Survey says ... Alcohol use high among seniors in the Issaquah School District BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Margie Vines shows off the flyer her parents displayed in their cabin after she was sent off as a member of the first all female branch of the United States Navy in 1942. KEVIN
After graduating high school, Vines, then 19, and her best friend, Olive Allen, decided it was time for a change. “One day we were just sick of the whole situation, we thought, ‘well, maybe we should go into the service,’” she said. “I talked to my dad and he said that was a safer place for me to be than the streets of Bremerton.” After signing their papers, Vines and Allen became a part of U.S. history. They were two of around 75 women from the Seattle area to hop on a train to New York City to join the WAVES. Approximately 27,000 women from all corners of the country joined the organization in its first year. Most were assigned to clerical work, but some took positions in aviation, medical professions, communications, intelligence and technology. Allen was sent to Oklahoma to become a
Alcohol use and binge drinking among students in the Issaquah School District — especially high school seniors — is well above average according to the state’s most recent Healthy Youth Survey. “Something happens around the 12th grade,” said Dennis Wright, the director of career and services for the district. Wright presented the results of the survey May 16 at the Action Forum for Youth at Sammamish City Hall. Data included voluntary input from students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 from 233 districts around the state. The only ISD students not included in the October survey were seniors at Skyline High School, who were omitted due to a clerical error. Results showed 43 percent of the seniors at Issaquah High and 45 percent of the seniors at Liberty High reported drinking at least a sip of wine, beer or hard alcohol in the previous 30 days. The state average was 36 percent. Under the same category, 32 percent of Issaquah seniors and 29 percent of Liberty seniors participated in binge drinking, which is defined as consuming five or more drinks in one sitting. The state average was 22 percent. “That’s a bit troubling, we are well above the state

A TIME TO REMEMBER Spiritwood at Pine Lake resident Margie Vines recalls her time in WAVES

argie Vines proudly opened a manila envelope and pulled out a certificate sent to her parents in 1942.
The near pristine piece of paper indicated the United States Navy accepted her to participate in the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, or WAVES — the first all female division of the USN. Now 86, and a resident of Issaquah’s Spiritwood at Pine Lake Retirement Community, Vines recalled much tougher times growing up. Her parents, who moved from the Skagit Valley to Bremerton after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, worked non-stop in the shipyard during the boat building boom. Margie and her sister were often left to fend for themselves.
And in a overpopulated town with not much going on, Vines said it was easy for most kids to get in trouble. “We’d get so bored, if we had 50 cents we’d go down and get on the ferry and ride to Seattle and then we had to hide on the ferry to get back,” she said. “That was the worst thing we did.”

n Memorial Day, let us remember and thank our fallen soldiers and those who are still in harms way so we may continue to enjoy the freedom that we now have. Have a safe Memorial Day weekend!

Robin Lustig said it’s not just a senior problem. “I’m only a junior, but I have still seen some alcohol and drug use within my age group, which is a little upsetting because we are so far from our future,” she said. Students suggested increased support from school counselors and parents as keys to decreasing the problem. While alcohol use results were high in the district, it came in below other state
averages, including the use of illegal drugs, marijuana and cigarettes. The district also came in lower in student reports of bullying, and higher in the feeling of overall safety and in overall enjoyment at school. “I think in our community, all our kids are above average and good looking,” said Wright, comparing ISD students to the closing line of the radio variety show, ‘A Prairie Home Companion.’ “In a lot of ways we mirror the things that are
happening in the state,” he continued. “Sometimes we are far better off — our kids feel safe at school, our kids feel they have a place in their communities, they think their parents and their community like them. There are a couple places where our kids aren’t all good looking and above average and that’s in binge drinking and alcohol use.” Assistant editor Kevin Endejan can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5054.

