Geneva Schlepp was stunned at the � rst-hand tale she heard from an African warrior

in December.Inspired to leave his tribe and gain a college

education, the man � rst had to earn his father’s approval by slaying a lion with a club — all part of the Maasi Tribe’s rite of passage.

� e man expedited the training that nor-mally takes � ve years, learning technique in three months. He accomplished his feat and went on to college where he earned a degree in botany.

“We just take it for granted,” said Geneva, 13. “It’s like ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve got school this morning.’ � ey were like, ‘I have to kill a lion to be able to go to school.’”

Within days, the seventh-grade Pine Lake Middle School student searched for a way she could make a di� erence. She went to the or-ganization who brought the African warriors to her school, Free the Children, and knew exactly what she wanted to do.

“I thought ‘Brick by Brick’ looks like a pretty cool project, I can build a school anywhere,”

she said. Geneva recruited a family friend from the

other side of the Plateau, James � oreson, and the two got to work.

With a goal of raising $8,500 by the end of March, the duo have already raised close to $2,000 through donations and three bake sales at various Sammamish storefronts. When they meet their goal, the money will go to build a school in the desert region of Rajasthan in

northern India where 60 percent of girls have dropped out of primary school and many families live below the poverty line.

Issaquah Mayor Ava Fris-inger � rst took o� ce in 1998. She has been re-elected twice, and now, in her fourth term, she’s decided not to seek the o� ce again.

At Monday’s regular city council meeting Frisinger delivered what will be her � nal state of the city address.

In her address, she brought the crowd back to 1998 - when City Hall South on Sunset Way didn’t exist, Friends of the Is-saquah Salmon Hatchery was a � edgling organization, and Costco had just settled into its headquarters not long before.

Much has changed since 1998, including the develop-ment of the Issaquah High-lands.

“While we’ve grown by more than 140 percent since 1998, most would say we still have that small town feel,” Frisinger said. “Why? Our citizens are heard. We care about each other and our larger commu-nity.”

Now with the approval of the Central Issaquah Plan, which will guide the core of Issaquah as it transforms from parking lots and strip malls to a more sustainable urban area, although Frisinger will no lon-ger be at the helm, she said she is con� dent that in 30 years Is-saquah will be pleased with the outcome of the CIP because of its dedicated citizens, busi-nesses and volunteers.

TOGETHER, MAKING HEARTS

STRONGER Through Powerful Partnerships

For nearly 30 years, the Sammamish Club has been home to some of the most respected tennis instructors and accomplished players in the region. In the coming months, it’s new owners hope the club retains its sense of community and continues to act as a gather-ing place, only around a different sport.

Arena Sports, an orga-nization focused on youth and adult soccer clinics and leagues, is slated to close its purchase of the property on March 1 and begin several renovations that include the removal of the club’s four indoor tennis courts. That area will become home to the signature of Arena Sports, indoor soccer fields, as well as inflatable play structures.

Larry Mounger was one

of the original owners of the club when it began as the Mark Frisby Tennis Academy in the 1980s and played for the University of Washington during his time as a collegian. He and Frisby said the transition is necessary, but still difficult after so many years.

“I have very mixed emo-tions,” Mounger said. “I’m really sorry that tennis is not going to continue.”

The Sammamish Club currently employs six USPTA or USPTR certified tennis instructors, includ-ing Frisby, with nearly 150 years of combined experi-ence. It has become known over the years for its tennis programs, which cover a broad range of abilities and age levels. Frisby, who is also the tennis coach at Seattle University, said he coached more than 200 nationally ranked players and upwards of 2,000 who have garnered a USTA re-gional ranking in the Pacific Northwest during his time at the Sammamish Club.

“I’ve been blessed to work with great people and I’m thankful for that,” Frisby said. “Life brings these things and for me, I’m just thankful for the people I got to teach and got to

know, they are unbelievable people.”

The owners had been hopeful a group composed of current members would be able to purchase the club and keep it focused on its roots in tennis, but that plan did not materialize.

