� e Issaquah Philharmonic Orchestra is one of Is-saquah’s best kept secrets.

It was formed in July 2012, evolving from the Issaquah Chamber Orchestra.

“We started playing more complex pieces, so we changed the name,” said June Allison, vice-president of the newly formed nonpro� t, and also second violin.

� e group also has a new conductor, Chase Chang, tak-ing over from Duane Bowen, a retired college music pro-fessor who decided it was time to pass the baton. Chang served as an interim conductor before taking over in June.

Originally from Puyallup, Chang and his family live in Renton, but he is in his � rst year as the orchestra teacher at Bellevue High School, a� er teaching at Tyee Middle School. Chang also teaches at a few of Bellevue’s elemen-tary schools.

He found out about the opening with the Issaquah Phil-harmonic on Henry Bischo� erger’s Facebook page.


� ere are many forces at play when it comes to the annexation of Klahanie to the city of Issaquah, including � re service, water service and as-suming city debt.

A memorandum of under-standing dated May 6, 2002, signed by o� cials with the cities of Issaquah and Sam-mamish, states that the city of Issaquah agreed to initiate an amendment to its compre-hensive plan to remove all or part of Klahanie as a potential annexation area to the city of Issaquah.

At that same time, Rav Gilmore, then city of Sam-mamish community develop-ment director, said the purpose of the memorandum (consid-eration by Issaquah to amend the annexation areas), was to acknowledge that no one can proceed without public pro-cess, and that it did not � nalize the potential annexation areas.

On Aug. 5, 2002, the Is-saquah City Council, based on the recommendation of Issaquah’s Planning Policy Commission, agreed to keep

HUGE END OF SUMMER PLANT SALEIssaquah, Washington:Oh my gosh, it’s already September and we have way too many plants here! They have to go! We don’t have room to keep them all winter. Lucky for you, this beautiful fall weather is the best time to get them settled into your yard.

We have a lot of big one-gallon size plants priced at just $4.97 including about 10 different kinds of trees, at least 15 varieties of shrubs, and over 20 different flavors of perennials.

My favorite is the Japanese Maples. These are 2 to 3 ft tall, with big roots. They are seedlings of mama Japanese Red Maple and papa Coral Bark Maple. Some have deep red leaves, some have red trunks and stems, and some have red edges around bright green leaves. Some are saplings, some are very fully branched. Every one is an individual, and all are just a wonderful deal at only $4.97.

We have lots of trees for $4.97. If you are looking for flowering trees, we’ve got ‘em. Put in an Eastern Redbud, a Chinese Dogwood and a Pink Flowering Dogwood tree and you’ll have flowers on your trees all spring long. I really like that Pink Dogwood. Big pink and white spring blooms last for weeks, and it’s the right size for a smaller yard, and it has such a nice shape all year round. I wonder where else you are going to find 3 ft tall trees for $4.97.

Oh, and Paperbark Birch. These little guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do fine in that soggy area, and they don’t much care how much sun there is. These look great in clumps of 3, and they are very fast growing.

If you are in a hurry, the Curly Willows add a

couple of feet a year, too. I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and sometimes we grow way too many. All these trees should be priced more than $20 and I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts!

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll likely turn their noses up at these. And on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself? Not as easy as it looks. Ours have been growing in their pots for over a year, so they have big strong root systems and we know that they’ll work for you.

We’ve got Catherine Woodberry Pink Daylilies, and four or five different varieties of Coral Bells, and Ego Siberian Iris. They’re all $4.97, and they look great together.

Also for $4.97 we have Minor Black Weigelas and Variegated Weigelas, Neon Flash Spireas and Gold Mound Spireas. These grow quick, but not too big, and have lots and lots of flowers in spring and early summer.

Let’s see, what else can we find for you for $4.97? How about Pink Hydrangeas and Nikko Blue Hydrangeas and even Oak Leaf Hydrangeas? I love those Oak Leafs, with the flowers that change from white to pink, and that cool peeling bark in winter.

Have you ever seen Miniature Roses? These are really hardy because they are grown on their

own roots. The flowers on these are bright red, and when they get going, they just get covered with blossoms. Great in containers or even as a ground cover. You don’t see that every day.

And come see the Rose of Sharon – three kinds, and all deer resistant! These beauties bloom from August until frost. Ardens has blue double blooms, Lucy has double rose pink flowers, Blue Satin has big blue blossoms with a wine colored center. We’ve got one in the front yard so you can see what it looks like all grown up.

I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

We’ve also got Dwarf Fountain Grass, and PeeGee Hydrangeas, Purple Smoke Bush, and Variegated Red Twig Dogwood. Lots of perennials – Emerald and Gold Wintercreeper, Sedum, Hostas, Ice Dance Grass, and who knows what else is out there. Whatever it is, it’s $4.97.

We have some really special Magnolias - three different kinds. The Royal Star Magnolia trees are about 3 ft tall, nice and full with lots of branches. These are just covered with fragrant fluffy white flowers in spring, and a steal at $19.97. And we also have Jane and Betty Magnolias. These can be large shrubs or small trees, with big showy pink or pinky-purple flowers for a long blooming season in spring. These are $9.97, but not for long.

We have a couple of big 5 ft Stewartia trees. Never heard of Stewartia? Google it! Heck, you can even Google it on your phone, right? Check

it out and prepare to fall in love.

We also have some really nice Chinese Tree Lilacs for $19.97. Come look at these. They are about 3 ft tall, and really full. Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Oregon.

