Reindeer return to Zoo Santa’s noble steeds arrive for 26th Issaquah Reindeer Festival

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMMAMISH REPORTER

He’s making a list, checking it twice — and he’ll also be taking note of whether you’re nice to his famous herd of flying reindeer. For the 26th year in a row, Santa Claus and his elves will set up shop at the Cougar Mountain Zoo for the Issaquah Reindeer Festival, welcoming children of all ages to share their Christmas wishes and engage in holiday cheer beginning Dec. 1. Rumor has it the Zoo is the secret home of Claus’s stable of reindeer. Zoo staff care for the mountainous deer year-round, allowing Claus to focus on the manufacture of toys at North Pole headquarters. Zoo spokesperson Cari McKinstry suggested, but would not confirm, that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer lives under the secret identity of “Wishes the Reindeer” during the off-season. Claus’s reindeer originally hail from

the frozen of tundras of Siberia, the vast eastern region of Russia. (Fun fact: in some Russian and Slavic cultures, Claus is known as Father Frost and delivers presents with the help of his granddaughter Snow Maiden). Visitors will be able to watch the reindeer at home as they prepare for their Dec. 24 flight, meet Claus and sit in his Grand Traveling Sleigh. “The whole habitat is transformed into a wonderland,” McKinstry said. “Even the adults turn into kids when they see it.” For the zoo, the Issaquah Reindeer Festival is an important fundraiser. All proceeds support the reindeer herd and the zoo’s educational programs. The festival is open 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Dec. 1 to Dec. 23. Santa is available until 4 p.m. each day.

During a ribbon cutting for the interim gravel trail along East Lake Sammamish in 2006, King County Commissioner Ron Sims told the Seattle Times that the trail is “a treasure … Years from now, no one will remember the fight.” Eight years down the road, Sims’ words are still ringing hollow. An ongoing issue for over a decade, construction continues on planned paving and upgrade plans for the East Lake Sammamish Trail as lakeside homeowners continue to protest the trail’s widening and alteration of the landscape. As of Nov. 24, crews were installing chain link fencing throughout the northern segment of the trail, north of Inglewood Hill Road, completing work on walls and applying anti-graffiti coating before they start excavating driveways and intersections next week, according to information provided by the King County Office of Parks and Recreation. Opened in 2006 as an interim gravel trail, the trail’s master plan always called for the trail to be paved and widened to 12 feet. The trail follows a former Burlington Northern rail line. The right of way for the railroad was sold to the Cascade Land Conservancy, then to King County. The right of way issue is one of many points of contention between homeowners and King County. Lakeside land owners also protest the county’s removal of trees, particularly on the northern segment under construction, and restriction of access to homes for both residents and emergency crews. “On that first segment the county, despite all of their promises to save trees and to not cut down significant trees, cut every tree down in the construction, clearing and grading areas,” Sammamish city councilman Ramiro Valderrama said. “That includes all 160 state-defined significant trees.” According to Tom Hornish with the Sammamish Homeowner’s Organization, many residents on the north segment now have difficulty getting in and out of their garages, a concern the organization has with the southern and central segments now in planning and design.

Issaquah school board approves 2019 credit requirements BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

On Nov. 12, the Issaquah School Board narrowly approved greater credit requirements for Liberty High School’s class of 2019. The

new 31-credit requirement, which will begin with next year’s incoming freshman class to the East Renton Highlands campus, enhanced the demand on arts performance for students and added a world language (or personal pathways) credit

requirement, but slightly relaxed required electives. Earlier this year, the Washington State Legislature passed a bill directing the State Board of Education to adopt rules implementing the Career-and-College-

Ready Graduation Requirements the board had originally unveiled in November 2010. The requirements included a “Core 24” credits needed by 2019 graduates in order SEE CREDITS, 4

Sammamish murder suspects still waiting for extradition hearing BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

We think

the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.

Two men charged with the first murder in Sammamish’s incorporated city history remain in Canadian custody while they wait for a court date for their extradition hearing. On Sept. 19 Kevin David Patterson, 20, and Christopher John Shade, 18, were charged with first degree murder for the Sept. 10 slaying of DAVID Richard Bergesen, 57, of PATTERSON Sammamish. According to charging documents supplied by the King County Prosecutor's Office Patterson, who was living with Bergesen as part of a homeless assistance program run by Bergesen's church, claimed that Bergesen made sexual advances on him. Bergesen was beaten to death with a shovel in his home according to the charging documents, with Patterson and Shade saying the other was responsible for

