November 21, 2012 edition of the Issaquah/Sammamish ReporterTRANSCRIPT
BY KEVIN ENDEJANISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Toni Nielson recalls the helpless feeling like it was yesterday. Recovering from her second
layo� in � ve years, the single mother of three boys was faced with the reality of no holiday surprises for her children, then aged 11, 9 and 7.
“� ere � at out wasn’t going to be Christ-mas,” said Nielson, who turned to deliver-ing pizzas a� er being laid o� from full-time positions at a moving business and investment company. “I didn’t even have enough money for stocking stu� ers.”
Admittedly depressed, Nielson was rejuve-nated by a huge surprise — one that saved her from having to tell her boys Santa couldn’t make it that year.
A� er a receiving a recommendation, Nielson got word that she and her family were adopted by Happy Valley Grange in Redmond. � e organization donated toys for the children, clothes, food and feed for the animals on Nielson’s rural farm south of
Tiger Mountain. “It was huge, these people went all out, they
were awesome,” Nielson said.Now, with her life in a much better position,
the owner of Issaquah’s Extreme Pizza is ready to give back in a similar fashion.
� is holiday season, Extreme Pizza will donate 20 percent of its net sales on two dates — Nov. 14 and Dec. 12 — giving that money to Eastside Fire & Rescue for its annual Adopt A Family for the Holidays program. � ere will also be a donation box in the store the next two months.
“� is year, because I have this, it’s a means and a tool to be able to give back,” said Niel-
son, who is now in her 18th month of owning the business.
Fire� ghters and sta� of EF&R annually do-nate to local service clubs who assist about 20 families in the area with � anksgiving dinner and adopt � ve families for Christmas.
“I know suicide rates are a lot higher, mon-ey’s tight, the economy sucks, so if I can help in any way, I will,” Nielson said. “And, partner-ing with the � re department, what’s better?”
Nielson admits there can still be � nancial chal-lenges at times, but a� er receiving a great deal on purchase of the restaurant and seeing success since opening, she owes something back.
“With this gi� comes a lot of responsibility,” she said.
Nielson said her three boys, now 21, 19 and 17, have also learned a lot from the tough times and value giving back to the community.
One thing they will all never forget is the one year, they almost didn’t have a Christmas.
“It kind of restored my faith,” Nielson said. “Some people say there’s no Santa Claus — well yeah, there is.”

Hiram Burke, the owner of Clark’s Towing in Issaquah is concerned about threats to the local towing industry. With a 50-year history in Issaquah, between his company, along with Ruby’s Towing, which has been in Issaquah for just as long, they have 14 vehicles to serve Issaquah.
Daniel Weihe, the new owner of Ruby’s Towing, who bought the company from the Ruby family has eight tow trucks and two service vehicles.
Clark’s has four tow trucks. When an accident occurs, or
some other reason for a vehicle to be towed and/or impound-ed, these two local companies, along with Ibsen Towing in Issaquah, and Superior Towing with locations in Redmond and Bellevue, are on a rotation with the Issaquah Police as to who gets called out to remove the vehicles.
“But it’s a little bit upsetting, it’s frustrating when a wreck is right in front of you, and you wait 40 minutes for someone from Bellevue or Redmond,” Weihe said.
Both men said their trucks have a 20-minute window, which IPD requests, to get to the scene. But if either of them aren’t next on the rotation, they have to sit on the sidelines while a non-local company o� en struggles through tra� c to get to the scene.
Burke said both his business and Ruby’s are registered tow truck operators, regulated by Washington state law, enforced and inspected by the Wash-ington State Patrol. � ere are other tow truck operators who

are not registered, therefore cannot be on IPD’s rotation.
Deputy Issaquah Police chief Steve Cozart said there are many regulations for tow truck drivers to earn certification. Since a tow they call for is gener-ated as a public service, there are restrictions.
State law says if they can respond in 30 minutes it’s acceptable, but Cozart said they ask for 20 minutes and usually get it.
With an average of one call a day, except in the worst of winter, Burke would like to see the city council reduce the rotation to the local companies, except when the need is greater in winter. He doesn’t understand why the city wants to lose money by giving the business to tow operators from other communities. Burke said he does have contracts with the county and state, but not other cities.
“I’m looking to council to protect the sustainability of business in Issaquah,” Burke said, adding that another company is trying to get on the rotation.
Burke, who is also the district chair of the Towing and Recovery Association of Washington, said he and Weihe have a strong rela-tionship. Weihe has a long history of business, where Burke has a long history of the towing industry.
“It’s nice to have this great relationship,” Burke said.
Weihe said another concern is that if a wreck occurs and one of the other companies on the rotation pick up a damaged yet repairable vehicle, the chances are it would go to an auto body shop in Red-mond or Bellevue, again robbing a local body shop of the work and once again,
Issaquah loses money.“We hope our response
time and service speaks for itself,” Weihe said.
Burke figures 60 percent of the towing work is being contracted to other cities.
“This is a business matter, not a personal attack on anyone’s business,” Burke said.
Cozart said the city and police are not making a conscious decision to step on the local tow compa-nies, but they cannot show favoritism.
“It’s my understanding that we have to put some-one (certified) on the rota-tion if they request to be on the list,” Cozart said.
City Council member Joshua Schaer, said city administrator Bob Harri-son, the council and police will be looking into the issue. Schaer said he wasn’t familiar with the issue until Burke brought it up at a recent city council meeting.
The towing industry has had its challenges. In 2011, when a Capitol Hill resi-dent was charged $800 by Citywide Towing in Seattle, for towing his vehicle from private property and trans-porting it to an impound lot, it sent the Seattle City Council into action, which approved caps on towing rates in the city beginning in January.
The cap will be $183 per hour for the first hour of an impound tow off of private property. Burke said this is also a very active situation.
On the Towing and Recovery Association of Washington (TRAW) website, president Daniel Johnson Sr., stated “Private impounds and rates are be-ing debated in both houses and we are navigating the process to make sure we can help make laws that work for everyone.”