And Beacon Hill Dwarf Cedars of Lebanon. These look like those big Alaskan Cedars that have that nice narrow column shape with the weepy top, but these Beacon Hills only get to about 10 ft tall. They are really nice next to a building or a deck, ‘cause they stay narrow.

Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got three kinds of very special Japanese Maples. Crimson Queen and Tamukeyama are that beautiful low weeping form, and Lion’s Head are upright and really bold. These are all $39.97 for big 2–3 ft trees.

You get the idea. Come on over SATURDAY and SUNDAY September 14 – 15 and September 21 – 22 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.)

There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants.

Okay? Good. See you this weekend!

(Phone number? There is no way I can answer the phone at the same time as I talk to people about these plants. Just come on out. I promise it will be worth it.)

The survival rate from cardiac arrest in King County has reached an all-time high of 57 percent, according to a new report released by King County Executive Dow Constantine. Most other parts of the nation have survival rates that hover around 10 percent.

“People are alive today in King County who would not have survived in most other places in the country,” Constantine said. “Our EMS/Medic One system deliv-ers rapid, high-quality critical care wherever you are.”

The Emergency Medical Services (EMS)/Medic One 2013 Annual Report highlights this achievement and other activities that place the EMS/Medic One system among the world’s best.

In 2012, the EMS system in King County responded to 172,700 calls to 911, including 48,010 for advanced life support (ALS), the most serious or life-threatening injuries and illnesses. The average medic unit response time stayed steady at 7.5 minutes.

“Survival from cardiac arrest is the signature of qual-ity for any EMS/Medic One system, and we continue to set the standard,” said Dr. David Fleming, Direc-tor and Health Officer for Public Health – Seattle and King County. King County’s cardiac survival rate has increased from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to

57 percent today.The King County EMS/Medic One system is man-

aged by the Emergency Medical Services Division of Public Health – Seattle and King County, and relies on a close partnership of thousands of professionals with

fire departments, paramedic agencies, EMS dispatch centers, and hospitals to provide emergency care and save lives.

Although building a new skate park and repurposing the existing facility didn't make it onto the $10 million park bond that will be on the November ballot, the Issaquah City Council voted to move forward with including a new park in the 2014 budget.

Parks and Recreation Man-ager Brian Berntsen said this has been a priority since 2010.

�e secluded location of the existing skate park has encouraged not-so-savory activity a�er dark, and during school breaks. Drug users and homeless youths tend to frequent the park, which discourages kids who actually want to skate from using the venue.

Berntsen said the new park will be built on city property, yet to be identi�ed. Cost is estimated at $350,000 with $200,000 of the cost coming from the parks mitigation fund. �e remainder will come from the real estate excise tax fund. A total of $50,000 is needed for demoli-

tion and repurposing the old park, which was built in 1997.

�e next step will be for the park board and the mayor to establish a citizen's advi-sory committee consisting of both park board members, perhaps representatives from the Issaquah School District and members of the skating

community.�e committee will hold

three public meetings. �e vision is to have the skate park in a highly visible area, have it be accessible for teens and pre-teens, designed to accommodate all levels of skaters and be safe and family-friendly.

Council member Tola Marts said it's important to have bowls for the skaters. He was thrilled to see this issue move forward.

"�is unleashes a lot of enthusiasm," he said.

People can share their ideas and thoughts on Twitter at #isskate.

Marenakos Rock Center in Issaquah will hold a seminar on how to create natural habitats from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20.

David Jensen from Native Green Landscapes, Kelly Brenner who blogs at �e Metropolitan Field Guide, and Ellen Schmid from Marenakos will discuss di�erent aspects of doing a project.

Schmid will talk about the Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary Program through the Department of Fish and Wildlife, which is an informative program to help people manage wildlife around their property. �e program is designed to help o�set the habitat loss of many native wildlife species, promoting the concept that every owner is also a habitat manager.

Jensen will share some of his projects creat-ing sustainable landscapes with native plants. He has been a general contractor since 1983 and a full-time landscaper since 2004. Brenner will discuss her blog topics, which include ideas, thoughts and resources for the design of urban wildlife habitats. She/he has a degree in landscape architecture from the University of Oregon. She is also a contributor to the Native Plants and Wildlife Blog and provides pol-linator research for the Pollinator Pathway in Seattle.

Sandwich lunch will be provided by Mare-nakos. However, people with speci�c dietary needs should bring their own lunch.

Marenakos is located at 30250 SE High Point Way.

the potential annexation agreement in the city’s compre-hensive plan and fund a � scal study of the annexation.

� e Sammamish City Council passed a resolution by a 6-0 vote on June 11 this year, stating its interest in annexa-tion of Klahanie and other incorporated neighborhoods in the annexation area if Issaquah fails in its current e� ort to annex the area. On Sept. 4, the city of Sammamish sent a letter to the King County Boundary Review Board with its o� cial position that the city wishes to explore annexation if Issaquah is unsuccessful, said Sammamish Mayor, Tom Odell.

“Klahanie should have a choice,” Odell said.� e issue comes before the review board Sept. 18.Sammamish Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama believes

residents of Klahanie are concerned about water quality, � re service and debt if the area is annexed to Issaquah.

Sammamish is debt-free, whereas Issaquah is not, al-though a study completed by consultants Tom Nesbitt and Cynthia Stewart concluded that with annexation, Klah-anie’s levy rate is expected to drop, which would result in the owner of a home assessed at $320,000 paying $383 less in property taxes.

Valderrama also is concerned about safety for the resi-dents of Sammamish.