Alison Bailey has been a member at the club for

eight years and is the cap-tain of a USTA team that will call it home for only three weeks longer. She said her team and several others have made arrangements at Eastside Tennis Center for the remainder of their schedule. But she said for herself as well as many of her friends, the initiation

fees and dues at the other tennis clubs in the area are simply out of her price range.

“Most of the other teams are going to be split up or have their home matches absorbed by other clubs,” she said. “We’ve been play-ing on teams together for six or seven years and we don’t know what we’re go-ing to do.”

Instead the city will welcome one of its own in Arena Sports and CEO Don Crowe, who has called Is-saquah home since 1998.

Crowe purchased the company that same year and has helped turn it into one of the most popu-lar sports outlets in and around Seattle with three facilities and a host of satel-lite locations. He moved to Issaquah the same year he became Arena Sports CEO and said the company al-ready has a following there as well as in Sammamish.

“I wanted to get involved in a business my whole family could be involved in,” Crowe said. “We don’t go after the elite athlete, we go after the 50-year-old mom who has never played. It’s about fun, safety and community.”

Crowe’s own family is

heavily involved in the company, including his wife, who was key in the de-velopment of the signature Arena Sports venture, Lil’ Kickers. That program cur-rently operates at the Pine Lake Covenant Church and Crowe said the increased visibility and capacity of the Sammamish Club facility will only add to the options for Issaquah and Samma-mish residents in search of a field or league.

“I want it to be a cher-ished community resource,” he said, adding Arena Sports will invest around $1 million to give the exist-ing facilities including the locker rooms a makeover and purchase new exercise equipment, among other upgrades.

While the tennis commu-nity at the club will soon be left waiting for sunshine to make outdoor courts acces-sible or looking for a home at one of the other tennis clubs on the Eastside, soc-cer enthusiasts and those hoping to remain active will have a new home in Issaquah.

“I’m very excited,” Crowe said. “I’ve been driving by here for 16 years and I always thought it would be great to have soccer here.”

February 1, 2013, marked the 10th an-niversary of National Wear Red Day®, an event that was inspired to help raise aware-ness of the shocking frequency of heart dis-ease in women. That first National Wear Red Day® in 2003 subsequently motivated the American Heart Association to create Go Red for Women, a social initiative in-tended to increase awareness, educate and inspire women to take action in the fight against heart disease. Funds raised for this initiative are also used to support scientific research and develop new tools and treat-ments in the fight against heart disease. Go Red for Women is QFC’s Charity of the Month for February.

Here are some sobering facts provided by the American Heart Association. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the U.S. It accounts for 1 of every 3 women’s deaths. 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors that can lead to heart dis-ease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. Heart disease can affect women of all ages, even women who lead healthy lifestyles, if they have other risk factors. 64 percent of women who die suddenly from coronary

heart disease had no previous symptoms. Despite those statis-tics, only about 20% of women believe that heart disease is the greatest health threat they face.

Go Red for Women and the American Heart Association are combatting heart disease through awareness and educa-tion and by motivating women to take action. Awareness in-cludes understanding the symp-toms of a heart attack, which can be different in women than in men. Women’s symptoms can include shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain. Other symptoms women should look out for are dizziness, light-headedness or fainting, pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen and extreme fa-tigue.

Knowing those symptoms is important, but wouldn’t it be even better to avoid those symptoms? And that means taking actions to reduce the risk of ever having a heart attack. Some of the actions the American Heart Association recommends are: not smoking, managing your blood sugar, get-

ting your blood pressure under control, lowering your cholesterol, knowing your family history of heart disease, staying ac-tive, losing weight and eating healthfully.

Eating healthfully will have multiple benefits. A diet rich in a variety of veg-etables and fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains can be a great de-fense against the onset of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease. The AHA recommends that an adult consum-ing 2,000 calories daily should aim for:

Fruits and vegetables:• At least 4.5 cups a day.

Fish (preferably oily fish, like •salmon): At least two 3.5-ounce servings a week.

Fiber-rich whole grains:• At least three 1-ounce servings a day.

Nuts, legumes and seeds:• At least 4 servings a week, opting for unsalted varieties whenever possible

Business owners who responded to a survey sent out in the fall of 2012, cite transportation as the biggest hurdle to flourishing in Issaquah.

