S

ince Washington state privatized the sale of hard liquor in 2012, small speciality shops have suffered, with many going out of business altogether. Allen and Janet Bechtel of Sammamish, who own World of Wines, a small wine shop in Redmond, say that if something doesn’t change in the speciality beer and wine industry, they too will be forced to close their doors. “Corporate America and high-paid lobbyists put a lot of pressure on our elected representatives,” Janet said. “But if there’s one time when small, family-owned business owners need our representatives to work for us, this is it.” Since the Costco initiative two years ago, corporate America has taken over the liquor industry, Janet said. “Prices have gone up, public safety has gone down, and small, family-owned businesses like ours have gone out of business,” she said. What many people didn’t realize about Initiative 1183, the couple said, is it would, “Require that a retail store must have 10,000 square feet or more of fully enclosed retail space within a single structure in order to get a license to sell liquor.” The goal was to keep hard liquor out of neighborhood convenience stores. With the implementation of Initiative 1183, World of Wines, which is approximately 8,000 square feet, is unable to sell liquor, and when customers can one-stop-shop for

hard alcohol and wine at their neighborhood grocery store, the small speciality shops become less appealing. “Everybody completely forgot that there are small, footprint stores like us, that that’s all we sell,” Janet said. “We don’t have problems with teenagers coming in here trying to buy things with a fake I.D.” Janet said that it’s no secret that issues involving alcohol theft are happening in the grocery stores, and not in small speciality shops like their own. “It’s a huge problem,” she said. “Whereas stores like us would not have had a problem.” Allen said they have stayed afloat because they carry different products than the grocery stores, such as small production wineries that larger businesses refuse to or

cannot carry. “I taste about 200 to 300 wines a week,” Allen said, who turned his wine collecting hobby into a full-time, post-retirement passion. “I choose to bring in things that I personally like. Every wine in this store has been tasted…we will not put it on the shelf if we ourselves would not drink it ourselves.” With that philosophy, World of Wines has maintained loyal and familiar customers. However, that group may not be enough to keep them in business. Two small speciality shops in Redmond have gone out of business in the last two years, and according to a December article in the Seattle Times, 60 percent of former and now private Washington state liquor stores have shut down as well. “The law that passed gave preferential pricing to volume stores like Costco and BevMo and Safeway,” Janet said. “So what that did to people like us, we now pay more then they do for our products. Which is why it’s so important for us to buy stuff that they don’t carry, because we can’t compete with their price.” But the Bechtels still have hope. House Bill 5731 would allow beer or wine speciality shop licensees to sell products made by distillers that produce 60,000 gallons or less of spirits per year. It’s not a lot, but it’s something. The initiative was overwhelming passed by the Senate, but got stuck in the House. “We don’t have the same customers and SEE WINE WOES, 3

The pilot of the helicopter that crashed near Seattle Center on Tuesday morning was a resident of Issaquah. Gary Pfitzner, 59, was one of two men who died in the crash near the Space Needle. According to KOMO News, Pfitzner was a contract pilot for the news organization, and was also employed by the helicopter leasing company that operates the news chopper as well as a familiar sight to KOMO News employees. "He always had a smile on his face," said KOMO's Molly Shen. "He loved what he did, loved to be able to fly and be up there above the city and see things from a perspective that most of us don't get to see." Emergency personnel immediately rushed to the scene at the height of the morning commute. The second man who died was Bill Strothman, 62, of Bothell, a longtime station photographer who worked as a contractor for KOMO. Two cars and a pickup truck on Broad Street were struck in the crash. Occupants of two vehicles were able to escape without injury, but the driver of a third vehicle was badly burned. Witnesses said the 38-yearold man could be seen running from his car with his clothing on fire, and he was extinguished by officers at the scene. Hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg says the man suffered burns on up to 20 percent of his body and likely will require surgery.

