The Reard/Freed House mayfinally find a home in whatcould be some sort of heritage-themed park in the heart ofSammamish.

At the Oct. 11 City Councilstudy session, Parks DirectorJessi Richardson presented thecouncil with some rough sketch-es of how a parcel of the Pigottproperty, slated to be gifted tothe city for use as a park in thenext five or so years, could lookwith the Freed/Reard Houseplaced on the grounds.

Samm-amishHeritageSociety mem-bers, whohave gatheredmore than$34,000 inpledges andcash dona-tions to gotowards saving the 115-year-oldfarmhouse, want to put thehome near two other old build-ings surrounding a meadow onthe property, located on 220thAvenue just north of Southeast

20th Street.Exactly

how the homewould be usedremains to beseen, butRichardson,heritage soci-ety membersand support-ive council

members discussed the possibili-ty of the property becoming a“heritage park” where schoolchildren could come to learnabout life as a homesteader atthe turn of the century. Others

suggested the house could berented out for community meet-ings and other events.

“We don’t have another parkin the city that lends itself tothis kind of thing,” Richardsonsaid. “I’ll be the first to admitthat I was not pleased with theidea of putting (the Freed/ReardHouse) at Lower CommonsPark. It didn’t seem like a suit-able fit. This seems like a suit-able fit. Personally, I believe inthis project.”

Initial traffic counts fromSoutheast 32nd Street near wherethe controversial barricade oncestood show that the road hasmuch less traffic than wasexpected at lower-than-averagespeeds.

But Public Works DirectorLaura Philpot suggested the CityCouncil wait for traffic patternsto reach equilibrium before look-ing at additional road improve-ments or moving onto the nextbarricade in question – onNortheast 42nd Street betweenthe Hidden Ridge and Timberlineneighborhoods.

She also cautioned that thecurrent traffic counts are unoffi-cial, having been taken from a“speed trailer” that reads and dis-plays a vehicle’s speed, flashing ifthey are going over the speedlimit.

The city is planning more offi-cial traffic counts on streets allaround the neighborhood in thecoming weeks that will be moreuseful in determining whetherthe area needs more in the wayof sidewalks and traffic calmingmeasures.

But Philpot said the data,though preliminary, indicates the$350,000 worth of sidewalks, traf-fic circles, curb extensions andchicanes the council approved onthe road have succeeded in pre-venting drivers from using theroad as a major thoroughfare.

Presented at the 124th annual convention of Washington Newspaper Publishers:

language on two different leases.One would give the heritage soci-ety control over the home, whichthe group needs in order to applyfor thousands of dollars of grantmoney for the project. The sec-ond would be between the cityand Mary Pigott for the land,which would allow the home tobe placed on the property beforethe land is officially deeded tothe city.

Pigott has gifted a total of 51acres north of Pine Lake to thecity, but the land will be parceled

out over several years. One por-tion of her property will likelyopen to the public this fall, butthat is not the area envisioned forthe house.

Complicating the issue further,getting the home moved hastaken on a sense of urgency. Theprivate developer who owns theland on which the house current-ly sits wants to move forwardwith development plans and hasgiven the city until next spring tohave the home moved,Richardson said.

Though there were calls formore details, many on the coun-cil gave cautious support for theidea. Councilman John Jamesnoted that he was a skeptic of the

project when he first got on thecouncil, but said he wasimpressed with the heritage soci-ety’s fundraising efforts and theheritage park plan.

“This was a house looking fora home,” he said. “Commons wasnot the right spot for it, but withthe generous gift of Mary Pigott,it looks like it’s found a home …This is a place that people couldgo and see the history of whatthe area used to be like.”

But the idea of city moneygoing towards the moving orremodeling of the home contin-ued to be a sticking point forsome. The council earmarked$70,000 in the 2011-2012 budgetfor the home. At the time, several

council members stated they didnot foresee giving the money outunless it was to match privatedonations raised by the heritagesociety. Richardson reminded thecouncil at the Oct. 11 meetingthat they had not formally agreedto any conditions for dispensingthe money.

The heritage society estimatesthat they need about $37,000more in order to hit the $71,000necessary for moving the house,giving it a new foundation anddoing necessary exterior repairsto make the building structurallysound. Heritage society memberMary Moore said the groupbelieves it would cost about$230,000 more for interiorremodels tomake thehome useable,though muchof thatincludes workthat could bedone by localvolunteers.

Moorelamented thatthe organiza-tion has volun-teered hoursupon hours of its time to salvagea city-owned building but onlyhad tepid support from the coun-cil.

“I don’t know where we standnext to other organizations thatare fully supported by their citygovernment and don’t have toworry about standing up anddefending themselves all thetime,” she said.

Deputy Mayor Tom Odell, whorepeatedly tried to take theReard/Freed House money out ofthe city’s budget last year,remained strongly opposed toany taxpayer money going to theproject, saying private donationsshould drive the project.

“I strongly believe this is notsomething the city should bespending its money on,” he said.“If the heritage of this house is soimportant to the community,there are people that could stepforward and come up with

$37,000.”Odell also took issue with the

lack of a business plan for thehome – something he had calledfor during previous debates overthe building’s future.

Richardson said it would bepremature to talk about how thebuilding would be managed out-side of the master plan process,which is slated to begin earlynext year.

“I have grave reservationsabout adopting a business planfor a property being placed on apark that we don’t even own yet,”she said.

Councilwoman Michele Petitti,a long-time proponent of thehome, encouraged the rest of the

council to getbehind the her-itage park planand releasesome of its bud-geted money sothat the housecan get movedsooner ratherthan later. Shesuggested mak-ing theHeritageSociety an offi-

cial advisory board for the city,like the arts or parks commis-sion.

Petitti also noted that thecouncil had heard from FinanceDirector Joe Guinasso earlier inthe meeting that the city’s gener-al fund is expected to come inabout $2 million under budget atthe end of the year.

“And here we are talking about$37,000,” she said. “It almostseems nonsense to me that wecan’t embrace this … It’s time forus to march forward and beproud about this.”

The council is scheduled toconsider the leases for the build-ing and the Pigott land at theirNov. 14 meeting.

Rated “VERY GOOD” by non-partisan Municipal League of King County, 2009

“We’re still growing, even in this tough economy.We need a committed, effective, and thoughtful City Council.”

“Tom has proven his good judgment, his willingness to listen, and his commitment to the long range challenges and opportunities facing Sammamish.” Mark Cross

restricted the left turn onto(228th Avenue),” Philpot said atthe Oct. 4 City Council meeting.

The decision to restrict left-turns out of Southeast 32nd onto228th may also account for signif-icantly lower traffic counts thanwere originally expected.

The city had projected that alittle fewer than 1,700 cars a daywould use the road by 2016 if thebarricade were taken out, butalso assumed that northbounddrivers would be able to make aleft turn onto the major arterial.Without that option, the road hasseen less than a quarter of theexpected traffic – an average of392 cars a day.

Speeds also appear to be slow-er than on the average residentialstreet. According to city data, 85percent of drivers have beendriving between 28 mph or slow-er on the 25 mph road.

Philpot noted that there areseveral similar streets around the

city where that number is closerto 35 mph.

“If all of our roads werebetween 25 and 28 I’d be ecstat-ic,” she said. “That would beunheard of.”

Though many neighbors arehappy with the road improve-ments that came after the barri-cade came down, the project isnot without its detractors.

Several homeowners on thewest side of the barricade’s for-mer location, in particular, haveargued that the city didn’t doenough to slow traffic in front oftheir homes.

The city regraded andrestriped the road to specify thatthe shoulder belongs to pedestri-ans and installed stop signs, turn-ing the intersection of 220thAvenue, 219th Place and 33rdPlace into a three-way stop.

Cathy Bart, who lives just westof where the barricade used tobe, wrote in an email to the coun-cil that she believes this currentbatch of traffic data is skewedbecause it was taken near thelarge hill in the road and becauseSammamish Police were in the

area doingspeed patrolswhile the read-ings were goingon.

