THE WRITE STUFF Sammamish teen self-publishes creative novel

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Cian O’Farrell of Sammamish has always loved to read and write. So much so that the 13-year-old has his first self-published book on display in his middle school library. “When I was a little guy, I was always interested in books and my favorite place was the book shops and library,” he said. Roisin O’Farrell, Cian’s mom, said that Cian has high-functioning autism, and this process has meant the world to him. “I always wanted to write my very own book, but I never got it finished,” Cian said. During Thanksgiving in 2012, Cian was talking to his grandparents about writing his own book, and they gave him the money he

“He is well-known at the Sammamish library.” – Roisin O’Farrell, mother of Cian needed to get started. From there, a friend of the family, who is also self-published, showed Cian how to use the website CreateSpace. After going through a couple test copies, and

playing around with the colors, design and content, Cian’s book, “The Big Book of Stanley,” was published and uploaded to Amazon last October. “Everything between the covers is Cian,” Roisin said. Liam Scanlan, who helped Cian, said that while he helped Cian through the process, Cian wrote every single word himself. “When you consider how many folks voice their own aspiration to write and publish a book some day, it has been an inspiring and touching experience for all of us family members and friends to see Cian complete this all the way to the Amazon.com bookshelf,” Scanlan said. “It’s proof that this new SEE AUTHOR, 9

Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler has appointed Scott Behrbaum as the city's new police chief. “I am excited to appoint Scott as our community’s next police chief,” Butler said. “I admire the fairness and integrity that he brings to every situation. Moreover, his dedication to community policing – as demonstrated through his service Scott Behrbaum to Issaquah over the past two decades is a tremendous asset," Butler said in his appointment message on March 21.” The Issaquah City Council is scheduled to vote on Behrbaums' confirmation at its April 7 meeting. If confirmed, Behrbaum will succeed outgoing Chief Paul Ayers, who will retire April 15 after leading the department for seven years. Behrbaum has more than 18 years of service with the Issaquah Police Department. He has served as a patrol commander for the last six years in a variety of Issaquah Police Department roles, including patrol sergeant, crime prevention officer, narcotics officer and finally as the agency’s first school resource officer at Issaquah High School. Issaquah has a combined commissioned staff of 63 personnel.

Issaquah, water district sign agreement on storm water runoff BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District and the Issaquah City Council both voted unanimously to approve the inter-local agreement formally decommissioning the Lower Reid Infiltration Gallery. Both votes came at their respective meetings Monday, March 17. Also known as the LRIG, it is a footballfield shaped piece of land at the foot of the Issaquah Highlands. Called a vadose zone, it uses sand and gravel to naturally filtrate contaminants before they reach an underground aquifer. Issaquah, which owns the LRIG, was seeking a permit from the Department of Ecology to inject storm water from the Issaquah Highlands into the aquifer. The water district voiced its concerns over the practice — largely because it has

three wells nearby, including one 600 feet downhill. Issaquah City Council President, Paul Winterstein, said it was a very significant milestone. "There's more than one way to handle surface water correctly," he said, adding that any alternatives would be subject to a state environmental policy act review. The district agreed to pay the cost for the city to decommission the LRIG and to design, construct and install other storm water management projects, facilities or systems up to $1 million. The city has until the end of the year to inform the district of the estimated cost of any projects and a schedule for their completion. Then the city has five years to complete any projects related to the agreement. Linda Ball: 425-391-0363; lball@issaquahreporter.com

