Eastlake’s Monisha Gulabani becomes second Presidential Scholar in family BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
B
eing named one of 141 Presidential Scholars in the nation is remarkable in itself. Consider that Sammamish resident Monisha Gulabani is the second member of her family to achieve the rare distinction and, well, it’s virtually unheard of. “The main common thread between both of us doing this is that we’ve both been fortunate enough to go to Eastlake and have the opportunity to learn from the teachers here and be inspired by them,” said a modest Gulabani. Last Wednesday, May 2, the 18-year-old was notified by the United States Department of Education that she was the female selection from Washington state. Her sister, Anisha, who is preparing to graduate from Harvard this spring, won the award in 2008 while attending Eastlake. “We are very grateful for the good educa-
tion both the girls have had in the Lake Washington School District,” said mother, Kavita, noting that a good home environment and a focus on maintaining a hard work ethic were also crucial. In all, one male and one female scholar are chosen per state, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and from U.S. families living abroad. Winners were picked based on outstanding academic achievements, artistic excellence, leadership, citizenship, service and contributions to school and community. “I just feel very privileged to be able to have the opportunity to be a Presidential Scholar and meet the other students who received this award,” Monisha said. “I’m inspired by the determination of others, so I’m honored.” It wasn’t hard for the Commission on Presidential Scholars to pick Eastlake’s academic star out of a crowd. The 4.0 student, who will attend the University of Pennsylvania-Wharton School of Business next fall, stays plenty active inside and outside of school. She’s a committee chair for Eastlake’s Science Honor Society, co-president of East-
“She’s been so positive and so humble and so thankful. We see that so rarely as teachers that it really does stand out.” - Rachelle Horner, teacher lake’s Junior Orthopedic Guild for Seattle Children’s Hospital and a committee chair for the Eastlake Relay for Life. Her involvement with the latter two organizations are personal. At 12, Monisha was diagnosed with Synovial Cell Sarcoma — one of the most common pediatric soft tissue cancers. The SEE SCHOLAR, 12
A show dog breeder accused of housing one hundred dogs in feces and starving them has been charged with animal cruelty. Margaret Ann Hamilton, 70, of Issaquah was the only suspect charged, after her husband, James, died a few weeks after the October 2011 discovery. Fourteen of the dogs were so ill when King County Animal Control discovered them, veterinarians euthanized them. Many of the pups had dental problems, some so severe their jaws rotted off. In one case, a pregnant dog named “beauty” had such an advanced case of periodontal disease, that in an attempted cleaning, the dog lost three teeth, according to the charging papers. Police first learned about the ill and emaciated dogs after members of Pasado’s Safe Haven broke into a home in Burien. They turned in a video of the basement, where roughly half the couple’s dogs were kenneled, according to the papers. Police questioned the Burien homeowner until his arrest, SEE CRUELTY, 8

Get ready for the smell of fresh flowers, fried donuts and kettle corn to waft across the Plateau on a regular basis. Mayor Tom Odell will launch the fifth annual Sammamish Farmers Market at 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, with a ceremonial ringing of the bell outside City Hall. “We had a wonderfully successful season last year,” said market manager Juliana Pash, noting there was double-digit growth in terms of customers in 2011. The market will run from 3-7 p.m., every Wednesday through Oct. 3 with the only exception will be Wednesday, July 4.
Hours are adjusted slightly from previous years, when it ran from 4-8 p.m. There was an average of 35 vendors last year and numbers are expected to be the same this year. There are 39 approved vendors — 34 of which are returning. Pash said there will be at least 13 farmers on hand, including a new Asian produce farmer. People will also be able to purchase items from a variety of artists, an Irish bakery, a donut maker and many other types of merchants. “Wednesdays at City Hall are always nice in the summer,” City Manager Ben Yazici said. “It’s great to see the community come out, support the vendors, and enjoy themselves at City Hall Plaza.”

