City cutssocks, trees from frontof StarbucksBY LINDA BALL

Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Either you loved them or you hated them. It doesn’t seem there was any in-between.

Just about a year ago, fi ber artists Suzanne Tidwell and Beth Newfeld covered the six 20-foot tree stumps in front of the Starbucks at Northeast Fourth Street and 228th Avenue Northeast near Eastlake High School, with winter-themed knit “socks” which eventually segued into spring and autumn socks.

Th e public art display was never a permanent installation - it was only commissioned through the end of this year said Sammamish deputy city clerk Melonie Anderson.

Allison Gubata, one of the city’s liaisons to the arts commission said the socks were removed Dec. 16 with the trees sawed off to the ground the next day, since they were dead. Anderson said the cost to carve them was too expensive.

Th e trees were in a city right-of-way so it was left up to the public works department to mend the site.

City engineer Jeff Brauns said there was no disturbance to the land since the tree trunks were shaved down to the ground. Th e piece of property will remain a planter strip between the sidewalk and the curb.

“We may re-eval-uate whether or not to add some plant-ings in the spring,” Brauns said.

Th e sock art caused quite a stir, even prompting a Facebook page called “Cut Down the Tree Stumps Near Sam-mamish’s Eastlake Starbucks.”

Tidwell and Newfeld funded the winter socks on their own; the spring installation was funded by a grant from 4Culture with summer/fall installa-tion was sponsored by Lion Brand Yarn.

Tidwell and Newfeld are also known for their knit installations in Seattle’s Occidental Park, and for knitting a scarf for the Fremont Troll.

ROOTED IN THE HEART

BY CELESTE [email protected]

Before her Lou Gehrig’s disease diagnosis, Maureen McCarry spent her last year on Issaquah City Coun-cil working on a project that would preserve Park Pointe.

When the city recognized her work with a prestigious environmental award, she spent the prize money on trees for the property. But it wasn’t un-til her daughter, 13-year-old Michaela Knollmann, helped plant the trees herself Wednesday that she under-stood everything her mother worked toward.

“She was really proud that I’d do this for her,” she said, with a shovel in hand and fresh mud on her sneakers. McCarry couldn’t physically make it to the event.

A small group of volunteers planted about 120 trees Wednesday with $1,000 from McCarry, who matched

her prize money before giving it to the Issaquah Environmental Council earlier this year.

Th ere are about 30 acres on the property that are fi lled with invasive plants, 12-foot blackberry bushes, and various rubbish, including about 80 tires, a boat and abandoned cars.

Matt Mechler, who oversees parks volunteer projects, spent the summer mowing down the blackberry bushes and digging up tires, which still had their rims.

His hope is that the new cedars will drown out enough light that the black-berry bushes won’t make a comeback.

Th ere are still plenty more invasive plants to mow down. In the middle of a cleared fi eld stands a pile of bushes. Mechler tried to tear them down, but he hit too much waste, including used barrels.

He hopes to use partnerships with IEC and Mountain to Sound Green-way to restore the 104-acre property.

Paul Algate brought his 13-year-old daughter Anna to tree planting project. Aft er all that Christmas pud-ding, it was good to get outside again, he said, but he also did it on behalf of McCarry.

Th e Park Pointe land was preserved through a Transfer of Development Rights deal that allowed developers to build in a diff erent part of the city.

If the city can grow while keeping its focus on the outdoors, it strikes a good balance, Algate said.

A popular jazz bar is leaving a small gated com-munity in Issaquah and heading for Bellevue’s night scene.

Bake’s Place will host is last show at Providence Point in mid-February, reopening in downtown Bellevue in late March.

Th e new Bake’s Place location has been a 12-year dream for Craig Baker, who started the club in his Red-mond basement. Inspired by Seattle’s Jazz Alley, he wanted something similar on the Eastside.

Bake’s Place is one of only a few live music venues in Issaquah, and certainly the most lively.

With 110 seats, the new location almost doubles its seating, but Baker plans to continue creating the intimate setting that attracts so many people today.

He chose Bellevue because of it’s vibrant night life on the weekends, he said. “Bellevue has a lot of really good restaurants, but there aren’t a lot of music venues like us.”

