OH CHRISTMAS TREEThe beginning of an annual holiday tradition

Klahanieannexationvote a goElection set for Feb. 11

In a special meeting held Nov. 9, the Issaquah City Council voted 5-1 with council member Josh Schaer voting no, and Tola Marts absent, to hold the Klahanie annexation special election Feb. 11, 2014.

The King County council has yet to weigh in on the issue, but will discuss it at its Dec. 16 meeting.

If annexed, the Klahanie annexation area would be subject to Issaquah’s zoning regulation, assume a pro-portionate share of the city’s then outstanding indebted-ness and be assessed and taxed at the same rate and upon the same basis as prop-erty within the city.

From the day a� er � anksgiv-ing to Christmas day, it’s very common to see people driving with a tree strapped down on top of their car. For many, it’s an annual tradition. You get the tree, set it up in the corner of your living room, and take in the holiday aroma as you listen to Christmas music, drink hot cocoa and decorate your tree.

But wouldn’t it be more satisfying knowing that tree was sawed down with your very own hands? Lucky for you, there are numerous tree farms in the area that can provide you with an annual holiday tradition of cut-ting down your own Christmas tree. And if you’re just not in the mood, there are also pre-cut tree options.

Trinity Tree Farm in Issaquah has been selling trees since the 1980s, but the Dutro family has owned it since 1996.

“We have really focused on growing beautiful Christmas trees and providing our cus-tomers with an annual holiday tradition to visit our farm,” said

Glenn Dutro, owner of Trinity Tree Farm.

Dutro said that Trinity Tree Farm is a festive family-oriented place to select and cut your own Christmas tree, but they also have a healthy selection of pre-cut trees to choose from. � ey o� er assistance loading the tree onto your vehicle, a complimen-tary tree tie down, complimenta-ry hot beverages, train rides for children at an additional charge, two � re pits where people can relax and warm up, an antique � re engine for a photo opportu-nity and food stands that serve hot dogs, kettle corn, nachos,

pretzels, snacks and refresh-ments.

“Our farm o� ers a close in but natural woods-like setting,” Dutro said. “� e farm is on top of a hill and o� ers beautiful views of Squak, Tiger Mountain and Mount Rainier. We pride ourselves on o� ering the best customer service possible. We will help out in any way to make your tree hunting experience a great time.”

Serres Farm in Redmond planted their � rst Christmas tree in 1987. Bill Serres said the trees grow about a foot a year, so they didn’t start harvesting their trees

until 1992. Serres, owner and operator of

the family owned 24-acre Serres Farm, said they o� er u-cut trees of all sizes, from 4 to 24-feet.

“We provide you a saw, and you cut down your perfect tree,” he said.

A� er � nding and cutting the perfect tree, Serres said people can help themselves to hot co� ee or homemade cookies made by

Serres Farm on the Redmond-Sammamish border. KELLY MONTGOMERY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

� e Metropolitan King County Council recognized the importance of increasing awareness of Drowsy Driving Tuesday, Dec. 10.

“I heard the statistics on the numbers of people who drive drowsy,” said Coun-cilmember Kathy Lambert. “It is vital as we approach the busy holiday season to remind people of the seriousness of this issue and the number of accidents and deaths caused each year.”

Recent statistics state that drowsy driv-ers cause 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and more than 100,000 accidents each year in the U.S. � is includes 16 deaths and 60 serious injuries in Washington state as recently as 2010.

Lambert was joined in this recognition by Bill Shaw, regional publisher of the Bellevue Reporter, Issaquah & Sam-mamish Reporter, Mercer Island Report-er and Snoqualmie Valley Record. Shaw was joined by his wife, Mary Beth.

