SAMMAMISH RESIDENTS MAKE THEIR VOICES LOUD AND CLEAR Overwhelmingly want to stay in EFR

If the situation surrounding Eastside Fire and Rescue possibly being dropped by Sammamish could get any murkier, it has. The website saveourfiredept.org announced that the Eastside Fire Fighters have hired a Seattle attorney, SaNni M-K Lemonidis. A letter from her office was sent to Sammamish Mayor Tom Odell and the Sammamish City Council alleging they have violated Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act. Lemonidis wrote, “It appears the city council and technical advisory board have openly discussed fire service issues with a majority of the council using the email system. In addition, TAB has been meeting secretly to discuss City of Sammamish business related to the city’s fire service. These meetings should have been open to the public and subject to public comment requirements.” Lemonidis continues stating that the Eastside Fire Fighters are considering legal action. Standing up to speak against the Sammamish City Council last night, Lieutenant Dean deAlteriis of EFR said that if the allegations against the Sammamish City Council are in fact true, they have not only broken the law but they have lost the trust of the community. “You haven’t been seeking public input,” he said. “And I have a feeling this council will vote to make their own fire department despite it not being in the best interest of those you represent.” DeAlteriis said that everyone involved deserves better.
“We are here tonight to say it’s not okay,” he said. If the any of the partners in Eastside Fire and Rescue decide to go out on their own, it would cost them more money to open independent departments said Deputy Chief, Greg Tyron. The partners in EFR are Issaquah, Sammamish, District 10 (areas of unincorporated King County including Klahanie), North Bend and District 38, which includes areas of unincorporated King County around North Bend and Snoqualmie. EFR has nine stations staffed 24/7 spread out over 200 square miles. According to Tyron, it costs roughly $2.2 million annually to run each station Each station’s response area is that which is geographically closest to the station. Station 83 in Sammamish, also known as the Klahanie station, pays 60 percent of the $2.2 million because that is the percentage of assessed property in its response area. Sammamish claims to be the only partner in EFR that pays based solely on assessed property value, but Tyron says they all pay based on assessed valuation. What makes Sammamish different in relationship to station 83 is the call volume doesn’t match the assessed valuation funding model, because 50 percent of the calls made to station 83 are dispatched to Issaquah addresses such as Providence Point. “It’s the only station that doesn’t follow the assessed value/call volume model,” Tyron said. “It’s not unreasonable for Sammamish to question the funding model.” Fire districts outside of EFR typically spend $2.4 to $2.9 million to operate a station on an annual basis, but Tyron said being in EFR results in a 10 to 20 percent savings. Sammamish isn’t the only partner that has issues with EFR’s funding model. Issaquah has its own decisions to make. Station 78, which is 1/2 mile from Renton on SR 900, is
“You don’t cheap on safety.” -Sammamish resident speaking about staying in Eastside Fire and Rescue going to be relocated closer to Issaquah. As Renton has annexed, and moved further east, station 78 no longer pays for itself. The new station, which will be closer to Issaquah, scheduled to open in Sept. 2014, will add costs for Issaquah because more of Issaquah’s assessed valuation will be paying for it rather than District 10. Tyron said Issaquah pays about $5.3 million for its three stations now, but it would cost $6.6 to $7.2 million for Issaquah to have its own department. “If Issaquah and Sammamish can agree to 20plus years of working together we believe we can save this community tens of millions of dollars, but the two communities have to agree on a response model by moving stations over the long-term to better balance them out,” Tyron said. “But they must agree on a long-term joint operating vision.” If Sammamish pulls out of EFR one thing is for certain. Jobs will be lost – 36 fire fighters and up to five staff will be laid off. And Sammamish residents have made it clear that is not what they want. At the special study session in Sammamish Tuesday night, emotions were high as more than 100 SEE EFR, 6
t’s been well documented that the Issaquah Skate Park isn’t used for skating so much as it is for a place where drug deals go down, but the adjacent Rainier Trail, with small sheltered trails off the main, paved trail, has seen its share of trouble. At an Issaquah City Council meeting in September, several residents expressed their concern. Many are not comfortable walking the trail anymore. Christina Burney moved to old town Issaquah in 1991. She is one of the city’s walking ambassadors, and is concerned about the trail. “No action is a disservice to our community,” Burney said. She said getting rid of the skate park isn’t going to solve the problem. She’s seen drug deals go down on the trail. She said she has smelled funny odors, even fire, close to her home. “If I called IPD every time, I may as well have an open line,” she said. Judy Lally and Robert Clement who live nearby, helped with the spring clean-up along the trail this year. The litter they picked up included bits of aluminum foil, and coke cans with straws in the side — more than likely improvised drug paraphernalia. Walking the trail on a bright autumn day before school is out, it doesn’t look too terribly sketchy. Lally and Clement said the action ramps up when school is out, since the trail is right in the middle of Issaquah High School and Issaquah Middle School properties. Older kids hang out in the parking lot adjacent to the community center, possibly waiting for school kids to come to the trail. The city recently cut down a SEE RAINIER, 6

Gov. Inslee sets Apple Cup deadline for transportation plan BY BRANDON MACZ BMACZ@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
Before an Apple Cup champion emerges, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said he wants to see an approved transportation bill on his desk crafted through a bipartisan effort and identifying $10 billion in revenue sources needed to keep the state’s roads and bridges from failing. “November is the month for action here,” Inslee told a room full of Sound Publishing editors and reporters on Friday, Oct. 25. “Actually, April and May were the months.” The governor said he is disappointed the Senate was unable to come up with a transportation bill after six months while the House passed its legislation. Senate Republicans opted not to approve the House bill in favor of launching a listening tour in Washington to find ways to find savings through reforms before pushing for tax increases. Inslee said there is a need for reform, which is already occurring within the Washington State Department of Transportation with the appointment of Lynn Peterson as head of the agency, as well as making improvements to permitting processes, cutting fat from projects, streamlining maintenance and leaner management of the transportation department. Peterson also attended the Sound Publishing meeting. What the state doesn’t need, said the governor, is to channel sales tax revenue from the general fund to the transportation
fund, as has been proposed by Republican lawmakers, or removing sales tax from transportation projects entirely. That would mean stripping more money from education, Inslee said, which is a step backward in fulfilling the Washington Supreme Court’s ruling the state needs to invest $3-4 billion more into education. “The first order of business is, don’t dig the hole any deeper, another $400 million deeper like some have suggested,” Inslee said. “There are people in one of the caucuses who suggested that let’s just dig that hole another $400 million deeper and take that money from the general fund that’s generated by sales tax from construction projects and move that money into the transportation fund. It’s a scientific principle, once you are in the hole, stop digging.” While the governor said there are various avenues for approving a transportation plan and closing its funding gap, he doesn’t want to prejudge how the House and Senate will reach its final destination. Closing tax loopholes would be one method of cost savings that could alleviate some of the burden for Washington residents, said Inslee, using as an example a tax exemption approved for the timber industry that oil and gas companies also are utilizing. The governor painted a bleak picture for the state should a transportation plan not be approved before the Apple Cup, which occurs on Black Friday next month. In King County, public transportation would be affected first. “The first thing that’s going to hit them
Inslee in Sound Publishing’s Bellevue office. CRAIG GROSHART, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter between the eyes,” said Inslee, “is the elimination of bus service, and that has an economic toll on our state. It makes it more frustrating to get to work in the morning, but it also takes an economic toll on our state. That means companies don’t move here because congestion increases. It means that workers are stuck in traffic, so they show up to work later because they used to be able to take a reliable bus to work. Now, they’re waiting in their car sitting in a traffic jam waiting to get to Microsoft. It takes economic productivity out of the state.” Inslee said he understands the frustration of King County residents facing potential tolling of the I-90 bridge between I-5 in Seattle and I-405 in Bellevue to make up the $1.4 billion shortfall for completion of the State Route 520 bridge project. He added the collapse of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River earlier this year highlights the importance of proper maintenance.

