Tent City finds a home at church BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Faith United Methodist Church will become the next home to Tent City 4. Church members voted Wednesday night to welcome the homeless encampment onto their property come March 1, following its departure from the Lake Sammamish State Park. Rev. John Brewer of Faith United Methodist said that the meeting was very different from the community meeting held on Feb. 11. “There was nobody but church members present and it was quite civil and respect-

SPLIT DECISION School continues quest for record-setting ice cream treats BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Pine Lake Middle School seems to have a thing for records – and ice cream. On Thursday, Feb. 20, students in the after school program created a banana split 100-feet long. "We decided to do this after starting a tradition last year of breaking records," said Tom O'Neill, the site manager for the IMPACT program at the school, which provides after school tutoring, homework and enrichment programs. "Last year we made a 10 foot by 2 foot ice cream sandwich. We wanted to do something similar and bigger." According to O'Neill, the Washington record for a banana split is 3 miles long. While they know there was no way to touch that record, they thought they could set one for Issaquah. "We don't know if it's official because it's so ridiculous," O'Neill said. "A thorough Google search turned up nothing." As part of the banana split effort, students used more than 20 gallons of ice cream, 200 bananas and many cans of whip cream. The construction took place at Beaver Lake Middle School in Issaquah, and students from Challenger Elementary's Club Connection camp came over to help with the project. "The kids absolutely loved it, both helping create it and eating it," O'Neill said. "This kind of thing fits right in with one of our missions, which is to create unique opportunities that kids wouldn't get to have anywhere else."

What next for Klahanie? Annexation defeat clouds the future BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Klahanie residents again have said "no" to annexing to Issaquah. With the election certified Feb. 25, a total of 1,536 votes, or 50.53 percent of the total, rejected annexation. There were 1,504 votes, or 49.47 percent "yes" votes. It would have taken a 60 percent "yes" vote for Klahanie to assume Issaquah's indebtedness. Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler said another election is highly unlikely. Issaquah unsuccessfully tried to annex the area in 2005. "We want to analyze the data, and look at the precinct results, and see if there are some areas with more support," Butler said. Annexing to Sammamish wasn't a choice on the ballot, and the Klahanie PAA remains in Issaquah's annexation area. Don Gerend, who is a member of the Sammamish City Council and also a spokesperson for the group Klahanie Choice that favored rejection, said any future decision is up to the people in the neighborhoods that are within the annexation area. The Sammamish City Council passed a resolution Jan. 7 that said it is committed to "fast track" the annexation of Klahanie, but it can't do so unless Issaquah releases the area from its comprehensive plan. Sammamish officials could go to the King County Boundary Review Board and the Growth Management Hearings Board to plead their case, but Gerend said they don't want to do that. He also doesn't want to see the PAA carved up. But Sammamish is ready to roll if Issaquah releases the PAA, he said. Butler did not rule out discussions with Sammamish to possibly lead to some policy decisions on next steps. Linda Ball: 425-391-0363; lball@issaquahreporter.com

Issaquah Police chief Paul Ayers, retiring BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The city of Issaquah’s administration is looking for a new police chief. Chief Paul Ayers and his wife Rosie Ayers are both retiring from their respective jobs. Chief Ayers has been the Chief of the Issaquah Police Department since 2007, moving here after serving as the chief of police in Lewiston, Idaho. He has been in law enforcement since for approximately 40 years. The city plans to find the new police chief internally. A panel of community members and staff will make a recommendation to Mayor Fred Butler. Rosie Ayers has worked for Eastside Fire and Rescue. Both will be retiring, April 15. In the EFR newsletter, which comes out every Friday, Rosie Ayers said “Paul and I have enjoyed our time in Issaquah, but are looking forward to retiring in Boise, Idaho, closer to my family. I appreciate having the

“All of that work had been done, so it was easy to say that we’re ready to host now,” Brewer said. “We’re ready to go.” Kimiko Hahara, an Issaquah resident and supporter of Tent City, responded to community concerns regarding a preschool being so close to the church. She said she has a young child going to school in the area, but instead of showing concern, she wants to take the opportunity to teach her daughter how to help those in need. “We want to teach our children that we shouldn’t judge people on what they have

I have worked in the HR field for over 30 years and it is time to spend more time with my best friend of over 42 years, Paul.” Chief Ayers said he informed former Mayor Ava Frisinger last summer that he planned to retire, and after Mayor Fred Butler was elected he informed him of his plans. He said the majority of Rosie’s family lives in Boise, and his sister also lives in Idaho. They’re having a home built for them, which will be ready when they arrive in Boise.

