Dan O’Neill, a Sammamish resident and founder of Mercy Corps, has been involved in hu-manitarian e� orts for more than 30 years.
A� er living in Israel during the Yom Kippur War and then witnessing the Cambodia killing � elds in the late 1970s, O’Neill realized he wanted to focus his life on the human consequences of war.
“It seemed to me that we should do something, as Ameri-cans,” he said.
During this time, O’Neill called First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who invited him to work on the White House Cambodia Crisis Com-mittee.
“She was very touched and emotionally invested in what was happening there,” he said.
O’Neill and Carter put together a team and started a one-year task force to combat the issues facing Cambodia. At age 31, O’Neill was
selected to be the committee’s executive director.
“I thought it would last about a year,” he said.
One year turned into a lifetime as the project transcended into the 1979 founding of Mercy Corps.
As one of the top humanitar-ian groups in the world, Mercy Corps prides itself on empower-ment and long-term sustainability opposed to simply providing supplies.
“Early on, we moved into a philosophy of local leadership,” he said. “We weren’t Americans telling people on the ground how to live.”
O’Neill said that Mercy Corps’ sta� consists mostly of indigenous people who know the country, the people and the culture.
“� ere was a sense that we were empowering them to take control over their own lives,” he said.
And while Mercy Corps is considered to be a mid-sized non-governmental organization with an operating budget of $350 million a year, O’Neill said they are very cost-e� cient.
“We take people’s donations very seriously,” he said.

Changes requested to the Eastside Fire and Rescue inter-local agreement by the city of Sammamish turned out to be no more than clari� cations.
� e EFR board meeting Dec. 12 looked nothing like the one Nov. 14 when there was tension in the room and a bit of � nger pointing.
Instead, this meeting produced a celebratory mood complete with sparkling cider and cookies.
� e new ILA, once it is reviewed by attorneys for all of the partners and the � re service, will go into e� ect in January 2015 and will be good for seven years.
An ad-hoc committee was formed to review the changes. Issaquah City Council member Paul Winterstein, who was on the committee, said the requested changes were easy to understand, adding that deputy chief Wes Collins did a lot of work to bring perspective to the issue.
� e only member of EFR who voted "nay" was Ron Pedee from District 38 who thought the process was premature.
"It was a question of whether or not it was timely to send it to the attorneys," Pedee said. "To do a meaningful job it would take four to six weeks."
District 38 is in battalion � ve, the same as North Bend. It covers areas of unincorporated King County surrounding the

It was a bittersweet moment when retiring Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger, addressing the city council and many citizens, said although she doesn't express emotions publicly, she loved them all.
"I get maudlin a� er half a glass of sparkling cider – probably because I'm part Scottish," she joked while looking as though she was about to tear up.
Prior to the meeting, a reception was held in her honor with cake, co� ee and sparkling cider, attended by her family, city sta� , council, citizens, police and � re representatives.
Mayor-elect Fred Butler read a lengthy proclamation outlining her 16 years as mayor and all that has been accomplished. Butler said she has suc-cessfully managed one of King County’s fastest growing cities, which has seen a 214 percent increase in population since 1998 when she was � rst elected.
Frisinger is Issaquah's longest serving mayor. Butler praised her for retaining
open space in the city, and her commit-ment to sustainability.
"She is vest-wearing docent at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, an expert on salmon policy and a leader for the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. She deeply loves Issaquah, its people and the natural beauty that surrounds us," Butler read from the proclamation.
Several citizens took their turn at the podium to thank her for her years of service. Robin Kelley, the director of
festivals for the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, speci� cally Salmon Days, thanked Frisinger with a presentation of a large gi� basket from the festival o� ce.
Greg Tryon, deputy chief of op-erations for Eastside Fire and Rescue, thanked her on behalf of Chief Lee Soptich for bringing Eastside Fire and Rescue together, saying he's had the opportunity to speak to hundreds of elected o� cials over the years, and Frisinger was in the top � ve.

