The airy apartment on the top floor at YWCAFamily Village at Issaquah, a long-planned afford-able housing complex, is a refuge for Lizzie Webb.

The longtime Issaquah resident relocated to thecomplex before anyone else, in late May, and creat-ed a sanctuary from domestic abuse in the cozyspace.

“This was a safetynet that I really need-ed. This particularbuild enabled me tostay here in my com-munity that I volunteerin, that I have friendsand family in, and haveroots in,” she said lastmonth as perched on aquilt-draped sofa.“Without this safetynet, I wouldn’t be here.I’m really, really grate-ful.”

Other occupantsstarted to settle in enmasse in late June, andmanagers expect most residents to occupy the $53million complex by late August, just in time forschool to start. The milestone marked the culmina-tion of more than a decade of planning for the cityand the YWCA.

Family Village is meant to offer 146 rental unitsfor firefighters, medical assistants, police officers,retail clerks and teachers — people employed inIssaquah but unable to afford other housing in thecommunity. Occupants must meet certain incomerequirements in order to qualify for a FamilyVillage unit on a site across from the Issaquah

Highlands Park & Ride. “It’s very heartwarming to see it come to life,”

Charity donations in honor ofRachel Beckwith, a 9-year-oldIssaquah girl fatally injured in apileup last month, surpassed the$1 million mark Aug. 12, as thecause received another round ofnational attention.

Nicholas Kristof, a columnist forThe New York Times, highlightedRachel’s mission to raise funds forCharity:Water, a New York-basednonprofit organization spearhead-ing water projects in developingnations.

Donations surged to more than$900,000 after Kristof’s columnappeared Aug. 11 and continuedupward.

Rachel turned 9 in June and, inlieu of birthday gifts, asked friendsand family members to donate toCharity:Water. The girl set a $300goal, but came up $80 short.

“In the midst of this grim sum-mer, my faith in humanity hasbeen restored by the saga ofRachel Beckwith,” Kristof wrote.“She could teach my generation agreat deal about maturity andunselfishness — even though she’sjust 9 years old, or was when shedied on July 23.”

In the days after a July 20 crashalong Interstate 90 in Bellevue,leaders at her church, EastLakeCommunity Church, askedCharity:Water to reactivate herdonation website.

Rachel’s mother, Samantha Paul,plans to travel to Africa on the one-year anniversary of her daughter’sdeath to see Charity:Water inaction. The organization has com-pleted 4,000 projects to provideclean water to more than 1.7 mil-

lion people in19 countries.

“All of us atCharity:Waterhave beenhumbled by thesacrifice andunselfishnessof this remark-able little girl,”founder andCEO ScottHarrison said

in a statement released after thetotal topped $1 million. “To borrowNick Kristof’s words, may we alllearn from Rachel Beckwith.”

Since Rachel succumbed toinjuries sustained in the accident,donations to Charity:Water startedto pour in, and the flow increasedto a deluge as local and nationalnews outlets covered the story.

“NBC Nightly News” and CBS’“The Early Show” featuredRachel’s last fundraiser in nationalbroadcasts.

King County prosecutors havefiled a seldom-used drug homicidecharge against a Seattle manaccused of selling a fatal dose ofheroin to a former Issaquah HighSchool student.

Investigators later determinedhis blood contained overdose lev-els of opiates. Police said Lyteradmitted his drug problem to fam-ily members not long before hedied. Officers discovered syringesand drug paraphernalia in hisroom during the investigation.

Pepka faces a charge for con-trolled substances homicide, acrime punishable by up to 10years in prison and up to a$20,000 fine. Under state law, acontrolled substances homicide istreated similar to manslaughter.

In order to convict Pepka, prose-cutors must prove he sold the fataldose of heroin to Lyter.Investigators said Pepka continuedto sell heroin after learning aboutLyter’s death from a 17-year-oldgirl.

“The defendant learned withindays of Lyter’s death that Lyter haddied as a result of using the herointhat he and a 17-year-old witnesspurchased from the defendant,”Deputy Prosecuting Attorney MaryBarbosa stated in charging docu-ments. “Nevertheless, on Aug. 3,2011, the defendant was againinvolved in the sale of heroin.”

Route 200 buses can continuerolling along downtown Issaquahstreets due to a last-minute agree-ment to avert steep cuts to KingCounty Metro Transit service.

King County Council members,after listening to more than1,000 people urge againstreduced bus service, enacted a$20 vehicle-tab fee Aug. 15 toforestall a 17-percent reductionto mass transit countywide.Metro Transit planners consid-ered eliminating Issaquah-cen-tric routes 200 and 927 in theproposed cutback.

In addition to enacting the vehi-cle-tab fee, the agreement callsfor Metro Transit to phase out thefree-ride zone in downtownSeattle in October 2012 and usesmaller 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 soften theimpact of the economic downturnon cash-strapped Metro Transit.The sales tax revenues the agencyuses to fund service plummeteddue to the anemic economy.

“The peopleof King Countyvoted withtheir feet, andthey over-w h e l m i n g l yturned out totell us to saveMetro Transitand keep busservice on thestreet,” CountyExecutive Dow

Constantine said in a statement.“They have been heard.”

The agreement also calls for thetransit agency to offer $24 in bustickets to people paying the vehi-cle-tab fee. People uninterested inthe tickets can instead donate thebalance to almost 150 human-services agencies.

The decisive support for theagreement came from theIssaquah representative,Councilwoman Kathy Lambert andCouncilwoman Jane Hague, anoth-er Eastside member.

Forging a ‘bipartisan agreement’Hague lobbied state legislators to

permit the County Council to enacta temporary fee to shore up fund-ing for mass transit. Gov. ChrisGregoire signed the legislation inMay.

“This bipartisan agreementaddresses my primary concernsand offers real reform for Metro,”Hague said in a statement. “It’s

Issaquah police officers plan tojoin a regional push to pull drunk-en drivers from local roads assummer comes to a close.

The agency is joining otherpolice departments in King County— and more than 10,000 lawenforcement agencies nationwide— from Aug. 19 to Sept. 5 in theDrive Hammered, Get Nailed cam-paign.

Beneath the clever title is a seri-ous message about the impacts ofdrunken driving and drivingunder the influence. DUI crashesclaimed 38 people on King Countyroads last year.

During the Drive Hammered,Get Nailed campaign last year,officers on routine and extrapatrols arrested 438 people forDUI. Overall, prosecutors charged9,521 people countywide for DUI

last year.Besides the Issaquah Police

Department, the DriveHammered, Get Nailed campaignincludes the nearby Bellevue,Newcastle, North Bend,Sammamish, Snoqualmie andRenton police departments, inaddition to the Washington StatePatrol.

The effort is organized and sup-ported under the aegis of the KingCounty Target Zero Task Force, aregional effort to crack down onunsafe driving practices.

“This summer, we have unfortu-nately seen the tragic conse-quences of DUI crashes in ourcommunities,” Kirkland PoliceSgt. Lisa Brouelette said in a state-ment. “We are here to get unsafedrivers off the road and encourageyou to plan for a sober ride homebefore going out.”

In addition, a state law — nick-named Hailey’s Law — to require

the towing of vehicles driven bydrivers arrested for DUI went intoeffect last month.

The law, a state patrol priorityduring the 2011 legislative ses-sion, sets a 12-hour mandatoryhold on such vehicles. The meas-ure is intended to preventimpaired drivers from returningto vehicles and driving again.

Only a registered or legal ownernot in the car at the time of arrestis allowed to pick up the car out ofimpound before the 12-hour holdexpires.

The measure is nicknamed forHailey French, a woman severelyinjured after a drunken driver hither in a head-on crash along theMount Baker Highway in January2007.

Police had arrested the drunkendriver, Janine Parker, hours earli-er, but did not book her into jail orimpound her vehicle.

“This new law helps eliminate

the danger of drunk drivers get-ting back into their cars and put-ting everyone at risk,” WashingtonTraffic Safety CommissionDirector Lowell Porter said in astatement. “Now, all drunk driversface the costs of towing andimpound in addition to jail time,losing their driver’s license andthe high cost of a DUI.”

“Our old machines had had it,”said Ross Hoover, recreationsupervisor for the IssaquahCommunity Center.

Hoover was referring to the 20or so exercise machines locatedoff to the side of the elevated run-ning track that encircles the cen-ter gymnasium.

Having built up a replacementfund in the past 15 years, the cityspent just under $40,000 on thenew machines, said Issaquah Parks& Recreation Director BrianBerntsen. The city got good use outof the old machines, Berntsenadded.

“We were able to get a lot moreout of them than most gyms,” hesaid.

