An initial report of a home invasion robbery in Sammamish turned out to be a drug deal gone bad. Samuel Paul Hammitt, 19, and Antonio Felipe McClure, 21, were charged Wednesday with first degree robbery and unlawful possession of a fire arm, after they allegedly robbed seven people, according to the charging papers. Police are also looking for two women, ages 18 and 19, who were involved. No one was injured in the incident, but one of the two men reportedly fired a .38-caliber handgun at a couch to prove it was real. The victim told police he has a prescription for medical marijuana, and often sells cannabis to other card carriers, according to the papers. He admitted to selling McClure the drugs once in Renton, but swore off dealing with him anymore, because he paid with counterfeit money. However, McClure’s friend called to setup a deal, and four people, including McClure, met with him at a Bellevue store Oct. 10. The suspects asked for more drugs than he had, and he agreed to take them to his Sammamish apartment, 700 block of 240th Way Southeast., where he had more marijuana. There were six other people inside the apartment when the victim arrived. They recommenced their deal with more marijuana on the table, but began to argue when the suspects tried to pay with more counterfeit money. Pulling out three handguns and a taze gun, the suspects then ordered everyone to the ground and announced a robbery, acording to the papers. Two of the victims claimed the guns weren’t real either, and began struggling with the suspects. One of the women allegedly hit a victim on the head with the gun, causing him to bleed. When they stopped fighting, one of the suspects fired the gun at a sofa, according to the papers. Everyone in the apartment was forced to their stomachs, and several people were robbed of cell phones, cash and the marijuana. As the four fled, a victim wrote down the license-plate number of McClure’s red Mazda Protege. They were arrested Oct. 14. After searching McClure’s car and bedroom, police found what appeared to be a working AR15 styled rifle, similar to a police assault gun, and two handguns. The .38-caliber handgun has yet to be recovered.
Nancy Jones had been hunting for a funky coat rack for some time when she found the vintage red, freestanding hatrack at Lucky You! It was perfect for her place. How lucky, she said. It’s all in the find, added Denise Jensen, who opened the new home decor shop in at Gilman Village two weeks ago. She hopes to fill the gap between high-end boutiques and the uniform offerings of major department stores. Too often design shops are too high end or junk, Jones said, with few stores offering something in between. Focusing on nickknacks for home decorating, the store also has plenty to offer in the way of jewelry and clothing, especially formal dresses for children. Try as one might to rush through the store, a barn converted to a storefront many years ago, there is too much to be seen to hop in and out. A mixture of vintagestyled mirrors and old subway signs poke up just above displays of hour glasses, pillows and bird figurines. “I buy what I like,” Jensen said. “I learned not to just go with trends.” The building’s exposed timber and restored floor boards, which occasionally creek, complete the picture. A customer placed a giant red pear next to a stack of fake books on the counter. “Twelve bucks each, wow,” she exclaimed, before reaching for a bird cage.
Nancy Jones ignores trends and buys what she likes for her new store, ‘Lucky You.’ CELESTE GRADEY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
After having put her merchant’s degree to use for 26 years, Jensen needed the prodding of a friend to open Lucky You! “I didn’t want to be tied to a storefront,” she said. At the time she had a business selling children’s dresses at holiday shows, called All Dressed Up. Her customers
kept inquiring where they could find the clothing yearround. With all but one child out of the house, she had the time to open a shop. Her plans weren’t certain until she found the barn at Gilman Village. “If I had not found this, I would not have opened,” she
said. “It’s been a year since the barn had an occupant. The tall windows and an excess of lighting create a vibrant atmosphere for a store somewhat cluttered by design. An Issaquah native, Jensen remembers the days SEE LUCKY YOU, 7

County Council adopts new payment schedule for road fees
ROBOTS ON DISPLAY
The Metropolitan King County Council has given its unanimous approval to a new payment system for developer road fees. The fees are used to fund local transportation facilities in unincorporated King County which will be impacted by newly developed areas. The adopted ordinance breaks ground by creating an option for applicants to delay paying these fees, subject to the payment of an administrative delay fee. King County’s transportation impact fee system is better known as the Mitigation Payment System or “MPS” and was created in 1991. The purpose of the MPS program is to provide funding for road improvements necessary to mitigate the traffic impacts of a new development on the county’s roadway system. Projects are funded by a mix of MPS fees and other public funds, not solely by MPS fees. The MPS program divides the unincorporated area into approximately 230 zones or service districts. For each zone, the MPS resi-

The hospital brought the new addition into the lobby for a week to allow the public to learn about it. The demonstrations allowed several robotics students to try operating the machine themselves on a test dummy. The robot allows surgeons to achieve greater accuracy and precision in the operating room. COURTESTY PHOTO

dential fee is established through a computer traffic model’s determination of the impacts on the road system of new development. The legislation adopted by the council updates the project list, the costs of these projects and the fees for each zone. It also deletes zones that no longer contain any unincorporated area as a result of annexation activity. As the unincorporated area shrinks, due to annexation activity, MPS revenue is projected to tail off. The Transportation Needs Report projects $8.2 million in MPS revenue in 2011-2022. The new framework would allow a builder to pay fees due to the county at the time of closing or 18 months from the original building permit issuance, whichever comes earlier. Similar language has been adopted in Snohomish and Pierce counties. The amended legislation has been accepted by two important local stakeholders – local transportation advocacy group Futurewise and the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish counties.

New Technology: Bad news for the bad guys King County’s new generation Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is now “live.” The new AFIS can match fingerprints and palm prints, and is already proving to be a great success, law enforcement officials say. Examiners can now give detectives new suspect names in homicide, rape, and kidnapping cases, among others. The number of suspect identifications will continue to increase as more palm prints and fingerprints are added to the database. More crimes will be solved through the use of this new technology, contributing to officer and public safety, officials say. Under administration of the King County Sheriff ’s Office, the AFIS Program serves all law enforcement agencies within the county. The program’s criminal fingerprint technology and operations are funded by a property tax levy.

The Cube of Food, brought by King County to the Issaquah Salmon Days, demonstrated how much waste the average family could compost. The exhibit fit in well with the festival’s three-year program to require all food vendors to use only compostable severing materials and containers. CELESTE GRACEY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Salmon Days Waste 2011 8.12 tons of solid waste, 2.31 tons compost, 1.6 tons recycled 33 percent steered from landfills
2010 4.94 tons of solid waste, 3.69 tons compost, 3.13 tons recycled 58 percent steered from landfills County brought a “cube of food” to the festival for its third year. The 477 pounds of food scraps, colorfully arranged in a clear box, demonstrated
what the average family could compost, but doesn’t each year. When the festival first heard about the program, it wasn’t so confident it would work. Rotting food, after all, is tossed for a reason. However, it didn’t smell and yellow jackets weren’t attracted to it, so the festival gave the cube a chance. They’ve come back each year since, Kelley said. “I think it’s our chance in this fun festive environment to say, ‘you can do all of this and be respectful to the environment.’” Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter staff writer Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425391-0363, ext. 5052.

