New Neighbors Issaquah, Sammamish joined with Wenatchee, Chelan in Eighth Congressional District BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Seattle’s Eastside may not have much in common with rural Chelan, a tourist town marked by summer homes and a worldclass lake, but a new congressional redistricting plan puts the two under the same congressman. For decades the Cascade Mountain range has divided the state’s districts, but when a commission discovered it needed to bring more than 150,000 voters into a Western Washington district, the logical choice was along I-90. “I’m kind of surprised we broke the Cas-
cade curtain, but it had to be done,” said the Chelan Mayor, Robert Goedde. Eastern Washington’s conservative voters were also a natural fit for the Eighth District, which is held by Republican Rep. Dave Reichert. The change strengthens his district. “I think it will all melt together,” Goedde said. The change comes with the Eighth completely letting go of Bellevue and taking on all of Auburn. With 70,000 people, Auburn is now the largest city in the district. Even though Issaquah residents tend to be more liberal, like their Eastside neighbors, it won’t affect them much, because their congressman won’t change, said Ava Frisinger, the Issaquah mayor. On a federal level, the east and west sides of Snoqualmie Pass have much in common, such as the need for more jobs, she said. Both regions butt up against wilderness, care about the purity of their lakes and have an interest in outdoor recreation.
Communities east of Auburn also care as much about maintaining their family farms as Wenatchee cares for its apple orchards, Reichert said. The cities, however, have staunchly different approaches to transportation. Issaquah is vying for light rail in the next 30 years, while Wenatchee is still trying to get SEE DISTRICT, 10
Prosecutors believe the people behind the Sammamish Christmas-Day burglary, as well as four other local breakins, were also dealing meth and heroine from their Klahanie apartment. Among other allegations, Nickolas R. Pogue, 35, and Nicole Byrd, 33, were charged with possession of stolen property and a third suspect is expected to face charges in the next week. Sammamish made a connection to the burglaries during a stake out at a known drug house on the 3800 block of Klahanie Drive Southeast. Police pulled over a man who left the house, knowing he had a suspended license, and found a slingshot ball bearing in his front pocket. It matched those used in the Christmas burglary. Police also found two baggies filled with jewelry in the man’s front pockets. The Reporter doesn’t name suspects who have not been charged. The suspect told police that there was stolen property in the apartment and that Byrd once bragged about dealing two pounds of drugs a week, according to the charging papers. During the search of the apartment, police found about 34 grams of meth and heroine combined and about 60 prescription narcotic pills, stowed away in a make-up bag covered in peace signs, hearts and flowers, according to the papers. Police also recovered two handguns and a $900 pair of Prada boots from the home, according to the papers. Officers then searched Pogue’s storage SEE POLICE, 14

Magendanz to run for Legislature BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The president of the Issaquah School Board plans to run for the Legislature this year, following the announcement that Rep. Glenn Anderson won’t seek reelection. Chad Magendanz has been on the Issaquah board since 2008, where he dealt with a slough of cuts from state lawmakers. The move would put him Chad Magendanz in a place to have a better say on those cuts. He started up his campaign with the announcement Thursday with the focus to “jumpstart education and jobs.� “I see challenges to our cherished way of life in unsustainable government spend-
ing, the decline of our schools, the overregulation of our businesses and everyday erosion of constitutional rights,� he said in a press release. A father of two students, Magendanz saw the Issaquah School District through $16 million in state cuts. For the past three years the board has won numerous state awards for its work. He served on numerous other citizen and legislative education committees, including the PTA. A Cornell graduate, he works as a freelance software design consultant for Microsoft, Nike and Panasonic. He once served in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear submarine officer. Married for 22 years, he’s a Tiger Mountain resident, and avid conservationist, outdoorsman and a GOP precinct committee officer.

