County cuts, revises bus routes in Issaquah & Sammamish BY BRANDON MACZ REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
The King County Council has approved the first 161,000 hours of Metro transit reductions that cuts five bus routes that serve Issaquah, revises three that serve Issaquah and one that serves both Issaquah and Sammamish. The changes will start Sept. 27. The vote, on Monday, July 21, came a
week after the council failed to pass legislation detailing plans for moving forward with a potential 550,000 total cuts in Metro service hours, over a long-standing revenue shortfall. Issaquah bus routes to be cut include 200, 209, 210, 211EX and 217. Revised routes include 208, 214, 269, and 271. Councilmember Rod Dembowski had called for a delay on July 14 to allow the council's transit committee to review a
revised ordinance that was substantively no different than what had been agreed to the week before. The transit committee passed the legislation to council with unanimous approval July 15. "We should be growing the system," Dembowski said, pointing to growing transit ridership. "It's tragic that we're cutting it." Another 188,000 service hours are to be cut in February, barring an upward trend in

Disabled get to experience thrill of paragliding

Marty Reilly, 53, has been in a wheelchair for 20 years, after a trampoline accident in which he landed on his head. Paralyzed from the neck down, his entire life changed in that moment. One of his sons, Chris, now 19, was in the womb so he has never known a different dad. Never mind his disability, because he's always looking for something to do besides sit at a computer. He works as an estimator for an electrical contractor from his home in Normandy Park. "I've done drifting (an extreme motorsport) with a professional driver, I go fishing in Westport once a year and I've done a tandem glider," Reilly said. His other son, Andy, 22, went flying with Seattle Paragliding in Issaquah earlier in July. Little did Andy know that the following week, Chris Santacroce, one of the best paraglider pilots in the world, would be at Seattle Paragliding the following week, taking "co-pilots" as they call them, for tandem flights. But not just any co-pilots. For years Santacroce was winning major championships in aerobatics and cross-country, inventing new tricks and competing for Red Bull in its Red Bull Air Force. He is also one of the world's foremost paragliding and hang gliding instructors, with his own school in Utah where he lives. Santacroce is also one of the nation's biggest distributors of paragliding gear. But his main passion is Project Air-

time, a nonprofit he formed to "take everyone flying!" "This is my favorite thing," Santacroce said. "It used to be – look at me – now it's more like look at you." He started out by flying tandem with people suffering from multiple sclerosis, which lit the fire. Now, he flies with people who have spinal chord or brain injuries, illness, the elderly or veterans – specifically wounded warriors.
"There's only a few other organizations that do this," Santacroce said. "But we're on the leading edge." He said they're still in the formative stages. He hopes to gain support from foundations that will embrace what he's doing. Santacroce said he took his grandfather up at 68, before he developed ALS. SEE PARAGLIDING, 3

Issaquah man is the face of the Super Charged Seahawks Fan BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Issaquah’s Michael Eng said it takes everyone to be the 12th man. In case you don’t know, that’s a reference to the loud and proud Seahawk’s fans. But Eng might be one of the most visible of the Seahawks super fans.

After the first year, he decided to paint his face and dress up for game day. “Every year since I started going I painted my face and colored my hair,” Eng said. “About three or four years ago I started to grow it out.” He said his hair has always been spiky, and now, for games, he fashions it into Michael Eng of Issaquah appears on his own trading card.

"Everybody is a survivor of something," he said. In fact, Santacroce suffered a spinal cord injury from a paragliding accident. He was in a wheelchair for a while, told he'd never get out of it. Obviously, he did. He uses what he calls a "super chair," developed in France for the disabled co-pilot. Although the co-pilot is seated, the harness is a standard paragliding harness. Finding out about Santacroce was not
the only inspiration for Reilly. He had seen the French film, "The Intouchables," about an aristocrat who has become quadriplegic from a paragliding accident. He hires a young man from the projects to be his caregiver, and he paraglides again. "I'm always doing something different," Reilly said with a smile.

and buyers. "These multiple offer situations are hard on everyone," Papke said. "They are not for the faint of heart." In Herrera's experience, move-away buyers are hesitant to put their homes on the market, worried it will sell quick and leave them looking for interim housing. Competitive bidding for homes in Bellevue has resulted in purchase prices as high as $200,000 over the original asking price. One client, a foreign investor, buys properties for rentals and recently competed in three negotiations totaling 32 competitive offers.

