Hot on the trail of a fresh scent, Sam weaves his way across the pitch black Sammamish

street. Deputy Chris West sprints closely behind

the 19-month-old German Shepard, leash in one hand and � ashlight in the other.

With his nose to the ground and tail pointed skyward, Sam stops and barks to alert West of a piece of evidence — a large hammer — in the grass.

It’s not long and Sam is back on the scent, bolting down Stan Chapin Way towards East-lake High School. � e long-haired Shepard targets a dark corner where he � nds his prize hiding behind a utility box. Under his han-dler’s direction, Sam latches onto the perp’s arm, subduing the suspect all while ending another textbook training session by the King County Sheri� ’s O� ce K-9 unit.

Scenes like this aren’t rare on the Plateau — in fact, they’re quite common. Since opening its new Eastside precinct in June 2012, the King County Sheri� ’s O� ce has trained a handful of dogs and operated multiple “tracks,” four nights a week in Sammamish neighbor-hoods.

It’s a location they consider ideal. “� ere are lots of trails and lots of foot traf-

� c, so when we’re training at night there’s all kinds of smells,” said Sergeant Je� Flohr, K-9 supervisor for the county. “It’s pretty amazing when you take into account all the people who have been out during the day.”

On the same note, Flohr wants the public to know they are completely safe around the dogs.

“We are so con� dent in what we do, in our training, we’re doing it live,” he said. “� e dogs came across several citizens last week and they were just like, ‘you’re not the person I’m tracking.’”

Recent television news reports focused on a pair of alleged maulings by a Lakewood Police Department dog in 2010 and 2011. Fair or not, the reports have generated negative attention to other K-9 units in the region.

Deputy Randy Potter, a certi� ed trainer and handler, is responsible for teaching all seven human and canine members of the KCSO team — a group whose coverage spans from Shoreline to Federal Way. He makes it clear that biting is the last resort when it comes to tracking a suspect.

“� e primary focus of the dog is a locating tool and it’s a use of force option a� er that,” he said.

All KCSO handlers and dogs are required to have 400 hours of training. In that time they undergo obedi-ence, tracking and man/bite work. Each handler also brings his dog home with him where it doubles as a family pet.

“Once we get out of the car, we’re done with our work day,” said West, who is transitioning to his fourth work dog, Sam. “If we need to go back to work instantaneously, the dogs always know, ‘hey dad’s going for his uniform, the closet’s open, it’s time to go.’”

Deputy Clint Herman was just brought

on to the K-9 team three months ago a� er doing “quarry,” or pretend bad-guy work the last seven years. He was given 3-year-old Atilla, a German import, who along with Sam will be the newest additions a� er they complete training. Herman has two young children at home, a 3-month old

and a 2-year-old. “He knows when he’s at home and he knows

when he’s at work,” said Herman, showing a cell phone picture of his 2-year-old son using Atilla as a bean bag chair. “He likes to lick and play. He’ll knock you over by rubbing up

Issaquah’s ban on plastic bags only went into e� ect March 1, but already a group has � led an initiative to reverse the ordinance.

“Save Our Choice” needs to get 2,843 valid signatures to put the issue to a public vote on the Aug. 6 primary election ballot.

“We � rmly believe that the vast majority of Issaquah’s citi-zens oppose this nanny-state policy and give poor marks to this council for not trusting them enough to have referred this question to the voters,” said Craig Keller, who is push-ing the e� ort.

Keller, who lives in West Seattle, attempted a similar initiative in Seattle, but didn’t gather enough signatures.

Keller said the organization collected 2,700 signatures in Issaquah last June, but didn’t meet the city’s deadline to � le. � is time the group has six months, and he is con� dent he can collect the needed signa-tures in two months.

“� is is not a West Seattle issue, this is not an Issaquah issue, it’s an agenda that’s driven by fanatics globally and locally,” Keller said.

Mark Mullet, who initiated the bag ban in Issaquah when he was on the city council, now represents District 5 in the state Senate.

Businesses with a build-ing square footage of 7,500 square feet or larger have to comply immediately, but they are allowed to use up stock of remaining plastic bags.

All other retail establish-ments have until March 1, 2014, to comply, but can start sooner and charge the 5 cent fee for paper bags.

It appears a former NBA player squat-ting in his foreclosed, million-dollar Sammamish home has � nally moved on.

KOMO News reported Tuesday former Seattle Sonic and Oklahoma City � under player Rob-ert Swi� vacated the 6,000-square-foot home in the 21000 block of Southeast 40th Place.

Swi� , a former � rst-round Sonic pick, refused to leave

the property a� er it was purchased by Eric Dalzell and Jessica Ko-Dalzell in January.