City council’s two-day Suncadia retreat an ‘overall success’

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish City Council turned its focus to future budgets, storm water regulations and emergency planning during its retreat at Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum. While specific decisions won’t happen until issues come before the planning commission and city council, Mayor Tom Vance summed up the two-day getaway as “overall, a very successful retreat.” The retreat, called Sammamish 2040, was “a chance for us to take a broader, higher look at long-term policy goals,” Vance said. The agenda included a look at the 2015-

2016 budget, storm water regulations, electronic connectivity, preservation and sustainability, emergency planning and other various topics. “We did not take on all subjects, since we have our own on-going work at the planning commission and later at the council on our comprehensive plan,” Vance said. “Many of those topics will be discussed in study decisions over the next 15 months or so.” Vance said they did discuss stormwater management, particularly how it relates to neighborhoods with poor or no storm water drainage facilities. He said the council also looked at challenges the Town Center plan brought about due to recent stormwater

decisions at the Department of Ecology and the federal level. As far as preservation and sustainability, the council voiced general approval of ongoing efforts to expand and preserve open space in order to expand Sammamish’s trail system. This includes work by the city as well as local non-profits to create the “emerald necklace” of trails and preserved open space on the eastern edge of the city. “We had a long discussion of future and ongoing needs in our growing city, including social services and recreational services,” Vance said. “With the building of the Community Center, some services will be

offered. What will that entail? What more can we offer in the future?” Some of the other bigger issues the council discussed included emergency services – “What do we have now? What is being developed? What will we need in the future?” – as well as long-term capital projects beyond the Community and Aquatic Center. “There were some other smaller topics, but those were some of the major themes,” Vance said. “Of course, we were not making final decisions. We were looking for directions for the future as well as giving staff an idea of our thoughts on these various issues.”

‘Make it a Clay Day’ set for March 1 BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish Arts Commission will host a “Make It a Clay Day” event from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, March 1 from at the EX3 Teen and Recreation Center in Sammamish. This event is free and aimed at providing a opportunity for developing teens to serve as role models, mentoring students with special needs. “We will have approximately 20 students with special needs and we will pair each of them with a local teen mentor for the creative art activities of the day,” said Lin Garretson, director of the Special Arts Sammamish program and a Sammamish arts commissioner. Garretson said that during the event, students and mentors will get the opportunity to experience how to create with clay. They will

do a hand-building activity, try the potters wheel and sculpting. They also will get to experience glazing their finished projects, making the clay creations ready to be fired in the kiln. Parents are welcome to meet other families, share insights and encouragement for the community building event. “We have added a new feature to our Special Arts Sammamish programs whereby parents can share a time of facilitated conversation, exchanging resources and encouragement while their children ‘Make It A Clay Day’ with their teen mentors,” Garretson said. Garretson said they are working on accommodating more people at the event. To pre-register, visit www.sammamish.us/ events.