She rejectedthe idea thatthe issue is fin-ished justbecause of lowtraffic counts.

“Whateverhappened to‘respecting thecharacter andintegrity ofexisting neigh-borhoods,’” shewrote. “Statingthat the project-ed volumesdon’t exceedthose of similarstreets or thestreet is not asbad as other 25mph streets(does not ade-

quately address) these concerns.”When they agreed to the miti-

gation plan for the road in March,several council members lament-ed that more had not been done

for residents west of the barri-cade and vowed to look at addingsidewalks or other trafficimprovements in the future.Councilman John James echoedthis sentiment at the Oct. 4 meet-ing.

“Regardless of the clockedspeeds, we made a major changeto this road,” James said. “To givepeople some piece of mind …(speed bumps, traffic circles orstop signs) might be worth con-sidering.”

Philpot said in an interviewthat the council had committedmost of its 2012 roads money torefurbish Inglewood Hill Road,but said the west side of the bar-ricade will “be in the mix alongwith other potential projectsaround the city” when the coun-cil puts together its 2013-2014budget.

Bob McCoy, who lives nearthe new three-way stop west ofthe barricade and was in favor ofit coming down, said he waspleased overall with the roadimprovements, noting that thenew striping makes him feelsafer as a pedestrian and saidhe’s noticed fewer people rolling

through the stop signs by hishouse.

He said the idea of sidewalksin the area was nice, but probablyoverkill.

“I don’t think that’s totally nec-essary for people’s safety,” hesaid. “There’s probably otherareas of the city that could betterbenefit from those dollars.

Councilman Mark Cross wasalso pleased with the initial num-bers and was skeptical that thecity should sink more moneyinto the roadway if speeding was-n’t proving to be a problem.

“The expectation shouldn’t bethat we have the slowest stretchof 25 miles per hour road in thecity, it should be that it behaveslike other 25 miles per hourstretches in the city,” he said. “Idon’t think we’ve designed some-thing that invites high speeds.The levels and traffic volumesare much less than what peopleworried about.”

Sammamish Forum

OPINIONReview editorialOur recommendationsfor City Council

Sammamish is blessed with a number of activecitizens who want to be a part of the city. All threeCity Council races this year are contested, not some-thing every city on the Eastside can say. All the can-didates are to be commended for spending theirtime and energy attempting to win the ultimate vol-unteer job.

When deciding which candidates to endorse, theReview considers a number of factors. We like to seecandidates who’ve put in time in the community,who have a strong grasp of all of the issues facingthe City Council, and who have real, sensible butcreative solutions.

Position 2 — Nancy Whitten. IncumbentWhitten is always willing to ask questions. Yes,sometimes those questions make meetings drag on,but her job is to think about issues and make surethe city is heading in the right direction, not sit qui-etly when she doesn’t agree. She raises issues thatmay otherwise go unnoticed. We’re impressed bychallenger Kathy Richardson, who is smart and hasspent time as a Planning Commissioner learninghow the city operates, but she has not demonstrateda grasp of issues outside land use strongly enough tojustify replacing Whitten.

Position 4 — Ramiro Valderrama. We haven’talways agreed with Valderrama, but his passion forSammamish is undeniable. He is one of the drivingforces behind a group of citizen activists, has studiedall of the major issues facing the city, and has beeninvolved on the sidelines for years. Challenger JimWasnick could become a good council member, andhas certainly started becoming active in civic lifearound Sammamish, but Valderrama has the edgeon experience. After a bit more time learning the insand outs of city government, Wasnick could becomea more desirable candidate.

Position 6 — Tom Vance. Vance served as chair-man of the Planning Commission before running forthe council two years ago. He has thoughtful, specif-ic answers to questions about nearly everything theCity Council is likely to face in the next few years.Opponent Jesse Bornfreund has come out ofnowhere and has not demonstrated a command ofthe issues.

Support for Richardson

When Councilwoman MichelePetitti decided not to run for re-elec-tion for City Council Position 2,Kathy Richardson stepped up andanswered the call to run. Aroundthat same time, multiple candidateshad filed for a different City Councilseat, Position 4, to specifically chal-lenge Councilwoman NancyWhitten.

Instead of taking on the chal-lengers Whitten is abandoning herseat, running away from her politi-cal opposition, fleeing over toPosition 2 to oppose KathyRichardson, the only other womanrunning for City Council.

I don’t think Petitti had Whittenin mind when she announced shewas stepping aside to let someoneelse take the reins.

What compelled Whitten, a sittingcouncil member, to quit her positionand run for another? Was Whittenafraid of the candidates runningagainst her? Does Whitten hateRichardson so much that she wasjust compelled to run againstRichardson? Does Whitten have analpha female complex?

This is just strange behavior onWhitten’s part, a candidate claimingto be an incumbent up for re-elec-tion, but who has deserted her posi-tion 4 seat. Then again, in the past,Whitten has proudly touted her mav-erick-like style to the newspaperswhen she goes rogue on the council.

I don’t think Sammamish votersexpect their elected officials to aban-don the seats they are elected into. Idon’t think this is a time for maver-icks, or rogues, or individuals whomay have complexes or display oddbehavior. Rather, it is a time for achange on the City Council!

Richardson is the right woman forCity Council Position 2. Richardsonis intelligent, energetic, thoughtful,considerate, pleasant, engaging,inclusive, level-headed, and warm-hearted. Richardson is an effectiveleader who sets priorities and makesdecisions based on facts. She helpsbuild consensus rather than creatingdivisiveness. The city ofSammamish is fortunate to haveRichardson on the current PlanningCommission and now we desperate-ly need her on the City Council!

Please vote for KathyRichardson for City CouncilPosition 2.

Support for

ValderramaI am writing to express my sup-

port for Ramiro Valderrama as acandidate running for SammamishCity Council. He has been activein the city for many years.

As a member of Citizens forSammamish, I have personallyseen him successfully mobilizethis group of Sammamish profes-sionals who donate their time andexpertise to work effectively withthe city in developing solutions fora broad array of issues related to:finance, environment, connectivi-ty, transportation, community ser-vices, accountability and process.His main issues for this electionare:

Fiscal Responsibility: ◆ Prioritizing spending and

ensuring our tax dollars are usedwisely, sparingly, and effectivelyand ensuring that the city is moreproductive and responsive in ser-vicing our citizens with fewerresources.

Manage Smart Growth: ◆ Encouraging growth that pre-

serves the character ofSammamish through low impactdevelopment.

Enhanced Citizen Participation: ◆ Emphasizing thoughtful and

viable city development throughincreased dialogue and collabora-tion with citizens of all ages andbusiness groups in such areas asconnectivity, critical area ordi-nances, community services,finance, and transportation.

Ramiro is a graduate of the U.S.Military Academy at West Pointand received his master’s in engi-neering administration from theGeorge Washington University. Hehas 25 years of executive experi-ence gained in 70 countries withleading companies such as KPMG,Oracle, SAP and Microsoft, and hasled U.S. government initiativessupporting the development oflocal and national governments

worldwideI trust Ramiro, and believe his

collaborative approaches to address-ing the challenges our city faceswill help us to grow and thrive, nowand into the future. I plan to votefor him and hope others do as well.Sammamish needs strong, commit-ted professionals like Ramiro on thecouncil.

Keep facts in the mix

In response to the recent“Basketfull of Endorsements” letter, Ihave to say I am tired of letters thatsubstitute forcefully voiced opinionsand personal attacks for fact-basedinformation.

The foundation of the writer’sopinions seems to be that “oldguard” and “establishment” are fourletter words, and that only new can-didates can be open-minded, practi-cal, visionary or interested in andcapable of moving the city forward.

As proof, he then goes on to mis-interpret what few facts he pointsto. (For instance, did Tom Vance loseto John Curley in the last electionbecause voters wanted a change?Isn’t it more probably because Mr.Curley, as a TV personally, was a

The city of Sammamish hascome a long way in the 22 years Ihave lived here. A lot of that isbecause the “old guard” listenedto the people of our city, devel-oped workable plans, and imple-mented them. That gives themsomething those new candidateslack: experience in building andrunning a fairly successful newcity.