With the economy still in flux and non-profits of every variety hoping to meet an ever-growing need this holiday season, there is uncertainty for many that rely on donations and charitable giving.
Last weekend at Eastridge Church in Sammamish, they were able to fill a major void.
For the 10th consecutive year, Eastridge donated 1,000
turkeys and bags of groceries and also offered free haircuts and a coat drive for youngsters. When the event began at 9 a.m., a line already stretched around the corner of the church’s sprawling campus.
Lisette Murrell, the director of the church’s Eastridge Cares program, said the turnout was encouraging and a testament to the many reasons the program has continued for the past decade.
“It’s very rewarding, just to be able to help out people in need,” she said. “Within 45 minutes to an hour, all those turkeys will be gone.”
Along with turkeys, dozens of volunteers handed out bags of Thanksgiving groceries included stuffing mix, potatoes and other essentials.
Perhaps more importantly, they were there to offer a warm smile and well wishes to those who came through the line, many with young children.
“I’m very excited, we had a great turnout,” Murrell said. “It’s just a way we can bless them.”

It’s Black Friday today, the day shoppers help put merchants in the � nancial “black” for the year. To help do this, national chains have dangled deals
before the buying public to entice them into their stores.
� ree days later comes Cyber Monday, when we’re all suppose to go online and buy, buy, buy.
But there’s another day that’s even more important: Small Business Saturday. It happens tomorrow, Nov. 24, across the nation.
� e event reminds people to shop locally at shops and stores based and operated here in our own com-munities. � e owners of these shops do more than just sell products or o� er services. � ey are our neighbors who support our schools and other institutions, partic-ipate in local activities and government and, all-in-all, make this a better community in which to live.
Some numbers show how important they are.• When you spend $100 at an independent business,
$68 returns to the local community. Spend that same amount at a national chain and it drops to $43.
• Small business accounts for 75 percent of all new jobs.
• Locally owned businesses reinvest in the local economy at a 60 percent higher rate than chains and internet retailers.
• Small businesses create more than half the non-farm private gross domestic product (GDP).
• Locally owned and operated businesses create higher-paying jobs for you and your neighbors.
• More of your tax dollars are reinvested in your community to fund local schools, hire more police o� cers and improve roads.
Last year, more than one hundred million people nationwide came together to shop on Small Business Saturday. Let’s join them tomorrow – and other days throughout the year – to keep our local businesses and our community strong.

Christmas comingearlierevery year A symptom of one of this nation’s
most pressing issues reared its ugly head in my hometown last
week, days before schedule and without warning or reason.
Holiday decorations, which amount to a few wreaths around light posts and
a few strings of light near the 100-foot high Cedar tree in the center of town unceremoniously sprung up, signaling the beginning to the December holiday season.
In years past, neighbors gathered around to watch the
lights come alive to signify the turn from � anksgiving.
� is year I assume many, like myself, got our � rst glimpse on the � ursday morning commute through town.
Decorations are just one example of the December holidays encroaching into November, which seems to see its marquee holiday celebrated more for the sales to come the following day than the gesture it is named for: giving thanks.
Black Friday has turned into “Black � ursday” and even “Black � anks-giving Week” as sales have moved the once-sacred retail holiday into a week-
long price cutting bonanza. Christmas music, which traditionally began play-ing only a� er � anksgiving dessert had been consumed, has become appropri-ate as soon as Halloween candy starts to get stale.
It isn’t the break from tradition that is the most bothersome, it’s the mindset behind it.
� anksgiving is not just a day full of food comas and a bad Detroit Lions football game.
It is a day of re� ection. Whether or not your family goes
around the table to o� er up something each is thankful for, the thoughts of those who sacri� ce for our own well-being are never far o� on Turkey Day.
On Black Friday, in a whirlwind of discounts and doorbusters, that all changes, and with good reason.
While we shop for gift s to give others, the reality of the American con-sumer Christmas experience for many
is give-to-receive. Most of us only give gi� s to those
we know will return the gesture and homemade gi� s or baked goods seem increasingly rare. It was just a genera-tion ago that citrus fruit was a sought-a� er stocking stu� er, but that no doubt seems further in the past as we receive yet another pen that doubles as a � ash-light and moonlights as a tire pressure gauge.
Without a doubt, the litany of fundraisers for coats, toys, food and gi� s make the December portion of the holiday season one of the most expan-sive for charity giving and that part of the holiday season is welcome to extend year-round as far as I’m concerned.
But Consumer Christmas can wait, at least until 12:00 a.m. on Black Friday.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK
EDITOR’S NOTEA story on page 15 of today’s Reporter tells of Gov. Chris Gregoire proclaiming last week
as Drowsy Driving Prevention Week and the e� orts of an Issaquah couple - William Shaw and Mary Beth Haggerty-Shaw - to help bring that about.
� e Shaws know the consequences of drowsy driving all to well – their daughter, Mora, was nearly killed and still su� ers injuries from when she was a passenger in a car that went o� the road because of a drowsy driving event.
William Shaw is the publisher of the
Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter, but that’s not why I’m writing this. I came frighteningly close to being a similar victim years ago when I was in college.
I, and two college friends, were driv-ing from Seattle to Santa Barbara, Calif.,
in June to spend some time at the beach, stopping to sleep at our fraternity chap-ters along the way. Unfortunately, we did’t get any sleep at the Berkeley, Calif., chapter and instead decided to get a head-start on tra� c by heading south in the middle of the night.
We were smart enough to take turns driving, but even doing that, disaster was an eye-blink away.
I was in the front passenger seat, sleeping, when my eyes popped open only to see the car headed o� the Paci� c Coast Highway to a long drop to the beach below. I thrust my le� hand onto the steering wheel, pulled the car back onto the road and the driver, now awake, brought us to a stop.
I drove the rest of the way and we arrived safely, but that image of the car and the cli� has never le� me.
� e problem with drowsy driving is it’s hard to see it coming. � ere’s the
yawning and sudden awareness of having driven several miles without re-membering the drive. You think I would know better, but I’ve done that, too.
I was smarter sometimes than others. On late night drives from Eugene to Portland a� er a weekend visit with my � nance, I would fortify myself with a large Coke from McDonalds. Even so, that two-hour drive could be a grind.
� e governor’s proclamation story includes a number of good tips to pre-vent drowsy driving. Most of them are common sense. � e problem is that narrow divide between being alert and asleep doesn’t always leave time to grasp the looming problem.
Take a few moments now to check out the suggestions and, better yet, com-mit yourself to making them a part of any long drive you will undertake. � e extra travel time is minor compared to a lifetime of living with consequences of drowsy driving.

