Issaquah to hire more engineers to keep pace with transportation

International Film Festival returns to Issaquah next week Page 9

During the regular meeting, council member Nancy Whitten called the original resolution a “cop-out.” Council member Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo echoed Whitten’s statement. “We’d be remiss now not to take a firm stance on this,” Valderrama-Aramayo said. At least 50 Sammamish community members packed in the city hall Tuesday night, more than 20 of them speaking in favor of permanently maintaining the barricade. The barricade separates the Timberline Park and WaterBrook neighborhoods and opens for emergency vehicles only. There are around 400 homes and 1,600 residents affected by the barricade, Valderrama-Aramayo said.

As the city of Issaquah continues to run full steam ahead to address transportation and other infrastructure, the municipal government's Public Works and Engineering department will now add further engineering positions. The city council on Tuesday signed off on an initiative to staff two additional full-time senior engineers and upgrade an existing environmental associate to full time. The positions will cost more than $187,000 for salaries, benefits and equipment. That amount was not budgeted for 2015, but the need for staff has become pressing, Deputy City Administrator Emily Moon said. Moon presented the bill to council on behalf of the department. In recent years, the public works department has had to shift its workload to other departments and rely on outside consultants, Moon said. She said city administrators made the shifts knowing it could need additional staff at some time in the future. "We're at that point now," Moon said. Three factors have made the additional staff vital, she said: The city council's increased focus on transportation policy; requests from

A closer look at barricade BY MEGAN CAMPBELL

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Sammamish City Council voted 5-1 Tuesday night to further investigate the safety issues related to the 42nd Street barricade. Staff were also instructed to investigate the possible costs associated with addressing the barricade and a project timeline. The original resolution on the council’s agenda simply stated the council would not allocate funds to the barricade during the 2015-16 year. While council may not have the funding for the project, city staff have been directed to collect and present recent data to the council so it might consider the impact of maintaining or removing the barricade.

Juanita student accused of second degree attempted rape transfers to Eastlake High School BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A former Juanita High School student, charged with second degree attempted rape of a fellow student, has transfered to Eastlake High School. The teen was one of five charged after allegedly attacking a special-needs student at Juanita High School in late October 2014, according to the charging records. Both schools are within the Lake Washington School District. District communications director Kathryn Reith and Eastlake High School would not confirm that one of the accused teens had transferred to East-

lake. However, the Reporter identified the student had changed schools based on an Eastlake sports roster. The district had placed all five suspects on emergency expulsion after the incident. The district gives an emergency expulsion if the district believes the students are a danger to others, Reith said. She added that in some cases, students can apply for an alternative placement. In this case, the student would have to pose some danger to his or her fellow students or may need to start fresh at another school. Before a student is placed in another school, that school's principal must sign off on the transfer. All suspects, when charged, were between the

ages of 14 and 15. The victim was 18 years old. The suspects, all on the Juanita freshmen football team, are accused of holding the victim against his will in the boys shower in the locker room. One of boys used a broom handle in an attempt to penetrate the victim's rectum, while another boy filmed the incident on his phone. According to the charging records, the incident ended quickly. The report indicates the event had been planned and was part of a hazing ritual known to football players as "jubie." The arraignment is scheduled for today in King County Juvenile Court.

Demand for KCHA Section 8 vouchers remains strong The following is a release from the King County Housing Authority: The King County Housing Authority received more than 22,000 applications for Section 8 rental assistance during a two-week application period that closed Feb. 10. The 22,615 families that submitted an application represent more than 50,100 individuals living in extreme poverty and unstable housing including nearly 22,000 children − 35 percent of whom are homeless. Of these, one out of every four children are in a household fleeing domestic violence. In addition, 12,116 applicants are seniors and people with disabilities and 906 applicants are veterans who have served in America’s armed forces. “These numbers show that there is simply not enough affordable housing for low-income households in King County,” said Stephen Norman, executive director of the King County Housing Authority. “The region is becoming too expensive for many folks already living here − seniors whose monthly Social Security check is less than the cost of rent; families with children where low wages aren’t keeping up with rising rents; veterans struggling to find stable housing. A staggering 42 percent of the households who applied are homeless.” A lottery will be held in March to determine which of the 22,615 families will be placed on the waiting list, which will be capped at 2,500

