Bank robber now has a nom de guerre
During each robbery, he’s worn black sunglasses and a baseball cap, which led investigators to give him a nickname that acknowledges the robber’s penchant for sun protection. He’s also worn different hooded sweatshirts and a scarf over his face in two robberies. COURTESY PHOTO.
The man suspected of three bank robberies in Issaquah is now being called the "Summertime Heat Robber" by police. The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force now believes the man be responsible for bank robberies in Issaquah on Feb. 22 at approximately 10:45 a.m.; June 25 at approximately 12:15 p.m.; and most recently, July 11 at 2 p.m., all at Key Bank. Further investigation led the task force to revise its consideration of a connection between the subject and a June 21, Des Moines robbery, while identifying two other robberies as possibly connected. Witnesses describe the man as a white male, between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet
10 inches tall, with thin, dark hair. During each robbery, he’s worn black sunglasses and a baseball cap, which led investigators to give him a nickname that acknowledges the robber’s penchant for sun protection. He’s also worn different hooded sweatshirts and a scarf over his face in two robberies. The suspect made physical threats and, on one occasion, implied that he had a weapon. During the July robbery, he knocked over a security guard on the way out of the bank. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information as to the identity or whereabouts of the suspected robber should refrain from approaching
A mother’s anguish
Son leaves rehab only to die of suspected heroin overdose a day later By Linda Ball Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter
Kevin Velasco was released from rehab Saturday evening, July 12. He’d been there almost a month, and should have been there until July 17, but he was expelled for throwing a rock which hit a staff member. Had he not thrown that rock, he’d most likely still be alive. Velasco, 18, left his mom’s house on Mercer Island Sunday afternoon. By Monday morning, Kevin was dead from an apparent heroin overdose. He was delivered to Swedish Hospital in Issaquah Monday morning, July 14, at 7 a.m., dead on arrival according to a spokesman for Swedish. Conchita Velasco said he’d been in the Lakemont area of Bellevue, with a friend she’d always been uncomfortable with. Bellevue police responded to a Bellevue address for an overdose. The Velasco family, Conchita, Kevin and his younger brother, Edwin, used to live in Issaquah, but they moved to Mercer Island over three years ago to get away from a bad group of kids Kevin had become friends with. Kevin attended Issaquah High School for a short time, then he attended Mercer Island High School for the second half of his sophomore year and all of his junior year. Edwin will be a seventh-grader at Islander Middle School this fall. “I was glad we left Issaquah,” Conchita said. Before he went to rehab this most recent time, he’d been detained in Issaquah by IPD for a probation violation. He’d also gone to a drug rehab facility in Spokane.
Kevin and his mother, Conchita. She was worried about his association with some friends. COURTESY PHOTO. “He was working very hard not to be on drugs,” his mother said. She said she had found methadone in his room, with no prescription. Methadone is often used to wean a heroin addict off the drug. His friends from this most recent stint in rehab said a counselor was willing to write a letter that said he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone with the rock, that it was just horseplay. The day Kevin was brought to Swedish, he and his mom were supposed to appear in court to explain why he wasn’t still in the facility. Talking to Conchita, Edwin, and family
friend, Billy Mendez, by all accounts Kevin was a much loved kid, who like so many in recent years, had fallen victim to the highly addictive drug. Victoria Tranilla, who volunteers at The Meals Program in Issaquah, said Kevin thought of her as a second mom. “Sixteen- to eighteen-year-old girls are on the street on heroin – they sell drugs at the meal program – under the fire station across from City Hall.” Tranilla said she knew Kevin well. “Kids dropped him off at the ER at Swedish,” she said. “He was just dropped, like an animal. Somebody needs to pay. I’m angry.” Conchita said Kevin always told her how much he loved her. She knew of his addiction because he talked to her about it. He also told her he had a premonition that if he did drugs again he wouldn’t wake up. So when the police called her Monday morning from the hospital, her worst fear was confirmed. Wednesday evening, July 16, there was an impromptu vigil for Kevin at the Issaquah Skate Park, where he loved to skate. Organized by Tranilla’s son, Thor Rystad, approximately 250 people attended. The cross, flowers, balloons and well wishes are all at Conchita’s sister’s home now. Friends spoke lovingly of him on a poster board and the cross. One particularly poignant inscription from another boy, said he wished for the “good old days” before addiction took over their lives. At a joint meeting of the Issaquah and See kevin, 2

