Breaking BarriersBY CELESTE [email protected]

Perhaps the hardest part of Megan Boss’ new intern-ship at Cafe 1910 is wring-

ing the towels. Her hands, buried beneath oversized rubber gloves, struggle to coordinate the move-ment.

Boss, who has William’s syn-drome, dreams of someday bus-ing tables at Red Robin. And so the 21-year-old has been practic-ing with the towels on weekends.

No matter how simple the task, work provides purpose in life, and students like Boss deserve the same opportunity to � nd that self worth, said Diana Gay, head of the Issaquah School District’s Academy for Community Transition.

For Boss, leaving public school means leaving a safety net that has directed

most of her life. ACT, which serves stu-dents with the most severe disabilities, has helped her build the skills she needs to transition into the community.

Graduation is dictated by age and Boss will leave the ACT program in a few months. But unlike the diplomas of high school ceremonies, she’s earned a resume

proving that she can restock sugar, wipe tables and greet guests.

ACT prepared her for independence, life without a classroom, or as she explained, “to always like this new place called life school.”

For 23 years now ISD has been giv-ing students like Boss an opportunity to transcend her disability and join the ranks of working citizens. For the students, there couldn’t be a greater gi� than the oppor-tunity to be an ordinary member of the community.

BUILDING A RESUMEAt a grocery store, four students lean in

around a carton of eggs nesting in Wendy Hennig’s hands. Fingering through the box, she explains how to check for broken ones.

Village � eatre was awarded a $25,000 grant that will be used for maintaining and improving the theatre’s Issaquah facilities.

Puget Sound Energy awarded the grant to the city of Issaquah, and requested that the funds be used to bene� t a local, non-pro� t agency. During its budget process late last year, the Issaquah City Council then enthusiastically selected the theater for the grant.

Village � eatre is working to upgrade and maintain its equipment and facili-ties to meet the organization’s expanding programs and needs, said spokesperson

Michelle Sanders. Sanders said the theater plans to improve the rehearsal room � oors, purchase new lighting and computer equipment, in addition to re-carpeting and re-painting certain areas inside its main theater.

“Since we own all of our buildings in Issaquah, we have quite a few maintenance needs and plans for upgrades on the to-do list,” she said.

Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger said sup-porting the arts locally is a part of the city’s long-term planning. “Not only do the arts enrich our lives, but they also nourish our local economy.”

An exchange of views on the issues facing Issaquah, Sammamish and the world beyond

WRITE TO USSend letters and correspondence to

[email protected]

There is a dangerous bill in the Legislature that threatens the public’s ability to keep an eye on government.

House Bill 2801 – that is being rushed through hearings – would allow local gov-ernments to stop publishing public notices in their local newspapers and, instead, simply put them on the Internet.

Local governments say they would save money doing this. They won’t and – worse – much of the public will be cut out of with fewer – rather than more – citizens know what their representatives are up to.

It’s a bad and potentially dangerous piece of legislation.The publishing of public notices in newspapers of record dates to 1789, when the fi rst Con-

gress required publication of its bills, orders, resolutions and votes in at least three generally available newspapers. The founders recognized that government should not be the gatekeep-ers of its own information. So their purpose was to require government to report its actions to citizens in a medium independent of government infl uence or control: the newspaper.

It was good policy then, and it remains good policy today.Publishing legal notices in a newspaper of record ensures that decisions related to pub-

lic debt, ordinances and laws, zoning, taxation and quality of life – all matters of compel-ling and perpetual public interest – are made with transparency.

Legal notices empower the public to get involved in the process. And they contribute to a reservoir of archived material in a form that cannot be altered, changed, hacked, hidden or ma-nipulated after the fact. This would simply not be true of notices published exclusively online.

In publishing public notices in newspapers of record, local government acknowledges that government itself carries the burden of keeping citizens informed, and that it will not shift that burden to the citizens themselves to go hunting for information.

To that end, the local, general-interest newspaper remains the vehicle with the widest reach to the widest cross-section of the community. And we can prove it.

The Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter is part of Sound Publishing, a company that reaches 700,000 Washington households through its print publications. Other newspapers around the state also maintain commensurately broad distribution within their own com-munities.

