Three elementaries mail out failing performance notices Education landscape could change with federal reform bill

Brush fires present danger to community -Page 4-

News

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Three Issaquah elementary schools sent out letters this week notifying parents that they were

failing federal performance standards.

Briarwood, Clark and Issaquah Valley elementary schools each sent out notices letting parents know that they had not met Adequate Yearly Progress standards under the No Child Left Behind Act and what options were available for allowing their student to transfer schools under the law.

It’s a situation that’s become

familiar this summer to school districts that receive federal Title I, Part A funding to serve high populations of low income students.

It’s also a situation that’s become unavoidable in the face of testing standards that require 100 percent proficiency in reading and math regardless of factors like special needs or students speaking English as a second language, according to an open letter signed by Issaquah

Sammamish teen dies from injuries after Aug. 12 car crash

CRUISING ON BEAVER LAKE

Kingston Seattle Open at Lake Sammamish State Park -Page 10-

School District Superintendent Ron Thiele and 27 other superintendents in Aug. 2014.

“The label of ‘failing’ schools is regressive and punitive, as nearly every Washington school will not meet the [No Child Left Behind] Requirements,” that letter read.

“Some of our state’s and districts’

On what appeared to be a floating dock, donning a pirate flag, four people took to the seas — er, Beaver Lake — to soak up the sunshine Monday, Aug. 17, at around 2 p.m.

An 18-year-old Sammamish resident died from his injuries after a car crash Aug. 12, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office.

Joseph Brown, identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, was ejected from his 2013 Ford Mustang after sideswiping a minivan on Beaver Lake Drive Southeast around 10:12 p.m., according to the county. He was not wearing his seat belt.

Brown’s vehicle veered off the road and down an embankment where it hit a tree on the 2800 block of Beaver Lake Drive Southeast, according to lead Detective SEE CRASH, 7

Seniors threaten lawsuit against center administrator Attorney alleges newsletter libelous

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Opponents to the leadership of the Issaquah Valley Senior Center went on a three-pronged offensive last week as a lawyer representing six former and current members

began sending letters to the center’s attorney and the city of Issaquah’s elected leaders.

In an initial letter sent Aug. 13, Renton attorney Inez Petersen demanded under threat of lawsuit that center leadership retract and apologize for claims she said were made against her clients in the senior center’s newsletter, including a claim that “a group of seniors bull[ied] a vulnerable senior to death.”

“Every paragraph of every page of the June 30th Newsletter [sic] is permeated with libel,” Petersen wrote.

That letter was followed by subsequent letters sent Aug. 16 to Mayor Fred Butler and the Issaquah City Council requested that the city take measures to protect the senior center’s assets and rescind no trespass orders issued against Issaquah woman Regina Poirer and former center board member David Waggoner.

Julius Boehm Pool to reopen ahead of schedule

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Julius Boehm Pool will welcome guests ahead of an initially projected Sept. 8 reopening following nearly a year of closure for renovation.

The city of Issaquah’s Parks and Recreation Department has invited the public to a grand reopening celebration to be held at noon Aug. 25.

The pool, located on Southeast Clark Street, closed in November to begin a $5 million project adding accommodations for disabled guests, new locker rooms, benches,

energy efficient LED lights, an improved climate control system, high-efficiency boilers, a new reception area and plastic pool liners.

The renovation additionally included the installation of “KERSPLOOSH!,” a 120-square-foot glass shard mosaic by Benson Shaw.

Following the grand reopening ceremony, the pool will be open for free public use until 5 p.m.

The parks and recreation department is offering a condensed four-day lifeguard training course as it works to staff Julius Boehm.

The American Red Cross course will take place 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 27-30.

Students must be 15 or older by the last day of the course and pass pre-course requirements, including a 300-yard continuous swim with the front crawl or breaststroke; complete a 20-yard swim, 7- to 10-foot surface dive and 10-pound object lift in under 100 seconds; and tread water for two minutes using only their legs.

Completion of the lifeguard course includes certification in CPR and first aid.