Bergesen's killing. Both were arrested the following night in Abbotsford, British Columbia, after stealing Bergesen's car and fleeing across the border near Spokane and buying multiple items in Canada using Bergesen's credit card. King County prosecutors have requested both Patterson, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen, and Shade, a U.S. citizen from Texas, be held on $2 million bond pending extradition. According to a statement by a representative of the Canadian Ministry of Justice, both men remain in custody with no court date set to determine their extradition. While the Canadian courts have denied extradition to the U.S. in the past if they felt the accused would have their basic civil rights violated by facing the death penalty, the charges both men face carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Both men were also charged with first degree robbery and theft of a motor vehicle. Bryan Trude: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; btrude@issaquahreporter.com

“The people I’ve talked with, everybody is a very strong proponent of the trail and they use the trail,” Hornish said. “I think the concerns that everybody has is what, if any, impact the buildout has on private homeowners along the trail. It becomes onerous so that the balance gets out of whack, balancing the public interest and the private interest.” As the county begins to wrap up work on the northern segment, design continues on the southern segment between Southeast 33rd Street and Southeast 43rd Way. On Oct. 22, King County published its tree retention plan for the 1.2 mile stretch, pledging to retain 124 of 194 aboristdesignated significant trees. Of the 70 to be removed, 57 lie within the clearing and grubbing limits for trail construction, including one defined as a heritage tree by Sammamish municipal code. The remaining 13 were designated by King County’s arborist as being too hazardous to leave in place during construction or afterwards, due to their condition or defects, including six heritage trees. Another 51 trees along the route have been marked to be monitored during construction. As their condition and location does not warrant outright removal, they are still at risk to be affected by construction efforts.

BRYAN TRUDE, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Once completed, the East Lake Sammamish Trail running through Sammamish will resemble this section in Issaquah, just south of the Sammamish/Issaquah border. One positive development for homeowners has been an increased response and advocacy from Sammamish city officials, according to Hornish, a sentiment shared by Valderrama. “I do see the city submit its comments,” Valderrama said. “While they can’t make [the county] move in one direction or the other, the city is now asking them for changes on alignment and to save trees.” When asked for comment, Sammamish Communications Manager Tim Larson said that the city does what it can. “The city has been pro-active in its efforts to improve communication between King County and local residents,” Larson said. “There are limits to what we can do, but when we see

an opportunity to ease tensions or find a solution, we try to help.” Despite years of lawsuits and bickering between both sides, Hornish said that many residents do want to see a trail. “Many of us who live along the lake, we all want the trail,” Hornish said. “We just want it done responsibly, respectfully, and quickly.” King County officials publish weekly updates to construction and planning progress on all three sections of the trail.

Julius Boehm closes for renovations, will reopen mid-2015 BY DANIEL NASH

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

If you were hoping to log some wintertime swimming this season (and who wasn’t?) you may want to take your floaties elsewhere until mid-2015. Julius Boehm Pool closed Wednesday to begin extensive renovations that will make the facility more accommodating for persons with disabilities and add other improved amenities. The renovations are being funded by half of the $10 million park bond approved by voters one year ago, in the 2013 general

election. Changes will include a new plastic pool liner, a more open service reception area, new locker rooms, new benches, energy efficient LED lights and measures to make sure the facility is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “As well as other items to enhance the ‘wow’ factor of the pool,” Issaquah city Parks Manager Ric Patterson said. Patterson said he thinks pool regulars will like what they see when the pool is unveiled later next year. “I hope they’re excited,” he said. “The

staff here have been excited about what they’ve seen so far in the designs.” But for those disappointed they won’t be able to use their home pool for several months, Patterson recommended several other swimming holes in the region, including the Bellevue Aquatics Center, the Bellevue YMCA, the Coal Creek YMCA, Juanita Aquatics, Lindberg High School, Sammamish High School and the Hartman Pool in Redmond.

Strategies for Black Friday Your survival guide for the day of deals

Make use of technology

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

War is coming. It is a war fought in the aisles and cash register lines by shoppers jostling and clawing at each other in a bid to get the best deal for them and their loved ones. It’s time for Black Friday. This annual ritual that companies great and small hope will push their annual operating budgets into the black — hence the name — the Friday after Thanksgiving has always traditionally been a day of deals and promotions that draws shoppers in to a virtual contest of strength, speed and commercial wisdom. As Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu wrote in “The Art of War,” “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” Only the most prepared of shoppers will emerge victorious on Black Friday. Be well prepared with these tips compiled by the Reporter.

Apps available for both iOS and Android platforms will aggregate the best Black Friday deals into one simple location right on your phone. Many apps also will show deals and promotions for stores near your location. Popular apps include “TGI Black Friday” by eCatcher Inc., “Black Friday” by FatWallet, and Slickdeal’s “Black Friday 2014 App.”

