A LINK FOR LIFE

Issaquah, Sammamish Teen Link volunteers help fellow students in need of support BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

ometimes you want to talk to someone who understands — in the case of teenagers, another teenager, because what other peer group could possibly relate better?

There’s no denying the adolescent/teen years are a confusing time of life. Today there are more challenges and stressors on teens than ever before. Stress to succeed, pressure from peers, bullying, sexual identity issues and substance abuse are all stressors which can lead a teen into depression or worse. Teen Link, established in 1996 in Seattle, was born after 16-year-old Audra Letnes died at the hands of her boyfriend who had abused her for over a year. She didn’t tell her mother and was estranged from her friends. She had no resource to turn to. Today, Alaina Blythe, 16, and Andrew Hansen, 17, are outreach volunteers for Teen Link in Issaquah/Sammamish. Blythe is a junior at Skyline High School and Hansen is a senior

SUICIDE WARNING SIGNS According to the Washington State Department of Health, two to three youth ages 1524 commit suicide every week in Washington state. Here are five common warning signs:

• Changes in eating and sleeping patterns • Dropping hints or talking about suicide; making a plan • Giving away prized possessions • Being very obsessive and perfectionistic • Engaging in risky behaviors (driving recklessly, increased drug and alcohol abuse) at Issaquah High School. Both are in the Running Start program where classes count for fulfillment of high school and college credit. Hansen’s classes are all at Bellevue College and Blythe is at Seattle Central. They look like your average teens, but they are anything but. They are dedicated volunteers, reaching out to help teens in need. “There’s no one face for Teen Link,” Blythe said. Teen volunteers are the backbone of Teen Link. Blythe is the chair of the peer advisory board. She and Hansen addressed the Issaquah City Council during the budget hearing Dec. 3, and as a result of their testimony, Teen Link

will receive $3,000 from Issaquah in 2013, a 20 percent increase from this year. Teen Link is under the umbrella of Crisis Clinic, which was established in 1964. Carrie McBride, the development and community relations manager for Crisis Clinic just received news that Teen Link has become the first teen help line to be accredited by Contact USA, the organization which accredits crisis lines across the U.S. and has a network of crisis intervention centers across the nation. Blythe said Teen Link is one of very few organizations in the U.S. specifically for teens. SEE TEEN LINK, 8

The City of Sammamish will honor one of its heroes Dec. 18 when it renames a section of 233rd Ave. N.E. after Stan Chapin, long-time school resource officer at Stan Chapin Eastlake High School and Inglewood Junior High. In an effort to include as much of the community as possible, the city and other organizers have rescheduled the ribbon cutting for Stan Chapin Way for 3:15 p.m., near the new entrance to Eatslake at the intersection of Northeast Eighth Street and 233rd Ave. N.E. Chapin, a member of the Sammamish Police Department, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes Jan. 30, 2012 at the age of 61. His death sent ripples through a stunned community. “Not a lot of teenagers respect authority, but all of us respected him regardless of him being a police officer,” said Marlena Masterleo, who helped organize a memorial ceremony outside Eastlake last year. In addition to a ribbon cutting, the event also will feature brief remarks, an unveiling of the new street sign and some light refreshments. The ceremony will take place just south of the new roundabout on Northeast Eighth Street. “I think naming a street after him is going to be very meaningful to the people who knew him, cared about him and benefited from his work,” City Manager Ben Yazici said. “He is sorely missed.”

Reindeer fun

24th festival underway at Cougar Mountain Zoo BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

There’s really no better season. “We come every year to see the animals and get into the Christmas spirit,” said Debi Johnston of Woodinville, who was at the Cougar Mountain Zoo’s 24th annual Reindeer Festival with her 7-year-old daughter Allyssa, Saturday Dec. 8. Robyn Barfoot, the general curator and manager of the zoo, said its reindeer herd is the largest of any zoo in the country. The zoo is normally closed in December she said, but is open Dec. 1-23, and again Dec. 26-30 to put the spotlight on the reindeer during the Christmas season. Besides the reindeer, which are at the zoo year-round, Santa is the other big attraction. “Do I have reindeer? Didn’t you see them out there?” Santa said to a little boy who wasn’t aware that the 10th reindeer was named Olive - as in “Olive the other reindeer…” The requests from kids were varied. Evan Serafin wanted a dinosaur and a slide. Ally-

ssa Johnston, 7, just wanted Polly Pockets. Christmas music played throughout the zoo, while people mingled about, drinking hot cocoa, and admiring the reindeer. Reindeer are unique among the hoofed animals. They are specifically adapted to live in the harsh environment of the Arctic tundra. They are the only species of deer where both the males and females have antlers. They are also the only species of deer with a fur covered muzzle. And they have one of the longest migratory routes among land mammals – not including their big flight every Dec. 24. In addition to Santa and his reindeer, the festival includes a mailbox to send letters directly to Santa, story telling from an elf, treats to feed Santa’s animal friends, a toy drive, a grand traveling sleigh for photoops and hot drinks and snacks. For more information about the festival, call (425) 392-6278. Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

SHARING

A good move for Senate, state

udos to Eastside Sen. Rodney Tom (D-Medina)for joining with fellow Democrat Tim Sheldon of Potlach to give Republicans control of the state Senate. The move is the best way to insure that there will be a balance of power in Olympia when the Legislature convenes on Jan. 14. Both Tom and Sheldon are conservative Democrats and will have key leadership posts under the joint arrangement with Republican. Tom will be the Senate majority leader and Sheldon president pro-tempore when Lt. Gov. Brad Owen is absent. It didn’t take long for snotty comments to surface, accusing Tom and Sheldon of selling out voters for political power. What claptrap. In reality, the move by Tom and Sheldon is the best hope that all views – Democrat and Republican – will be considered as the Legislature works to craft a budget that is balanced and serves residents’ needs. Remember, Governor-elect Jay Inslee is a Democrat and the Democrats control the House. Voters have made it next to impossible for the Legislature and governor to raise taxes for the next two years by passing I-1185 in November. Even so, Democrat control of the governor’s office, House and Senate would let the party do pretty much whatever it wanted regarding other legislation. We know Washington is a “blue” state, but that doesn’t mean that all voters want only Democrats calling the shots. Seattle Democratic Sen. Ed Murray, who had been prepared to lead the Senate, said the move by Tom and Sheldon “could bring the institution to a halt.” We don’t share his concern, but in any case, it’s better than letting the Democrats railroad through any thing they wish. Sens. Tom and Sheldon have made sure this won’t happen. Other Democrats should see the wisdom of this, too. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