Tolling I-90 is not a certainty, and there are several options being considered, including 11 alternatives that would mitigate the impact to Mercer Islanders. Increasing the state gas tax is also a possibility. Inslee said he encourages Mercer Island residents to contact their state representatives. “They need to talk to their legislators now about this issue,” he said. “And here’s the reason: The more they convince legislators to find a solution that is not tolling, the better off they are. The more they convince their legislators to raise the $1.4 billion for 520 in some other way, which might mean a gas tax, it might mean licensing fees, whatever their other solution is, the less pressure there will be on tolling.” Brandon Macz is a staff writer at the Bellevue Reporter.

PAY IT FORWARD Neighborly kindness leaves an impression
Do you remember watching “Pay it Forward?” If you are like me, that one little line has stuck in the back of my mind ever since. Well, two months ago I encountered a real live “Pay it Forward” moment in Sammamish. One afternoon I was filling up the tank of my huge Tahoe and when the gas gauge finally stopped at $98. I thought to myself “sheesh, I need to get small car!” (I know many of you plateau moms can relate). So when my neighbor asked me if I knew anyone that wanted to buy his 1987 Honda Accord for $1,000 I said, yes. Despite the 295,000 miles it had on it, I bought it. Don’t Hondas last forever? For two weeks I zipped around Sammamish fitting perfectly into any parking spot, grinning at the gas pump when not one penny more than $38 would fit in the tank. I didn’t even pay my son any mind when I pulled up to Eastlake High School in my pride and joy and my son opened the car door and said “Mom, I just can’t be seen in this car, I will get a ride home” and slammed the door. Kids. I loved my car, until I was driving to work and my gas efficient dream car sputtered up to the stop sign of Northeast 25th Way and Northeast 228th in Sammamish, my very own neighborhood. No! This is not happening! Kaput. It pooped out. I tried and tried to start it but I just kept getting that “rear, rear, rear sound” hoping it would turn over, but nothing was happening. I was doomed on an incline. It was 8:15 a.m. and pouring down rain so of course everyone was less than understanding that I was stopped at the intersection looking like I was going to turn any moment. Light after light changed. After many honks and a few birdies, two Sammamish walking “angels” asked me if I needed any help. At first I said, “No, it’s raining! I’ll figure something out,” but they were not having it.

LETTERS Umbrellas are different from guns This article (In the Cross Hairs, 10-25) really made me question just what kind of education kids are getting that they can’t tell umbrellas from guns - but really who should have to. What is worse, is that kids don’t know the staff at the school they work with - shouldn’t they? I suppose the real cause is the overall climate of fear that we live in these days. This is a sad story that could have turned out tragically sad. Did the school learn anything from this? Bryan Weinstein, Issaquah
Where is the antiannexation group? Regarding Michael Foss’s letter last week: I’m not sure what impediment to a vote Mr. Foss is imagining – unless, of course Issaquah concedes that Sammamish is really a better fit for the Klahanie PAA, which I would support. Apparently, there is an antiannexation group out there. Who
?
Question of the week:
“Have you been a victim of credit card skimming or other financial fraud?”
would that be? None of them testified at the Boundary Review Board or City Council Meetings in the last few months; and I don’t think I’ve seen any letters to the editor from someone wanting to stay with King County. Do those asking for an annexation choice between Issaquah and Sammamish confuse him? Sammamish measures up pretty nicely compared to Issaquah, and we should have a democratic choice between cities. Annexation is forever. He said Sammamish did nothing to annex us for the last eight years. Neither did Issaquah. In fact, eight years ago when Klahanie voted 67 percent to be annexed by Issaquah, they rejected us, and then held us hostage by not releasing the PAA. Issaquah is tens of millions of dollars in debt, and plans to continue increasing their debt. Sammamish has no debt at all, but a surplus instead. Out of those two options, who do you think “needs” us and our tax revenue most? Both cities offer lower taxes overall. Mr. Foss asserts that Issaquah’s property taxes come with better services. With Issaquah, Klahanie would see continued inadequate police coverage; Issaquah-Fall City road would

remain unimproved; and fire/medical response times may get longer. Sammamish is already here serving Klahanie. Their officers are often the first to arrive to calls. With Sammamish, service by fire station 83 is essentially guaranteed. Sammamish stands ready to improve Issaquah-Fall City Road. The people should be allowed to make the decision on annexation with a vote. Let’s also give them the choice they deserve. Mark Seely, Klahanie
What is Butler’s commitment to Klahanie? On Oct. 18, a letter-writer endorsed Fred Butler for Issaquah mayor due to his support for parks and open space. I have to wonder what kind of park commitment Mr. Butler is willing to make to Klahanie. If Klahanie joins Issaquah, we’ll increase their population by over 30 percent, but park spending (according to Issaquah’s own study) will only increase by 3.3 percent What kind of deal is that?

History is on I-522’s side
We’re learning this week where Washington’s first charter schools may open in 2014 and who may operate them. This much is certain: No one wants to do it in Snohomish County. Nonprofit organizations had until Tuesday to let the Washington Charter School Commission know if they intend to apply to run one of these publicly funded campuses. Full applications are due in a month. Of the nearly two dozen letters of intent received, none proposed pursuing this new venture in education in the state’s third largest county. Rather, there’s interest in converting a small private school in Spokane Valley and launching a Jerry Cornfield military academy for middle- and high-school-aged students in Grays Harbor, Mason and Thurston counties. In Yakima, there’s one group designing a dual language — English and Spanish — elementary school and another proposing a campus with a curriculum focused on preparing at-risk high-schoolers for college. There also are people wanting charter schools in Enumclaw, Toppenish and Sunnyside. Professional charter school management outfits want in as well with firms looking to bring their brand of educating to elementary and secondary students in Seattle and Tacoma starting in 2015. The applications due Nov. 22 must detail the proposed curriculum, budget, and staffing as well as provide background on those who will serve on the school’s board of directors. Commissioners won’t green light any charter schools until February but it’s clear today that Snohomish County won’t be home for any of them. What a difference $14.3 million can make.
THE PETRI DISH Foes of Initiative 522 have spent that much so far attacking the food labeling initiative and it is paying off. The latest Elway Poll found the measure has lost nearly one-third of its support in the past month. That is when the No on 522 committee began airing television commercials and mailing out literature on the purported warts of the measure requiring labels on foods containing genetically modified ingredients. I-522 is leading 46 percent to 42 percent with 12 percent undecided in the survey of 413 registered voters conducted Oct. 15-17 by Seattle pollster Stuart Elway. That’s a big tumble from mid-September when Elway found 66 percent of voters endorsed the initiative and only 21 percent opposed. Not surprisingly, advertising is changing people’s minds. Three out of four voters who had seen only ads for one side or the other planned to vote in the direction of the ads they have seen, he wrote in an analysis of the results. “Those who have seen no advertising planned to vote ‘yes’ by a 17-point margin — about the same margin the ‘yes’ side had before the advertising blitz began,” Elway wrote. For the Yes on 522 committee — which has spent $5.4 million — the silver lining is that the measure is still ahead. And Elway says history favors them winning, too. Since 1992, 17 of 22 initiatives which had support above 60 percent in Elway polls conducted in September wound up winning. “Momentum is on the side of I-522 opponents, but history is on the side of proponents,” he wrote.

