THE GREAT DE-FREEZE Becky Henchman wants people to get to know their neighbors
BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Becky Henchman has lived in the Seattle area for more than 20 years and decided that it was finally time to meet her neighbors. "When people first move here, it is so hard to get to know your neighbors," said Henchman, who lives in Hampton Woods in Sammamish. "People in Seattle are friendly, but they're not warm. It's hard to make real relationships." Henchman is referring to the "Seattle Freeze," Becky Henchman a term on both Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary referencing Seattle's attitude of "have a nice day, but have it somewhere else." Urban Dictionary explains that it's easy to get along with people in Seattle, but making friends is almost impossible. Henchman heard about the term, and realized it was in fact a pretty true statement. "I decided to declare war on the Seattle Freeze," she said. Henchman began a "de-freeze" campaign in April. She started a blog called “Eat Play Thaw,” vowing to have one neighbor over for dinner once a month for 12 months. "Sometimes we make these pre-judgements on people, instead of just inviting them for coffee," she said. "I'm just trying to be very intentional and to do it for myself, and then also encourage others to open up our own circles of friendship and accept some of those invitations as well." Henchman said that all friendships in

life start somewhere, whether it's through a common interest or chance meeting. Seattle is a place that is becoming more and more diverse, Henchman said, and just because people are working too much doesn't mean they don't need that connection. "It means we need it even more," she said. "People want to connect." So far, Henchman has had four neighbors over for dinner, a Fourth of July barbecue and a group of Sammamish women over for lunch. "In other areas of the United States, having a neighbor over is no big deal," she said. "But I'm doing a blog about it because it's so odd for Seattle, and nobody really knows why that is." Henchman said that life is what we make it, and her goal is to commit to the "De-freeze" campaign for a year and maybe longer in the hopes of changing that Seattle reputation.
"We already live in one of the most beautiful areas of the country," Henchman said. "What if we became the friendliest area as well? What would that do to our community?" Henchman, who has a background in marketing and communications, said she loves to write and find stories, but wanted her blog to have a sense of integrity. Her entries include her thoughts and reflections as she journeys through her "De-freeze" campaign, ideas for people trying to get involved and meet people in their communities, recipes and more. Henchman said she hopes that more people will check out her blog simply for ideas and encouragement. "The greatest gifts in my life have been people," she said. "I'm a firm believer that you can't have too many connections." Kelly Montgomery: 425-391-0363; kmontgomery@issaquahreporter.com

Sammamish to resurface Trossachs Blvd. The city of Sammamish is about to begin a maintenance project to resurface much of Trossachs Boulevard. The project involves removing the weathered and worn top layer of old pavement and replacing it with a new layer of hot mix asphalt. The work is being done by Lakeside Industries as part of the annual citywide pavement resurfacing project. Two sections of Trossachs Boulevard are being resurfaced: • The south portion from Duthie Hill Road to just north of Cascade Ridge Elementary. • The north portion from Belvedere Way to the north end. The portion in between these sections was resurfaced recently and will not be replaced as part of the project. Work is scheduled to begin Monday, Aug. 11, and to be completed by Aug. 29. Hours of work will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the first week the top layer of pavement will be ground off. The grinding and preparation work is expected to take three to four days. In the second week the new surface layer of pavement will be placed. This paving work is expected to take two to three days. Pavement striping will follow in the days soon after the pavement resurfacing. During this project, the road will remain open and emergency vehicles will have access at all times. However, travel lanes will be reduced to one lane with flaggers controlling the direction of traffic during working hours. During the paving process, there will be short-duration intersection closures when the new asphalt is placed and compacted through the intersection. Much of the construction will be avoidable by using side streets to get to and from the south end of Trossachs Boulevard.