Ranging from rowing machinesto various strength trainers, the 13pieces of new equipment arrived atthe center in July. Center officialsstill plan to bring in a few morenew items, specifically replacingwhat Hoover described as two out-dated treadmills.

On a recent afternoon, the stillgleaming new equipment alreadyon hand was helping about ahalf-dozen residents, mostly sen-ior citizens, stay in shape. Hooversaid the center attracts about2,000 to 3,000 members a year.The single largest demographic

group is, he added, Gold Passmembers, those 65 years of ageor older.

Gold Passes run $25 a year andinclude use of both the center andthe city swimming pool.

“It’s a great deal, you can’t beatthat,” said Bob Badolato, 71, whowas moving among the strengthtraining machines.

He works out at the center threetimes a week and said he wasexcited and happy to see the newmachines.

The old machines dated back toabout 1996, meaning they wereabout 15 years old, Hoover said.With the city’s permission, theequipment was donated toIssaquah Middle School. Machinesthere were 20 to 30 years old,according to Hoover.

“It was a good deal for them, itwas a good deal for us,” he added.“We’re catering to a group of peo-ple who don’t necessarily get to goto a fitness club.”

The community center ransome orientation classes for thenew machines shortly after theirarrival. Presently, visitors whowant specialized training on theequipment can hire a center-sup-plied personal trainer for a fee ontop of their center dues.

Located at 301 Rainier Blvd. S.,the Issaquah Community Center isopen six days a week from 5 a.m.to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday,and from 8-a.m. to 1 p.m.,Saturday.

The way King County leadersand residents interact is due tochange soon.

In a decision last month, leaderschanged how county governmentand unincorporated-area residentsinteract. Now, CountywideCommunity Forums of King County— a public-engagement programoverseen by the county auditor —is asking citizens for feedbackabout the updated outreach effort.The effort includes a forum at theIssaquah Library and a survey forresidents to complete online.

The outreach model adopted bythe County Council establisheseight to 12 community serviceareas to cover all rural and unin-corporated areas in sprawlingKing County, not just the communi-ties included in the six existingunincorporated area councils.

The updated framework calls fora single point of contact betweenresidents in each of the communi-ty service areas and county gov-ernment. Plans call for the stafferto hold meetings, develop workprograms and provide regularopportunities for homeowner asso-ciations, community developmentgroups and unincorporated areacouncils to meet county officials.

Unlike the earlier arrangement,the community service areasmodel is designed to encompasscommunities not represented by alocal unincorporated area council,such as Klahanie and theSnoqualmie Valley.

The decision affects the FourCreeks Unincorporated AreaCouncil, a liaison for unincorporat-ed area residents near Issaquah tothe county government based inSeattle. Leaders in the half-dozenunincorporated area councilsraised concerns about the updatedapproach in the lead-up to theCounty Council decision.

“This new model will supportstrong community leadership that isvital to informed policy making,”Councilman Joe McDermott, sponsorof the legislation, said after the coun-cil adopted the measure July 11. “Mycolleagues and I deeply appreciatethe continued service of communityadvocates. We look forward to work-ing together into the future.”

The council adopted the legislationin a unanimous decision and amidpraise from the Issaquah-area rep-resentatives, Councilwoman KathyLambert and Councilman Reagan

Dunn.“I appreciate the service of our

existing unincorporated area coun-cils. They have been working hardand providing our county leaderswith the unincorporated area per-spective for many years,” Dunnsaid in a statement after the coun-cil adopted the legislation. “I hopethis new framework can build onthose relationships and expandoutreach to other parts of the unin-corporated areas that don’t haveunincorporated area councils.”

Lambert said the updated frame-work should provide opportunitiesfor more groups in the unincorpo-rated areas to participate in thedecision-making process.

“The council and the executivewill be working together to makesure the concerns of residents areconsidered in both the legislativeand executive branches of govern-ment,” she said in a statement.“We want greater participation sothat we can set goals that are mon-itored to improve engagement withrural residents.”

County Executive DowConstantine is scheduled to delivera proposal to implement the com-munity service areas plan in the2012 county budget. The budget isdue to be transmitted to the coun-cil in late September.

Meeting to focus onKing County outreach

The state Department ofEcology needs 245 peoplebetween the ages of 18 and 25 toplant native shrubs and trees,restore salmon-bearing streams,respond to emergencies andmore.

The agency is seeking appli-cants to the WashingtonConservation Corps, a programto put young adults, includingmilitary veterans, on the job atprojects in 16 countiesstatewide.

For the 2011-12 service year,the Department of Ecologyintends to hire 150 WashingtonConservation Corps AmeriCorpsmembers using a $2 millionAmeriCorps grant from the stateCommission for National andCommunity Service.

AmeriCorps Education Awardsreceived through the Corps

Network, a national service part-ner, support the remaining posi-tions.

AmeriCorps members sign onfor a year of service from Octoberto September 2012. Memberswork on environmental and com-munity service projects, as well asdisaster response.

Members earn $8.67 an hourand receive a $5,550 AmeriCorpseducation award upon completingthe service year. The award maybe used for student loans or futuretuition expenses.

The state created theWashington Conservation Corps in1983 to provide jobs and worktraining for about 1,600 youngadults. In 1994, the program start-ed receiving federal AmeriCorpsfunding, allowing crews to carryout on-the-ground projects acrossthe state.

In the past year, WashingtonConservation Corps membersrestored streams in the Issaquaharea and built trails across theIssaquah Alps.

“In a tight economy, the WCC ismaking a critical difference for ouryoung adults, our communitiesand environment,” WashingtonConservation Corps official NickMott said in a news release. “Byproviding practical job experienceand critical professional training,more than half of our memberscontinue on to full-time employ-ment or go on to further their edu-cation.”

State lawmakers recently creat-ed the Puget Sound Corps as apartnership between theDepartment of Ecology and thestate Department of NaturalResources.

The legislation calls for the

Puget Sound Corps to supportthe Puget Sound Partnership’sagenda to restore, protect andpreserve the sound by 2020. Theofficial rollout of the PugetSound Corps is due to occursoon.

said Linda Hall, YWCA of Seattle-King-Snohomish senior director ofhousing development and opera-tions. “It’s one thing to have thebricks and sticks, but it’s some-thing else to have the peoplethere.”

Webb, 50, learned about FamilyVillage in the months before thecomplex opened to tenants.

“I became aware that I mightqualify when I was volunteering forthe Compassion House,” Webbsaid. “I was tooling around on theCompassion House website, andfound application forms for thefamilies. You know, I qualify, so Iapplied, and lo and behold, I get tobe the very first resident.”

The potential tenants must meetminimum and maximum incomesto qualify. Most residents earn 50percent or less of the medianincome in King County, or less than$40,700 per year for a family offour, as determined by federal cal-culations. The complex alsoincludes apartments set aside fortenants earning 60 percent of themedian income, and others for res-idents at the low end of the incomespectrum. Family Village rentsrange from almost $400 to $1,145for a unit.

“We want to make sure that peo-ple don’t overextend themselves,but we also don’t want to pricethem out,” Hall said.

Managers also complete a rigor-ous process to check credit, pastrental history and criminal back-ground — sex offenders and peopleconvicted of violent crimes do notqualify — of potential tenants.

“We tell people, ‘What we’relooking for is to make sure thatyou’ll be a good renter and alsoyou’ll respect the residence, thephysical component, as well asother residents,’” Hall said.

Confronting a need for housingTim Overland, chief operating

officer at Seattle-based affordablehousing developer SecurityProperties, said nonprofit and for-profit builders in the Puget Soundarea construct affordable andworkforce housing at a robustpace.

“Unfortunately, I think generallyspeaking, the need tends to out-weigh the supply of affordablehousing,” he said.

The available affordable andworkforce housing units offer achoice for a middle class squeezedamid the economic downturn anda high cost of living in King County.

“What we see in our affordableprojects are really those folks —the teachers, service workers, andcops and firefighters — who earnmaybe $50,000, $75,000, $80,000and want to live close in, want tolive in a new apartment with all ofthe current amenities, but at thesame time can’t afford $2,000-plusper month in rent,” Overland said.“Or, if they could, they’d be sacri-ficing in other discretionary spend-ing areas.”

Pam Mauk, executive director atthe Together Center, a human-serv-ices clearinghouse in Redmond,said perceptions of affluence oftencloud the need for affordable hous-ing and other services.

“From the human services side,we get frustrated because so manypeople don’t realize there’s anissue at hand, or feel like we live insuch a well-off community thatthere’s no issue,” she said.

In addition to facilitating FamilyVillage in the highlands, Issaquahleaders continue a yearslong effortto open a human services campussimilar to the Together Center inthe city.

Former Councilman JohnRittenhouse, a leader in theEastside human-services commu-nity, said the overall effort is meantto reflect the community at large.