would like to do $381,000 in park improvements, but doesn’t identify a funding source other than even more city debt. Given that Providence Point residents were assured a traffic signal when they voted for annexation in ’02, and their signal is listed in the “Beyond 2019” section of the most recent Capital Facilities Plan, city assurances to Klahanie may not have a time frame attached. It is no wonder that the first justification given for Issaquah’s annexation of Klahanie by Mr. Butler and his opponent for the mayor’s job, Joe Forkner, is to increase Issaquah’s tax base. We have to be concerned about where the increased tax revenue from Klahanie will be going. Yes, we might see a better return of our tax money than we are now getting from the county, but everything we hear from Sammamish appears even better, along with gaining one of the premier residential addresses in the whole country. Kirsten O’Malley, Klahanie
Pro I-522 people care about their food We’ve been bombarded with information about Initiative 522, whether or not to label genetically engineered foods. It’s confusing since so many of the “facts” that are claimed in the flyers, ads and editorials seem to be contradictory. It’s impossible to figure out who’s telling the truth. However, there’s one fact which is indisputable - the “Yes” campaign is largely funded by individuals who care about their food, whereas the “No” campaign is largely funded by out-of-state businesses who have much to lose if labeling goes ahead; companies such as Monsanto (which just put another $500K into the campaign) and the Grocery Manufacturers of America (which was recently prosecuted for hiding the names of the many big food companies which contributed to this campaign). I ask you to consider which you trust more - many thousands of Washingtonians or out-of-state large corporations. Don’t worry about the so-called facts.

RAINIER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 large tree and cleared out brush which provided a good hiding place, but the trouble hasn’t ended. Remnants of a very recent bonfire are close to a footbridge that leads to the Windsong Apartments at 600 Front St. “They make fires to keep warm,” Clement said. “It’s just unnerving.” Management at Windsong is unhappy with the situation. “Windsong Apartments has experienced an increase in loitering, vandalism, and public intoxication in the recent few months and have felt it necessary to increase our courtesy patrol presence in response to this activity,” said spokesman Gregory Cerbana. “With our property being adjacent to the Rainier Trail, we’ve witnessed much of that traffic entering our community from that direction. The drug paraphernalia that’s been left behind is a real concern to us because of the number of residents that live in our apartments, and access the trail for legitimate recreational purposes. Neighboring properties that we communicate with on a regular basis have also reported
seeing an increase in these sorts of episodes. We’ve worked closely with local law enforcement when necessary, and several arrests have resulted from their presence”. IPD is well aware of the problems, and has increased its presence. IPD Chief Paul Ayers said they have put some extra manpower near the trail. “This is not a new thing, but the calls were spiking up,” he said. “It’s a tough one to measure but I think the resources we’re putting in are helping.” The problems are all south of the Issaquah Community Center where it’s very wooded and sheltered. Jeff Tanka, a 23-year resident of old town Issaquah said unsavory element of all ages trespass, litter and are responsible for car prowls nearby. He said walkers have seen homeless camps on the trail and blatant drug use. A mother running on the trail was harassed. Families with small children are afraid to use the trail. However, both Lally and Clement said it seems to be getting a little better since the council meeting when so many residents spoke of their frustration with the problems.

It’s time at get serious about bullying Parenting Lifeline
BY PATTI SKELTONMCGOUGAN SPECIAL TO THE ISSAQUAH REPORTER
On Sept. 12, another young child committed suicide after being bullied. She was a 12-year-old girl who had a falling out with her friends over a boy one year ago. The bullying was so difficult she changed schools, but the cyberbullying continued to torment her until she took her life. In August, a Connecticut boy shot himself with the family gun after the first day of his sophomore year. He had been bullied because of his small size. And just last spring, a young girl in our area killed herself after being bullied in person and online. Bullying is not simply “kids being kids.” Psychiatric Times cites bullying as a major public health problem with devastating consequences. Today, when drama happens at school it passes seamlessly from the lunchroom to the chat room, and before long it seems everyone in a social circle knows about it. Kids can’t leave bullying behind at the playground anymore because it follows them home in social media, texting and/or phone apps. According to the most recent Healthy Youth Survey given to sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grade students, 24 percent of local students reported being bullied in the past 30 days. That’s a lot of kids being hurt and a lot of kids doing the bullying. Bullying tends to peak in middle school years, but can happen anytime, and it’s slightly more common among girls.
Victims, bullies and bystanders get hurt Victims of bullying are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, today and as adults. Kids who are struggling with bullying may have changes in sleep and eating patterns, and a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. Bullied kids also have more health complaints and lower academic achievement. Researchers estimate that on any given day, 160,000 children miss school because they’re afraid of being bullied. Those who are bullied also may retaliate, sometimes through violence. In fact, a study of school shootings in the 1990s found that 80 percent of the shooters had a history of being bullied. But it’s not just the victims of bullying who are being hurt. Studies published earlier this year in JAMA Psychiatry found that those who bully were more likely to abuse substances as a teen or adult, have anti-social behavior and be involved in criminal activity as an adult. Even bystanders can suffer with increased mental health problems.
School news
and phone use, but it’s most important to be responsive to your child; encourage your son or daughter to tell you when another child is being hurtful, either physically or emotionally. Let your child know that you are there to help. Dismissive statements like, “It’s no big deal‚“ will discourage your child from talking to you, since bullying is a very big deal to a child. And kids who don’t have support at home for problems like bullying are at increased risk for suicide. It is just as important to talk to your kids about not bullying others, and the devastation it can cause. Don’t tolerate name calling or your child putting down another child. And let your child know that being a bully has negative long-term consequences. Finally, help your child know what to do if he or she witnesses bullying or hears someone talk about suicide. Make sure that your child can name an adult that could be approached for help. Patti Skelton-McGougan is executive director of Youth Eastside Services.

Creekside holding shoe drive Fifth graders at Creekside Elementary School in Sammamish are holding a used shoe drive through Nov. 1. Proceeds will help others, promote awareness for repurposing used goods, and raise money to offset the cost of fifth grade camp. The fifth graders hope to collect 17,500 pairs of gently worn shoes. Each spring, the school’s fifth graders attend a three-day camp. People can drop off shoes at the school, 20777 S.E. 16th St. All in For Kids Mayor Ava Frisinger said, “For over 25 years, the Issaquah Schools Foundation has strengthened the educational offerings and support provided to students in our community. Where state funding has been less than adequate, the Issaquah Schools Foundation has stepped up to fill gaps in technology, music and arts education or to provide tutoring through the VOICE program. They’ve provided specialties, including forensic science classes and robotics club, which could not be offered without ISF funding. They’ve provided school supplies and materials to children whose families can’t afford to do so. Every school and every student in the Issaquah School District has benefited. “The Foundation is currently running the All In for Kids campaign, a quick and painless way to participate in this great organization. “A student volunteer may call you and ask for a gift of any size to help the Foundation meet its next strategic goal. Please answer the call. The Issaquah School District remains one of the most under-funded districts in the state of Washington yet continuously lands at the top of state achievement rankings. This is testament to our community’s dedication to educational excellence. One remarkable way we express that dedication is through the Issaquah Schools Foundation.”
Talk with your kids Schools are trying to respond to bullying with education and awareness programs. But it’s hard to manage when so much bullying is via electronic communications and away from school. Parents can monitor social media