This is not “theoretical” reach, a “potential” audience that may or may not fi nd its way to notices posted on a government website. This is actual reach, to readers who are active and interested and engaged in the community around them – and most certainly in local government affairs.

We should remember that not all citizens have computers, or smartphones, and not all have access to the web. Indeed, there are cost barriers to entry into, and participation in, today’s world of digital communication.

But anyone – everyone – can at any time go down to the public library or the coffee shop, pick up the community newspaper and fi nd out through the public notices what their govern-ment is up to. Affordable, egalitarian and very popular, general interest newspapers provide precisely what government needs most – a direct and demonstrable conduit to its citizens.

This issue really comes down to a philosophical question: Should government take its information to the people, or should government make the people come looking for that information, through a maze of agency and departmental websites?

We believe – and we are confi dent Washington citizens agree – that government at ALL levels has an affi rmative obligation to take its information to the people – to make that extra ef-fort, to ensure that public notices are not just “available,” but also widely seen and widely read.

House Bill 2801 fl outs that obligation, and it should be rejected. The Legislature had the wisdom to dismiss similar legislation last session, and we trust it will demonstrate that same wisdom again.

MEATLESS? OF COURSEI had to laugh when I saw the recent

PCC article/ad suggesting “Meatless Mondays.”

We are “meatless” all the time! Why? Because meat is unhealthy, uneconomi-cal, and un-environmental. “Meatless Mondays,” indeed.

LB Sandy Rock, MD, MPH, Issaquah

THE RIGHT CALLThe U.S. House of Representatives

recently passed a bill that would open up to two million acres of western public land for oil shale.

For over a century, industry has tried to produce commercial oil from shale with no success, but those research projects have ruined air, water, and land resourc-es. But there’s no oil in oil shale – it’s a rock.

Ironically, some in Congress want to fund repairs to our crumbling transporta-tion infrastructure with oil shale revenue, but the nonpartisan Congressional Bud-get Offi ce said the oil shale provisions would generate ZERO revenue between 2012 and 2022.

I applaud Congressman Dave Reichert for taking a stand for our quality of life in the West by voting against the bill and for an amendment that would have stripped provisions for oil shale speculation.

While oil shale deposits aren’t in Washington state, as a taxpayer I do not want to subsidize an unproven technol-ogy that opens up our public lands to development. Should commercial oil shale ever be achieved, it could produce

23 to 73 percent more global warming pollution than conventional oil.

I am disappointed that Congress passed this bill, but I am grateful to Rep. Reichert for continuing to make the right choices for our land, climate, and economy.

Loretta Jancoski, Ph.D., Issaquah

ISSAQUAH’S FUTUREI am interested in the Central Issaquah

Plan and realize that it is a complex, long term planning effort. Even so I am concerned that the decisions that we make now are going to impact my quality of life. Is this density of development appropriate for Issaquah?

More specifi cally:The cost of roads, parks, schools,

maintenance and many other items is very high. The current residents should not be shouldering this burden. How this the plan going to prevent the cost burden from shifting to my shoulders?

I am afraid that Issaquah will lose its identity in this push for economic vitality. We don’t need to be Bellevue. We need to be a better Issaquah. Please focus on what makes Issaquah a wonderful place now, then improve it.

Frankly I wonder if the market is for all of this development? It certainly isn’t here now. Where is the part of the plan that looks at what is going to happen in the interim? Please dial it back and keep it real.

I live, work and play in Issaquah because I like it. I want a say in how it grows, yet this plan edits me out of the process. Please include me in the deci-sions happening in my own town.

Although the state doesn’t require a new Environmental Critical Areas update until 2015, the Sammamish Plan-ning Commission would like to get it done by the end of the year.

You would never know it by the glacial pace of the commission’s Feb. 16 meeting, which was basically two hours of setting the ground rules.

The good news is, the city has hired a consultant to provide the commission with best available science, since the un-derlying goal of a new ECA is to protect the environment.

The City Council authorized the city manager to enter into a contract with AMEC Environment and Infrastructure, Inc., for $77,000 plus a $20,000 con-tingency. The ECA looks at wetlands, streams, erosion hazards, landslide areas, seismic hazard areas, steep slopes and wildlife corridors.

AMEC was selected by city staff and

two community members, according to planning commission chair Joe Lipinsky.