� e new owners told KOMO that Swi� , and whoever else was living in the home, le� sometime over the weekend. � ey were � nally able to see the inside of the

home for the � rst time Monday. Pictures of the interior showed piles of

pizza boxes, empty beer bottles, dog feces and holes punched in the wall. � ere were also several guns and ammunition.

KOMO also reported that Swi� ap-peared to have a makeshi� gun range in the basement of the home. Some of the beams were reportedly grazed and the foundation of the home appeared to be the backstop for the bullets.

Sammamish Police spokesperson Jes-sica Sullivan said that it is up to the home owner as to whether or not they want law enforcement to remove the weapons.

“To date, the new owner has not con-tacted us about turning over anything le� in the house,” she said.

Sullivan con� rmed the department was asked to impound a couple of Swi� ’s vehicles that were illegally parked on the street, near the house.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of joint-replacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.

Erickson Logging, Inc. applied for a state permit Feb. 28 to log 216 acres it owns on Squak Mountain. If approved, the company could begin harvesting the timber in 30 days.

Brian Flint, a spokesman for the state Department of Natural Resources, said Kurt Erickson, the company’s owner, has to demonstrate that what he intends to do is within the law. If the DNR sees no irregularities in the application, Erickson can move forward with the harvest.

“People apply for these permits all the time,” Flint said. “That doesn’t mean he’s going to log it right away.”

Erickson has said he will either sell it to the county, or log it. He said he under-stands the county has a number of steps it has to take before it can buy land, so he is willing to be patient.

“Oh yeah, I’ll wait until May or June,” Erickson said. “As long as we’re commu-nicating. But I have financial institutions I have to answer to.”

The headwaters of May Creek are on Squak Mountain, and flooding is already a problem. Area residents are concerned the situation could get worse if this natural sponge is taken away.

“The process is working as it should – the state forest practice board will review the application extensively with an inter-disciplinary team looking at all issues and

the public will be able to have their input as well,” said county commissioner Reagan Dunn.

Dunn added that he is confident the county will find the money to purchase the 216-acres. The King County Parks division is submitting an application for money from the Conservation Futures fund this month.

Dunn has said that by May the county will know if the Squak Mountain property is approved for the funds.

The state Supreme Court made the right call last week when it ruled that the Legislature can pass a tax increase with only a majority vote. Let’s hope

lawmakers don’t run amuck with this power.� e state had lived with that simple majority idea for

years until Tim Eyman pushed his initiative mandating a two-thirds approval by the House and Senate to raise taxes. Voters liked the idea and said so several times at the polls.

We did, too, but not because we’re anti-tax.While a two-thirds requirement to raise taxes was

burdensome, it did force the Legislature to set priorities for what became a more and more limited pot of money. � at made for tough decisions, but more responsible government.

Too o� en a combination of a simple majority to raise taxes and essentially one-party control resulted in lawmakers caving in to the special interests of their sup-porters. � ey got re-elected, but at a higher and higher cost to the taxpayer.

� e two-thirds requirement gave lawmakers an easy out when state workers, for example, sought higher wages and more bene� ts. Suddenly, the push for a fatter paycheck had to compete with the needs of the poor for lifesaving food and medicine.

Lawmakers still need that discipline. � e fact that raising taxes is now easier doesn’t mean

that it should be the � rst choice in balancing budgets. We still expect legislators to be prudent with the public purse.

Voters have shown over several elections that they want taxes kept under control. Legislators should remember that while it only takes a simple majority to raise taxes, that’s also the same percent needed to sweep them out of o� ce.

Before coming to � e Reporter nearly two years ago, I held a number of jobs in a variety of industries.

Desperation helped me acquire my � rst post-college job, while a background in sports landed gigs as a

day-camp coach and sta� member at a Boys and Girls Club. Eventually, I found myself in the less-than-thrilling world of grocery.

If nothing else, it provided an oppor-tunity to over analyze one of the most mundane activities we undertake.

Elderly folks o� en wanted bags loaded lighter, while others seemed intent on � nding out just how much the bag could hold before the handles gave way. Deal-

ing with either of those was much preferred to customers who had the dreaded reusable bag.

From the placement of each item, to its exact weight in relation to the rest of the haul, those with reusable bags seemed in-tune with grocery minutia on an unhealthy level.

Now they are the norm in Issaquah. � e city’s bag ban, which was passed in 2012 and is the

� rst of its kind on the Eastside, went into e� ect Monday and means businesses 7,500 square feet and larger can cut

o� the second option customers are so used to hearing at checkout time.