Rules in the gated com-munity have required Bake’s Place to shut down at 10:30 p.m., about the same time some people start going out, he says.

By expanding hours into the early morning, he hopes to attract crowds of young people who oft en are out and about looking for entertainment.

While construction isn’t complete on the new space, located next to Seastar Restaurant on Northeast Second Street and 108th Avenue Northeast, it will have a mezzanine above a bar. He’s also planning a moody, rich atmosphere

with all new furnishings.Baker plans to expand

from three evenings a week to six days, including lunch and dinner. Busy nights would have two shows, one for his customers used to his current hours and one for the late night crowds.

Th e larger space and open schedule are likely to draw in some of the same names as Jazz Alley, he said.

Bake’s Place will still focus on jazz music, but in-clude a more eclectic blend of performers, including styles such as Latin, R&B, big bands and swing.

Baker asked young chef Chris Peterson, who is

known for his time at Bis on Main and Campagne at Pike Place, to partner with him in the new jazz spot. Together they’re building a new kitchen and a new menu.

While the food is going to see a major upgrade – today entrees have to be ordered ahead of time – it’s still all about building a respectful atmosphere for artists, he said. “Our focus has always been creating a listening room.”

Th e Lake Washington School District and the city of Sammamish will host an opportunity for the public to meet and talk with Dr. Traci Pierce, the LWSD Board of Directors’ preferred candidate for the district superinten-dent position from 5:30-6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 17 at Sammamish City Hall.

Th e LWSD School Board conducted an internal search for its new super-intendent in October and November and announced Pierce as its pre-ferred candidate at the Dec. 5 board meeting.

Pierce will replace Chip Kimball, who is leaving to take a school superintendent

position in Singapore. Th e board decided to look for a qualifi ed internal candidate to maintain continuity during what is expected to be a very busy 2012.

Pierce is currently the deputy superin-tendent of instructional services for LWSD and has not yet been hired as superinten-dent. Th e series of gatherings throughout the district to meet Pierce will introduce her to the community while asking for public input to the school board.

For more information on the open house, contact Melonie Anderson at 425-295-0511 or [email protected]. To learn more about Pierce or the search process, contact Kath-ryn Reith at 425-936-1342 or [email protected].

GETTING A FEELING FOR FLYING Anderson won’tseek re-electionin 5th District

Rep. Glenn Anderson announced Wednesday he will not seek re-election for a seventh term as state representative serving the 5th Legislative District — a region that includes Issaquah, Sammamish, Snoqualm-ie Valley, Maple Valley, and parts of Renton and Kent.

“It’s been an extraordinary gift and a privilege to be allowed to serve the citizens of our commu-nity,” said the Fall City Republi-can, who was fi rst elected in 2000. “I’ve been extremely lucky that so many constituents, regardless of party affi liation, felt as though it was important to be engaged and have helped in many ways with all the issues I’ve been called on to deal with over the years. Th ere is no substitute for participation when it comes to good government. Th e list of people who have sacrifi ced to be helpful to me, and their state, is very long.”

Anderson is recognized as a statewide leader on K-12 and higher education reform and funding issues. He was a bipartisan leader on a series of critical K-12 education reform measures passed over the last several years. He served as the leading Republican voice on Gov. Chris Gregoire’s Washington Learns 2006 Task Force and his “Fund Education First” budget reform proposal is considered to be an essential initiative to improving K-12 school funding.

“When students have a good basic education, ev-erything in life becomes possible for them,” Anderson said. “It’s not something we should take for granted.”

In 2004, Anderson served as Republican Floor Leader responsible for leading debate and parliamen-tary procedure during fl oor action in the House.

In 2006, he served as president of the Pacifi c North-west Economic Region, which is a U.S.-Canadian commonwealth of the fi ve northwestern states and four western Canadian provinces dedicated to economic growth and quality-of-life issues.

In 2007, he was awarded the “Washington General” merit designation for outstanding civil service to the state.

As a senior legislator Anderson ranks 13th in senior-ity out of 98 House members.

Anderson, who will serve out the remainder of his term through the end of 2012, has not ruled out stay-ing in politics.