Speaking on behalf of Citizens for Sammamish at the Feb. 16 meeting, Bob Sorensen noted that nearly half of the land area of Sammamish is encumbered by some critical areas.

The planning commission had many concerns. One is that the fact-gathering process might drive them in a direction they don’t anticipate. Another concern was including the public as much as possible, and remaining accessible and transparent throughout the entire pro-cedure.

Commissioner Mahbubul Islam said transparency should be a goal, as should fairness.

The commission’s ultimate goal is to present their statement of facts pertinent to the ECA to the City Council when they are done, with no surprises.

Commissioner Michael Luxenberg said if they present accurate data, there should be no need to go back to the drawing board.

Lipinsky said to expect much longer meetings. The commission meets every first and third Thursdays and the public can also request updates by e-mail by visiting www.ci.sammamish.wa.us.

Eastside Fire & Rescue loses long-time volunteer

A long-time volunteer battalion chief who served at District 10 fire stations for 33 years has died.

Eastside Fire and Rescue remembers John Waltosz for all the young volun-teers he recruited and trained to help respond to emergency fire and medical calls in District 10.

His leadership, devotion of service and selflessness were formally recog-nized by EFR in 2007, when its board passed a resolution of gratitude.

He was a mentor to many and his

determination and professional attitude inspired a generation of well-rounded career and volun-teer firefighters. said EFR Fire Chief Lee Soptich. “John will be missed for his devotion to his

family, his neighbors and community service.”

The Volunteer Battalion Chief John Waltosz Inspiration Award was estab-lished in his honor.

The feeling never grows old for Jacques Gauron.

Whenever the life-long Issaquah resident watches a jetliner hum through the Pacific Northwest skies, he can pridefully look up and say he had a part in it — thousands of parts.

“Thinking we’re here in Issaquah, Wash-ington and shipping stuff all over the world, it’s pretty cool,” said Gauron, who along with brother Andre, runs Marketing Masters, Inc. — a designer and manufacturer of com-posite inserts and clip nuts found in every Boeing and Airbus plane on the planet.

The company, which father Richard founded in 1976 as an aerospace marketing agency, was recognized by the chamber of commerce Feb. 22, as the Innovation in Issaquah winner for a large business.

While recogni-tion is appreciated, Jacques admits there is a certain anonymity Market-ing Masters likes to maintain. Hidden at the far end of Gilman Boule-vard behind wafts of Burger King’s charbroiled smoke, the 16-employee company doesn’t advertise. There’s no need.

“We’re not trying to rock the boat,” said

Jacques, of awakening billion-dollar manu-factures around the world.

Marketing Masters is one of roughly 12 companies worldwide to manufacture prod-ucts with a unique composite material called Torlon. They are the only one to produce clip nuts and inserts, pumping out more than 15 million parts a year.

Richard first stumbled across the resin when he was promoting it for a chemi-cal company. The salesman, who had also dabbled in manufacturing clips and fasteners, bought an injection molding machine in 1984 and started experimenting with Torlon. See-ing enormous potential, he pulled his sons in on the project.

“We bought a molding machine and literally he threw the book on the table and said figure out how to mold this stuff,” said

Jacques, noting it took years of learn-ing on the job to get the processing just right.

Persistence paid off.

In 1992, Market-ing Masters struck its first big contract with McDonnell Douglas. After that, more and more companies became interested in the composite fasteners and inserts.

Created as a replacement for titanium, Torlon eliminates scratch-ing and corrosion

associated with metals. It can also withstand temperatures of 500 degrees, is lighter in

weight and is generally cheaper than titani-um. It takes two weeks for Marketing Masters to create a single fastener, melting the resin, shaping it, then baking it at 700 degrees.

The parts are now the standard within all jetliners and are used in securing the floor-boards, walls and other portions of a plane’s interior. A standard Boeing 737 has approxi-mately 10,000 of Marketing Masters’ parts in them. An Airbus A380 has 60,000 fasteners and inserts.

The parts aren’t limited to jetliners. They can be found in satellites, trains, motor-homes and more. A firetruck company in Wisconsin is currently experimenting with using the parts.