Issaquah company turns grocery store waste to fertilizer BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
An Issaquah company is taking a method once reserved for treating sewage sludge and using it to make organic fertilizer from a grocery store’s food waste. WISErg has been working with PCC Natural Markets for two years to unveil its first “harvester” at Pickering Place. In the past, PCC each week would have a local composting company pick up about 600-800 pounds of unsold food. Larry Lesueur, WISErg CEO, saw something greater in the spoiled greens and cold pizza. “We wanted to do something bigger and better than compost,” he said. “Expert gardeners know that you need fertilizer, too.” So in 2009 he paired up with another former Microsoft techie, Jose Lugo, who was also interested in environmental issues. Their idea was to build harvesters where the scraps could be dumped. Compost haulers typically visited PCC 2-3 times a week. Today, WISErg sends a truck every 10 days to the harvester at the
Larry Lesueur, WISErg CEO, unveiled the company’s first operating ‘harvester,’ which takes grocery scraps and turns them into fertilizer. CELESTE GRACEY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter PCC with a goal of reducing trips to once or twice a month.
Wills & Estate Planning
Most of the processing happens in the harvester. Behind the store, employees put
the food scraps into the grinder, which works much like an oversized household garbage disposal. Water sprays down on top of greens and cobs of corn, while hefty grinders mash the mixture. The machine then pumps the liquid into a 12-foot holding tank, which swirls it at a cozy 96 degrees, the perfect temperature for what scientists call “anaerobic digestion” – composting without air. “It’s like a big brewery,” said Brandon Baker of WISErg. The company’s first model came with a stench, but after reworking the design, the installation is now odor free. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, which are like steroids for plants, the organic fertilizer adds nutrients to the soil and plants. It might even require the need for less fertilizer, Lesueur said. PCC plans to sell the finished product, WISErganic, in several of its stores. Issaquah Reporter staff writer Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

