EFR won’t help with Fall City

Buddy welcomes students to BLMS

City hopes to help the hungry

It appears Fall City’s fire department may be on its own as it tries to make up for the financial hole incurred by Sammamish’s annexation of the Aldarra and Montaine neighborhoods.

King County Fire District 27, which covers Fall City, lost an estimated 15 percent of its tax base in the annexation, which became official in July.

Sammamish officials had told the district it would try to soften the blow from the move and asked two Eastside Fire and Rescue partners slated to save money due to the annexation to forgo those savings for two and a half years and forward that money to Fall City.

Sammamish will do its part to help out those less fortunate this fall.

The Mayor’s Month of Concern for the Hungry will kick off Sept. 25 with City Council members and staff collecting nonperishable food at local grocery stores.

Volunteers are needed for the kick off day as well as for collections on several other Saturdays throughout October.

Sammamish Volunteer Coordinator Dawn Sanders said the event is part of an informal competition between several Eastside cities, including Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue and Issaquah.

City Council begins approving Town Center regs

By Caleb Heeringa

It’s not every day that the Sammamish City Council draws applause for taking away an opportunity for public comment.

But that’s precisely what happened when the council voted unanimously Sept.

8 to close the public hearing on a set of development regulations that the council hopes will put the long-awaited Town Center project in motion.

“In my opinion, I don’t think there’s anyone in the room who would think that we haven’t heard, over the last seven years, every aspect of every angle of this issue,” Councilman John James said before making a motion to close the public and written comment period.

The audience, which included several property owners slated to see their lowdensity land rezoned into valuable mixeduse development projects, cheered at the decision.

With the comment period closed, the council began deliberating on a series of proposals designed to address some of the concerns raised by the public during the last three months of open public comment, including how to handle land owners interested in keeping their property as is instead of developing it like the city’s plan envisions.

That issue drew a spirited debate and split vote in the council, with Councilmembers Michele Petitti, Tom Odell, James and Mark Cross eventually

voting to make a wholesale change of the zoning in the area all at once and not allowing property owners to opt out or request a lower-density zoning. Don Gerend, Nancy Whitten and John Curley voted against the motion.

At issue are a handful of land owners – estimated by Community Development Director Kamuron Gurol at four – that have told the city they have no interest in selling or developing their property and don’t want to be taxed off of it.

A property rezoned to higher density may be taxed much more than it was before.

But Gurol said the city also had to weigh the Town Center plan and the eight years and hundreds of hours of public

meetings that went into it. An uncooperative landowner in a prime location could lead to an empty field in what the city envisions as its downtown core.

For Curley, the issue was about property rights.

“It is their freedom,” he said. “We can’t take that away from them by slapping (a zoning) on them and taxing them out of there.”

Gurol had presented the council with a compromise option by which interested property owners could ask the city to leave them at the lower density for three years, which would theoretically prevent the spike in their tax bill.

Once the 3-year period was over, the parcel would convert to the higher density.

Some of the council seemed receptive to the idea, saying it would at least provide temporary reprieve for uncooperative property owners.

But Cross, a community planner for the city of Bellevue by trade, predicted the seemingly innocuous plan would only complicate Town Center as a whole.

Individual landowners that might be against the Town Center project as a whole might drag the city through a lengthy appeals process – administratively, through the county hearing examiner and even into the courts, he said.

And in a Town Center plan that requires developers to coordinate development on adjoining parcels, having a few holdouts could thwart development for their neighbors and frustrate the private investors needed to make the project work.

“This is how layers of government that don’t help anyone get created,” Cross said. “What we don’t want is to have a situation where a developer is putting properties together and there is one property they can’t include because that property needs a

City units Sammamish kept all its options on the table for the use of development rights currently slated for land the city owns.

The Sammamish City Council elected not to make a decision on its “piggy bank” of 240 units in Town Center.

The rights are currently planned to go towards Sammamish Commons Park, City Hall and other city-owned land, though the council has indicated in the past it envisions selling those rights to other developers in Town Center to raise money for infrastructure or motivate developers to include open space and other public amenities.

“I like the idea of having more flexibility,” councilmember John James said. “Let’s use them wisely.” rezone. It puts the whole package at risk.”

Not creating uncertainty for developers was a common theme at the meeting.

Though he wasn’t discussing the rezone proposal in particular, John Potter, a consultant working on developing the 13-acre “Liu/Lynette” project near City

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Hall, told the council that his group was in discussion with potential private investors in Asia for their “Village at the Park” project.

Withholding the zoning for the project would only make it slow things down, he said. “(The planning process) can cost $500,000, $600,000, $700,000,” Potter said. “It’s a very involved process.

Without the zoning in place, it’s hard to justify spending that kind of money.”

Gerend, who supported the 3year plan, said uncooperative property owners would likely be a problem no matter how the city chose to institute the new zoning.

“Whether they’re zoned R-1 or not, if they want to stay put they’re still going to be an obstacle to a developer trying to aggregate parcels,” Gerend said.

Petitti, who voted for the wholesale change of the zoning, said she was doubtful that the option the council was discussing would be anything more than delaying the inevitable for property owners.

“In all likelihood the tax bill isn’t going to catch up with them for two or three years anyway,” she said. “I’m not sure this is going to help them.”

In a separate interview, Barbara Alsheikh, assistant tax advisor with the county assessor’s office, agreed that the rise in taxes wouldn’t be automatic upon a property being upzoned.

Schools Public schools and recreational facilities will be welcome in what is to become downtown Sammamish and will not count towards developers’ caps on commercial square footage.

That was the gist of a resolution passed 6-1 by the Sammamish City Council Sept. 8.

Councilwoman Nancy Whitten was the only dissenting vote, saying she feared that exempting a school or community center would max out already-stressed traffic models in the area. She said the city is already cutting corners in other ways that contribute added traffic, including counting small units in apartment buildings as half of a development unit.

“I wouldn’t want to do this without some additional traffic studies,” Whitten said. “How many exceptions are we going to have? Are people going to go anywhere near Town Center if traffic is gridlocked?”

Kamuron Gurol, community development director, assured Whitten and the rest of the council that there would be other outlets to address traffic impacts if a large facility were going in. Any large project is going to have do a standard traffic analysis as part of the regular process in development.