City presents Big Rock Park update and budget BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish City Council got an update on the status of the Big Rock Park master plan during its study session March 11. The park project was started in January 2012 with the goal of creating a park that is inviting to the entire community, enhancing, protecting and celebrating natural system, provide outdoor opportunities for environmental and heritage education and allowing for a phased construction plan to work within the city’s budgetary realities. Sammamish Parks Director Jessi Bon told councilmembers the current considerations include the proximity of the park to neighbors, sensitive areas of the park and issues with trail systems. At “Site A,” Bon said, they are proposing parking on the street for 30-40 cars with the hopes of putting in six to eight additional spots. However the current grading will require paving, which will be pricey. At this site there will be a covered gathering/education circle for school groups. Council members asked if there could be a fireplace in the middle of this area, and Bon said she would look into it. In the site proposal there also will be an elevated boardwalk that will be ADA accessible, an extremely uncommon trait for these types of pathways. Site A also will include informal picnic areas, observation decks, and the renovation of both a house and barn. Bon said that the trail system will have to be pulled off property lines as well. Bon said that “Site B” is trickier: it is much harder to get to, has less parking, and the trail system is harder to orchestrate due to property lines. The city hopes to keep Site B as natural as possible. Bon said there are natural flowing waterfalls, depending on the time of the year, and lots of wildlife. The city would like to build a bird blind, a structure that people can step into and see the birds without being seen. They also would like to add a boardwalk and habitat restoration to provide environmental education opportunities. On Site B, there is the Reard House, which has been improved and renovated through volunteer work and grants, a historic sauna, which the city hopes to reconstruct into restrooms, and the Tanner

City officials estimate that Site A will cost $2.67 million for design and construction and then an additional $1.12 million for maintenance. Site B is estimated to cost $1.4 million for design and construction, with an additional $273,000 for maintenance. This means that the total cost estimate for the alternative Big Rock Park plan would be approximately $4 million to design and construct and then and approximately $385,000 to maintain, Council member Nancy Whitten said she would like to see a playground at the entrance of either site to fulfill the broader needs of community members. Other council members expressed serious consideration in installing a zip-line. Bon said she would look into both of these additions. The coming months will include the adoption of a park plan (April 2014), the beginning of phase one design (May 2014), and then the hopes of beginning construction next spring (Spring 2015).

Greenway designation gains speed

The campaign to have the U.S. Congress designate the Mountains to Sound Greenway as a National Heritage Area reached a milestone in late January with over 1,000 people signing a petition for the designation. The legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Dave Reichert in 2013, and the Greenway Trust is actively working with Sen. Maria Cantwell’s staff to have a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate. The national designation will provide the recognition and resources needed to increase the visibility of the Greenway and conserve the landscape for future generations. National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, and historic resources combine to tell an important story of the nation’s heritage. There is strong bipartisan support for the designation, from the Kittitas County Commissioners and King County Council, to Gov. Jay Inslee and Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark. The Rural Majority, a coalition focused on protecting rural lands and lifestyles in King County, recently signed on.

important than our investment?” Janet said that stores like theirs were not considered in the process of Initiative 1183, and now there is finally a bill that would help them provide more of a variety, and yet again they were tossed to the sideline. “Nobody is looking out for us,” Janet said. “If we don’t make it, then the small wineries in eastern Washington

in Oregon, and the small distilleries in Washington and Oregon won’t have an outlet to sell their product, and it will flow downstream. Eventually they won’t be able to be in business,” she said. “It’s hurting the industry as a whole in the state.” Kelly Montgomery: (425) 391-0363 kmontgomery@issaquahreporter.com

Time to end big pollution source

ater samples at more than 80 public beaches in the Puget Sound region show fecal coliform bacteria levels that exceed levels considered to be safe. Harmful bacteria pollute fish, shellfish, and other food harvested from our waters. They make our beaches inaccessible for recreational use. Federal, tribal, state and local governments are working to identify and correct pollution sources that harm our waters and marine life. Creosoted pilings are being removed. Changes in agricultural practices are keeping ag waste from streams. But there is another pollution source – a big one – that hasn’t been addressed until now: sewage from boats and ships. Under current federal regulations, Richard Walker treated sewage may be discharged from a ship or boat anywhere in Puget Sound, and untreated sewage may be discharged as long as the boat is more than three miles from shore. (Marine sanitation devices that grind up waste and add disinfectant before discharging into marine waters are considered treatment, but these systems do not meet state standards for protecting water quality and public health, according to the Department of Ecology). Ecology, the Department of Health and the Puget Sound Partnership have drafted a proposal to make Puget Sound a No Discharge Zone and are submitting it as a draft petition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If established, all boats – whether a cruise ship, freighter or pleasure craft – would have to store their sewage until they could safely dispose of it at an onshore or mobile pump-out facility, or hold it until it can be discharged in the open ocean beyond three miles from shore. The proposed zone extends from Puget Sound, including Lake Union and Lake Washington, north to the 49th parallel, including the San Juan Islands, and west to New Dungeness Lighthouse. The No Discharge Zone proposal would require a change in practices by those on the water, but it’s a change from which we, and future generations, will benefit.

