Central carnival joins 2014 Salmon Days Neighbors
work to restore Eagle Ridge
BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Tears for Fears was right: Everybody wants to rule the world, even the organizers of Salmon Days. Salmon Days enters its 45th festival — taking place Saturday and Sunday — on a high, having won its second consecutive Grand Pinnacle Award for the 2013 festival. Continuing its upward trajectory of growth for Salmon Days 2014, festival leadership has added a 12-ride carnival. The carnival will be held in the Front Street Staples parking lot, and rides will require admission. The festival is harkening back to its early days with an early ‘70s mod theme, dubbed “Coho Mojo.” Today, Salmon Days is a huge draw for the city of Issaquah, bringing in nearly 200,000 tourists a year. But it began more humbly. In 1970, the Chamber of Commerce was desperately seeking a replacement for the Labor Day Festival. The Labor Day Festival, begun in 1936, had once been a

Teens reach out to the disabled through art BY BRYAN TRUDE
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A common complaint parents can have of young teens is that they lack ambition and a sense of service to their community. That something the parents of Skyline High School’s Amol Garg, Isha Kshirsagar and Nihal Sandadi will never get to say. The trio of 14-year-old freshmen artists are the founders of “Art by Heart” (ABH) a community service organization devoted to raising funds, raising awareness, and reaching out to people with developmental disabilities through the “second language” of art. This weekend, ABH will be hosting their first awareness and fundraising effort with a booth at the Issaquah Salmon Days festival. This year, ABH is focusing their efforts on autism. Back in June Garg, Kshirsagar and Sandadi started ABH on their own, without the aid of a higher organization such as a
religious or community service group, after noticing a lack of outreach to the developmentally disabled. “We noticed there were not very many organizations to directly help very many conditions,” Garg said. “We say that organizations that directly help specific groups like autistic kids did not work as much towards awareness. An important part of working with autism is to work with the kids, and to provide awareness throughout the community.” The group noticed that there was a gap between the community and autistic kids, whereas ABH believes everybody should be equal, he said, leading to the choice to use art to try and close that gap, a medium to help autistic kids interact with the world around them. Autism is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a “pervasive developmental disorder,” typically manifesting in early childhood, that is marked
by difficulty with social interaction and communication, along with restricted and repetitive behaviors. It is ABH’s goal to ease that communication barrier. “Art is almost like a second language,” Garg said. “It’s a language that everybody speaks, whether it is through arts, through dance, through music, it is something that all of us can understand. It breaks that barrier and lets us all join together.” In working with autism, ABH is partnering with the Autistic Society of Washington (ASW), a group they were introduced to when ABH volunteered at a water table during the “Heroes for Autism” marathon in Seattle on Aug. 30. “They reached out to us first and wanted to help,” ASW Executive Director Corrine Daffern said. “They bring a lot of energy.” For their part, the trio said they receive a lot of support from their parents.

Under grey skies and cool, damp air, Woody Hertzog walks up a wood chip trail up the side of a steep hill near his Sammamish home. Along the way, he points out several areas where Washington-native plant species are making a comeback on ground that, just a few months ago, was choked by blackberry bushes. The entrepreneur and youth football coach for Skyline High School is leading the charge to restore this pocket of the plateau’s natural beauty, nestled away in the Eagle Ridge addition hanging over the shores of Lake Sammamish. Joined by his neighbors and even a local Cub Scout pack, Hertzog has been working for two years to change the 3.5-acre site from a bush-choked hillside to a beautiful pocket of native wetlands. “I was running on the East Lake Sammamish trail every day,” Hertzog said. “I got sick of it, I got bored seeing the same tree, the same bush go by. At the same time my son asked if I could cut a hole through the blackberries so that he could see the creeks that used to run through there.” After cutting through the blackberry bushes in the summer of 2013, Hertzog realized he got a full day’s workout. Clearing blackberries on land owned by the Eagle Ridge Homeowner’s Association across the road from his house, Hertzog replaced running alongside Lake Sammamish as his daily exercise. Reaching back to an area where a small native spring and creek formed a small wetlands area, Hertzog planted native species of plants to keep the blackberries from regrowing and choking out the land again. At the same time, he began laying down paths to keep from trampling the plants he put in. As Hertzog worked, neighbors began to see the natural beauty he was uncovering, asking how they could help.