According to the council’s resolution, private schools and rec facilities, such as a gym or private pool, would count as commercial development, though “low intensity” portions of the facility such as soccer fields or basketball courts would be exempted.

Councilman Mark Cross said it didn’t make sense to have a large school eat up the limited commercial square footage allowed in an area that was envisioned as having retail or office space.

“The idea (of Town Center) wasn’t to locate new schools in town, but to provide opportunities to have more people work and live in Sammamish,” he said.

Assessments are based on sales, not zoning, she said, so the increase in value wouldn’t come into play until nearby pieces of land began to sell.

“There’s no way to tell what that lag is going to be,” Alsheikh said. “It depends on what the

economy and construction are doing. It could be a year or two, it could be more.”

Women bicycle for domestic violence prevention

By Laura Geggel

Bridget considers herself a strong woman, so strong that she found a way to save herself and her young son from her abusive husband.

The two got help from the Eastside Domestic Violence Program, and now Bridget is giving back by cycling with the Lakemont Ladies Cycling Club during the annual Cycle the WAVE — Women Against Violence Everywhere — Issaquah bike ride.

It takes seven times for an abused woman to actually leave her husband, Cycle the WAVE

District 10, the two partners who would save about $10,000 and $38,000 a year respectively due to the agency’s assessed valuebased station funding model, balked at the idea of turning down the savings and questioned why their citizens should fund a promise made by Sammamish independent of EFR’s board.

At the Sept. 9 EFR meeting, the board voted down a proposal to have District 10 pay Fall City’s department $125,000, the esti-

ride director Sharon Anderson said.

“I was on time five,” said Bridget, who asked that her last name not be used, because she lives in confidential housing to protect herself and her son.

She lived with her husband for 10 years and lived with multiple kinds of abuse: emotional, psychological, verbal, physical and financial.

“Things really changed for me when I had my son,” she said.

The family had lived in Seattle, but later moved to Las Vegas. Bridget said she had no phone, no computer and no car.

Still, she found a way to call

mated amount Fall City is missing out on over the next two and a half years, and then have that total deducted from an outstanding debt District 10 owes Sammamish. District 10’s commissioners were the only affirmative votes.

“We don’t need a loan, we have $53 million in the bank,” Sammamish Mayor Don Gerend said in response to the proposal.

Gerend and Councilman Tom Odell, Sammamish’s representatives on the board, debated with EFR chief Lee Soptich whether “softening the blow” entailed ensuring that Fall City wouldn’t have to make any staff cuts or

emergency shelters. Of all the shelters, the women at the EDVP were the most compassionate, Bridget said.

EDVP has served more than 104,800 victims of domestic violence since it opened in 1982. For

every person the EDVP shelters, the nonprofit has to turn 18 away for financial reasons.

“I told my ex we were leaving to see family. Otherwise, I would have never gotten out,” she said.

Her family, relieved she was finally leaving her husband, paid for her plane ticket and picked her up from the airport.

She met the director of the EDVP at an arranged location, and the director drove her to an emergency shelter, where she stayed for one month with her son.

The shelter was not a place to settle, but a place to help women make the break from their rela-

tionships and learn about local resources.

“I compare it to an emergency room,” Bridget said, whose bedroom had a red button that would dial the police. “It’s a secure feeling, but you’re always aware of your situation.”

At the shelter, she received bus tickets, food, counseling and learned about the Department of Social and Health Services and child advocacy groups.

Her son, then 3, had begun to verbalize the abuse he had experienced.

“My husband would tell him to

simply meant it would make up the tax funds lost in the annexation. Any assurance Sammamish made to Fall City was an “intent, not a commitment,” Odell said.

In a later interview, Fall City Chief Chris Connor said his department has been cutting down on expenses since it became clear the annexation was going forward earlier in the year.

The department has put off an upgrade to the oxygen masks its firefighters use during structure fires and has cut back on all nonessential training like swift water rescue. Connor said the department would likely have to dip into its budget reserves to meet

operating costs next year and wouldn’t know for sure whether or not they’d have to cut any staff until the county assessor’s office releases its predictions of changes in assessed valuation of property for next year.

Soptich echoed earlier arguments made by Issaquah and District 10 representatives – that it was Sammamish’s annexation and Sammamish’s promise to make up for that annexation, and that the rest of EFR’s partners shouldn’t have to fund that.

“We don’t have a lot of skin in the game on this. We’re trying to find a way not to harm an agency we rely greatly on and at the

same time not harm (EFR’s) partnership,” Soptich said. “I don’t think it’s fair to continue to have Fall City wonder whether they’re going to have this funding or not.”

With the board at a stalemate, the issue was taken off of EFR’s agenda after the failed vote.

Discussions about adding Fall City as an EFR partner will likely continue at next month’s meeting, scheduled for Oct. 14.

Review editorial No Child Left Behind needs rewriting Another year has come and gone and test results related to No Child Left Behind have been released.

Three schools in Sammamish are now considered “failing” — Beaver Lake Middle School, Inglewood Junior High and Eastlake High School. But before you consider moving your child to a different school, or your family to a new district, consider this.

The designation is virtually meaningless.

The way the law is structured, it slices the student body of each school into slivers — mostly along racial lines, but also including special categories for children with special needs or who are just learning English.

A percentage of students in each of these subgroups must be proficient on the test for the school as a whole to be considered passing. If enough students in one sub-group don’t pass the test, the school is failing, even if 100 percent of the students in all the other groups do make the grade.

The system seems largely set up to create failure.

In a few years, every student will have to pass the test in order for the school to be considered a passing school. Yes, by 2014, schools will have to achieve a 100 percent pass rate.

We’re not statisticians, but common sense tells us that a 100 percent “pass” rate is impossible. In practical terms, this means that a single child (with a runny nose, or raging hormones) could have a bad day on a single test, and the entire school would be considered failing as a result.

The idea behind the No Child Left Behind law was admirable. It has helped focus attention to historically underserved student populations and made educators think hard about how to reach all of their students.

But the law is rapidly outliving its usefulness.

Once all schools are failing, then what? The term will lose its meaning and no longer motivate learning communities to improve, since everyone will be failing no matter what they do.

