Issaquah family hospitalized for CO poisoning

Longtime Plateau resident Wally Pereyra stands in Zaccuse Creek in late July. Pereyra hopes the kokanee will one day spawn in this stream, which runs through part of his property east of Lake Sammamish. Currently, the freshwater fish only spawn in three creeks that lead into Lake Sammamish.

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

An Issaquah family of six was hospitalized Nov. 7 after being poisoned by carbon monoxide in their home. Eastside Fire and Rescue firefighters responded to Northeast High Street Saturday morning after receiving a call for medical assistance at the family’s home. Firefighters identified the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. The cause was determined to be a car left running in the garage. Firefighters closed the street while they investigated and ventilated the home.

There isn’t a paved path to Zaccuse Creek from Wally Pereyra’s place. After ducking under low branches, pushing through chest-high blackberries and stepping over a buried barbed wire fence, the path eventually opens to reveal a stream in perfect condition for spawning kokanee, a freshwater cousin of sockeye salmon, Pereyra said. It was about 2 p.m. on a late July day. The sun sat high above, but the trees’ outstretched limbs, with

chilled spring-fed water running below, provided relief from the summer’s record-setting heat. Pereyra bends down, reveling in the condition of the stream — it’s beautiful. For the past 42 years, Pereyra has lived just east of Lake Sammamish, slowly buying up neighboring land to protect the surrounding environment. Most recently, he acquired 13 acres to include Zaccuse Creek. Ebright Creek, a kokaneebearing stream, also runs through Pereyra’s property. Ebright is one of three steams kokanee return to in the fall to lay their eggs. “From a population health standpoint, that’s really dangerous,” said David St. John, coordinator and chair of the Lake Sammamish Kokanee Work Group.

Leadership Eastside looks at region’s future

VETERANS DAY

BY SAMANTHA PAK REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Daniel Nash, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler shakes the hand of a U.S. Army veteran and Bugles Across America volunteer. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3436 conducted its Veterans Day ceremony at the Issaquah Community Center Wednesday. VFW Senior Vice Commander David Waggoner gave tribute to Issaquah’s veterans and stated his desire for the city to fly a ‘Missing In Action’ flag for those that never made it home. VFW Commander Dean Van Dyke presented Waggoner with the Veteran of the Year award, additionally honoring Ivan Lee and Cliff LeComte. Liberty High’s ROTC conducted the ceremonial presentation and retirement of the colors.

What are the most pressing issues on the Eastside? And what can area leaders do to tackle them on a regional level? Those were the questions driving the first Eastside Futures conference, the latter of which was intended to challenge the government, business and nonprofit representatives in attendance to step away from what organizers described as narrow and siloed thinking. On Monday, more than 600 of those people gathered to discuss the future of the region. The event was held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue and was the final event for host organization Leadership Eastside’s 10th anniversary celebration. Throughout the working

The family was transported to unspecified hospitals, then Harborview and, finally, Virginia Mason in Seattle for treatment. Three firefighters were also treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at the scene. City spokespeople writing for the city of Issaquah’s Twitter account, which initially reported the incident, noted that firefighters did not find a carbon monoxide detector in the home. In the wake of the poisoning, the city published a series of safety tips on preventing carbon monoxide exposure, such as maximizing ventilation around fuel-burning devices and installing and maintaining carbon monoxide detectors. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include a dull headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, short breath, confusion, blurred vision and loss of consciousness, according to the Mayo Clinic.

discussed how teen mental health diagnoses have to be taken as seriously as other diagnoses such as cancer. They also expressed concern about how parents don’t always know how to deal with mental health issues. “It’s really tough being a kid,” one participant said during the discussions. The environmental caucus discussed their desire to see renewed focus on reducing use, per capita, of natural resources. They also discussed the potential for attracting businesses to environmentally protected areas. The basic needs caucus discussed the need for translating public information resources into multiple languages for maximum efficacy. They also discussed education for parents and families to obtain human services and advocate for themselves within the system. The neighborhoods and community building caucus discussed transportation. One participant said having services such as a light rail

station and line close to where she lives or works may be nice but that convenience becomes more complicated if she can’t park her car nearby. Members of the group said they would also like to see more affordable housing in the area. Those in the education caucus voiced the importance of acknowledging that you cannot approach education with a one-sizefits-all mindset — whether teaching style, discipline or another obstacle. They also discussed the difficulty of retaining willing and able volunteers from a pool of parents who often work during the day. Some suggested tapping into the senior citizen or recently retired population to bolster volunteer rosters. While discussing the economy, group participants focused on livablewage jobs as well as the importance of public- and private-sector collaboration when it comes to economic development.