With a 7-year backlog of work with Boeing and several other strong contracts, business continues to boom domestically for Marketing Masters. The Issaquah-based business is even ready to take their product international — something they take great

pride in. “The Chinese are building a new aircraft

... they’re buying our stuff now,” Jacques said. “Finally, they can read ‘Made in the USA’ for a while.’”

Matthew Bott, the CEO at the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, was among 33 chamber executives to graduate this February from Academy, a professional development program presented by the Western Association of Chamber Executives.

Academy is an interactive training program on cham-ber management essentials. The program provides training on association management, economic development fundamen-tals and best practices in membership marketing, social media and strategic leadership.

“We congratulate all of the graduates and their chambers for having the vision to invest in profes-sional development,” said WACE president Dave Kilby.

During the three-year Academy program, graduates participated in 18 three-hour classes and successfully completed ad-ditional independent study outside of the classroom.

The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce has grown by over 25 percent since 2009 and now has 520 members representing over 50,000 employees in Is-saquah and on the Eastside.

Her pupils, some whom have Down syndrome, ponder on her words a minute, before herding the grocery cart toward the milk aisle.

Together they find all the ingredients to make French toast, part of a cooking unit. But the most important lessons for the stu-dents come by being out in the community.

Hennig makes sure they’re mindful of cars in the parking lot, teaches them to be courteous to other customers and shows them how to navigate the store.

The goal isn’t to just to make the students comfortable in the community but the community comfortable with them, Gay said. “We definitely need the non-disabled population to embrace our people as func-tioning normal folks.”

By the end of the year, grocery store trips will elevate to jaunts into Se-attle. While community skills are perhaps the most fun for students – especially when they learn to order their own cheeseburgers – the heart of the program is its internships.

In the ACT classroom at Tiger Mountain High School, Boss presses her fingers into the pages of her binder, a resume of sorts, and hums through the catalog of experi-ences: wiping tables, restocking shelves and riding a bus.

Her resume makes her more interesting to employers, Gay said.

All of her students work internships three days a week. What dif-ferentiates them is how much assistance they receive, she said.

Hennig, a career specialist who once did sales, focuses her time on pitching her students to local businesses. They may not find work through the pitches, which is King County’s responsibility, but they will get training. As a result, about 75 percent of ACT graduates will go on to work at least part-time jobs.

As Hennig drove the school’s van, she shouted over her shoulder, “You guys are all going to have jobs when you leave here, right?”

Stephan Daghofer’s eyes lit up, “Yea!” he shouted with clapping.

“I figure what I’m now ‘selling’ is these wonderful students,” she said.

a wave of researchGay was working in Arizona as a special

education high school teacher when she saw a jobs posting for what would become ACT.

The new program was groundbreaking, she said. “We were actually encouraged to think of our students as individuals who could work in the community on their own.”

Before ACT, students often hung around high school classes until they turned 21. Gay started with six students and one edu-cational assistant. The program is now four times that size.

ACT came on the front wave of research that started in the 1970s. By the ‘80s, graduate students from the University of Oregon were proving that not only could people with disabilities learn, but that paid work would give them a higher sense of self worth.

Issaquah started its program four years before it was mandated by law.

Work programs, called sheltered work-shops, were already in place when the research came out. Gay even took a job at one when she first graduated from Western

Washington University.“I wanted to be a helper,” Gay said. “They

had such great potential, and it was fun to help them realize that.”

However, the sheltered workshops weren’t enough. They didn’t allow people with disabilities to be out in the commu-nity, and it paid pennies for their labor, she said.

The ACT program didn’t just challenge how teachers thought about their students, but how Issaquah thought about those with disabilities.

“The community wasn’t ready for them,” Gay said.

The public schools had just started integrating people with disabilities into the regular classes. Many adults had never seen someone with Down syndrome before.

“They had to be shown what our folks were capable of,” she said.

Once the barriers started coming down, Issaquah turned out to be an accepting community. The work has paid off, she said.

“It’s just fabulous to run into someone you graduated 8 years ago, and they’re still working at the job they had when they left school.”

BY JOSH SUMANISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Months before winning its third 4A state title in the past four years, the Skyline football team was already laying the foundation for another championship run.

Like other programs around the state, the Spartans spent eight days in pads during the spring practice period before heading to a team camp at the University of Puget Sound where they would take part in controlled scrimmages.