Hello Wenatchee, goodbye Bellevue Redistricting gives us new neighbors
A
s Issaquah and Sammamish residents enter the new year, the top of their “To Do” will have to include the following: Find something in common with people in Wenatchee and Chelan. Thanks to redistricting, our Eighth Congressional District now spreads east across the mountains. So much for the Cascade Curtain being a dividing line. The change also means saying goodbye to our friends in Bellevue and Mercer Island. The change comes because the state is required to balance the population in congressional districts following the census every 10 years. The state also picked up an additional district because of population growth. The change won’t affect who represents us for now. Dave Reichert continues to represent the Eighth District but who knows who he might face in the November election. There’s another twist to these redrawn congressional districts. It doesn’t affect Issaquah or Sammamish, but it’s interesting nonetheless. The 9th district (which now includes Bellevue and Mercer Island, along with southeast Seattle and cities such as Tukwila and Des Moines) is the state’s first where minorities represent a majority of the population, 50.3 percent actually. How that will play out is anybody’s guess.
A senseless death
T
he death of Margaret Anderson is both a shock and a tragedy. Anderson, a U.S. Park Ranger at Mt. Rainier National Park, was gunned down Sunday after she had set a roadblock to stop a car being pursued after failing to stop at a chain-up checkpoint. She died doing a job co-workers say she loved doing. The driver of the car, Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, fled the scene, but not before also firing on a cruiser being driven by Ranger Dan Camiccia, who was in pursuit of Barnes. Barnes was pursued by hundreds of law-enforcement officers and died of exposure from the weather. Like the National Park Service, we are stunned by the news. While Rangers juggle a host of duties in our national parks, they are mostly thought of as being there to help visitors and help search for lost and injured hikers. We forget that they also are the front-line of law enforcement in our parks. Only eight other rangers have been killed in the line of duty at our national parks. Anderson’s was the first such death at Mt. Rainier. Park Rangers are said to be taking the loss personally. We, too, grieve the senseless loss of a dedicated public servant.

Making a return home
O
nly recently, my home town of Carnation put in its first stoplight. My mom grew up in the tiny farming town and after my dad retired from the Marines, we came to the Pacific Northwest from Marietta, Ga., to be closer to family and help take care of my great grandmother. I was eight years old and I hated it (the move, not my great grandmother). When my parents told me we were moving across the country, I knew it meant leaving all the friends I had made and the only life I had known. The reality of Josh Suman the situation hit me as our route through the South and up the “Left” Coast materialized. Eventually, the memories of the Peach State faded and at some point, my identity became about where I was instead of where I used to be. But when high school finished, I still wanted to get out of the small town I felt I had outgrown. After all, how could I possibly live my dreams from within the clamped reaches of the Snoqualmie Valley? What was left for me in a town without a stoplight?
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK College took me to Oregon and it was an amazing experience in another of our region’s diverse and eclectic cities. But after four years of long drives home for holidays and only seeing my parents a few times a year, the allure of the Puget Sound beckoned. After living in Everett for the past two years, the beckoning became an outright command. And this time, it was coming from even closer to home. In a little under six weeks, my fiancee and I will move into our new home on a piece of land that has everything we have longed for, for longer than we even knew. It has a mammoth fenced yard for our two Jack Russell Terriers to run out any hint of “cabin fever,” enough bedrooms to host out-of-town guests and all the prospects of a shimmering future. And to think, I found it all in a town with only a single stoplight. I’ll soon call Carnation home – again. Josh Suman covers sports for the Bellevue and Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter newspapers.

Help your child get along with others We’ve all been there. Your young son or daughter’s lack of social skills makes you cringe and maybe even worry a little bit. Will this child ever stop hitting and learn to “play well with others�? Fact is, preschoolers are naturally self-centered, and the ability to share, listen, compromise Maria Chavez-Wilcox and problem-solve doesn’t always come easily. Youngsters need coaching, modeling, experience – and yes, trial and error – to develop these abilities. As a parent, you are your child’s first and most influential guide and role model. If you consistently treat others with kindness and respect, chances are good your children will, too.
At some point, of course, growing human beings need to be allowed to develop their own personalities and work out their own social problems. But in the meantime, here are some strategies parents can use to help their children get along in the world: t 1MBZ HBNFT 8IFUIFS PO B CPBSE or on the playground, games force children to take turns, play fair, follow rules and handle conflict. t 0ODF ZPVS DIJME JT PME FOPVHI have them join a team.

