The case for ‘yes’Dick L’Heureux has lived in his home in Brookshire Estates since it was built 27-years ago. One of the neighborhoods within the Klahanie Potential Annexation Area (PAA), he and his neighbor, Mike Foss, hope it is annexed to the city of Issaquah.

� e decision goes before voters Feb. 11.

“� e issue is, we identify with the city of Issaquah,” L’Heureux said.

L’Heureux is the president of the Brookshire Estates Homeown-ers Association and Foss is the vice-president. Foss has lived there for about 13 years. L’Heureux was involved in the 2005 annexation

attempt, which failed. In that vote, the ballot measure was split into two parts — one to annex, the other to assume the bonded indebt-edness of Issaquah. � e second part brought it down.

“We were blind-sided then,” L’Heureux said.

� is time only annexation is on the ballot.

“How o� en do you move to a city and say ‘I don’t use that park so I’m not going to pay for it?’” Foss asked.

� e two point out that Issaquah is already built out. It has its infra-structure in place – the hatchery, the theater, and is an “outstanding community,” they said.

Taxes are the big issue. L’Heureux and Foss said they used actual levy rates for Issaquah, Sammamish and King County and did a com-

parison. � e study done by Nesbitt Planning last year used $320,000 as an average single family residence value, but both men said $500,000 is more accurate now.

Students, supporters and alumni of East-side Catholic School have delivered more than 21,000 petition signatures to Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain in support of former vice-principal Mark Zmuda, who was � red Dec. 19 when it was revealed he had married his gay partner last summer.

“Please listen to the students at Eastside Catholic and reinstate their vice principal,” the petition reads. “If Pope Francis says he won’t judge gays and lesbians, you shouldn’t be � ring them.”

� e same petition was delivered to the administration at Eastside Catholic School. It was written by a group called Faithful America and signed by people from all over the world.

Mary Helen Nuxoll Kopczynski, class of 1996 and the school’s � rst female student body president, now lives in New York, but is very involved.

“� e alumni group is well over 300 strong,” she said. “It’s not going to get any less disruptive.”

� e priest at St. Joseph Parish in Seattle, John Whitney, has deemed the students at Eastside Catholic “the orange and blue apostles,” a� er the school’s colors.

Local alumni organizer, Corey Sinser, spoke at the demonstration in front of the

Sartain’s o� ce, pleading for him to start a dialogue with them.

“� e year is 2014 – it’s time to stop � ring teachers for being gay,” Sinser said. “To echo our pope, the church is for all.”

� e school’s alumni has set up a Facebook page called, “Sister Mary, please resign,” referring to Sister Mary Tracy, the school’s president and CEO. � e issue has been discussed on CNN’s Anderson Cooper show. Kopczynski said they’ve contacted the Stephen Colbert show.

“� e truth is the only card they (admin-istration) have is pretending it’s out of their

hands, but everyone knows it wasn’t,” Kopczyn-ski said.

She is referring to the school’s administra-tion blaming it on the archdiocese. However, on the archdiocese’s website, under Catholic Schools, it speci� cally states of Eastside Catholic, “this school is a Catholic insti-tution that is separately incorporated and is not part of the Corporation of the Catholic Arch-bishop of Seattle. It is not sponsored, directed, administered or managed by the Archbishop of Seattle or his delegates.”

Kopczynski said they want Sister Mary to resign. She is puzzled since Stephanie Merrow, part-time theater director at the

school, announced she was gay and plan-ning to marry her partner of � ve years next summer. Merrow was given a new contract, which Merrow said is a “consulting agree-ment,” plus they gave her a raise.

Kopczynski said she knows for certain that two teachers who were at EC for decades were Jewish.

“How are they supposed to follow Catholic doctrine?,” she queried, since the school � red Zmuda for not following Catholic doctrine.

“We alumni are in our 40s now and we’re not afraid to spend some capital,” she said.

� e alumni association has set up four committees to deal with the situation: one

which wants to change church doctrine, one which addresses concerns of the LGBT community, a wrongful termination com-mittee and a poor leadership committee that is concerned about bad decisions.