� eir daughter, Mora, was severely injured in an accident caused by a drowsy driver in 2006. She survived, but went through many years of treatment. Since this accident, the Shaw’s have embarked on a crusade to make the public more aware of this major impediment to safe

driving.“� e Shaw’s story touched my heart

and I am so glad that Mora survived,” said Lambert. “� eir commitment to public education and knowledge of this important issue is commendable. I was very glad to help participate with them to increase awareness by sponsoring this recognition.”

Some important points to remember about drowsy driving are:

Anyone can fall asleep while driving – more than one third of drivers report falling asleep behind the wheel.

� ere are some common sense things one can do to make driving safer:

For maximum alertness, get enough sleep before your trip. Take a mid-a� er-noon break, and avoid driving between 2-6 a.m.

Take a passenger to keep you talking, watch for signs of sleepiness, and share the driving.

Schedule a break every two hours or 100 miles to take a quick nap or get some exercise.

Consume a ca� einated drink or food to boost your short-term alertness.

More information on drowsy driving is available at www.drowsydriving.org.

Kathy Huckabay will begin her Sammamish City Council tenure in a couple of weeks, and as a former council member, she couldn’t be more ready.

Huckabay was elected to the � rst Sammamish council in 1999 and served for 10 years, one of which was as mayor. And she already has a couple items on her agenda for January, including discussing the long-debated issue of Sammamish creating its own � re department.

Approximately one year ago, Huckabay was invited by the current city council to look at how � re services could best be provided to the community. As one of Sam-mamish’s founding council members, Huckabay has believed for some time that the city should have its own � re service.

And with a Jan. 17 dead-line quickly approaching to keep the current arrange-ment, Huckabay’s � rst couple weeks should be nothing less than exciting.

“It’s been le� to the very last minute,” Huckabay said. “� ere’s an awful lot still on

the table.” Another item on Hucka-

bay’s agenda is increasing city sta� .

“We have excellent, talented and well-educated sta� ,” Huck-abay said. “But now that we’re going into the comprehensive plan, we need to reach out the community and get a sense of what the community wants. All of that needs to be polled, and we don’t have enough sta� right now to do that. Now that we’re growing again, we could de� nitely use some additional resources.”

Huckabay said she is look-ing forward to working with the other council members.

She explained that on the original council, despite having many political di� er-ences, they were able to put their di� erences aside, work together and focus on putting together a great city. Hucka-bay said that the current council hasn’t gotten along as well as she would hope.

“I don’t see that sort of collaborative e� ort,” she said. “And I’m very interested in making sure that we have a very collaborative council, that all of the city council members are fully informed, and, more importantly, that we bring the citizens into the process.”

The Christmas season traditionally has been a “bah-humbug” time for me. Maybe it’s the extra “pres-sure” of trying to � nd the “right” gi� or that I spend

more time in the malls for the requisite shopping than I do celebrating the season with friends and family. It also

hasn’t helped that putting up outdoor Christmas lights is a battle I always lose with the roof.

Whatever the reason, it’s made Decem-ber a month I wanted to avoid.

It hasn’t helped that for the past two decades or so, my wife and I have driven down to the Portland area to deliver gi� s to family. Too o� en the trips have turned into a long slog as we get hammered by the winter weather that always seems to show up between � anksgiving and Christmas.

We’ve endured heavy rain on many trips, snow on oth-ers and even one night of freezing rain as a storm blew through the Columbia Gorge. � at resulted in a white-knuckled, two-hour ordeal just to get from Sandy, Ore., to a few miles north of Vancouver where the weather mercifully released its grip. We still shudder when we tell the tale.

So, to say I was surprised by our trip last weekend would be a huge understatement. � e weather was cold, of course, but the sun almost made it look like summer and the tra� c was unbelievably light. � ere was nary a raindrop in sight.

Without the worry of the weather, the visit became a fun-� lled trip, including meals at the family farm and later at a restaurant where we treated for dinner. Even our good deed of buying evergreen swags and wreaths on Sunday’s drive home continued the ideal tra� c conditions all the way to our garage.