TEETH CLEANING
One theme that has emerged from the Penn State sexual abuse scandal is the importance of adults taking responsibility for reporting suspicions about child abuse to the proper authorities. But many adults are unsure about what they see or where to report it. So what do we do if we feel something is amiss? “Trust your gut,� says Director of Youth and Family Counseling at Youth Eastside Services, Debbi Halela. Patti Skelton-McGougan “If something doesn’t feel right, or your child is exhibiting unusual behaviors, don’t ignore it.�
Empower children To help your child avoid being a victim, be sure to talk about appropriate and inappropriate touching. And teach children refusal skills so they know it’s OK to say “no� to an adult if they feel uncomfortable. Encourage children to talk with a trusted adult if someone makes them feel uncomfortable, touches them in appropriately, or tries to coerce them. Oftentimes children are more at ease talking to someone other than their parents, so experts recommend asking them to tell you three people they could talk to. Offer prompts if needed, such as, “What about your teacher or Aunt Suzy?� Tell them if the first adult didn’t seem to understand, talk to one of the other adults. Be sure not to minimize what your child—or any child—shares with you.
What to watch for Debbi says there are a variety of symptoms when a child has experienced sexual abuse. In general, if your child has significant changes in behavior, a decline in typical functioning, or other signs of distress, consult a professional such as a counselor or your family physician. For a complete list of signs to watch for in children and teens, as well as warning signs in adult abusers, visit StopItNow.org.
How to report Knowledge and awareness are the first weapons in the fight against sexual abuse. At YES we have counselors specially trained in helping children and their families identify and overcome the trauma of sexual abuse. And in Washington state, we have a toll-free reporting number, 1-866-363-4276. Remember you don’t need absolute proof to talk with someone about your suspicions. You may be offering one piece of a puzzle that helps avoid future tragedies, like the ones in recent news stories. Patti Skelton-McGougan is executive director of Youth Eastside Services.

Issaquah boys grab Oregon tournament title The Issaquah boys basketball team finished 2011 with a bang last Friday, beating one of Oregon’s top teams, Western Albany, 61-55 for the Oregon Les Schwab Holiday Tournament Championship. The Eagles battled back and forth with the Bulldogs before Ryan Sexton’s three-pointer gave Issaquah a five-point lead with 1:15 left to go.

With the impending shift to a grades 6-8 and 9-12 alignment for middle and high schools respectively in the Lake Washington School District coming in 2012, district principals have worked to create changes in the middle school athletics model. Goals included maintaining a developmentally appropriate program that is equitable among schools, ensures a variety of sports and does not increase student fees. The resulting program retains some interscholastic sports and adds an intramural component designed to increase overall student participation. The middle school sports program will include four seven-week interscholastic seasons throughout the year, serving students in grades six through eight. t Season 1 (Sept. 10-Oct. 26) will offer boys’ and girls’ cross country, boys’ tennis and girls’ volleyball t Season 2 (Nov. 13-Jan. 18) is for boys’ and girls’ basketball t Season 3 (Feb. 4-March 29) is for girls’ badminton and boys’/girls’ wrestling t Season 4 (April 22-June 7) is for boys’ and girls’ track and girls’ tennis Football, which has been offered only to students in 8th and 9th graders in the past, as well as baseball and softball, which incurs high costs for officials and equipment will no longer be offered at the middle school level. According to a LWSD press release, “All three sports are supported within our communities at the recreation, select and club levels for students who do want to participate in them.� The new intramural program will be offered in three sessions of two weeks each, in between the interscholastic seasons. Sports selections are still pending a survey of students’ sports interests, but the tentative schedule includes soccer, floor hockey, flag football and coed ultimate frisbee. Principals developed this program in consultation with the district athletic director and director of school support. It was presented to the Superintendent and the Superintendent in turn presented it to the district’s Board of Directors. The school board supported the plan after getting a number of questions answered. Schools that will impact Sammamish students include Inglewood Junior High and Evergreen Junior High.

