IN THE CROSSHAIRS Issaquah High School custodian in disbelief over police confrontation
BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
After 20 years as a custodian at Issaquah High School, you would think the administrators would recognize Allen Anderson. IHS is even his alma mater — he graduated in 1972. So when Anderson was facing two M4s and a host of other artillery Oct. 7 at the school, suffice it to say it was a shock. Anderson started his day like any other. He carries a large golf umbrella because he walks part of the way to work. His shift begins at 2:40 p.m. and he never knows what the weather is going to be like at the end. Like always, he got off the bus at Front Street and Second Avenue, then walked the rest of the way. He said he cut diagonally across the bus loop, entered the school and went to the staff lounge. Pat Miller and Paul Shockley – other custodians – came in the lounge, and a minute or two later the announcement came over the PA system. “We’re going into lockdown – this is not a drill.” Anderson turned on his radio and he could hear administrators talking about what to do – should they call other nearby schools? “At that point in time they were doing all their panicking,” Anderson said. “They said it was someone in camo carrying a rifle.” Anderson said he called assistant principal, Derek Heinz, who had seen Anderson in the same coat and clothes, and countless times with his umbrella, and told Heinz he had on everything matching the description of the “suspect.” Heinz said they had a reliable witness, which Miller and Shockley heard him say. Heinz said it was someone else. Procedure in a lockdown is to the pull the blinds and lock the door in all rooms, so the three men did just that. Anderson told Miller he was going to take his coat off in case the police came in and thought he was a shooter. “About 10 minutes later Derek came back on the radio and said the police wanted me to put back on whatever I was wearing and bring my umbrella to the front office,” Anderson said. He got up front to find it eerily deserted and quiet, so he proceeded to the entrance. “It’s really quiet and I’m standing there wondering where this police officer is that I’m supposed to talk to,” he said. From there, he said it was like his world went into slow motion. SEE CUSTODIAN, 9
Funding under microscope Issaquah Council examines Eastside Fire’s funding model BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
There seems to be a consensus among the partners in Eastside Fire and Rescue that the funding model needs to be changed, but no one is really sure how to do it. At Monday’s Issaquah City Council meeting, EFR Deputy Chief, Greg Tyron, said decreasing property values in Districts 10 and 38 have revealed flaws in the funding model. Station 83, also known as the Klahanie Station, runs most of the calls, but roughly 50 percent of those calls go to Issaquah — yet Issaquah pays only six percent of the cost for that station, Tyron said. Sammamish, which owns station 83, has been unhappy with the funding model for sometime, because it is the only one of the partners paying into EFR based on assessed values, thereby getting the short end of the stick. In a meeting last week, representatives from Fire District 10, one of EFR’s partners, said they were open and interested in a funding model that may include a 75/25 split in the partnership, with funding coming from 75 percent of SEE EASTSIDE, 18

For Roberta Scholdan, retirement means adventure
BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Roberta Scholdan has packed much into her 89 years. Her fondness of wildlife, archeology, and ancient civilizations has led her to explore the world, particularly Africa. On the cusp of retirement in 1989, the Issaquah resident decided to go with her eldest daughter, Dixie, and six other women on a photographic safari in Kenya, Africa. She was immediately taken with the wildlife, the culture, history and the intriguing native people, the Maasai. The result was her first book, “Echoes of my African Heart — Life and Adventure in a Fabled Continent.” In the book she states that, after she got back from the first trip with her daughter, “Africa has crept into my heart.” She returned to the United States and started planning her move to Kenya. A year later she had settled outside of Nairobi in the suburb of Lang’ata, remaining there until 1997. She lived near friends she made on the first trip, across from the Nairobi National Game Park. “It was a time I could do what I really wanted to do,” she said. “I was right at home there. It’s so beautiful.” At times there would be uprisings by the people, which were worrisome. She said the biggest discrepancy was the difference between those that have and those that have-not. “It borders Somalia, so shifters would come in with their AK-47’s and they are very scary,” Scholdan said. Guns are not allowed in Kenya. Scholdan said the majority of the population of Kenya is under 16-years of age; the elders died of HIV or malaria. The life span of the average Kenyan is 49 or 50, but she thinks it’s getting better, due to access to vaccinations. She loved the people and the research going on in Kenya regarding the origin of man. She said the people were patient, wonderful with children, and very easily pleased. “They are happy and natural,” Scholdan said. “They live in one room houses, but the children are immaculately dressed. They were helpful and eager to learn.” And, the Kenyans were definitely interested in what goes on over here. Scholdan said they knew more about American politics than we do. She had a few scary moments with wildlife. She recalled a time in Tsavo East, a game park in Kenya, the home of Tsavo lions. Her group was watching a pride, when one of the maneless man-eaters walked up to

driver moved the car slowly and got away. “They know there’s more there than metal parts. These lions were very aggressive,” she said. While she has not seen a tiger in the wild, she’s seen everything else. “I think leopards are the most dangerous,” she said. “They’re very stealthy — you don’t see one coming, then he’s on top of you. Don’t make eye contact with one — he’ll come after you.” Even after she left Kenya, she traveled back to Africa every year for five years. Besides Kenya, she has visited Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula. She said she had very little trouble with violence, but learned to be aware of where she was and keep a low profile. Wearing expensive jewelry or carrying an expensive camera were not a good idea, she said. “I loved Namibia, there are lots of deserts and canyons,” she said. “The oldest desert in the world is there,” she said. She was also very fond of Botswana. After that first trip with the other women, she traveled alone. Prior to retiring she was a nurse in Providence, Rhode Island working in the hospital. But a back injury sidelined her so she worked in the ER as a medical secretary. Her life was interesting before her African adventures. Scholdan was a figure skater who competed nationally, which is how she met her husband, Edi, a hall of fame Olympic figure skating coach. She lost Edi and her 11-year-old son in a plane crash in 1961. “It was a huge sports disaster,” she said. “It wiped out the whole team.” The 18-member U.S. figure skating team was killed when the plane went down in Berg-Kampenhout, Belgium. The team was on its way to the 1961 World Figure