Secure an easy victory from afar Almost as influential in recent years as Black Friday, Cyber Monday has emerged as the day to find the best deals from online retailers. Along with Cyber Monday, many traditional stores also have their Black Friday specials available on their websites, if only for a short time.

Plan your shopping by type According to Forbes Magazine, Black Friday tends to feature the best deals for electronics, movies, video games and other gadgets. Since the best deals for clothing and fashion

may be long past until January, try to avoid buying items that are not at least 40 percent off retail price.

Plan before you take the field Before stepping out that door, write down who you are shopping for and what you are buying for them. This will help prevent impulse buying and aimless browsing through potentially huge Black Friday crowds.

An army marches on its stomach If you plan to be out deal-hunting for a long time, make plans for food and drink in your overall strategy. Staying fed, especially by avoiding fast food, will keep you energized and keep your shopping experience more pleasant.

Pray for victory, plan for failure Try to research and identify potential substitutes if the item you want to get is sold out, especially if the item is in high demand that year. Bryan Trude: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; btrude@issaquahreporter.com

Renton man killed in SR 900 wreck BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

An early morning accident on Nov. 21 near Issaquah left a Renton man dead after rolling his vehicle on State Route 900. A 64-year old male was driving westbound on SR 900 just after 2 a.m. according to a statement by the Washington State Patrol. According to the WSP, the driver, in a white 1976 Toyota pickup, failed to negotiate a curve at 174th Place Southeast, about three miles west of Issaquah, and went into a ditch.

The vehicle rolled multiple times and came to a rest on its roof according to WSP reports. The deceased was driving in intermittent rain at the time, and was declared dead at the scene by medical personnel. WSP officials have declined to release the deceased’s identity pending notification of next of kin. An exact cause of death is pending an autopsy by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. Bryan Trude: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; btrude@issaquahreporter.com

What’s happening in Issaquah and Sammamish

Eastside winter shelters open

The city of Bellevue has opened its Eastside Winter Shelter for homeless men at the International Paper. The shelter serves men from throughout the Eastside. Catholic Community Services also has opened its women's shelter at the St. Peter's United Methodist Church in Bellevue that same day through January, when it moves to the Redmond United Methodist Church. The men's shelter is expected to provide shelter through March. The International Paper site is at 1899 120th Ave. N.E., and homeless men will be able to use the site 8 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. The shelters are also seeking community donations to provide meals. More information about the meal program can be found at www.tinyurl.com/lt7dg9r.

More information contact Ott directly at 425-830-7746 The No Whiners meet on the second Wednesday of every month in the second floor conference center at the Swedish campus located at 751 N.E. Blakely Drive. The support group is free and open to any person dealing with a neurological condition as well as their caretakers. Refreshments will be served. For more information on the No Whiners, contact Gregg Robinson with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society at gregg.robinson@nmss.org.

PSE to distribute credit to users

Puget Sound Energy customers will get a one-time credit applied to December and January bills that will save the average residential electric customer about $40. The credit passes along the financial benefit of sale of PSE’s assets in Jefferson County in 2010. The total amount to be paid to PSE customers will be $59.2 million, which includes interest that has accrued. PSE provides electricity to more than 1.1 million customers in eight counties: Island, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Thurston, and Whatcom. Every current PSE electric customer, residential and business, will receive the credit and customers will not need to request the credit; it will automatically appear on their billing statements. Because of varying billing cycles, most customers will see a portion of the credit on their December statement, and the remainder on their January bill. The credits will be based on electricity used during the month of December.

Sammamish boards have openings

The Sammamish City Council is seeking volunteers to apply to the Arts Commission, the Beaver Lake Management District Board, the Planning Commission, and the Parks and Recreation Commission. All positions are for four years beginning in February

Litzow, Senn honored for helping kids

Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, and Rep. Tana Senn, D-Mercer Island, have been honored for their commitment to the first five years of a child’s life. The legislators, who represent the 41st Legislative District, received a Silver Crayon Award by the Early Learning Action Alliance. Litzow is chair of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee. The award was presented at a reception organized in collaboration with SOAR, which hosts the King County Early Learning Coalition. The event was attended by early learning leaders from throughout King County. While Crayon Awards recognize achievements over the past two years, they also represent the expectation that legislators will be even stronger supporters of early learning in the future. Silver Crayon Award recipients are considered steadfast advocates who further the cause and cast their votes for early learning issues.