‘Taze’ warning stops suspect on the run

Chamber endorses I-1183 The Issaquah Chamber of Commerce formally supported I-1183, which would privatize liquor sales. The decision marks the chamber’s continued emphasis on business advocacy. Costco, which has poured millions into such measures, is based in Issaquah.
The following information was compiled from City of Sammamish police reports: A wanted man tried to escape Sammamish police after he was arrested with $110,000 in warrants on his head Oct. 4. The Tacoma man was discovered after getting into a serious car crash on East Lake Sammamish Parkway. The suspect complained of back pain, however, and was transported to Overlake Hospital. When the officer removed the man’s handcuffs and stepped behind a lead barrier at the hospital, the suspect took the chance to flee the room. The officer gave chase, and, catching up with him down the hall, yelled, “Stop, or I’ll taze you.� Upon hearing this, the man fell on his stomach, and put his arms out in surrender. Although the officer took the man into custody without further struggle, the disgruntled man said if he wasn’t cuffed that he would punch the officer in the face.
Tutta Bella aids cancer research Tutta Bella, which has an Issaquah location, raised $20,000 Oct. 7 for breast cancer research in their “Slice of Hope� campaign. The restaurant chain gave 15 percent of its sales to the fundraiser that day, which went to benefit research at UW Medicine and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

DUI patrol locations on Web A website sponsored by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission is providing information on where police officers will be conducting DUI patrols. The site, waTikiLeaks.com, has a state map with DUI patrol locations for King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Click on a county and the site will show dates, times and locations for upcoming DUI patrols. The task force’s goal is to promote safe driving on a community level, and one method is to encourage sober driving.
Sammamish police arrested a 16-year-old, after he was caught speeding through a neighborhood at 54 mph and swerving in the road Oct. 4. The officer first began traffic enforcement on Windsor Boulevard, after someone complained of a reckless driver before and after school. In addition to getting noticed by several joggers and bicyclists, drivers honked and waived in appreciation of the officer’s patrol. When the youth sped around the corner, the officer noticed he crossed the fog line where a bicyclist had just passed 10 seconds earlier. The officer, stepped onto the road and signaled him to stop. The teen hit his breaks so hard, the officer could see the weight of the car shift to the front. The teen told the officer that he was “so sorry� and that he had only had his license a few months. At first the teen was calm, but when he learned that he was being booked for reckless driving, he began to protest. He then argued that the revving the officer heard was real, but the result of his “performance exhaust.�
Drunk in Sammamish Police arrested a woman for drunken driving after she ran her car into a median along 228th Avenue Southeast, Sammamish, popping two tires. Police first discovered her parked in the middle of the road. At first she didn’t notice the officer, and when she greeted him, she said she was on the phone with her insur-
ance agent. Smelling a waft of alcohol coming from the car, the officer began investigating her for intoxication. She admitted to having four glasses of wine and a martini a few hours before police found her Oct. 8. It was her second arrest for drunk driving.
Destructive donuts A neighbor called police after seeing a Toyota 4 Runner doing donuts on the lot of a home under development. By time the neighbor got outside to stop the driver, the SUV had left deep grooves in recently seeded soil, Oct. 11, on the 2600 block of 212th Avenue Northeast. Police checked the parking lot of a nearby high school to see if there was a vehicle that matched the description without success.
Lingerie thief Someone broke into a family’s home, only to ransack the mother’s bedroom, making off with a duffle bag of lingerie and a jewelry box Oct. 9. During the time of the burglary, the couple was away on their honeymoon. The children told her that their father, her ex-husband, had come to pick them up, but stayed outside the home the whole time on the 2260 block of Southeast 32nd Street. However, when she discovered that her journal and several sentimental items had been sorted through, she suspected her ex-husband of being responsible for the theft.
Snatch and run Two teens, about 18-years-old, were seen grabbing two 18 packs of beer and fleeing a store on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Oct. 8. Both the teens were wearing baseball hats, one red and one blue. The manager believed they were caught on video.

LETTERS WEAVER BEST FOR SCHOOL BOARD Every school district faces the double challenges of evolving education reform measures and a huge funding gap. The Issaquah School District needs school board members like Suzanne Weaver to meet these challenges. Suzanne has the education, experience and skill set to help steer the district in the right direction. She has an MBA in finance and has served as a financial analyst and controller. She is hard working, thorough, thoughtful and fair minded. She digs into the details, but never loses sight of the big picture. Suzanne’s experience is a huge asset. She was a PTA treasurer at Sunny Hills, Pine Lake Middle School and Skyline High School. She served on numerous districtwide committees. As PTSA council co-president from 2004–2006 she regularly attended School Board meetings. Suzanne was appointed to the board in January 2007 and elected to a 4-year term in November 2007. That on-the-job experience in a district with 24 schools and 16,000 students is invaluable. During Suzanne’s tenure the district has had clean state audits every year and has maintained a Moody’s AAA bond rating. Issaquah students continue to have some of the highest test scores in the state and the district continues to attract quality staff. Suzanne will work tirelessly to protect this record and find additional ways to improve the quality of our children’s education. I urge you to vote for the candidate with the most experience and a proven track record. Re-elect Suzanne Weaver. Lesley Austin, former ISD board member
BORNFREUND HAS SKILLSET FOR COUNCIL I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Jesse Bornfreund at Microsoft for four years. One of the things which impressed me about Jesse is how he always seemed to take a roomful of people, often with different agendas and very different ideas about what needed to be done, and drive them to a consensus in which everyone felt as though their ideas and approaches were being listened to, and agreed to a way forward that enabled a result. In business, that’s a critical skill, something we need more of in government, and Jesse is better at it than most of the people I’ve worked with over a very long career. When Jesse told me he was running for Sammamish City Council, I was very excited, and I thought, “that’s exactly the kind of person we need.” Sammamish is a great place to live, but like any city as young as ours, we have to have a vision we can agree on to move forward, even if we all think just a little bit differently about it. We need people on council who can drive consensus, and more importantly, push for results, not just studies, and talk, and plans with no action. We have to move forward from getting our city off the ground, which we have done, to achieving a future that will sustain our growth, and continue to make Sammamish one of the most desirable places to live, shop, play,
work and visit. Jesse’s candidacy brings a unique perspective and skillset, with a keen focus on achieving results. I wholeheartedly endorse Jesse Bornfreund for Sammamish City Council Position 6. He has my vote – I encourage you to give him yours. Bill Jacobi, Sammamish
RICHARDSON WILL LISTEN TO OTHERS I endorse Kathy Richardson to serve you on the Sammamish City Council. Kathy has helped the city with important land-use decisions and policies that affect us all. She is doing a great job, and she now serves as Vice Chairperson of the Planning Commission. I reached out to Kathy to encourage her to serve on the City Council, and she is running for one of the open positions. I believe Kathy will listen to the broad range of views from all citizens and make informed decisions that will make Sammamish an even better place to live. I encourage you to give Kathy the opportunity to serve this wonderful city by voting for her. John James, member, Sammamish City Council

