To the ballot Klahanie’s potential annexation now in voter’s hands Phil Williams speaks to a group of volunteers for the Joshua P. Williams Foundation’s annual golf tournament fundraiser at The Plateau Club in Sammamish.

Issaquah is indeed a city of annexations. At Monday’s regular City Council meeting, City Finance Director Diane Marcotte displayed a map of greater Issaquah, which depicted the original town center in the middle with annexations over the years surrounding it. Potentially adding to its irregular shape, the Issaquah City Council voted 6-1 Monday to put the annexation of Klahanie and its surrounding neighborhoods on the ballot in February 2014. The one dissenting vote was from council member Josh Schaer. If voters approve annexation, Issaquah should receive $6.48 million annually in additional revenue, from the Klahanie Potential Annexation Area, assuming it qualifies for the state annexation sales credit, which it must apply for and presently would last for 10 years. Cost to service the proposed annexation area is estimated at $5.85 million annually for the first five years, which includes one time start-up costs amortized over that period. Most of the start up costs are for public works and to hire an additional five police officers and one records specialist. Issaquah expects to see a net revenue gain of $600,000 to $650,000 a year. Marcotte said Klahanie is considered an urban development, which makes it ideal for annexation. There will be no changes in fire service to Klahanie – it would still be serviced by Eastside Fire and Rescue – and water and sewer still would be from Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District.

‘WAKE UP AND LIVE’ Eleven years after his death, former Skyline student shines as bright as ever

A
s Phil Williams speaks to a few dozen brightly clad teenagers and 20-somethings on a practice green at The Plateau Club, the unmistakable look of gratitude flashes in his eyes.
Williams goes through a quick checklist, mostly procedural items for the day on the course, remaining upbeat throughout as he hands out door prizes for a raffle among volunteers who will serve as caddies and event staff for a host of Sammamish residents, area philanthropists and local celebrities. When he is through speaking he thanks them again for their participation and commitment to the mission of the day, walking off the green before being greeted by more handshakes and seemingly familiar faces. Judging solely by Williams’ demeanor, it is impossible to know just how closely that mission is to his heart, or the pain endured to see it realized.
“We never imagined it would be anything like this. It’s a day of celebration and fun.” - Phil Williams
One of a kind Depending on who is asked, Joshua P. Williams was either a dependable friend, selfless mentor, dedicated athlete, loving son and brother or some combination of each. To classmate and friend Brandon Hemphill, who also played sports with Williams before he died in a skiing accident in 2002, Josh’s charisma and selflessness were his defining traits. “Josh was a very genuine kid,” Hemphill said. “There wasn’t anyone in our class who I can think of that disliked him.” Hemphill said he and Williams spent most of their time together on the baseball
diamond, where Williams was competitive, but never arrogant. While he took his time between the lines seriously, it was his dedication to community outreach that became his calling card and part of what made his family a Sammamish fixture despite moving to the growing area only four years earlier. Along with his schoolwork at Skyline and spot on the football and baseball teams, Williams spent much of his time helping shape some of the same organizations that now define the spirit of community in Sammamish’s quiet neighborhoods. At the time of his death, neither his own friends at Skyline nor those he made through the various groups he was part of could comprehend how the loss would affect them. But in time, and with the help of a community determined to keep his memory alive, everyone has found their role in that fight. And some of those Joshua worked closest with during his life have found a way to honor his legacy through their own burgeoning future.

