Margie Vines proudly opened a manila envelope and pulled out a certi� cate sent

Her parents, who moved from the Skagit Valley to Bremerton a� er the bombing of Pearl Harbor, worked non-stop in the shipyard dur-ing the boat building boom. Margie and her sister were o� en le� to fend for themselves.

And in a overpopulated town with not much going on, Vines said it was easy for most kids to get in trouble.

Alcohol use and binge drinking among students in the Issaquah School District — especially high school se-niors — is well above average according to the state’s most recent Healthy Youth Survey.

“Something happens around the 12th grade,” said Dennis Wright, the director of career and services for the district.

Wright presented the results of the survey May 16 at the Action Forum for Youth at Sammamish City Hall. Data included voluntary input from students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 from 233 districts around the state.

� e only ISD students not included in the October survey were seniors at Skyline High School, who were omitted due to a clerical error.

Under the same category, 32 percent of Issaquah seniors and 29 percent of Liberty seniors participated in binge drinking, which is de� ned as consuming � ve or more drinks in one sitting. � e state average was 22 percent.

average,” Wright said.He added that about

25 percent of the girls at Issaquah High reported a binge-drinking bout;

40 percent of the boys reported one.

A panel of students gave their interpretation of the results at last week’s forum.

Issaquah senior Ashley Ho�man, one of several students on a panel, said the numbers could be higher.

“Kids can ignore it up until senior year and then are like, ‘I’m going to col-lege, there’s no point in not drinking anymore.’”

Liberty senior Allison Frazier said partying likely brings a sense of commu-nity between seniors.

“A lot of people come to soccer games, football games under the in�uence. I think the problem is it has become a necessity,” she said.

Issaquah underclassmen

Robin Lustig said it’s not just a senior problem.

“I’m only a junior, but I have still seen some alcohol and drug use within my age group, which is a little upsetting because we are so far from our future,” she said.

Students suggested increased support from school counselors and par-ents as keys to decreasing the problem.

While alcohol use results were high in the district, it came in below other state

averages, including the use of illegal drugs, marijuana and cigarettes. �e dis-trict also came in lower in student reports of bullying, and higher in the feeling of overall safety and in overall enjoyment at school.

“I think in our commu-nity, all our kids are above average and good looking,” said Wright, comparing ISD students to the closing line of the radio variety show, ‘A Prairie Home Companion.’

“In a lot of ways we mirror the things that are

happening in the state,” he continued. “Sometimes we are far better o� — our kids feel safe at school, our kids feel they have a place in their communities, they think their parents and their community like them. �ere are a couple places where our kids aren’t all good looking and above average and that’s in binge drinking and alcohol use.”

HUGE PLANT SALE - 4 DAYS ONLYIssaquah, Washington:

I have  way  too  many plants here and they have to go! They need new homes and they need them right now.

We have a bunch of plants priced at just $4.97, including  Japanese  Red  Maples, Pink Dog-wood Trees, Dwarf Fountain Grass, and 5 or 6 kinds of Hostas.

The Pink Dogwood is my favorite. Big pink spring blooms last for weeks, and it’s the right size for a smaller yard, and it has such a nice shape all year round. But those Japanese Red Maples… Can you believe that? A Japanese Red Maple for $4.97? Okay, they’re small, but they are just so darn pretty with those deep red leaves.

Let’s  see,  what else do  we  have for $4.97? Nugget Ninebark, and Curly Willow trees. Cal-la lilies. And Sedum, about 5 di�erent kinds.

Hungry? Looking for something to eat? We have Rosemary and Sage. They are really good in those dry areas the sprinkler doesn’t reach, but I like them right near my kitchen door, where I can just pop out and get a couple sprigs to dress up whatever’s for dinner.

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll turn their noses up at these. And on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like

they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself? Not as easy as it looks. Ours were transplanted into their pots a year ago, so they’ve grown big roots and we know that they’ll work for you.

We’ve got Stella D’ Oro and Pardon Me Day-lilies, and Coral Bells, $4.97. They look great together. I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of these, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

We’ve  also  got  a  Forsythia with variegated leaves. Yellow �owers, variegated leaves? You don’t see that every day. Only $4.97.

Neon Flash Spirea, Gold Mound Spirea and a couple of other �owering Spireas, Variegated Weigelas, which will be just covered with blos-soms and look like a pink fountain all summer long, $4.97.