� e choices are now to bring reusable bags, or pay a 5-cent fee for recyclable paper bags. And in a community as connected to the surrounding habitat and invested in the environment as Issaquah, it only makes sense.

Bringing reusable bags to the store is not even a minor inconvenience for shoppers and gives patrons a chance to play an active role in an important shi� in community mindset.

Of course, most larger grocery stores have provided plastic bag recycling bins for years. But the utility of a plas-tic grocery bag is lost when the recycling practice requires remembering and then handling the bags a second time.

Issaquah’s new ban obviously won’t eliminate plastic waste in the city, and will likely be seen as an inconve-nience by many. But given the choice between toting a reusable bag to Safeway and Target or remaining stagnant while Seattle and other cities get on-board with a future that simply must require reducing plastic waste, the choice seems obvious.

It’s time to bag a bad practice

ISSAQUAH DECIDESTO ‘BAG’ GROWTH

A big thanks to the well informed Issaquah city government people quoted in the article on the new Cen-tral Issaquah Plan. I � nd it extremely

ironic that “the city doesn’t want big box stores in the CIP, since the map included in the article points out that the entire area of the CIP is in fact covered by big box stores large enough to be seen from space. Unless the city of Issaquah has a way to go back in time 25 years it seems the big box train has le� the station.

Also kudos to the city council for the unique way of solving the tra� c problem the big box stores have cre-ated. Since the new plastic bag ban is now in e� ect, there will be a number of people who vote with their feet and shop in other cities thereby removing less cars from the city of big boxes.

A plan to transfer skilled nursing beds from Seattle to Issaquah drew questions and concerns Feb. 28 during a state hearing over the proposal.

Horizon House of Seattle, a continuing care retirement community, which closed or “banked” 56 beds eight years ago, wants to use those beds at Issaquah’s Timber Ridge – 36 now and the remaining 20 as the facility expands. If Horizon House does not place the beds back in op-eration by June, they will be permanently forfeited.

“� ere is a real and signi� cant decrease in the number of nursing home beds throughout the coun-ty,” said Bob Anderson, CEO of Horizon House.

In 2008, Timber Ridge was granted state per-mission to operate 36 skilled nursing beds at its Briarwood Health Center to serve both its own resi-dents and people from the community. However, per-mission to take individu-

als from the community has expired.

“Horizon House is now proposing to lease the current Briarwood Health Center space, and to oc-cupy it with our currently banked beds, assuring that the nursing home will continue to admit out-side patients, preserving choice,” Anderson said.

Anderson added that day-to-day operations would remain the same, so residents wouldn’t notice any changes.

Lisa Stubenrauch, the administrator for Issaquah Nursing and Rehabilita-tion, and Chris Bosworth, the administrator at Provi-dence Marianwood have a di� erent view.

Stubenrauch questioned Briarwood’s � nancial viability while Bosworth questioned Briarwood’s sta� ng for Medicaid, which has “unique re-quirements.”

Grant Linacre, the administrator at Timber Ridge, said they already have sta� who are very familiar with Medicaid requirements.

Bosworth asked if it was

the intention of Horizon House to sell the beds eventually. Anderson said at the conclusion of the project they would be transferred to Timber Ridge.

Liz Tidyman, who is a volunteer Washington State Certi� ed long-term care ombudsman, was at the hearing speaking as a citi-zen rather than an ombuds-man, because her parents reside at Timber Ridge.

Tidyman said Bri-arwood residents have limited access to some of the amenities enjoyed by Timber Ridge residents, are excluded from information about events, opportunities and changes in the Timber Ridge community, have no

voice on the Timber Ridge resident council and are excluded from resident update meetings.

Tidyman said she doesn’t believe this is out of malice, rather thought-less disregard for their basic human dignity.

A decision on Hori-zon House’s proposal is expected by April 29. If it is approved, Briarwood would still have to apply for a license from DSHS.

Deadline nears for transfer of nursing home beds


� e Sammamish City Council took the next step in constructing a Community & Aquatic Center Tuesday night, selecting Colorado-based Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture to handle the design phase of the project.

� e council voted 5-1 to approve the consultant, with only John Curley opposed.

“I think they do a very thorough job of determin-ing what makes a good community center and what doesn’t,” Mayor Tom Odell said. “I believe that they are by far ahead of the No. 2.”

BRS was selected in 2011 as the prime consultant for the Community & Aquatic Center Feasibility Study — a proposal that started out as a $70 million project, before being trimmed to the current $30 project.

Council member Nancy Whitten said the original high cost drew concern from her, but also admitted the council should have set better parameters before BRS started its original design.

City manager Ben Yazici said the city will be keeping a close eye on all aspects of the project to prevent cost overrun.