Goats back on duty in Highlands BY LINDA BALL
Around Town
What’s happening in Issaquah & Sammamish
LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
If you think you see goats wandering around in the Issaquah Highlands, no, you’re not hallucinating. A total of 360 goats, from two separate herds, have been grazing in the Highlands since the last week of June. The program, which was the brainchild of Issaquah Highlands Landscape Manager Russ Ayers, started in 2009. Ayers said he and his wife got the idea of using goats to control the weeds and grass on steep slopes after observing the practice in the Ukraine. “It took awhile for people to listen to me,” Ayers said. One herd, Rent-a-Ruminant, from Vashon Island, consists of 120 goats, while a herd of 240 from Edwall, Wash., are called Healing Hooves. Ayers said he found the herds through a group called grazing providers. “Generally they are on steep slopes that are difficult to get to or inaccessible,” Ayers said. He said they munch down the grasses that are planted for erosion control. Not only does it keep the landscape looking trim, but also reduces fuel for brush fires, Ayers said. The goats love to eat weeds, brush and small trees. They also go after invasive species such a blackber-

Once they take one down, they go after it until it’s gone. “It’s a hoot to watch them,” he said. The Healing Hooves had to go back to Edwall on Wednesday, but the other herd will remain a while longer.
Ideas for opportunities to improve exposure to Lake Sammamish State Park, and ways to bring revenue to the park will be explored Aug. 7, from 2-4 p.m. in the Pickering Conference Room at City Hall NW, 1775 12th Avenue NW, in Issaquah. Representatives from the city and State Parks will be able to answer questions about proposal requirements and clarify expectations. The due date for request for concept proposals is Sept. 7, and must be received by the city of Issaquah permit center no later than 4:30 p.m. If you have any questions you would like answered in advance of the Sept. 7 meeting contact Keith Niven, the city’s economic development director at 425-837-3430

Sammamish explores option of starting own fire department Could Sammamish soon have a fire department to call its own? The option was explored Monday when consulting group FCS broke down the requirements in a presentation to the city council. “The most obvious [alternative] is having our own fire department,” City Manager Ben Yazici said. Sammamish’s contract with partner Eastside Fire & Rescue expires at the end of December 2014. The city is required to notify EF&R 12 months in advance if it plans to renew services with the organization. It was just a little more than a year ago FCS recommended Sammamish withdraw from its partnership with EF&R and contract with another organization for services. On Monday, Peter Moy of FCS, explained what it would take for the city to create its own fire department. Among his major points, Moy said it was important for the city to identify transition costs and staffing configurations. “If we’re going to do this, we’re going to have to find money [in the]
budget for these positions because you’re going to have to make hires in 2014,” he said. There also would be differences in line-item costs for equipment, replacement reserves, operating supplies and fuel and fleet maintenance. Moy also discussed the future of Station 83, which is located adjacent to Sunny Hills Elementary — between Pine Lake and Klahanie. He suggested the city could sell or lease the building and move services to a more convenient third location within the city limits. In 2012, Station 83 responded to nearly 47 percent of its 3,262 total calls outside the city of Sammamish. Moy said there has also been a desire within the city of Issaquah and District 10 to move away from Station 83. This drew concern from some councilmembers, including John James, who said it would have a direct impact on the Providence Point area, which is heavily served by Station 83. James also said Sammamish needs to consider the possibility of pursuing Klahanie if the vote by the
neighborhood to annex to Issaquah falls short in February. “To go down the path of possibly closing Fire Station 83 and possibly exiting Eastside Fire & Rescue when [Klahanie] would be better served should they become a part of Sammamish, I think is putting the cart before the horse,” he said. Sammamish was prompted to seek other fire service options because of a 20 percent cost increase for services over a five-year stretch. An FCS study determined Sammamish’s annual contribution to EF&R grew from $4.9 million in 2007 to $5.9 million in 2012. Estimates for the operation of a city-owned facility range from $5.9 to $6.4 million and don’t include a potential $400,000 in revenue from the King County Medic One Levy. Contracting with other fire departments, or signing a new contract with EF&R all still remain options for Sammamish, which hopes to receive a final recommendation from FCS by late September or early October.

