Sixth grader raises $7,500 Barber wants in on BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A Pine Lake Middle School sixth grader raised big money for foster care support nonprofit Treehouse this spring. The Reporter last wrote about Noah Searles on March 25, when he set a goal to raise $1,000 in cash and clothing for Treehouse over the course of a month — and hit nearly $1,500 in one week. He quickly raised his goal to $5,000. Searles recently completed his donation campaign, bringing in $7,545 in money and clothes

from solicitation outside of stores, online donations and clothing. About $6,000 of his donations were in cash. “I want to thank everybody ... that supported, and helped me raise $7,545 and approximately $1,500 in clothing donations for Treehouse, an organization that helps foster families,” Searles wrote the Reporter. Searles collected donations outside of Fred Meyer stores in Issaquah and Redmond, the Nordstrom Rack in Factoria and Safeway on the Sammamish Plateau.

regional fire authority BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Issaquah City Council is preparing to discuss potential goals to set for its June 6 retreat and Councilmember Eileen Barber wants the city to consider joining discussions with King County Fire Protection Districts 10 and 38 to form a regional fire authority. The city of Issaquah is currently served by Eastside Fire & Rescue

and would continue to be served by that agency under a Regional Fire Protection Service Authority. But Issaquah is one of many local government service customers handled by Eastside Fire & Rescue — including Carnation, May Valley, North Bend, Preston, Tiger Mountain, Sammamish and Wilderness Rim — several of which are dealt with separately in setting SEE GOALS, 3

up fire service, an arrangement that can result in overall inefficiencies in service. Regional Fire Service Protection Authorities are special purpose districts, effectively their own mini-government with independent taxing authority and an ability to set best service procedures for the entire area covered by the authority. Fire authorities were a mechanism authorized by the state legislature in 2004. King County Fire Districts 10 and 38 are already in the process of forming a planning committee for such an authority. The planning committee will craft the idea

of the authority before it’s presented for a public vote. Barber cited the needed replacement of Station 71, next to Issaquah’s main City Hall building, as a selling point of joining onto the committee. “If we were members of an RFA the location would be determined by the best benefit to EF&R not by city boundries [sic],” Barber wrote in her goal proposal. In its response, city staff noted that Districts 10 and 38 are working to put the Authority before voters in November, abbreviating the timeline enough that the city would most likely need to be an observer of the districts’ negotiations rather than a participant. The city would need to explore the tax consequences and governance issues

for its own citizens and government before becoming a participant, the response read. City Manager Bob Harrison noted that he had seen a recent presentation at a recent meeting of King County managers and administrators about cities that had created fire authorities within their own boundaries as a funding mechanism for fire services. “That’s a little beyond the scope of the goal but if the goal was to consider if an RFA is an effective and appropriate means to provide service … it may be one option to consider,” Harrison said. Barber’s goal was one of 11 discussed by the city council at their work session Monday night. Others include neighborhood enhancement; better public engagement (citizen participation was found to be low in a recent citizen survey); better

coordination with schools for facility siting; investments in emergency management and disaster preparedness; greater funding for the Complete Streets program; setting a city focus on “green” building innovations; administration of a transportation survey; the setting of a regional agenda; and development of a plan to raise funds and pay for the transportation concurrency update passed in January. Councilmember Joshua Schaer submitted the most goals, with five proposals. Nina Milligan submitted two, Paul Winterstein and Stacy Goodman combined forces for two proposals and Tola Marts and Mary Lou Pauly submitted one.

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

After a four-year break, former mayor and two-term councilmember Mark Cross said he’s ready to rejoin the Sammamish City Council. He filed for position No. 2 Monday. Incumbent councilmember Nancy Whitten said last week that she will not seek re-election. Sammamish resident Christie Malchow announced in April her intent to run; she filed for position MARK No. 2, also. CROSS Cross did not seek re-election in 2011, in order to focus on the new position he took with the city of Bellevue and to spend time with his family.

He was first elected to city council in 2004, and focused initially on the East Lake Sammamish Trail, partnering with the school districts to open the sports fields and opening Ebright Creek Park. He said he’s ready to get back to city hall, as his experience as an urban planner would benefit the issues expected to come before the council in 2016. “With growth happening how it is,” he said, “a lot of the things that bring people to Sammamish are at threat.” Since 1987, Cross has lived in Sammamish with his wife and children, now grown. Incumbents Mayor Tom Vance, position No. 6, and councilmember Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo, position No. 4, have both filed. As of press Wednesday afternoon two people have filed to run against Vance: Tom Hornish and Arul Menezes. No one else has filed for position No. 4. Filing ends Friday at 4:30 p.m.