VACCINATIONS Protect yourself – and others
W
e have an epidemic in our state. It’s whooping cough and it shouldn’t be happening. The problem is that too many people aren’t keeping booster shots up to date to prevent the illness. Whooping cough – it’s also known as pertussis – is a contagious bacterial infection that causes severe coughing. The disease can be life-threatening for young children. Without vaccinations or booster shots, many more people are put at risk because the disease can spread. It’s easy for people to forget what vaccinations they need – and when. If that’s you, make an appointment with your physician and discuss the issue. A shot is a pretty easy alternative to being exposed – or exposing someone else – to a life-threatening disease. Stop stalling – and roll up those sleeves.
WHY TEXTING IS ILLEGAL
I
f you needed any more evidence to prove that texting while driving is dangerous, you only have to look at the photo above. A driver rolled her Toyota Rav 4, creating a one-car accident that blocked the eastbound lanes of Interstate I-90 in the Mount Baker tunnel. The driver said she was was texting and looking down at her phone prior to the collision. Realizing traffic had stopped she attempted to avoid a collision, but lost control of her vehicle and struck the left barrier. To make matters worse, the 520 bridge was closed that day, causing a huge traffic backup. Texting while driving is illegal in our state and the driver was issued a $175 ticket. We’re pretty sure drivers stuck in the resulting mess had some other punishment in mind. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Bus column had it right I just wanted to tell you how much I liked this article (“Assimilate this, Seattle,” Opinion, April 20). I live in Bellevue just above Factoria and the Richards Road stop near by. But to get a bus to Seattle, I have to walk a mile and a half or wait for a bus then go one stop and then wait for another bus. With the new lower service introduced last year, it is now faster for me to drive to Mount Rainier on a Sunday than take the bus with a transfer to Seattle. Louis Derrico, Bellevue
Merging not difficult Kevin Endejan’s recent column about driving and merging brought laughter to the LaBrue household. I grew up in Fresno, CA. Before graduation from high school, every student there received one year of driver education. One semester was lecture and the second semester was behind the wheel in new Chevrolets. The experience proved good drivers are made not born. Yes, California drivers can and do pay attention. They understand the rules of the road, needing to retake the driver test every few years. Merging onto a boulevard or freeway receives the attention and courtesy it deserves. In Fresno, if you stop at the end of the roadway ramp, you are likely to become the hood ornament on the car behind you. It’s
pretty simple if you know the rules and have the skill. Several summers ago, we drove a rental car in Norway where the onramps have large “Zipper” roadway signs that graphically demonstrate how drivers must allow the next car to merge. Then, there is a promised 100 Krona fine if you don’t obey. That certainly captured the Norwegians’ attention. All merging was textbook perfect. Maybe it would work here? Terry LaBrue, Issaquah
Vote inflation I see by the news that the Romney campaign spent up to $12,000 per vote in some of the primary contests. I have always voted for principles but my wife and I are on Social Security. If offered that kind of money for my vote I would have to swallow hard to turn it down. It sure puts to shame the Chicago ward heelers passing out $5 bills at the polls. Carl Schwartz, Sammamish
What’s in a name? Don’t get me started
M
y name is Keegan. And I am girl. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the only female Keegan I know. It’s a gift and a curse, having an androgynous name - and while I’m generally proud of my moniker, I’d be lying if I said it’s always been easy to accept. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: I’m five years old and mom and dad sign me up for soccer at the local Boys and Girls club. I arrive on the first day, scrunchy in hair, pink cleats laced, to discover I’m the only girl on an all boys’ team. “Oops. We thought Keegan was a boy.” Repeat for basketball and t-ball signs-ups through age 10. Eight years later, I’m 13, and I’ve finally escaped the stress that is co-ed Keegan Prosser sports. I’m absolutely ecstatic when my mom tells me I’ve received a piece of mail that’s actually addressed to me. That is, until I see it’s a letter from the government to Mr. Keegan Prosser. Am I annoyed? Yes. Surprised? Nope. This is standard in the Prosser house, as my older brother, Kelly, has been receiving beauty pageant invitations for years. Fast forward to senior year of high school. I’m 17 and college is on the brain. I’ve spent countless hours writing essays, explaining who I am - and after all the paperwork and screenings - I’ve been accepted to all the universities I apply. The kicker? Half the acceptance letters are ad-
dressed to Mr. Prosser. They like me, they want me. They think I’m a dude. You might think after 22 years of explaining that, contrary to popular belief, Keegan is a girl’s name too, I’d be used to the genuine surprise on the other end of the phone when it’s met with a female voice. Especially in relation to my career. I’m a reporter; I cold-call strangers every day. Nope. So imagine my reaction on my first day at the Issaquah/ Sammamish Reporter, when I’m forwarded an e-mail from the IT department giving the new employee “his” passwords. Darn it. I understand it’s a common mistake. And all things considered, I wouldn’t say that having a gender-neutral name has made my life any more difficult than it would have been otherwise. As far as my brother’s problems he’ll be the first to admit he’s got a “pretty” name. And in the celebrity-driven culture that exists today, it looks like the my parents were ahead of the trend. I mean, Jessica Simpson just gave her baby girl TWO boy names (Maxwell Drew). You can’t tell from the photo with this column, but I have a flaming mane of red hair. How appropriate then, that Keegan also means “little fiery one” in Gaelic. Touché, parents, Touché. Staff writer Keegan Prosser can be reached at 425-4534602 or kprosser@bellevuereporter.com