It’s never too late to thank a veteran At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, guns fell silent across France for the first time in more than four years. Peace broke out that day, and soon ‘Johnnie came marching home’ back to the U.S. For many years, Nov. 11 was recognized as Armistice Day — a day Americans gave recognition and thanks to our World War I veterans. A second World War, one United Nations ‘Police Action’ in Korea and 35 years later, the Nov. 11 observance was renamed Veterans Day. Since then, we, as a grateful nation, have given thanks and honor to every veteran — whether they served in France, the Pacific, the cold hills of Korea or a military base stateside. WILLIAM On Nov. 11, we also gave thanks to SHAW the veterans that fought in the sand and deserts of Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. On every other day, I hope we give thanks to the active uniformed servicemen and women that are serving in harm’s way. No matter how complex the mission, or how difficult the task and terrain, our uniformed service members and military families have continually answered our nation’s call. But we as a nation have let one group of veterans down. From the early 1950’s to the mid-1960’s, we were fighting a very real Cold War. The domino theory — the idea that a communist victory in one nation would lead to a chain reaction of such victories in neighboring countries — was fact. From the White House and Pentagon down to our family dinner tables, domino theory shaped foreign policy and national opinion. All of America felt that we were the Bulwark of Freedom, and that the U.S. was obligated to take a stand against communism. And in 1965 we did — in Vietnam. Fifty years after the beginning and 40 years after the ending of that war, many Americans fail to move beyond lingering disagreement of the policies that led to that war and the complex issues SEE VETERAN, 5 ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

Eyman ‘elated’ over I-1366’s success Voters have spoken and no one could be pleased more by what they said than Tim Eyman. The professional initiative promoter had another anti-tax measure on the Nov. 4 ballot. And like many of its predecessors it is passing with support in nearly every county in the state. “I’m absolutely elated,” he gushed in a phone call after downing four glazed doughnuts at a pop-up Election Night party at a Krispy Kreme in Seattle. “It is incredibly gratifying.” Initiative 1366 may be his boldest attempt yet to force state lawmakers to do something many don’t want to do, which is to make it harder on them to JERRY CORNFIELD create new taxes or raise existing ones. The measure requires the state’s sales tax be reduced by a penny next year unless the state legislature approves a constitutional amendment requiring any new or higher tax be approved by a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate. Voters must approve the constitutional amendment, too. On election night, I-1366 was ahead in 35 counties. However, it was losing in King County where the largest mass of pro-tax voters lives. Regardless of the ending margin, Eyman said the results show when it comes to taxes most voters would like to see them go down if they can and make it harder for them to

Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park would like to thank the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce for holding a meet-and-greet and

fundraiser in support of the all-access playground at Sunset Beach at the state park on Oct. 22. It is heartwarming and encouraging to have the local business community rally around this wonderful community project that the friends group is gathering funding for. The $1,900 raised as a function of this event con-

go up if they can’t. Eyman also relished that most voters apparently didn’t give a hoot he was the driving force behind the initiative, though opponents strived to disparage the measure by tying his name to it. This could have been a year for such a tactic to work. Eyman is under investigation by Attorney General Bob Ferguson for allegedly breaking a bunch of election laws in 2012 in order to pass his last anti-tax measure. He’s been publicly accused of secretly moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions between two initiative campaigns and failing to disclose earnings of $300,000 for himself in the process. Opponents vowed to continue their fight in the courts, confident the state Supreme Court will eventually deem I-1366 an illegal manifestation. “While we are obviously disappointed in the outcome,” began Christian Sinderman, a spokesperson for the anti1366 coalition, “We have felt all along that this measure was likely unconstitutional, and look forward to next steps to prevent 1366 from cutting billions from already inadequate education funding.” Eyman figured this might happen. “We knew where the legal landmines were and designed the initiative in a way to not step on any of those landmines,” he said. If he’s right, any explosions this measure sets off will be in the legislature and on the 2016 campaign trail.