The task force includes members from the FBI, Bellevue Police Department, Auburn Police Department, King County Sheriff ’s Office and Seattle Police Department.
Quick work by EFR saves man's life A 54-year-old Sammamish man who was mowing his lawn experienced a sudden onset of chest pain, July 7. When his wife started to take him to the hospital, he lost consciousness in their vehicle. She called 911. Units from Eastside Fire and Rescue along with Medic 19 of the Redmond Fire Department were dispatched to the 29000 block of Northeast 25th Way at 6:36 p.m. Sammamish Police also responded and were able to secure a safe area for firefighters to administer aid to the man on the roadway. At 6:38 p.m. EFR Aid 82 arrived to find the man with no pulse and not breathing. The crew removed the patient from the vehicle and began providing CPR to the point where it looked as though he was showing signs of life, even though his heart was not beating. The CPR was so effective that the patient’s body was being oxygenated as if the heart was still beating. In addition, the EFR crews provided four defibrillator shocks prior to the arrival of the medics. Medic 19 responders intubated the patient and provided medications, while crews continued CPR. The crew of EFR Engine 81 arrived to help provide addition CPR help. The patient was shocked an additional eight times with the defibrillator. Thirty-five minutes after Aid 82 arrived the man was alive and taken to Overlake Hospital by Medic 19. He is now home and back to normal.

Sammamish city councils July 14, the day Kevin died, heroin was even part of the conversation. Issaquah councilmember Tola Marts said heroin was “the scariest thing to come along in a while,” and that the two cities needed to work on solving the problem together. The Reporter wrote about the heroin problem in April, 2013. According to the most recent statistics, in 2012 within the area of the Issaquah School District, there were 31 overdoses in the 19-30 age group, compared to 16 in 2009. In the age group

Kevin’s funeral was held July 22 at Flintofs Funeral Home in Issaquah, and was attended by approximately 70 people Mendez said. At press time, The Reporter is still waiting on updated overdose statistics, as well as the report from Bellevue Police. Linda Ball: 425-391-0363; lball@issaquahreporter.com

Eight Issaquah schools honored for conservation Eight schools in the Issaquah School District have been honored for cutting waste, conserving resources, and reducing costs through the King County Green Schools Program. The program has three levels that involve students and staff in learning about and practicing natural resource conservation. Maple Hills Elementary School achieved level one status through waste reduction and recycling. Four Issaquah schools received level two honors for such energy conservation practices as turning off lights in unoccupied rooms and setting thermostats between 68-70 degrees. They are Clark Elementary School in Issaquah, Issaquah High School, Skyline High School in Sammamish and Sunny Hills Elementary School in Sammamish. Three district schools achieved level three status for sustaining their level one west reduction practices and their level two energy conservation strategies, and educating students and staff on how to conserve

water and protect water quality. They are Endeavour, Grand Ridge and Sunset elementary schools, all in Issaquah. The Issaquah School District is using 5.4 percent less energy now than it did in 2000-01, even though it has added 25 percent more square footage in new and renovated school facilities. Overall, the district has saved about $7 million on utility bills by reducing waste disposal volumes and consumption of energy and water. “All Issaquah School District schools participate in the King County Green Schools Program because it has helped our students and staff to reduce waste, recycle, and conserve other resources such as energy and water,” said Issaquah School District Resource Conservation Manager John Macartney. “Compostable materials collection also has been established in nearly all our schools, with help from the city of Issaquah and King County, and that has added to the overall culture of conservation throughout the school district.”