“One of the things, I think, that

happens if your community doesn’treflect the larger community interms of economics is that yourcommunity starts becoming isolat-ed and it no longer reflects thecommunity values,” he said. “Youcan essentially turn yourself into agated community without thegate.”

Building a community for allMayor Ava Frisinger, a longtime

project supporter, credited YWCAprograms for offering educationand empowerment to women.

“Some people said the YWCAgave them the skills and the abilityto tackle challenges that life hadthrown at them — and to tacklethose things very well,” she said.

Issaquah builds a “richer com-munity, and one in which peoplewill be able to participate becausethey’ll be living here and volun-teering in the community,”Frisinger said. “I can’t even imag-ine how many things people will bedoing in the community, but greatthings.”

The opening also reflects a com-mitment to affordable housingfrom highlands developer PortBlakely Communities. The develop-ment agreement for the highlandsrequires at least 30 percent afford-able housing in the community.

“Over a decade ago, Port BlakelyCommunities sought to redefinecommunity by creating a new kindof mixed-use urban-village com-munity,” said René Ancinas, presi-dent and CEO of parent companyPort Blakely Companies. “We envi-sioned a place with a mix of neigh-borhoods and diverse homes. It’sgratifying to see this vision contin-ue to come to life.”

Family Village is not the onlyaffordable housing effort in theneighborhood. Habitat forHumanity of East King County alsoplans to open highlands residencessoon.

“That’s something that has beenan important thing within theIssaquah Highlands, because withthe Issaquah Highlands, weworked very hard to have socioe-conomic diversity and ethnic diver-sity and all different kinds of diver-sities in the very strong belief thatthat is of value to our community,”Frisinger said.

The city donated the land forFamily Village in May 2008.Leaders gathered at the windsweptsite in December 2009 for agroundbreaking ceremony.

The construction team includednumerous women, including thearchitect, the project manager andmembers of the crews hangingdrywall and pouring concrete.

‘It’s good now to be a survivor’Rittenhouse said the plan offered

by the YWCA impressed municipalofficials and highlands residents.

“They just had a very compellingvision. They understood what theneeds were and they understoodhow to satisfy those needs,” hesaid. “On the operational end, theywere very, very clear about howthe facility was going to run.”

In the months before the cere-mony, YWCA planners started a

long rollout to answer highlandsresidents’ questions about thefacility.

Nina Milligan, highlands resi-dent and an Urban VillageDevelopment Commission mem-ber, raised concerns about thelocation. (The commission over-sees large-scale projects in Talusand the highlands, includingFamily Village.)

“The questions that I hadregarded, how is that housingcommunity going to be embracedby the rest of the IssaquahHighlands?” she recalled. “My con-cern was that it sat off on the edgeof our development. It’s a facilitythat I wanted to see have greatconnections to the greaterIssaquah Highlands.”

Milligan said the public spacesand facilities open to other high-lands residents at Family Village —connectors to the surroundingcommunity — assuaged the con-cerns.

“I think it says about Issaquahthat it’s a place to live for so manypeople, from families to independ-ent people to retired people,” shesaid. “And it’s a place that wants tobe for folks who can live here theirwhole life.”

So, community programs, suchas Zumba classes at the FamilyVillage community center, andchild care at Bright HorizonsFamily Solutions, remain open tothe public, not just residents.

Family Village is also designedas a “green” showcase. Hall saidthe project is under review forLeadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design Gold certifi-cation.

(Under LEED, Projects receivepoints for sustainable features, andcertification levels range fromCertified, at the lowest level, toSilver, Gold and Platinum.)

The “green” features impressedWebb — and offered lessons incomposting, energy efficiency andrainwater recycling.

“The best part for me, the‘green’ part, is that we collect ourown rainwater on our roofs —which is why they’re shaped theway they are — and then we waterall of our native plants with ourrainwater,” she said.

Webb, joined by cats Puddy Pieand Jellybean — “I know, I’m 5,”Webb offers in explanation of thecats’ names — enjoys strollsaround the almost-completed com-plex. Puddy Pie tolerates a leash;Jellybean rides, Cleopatra-style, ina carrier.

“I’ve met many of my neighborsdue to the cat walking and the spec-tacle of it all,” she said. “To a per-son, my neighbors are wonderful.”

The experience is something tosavor for the domestic abuse sur-vivor. The small freedoms gratifyWebb as she rebuilds at FamilyVillage.

“I’m able to recover areas of mylife that were taken away and partsof my life that I gave up,” she said.“It’s good now to be a survivor.”

Lizzie Webb, who in late May became the first resident of YWCA Family Villageat Issaquah, sits on the sofa in her bright, modestly-furnished apartment.


Local school officials may bemoving toward establishing acommon schedule for at leastthree of the district’s four highschools.

Among other factors, the movewould allow the schools to take bet-ter advantage of their resources andpool certain professional develop-ment activities, according to districtSuperintendent Steve Rasmussen.

“We believe not being on a com-mon schedule is hurting us,” saidPatrick Murphy, district executivedirector of secondary education.

Murphy and Rasmussen madetheir comments during a speciallyscheduled, daylong meeting of theIssaquah School Board held Aug. 3.

Even as he contended unifyingthe schedules would allow the dis-trict to take advantage of somepracticalities, Murphy also told theboard any discussion of commonhigh school schedules likely wouldlead to a wide-ranging — andhopefully beneficial — discussion ofeducational efforts at those schools.

As just one example of how dif-fering schedules at the highschools hurt the district, Murphymentioned how the schools want-ed to share a language teacher.Officials were unable to do sobecause of scheduling problems.

In broader terms, Murphy saidunifying the operations of the highschools could have some pro-

found effects. Currently, LibertyHigh School offers move electivesthan the other secondary schools.

But Issaquah and Skyline highschool students receive moreinstructional hours per class thantheir counterparts at Liberty.Liberty students average 63 hoursof instruction time for each course,while that same figure is roughly80 at both Issaquah and Skyline,Murphy said. Those numbers couldchange drastically with a unifiedschedule in place, he added.

To study the idea of unifiedschedules, Murphy proposed for-mation of a 20- to 25-membercommittee consisting of the prin-cipals from each high school,along with teachers, parents andstudent representatives. Healready had a long list of issuesthe group could study.

Murphy said officials need tolearn what type of instructionaltime is the most beneficial to stu-dents. Is there an optimal amountof instructional time, or should itvary by discipline or possibly bytime of year? How do schools pro-mote contact between studentsand teachers outside normalclassroom time?

In answering questions fromschool board member SuzanneWeaver, Murphy said the groupwould need to look at best prac-tices from each school as well asconsider new educational tech-niques. Answering other boardquestions, Murphy said there

probably is no one perfect sched-ule for the high schools.

While Murphy talked a lot aboutunifying high school schedules, hesaid he didn’t want to give theimpression such a change is a fore-gone conclusion. While he predict-ed that a unified schedule wouldemerge, he left open the possibilitythat the committee will find such aschedule is a bad idea. Officials alsoneed to decide how much toinclude Tiger Mountain CommunityHigh School, the district’s alterna-tive high school, in the mix.

For the most part, school boardmembers came out neither for oragainst the idea of unifying highschool schedules. Board memberJan Woldseth Colbrese said shehopes the committee will consist ofteachers from various disciplines.

No specific timetable was set forthe formation of the committee,though Murphy said he hopes tohave some recommendationsready for the board by the end ofthe calendar year. A progressreport might be before boardmembers next month.

In an email sent to teachers andparents at the end of the lastschool year, Rasmussen said hefirst publicly broached the idea ofunifying high school schedules.He received only three responses,none of them negative. Still, theissue is a hot topic, he said.

“People are concerned aboutschedules,” he said. “You mentionthat and you have their attention.”

Ride shotgun on state patrol’ssocial-media blitz Aug. 17

Residents curious about a dayin the life of a Washington StatePatrol trooper can live the experi-ence Aug. 17 — on Facebook andTwitter, at least.

The state patrol plans a social-media blitz from 6 a.m. to mid-night to show citizens a side of theagency beyond the people in cam-paign hats and bowties.

“Most people see only our

troopers patrolling the highwaysand responding to incidents,”said Capt. Jason Berry, com-mander of the state patrol’s Officeof Government and MediaRelations. “We do a lot of otherwork we think people will findinteresting.”

The mission serves a dual pur-pose. Barry said the social-mediaeffort is also intended to providetransparency.

For 18 hours, troopers plan totweet and update to show what

agency employees do — trooperson traffic stops or responding tocollisions, forensic scientists check-ing DNA samples, deputy state firemarshals conducting inspections,commercial vehicle enforcementofficers inspecting school busesand more.