Of course they formed opin-ions and took positions. That’swhat we elected them to do! Andcontrary to the letter, given themany changes in this city obvi-ously they have been pragmaticand taken decisive action.

Do I agree with all thechanges? Usually, but not always.Is there more to be done? Ofcourse. But in what city can resi-dents say otherwise?

While some of the new candi-dates may indeed have goodthings to contribute, I am notwilling to vote for them merelybecause they are new and havetheir own vision.

A vision without action ismerely a dream.

The incumbents have shownthey can turn visions to reality,and have an informed basis tocontinue to do so. Lobbying tosweep them out simply becausethey are incumbents assumes wehave an uninformed electorate.

The letter does nothing toinform us beyond an opinion thatchange for the sake of change isgood. I hope the electorate willlook deeper.

Support for Whitten

Some years before I moved tothe shores of Pine Lake a group

of early residents got together tosave the lake. In the 1980’s thelake was becoming a swamp insome areas, so some lakeside res-idents decided to find out theproblem.

With county help they got theUniversity of Washington lakeexperts to do a lake study. It wasdetermined that water flowingfrom the wetlands near thesouthern part of the lake broughtlarge amounts of damaging phos-phorous into the lake.

With construction, the flowwas diverted to the outlet creek.Without that intervention at thattime, Pine Lake could have even-tually become what environmen-talists often call a dead lake.Dead lakes (like Lake Ballingerin Edmonds) are unfit for swim-ming and a poor environmentfor fish.

Those of us who love and usePine Lake owe a debt of gratitudeto those early visionaries.

To try to reverse the damagesof a dead lake are extremelyexpensive and often not success-ful. Therefore, it is important tohave reasonable preventativemeasure to keep our lakeshealthy and to do so in a costeffective manner.

Pine Lake is a relatively smalllake (80 acres) and a shallow one(20 feet generally and 39 feet atthe deepest part). Because ofthese factors it is more vulnera-ble to phosphorous input thanlarger lakes.

One of those early residentswho helped prevent Pine Lakefrom becoming unhealthy wasCouncilwoman Nancy Whitten.Whitten’s respect for the environ-ment now includes all our lakes,streams and natural beauty.

Her voice is needed today asour community faces new chal-lenges from higher density andother issues.

She lends a good balance tothe City Council in helping tokeep the city of Sammamish acommunity of natural beauty.

Support for Vance

While some say out with theold and in with the new, I valueTom Vance’s knowledge andexperience.

It takes a long time to under-stand the nuances of the issuesthat the council will be dealingwith in the next four years –balancing growth, the environ-ment and the rights of propertyowners, providing excellentpolice and fire services at a rea-sonable cost, creating optionsfor alternative types of housingsuch as cottage, mother-in-lawapartments and low incomewhile preserving the look andfeel of the neighborhoods thatwe cherish, encouraging moresmall businesses and creating abroader range of local serviceswithout creating more trafficcongestion and stretching outpublic services and creatingmore community gatheringplaces and recreation opportu-nities for all ages without break-ing the bank.

I’m proud to say that our cityhas won several national awardsrecognizing how well we have

balanced these issues in the past.Tom has been an integral part ofthat balancing act.

He understands the issues andis ready to work hard to keepthose awards coming.

Let’s give him the opportuni-ty to continue that service byelecting him to the CityCouncil.

The Issaquah School District isfacing the biggest financial crisisin its history.

State funding has been cutrepeatedly, to the tune of mil-lions of dollars.

For a district like Issaquah,receiving less state funding thanmost of the other districts inWashington, the cuts representsevere inroads into precious dis-cretionary funds.

In meeting this challenge, weneed leadership that fully under-stands the classroom impacts ofboard and superintendent deci-

sions. Suzanne Weaver is theleader we need.

Suzanne is running for hersecond full term on the IssaquahSchool Board.

Before appointment and elec-tion to the board, Suzanne wasan active participant in thePTSA, Volunteers for IssaquahSchools and the IssaquahSchools Foundation.

Her education and career infinance give her a special edgeduring these difficult times.

As a board member, Suzannehas demonstrated a strong workethic and ability to find solu-tions. Most important, underher leadership the district hascontinued to meet its academicgoals.

We already know that the gov-ernor is calling a special sessionfor yet another round of statespending cuts.

In these perilous times, wecan’t afford inexperienced leader-ship. Please join me in re-elect-ing Suzanne Weaver to theIssaquah School Board.

This could be Sammamish! All of these kinds of activities and amenities are to be found in abundance in the communities that surround us. In Kirkland, Issaquah, Redmond, Snoqualmie, these things and more are part of the community, part of the identity of those towns, and they are drawing more and more, and younger, people to play, live, and work in those communities. Companies like Google, IBM, and Microsoft, and many smaller high tech startups are located in in these communities, or have offices there.

Some have cast the conversation about our future as either the status quo, or a collection of big box retailers, which few in our community want. But between those two extremes lie literally hundreds of possibilities that can grow our identity and attractiveness as a destination where people want to come to live, to play, to work, to pursue interests and passions and recreational activities. To get there, we need to build a vision of Sammamish together, and then execute on that vision!

I will bring my strategic, business development, and executive experience to council and I will work for you to:

• Keep our city fiscally sound through effective, efficient Council leadership and stewardship of our tax dollars.• Develop parks, the Town Center, an affordable Community Center, the infrastructure and services we need for the future, with Smart Growth,

protecting the environment while minimizing the burden on the taxpayers.

• Partner with the business community in ways that help minimize our tax exposure and maximize our business and job opportunities.

In addition to proposals,school board candidates offereda veritable alphabet soup todescribe involvement in localeducation efforts. PTSA andVIS, or Volunteers for IssaquahSchools, factored into candi-dates’ statements at the forum.

The questions during theforum’s school board portionfocused on improving schoolexperiences for students andmaintaining a high-achievingschool district despite nearconstant cuts from Olympia.

The incumbents, Deagleand Weaver, said IssaquahSchool District officialstrimmed unnecessary expens-es, or “low-hanging fruit” inWeaver’s description. Futurecuts could impact studentsmore acutely in the classroom.

“What it comes down to inthe short term, it’s staff,”Deagle said. “The largestexpense for the district isteachers. In the short term,unfortunately, that’s the onlylever we can pull. In the longterm, it will be a differentapproach to serving the kids.”

Sansing said district leadersshould instead consider trimmingadministrative costs if state legisla-tors hand down additional cuts inthe months ahead.

“That’s got to be the placethat we continue to look first,”he said. “I don’t want to lookfirst toward the schoolroom.”

How to better serve students

inside and outside of the class-room dominated the schoolboard candidates’ discussion.

Neville said the districtcould do a better job to servestudents uninterested in a tra-ditional college education afterhigh school. The proposalcame in response to a promptfrom the moderator: “Completethis sentence: The one area ofour schools that should receivemore attention is…”

“Issaquah School Districtcertainly place a lot of focus oncollege prep, which is under-standable,” he said. “I thinkmost parents, probably, in theIssaquah district probablyexpect their kids to go to col-lege. However, an area that Ifeel is somewhat lacking is thevocational side as well as onthe arts, potential viable alter-natives to the college preptrack.”

Neville’s opponent, Weaver,said district schools shouldfocus more on “the studentswho don’t fit the mold in highschool.”

“I think we have a greaternumber of kids who, I guessyou could say they under-achieve,” she said. “They’re notachieving at their potential.They kind of fit in the tradition-al high school, but they needsomething more. They needmore hands-on opportunities.They need more things thatwill give them exposure tocareers and other types ofpaths that they might take.”

In September, school boardmembers delayed sending aproposed bond — a $219 mil-

lion package to fund construc-tion and upgrades at schoolsacross the district — to the elec-torate from February to April.Questions arose about usingbond dollars to fund improve-ments to stadiums at Issaquah,Liberty and Skyline highschools.