Crusader boys rout Nathan Hale, 68-47 The Eastside Catholic boys basketball team led Nathan Hale by nine at the end of the first quarter and cruised to 68-47 win Tuesday behind a game-high 25 points from Joey Schreiber. Freshman Mandrell Worthy had 12 and Austin Soukup added 11 for the Crusaders. Badhasa Margarsa had 19 and Gadisa Margarsa added 16 more to lead Nathan Hale. Eastside Catholic, which recently finished second-place in the Chaminade Christmas Classic in West Hills, Calif., is now 5-2 in the Metro and 9-3 overall.
Tucker Haymond and TreVaunte Williams combined for 51 points as Garfield scored no fewer than 19 in any of the first three quarters Tuesday to down Issaquah, 73-59. Nick Price finished with 20 to lead Issaquah and Fletcher Martin added 15 more, but a 19-5 second quarter in favor of the Bulldogs put the Eagles in a hole they could not dig out of. Issaquah dropped to 3-2 in league and 9-2 overall.
BALLARD KNOCKS OFF SKYLINE ON HOME COURT
EASTLAKE DROPS CLOSE ONE TO WOODINVILLE
Lucas Shannon paced Skyline with 14 points Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough to overcome double-digit scoring efforts from three Ballard players and a 10-point deficit in the third quarter as the Beavers downed the Spartans 56-47. Seth Berger had 14, John Verduin 12 and Jake Devine 11 as the Beavers pulled away with an 18-8 advantage in the third quarter and a 14 point margin over the second half. Skyline dropped to 3-1 in the KingCo 4A and 8-3 overall.
Woodinville’s Robbie Jackson led the way with 13 points for the Falcons, which erased a 10 point deficit in the final quarter to earn a the 41-38 win. Eastlake managed only nine points in the first half, but exploded for 24 in the third to move to a 10-point lead. But the offensive woes returned in the fourth quarter as the Wolves were outscored 18-5. Eastlake fell to 1-5 in league and 3-9 overall.

Eastside middle school wrestlers shine in first year Eastside Catholic added middle school wrestling to its athletic program this past fall — the first middle school’s Washington Interscholastic Activities Associationsanctioned athletic team. Under head coach Chris Ungerecht and assistant coach Larry Roybal, the nine-man team had plenty of success in its inaugural season. Crusader 6th graders, Dylan Strode (88 pounds) and Grant Schaffer (155) both placed second in their league championships at Twin Falls Middle School. The Crusaders also had several medal winners at the 7th and 8th grade league championships held at Mercer Island Middle School.

Thief poaches gold-tip boots from doorstep POLICE BLOTTER
The home owner, who noted the thief stole a pillow case off his bed to hold the jewelry, said there was nothing of value in the box.
reported that he fell and struck his head on the bumper of the vehicle, suffering a bruised cheek and possible concussion while trying to clean up the mess. Neither the home owners or their teenage children knew who would be targeting them. They said they would be adding a camera system outside their home.
Reckless driver nabbed for DUI
A Sammamish woman reported the size 7 1/2 Chanel gold tip boots she ordered off of eBay were stolen from her doorstep on Northeast 24th Place. The victim, who was out of town between Dec. 23 and Dec. 29., checked the packing number and confirmed that the US Postal Service had delivered her package. The woman paid $350 for the boots, but said they were valued at $1,200.
Multiple eggings
Home burglarized
A Sammamish man reported Dec. 22 that his home was egged two days in row while his wife and two children were away. Upon arrival the officer noted the odor of eggs as he approached the door to the home on 200 block of Northeast Place. The ground was wet from the having been washed off a car and the home, creating an icy hazard. The resident later
Nearly $1,600 worth of items were stolen from a Sammamish home on the 200 block of Northeast Avenue sometime between 8 a.m. and 3:35 p.m. on Dec. 20. The thief apparently entered through an unlocked garage door that doesn’t latch unless slammed shut. A DVD player, 42-inch plasma TV and a jewelry box were taken from the residence.