Issaquah police officers encoun-tered a difficult-to-wrangle oppo-nent in the Issaquah Highlands onJuly 26 — goats munching acrossthe landscape.

Police responded to a report ofa goat in the street nearNorthwest Village Park Drive andChampery Place Northwest atabout 12:30 p.m. and, at thescene, found a citizen holding agoat on a dog leash. The officermanaged to corral the goat into afenced area.

Then, as the officer returned tothe patrol cruiser, the citizen

yelled and said more goats hadescaped from the fenced area.

The officer herded five moregoats and returned the ruminantsto the fenced area. In the mean-time, about 20 more goatsescaped and ran into NorthwestVillage Park Drive, prompting theofficer to call for backup.

Moments later, three more offi-cers responded to the scene tohelp contain the goats.

The initial officer on the sceneasked the dispatcher to contact theIssaquah Highlands CommunityAssociation and the municipalPublic Works OperationsDepartment to determine thegoats’ owner. The officer also

asked for public works crews tohelp wrangle the goats.

Together, police officers and pub-lic works employees managed toreturn the goats to the fenced area.The goats’ owner then arrived andsecured the fenced area.

The animals sometimes escapefrom designated areas. Officersalso acted as herders May 30 aftersome animals escaped.

Since June 2009, goat land-scapers turned from a curiosity toa summertime tradition in thehighlands. The ruminants, acheaper and more eco-consciousoption than traditional clearingmethods, eat tall grasses andinvasive plant species.

When there’s a community need, Issaquahtakes care of its own. And Issaquah residentsalways put education on a pedestal. Schoolwill soon be starting and parents have al-ready begun the major shopping spree to

outfit returning students. Not every parent has the means.The need for back-to-school supplies is critical. Have you

thought to buy an extra box of crayons?The Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank expects about 500

children of their clients will need backpacks filled with note-books, paper, crayons and marker pens, red and blue pens,erasers and glue. And those are just among the minimumneeds.

Younger kids need scissors and rulers and a box of tissueto stock the classroom. Older students need everything in-cluding scientific calculators, memory sticks and compositionnotebooks.

Parents can turn to the clothing bank for donated jeansand shirts, but parents who are trying to keep the rent paidcould use some help with new socks and shoes.

This is the week when donations must peak so backpackscan be filled and provided in time for the first day of schoolon Aug. 30.

Donations can be brought to the food bank, 179 First Ave.S.E. (just north of the city pool), any day of the week. Desig-nated cash donations are also welcome.

Other organizations — primarily churches — are also col-lecting school supplies. Friends of Youth Issaquah, 414 FrontSt. N., is primarily collecting supplies for teens.

Beware of store drop boxes that are collecting school do-nations for out-of-town organizations — if giving locally is apriority to you.

Let’s make sure every Issaquah student will return toschool with excitement, ready to learn. What’s more excitingthan a new box of crayons?

Gravity car race

LEO thanks community for helpingput on another successful program

Life Enrichment Options, a local nonprofitorganization that supports people with disabili-ties, would like to express our sincere appreci-ation to the Rotary Club of Issaquah for its con-tinued efforts in organizing and sponsoring yetanother successful gravity car race for thosewith special needs.

Many children overcame their fear to get in acar and were rewarded with a thrilling ride.The “thumbs up” sign and ear-to-ear grinsshowed how proud they were of their accom-plishments. Every rider was a winner, and gothis or her trophy and certificate with a picturein a car.

The event would not be possible without thewonderful volunteers of the Rotary Club of Is-saquah, Athletes for Kids, Issaquah HighSchool wrestlers, Liberty High School cheer-leaders, the Mercer Island V.O.I.C.E. program,and especially Leo Finnegan who started thisamazing program.

Funding education

The proper role of governmentisn’t to cut education, schools

Some folks seem pretty riled up, rightly so inmy opinion, about the new fees the govern-ment has imposed on citizens who want to usepublic parks.

This is one of a host of issues that has arisenin these budget-cutting times. Gov. Gregoireand the state Legislature worked overtime tocraft a new budget, making huge cuts in manydifferent programs, and I’m sure their job wasnot easy.

But what did they choose to cut? Did they

trim the size of government the way a CEOwould a company, eliminating redundant andoutdated programs, superfluous agencies, over-staffing and overpaid positions?

In a few cases, yes, and they get credit forthat. But in the big picture, they did take theeasy way out, whacking billions from schools,parks, roads and other obligations we, as citi-zens, have a right to expect our government tofulfill.

What it boils down to is the proper role ofgovernment. It seems to me our public ser-vants in Olympia (and Washington, D.C.) havelost their bearings and can no longer distin-guish between what the government should doand what it shouldn’t.

But is that the only reason? Or do they setout to intentionally punish us citizens, makingsure cuts hurt as much as possible to set us upfor tax increases later?

Which part of “public parks” is ambigu-ous? Which part of “freeway” implies tolls?How many bridges to nowhere do we getwhile we chop down our kids’ bridges to ed-ucation?

I can only hope that we citizens will be vigi-lant, thoughtful and judicious and take thetime and effort to studiously screen candidatesin upcoming elections. Every public servantwe elect, whether local, state or federal, hasan effect on the government we get. And, asthe saying goes, we get the government we de-serve.

Animal cruelty

Tell Department of Fish and Wildlifethat hunting cougars is wrong

Cougar Mountain Zoo’s cute cougar cubswould have a low probability of reaching matu-rity were they born wild, in spite of the factthat cougars are the most efficient hunters of

the cat family. Cougars make a living by stayingout of sight, thus it’s a special treat to see these“ghost cats” at close range.

Recently, I attended the stakeholders’Cougar Forum hosted by Washington Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife, wherein two emi-nent scientists on the panel presented studiesshowing that disruption of cougar social sys-tems by sports hunting results in chaotic ter-ritories and potentially increased depreda-tion.

While citizens charge the department to useobjective science for wildlife decisions, the de-partment pushes for sports hound hunting ofcougars, in spite of science and in spite of thedepartment’s staff biologists. The departmentpresented no countermanding science to thelarge body of evidence regarding hunting’s eco-logical disruptions.

Washington voted to stop the inhumanesports hounding of cougars. Current depart-ment surveys show citizens are still againstsports hounding. In spite of this, the depart-ment and certain legislators continue to pushfor hounding, all to quiet a minuscule lobby ofhowling hunters and ranchers. Our legislativedistrict passed the hounding ban by 63 per-cent, yet our state senator, Cheryl Pflug, votedthis past session to reinstate hound-huntingcougars.

Currently, Washington’s cougar populationestimate is fewer than 2,000 cats, a 35 percentfreefall since the 1996 ban on sports houndhunting. This death spiral is pursuant towholesale giveaways of hunting tags (morethan 60,000 tags at about $6 to $12 — upfrom about a 1,000 tags pre-ban) to killcougars, and special “pilot programs” pushedthrough by the department and the Legislatureto allow sports hunting with dogs — all inspite of society’s disapproval of this cruel andbloody sport.

You can call the department at 360-902-2200 to tell it, “No hounding!”

In final fundraiser, girlinspires deluge to charity

The mission is aboutwater and the re-sponse — outpouring,actually — came as adeluge.

Rachel Beckwith, a 9-year-oldlocal girl injured in a pileupalong Interstate 90 late lastmonth, continues to inspirepeople around the globe, al-most a month after she suc-cumbed to injuries sustained inthe crash.

Fortunately, the terrible acci-dent along the interstate doesnot define Rachel’s legacy.

In life, Rachel asked people todonate to Charity:Water, a NewYork-based nonprofit organiza-tion formed to complete drink-ing water projects in some ofthe poorest nations on theplanet.

In death, Rachel created alegacy rooted in her generosity.

In the days after the July 20accident, family and other mem-bers at EastLake CommunityChurch requested forCharity:Water to reactivateRachel’s fundraising website.

See, a month before the acci-dent, Rachel hoped to raise $300for the nonprofit organization tocreate a source of clean drinkingwater in developing nations.Rather than birthday presents,she asked people to donate to thecharity.

In the end, she raised $220 —a laudable amount, but notquite the goal she had hopedfor.

In the aftermath of the acci-dent, donors soon outpaced theinitial $300 goal and, as moreand more people learned about

the mission,the totalreachedmilestone af-ter mile-stone. Then,less than amonth afterRachel diedat Har-borviewMedical Cen-ter, the figurereached $1million.

The cause,buoyed by seg-ments on CBSand NBC news-casts, plus arti-cle after articlein regional andnational news-papers, in-spired peopleacross theUnited States,but alsoaround theglobe. Themessagespread to thefar corners of social mediasites, too.

Many people donated to Char-ity:Water in $9 increments — anod to the birthday Rachel cele-brated not long before the acci-dent.

