Issaquah-based Equine Escapes thrives two years after devastating barn fire BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

“This is something that we’re very passionate about. It’s been a dream of mine forever.”
he memories still haunt Doug Madden and Kelly Bolen — sometimes feeling like it was just yesterday a 3-alarm fire destroyed their Snoqualmie barn and took the lives of two of their beloved horses. But, nearly two years after the - Kelly Bolen tragedy, there is also a sense they trail rides, children’s camps and parties. couldn’t be farther away from the Their new property, located off Issaquahhard times. Fall City Road just north of Klahanie, fea-
“It’s amazing when something like that happens,” said Bolen, of the May 1, 2010 fire. “You don’t automatically go into the grieving process, you go into, ‘OK, what do I need to do to make sure who is left is taken care of.’” The couple has since moved to Issaquah where the last 14 months they’ve operated Equine Escapes — a business started four years ago in Snoqualmie focused on horse
tures close to 20 acres and includes a 3-acre lake stocked with trout. “I can’t believe we found this place,” Bolen said. “When you go down the hill, it’s like you’re in your own sanctuary.” Along with a land upgrade, the couple has added to their family of horses. Left with eight after the fire, they now have 13 — with the two most recent additions Bubba and
Isabelle joining the herd last week. “In this economy, it’s nice to find a good horse that needs a good home,” Madden said. While trail rides are a focus, not all of the Equine Escape horses are used for riding. Bolen, who has raised horses since she was a girl and has been involved in horse rescue, puts a heavy emphasis on letting the 1,200-pound animals decide what they want to do. “You go to some places that do trail rides and the horses are head down, nose to butt, it’s almost like they don’t have any more will or spirit,” she said. “We don’t believe in that. We honor and respect the horse.” Bolen said there’s no other interaction quite like the one between humans and horses. “They can sense your emotion, they can sense your energy, they can even sense your intention and they see us for who we are,” she said. “There’s a saying that you can never lie to a horse because they see you, not the mask or the facade we put on for everybody SEE EQUINE, 7
The Issaquah, Renton and Sammamish communities secured the second phase of Liberty High School’s renovation in a landslide vote Tuesday. Without the bond, the school would have been left half-baked with two performing arts centers and out of date science rooms. “It really speaks to the priorities of the community,” said Issaquah School District Board President Chad Magendanz. While the ISD has had a positive history with recent bonds, the support shown tuesday overwhelmed board members. Since the economic downturn, few districts in the state have had much success at the polls, said Magendanz. “I was cautiously optimistic,” he said. “I don’t think anyone would have anticipated that we would have gotten such a high approval.” Tuesday night’s first count showed that 70 percent of voters supported the bond. The district needed a supermajority vote, 60 percent, to win. Mercer Island’s bond failed and Renton’s was barely succeeding at 60.28 percent Wednesday. SEE SCHOOL BOND, 2

SCHOOL BOND CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
The $219 million bond focuses on replacing aging schools. The past couple decades the district has gone through extensive growth. As a result, the bonds were focused on new schools to accommodate all the new students. Issaquah Middle School will switch campuses with Clark Elementary, and they’ll both be rebuilt. Sunny Hills Elementary in Sammamish, which relies on 11 portables, will get a completely new space. The bond also puts in $12 million for remodeling and adding covered stadiums
at all three high schools Magendanz praised the district’s vetting process for the bond’s success. As a result, he said, there was no group that opposed the measure. “We really ran this proposal through the wringer.” The board stretched the bond across eight years, instead of the typical 4-6, to reduce the tax rate. ISD homeowners will see the capital bond rate drop by 48 percent, about $215 less per year. Hoisting signs decorated with yellow school buses into the air, parent volunteers rallied the vote Monday afternoon at major intersections in Issaquah. “It’s genuinely a smart bond,” said Victoria Evans.

