GOING GREEN

Issaquah’s GreenLink Collective - a professional face for medical cannabis

iagnosed with stage four melanoma at the age of 52, Kathy Sparks of Issaquah, now 59, is in full remission after being told in 2009 that she had one year to live. After high-dose interferon treatments, that didn’t work, she was fortunate to be chosen for a clinical study where she received treatment with ipilimumab, now an FDA approved drug.

To her amazement, her tumors responded and shrank.

But side effects with powerful cancer drugs can be totally debilitating. Sparks was experiencing anxiety, pain and nausea.

“I needed a source that was organic, because I was eating organically, and I do trust the source of GreenLink,” she said.

GreenLink Collective in Issaquah is an access point to a collective garden that grows medical cannabis.

Jake George, one of the owners of GreenLink Collective, is a self-professed goodytwo-shoes. He never dabbled in recreational drugs, and graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a degree in economics. His business partner and wife, Lydia George, earned her political science degree from Western Washington University and the couple’s other business partner, Brian Infinger, has his degree in biology from Washington State University.

But health problems changed the direction of George’s career.

George was having severe problems with his esophagus. He said “stuff kept pooling up in my throat.”

His doctor told him he had a deteriorating esophagus, that of a much older man, which could have limited George to a liquid diet. After trying everything else, he got his medical cannabis license, and it solved his problem. Then, his brother-in-law was in a bad automobile accident, and in a great deal of pain.

George helped him out by getting him authorized, but they went to a clinic that was down-right “scary.”

On the way home he remarked to Lydia, that there had to be a better and

safer way to obtain medical cannabis. So they went to work to not only open their own access point to a collective garden, but also to help Issaquah draft and adopt its own ordinance with regard to cannabis.

“We’re all from traditional industries,” Jake George said. “But once I had my authorization I wanted to open something more professional.”

After studying the look of nice MD’s offices they set up a shop that fit within the spirit of the law. Their approach was to keep it strictly medical. They opened in January 2011 with a state license for a social services non-profit, but the city didn’t see it that way.

Since there was no local precedent for a business such as GreenLink, even though such businesses had been allowed to operate under Washington State law since 1998, the SEE GREENLINK, 3

After 16 years of combining thrilling hydroplane racing on the water and a family friendly festival on the land, the organizers of Issaquah’s Tastin’ n Racin’ have decided to not present the event in 2013.

The popular festival was slated to run June 8-9 at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Citing raising expenses and unreasonable insurance requirements, organizers made the decision to end the event effective immediately.

“The insurance company had unreasonable and not industry standard requirements that we could not comply with, and you cannot have a huge festival without proper insurance,” said executive director Christine Courtright. “We will see what happens for 2014, but the company has to change their requirements.”

Over the years, Tastin’ n Racin’ featured the fastest piston driven racing on water from four-cylinder 16-foot hydroplanes to the 1,300 horsepower supercharged 26foot Grand Prix Hydroplanes.

Classic car shows, boat shows, motorcycle charity rides, carnival rides and the Wenatchee Youth Circus were all attractions that have appeared at Tastin’ n Racin.’

“People in this business are constantly defending themselves.”

- Jake George

Products such as tea, and edibles containing cannabis are available at GreenLink Collective for medical cannabis users.

LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

GREENLINK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

city decided GreenLink was a pharmacy, which was not allowed due to the zoning at its location.

For about a year, GreenLink wasn’t open in Issaquah, but during that time, the George’s put hours and hours into working on Issaquah’s own cannabis ordinance, No. 2633, while maintaining an access point to its collective garden in Seattle’s Sodo area.

In May 2012, they were issued a collective garden safety license for Issaquah.

Just the month before, in April of 2012, SB5073 was passed in the state Senate and House, but was partially vetoed by Gov. Chris Gregoire. The bill allowed qualifying patients to have “access to an adequate, safe, consistent and secure source of medical quality cannabis.” Gregoire vetoed the bill because of conflict with federal law, which still classifies cannabis as an illegal Schedule I drug, a banned substance with no medical value.

However, after SB5073, collective gardens could still exist. A collective garden allows for the growing,

production, processing, and/or delivery of cannabis for medical use by up to 10 collective members and can have no more than 45 plants and 24 ounces of usable cannabis per patient, up to a maximum of 72 ounces of usable cannabis on site.

George said he worked really hard on the Issaquah ordinance. He said he didn’t want to buck the system, rather work with it. The Georges’ brought their attorney to countless meetings, with public hearings consisting of citizens mostly in support of the ordinance. Now, George says, Issaquah has one of the most progressive cannabis ordinances in the state.

“I have lots of friends in law enforcement, so it makes for an interesting conversation,” he said.

GreenLink does look and feel professional. A pleasant waiting area with a fish tank and courteous receptionist welcomes you rather than a bouncer with tattoos.

There is monitored security at all times. GreenLink is required to have 120 days of active video surveillance

which can be viewed by Chief of Issaquah Police, Paul Ayers, at any time.

The passage of Initiative 502 in November, allowing citizens to have one ounce of cannabis for their own personal use runs “parallel” to the medical cannabis world, George said.

“There is no way we can provide for recreational use,” George said. “I sympathize with the state, because they’re in a situation similar to the medical model just a few years ago.”

