Meeting of the minds Fire service partners reach an agreement BY LINDA BALL

LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Changes requested to the Eastside Fire and Rescue interlocal agreement by the city of Sammamish turned out to be no more than clarifications. The EFR board meeting Dec. 12 looked nothing like the one Nov. 14 when there was tension in the room and a bit of finger pointing. Instead, this meeting produced a celebratory mood complete with sparkling cider and cookies. The new ILA, once it is reviewed by attorneys for all of the partners and the fire service, will go into effect in January 2015 and will be good for seven years. An ad-hoc committee was formed to review the changes. Issaquah City Council member Paul Winterstein, who was on the committee, said the requested changes were easy to understand, adding that deputy chief Wes Collins did a lot of work to bring perspective to the issue. The only member of EFR who voted "nay" was Ron Pedee from District 38 who thought the process was premature. "It was a question of whether or not it was timely to send it to the attorneys," Pedee said. "To do a meaningful job it would take four to six weeks." District 38 is in battalion five, the same as North Bend. It covers areas of unincorporated King County surrounding the

Dan O’Neill guides Mercy Corps, bringing help around the globe KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Dan O’Neill, a Sammamish resident and founder of Mercy Corps, has been involved in humanitarian efforts for more than 30 years. After living in Israel during the Yom Kippur War and then witnessing the Cambodia killing fields in the late 1970s, O’Neill realized he wanted to focus his life on the human consequences of war. “It seemed to me that we should do something, as Americans,” he said. During this time, O’Neill called First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who invited him to work on the White House Cambodia Crisis Committee. “She was very touched and emotionally invested in what was happening there,” he said.

O’Neill and Carter put together a team and started a one-year task force to combat the issues facing Cambodia. At age 31, O’Neill was
selected to be the committee’s executive director. “I thought it would last about a year,” he said. One year turned into a lifetime as the project transcended into the 1979 founding of Mercy Corps. As one of the top humanitarian groups in the world, Mercy Corps prides itself on empowerment and long-term sustainability opposed to simply providing supplies. “Early on, we moved into a philosophy of local leadership,” he said. “We weren’t Americans telling people on the ground how to live.” O’Neill said that Mercy Corps’ staff consists mostly of indigenous people who know the country, the people and the culture. “There was a sense that we were empowering them to take control over their own lives,” he said.
“It seemed to to me that we should do something, as Americans.” – Dan O’Neill And while Mercy Corps is considered to be a mid-sized non-governmental organization with an operating budget of $350 million a year, O’Neill said they are very cost-efficient. “We take people’s donations very seriously,” he said.

Ava Frisinger presides over last city council meeting as Issaquah mayor BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
It was a bittersweet moment when retiring Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger, addressing the city council and many citizens, said although she doesn't express emotions publicly, she loved them all. "I get maudlin after half a glass of sparkling cider – probably because I'm part Scottish," she joked while looking as though she was about to tear up. Prior to the meeting, a reception was held in her honor with cake, coffee and sparkling cider, attended by her family, city staff, council, citizens, police and fire representatives. Mayor-elect Fred Butler read a lengthy proclamation outlining her 16 years as mayor and all that has been accomplished. Butler said she has successfully managed one of King County’s fastest growing cities, which has seen a 214 percent increase in population since 1998 when she was first elected. Frisinger is Issaquah's longest serving mayor. Butler praised her for retaining