REPORTER Q/A | Issaquah School Board Candidates Callan and Meryweather
1
What actions do you plan to take to ensure that the new CORE standards are met? Callan: The school board’s job is to ensure the work is being done to implement ComCallan mon Core to the best of our abilities. The district needs to be sure teachers are fully trained, and support is available during and after the transition. We need to make sure the assessments match the curriculum, and student growth measurements are identiMeryweather fied and consistent for teachers to use. The transition to the new assessments and measurement methods will require a re-calibration of student, teacher, and parent expectations as new baselines are established. We need to hear from the teachers and the staff during the transition so support can be rallied around any unexpected and unintended issues. Meryweather: Ensure the community is well informed, listen to concerns and make sure that the District has the appropriate resources to adequately train the teachers and align the curriculum to the new standards and testing protocols.
2
There are many students who simply fall through the cracks for whatever reason; a bad home life, drugs or abuse. What will you do to make certain these kids get the help they need? Callan: I believe we should add additional social and emotional health support at a level that allows each building to connect with students as they are identified. Developing a support plan which follows kids in need through their K-12 journey, and identifying them as early as possible allowing support to build and continue as these students face their most difficult challenges in their teen years. I think partnering with the community is crucial so the support doesn’t end when the bell rings. I also feel strongly that we need to offer more choices and alternatives to the standard high school pathway. If we can find a way for struggling kids to succeed in one area, it gives them more desire to work through the rest, with support. Meryweather: The social emotional health of our students is a top priority. While there already are many supports in place, we need to expand the timely access to counselors within the building. I have proposed a board committee to collaborate with community organizations to address the numerous concerns from the Healthy Youth Survey data.
3
You have both mentioned partnering with businesses to get internships or job shadowing opportunities for students. How will you approach this endeavor? Callan: I want to ensure all elements
of the community (business, community organizations, service organizations, the district, teachers, parents and students) have a voice in this dialogue. We can create meaningful, experiential learning opportunities for our kids by identifying what programs our kids need, and then putting out a specific call for action to the business community. ISF and the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce offer a great start. We can do more with local businesses and fabrication shops. I also think we can expand our partnerships with the Eastside business leadership community, county extension programs, as well the health, arts, and sports industries. Meryweather: The board should have more frequent contact and dialogue with the local employers to assess our educational alignment with meeting the needs of future skills. As a member of the Chamber of Commerce I would like to expand the relationship between the school board and their education committee, partnering on such projects as the job skills fair, mentors and internships.
4
School boards spend a great deal of time monitoring policies. Why not channel more of that energy into education and cut through the rhetoric? Callan: The system of governance and policies for the school district is the foundation upon which everything else is based. The strength of that foundation has a direct impact on the district’s ability to execute effectively and in a fiscally responsible way, providing every opportunity for every child to succeed.
Meryweather: Our board is one of 12 in the state that use the Policy Governance Model, while the monitoring of the Executive Limitations, ends, etc., may seem tedious to the public it is how the board conducts its due diligence to ensure the district is making reasonable progress towards our educational goals and in compliance with state requirements.
5
So much emphasis has been put on STEM, robotics and other technical programs, but the arts are extremely important for the whole child. Will you support and promote the arts in schools — theater, music and the visual arts? Callan: Absolutely, art is defined as part of basic education for a reason. Sensory learning and thinking skills, connecting with the physical world and learning to create is part of how a student learns to connect with the world. The arts in all forms create opportunities for sensory learning. For example, when I brought the Seattle Junior League’s Art of Discovery program to Grand Ridge Elementary the focus was on teaching visual thinking skills, finding ways to understand and express what one feels, through experiencing museum artwork. Meryweather: My priority is “STEAM”Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math, as the Arts are a core subject. I have been actively advocating for the arts for over a decade, from creating art enrichment opportunities to funding for ISF’s Dedicated Fine Arts Fund and will continue to do so on the board.
Food Lifeline – Brings Hope to the Table Now and Throughout the Year M
ost of us take eating for granted. In fact, for many people, getting enough to eat is not the problem, getting too much is. It may be surprising to learn that there are over a half-million people right here in Western Washington who don’t get enough to eat on a daily basis. For children and adults living in or close to poverty, securing good, healthful food can be a real problem. That’s why Food Lifeline is so important to the Northwest. This efficient, non-profit organization is dedicated to helping end hunger in Western Washington. Food Lifeline works hard to make every bit of donated food and cash count. In 2012, Food Lifeline distributed over 36 million pounds of food, the equivalent of over 30 million meals. 95% of the food that Food Lifeline distributes is donated. Three of the programs that handle these donations are Seattle’s Table Program which is supplied by local restaurants and caterers who contribute prepared food, Produce for the People that collects fresh produce from wholesalers and retailers, and the Grocery Rescue Program that
collects products such as meat, dairy, fresh produce and baked goods from local grocery retailers. QFC participates in the Grocery Rescue Program year-round. QFC is proud to support Food Lifeline as our Charity of the Month in November and December. Through our “Bringing Hope to the Table” campaign we will be helping collect both food and cash donations that will assist in feeding thousands of hungry people during the cold winter months of the holiday season and for many months thereafter. Each year, QFC’s Bringing Hope to the Table campaign plays a crucial role in making sure that Food Lifeline has food items and assets to distribute food to hungry people through its many food banks, meal programs and its shelter network. There are many ways in which QFC customers can help support Bringing Hope to the Table. One way is to buy a pre-made bag of groceries for $10. These bags contain dry-good grocery items that Food Lifeline says its clients often request. You can also purchase food bank recommended items
and donate those in our donation bins. There will be items throughout the store marked with special tags to make it easy to know what to purchase and donate. QFC will also have $1 and $5 donation cards available at the checkstand as well as $10 virtual bag donation cards. Just hand the card to your checker and your donation
will be added to your order. The virtual bag donations get tallied and delivered to Food Lifeline as full cases of product. You can also donate your spare change into change jars available at your checkstand. Thank you for supporting QFC and Food Lifeline to help feed the hungry during the holiday season and beyond.

They instructed me to stay put in the driver’s seat, put it in neutral and steer. No sooner than I could say “Are you sure?” These two average size, middle-aged super women pushed me around the corner and down the street. I was going to pull over to the side, but I started pumping the gas and it started. I immediately rolled down the window and as I left them in a cloud of smoke, I waved and yelled “Thank you!” I hoped they heard me. Last week I saw my women walkers and I stopped to chat with them. I thanked them

