TRAFFIC WOES
Parkway project threatens one man’s livelihood BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
No one will argue that traffic in Issaquah is becoming unbearable, particularly around the Southeast 56th Street/East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, Pickering Place, Costco chaos. The city’s engineers have been designing the North Issaquah Transportation Network improvements, also known as LID 25 for some time. The project, which has yet to get off the ground, includes widening East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, installing a roundabout at Southeast 62nd Street and 221st Place Southeast, and punching through a new road across Issaquah Creek to alleviate some of the pressure. That would provide yet another access to Costco and other Pickering Place businesses. But there is a human side to this story: the taking of people’s land. Randy Bass, 66, was born and raised in Issaquah, and now splits his time between Issaquah and Ellensburg where he owns a ranch and raises cattle. His family lived on the Plateau before moving to Black Nugget Ranch. The family built the last mile of Black Nugget Road.
Bass speaks at the Issaquah City Council meeting. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter “My dad had 200 acres he bought in the ‘50s, which we had to sell in the ‘90s to pay estate taxes,” Bass said. He bought his property on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast in 1974. There he owns “Truck Country,” established in 1998, which includes mini-storage units, boat and RV storage, rental of moving trucks and moving supplies. He bought the property – with a house on it – from the Tibbetts family. He donated 62nd Street to the city several years ago, he said. At the Jan. 21 Issaquah City Council
meeting, Sheldon Lynne, the city’s director of engineering, spoke to the council about part of the overall project that could be considered a stand-alone project with outside funding. The project includes adding curb, gutter, sidewalks, a bike lane and a new southbound through-lane on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast from Southeast 56th St. to just north of Issaquah Fall-City Road. Lynne estimates the project will cost $7.5 million. The city already has secured a grant from the Puget Sound Regional Council for $975,000. The agency is the conduit for federal money. Lynne informed the City Council of the need to move quickly to accept a $3.4 million award from the state’s Transportation Improvement Board. Having the TIB grant in place will strengthen the city’s case if it wants to pursue another PSRC grant for $2 million, which it must apply for in March. The city has to have all of its funding for the project in place by November 2014 or the transportation grant would be pulled. Depending on the $2 million from PSRC, the city will either be expected to pay $3.1 million or $1.1 million toward the proSEE PARKWAY, 6
Eastside Fire Fighters are building a case against former Sammamish Mayor Tom Odell and members of the Sammamish Technical Advisory Board (TAB) for what it says are potential violations of the state’s Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA). The advisory board was chaired by Kathy Huckabay, who is now Sammamish’s deputy mayor. “We have copies of emails that indicate former Mayor Tom Odell, chair Kathy Huckabay and other members of the TAB violated OPMA,” said SaNni M-K Lemonidis, the attorney for Eastside Fire Fighters. Jon Wiseman, president of Eastside Fire Fighters, said that back when discussions of EFR started, there was a lot of information that wasn’t disclosed to the public. They had their attorney look into the situation, and Wiseman said he found multiple emails between TAB members that he says violated the OPMA. Wiseman said that while they brought this information up a couple months ago, they decided to take a stance now due to a concern for the public. “It really comes down to the public has a right to know who SEE LEGAL ACTION, 8

Boutique wineries springing up in Issaquah and surrounding areas WINE WALK RETURNS
BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
I
t’s no secret that Washington has established itself as a premiere wine destination, with over 43,000 acres of planted vineyards, mostly in eastern Washington, where the geography and conditions are ripe for producing good fruit. Several small, or boutique wineries, exist right here in our backyard, all of them sourcing their grapes from one of the 13 American viticultural areas (AVAs) in the state. Scott and Margaret Fivash started making wine in 2006, releasing their first vintage at the end of 2010. Located in Sammamish at 602 234th Ave. S.E., Scott turned his once wood shop/man cave into what is now filled with 100 barrels of wine. Scott said he was a wine collector, but as the former publisher of Washington CEO magazine, a feature on the “Best of Washington Wines” lit the fire. The couple moved to Walla-Walla to learn more about the business. Margaret earned an Associate of Applied Arts degree in Enology and Viticulture at Walla-Walla Community College Institute for Enology and Viticulture and Scott attended the Wine Executive program at UC Davis. They both worked at various wineries for three years to gain experience. They moved back to their property in Sammamish in 2009 and decided to have the winery there on what he calls their hobby

