INSIDE Bike lanes a communication failure the Reporter
ELECTION | The Candidates of the 5th Legislative District [2-3]
BY BRYAN TRUDE
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Parents, locals and school officials were caught by surprise when the city of Sammamish re-striped Trossachs Boulevard, adding a bike lane in front of Cascade Ridge Elementary School, in what city officials are admitting was a failure of communication. The bike lane was a response to complaints last summer about speeding along Trossachs Boulevard when school was letting students in or out of school. “Our traffic engineers also sat out there and observed traffic conditions,” Public Works Director Laura Philpot said.
“We asked, what were things we could do with the roadway configuration to slow things down?” However, supporters and opponents of the change never were consulted regarding the new bike lane. “It was just done behind our back,” Simona Saint, who voiced her complaints about the project to the Sammamish City Council, said. “That is a walking community. There are no school busses, so most families are walking and dropping off their kids.” Opponents like Saint cite that the new lane, which runs down the middle of the street next to a constricted northbound vehicle lane, does

The family that scares together, stays together. The Mullins family came to Sammamish from California in 2011. Mark, an employee at Microsoft, and his wife Sherri, heard about an event held every October called "Nightmare at Beaver Lake." In 2012, they took their daughters, Danielle, now 15, and Kaylee, now 13, to see the annual haunted house, presented by the Sammamish Rotary. "After going to [Nightmare], Danielle and Kaylee were really excited about it and wanted to volunteer the following year," Sherri said. "The girls wanted to volunteer with their friends, but they could not find anyone available, so I suggested we do it as a family." Now in their second year of volunteering, Mark and Danielle do makeup while Kaylee works in her second year as a show actor. Sherri, after acting last year with Kaylee — actors 12 or under have to

"It ended up being a great family thing to do together," Sherri said. "It was also a great way for us to get involved in the community." Volunteer commitments for "Nightmare" can run for weeks on end, including the two weeks the show is in production. Between work, school, and other commitments, finding the time for an entire family to volunteer can be challenging, Sherri said, but it is a commitment that is "worth the time and effort.” "It is difficult to balance everything," Sherri said. "Homework has to be done
ahead of time on the days that Kaylee is acting because the acting shift can be five to six hours a night, depending on the crowds and the day of the week." While Mark and Danielle enjoy the creative side of making actors look like the dead, diseased and horrible creatures of the night, Kaylee just likes to scare people, according to Sherri, especially when she makes an adult scream. At the same time, the kids learn a valuable lesson about volunteering. "We think it is very important to volunteer. It teaches you that your time is SEE MULLINS, 16

Fiscal accountability: At a roundtable hosted by the Issaquah Chamber, Rodne expressed displeasure with several state organizations. “I’d clean house on (the Department of Transportation) quite honestly … 8 cents of the gas tax includes a guarantee to the Washington state ferry. The ferry system is in need of such reform. I’d cut them off until they get their house in order.” Rodne said he was likewise frustrated with the high state rates on Labor

Key Issues Education: “I support (Initiative 1351) because as a mother of children in the Issaquah School District, one of the best things we can do is get children the classroom they need.

We’re making targeted investments in K-3 education.” Rodne does not support Initiative 1351, the class size reduction measure on the Nov. 4 ballot. “I oppose the initiative because it does not have a funding source.” Why should someone vote for you?: “We need long-term solutions to bolster our economy and create jobs, reform our state budget process and prioritize state government to focus on education, public safety and the safety net for our most vulnerable. I have put forward solutions in these areas — in addition to education, property rights and transportation — and will continue to advocate for them and others.”

Key Issues Education: “The most important issue is how to fully fund our public schools. … The only way we can fully fund our public schools without raising taxes on the poor or middle class is to roll back the $45 billion in tax breaks our state Legislature gives away to wealthy multinational corporations every year. This would not harm these corporations as they could deduct their state taxes from their federal taxes.” Transportation: “Our state has a $20 billion road construction backlog, yet we also pay among the highest gas taxes in the nation. … I oppose raiding the gas tax, which would severely harm the poor and middle class. Instead, we should roll back corporate tax breaks to clear up our road construction backlog.”
Transportation: “It will be a priority. I don’t sit on the transportation committee, but I am focused on providing for the transportation infrastructure we need to CHAD reduce congestion. Two MAGENDANZ projects I am focused on in particular is the completion of SR-18, and widening the Maple Valley Highway all the way to Black Diamond.” Why should someone vote for you?: “I’m kind of a rarity among Republicans. I am a very moderate Republican, and I am progressive on social issues. I am very centered politically, and I think that reflects my district. Polls on the eastside show that 72 percent are pro-choice, and I am a pro-choice Republican. On societal issues I think we need to put laws in place for a more just society, but I am also sensitive to the fiscal issues. We need to be budgeting in a fiscally responsible way, and we need to ensure that the limited fiscal resources we have have the best outcome for future generations.”
Property Taxes: “In my opinion our property taxes are way too high and people are being driven out of their homes by excessive property taxes. … I oppose any increase in our DAVID SPRING property taxes. Instead, I think we should lower property taxes back to what they were in the 1990s by rolling back corporate tax breaks to what they were in the 1990s.” Higher Education: “I believe that it is wrong to saddle students with tens of thousands of dollars of debt just to get a higher education. I support restoring state support for higher education to what it was in the 1990s by rolling back corporate tax breaks to what they were in the 1990s.” Political Corruption: “Not only do massive corporate tax breaks lead to lower school funding, lower transportation funding, lower higher education funding, and higher local property taxes, but it also corrupts our democracy. … We must put an end to corporate tax breaks and the resulting bribes and kickbacks if we are ever to restore our democracy.” Why should someone vote for you: “I will fully fund our public schools by rolling back corporate tax breaks … I will fully fund urgently needed transportation projects by rolling back corporate tax breaks … I will fully fund higher education by rolling back corporate tax breaks … I will reduce political corruption in Olympia by outlawing the current system of bribes and kickbacks that are destroying our democracy.” 1158013

I-594 best choice to help make people, cities safer
T
wo initiatives regarding guns are on the November general election ballot. Neither will end gun violence in our society. But one of them – I-594 — at least has a chance to make people and cities safer. Voters should say Yes to I-594. A similar measure — I-591 — should be rejected. I-594 is not a radical move on guns and gun ownership. Today, if you go into a licensed gun shop or other licensed retailer that sells guns, you must pass a criminal background check before you take possession of the weapon. I-594 simply extends that requirement to private gun sales, including those sold at gun shows or over the internet. Doing that will help keep guns out of the hands of criminals, those with severe mental illness or who are domestic abusers. Background checks work to keep us safe. Nationwide, such checks have blocked 2.2 million gun sales to prohibited people. Even better, in states where background checks required on all gun sales, 38 percent fewer women are shot to death by their partners and 39 fewer fewer police officers are killed with handguns. I-594 isn’t draconian. You still will be able to give a gun as a gift to a family member. You also could loan someone one of your guns when it’s needed for self-defense. That said, I-594 won’t end gun violence. Criminals may get their hands on guns — after all, they’re criminals. But I-594 will make that harder for them, which means life will be safer for us. The other measure, I-591, would make us wait for tighter regulations until Congress acts to do this on a national level. That’s unlikely to happen since the National Rifle Association opposes this and has too much influence on too many of those in Congress. Vote Yes on I-594. You’ll sleep more safely, and so will your neighbors. — Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

W
e appreciate the ideals of Initiative 1351 and believe reducing class sizes is a tool in the toolbox to increase educational outcomes. As business leaders, community activists and, most importantly, parents, we don’t oppose public investments in our schools that improve educational outcomes efficiently and responsibly. Unfortunately, I-1351 is neither efficient nor responsible. It is a redundant, unfunded mandate that may not reduce class sizes while GARY burdening taxpayers, GUENTHER school districts, and the legislature with unbudgeted price tags for dubious ideals. I-1351 will cost taxpayers approximately $4.7 billion over the next four years with the goal of reducing class sizes in all grades.

homes, cancer research, and state parks combined. The Legislature directed the Washington State Institute for Public Policy to answer this question: do the benefits of reducing the number of students in K-12 classrooms outweigh the costs? In kindergarten through third grade the answer is yes, and the Legislature is already making progress on class size reduction for lower grades – making much of 1351 duplicative. However, after third grade it was determined that “reducing class size poses a substantial risk of an unfavorable outcome – that is, where costs may often exceed benefits,” making the rest of 1351 extremely wasteful. And the ideals of 1351 are simply out of reach for some school districts, having neither the capital nor real estate resources to absorb the requirements. In Issaquah, officials have estimated it would take north of 100 classrooms – on top of existing class size reduction requirements, SEE I-1351, 5

Hill listens to parents
I’ve been involved in education advocacy in public schools for the past 12 years. As the parent of a child with autism, I’ve worked closely with families and schools to help students with disabilities. When I first met Andy Hill, I was immediately impressed by his smarts, his passion for helping others, and a problem-solving approach that puts what’s best for kids above politics. He understands the challenges our schools face. And he’s impatient, but in a good way, because that meant starting on his first day in office, Sen. Hill was ready to tackle the big issues. He’s been unwilling to accept the same, tiresome excuses for past failures. Most importantly, Sen. Hill listens. When parents SEE LETTERS, 5

Reporter’s Notebook
Driving in the rain marks the City of Surprises
Y
ou know, I would think that drivers in a place that sees as much rain as Seattle would be better about driving in the rain. Granted, I’ve only lived in the Puget Sound area for going on six months now, but as we charge headfirst into fall with all of the subtlety of a Space Needle decked out in pulsating rainbowcolored christmas lights synched to a kidney-rattling EDM beat, the onset of early morning rain and the absolute unfettered carnage it wreaks on the commute is astounding. Now, before coming to Seattle, I lived in a fairly dry place. However it wasn’t like drivers there had never heard of rain. The rain BRYAN could be falling sideways in 40 TRUDE mile sustained winds as drivers zipped between lightning strikes and tornadoes, and many drivers would never blink an eye. So seeing how traffic slowed, even as a squall line blew through Tukwila while I was trying to get to Mountlake Terrace up I-5 recently, was very surprising. That one word, to be honest, has been the story of my life since I arrived here at the start of May. Surprising. Before I moved out here, I was speaking with a state
WWW.ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
legislator in my old home state, a place I dare not name because some people are still sore about a certain team of professional basketball players moving out that-aways, but really, come on, it’s been seven years already. We were chit-chatting about my impending relocation, he slapped me on the back, and said that coming out to Seattle would be good for me. I could “be with my own kind.” I’m still not exactly sure how to feel about that. What I’ve found, though, is a place that this gentleman may find to be more familiar than he thought. The raging debate regarding I-594, a measure I thought would pass handily in Stereotypically Liberal Washington™, has honestly caught me off guard. Listening to media reports trickling out across the nation, I expected to find a city and a community wrapped in a persistent morning fog composed of at least 80 percent pot smoke. The amount of resistance in regard to the zoning for legal pot businesses has been, frankly, amazing to me. Heck, part of me thought that when I got out here, my diet would consist primarily of sustainably-harvested fish, locally-sourced kale chips and fair-trade quinoa. I suppose that is what I get for buying in to the stereotypes. That is what I think is Seattle’s true identity: not the Emerald City, not the Jet City, but “The City of Surprises.” However, at about 1 a.m., coming down I-5 returning from Mountlake Terrace, crossing the Ship Canal Bridge, I got my first clear view of the city at night. That is the moment I saw Seattle in her full, glistening glory, and I gave it one more name. “Home.” Reporter’s Notebook is an occasional feature in the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter by staff writers.

like me approach him with a problem, he tries to understand it from our perspective. If issues come up that directly impact our community, he asks us to share our views. During his time in office, he has made helping our most vulnerable a top priority. His VIP Act means that 5,000 people with disabilities and their families will receive respite care and supported employment. His Para-educator Development Bill will provide a career path for educators who provide over half of all instruction to students with disabilities. I’ve seen firsthand how these dedicated professionals have changed the lives of students with disabilities, including my own son. I’m voting for Andy Hill because of his commitment to education and his passion for helping others. I hope you’ll do the same. Beth Sigall, Redmond
Hill knows how to get things done
I have yet to see where Matt Isenhower has differentiated himself as a candidate in the 45th District. He claims to support education, which Andy Hill has done for decades as a PTSA member/president, a math tutor and a board member. Isenhower touts his business experience, which does not necessarily translate to success in politics. Andy Hill has extensive business experience as well as a proven ability to work across the aisle to get things done in Olympia. I’m very disgusted and disappointed that Andy Hill’s opponents say he hasn’t done enough for education. Andy ran for office promising to fight for a sustainable budget that prioritizes education. By 2013 he was the budget chair and passed a budget with historic levels of bipartisan support. It was supported by 90 percent of legislators, something that hasn’t been accomplished in decades. Before Andy wrote the budget, Washington had been underfunding education for 30 years. It is incorrect and disingenuous to blame Senator Hill for the past actions of the majority party. If you’ve had the chance to meet Andy Hill, you know how SEE LETTERS, 6

genuine a person he is. As our state senator, he’s been just as genuine in following through on the promises he made when he first ran four years ago. I believe Andy Hill is a clear choice for Senate. He has demonstrated he knows how to get things done. I just don’t see how Matt Isenhower has what it takes to do a better job.

Regarding to a recent letter writer who criticized my prior letter concerning Dave Reichert’s voting record, too many citizens are either apathetic and don’t vote at all or they only listen to what their politicians say in their ads and slogans. They aren’t watching what they actually do. It seems Rep.

Police investigating rash of wire thefts from street lights Thieves have been cutting splicers, trying to pull wire from electrical boxes on sides of roads BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Sammamish Police Department (SPD) is looking for anyone with information on persons vandalizing street lights across the city to steal copper wire. Since late September, SPD officers have taken seven reports on electrical splicers being cut on street light control boxes at different locations in Sammamish, according to police reports, so that unknown persons could steal copper wiring running between the boxes and street lamps. As much as 500 feet of
insulated copper wire was stolen in one incident, however thieves were not able to steal wire in every incident. Sammamish PD Sgt. Tony Garza told the Reporter that the amount of wire taken was low compared to the amount of work to get it. “You’d have to have a lot of it to get a return on your investment,” he said. In the incident where 500 feet of wire was taken, suspects are believed to have used a truck to pull the wire from the electrical box. Police currently have no suspect or vehicle information.

‘Nightmare at Beaver Lake’ opens as a screaming success
CELEBRATE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
The annual indoor/outdoor haunted house is one of the largest fundraisers of the year for Sammamish Rotary
Working for a breast cancer cure
BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance and Councilman Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo were among the dignitaries who turned out to cut the ribbon last week, officially opening this year’s “Nightmare at Beaver Lake.” Both joined Sammamish Rotary president Cary Young and Scare Productions president Curt Madden for the ribbon cutting Thursday, Oct. 16, at Beaver Lake Park. “We are so proud of the Rotary and all that they do for this community,” Vance said. The night also marked a preview and dress rehearsal night for “Nightmare,” inviting families of volunteers to experience the expanded, 33-set indoor and outdoor haunted house attraction, requiring as many as 120 volunteer actors to put on every night. Starting from the main gate near the Beaver Lake baseball fields, “Nightmare” winds across Beaver Lake State Park, beckoning patrons inside elaborate sets meant to startle, scare and disorient, ending with a haunted hotel constructed into the Beaver Lake Park pavilion.

“I’ve been dancing since I was 2 1/2, it’s a role I’ve always wanted to play,” he said. “Bert is just a very optimistic guy. Nothing truly bothers him.” The Village Theatre’s take on the script by Cameron Mackintosh and Julian Fellowes, creator and write of Downton Abbey, features never-before-seen stunts, and dance moves McCormick Allen is eager to showcase. Co-directed by Steve Tomkins and Kathryn Van Meter, co-musically directed by Tim Symons and Bruce Monroe, the show will feature a blend of traditional songs and dances from the movie, including “Spoonful of Sugar,” “Let’s Go Fly A Kite,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Step in Time,” “Feed The Birds,” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Ilika said the 30-person cast and 15-member orchestra is unlike anything she’s ever preformed with. “This is going to be some kids’ first show, so it’s magical that I get to be Mary Poppins to them,” she said. “Plus did I mention I get to fly?” The “marathon of a show,” as Ilika called it, has also kept its actors on their toes. “We’re constantly running around,” she said. “If we aren’t on stage singing and dancing we’re being hooked up to harnesses back stage or flying around.” Josh Stilts: 425-453-4290; jstilts@bellevuereporter.com

Accompanied by her equally imaginative tap dancing chimney sweep friend Bert (Greg McCormick Allen), Poppins lands in London to take care of the Banks children, Jane (Mae Corley, 13) and Michael (Jaryn Lasentia, 12), creating wondrous adventures with lessons to learn. When Ilika first heard Village Theatre was going to produce Mary Poppins, she knew it was a role she had to perform … again. “I’ve always loved Mary Poppins,” she said. “I got to play her when I was 7-years-old and I’ve wanted to do it again ever since.” Now a seasoned actor, Ilika said her portrayal is much different from her younger self, and Julie Andrew’s iconic performance in Disney’s Academy Award-winning film. “I adore Julie Andrews, but I’m not her, nor could I be,” Ilika said. “I sing with a much lower register, so hopefully that won’t disappoint any audience members.” McCormick Allen said his portrayal of Bert is equally different from Dick Van Dyke’s, yet his choices to play the character so, weren’t conscious, but the inclusion of some of the darker elements from P.L. Travers’ novel cast a slightly different image of the story.

Eastlake drama prepping for fall show spectacular BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Four weeks into rehearsals, the students of the Eastlake High School drama club are well on their way to presenting their fall show for the 2014-2015 school year. The show, the first for new volunteer director Rick Eames, is called “The Bold, The Young, and the Murdered.” It opens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20. “It’s ‘Clue’ meets ‘Soapdish’,” Eames said. “It’s a soap opera and a murder mystery wrapped up into one big ball.” Chosen by the students, “Murdered” focuses on characters performing on a soap opera which faces cancellation, when someone begins killing people during filming. “I actually picked the show, and I really like it because it is different,” Eastlake

THE SQUAK-ING DEAD
junior and third-year Drama Club member Emma Santos said. “It’s comedic, but there’s also murder in there … there is a lot of jokes the older audience will get, but the younger audience will also like it because it is really funny.” “It’s really different from everything else, and it will be really entertaining to watch,” she said. The drama club has been performing since the school opened in 1994, and is advised by Eastlake High School teacher Rochelle Horner. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $7 for Eastlake students, teachers, and senior citizens. The play will run Nov. 20 and 21 at 7 p.m., and a matinee Nov. 22 at 1 p.m.

Eagles survive against Wolves
In the Redzone
One of my favorite times of the year
Issaquah's Annie Hoffman scores the game-winning goal in the 74th minute
T
BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Issaquah Eagles girls soccer head coach Tom Bunnell knew the Eastlake Wolves would be a formidable opponent despite their fifth-place standing in Class 4A KingCo League action before the two rivals faced off Oct. 16 in Issaquah. The Wolves gave the Eagles all it could handle, but Issaquah (8-1-1) hung on for a crucial 2-1 victory when Annie Hoffman found the back of the net for the gamewinning goal in the 74th minute of play. Issaquah bolted out to a 1-0 lead after Devan Talley's goal in the seventh minute. Eastlake (5-4-2) tied the game at 1-1 on Maddy Kennedy's goal in the 71st minute. Bunnell was glad to see his team rebound considering Eastlake seized control after tying the game with nine minutes left in regulation. "We were just determined to get the goal. Fortunately we got the goal and we needed it," Bunnell said. "It was a huge win for us. Eastlake has been playing really well the last couple of weeks. Their record doesn't give them the credit they deserve. They are truly a quality team." The Eagles faced the Mount Si Wildcats and Skyline Spartans in critical KingCo 4A contests this past week after the Reporter's deadline. Bunnell said the matchups with the Wildcats and Spartans will go a long way in determining playoff positioning. "We have these two massive games that kind of dictate where we are going to end up. We could finish undefeated in league play or by the end of the week we could be in third place," Bunnell said.

Eastlake head coach Chuck Kreible was proud of his team's performance despite the loss. The Eagles, who were ranked as the No. 4 girls soccer team in the Class 4A Division by MaxPreps.com, nearly saw their undefeated record in KingCo League action derailed by the Wolves. "We played very well. I was a babbling fool after the game. I just kept saying well done. Our team just did a splendid job. I couldn't be prouder," Kreible said.
he old adage “Time flies when you’re having fun” couldn’t be more true with regard to my affinity for being the sports reporter with the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter. I was stunned after I looked at my calendar and realized I’ve been on the job for a little more than two months. Time has just flown by. I vividly remember my first few days on the job, sweating profusely under the bright sunshine of sweltering heat of August football and soccer practice sessions. What a difference two months has made courtesy of the Doppler radar across the majority of the Eastside region. I made the mistake of covering a few events this past week in my preferred work attire — consisting of a polo shirt and cargo shorts. It SHAUN didn’t take me long to realize it was a mistake SCOTT as my teeth literally chattered from shivering along the sidelines. I should had known better since late-October traditionally is one of the wettest times of the year in the Pacific Northwest. Since beginning my career as a sports journalist in the fall of 2005, I realized once the rain begins to fall in torrents, I know playoffs and post-season action for the myriad of fall high school sports programs already have begun (depending on the specific sport) or will be taking place in the near future. November, which begins in just eight days, is a time when the majority of state championships are won and lost. There’s a huge number of stalwart athletes and talented teams striving for the pinnacle in their respective endeavors. I can’t wait to see what transpires during post-season action

Sports Roundup What’s happening in the world of sports and recreation
Eastside Catholic's Kvech plays many positions Eastside Catholic Crusaders senior football player Matthew Kvech does a little bit of everything for his team. Kvech, who plays safety, wide receiver, punter and punt/kick returner, has scored two touchdowns this season thus far on punt returns. The Crusaders have won six straight games since losing in the season opener against Bishop Alemany. "It's good to get some momentum going forward especially when we are starting to make our toward the Metro BEYOND THE run League (Mountain Division) Championship," Kvech said. "Our coaches and our players are just doing our jobs. Mission driven is our saying this year. Everyone is on a mission to our jobs and win the game. Everyone is doing well." Kvech said the Crusaders benefit from having signal caller Harley Kirsch at quarterback. Kirsch, who is only a junior, is being recruited by a bevy of different schools. "You don't see a lot of talents like Harley out there," Kvech said. "He is awesome. You can always count on the ball to get to you when it needs to be there. He is so accurate and throws a nice tight spiral." Recently the Issaquah Reporter had an opportunity to ask Kvech a few questions about his life away from the football field.
movie of all time? Matthew Kvech: It is probably "Field of Dreams." I just like the movie. I'm a pretty big baseball fan. IR: Where do you see MATTHEW yourself in five years?

Council deliberates budget BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Sammamish City Council has gotten its first look at a proposed budget for the next two years. The council deliberated on line items well in to the night during their regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 21, at Sammamish City Hall. Councilmembers voted on whether to keep items on the proposed budget or to amend them. Examples which passed include funds for reforestation projects on city property, an additional $500 per month to Puget Sound Energy to purchase energy from green sources, and a $10,000 per year contribution to help pay for an executive director for Lake Sammamish State Park. The final budget proposal will be presented for public comment at the Nov. 4 council meeting. The council also approved an ordinance prohibiting recreational marijuana-related businesses from opening or operating inside city limits. The ordinance passed 6-1, with Councilmember Don Gerend opposed. City officials also presented the list of
approved human services grants for 20152016. In all, the city of Sammamish will give $170,138 in grants to 41 approved applicants, 1.7 percent less than the last grant period. Notable organizations denied funding include Hopelink Emergency Food Bank, Providence Marianwood, Habitat for Humanity, and the Eastern European Counseling Center. The meeting was opened with a flag ceremony conducted by members of Cub Scout Pack 225 of Sammamish, which meets at Creekside Elementary and is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club at Providence Point, Issaquah. The City Council will have its next regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, at Sammamish City Hall. Along with the first reading of the final proposed budget, councilmembers will have first readings for a proposed property tax levy ordinance and a proposed school impact fee ordinance. The council also will consider resolutions over the 2015 fee schedule, salary schedule and medical premium co-pay percentages for city employees.
The Issaquah school board discussed the possible closure of Tiger Mountain Community High School at its meeting Wednesday.