Used bicyles, parts bound for Africa More than 300 bikes collected, sent to Ghana BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

5-year-old Tony Santerelli loosens the brakes on a bicycle to be shipped to Ghana, Africa, while his mother, Amie (left), looks on at the ARAS bike drive in Sammamish Saturday.

Even at 5 years old, Sammamish resident Tony Santerelli understands the importance of donating bicycles to people living in Africa. “They might not have cars,” he said, sporting a dinosaur helmet with a mohawk, while determinedly loosening bicycle brakes Saturday. Santerelli, along with his mother and sister, helped gather 326 donated bikes during the 10th annual ARAS Foundation African Bike Project held on the Sammamish City Hall Plaza from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 9. They were among nearly 40 volunteers who helped prepare bikes for the long boat ride to Ghana, Africa, where they will serve as a sustainable mode of transportation for the locals. For millions of Africans, biking and walking is the only form of transportation available — but bicycles are in short supply. Santerelli has been helping with the drive since he was 2 ½ years old.

Warm, polluted water threatens region’s salmon stocks

ffects of climate change and the ongoing loss of salmon habitat came home to roost at this year’s tribal and state salmon fishing season setting process. The result was some of the most restrictive salmon fisheries ever seen in some areas. A record low snowpack, low stream flows and increasing water temperatures, combined with the results of ongoing habitat loss and declining marine survival, forced the co-managers to sharply cut harvest this year to protect both hatchery and naturally spawning chinook stocks. The co-managers set seasons based on the need to conserve the weakest salmon stocks. The goal is to protect the weakest stocks while also providing limited harvest on healthy stocks which are mostly hatchery fish. Last year’s salmon runs throughout Puget Sound returned far below expectations. Those fish that returned faced low stream flows that led to water temperatures soaring to 75 degrees or more in some places. Water temperatures 70 degrees or higher can be lethal to salmon. Last year many adult salmon — both hatchery and wild — died before they could spawn or reach a hatchery. This year’s returns of hatchery and wild salmon are expected to be about 30 percent lower across the board than last year’s poor returns. Lake Washington chinook provide a good example of why this year’s fishing seasons needed to be more restrictive. Hatchery and wild salmon returning to Lake Washington must pass through the most urbanized parts of Western Washington where they are confronted by polluted stormwater runoff, barriers and low stream flows. When combined with the effects of elevated stream temperatures, the results can be deadly for salmon. The Muckleshoot Tribe, which tracks salmon migration SEE GUEST EDITORIAL, 18

Many speak against Energize Eastside

It was an impressive showing of about 200 people speaking against the Eastside Energy (PSE)’s project proposals to build high-powered energy lines above our neighborhoods from Redmond and Kirkland to Renton. This project proposes to answer future energy. Those speaking tonight questioned the accuracy of the study for energy needs, safety issues, such as building near gas lines, and hidden costs to citizens from accidents, taxes used to send electricity to Canada, and home devaluation, from pole and wire eyesore to loss of our beautiful Bellevue trees and wildlife in our neighborhoods (currently happening in south Bellevue as stated in past Bellevue Reporter letters). It was great to have the EIS meetings for citizens to speak out; it just seems it should have come a little sooner as there was great expertise tonight. I do hope the resounding comments tonight are heard by all city council members effected by this proposal. We need to see more data and not just go ahead with a possible unneeded project that could cost citizens money and safety in the long

wrong. Thank you to all who spoke and for those who donated to the cense project. I think we all will be keeping an eye on this project. For more information, contact PSE for their eye view and look at the CENSE.org website.

