Breaking Barriers

ACT program helps the disabled transition from school

P

erhaps the hardest part of Megan Boss’ new internship at Cafe 1910 is wringing the towels. Her hands, buried beneath oversized rubber gloves, struggle to coordinate the movement.

Boss, who has William’s syndrome, dreams of someday busing tables at Red Robin. And so the 21-year-old has been practicing with the towels on weekends.

No matter how simple the task, work provides purpose in life, and students like Boss deserve the same opportunity to find that self worth, said Diana Gay, head of the Issaquah School District’s Academy for Community Transition.

For Boss, leaving public school means leaving a safety net that has directed

“I wanted to be a helper. They had such great potential, and it was fun to help them realize that.”

– Teacher Diana Gay most of her life. ACT, which serves students with the most severe disabilities, has helped her build the skills she needs to transition into the community.

Graduation is dictated by age and Boss will leave the ACT program in a few months. But unlike the diplomas of high school ceremonies, she’s earned a resume

Special Needs Education: Part 2 of 2 proving that she can restock sugar, wipe tables and greet guests.

ACT prepared her for independence, life without a classroom, or as she explained, “to always like this new place called life school.”

For 23 years now ISD has been giving students like Boss an opportunity to transcend her disability and join the ranks of working citizens. For the students, there couldn’t be a greater gift than the opportunity to be an ordinary member of the community.

Funding theater

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Village Theatre was awarded a $25,000 grant that will be used for maintaining and improving the theatre’s Issaquah facilities.

Puget Sound Energy awarded the grant to the city of Issaquah, and requested that the funds be used to benefit a local, nonprofit agency. During its budget process late last year, the Issaquah City Council then enthusiastically selected the theater for the grant.

Village Theatre is working to upgrade and maintain its equipment and facilities to meet the organization’s expanding programs and needs, said spokesperson

Michelle Sanders. Sanders said the theater plans to improve the rehearsal room floors, purchase new lighting and computer equipment, in addition to re-carpeting and re-painting certain areas inside its main theater.

“Since we own all of our buildings in Issaquah, we have quite a few maintenance needs and plans for upgrades on the to-do list,” she said.

Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger said supporting the arts locally is a part of the city’s long-term planning. “Not only do the arts enrich our lives, but they also nourish our local economy.”

Reporter Gabrielle Nomura can be reached at 425-453-4270.

New musical coming to Village Village Theatre announced the casting for “It Shoulda Been You,” the second new musical production in its 2011-2012 Mainstage Season.

Tickets are on sale now for the show, which opens March 15 and runs through April 22.

Written by Brian Hargrove and Barbara Anselmi, “It Shoulda Been You” was last seen by Village Theatre audiences as a reading at the Village Originals 10th Annual Festival of New Musicals in 2010. The 2012 Mainstage production marks the returns of many Festival cast members.

Law returns to Village Theatre as Judy Steinberg, the Jewish mother of the bride, after a turn in the new musical “Take Me America” earlier this season.

Vocal powerhouse Kat Ramsburg, last seen at Village Theatre in the Festival reading of “It Shoulda Been You,” returns to the

role of lovable Jenny Steinberg, sister to the bride. In Seattle, Ramsburg has been seen in “Mame” and “Sweeney Todd” at The 5th Avenue Theatre, as well as at Seattle Children’s Theatre.

Broadway vet Dewar returns to the Village Theatre Mainstage after a successful run in the 2011 new musical production of “Iron Curtain.”

T

Legal notice bill bad news for the public

here is a dangerous bill in the Legislature that threatens the public’s ability to keep an eye on government.

House Bill 2801 – that is being rushed through hearings – would allow local governments to stop publishing public notices in their local newspapers and, instead, simply put them on the Internet.

Local governments say they would save money doing this. They won’t and – worse – much of the public will be cut out of with fewer – rather than more – citizens know what their representatives are up to.