Eastside Fire and Rescue, which provides � re and emer-gency services to the area, has station No. 83 – within two minutes of Klahanie. � e station – the building, land and

Introducing our newest senior Introducing our newest senior

and equipment – all belong to the city of Sammamish.Wes Collins, deputy chief at EFR said nothing will

change if Issaquah is successful in annexation.“It does not change our operation at all,” he said. “We

don’t plan to close it (station 83).”Collins said hypothetically if Sammamish decides to

leave EFR and start its own �re department, that would be the only reason for EFR to leave the station.

Odell put it more succinctly.“If Sammamish remains in EFR, nothing changes,” Odell

said. “(But) we’re not happy with the business arrangement with EFR. We pay a good deal more for services because it’s based on assessed valuation, not calls.”

Odell said he has been told that Sammamish is the only city in the country where �re service is based on assessed valuation rather than call volume.

David Kappler, a former Issaquah City Council member who does not support annexation, said there are direct ties to EFR, Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District and the city of Sammamish with annexation.

He said EFR will lose revenue as a result of the annexa-tion because Issaquah doesn’t plan to replace the money that Klahanie has been paying to EFR District 10 (unincor-porated and rural areas). �e city anticipates paying EFR .70 cents per thousand of assessed valuation for �re service as opposed to the present $1.50 per thousand of assessed valuation that Klahanie has been paying into EFR as an unincorporated area. EFR does not collect taxes on its own.

“�ey are collecting a lot of money from Klahanie, but that money is being used for the whole district, which includes huge areas of undeveloped and public land from Cedar River to Carnation that doesn’t command any rev-enue,” Kappler said.

Odell said 42.5 percent of calls in 2012 went outside Sammamish city limits, to partner cities. A total of 1,386 calls answered by Sammamish stations were calls going to

a partner city outside of Sammamish city limits (primarily Klahanie).

Calls for Issaquah mainly went to Providence Point, a re-tirement community. EFR partners responded to 124 calls in Sammamish. A total of 1,737 calls within the city were answered by EFR stations in Sammamish — 81, 82 and 83, which is the closest one to Klahanie.

“If Issaquah annexes Klahanie and we can come to some sort of funding agreement other than what we have now, we may well stay in (EFR),” Odell said. “Otherwise we’ll look at other options — setting up our own �re stations in 81, 82 and 83. We have 40 percent ownership of the ve-hicles in EFR. �ere’s a very strong possibility we’d relocate the station to better serve Sammamish and sell 83.”

Valderrama said Sammamish asked Issaquah if it would buy station 83 from Sammamish if annexation of Klahanie is successful and the answer was no.

However, an email from Issaquah City Manager Bob Harrison to Mike Sauerwein, assistant city manager for Sammamish dated July 13 this year, said Issaquah “does not believe it is bene�cial to the partnership to participate in a variety of what-if scenarios. As such, we are declining to participate (in discussions regarding changing the funding formula).”

“�e �re issue should be of interest to residents of Kla-hanie. Many think it’s their station — it’s not,” Odell said. “We’ve been trying for many, many years to sit down with our partners to discuss funding.”

An assessed valuation formula doesn’t make sense he said, because the areas that most heavily depend on EFR’s service — a “calls generated” formula — should pay for service. He said only North Bend was willing to keep talk-ing about changing the funding model.

Also unresolved is a water issue that concerns Sam-mamish residents, Valderrama said.

�e state Department of ecology is still working on a dra� permit for the city of Issaquah to inject storm water runo� into the ground above an aquifer. All of Klahanie and 80 percent of Sammamish gets its water from the Sam-mamish Plateau Water and Sewer District. �e injection would occur 600 feet uphill from three wells owned by the

water district that serve 54,000 people. However o�cials at ecology and Issaquah argue that the water, which would settle in an area called the Lower Reid In�ltration Gallery (LRIG), will be safely treated through �ltration of sand and gravel before it reaches any wells.

Odell said the city of Sammamish is very interested in the water situation.

“We have a number of citizens in (the water district),” Odell said. “Anything with the remotest possibility of ef-fecting the water is of interest of us.”

He said Sammamish has noti�ed ecology that it wants to be a party to discussions.

“We wouldn’t do anything to put drinking water at risk,” said Sheldon Lynne, Issaquah’s public works engineering director.

Valderrama isn’t so sure. He said Klahanie residents de-serve better than more debt, questionable water quality and slower emergency response, which would occur should Sammamish leave the �re district, because the nearest sta-tion to respond to Klahanie is in the Issaquah Highlands.

You can close the book on an allegation which captivated attention in the waning days

of the 2012 congressional contest between Republican John Koster and Democrat Suzan DelBene.

Spoiler alert: It wasn’t true.If you recall, in the heat of their

duel, Koster insinuated DelBene – now the congress-woman – had given special treatment to a prominent supporter of Democratic can-didates and causes while she served as director of the state Department of Revenue in 2011.

Koster linked her to allegations made

in a whistleblower complaint � led by a veteran employee. � at worker alleged the unnamed Democratic supporter avoided paying a $2 mil-lion use tax on a personal airplane because of political favoritism.

Koster repeatedly said because it happened on her watch she needed to respond to the charge.

“She says millionaires ought to pay their fair share, but apparently millionaires got a break,” he said in a television interview.

As Koster pushed the matter on the campaign trail throughout October, he seemed increasingly frustrated at its failure to gain much traction.

“While our liberal media friends are ignoring this major scandal, we are going to continue asking ques-tions until we get some answers,” he wrote on his campaign’s Facebook page on Oct. 23.