Congress needs to overhaul this law long before we reach that threshold. Educators must find ways to continue to push student achievement forward without unrealistic goals.

Poll of the week What do you think of No Child Left Behind?

A) Keep it. It’s made schools work smarter.

B) Pitch it. It’s meaningless.

C) Keep the idea, change the specifics.

D) This is why I’m glad my children go to private school.

OPINION

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Sammamish Forum Remove the barricades Enough already with the blockade issue!

Those barricades that block connections to other roads need to be opened now.

The time to challenge road design and planning was when it was being approved years ago and the city needs to stop pandering to the whiney few and provide access to all.

It is your responsibility to be aware of planned development around you and when you buy a house.

Trying to come back now and change the rules of the game is just wrong and immature.

Tomatoes for world peace Tomato plants can bring people together and make lasting friends.

Years ago, I was introduced to a neighbor whom I thought was a screwball that I never intended to talk to again.

If he was walking in my direction, I’d make a turn to avoid him.

This all changed when we admired each others tomatoes and started talking about our plants — their breed, ripening season, size, shape, color, taste, soils, supports, fertilizer, watering and anything else regarding our plants. We became great friends, buddies.

We live on the west side of the Sammamish Plateau, so luck is also a factor because we don’t get as much morning sun as most of Sammamish.

Topography, trees and buildings all play a part.

A special feature of our new friendship was our conviction that you need to talk to your plants.

Our experience proves to us that this is so.

Plant tomatoes along the borders of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and see what happens. It’s worth a try.

Be nice to your plants, and people, too. Remember the next impor-

tant thing for world peace: Get your plants in early.

A different barricade study About two years ago, when the city officials started talking as if removing the barricades would solve all our traffic problems, I sent an e-mail to all the council members, asking them to make the following information public: 1. When were the barricades installed?

2. What were the reasons for their installation?

3. Under whose authority were they installed?

The only council member that replied was Nancy Whitten, who forwarded my e-mail to city employees and asked them to look into this matter. I never heard from them.

Now, if we knew why the barricades were installed in the first place, all we have to do is to consider those reasons: Are they still valid? If they are, then end of story.

Barricades stay where they are.

It is not necessary to have one public meeting after another.

Also, if barricades were installed, for instance, on the orders of a federal judge, then the City Council may not have the authority to override his decision.

Historic times are here Sometimes we are so focused on our lives that we miss historic movements. At this time, the issues of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment will now be constitutionally interpreted and this will have profound effects on the future of this country.

Missouri, where a ballot initiative establishing the right of Missouri citizens to reject the Obamacare mandate passed by 70 percent of the primary voters (a record 900,000 voter turnout).

The election season this fall will also see other ballot initiatives that will challenge federal laws including legalization of marijuana in California.

The stakes are high (no pun intended) as this ballot initiative will set up a historic challenge to federal governance of drug laws over states rights in the Supreme Court.

States challenging immigration enforcement (through state legislatures and litigation brought by the attorneys general) will force a reticent federal bureaucracy to once and for all solve the rampant illegal immigration problem or relinquish the power back to the States.

Our constitution is being tested and I believe the Supreme Court will stop the erosion of our liberties and finally provide some sanity to the judgments of lower courts.

As with the rulings on the Second Amendment that defined the right to bear arms once and for all, so will the Supreme Court finally define the limitations of the power of the federal government.

though Sanders hopes the city can do a bit better this year.

“Any group that can give a whole day or even half a day somewhere, we’d love to partner with them,” Sanders said. “We’re trying to keep it going all month.”

Mayor Don Gerend will be shuttling between grocery stores Sept. 25 and loading collected food into his pick-up truck to be hauled back to City Hall where it will be weighed.

Gerend joked that Sammamish only finished below other cities last year because it was more honest in weighing its food.

“It’s a great day,” Gerend said of the Sept. 25 event. “It’s particularly important in these tough economic times when so many people don’t have jobs and are struggling to get by.”

Food will also be collected at the city’s annual recycling event at Eastlake High School, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 25.

Eastlake and Skyline High School will collect food during their homecoming games.

The Rotary will do its part during the Nightmare at Beaver Lake.

area of downtown, is one of the property owners who had petitioned the city for tax relief. Spiegler, who currently lives in Virginia and rents out her Sammamish home, has qualms with the entire Town Center project, saying it doesn’t provide near enough density or commercial development to make a worthy investment for developers.

“I haven’t had a developer call me in six years,” Spiegler said in a later interview. “The plan as it stands is horrendously flawed … (The city) did not want a town center, they got into doing a town center plan because they had to comply with the requirements of the (state Growth Management Act) … Now that they’ve satisfied the state they can sit on a plan that’s impossible to implement.”

Spiegler said she fears that the plan will flounder and leave her and her neighbors with a high tax bill but no willing buyers.

“It’s one thing to take an increase in taxes for two years because a developer called last week and says he’ll have dirt

turned over in 2013, but that’s not what we’re looking at,” she said.

Cross said causing headaches for developers to placate a few residents isn’t in anyone’s interest.

“A developer might be ready to offer good money for a lot that has the old zoning, but would be putting their entire project at risk of delays due to the uncertainty of rezoning that piece,” Cross

wrote in an e-mail. “In my view this would cause a reduction in the price offered for the parcel that is in a three year holding pattern … Keeping old zoning in illogical spots is just that, illogical.”

Some fear new schedule could lead to tired firefighters

By Caleb Heeringa

Eastside Fire & Rescue officials are considering working their firefighters for 48 hours at a time in exchange for four consecutive days off.

A study group comprised of fire commissioners and firefighters compared and contrasted various work schedules used by neighboring fire departments and presented their findings to EFR’s board Sept. 9.

The agency currently uses a scheduling model known as a “Modified Detroit,” which has firefighters work one day on, one off, one on, one off, one on and four off. King County Fire District 10 commissioner Wes Moorehead said the study

go punch me,” Bridget said. “My son is so sensitive. I knew that for his sake I had to leave.”

group found that this model has the potential to lead to long-term fatigue because firefighters are forced to go back and forth from work days to off days and are unable to set good sleep schedules in their off days. It’s also a complicated schedule for firefighters trying to maximize time with their families, he said.

