50 cents

By Caleb Heeringa

After being “hung out to dry”by the state legislature, the LakeWashington School District willtake more local levy dollars,slightly increase class sizes andmake teachers work two addi-tional days for the same pay.

At their Aug. 8 meeting theschool board unanimously passedthe district’s 2011-2012 budget.The $231.3 million spending plancalls for a property tax increaseof 10 cents per $1,000 of assessedvalue to pay for maintenance and

operations. The hike had beenapproved by local voters in 2010but had not been collected due tostate-mandated cap on how muchlocal school districts can tax. TheLegislature increased that capthis year.

Coupled with recentlyapproved capital levy that willfinance expansions to Eastlakeand Redmond High Schools aswell as a new science and tech-nology magnet school north ofSammamish, homeowners in thedistrict will pay a total $3.45 per$1,000 for schools — up from

$2.98 last year.Last year’s budget was $225.8

million.Taxpayers aren’t alone in bear-

ing the burden of the state’s cuts

to school districts. The state bud-get had called for teachers to takea 1.9 percent pay cut. Teachers inthe Lake Washington district sal-vaged their current salary levelsby agreeing to work two addition-al days.

Also, students in kindergartenthrough fourth grade will seeslightly larger classes following a$2.6 million dollar cut in fundsaimed at reducing class sizes.

Superintendent Chip Kimballdidn’t mince words when it cameto where the blame lies.

“This sits squarely on the

Legislature’s shoulders,” Kimballsaid. “We have to decide as a stateat what point is education reallygoing to be a priority. When iseducation going to be the“paramount duty” as described inthe constitution? When are wereally going to make the decisionthat the kids are our future? Ithink we’re being pennywise andpound foolish in this state aroundour approach to the funding ofeducation.”

King County Council mem-bers, after listening to more than1,000 people urge againstreduced bus service, enacted a$20 vehicle-tab fee Aug. 15 toforestall a 17-percent reduction tomass transit countywide. MetroTransit planners considered elim-inating Sammamish route 927 inthe proposed cutback.

In addition to enacting thevehicle-tab fee, the agreementcalls for Metro Transit to phaseout the free-ride zone in down-town Seattle in October 2012 anduse smaller buses on less-popularroutes as cost-saving measures.Metro Transit estimates eliminat-ing the downtown Seattle free-ride zone should save $2.2 mil-lion.

The deal is meant to softenthe impact of the economicdownturn on cash-strappedMetro Transit. The sales tax rev-

enues the agency uses to fundservice plummeted due to theanemic economy.

“The people of King Countyvoted with their feet, and theyoverwhelmingly turned out totell us to save Metro Transit andkeep bus service on the street,”County Executive DowConstantine said in a statement.“They have been heard.”

The agreement also calls forthe transit agency to offer $24 inbus tickets to people paying thevehicle-tab fee.

People uninterested in thetickets can instead donate thebalance to almost 150 human-ser-vices agencies.

The decisive support for theagreement came from theSammamish representative,Councilwoman Kathy Lambertand Councilwoman Jane Hague,another Eastside member.

For the past five years,Sammamish Plateau Water andSewer District has been injectingextra drinking water into a localaquifer in hopes of insuring ahealthy water supply if theregion ever sees another summerdrought.

But the district has not beenallowed to withdraw that waterfrom the aquifer due to concernsfrom theMuckleshootIndian Tribethat the extrawater hasn’tbeen staying inthe ground.They fear thedistrict wouldoverdraw itswater supply and potentiallyharm nearby salmon-bearingstreams and lakes.

Doug Wood, a hydrogeologistat the Washington StateDepartment of Ecology, said thedepartment granted the district apermit for the aquifer rechargeprogram in 2006.

The move followed several drysummers in the early part of thedecade. In those years, the dis-trict ran low on ground water,had to begin rationing and issuedwarnings and tickets to residentswho overwatered their lawns.

The permit allowed for 565“acre feet” per year of excesswater – about 183 million gallonsor enough to supply about 2,260homes for a year – to be pumpedinto the so-called “plateau

aquifer,” whichis roughlysouth of EvansCreek.