� e good feelings have continued since our return. My wife and I are limiting our mall foraging to brief excursions and I actually got the outdoor Christmas lights up before it rained and did it with little, if any, screaming.

So, are my Grinch-like days over? Maybe so. I recently caught myself saying “ho, ho, ho.”

‘TIS THE SEASONThat ‘bah humbug’ feelingtakes a turn for the better

Libraries need more space, books

Imagine this; you are casually strolling along on the streets with your best friend. You walk past a bookstore and he shows you a really cool book. You immediately rush to the library to check it out, but as soon as you check the online catalog you realize the book is checked out.

You check to see when it will become available, but the next time it will become available is the next month. � is happens because there are only two of these books in circulation. � is has happened to me and I suggest we should expand the library and add more books.

Libraries are the center of most school learning. A study shows that students

LETTERS

We know the level of service the county provides Klah-anie and can only expect it

to not improve and likely decline. We know that the level of service Issaquah is planning by the Nesbitt Study is pretty minimal. � e council went out of its way to make it very clear that any transportation projects for Klahanie were going to the bottom of the list that includes the Provi-

dence Point signal from 2002 and safety improvements to NW Sammamish for the Greenwood Point annexation from 2005, which in both cases are now shown in the “Beyond 2019” column.

Klahanie would only be a suburb for Issaquah and will only be neutral in cost with the limited service levels in the Nesbitt study, essentially no transporta-tion improvements and an uncertain state subsidy.

For Sammamish, Klahanie is an important part of their city to make it as e� cient and sustainable as possible.

Sammamish has over three miles of important roads adjoining Klahanie and their residents in the northeast part of their city have a great need for Issaquah-Fall City Road improvements.

Sammamish has essentially no bond-ed indebtedness and a huge amount in the bank. I heard a couple Sammamish council members say they would annex Klahanie without the state sales tax subsidy. I couldn’t � gure out why they would leave that money on the table. I suggested that money would be great for park improvements and helping Eastside Fire and Rescue with the big loss to District 10 revenue with present Klahanie revenue only being replaced by about 40 percent by Issaquah.

A� er further investigation I � nd out that Sammamish can so e� ciently and sustainably serve Klahanie that it does not even qualify for the state money

who come to the library daily usually excel at school. Although you could say that other projects like improving the roads and reno-vating the park are important, libraries are even more important.

Libraries help educate kids so that they will excel and will � nd jobs. Some of the kids might even become future presidents.

Adding more space to a library is very important, and is something that should be done soon. If you add more space and � ll

the library with more books, it will educate more people and people would start spend-ing more time reading than playing video games.

meant for poorer cities that cannot a� ord an annexation without state subsidy.

I gag over this “I love Issaquah, I love Sam-mamish” talk. Klahanie people need to start talking about loving Klahanie and what is in its best interest long term.

Sammamish has suggested it can do great things for the residents of Klahanie and the residents of their city by annexing Klahanie. I think it is time to have Sammamish put their commitment through a public process. I � nd myself aligning very uncomfortably with those opposed to Issaquah’s annexa-tion of Klahanie because they oppose the “nanny state Issaquah” over the plastic bag issue. � ere are others opposed to annexation because of the water/sewer assumption issue.

It looks like the � re service issue is resolv-

ing itself. By delaying an annexation vote Issaquah can force Sammamish to come up with a comprehensive plan for what it would do and perhaps come to some agreement on water/sewer issues.

Issaquah is proposing pretty minimal services to Klahanie, is ignoring huge future transportation costs and, unlike Sammamish, is claiming to be too poor to annex the area without state subsidy.

It is time to look at what is in the best inter-est of Klahanie, Sammamish and Issaquah over the long term. � at requires time and putting some pressure on Sammamish. By delaying the vote Issaquah still holds most of the cards. It can help get the best deal for Klahanie residents and can potentially avoid annexing an area that is hard to serve and comes with huge future costs.