for that one day a couple months ago when they helped me without hesitation. I asked them if I could take their picture and told them I was going to write an article about random acts of kindness in Sammamish. I told them I wanted to acknowledge them and they said “Oh, you don’t have to do that, just pay it forward!” I have since traded my Honda in for a great little reliable 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit that I am in love with. I often see my gals walking in the neighborhood. I wave and remind myself to notice the people around me. Maybe someone needs some help. The author of this guest column is Sandra Collins. Collins lives in Sammamish.
Baby Boomers could be healthiest gen yet, if only... BY TIMI GUSTAFSON, R.D.
Older Americans have a much better chance to enjoy many more years of good health and vitality than any generation before them due to better medical treatment and easier access to healthcare, according to a recent study, based on data collected by government health agencies over the last three decades. On average, seniors living today in the United States can expect about two more years of healthy living than their parents. Health problems that were debilitating just a short while ago, like vision problems or cardiovascular disease, can now be treated more successfully, said Dr. David Cutler, an economics professor at Harvard University and one of the authors of the study report. “There are a number of conditions, such as heart disease, that used to be very, very impairing. It used to be that after a severe heart attack, people would essentially be bedridden, or they would wind up in nursing homes. We’re not seeing that anymore,” he added. While that is good news for retiring Baby Boomers, these findings are not universally applicable. A higher percentage of the boomer generation (about 36 percent) is obese compared to any other group in the U.S. The two generations directly above and below are about 25 percent. That puts boomers at an exceptionally high risk of suffering from diet and lifestyle-related illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer, all of which may be treatable but still have diminishing effects on people’s quality of life. In other words, although boomers can greatly benefit from the enormous medical and pharmaceutical advances that have been made over the last decades, their wellbeing still largely depends
on how well they take care of themselves. Unfortunately, current trends are not pointing in the right direction. Studies show that younger boomers, those born in the 1960s, have a higher prevalence of obesity than those born one or two decades earlier. The overall increase in obesity rates throughout the boomer generation is steeper than any other before them. Considering the means and opportunities older Americans have today to meet their health needs, it is surprising that so many ended up less healthy than previously thought, said Dr. Dana King of the West Virginia University Department of Family Medicine and author of a study on the health prospects of the aging population. The reasons for these developments are multiple and they are well documented. Increased food consumption, poor diet choices and sedentary lifestyles are at the forefront, as they are in most other parts of the population suffering from weight problems and related ills. Likewise, the solutions would be similar. It would indeed be surprising if this generation that has always been known for its high expectations couldn’t meet the challenges of healthy aging. There is certainly no shortage of advice for how to go about it. Yes, boomers are lucky to be able to benefit from many opportunities that were not available before, but they can also learn from some old-fashioned wisdom that helped our forbearers to get through life – sometimes better than we know how to today.

A
issaqua h ca rdiolog y clinic we think about you
fter trying two methods to rank SAMMI nominees and winners, the 2014 SAMMI Awards will be a compromise of the two approaches. For 2014 a scoring system will be used to select up to the top five nominees in each category. These awardees will have their inspirational stories told in depth through a multimedia presentation at the ceremony on March 21, 2014. As in the past, community volunteers will be trained to interview all of the nominees and apply the scoring system based on the SAMMI values: Sense of community, high ethical values, inspiration, and leadership. All of the qualified nominees will have their stories told on the SAMMI web page, and will be offered the opportunity to have an informational booth about their nonprofit or activities at the ceremony
reception. Other changes include a new executive director for the SAMMIs, Cynthia Baumert. She joined the organization after years in event marketing at Microsoft followed by several years as an art docent at Echo Glen along with concurrent activity as a PTSA board member. Baumert is also a 2013 SAMMI Awardee. The SAMMI organization also has five new board members: Larry Crandall, Mayten Gross, Heidi Whittington, Jane Hitchcock, and Gail Stacy Michelman. Each of the new board members brings their own unique set of skills and perspectives, along with a shared passion for the mission of the SAMMIs to celebrate and promote community involvement. Nominations are open. Please visit www. sammiawards.org and nominate that inspirational person in your life.

At one point, Thoa Nguyen had five restaurants in the Puget Sound area but it just got too crazy. “I want to enjoy what I’m doing,” Nguyen said. “It’s a lifestyle and a career. You have to love it — the people, the stress and everything that comes with it.” Nguyen scaled back to two establishments — the original Chinoise on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill, which opened in 1996, and Wabi Sabi, a sushi bar and Japanese restaurant with a Maui influence, which she opened in 2009. Now, she’s adding another Chinoise (which is French for Chinese), in the Issaquah Highlands. Chinoise will bring an upscale dining experience with its Pan-Pacific cuisine, to Issaquah. She expects a clientele that is into healthy, fresh food, without any “mystery” ingredients. Nguyen writes all the recipes — she is the executive chef of all three restaurants and has trained all of her chefs herself. “You will catch me in the kitchen,” she said. “I like to cook.” She came to the United States from Vietnam at the age 11 as Saigon fell and the Vietnam war ended. Her father was a Navy SEAL, so she and her family got out on a Navy vessel. “He was one tough man,” she said. At age 13 she started cooking at home, then worked in restaurants all through high school and college. She earned her degree in graphic design, but kept coming back to food. She became the deli manager at Uwajimaya in Bellevue, before being hired to manage all of the Asian Choice deli’s
within QFC stores. When the Asian Choice deli’s closed, she opened Chinoise on Queen Anne. She calls Chinoise Pan-Pacific cuisine, meaning the dishes are from regions stretching from Southeast Asia all the way north to Japan. The only Hawaiian influence at Chinoise is poke, a raw salad served as an appetizer. Her Pho, which is a Vietnamese noodle soup in a beef broth base, is topped with filet mignon. She recently went to Hanoi, famous for its Pho, and she said her Pho is as good as any you’ll find in Hanoi. Rice noodle bowls come with crispy spring rolls with grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, shrimp or chicken, and is served with muoc-mam, a sweet and sour chili-based sauce. On the Chinese side, expect traditional Chinese stir-fry like Mongolian beef, or honey walnut prawns. Sushi choices include maki or nigri, with tempura and tempura udon soup representing some of the Japanese fare. Chinoise will offer specialty cocktails such as a mango mojito or a ginger lime margarita, a selection of both white and red wines, saki and beer. Desserts include coconut sticky rice and mango, coconut ice cream or a fried banana with ice cream. Nguyen said she keeps it all together because she is very organized and systematic. She said her staff is great, many whom have been with her for 10-15 years. “We’re like a small family,” she said. She will mainly be at the Issaquah restaurant but has her trusted chefs who understand her expectations at the others. She and her husband Barry have four children, ages 8 to 28, who all drop in and out working for mom as needed (except the 8-year-old). Chinoise will be open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and noon to 3 p.m.
on weekends, and dinner Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 4 to 9:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 4 to 11 p.m. It is located at 936 Park Drive, right by the Regal Cinemas. For more information visit chinoisesushibarandasiangrill.com.