“I would say these are notCadillac stadiums, but I’d saythey’re also not Pintos,” Weaversaid. “It’s important to spend acertain amount of money tobuild things well.”

Sansing said the stadiums atthe high schools serve a keycomponent in surroundingcommunities, because the facil-ities serve more than sportsteams.

“I think that they are notonly a school resource but acommunity resource,” he said.“There are many groups thatuse our stadiums, and I thinkthat it’s important for them tobe able to do so. I also thinkthat the education that youreceive outside of the class-room is just as important as theeducation you receive inside ofthe classroom.”

Questions for the Port ofSeattle Commission candidatesclosed the forum.

In the nonpartisan commis-sioner race, Democrat DeanWillard, a Sammamish residentand onetime state House ofRepresentatives candidate,faces Republican incumbentBill Bryant.

Richard Pope is challengingincumbent Commissioner GaelTarleton. (Pope did not attendthe forum.)

The discussion focused onthe economy and the environ-ment — major issues at theagency responsible for the Portof Seattle and Seattle-TacomaInternational Airport.

“At the Port of Seattle, we’reproving that we can rise towhat I think is the challenge oftime — to generate jobs whileprotecting the environment,”Bryant said.

Despite a recent turnaroundfor a once scandal-plaguedagency, Willard said moreprogress is needed to createjobs and clean up damage tothe environment related totrade.

“There are too many peoplethat work at the port that don’thave family-wage jobs,” he said.“Far too frequently, the envi-ronmental damage that’scaused by economic activitiesare borne by those who areleast able to bear them.”

Tarleton, regarded as thecommission’s expert on securi-ty, tackled a question about thebalance between security andconvenience at the airport.

“Our job is to make sure thatpeople can move through thatairport safely and securely,with minimum hassle,” shesaid. “Now, we all want to getrid of pat downs. We all want toget rid of the hassle of walkingthrough a security system thatfeels like you’re a salmonswimming upstream. Then,suddenly you reach that chokepoint and you’ve got to climbthat ladder and you hope youget to the other side. I’m work-ing on that.”

We must explore pri-vate sector andpublic/private optionsto mitigate taxpayercosts, operating losses,and potentially enhancecity revenues, alongwith a smaller facilitysize.

Ideally, if itmakes good eco-nomic and servicesense forSammamish yes,but we should eval-uate all of ouroptions beforemaking that deci-sion.

Cuts should be evalu-ated against a long termdirection and plan, work-ing with city manage-ment to ensure we havethe right priorities, bene-fits and values.

Jumpstarting theTown Center plan tomove it from inertia tobeginning development.

Shoreline MasterProgram 2009-265. Itis important to balanceproperty rights with-out being adversarialwith homeowners.Amending this pro-gram was an expensiverewrite.

No. The FeasibilityStudy is a proposal. Inthe Town Center or not,we should be workingwith the YMCA. I wouldavoid a bond/levy.

We should con-tinue working withEFR, if it makespractical and finan-cial sense. Eitherway, we will workwith our firefightersto ensure excellentservice.

Consultants and Cityprojects: need to plan bet-ter to maximize value,minimize costs, and getbetter outcomes. Casesin point: CommunityCenter consultants andbarricades.

Let’s find out if wecan build our new recre-ational amenities, possi-bly a community center,without increasing taxesor burdening our annualoperating budget.

The communitycenter FeasibilityStudy was called a“master plan” by CityStaff. It is a proposal.Should have had aconcurrent discussionof financing.

The current conceptis a beautiful design.There is clear demand(need) for many of theincluded amenities, butthe projected costs aretoo high.

This is a highlycomplex issue thatcannot sufficientlybe addressed withinthe format of thisQ&A.

Salaries and healthcarebenefits for Councilmembers.

Key issues of impor-tance to me are effec-tive decision makingand the public inputprocess.

Council shouldhave adopted theParks Commission'soriginal recommenda-tion for modest devel-opment ofSammamish Landing;not the lavish masterplan they required forthis park.

No, too expensive. Preferably yes.EFR provides excel-lent service. A newEFR agreement,required by 2014,needs to be evalu-ated with otheroptions for serviceand their costs.

We could encouragethe city to go paperless toextent feasible (e.g., digi-tally delivered newslet-ter) , and continue close-ly to scrutinize city con-tracts and services.

I hope that next yearwe’ll have a vote by ourresidents on an afford-able community-aquaticcenter.

Because of cost, I’dhave downsizedParkway project,focusing onInglewood Hill inter-section safety, neces-sary left turn lanes,no median, pathway --- not sidewalk, curbs.

City should recon-sider what is neededand have private sec-tor lead or work withpartners like YMCA.City should ensure cit-izens vote on final pro-posals.

As the city’sbiggest expense,like all servicesprovided to thecity, it needs to becontinually evaluat-ed and reviewed foroptions.

1. Review growth ofnon-departmental-othergeneral governmentalservices

2. Review capital pro-jects to reduce mainte-nance expenses

3. Fewer and efficientuse of consultants andmemberships

Increased fiscalresponsibility and citi-zen participation in thecity business process toleverage their consider-able expertise.

Decision to spendover $11M on ELSP-medians and side-walks portions. Costssignificantly out-weighed the benefits.

Given the econom-ic burden of the facili-ty on our taxpayers, Icannot support it.Public/privateoptions, alternatedesign/offerings toreduce costs must beevaluated.

Yes, we shouldremain withEastside Fire &Rescue, but contin-ue to work to withthem on our coststructure and ser-vice offerings/improvements.

From my businessexperience, a thoroughevaluation/review ofeach budget area withthe responsible managermust first occur beforespecifically calling outcomponents to cut.

Review and potentialadjustment of the TownCenter plan with inputfrom developers and thecollaborative options tokick-start development.

I would have donefurther work on theShoreline Master Planto support additionalbenefits for our prop-erty owners impactedby this.

Who is the “old guard”?

By Tom Vance

Now thatthe election isless than amonth awayand ballots

will arrive at your home soon, atheme has emerged. It seems I’mpart of the “old guard,” that I’mencumbered with a “legacy” andburdened with “baggage.”

This is confusing. A few yearsago I got involved in local politics because the “old guard” refused to allow the building of the EastLake Sammamish Trail; theyhadn’t built any new ball fieldsfor youth sports; and they hadn’tbuilt one new park for ourgrowing population.

Then in 2006, I startedvolunteering for a betterSammamish. I chaired anadvisory board on parks andrecreation. In 2008, I began aterm on the PlanningCommission, two years as Chair,working on many challengingissues, including the Town Center zoning, design, and developmentregulations. In 2009, I ran for City Council on this platform:“experienced leadership and avision for the next ten years.”

I can’t say much about myopponent. I met him a few months ago, when he signed up to run forCouncil. He says he has a vision.I’m not sure what it is so I’ll giveyou what I hope is ourSammamish vision.

We’re an award-winning,livable city. But we must work topreserve our wonderful naturalenvironment, our family-friendlyneighborhoods, and great schools.

With growth and change, wemust work hard to stay financially sound, improve our roads, andkeep our parks and recreation upto the needs of our many familiesand seniors.

As the economy improves, wewill continue to develop ouralready vital city center to manage our growth and be a place to live,work, shop and play.

Oh, I almost forgot: When myopponent talks about “legacy,”that means anything thathappened before last June.“Baggage”? That means“experience.”

If you value our vision and myexperience, I ask for your vote – tokeep Sammamish an award-winning, livable city into the future.

Skyline High School held its annual homecomingparade Oct. 14.

Hundreds watched as students and community

members marched up 228th Avenue fromDiscovery Elementary to Skyline in advance of theschool’s homecoming game.

Spartans are on the march

The Skyline dance team and cheerleaders got the crowd revved up.

LearningRx changes people’slives through brain training

Montalcino Ristorante Italianohas family recipes, wine, song

Why do some people learn and thinkfaster than others? People with improvedbrain skills are mentally sharper, do bet-ter in school, on the job, on the athleticfield, even behind the wheel of a car.They have more confidence. They’remore likely to go to college. They’re evenlikely to earn more money.

