Bird mess Canadian geese euthanized at Lake Sammamish State Park BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

An effort to reduce the amount of goose poop left by Canadian geese at Lake Sammamish State Park has drawn the ire of a Klahanie wildlife and animal advocate. Diane Weinstein has questioned the way the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is using to kill the geese – gassing them in chambers. More than 90 geese were rounded up and euthanized on June 21. “They do this in secrecy,” Weinstein said. “They wait until they’re molting and can’t fly, because it’s easier to round them up.” More than 1,000 people have signed a petition by Action for Animals to protest the practice. “Nobody really likes doing this, but we’re trying to balance the species,” said Virginia Painter, spokesperson for Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. “We’ve tried for 30 years to remove the geese … or get them to go away.” Those efforts have included using cut-outs of predators, herd dogs, and sour-tasting substance as goose repellents to get the geese to leave. Wildlife officials also have used egg addling, which involves removing an egg from a goose nest, terminating the development and returning the egg to the nest. Without an egg in the nest, the goose would begin laying again. For the state, the issue is one of health safety. “(Geese) can drop up to a pound of poop each per day,” Painter said. “It carries a lot of bacteria: Salmonella, giardia

or the last 10 months Sammamish resident Greg Dale and his wife, Christina, have ventured down a path they never imagined.
When his father faced a near death situation, Greg — a former developer and car salesman — was forced to think about a subject that never crossed his mind. “Everything had switched to a celebration of life,” he said. His father, who pulled out of his health scare in a Miami hospital, wished to become a part of an underwater memorial reef. Greg realized the reef would never work in Washington’s dark waters, but another business idea was born. After entering a Made In Washington store, Greg saw glass hearts created by Seattle’s Glass Eye Studio. He approached studio ownership and a partnership quickly formed. “They just laughed and said, ‘yeah, let’s do this,’” Greg said.
– Greg Dale Greg launched Artful Ashes and Rainbow Bridge — separate companies focused on putting the ashes of loved relatives and pets inside blown glass hearts. “I don’t think anybody really wants the box of ashes or urn of ashes but they keep them because they want to hold on to the memory,” Greg said. “That’s why we created something beautiful so you can hold on to the memory.” The ashes are delivered in canisters to the

permanently melded into the colorful glass. As word of mouth spreads through social media and area funeral homes, Greg is set to increase the viewings to twice, then three times a month. Greg, who advertises his services at a number of locations in Sammamish and Issaquah, said 40 percent of the population nationwide opts for cremation — up 20 percent from 15 years ago. He said 70 percent of Washington residents look to cremation and the number is expected to reach 80 percent by the end of the year. “Funeral homes are too expensive,” Greg said. “It’s really kind of sad, nobody wants to go to a funeral. They’re looking for more a celebration of life type options and so that’s what we’re looking at.” Cheryl Rieser from Santa Rosa, Calif., made the trip north to Seattle earlier this week to place the ashes of her cat, Satine, in three separate hearts. “They have a beautiful, classy thing going on here,” said Rieser, who plans on expanding the hearts to the California market. Greg and Christina said they couldn’t have found a more rewarding career path. They typically deliver all the glass hearts to the door of their clients — resulting in one unique emotional experience after another. “When one customer a month hugs you, cries and thanks you that’s pretty good — it’s 95 percent of our customers,” Greg said. “It feels so valuable helping people heal.”

and cryptosporidia. E-coli is more prominent in areas of lots of goose poop.” Painter said the goose droppings also can contaminate the lake by causing
green algae bloom, which can kill fish and make swimmers really sick. Gassing the geese involves the use of carbon dioxide, which makes the birds go to sleep, painlessly. The method is deemed humane by the American Veterinary Medical As-
sociation. The CO2 is like anesthesia. Within 30 to 60 seconds the geese are asleep with no pain, and dead in about another minute. Weinstein said she has worked with animal welfare groups and the Seattle Park Department to clean up goose poop at Magnuson Park. “You need signs telling people not to feed the geese,” she said. However, Matt Cleland, district supervisor and a wildlife biologist with USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, says Lake Sammamish State Park does have signage about not feeding the geese and if a park ranger catches that happening, people will be asked to stop. While the geese are protected by the migratory bird act, Cleland said the USDA has a permit issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service to remove them.