A nine-month breather for Inslee

N

o one could be happier to see state lawmakers wrap up and head home than Gov. Jay

Inslee. They departed a week ago and won’t return until January 2015. That gives the rookie Democratic governor nine-plus months to get some work done without interruption or interference from those who’ve foiled him repeatedly since he arrived in Olympia. Jerry Cornfield Inslee is still getting the hang of the give-and-take of the legislative process after two sessions. Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate are beginning to accept the congressman-turned-governor is a product of his past political life in Washington, D.C. They’ve come to expect he’ll rail on Republicans when he considers them obstructing his path and cast no unkind words at Democrats when they thwart his wishes. As a result, his influence this session

seemed muted on the most talkedabout policy disputes like transportation, medical marijuana and revising the teacher evaluation system to secure a federal education waiver. Several lawmakers wrangling on the waiver matter shrugged at learning two days before the end of the legislative session, Inslee traveled to Snohomish County to conduct his own closed-door talks on education — with second-graders. Such an attitude underscores why Inslee is looking forward to not having lawmakers around for a few months. Ditto for his advisers who hope to capitalize on this opportunity to advance a mostly-stalled political agenda and leave his imprint on the state. To accomplish this, there is an expectation Inslee will rely on every available instrument of power and exercise every available ounce of authority allotted governors through the state constitution. He demonstrated a willingness to push the bounds in February when he declared a moratorium on use of the death penalty in Washington, putting an end to executions for at least as long as he holds office.

?

Question of the week: “ Do you have your brackets filled out for March Madness?”

In the coming months, it is anticipated he will issue a variety of executive orders to undertake new policies, practices and initiatives outside the reach of legislators. Already this year he’s signed noncontroversial ones creating a task force to boost the outdoor recreation industry and increasing the number of state employees working flexible hours and telecommuting. His critics are nervous the governor might use the powers of his office to do something on much bigger issues like raise the minimum wage for workers paid under state contracts or require state agencies to only purchase fuel with less carbon in it. Whether Inslee could make such moves or do anything close isn’t clear. He’s got nine-and-a-half months to explore the possibilities and many of his political opponents couldn’t be less happy about it. Jerry Cornfield is a political reporter who covers Olympia for The Daily Herald in Everett, which is among the Washington state newspapers in the Sound Publishing group.

Krishnaswami-Salman duo wows in concert BY KELLY MONTGOMERY

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Sammamish residents experienced a very special musical experience Tuesday night when the Krishnaswami-Salman duo visited Sammamish Presbyterian Church for their fifth time, performing a blend of French and German musical pieces. The concert, presented by the Sammamish Arts Commission and cosponsored by the city and 4Culture, featured Rajan Krishnaswami on cello and Mark Salman on piano. The Simple Measures concert first featured French music, including a playful sonata by Francis Poulenc which was reminiscent of French cabaret music combined with American jazz influences. The second half consisted of German composer Richard Strauss' early work, portraying youthful exuberance and enthusiasm in the style of the late 19th century Romantic period. Krishnaswami and Salman have

more children in need. Because their own children were a few weeks old before they could take them home, Karen knew this meant that someone else had cared for them, had held them, and had loved them for weeks before she could be their mom. "I wanted my kids to know that there wasn’t a minute that went by when someone didn’t love them," Karen said, adding that foster care was a way to pay-it-forward. The couple now reside in Redmond.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain

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.

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The city of Issaquah has signed off on a permit to remodel the vacant 49,516 square-foot former Albertsons building at 5530 East Lake Sammamish Parkway into a two-tenant building, with Value Village being the primary tenant. The building has been vacant for almost five years, with the exception of the Spirit Halloween Store occupying it during Halloween season. Savers/Value Village, based in Bellevue, touts it’s business model as “one of the largest recyclers of used goods in the world, saving more than 600 million pounds of quality merchandise from landfills each year."