Our governor and state legislators are faced with the diffi cult task of preparing a balanced budget and are calling for extreme cuts in government services to match the income shortfall created by these tough economic times.

There are some services, like those provided to victims of sexual assault

and domestic vio-lence, that are part of our public safety network and benefi t all of us.

Yet, the gover-nor’s budget pro-poses a 20 percent reduction to state funding for sexual assault and domestic violence programs,

such as the King County Sexual As-sault Resource Center, which has a long history of providing services that increase public safety and save lives.

What does this say about our care and concern for our neighbors, if therapy and legal advocacy services for these victims of crime are not avail-able? What if they were not available for your loved one?

There has never been a greater need for services, and even with current funding the resource center cannot assist all those who need help. Criminal sexual assault cases in King County now take 18-24 months to be resolved (up from previously 12-18 months). This greatly increases the strain on

victims and families.We know that untreated victims face

huge hurdles in their future. A recent Washington state survey reported that 100 percent of women who had mul-tiple sexual assaults as adults had been victimized as children. Problems with school performance, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and suicide are often result of untreated sexual assault. Treat-ment and healing are critical. Who will be there for victims if our agencies are starved for funding?

Here are some things you can do:• Call-write your Olympia elected of-

fi cials and urge that funding for sexual assault services be at least at the current 2011 budget level;

• Remind our Legislature that “cuts-only budget” it will degrade the quality of our life;

• Speak to your family members, neighbors, your church and friends and alert them to this serious fund-ing crisis and ask them to join you in making your views known right now in Olympia.

Our state budget is a moral docu-ment. The human needs in our commu-nities require continued and adequate funding. The time to speak out is now. The time to stand up is now.

Rev. Marvin Eckfeldt is a member of the Board of Directors of the King

County Sexual Assault Resource Center

Th e National Transportation Safety Board has taken a tough, but necessary, stand on texting, emailing or chatting while driving a vehicle. Th e board wants it outlawed.

Good.Th e unanimous recommendation from the fi ve-

member board would apply even to hands-free de-vices, a much stricter rule than any current state law.

Again, good.Despite the popularity of such devices, there’s no

way a person can give full concentration to driving and still pay attention to a making a telephone call, emailing or sending a text.

As NTSB chairwoman Deborah Hersman rightly noted, “No email, no text, no update, no call is worth a human life.”

And people have died while trying to do both. One deadly crash in Missouri involved a 19-year-old teen driving a pickup who sent or received 11 text mes-sages within 11 minutes.

Th e pickup was traveling at 55 mph when it plowed into the back of a tractor truck that had slowed for highway construction. Th e pickup was then rear-end-ed by a school bus, and a second school bus rammed into the back of the fi rst bus.

Th e pickup driver and a 15-year-old student on one of the buses were killed. Th irty-eight other people were injured.

Our state is one of 35 and the District of Columbia that bans texting while driving, and, along with eight other states and Washington, D.C., that ban hand-held cellphone use.

Th at seems like a step on the right direction, but you only have to look around at our streets to see driver aft er driver fl aunting the law. And most, if not all of them, are clearly paying more attention to their cellphone calls and text messages than they are to their driving.

And, yes, the police do write tickets – lots of them – for these off enses – but it’s clear that it isn’t stopping this dangerous practice.

Let’s stop kidding ourselves: It is inconceivable to believe that all – or even most – of those cellphone calls and text messages are in response to an emer-gency. In reality, people doing them are putting their personal need to chat and text above any concern for public safety.

Th e National Transportation Safety Board is right. Ban all use of texting, emailing or chatting while driving. We can live without doing those activities. It’s now apparent that we can die while doing them.

– Craig Groshart, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Budget is a moral documentA welcome vote

A lot of us express our frustra-tion at the state of Washington, D.C., politics: the partisanship, the gridlock and the lack of action to help our economy grow. So when our elected offi cials take a bold, brave vote on behalf of our state, it’s important to take note.

Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and Rep. Dave Reichert all voted in favor of the free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. Th ese free trade agreements represent the most signifi cant progress on trade in the last 15 years, and have the potential to signifi cantly increase jobs and economic opportunity.

Th ese agreements lower or eliminate tariff s on everything from industrial products to consumer goods in some of the most impor-tant markets for our state; South Korea, for example, is our state’s 4th largest trading partner.