LEGISLATORS
Those from Eastside show cooperation, not conflict
S
tate legislators have been criticized for taking two additional sessions to pass a budget. We carped, too, noting that much of what was in the end product could have there from the start. But while much was made by some of the bitter differences between the Democrat-controlled House and the Majority Coalition Caucus in the Senate, that caustic tone wasn’t reflected in our Eastside legislators who met this week with the East King County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition. (See story on page 7) Legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, genuinely have the best interests of the Eastside at heart and – better yet – agree on most of what that is. The legislators, representing the 5th, 41st, 45th and 48th districts, basically agreed that schools finally got the attention they deserve, even if it took a judge’s ruling to force the issue. The additional $1 billion allocated for K-12 education represents a down payment of what should continue in future sessions. There also was agreement that the failure of the Legislature to pass a transportation package will hurt the state in the future. The problem, many legislators said, is that some in the Legislature used transportation as a hostage to try and get something else in the budget. That didn’t work and in the end, it was the transportation package that suffered. Rep. Judy Clibborn, a Democrat from Issaquah’s 41st District and chair of the House Transportation Committee, put it succinctly: “Do you know what it’s like to have a dead hostage?” Though the Eastside is served by both Democrats and Republicans, those at the meeting noted that they probably agree on a majority of the issues facing the state. And to their credit, and our good fortune, they work together to take care of this area’s needs. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Time to get your smile on
A
bout two months away from joining the ranks of fatherhood, I’m aware there are many fun, happy, tense, emotional and smelly moments ahead. But the thing I look forward to most — watching my daughter’s face light up with happiness. As someone who has worked around kids his entire career, there are very few things rewarding as witnessing joy on a child’s face. While I still have a while to wait for my own personal moments, I know the perfect place to get my fill this weekend. Kevin Endejan On Saturday, for the 16th straight year, the Rotary Club of Issaquah and Life Enrichment Options are bringing Challenge Races back to Second Avenue. The annual event allows participants with various disabilities to experience the thrill of racing downhill in a gravity-powered car. Each car is equipped with an ablebodied volunteer driver and a copilot with a disability. I’ve been lucky enough to cover this event multiple times now and quite honestly, it never gets old. To see the pure joy of the kids involved — driver and rider — is

remarkable. If the scene doesn’t incite a smile or tug at the heartstrings just a little, you may want to have someone check your pulse. The idea for the event was born more than 30 years ago when longtime Issaquah resident Leo Finnegan found his son, Tim, wanted to race with his brothers in regular soapbox derbies, but couldn’t because of his disability. Tim, now 46, still races in all six of the summer events, that in addition to Issaquah, take place in Richland, Spokane, Oak Harbor, Snoqualmie and Sammamish (Aug. 10). The way Leo Finnegan, founder of Life Enrichment Options, still buzzes around the event, patting kids on the backs and providing encouragement is a sight in itself. Saturday’s races take place during three sessions, from 9-10:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. to noon, and 1-2:30 p.m., and start in front of the Issaquah Community Center. Quite simply, the event is an opportunity to come out and support some great kids in the community. And it also comes with one other guarantee — a great big smile.

What do teachers do? New study to find out
T
hose wondering what public school teachers do all day are going to get an answer. Tucked deep in Washington’s new twoyear budget is money for a study to find out what a “typical work day” looks like for thousands of teachers toiling away in the state’s 295 school districts. Lawmakers specifically want “an estimate of the percent of a teacher’s typical day that is spent on teaching related duties and the percentage of the teacher’s day that is spent on duties that are not directly related to teaching.” They’ve asked Central Washington University’s respected College of Education and Professional Jerry Cornfield Studies to figure it out for a paltry $25,000. Researchers there intend to use much of the next school year to collect details of teachers’ daily lives in small, medium and large schools situated on both sides of the Cascades and in all corners of the state. With logs, surveys, interviews or other means they will try to reveal how teachers pass the hours, a subject of much debate in an unending political inquest of public education. “It’s an old question that no one has ever answered with data,” said Linda Schactler, director of public affairs for the Ellensburgbased university. “We’ve answered it with anecdotes. We think we know but we haven’t actually done the research.” It’s hard to not sit through a legislative hearing on the quality of Washington schools without a champion of education reform insisting the system is failing students because teachers are not spending enough time teaching. This is followed by a rebuttal from a teacher-type saying they can’t spend more time teaching because it is tied up on tasks required by the state like compiling reports

