Nearly 4,000 walkers and runners gathered for the Issaquah Turkey Trot 5K the morning of Thanksgiving. First organized by Issaquah resident Heather Matthews and her family in 2010, the Trot has raised thousands of dollars for the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank each year through registration fees. The 5K had raised $115,000 prior to this year and Matthews said her family hoped to donate $50,000 to the food bank following the 2015 run.

The Sammamish City Council unanimously approved a $90,000 line item, which would increase the city’s funding to A Regional Coalition for Housing tenfold, during a mid-biennium budget update at its Tuesday regular meeting.

The coalition, commonly referred to as ARCH, is a partnership of Eastside cities mostly in King County with the goal of preserving and increasing the supply of homes for low- and moderate-income households. The city of Sammamish has been a partner for about 15 years.

“Affordable housing is a regional issue,”

City Manager Ben Yazici said at the Nov. 10 City Council meeting. “The reality, however, is home prices in Sammamish have been raising at a much higher rate than perhaps some of our peer cities.”

The city had earmarked $10,000 for the ARCH contribution in 2016, but city staff suggested increasing that to $100,000.

“We can’t buy potentially one-fifth of one unit with a $100,000 contribution,” Yazici continued. “But as we contribute to this pool we will get our share by supporting those projects in the immediate vicinity of the city and those we would benefit from.”

On average, the city donates $61,170 SEE ARCH, 7

The Sammamish teen reported missing in October returned home Sunday evening, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office Monday.

County officials began looking for Alana DePorter, 15, who ran away from her Sammamish home, Oct. 14.

“She’s home and she’s safe,” county spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said.

DePorter called her father Sunday evening and he picked her up from where she was staying, West said.

Because DePorter is a juvenile, West could not release more information on DePorter’s whereabouts, just that there was “no indication she was in danger.”

In mid-November, DePorter had contacted her father to tell him “she was safe but didn’t want to come home,” West said.

DePorter had left a note when she left her home in mid-October, West said.

Truck fills with 12 tons for food banks

BY DANIEL NASH

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Firefighters with Eastside Fire & Rescue collected more than 12 tons of donations for two area food banks the weekend following Thanksgiving.

Battalion Chief Glenn Huffman and his son camped out on top of a semitruck trailer parked in the Issaquah Fred Meyer’s lot Friday, Nov. 27, through Sunday, Nov. 29.

During that time, donors filled the First Due Movers truck with nearly 25,500 pounds of food, clothing, toiletries and other sundries. Nearly $2,400 in cash and gift cards were also donated.

The donations will support the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank and the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank.

The weekend marked the fifth year the nonprofit Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund put on the food and clothing drive. The “Fill the Truck” drive has been the flagship event of the Benevolent Fund since it incorporated in 2011.

No new movement at Talus slide site

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Monitoring devices installed outside the site of the Northwest Talus Drive landslide were showing no new perceptible movement as of Monday, indicating the residential construction zone may soon become stable again.

Spokespeople said the city still needs to collect more data to ensure earth movement has stopped completely. But the news signaled a slowdown to the hectic public information campaign that began shortly after the Nov. 13 landslide.

Shortly after the slide, city staff established regular contact with the Talus Homeowners Association, and posted news about work and monitoring of the site online. Following criticisms from Talus residents that not enough was being done to inform

the neighborhood, staff established a dedicated Web page and committed to daily email updates, even when no new information was available.

With the earth movement apparently ceased, the city stopped daily updates until new information becomes available.

On Nov. 13, construction work at a residential site at the corner of Northwest Talus Drive and ShangriLa Way was halted after earth on the hillside began slowly moving, with enough force to buckle the road.

Crews installed an emergency retaining wall and covered as much ground as possible with plastic sheeting to stop water absorption that could contribute to the slide.

Crews also installed monitoring devices to study the geometry of the slide and drilled dewatering wells to slow movement, geotechnical

engineer Martin Page said at a Nov. 24 community briefing.

Public Works Operations successfully rerouted water lines to the north of the landslide site Nov. 25. The site of the movement is close to water mains and lines which staff feared could break if movement returned, Emergency Management Director Bret Heath said at the community briefing.

“We have installed a combination of underground and overland 8-inch high-density polyethylene pipe” supplying the neighborhoods north of the site, Heath said. He called the action a “temporary-permanent” measure as the landslide site continued to be monitored. Heath noted the reservoir west of the slide site was safely outside of the site, on its upper side.