My son recently received a unicycle for his birthday. � e circus arts are encouraged at his school so

he’s been practicing in the gym for months. � e driveway is already � lled with ramps

for skateboards, scooters and bicycles and he want-ed one more conveyance to ride o� a jump. � e daredevil gene runs a mile wide in my family as is evident by the monthly bills from Swedish. � e kids did not inherit this from me.

A� er only a few tries, my husband also

has mastered the unicycle. My daughter smartly declined the o� er to try as she was in a corner practicing her karate.

I failed miserably on the � rst attempt, but I’ll try again, most likely when nobody is looking. Life is short and there is still so much to learn.

In order to spare my limbs, I’ve decided to hone other skills to keep current in tech-nology and business. In other words, I’d rather strain my eyes in front of a computer screen than strain my neck in a spectacular unicycle crash.

Bellevue College submits site masterplan for Issaquah Highlands campusBY LINDA [email protected]

Bellevue College has submitted its site master plan to the city of Issaquah for its campus in the Issaquah Highlands.

� e plan includes six buildings each with four-stories. Ray White, vice-president for administrative services, said

at total buildout the campus will include 427,000 square feet.

White said the college will start with one or two build-ings, but this is a 20 to 30-year plan. At total buildout, 4,000 students could be accommodated.

"If we have a strong reason to get bulldozers in there, it would still be about three years before we'd open the doors," White said.

One thing that could jump start it is to have a partner, White said, such as a professional-technical program that has immediate training needs. Bellevue College is building a new health building on its main campus in Bellevue.

But with the population growth Issaquah and the East-side are experiencing, White said that could spur them on to move dirt.

"We have some potential candidates for the site, some early programs," White said.

Some of those include continuing education, retreat facilities, and very targeted high school programs such as STEM.

White said that given the location of the campus, envi-ronmental sciences would be a good � t. � e 20-acres the college owns includes a wetland and abundant forested area.

"We're going to use as little as we can – maybe 10 acres," he said.

� e city is reviewing the site plan, which will more than likely come before the City Council sometime in January.

Swedish Issaquah named ‘Top Hospital’Swedish Issaquah has been named as one of the “Top

Hospitals” in the nation at providing the highest quality of patient care, according to � e Leapfrog Group’s annual survey of more than 1,300 hospitals. � e survey compares hospitals performance on the national standards of safety, quality and e� ciency.

In its � rst year of eligibility Swedish Medical Center’s Issaquah campus earned the distinction, one of only two hospitals in Washington state. Virginia Mason in Seattle was the other recipient. � e organization surveyed 1,300 hospitals nationally.

Swedish Issaquah, which opened in 2012, is one of only 55 urban hospitals named as a Top Hospital by Leapfrog, which also recognized 22 top rural hospitals and 13 to top children’s hospitals.

“It is an honor for Swedish/Issaquah to be named by � e Leapfrog Group as one of the Top Hospitals. Swedish/Issaquah takes pride in representing a culture of the high-est standard of care,” said Chuck Salmon, chief executive of Issaquah and Swedish Ambulatory Care Centers.

Open for only six months, Dickey’s Barbecue behind Bartells at 5704 E. Lake Sammamish Drive, in Is-saquah is temporarily closed.

Jami Zimmerman, associ-ate director of public relations for the Dallas, Texas com-pany, said Dickey’s Barbecue, Inc. is in the process of trans-ferring ownership of the loca-tion which should re-open by the end of the year.

“Dickey’s is an awesome brand with 360 locations across the nation,” she said.

Zimmerman was not at liberty to share the name of the new owner.

Dickey’s opened last June to much fanfare by mother and son team, Sarah and Alex Forest, both originally from Texas.

� e original general manager Denise Bassett said the restaurant had problems from day one, and that she resigned July 5,

moving back to Montana.Bassett said she stayed until shortly

a� er opening, and that she trained all the employees.

