Start a conversation about big cats with Cougar Mountain Zoo general curator, Robyn Barfoot, and you quickly learn how passionate she is
about tiger conservation – and all wildlife in general. Barfoot will leave Saturday for a three-week trip to India to pro-
mote conservation of these magni� cent cats, and bring that knowl-edge back to the patrons of the zoo.
India holds over 1,700 tigers, about half the world’s tiger popula-tion. Nepal and Bangladesh are also home to tigers.
� is is not her � rst time to India – and the zoo does not pay for her trip. Barfoot, who received her degree in biology with an em-phasis in wildlife conservation from Arizona State University, made the journey two years ago a� er meeting her now good friend, Danita Daniel, who lives in India. Daniel, who works on tiger conserva-tion in India, came to Issaquah a few years ago to meet Barfoot a� er learning that the small zoo had acquired four tigers.
“We instantly clicked,” Barfoot said. � ey both have passion for tigers and how they can save them
from becoming an extinct species. “We’ve lost 97 percent of the tiger population in the wild in the last
100 years, due to illegal hunting of tigers,” Barfoot said. “� ere were nine sub-species 100 years ago, now there are six.”
One sub-species, the North China Tiger, only exists in captivity and there are only 30 of them remaining, Barfoot said.
� e tiger is valued, particularly by the Chinese, for traditional Chinese medicines. � ey use the entire animal – whiskers, bones, everything – to make various “cures” for various ailments, none of which have been scienti� cally proven to work, according to Barfoot, but it’s hard to change traditions that have carried on for years, she added.
An undercover investigation by the Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI) and the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) in 2005 revealed that the trade in tiger and leopard body parts in China continues to thrive, operating without any hindrance from the Chinese government while driving India’s wild tigers closer towards extinction.
Barfoot said there is even a huge black market for tiger parts in San Francisco, where they use tiger for everything from aphrodisiacs to body creams.
“� e only way to save the tiger is to educate people,” Barfoot said. “� e zoo’s purpose is to educate the public that tigers are endan-gered.”
� ere are several tiger preserves in India, which are protected on three sides, Barfoot said. � e fourth side is le� open to encourage

A� er failing in 2005, the issue of annexing Klahanie to Issaquah is being revisited.
Nine individuals appointed to a task force by Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger met for the � rst time Wednesday Jan. 9 to discuss the potential impact of the city annexing Klahanie, which is an unincorporated pocket of King County smack between Sammamish and Is-saquah.
� e citizen task force in-cludes four Issaquah residents: Mary Lou Pauly, Bernadette Anne, Al Erickson, a lifelong resident of Issaquah, retired af-ter 35 years with the Issaquah Parks Department and former Issaquah Mayor, Rowan Hinds.
Klahanie residents on the task force include Barb Justice, Rob Young, a 24-year resident of Klahanie who initiated the e� ort last year, Dick L’Heureux and Brent Marshall, who played a key role in the annex-ation of Eastgate to Bellevue.
“Most of the people we’ve talked to thought it was a done deal,” Young said.
� e task force also includes Don Smith, who is on the board of � re commissioners of King County Fire District 10, and also a retired � re chief.
Pauly, Anne and Justice served on the previous annexa-tion task force.
“It’s a good mix of people with varying views,” said Is-saquah city councilman Fred Butler.
� e task force members are all volunteers, but the consul-tants hired by the city, Tom Nesbitt, of Nesbitt Planning and Management, Inc. along with independent consultant Cynthia Stewart, will be paid