a four-lane highway for its apple trucks. Sammamish cares about restoring its salmon streams while Wenatchee wants to protect power from its two dams. While Reichert will have a different constituent base, it won’t affect the way he does business. A former police officer, he continues the habit of establishing facts before making decisions, he said. Reichert began meeting with his new constituents when the final plan was introduced Friday. “This is going to be an exciting opportunity,� he said. The victory for the Democrats was the creation of a new district, the 10th, with its main population base in Olympia. That should bring a solid win for a Democrat congressman, said Tim Ceis, one of four members of the Redistricting Commission. For Republicans the win was in District 1 because it’s now a dead even “swing� district, said Slade Gorton, a former U.S. senator, one of two Republicans on the commission. While everyone agrees its closely split, not everyone thinks its dead-even. It will likely fall in favor of Democrats in this year’s election, Ceis said. Issaquah and Sammamish aside, a large part of the Eastside – Bellevue and Mercer Island, primarily – fell into what commissioners are calling a majority minority district. The idea
is that the district has more minorities than whites. It was the single most important issue to those who testified at the public meetings. Gorton supported the majority minority district from the start, but he felt it needed to be the state’s new district so there wouldn’t be an incumbent to challenge. It would make a more “genuine� minority district, he said. Adam Smith, a Democrat, will represent the minority majority district from his hometown in SeaTac. About 50.33 percent of his constituents will be ethnic minorities. The new districts come into effect 30 days after
the state legislative session begins Jan. 9. The House and Senate can make minor changes to the plan, but only with a two-thirds vote. The plan, which the commission approved Sunday, rearranged the state’s 10 congressional districts, adding one as approved by the federal government, and its 49 legislative districts. It was a bi-partisan effort. “I think it’s the best process in the United States,� Gorton said, “because it absolutely prohibits either party of taking advantage of the other party.� Issaquah Reporter staff writer Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363,

A 19-year-old male from Bellevue was pulled over for exceeding speeds of 75 mph in a 40 mph zone near the 4000 block of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road. The officer observed the driver had droopy eyelids and dilated eyes. The teen said he was going so fast “because it was fun.� The officer smelled an odor of burned cannabis and gave off numerous clues that he was impaired. The suspect was arrested for suspicion of DUI and agreed to submit to a voluntary DRE assessment.
Mail theft A group of community mailboxes were damaged the morning of Dec. 23 near the corner of Southeast Second Street and 214th Avenue Southeast in Sammamish. Twelve mailboxes were pried open by a tool similar to the claw of a framing hammer. Pieces of latches were scattered around the base of the mailbox and the only mail left at the scene was junk mail and sale flyers.
Police responded to reports of juveniles skateboarding in the Highlands Park and Ride on Dec. 28. The four skaters were informed they weren’t allowed to be in the lot. They said they understood and left the area.
Dangerous objects in road Drivers reported objects in the middle of the 100 block of Newport Way Northeast on Dec. 29. When police arrived they found someone had placed a garbage can and recycle bin in the middle of the lanes of travel. Police removed the objects.
Holding a grudge A woman called police Dec. 22 to report that two years ago a male yelled at her in a clothing store parking lot for almost hitting him. She said he walked across the street when he shouldn’t have. The caller had no further information but wanted police to know.
Up in smoke
An Issaquah fast food employee called and reported there was a person in the drive-thru who was possibly intoxicated. The driver was passed out in his vehicle on Dec. 24. While police were en route to the scene it was reported the vehicle left the
There was a report of three people sitting in a white vehicle on Mount Pilchuck Avenue Southeast, possibly smoking marijuana. When police arrived on Dec. 22, the vehicle was gone. The area was checked with negative results.