It’s a bad and potentially dangerous piece of legislation.

The publishing of public notices in newspapers of record dates to 1789, when the first Congress required publication of its bills, orders, resolutions and votes in at least three generally available newspapers. The founders recognized that government should not be the gatekeepers of its own information. So their purpose was to require government to report its actions to citizens in a medium independent of government influence or control: the newspaper.

It was good policy then, and it remains good policy today.

Publishing legal notices in a newspaper of record ensures that decisions related to public debt, ordinances and laws, zoning, taxation and quality of life – all matters of compelling and perpetual public interest – are made with transparency.

Legal notices empower the public to get involved in the process. And they contribute to a reservoir of archived material in a form that cannot be altered, changed, hacked, hidden or manipulated after the fact. This would simply not be true of notices published exclusively online.

In publishing public notices in newspapers of record, local government acknowledges that government itself carries the burden of keeping citizens informed, and that it will not shift that burden to the citizens themselves to go hunting for information.

To that end, the local, general-interest newspaper remains the vehicle with the widest reach to the widest cross-section of the community. And we can prove it.

The Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter is part of Sound Publishing, a company that reaches 700,000 Washington households through its print publications. Other newspapers around the state also maintain commensurately broad distribution within their own communities.

This is not “theoretical” reach, a “potential” audience that may or may not find its way to notices posted on a government website. This is actual reach, to readers who are active and interested and engaged in the community around them – and most certainly in local government affairs.

We should remember that not all citizens have computers, or smartphones, and not all have access to the web. Indeed, there are cost barriers to entry into, and participation in, today’s world of digital communication.

But anyone – everyone – can at any time go down to the public library or the coffee shop, pick up the community newspaper and find out through the public notices what their government is up to. Affordable, egalitarian and very popular, general interest newspapers provide precisely what government needs most – a direct and demonstrable conduit to its citizens.

This issue really comes down to a philosophical question: Should government take its information to the people, or should government make the people come looking for that information, through a maze of agency and departmental websites?

We believe – and we are confident Washington citizens agree – that government at ALL levels has an affirmative obligation to take its information to the people – to make that extra effort, to ensure that public notices are not just “available,” but also widely seen and widely read.

House Bill 2801 flouts that obligation, and it should be rejected. The Legislature had the wisdom to dismiss similar legislation last session, and we trust it will demonstrate that same wisdom again.

LETTERS MEATLESS? OF COURSE

I had to laugh when I saw the recent PCC article/ad suggesting “Meatless Mondays.”

We are “meatless” all the time! Why? Because meat is unhealthy, uneconomical, and un-environmental. “Meatless Mondays,” indeed.

LB Sandy Rock, MD, MPH, Issaquah

THE RIGHT CALL

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would open up to two million acres of western public land for oil shale.

For over a century, industry has tried to produce commercial oil from shale with no success, but those research projects have ruined air, water, and land resources. But there’s no oil in oil shale – it’s a rock.

Ironically, some in Congress want to fund repairs to our crumbling transportation infrastructure with oil shale revenue, but the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the oil shale provisions would generate ZERO revenue between 2012 and 2022.

I applaud Congressman Dave Reichert for taking a stand for our quality of life in the West by voting against the bill and for an amendment that would have stripped provisions for oil shale speculation.

While oil shale deposits aren’t in Washington state, as a taxpayer I do not want to subsidize an unproven technology that opens up our public lands to development. Should commercial oil shale ever be achieved, it could produce

23 to 73 percent more global warming pollution than conventional oil.

I am disappointed that Congress passed this bill, but I am grateful to Rep. Reichert for continuing to make the right choices for our land, climate, and economy.

Loretta Jancoski, Ph.D., Issaquah

ISSAQUAH’S FUTURE

I am interested in the Central Issaquah Plan and realize that it is a complex, long term planning effort. Even so I am concerned that the decisions that we make now are going to impact my quality of life. Is this density of development appropriate for Issaquah?