Outgoing Issaquah Mayor, Ava Frisinger (center), enjoys a moment with her daughter, Diane Lindstrand, and her granddaughter, Ava Lindstrand. One of the balloons they presented to Frisinger said "Welcome Back," meaning welcome back to the family after 16 years of dedication to the city. LINDA BALL, Issaquah Reporter open space in the city, and her commitment to sustainability. "She is vest-wearing docent at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, an expert on salmon policy and a leader for the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. She deeply loves Issaquah, its people and the natural beauty that surrounds us," Butler read from the proclamation. Several citizens took their turn at the podium to thank her for her years of service. Robin Kelley, the director of
festivals for the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, specifically Salmon Days, thanked Frisinger with a presentation of a large gift basket from the festival office. Greg Tryon, deputy chief of operations for Eastside Fire and Rescue, thanked her on behalf of Chief Lee Soptich for bringing Eastside Fire and Rescue together, saying he's had the opportunity to speak to hundreds of elected officials over the years, and Frisinger was in the top five.
cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend and east to milepost 38 in Snoqualmie Pass. Pedee said District 38 has responded to life and death incidents all the way to Kittitas County. Although not in agreement with the short time frame to turn in the new ILA, Pedee did not indicate that District 38 plans to leave EFR. It was clarified that each city/partner has title to personal property such as fire trucks, and if they were to leave EFR, such property and money that goes into a replacement fund for the equipment as it depreciates would go with them, too. Also agreed upon was that five members of the eightmember board must approve any expenditures over $50,000. Alan Gothelf, a member of the North Bend City Council and now the new representative on the EFR board for his city, made a motion to form an operational committee, which passed unanimously. Since the EFR board is made up of elected officials, many of them do not have the time to study every detail with a fine-tooth comb. This committee would be made up of various city staff members who can identify anything on the budget. He said this would allow the board to use staff expertise. The motion passed and Gothelf said it’s been left up to the fire service staff to figure out how to make it work, and to come back to the board with their recommendations. Gothelf and Ramiro Valderrama from the Sammamish City Council both expressed thanks to everyone on the board for addressing all the issues and for their efforts. “I was glad to be part of the process, the fact that this was resolved amicably,” Winterstein said. Unexpected departures by firefighters from EFR during this tumultuous time and others out sick has resulted in EFR exceeding its overtime budget. The board approved $37,000 more for overtime, which will come out of extra revenue.

UP for Issaquah Home Depot Assistant Manager John Delacour who enlisted the company to help local artist Bill Sullivan after reading about him in the Dec. 6 Reporter. Delacour, the store’s “donation captain,” arranged for Home Depot to donate a $100 Milwaukee drill, drill bits, sandpaper, adhesive and a full tank of propane to Sullivan, who is homeless. The first four items were for his artwork, called concretions, and the propane was so he could stay warm. Delacour had all the items waiting in a cart when Sullivan came in.
For the cities and agencies that make up Eastside Fire & Rescue for clearing the final hurdle to keeping this life-saving service intact. Disagreements over funding EFR were worked out and residents can go into the new year assured that quick fire and EMT response is at their call.

For employees from Simply Placed LLC whose One Warm Coat clothing drive collected more than 250 articles of winter clothing from businesses throughout Issaquah and the Eastside – far above their goal of 100.

A rebuttal on annexation issue BY DICK L’HEUREUX, MIKE FOSS, ROB YOUNG, AND BRENT MARSHALL
O
n Feb. 11, 2014 there will be a vote to decide if the citizens of the Klahanie Proposed Annexation Area (PAA) wish to become a part of the city of Issaquah or remain part of unincorporated King County. That decision should be made based on each voter’s judgment and that is the way it should be – including their belief that they feel to be more a part of the city of Issaquah than of unincorporated King county if that is the case. Enter the David Kappler opinion article in which he has exhibited the same bias toward eventual annexation to Sammamish as he has over the past 10 years or so – including when he served as an Issaquah City Council member. The problem with the article is misleading assertions not based on fact – as is the statement that Issaquah’s support of the PAA will be minimal. The truth is that the Nesbitt study funded by the city of Issaquah used
as its basis providing the same level of support to the PAA as the city provides to its current citizens. Next, Klahanie would be merely a suburb of Issaquah. Again, in its wisdom and fairness, the main concept of the study was to insure that, after annexation the new city of Issaquah would be a homogeneous city as has been the case after past annexations. When the state Boundary Review Board found that a vote by the PAA to annex was justified, that unanimous decision affirmed that a positive vote would result in a viable new city which would be beneficial to the current city and to the PAA residents as well. Next is the issue issue that transportation projects of the PAA would be given short shrift. Not so. Future projects would be treated as part of the ongoing priorities of the entire city. To the fire service issue, after some 10 years of zero interest in the PAA, Sammamish developed a significant interest in us when our added revenue would permit the possibility of withdrawing from Eastside Fire & Rescue (to the harm of