slots. The first applicants on the list will be issued vouchers in April. Depending on federal funding, those at the tail end of the list could face a wait of four or more years to obtain a voucher. The Section 8 Housing Choice voucher program targets low-income households most in need of housing in King County. Applicants must be homeless or about to become homeless, live in substandard housing or be spending more than 50 percent of their income on rent. A typical household in KCHA’s program has an average income of $14,200. Currently, KCHA Section 8 program provides rental assistance to 11,300 families in King County. More than 3,200 landlords participate in the program. Generally the program pays the difference between the rent charged by a housing owner and the assisted household’s rental contribution, which is set at approximately 30 percent of the household’s income adjusted for family size and utility costs. “Finding decent, affordable housing in King County is a tremendous challenge for poor people,” Norman said. “For elderly and disabled individuals on fixed incomes, for low-wage families, decent housing is often beyond reach − and the most vulnerable members of our community are increasingly being forced to choose between food, medicine or rent. More and more are going homeless.”

It was there when Sammamish incorporated into into a city and has been a point of contention for the surrounding residents for more than a decade. Concerned resident after concerned resident addressed the council during the public comment section of the meeting. Supporters of the barricade noted the safety concerns of thru-traffic, including steep hills, blind corners, speeding vehicles, frequent pedestrian activities and hazardous bus stops. “It’s just a crazy hill,” Timberline Park resident

Friday, February 20, 2015

Tom Rizzo said. “To make that thing safe, you’d have to put in a ton of speed bumps.” Rizzo, who lives just a couple houses east of the barricade, admittedly should support the barricade’s removal. If it were removed, he could easily shave 15 minutes off his morning and evening commutes. “I don’t mind driving around because it’s completely unsafe,” he said. Rizzo’s 3-year-old and 9-year-old daughters play on the hill. In the winter time, he says it’s a great place to go sledding. Most residents cite similar safety issues. Timberline resident Greg Reynolds calls these “emotional” arguments.

“If it’s safe for you to drive on that hill, why is it unsafe for me to?” he asked another Timberline Park resident last week. Citing mainly documentation from the 1996 hiring examiners report and city policies, Reynolds also protests the barrier’s legality. Council member Kathleen Huckabay was the only council member opposed to having the city further investigate the issue. She cautioned the audience and the council that pursuing this investigation casts an uncertain future for the barricade. The data could support removing the gate.

Sammamish near vote on commission applicants Sammamish City Council members have just about finished interviews for openings on the Sammamish Planning Commission. Three of the seven commission positions are vacant. The council will vote on the candidates March 17 during the regularly scheduled council meeting.

Two of the three open positions are for a four-year term; the other is a one-year term due to a resignation. The commission was formed in 2003 and makes recommendations to the council regarding land-use regulations and the city’s comprehensive plan. The next Planning Commission meeting is March 19.

buisnesses and citizens to put more resources into mobility; and the need to meet federal Environmental Protection Agency requirements for the city's water pollutant discharge permit. All cities that collect stormwater in sewers and discharge it to other bodies of water are required by the Clean Water Act to have a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit. Issaquah has a Phase II permit, putting it on the hook for a Stormwater Management Program that includes public outreach and involvement, detection and elimination of illicit discharge, runoff control at construction sites and pollution prevention. The environmental associate responsible for those duties will be upgraded to full time, from three-quarters of full time. The positions that will open up include two full-time senior engineers, one to be recruited as soon as possible and another in the last three months of 2015. Both positions would be responsible for capital project management and design and construction. However, one would be additionally focused on transportation and the other on utilities. Councilmember Nina Milligan questioned whether the city budget would be able to handle the new costs, in terms of salary and eventual severance. Moon said some of the costs would come out of capital funds where consulting contracts had been factored in. Severance would be trickier to calculate. But she added that the utilities engineer, particularly, would result in cost savings for the city down the line. Some councilmembers were unsure about the potential for savings. "That gives me pause and it still does," Councilmember Eileen Barber said. The council amended the proposal for a committee to examine savings by the end of the year. Councilmember Stacy Goodman believed the new engineers would fill an important role in the city's future. "There's something tougher than the strain on our budget and that's the strain on our roads," she said.

