CANCER SUPPORT

Sammamish resident opens brain tumor support center The Chris Elliott Fund had a monumental moment last Friday, Jan. 3, when it opened the doors of the new Brain Tumor Patient and Family Support Services Center in Redmond. The organization was started in 2002 by Sammamish residents Chris and Dellann Elliott three weeks before Chris passed away from the deadliest form of brain tumor. Dellann said that in his last days Chris made the request to do something about the disease. “While going through this disease with my husband, we

This number eventually grew to about 300 inquiries. “I personally responded to and met with each person who reached out for help from me for 10 years,” she said. Dellann was able to hire a Health Information Concierge for 20 hours a week in order to assist her, and eventually the Christ Elliott Fund acquired six employees to help with support services. “We spent 10 years on the Sammamish Plateau delivering brain tumor patient support services as well as creating educational materials to a local and

experienced and realized that it was the norm for brain tumor patients to not be referred to dedicated brain tumor specialists or centers and it was the norm to not encourage clinical trials and advanced treatments as options for the disease,” Dellann said. The non-profit organization focuses on brain cancer and brain tumor patient advocacy, with the ultimate mission of ending the disease. Help is offered free of charge. The first person assisted was John Brace. It was three weeks after Chris’ funeral. Brace had just had his brain tumor removed and wanted to know what to do next. Dellann began

Margaret Macleod, who received the Ruth Kees award in 2013 for her environmental efforts, died Dec. 26 after a long battle with metastatic lung cancer. She was 61. The award was named after Kees, who set the standard for pursuing the Margaret Macleod vision of a sustainable Issaquah. Macleod moved to the Puget Sound area in 1993 from Santa Barbara. She worked for the city of Issaquah for 20 years as a park planner. During her time with the city, Macleod helped secure a series of grants that set aside hundreds of acres along Issaquah Creek and adjoining upland areas on Squak and Tiger mountains for protection

Sammamish City Council reconvenes, wrestles with proposed fire agreement Tom Vance elected mayor, Kathy Huckabay deputy mayor BY KELLY MONTGOMERY KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Fred Butler takes the oath of office as the new mayor of Issaquah from Judge N. Scott Stewart on Monday, Jan. 6. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

BUTLER BEGINS RUN AS MAYOR BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Although he said he was sad to leave his post on the Issaquah City Council, Fred Butler, the new mayor of Issaquah, said he was honored in the trust the citizens of Issaquah have placed in him. “I will do my best to serve with wisdom and compassion,” Butler said as he was sworn in Monday night. He continued by recognizing former Mayor Ava Frisinger, saying she set an outstanding example he hopes to emulate. He also acknowledged the “outstanding” city employees and said he looked forward to the challenges that lie ahead. Also taking the oath of office were the newest City Council member, Mary Lou Pauly, and returning councilmembers Eileen Barber, Stacy Goodman and Tola Marts. All of them ran unopposed and will

Steve Litzow

serve until the end of 2017. Councilmember Paul Winterstein was nominated to be the new council president by Marts, and was elected unanimously. Goodman will serve as deputy council president, also an unanimous decision. The Issaquah City Council is still short one member, due to Butler’s election as mayor. The city is now taking applications from community members who are interested in serving the rest of the term. Applicants must be at least 18-years-old, a registered voter and resident of Issaquah for at least one year. The term expires in November 2015. The application is on the city’s website, and must be submitted with a letter of interest by Jan. 15. Applicants will give a 10-minute presentation at the Jan. 21 city council meeting. The council is expected to fill the vacancy at its Feb. 3 meeting, swearing in the newest member at that time.

The meeting began with council members Don Gerend, Kathy Huckabay, Bob Kellar and former mayor Tom Odell taking the oath of office. From there, the council proceeded to elect a new mayor and deputy mayor. Huckabay nominated Tom Vance and Gerend nominated Nancy Whitten. Council member Vance was elected with five of the votes and will serve as mayor for the next two years. Former deputy mayor Ramiro Valderrama nominated Gerend to take over his position, stating he brings not only the experience but the insight as he continues to work tirelessly for the city. Kellar followed with the nomination of Huckabay. In a vote of 5-3, Huckabay was elected as the new deputy mayor and will serve for the next year.