But Woodsaid Ecologyhas yet to grantthe districtapproval totake that water

back out of the ground for use. Jay Regenstreif, a planning

engineer with the district, saidthe district proposed severaltimes over the past few years towithdraw 70 percent of the waterthey had been injecting, or about395 acre feet. The Muckleshoottribe asserts that the water isn’t

being retained by the aquifer, andthat drawing additional waterwould deplete it.

“Until (the district) candemonstrate that injected wateris actually additional water avail-able for recovery in the summer

and is not simply displacing exist-ing groundwater, Ecology shouldnot provide authorization forrecovery quantities under (theprogram),” Muckleshoot WaterResources Analyst Carla Carlsonwrote in an April 2010 letter to

Ecology.The Muckleshoots have a

stake in the aquifer because LakeSammamish drains into LakeWashington, which, in turn, is

The state Department ofEcology has yet to approve removal of that water from the aquifer. The area outlined in blue is theLower Issaquah Valley aquifer, from which the water for the project is drawn. The yellow area is aseparate aquifer recharge program the district runs. The district has withdrawn water from thataquifer without issue.

“If we can’t take thatwater out we’re just

throwing money away.”– Bob Brady,

Commissioner –

KevinTeeley, presi-dent of theLakeWashingtonEducationAssociation,said teacherssaw the twoadditional days for the same payas a good compromise that wouldmaintain teachers’ paycheckswhile doing the best for students.

Teeley shares Kimball’s frus-tration with the state’s recentcuts but says the district is fortu-nate that its taxpayers continueto support the district with locallevy dollars.

“It would be one thing if (thisyear’s cuts) were the only ones,”Teeley said. “But it’s cut after cut

after cut piledup year afteryear. We’re for-tunate in LakeWashingtonSchool Districtthat our citi-zens supporttheir public

schools at the polls …. The trou-ble is that not every districtaround the state has that samesituation.”

State Rep. Larry Springer (D-45), who represents a state housedistrict which largely overlapsthe school district, said he does-n’t blame the school district fortheir displeasure, but said the leg-islature was faced with an“untenable” situation.

The recession led to a $12 bil-lion budget deficit and votersrejected a tax on candy and soda

as well as an income tax last year.“When you add it up I think

the legislature did pretty damnwell patching (the budget) togeth-er with literally no tax increases,”Springer said. “When it camedown to cutting funding forparaeducators or cutting breastcancer screening for low-incomewomen … We had to look at it as,‘Who is going to die from thesedecisions?’”

Since 2009, the state has cut$13 million in funds to the dis-trict that had been aimed at keep-ing down class sizes in K-4 class-rooms, forcing the district tobump up their average class sizeratios in those grades by a childor two.

“The important thing is thatwe were able to keep (employ-ees’ salaries) whole and impactthe classrooms the least we pos-sibly could,” Board PresidentJackie Pendergrass said. “Thelegislature felt that school dis-tricts could use their levy dollarsto help bail them out … That’snot something they can continueto count on.”

both be aimed at helping thedistrict transition from athree-year to a four-year highschool system in the 2012school year.

Sixth grade will move fromthe district’s elementaryschools to the middle schoolsand ninth grade will movefrom the middle schools tothe high schools.

One of the extra days willbe a teacher work day allow-ing staff that will be switchingschools to become acquainted.The second will do the samefor children — students willmeet theirteachers inthe nextgrade and ifthey areswitchingschools willget a fieldtrip to thenew location.

“Since there are so manychanges going on, this helpsstudents learn about what thenext year is going to be like,”district spokeswoman KathrynReith said. “Hopefully thatleads to a little less tensionand fear.”

Kimball noted at the meet-ing that in fall 2012, half ofhigh school students and two-thirds of middle school stu-dents will be in a new build-ing.

REVIEW

Forging a ‘bipartisan agreement’

Hague lobbied state legislatorsto permit the County Council toenact a temporary fee to shoreup funding for mass transit. Gov.Chris Gregoire signed the legisla-tion in May.