Kids today know that meat comes from the butcher shop, clothing comes from various retailers and the home they live in was most likely built by a contractor. The Cascade Mountain Men know better. Dressed in period clothing from 1800 to 1840, the era the Mountain Men honor, club members on Aug. 2 showed 300 Cub Scouts gathered at Lake Sammamish State Park the ways of the rugged individuals who were hunters, trappers and fur traders. The scouts also got hands-on instruction on how to build a fire using primitive techniques like flint and steel. “When people harvested critters, they did so because they needed food, shelter and clothing,” said Mountain Men President Steve Baima. He told the kids not one single part of an animal was wasted. Fur was used for clothing, the meat was food and he showed them a powder horn made from a cow’s horn. While some of the scouts met with Baima to check out the many period items, both

antique and reproduction, members Harry Charowski and Chuck Lacher supervised the fire lesson. The first lesson? Never practice starting a fire in their home and always have adult supervision. Each boy was given a rock and a piece of steel. Charowski said a quartz-based rock works best because it is very hard. He said agates, obsidian and flint also are good choices. The goal was to make a spark and then hold it to something that would burn. The youngest one in the group, Keegan Davis, was sparking up a storm, while some of the boys seemed frustrated. Charowski got a good spark and set some kindling he was holding on fire, much to the boys’ delight. Then he had a good tip for the modern Mountain Man — a regular battery held to a piece of steel wool also will do the trick. Baima showed the kids a tool used for skinning an animal, the powder horn and a beaver hat more than 100 years old. One boy asked him if he made the hat, which the adults present thought was pretty funny. Baima also showed the scouts how pioneers carefully measured powder into their pistols so they wouldn’t blow themselves up.

ELECTION
Voters did right thing with strong support for parks
C
ounty voters did the right thing Tuesday by approving money for King County parks. Not only that, they did it with a resounding 69 percent “yes” vote. Those who follow politics call that a “landslide” victory. The vote has additional significance given the recent recession that has hit everywhere, because the new sixyear levy will cost voters a bit more on their property tax bill. Perhaps voters are now ready to pay the price for things they consider important. Lending credence to that is the column on this page by Jerry Cornfield, a columnist for The Reporter’s sister paper in Everett, The Herald. Cornfield says the state transportation bill that died in the last hours of the recent legislative session might not be dead after all. Republicans are embarking on a statewide tour to see what transportation fixes people want and need – and how much they are willing to pay. A new bill could be passed later this year in a special session. As Issaquah and Sammamish voters noticed, the primary election ballot was pretty light. In the county executive race, Dow Constantine’s 76 percent of the vote should make him a shoe-in for re-election. Likewise, Stephanie Bowman getting 66 percent of the vote in a three-person field makes her the odds-on favorite to fill the Port of Seattle Commissioner, Position No. 3 seat. It will be a bit more exciting in November. Issaquah will choose between city council members Fred Butler and Joe Forkner for its next mayor. And they’ll pick either Lisa Callan or Alison Meryweather for the Director District No. 4 seat on the Issaquah School Board. In Sammamish, Kathleen Huckabay and Larry Wright will vie for Council Position No. 1. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Transportation plan not dead
D
emocrats in the state House of Representatives triggered quite a political storm this year with their plan to raise billions of dollars for transportation by, among other means, hiking the gas tax by a dime a gallon. When the clouds of conflict subsided after a regular session and two extra ones, those Democrats looked weary and had nothing to show for the effort. Now, the climate may actually be improving. Diminishing verbal showers are forecast and there’s a slim chance an agreement could arrive in a special session this fall or in the 2014 session. What’s changed the atmosphere is that members of the Senate Majority Coalition Caucus, who withstood relentless pressure through 153 days by Democratic lawmakers, Gov. Jay Inslee Jerry Cornfield and pro-transportation package forces, intend to craft their own transportation funding proposal. And soon. Members of the Republican-dominated caucus are embarking on a statewide tour to find out what the state’s citizenry thinks is needed in transportation and is