George said he doesn’t have a problem with I-502, but believes cannabis should stay away from schools. There is so much grey area with I-502 – nobody is legally allowed to produce it, but you can still have your personal ounce.

The collective garden model works for GreenLink, but outside of the medical world, one person cannot be a producer (grower), processor and retailer. In state stores, the cannabis will have to be packaged and sealed, much like liquor, so buyers won’t be able to smell it beforehand.

On Dec. 6, when I-502 went into law, GreenLink had about 60 phone calls that day. Most of the callers were not medical users, so he couldn’t help them.

George said the state Liquor Control Board, which will monitor sales, has yet to get their feet under I-502.

He is concerned that with pre-packaging, strains will be compromised. In GreenLink’s garden, they are able to grow a specific strain to meet a patient’s individual needs.

“Strain diversity could go by the wayside,” he said.

Then there’s the price. A gram of medical cannabis sells for $10-$12 typically.

“So, the focus will have to be on high producers

Page 3

(growers) who can produce it for about $1.50 a gram, sell it to the processor for $3 a gram, then the retailer can make a 50 percent profit by selling it for $12.

Too much more than $17 a gram could create a boom in the black market,” George said.

In the non-medical world, the processor will be the entity which tests the product that comes from the producer, make edibles or other convenient forms of cannabis and make sure the packaging is sealed

properly.

George said GreenLink stayed neutral on I-502 because of the DUI provision and how it could affect patients.

“People in the business are constantly defending themselves,” he said.

“To me new patients are what’s important. It’s scary for someone who hasn’t smoked cannabis for 25 years.”

EDITOR’S NOTE

We want you to become part of the discussion

S

ome time back, my wife gave me a coffee mug that said “Bark Less, Wag More.” The meaning? Stop being such a grouch. Good advice for someone writing editorials.

While an editorial is suppose to take a pointed view – it is, after all, an opinion – too often the space we use isn’t enough to give a topic justice.

That’s why letters to the editor are so important. The letters space is an open forum for discussing the issues of the day.

Unfortunately, we don’t get as many Craig Groshart letters as we would like. Perhaps people are too busy to write or they think that what they say doesn’t matter. Maybe they just give up and write a check to a political action committee and let it take on the battle.

That’s a shame.

Individual voices still count. Letter writers help shape arguments. Though they are the thoughts of one writer, they likely represent the thinking of others in the community.

The space for editorials in The Reporter averages about 325 words. We set a word limit on letters to the editor at 200 words for the print edition. I’m sure some letter writers chafe at that limit, feeling they can’t make a compelling counter argument in such limited space.

They’re probably right. So, beginning in 2013, we’re bumping up the word count for letters to 250 words.

And we won’t necessarily get picky if it goes a bit over.

So, give us your thoughts. And, in addition to your name, give us your city of residence and a phone number (you phone number won’t be published) in case we need clarification on something you wrote.

Information at the bottom of this page gives you several ways of getting letters to us. You also can go to our website where you can find a form (click on Contact Us at the top right of the home page).

Issues are important. We want to hear from you.

Here’s to a healthy, happy new year

I

t will be two years ago this month that I heard the words “you have cancer.” It was quite a shock to say the least. I was very frightened, confused and unsure of what to do next. How could a healthy person like me have cancer?

After a labyrinth of tests, chemotherapy, radiation, and a total of nine surgeries, I’m still here, and cancer free.

I’m so thrilled to be starting a new year knowing I’m going to be OK. No matter how good you feel though, it’s important to stay in tune with and know your body.

Take the time to exercise and eat well.

I was never a junk food person, so that made my diagnosis all the more confounding. But I truly believe cancer is a Linda Ball result of exposure to something in the environment (pesticides certainly), and consumption of empty-calorie foods.

I learned if there are more than five listed ingredients on a product, to be wary. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.

LETTERS SAFER GUNS NOT THE SOLUTION TO SHOOTINGS I appreciate the brief opinion offered in “Guns, Again – First Step: stop the killing power,” but I do not think having safer guns (e.g., magazines with fewer bullets) is a solution and it is not a certain root cause, especially when you consider the

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK Stay away from processed foods, farmed fish, and try to eat organic produce. Limit intake of sugar, red meat and heavy starches, not only for cancer prevention, but for the sake of your weight, too.

Don’t be afraid of the doctor or dentist. I know you fellas don’t like going to the doctor, but if you’re a man of a certain age, man up and get that prostate checked.

Women, mammograms save lives – I’m living proof.

Improper dental care leads to periodontal disease which can lead to heart problems. Brushing twice a day and flossing once a day can greatly improve your chances of avoiding gum disease.

According to the Center for Disease Control, “People who are active live longer and feel better. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can delay or prevent diabetes, some cancers and heart problems.”

chain of events leading up to “pulling the trigger.”

To share in the abundance of progun analogies floating around in social media, policy requiring safer guns is tantamount to saying we should establish policy requiring duller knives. If you truly evaluate the chain of events leading up to the Newtown, Conn., shootings, I’m sure you will find far more valuable information about causes/contributing factors to the murders than merely access to a

gun, even if it has been a safer gun.

Each step closer to removing access to rights – including gun rights – is more energy removed from finding the root(s) of the problem. Leave access to gun rights up to the states.

