Nightmare at Beaver Lake kicked off its 12th annual haunted park Oct. 16 and will run, Thursday through Sunday, through Halloween, Oct. 31. Shrieks could be heard last week as attendees walked through 33 sets, including a butcher’s lair (as shown), carving up a screaming woman. The Rotary Club of Sammamish and Scare Productions puts on the event and, after covering costs, proceeds are donated to charity. The family scare, a milder haunted park route, will be from 7-7:45 p.m. Tickets during the family scare are $12 per person. Full scare begins at 8 p.m. Tickets for full scare costs $18 per person.

An ongoing public and legal battle between the Issaquah Senior Center and its ousted members spilled into the Issaquah City Council’s budget discussions Monday night. Early in 2015, the senior center trespassed Regina Poirier and former board member David Waggoner for alleged elder abuse and harassment. Both have said repeatedly in public meetings and comments to the media that no formal elder abuse investigation has taken place and that they were actually banished for asking questions about the center’s finances. They are now pursuing a defamation lawsuit against the center’s board of directors and Executive Director Courtney Jaren, stemming from a statement in the July senior newsletter that “a group of seniors bull[ied] a vulnerable senior to death.” “Frankly, I feel I am a victim of elder abuse,” Poirier told the Issaquah City Council Monday. “As a citizen, I

Senior center funding in question
Earlier this month, citizens submitted nearly 40 questions for the candidates during the Sammamish City Council candidate forum Oct. 7. There was not enough time to answer every citizen question, which is why the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter reached out to the candidates, asking them to submit their answers via email. Due to space constraints, the Reporter limited candidates to 50-word responses for five of the 36 questions. However, candidates were given the option to answer more. Those questions and responses are available online, at www.issaquahreporter.com.
The candidates Christie Malchow and Mark Cross are competing for Councilmember Nancy Whitten’s open seat in Position 2.
Tom Hornish is challenging Mayor Tom Vance’s seat on the council. This position, No. 6, is not for the mayorship. The city has a council-city manager form of government. The council selects its mayor, which is largely a ceremonial role. Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo is essentially running unopposed for Position 4. His opponent dropped out of the race in July; however, Hank Klein’s name still will appear next to Valderrama-Aramayo’s on the ballot.
The residents’ questions:
Q:
If elected or re-elected to the council, how will you approach the prioritization of the many competing issues the council faces?
City council endorses Best Starts For Kids BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Issaquah City Council has thrown its support behind Best Starts For Kids in the general election. The council authorized its endorsement of a property tax levy supporting Best Starts by a 5-2 vote at its regular meeting Monday night. The King County program is an initiative to invest public funds in health prevention and intervention programs for children and young adults. King County Proposition 1, if approved by voters on Nov. 3, would instate a six-year property tax at a rate of 14 cents or less per $1,000 of assessed value, with allowances for the rate to increase up to 3 percent per year. Half of the funding would be dedicated to children 5 and younger and 35 percent to 5- to 24-year-olds. Ten percent would be used for community programs such as affordable housing and 5 percent would be used for data collection and analysis of all Best Starts programs. Barb de Michele, the program director of the Issaquah Schools Foundation’s Healthy Youth Initiative,

Tip-a-Cop event to Festival organizers set up clothing drive benefit Special Olympics BY MEGAN CAMPBELL
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Issaquah police will serve burgers and raise money for differently abled athletes this weekend. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Red Robin, officers from the Issaquah Police Department will serve food to the restaurant’s customers. Tips collected over the lunch rush will benefit Special Olympics Washington. The Issaquah Police Department and the Issaquah Red Robin are one of 39 Tip-a-Cop fundraisers benefitting Special Olympics Washington throughout the state. Since Issaquah police began participating in the fundraiser in the mid-'00s, officers have typically raised a minimum of $4,000 per year and occasionally raised considerably more, Cmdr. Chris Wilson said. "I really enjoy it because you can raise money for a great cause," Wilson said. "One thing that's cool is that a lot of times, [Special Olympics Washington has] been able to bring Special Olympians to the fund-

Special Olympics Washington was incorporated in 1975. The organization recruits athletes with intellectual disabilities and coaches for training year-round and competition in sporting events, including the World Winter Games and World Summer Games. Saturday’s fundraiser will include a raffle. Tickets are $1 and can be purchased from Red Robin. Red Robin is located at 1085 Lake Drive in Pickering Place.
A clothing drop-off site in Sammamish is collecting donations in preparation for the 2016 Hope Festival. The Redmond/Sammamish Teen Center is accepting new or gently used clothing on weekdays 1-6:30 p.m. through Nov. 6. These donations will go toward the February 2016 one-day event that serves more than 1,000 low-income families and individuals each year. “Families will walk away from the Hope Festival knowing they are cared for and that there are people to support them in their community,” according to one of the Hope Festival flyers. Held in Bellevue, the festival also provides food, children’s books and free services like a haircut or a chiropractic adjustment, according to Tyler Zangaglia, one of the event organizers and a sophomore at Eastlake High School. Zangaglia also helped run the previous festival in 2014. The other two organizers are Eastlake seniors Torrey Nielsen and Amy Stewart.
Additionally, about 200 volunteers contribute to the festival, from youth organizations to adult groups. The Hope Festival, which previously occurred in October, was formerly known as the Harvest Festival. Zangaglia said the name change “encompasses the feeling we hope our guests will feel after our event.” “The Hope Festival provides many of those in need in our community with supplies, as well as a positive SEE HOPE, 14