� is week, an investigation found that “no reasonable cause to believe an improper governmental action occurred.”

Former state auditor Brian Sonntag launched the probe soon a� er receiving the whistleblower complaint alleging the tax should have been levied, but higher-ups in the department delayed doing so until it became too late for them to legally collect it.

Sonntag’s successor, Troy Kelley, a Democrat, oversaw the completion of the investigation and issued the � ndings Monday.

“In review of the case notes and the subjects’ email, phone records and statements from witnesses and subjects, we found the Department never made the determination that use tax was owed by the taxpayer in this case,” investigators wrote.

“Our investigation found no hold

was placed on the case that prevent-ed an assessment from being issued,” they concluded. “Additionally, we found no evidence that any employ-ee of the Department intentionally delayed the case in order to allow the statutory time bar to expire.”

No one is identi� ed by name in the seven-page report. Instead, agency employees involved are referred to by title. Nowhere is the director mentioned.

Koster, a Snohomish County councilman, was on bereavement leave and unavailable for comment, according to his sta� .

DelBene, who described Koster’s claim as “a baseless accusation from a desperate campaign” declined to comment on the auditor’s � ndings.

While she said all along she had no involvement in the decision, Del-Bene may need to address this mat-ter again when she seeks re-election next year.

Initiative 594 has made me think about the Second Amendment, the NRA and its 142-year history, its 4.5 million members and its $300 million annual budget.

� e initiative, requiring criminal and public safety background checks for gun sales and transfers, triggered memory of the recent massacre at Newtown, Conn., and

the NRA’s response to it, which suggested the principal and kindergarten teacher should have been armed.

� e Second Amendment was not penned into the Constitution to al-low the colonists to defend themselves against the federal, state or local govern-ment. � e Constitution sought � rst to deal with a debt crisis resulting from the revolution.

� e Continental Congress borrowed a lot of money to pay for the war. � ere was no standing army.

� e Continental Congress denied Washington’s pleas for an army. Sam Adams believed that a permanent standing army was “forever dangerous to civil liberties.”

Many Founders agreed with Adams, and they penned the Second Amendment into the Constitution, ensuring that citizens, not a permanent standing army, would bear arms. � e real reason for the Second Amendment was to put down slave and Indian uprisings.

Today the US has the largest army ever assembled.It also has a militia – � e National Guard. � e Second Amend-ment is now as anachronistic as Section 2 of Article I that permitted slavery. Both are national embarrassments.

� e Second Amendment has succeeded in making the worship of guns a form of idolatry. Guns are not gods.� ey are tools designed to turn animals into carcasses and human beings in corpses, and it is time to become more selective about who we allow to buy them.

The $15-an-hour problemThe SeaTac minimum wage initia-

tive is in limbo. The central element of that

city’s Proposition 1 is a $15 per hour minimum wage for workers at SeaTac Airport and area hotels, restaurants and car rental agencies. But, it also includes

a complex web of employee work rules enforced by the city of SeaTac.

On Aug. 26, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that Prop 1 did not have enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Proponents have gath-ered additional signa-

tures and appealed the judge’s ruling. Regardless of what happens in SeaTac,

the issue of a higher minimum wage will come before voters. The Service Em-ployees International Union (SEIU) is organizing protests by fast food workers and others here and across the nation,

demanding a $15 hourly minimum wage. Because of that, it’s important to un-

derstand the consequences — intended and unintended — of such measures.

Although Washington has the highest minimum wage in the nation — $9.19 per hour indexed to inflation — support-ers say it’s not enough. In addition to a $15 hourly wage, Prop 1 specifies worker retention procedures and details the con-ditions under which employees can take sick leave. Opponents say it’s tantamount to a union contract enforced by the city.

Ironically, the initiative can be waived in union contracts, even if the union jobs pay less than $15 per hour. This would have had the effect of pressuring employers to agree to union contracts to avoid its provisions — although support-ers aren’t publicizing that point.

Another problem with Prop 1 is that 90 percent of the workers it bene� ts live outside the city of SeaTac, yet city taxpay-ers are on the hook for enforcement costs. In addition, Prop 1 is unfair. It would es-tablish a two-tier wage structure in which

some employees earn 63 percent more than others doing the same work.

Of course, we would all like people to have better jobs and more money, but

this isn’t the way to do it.

King County Sheri� John Urquhart testi-� ed before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 10, 2013 about the state's legaliza-tion of marijuana for recreational purposes. Here are his remarks:

Good a� ernoon members of the com-mittee, Mr. Chairman. � ank you for hav-ing me today. My name is John Urquhart, and I am the Sheri� of King County, WA.

Seattle is located in King County, and with almost 2 million residents, we are the 14th largest county by population in the United States. I have over 1,000 employ-

ees in the Sheri� ’s O� ce and a budget exceeding $160 million.

As sheri� , I am therefore the top law enforcement o� cial in the largest juris-diction in the country that has legalized marijuana.

I have been a police o� cer for 37 years, and I was elected as King County’s Sheri� last year. During my career I’ve investigat-ed everything from shopli� s to homicides. But I’ve also spent 12 years as a narcotics detective. My experience shows the war on drugs has been a failure. We have not signi� cantly reduced demand over time,

but we have incarcer-ated generations of individuals, the highest incarceration rate in the world.

So the citizens of the state of Washington decided it was time to try something new. In November of 2012 they passed Initiative 502, which legalized

recreational amounts of marijuana and at the same time created very strict rules and laws.