PARAGLIDING
The Eastside housing market has been a seller's dream for more than a year now, but a lack of availability and fierce competition is making it challenging for many looking to strike a deal for a new home. Northwest Multiple Listing Service brokers reported 75,517 sales in King County closed in 2013, valued at $25.5 billion. The median price for a single-family home was up 10.2 percent over 2012 at $270,000. Bob Papke, owner/ broker of RE/MAX in Sammamish, said the tide turned from a buyer's market to a seller's market around February 2013. "Things were down 30 percent from the peak," Papke said. However, he added, "We picked up 15 percent last year and are up another 7 to 10 percent this year." But many first-time and move-away buyers are finding themselves faced with stiff competition for a limited inventory of homes, Realtors say. For Papke, the problem is there are people, himself included, waiting for the market to come back to the level it was in 2007 before selling. That has fueled new construction, which was stagnant from 2007 to 2012. "People who have to move or newly constructed homes is the inventory," Papke said. "The big challenge with new construction is when the market went into decline there were so many home builders caught with that standing inventory,"
said Realtor Teri Herrera, adding builders scrapped development projects and land options at that time. "What's happening now is those builders are scrambling to find land, and everyone's competing for the land that's out there." Builders can barely keep up with the demand now, Papke said, and in both Issaquah and Sammamish big houses are going in on small lots. Also fueling new construction are international buyers, who like a newer product. Papke said 40 percent of them are paying cash, and in multiple offer situations, they win. And it's testing Realtors

OTHER VOICES The benefit of proximity
BY SENS. PATTY MURRAY (D-WASH.) AND JOHNNY ISAKSON (R-GA.)
Something as simple as having offices next door to one another can make all the difference in Congress these days. As colleagues on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, we’ve taken advantage of our proximity to work together and reach a bipartisan, bicameral deal to reauthorize and improve our federal workforce development systems. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which recently passed the Senate, is the product of years of work and months of bicameral discussions. Each year, federal workforce development programs serve roughly 20 million Americans, but in 2014, we’re still training those workers with programs written in the 1990s. So our legislation doubles down on programs that work and improves or eliminates programs that have become outdated. It creates a federal workforce development system that’s more nimble, better aligned with the modern needs of new businesses, and more accountable, so we can continue to make it better in the future. Each of us has heard from hundreds of businesses in our home states, from video game design firms in Washington state to shipping and maritime companies in Georgia, who desperately want to hire workers with high-tech skills and expertise for 21st century jobs. We were proud to work together, break through the gridlock and push this bipartisan, bicameral bill through Congress. We still plan to walk over to each other’s offices, talk about where can find common ground, and work together to build on this bipartisan deal and continue helping workers, businesses, and the economy. Murray is Washington’s senior senator, serving since 1992. She is chairwoman of the Budget Committee, and also sits on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; the Appropriations; the Rules and Administration; and the Veterans Affairs committees.

Looking past the tragedy
Last week, as many of you might know, was the funeral for the young soul of just 18 years that we had lost to a heroin overdose. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of this wonderful young man. Looking past the deep sadness that accompanies such a tragic event what struck me so profoundly, were the bicycles laying scattered in the grassy area in front of Flintofts funeral home. Kids should not be riding their bikes to a friend’s funeral, and yet here we were. Anyone who has met this young man would describe a kind, bright, soft spoken and caring individual. However when most people envision a victim of overdose they succumb to stereotypes generated by the media, riddled with the stigma and myths associated with substance dependence of a bad individual, rather than a sick individual who needs help. It seems that is changing as we are exposed to so many stories about the disease of addiction and tragedies related to its progression. Like so many communities around the country we are experi-
encing the most tragic of outcomes of this healthcare crisis. Substance use disorders impact about 10-15 percent of our population. However, the societal impact related to the lack of prevention and treatment often wreaks havoc on communities and school resources. When our eyes are wide open we can see clearly the progression this reality takes. We watch as adolescent curiosity, and experimentation turns to devastate some, as they can find no way out of the compulsion and obsession to keep using substances. As we grieve, and hold our own children a bit tighter, perhaps we will share in the community responsibility of caring for these vulnerable souls, let them know they matter, and that they are not alone. No more bikes at funerals.

Question of the week:
He has a focused agenda, particularly on education policy. His policy positions have earned him the endorsement of both the Washington Education Association and National Education Association this year. Reducing class sizes and promoting safe campuses are just two of Congressman Reichert’s education focuses. As a Bellevue College student, I appreciate his membership to the Congressional Community College Caucus. Furthermore, Reichert is focused on solving the more sensitive problems in our education system. He has been a strong advocate for foster youth and victims of dating violence. He has earned our continued support.