PSE analysis for more transmission capacity is ‘incomplete’ PSE’s studies that show a need for Energize Eastside assume that no local generation plants are operating during an infrequent arctic winter event. This is an unrealistic assumption, because many of those generators were acquired by the company to serve exactly this scenario. The report by the Independent Technical Analyst studied a scenario where about half the generators were turned on, and it found that the need for Energize Eastside was reduced, SEE LETTERS, 6

Preliminary design for Sahalee corridor to begin BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

In keeping with the city of Sammamish’s six-year transportation improvement plan, the initial design contract for the Sahalee Way widening project was awarded last week. The Sammamish City Council approved May 5 the use of $110,000 for a preliminary design contract with the engineering consulting company, Perteet, Inc. The contract amount council authorized is $20,000 more than originally proposed, to accommodate the council’s additional inquiries regarding lane configuration, transit pullouts and possible traffic chokeholds.

“I don’t think I’m going to sign a contract for $110,000,” City Manager Ben Yazici told councilmembers. “I just need that flexibility (to work with the contractors).” This is the first stage of the estimated $16.6 million, three-lane configuration widening project along Sahalee Way Northeast from Northeast 25th Way North to State Route 202, which includes a portion of unincorporated King County. The county does not have money to address the stretch of road north of Northeast 37th Way, putting the monetary burden on the city of Sammamish. Councilmember Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo fears the project costs will slip beyond

but not eliminated. We would like a study that shows what happens when all the generators are turned on. This is the normal way to conduct such a study, so we're not asking for anything unusual. PSE’s studies also assume a huge amount of power is being transmitted to Canada. Canada doesn't need this power, and could be compensated in other ways. Bellevue's analyst studied what would happen if no electricity was flowing to Canada during these emergencies, and concluded that 80 percent of the system overloads would disappear. We ask ColumbiaGrid to explain why PSE’s customers are exclusively responsible for paying for Canada's electrical service. Finally, we remind PSE and ColumbiaGrid that they are required to plan the grid as if it belonged to one utility. There is already an under-utilized 230 kV transmission line through the Eastside. ColumbiaGrid identified it as the best choice to serve Canadian electricity. However, this

estimates, referring to unforeseen issues and associated costs with repairs to 212th Way, affectionately referred to as Snake Hill road. “That $16.6 million, I think, is way underfunded,” he said. The primary design report is expected to take another look at costs, including an estimate for a five-lane configuration. All lane configuration plans will include sidewalks, bike lanes on either side of the road and a center turn lane or island, where needed, according to city documents. Extending repairs to the State Route 202 intersection is necessary, Yazici said, because this is one of the key entrances to the city. “Fixing part of the road is never a good

option was inexplicably taken ssoff the table when PSE said they wanted to build a second 230 kV transmission line, parallel to the first one, about a mile to the east. This is not something a single utility could justify, and therefore it is not allowable under current regulations. The letter gives PSE until May 22 to respond. If the deadline is not met, or the response is not reasonable, further actions are planned that will become increasingly uncomfortable for PSE.

Energize project needs independent load forecast for Eastside

The “independent” analysis of PSE’s Energize Eastside (EE) Project, performed by the City of Bellevue’s consultant, U. S. E., was disappointing in that it did not include a new independent load forecast for the Eastside. What the consultant did was a review of the work PSE had done and found it to be reasonable. However, important information was presented in the report about the location of the load growth driving the need for the EE Project. It should be to no one’s surprise that this growth is the commercial load located primarily in downtown Bellevue and in the Bel-Red Corridor. But the area with the growth is NOT the area that will be impacted if the EE project as now planned is built. This begs the question as to how the downtown load will

solution, if the whole thing needs fixing,” Councilmember Tom Odell said. While Odell wants to see the length of the road repaired, he does not want to lose the corridor’s natural character and beauty to functionality. “I don’t want to make this to look like just another city street,” Odell said. Councilmember Nancy Whitten echoed these concerns. Yazici said there are some “competing priorities,” like including bus pullouts along the street. “There’s always drawbacks,” he said. “Those non-motorized connections on the main arterials, they are important. They are important not only for transit needs, a lot of people are using the transit, but also the SEE SAHALEE, 10

be supplied from the EE Project. I have not seen any PSE plans for delivering power from the EE Project to the load in downtown Bellevue. Perhaps the downtown load can be served more directly from the Sammamish and Talbot Hill Substations, preferably underground, as an alternative to building a 230 kV line through areas not providing the load growth driving the need for the line. Such an alternative should be addressed in the EE Project EIS that is just being scoped.