The long-term health damage caused by marijuana use (e.g., lung cancer, addiction, social consequences, etc.), enhanced by its legalization on Dec. 6, will kill many more people than the users of safer guns ever will.

Time to fix state’s transportation

BY DICK PAYLOR

Without major investment in transportation infrastructure in Washington, the people of this state risk losing a lot.

If you slow to a crawl on I-5 over the next few days, study the concrete and look for the significant cracks.

You won’t have to look very hard.

Dick Paylor A safe, reliable, and efficient transportation system is a crucial foundation for a vibrant economy and a competitive business climate.

Each year, the East King County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition brings together 10 chambers of commerce representing the Eastside business community. The Coalition represents wineries in Woodinville, restaurants in Issaquah, a global business icon in Redmond, Microsoft, and a variety of companies and nonprofits in between.

The coalition believes the Legislature must develop and pass a comprehensive transportation funding package that maintains and preserves our existing system and completes funding of critical systemwide improvements.

Declining road surface quality increases safety hazards, vehicle damage, congestion, and commute times.

Bridge weight restrictions and safety concerns impede critical commerce. Restoring those assets now, rather than

The CDC recommends 30 minutes, five days a week of moderate physical activity.

You don’t have to go to the extreme. Even during my darkest depths of chemo, I got on my elliptical for a least five minutes. That may not sound like much, but I felt better for it.

My father was a very sedentary man, one of the greatest generation who, God love him, provided for his family, but put his own health at great risk mainly by

enduring further delay, will save billions of dollars over time.

At the same time, major projects critically important for the safe and efficient movement of people and products around Washington are billions short of necessary funding. The strength of the economy on the Eastside depends on immediate completion of the SR-520 bridge replacement, I-405 Master Plan projects, as well as I-90 upgrades over Snoqualmie Pass.

Of course, other communities and regions in Washington must receive the same transportation investment dollars as the Eastside.

Presently, transportation funding is inadequate to meet statewide needs.

The 2003 and 2005 transportation revenue packages focused on relieving congestion, but did little to address systemwide preservation, maintenance, and operation.

Washington must overcome these challenges and identify fair and viable funding strategies that will not negatively impact job creation and commerce, at the same time increasing accountability for results among all elements of Washington’s transportation system.

The Legislature must enact a transportation funding package directly and get Washington moving efficiently. The businesses and employees of east King County are depending on it.

So is the rest of Washington.

Dick Paylor is Chair, East King County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition overeating which developed into Type II diabetes. When he died in 2006, he couldn’t even move on his own due to total muscle atrophy. Don’t let this happen to you.

The bottom line here is moderation. Enjoy dessert on occasion, drink a glass of wine. But also take care of yourself. Sleep, eat healthy and get some exercise.

It may not ward off every disease, but preventative action could prolong your life and keep you more comfortable into old age.

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.

Press Release Basics:

COMPANY LOGO NEWS RELEASE Your Name Business Name Phone Number E-Mail Address Web Address FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TODAY’S DATE (or if embargoed, indicate requested date of release)

Headline here of what the topic is.

First Paragraph is the interesting lead that gets to the points, Everything of critical importance should be in the headline and in the first paragraph.

Police reports from Issaquah and Sammamish

BY Kevin endejan

SCAM ARTIST

kendejan@issaquahreporter.com

A Sammamish woman called police Dec. 20 after discovering a man she met online and had been dating since May was involved in identity theft and check fraud.

The woman discovered the man opened a credit card account in her name after finding it in his bag. The man also attempted to fraudulently pass off a $21 check for $21,000 by washing it and adding zeroes.

The woman said the man made several outlandish claims about his personal life, including being a former sniper for the Army, working for the Pentagon and being in the running for head of the Seattle FBI office.

When police investigated the man, they discovered he had a long arrest history and had been convicted of fraud and identity theft in Tennessee.

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

DRUGS & PITBULLS

Katie Heady of Sammamish holds Demsie, who was the first baby born at Overlake Hospital in 2013. contributed

First local babies of 2013 born A baby girl from Sammamish, Demsie Lynn Heady, was the first baby born at Overlake Hospital in 2013. She is the daughter of Katherine (Katie) and Austin Heady.

Demsie was born at 1:54 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 1 and weighed 8 lbs, 10 oz. She has a big sister, Emerson, 5.

Demsie was born via a scheduled induction set for Tuesday morning and shares a birthday with her grandmother, another New Year’s baby.

“It’s really cool she gets to share her birthday with her grandma,” Katherine Heady said.

Heady said their family and staff rang in the new year wearing party hats and using noise makers. As the first baby born at Overlake this year, Demsie and family were the recipients of a special New Years Baby basket, which included items such as a new breast pump, blankets, baby wipes and clothes.

“Everyone that helped us out was awesome,” Heady said.

Swedish/Issaquah welcomed its first baby of the new year on Jan. 1 at 3:33 a.m. The baby boy, named Adrien, weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and measured 20.5 inches long.

He was born to first-time parents and Issaquah residents Luz Maria and Enrique Mazariegos. The delivering physician was Maria Holmes, M.D., with Issaquah Women’s Clinic.

In celebration of the special occasion, The Shops at Swedish and the Swedish/Issaquah Starbuck’s each donated a newborn gift basket to the Mazariegos family.