CIP a bold vision for Issaquah BY GENE DUVERNOY AND MATTHEW BOTT

n Issaquah, sustainability is spelled C-I-P The Central Issaquah Plan (CIP) presents a bold vision that shifts away from office parks, strip malls and vast parking lots and directs Issaquah’s future towards walkable neighborhoods with a lively mix of homes, shops and thriving businesses. To be successful in the long term, Issaquah must balance economic development, environmental sustainability and human services, commonly known as the three legs of the sustainability stool. The CIP is a 30-year vision for the redevelopment of Issaquah’s valley

floor that responsibly addresses growth and transportation needs to provide for a vital and vibrant community. With the Issaquah City Council poised to approve this plan at Gene Duvernoy its Dec. 17 meeting, it has the potential to significantly strengthen Issaquah’s economy, sustainability and quality-of-life. A strong and competitive local economy is important to provide the commerce and inbound resources that make a community function and fuel its operations. Having a diversified business community, high-paying

jobs and a prepared workforce supports a vibrant and prosperous economy. Without jobs for residents, resources go elsewhere and the entire community suffers. Matthew Bott So how does a community attract and retain high paying jobs? It’s a complex formula, but much has to do with providing a blueprint and vision for where the community is heading. This provides certainty and clarity about whether businesses want to invest and how

sound unsafe because of that. To be completely truthful with you there are maybe about six students doing heroin, and there is a large percent of people smoking cigarettes, too. But I don’t do drugs, and I don’t drink, but I love it here. We’re here because we learn differently and the big schools in Issaquah don’t accommodate those who are different. Because we’re all different

in our own personal ways, we accept each other and we become a family. Every time I hear people talk about my school in a dubious way, I feel very sad. People shouldn’t be afraid of such a nice place, a place where people can learn the way they were born to learn. Please don’t put the word “heroin” in your next article about Tiger, because that is NOT what we are about.

Here’s my gift list this year: help others instead I want family and friends to skip spending money on dumb trinkets I don’t really need

ast week I was watching TV with my 12–year–old cousin when he asked me a burning question: “What do you want for Christmas?” “Nothing,” I responded. And for the first time in years, I honestly meant it. Being the youngest of three children, I’ve been getting presents from everyone else in my family since I was born – usually with the understanding that, “Oh,

much to invest in business expansion, or whether moving a business operation to the community is a good or bad decision. Businesses constantly evaluate their communities to determine whether their enterprises can be successful. The communities that will win out are those that thoughtfully and responsibly plan for success. It is not only business climate that matters, but also quality-of-life and, in Issaquah, the connection to nature, the outdoors and the environment. Along with creating a vibrant, local economy, the CIP will protect and enhance the spectacular natural environment in and around Issaquah. The

Keegan’s just a kid – she can’t afford to buy gifts.” In recent years, it’s been less about what I expect under my Christmas tree. Rather, it’s been about what I can do for others: giving change to the the Santa standing outside of Safe- Keegan Prosser way, buying a coffee for the person behind me in line – or helping my mom pick out gifts for families in need as part of her school’s “giving tree” program. If you don’t know what a giving tree is,

it goes a little something like this: families who cannot afford to buy presents for Christmas register with a school (or company, or organization), and if accepted, submit a list of things they could use this year. From there, the school (or company, or organization) write the items on pieces of paper and put them on a Christmas tree – with the intention that community members select a piece of paper, purchase said item and bring it back to be gifted anonymously. This Christmas marks my 23rd on this earth. It also marks the first time I’ve been (more or less) financially independent from my parents – a fact that has

made this whole “spending money on useless gifts” thing even more real. So what do I want for Christmas? I want my family and friends to skip spending money on dumb trinkets I don’t really need. Instead, I’m asking them to spend it on a little girl who only dreamed of receiving that One Direction CD. Or a little boy whose never had his own basketball. Or a mom and dad whose only wish is to see their kids smile. Because that’s what the holidays are really about.

Central Issaquah Plan implements the Cascade Agenda, by creating great communities and conserving great lands. By redeveloping the 75 percent of the valley floor that is currently underutilized parking lots and parcels into new neighborhoods containing a mix of local businesses and new homes near transit, we can create new walkable, affordable, urban neighborhoods. This redevelopment in turn will protect Issaquah’s natural environment by linking new growth to acquiring and preserving open space, enhancing access to recreation opportunities and protecting salmon bearing streams such as Issaquah creek. By linking new development to the creation of affordable housing and open space protection, the plan creates a true win-win proposition. A sustainable and successful com-

munity supports its citizens and families to help ensure they are able to lead safe, healthy and productive lives. This includes support for our most vulnerable, access to quality health care and human services, excellent schools and more. A community must provide for and support these needs, from both a moral perspective and as a fiduciary responsibility and good of the whole. It involves things like workforce housing, direct access to quality healthcare, and support for appropriate safety nets to protect and provide for those facing troubled times. The need for, and supply of these services is a function of resources and prioritization, and is deeply connected to other areas of community sustainability. After close to five years of good work by many community members, hard-

working volunteers, elected leaders and city staff, Issaquah is poised to move forward with this important plan. This is the right thing to do for the citizens, businesses and the environment in Issaquah. Sustainability is about optimizing balance among multiple priorities, identifying shared vision and moving forward with bold leadership to reach collective goals. The Central Issaquah Plan is the way to create a sustainable future for Issaquah and the entire community will benefit from its passage and implementation.