In May, honoring older Americans The Washington State Council on Aging is asking you to join us, and Gov. Jay Inslee, in honoring Older Americans during the month of May. Since 1963, the month of May has been historically designated to recognize the contributions of Older Americans. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Get into the Act,” to focus on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communities, and making a positive impact in the lives of others. This theme also reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Older Americans Act into law in July, 1965. Since that time, the Act has provided a nationwide aging services network and funding that helps older adults live with dignity in the communities of their choice for as long as possible. Older Americans Month offers an opportunity to emphasize how older adults can access the home- and communitybased services they need to live independently in their communities. It is also an occasion to highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a difference in those communities. Governor Inslee has issued a proclamation acknowledging Older Americans Month. Let’s join him across the state in celebrating our elders. Dr. Cheryl Townsend Winter Vice Chair, Washington State Council on Aging All Natural and Fresh, Baked From Scratch 1305422

Anti-drug PSA nets $1K

BY DANIEL NASH

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Last month, a Skyline High School senior took home the top prize in an Issaquah Drug Free Community Coalition competition to create an anti-drug public service announcement. After entering into a UW video contest for climate change, he’s setting his sights on film school, a job in videography and a career in filmmaking. Trevor Thacker-Beach took home $1,000 on April 1 for the best overall entry in the Coalition’s Influence The Choice contest. He was joined by nine other Issaquah School District students who placed in three categories — alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs — netting prizes between $75 and $150. In all, 260 students submitted 100 videos to the project. “Life Is Beautiful,” Thacker-Beach’s entry, depicts images of nature, sport and human connection as representative of life’s alternatives to drug abuse. The montage is interrupted midway when a character stops his narration to ask him if he wants to get high. He refuses, asserting that 93 percent of high school students do not abuse illegal drugs (The percentage of high school students who abuse and do not abuse illegal drugs varies from study to study, as many rely on self-reporting, but the video’s percentage mirrors a 28-year finding by the University of Michigan Ann Arbor’s Institute for Social Research, which monitored the percentage of 12th graders who disapprove of regular use of illicit drugs). This was the third year the Issaquah Drug Free Community Coalition held its Influence The Choice contest. Thacker-Beach watched entries from the prior two years to figure out which ideas were most effective. “I thought about what judges would want

to see on screen and … what would most positively impact somebody who is hopeless on drugs or alcohol to get out of their slump,” he said. He wrote the script, eventually making the ending longer and more detailed on his girlfriend’s advice. “Life Is Beautiful” was shot and edited over the course of three days on Thacker-Beach’s own camera, using his family, himself and his girlfriend as actors. Most prominently featured is his sister Autumn, playing the drug pusher in a scene that proved particularly technically difficult to shoot. “I wanted to film it when it was dark to create a particular mood but that creates problems with lighting,” Thacker-Beach said. “Since my camera is horrible in low light, I had to get creative and bring in lamps, extra house bulbs, etc. to make that scene work. I still wasn’t in love with the look I got but it’s something I learned from and will know what to do better for next time.” Thacker-Beach has already reinvested his prize money into a camera crane, shoulder mount and other accessories to accomplish more varied shots in future projects. After graduating in June, he plans to find a full-time job as a videographer while working toward a bachelors in filmmaking and production from the Seattle Film Institute. “My ending goal is to direct a feature length film,” he said. The Rotary Clubs of Issaquah and Sammamish, as well as the Sammamish Kiwanis Club, donated the prize money for the Influence The Choice contest.

Since 2009, the Government Finance Officers Association has awarded the City of Sammamish with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The city's 2013 comprehensive annual financial report, was the latest to win. As it's time for the state auditors to review the 2014 report, Sammamish Finance Director Joe Guinasso hopes it will also recieve the GFOA recognition. Reports that win cities this award go into great detail, so the average person can read through the city's budget and understand it. "It's going above and beyond of what the requirements are," Guinasso said. Without the extra notations and financial breakdowns, Guinasso said financial reports are difficult to read. The GFOA award is another way to keep the city accountable to its citizens. The association's mission is to enhance and promote the professional management of governmental financial resources. Headquartered in Chicago with offices in Washington, D.C., the association was founded in 1906 to represent finance officials throughout the United States and Canada.