More specifically: The cost of roads, parks, schools, maintenance and many other items is very high. The current residents should not be shouldering this burden. How this the plan going to prevent the cost burden from shifting to my shoulders?

I am afraid that Issaquah will lose its identity in this push for economic vitality.

We don’t need to be Bellevue. We need to be a better Issaquah. Please focus on what makes Issaquah a wonderful place now, then improve it.

Frankly I wonder if the market is for all of this development? It certainly isn’t here now. Where is the part of the plan that looks at what is going to happen in the interim? Please dial it back and keep it real.

I live, work and play in Issaquah because I like it. I want a say in how it grows, yet this plan edits me out of the process. Please include me in the decisions happening in my own town.

Sammamish begins work on ECA update City hopes to finish planning by the end of 2012, three years ahead of required date BY linda ball issaquah & sammamish reporter

Although the state doesn’t require a new Environmental Critical Areas update until 2015, the Sammamish Planning Commission would like to get it done by the end of the year.

You would never know it by the glacial pace of the commission’s Feb. 16 meeting, which was basically two hours of setting the ground rules.

The good news is, the city has hired a consultant to provide the commission with best available science, since the underlying goal of a new ECA is to protect the environment.

The City Council authorized the city manager to enter into a contract with AMEC Environment and Infrastructure, Inc., for $77,000 plus a $20,000 contingency. The ECA looks at wetlands, streams, erosion hazards, landslide areas, seismic hazard areas, steep slopes and wildlife corridors.

AMEC was selected by city staff and

two community members, according to planning commission chair Joe Lipinsky.

Speaking on behalf of Citizens for Sammamish at the Feb. 16 meeting, Bob Sorensen noted that nearly half of the land area of Sammamish is encumbered by some critical areas.

The planning commission had many concerns. One is that the fact-gathering process might drive them in a direction they don’t anticipate. Another concern was including the public as much as possible, and remaining accessible and transparent throughout the entire procedure.

Commissioner Mahbubul Islam said transparency should be a goal, as should fairness.

The commission’s ultimate goal is to present their statement of facts pertinent to the ECA to the City Council when they are done, with no surprises.

Commissioner Michael Luxenberg said if they present accurate data, there should be no need to go back to the drawing board.

Lipinsky said to expect much longer meetings. The commission meets every first and third Thursdays and the public can also request updates by e-mail by visiting www.ci.sammamish.wa.us.

A long-time volunteer battalion chief who served at District 10 fire stations for 33 years has died.

Eastside Fire and Rescue remembers John Waltosz for all the young volunteers he recruited and trained to help respond to emergency fire and medical calls in District 10.

His leadership, devotion of service and selflessness were formally recognized by EFR in 2007, when its board passed a resolution of gratitude.

He was a mentor to many and his

determination and professional attitude inspired a generation of well-rounded career and volunteer firefighters. said EFR Fire Chief Lee Soptich. “John will be missed for John Waltosz his devotion to his family, his neighbors and community service.”

The Volunteer Battalion Chief John Waltosz Inspiration Award was established in his honor.

Hennig makes sure they’re mindful of cars in the parking lot, teaches them to be courteous to other customers and shows them how to navigate the store.

The goal isn’t to just to make the students comfortable in the community but the community comfortable with them, Gay said. “We definitely need the non-disabled population to embrace our people as functioning normal folks.”

Counting Special Needs The Issaquah School District has 1,604 students in special needs programs. Of those, 102 have yet to enter kindergarten and 23 have joined the Academy for Community Transition.

The district will spend about $15.5 million on these programs this school year.

The average student costs the district about $8,600, but that cost jumps to $10,126 for students in the special needs program.

By the end of the year, grocery store trips will elevate to jaunts into Seattle. While community skills are perhaps the most fun for students – especially when they learn to order their own cheeseburgers – the heart of the program is its internships.

No helmets in the off-season?