Projects sought to help nonprofits

The Executive Development Institute is seeking projects from nonprofit organizations that will be undertaken by those in the institute’s leadership programs. The projects allow participants to experience the rewards of giving back through teamwork and innovative leadership. Over the past 20 years, EDI participant teams have assisted 90 nonprofit agencies and worked on over a 120 projects for these agencies. Nonprofits interesting in being considered must submit proposals by Dec. 31. More information is available by contacting Vivian Huang at vivian@ediorg.org or at 425467-9365.

Help Bring 300,000 Meals to Hungry Western Washington Families this Holiday More than half a million people in the Western Washington region go hungry every year. For more than a decade, QFC and you—our customers—have worked hard to reduce that number. Since 2001, our Bringing Hope to the Table campaign has put more than 4 million meals on the tables of hungry families in the Northwest. This year, our goal is to provide a meal for 300,000 hungry people in our community. From now through December 28, Food Lifeline and QFC are teaming up to give the community more opportunities to stock food bank shelves. Here’s how you can help at your local QFC store: • Purchase a $10 pre-made bag filled with nutritious, protein-packed, food-bank approved products at any QFC location. Bag contents include peanut butter, steel-cut oats and more. • Make a $1 or $5 cash donation when you check out. • Drop your change in the coin boxes located at the register. • Look for special tags throughout the store marking food-bank recommended items. Purchase one or more and drop them in designated bins at the front of every store. • Purchase participating Kendall Jackson wines. For every bottle sold, Kendall Jackson will donate 50 cents to Bringing Hope to the Table campaign. • Purchase any Full Sail product. The Hood River brewery will donate $1 for every 12 bottles sold to the Bringing Hope to the Table campaign. • Purchase participating Bailey’s product. For every case sold, Bailey’s will donate $6 to the Bringing Hope to the Table campaign. Join us in reaching our goal of delivering 300,000 meals to hungry area families this year. For more details, visit www.qfc.com/community. Thanks for all you do to help the fight against hunger during the holiday season and beyond. Paid Adver tisement

EDITOR’S NOTE

I

As the holidays begin, give the gift of help and hope to others

t’s Black Friday, which means that people are flooding shops and stores looking for the perfect gift — or at least a good bargain. That’s well and good. Merchants need the business and today means their bottom line turns to black from red. But there is so much more to the holiday season than things in pretty boxes and fancy bows. More than anything, it should be a time of help and hope. Earlier this week, the Reporter staff from all of its departments helped prepare boxes of food and supplies so hundreds of families would be able to CRAIG GROSHART enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving meal with their loved ones. My effort came with the title “Kitchen Help.” Pretty unglamorous, but then glamor isn’t what’s needed. What counts is a willingness to help. Fortunately in our area, there are many organizations, made up of caring individuals, who each day extend a helping hand to those in need. Look around and you’ll find organizations preparing and serving daily meals, food and clothing banks keeping shelves filled with daily necessities, stepping in to pay utility bills or even rent when an emergency strikes a family and they simply run out of money. The goal is a simple one: help individuals get back on their feet, keep families together and give everyone a chance to have a better life. For all the good that these groups do, they still need your help. A financial donation is always welcome, but so is your time. Look around. The need is everywhere. With just a little effort, you, too, can offer help and hope. Craig Groshart: 425-453-4233; cgroshart@issaquahreporter.com

A

ll across the campus, you see them, those hungry students. They gather in our office, they lurk in the cafeteria. They peek through the doors of events, asking if the potluck or speaker is open to the public. They are students on campus between classes, international students, running start students, homeless students, and students living in shelters. These students do not match the stereotype of the “hungry college student” subsisting on ramen and multivitamins alone. The students at Bellevue College, like all community colleges, have seen their expenses rise over the BRANDON LUEKEN past 10 years. Quarterly tuition and fees at a community college with a standard 15 credit load costs $4,000 a year, per the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. There are also book costs, which means expensive textbooks for those Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) majors we eagerly push out. Textbooks can cost upwards of $150 per class, and with three

different classes, that can add a hefty $450 in books alone. Transportation becomes another issue. Bus passes can run $90 a month, and quarters run three months. The lowest cost educational option available to students, the reliable community college system, may soon outpace student’s ability to pay. Even now, students struggle to earn their way through college at a community college before taking out loans when they transfer for a four-year university. With all of these fixed costs, necessities for attending school, students begin to skimp on what the rest of our society considers the basics: food, rent and utilities. For the past three years students, staff and faculty at Bellevue College have been fighting student hunger on many fronts. Students formed a garden club, planted a garden, and freely give fresh produce away to members and other needy students. Every fall, the campus has orchestrated a food drive to donate hundreds of pounds of food to St. Andrews Lutheran Church food bank across the street from the college, which feeds the community SEE HIGHER ED, 7