Th e three faced great pressure to oppose these measures, and we should be grateful for their willing-ness to take tough votes on that will benefi t our state’s economy.

So, on behalf of businesses and citizens in the 8th Congressional District, I wanted to take a moment to thank them publicly.Eric Schinfeld, Seattle

As 2011 sunsets into a new year and many toast to the coming opportunities,

it also gives room to reflect on what Issaquah and Sammamish have accomplished, what trag-edies they’ve overcome and what they’ve built this past year. Here is a recap of events in 2011.

JANUARY- After months of controversy

over closing Timberlake Park to dogs, Issaquah decided to quietly allow the pooches to return on leash.

- Families in the Lake Wash-ington School District, which serves Sammamish residents, approved a $65 million tax levy.

FEBRUARY- The community surrounded

the Issaquah lacrosse team with support after one of its players, 18-year-old Tyler Lucas, died in a car crash on I-405.

- The 228th Street Sammamish tree socks got a $3,000 grant to get new spring colors. The tower-ing stumps got new brightly-colored decorations.

- When a UHaul truck, filled with all of one man’s earthly pos-sessions, was stolen from a hotel in Issaquah, he organized a com-munity crime fighting website. Police soon recovered the truck, and several months later were able to track down most of his possessions.

MARCH- Sammamish City Council

voted to approve removing the 32nd Street barricade. A contro-versy for almost three decades, the city presented the recommen-dation in January.

- Former reporter Stacy Good-man was selected to replace Maureen McCarry on Issaquah’s City Council. McCarry resigned two months earlier, after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

- Nashi, Cougar Mountain Zoo’s only cougar at the time, died at age 17. The zoo has since acquired three cougar cubs.

- Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger agreed to reconsider the city’s partnership with King County Animal Control, after off-leash problems began to plague the Evans Neighborhood.

APRIL- Sammamish residents chal-

lenged plans to expand a Muslim prayer center parking lot, saying it would cause traffic problems and that the area was inappropri-ate for the center.

- A delicate remodel was com-pleted on the historic First Stage Theatre on Front Street, Issaquah.

- The Issaquah Salmon Hatch-ery released its first group of rare Kokanee Salmon to Jacobs Creek in Issaquah.

- Two Issaquah middle-school-ers were charged with allegedly harassing a classmate through Facebook.

MAY - Jose Enciso won business

person of the year award for how he’s turned XXX Rootbeer into a thriving restaurant with a strong hot-rod community.

- Gov. Chris Gregoire approved plans to charge a $30 fee at Wash-ington State Parks, including Lake Sammamish. The hope was to raise enough money to cover the park systems entire budget. Its expected to miss that mark by millions.

- Evergreen Christian Fel-lowship in Sammamish hosted a drive-in Easter service, that allowed people to see the Easter story from their cars.

JUNE- Families in the Issaquah

School District raised enough money, $500,000, to buy their elementary students new science curriculum. The fundraiser was a massive undertaking from the Is-saquah Schools Foundation after the district learned mid-year cuts would keep them from installing all of the lesson plans.

- Darigold was ordered to pay $60,000 to clean up Issaquah Creek after a 2009 ammonia spill. It was a unusual case because the federal government brought charges against the organization.

JULY - Swedish Hospital opened a

55,000 square foot facility in the Issaquah Highlands complete with an emergency room, operat-ing rooms, in-patient care and a full-fledged oncology department.

- Sammamish actor Riley Grif-fiths, 14, starred in a major role in the Hollywood film “Super 8.”

AUGUST- Issaquah High School

celebrated the completion of its rebuild with the performing arts wing, which included a 600-per-son theater.

- Sammamish’s Challenge Day Race celebrated the 30th year it hosted a soapbox derby created to give physically challenged kids a chance to participate in a competitive setting.

- The YWCA Family Village in Issaquah opened to its first ten-ants. The affordable housing units cater to families who make below the median income.

SEPTEMBER- Police shot and killed a

51-year-old man after he alleg-edly walked through downtown pointing rifles menacingly at pe-destrians. He eventually made his way to Clark Elementary, where he died in a shootout with police.