Coaches, WIAA, weigh pros and cons of eliminating pads, helmets during off-season ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Months before winning its third 4A state title in the past four years, the Skyline football team was already laying the foundation for another championship run.

Like other programs around the state, the Spartans spent eight days in pads during the spring practice period before heading to a team camp at the University of Puget Sound where they would take part in controlled scrimmages.

“We’ve got to work on that chemistry on offense and defense,” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said.

“Without pads on, it’s just not the same.”

If the Everett School District gets its way, Skyline and others around the state will be forced to adjust to some serious changes.

Middle School/High School Amendment Six would limit the usage of football helmets and shoulder pads to the designated WIAA season, fall.

School districts would be allowed to authorize the use of facilities and other school owned equipment, with the exception of football helmets and shoulder pads.

“School uniforms, football helmets and shoulder pads may be worn only during the WIAA season for that sport except during Washington State Coaches Association feeder or all state contests,” reads Part ‘A’ of the amendment.

The ‘pros’, as listed in the document prepared for the WIAA, contend it would decrease the number of hits student-athletes would take in a season (and help avoid concussions.)

Jackson High School’s Athletic Director Robert Polk proposed

amendements five and six, and then got the needed support from schools to move the discussion forward.

Polk said the main motivation behind his proposal was safety and limiting the number of hits football players take throughout the year.

“We’re hearing more and more about concussions in the sport of football and other sports,” he said.

WesCo coaches discussed the issue at the league’s postseason meeting and it received what he termed “mediocre” support.

With that in mind, Polk crafted the amendments to create a level playing field for football programs across the state and ensure coaches – Mat Taylor that taking steps to reduce contact would not be punished with a competitive disadvantage.

“I sometimes believe coaches will respond one way around their peers but behind closed doors, will have a different opinion,” Polk said.

“Their biggest fear is they don’t want to get left behind what other schools are doing.”

The only listing under the “Cons” is: “Athletes may not be prepared to the same extent as in years past, but all teams would have the same amount of time for conditioning and preparation.”

But coaches from around the area believe the detriments of the

amendment would run far deeper.

Taylor believes the amendments are well-intentioned but would come with consequences that could hurt student-athletes’ chances at being recruited and may actually lead to more injuries.

“I understand that maybe we need to limit the amount of days we do in the offseason,” he said.

“But that needs to be equitable across all sports and you can’t use football equipment as a way to do it.”

Taylor added that even if every football program in the state is on a level playing field because of the rule change, that would not be the case when considering out-ofstate games, of which his team will play two in 2012.

Dan Teeter, head coach at 2A Lakewood High School near Arlington, drafted a petition he plans to present as evidence that coaches around the state are largely opposed to Amendment Six. Teeter said he had approximately 170 signatures when he spoke with the The Reporter less than 24 hours after putting it online.

Another factor Taylor and Teeter cited was that helmets and shoulder pads do not always equate to full or even partial contact drills.

During the annual Lakewood passing tournament, players wear helmets and shoulder pads primarily to avoid unintended head-tohead contact with other players, not create it.

“It will actually have a negative

“The game of football is so much about the equipment you’re wearing.”

Skyline quarterback Max Browne competes in an off-season drill with a helmet. FILE PHOTO impact where it will create more safety hazards,” Teeter said. “If a kids is running full speed going for a ball, there is a safety factor.”

Each of the 11 high school football programs in Bellevue, Issaquah and Sammamish wore helmets and shoulder pads for their spring practices and most had players which attended summer camps.

Those camps are crucial to studentathletes hoping to be recruited and for many, the only other option would be to purchase pads out of pocket to use in those events.

Players like Skyline signal caller Max Browne has every scouting service and talent evaluator following their every move, but studentathletes hoping to land at an FCS, Division II, Division III or NAIA school have their best chance to be seen during the team attended camps.