I’m not sure that I understand the Sammamish City Council’s “public private partnership concept.” The council wants to build a $64 million community center, which will compete with the commercial health clubs in the area, which offer the same facilities. Then, they want to turn it over to the YMCA, which will sell memberships to Sammamish citizens to use the facility they already paid for. Of course their plan is to give citizens of Sammamish a small discount not offered to users from other areas. It should be noted that the non-profit YMCA raised $18,000,000 in a fundraiser, but decided to spend it in Shoreline and Newcastle. Why not? The YMCA already knew Sammamish was planning to provide the community center since they have employed Councilmember Michele Pettiti as director of business development on the Eastside
for the past three years. You think that’s a conflict of interest? And, as always we will pay higher taxes to fund the community center. Mayor Don Gerend has always wanted a REIT increase and Pettiti has noted that we are the only large city in Washington that doesn’t have a utility tax. Like there’s something wrong with that? I’m following this election closely. I will vote for those candidates who don’t want government competing with commercial ventures. I will vote my pocketbook. I hope the candidates with a strong sense of fiscal responsibility carry the day.

ONLINE READERS RESPOND The Rail Ahead – Light rail could make it to Issaquah in 30 years: It takes 12 years to conduct a study? What a joke. Portland has light rail all over the city, it didn’t take 40 years to do it. — from cougarmountain on Oct. 14 As much as I’ve supported light rail, Issaquah’s so far out of the Seattle urban area, it just doesn’t make sense. We need more growth closer to the core of the region, not way out in Issaquah. That’s just going to proliferate more sprawl. — from Bellevue Guru on Oct. 14 Football games to impact Plateau traffic Friday: I can’t figure out how Skyline can shut down two lanes of the major north-south road on the Plateau at rush hour on Friday so they can have their homecoming “parade.” I know it is three separate school, but why can’t these educational Einsteins compare notes on schedules. — from Steven on Oct. 12

REPORTER Q/A | Youth Eastside Services counselor Andrea “Noble” Erickson
Q
How is drug use different in the Issaquah and Sammamish than in urban areas?
A
Andrea Erickson: The first difference is in the drugs that are primarily used. Issaquah and Sammamish, like much of the Eastside, has more economic privileged, so you see a lot more of the expensive drugs, like ecstasy and club drugs. Prescriptions pills are also highly abused. They’re cleaner. They’re not cut with anything. It’s the idea that it’s made by a pharmaceutical company, so it can’t be really that dangerous. When they are abused
they are extremely potent and they are highly addictive.
party at your friend’s house, where there is likely going to be drugs. Substance use in the family – don’t mistake wealth and social success for there not being a problem in the home. Parents get prescribed a lot of pain medication for anxiety, and that’s very addictive. They have to realize that children model this behavior.
Q
How does wealth change drug use among teens?
A
A lot of parents who have wealth, work hard for it. It’s a joy for them to provide things for their kids that they couldn’t have. So I think a lot of kids get a sense of entitlement, they get away with things more easily. Along with that comes a sense of immortality. When I worked on the Plateau, I saw a lot of families that shared their wealth with their kids, but not their time. With a lot of a money, and not much to do, easy recreation comes in a pill or a pipe or a bottle.
Q
What kids are the most at risk on the Plateau?
A
On the Plateau, the risk factor I see is high stress. The expectations of academic success are very high. Stress management is not something we’re born with. It’s something we have

Andrea “Noble” Erickson to develop that we have to learn. I think adults forget that. We just expect them to be able to handle it. Also, a feeling of isolation, and that can be social isolation and family isolation. All teenagers would like to spend more time with their friends than with their family, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t need time with their families. Geographical isolation – the options for kids trying to find something fun and sober to do is really limited. If you don’t have a car and you live on the Plateau, you’re going to have a tough time finding something to do, except going to a
Q A
How do you start the conversation about drugs with your kids?
Hopefully, when they’re very young, because the way to talk to your kids about drugs is often and casually. A lot of parents have anxiety talking about these issues, and kids pick up on that. It comes up all of the time, it’s Charlie Sheen, it’s in our sports, its in our music. I recommend they start talking about it like they talk about the weather. If the kid is already a teenager, bite the bullet, try to talk about it as it comes up socially. It may be extremely awkward, and the kid might get upset at first, but keep talking about it. Not every conversation

has to come with a message. It can just be, “There is House, he’s in recovery, but he’s still got a lot of triggers.”
Q
What do you do if you find your kids doing drugs?
A
Whether you think your kids are using or not, all parents should get educated. Even if they don’t think their kids will ever use, their friends will. Set down the rules, and set them down early. It doesn’t have to be threatening, but tell them, “Just so you know, we don’t allow people to use drugs in this house. You’re not allow to drink, until you’re 21.” You have to set up the consequences before, and follow through. It’s better to air on the side of being anal retentive on your consequences than being too soft. It’s true a kid could miss curfew, because they miss every single light. If you say, “OK, that’s fine,” they know they can get off by blaming all of the red lights.
If you’re only goal as a parent is to get your kid to like you, you will be a very ineffectual parent. Give positive reinforcement when kids don’t use. Give them a hug, and say, “I’m glad you don’t use. I’m glad you choose friends that you don’t need to get drunk.” Say it often. And if your kid uses and quits, say it more often.
Q A
Do all kids try drugs or is that a misperception? That’s a misperception, but the chances are a vast majority will. At least 75 percent will have drunk alcohol before they graduate high school. When kids say everybody does it, it’s a valid perspective. It’s not a shame if you use. Addiction is a disease. The best thing to do is break that silence so that people can support each other around prevention and recovery.