No death penalty for two men accused in Sammamish murder Patterson, Shade face extradition from Canada to stand trial in Bergesen killing BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Early concerns on whether one of the men accused in the first murder in Sammamish city history could avoid extradition to the U.S. are unfounded, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office. On or before Sept. 19, Kevin David Patterson and Christopher Shade are alleged to have killed Richard Bergesen, 57, in his Sammamish home, the first recorded murder in Sammamish city history. After allegedly bludgeoning Bergesen to death with a shovel, according to court RICHARD documents, Patterson BERGESEN and Shade are alleged to have crossed into Canada north of Spokane, before being arrested in Abbotsford, British Columbia While in Canada, the two are accused of using Bergesen’s credit card to purchase clothes, computers and radios. The two also stole Bergesen’s car to flee the country, according to court documents. In the days following the murder, King County officials admitted that the extradition process for Patterson, a dual American/Canadian citizen, may be complicated due to the charges issued against him. Washington, despite a moratorium enacted by Gov. Jay Inslee in February of this year, does have the death penalty. According to a statement issued to the Reporter by the Canadian Department of Justice, Patterson would be protected by a 2001 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, United States v. Burns, if prosecutors chose to pursue the death penalty. In the Burns case, two men, Glen Burns and Atif Ahmad Rafay, were accused of killing Rafay’s parents and sister in Bellevue in 1994 before fleeing to Canada, where they confessed to undercover Royal Canadian Mounted Police agents. In the ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the two could only be extradited on
assurances from American prosecutors that they would not face the death penalty, as sending Canadian citizens to face capital punishment was a violation of fundamental justice under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a part of the Canadian Constitution equatable to the American Bill of Rights. Both Burns and Rafey were extradited a month following the Canadian court’s ruling, after which prosecutors ensured neither man would face the death penalty. In 2004, both men were found guilty and sentenced to three consecutive life sentences, without the possibility of parole. In charging documents dated Sept. 19, provided by the King County Prosecutor’s Office, both Patterson and Shade have been charged with first degree murder. According to Dan Donaho with the prosecutor’s office, the death penalty is only possible in aggravated first degree murder cases, unlike the charge Patterson and Shade face. Both men still face “lengthy” prison sentences if convicted, Donaho said. It will likely still be some time before Patterson and Shade face trial on American soil. Under Canadian law, justice officials have 30 days to consider whether or not an extradition hearing can even take place. During that hearing, a judge will determine that there would be enough evidence to warrant a trial in Canada if the offense had occurred there. If so, the Minister of Justice will then decide whether or not Canada will extradite the accused, in what is referred to as the ministerial phase. It is in this ministerial phase that the accused can request they not be extradited, including claiming protection under Burns. In addition to Canadian citizens, the Burns ruling also applies to foreigners facing extradition from Canada, according to a statement by the Canadian Department of Justice.

Schools Foundation awards $220,000 to LWSD Lake Washington students returned to school to find they could do a few new things: build robots, use a 3-D printer and learn how to prevent bullying. The new programs were made possible by nearly $220,000 provided to the school district by Lake Washington Schools Foundation. A $10,000 grant will help students access learning opportunities through the Access Fund that enables low-income middle and high school students to get the most out of school by providing scholarships to pay for school-related supplies, fees and extracurricular activities. A major Access Fund expense is for online classes, which help students who are behind in their classes to graduate. Another $10,000 grant will support the new Safe Schools Ambassador (SSA) Program, which will deal with bullying and harassment. The field-tested and evidencebased program will be implemented in Eastlake, Juanita, and Tesla STEM high schools and the International Community School. Student leaders will be trained to work with mentor adults in order to resolve conflicts and to support excluded students. The foundation also is funding the district’s New Teacher Support Program
for second year teachers with a grant of $18,000. The program provides teachers with a guiding mentor and extra training. The foundation stepped in to fill the funding gap after state funding for the second year of the program was discontinued. All Lake Washington schools are eligible to apply for the foundation’s Reaching for Success grants that provide up to $3,000 per applicant and give classrooms and schools tools to enrich learning. This year, the foundation is granting over $83,000 to 30 different schools. Eastlake High School’s robotics club. A $25,000 grant from the foundation continues to support the STEM-based Signature Programs, available this year in all seven of the district’s high schools. Signature Program interdisciplinary courses focus on topics such as global health, sustainability and engineering and provide career pathways through industry-based projects. The LINKS mentoring and tutoring program received $72,500 where LINKS volunteers spend one hour per week in classrooms as mentors, tutors and classroom helpers.