Residents debate ways to improve state park BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Lake Sammamish State Park hasn’t had any major improvements since the ‘70s said Peter Herzog, partnerships and planning program manager at Washington State Parks. And, with the state parks budget $42 million in the hole, and Discover Pass (fee to use the parks) revenue coming in at 50 percent of what had been projected, fixing any park in the state is a challenge. Community members filled Tibbetts Creek Manor on Monday night to brainstorm ideas that will support and improve the 512-acre park. The meeting was sponsored by the city of Issaquah’s Economic Vitality Commission. State Parks staff and staff from the city gave presentations and asked for input from those gathered in the hall. Daniel Farber, policy director and tribal liaison for State Parks said the primary income for the parks system is derived from donations, Discover Passes and one-time capital transfers. “The variability of Discover Pass income makes it difficult to predict cash flow,” Farber said. Farber said 100 percent operational self support is not going to happen. Transferring or closing parks isn’t an option either, as it reduces the value of the product (parks) and what he referred to as a “fiscal spiral” would kick in. Faber noted that there are some mix of closures – seasonal or campgrounds – which save money. But closing Lake Sammamish State Park, would only encourage vandalism and destruction, he said. In 2007, the commission adopted a redevelopment and restoration plan for the once-thriving park. Although the plan enjoyed broad public support, State Parks has struggled to find government funding and private investment necessary to make the improvements. Farber said staffing for the park system has been reduced from the equivalent of from 595 employees to 325 and mid-management has been decimated. Keith Niven, director of economic development for the city of Issaquah said the park is under-utilized. The state

John Mullen of the Snoqualmie Tribe delivered powerful testimony at Monday night’s meeting regarding Sammamish State Park. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter and city executed a memorandum of understanding to improve the park, but no plan exists. To bring in some revenue for the park, Niven outlined four sources: State capital and operating support, park enterprise and business partnerships, intergovernmental partnerships and philanthropic support. All of these ideas were explored. For enterprise in the park, residents came up with partnering with local nonprofits; kayak, stand-up paddle or zip-line tours; coffee stands; an outdoor amphitheater; and regattas. Several people talked about and supported the idea of disc golf, a relatively new sport that doesn’t harm the environment. Intergovernmental partnerships would include tribal outreach and education. John Mullen, a lifelong resident of Issaquah and a member of the Snoqualmie Tribe, had criticisms of the process. “I’m hurt because we weren’t mentioned,” Mullen said. “I was born and raised in this town – 57 years – and it was a rough town to be brought up in. We’re insulted and I hope

Volunteering Can Be Easy and Rewarding For many of us, December is a month when our thoughts and concerns for the less fortunate in our communities really come to the forefront. This is no doubt due in part to the holidays we celebrate and due in part to the seasonal weather. Cold, wet and windy days remind us how tough life can sometimes be. For an organization like Food Lifeline, the less fortunate are always at the forefront of their thoughts and efforts. Each year in November and December QFC is proud to support Food Lifeline in the Puget Sound area and the Oregon Food Bank in Oregon with a twomonth campaign to collect both food and cash for these organizations. Our campaign is called Bringing Hope To the Table. The food and money that is accumulated helps sustain these organizations and their clients for months after the holidays are over. QFC is also proud to be a year ‘round partner with these organizations in providing wholesome food through the Grocery Rescue Program. Food that no longer meets our standards for quality and

freshness, but that is still wholesome and healthful is donated and used to feed hungry people through the great work of these organizations. Much of the great work that Food Lifeline does would not be possible without the assistance of a large group of volunteers. Nora Peters, a Grocery Rescue Program Representative at Food Lifeline notes, “All non-profits agree that volunteers who give their skills and time are a precious resource and are really the backbone of our operations. This is even more true at Food Lifeline where every year over 9,000 volunteers help us sort and repack food donations, help with administrative tasks in our office, and with food and fund drives. These volunteers are the equivalent of 20 full-time employees!” Many volunteers return often to help Food Lifeline, but the door is always open for people who want to donate even just a few hours of their time. As the Food Lifeline website notes, “Businesses, schools, social clubs, faith-based groups, service

you guys are proud of yourselves – you didn’t even ask for our help. “We used to get food from the wetlands, we still have artifacts down there, but you don’t care. And this is how you treat the Native Americans. It’s a beautiful piece of property. I know this lake better than most of you. We’re proud people. We help. Not only do we feed our own, we feed other people.” You could have heard a pin drop. Herzog acknowledged Mullen’s testimony and took the lump. “We should have taken the first step to talk to the tribe,” he said. Other ideas floated were to somehow involve the park in Salmon Days and perhaps have a cultural center. A cafe in the park was suggested, as well as brick paths with bricks paid for by donors. Under philanthropic support, it was suggested perhaps a staff member could be devoted to connecting with potential donors, possibly corporate sponsors such as Microsoft and REI. Several sign up sheets were passed around to create a “Friend of the Park” organization. Some residents did not support using the park to create revenue and encouraged the parks and city representatives to leave it be. The next steps the two bodies will take is to explore some of the ideas brought up, check in with the friends group, develop a proposal, come up with a financial strategy, check in with the state environmental policy act and seek various other approvals. Once a final proposal is made, it will go to the sevenmember Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and the Issaquah City Council. Annexation of the park into the city would make it easier for the city to provide funding, and help with ingress/egress issues, but a traffic analysis would have to be done.

organization and youth groups all pitch in to help feed the hungry.” Nora stated, “Volunteering isn’t just good for us and the people we serve – it’s also good for your health! Studies have shown that volunteering improves one’s mental and emotional well-being, expands our social safety nets, staves off depression, and encourages participating youth to avoid risky behaviors. Also, while much of the motivation for volunteering is altruistic, it is also a smart career move. You can bring your unique set of skills to the table and teach fellow volunteers, and you can gain experience,

connections, and hone marketable skills in communication and leadership. What’s more, volunteering can just be plain old fun!” Volunteers age 6 or older are welcome to come as individuals, as a family, or as a group of friends/co-workers/members of a place of worship/sports team, etc. To learn more about Food Lifeline’s volunteer opportunities, please visit their website www.foodlifeline.org/volunteer or send an email to the Volunteer Team at volunteer@ fll.org.