“� ey � red 17 teachers in 2010 for want-ing a grievance policy, and they were all given $7,000 to stay quiet,” Kopczynski said. “We are the crusaders, we are the product of this school and we don’t agree. I’m having a tough time understanding these weird unilateral, dark decisions.”

In addition, Kopczynski said the alumni want to see the school’s board include two parents, two teachers and two alumni, not just “rich people.”

She said the school’s attorney, Michael Patterson, donated $90,000 to the school and he is also the attorney for the archdio-cese, which would seem to be a con� ict of interest.

At Wednesday’s demonstration, Kirby Brown, who attends St. Mary’s Parish in Seattle, said he was at the event to support Zmuda, but more so the students.

“It’s more than a spark, they started a � restorm,” Brown said.

Jason Pustek came all the way from Gig Harbor.

“If Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be in Sartain’s o� ce, he’d be out here with us,” Pustek said.

An even larger event is scheduled for Jan. 31, which is part of National Catholic Schools Week. An event in a neutral location, yet to be determined, will include a celebrity panel and include several Catholic and non-Catholic schools.

“If she’d (Tracy) admit she made a mistake and brought him (Zmuda) back, we’d let it go,” Kopczynski said.

Federal Consumer Protection has confirmed thefuel savings described in this advertisement.

Why does Federal Consumer Protectiondisagree so vehemently with Consumer Reportson the effectiveness of the Platinum Gas Saver?

Washington - Consumer Reportsaccepts the conventional wisdom,promoted by the oil companies,that 95% of the fuel burns insidethe average gasoline engine.

Federal Consumer Protectiondisagrees. Test data by the EPAand Champion Spark Plug provethat the average engine burns only68% of your fuel. The remaining32% is simply thrown away.

In addition Consumer Protectionconfirms that economic quantitiesof platinum added to the air fuelmixture as supplied by thePlatinum Gas Saver will increasemiles per gallon by 22% because theplatinum catalyzes 22% more of each

gallon to burn inside your engine.In addition, the Gas Saver has

received patents for cleaning out theabrasive carbon and raising octane,making the higher cost gasolinesunnecessary for most vehicles.

Joe Robinson, the developer,commented: “Since the governmentconcluded its study, we have solda half million Gas Savers. To oursurprise, more people buy the GasSaver because it extends enginelife by cleaning out the abrasivecarbon than buy it to raise octaneor to increase gas mileage.”For further information call:

�e Sammamish City Council put a six-month moratorium on homeless encamp-ments Tuesday night to give the council, city sta� and the community time to develop permanent regulations.

�e moratorium ended Tent City 4’s 90-day stay as of Saturday, Jan. 18.

�e decision came as police and sheri� ’s deputies arrested a Tent City resident Jan. 9 for felony possession of narcotics. �e 38-year-old man was found carrying a pipe used to smoke methamphetamine. A small amount of methamphetamine was found in the pipe.

A�er his arrest, police say the man claimed to have sold methamphetamine to 12 residents of Tent City 4 earlier that day. A search of his tent turned up no additional drugs.

Another man, age 22, will also be charged with felony narcotics possession. He was arrested on Dec. 18 when he stopped by the Sammamish Police station to obtain previ-ously con�scated items upon being kicked out of Tent City 4. He had small baggie of methamphetamine in his jacket pocket.

“Our o�cers have been monitoring Tent City 4 from the beginning,” Sammamish Po-lice Chief Nate Elledge told the council Jan. 14. “Up until recently, most of the incidents we followed up on were relatively minor. But here at the end of their stay, we encountered some serious issues.”

Elledge said the department responded to 30 calls during the three months, with 15 calls in the �rst two months and 15 more calls in the last month. Elledge said calls did increase when the 30-day extension was granted, but they are unsure as to why.

�e 30 instances included �ve disturbance calls, a missing person call, a warrant arrest and a narcotic investigation. �e city said that while following up on reports that drugs were being used and sold inside Tent City 4, Sammamish police, with the help of detec-tives from the Sheri� ’s O�ce, conducted an investigation that resulted in the arrests of the two men.

City manager Ben Yazici said it’s unfor-tunate that some residents decided to break Tent City 4’s internal code of conduct, but that he was proud of the results the Sam-mamish police produced.