Heading to Olympia as a new guy doesn’t seem to phase Chad Magendanz, recently elected to the Washington State House of Representatives in District 5. He said he has a leg up since his face is well known in the capital from his service on the Wash-ington State School Director’s Association’s legislative commit-tee, the Federal Relations Net-work with the National School Board Association and many other appointments.
� e former president of the Issaquah School board, Magen-danz is all about education. His � rst priority is to follow through on the McCleary lawsuit from earlier this year in which the state Supreme Court ruled that the state is not meeting its constitutional duty to provide a basic public education to all children in Washington.
“� e case law is very clear,” Magendanz said. “If we’re going to drive economic recovery, we need to invest in education.”
Magendanz said this week meetings were held to discuss committee assignments. He hopes to join the education and
education appropriations com-mittees as well as the technolo-gy, energy and communications committee.
As far as charter schools, he said he was on the fence for a while because of “creaming,” (the practice of schools tak-ing only those students that have parents who are involved enough to apply), until he visited several charter schools in California and was impressed with how well they were work-ing. He said charter schools have more � exibility because they are not subjected to collective bargaining.
“We need to be very sensitive to be sure every parent knows this opportunity is available to their child,” he said.
Acknowledging that not all kids learn the same way, he said the goal is to help a student � nd something he or she might have an interest in, and latch on to that interest.
Professionally, Magendanz is a so� ware developer. He started 10 years ago with Microso� , � rst testing, then to program management and design. He expertise is in rapid prototyping. Magendanz plans to continue contract work for Microso� and
other companies as well.Magendanz is replacing Glenn
Anderson, who he said recruited him, for position 2. Anderson
ran unsuccessfully for Lt. Gover-nor. Magendanz said he received amazing support from Anderson and Jay Rodne, the other repre-sentative from District 5.
“I’ve had a lot of good support on the state, local and county level,” he said.
Magendanz said it comes down to priorities. When asked about the McCleary lawsuit, he said it seemed obvious to him, adding that the Issaquah School District was one of many plainti� s.
He acknowledges it won’t be easy to come up with a budget that makes everyone happy. He said they may have to cut programs with matching funds. Magendanz also said he has the ability to say no, because there are bound to be requests made from constituents. He said he didn’t take any caucus money.
“� e precedent in this seat is to say no,” he said.
Magendanz said he will work well with District 5 Senate-elect, Mark Mullet, because while he is a socially moderate Republican, Mullet is a � scally conservative Democrat. He said he is look-ing forward to � nding common ground.
“Mark and I are both electric vehicle fans,” he said. “We get along well.”
As a result of re-districting, District 5 is � lled with what he calls urban islands in rural areas, such as North Bend and Snoqualmie. It’s a large district, extending east to Snoqualmie Pass.
“I represent this district, not my party,” Magendanz said.
Magendanz said he’s always thrived under pressure, learning to roll with it a� er 12 years in the Navy (1985 to 1997). He was stationed at Bangor Naval Base. He’s been married for 23 years to Galen, who he met when they were attending Cornell Univer-sity. Galen is an engineer for Honeywell. � e couple has two sons, Duncan, 13, and Quinn, 15. � e family has lived in Mir-rormont for 17 years.
Magendanz plans to com-mute back and forth to Olympia when they are in session, unless a day runs particularly late, in which case he has friends he can “crash” with.