“We’ve got to work on that chemistry on o� ense and defense,” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said. “Without pads on, it’s just not the same.”

If the Everett School District gets its way, Skyline and others around the state will be forced to adjust to some serious changes.

Middle School/High School Amendment Six would limit the usage of football helmets and shoul-der pads to the designated WIAA season, fall.

School districts would be allowed to authorize the use of facilities and other school owned equip-ment, with the exception of football helmets and shoulder pads.

“School uniforms, football helmets and shoulder pads may be worn only during the WIAA season for that sport except during Wash-ington State Coaches Association feeder or all state contests,” reads Part ‘A’ of the amendment.

� e ‘pros’, as listed in the docu-ment prepared for the WIAA, con-tend it would decrease the number of hits student-athletes would take in a season (and help avoid concus-sions.)

Jackson High School’s Athletic Director Robert Polk proposed

amendements � ve and six, and then got the needed support from schools to move the discussion forward.

Polk said the main motivation behind his proposal was safety and limiting the number of hits football players take throughout the year.

“We’re hearing more and more about concussions in the sport of football and other sports,” he said.

WesCo coaches discussed the issue at the league’s post-season meeting and it received what he termed “mediocre” sup-port.

With that in mind, Polk cra� ed the amendments to create a level playing � eld for football programs across the state and ensure coaches that taking steps to reduce contact would not be punished with a competitive disadvantage.

“I sometimes believe coaches will respond one way around their peers but behind closed doors, will have a di� erent opinion,” Polk said. “� eir biggest fear is they don’t want to get le� behind what other schools are doing.”

� e only listing under the “Cons” is: “Athletes may not be prepared to the same extent as in years past, but all teams would have the same amount of time for conditioning and preparation.”

But coaches from around the area believe the detriments of the

amendment would run far deeper. Taylor believes the amendments

are well-intentioned but would come with consequences that could hurt student-athletes’ chances at be-ing recruited and may actually lead to more injuries.

“I understand that maybe we need to limit the amount of days we do in the o� season,” he said. “But that needs to be equitable across all sports and you can’t use

football equipment as a way to do it.”

Taylor added that even if every football program in the state is on a level playing � eld because of the rule change, that would not be the case when considering out-of-state games, of which his team will play two in 2012.

Dan Teeter, head coach at 2A Lake-wood High School near Arlington, dra� ed a petition he plans to present as evidence that coaches

around the state are largely op-posed to Amendment Six.

Teeter said he had approximately 170 signatures when he spoke with the � e Reporter less than 24 hours a� er putting it online.

Another factor Taylor and Teeter cited was that helmets and shoulder pads do not always equate to full or even partial contact drills.

During the annual Lakewood passing tournament, players wear helmets and shoulder pads primar-ily to avoid unintended head-to-head contact with other players, not create it.

“It will actually have a negative

impact where it will create more safety hazards,” Teeter said. “If a kids is running full speed going for a ball, there is a safety factor.”

Each of the 11 high school foot-ball programs in Bellevue, Issaquah and Sammamish wore helmets and shoulder pads for their spring practices and most had players which attended summer camps. � ose camps are crucial to student-athletes hoping to be recruited and for many, the only other option would be to purchase pads out of pocket to use in those events.

Players like Skyline signal caller Max Browne has every scouting service and talent evaluator follow-ing their every move, but student-athletes hoping to land at an FCS, Division II, Division III or NAIA school have their best chance to be seen during the team attended camps.

“� ey (coaches at camp hosting colleges) have a chance to evalu-ate our kids and it’s not the same without seeing them take contact,” Teeter said.

A quick online search yields waves of certi� ed helmets, shoulder pads and every other piece of equipment necessary to out� t a football player at $600.

“It could create a disparity between the haves and have nots,” Teeter said.

Teeter’s fears are something Polk had admittedly not considered and adds to a list of potential complica-tions that may require reworking the language of the amendment.

“� ere’s a lot of grey area and angles and that is one I had not thought about,” Polk said. “I realize putting this out there it might not be perfect and conversation will need to take place.”

No helmets in the o� -season?

BY JOAN NEWMANSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

It’s not just in school that people learn Issaquah history.