BALLOT ISSUES
A
State, county, local measures have impacts
number of important issues are on the Nov. 5 ballot. Two statewide issues have drawn strong pro and con arguments. In addition, important votes will be cast on two countywide issues and one local issue. Here is our take on all five.
Statewide
I-517: Initiative gathering No Our state has the initiative process to make sure that the public has a way to propose legislation that it finds necessary, but that the Legislature won’t consider. It works well here. I-517 adds elements that aren’t necessary, and would be costly to cities and counties. The measure tries to make the case that people are at risk from attacks or retaliation for seeking signatures on petitions and would make doing so a crime. That’s hardly the case. In fact, former Secretary of State Sam Reed said most of the complaints his office handled involved signature gatherers being overly aggressive. I-517 would make that worse by letting people gather signatures in any public space, like Safeco Field, Century Link Field, or even at a local high school basketball game. Equally bad, the initiative would force cities and counties to put an initiative on the ballot even if its already been ruled illegal. Taxpayers would be stuck with the bill for counting ballots for something that never could become law. I-522: Genetically engineered foods No. Both the state and federal government are charged with keeping our food safe. I-522 would go beyond this by forcing our state to impose labeling requirements on genetically engineered foods. Proponents say the public has a right to know what foods have been genetically modified. The problem? Not all genetically engineered foods would have to have the ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

label. Despite the scary sound of “genetically engineered food,” most of the food we eat is exactly that. And the federal Food and Drug Administration and most scientists say it’s entirely safe. In fact, many farmers who grow organic crops use genetically modified resources. Nevertheless, I-522 would mandate new labels for thousands of products while at the same time allowing thousands of other GMO foods to remain unlabeled. Supermarkets would be required to have GMO labels on food, but not restaurants. Food from foreign countries also would be exempt. So much for safety. University scientists, former heads of the state Department of Agriculture, president of the Washington Farm Bureau and many others oppose this initiative. Many initiatives written by the public are poorly drafted and ineffective. That’s the problem with I-522.
County
King County Charter Amendment No. 1: Creating a county department of public defense Yes. Our Constitution says that people accused of a crime are entitled to a lawyer even if they can’t afford one. To meet this standard, King County has contracted with private, non-profit corporations to act as these public defenders. Because the non-profits were seen as independent contractors, they didn’t receive county benefits even though the defense they provided was paid for by the public. A class-action settlement made these defenders county employees. This proposition creates the actual department of public defense. It would be within the executive branch, as are other county departments. There is no formal opposition to the measure.
?
Question of the week: “Have you or will you vote in the general election?”
King County Proposition No. 1: Medic One Yes. Even if you’ve never had to use it, you know the county’s Medic One program is a lifesaver. In fact, it is recognized as one of the best emergency medical service systems in the world. Proposition No. 1 keeps this in place by replacing an expiring property tax levy with a new one for the next six years. The tax rate would be $0.335 or less per thousand dollars of assessed value. That’s just $100 a year for a house with an assessed valuation of $300,000. That’s actually less than what the average homeowner paid in 2008 for these same services. Any way you add this up, it’s a bargain.
Local
Issaquah Proposition No. 1: Parks, Recreation, Pool and Open Space Bonds Yes. Issaquah is a beautiful place to live. We have park, a pool, recreational facilities and open space. However, like anything, over time improvements need to be made. Proposition No. 1 would authorize no more than $10 million in bonds to renovate Julius Boehm Pool, improve Central Park, Tibbetts Valley Park, Meerwood Park, and Gibson Park. It also would pay to preserve open space that protects creeks, natural areas and wildlife habitat. The bonds would be paid for over 20 years and the city estimates that the annual cost would be $0.11 per thousand of assessed valuation, or about $33 a year. Proposition No. 1 makes sure that our pool, parks and open spaces will be available in the future to be enjoyed by everyone. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Now not the time to play politics
S
ammamish politicians are playing politics with public safety. The City Council will vote on Nov. 12 to leave Eastside Fire and Rescue (EFR) and start its own fire department based on an inconclusive and unrealistic study. They seem prepared to decide the future of fire service when even their own “expert” consultants wouldn’t make that recommendation. Sammamish residents currently enjoy high-quality, comprehensive and community-based fire and life safety services while paying less than anyone else in the EFR partnership. The quality and value of EFR is why Sammamish citizens ranked Jon Wiseman fire service as one of the top three areas of satisfaction in the city’s public survey last year. That’s higher than the council scored. No other Washington city is starting its own fire depart-
LETTERS BUTLER’S PARK SUPPORT AN ASSET TO ISSAQUAH Fred Butler has been a great supporter of parks and open spaces within the city of Issaquah and adjoining the city. During Fred’s tenure on the council, he has strongly supported the acquisition and improvement of many city parks and open spaces. Issaquah has a large state park on both its north and south borders and a large county park on both its west and east borders. These parks may never be within the city limits, but provide great benefit to our city and the region. I know of no other city in the Puget Sound Basin that adjoins the quality and quantity of park and open space we enjoy. Fred’s regional experience and many contacts will directly benefit Issaquah as he works with state and county elected officials to insure the needed resources and management are provided to these great green spaces. The regional natural resource lands that surround Issaquah are very much identified with our quality of life and the economic strength of our city. Their value is much appreciated by Fred both personally and by his actions as a councilmember. I fully expect Fred to be a great leader in support of city and adjoining parks and opens spaces as our mayor. David Kappler, Issaquah
MERYWEATHER HAS ETHIC OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY Alison Meryweather is the qualified candidate for election to be retained as a director
ment because costs outweigh the benefits. With EFR, taxpayers share costs and resources with other communities to receive a more comprehensive level of service than they could alone. Sharing resources eliminates duplication of services and greatly reduces overhead and administration costs. EFR personnel also support the community through programs in public schools, charitable activities and training the Sammamish Community Emergency Response Team. Citizens have a lot to lose if Sammamish creates its own bare-bones fire department. Based on the city’s cost analysis, the new department wouldn’t have fire investigators, firefighter training, fire safety education in schools, a volunteer program or assurances for mutual aid from surrounding jurisdictions. The city plans to eliminate essential personnel who direct fire, medical and rescue activities in the field and residents will lose specialized teams such as Water Rescue, Wild Land Fire and Hazardous Materials
on the Issaquah School Board. Meryweather's sense of personal responsibility for the wise and accountable use of "other people's" tax dollars invested in our community schools is exceptional. Such an ethic of fiscal responsibility is essential to assure public trust in the Issaquah School District’s transparent management of almost $280 million in education funding. In my decade of public service to our community in the Legislature; Meryweather's character and capacity as an engaged parent and thoughtful educational advocacy leader distinctly stood out as the Legislature struggled through complex education reforms and adequate funding issues. Her direct involvement was a compelling example to others and had a significant influence on the successful enactment of those reforms and the consequent state Supreme Court decision to mandate full funding by the Legislature. As a state representative I knew how easy it is for public money to get "redirected" away from our core expectations of student academic achievement, fair compensation for teachers and investing in transportation and facilities infrastructure. Meryweather's strong sense of detail will assure taxpayers that every dollar makes a real difference. Glenn Anderson, 5th District state representative, 2001-2013