BY linda ballissaquah/sammamish rePorter
Issaquah business owner Mark Mullet has resigned his city council seat effective Dec. 31, so that he may serve in his new position as state senator in District 5 for the next four years.
The energetic husband and father of four daughters, aged 2 to 9, is fired up, and ready for the daily commute when the legislature convenes in January.
Like the newly elected Dis-trict 5 representative, Chad Magendanz, Mullet will also be a freshman in Olympia. He said during the campaign process he met many of the people he’ll be serving with, so he’s not worried about being an unknown face in the crowd.
As far as committees, Mullet hopes to serve on transporta-tion, education and the finance committee, a good fit given his experience working for Bank of America.
Before becoming an Issaquah business owner, Mullet was the global head of currency option trading for Bank of America in London from 1996 to 2001, fol-
lowed by time in New York city. He grew up in Tukwila, where his parents still live in the same house he grew up in.
In his job with Bank of America, he studied how cur-rencies work, particularly the dollar, yen and euro, monitoring how governments invest their public dollars. He is now the owner of the Zeek’s Pizza and Ben and Jerry’s franchise stores in Issaquah.
Like Magendanz, he is con-cerned about education funding - after all he has four kids who are going through the public school system.
His priority and goal for this session, is to work with the unions in Olympia to get them on a Healthy Incentive Plan, which he said would free up $200 million to $300 million for education. Mullet said the city of Issaquah just implemented Healthy Incentives programs to keep health insurance costs low and believes it could save hundreds of millions of dollars at the state level.
Responding to the issue of charter schools, Mullet said the charter school initiative should not divide the education com-
munity.“People need to be focused
on the big picture,” he said. He added that the teacher’s union didn’t make a huge investment into fighting initiative 1240.
Mullet said he supports sev-enth period for Jr. High/Middle School students, because if they’re not keeping up at that age, it decreases their chance of graduating from high school. He also supports kids taking at least one AP class in high school.
As a business owner, when asked about regulations, Mullet said it can be overwhelming for
new business owners. He said the state has made progress by allowing business owners to keep track of their sales tax online.
“It would be nice to have B&O tax all in one return, not (filing) state and city,” he said.
Mullet is known to be an en-vironmentally conscientious in-dividual, driving an electric car and including solar panels in his home. He said all of the food used at Zeek’s is fresh — there are no freezers — and he uses only the highest quality ingredi-ents. Ditto Ben and Jerry’s — it may be ice cream, but he knows
what’s in it — real sustainable food. He believes people should know what they are eating and where it came from.
Mullet is ready for the chal-lenge and possible barrage of phone calls from his constitu-ents.
“If people take the time to call, you need to respond to the call,” he said. “I may not neces-sarily agree with them, but I will listen to everybody when they do call.”

� e following informa-tion was compiled from the Sammamish police reports:
PROTEST THISAnti-Obama protesters
called police Nov. 8 a� er a pair of Sammamish women confronted them and took their signs.
� e protesters, who live in Seattle and Shoreline, were part of a political action coalition group that had signs stating, “Impeach Obama” and equated the President of the United States to Hitler. One poster even showed the President with the infamous Nazi mustache.
� e group was set up outside a bank on the corner of Northeast 8th Street and 228th Avenue Northeast. A� er voicing her displeasure with the signs, one of the women grabbed a handful of free literature, two clipboards and a poster and began to walk away. Another woman inside a bank also came out and started yelling profanities at the protestors. Both women got into a car and le� with the signs.
Police later contacted the women, who returned the poster and clipboards to police. One of the women said she became so upset
because she is Jewish and the images of Barack Obama depicted as Hitler made her “furious.” Members of the political group agreed not to press charges when police returned their materials to them.
SHATTEREDA Redmond man called
police Nov. 10 to report someone smashed out the rear window of his dad’s SUV.
� e vehicle, parked in the 2200 block of Northeast 14th Drive in Sammamish, was shattered by a metal gas can, which vandals le� in the back of the vehicle. � e can had the letters HSWC written on its side.
JAMMED UPAn employee at a Sam-
mamish restaurant near the corner of Northeast 8th Street and 228th Avenue Southeast called police Nov. 6 to report vandalism to the locks on the front and back doors.
� e woman said this was the second time in a month vandals stuck small objects in the key holes, completely jamming them.
Both times it cost $300 to get the doors � xed.
VANDALISMA couple visiting their
grandchildren called Sam-mamish police Nov. 4 a� er � nding a basketball-sized
dent in the side of the their truck.
Parked legally in the 2000 block of Northeast 19th Place, the man came out to � nd the damage to his vehicle. It appeared to be caused by a blunt object and not another vehicle.
Another resident in the 2200 block of Northeast 12th Place called with a similar report later the same evening. � ey found the same type of damage done to their vehicle and bits of pumpkin pieces on the ground.
HIT AND RUNPolice responded to a
call of a hit and run outside Sahalee Country Club on Nov. 3.
When authorities arrived, they found a white Toyota Camry had collided with a � re hydrant before taking out a portion of fence along Sahalee Way. Damage was estimated at $1,500. No driver was found at the scene.
BIBLES STOLENA Sammamish resident
called police Nov. 7 to report a the� of multiple items from his vehicle parked in front of his home.
� e man, who lives in the 2400 block of Southeast 3rd Court, said thieves took several items including bibles valued at $200.
� e victim said none of the items taken were of high monetary value but they would be hard to replace — particularly the bibles which his wife used to teach classes.
BURGLARYA Sammamish man called
police Nov. 2 to report the the� of nearly $8,000 worth of items from his home.
� e man wasn’t certain if thieves forced their way into his home in the 2000 block of Eastlake Sammamish Place Southeast, or if he le� a door unlocked.
Several pricey items were taken, including a diamond and gold ring valued at $4,500.
LIQUOR THEFTPolice were called to the
Sammamish Safeway Nov. 7 a� er a witness reported seeing a man take 19 bottles of liquor, place them in a reusable bag and bypass the check stands without paying.
� e total loss was esti-mated at $600.
MISSING RIFLEA Sammamish couple
called police Nov. 6 to report someone stole a ri� e along with cash they stored in old prescription bottles.
� e couple, who lives in the 2400 block of Southeast 28th Street, said someone stole a pill bottle hidden in the bottom of their clothes basket. � ere was alleg-edly $2,000 in two missing bottles. � ieves also took a Mauser ri� e and ammuni-tion.