Curtis King, R-Yakima, a co-chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee on Tuesday. “We want to get a feel from the public if this is the time to do it.” If what they hear can be translated quickly into a plan, negotiations with Democrats could commence this fall. Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, one of two Democrats in the coalition caucus, has said if an agreement is within reach when lawmakers are in Olympia for committee meetings Nov. 21, it could get acted on then in a quick special session. “It’s possible. Personally, I think that is a ‘Hail Mary’ comment,” King said. “There are a lot of things that have to come together before that comes together.” One of those ‘things’ is certain to be reform of some state transportation policies.

Post-vacation blues strike
I
've got a bad case of the post-vacation blues. You know what I'm talking about. That terrible, longing feeling you get when you return from vacation only to find a desk full of to-dos and a phone blinking with messages. The heavy weight you feel on your chest when you walk into the office and the sun is blaring outside. It's terrible. And with the lovely weather Keegan Prosser we've been having in the Northwest this summer, it's the absolute worst. For me, the feeling came about Sunday night, when I returned from a long weekend at Lake Chelan to find an inbox full of messages – and I've been struggling to get out of the slump ever since. In the past, it wasn't so bad. When I was high school, we had winter and

convinced it’s quite as bad as their GOP friends make it sound, but many of them see room for reform. On Tuesday, a bipartisan panel of lawmakers began work on a study of those factors which drive up the cost of projects and what if anything can be done about them. Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, leader of the House Transportation Committee and architect of her party’s failed transportation plan, said the analysis will “inform us about the things we think we know” and maybe dispel a few myths along the way. Results aren’t due until December. But enough should be known about reforms before then for King — who is on the panel
When rivalry becomes abuse Siblings fight, sometimes a lot; there is nothing new about that. But a new study released by the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that being picked on by a brother or sister can be harmful to a child’s mental health, resulting in increased anger, depression and anxiety in the victimized child. Kirsten Reddish, a counselor with Youth Patti Skelton Eastside Services, has worked with families where sibling bullying is a big problem. “Since it’s often an older sibling picking on a younger one, the younger child is at a disadvantage because he or she doesn’t have the skills to deflect the aggression or express what’s going on - except to act out, often in ways that aren’t helpful.” Because identity formation is a big part of ‘tween and teen years, bullying can shape a child’s self-image. Children who are bullied often take on a victim mentality that makes them feel “less than” the sibling doing the bullying. This can really deflate self-esteem. Conversely, sibling relationships that are close and nurturing have been found to play an important role in developing a child’s ability to relate to peers and resolve conflict, as well as his or her social and emotional intelligence. In the study, researchers interviewed more than 3,500 kids under the age of 17 (or their parents). They assessed the range and extent of sibling aggression, looking at measures like physical assault, with and without a weapon or injury; property ag-
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK spring and summer breaks. Even in college, I had the freedom to take off for days on end during the holiday break. Now, with a real job, vacation is limited to those rare weekends – and those beloved vacation days. But that's the problem – weekends just aren't long enough. Right when you're getting in your vacation groove, you have to come home and get back to real life. So what's a girl to do when she's feeling the blues? Watch the missed episodes of "True Blood"? Take her lunch outdoors? Read a new book? I'm open to suggestions, because I'm still trying to figure it out.