Prospective students can register at 425-837-3350.

most successful and highly recognized schools are now being labeled ‘failing’ by an antiquated law that most educators and elected officials — as well as the U.S. Department of Education — acknowledge isn’t working.”

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan revoked Washington state’s conditional No Child Left Behind waiver in March 2014, citing the state legislature’s failure to deliver on a promise to tie teacher evaluations to standardized test scores. Duncan notified state leaders that reinstatement of the waiver would be linked to delivering on that promise and expanding charter schools.

Now, with the first failure letters going out to parents, districts are reverting to No Child Left Behind’s one-fifth requirement, in which 20 percent of failing schools’ federal education dollars must be earmarked for student transfers and intervention methods like tutoring.

But the education landscape nationwide could soon change if two reform bills that passed the House and Senate this summer can be compromised into a bill that will meet with White House approval.

In July, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan education reform bill co-authored by Senator Patty Murray (DWash.) and Senator Lamar Alexander (RTenn.), which would perpetuate federal measurements of student progress while returning responsibility for low performing schools to states and school districts.

Soon afterward, the House narrowly passed its own reform bill drafted by U.S.

File photo by Chad Coleman, Bellevue Reporter

Senator Patty Murray co-authored an education reform bill that passed the U.S. Senate in July.

Rep. John Kline of Minnesota.

Speaking with journalists from Eastside Reporter newspapers on Aug. 13, Murray expressed confidence the two bills would successfully make it through a congressional conference committee that opened discussion in late July, despite drastic differences like a provision in the House bill supporting portability — a policy allowing Title I funding to follow low income students to the school of their choice.

President Barack Obama spoke strongly against portability in Kline’s Student Success Act in February, though he fell shy of threatening a veto.

“It won’t be in the final bill,” Murray said.

Duncan gave mixed praise in his response to the Murray/Alexander bill, applauding many of its reforms yet wondering aloud if local officials could manage low performing schools without oversight.

“Arne Duncan would tell you our bill is better than current federal law, but he had his weight taken away,” Murray said. “From his point of view, we took his power away.”

Teacher Karen Stillwell, left, demonstrates how students attending the outdoor school, Sammamish Learning Adventures, can use these buckets as seats during the day. Teacher Katie Innes, right, and the other three teachers (not pictured) met at Beaver Lake Park Monday, Aug. 17, to discuss the nuts and bolts of the newly established program, set to begin this fall.

Outdoor preschool to open this fall

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

There’s no such thing as bad weather — just inappropriate clothing.

That’s what Karen Stillwell will tell parents signing up for the newly established Sammamish Learning Ad-

Ready for the new school year?

The start of a new school year usually means shopping for school supplies and new clothes.

But perhaps this time of year should also involve visits to your healthcare specialists to make sure that nothing will hinder your children’s academic success.

THE DENTIST

Plan a visit to the dentist to confirm (keep your fingers crossed!) the absence of cavities and to ensure

ventures, an outdoor school for ages 3-5, including kindergarteners, set to open this fall.

Five teachers, including Stillwell, created the offshoot program that in many ways resembles its predecessor, Sammamish Learning Center, a preschool that closed its doors in June after opening in 1995.

“We were kind of determined to make something happen,” teacher Katie Innes said. Innes taught at the learning center for 8 years.

Innes, like the others,

said she loves children and that teaching "is not a job."

As of this week, there are 11 children registered for school, which begins Sept.

14. It costs $25 per day to attend. Children must be potty trained and 3 years old by Aug. 31 to enroll.

They are also required to bring a snack and water bottle, both clearly labeled with the child’s name on them, to each lesson.

The program, taught in Beaver Lake Park and Ebright Creek Park, will follow the Issaquah

that your children’s teeth are positioned correctly.

In some cases, orthodontic treatment might be required. It’s also essential that your children understand the importance of having good oral hygiene.

THE CHIROPRACTOR

School District’s academic schedule, including weather closures.