“This bipartisan agreementaddresses my primary concernsand offers real reform for Metro,”Hague said in a statement. “It’scritical that we keep people andbusinesses moving on theEastside — especially duringthese tough economic times. Thisnew package creates jobs andprovides equity for the Eastside.”

In June, Constantine proposedcreating a $20 vehicle-tab fee —billed as a congestion-reductioncharge — for 2012-13 to generatefunds for Metro Transit. Underthe state legislation, the fee isdue to go into effect six monthsafter Constantine signs the mea-sure into law.

The initial proposal attractedsupport from the Democrats onthe council, but not enough toclear the supermajority thresholdneeded to enact the change.Republicans Lambert and Haguenegotiated for reforms to MetroTransit in exchange for support.(The council is nonpartisan,although members often caucusalong party lines.)

“We’re working together in abipartisan fashion, unlike thosein Washington, D.C.,” Lambertsaid in a statement. “People inthese uncertain economic timesneed certainty that they have analternative method, such asbuses, to get to work. There aremany systemic changes in thenew package that will help meetthe needs of efficiency, trans-parency and providing trans-portation.”

County Council membersheard from more than 1,000 peo-ple at a series of public hearingsin the days before a planned July25 decision on the fee. The coun-cil opted to shift the decision toAug. 15 to allow for a possiblesolution.

“Today’s developments are theresult of hours of public testimo-ny, hundreds of messages andthousands of emails about thevital role Metro plays in the livesof King County residents,”Councilman Joe McDermott said

in a statement. “My colleaguesand I will continue to worktogether to find long-term, sus-tainable funding for Metro tokeep our region moving for yearsto come.”

Some changes could still occurThe push to enact the fee

attracted broad support fromEastside and Seattle businessgroups, environmental organiza-tions, organized labor and majoremployers, such as Microsoft andthe University of Washington.The groups joined together andadvocated for the fee as theTransit Rescue Coalition.

“We recognize this is a difficultvote while we are still recoveringfrom a tough recession,” states aletter written by coalition mem-bers. “But we believe that all citi-zens will pay far more in trans-portation costs and time by theloss of dependable, frequent busservice.”

Metro Transit planned to startwidespread service cuts inFebruary if the council did notenact the fee.

Jim Jacobson, Metro Transitdeputy general manager, said theagency intends to examine less-popular routes for possible reduc-tions.

“If there are routes that justaren’t performing very well, lookat ways to make adjustments tothose and invest in places whereyou’re going to get better rider-ship,” he said.

Still, despite the council agree-ment, riders should expect somechanges to route and service,especially on routes along theurban-rural boundary in EastKing County.

“It does not mean there willnot be any changes to the sys-tem, but reducing the system 17percent is off the table for twoyears,” Jacobson said.

OPINIONReview editorialSammamish reallydoes go green

The Review’s “Sammamish goes green” seriesover the last several weeks has chronicled some ofthe large and small efforts of city residents, eacheffort making large and small differences.

Let’s face it, a suburban bedroom community likeSammamish has a lot working against it in terms ofbeing ecologically friendly. Sprawling cul-de sacswith segregated retail areas and no major employ-ment centers to speak of mean almost every triprequires a car.

Older hous-ing develop-ments con-tribute unfil-tered stormwater runoff tofragile lake andstream ecosys-tems, or dis-rupt the migration patterns of native wildlife.

Newer developments with bigger houses requirelots of energy to heat, cool and keep well lit. Don’tforget the extra energy for more street lights,churches, schools that come with a burgeoning pop-ulation.

Yes, Sammamish has a lot working against it, butwe’ve learned that Sammamish residents still havevery “green” values.

Some of your neighbors have found ways to maketheir backyard inviting to Sammamish wildlife, oruse landscaping to help keep the lakes healthy.Others choose to ride bikes to work, even to Seattle.Still others are installing solar panels or movingtoward electric cars.

In each of these stories, we provided readersinformation on how you, too, can live a little green-er. If not solar panels, try switching to energy-savingCFL light bulbs. Maybe biking to work isn’t in yourfuture, but the bus or a vanpool may be a betteroption than you expect. Often, the greener way ofdoing things is also the cheaper way, particularly inthe long run. We hope readers will examine theirown lifestyle and see if they, too, can become betterstewards of the city and its bountiful habitat.