SAFETY FIRST

Proﬁts can’t come at the cost of killing customers

t is inexcusable that General Motors withheld critical safety information from the public for more than a decade about a deadly ignition-switch problem. During that time, at least a dozen people died in crashes the faulty switches that moved out of the run position, disabling power steering and brakes. Air bags also didn’t inflate. GM’s new CEO has apologized several times to families of those injured or killed in crashes. That’s nice – but not enough. What’s called for is a harsh and significant financial penalty not only to punish GM, but also to send a message to all manufacturers that problems and mistakes can’t be hidden for the sake of preserving their public image. That’s already happened in a similar case involving Toyota. The company last week said it will pay $1.2 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for hiding information in a car recall case. In that one, Toyota recalled some models when it discovered floor mats could trap gas pedals and make cars accelerate wildly. However, according to court records, the company recalled some models for the floor mats while knowing that others had the same problem. The company also concealed news about sticky gas pedals that could cause unwanted acceleration. In GM’s case, the amount of the Toyota settlement should be the starting point for any financial settlement. If the Toyota settlement is an eye-opener to manufacturers, what happens to GM should serve as a 2x4 to the side of the head. Every company wants to make a profit. But it can’t happen at the cost of killing some customers. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Some perspectives on Klahanie annexation

Dick L'Heureux, Klahanie

Compared to the drought in California, civil wars in Syria and Russia's invasion of the Crimean Peninsula, the issue of annexing the Klahanie Proposed Annexation Area (PAA) to Issaquah or its remaining in unincorporated King County doesn't seem quite so earth shattering. Now, if we shrink that subject even further – to recognize the overwhelming preference of a small portion of the PAA to annex to Issaquah – and annexing it, while recognizing the wish of the remainder of the area to not be annexed – by not annexing it – it seems even less traumatic. Even worrying about the shape of the area to be annexed pales in significance when we look at the many past Issaquah annexations and consider their shapes and sizes. If the city had put many of these past annexations through the same criteria filter that the three overwhelmingly "yes" precincts are being subjected to, I'm sure many of them would not be annexed now. In the interest of moving on, let us sincerely hope that the Issaquah City Council will make the decision to annex their consistently faithful areas, release

Question of the week:

“Do you favor the tax package to pay for Metro bus service?

Taxes? Ours head east

I was bemused by the cartoon in the March 21 Reporter "showing" why the Legislature cannot pass a transportation package. One wonders exactly which tax the cartoon’s harvester-operator believes will increase if the westside gets needed transportation infrastructure. Income tax? Ha! Business & Occupation Tax? Agriculture and ranching don’t pay that tax. Sales tax? Nearly all agricultural products are exempt. Fuel tax? Exempted on agricultural operations, but possibly it could impact taxes on personal driving. So let’s look at that: the 2013 County by County Transportation Analysis shows the estimated return per dollar contributed for transportation from 11rural wheat-growing counties is $1.14. King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties receive $0.96 back in benefits for each dollar contributed. It seems some eastside legislators encourage a rift between Washington’s citizens, as the “Us against Them” mantra SEE LETTERS, 5

Issaquah, chamber to host tourism expert The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, in coordination with the city of Issaquah and local hoteliers, restaurants and hometown attractions, is hosting Roger Brooks in a community presentation on developing Issaquah’s tourism. “We are excited for Roger to begin his work developing a business plan for Issaquah tourism,” said Matthew Bott, chief executive officer for the Chamber. “A strong tourism and community promotion initiative support our business districts, retailers, restaurants and hotels, as well as our tourism amenities and local nonprofit organizations.” From his popular book, “Your Town: A Destination,” Brooks will cover the major rules and best practices on all aspects of

how communities of Issaquah's size, and Issaquah specifically, can plan, coordinate and enhance community promotion results. “Tourism is a multi-billion dollar industry in Washington state, and it is time for Issaquah to get its share of these resources,” Brooks said. The chamber’s tourism committee, which includes Issaquah attractions such at the Village Theatre, the Historical Society, Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, Boehm’s Chocolates, artEAST, restaurants, hotels and outdoor recreation leaders, has been developing a stronger and more collaborative tourism infrastructure during the last several years. “Tourism promotion is not only about bringing new customers to our businesses,

but also it is the gateway for residential relocation and business recruitment efforts,” Bott said. “Having a plan for this work will be important to Issaquah’s future, and we are thrilled with the city/chamber partnership on this work.” Brooks is one of America’s most soughtafter destination development and community promotion experts, helping communities of all sizes improve their share of tourism and visitor dollars and improved branding/marketing. "I have seen Brooks present before and he is extremely engaging,” said Keith Niven, Issaquah's Economic Development Department director. “He has done work in Whistler, Ocean Shores and countless other places. We are lucky to have such worldrenowned expertise working to help our