- Sammamish City Council decided to place a moratorium on marijuana gardens until the state clarifies laws about the drugs.

OCTOBER- After the biggest effort

from volunteers in Samma-

mish’s history, the city opened the Evans Creek Preserve, a 180-acre wilderness park.

- Complete with a cistern for water runoff and solar panels Is-saquah’s new fire station opened as the most environmentally sensitive firehouse in the nation.

NOVEMBER- Sammamish police were able

to collect enough evidence to arrest two men who they allege were responsible for hundreds of Eastside home burglaries. Police say the men went door-to-door pretending to be tree trimmers.

- The Occupy movement came to Sammamish with about a 100 local protesters showing their support.

DECEMBER- The Rowley Redevelop-

ment Agreement was ratified at a City Council meeting, which will allow the developer to build 150-foot-high, mixed-use buildings on the valley floor in Issaquah.

- Issaquah’s City Council rejected a request from a major Issaquah developer for $3 million to develop the business district.

Life, growth and tragedies of 2011Left, Jose En-ciso, owner of XXX Rootbeer, won business-man of the year award in Issaquah, after growing up as a migrant farmer.

Paige MacKenzie was recently named Youth of the Year by the Redmond/Sam-mamish Boys & Girls Club.

The program honors service to the club, community and family, academic performance, moral values, life goals, poise and public speaking ability.

Throughout the year, each Boys & Girls Club in King County selects a Youth of the Quarter, and a Youth of the Year is selected from those candidates. The other finalists were Taylor Dixon, Molly Hart and Alex Lambert.

“It is an honor, and I am really excited to go on and represent all the amazing people that work at and attend the Red-mond/Sammamish Boys & Girls Club,” MacKenzie said.

A senior at Eastlake High School, she will attend Western Washington Uni-

versity next fall to pursue a career in nursing.

MacKenzie has been a member of the club for the past 10 years, and her first club experience was as a member of the before- and after-school child care pro-gram at the McAuliffe Elementary site. From there, she graduated into the teen program, spending her summers going on daily field and camping trips.

MacKenzie has been a member of the Redmond/Sammamish Keystone Club, a high school service and leader-ship group, for the past two years and was helped grow its membership. She has also worked as a Boys & Girls Club employee in the athletic and child care departments.

The judges for the competition were Mari Greshowak, community member and Club volunteer; Lynne Handlos, Recreation Coordinator for the City of Sammamish; Redmond/Sammamish Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors President Kristin Pitt; and Debbie Wil-liams, co-chair of the Joshua P. Williams Foundation.

“It was an extremely difficult deci-

sion,” Pitt said. “Each finalist is a pas-sionate, well-spoken, talented individual who has done and we have no doubt will continue to do great things as a leader in their community.”

MacKenzie now moves on to the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County Youth of the Year competition where she will compete against winners from the 13 other King County clubs.

The annual event will be held on Feb. 9, 2012 at Benaroya Hall.

The King County winner will move on to the state competition and potentially the regional and national level.

The national Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year receives up to a $50,000 scholarship and is installed by the Presi-dent of the United States.

The four JV and varsity girls and boys basketball teams at Eastside Catho-lic School organized a toy drive to benefit Starlight Children’s Foundation on Dec. 9.

Students senior Matt Callans, junior Trey Reynolds, senior Joey Schreiber, senior Shelby Newell and senior Shan-non Graves organized the event. Game attendees who brought a toy re-ceived free admission to the game and entry into a raffle.

Since students always get in free to games with their ASB card, they also received entry into the raffle for donating a toy. For the raffle prizes, student organizers pooled together their personal money, nearly $100, to buy prizes.

The result was seven large garbage bags full of toys.

2011 marked another remark-able year for high-school athletics in Issaquah and Sammamish. Here’s The Reporter’s take on the fi ve most memorable athletic accomplishments for Eastlake, Eastside Catholic, Issaquah and Skyline during the year.

EASTLAKEBoys soccer

The Eastlake boys soccer team claimed the program’s third 4A state championship with a 2-0 victory rival Skyline. Brandon McComb and Sean Klauer scored the Wolves’ two goals. The state title marked Eastlake’s fi rst since winning back-to-back champion-ships in 1996 and 1997.

