The story is classic Dino Rossi: adaunting policy issue framed as akitchen table discussion.

Not long before the Sammamishresident and GOP standard-bearerdecided to run for the U.S. Senate,son Jake had a question about thenational debt.

“My 16-year-old asked me, ‘Howmuch do I owe?’ Sixteen-year-oldsshouldn’t be asking questions likethat,” Dino Rossi recalled. “Theyshould be asking, ‘Can I have thecar keys? And get out the money

while you’re giving me the carkeys.’”

Rossi — father of four, self-mademillionaire, former state senatorand erstwhile candidate for gover-nor — drops anecdotes about fam-ily life into stump speeches andinterviews to remind people he hasnot been part of partisan squabblesin Olympia or the otherWashington for years.

Before he entered the U.S.Senate race in late May, he spentthe 18 months since the 2008 elec-tion on “suburban dad stuff” —shuttling children to school andbasketball games.

The electorate remembers Rossifrom the bruising races for theGovernor’s Mansion, the achinglyclose margin in the 2004 contest —recounts, court challenges and,separated by a mere 133 ballots,the closest gubernatorial electionin U.S. history — and the failed

2008 rematch against Gov. ChrisGregoire.

Republicans hope Rossi, 50, canbe a political Lazarus in the latestelection battle. Supporters tout hisup-by-the-bootstraps biography asa conservative counterpoint to“mom in tennis shoes” PattyMurray, the incumbent Democrat.

Polls promised a competitiverace, and national Republicansengaged in a high-profilecourtship, but Rossi said he hadconcerns about how the toughelection might impact life at home.

“My 13-year-old, Joseph, hewould have filed me 10 monthsago if he could have figured outhow to forge my signature,” Rossisaid.

Return of the kingA salmon tries to make its way over the waterfall created by the weir at the Issaquah

Salmon Hatchery last week as the change in weather signals their annual return tospawn in the eternal cycle of life.

City planners could redraw theroutes large trucks use to travelthrough Issaquah.

Before the city takes action, offi-cials encourage residents to offerfeedback on proposals. The cityhas received feedback from resi-dents concerned about trucknoise, air pollution and the num-ber of trucks along East SunsetWay. The soon-to-be-completedEast Sunset Way approach toInterstate 90 has also raised con-cerns aboutincreased trucktraffic, aftercrews finish theupgraded road-way.

The truckroute for thestreet starts atthe I-90 inter-change, andthen progressesalong NewportWay Southwestto Front StreetSouth and thesouthern city line.

The route and state Route 900remain the only approved north-south routes in Issaquah.

In late spring, state Departmentof Transportation crews completedthe yearslong effort to widen stateRoute 900. The road can betteraccommodate larger trucks.

City planners want to know ifthe improvements justify closingthe East Sunset Way truck route.

Send comments to cityTransportation Planner Gary Costaat 1775 12th Ave. N.W., Issaquah,WA 98027 or e-mail them [email protected].

Comments sent to Costa andreceived at the open house will beshared with the CouncilTransportation Committee onSept. 30, before officials make anydecision.

The open house comes as statecrews near completion of the $1.3-million project to widen the SunsetWay approach to the interstate.

Plans call for wider lanes brack-eted by concrete barriers bor-dered by shoulders, curbs and asidewalk. Workers also built apermanent support to replace atemporary retaining wall fash-ioned from dirt and high-densityfabric.

The project adds the final pieceto the I-90 interchange. The rest ofthe project was completed in 2003.

Puget Sound Energy intends tomake small increases to electric andnatural gas rates Oct. 1 in order toadjust for costs of the utility’s low-income assistance program.

The utility made a request latelast month to the state Utilities andTransportation Commission toapprove the increases.

The request filed Aug. 31 aims toincrease electric rates by an over-all average of 0.004 percent — or4/1000th of 1 percent — and natu-ral gas rates by 0.03 percent — or3/100th of 1 percent. The commis-sion is expected to review the pro-posal Sept. 30.

The adjustment reflects the dif-ferences between the costs and therevenues collected during the pastyear to fund the Home EnergyLifeline Program, or HELP, and asmall increase in total funding.

If the state approves the increas-es, a typical monthly electricity bill— based on 1,000 kilowatt-hoursof electricity — is projected toincrease by 4 cents per month,bringing the total monthly averageelectric bill to $99.68.

For a typical household naturalgas bill — based on 68 therms of

natural gas — the increase is pro-jected to be 3 cents per month,bringing the total monthly averagebill to $81.35.

Established in 2002, HELP isadministered by 12 communityaction agencies and serves resi-dents in the Bellevue-based utility’s11-county Washington servicearea, provides bill-payment assis-tance to more than 25,000 cus-tomers and families each year.

Depending on income andhousehold size, a qualified low-income customer can receive billcredits totaling up to $1,000 fromHELP. The average grant amount-ed to about $400 per householdduring the 2009-10 winter heatingseason.

In addition to HELP, the federalgovernment offers home-heatingassistance through the LowIncome Home Energy AssistanceProgram, or LIHEAP.

From October 2009 through July2010, more than 59,000 qualifiedlow-income PSE customersthroughout the service areareceived grants totaling almost $25million — $13.5 million in LIHEAPand $11.3 million in HELP.

The field in the search for a cityadministrator has narrowed,though officials plan to remaintight-lipped about the choice untilhe accepts the offer.

City staffers, residents and com-munity leaders met and scruti-nized the five finalists last week,then offered recommendations toMayor Ava Frisinger. The adminis-trator serves as the No. 2 official inmunicipal government.

The finalists included ThurstonCounty Manager Donald Krupp,San Juan County Administrator

Pete Rose, Yakima Assistant CityManager David Zabell, Lake ForestPark City Administrator DavidCline and Robert Harrison, the citymanager in Wyoming, Ohio.

“Any one of these folks have theskills, talents and abilities to do thejob,” Bellevue headhunter GregProthman said.

The city hired Prothman in latespring after longtime CityAdministrator Leon Kos retired.The recruiter sent letters tobetween 800 and 900 municipalofficials — or, as Prothman said,

Fall Instruction

By Laura GeggelIssaquah Press reporter

Traffic was snarled in Issaquahfor hours after a flatbed tractor-trailer carrying a load of I-beamsoverturned on Highlands DriveNortheast at Interstate 90’s Exit18, scattering I-beams across theoverpass.

The accident occurred at 5:07p.m. Sept. 7 in the middle of theafternoon commute.

Police and fire agencies closedthe interstate for 40 minutes atExit 18, causing traffic headingeast to back up for about sevenmiles, to near Exit 11.

Initially, police did not allow driv-ers onto eastbound I-90 at FrontStreet North either, causing trafficto back up throughout Issaquah.Police later opened the interstate,but traffic still crawled more thantwo hours after the accident.

The Sound Delivery Services Inc.driver, 51-year-old GerardDumont, was headed to the under-construction Swedish MedicalCenter campus in the IssaquahHighlands, when the tractor-traileroverturned.

Troopers said speed and a wetroadway might have contributed tothe incident. In addition, the loadof steel I-beams might have beenimproperly secured, WashingtonState Patrol spokesman JasonGreer said.

Each I-beam weighs between800 pounds and 1,500 pounds,depending on its length, Greer

said. One of the I-beams went overthe barrier and was teetering onthe overpass over I-90.

“The only thing keeping it upwas a Washington Department ofTransportation traffic camera,”Greer said.

EFR worked with theWashington State Patrol, theIssaquah Police Department andthe state Department ofTransportation, closing I-90 forabout a half-hour while a tow truck

worked to dislodge the beam stuckover the barricade.

The tractor-trailer also had adiesel fuel leak, and firefighters atthe scene poured sand aroundstorm drains to keep the fuel fromrunning into it. A sheen of fuelcould be seen on the roadway fromthe truck all the way down to thebottom of the exit ramp.

EFR called the state Departmentof Ecology to make sure there wereno issues with the fuel leak, espe-

cially because it was raining,Eastside Fire & Rescue BattalionChief Glenn Huffman said.

There were no injuries, he said. A tow truck flipped the truck, a

1997 Freightliner tractor, back onits wheels and a forklift helpedreload the scattered I-beams ontothe truck for removal.

�The 2010 Free Time fall recre-ation guide incorrectly listed theticket price for “Women’s Voices,Women’s Votes” event at 1:30 p.m.Oct. 16 at the Train Depot Museum.

Tickets are $5 for members ofsponsoring organizations and $7for nonmembers. Tickets are avail-able at www.issaquahhistory.org.�An Aug. 25 article, “CougarMountain wildlands feature 36miles of exploration,” failed to note

that the clay pit mine is off limits tohikers, according to the property’soperator, Mutual Materials Co. Theaccess road leading to the clay pitdoes have some signage, but acompany representative recentlysaid it may add more signs to warn

hikers in the area. “Please enjoy your visit to the

park and have fun exploring themany miles of trails, but please donot go into or near the clay pititself,” said George Beamer, ofMutual Materials Co.

statewide campaign, urged herhusband to run.

“Dino is so called to this, and itwould have been selfish of me tokeep him at home,” she said.

Familiar terrainIssaquah has served as a

springboard in the 18 years sinceRossi ran — and lost — to repre-sent the community in Olympia.

The novice candidate lost astate Senate race to DemocratKathleen Drew in 1992. In aturnaround, Rossi unseated Drewfour years later.

In the state Senate, Rossiattracted attention as the archi-tect of the state budget in 2003.The state faced a $2.3 billionshortfall, and Rossi reached outto Democrats in order to enactdeep spending cuts.

“I found when it really was cru-cial, that it was really importantto try to bring people together,then they knew I’d always beenhonest with them,” he said.“They knew where I came from,where I was going to go with leg-islation. So, there were no sur-prises for anybody.”