Issaquah shines through sharing Evergreen pre-schoolers help generate gifts for other children in need BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Looking at the vast array of gifts for kids of all ages at Pickering Barn Tuesday, you can’t say Issaquah isn’t a generous community. Everything from new bicycles, Barbies, Transformers, an entire wall of Teddy bears, adorable brand-new baby clothes, warm coats, trendy shoes, nail polish and other beauty items, board games and more were on display. A group of pre-school children from Evergreen Academy brought in over $500 worth of toys that they had picked out themselves. Each child placed their gift very purposefully into boxes for volunteers from the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank to put on display. Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank put on the event, called “Caring Through Sharing.” Program coordinator, Rebecca Raynor, said

971 children were signed up to receive gifts. That amounts to just over 400 families, she said. The merchandise is all brand new, donated from local community members and businesses. Wednesday and Thursday parents from each of the families who signed up, were able to pick out four to five toys for their children, not including stocking stuffers, which were also available in abundance.

Council gives go-ahead to pursue development of new Ace Hardware BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

One week after Sammamish citizens showed strong support of local retailer Ace Hardware, the City Council gave its unanimous approval to pursue development of a new structure on a challenging piece of property. “I didn’t need to hear two and a half hours of testimony last week, I was already there,” said councilwoman Nancy Whitten, during Tuesday’s council meeting. “I think it’s time that we support a hardware store in town.” The council instructed city staff to pursue a development agreement, with all the tools legally available, to present at its next scheduled meeting Jan. 8. There are several concerns around the potential building site on the other side of the stream from the Washington Federal building, between Northeast Second and Northeast Fourth streets. The property, which is owned by developer Elliot Severson, is currently only zoned for limited office retail. In order for the property to be rezoned, several environmental concerns would need to be addressed, including the adjacent George Davis Creek and a nearby wetland. “The environmental issues on site are not small,” said Kamuron Gurol, director of community development. Along with environmental concerns, the development agreement would also involve the city and Severson swapping

property and the cooperation of nearby Mars Hill Church. The biggest challenge is perhaps time as Ace Hardware’s current lease in Sammamish Highlands Shopping Center expires August 2013. Charlie Klinge, attorney for Severson, hopes to gain the city’s approval of a final plan by the beginning of February. “We think that the issues are resolvable and the Ace Hardware can be built at that location,” said Klinge, noting he and his client have already submitted a draft development agreement. Mayor Tom Odell also voiced his strong support of finding a way to develop a new hardware store. “From my standpoint, I view it critically important that we find a way, if at all possible, without corrupting zoning regulations, which were put there for very good reasons,” he said. “Hopefully we can find a way of making this happen.” Ace Hardware owner Tim Koch said he would have to close his business in the Sammamish Highlands Shopping Center if the city can’t find a resolution due to high rent required by Floridabased Regency Centers. He stepped to the podium Tuesday and thanked the council for its effort. “I am 100 percent behind whatever you need to do to make this happen, financially, whatever, I’m behind this,” he said.

‘All in for Kids’ surpasses goal The Issaquah Schools Foundation’s marathon “All in for Kids” annual fund campaign raised $366,805, surpassing its goal of $330,000. The campaign, which began in August, culminated at the district administration building when 300 high school students gathered to call over 9,700 parents on the evenings of Nov. 13 and 15. “It proves how deeply our community is committed to providing our children with the best possible education, said campaign chair Camille Vaska. “Awareness of the tremendous impact private donations have on our public schools grows each year.” “All in for Kids” campaign donations will be used to support foundation pro-

grams including free after-school homework labs and open libraries, the VOICE mentoring program, financial literacy curriculum for eighth graders, special needs and highly capable program funding, national board certification scholarships for teachers, academic enrichment grants to fund innovation and excellence in classroom instruction, and expanded support of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) initiatives at all levels. Contributions to the “All in for Kids” campaign will be accepted through the end of the year. Visit www.isfdn.org to learn more about the foundation and to make an online donation. Donations are also accepted by phone at 425-391-8557.

Press releases are one of the easiest, least expensive and most effective ways to keep the media –and through them, the public—up-to-date on your company and its events. As you can see here, there are some basic rules for writing press releases that work. Newsworthy Press releases read like news – not sales or marketing promotions. If they read like advertising, editors will ignore them. Concise Keep press releases short, just one or two pages, if possible. Don’t say in 300 words what can be said in 200 or 100. Catchy Write an interesting lead that gets to the point, and fast. Everything of critical importance should be in the headline and the first paragraph. If it doesn’t pique the reader’s interest immediately, don’t expect anyone to wade through the rest. Jargon-Free Your press release should be easily understood by anyone reading it. Get ride of unnecessary jargon. Current Include the release date or “For Immediate Release” at the top of page one under the contact information and write “NEWS RELEASE” IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER. Don’t reissue old press releases. Targeted Know your audience. Don’t blindly send your press release to a wide audience. Develop a targeted list of the journalists and publications that cover the subject matter and are likely to be receptive. Orderly Write “more” at the bottom of the first page if there are multiple page. Use END, or -30- at the end of the last page, even for one-page press releases.