“� ey will be proposing a design and schematics and at every phase of this thing we will be making sure it � ts the budget,” he said.

A written report from Yazici said it takes a minimum of 12 months to design and permit a building of the Community & Aquatic Center’s magnitude. � e city hopes to start construction in the summer of 2014.

BY JULIA BELGRAVESPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

One of the Issaquah History Muse-ums’ largest collection of letters, now available to view online, reads as a snap-shot in time – that of a young Issaquah couple maintaining a romance through World War I.

Jake was 32 when he was dra� ed into the Army; Minnie, only 21, remained home in Issaquah. � ey wrote a letter to each other almost every day, going so far as to number them in case one should get lost in the mail. While Jake’s letters describe what it was like to experience World War I boot camp and going overseas as a soldier, Minnie’s letters are dense with romantic gushing and Issaquah gossip.

Much of Minnie’s and Jake’s long-distance courtship reads like a romance novel – a lot of pining, sweet-nothings, and missed opportunity. � ere was a moment, right before Jake le� Camp Lewis (now Fort Lewis), that stands out as one of the more dramatic experiences during their time apart.

Prior to Jake leaving for boot camp, Minnie tried desperately to convince him to get married. Jake hesitated, not wanting to leave behind a wife who, a� er the war, could end up a widow. He went to boot camp for only a few weeks and throughout his entire stay Minnie pestered him to let her visit (with the intention of getting married).

Minnie wore Jake down and as she

wrote Aug. 14, 1918, “as soon as your letter came I started to get ready to go.” Telling him her plans, she wrote, “I will leave here on the 11 o’clock stage” and “you may not get this letter before I get there but I’ll � nd you if I cover the whole grounds.”

When Minnie arrived at the station, Jake wasn’t there. She headed to Camp Lewis only to discover that Jake’s com-pany had le� less than 24 hours prior – without any warning. And as Jake’s hastily scribbled letter on Aug. 14 says, “where we are going I don’t know.”

Jake was headed to Camp Fremont in California and ultimately Brest, France. Minnie spent a few days in Tacoma, no doubt heartbroken over not being able to marry before Jake went o� to war. When she arrived back in Issaquah she wrote him one of her longest letters – 12 pages typed. � ey never stopped writing letters during their entire separation.

Jake got his discharge from Camp Lewis on Sept. 29, 1919 and sent a telegram to Minnie telling her he’d “be home as soon as possible.” A� er a year and a few months away from each other they would � nally be reunited. Jake and Minnie were married Dec. 29, 1919.

All of Jake and Minnie’s letters, along with over 1,300 other records, are available through the Issaquah History Museum’s Digital Collections accessible from issaquahhistory.org.

Julia Belgrave is a research specialist for the Issaquah History Museums.

Headline


Being a foster child means having to cope with extraordinary disadvantages during some of the most important for-mative years leading to adulthood. Most o� en, children enter the foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster kids o� en don’t get the same emotional or � nancial support that other kids get, or the sense of security that comes from being a part of a biological or adoptive family. � is is why Treehouse exists, to counteract some of the disadvantages that come with being a foster child. Treehouse is QFC’s charity of the month for March.

Most people � nd that getting a good ed-ucation is an essential step towards leading a productive, ful� lling life. People without a good education are o� en at a disadvantage in pursuing a career or a landing a good job. Unfortunately, due to the emotional turmoil many foster children have had to endure, they are not primed and ready to do well in school. Treehouse is dedicated to helping the foster child population here in Washington through Education Advo-cacy and Education Engagement.

Treehouse Education Advocates help students access education support servic-es, stay in the same school whenever possi-

ble or help with the transition to a new school, work through issues that might keep them out of school, and help them make up credits, stay engaged and stay on track to graduate.

Treehouse provides education plan-ning, coaching and support through Education Engagement. � e Tree-house website notes:

� rough weekly monitoring of risk indicators, personalized inter-vention, building problem solving and self-advocacy skills, proactive-ly removing barriers to school suc-cess, and supports to fully engage in school and community, Tree-house paves the way to high school graduation, hope and opportunity.

� e Treehouse mission of helping foster children goes beyond education to include many other aspects of youths’ lives. Here are four other programs that Treehouse supports that help make a di� erence: Little Wishes, Summer Camp, � e Wearhouse and Holiday Magic.