A STRONG ‘YES’ Issaquah voters put schools at the top of their priorities
H
ats off, congratulations and wow to Issaquah voters for overwhelmingly approving a bond issue to fix and rebuild our schools. In an election night that saw nearby school districts lose their bond elections or still barely holding on, Issaquah answered “yes” in landslide numbers. A total of 70 percent of Issaquah voters said “yes” to the $219 million bond, far, far above the 60 percent needed for approval. Why the big number? School Board President Chad Magendanz said it best by noting, “it really speaks to the priorities of the community.” Indeed. Issaquah has seen sustained growth over a number of years, putting pressure on its schools. Letting that continue simply isn’t acceptable. Especially if we expect our children to get the education they need to succeed in life. As a result of the coming influx of money, the campuses of both Issaquah Middle School and Clark Elementary School will be rebuilt. The two schools also will change campuses. In addition, Sunny Hills in Sammamish, which packs students into 11 portables, will get new space. There’s even something for the sports fans: the stadiums at the three high school will get some covering. While Issaquah school and community leaders expressed surprise over the large, supportive vote, it speaks volumes to their efforts that there was no organized opposition to the measure. That only comes when backers do a thorough job of crafting an issue and explaining it to the voters. One of the best things about spending money on schools, is that the benefits continue year-after-year. The students moving through the new and remodeled schools now will have additional educational tools to make their success in life all the more possible. That’s good for them, and also the rest of us.
This and That The on-going story over wasteful spending by the General Services Administration turns up some interesting numbers. A source told CNN that the agency’s budget for its biennial conference went from over $655,000 in 2008 to $820,000 in 2010, then noting that it increase was only 28 percent higher. What is it about “only” and “28 percent” that makes some people think they belong together? – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Assimilate this, Seattle I
’m a nerd. A few weekends ago my husband agreed to take me to Emerald City Comicon for a date night. While I’m only an ensign on the geek status, I get a kick out of watching the captains of comic show off their costume designs. I also wasn’t going to give up the chance to meet Christopher Judge, the man who “indeed” played Teal’c on Stargate SG-1. The drawback on my jaunt to the Washington Convention Center wasn’t the long lines Celeste Gracey of people with bad gas (or maybe it was just bad hygiene), it was the hour of circling around downtown Seattle trying to find parking. Before criticizing me for refusing to embark on a bus, let me fill you in on the bus systems on the Eastside. I have to walk a mile from my condo to even reach a stop. Once I get there, buses that may or may not
connect me to where I want to go fly by maybe every 30 minutes. No, I don’t live on Titan, I live in West Bellevue. You may call me a “stuck up halfwitted, scruffy looking nerfherder” for discounting the Park and Ride option, but consider that while the parking may be free – assuming you can find a spot – the round-trip bus fare for two people hits $10. We paid that for the private parking spot we eventually found. Although we added our car to downtown Seattle’s traffic for an hour, we moved at warp speed compared to poorly timed bus routes. Our contribution to the hole in the Ozone might have been cut short, had there been an open parking garage within a mile radius of downtown. After idling a loop around the Convention Center, we decided to give street parking on Capitol Hill a try. It seemed a practical idea, until we realized we would have to refill the meter twice and shell out $24 for public parking. What is wrong with you, Seattle? Not only is the Convention Center
as poorly placed on I-5 as NBC’s The Event was on primetime, but it doesn’t even have enough parking to host a nerd expo. Apparently, the city’s transportation policies are as cold to outsiders as Mr. Freeze’s cryogenic suit. While Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn touts about his new spandex bike shorts as a solution to his offensive parking rates, his Utopian dreams ignore the reality that most bound for Seattle have little choice. It’s like the Eastside is full of Romulans, and he’s trying to ward off an invasion. He’s also forgotten that traffic that flows and parking lots that always have a few extra spots are good for business. There isn’t a social service agency that can replace a real job. If Seattle wants to keep Eastsiders coming to its performing arts venues, eating at its delectable restaurants and hanging out at its convention center, it needs to address its attitude toward the suburbs. Otherwise someday we’ll be fist bumping George Takei on the Eastside of the galaxy.

Cash mob hits ‘Lucky’ Issaquah business in that the winner was notified a few days prior to the event, instead of the morning of. People were also asked to buy items, but not spend a specific monetary amount. “We want to be able to benefit business, we don’t want to stress them out,” Slade said. The concept was new to Bill Glassey, but well received. The survey project manager, who works across the parking lot, was the first through the door and the first to buy an item. His wife heard about the event on the radio and immediately called and asked him to participate. “It’s something we’ve been talking about buying anyway,” Glassey said, noting it was a wedding pres-

KEVIN ENDEJAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter “When I saw it, I thought this looks too cool,” Perea said. He passed the idea off to Slade, whose young profes-

With a crowd of 50-plus patrons lined up outside Lucky You!, it was far from a typical Monday for Denise Jensen — or any business day for that matter. Selected as the inaugural Issaquah Cash Mob recipient, Jensen’s home decor shop was swarmed by the large crowd following the cut of a ribbon by Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce representative Nate Perea and Young Issaquah Professional chairwoman Audrey Slade. The general idea behind a cash mob is to organize a group of people to congregate at a locally-owned business and infuse their collective cash into the local merchant’s register. “It’s a fabulous way to promote business,” said Jensen, who opened Lucky You! six months ago in Gilman Village. “I’m looking forward to when they do this with other people so I can go support them. I just think it’s incredible.” Perea first obtained the cash mob idea via an email. Although there wasn’t enough time to organize a local gathering on March 24, the actual National Cash Mob Day, there was no way Issaquah was missing out on the unique opportunity.

