Mr. HistoryRoy Peterson, a history docent at the Issaquah Train Depot, is a bit of living history for the city, aft er serving as a City Council mem-ber through the ’50s and ’60s. CELESTE GRACEY , Issasquah & Sammamish Reporter
Resting his hands on a cane, Roy Peterson sits back on a wood bench inside the old historic train depot, his memory as sharp as pick axe.
Coal mining relics fi ll the cases of the little museum and shed light on Issaquah’s past, but they’re nothing compared to what’s inside Peterson’s mind.
He was the man who named Issaquah’s streets, aft er all.
Volunteering as a docent at the museum every month, the 84-year-old tells his stories to anyone willing to listen.
“Did I bruise your ear?” he says, smiling wide. “I could go on for hours.”
Th e few that stop for a moment will hear fi rsthand how a town of 1,200 transformed
into a bustling city.“I really believe you’re losing the history
unless you hear some of these stories,” he said. “Th ere is not many of us left .”
While Peterson has something special to off er, Issaquah History Museums is looking for volunteers from all backgrounds to help cover its visitor hours.
Th ere is always a need for more docents, and the variety is welcome, said Karen Klein, the museums’ volunteer coordinator. “At the history museums, you never know who you’re going to attract.”
Peterson found the history museum a few months ago aft er he participated in an oral his-tory project.

Th e Issaquah Highlands is only a few months away from letting go of its safety net and claiming responsibility for it-self, and Brian Daniels couldn’t be more pleased.
As the board president of the community’s massive hom-eowner’s group, it’s more than a sign of maturity, he said. “We get to control our own destiny.”
Port Blakely, the master developer, announced plans to relinquish its majority control in the Issaquah Highlands Com-munity Association this fall.
Th e community’s fi rst board election is planned for this winter, a major milestone for a neighborhood still under heavy development.
Rene Ancincas, the Port Blakely chief, likened it to teaching a kid to ride a bike. Th e developer is about to let go of the seat, he said.
However to Daniels, the community is fully grown. People have stepped up into leadership roles.
It’s just a matter of letting go of Pt. Blakely’s fi nancial and legal safety net, which has been a use in the past, he said. “It has to happen sometime. It’s not healthy to always rely on someone else.”
While the master developer has always had the commu-nity’s best interests in mind,

Gustavo Bobbio Jr., 14, is no ordinary high school freshman. His father, Gustavo Bobbio Sr., works at Microsoft as an op-erations engineer, and has been with the company 10 years.
Gustavo Jr. aspires to be a soft ware engi-neer and work at Microsoft someday, too.
Gustavo Sr., a veteran on the Microsoft Windows team, admits that he enjoys tak-ing Microsoft credentialing exams, even though they are not required for his job. Rather, he just enjoys the challenge.
Gustavo Jr. wanted to not only challenge himself, but his dad, too. So while other kids may have spent their summer letting their brains turn to mush, the youngster set out to see how many Microsoft credentials he could earn.
To date, Gustavo Jr. has nine certifi ca-tions: Word 2007, Excel 2007, Power Point 2007, Access 2007, Word 2010, Excel 2010, Power Point 2010, Access 2010 and Mi-crosoft Offi ce specialist master 2007. He is now preparing for 2010 specialist master.
“Th ey change features between the ver-
sions,” Gustavo Jr. said.Gustavo Sr. has all of the same certifi -
cations, but the two enjoy the competi-tion on scores. Gustavo Jr. scored higher than his dad on 2007 Excel and Power Point, and 2010 Excel and Word.
“It was kind of a goal and a challenge to my dad,” Gustavo Jr. said. “It seems really easy to me.”
His friends think what he’s doing is cool, and he still hangs out and plays video games with them. Speaking of which, without any formal training he is able to create his own video games.
“He’s a fast learner,” his dad said.Gustavo Jr. credits Bettina Gehle, his
tech teacher at Pacifi c Cascade Middle School, for inspiring him and following his progress.
“I learned a lot in that class,” he said.At TSS Redmond, where the tests are
administered, he took the skills he learned from studying Access and built a database for his X-Box games, said Lynn Landry with TSS. She said now he doesn’t have to do “manual work” in solving problems because he knows how to use formulas in Excel and Access.
For each of his accomplishments, his re-ward at home is a new game for his XBox.
Th e Bobbio family moved to Issaquah three years ago from Puerto Rico, but they are originally from Peru. One of Gustavo’s older sisters, the only one of his three sib-lings interested in the fi eld of technology, is currently taking Cisco programming, and plans to major in network administration
and computer sciences at the University of Washington.
As a freshman at Issaquah High School, Gustavo Jr. will be taking engineering ro-botics, Japanese and geometry in addition to his required courses.

