BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
A forum surrounding the firing of former Eastside Catholic vice principal Mark Zmuda attracted a variety of participants Friday night, Jan. 31, for a thoughtful discussion of that issue and others which affect the Catholic Church. Zmuda attended the event, as did a number of Seattle Police plainclothes officers. No confrontations occurred throughout the meeting. The event was organized by alumni of the school and current students. Mary Helen Nuxoll Kopcynski and her husband, Jeffrey “Red” Kopcynski, class of 1996; and Corey Sinser, class of 2007, led the well-attended event. The Kopcynski’s flew in from their home in New York to attend the event. All three have been outspoken alumni since Zmuda was fired Dec. 19, 2013, for marrying his male partner last summer. The move by the school to fire him raised issues and started conversations around the country and world about discrimination, the Catholic Church, Eastside Catholic and LGBTQ rights. “This is a general issue; it’s not just a Catholic issue or a

gay issue, it’s faceless,” said Dru Dinero with Social Outreach Seattle. Members of the group at first alarmed some of those at the meeting when they arrived in masks that completely covered their faces, with yellow tape over their mouths that said “no hate.” They were there in support of Zmuda, or “Mr. Z” as his supporters call him. Dinero said he grew up in the church and gets why people subscribe to the church and “blindly follow” its teachings. “I question the scripture, but is it meant to discriminate?” Dinero asked. “I don’t think so.” The panel discussion, facilitated by Sinser, included Cleve Jones, an AIDS and LGBTQ activist who was a good friend of Harvey Milk, the openly gay San Francisco City Council member who was assassinated along with that city’s mayor by a former City Council member in 1978. Jones, 59, founded the NAMES project AIDS Memorial Quilt. Jones said he did not grow up in a religious house-
Nina Milligan emerged as the choice out of seven candidates to fill Position No. 2 on the Issaquah City Council, tipping the gender balance of the council to four women and three men. Milligan’s appointment, which was determined by a 4-1 vote by the council Feb. 3, fills the seat which was held by Issaquah’s new mayor, Fred Butler. Milligan will serve the remainder of the term, which ends in December 2015. Milligan is the communications manager for the Issaquah Highlands Council. She lives in the Highlands with her husband, Robert, and son, Tyler. She has served on the Urban Village Development Commission since 2005 and is affiliated with several other community organizations. “I plan to work with the council on planning projects so our development can move forward in a deliberate fashion,” Milligan said.