The relatively new city Economic Development Depart-ment sent the survey to 2,300 Issaquah businesses. It had 271 responses, or 12 percent of those sent out.

Overall, 73 percent of the businesses that responded rated Issaquah as “good” or “excellent” as far as the busi-ness climate is concerned.

Of the businesses responding, 21 percent were profes-sional/technical, 18 percent were in health care, 10 percent were retail establishments and 6 percent were in food services.

Of those who responded, 83 percent were located exclusively in Issaquah, whereas 14 percent belonged to a chain with other locations. Most acknowledged that their businesses have had a slow but steady recovery since the recession began in 2008.

“Flat is the new up, so as long as we are flat we are happy with that,” said one anonymous business owner.

Seventy-two percent of the respondents declared their businesses stable, while 47 percent were planning to expand.

But transportation was a big thorn in the side for many.

Swedish Hospital stated there is no bus service to the Highlands for its early and weekend shift workers, so many have resorted to sleeping on campus so they get to work on time. Yet 23 percent said the biggest advantage to doing business in Issaquah was accessibility, i.e. access off of I-90, followed by demographics and the fact that Issaquah is a close-knit community. Downtown parking was mentioned as a problem.

Signage was also a bone of contention, because it is very limiting. Temporary signs are too restrictive, only allowed to stay up for a short period of time, and multiple signs are not allowed. For example, if a business wanted to advertise that it carries a specific brand, that’s not allowed.

“Some areas are different from others, because they were grandfathered,” said Andrea Lehner, manager of the Eco-nomic Development Department for the city.

City regulations and space to expand were problematic as well. Ten percent of the respondents are planning to close or relocate outside of Issaquah over the next five years. Lack of marketing assistance and the need for better infrastructure were the two most common reasons for wanting to move.

The cost of B&O taxes wasn’t an issue, but the process was too onerous for at least six percent of the respondents.

Cindy Creel owns Gypsy Specs Traveling Optician. She is an optician, who comes to you with a wide variety of

frames. She said trying to pay her B&O taxes was trying because of the odd hours for doing so at city hall. Also, she said she needed assistance filling out the forms. A Member of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, Creel said she thought the survey was great and she does enjoy doing business in Issaquah.

Although her business is mobile, she lives in Issaquah and serves clients primarily in Issaquah and Sammamish. She has been an optician for over 16 years.

Employers are having difficulty recruiting new hires be-cause of transportation, but also due to lack of affordable and work-force housing. A large majority, 70 percent of employ-ees, earn under $60,000 annually, with 78 percent of those working in services and retail. Housing affordability is typi-cally defined as 25 to 33 percent of a total household budget. With the average single family home price in Issaquah at $451,500 and median rent of $1,750, an Issaquah worker making $60,000 can typically afford housing costs of $1,250 to $1,666 per month. Those making less than $60,000, don’t stand a chance of living in the city they work in.

Employee training is also needed, with businesses expressing interest in the yet to be built Bellevue College Issaquah offering programs that complement local needs.

Just as the Super Bowl pits championship teams against one another, advertisers use the screen time to spar for the game’s most memorable 30-second spot. It’s estimated that around 108 million people watched this

year, leading some companies to pay as much as $4 million for less than a minute of their viewers’ time. But the content of these Super Bowl ads has become painfully predictable: bikinis, near naked models and probably some combination of the two and a slow motion car wash. � is year, viewers took it took to Twitter, using the hash tag “NotBuyingIt” to show their contempt for the oversexed and mostly o� ensive TV slots.

“Give it a rest @GoDaddy. Women are sexy AND smart. Glad I took my business elsewhere. #NotBuyin-gIt” tweeted one user in reference to an advertisement that described the web hosting company as a combi-nation of brains and beauty. � e ad featured a blonde supermodel and an overweight geek sloppily making out. Guess which of the two was supposed to represent the intellect of that pairing?

� e social media campaign, led by the activist nonpro� t Miss Representation, generated an estimated 10,000 tweets and targeted such companies as GoDad-dy.com, Carl’s Jr. and Fiat.

