Bond would rebuild Issaquah’s oldest schoolhouses BY CELESTE GRACEY

waterfall of rain pours down on Sunny Hills Elementary, slops over the gutters and splashes onto its outdoor walkways. Sidestepping one of many puddles, Principal Sarah White flips up her hood and heads for the 11 portables that make up much of her campus. The wooden structures have been a fixture at Sunny Hills for so long, they’re counted among the 31 permanent classrooms. Some have even seen remodels. They’re the biggest reason why White is hoping for a new school; the list of needs – including gutters that don’t behave like water fountains – continues to grow as the 1960s facility ages. A new school building, ticketed at $27 million, is among the top projects in the Issaquah School District’s hopes to pay for through its April bond. “We’re so excited,” White said. “The staff already talks about ‘When we get a new school building…’” The district is asking residents to pay $219 million over the next eight years. The bond would replace an expiring one with a lower
– Principal Mike DeLetis tax rate. For the past two decades, the district’s focus has been on keeping up with growth. Since 1991, the student population has almost doubled in size. “It was a tough challenge to keep buildings coming up fast enough,” said Steve Crawford, director of capital projects. While the district scrambled to find space for students to sit, thoughts of renovating older schools like Sunny Hills and Liberty High School were put on hold. April’s bond would rebuild ISD’s oldest
facilities. It also comes with perks such as $12 million for football stadiums at each high school.

The Issaquah Salmon Hatchery is hosting its first major fundraiser for saving the Kokanee Salmon. The fresh water fish, which looks much like a sockeye, is nearing extinction. However, it failed to make the federal government’s endangered species classification last year. The Coho Café plans to cater the event at 6 p.m., March 23 at the hatchery. “This possible extinction is literally happening right in our own backyard and if a community as educated and affluent as King County cannot turn this critical situation around, then I’m not sure there is hope,” said Heather VanDorn, catering manager at Coho Café. The hatchery began a program a couple years ago to spawn the fish in streams that run through Issaquah and Sammamish. The costly process requires staff to hall water from the streams to the hatchery, so the fish will learn the scent. Tickets to the event are $60 and available at the Coho Café or by phone at 425-391-4040.

The Issaquah School District delayed school for two hours Tuesday because of a snow drift, which quickly melted from the roads. However, it didn’t stop this Liberty High School student from staying in style. The girl chose stiletto sandals, complete with a flower pattern. Her friend helped her across the student parking lot in Uggs, which aren’t water proof, but probably less treacherous.When teased about the choice from school district staff member, she replied, “It’s supposed to be March.” celeste Gracey, Issaquah &

Keeping Klahanie clean
Page 3
Neighborhood continues to improve natural areas by removing non-native plants BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Take a drive through Klahanie and it might resemble more of a state park than a neighborhood. At least that’s the look the community’s preservation club is going for. “We spend an awful lot of time, effort and funds in keeping those natural areas as free as possible from invasive, non-native plants,” said Bonnie Anderson, chair of the Natural Areas Association of Klahanie. The hard work has paid off in recent years as the 300-acre neighborhood was recognized with various awards by the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, the Eastside Audubon Society, King County’s Noxious Weeds department, the Urban Grant program and the Humane Society of the United States, which certified Klahanie as an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary. According to Anderson, a 25-year resident of Klahanie, things weren’t always this way. “If you would have seen our natural areas eight or 10 years ago, they are night and day,” she said, noting there used to be an abundance of ivy, Scot’s Broom, blackberries and several other invasive species. In order to combat the non-native plants, NAAK was formed approximately seven years ago by a former community member. Anderson took the reigns in 2007 and has since played a major role in the restoration of native forests, wetlands and a

Community manager Marta Mckie works with all of them and several community volunteers to maintain the health of natural areas.
Members of the Troop 682 Den 6 Webelos worked with EarthCorps in late 2010 to construct Klahanie’s native garden.
While NAAK itself has done a lot of projects, Anderson has also found several useful partners along the way, including EarthCorps and Puget Sound Energy. Two years ago, PSE began removing large portions of invasive plant species and replaced them with more than 3,000 native

plants near the power line system that runs through the middle of Klahanie. “It’s worked out from a partnership standpoint that we’re both gaining,” Anderson said. “PSE is finding locations to meet their needs, and we’re gaining because we’re getting a lot of work done and a lot of plants for free.” PSE has been involved in three major projects since 2010, including the restoration of large hillside, providing the supplies for a native garden and most recently, the removal a large portion of invasive plants near the power lines this February. The native plant garden, which was completed in December 2010 by the Troop 682 Den 6 Webelos, was funded by PSE. It contains a wide variety of species including colorful plants like the Nootka rose and red flowering currant. It also has a detailed interpretive sign placed out front to inform residents. “When we talk about native plants to the community they can actually go to a garden and see some samples of native plants and how really beautiful they are and how they might fit into their gardens,” Anderson said. Anderson said NAAK plans to continue to work with PSE and other organizations to maintain Klahanie’s natural beauty — as there’s always work to do. “Klahanie is very dedicated to keeping this asset that we have, both for the recreational activities we have for the people who live here and the wildlife who visit us,” she said.