THE PETRI DISH and conducting tests. Rep. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, proposed the study by the university because he was tired of listening to the back-and-forth in front of the House Education Committee on which he serves. While he thinks teachers are weighted down by state-imposed chores, he wanted to find out if it’s actually true. “I got frustrated at the unfunded mandates,” he said. “During the session there were some folks trying to add requirements to the teacher’s work day. I said they’re full.” He and two teachers who serve on the House panel — Rep. Monica Stonier, D-Vancouver, and Rep. Steve Berquist, D-Renton, — are going to help design the study. A full report is due in December. However, lawmakers are likely to give them until the end of the school year in order to track time expended for testing which happens in the spring. McCoy hopes the final product will bring clarity to one part of the conversation on education reform. But he isn’t so naïve to believe the results will quell the debate on how teachers spend their time in the classroom. “You’ll still have the naysayers saying it won’t mean anything,” he said. And the results may prove McCoy’s thinking wrong about teachers and become fodder for reformers. “I understand that,” he said. “We have to get the information out there.” Once lawmakers know much time teachers are teaching, they can tackle the next question of how well they teach.

Trolley No. 519 will be in service Aug. 10. COURTESY PHOTO
Issaquah Valley Trolley hosts open house Issaquah Valley Trolley will hold an open house to share information with the public about future trolley service in Issaquah and volunteer opportunities for those who love vintage streetcars. The free event will take place at 7 p.m. at the historic Issaquah Depot, 150 First Ave. NE, July 23. The open house will feature displays and videos about car No. 519 and the history of the Issaquah Valley Trolley project, as well as speakers and a question-and-answer session. The trolley organization is an allvolunteer group. Those who attend the open house can learn about how to become motormen, conductors and station agents (platform managers). Help is also needed for maintaining equipment, fund raising, event planning and more. Volunteer training will start this fall. The trolley is scheduled to go into service
At BECU we’re always looking for new Now located and better ways to serve our local communities. In Issaquah we’re doing next to REI on this by replacing our Safeway location Gilman Blvd. with a larger, fully staffed Neighborhood Financial Center. With more member consultants, the new Issaquah NFC offers enhanced services to help you apply for a mortgage, get a loan, open a small business account and become a member of Washington’s leading credit union.
Aug. 10. A celebration will take place at 11 a.m. and rides for the public will start at 1 p.m. Once in regular operation, the car will depart from the historic Issaquah Depot from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through the summer and fall season. Trolley No. 519 was built in 1925 and originally ran in Lisbon, Portugal. It was rebuilt by the GOMACO Trolley Company of Ida Grove, Iowa, a year ago. A project of the Issaquah History Museums, the trolley organization’s mission is to help interpret the history of Issaquah and to attract visitors to the Depot and Gilman Town Hall museums and to the Olde Town section of the city.

Chamber coalition gets update on transportation, jobs
We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.
BY CELINA KAREIVA CKAREIVA@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Eastside politicians and business leaders met at Microsoft in downtown Bellevue on Tuesday to share takeaways from this year’s marathon three-session Legislature. The event, hosted by the Eastside Chambers Legislative Coalition and the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, addressed a failed transportation package, this session’s budget and bolstered funds for state education to comply with the McCleary ruling. “It’s been a grueling three-session Legislature. It [adjournment] is barely two weeks old, but I think there are lessons to be learned from this situation, it’s a long time since we operated as a split Legislature,” said District 45 Democrat Rep. Larry Springer. The chamber coalition includes the Issaquah, Sammamish, Kirkland, Bellevue, Bothell, Newcastle, Redmond, Renton, Snoqualmie Valley and Woodinville chambers. Discussion centered mostly on the topic of transportation, which District 48 Democrat Rep. Cyrus Habib noted to broad agreement, was critical not only to immediate job creation in the form of construction labor, but in the long-term as the Eastside grows its economy. Despite the backing of businesses and most constituents, the $10 billion transportation package died in the Senate, opposed by District 48 Democra Rodney Tom, leader of the Senate Majority Coalition and his colleagues. “We couldn’t do transportation because both sides thought of it as a hostage. Do you know what it’s like to have a dead hostage?” said District 41 Democrat Rep. Judy Clibborn, Chair of the House Transportation Committee. Transportation, she said, had largely been pushed to the end of the session. With all that’s at stake, Clibborn added,