Water quality standards won’t burden business For months, there’s been a drumbeat of panic that new water quality standards based on how much fish people eat could drive Boeing and other companies out of Washington. And now the alarm has been sounded by voices from the circles of business, labor and Republican lawmakers. Word is, the price of compliance would be too expensive to be worth sticking around. But two state reports issued this week contend the changes won’t make a whit of difference to the bottom line and operations of those firms. And if there’s even a hint of problems, state government would be ready to flex its rules to Jerry Cornfield ensure things work out. Those reports accompanied Tuesday’s release of the proposed equation Gov. Jay Inslee wants to use to regulate what gets discharged into waterways from paper mills, sewage treatment plants and manufacturing facilities. The most talked about components have been how much fish residents eat and the risk of those folks getting cancer from exposure to chemicals in the water where the fish are caught. Inslee wants to hike the fish consumption rate significantly to 175 grams per day from the current 6.5 grams and vary the cancer-risk rate used on a chemical-bychemical basis. As part of the rule-making process, the Department of Ecology had to estimate if the changes might force businesses and local governments to shell out a bunch of money on improvements in order to comply. The agency conducted an analysis in which it examined the potential effects on 415 different facilities, public and private, operating today with a permit restricting their

discharges. And the conclusion was there will be “no impact” and “zero incremental cost” to existing facilities. In other words, if the proposed changes are enacted next year, no one will have to do anything different than they do now. “This meets the clear directive from the governor that we update our clean water standards to protect the health of all Washingtonians, our environment and our economy,” Ecology Director Maia Bellon said in a statement Tuesday. “What matters to people, and fish, is not the formula but the outcome – it’s less about the complex formula going into the standard and more about the level of pollution coming out of the pipe,” she said. “And the end result is that most standards are more protective and, with the one exception of naturally occurring arsenic, no standard is less protective than today.” There was little immediate reaction Tuesday from those who had been worried about the impact on businesses. That wasn’t the case with tribal leaders and environmentalists who continue to
press the governor to not allow use of a lower cancer-risk rate. “Asking Washingtonians to assume a higher level of cancer risk is not an acceptable trade-off,” reads a statement issued by the Washington Environmental Council. The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, which represents 20 western Washington tribes, criticized the approach in a letter to Inslee last month. The governor has yet to respond. “That’s just not acceptable for our tribe, for any tribe in the state or anybody who eats a lot of salmon,” Jim Peters, a member of the Squaxin Island Tribal Council told the Associated Press. “They really don’t understand that impact to our people.” The Department of Ecology will formally launch the rulemaking process in January and hold public hearings on the proposal. That will give all the voices a chance to be heard.