SAY ‘YES’
The Issaquah District’s bond good for students and taxpayers
T
he Issaquah School District is asking voters to give it $219 million on April 17 to rebuild its oldest schools and make improvements and modernizations at many others. The money is needed and voters should say yes to this bond issue. Today’s issue features a report by staff writer Celeste Gracey that outlines numerous problems with the district’s old schools. Not only are they in disrepair, but also they don’t come close to meeting the needs of our students. Consider: Clark and Sunny Hills elementary schools and Issaquah Middle School each are more than half a century old. There simply is no way a school that old can give our kids the tools they will need to succeed in life. There are other critical needs that the bonds will address. Modernizations and/or renovations are planned for a number of elementary schools, including Apollo, Challenger, Cougar Ridge, Discovery, Endeavour, Grand Ridge, Issaquah Valley, Maple Hills, Sunset, Beaver Lake, Maywood and Pine Lake. There also is money for needed improvements, modernizations, and/ or renovations at all the district’s high schools. Liberty High School particularly needs help. How bad is bad? How about failing roofs, windows, and floors; old heating, electrical, and mechanical systems; and inadequate security and safety features. As expensive as $219 million sounds, this is a good time to sell bonds since construction costs are at historic lows. In addition, the district will get the long-term benefits that come from new buildings operating about 30 percent more efficiently that old ones. So, then, what’s the bottom line, financially speaking? Surprisingly, if the bond passes, the owner of a $500,000 home will pay about $200 LESS per year. That financial magic happens because previous bonds that are being retired will save voters more than the new bonds add. The retiring bond debt will drop the tax rate from $4.85 to $4.05 per $1,000 of assessed property value; approval of the new bond will bump the estimated tax rate up to only about $4.42, significantly less that the current rate. Because bonds are like a home mortgage – and affect taxpayers over a number of years – it takes a “super majority” yes vote, that is, “60 percent plus one” to approve them. Voters need to make this issue a priority since other “hot button” issues and races won’t be on the ballot. The district has prepared a needed and carefully thought out blueprint for our schools. Voters should to say “yes.” – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

Editor’s Note: Patrick Rexroat was sentenced to four years in prison March 9 for the drunk driving accident that killed Steve Lacey of Kirkland..
Let’s hold drunk drivers accountable BY REP. ROGER GOODMAN
My neighbor in Kirkland, Steve Lacey, was a father of two, a Google engineer headed to Costco on a sunny weekend afternoon when a drunk driver killed him. I drive that way all the time. It could have been me. Or maybe you. The drunk driver who pleaded guilty this week to killing Steve had a 0.29 blood-alcohol Roger Goodman level, three times the legal limit. Patrick Rexroat might only serve 32 months in prison, after taking “earned early release” time into account. But Steve Lacey’s wife and kids have lost Steve forever. That doesn’t feel like justice to me. We need to be tougher on drunk drivers. Because you’re three times more likely to get maimed or killed on our roads than at the hands of a violent criminal.
And because no child should ever have to lose a mom or dad in a senseless car wreck. That’s why I’m continuing my aggressive fight to reduce deaths and injuries from drunk driving. I’m calling for stronger laws that make it impossible to vacate DUI felonies and that add cameras to ignition interlock devices, so offenders can’t game the system (HB 2443). We need to pay attention to the kids. I say it’s time to increase penalties for drunk driving whenever there’s a minor in the car (HB 2302). I’ve heard horrifying 911 calls from kids driven by drunk parents - incredible! And what about Steve Lacey’s kids? Locking up drunk driver Patrick Rexroat won’t bring Steve back. As his wife, Nabila Lacey, wrote to me, she and her kids have been sentenced to a life without Steve, with no possibility of parole. The same is true for all children whose parents are killed by drunk drivers. I propose requiring DUI offenders who kill to pay child support for the kids of their victims. That’s true accountability, and it’s fair. Why should a surviving mom or dad be forced to work two jobs – or sell the family home and move into an apartment? It wouldn’t cost taxpayers anything to require DUI killers to do the right thing. As taxpayers we spend a lot of money arresting, prosecuting and locking up rapists, robbers and murderers. As we should. Those who threaten public safety need to be stopped.
But the fact is that year after year, the deaths and serious injuries on our roadways vastly exceed the damage inflicted by violent criminals. I’m proud I’ve helped Washington pass strong laws that have sharply reduced DUI fatalities on our roads and highways. But hundreds of our neighbors, like Steve Lacey, are still being killed by drunk drivers every year. As long as the carnage continues, we need to ask: Is there more we can do? The answer is clearly “Yes!” Police, prosecutors and victims-rights groups agree that we should increase accountability for offenders and protections for victims by passing the stronger laws. Most importantly, we must change the culture, so friends don’t let friends drive after they’ve had “just had a few.” Ever. It’s not worth a life. If you drink and drive and kill someone, you shouldn’t be able to serve a couple years and then move on with your life. Not while your victims pick up the pieces. Not when the cost to society and taxpayers is so high. Let’s hold drunk drivers more accountable for a lifetime of damage caused to victims’ families. Let’s do it now.
Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirkland) represents the 45th Legislative District, which includes Sammamish. He is vice chair of the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee and vice chair of the Judiciary Committee.