Tent City 4 set up camp at Mary Queen of Peace Church on Oct. 19, and a�er 60-days, received a 30-day extension so it could remain during the holiday season.

While there was legitimate talk of Good Samaritan Episcopal Church hosting Tent City 4 following their departure from Mary Queen of Peace, Good Samaritan backed out suddenly for unknown reasons.

Good Samaritan had held an emergency meeting on Jan. 9 and Rev. Suzi Robertson said that church leadership voted unani-mously to host Tent City 4, stating, “Good Samaritan is making plans with city o�cials, and a wealth of support from the broader community to be Tent City 4’s next host.” However, four days later it pulled the request. Rev. Robertson said she couldn’t comment on the matter.

“�e di�culty and challenge as we go forward is that we haven’t engaged the com-munity in the regulations,” Yazici said. “I think the church, our community and the city council deserve credit for their generous spirit. We took our turn and handled it as well as we could.”

Yazici said he hopes the problems dis-covered at the Sammamish encampment

won’t keep Tent City from �nding another location.

“Although the leadership of Tent City 4 clearly has some work to do, I trust that ev-eryone’s good e�orts will lead to better days ahead,” Yazici said.

Other council members spoke up about the positivity that Tent City 4 had brought to the community.

“Tent City has been a wonderful expe-rience for the city,” deputy mayor Kathy Huckabay said. “�e concern I’m sure the community has is where Tent City is going to go and whether we are forcing them out.”

Huckabay also said that she thinks taking the six-month moratorium will give the city some much-needed time to organize.

“I look forward to getting through that process and having the opportunity to have you back,” Huckabay said, speaking to the Tent City members.

Council member Nancy Whitten echoed that view, stating that the city needs to make room for more a�ordable housing options,

but in a way that is equitable to all parties.“I wanted to say thank you for coming.

You have contributed a lot to the com-munity,” Whitten said. “We do need to get our ducks in order and make it fair to the neighbors and �gure out what’s best for the community.”

Council members were in agreement about completing the moratorium as soon as possible.

“We do need to give our residents the opportunity to weigh in,” Council member Tom Odell said. “We need to give some thought as to how we deal with all of this. But I would be in favor of trying to get this thing done as soon as possible.”

Members of Tent City 4 spoke at the meeting, thanking the city and community for being welcoming and supportive. �ey said that they wish Issaquah, Woodinville or Redmond would invite them to stay, but they have not. �ey are unsure where they will be going next, but they assured the council that they would be out of Sammamish by Jan. 18.

Sammamish adopts moratorium on homeless encampments

Eastside Friends of Se-niors has begun the search for a new administrator. �e nonpro�t, founded in 1997, provides assistance to older residents in the com-munity to help them main-tain their independence. �e organizations o�ces are located in the basement of the Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Sam-mamish.

Executive Director Claire Petersky resigned her posi-tion a�er guiding fundrais-ing activities for the past �ve years. She plans to travel to Asia, where she will be exploring vari-ous cultures and religious landmarks.

“I am immensely proud of what Eastside Friends of Seniors has achieved in these �ve years, and I am tremendously grateful that I have been able to play a central part in its evolution and success” said Petersky. “�ere is much to cel-ebrate.”

In her years with Eastside Friends, Petersky expanded services to include not only

Sammamish and Issaquah, but also communities throughout the Snoqualmie Valley and Bellevue. She also coordinated the group’s name change from Faith in Action in order to better describe the mission of the organization. Petersky was honored with a Commu-nity Choice Award in 2011 for recruiting and training more than 100 volunteers to serve the needs of more than 900 seniors.

Petersky will remain at her post until a new direc-tor is hired and trained to replace her. �e job is currently posted on the organization website at

http://eastsidefriendsofse-niors.org/about/careers. A description of the duties and responsibilities can be downloaded at http://tinyurl.com/kfq6td7.

Resumes and cover let-ters will be accepted until Jan. 21 at [email protected].

QUOTE

OF NOTE

‘No’ on annexationwould give time to decide on options

I would like to clear up some issues brought forth in a rebuttal statement to my earlier letter.