average,” Wright said. He added that about 25 percent of the girls at Issaquah High reported a binge-drinking bout;
40 percent of the boys reported one. A panel of students gave their interpretation of the results at last week’s forum. Issaquah senior Ashley Hoffman, one of several students on a panel, said the numbers could be higher.
“Kids can ignore it up until senior year and then are like, ‘I’m going to college, there’s no point in not drinking anymore.’” Liberty senior Allison Frazier said partying likely brings a sense of community between seniors. “A lot of people come to soccer games, football games under the influence. I think the problem is it has become a necessity,” she said. Issaquah underclassmen

secretary, but Vines was selected to work in nursing. “Everybody wanted to know when do we have to learn to give shots — that was a scary thing,” she said. After training on oranges, then giving a partner a poke with a needle, Vines and six other women were sent to their hospital assignment in Norfolk, Va. A member of the ear, nose and throat ward, Vines said she faced several difficult situations, including being placed on one-on-one watch over terminally ill sailors. Her self-described claim to fame came in 1944, when she was one of the first nurses to administer a penicillin shot — not something she was crazy about. “I just couldn’t imagine hitting someone in the butt with a big needle,” Vines said. “The first day (the head nurse) said we’re going to do this now, so I went up and hid the bathroom for two days in a row.” Vines, who described herself as a bit naive, said
she eventually built up the courage to give the shots. And it wasn’t long after, she met her true love, Eddie Meritt, an X-ray tech. The two started dating, got married and soon had their first of two girls. Due to her pregnancy, Vines decided to make a change. “I decided that being in the Navy, this isn’t much fun, I’d rather be a mom,” she said. While her stint in the WAVES lasted only a year, Vines said she is grateful for her chance to serve in the Navy and the role in U.S. history she played. And as Memorial Day roles around this week, she said it’s a time to remember all those who have sacrificed their lives. “I think it’s important for all of us, for our country,” Vines said. “All the people who have lost people, they need that.” Assistant editor Kevin Endejan can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5054.

He said this is very similar to Homeland Security’s “If you see something, say something” campaign. Student resource officer Karin Weihe will be talking to students to assure them they won’t be accused of being a snitch. All officer’s will have the tip line on their business cards, and there will be link on the City of Issaquah’s web site. The number is 425-837-3210.

Issaquah Police street crimes detective Diego Zanella understands that talking to the cops sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. That’s why he has set up an anonymous tip line for people to call if something seems out of the ordinary in their neighborhood. Issaquah has had a tip line in the past, but it wasn’t very well explained to the public Zanella said. “This is not to replace 9-1-1,” Zanella said. Nor is it to be confused with the 24-hour non-emergency line. The tip-line call will go to a recorded message, but it will not be traced.

HUGE PLANT SALE - 4 DAYS ONLY Issaquah, Washington: I have way too many plants here and they have to go! They need new homes and they need them right now. We have a bunch of plants priced at just $4.97, including Japanese Red Maples, Pink Dogwood Trees, Dwarf Fountain Grass, and 5 or 6 kinds of Hostas. The Pink Dogwood is my favorite. Big pink spring blooms last for weeks, and it’s the right size for a smaller yard, and it has such a nice shape all year round. But those Japanese Red Maples… Can you believe that? A Japanese Red Maple for $4.97? Okay, they’re small, but they are just so darn pretty with those deep red leaves. Let’s see, what else do we have for $4.97? Nugget Ninebark, and Curly Willow trees. Calla lilies. And Sedum, about 5 different kinds. Hungry? Looking for something to eat? We have Rosemary and Sage. They are really good in those dry areas the sprinkler doesn’t reach, but I like them right near my kitchen door, where I can just pop out and get a couple sprigs to dress up whatever’s for dinner. We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll turn their noses up at these. And on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like
they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself? Not as easy as it looks. Ours were transplanted into their pots a year ago, so they’ve grown big roots and we know that they’ll work for you. We’ve got Stella D’ Oro and Pardon Me Daylilies, and Coral Bells, $4.97. They look great together. I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of these, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed. We’ve also got a Forsythia with variegated leaves. Yellow flowers, variegated leaves? You don’t see that every day. Only $4.97. Neon Flash Spirea, Gold Mound Spirea and a couple of other flowering Spireas, Variegated Weigelas, which will be just covered with blossoms and look like a pink fountain all summer long, $4.97. Also at $4.97 we’ve got Eastern Redbud trees and Spring Beauty Viburnums. Where else are you going to get a redbud tree for $4.97? I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and sometimes we grow way too many. All these trees should be priced more than $20 and I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts! We’ve got Astilbe. This is a plant that blooms in shade. Sometimes I think I could get Astilbes to bloom in my front hall closet. They’re
the only plant I know of that blooms in that much shade. And hardy? Tough as nails. How about Rhododendron? I’ve got three different kinds of Rhododendrons. These are just $7.97 for a one gallon plant. We have White, Soft Pink, and Deep Pink. Come look at our fabulous Shasta Viburnum in the front yard. This beauty is totally covered with big white blossoms. You can have one, too, for $11.97. I’ve also got some really nice Chinese Tree Lilacs for $19.97. Come look at these. They are over 2 ft tall, and really full. Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Oregon and I can sell them for $19.97, so I will. It’s my nursery and I get to do that. We have big 5 ft Stewartia trees. Never heard of Stewartia? Google it! Heck, you can even Google it on your phone, right? Check it out and prepare to fall in love. These are really nice, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. I’ve also got some beautiful Wolf Eye Dogwoods for only $29.97 each. You need to Google that as well, and then come see the big one in our front yard. It’ll blow your doors off. Let’s see, what else? How about some really nice Peegee Hydrangeas for $7.97. And Dwarf Cedars of Lebanon, $19.97? These look like those big Alaskan Cedars that have that nice column shape with the weepy top, but only get to about 10 ft tall. They are really nice next
to a building, ‘cause they stay narrow. Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got four kinds of very special Japanese maple. Crimson Queen (beautiful weeping form), Lion’s Head (really bold!), Tamukeyama (deep wine color, weeping form), and Viridis (green – ever seen a green weeping Japanese Maple?) and Coral Bark (red stems in winter – awesome.) These are all $39.97 for big 2 ft plants, except the Coral Bark which is a little smaller and a steal at $19.97. Wait, there’s more … Black Eyed Susan, Lemon Beauty Box Honeysuckle, Creeping Jenny, Emerald and Gold Wintercreeper. I know there’s even more but this is making my head hurt. Sales starts Friday, May 24th and runs through Memorial Day, Monday May 27th. 10 a.m. til 4 p.m. The Daily Plant-It, 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah Washington 98027. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah. There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants. Okay? Good. See you this weekend! (Phone number? There is no way I can answer the phone at the same time as I talk to people about these plants. Just come on out. I promise it will be worth it.) (Paid Advertisement)