Friday, January 4, 2013

Sammamish police responded to a call of a man overdosing on heroin Dec. 21, but were unable to enter the home in the 2500 block of Southeast 17th Street due to an aggressive pitbull standing on a bed near the man. The dog eventually lunged onto the porch, forcing officers to deploy taser darts into its back to protect a nearby firefighter. The dog retreated, and a 18-year-old female who made the emergency call was able to move the dog into a closet.

EMTs were able to fully revive the unresponsive 20-year-old man and bring him to the hospital for further treatment.

HIT & RUN A Sammamish man called police the early morning of Dec. 21 after he heard a loud crash and witnessed a car drive off after hitting his son’s vehicle parked legally alongside the roadway in the Sahalee neighborhood.

The four-door sedan reportedly collided with the right front side of the parked car, then backed away and drove off. The man called neighborhood security, which locked down the nearest gate for a short time. No suspects were identified.

TOO YOUNG A 17-year-old Issaquah boy was arrested for DUI shortly after midnight Dec. 21 after police responded to an accident on Eastlake Sammamish Parkway.

While police were interviewing the boy, who had collided with another 17-year-old, they identified the smell of intoxicants on his breath.

a wine store and tasting room

MISSING JEWELS A Sammamish woman called police Dec. 20 after discovering several valuable items missing from her jewelry box.

The woman said some items were left in the box, but several sets of earrings were missing, including a pair valued at $1,500.

The woman was suspicious of maids who worked for a cleaning service she used.

PLATE FOUND A Sammamish couple discovered the license plate on the rear of their SUV was stolen after police showed up at their home Dec. 20 regarding a vehicle stop in Burien.

The couple had no idea the rear plate on their vehicle was missing and denied knowing anyone in Burien.

BROKEN WINDOW A Sammamish business owner in the 200 block of 225th Avenue Northeast called police Dec. 13 to report a large rock thrown through one layer of her double pane window

sometime overnight.

The woman reported finding a stone about the same size as a hacky sack underneath the window.

‘STUPID MOVE’ A 21-year-old Sammamish man was arrested Dec. 10 after attempting to allude police and blowing over the legal limit for blood alcohol.

Police clocked the man going 64 mph in a 45 mph zone south on Sahalee Way and immediately turned around to stop him. The driver disappeared into a neighborhood before police eventually found him parked in his vehicle alongside the road.

The man admitted to continuing to drive when the officer activated his lights, saying it was a “stupid move.”

The driver blew a .100, admitting to having four beers before he drove home.

LIQUOR THEFT A 29-year-old Des Moines man is suspected of stealing $329 worth of liquor from the Sammamish Safeway on Dec. 11.

Store workers reported that the same man had been coming in and stealing liquor for several weeks.

The man was caught on video where police were able to obtain his license plate number and track him down.

BULLETS FOUND A home owner on Beaver Lake Drive called police Dec. 14 to report finding a box of 12-gauge shotgun rounds, with six live rounds on their property. The family, which has lived in the home for two years, don’t own any guns and believe they probably belonged to the previous homeowners.

TIRES DEFLATED A Sammamish man called police Dec. 14 to report the tires on two of his vehicles had been deflated overnight.

The man, who lives in the 2400 block of Northeast Sixth Place, said his daughter was driving one of the vehicles to school.

Two tires were flattened on one vehicle and all four on another. Damage was estimated at $650.

Forbes Magazine has ranked Sammamish as America’s Friendliest Town for 2012.

In its reasoning, the magazine says: “Nearly 90 percent of the residents of this Seattle suburb own their own homes. Crime is low as is unemployment. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and overlooking a lake, Sammamish offers outdoor activities like skiing, water sports, hiking and biking. Community-organized events include

One year of 520 tolls in books

Karishma and Aishwarya Mandyam from Sammamish will perform at the Governor’s Ball Jan. 16. CONTRIBUTED

Sammamish twins perform at Governor’s Ball Twin sisters from Sammamish are scheduled to perform an ancient Indian classical dance during the Washington State Governor’s Inaugural Ball on Jan. 16 in Olympia.

Karishma Mandyam, a sophomore at Skyline, and her twin sister, Aishwarya, will perform the Bharatanatyam dance in the Rotunda during the celebration.

The dance is set to Carnatic music, the traditional music of South India. Most Bharatanatyam items depict bhakti or devotion as the main theme. The five major styles of Indian classical dance signify the five elements of nature.

Bharatanatyam is considered to be a fire-dance — the mystic manifestation of the metaphysical element of fire in the human body. The movements of a Bharatanatyam dancer resemble the movements of a dancing flame.

The state marked its first year of all-electronic tolling on the State Route 520 floating bridge Saturday, Dec. 29, with both revenues and traffic meeting projections. The tolling is designed to provide more than $1 billion to help pay for the construction of a new bridge.

“Thanks to early tolling, we are already collecting revenue to fund the ongoing construction of a replacement bridge,” said Craig Stone, assistant secretary for the Washington State Department of Transportation, Toll Division. “Moreover,” he added, “variable tolling is giving drivers a more reliable trip across the bridge. We are right on target.”

Before tolling began, forecasts anticipated there would be an initial 48 percent drop in traffic volume on SR 520.