I was a strong supporter of Initiative 502 last year, and I remain a strong sup-porter today. � ere are several reasons for that support. Most of all, I support 502 because that’s what the people want. � ey voted for legalized marijuana. We – the government – have failed the people and now they want to try something else.

Too o� en the attitude of the police is “We’re the cops and you’re not. Don’t tell us how to do our job.” � at is the wrong attitude and I refuse to fall into that trap.

While the title of this hearing is con� ict between state and federal marijuana laws, I don’t see a huge con� ict.

� e reality is we do have complimenta-ry goals and values. We all agree we don’t want our children using marijuana. We all agree we don’t want impaired drivers. We all agree we don’t want to continue enriching criminals. Washington’s law honors these values by separating con-sumers from gangs, and diverting the pro-ceeds from the sale of marijuana toward furthering the goals of public safety.

Is legalizing and regulating the pos-session and sale of marijuana a better alternative? I think it is, and I’m willing to be proven wrong. But the only way we’ll know is if we are allowed to try.

DOJ’s recent decision provides clarity on how we in Washington can continue to collaborate with the federal government to enforce our drug laws while at the same

time respecting the will of the voters.It’s a great interim step, but more needs

to be done. For example, we are still limited by not

knowing the role of banking institutions as we go forward.

Under federal law, it is illegal for banks to open checking, savings, or credit card accounts for marijuana businesses. � e result is that marijuana stores will be operated as cash-only businesses, creat-ing two big problems for us: (1) cash-only businesses are prime targets for armed robberies; and (2) cash-only businesses are very di� cult to audit, leading to possible tax evasion, wage the� , and the diversion of resources we need to protect public safety.

I am simply asking that the federal government allow banks to work with legitimate marijuana businesses who are licensed under state law.

In closing let me make one thing abso-lutely clear. What we have in Washington state is not the wild, wild west. And as sheri� , I am committed to continued col-laboration with the DEA, FBI, and DOJ for robust enforcement of our respective drug laws. For example, I have detectives right now assigned to federal task forces, including a DEA HIDTA Task Force. It’s been a great partnership for many years and that partnership will continue.

Furthermore the message to my depu-ties has been very clear: You will enforce our new marijuana laws. You will write someone a ticket for smoking in public. You will enforce age limits. You will put unlicensed stores out of business. In other words, the King County Sheri� ’s O� ce will abide by the standards and laws voted on and adopted by the citizens of the state of Washington, and the guidance provided by the Department of Justice on Aug. 29.

Mr. Chairman, I say to you and the members of this committee, I do appreci-ate the deference the federal government has shown to my constituents, and I look forward to continuing that cooperation.

John Urquhart

Federal government should work with state on marijuana

Bischo� erger is a third generation violinmaker who Chang said is very supportive of the arts.

Chang makes the time for this new challenge because he loves to teach.

“� is is one area I can teach more of the classics from the great composers,” he said.

Chang plays violin and oboe — obviously not while conducting. He started playing piano in the third grade, but switched to violin in the fourth grade. His mother still sings in a church choir in Renton. His wife, Christi Chang, also is a violinist and an orchestra teacher in Bel-levue. � e couple’s 2-year-old, Ellie, already has shown an interest in music.

“When we go to concerts, she’ll start conducting, and she’s very good at hand clapping,” Chang said.

Although the orchestra focuses on the Romantic period, it also plays selections from the Classical and Baroque periods.

� e all-volunteer group – members come from Sam-mamish, Issaquah, Monroe, Carnation, Everett, Preston and many more communities – plays for the love of the music.

Terri Gustafson, a board member and � utist, said that’s because there are not many organized community orches-tras in the area. � e age range for the orchestra’s players is from advanced middle school students to a few players in their 80s. � ey rehearse for two hours once a week.

Concertmaster Darlene Rose was practicing the “Bar-ber of Seville” while waiting for others to arrive. Rose has played violin for 43 years — most of her life.

“Playing is my connection to the world,” she said. She said she remembers watching Bugs Bunny and

Yosemite Sam cartoons as a child, and the music in the background was always classical, including the “Barber of Seville.” She also is an orchestra teacher, at Renton High School and Dimmitt Middle School in the Renton district.

� e Issaquah Philharmonic Orchestra’s � rst perfor-mance this season — and the � rst with Chang o� cially conducting — is Nov. 25 at Faith United Methodist

Church in Sammamish. Admission is free.� e orchestra will play selections from the “Nutcrack-

er” and other recognizable selections.� e group is searching for other venues to play that

have good acoustics. � e group also needs more percus-sionists and hope someone will donate some timpani.

“It’s a privilege and pleasure to be with this ensemble,” Chang said. “� e people are friendly and this is an or-chestra that’s growing fast. I think it’s a group that will be set apart from others because of the education and fellow-ship.”

� e Issaquah Philharmonic Orchestra is on Facebook, and is working on a web page.

“I can honestly say that the dozens of families who have opened their homes to me during my time in Up with People is one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences I have had,” said Wright. “I still stay in contact with many of them, and I believe they will remain lifelong friends.”

� ose interested in hosting are encour-aged to contact Anna Schwed on the Seattle area Advance Team at [email protected] or by calling 425-890-7439.

Police arrested Tony Giles, a Level III convicted sex o� ender, for commu-nication with a minor for immoral purposes a� er he made lewd comments to a teenage girl in the parking lot at the Issaquah Target store in the 700 block of Northwest Gilman Blvd.

Giles, 56, of Renton, was taken into custody without incident � ursday, Sept. 5. � e incident occurred August 27.