FLY THE FLAG
Memorial Day is a good time to make doing it a habit
M
onday is Memorial Day. It’s a day we should treasure, but too often we treat it as just another excuse for a three-day sale. It’s so much more than that. Thousands of men and women have died protecting the rights and freedoms that make the United States the envy of the world. Some cemeteries will have special ceremonies to mark the day, but even if they don’t, you can do your part. Visit a cemetery on your own and place a flag or flowers on the graves of the fallen heroes. Seek out veterans to thank them for their service. Participate in a “National Moment of Remembrance” at noon (Pacific time) and take a few moments to reflect on the true meaning of the day. Here’s another obvious one: fly the American flag. According to the Flag Manufacturers Association of America, the US flag should be flown at half-staff until noon. If you can’t display the flag on a short staff or for indoor flags that can’t be lowered, tie a black bow above the full-staffed US flag. If you can do the half-staff procedure, you should raise the flag to the top of the pole briskly, pause for a moment, and then slowly bring it down to where the top of the flag is at a position approximately halfway between the top and bottom of the pole. At noon, the flag should be raised quickly to the top of the flag pole. At the end of the day, the flag should be lowered slowly and ceremoniously for the day. Memorial Day kicks off the summer, but it’s also the start of special days that honor the flag. Next up is Flag Day on June 14 and, of course, Independence Day – the Fourth of July. But why stop there? Fly the flag every day of the year and honor our country and the people who have served it. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK
Let’s cut Millennials some slack
I
n one photo, a circle of teens, each no more than 16 years old, pose in front of their personal jet. In another, the backseat of a Ferrari is stacked high with shopping bags. A girl shows off her massive diamond ring. Rich Kids of Instagram is an embarrassing look at the American upper class and a total misrepresentation of young people. And yet it’s somehow become the symbol of a supposedly self-obsessed generation of Millennials. With the onCelina Kareiva slaught of new social media platforms – Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – it’s really no surprise my generation has been targeted for its narcissistic ways. But how much truth is there behind this statement? Last week Time magazine ran a feature blasting 20 somethings for their selfish, entitled, shallow behavior. Author Joel Stein even accompanied the piece with a short video of his foray into “Generation Me” in which he “sexts” his wife, incessantly checks his phone and searches his closet for band T-shirts. It’s the silly hook for a tired claim: Our generation is better than yours. Stein cites sociological data, like the growing incidence of narcissism in 20
LETTERS HELP NEEDED IN US, TOO After reading the May 17 article (Issaquah doctor helps women in Bangladesh) and like so many of the feel-good stories I have read in the past about local residents taking up the cause to help with services and donations to far flung countries, I thought I would issue this challenge. I have lived in some somewhat affluent communities in Southern California and now Sammamish where all the kids and their folks want to help these poor disadvantaged individuals in these countries like. But, we have many in need here. Not all Native American reservations are in the casino business. Some have no running water, electricity –
somethings, the number of youth still living under their parent’s roof and the fact that young people are stalling careers for minimum wage gigs. (I’ve even seen studies comparing pop lyrics from today and 10 years ago, for the number of times “Me” and “I” appears). Most of this data can be refuted with other data and the simple explanation that we’re still recovering from a devastating recession. But Stein’s article and the many other studies that have tried to characterize Millennials are disconcerting for two reasons: they’re massive generalizations and they miss the point. Science tells us that from your teens through your early 20s, we’re still developing our prefrontal cortex, which could partly explain that surly, navel-gazing. In other words, no matter the decade, youth marks a period of extreme self-absorption. Are we really that much more egotistical for our Instagram accounts and Facebook statuses, or do we just happen to be growing up in a more public space with our missteps and first wobbly
steps into adulthood posted across six different social media platforms. We’ve been pegged for our apathy, but Millennials have spotlighted and galvanized major movements: Occupy Wall Street, the environmental, LGBT rights and immigration reform. While those issues have been bolstered by supporters in all age brackets, young people in particular have shown an ability to think not only outside ourselves, but also globally and many generations out. It’s human nature to categorize, label and define, but the “Me Generation” is so much more than its Twitter feeds and personal blogs. Generation Millennial is the first to grow up with the World Wide Web, such incredible interconnectivity and the prevalence of travel. Cut us some slack, Baby Boomers. We’re a generation suddenly aware of how big the world is, and trying to come into our own.
never mind medical for that matter. How about those poor folks in Appalachia? Maybe it’s that many young people don’t know real Native Americans in this country exist like this? Or that helping poor dumb white people just isn’t cool? There are also people in Puerto Rico, where there is an almost 26 percent unemployment rate, who are in need. There are also poor native people in Hawaii, but nobody either knows or cares. I have visited many places right here in the USA and have tried to help, but I can’t do it alone. Maybe some of you well meaning folks can lend a hand?
that the drinking water is unsafe due to high e. coli contamination. It really hits the panic button when you’ve got small children and infants. This happened to our family in another state several years ago and I honestly thought that we had left that nightmare behind us when we moved to Sammamish. Apparently I was wrong. My knowledge is pretty much based on an Economics 101 course I took in college, but the principles have held up over the decades. It sounds like Issaquah – by not paying for treatment of storm water pumped into our aquifer – may be “externalizing” its costs. Simply put, Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District customers get the honor of paying Issaquah’s costs in order to maintain our clean, safe water supply.

