Bracing for busy fire season

Megan Campbell, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Sammamish Parks and Recreation Project Manager Sevda Baran looks on as construction crews assemble the piping for the future lazy river on the ground floor within the Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center. Baran walks the construction site, behind the Sammamish Library off of 228th Avenue, two or three times a day. The $33.8 million building is slated to open in the spring of 2016.

Grant could preserve skate park design BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Supporters of a new Issaquah city skate park may have a second chance at seeing their dream fully realized. On Monday, the Issaquah City Council sent a $75,000 county grant application to committee, clearing the way for a council vote on April 20.

Eastside Fire and Rescue responders expect an active fire season this year, as firefighters have already seen several wildfires in the Sammamish area during this winter’s most recent dry period. This winter has been a mix of persistent rain and long dry periods, which overall brings the Eastside area up to par for winter precipitation, according to the National Weather Service. But there’s a good chance precipitation will be lower than average this spring, Weather Service Meteorologist Chris Burke said. This could persist into summer. With this mind, Deputy Chief Bud Backer is already anticipating a busy fire season. SEE FIRE, 16

Nonprofit wins SAMMI for inspirational work Athletes for Kids has paired 600 high school athletes with special needs children BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Late one night, nearly 15 years ago, Liz Moscaret, of Sammamish, had an idea. She and her husband, Ken, would turn that idea into a reality within the next year, in 2002, when they co-founded Athletes for Kids at their kitchen table with two of their friends. The nonprofit began small but eventually developed into an organization that now works with seven high schools across four cities, including Sammamish, to pair high school athletes with children who have special needs.

“We’re about providing your kids with, not just a buddy to be their friend, but a role model, a mentor,” Ken Moscaret said. “What we hope we’re doing is planting the seeds for a life-long friendship.” KEN AND LIZ For the Moscaret’s perMOSCARET severance and dedicated work to bringing role models into many young lives, the nonprofit SAMMI Awards Foundation awarded the couple with the courage award at the EX3 Teen Center Saturday. The 14th annual SAMMI Awards recognized 11 honorees for their inspirational work in the community. The event showcased Sammamish residents, business owners, students and volunteers.

QingMing festival at Sunset Hills is April 4 QingMing is a traditional Chinese festival held each year during the month of April to pay respects to those who have died. It is also known as the Pure Brightness Festival or Tomb Sweeping Day. During this day, families come to local cemeteries to pay their respects by sweeping and cleaning burial plots and stones. The day is both a day of

happiness and sorrow for those who are gone. The festival is also a time for families to come together to be outdoors and celebrate the beginning of Spring. Qingming is one of the 24 solar terms in traditional Chinese culture, which refers to Spring; the warming of weather and blooming of plants. QingMing is celebrated each year at Sunset Hills

The Sammamish Arts Commission will present the work of regional artist, Amanda Devine in an exhibit titled “Moments — Art in Response to Time and Place.” The exhibit is a 40-year survey of her work and will be on view in the Commons Gallery of Sammamish City Hall from April 10 through July 10, 2015. Amanda Devine began

Friday, March 27, 2015

her art-making journey in the 1970’s, as a painter. Photography, Japanese papermaking and digital technology have been incorporated over time. Her work begins with the little things that speak to her; a twig or stones or patterns of wind and water. “My fascination with processes and materials, combined with the joy I find in making things, leads to creation of a new and surprising something,” Devine said. “This exhibit provides a wonderful opportunity to follow the path and inspiration of an artist as their career evolves. Amanda’s work is calm and question-

ing, intriguing and insightful,” states Arts Commission member and curator Barbara Jirsa. The exhibition is sponsored by the Sammamish Arts Commission, the City of Sammamish and 4Culture. The Sammamish Arts Commission offers a yearround series of exhibitions in the City Hall Commons Gallery with a primary focus on regional artists.

An artist’s reception will be held in the gallery between 6 and 8 p.m., April 23.The event is free and open to the public.

Summ Yeah! I’m going to summer camp. On a chilly day like today, it’s hard to believe that the warm weather will be back in a few short weeks. Summer is just around the corner, and it will soon be time for your children to go off to summer camp or to day camp. Have you started thinking about what you’d like them to do? You’d better get busy, because now is the time to register if you want those earlybird prices.

Special camps

First of all, find out from your children exactly what

e d i u G r Camp

they have in mind when they think about going to camp. Of course, traditional camps are always available; they are ideal for children who love a bit of everything. Other camps are more specialized, and some offer activities that are really off the beaten path. Think about the following possibilities: sports, outdoor activities, dance, martial arts, sciences, languages, performing arts, visual arts, music, cooking, archeology, soccer, horse riding, deep-sea diving, circus, and the list goes on.

Formulas

The next step is to find out if your children are ready to go to sleep-away camp, where they can stay for a week or more, or if they prefer day camp, so they can

come home every night. Some specialized camps welcome families or special-needs children who might have disabilities, be ill, or require specialized care.