� rough Little Wishes, Treehouse pro-vides access to extracurricular activi-ties like sports, music, dance and clubs,

as well as school activities because kids who are positively engaged in school and community have better academic and life outcomes. � e Summer Camp program provides access to overnight camps, day camps and other summer programs, giv-ing foster kids a chance to get away and make new friends, while providing a break for their caregivers. Because spare funds are o� en short or nonexistent, Treehouse created � e Wearhouse so that foster kids can get free new and like-new clothing, books, toys and other things to help them feel good and � t in. Eligible participants

can use � e Wearhouse up to � ve times a year. � e Holiday Magic program helps kids in foster care have a happy holiday by raising resources from the community to provide each child with a special holiday gi� .

QFC is proud to partner with Treehouse to raise awareness about the important work they are involved in and to help raise funds to support the services they o� er to their young clients. We invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand to Tree-house until March 30th.

The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:

BOdY FOUndA Sammamish woman

walking her dog in the early afternoon of Feb. 26 discov-ered the body of a 56-year-old neighbor in his front yard. The woman, walking in the 1200 block of 211th Av-enue Northeast, noticed the man was not moving from the sidewalk and contacted police. Police called the man’s good friend who said he was last at the victim’s house eight days earlier. He said the victim refused to answer the door, but spoke to him on the phone. The friend estimated that the victim was spending $150 on alcohol per week. The death is under investigation.

LeSSOn LeaRnedAn alleged tailgating inci-

dent on Northwest Newport Way turned into a verbal altercation between all involved Feb. 20 in front of the Issaquah Police Station. All parties were separated

by police and counseled about how to handle anger in a more civil fashion. All involved acknowledged their errors and moved on without further incident.

SiGn WaRIssaquah police re-

sponded to a call Feb. 18 of two transients arguing in the 4000 block of Klahanie Drive Southeast. One man said he was “flying his sign” and was approached by an unknown male who said it was his turn to display his sign. Police were unable to find the instigator.

FaCeBOOk THReaTA 24-year-old Sam-

mamish man contacted police Feb. 24 after receiv-ing a threat from a former childhood neighbor via Facebook. The victim said the person making the threat used to ride the bus with him when they were younger, then moved to North Dakota. The message contained a large portion of nonsensical context with threats stating “kill you” intertwined. The text also talked about mortgage fraud, Russians, fall of the Soviet Union, Canada, churches and illegal aliens.

The caller was concerned, stating the man was caught trespassing at his former residence only a year earlier.

LOCked OUTResidents at an Issaquah

apartment home called police Feb. 15 saying they had locked themselves out on the balcony. Police found the front door unlocked and let the residents back in.

SUSPiCiOUS vanIssaquah police re-

sponded to a call Feb. 19 of a suspicious man in a white van looking at kids in the 400 block of Forest Place. Police were unable to locate any man matching the description.

PinT-SiZed CRiMeTwo juveniles stole a pint

of ice cream and $2 in tips Feb. 19 from an ice cream shop in the Issaquah High-lands. They were spotted

nearby, laughing and eating the goods.

RePeaT OFFendeRPolice were called Feb. 27

after employees at the Sam-mamish Safeway witnessed someone steal more than $450 in alcohol. Store em-ployees said they believed the man had stolen from the store previously and the last time he was in he acci-dentally dropped his drivers license. Police viewed video and agreed the man looked similar. The incident is under investigation.

GaMe THieFA woman called police

Feb. 27 to reporting some-one broke into her home and stole her son’s XBox 360 gaming system, along with two controllers and four games. Thieves didn’t take anything else from the home in the 20700 block of Northeast 8th Street.

Man arrested for threatening to kill Issaquah police officer

Issaquah police arrested a 44-year-old Issaquah man Feb. 27 for threatening to shoot and kill a police officer.

The arrest came after an incident on Feb. 24 when the suspect, Michael Ivin, was stopped by Issaquah police for a minor traffic violation. Ivin became enraged and yelled at the officer, claiming he had a 9-mm handgun with him.

The officer handcuffed Ivin for precautionary reasons, and discovered the loaded handgun in his waistband. Ivin had a concealed weapons license, so his gun was returned before he was released with a warning.

Several minutes later, Ivin was inside the Fred Meyer store on East Lake Sammamish Parkway where he told people he was going to shoot a policeman and then re-portedly said, “tell them I’m going to kill the cops.” He left the store before police could locate him.

Three days later, police located Ivin driving on North-west Gilman Boulevard, where he was arrested.

At the time of his arrest, police located a loaded 9-mm handgun, which is believed to be the same gun he was carrying earlier in the week.

Ivin was booked into the King County Jail, and is cur-rently being held on $200,000 bail for felony harassment.

Sergeant Kevin Nash of the Issaquah Police Depart-ment said the suspect doesn’t have any more weapons and he doesn’t believe he’s a threat to society.