First grader publishes Amazon best-seller ‘The Cheese Stick and the Mountain’ has a secret door, tiger — and more BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In a breath, 6-year-old Emily Alexander explains the plot of her book: “She hikes up a mountain and then she goes in a door and then she sees a tiger and she tries to get …” That’s about where Alexander’s mom, Sara, cuts in, reminding her daughter not to give away the ending. Emily Alexander wrote and illustrated “The Cheese Stick and the Mountain,” which she self-published through CreateSpace, an Amazon company. The roughly 30-page book has been fluctuating in the Top 10 on Amazon’s Large Print Science Fiction/Fantasy bestseller list since its October release. The book’s main character is a cheese stick named Skyline, on an adventure. Alexander, a first grader at Creekside Elementary School, named her after her older brother’s high school. As for the species of character, that was all about taste. “I really like cheese sticks,” she said. Alexander is the youngest of three.

Six-year-old Emily Alexander holds the book she wrote, illustrated and published, “The Cheese Stick and the Mountain.” The book was released in October.
She, her brothers and parents have lived in Sammamish for more than three years. The Alexander family didn’t publish the book for the fame and fortune.
“This particular story just struck us as her voice,” Sara Alexander said. “For sure we were not expecting anyone else to buy it.” Emily’s parents just wanted to preserve it. They bought a copy for themselves and for the Creekside library. Now, her family boasts they’ve got a “best-selling author” in the house. “Who would have thought?” Sara Alexander said. “It’s such a great boost to her confidence.” And while Emily’s book has maintained a five-star rating in all seven online reviews, she was quick to say she really aspires to be a doctor. Still, at home she’s “constantly pulling paper out of the printer and drawing things,” Sara Alexander said. Sara Alexander said the “Little Critter” series, chapter books, along with her childhood favorite, the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series, spurred her daughter’s creativity. As for Skyline, the “plucky cheese stick,” not even Emily knows what’s in store for her after she takes on the mysteries that await behind the “secret” door on the mountainside. Perhaps an adventure set in the water, with an octopus. To find Alexander’s book online, visit www.amazon.com/Cheese-Stick-Mountain-Emily-Alexander/dp/1517680816.

said data from the 2014 Healthy Youth Survey showed Issaquah teens could benefit from Best Starts programs for combating depression and substance abuse. “Sixteen percent of students report high levels of anxiety or anxiety disorders, well above state averages,” she said. “You may be wondering if there’s something in Issaquah’s water that we have these kinds of results.” Council President Paul Winterstein said the programs would fulfill a “critical, essential need within the community” at an average cost of $85 a year for Issaquah homeowners. Councilor Joshua Schaer, who voted against endorsing the levy, said he questioned several elements of the program, including county language referring to “children aged 5 through 24.” “I think it’s going to pass because it’s called Best Starts For Kids,” he said. “You can’t vote against kids. I don’t think it would pass if it were called ‘Taxation with Somewhat of a Plan.’” Schaer also noted that residents of Issaquah would face several other possible tax increases in 2016, including the mayor’s recommended 1 percent property tax increase, utilities fee increases, a $500 million-plus Issaquah School District levy and a transportation package from the city. “It all adds up for homeowners in our community,” Schaer said.

An impartial resource
T
his past month, I as a Regional Publisher, have had the opportunity to both moderate and co-sponsor a number of candidate forums here on the Eastside. While each of the candidates came from different backgrounds and certainly held different perspectives on many important issues, there is common thread that unites them all- the desire to serve their community and to make it a better placeto live, work and play. We at the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter certainly applaud that ethos. Here at the Reporter, our ethos has been to better serve Issaquah and Sammamish by devoting greater time and effort toward getting to know each candidateand to educate our loyal readers about them. To ask the tough questions about the challenging issues thatthe new WILLIAM SHAW City Council will grapple withas the cities moves toward the future. Your vote is your right as an American. But we at the Reporter also strongly feel that with your vote comes the individual responsibility of increased k nowledge and information about the candidates and the issues they will face. We feel that with our mission to educate our readers about the candidates, we have a greater responsibilitynot to endorse, but to b e a valued and impartial resourcethat will empoweryour vote with knowledge.
To the editor Pendergrass a strong advocate
I’m writing as a former Lake Washington School Board member to strongly endorse the re-election of Jackie Pendergrass. Jackie has been, and will continue to be, an extraordinary advocate of the Lake Washington School District as president of the board. Jackie has worked hard to ensure the district is transparent and communicates well with parents and the community.