LWSD seeks input on redrawn school boundaries BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is one of the fastest growing districts in the state, and is looking to the community for help in deciding how to handle future growth. District residents are urged to go online and complete a survey to help LWSD officials decide on their primary focus when they consider redrawing school boundaries to redistributed enrollment. Today, Oct. 3, is the last day to complete the survey.
Data gathered will be used by a LWSD staff committee to develop a recommendation to be approved by the superintendent before Kindergarten enrollment opens in February. Enrollment district-wide stood at 26,615 as of Sept. 29. By the 2017-18 school year, enrollment is expected to grow by more than 2,000 students. At a Sept. 8 study session, district officials determined that the LWSD would need to add 71 more classrooms to handle the expected increase. While officials have adopted a plan to add at least 69 classrooms by that time at a cost of $20
million, the new boundaries would help distribute the levels of students across the district to make more efficient use of the new spaces. Parents unable to complete the survey will not be out of options. The committee will hold four open house sessions in December to enable parents to weigh in on the proposed new boundaries. The survey is available online under the “News - LWSD Reboundary” section at www.lwsd.org. Bryan Trude: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; btrude@issaquahreporter.com

SALMON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
tourism boon for the Issaquah, but attendance petered out in the 1960s and the event was shuttered in 1968. Earl Robertson, then the president of the Chamber, wondered: What about salmon? Robertson knew the city received visiting nature enthusiasts in the fall, when coho and chinook salmon returned to Issaquah Creek to spawn. He believed a festival organized around the return of the salmon could recapture the hey-day of the Labor Day Festival and draw attention to the Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery. The Salmon Festival (it wouldn’t be renamed Salmon Days for another year) took place on Oct. 3, 1970. It was small, mostly emphasizing the hatchery, bolstered by a small street art show, Kiwanis BBQ and
children’s parade. Salmon Days remained small for the first decade of operation, primarily attractive for its parade. But association with Seafair beginning in the 1980s rapidly grew Salmon Days into a regional attraction. It added an adult Grande Parade replete with Seafair floats. Meanwhile, the diminutive art show became a marketplace and exploded to include hundreds of vendors. But how are salmon faring? It’s complicated: according to the history maintained by the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, populations were devastated by logging and mining activities in the early 20th Century. The Hatchery was
Page 11
constructed as a federal New Deal project of the Works Progress Administration in 1936. Every year, the hatchery raises and releases 2.5 million coho and chinook salmon, both listed as threatened species in Washington state under the Endangered Species Act (Chinook are endangered in the Upper Columbia River Spring run area). Only a fraction of that number complete the upstream return trip to their birthplace to spawn a new generation. In 2013, 2,554 chinook spawned within the hatchery, along with 10,568 coho. Keeping in mind the numbers can fluctuate wildly year-to-year, the chinook returns
were the third-lowest since 1997, while the coho returns were on a significant upswing from a record low of 474 in 2010. On Monday, the King County Flood Control District approved more than $4 million in grant funding for clean water, habitat restoration and salmon recovery, including $1.5 million for the Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish Watershed. Jacques White, executive director of Long Live The Kings, told a gathering of state and municipal lawmakers at a Sept. 19 hatchery presentation that efforts needed more state attention and financing, illustrating that funds for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife had shrunk as a proportion of the general fund in recent years. “This is what I call a teachable legislative moment,” he said.