Through the statewide cam-paigns since, Rossi has deployedthe message countless times atfundraisers, Rotary Club meet-ings, parades, Labor Day picnics,inside American Legion halls andto newspaper editorial boards.

“The secret to my success inOlympia — which is the way thatI look at all of these things — is, Inever cared if I got re-elected,”he said. “I was happy before I gotinto politics. I figured I’d behappy after. It’s very freeing. So,you can figure out what you thinkis right and go do it.”

Slade Gorton, the lastRepublican elected to the Senatefrom the Evergreen State, saidthe affable Rossi has the person-ality and the résumé to appeal toindependent-minded voters.

“He isn’t harsh or hot or intol-erant,” Gorton said. “He seemslike the kind of person who wouldlisten.”

Family mattersThe always-on-message Rossi

talks a lot about the Americandream.

The future state senator had ablue-collar upbringing inMountlake Terrace by parents hedescribed as “‘Scoop’ JacksonDemocrats” in the mold of thelate Washington senator.

Rossi earned tuition money asa Seattle University studentthrough odd jobs, including stintsin construction and as a janitor atthe Space Needle.

The business student turned tothe Republican Party in 1980,attracted in part by the cheerfulconservatism of Ronald Reagan.

Politics beckoned not long afterRossi, Terry and infant daughterJuliauna relocated from Magnoliato Klahanie. The family later set-tled in Sammamish.

Then came the statehousecampaigns. Rossi launched bothgubernatorial bids from VillageTheatre in downtown Issaquah.

Dino and Terry Rossi learned

during the 1992 state Senate racejust how difficult a campaignschedule could be for a family.

“We are the type of family thatlikes to have dinner together everynight at 6:30,” Terry Rossi said.

But dinner together seldom fitsinto the 12- to 14-hour days Rossilogs crisscrossing Washingtonfrom Port Angeles to Pullman. So,the candidate tries to sit down forbreakfast with the family, orsome of the children join Rossi onthe trail.

“Politics stuff, this all comesand goes,” he said. “You have tomaintain your family.”

Rossi also sprinkles kids-say-the-darnedest-things observa-tions into campaign discussions.Take the exchange he and sonJoseph had before dad enteredthe Senate bout:

“I said, ‘Well, Joseph, they’regoing to tell the same lies aboutdad on TV again if I do this,’” theelder Rossi recalled. “He says,‘Yeah, dad, it’s just like juniorhigh.’ I almost drove off the roadwhen he said that.”

Deep rootsLuke Esser, a former state sen-

ator and current state GOP chair-man, said Rossi has a compellingbiography — a strong sellingpoint in the neck-and-neck raceagainst Murray.

“Sometimes, I think Dino is shyor maybe a bit too humble abouttalking about his background,”Esser said. “He has a great storyto tell.”

On the stump, Rossi repeats ahandful of the stories, some time-worn, and others fresh.

Perhaps the relative the candi-date discusses the most on thecampaign trail is grandfatherSilvino Rossi, a turn-of-the-20th-century Black Diamond coalminer and immigrant fromTaranta Peligna, Italy.

Grandparents Silvino andConcetta Rossi “came herebecause they thought it could bea better place for themselves,their children and their grand-children — the idea that youcould rise to whatever level yourtalent or work ethic would takeyou, that their grandson couldwork his way through college asa janitor and become successfulin the commercial real estatebusiness and become a state sen-ator,” Dino Rossi said. “That’s allpart of the American dream nar-rative that I think a lot of peoplesense is slipping away.”

Rossi — immaculately dressedin a navy blazer and wingtips athis threadbare campaign head-quarters in a Bellevue office park— telegraphs success, despite theoutcomes in both gubernatorialraces.

Rich Thrasher, a Sammamishbusinessman and Rossi familyfriend for a decade, said the loss-es to Gregoire had a longer-last-ing effect on supporters than onRossi.

“I think we were all more madthan he was,” Thrasher said. “Ibelieve he just kind of went abouthis business.”

Rossi could rise from the politi-cal graveyard yet. The currentrace is different, he said, due to“huge headwinds” in a GOP-friendly election cycle and volatileelectorate. If not, then the subur-ban dad could settle into the oldroutine.

“What’s the worst case sce-nario? More time with my won-derful wife and my beautiful chil-dren?” Rossi said. “Well, thatworks.”

every city administrator or manag-er in comparable-sized cities in the11 Western states. Prothman alsoadvertised the position online.

Prothman and Frisinger culledthe stack of 50 applications to thefinalists.

The men gathered at TibbettsCreek Manor on Sept. 7 to meetcity residents and officials, and toanswer impromptu questions fromProthman. Frisinger released thenames of the finalists the previousday, after a summerlong search.

“As much as we think we’rescouting them, they’re scouting usnow, too, because the really talent-ed manager knows that it’s a mar-riage,” Prothman said.

Frisinger said she hopes to hirean administrator by next month.The position requires City Councilapproval. The next administrator

stands to earn $124,500 to$158,916 — plus benefits.

Cline, the Lake Forest Parkadministrator, recalled growing upnear Issaquah as No. 9 of 10 chil-dren.

“From an early age, I knew Iwanted to be a city manager or cityadministrator,” he told the TibbettsCreek Manor crowd.

Cline discussed the effort to pre-serve the tree canopy in LakeForest Park, and balance commer-cial demands in the bedroom com-munity.

Cline has served as the adminis-trator in Lake Forest Park in NorthKing County since May 2007.

Harrison, the city manager inCincinnati suburb Wyoming, said acity administrator must remaingrounded.

“You need to be humble in thisbusiness, because there are plentyof opportunities to be humbled,”he said.

Krupp, the Thurston Countymanager since July 2001, said hehoped to return to municipal gov-ernment after service at the county

and state levels.“I’m ready to work for a city

that’s got some great opportunitiesfor doing some really wonderfulthings,” he said.

Since 2005, Zabell has served asdeputy to Yakima City ManagerDick Zais, the longest-serving cityadministrator or manager in thestate. Kos held the title until heretired in late April.

Zabell praised the City Councilfor a recent decision to preserveTiger Mountain land amid protestsfrom residents.

“Too much nowadays in localgovernment, people cut and run,”he said. “To see that kind ofcourage and that type of commit-ment to doing the right thing, thatsays a lot about your community.I’d like to be part of that.”

Rose, a former Woodinville citymanager, has served in the top SanJuan County post since 2006.

“My heart is in city work,” hetold the Tibbetts Creek Manoraudience.

The next morning, the candi-dates headed into daylong inter-

views after meeting elected lead-ers, municipal department chiefsand community members.

The pressure-cooker phase forthe finalists included closed-doorinterviews with city departmentchiefs and a 10-person communitypanel appointed by the mayor.Finalists also toured the city.

Some of the finalists in theIssaquah city administrator searchalso made the cut in a similarsearch in Oregon.

Rose and Harrison reached thefinal round in the ongoingMilwaukie, Ore., city managersearch.

Milwaukie leaders and residentsmet and questioned five candidatesSept. 2-3. Prothman is in charge ofthe searches in the Portland sub-urb and Issaquah.

The practice is common for can-didates to be part of the searchprocess in multiple cities at thesame time.

Drivers avoiding center lanecause state Route 900 backups

Not enough drivers use the centerlane on the state Route 900 over-pass at Interstate 90, causing con-struction-related traffic backups.

The city Public Works EngineeringDepartment and the stateDepartment of Transportationtweaked traffic-signal timing throughthe corridor to address the conges-tion. The agencies made changes totravel lanes in order to accommodateconstruction of a pedestrian connec-

tor across the interstate.Despite the changes, backups

often occur during mid-day andduring the afternoon commutealong northbound state Route 900.The problem: Many drivers do notuse the lane closest to the center-line, causing blockages at nearbyintersections.

City staffers plan to track thetraffic and make adjustments toensure smooth travel through thecorridor.

Construction on the almost $6million connector started inAugust. Plans call for a separate12-foot-wide pedestrian bridgeacross the westbound I-90 on-ramps and modifications to theexisting state Route 900 overpassto install a 10-foot-wide pedestriancrossing. The project should be

completed by April 2011.

Finance staffers receive awardIssaquah city finance officials

have received the prestigiousProfessional Finance Officer awardfor 2010 from the WashingtonFinancial Officers Association.

Finance Director Jim Blake, UtilityServices Coordinator Heidi Naglerand Financial Services SupervisorRoxanne Hagood received the award.

The annual honor recognizesachievements of professional serv-ice, and ongoing continuing educa-tion and training.

The financial officers group is aprofessional association comprisedof finance officers from Washingtontowns, cities, counties, state agen-cies and other governments.

needy, and singled out Meier forher service.

“The executive director hasprovided 20 years of continuousservice and is dedicated to thepeople she serves through thefood and clothing bank,” thereport states. “She is wellrespected and liked by staff, vol-unteers and clients.”

The report suggested that theexecutive director role be rede-fined. Consultants called for the

manager to spend less timeinvolved in collecting, shelving andmanaging donations and moretime on fundraising, goal settingand community outreach.

In addition, the report recom-mended better measures to referclients to additional aid programs,manage volunteers and writtenprocedures to outline accounting,human resources, volunteer coor-dination and other day-to-daytasks. The report also said the food

bank needed to foster better rela-tionships with other nonprofitorganizations.

Williams said the food bank hadtackled the “low-hanging fruit”recommended in the Moss Adamsreport, and had started to deter-mine how to address some of themore difficult issues.

Another year has come and gone and test resultsrelated to No Child Left Behind have been re-leased. Seven schools in the Issaquah SchoolDistrict are now considered “failing” — Is-saquah Valley Elementary, Grand Ridge Elemen-

tary, Briarwood Elementary, Beaver Lake Middle, IssaquahMiddle, Issaquah High and Liberty High. But before you con-sider moving your child to a different school, or your familyto a new district, consider this.