EFR Interlocal Agreement The newly modified Eastside Fire and Rescue Interlocal Agreement has been modified and presented, but some council members are still concerned. Council member Huckabay said she is disappointed in the agreement, stating there is no clear understanding of who is going to make key decisions. She said that she has received a lot of feedback from community members who are

concerned about the Pine Lake station, wondering if trucks will be able to get to certain remote areas in a timely manner. “People are very concerned with the reduced service level,” Huckabay said. Huckabay was also concerned with Section 16.3 that deals with equipment upon a partner’s withdrawal. “It would seem that this would be an opportunity to take to clarify the language,” she said. According to the council, District 10 and North Bend have already passed the interlocal agreement. District 38 is in the process of scheduling a vote and the city of Issaquah will vote on Jan. 21. Mike Kenyon, the Sammamish city attorney, said the main question at this point is whether there are substantive changes that the Sammamish City Council wants to make. Councilmember Whitten nodded her head, saying there are in fact changes in the agreement that she wants to see. Kenyon mentioned that EFR may form an operations committee to discuss some key concerns. The discussion was postponed until the council’s special study session next week where council members will present their drafted questions and concerns.

City Manager Report City manager Ben Yacizi informed the council that Sammamish resident Mary Piggott donated $1 million to the YMCA community center project. She is also the one who donated the land for Big Rock Park which opened in October 2011.

Looking Back

The long watch: Issaquah’s role in Cold War defense BY L. LAILE DI SILVESTRO SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Researcher Doug Bristol will present stories about the Cold War era Nike missile sites on nearby Cougar Mountain at a history program at 11 a.m. on Jan. 18 at the Issaquah Depot Museum, 78 First Ave. N.E. A full-size Nike missile mockup will be on display. The Gilman Town Hall Museum has exhibits covering the Cold War era in Issaquah, as well as the World War II aircraft surveillance log. It is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at 165 S.E. Andrews St. these sites, and many were unaware of their presence and of the dangers they posed. Nevertheless, Cold War maps of nuclear targets placed Issaquah in the crosshairs. Despite the nuclear danger, Issaquah embraced the Cold War atmosphere and thrived. George Rowley Sr. built more than 300 homes on Squak Mountain. Issaquah’s population grew to 1,870 in 1960 and reached 5,536 by 1980. In the area where Costco now stands, a new flight training school enrolled World War II soldiers funded by the GI bill. A government plane showered 30,000 leaflets onto residents as part of a Cold War communications test in 1951, and in 1978 the school district banned J.D. Salinger’s "Catcher in the Rye" as “part of an overall Communist plot.” Yet, as Issaquah grew and prospered, its Cold War defense systems decayed. Hiking trails followed fraying electric cables up to nearby peaks. Bark consumed rungs climbing a trunk to a tree-top antenna. The aircraft defense system was dismantled and cell phone towers and modern microwave relay stations replaced the Cold War communications systems. Eventually "Catcher in the Rye" became required reading. Issaquah’s Cold War era sites may no longer provide intelligence on enemy activity, but through a historian’s lens they can reveal a different kind of intelligence about the past and a community’s response to the threat of war. L. Laile Di Silvestro is a volunteer with the Issaquah History Museums. More information is available at issaquahhistory.org