Council to discuss initiave, referendum advisory vote The Sammamish City Council is expected to discuss the initiative and referendum advisory vote at the Committee of the Whole study session Monday (May 18) in Sammamish City Hall off of 228th Avenue Southeast at 6:30 p.m. The advisory vote garnered 55 percent approval in the April 28 special election. The vote was meant to gauge how many residents want local initiative and referendum powers, which would give citizens limited power over some types of legislation. It is up to the council, now, to decide what to do with that input.

Big Rock Park to have natural playscapes, children’s zip line Sammamish plans to break ground in July, open in fall BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish Parks and Recreation Department is readying to begin work on Big Rock Park this summer. The city plans to install 18 parking stalls, a new entrance, natural playscapes, an accessible meadow trail system and boardwalk, with a total budget of $545,000. The park, mostly wetlands and forested area, will be developed to emphasize its natural beauty. Eventually the city hopes to connect Big Rock Park to the Lower Commons with a trail.

coordinator Elby Jones, were out Saturday walking the site. “This is going to be amazing,” trail steward and lesion on the parks and recreation commission Nicky Beaty said. “I can’t wait for them to break ground.” Play structures will include a giant nest to be created in the fall as part of a project with the arts commission; earth-mound tunnels for children to crawl through; an ADA, children’s zip line; and an embankment slide. A berm will be constructed close to the entrance of the park, which will overlook the area — a great spot for parents to watch their children play. “For parents, you can literally come in and turn your kids loose ... and will be able to see what’s going on” Parks Director Jessi Bon said during the April 21 council meeting. The parks department will remove four trees to make room for parking; more than 20 trees will be planted within the park. The city created an 18-week internship program to accommodate the Redmond Tesla STEM High School’s desire to develop and implement a plan to restore an existing stream corridor; acquire an electric vehicle charging station and solar panels; to create an environmental education program for elementary school students that will focus on the ecosystem; and to develop signage. This is part of a broader effort to involve the community in the enhancement of its park, said Kellye Hilde, parks project manager. The city received 40 applicants from the STEM school and chose 10.

Sammamish Volunteer Coordinator Elby Jones, center, leads trail stewards during a meeting at Big Rock Park Saturday. Trail stewards are community members who have trained with the Washington Trails Association, a volunteer group dedicated to trail work throughout the state. The internship began in February and focused on the design process. One week in October has been set aside to install native plants. “The community benefits from the hard work of these really bright students, and they get to put a very impressive item on their resume as they prepare for college,” Hilde said in a press release. The 51-acre park was donated to the city in 2011 and will open to the public in three phases. The first site, off of Southeast 8th Street, spans across 15.9 acres and was the first portion of the park to open, in 2011. The city’s

development plans will take place on this parcel. The second site, 20.41 acres, and the last site, where the private resident Mary Pigott currently resides, will be transferred to the city in the future. Pigott, the landowner who is donating the area to the city, developed some trails and installed some signs along the path for her grandchildren. The parks department plans to start work in July and hopes to open the park in midOctober. Megan Campbell: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com

BUDGET

prudent financial decisions the city council has made over the years. He also credits the city manager for creating a culture where staff continuously work to safeguard the citizens’ assets and spend the public’s money wisely, as well as former finance director Lyman Howard’s work in creating the systems and policies used today. Quite often the city of Sammamish is praised for its financial responsibility. It has maintained its property tax rate for the last seven years, has a AAA bond rating and has essentially no debt, City Manager Ben Yazici said. The actual ending fund 2014 balance was $78.14 million, roughly $33 million more than budgeted. The difference includes the $1.5 million in unbudgeted revenue, a $12

and $1.55 million more in unexpected earnings collected through revenues like the real estate excise tax. In total, Sammamish saw $19 million in savings, but nearly $5 million reserved for projects not completed in 2014 will carry forward to the current budget. For example, $2.26 million is earmarked for the Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center. “It’s not that we’re really bad estimators,” Guinasso said Tuesday. “We try to budget very conservatively.” He said these savings and the increase in revenue speaks to the conservative and

million increase adjustment to the 2015 beginning balance and the $19 million in savings, including the carry forward fees. Accounting for the carry forward funds, the general fund retained about $6 million. Part of these savings went toward the $6.1 Mars Hill Church purchase the council authorized in March. Other savings included $2 million earmarked to create the city’s own fire department, in the event the city discontinued its interlocal agreement with Eastside Fire & Rescue. In 2013, the city had been in contract negotiations with Eastside, seeking a revised pay structure, which eventually won out. There was also $3 million in contingency funds retained through the general government capital improvement project fund. “Sammamish is lucky,” Guinasso said. “We’re in really good financial shape that we can set aside $3 million or $2 million.” For the 2015-2016 biennium, $10.4 million has been budgeted within the catch-all contingency fund. This fund rolls over and sits in case of emergencies. The city saved about half, $12 million, of the allotted capital improvement project funds; the $3.6 million retained in the general government CIP fund is available in 2015 for infrastructure improvements related to the development of the Town Center.