farm, complete with miniature horses and llamas. They source most of their grapes from Walla Walla, but they get their Chardonnay from Prosser, with plans to grow their own Chardonnay grapes at the farm. Fivash has a huge selection including the very well-received C-Star, a Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The Wood shop Red, named after the old shop/man-cave is a blend of Syrah, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Fivash also produces a rosé. Tastings are mostly by appointment and are held in their home on Fridays until 6 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Isenhower to challenge Hill for state Senate Matt Isenhower, a U.S. Navy veteran and businessman, has announced his decision to run against incumbent Andy Hill (R-Redmond) for state Senate in the 45th Legislative District, which includes the Sammamish area. Isenhower, a Democrat, grew up in Sammamish and graduated from Redmond High School before earning a BS from the United States Naval Academy. Isenhower served as a naval officer and eventually earned his MBA from Harvard before returning home to raise a family.
As a naval officer, Isenhower served aboard the USS Winston S. Churchill protecting international shipping lanes. He later served at the Pentagon, coordinating crisis response activities with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Fleet Commanders. In the private sector, Isenhower led a turnaround in an organization of 1,500 employees. Currently he works at Amazon.com. Isenhower serves on the King County Veterans Program Advisory Board and as a trustee of the Lake Washington Schools Foundation.
Cedars Winery is a now part of their property, after Rod, a retired carpenter, built the winery off the back of the garage. Rod said they started making wine as an experiment, “The first time I made wine everybody liked it, so we kept going,” he said. He wanted to learn more so he attended the Northwest Wine Academy at South Seattle Community College. The year 2013 was the couple’s fifth as a licensed winery. They produced 330 cases in 2013. The 2010 Twin Cedars Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot both won gold at the Seattle Wine Awards, although Rod said the 2011 Syrah has been their best seller. They just completed bottling of a 2013 Muscat, which is a semi-sweet dessert wine since the 2012 Muscat sold out. Dona and the entire family help out. They
have tastings Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. at 26504 S.E. 146th St., Issaquah. For more information visit twincedarswinery.com Chuck Laird at Passion Vineyards sources from Spring Creek in the Red Mountain area of eastern Washington. He, too, started making wine as a hobby. He won a gold medal for his 2006 red blend from Wine Press Northwest. The 2006 Syrah Row 19 also received two separate bronze medals and recently, the 2009 Syrah received a silver medal at the Sunset Magazine International competition. Karla Laird, an artist and photographer, designs all of their artistic and colorful labels. Passion Vineyards produces about 500 cases of different varietals every year. Presently, they do not have a tasting room. For more information visit passionvineyards.com. Estrin Estates in Issaquah is run by Rich and Violet Estrin. Rich is the selftaught winemaker, starting out making wine as a hobby in 2007. In 2009 they became commercial, and now produce about 300 cases per year. Rich said their passion is red wines, producing a Cabernet Franc, a Merlot based-blend, two Cabernet Sauvignons and a Syrah. Rich also has a day job as a software developer, but that doesn’t seem to slow them down. Their 2010 Syrah made Seattle Met’s list of top 20 Washington Wines under $25 last year and the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon won gold at the Seattle Wine Awards. They don’t have a tasting room, but they frequently have tastings at Capri Cellars, and they will be participating in the Feb. 7 wine walk in downtown Issaquah.