� e focus shi� ed from revenue to expenses as the Kla-hanie Task Force heard the second part of the study being organized by Nesbitt Planning and Management, Inc., on the proposed annexation of Klahanie. Nesbitt is the consul-tant the city has hired to analyze the potential annexation.

� e task force includes Al Erickson, Rowan Hinds, Ber-nadette Anne and Mary Lou Pauly of Issaquah, and Barb Justice, Rob Young, Dick L’Heureux and Brent Marshall of Klahanie. Also included is Don Smith, a retired � re chief from the Eastside Fire District.

� e task force is reviewing and commenting on the Nes-bitt study, and advising the city and its consultants on how to present the study to the public once it is completed. � e committee does not make recommendations to the city or the public.

Nesbitt worked with the existing 2013 city budget to cal-culate expenditures with Klahanie as part of the city. With 900 line items, it was nothing short of a daunting task. Human resources was where Tom Nesbitt focused, using police as an example.

“If there’s twice as much work to do, you need twice as many o� cers,” Nesbitt said.

With a population of 31,150 in Issaquah and 10,843 in Klahanie, he made the assumption that calls for o� cers could go up by one-third. While no additional adminis-trative sta� would be needed at IPD, patrol and dispatch would need more hands on deck.

� e big three costs are police, � re and roads.For � re protection, it’s possible that upon annexation,

residents of Klahanie would actually pay less for � re ser-

vice. � at’s because it is serviced by EFR district 10; with annexation Klahanie would be serviced by Issaquah district 38, which costs less. � e � re equation is yet to be totally � eshed out, and Nesbitt should have a better grasp on it before the next task force meeting April 2.

In 2004, when annexation was proposed before, roads were in much better condition than they are now. � e costs to maintain and restore elements of the roads in Klahanie will also require more study.

Nesbitt said some city departments haven’t reported costs yet. By the April 2 meeting, they plan to have tighter numbers.

� e Klahanie potential annexation area is currently served by the Sammamish Plateau water and sewer district, and that service would not change.

� e task force plans to hold two public meetings in May; one in Klahanie and one in Issaquah. By that time the study will be complete and citizens of both areas will have the opportunity to ask questions. � e hope is to present the question of annexation on this November’s ballot.

Sequestration has impacted the county’s voucher program for housing for low-income people. As of Friday, March 1, the King County Housing Authority has suspended issuance of Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers to families that have applied to the program and are on its general waiting list. Sequestration is the automatic across-the-board budget cut that is hitting federal programs.

Each month, the housing authority typically reissues housing vouchers turned in by families no longer need-ing the subsidy.

“Sequestration will result in some 600 fewer fami-lies in our local communities receiving crucial rental assistance over the next year,” said Stephen Norman, executive director of the King County Housing Author-ity. “Because rents are so high, many of these families may, quite literally, � nd themselves out on the street as a result of these arbitrary budget cuts.”

� e Section 8 program provides vouchers that enable the most vulnerable low-income families, including elderly and disabled individuals, to rent private apart-ments. � e authority provides assistance to about 11,000 households on any given night.

A typical household has an average annual income of $13,327. Many of the families were already homeless, doubled-up or on the verge of becoming homeless when they received their voucher.

Although the housing authority is taking steps to assure that those already receiving vouchers are not in imminent danger of losing their housing, the authority’s ability to serve additional families has been all but eliminated. Funding cuts will impact the Housing Authority’s public housing program as well – delaying repairs to apartments and reducing management services.

“� e longer this goes on, the more families will fall through the safety net,” said Norman. “� e long-term cost to the community will grow.”

About 250 people attended the � rst “Beat the Winter Brews Fest,” Feb. 26 at Gilman Village, sponsored by the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce. � e event was also held to promote Gilman Village which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

Music, an ice sculpture and over a dozen food and drink sta-tions were the highlight of the event.

Chamber CEO Matt Bott said the goal was to showcase a speci� c business area, bring people out to enjoy themselves and support local merchants.

� e Chamber hopes to make this an annual event.

Brewfest chases the blues

Numerous studies have shown each dollar spent at a locally owned, independent businesses creates far greater wealth in a community.

� at’s why the Samma-mish Chamber of Com-merce recently launched the Sammamish Chamber Online Marketplace — to help thousands of home businesses in the commu-nity succeed.

Deb Sogge, Executive Director of Sammamish Chamber said it will have a signi� cant impact on the local economy.

“We know Sammamish has over 3,500 small busi-ness licenses and 47,000-plus local residents,” she said. “If we collaboratively work together and invest 20 dollars/month to sup-port local, we can create 100-plus new jobs.