Who needs a faster, smarter brain?◆ Struggling students (poor performance,

homework battles)◆ Individuals with learning challenges◆ Kids and adults with autism, ADHD,

Asperger’s Syndrome or dyslexia◆ Career adults seeking to advance their

career◆ Seniors who want to stay mentally

sharp ◆ Victims of stroke or brain injury◆ Students and adults needing help with

test preparationBrain training rewires the brain and

changes lives. Cognitive skills trainingemphasizes “how” to learn versus “what”you learn using intensive game-like pro-cedures and a unique methodology.

That’s where LearningRx comes in.LearningRx brain training programsstrengthen pathways and even create newones, raising IQ and dramatically improv-ing how you think, remember and learn.

According to Cornell Atwater, directorfor LearningRx in Issaquah, strong cogni-tive skills are the foundation for all learn-ing – including reading, writing andmath.

“Cognitive skills include auditory andvisual processing, short and long termmemory, processing speed, logic and rea-soning,” Atwater explains.

“My experience at LearningRx changedmy life,” says 14-year-old Cameron, aLearningRx student. “For a long time Ihad trouble focusing…now I finish myhomework faster. The program was fun!”

Weak cognitive skills often manifestthemselves as learning disabilities,Atwater says. LearningRx does more thantreat the symptoms of learning disabili-ties; it addresses the source of the prob-lem and provides a permanent solution.

Frank and Perla decided to come toLearningRx because their son Ryan —diagnosed with ADD, dyslexia and ODD— needed help.

“He was taking medication to func-tion,” they explained. “Unfortunately, themedication did not help much in eitherhis schoolwork or his self-esteem.LearningRx gave him the tools to change.He learned how to focus, do the task athand and get organized.”

“His transformation is incredible!”Frank and Perla say. “He does not takemedication anymore. He does well inschool and loves it. It’s been a wonderfulexperience and we are grateful we foundLearningRx!”

LearningRx is located at 195 N.E.Gilman Blvd., Issaquah. ContactLearningRx at 425-657-0908 or visitwww.learningrx.com/issaquah. Attend afree seminar on Saturday, Oct. 22, 9 a.m.-noon.

The mercury dips, rain startsto fall more often and leavesmetamorphose from a demuregreen to riotous colors.

Why? The change of coloreach autumn involves a complexchemical process as trees preparefor the coming winter.

Throughout the growing sea-son, chlorophyll is produced con-stantly. Then, as autumn startsand nights turn longer, chloro-phyll production slows and thenstops. The process allows theother colors in a leaf’s palette —brilliant golds, oranges and reds— to appear.

“The other colors that you seewhen the green pigment goesaway — because the chloroplaststhat contain chlorophyll sort ofdie off as things get cold andthings are going to go dormantfor the year — those other colorsare always there, they’re justmasked by the green chloro-phyll,” city Arborist AlanHaywood said.

The autumn weather condi-tions influence leaves’ color andintensity, too. The formula forvibrant fall displays: sun-splashed, warm days and cool,crisp nights in succession. The

amount of moisture in soil alsoinfluences leaf colors.

“When we get sunny days and

cold nights — sometimes evenfrost — that really triggers lots ofgood color,” Haywood said.

“Often, we get our best colorwhen we have that greatSeptember weather, that kind of

Indian summer-type weather,where you get the warm daysand you get the cold, clearnights.”

In the daytime, if the weatheris sunny, leaves produce abun-dant sugars. The combination ofsunlight and sugar productioncauses the leaf to produce antho-

With their family about toexpand and their home alreadyproving to be tight quarters,Timberline residents Kelley andMatt Motley were faced with a bitof a conundrum.

They’d spent months perusingreal estate listings looking forsomething that offered morespace than their 4-bedroom, 2.25-bathroom 2,500-square-foot homebut was still in their price range.

“Pretty much everything wefound that was in this neighbor-hood was not in our price range,”Matt Motley said. “It went fromthis type of home to a milliondollars or more with nothing inbetween.”

They were also limited bywanting to stay in the immediatearea so their children could allattend Blackwell Elementary.The Motley’s daughters, 7 and 5-

years-old, both attend the schooland have had great teachers.With 3-year-old Nate in thepipeline and the couple planningto adopt a 2-year-old boy fromChina by next summer, theMotleys didn’t like the prospectof switching schools.

The couple also works fromhome – Matt works in real estateand Kelley works for a credit-reporting company. The twooften both work in one of thedownstairs bedrooms, which hasbeen converted to an office.

“Space is at a premium,”Kelley Motley said.

With their options so limited,the Motleys elected to add on totheir current home rather thanmoving. They spent the summerworking with an architect to craftthe perfect addition and recentlyreceived their permits for thework through the city ofSammamish.

Though the Motleys originallyenvisioned simply adding on twobedrooms upstairs, mission creepinevitably set in, especially when

they realized the logistics of sucha large project. In total, the fami-ly is adding 1,100 square feet totheir home.

Why do leaves

fall from trees?

In early autumn, inresponse to the shorterdays and less intense sun-light, leaves start a shut-down process. In a gradualprocess, the veins carryingfluids into and out of theleaf start to close off as acell layer forms at the baseof the leaf. The cloggedveins trap sugars in the leafand promote anthocyaninproduction. The leaf isready to fall from the treeafter the seal is completeand the connecting tissue issevered.

adding a large bonus roomand laundry room above thegarage.

The laundry room willmean no more trips up anddown the stairs with arms fullof dirty clothes.

“With so many kids we’redoing laundry just about everyday,” Kelley Motley said. “It’llbe nice to not have to lug it upand down stairs.”

The Motleys are now in theprocess of taking bids from dif-ferent general contractors forthe work, which will costapproximately $200,000. Mattsaid bids are coming in just alittle higher than he expected,though they are hopeful thatit’s money they’ll see thevalue of later.

He said they like the ideaof adding value to their homerather than throwing moneyaway on loan fees and theother costs inherent in buyingor selling a home.

“In theory we should beable to recoup some of thosecosts,” he said.

The Motleys had hoped toget construction going thissummer, but were delayedbecause they decided to tweakthe architect’s designs severaltimes.

The family is now facedwith construction starting thisfall, which could add somecosts and inconveniences –they’re hoping to stay in the

About 50,000 pounds of pump-kins dot the landscape as far asthe eye can see.

There are oblong gourds withample, flat surface areas for carv-ing.

Others are rotund, boasting asturdy stem and a thick, perfectshell.

“The perfect pumpkin is alljust a matter of personal prefer-ence,” he said. “Most people wanta big, bright, beautiful thing. Iwant one with scars on it. I wantit messed up and nasty.”

Ken Allison, a produce manag-er for PCC Natural Markets, saidthe perfect pumpkin is all in theeye of the beholder.

“It’s all in a person’s aestheticjudgment,” he said. “Typically,what I look for to carve or to sellis the stem to be attached still.That way you know it’s notknocked or kicked around. Youwant the pumpkin to feel firm soit won’t rot and collapse rightaway.”

Just when I thought it couldn’tget any worse, Jeff Renner tellsus we are in for another La Niña.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m notmoping around, crazy mad aboutthe weather.

Every little ray of sunshineand every little tinge of warmthhave been appreciated to the maxby me.

But still, I’m unable to come togrips with the big picture.

The issue of global climatechange is huge, impacting much

more than just gardening, mak-ing it hard to comprehend.

When pondering different sub-ject matters for this column Ilooked at many fall activ-ities, such as plantingbulbs, appreciating dahliasor storing fruit.

All paled by compari-son to the nagging, over-whelming subject ofglobal warming.

The receding glaciers, theissue of water supply, unbeliev-able tornadoes, debilitatingdroughts, and massive flooding

all fit into the picture painted forus by scientists just a few yearsago. It appears to be coming trueand quickly.