HARDLINE

Time to stop those who drive and use their cell phones

nyone who spends any time driving around here won’t be surprised by the following “news” from a recent survey by Pemco Insurance: Northwest drivers admit to cheating on the state’s texting while driving laws. Well, duh! For a short time after the law kicked into effect, more drivers than not appeared to be following the rules. Not any more. It’s easy to spot the scofflaws. Drivers intently staring at their lap while at a stoplight most likely are texting. Worse, many are staring – and driving. A check of some national statistics shows the danger. The minimal amount of time a person’s attention is taken away from the road when they’re texting and driving is 5 seconds. That doesn’t sound so bad, except that if you’re traveling at 55 mph, this equals the length of a football field without looking at the road. The law is pretty clear about driving and cell phone use: it’s illegal for drivers to use a hand-held cell phone – stopped or not. And while some try to lessen the danger by using a speakerphone or hands-free device, the net result is about the same. According to the US Department of Transportation, using those methods can be just as distracting. Despite what many people may think, most cell phone calls or text messages don’t reflect any emergency. Unless, of course, you answer the call or check the text and find that doing so has, in fact, caused an accident. The answer is for people to act responsibly and not use their cell phones while driving. But as we’ve seen with speeding, there’s apparently not enough responsibility to go around. We expect police officers to take a hardline on speeding. We should encourage them to do the same for those driving while using cell phones. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Shortage of Medicaid providers puts low-income patients at risk

BY DR. SHANE MACAULAY

ast June when the Legislature approved the expansion of Medicaid in Washington as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health care advocates across the state celebrated. It was an important part of the ACA's goal of providing healthcare to the one million Washingtonians who had no health insurance. But there is a missing piece in this equation: an adequate supply of primary care physicians who accept Medicaid patients. This physician shortage is the result of unfair Medicaid compensation. Fortunately our Legislature can fix this problem now by extending a temporary increase in Medicaid payment rates that the federal government funded beginning in 2013. Without this fix, Medicaid reimbursement rates fall far short of covering physicians’ costs to provide care. For example, Medicaid pays just $39 for an adult routine office follow-up visit, which costs $85 – a $46 loss for the provider. These losses are not sustainable, and many practices must restrict or exclude Medicaid patients to keep the business alive. With the Medicaid payment increase, that same visit is reimbursed at $77. While still an $8 loss, some

LETTERS

providers are able to more easily absorb that. Although as a radiologist the increased rates for primary care won’t directly impact my practice, they greatly affect patient access to care, which ripples out to the whole health care system. Working with physicians and hospitals, the state saved $33 million in just one year by reducing non-urgent ER use, but the continued success of this program depends on patients being able to receive care from primary care physicians in our community. Currently 42 per cent of Washington children are served by Medicaid. And with the program’s expansion, a growing number of adults will rely on it. The Legislature expanded Medicaid coverage to help our state’s lower-income families. But to turn that promise of coverage into reality they must act now on fair Medicaid compensation to ensure that coverage equates to access to care in King County and across the state. Dr. Shane Macaulay is an executive officer of the Washington State Medical Association and a radiologist at Center for Diagnostic Imaging, practicing in both Bellevue and Kirkland.

Eastlake principal resigns BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Brad Malloy, Eastlake High School's principal, resigned on Feb. 11 due to "personal reasons," he said in a letter addressed to the Eastlake community. Traci Pierce, the Superintendent of the Lake Washington School District, tried to put various rumors to rest when she addressed the community in an informal letter. “The message that Brad decided to resign from his position in the district for personal reasons is in fact the whole story. This

is truly the case in this situation. I acknowledge that this decision and announcement was sudden, and it is unusual for an administrator to resign mid-year. I know that 'personal reasons' does not provide detailed information to parents; however, as an employer, we want to honor and respect Brad’s wish and right for privacy,” Pierce said. Eastlake sources said they could not give much information on the matter. Eastlake's Associate Principal Chris Bede will act as the interim principal until spring when they go through the process of hiring a permanent replacement.

Kim, Issy relay win 4A state titles BY JOSH SUMAN ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Three years ago, after his first state championship meet as a prep, Edward Kim set a goal: become the second boy in Washington state high school swimming history to win the maximum eight individual championships. Saturday, Feb. 22 at The Weyerhauser King County Aquatic Center, Kim etched his name permanently in the record books, running away with a pair of 4A titles in automatic All-American times to take the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle and finish with eight titles in four years. “I have the same mindset as when I came here as a freshman,” Kim said. “I’m always looking for a challenge, always looking for someone to race.” Kim raced in front of the pack to win the 200 free in an automatic All-American time of one minute, 37.42 seconds, nearly six seconds in front of the second place finisher. He repeated the feat in the 100 free to reach the top of the 4A podium for the maximum eighth time as an individual in a career, swimming to another automatic All-American time of 43.90. Head coach Kate Agnew said the