When Kellye Hilde joined the city of Sammamish in 2009, Evans Creek Preserve remained mostly un-changed from its centuries as a homestead farm off Highway 202. It was inacces-sible for dog-walkers, bird watchers and those looking to escape back into nature without venturing high into the Cascades and mostly unknown to Sammamish residents that lived just around the corner.
In the three years since, with the help of Washing-ton Trails Association, the Adopt-A-Stream foundation and thousands of volunteer
hours, the project is becom-ing a destination for outdoor enthusiasts in and around the community.
Hilde said the Evans Creek project, which was her first as a Park Project Director, has been a labor of love and a great source of pride given the amount of time and resources contributed.
“The majority of the park was built by volunteers,” she said. “It opened last year, but we have continued to work to build trails, do restoration and enhance critical areas.”
Hilde was back at the preserve last weekend with a host of volunteers and park commissioner Brad Conner, a Sammamish native who said the project piqued his
interest in park development. Conner has lived in
Sammamish for 20 years, at-tending school and, “driving around my lowered Honda Civic,” before raising his own family on the Plateau. He was working from home when the Evans Creek project got underway and saw it as an ideal opportu-nity to foster his interest in building trails and creating infrastructure that enhances natural areas. While his ex-perience was limited coming into the project, his passion made for a quick study and had Conner contributing in ways he hadn’t imagined.
“I enjoyed it, saw the progress and I got to drive construction equipment,” he said, adding that many fel-low volunteers encouraged him to extend his efforts with the city of Sammamish. “I became a trail steward and now we’re here helping lead work parties.”
He was one of more than a dozen individuals on hand last weekend to enhance a buffer-zone built to border the creek and provide some insulation from the parking lot above. The group planted new foliage and removed invasive species along a stretch of the preserve that local Boy Scouts have also worked on. With a number of parties invested in the long-term viability and development of the preserve and a growing population coming to experience its ever-expanding trail system, Hilde and Conner said Ev-ans Creek is a true diamond
in the rough. “The nice part about it is
it’s an unknown,” Conner said. “You’re not going to see a ton of people, you’re more likely to see owls.”
Kim Dawson, a Sam-mamish resident for 10 years who said she has been coming to the preserve since it opened last year, said she too has noticed increased traffic, but said it is still a se-rene setting for walking her two dogs, always on-leash per regulations.
The first phase of the project included the bridge over Evans Creek, upper parking lot, beginning of the trail system and a zero-utility restroom that uses a solar paneled vent to reduce the smell from waste. Unlike
composting toilets, Hilde said the waterless restroom is not hampered by a con-stant odor and is emptied once every two years. The second phase, which is set to begin in 2013, will include a long sought after connection from the city of Sammamish directly to the preserve. Cur-rently, patrons must travel down Highway 202 to access the parking lot and trails.
“What we’re finding is a lot of people outside Sam-mamish are the ones who visit the park,” she said, add-ing that the new trailhead will include a parking lot.
Aside from providing more parking for an area that continues to increase in popularity, the second phase will also serve as an expanded hiding area for the Evans Creek Preserve gnome, which regulars find and then re-hide along hiking paths in a game of hide-and-seek that has only enhanced the area’s appeal.
“I don’t even know where it started,” Hilde said. “But it’s getting people out there.”

Most know the songs. “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite � ings,” and “Edelweiss.”
“� e Sound of Music” has become synonymous with the holiday season, and this year the Issaquah High School drama department will bring the story to the high school stage.
In the lead role of Maria von Trapp, is senior Annika Dybevik. She has been in the drama program since her freshman year. � is is her fourth high school production. Dybevik said she � rst saw the movie when she was very young, and has since seen it at the Issaquah Village � eater.
“She’s de� nitely a fun spirited-person who is not afraid to speak her mind and de� nitely cares about the seven kids she takes care of,” Dybevik said of Maria. “She moves from more of a professional governess to a mother.”
� e story is set in a dark time in history, with the von Trapp family escaping from Austria to avoid German oc-cupation and Captain Georg von Trapp being forced to serve in the German Navy. Dybevik said it was an eye-opener learning about the people trying to get out of Austria before WWII started.
� e senior plans to stick with music, but maintains other
interests. She will most likely attend the University of Idaho a� er graduation.
Stage managers senior Birte Fichter, and junior Rowan Lanning, have been at their jobs for several years. Rowan plans to pursue her theatrical knowledge by attending Vir-ginia Commonwealth University, where she can study for a bachelor’s degree in stage management or technical theater.
Fichter is in charge of the front house, responsible for cueing the lights, where Rowan is the � oor stage manager responsible for mic problems and telling crew what to do.
In the role of Elsa Schrader, the baroness, is senior Juli-anne Neinhuis. She said she originally tried out for one of the roles as a nun.
“I guess they liked the way I � irted,” she said of the role.
� e baroness is the woman who is supposed to wed the Captain but as it turns out, he is in love with Maria.
Neinhuis is in the ensemble choir and plans to pursue a degree in education, and possibly music.
“Separate your lips! Expression!” belted out musical director Barbara Irish as sophomores Bryan Hamer as Rolf, the young man about to join the Nazi party, and Elizabeth Moore as oldest von Trapp child, Liesl, rehearsed “Sixteen going on Seventeen.”
� eir singing de� es their youth – both sounded like seasoned pros. All told there are 34 in the cast, including 12 girls as nuns, who Moore described as fabulous singers.
Several children from local elementary and middle schools are in the production in the roles of the youngest of the von Trapp family, including little Zoe McDowell as Gretl, the baby of the family. She attends Clark Elementary.
� e show is choreographed by Sheri Lewis, the owner of Westlake Dance Center. Holly Whiting, drama teacher of the Issaquah High School Performing Arts Department, is directing.
Whiting said they do about three shows a year – one mu-sical, one dramatic play and a children’s show. If time allows they squeeze in student directed one-acts.
“� e Sound of Music” opens � ursday Nov. 29 with a show Friday night as well – then the only Saturday matinee, Dec. 1 at 1:30 p.m., is a sing-a-long.
Scored by Rogers and Hammerstein, the play will con-tinue Dec. 6-8 at 7 p.m.
Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $8 for students and seniors, $5 for IHS students and sta� and $5 for the sing along matinee. Tickets are available at www.seatyourself.biz/Issaquah, or at the door.