In an average year, more than 5,300 people from all over Wash-ington and as far away as Iceland, South Africa, Asia and Australia visit the Issaquah History Muse-ums.

Out-of-towners ask about local names like Issaquah, Gilman and Squak. Relatives of old Issaquah families ask about their geneal-ogy. Newcomers and day-trippers most frequently ask, “When did people � rst come here? What did they used to do here? Where were the coal mines? Where did the railroad go? Can we ride a train here?”

Here are some brief answers:“Issaquah” comes from the

word meaning “the sound of water birds” in the language of the Lushootseed people, who included the Sammamish, Sno-qualmie, Duwamish and other area tribes. “Squak Valley,” the early settlers’ name for this area, was based on the same Lushoot-seed word, as is Squak Moun-tain, which rises west of the � sh hatchery.

In 1892 the town of Gil-man, and therefore the Gilman Town Hall, was named a� er Daniel Hunt Gilman, who was instrumental in bringing the

railroad here. Confusion with another Washington town named “Gilmer” caused the town to peti-tion the legislature to change the name to Issaquah in 1899.

� e Sammamish band of the Duwamish, the Snoqualmies and other Native Americans were here long before white settlers � rst came to the valley in the 1860s and 1870s.

In addition to household farm-ing, early settlers raised hops for Seattle breweries. When the railroad reached town in 1888, and coal found here could be shipped to Seattle pro� tably, min-

ers � ocked to the area from many parts of the U.S. and the world, as did loggers of the big trees and local business people. Dairy farm-ing later became a major industry.

� e largest coal mines were Grand Ridge, at the southern end of the Sammamish Plateau, and the Issaquah and Superior mine on Squak Mountain. Smaller mines were the Bianco Queen and Harris mines along what is now Highway 900, and the Caroline mine on Tiger Mountain. “Mom and Pop” mines were active around the area into the 1960s.

� e Seattle, Lake Shore and

Eastern Railway was incorporated in 1885 by a group of Seattle investors, but went into receiver-ship by 1896 and was bought out by Northern Paci� c Railway in 1898. It was headquartered in Seattle, ran around the north end of both Lakes Washington and Sammamish, south to Issaquah, then east to Salal Prairie just past North Bend.

� e nearest tourist ride on the old line today is at the Northwest Railway Museum in the town of Snoqualmie. Closer to home, the Issaquah Valley Trolley project is moving forward. � e track has been � xed from the Depot to Darigold and the trolley car is going to Ida Grove, Iowa, for renovation. It is due back later in the year, ready to go, powered by a generator pulled behind the car.

Younger visitors to the muse-ums have a special set of ques-tions. Some try working the wheels next to the doors into the caboose and the Army car at the Depot, asking, “Is this the way they steered?” Answer: No, you can’t steer a railroad car. � e wheel is a manual brake, in case the car becomes separated from the train or engine when moving.

“Where was the bathroom?” kids ask at the caboose and at the old jail behind the Gilman Town Hall. � at answer must be explained on site.

Some want to explore complex

questions like, “When did timber companies start ‘clearcutting?’” or “When did the state begin sup-porting schools here?” Answers can be found in IHM materials.

However, the information � ow is not all one-way. People’s memo-ries are o� en triggered by their visits and they contribute special knowledge. For example, former telegraphers and other users of Morse Code, as showcased at the Depot, explain how they learned to understand messages. “We didn’t hear individual letters or words,” said one, “but we would recognize patterns in the dots and dashes.”

Studying one exhibit at the Gil-man Town Hall, people have told about jumping out of gliders for sport and novices who broke heels and ankles when landing at the former Skyport. Pickering Place is there today. Another visitor told about racing his friends along old logging roads on Vaughn’s Hill in a ‘39 Chevy with “free wheeling,” a kind of overdrive, in the 1950s.

� ese are only a few of the questions and answers about Issaquah history that intrigue visitors – and those who visit with them.

Issaquah’s Park Board moved along a study that would improve mountain biking in the city, but not without hesitancy.

Of the Issaquah Mountain Bike Task Force’s � ve recommendations, it only wholly supported one – build-ing a small skills park in the Issaquah Highlands.