Also  at $4.97  we’ve  got  Eastern  Red-bud trees  and  Spring Beauty Viburnums. Where else are you going to get a redbud tree for $4.97?

I  should  have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and some-times we grow way too many. All these trees should be priced more than $20 and I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts!

We’ve got Astilbe. This is a plant that blooms in shade. Sometimes I think I could get Astil-bes to bloom in my front hall closet. They’re

the only plant I know of that blooms in that much shade. And hardy? Tough as nails.

How about Rhododendron? I’ve got three dif-ferent kinds of Rhododendrons. These are just $7.97 for a one gallon plant. We have White, Soft Pink, and Deep Pink.

Come look at our fabulous Shasta Viburnum in the front yard. This beauty is totally covered with big white blossoms. You can have one, too, for $11.97.

I’ve also got some really nice Chinese Tree Li-lacs for $19.97. Come look at these. They are over 2 ft tall, and really full. Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Ore-gon and I can sell them for $19.97, so I will. It’s my nursery and I get to do that.

We have big 5 ft Stewartia trees. Nev-er heard of Stewartia? Google it! Heck, you can even Google it on your phone, right? Check it out and prepare to fall in love. These are really nice, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

I’ve  also  got  some  beautiful Wolf Eye Dog-woods for only $29.97 each. You need to Goo-gle that as well, and then come see the big one in our front yard. It’ll blow your doors o�.

Let’s  see, what else? How  about some really nice Peegee Hydrangeas for $7.97. And Dwarf Cedars of Lebanon, $19.97? These look like those big Alaskan Cedars that have that nice column shape with the weepy top, but only get to about 10 ft tall. They are really nice next

to a building, ‘cause they stay narrow.

Oh,  oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got four kinds of very special Japanese maple. Crimson Queen (beautiful weeping form), Lion’s Head (really bold!), Tamukeyama (deep wine color, weeping form), and Viridis (green – ever seen a green weeping Japanese Maple?) and Coral Bark (red stems in winter – awesome.) These are all $39.97 for big 2 ft plants, except the Coral Bark which is a little smaller and a steal at $19.97.

Wait, there’s more … Black Eyed Susan, Lemon Beauty Box Honeysuckle, Creeping Jenny, Em-erald and Gold Wintercreeper. I know there’s even more but this is making my head hurt.

Sales  starts Friday, May 24th and runs through Memorial Day, Monday May 27th. 10 a.m. til 4 p.m. The Daily Plant-It, 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah Washington 98027.

That’s about a mile south of Issaquah. There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants.

Okay? Good. See you this weekend!

(Phone number? There is no way I can answer the phone at the same time as I talk to people about these plants. Just come on out. I prom-ise it will be worth it.)

STORIES TO TELL

secretary, but Vines was selected to work in nurs-ing.

“Everybody wanted to know when do we have to learn to give shots — that was a scary thing,” she said.

A�er training on orang-es, then giving a partner a poke with a needle, Vines and six other women were sent to their hospital as-signment in Norfolk, Va.

A member of the ear, nose and throat ward, Vines said she faced several di�cult situations, including being placed on one-on-one watch over terminally ill sailors.

Her self-described claim to fame came in 1944, when she was one of the �rst nurses to administer a penicillin shot — not something she was crazy about.

“I just couldn’t imagine hitting someone in the butt with a big needle,” Vines said. “�e �rst day (the head nurse) said we’re going to do this now, so I went up and hid the bathroom for two days in a row.”

Vines, who described herself as a bit naive, said

she eventually built up the courage to give the shots.

And it wasn’t long a�er, she met her true love, Ed-die Meritt, an X-ray tech.

�e two started dating, got married and soon had their �rst of two girls. Due to her pregnancy, Vines decided to make a change.

“I decided that being in the Navy, this isn’t much fun, I’d rather be a mom,” she said.

While her stint in the WAVES lasted only a year, Vines said she is grateful for her chance to serve in the Navy and the role in U.S. history she played. And as Memorial Day roles around this week, she said it’s a time to remem-ber all those who have sacri�ced their lives.

“I think it’s impor-tant for all of us, for our country,” Vines said. “All the people who have lost people, they need that.”

Issaquah Police street crimes de-tective Diego Zanella understands that talking to the cops sometimes makes people feel uncomfort-able. �at’s why he has set up an anonymous tip line for people to call if something seems out of the ordinary in their neighborhood.

Issaquah has had a tip line in the past, but it wasn’t very well ex-plained to the public Zanella said.