Big Lots, the nation’s largest broad line closeout retailer, celebrated the grand opening of their newest store in Is-saquah, at Pickering Place, 1475 11th Avenue NW.
As part of the grand opening celebration, Big Lots made a $2,500 donation to Issaquah Valley Elementary School during its ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday, Nov. 16.
Big Lots stores nationwide stock stores with merchandise that typically sells for 20 to 40 percent less than discount stores and up to 70 percent below traditional retailers. At 23,800 square feet, customers will find thousands of prod-ucts available from everyday consumables, seasonal goods, home decor, electronics, toys, and one-time closeouts. Big Lots also offers great values on a full assortment of brand-
name furniture and Serta mattresses.Big Lots is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and is a
Fortune 500 company with more than 1,450 stores in 48 states and over 80 Liquidation World and LW stores.
Trader Joe’s movesTrader Joe’s opened in its new larger location in Is-
saquah, in Issaquah Commons on NW Gilman, Nov. 14. The space was formerly occupied by Party @ Display & Costume, which moved next to Best Buy on East Lake Sammamish Parkway.
Trader Joe’s old location in Pickering Place didn’t meet the 10,000 square-foot requirement for it to sell liquor.

Eastside StoryWhat’s happening in nearby cities
Eastside Audubon will salvage plants from the former Group Health campus in Redmond’s Overlake area and replant them later in the winter on the Audubon Bird-Loop at Marymoor Park. Volunteers at the Dec. 1 event bring their own shovels and Audubon experts will show them what plants to remove. Those who wish to help can contact Tim McGruder, 425-822-8580, or [email protected].
After more than a decade of discussions, West Hill residents have made it clear they don’t want to annex to Renton. Annexation to Renton was failing by about 10 percent points. The vote ends the City of Renton’s discus-sions with King County about who will govern West Hill.
Noticing a turnaround in the housing market, the Renton School District has started the process to sell sev-eral pieces of undeveloped land the district owns. How-ever, the district faces some opposition in the Tiffany Park neighborhood from people who don’t want to see about 20 acres of land become single-family homes. The district wanted to start the process to sell the land back in 2008, but the failing U.S. economy and housing market caused it to change its mind. That isn’t the case anymore.
A convicted felon who escaped from the Monroe Correctional Complex on Nov. 7, was recaptured near North Bend. A King County Sheriff ’s search dog team as well as SWAT members searched the area of the Rattle-snake Ridge trailhead after receiving a tip from a hiker. When police caught up with the felon, he attempted to flee, but was stopped by the police dog.
A ruptured beaver dam flooded a family home in Duvall on Nov. 5 as a wall of water four or five feet high crashed down a hillside into their home. The family was away at the time – at work or school. The house was saved because the flooding pushed a huge pile of debris up to shelter the house and shed from the main impact. Friends and neighbors came that afternoon and worked till dark to start the clean-up.
A Kirkland couple and a former police officer from Florida were sentenced Oct. 26 for being involved in mortgage fraud scheme in Florida. Dating back to 1990, the trio plotted to buy residential property in Sarasota by lying about the property’s price, their intended use of the property, employment information, income and assets, to name a few, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. Their goal was to obtain the best loan possible for each property and sell the property in a few years. The scheme came to an end in 2008 when the real estate market collapsed.