Response. The report shows minimal savings with a new department because critical services and personnel aren’t included. Savings would be achieved by cutting corners and reducing the quality of services, which puts residents and their first responders at risk. Greater risk means higher insurance premiums for homes and businesses and loss of life and property. The council and mayor delayed their decision after hearing from concerned and angry citizens last week. The city needs to engage in statesmanship instead of Washington, D.C.-style brinksmanship. Their inability to work with others on the EFR board is a bad reason to start a fire department that will reduce the quality of emergency services, cost taxpayers more and jeopardize public safety.

He has been responding to calls in Sammamish since 2003.
challenged the facts with non-truths and rumors. Why waste the taxpayers' money, time and efforts to continue this battle of cities. The right to annex legally belongs to Issaquah and it already has completed a thorough study, this time and in 2004-05, of the positives/negatives, costs/revenue considerations and decided with a 5-1 positive vote by the City Council to move forward. Sammamish had eight years since the 2005 vote to negotiate with Issaquah and King County toward an opportunity for them to annex Klahanie and nearby neighborhoods and did nothing until now. Sammamish doesn’t want us or it would have taken action sooner. However it does need us and our tax revenue for growth – while Issaquah wants us and has shown it through its efforts and actions.

Kathy Huckabay is a fiscally conservative planner who started her City Council service encouraging the council to include future expenses, such as maintenance costs for parks, into the city's long-term financial budgets. As a result, finances are exceptionally strong – we are one of the very few cities with no long-term debt and a AAA bond rating. This is one of Kathy’s proudest accomplishments. I know that Kathy will continue to keep on eye on the city's finances. It's critical as we look forward to building a community center, weighing the costs and benefits of a Sammamish Fire Department and managing the growth that continues to come our way. Kathy also has worked hard on projects that made Sammamish a nationally recognized community – great parks, pristine lakes, a growing trail system, and most importantly encouraging dedicated volunteers who serve the city in myriad ways. She is herself a frequent volunteer in the city. Looking forward, Kathy sees the need to expand cultural and recreation opportunities, transit options and increased services and amenities – restaurants, retail shops and medical office space. There's also a need to provide diverse housing options – cottage and sustainable housing, smaller homes and condos that will allow young people and seniors to stay in their community. Kathy has the time and energy this job requires and will work to make sure that our city continues to be a “family friendly community." Lori McIntosh, Sammamish
TRAFFIC CONDITION DANGEROUS We need help influencing a change to the right-turn traffic lights exiting Klahanie entering onto Duthie Hill Road. Someone is going to get killed at that intersection and it could be prevented. When traffic has the right of way on Duthie Hill there should be a no right turn signal as Duthie Hill traffic is traveling 40 mph. I see people run the light turning right every day so they can beat a car that is maybe only 100 feet from the intersection. The police could make thousands of dollars in fines simply by sitting and observing the red light runners and unsafe right turns. Help us residents before someone is killed. Jim Terry, Sammamish

Jason Ritchie, an Issaquah business owner, has announced that he will challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert. “I’ve never run for office before, but in the past few months I’ve joined the majority of Americans who are fed up with the extreme partisanship in the U.S. House,” said Ritchie, who will run as a Democrat. “This shutdown has impacted the lives of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. I work every day with disabled vets, seniors, victims of accidents – many who depend on federal benefits as a result of their service to our country and communities. Dave Reichert’s refusal to break with the Tea Party extremists and stick with the people of our district tells us whose side he is really on.” Ritchie said will focus on what he calls a “common sense platform of good jobs, great schools, and putting people before politics.” He is the father of two boys, one school aged and enrolled in Issaquah Public Schools. Ritchie will be touring the district in the coming weeks to formally launch his campaign.

REPORTER Q/A | Issaquah mayoral candidates Fred Butler and Joe Forkner
1
If the annexation of the Klahanie PAA is not successful (the citizens vote not to annex) will you, as the new mayor, consider removing it from Issaquah’s comprehensive plan so that Sammamish could add it to its comprehensive plan and potentially annex the area?
Fred Butler
Joe Forkner
The Issaquah and Sammamish Reporter asked candidates for mayor of Issaquah, Fred Butler and Joe Forkner, seven questions about issues facing the city. Here are their replies.
Butler: While removing the Klahanie PAA from our Comprehensive Plan is a policy question for the council to decide, I would support removing Klahanie from our PAA if Klahanie citizens vote not to be annexed to Issaquah. Forkner: If the Klahanie annexation fails this next year, I would recommend the annexation area be removed from our PAA. Klahanie should have the opportunity to annex to Sammamish if they reject an Issaquah annexation.
2
Will you pursue using the Lower Reid Infiltration Gallery if the state Department of Ecology approves the permit, although it remains controversial that the storm water coming from the Issaquah Highlands could pollute the aquifer and nearby wells? Are you willing to put your constituents health at risk? Butler: I will not support anything that places the aquifer at risk or jeopardizes the health of our citizens. I promote continuing discussions with all parties to determine to best way to protect our aquifer and address storm water management. Forkner: I am not willing to put constituents at risk. I also believe that the Department of Ecology’s decision to proceed and any associated requirements for treatment would also not put constituents at risk. Since this is a trial program, if any problems arise, the city could halt the pro-
gram and consider other alternatives, but we must protect our groundwater.
3
There is a very real possibility that Sammamish will pull out of Eastside Fire and Rescue. The council has voted to pay Issaquah’s “fair share” to acquire Station 83. It’s not for sale. How do you address that? Butler: I support EFR and recognize the value of regional fire service. Discussions on the future of Fire Station 83 are complex. I believe that current ongoing discussions with Sammamish and EFR partners will lead us to a fair and reasonable solution. Forkner: There are short term alternatives such as a temporary fire station that could serve Klahanie and Providence Point until a more permanent solution could be found. Being a partner in Eastside Fire and Rescue gives Issaquah the best alternatives for serving the area if Station 83 is not attainable.
4
Traffic and parking are a very real problem in Issaquah. What will you do to ease the pressure. Is LID 25 (The North Issaquah LID) any closer to fruition? Butler: I will take an integrated system approach to get the maximum efficiency from our transportation, transit and non-motorized network, improve our commute trip reduction outreach, upgrade our Intelligent Transportation System and apply Adaptive Transportation Management where appropriate. The North Issaquah LID is moving forward with a $5 million grant from the state for early environmental work. Parking in our downtown core can be a problem at certain times especially during the evening. Our parking studies