That projection matched actual traffic at the start of tolling, but as expected, volume has steadily returned. SR 520 bridge traffic is now about 70 percent of pre-toll levels.

Revenue is also on track. Since Dec. 29, 2011, SR 520 tolls have generated approximately $50 million in gross revenue.

Tolling is exceeding other expectations as well. Currently, 84 percent of all trips across the SR 520 bridge are paid with a Good To Go! account, about 12 percent higher than the original forecast of 72 percent. Through the end November, there have been more than 18 million tolled trips on SR 520.

“More SR 520 drivers are paying with Good To Go! and as a result, we’re mailing fewer toll bills,” Stone said.

“A Good To Go! account is the best way to pay tolls – and even if you’ve received a toll bill, you can still set up an account to pay a lower toll rate.”

Stone also noted that SR 520 variable tolling is a successful traffic management tool as some drivers are adjusting their trip times to off-peak hours to take advantage of lower toll rates. Others took advantage of increased transit service and now take the bus instead of driving. The shifting and rebalancing of traffic saves SR 520 drivers about five minutes during peak period trips.

“We’re headed in the right direction,” Stone said, “but remember this is just the first year of a 30-year plan.”

King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit continue to see strong ridership growth on SR 520 across Lake Washington. Estimated daily ridership through September 2012 was nearly 19,000 – up a total of 25 percent since 2010, including a 9 percent increase since 2011.

“We’re carrying thousands of additional riders since tolling began, and surveys show more than one-third of them choose transit to save money on their commute,” said Kevin Desmond, Metro Transit General Manager.

State officials are pleased with results of tolling the 520 bridge after a full year. FILE PHOTO, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter Before the start of tolling, King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit added 140 daily bus trips across the SR 520 floating bridge, bringing the weekday service to nearly 750 bus trips on 19 routes today. Also, 179 vanpools now cross the lake on the SR 520 corridor, an increase of 50 vanpools – or 39 percent – since tolling started.

“Commuters are taking advantage of more choices to cross Lake Washington to ease the stress of their commute,” said Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl. “We’ve seen double-digit growth on our buses crossing SR 520 this year.”

About tolling on the SR 520 floating bridge: Tolling on SR 520 is expected to raise $1 billion overall toward the $4.13 billion SR 520 bridge replacement and HOV program, which builds 12.8 miles of safety and mobility improvements from I-5 in Seattle to SR 202 in Redmond.

The existing SR 520 floating bridge opened to traffic in 1963, and is vulnerable to sinking during a severe storm after weathering decades of wind and waves. The new bridge will better withstand storms and move more people across the lake with a new transit/HOV lane for buses and carpools in each direction. The floating bridge contract requires the new, six-lane SR 520 floating bridge to open to traffic by July 2015, but includes incentives for an earlier opening in December 2014.

Coal Creek YMCA offers healthy New Year’s resolutions The new year is a time for new beginnings and to set goals that strengthen one’s spirit, mind and body. When making New Year’s Resolutions, the Coal Creek Family YMCA reminds families that building and maintaining family connectedness is one of the most important resolutions.

“At the Y, we are committed to strengthening individuals and families to build stronger communities,” said Jaime Greene, Healthy Living & Community Engagement Director, Coal Creek Family YMCA. “When making New Year’s resolutions, we encourage people to begin with small changes that are easy to sustain and that lead to big benefits over time. Also, set goals as a family to learn and thrive together.”

The Coal Creek Family YMCA offers a variety of programs that support family time, such as the Adventure Zone, Kids Corner, Youth Development Center, Parent’s Night Outs, Movie Nights, Adventure Guides, Birthday Parties, Mommy & Me Tumbling and Bingo. There are also simple things families can do at home to improve their family’s health and well-being. Following are five New Year’s Resolutions the

Y recommends for 2013: Eat Together: Sitting down together for a meal is a great way for parents and children to share stories, or talk about the school day or their favorite part of the day. Set aside time for the family to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner at least once a week or every day if scheduling permits.

Volunteer Together: Giving back and supporting neighbors benefits everyone involved. It teaches children and teens the value of helping others and is also a way to meet new people or discover a new interest. Find an opportunity in your community that the entire family may enjoy, such as cleaning your neighborhood park or distributing food at a local food bank.

Unplug from Technology: Limit screen time (television, video games, computer, etc.) and instead set aside an hour or two for activities that allow interaction and camaraderie. If weather permits, go for a walk, bike ride, trip to the park, or have a game night at home. If you do want to watch television, maybe have a movie night with the family.

Be Physically Active: It’s important

for children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day (30 minutes for adults). Incorporate physical activity into your daily routines and spend more time walking to places instead of driving to improve your health and well-being.

Put Extras to Good Use: Do you have extra canned goods or clothes that could benefit others in need? Clean out your pan-

try, closet or attic and donate extra items to homeless shelters or community outreach programs. You can also get the entire family involved and demonstrate to the children the value of giving.

For additional tips or to learn more about the Coal Creek Family YMCA’s family time programs, contact 425-282-1500 or visit coalcreekymca.org.

Local comedy returns Saturday with ‘The 206’

K

ent, Renton, Bellevue, Issaquah, Sammamish, Ellensburg, Enumclaw be warned — “The 206” is coming for you.