“�is is not to replace 9-1-1,” Zanella said.

Nor is it to be confused with the 24-hour non-emergency line.

�e tip-line call will go to a recorded message, but it will not be traced.

Zanella said it’s hard for the police to stop crime if they don’t

know when suspicious activity is taking place. Narcotics, burglar-ies and car prowls are all on IPD’s radar.

He said this is very similar to Homeland Security’s “If you see something, say something” cam-paign.

Student resource o�cer Karin Weihe will be talking to students to assure them they won’t be accused of being a snitch.

All o�cer’s will have the tip line on their business cards, and there will be link on the City of Is-saquah’s web site.

�e number is 425-837-3210.

Monday is Memorial Day. It’s a day we should treasure, but too o� en we treat it as just an-other excuse for a three-day sale.

It’s so much more than that.� ousands of men and women have died protecting

the rights and freedoms that make the United States the envy of the world. Some cemeteries will have special ceremonies to mark the day, but even if they don’t, you can do your part.

Visit a cemetery on your own and place a � ag or � ow-ers on the graves of the fallen heroes.

Seek out veterans to thank them for their service.Participate in a “National Moment of Remembrance”

at noon (Paci� c time) and take a few moments to re� ect on the true meaning of the day.

Here’s another obvious one: � y the American � ag.According to the Flag Manufacturers Association of

America, the US � ag should be � own at half-sta� until noon.  If you can’t display the � ag on a short sta� or for indoor � ags that can’t be lowered, tie a black bow above the full-sta� ed US � ag.

If you can do the half-sta� procedure, you should raise the � ag to the top of the pole briskly, pause for a moment, and then slowly bring it down to where the top of the � ag is at a position approximately halfway be-tween the top and bottom of the pole.  At noon, the � ag should be raised quickly to the top of the � ag pole.  At the end of the day, the � ag should be lowered slowly and ceremoniously for the day.

Memorial Day kicks o� the summer, but it’s also the start of special days that honor the � ag. Next up is Flag Day on June 14 and, of course, Independence Day – the Fourth of July.

But why stop there? Fly the � ag every day of the year and honor our country and the people who have served it.

HELP NEEDED IN US, TOOA� er reading the May 17 article

(Issaquah doctor helps women in Bangladesh) and like so many of the feel-good stories I have read in the past about local residents taking up the cause to help with services and donations to far � ung countries, I thought I would issue this challenge.

I have lived in some somewhat af-� uent communities in Southern Cali-fornia and now Sammamish where all the kids and their folks want to help these poor disadvantaged individuals in these countries like. But, we have many in need here.

Not all Native American reserva-tions are in the casino business. Some have no running water, electricity –

never mind medical for that matter. How about those poor folks in Ap-palachia?

Maybe it’s that many young people don’t know real Native Americans in this country exist like this? Or that helping poor dumb white people just isn’t cool?

� ere are also people in Puerto Rico, where there is an almost 26 percent unemployment rate, who are in need. � ere are also poor native people in Hawaii, but nobody either knows or cares.

I have visited many places right here in the USA and have tried to help, but I can’t do it alone. Maybe some of you well meaning folks can lend a hand?

WATER ISSUE ALARMINGIt’s alarming when you receive a letter

in the mail from your water company

that the drinking water is unsafe due to high e. coli contamination. It really hits the panic button when you’ve got small children and infants.

� is happened to our family in another state several years ago and I honestly thought that we had le� that nightmare behind us when we moved to Sammamish. Apparently I was wrong.

My knowledge is pretty much based on an Economics 101 course I took in college, but the principles have held up over the decades. It sounds like Issaquah – by not paying for treat-ment of storm water pumped into our aquifer – may be “externalizing” its costs. Simply put, Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District customers get the honor of paying Issaquah’s costs in order to maintain our clean, safe water supply.

In one photo, a circle of teens, each no more than 16 years old, pose in front of their personal jet. In

another, the backseat of a Ferrari is stacked high with shopping bags. A girl shows o� her massive diamond ring.

Rich Kids of Instagram is an embar-rassing look at the American upper

class and a total misrepresentation of young people. And yet it’s some-how become the symbol of a suppos-edly self-obsessed generation of Mil-lennials.

With the on-slaught of new so-cial media platforms

– Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – it’s really no surprise my generation has been targeted for its narcissistic ways. But how much truth is there behind this statement?