Rivalry contest goes to Spartans BY SHAUN SCOTT
Prep Football
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Spartans suffer first loss of the season The Woodinville Falcons defeated the Skyline Spartans 26-23 on Sept. 26 in Sammamish. The Spartans (3-1) will face the Redmond Mustangs at 7 p.m. tonight in Redmond.
Crusaders win third consecutive game The Eastside Catholic Crusaders continued their winning ways with a 42-16 victory against the Lakeside Lions on Sept. 26 in Sammamish. It was the Crusaders third victory in a row. The Crusaders (3-1) will host the Seattle Prep Panthers at 7 p.m. tonight in Sammamish.
Wolves register win against rival Eagles In a showdown between schools separated by a mere seven miles, the Eastlake Wolves came out on top with a 34-28 victory against the Issaquah Eagles on Sept. 26 in Sammamish. Eastlake has won three conecutive games in a row. The Wolves (3-1) will face the Newport Knights at 7 p.m. tonight in Bellevue. The Eagles (1-3) will host the Olympia Bears at 7 p.m. tonight in a non-league matchup in Issaquah.
In a battle between Class 4A KingCo soccer powerhouses, the Skyline Spartans reigned supreme against the Eastlake Wolves. Skyline registered a convincing 3-1 victory against Eastlake on Sept. 25 at Skyline High School in Sammamish. The Spartans (5-1-1) outshot the Wolves (4-1-1) 22-9 in the contest. Spartans’ head coach Don Braman was glad to see his team pick up an important victory in KingCo league play. “We are now into the ones that count. It is so important to play well against your rival,” Braman said. “Eastlake is a really strong team and had a great pre-season. We just wanted to come out and play the kind of soccer that we know we can.” Ke’ala Louie (21st minute), Candace Hunter (34th minute) and Gabby Hart (62nd minute) each scored a goal in the win for the Spartans. Spartans’ senior forward Amanda Johnston had two assists and Bianca Lindberg added an assist as well.
“We really liked that we got contributions from a lot of different players. We have such quality all over the field. Amanda Johnston created a lot of solid opportunities for us,” Braman said. “Overall I’m really pleased with the runs that we are making and the chances we are creating.” While Braman was impressed with his team’s performance, he believes his squad has plenty of room to ascend as the season progresses. “We just need to do a little better in the finishing department (scoring goals) so we can compete with the teams that we have to compete with in our league,” he said. Eastlake head coach Chuck Krieble said his team gave it all they had against the Spartans. Eastlake never wavered despite trailing Skyline by three goals with 18 minutes left in regulation. Eastlake had four shots on goal in the final 15 minutes of play. Wolves’ midfielder Jodi Ulkekul scored a goal in the 76h minute. “They know they played well. Obviously this (Skyline) is a good squad,” Krieble said. “We’re disap-

Eastlake’s Clark: towering over opponents in the trenches BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A one-year hiatus from the gridiron hasn’t stopped Eastlake Wolves defensive end Evan Clark from wreaking havoc on opposing team’s offensive lineman in early season action. EVAN CLARK Clark, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall, utilizes his length and agility to relentlessly pursue quarterbacks into bad decisions. Clark had a game-high three sacks against the Gig Harbor Tides in a non-league contest Sept. 19. Clark said his lacrosse background combined with his unusual size give him the tools he needs in order to be a successful defensive lineman. “It gives me a big advantage on pass rush. If guys are bigger or stronger than me, I get them locked out with their arms where they can’t get their hands on me ... Once they start adjusting, I will swim back to the inside because they are looking for that outside rush,” Clark said. “Playing lacrosse helps me a lot with my agility. When you’re a lineman people don’t expect you to come out and be very agile, but playing lacrosse helps with footwork, cutting and endurance, too.” Clark said he’s not feeling rusty despite sitting out his junior season in 2013 after playing as a sophomore in 2012. “I felt like I needed to take a year off last

year. Now I’m recommitted to the game and am just out here having a good time,” he said. Recently the Issaquah Reporter had an opportunity to ask Clark a few questions about his life away from the football field. Issaquah Reporter: What is your biggest pet peeve? Evan Clark: It is probably bad drivers. It just bothers me when I’m trying to get to school and people aren’t driving right.

Samm. student shares experience interviewing Chinese factory worker Ed. Note: This essay was submitted to the Reporter, whose editorial staff chose to publish it. While some edits have been made for clarity and to allow for space restrictions, the thoughts and statements expressed within are those of the author and of the author alone. The full, unedited text of the essay is available online at www. issaquahreporter.com. The woman I met is a very quiet person. The loud noises from the machines around her don’t bother her. All her concentration is focused on the products in her hands that need to be trimmed. I found her hands to be quite coarse due to overuse. “How have those hands been toiled?” I asked myself. “Hi, I’m Isabelle! It’s so nice to meet you!” I wrote on a paper as I introduced myself to this hardworking factory worker. She raised
her head and smiled at me. Her name is Yan Wang, she was born deaf, and is a working mom who is employed by Sichuan YOTO Rubber Engineering Company. Yan and I began a wonderful and silent interview although an unusual one as we wrote down our questions and answers regarding the interview on paper. Yan is 45 years old and even though she is deaf, she was able to finish elementary school. Her first job as an adult was washing piles of dirty dishes in a restaurant. Years of washing dishes made her hands very coarse. Yan was paid 16.66 Yuan ($2.70) per day without health insurance benefits. Although this salary doesn’t seem very high by American standards it was supplemented with her husband’s meager earnings selling cattle grass. So how did YOTO change Yan’s life? I found the answer after learning