Voting when it matters
Issaquah and Sammamish lawmakers top the list for most missed votes in Olympia BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Issaquah’s and Sammamish’s three state lawmakers missed more votes in Olympia this past legislative session than other legislators in the House or Senate. While the Washington Policy Center, the organization behind the scorecard, insists that the missed votes are an important tool in measuring lawmakers, the District 5 representatives said the figures can be misleading. “Not all votes are equal,” said Rep. Jay Rodne, who said he missed most of his 62 votes on weekends when he was serving in the Marine Corp Reserves. “Missing a budget vote is a big deal. Missing a vote on the concurrence calendar is not a big deal.” In one day, a legislative body can take 25 votes on minor issues. The real thing that matters is whether representatives are present for controversial bills, said Rep. Glenn Anderson, who missed the most votes of all, 95. There should be a system weighing those important bills more heavily.
Letter carriers to collect food The National Association of Letter Carriers will be delivering mail and collecting food on May 12 with their annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive. The drive benefits local food banks. Last year, Hopelink received 134,459 pounds of food from the drive, according to Scott Milne, Hopelink foodprogram manager. Although the Stamp Out Hunger drive collects mostly food, Milne said cash donations are sometimes given as well. “Money is really nice because when we do have
a shortage we can utilize these funds to purchase items that we’re low on,” he said.

Also honored was an ecoleaders program for fifth graders at Issaquah Valley Elementary that launched

Sammamish continues to weigh home business regs With an estimated 4,000 home businesses spread throughout its neighborhoods, there’s little debate — Sammamish is unique compared to its Eastside counterparts. “I don’t think there’s too many other cities that have the amount of home-based businesses in Washington,” said Deb Sogge, Sammamish Chamber of Commerce executive director. But as more and more home businesses pop up around the city of 47,000, conversation continues to heat up about how to maintain a compatibility between business owners and surrounding neighborhoods. At its May 1 meeting, the Sammamish City Council discussed an ordinance that would change the current home business code — regulations that were inherited from King County in 1999 when Sammamish became a city. “When we go through this process we’re in a sense trying to custom taylor these a little better for us,” said Kamuron Gurol, director of community development. Gurol highlighted a list of recommended changes from the Planning Commission to the council. Under the current code, selling any item on-site or selling any goods produced offsite is prohibited. Products created on-site, like artwork, can be sold away from the home.
percentage of people who work out of their home,” Gerend said. “I think that’s good, I think we should encourage it because the more people that work out of their homes, the less congestion there is.” Councilmembers Tom Vance, John James and Nancy Whitten voiced their concerns for maintaining integrity within neighborhoods.
“I’m concerned that we’re wanting to be a little more liberal than we should be,” Vance said. “We should respect the fact that have home businesses, but I don’t want to drive a truck through the code to pretty much allow anything to happen.” The Council will take its second look at the proposed ordinance at its next meeting, Monday, May 14.

The Planning Commission recommended that all goods should be able to be sold on-site if an appointment was made between the buyer and seller. It would also allow for off-site products to be sold at the home business. That would clear up a lot of questions for business owners like Claudia Haunreiter, who has operated a hair salon from her Sammamish home the last 26 years. “With your situation of retail sales, if I made shampoo on the spot I could sell it, but I can’t sell (pre-made) shampoo?,” she asked. Other recommendations included moving from what is now no limit on appointment hours to a 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week; changing a maximum 50 percent usage of a home for business to no limit and reducing a no maximum on cars parked at the business to no more than three vehicles. “When you start restricting it back, you start affecting peoples’ incomes,” Haunreiter said. “Home businesses care about their neighbors, we’re also neighbors. We own our homes, we don’t want other people to do things that impact us negatively.” The council, which was without mayor Tom Odell last week, was split down the middle on the Planning Commission’s suggestions. Councilmembers Don Gerend, Romiro Valderrama and John Curley were in favor of the potential changes. “Being on the edge of the urban growth area, we find that we have a very high

dental disease and many had muscle deterioration from lack of exercise, according to the papers. Police say Hamilton hid four show dogs in a van in the garage for fear that they’d take them. The dogs were due for a show in Enumclaw the following weekend. Hamilton, who had also been a show judge, told police that she kept all her pups after their effective breeding or show life was over. She maintained throughout the police seizure that she could properly care for the dogs, and that they wouldn’t have taken her

when he revealed the that dogs belonged to the Hamiltons and that they were renting his basement. Police searched the Hamilton’s home in Issaquah, located on the 5900 block of 189th Avenue Southeast, and discovered another 62 dogs. Their home showed classic signs of hoarding with debris, clothes and household items stacked from floor to ceiling in every room of the house. The second bathroom
was so full of clothes and medicine that it couldn’t be used, according to the papers. Police attributed hoarding – their inability to part with the pets they had collected over the years – to the motivation behind the abuse. Most of the pups, mainly Chihuahuas and Japanese Chins, were in stacked crates in the living room. They were in better condition than the Burien home, but like those dogs they had feces matted hair, overgrown nails and were underweight. Some had developed heart murmurs,