The Northwest-themed comedy show staring “Almost Live” alumni John Keister and Pat Cashman, along with newcomer Chris Cashman, premiers this weekend following “Saturday Night Live.”

The trio are quick to inform viewers this is not “Almost Live,” Kevin Endejan but as one of the lucky few who witnessed the first taping, it’s clear there are several similarities.

Most evident — the audience is still treated to skits covering a variety of localized topics.

Recent state laws passed, advancements in technology and change that’s happened in surrounding cities since 1999 is really all it takes to imagine where the show will venture.

And of course no community is safe. Anyone between Ballard and Bellingham, or Hanford to Humptulips is a potential target.

There are certainly differences from the show that ran on KING TV from 1984-1999. The studio is not as big. The staff is downsized.

From left, Chris Cashman, John Keister and Pat Cashman premier ‘The 206’ this weekend. photo credit, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

WHEN TO WATCH ‘The 206’ will premiere Saturday, Jan. 5, after SNL on KING 5. The first episode will run again at 7:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m on Sunday, Jan. 6 on KONG TV. Episodes will also be available online at www. the206.tv Cameras are much smaller too.

Fortunately, the laughs were just as large.

$EAS-141_OpenHouse_Ad_8.16x6_Jan2013.indd 1

While Keister was the sole host of “Almost Live,” all three men share responsibilities hosting “The 206.”

The crowd doesn’t sit in bleacher seats, but stands around the stage in an arc for a much more casual atmosphere — a scene compared to the BBC show, “Top Gear.”

It was apparent that even after a 14-year hiatus, neither Keister or Pat Cashman lost a step. The two local comedians were flawless during the filming of two consecutive live shows. Chris Cashman, son of Pat and an

Issaquah resident, adds a young face to the group. With his witty sense of humor and several successful television, internet and radio ventures of his own, he fits right in.

Anyone familiar with Washington, its stereotypes and its idiosyncrasies should be sure to tune in this weekend.

After all, as the motto goes, “if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?”

What’s happening around Issaquah and Sammamish

Boy Scouts recycle trees at Beaver Lake Park last year. CONTRIBUTED

Boy Scouts to recycle trees this weekend Don’t know what to do with that tree now that Christmas is over? The Sammamish Boy Scout troops have an answer.

On Jan. 5, for the 28th consecutive year, the organization will recycle trees for Sammamish and Issaquah Highlands residents.

Last year over 200 Scouts participated and 3,500 Christmas trees are estimated to have been recycled.

Trees will be picked up curbside starting at 9 a.m. The suggested donation is $15-$30 per tree and payment should be put in a plastic sandwich bag and attached to the tree.

The Scout Tree Drive is the primary fundraiser for six troops on the Plateau.

All donations fund Scouting programs in Sammamish.

More information is available at www.

ScoutTreeDrive.org.

Smith Elementary named School of Distinction Smith Elementary School in Sammamish was recognized as one of four schools from the Lake Washington School District to earn the designation of “Schools of Distinction” by the Center for Educational Effectiveness.

Smith was among 97 schools statewide that have shown a five-year improvement trend on the state’s Reading/Math index test scores for students.

The Schools of Distinction each had to show students meeting the state standard for their grade level at a minimum, as well as increasing improvement in the Reading/Math index of student test scores over the past five years.

Explorer Community School, Kirkland Middle School and Redmond Elementary were the three other schools in the LWSD to be honored.

Nine LWSD students picked for music groups Nine Sammamish students from the Lake Washington School District were recently selected to participate in one of the National Association for Music Education All-Northwest performing groups or one of the 2013 Washington Music Educators Association All-State performing groups.

The students were selected from over 2,200 applicants for the high school groups and will perform Feb. 14-17 in Portland, Ore. The list of local students includes: Jacob Berg, Eastlake High School, 2013 NAfME All-Northwest Mixed Choir; Emily Suter, Eastlake High School, baritone horn, 2013 WMEA All-State Concert

Band; Alexander Wictor, Eastlake High School, baritone horn, 2013 WMEA All-State Concert Band; Sharon Heung, International School, violin, 2013 WMEA All-State Symphony Orchestra; Ivar Sanders, Inglewood Middle School, trombone, WMEA Junior All-State Baker Band; William Ronneburg, Inglewood Middle School, trombone, WMEA Junior All-State Rainier Band; Alexander Ronneburg, Redmond High School, bassoon, 2013 NAfME All-Northwest Band; Conor Spear, Redmond High School, tenor, 2013 WMEA All-State Symphonic Choir and Erica Li, Redmond Middle School, violin, WMEA Junior All-State Orchestra.

Local students generate ‘Pennies for Pasta’ Sammamish’s Inglewood Middle School raised the state’s second largest amount in the Olive Garden’s annual “Pasta for Pennies” program, generating $9,275 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The final sum is a result of students collecting spare change over a three-week period.

Richland High School collected the most ($10,851) with Edgerton Elementary School in Puyallup third ($8,546).

Students throughout Washington collected $181,000, while $10.7 million was raised overall.

More than 57,500 students at 85 elementary, middle and high schools in 13 counties filled collection jars and boxes in their classrooms. The top fundraising class at each participating school received a pasta party from their local Olive Garden restaurant.

STEM students win robotics award Four students from the Science, Technology, Math and Engineering School located at Eastlake High School won the Judges Award at the Washington Jump Start VEX Robotics tournament Nov. 17 in Everett.