LWSD board unanimously passes 2014-15 budget BY SAMANTHA PAK REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
The Lake Washington School District board unanimously passed its 2014-15 budget Monday night, which includes a a 6.7 percent increase in revenues, rising from $256.3 million to $273.4 million in its general fund. District Director of Communications Kathryn Reith said the $17.1 million increase comes from various things, including $5.3 million from an increase in enrollment, as school districts receive funding based on the number of students in the district. In addition, $2.5 million comes from increased levy
receipts and $7.8 million comes from new state funding. The latter has been the result of the McCleary state Supreme Court decision, which requires the state to more fully fund basic education. "Some of (the court decision) is starting to take effect," Reith said. The court decision ruled the state was not meeting its obligation to fully fund K-12 public education as required by the state constitution. While the budget has increased, the district's expenditures also increased – by 5.1 percent. According to a district press release, a significant rise in spending came in staffing to

The event will include an evening at Boehm’s candies with a raffle/silent auction of numerous items including: Sounders box tickets and signed Game Day Guide, UW Football Game Day tickets with sideline passes, Seahawks signed football by Russell Wilson, glass platter by Art By Fire, Microsoft Windows adult experience, necklace by Something Silver,

Tickets are $25 and include a selection of wine and Mac and Jack beer. Children under 12 are free. Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at www.borgenproject. org/boehmscandiesevent/.

support increased enrollment. That need will require an expenditure of $3.8 million. Other costs are increases in staff compensation, health care and pension costs, another $3.8 million and $2 million for specific programs from grants and self-supporting programs. Reith said some of the areas the increased revenue will help include more staff for professional learning for teachers, four literacy coaches at the elementary level, five more school nurses and additional grounds and custodial staff and equipment. The additional funding has also allowed the district to hire two mental health/social workers, Reith said. "For the first time in many years, we have been able to restore some of the things we cut many years ago and (have been) able to put back into place some much needed resources," said School Board President Jackie Pendergrass. In addition to being able to hire more staff, Reith said the district has also been able to reduce its athletic fees. "That's been a financial burden on some of our families," Reith said. Previously, the district’s athletic fee for high schoolers was $275 per sport. Now, the fee will be $200 per sport and no individual student will pay more than $400, no matter how many sports they play. (The old cap per student was $550). No family will pay more than $725 in athletic participation fees to the same school, down from the previous
cap of $1,000. At the middle school level, the cost per sport in middle school will be $75, a reduction of $40. The maximum for an individual student will be $150, down from $210. The cap for fees for a family to the same school will be $225 at middle school, as opposed to $315 last year. The district increased its fees significantly in 2009 when it was hit with major budget cuts. Reith said based on community input, families were willing to pay the higher fees in order to keep funding in the classrooms and not layoff teachers. "Our budget additions have been designed to help the district work toward its strategic goals," said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. "We carefully considered how to put these funds to their best possible use." The district went through a multi-phase process this spring to collect potential budget additions and review them. Reith said they surveyed parents on where they want money to go and developed the budget accordingly. The board first received a draft of the budget at its June 23 meeting. Reith said there were no comments from the public at Monday's meeting and the budget passed with no changes. Samantha Pak: 425-867-0353, ext. 5052; spak@ redmond-reporter.com

t’s disappointing, but not really surprising, that statewide only 24 percent of people eligible to vote actually did so on Tuesday. And don’t get too smug yet. The percent was actually a bit less in King County. There weren’t any hot legislative races in the districts where Issaquah and Sammamish residents live. Many races had only two candidates meaning both move on to the general election. In the 5th District race for Position 2, four candidates sought to make the two two. At the end, incumbent Chad Magendanz once again will face challenger David Spring. The Reporter will ramp up its election coverage as we get closer to November.

Change coming for state health insurance exchange
I
t has been nearly three years since Washington began to build its state-based insurance exchange and profoundly expanded Medicaid. It has not been an easily defined road nor a smooth one. Nothing like this had ever been done before, which led to a number of challenges in budgeting, forecasting and other elements prior to the exchange’s launch on Oct. 1, 2013. Now the exchange, known as the Washington Healthplanfinder (WHPF), has completed the open-enrollment period. The WHPF Phil Dyer primarily offered only individual and family coverage, leaving small-business coverage until the next open enrollment later this year. We’ve learned a great deal and are already making changes for next year. First, new Medicaid enrollment met expectations. In 2011, the projection was that Washington would see nearly 1.5 million people, new and current, enrolled