Habib, who noted the closures of I-405 and 520 over the weekend, said that the consequences of a stunted deal would be felt by all. He encouraged audience members, businesses and constituents to engage in a “hard conversation” with their politicians: “[tell them] we know you look out for us during tax time, but we’ll remember who’s with us and who’s not.” The package, which had been approved by the House, would have included a gas tax increase of 10.5 cents to go toward projects like a replacement bridge over the Columbia River and state Highway 167.

ANNEXATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
their same schools. The council discussed at length the issue of Issaquah-Fall City Road. The road needs to be widened to accommodate traffic, but it’s a $40 million project – and a county road. City Administrator Bob Harrison said work on the road is going to depend on a final negotiated agreement with King County. The road runs along the southeast border of the annexation area. “Any annexation comes with responsibility,” said council member Stacy Goodman. She said that there is not a jurisdiction she knows of that has the money now to “fix” Issaquah-Fall City Road. The council contended that if IssaquahFall City Road has to be added to Issaquah’s transportation plan, so be it, and hopefully more regional interest can be stirred up. “That road has been in the condition it’s in for a very long time,” said council president Fred Butler. “It functions probably no worse than many roads in Issaquah.” But Schaer said if the road becomes Issaquah’s problem, it becomes Issaquah’s cost. He also raised many points why he
Friday, July 19, 2013
didn’t think annexation was a good idea, including the geography. “Look at the map,” he said. “It will look more like a gerrymandered congressional district. Issaquah should release the (proposed annexation area) and allow Sammamish to annex it.” Annexation also would give Issaquah a chance to become an entitlement city for federal community block grants if it hits a population of 50,000. Now, Issaquah has about 33,000 residents and Klahanie has 11,000. Harrison predicts the city will likely hit the 50,000 mark by the next census in 2020. Council member Tola Marts said it’s unrealistic for the proposed annexation area to stay a part of unincorporated King County, but wondered what would happen if the state gutted the tax credit program. The answer was it will just take longer to amortize the start-up costs. Butler, who has been on the city council for 13 years has been through “a few” annexations, he said. “Did our level of service suffer? I don’t believe it has,” he said. “I believe it makes sense financially. History will show that this council did the right thing by putting it to a vote.” Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.
Sammamish to conduct own survey of Klahanie residents BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The city of Sammamish continued to show its interest in Klahanie and its surrounding neighborhoods last week. After a motion by Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama, the council voted unanimously July 9 to direct City Manager Ben Yazici to prepare a survey asking citizens of Klahanie and surrounding neighborhoods their feelings on becoming a part of Sammamish. “They use not only our services for public safety, schools, parks and other activities — most of them feel they are an integral part of our community geographically,
culturally and socially,” Valderrama said. The survey, which Yazici estimated costing between $7,000 and $12,000, would strictly focus on whether or not residents of the unincorporated areas have any interest in Sammamish. Valderrama said it would reinforce initiatives taken by the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce and would provide validation on the council’s behalf to pursue Klahanie if Issaquah’s move to annex the neighborhood fails. The goal for Sammamish is to have the survey out to Klahanie residents before the end of the year. Assistant editor Kevin Endejan can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5054.