Apartment clubhouse burns in IsssaquahGas leak report turns out to be a fi re
Fire investigators are still trying to determine what caused an Issaquah apart-ment clubhouse to catch fi re Tuesday.
While the structure wasn’t consumed in fl ames, it got hot enough inside that it melted plastic vent coverings on the roof, according to an Eastside Fire and Rescue press release.
Smoke heavily damaged the building, located at 145 Newport Way NW, but the fi re was oxygen deprived and had almost burned itself out by time fi refi ghters arrived.
Originally, the incident was reported as a gas leak, but the fi re crews discov-ered the smell was actually caused by the fi re, and there was no gas leak.

An exchange of views on the issues facing Issaquah, Sammamish and the world beyond

We have a news fl ash for you: politicians accept campaign donations.
We hope you were sitting down when you read this.
But wait, there’s more.
They even accept them from businesses.
Oh, the horror.
This breaking news was recently brought to the public’s attention by Joel Connelly,
a columnist for SeattlePI.com who uncovered the fact that Attorney General Rob
McKenna has accepted an in-kind donation from Honda Auto Center of Bellevue for
the use of a car in his campaign for governor.
Connelly apparently sees a confl ict of interest here since he wrote, the Attorney
General’s offi ce investigates auto dealers “for deceptive advertising practices, dishon-
est promotions or hidden costs… .”
Well, sure, and the AG does so of every other business or individual in the state, if
necessary.
Connelly went on to note that the AG’s offi ce recently announced eight settlements
with car dealers over advertisements that allegedly violated the state’s consumer
protection laws. And, he did add that Honda Auto Center of Bellevue wasn’t one of
those dealers.
But, he adds, “appearances count: The fact that McKenna gets free use of a car,
supplied by a business he regulates, is somewhat unsettling. “
We’d like to think Connelly’s writing was sharp, investigative reporting, but it
smacks of partisan mud-slingling.
Democratic Party chairman Dwight Pelz quickly jumped on the issue to condemn
Republican McKenna, who is running for governor.
“This is part of a developing pattern in which the Attorney General is willing to cozy up to
campaign backers at the expense of the consumers he is charged with protecting,” Pelz said.
Really?
First, even Democrats admit that it’s perfectly legal for candidates to accept cam-
paign donations – cash or in-kind - from businesses. But surprisingly, both Connelly
and Pelz somehow failed to report that former Attorney General Chris Gregoire, a
Democrat, (yes, the same Chris Gregoire who is now our governor), did the same thing
by accepting the use of a campaign car in 2004 from Dwayne Layne Everett Dodge.
Even more interesting is the failure to mention King County Councilman Bob Fer-
guson, a Democrat who wants to replace McKenna as Attorney General, has received
total of $6,400 from Honda of Seattle and Toyota of Seattle.
In the interest of keeping things fair, let us note that Republican Reagan Dunn, also
running for Attorney General, has received a total of $9,600 Tacoma Dodge Chrysler
Jeep, Auburn Chevrolet, and Enumclaw Chrysler Jeep Dodge.
Connelly and Pelz know that in-kind use of the car is subject to the same limits as
any campaign donation. Once the limit is hit, the campaign must pay the tab out of its
own pocket.
The campaign for Jay Inslee, a Democrat who is running for governor, said that
it leases a Toyota Prius, but it is paid for by general campaign donations, not for
an in-kind donation. We assume that Inslee’s campaign hasn’t or won’t accept
any money from car dealers at all. If so, a suspicious person might wonder if it,
too, helps defray the cost of using the car.
Perhaps that’s something Connelly can investigate. Or not.

Reichert’s position represents sound public policy
As a Realtor, every week I meet people who are drawn to this area by our community parks, beautiful mountains and cool, clean bodies of water. I see fi rsthand how investing in our playgrounds, trails for biking and hiking, boat ramps and athletic fi elds strengthens our local economy.
Many of those investments would not be possible without help from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. LWCF is an innovative federal pro-gram funded by off shore oil and gas fees – not taxpayer dollars – to protect natural resources around the country.
Known for protecting iconic areas like Mount Rainier, the Mountains to Sound Greenway and I-90 Cor-ridor and other recreational treasures, LWCF also provides states with matching grants for state and local parks.
From Lake Sammamish State Park and Tibbetts Valley Park to the viewing areas at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, LWCF has made key local park projects in Issaquah possible.
Unfortunately, the U.S. House Appropriations Committee has approved legislation that would slash funding for LWCF by 80 percent. Th is cut would cripple the ability of the LWCF to continue making a diff erence in our state.
Given this attack on the LWCF, we are fortunate that Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Eighth District) under-stands the connection between protecting natural
areas and safeguarding our state’s economy. Rep. Reichert co-sponsored and helped pass an amendment to in-crease LWCF funding by $20 million – an important fi rst step in restoring funding for this important program.
We have seen time and again that protecting wildlife habitat and natural areas, investing in state, local, and national parks and trails, and provid-ing water access increases the value of nearby homes. Increased property values benefi t both property owners and local governments.
As our urban areas accommodate new employment and housing oppor-tunities, LWCF funding is critically important for protecting our unique natural resources and enhancing the quality of life for our families. Nearby natural areas and community parks are important to give kids a place to
play and to give families and neighbors a place for recreation and mingling.
It is essential that we protect the natural beauty that makes Washington a great place to live. Rep. Reichert understands that protecting our quality of life is good for communities and good for busi-nesses. Congressman Reichert’s position on LWCF funding represents sound public policy. I hope other members of Congress will follow his lead in funding LWCF.
Kristen Greenlaw is the president of the Seattle-King County Association of Realtors.