Two advisory votes to be on ballot
Two advisory votes will appear on the 2014 General Election ballot this fall. Such votes are nonbinding measures that let voters say whether they think the Legislature should ‚ repeal or maintain revenue-generating bills that the Legislature passed. Lawmakers used revenue generated from two bills to help balance the state operating budget this year. The first of this year’s measures is Advisory Vote No. 8. It is the result of Senate Bill 6505, which deals with the elimination of agricultural tax preferences for various aspects of the marijuana industry. The second is Advisory Vote No. 9, which is a result of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1287. That measure imposes the leasehold excise tax on certain leasehold interests in tribal property. This is the third year that advisory votes have been on the ballot. Because advisory votes are nonbinding, the result is not a repeal of the bill and the Legislature is not required to take action based on the results. Voters can access the full text of the two bills resulting in Advisory Votes No. 8 and No. 9 from the Online Voters Guide at http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/. The General Election Voters Pamphlet, which will be mailed to Washington residences in mid-October, also will provide information about the two votes.

“In each case we were the winning offer, but we also were offering cash, no inspection, no finance contingency and 10-day closing,” Herrera said. Many homebuyers worry they won’t be able to compete. “There’s just not a lot of good deals to be had,” said CoCo Fulton with Windermere, who said alternatives include short sales and auctions. “They come at just such a risk.” Appraiser Daren Nelson said this market is not mak-
ing his job any easier, either. With less inventory and less historical data (appraisers should not use data older than six months) and with multiple offers, it’s harder to support the sales price he said. “We don’t always have the data to support that price, so the sale either falls through or they have to renegotiate,” Nelson said. Nelson said he’s heard both sides – where a seller will come down, or a buyer will pay above appraisal. In the case of a cash sale, no appraisal is needed. Nelson said the average price east of Lake Sammamish Parkway was $580,000 in April of 2013

Chop up vegetables like carrots, peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, roasted squash or eggplant, broccoli and snap peas. Next add fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, mint and basil are all great for salads), toasted nuts and seeds and toss with a light salad dressing. Every salad is a new and delicious creation, depending on what you’re inspired by or have in the cupboard. Main course: Wrap it up! Using a whole wheat tortilla, spread with hummus or guacamole, then stuff with grains like quinoa or brown rice, green leafy vegetables, beans and anything else that strikes your fancy.

Right now there are stone fruits like nectarines, apricots, peaches and plums, and berries in abundance. I personally think no dessert is complete without chocolate — and the best healthy alternative to a chocolate bar is to place 1 cup walnuts, 1 cup dates, 3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into a food processor and mix until it starts to clump. Then, roll into balls and store in your freezer until ready to eat. Don’t forget the drinks. A light, sparkling white wine works great at a picnic, and for an alcohol-free drink, place some frozen berries into the bottom of a wine travel glass and fill with sparkling water. The frozen berries act as ice and add a mild flavor.

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
It may have been raining on July 22, but that didn’t stop approximately 150 people from showing up to the East Sammamish Park soccer field to see Eric Hurman and the Thunder Puppies, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Sammamish. “Eric Herman and the Thunder Puppies have a dedicated following, with a family coming as far as Gig Harbor for the performance,” said Lynne Handlos, Sammamish recreation coordinator.

Work finally begins on Pickering Hills subdivision BY LINDA BALL
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Work is finally beginning on Pickering Hills, a new 20-home subdivision on Newport Way Northwest. The project was first approved in 2005, but when the recession hit, the developer lost the property. Over the years it has gone through a series of owners. In April, Summit Homes of Washington purchased the tract, and now dirt is starting to move. So, if it seemed like it sprung up out of nowhere, it’s because the project went dead for so many years. “At the construction phase we usually don’t contact neighbors, but in this case we did because of the lag in time,” said Doug Schlepp, project coordinator for the city. “Permits were previously approved before
the recession, and it does abut existing development.” There had been some complaints about night work, keeping the neighbors up, but Schlepp said the only night work was for the sewer. Now work is back to permitted construction hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. “We had to make the sewer connection at Newport and 12th in the middle of the night so as not to impact traffic,” said Brian White with Summit Homes. The company is new to building in Issaquah. Based in Tukwila, most of its work has been to the south. Schlepp said the project includes finishing the sidewalk between 12th Avenue Northwest and Maple Street Northwest, making the walk to shop at Issaquah Commons much safer. White said building should begin in October or November with two model homes. All of the homes will have large lots, of

high end finishes and amenities. Prices will start in the $900,000 range. Linda Ball: 425-391-0363; lball@issaquahreporter.com