EDUCATION
Governor puts education, taxes back on Legislature’s table
G
ov. Jay Inslee’s call to raise money for schools by closing tax breaks put the education funding debate back in the laps of lawmakers this week and in the conversation with voters this fall. Inslee’s plan to generate $200 million in new taxes by eliminating or revising seven exemptions is a slimmed down version of the billion-dollar plus tax package rejected by a Republican-led majority in the Senate a year ago. There’s no evidence things will turn out differently for him and his Democrat allies in 2014 because the balance of power is the same. Republicans say lawmakers put roughly $1 billion additional dollars into schools in 2013 and can wait to make another hefty Jerry Cornfield investment in 2015. Inslee didn’t seem concerned about the prospect of another defeat when he unveiled his scheme Tuesday. Rather, he sounded as if he was test-driving messages Democrats can use this fall as the party tries to regain a working majority in the Senate. And he cast Republicans as a reluctant bunch whose minds might change before the Legislature is set to adjourn in early March. “The other party has said they don’t want to spend another dime on our children’s education this year,” he told reporters, adding later he hoped it was only “a temporary condition.” And he suggested lawmakers are wrong to think voting for his tax plan to fund schools will doom their re-election. “I believe very deeply that it is a winning issue for a candidate to face his public and say ‘I stood up for funding our schools and our kids’,” he said. “I will tell you candidates who do that are going to win elections this November. I believe this is where the people are (at) in the state of Washington.” Time will tell if he’s right.

The case for annexation
M
uch of our region is abuzz about the pending vote for Klahanie residents, who now have the choice to annex to the city of Issaquah or remain unincorporated and pursue other options. When moving the topic forward in 2013, the City Council had the opportunity to annex Klahanie automatically, with simply a vote of seven council members. Instead, they opted to move the issue to the ballot, providing Klahanie voters a choice through a direct vote. Matt Bott A “yes” vote means Issaquah annexation. A “no” vote means remaining unincorporated and potentially starting the process over with another city. We believe there is a strong case for voting “yes” on Issaquah annexation. First, Klahanie residents will get increased local services, including enhanced police coverage, snow removal, transportation improvements and parks maintenance – plus lower taxes. Issaquah is a well-managed city with considerable amenities including a thriving business community including an historic

There is a great deal of pride in the community among businesses and residents alike, and a strong sense of civic responsibility and community involvement. It is part of the 122-year old Issaquah brand, recognized by Sunset Magazine’s recent ranking of Issaquah in its February 2014 “Best Places to Live in the West” edition. The existing connection between Klahanie and Issaquah is strong. Klahanie citizens serve on city commissions, on the Issaquah Chamber board and in numerous Issaquah-based activities. Annexing to Issaquah gives Klahanie voters an opportunity to officially join an outstanding city – one that has received numerous accolades for its quality of life, its responsible planning, its citizen engagement and more. Having your place of residence or business officially within the Issaquah boundaries is a good decision. We urge a “yes” vote this election.

BY STEVEN E. KAHN, M.D. iabetes and obesity are two epidemics that our country faces today. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in the United States there are currently 26 million individuals (over 8 percent of the population) over 20 years of age who have diabetes. Further, another 79 million have prediabetes, a high-risk condition. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been at the forefront in supporting studies that will inform us on how to prevent and treat type 2 diabetes, the form of diabetes that
is typically associated with being overweight and obesity. One of these studies, the Diabetes Prevention Program, demonstrated that it is possible to slow the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes Dr. Steven Kahn using a lifestyle intervention or metformin, a medication that is frequently used to treat individuals with type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, what the prevention program also showed is that it not possible to