on expanded Medicaid. However, during the actual open-enrollment period, the state saw more new enrollees than expected, but fewer re-enrolled. Looking now to the upcoming open enrollment period, we on the WHPF board are still in the planning process. There are several major areas of planning including Medicaid, the renewal process and expanding the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) statewide. As in any startup organization, we focused on the core responsibilities of the exchange. Now the exchange is looking to reduce operating costs while improving various aspects of the consumer experience for Medicaid and private insurance enrollees. In the case of Medicaid, we are looking to change the current approach where enrollees must simply accept the plan assigned to them. Starting in April of 2015, we hope Medicaid enrollees will be able to shop for the plan that best suits them. In addition, I am concerned with more than 75 percent of our enrollment work being Medicaid. The exchange’s funding SEE INSURANCE, 5

Sammamish, Issaquah have lots in common
It was very refreshing to read the article: Other Voices, The benefit of proximity on the Aug. 1 Opinion page of the Issaquah/ Sammamish Reporter co-written by two U.S. senators. Not too long ago, in the July 18 edition, there was a very upbeat coverage of the joint meeting between the city councils of Sammamish and Issaquah, which reported on the two councils focusing on a renewed relationship and what the two cities have in common. This commonalty is certainly made observable by the two very intricate park systems of both cities. A current goal of many places is to have a series of interSEE LETTERS, 5

connecting parks and trails referred to as an Emerald Necklace. As our two towns certainly are distinctive gems, they might be referred to as two neighboring pearls in a necklace of communities encircling the Puget Sound. However, parks are certainly not the only embellishment that Sammamish and Issaquah have in common. They host summer concerts, outdoor Shakespeare productions, have active Farmers Markets, share a school system and remarkably even a newspaper. It is not a contest of which is the best, but more importantly how these two municipalities can support and enhance each other. This could be an example of where great fences make great neighbors.

sponsored bill to the floor for a vote that expands the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area and puts protections on the Middle Fork-Snoqualmie River. What was once a place a place where trash was dumped and was largely inaccessible to the public is well on its way to becoming a place that our families can treasure for generations to come thanks to our community pulling together around improving this area. Congressman Reichert recognizes the importance of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area to his constituents and demonstrated his willingness to reach across party lines to deliver results back home.

Don’t blame Issaquah for issue with signal coordination on SR 900
Regarding a recent letter from Greer Allen, apparently he has not taken the time to actually contact the city of Issaquah staff regarding his issue with signal coordination on SR 900. Had he done so he would have found out that WSDOT controls these signals not the city. As the retired city Public Works Director, I can say that city staff has always worked with WSDOT on this issue, but the ultimate control is with them not the city. My suggestion is that people do their homework before "casting stones" so to speak. But, in the end even the best signal coordination cannot fix too much traffic on the roads.

posed apathy of millenials to politics. A couple weeks ago I was making a late run to the Triplehorn Brewery in Woodinville and was surprised to see the place packed at last call. It turned out to be a campaign kickoff for Brendan Woodward, a 30-ish local boy turned Marine officer who is running for Legislature for the 45th District covering most of Sammamish. Turns out that despite his youth he has a broad range of life experience rivaling my Boomer generation that's now in office (and with this ongoing recession we Boomers can’t claim super competency). That combination seems to be why he drew a packed house of around 100 people to the Triplehorn when most campaigns draw only 40-50 grayhairs to their kickoffs. It gives me hope to know there are young candidates who bring both maturity and youth to our representation, and are re-creating buzz and participation among the next generation that’s supposedly turned off by politics. I’m happy to trust my vote to Brendan Woodward.