Sales and use taxes garnered 20 percent more income than expected in 2014, adding to the city’s increase in revenues. “We’ve had a real robust construction year,” Guinasso said. “That’s really the big chunk there.” About 30 percent of the city’s sales tax revenues are derived from construction projects. The largest revenue increase seen in 2014 was an overflow of $1.2 million from the real estate excise tax, collected when a property owner sells land. While Guinasso said real estate transactions have relatively leveled out, revenues have leveled out at a high number, usually in the neighborhood of $3.5 to $4 million. These revenues, he said, are reflective of the property development occurring throughout the city. “You notice that when you drive through here,” he said. “Every year there seems to be a big commercial property or real easter property that pops up.” The city expects this trend to continue and has budgeted $3.5 million for the real estate excise tax in 2015. By the end of 2016, the city expects a $35.94 million ending fund balance.

Report to the Community May 2015

Cascade Water Alliance provides safe, clean and reliable water to its members through partnerships ensuring water for today. But it is also creating a lasting legacy by continuing a lean, nimble governance model of regional collaboration, leadership and effective, efficient public resource management. And we are enhancing our future regional water source Lake Tapps in east Pierce County for eventual water use. This year Cascade repaired the 100 plus year old system so it will be ready for future use. We’ve fixed the barrier dam and replaced the headgates and 2,300 feet of timber flume with a new concrete flume. We’ve repaired the conveyance system that runs from the White River to the reservoir and back to the river and we are now refilling the reservoir. Why? Because although we don’t need that water now planning for future infrastructure takes years to design and build. The result of these projects will be a more reliable and predictable system for decades into the future. When you turn on the tap, you will have water today… and tomorrow.

Cascade replaced a crumbling flume with a new cement one to get water to Lake Tapps.

Using Water Wisely

WWW.ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Rainwater catchment takes advantage of our plentiful rainfall and can be used for watering plants or for flushing toilets, saving thousands of gallons of valuable drinking water per year for better uses.

Wise water use today means we can delay future infrastructure development by using every drop of water available in the region before developing new sources. Cascade and its members in 2014 did just that—they saved approximately 65 million gallons of water, 1.8 million kilowatt hours of energy and avoided one million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

Front loading clothes washers with the Energy Star label not only save huge amounts of water and energy, but they clean your clothes better with much less wear and tear on the fabrics. It’s still important to run only full loads.

A WaterSense certified toilet uses a little more than one gallon per flush, but gets the job done.

Cascade’s program strives to lower regional water demand, particularly in summer, or peak season, so that Cascade can delay or defer development of the White River / Lake Tapps Project or other sources of new water supply. Cascade offered 30 Cascade Gardener classes that drew more than 725 attendees, provided 423 water education programs to 10,509 students at local schools, trained local schools, parks district staffs, builders, retailers and even horticulture students about wise water use. We educated our residents at local fairs and events, and provided free water saving items.

The flapper valve inside the toilet tank eventually wears out and will allow leakage. It’s important to check for leaks at least once each year. You can drop a leak detection tablet (available free from Cascade) into the toilet tank or use a few drops of food coloring. Wait ten minutes without flushing and if you see color in the bowl, the flapper is leaking and should be replaced.

Cascade and its members’ goal is a cumulative savings of 0.6 million gallons per day on an annual basis and 1.0 mg per day on a peak season basis by 2020. We’re well on our way to exceeding that goal. Working together to fix toilet leaks, use water efficient appliances in kitchens and bathrooms and improving your irrigation systems really does make a difference. Here’s how...

An Energy Star certified dishwasher may only use a few gallons per cycle. It’s still important to run only full loads.

Page 13

WaterSense certified faucets provide plenty of flow for washing hands or brushing your teeth, but save thousands of gallons per year compared to older faucets.