have shown that there is adequate parking, but some is restrictive private business parking. I will continue to support efforts of the Downtown Issaquah Association to coordinate parking with Downtown businesses. Forkner: LID 25 is ongoing. The magnitude of the project will require time for complete design and for adequate funding. Parking in downtown Issaquah is being evaluated by the city’s Economic Development Department in cooperation with Downtown Issaquah Association. I intend to investigate upgrading the Intelligent Transportation System, the networking of the city’s signal light system, to be a real-time monitoring system to further aid in smooth traffic flow.
5
There is a growing trend of heroin and meth use in Issaquah. This is very troubling, especially given most are younger people. What will you do to help these people, kids, get on the road to recovery? Butler: We need to have a community conversation that includes the city, the Issaquah School District, law enforcement, the faith-based community and resource agencies on how to address the growing trend of drug use in Issaquah. It is a community problem that needs a community solution. This Community Summit should lead to a plan with specific actions and next steps for solving this health and social issue. Forkner: The city has supported human services in the past and is currently working to help locate a human services campus in Issaquah that will better serve these, and others, with human service needs.

It’s hard to tell if she will go back to Africa. “There’s so many other places I want to see,” Scholdan said. “Russia, Mongolia, back to Vienna….” She trails off. So many places in
6
What do you see as a common-sense economic growth plan? In other words how to you bring new business to Issaquah, yet do it in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way? Butler: I would develop professional marketing material and a marketing plan to attract the type of sustainable businesses that would be a good fit for Issaquah. I would form a public private marketing team and aggressively promote Issaquah. Forkner: I believe in using the Economic Development Department, the Economic Vitality Commission and the Chamber of Commerce to guide the city to sustainable and environmentally friendly economic growth. The expertise available through these organizations can be helpful as we move forward to get the right businesses for Issaquah’s future.
7
What is your plan to end the strained dynamic with Sammamish?
Butler: Collaboration is the key while recognizing that we both have an obligation to look after the best interests of our citizens. I will make regular scheduled meetings with Sammamish leadership a priority. The purpose of these meetings will be to identify emerging issues and progress on existing unresolved issues and the next steps for reaching an agreement. Forkner: I would plan to sit down and discuss previous problems that both cities have encountered through the years and see if there are common positions to begin discussions to improve relationships. It has taken time to get to this point and it will take time to get back the trust we once had. the world to see. Scholdan will be talking about her book and her life in Africa at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Issaquah Library. “Echoes of My African Heart — Life and Adventure in a Fabled Continent” is available on Amazon.com, for Kindle and by order through Barnes and Noble.

“I saw a police officer with a bipod and sniper rifle. He was outside and in the same section across from him was another officer with a rifle resting on his SUV,” Anderson said. “Then, two cops by the theater entrance had M4s pointed at me. At that point in time it hit me really good that these idiots are going to do something stupid.” He said Heinz came back on the radio and told him the police wanted him to put down his umbrella. He dropped it and didn’t move. Then they ordered him to put the radio down, slowly. He was thinking “this is it, they’re going to shoot.” Heinz said over the radio that Anderson needed to come out of the building. “I’m in the same position as the guy two years ago,” Anderson said. He was referring to the Sept. 2011 incident where a gunman was shot five times by Issaquah police officers near Clark Elementary. Anderson said that incident made him feel that the police were trigger happy. Anderson, who is hard of hearing, said the officers were shouting commands at him. “I hollered at them that I was hard of hearing, so they told me to put my hands on my head,” Anderson said. “Then they searched me – not a very good search.” He was ordered to sit on a concrete wall, in the open, which he said made him uneasy, because if there was a gunman, he was a sitting duck. The police questioned him, asking him if he had any guns. He told them they should know because he’s had a pistol permit since 1978 through the city of Seattle. Then they asked him if he had any guns on him, to which he replied that he did not – he likes his job. They finally went back into the building and an officer in SWAT gear went in with him. Anderson had to unlock the building door and also the office door. “Then - whooph! Everyone wanted out of the building,” Anderson said. He went back to the staff lounge and told Miller and Shockley what happened and that the lockdown was over. The officers left, giving him no explanation whatsoever and no apology. “I was in a state of shock,” Anderson said, tears welling up in his eyes. He said the whole thing lasted about 15-minutes, but it seemed like an eternity. Anderson told Miller he didn’t feel good, and called the office (in May Valley) and talked to the secretary. He told her what happened and that he wanted to go home. “I exited the building and started to walk home when Candy (Hammer, his supervisor) pulled up in a school district van,” he said. She motioned for him to get in and said she’d take him home. “I told her I didn’t understand what just happened to me,” he said. When they got close to Jackson’s gas station, he asked her to stop so he could get a beer. From there he walked to a friend’s house, because alcohol is not allowed in a school district vehicle. Anderson saw a counselor, but said the best form of healing for him was to go back to work, which he did Oct. 17.
WWW.ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
But he didn’t sleep for several nights until he saw his regular doctor to get something to help him sleep. Anderson met with Heinz, school Sup. Ron Thiele, former Issaquah Principal and Executive Director of High Schools Paula Phelps, and his union representative Monday. He was told the initial 911 call was made by a student. When the call came in to police, school resource officer Karin Weihe ordered the lockdown. “I still don’t understand why they sent me in front of the guns,” Anderson said. He still hasn’t seen a police video of the event, but he plans to request a copy. Phelps is arranging a meeting with Weihe to get more answers. “The police were running the show,” Anderson said.
“I saw a police officer with a bipod and sniper rifle ... Across from him was was another officer with a rifle resting on his SUV ... Then it hit me really good that these idiots are going to do something stupid.”