I believe Sammamish

community is ready for creating a thriving local economy. We are really excited to launch this program.”

� e Sammamish online marketplace is a � rst-of-a-kind initiative, designed to support Sammamish small businesses.

� e website is part of an overall e� ort called “Pledge Local,” which hopes to keep subscribers to its newsletter informed about new businesses and special deals avail-able from Sammamish retailers.

� e pledge will keep those interested in sup-porting the local economy informed of local busi-nesses on a regular basis.

Remax “My office is in Seattle, but my heart is in Sammamish”

Lisa Toomey

As a Realtor, I love real estate transactions that are happy occasions! Sometimes what moves you is the need to accommodate a growing family or a new business opportunity. What fun to see the anticipation of a first time home buyer, or the excitement of a family moving into their dream home. Sometimes it is unexpected or difficult life transitions that move you; perhaps downsizing, losing a spouse or divorce. Each situation is unique and each requires special care to make sure the move is a stress free and smooth as possible. Each situation has its challenges as well as opportunities. Problem solving, sensitivity and confidentiality are skills and

talents a broker must possess to successfully navigate and guide a home owner. These are also the skills and talents that my clients value the most when selecting me as their broker.

against you because he wants you to pet him.”

While the KCSO dogs have a so� side, they have also maintained e� ciency when on the job. Flohr said that’s been a trend for the organization, which has had roughly 50 dogs since starting its program in the ‘70s.

He said the overall bite ratio for the KCSO is 12 percent, and some months its zero. � e capture rate is 48 percent, meaning the dogs locate the suspect ever other time they’re deployed. Recent high-pro� le cases include tracking six violent

escapees from the Echo Glen Children’s Center and the capture of a Monroe Correctional Complex escapee in North Bend.

Flohr attributes his unit’s success to several factors, from training hours all the way down to a high quality vendor in Snohomish.

“We want dogs that are just as good with the public as they are catching bad guys,” he said.

In the meantime, Sammamish residents can feel a little safer knowing there’s an extra set of eyes and ears — human and canine — patrolling the streets at night.

BY JOSH [email protected]

Rachael Mitchell has always been involved in sports.

� e daughter of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jim Zorn, Mitchell was a standout tennis player in high school and continued her playing career at Wheaton College in Minnesota, be-fore beginning a family of her own.

But when the action on the court stopped, Mitchell soon realized the lack of competition le� a void in her life that just jogging in her neighbor-hood could not � ll.

“I felt like I was kind of � oating a little bit,” Mitchell said. “A� er I had my second child, I needed to get back into it.”

While Mitchell knew � nding an athletic outlet would not be easy with a pair of children and a career of her own, she had heard of a new regimen short on time commitment but huge on returns.

It was called CrossFit.“It sounded intense,” she said. “But I

knew the classes were short.”Designed and used by police acad-

emies and military units for train-ing, CrossFit is essentially a � tness regimen devoid of specialization. It involves li� ing, jumping, running, climbing, pulling and various other forms of activity that are meant to increase and develop strength and endurance the human body was designed for.

A� er joining a local CrossFit gym, Mitchell was hooked. � e scheduling worked with her personal life and the community the gym provided was encouraging, eventually leading her into coaching.

Two years later, she is in charge of

member relations at Issaquah’s only public CrossFit gym, Gravity Jane’s.

While the popularity of CrossFit has exploded in recent years, with ESPN televising the sport’s larg-est competition, � e Games, and gyms springing up in virtually every community around Greater Seattle, Mitchell said Gravity Jane’s is focused on developing strength rather than living up to the glori� ed version seen on television.

“We really believe in making people strong before we let them loose,” she said. “People are seeing the sexiness of CrossFit, but they are getting injured because they aren’t strong enough to operate that capacity.”

Mitchell said the approximately 250 members vary in age, with most fall-ing in their mid-30s to early 40s. Most of them come to the gym looking for inspiration and a working plan to regain their � tness.

“We kind of pride ourselves on tak-

ing someone o� the couch and back into an active lifestyle,” she said.

� e gym o� ers clinics on technique, where li� s and exercises are broken down step-by-step for patrons and also has a “power sports” training pro-gram for youth athletes. � at training is sport-speci� c for everything from football to tennis.

“I love that we’re trying to bring that broad base of � tness earlier in life,” she said.

Despite the hoards of career-ath-letes that have found a � tness niche with CrossFit, Mitchell said the sport is designed for accessibility, meaning the out-of-shape grandparent or stay-at-home mom are just as likely to see positive changes as an individual in his or her physical prime.

“CrossFit is for everyone,” Mitchell said. “We are all li� ing groceries, playing with our kids, doing yard work. We all need this functional strength.”

