Natural in the Yard

Earth Day:

The History of A Movement Each year, Earth Day - April 22 -- marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. “Environment” was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. Although mainstream America remained oblivious to environmental concerns, the stage had been set for change by the publication of Rachel Carson's New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. The book represented a watershed moment for the modern environmental movement, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries and, up until that moment, more than any other person, Ms. Carson raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and public health. The idea came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the student anti-war movement, he realized that if he could infuse that energy with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution, it would force environmental protection onto the national political agenda. Senator Nelson announced the idea for a “national teach-in on the environment” to the national media; persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservationminded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair; and recruited Denis Hayes as national coordinator. Hayes built a national staff of 85 to promote events across the land. As a result, on the 22nd of April, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

Going naked in the garden means going natural - the way nature intended your garden to grow. We live in one of the most naturally beautiful and green places in all the world. Loose your inhibitions because there is no need to over-fertilize, spray pesticides or over water to create a lush and lovely landscape. You can become a naked gardeners just by peeling off the layers of confusion and getting down to the naked truth.

Not all stars have problems with drugs and drinking. Our local nurseries are full of pestresistant plants that never need spraying and survive on rainfall alone. I can even promise you a rose garden without pesticides if you choose the right type of rose. Some of these diva plants also have fantastic figures - without having to go under the knife for special Marianne Binetti pruning or be put on expensive diets. Learn Columnist how to use colorful nandinas, dwarf conifers and amazing foliage plants that offer drama without the drinking and other demands of constant care. It is time we honored these well-behaved, garden super heroes by planting them more often.

The Compleat Home Gardener

Here‚ are three seminars that celebrate the truth about gardening naked:

You can have a Northwest Garden without a sprinkler system. Going Natural with Lawns and Landscapes At the root of naked gardening is good soil that holds moisture and a mulch that seals in moisture. Instead of digging in pipes for a sprinkler system, dig in compost, bark chips and learn to layer your bare soil with grass clippings and other natural soil improvements. Lawns can also look lovely without a sprinkler system. Just say no to the low mow, leave the clippings on the grass, aerate more often and use a slow-release lawn food that feeds the soil. Our soils are naturally acid so learn the naked truth about apply lime and growing the right grass varieties for a more carefree lawn. Natural lawn care also means tips on using the right mower, how and when to cut the lawn and using the laws of nature to control the weeds. Free seminar on “Northwest Gardens without Automatic Sprinklers” on June 1, 10:30am in Issaquah at Blakely Hall and Saturday May 4 at 10am at Skyway Water and Sewer District. Phone 201.772.7343 for more info)

Unbeatable Plants: Create Drama without the Drinking or Chemical Dependency Going naked with no-fuss, no-water plants can make a dramatic statement in the garden. This means star-quality, focal point plants such as graceful Japanese maples, brightly-colored barberries and dramatically different yuccas that make a real exclamation point even when contained in an urn or pot.

(Free seminar on “Unbeatable Plants” Tuesday, April 30, 6pm at Bellevue City Hall phone 425.453.1810 for more info)

Transform your Dry Shade into Lush Beauty: Nudity in the Dark Large trees mean dry shade and our native fir and cedar trees suck the moisture away from traditional, shade-loving flowers. This makes homeowners think they must add more water and more fertilizer to garden under trees. Not true. Consider the bare fact that our forests are covered with lush growth under huge trees because Mother Natures wants a garden in the shade. Look to the natural beauty of native sword ferns, Oregon grape, huckleberry and even moss-covered boulders. The rest of the world pays big bucks for our native plants and are delighted at how little water our native plants require and how well they thrive in the shade. To light up the dark corners of your garden consider springblooming bulbs such as snowdrop, cyclamen and dwarf daffodils that bloom during dark winter days and grown into large healthy colonies when allowed to dry out during the summer. Hellebores, Japanese anemones and lamiums are other flowers that bloom even under the canopy of evergreen trees. Naked gardeners know that shaded areas are the worst place to try and grown a lawn. Learn about lawn alternatives and you‚Äôll have a garden in the shade that will be happy to go natural.

Lakeside Milam. Blackburn also teaches at Bellevue College in the chemical dependency counseling program. His focus is on adolescent drug abuse. In recent years, he has seen a huge increase in the use of prescription opiates, or the oxycodone family. Also called opioids, the medications are prescribed for pain and include hydrocodone (e.g. Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g. OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (e.g. Kadian, Avinza) and codeine. Part of the reason for the increase comes from more prescriptions being written for the drugs. Making things worse is that over time users develop a tolerance to the drugs, meaning more pills or a higher dosage is needed for the same result. On the street, one pill - an 80 mg. tablet of oxycodone - will sell for $80 to $100. Once this becomes economically unfeasible, addicts turn to street heroin, considerably cheaper, yet chemically comparable. Though many residents of Issaquah and Sammamish are well off and have prescription opiates in their medicine cabinets, even the “rich” kids end up buying the street stuff when mom and dad’s prescriptions run out. Blackburn said heroin is just now trending again, and “kids are coming into direct contact with heroin.” Of the 100 adult beds at Lakeside Milam Recovery Center in Kirkland, about 30 percent of Blackburn’s patients are 19 to 25-years-old, with opiates being the primary problem. “Adolescent drug use in all its forms is consistent in all communities,” Blackburn said. “The only thing that changes is community perception of that reality.” The preferred method of ingesting heroin these days is smoking it, Blackburn said. It also can be snorted or injected with a syringe. He said the users he’s known, think shooting up with a needle is “gross,” so they smoke it, which can be just as deadly. Blackburn said it shouldn’t take a tragedy

to bring this problem into public awareness. He said it is the mission of organizations such as The Drug Free Community Coalition is to reduce alcohol, marijuana and prescription drug abuse among Windows teens. On April 20, as part of Windows the Issaquah clean-up day, the coalition is going to focus on the area around the skate park, which is considered a magnet for youth with drug issues. “The kids around there are struggling; they need help,” Blackburn said. Visit the coalition’s Facebook page by searching for Issaquah Community Drug Free Coalation.