‘50s and ‘60s, so he can recall the intimacies of old city dramas.
After the project, he kept coming back, Klein said. “He just kept appearing say-ing that, ‘My memory is still good. you should gather it from me.’”
So they asked him to consider being a docent.
A volunteer all his life, it was an easy decision, Peterson said.
He first came to the small town as a ninth-grade civics teacher at Issaquah High School in 1952.
At the time Issaquah wasn’t large enough to hold general elections for its city councilmembers. Instead, they were voted in at town hall meetings, but few people attended.
He pressed his students to encourage their parents to show up to the meetings, so the same group of people wouldn’t keep control of the city.
As parents began to show up, Peterson grew in popularity.
“The next thing I knew, I got nominated,” he said
with a laugh.While he was unsure if
he wanted to be a coun-cilmember, he accepted the position and eventually took to politics.
During his first term, the town grew large enough to add two more councilmem-bers and to get house-to-house mail delivery.
Mail delivery meant the city had to name it streets and assign house numbers.
Peterson and Clive Berry, the town florist,
wanted Issaquah to cre-ate its own system, but they were opposed by the other two councilmembers, who wanted to adopt the county’s numerical system.
So they put it to a vote, and about 80 percent of the residents wanted their own street names.
At the next meeting, Peterson told the coun-cilmembers it was a sign that he understood the community more than they did, but this came back to
bite him.The city couldn’t afford
to pay someone to name the streets and number the homes, so Mayor J.W. Flintoft turned to the two men who supported the measure.
“He said, ‘Guess whose going to have to do it?’” Peterson said with a laugh. “You’re going to have to do it.”
They decided to split the town on the Sunset High-way, the major road that ran through town.
Peterson took respon-sibility for the south half of town, and named the streets alphabetically after local pioneers – Adams, Bush, Croston.
Berry, the florist, wanted to name his streets after flowers, but they’re too hard to spell, so he switched to trees – Alder, Birch, Cedar, Dogwood.
At the museums, a col-lection of photos show men going to work in the Issaquah coal mines. Peter-son points to a map plotting mines beneath Cougar Mountain.
To this day, old collapsed
shoots pose a risk to hikers who explore off trail, he said.
The entrances were all blocked off after they were closed, but there was a time when he considered reopening them.
John F. Kennedy came on the television to warn the public about the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Peterson had the idea that the town could hide in the tunnels.
“We’re so close to Seattle, if someone starts shooting missiles at Seattle, it could be real easy for one to miss,” he said.
His neighbor was once a miner, and he took Peterson to the entrance, which was blocked by logs. It would do the job, and it was close to town, but it was never needed.
Peterson has had a lifetime career in public service. He was a founding trustee at Bellevue Commu-nity College, served on the Overlake Hospital board and spent 20 years vol-unteering at the Issaquah visitor’s center.

Here’s what they wrote:If you’re looking for the
Pacific Northwest ideal – snow-capped mountains and scenic lakes – Sam-mamish might be for you. Puget Sound and ski resorts
are both an hour from this affluent Seattle suburb.
High-tech employers in the area include Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft, which is headquartered just 15 minutes away.
Incorporated just over a decade ago, Sammamish still doesn’t have a real center where the com-munity can gather. But local officials are working on a new downtown with retail, recreation and town services.