Wright to run for Sammamish City Council against Huckabay Larry Wright has filed to run against Kathleen Huckabay for Sammamish City Council Position No. 1. “Sammamish is a great place to live,” Wright said. “I want to help make it even better through fiscally sound policies that promote moderate growth while retaining Larry Wright the city’s unique charm and character.” Wright is the managing director of the Bellevue Arts Museum. Prior to joining the museum, he served as CEO of the National Mentoring Partnership in Washington, D.C., and as executive director of the Washington state affiliate, Washington State Mentors. Wright received his Ph.D. in communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his MA and BA
from Washington State University. He sits on the boards of the College Success Foundation, Washington State Mentors, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound and is also a Commissioner on the State Charter School Commission. Wright said he values green space, efficient public services, more retail space, wisely spent money, public spaces enriched with art and traffic improvements. Wright’s parents have lived in Sammamish since 1987, and he and his wife have lived in the city since 2009. They have two young children who both attend Margaret Mead Elementary. Sammamish Council Position No. 1 is the only contested spot of four openings. Tom Odell, Don Gerend and Bob Keller will run unopposed. Christine Malchow withdrew her name from running for Position No. 5, held by Gerend.
Callan to challenge Meryweather for spot on Issaquah School Board Lisa Callan, who was a finalist along with Alison Meryweather to fill Issaquah School Board Director Position 4, has announced she will seek the position in the fall election. The seat was vacated earlier this year when Chad Magendanz resigned when he was elected to the state House of Representatives. Meryweather was chosen from five Lisa Callan candidates to fill the position. Callan helped build a cultural diversity council at Grand Ridge Elementary and is a PTSA board member. She earned a BS in mathematics and science from Northern Arizona University, later worked for Boeing for 14 years and as a software development project management consultant. Since her son was born, she has been a community and school volunteer. “As the mom of a student at Grand Ridge Elementary School, I have the best of all reasons to lead educational programs and opportunities in our Issaquah public schools,” she said.
We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.