Most baby boomers feel younger than their chronological age, and they are compelled to live life to the fullest and realize their dreams while they still enjoy good health. They might have grown up with mass tourism, but they are now in search of a more personalized travel experience. They prefer to travel along their own paths, rather than with tourist groups, and they want fresh itineraries that will lead them to new discoveries.
While seniors aged 65 or older generally opt for more traditional and contemplative activities, baby boomers seem determined to be much more active. One 2008 survey showed that in North America, 56 percent of adventure tourists were baby boomers! Indeed, when they pack their bags, baby boomers are in search of unique sensations. They want personalized planning, pleasure, excitement, and new experiences.

Victor Hugo once wrote that 40 is the old age of youth but that 50 is the youth of old age. And because traveling is such a formative experience for the young, it’s not surprising that baby boomers are in the process of redefining the tourism industry by imposing their own vision.
They might have grown up in the era of mass tourism, but now baby boomers are searching for more personalized experiences.

Issaquah man charged with robbing Kirkland Subway BY RAECHEL DAWSON RDAWSON@KIRKLANDREPORTER.COM
An Issaquah man was charged with first-degree robbery on July 10 for allegedly robbing, at gunpoint, the Subway store in the Kirkland Totem Lake neighborhood on July 7. Ryan Arthur Mashek, 30, had bail set at $250,000 in King County Superior Court. At about 6:45 p.m. on July 7, Kirkland police responded to an armed robbery call at the Subway store, located at 11613 124th Ave. NE, but were redirected to the Fred Meyer in Totem Lake when a witness said three suspects had fled the scene.

Police reports from Issaquah and Sammamish BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The following information was compiled from Sammamish & Issaquah police reports
DOG TASED Sammamish officers were forced to taser an aggressive dog July 8 after it escaped its owner’s parked vehicle and bit an 8-year-old girl. When officers arrived at the location in the 2800 block of 275th Avenue Southeast, near Duthie Hill Park, they immediately recognized the animal. Upon exiting his vehicle, one of the officers approached the dog, which started to charge. The officer drew his gun and took an aggressive pose causing the dog to stop. The other officer released his taser into the black lab/pitbull, which took off into the nearby woods. The 8-year-old girl suffered bite wounds to her arm, but was otherwise OK. Officers later tracked down the owner, a Colorado man, who was riding his bike nearby. He said the window was cracked in the back and the dog must have pushed it all the way down and escaped. While waiting for animal control to arrive, the dog appeared and its owner was able to wrangle it back in the vehicle.
RECKLESS DRIVING A 23-year-old Redmond man was arrested for reckless driving July 7 after police witnessed him race another car side by side, headed east on Southeast 24th Street. The cars were clocked at 60 mph in a 25 mph zone at around 3:55 p.m. Officers were unable to catch the cars at the time, but later saw one attempting the leave the neighborhood he turned into. The man was cited for an expired vehicle registration and faces charges of racing.
DEFUSED Sammamish officers stumbled on a pair of Redmond teenagers July 5, lighting bottle rockets from the end of one of the docks at Sammamish Landing park. Officers found three more boxes of “lady finger” style firecrackers, which the teens admitted to purchasing at the Tulalip Indian Reservation. The boys, both 17, were cited for possessing illegal fireworks.
SMASH & GRAB A Sammamish man called police July 12 to report the theft of nearly $600 items from a car parked in his garage. The man
be a white male wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt, and red and gold sunglasses, walked past the Subway entrance a few times before finally entering. A Subway employee said in the documents that Mashek approached the counter, opened his sweatshirt and displayed a black handgun. Mashek [allegedly] held the gun low, pointing it at him saying, “Give me the money,” court documents state. The employee opened the cash register and handed over several $5 and $20 bills before Mashek allegedly fled to the AM/PM across the street and got into a silver Audi A4, which drove away. But just before the vehicle fled, a witness saw the encounter, got back into his vehicle and followed the suspects,
said thieves entered the open garage door in the 1900 block of Northeast 205th Place and smashed out his drivers side window, taking an iPod, garage door opener and toolbox.
PRIED OPEN A Sammamish woman called police July 13 to report someone broke into her SUV using a crowbar. Thieves pried out the drivers’ side window, causing $2,200 in damage to the car parked in the driveway of a home in the 22900 block of Northeast 15th Place. Suspects also damaged two mobile music devices valued at $400. The suspect left behind a significant amount of blood that was taken in for evidence.
UNLOCKED DOORS A Sammamish man called police July 13 after someone broke into his work truck parked alongside Northeast 19th Drive and stole $3,500 in items. Thieves made off with miscellaneous tools, credit cards and bags. Officers found no signs of forced entry.
CAUGHT IN THE OPEN Three men were arrested July 13 for possessing alcohol at Sammamish Landing Park and being minors in possession and consumption of alcohol. Two of the men were 19 and the other was 18. Police discovered the subjects around 6 p.m. when they noticed a large case of beer and hard alcohol bottles in the open.
HOME ROBBED A Sammamish woman flagged down police July 13 to report a burglary at her in-law’s home in the 21800 block of Northeast 22nd Street. More than $9,000 in items were reported taken from the home, including several valuable jewels. Thieves appeared to enter the home through an open side window.
SPARKLER BOMB Sammamish police were called July 3 after someone lit a sparkler bomb in a park near the 4500 block of 230th Way Southeast. Officers discovered a large hole in the ground and several pieces of tape used to tie sparklers together. The home owners association president believed he knew who was responsible and was going to contact the family and handle it civilly.
OUTHOUSE EXPLOSION A parks worker contacted Sammamish police July 5 to report vandalism to a Honeybucket outhouse at Big Rock Park. The portable toilet had scorch marks in it, damage to the seat and the hand sanitizer was knocked off. The urinal was also broken at the base of the pipe leading to the septic area.
to which he obtained their location —at Fred Meyer — and the car’s license plate number. The witness said in court documents that he could see the suspect with two other suspects. The other suspects later turned out to be a 21-year-old driver and a 21-yearold passenger, both of whom haven’t been charged because they claim to have not known about the robbery, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Mashek was convicted of three counts of second-degree robbery in 2008 and in one case threatened a victim with a gun. He has also been convicted of a hit and run, negligent driving in the first degree and reckless driving within the last nine years. Mashek’s arraignment is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on July 24 at the King County Courthouse.