‘Life on Nubis’ author talks tech and future economic displacement BY DANIEL NASH DNASH@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
Technology is changing; perhaps more rapidly than at any point in history. Do we know what the future will look like even 20 years from now? A decade? Five? One Sammamish author and futurist, Robert Harken, has taken a look at two possible futures — both fewer than 30 years away — and what they would mean for humanity. Harken published “Snow Falling,” a short story about a woman fighting for privacy and survival in a social media driven economy, in November. “Life on Nubis,” his novel about interplanetary exodus after humanity’s displacement by hyper-efficient machines, was released in January to acclaim from the Midwest Book Review. Harken will speak publicly about technological developments and the consequences for mankind at the Issaquah Library Nov. 10 at 1:30 p.m., and again at the Bellevue Library Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. He agreed to sit down with the Reporter to talk about a few of his thoughts on his stories and ideas about the future. The following interview has been edited for space, but not content; the full interview is available at bellevuereporter.com. Reporter: Had you written fiction prior to “Snow Falling” and “Life on Nubis?” What inspired you to begin publishing your stories? Robert: My writing prior to “Snow Falling” and “Life on Nubis” primarily focused on business and legal nonfiction. I took the standard writing classes for students NOT studying fine arts at school. My background required a great deal of self-education in technique because I had become allergic to school by the time I decided to write fiction. Several factors prompted me to publish my stories. First, I wanted to inform my children about the technology-driven changes in our future and offer advice on how to manage those impacts. Second, I’ve had lifelong compulsions to be creative and to make a positive impact on the world. I recognize that these compulsions require
a good bit of hubris and arrogance on my part, which I counterbalance with the thought that readers will judge the merit of my work for themselves. Reporter: Let’s talk about your writings on social media first. A recent essay posted to your website and blog, “Social Capitalism,” called for — or at least extrapolated — a system in which a person’s virtual social score could translate into material trade “by Author Robert Harken changing the value basis for PHOTO COURTESY OF HARKEN MEDIA currencies.” What change do you think would have to take place for this to be feasible? Considering Facebook alone, a new Like is produced every time someone clicks the button. It strikes me as the ultimate fiat currency. Robert: The technology to implement social capitalism exists today; however, the design of social capitalism requires much work. Your example of Facebook Likes is a good one. Trivial acts, such as Likes, should not accrue wealth in a relationship economy. This begs the question of what is the value standard? Today, “the market” determines value, i.e. a good or service is worth the amount at which the buyer and seller complete an exchange. Let’s transpose the current process into a relationship economy to assess fit. Suppose a person, call them Pat, feels down and needs someone to talk with about their problems, so they post a request for emotional support and advice. People bid on the opportunity and Pat selects the lowest bidder to confide in. Most people would find this process odd to say the least. A relationship economy will necessarily function differently. As I currently conceive the idea, an organization, like the Federal
Reserve, or a democratic voting process would set values for relationship transactions — not individuals. People earn value through actions that affect others positively and lose value in actions with negative effects. Note two characteristics: the recipient of the action pays nothing and an action without effect creates no value. I suggest community values because group valuation prevents a lot of fraud from the start. We must eliminate the influence of special interests in a communal approach, but specific system designs go beyond the scope of what we need to discuss today. People have to accept the concept first. Social capitalism will become feasible only when we change the economic and social contracts underpinning our civilization. People must be willing to participate in a version of capitalism that monetizes a fundamental aspect of being human — relationships. Bitcoins, the digital currency, is an ongoing, interesting experiment in alternative currencies. Are you willing to sell your car for Bitcoins? Reservations will arise with “social dollars” as well; however, the adoption of Bitcoins is easy in comparison to social capitalism, which some may perceive as a commercial blight on our nature. The change process is fundamentally political. Unfortunately, I believe this means less proactive action and more reaction once innovation consequences become intolerable. These ideas seem untenable today, but consider a future where, for example, 80 percent of the population is unemployed. Concurrently, the production of goods and services to satisfy our needs and wants requires little or no human effort. New ways of earning money become more attractive. Reporter: That same essay opens by noting that innovations in technologies that increase productivity could or will lead to labor share losses and widespread unemployment. How does social capitalism counteract this? SEE AUTHOR, 17

Washington’s K-12 and university students began a new year, no longer captive to a public education system struggling to meet basic needs. Instead, the recent legislative session made education funding a priority for the first time in years and put us on course to finally honor this state’s primary constitutional commitment to schools. There was no guarantee any of that would transpire. In past sessions, lawmakers repeatedly shorted education by adopting unsustainable budgets. This year a projected $900 million budget deficit, coupled with the state Supreme Court’s decision mandating new education dollars, convinced many that nothing more could be done. But a new bipartisan makeup in the state Senate offered a chance to escape bad habits of the past and try to achieve better results. Prevailing wisdom held that the environment was simply too hostile, that any true bipartisan efforts at reform and re-prioritization would surely fail. Working across the aisle, we fundamentally shifted Olympia’s budgeting priorities. With additional revenue from a growing state economy and a disciplined approach, growth in spending was re-prioritized 4:1 for education over non-education completely reversing the 1:2 ratio of the past 30 years and a critical step toward re-balancing and resetting state budget practices. Children entering public schools this fall will benefit from an additional $1 billion for basic education. College students aren’t seeing tuition increases for the first time in nearly 30 years. And students on waiting lists for high-demand computer science and engineering degrees will have more opportunities because of an additional $18 million to expand enrollment slots. Was this truly a bipartisan budget? Unquestionably. With 89 percent of the votes cast in the Legislature favoring the new spending plan, it received more votes than any budget in the past 20 years – a stark contrast to the usual party-line voting, and proof that bipartisanship can actually work.

Robert: Social capitalism shifts the earning power from goods and services to personal interactions. Innovations that increase the efficiency of producing goods and services have no effect on the “employment” of people who earn a living interacting with others because the value chains are different. People will still trade social dollars for conventional goods and services, but earn the dollars in a different market. A risk I intentionally passed over in the article (for brevity reasons) involves the reallocation of resources to enhance the relationship earning power of innovators instead of using those resources to enhance conventional goods and services. Likewise, people must not inflict themselves on others for the sake of earning a buck. Our economic architects must prevent overinvestment in relationships by restricting innovation and behavior in a manner analogous to the printing of money today, i.e. the government decides when and how to print money. Behavioral risks exist as well. “Snow Falling” explores some of the unintended consequences of technologydriven social drift. I wish to make clear that social capitalism represents one type of solution. I presented this alternative economic scheme to broaden the dialogue about future innovation impacts. Others have either denied the Luddite Fallacy will become the Luddite Verity or proposed a socialistic system in which the government taxes and redistributes wealth. Whether we imple-

ment social capitalism as I described is less important than developing creative solutions for the negative effects of innovation while maintaining the positive aspects of change. Reporter: Do you believe the technological Singularity—the point at which artificial intelligence will exceed human intelligence—is coming soon? Which current technologies do you think are contributing most to this event? Robert: I believe the technological singularity will occur sometime between thirty and fifty years from now. We experience the impacts of technology innovation today and those effects will become life altering long before the Singularity. Last year was the first year the U.S. poverty rate stopped increasing—our best performance three years into an economic recovery is no
Page 17
change in the poverty rate. Three technology areas drive the change: biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence. Biotechnology helps us understand the human mind. Nanotechnology will create quantum computers powerful enough to run artificial intelligence (AI) software capable of humanequivalent thought as understood from biotech research. In case you think these advances will occur outside your lifetime, consider that Xbox Kinect, iPhone’s Siri, and Google search run powerful AI algorithms. I will discuss specific, current advances in biotech, nanotech, and AI during my talks at the Issaquah and Bellevue libraries. Life on Nubis explores further reaching implications of these technologies. Reporter: Your novel, “Life on Nubis,” examines life at the point of the Singularity. Machines have contributed to human displacement—economically and literally, as protagonist Aiden is part of an interplanetary mass exodus. Who is left to benefit from the hyper-efficient economy back on Earth? Robert: For a while, the individuals and companies driving innovation will benefit from the hyper-efficient economy. As wealth distribution skews dramatically in their favor and their advances reduce or eliminate the earning power of consumers, innovators will sow the seeds of their demise because people without money can’t consume and eventually become unhappy enough to force wealth redistribution. Professions focusing on personal in-
teraction, such as psychology and politics, will be insulated from negative impacts until people become too poor. In the end, the combination of our current economic system and technology development makes everyone unhappy. This, of course, doesn’t have to be our fate. Reporter: I’m still reading the book now, by the way, and it strikes me as great sci-fi in the “old school” vein. By which I mean it’s very focused on applying the concepts of your predicted future, and doesn’t fall into characters’ navel gazing. Who do you consider your greatest influences? Robert: This question touches on my motivation to create positive change. Science fiction that influences me the most reveals insights about humanity, our future, or both. From Pebble in the Sky to the Foundation trilogy, Isaac Asimov opened minds to new ideas through his art. Aldous Huxley, Philip K. Dick, Paolo Bacigalupi, and Kurt Vonnegut are a few of the many talents who have walked this path, but you don’t have to be a guy to produce (or enjoy) great science fiction. Suzanne Collins wrote a biting criticism of societal values, the media, and our consumption of media content in The Hunger Games. She dosed our medicine in a young adult, Sci-Fi romance adventure that tastes a lot better than cherry cough syrup.