Callan grew up in a family of educators and leaders. Callan said she knows how to make smart decisions, be fiscally responsible and consider the needs of all kids. “Schools are where our children discover who they are, who they want to become, and that learning is a lifelong journey,” she said. No other school board seats are contested.

Maraldo to seek re-election
Comprehensive cardiac care
Issaquah School Board member, Marnie Maraldo, plans to run for re-election for the District 2 position in November. She is running unopposed. Maraldo is serving her first term on the school board, and looks forward to continuing the work of managing the district through a challenging fiscal period. “In the past 4 years, the district has faced $16 million in funding cuts from the state, and yet still provide the excellent education our community has come to expect,” she said. In her role as the board’s legislative representatives, Maraldo has met with legislators to advocate for full funding of basic education and testified before both the House and Senate education committees.

A Sammamish woman was arrested May 16 after suspicion of driving under the influence. Her 4-year-old son was with her. The 42-year-old woman was first spotted around 6:45 p.m., by an off-duty reserve officer who was jogging by Northeast Eighth Place and 233rd Avenue Northeast. He spotted the woman stuck on top of the center median and went to assist her. When other officers arrived they asked the woman what went wrong. She said she had just taken her son to McDonald’s because he “went a week without peeing his pants.” She said on the way home, he threw a tantrum causing her to lose control of the vehicle. When officers were talking to her, they noticed prescription pill bottles and a bottle of vodka in the woman’s open purse. She admitted to drinking mimosas earlier around 11 a.m. with her friends. The prescription for Oxycodone was filled earlier in the day for 180, 5 milligram pills. The bottle only contained 161 pills.
WALL PUNCH A Sammamish couple called police May 13 after their 15-year-old son became angry and punched a hole in the wall. The boy admitted to being angry because of a disciplinary issue around the use of his cell phone. The parents said they have patched the wall around 10 times before and the boy even took a baseball bat to their car windshield once. None of those incidents were reported to police. They believed it was time to document the incident and have police warn of the boy of the repercussions of his behavior.

A 17-year-old Eastlake High School student was caught May 13 trying to steal two bottles of cough syrup from Safeway. The boy, whose twin brother was also at the store and made a legitimate purchase, said he “likes how it makes him feel when he takes it if he’s not ill.” The boy isn’t allowed back at the store for a year.

old Everett woman sleeping outside a store in the Pine Lake Shopping Center parking lot around 3 a.m. on May 16. The woman, who said she was homeless and waiting for a friend to pick her up, starting laughing every time the officer asked her a question. She went back and forth between crying and laughing. Officers noticed she had a jar of olives and a pack of cupcakes near her. She was unable to display a receipt. When officers contacted a nearby grocery store they found video of the woman stealing the items. The woman received a two-year ban from the store and was returned to the Bellevue transit center where she could catch a bus back to Everett.
TRAMPOLINE BOMB A Sammamish couple contacted police May 15 after their son created a disturbance after crawling on the roof of their home and entered through a window. When police arrived the 18-year-old threatened that he was going to “kill everybody” with a bomb. The suspect, who admitted to smoking “tons” of marijuana the last two days, said he was going to make a bomb out of the trampoline in his parent’s back yard. He also said he was 500 years old and a “god from another world.” The suspect was taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation. The parents said they did not want to press charges against their son.
MYSTERIOUS CALLS A 40-year-old Sammamish woman called police April 30 after receiving one to two calls a day for a week where the caller just hang up and said nothing. The woman contacted her cell phone provider and changed her number. The calls have since stopped.
STOLEN COMPUTER An Eastlake High School student contacted police April 26 after he was unable to locate his school-assigned computer. The boy left it behind during his third-period gym class and when he went back to get it, it was no longer there. No one returned the item to the lost and found. The notebook and battery were valued at more than $400.
DOMESTIC ISSUE Sammamish police responded to an incident of verbal domestic violence May 5 after a 45-year-old man pulled a shelf from a wall and threw it in the direction of his girlfriend. The man was standing in the entry way to the couple’s shared home and the woman was at the top of the stairs. The couple, who had just ended a six-year relationship, were trying to determine how to separate mutual property. The woman said she didn’t believe the man was trying to throw the shelf at her.