A tradition of giving Skyline football helps relocate Tent City 4 BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
On the gridiron, few high schools football programs in the state can match the tradition at Skyline. But within the program, it is the tradition away from the field that matters most. The 2013 Skyline team upheld an important part of the program’s mission last weekend, helping residents of Tent City 4 relocate from Kirkland to Redmond Family Church, which will be home to roughly 100 individuals at any given time over the next 90 days, until the camp relocates again. Senior captain Cameron Saffle said the importance
prior classes placed on the community service aspect of Skyline football have created a culture of giving within the same program that has captured the past two 4A state titles and seven since 2000. “It gives us perspective,” Saffle said. “We had a lot of great leaders in the past. This is an expectation.” Fellow captains Reggie Long and Grant Evans said while life in Sammamish can create “a bubble” of security among affluent residents and classmates, the team has made a conscious effort to engage the less fortunate in the community during service outings. “It just helps us see what
other people go through,” Evans said. “We all know it is important to give back.” Tent City 4 is open for stays as short as a night, includes a community kitchen, mobile shower unit with hot water and electricity (portable toilets are also on-site) and two community tents for incoming residents to transition in before obtaining one of around 80 individual plots. Couples tents make up one area and ShareWell, the organization that operates the camp, has a committee system in place for infractions that may take place among its four Tent City locations. Redmond Family Church pastor Todd Puckett said his congregation serves several TC4 residents and was thrilled with the opportunity to host the camp, which he said is the realization of their mission of giving. •