The distinction is virtually meaningless.The way the law is structured, it slices the student body of

each school into slivers — mostly along racial lines, but alsoincluding special categories for children with special needsor who are just learning English.

A percentage of students in each of these sub-groups mustbe proficient on the test for the school as a whole to be consid-ered passing. Likewise, if enough students in one sub-groupdon’t pass the test, the school is failing, even if 100 percent ofthe students in all the other groups do make the grade.

The system seems largely set up to create failure. In a fewyears, every student will have to pass the test in order forthe school to be considered a passing school. Yes, by 2014,schools will have to achieve a 100 percent pass rate.

We’re not statisticians, but common sense tells us that a100 percent “pass” rate is impossible. In practical terms, thismeans that a single child (with a runny nose or raging hor-mones) could have a bad day on a single test, and the entireschool would be considered failing as a result.

The idea behind the No Child Left Behind law was ad-mirable. It has helped focus attention on historically under-served student populations and made educators think hardabout how to reach all of their students.

But the law is rapidly outliving its usefulness. Once allschools are failing, then what? The term will lose its mean-ing and no longer motivate learning communities to im-prove, since everyone will be failing no matter what they do.

Congress needs to overhaul this law long before we reachthat threshold. Educators must find ways to continue to pushstudent achievement forward without unrealistic goals.

No Child Left Behindneeds rewriting

City manager

Why does city need a new administratorwhen it already has a full-time mayor?

I usually see things differently, so thereshould be no surprise that the article “City in-vites input as mayor prepares to hire adminis-trator” (Sept. 1), caught my attention.

Issaquah has what is known as a “strongmayor” form of city government, so ourmayor is elected by the voters to be the “chiefexecutive and administrative officer of thecity...” The other alternative is the “city man-ager” form, where the mayor is a figureheadposition and the City Council hires a citymanager to run the day-to-day staff func-tions.

In the days when Issaquah’s mayor was a“part-time” position, it made sense to have acity administrator to coordinate the activitiesof the staff. Then, back in the day, MayorRowan Hinds created the position of assistantcity administrator, though I have never foundwhere the City Council authorized thatchange. In 2001, the mayor’s job was officiallychanged to a “full-time” position by AgendaBills 4678 and 4721, with pay and benefits tomatch. The mayor’s salary was again in-creased in 2007, by Agenda Bill 5568, to$84,000 per year.

So, why are we hiring a new city administra-tor to do the work of a city manager when wehave elected a “full-time” “strong mayor” to dothat work? Did anyone read about Bell, Calif.,recently?

But then, as I said, I usually see things differ-ently.

Park Pointe

Council was responsive to overwhelmingdemand on land swap proposition

Contrary to the opinion of Matthew Barry,that our City Council ignored “overwhelmingopposition” at its latest hearing on a land swapto prevent developing Park Pointe, I believethat the council was in fact very responsive towhat the people of Issaquah have been askingfrom the very beginning of this issue.

Mr. Barry seems to forget there was “over-whelming opposition” to the development ofPark Pointe and the desecration of Tiger Moun-tain. People turned out in droves, meeting aftermeeting, to vigorously protest this develop-ment. In response to what was clearly the de-sire of the people of Issaquah, the mayor andcouncil worked very hard to find a way to stopPark Pointe — another cluster housing devel-opment like Talus and the highlands.

So, this was no “sham” public hearing. Thecouncil acted upon what Issaquah residents(outside the highlands) wanted.

The only question remaining is: Could theland swap have been arranged in any other lo-cation? It was asked, and the answer was thatno other opportunity was available. So, thecouncil chose to develop further an area that isalready highly developed and to preserve amuch-needed pristine mountain slope. And Ibelieve council members should be commendedfor their good work and courageous decision.

All that said, highlands residents neverthe-less expressed important concerns and needs.As the details are worked out when the land-swap deal proceeds, it is very important thatPort Blakely take those concerns into consider-ation and make adjustments accordingly.

Second Amendment

Freedom of religion has alwaysbeen priority No. 1 in America

Hats off to Greg Farrar! As president of theGreater Seattle Chapter of Americans Unitedfor Separation of Church and State — and anIssaquah resident — I couldn’t agree with hiscolumn more. Freedom of religion is “freedomNo. 1” and it has been perhaps the greatestfoundation stone of American democracy.

Some people today don’t realize that our na-tion was substantially founded by people flee-ing religious persecution in their birth coun-tries, for example, the Pilgrims, the Puritans,the Quakers and the Catholics. Indeed, in thedebate among the colonies about ratifying theU.S. Constitution, a number of colonies de-manded a bill of rights, and chief among them,protection of freedom of religion.

For 63 years, Americans United has been theonly organization in America with the sole pur-pose of defending the first freedom named inthe First Amendment: “Congress shall make nolaw respecting an establishment of religion, orprohibiting the free exercise thereof.” It hasn’talways been easy, as there are always thosewho want to impose their religious beliefs onothers or prohibit others from practicing theirreligion, including through government action.But the history of our nation shows that reli-gious toleration is always the wisest course.

Anyone who would like to know more aboutthe history of religious freedom in America orwould like to join the cause can [email protected].

Issaquah makes cameoappearance in book

I’ve been reading bookslately like they’re going outof style. (With all the e-bookreaders on the market, theyjust might be.)

I’ve read the gamut, from biog-raphies (Ozzy Osborne) and so-cial commentary (The Obama Di-aries) to historical fiction (theTemeraire series, featuring adragon air corps during theNapoleonic wars) and nonfiction(“Blacklisted by History: The Un-told Story of Senator Joseph Mc-Carthy,” fascinating).

But it’s urban fantasy that haskept my eyes glued the most tothe printed page. Unfortunately, Iwas getting a little burned out onvampires and werewolves in theoversaturated market of fantasti-cal creatures in modern times.

So, I was pleasantly surprisedto find a new novel with a plot re-volving around Norse mythologyand a protagonist normally rele-gated to sidekick status in otherfantasy novels — the blacksmith.

I was further surprised the set-ting for “Black Blade Blues,” byfirst-time novelist J.A. Pitts, wasthe Seattle area. It had to bewritten by a local author as itfeatured specific locales fromEverett to Kent.

Then, to my total shock anddelight, the main character goesfor a run, parking in Gilman Vil-lage, in front of the White HorseToy Store, and heads off downthe East Lake Sammamish Trail

to Redmond. Now, I had

to track downthe author.

My firstsurprise was,with the ur-ban fantasymarket cor-nered by fe-male authors,J.A. Pitts is ac-tually John Pitts— a Kentuckytransplant, liv-ing in Bellevue with his wife andtwo children, toiling in his dayjob as a computer consultant.

The nom de plume was actu-ally a suggestion by the pub-lisher, Pitts said.

“They could call me Susie forall I care, as long as the checkclears,” he said.

His debut novel, “Black BladeBlues,” is based upon one ofPitts’ several short stories. Its de-velopment progression startedwith a writing group assignmentto develop a story about a famoussword. While others went the ob-vious route with Excalibur, Pittschose Gram from Norse mythol-ogy, the famous blade that Sigurdused to slay the dragon Fafnir.

Next, Pitts crafted a protago-nist, Sarah, a lesbian blacksmithwho unknowingly re-forges the

FROM THE WEB�Proposed Issaquah Highlands dog park

That Bark Park “is too far for many highlands resi-dents to walk to from home” is not a reason for anotherdog park in the highlands. Bark Park is too far for us towalk to from Olde Town! Perhaps we can take our dogon the freebee bus that goes to the highlands? Where isour dog park in the lowlands of Issaquah? Perhaps weshould be content to walk our dogs in front of the manyart galleries and restaurants on Front Street?

East Lake Sammamish TrailI oppose further expansion of the East Lake Sam-

mamish Trail; it’s unnecessary to lay down asphalt andwiden the trail. I’m on the trail nearly every day and it’sheavily used by both bicyclists and pedestrians whomanage just fine. There will be a negative impact on thewildlife in the area that feeds on the streams along thetrail that you intend to fill with asphalt.

Expanding the wetlands in Lake Sammamish StatePark will not benefit the wildlife that lives on theplateau along East Lake Sammamish and relies onthe streams. What do you think the wildlife is going todo — relocate to the park?

It’s bad enough that there’s no passage for wildlifeto get from the plateau to the lake. A few weeks ago, Isaw a female duck with her six ducklings franticallystruggling to get beyond the concrete barriers alongthe west side of East Lake Sammamish to thestreams. Once you cover them up, the ducks will haveno place to go; they certainly cannot get to the lakewith the wall-to-wall housing along its shoreline.

This is, in effect, a death sentence for indigenouswildlife on the Eastside and a shortsighted legisla-tive effort to alter the effective balance in the nameof “progress.”

Smart Tips from a Dentist, who for 20 years, “works for his patients.”

Complimentary Second OpinionIncluding Complimentary X-Ray

(no charge to you or your insurance provider)

5. “Same Faces.” Building relationships within the same dental staff can be rewarding.

6. “Find a dental practice who builds on referrals more than fees.” Some beautiful dental offices are willing to keep their fees lower than most, because they grow their patient base with referrals, and not on high fees.

7. “PPO’S.” Dental offices enrolled with PPO’s have less out of pocket costs.

8. “PPO’s using PPO’s.” Find a dental office that offers you the option to see specialists

who also participate in your PPO.

1. “Seek out a Second Opinion”. Not all dentists think the same way. Find a dentist who

won’t charge to offer a second opinion.

2. “You need to know that there are always multiple ways to address or fix a dental problem.” Find a dentist who outlines multiple options to help resolve your dental issues.

3. “Start somewhere.” Not all dentistry needs to be done tomorrow. Find a dentist willing to

create a multi-year approach maximizing your dental insurance, possibly saving your

“out of pocket dollars”.

4. “Up the Homecare.” In a questionable economy, you and your family should be practicing

your best homecare ever. To save money and stay out of the office, listen to the broken record

your dental staff is singing, and “floss, floss, floss.”