Dissatisfied with the recently updated East Lake Sammamish Trail design plans for segment A, the Sammamish City Council wants an explanation from King County staff. The county released its 90 percent design report for the southern Sammamish segment A earlier this week. However, council members said the design appears to lack flexibility concerning trail width and the number of trees removed — something residents had felt would be considered more closely. The county had collected public comments regarding its recent plans to widen and pave the path. Public works director Laura Philpot said at the Sammamish City Council meeting on Tuesday that the county has not been able to get through all of those comments. Council member Romiro Valderrama-Aramayo pressed the council to vote to bring the county in and explain the situation, which was being blamed on miscommunication. The

motion passed. Valderrama-Aramayo even moved to threaten to withdraw the trail from the Inter Local Agreement with the county if county staff do not present a satisfactory answer. Ultimately, Valderrama-Aramayo’s motion to withdraw the ILA failed. “I don’t think we’ll be ready to have that discussion,” council member Kathleen Huckabay. Huckabay was concerned with the consequences of taking such action. She said she wants to give the county the benefit of the doubt. Philpot was slated to meet with King County parks director Kevin Brown late this week. An update from that meeting is scheduled to be presented at the next council meeting, on March 3. Philpot said she would also ask Brown, or another King County staff member, to address the council at the next meeting. The East Lake Sammamish Trail is an 11-mile recreational path, which was originally a railway, that winds along Lake Sammamish. Recently, the county has been making progress on

EDITORIAL

Keep minimum wage the same across the state

he $15 an hour minimum wage got another twist this week with a bill introduced in the state Senate. Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, would take away local authority to raise the minimum wage while pegging the statewide minimum wage to new standards. It’s an idea that has merit and deserves attention. Seattle voters last year approved a $15 an hour minimum wage, which will be phased in over several years depending on such things as company size. Under Miloscia’s plan, the state’s minimum wage instead would rise based on urban inflation and personal income growth. Miloscia says those factors would boost the minimum wage about 45 cents each year. It would take longer to reach $15, but it would get there faster than under the state formula now. That likely won’t sit well with backers of the $15 an hour wage, but a statewide system makes sense. The problem with local options is they can produce confusion and sometimes unintended consequences when one city bumps up against another. That was the case some years back regarding blood-alcohol levels that would trigger a DUI in Bellevue and Redmond. A motorist having some drinks in a restaurant in the Overlake area could drive legally on the Bellevue side of 148th Avenue Northeast. Yet, just across the street was Redmond, where the amount of alcohol in the blood could trigger a DUI. Likewise, a business in Seattle, having to pay a higherthan-elsewhere minimum wage, would be at a competitive disadvantage with a similar company operating a few short feet away in a city without the higher wage. Sure, most businesses further within the Seattle city limits won’t face that situation. But the $15 an hour minimum wage already has caused one Seattle company to say it’s transferring some manufacturing jobs to Nevada. Given the Democratic control of the state House, Miloscia’s bill probably will have tough sledding there. But the fact remains we have a statewide minimum wage now. If it needs to be raised higher and faster, then that should be statewide as well. —Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