Rachel’s last mission is also inpart a reflection of the surround-ing community. People in Is-saquah and nearby recognizeand indeed cherish efforts to

groups and nonprofit organiza-tions raise dollars to travel topoor and war-torn nations tobuild schools, deliver medicalsupplies and even donate socceruniforms.

The community is generousamid the holiday season, sure,but people also donate thebounty from summertime com-munity gardens and stuff back-packs for students headed backto school.

The commitment to commu-nity and service is intrinsic. Thenumbers reflect the trend.

The volunteer rate in GreaterSeattle is No. 4 among largecities, the federal Corporation for

National & Community Serviceannounced in a recent report.(The folks in Minneapolis-St.Paul, Minn., claimed the topspot; Minnesota Nice is a docu-mented phenomenon.)

Statewide, Washingtonranked No. 11 out of the 50states and Washington, D.C., forthe percentage of residents en-gaged in volunteer activities.Translated into plain English,the figure means EvergreenState residents donated 218.9million hours of service lastyear.

The numbers show how im-pressive the community is enmasse, but one person can enactlasting change, too.

critical that we keep people andbusinesses moving on the Eastside— especially during these tougheconomic times. This new packagecreates jobs and provides equityfor the Eastside.”

In June, Constantine proposedcreating a $20 vehicle-tab fee —billed as a congestion-reductioncharge — for 2012-13 to generatefunds for Metro Transit. Under thestate legislation, the fee is due togo into effect six months afterConstantine signs the measureinto law.

The initial proposal attractedsupport from the Democrats onthe council, but not enough toclear the supermajority threshold.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 members heardfrom more than 1,000 people at aseries of public hearings in thedays before a planned July 25decision on the fee. The councilopted to shift the decision to Aug.15 to allow for a possible solu-tion.

“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 saidin a statement. “My colleaguesand I will continue to worktogether to find long-term, sus-tainable funding for Metro to keepour region moving for years tocome.”

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. Thegroups joined together and advo-cated for the fee as the TransitRescue Coalition.

Issaquah councilmen FredButler and Joshua Schaer joined27 other elected officials fromacross King County to urge theCounty Council to enact the fee.The councilmen signed a letterfrom the coalition.

“We recognize this is a difficultvote while we are still recoveringfrom a tough recession,” the letterstates. “But we believe that all cit-izens 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 East KingCounty.

“It does not mean there will notbe any changes to the system, butreducing the system 17 percent isoff the table for two years,”Jacobson said.

Issaquah Burger King at about8 p.m. May 3 to complete thetransaction, court documentsstate. Investigators said Lyterused $60 from the girl to pur-chase the drug.

Police said she and Lyter start-ed using heroin together a cou-ple of times each week in themonths before he died. The girlalso told investigators Lyteralways made the arrangementsto buy the drug, court documentscontinue.

Pepka and Lyter exchanged aseries of text messages May 3 toset up the heroin transaction.

They intended to meet at adrugstore in Factoria, butchanged the location to theIssaquah fast-food restaurant.

“How long till you’re here?”

Lyter asked in a message to Pepkaat 7:40 p.m. “My friend I’m withgotta go very soon.”

Just after the transaction,Lyter prepared some heroin andinjected himself while in thevehicle in the Burger King park-ing lot, the girl later told police.They then left the restaurant andreturned to the Lyter residence,and injected more heroin insidehis bedroom, court documentscontinue.

Police used the girl’s statement,Lyter’s cellphone records andstatements from Lyter’s father toidentify Pepka as the source of thefatal heroin dose.

“In several of Pepka’s texts, heacknowledged his involvement inthe heroin delivery to Lyter,”Bellevue Detective Jerry Johnsonstated in court documents. “Pepkaalso attempted to minimize hisinvolvement at times by indicatingthat he was just a middle man inthe transactions and that Lyteralso assumed the risk that can be

involved in heroin use.”Bellevue police officers conduct-

ed surveillance on Pepka onAug. 3. Investigators said theyobserved him driving the silverToyota Corolla the girl haddescribed seeing in the BurgerKing parking lot.

The officers observed Pepkaselling heroin to a 32-year-oldman in Mountlake Terrace. Thecustomer later told police he start-ed buying heroin from Pepka inearly 2011, and they used herointogether.

Police later arrested Pepka,but he declined to give a state-ment to investigators. He posted$50,000 bail and authoritiesreleased him from the KingCounty Jail the afternoon ofAug. 4. He is due in King CountySuperior Court for arraignmentAug. 18.

When he hunted her down look-ing for a job at the IssaquahSalmon Hatchery, Brian Hoefgnsaid Celina Steiger, the hatchery’seducation coordinator, asked himto name the different types ofsalmon.

Hoefgn, 22, said he was able tocome up with four of the sevensalmon species but got the job de-spite some initial gaps in hissalmon knowledge.

With AmeriCorps VISTA supply-ing him with what he described asa small stipend, the Issaquah na-tive and gradu-ate of SkylineHigh Schoolnow certainlyknows allseven salmontypes and quitea bit moreabout the fishas well. Hoefgnhas spent thesummer shar-ing his knowl-edge with area youngsters en-rolled in the hatchery’s SummerSalmon Camps.

“It’s really fun working with theyounger kids,” said Hoefgn, whofirst shared the salmon story with9- to 11-year-olds at a farm pro-gram in Fall City. Now, he’s backat the Issaquah hatchery andworking with even younger youthsand about to take on the hatch-ery’s first preschool program.

“There’s a lot of experiencesI’ve had here that I couldn’t haveany place else,” Hoefgn said.

A June graduate of the Univer-sity of Washington with a bache-lor’s degree in environmental sci-ences, Hoefgn said he just walkedinto the hatchery “and startedknocking on doors” looking for aposition. Now, while his VISTAgrant runs out at the end of themonth, Hoefgn said he doesn’twant to leave the hatchery.

“I feel like I’m at home here,like this is where I belong,” hesaid.

While he hasn’t always been anexpert on salmon, Hoefgn said hehas long appreciated their impor-tance to Issaquah and the wholeregion. While his interest in theenvironment should be obviousfrom his college major, Hoefgnsaid some time spent studying inIsrael and Jordan really got himlooking at water and fish conser-vation. He noted that Jordan isthe fourth most water-deprivedcountry on the planet, adding Jor-danians go to great lengths tomake the most of every existingdrop.

Further, while in Israel, Hoefgnsaid he made a side trip to Cairo.

“There’s just garbage every-where, all along the roads, in thewater,” Hoefgn said.

He asked some local fishermanwhat their catch was like and wastold it didn’t amount to much.

Closer to home, most know thatwhile this area still is famous forsalmon, that population is in trou-ble. Hoefgn said he believes an-other species of salmon almostcertainly will be added to the en-dangered species list sometimesoon.

As you might guess, the prom-ise had to do with his health andfitness. A former athlete,Pariseau vowed he would be oneagain, his goal being to run amarathon.

He did, about a year later,crossing the finish line of the2010 Rock ‘n’ Roll SeattleMarathon.

“When I first started, I couldn’teven run a mile,” Pariseau said.

After completing the marathon,Pariseau decided he needed anew goal. He didn’t exactly set hissights low.

Mostly for fun, he said,Pariseau decided he was going torun from the Issaquah REI wherehe works to a Portland REI. Hefurther decided he wanted to doit in a week. And then he noticedthat the 185-mile distance, di-vided by seven, just happened toequal about 26.

In other words, Pariseau madeup his mind to run sevenmarathons in seven days. He

completed the feat Aug. 3.“Shock,” Pariseau said. “Shock

and disbelief.” Those were the common reac-

tions when he told people whathe intended, Pariseau added. Asfor himself, on the first day out,

he admitted he was nervous, butnot entirely for the reasons youmight think.

While Pariseau said he ran“tons of miles” to prepare, hecouldn’t run at all for three weeksprior to his slated start date.While mountain biking with somefriends, a mishap had him flyingover his own handlebars. Heended up with what he called aclassic case of whiplash, whichput him temporarily out of com-mission.

Intern shareslove of salmon

at hatcheryyouth program

By Sebastian MoragaIssaquah Press reporter

For a game played with bigmallets, this particularly croquetgame was sedate and relaxed.

The rivalry was elsewhere. The host was Lynda Kilpatrick,

a member of the Kiwanis Club ofKiwanis. The co-host for the“Redneck Croquet” dinner washer husband John, a Rotary Clubof Seattle member.

It didn’t get more heated thanthat. The game itself ended up ina rain-soaked tie and the playerstook it in stride.

The only thing heated about theJuly 15 match was a huge pot inthe backyard of the Kilpatrick’shome.

The highlight of the game wasthe subsequent dinner, boiling in-side said pot.