Benefits

When your children have made their choices and are registered, give yourself a pat on the back. Attending summer camp—with all its challenges, experiences, and learning opportunities—will have a positive effect on your children’s development. Children who attend camp develop their socializing skills, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, physical abilities, and environmental awareness.

e d i u G r Camp

Summ For budding horseback riders

Are you looking for something unique for your children to do this summer? An outdoors activity, where they’ll get lots of fresh air and exercise but will also feel as if they’re on vacation? What you need is an equestrian camp. Your children are sure to love riding camp, whether they’re beginner or expert riders. Generally speaking, these camps are accessible to children of all levels of skill and experience. Children are assessed and placed into small groups that take into account riding ability and age, and mandatory riding helmets help assure the safety of all campers, no matter how experienced they are.

Varied activities

At riding camp, some or all of the following activities will keep your children busy throughout the day:

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2015 | PAGE 5

riding lessons, equestrian techniques, learning to care for and prepare horses, games, trail rides, and complementary outdoor activities. Some establishments even organize an equestrian show at the end of the camp.

Practice and theory

An introduction to riding includes a bit of theoretical knowledge (anatomy, colors and markings, disciplines, shoeing, reproduction, and breeds) as well as riding basics and care (diet, vital signs, bandages, veterinary care, feeding, and grooming).

At riding camp, children can learn more about the behavior of horses, how to groom them, clean their shoes, saddle them, and ride them while improving their sense of balance. Best of all, children develop a meaningful partnership with the horse, a relationship that builds self-esteem and determination.

Safer swimmers start in the lab.

The Moscaret’s story was an easy choice, SAMMI Awards Executive Director Cynthia Baumert said. The couple has first-hand experience with children who have special needs and the isolating effect it can have on a family. The couple used this experience as

a springboard to launch Athletes for Kids, as a way to help other parents and families in similar situations. “They went so far beyond expectations to create a foundation,” Baumert said. Their program helps isolated children learn confidence; it also instills acceptance in high school athletes, Ken Moscaret said. Athletes for Kids has paired at least 600 high school athletes with special needs stu-

Police reports in Sammamish and Issaquah

Sammamish March 11 BOOM: Shortly after midnight, a resident in the 1900 block of 263rd Court Southeast reported someone had just blown something up in her backyard, which caused two of her back windows to break. It is likely someone tossed a sparkler bomb over the fence at the house.

March 13 SHOWER HEADS HURT: King County Sheriff ’s Office responded to an assault where a woman reportedly entered a residence in the 27000 block of Southeast 25 Place, threw a shower head at a male and struck him in the ear.

March 15 STUPID SHRUBS: A vehicle hit a small tree or shrubbery at the entrance of “Vintage” subdivision at the 23800 block of Southeast Eighth Street around 1 p.m. and fled from the scene. The driver was later identified.

dents in elementary and middle school over the last 13 years. “If you’re going to bring one friend into their life, you want it to be the one kid their peers will notice,” Moscaret said. “The reflected glory of these athletes reflects on their little buddies.” The program has had the strong support of Seattle Seahawks Vice President of Community Relations Mike Flood since the beginning. Flood has watched the program grow and stood next to the Moscarets on the Seahawks field when the couple accepted the spirit award for Athletes for Kids, once in 2005 and 2013. “It brings so much joy to kids,” he said. More than that, the program teaches students maturity and how to be better team members at a young age, he said. For Issaquah High School lacrosse player Jake Lindahl, mentoring his 8-year-old buddy has taught him patience. “It’s taught me how to really develop a relationship with someone,” Lindahl said. “I’m helping him, but he’s helping me. I enjoy it as much as he does.” Lindahl meets with his buddy, Diego Gardner-Garcia, every other weekend. Sometimes they go to the zoo; other times they play soccer in the park.

Issaquah March 19 BLOWFISH: City Parks maintenance workers found a leaf blower in the bushes at the fish hatchery on West Sunset Way. MALICIOUS MISCHIEF: Police found a damaged bus sign on the 100 block of West Sunset Way.

After a year and a half, Lindahl, 17, considers Gardner-Garcia family. “He’s a very special kid,” Lindahl said. Gardner-Garcia, who has down syndrome, was put on the waiting list as soon as his mother, Whitney Gardner, was told about the program several years ago. The program is very selective and is a serious time commitment. Most mentors spend about an hour once a week with their mentee, hanging out. Mentors are not tutors; they’re friends. “We can barely keep (Diego) in the car. As soon as he sees Jake, he’s out the car holding hands, off to do their activity,” Gardner said. Their relationship started off slow, getting to know each other. Once Gardner-Garcia felt comfortable with Lindahl, their friendship blossomed. “It’s a pretty simple but genuine relationship,” Whitney Gardner said. “Really they just laugh and have fun.” Ken Moscaret, Athletes for Kids board president, said many of the mentors and mentees keep in contact and their friendships continue into adulthood.

A FRIEND IN NEED: Eastside Fire and Rescue requested police assistance with traffic and crowd control at the site of a car fire in a parking lot on the 1400 block of Highlands Drive Northeast. HARASSMENT: An officer took a report of possible harassment at a location on the 1400 block of Northeast Katsura Street. The reporting party said she believed her ex’s girlfriend had her contact information and could give it to her ex.