Fresh starts for library fines

A

t a recent visit to a Seattle library, I accompanied my son to the check-out desk. The staff member behind the desk told us there were some fines on his card. As a librarian I feel a special kind of shame in discovering when my kids lose or damage books. My son blushed, I blushed, then I gave him a sigh and what my husband refers to as the Stern Look of Disapproval. As I reached for my wallet, I calculated a list of chores that could be done to pay back those fines. There are a few common things people ask when they learn I’m a librarian. The questions are usually what I’m reading and how to download an ebook. The most DARCY BRIXEY common occurrence is a quiet admission that they haven’t been to a library lately because they are embarrassed by having too many fines. There is a campaign right now to help rid students of their library fines. If students are in kindergarten through 12th

Door-to-door concerns

I would like to let my fellow Sammamish and Issaquah neighbors know that there have been some strange, aggressive "carpet cleaning" sales people in my neighborhood recently. I was driving home to my darkened home at 7:30 p.m. and one of these "salespeople" was on my unlit front porch. She attempted to convince me that I should let her into my home to clean, for free, one of the rooms in my home. The caveat was that it was only a one day deal and it had to be NOW. I asked for a card/flier about her business and she had none to give me. We disseminated this information to the neighbors on

grade they can ask for a Fresh Start on fines that were accrued before November 2014. This does not extend to fees from lost items or to adults. More information is available at http:// www.kcls.org/usingthelibrary/freshstart/. There are a few other things I’d like to point out about fines: ■ If you are an adult with overdue fines we promise to not tell your mother. We will also not shun you, taunt you or put your photo in the post office. ■ If your account is under $10 you can still check out items. A total of $9.99 in fines still allows you access of up to 100 items and downloads. ■ Fines do not accrue interest like credit cards do. I wish Visa would follow suit. ■ Your fines can be paid online. This is a simple way to avoid the embarrassment of admitting to a staff member you kept “Fifty Shades of Grey” a week longer than the due date. ■ Ebooks can never be overdue. They simply expire. If managing a household worth of library cards is getting to be too much, remember that Library Elf can help consolidate those cards and you can set your preferences for helpful reminders by email or text when things are coming due. We could all use a fresh start now and then. Maybe I’ll suggest it to Visa.

including Bellevue College students. Students and administration have investigated methods to accept EBT benefits on campus. The cafeteria piloted a program in Fall 2013 and Winter 2014 to sponsor one meal a day for those with Washington SNAP cards. The funds to support this program ran dry after two quarters, and the college has also explored legislative means of dealing with hunger. With support from other community colleges, Bellevue College is leading the charge to ask for legislation allowing for all public higher education institutions for exemptions to the existing EBT policies to accept SNAP benefits in our cafeteria. Bellevue College may have changed its name, but the college certainly did not abandon its community. We serve the most at-risk students, those whose situations are most fragile and tenuous, for whom a two-year degree can take four years to complete. We are, and will continue to serve the most basic needs of our students: the hungry body and the hungry mind.

there was nothing they could do. I wanted to warn others that if they experience these aggressive "sales" tactics to not let these people in their homes and to call police immediately.

Reporter’s Notebook

A five-second cure for crime

I

’ve always had a certain fascination with crime stories. It may be from my professional background — before returning to school for my journalism degree, I was a 911 operator. Alternatively, it may stem from my BRYAN childTRUDE hood dreams of being a cop, when I wasn’t dreaming of being an astronaut/being Gordie Howe/ living in the Technodrome. Regardless, crime stories remain one of my favorite things to write about. While Sammamish thankfully doesn’t have an ongoing stream of murders, beatings and public displays of redneck ignorance to keep me neck deep in police reports, I do read and type up the weekly Sammamish police blotter. In between

thinking of my “witty” headlines, I do tend to notice little trends. Trends that make me bring whatever train of thought I am riding on to a screeching halt. One such trend happened in last week’s blotter, specifically on Nov. 15. On that day, SPD responded to an awful lot of car prowls and outright thefts. All in the same general area, all with a similar connecting thread. Unlocked vehicles. Open garages. When I was a 911 operator, I worked in a small town just outside of a major city. It’s a fairly rural place, more cows than people, but within the last decade it had seen a boom of new city money bringing families out to McMansions to raise their kids in “safe, country homes away from the crime of the city.” One day, a gentleman came in to the station while I was on duty. He had lived in town for less than 48 hours and was very nearly in tears. It seemed that overnight, thieves had