“The dump dinner is a tradi-tion,” said Connie Fletcher, a Ki-wanis member and former Is-saquah School Board member.“Rotary had it, then it was gonefor a few years and I brought it

back through Kiwanis.”Born in the South, the dump

dinner consists of seafood, meatsand corn boiling inside the pot.When they are done, the contentsof the pot get dumped on a tableand people dig in.

To honor the dinner’s Southernorigins, post-game snacks and re-freshments consisted of cheapbeer, fried bologna sandwichesand Moon Pies.

Fletcher — who donated thedinner and game as part of theKiwanis’ community auction —laughed as she talked about thegame.

“It’s an unconventional croquetgame, with very relaxed rules,” shesaid, “an unusual obstacle courseand things you would not find in aregulation court, like a tractor.”

This year’s game did not have atractor, but it had the feel of apractice more than an actualmatch, with plenty of do-oversand with Issaquah resident and

Nightly dinner isa chance for agood meal, talk


“You better watch him, he’shomeless,” a visitor called outfrom the other side of the Is-saquah Community Hall on Sun-set Way.

The target of the jibe justlaughed as he talked with a re-porter, knowing that both and heand his would-be tormentor areindeed homeless.

They both also were tabbed asregulars at the free meals at thehall by Catholic Community Ser-vices.

Volunteers serve up the din-ners at 5:30 p.m. Mondaythrough Friday at 180 E. SunsetWay.

“I come mostly for the cama-raderie,” said the visitor, who de-clined to give his name.

He said he’d been coming tothe community hall for almost ayear and knew quite a few of theother regulars among the visitorsand the program volunteers.

Adria Briehl is a volunteer co-ordinator for the Seattle-basedCCS and director of the localmeal program. CCS began offer-ing the dinners in 1989, but theprogram is still not very wellknown, Briehl said.

The meals are offered to any-one who shows up, no questionsasked. Visitors usually numberabout 30 each evening. Manyclients are homeless, but Briehlsaid she also sees plenty of sen-iors and others just looking tohelp make ends meet.

“A lot of people don’t thinkthere’s homelessness in Is-saquah,” Briehl said. “It justlooks different than it does inSeattle.”

According to Briehl, many lo-cal homeless people stay in thenatural areas around Issaquah,in the lower portions of thearea’s three mountainsides. In

fact, several visitors to the com-munity hall on this night talkedabout camping out in the Cas-cade foothills.

In addition to regular visitors,the program also has a numberof regular volunteers. Sylvia Ma-son said she been helping withthe meals for more than eightyears, until recently spendingfive nights a week at the commu-nity hall.

“I come here to volunteer andto help with my food budget,”Mason said. “If I had to buy gro-ceries, I wouldn’t be able to drivea car. This really helps me out alot.”

Briehl and Mason said a localchurch or community organiza-tion provides each day’s meal.The city of Issaquah donatesmoney toward supplies, such aspaper plates and napkins.

On this night, volunteers fromIssaquah’s Soma Communitiescome and go, dropping off wholeroasted chickens, mashed pota-toes, vegetables, rice, salad anddesert. A few stick around to putout the food and serve it.

“We’ve all been through hardtimes before,” said GailKurpgeweit, as she carved up thechicken for serving.

Thanks to what Briehl de-scribed as major donations fromthe Rotary Club of Issaquah andthe Sammamish Presbyterian

The terrorist attacks on Sept.11, 2001, reshaped the UnitedStates forever. In addition to thetragedies in New York City, Wash-ington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa.,the attacks left indelible memoriesfor people across the nation, in-cluding in Issaquah.

Pariseau said he never doubtedhe was going to at least attemptthe run. REI offers its employeesso-called challenge grants, whichinclude time off for athletic un-dertakings and free equipment.Once he was on the road,Pariseau added he felt fine thatfirst day, which, mostly by coin-cidence, ended at his home inFederal Way.

Initially, Pariseau planned tocamp on the roadside during thetrip along with his wifeStephanie and their two chil-dren, Quinn, 16, and Tessa, 14.

“We had problems trying tofind places,” Pariseau said, sothe family ended up returning toFederal Way after each day’srun, except for the last. Thechange in plans meant a lot ofdriving back and forth along theroad to Portland.

“It was kind of amazing howmuch of a team effort this turnedout to be,” Pariseau said.

Both of his children accompa-nied their dad on the road for at

least part of the way, whileStephanie Pariseau regularlyshot ahead of him by a few milesin the family car. When hecaught up, he said he woulddown protein drinks Stephaniehad mixed. She told her husbandmixing the drink reminded her ofmixing baby formula.

Pariseau said he hit a wall ofsorts on the third day. He seri-ously started doubting whetherthe run was worth the effort. Heended up powering through andon the fourth day, he said, histraining just kind of kicked in.From there on, he said the runwas largely smooth sailing.

“There were so many areas ofsolitude,” Pariseau said.

needed to do something about allthis,” he said. “We have a prettyspecial animal here and I don’tthink we realize how special it is.”

Hoefgn said he believes that tosome extent locals hear so muchabout salmon that they tend totake the fish for granted. Still,Hoefgn said he’s seen plenty ofinterest in the fish displayed byvisitors to the hatchery, bothyoungsters and adults.

“People come here and theyare curious,” he said.

Besides the Middle East, Hoe-fgn has visited China and Aus-tralia. During his time in the lat-ter nation, he said he paid hisway partly by “WWOOFing it.”The acronym stands for WillingWorkers On Organic Farms. Hoe-fgn said in exchange for a placeto stay, he worked six or sevenhours a day with local growers.

For the future, Hoefgn said hehopes to go into environmentallaw. For now, he’s trying to ex-tend his stay at the hatchery,saying once more that he likesworking with the youngsters inhis salmon classes.

“I feel like a big kid myself,” hesaid.

croquet lover Dan Andersonteaching players about the game.

Anderson, who built a croquetcourt on his property and hostedthe game last year, has describedthe evening as “a huge party.”

“There’s lots of beer drinking,a huge bathtub-sized pot ofseafood stew, corn on the coband beer, and some other fix-ings,” he added.

The game born in the prim-and-proper shadows of the

British Empire finds a more re-laxed imitation in Issaquah.

That is, until Rotarians starttalking about Kiwanians and viceversa. Then, people are bound toget feelings hurt, and not neces-sarily with a mallet.

As the pot boiled and the play-ers waited, John started telling astory about a young Rotarian.

Lynda pounced right in.“Young Rotarian,” she said.

“That’s kind of an oxymoron,isn’t it?”

Church, plans are in the works fora major renovation of the hall’ssmallish kitchen. Briehl said thework would include new cabinetsand, most importantly to volun-teers, a commercial dishwasher.

“That will be very welcome,”Briehl added.

The dining area itself resem-bles a small café or restaurant.And there’s a good reason for

that. A woman who used to runa local restaurant, Mason said,donated tables and chairs.

Briehl and others said any left-overs usually are handed out tovisitors to take with them. Onthis particular night, there isnothing left to hand out.Kurpgeweit said after the meal isover, the volunteers will spendabout a half-hour cleaning up.Briehl said she is never hurtingfor help, that volunteers easilycan see how much aid they areproviding.

“It provides immediate results:hungry, full,” she said.

With cloud cover not only beingcommon, but seemingly the normaround Puget Sound, many localsmay not be overly worried aboutexposure to the sun and the pos-sibility of skin cancer such expo-sure can cause.

That might be a big mistake ac-cording to area doctors and thenational Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention.

According to the CDC, the rateof new melanoma diagnoses inthe state are 35 percent higherthan the national average from2001-2005. Melanoma is the mostdangerous type of skin cancer.

The occurrences of melanomain the state was the fifth highestin the country. An estimated1,900 state residents were diag-nosed with melanoma in 2008.The two most common forms ofskin cancer — basal cell andsquamous cell carcinomas — arehighly curable, according toRoger Muller, senior medical di-rector for United Healthcare ofWashington.

Melanomas are not. Approxi-mately 175 people in Washingtondie of melanoma each year, accord-ing to the CDC. That’s the 16thhighest melanoma death rate na-tionally and 7.4 percent higher thanthe national average. In a seeminglyodd statistic given our local climate,Washington’s Island County isamong the top 10 counties in thecountry for new melanoma casesstriking the area at the dangerousclip of 130 percent above the na-tional average.

“At first blush, I can see howthe numbers could be surprisinggiven that much of the year hereis cloudy,” said Arlo Miller, a der-matologist with Virginia MasonIssaquah. “However, digging intomelanoma risk factors … it actu-ally makes a lot of sense.”