free in a time of 4:47.84 and fourth in the B Final of the 200 free. Kim, senior Caleb Alleva, Markus Zimmermann and Berman were sixth in the finals of the 200 free relay in 1:30:13, with Alleva also eighth in the B Final of the 100 breaststroke. Zimmermann, Chirag Das, Kim and Berman swam to a fourth place finish in the 400 free relay in 3:14.48, as Eastlake was eighth in the team scoring. “Being with my teammates was my favorite part of high school swimming,” Kim said. “I will definitely take that with me.”

most extraordinary part of coaching the supremely talented and ultra-driven Kim wasn’t watching him shave seconds and approach state records, but his enjoyment of his teammates and the camaraderie of the squad. “He’s always more focused on the team than he is on himself,” Agnew said. “He is more excited about the other boys swimming well and is excited to be part of a

Ben Nussbaum was also sixth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.03, with Pratt second in the B Final of the 100 free in 49.11. Brother Keith Nussbaum swam in the preliminaries of the 200 free, finishing in 1:50.35, and was third in the B Final of the 500 free in 4:54.39. Ben said the chance to compete alongside his brother, and several teammates he has known since elementary school, was a fitting end to his prep career. “The relationship Keith and I have is more than I could ever ask for,” Ben said. “He pushes me, he knows how to get me hyped and in the zone and he pushed me every day in practice.” Coach Laura Hatler said while it was exhausting

with swimmers in every event, the chance to bring a large contingent to state and set a meet record was unmatched. Issaquah was sixth in the B Final of the 400 free relay, and second in the team scoring behind first time champion and conference rival Newport. “We’re very fortunate to have athletes that are skilled in different things,” she said. “It says something, and it means team.” Skyline was fourth in the B Final of the 200 medley relay, with Jacob Leahy, Paul Jett, Ryan Collins and Nick D’Alo swimming one minute, 41.39 seconds. The same group swam 1:30.81 to finish seventh in the 200 free relay. Jett finished his final prep meet with a fifth place finish in the 100 butterfly and an eighth place finish in the finals of the 50 free, swimming 22.75. Collins finished eighth in the 100 fly and was sixth in the B Final of the 100 backstroke. “It’s amazing,” Collins said of competing at state. “There is nothing like it.”

He won his first match 5-2 over Thomas Munoz of Yelm before coming back with a 4-3 victory over Jose Garcia of Moses Lake in the quarterfinals. After a loss to eventual champion Michael Soler of Lake Stevens in the semi-finals, Eaton won the third place match 8-4 over Ramiro Ortiz of Davis to finish the tournament.

Lucky Home opening brings Gilman Village to full occupancy BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah contractor settles federal lawsuit BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah’s Summit Drywall will pay $275,000 to nearly 400 workers to settle a federal lawsuit that alleges the workers were short-changed on overtime pay. The company will pay an additional $275,000 in liquidated damages. The lawsuit involved the company’s practice of paying workers on a “piece-rate” basis, but not keeping accurate records of their compensation. The U.S. Department of Labor found that the company violated overtime and record-keeping provisions from Oct. 15, 2009 to April 15, 2013. “We try to understand and comply with all employment laws, which are numerous and always changing,” said owner Tom Kauziarich in a statement. “We have never intentionally violated any employment laws.” Kauziarich said in a routine audit by the DOL a year and a half ago, the audit found that they were doing things correctly

with regard to hourly workers, but records for the piece-rate work was not adequate. Summit has agreed to make changes to its records and timekeeping practices. “As anyone can tell you, it costs a lot of money and things can drag out a long time if you go to court, particularly against a government agency. So, we ended up negotiating a settlement,” Kauzirich said. Pedro Espinoza with the Regional Council of Carpenters said it’s an ongoing problem, but the people who will benefit from fair labor practices are the legitimate contractors. Although he is union, and Summit is an open, non-signatory shop, if workers — non-union or union — come to the council with a problem, they will provide them with the resources they need. Kauziarich said his company is committed to complying with all legal requirements and treating all of its employees fairly. Linda Ball: 425-391-0363; lball@issaquahreporter.com