Last week Time magazine ran a feature blasting 20 somethings for their sel� sh, entitled, shallow behav-ior. Author Joel Stein even accompa-nied the piece with a short video of his foray into “Generation Me” in which he “sexts” his wife, incessantly checks his phone and searches his closet for band T-shirts. It’s the silly hook for a tired claim: Our generation is better than yours.

Stein cites sociological data, like the growing incidence of narcissism in 20

somethings, the number of youth still living under their parent’s roof and the fact that young people are stalling careers for minimum wage gigs. (I’ve even seen studies comparing pop lyrics from today and 10 years ago, for the number of times “Me” and “I” appears).

Most of this data can be refuted with other data and the simple expla-nation that we’re still recovering from a devastating recession. But Stein’s article and the many other studies that have tried to characterize Millenni-als are disconcerting for two reasons: they’re massive generalizations and they miss the point.

Science tells us that from your teens through your early 20s, we’re still developing our prefrontal cortex, which could partly explain that surly, navel-gazing. In other words, no mat-ter the decade, youth marks a period of extreme self-absorption. Are we really that much more egotistical for our Instagram accounts and Facebook statuses, or do we just happen to be growing up in a more public space with our missteps and � rst wobbly

steps into adulthood posted across six di� erent social media platforms.

We’ve been pegged for our apathy, but Millennials have spotlighted and galvanized major movements: Occupy Wall Street, the environmental, LGBT rights and immigration reform. While those issues have been bolstered by supporters in all age brackets, young people in particular have shown an ability to think not only outside ourselves, but also globally and many generations out.

It’s human nature to categorize, label and de� ne, but the “Me Genera-tion” is so much more than its Twitter feeds and personal blogs.

Generation Millennial is the � rst to grow up with the World Wide Web, such incredible interconnectivity and the prevalence of travel. Cut us some slack, Baby Boomers. We’re a genera-tion suddenly aware of how big the world is, and trying to come into our own.

Larry Wright has � led to run against Kathleen Huckabay for Sammamish City

Council Position No. 1. “Sammamish is a

great place to live,” Wright said. “I want to help make it even better through � scally sound policies that promote moderate growth while retaining the city’s unique charm and character.”

Wright is the managing director of the Bellevue Arts Museum. Prior to joining the museum, he served as CEO of the National Mentoring Partnership in Washington, D.C., and as executive director of the Washington state a� liate, Washington State Mentors. Wright received his Ph.D. in communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his MA and BA

from Washington State University.He sits on the boards of the College Suc-

cess Foundation, Washington State Men-tors, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound and is also a Commissioner on the State Charter School Commission.

Wright said he values green space, ef-� cient public services, more retail space, wisely spent money, public spaces enriched with art and tra� c improvements.

Wright’s parents have lived in Sam-mamish since 1987, and he and his wife have lived in the city since 2009. � ey have two young children who both attend Mar-garet Mead Elementary.

Sammamish Council Position No. 1 is the only contested spot of four openings. Tom Odell, Don Gerend and Bob Keller will run unopposed. Christine Malchow withdrew her name from running for Posi-tion No. 5, held by Gerend.

Lisa Callan, who was a � nalist along with Alison Meryweather to � ll Issaquah School Board Director Position 4, has announced

she will seek the posi-tion in the fall election.

� e seat was vacated earlier this year when Chad Magendanz resigned when he was elected to the state House of Representa-tives. Meryweather was chosen from � ve candidates to � ll the

position.Callan helped build a cultural diversity

council at Grand Ridge Elementary and is a PTSA board member. She earned a BS in mathematics and science from Northern Arizona University, later worked for Boeing for 14 years and as a so� ware development project management consultant. Since her son was born, she has been a community and school volunteer.

“As the mom of a student at Grand Ridge Elementary School, I have the best of all reasons to lead educational programs and opportunities in our Issaquah public schools,” she said.

Callan grew up in a family of educators and leaders. Callan said she knows how to make smart decisions, be � scally respon-sible and consider the needs of all kids.

“Schools are where our children discover who they are, who they want to become, and that learning is a lifelong journey,” she said.

No other school board seats are con-tested.

Maraldo to seek re-electionIssaquah School Board member, Marnie

Maraldo, plans to run for re-election for the District 2 position in November. She is running unopposed.

Maraldo is serving her � rst term on the school board, and looks forward to con-tinuing the work of managing the district through a challenging � scal period.