March 18 WWII AMMUNITION: A resident came across some of his father’s WWII ammunition and brought it into the Sammamish Police Department for disposal. DANG IT, DOC: Someone forced their way into an apartment in the Boulder Creek Apartment complex in the 4400 block of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast while the resident was at a doctor’s appointment. IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED: By kicking in the front door, someone forced their way into a residence in the Boulder Creek Apartment complex in the 4400 block of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast. Before successfully entering, the subject had attempted to enter through the rear door. There was damage to the apartment, but nothing was reported missing.

Lawmakers walk the talk

ith the rapid technological advancements in the most recent years, it is undeniable that times have changed. Our society is evolving from the white picket fence days into the busy hustle and bustle we know to be today. Previous generations walked and biked to school every morning; it was a part of their daily routine as children. Nowadays, it is common for kids to be driven by a parent or take the bus on their own Morgan because they don’t have the infraKarbowski structure that allows them to make a healthier choice; the white picket fences are gone. Providing safe routes The legislators to school for children all around the state of Wash- welcomed us with ington will improve local open arms. children’s physicality and overall health. An increase in government funding will provide the necessary sidewalks, crosswalks and lighting to make those dark Pacific Northwest mornings safer for our students. Students will be given the opportunity to make a healthy choice to walk or ride their bike to school. It was these issues that Eastlake High School’s AP Government students got to travel to Olympia and speak directly with Representatives and Senators about on Tuesday, Feb. 3 on behalf of the American Heart Association. Throughout the day we met with specific legislators in their offices. The walls were marble and the carpets were flowery. Everything felt so official and professional. The legislators welcomed us, nervousness and all, with open arms. I felt they were genuinely interested in hearing what we had to say. The entire day was exhilarating and empowering albeit a bit intimidating.

Last chance for Klahanie annexation — vote YES

April 28, 2015 is our last chance for the Klahanie Annexation Area to become part of a City. The City of Sammamish has graciously stepped forward to put this election in front of the voters, so the long 34-year effort can end. It is our last chance to become a city. Neither cities will go through this process again, so this is our last chance. By voting yes on April 28th, we gain 6 police officers full time, 5 new police cars, maintenance of our internal road system, lower property taxes by between $40 and $70 a month depending on property values, This savings comes from the 85 percent of our King County taxes that stay in our city, instead of going out to other King County uses. Sammamish budgets right now $3 million for road improvements per year, while in 2014, King County spent $2 million in the entire county, Our streets will be swept, snow plowed, and kept up to city standards. Our Klahanie Park which King County wants to close, but still maintains, will be taken care of by the City park maintenance crews. It has been 34-years that we have not been part of a city, it is our turn now and it’s about time. There should be no opposition, because it makes sense. It is our time to shine.

WSDOT is not broke; needs money to improve traffic In your March 20 edition of the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter, Cecile Gernez of WASHPIRG took issue with the State’s plan for I-405: 3-person carpools, peak HOT-lane tolls of $10. Gernez states “The reason for these fees is that our Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is broke.” In fact if the writer had attended any of the Transportation Commission Public Hearings regarding the I-405 express toll lanes, the writer would have heard that the primary reason for the program was to improve traffic performance. Specifically, the lanes would “provide sustainable reliability, move more people and vehicles throughout the entire freeway, improve transit speed and reliability, and provide a bypass around congestion for the trips users feel are important.” As to the $10 maximum toll rate, it is projected to apply during peak hours on less than 10 percent of travel days. Regarding the question of WSDOT being broke, the State Transportation Package currently being negotiated in the State Legislature is indeed in danger of continuing the pattern of bonding too much. It would be better to do more pay-as-you-go rather than pay interest on bonds. There also should be a larger share of any gas tax increases going to city and county governments for maintenance of local roads.

Survey says residents happy with services BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The majority of Sammamish residents are pleased with their utility services and want to keep costs low, a recent survey showed. The city of Sammamish contracted with Elway Research Inc. to collect residents’ thoughts on basic service providers since the city’s garbage and recycling contracts expire at the end of 2016. The Seattle-based public opinion surveying organization contacted more than 450 randomly selected Sammamish residents by phone and online, as well as 20 commercial entities, in January and February. The majority of surveyors said they were unwilling to pay more for improved services, like being able to recycle more types of materials. Weighing the proposal of combining garbage, recycling and yard or food waste collection into a single-bill

service, more than half recognized the benefits of overall reduced customer costs and the benefit to the environment. More than half of the respondents also recognized forcing this on non-users was a significant downside. Sammamish City Council discussed the upcoming parameters of its 2017 solid waste contract during the Committee of the Whole meeting at city hall Monday evening. Council agreed to keep garbage and recycling bundled and to offer food and yard waste pick-up as an add-on option, as it is now. About two-thirds of the residents surveyed said they were not likely to use weekly yard and food waste collection services if it were offered in the winter months. The current solid waste contract provides organic pick-up every other week December through February. In line with that, the council agreed to retain the current system. City staff will still ask contractors to include the

Calendar

prices for providing every-other-week and weekly services during the winter. The city contracts two garbage pickup providers, Waste Management Inc. and Republic Services Inc. Waste Management serves the residents north of Northeast Eighth Street and Inglewood Hill Road. Republic Services pick up waste in the southern portion of the city, south of Northeast Eighth Street and Inglewood Hill Road. Ninety percent of Sammamish residents who participated in the survey are Comcast customers; more than 60 percent of them thought Comcast services are too high. Comcast last had a contract with the city in 2004. The cable portion of the survey was not discussed at the council meeting, Monday. Staff wanted to ensure adequate attention was given to the discussion; the cable services discussion has yet to be determined.