A FAMILY TRADITION Third-generation QB Keegan Kemp leads Eastlake BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
K
eegan Kemp started his football career a little different than everyone else in his family, but there was never a question of where he’d end up “My first year of youth football, I was a lineman because I was a pretty good blocker,” he said. “The year after that, I started to play quarterback and never stopped.” The position change was only logical for Kemp, the grandson of former American Football League quarterback and Congressman, Jack, and son of 11-year National Football League veteran quarterback, Jeff. “I’d seen film of my grandpa and my dad playing,” Keegan said. “I honestly felt that quarterback was the coolest position to play. I liked having the ball in my hands.” Keegan, 18, is the youngest of four brothers, all Bellevue Christian students who played their youth and high school careers in the East-
lake system. He is only the second brother, however, to follow the steps of his grandpa and dad. Kory, now 24, quarterbacked at Whitworth. His other brothers, Kyle, 26, and Kolby, 21, were wide receivers at the University of San Diego and Wheaton College, respectively. “Keegan was a pretty natural quarterback from the beginning,” said Jeff, who coached all of his sons through the Greater Eastside Junior Football Association. “Leadership is a natural trait in him, so quarterback is natural too.” Now a second-year starter for the Wolves, Keegan has his team off to a perfect 7-0 start and a No. 1 ranking in the 4A classification. The 6-foot, 193-pounder has completed 62 of 103 passes (60 percent) for 947 yards, eight touchdowns and six interceptions and has also rushed 58 times for 493 yards (8.5 yards per carry) and nine TDs. The solid numbers are directly related to Keegan modeling his game after his dad — a self-described
scrapper with a good arm. On four different NFL teams — including the L.A. Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles — Jeff completed 52 percent of his passes for 6,230 yards and 39 TDs. “He’s a stronger quarterback at the high-school level than I was,” Jeff said. “The main thing I had was a strong arm and I was tough. Keegan has those two things, but he’s also a really good passer and makes plays.” Those are the traits that Eastlake head coach Gene Dales loves about his senior signal caller. “Even when things aren’t going so smoothly, like throwing the football, he’s got the ability to tuck the ball and run,” he said. “He’s so dangerous.” Perhaps the most unique thing about his quarterback, however, is that he doesn’t actually attend Eastlake. Like his brothers before him, SEE KEEGAN, 9
Eastlake, Skyline play for Crest title tonight
All the marbles are on the table at 7 p.m., tonight when undefeated Eastlake (7-0) hosts Skyline (5-2) in a regularseason finale that will decide the KingCo Crest champion. The game will likely be a shootout with two teams bring contrasting offensive styles and strengths to the field. No. 1-ranked Eastlake has 2,739 yards of total offense — averaging 254 per game on the ground. The Wolves are led by running back Ryan Lewis (1,024 yards, 16 TDs). Quarterback Keegan Kemp also provides a dual threat, completing 62 of 103 passes for 947 yards and eight TDs, while running for 493 yards and nine TDs. Skyline has 3,110 yards of total offense — averaging 342 per game through the air. Junior quarterback Max Browne has completed 75 percent of his passes for 2,148 yards (306 per game) and 24 TDs. Receivers Trevor Barney and Taggart Krueger have combined for nearly 1,000 of the passing yards and 14 TDs. The winner of tonight’s game will face KingCo Crown champion Woodinville, Thursday, Oct. 27, at Pop Keeney Stadium for the KingCo 4A Championship. The loser earns the No. 2 seed and will face the Crown No. 4 next week for the right to move onto the state-qualifying round. In five attempts since 2004, Eastlake is winless their Plateau rivals, losing by a combined score of 177-55. Skyline has won three consecutive KingCo Crest titles since 2008. For reports and photos from last week’s football games go to www.sammamishreporter.com or www.issaquahreporter.com.
Skyline soccer knocks off Issaquah Skyline overtook the top spot in the KingCo 4A girls soccer standings Tuesday, beating rival Issaquah 4-0. Brooke Bofto’s unassisted score in the 26th minute gave the Spartans a 1-0 halftime lead. Anna Deweirdt added another goal in the 46th minute, via an assist from Sydne Tingey. Jackie Wilson and Abbie Litka scored in the 53rd and 77th minutes, respectively, both on assists from Maddie Christ. Goalkeeper Tina Vargas recorded the shutout for Skyline, which improved to 7-0-1 in league and 11-0-2 overall. If the Spartans win one of their two final games they will finish as the KingCo 4A regular-season champions. Issaquah, which dropped to 6-1-2 in league and 8-4-2 overall can finish no worse than second place. If the Eagles won their final game Thursday against Garfield and Skyline loses its two games, they could still finish first. Results from Thursday occurred after The Reporter’s deadline.
Eastlake golfers take second
Issaquah fencer claims world title Wang Yung, an instructor at Issaquah-based Washington Fencing Academy, won the 2011 Veteran Fencing World Championship in saber Oct. 2 in Porec, Croatia. It was the first world championship for the nine-time national team member. Yung faced competition in the men’s 60-69 division that included several established fencers. He defeated three-time World Champion and an eight-time European Champion, Richard Cohen, 9-7, in the championship match. Yung also coached two students, Ellen O’Leary and Jane Eyre, who took home silver medals for the United States.

The Wolves earned 45.25 points, finishing only behind Woodinville’s 53.25. Eastlake advanced three golfers and one alternate through to the 4A state tournament May 22-23 at a site to be determined. Sophomore Spencer Weiss led the way for the Wolves, placing sixth overall with a two-day total of 77-75—152. Junior Li Wang fought back from a rough 8-over par 80 in the KingCo tournament, shooting a 1-over par, 73 for a twoday total of 153 and eighth place.

According to Dales, that doesn’t impact his performance in the area he considers Keegan’s strongest — leadership. “When he talks the kids listen because they know he’s going to give everything he’s got all the time,� Dales said. Wide receiver Aaron DiGenova, who has played with Keegan the last six years, agreed. “He holds himself to a high standard and I think the whole team responds to that,� he said.