“We’re just looking for opportunities to serve people,” he said. “Our whole church is just wrapping our arms around it.” While homeless encampments can leave nearby residents fearing for cleanliness and safety, Puckett said the focus of his parish is on understanding. E

The Eastlake Major Softball All Stars are headed to San Bernadino, Calif. for the regional tournament after capturing the league’s first state title in Major Softball in Auburn. The team stormed through the District 9 tournament at Everest Park in Kirkland during the final two weeks of June. An 18-10 win over Glenwood got things started before a 14-7 victory over the defending state runner-up from Bainbridge. Eastlake then took a pair of games over Mill Creek, 16-6 and 9-8 in the championship game. Steve Pollis, the Vice President of Eastlake Little League and manager of the Major All Star team, said the state title is the first in 13 years in softball and the first trip to regionals. “It’s really, really neat,” he said. “These girls are in for the time of their lives.” Eastlake begins the tournament Friday at 5 p.m. against the state champions from Alaska before facing Montana, Idaho and Oregon. The World Series is held in Portland.

JOSHUA P. WILLIAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
knew they wanted to preserve their son’s memory, if only in some small way. Their initial plan was to host a small golf tournament – maybe 30 participants who knew Josh and the family – and possibly raise a small amount of money to give back into the community. In the 11 years since it began, the Joshua P. Williams Foundation has become so much more. Joshua P. Bruce WortherWilliams spoon, a longtime friend of the Williams family who relocated to Sammamish with them and a handful of others in 1997, said he had experience in fundraising and hosting charity events and, along with other friends and community
members, helped put together the first golf tournament in Josh’s honor only months after his death. The foundation is modeled after another founded by former Seattle Supersonics and University of Washington legend Detlef Schrempf. However, rather than selecting a beneficiary from a pool of applicants, proceeds raised at the annual golf tournament go to the same Sammamish-based groups Josh was so involved in during his own life. “He was very involved with the Boys and Girls Club, had done a few fundraisers for Friends of Youth, had attended Camp SAMBICA, had friends in Young Life and was one of the first mentors for Athletes for Kids,” Wortherspoon said. “We decided to create a foundation in his memory and support organizations that played a role in his life and helped shape him.”

evolved over the years and has moved beyond the pain through giving. “It has moved from an outlet for grief to a true celebration,” Wortherspoon said. “Both of Josh and of community.” Since it began 11 years ago, the Joshua P. Williams Foundation has gifted more than $1 million that has helped construct the EX3 Teen Center, continue to provide training and support for prep athletes who give their time as mentors for disabled youth, provided operating costs for new and improved facilities at Camp SAMBICA, continued the vibrant faith-based programs for youth in Young Life and offered a consistent source to keep troubled and abused kids off the streets through Friends
of Youth shelters. “We never imagined it would be anything like this,” Williams said. “It is a day of celebration and fun.” For Hemphill and the circle of friends who considered Josh among their closest confidants, the tournament and foundation have become one of the highlights of the year and a much anticipated opportunity to freshen their bond. “The day of the event is like our second Christmas,” he said. “I firmly believe Josh’s passing kind of cemented those relationships for people.” Staff writer Josh Suman can be contacted at 425-453-5045.
Timeless legacy While both Wortherspoon and Williams said the initial hope was to provide the community with a gathering place to grieve, the mission of the foundation has

The YMCAs on the Eastside will host a backpack and school supply drive to help local youth in need, Aug. 5-23 at the Sammamish YMCA. The drive is in memory of Nicole Lehtinen, a foster youth who died in an auto accident at age 16. After her father died, 6-year-old Nicole became a foster child when her mother could no longer care for her. As she entered foster care, all she had from home was her backpack. According to Treehouse, a Seattle nonprofit that provides essentials as well as academic support for foster youth, there are between 1,300 to 1,500 children in foster care on any given day in King County. This will be the fifth year of the backpack drive honoring Nicole. The Y will distribute the backpacks to local nonprofit organizations.