Outgoing Issaquah Mayor, Ava Frisinger (center), enjoys a moment with her daughter, Diane Lindstrand, and her granddaughter, Ava Lindstrand. One of the balloons they presented to Frisinger said "Welcome Back," meaning welcome back to the family after 16 years of dedication to the city. LINDA BALL, Issaquah Reporter
Ava Frisinger presidesover last city council meeting as Issaquah mayor
cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend and east to milepost 38 in Snoqualmie Pass. Pedee said District 38 has respond-ed to life and death incidents all the way to Kittitas County.
Although not in agreement with the short time frame to turn in the new ILA, Pedee did not indicate that District 38 plans to leave EFR.
It was clari� ed that each city/partner has title to per-sonal property such as � re trucks, and if they were to leave EFR, such property and money that goes into a replace-ment fund for the equipment as it depreciates would go with them, too.
Also agreed upon was that � ve members of the eight-member board must approve any expenditures over $50,000.
Alan Gothelf, a member of the North Bend City Council and now the new representative on the EFR board for his city, made a motion to form an operational committee, which passed unanimously.
Since the EFR board is made up of elected o� cials, many of them do not have the time to study every detail with a � ne-tooth comb. � is committee would be made up of various city sta� members who can identify anything on the budget. He said this would allow the board to use sta� expertise.
� e motion passed and Gothelf said it’s been le� up to the � re service sta� to � gure out how to make it work, and to come back to the board with their recommendations.
Gothelf and Ramiro Valderrama from the Sammamish City Council both expressed thanks to everyone on the board for addressing all the issues and for their e� orts.
“I was glad to be part of the process, the fact that this was resolved amicably,” Winterstein said.
Unexpected departures by � re� ghters from EFR during this tumultuous time and others out sick has resulted in EFR exceeding its overtime budget. � e board approved $37,000 more for overtime, which will come out of extra revenue.

UP for Issaquah Home Depot Assistant Manager John Delacour who enlisted the company to help local artist Bill Sullivan a� er reading about him in
the Dec. 6 Reporter. Delacour, the store’s “donation cap-tain,” arranged for Home Depot to donate a $100 Milwau-kee drill, drill bits, sandpaper, adhesive and a full tank of propane to Sullivan, who is homeless. � e � rst four items were for his artwork, called concretions, and the propane was so he could stay warm. Delacour had all the items waiting in a cart when Sullivan came in.
For the cities and agencies that make up Eastside Fire & Rescue for clearing the � nal hurdle to keeping this life-saving service intact. Disagree-
ments over funding EFR were worked out and residents can go into the new year assured that quick � re and EMT response is at their call.
For Pine Lake Middle School students who � lled four SUVs with gi� s along with $3,000 worth of gi� cards on Tuesday, Dec. 13, and delivered them
to the Pickering Barn where the Issaquah Food Bank had its Caring through Sharing Program. More than 1,200 kids in the Issaquah School District will bene� t from the dona-tions of many groups, schools and individuals.
For employees from Simply Placed LLC whose One Warm Coat clothing drive collected more than 250 articles of winter clothing from businesses through-
out Issaquah and the Eastside – far above their goal of 100. As company CEO Debbie Rosemont noted, “� is has been an especially cold winter all across the country. We are grateful for the opportunity to help spread a little warm to the people who need our help the most.” You still can help by contacting contact Cailin Shovkoplyas at [email protected] or 206-579-5743 ext. 702.