“In the past 4 years, the district has faced $16 million in funding cuts from the state, and yet still provide the excellent education our community has come to expect,” she said.

In her role as the board’s legislative representatives, Maraldo has met with leg-islators to advocate for full funding of basic education and testi� ed before both the House and Senate education committees.

The BlotterPolice reports from

Issaquah and Sammamish

BY KEVIN [email protected]

�e following information was compiled from city of Sammamish police reports:

RECKLESS ENDANGERMENTA Sammamish woman was arrested May

16 a�er suspicion of driving under the in�uence. Her 4-year-old son was with her.

�e 42-year-old woman was �rst spotted around 6:45 p.m., by an o�-duty reserve o�cer who was jogging by Northeast Eighth Place and 233rd Avenue Northeast. He spotted the woman stuck on top of the center median and went to assist her. When other o�cers arrived they asked the woman what went wrong. She said she had just taken her son to McDonald’s because he “went a week without peeing his pants.” She said on the way home, he threw a tantrum causing her to lose control of the vehicle. When o�cers were talking to her, they no-ticed prescription pill bottles and a bottle of vodka in the woman’s open purse. She ad-mitted to drinking mimosas earlier around 11 a.m. with her friends. �e prescription for Oxycodone was �lled earlier in the day for 180, 5 milligram pills. �e bottle only contained 161 pills.

WALL PUNCHA Sammamish couple called police May

13 a�er their 15-year-old son became angry and punched a hole in the wall. �e boy admitted to being angry because of a disciplinary issue around the use of his cell phone. �e parents said they have patched the wall around 10 times before and the boy even took a baseball bat to their car windshield once. None of those incidents were reported to police. �ey believed it was time to document the incident and have police warn of the boy of the repercus-sions of his behavior.

DOUBLE TROUBLEA 17-year-old Eastlake High School

student was caught May 13 trying to steal two bottles of cough syrup from Safeway. �e boy, whose twin brother was also at the store and made a legitimate purchase, said he “likes how it makes him feel when he takes it if he’s not ill.” �e boy isn’t allowed back at the store for a year.

FAR FROM HOMESammamish police discovered a 29-year-

old Everett woman sleeping outside a store in the Pine Lake Shopping Center parking lot around 3 a.m. on May 16. �e woman, who said she was homeless and waiting for a friend to pick her up, starting laughing every time the o�cer asked her a question. She went back and forth between crying and laughing. O�cers noticed she had a jar of olives and a pack of cupcakes near her. She was unable to display a receipt. When o�cers contacted a nearby grocery store they found video of the woman stealing the items. �e woman received a two-year ban from the store and was returned to the Bel-levue transit center where she could catch a bus back to Everett.

TRAMPOLINE BOMBA Sammamish couple contacted police

May 15 a�er their son created a disturbance a�er crawling on the roof of their home and entered through a window. When police arrived the 18-year-old threatened that he was going to “kill everybody” with a bomb. �e suspect, who admitted to smok-ing “tons” of marijuana the last two days, said he was going to make a bomb out of the trampoline in his parent’s back yard. He also said he was 500 years old and a “god from another world.” �e suspect was taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation. �e parents said they did not want to press charges against their son.

MYSTERIOUS CALLSA 40-year-old Sammamish woman called

police April 30 a�er receiving one to two calls a day for a week where the caller just hang up and said nothing. �e woman con-tacted her cell phone provider and changed her number. �e calls have since stopped.

STOLEN COMPUTERAn Eastlake High School student con-

tacted police April 26 a�er he was unable to locate his school-assigned computer. �e boy le� it behind during his third-period gym class and when he went back to get it, it was no longer there. No one returned the item to the lost and found. �e notebook and battery were valued at more than $400.

DOMESTIC ISSUESammamish police responded to an

incident of verbal domestic violence May 5 a�er a 45-year-old man pulled a shelf from a wall and threw it in the direction of his girlfriend. �e man was standing in the entry way to the couple’s shared home and the woman was at the top of the stairs. �e couple, who had just ended a six-year relationship, were trying to determine how to separate mutual property. �e woman said she didn’t believe the man was trying to throw the shelf at her.

As an independent ap-praiser works to set a value on logger Kurt Erickson’s 216-acres on Squak Moun-tain, Erickson has applied for another permit to har-vest timber on his land.

“I �led for the upper por-tion in case we don’t come to an agreement,” Erickson said.