local tourism industry.” Brooks, who was hired by a partnership between the chamber, city and Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, will develop a business plan for Issaquah tourism. This presentation is a part of his work, and will serve as a kickoff for his stakeholder outreach and research, which will take place over the next four months. The final tourism business plan will be delivered to the community this summer. The presentation will be from 6-8 p.m. March 31 at the Pickering Barn, 1730 10th Ave. N.W. in Issaquah. The public is invited, but registration is strongly encouraged to ensure a seat. Attendees can register online at www.issaquahchamber.com by March 28.

Nystrom named executive director of LEO

seems to keep their votes coming. However, reality is that the Puget Sound region is the economic engine of Washington state. With only 51 percent of Washington’s population, King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties produce 68 percent of Washington’s payroll, and 59 percent of taxable sales, which fund the state along with the B&O tax. Total covered wages paid by all agricultural crop production in Washington is about 0.93 percent of Washington’s payroll. Next time you’re stuck in urban gridlock, think about the legislators in eastern Washington voting against you – the person paying their bills. What the heck? Drive over there to visit your tax dollars.

Fred Nystrom has been named executive director of Life Enrichment Options (LEO), a community-based nonprofit that advocates for and assists individuals with developmental disabilities. Nystrom has a background in media and fundraising with both nonprofit organizations and businesses. He is involved in the Issaquah community, serving previously as a board member for the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and the Issaquah Schools Foundation.

When the city incorporated in 1999, Sammamish inherited an agreement with Comcast from King County which included the associated revenues and service expectations.

And while there have been many complaints, no other cable franchise operates within Sammamish city limits. "Competition creates a better quality of services," Yazici said. "Right now, there is no competition. There is no alternative out there." Yazici asked what can be done to improve the city's current situation. Kamuron Gurol, Sammamish development director, said there are policy areas they would like to examine, like the service deficiencies experienced by Sammamish residents and businesses as well as the fees, standards and practices Sammamish receives compared to other cities. Gurol said the city has three revenue options. The first option is what the city is currently doing – working under a franchise fee which is levied on private utilities, in exchange for the use of city right-of-ways. These funds are unrestricted, but the city is concerned that there is no way to know that they are collecting the right amount. Last year through this option, the city received approximately $600,000 from Comcast. The second option is a cable utility tax that would be levied on gross cable television revenues, so there is no limit on rate. Gurol said that at 6 percent, the yield would be about $700,000. The funds from this tax would be unrestricted. The third option is a Public, Education and Government (PEG) fee, which can be up to $1 per customer per month. The funds from this option can be spent on capital purchases for government or public broadcasting. Like the cable utility tax, there are no restrictions on how the city uses the fees. Gurol said that the estimate for this option has yet to be determined. Sammamish's franchise agreement is non-exclusive under federal law, which means that another cable company could come in and serve Sammamish. However, the city's agreement with Comcast contains a clause that forbids the city to offer and obtain a better deal from a different cable franchise provider. Because of this, it makes it difficult for Sammamish to refuse a renewal agreement with Comcast. Council member Nancy Whitten said she would like that clause removed, and would like to focus on the parts of Sammamish not currently being served at all. Council member Tom Odell suggested looking at the length of the contract with Comcast, to give the city flexibility in selecting other options. Several council members agreed that looking at new technology options couldn't hurt, as well. Council member Bob Keller said they should focus on the future and what will make Sammamish better in the years to come. The city said that the next steps are to compare cable franchise fees with nearby cities, look at utility tax options, and evaluate service expectations. They will continue to discuss options at future city council meetings. Kelly Montgomery: 425-391-0363; kmontgomery@issaquahreporter.com cubcadet.com