should be supported more from the Medicaid budget considerations by the Legislature, as opposed to requiring the private marketplace to pay the major part of sustainability of the exchange. In preparing for the first renewal period for those who purchased plans on the exchange, we need to improve the way subsidies are calculated using income and family information. Additionally, we need to improve the information available to those searching for a plan that best fits their health needs. Currently, it can be difficult to find out if a plan covers your medicines, your doctor and other details of the plan. As a result, some found costs were higher and access was lower than they expected. Improving the transparency of the plans on the exchange is one issue we will be discussing to ensure that Washington residents choose the plan that suits them. Additionally, we are working to create a viable Small Business Health Options Program, with available issuers and plans. This program provides subsidies in the form of tax credits for eligible small businesses and those that are being required to provide health care for their employees. The next open enrollment period is going to be fast upon us, and the exchange board is moving rapidly to address the demands and challenges placed on it. Given the relative success of the Washington Healthplanfinder in the first year, I am optimistic that it will succeed in this first renewal year, providing more health care choices for Washington residents.

2X STRONGER THAN VINYL
Choosing the proper window material is everything. Even in moderate temperature swings, poor-quality vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks. Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years? We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a patented wood composite that has the rich, elegant look and feel of finely crafted wood windows without the maintenance. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl?

Pine Lake garden tour to benefit horticulture students BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Marcus Phelps-Munson, Pine Lake Garden Club president, said he is very excited to show people the beauty of gardening during the club's annual tour, which will take place tomorrow, Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include seven local gardens. His garden, he said is like a vacation spot in his own backyard. Growing up in South Florida, he was forced to pull Periwinkle weeds out of the yard at his childhood home. It was a task he dreaded. It wasn't until later in life that he found a love for plants. Now, PhelpsMunson has been tending to his Duthie Hill garden for more than 14 years. "We really just want to share our joy in our own gardening experience," he said. After a couple years fixing up his backyard, Phelps-Munson decided to add a little something extra to the scenery. He purchased a toy dinosaur he saw at a local store and placed him among the plants. Soon enough, he had a collection. From the Tyrannosaurus rex he grabbed at the toy store to the Brachiosauras he picked up in London, the dinosaurs have become a fun addition to Phelps-Munson's gardening habits. In addition to the prehistoric creatures milling about, garden tour attendees can expect to see, feel and smell a unique variety of plants. The Berlandiera lyrata, for instance, also known as the "chocolate daisy," smells exactly like a batch of freshly baked brownies. Others resemble the smell
of peanut butter, wine gone bad and pineapple. Phelps-Munson said the "chocolate daisy" smells strongest in the morning, but becomes less noticeable as the day goes on. "It's not a good plant if you're on the diet," he said. When asked which of the seasons is his favorite, Phelps-Munson demurred. "That's like asking which one of your kids is your favorite," he said. Phelps-Munson finds every season full of interest and every year comes with a slightly different challenge. But that's what keeps it interesting. "My goal for the tour is simply to promote gardening and awareness," PhelpsMunson said. "Gardening is what you make of it, but it can be really fun." Tickets for the tour are $15 each and will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at John L Scott Realty, 718 228th Ave. N.E. in Sammamish. Maps and directions to the gardens on tour will be provided upon purchase of ticket. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Lake Washington Institute of Technology School of Environmental Horticulture. Barbara Flynn, event chairman for the tour, said that many of the students they help are 30- to 40-years-old and are seeking new careers, often because of lay-offs. "Extra funds to help these students is really appreciated," she said. For more information visit www. pinelakegardenclub.org. Kelly Montgomery: 425-391-0363; kmontgomery@issaquahreporter.com