Kokanee salmon return to creeks

the fish will return to the creeks sometime in November and continue through February. Kokanee once thrived, numbering in the tens of thousands. In recent decades the species saw a dramatic decline in population. Issaquah Salmon Hatchery workers have been collecting returning kokanee as part of the hatchery’s program that aims to increase and stabilize a healthy population of the rare, freshwater fish. The hatchery program, implemented by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and King County, is primarily funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Lake Sammamish’s freshwater salmon are making their way back to their birthplace. The kokanee, most recognizable for their red bodies, began returning to their Sammamish and Bellevue breeding waters in late October. Sammamish resident Wally Pereyra and Issaquah Salmon Hatchery crews reported seeing almost 100 return to Ebright Creek thus far. Pereyra is a Lake Sammamish Kokanee Work Group member and longtime advocate for the kokanee, a species closely related to sockeye salmon. He also lives on Ebright Creek, one of three kokanee-bearing streams that feed into Lake Sammamish, and he expects a good turnout this year, he said. At the end of their life, kokanee return to theses creeks: Ebright and Laughing Jacobs Creek on the Plateau, as well as Lewis Creek in Bellevue. The females find a nice place to clear away silt and sand before laying a few thousand eggs, also called spawning. The males find a female, stand by and then deposit their sperm, called milt. In 2012-2013, there was a large kokanee return, Pereyra said. Those fry should be adults now and ready to make the journey inland before dying. It’s a good sign to see the signature red fish begin to trickle in early, Pereyra said. Usually

If, for example, a flood were to wash out all three creeks at once, thousands of baby kokanee, a year’s worth of new fish, would be washed away too. Even if one flooded, it would still dent the kokanee population, he said. A once thriving kokanee population, numbered in the tens of thousands, spawned in many streams that feed into the lake. But in recent decades the species has experienced a dramatic decline and flirted with extinction, he said. “Today you can find kokanee only in Lake Sammamish,” he said. Zaccuse Creek, although a viable candidate to boost the population, does not support the kokanee species. “What we want to do with Zaccuse Creek and others is to reestablish spawning,” he said. Back on Pereyra’s property, heading downstream toward East Lake Sammamish Parkway, it starts to become clear why these freshwater salmon aren’t spawning in this perfectly suited creek: Their route from the lake is clogged.

In order for the kokanee to reach the breeding waters on Pereyra’s property, the famously red salmon would have to pass through three culverts, according to St. John. The first, an old wooden culvert under a private road, and the second, a more modern pipe under the East Lake Sammamish Trail, will likely be replaced by King County in the coming years but are still passable, St. John said. But the third, a cityowned culvert under East Lake Sammamish Parkway, poses a real problem for kokanee migration.

“That’s a barrier almost, we think, all the time,” St. John said. “It’s not a barrier they can overcome.” Of the three, it’s the longest — approximately 40 feet — and the most costly culvert to replace, he said. The narrow pipe doesn’t allow for proper drainage; sediment and other debris cannot make it through, either. This causes flooding on Pereyra’s property east of the parkway. Pereyra, also a member of the Kokanee Work Group, has a Ph.D. in fisheries from the University of Washington.

He’s spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money rehabilitating and fighting development that threatened Ebright Creek. “These kokanee were here long before we were,” Pereyra said. “This is worth protecting.” He wants to see the city put in a bottomless culvert under East Lake Sammamish Parkway. The project, which would include a replacement

culvert as Pereyra described, would cost around $884,000, according to a preliminary estimate from the city of Sammamish. This would include replacing the 3-foot box culvert with a 10-foot bottomless one. Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance said the city has roughly $300,000 from the King Conservation District, which could be earmarked for this replacement project.

The Sammamish City Council, however, has not approved such a project nor has it allocated any funding to the project. Pereyra said he strongly believes the council, especially with 2016 additions Christie Malchow and Tom Hornish, will prioritize the replacement of this culvert in coming years.

Eagles defeat Titans, clinch berth at the state tourney BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Photo courtesy of Don Borin/Stop Action Photograpjy

Issaquah Eagles players celebrate after scoring a goal in the first half of play. The Eagles defeated the Titans 5-0.