Squak Mountain not completely out of the woods with logging concerns BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
As an independent appraiser works to set a value on logger Kurt Erickson’s 216-acres on Squak Mountain, Erickson has applied for another permit to harvest timber on his land. “I filed for the upper portion in case we don’t come to an agreement,” Erickson said. The latest filing is for 96 acres of old forest near the top of his property. King County executive Dow Constantine and the Trust for Public Land signed a conditional agreement to purchase the property from Erickson to preserve it for public use. The purchase price will be based on an appraisal, which should be completed by June 21. Erickson said he would still like to work out a deal with the county, but said he knows what land values are and that things are changing with the real estate market improving. “I have to protect my investment,” he said. The new permit application is for 96 acres. He filed it on behalf of a LLC he formed, which enabled him to file as a small forest landowner, one who owns less than 500 acres. He does have land in other areas.

By filing under the new LLC, he can log otherwise protected old forest. The Issaquah Alps Trails Club said in a press release that if this forest practices application is approved, it sets a precedent that would have statewide significance for the logging industry and environmental protection “Forest owners could simply divide their land up into multiple corporations and claim status as small forest landowners to avoid environmental regulation. State law allows small forest landowners to log otherwise protected wildlife habitat, and also requires smaller buffers around fish-bearing
streams,” the group said. Matthew Randazzo, special assistant to the commissioner of public lands said they would thoroughly review the application including the small landowner filing status to ensure that the application complies with state forest practices laws and rules. The result of the new application should be known in early June. The trails club is launching a fundraising effort to encourage support for the King County Park Levy which will appear on the Aug. 6 primary ballot. In order for the county to buy the land from Erickson, it will need $1.5 million from the parks levy.
Of concern is that the upper portion of the property might be habitat for the marbled murrelet, an endangered species. The robin-sized seabirds forage in the ocean, but they nest in mature old-growth forests, which is found high on Squak Mountain. Randazzo said it would take a complex survey to determine if such habitats are on Squak Mountain. Erickson said he hopes this all works out to everyone’s satisfaction.

Police arrest man believed involved in local grocery store liquor thefts BY RICHARD OXLEY ROXLEY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Bainbridge Island police officers arrested a Renton man for a multicounty spree of liquor thefts that may solve cases in Issaquah and Newcastle. Michael Alofa Siva, 25, was arrested at the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal after he allegedly stole bottles of liquor from the Safeway on High School Road. Employees at the grocery store and security cameras at Safeway observed Siva stealing the liquor on the afternoon of Sunday, May 19. He was arrested and booked into the Kitsap County Jail on $10,000 bail for a felony charge of seconddegree organized retail theft. Bainbridge police said Siva targeted certain stores. “He said he didn’t go to the ‘ghetto stores,’ as he called them,” said Bainbridge Detective Scott Weiss, the officer who interviewed Siva after his arrest. “He goes to Safeways in rural areas because the security isn’t as high.” Weiss said that Siva confessed to
the thefts after his arrest. Siva also allegedly hit the Safeways because they commonly stock brands he preferred to steal, such as Ciroc vodka, Grey Goose vodka and Remy Martin cognac. Siva would either sell the liquor or trade it to support his drug addiction, Weiss said. “The reason he does this is because of an addiction to oxycontin,” Weiss said. “He said he uses about 10 to 15 pills a day.” Oxycontin is a prescription opiate. Weiss said that Siva struck all his Safeway targets more than once. He allegedly stole from the Woodinville and Newcastle Safeways as many as four times. Bainbridge’s Safeway also captured Siva on security cameras stealing liquor on Wednesday, May 8. The incident is part of his current theft charge. Siva allegedly stole approximately $126 worth of liquor on May 8, and $320 in spirits on May 19. Police said the liquor thefts from across the region amount to more than $4,200 worth of liquor that was taken from multiple Safeways. “The Safeway loss prevention

people were very excited because he was on their own most wanted list,” Weiss said. Weiss noted that Siva was previously arrested this year after stealing liquor from a Seattle Safeway. The incident led to Siva signing a no-trespass order prohibiting him from entering any Safeway for a year. Because Siva repeated his thefts at multiple Safeways, a charge of burglary could be added to his case, Weiss said. Camera footage also allegedly shows Siva working with up to two other suspects at various stores. One person who appears on footage in Woodinville also appears on footage during a Safeway liquor theft that took place on Wednesday, April 17 on Bainbridge. Approximately $125 worth of liquor was stolen in that incident. Siva admitted to police that another person was involved in the crimes, but refused to name the person, according to a police report. Richard D. Oxley is a staff writer with the Bainbridge Island Review. He can be contacted at 206-842-6613.