Skyline head coach Don Braman never looked at 2012 as a rebuilding year.
Despite losing a trio of all-state players and facing the perennially di� cult conference slate in 4A KingCo, Bra-man was con� dent his team could � nd an identity and replace departed stars with a new cast of contributors.
On Saturday at Sparks Stadium, his team proved him right.
Skyline downed district rival Issaquah 1-0 behind a � rst-half strike from Izzy Marshall on an Amanda Johnston as-sist and got yet another shutout in goal from Jaeden Chew
and Emily Baril to win the school’s second straight 4A girls soccer state title.
� e road was anything but easy for the Spartans, who fell in the league title game and were forced to play on the road against a pair of conference champions to reach the semi� nals.
For Issaquah, the loss concludes a 19-3-1 season and gives the program its second 4A runner-up � nish since 2009.
State champs, againSkyline hoists the state championship trophy for the fourth time in � ve years. � e Spartans beat rival Issaquah 1-0 Saturday to take the title. DON BORIN, WWW.DONBORIN.COM
Skyline girls soccer team records fourth state title game in last five years
Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world of sports
Eastside Catholic football advances to state semi� nals for � rst time since ’ 94
Henry Jarvis rattled off a pair of first half touch-down runs to go with scores from quarterback Trey Reynolds and Elisha Pa’aga to help Eastside Catholic to a 31-13 halftime lead and coach Jeremy Thielbahr’s squad exploded for 34 more points after the break to bury Marysville-Pilchuck, 65-34, in the 3A state quarterfinals.
The win moves the Crusaders to the state semi-finals for only the second time in school history and sets a Saturday date with University of Spokane at Joe Albi Stadium with a 4 p.m. scheduled kickoff.
A win would put EC into the title game against the winner of the other semi-final between KingCo foes Mount Si and four-time defending champion Belle-vue, which ousted the Crusaders in the quarterfinal round last year’s state tournament.
Skyline football makes yet another trip to the state semi� nals
Skyline and Roosevelt were tied 14 each at the half, but quarterback Max Browne, running back Cedric Cooper and a tightened defensive effort lead to a 54-21 win for the Spartans in the 4A state quarterfinals.
Trevor Barney and Nic Sblendorio caught scores from Browne and Cooper had more than 100 yards in the first half alone on the ground to power the of-fense.
Camas, which downed Federal Way 65-32 in another semi-final, will be the Spartans opponent at 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon in the Tacoma Dome. A win would set up a state title matchup with the winner of the other semi-final between Auburn and Bellarmine Prep.

BY LINDA BALLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Micha Juma has good reason to want to learn how to safely handle and shoot a handgun.
Juma is a single mother of three. Her grandmother lives with them in a rural area, where Juma’s home has been vandalized twice in broad daylight. � e thieves made o� with a riding lawn-mower, a generator and even the fruit plants on her porch. Pretty brazen.
Where she lives, she said, it takes emergency respond-ers 10-15 minutes to get to her home. So, Juma has a concealed weapons permit.
“A lot can happen in that amount of time. I want to be smart with my � rearm and be able to protect my family,” she said. “� ey’re my life.”
Juma brought her EEA Witness, an Italian-made .45-caliber handgun to the basic women’s handgun class at the Issaquah Police Department on Nov. 15, the second night of a two-part class.
“I understood the laws for the most part, but they teach us several options,” she said. “� is is your last resort.”
Detective Paul Fairbanks leads the class, and indeed, he said it is not intended to be an all-inclusive class on shooting. He encourages the women who are interested to get more intense training at a private facility.
� e students bring their own guns and ammuni-tion. All students must pass a background check and live or work in Issaquah to participate.
“Most of them are here
because someone has encouraged them to take the class,” Fairbanks said. “Some are repeat students, some have never touched a gun in their lives.”
He said husbands and boyfriends o� en encourage their wife or girlfriend to take the class if they them-selves own a gun and want their partner to know how to use it.
Fairbanks said the program is an extension of a class no longer o� ered, which was called the citizen’s academy – a watered-down civilian police academy. � e women’s class continued, and has been o� ered for the past eight years.
On the � rst night of the class, Fairbanks talks about � rearm rules, concealed weapons permits, use of force and self-protection.
He said he stresses personal awareness, being safe and not putting one’s self in a dangerous situation.
“� is is just a small slice of learning to protect your-self,” Fairbanks said.
One of the largest groups of women who take the class are horseback riders, Fairbanks said, due to the danger of running into ag-
gressive wildlife when riding in the back-country.
Debbie Randall of Is-saquah is one of those horse-back riders, but she said she’s more concerned about the two-legged variety she could run into when riding. She is no stranger to guns.
“I grew up believing in protecting myself,” Randall said, adding that her dad
was the Chief of Police in Omak. “I grew up with guns in eastern Washington.”
Her daughter, Kim Schu-macher, grew up in western Washington so she hadn’t had much exposure to guns even though her father is re-tired from the King County Sheri� ’s O� ce.
In addition to Juma, Ran-dall and Schumacher, there were eight others in the class, four of them school bus drivers.
Cristina Fenesan was taking the class more out of curiosity, and to get more comfortable with handling a gun. Her husband went out and bought her a Glock 23. She said he was in the army for 20 years, so he was no stranger to guns.
Once on the range, the women � rst were given hard plastic guns with lasers, for practice. Once they had the target in their sites, they pulled the “trigger” and when the laser turned green, that meant they had � red.
Fairbanks instructed them to take an athletic stance, leaning forward at the hips with their weight on the front of their feet and shoulders slightly rolled. � e hand positioning is also critical, with thumbs right on top of each other on the le� side of the gun (for the
right handed).“I can’t see anything with
both eyes open,” said Kathy Garrison, one of the bus drivers.
O� cer Dustin Huberdeau, one of three other o� cers as-sisting Fairbanks, said it takes a lot of practice to shoot with both eyes open.
Kathy Nilsen joked that she wanted to stick with the plastic gun.
But then it was time to bring out the real deal. Fair-banks laid out the ground rules.
“� e line is hot, means you’re shooting,” he said. “Cease � re means put your weapon down.”
Garrison, a small woman, had a hard time because she had a revolver which was harder to pull. But once she got into a rhythm she was a kick to watch. Schumacher was a bit nervous, but once she got her turn, she agreed with Garrison that it was a pretty awesome experience.
� e women started out shooting from the 5-yard line, eventually increasing to 10-yards.
Fairbanks said the class is o� ered on an as-needed basis, about twice a year.