quickly adapted and, overall, it was a success. Unfortunately, a group from West Seattle has decided that we cannot be trusted to run our own government. After two years of harassing citizens in front of supermarkets, knocking on doors at dinner time and leaving trash on our cars at park-and-rides they finally squeezed out the 2,600 signatures necessary to force a $50,000 election. This group from Seattle must not know that this law has prevented 10 million plastic bags from entering our landfills each year. Plastic bags, unlike paper bags or, say, coffee cups, do not biodegrade. Instead, they break into smaller and smaller particles, slowly poisoning any living thing that happens to ingest them. This group from Seattle must not know that the British study that they persistently cite is a perfect example of a poorly designed life-cycle analysis. The data they cherry pick focuses only on the carbon emitted during the manufacturing process. This same study actually concludes that when you take into account the sourcing of materials, the probability of recycling (0.6 percent for plastic bags), and the "end of life" scenario, plastic bags are the least environmentally conscious choice. This fringe group from Seattle must not know that the plastic bag ban has improved the health of our lake, our streams, our salmon and our citizens. Vote "no" on Proposition No. 1. Amanda Senft, Issasquah
Klahanie will gain by annexing to Issaquah I have developed a strong connection with the residents of Klahanie these past five years since my Zeeks Pizza restaurant and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream store opened in Issaquah. I hope the Klahanie residents are not fooled or distracted by the false information floating around during this annexation vote. Issaquah has an amazingly low property tax level because of all the successful retail stores like Costco and Target in the city limits. These retail establishments actually pay more towards city services through sales tax dollars than residents pay through property tax. Sammamish property taxes are 77 percent higher than Issaquah property taxes because Sammamish doesn’t have this same retail base. Sammamish is a city with great services and high taxes. Issaquah is a city with great services and low taxes. If Klahanie residents vote "yes,” they will immediately receive better services with a
Annexation vote must be 'yes' As Plateau residents, we have an interesting vote due Feb. 11. We must vote "yes" to annex our 18 jurisdictions in the Klahanie PAA to the city of Issaquah. Simply put, this is our last chance to do this. The city of Issaquah is prepared to annex us with a "yes" vote, and will not with a "no" vote. We have no guarantees past this, other than to stay unincorporated in King County. The process to get this election has taken over three years and hundreds of volunteer man-hours which your neighbors have conducted. This is not a comparison between Issaquah vs. Sammamish, and it concerns me that detractors from this effort continue to try and lead you to believe it is. If that were really true, there would not actually be a vote on Feb. 11 as Sammamish would have (and should have) gotten the annexation done years ago after the 2005 failed vote to Issaquah. Did they do it? Nope, not even a minor attempt. They are only stepping forward at the 11th hour to protect special interests and block Issaquah. That concerns me even more. I have been a resident in Klahanie for over 24 years. We deserve to lower our taxes. I can think of dozens of ways I’ll enjoy spending the approx. $1,000/year savings I’ll see in my household. And since we are paying for it, we deserve services we don’t really get today, like police, road services, repairs, and government representation. We deserve to be a city, and the only way to do this is to vote "yes" to annex to Issaquah. And by the way, two "yes" votes please; annexation and Issaquah school levies. Rob Young, Issaquah
Joining Issaquah makes sense Our family moved to Issaquah in 1987 living near Issaquah Valley Elementary School for 15 months while deciding to build a home in Klahanie. We grew attached to Issaquah and have always considered it our hometown. Our kids graduated from both Issaquah and Skyline high schools and they both consider Issaquah their home. We enjoy Issaquah for its outstanding shopping, eating, recreation and social opportunities. And, to put the icing on the cake, Issaquah was just chosen by Sunset Magazine as "the best suburb in the West." Please vote "yes" on annexation to Issaquah.

Meeting over firing of EC vice principal remains civil BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
A meeting for only parents of current Eastside Catholic School students Jan. 23 didn’t shed much new light on the school’s direction. As the backlash and sustained publicity over the firing of popular vice principal Mark Zmuda continues – including a front page story in the Jan. 23 New York Times, the school is sticking to its position.
“The board presented a pretty unified front – Mark is not coming back, EC is a Catholic school and will remain a Catholic school,” said alumni Corey Sinser, organizer of KeepmrZ2013. A statement from Eastside Catholic states that “the Eastside Catholic Board of Trustees reaffirmed that the school will not be rehiring Zmuda. The board stated that Mr. Zmuda has acknowledged he was aware of Catholic doctrine and further knew he was not in full compliance with his employment agreement.” Zmuda was fired for marrying his gay partner last summer. Gay marriage is not recognized by the Catholic church. “At the parent and faculty meeting, the board reiterated that the school is focused on a positive path forward guided by its three touchstones of: academic excellence, relationships and servant leadership,” the statement contin-
ued. “Eastside Catholic will remain a Catholic school and will support the teachings of the Catholic Church.” Eastside Catholic Communications Manager Karen Hatch said the next president of the school will be Catholic. The former president, Sister Mary Tracy, resigned Monday, Jan. 20 for reasons unknown. Sinser said the board alluded to a more open dialogue between teachers and administration. However, it did not clarify what teachers/staff should be cognizant of regarding situations that may result in termination. He said many parents were in support of the school decision, but many are still bothered. “A lot of parents had hoped for a more enlightened perspective,” Sinser said. Hatch said the tone of the meeting was very calm and respectful.