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastside Catholic School debuted "Guys and Dolls" last night at the Lyceum Theatre in Skyline High School, with shows running through Sunday. "Guys and Dolls" premiered on Broadway in 1950 and ran for more than 1,200 performances before winning a Tony Award for Best Musical. In 1955, it was made into a movie starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine. The broadway play is an adaptation of Damon Runyon's short stories, featuring singing and dancing gangsters and gamblers, with some romance involved of course. Stephanie Wolff, an Eastside junior, takes center stage as Miss Adelaide. "I'm really excited that we got this group of people together and formed this family," she said. "We're going out there and using all of our talent to make this art up on stage." When auditioning, Wolff was asked to do the "Adelaide voice". Unfamiliar with the Adelaide character and the play in general, Wolff made something up and ended up with her first lead role. "I'm very nervous," she said. "I've always kind of been in the background." Wolff said that for the past couple of weeks, the "Guys and Dolls" cast has been practicing until 8 or 9 p.m., and before every performance, the cast joins together for a group prayer and shake-down to relieve stress, calm nerves and get them ready for the stage.

of the lead males as Nathan Detroit. "It's a lot of work,” he said. “But it's really rewarding. We've got such a great cast... and we’ve put a lot of work into this play. It came out really well.” Welsh said the drama program at Eastside Catholic struggles with space -- the "Guys and Dolls" cast had to rehearse in a classroom before being moved up to the wrestling room, then the school gym, and then finally the Lyceum Theater at Skyline a week before performances. "It's a big adjustment and we have to make it really fast…and we’ve done that, which makes it really great and really fun," he said. Tom Taylor, Eastside Catholic’s drama

Questions face preps as spring season begins

two seasons end against Bellevue. Colin MacIlvennie, an All-American and Maryland commit, gives the Crusaders a top-shelf threat, and Ross Komenda is another returning player with a decorated history and offensive potency. Issaquah finished the 2013 regular season 10-4 and at the top of the conference standings, earning a bye in the first round of the playoffs. But a 6-5 defeat to Mercer Island prematurely ended the season for a program looking for its first title game appearance since 2009. Skyline and Eastlake made it four playoff teams from the area in boys lacrosse last year, as the Spartans fell to King’s Way in the first round and Eastlake beat Curtis before losing to Bellevue.

BY JOSH SUMAN ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Spring sports are underway around Issaquah and Sammamish, with a host of teams and individuals looking to make a run at a state championship in 2014. The Reporter takes a look at some of the key questions as the season begins.

Who survives to postseason on baseball diamond? Issaquah, Eastlake and Eastside Catholic picked up season opening wins in nonconference games, and each is looking to take the next step in the postseason after disappointing finishes to 2013. The Eagles were a game away from another trip to the 4A state tournament before falling to Cascade (Everett) in the KingCo-Wesco crossover game, while Eastside Catholic thought it had another 3A state trip locked up before instead being felled by the rulebook. Skyline, which dropped its first game this year 3-2 to EC, was the regular season division champion last year before faltering in the conference tournament and missing out on a trip to state.

Can golfers claim individual, state championships? The Wolves return plenty of depth on the girls side, after a deep postseason run last year, including a third place finish at state. Eastlake ended 2013 only a point out of third, as Ashley Fitzgibbons ended the meet in a tie for seventh place. Maddie Nelson, a sophomore, shot a three under-par 33 to begin this season for the Wolves in a lopsided win over Garfield, while senior Jamie Midkiff gives Eastlake another viable state championship threat. Eastlake took the team scoring champi-

Does anyone return to Sparks? No team from the area made it to Puyallup and Sparks Stadium for the semifinals of the state soccer tournament in 2013, as only Skyline reached the field of 16. The Spartans fell to Puyallup in the first round and have lost their past two state tournament games since beating Eastlake

for the 2011 4A state title.

Any challengers to boys lacrosse throne? Bellevue has taken the past two boys Division I lacrosse state titles, and has another squad led by future collegiate talent as it goes for a three-peat this spring. Eastlake took its shot last year in the first round, falling to the Wolverines in the opening round of the playoffs, while Eastside Catholic has seen each of its last

Keegan Symmes is gone after a host of state placings last season, as is sixth place javelin thrower Garett Corlis. Kansas commit Dorie Dalzell, who was fourth in the girls 400 meters last year, will lead the way for the Spartans along with fellow returning state competitors Alexis Daugherty and Samantha Krahling. Senior Gabrielle Gevers takes her final run as a prep after a sixth place finish in the 100 meter dash at the 2013 state track and field meet. The Eagles girls should also be a threat for a state title in the relays, as they lose only Grace Englund from their 800 and 1,600 meter relay squads. Amanda Chalfant, Gevers, Juliana da Cruz, Mack Wieburg, Cayla Seligman, Alia Sugarman and Colette Lerkantitham were part of last year’s state contingent. Troy Lewis is the lone returning state competitor for Eastlake on the boys side, after finishing fifth in the 200 meters last season. Ellie Woerner will try and better her funner up finish in the 100 hurdles and eighth place finish in the 300 meter hurdles as a junior this year. Woerner and five others will return from last year’s sixth place 800 meter relay team, as well.