In the early 1950s, Edward Seil was town marshal in an Issaquah that about 1,000 people called home. Known locally as “Nogs,” Seil dealt effectively with small-town criminals by housing them in jail overnight and feeding them breakfast with a stern lecture in the morning. Meanwhile, the region was dealing with a more global threat. Nearby Seattle was a sizable population center and major producer of military aircraft. It seemed an obvious target for Russia’s new long-range jet aircraft, capable of carrying atomic missiles. The military needed elevated sites for electronic surveillance and missile defense. The terrain around the small town of Issaquah was perfect for this role. Issaquah was no stranger to wartime surveillance. During World War II, residents set up a “spotters tower” and took turns watching for enemy aircraft. Issaquah resident Viola White Peterson remembered, “High School students were excused from class to man the aircraft warning tower on top of the fire hall.” By the 1950s, surveillance technology had advanced considerably beyond a pair of binoculars on a tower. Nevertheless, aircraft spotters participating in the Ground Observer Corps remained alert at Beaver Lake and Pine Lake until 1959, purportedly calling in any aircraft they spotted, all of which were friendly. According to Phil Dougherty of the Sammamish Heritage Society, residents also watched neighbors who appeared to have Communist leanings, and in at least one case attracted the attention of the FBI. Meanwhile, the military began to install state-of-the-art surveillance technology on nearby peaks. Interception and relaying of radio communications was paramount, so electric cables were run up Tiger Mountain and Squak Mountain to antennas. Microwave installations came soon after. In 1953, the military placed anti-aircraft guns on nearby Cougar Mountain. In 1957, the military replaced the guns with target and missile tracking radar, and installed a Nike missile launch site about a mile downhill to the southeast. No Issaquah residents are known to have contributed to the installation or operation of

BOEING

A tough vote, but the right one, by Machinists

embers of the Machinists union did the right thing Jan. 3 by voting to approve a contract extension offered by Boeing. The 51 percent “yes” vote means the 777X jetliner will be built in Everett, securing high-paying jobs throughout the region. We know this was a difficult vote for union members. The company’s contract extension came with a number of takeaways, including changes to the workers’ pension benefits. As difficult as that was to accept, it reflects changes going on in businesses throughout the country. To soften the blow, Boeing workers will get a $10,000 bonus immediately. While the contract vote was up to Boeing workers, thousands of other workers throughout the region had a stake in the outcome, too. Many companies provide parts and services for Boeing planes. Those jobs also were on the line The same can be said of the region as a whole, which benefits from the pay Boeing workers take home – and spend on everything from groceries to new cars. The vote also means Boeing no longer is wooing other cities and states for the 777X work. As Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner rightly noted, “Thanks to this vote by our employees, the future of Boeing in the Puget Sound region has never looked brighter.” That is evident from the next step Boeing will take for production of the 777X – investing up to $4 billion to construct a 1.1 million-square-foot facility in the state to build the airplane’s wings. That also means 3,000 jobs at peak production in 2024. Those jobs – and that future – will remain here, thanks to the vote by Machinists union members. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Another Eastside Catholic teacher says she’s gay, engaged

A second teacher at Eastside Catholic School has announced that she is gay and engaged to her partner. Stephanie Merrow teaches part-time at the school and is choreographing the school's musical. The news follows the Dec. 19 firing of Mark Zmuda, the school's vice principal, after it became known he had married his gay partner. The school said Zmuda violated a contract he signed with the school to adhere to teachings of the Catholic church. Students

and restoration. Macleod also worked closely with the Mountain to Sound Greenway, the state Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Forest Service to set aside lands for the Greenway trail along I-90 in King County. Doug McClelland, assistant regional manager for the South Puget Sound Region of the DNR, knew her well. “She was an inter-agency coordinator and she became friends with all of us,” McClelland said. “She was really good at bringing people together.” He said even though she was employed with the city of Issaquah, her salary was funded by all of the related agencies – King County, DNR, the forest service, state parks and the cities of Issaquah and Seattle.