“I went into this predisposed that (working 48 hours at a time) would be a fatigue issue, but I was surprised to find that those predictions didn’t come true,” EFR Deputy Chief of Operations Jeff Griffin said.

“When you’re a rookie firefighter the first thing we tell you is that everything (in the fire service) can kill you and we’ll prove it to you. It makes them hyper-vigilant.

With the help of the EDVP, Bridget moved to transitional housing and enrolled in Seattle Central Community College’s social and human services program.

They don’t recover psychologically from that state rapidly.”

Though firefighters working 24-hour shifts often have opportunities to sleep, they can also be woken up at any moment to run to a fire or medical emergency.

The work group interviewed administrators and union representatives from fire departments in the area, including several that had recently changed to the “two-on, four-off” system. The results ran the gamut, with some reporting happier and less fatigued firefighters to others reporting declining productivity.

The result, Cycle the WAVE, debuted in 2008, with 253 riders raising $23,000. Last year, participation in the ride more than doubled, with 604 women fundraising $50,000.

Her goal for 2010 is 1,000 riders bringing in $100,000.

The ride — not a race — invites women to cycle 25, 40 or 62 miles. Women from the area, including Eastside Fire & Rescue and Issaquah schools, pedal throughout Issaquah for their sisters in need.

The work group also believes the change could be made without any additional costs or employees.

But Ron Pedee, chairman of the EFR Board of Directors wasn’t buying it, and had drafted an 8-page minority report explaining why.

“Why in the world would we want to trade a situation where we have a fresh firefighter coming to work every morning,” Pedee asked. “In (a two-on, four-off system), on half of the days of the year, all the firefighters in the stations will have been on duty for at least 24 hours. It does-

items stolen. Police were able to obtain a partial fingerprint from the door and believe it might belong to the suspect. The case remains under investigation.

Odd withdrawal Not a gamer A couple on the 22500 block of Northeast 12th Place reported several fraudulent charges on their credit card Sept. 3.

The couple received several calls from companies asking them to verify their credit card information for purchases of an Xbox and several other purchases.

They are unsure how their information was stolen. The case remains under investigation.

Late-night intruder A 47-year-old Sammamish woman apparently had thousands of dollars of electronics and other personal items stolen from her home while she slept Sept. 3.

The woman, who lives on the 2800 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway, fell asleep at around 11 p.m. the night before with her front door closed but unlocked.

When she woke at 6 a.m. the front door was propped open with a dust pan and various items in the living room and entry way of the house were gone.

A laptop, guitar, camera, cell phone, Social Security card and credit cards were among the

A 35-year-old Sammamish woman reported Sept. 1 that someone had withdrawn $62.50 from her bank account without her permission.

The charge was made at a Seattle ATM the day before. The woman closed her account and the bank refunded the money.

And another A 43-year-old Sammamish woman had a total of $1,200 charged to her credit card without her permission Aug. 15.

The charges were made in Irvine, Calif. The victim closed her bank account and got a new debit card.

And yet another An 18-year-old Sammamish man had $400 fraudulently withdrawn from his bank account Aug. 29. The victim said he had been given a temporary ATM card by his bank.

He told police that when he received the real card he thought he threw the temporary one away, but could not be certain.

And how about one more?

A 55-year-old Sammamish

woman reported Aug. 25 that she and her daughter had thousands of dollars fraudulently charged to their credit cards.

The charges all occurred between Aug. 17 and Aug. 19 in the San Diego area and included trips to fast food restaurants and two $700 purchases at department stores.

The victim suspects someone from her cleaning service may have been involved, as the company had sent someone she didn’t recognize to clean her home the day before the charges began.

The victim closed both the credit cards. The case remains under investigation.

No more mowing A Seattle man who rents out a home on the 22900 block of Northeast 21st Street reported that someone had been repeatedly vandalizing the home over the last nine years.

On Sept. 4, the landlord found that a lawnmower he kept in the vacant home’s garage had had its pull string cut.

The man is unsure how someone could have accessed the garage. He said that two days before someone had damaged motion sensor lights in front of the garage.

The landlord said that the vandalism had been occurring off and on over the years, usually when the house is vacant. Locks had been filled with glue, cable wires had been pulled out and the house had been egged.

He told police he suspected a

neighborhood teenager, as the vandalism was “something a kid would do.” The case remains under investigation.

Backseat flagger A 64-year-old Aberdeen man was cited for reckless driving for refusing to follow the directions of a flagger in the construction zone near the corner of Northeast Eighth Street and 244th Avenue Northeast.

The incident occurred the afternoon of Aug. 31, when the man, a former construction flagger himself, was confused by the flagger’s directions. He became frustrated with how the lanes were marked and stopped and refused to move, holding up traffic behind him.

When police arrived, the man told the officer that he “refused to communicate with arrogant [expletive deleted],” according to the police report.

When the officer asked the man if he was referring to the officer, he replied, “that’s not what I said but if that’s how you took it then so be it,” according to the report.

The man eventually moved, but not until police cited him for reckless driving.

Road rage A near-collision in the QFC parking lot nearly escalated into a fight the morning of Sept. 3.

A 42-year-old Snoqualmie man called police to report that another driver had threatened

him during the incident, which occurred just before 8 a.m.

The other driver, a white male in his 50s, got out of his car and began yelling at the victim.

The victim drove away and both cars turned left out of the parking lot onto Issaquah-Pine Lake Road. As they drove in adjacent lanes, the suspect reportedly showed the man a “black object.”

Not sure what the object was, the victim showed the man his cell phone, attempting to indicate that he was going to call police.

The victim went to work that day and then called police in the afternoon with the man’s license plate number.

Police attempted to contact that man at the address on the vehicle’s registration, but the residents at that address said they were renting from the man and were unsure where he lives now.

The case remains under investigation.

Rocking too hard A 48-year-old Sammamish man on his way home from a concert at the Snoqualmie Casino was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Sept. 3.

A Sammamish Police officer clocked the man driving 54 miles per hour in a 35 zone on the 4400 block of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road at around 12:15 a.m.

The officer smelled alcohol on the man’s breath and gave the man field sobriety tests, at which he performed poorly. A portable See BLOTTER, Page 9

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Cost overruns on parkway project

By Caleb Heeringa

n o i t c u r t s Fall In

Huge underground boulders and pockets of groundwater are delaying and increasing the price tag of the city’s East Lake Sammamish Parkway expansion project.