Sammamish volunteer chances plentiful BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The falling leaves and the cool crispness of the morning air are all clear signs that fall is upon the Plateau. With that, the city of Sammamish has several opportunities for volunteers to contribute to beautifying their city’s image. From Oct. 21-25, then again from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, volunteers can join the Washington Trails Association in constructing a new trail system in the Evans Creek Preserve. The system, which also will include turnpikes and puncheon
bridges, will travel through wetlands, open fields and wooded uplands. Volunteer times on all dates run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. From 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 25, the city of Sammamish is looking for volunteers to come out and salvage native plants in the Inglewood Hill area. City officials and developers work to identify development areas where native plants can be salvaged and replanted in restoration projects. Volunteers will have the chance to salvage native plants, trees and shrubs for their own projects. Throughout the season, the city of Sammamish also will need volunteers to replant
Small Business Saturdays to feature trolleys Small businesses in Issaquah will organize for Small Business Saturday on Nov. 29 — the day after Black Friday — to drum up support for local, non-Big Box retailers. This year, the event will run two free trolleys between the city’s retail districts from noon to 8 p.m. The trolleys — not to be confused with Issaquah’s existing rail trolley — will travel at half-hour intervals to bring riders to
Downtown Issaquah, Gilman Village, Blakely Hall, Grand Ridge Plaza and The Shops at Swedish. Downtown and Blakely Hall will feature classes from artEAST and a craft fair, respectively, as well as other activities. Small Business Saturday is being sponsored by the shopping centers, as well as the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, the Highlands Council and The Issaquah Press.
Food drive collects 23,799 pounds of food The recent Mayor’s Month of Concern food drive in Issaquah generated 23,799 pounds of food
for the Issaquah Food and Clothing bank. The effort is a yearly campaign to restock the shelves of Eastside
food banks in preparation for the cold weather. In addition to food, a total of $1,100 was donated.
salvaged native vegetation in several areas across the city. Replanting will take place Nov. 8 in Ebright Creek Park, Nov. 15 and 22 at Sammamish Landing, Dec. 6 in the Lower Commons, and again at Ebright Creek Park on Dec. 13. All planting times begin at 9 a.m. For more information or to register to volunteer, email volunteer@sammamish.us, or call 425-295-0556.

Students helping raise funds for Issaquah schools Hundreds of Issaquah School District high-school students are helping in an all-district telephone canvass on Oct. 28 for the Issaquah Schools Foundation All in for Kids annual fund. The effort began on Oct. 21. The foundation goal is to raise $490,000 in monetary pledges from parents, friends and businesses. Each year, the Issaquah Schools Foundation raises in excess of $1.5 million to fill the gap between funding the state provides for basic education and required resources for a comprehensive education. Student telephoning will take place from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Issaquah School District Administration building at 565 N.W. Holly St. More information is available at www.isfdn.org.

valuable to others, allows you to do something you haven't experienced before, work with all types of people, and make new friends," Sherri said. Volunteering has more than one benefit for the Rotary. As a Microsoft employee, Mark is able to have Microsoft match the hours he volunteers through the Microsoft Volunteer Match program. Under that program, Microsoft will make a monetary donation matching the value of Mark's time to the Sammamish Rotary. "Another positive thing that it taught my girls is that they didn't have to start doing it with all of their friends. The first year, they did it without knowing any people other than their family," Sherri said. "It is an easy, fun way to help the community."

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.