self-publishing technology is not just about making it easier for established authors, but also about some of the less likely authors among us being recognized as equally valid contributors to the world of literature.” The book follows a boy, Stanley, who attends Walt Disney Elementary School – a school that teaches you how to write stories and make movies, Cian said. One of the stories is titled “Prince Stanley of Ireeasha” and another “Stanley’s Fantastic Christmas.” Cian said he went to the library and took parts from all of his favorite books and then created his own story – his favorite part of the whole process. His two favorite books right now? Geronimo Stilton and Captain Underpants. “He is well known at the Sammamish library,” Roisin said. Roisin and her husband are both from Ireland, where their families still reside. During the holidays, the O’Farrell’s visited their family in Ireland and brought copies of Cian’s book. But it didn’t stop there. Cian decided that he wanted to donate proceeds from the book to the Special Olympics of Washington. Cian has played many sports through the organization and wanted to give back, so he donated $100 of his earnings. Cian, who attends Pine Lake Middle School, said that the book was added to his school’s library and his friends loved it.

Cian poses with his novel, “The Big Book about Stanley.” KELLY MONTGOMERY,

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER.

“It was pretty exciting when the library did that,” Roisin said. As far as the future, Cian said he has no doubt that he wants to be a writer. But he’s focusing on the now and plans to continue writing and self-publishing his work. “This book shows that the dedication and focus of a high functioning autistic child can do what most of us don’t have the staying power to achieve,” Scanlan said.

Auction to support autism programs, April 25 Experiences, not objects, are being collected for the fundraising portion of the Perspectives on Autism Day events at Eastside Catholic on Saturday, April 26. April is Autism Awareness Month. The evening program at Eastside Catholic was coordinated to compliment the Third Annual Autism Acceptance Video Game Tournament at Bellevue College, beginning on the same day as the auction. “The programs being planned at BC in the morning and at Eastside Catholic that afternoon have been created to be both practical and engaging for parents, caregivers and for young people on the spectrum of autism,” explained Lynne Banki, the founder of Autism Day Washington. “We want the items in our auction to be equally unique and engaging.” Banki said shadowing professionals in

the workplace and outdoor adventures are the type of experiences she would like to see auctioned during the Perspectives event next month. She also would like to see pieces of original artwork and educational experiences, such as admission to local museums, donated to help support parents and young people on the Eastside who live with the reality of autism every day. The video game tournament at Bellevue College is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the Perspectives program following at Eastside Catholic School. It will conclude no later than 8 p.m. Additional information on this year’s event is available at www.autismdaywa. org. For information on donations or participation, contact Banki directly at lynne@autismdaywa.com or call 425802-7420.

Skyline after return trip to state BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

After posting a perfect record in conference play during the regular season, and earning a spot in the 4A KingCo title game and state tournament, Skyline looked poised for another deep postseason run in 2013. But a pair of losses in its final two games unceremoniously ended their campaign, and the loss of six all league honorees from that squad leaves the task of redemption to a new mix of Spartans. One player KingCo foes likely wish had moved on is senior forward Jason Twaddle, a multiple time All-KingCo selection and one of coach Don Braman’s most prolific offensive options. “He is a capable player,” Braman said. “We’re going to need to see quality in order for us to be successful.” Skyline has dealt with injuries already on the young season, and Braman said putting his top group together on the field for a prolonged stretch will ultimately decide the fate of a team looking for its first state tournament win in two seasons. Along with Twaddle, Braman said junior forward Nate Hardwick and junior midfielder Sean Curtis will be counted on

to create offensive opportunities. He also pointed out senior defender Jake Therrien for his early season contributions. “I expect Nate and Sean to do some of the heavy lifting for us this year,” Braman said, adding formations and personnel details have yet to be finalized due to injuries. “We’re still working through some of the details.” While Braman will miss the services of his departed seniors from a team that went 10-0-0 before faltering in the playoffs, sophomore Matthew Richardson and senior Nihar Baxi appear ready to step into the vacated roles. Baxi did not play with the high school team the past two years, and along with Richardson is seeing his first varsity action for a team looking to reestablish itself at the top of an always difficult conference. “We’re going to have to figure out how to play together and cover for each other,” Braman said. “This is a team that should have its sights set on the playoffs, no question.”