‘Take me to the Issaquah jail’ news@issaquahreporter.com
The following information was compiled from Issaquah and Sammamish police reports: A man repeatedly visited the Issaquah jail in hopes of getting committed there instead of in Seattle where he was convicted of his crimes. The Issaquah jail has a reputation for being one of the nicest in the state. At one time someone famous paid to serve his time there. On three occasions March 2-3 a man brought his commitment papers to the jailhouse, upset with the officers who wouldn’t take him. He threatened to make them arrest him, but they assured him any new crimes would just add to his sentence. The officers finally offered him a ride to the Seattle jail. He accepted.
Train camp Police found a transient camp was established inside an old railroad car at the Issaquah History Museums’
POLICE BLOTTER train depot March 3. The officer advised the museums to clean it up and secure it so transients would come back.
Snatch and run A woman called police March 9 after she watched a man grab a package off her front door step of her Sammamish home, jump in the passenger side of a green SUV and take off northbound on 236 Avenue Northeast. The box contained $60 worth of herbal sweeteners.
Drunken mother Police were dispatched to the Boys and Girls Club at Samantha Smith Elementary Monday, March 5 after a mother allegedly came to school to try and pick up her children while drunk. Two girls were upset and said their mom was “acting wired” and refused to get in the car with her. When a daycare official confronted the woman, she said she could smell a
strong odor of intoxicants. A brief argument ensued and the woman took her son and left her two daughters behind. When police arrived at the woman’s home, they detected a strong odor of intoxicants, but due to significant amount of time elapsing, couldn’t determine when she last had a drink. The officer explained to the woman he would be forwarding his observations on to Child Protective Services.
Window of opportunity A Sammamish resident reported someone entered his home March 9 and stole a laptop and a digital camera with two lenses, valued at $1,400. It appeared the burglars entered the home in the 2200 block of 226th Place Northeast through an open window on the side of the garage.

an intoxicated man was found lying face down near the front of the store in the 2900 block of 228th Avenue Southeast. When the officer tried to talk to the man, he began rolling around on the floor, staggered to his feet and became belligerent by swearing at the officer and looking at him with an “evil stare.” The man twice blew a .278 on the portable breathalyzer. Medics eventually took him to the hospital for involuntary detox after he vomited on the grocery store floor and soiled himself.
Up in smoke Four juveniles were found inside a parked in a Sammamish neighborhood March 3 with a milky white substance floating through the air. When an officer approached the vehicle, he detected a strong odor of marijuana — strong enough to where it left a foul taste in his mouth. The officer found a plastic container with 15.3 grams of marijuana, a bong and a pipe.