E. coli outbreak expands

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

What started as a four-state E. coli outbreak linked to Costco’s chicken salad has expanded to seven states. Nineteen people have fallen ill and the farm identified as the source of the outbreak has recalled 150,000 celery products.

No deaths have been reported; five have been hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Only one Washington state resident has fallen ill, according to a Nov. 23 Washington State Department of Health release. This person, a King County resident, has not been hospitalized.

In late October, public health officials urged people who recently bought Costco’s “chicken salad made with rotisserie chicken” to toss it out.

During preliminary testing of the Costco product, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, also investigating the outbreak, discovered a link to a celery blend the California-based company Taylor Farms Pacific, Inc. produces.

Following the tests, Taylor Farms Pacific also voluntarily recalled more than 150,000 products that use the celery blend from stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, Sam’s Club and Walmart, according to Montana health officials.

To view the entire list of items recalled, visit www.fda. gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm474601.htm.

The Washington resident who fell ill had bought the product — item number 337719 — from a Shoreline Costco, according to Public Health — Seattle & King County.

The outbreak is now linked to six cases in Montana, five in Utah, four in Colorado, one in California, one in Missouri and one in Virginia. However, the celery product within the salad is also being recalled from several other states.

People who have eaten this product and are infected with E. coli generally get sick within two to eight days afterward.

Symptoms for those infected with the strain O157:H7 include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and vomiting.

Those who experience these symptoms should seek medical care immediately.

All state departments of health are investigating the outbreak along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Letters to the editor Alzheimer’s needs funding There has been growing recognition of the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease, but the funding to find a cure lags dramatically behind what’s necessary. Although my personal introduction to the disease occurred many years ago following my late grandmother’s diagnosis, its impact on her life, my life and the lives of her loved ones continues to shape and strengthen my commitment to this important cause.

In 2010, Congress unanimously passed legislation that set a goal of finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s by 2025. But National Institutes of Health research on dementia has not increased to the $2 billion a year level that scientists say is needed.

In fact, for every $100 spent on Alzheimer’s research, Medicare and Medicaid programs spend $26,000 to care for people with the disease.

Currently there are 107,000 Washingtonians living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that number will grow to 140,000 by 2025. We must invest more to find a treatment and a cure now.

The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill giv-

ing $350 million more to the NIH for Alzheimer’s research, while the House Committee has voted $300 million. If even the lower figure is signed into law, that would be a 50 percent increase in research funding for this disease. The new budget law just eased strict budget caps, allowing additional priority spending this coming year.

I urge Rep. Dave Reichert and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to vote for this vital Alzheimer’s research boost and push to make sure it is in the final appropriations bill enacted into law.

Yellow lights confusing Those flashing yellow lights are dangerous. In most other states it’s just blank. They have a red arrow if you can’t turn. No light means you may turn, yielding to traffic of course, if it’s safe.

But here the yellow lights can turn on while the straight light is red. That can be really confusing.

Almost everyone in my family has turned left on a yellow not realizing that the oncoming traffic was about to get a green light. Another

How to avoid phone scams The recent warning about phone scams for donations to the State Patrol (and other organizations) prompts me to respond with the simple solution our family has. We make no commitments for donations over the phone unless we initiate the call. This applies both to organizations we support and those we don’t.

When someone calls to solicit, you are never sure it is for real or a scam.

Rejecting all such calls eliminates the need to try to verify the validity of the caller. This is an absolute policy in our house.

included an article about Sound Transit’s second of four weekend partial closures of the I-90 bridge to implement changes required for adding fourth lanes to the bridge outer roadways. They currently don’t intend to finish the modifications and allow commuters to use the added lanes until 2017.

Sound Transit should be required to expedite modifying the outer roadway and substantiate the 2008 DEIS claim: “Travel times across I-90 for vehicles and trucks would also improve or remain similar with East Link” by temporarily closing the center roadway.

Their current plan to delay the lanes until it’s too late to prevent center roadway closure poses an unacceptable risk for commuters.

Marijuana store fined after underage sale The store was fined $1,000 for allowing a minor on the premises and given the choice of a 10-day suspension or a $2,500 fine for sale to a minor. License holder Reach Island LLC paid both fines in November.

On a follow-up call on Oct. 21, store manager Gehrett notified Bussman that he had fired the doorman and instituted a policy not to accept vertical IDs and to perform a secondary ID check at the point of sale. Additionally, the store had added signage listing acceptable forms of ID and reminding employees of the current birth year for 21-year-old customers.