these three friends closer. Yan has two sons, who are 17 and 12 years old. Even though she and her husband both can’t hear, her sons are perfectly healthy and can hear. According to Yan, her sons take good care of themselves. Yan and her husband have to leave home early and return late due to their work. Her sons do their homework, cook for themselves, complete chores, and finally play with their friends. Yan, however, still worries about her kids. She often leaves the factory early to go home and see how her sons are doing. Mr. Zhou has a good plan for those who want to leave early. He allows workers in the cutting room to take products home, and work on them while they are at home. Yan has already worked in the factory for a year and half. She told me firmly that she is happy working in this factory. This workplace has taken a lot of pressure off her. Her whole family’s health insurance is paid by the factory, and her retirement fee is settled. Yan earns about 1,800 Yuan per month. This salary was thought to be impossible to earn before. Today, Yan has a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, phone, and a house of her own. In a middle class family, these items are considered necessities but for Yan, they are extravagances. Yan smiles a great deal now and is so very thankful for her job. Her smile is simple, and pure. Although she can’t hear the noises of the earth, she has her own inner peace. There are no vacations or entertainment, but she is happy, and her life is full. She doesn’t understand most of my questions, but our interview was still a masterpiece. We can’t communicate perfectly, but I can understand her satisfaction in her job, and her gratefulness for life.

it trains future employees for free. The China Disabled Persons Federation (CDPF), an organization for disabled people in China, sends members who are capable of doing factory work to YOTO. Healthy people take a few weeks to master all techniques needed to work at YOTO, but disabled people can take up to half a year to learn their skills. Yan took only three months to learn the trimming skill she needed to become a qualified worker, so she concentrated and persevered. Mr. Zhou, the owner of the factory, complimented Yan saying, “She can trim products with more efficiency and quality than workers without disabilities.” When training is over some students become YOTO workers, and others go back to the CDPF for other jobs. Zhou taught his managers and employees to respect the disabled people. Additionally, every new

about the company. YOTO produces rubber products for airplanes, metal fences, and furniture. It covers 20,000 square meters, and produced $6 million worth of products this year. The value of products produced is predicted to be well above $12 million in 2015. Forty percent of the company’s frontline workers are composed of disabled people. These workers have varied backgrounds. Some people were born disabled, while some were injured in earthquakes. The YOTO staff is always the first ones on an earthquake relief team. These disabled workers’ general educational levels are middle school to ninth grade. Before coming to YOTO, most disabled workers were farmers, dishwashers, or simply relied on benefits from the government. YOTO is both a factory and a training school, and

worker at YOTO has to learn sign language in order to communicate with the deaf employees. Zhou told me there has never been a fight between employees in his company because they are united in their task to succeed, although sometimes the workers would gather in his office and ask for a higher wage! Mr. Zhou’s employees are grateful for the health insurance benefits and love their jobs. They feel needed and capable at the YOTO Company. The CEO also supports annual sports events such as table tennis and tug-of-war. All workers join and enjoy these competitive events. Disabled people at YOTO never feel disabled; they win in these sports events just like other workers without disabilities. Most workers in the factory work twelve hours a day. Yan’s day starts at 6 a.m. She works until 12 a.m., and then she takes a lunch break. Yan hangs out with her good friends, Li and Pei during lunch. They both have disabilities, but they understand each other in their hearts. Mr. Zhou often gives his workers a chance to earn more money. When some machines or products need to be fixed, Mr. Zhou gives this job to several workers, the most efficient ones can earn most money. This is a smart method; workers are motivated to challenge themselves. Competition in work efficiency only draws