Summer Grilling with QFC
S
ummer is finally here in the Pacific Northwest and that means it is time to dust off that patio furniture and fire up the grill! We interviewed QFC’s Meat Merchandiser, Jason Taylor, for some tips on grilling, picking the perfect cut of meat for your summer BBQ, and how to keep your food safe with the warm summer weather. Q: There are so many great options when you walk up to the meat counter. How do you pick out a good steak?
Jason Taylor
Jason: There are many steaks perfect for a summer BBQ! Ask the associates behind the counter for suggestions, or choose your favorites. Here are my top picks:
A bone-in Certified Angus Beef ® brand N.Y. strip steak is delectable option for summer grill gatherings. Strip steaks are one of the lean cuts, yet they also have abundant marbling for tender, juicy flavor. My personal favorite is the Certified Angus Beef ® brand boneless ribeye. It’s priced at $10.99/lb. all summer at QFC. This cut has a rich, beefy flavor that’s hard to beat. And because of the brand’s significant marbling, it will always be tender and juicy. It’s a great option for a summer dinner party. Finally, Certified Angus Beef ® brand boneless tenderloin steaks are amazingly tender. The tenderloin is also flavorful and juicy. This is an ideal steak for a special occasion.
treated at the hospital for more than seven years. Big Fish Grill is family owned and operated by Orrico and her children. They currently have three locations; Issaquah, Kirkland and Woodinville.
Boehm’s Candies to host Seattle nonprofit Boehm’s Candies will be hosting a family friendly, chocolate filled, povertyfighting auction fundraiser for The Borgen Project from 3:30-6:30 p.m. Aug. 9. The event will include live music, tours of Boehm’s, auctions, children’s activities and more.

The McDonald’s restaurant at 1305 Northwest Gilman Blvd. that was closed July 7 after raw sewage backed up into the kitchen, reopened July 14 after a successful re-inspection by King County Public Health. The problem was caused by the collapse of a main sewer line.
Spiritwood honored
Spiritwood at Pine Lake, together with seven other Village Concepts communities throughout Washington state, has been recognized nationally by the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living as a 2014 recipient of the Bronze Commitment to Quality Award for its dedication to improving the lives of residents through quality care.

Clarification
In the July 18 story about the “Little House” donated to Friends of Youth in Issaquah, YouthBuild is a program of the agency YouthCare, and Stephen Hinch is the program’s construction supervisor.
Q: You mentioned the Certified Angus Beef ® brand in your steak options. What is it?
Q: What other food safety tips do you have for cooking outdoors this summer?
J: To put it simply, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand is the best Angus beef available. It is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy thanks to superior marbling. Other labels may say Angus, but that’s where the similarities end. To earn the Certified Angus Beef ® Small Modest Moderate brand label, beef must grade upper Choice and Prime, passing the brand’s 10 quality standards to ensure great-tasting beef. It’s truly the best of the best — and you can USDA Choice find it at QFC here in the Pacific Northwest.
J: Food safety is our top priority at QFC. There are easy steps you can take to make sure that the products you purchase are always safe and of the highest quality.
Q: What are some tips you have for an amateur griller? J: Our highly skilled meat associates are a great resource! If you’re not sure how to pick out a good steak, how to cook it, or what sides would best complement a particular cut, just ask our folks behind the counter. They are always eager to help make you the hero of the kitchen or grill! There is a balance between cooking meat to a safe temperature, while also ensuring optimal flavoring. You should use a instant-read meat thermometer to be sure beef has reached a safe internal temperature. Ground beef should be cooked to 160 degrees. Steaks should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees for medium-rare. And don’t forget to allow meat to rest for several minutes before slicing, so those tasty juices can be reabsorbed.
•
When you are shopping, buy cold food right before checkout. Separate raw meat and seafood from other food in your shopping cart to help guard against cross-contamination.
•
Refrigerate all meat and seafood immediately once you arrive home from your trip to the store. Keep meat and poultry in a cooler when you transfer the meat for grilling. A good practice is to always pack beverages in one cooler and perishable meat and seafood in a separate cooler.
•
Don’t use the same platter and utensils for raw and cooked meat or poultry.
•
Always cook food to a safe minimum internal temperature. To ensure optimal accuracy, use an instant-read meat thermometer. Again, steaks, pork, lamb, and veal steaks must reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, ground beef 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and poultry to a minimum of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q: What if someone is looking for something quick and easy to grill? J: QFC has a variety of high-quality, ready-to-cook meat items at all of our stores. Two of my favorites include our popular Kalbi Marinated Flank Steak as well as our Beef & Vegetable Kabobs. Our ready-to-cook products take most of the prep work time out for you so that you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with friends and family! Paid Adver tisement