Sammamish breaks even with county recycling average Sammamish ranks lower than Bellevue and Redmond’s recycling rates, but breaks even with the county’s average, according to King County 2014 data. King County’s recycling average is 57 percent. The average county customer, excluding Seattle, tosses 24 pounds of garbage out each week. Sammamish residents get rid of an average of 26 pounds of garbage each week. Issaquah, trailing behind Sammamish, has a recycling rate of 56 percent and tosses 21 pounds of garbage per customer each week. Bellevue leads with a recycling rate of 65 percent. Redmond’s rate is at 60 percent. The county’s target recycling rate is 70 percent by 2020, which is key in preserving the life of the Cedar Hills Landfill. Sammamish, like many King County cities, dispose its garbage in the landfill. Cedar Hills, which is forecasted to hit its limit in 15 years, is the most cost-efficient means of disposing garbage. These recycling rate calculations factor in organic disposal. This information was provided by the city of Sammamish and King County.

Eagles pass test against Vikings

Crusaders cruise against Cleveland Justin Armbruester tosses a perfect game in his first varsity start on hill BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastside Catholic Crusaders sophomore pitcher Justin Armbruester was in the zone against the Cleveland Eagles in a battle between Class 3A Metro baseball teams. Armbruester, who made his first varsity start of his high school career, unveiled a perfect game in Eastside Catholic’s 14-0 victory against Cleveland in five innings on March 20 in Sammamish. Armbruester struck out six Cleveland batters and didn’t surrender a single hit or commit a walk in the 15 batters he faced. Seven of Cleveland’s outs came on ground balls.

Larsen was proud of Armbruester for rising to the occasion in his first opportunity to compete on the varsity squad. “It was very impressive. He had been practicing with the JV and he came up and did a fantastic job. He was on all day and he threw strikes. The defense backed him up well too. It was a really cool day for him,” Larsen said. Armbruester said Larsen played a pivotal role in calming his nerves before the contest began. “I just threw strikes and let them hit the ball. I threw mostly fastballs. I don’t think I threw anything off-speed since the first inning,” Armbruester said. “I was kind of nervous before the game because I have always been on JV but Kyle told me to just throw strikes and to do my best.” The perfect game was in doubt with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. Cleveland’s AJ Freeman made contact a ground ball to Armbruester. Armbruester bobbled the ball before tossing the throw across the field to first base for the final out of the game. “When it hit my knee I was thinking uh oh, but I just trusted my mechanics and threw it over to first (base),” he said. The Crusaders offense pounded out 12 hits against the Eagles. Eastside Catholic (2-1) scored four runs in the bottom of the second and five runs in the bottom of the third to put the game away. Larsen was pleased with his team’s overall performance. “Like we told the guys before the game, we can’t worry about the score. We just have to continue getting better,” Larsen said. “We came out and we played well today. Our starters put the ball in play and we ran the bases really well. We did what we were supposed to do.”

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question. The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm. And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

portunity to impact actual laws and bills. “It will be interesting to see if they pass in the House now,” said Eastlake senior Jordan Webber. Certainly this occasion was unlike any other. As our AP Government class was learning how a bill becomes a law and the difference amongst all of the committees work-

ing on the bills, a few of my lucky classmates got a unique experience. “I [and my group] got to see the Senate converse while waiting for a meeting to start which was really cool,” said Eastlake senior Ally Crinklaw. My favorite moment was meeting the Senator from my own district, Andy Hill, to discuss the

importance of Safe Routes to School. We learned that he had always been involved in his community, but after having survived cancer, decided he wanted to make tangible differences and ran for the state Senate. His story really spoke to me, and to be able to directly address him, I was elated and honored.

This opportunity was nerve racking yet eyeopening. I love that we, just average students from a local high school, were able to voice our opinions and make a difference in our communities.

FIRE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“When the conditions are right, it doesn’t take much of a spark,” Backer said. The largest fire of the year so far burned about 1.5 acres in the 25000 block of Northeast Ninth Street at 2:48 p.m., on March 4. No one was hurt. Responders reported seeing 4-foot flames. The fire was contained by dusk, but crews returned

March 5 to finish the mop up to keep an eye out for any smoldering trees or hot spots. The King County Sheriff ’s Office is still investigating the cause of the fire, but authorities suspect fireworks were in play. Three fire engines, two brush engines, an allterrain vehicle and an air rehabilitation unit, among others, responded to the March 4 fire. The other fires also occurred during the last

dry period, which was an 11-day stretch between Feb. 28 and March 10. There was a fire near East Lake Sammamish Parkway and Southeast 43rd Way, and another two on Highway 18 between State Route 167 and Interstate 5, Backer said. Backer reminds people of burn regulations and basic safety precautions. Simple preventative steps, like keeping a bucket of water handy or having a plan to put out a fire, are

some of the easiest ways to stop a fire from getting out of control before it can. He also cautions against tossing cigarettes out the window. Burning season ends in June.