Sure Super Bowl ads shouldn’t be over-intellectual-ized, and some Twitter users may have harped exces-sively on companies merely trying to earn a laugh, but with 10,000 tweets, there’s something to be said for viewers’ criticism of the boringly predictable gender stereotypes.

� e Super Bowl’s audience is estimated to be about 50 percent female. And having watched the game with my cousins, aged 16, 14 and 8, I know it’s also seen by many young eyes.

As one Twitter user commented: “� e #superbowl commercials are a window into American culture and values.” In 2007 Janet Jackson’s infamous wardrobe mal-function created national uproar. Surely, we can hold our commercials to higher standards as well.

ASSAULT WEAPON LOGIC FAULTY ON TWO FRONTS

Jared Oh’s letter regarding assault weapons contains several stellar exam-ples of faulty logic. But in the interest of space, let’s touch on two.

Oh claims the common denomi-nator to some mass shootings is the assault weapon. Actually, the most common denominator to ALL mass shootings — not just three, and in-cluding the tragedy at Newtown — is the “gun-free zone.” � at brilliant idea came from the same geniuses who now believe “banning” a certain weap-on will stop a certain kind of crime.

� at’s like saying if we just got rid of forks, nobody would be fat.

But Oh also stated: “� e federal government should have the right to enter private property and inspect your assault weapon . . . .”

I read that statement three times. � en I read it out loud to my husband. � en, I walked over to the map, mak-ing sure we were still in the United States of America.

Oh clearly enjoys his right to free speech. But he needs to bone up on US history. His free speech came from � ghting — with guns, I might add — against the British. Our Constitu-tion then granted certain rights to the people, NOT to the government. Our forefathers knew that power always corrupts, always. I wonder how Oh would react if I suggested, “� e gov-ernment should have the right to enter private property and inspect anyone’s notes and letters and journals . . . .”

But I would never suggest that. Because while I don’t agree with Oh’s

opinion, I do support his right to state it. � at is America. Let’s hope the anti-gun fanatics will recognize truth and quit fear-mongering away our rights as citizens.

LETTER WRITER MISINFORMED ON GUNS

Jared Oh’s letter (“Focus on Assault Weapons,” Feb. 1) shows that he is misinformed and ignorant of the facts. � e most egregious statement comes when he states that “� e federal government should have the right to enter private property and inspect your assault weapon with 72 hours notice.”

No they shouldn’t. Has Oh ever heard of the Fourth Amendment? � at’s the one that protects us from unreasonable search and seizure. As a law-abiding gun owner I would ve-hemently claim that Oh’s suggestion goes beyond unreasonable.

I would also like to inform Oh of the fact that you are more likely to get hit by a car crossing the street than gunned down by a lunatic wielding a semi-automatic ri� e. � e facts, which Oh could have looked up for himself had he chosen to take the time, aren’t that surprising.

Here’s something from FactCheck.org: � e United States has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world — by far. And it has the highest rate of homicides among advanced countries. And yet, gun crime has been declining in the U.S. Firearm murders are down, as is overall gun violence — even as gun ownership increases.

“Once the study is completed this spring, it’s time that a � nal decision is made,” she said. “Clarity is needed for both Issaquah and the residents of the Klahanie PAA.”

Frisinger said the city has the right vision, people and passion to continue the hard work she has been a part of for 16 years.

Geneva and James have recruited a total of 13 other students on both sides of the Plateau. Many of those student’s younger siblings have also gained an interest.

the heck, why would I do this,” Geneva said. “I’ve already got so much on my plate with sports, school, friends, church and family, but then I was like you know what, there’s so much that comes out of it and that you take away from it.”

� e students baked all the goods they sold on their own, spending an estimated 20 hours on their � rst three bake sales. � ey are looking to do other fundraisers over the next two months, including car washes and door-to-door donations.

“� e generosity of everybody was just amazing,” Geneva said. “� ey were just giving $20s and not taking anything.”

The following information was compiled from City of Sammamish police reports:

MeSSY SiTUaTiOnA Sammamish man

called police Feb. 2 to report multiple household items were strewn across his neighbor’s front yard.