Issaquah council votes to accept transportation grant BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The Issaquah City Council voted unanimously to accept a $3.4 million grant from the state transportation improvement board, which will set the East Lake Sammamish Parkway project in motion. Sheldon Lynne, the city’s director of engineering, said there will be a series of public meetings to keep stakeholders informed on the project. This is one piece of a bigger puzzle called the North Issaquah Transportation Network Improvements.
This first project includes widening East Lake Sammamish Parkway from Southeast 56th Street to just north of Issaquah-Fall City Road, including sidewalks and capacity for bicyclists. Lynne said 85 percent of the project will come from grants. With the acceptance of the state grant, Issaquah is now in a better position to get another $2 million grant from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). A previous PSRC grant of $975,000 helped fund the design, which is in its final stages.
In the event the city doesn’t get the $2 million grant, it can put the project on hold. The city will have to contribute either $3.1 million or $1.1 million toward the project depending on the $2 million grant. Construction would begin in 2015 if everything falls into place. The other pieces of the overall project are a new road with a roundabout at 62nd Street and 221st Place Southeast, which will add another access to the Pickering Place retail area. Lynne said that will be in the planning stage while the East Lake Sammamish Parkway project is being
built. The new road will require fill and an arched culvert crossing over two creeks and wetlands. While that road is being built, the final phase of the project, the 56th Street/12th Avenue Northwest exchange, will be planned. The total cost of the North Issaquah Transportation Network Improvements will be about $50 million, according to the city’s Finance Director, Diane Marcotte. The East Lake Sammamish Parkway project is $7.5 million of the entire project.
King County considering its own transportation package BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Issaquah City Council member Tola Marts attended the King County Council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 4, testifying about the county’s proposal for an April election. The county wants to ask voters to approve funding for a Transportation Benefit District. The funding could potentially come from a $60 vehicle license fee and a 0.1 percent sales tax, both of which would appear on an April ballot. He said the decision for a vote will be made Feb. 10. An April vote is needed to avoid 17 percent cuts to Metro Transit. The Sound Cities Association and the Public Is-
sues Committee are discussing a local option for transportation funding in King County since confidence is waning that a transportation bill will come out of Olympia. The local option would generate about $130 million a year, with approximately $80 million going to Metro Transit, with the other $50 million distributed to King County cities and unincorporated King County. Issaquah would possibly reap $1.14 million and would have to enter into an interlocal agreement with the county as would every city in the SCA. The numbers represent 60 percent of the funds from the TBD going to Metro and 40 percent to the county and cities — based on population — for other transportation needs
including local roads, sidewalks, bike paths, additional transit and other transportation purposes as determined by the particular needs of the local jurisdiction. Issaquah Councilmember Josh Schaer wondered if this is the right package, saying that it might take pressure off of Olympia. Schaer also questioned if the 60 percent was enough to save all of Metro’s routes, including those that serve Issaquah. Councilmember Stacy Goodman suggested Issaquah form its own transportation benefit district. The TBD offers other funding options including tolls, which Schaer thought would be a bad idea. “Tolling I-90 would seriously impact East-
sider’s access to the west side,” he said. Mayor Fred Butler said I-90 is a lifeline for Issaquah. He said they do need transit, but this was once the county executive’s Plan B — and now it’s Plan A because he has no other choice. Marts said the county has been working with the state for a couple of years now for a comprehensive transportation plan, but it can’t wait any longer. Marts said one common theme at the County Council meeting was frustration with the state. “Using vehicle taxes and sales tax is pretty regressive and volatile,” Marts said. He would like the county to look at more stable revenue mechanisms.