A WaterSense showerhead has been tested and certified for performance as well as efficiency. WaterSense showerheads provide plenty of flow, but still keep your water use low.

Using Water Wisely

A WaterSense certified toilet uses a little more than one gallon per flush, but gets the job done.

An Energy Star certified dishwasher may only use a few gallons per cycle. It’s still important to run only full loads.

A two-run deficit in the second inning didn’t effect the psyche of the Issaquah Eagles softball team against its biggest rival. Skyline freshman Nadia Ramirez blasted a two-run homer to left field in the top of the second, giving Skyline a 2-0 lead. The Eagles responded with four runs in the bottom of the second and never looked back in a convincing 15-4 win in just five innings on May 11 at Issaquah High School. The Eagles (15-3) ended the game when Sydney Schultz connected on a three-run home-run in the bottom of the fifth. The game concluded after Schultz’s blast because of the 10-run rule. “I hadn’t been hitting the ball very well the past couple of games. I’m glad I finally squared one up,” Schultz said. “It felt pretty good. It happened to be really timely.” Eagles’ head coach Ron Hatlen said his team’s bats usually heat up the second time they’ve been through the lineup. “All year long its been the third, fourth, fifth and sixth inning where we get our runs,” Hatlen said. “Sometimes it just takes a little bit of time. It seems like we have to get down a little bit before we decide to get it going. We never give up and that is the kind of team we have been all year long.”

Issaquah pitcher Winter Ridgeway went the distance, allowing nine hits and four runs in five innings in the pitching circle. Ridgeway said the Eagles never panic when facing an early game deficit. “We know the game isn’t over until its over. Even though they got up with a home-run, we know we’re going to start hitting the ball and keep ourselves in the game,” she said. “We always keep a positive mentality and play every game the same exact way.” Hatlen said the Eagles have adopted Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s mentality of going 1-0 in every game whenever they take the field. “We went 1-0 today and that’s it,” Hatlen said. “We’re back to 0-0 in our next game. We’re really focused on playing at a championship level no matter who we are playing. That is how we play. We put pressure on other teams and we can hit the ball 1 through 9 (lineup).” Schultz said the Eagles softball program is back on the rise. “We haven’t had a winning record like this in a long time. It’s really great to give Issaquah that softball reputation like we used to have once again,” Schultz said. “This is a really big season for us. We haven’t had team chemistry like this in awhile. We’re really excited about the playoffs.”

Dimlow delivers on the hill for Crusaders

BY SHAUN SCOTT

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Most aces on high school pitching staffs are proverbial high velocity throwers. The No. 1 starter for the majority of dominant high school programs possess pitchers who can throw in the upper 80s on a consistent basis. Eastside Catholic ace Billy Dimlow bucks that trend and has proved it with a performance of the ages during the 2015 on the diamond. Dimlow, who thrives throwing off-speed pitches, has put together an undefeated record of 8-0 as a starter this year. The Crusaders finished the 2015 regular season with an overall record of 18-2 and are the No. 1 seed from the Metro League in the postseason. The Crusaders defeated Roosevelt 5-0 in the first round of the Metro League playoffs on May 9. Crusaders’ head coach Kyle Larsen said Dimlow has played a pivotal factor in his team’s success. “Billy has thrown about as good as you can throw.

He has kept us in games. When we needed him to step up and pick us up he has done it,” Larsen said. “He’s done a lot of big things for us this year.” Dimlow said his wide assortment of breaking balls is what keeps hitters off-balanced and frustrated. “I’m not a super hard throwing guy and I couldn’t tell you an exact number,” he said. “I like to think my curveball is my best pitch. It’s a pitch I can rely on and get batters to swing and miss at consistently. This season I have been relying on a lot of off-speed pitches.” Larsen said the chemistry between Dimlow and catcher Griffin Mueller has been evident since March. “Billy has gotten a lot better this year at knowing hitters and throwing the correct pitches. A lot of that credit goes to his catcher Griffin. They have been working together really well this year,” Larsen said. Dimlow said Mueller is a mastermind behind the plate. “We are on the same wavelength. I barely shake him off because he is so

great at calling pitches. I can count on him in any situation to call the right pitch,” Dimlow said of Mueller. “It’s almost at the point now where he knows me better than I know me. He’s been calling great pitches all season and is an unbelievable catcher. I couldn’t have done anything I did this year without him.” Dimlow, who will continue his baseball career at NCAA Division III Emory University in Atlanta next season, said hoisting a state championship trophy this May is the ultimate goal for the Eastside Catholic baseball program in late May. “The Metro championship would be cool but the real prize is the state championship. We want to win it all,” he said. Larsen wants his team to stay consistent during the playoff run. “Like I told these guys, we’ve had a great season. We just got to keep it up. We don’t have to change anything or do anything crazy. We just got to keep playing our game, not press, understand what we can do and go out and do it.”