Then, he mapped out the setting.“I decided if I was going to write

about a fantasy work within amodern setting, why not make itSeattle?” Pitts said. “There’s a lotof magic in this area.”

The tale just fit, he said, afterhaving driven around much of theregion. Just be careful when read-ing the novel about spots youthink you might recognize. I fellinto that trap when I thought Iknew exactly which out-of-the-way Mexican restaurant in Everetthe set a scene in.

“Totally made that one up,” heconfided.

But the Issaquah location wasreal. Pitts needed a lengthy trailfor Sarah to run down to workthrough a personal crisis. Lookingat a map, Pitts discovered the EastLake Sammamish Trail was theperfect length for her to exhaustherself by the time she reachedMarymoor Park in Redmond.

However, Pitts discovered theperils of using real locations in awork of fiction. He admits he hada “brain fart” when he wrote“Cascade Peninsula” instead of“Olympic Peninsula.”

It kills him that, he said, that af-ter all of the research he did, fromthe blacksmith profession to me-dieval re-enactors from the Societyfor Creative Anachronism, he gets aregional geographical name wrongand none of his team of editors,publishers or friends caught it.

Regardless of the small snafu,Pitts has penned a well-crafted de-but novel, receiving overwhelmingfeedback leaving readers eagerlyanticipating more.

“For my next book,” he said,“everyone I know wants to be in itand says, ‘Can I die?’”

As he pours over maps to dis-cover the next out-of-the way loca-tion to set an epic battle, Pitts hasoutlined the plot all the waythrough the fifth installment, withbook two already in the pub-lisher’s hands. If ever Pitts needs atemplate for a local reporter, he’sgot my number.

Though the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administrationcould not fund the entire $3 millioncost for a proposed fish passagenear the Issaquah SalmonHatchery, the federal agency hasagreed to grant $172,375 to designand permit the project.

The state Department of Fishand Wildlife — the hatchery ownerand operator — has agreed tomatch the NOAA grant, bringingthe total to $344,750.

City Council members acceptedthe NOAA grant Sept. 7; the statemoney must be handled through aseparate process.

Plans call for the aging damupstream from the hatchery to bedemolished and replaced by aseries of boulder weirs in Issaquah

Creek. The project also includesreplacement of the water-supplyintake from the creek to the hatch-ery.

Built in the 1930s and over-hauled in the 1960s, the dam actsas a barrier for salmon and otherfish to 11 miles of Issaquah Creekand tributary habitat upstream.Many adult salmon becomemarooned and die each year whenthe fish jump onto the shelf-likeconcrete apron at the base of thedam.

“While some fish get past, mostof them get beached on the shelfthat’s part of the dam,” GestinSuttle, executive director of thenonprofit Friends of the IssaquahSalmon Hatchery, said after thecouncil accepted the grant.

The total cost to design, permitand construct the weir and intakecould reach $4 million. The city

applied for a $3 million grant inNovember 2009. In late August,NOAA informed the city about thegrant allocation.

The agency only funds construc-tion for projects after design andpermitting has been completed.Issaquah officials agreed to acceptthe grant money to completedesign in order to make the project“shovel ready” and eligible forfuture NOAA dollars.

“We’re going to be in a muchbetter position,” city Surface WaterManager Kerry Ritland said.

The city has received grant dol-lars to design the updated fish pas-sage piecemeal.

Issaquah received a $400,000Salmon Recovery Funding Boardgrant from the state Recreationand Conservation Office in March2008. The city, state Department ofFish and Wildlife, local agencies

and FISH provided the required 15percent match for the grant.

In addition to the dam blockingsalmon from reaching upstreamhabitat, the hatchery has also hadproblems related to the intake.

Nearly 200,000 coho salmondied at the hatchery in November2006 after leaves blocked theintake, cutting water flow to thehatchery and causing the water’sdissolved-oxygen content to fall toolow for the number of fish in thepond.

The updated intake designincludes airburst systems toremove debris from the intakescreens, plus measures to limit theamount of sediment flowing intothe hatchery.


City accepts NOAA grant for fish passageBats and birds received places to

roost along Pickering Trail as partof a summer Boy Scout project.

Scouts built four bat housesand six birdhouses along the trailnear Issaquah Creek.

The bat houses — built by LarsBoettcher as he worked towardEagle Scout status — house littlebrown bats, a common species inKing County. Using donationsand grant dollars, he built the bathouses to state Department ofFish and Wildlife standards forthe species.

In addition, Boettcher and histroop installed six birdhouses forcavity nesting birds — flickersand downy woodpeckers — alongthe trail.

Scout Sean Morris built thebirdhouses and almost 40 othersfor the city Parks & Recreation

Department as part of his EagleScout project. Plans call for theother birdhouses to be installedon city open space and naturalareas in preparation for nextspring.

Bats serve as important envi-ronmental indicators and insect-control agents. For instance, asingle little brown bat can eatseveral hundred mosquitoes eachnight. In a single summer, a batcan eat thousands of night-flyingpests.

The city has asked trail usersnot to disturb the roosting bats.During the winter, bats migrate towarmer climates or hibernate ina roost by living off of fat built upduring the summer. If disturbed,a hibernating bat uses the fatreserve, putting the animal indanger.

Scouts add bat andbirdhouses along trail

County adds safety featuresnear Briarwood, Pacific Cascade

King County crews completedpedestrian-safety projects nearBriarwood Elementary School andPacific Cascade Middle School in timefor students to return to campus.

The county Road ServicesDivision installed electronic speedlimit signs along 168th AvenueSoutheast and Southeast 314thStreet near Briarwood. The signsuse solar power to operate.

Near Pacific Cascade, the RoadServices Division added a curb,gutter and sidewalk to SoutheastIssaquah-Fall City Road, plus elec-tronic speed limit signs.

Classes started Aug. 31 in theIssaquah School District.

“Our department works withmore than 15 districts that have

schools in unincorporated areasof the county to keep students safeas they walk or bike to school,”Road Services Division ManagerLinda Dougherty said in a newsrelease. “It’s a healthy habit forstudents, and it helps reduce traf-fic congestion around theschools.”

Dougherty said the RoadDivision works with school districttransportation officials and schoolprincipals to make walking routessafer in unincorporated KingCounty.

The division has focused onpaving road shoulders and addingcurbs to create walking pathsalongside the roadway, addingflashing lights to remind motoristsabout schoolchildren, and re-strip-ing crosswalks and other roadmarkings near schools.

When Cullen Rogers fell ill,the Issaquah communityreached forward to embracehim with support. Now, Rogerswants to help other children liv-ing with life-threatening condi-tions by fundraising for theMake-A-Wish Foundation.

At age 12, Rogers, a Bothellresident, found his fingers hurthim. His parents thought he hadsprained them and told him tobe more careful during gymclass. But a later X-ray showedno sprain, and anti-inflamma-tory medication didn’t help hisfingers recover.

By the time a specialist atSeattle Children’s diagnosed himwith juvenile rheumatoid arthri-tis, the disease had spread to hislimbs, knees, wrists and ankles.

“It was everywhere,” hismother, Shelley Rogers, said.

Doctors prescribed him moreaggressive medication, butCullen still had to stop playingbaseball and basketball.

“He wasn’t able to swing thebat.” Shelley Rogers said. “His life

changed in a few months’ timefrom being really active to havinglots of doctors’ appointments.”

Then, life threw him anothercurveball. Doctors diagnosedhim with severe obstructive pul-monary disease, meaning hehad trouble getting air out of hislungs. He needed a double lungtransplant to survive, andmiraculously, within 36 hours ofgetting on the United Networkfor Organ Sharing, Cullen founda match. He and his parentsflew to Stanford Hospital, andCullen got a new pair of lungs inJanuary 2008, when he was 13.

Lisa Reinitz, of Issaquah, andher sisters, helped their nephewby babysitting his twin sisterswhen he and his parents stayedin California.

As Cullen’s medical dramaunfolded, Cullen found supportfrom his immediate family inBothell and Issaquah, and evenIssaquah well-wishers he hadnever met.

Issaquah lends a handIssaquah resident Tom

Cochran regularly receives e-mails from his sister-in-law,asking him to pray for peoplefacing challenges or illness.When he heard about CullenRogers’ story in fall 2008, hedecided to share it with histhird-grade Sunday school classat St. Joseph Catholic Churchand School.

“I thought they could proba-bly relate to that, to someonewho was having trouble,”Cochran said.

He mentioned it to his mother,another St. Joseph member, andshe surprised him, saying sheknew Cullen’s grandparents,who also go to the Issaquahchurch. At the next service,Cochran met Dorothy Rogers,Cullen’s grandmother.

“She told me more of thestory about his arthritis andlungs,” Cochran said. “She said,‘It’s wonderful that the third-graders are learning about hisstory and praying for him.’ Isaid, ‘How about we send him aget-well banner?’”

From there, Cochran’s classbegan sending Cullen get-wellcards and paper snowflakeswhen it snowed in Issaquah, butnot in Stanford, where he wasrecovering.

“They started asking everyclass. It got to be where it wasnormal routine to have a reportabout how Cullen was doing,”Cochran said.

The world recently got a lotlarger for two Seattle Pacific Uni-versity juniors.

Issaquah residents HannahSherwood and Chrissy Hughes re-cently returned from a volunteermission to Indonesia, where theyhelped with community projects aslocals prepared for Ramadan, theIslamic month of fasting.

“I wanted to give back,” Hughessaid. “The motto at SPU is ‘engag-ing the culture and changing theworld,’ so I wanted to do that on abig scale.”

The mission trip was part ofSeattle Pacific Reachout Interna-tional, a short-term missions pro-gram for students supported bySPU’s John Perkins Center for Rec-onciliation, Leadership Training

and Community Development.Fifty students volunteered in ninecountries this summer through theSPRINT program.