Heroin
Stopping this scourge will stop the heartbreak
T
oday’s story on page one by staff writer Linda Ball has to be wrenching to any parent. A young man, 18-years-old, became caught in the vice of heroin and apparently died of an overdose. The teen was struggling with his addiction and he was in a rehabilitation center. A rules infraction there, minor, by all indications, forced him out of the program a week early. Twenty-four hours or so after he was out, he was pronounced dead at Swedish Hospital in Issaquah. More and more, heroin is making the headlines here and throughout the country. It’s growing popularity stems from its relatively low cost and the fact that other drugs are becoming more difficult to obtain. A story in 2013 by Linda clearly shows that the problem of heroin is getting worse. In 2012, in the area within the Issaquah School District, there were 31 overdoses in the 19-30 age group, compared to 16 in 2009. In the age group 31-50, there were 25 overdoses in 2012 compared to 15 in 2009. Within the city limits of just Issaquah, there were 18 overdoses in the 19-31 age group in 2012 compared to eight in 2009, and in the 31-50 age group there were 15 overdoses in 2012 compared to seven in 2009. It’s not that officials – and parents – are unaware of the situation. Or that they aren’t trying to find ways to stop the spread of this curse that claims and kills people young and old. It’s just that once heroin gets a grip on a person, breaking free is very, very hard to do. Leaders in both the cities of Issaquah and Sammamish are aware of the problem and we are confident that they have, or will, make it a top priority. In addition, there are many agencies and organizations here in our communities to help people deal with this issue. We all need to help stop the scourge of heroin. If we do, we can end the heartbreak as well. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Election disinterest everywhere
T
here are hundreds of thousands of residents in the state registered to vote in the primary election now under way. Most won’t. I’ve heard from some eligible voters intending to sit this one out and return for the general election in November “when it matters.” One reason I understand is that ballots often include races with unopposed incumbents or only two candidates, Jerry Cornfield both of whom will advance regardless of their performance due to the top-two format. What’s the point, they say. If Washington state as a whole breaks the 30 percent turnout bar its scaled in the past, it will be an anomaly, as a new study this year found unusual levels of electoral disinterest in many parts of the country. The analysis released Wednesday by the head of the Center for the Study of the American Electorate found in the 25 states that have held statewide primaries for both political parties prior to July 1, voter participation is down by nearly one-fifth,

Question of the week: “Do you know of anyone who is addicted to drugs?”
compared to the 2010 primary. Fifteen of those states set new lows for turnout, according to the study. Nevada and Iowa didn’t break 10 percent and only four states – Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana and Nebraska – finished above the 20 percent level, according to the study. Curtis Gans, the center director cited a litany of factors contributing to why eligible voters don’t vote. Among them are attack ad-fueled campaigns “that give the citizen a perceived choice between bad and awful;” a lack of voters’ faith in government; the ideological bent of the two major parties; inadequate civic education; and the impact of modern technology which has “made grazing the Internet a substitute for reading the news” for many voting-age adults. “Many decades ago citizens turned out to vote out of a sense of civic duty and because of an allegiance to one or other major party,” Gans wrote. “That motivation has largely been lost.” Whether that will turn out to be the case will be known when balloting ends Aug. 5.