Police found a coffee table, food and various decorative items in front of the home in the 2000 block

of 227th Avenue Northeast. Officers also spotted an

unresponsive 63-year-old man inside the home and contacted a family friend, who let them inside.

The man woke up when the officers entered and was transported to the hospital for involuntary commitment and detox. The man’s wife left a few days earlier after he was arrested for DUI.

TRUnK dRivinGSammamish police

pulled over a 17-year-old

boy leaving Margaret Mead Elementary School late on Feb. 2 after he drove away with his trunk wide open.

Police detected a strong odor of marijuana and found a half empty bottle of vodka on the floor. The boy was arrested for being under the influence.

MUddY PRinTSA Sammamish man

called police Jan. 27 to re-port large muddy footprints and dents on the hood of his car parked in the 3000 block of 230th Lane Southeast. The man said he awoke to a loud sound around 2 a.m. and saw someone standing on the car next to his.

The BlotterPolice reports from Issaquah and Sammamish

BY Kevin [email protected]

Muslims seeking approval of a Sam-mamish mosque and neighbors hoping to prevent the project will get to argue their sides in front of a hearing exam-iner on Feb. 11.

The review is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at City Hall and is open to the public. According to city senior planner Evan Maxim, a final decision is expected a week or two after the hearing.

In September of 2012, the city gave the Sammamish Muslim Association approval to convert a 2,900-foot home into a prayer center in the 22000 block of Southeast 20th Street, just north of Pine Lake. The group first submitted its application for a prayer center in August 2010.

Shortly after the SMA received ap-proval, the group “Friends of SE 20th” appealed the decision, forcing the hearing examiner review. The commu-nity group has cited several concerns, including overflow parking, pedestrian needs, the outfall of a stormwater re-tention pond and protection of wildlife.

After giving its conditional approval

last fall, the city tried to ease com-munity concerns, noting the facility is not much different than other religious institutions in similar neighborhoods throughout Sammamish.

The conversion of the single-family would be accompanied by the addition of 44 parking spaces, allowing members to practice Friday noon and Ramadan prayers on site. It would also open up space for community events, like wed-dings.

Under current regulations, the group is only allowed eight cars on site.

Wassim Fayed, a member of the mosque’s board of trustees, said in Sep-tember that the extra parking would be beneficial for the Sammamish Muslim Association and the organization would remain conscious of its neighbors.

“We are residents of Sammamish and we are indeed friends of SE 20th,” he said. “We want to keep Sammamish beautiful and truly make it a place to call home. Our kids go to the same schools as our neighbors and we want to continue to be good citizens. The best thing we can do as a community is to get to know each other. We love Sammamish and we love our neighbors.”

Mosque debate goes to hearing examiner

CorrectionIn the Feb. 1 story, “Trouble a brew,”

it was stated that the Issaquah Camping

Club filed bankruptcy. It should have read that the Camping Club foreclosed on the note holder, Issaquah Highlands, LLC.

� ere are now two candidates vying to be Issaquah’s next mayor.

Joe Forkner, a 22-year resident of Issaquah, who lives on Squak Mountain with his wife, Michele, was recently appointed to � ll the city council seat vacated by Mark Mullet. Forkner will serve the rest of Mullet’s term, which expires Nov. 2013.

Now he’s running for mayor.Forkner served on the Issaquah City

Council from 2000 – 2007. Forkner said based on his employment history and experience he is ready to lead Issaquah into the future, while still maintaining its small town charm and appeal.

Forkner’s only opponent so far is fellow city council member Fred Butler.

Forkner, 59, said he wants to run a

high-performance organization, promoting workforce housing, better transportation options, economic vitality and tourism. He was the Task Force Chair for the Central Issaquah Plan.

Development standards for the CIP should be done by the end of this year, but he acknowledged that many community members are leery of the CIP, mainly be-cause they su� er from lack of information. He wants to boil down the information so it’s less laborious for folks to plow through.

He said now that he is on the city council he can help implement the communication between city hall and the public.