Like other states with highmelanoma rates, Miller saidWashington has a dense popula-tion of persons of white, Euro-pean descent. Melanoma strikeshardest at those with certain bio-logical traits: red or blonde hair,light-colored eyes, a tendency tofreckle or a susceptibility to burn-ing. All of those risk factors arerepresented in a typical Cau-casian population.

“Essentially, the state has anat-risk population,” Miller said.

Further, dangerous sun expo-sures come in two varieties, headded. One is chronic, say thatexperienced by a cattle rancher.The second is intense, sudden ex-posure, say what you might get

on a vacation to the Bahamas. Oron a sudden, sunny day in thePuget Sound area. Intense, sud-den exposure can cause dramaticincreases in the rate of dangerousmelanomas.

“Around here,” Miller said,“sun exposure comes in fits andspurts during a few amazinglybright and sunny summermonths, so things will be skewedtowards melanoma.”

Miller added that the main culpritfor skin cancer isn’t direct sunlight,but ultraviolet light. And cloud coveris a poor ultraviolet filter, he said,meaning residents can get lulled

THINKSTOCK

Living in one of the highest zones in the United States for rates of skincancer, residents should keep an eye out for the development of asymmetri-cal moles.

State is prime turf for skin cancerSummer means sunshine, heat

and — in a not-so-appealing cate-gory — summer pests in the formof biting and stinging bugs.

Experts at the state Departmentof Health said learning how bugsbehave is a key step to avoidingbites and stings.

Watch out for deer flies andhorse flies, because both speciescan deliver painful, itchy bites —and transmit tularemia, a bacter-ial disease. Both species tend to beactive during the day and cancommonly be found near ponds,streams and marshes. In order toavoid nasty bites, cover exposedskin and use repellent.

Bees seeking nectar or pollenaway from a hive or a nest rarelysting, except if stepped on or de-liberatively provoked. However,honeybees and bumblebees stingto protect a hive or nest.

In the event of a bee sting, re-move the stinger by scraping theback of a straight-edged object,such as a credit card, across thestinger, but do not use tweezers toremove the embedded stinger. Us-ing tweezers can squeeze thevenom sack and release more.

If you receive a bee sting or abug bite, remove nearby rings andother constricting items, becausethe surrounding areas couldswell.

Unlike honeybees and bumble-bees, wasps and yellow jacketscan be easily provoked. In order tokeep stinging insects away, do notleave litter or food out. Otherwise,the scraps could attract hornets,yellow jackets or wasps. Call aprofessional to deal with nests ofstinging insects.

Though most stings from waspsand yellow jackets result in onlymild discomfort, some can causesevere allergic reactions and re-quire medical care.

People allergic to bee and wasp

stings should carry identificationdetailing the allergy and anymedication they take. Severe re-actions can impact the entirebody, and can occur quickly, oftenin a matter of moments. Un-treated reactions can even be fa-tal.

Bystanders should call 911 ifsomeone stung by a bee or waspsuffers chest pain, experiencesface or mouth swelling, has trou-ble breathing or swallowing, orgoes into shock.

Summer in the Evergreen Statealso means ticks.

Washington is home to hard andsoft ticks. Humans encounter hardticks most often during hikes ontrails. The insects attach to thehost’s body for two to six days andextract blood. Though the risk islow, hard ticks can transmit Lymedisease, Rocky Mountain spottedfever and tularemia, and causetick paralysis.

People tend to encounter softticks in mountainous areas. Thespecies feeds only at night and,like the hard variety, can transmitdiseases.

The soft iteration can transmitrelapsing fever, the most preva-lent tickborne disease in Wash-ington. If people experiencefevers with chills, aches or sweatswithin a few weeks after a stay at

a mountain cabin or in thewoods, see a health care providerand tell him or her you may havebeen exposed to a relapsing fevertick.

Dogs tend to be top tick targets,so pet owners should check dogsfor ticks frequently.

Mosquitoes can transmit WestNile virus. Stagnant water inditches, gutters and plant contain-ers is excellent mosquito habitat,so take steps to prevent standingwater from collecting. Install in-sect screens on doors and win-dows to keep mosquitoes at bay.

Steer clear of bites and stings byusing insect repellents and follow-ing the directions on the label.Cover up in long pants, longsleeves and socks when venturingout. Stay inside at dawn and dusk,when mosquitoes become most ac-tive.

WHAT’S EATING YOU?Summertime means humans

and biting and stinging insectscome into close — and uncomfort-able — contact. Learn about dis-eases transmitted by creepycrawlers and steps to protect your-self from the state Department ofHealth’s guide to zoonotic dis-eases — diseases capable ofbeing transmitted from animals orinsects to humans — atwww.doh.wa.gov/ehp/ts/zoo.htm.

Mosquitoes mean West Nilevirus, another summertime con-cern. In order to track West Nilevirus, Public Health – Seattle &King County is asking residents toreport dead birds by phone at206-205-4394 or online atwww.skcconnect.com.

Stay safe from biting, stingingcreepy crawlers all summer long

ing sun exposure. With cloud covercomes lower temperatures, Milleradded, and most people wear heav-ier clothing and end up protectingtheir arms and legs from exposure.

“However, their face is still ex-posed,” he said. “So while it seemsnutty, this is why I encourage peo-ple to find a way to incorporate afacial sunscreen into their daily reg-imen.”

Miller also dismisses what hecalled a widespread Northwesterntheory that says all the cloud coverimpedes the creation of vitamin Dthat occurs when skin is exposedto natural sunlight. Some peopleend up believing there are medicalbenefits to tanning.

“You can get enough sun inSeattle to cause skin cancer, butnot enough to boost your VitaminD levels,” Miller said.

Not incidentally, tanning beds arenot at all a safe alternative to tan-ning outside. Tanning beds are actu-ally likely to be worse on your skinthan natural sunlight since the bedsare designed to deliver high doses ofradiation in a short amount of time.

The World Health Organizationplaces use of tanning beds into theirhighest category of cancer causingbehaviors since, according to Miller,the beds clearly are linked to skincancer. Miller even compares tan-ning beds to cigarettes.

The CDC offers numerous stepspeople can take to protect them-selves from the sun. Some are com-mon sense, such as the use of sun-screen. They also recommendavoiding tanning beds. Finally, theCDC says stay in the shade andwear long pants and long sleeves.Miller admits the latter might seemlike overkill.

At the same time, he said he’snever met a farmer who wore shortpants and most of the older genera-tion wears long sleeves and a hat.

“They had this figured out,”Miller said. “If you spend a largeamount of time in the sun as agardener, a biker or work outside,the same habit of covering upwould make sense.”

Miller also talked about the socialpressure to tan, especially amongyounger people. But he argued sunexposure causes skin to age.

“If it weren’t for sun exposure,our skin would be as soft andblemish free as a newborn’s,”Miller said. “Intentional tanning islike pressing eight times fast-for-ward on the aging clock.”

Even after his hip flexor startedbothering him one-third into theCougar Mountain Trail Run Se-ries’ 13-mile race Aug. 13, UliSteidl was able to pull away fromhis competition for the win.

The Seattle University assistanttrack and cross country coachsaid his familiarity with the trailson Cougar Mountain helped himmaintain a steady pace through-out the run. His final time was1:38.27 for the event.

“I was by myself for most of therace,” he said. “I pulled away inthe first mile … but I was alwaysexpecting someone to come frombehind to catch up with me.”

Steidl lives in Seattle with hiswife, Trisha Steidl, who also par-ticipated in the race.

Marlene Farrell, competing inthe event for the first time, tooktop honors in the women’s cate-gory with a final time of 1:54.21.

Although the Leavenworth resi-dent said she hasn’t been doingmuch competitive running thisseason, she was pleased with theoutcome of the race.

“I do a lot of road running, but Ifind trail running … is nice be-cause I don’t have to think aboutthe miles,” she said. “I can justget out and enjoy the scenery, andI really enjoy uphills and down-hills.”

Steidl and Farrell agreed thatwhile the competition during therace is fierce at times, the level ofcamaraderie with the participantsin the run series is also apparent.

FISH JOURNAL�Salmon is king nowin Lake Sammamish

Hey, it istime to takeadvantage ofthe overabun-dance of kingor chinooksalmon thatare headingfor IssaquahCreek and tothe IssaquahSalmon Hatchery.

The state declared open seasonfor them in Lake Sammamish be-ginning Aug. 16. By then, thehatchery was expected to have allit needed for egg harvest and tohave left the rest for us.

This year’s regulations state youmay keep up to four salmon, ofwhich only two may be kingsalmon, the ones with the black lips.

Also this year, you must have aWashington State Discover Pass inorder to use Lake SammamishPark and its boat launch. The passmay either be purchased on adaily basis for $10, or for $30 foran annual pass. Fishing within100 yards of the mouth of Is-saquah Creek is prohibited.