stolen an 18-foot flatbed trailer from a fenced off portion of his backyard. While listening to him talk to the officer, the officer asked if the thieves damaged a lock. The flatbed owner said no, the fence was unlocked. He then said “I moved out to the country to get away from this! I thought this was the kind of place you could leave your front door unlocked.” That place, that glorified TV-ized image of America from the ‘50s? News flash, it doesn’t exist anymore, if it existed at all. Thieves, at least the ones that don’t get caught, tend to be a paranoid lot. I can still hear my report writing instructor from my first stint through college as a Criminal Justice major, sitting in an un-airconditioned, windowless classroom in the hot Oklahoma summer, saying this over and over again. Even as I wrote those blotter entries last week, I could hear him saying those words over

and over again. It leaves me to wonder just how many of those thefts could have been avoided if people would lock their cars, remove their valuables, or stop leaving their garages open overnight. It’s an attitude I find disturbingly pervasive, even from my own relatives. A few months ago, my mom’s car was ransacked in her driveway because she left it unlocked. Yes, the police are there to respond to crimes and help in any way they can. That does not absolve us from taking some responsibility for the safety and security of our property, even if it just means taking five seconds to make sure the car’s locked up. Bryan Trude is a reporter for the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter, who primarily covers Sammamish, and is a little neurotic about making sure his car is locked unless he’s in it, not that there’s anything of value in there. He can be reached at 425-391-0363 ext. 5054, or by email at btrude@ issaquahreporter.com.

LWSD seeking grading committee volunteers When Lake Washington School District changed from a junior high school model to a middle school, it focused on making these schools a smooth transition from elementary school to high school. In the course of that transition, staff and administrators realized the middle school report card was not serving students and parents as well as it could. The district seeks parents and community members to serve on the Middle School Grading Advisory Committee for the 2014-15 school year. LWSD uses two different grading systems in elementary school and in high school. High schools use the traditional letter grades. Those grades are used in determining college admissions and other post-secondary opportunities. Elementary schools use a report card that assigns a number between one and four based on whether the student is not at, approaching, at or exceeds standard. This system, known as standards-based grading, is widely considered a “best practice” for accurately reporting student performance as measured against learning standards. In fall 2015, the district will transition to a grading system in middle school that helps students and their parents understand student progress toward meeting the new state standards. An advisory group of administrators, teachers and others are looking for parents to help shape a balanced, research-based report card that provides middle school students with a transition from elementary school to high school. This report card should help students understand how they are doing in learning the standards they will need to success in high school. Those interested should complete a brief online application by December 5 indicating their interest and availability. Those interested also can email Linda Stevens, director of assessing and reporting. Volunteer members will be selected based upon geographic location and diverse representation as well availability on the meeting dates. For more information, visit www.lwsd.org.

New Issaquah business looks (and tastes) sweet Nothing Bundt Cakes opens first location in King County BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Driven inside by pervasive rain, a small crowd gathered in a tiny storefront Nov. 21 to welcome Issaquah's newest and sweetest business. Nothing Bundt Cakes, 755 N.W. Gilman, opened its first King County location, cutting the ribbon on the bundt cake-centric bakery with Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler, Issaquah Chamber of Commerce CEO Matthew Bott, and Impact Studios founder and "King of Issaquah" Nathan Bosseler. The bakery is the second Nothing Bundt Cakes location opened in the Puget Sound region in the last few months, owned by franchisees Lea and Brian Saunders. "Everything is made fresh on premises," Lea Saunders said. "Everything is made from scratch. It's like a home ec explosion in the back of the bakery." Founded in 1997 by Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz as a side project for entertaining friends and family, Nothing Bundt Cakes has expanded to locations in 25 states throughout the southern U.S. and the Pacific Coast. The Issaquah location is the third in Washington, with bakeries in Mill

Sammamish networking fair connects people to businesses

Economist says 2015 forecast better than last year's BY BRANDON MACZ REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

More than 15 vendors gathered at Sammamish's Plateau Club for a networking fair during the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce's monthly luncheon Nov. 20. The luncheon, catered by the Plateau Club and sponsored by Accounting Professionals, Inc. of Sammamish, is an important networking opportunity for small businesses, especially in a community like Sammamish, Chamber Executive Director Deborah Sogge said. It is the fourth year for the networking fair. "We always have to give our businesses opportunities to show off what they do," Sogge said. The fair, which is open to the public, is held annually in November. The keynote speaker, Teresa Lindo of Accounting Professionals, Inc., spoke to the crowd of about 50. Lindo talked about paying attention to tax liabilities in foreign accounts and how it can attract unwanted attention. "The reason they established [laws pertaining to tax-free accounts overseas] is to find people who were hiding money offshore to send around the world to people