�e latest �ling is for 96 acres of old forest near the top of his property. King County executive Dow Constantine and the Trust for Public Land signed a conditional agreement to purchase the property from Erickson to preserve it for public use. �e purchase price will be based on an appraisal, which should be completed by June 21.

Erickson said he would still like to work out a deal with the county, but said he knows what land values are and that things are chang-ing with the real estate market improving.

“I have to protect my investment,” he said.

�e new permit appli-cation is for 96 acres. He �led it on behalf of a LLC he formed, which enabled him to �le as a small forest landowner, one who owns less than 500 acres. He does have land in other areas.

By �ling under the new LLC, he can log otherwise protected old forest.

�e Issaquah Alps Trails Club said in a press release that if this forest practices application is approved, it sets a precedent that would have statewide signi�cance for the logging industry and environmental protection

“Forest owners could simply divide their land up into multiple corpora-tions and claim status as small forest landowners to avoid environmental regu-lation. State law allows small forest landowners to log otherwise protected wildlife habitat, and also requires smaller buf-fers around �sh-bearing

streams,” the group said.Matthew Randazzo,

special assistant to the commissioner of public lands said they would thor-oughly review the applica-tion including the small landowner �ling status to ensure that the application complies with state forest practices laws and rules.

�e result of the new ap-plication should be known in early June.

�e trails club is launching a fundraising e�ort to en-courage support for the King County Park Levy which will appear on the Aug. 6 pri-mary ballot. In order for the county to buy the land from Erickson, it will need $1.5 million from the parks levy.

Of concern is that the upper portion of the property might be habitat for the marbled murrelet, an endangered species. �e robin-sized seabirds for-age in the ocean, but they nest in mature old-growth forests, which is found high on Squak Mountain.

Randazzo said it would take a complex survey to determine if such habitats are on Squak Mountain.

Erickson said he hopes this all works out to every-one’s satisfaction.

Bainbridge Island police o� cers arrested a Renton man for a multi-county spree of liquor the� s that may solve cases in Issaquah and Newcastle.

Michael Alofa Siva, 25, was ar-rested at the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal a� er he allegedly stole bottles of liquor from the Safeway on High School Road. Employees at the grocery store and security cameras at Safeway observed Siva stealing the liquor on the a� ernoon of Sunday, May 19.

He was arrested and booked into the Kitsap County Jail on $10,000 bail for a felony charge of second-degree organized retail the� .

Bainbridge police said Siva tar-geted certain stores.

“He said he didn’t go to the ‘ghetto stores,’ as he called them,” said Bain-bridge Detective Scott Weiss, the o� cer who interviewed Siva a� er his arrest. “He goes to Safeways in rural areas because the security isn’t as high.”

Weiss said that Siva confessed to

the the� s a� er his arrest.Siva also allegedly hit the Safe-

ways because they commonly stock brands he preferred to steal, such as Ciroc vodka, Grey Goose vodka and Remy Martin cognac.

Siva would either sell the liquor or trade it to support his drug addic-tion, Weiss said.

“� e reason he does this is be-cause of an addiction to oxycontin,” Weiss said. “He said he uses about 10 to 15 pills a day.”

Oxycontin is a prescription opiate.Weiss said that Siva struck all his

Safeway targets more than once. He allegedly stole from the Woodinville and Newcastle Safeways as many as four times.

Bainbridge’s Safeway also cap-tured Siva on security cameras stealing liquor on Wednesday, May 8. � e incident is part of his current the� charge.

Siva allegedly stole approximately $126 worth of liquor on May 8, and $320 in spirits on May 19.

Police said the liquor the� s from across the region amount to more than $4,200 worth of liquor that was taken from multiple Safeways.

“� e Safeway loss prevention

people were very excited because he was on their own most wanted list,” Weiss said.

Weiss noted that Siva was previ-ously arrested this year a� er stealing liquor from a Seattle Safeway.

� e incident led to Siva signing a no-trespass order prohibiting him from entering any Safeway for a year.

Because Siva repeated his the� s at multiple Safeways, a charge of burglary could be added to his case, Weiss said.

Camera footage also allegedly shows Siva working with up to two other suspects at various stores.

One person who appears on footage in Woodinville also appears on footage during a Safeway liquor the� that took place on Wednesday, April 17 on Bainbridge. Approxi-mately $125 worth of liquor was stolen in that incident.

Siva admitted to police that another person was involved in the crimes, but refused to name the per-son, according to a police report.