– Allen Anderson Issaquah police Commander Scott Behrbaum said with school shootings on the rise, law enforcement has had to change its response to school incidents. “Our department has to ensure kids are protected,” he said. “We took this call very seriously.” Behrbaum said once police arrived and got information from Weihe that it might be an employee, his officers had already exited their vehicles and taken out their equipment. “We recognize that when a person calls in, we have to respond,” Behrbaum said. “We encourage people to call in when they see something suspicious. We view all calls as pieces to the puzzle.” Anderson served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He has a 38-year-old son he raised since the boy was 3. He’s having a hard time focusing at work now. He wants to understand why this happened. He also feels the custodial staff is discriminated against. “Teachers and administrators can all go back to the school after hours to use the weight room, play basketball – we all have keys but we can’t,” Anderson said. “It makes me feel like a secondclass citizen after I’ve given them 20 years and given them work to the best of my ability.”

Fast. Professional. Friendly.
Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964
Heating Season is Here!
Check out our Furnace Tune-up Special Below!
Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating “How did Fox Plumbing & HeatQ ing get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
Q
:
“What plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installation?”
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that
we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, providing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix
I have used FOX Plumbing several times over the years for various problems. Prior to calling them I had used 2 other local companies and found them more interested in selling their products than fixing my problems. FOX has always been responsive, they explain what needs to be done, why and how they will do it--and at a reasonable cost. I own an older home and their staff know their stuff, they are polite and thoughtful of the customers needs. - Nancy Travis, Seattle

Fletcher’s ‘Book Shelf ’ opens the world through reading LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
A reading specialist and former reading coordinator for the Tahoma School District for 42 years, Ann Fletcher knows about many different genres of books, book companies, what books are trending and which ones are not. Her knowledge and passion for reading made it a natural fit for her to commandeer “Book Shelf,” the community outreach program of Friends of the Issaquah Library. During Book Shelf, children up to age 18 can come to the foyer of the food bank where hundreds of new or gently used books are set up in carts. Kids can take one or two books home with them. The goal of Book Shelf is to promote family reading, early literacy, and library participation by distributing appealing, appropriate books to families at the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. Started in 2005, Book Shelf is funded by two book sales the Friends of the Library hold each year. In fact the next one is Nov. 1-3 at the library. All of the books at the Friends sale are donated — and the group is still accepting donations. Dues from the Friends also helps fund Book Shelf. Fletcher said it was important to establish a good relationship with the Food and Clothing Bank, which they did. She buys books that are hard to find, such as bilingual books. With her literary partners, she often gets books at a very special price, including 20 percent off at
Barnes and Noble. The books are sorted and separated by age category. That’s where her expertise comes in. In keeping up with trends, she knows what kids like. The Twilight books are still of interest to the tween crowd, and Berenstein Bears continue to be popular with the little ones. And now, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys carry cell phones. “Parents know what their kids are reading,” she said. “If they can’t find anything that interests them, I try to find it.” The Book Shelf program was the brainchild of Leslie Willson, secretary of Friends of the Issaquah Library as a way to provide books for disadvantaged kids. Fletcher has been involved since its inception. She has a total of about 16 volunteers, mostly retired teachers and librarians, but could use more. Fletcher has the books delivered to her home where they are organized by age group, and processed. This year will mark a milestone, as they give out book number 20,000 at some point in the distribution. To celebrate the 20,000 book milestone, Monday, Oct. 28, from 5-7 p.m., not only will they give away books, but alumni from the pre-school, A Children’s Garden, will have homemade book marks for each book. The book shelf will return to the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank Nov. 5-7 from 10 a.m. until noon each day to distribute books. More more information: fletcherann@ msn.com.

very week, 100 Western Washington women are diagnosed with breast cancer, which continues to be the second most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S., after skin cancer. We don’t yet know the exact causes of breast cancer, and many myths about breast cancer continue to exist. But probably the best way to prevent and survive a breast cancer diagnosis is to be informed. All women are at risk for breast cancer. Although this disease is more common in women over the age of 40, younger women can and do get breast cancer as well. To reduce risk, here are some things you should know. • If you are over 40 years old, have a mammogram. The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and Susan G. Komen all agree that women age 40 and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. Early detection is the key to survival. The five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early, is 99 percent. When detected at the latest stage, the survival rate drops to 23 percent. • Know what is normal for you. See your health provider right away if you notice a lump, swelling, changes in breast size or a new pain in one spot that does not go away.
• Live a healthy lifestyle. Maintain a healthy weight. Add exercise to your routine. Limit your use of alcohol. Breastfeed, if you can. And, since we live in the Northwest, current studies point to maintaining a normal level of vitamin D as helpful. However, if you fear that you might be at greater risk for breast cancer because your mother or grandmother had the disease, you should know that most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Only five to 10 percent of breast cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. Other common misperceptions about breast cancer risk include underwire bras, abortion, plastics, deodorant use, breast implants, fertility drugs, hair dyes and trauma to the breast. One more thing. If you fear a breast cancer diagnosis is a death sentence, let me tell you that is also not the case. Today, there are nearly 3 million breast cancer survivors living in the US. And I am one of them. If you have ever seen our Race for the Cure Survivor’s Parade, you would see many survivors living happy and full lives 30 years after their diagnosis or longer. Above all, the best advice I can give is to ask you to take an active role in your own breast health. And if you are over 40 years old, and have yet to be been screened for breast cancer, do it today. There is no time to lose.