Sammamish
Impersonating an officer: A Sammamish homeowner said she received a call from someone claiming to be a Deputy with the King County Sheriff ’s Office. The man told the woman that her husband had multiple charges against him and that the police would be at their house in 45 minutes to arrest him. He asked for her financial information to take care of the charges. The woman said she was going to record him while he read the charges, to which the man responded “Alright baby.” The man then proceeded to talk “dirty” to her. She said the caller had a hispanic accent. The police called the number that was retrieved from the caller ID and were told they had reached a non-working number. This is the first time the homeowners have received a call of this nature.
June 19 Vandalism, Part I: Police were dispatched to East Lake Sammamish Park in the early morning after park workers noticed vandalism. There was toilet paper draped over trees and orange spray paint outside the bathroom. The spray paint said “ZION” with a slash through it as well as another symbol police were unfamiliar with. A shed had also been spray painted with “ZION” and an anti-Christ symbol, and the sidewalks were spray painted orange as well.

While police were at the school, staff members also discovered that a piece of playground equipment had been destroyed, of which the estimated replacement cost is approximately $400. The school’s facility supervisor was contacted who said it would take about $1,500 to fix the sign. No suspects at this time.

memo Microsoft’s plans include reducing “layers of management, both top down and sideways,” which includes increasing “the span of control” for those managers who will remain following the tech company’s restructuring. “This is a significant move just to significantly grow the company,” Schutzler said. “That’s awesome for us, as a region.” Microsoft estimates it will spend up to $1.6 billion in severance packages and other pre-tax charges, as a result of the restructuring, which Schutzler said will give Puget Sound employees time to find new employment. He added he’s already been contacted by an exMicrosoft executive now working for Amazon who is interested in hiring on laid-off Microsoft engineers.

jobs here,” Schutzler said. “… The net impact to the region ultimately is going to be positive economic development.” Many mid-level and senior managers for Microsoft have historically gone on to run their own startup companies, and Schutzler said he expects several to be laid off this year will use their severances to invest in new ventures. Schutzler said it’s important to remember Microsoft’s restructuring was prompted by Microsoft’s plans for future growth, and cutting out redundant positions doesn’t mean the company will not be adding positions necessary as part of its strategic goals. “I think Microsoft will be hiring a lot more people than they’ve laid off over the next couple of years,” he said. “… It’s a courageous move by Satya Nadella, if you think about it. He’s showing he’s got his eye on the ball and he’s a courageous leader. It’s awesome.” Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Skyline graduate receives Fulbright Scholar Award, will spend one year in Hangzhou By Kelly Montgomery Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter
Daniel Peng, a 2008 graduate of Skyline High School, will be taking off in September to lead a health education initiative in China through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Peng is one of over 1,800 U.S. citizens who will travel abroad for the 20142015 Daniel academic Peng year through the program. Recipients of Fulbright grants are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential. “The purpose of the grant is really people to people diplomacy,” Peng said. The Fulbright program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Peng said that while diplomacy is a large piece of it, the other is for him to go to China, learn about the Chinese culture and how their healthcare system works and bring that insight back to the U.S. He said that it’s important to give the Chinese a better idea of who Americans are, otherwise everything they think is simply from
the movies. Peng, who graduated in 2012 from Santa Clara University, had to apply for the program by writing a research grant, outlining what he intended to do throughout the year. His application was reviewed over the winter and spring months before his acceptance in June. Peng will be stationed at Zheijiang University where his speciality will be medicine and healthcare, analyzing large databases of Chinese patients to try and find a pattern. Peng previously worked as a research analyst at Stanford University studying type 1 diabetes and the effect on the brain. He also was a health educator for more than four years. He is currently working at a healthcare start-up company in San Francisco. Peng said he’s using the Fulbright program as a way to take a step back from his career and studies and explore what exactly he wants to accomplish in his life and in his career. “The biggest thing is just how much can I grow in this year,” Peng said. “In approaching any decision in terms of job or education, I’m thinking how much can I grow as a person, not just academically, but holistically.” Peng visited China multiple times growing up and is fluent in Chinese. In the summer of 2008, he taught conversational English to high schoolaged students in China and in 2010 received a sponsored year of study at Oxford University, focusing on philosophy and ethics.
ple to hear about them. “These programs were fully funded for me,” he said. “These are opportunities you can seize no matter how much money you have in the bank. You just have to work hard and know they’re there for you to take.” As far as future plans, Peng said he hopes to live a life where he can help people but still reserve time for his relationships and the people who really care about him. He’s still looking into medicine and may apply to medical school, but said he has very little confidence on what he will decide to do after this year. “My doors are open,” Peng said. “I’m hoping to soak in the experience and keep my eyes peeled for opportunities.”
Daniel Peng presents at the Pediatric Academic Society conference in Vancouver B.C. this past May. COURTESY PHOTO. “I’m a pretty multidimensional person,” he said. And Peng attests his early success to all of his various life experiences thus far. “I had fantastic teachers growing up,” Peng said. “All of my Skyline teachers were very supportive of me and gave me the confidence to kind of break out of the mold and take steps off the beaten path. All my influences growing up…my parents, my friends, my high school teachers, my college professors, my experience at Stanford…this entire thing (the Fulbright program) is a culmination of everything I’ve done prior to this.” Peng said he wish he would have been more aware of all the oppor-