Skyline head coach Don Braman has watched his team reach the conference title game again in 2013 after falling to Redmond for the league crown last season. FILE PHOTO
Second meeting in a week to decide KingCo soccer champ BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
For the second time in a week and with the conference championship on the line, Skyline and Issaquah met in the latest installment of the conference’s most competitive girls soccer rivalry. A 1-0 Skyline win on Oct. 24 gave
them the top spot in the regular season standings and home field advantage for the title game, which matched a pair of teams with only three losses and a pair of ties between them on the year. Those stellar records owe in large part to a pair of defenses that have been exceptionally stingy over the course of the season. Issaquah had won its past eight
games before falling to the Spartans and allowed only one goal in those eight games combined. For the year, only five teams scored a goal, none more than a single tally and the Eagles’ defense worked nine shutouts in 14 games on the year. Skyline, which began the year with three goalkeepers with varsity experience, has been equally impressive in recording 10 shutouts and allowing only three goals on the season. The 4A KingCo title game took place Thursday after the Reporter’s press deadline with the winner earning the KingCo championship and automatic berth to the 4A state tournament. The loser of the championship game will face a KingCo foe for another automatic state berth, with the loser of that game playing the third place Wesco finisher for the district’s final spot at state. Skyline’s only loss of the year came in late September to Woodinville in a 1-0 decision while the Eagles also fell to the Falcons by the same count. The Spartans have made the semi-finals every year since 2008, never finishing lower than third and winning four state titles, including the past two. Issaquah has reached the championship game twice since 2009, falling to its district rivals each time by a single goal.
Eastlake dropped by Inglemoor to finish season Eastlake ended its season in the opening round of the tournament Monday in a 2-0 loss to Inglemoor. The Wolves finished the year with a record of 8-7-1.

The finals are slated for Saturday at 2 p.m. at UW and the dive finals are Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at Juanita High School. Spectator parking is $6 in the E-1 lott and is cash only.
Eastlake edges out Skyline for golf title The Wolves followed their KingCo championship round with another for the district title at Snohomish Golf Course last week, beating Skyline by a single point for the title. Spencer Weiss earned medalist honors with a total of 142 for the two days, with Skyline teammates Kelley Sullivan and Brian Mogg tied for third. Issaquah’s Zach Overstreet shot 146 to finish sixth and teammate Barret Dowling fired a 148 to qualify for state.

Get Your Kicks Eastside Kickboxing: 1180 NW Gilman Blvd., 425-392-8663, eastsidekickboxing.com
BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
For years, Missy Lee would drive by and wonder. Her job as the manager at a nearby fast-casual restaurant sent her driving past Eastside Kickboxing, which operates out of a strip mall suite along Gilman Boulevard in Issaquah, and the longtime fitness enthusiast always wondered what kept people flowing through and if the gym might offer the intensity and excitement she longed for in a workout. While she had no experience kickboxing, Lee was studying at the time to become a certified personal trainer and after several years of driving by and wondering, she finally went inside. The result was an instant connection to the gym that would become the foundation for its future. “I knew from that first class, this was the fitness thing I was looking for,” she said. “I fell in love.” Lee figured she would continue on the path to becoming a personal trainer and keep the job she had worked to advance at since high school in the interim, although the thought of owning her own studio continued to creep forward in her mind. When the announcement was made the business
Missy Lee, who fell in love with kickboxing through classes at the Issaquah gym she now owns, said the most exciting aspect of ownership has been interacting with members and building a sense of community among them. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter would either by sold or close its doors, Lee knew the opportunity was too good to pass up. “When I talked to the former owner, I knew,” she said. Lee took over the full-time operations
as owner in March and while some of the emphasis around the training has changed, the main philosophy of high-energy cardio training through kickboxing with heavy bags has remained constant. The majority of the instructors teach-
Skyline meets Bothell for title, Issy, Eastlake play with season at stake BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
Skyline (7-1, 5-0) VS. Bothell (7-1, 4-0), 7 p.m. Friday The path to the 4A KingCo title game has been remarkably similar for Crown champion Skyline and Crest victor Bothell. Both enter the game off momentum building wins, 30-17 for the Spartans over rival Issaquah and 35-0 for Bothell in a blowout of Woodinville and each has only a single loss on the season, both to 3A power Bellevue. Each team also owns a win over Coeur d’Alene (Idaho), with the Spartans winning a 38-23 game in week two and Bothell coming from behind in the final minutes to stun the Vikings 44-43 in the Emerald City Kickoff Classic to open the year. Since KingCo play began, neither has been truly tested for an entire game and each will certainly face its stiffest competition since the non-conference slate. The Cougars scored 42 or more points five straight weeks

The offense has trended up steadily and comes in scoring an even 40 points per game in its last four games. Defensively, last week’s effort against Redmond in a 50-14 win was the strongest since the opening week and comes at the right time, with the Roughriders looking to replicate last year’s run to the state quarterfinals. Roosevelt torched Ballard 34-0 last week to finish the regular season and has won its last two after dropping three straight to begin the conference season.
Issaquah (5-3, 4-1) @ Redmond (5-3, 1-3), 7 p.m. Friday The Eagles travel to Redmond for the crossover round with their season and a spot in the district playoffs on the line a week after falling short against rival Skyline. Issaquah led that game at the half before ultimately falling and will play a Redmond team that won only a single division game, over Inglemoor, on the year. The winner will earn a spot in the district tournament.

Since the Wolves’ last loss, a 45-18 setback to Bothell in the final week of September, they sport a perfect 4-0 record and have played in only one close game, a 24-21 win over Woodinville three weeks ago.
The Crusaders bounced back from the deflating loss to O’Dea with a 41-12 win over Blanchet last week to earn a spot in the 3A district playoffs. The Eagles have won two of their past three games.

before the shutout of the Falcons last week and are averaging better than 43 points per game in their seven wins. If there is a defense in the league ready to slow quarterback Ross Bowers and the Bothell offense, it would be Skyline, which has allowed more than 18 points only twice all season and enters the game allowing just more than 12 points per contest in seven victories. The winner will take the top seed from the conference to next week’s district playoffs and host a game against the fourth seeded team from the North Division of the South Puget Sound League for a spot in the state tournament. The loser will play the fourth seeded team from the South Division of the SPSL, also at home for a spot in the 4A tournament field of 16.
ing classes before the change in ownership stayed on board and Lee said the enthusiasm during classes and among members has made for an atmosphere never lacking in excitement. “I want people to come in and know they are going to get a great workout in a friendly environment,” she said. Those workouts include several elements to reach the goal of raising the heart rate for the duration of the workout, including resistance training, cardiovascular work and core training. Instructors also work to create varied circuits that incorporate kickboxing elements and have a weekly bootcamp class that has grown in popularity. Lee said the most encouraging part of her time as owner has been the camaraderie among patrons, instructors and herself. While the initial months included some transition with members and forced her to think about and then develop the identity of the gym for the future, the returns have her dreaming even bigger. “Hopefully we can get a bigger space, add more bags,” she said. “I only want to see it grow.”