Team 917Z, Quantum Capopadialsa, consisted of Pavitra Siva, Saakshi Dulani, Divya Cherukupalli, Pooja Ghelani, Alka Pai and Catherine Yao. The Judges Award was given to the team that displayed special attributes, exemplary effort and perseverance and team accomplishments throughout the season that were deserving of special recognition.

The award is the first award won for the Quantum Robotics team and STEM High School, which is set to move to its new campus in unincorporated King County between Redmond and the Sammamish city limits.

Six local students named to Oregon State honor roll Six area students have made the honor roll for fall term at Oregon State University. They are Sarah A.

Project keeps seniors warm Low-income seniors in Issaquah and Snoqualmie Valley will be a little warmer this winter with scarves, lap blankets and hats knitted by a variety of congregations and clubs.

The project began with North Bend’s Cascade Covenant Church contacting Snoqualmie Valley Senior Connections, a coalition of service providers for the elderly in the Snoqualmie Valley.

Members of the church wanted to distribute 42 gift bags, including warm scarves, to elderly residents in need.

Eastside Friends of Seniors, a member of Snoqualmie Valley Senior Connections, contacted congregations and handicraft clubs in the area, to see if they could help make scarves for these gift bags. The response was overwhelming.

The Eastside Knitters Guild, the Crochet Guild of Puget Sound, the Interfaith Council of Washington, Westminster Chapel, First Presbyterian Church and individual knitters from Eastshore Unitarian Church, Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Bet Alef Meditative Synagogue and Pine Lake Covenant Church all participated in the project.

More than 120 handcrafted items were made.

Timberlake Church decided to put together their own shopping bag project, and they assembled 15 bags for low-income seniors in the greater Issaquah community.

Issaquah resident Shirley Lambert wears her scarf made by local knitters. CONTRIBUTED An additional 15 scarves went into American Red Cross disaster kits for Eastside Friends of Seniors’ lowincome isolated clients. These disaster kits were funded by the Issaquah Kiwanis Club and Puget Sound Energy.

The remaining scarves will be distributed to isolated homebound seniors who receive “Meals on Wheels” through the Issaquah Valley Senior Center.

Eastside Friends of Seniors provides free services

to seniors in communities from the Snoqualmie Valley to Bellevue. Volunteers provide minor household repairs, occasional rides to medical appointments, help with shopping and other services designed to allow seniors to retain the dignity of living independently.

Call 425-369-9120, or by email info@eastsidefriendsofseniors.org to request services, participate in next year’s knitting project or become a volunteer.

What’s happening in the world of sports

Eastlake tabs Stealth defender to lead high school lacrosse team

Skyline High School grad Kyle Groussman shows one of the poses that is popular with his youth classes.. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Issaquah native teaches Parkour

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

When Todd Falconer, the athletic director for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue, was approached by Issaquahnative Kyle Groussman about the notion of integrating Parkour into the programming, his reaction was uncertainty.

Like most, Falconer had seen the YouTube videos showing reckless teenagers and 20-somethings tossing their bodies around local parks and malls, sustaining gruesome injuries for sport.

“I was a little hesitant,” Falconer said. “But within the first five minutes, he explained everything about what he did.”

Unlike the popular notion of the fast-growing sport, which includes leaping between city rooftops and bouncing between concrete obstacles, Groussman has a holistic philosophy about fitness that uses Parkour as but one of its teaching tool. Taking inspiration from ancient Shaolin monks, yoga practitioners and modern sports science, Groussman created “MoveFree Academy,” a program he describes as “the discipline of functional self-improvement through movement.”

Groussman, who played soccer and baseball as a youngster, began learning about Parkour during his senior year at Skyline High School after seeing it showcased on the television show, “Ripley’s Believe it or Not.” “They didn’t even call it Parkour,” he said. “I started to realize, I climbed trees, I did those kinds of challenges.”

Groussman kept the idea of Parkour in his mind as he began a career in construction, where he developed a morning warm-up routine for co-workers, but didn’t begin to pursue a greater focus on the sport until three years ago.

That’s when he and partner Rami Mackay, another enthusiast who has been an instructor for around two years, began MoveFree Academy.

“It became more and more popular,” he said. “I saw a lot of potential.”

Around the same time Groussman was ramping-up his interest in Parkour, an accrediting agency called “Art du Deplacement and Parkour Teaching,” (ADAPT) brought its

first certification program to the United States. The timing could not have been better, and led Groussman to an even greeter understanding of his own philosophies about kinetic motion, exercise and fitness. It also made him one of only two ADAPT certified Parkour instructors in the state.

After beginning the program at the Boys and Girls Club as a free offering for its teens, Groussman said his twiceweekly classes are now overflowing with youth ages 8-18.

As parents see their children growing with the sport and gaining the physical fitness that comes with, they too have become interested.

He hopes to integrate MoveFree into the city’s parks and recreation offerings and also wants to expand into Issaquah, Sammamamish and other neighboring cities.

“We want to sprinkle in Parkour into the community,” Groussman said. “We don’t have to build this big gym that costs a lot of money. It should be accessible to all.”

Eastlake’s lacrosse team will have a new face roaming the sidelines during the spring and it will be one fans of the professional game know well.