The Sammamish City Council met in executive session Sept. 7 to approve a $650,000 settlement with AECOM, the construction management firm running the project, over unanticipated work being done on the project.

The executive session was called because the dispute between the city and AECOM over the cost of the work appeared “on the path to litigation,” project manager Jeff Brauns said.

The delay was caused by large underground rocks, unstable soils and excessive groundwater that made it more difficult to put in large pilings needed to reinforce a bridge and hillsides above and below the road.

Public Works Director John Cunningham said before the project began the city paid for geotechnical tests that involved drilling 20 holes into the ground to analyze the state of soil along the roadway. The tests didn’t find any problems.

“The only time you really know what you’re going to hit is when you’re drilling a hole at the same size, diameter and depth as the hole you’ll need for construction,” Cunningham said.

The delay will push back the date the city expects the project to be finished to mid-November, about six to eight weeks longer than originally anticipated.

Most of the rest of the work will be above ground, meaning fewer potential soil problems, though wet fall weather could make it difficult to pave and paint the road, Brauns said.

This portion of the project, dubbed

n’t make sense.”

In his report, Pedee questioned the value of adopting a new system simply because neighboring departments were doing it. Though having four-day weekends every week would likely make firefighters happy, Pedee said he didn’t think that was worth the chance of having a firefighter on their 47th consecutive hour of work make a potentially deadly mistake. “(The two-on, four-off system) transfers responsibility and accountability to be fit for duty from the employee, where it belongs, to the employer,” Pedee wrote. “(It would) make the firefighter’s job a smaller and less important factor in their life. They would be reporting for duty less than four times per month.

Work, rather than something to be enjoyed, might well become something to be endured for 48 hours for the sake of the next four days off.”

The board will be considering the work group’s recommendations in the coming months.

With construction management fees and unanticipated costs the price tag of the project will likely reach $4.2 million.

City Manager Ben Yazici pointed out in a press release that the city received lower-than-expected bids on several other recent projects, including sidewalk and bike lane work on Southeast 20th Street – which came in for $1.5 million despite earlier estimates that it would cost $2.25 million.

The parkway’s cost overrun is “more than covered” by that and other savings, he said.

The man told the officer that he had drank “a beer and a scotch” at the concert that night, but later admitted that he had drank 3 additional scotches before the concert began, according to the police report.

The officer pulled the car over and contacted the driver, who appeared frightened and told the officer she did not have a driver’s license.

The teen gave the officer her name and date of birth but had trouble recalling her address, phone number or Social Security number.

The officer took the girl into custody for driving without a valid license and continued to question her about her identity.

The teen eventually admitted that she had been lying and gave the officer her real name and birthday.

Pot crumbs and a sip of alcohol An 18-year-old Issaquah man stopped for walking the wrong direction down the street was sent to jail for possessing five flakes of marijuana and having a slight odor of alcohol on his breath.

The officer saw the man walking south on the west side of Duthie Hill Road at around 1:30 a.m. Aug. 29 with his back to oncoming traffic. State law dictates that when a road does not contain sidewalks, pedestrians should walk on the shoulder facing oncoming traffic.

In the report, the officer states that he remembered the man from an earlier incident when the officer had caught the man and several of his friends urinating on the side of Wells Fargo at the Pine Lake Shopping Center.

The officer stopped the man and smelled intoxicants on his breath and found the man to have watery, bloodshot eyes. The officer asked the man if he had been drinking and the man said “no.”

The officer offered to let the man prove that by taking a voluntary breath test, but the man declined. The officer then arrested the man anyway, based on the fact that he was a minor exhibiting the effects of alcohol or drugs, according to the report.

While he was being handcuffed the man agreed to do the portable breath test, which showed a blood alcohol sample of approximately .007, less than one-tenth of the legal limit for those over the age of 21, but enough to warrant a minor in possession charge for those under the legal age.

The officer then began searching the man’s backpack, asking the man if it contained anything illegal. The man told the officer

“no,” according to the report.

The officer then found a small baggie with “four or five flakes” or less than one gram of marijuana. The report also states that the man had “a host of literature from Hempfest 2010” in his bag.

The man was booked into Issaquah Jail on suspicion of minor in possession, possession of marijuana and making false statements.

The case will be forwarded to prosecutors, who will decide whether the man will be charged.

The officer caught up with the man’s vehicle and clocked him driving 64 mph in a 45 zone.

When the officer approached the car he could smell a “very strong odor of unburned cannabis.”

The man, whose eyes were bloodshot and droopy, told police he is a medical marijuana patient and had smoked about one hour before.

The man was arrested after he was given field sobriety tests and showed signs of marijuana impairment. He also allowed the officer to photograph “a single bud” of marijuana, a pipe and the man’s medical card, which were found in the center console of the car. The officer then returned those items. The man was driven to Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah, where a blood sample was taken.

Officers will forward the results of tests on those samples to prosecutors, who will decide whether to charge the man with driving under the influence.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Couple celebrates anniversary in transplant ward

By Christopher Huber

Richard and Leslie Urie, of Sammamish, might have one of the more unusual stories to tell of how they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary Aug. 9.

Just five days before their anniversary, Leslie gave Richard one of her kidneys during a transplant procedure Aug. 4 at the University of Washington Medical Center.

“We both are doing remarkably well,” Richard said four weeks after the Aug. 4 surgery.

Except for Richard being a little tired and Leslie dealing with some nerve damage in her arm, the couple act as if life is nearly back to normal.

“We had a lot of people praying for us all around the world,” Leslie said.

The Uries found out Richard had kidney disease seven years ago, they said. Richard took his son off to college in Illinois and on the return trip he became sick and anemic. He soon found out he had lost half of his kidney function — it was a result of living for decades with diabetes, he said.

Richard said he wasn’t that surprised when, in 2003, the doctors told him he was in kidney failure. His mother died at age 82

2007.

Patients receiving a kidney from a non-biological living donor is on the rise, too.

“It’s becoming more common because of the wait time,” said

Dr. Connie Davis, a professor of medicine at the UW and co-director of the kidney transplant program. “We’re starting to see quite a bit of it now.”