Fiddler on the Roof Nov. 7-Dec. 30 This Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical has entertained audiences for nearly 50 years. It includes some of the most beloved songs in musical theater such as, “Sunrise, Sunset,” “Matchmaker,” and “If I Were A Rich Man.”
The Mousetrap Jan. 16-Feb. 24 Written by Agatha Christie, “The Mousetrap” is the longest-running play in modern history, tracking more than 24,500 performances to date. It’s the tale of eight inhabitants stranded by a snowstorm, one murderer, and one nameless target — but how many will get hit in the crossfire?
Packages offer five shows for the price of four. General admission prices range from $120-$250, with additional discounts available for seniors (65+) and youth (18 and under). Tickets are available through Village Theatre’s Box Office at 425-392-2202 or online at www.villagetheatre.org. Performances take place at the Francis J. Gaudette Theatre, 303 Front St. N. Issaquah.
Trails

Chicago May 8-June 29 The longest running American musical in Broadway history, as well as an Academy Award-winning movie, “Chicago” is famous for its satire on institutional corruption and the concept of the “celebrity criminal,” as well as for the signature dance stylings of Bob Fosse.

Last week, Village Theatre announced its 2012-2013 Mainstage Season lineup, set to open in mid-September. The shows include classic musicals, “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Chicago,” “Big River,” the play, “Mousetrap,” and “Trails,” a new musical” developed through Village Originals. Village Executive Producer Robb Hunt said musicals are selected through listening to audience and performer feedback. “After 32 years in Issaquah, announcing this season is just as exciting as it was in 1979,” said Hunt, who noted the loyal season ticket-holders the theater has developed throughout the years. Of Village’s more than 18,000 subscribers, 5,281 have been season ticket-holders for more than 10 years. Here’s a break-down of the 2012-2013 season:

Ella Moss and her mother Penny, along with Julia, Jenny and Jordan Hepperle provide a first hand look at how girls lacrosse has taken off in Issaquah and Sammamish in the past five years. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Girls lacrosse explodes Sport’s popularity soaring among Issaquah, Sammamish females I knew a lot of the kids on the team and we were already friends.” Jordan has continued playing, joining off-season teams for tournaments and continuing to grow along with the sport, which has experienced a massive expansion in the area. Just four years after Jordan was forced to play with the boys for lack of a team, her 11 year-old sister, Julia, joined a girls youth program that has six teams for girls in grades three through eight. Watching the youth and high school programs grow has been especially exciting for the Hepperle family, which includes the sisters and their mother, Jenny, who doubles as Issaquah Youth Lacrosse girls program director. “It’s been really cool,” Jordan said of the game’s expansion in the area. “Some of the younger girls have only been playing two years less than the high schoolers, but they already
When Jordan Hepperle decided she wanted to try lacrosse in 2007, she ran into a small problem. Other hotbeds – Mercer Island and Bellevue – had been active in the sport for some time, but so few girls played the game on the youth level in Issaquah that when Hepperle went to sign up for a team, she realized she would have to adjust her expectations. “There were maybe three girls there,” Jordan said. “We were just put on a team.” Without the numbers to field a girls team let alone a full program at that time, Hepperle was placed on an existing boys team and was introduced to the far more physical game played on the boys side. “I didn’t even know there was a different thing for girls,” Jordan said. “It didn’t really matter because •

On the Eastside, 10 programs, broken down by school district (or school in the case of private schools like Eastside Catholic and Forest Ridge) cover Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, Kirkland and Mercer Island. In 2012, Bellarmine Prep, Highline, Gig Harbor and GrahamKapowsin added programs as well. The Issaquah School District’s high school program (which also includes those within the Snoqualmie Valley School District boundaries) has nearly tripled in size since it was formed in 2008 and will field varsity and JV squads this season with coaches Justin Waagbo and Penny Moss.

Defending state football champions will meet when Skyline hosts 2011 Florida 7A champion Manatee of Brandenton, Fla. on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Skyline High School. The game is planned to be nationally televised, according to Skyline Athletic Director Ryan Gilbert. “I think it’s great,” Gilbert said of the opportunity to showcase his football program nationally against another recognized program. “They have a big time, national caliber quarterback and we obviously do too.” Skyline will have Max Browne, who recently picked up an offer from Alabama, the defending national champs of college football, after leading Skyline to the 4A state title. Manatee will counter with Cord Sandberg, who took his Hurricanes to a 13-2 mark with nearly 2,200 yards and 19 touchdowns through the air to go with 10 scores and 800 yards on the ground. Gilbert also confirmed the Spartans are looking at another out-of-state opponent for 2012. The rumblings suggest that Skyline is looking at a trip to face the Cottonwood Colts from Salt Lake City, though that game is not finalized and could not be confirmed by Gilbert at this time. The time of the Manatee game is still TBD.