— to write into the GOP proposal. “I think most people realize we do need additional revenues. We will have to have a list of reforms,” King said. He and Clibborn met for an hour Tuesday after which she sounded confident the GOP will put forth a proposal before the year is out. “My gut tells me they will,” she said. “They talk about it in a positive way. They are saying they want to do something. They realize it’s important to the state.” King made clear his caucus isn’t trying to claim ownership of the issue. “We just want to show we’re not the obstacles,” he said.

gression, like stealing something from the child with or without force, or breaking a sibling’s things on purpose; and psychological bullying such as saying things to make the child feel bad, scared or not wanted. Mental health also was assessed. The results showed that sibling aggression was associated with significantly worse mental health and distress was evident even in cases of mild sibling aggression. It can take time for parents to distinguish between normal sibling arguing and aggression or bullying behavior - after all, some kids have a short fuse, especially if there are other stresses at home or in school. Things to watch for include a child who sees himself as less than others, or one sibling who always seems at fault while the other is usually the “good kid.” Reddish recommends working with the perceived “victim” and helping the child express how certain words or actions make her or him feel. The more concrete a child can be at verbalizing, the better he or she will be at resolving conflict. It’s also beneficial to let the aggressive sibling understand how words or actions impact or hurt a brother or sister. And when there is trouble or an argument, give consequences to every child who was involved. Finally, one of the biggest things parents can do is look out for how they model relationships. If there is a lot of contempt between partners or ex-partners it can cause a child to see hurtful conflict as a normal part of relationships.

Help Support the Great Work of these Hospitals Two of the best children’s hospitals in the country are located right here in the Northwest – Seattle Children’s Hospital and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Both of these facilities consistently rank among the best pediatric medical institutions in the United States. Both also support and benefit from state-of-the-art research organizations that are leading the way in pioneering new treatments and finding cures for many vexing childhood ailments. These two hospitals are making a huge difference in the lives of thousands of children from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska every year. Seattle Children’s Hospital and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital are our Charities of the Month for August. Seattle Children’s goal for every patient and their family can be summed up in three words: hope, care, cure. Offer every patient hope and care, and do everything possible to affect a cure. Whatever medical problem a child arrives with, there will probably be an expert doctor to treat it. Seattle Children’s can call on the expertise of physicians in nearly 60 pediatric subspecialties who can provide inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. Patients also benefit from the wide-ranging research that is part of Seattle Children’s. As noted on Seattle Children’s website, “Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers, and is internationally recognized for its work in cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. It is among the top five pediatric medical research centers in terms of National Institutes of Health grant funding. In its quest to cure childhood disease, the research institute brings discoveries to
the bedside in partnership with Seattle Children’s Hospital and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation.” The Foundation helps assure that every child from the geographic region that Children’s serves can count on being cared for, regardless of the family’s ability to pay. Like Seattle Children’s, Doernbecher Children’s Hospital combines patient care with cutting edge research. Doernbecher is part of Oregon Health & Science University. This nationally ranked research institution has more than 4000 research studies underway and is involved more than 80 active pediatric clinical trials and databases. Doernbecher offers a broad range of pediatric care and treatment including: •
Pediatric bone marrow/stem cell transplants
•
Pediatric epilepsy surgery
•
Phase I clinical trials for new pediatric cancer therapies
•
Comprehensive care for infants, children and adolescents with brain tumors

The other parcels lie between the road and the Evans Creek Preserve, which is owned by the city and originally intended for use as a rest area for travelers, but is no longer required. Sammamish wants to use the parcels to provide access to Evans Creek Preserve. All four parcels were declared surplus to the county’s needs in 2012, per the provisions of the King County Code.

Garden sprouts sense of community Sammamish will celebrate grand opening of community garden Sept. 22
“It’s an incredible movement and we’re just so happy to be a part of it.”
BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
A few months since the seeds were planted, the Sammamish Community Garden has taken off. “We knew that there was interest in the community, it was just nice to have proof,” said Ann Precup, co-chair of the garden steering committee. The garden, which opened 58 plots to lottery winners in mid-May, now sports a wide variety of thriving plants — everything from strawberries, peas and squash to edible flowers. “People come through all the time asking how to get one,” said steering committee co-chair Stephanie Hibner, who also has one of the 4- by 12-foot plots. There were 120 applicants for the 58 spots in the garden. Sammamish originally started talking about getting a community garden in January 2011, but was delayed after the city wanted to place the garden at Beaver Lake Park. The location was eventually moved to the Lower Commons — an area Precup and Hibner said was much more ideal with its central location, sunlight availability and flat surface.