$9,500 for their work with the task force.
The task force is not a policy body, rather a sounding board for the consultants.
The annexation area, although geographi-cally Klahanie and a few surrounding neighbor-hoods, with a population of 10,843, is technically called a Potential Annexa-tion Area or PAA.
In 2005 residents of Klahanie approved an-nexation, but the ballot measure was split into two parts – the first part asked if they should annex to Issaquah, the second part was whether or not
to assume Issaquah’s debt. Anne said you can’t have one without the other, and that the ballot should not be split into two parts this time around.
This first meeting fo-cused on revenue of both Issaquah and Klahanie. The lion’s share of revenue from Klahanie would be property taxes, projected at $1,589,000. Issaquah’s property tax income is $7,129,954. Sales tax, fuel tax, liquor board profits and other taxes bring in more revenue in Issaquah than Klahanie. The advan-tage to Klahanie is better services, such as police and fire service, road and park maintenance.
If Issaquah does annex Klahanie into its bor-ders, due to the expense of servicing the PAA, it
could mean the city would get a sales tax credit of about $1.2 million dollars per year from the state, as long as Issaquah can prove that it is short on revenue.
According to the Mu-nicipal Research and Ser-vices Center of Washing-ton, legislation passed in 2006 allows a city in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties (except Seattle) to levy a sales tax, to be credited against the state tax, to help it fund ser-vices in areas it annexes if it makes a finding that the projected annual costs of providing municipal ser-vices in the area is greater than the projected annual general revenue that it ex-pects to receive from that area. The population in the annexation area must
be at least 10,000, which Klahanie has.
The tax credit is avail-able for 10 years which could help repair Klah-anie’s infrastructure.
“The places that have a fair amount of com-merce have often already been annexed, but ones that haven’t are typically low on sales tax revenue,” Nesbitt said.
The task force will con-tinue to review and revise the first draft by Nesbitt and Stewart. All of the information will be on the city’s web site.
Mark Hinthorne, spe-cial projects director for Issaquah, said the process will be completely trans-parent.
The group will meet next on Feb. 12, at which
time the consultants will have a cost report for the group to review.
Police protection, fire protection, public works, parks and recreation, and water and sewer all have to be taken into consider-ation.

Linda Hays has baked as long as she can remember.
At age 7, she started using her parent’s oven.
At age 16, she baked loaves of bread for fun and sold them to anyone willing to make a purchase.
But it wasn’t until 12 years ago, sitting in a classroom at Green River Community College, her business idea was born.
“I was assigned to do scientific research and I chose hydrogenated oil because I didn’t know what it was,” Hays said. “I started to do research and I realized how bad it was and it’s in a lot of our foods.”
Hays took her newly-gained knowl-edge and put it to use, baking all natural products and selling them at area farmers markets — all with the ultimate goal of one day opening her own storefront.
A decade later, the dream became a real-ity for Hays, who on Monday, opened For-est Fairy Bakery on Issaquah’s Front Street.
“It was a process,” said Hays, noting her father, a 40-year resident of the Pine Lake neighborhood, found the location three years ago.
It’s no mistake her dad played a role in finding a home for the store. In fact, Forest Fairy Bakery is the definition of family-owned business. All five of Linda’s children — four girls and one boy, ranging from
age 11 to 26 — help operate the bakery. Her mother, Shirley and father, Ray, a self-described “handyman” and “gopher,” keep things running smoothly.
However, that’s not where family ends. Many of the recipes have been in the Hays’ cookbook for decades — now done with just a few modifications. There are no hy-drogenated oils or preservatives, meaning only ingredients like real butter and olive oil are used.
“It’s all natural and from scratch,” Linda said. “We try to use local stores ingredients whenever we can.”
Forest Fairy offers up a wide array of items, ranging from yeast breads, to cookies
and cakes, to granola. The bakery also sells C-Squared, or C2 organic home-roasted coffee. The product is made by Tacoma resident Christine Cheng, a friend Linda met on the farmers market circuit.
While the goods themselves are unique, the biggest question Linda encounters revolves around the bakery’s name. The
answer is quite simple. A few years ago, she met with her four daughters, getting their input on what the business should be called. They all stuck to one similar topic — fairies.
“We all like mythical things and we knew the kids would like it,” said Linnette, 19.
Anyone stepping into the location and 485 North Front St. will know immedi-ately they’re in the right place. One wall is entirely covered in a forest mural, while the other has painted fairy plaques represent-ing all of Linda’s kids — Nik (26), Emily (24), Linnette (19), Elaina (17) and Lena

President Obama has taken a strong � rst step in the e� ort to control the deadly spread of guns and death. While some people may disagree with
some parts of his proposal, much of it should be imple-mented by Congress – now.
� e � rst is to renew the prohibition on assault weap-on sales. � is isn’t a radical change. � at was in e� ect in our country until 2004 when the requirement expired. � ere’s no reason is shouldn’t be reinstated.
� e president also wants criminal background checks required on all gun purchases. Again, perfectly reasonable. And those checks must extend to weapons purchased at gun show sales. Another no-brainer that all Americans should support.
Also called for is better access to mental health. � at’s something the president can do now by executive order.
While we praise Obama’s plan, we know that it won’t end gun deaths in this country. Too many millions of guns already exist in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. But doing nothing, or delaying action, only will make things worse.
Predictably, the National Ri� e Association immediately launched a PR campaign and blanketed Capitol Hill with its supporters. We agree with the concerns about the Sec-ond Amendment and that it has constitutional protection. But that doesn’t mean that gun laws can’t be improved.
Also, we’re appalled by the NRA accusing the president of being “just another elitist hypocrite” because the Secret Service protects his daughters, yet he has turned down the proposal to place armed guards in schools. � e NRA’s true believers may agree with that thought, but most Americans should � nd the statement shameful.
MONEY TALKSInteresting to see that Americans for Prosperity, a
conservative group that has the backing of the wealthy Koch family, big donors to Republicans, is telling the GOP to take it easy in the battle over raising the U.S. debt ceiling.
Hmmm. Could it be that the U.S. defaulting on its payments might adversely impact people’s investments?