It is only conjecture that King County would serve us better than Sammamish. It is true that Issaquah relies more on sales taxes than Sammamish, which relies on property taxes. Sales taxes are a� ected by recessions. Sammamish stayed strong dur-ing the recent downturn, while Issaquah had to cut back essential services during that period.

I fully appreciate Mr. L'Heureux and his Brookshire neighbors have a strong attachment to Issaquah since their children attend Issaquah High School. Many of us in Klahanie feel like we are a neighborhood of Sammamish since our children go to Skyline High School.

I suggested to the Boundary Review Board that Issaquah delay this election to consider the possibility of changing the annexation boundaries to the high school boundaries. � is idea would allow Brook-shire to annex to Issaquah and Klahanie and neighborhoods to the north can look

at Sammamish. Both Issaquah and Sammamish are well

established cities. Sammamish is recog-nized as one of the top residential cities in America by Money Magazine.

� ere is strong sentiment for voting No on Issaquah Annexation so we can fully evaluate the whole situation and determine the best future for the entire annexation area. So many of us look to Sammamish as our future. I agree that voters carefully consider the facts.

Tom Harman, KlahanieTom Harman is a commissioner of the

Sammamish Plateau Water & Sewer Dis-trict. � e opinions are his and don't re� ect the views of the district.

'Yes' votehelps residents

I would like remind my neighbors on the Plateau that there will be an important election on Feb. 11 about the annexation of the area known as the Klahanie PAA into the city of Issaquah.

A vote of “yes” on the measure promises to bring lower property taxes to the area and will provide the Plateau with many badly needed services not provided by King County.

A vote of “no” will keep the area in unin-corporated King county, things will remain the same – essentially “taxation without

representation.” I should warn you that a few days before

the vote you can expect to see a � ood of misinformation about this election; those against, will try to cast doubt about the annexation. Don’t listen to them, study the issues and then decide for yourself.

I’ve lived on the Plateau for over 25

years. I like Issaquah and want it to be my city. Issaquah has many desirable features for a city: stores, restaurants, theaters, a modern hospital, a post o� ce, parks, and much more.

I will vote “yes” on the annexation and I urge you to do the same.

Butch DeVun, Issaquah

LETTERS

Let me start this column by urging your support for the upcoming Issaquah School District levies. On behalf of the local and regional business community, the Issaquah

Chamber of Commerce is proud to o� er its full endorsement and complete support for the three school levies on the ballot this February.

� e Issaquah School District continues to be among the

highest performing in the state and there is little doubt that local investment in local education is among the best way a com-munity can support its youth and local economy. Strong schools mean healthy families, bright futures and a strong local economy. Let’s keep this going for Is-saquah’s students and our community. Vote yes on the Issaquah school levies.

Now, let me turn to some observations about the future of business and education.

Across the nation, we are seeing relatively unprecedented engagement with, and partnership between, the business and education communities. � e winning communities of the future will have this partnership down to a “science.” Nobody knows this more than chambers of commerce.

Chambers are engaging in a myriad of education/business partnerships. And they must. � e talent level of a local work-force is probably the de� ning factor, next to a pro-business regulatory climate, in whether a business will invest jobs in a community or move on to greener pastures.

� e gaps are clear. Internships. Workforce training. Youth un(and under)employment. Critical thinking skills. Academic rigor. Entrepreneurial training. Di� erent communities will have di� erent needs and di� erent responses. In Issaquah, career-pathways is a big topic.

Locally, our work mirrors this trend in business-education

partnerships. � is May, the chamber’s Education Commit-tee, led by the talented Cornell Atwater of LearningRX, in collaboration with the school district, schools foundation and others, will hold our second Great Careers event. � e program helps hundreds of local students identify meaningful career pathways that match their skills and ambitions.

Another area is internship programs. In Issaquah alone there are hundreds of businesses that could (and many do) provide real-world experience to local students as a part of their development. � e notable work of Superior Seconds, a downtown locally-owned sporting goods store, which men-tors middle and high school students and engages in commu-nity youth drug prevention e� orts, is just one example. And regionally, the more we can attack the skills gap – particularly in science, technology, engineering and math – through dy-namic, innovative business-education partnerships, the more successful we will be.