Actionable Include a contact name with telephone number and an e-mail address. Responsive When reporters contact you, respond promptly. The reporter who calls you may be working on a story for tomorrow’s paper or writing an article for an online news site that will be posted that day. If you call back too late, you won’t make it into the story. Attachments If sending photos, be sure to include a caption in a separate document. Include sources, contact and a release date. Timely Take deadlines and lead times into account. Newspaper need copy daily, and wire services and Web sites can generate new copy hourly. Pay attention to editorial calendars. Distribution Try to find out a journalist’s preferred method of contact. The Reporter Newspapers prefer you email your press release. Follow up Reporters receive numerous press releases on a daily basis. If you decide to follow up with a phone call, tell them immediately the topic of the release and the exact date you sent it to them. Don’t just ask if they received your press release.

teen link CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

She said the phone volunteers, who go through 70-80 hours of training, have received calls from all over the country and the world. With this new accreditation, Teen Link will be used as a prototype for programs across the U.S. There is always someone to talk to 24/7, although the teen volunteers are only on the phone from 6-10 p.m.; but Crisis Clinic has over 250 volunteers. Blythe said sometimes though, a teen just feels more comfortable speaking to another teen. “Honestly, you can save a life with five minutes of your time,” Hansen said. Teens who don’t want to talk, can “chat” live online three nights a week, too. There is no single reason a teen calls in. Hansen said it’s generally a combination of various stressors. They both said the LBGTQ youth are stressed out, and that nine out of 10 in this group are bullied at school. Phone volunteers have fielded calls regarding struggles in school, fights with parents, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy, and teens having a rough day or who are on the streets and need a place to stay. “We’ve actually had a call where someone was absolutely sure they were pregnant, and they hadn’t had sex,” Blythe said. There are some substance abuse calls, but Hansen said that’s really more of a coping mechanism for teens. Suicide is an issue. “One in 10 will attempt suicide, one in five will seriously consider it,” Blythe said. They both said the reason the public doesn’t hear about suicide is because of the attached stigma. Ten percent of the calls Teen Link fields are suicide related. Blythe said there are two to three youth suicides a week in Washington, with an unusually high number in Issaquah. Youth suicides usually occur in clusters, she said, where one youth will commit suicide and others will follow. “We really consider it taboo to discuss suicide in our culture,” she said. She said there’s usually a verbal cue and it should be taken seriously. In 2011, there were seven suicides in Issaquah, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office annual report. Overall, there were 265 suicides for the year in King County; 11 of those were suicides among persons 19 years and younger. Abusive relationships, like the one Letnes was in, or the power and control cycle are more common now. “We are the recovery line (for anything),” Hansen said. Blythe said she started to volunteer for Teen Link when she was in the eighth grade. She had a friend who was in crisis – he had self-harm issues but is doing fine now. She found help for him through Teen Link. She said most of the volunteers coming into the program have some community service background. Not surprisingly, she is studying the social sciences. Many of the Teen Link volunteers are interested in the field. “It’s such a unique organization,” Blythe said. Hansen started volunteering in March. “I was trying to find a job, and I thought Teen Link would be good,” he said. “I was diagnosed with depression in the ninth grade so I thought this would be cool.” Hansen is not sure where he’ll go with his education, but his interests are psychology and music. If you are in need of help call Teen Link at 1-866-TEENLINK or chat at www.866TEENLINK.org. The24-hour crisis line is at 1-866-4CRISIS. Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

The Blotter

Police reports from Issaquah and Sammamish knife belonged to her husband and that no vehicle prowl had occurred.

BY Kevin endejan kendejan@issaquahreporter.com

GRINCH STRIKES

The following information was compiled from City of Sammamish Police reports:

BAD SANTA A man driving southbound down Issaquah-Pine Lake Road called police Dec. 9 after his vehicle was hit by water balloons containing a mystery liquid that made his window fog up. The impact also caused $300 in damage to the windshield. He said he saw two male juveniles throw the balloons, noting one had dark hair and the other was wearing a Santa hat. Both were seen running towards Sunny Hill Elementary before disappearing onto the property.

PHONE SCAM An 87-year-old Sammamish man contacted police Dec. 3 to report he was a victim of a phone scam. The man said he was contacted by a man claiming to be his grandson. The caller said they had just been in a accident in Haiti and needed money to avoid arrest. The Sammamish man wired two separate transfers totaling $2,425. The man called police when he learned that his grandson was in fact in Oregon at the time.

DIRTY FEET A manager at a Sammamish apartment complex called police Dec. 7 to report strange behavior by a resident, who had recently washed his feet in the sink of the apartment’s lounge area. When police arrived the man was standing outside wearing a vest, shorts and no shoes in 46 degree weather. Police informed the man of the apartment’s concerns. He responded by saying he had the right to be there. Police agreed, but asked him to not wash his feet in the sink. Two days earlier, the same man was reported to have taken walkie talkies from staff and refused to give them back.

FALSE ALARM A Sammamish woman called police Dec. 5 to report a vehicle prowl where the suspect left a knife behind. Police obtained the knife for evidence before receiving a call from the woman, who stated she had just learned that the

A Sammamish man called police Dec. 1 to report someone cut the Christmas lights he just placed in the front yard of his home in the 1300 block of 229th Place Northeast. He had no suspect information and no other lights that he knew of had been damaged.

HEAVY THEFT A Sammamish home owner called police Dec. 8 to report the theft of several large appliances including a refrigerator, stove and vent with an estimated value of $15,000. The man, who is attempting to sell his home and doesn’t live in the home off of Eastlake Sammamish Parkway, said it appeared someone entered the home by using the lockbox. This was the second time since October someone broke into the home and stole appliances.

JEWELRY THEFT A Sammamish man called police Dec. 5 to report the theft of thousands of dollars in jewelry from his home. Thieves entered the home in the 21900 block of Northeast 21st Place by breaking the kitchen window over the sink. Total loss, including damage, was estimated at $6,500.

HOME RANSACKED A real estate agent called police Dec. 4 to report someone broke into a home on East Lake Sammamish Parkway and stole several expensive items. The agent said there had just been a open house two days earlier and he believed the thieves unlocked either the front or back door when they viewed the home. They stole two large flat screen TVs, two bicycles and a throw rug.