Familiar face leading Eagles Issaquah owned a 2-0-1 record at the Reporter’s press time, and is making a push for the top of KingCo with a familiar face in a new role.

Spartans race past Newport on track BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Skyline started the track and field season last week against conference foe Newport in a dual meet. Sophomore Rashaad Boddie ran 11.14 seconds in the 100 meter dash to pick up the win, while Lane Mallula took the 200 and Tyler Ma finished in front in the 400. The Spartans dominated on the boys side, as senior Brendan Long won the 800, Joey Nakao took the 1600 and Ryan Abrahamsen won the 3200.

Skyline’s Lee sets record Bryan Lee, a senior at Skyline, broke the school’s decade-old discus record with a throw of 156 feet, 3.5 inches in the team’s dual meet with Newport, besting the old mark by more than a foot. Paul Clary had a throw of 155 feet in 2004 for the Spartans.

Lacrosse teams in NWI Skyline, Eastlake and Issaquah are in the 18 team field for the Northwest Invitational, one of the top lacrosse tournaments in the region. A host of teams from Washington, including the hosts from Mercer Island, along with teams from British Columbia, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon will compete over the weekend in what has become a showcase event for prep lacrosse in the area. Skyline is set to face a pair of Oregon schools at the event, after taking care of Liberty 14-1 March 21 to pull its mark even on the year at 2-2 at the Reporter’s deadline. The Spartans faced Lake Washington Wednesday, and take on Southridge at 4 p.m. Friday at Mercer Island High School and Jesuit the following afternoon at 2 p.m. at Islander Middle School. Charlie Kurtenbach scored six goals and Jimmy Bucy and Michael Cowin each added two more in the win over the Patriots, while Rob Hild and Kyle Kuberski combined for seven saves in net. Kurtenbach also scored three goals to lead the offense for the Spartans in a loss to

Issaquah came back from that win wither another one-run affair, this time a 2-1 victory over West Seattle at Safeco Field to move its record to 3-0 on the season.

In the sixth it was a Jacob McBride double scoring Nik Sutherland for what would prove the game winning run, as David Van Halm worked a scoreless sixth and seventh for Is-

saquah to preserve the win. The Eagles played rival Newport to open the 4A KingCo season after the Reporter’s deadline, and host Garfield at 3:30 p.m. Friday.

Issaquah High grad heading to L.A. for in singing competition mixed a cappella group. She is pursuing a degree in music. Chatterton grew up in a musical household with a father who plays piano and a mother who sings. This is the first time she’s been part of an a cappella group. “It’s kind of like being in a great relationship. It’s not a connection you find every day,” she said. The name Boots ‘n’ Cats was suggested as a joke, but it stuck. Repeating the words boots and cats while emphasizing only the consonants is a way for beginners to grasp the concept of beat boxing, aka vocal percussion. The group sings feel-good music

with toe tapping beats. Each song tells a story, and the group’s set arrangement tells another story. It’s a 12-minute presentation that compels anyone within earshot to groove along. Boots ‘n’ Cats finished second out of 10 groups in the February quarterfinals at Pacific Lutheran University. The placement advanced them to the semifinals next month at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif. The winners of that contest will advance to nationals on April 26 in New York City. To learn more about the group, find them on Facebook. For more information about CWU’s music department go online to cwu.edu/music.

Issaquah teachers honored by Symetra Symetra and the Seattle Seahawks honored two Issaquah teachers along with 14 others in the Puget Sound-area as Symetra Heroes in the Classroom during the 2013 NFL season. The awards came at a special celebration at CenturyLink Field on March 14. Among the 2013 honorees were Jeannie Joseph, a Language Arts and Social Studies instructor at Issaquah Middle School, and Heather Ireland, an 8th grade Mathematics instructor at Beaver Lake Middle School. Ireland was nominated as a Symetra Hero in the Classroom by Beaver Lake Principal Stacy Cho. “Heather Ireland cares so much about Beaver Lake’s students,” said Cho. “She realized that 8th grade is such a pivotal year in students’ lives as they make choices that will have an impact on their path in life. Heather wanted to help build her students’ confidence not only through math skills, but also with guidance on how to transition into becoming a responsible adult. She is a wonderful role model, and she contributes mightily to our mission that

them feel good about themselves and just like the other kids,” said DeRosa. “When students feel good about themselves, both their behavior and learning improves. A gracious, caring and strong advocate for students, it’s no wonder that Jeannie is respected by staff, administration and parents — and loved by her students.” Joseph was honored during a school presentation on Oct. 29, 2013, and acknowledged during an on-field presentation at the Nov. 3 Seahawks–Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.