The school offers morning and afternoon sessions that are 2 ½ hours long. Students will learn about the parks, and the environment will supplement math, reading, writing and science lessons.

“We’ll still cover all the basics, but it will be in a different way,” Stillwell said.

“Just taking a walk in the woods, you are learning — don’t think we’re just out there playing.”

For example, if they see a deer wander through the wooded trails of Beaver Lake Park, the teachers could use that opportunity to teach students how to write the letter “d,” to spell the word “deer,” and to draw the animal.

The goal is to get the children involved with the world around them.

Stillwell said research shows children who play outside are more connected to the natural world and are healthier and happier.

Stillwell taught at the Sammamish Learning Center for 16 years. When she first got the news it was closing, she racked her

brain to find an alternative.

At first she tried to rent the Beaver Lake Lodge for the year, but the city of Sammamish won’t rent in advance like that.

“If we can’t rent the lodge, why can’t we just use the park?” Stillwell asked.

The more the group researched outdoor schools — there are about 12 in the Seattle area — the more appealing the idea became.

"We're putting adventure back into learning," Stillwell said.

The group has a couple tents they can set up if needed, and they will have a little space heater for when it’s cold. Also, as a nonprofit, Sammamish Learning Adventures can rent the lodge occasionally.

Drawing on their past experience, the teachers don't think adverse weather will pose much of a problem. The idea is to keep the youngsters moving. They suspect coats will pile up in the collapsible wagon they’ll bring along to carry supplies.

Stillwell will encourage parents to outfit their children with water boots and “Tuffo Muddy Buddy Coveralls” for the super wet

days.

The one-piece coverall is sealed and completely waterproof with dual zippers on the front for quick changes. It’s a loose-fitting suit that goes over other layers of clothing and still allows easy movement.

They are available on Amazon.com for about $20-$40.

All the teachers will have fulfilled current first aid and CPR requirements by the end of August. On their persons during the day, the teachers will have a little first aid kit and whistles.

Eventually, Stillwell hopes to partner with the city to establish the school's base of operations in the house that sits unoccupied in Big Rock Park. But that is still several years off.

For more information about the program and the curriculum, people are welcome to attend the free parent orientation at the Beaver Lake Lodge Sept. 8 from 4-6 p.m. The lodge is located at 2526 244th Ave. S.E., Sammamish.

have a hearing problem.

A hearing assessment is advised in these circumstances. Some types of ear

infections, if they remain untreated, could contribute to varying degrees of hearing deficits as well.

Put all the odds in favor of your child’s success by visiting your healthcare specialists.

2015 BACK to SCHOOL

THE OPTOMETRIST

For most people, over 80 per cent of learning is done visually. In fact, several vision problems may be detected when children are being taught to read and write. Consequently, it’s vital to have your children’s eyes checked on a regular basis.

Your children’s vertebrae and backs are in constant use as they grow, so it’s a good idea to have them checked out by a chiropractor. This specialist may even demonstrate how to wear a backpack without causing injury.

THE AUDIOLOGIST

Not responding properly to instructions, constantly asking teachers to repeat themselves and not reacting immediately when spoken to are just some of the signs that your child may

A state on fire

A

s of Wednesday, 33 large fires were burning across Washington state and in Oregon — 20 in Washington state alone.

They are named “Stickpin” or “ Windy Ridge” or “Tunk Block”. Behind those labels are hundreds of firefighters, thousands of hours of labor and millions of public dollars.

A large fire is any wildland fire in timber 100 acres or greater, or 300 acres or more in grasslands or rangelands.

When you add it all up — there are a lot of buildings, timber and land on fire.

The smoke can be seen as well from space as from a car driving across the state. Smoke hovered over the wheat fields along Highway 261 between Washtucna and Ritzville last Monday where the elevation rises to 1,800 feet or more above sea level. The smoke could been seen in three directions from fires 100 miles or more to the north.

Twenty percent or more of the state was in an air quality advisory situation — unhealthy and hazardous for many. Many more are suffering from shock and sorrow.

No life has been lost but other losses are huge.