PARK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

In September 2013, the city council allocated $350,000 to construct a new skate park in Tibbetts Valley Park. But a design for the park presented last summer was determined to be too expensive by city staff. Mayor Butler’s recommended budget included further funding for the project, but additional funds were not approved.

Despite testimony from the Issaquah Drug Free Community Coalition earlier this year, city spokespeople said the city would continue to pursue a reduced design. If the 2015 King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant is ultimately approved, it would allow the city to pursue a greater design but would delay construction by one year, to 2016.

Queen of costumes

What’s Inside

In the Paciﬁc Northwest, some of the people who create the boldest stage magic are not the ones we actually see on stage. Meet Teatro ZinZanni’s “Contessa DeLuxe,” Louise DiLenge. DiLenge oversees the dinner theater’s stunning costumes — a unique challenge, considering that the audience sits mere inches away from the singers, aerialists, dancers, drag queens and actors who star in the show. DiLenge talked about her love affair with rhinestones, her more than 40 years in the theater world and everything she’s learned from drag queens.

Behind the scenes of No Way to Treat a Lady The Eastside Scene goes behind the scenes of Village Theatre’s latest musical comedy, based on the Boston Strangler murders.

Finish this sentence: All Teatro ZinZanni costumes have ...? Big personalities; the devil is in the details. Also, they all typically have at least half a dozen hours of work behind them. If it were a normal theater setting, we’d still make our costumes big and bold, but they wouldn’t necessarily require that extra layer. I have an affinity for lace, fine fabrics, rhinestones and jewels. From ballerinas to drag queens, what are the considerations that go into working with different body types and abilities? I always say that costume design is part psychology, part skill. When I meet a person, it doesn’t matter what shape they are. What matters is getting to know them on the inside. Let’s talk about drag queens -- specifically, ZinZanni’s incredibly genderbending Kevin Kent. For our current show, Kevin decided it was time to size up, so we had to build him some new bosoms. I like to joke that Kevin’s body was engineered by Boeing; there’s definitely a secret construction that goes on. Walk me through the process of what you do to prepare for a performance. It depends on who’s in the cast; what the storyline is. I work from what I call clues: “What’s this person’s character? Are they going to somehow transform onstage? Is this character smart or funny?

What’s the most personal thing in your office? Definitely my two French bulldogs, who are currently snoring under my desk. What’s a typical day for you at work? There is no typical day for me. Today, I cleaned my desk, then started planning for the next show. During a build, I typically do a lot of crafting; sometimes I’ll take an old head piece and reinvent it. Sometimes I stay home and sketch. Sometimes I go shopping; which sounds like it might be easy, but shopping for fabrics can be really exhausting. Sounds like a nice variety. I couldn’t this job for so long, or again and again if it wasn’t fun; the variety is definitely what keeps it fresh.

Eating Well

Spring Asparagus Fresh spring asparagus is in the market! Oh, so many options to prepare it. I love the simple presentation of a bundle of roasted asparagus, topped with a freshly poached egg, and garnished with sea salt, black pepper and a bit or freshly slivered Parmesan cheese. This is a versatile dish, which can serve as a brunch entrée or an elegant appetizer for dinner. Choose asparagus that is spring green, ﬁrm and heavy for its size, no wrinkles or brown spots. And the tips should be ﬁrm with the buds closed. Either thin or thick stalks are good, which ever you prefer. You may want to pare thick stalks to make them more tender. To store asparagus, trim about an inch from the bottom and stand the bunch in a glass of cold water. Cover with the plastic produce bag and refrigerate for up to a couple of days. When it’s time to cook, snap the bottom of each stalk off and discard (this is the woody part). Trim up the edge and you’re ready to go. I think poached eggs are often overlooked, and can provide a very elegant appetizer, or brunch entrée, when they top roasted asparagus. It is a showcase for spring, the beautiful bright green of the vegetable, and the yellow or the silky, rich egg yolk.

Roasted Asparagus with Poached Eggs

Bringing it all together:

What you’ll need:

Top each asparagus bundle with a poached egg; garnish with Parmesan and black pepper. Serve warm. Serves 6 to 8.

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed 1 tablespoon olive oil 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt 6 to 8 eggs at room temperature, as fresh as possible 1 tablespoon white vinegar freshly grated or slivered Parmesan, for garnish freshly ground black pepper

Preparing the asparagus:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spread asparagus on a sheet pan; toss with the olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Roast until asparagus is bright green and blisters begin to appear on the sides of the stalks. Remove from the oven and arrange in bundles on warm serving plates; one bundle for each of the eggs. Keep warm.