PACKAGE THEFT A Sammamish resident called police Dec. 4 to report the theft of a bath set that was delivered to his doorstep. The man, who lives in the 1100 block of 205th Avenue Northeast, said that when he went to grab his mail, he noticed an empty cardboard box nearby. He recognized the label as a package he ordered for his daughter. Total loss was estimated at $10.

With theft one of the more common crimes in Sammamish and the holidays right around the corner, police are warning residents to be cautious of Grinches. “In the past, we have seen wouldbe thieves simply following delivery vehicles around neighborhoods, so it’s also worth reminding people to give us a call if they see suspicious people or vehicles in the neighborhood,” said Administrative Sergeant Sullivan. During the last holiday season just five packages were reported taken from doorsteps in Sammamish. According to Sullivan, five packages have already been reported taken from doorsteps this holiday season. Sullivan advises residents to follow simple rules as recommended by Consumer Reports when having packages delivered to their doorsteps:

•

Choose a shipping option that requires you to sign for delivery.

• Check on the package’s delivery

Gilman Village is open Mon-Sat till 7 pm for the holidays!

•

Leave a note asking the delivery service to leave the package with a neighbor.

•

Have the package shipped to another location where someone can receive it, like your office or a friend’s home.

•

Ask the delivery service to hold your package for customer pick-up.

•

File a theft report immediately if you think your package was stolen, and contact your credit card company to find out if it offers a purchase-protection service that might reimburse you for stolen purchases. Sullivan also warns that car prowls also increase significantly this time of year. “The message there is lock your vehicles, remove any packages from the car or store them in a trunk,” she said. Assistant editor Kevin Endejan can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. ext. 5054.

Have a water efficient H2Oliday! When preparing for meals and parties this holiday season, you can use much more water than your normal, everyday use. Running your tap continuously while preparing food or washing dishes wastes water. You can use more than two gallons of water every minute your tap is running. That’s a lot when you’re cooking a big meal for extended family members and friends! Here are two ways to reduce your water and energy use over the holidays: •

scrape dirty dishes instead of using water to rinse them before you put them in the dishwasher.

•

if you don’t use a dishwasher, fill the sink with a few gallons of soapy wash water, clean your dishes, and put them aside. then rinse them all together afterward.

either of these simple practices could save 10 gallons of water each time you wash dishes. if every american household reduced

their water use by 10 gallons on just one meal this holiday season, we could save more than 1 billion gallons of water, as well as the energy and materials used to pump and treat tap water. For more water saving tips, visit the Cascade Water alliance website at cascadewater.org.

And don’t forget these winter water tips: Winterize your pipes make sure that all outdoor spigots are winterized; this could avoid pipes from freezing, bursting and losing water.

Insulate insulate hot water pipes to reduce the amount of water that must be run in order to get hot water to the faucet.

Locate your master water shut off valve also, remember to locate your master water shut off valve in your house — mark it for quick identification. if a water pipe were to break, it could cause flooding and tremendous water loss.

Like us on Facebook!

Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, hose connections, and faucets even a tiny leak can translate into thousands of gallons of wasted water over a short period of time. repair or replace any equipment leaking water immediately.

Use shut-off nozzles on hoses Use nozzles which completely turn off the water when you are not using it; they also help to more effectively direct water than using your finger to create a stream.

The Eagles made a run to the 4A KingCo title game for the first time in five seasons last year before bowing out in the round of 16 and will return one of the top young guards in the league in sophomore Ty Gibson. “We’ve asked him to step up and take more of a leadership role this year,” Griffith said. “He works extremely hard on both ends of the floor and that’s something you don’t take for granted as a coach.” Gone is last year’s leader in Nick Price (Azusa Pacific), but double-digit scoring averages from juniors Jake Henke and Brian Watson have helped Issaquah to a 3-1 start with wins over Marysville-Pilchuck and league foe Roosevelt. Henke has also been a force on the boards and leads the team with nearly 10 rebounds per game on the young season. Griffith and his players said a more balanced offensive attack will make the Eagles an even more dangerous team this year. “Every team can stop one guy,” Gibson said. “When there’s multiple guys putting the ball in the hoop, it’s a lot harder.”

Issaquah will face district rival Skyline on Friday in the final game of a quad with the girls basketball teams.

Which girls team owns the Plateau? Eastlake will be forced to rebuild after the graduation of eight seniors that helped the program to the state tournament twice in the past four seasons. Dominant post Kendra Morrison led that group and her departure leaves head coach Sara Goldie looking to a new group of contributors among a group that has only four seniors. It has been a pair of juniors in Maggie Douglas and Marijke Vanderschaaf taking control on Haley Smith offense thus far, averaging 10.8 and 11 points per game respectively. Vanderschaaf has also been a valuable commodity on the boards, pulling in more than 14 per game. Skyline ended last season in a crossover round loss to Stanwood, but is off to a 2-0 start this year behind University of Colorado signee Haley Smith and a roster that boasts four players that stand 6’ or taller. Coach Greg Bruns and the Spartans are off to a 3-0 start including conference victories over Ballard (53-43) and Roosevelt (73-46).

Issaquah hopes a pair of returning state qualifiers can lead the way back to the Tacoma Dome this season. DON BORIN, Stop Action Photography

Issaquah, Skyline grapplers compete at at Clash of the Classes The Skyline, Eastlake and Issaquah wrestling programs all took part in the Clash of the Classes tournament, which pitted 2A/3A KingCo members against their 4A foes. Coach Gus Kiss’ Spartans finished atop the 4A competitors with a 3-1 mark including wins over Lake Washington, Liberty and Mercer Island. Tournament champion Mount Si went undefeated and took down Skyline 48-28 in its only loss of the day. Issaquah finished with a mark of 2-2, including wins over Lake Washington and crosstown Liberty. Eastlake ended the day with the same mark and wins over the same two foes.

experienced options in the lower weight classes and Kiss said the competition for those spots has been a high-point of the budding season. “We have good intensity in the room with those kids,” he said. “They have some of that seasoning and experience.” A handful of 2012 regional qualifiers including Joey Gurke give the Spartans depth, though Kiss said filling spots in the highest four weight classes would be an issue throughout the year. Eastlake senior Eric Harper will look to get back to the final four at 182 after a pair of injury defeats sent him to a sixth place finish last season at 170. He won the regional championship in 2012 and is ranked third in the state in his weight class for 4A by Washingtonwrestlingreport.com.