Meanwhile the wind continues to blow, bringing dust and increasing risk to already dry and vulnerable areas.

Over here in Western Washington, it is also dry — one of the driest summers on record. Usually, we are rescued by the rain. But the increasing level of fires make it difficult to ignore no matter where you live. A few months ago, even the typically damp Olympic National Park was on fire.

Closer to home there were other ominous signs of fire.

There were patches of black along Interstate 90 from Issaquah to Ellensburg. Something had ignited the grass next to the highway shoulder or in the median. Were they begun by a spark from a truck, lightning — or a cigarette?

It is too upsetting to guess.

Anyone caught tossing a cigarette out the window should have to suit up and help put out a fire out in the wilderness.

In July, even the typically damp Olympic National Park was on fire

To the editor Speaking up about dogs in grocery stores Re: “Dogs in Aisle 6”. I couldn’t agree more with the editor. I so often want to make a comment to the owner or the management and resist so I don’t make a scene. The owner would probably ignore me anyway since they see no problem with contaminating the food and the baskets. Not to mention folks with allergies to dogs.

Thanks for the encouragement to say something next time I see an issue.

Susie Juarez

Well-behaved dogs okay but not in the cart Let me start out by stating that I am not a dog owner. I like dogs, but I’m not in the “dog-lover” category.

That being stated - has Ms. Grady ever been to Europe where in most countries I’ve visited dogs are welcomed at many restaurants and cafes? A well-behaved pooch isn’t an unwelcome site in these establishments. I also question the assertion that dogs aren’t “clean” relative to their presence in an eating establishment. Where’s the scientific evidence?

Does a dog belong in a grocery cart? Of course not — and I agree that a grocery store should be off limits for a lot of reasons not related to “clean” (but these do include poorly house-trained animals).

State and FDA regulations should be recognized, honored, and enforced; with that I can’t dis-

agree. But the argument ends there.

Poorly behaved animals, just like poorly behaved children, should not be forced on the rest of us, but it is unfortunate that a well-behaved “man’s best friend” can’t join that man for a friendly pint at the local pub.

Gordon Lewandowski

Music amid the trees is a boon to health There has been considerable press lately concerning the significance of trees to one’s health; however, music also seems to be of importance to our wellbeing. If this is true about music then within the shadow of the Sammamish/Issaquah Plateau there is an abundance of opportunities to experience the nourishing aspects of music.

This was especially true during the week of August 3, where over a three day period at six venues there was an opportunity to listen to a number of musical groups and all of this was free. Interesting the groups provide an opportunity to hear music with a worldwide theme.

First there was Blake Nobel from Australia at the Bellevue Fountain Court on Tuesday playing the Didgeridoo which included a dingo dog jingle. That evening at the Issaquah Concert on the Green was Kalimba a large band that covers Earth Wind and Fire hits so their Earth portion keeps with the week’s worldly theme. Next on Wednesday was a quartet, Steve Baily and the Blue Flames at the Bellevue City Plaza that played blues music from around the country with the bass

player who was announced as being from Georgia, the country not the state. Thursday saw a Jamaican Reggae quintet the, Longstride performing at the Bellevue Connection.

That evening there was a local blues guitarist Nick Vigarino performing at the Issaquah Gas Station Blues series and ending up the night was another big band, The Kings of Hollywood, an Eagles tribute group performing to those gathered at Sammamish’s Pine Lake. Interesting the same group played Tuesday, August 11, at Issaquah’s Concert on the Green. It should be noted that rumors claim the location of the Eagles’ famous “Hotel California” is in the town of Todos Santos on the Pacific side of Baja California, Mexico.

So to relate back to music in the shadow of the plateau, the lyrics of Hotel California remind us that; “You can check-out any time you like. But you can never leave! “ So with the variety of worldly musical opportunities in our neighborhood why would we want to leave?

There have been studies; contrary to expectations that olive oil may impair endothelial function. So, why do some suggest that the Mediterranean diet (rich in olive oil) also improves the blood vessels? Perhaps, what the proponents of this diet forgot to mention is DR. BRIAN TIU that the Mediterranean diet is also rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans and nuts.