son when Bellevue Christian decided to start a football program for the first time. Playing within the Eastlake program since he was 8, Keegan’s senior season could have been in jeopardy. He said BCS athletic director Mark DeJonge sat him down, explained the scenario and offered to even hold the new program back a year if it was going to cause him to miss his final season at Eastlake. “That was just great and really nice of him,� Keegan said. “I really appreciated that.� Fortunately, for the Kemps, Eastlake and Bellevue Christian School, Keegan was allowed to continue under a grandfather clause. “Everyone’s been great about
it,â€? said Keegan, noting he tries to watch BCS games when he can. “I’m just really happy for my friends over there, who for most of them, are getting to experience football for the first time.â€? As for the Eastlake squad, Keegan couldn’t be more optimistic about the possibilities. The Wolves have outscored opponents 301-86 headed into this Friday’s regular-season finale against Skyline — a game that will determine the KingCo Crest title with the winner moving onto the KingCo Championship. “I’ve been Eastlake varsity team three years now ‚Ĝ and it feels different this year,â€? Keegan said. “There’s just a great togetherness in the group of guys. It’s a great feeling in practice, in films

and on game day.� Admittedly, thoughts of a state championship linger, but Keegan said the team is focused on a one game at a time approach. As for what comes after the season, Keegan would love nothing more than to continue in the footsteps of his dad and brothers. As an undersized quarterback, smaller Division II and Division III schools have recruited him. He chuckled at the idea of following his dad’s long-shot path from Dartmouth College to a free-agent call-up in the NFL, noting he wouldn’t turn the offer down, but it’s highly unlikely. “I just want to be able to play four more years of football,� Keegan said, smiling. “It’s my favorite thing to do.�

INSURANCE FOR BEGINNERS
Planning to sell your business and financially retire? Here’s the Bullet Point Approach By Bill Pearsall
T
I
T DOESN’T MATTER if every penny is pinched. A calamity can arrive unannounced and wipe out any family’s financial security. The only way to ensure protection is to start paying attention to the invisible risks that could lie ahead.
he publisher said, “Tell us everything you know about planning to sell but tell it in less than 500 words and don’t use a lot of syllables.� After the first 1,000 words I decided, Bullet Points are the answer. Not all the answers but some thought starters.
It’s not easy, though, to get a focus on the insurance protection a family really needs – and can afford.
Years, Dollars or Business Goals? Define your objectives. “I’ll sell when I’m 60 or when I have enough bread to retire or when I’m number one in the state.� Then ask yourself, “If I had the dollars now, would I care about the years or the business goals?�

LIFE INSURANCE
Even the financially unsophisticated have heard about life insurance, an insurance policy that pays a sum to a spouse, or provides for children or other dependents should one suddenly pass away. In fact, that’s the central reason to buy life insurance: to replace the income dependents would need.
Visit the Social Security website at www.ssa.gov/disability to learn more about disability programs.
LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE
“Term� life policies are the least expensive, which is why it’s often the choice of young adults who have responsibilities, such as kids and a mortgage, but not a lot of extra cash. The premiums for term life insurance only pay out should you die during the specified period.
In our aging society, nearly everyone knows someone who needs years of nursing care, which can quickly put a drain on life savings. Fortunately, as long-term care needs become more prevalent, insurers are offering more way to insure against the cost.
“Permanent� life insurance pegs a portion of each premium payment as savings, which the insured can borrow against – or in some instances, withdraw from – to pay for certain expenses.
The cost of long-term care plan varies, depending on the amount of coverage and whether home, assisted-living and nursing care are included.
Permanent insurance comes in two main types: Whole and universal. Premiums for whole life policies tend to stay level, while premiums for universal policies allow you to elect to pay certain minimums, with a lesser investment build-up over time.
BLENDING HEALTH INSURANCE AND SAVINGS
DISABILITY INCOME INSURANCE
Death is certain. But none of us know whether an accident or serious illness will prevent us from working for a prolonged period.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, 43 percent of workers between ages 40 and 65 will suffer a disability that causes an earnings disruption of at least 90 days. The Social Security system has a disability benefit program and many lower income workers depend on this.
Paying for health insurance and saving are two of the biggest financial challenges families face. If you purchase a high-deductible health insurance plan – either on your own or through your employer – you may qualify for a health savings accounts, paying less for premiums and building savings. Briefly, because deductibles are high – for 2010 and 2011 it’s at least $2,400 for families – monthly premiums are lower. An employee can contribute to a tax-advantaged savings account and tap it to pay the deductible when needed or keep on saving, perhaps for retirement health expenses. CTW Features

A properly prepared business will draw well over a hundred inquiries and less than ten will be qualified.

An Estate Plan‌
A LIVING WILL A living will or advance medical directive spells out wishes regarding life support or medical intervention and care. For someone in a coma who does not want to be kept alive on life support, a living will spells that out. A health care proxy names a person to carry out those wishes. A lawyer can create this document. Keep signed, witnessed copies at home; give signed copy to those entrusted to make decisions.
Who, Me?
You don’t need to live in a fancy house in a gated community to have an estate. Establishing a solid financial plan, with documents that govern what you own and bequeath, is key to moving ahead in life with confidence and security.
P
EOPLE TEND TO delay or avoid estate planning as though drafting a will might somehow hasten their demise. But thought of another way, estate planning actually prolongs one’s presence among the living. An estate plan allows for calling shots from the grave. The value of property at the time of its owner’s death is an estate. Estate planning begins by taking inventory of someone’s assets, including investments, retirement saving, insurance policies, real estate and business interests, and then deciding to who these assets should go. Individuals also must decide who should handle financial and medical affairs if they are incapacitated and ask if they’ll serve as financial and health care power of attorney, respectively. It’s smart to work with a qualified lawyer to create the legal documents that govern the process of protecting the estate and passing along assets as planned. Take time to get educated on the basics before choosing a professional and sit-
ting down to work on a plan.
A WILL The centerpiece of a comprehensive estate plan is a will. The reason a will is important, regardless of net worth is so assets go to the right people, says Alexandra Armstrong, certificated financial planner with the Washington, D.C. based investment advisory firm Armstrong, Fleming & Moore. Die without one, and in most cases each state applies its standard formula to decide who gets what, without regard to wisher or the needs of heirs.
A LETTER OF INSTRUCTION A letter of instruction to survivors includes bequests not specified in the will, including sentimentally valuable possessions like Grandma’s china and the oil painting over the mantel. Here’s where to communicate to family members the type of memorial service wanted, including ‘in lieu of flowers’ specifications and wishes to be cremated or buried.
Because of strict privacy rules that govern doctors and hospitals set for the by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. A HIPAA waiver also should be considered. This lets people name individuals with whom health care providers can discuss conditions and care. Unlike a power of attorney, folks named in the waiver are not entitled to make medical decisions on someone else’s behalf.
POWER OF ATTORNEY A durable power of attorney names a person to act on an individual’s behalf in financial matters: investing money, signing checks, selling real estate. Keep a signed copy handy and give on to the person designated.
A TRUST In some cases, individuals decide to create a trust, which puts conditions on how and when assets will be distributed. Trusts are designed to achieve different
goals. Often, they allow the wealthiest among us to reduce estate taxes. They can also be used to hold money for underage children; provide care for disabled children; or equalize inheritances. A financial adviser can help determine whether it makes sense to set up a trust.
Keep in mind that retirement accounts such as IRA and 401k plans, have designated beneficiaries apart from what it says in someone’s will. So it’s important to review and amend these accounts periodically - along with a will, pensions plans and life insurance policies – especially if marital status changes.
A rainy day fund of three to six months’ expenses is also a key component of an estate plan. Settling an estate doesn’t happen overnight and meanwhile a surviving spouse needs something to live on, a cash reserve to carry them through.
A final and crucial step in estate planning is assembling pertinent documents and making sure a survivor is aware of and has access to them.
You’d be surprised by the number of life insurance policies that are issued but never paid because the survivors don’t even know they exist. Keep original documents in a bank safe deposit box and a set of copies at home. It’s important to designate a signatory who is authorized to unlock the box in the event we die; otherwise, a court order must be obtained. CTW Features