Resident Mary Pigott said it well. “At least lookinto it. Even a little bit helps. You don’t have to hitperfection to improve.”

Community center

needs a voteThe new Sammamabad Mining

Co. is owned and operated by theSammamish City Council, soon topresent a new IPO to generate fundsfor the next great illusion - the TownCenter. The IPO will be issued in theform of bonds or other gimmicks inorder to extract more taxes from thehomeowners. Now, the architecturalconcept drawing has been submittedshowing a large barn with nestinghabitats attached to produce —goose eggs. When you deal withgoose eggs, business will alwaysnever survive. The SammamabadMining Co. will always drill andscrape for more taxes from the resi-dents. The result is a serious one —especially for retired people whowould be taxed out of their homes.

The residents of Sammamish willbe blessed will a public pool andother amenities to feel fuzzy about.What will the public pool and TownCenter do for generating tax rev-enue? This is another flawed spend-ing venture nobody can afford dur-ing tough economic times we arecurrently confronting — bound toget even worse. A full recovery isnot even in the picture as more peo-ple are out of jobs.

In November 2010, we electedthree new members to the CityCouncil, who promised to controlthe wild spending of this hamlet.Almost a year later we find our-selves again in the same old game —who cares, it is not our money weare spending. Does the city have amoney printing operation to contin-ue the wasteful practice?

Have those three elected newCouncilmembers forgotten theirelection campaign slogans in such ashort time? This proposed projectmust not pass — we the citizens ofSammamish want to have a say inthe decision. It must not rest in thehands of the council and the citymanager.

Urgent care an

urgent needRecently, it became necessary to

go to urgent care because I neededa physician after hours. I realizedthere are two in Issaquah and twoin Redmond; yet no facility on theplateau.

The existing ones are not closeby if you are in an emergency situ-ation not requiring 911.

Since we are a city of about45,000 inhabitants, I would hopeone of the major hospitals in thearea would open an urgent carefor our residents.

The set up would not be diffi-cult, since there is a large vacantstore in the SammamishHighlands mall. There is ampleparking available. I hope this needis addressed.

Marietta KilmerSammamish

The center is wanted

and needs a voteI would like to respond to

Michael J. O’Connell’s Aug. 10 let-ter “The Silent Majority” that wasin response to my earlier letter tothe Review.

O’Connell states that my opin-ion that a silent majority supportsthe community center is “based onthe enthusiasm of the studygroup” I participated in andimplies that I believe the studygroup was not an accurate sam-pling of our entire community.

O’Connell then provides a les-son in polling. I find this odd inthat as far as I know O’Connell didnot attend the study group, hasnever spoken to me, and I did notstate that in my previous letter, soI’m not sure how he came to thatconclusion.

My opinion was not formedbased on what occurred at thestudy group or whether we hadnon-response or response bias fac-toring in to who attended.

My opinion is based on living inthis community for many years,talking to others, monitoring elec-tion issues, attending past councilmeetings, reading letters to theeditor, etc.

It is true that my commentregarding the silent majority sup-porting a community center is notbased on fact or any formal or

informal polling that I have conduct-ed, and to be honest I didn’t thinkanyone would think that.

My point was that I wanted toencourage the City Council to notbase their decision solely on thoseopposed to the community centerfor one reason or another.

Rather I want them to get feed-back from those who don’t normallyspeak up. We tend to see the samepeople writing to the editor over andover (you know who they are) and itwould be nice to hear from othersfor a change.

A good solution is to put it to avote of the community. I agree withO’Connell on this point.

My hope is that the communitywill see the value in a facility likethis.

John O’MearaSammamish

The center is unwanted

and needs a voteI was delighted to read Mr.

O’Connell’s “The Silent Majority”editorial concerning the flawedthinking that the Sammamish citi-zens and other parties involved inthe community center focus grouprepresented the majority ofSammamish tax-paying residents.

Poll of the weekShould the county have implemented the car tab fee with-out a vote? A) No. New taxes should go to the voters.B) Yes. It was needed and they showed some leadership.C) It’s fine. Elected officials are supposed to make deci-sions. After all, we live in a republic, not a democracy.