As one of the district implementers of governing by policy, Jackie has insured that the district focuses on its number one job: educating students. Along with incredible teachers, students, administrators and board colleagues, the district has increased SAT scores in all categories, 40 students were named National Merit Semifinalists, nearly half of its schools received Washington Achievement Awards, and nine out of 10 students from district high schools graduate on time with academic standards that are among the best in our state. Let’s keep someone on the job who has experience and incredible knowledge about student learning.

Pendergrass committed to kids
I have known Jackie Pendergrass for 25 years. She is a committed, selfless advocate for children, as evidenced by her many years of working as a school volunteer, PTSA leader, and 20 year Lake Washington School Board member. The district is very well managed, is fiscally sound and enjoys good working relationships with teachers and support staff. It takes dedication to work for 20 years to ensure students have a learning environment that encourages individual success. Jackie’s opponent is an attorney looking for a springboard to a political career. He has served on one district subcommittee, has no children in the district, and has not attended a single school board meeting. The choice to support Jackie Pendergrass for Lake Washington School Board is an easy one.
Mavis Goetsch, Sammamish
Ramos has skills city needs
I am endorsing city council candidate Bill Ramos for many reasons, but his years of work on major transportation projects tops the list. We have local needs that must be locally funded, but most problem areas are highly impacted by regional traffic and will require county, state and federal funding to mitigate impacts. The Talus developer significantly improved SR 900 and passed the costs onto the residents, but it is regional traffic avoiding I-405 that is taking much of the capacity. The Highlands developer spent millions on expansion of the Sunset Interchange and building Highlands Drive and the residents ended up paying the bill. The road is now serv-
ing much of the Sammamish Plateau and the Snoqualmie Valley. Bill knows that the City Council has responsibility for many aspects of our lives. His commitment to public safety — police, fire and aid — are unmatched. He recognizes how we treasure our parks, open space and trails. He understands how we have placed our future quality of life on the success of the Central Issaquah Plan and know he will support modification in a timely manner. Financially the city will have to raise some money to catch up on some local needs, but working with the region will be the key to make sure the region recognizes their need to pay for their impacts. Bill Ramos will be a tireless advocate for our city and deserves our support.
David Kappler, Issaquah
Hornish will work to solve problems
Most letters to the editor supporting candidates cite various problems or policy issues and imply that voting for their candidate will somehow magically solve them. That is not what this is about. This is about the character of the candidate — Tom Hornish, running for City Council Position 6. I have worked closely with Tom in an organization whose mission concerns Sammamish neighborhood issues. I can say without hesitation that Tom is intelligent — a clear and logical thinker, open minded and objective, skilled in working with people to solve problems, and motivated to achieve a better community. Tom comes with no biases or hidden agenda. He’s the kind of person who, regardless of the issue, will study the matter thoroughly, listen to the arguments from public and council, and seek the best possible solution. He firmly believes in limited government whose role is to serve the people. This is the kind of person we need on our City Council.

partisan message to the people of Sammamish? A boastful signal that local residents are now inescapably under the control of political agents with generous external funding, doing the bidding of undisclosed, non-resident persons? There is a strong smell of outside meddling in the affairs of Sammamish these days. As always, the old saying of “follow the money” applies: Who would benefit by controlling what Sammamish does with respect to its fire department/ services? For example, why are firefighters unions contributing so much to the dissidents in the municipal elections? Who should properly run the city of Sammamish, and for what purposes? Based on my own observations, it seems to me that the Vance/Cross ticket are the local team, and their challengers are “visitors” both in terms of funding and philosophy. So make your voting decisions carefully. Are you voting for your local government and benefit, or something further afield and perhaps not so well aligned with your interests?
us. As I drive through neighboring cities, such as Issaquah, Redmond and Bellevue, I find myself saying “This is not why we moved to Sammamish 13 years ago.” We citizens who treasure the “jewels” of our city, such as trees, open spaces, clear views of mountains and sunsets, homes with actual yards, roads that are able to move traffic at a reasonable pace, want city council members who are committed to finding balance in handling the inevitable development that comes in building a new city. Yet we want those elected members to always remember that their first responsibility is to “represent” we the citizens. The decisions that are to be made by the council and implemented by city staff need to be transparent and collaborative with the citizens. We want the same standards applied to all, regardless of who you know at City Hall. To make this happen I urge you to join me in voting for Tom Hornish, Christie Malchow, and Ramiro Valderrama for city council.

I have yet to meet a tea I didn’t like when it’s cold steeped—white, black, oolong, green, herbal—they are all great especially if infused slowly in the refrigerator. Use about a teaspoon of tea per cup in a large glass container and fill with filtered, room temperature water. Cover, then place in the refrigerator for six to eight hours. You don’t need to remove the tea leaves from the container—just use a strainer when you fill your glass.