QUOTE
OF NOTE
BY DICK L’HEUREUX, MIKE FOSS, ROB YOUNG, AND BRENT MARSHALL
On Feb. 11, 2014 there will be a vote to decide if the citizens of the Klahanie Proposed An-
nexation Area (PAA) wish to become a part of the city of Issaquah or remain part of unincorporated King County. � at decision should be made based on each voter’s judgment and that is the way it should be – including their belief that they feel to be more a part of the city of Issaquah than of unincorpo-rated King county if that is the case.
Enter the David Kappler opinion article in which he has exhibited the same bias toward eventual annexa-tion to Sammamish as he has over the past 10 years or so – including when he served as an Issaquah City Council member.
� e problem with the article is misleading assertions not based on fact – as is the statement that Issaquah’s support of the PAA will be minimal. � e truth is that the Nesbitt study funded by the city of Issaquah used
as its basis providing the same level of support to the PAA as the city provides to its current citizens.
Next, Klahanie would be merely a suburb of Issaquah. Again, in its wis-dom and fairness, the main concept of the study was to insure that, a� er annexation the new city of Issaquah would be a homogeneous city as has been the case a� er past annexations. When the state Boundary Review Board found that a vote by the PAA to annex was justi� ed, that unani-mous decision a� rmed that a posi-tive vote would result in a viable new city which would be bene� cial to the current city and to the PAA residents as well.
Next is the issue issue that transpor-tation projects of the PAA would be given short shri� . Not so. Future proj-ects would be treated as part of the on-going priorities of the entire city. To the � re service issue, a� er some 10 years of zero interest in the PAA, Sammamish developed a signi� cant interest in us when our added revenue would permit the possibility of withdrawing from Eastside Fire & Rescue (to the harm of
the other members of the consortium) in order to establish their own � re department. Where was the love for the PAA before they needed us?
Now to a really important assertion by Mr. Kappler – the assertion that Sammamish has no debt and will solve all future needs through its superior management abilities. If this is so, why then is its current tax rate higher than Issaquah’s? Considering the minimal business base Sammamish has to sup-port future funding needs, guess where funds have to come from? Increased property taxes.
When the vote comes on Feb. 11, the citizens of the PAA need to base their vote on honest and legitimate reasons, even including an emotional attachment to a city, be it Issaquah or the belief that eventually it could be Sammamish. But at least make it unencumbered by unsupported al-legations and inappropriate assump-tions.
Dick L’Heureux, Mike Foss, Rob Young, and Brent Marshall are Klah-anie PAA residents.

Winter break begins Dec. 23Students in the Issaquah and Lake Washington
school districts will be on winter break from Dec. 23 through Jan. 3. Classes will resume on Monday, Jan. 6. School o�cials ask motorists to be aware and be careful when driving, especially if young children are playing near the street.
Program helps 960 children�e Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank served
960 children from the Issaquah, Sammamish and Renton areas recently as part of its Caring through Sharing Program.
Parents were able to shop and select four new items for their children. �e gi�s were age ap-propriate and ranged from clothing to electric helicopters, dolls, trucks, legos and more. A total of 119 individual or group donors participated in the program.
More to travel over holidayAAA projects 94.5 million Americans will
journey 50 miles or more from home during the year-end holiday season, an increase of 0.6 percent from the 94 million people who traveled last year. �is upward trend marks the ��h con-secutive year of increases and the highest travel volume recorded for the Christmas-New Year’s holiday period.
Community RoundupWhat’s happening in
Issaquah and Sammamish
Mercy Corps has recently reached out to the Philippine victims, helping more than 18,000 people in some of the most remote areas of devasta-tion. O’Neill said they have focused a lot of their attention on children who have gone through traumatic experiences, such as losing a loved one.
“A�er 9/11 in New York, when so many kids were par-ticularly vulnerable to trauma, we came up with a response called ‘Comfort for Kids,’” O’Neill said.
�e program provides tools and resources to children and their caretakers to help deal with the psychological shock of traumatic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and war. �e program is up and running for Syrian refugees in both Lebanon and Jordan.
Locally, Mercy Corps is assisting immigrants, poverty-stricken people and incarcerat-ed women who are about to be released through Mercy Corps Northwest. �eir programs work to increase economic self-su�ciency and community in-
tegration through development and self-employment. �eir goal is to reduce unemploy-ment, grow personal incomes and increase economic growth.
O’Neill said the most visible thing Mercy Corps does is o�er donors the opportunity to provide a life-changing gi� to someone in need. �e gi�s range in price and help people in an di�erent areas of need, from education to vaccina-tions.
“It’s a donation, but it’s some-thing that people can see put in front of them and say, ‘I’m participating in this,’” O’Neill explained.
Mercy Corps is in 42 countries with a sta� of about 4,000–95 percent of whom are from the countries where Mercy Corps works. O’Neill has been to over 75 counties and lived overseas for periods of up to two years. And while traveling is a huge part of his life, O’Neill said he always ends up at his Sammamish home where he has lived for 27 years.
“Coming back to familiar territory is a good thing,” O’Neill said.
He is married to his wife, Cherry, who also is actively involved in the community,
and has �ve children between the ages of 21 and 32.
O’Neill said that he hopes Mercy Corps will continue to adapt to the rapid change in the world and continue the legacy of risk-taking innovation, all with the hope of reaching out to the world’s “bottom billion.”
“�ere’s nothing more rewarding than seeing positive change,” he said. “One person can make a huge di�erence in people’s lives.”
O’Neill referenced Helen Keller, stating that while the world is full of su�ering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
“Hope is a key word,” he said.
And because of that, O’Neill doubts he’ll ever retire from humanitarian work.
“We have a saying here. Once you’re in Mercy Corps, always in Mercy Corps.”