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world of sports

Skyline girls � nish among state’s bestA slow start doomed Skyline in its opening round

game at the 4A girls Hardwood Classic in the Tacoma Dome, as Mead (Spokane) handed the Spartans a 53-31 loss.

� e Panthers opened a 22-3 lead at the end of the � rst quarter and held o� Skyline behind Ashlyn Lewey and 12 more from Jade Redmon.

Rachel Shim led the way for the Spartans with 16 and Haley Smith � nished with six points and nine rebounds in the loss.

KingCo foe Inglemoor, which dropped another quarter� nal to Mount Rainier in the � nal minutes, was Skyline’s day two op-ponent and erased an early de� cit to win the third matchup between the two this season.

� e Spartans took an early 5-0 lead and built an 11-5 advantage at the end of the � rst quarter. But 18 points from Deja Strother and 11 more from Jordana Price helped the Vikes to the 44-34 win.

The loss ends one of the most successful sea-sons in program history for coach Greg Bruns and Skyline, which finish the year with a Crest Division title, conference championship game berth and a fourth Hardwood Classic appearance, the second in Class 4A.

New � eld set to open at Eastlake� e City of Sammamish and the Lake Washington

School District will celebrate the opening of the new multi-purpose sports � eld at Eastlake High School in a ceremony on March 13 that will precede the Wolves’ season-opener against Snohomish in baseball.

� e ceremony begins at 5 p.m. and the varsity base-ball game begins an hour later.

Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo and district superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce will be on hand for the celebration.

� e approximately $1.9 million allocated for the project came in the 2011-2012 parks capital improve-ment fund. � e project upgraded the varsity baseball � eld to a synthetic turf multi-use for baseball, so� ball, soccer, lacrosse and football.

Correction A story in the Feb. 22 edition of � e Reporter

incorrectly identi� ed Eastside Catholic sophomore Matt Iwicki as the school’s � rst ever state champion in wrestling. Eric Wattam took the Class 4A title at 122 pounds in 1986 for the Crusaders.

Artists sought for downtown ArtWalk

The Downtown Issaquah Association is seeking art-ists of all types and styles for the 12th annual Down-town Issaquah ArtWalk season June-September. Emerg-ing artists of all ages, as well as established professionals are welcome to submit works.

Artists will be recognized with a People’s Choice Award and other awards throughout the season.

Every first Friday of the month from June through Sep-tember, ArtWalk transforms the historic downtown busi-nesses into artists’ galleries for the night. Activities include interactive art demonstrations, live music and dance in multiple locations throughout the historic downtown.

From the time ArtWalk started in 2002, the crowd has increased twelve-fold and the number of artists who participate has tripled. Last year, the event drew an estimated 10,000 people.

Artists are paired with a participating downtown venue and set up inside the business using wall space, easels, tables or other display arrangements. Outside spaces are also available. In most cases, the unsold art-work will need to be removed at the end of the evening.

Deadline for submissions is April 1 and there is a $25 fee per event. There is no charge for artists age 18 and under. Artwork will be juried and artists will be notified by May 1 if they have been accepted for the 2013 season.

More information is available at [email protected].

TIME FOR A ‘LITTLE’ DESSERT

Students from the Issaquah School District’s IMPACT program stand next to what organizers claim is the largest ice cream bar ever created in Washington state. The students built the 2 by 8-foot monstrosity during winter break, at Beaver Lake Middle School, using 18 pounds of sugar, 15 pounds of butter, 27 pounds of flour, 9 pounds of chocolate chips, 48 eggs and 20 gallons of vanilla ice cream. There was enough cookie dough to equal 2,400 lunchroom cookies. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

PeopleWho’s making news in Issaquah and Sammamish

State House Rep. Roger Goodman, who represents Sammamish, has been accused of driving under the in� uence of marijuana with his children present by his estranged wife, according to divorce documents � led last October.

Goodman vehemently denied the claims, saying he has been a longtime advocate for safe driving and DUI law reform.

“During a divorce, people tend to make all sorts of allegations and o� entimes these claims are unsupported and untrue,” Good-man said in an email.

In an Oct. 4 declaration, Liv Grohn, Goodman’s wife, said found Goodman “reeking of marijuana” as the family was

preparing to drive to the beach.

Goodman said “these allegations are simply false,” adding that as part of the di-vorce proceedings, he “eagerly” volunteered to a “battery” of tests and assessments, including a compre-hensive substance abuse evaluation and drug screening, to refute the allegations. � e � ndings were “unequivo-cal,” he says, and “there were no problems and issues whatsoever.”