The Eastlake boys and Issaquah girls track and field teams picked up third place finishes at the 4A Bi-District meet at Lake Stevens last week, and along with Skyline will send a number of athletes to this week’s state meet at Mount Tahoma. Daniel Brady won the title for Eastlake in the triple jump with a mark of 44 feet 2.5 inches, eight full inches in front of the second place finisher. Ellie Woerner won the 100 meter hurdles for the Wolves on the girls side, and was the runnerup in the 300 meter hurdles as well. Nathan Pixler picked up a second place finish in the 800 meters and Troy Lewis was only twotenths of a second from a championship in the 200 meters for Eastlake and finished third in the 100 to punch his ticket to state in that event as well. Brady teamed with Liam Doyle, Alex Hawkinson and Josh Horton in the 400 meter relay, where the Wolves were second and just more than a tenth of a second off the championship pace set by Bothell.
Skyline’s Symmes takes 3,200 Skyline’s Keegan Symmes won the 3,200 for the Spartans to capture a district championship, and the 400 and 1,600 meter relay teams also earned top-three finishes to punch state tickets.

Pedaling toward safer roads City, riders partner for suggestions on Bike to Work Day

most heavily impacted. The official count was 66 around 8:30 a.m., lower than last year’s total and certainly affected by the rainy morning. But de Beck and resource conservation coordinator Micah Bonkowski said the weather did little to impact the enthusiasm for those who did come by to chat about the future of alternate commuting options in Issaquah. “I ride myself, so it is encouraging to see people out, especially on a day like this,” Bonkowski said. “I enjoy seeing the riders of all different levels - people who are just starting to ride their bike to work and those who ride every day, year-round.” Griffin said he sometimes uses public transit for part of his return ride to Sammamish, and has been impressed with the city’s receptiveness to public suggestions and
willingness to maintain accessible means of alternate transportation. The days he rides his bike, he added, have a decided advantage over the mornings he spends in rush-hour traffic. “You get a little smog when you go past I-90,” he said. “All the traffic is stopped and you’re moving, that feels pretty good.” De Beck said one of the common refrains of the morning dealt with the section of the Lake Sammamish trail that is scheduled to reopen around June after a roughly yearlong closure for paving and other improvements. While some are thrilled about the opening and the changes to the surface from gravel, others are hesitant to the shift and in favor of the speed-buffer the aggregate surface provided. “A big message from all the excitement is one size doesn’t fit all,” she said,
adding each section of trail has an interest based on the people who use it and whether one is out for a relaxing walk or high-impact exercise. For Griffin, the city’s dedication to facilitating alternate commutes -
which also includes working alongside ride-share programs - is a major bonus to living in the area. The outdoor exercise keeps him in shape and perhaps more importantly, out of a gym routine he found tiresome and unable to produce
results. “As you get older, biking isn’t as hard on the knees as running,” he said. “I like being outdoors and getting to see things around me instead of being at the gym, looking at the fat guy in the mirror.”

When Mark Griffin moved to Sammamish from the East coast years ago, he quickly found the hills and trails around the area were slightly more challenging than what he had encountered before. The realization led him to upgrade his wheels, which led to even more riding and eventually, commuting 15.5 miles one-way to work in downtown Bellevue up to three times per week. Griffin was far from alone on National Bike to Work Day on May 17, when he was one of several dozen riders who stopped by a refreshment and information station in Issaquah and had the chance to talk with the city’s department of sustainability about its expanding network of commuting alternatives. “This is cool they can ask bikers who actually use the lanes and are out here what our feelings are,” he said. “I think that is the best way to feed information.” Mary Joe de Beck, a senior program manager in the sustainability department, said the city has been working on a series of outreach projects and information gathering opportunities to feed suggestions for improvement, with Bike to Work Day bringing out some of those