Giles was featured in a Seattle Times series “Coaches who Prey,” in

2002. Once a popular girl’s basketball coach, he had his own Seattle-area basketball program called Players Only.

O� cers received three complaints about the man driving around the shop-ping center. Witnesses said the man made sexual and disturbing comments to women. He was also seen photographing women and then making lewd com-ments to them.

� e suspect also allegedly approached a 16-year-old girl and made sexual com-ments to her. She ran and then alerted her parents. Her parents and witnesses recorded Giles’s license plate information, and provided a description of the man to police.

� at information assisted police in the investigation, and allowed detectives to con� rm the Gile’s identity.

Detective Stan Conrad

with the Issaquah Police Department said Giles was on a “tight leash” because he is currently serving three years of federal probation for identity the� .

Conrad said within � ve minutes of IPD reporting the arrest Gile’s probation o� cer called them.

“We coordinated with federal probation to get him into custody,” Conrad said.

Giles in currently in the King County Jail.

Don’t be a helicopter parent to your childrenWe all want our children to suc-

ceed, but sometimes as parents we can be overly involved in

our children’s lives. We don’t want them to get hurt or experience pain so we “overparent,” also known as helicopter parenting.

“� e result is that kids get out into the real world, and they don’t know what to do or can’t handle it,” said Caron McCune, a counselor with Youth Eastside Services. In fact, research recently released by Uni-

versity of Arizona Professor Chris Segrin found that children raised by helicopter parents tend to have fewer coping skills.

Helicopter parenting isn’t about being concerned and active in your child’s life. � at is normal and healthy. It becomes problematic when parents begin doing things for children that they should be doing for themselves or when parents be-come overprotective and don’t allow their

children to grow and experience normal activities.

O� en times, overparenting stems from a desire to calm parental anxieties. It’s no wonder, with news of school shootings, child abductions and other horrible events. But McCune points out that o� en times that overprotectiveness can rub o� on the child, who in turn becomes anxious.

“Young kids can become anxious, and they don’t even know why,” says McCune, “while older kids get angry, rebel and stop telling you what’s going on.” She recom-mends parents try to calm their own anxieties and assess the true risks for their children.

� e truth is as much as we want to pro-tect them, all children will face hurts and adversity. It provides more protection in the long run if kids learn how to deal with those painful moments or risky experiences as they grow.

Instead of o� ering advice or solving

problems for your child, empower kids to solve their own problem and o� er support when they need it. For example, if you are concerned about a grade your son received on a test or project, don’t pick up the phone and talk to the teacher – talk with your son. If there is a problem, encourage him to solve it with leading questions such as: “Did you talk with your teacher about your concerns? What could you say to help your teacher understand?”

Of course responsibility has to be age appropriate. You may have to o� er to help a younger child talk with a teacher, while a teenager should be able to handle such a task alone.

McCune reminds us that responsibilities with bigger risks and consequences come with age, such as taking the bus or driving. Before you say “no” or move into helicopter parenting mode, stop and think about what you are trying to achieve and make e� orts to help your child be safe or check-in.

If you refuse to let your child grow and

take on more responsibility, it sends the message that you don’t trust him or her. � is can lead to lower self-esteem or an expectation that problems always will be solved by you.

Studies also have shown that helicopter parents are less likely to be satis� ed with family communication and connection. Segrin’s team found that open communica-tion and fewer instances of authoritarian parenting result in more balanced family dynamics.

So the next time you move in to solve a problem for your child, or think they can’t handle a responsibility, stop and think about whether you are overparenting, and try to � nd ways to let your child grow and learn so they can manage when you aren’t there.

Meet the breedsSeptember is once again the time for

Responsible Dog Ownership Days all across the country. Local chapters of the American Kennel Club are promoting the theme “Meet the Breeds” by having di� erent breeds available for the public to meet and get to know. If you are thinking of adopting a dog, keep in mind that every breed features unique traits that are more or less suited to certain living conditions.

A dog’s need for exercise is central when it comes time to choose a breed for your family. If you live in a neighborhood where it will be impossible to let the dog run unleashed, you might want to consider a breed that is known for being more tranquil. Some breeds that might suit this kind of environment are terriers, miniature breeds, and others, such as bichon frise, bulldog, cockapoo, Pekingese, and Pomeranian. Many other breeds tend to have lower exercise needs as well. Keep in mind that even less rowdy dogs need to be walked daily, preferably twice. Tossing a ball in the backyard is fun for a while, but dogs need to be stimulated by new scents and scenery.

Whichever breed you choose, make sure you are a responsible dog owner. Have your pet spayed or neutered, take it to obedience training classes, and use a leash and collar. Read books, browse the Web, and talk to other pet owners to help you make the best decision about a breed suitable for your family.

Bringing your new puppy home

Perhaps you’ve been thinking about adopting a dog into your family. You’ve likely thought carefully about the breed and have planned an area where it can play safely without annoying the neighbours. Maybe you’ve already bought the so� est cushion in the world for puppy to snooze in. If you’re a typical family, choosing the name has been a subject of debate worthy of a G20 summit!