“Making Retirement Work in An Up or Down Market‌â€? Let’s begin our discussion looking at the 3 basic investment questions folks near retirement typically ask.
Principle #2 - Taxes are Likely Your Biggest Retirement Risk
1) Do I have enough money to last as long as I do? 2) Are my investments appropriate for retirement? 3) How do I take money out of my accounts to provide an ample income?
Since everyone’s situation is different I can’t give specific investment advice here, but there are four important principles that we can apply in answering those questions.
Principle #1 - You Can’t Invest Just for Income
Advisors talk about two phases of investing; accumulation while working and distribution during retire-
Your investment goal should be a portfolio that is growing by at least the inflation rate after you’ve taken out what you need for retirement income, in order to provide future incomes that keep up with the ever increasing cost of living.
BY RAY EADS
ment. At retirement, the goal and strategies change from growth to income. Today people are likely to live much longer than they anticipate. Forget whatever the life expectancy number is; instead look at the IRS chart for mandatory distributions from an IRA. It says that for a 70 year old couple, one of them is likely to be taking IRA withdrawals at age 97. That’s a 30 year retirement and 20 years past life expectancy. Even with a modest inflation rate, the cost of living could more than double during retirement. So, your portfolio needs to have a growth component.
Many retirees are going to forfeit 2030% of their investment returns every year to the IRS. That loss, however, can be reduced with proper planning. People should consider things like spending principle. It’s tax free. An immediate annuity, for example, provides a consistent and guaranteed income that is nearly income tax free, by distributing both principle and interest over the life of the policy. Also consider spending already taxed investment like a CD and delaying as long as possible taking income from tax-deferred accounts like an IRA or deferred annuity. Spend taxable accounts first and let tax-deferred accounts grow. Remember, you’ll need growth to provide that larger income later. I’ve seen people who take money out of their IRAs and let bank accounts accumulate which means they are unnecessarily paying taxes on both and are consequently pushed into a higher tax bracket.
Principle #3 – Lifestyle Choices Make an Impact
Too often we look just at the money side and ignore the really important question of, “What do I want my life in retirement to look like?� It’s only after you have a clear picture of what you want retirement to look like that you can figure out what it’s going to cost and consequently how to structure your investment portfolio. Also, look at your retirement budget and decide which expenses are mandatory, like the utility bill, and which are discretionary, like a Hawaiian cruise. Discretionary expenses can usually be put off until a year that your investments perform particularly well.
Principle #4 - Leaving a Legacy/ Inheritance Changes Everything If it’s not important to you, follow the advice from the bumper sticker that says, “Spend your kid’s inheritance.� If it is important to you, you need to plan accordingly. Some people make provisions in their wills while others make gifts during their lifetime. It’s just something that you need to think about because if could affect your retirement income.
It’s always about planning. Ray Eads is an Accredited Investment Fiduciary with Wealth Management Northwest, Inc., in Lynnwood. He can be reached at (425) 672-1003 or ray @wealth-nw.com. Securities offered through KMS Financial Services, Inc. member FINRA & SIPC

Making Sure Your Business Continues If You Do Not Business continuity planning is a means of handling a variety of transfer events and consequences that impact the business and the remaining, or new, owner(s) when you, the original owner dies. It is about preserving and protecting the business and your legacy. Succession is the most obvious problem facing a company but it is only one of four vital issues. BY ALLAN VANDERHAMM
CONTINUITY OF BUSINESS OWNERSHIP This is the critical issue in a solelyowned company. In fact, there is no continuity unless you take steps to create a future owner or ownership group. For multi-owner companies, continuity of ownership is not an issue when signed owner transfer agreements are in place and funded with life insurance. To ensure continuity, create and implement a written plan to allow the business to continue after you are gone. Do everything you can to prevent key employees from leaving because they are indispensable to the business’s continued existence. If you are a multiowner company, be sure there is an up-to-date, adequately funded buy/sell agreement for the remaining owners to acquire your interest in the business.
COMPANY’S LOSS OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES If you are a principal source of funding for your multi-owner company, your unexpected absence can put enormous pressure on the business to perform or face the risk of third parties refusing to lend or make guarantees on behalf of the company. For a sole owner, the business may not survive despite a plan. An owner’s sudden death or incapacity can cause other stakeholders such as banks, bonding companies, and leasing companies to discontinue their relationships. These challenges can best be met in two ways. First, use life insurance to fund for the anticipated need. Second, start now to develop successor management. Motivate them with current and deferred cash and/or ownership should something happen to you. The only way to make the business continue without you is to make the business be more than just you.
LOSS OF KEY TALENT – YOU
Your talents, experience, relationships with customers, employees and vendors may be quite difficult to replace. Without planning, few businesses have the finances or successor management to weather this storm.
To overcome this risk you must create value now, within the company and distinct from you, capable of filling the void left by your unexpected departure. In a co-owned business the loss of an owner is not as drastic, provided your co-owner(s) can carry on without you. If not, train employees now to perform the same, or parts of the same, roles as you.
LOSS OF EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS
A common consequence of an owner’s unexpected departure is the speedy emigration of employees and customers. When the workforce leaves, contracts cannot be completed and are breached, work is unperformed and creditors call in their paper. Only preplanning provides a chance to preempt these scenarios. Employees must know that a plan exists that guarantees their compensation and clearly names your successor. With these assurances, most employees and customers will stay with the company.
CONCLUSION
In order to survive your demise, your company must have adequate cash, which is almost always subsidized by insurance on your life, to survive. In the short run, money is required to effect a buy-out, provide capitalization, replace your balance sheet with respect to lenders, and provide cash incentives to entice your employees to stay. In the long run, a successful business is one you can either sell for top dollar and exit in style, or one that can survive, in style, your exit.