KEVIN ENDEJAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter The co-chairs thanked the city and the parks department for the creation of the garden — something they say puts them on par with most other similar sized communities in the area. “It’s that movement of living locally, reducing your carbon footprint, getting

closer to others in your community and also just knowing where your food comes from,” Precup said. “It’s an incredible movement and we’re just so happy to be
part of it.” Hibner said it’s a great opportunity for people who share the same passion to bounce ideas off one another. “I think it’s more about learning,” she said. “It’s like, ‘oh wow, what did you do, and what can I do better?’” While there were double the applicants for the amount of spots, Precup said there will be openings every year as people will undoubtedly have to give up their spots due to other obligations. “It’s wonderful that it’s so popular and so well received,” she said. “It gives us an indication that having more would definitely be an asset to our community.” Sammamish will host an official grand opening for the Community Garden on Sept. 22. All the community will be invited to the event, which will feature a live performance by blue grass band. A time is still to be determined.

Issaquah man uses life experience to promote organ donation BY THE NUMBERS
BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
65: Percent of the population registered as organ donors. 30,000: Number of organs burned or buried because the deceased didn’t discuss their wishes with their family. 8: number of lives one deceased organ donor can save; corneas, the middle ear, lungs, heart, blood vessels, liver, pancreas, kidneys, bone, bone marrow, skin and intestines can be transplanted. 60: procurement centers in the country.
After 10 years of kidney dialysis, David Hall received two donor kidneys. Hall, an Issaquah resident, is now the executive director of the Transplant Recipients International Organization’s (TRIO) only chapter in Washington. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter west region. In year two of being sick he needed to work — at this point his body was adjusting to treatment he said. He worked in Reno in 2002 for nine months. While in Reno, he had a heart attack, as a result of the dialysis, and was in a coma for 22 days. His lab results all went to the Calif. region. For the next five years he made a point to have his labs sent to both districts to increase his odds of getting kidneys. During those five years he was considered only a candidate for a transplant because of his deteriorating condition. He went back to Calif. to see his kids, and as he was about to return to Washington, he had a call from UCLA. They had two kidneys from a 21-year-old Orange County man. He was told they’d call him by 9 p.m. while the doctors verified if it was a match. At 11:09 p.m., he got the call — it was a match.
“The next day, June 19, 2010, my birthday, I was on the table,” he said. “I asked if we could pray, and 26 staff sang ‘How great is our God.’ Fifteen hours later I was singing, ‘Nothing is impossible.’ Ever since that day someone has crossed my path and asked for my advice and help (about transplants). A Ft. Lewis wife told me her husband was blind. Through a cornea transplant he can see again.” That’s why he started a Washington State chapter of Transplant Recipients International Organization. With a background in business and a masters in systems management, he felt confident he could help spread the message that folks who need organ transplants are more than statistics. Every 12 minutes someone is added to the list of patients who need donated organs. The website for UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) shows an up to the minute count of “transplant trends.” As of this writing, 119,068 people in the United States are on the transplant list, with 9,190 transplants performed from January to April of this year and 4,535 donors in the same time period. TRIO is a national group, recognized by the Dept. of Health and the Dept. of Education. Right now, Hall is the only one with TRIO, Washington. He speaks at churches, civic groups, and toastmasters. To register as an organ donor visit donatelifetoday. com/register online. Or, reach Hall at David.hall@trioseattle.org.