In the past, what did people dowhen faced with uncertain

change?Some of you

remember the victorygardens of World War II.It seems to me that a

good thing to do now is tobe resourceful and self-

reliant. This might be one of those

times to put our concerns closest

to home byplanting anedible gar-den.

You willneed gooddrainage andat least fourhours ofstrong sun-shine. Sharewhat you grow with your neigh-bors.

Someone with a big, sunnyplot might grow corn. Anotherperson with less exposurecould grow potatoes andsquash.

Maybe someone has anideal spot for tomatoes.

Many different peoplecould grow greens, carrotsand radishes.

Know all of yourneighbors, even the oldones, and the ones with thescreaming kids and barkingdogs.

Every one of them will havesomething to share, whether itbe baked goods, extra fruit fromtheir trees, canning equipment,quilts and handmade items,hand-me-down children’sclothes, compost and the listgoes on.

Stories and knowledge can beshared, so that everyone in yoursphere benefits, and no one is

left uncar-ed for — soveryimportantin uncer-tain times.

Plantthat fallgarden,and thendo me a

favor. Go out and get yourself

some bulbs to plant this fall.Common ones are daffodils,iris, crocus, tulips andhyacinths.

Plant them in well-drained soil and sunshine

where you can see themfrom your window. Protectthe tulips bulbs from squir-

rels with chicken wirebaskets you can make up

yourself.If you do that now, come

next spring you will be unsink-able.

Not even rain, snow, sleet orJeff Renner will keep you down.

You will be up and focused onthe thrill and hope you see inthose early spring flowers. Justdo it.

Chemistry lesson

The color palette responsible for fiery leaf colors each fall resultsfrom a series of pigments contained in the leaf. The chemistry behindthe autumn changeover is complex, but understanding some basicsabout photosynthesis and pigments is important.

Chlorophyll — Chlorophyll, as many folks remember from elemen-tary school science, gives leaves a green hue and absorbs sunlight.The substance is necessary for photosynthesis — the process plantsuse to turn energy from the sun into food. In the spring and summer,chlorophyll masks the other pigments in a leaf.

Carotenoids — The same chemicals responsible for the distinctiveoranges and yellows in bananas and carrots exist inside leaves.Chlorophyll, after cues from day length and temperature, starts tobreak down in the fall, revealing the carotenoids underneath.

Anthocyanins — The water-soluble substance responsible for thebrilliant reds and purples in autumn leaves is produced in sugars inthe leaf throughout the fall. Anthocyanins also lend a bright burst toapples and cranberries.

Sources: Issaquah City Arborist Alan Haywood, U.S. Forest Service

cyanins — pigments responsiblefor reddish hues.

The amount of anthocyaninsproduced influences the colorfrom year to year. The amount ofcarotenoids — pigments responsi-ble for flame-tinted hues — ismore consistent from year toyear.

“The pigments — they’re acombination of, they’re alreadythere and then there’s some for-mation that takes place in rela-tion to the changes that are goingon in the plant,” Haywood said.

pumpkin as big as they cancarry, while parents tend to be alittle more conservative whilepicking out their perfect pump-kin, Dutro said.

Pumpkins at the u-pick patchrange from hand-held minipumpkins to whoppers weighingin at 45 pounds.

There’s only one determiningfactor to how long it takes to finda pumpkin, Dutro said.

“It all depends on the weath-er,” he said. “If it’s raining, theygo to the first patch they see andthey can be there five minutes. Ifthe sun’s out, they’ll be here forhours.”

Dutro and Allison agreed thatif a customer is looking for theperfect baking pumpkin for holi-day treats, a large jack-o-lanterntype pumpkin is not the way to go.

“The first mistake peoplemake is they pick too big of a

pumpkin, which ends up makingit a huge project when it doesn’tneed to be,” Allison said. “Whatthey need is a sugar pie pump-kin, which is about the size of a16-inch softball. Do get a pump-kin for what you need.”

Sugar pie pumpkins are goodalternatives for pies, soups,muffins and breads. They’redense with fewer seeds andstrings inside the gourd, he said.

The u-pick patch will hostabout 25 classes for school toursand also takes reservations forbirthday parties.

Customers can go on a hayrideor sit around a bonfire located onsite. Concessions and a gift shopare available.

The patch is open from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday,Saturday and Sunday of eachweek until Oct. 30.

“We really believe picking outa pumpkin can be a day-longevent,” he said. “It doesn’t haveto be something you just throw inyour shopping cart and call itgood.”

A can or two of paint. The above might be just the

answer if you are looking toquickly and inexpensivelyrefresh or renew a room orrooms.

“If you are willing to use someelbow grease, painting is onething you can do,” said CindyDornon, an interior designerwith Urbanity, an Issaquah homedécor store.

At Issaquah’s Lowe’s, AssistantStore Manager Daniel Pena saidessentially the same.

“The quickest thing to do in

the area of home improvement isto paint,” Pena said.

Both also talked about not hav-ing to do an entire room, butinstead applying some color toone wall or entranceway, creat-ing an accent wall.

According to Pena, the currentcolor trend is toward grays.

“But you can never go wrongwith bright colors,” he added.

For example, red is perfect forsharpening up a room and it’s acolor lots of people think of whenthey picture an accent wall.

By the way, if you’re not in themood to paint, Pena said newcurtains are a great way to add

Small, inexpensive projects can refresh a homecolor to a room. He also talked abit about wallpaper, which hesaid has undergone somechanges over the years.

Most newer wallpaper ismeant, he said, to add texture ora fabric feel to your walls.

The instructions for hanging ithave changed as well. There isno need to wet the pieces beforethey go up on your wall; just gluethem in place. Pena did add onenote of caution.

Because of uneven surfaces,newer wallpaper isn’t alwaysreadily washable. If you havesmall children or otherwise havea wall that gets a lot of contact,wallpaper might not be for you.

Another quick, easy way tochange your surroundings is torearrange those surroundings,Dornon said. In other words,move your accessories or yourfurniture.

“Lots of people have the ten-dency to puts things in one placeand leave it there for years,” sheadded.

Lamps and lighting obviouslyare functional as well as decora-tive. Dornon said because of the

lack of sunlight through much ofthe year in the Northwest, havingthe proper lighting in a room canbe very important.

If you really feel as if you arein a rut, Dornon said bringing a

professional decorator in for atleast a consultation is moneywell spent. She added that goingwith someone local, rather thanhunting for a big name in Seattle,obviously will save you money.

For her design projects,Dornon said she is not attachedto any one particular style.Instead, she likes to look at aroom and see how it is used,coming up with individualizedplans.

Among other positives,Dornon believes such a plan cancut down on impulse purchasesof things for the home, items thateither don’t fit or are not needed.

Because of the sluggish econo-my, Dornon believes more peo-ple are redecorating or remodel-ing their homes instead of buyingnew homes.

She urged at least one note of

Consider options in

wallpaper versus

paint debateWhile it can be an important

factor, aesthetic preference isn’tthe only consideration for home-owners as they select a winner inthe wallpaper-versus-paint redec-orating battle.

Cost, upkeep, family-friend-ly alternatives and even aller-gies can influence whetherpaint or wallpaper will becomea more ideal alternative for ahome.

While upfront costs may beassociated with wallpaper,today’s vinyl wall coveringsmay result in cost savings inthe long run.

Some coverings may last fivetimes longer than traditionalpaint under normal use,according to the NationalGuild of ProfessionalPaperhangers.

Homeowners withkids or pets should beaware of common cleaning issuesassociated with paint or wallpa-per.

Children often cause morewear and tear on a house andits wall décor more than anadults-only home would experi-ence.

Pets often sleep against walls,which can leave a mark overtime.

Vinyl wallpaper or scrubbablepaint are good alternatives to sit-uations where children, furnitureor pets leave frequent markingsalong walls.

For those with sensitivities tocertain allergens, paint and wall-paper selections can be critical tofeeling comfortable in your ownhome.

People with allergies or sensi-tivities should look for paint thatcomes in nontoxic forms or paintwith low or no Volatile OrganicCompounds.