I agree that the city ofSammamish should put the bondmeasure and operating budgetproposed up for a public vote andinclude the specifics he proposedbe included in it in detail.

Speaking with manySammamish residents about theproposal, most have seriousquestions about the necessity forsuch a center and the cost tobuild, operate and maintain itduring this tight-dollar environ-ment and the uncertainty ofwhat else may happen to oureconomy.

Let’s put the bond measureand operating budget up for apublic vote so the majority of res-idents can decide the future (ifany) of a community center forSammamish.

Just because many residentshave been unable to join thefocus groups or have been intimi-dated to speak their minds inpublic doesn’t mean they shouldnot have a vested interest in the

The city may take into 2012to decide whether to allow theconstruction of a parking lotnext to a Southeast 20th Streethome being used as a mosque.

Senior Planner Evan Maximsaid the city has given theSammamish MuslimAssociation until November 11to reply to the city’s request formore information on their pro-ject.

The group is seeking toinstall a 38-stall parking lot andofficially convert their single-family home into a religioususe facility for 50 to 80 familieswho worship there.

The group has been operat-ing on a temporary agreementwith the city since buying theproperty in 2009.

Maxim said the city hasasked the group for more infor-mation on the potential uses ofthe building, landscape designsnear the proposed parking lotand the amount of people com-ing and going at given times ofthe day.

Though some neighborshave taken issue with the sizeof the parking lot, Maxim saidthe city wants to ensure anyproposed lot is big enough toserve the mosque users withoutleading to overflow parking inthe nearby residential areas.

The city has also asked thegroup to choose between allow-ing access to the home for firetrucks or installing a sprinklersystem, Maxim said.

In addition to the city’s ques-

part of the Cedar River water-shed.

The tribe has state-recognizedfishing rights over the entirewatershed after a 2006 settlementbetween the state, tribe and cityof Seattle.

“Their argument is that you’readding pressure to the aquifer …and it drains out the sides like afull bathtub,” Wood said.

Commissioner Mary Shustovsaid the program, one of only ahandful approved in the state, ismuch cheaper and more environ-mentally friendly than buildingan above-ground storage tank.The district’s largest storage tankholds about 21.5 acre feet ofwater, about 5 percent of whatthe district was seeking to with-draw from the aquifer.

“(The aquifer) is basicallynature’s storage bin,” she said.“Why would we buy land and

take a bunch of concrete andbuild one when we have oneright below us?”

How much water stays?The district’s measurements

show that the water table in theaquifer has actually been risingin recent years, though Wood saidit is unclear if that is due to theaquifer recharge program or thewet winters and mild summersthe area has seen recently.

The district is entitled to takeout 1,659.5 acre-feet per yearfrom the aquifer and has not hadto exceed that in recent years,Regenstreif said.

The district had to drill down138 feet below the surface to findwater in the driest part of 2005 –the lowest the water table hadbeen in more than a decade.Since then, the lowest annualreadings of the aquifer haverisen, although four out of thelast five years have been wetterthan normal in the Seattle area.

The district did not injectwater last winter, which

Regenstreif said was partlybecause of uncertainty aboutwhether they’d be able todraw it back out and partlybecause the district is inter-ested in seeing what theaquifer levels look like whenthe district doesn’t inject.

If the water levels drop sub-stantially, the district may beable to convince Ecology that theprogram is helping maintain ahealthy aquifer.

Uncertain that the programwill ever pay dividends, the dis-trict did not add water to theaquifer this past winter.

“If we can’t take that water outwe’re just throwing moneyaway,” Commissioner Bob Bradysaid.

Wood said the agency hadbeen attempting to strike a com-promise between the district andthe tribe for several years, butthose talks went on hiatus withlast year’s retirement of long-time district general manager,Ron Little.

Wood said he’s hopeful thatboth parties can come backto the table soon now thatnew manager Jay Krausshas been at the helm for awhile. Krauss took over atthe beginning of the year.

Regenstreif said the dis-trict does not have an esti-mate on what it has spenton the program, thoughthe district has spentmoney on extra bypasspipes in the wells they useto add water to the aquifer.