David Hall, a writer and journalist, was hard at work at Microsoft in 1999, as it prepared to release Encarta, its digital multimedia encyclopedia. He’d been putting in extremely long hours, was going through a divorce and was a father of four children. He worked all night and had breakfast, and just didn’t feel well at all. It was 6:38 a.m. — he remembers it well. He went to the hospital, his doctor told him gray was not a good color for him, and he woke up five days later in the intensive care unit. Both his kidneys had failed. “I looked around the room and see all this equipment, and realized it was hooked up to me,” he said. The doctors suspected the cause was hypertension – high blood pressure. “Stress is the silent killer,” Hall said. He already knew his kidney function was not 100 percent. Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter in adult males — his was five. The kidneys filter out creatinine, a chemical waste molecule, and dispose of it in urine. Kidney failure can lead to a myriad of problems, including heart disease, diabetes and strokes, and people of color have three times more chance of developing other symptoms. Hall is black. With both kidneys gone, Hall started the long journey of 10 years of kidney dialysis. “Dialysis duplicates kidney function,” Hall said. The kidneys eliminate waste from our blood. In dialysis, they took all the blood out of Hall’s body, cleansed it, and put it back in. Without dialysis, waste levels will build up and eventually kill the patient. Hall has lumps in his left arm from the insertion of special catheters for the blood to come in and out of. Hall spent six to eight hours, three days a week in dialysis. “When you’re not in dialysis, you’re sleeping because it makes you very tired,” he said. Because his condition varied so much, it was seven years before he finally got on a transplant list in the Pacific North-

King County parks levy overwhelmingly approved Constantine, Bowman win respective races King County voters overwhelmingly OK’d more money for county parks Tuesday, approving a six-year levy with a 69 percent “yes” vote. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 75th anniversary this year of King County Parks,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Thank you to the voters who value our shared regional open space.” The levy renews funding that provides more than 70 percent of the money to operate and maintain King County’s network of parks, 26,000 acres of open space, and over 175 miles of regional trails and 185 miles of backcountry trails. The additional 30 percent of parks funding comes from revenue collected through efforts including Concerts at Marymoor Park, and swim meets at the Aquatic Center in Federal Way. It was a short election for Issaquah and Sammamish residents with only the parks issue, county executive race and a port commission seat on the ballot. In the race for King County Execu-
tive, incumbent Dow Constantine easily outpolled the rest of the four-person field, collecting 76 percent of the vote. His opponent in the general election will be Alan Lobdell, who got 12 percent of the vote. For the open seat for Port of Seattle District No. 3, Stephanie Bowman received 66 percent of the vote. She will face Michael Wolfe, who got 18 percent. A third candidate, Andrew Piloud, got 15 percent. In the general election, Issaquah voters will choose a new mayor, either council member Joe Forkner or council member Fred Butler. Candidates for the four races for city council are unopposed. For the Issaquah School Board, Lisa Callan and Alison Meryweather will face off for Director District No. 4. Marnie Maraldo is unopposed for District Director No. 2. In Sammamish, Kathleen Huckabay and Larry Wright will vie for Council Position No. 1. Candidates for council positions 3, 5 and 7 are unopposed as is the Director District No. 4 seat on the Lake Washington School Board.
Community members from Redmond and Sammamish turned out in full force July 26 to celebrate the Sammamish Landing grand opening. COURTESY OF THE CITY OF SAMMAMISH
Landing celebrates opening The city of Sammamish celebrated the grand opening of Sammamish Landing Park on July 26 with an official ribbon cutting and a beach party with live music and food. Attendees were encouraged to walk, bike or boat to the event, since there is no parking lot on site.
Prizes were awarded to those who walked, biked or paddled the longest distance to attend the festivities. The 8-acre waterfront park on Lake Sammamish, just below the northern city limits, features two new docks, a pair of picnic shelters and room to swim, kayak and tie up boats.