Between Sept. 4, 2014 and Oct. 30, 2015, the Liquor and Cannabis Board conducted 215 sale compliance checks on marijuana retailers as part of approximately 7,113 contacts — ranging from phone calls to in-person inspections and investigations — with all recreational marijuana businesses, according to enforcement records.

Liquor and Cannabis Board spokesman Brian Smith reported the marijuana retail compliance rate for sales to minors — based on checks from enforcement officers and their underage investigative aides from January to September of 2015 — was 88 percent, compared against 91 percent for alcohol.

Public records settlement moves forward

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to allow a longtime Sammamish couple to submit a shoreline variance application for their Beaver Lake property.

The council’s action is in line with the June settlement agreement the city reached with residents David and Megan Gee after the couple filed suit in December 2013 regarding city staff ’s “incomplete, inadequate and perfunctory” response to a 2012 public records request, court documents say.

Per the settlement agreement, the city paid the Gees $90,000 as well as allowing the couple to submit the variance that would allow them to develop in the buffer around a wetland located in the middle of their property.

The variance remains contingent on the hearing examiner and the Washington State Department of Ecology review. If the plans are not approved, the case will go to trial.

The Issaquah Cannabis Company has been cited by the state Liquor and Cannabis Board after a compliance check saw an underage investigative aide successfully make it onto the sales floor and purchase product, after the doorman reportedly misjudged the aide’s age.

The incident — which saw Issaquah Cannabis Company fined a total of $3,500 — was the first and only violatory compliance visit for Issaquah’s sole recreational marijuana store. The business has since instituted a more rigorous age-screening policy, manager Cliff Gehrett told an enforcement officer.

On Nov. 19, the Reporter received a call from an anonymous tipster who claimed Issaquah Cannabis Company had sold to a minor the month prior. The person declined to identify herself outside of a claim she was a consultant for recreational marijuana businesses who frequents the Liquor and Cannabis Board’s public records.

A public records request with the Liquor and Cannabis Board confirmed that, on Oct. 18, liquor enforcement officer Joseph Bussman had cited the business during routine alcohol and cannabis compliance checks using an underage

volunteer.

Bussman had sent the 20-year-old aide to the store to see if he would be stopped at the ID checkpoint outside its sales floor.

A short time later, the aide returned with a half-gram of wax concentrate.

According to the aide’s report, the doorman had checked his identification — a vertically printed driver’s license standard in Washington state for persons under 21 — but allowed him to enter the sales floor.

Once inside, the aide was assisted by a cashier who did not perform a secondary ID check.

The aide’s and Bussman’s reports also noted that the doorman had asked the aide if he would turn 21 in 2016, to which the aide replied “no.” However, there may be some confusion on the reporting of this point as records show the aide will turn 21 in February 2016 and compliance protocol calls for investigative aides to use their true ID and age.

Bussman confronted the doorman about letting a minor onto the premises and asked the birth year of a 21-year-old.

The doorman said he thought the birth year for a 21-year-old was 1995.

The cashier was “visibly upset and frustrated,” according to Bussman’s report, about the sale and the failure of the doorman to screen a minor.

Chamber updates Issaquah-opoly

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Getting stuck in one of Issaquah’s trademark traffic jams may not be as unpleasant as going to jail — but it sure can feel like it. And if you believe the board game recently put out for sale by the local chamber of commerce, there’s no difference at all.

The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce revived Issaquah-opoly — a localized version of the classic board game Monopoly that the business networking organization has not put out for several years — after staff discovered copies of an old publication run of the game in storage. They decided to put the games out for sale at the Salmon Days festival in

@CityOfIssaquah via Instagram

Local items like kokanee salmon replace the familiar pieces in Monopoly.

The Sammamish Plateau Water & Sewer sports new 6,000- and 8,000-gallon gas tanks at its headquarters in Sammamish.

October, where copies were snatched up quickly.

The item’s popularity prompted the chamber to publish a new run of copies of the game, Executive Director Kathy McCorry said.

In terms of rules and general play, Issaquah-opoly follows its Hasbro progenitor exactly. But instead of playing with lap dogs and worn-out shoes, game pieces are items like salmon and hiking boots. And instead of Baltic Avenue and Boardwalk, players can buy up real estate from Grand Ridge Plaza and Recology Cleanscapes (the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter appears in one of the four traditional train station spaces on the board).

“The game is highly customized to Issaquah, all the way down to the chance and community chest cards,” McCorry said. “For example, one of our chance cards is ‘Stuck on Front Street; Go back three spaces.’ It was fun for us to come up with these little details that would uniquely reflect our city.”