Although she was dealing with a rough case of laryngitis, Lisa Callan, the newest member of the Issaquah School District's Board of Directors took the oath of of-� ce – albeit quietly – at the Dec. 11 board meeting.
Marnie Maraldo, who ran unopposed to retain her seat, also took the oath of o� ce. Maraldo was unanimously appointed to be the new board president, replacing Brian Deagle.
Callan holds a Bachelor of Science de-gree in math and computer sciences from Northern Arizona University. She has been an active classroom and PTSA volunteer at Grand Ridge Elementary, where her son goes to school. Callan also has served in numerous PTSA leadership roles and has been active on the levy advisory committee.
She attended a "new director" boot camp at the Washington State School Director's Association conference last month, along with over 180 new directors from various districts.
At the board meeting, superintendent Ron � iele reported yet another clean audit for the district – the 11th year in row. He said the district is conducting a compre-hensive safety and security assessment at all school district sites to ensure sta� main-tains a culture of highly ethical principles.
� e result of the healthy youth survey, which was given to students in grades 6, 8 and 10, revealed that those students feel a bit less safe since Newtown. � e statistics for seniors is not quite accurate because only two of the high schools received the correct survey.
More cheating, less bullying and fewer incidents involving weapons also were reported in the survey. Unexcused absences remained static at 0.2 percent from the past two surveys, graduation rates are up and ISD has a very good track record of recycling and sustainability.