“� ere was a lot of potential, but there were a lot of problems,” she said.

� e reviews of the Is-saquah Dickey’s on Yelp, an online business review site, are mostly negative.

Chris Williams, who was the assistant manager, said he quit when Bassett did.

“I wasn’t used to the management style,” he said. “It reminded me of

the line in Apocalypse Now, ‘do you find my methods unsound?’ I didn’t see any method at all. Denise was trying real hard.”

Zimmerman said she was sorry to hear the reviews

were so bad, but she said it’s a matter of � nding the right person for the space.

Local dermatologist teams upwith Santa to help children with cancer

Issaquah dermatologist Dr. Arlo Miller and his wife, Johanna Miller, are team-ing up with local icon Santa Al to deliver Christmas gi� s to children with cancer and their families.

Johanna Miller, a former oncology nurse, said she understands the terrible strain that cancer can cause, not only for patients but also for their loved ones.

“I’m a mom to two little girls and I can’t imagine how di� cult it must be to try to make Christmas special when you’re deal-ing with the � nancial and emotional toll of a serious illness,” she said. “When we heard about Santa Al and the work he is doing, Arlo and I decided that this would be the perfect way for us to give back.”

Between Dec. 1-20, all pro� ts from cosmetic treatments and product sales will be donated to Santa Al to provide holiday gi� s and assistance for local children and family members. � ose who wish to lend a hand and do not need any cosmetic treatment can drop o� gi� cards from any local department or grocery stores at the practice instead.

Dressed in full Santa attire, Santa Al visits sick children, as well as abused children, disabled adults and hospitalized veterans, at Christmas and throughout the year. He brings toys for children, as well as gi� cards.

Miller Family Dermatology is located at 450 N.W. Gilman Blvd, Suite 301A.

� e State Fire Marshal’s O� ce is o� ering residents a number of tips to be � re safe with their holiday decorations, especially Christmas trees. ■ Needles on freshly cut

trees should be green and hard to pull back from the branches, and the needle should not break. A dried out tree can be identi� ed by bouncing the tree trunk on the ground, if many needles fall o� , it has dried out and is a � re hazard.■ Cut your tree at

45-degree angle. Keep the tree stand � lled with water at all times and at least three feet away from heat sources.■ Use only lighting that

has been listed by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laborato-ries (UL). Inspect holiday lights each year for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets.

Eastside Catholic falls to Bellevue in 3A state title gameCrusaders state runner-up for second straight year, second time in school history after falling 52-20BY JOSH [email protected]

Eastside Catholic knew to beat the � ve-time defending state champions from Bellevue, they would need a near-� awless e� ort.

Instead they were le� lamenting missed opportunities a� er the Wolverines forced four turnovers in a 52-20 win for the 3A state title.

“We needed to play better,” Eastside Catholic head coach Jeremy � ielbahr said. “� at’s a great ballclub over there.”

� e Crusaders drove inside the Bellevue 20-yard line on the game’s � rst drive. But an interception in the end zone from senior Tim Haehl set the tone and led to a score from the Wolverines’ senior tight end Ross Conners six plays later for a 7-0 lead.

Sophomore quarterback Harley Kirsch pulled his team within seven in the second quarter with a one-yard quar-terback sneak to cap an eight play drive that covered 57 yards.

But three Bellevue touchdowns in the � nal four minutes

of the half, bolstered by a fumble recovery deep in Crusaders’ territory, put things out of reach and ended EC’s hopes of the program’s � rst state title.

“We’ve just got to com-pete at a higher level, more consistently,” � ielbahr said.

Senior running back Henry Jarvis returned from injury and � nished with four carries, but a stingy Bellevue defense held the Crusaders to just 24 yards on the ground for the game.

Kirsch � nished with 27 completions on his 37 at-tempts, with two intercep-tions and a touchdown pass to senior Colin MacIlven-nie on the game’s � nal play.