Blood trail leads to drunken woman BY KEVIN ENDEJAN & CELESTE GRACEY NEWS@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The following information was compiled from city of Sammamish and Issaquah police reports. Someone called police when they heard a woman scream and then found blood and teeth in the lobby of an apartment building on the 900 block of Northeast High Street, April 17. Police arrived the same time as the firefighters. They followed a blood trail to an apartment to find a highly intoxicated 71-year-

Police found two youths tossing a hub cap like a frisbee along a busy intersection on Highlands Drive in Issaquah, when it landed in the roadway. Parents were asked to handle the situation on their own May 2.
old woman. She had fallen in the lobby and knocked her own teeth out.
TICKLE MATCH
VIOLENT THREATS A 47-year-old Sammamish man was arrested April 29 for threatening to shoot his ex-girlfriend. The intoxicated man became upset over a broken perfume bottle and made threats of choking and shooting the woman, who he still lived with. Police arrested the man after finding a loaded .45 caliber magazine in his front pocket.
DIAMOND MISSING
Police responded to a report of a man and woman assaulting each other in a car April 27 on the 2100 block of Newport Way in Issaquah, when they discovered it was a tickling match. When police arrived, the boyfriend was standing outside of the car, talking and smiling with his girlfriend, who was behind the wheel.
A Sammamish resident reported April 30 that someone stole a 2.25 karat diamond ring valued at $19,500 sometime between March and April. The resident, who traveled to Arizona for several weeks, said she put the ring in her dresser drawer. When she
Sammamish teen arrested for assault of girl, woman Detectives with the King County Sheriff ’s Office arrested a 16-year-old Sammamish resident Wednesday in connection with two assaults that occurred in Sammamish on Monday. The first assault occurred at about 3:30 p.m., in the 22700 block of NE 2nd St when a 10-year-old girl was walking home from her school bus stop and was grabbed from behind. She fought back and was able to escape to a neighbor’s house. The second assault occurred just after 7 p.m., in the 700 block of SE 240th Way. A 26-year-old woman was about to enter her condo when she was attacked from behind. The suspect ran away as soon as she screamed. She immediately told a neighbor, who photographed a male he saw nearby. That photograph taken by the neighbor led detectives to establish a positive ID on the suspect. He was booked into the King County Juvenile Detention Facility on charges of child molestation, communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and assault with sexual motivation.