Chris O’Dougherty has been with the Washington Stealth since being taken with the 58th overall selection in the 2009 draft and comes to the Wolves from Bellevue, where he helped the Wolverines to a Division I title as an assistant in 2012. The 26-yearold New Jersey native also has state championship experience as a coach in his hometown of Kinneton, where he was on staff before Chris heading to the Pacific Northwest.

O’Dougherty “I just try to give them that energy and passion for the game,” O’Dougherty said of his coaching philosophy. “I feel like I’m ready.”

The Wolves were 6-9-0 last season and did not make the playoffs and are the second Sammamish team to bring in a professional player to lead the program.

Eastside Catholic is coached by O’Dougherty’s Stealth teammate, forward Lewis Ratcliff.

While the decision to leave the Wolverines was not an easy one, O’Dougherty said the timing was right.

Boys basketball teams compete in holiday tournaments Eastside Catholic won its opener in the Chaminade Christmas Classic in California with a 51-34 win over Chatsworth before beating Valencia 55-52 on Thursday.

A 59-39 win over Kennedy (California) gave the Crusaders third place after a loss to Westlake.

Skyline faced Fountain Valley in its first game at the Surf N’ Slam in San Diego and left with a 70-61 win behind 22 points from Jonah Eastern.

Addison McIrvin added 17 and Blake O’Brien finished with 15 in the win.

Lynden handed the Spartans a 52-43 loss before coach Maui Borden’s squad rebounded with a 50-48 win over Highland.

Eastlake opened the tournament championship with a 66-47 win over the hosts at the South San Francisco Classic behind 21 points from Jake Davidson and 17 more from Mike Hwang. Tournament MVP Brandon Lester scored 11 more in the win and was named to the all-tournament team with Davidson.

The Wolves opened play with a 57-52 win over Galileo and followed that with an even more impressive 63-62 comeback win over Archbishop Riordan, a team ranked in the top-20 in California.

Issaquah escaped with a 46-45 win over Shorecrest in the Bothell Holiday Tournament on a game-winner from Ryan Sexton in the waning seconds before beating Edmonds-Woodway 58-55 on Friday.

Eastlake, Issaquah girls teams struggle, Skyline goes 2-1 Eastlake and Issaquah went a combined 0-5 against Wesco foes over the break.

The Lady Wolves lost 75-70 to Jackson, 59-45 to Snohomish and 46-44 to Stanwood while Issaquah fell 54-43 to Jackson and 54-48 to Snohomish.

Eastlake will return to conference play Friday with a trip to rival Redmond and the Eagles will meet Roosevelt.

Skyline finished with a 2-1 mark on its trip to California, defeating Lynbrook and St. Francis and losing to Brea-Olinda.

Eastside Catholic picked up a 59-35 win over Sammamish.

“Ford store” was on the southeast corner of the intersection. “Moms were home in those days,” says Vern, “and the teacher’s word was law. You didn’t dare skip school because someone would see you and tell your mother.”

Jeannie says the biggest change since then is in “people’s mobility…kids used to know everyone in the neighborhood.”

Vern taught business subjects, graphic arts, printing – “everything you need to know to get something into print” – at Issaquah High School from 1968 to 1991.

Jeannie established a business at home making miniatures and dollhouses when she found those she made for her daughters were better than those on the market.

Nowadays, they create scientifically correct “botanical kits” for making miniature flowers, using modern research tools and laser cutting. They market these kits through dollhouse shops and miniature shows.

Vern and Jeannie Lindquist model the costume native to his grandmother’s Vaasa Province, a Swedish-speaking area on the coast of Finland. CONTRIBUTED

Vern and Jeannie Lindquist, who live on East Lake Sammamish Parkway, are proud to be lifelong residents of the Issaquah area.

They were born within three months of each other in the same hospital in Renton in 1942. When Vern was three, his family moved from Seattle to their East Lake Sammamish home. His father was born in Sweden and his mother’s parents came from the Swedish-speaking part of Finland.

John Bialek, Jeannie’s father, had immigrated with his family from Czechoslovakia in 1903. Around 1940 the Bialeks bought property where the off-ramp from State Highway 18 to the Issaquah-Hobart Road is now, farming there for over 50 years.

Jeannie and Vern attended first grade together in Issaquah. Vern rode the school bus from the northern end of the route and Jeannie from the southern end. They were together all through school, graduating in 1960 from Issaquah High School, and from the University of Washington in 1964.

After his father died, Vern and Jeannie bought the house on Lake Sammamish from his mother, raised two daughters there, and still live there today. “There was never a desire or need” to move away, says Vern.

In summers as a child, Vern walked the railroad track to stay at relatives’ cabins for two or three days. His parents never worried about him in their close-knit community. He remembers shedding his shoes for the summer and how his feet hurt when he put them back on for school in September.

Growing up, Jeannie and her three sisters helped their parents with farm chores.

Jeannie was bored driving the tractor round and round the fields raking hay into rows , so she taught herself to whistle.

“There was a lady at church who whistled the hymns and it was so lovely, I wanted to do it, too.”

Both remember that in the 1950s in Issaquah, there was only a stop sign at Front St. and Sunset Way. Drylies’ “Honeysuckle” soda fountain was a few doors north on Front Street and the