� ielbahr praised his team’s growth throughout the year, and Goncharo� said there was little doubt EC would again � nd itself in prime position to chal-lenge for more titles in coming years, with a bevy of talented underclassmen led by Kirsch.

“I believe in this team,” � ielbahr said. “I believe in our kids.”

Returning starters abound for EC heading into 2014BY JOSH [email protected]

Eastside Catholic will once again be a favorite to get back to the Tacoma Dome and 3A state title game in 2014, bolstered by a host of returning starters.

Quarterback Harley Kirsch will spearhead the e� ort once again on o� ense, and will enter his junior season as a potential � rst team All-Metro selection a� er throwing 35 touchdowns and only three interceptions this season.

Only one player with more than 20 carries graduates in running back Henry Jarvis, who returned from an injury to start the title game.

His 1,085 yards and 14 scores (in only 10 games) will be certainly missed. But with Jarvis and short-yardage special-ist Elisha Pa’aga as the only losses, EC will welcome back a host of backs that combined for more than 1,000 yards and 20 touchdowns.

While Colin MacIlvennie and Colin Boit graduate from the receiving corps, dynamic playmakers will once again stretch opposing defenses as Devon Arbis-Jackson (72 catches, 1,113 yards, 15 scores), Brandon Wellington (17.8 yards per catch average) and Matt Laris (30 catches, 431 yards, 4 scores) return with another year of seasoning.

Pa’aga will be missed on both sides of the ball for the Crusaders a� er � nishing the year as the second leading tackler. But only four of the top 15 players in that category were seniors this season. Wellington ended the year with four interceptions, and three other players with two come back in Jimmie Jolli� e, Jonathon Webster and Jake Jackson.

The start of a new year is the perfect occasion to stop and ask yourself a few questions about your lifestyle and health. Just in case you’re lacking direction, here are seven resolutions for becoming a better human being or, at the very least, for feeling better about yourself.

1. Setting an objective and achieving it. There’s nothing like the feeling of accomplishment. Whether it involves stopping a bad habit or starting something new, the important thing is to set yourself a realistic objective and to do everything possible in order to meet it.

2. Donating to an organization. Whether it’s money, material goods, or your time and skills, giving is rewarding, both for you and the

recipients.

3. Traveling. For some it’s an adventure, for others it’s a time to relax. Whatever the case, a trip is the occasion to broaden your horizons and stock up on some great memories.

4. Cleaning up. Whether you want to de-clutter your thoughts, your fi nances, your circle of friends, or your home, a good cleanup is always useful in starting the year on the right foot.

5. Giving a helping hand. There are many ways to help others: help a friend to move, babysit your nieces and nephews, or do some shopping for elderly parents.

6. Spending more time with your loved ones. Taking a break from the worries of daily life to build a closer relationship with family members is a rewarding experience we too often neglect. And yet it’s priceless!

7. Taking care of yourself. Treating yourself to some personal care once in a while does you good—eat well, exercise, have fun, and spoil yourself a little bit.

Seven resolutions for feeling good about yourself

A� er winning Miss Washington Junior Teen in August, 16-year-old Claire Wright recently represented Washington state as she competed in the national pageant competition, � nishing in the top 10.

Wright said she started doing pageants in seventh grade a� er being bullied in some of her regular activities. In her very

� rst pageant, she � nished in the top 15. It was a perfect � t. "� e pageant system I'm in works closely with USA and

Miss America, so this is the biggest pageant system for girls my age," said Wright, who lives in Sammamish and is a sophomore at Eastside Catholic School.

� e National America Miss Pageant was held in Anaheim, Calif. Wright said it was an amazing experience, and she enjoyed meeting so many girls from all over the nation.

Pageant participants are judged based on categories, includ-ing a personal introduction, an interview and formal wear. In place of a talent, participants are able to choose from � ve dif-ferent options, ranging from modeling to acting. Wright chose to compete in the spokesmodel competition, where she talked about the dangers of texting while driving. With that speech, Wright ended up placing � � h in her category.