More information is avasilable at 425-8361600. The new campus is located at 4588 Klahanie Drive S.E., Suite 401.Issaquah.
Emergency ordinance sets interim drainage regulations In the late 1800s, when hundreds of small lots were created along Inglewood Hill Road, there wasn’t much concern about drainage. But today, as many of those lots are being developed, the threat of runoff and landslides prompted the Sammamish City Council on July 15 to pass an emergency ordinance featuring significantly tighter requirements for 160 acres on both sides of the steep arterial. “Many of these small lots along Inglewood Hill Road drain into landslide hazard areas,” City Manager Ben Yazici said. “Now that the economy has picked up and we’re seeing a lot more development, we took what we think was a very necessary step." The old standards required a review of drainage plans if the new building featured 2,000 square feet of impervious surface or more. The emergency ordinance drops that threshold to 500 square feet. Although they took immediate effect, the interim regulations will be the subject of a public hearing on Sept. 2. “We want to hear from all stakeholders in the Inglewood Hill Road area,” Yazici said. “Our Planning Commission will be looking at this issue later this year, and the council will do the same in 2015. We would like to put permanent, wellthought-out regulations in place no later than next year.” In a related move, the city has budgeted $250,000 for the design of a pipe system that would safely take storm water down the slope of Inglewood Hill Road. If constructed, it would allow many of the new buildings in the area to funnel runoff into the central system.

Issaquah native, EC grad angling to a future in fly fishing
Davidson, who attended Eastside Catholic School, took a father and son duo on the Yakima River on his first trip as a guide, somehow masking his nerves and maneuvering his newly purchased drift boat to fertile fishing ground. “I remember it so clearly,” he said. “I immediately realized it was something I loved to do.” While Davidson looks back on that first trip with equal parts fondness and dread, for his lack of inexperience, the most acute memory is of the father and son finding the same enjoyment and bond he enjoys. “Fishing moments can change your life,” Davidson said. “There is nothing better than sharing those experiences with people.” Davidson continues sharing his experience as a guide, and also works in the same Creekside Angling fly shop he began coming to as a toddler on his father’s shoulders. Along with his knowledge of Pacific Northwest waterways and fishing runs, Davidson is perhaps best known in fishing circles for his status as one of the top young Spey casters anywhere. “He’s a knowledgeable kid,” Corbett said. “For 20 years old, it is unique.” When he isn’t guiding fishing trips on rivers around Washington, or working at Creekside Angling, Davidson is continuing his education at Bellevue College with the hope of eventually earning a degree in business or going into his father’s profession of real estate. But no matter where his career takes him, his fly rod and the Northwest’s most scenic locales will never be far away. “I will always, somehow, some way, have a relationship with the fly fishing industry,” he said. “I can’t leave it.”