Police reports from Issaquah and Sammamish

Sammamish March 15 Reckless driving: An 18-year-old male was charged with reckless driving after attempting to pass his friend driving a black Mercedes on the roadway with his silver Mustang. The young adult spun out after losing control and collided with a 30-foot cherry blossom tree in a Sammamish resident’s front lawn. He appeared to be intoxicated but blew a .000. He was picked up by his

mother and taken to the hospital for treatment. Van entered: Someone broke into a Sammamish resident’s van that was parked in his driveway on Northeast 19th Street. Neighbors said they heard two loud noises coming from the street, but looked outside and didn’t see anything.

After asking all occupants to exit the vehicle, the officer asked where the marijuana was and the detainees said they didn’t know what he was talking about. The officer informed them that if it was just a small amount, he would simply have it disposed of but needed the suspect to produce it. At that point the suspect opened his wallet and

After providing all of the information she realized it might have been a mistake and called her bank that said the email was not from them. The victim canceled her accounts and ordered new cards.

In 2001 he married Belen Castellano and was joined by her two sons, Christopher and Brandon. Pfitzner was handy in construction, remodeling his own home on Tiger Mountain and his parents' kitchen in Renton along with building a house and adding a deck and arbor to their house in the country. As a helicopter pilot, Pfitzner would give his siblings rides in helicopters and also hover over their homes, which made it look like a news event. One time he gave his nephew to a prom in a helicopter. He is survived by six siblings: Valerie (Leadon), Greg, Mark (Cindy), Diane (Michael Bautista), Philip and Carol Ann. He would travel to Spain to visit his wife's mother and father and her five brothers and their families.

The Grand Army of the Republic comes to Issaquah BY BRANDON CLAYCOMB

LEARN MORE

SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

When the Civil War began, it took a month to travel by boat and the Panamanian railroad from the Washington Territory to Washington, D.C. That distance and the region’s small population ensured that few territorial soldiers would serve with the Union armies in the east. However, the war did come to Washington eventually in the form of Union veterans who founded the politically influential lodges of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). Issaquah’s most prominent Civil War veteran was George Tibbetts, who settled in 1872 along the creek that still bears his name. Tibbetts had been only 16 years old when he enlisted with the 4th New Hampshire infantry in 1861, and he stayed with that regiment until the end of the war except for seven months spent in Confederate prisons. Like so many others, he then headed west, stopping in Missouri long enough to marry before continuing on to Oregon and then Washington. As he began his many successful business ventures, including a farm, a store, a hotel, and a coach line, Tibbetts also helped organize the first of the nearly one hundred GAR posts that would eventually form around the state. Members of these posts transformed their military camaraderie into business and political relationships that lasted for decades. Issaquah’s GAR meetings hint at two of the changes the war wrought locally. First,

dent Lincoln’s election in order to agitate unsuccessfully for secession in his native Kentucky.) After the war, immigrating Union veterans helped turn Washington into a long-time Republican stronghold. The town leaders who met at Issaquah’s GAR post probably did not invariably support Republican candidates, but like GAR members across the country, a sizable majority likely answered the call to former soldiers to “vote as you shot.” A second effect of the Civil War was the rise in status of African-Americans like Clark Harris. Social and legal equality would continue to be denied black Americans for many decades more, and if the war ended slavery, it did not end prejudice. Still, African-American veterans at least sometimes joined their white fellows to commemorate their shared service to their country, and this inclusion shows some of the progress won by the successful fight to preserve the Union.