Jacqueline Grosse, M.A., CCC Speech & Language Pathologist

“They (coaches at camp hosting colleges) have a chance to evaluate our kids and it’s not the same without seeing them take contact,” Teeter said.

A quick online search yields waves of certified helmets, shoulder pads and every other piece of equipment necessary to outfit a football player at $600.

“It could create a disparity between the haves and have nots,” Teeter said.

Teeter’s fears are something Polk had admittedly not considered and adds to a list of potential complications that may require reworking the language of the amendment.

“There’s a lot of grey area and angles and that is one I had not thought about,” Polk said. “I realize putting this out there it might not be perfect and conversation will need to take place.”

Issaquah’s roots revisited: Area holds a deep history

BY JOAN NEWMAN SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

The J.J. Eastlick family with a large container of hops. This family settled in 1884 on Vaughn’s Hill, which was uphill from today’s East Lake Sammamish Parkway on what is now S.E. Issaquah-Fall City Rd., about where Black Nugget Rd. is located. CONTRIBUTED railroad here. Confusion with another Washington town named “Gilmer” caused the town to petition the legislature to change the name to Issaquah in 1899.

The Sammamish band of the Duwamish, the Snoqualmies and other Native Americans were here long before white settlers first came to the valley in the 1860s and 1870s.

In addition to household farming, early settlers raised hops for Seattle breweries. When the railroad reached town in 1888, and coal found here could be shipped to Seattle profitably, min-

ers flocked to the area from many parts of the U.S. and the world, as did loggers of the big trees and local business people. Dairy farming later became a major industry.

The largest coal mines were Grand Ridge, at the southern end of the Sammamish Plateau, and the Issaquah and Superior mine on Squak Mountain. Smaller mines were the Bianco Queen and Harris mines along what is now Highway 900, and the Caroline mine on Tiger Mountain. “Mom and Pop” mines were active around the area into the 1960s.

questions like, “When did timber companies start ‘clearcutting?’” or “When did the state begin supporting schools here?” Answers can be found in IHM materials.

However, the information flow is not all one-way. People’s memories are often triggered by their visits and they contribute special knowledge. For example, former telegraphers and other users of Morse Code, as showcased at the Depot, explain how they learned to understand messages. “We didn’t hear individual letters or words,” said one, “but we would recognize patterns in the dots and dashes.”

Studying one exhibit at the Gilman Town Hall, people have told about jumping out of gliders for sport and novices who broke heels and ankles when landing at the former Skyport. Pickering Place is there today. Another visitor told about racing his friends along old logging roads on Vaughn’s Hill in a ‘39 Chevy with “free wheeling,” a kind of overdrive, in the 1950s.

These are only a few of the questions and answers about Issaquah history that intrigue visitors – and those who visit with them.

It’s not just in school that people learn Issaquah history.

In an average year, more than 5,300 people from all over Washington and as far away as Iceland, South Africa, Asia and Australia visit the Issaquah History Museums.

Out-of-towners ask about local names like Issaquah, Gilman and Squak. Relatives of old Issaquah families ask about their genealogy. Newcomers and day-trippers most frequently ask, “When did people first come here? What did they used to do here? Where were the coal mines? Where did the railroad go? Can we ride a train here?”

Here are some brief answers: “Issaquah” comes from the word meaning “the sound of water birds” in the language of the Lushootseed people, who included the Sammamish, Snoqualmie, Duwamish and other area tribes. “Squak Valley,” the early settlers’ name for this area, was based on the same Lushootseed word, as is Squak Mountain, which rises west of the fish hatchery.

In 1892 the town of Gilman, and therefore the Gilman Town Hall, was named after Daniel Hunt Gilman, who was instrumental in bringing the

Eastern Railway was incorporated in 1885 by a group of Seattle investors, but went into receivership by 1896 and was bought out

by Northern Pacific Railway in 1898. It was headquartered in Seattle, ran around the north end of both Lakes Washington and Sammamish, south to Issaquah, then east to Salal Prairie just past North Bend.