Lombardi’s site could be home to 343 apartments BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A five-story, 343-unit apartment complex is being planned for the former Lombardi’s restaurant site and the old Hi-Lo Mall in Issaquah. Los Angeles-based Lennar Multifamily Communities wants to develop the 6.09acre site into a multi-family complex with 460 parking spaces, outdoor recreational spaces and a community garden adjacent to Issaquah Creek. Jerry Lind, a senior planner with the city, said the project still has to go through the review process for

The property is bordered by Gilman Boulevard, Northwest Locust Street, Seventh Avenue Northwest and Issaquah Creek. The property is part of the Central Issaquah Plan, which was created to encourage urban growth on the valley floor. Tom Bartholomew with Lennar said the company has primarily been in the single family home business, but established its multi-family branch a few years ago. “We saw an opportunity to create something new and different in the valley, with good proximity to transit,

Denise Jensen is the owner of Lucky You and now Lucky Home, both in Gilman Village. Lucky Home opens at 10 a.m. for its grand opening. LINDA BALL, Issaquah Sammamish Reporter.

The opening of Lucky Home Feb. 28 will bring Gilman Village to 100 percent occupancy for the first time in over 20 years. Lucky Home is the second retail store in the village owned by Denise Jensen. Her other store, Lucky You, has been open two and one-half “fabulous” years, she said. “We’ve been very supported by the community, but we wanted more,” Jensen said. “Gilman Village has been phenomenal.” Lucky You has hundreds, if not thousands, of gift ideas. With Lucky Home, Jensen has entered the furniture and home accessory market. Her main line of furniture is by Bramble, which uses only fine plantation mahogany and other certified woods, many with antique effects that are hand-applied to the furniture. Jensen thinks she may be the only retailer in the greater Seattle area carrying Bramble. Pillows, lamps, occasional tables and rugs are plentiful. Colorful jute and cotton rugs by Dash and Albert are showcased as are more durable wool rugs. Jensen also has bedding, including quilts

made from cotton or linen ranging in price from $99 to $149. The towels she carries are Egyptian cotton, many of them sculpted for an elegant touch to the bathroom. Fluffy chenille slippers, Mr. and Mrs. pillowcases for newlyweds, candles and kitchenware can also be found at Lucky Home. For the spring season she is featuring garden items such as garden art and accents. Jensen, an 18-year resident of Issaquah, was a buyer for a large department store right out of college. She worked as a sales rep for a clothing company for 10 years after that, before being persuaded to open her own store. “I’ve kind of done everything in retail,” she said. “Now I’ve come full circle.” The store opens at 10 a.m. – throughout the weekend customers can enter to win a $100 gift certificate. A free gift will be offered to anyone who purchases $75 or more worth of merchandise during the grand opening weekend. Both Lucky You and Lucky Home are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. “As a little retailer I’m so happy we’re doing so well. People can walk in here and get a fair price,” Jensen said.

high walking scores and a good place to meet a market close to outdoor recreation and shopping,” Bartholomew said. If you look at the site now, it looks like a sea of asphalt. Bartholomew said all of that impervious surface will be gone, and there will be a wide landscape swale through the property to accommodate overflow in case of flooding from Issaquah creek. As far as projected rents go, he said it’s too soon to tell because it’s two years out before the units will be ready to occupy. But there will be a range of rents and sizes of units. Since the project borders Issaquah Creek, a public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 before the city’s river and streams board, which will be held at City Hall Northwest, 1775 12th Ave. N.W. Also on the valley floor, Rowley Properties is planning to build a 122-room hotel, another Hilton property, adjacent to the Hilton Garden Inn. The eight-story hotel will be approximately 100,000 square feet with 5,000 square feet of retail/ spa area.

Miscellaneous

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. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx
