The city of Sammamish has signed a contract with an Issaquah law firm to help it reduce the number of traffic tickets dismissed in court. The contract, approved by the City Council Tuesday night, retains the law firm of Lynn Moberly to represent the city in traffic cases
argued in Issaquah District Court. According to the text of the bill included in the Dec. 2 council packet, 651 of the 2,605 traffic tickets written by Sammamish police were dismissed in 2013, a 25 percent dismissal rate. That year also was the most active year to date for Sammamish traffic enforcement, with citation issues up about 420 percent from 2012’s

Turkey was on the menu Thanksgiving day, but not before about 3,000 people turned out for the annual Issaquah Turkey Trot. The fun and casual 5K (3.12 miles) run raised about $35,000 for the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. There were no prizes, bibs, time chips or numbers — just a fun outing for the community. Thanksgiving costumes and accessories were encouraged by the organizers. "I love the Turkey Trot," said Cori Walters, executive director of the food and clothing bank. "It is a great community event and a win-win for all." The event has grown in popularity throughout the years, with more and more money raised each year for the food bank. A total of $4,600 was raised in 2010; $8,000 in 2011; $27,000 in 2012 and $35,000 last year.

Issaquah High School was evacuated Friday, Nov. 28, when administrators learned that a posting on a hacker’s website indicated a bomb had been planted at the school and that a student planned to bring weapons to campus. No threats were made to specific individuals at the school. The Issaquah Police Department said it had been contacted by the FBI early Friday morning about the threat. The school already was closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, but some sports and community activities were taking place at the school and were halted and the building evacuated. The incident proved to be a hoax, and the school sent out a note to parents about the situation. According to the information from the school, the threat apparently was made by an Issaquah High School student, but later investigation found that the student was not involved and police later traced the threat to a local business computer that was hacked in early November. The student and his family had cooperated completely with police and immediately turned over all electronic devices. During the investigation, police with bomb-sniffing dogs swept the building and no bomb was found. The building was cleared for clubs and community activities to resume on Saturday. The school was open on regular schedule on Monday.

Council weighs position on property tax cap

Issaquah Primary Care 425.688.5488
Sound Cities Assoc. asks cities to consider cap as it crafts legislative agenda BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Issaquah City Council is weighing the city’s position on the state cap on property tax increases. The discussion, which took place at the Dec. 1 regular meeting, was in preparation for potential city association campaigns to lift the current annual limit on increases. In the 2001 general election, Washington state voters approved an initiative decreasing the allowable change in property taxes levied from 6 percent to 1 percent. Initiative 747 was found to be unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court but the Legislature quickly passed legislation that enacted the same limitations. According to the Sound Cities Association Public Issues Committee’s Nov. 12 agenda, the 1 percent cap has created shortfalls between cities’ revenues and their expenses. Costs for cities rise 3 to 5 percent a year compared with allowable property tax increases, the agenda item read.
Sound Cities Association, which has 35 member cities within King County, is considering four alternative caps to support. Proposed plans are to let the Legislature decide an appropriate new cap, to support a new higher percentage cap, to peg the cap to population growth and inflation, or peg the cap to another unspecified index altogether. In its draft legislative agenda, the Association of Washington Cities likewise supports revisiting the property tax cap. Members of the Issaquah council were torn as to whether supporting an increase on the cap would go against the will of voters in 2001 or provide a common-sense revenue solution for the city. Councilman Paul Winterstein said he was concerned the current cap actually places a larger tax burden on citizens least able to support it. “Sales tax is a regressive tax and we’re relying on it here,” he said. In passing the 2015 budget, the council raised property taxes by 1 percent, raised the business and occupation tax and increased service fees for parks. The Sound Cities Association will further discuss its position on the property tax cap at its Dec. 10 meeting at Renton City Hall. Daniel Nash: 425-391-0363 ext. 5052; dnash@issaquahreporter.com

ecuting attorney for Sammamish, Issaquah, Snoqualmie and North Bend. Moberly was the prosecuting attorney in a 2010 Issaquah case that saw former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill charged with domestic abuse for allegedly hitting his girlfriend. The charges were dismissed on the condition that Hill followed court stipulations for 18 months, including completion of a one-year domestic violence treatment program. Moberly has represented the city of Sammamish as prosecuting attorney in other cases since 2007 for an annual fee of $90,000.

We will now have an attorney present in all cases. After a trial period of about six months, we’ll see if it brings down our dismissal rate.” Sammamish officials are confident that increased revenue from additional traffic convictions would cover the costs of the program.

Dispelling myths about the poor
W
e’ve all heard the old adage “just pull yourself up by your boot straps.” But what if you have no boots? Those living with food insecurity or being unhoused face a similar dilemma. Let’s start with why people are hungry or homeless. Take a minute to think about all of the people you know and all of their different stories. All of those stories are similar to the stories for those who find themselves in the vulnerable situation of being hungry or homeless. There are plenty of myths about hunger and homelessness: People who are homeless are lazy, are men, don’t work, are uneducated, are addicts, are not from Issaquah, are mentally ill and are indifferent about CORI our community. WALTERS In truth, we cannot put anyone in a perfect little box or make assumptions. At the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank the majority of our families utilize our services because of a health crisis, job loss, underemployment, unemployment, the cycle of poverty, fixed incomes and more. At the same time, we’re also there to help individuals who are struggling with addiction and mental health instabilities. We see ourselves as an emergency crisis intervention and stability support agency. We are a stepping stone that provides support to all people no matter where they are in their life and we hope that we can play a

role in increasing self-sufficiency. Many of the people we serve are women and children who are homeless. The Issaquah School District has documented 120 children in unstable housing. A total of 58 percent of the people we serve are our most vulnerable populations: children under age 18 and senior citizens. The majority of the households we serve actually have a least one income (if not two), but their wages just aren’t enough to make ends meet. I’d like to paint a picture of what a typical day on the streets might look like for someone who is homeless. One awakes either in a shelter from a cold restless night or, if lucky, on a friend’s couch. They try to find a place to take a shower, try to figure out a laundry plan, worry about food for the day and struggle to find funds to cover their basic needs. Then they have to figure out where and how they will spend the rest of their day with the constant search for a safe place to sleep later that night. On top of this is the need to carry all of their personal belongings with them, which, among other things, makes it hard to land a job interview. My point? Things are complicated and we shouldn’t make snap judgments or assumptions about people. Like the people you know, everyone has a story to tell. And for some of them, it includes being hungry and homeless. Cori Walters is executive director of the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank.

Sammamish Citizen Corps prepares for emergencies BY REPORTER STAFF
On a snowy Sammamish morning, Jon Bromberg and other members of the Sammamish Citizen Corps' Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT) gathered at locations across the Plateau. Bromberg is a ham radio operator, a slang term for amateur radio operators. He and other members of CERT conducted exercises Nov. 29, to practice the establishment of info hubs across Sammamish in the event of an emergency. "The goal is to provide a very simple communication point along the Sammamish plateau, for people to be able to send and receive information to other people and hubs … via the ham [radio] operators," Barb Clayton, info hub program coordinator, said. "They can also post notes and messages, trying to connect with families, trying to understand when power may come back on or roads may be opened." Each info hub would have a manned ham radio to allow communication at points throughout Sammamish, when other forms of communication may be down or tied up. This most recent exercise was the third since the program was established in 2013. Hubs

"If there were a major ice storm and all of the cellphone towers went out and radio towers started to fail … our radios will operate over long distances where the regular public service radios will not," Bromberg said. "We provide a second level of communication."
Ham radios are not dependent on a lot of external infrastructure, and can be operated anywhere a radio and a power supply can be provided, ranging from a large multi-channel station attached to a generator, to a small hand-held transceiver running off of a battery. Ham radio stations can also allow the transmission and reception of emails and images with the
proper computer equipment. Ham radio operators (called "hams" within the community) are licensed by the Federal Trade Commission following an exam and a fee. Bromberg estimates that there are more than 500 licensed hams on the Sammamish plateau. "If cell phones and Internet are working, we just provide a secondary level of communication. If nothing's working, we can still communicate," Bromberg said. "There's an old saying: 'Even at the end of the world, we'll still have hams.' " While the hubs currently are run by Sammamish CERT volunteers, Clayton is working to have them set up and operated by the community at large. While a ham radio license is required to operate a ham station, volunteers can still host the site, post messages, provide hot meals and beverages, run messages and perform other tasks. As of Nov. 29, four locations around Sammamish are designated as info hubs: Summer Ridge Park on Northeast 25th Street, Ebright Creek Park on 212th Avenue Southeast, the intersection of 244th Street Northeast and Main Street, and Beaver Lake Park on 24th Street Southeast.
LEARN MORE Monthly meetings of the Sammamish Citizen Corps are held on the first Wednesday of every month, beginning at 7 p.m. at Eastside Fire and Rescue Station 82, 1851 228th Ave. N.E. For more information, visit www. sammamishcitizencorps.com, or email info@sammamishcitizencorps.com.
East Lake Sammamish Park is also designated a info hub location, however the park is currently closed from land access due to ongoing construction. Clayton aims to have at least one hub per elementary school boundary, but would like to have many more. "I would really like to have more people involved," she said. "We are trying to reach out to community organizations. … If anyone can help facilitate that, it would be appreciated." Volunteer hub operators would be provided supplies except for a ham radio, however organizers would match hosts with volunteer hams who would supply their own radio equipment.

Lighted boat parade set for Dec. 6 The second annual Lighted Holiday Boat Parade will be held at 5 p.m. Dec. 6 on Lake Sammamish. Best viewing will be from the beach at Lake Sammamish State Park. Last year more than 150 people turned out in spite of record below-freezing temperatures to see the lighted boats, sing carols and enjoy the bonfire and hot chocolate, compliments of Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park. This year the park will once again have holiday lights and candlelit walkways, bigger bonfires, more hot chocolate and more caroling. Organizers hope that warmer weather will also bring more boats to join the
Christmas parade fleet. If Saturday is very rainy, the Holiday Boat Parade will be rescheduled to the same time, Sunday, Dec. 7. Parade boats will start at the state park boat launch at 4 p.m. After visiting the beach crowd and bonfire, boats will proceed clockwise around the lake up the west side to Weowna Point and finish at the boat launch no later than 9 p.m. Those who have a boat and would like to join the parade can contact Jim Mackey at Jim.Mackey@gmail.com.

Open house to unveil plans for playground at state park
WILLIAM SHAW, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Firefighters from the Issaquah and Sammamish area load food donations into bins as part of the Fourth Annual Fill-The-Truck Food and Clothing Drive last weekend.
Firefighters' efforts help needy A shelter on top of a 24-foot moving van became the home of a number of firefighters last weekend as part of the Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund's 4th Annual Fill-The-Truck Food and Clothing Drive. The firefighters pledged to remain on the van until it was filled by donations. The event, in the parking lot of the Issaquah Fred Meyer store at 6100 East Lake Sammamish Pkwy. S.E., raised about 35,000 pounds of food, clothing and toiletries for the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. The moving van was donated by First Due Movers.

Design plans for a new all-accessible playground at Lake Sammamish State Park will be unveiled at 7 p.m. Dec. 9 during an open house at Gibson Hall, 105 Newport Way S.W., Issaquah. The open house is hosted by Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park. Currently there are two playgrounds at the park. They have been called outdated, uninspiring and not up to current standards for safety or accessibility by the Friends. The new playground, not yet funded, will be accessible for all ages and abilities. Early estimates are that up to $700,000 will be needed for the playground and the necessary site work. The playground design includes challenging play structures focused on climbing, water elements, a zip line, and some environmental education components. A giant heron, representing the park’s wellknown heron rookery, is being designed to trigger a spray of water when children walk by. Picnic tables and benches will be included. The new playground will be closer to the bathhouse currently under construction and will add to landscaping and walkways designed to further redevelopment of the
main beach at the state park. In addition to the bathhouse, new sand is planned for Sunset Beach, and a sand box for children will be built along with new volleyball pits. The park also has received funding for docks at Sunset Beach that could be used for fishing and boating. “We hope the playground will be the best in King County, if not the state,” said Debbie Berto, board member of Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park. “It will be a true destination for families.” The playground design work was paid for by a $20,000 grant from the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah.

Sports Roundup
What’s happening in the world of sports and recreation COURTESY PHOTO, Don Borin/Stop Action Photography
University of Washington freshman Mackenzie Wieburg recovers after a defensive play. athletics has to offer. The 5-foot, 9-inch guard is part of a PAC-12 program that has put together an early season record of 6-1 in non-conference play. The Huskies recently returned from a trip to Cancun, Mexico where they registered victories against Florida State, Hartford and Furman over Thanksgiving
weekend. Fans wishing to see Wieburg in action will get a chance in the near future as the Huskies host Grambling State University in their next home game at noon on Dec. 10 in Seattle. It remains to be seen if Wieburg will get playing time or not, but I’m sure there will be a large contingent
of fans from the Issaquah/ Sammamish region in the stands supporting their hometown hero. Not many high school athletes have the chance to play college basketballlet alone at the Division-1 level. The future is bright for this rising start as Wieburg’s collegiate career is just getting off the ground.
FOOTBALL Crusaders clinch championship berth
The Eastside Catholic Crusaders winning streak continues on the gridiron. The Crusaders, who have won 12 games in a row since its loss in the season opener in the first week of September, defeated Mount Spokane 42-24 in the Class 3A semifinals on Nov. 29 at Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane. Eastside Catholic (12-1) will face the Bellevue Wolverines (13-0) in the Class 3A state championship game at 7:30 p.m. today at the Tacoma Dome.
Hometown hero lands coaching position at alma mater BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
For the first time in her life Stephanie Fox will be calling all the shots in a varsity coaching capacity in the dugout.
Fox, who was a star softball player at Eastlake High School from 2006 through 2008, recently landed the Eastlake Wolves softball head coach position. Fox played collegiate softball for Western Washington University from 2009
Learn things. Things people will pay you for.
through 2012. The 24-year-old Fox was a volunteer assistant coach for the Wolves in 2014 and was an assistant coach at Lake Washington High School in 2013. “I knew when I graduated from Western that I wanted to stay in the game. Coaching gave me an opportunity to do that. I have two years of coaching under my belt and am just really excited about the opportunity,” Fox said. “I have a dream of where this team is going and I know quite a few of the girls from last year’s team. They are an amazing group and definitely have a lot going for them. I’m very passionate about
the game and I’m definitely going to push them.” Fox looks at her age, 24, as an advantage coaching at the high school level. “My job as a coach is to be a passionate leader and mentor. I have been where they are at right now (high school softball player) before. I know the game and have respect for the game. We’re going to be a disciplined team that plays with high energy,” she said. Fox, who is currently pursuing a master’s degree in youth mental health at Argosy University, said helping the youth of the community is her passion. “I want to work in schools so coaching is the perfect fit for me. It’s a dream come true,” Fox said.

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.