Along with Smith, Bryn deVita and Rachel Shim have been a major force on the offensive end as the three combined to average nearly 40 points per game. The two Sammamish rivals, which are not in the division during this two-year rotation in 4A KingCo, will meet only once, on January 9 at Eastlake.

Can a local prep top podium at Mat Classic? Each of the four Issaquah-Sammamish schools were represented at the state’s final wrestling tournament in 2011-12 and some of the same faces will be back this season looking for a spot atop the podium. Eastside Catholic sophomore Matt Iwicki finished third at 113 pounds last season and was named Wrestler of the Year for the Metro League and regional tournament. He is currently ranked fourth in the state by Washington Wrestling Report. Issaquah returns a pair of state competitors from last season in Matt Solusod (220) and Jonathan Norriss (285), who will both be a threat for 4A KingCo and regional titles this season.

Can Spartans, Wolves or Crusaders break through? Both Skyline and Eastlake were in the 2010 4A state tournament in boys hoops, but neither has been back since. The Spartans will have a new face at the end of the bench in head coach and former Eastlake assistant Maui Borden, who will be without all-conference selections Will Parker and Lucas Shannon. Coach Brian Dailey and the Wolves have experience in the backcourt in Mike Hwang and Brandon Lester and split the conference schedule’s opening week with a win over Inglemoor and loss to Bothell before falling to Roosevelt. Eastside Catholic is entering its 14th season since making the tournament in 3A, and will look to second-year coach Bill Liley to continue building a program that ended its season with a three-point loss to Mercer Island in the Sea-King tournament last year. The Crusaders beat O’Dea 66-51 before falling to Seattle Prep 49-44 to move their mark to 2-2 on the season, all in conference. Josh Suman can be reached at 425-4535045.

When Todd Daugherty found out the Lake Washington School District was moving its ninth graders to area high schools, he had his concerns. A longtime teacher, football coach and a father of two daughters, Daugherty said his initial reaction to the change was tepid both as a parent and teacher. But after watching his youngest daughter thrive in her new environment and coaching the school’s first freshmen football team at the school during the fall, Daugherty is a believer. “Everyone has been really welcoming and I’ve enjoyed working with the older kids,” said Daugherty, who now teaches at Eastlake as well. “It’s been great.” Fall sports saw a 51 percent increase in participation as the total jumped from just more than 300 last year to 490 students in 2012. Winter sports participation has almost doubled and Bangasser said forecasts for spring sports are positive as well and the school will field multiple fastpitch softball teams for the first time in five years. “Now that they are on-site and can see their friends out there, it is easier,” Bangasser said. Ninth graders could participate in the past with

the prep team in sports that were not offered at the junior high level, like golf and cross country. But commuting between the schools only to gain partial status as a member of the Eastlake athletic community was always mostly utilized by only the most dedicated athletes. When the freshmen came on campus this year, the collective mindset and desire to participate shifted drastically. Troy Anderson led the Wolves to the 4A state cross country meet during the fall with the help of a handful of freshman. One of those was Nathan Pixler, who began running cross country as a seventh grader and was excited to be joined by classmates for a banner season. “It was really fun in junior high,” he said. “But I was definitely ready to move on and do some actual training.” His coach said in past years, the program would

average 10 freshmen for the cross country season. This year he had around 25. “It’s an awesome opportunity for the freshmen making that jump,” Anderson said. Bangasser echoed that sentiment and said one of the benefits for the kids is opening their eyes to the dedication required on a prep team. Scheduling conflicts have been one of the few hiccups in the process thus far, but that has done little to dampen the excitement. Brad Stolz is the athletic director for the Lake Washington School District and the principal at Benjamin Rush Elementary. He said the response has been positive throughout the district from students, coaches and parents. “We’ve learned some things along the way,” Stolz said. “Generally, it’s been very positive.”

Eastlake’s Edward Kim eyes more state titles in the 4A classification. File photo,

The field posed little resistance to the Eastlake and club swimming sensation last season, as Edward Kim took two more state championships in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, each with an Automatic AllAmerican time, after taking 4A titles in the 100 free and 50 free as a freshman in 2011. After swimming at national qualifying for the London Olympics before the 2012 Games, Kim will likely continue to shave time and rewrite records in the pool during the prep season.

Joy to the World!: Bellevue Chamber Chorus celebrates the season with “Carols and Lullabies Christmas in the Southwest” by Conrad Susa (with harp, guitar, and marimba). Sunday, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m. St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 8398 NE 12th St., Medina.

5th Avenue Theater offers unique holiday play “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” For those growing up (or rather, just living) in the aughts, Buddy the Elf is a familiar character. Made famous by funny man Will Ferrell on the big screen, the story of Buddy’s journey through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and through the Lincoln Tunnel to New York City has fast become a holiday tradition for people of all ages. This month, the silly elf/man–child has made his way to the 5th Avenue Keegan Prosser Theatre, spreading Christmas cheer one song at a time as part of “Elf – The Musical.” Adapted for the stage by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin, and featuring music and lyrics by up–and– comers Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, the musical stays true to the original plot – but a carbon copy of the movie it is not. Infused with jazzy show tunes, dancing and a few sparkly tricks – it’s a story all its own. Avoiding the trap of too much cheese, this show packs laughs for kids and adults alike (much of which comes from St. Nick himself – played with spunk by Sean G. Griffin). Matt Owen’s Buddy is all you’d expect him to be – relatable, lovable and hilariously naive. And while I was a bit concerned about how they would portray Owen as standing feet above the elves, the solution – having the rest of the cast acting on their knees – was hilarious (to say the least). He might not be Ferrell, but he’s perfect in his own right. And he can dance. And sing. And he’s full of “Sparklejollytwinklejingley” joy – which pretty much means he fantastic (in elf–speak). I’ll admit there were some things I missed – Bob Newhart’s Papa Elf, Buddy’s tangent about the “angry elf ”