Skyline still getting faster, ready for postseason
Sports Roundup
News and notes from sports and recreation
Eastlake boys golf takes KingCo title
BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
From the outside, the 2012 season might have looked like a disappointment for the Skyline girls swim and dive team. After capturing three team championships in a row, bolstered by a host of individual and relay titles from 2009-2011, the Spartans were fifth last season as Newport took the crown at the 4A state meet. But for head coach Susan Simpkins, the notion of last year as anything less than a success is laughable. “It was hard last year to not win against just because that was what they were used to,” she said. “But we still had a really great season.” While her team was unable to make it four straight last year, this year’s group already includes five state qualifiers in five events and more than two dozen others still with postseason aspirations as KingCo or district qualifiers. Simpkins and senior Yui Umezawa, one of those state qualifiers and a team captain, said the experience of the triumphs and misses during the past three seasons has shaped her confidence in the team and herself. With mentors like Katie Kinnear (UCLA), Maria Volodkevich (Air Force) and Andi Scarcello (Denison) all capturing state titles during her own introduction to the program as an underclassman, Umezawa said the desire to raise the bar came with the knowledge it had already been set at an almost unreachable level. “The swimmers who have left made me feel like I wanted to take their spot and step up to the plate,” she said. “I have grown so much.” While they didn’t take the team
(Left to right) Three of Skyline’s senior swim captains, Yui Umezawa, Brie Leung and Joely Pitzele, have the Spartans focused as the postseason approaches. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Postseason Bound Skyline has already qualified more than half its team to the postseason, which begins Nov. 8 at Juanita High School with the KingCo Championship Meet. KingCo: Anne Bania, Joely Pitzele, Bri Leung, Madison Cooley, Maddie Newman, Vaiva Snapkauskaite, Emily Feng, Lacey Young, Ashley Gleason, Callie Lum, Gianna Castro, Jessica He, Homa Moosavi, Hilary Taylor, Ai-Lihn Nguyen, Megan Shomaker, Kami Terry, Harriet Slater, Maeve Bowler Districts: Chase Raines, Darian Himes, Malia Nakamura, Annette Guo, Elyse Kaczmarek, Gabby Salgado, Greta Loss, Serena Xiong, Melanie Kim, Annie Moore, Jessica Clark, Hannah-Rae Ernst, Noela Lu, Holly Smith, Maggie Leist, Danie Breining, Taylor Russell State: Kathy Lin, Stephanie Munoz, Erin Taylor, Alyssa Holt, Yui Umezawa, Annette Guo scoring title in 2012, Umezawa and fellow senior captain Stephanie Munoz teamed with then-seniors Volodkevich and Scarcello to win the 200 yard medley relay final at the state championships and saw a host of others, including a pair of divers in Alyssa Holt and Erin Taylor, gain state experience. Simpkins said even though they left King County Aquatic Center with less hardware than they had become accustomed to in recent seasons, getting many of this year’s core competitors
seasoned on the state’s biggest stage should pay dividends this season. After the KingCo Invitational meet tonight at the University of Washington, Skyline will finish the regular season at Boehm Pool next Tuesday against Ballard before gearing up for the postseason, where more than half the team has already swam a qualifying standard for either KingCo, district or state competition, a first according to Simpkins. “They are focused and really motivated,” she said.
While they didn’t finish the season perfect, the Eastlake boys golf team are still champions. The Wolves outpaced Issaquah by three strokes at Snohomish Golf Course on Tuesday in the 4A KingCo Medalist Tournament, finishing with a team score of 376 behind a team best 34-36-70 from Spencer Weiss and four golfers in the top 15. Gabe Lysen shot 37-37-74 to finish in a tie for fifth along with four others, including Issaquah’s Zack Overstreet and Taylor Swingle and Skyline’s Kelley Sullivan. Scott Nielsen fired 36-39-75 and Colby Stirrat carded 77 for the Wolves, while RP McCoy also made the cut to Wednesday’s district tournament. Barret Dowling’s 76 was also good enough to play for a state spot, while teammates Sid Raman, Tom Rothwell and Dallas Beckwith also finished above the cut line. For the Spartans, Brian Mogg shot 37-36-73 to lead the way to a fourth place team finish and went to Wednesday’s round along with Sullivan, Michael Butler and younger brother Chris Mogg, fired 39-41-80. The district tournament, which qualified golfers to the 4A state tournament May 28 and 29 at Camas Meadows Golf Club, took place Wednesday at Snohomish Golf Course after the Reporter’s deadline.
Issy, Skyline meet for KingCo soccer title A day before the football teams played for a Crown Division title, the girls soccer teams from Issaquah and Skyline met with similar stakes, with the regular season conference title and right to host the tournament title game next week on the line. Both entered the game, which took place after the Reporter’s deadline, with only a single conference loss on the year. Issaquah was beaten 1-0 by Woodinville in midSeptember and the Spartans lost to the Falcons a week later by the same count. Regardless of the outcome, the two will meet again Oct. 31 in the tournament title game with an automatic state tournament berth on the line. The winner of next week’s game will be in the field of 16 while the loser will have two more opportunities, first against the survivor of the four remaining 4A KingCo teams and again in the district crossover game against the third place finisher from 4A Wesco Nov. 9.
Issaquah’s Suh last left in tennis field Issaquah’s Jack Suh, playing in the 4A singles bracket, was the last remaining local player in the boys tennis conference tournaments and still alive for a spot in the state tournament May 30 and 31 in Richland. Suh was set to meet a player from Garfield in the secondplace match, with an automatic state spot on the line, and even with a loss had one more opportunity against the 4A Wesco third place finisher for the district’s final berth.

Skyline, Issaquah meet with Crown title at stake tonight

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
After a 51-26 loss to O’Dea in the third week of the season that left his team emotionally drained and physically dented, Issaquah football coach Chris Bennett knew the most important thing was them focused on the big picture. Despite suffering a pair of losses over the first three weeks, and with its only win coming over lowly 3A foe Interlake, Bennett knew the entire conference slate remained and along with it, plenty of opportunities to rinse the sour taste and make another run at the playoffs. “We weren’t far away, we just had to keep getting better every week,” he said. “The biggest thing was to keep them positive. They all bought in and believed and now we’re here where we want to be, with a chance to play for the division title.” When co-division leader Skyline travels down the hill tonight for a 7 p.m. kickoff at Issaquah High School, the Eagles get their biggest opportunity yet. Both teams enter the game with flawless 4A KingCo Crown records and the winner earns an automatic berth to the round of 32 and spot in the conference title game next week and both have had success on the postseason stage during the past decade. But as far as the rivalry between the two district foes and the ultimate measure of elite status, state titles, the results have been one-sided. The Spartans are the defending KingCo champs and have taken two of the past three conference titles. Issaquah has never captured the division championship or played in the title game as a member of 4A KingCo. Skyline owns seven state titles since 2000, including the past two. Issaquah, despite opening two decades before its Plateau neighbor, has been to only a pair of championship games and has never brought home a first place trophy from the Tacoma Dome. Even more frustrating is a losing streak for the Eagles