biggest problem is I won’t be able to run my business under the model I have.” Bass figures he’ll have to redevelop the property, which is expensive in Issaquah. He said it will be very onerous for him. He said he has some income from his ranch and storage facilities in Ellensburg and Ephrata, but the Issaquah facility is his main source of income. Bass is in a position he’d really like not to be in, but he’s going to try to turn this “curse into a blessing.” He said the city could be helpful, or make the process of redevelopment hard for him. He’s had a short conversation with Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler, and has talked with Lynne and, so far, they have not been adversarial. However, Lynne made it clear that Bass would have to abide by city code like everyone else. If the entire North Issaquah Transportation Network improvements could get done in a timely manner, Lynne said the cost would be about $40-plus million. This issue will be revisited at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, at the regular Issaquah City Council meeting in council chambers.

Other sources include $760,000 from Lakeside Development, which it has already paid, and $1 million due to the city from Rowley Development by 2015. At the meeting, Bass told the council he started with nothing and lived on nothing to grow his business – and now they have to take it for “progress” and for Costco shoppers. He said the city is going to put him out of business. City officials said none of this is easy, but they will work with Bass and other property owners to “make them whole.” Bass figures he will lose a little less than an acre and a half by condemnation. “Sheldon has made a commitment to make me whole, but that’s a relative term,” Bass said. “We’ll see how that works.

HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and
says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

‘The Foreigner’ guaranteed to lift the winter blues BY LINDA BALL
LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Charlie Baker (Erik Gratton) is pretty down-trodden at the start of “The Foreigner” now playing at Village Theatre. He is a cuckold husband (23 times he points out) who still loves his wife, but believes she is dying. Charlie thinks he has no personality, and is the most boring person alive. His buddy, Froggy LeSueur (Patrick Phillips) decides that a few days at a fishing lodge in Georgia is just what Charlie needs to get some peace and quiet. The stage is set for a hilarious misadventure that transforms Charlie from shy and retiring to the center of attention. Not wanting to talk to or interact with the other guests – brother and sister Catherine and Ellard Simms, played by Angela DiMarco and Anthony Lee respectively; Rev. David Marshall Lee, played by Jonathan Crimeni; and the innkeeper Betty Meeks, played by Sharva Maynard, Froggy comes up with the idea that Charlie is a foreigner who cannot speak a word of English. Betty is thrilled to have this exotic “foreigner” at her small lodge, breaking up the monotony of her otherwise vanilla life. At first Charlie absolutely refuses to take part in the ruse, until he accidentally overhears a personal conversation between Catherine and David, who are engaged. Gratton, as Charlie, is priceless. Not speaking much at all throughout the first act, he must rely on his facial expressions and body language to convey his message. His eyes grow wide, he slumps in his chair, and when addressed by anyone as Charlie, he pats his upper chest in a gesture so endearing yet funny you can’t help but laugh every time he does it. Ellard (Phillips) is hysterical as the dimwitted brother of sweet, former debutante Catherine. Charlie picks up on David’s constant
undermining of Ellard, trying to convince everyone that Ellard is incompetent to handle $112,000 he is due to inherit. David wants all the money once he and Catherine are wed. So, Charlie asks Ellard to “teach” him to speak English. With the southern inflection – lamp is two syllables for example pronounced lam-puh – each English lesson is side-splitting funny. Meanwhile Catherine, who is ignored by David, grows fond of Charlie because he’s such a good listener, so she pours her heart out to him, not thinking he understands a word. Betty (Maynard) dotes on Charlie, and thinks by yelling at him up close, he’ll understand her. Rounding out the cast is Eric Ray Anderson as Owen Musser, a redneck good-ol’-boy, who is rude and obnoxious to Charlie from the moment he lays eyes on him. Owen clearly doesn’t like a foreigner in his parts. Owen and David are up to no good, and Charlie is on to them much sooner than they think, and is able to use his status as a foreigner to his advantage to put them in their place. The variety of accents and physical humor by Gratton are gut-busting funny. A recent transplant to Seattle from New York, Gratton has performed all over the country in new plays and many of Shakespeare’s most fun roles. He is a gifted comedic actor. The set, a log-sided fishing lodge, is very authentic, with lighting and a few special effects that work in just the right places. “The Foreigner” was written by the late Larry Shue. Following a record-breaking run of 700 performances at New York’s Astor Place Theatre, it has been produced successfully internationally. “The Foreigner” will continue at Village Theatre through March 2, before beginning a run at the Everett playhouse through March 30.