And while public speaking may be horrifying to some, Wright loves it.

"I want to be a broadcast journalist," she said. "So it's pretty easy for me to get up and talk to people."

� e interview, on the other hand, is a di� erent story. Wright said she has a harder time talking one on one with a judge, especially without knowing what to expect.

"I never know what they're going to ask me, so I can't prepare," she said.

As far as future plans? It sounds like Wright knows what she wants.

"I'm very interested in Pepperdine University," she said. "Hopefully one day I will be on a national news show like Good Morning America or � e Today Show."

Wright said her family is her biggest support system, with her mom coming to all of her pageants to help her prepare.

"She's totally there, the entire time supporting me," she said. "I wouldn't be able to do it without her."

Only a sophomore in high school, Wright has some time to prepare for whatever lies ahead. For now, she is thankful for the opportunities she has been given and said she wants to enjoy her reign as Miss Washington Junior Teen.

Wright will continue to make appearances, deliver speeches and volunteer in the community until August when she travels back to the Miss Washington Junior Teen competi-tion to crown her successor. She is also the president of the National Charity League's Sammamish chapter, a member of her school's leadership program and will be starting lacrosse for the � rst time in February.

And if you want your tree to last, Serres said it’s important to follow certain instruc-tions.

“�e main thing on a tree is that as soon as it’s cut and as soon as you can, get it in water. It will start pulling water up right away, and it will stay green and fresh. Make sure you have it in a stand with water. If you leave it out even for a short period of time, it won’t pull water up. If you have a good tree and you handle it well, it will last from �anksgiving to Christmas – just don’t let it run out of water,” Serres said.

Dutro and Serres explained that many families attend the farms year a�er year because it becomes a family tradition. �ey

both said that attending a farm and cutting your own Christmas tree is a special holi-day experience.

Both farms are now open. Trinity Tree Farm is open from 10 a.m.

to 6 p.m. during the week and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekend. Santa will be at Trin-ity Free Farm for pictures from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 and Sunday, Dec. 15. Trinity Tree Farm is located at 14237 228th Ave. SE, Issaquah.

Serres Farm is open from 1-5:30 p.m. during the week and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the weekend. Serres Farm is located at 20306 NE 50th St., Redmond.

Liz Wilhelm has been selected as the project coordinator for the federal Drug Free Community grant awarded to the Issaquah Coalition and city of Issaquah in September.

� e grant, which will bring $125,000 per year for up to 10 years to the Issaquah School District service area, is aimed at reducing teen alcohol, marijuana and prescrip-tion drug abuse.

Hiring a local project coordinator to oversee a coalition work plan and funding expenditures is a requirement of the grant.

Wilhelm, an instructor at both the University of Wash-ington and Seattle Central Community College, previously served as project coordinator for a Drug Free Community grant in Kitsap County.

She authored Seattle Central’s prevention curriculum. She is a past-president and current board member of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Vio-lence Prevention, and a former board co-chair of the King County Community Organizing Program. She has profes-sional and personal ties to the greater Issaquah area.

“We are so excited to have someone of Liz’s caliber join-ing our team,” said Katie Moeller, chair of the Drug Free Community Coalition. “We think Liz is a good match for our community and will bring a highly professional level

of expertise to our planning and outreach processes.”� e Drug Free Community Coalition was initiated in

2011 as a standing sub-committee of the Issaquah Com-munity Network. � e coalition is composed of 12 sector representatives, including youths, parents, schools, busi-ness, media, civic organizations, faith-based organizations, the medical profession, law enforcement, organizations serving youth and local and government agencies involved in reducing drug abuse.

� e coalition has about 40 members representing all geographical areas of the Issaquah School District. In re-cent months, the coalition supported a King County board of health proposal to implement a countywide prescription drug take-back program, mobilized community support for re-location of the Issaquah Skate Park (a frequent site for drug activity) and sponsored a forum about the im-pacts of marijuana legalization on teens.