Treasures just waiting to be discovered Sometimes short-lived and capricious, other times more enduring, fashions come and go with little mercy for consumers. But the same cannot be said of antiques, which have character and soul and only get nobler with the passage of time. Attracted by trendy fashions, many of us threw away the “old junk” inherited from family members. But as people get their fill of superficiality and begin to return to their roots, they would love to be able to recuperate Great-grandma’s solid wood kitchen table, an ancestor’s elegant chest of drawers, or a great-uncle’s precious gramophone.
Page 11
During their summer vacations, many people are motivated to indulge such feelings of nostalgia with exploratory trips to antique shops, which are veritable treasure troves overflowing with history. Avid collectors might look for pedigreed finds, while amateurs and neophytes might easily fall in love with a simple vase, lamp, or desk that will give a unique cachet to their eclectic decor. Dusted, polished and restored, antiques can recover all their past glory. After all, artisans created these enduring pieces with loving care from any material at hand. As witnesses to another era, they have acquired the stature of works of art while still bearing their humble origins as everyday objects in another time. In a society where furniture and appliances are so quickly discarded, antiques are meant to be cherished through the generations. Happy hunting this summer!

Eastlake Sammamish teen competes in international soccer tournaments All-Stars
make noise at Regionals
BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
While members of another Eastside FC team were bringing a National Championship back to the Eastside, one player from Sammamish and three of her Eastside FC teammates joined a team that traveled to Denmark and Sweden for a pair of international competitions. Sammamish’s Samantha Bening joined a team of players from around the state with Benson Soccer that took a trip to Europe to compete in the Gothia Cup in Sweden as well as another tournament in Denmark. The team reached the championship game of the tournament in Denmark, which is the largest in the country, and finished in the quarterfinals of the Gothia Cup. The team defeated squads from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and the United States during the two tournaments and Bening said after some initial apprehension about a two week-plus stay outside the country and with teammates she barely knew, the excitement of international competition took over. “I ended up not being homesick,” she said. “I was really excited about meeting the other teams from around the world and trading items with them.”
Trip to WS on line Saturday
Samantha Bening (second from right) and three of her teammates who recently competed in Denmark and Sweden. CONTRIBUTED More than 35,000 players from 75 countries come to Sweden for the Gothia Cup, which included more than 4,000 games in boys and girls soccer. Bening said off-field activities like sightseeing and amusement park trips created an inclusive and respectful atmosphere among the teams. “It wasn’t just all soccer,” she said.

While many of her teammates had a more difficult time communicating with players from other countries, Bening said she speaks Spanish and German and was able to enrich her experience through her ability to communicate. “I connected with a lot of people from Spain,” she said. “It was really fun being able to talk to some people who spoke those languages.”
Eastlake kept its record perfect in tact and ensured itself a spot in the knockout stage of the Northwest Regional Little League tournament with a pair of wins, 10-4 win over Montana on Monday and a 9-5 comeback effort against Lake Oswego, Ore. on Tuesday, and was two wins from a spot in the Little League World Series as of the Reporter’s Wednesday press time. Bryce Delay had three hits and Jack Casper and Nathan Fitzgibbons each knocked in a pair of runs in the win over Montana while a Jacob Dahlstrom grand slam in the top half of the sixth inning with the game tied capped the comeback from a 5-0 deficit and give Eastlake the win against Oregon. Eastlake fell behind in both games, 1-0 in the first inning to Montana and 5-0 in the third to Oregon, but was able to rebound on each occasion and now finds itself as the top seed headed into Thursday’s semi-finals. The semi-final game was Thursday and the championship game is slated for Saturday at 5 p.m. with both scheduled for television broadcast on ESPN2. Dalton Chandler had a pair of hits and knocked in three runs and four Eastlake pitchers combined on a three-hitter as the squad from Sammamish moved to 2-0 with a 16-2 win over the state champions from Cody, Wyo. Eastlake opened the tournament with a 10-2 over the state champs from Alaska last Friday.