At the Y, volunteering is part of our DNA as more than half a million people donate their time and talents at Ys across the country in a variety of
capacities. Whether serving on the board of directors or tutoring (and everything in between), the Y relies on vol-unteers to make an impact in communities.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, Jan. 21, the Coal Creek Family YMCA encourages residents of Is-saquah, Renton, Newcastle and south Bellevue to honor Dr. King’s Legacy not only by giving back and supporting our neighbors, but also by re� ecting on how each of us can further activate the passion for contributing to the com-munity that lasts all year long.
But what does it mean to volunteer? Volunteering means more than giving your time to an organization or cause and then getting back to your life. It is about helping oth-ers, contributing to our communities and helping ourselves as well.
A recent Gallup poll showed that nine out of 10 people said they receive an emotional boost from doing kind things for other people. When activated, that kind of emotional boost from contributing to the community goes from something you do to a part of who you are.
Nonpro� t organizations like the Y can help individuals � nd that emotional boost by providing rewarding experi-ences that bene� t the community as a whole. In Issaquah, Renton, Newcastle and South Bellevue, volunteers at the Coal Creek Family YMCA were able to provide over 100 kids with Christmas presents this year… no children were turned away. � ere were at least 96 volunteers who donated their time in purchasing and wrapping gi� s for
families who were not able to a� ord them for their chil-dren. Without the help of these volunteers, parents would not have been able to enjoy the holidays. We were able to come together and provide them with a pleasant, stress-free holiday season.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the perfect time to get into a volunteer routine, to help others and yourself. We are closed on this day of remembrance to allow others to give back.
To learn more about volunteer opportunities at the Coal Creek Family YMCA, contact Vicky Hinds at [email protected].
Judy Smith is Branch Operations Executive for the Coal Creek Family YMCA.
Volunteering: it’s good for you, too

Gwen Schweitzer and Bill Zheng both have had their lives touched by cancer. Schweitzer’s grandmother is a survivor of brain can-cer. Zheng’s grandmother died from colon cancer 10 years ago. Schweitzer and Zheng are this year’s event co-chairs for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, Issaquah.
Relay for Life is the brainchild of Dr. Gordy Klatt of Tacoma. Just this past year, Klatt was diag-nosed with stomach cancer. In a video taped message he said he’s received words of support from all over the world.
� e idea behind Relay is that cancer never sleeps. � erefore, neither do the participants in a Relay, which have now become global events.
Teams are formed, usu-ally with colorful themes. As teams, they raise money through various fund-raisers – bake sales, car washes – anything creative. � en team members take turns walking or running all night around a track –
without sleep. Survivors are always
invited to join in the Survivors Lap, which opens every Relay event. When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminaria are lit to remember those who lost the � ght, or are � ghting cancer or those who fought cancer and won.
At the kick o� event, held at the Hilton Garden Inn, team captains got their kits and words of encourage-ment to set the bar high. � e goal for the Issaquah Relay, which will be held at Issaquah High School this year on June 7–8, is $300,000 and 85 teams. So far, $8,773 has been raised and 32 teams have been formed.
Each team captain was tasked to have at least one survivor on its team.
Zheng, a senior at Skyline High School, is in his fourth year of Relay.
“Relay was something special I found to honor my grandmother,” he said.
He never really got to know her he said. Zheng said last year some of the football players from Skyline stood in front of the Klahanie QFC with a real toilet bearing the sign
“� ush away cancer.” � ey raised $500 in a matter of hours. But, Zheng said, last year they fell $8,000 of the goal for Relay Issaquah, so, he said, corporate sponsor-ships are encouraged.
Aimee Martin, commu-nity relationship manager with the American Cancer Society, said the money raised this year will help fund a new study called CPS3, or Cancer Preven-tion Study 3. CPS1 resulted in evidence that smoking caused lung cancer. CPS3 will monitor participants between ages 30 and 65 to
study how their lifestyle choices a� ect cancer. You must not have been diag-nosed with cancer before to be in the study.
Relay for Life Issaquah will be the only place to enroll in the study because volunteer nurses will have to take some physical measurements and a blood sample. ACS will then mail volunteers follow-up sur-veys regarding diet, exercise and other lifestyle choices.
For more information contact Martin at 206-674-4118 or [email protected].