Ricky Davidson remembers where it all started. The Issaquah native was only four years old when he began going to the backyard with his father, taking his first casts with a fishing pole, trying to hit dinner plates stationed around the yard as targets. While the practice lacked the obvious payoff of actual fishing, Davidson said it planted a seed that continues to sprout more than a decade later. “It became apparent really quickly,” Davidson said. “It was something I would be addicted to my whole life.” Addiction is the only appropriate analogy for the intense connection and nostalgia Davidson feels when he picks up a fly rod, which has become his tool of choice over the years. After developing his own angling abilities, he began taking friends on trips as a teenager. Eventually, the idea of becoming a fishing guide seemed the most logical outlet, and Davidson booked his first guided trip through Creekside Angling Co. in Issaquah at only 16 years old.

I want to bring some new ideas and perspective down to Olympia and my first hand knowledge on what is really going on."
Chad Magendanz
Colin J. Alexander
David Spring
“My first term representing the 5th Legislative District has included some very satisfying accomplishments, including a budget that enacted a 11.4 percent ($1.6B) increase in funding for Chad K-12 education and a Magendanz 12.4 percent increase in higher education with the first tuition freeze in 27 years," Magendanz said. "My policy work provided for a 24-credit high school diploma with greater expectations for science, consolidated the number of assessments required for high school graduation, expanded access to computer science in high school, measured economic success metrics in higher education, eliminated the in-state tuition waiting period for active duty military and veterans, and enabled equity crowd-funding for innovative new businesses. However, now that I’ve been elected to caucus
First-time candidate Colin J. Alexander has a degree in economics and political science from Central Washington University. Alexander is a resident of Fall City and identifies with the Colin J. Democratic party. Alexander "The main reason why I am running is because I am tired of the status quo and I hope to change that. We are constantly complaining about our elected officials, but we keep electing the same ones. Part of the problem is that new people are not challenging them. I also wanted to give my generation a voice," Alexander said. "We are so often overlooked, yet we are incredibly important for the future of this nation. Many of the issues that our legislature currently faces I have first hand experience with. While the people down in Olympia are getting their news from secondary sources – I have lived
David Spring, who challenged Magendanz two years ago, said, "I am a parent and a teacher. I am running for the Legislature in order to restore funding for our public schools. David I will do this by rolling Spring back tax breaks given by my opponent to wealthy multinational corporations like Boeing and Microsoft. This will not hurt either of these corporations as they can deduct their state taxes from their federal taxes," Spring said. "However, failing to fund our public schools harms our kids by depriving them of the opportunity for a good education. Corporate welfare for wealthy corporations also harms our economy by taking state revenue out of state to build sweatshops in South Carolina and China. Finally, corporate welfare for wealthy corpora-
tions also harms our democracy by turning our elections into bidding auctions between corrupt politicians willing to sell out our kids in order to pay for their re-election campaign mailers. It is time to end tax breaks for wealthy corporations and restore funding for our public schools. I am also running because I am a home owner and I oppose raising property taxes. My opponent supports the Ross Hunter property tax scam – a twisted proposal that would greatly increase local property taxes. We do not need to raise either property taxes or sales taxes to fully fund public schools. All we really need to do is roll back corporate tax breaks." Spring identifies with the democratic party.
Ryan Dean Burkett
Also a returning candidate is Ryan Dean Burkett of Issaquah, who ran for the same seat in 2012. A graduate of Mercer Island High School, he does not identify with any particular political Ryan Dean party. Burkett Burkett said, "I'm running for state representative because government should be restructured to better handle the ever changing environment that is Washington state."
Muni League ratings bring surprises in 45th District
By Matt Phelps
Reporter Newspapers
The Municipal League of King County released its ratings for 70 2014 legislative candidates, including those running in the 45th District that includes Sammamish. Two of the races showed challengers equal to or above the incumbent's Roger Joel Larry Brendan rating. Goodman Hussey Springer Woodward One of the biggest surprises was the rating for Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirkland), who holds Republican Joel Hussey. Position No. 1 in the 45th District. Goodman's Hussey maintained a rating of "Very Good" from when he rating dropping two places from "Outstanding" in 2012 to challenged Goodman in 2012. "Good" this year. "I was mystified by this year's rating," said Goodman. "It's "In my line of work, we call that a two-step downgrade, difficult to understand how a candidate's rating can bounce which is really quite serious," said Goodman's opponent, from 'Very Good' to 'Good' to 'Outstanding' to 'Good' over