Issaquah tourism plan taking shape
Business Roundup
Economic Development Initiative seen as bringing new customers,job growth
Sammamish resident completes program
A tourism/community promotion expert engaged by a partnership of the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and the city of Issaquah has proposed 11 recommendations for Issaquah tourism development. The recommendations reflect strategies to help kick-start Issaquah’s tourism promotion work, according to Matthew Bott, CEO of the chamber. Roger Brooks, author of the popular book, "Your Town: A Destination," was hired by a partnership of the chamber and the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LATC) to develop a business plan for Issaquah tourism. Local leaders are expected to take these recommendations and work them into a multi-year, phased plan in coordination with other local economic development initiatives. “The work of tourism development is important to Issaquah’s long term economic vitality as it is the “front door” to the community’s other business recruitment initiatives,” Bott said. “It is also the purest form of economic development…people come to town, spend money, then return home – and this spending benefits local businesses, key nonprofit organizations like the Cougar Mountain Zoo, arts organizations, and more, plus helps produce crucial tax revenue for our city.” The 11 recommendations include: ■ The city should host a tourism summit with City Council and staff to answer
Roger Brooks outlines 11 recommendations to boost tourism in Issaquah. WILLIAM SHAW, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter.
further specific questions about lodging tax policy/regulations, return on investment, and other items relating to the establishment of a well-executed, communitywide tourism initiative. ■ Create a Branding, Development and Marketing Action Plan (this will help provide direction to tourism development, future marketing/advertising efforts and, consequently, support business recruitment initiatives.) The step is considered critical to help Issaquah identify its unique brand and then position itself accordingly in the regional marketplace. ■ Create a Visit Issaquah organization. As a Destination Marketing Organization, or DMO, the organization will be led by a

board consisting of LTAC members and others, who will provide ongoing strategic guidance to the tourism development plan). ■ Develop a way-finding system to help improve navigation around the city and showcase Issaquah’s treasures. On average, way-finding systems are shown to increase retail sales by approximately 18 percent, the tourism report said). ■ Hire a contracted, local tourism director to implement these beginning recommendations. ■ Recruit new events into Issaquah. An example of this is the NW Paddle Festival. ■ Expend lodging tax dollars as economic development funds not grants. The dollars would be focused around tourism development, branding development, event recruitment and other proactive initiatives. ■ Establish how the funds should be spent with an eye on return on investment. Doing so would begin to tilt from product development/branding to digital and print promotion once the branding effort is complete. Focus about half on digital marketing, with the exception of key print projects. ■ Create “The Very Best of Issaquah” brochure with strategic distribution (this will help provide new visibility/new customers for existing “anchor tenants” who will spin off retail sales for others. ■ Relocate or duplicate Visitor Information Center services. The center should be located within a shopping district and/or look into opportunities for mobile centers. ■ Once the Branding, Product Development and Marketing plan is developed, begin implementation.

Local survivors ride for a worthy cause
For the Love of the Game
The final frame
A
BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
Darren Rozendaal is always thankful when he gets on his bicycle and goes for a ride. Whether he is training for endurance events, or simply soaking in the glow of a summer day around Puget Sound, Rozendaal never takes the rides for granted. But when he hops on his bike this weekend, and sets out on the 50-mile course as part of Obliteride, it will mean a little more. “That’s a hard thing to say, what one thing means the most,” he said. “This is a way to thank the people that work at any step in the process.” Rozendaal is all too familiar with the process of cancer treatment, after being diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma 11 years ago. After nine months of chemotherapy, he still wasn’t entirely cancer-free. Luckily for he and his wife, a stem cell transplant at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance left him healthy, if worn down from nearly a year of intense treatments. “One of the biggest things was seeing how much help and support you can get,” he said. “When you see how good people can be at their jobs and just at being people, that is pretty powerful.” Rozendaal was able to get back to work not long after leaving inpatient treatment, and started playing soccer and regaining his active lifestyle in short order. Four years ago, he decided to take on a marathon and when he and three friends — one a fellow cancer survivor — saw news about Obliteride last year, it was “a no-brainer,” for them to participate. Paul Weigel, an Issaquah resident and father, had a similar feeling about taking part when he first heard about the ride. He saw the giant banners hanging from SCCA when he would drive to treatment, and promised himself that he