When life hangs in balance BY TOM REA, MD

he Life Sciences Discovery Fund was created to support life sciences research and development in Washington state. When applied to health care and medicine, this research and development has the potential to save lives. Cardiac arrest is an important example where applied science can improve health care. In cardiac arrest, the heart stops TOM beating suddenly, REA blood pressure drops, and consciousness is lost. Death is certain unless the heart can be restarted in minutes. Successful resuscitation is possible, but requires a coordinated, timesensitive set of rescuer actions that integrate emergency response (call 9-1-1), CPR (chest compressions), defibrillation (electrical shock), and advanced medical therapies. These lifesaving actions require a team approach that includes the general

public, the emergency dispatcher, the EMT, the paramedic and hospital providers. The Life Sciences Discovery Fund has helped ensure that the team of rescuers is better prepared for those precious minutes when life hangs in the balance. In 2008, the Life Sciences Discovery Fund and partners collaborated to develop the Program to Integrate Technology and Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation, leveraging the strengths of the region’s emergency care system. Partners such as the Medic One/King County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division of Public Health – Seattle & King County, the University of Washington, Philips Medical, Physio-Control Inc. and others came together to evaluate a variety of strategies to improve survival rates. In undertaking the program, the partners leveraged the region’s high cardiac arrest survival. King County boasts the highest survival in the world, with more than 60 percent of patients surviving from collapse to hospital discharge. By comparison, cities like New York and Chicago

Credibility takes a beating

Credibility is the most important thing there is in a news operation. Hard to attain, harder to maintain, and way too easy to lose. So when someone takes a chunk out of it, it hurts. And when that someone is at the top of the heap, it hurts even more. NBC’s Brian Williams is now among the self-inflicted victims, admitting conflating some memories (“conflate-gate?” No! Please! Let’s not go there.) on his coverage of the war in the MidEast, and being questioned about Hurricane Katrina coverage. It appears he may have crossed a line that’s uncrossable in the profession, into fiction. And covering himself covering the news…seldom a good idea. Not the first to do so, and not the most egregious, but when someone as prominent as he is does it, it hurts not only him, but every reporter, anchor, and SEE LETTERS, 5

report survival rates in the single digits. The high rate of survival is a testament to the ongoing effort to rigorously evaluate emergency care by King County EMS and to the dedication, skills and teamwork of the region’s emergency dispatchers, EMTs and paramedics. The goals of the program are not just to advance scientific understanding, but to engage in innovative programs that can improve survival around the region

and across the state. To this end, two new approaches have been deployed. First, a “Resuscitation Academy” provides a curriculum aimed at enabling leadership to improve SCA survival in their community. Thus far, the academy has trained individuals in 31 of 39 Washington counties. A second community engagement effort involves police officers. Although police respond to a variety of emergencies, they traditionally do not routinely respond to medical emergencies.

Sammamish Learning Center to close its doors Owners sell property to housing developers BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish Learning Center will permanently close its doors in June, at the end of the school year. The preschool is staffed by around 20 women who have taught hundreds of Eastside children ages 3-5 since the school opened in the mid '90s. Currently there are more than 100 children enrolled. Many students are not there every day, but attend either a morning or afternoon session every other day. Co-owners Helen Glenn, of Bremerton, and Jill Porter, of Issaquah, sold the property to the American Classic Homes developer last year. "This prompted our retirement," Glenn said. Glenn and Porter opened the Sammamish Learning Center in 1995 after buying and converting the house off of 29th Street. "We have just been so proud of everything we've accomplished," Glenn said. "A lot of the kids we've served have actually graduated from college." Most of the employees have been teaching since their own children were in the program.

And after 20 years of business, these woman are sad to see the school permanently close its doors at the end of the school year. "It's going to be tough," assistant director Louise Boothroyd said. Boothroyd, of Bellevue, has been working at the preschool for 16 years. "I've never had a bad day. I smile all the time," she said. Her daughter, Holly, attended the school when she was young. She's now attending a college in England. Parent Heather Krabbe, of Issaquah, has seen the benefits of the school reflected in her children.