Proposed bill could add wrinkle to annexations BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Milligan, right, takes the oath of office from City Clerk Tina Eggers. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
MILLIGAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in communications from the University of Washington, and has been attending legal continuing education classes to study topics ranging from
patent law to land use planning. Milligan said she sought the seat to expand her interest and involvement with the city beyond the urban villages. She is slated to serve on the council Infrastructure Committee, Safety and Services Committee and as the alternate to Mayor Butler on the Cascade Water Alliance.
Issaquah police looking for luring suspect Issaquah police are looking for one, possibly two, luring suspects. Two female students reported separate luring incidents last week in Issaquah. Both described a similar suspect. On Jan. 30, an Issaquah student reported that she was approached by a man who attempted to lure her from a bus stop on East Sunset Way and encouraged her to join him at his residence. The suspect was described as a white male, in his mid-40s, with short, curly gray/brown hair and short facial hair. He was wearing a gray sweatshirt, jeans and hiking boots.
A similar incident was reported on Jan. 29 where a man driving a white beat-up sedan drove alongside a female student as she walked home from her bus stop in the 2100 block of Newport Way Northwest. Issaquah police are looking for any information that may help in identifying this suspect. Issaquah Police chief, Paul Ayers, said both females gave descriptions that were slightly different. He also said they do not meet the same description as a suspect or suspects in the Bellevue School District who are also suspected of luring students.
A bill introduced in the Legislature could add a wrinkle to the issue of annexations. Sen. Andy Hill who represents the 45th District, which includes north Sammamish, has introduced Senate Bill 6487 which would add language to existing law regarding taxes and annexation. The bill says that if a city would be able to annex an adjacent area without the need of state assistance, it would be able to annex the area. The original legislation, passed in 2006, allows a city in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties (except Seattle) to levy a sales tax, to be credited against the state tax, to help it fund services in areas it annexes if it finds that the projected annual costs of providing municipal services in the area is greater than the projected annual general revenue that it expects to receive from that area. The population in the annexation area must be at least 10,000, which Klahanie and surroundng neighborhoods are. If the Feb. 11 Klahanie PAA annexation vote is successful, Issaquah could get a sales tax credit of approximately $1.2 million per year from the state as long as the city can prove that expenses are greater than revenue. The tax credit is available for 10 years. Under Hill's proposal, a city that needs the least amount of state financial help should be the one to annex the area. Sammamish city Council member Ramiro Valderrama said Sammamish needs no support from the state, since it has $70 million in reserve and no debt. "That money (the state would save)
could go toward education, which is badly needed," Valderrama said. Former Issaquah councilmember Dave Kappler concurs, saying the state could save money since one community, Issaquah, needs the subsidy, and the other, Sammamish, does not. "The state could use that money for schools and state parks — Lake Sammamish State Park," he said. Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler said the bill was introduced without the city's prior knowledge. "It's possible it's directed at the Klahanie annexation," Butler said. "It's time for residents to decide their own fate. Our goal is to be a good regional partner to neighboring cities and those in unincorporated King County." A hearing on the bill was held in Olympia Feb. 4. Butler, 5th DistrictSen. Mark Mullet and Issaquah City Council president Paul Winterstein all spoke in opposition to the bill. Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance and councilmember Don Gerend spoke in favor of the bill. Gerend said they testified in support of saving the state’s general fund and doing the right thing by suggesting that Klahanie be annexed into Sammamish. Butler said no action was taken at the hearing. He said he didn’t feel that the tax credit was a tool that should be withdrawn at the time ballots are in the mail. He cited several cities that have had successful annexations with the state tax credit, most recently Kirkland. Sen. Hill could not be reached for comment after several attempts by The Reporter.