would see things come full circle when he took part after completing his treatment. “I couldn’t be more than two minutes from a bathroom,” he recalled. “I knew I wanted to be part of it.” Weigel is set to take on the 100-mile course, and said it is especially meaningful as a survivor to have the chance to honor those who assist in the cancer treatment process. He recently finished an Ironman in Whistler, British Columbia, and completed a half-marathon while still undergoing treatment — chemotherapy pack and all. “I was going to fight it,” he said. That fighting spirit is the binding tie for Obliteride participants, sponsors, volunteers and fundraisers, all of whom man a station in the ongoing battle against cancer. “This is a phenomenal way to wrap up this year,” Weigel said. “There are so many people who are doing this so other people can make it.” The girls 96 Red team won the U18 Gold Division championship, earning a draw in their first match before winning 6-0, 1-0 and 1-0 in their next three matches. A 3-0 win over Boston Breakers Academy Scorpions in the title game gave coach Chance Fry’s squad the title. The boys 98 Red team also brought home a championship, finishing with a 2-0-1 record in pool play before winning 1-0 and 3-1 to take the title.

Learn things. Things people will pay you for.
t some point, every contest must come to an end. Today is my final day at the Reporter, after more than three years spent doing the job I had wanted since seeing my own face and name in print as a prep a decade ago. It did not, even for one moment, disappoint. More than the scores, or even the highlights, it is the faces I will remember most. The excitement of a new crop of Bellevue seniors, elation spilling off their sweat-covered mugs, after winning the state football championship. A forlorn Newport player, downtrodden after a heartbreaking playoff loss that ended his gridiron career, smiling Josh Suman and signing an autograph for a young fan as he walked to the locker room. Streams of runners dashing through the mud and mist around Lake Sammamish State Park, chasing that personal best time and a spot in the state cross country meet as they tried for a district title. Genuine happiness — for someone else — after a sudden-death playoff on the golf course. The names change, but the reason we cheer never will. The passion high school and local sports are built upon gives them a unique place in the community. My own journey will not take me far, as I will remain in Bellevue with the nonprofit Jubilee REACH, serving as a site coach for the after school programming, and the media coordinator for the organization. You may still even see my name in this paper, time and again. We won’t be taking in the game together. But maybe we will catch up for a rematch down the road. Course packet pickup begins at 6:30 a.m. on race day, at the Sky Country Trailhead off 166th Way SE. Fees are $45 for the 14 mile race, $70 for the 26 mile race and $25 for the 5K, with part of the fee benefitting King County Parks & Recreation. For more information, visit seattlerunningclub.org.

Sammamish Rotary Club celebrates year, plans for next
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Rotary Club of Sammamish is transitioning into a new year, and with new leadership. Cary Young has been named the new Rotary president and will be replacing Bill Bastine, who, Young said, led the club to a very successful year. From 2013-2014, Rotary members and volunteers served more than 15,000 hours and funded over $50,000 in humanitarian projects. Money raised by the Rotary Club went to organizations such as Athletes for Kids, Congregations for the Homeless, Eastside Food and Clothing Bank, Friends of Youth, Issaquah School District, Lifewire, Life Enrichment Options, Medical Teams International, Rotary First Harvest, SAMMI, Sammamish YMCA, Sofia Way and more. “There’s a very purposeful process the community service committee goes through to decide who will receive a grant from us,” Young said. The Rotary also recognized students of the month, handed out college scholarships to students at the local high schools, student volunteers and Hugh O’Brien Youth Camp, and funded an international service project for the fourth year, aiding and establishing a sustainable, self-governing rural village in Nicaragua through the Agros International. “We find people, we find funding, and we use that leverage to make a difference,” said Kurt Hamke, Public Relations Committee Chair. “We’re behind the scenes making those things happen.” Rotary Challenge Race On Saturday, Aug. 9, the Rotary Club of Sammamish will be hosted its an-
nual Challenge Series Race, providing approximately 24 physically and/or mentally challenged children with a chance to race soapbox-derby-style cars down Southeast 224th Street. “This event is really about the kids,” Young said. Every special needs child is paired with an able-bodied child, giving them the opportunity to learn, connect and work together. Community sponsors help finance the event and the extra funds are donated to Life Enrichment Options, a local nonprofit that assists people with developmental disabilities. The mayor, high school cheerleaders, and other community representatives will be in attendance. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Discovery Elementary School and ends with a picnic and trophy presentation. Nightmare at Beaver Lake One of the Rotary’s biggest and most well-known events is Nightmare at Beaver Lake, an outdoor Halloween haunted house experience. Last year, more than 13,000 people attended the event and the most since the event began 11 years ago. Hamke said that the Rotary begins work on next year’s Nightmare only two days after the event is over. All summer the Rotary hosts a booth at Summer Concerts in the