Rain and aquifer totalsBelow are the annual rainfall totals for the Seattle area, according to

the Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean at theUniversity of Washington.

Conversation with the Candidate

Paid for by Tom Vance for Council

22406 NE 25th Way, Sammamish, WA 98074

What do you think?

Let’s continue the Conversation at www.tomvanceforcouncil.com

Why I’m running for City Council

By Tom Vance

Why wouldanyone wantto run forCity Council?The timecommitment

is substantial: the average citycouncilperson can spend up to 20hours a week in activities,meetings, and study time. At thatrate, the pay is barely above theminimum wage. To get the job,you need to put yourself, and yourfamily, through a tough, stressfulcampaign. I know. I did all of that,two years ago.

Why am I running? BecauseSammamish still has importantissues to confront and challengesto overcome. Our population isgrowing, even in this tougheconomy.

How do we manage our growth,maintain and improve ourinfrastructure, while we preservethe qualities that brought us toSammamish? Can we provide newpublic amenities for our manyyoung families and growingpopulation of seniors? As theeconomy improves, how do wemake the Town Center grow new

business and provide new services? Will we make sure ourenvironmental protections are inplace?

As a community, we’veaccomplished a lot. Sammamish isan award-winning, livable city. Butin the face of inevitable change, we need a committed, effective, andthoughtful City Council.

For years I have volunteered inSammamish. I was an advocate and a voice for the East LakeSammamish Trail, sports fields, and a better library. I chaired the ParksAdvisory Committee that startedthe conversation on many of ourparks and recreation projects,including a community/aquaticscenter. I helped create the TownCenter Plan, as Chair of ourPlanning Commission.

I will listen and work hard topreserve the qualities that broughtus here, and to fulfill our vision of a family-friendly community.

These are just some of the issuesthat the City Council will face and I hope to discuss with you here,online, and in person in the nextfew weeks. Let’s work together.

When Sammamish residentJay Schupack signed on to helpbuild a new home in Issaquah forhomeless people, it was businessas usual. He didn’t expect to wina national “Gold Nugget” awardfor community spirit.

“We were extremely honoredto be presented with a GoldNugget,” said Schupack. “I don’tthink we realized that we werethought of so highly within ourcommunity.”

Schupack is executive directorof the Master Builders CareFoundation, the philanthropicarm of the Master Builder’sAssociation.

For the past 8 years, Schupackhas led the Master Builders CareFoundation to participate in 11housing projects throughout thearea. These projects have sup-ported homeless families inRenton, Bellevue, Seattle, Sultanand Arlington, among othercities.

For this project, Schupack ledthe group putting together theJulia L. Pritt house in Issaquah.The foundation teamed up withJohn Day Homes Inc. and

Compassion House, a local non-profit provider of housing forhomeless families, to build thehome.

According to Schupack, it usu-ally takes time to find what thefoundation calls a “builder cap-tain,” a company that can takecharge of the physical buildinglogistics involved in each project.In this case, however, John DayHomes Inc. jumped right in tohelp with general contractor

recruits.“Seeing the project come

together was really neat,” saidSchupack. Long-time local resi-dent and philanthropist JuliaPritt donated the land, the city ofIssaquah supported the project,and approximately 40 trades fromthe homebuilding industry com-bined to contribute more than$244,000 to build the duplex,

If you’re looking at StephanieMatusiefski’s photo, somethingbad has probably happened.

Her photo was chosen to hangin the emergency room area atthe new Swedish IssaquahHospital.

“It’s kind of exciting to seeyour artwork in a hospital and toadd to the art scene in Issaquah,”said Matusiefski, a 2011 graduateof Eastside Catholic High School.

Matusiefski is one of 32 stu-dents — three from EastsideCatholic — to have their workdisplayed at the hospital.

Her photo is entitled “Nature’sClimb.”

Swedish communication spe-cialist Natalie Kozimor said theywanted to have locals submit artso that the community can con-tribute to the environment hereat Swedish.