Owen Sallee, coordinator forGlobal and Urban Involvement atthe John Perkins Center and staffadvisor for the SPRINT program,said SPRINT helps students “ex-pand their understanding of Godand the world” by engaging themin communities around the globe.

“Our hope is to help studentsdevelop cross-cultural compe-tency, grow in their awareness ofcommunity development practicesand learn from the example of lo-cal leaders who are deeply in-vested in their communities,”Sallee said.

But before taking off, Sherwoodand Hughes had some work to doin their own communities. They

sold tulips, held car washes andsent out support letters in order toraise funds for their trip.

They spent their month abroadisland hopping with a translator intow. On each island, Sherwoodand Hughes stayed with host fami-lies, sometimes in stilted housesraised over the surface of the wa-ter. Living with the locals was anexperience that allowed for inti-mate cultural exchanges. They dis-

cussed religion andculture, ate traditional Indonesianfood and even watched some tele-vision.

“The TV was on all the time,”Sherwood said. “So, their percep-tion of the West was Hollywood.For us, it was really cool, becausewe had the opportunity to break


Bridget considers herself astrong woman, so strong that shefound a way to save herself andher young son from her abusivehusband.

The two got help from the East-side Domestic Violence Program,and now Bridget is giving back bycycling with the Lakemont LadiesCycling Club during the annual Cy-cle the WAVE — Women AgainstViolence Everywhere — Issaquahbike ride.

It takes seven times for anabused woman to actually leaveher husband, Cycle the WAVE ridedirector Sharon Anderson said.

“I was on time five,” said Brid-get, who asked that her last namenot be used, because she lives inconfidential housing to protectherself and her son.

She lived with her husband for 10years and lived with multiple kindsof abuse: emotional, psychological,verbal, physical and financial.

“Things really changed for mewhen I had my son,” she said.

The family had lived in Seattle,but later moved to Las Vegas.Bridget said she had no phone, nocomputer and no car. Still, shefound a way to call emergencyshelters. Of all the shelters, thewomen at the EDVP were the mostcompassionate, Bridget said.

EDVP has served more than104,800 victims of domestic vio-lence since it opened in 1982. Forevery person the EDVP shelters, thenonprofit has to turn 18 away for fi-nancial reasons and limited space.

“I told my ex we were leaving tosee family. Otherwise, I wouldhave never gotten out,” she said.

Her family, relieved she was fi-nally leaving her husband, paidfor her plane ticket and picked herup from the airport. She met thedirector of the EDVP at anarranged location, and the direc-tor drove her to an emergencyshelter, where she stayed for onemonth with her son.

The shelter was not a place tosettle, but a place to help womenmake the break from their rela-tionships and learn about local re-sources.

“I compare it to an emergencyroom,” Bridget said, whose bed-room had a red button that woulddial the police. “It’s a secure feel-ing, but you’re always aware of

your situation.”At the shelter, she received bus

tickets, food, counseling andlearned about the Department ofSocial and Health Services andchild advocacy groups.

Her son, then 3, had begun toverbalize the abuse he had experi-enced.

“My husband would tell him togo punch me,” Bridget said. “Myson is so sensitive. I knew that forhis sake I had to leave.”

With the help of the EDVP, Brid-get moved to transitional housingand enrolled in Seattle CentralCommunity College’s social andhuman services program.

Now, she has custody of her sonand protection orders in place.She also has a 4.0 grade point av-erage and a full scholarship forthis year. Once she has her degree,Bridget said she wants to writegrants and work in legal advocacy.

Cycle the WAVEIn April, Bridget spoke at an

EDVP fundraiser, where she metIssaquah’s Anderson. Three yearsago, Anderson combined two ofher interests: the Rising Star Guildfor the Eastside Domestic ViolenceProgram and the Lakemont LadiesCycling Club.

The result, Cycle the WAVE, de-buted in 2008, with 253 ridersraising $23,000. Last year, partici-pation in the ride more than dou-bled, with 604 women fundraising$50,000.

Her goal for 2010 is 1,000 rid-ers bringing in $100,000.

The ride — not a race — inviteswomen to cycle 25, 40 or 62miles. Women from the area, in-cluding Eastside Fire & Rescueand Issaquah schools, pedalthroughout Issaquah for their sis-

Best friends and University ofWashington graduates BuddyWaddington and Kurtis Dane areputting their strength and persist-ence to the test with the hope ofraising $10,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The crazy part?They aspire to complete the

Ford Ironman Arizona 2010 onNov. 21, with no triathlon experi-ence as of yet. An Ironman is theultimate test of endurance, ac-cording to the team, with a 2.4mile swim, 112-mile bike ride,and a 26.2-mile run, all in a row.

Waddington, of Newcastle, de-scribed the plan as a “self-ap-pointed senior project,” in whichthey could use their marketingskills as business students toraise the money and the extratime they had as college studentsto train.

“Why don’t we do a crazy col-lege thing and do it for a goodcause?” he said.

Dane, of Renton, said he seesthe project as a way to mark thecompletion of college with posi-tive memories.

“A lot of the time, people willlook back on their college careerand think of drunken nights,” hesaid. “I want to look back andthink that I accomplished some-thing in my college years.”

The team, going by the nameBudandKurt, aims to representthe local area in supporting theMake-A-Wish Foundation ofAlaska, Montana, Northern Idahoand Washington. Their target,$10,000, is enough to grantwishes to two children with life-threatening medical conditions,Waddington said.

So far, they have raised just un-der $1,000 and are beginningtheir first real push for donationsand sponsorships.

Sponsors will have their logodisplayed on both the officialBudandKurt uniforms during theIronman, as well as the trainingclothes they will wear before therace. Individuals are encouragedto donate as well.

those stereotypes.” Sherwood and Hughes en-

gaged with the communitiesthrough service projects thatthey carried out on each islandthey visited. They helped repaira dock, taught English, extendeda terrace, built a retaining walland renovated a mosque.Women were not allowed towork on some of the projects, soSherwood and Hughes helped bygoing to the wells to fetch waterfor the men.

As Ramadan approached, theyassisted local communities inpreparing for the month of rever-ence. “We cleared out a ceme-tery,” Hughes said. During Ra-madan, “the Muslims on the is-land visit cemeteries to honor thedead, so we helped them getready for that.”

The students spent a lot oftime repairing things, but theyalso got a chance to build rela-tionships and have fun.

“One night we went shrimpingin the middle of the night,”Hughes said. “It’s what the fish-erman do there for a living. Wewent out at midnight and walkedthrough the water at low tideand caught the shrimp.”

There was also a jungle hike,complete with monkeys and ajump off a waterfall.

The volunteer mission was alesson in humility for Hughes.

“The people showed me howto be content with simplicity andreally embrace that, and not al-ways feel like you need to strivefor more,” she said.

For Sherwood, the importanceof basic needs was also magni-fied.

“I was able to understand fam-ilies and see that everybody, nomatter the language they speak,no matter the environment theyhave, that it all comes down tolove,” Sherwood said. “Every-body needs to be loved andneeds to give away love.”

“We want our community notjust to donate but to become apart of the team and the move-ment,” Waddington said.

While the team has yet to par-ticipate in a triathlon, Wadding-ton and Dane ran a marathon to-gether in under four hours andcompleted the Seattle to Portlandbicycle ride in one day this pastJuly. Their swimming experienceis limited at best, however, withthe LA Fitness swimming pool inRenton being their only place oftraining so far, Dane reported.

“Swimming is scary,”Waddington said. “Running isdefinitely our strong spot, butKurt is doing really well swim-ming wise.”

Battling shin splints and otherinjuries, they both train sevendays a week for two to fourhours each day, Dane said. Doc-tors tell him to rest, but he’s notcapable, he said.

Best friends since high school,the two graduated from the Uni-versity of Washington together inJune, and rather than enteringthe corporate world are followingtheir dream to build their ownsmall company. Working with an-other friend, Tyler Smith, theybuilt TBK Consulting, a market-ing and consulting firm that fo-cuses on social media marketing.

As for the Ironman, bothWaddington and Dane know thatthey have picked a difficult race,but they embrace the challenge,adding that it is worth the effortto support their community.

“I think being in an all-women’s ride is a great atmos-phere,” Lakemont Ladies cyclistLinda Brummett, of Mercer Is-land, said.

Tina Martinez, of Sammamish,agreed.

“We’re women who can helpwomen live the life they de-serve,” she said.

Graham Hunter, owner of Ve-loce Velo Bike Shop in downtownIssaquah, has sponsored the ridesince its inception. This year, hegave even more, donating a 24-speed Scott Speedster to Bridgetfor the ride. Cycle the WAVE sur-prised her with the bicycle dur-ing a TV interview with “NewDay Northwest” on KING 5.

Bridget is still cycling on air,admiring her new bike.

“It just made me almost tearup that the kids would think thatmuch about a young man thatthey didn’t even know,” DorothyRogers said.

“Every few weeks, I would geta ton of cards from the third-grade class,” Cullen said. “Itmeant a lot to know that peoplewere there with you every day,because it was hard.”

Cullen continued to receivesupport through his illness. Thesummer after his surgery, he re-ceived a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“When I found out from mydoctor that I was eligible forMake-A-Wish, I knew right away Iwanted to do the Seattle Marinersand meet Felix Hernandez andwatch the game,” Cullen said.

The day of the game, the sunshone, the Mariners beat theMinnesota Twins and Cullen gotsigned Mariners paraphernalia.

“It meant so much to me,”Cullen said. “It’s not just thewish, the wish is great. It justkind of boosts your spirit.

“Even before the wish, it givesyou something to look forwardto,” he added. “Before you makea wish, you’re just worryingabout your health and all of yourappointments.”

He started raising money forthe annual summer Make-A-Wish5K and even spoke at a Make-A-

Wish Foundation fundraiser.In 2009, he raised about

$1,200, and this year his teamhas raised about $6,300.