With their season on the line, the Issaquah Eagles came through against the Union Titans on the soccer pitch. The Eagles cruised to a 5-0 win in a winner-to-state, loser-out district playoff game on Nov. 7 at Issaquah High School in Issaquah. Madison Phan, Tori Lawless, Kirstie Johnson, Kaylene Pang and Alina Ruzicka each scored a goal in the contest. Johnson’s goal came on a header in the 25th minute and Pang scored on a penalty kick in the 48th minute. The Eagles dominated all 80 minutes of play and had the opportunity for the majority of its reserves to get ample play time in the final 20 minutes. Eagles’ goalie Anna Miller, who was substituted out of the game in the 67th minute of play, received a rousing ovation from the hometown crowd. Issaquah head coach Tom Bunnell was thrilled with his team’s complete performance. “Five different people scored and everybody got to play

big minutes including the call ups (from the junior varsity team),” Bunnell said. “We got a great result and to have the shutout is really cool too.” The Eagles faced Jackson in the first round of the Class 4A state playoffs. As of press time, results of this contest were unavailable. “Now we have a clean slate and we get to start over. We will face some really good teams on our side of the bracket and we go to Jackson,” Bunnell said following the win against Union on Nov. 7. “Jackson is really good and they have some really dynamic players.” Bunnell said getting to the state tournament is a huge accomplishment for his squad, but also said reaching the semi-finals/finals is his squads aspiration. “Going to state is a special thing for a high school player but just getting there is not enough,” he said. “We got a tough road, we want to realize the excitement of the ‘final four’. That is really the goal and once you get there, the goal is to try to get to the final and win it.”

Issaquah soars past Olympia in crucial playoff contest BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A little over a month ago the Issaquah Eagles suffered a 3214 defeat in a non-league game against the Olympia Bears. The Eagles haven’t lost since. Issaquah avenged the early October defeat against Olympia, cruising to a 28-14 victory in a winner-to-state, loser-out district playoff game on Nov. 6 at Gary Moore Stadium in Issaquah. It was the Eagles fifth consecutive victory on the gridiron. Issaquah left cornerback Conner Pederson, who finished with a game-high three interceptions including a spectacular 52-yard interception return for a touchdown giving the Eagles a 7-0 lead with 1:51 left in the first quarter, said the coaching staff put together a great game-plan against the Bears. “It is the second time we have faced Olympia. Obviously the first time around they gave it to us pretty good. We were coming into this game pretty confident because we knew if we could stop their core plays, they were going to have to start throwing it up and that is exactly what happened,” Pederson said. “We responded the way we expected to.” Issaquah running back Bryce Hughes scored on a 3-yard touchdown run up the middle, extending Issaquah’s lead to

14-0 with 7:54 left in the second quarter. Olympia got on the board with a 42-yard touchdown scamper by running back Scott Gunther, cutting Issaquah’s lead to 14-7 with 2:18 left in the second quarter. The Eagles answered when quarterback Cam Humphrey calmly connected with Pederson on a 29yard touchdown pass, extending the lead to 21-7 with 1:08 left before halftime. Instead of being conservative, the Bears tried to move the ball with minimal time left on the clock. The move backfired. Olympia quarterback Jack Bell was picked off by Hughes at the 30-yard line who then preceded to return the ball to the endzone, giving the Eagles an insurmountable 28-7 lead with 48 seconds left in the first half. Hughes credited defensive coordinator Zach Tuiasosopo for putting Eagles defenders in the right positions to make plays. “Coach Tui laid it out perfectly for us in practice. We spent hours in film study. We put the time in and we were the more physical team. We came out and we had the want to,” Hughes said. “We felt they took something from us (meaning the 3214 loss in October) and we had a little comeback we needed to give them.” Eagles’ head coach Buddy Bland said having an opportunistic defense has been a staple of the Eagles mode of operation

all season long. “We’re really proud of the fact that we are plus 14 with takeaways and that play held true for tonight. I’m very proud of our defense and their ability to shut them down in the first half,” Bland said. “The goal was to go 1-0 this week and we got that taken care of.” Humphrey, who is in his second season as the Eagles starting quarterback, credited the defense for shutting down Olympia’s prolific offense. “Hats off to the defense. They have been playing well these past five weeks. I can’t thank them enough. They are coming out every game and are doing what they need to do. Coach Tui is leading them and we got some ballers out there.,” he said. Hughes was impressed with Pederson’s all-around performance. Pederson finished with three interceptions and two touchdowns. “It feels good knowing we have him on the left side (cornerback). I know he is going to have that side of the field locked down every time,” Hughes said of Pederson. The Eagles will face Lake Stevens at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 in the first round of the Class 4A state playoffs. “We’re ready. We got a good win streak going and we’re coming full speed at them,” Pederson said.