The UW does 90-110 kidney

transplants per year, Davis said, with 35-40 kidneys coming from live donors.

When it came to the process of getting the transplant, the Uries were grateful they had plenty of time to prepare and stay as healthy as possible without Richard going through dialysis.

Some people find out when their kidneys are nearly shot and go on dialysis for years before getting a transplant, Richard said.

“I am very fortunate because I did know,” he said. He was technically on the UW transplant waitlist for about six months, but “it was really like a five-year wait.”

The key to a successful operation and recovery, Leslie and Richard said, was searching for friends and family (live donors) willing to donate. That ensures a much quicker process and may lead to getting the transplant before going on dialysis.

Six people were willing to give Richard a kidney, the Uries said.

In the end, Leslie was the best one for the task.

“I’m very thankful,” Richard said. “The waitlist is so long, the more live donors you have, the more people get them.”

Obituary Jack Sato Jack Sato, of Sammamish, died Sept. 8, 2010 following a series of strokes. He was 88.

Sato was born on Jan. 10, 1922 in Honolulu. In his younger years, he worked at a sugar cane factory, swam and bicycled for his high school teams, enjoyed photography and developed his own pictures.

He played tennis until he was 80. He was an avid chess and poker player and enjoyed solving all sorts of puzzles.

Jack was an eyewitness to the attack on Pearl Harbor. It inspired him to volunteer for the U.S. Army, but at the time the army was very restrictive on admission of JapaneseAmericans, so initially he was

Following the conclusion of hostilities, he was allowed to join the regular army and was stationed in post-war

Germany.

There he met his wife Elisabeth, a young German widow who had twin daughters.

He married Elisabeth July 29, 1954 in Heidelberg, Germany.

After marriage, they moved to the U.S. to raise their family. He used the GI Bill to attend the University of Colorado, where he received a B.S. in chemical engineering, specializing in metallurgy.

Members exchanged triumphant hugs and back slaps after the set. Then, Beeman had to start loading gear into his parents’ van.

“I can remember when these guys played in our garage,” Will Holmes’ father, Steve, said.

Indiana, Jack and Elisabeth had two children, Marc and Kay. After his retirement, Jack and Elisabeth moved to California to care for their son Marc who was seriously ill. Following Marc’s death in 1995, they moved to Sammamish.

Elisabeth predeceased Jack just six months ago. In her final 18 months, Elisabeth was a resident of a nursing home, and Jack’s focus in life was visiting her daily.

Jack is survived by siblings: Larry Sato of Sammamish, Mamoru Sato, Dorothy Ham and Ruth Torigoe of Honolulu; daughters: Evelyn (Kriss) Peters of Graham; Sibylle (Larry) Horvath of Crown Point, Ind., and Kay (Ron) Soukup of Sammamish; Jack leaves behind five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Members took a yearlong hiatus from college to focus on the band, but Bumbershoot marked the end of the basement shows and studio sessions.

Holmes heads back to L.A. to Occidental College, Bullock to the University of Washington and Beeman to Western Washington University.

Sprute has plans to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

“I don’t think it’s going to be the end in the long run,” Bullock said. “We always say it will be, but we always come back together.”

— she’s a universal donor, according to the American Red Cross. So, despite the fact that Richard has type-A blood, they matched. With organ transplants, doctors also have to factor in whether the organ will fit in the recipient’s body, among other things. However in this case, since it was a kidney, blood type was the biggest determiner.

“Now-a-days matching is not as important,” Richard said.

“Basically, it’s blood type (that’s important).”

Upon volunteering to give her husband a kidney, Leslie said the transplant department at UW asked lots of questions.

“They wanted to know if Richard coerced me to give or if anyone had asked for money,” Leslie said.

As of Sept. 9, 108,573 Americans were waiting for an organ transplant, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. Approximately 14,100 of them had received one between January and June, 2010 from 7,136 donors.

She went from two kidneys to one and also lost feeling and muscle use in her upper left arm. The pain medications made her sick and she is still doing physical therapy to regain strength in her arm.

“I was not doing well,” Leslie said.

Richard needed no pain medications, he said. He also downplays the impact of such an invasive operation, which left a foot-long scar along his right side and abdomen.

“The basic thing is it’s not as difficult as it seems,” said Richard, a deli manager at the Albertson’s along Highway 202.

“I felt fairly comfortable with what was going to happen.”

He has had difficulty not being able to work for six to eight weeks and having to nap twice a day, he said. But ultimately, both are grateful Leslie could help Richard overcome his battle with kidney failure.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Beaver Lake barbecue builds community spirit

By Christopher Huber

Pop music blared as hundreds of Beaver Lake Middle School students and their parents poured through the front doors at Beaver Lake Sept. 10. PTA volunteers greeted them, handed each a small plate and student leadership class members served pulled pork, coleslaw, root beer floats and other barbecue elements.

The annual back-to-school barbecue serves to introduce the incoming sixth-graders and their families to the greater BLMS community, said PTA co-president Deb Smith.

Although it is focused on welcoming the younger students, the event was open to everyone. In all, roughly 450 people showed up to dine in the Beaver Lake cafeteria.

This year’s barbecue was extra important, Smith said, because of the shuffling of attendance boundaries.

“It’s the first time for the sixthgraders that they have friends not from their neighborhoods,” she said. “Anytime you build community and pride in the school, kids have more sense of

belonging. It’s a good chance for parents to meet, too.”

Smith and others were impressed with the overall turnout. She said there were more seventh- and eighth-graders than usual.

As families settled into the lunch tables, parents mingled and many of their pre-teens buzzed around the open space in front of the stage. The DJ led interactive games and other students hopped outside to pet Buddy 2.0, the school’s live mascot — a bulldog, whose owner, Patrick Ford, teaches at BLMS. “My general vibe is Beaver Lake has a uniquely good grasp on the general level of raising kids and educating kids,” said parent John Haile. “The spirit of this is so right on.”

Haile has one child at Beaver Lake and one at Endeavour Elementary and has overall been impressed with the district’s promotion of community involvement, he said.

“Success is predicated on involvement,” he said. “(Being at) the barbecue just gave every kid that’s here an extra 10 points on their next test.”