Cullen thanked his Issaquahsupporters and said he wouldcontinue to fundraise for thefoundation.

One in five teenagers is experi-encing slight hearing loss, accord-ing to a recent study of the na-tion’s youth.

Hearing loss can affectteenagers in more ways than one.In addition to asking people to re-peat themselves, it can compro-mise social development, commu-nication skills and educationalachievement, according to thestudy.

Published in the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association, thestudy compared teenage hearingloss from 1988-1994 and 2005-06,using data from the Third NationalHealth and Nutrition ExaminationSurvey.

The survey looked at youthsages 12-19 — 2,928 from 1988-1994 and 1,771 from 2005-06.

Data showed that hearing losshad increased significantly, fromabout 15 percent in 1988-1994 toabout 20 percent in 2005-06.

Those with hearing loss weremore likely to have trouble hear-ing high frequencies.

Linnea Peterson, an otolaryngol-ogist — an ear, nose and throatdoctor — who works atSwedish/Issaquah, said even slighthearing loss can affect people.

“If there is a lot of noise aroundyou and you have a mild high-fre-quency loss, you can have muchmore difficulty talking to someonenext to you, because you’ve lostsome of the sound, some of theclarity,” Peterson said.

People who have trouble hear-ing high-frequency sounds oftenlose sounds like S and T.

“The words start to get muddyand it’s a lot harder to under-stand,” Peterson said. “You hearthat they’re talking, you know thatthey’re right there, but you can’tinterpret it as well.”

The study also found thatteenagers tend to lose hearing inonly one ear. While this mightsound good — one is better thannone, after all — it can make hear-ing difficult, especially with high-frequency hearing loss.

Virginia Mason Issaquah oto-laryngologist Jamie Chang said the

body uses both ears to help pin-point the location of a sound.

“High frequency (loss) oftentimes can affect your ability to beable to identify where sound iscoming from,” Chang said.

People listening to loud musicor other loud noises can useearplugs or move away from thesound, Chang said. People whofeel pressure or hear ringing intheir ears should reduce theamount of noise they are hearing,she added.

Concerned parents can set vol-

ume controls on Apple iPods andiPhones by using the volume limitadjustment.

“We would encourage individu-als to be careful with how loudand how long they are exposed tonoise,” said Gary Curhan, thestudy’s senior author, of Brighamand Women's Hospital in Boston.

The study also found thatteenagers from families livingbelow the federal poverty thresh-old were more likely to havehearing loss. While they did notinvestigate the causes of thehearing loss, the study’s re-searchers did cite a 2010 Aus-tralian study linking hearing lossin children who use personal lis-tening devices.

Peterson said the best thing forparents to do was talk to theirchildren about hearing loss.

“I think, being the parent of ateenager myself, some of it ismaking sure the teenagers areaware of it,” she said, “becausewhen you’re an adolescent,you’re not thinking about whatyour hearing is going to be likewhen you’re 60, necessarily.”

Hearing through the ages

Hearing screenings begin theminute babies are born, Changsaid. When children enter ele-mentary school, their hearing istypically screened once a year.

Children develop language andsocial interactions in elementaryschool, and hearing screeningscan catch ear infections, waxbuildup or other maladies andhelp families seek medical atten-tion if necessary.

Most middle and high schoolchildren do not have regularhearing tests, but Chang saidolder children are more likely totell an adult if they are experienc-ing hearing problems.

Hearing decreases with age,but usually it takes time.

“Most changes happen later inadult life,” Chang said. “You’llhave 25-year-olds with the samehearing as they were when theywere 5.”

Depending on the type andseverity of hearing loss, a patientcould be a candidate for a hear-ing aid or a cochlear implant.

“There are some situationswhere there can be some recov-ery, but generally it is perma-nent,” Peterson said.

“If someone can hear it fromabout an arm’s length away, it’stoo loud,” she said.

Not all teenagers listen to loudmusic. Issaquah High School sen-ior Shannon Chen said she listensto classical music to help her con-

centrate on her homework. “It depends where I am,” Chen

said. “I usually don’t like my mu-sic cranked up to the point whereother people can hear it.”

Her friend Elaine Huang saidshe listens to her iPod Touch al-most everywhere: She plugs itinto speakers at home, listens onthe car ride to school, betweenclasses and on the bus ride home.

The music “gets me pumped,”she said. “The loudest I usuallyget is on the bus. I have a lot ofmiddle schoolers on the bus. Imake it louder so I can drown outtheir voices.”

But Peterson warned againstlistening to loud music that is tooloud for too long.

“I think that there are a lot oftimes where the world gets to beso noisy that you don’t realizethat the level has crept up to an

In the Sept. 10 battle betweenIssaquah and Liberty highschools, the game camedown to a matter of feet. Inthe second overtime, senior

Issaquah linebacker Nik Landdeckstripped senior Liberty runningback Chandler Jenkins near thegoal line, securing the Eagles’ vic-tory 27-21.

The match was the first betweenthe teams since 2007, as Issaquahgrew from a 3A to a 4A school.

The teams traded blowsthroughout the game, and Is-saquah struck first with a 2-yardtouchdown run by junior quarter-back Ethan Kalin, with 7 minutesand 32 seconds remaining in thefirst quarter.

Liberty struck back in the sec-ond quarter, when Jenkins inter-cepted a pass from Kalin at Is-saquah’s 35-yard line and ran itback for a touchdown, tying thegame at 7. Issaquah lined up for a

38-yard field-goal attempt with1:25 remaining in the half, butkicker and running back TaylorWyman’s kick fell short, leavingthe game tied at halftime.

“Going into halftime, we thoughtwe could have been up 28-0,”Wyman said. “We missed a lot ofbig plays, and we were destroyingthem on defense, but our offensedidn’t really finish on drives.”

Issaquah struck again in thethird quarter, with a touchdownpass from Kalin to receiver EvanPeterson with 2:08 left in the thirdquarter.

The fourth quarter kept fans onedge with a missed field-goal at-tempt by Liberty, an interception

by Issaquah’s Eric Rauch, a passinterference call against Liberty ona fourth and 14 attempt by Is-saquah from the Liberty 20, and ahigh snap on an Issaquah field-goal attempt.

Liberty came back to life whensenior quarterback Trey Wheelerscrambled through the backfieldand connected with sophomore re-ceiver Tynan Gilmore on a 56-yardpass play for a touchdown to tiethe game at 14 with 1:30 remain-ing in the game.

Liberty head coach SteveValach said Gilmore and otheryoung players stepped up tomake big plays in the absence ofsenior wide receiver Jake Bain-ton, who was out after dislocat-ing his shoulder against SkylineSept. 3.

Liberty’s offense took the fieldfirst in overtime, and Wheeler con-nected with sophomore receiverScott Dean on third and goal fromthe 14 for a touchdown. However,Issaquah running back Wyman re-sponded with a 25-yard touch-

down run, tying the game at 21and sending it to a second over-time.

Wyman ran for another touch-down in the second overtime, butmissed the extra point.

Liberty took the field andmarched its way to the 3-yardline, but Landdeck stripped theball on a first-and-goal attempt toend the game.

Members of the Liberty offensestood on the field stunned as Is-saquah’s bench and fans chargedthe field. Bennett charged the fieldas well, running about with hisarms spread wide above his head.

“I saw the ball roll on theground, there was a pile,” Bennettsaid. “Our kids started jumpingand when I saw the referee pointhis hand, I just thought, ‘Thankgod the night’s over.’”

However, he said mistakes madethe game closer than it shouldhave been.

“It’s a frustrating night for us,”Bennett said. “We felt like weshould be up three or four scores.I thought we just dominated theball game and just couldn’t put itaway in the red zone.”

Valach said the call was a toughone to swallow, at least at thetime.

“It’s hard when it kind of feelslike a judgment call that ends thegame,” he said. “But maybe itwasn’t. We might watch the filmand find out that wasn’t a judg-ment call, it was really a crystal-clear call.”

Liberty won 25-6 when theteams last met in 2007.

At halftime, Liberty held its firstHall of Fame ceremony. Inductedinto the Patriots’ Hall of Fame wasthe 1988 3A state championshipteam and the late Aaron Arm-strong, a star running back on theteam.

Issaquah has its home openerSept. 17 and will honor the lateGary Moore, the school’s headcoach for 28 years, with a specialdedication. The Eagles’ stadiumhas been renamed Gary MooreStadium. Moore passed away twoyears ago.

If anyone rooting for the SkylineHigh School girls swimming teamwas worried that it might not beas deep or thoroughly dominatingin 2010 as last year’s 4A statechampionship squad, coach SusanSimpkins seemed confident theSpartans will remain strong.

Although state champ and all-around powerhouse Andie Taylorgraduated, Skyline brings backpossibly more experienced youngswimmers than it knows what todo with. And while the 2009 teamwas 78 strong, the 2010 squad has92 swimmers, six of whom aredivers, Simpkins said.

If it wasn’t enough to returnconsistent district and state win-ners Nina Zook, Meghan O’Keefeand Maria Volodkevich, Skylinebrought on former Eastlake phe-nom Katie Kinnear to begin thefall. Kinnear, who has competedamong the best youth swimmersin the world, moved into the Sky-line attendance area last year.

“She’s an all-around swimmer,”Simpkins said.

As the team is larger than ever,captains Zook, Adrian D’Alo, KellyFreeman and Jackie Woods, allseniors, will have their hands fullhelping the girls stay focused onanother team state title. But first,they have to beat perennial power-house Garfield and swim fast inthe KingCo Conference and districtmeets.

The Spartans got their seasonoff to a winning start Sept. 7 bybeating Issaquah 95-72 at JuliusBoehm Pool.

The key is “staying focused andjust swimming well, so we can getto state,” Simpkins said. “If thegirls stay focused, we will have a

very strong season.”Volodkevich, a sophomore, won

two events and swam as a mem-ber of two relay teams that postedstate-qualifying times.