“I believe strongly that the community coalition process brings lasting, bene� cial change, Wilhelm said. “� e Drug Free Community Coalition is an energetic, inviting group committed to generating healthier neighborhoods for the families living, working, and visiting in the Issaquah School District. I am thrilled to be an active part of this momentum and to lend whatever expertise I can.”



The Overlake Alumnae Association fundraising luncheon at the Sahalee Country Club on Dec. 5 raised about $2,500 for high school scholarships.

“Money raised at the luncheon funds OAPH scholarships for qualified high school senior women who plan to attend colleges or universities with National Panhellenic Conference chapters. It’s always a fun event where you can enjoy good friends, good food and a good cause,” said Jean Cerar, an Overlake Alumnae member and past president.

A community-based group affiliated with the National Panhellenic Confer-ence, the Overlake Alumnae Association is composed of alumnae from group sororities and focuses on the develop-ment of young women from the Eastside. Their purpose is to inform sorority women of current trends, to promote the sorority system, to improve the Panhel-lenic image and to stimulate a continu-ing interest in Panhellenic affairs. This was their first year hosting the luncheon fundraiser at Sahalee.

“We had 91 reservations which in-

cluded Overlake Panhellenic members, other sorority alumnae and guests,” said Ellyn Sewell, Overlake Alumnae Panhel-lenic president.

Sewell said the event was a wonder-ful holiday and panhellenic sisterhood event, and Sahalee went the extra mile to make them feel welcome and provide a first class lunch.

“All in all, it was a very successful day,” Cerar said.

In May, the 2013 scholarship recipients were announced in an award ceremony at a local school. Nellie Hoehl from Issaquah High School, Stacey Hurwitz from Liberty High School and Katrina LaTurner from Eastlake High School were three of the recipients. Hoel is at-tending Samford University in Birming-ham, Ala., while Hurtwitz and LaTurner attend the University of Washington.

The application deadline for 2014 scholarships is April 2. Sewell said that high school senior girls who are consid-ering membership in a college sorority are encouraged to apply.

Overlake Alumnae Association will also sponsor a College Sorority Infor-mation Forum during the first week of March at the Bellevue Regional Library.

On Dec. 1, four incidents of mailbox theft were re-ported just north of Sammamish city limits. In all cases, the thieves targeted locations with multiple mailboxes. With similar targets scattered throughout Sammamish, local police are asking residents to help them fight back.

“These incidents seem to increase as the holidays ap-proach,” Sammamish Det. Bill Albright said.

A call to 911 is the quickest way to reach Sammamish Police and get them on the case. In a non-urgent situa-tion, though, residents may also call the police station at 425-295-0770.

Issaquah is No. 1 on real estate web site Movoto’s sur-vey of the top 10 cities in the state, not only for having one of the “cooler” names on its list, but also for scoring well in almost all of the website’s criteria.

Movoto looks at the “lighter side of real estate,” di-rected by self-proclaimed data nerd Chris Kolmar.

� e website states “Issaquah is one of the best cities in Washington when it comes to hiking — it’s just over two miles away from some of the best trails in the area. It also has a ton of seafood restaurants and co� ee shops per capita, making its overall rank in amenities pretty good. Of course, quantity doesn’t always mean quality,

but it looks like Issaquah enjoys a lot of both, if seafood places like Jak’s Grill are any indication.

“Folks in Issaquah also win when it comes to educa-tion, with a high school diploma attainment rate of 96 percent.”

Rounding out the top 10, in order, are Bellevue at No. 2, followed by Kirkland at No. 3, Mercer Island and Olympia tied at No. 4, Redmond at No. 6, Mukilteo at No. 7, Bellingham at No. 8, Seattle at No. 9 and Richland at No. 10.