The United States’ Standard & Poor's rating is up 14 percent since Quinlan, a global wealth and investment JOE management economist QUINLAN for Bank of America, last spoke during the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce's Eastside Economic Forecast Breakfast in 2013. Microsoft stock is up 35 percent since last November and 2.4 million jobs have been created nationally. "We're back on top," Quinlan said of the United States' economy, cautioning its continued success depends on a struggling global economy finding a way to rebound. "I don't want to be on top of a crumbling mountain." The European Union is effectively in a recession, he said, and even China and India are showing signs of slowing economic growth.

Public Health to scale back fee proposal for public markets The King County Council has directed Public Health to find ways to scale back its proposed increases to permit fees for farmers markets in 2015, after operators and vendors expressed concerns the increase will be their undoing. The proposed 2015 schedule would raise the recurring event plan review — for preliminary assessments of event sites — 12 percent, from $201 an hour to $225 an hour.

said fees cover the cost of inspections, with no subsidization from the county's general fund. "The cost of the inspections reflects the full cost of delivering the service, so there's no subsidy from taxpayers, and this is reflective of any of our other inspections," he said. Now Public Health has been given until Dec. 18, when the Board of Health holds a public hearing for proposed impact fees, to find ways to reduce them. "They expressed that we want to see a lower fee," Apa said of the county council. "They didn't indicate exactly how to get there." A second stakeholders meeting was held Wednesday to gather feedback and ideas as to how. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602, bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Tracking pop art from its origins to its departures BY BRIAN MILLER SEATTLE WEEKLY

Seattle Art Museum director Kimerly Rorschach was hedging her language during last month’s press launch for its awkwardly divided new show. Pop Departures, mostly sourced from SAM’s own collection, isn’t purely devoted to Pop Art — meaning Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, and company, who so thoroughly disrupted the art scene of the 1960s. Instead, said Rorschach, the show “is tracing a lineage” from those old, white elders of Pop to their heirs of the ’80s and beyond — call them the Departees, perhaps? Everything fit for a poster or tote bag — see the gift shop, please — comes first in the chronological show of over 100 works by 28 artists. The grabby images are all there, mixing roadside iconography (Ed Ruscha), Hollywood faces (Warhol), comic-book panels (Lichtenstein), and even familiar plates of diner food (Oldenburg’s sculptures, which haven’t aged well). You could do an entire show on each of the Pop elders but this show also insists on the importance of the next two generations of Departees. “Pop Art doesn’t feel to me like a closed chapter,” says SAM curator Catharina Manchanda, who organized the exhibit. (She’ll give a talk on it at 11 a.m. Fri., Nov. 7.) Her catalog thesis is essentially that Pop never really died. Did Minimalism or Conceptualism eclipse it, or was it simply absorbed into the bright, readymade universe of symbols and logos? Did borrowing and appropriation ever play themselves out? Look outside your

window (or your computer screen, home of the image grab), and the answer is clearly no. Yet for Manchanda, at least, the original spirit of non-ironic Pop celebration has curdled. “Consumerism today is alive and well on a global scale, but no longer tinged with that happy optimism,” she writes in the show’s catalog. Thus we detect a growing sense of irony and criticism as we proceed

through later examples of borrowed imagery, including Richard Prince’s cigarette-ad cowboys and Barbara Kruger’s framing of Warhol’s own iconic face. Moving past the millennium, Manchanda sees “the foregrounding of a culture of display,” more engagement with the market and commodification. Notable among recent works is the German artist Josephine Meckseper’s none-too-subtly named American Mall, a mirrored display of consumer items. Meckseper’s diorama is intentionally full of gaudy, vulgar trinkets — in keeping with what Manchanda calls “the tinge of strangeness, surrealness, or discomfort” that artists today feel about such crass commercial displays. You can’t simply enjoy the representation of a Campbell’s Soup can for its elegant red-and-white label; here Meckseper’s mirrors mean “the viewer cannot escape their own image while looking at it,” she says. Warhol had no use for reflecting ugly, ordinary people like us — mere shoppers or museumgoers. And there’s one thing you can say about Pop during the Ike–JFK ’60s: It wasn’t political. Does anyone remember what Warhol had to say about Vietnam? No — because he had no such views. He was concerned with images and objects that contained their own ideas, requiring none from the artist; hence his famous quip about wanting to be a machine. Pop was a retreat from the intense psychology of the postwar moment. Things didn’t mean. Things just were. The money quote, as always, comes from Warhol: “The Pop artist did images that any-

body walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second — comics, picnic tables, men’s trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles—all the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried so hard not to notice at all.” And they still look great — so clean and uncluttered, their meaning honed and refined by copywriters and photo retouchers, perfect encapsulations of the consumer zeitgeist. Manchanda writes that “Warhol glamorized the object,” but there’s more to it than that. If not political in an anti-capitalistic sense, Pop winked at its sources. Pop Art isn’t naive, as Manchanda sometimes seems to suggest; its sources were naive. Pop was never meant to be cute. Its early, eye-pleasing qualities disguise its unsettling and often satirical intent. But the Departees had to distinguish themselves from Old Uncle Andy, and that is why most of the later work rejects any lingering notions of beauty. That’s not to say it’s is bad or ugly; it just doesn’t earn repeated viewings. You get it, or don’t, and move on. And that returns us to the atavistic allure of Warhol, Lichtenstein, and, for me especially, Ruscha. Who buys Brillo anymore, or gasoline at Standard filling stations? Yet they still look great, in part because they’re divorced from the current economy. At a museum exhibition 50 years hence, no one will want to be reminded of the pop-up ads and screen clutter of today’s Internet. But the Google doodle? Maybe that’s Pop.

Skyline girls take third place in state soccer tournament Spartans bounce back from heartbreaking loss to Jackson BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It wasn't a state title but the Skyline Spartans still were ecstatic about their performance at the Class 4A girls state soccer tournament. Skyline scored two second-half goals, securing a 3-1 victory against the Gig Harbor Tides in the third place/fourth place game on Nov. 22 at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup. Skyline forward Amanda Johnston, who had one goal (36th minute) and one assist against the Tides, was glad her team rebounded from a heartbreaking 3-2 loss against Jackson in the Class 4A semifinals on Nov. 21. "We wanted to be in the state championship game, but I think finishing in third place is good. We're really grateful for it. It feels great," Johnston said. "The seniors knew this was our last time playing for Skyline. We just had to put it all out there and we played our last game like it was the championship." With the score tied at 1-1 late in the second half, Johnston's assist on a Kelli Sullivan

HARD TO WRAP.

EASY TO GIVE.

Don Braman said his team was focused but relaxed heading into the third place/fourth place game against Gig Harbor. "Today was just about fun and about going out and having an absolute joy of your

life in this game," Braman said. "The more the girls do that, the better we play. It was a lot of fun." Braman will miss this year's senior class. The Spartans had 13 seniors on the 2014 squad. The senior class finished their high school careers with two state championships and three KingCo titles. "We love them to death. They worked really hard and invested a lot in our program. We've done a lot of really great things as a team. I couldn't be happier with the contributions they have made. A lot of them will be playing at the next level and I wish them nothing but the best," he said. Johnston, who has committed to the University of Washington, will be one of those seniors playing collegiate soccer. "Amanda has been a hard worker for us all year. If she hadn't turned her ankle (injury suffered early in the season) she probably would have had a half dozen or more goals this season. She's a dynamic player and I was really pleased with the way she stretches other teams defenses," Braman said. "I wish her nothing but the best at the University of Washington." SEE SOCCER, 16

Cronk commits to Division-1 lacrosse school

Presents the November STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastside Catholic Crusaders' last line of defense on the lacrosse field will continue his career at the Division-1 level. Cameron Cronk, who will graduate from Eastside Catholic School in June of 2015, signed a letter of intent with the New Jersey Institute of Technology in early November. The campus is located in Newark, N.J. Cronk was recruited by close to 30 schools, but said the decision to join NJIT was an easy one athletically and academically. "It's a second year Division-1 lacrosse program and they have a great engineering program too. That played a huge part in my decision. I'm excited about having a chance to help establish a brand new program and see it grow from the roots on up," Cronk said. Before Cronk makes the move to the East Coast, he wants the Crusaders to bring home a lacrosse state championship this spring. "We want to win a state title. That is our biggest goal we want to achieve. I know our entire team is super hyped for the season," he said. Cronk said he's played goalie ever since he started

With nine minutes left in regulation of the Class 4A semifinals, it appeared the Skyline Spartans had punched their ticket to the state championship game. It didn't happen.

Jackson's Lynnae George scored the game-winning goal in the 78th minute off of a pass on a free kick by Rikki Myers.

Braman said his team's effort was top notch, but they just didn't get the result they wanted. "It was unfortunate we just didn't get it done tonight. I thought we played really great in a lot of the game and had a couple of tough moments. This his how the sport goes sometimes. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce the way you want it to," Braman said.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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