Skyline won the 200 medley re-lay and the 400 freestyle relay.The 200 medley relay team posteda time of 1:53.33 and the 400freestyle relay team won in3:47.36. Volodkevich, Kinnear, O’-Keefe and Zook made up both re-lays. O’Keefe, Zook and Volodke-vich were members of last year’sSkyline state-championship 400freestyle relay.

Volodkevich had a state-qualify-ing time in winning the 100breaststroke in 1:09.56. She wonthe 100 breaststroke at state lastyear, too. Volodkevich capturedthe 200 freestyle in a district-qual-ifying time of 2:00.83.

Kinnear won the 100 butterfly ina state-qualifying time of 56.01.

Freshman Stephanie Munoz,one of the promising newcomers

for Skyline this season, won the500 freestyle in a district-qualify-ing time of 5:29.76.

Issaquah sophomores KaylaFlaten and Stacy Maier eachposted state-qualifying times.Flaten won the 100 freestyle in44.29 and Maier captured the 100backstroke in 1:00.78. Both shouldimprove on last year’s efforts atthe state meet. Flaten finishedthird at state in the 100 freestyleand Maier was seventh in the 100backstroke.

Issaquah, which showedstrength in the relays at last year’sstate meet, had a state-qualifyingtime in winning the 200 freestylerelay in 1:45.89. Marit Borth,Maier, Kelly Herman and Flatenmade up the relay team. Last year,Maier, Borth and Flaten weremembers of the Eagles’ 200 med-ley relay that finished second atstate. Maier, Herman and Flatenwere on the 400 freestyle relayteam that finished third.

In last week’s meet against Sky-line, Maier, sophomore Kellie Lan-gan, Borth and Flaten took secondin the 200 medley relay.

Other first places for the Eaglescame from Borth in the 50freestyle and Jamie Elderkin indiving.

Patriots look to seniorsThe Liberty High School girls

swim team has phenomenal seniorleadership this year, and it willneed to rely on those experiencedswimmers to lead a team prima-rily made up of freshmen andsophomores.

The team’s top swimmer thisyear is senior Nicole Lecoq, whoqualified for the state swim meetin four events during the team’sfirst meet of the season Sept. 7against Mercer Island.

“It’s pretty amazing,” headcoach Kris Daughters said aboutLecoq’s performance.

Lecoq qualified for the statemeet in seven of eight events lastyear and hopes to qualify in all ofthem this year. Daughters saidLecoq is versatile enough in thepool that she should be able toreach that goal.

Lecoq is one of four senior cap-tains, and she has taken a leadingrole among her fellow captains.

“She’s channeled her energy tobeing a really good team leader,”Daughters said. “She’s gained a lotof confidence in the last fouryears.”

Another swimmer to watch isjunior Elise Tinseth.

“She is right in there withNicole,” Daughters said, addingthat Tinseth should qualify for thestate meet in at least four eventsthis year.

Junior Caitlin Duffner is sure tobe a threat as well, as is seniordiver Robin Bullock.

Every time Max Browne stepson the field, he takes a step for-ward.

There is something for SkylineHigh School’s quarterback tolearn, both when he succeedsand when he falls short.

Early in the Sept. 11 matchupwith Bellevue in Seattle’s Memor-ial Stadium, Browne faced plentyof adversity. His team trailed bytwo touchdowns and his offensestruggled to move the ball.

But the sophomore stayedsteady, rallying the Spartans,ranked No. 2 in Class 4A, pastthe Wolverines, 28-21.

“He grew because he just keptfighting,” said senior teammateKasen Williams, who caughteight passes for 94 yards and atouchdown. “Every single timesomething bad happened, hekept fighting.”

Early on, it was vintage Belle-vue football. The Wolverines,ranked No. 1 in 3A, marchedright down the field on their firstdrive.

They showed a spread offenseon their first play of the game andpicked up 17 yards on a screenpass. For the most part, though, itwas straight ahead Wing-T run-ning, and it worked early.

Bellevue (1-1) jumped to a 14-0 lead after a 7-yard, first-quar-ter run from quarterbackKendrick Van Ackeren and a 34-yard run from sophomore AriMorales.

“They’re so well coached andthey run that offense so well, andI know they’re going to get betterand better each week,” Skylinecoach Mat Taylor said aboutBellevue. “That’s a fantasticteam. It was two great teams ofthis decade. It was unbelievable.”

Skyline’s offense sputtered in

the first quarter, but picked upmidway through the second asBrowne led a pair of scoringdrives.

He continued to show impres-sive poise for a sophomore, find-ing Michael Ford on a 6-yardtouchdown pass with 3:21 toplay in the second quarter andWilliams, the Washington re-cruit, on a 25-yard scoring strikewith just 12 seconds left.

Browne was five of six for 79yards on the Spartans’ final driveof the first half and finished 24 of42 for 241 yards and threetouchdown passes.

Skyline (1-1) scored on its firsttwo possessions of the secondhalf, capping a string of 28straight points.

“They came out with all theirweapons, but we executed verywell and it’s a big win for us,”Browne said.

Heading into the second half,Taylor told his defensive playersto keep reminding each other tostay disciplined against Bellevue’soffense. Van Ackeren ripped off a40-yard touchdown run to cutSkyline’s lead to a touchdownearly in the fourth quarter, butthe Spartans hung on.

After playing two of the state’stop 3A teams, Liberty in the sea-son opener and Bellevue last Sat-urday, the Spartans take onperennial power Lake Oswego,Ore., Sept. 17. Lake Oswego is 2-0 and coming off a 27-14 victoryagainst Westview.

Many elementary schoolstudents know their city,state and country of resi-dence. But do they knowthe difference between

latitude and longitude? The defi-nition of the prime meridian? Thenumber of oceans swishingaround the earth?

Fourth-grade teachers at Chal-lenger Elementary School are em-barking on a yearlong geographyunit, teaching their students lessons

about maps, trade and culture. “They’ll look at their shirts and

see where they are made,” fourth-grade teacher Kathy Stimpson said.

Later in the year, the studentswill learn about countries aroundthe Pacific Rim, concentrating onone country for a final project.Stimpson and the other fourth-grade teachers give in-depth les-sons about Vietnam, Peru andChina; different cultures and land-forms; and guidance about howthey can do their final projects.

But first, students had to learnabout the continents and oceans.Each student made a paper macheglobe and painted it blue. Once thepaint dries, they will glue on thecontinents, creating their first 3-Dmap of the world.

Before students dipped theirbrushes in the blue tempera paint,

Stimpson asked if they could re-member the seven continents andfour oceans. Every hand in theroom shot up, as students spoutedoff the answers: North and SouthAmerica, Africa, Antarctica, Asia,Australia and Europe.

The oceans were a cinch, withstudents reeling through them oneafter the other: Atlantic, Arctic, In-dian and Pacific.

Student Riley McCabe remem-bered her geography terms well.

“Latitude is like horizontal andlongitude is straight up anddown,” she said.

Until the geography unit, “I did-n’t know there were so manycountries,” she added.

Donovan Bahall said he wasglad to learn the location of coun-tries all around the world. Howelse would he know where ani-

mals were from when he went tothe zoo and read the informationcard, he asked.

Mauricio Hidalgo learnedAntarctica is a continent, eventhough it has the fewest people.

“I thought there were six conti-nents before, but now I knowthere are seven,” he said, whilepainting his paper mache globe.

Avery Taylor said the geographylesson had fixed a misconception shehad about countries and continents.

“I thought Russia was a conti-nent, but I guess it’s not,” she said.

Students also learned geograph-ical vocabulary.

“I did not know there was sucha thing as the prime meridian,”Matthew Seminatore said. “It’s likethe equator, except in the other di-rection.”

Three mothers volunteered duringthe globe-making session, ensuringthat paint stayed on the table.

“It was so messy,” volunteerYvette Artman said. “But it was afun way to learn about geography.

When I was in school, we wouldlook at the plastic maps on theprojector. We did not do any artsand crafts in the classroom, ever.”

She said geography could ex-pose children to different careeroptions.

“Maybe they want to work withmaps, or maybe they want to bean airline pilot or in the Navy,”said Artman, saying her husbandsaw the world when he served inthe U.S. Navy.

Volunteer Sandy Dong said sheliked the hands-on aspect of theproject.

“It helps to make everythingmore meaningful,” she said.“You’re visually making the con-nection.”

Her daughter agreed. OliviaDong said geography was impor-tant, “so we can learn aboutwhere we live on the earth.”

It’s all the media’s fault. It lied.Blame the media. It wasn’teven a real mosque. Theydidn’t tell the whole story.That news station is too lib-

eral; it’s not trustworthy. The me-dia blew swine flu out of propor-tion. The media blew the Koranburning out of proportion. The me-dia is trying to brainwash us!

Sound familiar? These have allbeen common reactions to modernjournalism, reactions that show justhow much the population takes

what we do for granted. It is reallyfrustrating as a student journalist tosee such an important establish-ment earn such strong dislike forits bad choices, but to never receivepraise for the service expected of it.

It is certainly true that newspublishers and broadcasters geta lot of stigma in our post-9/11world, and I am not saying it isundeserved. Some news stationsdistort the facts — telling thetruth, but not the whole truth;some align themselves politi-cally, dividing their audiences;and some are prodded in the“right” direction by the govern-

ment, effectively becoming noth-ing more than propaganda ma-chines.

All that negativity and blamehas started to overshadow why we

even have news media.So, why do we have news me-

dia? Or rather, what would we dowithout it? There would probablybe no America for starters. Theprint press was a cornerstone ofcivilization at that point, and ithelped to rouse the colonies to warmore effectively than any word-of-mouth could; the Watergate scan-dal might never have been ex-posed to the public if it weren’t forthe investigative efforts of BobBernstein and Carl Woodward forThe Washington Post; and reliefefforts would never happen. The

areas affected by the 2005tsunami, Hurricane Katrina andlast year’s earthquake in Haitiwould never have received the aidthat they did if it wasn’t for mediacoverage.