Halloween is almost here, which means candyseeking witches and zombies will be flocking to your door. They’re not all that frightening, of course. But in the investment world, you do need to watch out for some seemingly scary types. For example, beware the Horrendous Headline. Whether it’s political squabbles at home or economic turmoil in the eurozone, you can always find potential calamities that could seemingly disrupt the financial markets. But the markets have been resilient, so look past the headlines – and keep JOE BILSBOROUGH FINANCIAL ADVISOR looking for appropriate investment opportunities. You also need to recognize the Terrible Tipster – someone who will steer you to “hot” investments that aren’t so hot. And don’t get alarmed by the Scary Statement. Your monthly investment statements can look bad when the market is down, but if you look back over many years, you might see a brighter picture. Upon closer inspection, the things that may appear frightening to investors aren’t so terrifying. By creating an appropriate strategy, and sticking with it, you can remove a lot of fear from investing.
The common cold catches all of us from time to time. Taking medications or supplements to prevent or treat cold symptoms does just that: they only address the symptoms. Instead of waiting to catch one, your best bet is to give your immune system a boost. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, vitamin C won’t prevent colds but may shorten the duration of symptoms. Zinc, on the other hand, may reduce the length and severity of a cold when taken within 24 hrs of the onset of secondary conditions; DR. BRIAN TIU research shows that taking vit C after the onset of symptoms doesn’t provide similar benefits. Other studies of subjects exposed to extreme exercise or cold revealed that vit C intake reduced the chance of catching a cold by 50 percent compared to 8 percent in the general population. Bottom Line: There is no cure for the common cold. Protect yourself by washing your hands frequently and getting enough sleep. Proper dosing for Zinc (50-100 mg daily) and vitamin C (1000 mg 3-4x daily).

The city has approved it for 115 high-density homes. We are faced with an important choice in this upcoming local election. We can re-elect the same council members who seem to reside in the deep pockets of the developers, or we can elect council members with backbone and integrity who are not afraid to stand up and protect the character of Sammamish, the environment, and our opinions. Because this election truly matters, I have studied the candidates closely. Ramiro Valderrama, Christie Malchow and Tom Hornish have earned my vote.

Retirement in Reverse: Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.” Americans are living longer. Home values are up. And for many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth. With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson. “You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Thompson. NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain
in their homes. “They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Thompson. FACT: In 1988 Pres- Although today’s HECM ident Reagan signed reverse mortgages have the FHA Reversebeen greatly improved Mortgage Bill. to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

*If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required.

Sammamish grandmother who drove SUV through home will remain in jail until sentencing, judge rules BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A King County judge ruled Oct. 15 that the Sammamish woman who drove through her lakefront home, killing two in 2014, will remain in jail until sentencing, Oct. 30. Last week Carol Fedigan, 69, landed back in King County Jail after violating her July release terms by consuming alcohol, according to court documents. Fedigan had been awaiting sentencing for two counts of vehicular homicide, one count of vehicular assault, driving under the influence and reckless endangerment, which she
plead guilty to July 30. Via a transdermal alcohol sensing device, 2 Watch Monitoring reported Fedigan consumed alcohol Oct. 5-7, with a peak blood alcohol content of 0.16 on Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. Judge John Chun last week denied "the defense's motion for release pending sentencing," Dan Donahoe of the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office wrote in an email. In May 2014, Fedigan mixed wine and the sleep aid Ambien before moving her SUV back into the driveway of her Lake Sammamish home, according to court documents. With her 3-year-old grandson in her lap,
Fedigan mistook the accelerator for the brake and drove straight through her home, killing her husband and son-in-law and seriously injuring her daughter, court documents read. Fedigan faces a minimum of four years and 10 months in prison, according to the county prosecuting attorney office. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Amy Freedheim is recommending a maximum sentence of six years and one month, according to the attorney’s office.

Growth, failed bond measures fuel LWSD board races BY TJ MARTINELL REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
Continuing student population growth and last year’s failed bond measures are playing a large role in the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors race that features a member of a district task force. Challenger Eric Laliberte is running against longtime incumbent Jackie Pendergrass representing
District 1, while Rob Tepper is challenging District 2 incumbent Christopher Carlson. Incumbent Siri Bliesner, representing District 5, is running unopposed. Pendergrass, serving her fifth term on the board, said that her focus has been ensuring that there are a wide range of programs available for students, as well as choice schools with smaller classroom sizes.