But it doesn’t end there. In order for a puppy to adapt quickly to your home, here are a few tips to follow:

• Before its arrival, ensure that you have everything you’ll need, particularly the food, bowls, safe toys, a collar, a leash, and grooming accessories;

• A crate is a necessity. In fact, your dog needs its own place where it can rest quietly. A crate also helps in the house-training process and allows the entire household to sleep peacefully;

• Choose a veterinarian ahead of time, based

on recommendations from neighbours, friends, and family. Your vet will be a precious ally, especially in an emergency;

• In order to avoid dangerous accidents, you should animal-proof your home by keeping plants out of reach, by unplugging or covering electrical wires, and by not leaving plastic bags, aluminum containers, or small objects (medications, needles, elastic bands, etc.) lying around;

• Inspect every corner of your home, never losing sight of the fact that your puppy is like a baby: it will try to put everything in its mouth!

How to make your dog become your best friend

Many people say that a dog is man’s best friend. However, despite all the a� ection that may have been lavished on them, pets o� en develop bad habits that their owners would love to correct. Sometimes, it is no longer clear who is even master of the home! Dog training classes can o� er some solutions that will alleviate your and your pet’s stress.

A wide range of obedience training

classes are available to owners and their dogs, whether they are puppies or adults. � ese classes aim to teach owners the main obedience techniques, and group sessions are o� en available so that dogs can become accustomed to concentrating even in the presence of distractions. Heel, sit, down, up, stay, and come are the basic commands demonstrated at the beginning of all these classes.

Owners will also learn to better understand a dog’s body language so they are able to correct the most common types of unwelcome behavior: barking, excessive jumping, aggressiveness, and anxiety. Classes also include tips on grooming and healthcare, which are essential to the well-being of your four-legged friend. Many dog training schools o� er private classes in the home so that owners can learn and practice new techniques with all the attention of the instructor.

Although methods recommended by obedience training schools may vary from one place to another, the formula based on positive reinforcement is by far the most popular. One thing is sure, training methods must always respect the animals. Once you have registered for a class, all you’ll have to do then is stock up on treats and be prepared to give your beloved pet lots of a� ection.

BY JOSH [email protected]

When the Eastlake boys cross country team gath-ered to run mile time tri-als at the beginning of the season, head coach Troy Anderson wasn’t quite sure what to expect.

He knew the momen-tum from reaching the 4A cross country meet for only the second time in school history last year had paid dividends dur-ing the track season and summer, when he said Eastlake had its largest turnouts during his ten-ure. But even with a deep and experienced group of runners returning, there were question marks.

As the times came in, the worries faded away.

“Last year, our top guy in the mile ran four min-utes, 51 seconds, a pretty solid time,” Anderson said. “� is year, we had ten guys run faster than that.”

Anderson knew from the start he had a group of returning runners capable of reaching the podium at state this season, led by senior Kyle Suver and sophomore Nathan Pixler.

But he also knew to reach its goals, his team would have to continue

to shave time, develop depth and race against top competition even before the postseason began. � e Wolves got that chance re-cently at the Tracy Walters Invitational in Spokane, where top squads from around the Paci� c North-west converged to begin the season.

“To be frank, we kind of got trounced,” Anderson said. “But we went there for the process and the experience.”

� e results weren’t all bad for the Wolves, as a pair of state quali� ers from last year � nished in the top-30 with sopho-more Nathan Pixler 23rd and senior Kyle Suver 29th. Considering the race included runners from all classi� cations throughout the entire region, includ-ing a pair of national quali� ers from 2012, An-derson said it was a more loaded � eld than state.

Both Suver and Pixler said a� er the experience of 2012, the � rst state meet for each, they are sig-ni� cantly more con� dent than last season.

“I’m definitely a lot better, just from being able to train with a lot of great guys,” Pixler said. “They have been able to push me and let me know

what my limits are.” Anderson said much of

last year’s success can be traced to a three-way meet in Seattle against KingCo foes Skyline and Ballard. � e Wolves had never beaten Skyline in a meet in the short history of the two, but with a speci� c race strategy, they were able to come out in front.

“It really went from a desire to a realization,” Anderson said of his team’s belief. “� at con� -dence refocused the guys that much more.”

Four of Eastlake’s state contingent return this year, as Jordan Oldenburg and Caleb Olson join

Suver and Pixler. Ander-son said quality depth has been the most encourag-ing factor thus far, with a number of athletes set to compete for top spots in the conference and district and a shot at state.

Shane Corn� eld, Cade Faulkner and Jack Lauzon each � nished in the top-50 at Tracy Walters and will be part of the group look-ing to ill the void.

“� e season starts in August,” Anderson said. But the teams that do well and want to succeed train well in June, July and

August and that is what they did.”

And of course, he knows he can rely on the top end of the squad to provide leadership as well as blistering times.

“Kyle is super-focused not just on himself, but on the team,” Anderson said. “He is looking at running sub-16 this year and is de� nitely primed to do that.”

Pixler said he hopes to cut some 20 seconds o� his personal record time throughout the year and with only 12 of the state’s

top-25 � nishers back this season, the Wolves could be primed for a move onto the podium.

Eastlake ran at the KingCo Preview meet at Lincoln Park in Seattle af-ter the Reporter’s deadline and will face Inglemoor next week in the � rst con-ference meet of the year. � e Wolves will not meet either Bothell or Gar� eld, the only two conference schools returning a top-25 state � nisher, until the KingCo Championship meet in late October.

Leaders of the packEastlake duo set to pace deep, experienced Wolves

Eastlake sent an entire team to the 4A state cross country meet last year and head coach Troy Anderson said the Wolves have a chance to be even better this year with four returners from that group.Jordan Oldenburg, 16:04.5, 27thKyle Suver, 16:35.4, 75thNathan Pixler, 16:47.7, 86thCaleb Olson, 16:48.7, 89th

(Top) Skyline’s o� ense was unable to get much going against Bellevue in the opener; Quarterback Kilton Anderson prepares to throw a pass . JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Eastlake, EC set for Plateau clash; Skyline downed by Bellevue at Husky StadiumBY JOSH [email protected]

Eastlake (1-0) @ Eastside Catholic (1-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

� e Sammamish neighbors face-o� for the second time in as many years and both enter sporting impressive wins in the season’s � rst week.