After submission, a graphicartist at Swedish adjusted somecolors in Matusiefski’s photo. Theoriginal was more natural look-

ing, Matusiefski said.She was prompted to join the

contest by her art teacher at

Eastside Catholic.Megan McDermott, AP studio

art teacher, convinced 11 Eastside

Catholic students to submit atotal of 27 pieces in the contest.Four art pieces from three of

these students were chosen forpermanent installation.

“I have a lot of photos I’vetaken for my portfolio,”Matusiefski said. “It was just afun thing to do the contest.”

McDermott said that she felt asense of honor when she heardthat her students were chosen torepresent the artistic and schoolcommunity.

“I am so excited to have mystudents have permanent art-work displayed. They all workedso hard and deserve the recogni-tion that they have received. Itwill be a great reminder ofStephanie’s, Alli’s and Shannon’ssenior year at ECHS and in ourAP Studio Art class.” saidMcDermott.

In recognition of their efforts,both the Master Builders CareFoundation and John Day HomesInc. were presented with a GoldNugget for Community Spirit atthe annual Pacific Coast BuildersConference in San Francisco onJune 23, 2011.

Gold Nuggets are presentedfor creative achievements inaddressing complex issues.

“It was a very very neat feel-ing to be awarded a GoldNugget,” said Schupack. “It was along haul to build the duplex, butthe overwhelming support of thecommunity made the Julia L.Pritt house project come togethervery nicely.”

Skyline Junior Elaine Jeon, aviolinist, met Kevin Lee while inthe Evergreen PhilharmonicOrchestra. She had the privilegeof listening to him play and wasinspired by his projects, she said.

Lee went on to found a groupcalled the Society for EmergingArtists. Jeon found them whilesearching for summer musiccamps and jumped at the chanceto volunteer.

“It’s a nearby opportunity thatI don’t have to pay thousands ofdollars for. And I can be aroundmy friends all summer longdoing what I enjoy.”

As liberal arts programs strug-gle to survive amid deep cuts, thegroup of musicians with local

roots is working to empoweryoung people through perfor-mance.

The Society of EmergingArtists aims to demonstrate thepowerful role of music in societyand provide an outlet for stu-dents’ musical voices, said Lee.

Lee, an Issaquah High Schoolgraduate, began his musicalcareer with the violin and nowstudies conducting with JuilliardSchool faculty when he is notattending classes at ColumbiaUniversity. When he was 16, Leefounded and directed theEastside Project Choir andChamber Orchestra, a student-run orchestra that raised fundsfor charitable organizations in thePuget Sound area.

Lee, now 19, said he created

the Society of Emerging Artists togive young musicians moreopportunities to perform, tomake classical music more acces-sible and to support charitiesthrough funds raised by perfor-mances.

The group of student musi-cians recently held a classicalmusic festival August at DanielsRecital Hall in Seattle.

Jeon had been looking forwardto the performance.

“I’m thrilled to share with thepublic the high level of music westudents can create, even thoughwe are not a professional orches-tra.”

The best thing about music isthe opportunity it presents, Jeonsaid.

“Performing on stages where

legendary musicians once stoodis really inspiring and hard to for-get,” she said. “From playingonstage at Carnegie to playingchamber music on the streetswith friends, music has given me(the) chance to try differentthings in life I would have neverimagined.”

Erin Kim, director of press andmedia affairs for the group, saidproceeds from the festival will goto “Charity: Water” through apage dedicated to RachelBeckwith, a 9-year-old Issaquahgirl who died in an I-90 accidentlate July. The organization fundsclean water projects in develop-ing nations.

Lee said the society chose tosupport Beckwith’s charitybecause it inspired them.

“We came together to explorethe idea of youth empowerment,”he said. “Young people can dogreat things.”

Through this festival, Lee saidhe hopes to demonstrate thesolid link between music and lib-eral arts emphasizing the impor-tance of music to society.

“There is a strong interconnec-tivity between all the liberal artswhich makes the humanities, inessence, a collective dedicated todeepening our emotional rangeand helping us to understand thedire importance of humanityfrom varied perspectives,” hesaid. “Through this interconnec-tivity, each subject—whether it ismusic, language or culture—deepens the experience of theother.”