Meaningful business-education partnerships, be they in the form of workforce development, career readiness or entrepre-neur training, is a welcome trend and valuable tool for com-munity advancement. Vote "yes" on the levies in February, and join us in helping our kids succeed and our community thrive in months and years to follow.

Matthew Bott is the chief executive o� cer of the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce. He writes on topics regarding the local/regional economy and community leadership.

School levy today, business-education partnerships in future

Sports RoundupNews and notes in sports and recreation

No changes with latest count� e WIAA released classi� cation

numbers for its next two-year cycle, 2014-16, and there were no changes among Issaquah-Sammamish area schools.

� e cuto� for Class 4A was 1,252.4 stu-dents, and the number used does not re� ect students who attend a program outside of their attendance area, such as STEM.

Issaquah and Skyline were well within the 4A boundary, with the Eagles counting 1,464.2 and the Spartans at 1,452.

Eastlake counted at 1,168.8, which meant it could have dropped to compete in Class 3A athletics. But athletic direct Pat Bangas-ser said that was never considered, and the amount of success the Wolves have enjoyed in team and individual sports has them con� dent they will be able to continue to compete for state spots and league titles while opting-up.

“Our coaches wanted to stay in 4A with natural rivalries, and we think we can com-pete at the 4A level,” he said. “I got input from coaches, our principle, and I made the � nal decision.”

Eastlake reached the state quarter� -nals in football before losing to eventual runner-up Camas, and could become the home of the state’s second eight-time indi-vidual title winner in swim and dive when senior Edward Kim hits the pool later this season. � e boys golf team won the state championship in 2013 and the girls earned

a third-place � nish.

with Eastside FC 98 Red, earned a spot in a Regional Olympic Development Program tournament for Region IV.

� e ODP hosts tournaments, camps and events to identify players for U.S. Soccer.

Sammamish resident Molly Monroe, a goalkeeper withe 98 Red team, was one of the � nalists for the US Youth Soccer Save of the Year.

� e 98 Red team will travel to Las Vegas in March with the hope of qualifying for the US Youth Soccer National Champion-ship Series.

Jim Rockstad, an Issaquah resident and the former manager of Seattle International Raceway, which later changed its name to Paci� c Raceways, is part of a group that will be inducted into the National Hot Rod Association Division 6 Hall of Fame.

Rockstad will go into the hall as part of the same � ve-man team that won a 1965 race in Oregon many credit with helping legitimize Paci� c Northwest drag racing.

� e race gave Rockstad and his North-wind team the Drag News Number One Fuel Race title at the time.

� e induction ceremony is scheduled for Jan. 11 at the Seatac Marriott.

Issaquah head coach Jason Gri� th knows his team has done nearly all it could through the � rst half of the 4A KingCo bas-ketball season, posting a 6-1 mark ahead of tonight’s game against Newport.

But that doesn’t mean he is satis� ed. “I don’t feel like we’re playing our best

basketball yet,” he said.Even if his team hasn’t begun to reach its

peak, the Eagles have situated themselves nicely for a run at a season that reaches beyond the conference tournament, some-thing that has happened only once since the 2004-05 season.

While his team has won its last three games by no fewer than nine points and by an average of 12, Gri� th said early season wins over Roosevelt and Ballard should pay dividends down the stretch.

“We’ve had a couple of grinders,” he said. “� ey were games that weren’t very pretty to watch. But it is nice our kids have the ability to play that style if needed.”

EC enjoying breakout season Eastside Catholic beat Seattle Prep

for the second time this season Tuesday, escaping with a 49-48 win and sending the Crusaders’ conference mark to 7-2.

� e Crusaders face Lakeside, which they defeated 90-54 earlier this month, tonight

in Seattle.

Eastlake � ghting for position � e Wolves picked up an 81-76 win over

Plateau rival Skyline Tuesday, moving their 4A KingCo record to 4-3 ahead of next week’s matchup with Gar� eld.

Skyline facing tough road Skyline had won three straight before

falling to the Wolves, and faces Gar� eld tonight. With another game against the Bulldogs to close the season, and contests against Issaquah and Redmond also re-maining, the Spartans have no easy path to a conference tournament spot.

“I think it will be a multi-jurisdictional e� ort to widen it,” Foss said. “I think that’s de� nitely on King County and Issaquah’s lists.”