� e Crusaders decimated Liberty be-hind a barrage of � rst half touchdowns in a 62-9 win and Eastlake poured it on in a 41-7 win over 3A Lakes.

Head coach Don Bartel said while his Wolves were able to execute a new o� en-sive system without any major hiccups, and played fast and free on defense, the game tape revealed work still to be done.

“� e kids were going hard,” he said. “What that meant is we sacri� ced some things and made some mistakes I wish we wouldn’t have made.”

� e Wolves will have to contend with Eastside Catholic quarterback Harley Kirsch and senior running back Henry Jarvis, while the Crusaders will have plenty of eyes on brothers Troy and Drew Lewis, and Bartel said when he turned on game tape of the Crusaders, he saw a con� dent bunch capable of executing its schemes with precision.

“I see disciplined kids,” he said. “� ey have kids that if you make a mistake, they are going to be there.”

Issaquah (1-0) VS. Mount Si (1-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

Issaquah, which raced past Interlake 44-3 in the opener, hopes to erase the memories of last year’s 21-0 defeat to 3A Mount Si when the Wildcats come calling again on Friday.

Senior running back Jack Gellatly scored four times in the opener, but will face a much sti� er test in a Mount Si defense that handled Kennedy in a 35-12 win to open its season.

Skyline (0-1) @ Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (0-1), Friday, 8 p.m.

� e Spartans will travel to Idaho to face Coeur d’Alene in Idaho for the second straight year a� er the two met in the Kibbie Dome last year, a 71-20 Skyline win.

� e Vikings lost to Bothell in the � nal minutes of the Emerald City Kicko� Classic in a game that preceded the Spar-tans’ 45-7 loss to Bellevue.

Employees of Issaquah-based Gevers Wealth Management recently completed the Puget Sound Blood Center Swim for Life. � e annual event attracts adventure athletes who not only paddle 2.5 miles across Lake Washington, but also raise money to help in the � ght against leuke-mia and other life threatening diseases that require blood donations. � e team included owner Willy Gevers, and em-ployees Jake Walin and Caleb Walin.

“It was a long swim, and I was really looking forward to a big breakfast by the end," said Jake Walin.

Brother Caleb noted that the two both swam for Issaquah High School, "but pool swimming is way di� erent than a long dis-tance deep water swim – it was great fun.”

� e 2014 Swim for Life is tentatively scheduled for the third Wednesday of August. More information is available at swimforlife.dojiggy.com.

Calendar�ings to do in Issaquah and Sammamish

In the state’s �rst study to examine driver use of electronic devices, investigators from the University of Washington found that more than 8 percent of drivers were engaged in the use of devices behind the wheel, higher than previously estimated. Among those driv-ing distracted, nearly half (45 percent) were observed texting.

�e study examined the behaviors of 7800 driv-ers in six counties. Using randomized observations at controlled intersections, investigators recorded drivers engaged in a range of distracting activities, including texting and talking on the phone.

Researchers found that the most common source of distraction was a hand-held device such as a cell phone. Among the 3.4 percent of drivers who were talking on a handheld phone, half were holding the device near or under the steering wheel, a behavior considered high-risk since a driver’s attention is diverted from the road.

�e study has important implications for state pub-lic health and law enforcement o�cials. Motor vehicle injuries remain the leading cause of death for Americans under 35 years of age and estimates suggest that up to 28 percent of crash risk is attributable to cell phone use or text messaging in vehicles. While the use of cell phones in the U.S. has grown exponentially, enforcement of dis-tracted driving laws has struggled to keep pace. “�ese �ndings suggest that distracted driving is more

common than we thought and that texting has become a major cause of distraction,” said Dr. Beth Ebel, principal investigator with UW Medicine’s Harborview Injury Pre-vention and Research Center and associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington. “Most people support laws restricting texting and cell phone use in vehicles, yet some choose to engage in behaviors that put everyone on the road at risk.”

“�ese traumatic injuries are entirely preventable,” added Ebel. She noted that prior studies show texting while driving increases crash risk by 23 times, similar to driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.19.

In 2010, Washington state adopted a primary enforce-ment law for hand-held mobile devices and text messag-ing with an imposed �ne of $124. �e rise in distracted driving is prompting increased attention from law enforcement. In a recent King County seat belt citation campaign more tickets were issued for cell phone use and texting than non-use of seat belts.

Study �nds nearly half of state’s distracted drivers are texting

A law-enforcement e�ort to reduce the number of people driving while distracted has resulted in nearly 1,300 citations. �e e�ort targeted drivers who were using cellular phones, texting or involved in other behavior that a�ected their ability to drive in a safe manner.

More than 1,100 citations were issued to drivers for the use of cellular phones and 180 drivers were tick-eted for texting while driving. Law enforcement made more than 2,300 contacts with drivers which included driving with a suspended license and DUI. O�cers also made arrests of subjects with felony warrants and recovered two stolen vehicles.

“Despite the warnings in the media, we still found a lot of drivers without their full attention on the road,” said Lt. Mike Rupert of the Washington State Patrol.“�is special campaign is over, but o�cers and troopers continue to be on the lookout for cell phone violations.”