these people are and how they’re operating,” said Wiseman said. “It only takes a few bad apples to spoil the entire bunch.” Eastside Fire Fighters’ Jan. 23 press release came the day after council member Odell and Huckabay both voted “no” to the EFR interlocal agreement at the Sammamish City Council meeting. Wiseman said that Odell and Huckabay’s comments had nothing to do with their decision. “It doesn’t surprise me that they voted no,” Wiseman said. “They had their minds made up before the public had the chance to comment.” Wiseman said that they are doing their due diligence in investigating the matter fully, and have recently made a public records request for all of the emails discussing Sammamish’s fire service. “The union is considering taking legal action...but it’s a lot more complicated then that,” he said.
Wiseman also said that this isn’t an attack against the City Council, but something that was started before. “I don’t understand why they (Odell and Huckabay) voted no,” Wiseman said. “I wasn’t really expecting them to vote yes, but they’re the ones that did these things.” Wiseman said outside their issues with certain members, Eastside Fire Fighters appreciate the Sammamish council and values everything they have done. He said he hopes that they will continue to work positively together in the future. “I would hope that what comes out of this is that people understand that this was never about the firefighters and their jobs, like some people are trying to make it out to be,” Wiseman said. “We said from the very beginning, this was about the community.” While the consequences of violating the OPMA are unclear due to many gray areas, sources have said the penalty would be a $100 fine and “a slap on the wrist”.

Local author raises questions about animals in captivity BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
It’s 26 degrees below zero outside while Diane Hammond talks on the phone from chilly Minneapolis where she and her husband, Nolan, relocated in 2011. Hammond lived in the Northwest for 25 years. “I’m still a North-westerner,” she said. “You can take the writer out of the Pacific Northwest, but you can’t take the Pacific Northwest out of the writer.” Her background is in public relations and print communications, which led to a PR job with the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Ore. Remember the film “Free Willy?” The Diane Hammond movie was based on Keiko, a killer whale that had been in captivity in a Mexico City aquarium for about 15 years. Keiko was brought to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, which was the only place available with enough land to build a facility big enough for him. Hammond said they built it in a hurry. “I dumb-lucked into doing all of the media relations for Keiko,” she said. “I watched this animal come to life, standing by a pool.” She said when Keiko arrived he had Papilloma lesions all over him because his immune system was suppressed. He was 21-years-old when he arrived in Newport. Dedicated caretakers were with him 18 hours a day until he was well enough to be released near Iceland two years later. She said he immediately took off for a fjord in Norway, where he may have originated from because he stayed there and eventually died of pneumonia. Hammond’s fifth novel, “Friday’s Harbor,” is fiction, although the whale in the story, Friday, was given many of Keiko’s attributes. Hammond chose not to write about Keiko because it was “such a tumultuous experience.” Keiko was the focus of the international press and a media sensation. “There was incredibly high burnout,” she said. “Plus, I’m a better fiction writer.” “Friday’s Harbor” involves a whale that
The cover of “Friday’s Harbor” by Diane Hammond. COURTESY OF DIANE HAMMOND. was kept in captivity at an aquarium in Columbia, South America. Friday is brought to a fictional zoo, the tiny Max L. Biedelman Zoo in fictional Bladenham, Wash. Hammond said the similarities end there. Her last book, “Hannah’s Dream,” was about an elephant in captivity. Hammond said her agent talked her into writing another animal story. Hannah is based on fact, too, about an elephant in a small zoo who is released into a sanctuary. “The whole issue of animals in captivity is a very thorny one,” Hammond said. Whether or not she will write more animal stories is anyone’s guess, even hers. But she said there seems to be an infinite amount of love for these animals. “As with ‘Hannah’s Dream’ it is my hope that while ‘Friday’s Harbor’ poses difficult questions about holding animals in captivity, readers will recognize that the book is, at its core, a love story,” Hammond said. Hammond will be touring with her book in Wash. this month, and will appear at the Issaquah Library, 10 West Sunset Way, Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363