Both men acknowledge that a large part of the PAA borders Sammamish, but the Klahanie PAA started develop-ing in the early ‘90s when the Growth Management Act was created to provide structure to growth. Sammamish didn’t incorporate until 1999.

“We’re not anti-Sammamish, we just don’t identify with that as where we live,” L’Heureux said.

Foss said he doesn’t really see that Sammamish has reached out and said they wanted the PAA until recently, whereas Issaquah has funded two studies costing thousands of dollars on annexation of the areas.

“Issaquah has been interested in us for 10 years,” Foss said. As far as assuming Issaquah’s debt, they say, sure, Issaquah

has debt, but the city has been around for 100 years. � ey say by design Sammamish is an area of resident taxpayers, but when it starts building more infrastructure, it will be on the backs of taxpayers. And, they feel that if business in Sam-mamish picks up, it will create a B&O tax, just like Issaquah.

Issaquah has said it will hire � ve more police o� cers if the area is annexed, but some say Issaquah is already under-sta� ed on police.

“I can’t imagine they’re going to spend that kind of money (for the o� cers) if they’re going to keep them on the valley � oor,” Foss said.

Foss said once when he called to report on suspicious activity, the sheri� deputy who responded had to come all the way from Edmonds.

“I’m absolutely certain our police coverage will be greatly improved,” Foss said. “I think there’s a real good chance they’ll put a couple of o� cers at Eastside Fire and Rescue’s station 83 (which is the closest to the PAA).”

As regards � re coverage, EFR will still be there, and L’Heureux said EFR has been very supportive.

The case for ‘no’Don Gerend is a former mayor of Sammamish and is on the

City Council, but he also is representing a group called Klah-anie Choice. Gerend has lived in the Pine Lake neighborhood since 1979 and has been on the city council of Sammamish since the city incorporated in 1999.

� e Klahanie PAA was not part of the Sammamish incor-poration because its board couldn’t decide if it wanted to be part of a new city. It also may have been concerned because an early ‘90s vote to incorporate Sammamish failed.

� e Klahanie board said in 2002 that it wanted to be part of Sammamish, and that a May 6, 2002 Memorandum of Understanding said Issaquah agreed to release the area from the PAA. Issaquah reads the memorandum di� erently.

In the 2005 Issaquah annexation attempt, Gerend told the state Boundary Review Board that it didn’t make sense geographically or socially to join Issaquah since most of the kids in the PAA went to schools in Sammamish.

Regarding roads, Gerend said Sammamish did a deprecia-tion schedule many years ago on all of its roads, concluding the city needed to have $3 million a year for road mainte-nance, which it has maintained.

“We would do the same thing for Klahanie,” he said. “We’d set up a schedule — it might be $800,000 a year but that’s what we’d do. I dare you to � nd a pothole in Sammamish.”

He said Sammamish has $70 million in the bank and no bonded indebtedness. Responding to the concern that

Sammamish will eventually burden taxpayers with debt, he said the city had debt — $2 million to create the lower Sam-mamish Commons, which it paid o� . � e city is spending $25 million of its savings for the new community center. Sammamish charges developers impact fees because, he said, growth should pay for itself.

“We’re not going to increase debt, because we pay it o� ,” he said. He said if the PAA were to annex to Sammamish, the city has the funds on-hand to make the tra� c and safety improvements to Issaquah-Fall City Road.

“Transportation-wise, we’re motivated — Issaquah is not,” Gerend said.

Sammamish is one of six cities in Washington to have a triple A bond rating, Gerend pointed out. Also it does not charge its taxpayers a utility tax.

Per calculations by Klahanie Choice, which used the $320,000 example from the Nesbitt study for property value, if Klahanie were to annex to Sammamish it would save a homeowner $532 per year over what they’re paying King County, and $619 if annexed to Issaquah, a di� erence of $87.

Klahanie Choice says the addition of � ve extra patrol of-� cers actually results in a net decline of police coverage for Issaquah, spreading the force even thinner than it is.

“� is is the far extremity of Issaquah,” Gerend said. “If you look at Sammamish we’re already patrolling its perimeter.”