WHAT A DAY
The cheers of thousands shows our love for the Seahawks
I
f anyone wondered about the love and support people around here have for the Seattle Seahawks, they only had to see the crowds lining Fourth Avenue in downtown Seattle for the team’s Super Bowl victory parade. Police estimated the crowd at 700,000. Wow. Like most people we’re surprised at the number, but not because the team isn’t worth the outpouring. It is, having brought the most important championship in American sports to the area. No, we’re just surprised that so many people could find a way to skip work. And, well, we’re envious, too. It was quite a day for the Seahawks – and the 12th Man that has supported them so passionately.
Schools need your support, too
T
here are five days left to make a difference in the lives of children in the Issaquah and Lake Washington school districts. Both districts are asking voters to OK critical levies and, in the case of Lake Washington, a bond measure that provide everything from day-to-day operating funds to maintenance and equipment. Issaquah also has a levy for needed buses. Lake Washington has a bond measure to build new schools to help meet a growing student population. We’ve already editorialized in support of these ballot measures. Today we want to nudge those who haven’t yet mailed in their ballots. We know that no one likes spending money, but there’s no better way to invest our dollars than in the education of our children. Even if you don’t have kids in school, these students will be the leaders of tomorrow, making decisions that will affect us all. If you haven’t mailed in your ballot yet, get it out, fill in the circles next to the “yes” option and mail it to the King County Elections Department. The Tuesday, Feb. 11 deadline is fast approaching. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Vote 'yes' three times for kids BY JANE DULSKI AND BETH SIGALL Lake Washington is ranked consistently as a top performing school district in our state, and includes nationally-ranked schools. It is a highly sought after district for young families just starting out, as well as those relocating to the Puget Sound area. Lake Washington also is close-knit community where residents take pride in their schools. And that pride is reflected in our long tradition of supporting our public schools with local dollars. Voters in Lake Washington can continue their support of high-performing schools with three “yes” votes on Feb. 11. Passage of the two renewal levies and one bond will invest in much-needed improvements, resources and infrastructure for our schools. The Lake Washington PTSA Council and each of its 41 local PTSA Units – 100 percent of our PTA school communities across the district – have formally endorsed and supported the renewal levies and bond. The funds raised from the two levies will provide the basic educational services our students and teachers need, such as building repairs, technology upgrades, teacher training, supplies, and specialized classroom equipment such as science labs. The Educational Programs and Operations Levy alone provides nearly a quarter (22.5 percent) of the district’s general operating fund. Passage of the bond is necessary to meet increasing student growth. The bond measure will fund construction of six new schools to accommodate our increasing student enrollment, which is expected to grow by over