Lake Washington schools seeking volunteers The Lake Washington School District’s LINKS program is seeking volunteers to help students. Volunteers meet once a week with a student or a small group of students to practice math, reading, writing or science. Volunteer opportunities include being an academic mentor, providing classroom help, or tutoring students during after school study programs. Volunteers are needed throughout Sammamish, Kirkland and Redmond. Currently, LINKS has 40 unmet requests for volunteers. The requests range from kindergarten through high school.

at Eastside Catholic, and other schools, have protested the firing. Merrow said she doesn't think she signed the same contract that Zmuda did, since she works part time. “What I signed just said I’d go with the Catholic teachings, which, from what I understand are love and following the words of Jesus Christ, which I had no problem with. I’m not Catholic, I told them I wasn’t Catholic, but it didn’t say anything about not being gay.” Merrow said she was concerned about said Macleod was wonderful at writing — and securing — grants. “She was responsible for the open parcels we have now,” Kappler said. “She secured tens of millions of dollars in grants not only for Issaquah but also property around the Mountain to Sound Greenway. She was also a wonderful woman to be around; she will be missed.” Kappler said there was a very well attended gathering Jan. 5 in her honor at the trail house near the community center, where many people remembered her fondly. McClelland and Kappler both said the lung cancer diagnosis was a surprise since Macleod didn’t smoke. McClelland added that she was already at stage four when it was caught. An avid swimmer, runner and hiker, she became concerned when she couldn’t catch her breath. Macleod is survived by her husband, Stephen Stanley, who works for the Washington State Department of Ecology as a wetland expert, and two sons, Scott and Rory Stanley.

Elementary school requests include classroom volunteers to help kids with reading, writing and math. Middle and high school staff have requested volunteers to work with students during lunch-time and after school study programs. While some students are struggling with science and math, others need help with writing and organizational skills. Organizational skills help students keep track of assignments and test dates. More information is available on the LINKS page on the Lake Washington School District website (www.lwsd.org). To register for an upcoming volunteer orientation, email Nanci Wehr at nwehr@lwsd.org or call 425936-1410.

how the school would react to her engagement, but she said she went into the school Tuesday, Jan. 7, for rehearsal. “They (the school) have not contacted me at all,” Merrow said. “I walked right in and did my job, and walked right out. I didn’t try to make a big deal about it. No one stopped me or said anything. The kids hugged me.” Merrow said she knew that once her situation was revealed it would be a big deal, but said she wasn’t going to lie because that went against her beliefs and values.

“This generation (of students) just absolutely warms my heart," Merrow said. "The fact that they walked out for (Zmuda) and that they protested and are making a huge statement. I love those kids, even the ones that don’t agree with gay marriage, I still love them. I couldn’t be more proud of those kids.” Attempts by The Reporter to contact the school's attorney were unsuccessful by deadline. Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363.

New, larger Karate West still at home in Issaquah BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

For Randy Holeman, it isn’t about the flashy finishes. Of course, the state-of-the-art fabric duct system, new locker rooms and 9,000 square feet between its two newly zoned and constructed buildings are nice. But what makes the new site of Karate West special for Holeman, who opened the dojo with his wife Jan more than two decades ago, is the chance to come home. After opening in the current Dominos Pizza location in downtown Issaquah back in 1989, Karate West quickly outgrew its roots, moving to a larger space down E. Lake Sammamish Pkwy. That parcel eventually got annexed to Sammamish and when it also became too small to accommodate the always growing number of youth, parents and experienced martial arts practitioners who frequent the dojo, Holeman saw an opportunity. “I picked Issaquah because of what it offered,” he said of locating the gym there decades ago. “It is a family community.” Ginni Crawford and her family don’t call Issaquah home, and took a roundabout path to Karate West. But their story is representative of countless others over the years. “We drove to five or six other martial arts