Sammamish is scheduled to get its second pet store March 12 — at least temporarily — when national re-tailer Petco opens its doors atop the Plateau.
� e 9,623-square-foot store will be located in the Sam-mamish Highlands Shopping Center where the old Ika Sushi and Bento, Rancho Grande Mexican restaurant and Blockbuster Video previously stood.
� e new Sammamish store will mark the 27th Petco lo-cation in Western Washington, with other stores in nearby Redmond and Issaquah.
“We look forward to serving the Sammamish commu-nity and helping pet parents in the area provide the best possible care for their animals with our wide assortment of great products and services,” said Petco Senior Communi-cations Specialist Lisa Epstein, highlighting a wide variety of food options and numerous pet adoption events held throughout the year.
Locally owned pet supply store Civilized Nature, also located in the Sammamish Highlands Shopping Center, an-nounced it plans to move its location to Grand Ridge Plaza in the Issaquah Highlands this summer. � e small business noted the addition of the national store puts them a “great disadvantage in the pet supply industry.”

o� erings to the community, the statistics are not in our fa-vor,” owner D’Arcy Dent wrote on Civilized Nature’s website. “Rather than abandoning the commitment we have to the health and well being of the animals in our community, we have chosen to remain in business and relocate our store.”
Dent noted in the statement that with limited retail space, there just weren’t any other options in Sammamish.
“� is has been a signi� cant topic of great concern for all of us-business owners, and Sammamish citizens alike,” she wrote.
� e City of Sammamish is scheduled to commission an economic development plan in 2013.

Matteson Companies of San Mateo, Calif., has purchased the Langara, a 134-unit apartment property in Issaquah for $28,200,000. Matteson bought the complex, located at 5105 Issaquah-Pine Lake Road, from Polygon Northwest Properties.
John Bellack, president of JB Matteson, Inc. said the company has invest-ment o� cers in each of its West Coast regions who search out properties. Matteson is concentrating its e� orts on an apart-ment portfolio of proper-ties built within the past 10 years that have more modern amenities and less deferred maintenance. Langara was built in 2001.
Over a 15-month period, Matteson expects to close over $300 million in apartment investments in major West Coast markets, in suburban in� ll
locations and in major coastal markets. � e company is concentrating on Arizona, California, Washington and Oregon.
When asked about a slight drop in average rents on the Eastside, he said rents are driven by supply and demand and the Eastside has a modest amount of new units rela-tive to downtown Seattle.
“Investing is a matter of identifying risk,” Bellack said. “Intrinsically, people follow jobs.”
Bellack said the long-term � nancing closed Jan. 15. � e loan was struc-tured over seven years at 3.5 percent interest with predominantly full-term interest only.
Matteson targets 5.5 percent or greater cash � ow returns, which are enhanced by signi� cant tax shelter from deprecia-tion.
Bellack said the prop-erty will be managed by a third-party management company, E & S Ring.

President Barack Obama likes Top Pot Doughnuts. He made a surprise visit to the chain’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue in downtown Seattle in October 2010, while in town campaigning for Sen. Patty Murray.
“All of a sudden Secret Service were swarming around the store,” said co-founder Mark Klebeck.
Now Top Pot is opening a new cafe, most likely in late February, in Rowley Properties’ vintage 1960s-era round building at 12th and Maple, near the Issaquah Transit Center — a building most recently used by Rock N Roll Burgers.
Top Pot will have fresh varieties of its hand-forged doughnuts, fresh-roasted co� ee, locally made pastries, ice cream and sandwiches available daily. For on-the-go commuters, a drive-thru also will be open seven days a week.
Klebeck said he and his partners, brother Michael Klebeck and Joel Radin, have long seen the potential for Issaquah, but they needed the right space, which they found in the quirky round building.
“We love Issaquah,” Klebeck said. “Like many communities around Se-attle, there has been such a loyal Top Pot following by Issaquah residents.”
Top Pot Doughnuts opened its � rst cafe in Seattle in February 2002. � ere are now 13 cafes in the
greater Seattle area. Issaquah will be number 14.
Michael Klebeck and Radin met working at the Seattle’s Best Cafe in Westlake Center. Mark Klebeck was in construction design and building, so he had the knowledge to build out their own spaces. � eir � rst baker, Frank Burklund, was a third-generation baker they found through a classi� ed ad.
“He was retired and his wife wanted him out of the house,” Kle-beck said.
Top Pot is the o� cial co� ee and doughnut source for the Seattle
Seahawks, Seattle Sounders FC and CenturyLink Field.
When Obama stopped in at the downtown Seattle store, Mark Kle-beck was delivering doughnuts to Pete Carroll at the Seahawks train-ing facility in Renton, so he didn’t get to meet the POTUS, but did see the motorcade depart.
Top Pot is regularly featured on � e Travel Channel, Food Network, Rachel Ray, � e Cooking Channel and CNBC.