Buddy (Matt Owen) performs with a group of disgruntled Santas during “Nobody Cares About Santa.” COURTESY OF TRACY MARTIN

and Jovie’s rendition of “Baby it’s Cold Outside” were the only major plot points missing from the stage production. But the creative team hit gold with a handful of new musical numbers – the most notable being a ragtime–y number called “Nobody Cares About Santa.” Set against a gimmick–y Chinese restaurant in the city and featuring a slew of grumpy fake Santas dancing a–la the Rockettes, is something not to be missed. There is much to be said about the fact that the 5th Avenue was the only theatre in the country licensed the rights to do this play as it is currently running on Broadway. But mainly, it’s because they’re just really great at what they do. If you’re looking for the perfect way to get into the spirit this holiday season, a ticket to “Elf ” is the gift that keeps on giving. “Elf – The Musical” runs through Dec. 31 at 5th Avenue Theatre.

Goodman named chair of House Public Safety Committee to stop crime and save taxpayer dollars. So it’s important to keep trying different options and testing them rigorously, because in the end, we should do what works, not just what sounds good.” When he first arrived in the House of Representatives and got assigned to the Public Safety Committee, Goodman asked policy staff and police officers what two issues consumed most of their time and resources. They said drunk driving and domestic violence. Since then he’s worked with police, prosecutors, crime victim advocates and other lawmakers on ways to prevent domestic violence and drunk driving, and he’s won national awards for his work in this area. “Criminals should be punished, but if that’s all you focus on, you’re missing the point,” Goodman said. “The best way to tackle crime is to prevent it from happening at all. Police officers and prosecutors like solving a case – but they like it better when they can prevent a bad situation, actually stop crime before it happens, so there’s no crime victim who got hurt or killed.” Goodman said he appreciates hearing the stories and ideas of citizens, local police officers, sheriff deputies, prosecutors and crime victims. “The biggest part of this job is listening,” Goodman said. “Republican or Democrat, prosecutor or defense lawyer, big city detective or small-town sheriff – everybody has stories to tell and ideas on how to prevent crime and respond to emergencies. I look forward to hearing from you, and working with you, to make Washington state an even safer place for our families and our communities.”

Two Democratic state senators, including Sen. Rodney Tom of Medina, announced Monday they will join an unprecedented Republican-led Senate coalition that aims to split power between the two parties. The Majority Coalition Caucus proposes to have six Democrat-led committees, six committees led by Republicans and three panels that are evenly split between the two parties. Those committees will have no more than a one-vote majority. Tom, who will serve as the coalition’s majority leader, said during a news conference in Olympia that “the public is hungry for us to come together, to work together in a collaborative manner and that’s exactly what this coalition is trying to accomplish. We want a cooperative relationship and making sure that we work across party lines.” Sen. Tim Sheldon, of Potlach, who is also a conservative Democrat, will serve as the body’s president pro tempore. The coalition currently has 25 Senate members and Tom hopes other Democrats will join. Democrats control the House and incoming governor Jay Inslee is a Democrat. The Senate coalition’s governing principles include promoting job growth in a vibrant economy, ensuring a world class education system and building a sustainable budget. Tom noted those are values and needs of the state’s middle class. Republican senators also lauded the effort as an equitable approach that would evenly divide the governing structure across party lines. But the proposal is drawing opposition

ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

from some Democratic Party leaders, who say the coalition is risky and would bring instability and more gridlock to Olympia. Washington State Democratic Party Chair Dwight Pelz said in a news release that Sens. Tom and Sheldon stood for reelection as Democrats in 2010. “But today, (they) turned their backs on the Democratic Party by siding with a radically right Republican caucus that earlier this year attempted to slash critically important funding for education and social services for the elderly and the vulnerable,” said Pelz, who added the proposal is a “prescription for instability and division.” He also claims that Tom “instigated this unprecedented coup and joined with Republicans to install himself as majority leader out of a desire to further his own personal ambitions, not out of what is in the best interests of his constituents or the public at large.” However, Tom told the Reporter that the coalition is about governing, not politics. “The election season is over and citizens want us to govern and get away from political bickering and move forward on the issues,” said Tom, noting that he is not joining the coalition for his own personal interests. “I think we have a great opportunity and this is unique in that we’re actually listening to voters who want us to govern and get away from politics and to help solve the problems that are the mainstay of middle class families in the state and that’s what we intend to do.” Carrie Rodriguez is editor of the Kirkland Reporter.

Controversial GOP-led Senate coalition aims to split power between parties

Rep. Roger Goodman, who represents Sammamish in the state’s 45th Legislative District, has been picked to chair the House Public Safety Committee. “In a heartbeat, a violent crime or a natural disaster can take away everything – your home, your family, your life,” Goodman said. “Our state laws must do whatever is possible to prevent crime and respond to floods, wildfires and earthquakes, because lives are literally at stake.” Goodman, an atRoger Goodman torney and criminal justice expert, has served as vice chair of the House Judiciary Committee for the last six years, which handles non-criminal issues involving the law and courts. “It’s important to protect citizens from crime while safeguarding individual liberties,” Goodman said. “What’s great about Washington state is that police, prosecutors, citizens and prison officials have all worked together to do things that don’t just sound tough, but actually work.” Washington’s criminal justice laws and programs are often picked for review by the state’s Institute for Public Policy, which looks at whether new laws and programs actually reduce crime and whether reforms are cost-effective. “We’ve learned that some things that sound great on TV or in the newspaper actually cost a lot of money and don’t prevent crime at all,” Goodman said. “And we’ve found that things that don’t get the big headlines actually work well