METROPOLITAN KING COUNTY COUNCIL KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON Anne Noris Clerk of the Council Published in the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter on August 9, 2013. #836448
MISTAKEN ID Issaquah police were called July 28 after witnesses reported seeing two males carrying rifles over the bridge near the Highlands Park and Ride. Officers found the suspects who were actually carrying skateboards.
EXTINGUISHED Officers responded to a call of juveniles starting a fire in the woods in the 200 block of Southwest Clark Street in Issaquah. Police extinguished the fire and released the two boys to their parents.
RECKLESS DRIVING A 36-year-old Sammamish woman was pulled over July 22 for driving recklessly after speeding past an officer at 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. When officers stopped the woman in the 4400 block of Issaquah Pine Lake Road Southeast, she began screaming frantically that her husband was having heart problems. The officer followed her to the hospital. After hospital staff took the man in for evaluation, the woman admitted her husband asked her to slow down. Officers admitted it was a unique and unfortunate incident, but she was still jeopardizing the safety and lives of others, including her own children,
who were in the minivan. The report was forwarded to the prosecutor.
SADDLE THIEF A Mercer Island woman called Sammamish police July 20 after discovering her $5,000 horse saddle was stolen from a stable in the 20700 block of Southeast 34th Street. There is no evidence or suspects at this time.
UNDERAGE DUI An 18-year-old Sammamish man was arrested July 20 for driving under the influence. The man was pulled over near Northeast 28th Street and Sahalee Way for following another vehicle too closely. The driver immediately told police his car smelled of intoxicants, but he was sober. A 21-year-old man in the back seat said he’d been drinking, while two underage females in the car also denied drinking. Despite the attempt, police smelled intoxicants on the breath of the driver, who blew a .22. The suspect, who said he was concerned he would now lose a swimming scholarship at a major university, was picked up from the station by his mother.
BUSTED Sammamish police responded to a call July 13 of kids smoking marijuana in the woods near Southeast Third Place and 244th Avenue Southeast. Upon arrival they found three teens, who admitted to smoking marijuana and handed over the drugs. The teens were forced to call their parents, who came to pick them up.
Man arrested for cyberstalking ex
Issaquah police arrested a 26-year-old man July 31, for cyberstalking his ex-girlfriend. The woman, who lives in Issaquah, first contacted police when she found several suggestive photos of herself posted online without her permission. In one case, the suspect pretended to be his ex-girlfriend online by posting the photos with a fake Craigslist ad for a massage escort. Police obtained supporting evidence of the crimes after serving search warrants to various Internet providers. Officers then arrested the suspect, who lives outside of Issaquah, for multiple counts of domestic violence cyber stalking, a gross misdemeanor.

Distracted drivers targeted The Washington State Patrol and local law enforcement agencies have extra patrols on the road, targeting distracted drivers, connected to the use of cellular phones or texting while driving in King County. The enforcement effort will continue through Aug. 23. “Distracted driving is quickly becoming one of the main reasons for collisions on our roadways,” said Lt. Michael Rupert of the Washington State Patrol. Research by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission showed that from 2009-2012, distracted driverinvolved collisions accounted for 20 percent of all traffic deaths in King County. A study by the University of Utah confirmed that subjects who text while driving are six times more likely to be involved in a collision than a drunk driver. Distracted driving goes beyond just cellular phone use or texting; reading, eating and adjusting music are other factors that can affect a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle in a safe manner. In Washington State, drivers are prohibited from texting or talking on their cellular phones without the use of a hands-free device. The fine for a violation is $124, but could be increased in the case of a traffic collision.

Just dropping on in The Northwest Paragliding Club’s recent annual Fly-In near Issaquah attracted 79 people who took a tandem flight with one of 20 pilots at the event. Though fog kept everyone grounded for the first two hours, the
sun later made for a day for soaring above the treetops. The club reduced the cost of tandem flights from $195 to $130 for the day, with all proceeds going to the club.
Obliteride, a bike ride to raise money for cancer research, will make its way into Sammamish and Issaquah this Saturday, Aug. 10. The ride starts in Seattle’s Magnuson Park and there are four different length rides — 25, 50, 100 and 180 miles. The longest ride loops along the East Lake Sammamish Trail before continuing on to Tacoma, where participants will spend the night. “Cancer affects all of us and we want the entire community to feel welcome to come on out to Magnuson Park and cheer on all the riders who have raised money for cancer research at Fred Hutch,” said Amy Lavin, Obliteride’s executive director, in a statement.