Question of the week: “ Do you have special plans for Valentine’s Day?”
Levy, annexation letters on pg. 5 4,000 students in the next eight years. It will also fund the replacement of six aging school buildings. Our student population is growing at the rate of one building per year. Our schools face a 180 classroom shortfall if we do nothing. Fortunately, the Lake Washington School District has one of the best track records in the state for completing projects on time and on budget. That makes the bond and levies a smart investment for Lake Washington citizens. Investments in education reap substantial dividends. Strong schools help our kids thrive and help parents do the hard, rewarding work of raising their families. Investments in education also create sustaining benefits across our entire community. Strong schools make our community an attractive place for businesses to operate. A thriving business environment and strong schools enhance our property values. And most importantly, educated kids grow up to become productive, responsible members of our society – holding down jobs, paying taxes, buying homes, raising families and doing the countless other acts that directly benefit our communities.

LETTERS Levies will help all students I am a mother with two children in Lake Washington School District. I want quality instruction for my children and future students in modern buildings that can handle tomorrow’s technical and educational needs. My home elementary school, AG Bell Elementary, was modernized during Phase II of the district’s building plan. The classrooms, library, offices, gym and cafeteria have natural lighting and a superior heating system that saves money and keeps my children warm, dry and happy. It has new library materials and a new floor plan designed to facilitate technology use and collaborative learning. Most importantly, the new building reenergized the community. Fundraising and community use and support are substantial. The preschool children in my neighborhood will be happy to attend AG Bell. And with a new Kamiakin Middle School and Juanita High School, a young family will happily buy my single family home so their children can attend new schools, not new portables. Please vote to approve the three LWSD measures. We need 180 new classrooms to meet projected enrollment growth and educate all children regardless of economic background. Bethany Williamson, Kirkland
Two LWSD measures too much I grew up with lots of family members who were teachers, so I’m usually supportive of school issues, but this year the Lake Washington School District is asking local families for an excessive tax increase. Here we are five years into a recession and they
propose a 30 percent increase in the capitol improvements levy (Proposition 2). Thirty percent increases in anything are excessive when many families are still struggling with unemployment or underemployment, small businesses are just trying to survive and seniors are watching their fixed income buying power shrink. On top of that, the district then proposes an entirely new property tax totaling $755 million that families and local businesses will be paying for the next 28 years (Proposition 3). One reason that one is too high is because our district tears down schools that other, more fiscally prudent districts would economically remodel. Not only does that cost us more, it also forfeits state matching funds that remodeling receives. Send the district a message by voting to reject Propositions 2 and 3. They need to give taxpayers better, less expensive options we can afford. Eric Rohrbach, Redmond
Three levies critical to Issaquah I wanted to extend my support and encourage others to vote "yes" for the three Issaquah School District levies. As a parent of two children in the district, and as someone who volunteers and substitutes in the Issaquah School District, I want to make sure everyone knows how important it is to vote "yes" for this funding. The first levy is a maintenance and operations levy. It provides 21 percent of the Issaquah School District operating budget (staff salaries, books, heat and light, fuel for buses, and building maintenance). Without this money the district will have to make dramatic cuts, such as to staff our extracurricular activities, which will affect our children. Therefore, it is critical to our schools to pass this levy if we want to continue to provide our children with a quality education.
Page 5
The second levy is a school bus levy that will replace older buses with new, more efficient models. The resulting fuel savings and lower maintenance costs mean that more money can go into the classroom to provide quality education for our children. The third levy is a capital levy that pays for the classroom technology needs and critical repairs of buildings throughout the district. Our schools depend on local levy money and community funding (ISF, PTSA, etc) for classroom technology needs. Theresa Larsen, Sammamish
'Yes' vote will keep WSD schools strong Please join me in supporting our local public schools with a big “yes” vote on the Feb. 11 ballot. This year the Lake Washington School District is asking you to renew the fouryear Education Programs and Operations Levy; renew the four-year Technology and Computer Levy; and approve a 20-year bond measure. The bond issue would raise $755 million to build schools needed to house a projected growth of 2,400 students over the next four years. These measures are a bargain, in my view, since the overall tax rate will be $4.73 per $1,000 of assessed value. This amounts to an increase of about a dollar a day for many of us or $365. Lake Washington School District has a consistent record of accountability, using local dollars exactly as portrayed and voted upon, within budget, for sustaining high performing public schools. Doug Eglington, Sammamish
More on stolen signs In a recent letter, I noted that a person on Beaver Lake Road removed "Vote YES" annexation signs. Here is an update.
As of Jan. 23, all of the "Vote YES" to annexation signs have been taken from Issaquah-Fall City Road coming up the hill from the 76 station (both sides), and 11 of the 12 across from the Eastridge Church have been taken as well. This speaks to people who not only are will to steal our money (the signs cost $5 each), but also more importantly are willing to steal our democracy. Dick L'Heureux, Issaquah
Yes, there are potholes On page 6 of the Jan. 17 Reporter, Don Gerend sates: "I dare you to find a pothole in Sammamish." Well, there is one. It is at Northeast 16th Street near the entrance to Bill Reams East Lake Sammamish Park. It's not a pothole, but numerous potholes. Brian Porter, Sammamish
Child trafficking heart-wrenching Saturday, Feb. 11, delivered a pounding storm to Issaquah. It was nothing compared to the presentation I attended sponsored by the Issaquah Branch of the AAUW. The speaker from Stolen Youth (www. stolenyouth.org) a Seattle based organization, offered up heart-wrenching facts about child trafficking – the sexual exploitation of girls and boys. It is the fastest growing industry in the U.S. Seattle has the third highest numbers in the U.S. The average age of these kids is 13. It only takes one day for a runaway kid to be exploited. I am outraged. I urge everyone to look at the above website, to take a stand, to help stop the abuse. This is truly the human rights issue of our time. Francie Greth-Peto, Issaquah