A 1974 graduate of Issaquah High School, Linda remembers the days when there used to be a bakery downtown. She said she’s proud to bring one back to the com-munity. And while only open for a few days, Linda is optimistic about her business being a hit — especially with the carry over of farmers market customers.
“We’ve had people
come in here and say we’re so glad you’re open now because they haven’t been able to get the products in the winter,” she said.

genetic diversity, but once a tiger is on the outside, they are not safe from their only predator – man. She said sometimes there is even corruption inside the pre-serves, since the people are poor and realize they can get a substantial amount of money for a tiger.
On this trip, she will visit a couple of the preserves and give lectures to college students in Bangladesh on what they can do to help.
“� ese students are � ght-ing for the animals in their country,” Barfoot said.
She also will address 17
villages and 500 children, educating them on the plight of the tiger, and teaching the kids how to “chu� ,” the sound tigers make to greet each other or humans that they know. Barfoot chu� ed at a Tiger in the wild the last time in India, and it responded.
“� ese kids are the future conservationists,” she said.
Barfoot and Daniel also will meet with the past and current directors of Project Tiger, based in India, which aims at en-suring a viable population of Bengal tigers in their natural habitats.
� ey will take a side trip to the Sasan region, the
sole home of pure Asiatic lions. Barfoot said they were hunted almost to ex-tinction in the early 1900s, and now there are only 300 le� . Finally, they will make a stop in Mumbai before wrapping up in the Kanha tiger preserve.
Barfoot has been at the Cougar Mountain Zoo seven years, and in the zoo business for 16. Big cats are her specialty, with tigers her focal point. � e zoo has four Bengal tigers, all males, that it got as cubs from other zoos. Vitez and Bagheera, born in 2009, are brothers and share a habitat. Taj and Almos, born in 2007, are three weeks apart in age and grew up together in their habitat. � e four can’t be all together or they might get into a � ght.
At home, she has two domestic felines, aged 11 and 15, that she rescued.
Barfoot is eager to share her experiences with zoo visitors when she returns. She also would like to see kids in India be able to Skype with students here, to share their ideas on tiger conservation.
“We’re combining our cultures with a common goal,” she said. “It’s so important for them to stay on earth. Carnivores are essential to the circle of
life.”If you’d like to help with
the plight of the tigers, Barfoot recommended Panthera.org, a grass-roots organization, which focuses on saving wild cat species across the globe.
“Instead of going to Starbucks once a month, sent $5 to India,” Barfoot said said.

Student arrested for making false report
At around 10 a.m. Jan. 9, an 18-year-old Issaquah High School student advised school staff and the Issaquah Police De-partment school resource officer that he had seen a man with a gun in the upper parking lot of the school. Schools in the immediate area were placed on lock-down. Additional Issaquah Police officers responded to assist with the investigation
and to provide security for the schools.Upon further questioning of the student,
he admitted to making up the report. All schools resumed normal activities.
The student, a Sammamish resident, was arrested for false reporting and booked at the Issaquah Police Depart-ment.The case is under investigation by the Issaquah Police Department’s Detec-tives Division.