Park, offering barbecue food and face-painting to promote their October event. “Eleven years ago, when we started this event, we really wanted it to be a positive addition to what was at the time a new city,” Hamke said. Currently, the 2014 Nightmare at Beaver Lake is deep into the construction phase, Young said. One thing the Rotary is particularly excited about is “Goliath the Gargoyle,” a huge animatronic prop that was used every year before “dying” from exposure five years ago. “He’s been resurrected,” Young said. Apparently, a prominent Hollywood special effects director brought the gargoyle “back to life” for free. Young said they are very excited to bring him back this year. “When you talk to people at the event, they come from all over the place,” she said. “This is one of the things they do every year.” The 2014 Nightmare at Beaver Lake will open Oct. 17 and run through Halloween. To get involved or volunteer for the event, email volunteer@sammamishrotary.org. For more information about the event, contact Rotary president Cary Young at 206-310-1597.

Another bank robbery in Issaquah
Police reports from Issaquah
July 28 No reservation: A staff member from Motel 6 in the 1800 block of 15th Place Northwest, called to report two or more unregistered guests staying in a room. Issaquah police contacted the unregistered guests and advised them that management wanted the room vacated. They packed up and departed. Suspicious: A suspicious vehicle was located in the 400 Block of Mt. Hood Drive Southwest. The caller said that it appeared the occupants were doing drugs, leaving the paraphernalia in the bushes. Shortly after reporting the incident the vehicle left the area. Police were unable to locate the vehicle or the paraphernalia. Vehicle Prowl: A $1,550 total loss was reported from a damaged window and stolen tools, Xbox and Xbox games from a silver 1998 Acura RL in the 1500 block of Northwest Mall Street.
July 29 Not well: An officer responded to a call from the 1800 block of 25th Avenue Northeast to check on a man vomiting in the parking lot. The man was taken to Swedish because he was intoxicated and a danger to himself.
Issaquah police and the FBI are investigating a robbery that occurred at the Chase Bank branch in the 1200 block of Northwest Gilman Boulevard just before 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 4. A bank employee was approached by a man who demanded money and implied that he had a gun. The suspect then fled westbound from the bank with an undetermined amount of money. Police searched the area, but did not locate him. The suspect is a white man in his late 20s or 30s. He was dressed in a white baseball-type T-shirt with black sleeves, a baseball cap, sunglasses and black fingerless gloves. Issaquah Police Det. Brian Horn said this does not appear to be the work of the “Summertime Heat Robber,” who is most likely responsible for three previous bank robberies in Issaquah this year. Anybody with information that can help identify the suspect can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or FBI Special Agent William Mellot at 206-262-2063 or Horn at 425-837-3200.. Callers to Crime Stoppers may remain anonymous, and are eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if the information given leads to an arrest and charge of the person involved.
July 30 Pants down: A caller reported a man in his underwear “squatting” behind a dumpster, behind a restaurant in the far corner of the parking lot in the 1500 block of Northwest Gilman Boulevard. Stolen car: A car which had been stolen out of Pacific, was recovered in Issaquah in the 6100 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast. The owner of the car found several items that did not belong to him, including a registration for another vehicle, which is registered in Issaquah.
Fraud: A woman in the 1900 block of 25th Avenue Northeast, reported that the state unemployment office needed for her to get a case number through IPD for possible identity theft so that they could investigate a possible fraud involving her Social Security number on their end. Scary: A caller reported seeing a light skinned black male wearing black T-shirt and camouflage pants carrying a gun and walking around the parking area in the 200 block of Southwest Clark Street. An officer spoke to another resident who was outside and didn’t see anything.
The suspect in Monday’s bank robbery is shown here. COURTESY PHOTO.

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