�e �nal Issaquah City Council wrapped up a number of issues in its last meeting of 2013.
n Polygon Northwest, which purchased the 63 acres in the Issaquah Highlands from Microso� earlier this year for $54 million, will begin negotiations with the city on a development agreement. �e property is eligible for 1.2 million square feet of com-mercial development and 265 housing units under the Highlands development agree-ment which expires in 2017. Keith Niven, the city’s director of economic development said Polygon wants to build 365 units, and no more. �e parcel is a TDR (transfer of de-velopment rights) receiving site, so Polygon would have to acquire 100 TDRs to make the plan work.
Council’s action directed sta� to come up with an agreement the city and Polygon can both live with — it did not grant any new entitlements. �e council’s Land and Shore committee will provide monthly oversight.
n Fees for land use permits will go up e�ective April 1, 2014. Phasing in the increases, which was previously discussed, is o� the table.
A preliminary plat fee would rise from $16,208 to $17,000 for less than 15 lots, or $22,000 for more than 15 lots. A single family lot line adjustment will jump from $607.80 to $1,500. �e goal is 100 percent cost recovery overall for the city, not per developer. �e city needs $400,000 in additional fees so the general fund isn’t tapped to cover losses.
David Favour, development services deputy director for the city, said the aver-age homeowner will still have an easy path. �e fees that are going up are for complex developments that usually involve some sort of environmentally sensitive areas, he said.
�e fees that are increasing are for land use such as moving lot lines and creating plats, not building construction.
"Nobody likes to see fees or taxes go up," said council member Tola Marts. "Take a look at the budget process; it's these type of decisions that have allowed Issaquah to meet the economic challenges of the last several years.”
n �e King County Council gave the go-ahead for the annexation of Klahanie and surrounding areas to appear on the Feb. 11, 2014 ballot, at its meeting Monday, Dec. 16.
For purposes of the King County elec-tion pamphlet, committees of two were
formed to write the pro and con statements. Writing the statement in favor of annexation are Klahanie residents Dick L'Heureux and Michael Foss. �e statement against annexa-tion will be written by former Issaquah City Council member David Kappler, along with Mark Seely from the citizen group Klahanie Choice.
�e committees can seek advice and input from others, but those names would not ap-pear on the statement.
Pro and con statements also will be pre-pared for the bag ban reversal controversy.
�e con committee, or those who oppose the repeal of the ban on plastic bags, will consist of Sen. Mark Mullet, who originally proposed the ban while still on Issaquah's City Council, and Susan �oman, with Cedar Grove, an all organic composting company based in Seattle.
Writing the pro statement to support the repeal is Craig Keller, a West Seattle resident who maintains a P.O. box in Issaquah. He was successful in getting enough signatures on a petition to get the issue on the ballot. Joining him will be Tim Eaves.
Council wraps up year with Polygon, fees, ballots

Eggnog FudgeMakes 64 pieces 3 cups granulated sugar1 cup eggnog1 tbsp corn syrup2 tbsp butter1 tsp vanilla½ cup chopped walnutsGlaze¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips • 1 tsp butterGrease sides of large heavy saucepan. Add sugar; stir in eggnog and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until boiling.Cook, stirring only if necessary to prevent sticking, until candy thermometer reaches so� -ball stage of 238°F, and when ½ tsp syrup dropped into very cold water forms so� ball that � attens on removal from water.
Immediately remove from heat; let cool to lukewarm, 110°F, without stirring. Using wooden spoon, beat in butter and vanilla, beating until very thick and no longer shiny. Quickly stir in nuts. Spread in greased 8-inch square cake pan.
Tip: If fudge sets too quickly before spreading in pan, reheat gently over low heat just until so� enough to spread. Glaze: Melt together chocolate chips and but-ter. Drizzle over fudge. Score into 1-inch squares while warm; let cool completely and cut into squares. Fudge can be layered between waxed paper in airtight container and stored for up to two weeks.
It goes without saying that during the Christmas season we think a lot about
our loved ones. But this year, if you have the time, you could also think about helping out in your community. � ere’s no better way of getting into the Christ-mas spirit than by o� ering our help to those less fortunate than ourselves.
One possibility would be to give some of your time to an organization collect-
ing donations for the poor. Because of all those Christmas parties, shopping for gi� s, etc., volunteers are in short supply. But what could be nicer than spreading a bit of happiness among those who don’t have the means to celebrate Christmas?
You could also help in the prepara-tion of a Christmas meal for the poor or lonely people. Helping to make a meal for strangers can be just as rewarding as
concocting that delicious feast you are already planning for family and friends.
If you’re a sociable sort of person you could o� er your services to an organi-zation o� ering rides home to all those party goers who are no � t state to drive themselves. Not only will you be helping them out but you’ll also be making our roads a lot safer.
If you’ve resolved to give a helping hand to others this Christmas, why not take action and volunteer? Even if it only involves a few hours of your time, you’ll be helping people in your community to spend a happier and more memorable Christmas. And by helping them, your Christmas will be unforgettable.