the other members of the consortium) in order to establish their own fire department. Where was the love for the PAA before they needed us? Now to a really important assertion by Mr. Kappler – the assertion that Sammamish has no debt and will solve all future needs through its superior management abilities. If this is so, why then is its current tax rate higher than Issaquah’s? Considering the minimal business base Sammamish has to support future funding needs, guess where funds have to come from? Increased property taxes. When the vote comes on Feb. 11, the citizens of the PAA need to base their vote on honest and legitimate reasons, even including an emotional attachment to a city, be it Issaquah or the belief that eventually it could be Sammamish. But at least make it unencumbered by unsupported allegations and inappropriate assumptions. Dick L’Heureux, Mike Foss, Rob Young, and Brent Marshall are Klahanie PAA residents.

Mercy Corps has recently reached out to the Philippine victims, helping more than 18,000 people in some of the most remote areas of devastation. O’Neill said they have focused a lot of their attention on children who have gone through traumatic experiences, such as losing a loved one. “After 9/11 in New York, when so many kids were particularly vulnerable to trauma, we came up with a response called ‘Comfort for Kids,’” O’Neill said. The program provides tools and resources to children and their caretakers to help deal with the psychological shock of traumatic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and war. The program is up and running for Syrian refugees in both Lebanon and Jordan. Locally, Mercy Corps is assisting immigrants, povertystricken people and incarcerated women who are about to be released through Mercy Corps Northwest. Their programs work to increase economic selfsufficiency and community in•

tegration through development and self-employment. Their goal is to reduce unemployment, grow personal incomes and increase economic growth. O’Neill said the most visible thing Mercy Corps does is offer donors the opportunity to provide a life-changing gift to someone in need. The gifts range in price and help people in an different areas of need, from education to vaccinations. “It’s a donation, but it’s something that people can see put in front of them and say, ‘I’m participating in this,’” O’Neill explained. Mercy Corps is in 42 countries with a staff of about 4,000–95 percent of whom are from the countries where Mercy Corps works. O’Neill has been to over 75 counties and lived overseas for periods of up to two years. And while traveling is a huge part of his life, O’Neill said he always ends up at his Sammamish home where he has lived for 27 years. “Coming back to familiar territory is a good thing,” O’Neill said.

O’Neill said that he hopes Mercy Corps will continue to adapt to the rapid change in the world and continue the legacy of risk-taking innovation, all with the hope of reaching out to the world’s “bottom billion.” “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing positive change,” he said. “One person can make a huge difference in people’s lives.” O’Neill referenced Helen Keller, stating that while the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

At the board meeting, superintendent Ron Thiele reported yet another clean audit for the district – the 11th year in row. He said the district is conducting a comprehensive safety and security assessment at all school district sites to ensure staff maintains a culture of highly ethical principles.

The result of the healthy youth survey, which was given to students in grades 6, 8 and 10, revealed that those students feel a bit less safe since Newtown. The statistics for seniors is not quite accurate because only two of the high schools received the correct survey. More cheating, less bullying and fewer incidents involving weapons also were reported in the survey. Unexcused absences remained static at 0.2 percent from the past two surveys, graduation rates are up and ISD has a very good track record of recycling and sustainability.

formed to write the pro and con statements. Writing the statement in favor of annexation are Klahanie residents Dick L'Heureux and Michael Foss. The statement against annexation will be written by former Issaquah City Council member David Kappler, along with Mark Seely from the citizen group Klahanie Choice. The committees can seek advice and input from others, but those names would not appear on the statement. Pro and con statements also will be prepared for the bag ban reversal controversy.
The con committee, or those who oppose the repeal of the ban on plastic bags, will consist of Sen. Mark Mullet, who originally proposed the ban while still on Issaquah's City Council, and Susan Thoman, with Cedar Grove, an all organic composting company based in Seattle. Writing the pro statement to support the repeal is Craig Keller, a West Seattle resident who maintains a P.O. box in Issaquah. He was successful in getting enough signatures on a petition to get the issue on the ballot. Joining him will be Tim Eaves.