that dates to 2006 and has had the habit of rearing its ugly head at the most inconvenient times. The most gut-wrenching defeat came in the 2008 4A state title game, where Skyline beat its district rival for the second time on the year after overcoming a late lead, 20-15 to deny the Eagles the program’s first state championship while collecting their fourth in the process. Skyline has done nothing but blow away foes and collect three more titles since, also finishing second in 2010 after a 24-16 loss to Ferris. But even with a pedigree that has carried it to a place among the state’s elite, Spartans’ head coach Mat Taylor said the intensity for this rivalry has never waned. “The most important game is when you play your rivals,” he said, adding he remembered watching this year’s senior classes match up on their respective freshmen teams three years ago, a narrow Skyline win. “They know the importance of this rivalry and not to take anything for granted.” The Spartans entered 2013 winners as the two time defending kings of the 4A mountain, while Issaquah bowedout in the play-in round each of the past two seasons. The last time the Eagles made a state tournament run, it was none other than Skyline there to end their season in a 42-21 quarterfinal game in 2010, another game in which Issaquah had a halftime lead. None of that is lost on Bennett, who enters the game with a 0-7 against the team from up the hill in his five seasons as head coach, or his seniors, which have beaten Skyline in junior varsity football but not under the Friday night lights. “I feel like we’ve been the little brother to Skyline,” Issaquah senior captain Shay Dingfelder said. “Obviously, it would be a program changing win.” Both coaches said the opposition has taken on a slightly different identity than in past years, with Issaquah quarterback Jack Neary and a stable of receivers opening up the passing game more for the Eagles and dual-threat signal caller Kilton Anderson giving the Spartans an option in the
run game they did not have under previous pocket passers Max Browne and Jake Heaps. “The quarterback is super athletic,” Bennett said. “He makes so many plays and that is the first thing we have to stop.” Taylor said the Eagles present a number of challenges with Neary, whom he called “a tremendous quarterback,” along with running back Jack Gellatly and a host of receivers Bennett has repeatedly lauded as his deepest group ever. On the other side of the ball, Anderson and the running game have taken a far more prominent role than recent Skyline offenses. The senior transfer has thrown seven touchdowns on the year and rushed for 10 more, while running backs Chandler Wong and Rashaad Boddie have combined for more than 600 yards and 11 more scores on the ground. Both have already secured playoff spots regardless of tonight’s result, and each will have a chance to upend a Crest Division foe to begin the postseason. But with local bragging rights, a spot in the KingCo title game and round of 32 on the line, neither is understating the momentum the winner will carry along. “It is another game, but it isn’t,” Bennett said. “We just have to stay focused.”

Eastlake (5-2, 2-1) @ Redmond (5-2, 1-2), 7 p.m. Friday The Spartans may be closer in proximity, but Eastlake has always held Redmond as its fiercest rival and the two open the latest installment on the gridiron with plenty at stake. Coach Don Bartel’s Wolves thrashed 3A Meadowdale last week, 48-27 in the Homecoming game, to pick up its third straight win with its most prolific scoring performance to date. Redmond lost a heartbreaker to Woodinville last Thursday in a televised game that saw the Falcons complete the game-winning pass in the waning moments to leave Pop Kenney with a 23-20 win.
Eastside Catholic was unable to make it two straight over the rival Irish, falling 63-45 at home. The Crusaders welcome in Blanchet this week for the regular season finale and the Braves enter the game with only a single conference loss on the year, 35-0 to O’Dea. While a spot in the conference title game was lost last week, the playoff hopes of the Crusaders are still very much in play and a win would give them the second seed to the Metro League crossover round, where a berth in the round of 32 will be up for grabs.

Microsoft sells Highlands parcel for $54 million BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Documents recorded in King County on Oct. 18 reveal that the Issaquah Highlands Investment Fund, which is in the same office as Polygon Northwest in Bellevue, paid $54 million for the two parcels Microsoft owned in the Issaquah
Highlands. The total of the two parcels is 63-acres. The property is near Swedish Hospital, which has a development agreement in the works now to build an office building for doctors. Polygon Northwest had “no comment” as to its plans for the property. Derek Straight, a Polygon executive, is the registered agent for the Issaquah Highlands
Investment Fund. In July, Microsoft announced it would not be renewing its lease at the building Vulcan Properties owns at 21930 S.E. 51st St. in Issaquah. The building is part of Sammamish Park Place where Microsoft has a large presence. Microsoft employees also occupy two more buildings Vulcan owns in Sammamish Park Place, both with leases end-
ing in the next couple of years. Representatives for Microsoft did not return calls to The Reporter. Issaquah mayor Ava Frisinger said Polygon hopes to break ground within a year on a mixed-use project. Bellevue College is also in talks with the city to build a campus in the Highlands. Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363.

Fitzgerald joins Evergreen Health

Fitzgerald, formerly the senior member of the Kirkland-based law firm of Livengood, Fitzgerald and Alskog, has a long-standing history of working with Evergreen Health. He has served as Evergreen Health’s outside district general counsel since 2001 and has worked on hospital matters since 1978. Evergreen Health’s hospital district includes the area of Sammamish. Fitzgerald is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association, the Washington State Society of Healthcare Attorneys, the Health Care Law Section of the American Bar Association, the Washington and Oregon State Bar Associations and several other legal associations.

Boeing has honored Sammamish resident Ian Willson with the company’s annual Special Invention Award, which highlight the best of the company’s innovation. The award is given each year to individuals and teams who are inspired to create inventions that prove most valuable to Boeing and to the future of aerospace. This year, 16 such inventions were recognized, most of which have been granted or are awaiting U.S. patents. Willson, 50, is receiving the award for inventing systems to capture and organize massive amounts of
data for a multitude of uses in Boeing’s engineering and business operations. “It is quite an honor to receive an invention award for Information Technology,” Willson said. “Innovation is at the center of my work everyday. The greatest benefit comes from seeing your invention used successfully, often in ways you did not initially anticipate, and in some case long after you first conceived of it.” Willson, who has been with Boeing for 14 years, earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Toronto in 1987, a doctorate in
marketing and artificial intelligence from the University of Toronto in 1991, and held the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Postdoctoral Fellowship resident at the University of Toronto from 1991-1993. Before coming to Boeing, Willson created the first consumer air travel booking software, as well as Travel$ense, the industry standard for business travel analytics. “Every day, our people strive to unveil the next breakthroughs that will strengthen our 97-year-old legacy of technical excel-
Willson lence and engineering achievement,” said John Tracy, Boeing’s chief technology officer and senior vice president of the company’s Engineering, Operations and Technology division. “Innovators like Ian have achieved a level of technical mastery that’s led to business success and that stands out from a peer group of outstanding, technically excellent, and resourceful professionals.”