When Gwen Robert-son looks back on her 30 years coaching at Issaquah High School, her fondest memories don’t come from the fastest times or widest margins of defeat.
For Robertson, the most vivid images are the timid faces of uncertain freshmen she sees meandering out to the track each fall and spring.
“� e bottom line is: I re-ally enjoy teens,” she said. “I get to watch them grow up.”
Robertson, who will be inducted into the Wash-ington State Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame later this month, has watched an entire generation of young people grow up while leading the Eagles’ cross country and track teams, including as-sistant coach Tracy Silva and a number of others who have gone from competing with the Eagles to coaching them.
“I think it’s a re� ection of Gwen,” Silva said of the desire alumni have to come back and help lead the pro-gram. “We know what the program is all about and we want to be a part of it.”
Silva was a member of the program and school’s � rst state championship during the spring of 1985, when
Robertson led the Issaquah girls to district and state titles. When Silva thinks of her high school years and her relationship with Rob-ertson, the trophies remain in the background.
A self-described “im-mature freshman,” Silva entered high school the same year Robertson began coaching with the Eagles. With a family that included three brothers, Silva said she was excited at the prospects of working with a young, female coach. Robertson remembers an introverted, quiet Silva that � rst year and said her growth in the pro-gram and in the years since is an example of why she has remained a coach for three decades.
“She was just very shy, I could hardly get two words out of her,” Robertson recalled. “Now, she is one of my primary assistants. She has just grown up great.”
Robertson was a talented and accomplished athlete in her own right, making the U.S. National Team in race walking from 1983-86. Career opportunities and her husband’s family ties brought her to the Paci� c Northwest originally, but it is her years as a coach that have made Robertson a respected � gure around the
prep running community. As she prepares for induc-
tion to the Hall of Fame, a process that was only recently facilitated when a rule stating only retired coaches could enter was changed, it is those relation-ships that continue to de� ne her career.
“You don’t go into coaching to get honors and awards,” she said. “But when
your peers recognize you that way, it makes you feel good that you have impact-ed people.”
� e Cross Country Coaches Association will induct the new members of its Hall of Fame at its annual convention in concert with the Track & Field Coaches Association on Friday, Jan. 18 at the Everett Holiday Inn beginning at 6:45 p.m.

Sammamish residents wanting a unique artistic experience don’t have to venture far.
From now, through March 29, the Sammamish Arts Commission will fea-ture the art of internation-ally acclaimed visual artist Donald Fels.
The works displayed in the Commons Gallery in the Sammamish City Hall are a result of his work with traditional billboard painters in Kochi, Kerala in the South of India in 2006. The four large billboard style panels tell the story of the hard-working women “construction workers” who outsource themselves to Kerala from the poor area of Tamil Nadu.
The artist worked next to the women at Kerala, who devote six months of their lives every year to work-ing on the billboards. Fels befriended some of the women at a construction
site, who allowed him to take their pictures. He then designed paintings that the billboard painters made from the photographs.
“Essentially these Tamil women take the place of donkeys and are used extensively as dirt and rubble carriers in and out of construction sites,” a
press release stated. “Fels was struck by the physical and psychological strength of these women, despite, or perhaps because of, their very difficult lives.”
Fels also has 14 works on display that he created by using recycled materials and Indian distemper paint.
The renowned artist is active in the U.S., Europe and Asia. He holds a B.A. in Art, History and Literature from Wesleyan Univer-sity, and an M.A. Ed. with Honors from City Univer-sity where he was the Board of Governor’s Presidential Scholar. He also studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and the University of Washington.
The Washington State Arts Commission has re-cently purchased an entire series of Fels’ paintings completed in South India, for permanent installation at University of Washington Tacoma Honors College.
More information about the artist can be found at, www.artisthinker.com.

“Long Torso” by Donald Fels.
Eastside StoryWhat’s happening in nearby cities
New Zealand mud snails have been discov-ered in two Bellevue creeks and there’s nothing that can get rid of them, officials say. The shells, shaped like ice cream cones, range in size from a grain of sand, to one-fifth an inch. Though tiny, mud snails are known to reproduce at a rapid pace, dam-aging a fragile ecosystem as they multiply. The long-term consequences are unknown.
The so-called “skateboard burglar” was charged with two counts of residential burglary on Dec. 26 in King County Su-perior Court. Johnny Clayton Wollum, of University Place, was charged with break-ing, entering and stealing from a woman’s kirkland home in mid-November.
A male suspect pepper-sprayed a home-owner on Dec. 31 during a residential rob-bery in unincorporated King County near Redmond. A man and woman in their 50s were in bed sleeping when two men — with their faces concealed — confronted them. The suspects took some property and fled out the back of the house.
The Boys and Girls Clubs and the City of Bellevue will partner on the construc-tion of new facilities planned for Hidden Valley Park. The project includes a 24,655 square-foot community center, with three basketball courts, office space and room enough for sports like pickle ball, volley-ball, badminton, even batting cages.
The King Conservation District has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Rose Foundation to help enhance an urban stream running through the North Creek Business Park in the Bothell area.