Nontoxic wallpaper adhesiveand wallpaper that isn’t pre-past-ed are also available.

caution when it comes to largescale remodelings or additions,saying people sometimes don’ttake fully into account how thespace is going to be lived in,how it’s going to be used.

Pena spent a few minutestalking about renewing specificrooms. For bathrooms, he sug-gested rather than goingthrough a major remodel, tryreplacing fixtures such asfaucets.

“This can save you a lot ofmoney and make the sink andtub look new,” he said.

You might also think aboutadding a pre-built vanity.

Kitchens are another roompeople often want to make overwith a major remodel. Penasaid one obvious alternative isreplacing fixtures, as in thebathroom.

To classical music connois-seurs, Rimsky-Korskoff’s“CapriccioEspagnole”might provide15 minutes ofharmonic blisswhen theSammamishSymphonyOrchestra per-forms it thismonth.

“It’s 15 min-utes of purejoy,” said JosephScott, the sym-phony’s long-time conductorand music direc-tor.

The orches-tral piece features constant inter-play between the concertmaster,Dennis Helppie, of Sammamish,on violin and the harpist and

brass section. But it won’t be theonly piece to look forward to atthe symphony’s 2011 openingconcert in Sammamish.

On Oct. 23,the symphony isrolling out thered carpet to cel-ebrate its 20thyear on theplateau. Thegroup, whichdraws performersfrom 25 cities inand around KingCounty, will per-form “RussianFireworks” at 2p.m. at theEastlakePerforming ArtsCenter. The pro-gram will includea Rachmaninoff

piano concerto, “CapriccioEspagnole, Op. 34” andTchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,Op. 49.”

“An organization needs to cele-brate milestones,” said Scott. “It’sgood to show off the orchestraand what we’re good at. It’s stillnot as much a household nameas we would like it to be.”

As the 85 members warmedup for rehearsal in the Eastlake

Parents and their athletic chil-dren will have an opportunity tosave a bunch of money on typi-cally expensive sports equipmentsoon.

The Sammamish Kiwanis Clubwill hold its annual Ski and SportSwap Oct. 29 at Pine LakeCovenant Church. Club membershighlighted that the event contin-ues to grow and in 2011 willinclude ample selection of skiand other sports gear.

While the event started as away of trading mostly ski equip-ment, it has grown to includesports equipment of all sorts,from skis and snowboards to soc-cer and baseball equipment.

“I can’t think of a better way totake advantage of recycling ormaking your recreational sportmore affordable,” said event orga-

nizer Nicky Beedle. “Why spendtop dollar for equipment that willlikely be obsolete by the end ofnext season?”

Community members areencouraged to donate their gen-tly used gear to the swap. Youcan also swap your gear for creditto put toward other gear you pur-chase at the Ski and Sport Swap.

But of course, donated itemsfetch 100 percent profit, the pro-ceeds of which go toward theKiwanis Children and Youth lead-ership mentoring projects, Beedlesaid.

wrote this piece on a tonelessmodel piano, imagining the notesin his head. Many consider“Piano Concerto No. 3 in Dminor, Op. 30” to be one of themost technically challengingpiano concertos in the standardclassical repertoire.

“It’s a tour de force,” Scott said.As for the famous “1812

Overture,” Scott seemed excitedabout it rounding out an all-around challenging but grand

opening concert. The overture’scannon (percussion) booms,trumpet calls and smoothstringed scale will finish the per-formance off dynamically.

“You can’t do anything anygrander for a celebration con-cert,” Scott said.

The opening concert is one offive on the line-up for the 2011-2012 season and includes theVerdi Requiem concert April 22at Benaroya Hall in Seattle.

celebrate birth of the

BabMembers of the Baha’i faith

in Sammamish celebrated thebirth of the religion’s founder,the Bab, Oct. 19.

Followers from around theEastside gathered at theEastside Baha’i Center inBellevue to worship, experience

live musical performances, viewmusical videos about the cele-bration’s history and read fromBaha’i holy writings, said apress release from Baha’is ofSammamish.

Siyyid ‘Ali-Muhammad wasborn Oct. 20, 1819 in Shiraz,Persia, which is modern-dayIran. In 1844 he proclaimed thathe bore a divine revelation,which would prepare humanityfor the advent of the “promised

one” of all religions. He took onthe title “the Bab,” which inArabic means “gate.” Persianauthorities executed him in1850, fearful of the spread of histeachings, the press releasesaid.

More than 170,000 people inthe United States and about fivemillion around the world prac-tice the Baha’i faith, theyoungest of the world’s inde-pendent, monotheistic religions.

About 40 Cub Scouts and 20of their parents fromSammamish and Issaquah tookdrawing lessons from a pro Oct.12 at Sunny Hills ElementarySchool.

John Skewes, author andillustrator of the “Larry GetsLost” children’s book series, vis-ited with the first- through fifth-graders to inspire them tobecome creative writers andartists.

Originally from Seattle,Skewes has worked as a design-er, character artist, illustratorand product designer for Disney,Warner Brothers, 20th CenturyFox and Jim HensenProductions. He illustratedbooks featuring Tom and Jerry,Alvin & the Chipmunks and theFlintstones.

The activity was part of theCub Scouts’ October focus onreading — each boy had toaccumulate 500 minutes ofreading to achieve the LibrisAward.

“They loved it. They wantedhim to keep drawing all night,”

said parent Carol Rogalski. “Theleadership wanted to have awriter/illustrator attend this

pack meeting, so that the kidscan see how cool it is to be onthe other side of the books they

are reading.”Skewes wrote and illustrated

“Larry Gets Lost in Seattle.”

As the Lake WashingtonSchool Board prepares to bring ona new member after the fall elec-tion, the school district is alsoreshaping each director’s area ofrepresentation, according to aboard discussion Oct. 10.

If the current proposed bound-ary change is approved, DougEglington, who represents fami-lies in district four —Sammamish and bits of Redmondand unincorporated King County— will see his district shrink byroughly 2,000 people. But it willgrow geographically.

Students who acceptedRachel’s Challenge Oct. 11 mighthave changed the outcome of theentire school year for some oftheir classmates.

Carson and Blackwell elemen-tary school students learnedabout the power of simple acts ofkindness and being inclusive atassemblies with a representativefrom Rachel’s Challenge.

Being nice, showing unexpect-ed kindness and choosing posi-tive influences might not be newto parents, but those ideas werethe focus of the program thatkicked off a year-long effort ateach school to encourage theiryouth to practice compassion andkindness in everything they do.

“This gives us kind of a reason,or a start to talk about kindnessand compassion and includingother kids,” said Mike Anderson,principal at Blackwell.

At Blackwell, Daryn Jackson,from the Rachel’s Challenge orga-nization, talked with the elemen-tary students and showed themvideos demonstrating variousacts of forgiveness, friendshipand inclusiveness.

After an hour of conversationand interaction, the studentsthen decided whether or not theywould accept the challenge. Most

raised their hands, but those whotook it seriously signed an 8-foot-long banner hung in the school’shallway the next day.

“I wanted to do something thatwould change the culture of ourschool,” said Mary Cronin,Carson principal. “It’s not bad,but I wanted people to say, ‘wow,this is an amazing school,’ whenthey walked into the building.”

Parents at both schools alsogot involved in the program.They got together with Jacksonand school leaders the night ofOct. 11 to learn how they can bepart of what Rachel Scott called“a chain reaction of kindness.”

“This is all about communityand including everybody,”Anderson said after the Blackwellassembly. “It’s growing in thisarea.”

The Rachel’s Challenge move-ment was inspired by 17-year-oldRachel Scott, who was the firstperson killed in the 1999Columbine High School shooting.Her lifestyle of kindness andcompassion, as well as the sixdiaries she left behind serve asthe foundation of the organiza-tion, which sends reps aroundthe country to work with schoolsand other organizations.

The point is for students tofeel empowered to create theirown culture of kindness and

compassion at school and athome. The program mainlyaddresses the causes of problemslike bullying, isolation and preju-dice.