Position 6
SAMMAMISH
Hornish: This requires a shift in the mindset of the city manager and staff to make safety a higher priority. Council members cannot become directly involved with the issuance of permits, but we can certainly influence the implementation of our code, which requires strong leadership and clear communication — traits I have. Vance: I disagree with the premise. The public safety of our roads is a continuing priority and an on-going process. Most variances are about land use, not roads. In the one case this question references, the developer is suing the city because he is unhappy with the conditions of his permit.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Position 2 Mark Cross: My first priority will be transportation. We need to have the discussion with staff about scheduling the public meetings, hiring the design consultants, the bidding process and construction. By having this conversation early, the council and staff can understand the size of the challenge and plan to be successful. Christie Malchow: I think it’s important to ask for citizen input. The council’s prioritization may not align with citizen desires, and their input should be given weight to how the we proceed as a city. Finances have to be part of that conversation, as well as public safety in prioritization too.
Q:
Megan Campbell, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter
Candidates for the Sammamish City Council answered citizens’ questions at an Oct. 7 forum.
Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo: I would ask that all capital projects, including motorized and non-motorized transportation, parks, storm water and facilities, be included in the many projects on the city’s wish list. All projects should be on the budget, separated into needs and wants, as well as ranked and evaluated for return on investment.
that govern city operations: the 2017-2018 budget, public works standards, and begin implementing parks and transportation plans. With those scheduled, council can take on more priorities: urban forestry plan, sports fields, open space, better transit, and sustainable energy practices.
Q:
A comment was made earlier that “safe roads” are a priority for our current city representatives. However, variances that compromise road safety have been pushed through by our city planners. What would you do (if new to council) or what you commit to change (if an existing member) to end the unnecessary or unsafe variances?
Position 6 Tom Hornish: Safety must be the highest priority. After that, I’d seek input from citizens (with an open acknowledgment that many may have a bias toward a project that directly benefits them). Priority should be given to those projects addressing issues for all, or at least the greatest number, of our citizens. Tom Vance: First coordinate with staff to complete major policies and regulations
Position 2 Cross: The city codes on transportation variances need to be revised and narrowed so

Valderrama-Aramayo: I would ensure the city adheres to the current regulations and its spirit. Also, I would ensure that the citizens have a real voice (and potential veto) over new road projects that impact their neighborhoods via design neighborhood committees. This would also preserve the character of their neighborhoods.
Position 2 Cross: The first appeal of the permit was by council candidate Hornish. He appealed the stream protection requirements in the permit as did the county. I think the permit included 19 reasonable conditions that balanced private and public interests. The way forward is good design and balanced interests. Malchow: It’s troublesome that the county used the Burke-Gilman trail, and applied those usage numbers in Sammamish, to justify a width that has taken out so many SEE COUNCIL, 9

The Seattle Bike Blog says the Sammamish city development code requires that the county build a trail to American Association of State Highway and Transportation official guidelines.

trees. We need to compromise with the county to find balance with our citizens and the environmental impacts the paving created on Section 1.
Position 4 Valderrama-Aramayo: These are “guidelines” not “required.” DOT says “Flexibility is provided through ranges in design values to encourage facilities that are sensitive to local context.” It needs to ensure sensitivity to trees, lake environment and be respectful of our citizens. As in Redmond and Issaquah, the trail width needs context sensitivity.

Hornish: Balancing growth/environment Vance: Minimize/mitigate growth.
Q:
What is the one positive thing about Sammamish that you would fight for, even putting your career on the line? [It can’t be trees, roads or tax structure.]
Position 2 Cross: I expect to take unpopular votes to improve water quality in our lakes and streams. Our urban living is hard on streams and
includes pollutants that need to be controlled or removed. Spending time and resources on water quality will test our will to be good stewards of the environment. Malchow: Transparency. We must do a better job of operating in a transparent manner. It’s not enough to use buzzwords in the city newsletter and call it so. The processes need to easily consumable and understood by our citizens. Transparency leads to trust, which is something that feels lost right now.
Position 4 Valderrama-Aramayo: Public safety (police and fire)
Position 6 Hornish: Improved communication between the council and our citizens. Vance: Our strong environmental protections, some of the strongest in the state, that have been challenged by some in our community in recent years; our ability to protect and add to our inventory of open space and public lands, parks and preserves; and momentum to create a new Urban Forestry program.

Candidates raise $50K for campaigns ValderramaAramayo raises most at $13K BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In all, Sammamish City Council candidates raised more than $50,000 for this campaign season, according to the Public Disclosure Commission. As of Tuesday morning, Councilmember Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo has raised the most, just more than $13,000. He’s spent less than half of that, little more than $5,000, to date, and has about $180 logged as debt, according to the commission. Christie Malchow, Position 2, closely follows ValderramaAramayo, raising nearly $12,900. She’s spent about $9,600 thus far. Position 6 candidate Tom Hornish comes in with the third most funds raised. Of
the close to $11,600 reported, Hornish has spent more than 90 percent, about $10,700, of his contributions. He’s also logged more than $4,500 in debt. The remaining candidates didn’t break the double digits. Mark Cross, a former council member and former mayor, has raised $7,400 and spent about $3,700, according to the commission. Incumbent and Mayor Tom Vance has raised more than $7,300 and spent more than $4,500. Vance is running against Hornish. According to the PDC, any remaining funds must first be used against any outstanding debt. If there is more left over, the candidate can transfer the money to a future campaign.