The game has been updated with new box art and higher production values from its older version, including custom art of salmon and a paraglider taking off from Tiger Mountain.

The new run was debuted at the Issaquah Coffee Company for group play

‘Our goal is to be invisible’ Water, sewer district more prepared for disaster with new $3 million facility

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish Plateau Water & Sewer District boasts a $3 million facility that district officials say will make work less labor intensive and more efficient — especially in a disaster.

“Our main job is to make water and sewage flow, even in emergencies,” district media spokesperson Janet Sailer said. “Our goal is to be invisible.”

The newly installed outdoor facility includes a landscape shop, a decanting facility, two large fuel tanks and storage space for soils and iron pipes.

In a disaster, employees would have

SEE ISS-OPOLY, 7

The 2015 Annual Commemoration of “Wreaths Across America”

enough fuel for roughly a week to supply company vehicles and the diesel-run generators that pump sewage away from properties, like those along Lake Sammamish.

Due to the need, the district might ask people to restrict their water and sewage usage to conserve fuel during a disaster.

“We could go through 2,000 gallons of diesel in a day in an emergency,” district project manager Jim Konigsfeld estimated.

Under normal use, the district aims to maintain several weeks worth of fuel in its 6,000-gallon tank for unleaded and 8,000-gallon tank for diesel gasoline.

Konigsfeld, who recalled a recent ice storm that ran dry Plateau gas stations, said this fueling station, in addition to storing all the necessary equipment in one place, will boost district response time.

“In an emergency, all we have to do is load it and go,” Konigsfeld said.

ARCH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

per year, which is less than other Eastside cities and “doesn’t match our leadership role in the world of affordable housing,” Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard said Nov. 10. Since 2014, Howard has been the chair of the ARCH executive board.

There are 15 cities that participate in ARCH. Each city strives to contribute between a low and high annual goal.

Sammamish’s annual goal is to give between $25,000$196,000 to the ARCH trust fund.

In the last 15 years, Sammamish has given the least per year on average in comparison to surrounding cities, according to Howard.

Issaquah, which gives the second most to Bellevue out of that list, has contributed an average of $528,502 per year for the last 15 years, according to Howard.

These contributions include money directly given to ARCH, indirect monetary assistance like fee waivers and in-kind contributions such as donated land.

In 2009, the city of Sammamish cut its direct monetary funding to ARCH when the council decided to donate the “Lamb House” located off 228th Avenue Southeast near Southeast 20th Street, for a Habitat for Humanity project.

The land, valued at around $450,000, wasn’t officially donated until 2012 and later broke ground this year on July 15.

“Over time, the buying power of the ARCH trust fund has diminished,” Howard said.

From the early 1990s to the early 2000s, ARCH

“We’re taking our money and bundling it and putting it in other areas where we do get more bang for our buck out of it.”

Councilmember Nancy Whitten was not so keen to make a “policy decision” during a budget update, she suggested ARCH was trying to “shame” the city into an increase, which Howard denied.

of heck,” Megan Gee told the Reporter in June. “It’s not over until they give us that shoreline variance.”

City spokesperson Tim Larson told the Reporter in June that the decision to settle was based on a “risk assessment;” that is, it would be more expensive to go to court.

“There’s no shame in this,” he said. “It’s basically just an ask, given the cost of housing in Sammamish and the lack of affordable housing in the region.”

It was within the city’s right to decline the increase.

“We’re a very blessed community, and sometimes I think we lose sight of that,” Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance said Wednesday. “It’s a good thing if we can share some of those blessings with people who need it. …

Sharing those blessings ultimately comes back to help us.”

Spartans advance to Class 4A state championship

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

University of Georgia bound Lake Stevens Vikings quarterback Jacob Eason unleashed a pass toward the end-zone with a berth in the Class 4A state finals on the line in a battle against the Skyline Spartans.

Skyline, which was clinging to a 37-34 lead, forced Lake Stevens into a fourth down play at Skyline’s 32-yard line with just three-seconds left on the clock. Eason evaded Skyline’s front line before hoisting a pass toward down the right sideline as time expired. The pass was under thrown and Skyline defensive back Danny Sinatro leapt for the interception, preserving Skyline’s dramatic 37-34 win against Lake Stevens in the Class 4A semifinals on Nov. 28 at the Tacoma Dome.