The elementary students wereencouraged to do little acts ofkindness for someone at school.The middle and high school ver-

sions of the program follow asimilar theme, but address moreissues specific to student life atthose respective levels.

Cronin said they had beenplanning to bring Rachel’sChallenge to Sammamish sincethe spring, after she was movedby a television special about the

organization. Leading up to the program

“What we are all most excitedabout is the change we hope tosee in everyone … children, par-ents, teachers, community; thatgiving to others is important andby doing so, we will start a “chainreaction,” Cronin said.

As the school year progresses,students will construct a chain oflinked paper rings which havetheir acts of kindness written onthem. Anderson said they hopeto hold a joint school assembly tocelebrate Blackwell’s andCarson’s newly embraced cultureof kindness.

“Our ultimate goal is to linkthe chain between Blackwell andCarson — a rather ambitiousgoal,” Cronin said. “But thebiggest goal is to instill in ourchildren, kindness matters. It’sthe little things, and one person,no matter how old they are, canand does make a difference.”

Through tough defense andspot-on special teams play, theEastlake High School Wolvesdefeated the Issaquah Eagles 44-17 in KingCo 4A Conference playOct. 14.

Eastlake, the Seattle Times’No. 1 ranked 4A school in thestate, handed the Eagle’s theirsecond loss of the season.

With 6:18 left in the first quar-ter, Eastlake senior ColtonTeglovic intercepted andreturned a pass for a touchdownfrom Issaquah senior quarterbackEthan Kalin.

“It was important,” Teglovicsaid of his first interception. “Itgot the team fired up, and wenever looked back from there.”

Teglovic would go on interceptanother Kalin pass in the secondquarter and added another touch-down after a 75-yard kickoffreturn to start the second half ofthe game.

The scores were Teglovic’sfirst two touchdowns of the sea-son.

“It’s huge for our whole teammorale,” he said. “When defensemakes plays like that, it gets

everybody going.”Issaquah coach Chris Bennett

praised his team’s ability to runthe ball, but said turnovers andtwo stellar Eastlake kickoffreturns eradicated any sense ofrhythm the Eagles’ offense wasable to establish.

“You just can’t give up fourinterceptions and give up twospecial teams touchdowns to aquality team,” Bennett said.

Eastlake Coach Gene Dalescredited his team’s depth andsenior leadership for their 7-0success this season.

“We’ve got 25 kids out thereand a lot of them have been play-ing since fifth and sixth gradetogether,” he said. “The thing Ilike the best about them is wehave tremendous chemistry.They’re all about team, not indi-viduals. We come out of the tun-nel, and it’s all together.”

Eastlake senior running backRyan Lewis added two rushingtouchdowns for the Wolves in thesecond quarter.

After a 35-yard field goal fromIssaquah’s Alex Shane and a 23-yard pass from Kalin to juniorwide receiver Reed Peterson inthe second quarter, the score was

24-10 at the half. Eastlake linebacker Sean

MacDonald would grab two inter-

ceptions of his own in the secondhalf.

loss, and we had some chances

Jackie Wilson floated a freekick perfectly into the scrum ofplayers at the edge of the goalbox. Skyline junior forward AnnaDeweirdt took it, saw the openingand fired the ball right pastEastlake goalkeeper BryceKennedy for the go-ahead goal inthe 71st minute.

“I just know how Jackie kicks,”Deweirdt said after the matchOct. 13 at Eastlake High School.

Skyline dealt Eastlake its firstKingCo 4A loss in a 2-1 victory.The Spartans remain in secondplace in the league at 6-0-1,behind Issaquah (6-0-2), whichbeat Bothell 2-1 the same night.

The Wolves fell to 2-1-4 inKingCo and 4-2-7 overall.

“We knew 23 (Wilson) deliversa great ball,” said Chuck Krieble,Eastlake’s head coach. “Therewere no surprises tonight.”

Deweirdt noted that she andWilson work on shots like thewinning one at practice often.Wilson feeds a well-aimed chip-shot from about 30 yards out andDeweirdt just seems to find it andtime the hard shot on goal.

“I just knew she was going tobe there,” Wilson said aboutwatching her free kick land in

just the right spot for her team-mate forward.

Eastlake struck first in the14th minute. Standout midfielderKelsey Haberly took a one-touchpass from Marissa Katagiri, whohad re-directed a Kennedy goalkick at center-mid-field. Haberlytook the ball at about 30 yardsout, dribbled past two Skylinedefenders and shot across thegoal left to right, landing the ballinside the right post past a divingTina Vargas.

“It was nice to get on topearly,” Krieble said.

Skyline came back with theequalizer in the 22nd minute.Jordan Branch, a Skyline sopho-more midfielder, took a throw-infrom junior defender LiannaSimms on the left sideline.Branch controlled the ball, andknocked a shot into center-goalfrom 15 yards out past a divingKennedy.

A recent JV call-up, Simmshas given Skyline some helpagainst pressing opponents.

“Liann’s played great for ussince she came up from JV,”Braman said.

The score was tied 1-1 at thehalftime break.

Eastlake controlled the tempomuch of the game, but Skyline’sfront line advanced often enoughto get another legitimate chance.Eastlake’s Kennedy got the crowdgoing with a diving save in the42nd minute and Skyline’s Vargas

also took away a near goal for theWolves in the 48th minute.

The Spartans drew a foul,which set up the Wilson-to-Deweirdt free-kick goal.

A lot of coaching high schoolsports is about reminding theplayers how good they are orcan be, said Pat Bangasser,Eastlake’s longtime golf coach.

He got a lot of chances to dothat this fall, as the Wolves wenta perfect 10-0 in the regular sea-son.

“The guys have had a greatyear,” he said before the KingCo4A tournament Oct. 12.

The landmark year beganwith the boys ending mightyRedmond’s 23-match winningstreak.

“That gave us some confi-dence,” Bangasser said.

Another major part of raisinga championship team is gettingeach player to “walk like an ath-lete” — with mental focus andtoughness on the course. Andthe boys of Eastlake havebecome one of the tougherteams on the course.

Team chemistry is a keydescriptor for the Eastlakesquad in 2011, too. Team leaderslike Li Wang, Spencer Weiss,

Will Sharp and Jack Fisherplayed a lot of golf over thesummer and were hitting theirstride as the fall high school sea-son began.

In fact, RP McCoy, JackStrickland and Paul Russoplayed a lot of golf over thesummer, too. So they’ve spentample time on the coursetogether to learn about eachother’s game and style.

“It’s a good working relation-ship. They help each other out,”Bangasser said. “They all lovethe game too. You never have tomotivate them to practice.”

Not only do they have all themechanics of good golf workedout on their own when theycome to practice, but the rosteris deep. In 10 matches, five dif-ferent golfers medaled with thelow score at least once. Sharpmedaled or co-medaled fourtimes and shot above a 40-stroke9-hole game just once, accord-ing to the team’s results web-page.

“That’s a pretty special teamwhen you can have that(depth),” Bangasser said.

On top of golf, the Eastlakeboys excel academically, too.Seven of the 10 maintain a 3.8or higher cumulative GPA,Bangasser said.

Eastlake sends four, Skylinesends two to state tourney

When it was all said and doneat the KingCo 4A championshipOct. 11-12, all four Wolves whomade the cut for day twoadvanced to the state tourna-ment, set for May 22-23, 2012 inSpokane. Eastlake as a teamscored 45.25 points to place sec-ond at KingCo, behindWoodinville, which had a 53.25.Weiss finished with a 75-77-152,Wang tallied a two-round 153(73-80) and Fisher scored a 154(76-78). Sharp will go as analternate after he shot an 80-77-157 at Willows Run Golf Course.

Skyline placed fourth with27.5 points. Freshman KelleySullivan finished tied withWeiss, tallying a score of 152strokes (73-79). He was the onlyninth-grader to advance.Sophomore Brian Mogg took11th place with a 75-80-155.