Bottom Line: Balance and variety is key. Improvements in health may be in spite of, rather than because of olive oil. Dietary fruits and vegetables are antioxidant rich foods that exert a protective effect on endothelial function. Just adding vegetables to a fatty-meal may partially restore blood vessel function.

College is expensive. But you can help yourself by saving early and often.

For example, if you started saving when your child was 3, and you contributed $200 monthly for 15 years earning 7 percent a year, you’d accumulate about $64,000.

I hear that green tea has many health benefits, but I don’t like the taste.

Is it important that I get a pre-approval letter from a lender before I begin shopping for a home?

JOE BILSBOROUGH

FINANCIAL ADVISOR But if you waited until your child was 13, and you saved the same $200 per month earning the same 7 percent a year, you’d have accumulated about $15,000 by the time your child was ready for college. Of course, these examples are hypothetical and don’t reflect the performance of an actual investment or strategy.

Whichever college savings method you choose, you’ll find that saving early and often can make a big difference when paying for the high costs of higher education.

that some involved say has simmered for years. But the situation boiled over earlier in 2015 with the issuance of no trespass orders to Poirier and Waggoner, banning them from the senior center.

Poirier was indefinitely banned Feb. 3, under allegations of elder abuse and “causing problems with others.” Waggoner was banned in April for alleged

harassment.

The allegation of elder abuse against Poirier stems from claims that she attempted to take advantage of late senior center member Lee Scheeler, who had dementia, according to statements made by Scheeler’s daughter-in-law in an affidavit dated May 4. Peggy Scheeler claimed in the affidavit that, after befriending Lee Scheeler in 2012, Poirier unsuccessfully attempted to take power of attorney, ownership of his house and attempted to

persuade him to purchase her a new car.

“My father-in-law … was a proud man but was also confused and afraid,” Peggy Scheeler said in the affidavit. “He wanted nothing to do with Regina Poirier and requested continued protection from her.”

In the months following Poirier’s ban, Peggy Scheeler said, Poirier and several of Petersen’s other clients repeatedly contacted Lee Scheeler and urged him to “change his story.”

Lee Scheeler died April

Friday, August 21, 2015

21. David Adler, an attorney who has been retained by the Issaquah Valley Senior Center, said the cause of death was a heart attack.

“The cause of the heart attack is what is an open question,” he said.

An April 16 affidavit — relating to Waggoner’s ban and on which the name of the person making the statement was redacted from the copy provided to the Reporter — stated that Waggoner had used a birthday party at the senior center as a forum to make claims against Executive Director Courtney Jaren. Those claims included that Jaren had made up lies to support Poirier’s ban, that she had been fired from her previous position at the Forest Grove Senior & Community Center in Oregon and that similar negative information had been withheld from members by the senior center’s board of directors at the time of her hiring.

A question of money But Petersen is arguing the allegations of elder abuse were a ruse to silence Poirier’s questions about the senior center’s finances.

The second reason for Poirier’s ban, given in her no trespass order, is a clear sign, she said.

“Elder abuse is covered by an RCW,” Petersen wrote

the mayor and city council in response to the reasons for Poirier’s ban. “But ‘causing problems with others’ must be from the BCW, the Bullsh*t Code of Washington.”

In one of her letters, Petersen asked city officials to examine the senior center’s finances. The attorney suggested impropriety in executive director Jaren’s and the board’s use of center funds.

Petersen pointed out nearly $158,000 spent on payroll versus nearly $6,000 on programs for seniors in its 2014 budget.

“It is not ordinary and reasonable if only 2.8 percent of the center’s funds are going directly to seniors,” Petersen told the Reporter.

Allegations of libel The tit-for-tat between the senior center leadership and opposing members came to a head with the publication of the senior center’s June 30 newsletter. The newsletter included a letter signed by Jaren stating that the senior center was in no danger from the ongoing controversy.