Eastside resident combining fan experience, analysis to create unique Seahawks blog BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
From his days as a youth in California to later years in Portland, college in Washington D.C. and finally a home near Eastgate and Lake Sammamish, Nemhauser has always found reason to cheer. Like many others with roots in the Pacific Northwest, the loudest cheers are reserved for the Seattle Seahawks. “I’ve just always loved Sundays,” he said. Even before his family moved to the region, Nemhauser remembers watching the Hawks on television, drawn in by their blue and green uniforms and hooked by the thrilling brand of play that defined the Dave Kreig era. When he was 13, his parents’ Bar Mitzvah gift was a trip north to Seattle for the weekend, with a pair of football games on the itinerary. After taking in the sensory overload that is a fall afternoon on Montlake, Nemhauser was in for an even bigger treat that Sunday, when he ventured inside the Kingdome for the first time to watch the Seahawks. “Just to be in there back then, with the wave, that was a big deal,” he said. “That was my team.” As the years went on, Nemhauser’s love of the Seahawks grew, alongside other deeply rooted passions for the Mariners and Portland Trailblazers. He moved from Fremont to the Eastside in 2003, developing a career in the area’s flourishing technology industry and also growing his family, with two young sons and a wife named Rachel. But when it came to digging into the nuances and tendencies that could help forecast the impending seasons of his favorite teams, Nemhauser found a void in the marketplace. So he began writing.
It began with a preseason email blast sent only to his friends, and focused on the Mariners. When he applied that concept to the Seahawks, a friend suggested he take it a step further and publish a blog. “I had questions, and I wanted answers,” Nemhauser said of the birth of Hawkblogger.com. “I didn’t want quotes or mindless national stuff.” Rather than repurposing story lines or materials from traditional media outlets, Nemhauser set to make Hawkblogger a congregating place for those with an analytical eye on the gridiron. As he does in his career with Adobe, and in most every other area of his life, he focused on the data. “I look at everything - my businesses, my employees, my life - how to get better,” he said. “The more you’re able to see a pattern, the more you can anticipate what comes next.” Nemhauser said most of his blog posts begin with a question or belief about the team, its matchup that week or a trend that seems to be developing throughout the season. From there, he scours online databases for statistics, analyzing and dissecting them to provide the evidence for an argument. But for the first several years the blog existed, there weren’t many people to argue with. “I was blogging mostly to myself,” he said. “There was a guy in Alaska and a soccer mom here locally. I literally had a couple of readers.” The lack of exposure was no problem for Nemhauser, but when he connected his work on the blog with an expanding and increasingly powerful sharing entity in Twitter, the visibility increased. “That was, I found, the place I could find other people,” he said. “Connecting those things together has been huge.”