Three claim Special Olympic medals
Ben Lane, fire captain with Eastside Fire and Rescue, has taken on endurance training to benefit his son Cooper’s fight with Irritable Bowel Disease. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
RACING FOR THE FUTURE Eastside Fire & Rescue captain runs, swims, bikes to fight disease BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@SOUNDPUBLSHING.COM
For Ben Lane, the pain is no obstacle. Regardless of the strain on his joints or the aches in his muscles during a triathlon, 10K or marathon, the 39-year-old father of two and captain with Eastside Fire and Rescue in Issaquah never has to look beyond his left wrist for the inspiration he needs to fight through the physical hardships. “TEAM CHALLENGE,” reads the rubber wristband Lane sports wherever he goes, a nod to the endurance training and fundraising arm of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. But when Lane looks down
he sees far more than a piece of orange rubber stretching around his arm. He sees his youngest son, Cooper, and he is struggling, too.
Building an Iron Man Long before becoming a veteran of the endurance racing circuit, Lane was an onlooker, watching in awe as his wife completed triathlons around the West Coast. A swimmer during her youth in California, Tiffani eventually persuaded her husband to join her in a relay event, which spawned the desire for Lane to complete a triathlon on his own. He accomplished that goal when he finished the 2001 Beaver Lake Triathlon, and was hooked from there. The Woodinville couple continued to take
part in events around the state and country and he ran his first Boston Marathon in 2009. “My goal was never to be an IronMan or run marathons,” Lane said. “I just wanted to complete a triathlon by myself.” Dozens of events later he has done that and more, combining his love of training with natural leadership skills to become a triathlon coach through Colorado-based IMJ Coaching a few years ago. Rather than redefining his image, distance and endurance events have merely been an extension of a passion for fitness, the outdoors and a balanced lifestyle. Even more importantly, they have become a way SEE IRON MAN, 12
Three Eastside Catholic School students won medals at the Washington Regional Special Olympics swim meet in Federal Way recently. Megan Mills (Sammamish) captured four gold medals in the pool while Alyssa Helms and Alina Hitchings (Issaquah) both brought home silver and bronze medals. Michelle Jay of Sammamish will be headed to South Korea to represent Team USA in the World Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea at the beginning of 2013. Jay is one of five athletes who will represent Washington after capturing a gold medal in cross country skiing at the Washington State Winter Games. Athletes will continue to train locally as well as attend a World Games training camp in November before departing for PyeongChang with the rest of Team USA next January.
All-league soccer selections made Issaquah junior Evan King was named to the first team as a goalkeeper and was joined by teammate Alex Shane. Skyline’s Pedro Miola and Jason Twaddle and Eastlake’s Madison Heck were also first team selections. The Spartans landed three on the second team, with Evan Botsch, Ryan Shim and Kaleb Strawn getting the nod along with Issaquah’s Akash Ramachandran. Honorable mention selections were: Issaquah– Cooper Fry, Paul Hegedus, David Perez, Drew Tacher; Eastlake– Austin Aumell, Jack Bradley, T.J. Burford, Tim Lundberg; Skyline– Cole Calabro, Austin Dodd.

Sometime shortly after Lane became a solo triathlete and began taking on challenges around the West Coast, he and Tiffani had their second child, Cooper. From the beginning, the boy struggled with gastrointestinal issues, which caused fatigue and forced Cooper to undergo the gambit of tests and evaluations to try and isolate the problem. No firm diagnosis was ever rendered until recently, when the Lanes went to Children’s Hospital and found out Cooper suffers from a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease that is similar to Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis. There is no cure for Crohn’s and only a Colectomy (removal of the colon) can cure Colitis, which combined affect 1.4 million Americans each year, 10 percent of whom are kids just like Cooper Lane. The impact on Cooper’s life has been mitigated by his determination and aided by the work of those at Children’s. While he cannot indulge in ice cream binges like others his age and still struggles with the discomfort of the disease, it hasn’t been able to keep him off the baseball diamond, basketball court or gridiron. “He never makes an excuse,” Lane said. “He’s sometimes not on a level playing field, but he won’t tell you that.” Team Challenge and the CCFA attempt to curb the impact of IBD for Cooper and others through fundraising events focused on endurance training and races, so when Lane reached out before running the Boston Marathon, it was a natural fit.

Monisha said she still finds time for leisure activities. She downhill skis as a part of the Outdoors For All Foundation and plays in a recreational wheel chair tennis league. Humanities teacher Rachelle Horner was selected by Monisha as her most inspiring teacher and will travel with her to the awards ceremony June 16-19 in Washington, D.C. While the student selected the teacher as her most inspirational influence, Horner said it’s really the other way around. “Quite frankly, with all she’s been through, I
think any normal teenager would be very angry or upset, or just very drawn in,” she said. “Instead, she’s been so positive and so humble and so thankful. We see that so rarely as teachers that it really does stand out. She is one of a kind.” Note: Fred S. Lu, of Skyview High School in Vancouver, was Washington’s 2012 male award winner.