But Jaren’s letter was followed by a further, unsigned letter that accused “about ten citizens of Issaquah and neighboring communities” of a false information campaign against the center and made further

allegations of sabotage, theft from other seniors and the claim of bullying a vulnerable senior to death.

Though the letter does not explicitly name names, Petersen said that offered no anonymity to her clients within the context of recent events. She demanded the letter be retracted and that the senior center devote a future newsletter to an apology; if the senior center doesn’t do so, she plans to file a libel lawsuit, she said.

But Adler, the center’s attorney, said Petersen doesn’t have a case.

“If there’s no names, there’s no libel,” he said.

The senior center acted to protect one of its members and the affidavits against Poirier were an important element of the case being ignored

by Petersen, Adler said.

“I don’t think she’s giving much credence to these policies … or the factual basis of this process,” Adler said. “So if someone doesn’t like what they did in regard to Lee Scheeler, as far as Ms. Scheeler’s concerned, not enough people did enough.”

Adler said he was still formulating a response to Petersen’s letter threatening lawsuit.

Sammamish Days, Nights return Saturday ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Fun on the Plateau will not be in short supply this weekend, as Sammamish Days and Sammamish Nights return Saturday, Aug. 22.

During the day, residents can expect cultural entertainment, free activities for children and more than 20 vendors and food trucks.

The events will be located at the Sammamish Commons Plaza, between city hall and the library off of 228th Avenue Southeast.

Put on by the city of Sammamish, city staff expect a few thousand people to attend the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Parking is limited at city hall and the library.

The majority of parking is available at Mary, Queen of Peace at 1121 228th Ave. S.E. There is a trail from the church to the plaza.

For a schedule of stage events visit www.sammamish.us/events/Default. aspx?ID=3434.

A little later in the eve-

ning, Sammamish Nights will take over the plaza from 6:30-10 p.m.

This is "when the kids go home and the adults come out," Executive Director of the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce Deb Sogge said.

In its seventh year, the chamber puts on the evening event, which was "born out of the need to have an adult venue" in the city, Sogge said.

Prepaid tickets are $45 per person. Tickets at the door are $55 per person.

Attendees must be at least 21 years old to attend.

The ticket price includes wine, beer and spirit tasting. Attendees will also have the opportunity to try food from local restaurants, while they are entertained by the live band, "Shelley and the Curves."

The chamber is partnering with the Sammamish Arts Commission to give attendees a preview of the October 2015 Sammamish Arts Fair.

Jeanne Walford of King County’s major accident response and reconstruction unit.

The evidence shows Brown was traveling “well in excess of the 25 mile per hour” speed limit, Walford said. Although, as the investigation is still open, she is unsure how fast he was going.

There were four people, two adults and two children, in the 2006 Honda Odyssey Minivan Brown struck. All were reportedly wearing their seat belts. The 15-year-old girl was taken to Swedish Medical Center for minor injuries and was later released, Walford said.

Brown was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries that evening, according to the county’s medical examiner’s office.

Walford is still waiting on a toxicology report, which could take six to eight weeks to complete.

Klahanie-area Transition Committee to focus on traffic, safety going forward

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Concerns related to traffic and safety are the top priority for the Klahaniearea Transition Committee.

The transition committee, established by the Sammamish City Council in July, met for the first time in the Sammamish City Hall Aug. 12. It will meet the second Wednesday of each month leading up to the Jan. 1, 2016 annexation of some 11,000 people.

The committee will act as a liaison for the city, in order to communicate with Klahanie-area residents and to advise the city regarding various issues.

The main arterials, Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast and Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road, which outline two-thirds of the roughly 2-square-mile

annexation area, are the big road projects.

The city of Sammamish put these segments of road on the city’s six-year Transportation Improvement Program this summer, making them eligible to receive state and federal grants. In total, tackling these roads is an estimated $52.5 million project, according to the 2016-2021 TIP. “I don’t know what the city can do inside this community when there’s such a demand on these bigger roads,” Mike Foss, representing Brookshire Estates, said. Foss specifically referenced traffic issues on Southeast 47th Place.