The final Issaquah City Council wrapped up a number of issues in its last meeting of 2013. n Polygon Northwest, which purchased the 63 acres in the Issaquah Highlands from Microsoft earlier this year for $54 million, will begin negotiations with the city on a development agreement. The property is eligible for 1.2 million square feet of commercial development and 265 housing units under the Highlands development agreement which expires in 2017. Keith Niven, the city’s director of economic development said Polygon wants to build 365 units, and no more. The parcel is a TDR (transfer of development rights) receiving site, so Polygon would have to acquire 100 TDRs to make the plan work. Council’s action directed staff to come up with an agreement the city and Polygon can both live with — it did not grant any new entitlements. The council’s Land and Shore committee will provide monthly oversight. n Fees for land use permits will go up effective April 1, 2014. Phasing in the increases, which was previously discussed, is off the table.
A preliminary plat fee would rise from $16,208 to $17,000 for less than 15 lots, or $22,000 for more than 15 lots. A single family lot line adjustment will jump from $607.80 to $1,500. The goal is 100 percent cost recovery overall for the city, not per developer. The city needs $400,000 in additional fees so the general fund isn’t tapped to cover losses. David Favour, development services deputy director for the city, said the average homeowner will still have an easy path. The fees that are going up are for complex developments that usually involve some sort of environmentally sensitive areas, he said. The fees that are increasing are for land use such as moving lot lines and creating plats, not building construction. "Nobody likes to see fees or taxes go up," said council member Tola Marts. "Take a look at the budget process; it's these type of decisions that have allowed Issaquah to meet the economic challenges of the last several years.” n The King County Council gave the go-ahead for the annexation of Klahanie and surrounding areas to appear on the Feb. 11, 2014 ballot, at its meeting Monday, Dec. 16. For purposes of the King County election pamphlet, committees of two were

Get into the Christmas spirit and volunteer!
t goes without saying that during the Christmas season we think a lot about our loved ones. But this year, if you have the time, you could also think about helping out in your community. There’s no better way of getting into the Christmas spirit than by offering our help to those less fortunate than ourselves. One possibility would be to give some of your time to an organization collect-
ing donations for the poor. Because of all those Christmas parties, shopping for gifts, etc., volunteers are in short supply. But what could be nicer than spreading a bit of happiness among those who don’t have the means to celebrate Christmas?

Fudge can be layered between waxed paper in airtight container and stored for up to two weeks.

Wolves after more hardware in pool as Kim takes final lap
500 free. Kim won the 4A state title in the 50 free his freshman year, to go with another in the 100 free to help the Wolves to a fifth place team finish. It was the 200 free and 100 backstroke as a sophomore and last year, another win in the 50 free and his first in the 100 butterfly, both coming in Automatic All-American qualifying times. Despite swimming in only one of the Wolves’ first three meets due to club team obligations, Kim deftly secured places in the state field for the 200 free and 100 free. “I love representing and I feel like the whole team is the same way,” he said. “Everyone is going to feel it and step up.” Plenty of the Wolves will have a chance to join the pack at state, with nine swimmers qualified for districts.

Eastlake’s Edward Kim has been a constant in the pool for the past three seasons. The senior has captured the maximum six individual state championships while leading the Wolves to three top10 team finishes at the 4A state meet. But when he thinks back to his introduction to the Eastlake program, it is the camaraderie he remembers most. “When I was a freshman, I used to look up to all those juniors and seniors,” he said. “I want to give that back to the freshmen here.” Kim and the Wolves look to have a contingent once again capable of bringing home hardware from King County Aquatic Center. “This year is going to be our best year,” Kim said. “We have a big year ahead of us to go out and show what Eastlake is made of.” Only three meets into the season, coach Kate Angew’s squad has done exactly that.