Standard test is necessary if doctors are to fight ovarian cancer BY KATIE VAN KESSEL, M.D.
As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I regularly order Pap smears for my patients to screen for cervical cancer and mammograms to screen for breast cancer. However, I can’t order a simple test that will screen for ovarian cancer, and that is troubling. Ovarian cancer affects almost 200,000 women worldwide and about 18,000 women in the U.S. Seven in 10 women die within five years of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer and approximately 14,230 women will die in the United States from ovarian cancer in 2013. In Washington state alone, a woman dies every day of the disease, yet ovarian cancer is highly curable if found in its earliest stage. Over 90 percent of patients who are diagnosed early have a greater chance for survival. However, only 15 percent of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed early. So what can women do? It is very important to know your family history. Is someone in your family a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation carrier? (You might remember this is the genetic mutation Angelina Jolie was aware she carries.) Are there stories of your great-grandma passing from “tummy troubles”? Do you have a family history of ovarian cancer? Do you have multiple blood relatives who have had breast cancer? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might choose to see a genetic counselor. Additionally, individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are 10 times more likely to carry a BRCA gene mutation than the general population. Women carrying mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have up to an 80 percent risk of developing breast cancer and up to a 45 percent risk of developing ovarian cancer. Jewish men can also pass on these mutations to their children. If – based on family history or ethnic background – you are at high risk of ovarian cancer, a CA-125 test, coupled with a trans-vaginal ultrasound, can be a reliable indicator if you first establish your individual baseline. A new study (which was funded in
BUDGET CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16
I’m not a career politician. I sought office three years ago because I believed there was a need for common sense in our budget process and for bipartisan solutions to our most difficult problems. While some people in politics become cynics – occasionally with good reason – I choose to be an optimist, refusing to believe something is impossible simply because someone says it can’t be done.And I believe we have now led Olympia toward a new way of thinking – one more in line with the priorities of the people who sent us there and one which puts the state’s future on a more secure path.
part by the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research), conducted by Dr. Karen Lu, professor of gynecologic oncology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, shows promise for using the combination of a CA-125 blood test and a trans-vaginal ultrasound to track any changes over time. According to Dr. Lu, the “new study “is a ray of excitement.” However she cautions that the “important message is that this shouldn’t change clinical practice right now. We don’t have enough data.” The Rivkin Center provides a critical source of funding, both national and international, for translational research and early detection screening. Dr. Saul Rivkin founded the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research in 1996 in honor of his wife, Marsha, who passed away from ovarian cancer, and his five daughters. The Rivkin Center is a partnership with Swedish Medical Center and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. It is the mission of the Rivkin Center to save lives and reduce suffering through improved treatment, early detection and prevention of ovarian cancer. Awareness and advocacy is necessary so that more women become aware of potential symptoms. As September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, I want to make sure as many people as possible see the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. They may seem like fairly common indicators, however it is important to be aware of them and share them with the women in your life: Abdominal bloating, discomfort or pain Lack of appetite Frequent urination Constipation Lack of energy Vaginal bleeding Nausea or diarrhea These symptoms may be caused by ovarian cancer or by other less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor, preferably a gynecologist, if these

symptoms are new and persist for 2-3 weeks, especially if you experience several at one time. A Pap smear is NOT a test for ovarian cancer. I became involved with the Rivkin Center because I saw the devastating effects of ovarian cancer in my own family. In 2008, my mother-in-law passed away from ovarian cancer after being diagnosed with stage III in 2001. As a physician, even as an OBGYN, I was powerless to help her. And that steeled my resolve to do something for others by helping to raise money for vital research and sharing the signs and symptoms in any way I can, because we need a reliable test for all women.
Awareness and advocacy is necessary if women are to become aware of their potential symptoms.
Katie Van Kessel, M.D., is an OBGYN physician at Overlake Hospital Medical Center and on the board of the Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research.
...obituaries Michael R. Evanger
Michael R Evanger was born in Port Angeles, WA, and passed away September 27, 2013 at the Franciscan Hospice, University Place, WA. Michael was a friend to many, always ready to reach out to help those in need, and freely shared his skills and knowledge. He will be greatly missed by those he touched and loved. Michael is survived by his wife of 34 years, Caroline of Suquamish WA. His parents Robert and Virginia Evanger of Bothell WA, daughter Christina Duquette of Sterling VA; son and daughter-in-law David and Nicole Evanger, with grandchildren Ethan and Kaylee of Hayes VA. Michael is also survived by three brothers; Bert, Eric and Mark; one sister, Anna, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Utah and Colorado. Michael began his schooling in Port Angeles, moving with his family to Bothell where he graduated Bothell High School in 1970. Returning to Port Angeles, Michael studied Architectural Drafting at Peninsula College. His lifelong love of the outdoors blossomed during this time as Michael spent his free time hiking and climbing in the Olympic National Park or dirt biking in the forests above his home in Port Angeles. Michael worked as a master finish carpenter from Everett to Tacoma, Gig Harbor to Port Angeles leaving a legacy of beautiful homes, houseboats, condominiums, and many commercial projects in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bremerton. A veteran of the US Marine Corps, Michael was Honorably Discharged in 1975 with the rank of Corporal. Michael enjoyed wood carving, fly fishing, photography, kayaking, sailing, and hiking/snow shoeing throughout Washington. He was a member of the Friends of Point No Point Lighthouse, and Kitsap Audubon Society. He was awarded for his wood carvings in the Kitsap County Woodcarvers annual shows. Burial is scheduled for December 6 at 1 pm, with honors, at the Mt Tahoma National Cemetery. Donations, in lieu of flowers, can be made in Michaels name to: Make-a-Wish, Alaska & Washington, 811 1st Avenue, Suite#520, Seattle, WA 98104 (800-304-9476) 907867

Initiative 522 – badly written, costly and misleading Consumers would pay higher grocery prices “Economic studies show I-522 would increase grocery prices for Washington families by hundreds of dollars per year.” Dan Newhouse, Former Director Washington State Department of Agriculture
Many food labels would be false and inaccurate “Initiative 522 is so badly written it would require some foods to be labeled as genetically engineered, even if they're not. It would give consumers misleading information.” Ken Eikenberry, Former Washington State Attorney General
I-522 won’t give consumers what they’re looking for “Initiative 522 isn't based on sound science and wouldn't give consumers accurate or reliable information. I-522 would not make our food any safer, but it would make our food more expensive.” Dr. Nancy Auer, Former President Washington State Medical Association*
“Washington voters and consumers can serve their best interests by voting No on I-522.” Seattle Times Editorial, 10/5/13
“I-522 doesn’t live up to its own truth-inpackaging claims.” Tacoma News Tribune Editorial, 10/6/13
“Labeling needs to be done the right way, and I-522 falls short.” Everett Herald Editorial, 10/16/13
“Exemptions for everything from dairy and beef products to restaurant foods render much of I-522 meaningless to consumers.” The Spokesman-Review Editorial, 10/22/13
“[I-522] would confuse rather than inform, so voters should reject this poorly worded and deceptive initiative.” The Olympian Editorial, 10/22/13
NO 522

Every major newspaper in Washington says NO on I-522: Seattle Times • The Olympian • Everett Herald The Spokesman-Review • Walla Walla Union-Bulletin • The Columbian • Tri-City Herald • Wenatchee World Longview Daily News • Tacoma News Tribune • Yakima Herald-Republic • Moscow-Pullman Daily News This voter information paid for by NO on 522, P.O.