“The adrenaline was pumping. I knew they were going deep and I knew they were going to the end zone because there was three-seconds left. I knew their quarterback could sling it. He is a hell of a player. I just went out there and made the play,” Sinatro said. “These moments don’t come by often. It feels so surreal right now. I’m speechless.”

Skyline’s defense didn’t allow a point on Lake Stevens final three possessions of the fourth quarter. Skyline took the lead for good when quarterback Blake Gregory connected

with Bradley Kim on a 27-yard touchdown biggest miscue of the game. While running strike, giving the Spartans a 37-34 lead with the ball, Eason fumbled and Skyline’s Alex 6:51 left in the fourth quarter. Gregory’s high Diegel recovered the fumble at Skyline’s 28velocity pass against the grain soared past a yard line with 1:52 remaining in regulation. well-positioned Lake Stevens defensive back The game appeared to be Skyline’s but for the go-ahead score.

Kim hauled driving his team down the field until the in two of his touchdown catches and Sinatro

scored on a 81-yard catch and run in the first quarter. Skyline running back Rashaad Boddie scored on a 1-yard touchdown run as well.

Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said in August that by the end of the season everyone would know who Gregory was.

He was right.

“I think he is such a special player. I probably sound like a broken record. He makes such good decisions and he makes such good throws,” Taylor said following the win against Lake Stevens.

The always humble Gregory said he just wanted to execute the game-plan the coaching staff put together.

“There is a lot of pressure on a big stage like this but I always try to stay within myself, do everything the coaches ask me to do and not try to do too much,” Gregory said.

The senior signal caller was confident the Skyline defense would make one final stop on Lake Stevens final drive of the game.

“We knew they didn’t have any timeouts left so we were just trying to play prevent defense and not let anything behind us. Our defense did an outstanding job closing out the game,” he said.

The Spartans will play Gonzaga Prep in the Class 4A state championship game at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 5 at the Tacoma Dome.

Crusaders dominate Lancers in Class 3A semifinals

BY SHAUN SCOTT

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Eastside Catholic Crusaders set the tone on the opening kickoff against the Lakes Lancers in the Class 3A semifinals at the Tacoma Dome.

Eastside Catholic senior Brandon Wellington returned the opening kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown, giving the Crusaders an early 7-0 lead against Lakes. The Crusaders preceded to score 34 points in the first quarter en route to a convincing 49-21 win against the Lancers on Nov. 27 in Tacoma.

With the Crusaders leading 28-0, Lakes quarterback Jaiave Magalei connected with Chris Hunter on a 21-yard touchdown catch cutting Eastside Catholic’s lead to 28-7 with 42 seconds left in the first period.

The momentum cultivated with Lakes’ first touchdown of the game didn’t last long. Wellington returned the Lancers’ ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown, extending Eastside

Catholic’s lead to 34-7 with 27 seconds left in the first quarter.

Crusaders’ quarterback Harley Kirsch, who went 12-for-14 for 243 yards and four touchdown passes, said Wellington’s kickoff returns were huge for his team.

“The timing of those plays really helped with the momentum of the game. Those two plays definitely helped the game run smoothly,” Kirsch said.

Wellington credited the entire special teams unit and coaching staff for his electrifying touchdowns in the return game.

“Coming out of the gate we knew what we had to do. We had to get out there and pounce on them quick. When we’re up that just gives us that kick in our step,” Wellington said. “We emphasize special teams at practice because special teams is a game changer. Sometimes it takes the air out of people and they don’t know how to respond.”

Kirsch connected with Hunter Bryant on two touchdown passes and also found Wellington and Devin Arbis-Jackson on touchdown tosses. Crusaders’ senior wide receiver Matt Laris

caught five passes for 82 yards as well. Tyler Folkes scored the Crusaders final touchdown of the night on 11-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter.

Eastside Catholic will return to the Tacoma Dome to play the Bellevue Wolverines in the Class 3A state championship game Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Eastside Catholic defeated Bellevue 35-13 in the 2014 championship game but Bellevue was victorious in the championship contest against Eastside Catholic in 2012 and 2013. Crusaders’ head coach Jeremy Thielbahr said his team is excited about the upcoming matchup against Bellevue.

“We took it from them last year and I know they want to take it back. It’s a great rivalry and it will be a great rematch,” Thielbahr said. “They have been flying under the radar a little bit, they are a great ball-club obviously. They’ve only lost to the No. 1 team in the country (Bishop Gorman). They do a phenomenal job of coaching and their kids believe so deeply in their system. I just think it’s a great battle of colossal programs.”