Boys golf

Behind the second- and third-

place performances of Li Wang and Evan Alston, the Eastlake boys golf team placed second in state — only 6.5 points behind champion Bellarmine Prep. Wang fi nished three strokes behind Olympia’s Dom Francks for the individual crown with a two-day total of 71-73 — 144.

Boys swimming

Eastlake freshman Edward Kim won two state titles in the 50 and 100 freestyles and Zach Alleva won a title in the 100 breast-stroke, helping the Wolves to a fi fth-place team fi nish at the 4A swimming and diving champion-ships.

Girls golf

Megan Wotherspoon and Jamie Midkiff combined for 40 points during the 4A state golf tourna-

ment at Downriver Golf Course in Spokane, giving the Wolves an eighth-place overall fi nish.

Football

Ranked among the state’s best teams all season, the Eastlake football team advanced to the state quarterfi nals for third time in school history. With the fi rst ever trip to the semifi nals in their sights, the Wolves were stunned by Lake Stevens, 50-21.

EASTSIDE CATHOLIC

Boys swimming

Ethan Hallowell made state his-tory by becoming the fi rst swim-mer in state history to win eight individual titles over a four-year career. Hallowell, who is cur-

rently swimming at Stanford, set a state record in the 200 freestyle and earned another All-American time in the 100 freestyle.

Volleyball

For the third time in the last four years and the fourth time in school history, the Eastside Catholic volleyball team fi nished second in state. The Crusaders lost in four games to West Val-ley of Yakima — 25-16, 21-25, 25-17, 25-20 — placing second in 3A.

Girls soccer

The Eastside Catholic soc-cer team had its best season in program history, capturing third in the 3A state tournament. The Crusaders fell 1-0 to Liberty in the semifi nals before battling back to beat Meadowdale 1-0 in

the consolation game. Eastside fi nished 13-7-5.

Football

Eastside Catholic stunned ranked Oak Harbor on its home fi eld, 50-33, to return to the 3A state football tournament for the fi rst time since 2008. The Cru-saders drew a tough fi rst-round opponent in nationally-ranked Bellevue, falling 42-0 to the even-tual state champion.

Wrestling

Wrestler Anthony Roy was the only member of his team to place at the state meet, capturing eighth place at 152 pounds. He won two of three matches on the fi rst day to secure the top fi nish.

...obituariesBelle S. Maxwell

Belle S. Maxwell, Trustee and avid supporter of the local Arts and Golf communities.

Born in 1923 and raised in Cape Elizabeth Maine, Belle attended and was an alumni supporter to both Westbrook and Bowdoin College where she was inspired by Maine’s coastal landscapes and rugged beauty. It was there she met and married her husband of 59 years Fred W. Maxwell

until his passing in 2001.After enjoying a hectic but rewarding career as the wife of

a Naval Officer they retired from the Navy in 1962 and the family moved to Seattle to pursue another rewarding career with The Boeing Company. As her family grew and left the fold in the mid-seventies, Belle decided to rekindle her love for art and took several classes at UW in hopes of qualifying for the Docents program at the Seattle Art Museum. She was accepted and went on to be a proud and gifted docent for several years, going on to inspire and mentor others to follow in her footsteps. She joined the Board of Trustees in 1988 and continued to take on other key roles at SAM including the honor of being President of its Board of Trustees from 1996 - 1998.

Life moved on but never slowed down. Belle also held a similar passion for the game of golf and enjoyed a long relationship with Sahalee Country Club where she regularly played with friends and colleagues at least twice a week right up until falling ill. All will miss her dogged determination and beautiful swing!

Belle is survived by her loving family all of whom live here in the Seattle area which includes three sons Fred III (Dee/Gail), Steve (Blanche), Bruce (Cheryl) with seven grandchildren (Christine, Kimberly, Fred IV, Joe, Graham, Stephanie, and Lizzy) and five great grandchildren (Erika, Taylor, Clara, Madie, and Will). She will be missed by her family and all the wonderful friends that knew her.

A Memorial Service and Celebration with be held 2pm Saturday, January 7 at Mercer Island Presbyterian Church.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests a membership or donation to the Seattle Art Museum.”