Preparing the eggs*:

Fill a large sauté pan with water to a depth of about 1-1/2 inches. Add the vinegar to help firm the white; heat water to simmer, maintain over low heat. (Simmer temperature is 180°F, a few bubbles, but NOT a rolling boil.) Break one egg carefully into a 1⁄2 cup dry measuring cup, or a tea cup. Gently slide the egg from the cup into the simmering water. Never let the water get hot enough to jiggle the eggs, but keep it at a simmer, 180°F. Cook the egg for 3 minutes. The white should be set and the yolk still soft to the touch. Cook longer for harder yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain. Trim any white tails.

Whirlpools: Not just for key parties If you’re only poaching one or two eggs at a time, stir the water and vinegar in your pot in one direction until a small whirlpool forms. Immediately crack your eggs into the center of the whirlpool. The centrifugal motion of the water will prevent the egg white from spreading out. Look, don’t touch There are times when its best to step back and just let things run their course. Poking and prodding your eggs while they cook will only compromise the integrity of the whites and yolk. Leave well enough alone. Ice, ice baby Generally, you’ll want to serve poached eggs fresh. But to keep them for later, immediately transfer them from the pot to an ice bath. -Daniel Nash

A NEW WAY TO HAVE FUN

Beautiful View

The indispensable arts

I’m

honored to serve as the inaugural author for a column about the arts on the Eastside. Over the coming months arts leaders will write in this space about their work and their challenges, and I hope that, together, we can shine a light on the developing cultural life of our beautiful and energetic region. Watch this space! I expect that some of us will talk about the great programs we’re creating for you and your families, and about the importance of arts education, or the unique role the arts play in a community as diverse as ours. And sometimes we’ll talk about the hard work of funding our programs, or tell you about the positive economic impacts our organizations are making. But before we get to the specifics, before we tell you about our museums and theatres and dance companies and galleries, and our economic impact, and the number of kids we serve - before any of that - I want to start with a fundamental, enduring truth that’s too often lost in the details. First thing first: The arts are indispensable. The overriding value of the arts won’t be found in economic impact or municipal pride. Nor even in arts education or cool performances and exhibitions. The arts don’t just leverage a range of virtuous outcomes. The arts are inherently good. Arts are humanity’s oldest invention and they’re still the best evidence of our shared humanity. Cave paintings came before the wheel, after all. The arts can provide us as individuals with everything from light entertainment to an unforgettable, transcendent … even spiritual experience. They provide

us collectively with the means to reach across language, nationality, religion, class, age, race, and every other factor that might separate us, toward those things that are common and human and beautiful in all of us. As my old friend, Ben Cameron at the Doris Duke Foundation, said, “our plays and poetry, our music and dance are the family photos of the human race, the thing we grab as we run out of a burning house.” This truth is central to our work: the arts matter in human lives. Like religion, their value isn’t merely utilitarian. And like the Earth we live upon, the arts are both our shared inheritance and the legacy we will leave our children. It’s up to all of us to support and enjoy and advance them. Although my arts colleagues, writing here in weeks to come, work in a variety of disciplines, we’re all in the same business. Not the Concert Business, or the Museum Business, or the Dance Business. We’re all in the Civilization Business. A great community needs good jobs, to be sure, and schools, health care, transportation, and housing, but unless we also ensure a vibrant and accessible cultural life, we risk providing a comfortable existence that leaves our hard-won humanity in the dust. John Haynes is Executive Director and CEO of Performing Arts Center Eastside/ Tateuchi Center, a 2,000-seat, regional project being developed in downtown Bellevue. He served previously as President of the California Center for the Arts, Director of Performing Arts at the University of Notre Dame, and President of the Western Alliance of Arts Administrators.

Mercer Island’s coming Center for the Arts A planned Center for the Arts on Mercer Island will be a gathering space for the community to celebrate its past, present and future. MICA is projecting ground breaking in 2016 and a grand opening in 2018. Companies led by Islanders Lesley Bain and Owen Richards were hired to design the 23,000-square-foot venue. Both come packaged with considerable resumes: Richards has worked on Chihuly Garden and Glass at Seattle Center, the Evergreen State College Recital Hall, SIFF Film Center, and art installation design at the Olympic Sculpture Park. Before founding ORA, Richards was a principal at LMN Architects, serving as lead project architect on McCaw Hall, Mercer Arts Arena, Wenatchee Performing Arts Center and many other major cultural facilities. She has long been involved with the project, offering design assistance from the beginning. Meanwhile, Bain has done design and planning work for the Seattle Center, Cornish College of the Arts, City of Seattle Ofﬁce of Arts and Culture, and the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Conceptual drawings were recent-

ly released, with one including plans for how a Japanese roof structure recycled from a recently demolished Mercer Island mansion called the Coval house - will be installed in MICA’s grand lobby. “MICA is honored and so excited to be able to keep a unique part of Mercer Island history for the community and retain its beauty and integrity now and for years to come,” said MICA Executive Director Louise Kincaid. Kincaid previously worked for Issaquah’s highly successful Village Theatre. She, with a 15-member Board of Directors, will lead fundraising efforts for the center, which requires $20 million for operation. More than $4 million has been raised so far. Other drawings focus on how the venue will be integrated “with the surrounding green and open space and supplementing city activities such as the farmers market, Summer Celebration! and the Mostly Music in the Park,” Kincaid said. There are three major gathering places within the structure. Beyond the lobby-reception area, there is a 350-seat mainstage and a smaller 100-seat ‘black box’ theater. MICA will be located on city-