Taking the Oath BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The new councilmember folded his hands and smiled with excitement while the judge, adorned in a traditional black robe, addressed the lectern to begin the oaths of office Tuesday night. The moment came to the first three councilmembers – Fred Butler, Joshua Schaer and Stacy Goodman – with all the air of familiarity. For Winterstein, however, there was gentle hop in his step. Councilmembers have a simple oath, at least compared to judges, said Scott Stewart, and Issaquah Municipal Court judge who swore in four members. The annual ceremony is the final ratification of an election. Out of the four members sworn in, only Schaer faced an opponent this year. Goodman filled in for Maureen McCarry in 2011, and then won her election in November to serve the final two years of the term. Following the ceremony the councilmembers selected Tola Marts as the council president and renamed Butler to the deputy council president position. John Traeger held the position until he retired from public service in December. For Marts, who enjoys participating in council commission meetings and council leadership, it was a good fit, he said.

Sammamish City Council welcomes new members BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In a relaxed atmosphere, the Sammamish City Council welcomed the two newest members of the council. Ramiro Valderrama, elected to seat 4, and Tom Vance, elected to seat 6 took the oath of office, before the council nominated and unanimously chose former deputy mayor Tom Odell as the city’s new mayor, and John James as the new deputy mayor. A humbled Odell thanked the city staff, former mayor Don Gerend, and the council members for their confidence. “Town center, the community center, public safety, financial health, a good bond rating, the environmentally critical areas ordinance are all priorities between now and 2025,” Odell said. He said the question is how to have growth and protect the environment, as well as maintain a healthy local business community. After a celebration with cake and coffee, the council got down to business. Collective gardens were back on the agenda. In July the council adopted a six-month moratorium on collective

gardens for growing medical cannabis, due to the conflict
between state and federal law. The federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, the same category as heroin and L.S.D. Drugs with that classification, the government says, have a high potential for abuse and “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.” In the last legislative session governor Christine Gregoire vetoed a bill to legalize medical cannabis to protect state employees from federal prosecution. In Issaquah a collective garden is allowed to serve up to 10 qualified patients, and can have up to 45 plants and no more than 72 ounces of useable marijuana or cannabis. The garden must be located in the city’s commercial zones, and be separated by at least 1,000 feet from schools, the community center and other collective gardens, as well as 500 feet from parks and preschools or daycares. The Sammamish council can choose to extend the moratorium in Sammamish for six more months but must do so at the Jan. 17 meeting, where it will take public comment on the issue. By extending until July 2012 it buys time for the council to see how the legislature deals with marijuana laws in the regular session beginning Jan. 9. Five votes will be needed to extend the moratorium. Linda Ball can be reached at 206-232-1215 ext. 5052.
Lake Washington School District prepped for bad weather
With 51 schools in three cities within 76 square miles to oversee, Lake Washington School District officials do not have an easy job. And when the weather takes a turn for the worst, things get much more difficult. Janene Fogard, deputy superintendent of operation services for the district, said they have a number of systems in place to tackle the challenges of inclement weather. She said LWSD works with a local meteorologist who gives them localized forecasts, which are much more specific than what is broadcast to the general public. Additionally, LWSD will look at the weather conditions on its four main hills: the Sammamish Plateau, Education Hill, Novelty Hill and Finn Hill. Fogard said because of the higher elevations,
KEEP UDATED When weather turns bad on the Plateau, be sure to check www.schoolreport. com. for updates on school closures and delays. Also check out www.lwsd.org or www.issaquah.wednet.edu.
know what’s happening, while a phone tree system is used to inform the rest of the district. Once a decision is made, Fogard said the information is posted on www.schoolreport. org and sent to the local news stations, which post the information during their morning broadcast. The information is also posted on the school’s website at www.lwsd.org and an automated call is made to staff and families at home. Fogard said they can’t do specific closures or delays at schools where the conditions are worse because it would affect the bus system, which she described as “one big web of a system.” She explained that, for example, a driver with an earlier route may have an additional route later that would be affected if the route for the first school was delayed. Fogard added that sometimes, the buses will run on snow routes because arterials are usually plowed and sanded before neighborhood streets. Because of this, Fogard said it is important for families to know what these alternative routes are. This information is sent home in late November and Fogard