hold, but during the Vietnam war time his family became Quakers to avoid the draft. He went to San Francisco in 1972 and was mentored by Milk. “When I was younger, I got beat up a lot, so I was very angry,” he said. Jones said when he saw pictures of the kids at Eastside Catholic who were demonstrating, three of the boys looked just like the kind of guys who used to beat him up and he was astounded. Jones was the person who found Milk’s body, and that’s when it crystalized for him to come up with the quilt project instead of turning to hate. Mary DeRosas, a parishioner at St. Joseph Parish, where the discussion was held, told the audience she was born into a conservative Catholic family in Boston, but she believes in social justice. She moved out west and found her church home at St. Joseph. “I’ve always believed in the underdog and I don’t even understand why this is an issue,” DeRosas said. “because Jesus believes in love.” She said she was compelled to do what God was asking of her and that sexual orientation shouldn’t be an issue. Rounding out the panel was 17-yearold Zeena Rivera, a senior at Holy Names Academy, who described herself as a queer Catholic youth. “We might be mythical creatures similar to unicorns, but we exist,” she said. Rivera has been educated in Catholic schools her entire life. She said being Catholic and caring for everyone is what drives her, adding that on Sundays she goes to mass and to gay pride. “People are impressed with what the students are doing,” Rivera said, “but isn’t that what we’ve been taught for 13 years?” DeRosas said she felt it was important to get involved in referendum 74, the 2012 issue that led to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the state because she had many friends in committed relationships who couldn’t get married. She became involved in the LGBTQ group at St. Joseph because she felt it wasn’t right that gay marriage was not allowed in the Catholic Church. “God doesn’t ask us to follow laws, he asks us to follow God,” she said. Jones said there is an arrogance by people on the left who dismiss people of faith. “I have a feeling that what’s happening here is not one of those transitory moments,” he said. “I’m very deeply moved by this. Fan the flames, keep it moving.” Rivera said closed-minded bigoted ideals are not meshing with what the church members believe. She said homophobia is
not the best way to conduct society. “These ideals break society and serve no one,” Rivera said. Rev. John Whitney, who opened the meeting with a prayer, said the civil right to marry is not the same as the sacrament of marriage. Acknowledging Pope Francis, he said the real humility of the new pope is that he doesn’t have the answers to these issues, but these conversations are needed. When Zmuda finally took the stage, the room erupted in applause. He outlined his career and said he comes from five generations of teachers. “I am Catholic, I believe in God and the Holy Trinity. I do not feel as though I’ve done anything wrong. In Washington it is legal to marry. I’m only asking for tolerance,” he said. “One way to show tolerance is with love. I do feel God loves all his children.” Zmuda made it very clear that he was “definitely terminated” and that he did not resign. He said his job was to make sure students were safe and got a good education and that’s what he did. He was very grateful to all the people who have stood up for him. He also thanked his husband, Dana Jergens, and said all this attention was not something Jergens expected six-months into a marriage. A foundation, Stand with Mr. Z, has been formed to stop workplace discrimination. The foundation will offer scholarships. Nuxoll-Kopcynski said there are people (students and faculty) at Eastside who are scared, but the alumni are immune. “We’re not going to get grounded or suspended,” she said. “This is just the beginning.” Zmuda does want his job back. Among the parents present, were Molly and Brian Jester. Residents of the Issaquah Highlands, they took their son, Bradley, a junior, out of Eastside Catholic. “We felt we’d be supporting discrimination if we stayed,” Molly Jester said. She said she knew for certain that six other families have pulled their kids out of the school and several are contemplating not sending their kids back next year. The Jester’s also have an adopted daughter of color and didn’t know what kind of message that would send to her. “If they brought Mr. Zmuda back we’d be back tomorrow,” she said. The school has taken its anti-discriminatory statement off its website. Jones, who turns 60 in October, said he believes in his lifetime he will see his people, gay people, have all equal civil rights. He made his message clear to the young people who were there. “It is very important that you demand everything — immediately,” he said.