In future years, the lucky business will likely be voted on through various social media outlets. There will also be “mob bosses,” who will be rewarded with prizes for gathering the largest group of participants. “It’s supporting local, it’s bettering our community, it’s getting other people to get out and connect with other people — it’s really everything that we wanted it to be,” Slade said.

Fake grandson scams elderly couple of $90K BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The following information was compiled from Sammamish police reports: An elderly Sammamish couple called police April 13 after discovering they were scammed out of nearly $90,000 by a man claiming to be their grandson. The man called on three separate occasions in early April, requesting money be wired to him after he was in a terrible car accident in Georgia. The final request was for $77,500 for bail. The
couple sent all three payments. The Sammamish residents said the man on the other end sounded exactly like their grandson and that he requested they not say anything to parents for fear of getting in trouble. They didn’t discover they’d actually been scammed until their actual grandson called them April 13, asking if they wanted him to mow their yard. The case was sent to the Seattle FBI office for further investigation.

else in the world to see.” As one of the few businesses of its kind in the greater Seattle area, Equine Escapes offers a variety of services. There are a number of trail rides, ranging from one-hour excursions, to full-day cookouts, to overnight campouts. All rides are done off property on various horse trails. They also offer several options on property, including lessons and three levels of children’s summer camps. Kids are also able to interact with the three goats, two pot belly pigs, one rabbit, 11 chickens, two ducks, barn cat and two dogs. The couple is currently constructing three teepees for an overnight guest ranch designed for women’s retreats — a project they hope to have finished by July. While they’ll never forget the difficult
times, Bolen, a former IT specialist for the US Coast Guard, and Madden, a former firefighter, couldn’t be more happy they continued to live out their dream. Even when bad luck seemed to pile on and three of their horses were attacked by a cougar days after the barn fire, there was never thought of calling it quits. “We didn’t even think about shutting down,” Bolen said. “This is something that we’re very passionate about. It’s been a dream of mine forever.”

WIAA votes down helmet, shoulder pads initiative

Rob Johnson, pictured along with son Robbie Johnson, at Gold’s Gym in Issaquah. Robbie, 16, will compete in the Emerald Cup bodybuilding competition, just three years after deciding to hit the weights hard.
The WIAA Representative Assembly recently voted down a proposed amendment that would have banned use of school owned helmets and shoulder pads during the off-season with 43 of 48 voters opposed. Here is the complete list of passed amendments.
• MS/HS #5: 17.5.7 - Coaches may meet with squads to prepare for summer leadership training
• HS #8: 17.14.0 - Prohibits contests against college freshmen
JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
• MS/HS #9: 18.19.2.c - 8th graders may be used to salvage JV basketball teams to reach 16 players
Issaquah sophomore muscles up football, but he made such incredible gains he ended up asking me if there were competitions for teenagers.” So for the past three years, father and son have spent hours training together every day at Gold’s Gym in Issaquah. The pair rises around 5:30 a.m. on weekdays for an hour of cardiovascular work before returning home so Robbie can get in a meal before school. He packs three more to take along and eats a total of six meals in a given day, mostly fish and broccoli unless he is in a weight gain cycle, when he would trend towards more red meat, potatoes and other starches. “Everything looks good when you’re on the diet,” Robbie said. “It’s hard to give it all up but in the end it will be worth it.” After school and another quick
Three years ago it would have been difficult to pick Robbie Johnson out of a group of his peers. The then 12-yearold was slightly built and basically average size for his age. None of those things are true today. Three years after joining his father Rob at the gym as a workout partner and just a week removed from his 16th birthday, Robbie will take part in his first bodybuilding competition at the Emerald Cup at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center. He will compete in the Juniors division, which is for ages 13-20. “I had no aspirations of him being a bodybuilder,” the elder Johnson said. “I thought it may help him with •

meal, Robbie and his father are back at the gym for a weight lifting session, which is followed by dinner, homework and a night of sleep before doing it all again the following day. The intensity has steadily grown as the competition has crept closer and the elder Johnson said he hopes the years of preparation can serve his son beyond the stage as well. Despite the common notion that bodybuilding is tied with steroids and only unseemly methods are commonplace in the industry, Rob was adamant that keeping his son a natural bodybuilder was far more important than an award at a show, even one as big as Emerald Cup. “He’s growing so well on his own and at his age his body is pumping out enough testosterone as it is,” he said. “For guys that want to do it, that’s fine. But that’s not what I want for my son.”

• HS #16: 63.5.1 - Criteria for two-day tennis tournament to count as one-day event
The amendments were proposed in February and were discussed at the Winter Coalition in March. The votes were submitted online and needed to receive 60 percent of majority approval to be ratified. The WIAA Representative Assembly is comprised of administrators from member schools in each of the nine districts. They are empowered to pass legislation and to direct the WIAA Executive Board to carry out its policies. Complete voting results are available on the WIAA website, wiaa.com.