owned land adjacent to the northwest corner of Mercerdale Park. It will open out to the park, bringing year-round energy and activity and conﬁrming Mercerdale as a focal point for the town center. “We feel that this is one of those once in a lifetime opportunity,” said John Gordon Hill, MICA president. “It (MICA) will deﬁne cultural life here for decades. We feel we can make a difference with this.” The idea to have a space for the arts in the Town Center was spurred on by the closure of Youth Theatre Northwest’s old location to make room for a new elementary school. YTN is no longer taking the lead on the project but is expected to be a major tenant and user of the new facility. “MICA will transform the Mercerdale Park into a year-round community asset, bring new vibrancy to its surroundings and the life of the Island,” the release states. “The integration of the park and the welcoming interior spaces is critical to the project success, creating places where people will share community celebrations, all kinds of cultural activities and quiet conversations.” - Katie Metzger

What its creators say the MICA will be: • A multi-theater venue for plays, dance, concerts, recitals, lectures, films, and all forms of performing art. • A home for Youth Theatre Northwest and the thousands of children it serves. • A place for making, exhibiting, and celebrating the visual arts.

• A cultural gathering place for Mercer Island and the region. • A key amenity not just for children and families, but for seniors and all adults as well. • A focal point and economic driver for the Town Center. Source: www.mercerislandarts.org

Many theater-appreciators can appreciate the final product with something resembling an insider’s knowledge--noting the pitch with which an actor sings a beloved musical number, the seamlessness of a transition or the craftsmanship of a set. But few can comprehend the clockwork universe that powers the success--or failure--of a play. It’s the day of final rehearsal on Village Theatre’s No Way To Treat A Lady--two days from curtains up--and Master Stage Carpenter Stacey Garrett is showing me the light screen that anchors the set together. Garrett’s a young woman, but already someone who could be referred to as a lifer: She’s been involved with theater since she was 9 and her resume includes President Obama’s 2008 inaugural ball. “I was a high energy kid and it made for a good outlet,” she says. She’s showing me the light screen and it’s two stories high and about as wide, curving almost seamlessly into the floor. The screen was a set feature that had been touted by Village Theatre’s communications manager when we had spoken the prior week. On our tour, Garrett downplayed it as a straightforward method of turning lighting into a setpiece but acknowledged that it had been a feat to set the fabric smoothly for even distribution of light. As she described the mounting process I found myself looking agape at this blank behemoth, looking up-up-up to where it hanged. Nestled in front of it were layers upon layers of backdrops ready to descend upon the stage at a moment’s notice. Similar foreground setpieces--vertigo-inducing and cartoonish forced perspective designs by Bill Forrester--laid in wait to the sides, mounted on rails that were themselves connected to a single desktop off stage left, their movement speed and final position meticulously preprogrammed to

Director Steve Tomkins’ blocking directions so that they could be moved by an operator’s button push on cue. The prop set pieces--the chairs, desks, tables and the like which the actors actually interact with--would require good old-fashioned muscle. During a live show or A-to-Z runthrough, crew have to load the furniture onto sleds in ready position for the scene. Some of these items (as in the case of one couch made by the props department just for this show) weigh hundreds of pounds. Once mounted and adjusted just so, they’re zoomed out to center stage by a rope and pulley system known as the fly rail. Unseen by the audience, these ropes line an entire wall off stage right. Garrett estimates she spends “99.9 percent of the show” standing at the fly rail. She spends so much of her time pushing, pulling and bending that she wears wrist braces to prevent an injury. “I had a baby eight months ago and now all the extra weight is gone. Gone, just from work,” she says. “It’s a fun job, it’s challenging to your body and your mind, and you make the best friends of your life.” The crew are preparing to begin tech tweaks--last minute tuneups to the show’s transitions, lighting, props and the like--and soon Garrett hands me off to Iveson, the theater’s associate production manager. Today, Production Manager Jay Markham is out and Iveson’s filling in, overseeing prep and standing by to answer questions or solve problems. She’s worked in her current position for two years and began with Village two years before that, working her way up from the box office. On stage, actors Nick DeSantis and Bobbi Kotula are working through one of their many murder scenes together in the show (Kotula plays all of the victims of DeSantis’ serial killer Kit Gill). They’re both wearing their street clothes, but DeSantis’ character seems to be masquer-