Realtors endorse Lake Washington levies, bond Seattle King County Realtors have endorsed three measures for the Lake Washington School District and pledged assistance for a “get-out-thevote” campaign for the Feb. 11 election. The funding requests include renewal of two levies and a bond measure. The Sammamish area is the school district. Realtors praised the district for the caliber of its college prep and careertechnical offerings.
Lake Washington’s propositions include renewal of an Educational Programs and Operations Levy that funds 22.5 percent of the district’s general operating revenue, and renewal of the Capital Projects Levy. Those funds would support teaching and learning tools, safety, security and health upgrades, and school building and site improvements. The third measure would raise $755 million through sales of 20-year
bonds. The money would be used for new classroom space to accommodate growing enrollment (projected at 4,000 more students in the next eight years) and for replacing a half-dozen aging schools. The overall tax rate with the replacement levies and new bond measure is estimated to be $4.73 per $1,000 of assessed value. For a home of average value in the district, the annual increase would be $365.
Open enrollment begins in Lake Washington schools Lake Washington School District is holding open enrollment for parents who want their children to attend a school other than their neighborhood school. For students in grades one through 12, parents need to aply for ab indistrict variance by Feb, 28. For kindergarten students, parents must request the variance at the time of registration., which takes place from 1-7 p.m. at the schools. This open enrollment option only applies to those schools that have space available. The list of schools that are closed to students outside their neighborhood will be available on the district website at: http://www.lwsd.org/Parents/StudentRegistration/Pages/In-District-Transfer-Options.aspx. Schools are closed if current and projected enrollment indicates that school capacity will be reached with those students who live within their boundary areas.
In-district transfer forms can be picked up at any school during the open enrollment period. The completed request must be submitted to the student’s home school. Acceptance is based on space available in a school, grade or program. In the event that there are more requests than can be accommodated, date of request will determine admission. Students from outside the district who wish to attend Lake Washington’s schools can apply for enrollment at any time by initiating a request with their home school district. Parents who live in the district will be notified of the result of their in-district transfer request as soon as possible. Kindergarten and Inter-District Transfer requests may not be notified until later this summer. The Student Placement Office, at 425-936-1283, can answer any questions on the process.
Registration underway for kindergarten in LWSD
a school other than their neighborhood school due to enrollment levels. If that happens, a lottery will be held on Feb. 12 to determine which students will be affected. In addition, if more than 22 children register for all-day kindergarten classes, a lottery will be held on Feb. 12 to determine the students in those classes. Due to the start of mid-winter break on Feb. 13, announcements of lottery results will not be made until Feb. 18. To register a child for kindergarten, parents should bring the following items: n Proof of the child’s birth date such as a birth certificate or passport. n Child’s health history, including current immunizations. n Emergency contact information. n Proof of residency (such as an energy bill with a current address, lease agreement or mortgage statement). For more information, go to the district website’s for parents section and click on student registration, then kindergarten registration. To determine which school is your neighborhood school, click on district map, or school and bus finder, or call the district transportation offices at 425-936-1120.
People who live in Lake Washington School District and have a child who will five-years-old on or before Aug. 31 can register them for kindergarten. Registration takes place at the neighborhood school from from 1-7 p.m. A half-day program is offered to all students in the district and is free to parents. The all-day program is offered as space is available and is tuition-based. Tuition for 2013-2014 was $3,500, but the fee is subject to change. The 2013-2014 tuition for those who qualify for a reduced fee was $1,260. It was $700 for those who qualify for free lunch. Parents interested in registering their child for all-day kindergarten will need to bring their checkbook to registration. They will be asked to pay for a month of kindergarten at the time of registration. That payment will be applied to the last month of kindergarten, in June. Arrangements can be made for automatic withdrawals from a bank account for monthly payments during the next school year. At times, the district may need to transport students to