Sammamish Toys For Tots enters 10th anniversary BY REPORTER STAFF
Detective Amy Jarboe was with the Sammamish Police Department when she started collecting donations for Toys For Tots in 2005. Jarboe has continued to collect donations at Sammamish City Hall, though she’s since taken a job with the Woodinville Police Department. Working with the U.S. Marine Corps, which is

sponsoring the collection, she made Toys For Tots a holiday tradition in Sammamish. “Sammamish residents have always given so generously, I wanted to stay involved even though I now work in Woodinville,” Jarboe said in a press release. “At this time of year, it’s always so rewarding to come back and help organize this effort on behalf of needy kids.”
Sammamish City Hall will open itself to Toys For Tots donations on Nov. 2. Additionally, Marines and Santa Claus will attend the Very Merry Sammamish event 5:30-8 p.m. at City Hall. Donations of new, unwrapped items will be will be welcome from Nov. 2 to Dec. 10. Sammamish City Hall is located at 801 228th Ave. S.E.

have a right to the public documents of the Issaquah Valley Senior Center. After I was refused those documents, there was a clear plan to trespass me.” Members of the city council have remained largely mum on the subject of the senior center, which is operated in a city building by the nonprofit organization Issaquah Valley Seniors. But during discussion at Monday night’s meeting over the mayor’s recommendations for the city’s nonprofit grant endowments for 2016, three city councilors expressed doubts about funding the senior center. “Something’s broken,” Councilor Stacy Goodman said. “And I’d like to figure out what it is.” Mayor Fred Butler announced in July that he would only recommend funding for the senior center under several conditions, including a third-party audit of the nonprofit and the mayoral appointment of a nonvoting city representative to the board of directors. Under the plan, Issaquah Valley Seniors would receive half of its $99,000 grant request at the beginning of 2016, with payment of the other half to be voted upon by the city council after reviewing the center’s performance midyear. The city of Issaquah’s grant makes up 43 percent of the Issaquah Senior Center’s operating budget, according to the organization’s grant application. David Adler, an attorney representing Jaren and the senior center board, called the allegations by the senior center’s detractors “rumors, hearsay and innuendo.” Councilor Tola Marts said the council
should not address the personal allegations lobbed between the parties in the defamation lawsuit, but noted that many of the allegations lobbed by the lawsuit’s plaintiffs dealt specifically with the center’s use of public funds. He pointed specifically to one claim that the senior center had refused donations from the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank, ending an ongoing relationship between the two organizations. “I would have to consider what happened there before I could consider giving them a dime,” he said. Council President Paul Winterstein said he questioned the merit of continuing to fund the senior center, even under conditions. “I think there’s enough factual information available to us … that they’re not in line with our values,” Winterstein said. “At this point, I cannot support any funding for the senior center.” In a letter to the Reporter, senior center member and former Issaquah City Council candidate Kate Kaluzny said she supported Mayor Butler’s conditional funding plan and did not agree with proposals to end senior center funding or form a new nonprofit corporation to manage the senior center. Kaluzny also noted that there were 800 paying members of the senior center and only about 10 detractors on the plaintiff ’s side of the lawsuit. “If things are bad, persuade the membership to change direction by electing people who promise the wanted changes,” she said. “Why talk about cutting off funding even before the Mayor’s [sic] solution has been tried?

City, schools participate in statewide earthquake drill BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In the event of an actual earthquake, the only warning would be the shaking of the ground. To prepare for the worst the Issaquah School District and Lake Washington School District joined more than 660,000 K-12 schools throughout the state last week for the 2015 Great Washington ShakeOut Earthquake drill, according to the official ShakeOut website. Students, teachers and staff members practiced how to drop, cover and hold on Oct. 15 at 10:15 a.m. “We are now going to have an earthquake drill,” said Eastlake High School Associate Principal Todd Apple on Oct. 15 over the school’s intercom system. “You are to immediately get under the desk or table closest to you. … Now that you are protected, please get down close to the ground. Lay down or sit and lean forward with your head close to your knees. Cover your head with one arm and grab the leg of the desk or table with your

other hand. Close your eyes tightly.” After this exercise, Apple instructed the school to evacuate to the stadium. There were about 1,900 people in the building, Apple said. There were also about seven substitute teachers at Eastlake on Oct. 15. The district equips the school with a radio system so staff can communicate in case the phone lines go down. The district checked these emergency systems after the school evacuated and students and teachers were given the all clear to return inside. Worldwide, more than 22.6 million people participated in the drills last week, according to the official ShakeOut website. In Washington state, more than 1.07 million participated in the drill this year, according to the data. Sammamish city staff also participated in the Great Shakeout exercise, Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard reported
at the end of the Tuesday Sammamish City Council meeting. After practicing crouching under their desks, staff, too, evacuated the building. The city also activated the Emergency Operations Center, which would communicate with other pre-located neighborhood Emergency Communications Info Hub sites throughout the city. The sites create a common meeting place for citizens throughout the city. The city is broken into 11 zones; in the case of a disaster, citizens can go to their zone’s site for information, resources and to communicate with the city.