The fine art of making spaghetti squash
GATEWAY TO MOROCCO
W
hat a great time of year, when the weather starts getting cooler and the leaves are changing color. And, we all start craving some warmer, heartier foods like squash. There are many varieties in the store to choose from — don’t Jami Scott be afraid to experiment and buy one you’ve never cooked before. Squash can be eaten in savory or sweet dishes, roasted, steamed, sautéed and mashed. Here are a few recipes to get you started: Acorn Squash: Small, dark green and milder than most varieties. To cook, stuff with whole grains and vegetables for one or two people. Delicata Squash: Small, cylindrical and green with tan stripes. Use in baking as it’s quite sweet. Butternut Squash: Large, smooth, peanut-shaped squash with tan skin. Excellent source of vitamins A and C. This is a great one for baking or mashing. Spaghetti Squash: Semi-soft and yellow. Bake first, then use a fork to remove the flesh in strands like spaghetti. Kabocha Squash: Pale green with a creamy, moist texture. Sweet and tasty mashed with unsweetened almond milk and cinnamon.

Art installation honors legacy of Snoqualmie Tribe’s Mary Louie BY CAROL LADWIG REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
It was intended as a short-term creation — and it will be, in the long term — but the artwork dedicated at Meadowbrook Farm Saturday, Sept. 27, is too timeless to be temporary. Begun as a site-specific installation funded by King County’s 4Culture, the Mary Louie Project, with its interplay of local history and culture and natural beauty, held such appeal for the Meadowbrook Farm board, artist Don Fels said, that board members asked him to make it permanent. “It was just supposed to be up for a couple weekends,” said Fels, who created the piece with former North Bend museum curator Kenneth G. Watson and Sammamish arts advocate Barbara Jirsa. “No one knows exactly when she was born, but it’s claimed that she was 120 years old when she died,” said Fels, “or she was 115, or she was 110. I think it’s pretty safe to say she was old.” For much of her life, Mary was a medicine woman and midwife. “She traveled by canoe and was a helper of various people in distress, and one of the things she helped with was delivering babies,” Fels said. “She inherited a tradition of medicine based on plants, which is ancient, ancient tradition.” So the creators were fairly certain that she would have visited Meadowbrook, the largest meadow around and a gathering place for Snoqualmies and other tribes, to harvest or trade for medicinal plants she could not find elsewhere.
SETH TRUSCOTT, Snoqualmie Valley-Record
Fall City artist Don Fels, foreground, and Kenneth Gregory Watson, in the far distance hidden behind the pole second from right, adjust Fels’ new art installation, the Mary Louie Project, at Meadowbrook Farm—a curving row of poles that echo the changing seasons. The farm was an obvious location for an installation, even before their first site selection fell through. The Mary Louie Project was originally destined for Lake Sammamish, her birth place, until a construction project that would close the trail for nine months was announced. The move
to Meadowbrook was easy. “We’d always wanted to do something at Meadowbrook,” Fels said. Also, “the whole Salish culture is very place-oriented.” Place became a crucial part of the piece, Fels said, when he found a small clearing, close to but invisible from nearby Boalch
Avenue. A blackberry-lined track across Boalch from a small parking area leads to it, he said, “then it opens up into this really lovely meadow, with Mount Si right behind it.” It was exactly the kind of peaceful setting that Snoqualmie elders would have used to consider decisions before sharing them with the tribe. “Native people didn’t really have names for the seasons or months,” explained Fels, but planned more according to the natural world — when the salmon were running or the blackberries were ripe, for instance. “The practice was that an elder would go and sit somewhere, and think, watch the sun go up, and determine by sightings what the seasons were ... It was all sort of tuned for where you lived.” To represent this ‘calendar,’ Fels and Watson mounted 11 cedar planks, colored according to some of the native seasons, in a curving line. The seat is a piece of the “swing rock,” from the Snoqualmie legend of how their ancestors came to the area via a rope swing from the sky. Because so much Snoqualmie history was involved, Fels said, “We got the blessing of the tribe right off the bat, which has been very important to us.” Fels, who works internationally, is pleased to be a part of such a local effort, and is already planning part two of it, for next year at Lake Sammamish.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