A House of Fashion for local designer Sammamish woman recharges her career after kids old enough for school BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Sharon Donohoe Gillin is cute and petite, with an eye for fashion. After a 15-year break, three years ago she started designing and making her own original clothing line called Ishka, which is Irish for “water.” During her break from fashion, her creative juices were still flowing, as she worked as an interior designer in Dublin, Ireland, her native country. Microsoft, where her husband works, transferred the couple and their four children to Sammamish six years ago. “I design with everyone in mind,” Donohoe Gillin said. “All ages, all sizes.” It was when her youngest child entered kindergarten that she decided to design and sew again. She showed a collection to friends and neighbors, building up a clientele in Sammamish, Issaquah and the Eastside. Her designs are soft flowing lines, with draping and gathering, using her signature fabric of soft lightweight rayon or silk jersey knit, sometimes accented with faux fur. She has fitted leggings, dresses, palazzo pants, tanks, shorts, jackets and tops in her collection. Now her designs are being shown and sold at the House of Fashion at 113 Virginia Street in downtown Seattle. Opened in July, the House of Fashion is “a local design incubator with a retail showroom that concentrates on creating opportunities for local talent in the fashion industry,” according to their brochure. Eddie Kim, manager and marketing representative of the House of Fashion, which is now showing the lines of four designers, said Donohoe Gillin’s line is selling very well. Donohoe Gillin does 99 percent of her
own sewing, but the House of Fashion has a seamstress on staff if any of the designers get in a bind, for example, before a show. Price points on Donohoe Gillin’s clothes are extremely reasonable for original designs. Dresses are under $150, jackets are no more than $175, and dressy tops are around $85. She plans to move into a cashmere jersey that will be a higher price point, but even with the more expensive fabrics, she plans to keep prices between $200 and $400. House of Fashion owner and designer Marta Kappl’s line is much more expensive, tailored and beautiful. There’s something for everyone with the lines on display. So why fashion for Donohoe Gillin? “I like to have something different for myself, and to dress up my friends and make them look great,” she said. “And I love creating. I’ve always crocheted or knitted — since I was 5 or 6.” She and all of the designers at the House of Fashion source their fabric from the United States. It is very important to them for their clothing to be “made in the USA.” And mass production is not the way any of them want to go. Donohoe Gillin expressed her frustration with celebritybacked lines like the Kardashians and Jennifer Lopez, when she knows darn well it’s a team of designers doing the work, not the celebrity who puts their name on the pieces that are then mass-produced in China. “I don’t want to bump into me,” Donohoe Gillin said. “I don’t want to see the same thing on everyone.” Kim said they welcome new talented designers at House of Fashion. If you have a line to show off, call 425- 753-8662. For more information on Ishka, contact Donohoe Gillin at sgillin@mac.com. Linda Ball can be reached at 206-2321215 ext. 5052.

Wooden Pacificlogging tram found way to move logs Signs of ingenious solution still visible BY THOMAS ANDERSON All aboard the Wooden Pacific! Actually, unless you were a log, you wouldn’t have been welcome to board the “Wooden Pacific.� It was a special tramcar system for bringing logs down the steep slopes of Tiger Mountain to the mill at High Point. It was called the “Wooden Pacific� because the tramcars ran on rails made of wooden poles about 10 inches in diameter (rather than steel rails). Stationary steam donkey engines were used to convey the tramcars up and down the steep slopes utilizing cables and pulleys. The grade of the route ranged from 10-40 percent – far too steep for conventional railroads. Cog railroads were sometimes used for such steep-slope applications, but were much more costly than the Wooden Pacific approach. Necessity is the mother of invention, and the loggers of yesteryear, when confronted with the problem of getting those logs down the mountain, came up with this ingenious solution. This “Wooden Pacific� name was a pun on the name of the “Northern Pacific� railway spur that served the High Point Mill in those days. This spur was part of what was the Seattle Lake Shore and Eastern Railway that was first brought to Issaquah and High Point in 1888. Northern Pacific bought the SLS&E in 1896, and served the High Point mill during the years of the Wooden Pacific (1915 to 1928). At the peak of its operation, the Wooden Pacific was comprised of three segments which extended a total of 12,000 lineal feet up Tiger Mountain (about 2.3 miles). The first segment of about 5,000 feet extended from the mill pond (now covered by I-90) up the mountain to about the elevation of 1,000 feet. From there, the middle segment took it another 4,500 feet to a landing that intersected with the West Tiger Railroad grade (at about 1,900 feet of elevation). The upper segment took the line another 2,500 feet, nearly to the summit of West Tiger Mountain. I have a special interest in the Wooden Pacific as my grandfather, Thomas Lee, worked in the 1920s operating a steam donkey engine on the line. He had lost his left hand in an accident in the High Point Mill, so his job as steam engineer may have been a practical job assignment in accom-

You can still see remnants of the old Wooden Pacific on the northern slope of Tiger Mountain above High Point. The “High Point Trail� roughly follows the route of the old tramway. At the starting point of the High Point Trail is the most substantial and enduring artifact from the Wooden Pacific.

If you examine the underside of the old bridge on the side toward the mountain, you will see numerous grooves worn into the concrete which are the telltale marks left by the steel cables used to lower the tramcars down the mountain – cables that were stretched to the donkey engine 5,000 feet up the mountain slope. Those cables left an indelible signature of a remarkable logging operation that we can observe 90 years later.

Bellevue College to partner with Year Up training program Goal is to help urban youth get jobs Bellevue College and Year Up Puget Sound have partnered to provide college credits to urban youth completing Year Up’s one year IT training program. Year Up is a national nonprofit organization that provides IT career training to urban young adults and helps them secure internships with U.S. companies. Successful completion of the intensive, one-year program enables graduates to move into full-time employment and higher education. Year Up has nine sites across the United States; their Puget Sound location opened in March 2011. “Year Up has a stellar reputation for solid IT training, strong life skills components and outstanding employment and education outcomes,” said said Darlene Molsen, Associate Dean of Workforce Education. At Bellevue College, Workforce Education provides training opportunities for low income, under/unemployed individuals, will lead the partnership for the college. Staff in the Workforce Education office are providing admissions, registration, financial aid and college planning services to Year Up students to assist with the transition to college once their Year Up training is complete. Year Up students who successfully complete the required course work can receive up to 20 college credits for their Year Up training and internship. Over the next few months BC staff will bring employment related workshops to Year Up students, help students identify the next steps on their career path and begin enrolling students who are accepted into the second Year Up class.
Job skills fair set for Nov. 12 A job skills fair aimed at youth hopes to help those age 16-24 get their first jobs Nov. 12 at Eastridge Church. The fair will offer workshops on resume writing, interviewing and how to use social media to find work. Visit isfdn.org/yjsf for information on how to preregister. )