Angelica Marie Germani and Pablo Alejandro Mendoza, both of Redmond, were married Sept. 2 in Woodinville. � e bride is the daughter of David and Evangeline Germani of Issaquah. � e groom’s parents are Abdon Mendoza and Barbara Mendoza of Seattle.
Five residents of Issaquah and Sammamish have awarded 1st degree Black belts on Nov. 7 by True Mar-tial Arts in Sammamish. � ey are: Robert Parker, a ju-nior at Issaquah High School, who has been training for 11 years; Sophie Clemmons, a freshman at Skyline High School, who has been training for seven years; Levente Gulyas, a 7th grader at Beaver Lake Middle School, who has been training for seven years; Niveda Ganesh, a sophomore at Skyline High School, who has been training for nine years; and Michael Ko, a 7th grader at Beaver Lake Middle School, who has been training for nine years.
PeopleWho’s making news around Issaquah & Sammamish
Gov. Chris Gregoire pro-claimed November 12-18, 2012 as Washington State Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. � e statewide proc-lamation is also in tandem with the National Drowsy Driving prevention week sponsored by � e National Sleep Foundation.
� e Oct. 17 proclamation was initiated by Issaquah residents William Shaw and Mary Beth Haggerty-Shaw in recognition of their daughter, Mora, who was nearly killed as a result of an accident caused by a drowsy driver. � e Shaw’s recent proclamation initiative was also facilitated by 5th District House Rep. Jay Rodne. Wil-liam Shaw is publisher of the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter.
In July 2006, Mora Hag-gerty Shaw su� ered mul-tiple major fractures and a traumatic brain injury from a Blewitt Pass drowsy driving accident and was in a coma for two weeks. Spending years in recovery, Mora Shaw continues to deal with her injuries with more surgeries in her future. However, Shaw was one of the lucky ones, one that survived.
Since Mora’s accident, the Shaws mission has been to increase drowsy driving awareness and prevention and to do all they can to prevent other people from going through the nightmare that their daughter and family went though. In 2010, the Shaws also testi� ed before the Washington state House Judiciary Committee to encourage them to con-sider sti� er penalties for drowsy drivers that caused accidents and injuries.
According to a Novem-ber 2011 Washington State Patrol press release, in 2010, there were 17 people killed and 74 seriously in-jured in Washington State because motorists were either drowsy or had fallen asleep while driving. Es-timates from the National Highway Tra� c Safety Administration say that nationally drowsy driving results in 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and more than 100,000 accidents each year.
Not only are Washington State drivers at risk of fall-ing asleep when they drive while too tired, but also their response times and alertness are dulled. Accord-ing to the AAA Foundation for Tra� c Safety, a� er 24
hours of no sleep, a driver is as impaired as if he or she were over the legal limit for alcohol. Sometimes police pull over people thinking their driving patterns point to drunkenness, but instead they � nd overly tired drivers behind the wheel.
People become drowsy while driving for a number of reasons, the most obvious of which is sleep loss that could be caused simply by missing the necessary hours of rest or by sleep disorders. Other causes of fatigue can be overnight or split work shi� s, jet-lag, medication, alcohol or illegal drug use. Younger drivers 18-25 are also more at risk statistically.
Besides the obvious advice to get enough sleep, treat sleep disorders medi-cally and avoid taking sub-stances that cause fatigue, other good ideas to prevent a drowsy driving accident are:
• Get a good night’s sleep before you hit the road. You’ll want to be alert for the drive, so be sure to get adequate sleep (seven to nine hours) the night before you go.
• Don’t be too rushed to arrive at your destination. Many drivers try to maxi-mize the holiday weekend
by driving at night or with-out stopping for breaks. It’s better to allow the time to drive alert and arrive alive.
• Use the buddy system. Just as you should not swim alone, avoid driving alone for long distances. A buddy who remains awake for the journey can take a turn behind the wheel and help identify the warning signs of fatigue.
• Take a break every 100 miles or two hours. Do something to refresh yourself like getting a snack, switching drivers, or going for a run.
• Take a nap - � nd a safe place to take a 15 to 20-min-ute nap, if you think you might fall asleep. Be cautious about excessive drowsiness a� er waking up.
• Avoid alcohol and medications that cause drowsiness as a side-e� ect.
• Avoid driving at times when you would normally be asleep.
• Consume ca� eine. � e equivalent of two cups of co� ee can increase alertness for several hours.
Certain physical symptoms should alert a driver to get o� the road because of his or her
fatigue level. � ese include constant yawning, trouble fo-cusing visually, dri� ing out of your lane, suddenly realizing that you can’t remember the last stretch of road traveled, or actually falling asleep and waking up a� er having con-tinued to steer the car down the road.
As Drowsy Driving Pre-vention Week is o� cially observed in Washington State, the Shaws urge all drivers to be aware of their level of alertness or fatigue before they get behind the wheel - this week, during the busy holiday season and throughout the year.
In light of the statewide proclamation, this year the Shaws have also partnered with the Washington State Patrol, the State Transporta-tion Safety Commission, AAA of Washington and the King County Sheri� s’ O� ce in their e� orts to promote Drowsy Driving awareness and prevention.
For more information on drowsy driving, go to the National Sleep Foundation and the AAA Foundations’ websites: www.drowsydriv-ing.org and www.aaafoun-dation.org.