recommends posting it to the refrigerator or another easily accessible area so it can be found when needed. If the weather goes bad during the day while students are in school, Fogard said the challenge is figuring out whether to send them home midday when no one may be home — especially at the elementary school age. “We want to be sure kids are safe,” she said. If the district decides to send students home midday, Fogard said they use various methods to get the information out and if parents aren’t available to pick up their children, schools will try to get hold of that family’s emergency contact. This is information that is collected early in the school year. If a student has no way of getting home, Fogard said they will keep the child at school until the buses run. During a windstorm with the possibility of a power outage, LWSD has facility crews that check early on whether buildings have power. Fogard said this is the one case where they will close or schedule a delay with specific schools. LWSD will usually work with Puget Sound
Tops Leather 100 Off Convertible Kits Sunroofs 50 Off Seat Heaters FREE Offer expires 1/31/2012
Energy to figure out when the power will come back on and plan accordingly. If the power outage happens while class is in session, Fogard said they will usually run school until the end of the day, but they also keep the temperature in mind because they want to do what they can to keep students and staff comfortable. In these cases, emergency planning kits are also available for students as the kits are part of students’ supply list every year. Additionally, Fogard said the district works with the PTSAs to provide water and snacks. Fogard said parents should plan ahead and have a back-up plan for these situations and have alternative childcare options available in case they are unable to stay home. She also said parents should see that their children are dressed for the weather. “Make sure that they dress warmly for the cold weather,” she said.

these areas are usually colder and have the worst conditions. “We have the information and we work with the meteorologist,” Fogard said. To check the road conditions, Fogard said they have people drive around as early as 2 or 3 a.m. The drivers then report back to Fogard and her team to decides on how to approach the day, whether that means getting crews out to sand roads, scheduling late arrivals or closing the schools altogether. “We have to make our call (by) about 5 a.m.,” Fogard said. This is because LWSD must contact bus drivers who have the earliest routes and would be waking up and getting ready for work around this time.

Issaquah budgets $900,000 for retaining wall Issaquah councilmembers have set aside $900,000 to repair the failing Black Nugget Road retaining wall, but some say there still won’t be enough money to make the repairs until next year. It was the largest last-minute change to the city’s $32 million budget, before the council voted to approve it late December. While the majority of councilmembers felt the wall should be repaired in full when the money was available, councilmember Joshua Schaer pushed to get a temporary fix this year, he said. “We’re on borrowed time with that wall.� The city doesn’t have enough money for a $1.4 million repair, but a $270,000 fix would buy the city a few more decades, he said. The money set aside for repairs comes from $1 million in savings on the new Maple Street fire station. Some of that money also went to ARCH, an Eastside lowincome housing group. Even though administra-
tors are expecting to rearrange and lay off staff in February, the budget process was fairly smooth. Issaquah maintained its $8.5 million reserve, crucial for a healthy city, and didn’t have to increase property taxes, a rare feat with inflation. “A lot of people are hurting, a lot of people are struggling financially, and it’s a recognition that the council knows and understands,� said councilmember Fred Butler, who was reelected as deputy council president Tuesday. The decision not to increase taxes was in part made possible by a $1 million jump in sales tax revenue to $8 million, said councilmember Mark Mullet. The hope is to continue that trend with the creation of an economic development team, which would help attract new business to the city. The philosophy is that good cities don’t just regulate business, but help facilitate it, Mullet said. While Butler and Mullet were pleased
with the budget’s conservative approach, councilmember Schaer would have liked to see more money for the Complete Streets initiative, which focuses on sidewalks and bike lanes, saying the fund was once again “gutted.� Whereas 2011 was a year of completed projects, including the opening of the YWCA and Swedish Hospital, Issaquah expects to see a heavy year of planning and reorganizing in 2012. In addition to the economic development department, councilmembers are expected to approve the Central Issaquah Plan by year’s end. Some also hope to approve plans to develop the Highland’s business district and decide on Confluence Park. “We’ve got an exciting year ahead of us,� Butler said.