So, the next time a news outletmakes a mistake, and every blog-ger on the Internet pounces on it,take it at face value. Look for astory that will have some positiveimpact instead, because it is hightime that journalism is praisedfor what it has accomplished fora change, rather than shamed forthe damage it has done.

Soccer girls net profitRiley Dean and Jessica Free-

man spent the last days of theirsummer vacation baking treatsfor a bake sale. The girls mademore than $440 at the Is-saquah Farmers Market Aug.28.

They plan to donate themoney to Soccer Saves, an or-ganization committed to creat-ing healthy lifestyles for disad-vantaged youth. Soccer Savespartners with global humani-tarian organizations working toprovide HIV/AIDS education,nutrition and gender equalityand to decrease gang violenceby using the power of soccer.

Both Dean and Freeman playsoccer for GU-13, an EastsideFC team. They know that $50buys a Soccer Saves child ad-mission for a year, meaningthey just raised enough moneyto help eight players.

Don Wilson was just trying to stop allthe heavy lifting.

In 1958, he and friend Bob Boglewere working construction and weregetting tired of the manual labor. Thepair went to a pawn shop in Tacomaand bought a pair of beat-up guitars,marking the beginning of surf-rock bandThe Ventures.

Within 16 months, their song “Walk,Don’t Run” had become the No. 2 hit inthe country. After a career spanningdecades, the band was honored this sum-mer by Japan with the Order of the Ris-ing Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette.

“This award is from the emperor ofJapan. I mean, how big can you be?”Wilson, of Sammamish, asked.

The award is presented in the name ofthe Emperor of Japan as recognition ofexcellence in a host of different fields.

The Ventures were honored for theircontributions to Japanese music and cul-ture and for their work in promoting re-lations between Japan and the UnitedStates.

This marks the first time the awardhas been given to a non-Japanese popu-lar music group, and also the first time ithas been awarded to all members of a

group, according to Japanese consulateofficials.

Wilson said he has yet to process all ofthe information about the award, whichwas presented during a ceremony at theJapanese consulate in Seattle.

“There are rules about where you canwear it,” he said.

The Ventures, inducted into the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 andknown for songs including the theme totelevision’s “Hawaii 5-0,” first touredJapan in 1962. During the tour, Wilsonsaid they opened for Bobby V. and JoAnn Campbell, who had a movie aboutthe Twist out at the time.

“The first time we were there, nobodyhad heard of us — rock ‘n’ roll was al-most unheard of,” Wilson said.

Their instrumental music caught on,and when The Ventures came back in

1964, they were greeted by thousands ofscreaming fans at the airport, he said.

“When we came over, we just bleweverybody out of the water,” he said.

The band sought to capitalize on theirpopularity and composed about 30 songsjust for the Japanese market.

In some cases, their instrumental ver-sion would be a hit, and then a Japanesesinger would add vocal tracks to thesong. Often, that version would also topthe charts, Wilson said.

They’ve been touring the island nationever since and have had 20 No.1 songsthere. The band still draws between3,000 and 5,000 people to its shows,and last year played 47 dates there, Wil-son said. The tour included a kabuki the-ater in Kyoto — the first time a rockgroup had been permitted to play thevenue.

This year’s tour is set for about 45shows, Wilson said. It includes a Nov. 13stop at the Snoqualmie Casino Ballroom.

The band is still going strong on thisside of the Pacific, as well. Later thisyear, “Hawaii 5-0” will return to televi-sion, said Leonard Haggarty, of theband’s record label. The theme will onceagain be the iconic song by The Ventures.

Cougar Mountain Re-gional Wildland Park isnot only home tospecies of wildlife and36 miles of trails; it is

home to 17 outdoor sculptureswhich will call the park homeuntil next month.

The “Overgrowth and Under-story” outdoor sculpture exhibi-tion at Cougar Mountain openedearlier this summer, and is thefirst time the park has had anexhibit of contemporary art.

“Seattle City Parks liked theoutdoor exhibit last year, at Car-keek Park, because it encour-aged walking,” said David Fran-cis, vice president of the Centeron Contemporary Art.

The exhibit at Cougar Moun-tain is installed at two differenttrailheads. By having it locatedat the Sky Country and Anti-Air-craft trailheads people can makea day out of checking it out. Artpieces are placed around theperimeter of fields at both loca-tions.

“By walking between thesculptures, you get exercise,”Francis said. “You look at theart, then walk through thewoods and you get to reflect onwhat sculptures you saw. Youmay see a beaver dam andthink, ‘I just saw something thatlooked like that.’ It gives you achance to look at the art andthink about nature.”

The pieces are also weathereddue to the outdoor elements;some pieces are specific to theirlocations in the park. Unlikewith indoor exhibits, outdoorexhibits usually have fewer

artists.“It’s a public place. You have

to know that it could be vandal-ized,” said artist Deby Harvey, ofPreston, who has art in the exhi-bition. “We went into it knowingthat it could be vandalized andwere willing to take thatchance.”

Harvey said she went to lookat the art at one point, and ithad been vandalized. Some ofthe glass in the piece had beenbroken.

One piece in the exhibit is agiant mailbox, which accordingto Francis is supposed to evokethe missile launch and can also

be translated as a message be-ing sent. The piece is specific toCougar Mountain Regional Wild-land Park, as the park was usedduring the Cold War as a missilesite; the park also has historicalcoal mining sites.

Artists from as far away asOakland, Calif., and Vancouver,British Columbia, wanted toparticipate in the exhibition be-cause of the park’s history.

All of Harvey’s art is naturethemed. Her piece on displaynear the Anti-Aircraft Trailheadis a collaboration with her sonJon Harvey, Catherine Thomp-son and Bob Prowda. The piece

took the four a month and a halfto complete. Each person had acertain element to add to thepiece, which is a an upsidedown tree stump with mosaicsby Thompson, forged copperaround the stump by Deby Har-vey, glass blowing inside thestump by Jon Harvey, andcharred wood and metal workdone by Prowda.

The group tried to stick to thetheme of overgrowth and under-story. According to Deby Harvey,everything on the piece is eitherrelated to growth, birth, life orthe death of nature.

“We loved the theme, loved

the thought of it. It’s a realmetaphor to use,” she said. “Lifekeeps going on and on. In ournew art center, we keep pushingon forward. It’s a real fun pieceto have accepted into the exhibi-tion.”

Many of the artists had onlydesigned a sketch of their piecebefore applying for the exhibi-tion. Once artists were notifiedthat they would be able to par-ticipate, they began constructingtheir pieces. With only twoweeks from the time they foundout they were accepted to the in-stallment date, many artistsworked long hours to get doneon time.

“Some said, ‘Whether I getinto the show or not, I want todo this,’” Francis said.

The Center on ContemporaryArt approached King CountryParks with the same model thatwas used in Carkeek Park, andasked which park would be agood place to have an outdoorsculpture exhibit and they sug-gested Cougar Mountain, Fran-cis said.

All four artists who worked onDeby Harvey’s piece are part ofartEAST in Issaquah. ArtEASTis working on opening a newarts center in the Lewis Hard-ware building downtown. Thegroup plans to auction off thepiece as a fundraiser to raisemoney for the new center.

ORDER OF APPROVALNO. 10052

Applicant: Cedar Grove Composting, Inc.17825 Cedar Grove Rd.

210-Legal Notices

Maple Valley, WA 98038

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (the Agency) is seek-ing comments on a revised draft Order of Approval for No-tice of Construction (NOC) Ap-plication No. 10052 for Cedar Grove Composting, Inc. (Ce-dar Grove). A comment peri-od for an original draft order of approval was held from April 29 to June 15, 2010 and a public hearing to accept com-ments was held June 3, 2010. Based on comments received during that original public com-ment process, the Agency is proposing additional revisions to the draft order of approval. These additional revisions are sufficiently different from the original proposal to warrant a new public comment period and public hearing on this pro-posal.

The proposed additional revi-sions to the draft order of ap-proval include the following:

(1) New requirement for con-tinuous velocity pressure, stat-ic pressure, and temperature monitoring on the gas stream inlet to each biofilter onsite

(2) Modify a condition to in-crease the frequency of the third party biofilter evaluations from semi-annually to quarter-ly

(3) New condition specifying that air contaminant emissions from Cedar Grove shall not re-sult in Level 2 odors or greater beyond the facility property boundaries

The overall purpose of the pro-posed NOC action is to con-solidate the conditions of Or-

210-Legal Notices

der of Approval Nos. 5136, 7055, 7638, 8213, and 8913 which have been issued for in-dividual projects dating back to 1993. Additionally, the pro-posed action incorporates on-going compliance require-ments, primarily monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting, which were established through a Settlement Agree-ment between Cedar Grove and the Agency regarding Civil Penalty No. 08-064. The Set-tlement Agreement included a provision that Cedar Grove would submit an NOC applica-tion requesting the conditions of the orders of approval previ-ously listed and the Settlement Agreement be incorporated in-to a new order of approval. This revised draft order is a re-sult of that Settlement Agree-ment provision and reflects re-sponses to comments re-ceived from the public.

Cedar Grove is a commercial composting operation that re-leases volatile compounds and other pollutants with the poten-tial to cause odor. The draft Order of Approval does not in-clude any production increas-es or modifications to the op-erations beyond those previ-ously reviewed and approved.

PRELIMINARY DETERMINA-TION:The Agency has completed a review of NOC application No. 10052 and made a preliminary determination that draft Order of Approval No. 10052 meets all requirements of Agency Regulations I, II, and III and qualifies for approval. Addi-tionally, since the proposed or-der does not include produc-tion increases or modifications to the operations, the Agency