"They just really help them get ready for the next stage of their life," she said. "It's been an amazing place for our children to grow into little people." The National Association for the Education of Young Children has accredited the school for the last 15 years. The association insures the students receive a high-quality program. Krabbe has seen the individual attention given to children and said the center does a great job of teaching youngsters and reinforcing concepts. "I'm sad to see them close," said Krabbe, who has a four-year-old son currently enrolled in the preschool. Krabbe's daughter,

now in kindergarten, attended last year. Krabbe, previously a kindergarten teacher in California, asked her local elementary school for preschool recommendations when her family moved to Washington. The Sammamish Learning Center was the only preschool recommended. "It really has been a great school," she said. While staff and current parents were aware this was the school's last year, the closure has not gotten a lot of publicity. The business will close after its alumni reunion, which is June 13 at 2 p.m. The house is located at 22629 S.E. 29th St. Megan Campbell: 425-391-0363, ext. 5054; mcampbell@issasquahreporter.com

Wife’s death promps Issaquah man to complete book BY JOSH STILTS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Richard Akutagawa has a simple message for all writers: "Do it, do it now, because you never know when you won't have now anymore." Akutagawa's real life has had enough drama in it to be its own novel, which is why he so often draws on it for moments in his fiction writing, especially in his first published book "Mirage in the Desert." Based loosely on the life of his motherin-law and her time as a teenager in an Arizona Japanese internment camp during World War II, Akutagawa masterfully captures the hope of an older child trying to find beauty as she transitions into adulthood in a horrible place. Next month the Issaquah resident will turn 70, a birthday he never thought he'd see 10 years ago. In May 2004 he was diagnosed with stage-four plus laryngeal cancer — essentially a death sentence — after years of heavy smoking. The cancer had spread to his lymph nodes and he was given just 45 days to live. But he wasn't about to go down without a fight and thanks to Dr. Audrey Tran, he avoided a tracheotomy and was able to beat

Richard Akutagawa draws on real life people and experiences for his characters and plots. the odds and cancer. The treatment and the chemotherapy took its toll on him, but Akutagawa had something to focus on: writing his novel. “After radiation and chemo the only thing keeping my mind focused and sharp was writing this book," he said. But it took another tragedy before he could get it published. In August 2014, Akutagawa's wife of

36 years, Jane M. Kato died, leaving him broken and alone. Melancholy and depression followed immediately. Thankfully, he said, it didn't last and he was able to use his wife's words and his writing to cope with the loss. Before she died, she told him, "Richard, you can't be fooling around with this book. Time is precious." The words were "heartbreaking" for him to hear, but in publishing his first book, Akutagawa said he hopes to honor the love of his life through his writing. "She was just a really cool person," he said tearfully. "Everyone said she was always the most pleasant person." As the organized one in the relationship, Jane would organize Richard's pills, his appointments and ensure he was eating properly. She'd also be a constant yet gentle reminder that he should be writing. In the months following her death, Richard set to work on the charge his wife had given him. Recreating her image, along with several other women he's known, admired and loved, Akutagawa created Kitty Kirei, "a teenager caught in the maelstrom of fear after the bombing of Pearl Harbor." Throughout her experiences in the Gila Internment Camp in Arizona, Kitty

meets three adults, combined personas of Akutagawa's most cherished people, who befriend Kitty and plan a daring escape. "She is a mirror who sees and reflects everything, a young lady who evolves into a woman in a tattered milieu, where all is topsy-turvy," he wrote of his character. "She discovers her broad talents and becomes aware of her large possibilities." The story is a gripping tale with artistic language that reads like an orchestral concerto. It's easy to identify his pain in his writing without being burdensome or overdone. It pulls at the heartstrings making it difficult to put down. Although self-published currently at $4,000 for editing and 116 copies printed, Akutagawa is working with Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon to carry his book. While the later years of his life have been difficult, he said he's grateful for what he's been given and the opportunity to share his writing with the world. "If I never had the cancer I might never have written anything of importance," he said. For more information about the book contact Richard at ctakagi@msn.com.