Eastlake’s new principal already knows the school

By Christopher Huber

As Brad Malloy settles in as principal at Eastlake High School, the longtime administrator in the Lake Washington School District sat down with the Sammamish Review to talk a little bit about his approach to his new job.

Malloy replaced Greg Schellenberg, who moved with his family to China in July for a new school job and for his wife to pursue business opportunities.

Malloy formerly was principal and associate principal for the past seven years.

In addition to his time at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, he worked as assistant and associate principal with founding co-principal Rondel Hardie at Eastlake from 19992003.

Malloy has bachelor’s degrees in business and history from the University of Puget Sound and a master’s degree in school administration from Western Washington University.

He took the position upon the suggestion of Chip Kimball, Lake Washington School District superintendent, he said in July.

He began his career out of college in banking and insurance,

but wasn’t fulfilled, he said.

“I wanted to really make a difference and do more with my life,” Malloy said.

He taught middle school special education and social studies for eight years in the Highline School District and came to the Lake Washington School District

“I wanted to really make a difference and do more with my life.”

– Brad Malloy, Principal – in 1999.

This is his 12th year as a school administrator.

He lives in Kirkland with his wife Greta and children, Matthew, seventh grade, and McKenzie, sixth grade.

How’s the job going so far?

It’s going really well. I’m fortunate I was here before.

I knew what Eastlake was founded on. I’m not just coming in cold.

Describe your educational phi-

losophy or approach to school administration.

I’m really about kids — that’s why I’m in this. I started in special-ed.

It was very rewarding and it taught me a lot about kids and how kids learn differently. Some of the smartest kids, verbally and orally, were special-ed kids.

Fortunately, I’ve seen a mix of students throughout my teaching career. I want to care for other people’s kids like others (in LWSD) care for my kids.

How do you continue with Ronie Hardie’s legacy at Eastlake?

She is the master. She’s really the guru of Eastlake. It’s a little daunting, coming in (now).

She was an awesome mentor for me and I can only hope to live up to what she believed in.

I told her it was kind of weird sitting at her old desk.

Malloy Continued from Page 12

Why did you become a school administrator?

After six years (of teaching), I was just drawn to different things that administrators were involved in. I saw how I could impact and influence the school.

How is Eastlake different from Lake Washington High School?

It’s a lot bigger — 300 more high school kids and 100 more junior high kids. One of the first things that caught me was that we had 99.1 percent of kids passing writing.

That speaks to our community. (It’s clear) this community values education (not that Lake Washington doesn’t).

With the Lake Washington School District moving toward the four-year high school model, how will Eastlake change and how will you lead that?

Hopefully it won’t be a huge change for the kids. The big transition will be: Get the right teachers in place … and also in the first year, half of the students will be brand new to our school.

This time we have to have a good, personalized transition for our students.

The faculty change: I think we

work hard to try to anticipate areas that would be a problem.

We’ll do a good job at it. We will be well prepared and organized.

laborate. Also to develop common assessments so teachers can sit down and look at achievement. We’ve been given time to do that.

Given that Eastlake was named a 2009 state School of Distinction, how do you address the recent Adequate Yearly Progress results that show Eastlake did not meet standards in some areas?

What do you expect from Eastlake students and staff?

I think what that means, is we have to get down to the individu-

– Brad Malloy, Principal – al student. We don’t need to put all our efforts to re-teaching skills … still we have the responsibility to challenge them.

Safety Net classes help address this. The reality of the situation is, we have kids who move into the area who have not been in our K-12 criteria.

They may lack skills or credits. We’re always told (to focus on) the whole kid. AYP just takes a little sliver of a snapshot. It has forced us to look at best practices and how we teach.

We want teachers to col-

From staff: sometimes as adults, we forget the impact we can have on kids.

I think what we do with kids and how we prepare them for the future has a direct impact on society and our economy. It’s a huge responsibility we have.

For kids: They don’t wake up and think ‘how can I fail today.’ I think they’re coming here to learn something today. We have a responsibility to meet those needs.

Tell us something interesting about yourself most people don’t know.

I went to high school my last two years in West Berlin during the Cold War. Every Monday morning, Armed Forces Radio would come on and it gave an account of how many people died (crossing out of East Berlin).

It really influenced me. To have the courage to go for something when they didn’t know what would happen.

Fall sports bring mix of veterans and newcomers

By Christopher Huber

place to be one of KingCo’s best.”

Athletes in fall sports across the plateau have been practicing for weeks and most have played a game or two. Here’s a look at some of this season’s teams, more will come next week.

Girls swimming Eastlake

Cross country Eastlake Even though it lost three of its best runners to graduation, head coach Troy Anderson said the Eastlake girls cross country team still has a shot at winning state again in 2010. Some of the graduates will be hard to replace, Anderson said, but they return six of the top 10 runners from the state team.

“This year’s squad … is racing well to put themselves into another position to make a run at the state championship,” he said.

The off season seemed to bring some important team building that will be key to the team staying strong against opponents like Redmond and, in the postseason, Gig Harbor.

“The girls team have had solid off-season training, and with several new runners who are gelling with the veteran runners, the team is looking to have another strong season,” Anderson said.

Seniors Haley O’Connor, Katelyn Steen, Maddie Starnes and Megan Batty will take charge for the Lady Wolves in 2010.

The boys team graduated six of its top seven from the 2009 squad but return a youthful and energetic group of runners. The key this year will be work as a tight pack, Anderson said.

Seniors Cole Glover and Matt

Eastlake dominates Snohomish, improves to 1-1 The Eastlake football team soundly beat Snohomish Sept. 10 to improve to 1-1 on the season.

The Wolves relied on big plays from standout running back Kyle Lappano, but ultimately the offense put on an all-around show in Snohomish. Eastlake won 47-0 and now looks to take that momentum into Thursday’s game at Roosevelt Sept. 16.

The Wolves led off in the first quarter with a 43-yard rushing touchdown from Lappano. John Kilburg knocked in a 14-yard field goal to put Eastlake up 10after one. Lappano scored again on a 35-yard run in the second.

Even though it lost speedcompetition but the team is in for a one-yard touchdown, Eastlake led 24-0 at the half.

Three different players scored in the third.