Sammamish’s police force is made up of King County deputies. Gerend said the advantage to using county deputies is they have access to their SWAT teams and helicopters. He pointed out that Sammamish is the eighth safest city in the U.S. and in 50 years there has not been a homicide on the plateau. Gerend said if Sammamish did annex the PAA, it would hire at least six more deputies.

� e Sammamish City Council passed a resolution Jan. 7 to fast-track the annexation and merging process if annexation to Issaquah doesn’t pass. He said if Issaquah does not release the PAA from its comprehensive plan in the event of a “no” vote, the citizens of Sammamish and King County can go to the boundary review board and the Growth Management Planning Council and ask them to release it.

Furthermore, Gerend said if the Issaquah annexation is defeated, Sammamish wouldn’t oppose Brookshire and the other neighborhoods south of Southeast 48th Street petition-ing to be part of Issaquah. He noted that Aldarra Estates and Montaine neighborhoods in east Sammamish annexed to Sammamish by petition.

The map of the Klahanie PAA illustrates where its boundaries are with respect to Issaquah and Sammamish.

ISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER PRESENTS . . .

BY JOHN [email protected]

When Seattle Seahawks tight end Zach Miller got a phone call from a friend and former college teammate, he didn’t think much about the simple act of signing a football and some Seahawks merchandise and sticking them in the mail.

� e call came from Cincinnati Bengals guard Mike Pollak, who played with Miller at Arizona State. Pollak had heard from his wife about Dave and Kristina Quick, Seahawks fans with newborn twins, one of whom was at Seattle Children’s Hospital following multiple surgeries.

Kristina Quick and Kristi Pollak had attended physical therapy school together and Kristi suggested to her hus-band that they reach out to the Millers, whose wife, Ashley, had recently given birth to twins.

On the other end of that gesture, Dave Quick came

home from a two-day stint at the hospital where his son Franklin had recently undergone open-heart surgery, opened a mysterious package on his front porch and shed a few tears.

“I still have trouble putting into words the feeling that I had. Our life was the hospital, every day, all day,” Quick said.

� e best part about this story – and the reason Dave Quick felt compelled to reach out to a reporter to tell it – is that the kindness and caring shown the Quicks is not all that unusual.

“I can de� nitely relate to anyone who has twins or premature babies,” said Miller, whose twin girls were born seven weeks early and spent three weeks in the NICU at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland.

� e Seahawks roster is full of people who understand

they can make a much bigger impact o� the � eld than on it. Soon, Russell and Ashton Wilson included Franklin’s room on one of their weekly visits.

“It’s just a special thing for me, and it’s one of those things where they don’t realize how much they give to me,” Wilson said. “It gives you a tremendous amount of perspective. When you have a kid who’s 8-years-old who wants to be able to play football, but he can’t because he has a bone problem, or a brain tumor, or something like that. — it’s unfortunate. You just want to give them hope and let them know you’re praying for them.”

Wilson and so many Seahawks understand that they can be more to fans than just Sunday entertainment.

John Boyle is Sports Editor of � e Herald in Everett.

� e issue has been contentious because Issaquah has also been considering assum-ing water and sewer services provided by the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District to customers within it’s borders since at least 2011. Issaquah had cited its “exper-tise, knowledge and the skills — and a bigger picture focus on land use and need than the district does.”

“While there are varying viewpoints on this issue, we agree to focus our resources on quality service and not litigation,” said Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler.

Krauss agreed, saying that it is important for the two units of government to work together rather than pursue separate courses that are independent of one another.

� e agreement requires the parties to ne-gotiate an interlocal agreement. A dra� will be prepared no later than Feb. 18, with � nal action expected by March 17.

If Issaquah determines that it still wants to assume areas the district serves in the city within the next 10 years, it would only do so with the district’s consent. Within three years, the city and the district, along with Sammamish, will discuss governance and delivery options for utility services.

Issaquah further agreed not to re-commission the LRIG or inject or in� ltrate storm water at the LRIG without written approval from the district. Issaquah also agreed to withdraw its application to the DOE for state waste discharge permit within 10 days of the execution of the interlocal agreement.

Additionally, the district will remove the link to its website, www.letstalkaboutwater.org.