Richard D. Oxley is a sta� writer with the Bainbridge Island Review. He

can be contacted at 206-842-6613.

Police arrest man believed involved in local grocery store liquor the� s Six area students have received scholarships from

Cobalt Mortgage Scholars for Dollars program. Indi-vidual donors and business partners contributed nearly $45,000, which was matched dollar-for-dollar by Cobalt Mortgage. � e remainder of the funds came from em-ployee donations and company contributions.

Ninth-graders from three Issaquah School District high schools will bene� t from a new environmental stewardship education program that culminates in a � eld trip and hands-on stewardship event.

An estimated 180 students in the biodiversity and lab concepts course will participate in the environmental steward-ship learning opportunity program each year, with curriculum developed by the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust.

Funding for the program will be made possible by an Issaquah Schools Founda-tion grant created by Port Blakely Com-panies and local businesses. Port Blakely contributed $20,000 and is challenging other companies doing business in Is-saquah Highlands to contribute.

Port Blakely Companies is the master developer of Issaquah Highlands. � e company created the grant in celebration of its 20 years of development activity in Issaquah Highlands.

“We are always on the lookout for new and innovative partnerships that bring addi-tional resources to our students,” said Robin Callahan, executive director of the ISF.

Mountain to Sound Greenway Trust executive director Cynthia Welti said the partnership enables students to learn about the natural world near their schools.

“We applaud Port Blakely, the business community, and the Issaquah Schools Foundation for helping to create future caretakers of nearby forests and streams,” Welti said.

When Mark Gri�n moved to Sammamish from the East coast years ago, he quickly found the hills and trails around the area were slightly more challenging than what he had encountered before. �e realization led him to upgrade his wheels, which led to even more riding and eventually, commut-ing 15.5 miles one-way to work in downtown Bellevue up to three times per week.

Gri�n was far from alone on National Bike to Work Day on May 17, when he was one of several dozen riders who stopped by a refreshment and information sta-tion in Issaquah and had the chance to talk with the city’s department of sustainability about its expanding network of commuting alternatives.

“�is is cool they can ask bikers who actually use the lanes and are out here what our feelings are,” he said. “I think that is the best way to feed information.”

Mary Joe de Beck, a senior program man-ager in the sustainability department, said the city has been working on a series of outreach projects and information gathering opportunities to feed sug-gestions for improvement, with Bike to Work Day bringing out some of those

most heavily impacted. �e o�cial count was

66 around 8:30 a.m., lower than last year’s total and certainly a�ected by the rainy morning. But de Beck and resource conservation coordinator Micah Bonkowski said the weather did little to impact the enthusiasm for those who did come by to chat about the future of alternate commuting op-tions in Issaquah.

“I ride myself, so it is encouraging to see people out, especially on a day like this,” Bonkowski said. “I enjoy seeing the riders of all di�erent levels - peo-ple who are just starting to ride their bike to work and those who ride every day, year-round.”

Gri�n said he some-times uses public transit for part of his return ride to Sammamish, and has been impressed with the city’s receptiveness to public suggestions and

willingness to maintain ac-cessible means of alternate transportation. �e days he rides his bike, he added, have a decided advantage over the mornings he spends in rush-hour tra�c.

“You get a little smog when you go past I-90,” he said. “All the tra�c is stopped and you’re mov-ing, that feels pretty good.”

De Beck said one of the common refrains of the morning dealt with the section of the Lake Sam-mamish trail that is sched-uled to reopen around June a�er a roughly year-long closure for paving and other improvements. While some are thrilled about the opening and the changes to the surface from gravel, others are hesitant to the shi� and in favor of the speed-bu�er the aggregate surface provided.

“A big message from all the excitement is one size doesn’t �t all,” she said,

adding each section of trail has an interest based on the people who use it and whether one is out for a re-laxing walk or high-impact exercise.

For Gri�n, the city’s dedication to facilitating alternate commutes -

which also includes work-ing alongside ride-share programs - is a major bonus to living in the area. �e outdoor exercise keeps him in shape and perhaps more importantly, out of a gym routine he found tiresome and unable to produce

results. “As you get older, biking

isn’t as hard on the knees as running,” he said. “I like being outdoors and getting to see things around me instead of being at the gym, looking at the fat guy in the mirror.”

Pedaling toward safer roads

Le�, Mark Gri�n and Mary Joe de Beck look over a map of Issaquah and discuss bike routes. Right, other riders, discuss the possibilities of various routes. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