Th e numbers speak for themselves. Over the last three seasons, the Skyline
girls soccer program earned 47 wins, with just seven losses and two ties.
Th e Spartans won 4A state titles in
2008 and 2009 and placed third in 2010 aft er amassing a No. 1 national ranking and an impressive 19-1 record. Th eir only loss came in the state semifi nals.
With 11 varsity players back, one would think they are poised for another run in 2011.
And that might be true, but eighth-
year head coach Don Braman doesn’t want anyone looking too far ahead.
“Th e way I’m approaching it, is this team has to prove itself all over again,” he said, noting each new season presents challenges. “Th e memories are great, but that’s all they are is memories.”
Skyline returns several of its key
components from last season, including goalkeeper Tina Vargas. Th e University of Denver-bound senior recorded 14 shut-outs last season and has solidifi ed herself as one of the top keepers in the state.
“She’s always trying to be the best on the fi eld,” Braman said. “She gets annoyed at herself when she doesn’t make every save in practice, even though it’s humanly impossible.”
Th e Spartans also bring back senior midfi elder Maddie Christ (7 goals, 15 assists), junior forward Rachel Shim (7 goals, 3 assists), senior midfi elder Nicole Candioglos (6 goals, 1 assist) and senior forward Jackie Wilson (5 goals, 3 assists).
Other varsity returners include senior midfi elder Alexa Strom, senior midfi elder Sydne Tingey, junior forward Anna Deweirdt, sophomore midfi elder Brooke Holland and sophomore midfi elder Brooke Boft o.
Speedy senior Dom Randle, one of the top defenders in KingCo, suff ered an ACL injury and will miss her fi nal sea-son. She is still one of fi ve team captains and will be on the sideline to root on the Spartans throughout the season.
With a tough KingCo 4A schedule ahead, Braman knows there are no guarantees to return to the state tourna-ment. But if the Spartans follow the same formula they have the last few years, it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise.
“I think as a coach it’s great when you have talent, and we’ve certainly had talent over these last few years,” he said. “Th e thing that I really feel has set the program apart is that the girls come with such a great attitude about learning and working hard and being committed to being the best every day.”

this is a chance for the Highlands to be on its own, Daniels said. “I think it’s actually an overwhelmingly positive thing.”
At fi rst Port Blakely will give up one of its four seats, giving majority control to voters in the spring. It plans to relinquish its three
remaining seats, which are held by Port Blakely
employees, by 2013.Th e decision was
triggered by the area’s renewed development interest.
When 75 percent of land zoned for housing is developed and sold, Port Blakely would be forced to relinquish its control to the homeowners.
Today, the Highlands has about 2,860 homes, its about 63 percent complete, but it’s expected to grow
quickly. So, the master developer decided to begin the process now to ensure its a smooth transition.
Eventually the High-lands will have about 4,540 homes.
Port Blakely is also con-vinced the community is ready for the responsibility, Ancincas said. “We know there are a lot of people who are dedicated and capable and able.”
Port Blakely has been
preparing and working with community leaders since it started the association in 2002.
It even used its own board seats to give people in the community experi-ence and knowledge.
Th e association main-tains the community’s nu-merous parks and enforces conformity rules. It’s also responsible building a cash reserve. As of this fi s-cal year, it has $381,500.
Alongside the hom-eowners group, Port Blakely also formed the Highlands Council, which owns Blakely Hall and organizes Highlands Day. Th e trustees include a mixture of developers and nonprofi ts invested in the community.

Th e following information was compiled from city of Issaquah police reports:
DRIVER THREATENS MAN WITH GUN - An unknown driver reportedly pulled out an assault-type rifl e from his glove box and pointed it at a man aft er they argued over a cigarette Aug. 24.
Police don’t know whether the gun was real or not, but the incident occurred on the 1200 block of Northwest Gilman Blvd.
A group of people had just exited a hair salon, when they saw a gold or silver Honda, fi lled with people, stop in a travel-ing lane nearby.
A man approached them, and they quickly began to argue. Eventually the driver pulled out what appeared to be a gun, and continued to argue, demanding gas money. Eventually he sped off .
FLAMING BAG OF POOP - A hom-eowner called police aft er fi nding a charred white bag fi lled with poop on his front door. Whoever left it, knocked on his door before running off on the 4500 block of Northwest Dogwood Street Aug. 20.
Th e man said he didn’t know who did it, but a few years ago his house was also egged.
Th e point of the prank is to get people to step on the fl aming paper bag to put it out, and then get poop all over their shoe.
GRAFFITIED ON FRONT STREET - A row of businesses along the 50 block of Front Street North were graffi tied in nine diff erent places.
Th e graffi ti was black and blue in unknown lettering. Police couldn’t fi gure out how the suspect was easily able to gain access to the business roofs.
It caused about $250 in damages Aug. 21.
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS - Police were called to the 400 block of Northwest Gilman Boulevard aft er someone reported there was a man going underneath cars and licking the ground Aug. 24.
When police arrived, they found the man, who said he was looking for some lost earrings. He had a doctors appointment near that location,
Th en police were called back again with a report that the same man was still there, but this time he was eating bugs.
Th e doctor said he would assist the man.
WATER MAIN BREAK - Police received a call that there was a 15-foot geyser shoot-ing into the air on Talus Aug. 25.
Th ere was a large water main break at a private construction site. Public works fi xed the main.