“Most of my experience is local,” Forkner said. “I feel I’m more in tune with what’s going on in the city in many ways.”

Forkner said he will be a working mayor, visible, not an administrator behind a desk. He has served multiple terms on Issaquah’s development commission, planning policy commission, cable television commission and the parks board. Additionally, Forkner has served on the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Issaquah As-sociation boards of directors.

Forkner to take boots on the ground approach

Joe Forkner

Issaquah resident Glenn Anderson, who served six terms (12 years) in the Washington State House representing Issaquah and Sammamish, was one of 29 applicants who interviewed Tuesday for a seat on the Port of Seattle commission.

� e seat was le� open a� er former commissioner Gael Tarleton resigned to serve in the house.

Anderson said there

were 29 candidates, which will be scaled down to six next week. � ose six will participate in town hall question and answer fo-

rums with the public Feb. 25 and 26. � e � nal choice will be made sometime in the � rst week of March.

Anderson has a bach-elor’s degree in economics from the University of Alabama, with a minor in political science and a concentration in interna-tional trade economics. He said a� er 35 years, his interest in international trade would come to use if appointed.

Anderson applies for seat in Port Commission

For most of her life, Rachel Ainslie just dealt with the discomfort.

� e Eastlake High School senior can’t remember when she � rst began experiencing an erratic heart beat or even a skip, but she never thought it was out of the ordinary and didn’t want to overreact, especially with a set of symptoms that were di� cult to pin down.

“I had it my entire life but I thought it was normal,” Ainslie said. “I thought I was being a wimp by succumbing to it.”

Her radar ramped up a� er an epi-sode on an amusement park ride in middle school le� her with blurred vision and peaked as she began at Eastlake. Ainslie was out to dinner with her parents and friends of the family when she began experiencing the telltale sign of an increasingly rapid heart beat. Her parents took her to a local � re station, where she was given � uids and monitored. While a frightening experience for the entire family, the trip led to a long-awaited diagnosis: Supraven-tricular Tachycardia.

Characterized by the unpredict-able, rapid heart beat Ainslie had become familiar with, SVT is a malfunction in the heart’s electrical

system that causes it to beat as fast as 300 beats per minute, or more than three times the usual resting rate.

“It was impossible to see what was happening unless an episode was going on,” Ainslie said.

A� er the diagnosis, the outlook was much clearer. In order to avoid the complications that can arise if it goes untreated, Ainslie and her fam-ily elected for surgery.

With the condition diagnosed and the procedure complete, Ainslie was able to get back on the court for the Eastlake girls and her older sister Katy, living out a career she had been visualizing since childhood.

“Being on the varsity team was something I always thought was in-credible,” she said. “When I was little I asked one of the senior girls for her autograph.”

A� er helping the Lady Wolves to the 4A state tournament last year, Ainslie almost saw her � nal prep campaign end before it even began.

During an AAU game in the spring, Ainslie was recovering on the defensive end of the � oor when her knee buckled beneath her. Since the injury occurred on a routine move she had completed countless times before, the diagnosis came as a shock: a torn ACL in her knee, an injury with an expected recovery time of a year.

� e � rst few months a� er the injury were the most di� cult, as the senior-to-be considered the suddenly acute possibility she would never again put on the Eastlake uniform she dreamed of wearing for so many years.

“I don’t know what I was except-ing,” she said. “But I know it wasn’t to watch the muscle in my leg disap-pear.”

Physical therapy sessions stopped the atrophy in her muscles and eventually gave her back enough functional strength to begin more sport-speci� c training like jump-ing and making quick changes of direction on a run or out of a back-pedal. Ainslie said the sessions were sometimes intensely di� cult, but an obvious choice with her Eastlake teammates waiting for another 4A state tournament run.

“I was really happy, close to tears,” Ainslie said of the day she returned to the practice � oor this season. “It is the best feeling in the world.”

Eastlake opened play in the 4A KingCo girls basketball tournament on Wednesday evening a� er the Reporter’s deadline against New-port. A win would move the Lady Wolves into Saturday’s tournament semi-� nals against either Bothell or Sammamish rival Skyline.