The nearest tourist ride on the old line today is at the Northwest Railway Museum in the town of Snoqualmie. Closer to home, the Issaquah Valley Trolley project is moving forward. The track has been fixed from the Depot to Darigold and the trolley car is going to Ida Grove, Iowa, for renovation. It is due back later in the year, ready to go, powered by a generator pulled behind the car.

Younger visitors to the museums have a special set of questions. Some try working the wheels next to the doors into the caboose and the Army car at the Depot, asking, “Is this the way they steered?” Answer: No, you can’t steer a railroad car. The wheel is a manual brake, in case the car becomes separated from the train or engine when moving.

“Where was the bathroom?” kids ask at the caboose and at the old jail behind the Gilman Town Hall. That answer must be explained on site.

Mountain bike recommendations pass through board, barely Issaquah’s Park Board moved along a study that would improve mountain biking in the city, but not without hesitancy.

Of the Issaquah Mountain Bike Task Force’s five recommendations, it only wholly supported one – building a small skills park in the Issaquah Highlands.

On the whole, it’s still a win for mountain bikers in the city, said Paul Winterstein, a city councilmember who also worked on the report. “The outcomes that we wanted are very much still possible.”

The goal of the task force was to make a formal recommendation on

ark SuUPHnm OLSTERY since 1980

www.sunmarkup.com

whether to build the skills park and to figure out ways to improve mountain biking in the community.

So one major focus was where to connect the city to regional trails.

Those possible new trail locations came under the heaviest criticism, because they either snaked through private property or cut through conservation land.

However, the discussion on connector trails is just beginning.

About a month ago, the state’s Department of Natural Resources began creating a recreation plan that would focus on connecting different trails along the Snoqualmie corridor and throughout the Raging River forest, which is just east of Tiger Mountain.

The fact that Issaquah has already begun to discuss ways to join that DNR land is exciting, Winterstein said. “This higher level of visibility is all a good thing.”

The bike report itself moved to the mayor untouched, but an attached memo discussed the merits of its major points, applauding some ideas, such as improved signage, but dismissing others, such as a new trails commission.

Mayor Ava Frisinger will now have to decide whether to pass the report onto City Council and if to change it before she does.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Issaquah is hoping to recover $380,000 from the federal government after it shelled out a half million dollars to manage the mid-January snowstorm.

The decision hangs on whether or not President Barack Obama declares the winter event as a national disaster. The Federal Emergency Management Agency expects to present the proposal in the next few weeks.

Washington state could also pitch in another 12.5 percent of the loss, but with state’s budget woes, there isn’t a certainty the city will get that kind of support.

Issaquah residents lost power twice during the storm, which began Jan. 15. The first time was after freezing rain sent trees toppling down on all of Issaquah’s main transmission lines.

Road crews bounced around the city clearing the mess, while public works crews staffed 24 hour shifts to keep the snow plows running.

In the aftermath, the city hosted three woody debris collection days, and hauled off over 300 tons of fallen trees.

Man prepares to chase down vandals with a shotgun

The officer explained that the garage wasn’t meant to be a space to do car work, and asked the man to pack up his tools and leave.

Neighbors in the 19000 block of Northeast 39th Street became suspicious when unknown people in trucks were driving on the property south of them — a location with a foreclosure and an empty lot. Police suspect teens were in the area drinking and it will continue to be a hot spot unless monitored.

drove up to her house, the man asked her if someone currently lived there. She said she didn’t know and was from out of the area.

When the man entered her backyard, she called police, who removed him from the property. The suspect told police he believed the house was going to the President of the United States.

Who’s the perjurer?

An obviously angry man visited the Issaquah police station to insist that the police in the station be investigated for perjury. The officer recognized the man from a prior incident where he filed a notice about his intent to sue the city.

The man was also advised then that he had been charged with assault by the city prosecutor Feb. 17.