Boddie is a force in the backfield for the Spartans Issaquah Reporter: What is your favorite eatery in Sammamish?
BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Skyline Spartans senior running back Rashaad Boddie lets his play do the talking on the football field. The soft-spoken Boddie verbally committed to the Colorado State University collegiate football program in September. The Spartans have put together a 6-1 overall record thus far. The 6-foot, 225-pound running back is focused on consistently improving his game. “The thing for me is I just want to keep getting better to help this team. I’m focusing on improving my lateral movements,” Boddie said this past summer. Boddie thrives running around defenders — as well as running through them. “I like to do a little bit of both. I think its fun,” he said. Boddie believes wholeheartedly in the coaching philosophy of Skyline head coach Mat Taylor and his staff. “Coach Taylor knows what he is doing and what he is talking about. I believe in his system and I believe in his plays and this program,” Boddie said. Recently the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter had an opportunity to ask Boddie a few questions about his life away from the football field.
Rashaad Boddie: I like to try different kinds of restaurants. I really like The Ram and the Sammamish Cafe. IR: Who was your idol growing up? RB: Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings running back). I think our games have lots of similarities. IR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know? RB: My favorite TV shows of all time are “Smallville” and “Teen Wolf.” IR: What is the last movie you saw in the theater? RB: I saw Mad Max. It was a different kind of movie. IR: How many text messages do you send per day? RB: I probably send 30 per day. IR: What kind of music are you listening to the most in your iPod right now? RB: I’m listening to hip-hop and a little bit of country. Shaun Scott:

Eastside Catholic Crusaders cruise to win against Fighting Irish BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
For the first time during the 2015 season, the Eastside Catholic Crusaders faced adversity on the scoreboard.
The Crusaders, who led the O’Dea Fighting Irish 21-14 with just 34 seconds left in the first half of play, took the wind out of O’Dea’s sails on the final drive of the second

quarter. Eastside Catholic senior quarterback Harley Kirsch connected with wide receiver Matt Laris on a Hail Mary 40-yard touchdown pass as time expired in the first half, giving the Crusaders a 28-14 lead. The Crusaders added two more touchdowns in the third quarter en route to a 42-14 victory on Oct. 17 in Sammamish. Eastside Catholic improved its overall record to 7-0 with the win. Kirsch, who finished the game with three touchdown passes, thought Laris’ touchdown catch just before halftime was figuratively worth more than just the seven points on the scoreboard. Laris was draped by multiple O’Dea defenders, but still came down with the ball in the corner of the end zone. “I thought it was huge. It was obviously a momentum swing,” Kirsch said. “For Laris to jump up and make that catch in all that traffic is just incredible.” Kirsch connected with Laris on a 71-yard touchdown pass with 4:33 left in the first quarter as well. Kirsch also hit Hunter Bryant on an 8-yard touch-
down toss in the third quarter. Crusaders running backs Chris Lefau and Tyler Folkes each scored on touchdown runs as well. “I’m so lucky to have a receiving core of Matt Laris, Devin Jackson and Hunter Bryant. They make my life so much easier having reliable targets like that. I’m a very lucky guy to be on this team with all of this talent surrounding me,” Kirsch said. O’Dea put together a marathon 21-play, 84-yard drive spanning 11 minutes that ended with a Nathan West 5-yard touchdown pass to Sam Sanchez cutting Eastside Catholic’s lead to 14-7 with 4:44 left in the second quarter. The Crusaders answered on the very next play on Brandon Wellington’s 85-yard kick return for a touchdown, extending Eastside Catholic’s lead to 21-7. O’Dea answered on its ensuing offensive possession with Connor Gregoire 30-yard touchdown run, cutting Eastside Catholic’s lead to 21-14 late in the second quarter. Eastside Catholic head coach Jeremy Thiel-
bahr was glad to see his squad get tested by one of its biggest rivals. “You want to play games that are tough and you want to play games where your team’s mentality gets tested. This was a great ballgame for us and is an amazing rivalry for us. This is our fourth win out of our last five games against them. When you go four out of five against O’Dea you feel pretty good about yourself as a team and about where the program is going,” Thielbahr said. Thielbahr marveled about the poise and composure of Kirsch against O’Dea. The left-handed signal caller, who has already committed to play football at Cornell next season, picked apart O’Dea’s defense with his precision passing. “Harley played fantastic tonight. He has phenomenal accuracy and is having an amazing senior year. He is putting it together and is taking his game to another level,” Thielbahr said of his quarterback. “We’re really excited to see what he does
for the rest of the year.” The Crusaders will have a bye this week and will face an undetermined opponent in the on Oct. 30 or Oct. 31 in the Class 3A Metro League championship game. Wellington is confident his team will rise to the occasion in the postseason. “Even though we are ranked No. 1, I know for a fact a lot of people doubt us because we are so young. This game (O’Dea) was a big stepping stone for us because we’ve never beaten them at home. That is huge and just shows that we will respond to whoever is put in front of us,” Wellington said. “It doesn’t matter who it is. We’re going to come out and go until the whistle blows.” Crusaders’ outside linebacker Parker Davidson, who registered two quarterback sacks in the first half, concurred with Wellington’s sentiment. “This was just one step in our goals. At the end of the season we hope to be undefeated still and win state again,” Davidson said.