Amendment would reshape football season BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

In 2012, athletic directors from several districts around the state championed an amendment to the WIAA Handbook that would have effectively ended spring football in its current form by disallowing athletes from using school-issued football pads during the offseason. The amendment was met with harsh skepticism by area coaches and ultimately failed to pass through the WIAA Representative Assembly. In a few weeks, the struggle to limit offseason football workouts will close another chapter as the assembly concludes voting on another amendment with similar intentions. The state-mandated “dead period”, when coaches are not allowed to have any contact with players, begins July 31 and ends on the first day of fall camp. But between the end of the final spring sports championship and July 31, coaches are currently permitted to hold unlimited practices, padded or otherwise, including full-contact scrimmages with other teams. Common practice among KingCo schools is two weeks (ten days) of spring football, passing camps or seven-on-seven tournaments in the summer and a team camp hosted by a local university (Puget Sound, Central Washington) that is a team-bonding experience and allows for controlled scrimmages with other attending schools. WIAA High School Amendment 10, entitled “High School Football Practice Requirements,” would change all of that by limiting the number of days a team can practice between the end of spring sports and July 31 to 10 padded, full-contact practices and a total of 20 days under the supervision of the coaching staff. While weight lifting and conditioning workouts would not be subject to the new 20 day rule, seven-on-seven competitions and team camps would. According to many around the ultracompetitive KingCo conference, including Skyline’s Mat Taylor, the rule would have some unintended consequences. “I’m very flexible, you can ask any kid that has played for me and also played baseball or lacrosse,” Taylor said. “It is forc-

WIAA REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY DOCKET The voting on this year’s amendments began on April 1 and will conclude April 19, with each amendment needing 60 percent of the total votes to be adopted as a regulation.

ing me to basically make spring football activities mandatory.” Without the option of wearing pads for each practice after the mandatory threeday acclimation period, Taylor said those designated practices in full-gear become that much more important and will force his players to make a decision between select baseball, national lacrosse and soccer tournaments and offseason football work that paves the road for the fall trips to the Tacoma Dome. Eastlake head coach Don Bartel enters his first year leading the Wolves after stints at Enumclaw and most recently as the defensive coordinator of the Spartans’ state title squads in 2012. Even with a Pac-12 bound linebacker in Peyton Pelluer, Bartel said the focus is always on safety through proper fundamentals and added that reducing repetitions in

a sport like football is more likely to cause injury in a full-speed situation than prevent it. “I can’t tell you how much piece-by-piece tackling work we did with that group to make sure they were safe,” he said. The WIAA has a different stance, citing research suggesting repeated, low-impact head trauma lowers the threshold for major injuries over the course of time. John Miller of the WIAA said despite the uncertainty of coaches in opposition to the amendment, it is simply another added dimension to the safety concerns currently reshaping the game. “It revolves around the current stuff we’re seeing with regard to the risk of concussions,” Miller said. “We see throughout the country that limitations are being placed on the amount of contact coaches can have with athletes during the off-season.”

Miller cited a new piece of legislation in Texas-a place where football is as firmly ingrained into the culture as anywhere in America-that aims to limit full-contact practices to once per week in-season. Ferndale, which made eight straight 3A state tournament appearances from 2003-10 and won the 2005 state title behind quarterback Jake Locker, was one of five schools listed on the amendment and athletic director Vic Randall said the school signed off on the proposed legislation with the safety of student-athletes in mind. Randall said while the amendment may not be popular with some coaches, it is an important step in regulating out-of-season football practice statewide. “In my mind, they wanted to set some standards,” Randall said. “Our intent was to get the dialogue going and bring people together to talk about it.” But others have said it seems more like an attempt to punish the coaching staffs and players willing to commit to spring and summer activities, since they already limit contact and full-pad practices in an effort to mitigate head trauma and other injuries. “The issue of 20 practices has never bothered me because we have never done more than 20 at Skyline,” Taylor said. “It is going to force me to change the way I do things.” The Spartans current schedule calls for eight practices in shells (helmets and shoulder pads) that do not include scrimmaging, five days of passing camps and four days at a team camp. If Amendment 10 passes, some of those days will have to be unpadded. Coaches in opposition to last year’s amendment contended many practices in shells or even full pads are more to acclimate players to playing in full gear than hitting, and are often used a preventative measure in the case of passing camps, which always adhere to strict no-contact policies. Bartel said among other unintended consequences, the football scene could see even more growth of the already expanding “combine” system, where private individuals that are unaffiliated with the WIAA or any school host testing events and passing competitions for prep athletes. “We already have guys running this stuff that is basically a money-maker,” Bartel said. “They will run these kids ragged.”