Receiver Daniel Bracin scored the longest touchdown of the night, a 55-yard pass play from quarterback Keegan Kemp.

Lappano scored his third, and Eastlake’s final, touchdown in the end of the third on a 31-yard run.

As if things weren’t going well enough for Eastlake, the Wolves’ defense blocked a Snohomish punt attempt in the end zone for a safety in the fourth.

Skyline rallies to beat Bellevue Despite being down two touchdowns early in the game, the Skyline Spartans pulled off a 2821 win against 3A powerhouse Bellevue Sept. 11 at Memorial Stadium.

The Wolverines got out to a 140 lead after quarterback Kendrick Van Ackeren ran for a 7-yard touchdown and running back Ari Morales ran in a 34-yarder.

But, with the ever-improving sophomore quarterback, Max Browne, at the helm, Skyline fought back with 28 unanswered points in the second and third quarters.

The first touchdown came late in the second on a 6-yard Browne-to-Michael Ford strike.

Kasen Williams, a Washington recruit, later scored on a 25-yard pass play from Browne with 12 seconds remaining. The teams were tied at the half, 14-14.

The Spartans (1-1) came out quick in the second. It scored on its first two possessions, first on a 5-yard Browne pass to Ford, then on a 2-yard Kai Jandoc run.

Bellevue answered back with one final touchdown in the

fourth when Van Ackeren sprinted for a 40-yard run. It was too little too late, though.

Skyline plays host to Lake Oswego, Ore. at 7 p.m., Sept. 17.

Eastside Catholic rolls to 2-0 The Eastside Catholic Crusaders football team improved to 2-0 on the season after routing Sultan 45-0 Sept. 10 in Sultan. Eastside Catholic scored twice in the first quarter.

They struck first on a 51-yard pass from Trey Reynolds to Matt Callans. Reynolds hit receiver Chevy Walker for an 81-yard touchdown bomb with 5:22 left in the first.

The Crusaders continued to roll in the second, when Walker scored on a 7-yard run on firstand-goal just 30 seconds into the quarter. Kicker Danny Omiliak

Even though the Eastlake swim and dive team lost its top swimmer when Katie Kinnear moved into the Skyline attendance boundary, it returns an experienced, deep and tight-knit squad in 2010, said head coach Andy Hay. The Lady Wolves will rely on the state-experienced Kara Beauchamp, Mackenzie Rands, Laurel Schy and Becca Fabian to lead the way in a fierce KingCo league that includes Skyline, Issaquah and Garfield.

With the competition the way it is around the state this year, Hay speculated Eastlake may not send as many to the state meet, but the 27-strong team may surprise opponents with its depth.

Beauchamp, a junior, will likely compete well in the 200-meter individual medley and the 500meter freestyle. Senior Rands should compete in the diving category in 2010 and Fabian, also a senior, looks to dominate in the 100-meter breaststroke and the 50 and 100 freestyle events, Hay said. Schy will hope to score well for Eastlake in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly races.

Hay said the girls will make for a fairly strong relay team, as well.

“This is by far the deepest team I’ve seen since I started in 2007,” Hay said. “The overwhelming majority … came ready to compete and they already knew how to swim and See PREVIEW, Page 15

sent Eastside Catholic into halftime with a 24-0 lead after hitting a 21-yard field goal with no time left.

EC continued the barrage in the third when Rob Granfelt converted on third-and-goal to score a 3-yard rushing touchdown. Up 31-0, quarterback Luke Shepherd hit Jimmy Michaels for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 2:43 left.

Zane Allen capped things off in the third when he broke loose for a 67-yard scoring run.

The Eastside Catholic offense tallied 487 yards, with Shepherd completing seven of 10 passes for 122 yards.

Reynolds completed three for 147 yards and two touchdowns.

Walker had two receptions for 121 yards and one touchdown.

The Crusader defense allowed just 118 total yards from Sultan.

Eastside Catholic plays at Rainier Christian at 7 p.m., Sept. 17.

how to be on swim team.”

That’s one of the keys for Eastlake’s success this season, he said. Their experience lets them get down to business quicker at practice. And that will come in handy, especially with the Redmond Pool closed until November and the team only getting in three hours of formal early-morning practice a week at the Klahanie Pool.

One development Hay thinks will pay off for the team is the hiring of assistant coach, Sarah Kinnear. She swam for Eastlake through the 2007 season and should bring plenty of insight and experience to the program.

“She was one of my favorites then, and is still one of my favorites now,” Hay said.

Skyline If anyone rooting for the Skyline swim and dive team was worried the team might not be as deep or thoroughly dominating in 2010 as it was when it won the team 4A state championship in 2009, head coach Susan Simpkins seemed confident the Lady Spartans will remain strong.

announced on Aug. 30.

Barney earned the distinction after scoring two goals in two games to help the Gators beat Florida Atlantic Aug. 27 and San Diego State Aug. 29, a university press release said. As of Aug. 30, Barney led the team with three goals and two assists this season.

She extended her total home scoring streak to six goals, the release said. while the 2009 team was 78 strong, the 2010 squad has 92 swimmers, six of whom are divers, Simpkins said.

If it wasn’t enough to return consistent district and state winners Nina Zook, Meghan O’Keefe and Maria Volodkevich, Skyline brought on former Eastlake phenom Katie Kinnear to begin the fall. Kinnear, who has competed among the best youth swimmers in the world, moved into the Skyline High School attendance boundary since the 2009 season, Simpkins said.

“She’s an all around swimmer,” she said.

As the team is larger than ever, captains Zook, Adrian D’Alo, Kelly Freeman and Jackie Woods, all seniors, will have their hands full helping the girls stay focused on another team state title. But first, they have to beat perennial powerhouse Garfield and swim fast in the KingCo and district meets.

The Lady Spartans are in good shape after beating Issaquah 9572 Sept. 7. There, Volodkevich swam a state-qualifying time in the 100-meter breaststroke and O’Keefe qualified for state in the 100-meter butterfly. Kinnear beat a state time by more than four seconds in the season opener, swimming the 100 butterfly in 56.01 seconds. “(The key is) staying focused and just swimming well so we can get to state,” Simpkins said.

“If the girls stay focused, we will have a very strong season.”