School Board candidate says misunderstanding led to missed deadline for filing campaign expense report BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Issaquah School Board candidate Lisa Callan said she and her campaign treasurer, Alisa George, misunderstood when an expense report for her campaign was due to the Public Disclosure Commission. Janet Suppe, a budget analyst with the Bellevue School District, filed the complaint with the commission in September. Callan is seeking the only open seat on the Issaquah School Board, facing Alison Meryweather, who was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Chad Magendanz earlier this year. A first time candidate, Callan said once she was aware of the oversight, she filed the expense report right away. Suppe said her complaint was made as a private citizen, and had nothing to do with her job with the Bellevue district. She said she saw several of Callan’s signs,
so she decided to “check out” her campaign. “I am interested in good education policy and good government,” Suppe said. “I was just curious who was donating to her campaign.” Suppe said Callan Lisa Callan missed three deadlines. She said the PDC web site is easy to maneuver. “You’ve got a first time candidate and first time treasurer,” said George, an attorney. “There’s two different tracks for candidates – primary and general. The PDC instructions are confusing. From the very beginning Lisa was planning to file all the expenses.” George said they had everything together to file Oct. 15, only to find out they were supposed to file Sept. 10. Right after they realized they missed the Sept. 10 deadline to file expenses they caught

assessed property value and 25 percent on call volume. Council member Paul Winterstein said the 75/25 formula may be the perfect solution, but he doesn’t know. Council member Eileen Barber echoed his thoughts that she didn’t want to rush a decision — that the council needs to take its time and look at what they are doing. Tyron said District 10 made the resolution for the 75/25 concept to take some of the pressure off of Issaquah.
Clothing Bank raised $75,406. Over 300 people attended. The event was held at Eastridge Church. The bank serves residents in Issaquah, Sammamish, Renton, Preston, Newcastle and Bellevue. The clothing bank, one of the few in the region, serves an even larger population. Funds raised at the “Recipe for Hope” breakfast will support current efforts to provide healthy food options to clients, build services and programs that enrich lives such as the summer lunch program, tools for schools, fruit tree gleaning and financial literacy program, and fund future expansion to better serve the community.

up on Oct. 10. “If I was running for office, I would have someone explain the site to me. The PDC rules are out there for a reason,” Suppe said. George said she has no idea why Suppe would file the complaint since she is with the Bellevue School District. “We totally believe in the Public Disclosure process,” George said. “Lisa always intended to be transparent.” George said the campaign has filed contribution reports weekly. “It’s a very technical process, but it’s the right thing,” she said. Callan’s campaign committee, “Friends of Lisa Callan,” has received $9,386.54 in cash and in-kind contributions as of Oct. 14. Callan started the account with $500 of her own money and has raised $8,999.88 in cash. Her expenses have been $8,403.25 through Oct. 14.

“The city of Issaquah realizes the funding model has challenges for them, too,” Tyron said. “But they don’t want to make a knee-jerk decision.” Councilman Fred Butler, who is on the EFR board of directors, as is Barber, said he believes Sammamish has drawn a line in the sand, and by not acting to adopt a resolution it would send the wrong message to Sammamish, which is close to leaving the partnership. Nonetheless, the council tabled the motion and agreed to continue the discussion at the Nov. 12 meeting of the committee of the whole. The partnership agreement between members of EFR expires at the end of 2014. Any agency that wants to leave
must give notice by the end of this year. “There’s a lot of moving pieces here,” Tyron said. “Everyone is saving money now with this partnership rather than owning their own fire department.” North Bend, one of the EFR partners, met Tuesday night and made two separate motions. One was to add a one year extension to the inter-local agreement, and to support the EFR board proposal to extend the partnership for one year, to provide additional time for partners to commit to EFR. This would push the expiration of the inter-local agreement to December 31, 2015. District 10 is in favor of extending the inter-local agreement to the end of 2015. The North Bend council also made a

One student’s passion for sloth rehab inspires picture book DNASH@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Did you know Oct. 19 was International Sloth Day? Sharanya Sarathy did. The Lakeside High School senior and Medina resident was on hand at the Woodland Park Zoo’s sloth exhibit on Saturday to inform visitors of the characteristics of the mammals. Sarathy also informed guests of environmental educator Monique Pool’s efforts to rescue and rehabilitate sloths at her home in the Republic of Suriname. She has volunteered with the zoo for four years. “I got into it through my school, but I’ve always been into animals and conservation,” Sarathy said. “If I had to pinpoint (when I became interested in conservation), even when I was very little I liked to watch Animal Planet and nature documentaries because I lived in Issaquah near Cougar Mountain.” Her home was wildlife country and she was fascinated by the deer, coyotes and other animals in her own backyard. Sarathy learned about Pool after she made headlines for rescuing 200 sloths on private land being prepared for clearing. Pool converted her home into a sanctuary – the Green Heritage Fund Suriname – for the two- and three-
toed creatures, which would become endangered when their habitats were deforested or were adopted as pets to unprepared owners. In August, Sarathy took an opportunity to assist Pool at her sanctuary for 20 days, caring for seven sloths and preparing them to return to the wild. “A big part of it was feeding them and making sure they drink water,” she said. “(When they were mishandled pets, it) was not done malevolently. People just don’t know how to care for them. You have to feed them the right stuff.” Sarathy worked frequently with a baby sloth named Lucas. Lucas was one of the group of 200 rescued by Pool, and had lost his mother. Sarathy decided to commemorate Lucas and inform the public about the lives of sloths in an illustrated book, “Pool House Sloths.” The book, available electronically and in paperback on Amazon, told Lucas’ story from his perspective, while weaving in facts about the creatures. Sarathy said she plans to continue her work with animals after high school. “Hopefully in college, there will be more … opportunities to apply what I’ve learned,” she said.