(Le� to right) Eastlake seniors Caleb Alleva, Edward Kim and James McCutcheon hope to lead the Wolves back to the podium at state. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Wolves a� er more hardware in pool as Kim takes � nal lapBY JOSH [email protected]
Eastlake’s Edward Kim has been a constant in the pool for the past three seasons.
� e senior has captured the maximum six individual state championships while leading the Wolves to three top-10 team � nishes at the 4A state meet.
But when he thinks back to his introduction to the East-lake program, it is the camaraderie he remembers most.
“When I was a freshman, I used to look up to all those juniors and seniors,” he said. “I want to give that back to the freshmen here.”
Kim and the Wolves look to have a contingent once again capable of bringing home hardware from King County Aquatic Center.
“� is year is going to be our best year,” Kim said. “We have a big year ahead of us to go out and show what East-lake is made of.”
Only three meets into the season, coach Kate Angew’s squad has done exactly that.
� e 200 yard medley relay team of Kim, Caleb Alleva, Markus Zimmermann and Jackson Berman quali� ed to state in the � rst meet of the year, swimming a time of one minute, 43.31 seconds, with Berman also set for state in the
500 free.Kim won the 4A state title in the 50 free his freshman
year, to go with another in the 100 free to help the Wolves to a � � h place team � nish. It was the 200 free and 100 backstroke as a sophomore and last year, another win in the 50 free and his � rst in the 100 butter� y, both coming in Automatic All-American qualifying times.
Despite swimming in only one of the Wolves’ � rst three meets due to club team obligations, Kim de� ly secured places in the state � eld for the 200 free and 100 free.
“I love representing and I feel like the whole team is the same way,” he said. “Everyone is going to feel it and step up.”
Plenty of the Wolves will have a chance to join the pack at state, with nine swimmers quali� ed for districts.
Issaquah, Skyline swim postseason timesIssaquah’s quartet of Jason Klein, Ben Nussbaum, Gabe
Florsheim and Henry Pratt owns a state time in the 200 medley relay, with Nussbaum also a district quali� er in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke. Klein has a state qualifying time in the 100 free.
Pratt is also quali� ed in the 100 breast, while Klein swam a district time in the 100 backstroke.
Keith Nussbaum, Florsheim, Alex Sun, Espen Hellevik and Nick Garcia are also quali� ed for districts.
Skyline has two individuals and two relays quali� ed for state, with 10 swimmers quali� ed for districts.
Paul Jett and Ryan Collins own state times in the 100 � y and the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay teams are also quali� ed.
Hoops teams set for holidaysBY JOSH [email protected]
Issaquah dropped rival Skyline 58-49 last Friday and faces Ballard tonight before heading to Cali-fornia for the Max Preps Holiday Classic.
� e Eagles are one of three boys teams from Washington in the open division.

� e Crusaders will take a trip to California to play in

Skyline meets Newport tonight as both attempt to stop losing streaks in 4A KingCo play.
� e Spartans have dropped three straight, los-ing 88-77 to Bothell earlier in the week. � e Knights have fared no better, drop-ping all four of their confer-ence games thus far by eight or more points.
Eastlake’s boys team fell to Roosevelt 69-59 to start the week.
� e Lady Wolves beat Woodinville 65-56 to close last week, and face Roo-sevelt tonight in its � nal conference test before the holidays.
Beaverton and Lakeside visited the Plateau for non-conference games and Eastlake will spend part of its vacation in California for the Surf N’ Slam Tourna-ment.
Skyline’s girls lost 69-58 to Issaquah last week and the Spartans met Bothell af-ter the Reporter’s press time. � e Spartans face New-port tonight and will be in

� e Eagles, still unbeaten in conference, play Ballard tonight and will take part in the KingCo-Wesco Chal-lenge, facing Stanwood, Jackson and Monroe.