pass the bond, means the district has to have better outreach. “We learned from our bond failures. The tough thing is reaching 60 percent of voters when you have a lot of people in the community who don’t have kids in schools,” she said. “Voters have to understand the need and the costs and what would be the best thing to do… it’s working to really educate our voters.” As for student growth, Pendergrass said that she believes the solution can be found in working with the community, as well as the district. “I still enjoy being a board member,” she said. Laliberte said one of the reasons he has decided to enter the race is because he and his wife plan to start a family and wants the current problems dealt with before they get there. “By the time my kids are in the district, I’d like to have [the district] on the turn of getting fixed,” he said. A member of the Long Term Facilities Task Force, he said that his involvement on the committee has made it clear that new leadership at a district level is needed. “I feel like there is the perception that the district
WWW.ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
is sort of complacent in how to do things differently,” he said. “It remains a very frustrating process to be a part of this task force. The district needs to look at doing things differently.” One area he said that needs improvement is community engagement as part of facilities planning. “For a district this large, both size and class, the only effective way to do community planning is to do community-generated planning,” he said. This lack of community outreach, Laliberte said, is also partly to blame for the bond measure failures, especially when there has been organized opposition to the most recent bond measures the district has put on the ballot. “One of the things the district or our leadership needed to do was address some of the concerns the opposition raised,” he said. “The idea that the district is building ‘Taj Mahal’ schools, there was not a response to that. There was not a coherent message as to why the bond was at the level it was at.” He also said making several adjustments to the plans, such as removing unnecessary computer labs and constructing two-story school buildings, can help lower the costs and empha-
size to voters that the tax revenue will be well spent. “I think just conveying to the community you’ve created as many little wins as you can… gives you credibility,” he said. In District 2, Carlson said he has decided to run again because the issue of growth has to be dealt with. “With that level of growth, there are growing pains,” he said. “We’re going to have to make some really important decision on how we grow in the next couple of years.” Having served two terms on the board, Carlson said his work to get school curriculum changed has given him a strong understanding on how to influence local education. “We’ve got to change the standards at the state level first. You have to understand where the pressure points and leverage points are,” he said. On the bond measure, he said the district asked for too much in one bond last time and without context. “We asked for a lot of money and I made the assumption that the district voters would understand,” he said. “We were asking for three quarters of a billion dollars. It’s a big number. When we heard gasps in the room it should have been a wake up call.” Like Pendergrass, he also
Friday, October 23, 2015
attributed well organized opposition in the community to the bond’s failure: “The con people managed to catch with us with the ‘when did you stop beating your wife?’ question,” he said. “We failed to counter them effectively.” While the district has tried to make do without new facilities, Carlson said the next time a bond is presented to the voters it will need to pass if they’re going to be able to take in any more growth. “Passing that bond is critical,” he said. “The most important thing for the district is to grow thoughtfully once we pass the bond. We got to deal with the overcrowding.” One major hurdle to getting a bond passed, he said, is the inability of the district or district board members to campaign for the bond. Tepper said his experience attending numerous district board meetings as a parent inspired him to ultimately run against Carlson. “I started leaving meetings more and more frustrated,” he said. The main source of frustration, he said, has been the overcrowding of schools due to repeated bond failures, a problem he said other district have not had. “That’s one of the major issues I really feel like I
need to be a part of,” he said. When the bond measure finally passes, he said, many of other issues plaguing the district, like overcrowding and problems stemming from that, will be fixed. “One of my strengths is being a communicator, and communication is what’s really needed to get this bond measure passed,” he said. With three kids at Lakeview Elementary, Tepper said he would also be in a position to advocate strongly for academic standards. “I am very interested in making sure academic standards are kept to a level that is proper,” he said. “Our district, comparatively speaking, is okay but there is always room for improvement. A lot of the issues are going to have a common denominator.” Another district issue that inspired Tepper to run was the change in school attendance boundaries where special needs students were transferred from Lakeview Elementary. Making changes to the special needs community at the school should have been a last resort, according to Tepper. Carlson defended the decision, saying the district did not have a better option. “None of us is moving a special needs classroom as first choice, but sometimes
it is the least worst choice,” he said. “(Tepper) wasn’t at Lakeview when we brought in the learning center. Those two classrooms were not always there.” Tepper also said Carlson is not as available to the community as a board director should be. “Maybe he has such a rigorous job,” Tepper said. “I have a lot of time and I have a lot of passion. I definitely can be much more available than he seems to either want to be or can be to the community.” TJ MARTINELL: 425-822-9166; tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