Hawkblogger.com founder Brian Nemhauser said this year’s NFC Title Game win over the San Francisco 49ers, which he is shown above attending at Seattle’s CenturyLink Stadium, was “A classic, a game we will always remember.” BRIAN NEMHAUSER, Courtesy photo The exponential growth in his readership via social media overlapped with the franchise’s overhaul, from front office changes that brought in general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll to the hundreds of player transactions that followed. As the team built its foundation, Nemhauser built upon his. When a friend hosted an undrafted rookie wide receiver during training camp in 2011 at his home on the Eastside, Nemhauser offered to chronicle his process with the team. Chris Carter didn’t end up making a name for himself with the Seahawks, but the player who beat him out did. “His name was Doug Baldwin,” Nemhauser recalled. “After one practice, it wasn’t a competition.” He began reaching out to players through Twitter and eventually connected
with Baldwin on a feature story, something uncommon in the NFL among non-credentialed media. That led to more sit-down interviews with players, and a regular spot with Dave “Softy” Mahler on 950 Sports Radio KJR, also a Bellevue native. It also helped him garner honors and awards among Seahawks blogs. As the visibility crescendoed, Nemhauser, who had received advertising inquiries for the website before but always turned them down, decided it would be better to use the money for good than not accept it at all. Once again, it all came back to the Seahawks. Nemhauser’s youngest son has special needs, which he termed, “similar to autism, SEE HAWKBLOGGER, 11
Eagles swim past Skyline as both qualify for postseason BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLVUEREPORTER.COM
Jason Klein, Ben Nussbaum, Gabe Florsheim and Henry Pratt helped the Eagles to the win in the 200 yard medley relay, winning with an automatic state time of one minute, 41.29 seconds. Skyline’s team of Jacob Leahy, Paul Jett, Ryan Collins and Nick D’Alo also swam a state time, finishing in 1:43.35. Nussbaum also won the 200 free for Issaquah in 1:56.23, while Jett swam a state time in the 200 individual medley to win in 2:02.07. Keith Nussbaum took the 500 free in 5:08.24 in front of Ben. Florsheim took the 50 free in front of teammate Pratt, with D’Alo in third and Sam deMers in fourth, with all four
swimming district qualifying times. The Issaquah junior also won the 100 fly. Trey Gevers won the diving competition for Issaquah while Klein won the 100 back and 100 free. Alex Sun took the 100 fly for Issaquah in a district time of 1:05.48.
Last chance to qualify today Swimmers in 4A KingCo that have not yet swam two conference time standards have one final chance to qualify for the league championship meet at today’s KingCo Invitational. The meet begins at 4 p.m. at the University of Washington Pavilion Pool. The KingCo Championships are also at UW, Feb. 7-8, with a chance to earn district and state championship meet spots.

competition.” He began reaching out to players through Twitter and eventually connected with Baldwin on a feature story, something uncommon in the NFL among non-credentialed media.

As the visibility crescendoed, Nemhauser, who had received advertising inquiries for the website before but always turned them down, decided it would be better to use the money for good than not accept it at all. Once again, it all came back to the Seahawks. Nemhauser’s youngest son has special needs, which he termed, “similar to autism, but not autism.” When he heard about a foundation called Ben’s Fund, founded by Schneider’s wife and named after their own autistic son, he knew it was the connection he was looking for.
“It just made perfect sense for us to come together and take whatever I could make from the blog and benefit a charity that connects to me personally,” Nemhauser said. Ben’s Fund has a grant through Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT) of Washington, which provides financial assistance for autism spectrum related services. The donation has increased each year since he began making the annual pledge, which includes 100 percent of the revenue generated by the blog. He said the hope this year is to make it a five-figure sum donated to Ben’s Fund. “It is cool,” he said. “It has become hours per day.” Nemhauser left for New York Tuesday, with a ticket to the biggest game in the franchise’s history and the hope that a memorable season can bring one more dream finish. As for his prediction, the outcome should be obvious: a Seattle triumph. “I’ve got so much to do at work, and all I can think about is going to New York,” he said. “It feels like it has been a long time coming.”