Eastlake, EC raise, funds for cancer research BY JOSH SUMAN ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

For the past two seasons, Eastside Catholic’s volleyball team has turned one of its games into a recognition of coach Angie McKinnell’s fight with cancer, raising funds and awareness for the disease by playing a game dedicated to the No One Fights Alone campaign for cancer research. On March 15, the goodwill extended to the lacrosse field. The Crusaders, which reached the Division I state semi finals last year in boys Division I lacrosse, hosted 2013 playoff team and Sammamish neighbor Eastlake at Charlie Acosta Field in the season opener for both teams, and with much more than a 1-0 record on the line. Before the season began, EC captains approached new head coach Gordon MacIlvennie and school administration about hosting a No One Fights Alone game, similar to what has happened on the volleyball court the past two years. The motto is part of the Choose Hope movement, which supports cancer research and provides various avenues to support for those fighting the disease. Many lacrosse players have been avid supporters as the school’s volleyball coach has battled cancer, and

with a classmate recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, they saw the opportunity to once again stand with one of their own through a difficult time. “We were all-in,” MacIlvennie said. “It’s an awesome concept and great the boys took it upon themselves to follow and support their fellow classmate.” For Eastlake, the cause is also close to home. Chuck Lee, a former head coach

and assistant with the high school program, passed in February after his own battle with cancer, and after a career as a teacher and coach in the area. Saturday, his legacy was present at the game through former Wolves’ players, as well as Lee’s son and wife. The event included a presentation to the Lee family, as well as a releasing of balloons in his memory. “It’s a great opportunity,” Eastlake coach Chris O’Dougherty said

before the game. “He was a jolly guy, and all the guys learned passion for lacrosse and passion for life from him.” For Tom Keogh, who became junior varsity head coach, Lee was a colleague, mentor and friend. Despite a lack of playing experience in lacrosse during his own youth, and his only coaching experience coming in the Wolves’ junior program, Keogh said Lee called him, “out of the blue,” about handling the high school’s JV program. “He told me it was just like basketball,” Keogh recalled. “He was such a class act, and always had the big picture in mind.” The initial season in the prep ranks was anything but easy for the first time high school coach, and Keogh recalled one time in particular when Lee’s perspective as a longtime educator and leader played an invaluable role. “I confided in Chuck that it wasn’t working out; I couldn’t get consistent control of this crazy group,” Keogh said. “He just looked at me and said, ‘That’s what high school kids are.’ He talked me off the ledge.” When it came to the game, Eastlake and Eastside Catholic’s current coaches said spirited competition would be the most fitting way to honor the memories and struggles of those battling cancer, including

Lee. “They are always special games, and hard fought,” MacIlvennie said of contests between the three Sammamish schools. “It just means so much to the players, coaching staffs and each school to start one of many No One Fights Alone events on the Plateau.” O’Dougherty said his players approached him last year about having Lee on the sidelines for a game, something he quickly found carried meaning beyond the white lines of the field. “He was motivation for all of us,” O’Dougherty said. “You never would have known he had cancer. He carried himself above it all, and he was a true inspiration for our players.” The pregame festivities included a barbecue, which raised a total of $1,700 for Seattle Children’s Hospital and the American Cancer Society. More importantly, it gave players and families in both programs a chance to remember the resolve and selflessness of those around them. “He always showed up, was always at practice,” Keogh said of Lee, adding he would bring a stool to sit on as his strength deteriorated. “None of them (Eastlake players) knew him not battling.”

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 agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

The Newest Bank In Town Has A Very Familiar Look To It. When Bob Ittes was asked to open a Whidbey Island Bank branch in Issaquah, he knew exactly who should help him run it. He’d worked closely with Carmen, Charlotte and Julie for decades. Melodee, Jaclyn and Dorothy were also obvious choices to round out the crew, as each had extensive experience with other banks in Issaquah and the surrounding communities. What made it an even better fit for the bank and the new staff was the common belief that a successful community bank is based on the support of local people and businesses. With everyone back together again, this team is poised to become the bank for the eastside of the eastside. So if you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with any one of these folks, you might want to stop by and get caught up. Because in today’s ever-changing world, a familiar face can make all the difference.