Four minutes stood between the Issaquah Eagles and Skyline Spartans in their quest to reach the Class 4A KingCo championship game. Skyline went on a 9-0 run to close out the fourth quarter, tying the game at 55-55 at the end of regulation. Issaquah (18-4) shook off Skyline's run and momentum in the four-minute overtime session, grinding out a 66-59 victory against Skyline (11-11) on Feb. 14 in the Class 4A KingCo semifinals at Redmond High School. Issaquah outscored Skyline 11-4 in the overtime period. Eagles guard Jason Crandall, who finished with 18 points, wasn't surprised to see his team get back on the track after faltering in the fourth quarter. "We just knew it when we came over to the sideline before overtime. We knew we were the better team. That is what our mentality was. Never for a second

Issaquah head coach Jason Griffith said he knew there was no way his team would lose after looking into the eyes of his players before they took the floor for the overtime period. "In my 15 years of coaching it was the most impressive thing I have seen from a team going into overtime. Every single one of those guys in the huddle looked at each other and said we're not losing this game," Griffith said. "The look on their faces, as coaches we knew we were not going to lose." Crandall will never forget seeing the Issaquah High School student body rush the court following the biggest win of the 2014-15 season to date. "This is the best feeling in the world. These fans have all this passion. Even more important than beating our rival is that we are one win away from the final 16 teams in the state. I think about that every single day and when I do I

Cougars close out Wolves in second half BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Bothell Cougars sophomore Taya Corosdale was unstoppable in the second round of the Class 4A KingCo playoffs against the Eastlake Wolves. Corosdale scored a game-high 30 points, guiding the Cougars to a 74-53 win against the Eastlake Wolves on Feb. 14 at Redmond High School. The Cougars bolted out to a 21-11 lead in the first quarter of play. Eastlake cut Bothell's lead to seven points (47-40) with 2:12 left in the third quarter, but wouldn't get any closer the rest of the way. Bothell head coach Kent Schaefer said the difference in the final 10 minutes of the game came down to executing defensively. "I felt like in the second half we played really good defense on every possession. They (Eastlake) have got three high quality scorers. We did a good job of keeping track of

get excited," Crandall said. "This is what you dream about when you're a kid. It's an amazing feeling." Skyline head coach Bill McIntyre said the gameplan was to make someone other than Issaquah senior guard Ty Gibson beat them. "Our defense had seemingly worked pretty well. Especially in the fourth quarter. We felt like we controlled Ty (Gibson) pretty well. The other guys on the team were the ones that scored in overtime so you have got to give Issaquah credit," McIntyre said. "We were determined to take Ty out of the game and they were determined to take Robert (Biegaj) out of the game. It kind of turned into a 4-on-4 game. We lost a four-minute game. It is tough to swallow but we've got to be able to move on." The Eagles faced the Woodinville Falcons in the Class 4A KingCo championship game on Feb. 19. Results were available after the Reporter's deadline.

Lake Washington named to AP District Honor Roll from rigorous AP course work. More than 90 percent of colleges and universities across the U.S. offer college credit, advanced placement or both for a score of 3 or higher on an AP Exam. Achieving that score may save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition. A total of 547 school districts across the U. S. and six Canadian provinces achieved honor roll status. Fourteen districts in the state of Washington achieved this honor. “As a district, we believe in preparing all

students for college level work,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. “Our high schools have made a concerted effort to encourage students to take on the challenge of AP coursework as part of that preparation.” The number of AP tests taken by LWSD

students increased from 2,825 in 2012 to 3,496 in 2014. At the same time, the rate of students achieving a score of 3 or higher dropped from 79 percent in 2012 to 76 percent in 2013, but returned to 79 percent in 2014.

Joint replacement isn’t a life saver. But it is a lifestyle saver.

If you’ve lived an active lifestyle and your hips or knees simply can’t keep up anymore, it may be time for a change. Come hear about the latest procedures at a free seminar at Swedish, where expert physicians perform thousands of joint-replacement surgeries each year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee replacement. Reserve your spot today. And in just two hours, you’ll learn how it could take only weeks to get you back in action.