The two teams that reach the championship game earn automatic regional round spots, with the third place finisher taking on a Wesco foe for the final place in the round of 16. The Metro League tournament also begins Feb. 11, when the Crusaders open their playoff run with the Mountain Division title in hand. EC has already punched its Sea-King District Tournament spot.

Area prep seniors sign National Letters of Intent BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
National Letter of Intent signing day was Wednesday, Feb. 5 and area schools honored seniors continuing their educations and careers at the collegiate level. Eastlake golfer Spencer Weiss, who helped the Wolves to the 4A state title last year with his eighth place finish, is headed to the University of Washington and will have one more shot on the prep course this spring. Multiple-time state champion Edward Kim is headed to the Ivy League at Harvard after finishing his high school career with the Wolves in the pool at King County Aquatic Center for the state championships. Rachel Lortenson and Marijke Vanderschaaf have the Lady Wolves in the hunt for a top playoff seed on the basketball court, and both will head east of the Cascades for college with Lortenson signing at Central Washington University and Vandershaaf with Boise State. Connor Bezzant, part of Eastlake’s state football team in the fall, will attend Southern Virginia University to play the game. Drew Lewis also signed, but was undecided between two schools at the Reporter’s deadline. Skyline had 14 athletes sign, including a trio of Washington State Cougars in Brian Mogg (golf), Drew Lunde (baseball) and Jordan Branch (girls soccer). State-qualifying diver Erin Taylor will compete and study at Colorado State. Spencer Noonan will play lacrosse at Fairfield University (Conn.) while Katy Bucy heads to Lindenwood (Mo.), also for lacrosse. The Skyline girls soccer team, which won state titles in 2011 and 2012,
and also made the tournament in 2013, will send five others to the collegiate ranks along with Branch. Emily Baril will compete for Central Washington, along with Abbie Litka. Jaeden Chew is headed to Ohio at the University of Cincinnati, while Brooke Holland will stay closer to home at Seattle Pacific. Keelin Coulter will play with University of Pacific. Reggie Long, an AllKingCo honoree for the Skyline football team, will play at Central Washington next year. Dorie Dalzell and Alex Daugherty, who will compete in the spring for the Spartans girls track and field team, each signed an LOI. Dalzell will become a Kansas Jayhawk and Daugherty is set to attend the University of Notre Dame. Issaquah’s Rachel Wheeler, who helped the Eagles soccer team to the 4A state semi-finals this year and a win over rival
Skyline in the quarterfinal round, is headed to the University of Washington. A pair of Eagles’ boys soccer players are also set to continue their careers, with Ryan Higgins headed to Seattle Pacific and Harrison Kretchmer set to play at Lenoir Rhyne. Derek Chapman, a member of the Issaquah baseball team, will join Skyline’s Lunde at Washington State, playing under coach Donnie Marbut. Shay Dingfelder, a lineman on the state playoff Issaquah football team, is headed to Southwest Minnesota State. Wednesday was the first day for Class of 2014 seniors to send in a National Letter of Intent for the regular signing period. The final day of the regular signing period is April 1 for football and August 1 for all other sports. Until a National Letter of Intent is received, commitments are not binding for athletes or institutions.

Skyline AD Gilbert steps down BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
Skyline High School is after a new athletic director, with current AD Ryan Gilbert accepting a position as the Director of Ministries at Sambica, the nearly century-old summer camp and retreat center on Lake Sammamish. Gilbert, who took the position at Skyline to begin the 2011-12 school year, said the volume of athletes participating in sports at the school, its immense success in team sports and healthy geographic and district
rivalries were hallmarks of his time with the Spartans. Skyline had no shortage of success during Gilbert’s nearly three years on the job, winning 4A state titles in girls soccer and football in 2011 and 2012, and sending a host of athletes to KingCo, district and state competitions in boys and girls swim and dive, boys and girls track and field and cross country, tennis and golf. The school is looking for a new athletic director and the opening is currently posted online.

Proposition No. 1 concerns the proposed annexation of the Klahanie Annexation Area to the City of Issaquah. This area of unincorporated King County, which covers about 1,240 acres, shares a common boundary with the City of Issaquah. If voters approve this Proposition, the Klahanie Annexation Area will join the City of Issaquah.

After approval from the Boundary Review Board for King County, the Issaquah City Council recently authorized this election following a process set by state law. If this Proposition is approved by voters, property within the Klahanie Annexation Area will be subject to zoning classifications that are similar to those of King County; assessed and taxed at the same rate and on the same basis as property within the City of Issaquah; and assume a proportionate share of the City’s then-outstanding indebtedness.

Community Roundup
What’s happening in Issaquah and Sammamish
Truck plows into new Sammamish home A truck plowed into a new Sammamish home in the early hours Saturday, Jan. 25, tearing up a gas line and causing the evacuation of nearby homes. The driver fled the scene in the truck. The accident happened at approximately 12:40 a.m. at the intersection of Southeast 32nd Street and 220th Avenue Southeast. Brett and Staci Wedewer had just recently moved into the house with their 18-month-old toddler, Nolan. The truck crashed into a room where the Wedewer’s had a home office. Staci said that she doesn’t feel safe in her home. Some community members are blaming the removal of a barricade at the end of Southeast 32nd Street for making the area less safe. However, Sammamish Police said that since the barricade was removed they have added some extra patrols and while a few speeding tickets have been given out, there was nothing out of the ordinary prior to this accident. Police believe the vehicle is probably a Ford Super Duty truck, due to the front bumper that was left behind at the scene and are asking the community to notify them if

they know any information or see a truck matching that description.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes
PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only
28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502. Now at select

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.