ading as a Latin dancer, Ramon, to gain trust for the kill. “OK, guys, I want to work on Ramon’s entrance,” Tomkins shouts as he stands up from his seat in the theater. “Right now it’s too quick and I want you to draw it out. More like: ‘Good evening...’ stepstep-step inside, ‘...I am…’ then Bobbi shuts the door, then Nick you finish with ‘...Ramon!’ It punctuates the joke.” Iveson explains that she’s keeping an eye on the run sheet. She says a production’s crew live and die by this form that breaks down every entrance, scene change, prop movement or other action in the show minute-by-minute. Backstage, Garrett had shown me how she kept hers in a holster on her hip. The production team is also keeping close contact with stage play author Douglas J. Cohen, who has been in Issaquah periodically throughout preproduction. Cohen published the show book--an adaptation of the movie, which was itself an adaptation of the William Goldman novel, itself inspired by the Boston Strangler murders--in the late 1980s, but in the long-development world of the stage it’s still considered a “new” show. Iveson says the production team has already reached out to Cohen once about rewriting a small portion of the show to make the segment work better on their stage. Like Garrett, Iveson says the job is equal parts exhausting and rewarding. As an example, she points to the ritual of tech notes after a show has finished for the night. “They make for my favorite moments of a production,” she says. “We’re all exhausted, we’ve been here 14 or 12 hours already and we have to be here at 11:30 at night to figure out what needs to be changed. What didn’t quite work tonight?” The actors are taking a quick break and Tomkins has taken someone from props aside to talk about what type of lighter might work better for a gag late in the

show. He wonders aloud if butane might make the joke work better. The actors return, and this time heroic lead Dane Stokinger, love interest Jessica Skerritt, DeSantis and Kotula are all gathered for the musical number “The First Move.” More speciﬁcally, they’re gathered so Stokinger and DeSantis can repeat one line of one verse of the song while the lighting team tests different color transitions. They go on, again. Blue light. And again. More yellow. And again. Darker blue. Soon they move on to another bitesized portion of another song, somewhere else entirely in the show. It suddenly strikes me what it really is that separates the theater layman from the theater professional: Time. Any average joe can memorize a script cover-to-cover given enough time, as long as they only have to move from beginning to end. But theater professionals, actors and crew alike, have to memorize a show so completely that the order of time becomes irrelevant--so that they can jump to any individual moment in any order without missing a beat, as if they’re living a version of the story played out in the style of Slaughterhouse Five. And even then, each player only really knows their own part, trusting that each individual piece will come together to form the whole. Every person like a blindfolded soldier, dissembling, cleaning and reassembling their service pistol without the beneﬁt of sight. I share my thought with Iveson and she agrees. “That’s an interesting way of thinking about it, but I guess that’s true,” she says. “The crew, especially. They’re back there every night, making sure the show runs smoothly and everything’s hitting their cue. Their job is to make the show, but they’ll never see it from the audience’s perspective.” -Daniel Nash

Conversations with Funny People

Mick Foley: Hell to Tell Mick Foley has lost a lot of things throughout his career — like his ear, his two front teeth and, some would say, his mind. However, the wrestling legend has gained a lifetime of stories that, in his life after the ring, he’s been able to leverage into a career in comedy. “I move pretty slowly these days but I am cat-like on stage,” Foley joked during a phone interview from his hotel room in Ontario, Canada. And while the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Famer is known in the wrestling world as “The Hardcore Legend,” he is a multitalented individual with five New York Times best selling books to his credit and an active involvement with charitable organizations. His first best-selling book, “Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood, Sweat and Socks,” was released in 1999 and brought wrestling into the mainstream in an entirely new way. “I get lumped in with guys like The Rock, Hulk Hogan and (Rowdy Roddy) Piper when credit is given but honestly I was not as big of a star as most of the people in that crowd,” he said. “I think I get plenty of recognition for [helping to bring wrestling into the mainstream]. And I didn’t accomplish what they did.” His current gig as a standup comic shares many of the same aspects he loved about wrestling, like being creative as an entertainer and connecting with an audience. “It’s like being inside a ring without the obvious physical price you pay the morning after,” said Foley, who still drives from show to show and will head to San Jose after the Parlor. “I don’t brag about them much but [my shows] will greatly exceed people’s expectations. While it is frustrating on one hand for people not to know it is going to be a good show, it is flattering when they walk out going ‘that was so much better than I expected it to be.’” Foley said that his show this time around will be very different from the one he did more than a year ago at the

Parlor because he has 15 months of work behind him. “I am never at a loss for stories and I have had a chance to really work on them,” said Foley, who admits that he was one of the most unlikely WWE champions of all time, a title he held on three occasions. He said that standup is also like wrestling in that he has to be able to read his audience. “You have to be able to adapt to the audience in the ring and on the stage,” Foley said. “You have to be able to edit the material in your head.” Foley has had some overzealous fans attend his shows. He said that he doesn’t really get hecklers but fans will try to impress him by trying to finish his stories for him. Instead of firing back to try and get a laugh and unwittingly encouraging them to continue, Foley said he “calmly but firmly put them into a place so they feel bad about themselves.” “People think they are your friend because you come into their living room once a week,” Foley said. “But you learn to accept it. I don’t think people understand how beloved wrestlers are by their fans. It is amazing.” He said that he hasn’t had as much of a problem with comedy club booking agents as he did in wrestling, where they are not known for being the most honest of people. “I think I only had one time when a check bounced. This world is a lot more trustworthy,” Foley said. “It is more like working for [WWE chairman] Vince McMahon. His checks are always good.” The man who was once best known for being thrown off a 20-foot high steel cage called “Hell in a Cell,” also has a degree in communications. When he got into wrestling he gave himself until the age of 26 to make headway in the industry. “I think my degree gave me a good sense of how to tell a story,” Foley said.