On the whole, it’s still a win for mountain bikers in the city, said Paul Winterstein, a city councilmember who also worked on the report. “� e outcomes that we wanted are very much still possible.”

� e goal of the task force was to make a formal recommendation on

whether to build the skills park and to � gure out ways to improve mountain biking in the community.

So one major focus was where to connect the city to regional trails. � ose possible new trail locations came under the heaviest criticism, because they either snaked through private property or cut through con-servation land.

However, the discussion on connec-tor trails is just beginning.

About a month ago, the state’s Department of Natural Resources began creating a recreation plan that would focus on connecting di� erent trails along the Snoqualmie corridor and throughout the Raging River forest, which is just east of Tiger Mountain.

� e fact that Issaquah has already begun to discuss ways to join that DNR land is exciting, Winterstein said. “� is higher level of visibility is all a good thing.”

� e bike report itself moved to the mayor untouched, but an at-tached memo discussed the merits of its major points, applauding some ideas, such as improved signage, but dismissing others, such as a new trails commission.

Mayor Ava Frisinger will now have to decide whether to pass the report onto City Council and if to change it before she does.

Issaquah Reporter Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext.

5052.

Issaquah is hoping to recover $380,000 from the federal government after it shelled out a half million dollars to manage the mid-January snowstorm.

The decision hangs on whether or not President Barack Obama declares the winter event as a na-tional disaster. The Federal Emergency Management Agency expects to present the proposal in the next few weeks.

Washington state could also pitch in another 12.5 percent of the loss, but with state’s budget woes, there isn’t a certainty the city will get that kind of support.

Issaquah residents lost power twice during the storm, which began Jan. 15. The � rst time was after freezing rain sent trees toppling down on all of Is-saquah’s main transmission lines.

Road crews bounced around the city clearing the mess, while public works crews sta� ed 24 hour shifts to keep the snow plows running.

In the aftermath, the city hosted three woody debris collection days, and hauled o� over 300 tons of fallen trees.

By KEVIN ENDEJAN AND CELESTE [email protected]

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

A Sammamish man armed himself with a shot-gun and attempted to chase down whoever vandalized his home and truck on Feb. 15. When police arrived, they ordered the homeown-er in the 700 block of 218 Avenue Southeast to put his gun down, which he did.

He told police that someone threw a softball sized rock through the window in his den. He didn’t see anyone, but thought it was two males he confronted earlier. He said he saw two men, in their 30s, were pushing a wheelbarrow down the road. It was full of fertilizer and had a bicycle on the top. The homeowner was under the impression they stole the items and he con-

fronted them. He believes the vandalism was an act of retaliation.

Wrong garage

Police found a man working on the exhaust of his car in the Highlands Parking garage Feb. 20.

The officer explained that the garage wasn’t meant to be a space to do car work, and asked the man to pack up his tools and leave.

Secret foundSammamish police drove

up a dirt road the morn-

ing of Feb. 20, to discover a bonfire still burning and an area littered with beer cans. Neighbors in the 19000 block of Northeast 39th Street became suspicious when unknown people in trucks were driving on the property south of them — a location with a foreclosure and an empty lot. Police suspect teens were in the area drinking and it will continue to be a hot spot unless monitored.

Too much boozePolice decided to talk to

some bartenders on Sunset Way in Issaquah, after seeing three people falling over drunk behind a tavern Feb. 19.

The area frequently has bar hoppers.

Home no moreA Sammamish woman

called police Feb. 12 after finding an unknown man in her backyard. The trespasser, who formerly lived at the home in the 2400 block of Northeast 27th Place, was known to have schizophrenia and to have caused severe damage to the home when he lived there.

As the homeowner

drove up to her house, the man asked her if someone currently lived there. She said she didn’t know and was from out of the area. When the man entered her backyard, she called police, who removed him from the property. The suspect told police he believed the house was going to the President of the United States.

Who’s the perjurer? An obviously angry

man visited the Issaquah police station to insist that the police in the station be investigated for perjury. The officer recognized the man from a prior incident where he filed a notice about his intent to sue the city.

The man was also ad-vised then that he had been charged with assault by the city prosecutor Feb. 17.

High FivePolice gave a warning

to a male who was trying to get people driving by to give him a high five Feb. 19, near West Lake Samma-mish in Issaquah.