Eastside. Five Eastside programs including the Issaquah and Lake Washington school districts and Eastside Catholic School operate at the youth level with teams including fifth thru eighth graders. Eastside Catholic Athletic Director Scott Garvis was one of the driving forces behind getting lacrosse sanctioned by the state high school athletic association in Minnesota and said he has seen a similar growth pattern in Washington. At Eastside, nearly 90 percent of those playing lacrosse in the boys and girls programs were students who previously did not play a spring sport. “The more kids we can get connected to the school, the better atmosphere we have,” Garvis said. “Lacrosse is a huge addition to the spring program because you could be bringing up to 80 new kids out for sports between the boys and girls.

since relocating to the Pacific Northwest have continued to grow the game in the Issaquah area. “It just keeps getting better,” Moss said of the participation and performance level of the program. “Kids are able to play as young as second and third grade. I’ve coached my ninth graders this year since they were in fifth grade.” That is a significant change for a program that won only a handful of games during its inaugural season, primarily with first-time players. While there are only a pair of newcomers to the program this season, Moss said many girls have been drawn to the sport in recent years as a way to get out of a club soccer scene that is increasingly intense and demanding. “Soccer is so huge and there are so many levels and it’s just so competitive,” Moss said. “I think some kids are burnt out on it and are looking for something different. It’s just something new.” But with the game’s growth on the youth level, it may very well be the norm for the next generation of girls around the

New buildings use up to 30 percent less energy, because of natural light and better insulation. That’s operations money that can be spent on teachers and curriculum, he said. The district can’t use saved capital projects money to pay teachers, but it can use the money to make the facilities as efficient and durable as possible. New buildings cost less to operate.

the remodel is as much an improvement for student learning as it is about the community taking pride in its high school. “I think people want good schools,” he said. “That’s why people move to Issaquah (school district).” Issaquah Reporter staff writer Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-3910363, ext. 5052.
Fix A Leak Week in Issaquah As part of national Fix A Leak Week, Cascade Water Alliance and the city of Issaquah sent toilet leak detection mailers to about 100,000 homes throughout the county March 12. The average American home wastes around 10,000 gallons of water each year from running toilets, dripping faucets and other household leaks, according to a Cascade press release. The mailers include dye strips that help determine whether there is a leak. For more information on leaks and other conservation programs visit www. cascadewater.org.
Celebration time at IHS Issaquah High School plans to celebrate the completion of its new facility with the public April 3. The school is planning a presentation on the construction project, tours of the building and student music and art showcases. The event is at 6 p.m. at the new school, 700 2nd Ave. S.E. The performing arts wing was opened to students in the Fall, but the staff wanted to wait until the space received its final touches, before inviting the community to celebrate. The rebuild was result of a 2006 bond measure.

An Auburn man plummeted to his death off Rattlesnake Ridge on March 9 in what so far appears to be an accident. Another hiker saw the 32-year-old man near the ledge. When the hiker looked back again, the man was gone. The hiker saw the man’s body laying 300 feet below. He hiked down to find the man had died. Sheriff ’s deputies confirmed his death. A team of about 30 search and rescue responders helped carry the man’s body out. Rattlesnake Ridge is just east of Tiger Mountain and south of Snoqualmie.

Bunsen burners – common lab equipment. The district added the fans when it remodeled two of Liberty’s science labs, but the remaining science classrooms won’t get the improvements until another bond passes. Before the remodel, teacher Alisa Jermica was in one of the leastequipped rooms. Her students worked on long tables instead of at lab stations – waist-high booths equipped with gas and plenty of electrical outlets. Her space is now so enviable that she’ll occasionally swap rooms with teachers so they, too, can run larger experiments. At first the district didn’t plan to fully remodel Liberty. The last capital bond provided $15 million for a new performing arts space. The project is now well under way. The finished product would be similar to Issaquah High School with a 600-seat auditorium, orchestra pit and black box theater. As a planning committee began filling out the details for the new arts center, DeLetis encouraged them to take a second look at Liberty. The group decided the school needed more extensive improvements. The district got a head start by giving a few extra dollars for classroom remodels, including Jermica’s science lab. The school is depending on April’s bond to provide another $44 million to finish the remodel. The plan touches every part of Liberty’s campus, except the main gym, which received upgrades in the 1990s. The narrow A-frame entryway would be combined with the student commons to create an open space. Administrative offices would move to the front of the school, giving a better view of whose coming and going. Heading to the ground floor of the classroom wing, DeLetis greets a teacher in the hall. It’s state testing week, but he wants to show the cramped classrooms. Unlocking the door to a math room, he flips on the lights. “We call it the bunker, because there are no windows,” he says. Rooms that have windows aren’t much of an improvement. They’re just a bit larger than a dog door. Plans for a remodel would provide enough natural light that most days