PUBLIC NOTICES Darren Ludwigsen with Summit Homes of Washington LLC, 16000 Christensen Road, Suite 303, Tukwila, WA 98188, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Ivy 12 Subdivision, is located at 17XX 248th Avenue SE in Sammamish, in King County. This project involves 2.32 acres of soil disturbance for construction activities related to a residential development (i.e. clearing, rough and fine grading, single family residential housing construction, AC paved road and access/driveway construction, concrete sidewalkconstruction, 248 Avenue SE widening, utilities construction, detention vault and water quality vault construction, etc.). The receiving water is City of Sammamish storm drain system (existing ditch). Any persons desiring to present their views to the department of Ecology regarding this application may do so in writing within thirty days of the last date of publication of this notice. Comments shall be submitted to the department of Ecology. Any person interested in the department’s action on this application may notify the
department of their interest within thirty days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater PO Box 47696, Olympia, WA 98504-7696 Published in Issaquah/ Sammamish Reporter on July 25, 2014, August 1, 2014. #1097955.

League volunteers and honors their civic commitment. "However, I believe their final ratings might be a reflection of the personal interview they conduct, more than any of the other material and information we provide to them," Goodman said. "Impressions given during a personal interview are often hit-or-miss, so there may be too much of an unreliable, subjective element to the Muni League rating process, but I really do not want to be critical of the hard work they put in." Goodman said he is confident in his accomplishments in the Legislature. In the race for the 45th District Senate seat, both the challenger, Matt Isenhower (D-Redmond), and the incumbent, Andy Hill (R-Redmond) earned ratings of "Very Good." Hill, who did not return a request for comment, increased his rating from "Good" in 2010. "As a first-time candidate, it’s an honor to be judged as someone who is a skilled builder of consensus, understands the issues facing our state and inspires confidence," Isenhower said. "The community leaders who volunteer with the Municipal League of King County go to great lengths to
Friday, July 25, 2014
evaluate candidates’ effectiveness, character and knowledge. It’s not a resume measuring contest or a partisan judgment. Because they really seek to understand whether a candidate is prepared to make an impact, I think their ratings are particularly helpful to voters." In the race for Position 2, the league rated Rep. Larry Springer "Very Good." The league was unable to interview Springer's opponent, Brendan Woodward, and rated him "Adequate." The non-partisan process used 50 volunteers, who devoted more than 1,000 hours to collect the information. To determine candidate ratings, the volunteers reviewed candidate questionnaires, studied the public record, spoke with references and conducted interviews with candidates, according to the Municipal League's website. The questionnaire the candidates fill out includes such information other elected offices held, volunteerism, community work and employment. The ratings are not meant as an endorsement by the league but rather it assesses each candidate’s potential to be effective in office and ability to serve the community, the organization says. Committee members then rate each candidate on four criteria: involvement, character, effectiveness and knowledge.

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