Other members of the all-volunteer committee brought up smaller neighborhood streets, like Southeast 32nd Place, where public safety and speeding are an issue.

City Manager Ben Yazici said the city is taking a multi-year approach to bring the neighborhoods up to code. The committee’s purpose is to make a list of these concerns and prioritize them.

“It’s going to take some work,” Yazici said. “We feel you. We understand you.

We’ve been there.”

Yazici reminded the committee Sammamish residents inherited $250 million in capital deficiencies in roads when it incorporated in 1999. Many of Klahanie streets are in similar disrepair.

Yazici negotiated with King County earlier this summer to provide some long overdue services, including maintaining the Klahanie Park and repairing warped pavement and sidewalks along 230th Place Southeast and roadwork on

Klahanie Boulevard. In total, these services are valued at $340,000.

The King County Sheriff ’s Office, which provides the city with its police force, fast tracked the hiring of six additional officers. Four will be ready come the new year, with the last two joining February and March, respectively. Yazici also reminded the committee that, after annexation, the area would have much better police response times.

As it is now, the Klahanie Homeowners Association, has been paying, by Brent Marshall's estimate, $200,000 a year for a private security force.

Marshall, 35, represents the Klahanie Association and was elected co-chair.

Lorrie Schleg, 52, who has represents the Summer Pond neighborhood near Klahanie, was elected chair.

The 16-member board represents about 95 percent of the Klahanie-area population.

“You know your community better than we do,”

Robin Grounds, left, of the Glenwood neighborhood, discusses the time line for repairing Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast with Sammamish Communications Director Tim Larson, middle, and City Manager Ben Yazici, right.

Yazici said. “That information will be invaluable to us.”

The next meeting is Sept.

8 at 6:30 p.m. in Sammamish City Hall, located

at 801 228th Ave. S.E. The November meeting will be rescheduled to a different day, due to Veterans Day.

A CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE ATTAINED

In the Redzone

Sports are an inescapable aspect of life on vacation

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Photo courtesy of Rick Edelman/Rick Edelman photography

Ryan Doherty smashes the ball at its highest point during the finals of the AVP Kingston Seattle Open at Lake Sammamish State Park Aug. 9. The combo of John Mayer and Doherty, who were seeded fourth at the tourney, defeated the tandem of Phil Dalhausser/ Nick Lucena 2-1 (20-22, 21-17, 15-13) in the men’s final. Doherty and Mayer defeated the top three seeded squads en route to their first ever championship title as teammates.

For the first time since my arrival at the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter in August 2014, I had the rare opportunity to take advantage of some of my rapidly accruing vacation time.

I made the short two-hour plane ride to Reno, which has been dubbed “Biggest Little City in the World,” for my good friend John Ball’s bachelor party in late July. It was a gathering of six individuals from three different states (California, Washington and Oregon) with a vast amount of different likes, interests and modes of operation.

One aspect of life on which all six of us in attendance were in agreement was our affinity for sports. Collectively, we decided to attend a Triple-A baseball contest between the Reno Aces and Las Vegas 51s on July 25. The Aces defeated the 51s 8-5 in a battle between Nevada rivals. Aces Ballpark, located in downtown Reno, was a 10-minute walk from

our hotel rooms at the Eldorado Resort Casino. Aces Ballpark opened in 2009 and, in my opinion, is the crowning jewel of Reno’s downtown core. In addition to attending the game on the diamond, I placed a $30 bet earlier that day on the Mariners in their contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. While dining at Eldorado’s delicious buffet, I checked my phone and discovered the Mariners built a 6-3 lead after five innings of play.

I thought I was going to be $30 richer later in the evening.

Sadly, I was wrong.

The Blue Jays put up two runs in the top of the eighth and the top of the ninth, earning an 8-6 victory. A few of my buddies engaged in some spirited trash talk in regard to the loss I experienced and I laughed right along with them.

The entire trip was a blast. It was two vacation days well utilized and well spent!