Her son, five-years-old at the time and described by Crawford as, “very shy,” was having an especially difficult time with his father’s illness. “When we got to Karate West, (manager) Ken (Watrous) walked up and shook my son’s hand,” she said. “It was a perfect match.” For more than 15 years, as her kids grew up and became adults, and through

the most difficult time in their lives, the synergy only grew. Crawford, who said she had trained in a different style of Karate previously, began attending classes a year after her son at Karate West. Along with the emphasis on traditional and basic techniques, Crawford said she has been impressed with Holeman’s willingness to ensure students of all ages and ability levels can grow their skills and more importantly, their confidence. “It is almost as if they teach karate on the side, with life-skills as the main focus,” she said. “Every parent looks for that type of setup.” Sammamish resident Kara Hobbs was no exception, and said her children were

eager to find a place to continue practicing the sport they had come to love while living in Los Angeles. When she heard about the programs at instructors at Karate West through word-of-mouth, they decided to give it a try. Nearly seven years later, Hobbs is a black belt and her 12-year-old is set to earn one in short order, with those accomplishments telling only a small part of the story. “You can learn self-defense anywhere,” she said. “What Ken and Sensei Holeman bring to the table is a way of life — being responsible, respectful, having a goal and working hard to achieve it.” Those principles have been the pillars of Karate West in each of its past lives around Issaquah and with its new facility providing 40 percent more training space and 9,000 square feet of over three separate floors, Holeman said instructors will be able to provide more efficient instruction to even more students. While the building is new, the connection Karate West has to Issaquah has not changed despite the three moves. Holeman said he does not allow youths to test for black belts unless they are maintaining a 3.0 grade point average, and requires students be passing all of their classes in order to test for any belt. To that ends, Karate West established a scholarship fund and has given out more than $250,000 in $1,000 scholarships over the past 25 years. The only requirements for eligibility are graduating from high school with a 3.0 GPA and earning a black belt. “It is what we’re all about,” Holeman said, adding the dojo also hosts a program called, “Academic All-Stars,” where students are encouraged toward high achievement in school and offered assistance with studying techniques. “We really believe being a black belt between the ears is more important than being one between the fists.”

Library director resigns to take post in Canada Bill Ptacek helped system grow to become one of best in nation

Bill Ptacek, director of the King County Library System since 1989, has resigned, effective Feb. 1, 2014, to become CEO of the Calgary Public Library in Alberta, Canada. During his 25-year tenure, Ptacek’s vision for technology and collection

management kept the library system in the forefront of public libraries nationally. In 1990, it operated 36 community libraries with an annual circulation above nine million items.

Voter-approved capital improvement bond measures (passed in 1988 and 2004) funded new, replacement and expanded libraries, adding nearly 515,000 square feet of library space, while annual circulation grew to more than 22 million items. Voters also passed a one-year levy increase during the 2009 economic crisis, demonstrating the community’s support of the system.

The fund is now looked upon nationally as an expert in the field and recently has been asked to set up a patient support center in Boston, Dellann said. “The ultimate goal of the Chris Elliott Fund is to end brain cancer through education, awareness, advocacy and research through our day to day direct patient support services and through public education,” Dellann said. “Through these means, CEF can get brain tumor patients into advanced treatments and clinical trials immediately and make genomic testing and DNA sequencing part of the standard protocol for each brain tumor patient.” Once these goals are achieved, Dellann said, pharmaceutical companies will invest more money into various options

It was named Busiest Library in 2010 and Library Journal’s 2011 Library of the Year. “For Bill, this is a great opportunity to take on exciting new challenges…and it’s not easy to top the challenges Bill has tackled with KCLS. We are sorry to see him go,” said KCLS Board Chair Lucy Krakowiak. Julie Brand, director of community relations and marketing, has been appointed to serve as interim director until a new director is hired.

for brain cancer patients, giving them more treatment outlets. Her goal is to turn the treatment of the disease into more of a maintenance approach until, ultimately, a cure can be found. Former Sammamish city council member John Curley is on the Chris Elliott Fund Advocacy Board and Kathy Huckabay, newly re-appointed Sammamish City Council member, has been a long-time supporter, said Dellann. The vice president of the organization, Tamara DePorter, is also a Sammamish resident. The Brain Tumor Patient and Family Support Services Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The organization is always accepting new patients and inquiries. Those who wish to donate can send a check made out to Chris Elliott Fund to its new headquarters at 14959 N.E. 95th St. Redmond 98052.