Traveling in Europe, Sammamish resident Jan Lawrence noticed an interesting trend: People take more time to savor the moment – whether it’s on a leisurely stroll or treating oneself to an espresso and croissant in the morning. The cafes throughout Eu-
rope stay open all day, offering breakfast in the morning, lunch and then dinner and wine offerings at night. Nine months ago, these European customs inspired Lawrence to open ViaVita – a cafe, restaurant and wine bar in downtown Bellevue. Here, the music is never blaring, to allow for conversation.

world floods through floorto-ceiling windows – a solo diner can look outside instead of at a book. Even the menu is “in the moment,” changing with whatever is in season. Lawrence, who formerly worked for a company that did construction downtown Bellevue high-rises, also was motivated by downtown Bellevue’s fast-paced city life. “People needed a place to slow down,” she said. As Lawrence put it, she’s created her own Italian Piatzza in Bellevue, with influences from Spain and France, too, from the menu offerings to the Spanish-style bar. With only eight seats and a semi-circle shape, the bar allows for a person to talk to his or her date face-to-face, as opposed to side-to-side. For lunch, try one of

French food purists will also love that escargot and frog legs with white wine, garlic, tomato, parsley and brown butter sauce are offered for $13. “People typically assume that French cuisine means they have to spend a lot of money,” said Lawrence, who’s tried to balance her menu with upscale, yet more affordable offerings. A diner could get three small plates, plus a glass of wine, for $30 or less. Here, Lawrence aims to move away from the “big-box” restaurants and chains, putting her heart, as she puts it, in creating a comfortable atmosphere and adding in all the little details that matter.

Racing to understand autism
I want you to touch a dead cow’s eyeball! That was one of the tasks performed by participants in The Adventure Race to Understand Autism that took place in Sammamish on Sept. 13.
Justin McComber (cemter) stands with people who participated in the race. COURTESY PHOTO were hosted by Rancho Grande Mexican Restaurant where participants learned about the autistic love of carbohydrates, and various dietary concerns. They got to eat yummy chips and salsa. From G2 sports therapy, people learned about vestibular therapy to help those living with autism center themselves by spinning. This kind of activity helps them feel the boundaries of their own body, focus and utilize balance. At Safeway, participants were asked to purchase three cans of food for the food bank. Many people with special needs require some assistance to support
their life from the agency. Over 150 pounds of food was collected for Northwest Harvest. Dr. Kais’s office at Plateau Chiropractic, Pacific Bicycle, Radio Shack, Pine Lake Covenant Church, Iskon Vedic Center and Evergreen Christian Fellowship Church also donated their facilities to help people learn about living with autism. Heather Miller from Emerald Heights Academy was the station manager located at the Deer Statue in Saffron. She helped runners learn sign language. It’s one of the ways my brother, Gregory, uses to communicate since for 17 years he has not been able to speak. Participants

met Gregory and four other children living with autism at a station dedicated to ABA therapy (Applied Behavioral Analysis). Runners watched volunteers like Kristin Smith demonstrate and then participated with Gregory or one of the children in the activity themselves. Almost 80 runners had a chance to warm up to Sammamish’s own Dauz Brother’s Band. Spectator’s enjoyed the bouncy house donated by Fun Rents and other activities manned by Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 509. Participants rode adaptive bicycles provided by Outdoors For All and were taught an Indian dance by Geetika Mukkamala to help runners understand the difficulty we all can share with people dealing with autism in developing gross motor skills. Decoding clues to find the locations helped runners understand the challenge of decoding the confusing stimuli received by those living with autism. The Flindt brothers, Michael and Grant, two cross-country stars from Eastlake High School and Inglewood Junior High, finished first place winning the trip for two to Victoria, British Columbia, donated by Clipper Vacations.

Then they actually had to touch it. Reading this, did you squirm? Grimace? Perhaps your shoulders shook and you had to wiggle your fingers to shed the excess stimulation overload at such a thing. Then Nicole Turner, the station manager at this site in my Eagle Project, would explain that the color orange, or a smell, a voice pitch, the rush of a car driving by could overload the neurological system of a person living with autism. We all share the behavior; what triggers it is the difference. Now that the race is over the businesses of Sammamish who helped support this activity can finally be disclosed.

Editor’s Note: Justin McOmber’s Eagle Scout project was designed to teach people about autism, a condition faced by his brother, Gregory. Participants had to decipher 13 different clues, each leading to a station over a three- to four-mile circuit to teach them about autism. Here’s how Justin described the day.

They attend church with Gregory at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where Gregory always wears a blanket to shield out extra sound and light. Their costume was tied on baby blankets to be super Gregory’s for the race. Wearing a costume helped participants understand the isolated feeling and sometimes strange looks a person living with autism deals with in being so different. Third prize of a gift certificate to Ristorante Simone went to Kristine Hall and Tanya Platt dressed as ballerinas. Best photo went to Derek and Holly Jones. Best costume went to Dave and Suzanne Huey. My main goal in this project was to raise awareness and empathy for people like my brother, but the race also raised almost 7,000 dollars so far for Autism Speaks. Everything was donated for the event including food from QFC, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Blazin Bagels, Safeway, Albertsons, and Costco. All of the proceeds went to help locally to find a cure and helping those living with autism.

Timebank lets people exchange services for free, build community REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
When Margaret Schwender broke her ankle a few months ago, she couldn’t cook, clean or take care of other household chores that needed to be done. But rather than sit around and watch her post-injury to-do list grow, she utilized
the Eastside Timebank to complete these normally easy tasks. “It was a blessing because (my injury) was around Easter time and I couldn’t put away my Easter decorations,� said Schwender, a Kirkland resident. The timebank encompasses individuals, businesses and organizations

side cities, Executive Director Joan Eads said members do not necessarily need to be from these cities, adding that they have members from Woodinville, Bothell and Renton as well. However Eads, who lives in Lake Forest Park, said living outside of the three main cities may make it difficult because most exchanges take place at people’s homes and people are less inclined to travel further distances. There are about 95 members in Eastside Timebank, Eads said. With the economic recession, many people are
unemployed or underemployed and Eads said there is large pool of untapped talent in the region. Eastside Timebank was formed to address the struggles people were facing during the economic recession, but also to help build a stronger community, according to Eads. It was this idea that also caught Ed Mills’ interest. The Bellevue resident really liked the communitybuilding aspect and the idea of connecting with others. He said with exchanges and monthly potlucks, local residents have the opportunity to meet new people