Local teen takes on STP to raise money for India
BY KELLY MONTGOMERY
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Amol Garg, a 14-year-old Sammamish resident, rode his bike more than 200 miles in the hottest Seattle to Portland Classic to date, all to raise money for children’s education in India. “It was inspirational,” Garg’s father said. Garg rode for Team Asha, a sports program organized by Asha for Education, giving people the opportunity to discover the benefits of physical activities while helping raise funds for various projects in India. Team Asha aims to provide every runner, every biker and every climber with the means to change their own lives and make a positive difference in the life of thousands of underprivileged children in India. “Asha is a great organization because 100 percent of its revenue go towards the education in India,” Garg said. “It gives the most that it could possibly give.” Garg said his dad ran a marathon and began telling him about the STP. “I knew it was my thing,” he said. “I had this sudden ‘ah-ha’ moment that I had to do it.” Garg said he specifically supports the Asha organization because of what they do. In order to break world poverty, he said, we
must create a self-sustainable environment where people are able to raise themselves up to earn money. “You don’t want to give a cat fish and keep catching fish for it,” he said. “You want to teach the cat how to get the fish.” What Team Asha is doing, Garg said, is giving money to educational programs in India so that children can get the necessary tools to be successful, breaking the poverty cycle. Through the STP, Team Asha was able to raise $1,160 which will go towards educating a classroom of 25-30 children in India for approximately 30 months. “It will definitely make a difference,” Garg said. And this isn’t the first charitable organization Garg has been involved in. Several years ago, Garg and his friend created their own non-profit organization, Creative Children for Charity, or 3C. Their goal was,

and still is, to inspire one million kids to donate their time and talents towards a social cause. Last year, they hosted a Cupcake and Canvas fundraising event where they raised $1,000 for the Make a Wish Foundation. This year, Garg won the ‘Youth Spirit Award’ at the SAMMI Awards. “I’ve always liked charity,” Garg said. “It makes me feel good inside.” Garg said there were hardly any kids riding on the STP. After falling the first day and battling 99 degree weather, Garg was determined to finish the race. “If there’s a will, there’s a way,” he said. “No matter what age you are. I want to spread that message and inspire people.” With his first STP completed, Garg plans on continuing to train and ride, with the hopes of completing the race in just one day next year. He also wants to run in the Seattle Half Marathon. And Garg, who will only be a freshman at Skyline High School this fall, is already setting his sights high for his collegiate career, explaining how he wants to study either medicine or law. “I’m trying to go Ivy League,” he said. “Either Yale or Harvard.” Until then, Garg plans to continue his charity work, staying active in the city he truly considers the “best in the world.”

Small business feel helps tennis enthusiast get back in the game BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
Stephen Stchur, in his own words, did not know what he was getting himself into. The Microsoft employee and Maryland transplant had played tennis during his high school days, and at a local club. But he kept running in to the same problem when it came to his equipment. “I would break strings really fast,” he said. “I’m breaking strings, and paying $60 per racquet to get them restrung.” Eventually, Stchur found an obvious, if uncertain solution. “I started looking in to stringing machines, not even knowing if I could do it,” he said. “I bought a tabletop stringer and my first racquet took about three hours.” When a friend and hitting partner needed some racquets restrung a short time later, he found Stchur and upon receiving his equipment insisted on paying him for the time he spent working on it. “He was a CPA,” Stchur recalled, adding he had no thought of profiting off his hobby. “I thought maybe I could throw an ad on Craigslist, and see what happens.” The payoff has been slow, but four years later, Stchur and Kick Serve Tennis are turning a modest profit, and giving him a long desired outlet for his athletic passion. “It’s that small business feel,” he said of the company, which recently located with
he and his family to Carnation from Sammamish. Stchur has always operated out of his home, while also holding down a role at Microsoft and as the father of three children. He is on his sixth stringing machine now, a Prince brand piece mechanical artwork, with moving gears and digital metrics for tension that are recorded for customers. He still has his original distributorship account with Gamma (and now sells stringing machines for the company as well), and is also an authorized retailer for a handful of other equipment companies. While the move from the Plateau removes him geographically from one of the sport’s hotbeds in the area, he hopes the attention to detail and trustworthy approach he has always held keeps business humming. One of his most useful ideas — a locking dropbox where customers drop off racquets for collection and restringing, retrieving them when finished — can be transplanted from its former place at his home to a central location on his commute, possibly in Sammamish or Issaquah. “It’s a prime area for people who need that service,” he said of the Plateau. “That (the dropbox) was one of the best things I ever did.” No matter the locale of his clientele, the passion for tennis gear and sometimes difficult history in the game will keep Stchur

During the prime of his playing career in high school, one of Stchur’s friends, and a doubles playing partner, was killed in a car accident. The tragedy shook Stchur’s sensibilities and for a time, removed him from the game. “I took quite a bit of time off,” he said. “I moved out here, had my daughter and needed to do something in my down time.” But as the years have gone on, Stchur has found the customer-focused approach

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.