Eastside Catholic Crusaders ace pitcher Billy Dimlow has compiled an overall record of 8-0 this season on the mound thus far. Dimlow picked up his eighth win of the 2015 season in the first round of the Class 3A Metro tournament courtesy of a 5-0 win against Roosevelt High School on May 9. Dimlow pitched all seven innings, allowing no runs while scattering nine hits in the postseason opener. He struck out nine Roosevelt batters in the contest.

SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

capabilities of many smartwatches (from Jawbone, Fitbit and Microsoft, for example) are a good indication of a direction that cell phones can’t easily duplicate, although you’ll still need your smartwatch paired to your smartphone. (“Paired” is the tech term for the wireless connection between a computer/computerized device and another device via Bluetooth wireless technology.) On your wrist, some devices are measuring heart monitoring, and/or providing running metrics, exercise monitoring (calories burned, etc.), workout guides, and even fully developed health plans. Moreover, updated software and lots of apps are coming. One can only guess at the developments in entertainment, productivity, science, security: stuff we haven’t even thought of. Bottom line: These are all firstgeneration devices no matter how slick they look, or how good is their marketing. All have a steep learning curve. Is it the Next Big Thing? Is it strictly for tech-oriented people who love buying this stuff? Is the smartwatch the next candidate for The Fad Hall Of Fame, achieving the status of hula hoops and Chia plants? I dunno. But after wearing one for a few weeks, I think they’re really onto something.

into the lake through the Ballard Locks, quickly realized the extent of last year’s low returns and took action to protect the remaining fish. The tribe sharply reduced or eliminated planned harvests, including culturally important ceremonial and subsistence fisheries. But by then most of the damage had already been done. Despite tribal sacrifices, Lake Washington wild chinook populations were further diminished and hatchery egg-take goals were unmet. Given last year’s poor returns and the increased effects of climate change and habitat loss, the tribes were stunned when the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife — apparently at the prodding of sport fishermen — proposed even higher chinook sport harvest this year. Their proposal included a mid-Puget Sound fishery targeting chinook in an area where the weak Lake Washington run congregates. But the tribes rejected the proposed harvest increases and the fisheries were withdrawn, leading to howls of protest from some anglers. The package of fisheries developed by the co-managers for 2015 reflects the reality of lower abundance and reduced fishing opportunity for everyone. Good salmon management requires us to balance the needs of the resource against the desire by some to catch more fish every year. That is why we must have strong leadership to make the tough decisions needed to protect the resource. The treaty tribes believe that salmon must be managed in the best interest of those who will follow seven generations from now. We will not allow tomorrow’s salmon to be sacrificed for today’s harvest.

Ask Senator Mark Mullet... ?

Why did he vote to increase class sizes in Issaquah schools?* Sen. Mullet voted for a bill that overrides the voter-approved initiative to reduce class sizes in grades 4-12 and in high-needs schools. As a result, those students will continue to be packed into some of the largest class sizes in the country.

Why did he vote to support controversial high-stakes testing?+ Sen. Mullet voted for a bill that mandates the misuse of standardized student tests to make high-stakes decisions about students and teachers, even though there’s no evidence such a policy helps kids.

Why did he propose controversial tax legislation that fails to increase funding for K-12 schools?^ Sen. Mullet is the prime sponsor of a “levy swap” bill that rearranges school funding but fails to increase funding for schools in Issaquah. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is holding Sen. Mullet and the rest of the Legislature in contempt for failing to increase school funding as required by the Constitution.

Call Sen. Mullet at 800-562-6000 & Tell Him: • Fully fund smaller class sizes for all students • Oppose the misuse of high-stakes standardized tests • Increase funding for K-12 public schools Paid for by the 85,000 members of the Washington Education Association