The fishery for kings has been re-warding in recent years, for manyhave been caught. However, thepeak spawning period is generallyover when the season opens andyou will mostly catch matured anddark salmon. Every so often, youget a late arrival with silver sidesthat’s suitable for the table. Formost, the thrill of catching a heavy-duty salmon in a suburban lakemakes the outing quite worthwhile.

Because the feeding portion ofthese salmon’s lives is over, you ei-ther have to appeal to their in-stinct to bite what once was food,or trade on their aggressive na-ture. The former is touted by thosewho use bare, red, size 4/0 hooks

Because of that achieve-ment, Powers was invited to par-ticipate in the U.S. Lacrosse’s All-American Showcase in LakeBuena Vista Florida at the ESPNWide World of Sports Complex.

Of 96 high school participants,Powers was the only one selectedfrom Washington state.

“It’s a huge complex,” Powerssaid. “They had roughly 10 fieldsto be used for soccer, football andlacrosse.”

The three-day event took placeJuly 20-22. Four teams played.The team with the best recordmade it to the final match, whichwas televised on ESPNU.

“It’s a great honor. He’s the thirdplayer in Issaquah lacrosse historyto participate in this event,” saidBrandon Fortier, head coach of theIssaquah lacrosse program.

Unfortunately, Powers’ teamdidn’t win any of its four games.In the final game, Powers’ teamwas up 11-10, but in the last twominutes the opposing team scoredtwo goals.

“It was upsetting. We didn’t wina game at all, but at the same timewe were there to showcase our in-dividual talent, which I thought Idid well,” Powers said.

During the event, Powers andhis mother got the opportunity tostay at Disney’s Coronado SpringsResort courtesy of Champion ath-letic apparel.

“I met a lot of cool guys,” Pow-ers said. “It was cool seeing howeven though people were from dif-ferent areas we’re still all thesame.”

In June, Powers was selected to

participate in the West CoastAdrenaline All-American game. Tobe selected, individuals must havealready participated in the WestCoast Stars league. Players thatstand out are selected for the All-American team.

Local triathletes and others fromaround the Puget Sound will soon be atit again. The 18th annual Beaver LakeTriathlon will return Saturday, Aug. 20.

The race, which will begin, transitionand end at Beaver Lake Park, will in-clude a quarter-mile swim, a 13.8-milebike and a 4.3-mile run.

The swim portion of the race will bein Beaver Lake. The bike route will takecompetitors northeast over Duthie HillRoad, which offers views of the CascadeMountain Range, Mount Si and the Sno-qualmie Valley. Bikers will then headeast on Redmond-Fall City Road andback up the plateau along a 2-mile hill.The run will take participants throughhills that circle Beaver Lake and finallyto the finish line.

Longtime triathlon participant CollinClark lives on Beaver Lake and has par-ticipated in the race nearly every yearsince he and his family moved to the

area in 2005.Clark said he competes primarily for

fun, but the race also helps keep him inshape and gives him a sense of accom-plishment. His favorite part of thetriathlon is the sense of community hegets, he said.

“It’s really fun to run a race that goesthe course of the neighborhood,” hesaid.

Because he lives on Beaver Lake,when Clark competes in the triathlon,he gets to see his family cheer him on

multiple times during the course of therace.

Clark said he is more comfortablewith the swimming and running portionof the race, so his favorite moment ofthe course is during the cycling portion,when his bike crests the final stair-stepof the grueling hill. He said that know-ing the worst is over and it’s almost lit-erally downhill from that point is a bigrelief.

“It’s a good feeling,” he said. “I know Ican finish the run after that.”

He said he sees himself continuing toparticipate in the triathlon.

“I hope to compete in it every year go-ing forward,” he said. “I can imaginedoing it well into my 50s, as long as therace goes on.”

Race Director Sharon Freechtle saidthe triathlon is a fun event for people ofall levels of experience.

“It’s a really good atmosphere,” she said.

SCOREBOARD�

“It was just one game,” Powerssaid. “My team won and I had thegame-winning assist.”

Remembering a teammateThe event was dedicated to Is-

saquah’s Tyler Lucas. Lucaspassed away Feb. 1 due to in-juries he sustained in a car acci-dent on Interstate 405 in Belle-vue. Had that not happened, Lu-cas would have participated inthe event. In honor of Lucas, TL17 appeared on the sleeve of eachplayer’s All-American t-shirt.During halftime, a ceremony washeld to honor Lucas’ memory andhis family was presented with thejersey he would have worn hadhe played.

“It was cool of them to honorhim,” Fortier said. “I coached himfor three years. It was a strugglefor the team to lose a brother.”

At that game, Powers becamethe first recipient of the Tyler Lu-cas scholarship.

“His parents will come downever year to personally present thescholarship,” Powers said.

Earlier this year, Powers wasawarded U.S. Lacrosse player ofthe week. He earned the awardbecause in one week he played intwo games and scored a total ofnine goals.

From hockey to lacrosseOriginally, Powers was a hockey

player. When his teammates weregoing out for the lacrosse team,

Powers decided to give it a try. Ini-tially, he was a defender but even-tually he found his niche as a mid-fielder. In the position, Powerscould play both offensively and de-fensively.

“I’d rather be a part of the gamethe whole time,” he said. “Defensestands around when the attackmen are on the offensive.”

Powers said his favorite partabout lacrosse is that there issomething always going on andthat at any moment somethingcould happen.

According to Powers, no matterhow good of an athlete you are, alacrosse player is nothing withoutgood stick skills. For those juststarting out with lacrosse, Powerssuggests that they always have astick in hand.

“Try to play catch as much aspossible,” he said.

In the future, Powers plans toplay with Team Sweden at theEuro Games in Amsterdam. In thefall, he will attend Dominican Uni-versity in San Rafael, Calif.

“I picked them because theyhave a good program and I likedthe size of the school,” Powerssaid. “I met the coach when I vis-ited and really liked him. He wasreally down to earth and very seri-ous about growing the Dominicanlacrosse program.”

Fortier said he looks forward tofollowing Powers’ career.

“He definitely has the tenacityand stick skills,” Fortier said. “Ifhe attacks it further and embracesthe lifestyle he’ll do great.”

that, to my take, imitate ocean krillupon which they fattened up be-fore entering fresh water.

The hooks are accompanied bya couple of red beads on theleader and trolled slowly behind abright green dodger that wagsthem back and forth to induce thebite. A colorful, and perhapsmeaningful, comment on thissetup was made stating that this“flosses them” when the kings in-vestigate the dodger flashes.

Evoking an aggressive strikefalls to the provocation of lures,such as kwikfish or flatfish, alongwith a piece of herring, smelt oreven sardine on the hook. Again, aflasher is a good way to get atten-tion to the lure. The aggressionappears to come from thesalmon’s instinct to fight off rivals,

protect spawning territory or justdo in a predator fish.

For both types of lures, savvy lo-cal fishers use commercial scentattractants. There are some krillscents that work well here, espe-cially on bare hooks.

Slow to medium trolling speed isstandard but finding the produc-tive depth at which to fish is para-mount to success. A fish findercan help, but varying the depthuntil you get a strike is the tried-and-true way to plumb the lake.

The best fishing is early in themorning, when the fish school up atshallower depths. So start out at 50feet of depth and vary down to 80feet until you connect. Of course,you can call out to a successful boatand ask how deep they were fish-ing. Then, you have a 50-50 chanceof getting the truth. For salmonfishing, them ain’t bad odds.

The separate proposals to addequipment to cell towers inIssaquah and May Valley cleareda regulatory hurdle in earlyAugust. So, too, did a proposal toconstruct a cell tower in KlahaniePark near Challenger ElementarySchool.

AT&T applied to the King CountyDepartment of Development andEnvironmental Services to addthree antennae, six remote radioheads and a surge protector to thecabinet on the Issaquah and MayValley towers.

Crews intend to add equipmenton the existing towers near theIssaquah Sportsmen’s Club,

23600 S.E. Evans St., and 18011S.E. Renton-Issaquah Road, lessthan a half-mile southwest of theintersection of the street andSoutheast May Valley Road.

The county permitting agency ishandling the application for theIssaquah Sportsmen’s Club sitebecause the shooting range is acounty island surrounded byIssaquah and is near IssaquahHigh School.

The telecommunications com-pany also intends to build theKlahanie Park tower. Plans call forcedar fences of up to 6 feet tall toring the base.

County planners determined

the projects do not require envi-ronmental impact statements — athorough review to assess how aproject could impact the sur-rounding environment.

The decision, or determinationof nonsignificance in planningparlance, is not the last step in theprocess. The county must stillissue building permits for theprojects.

Residents opposed to any ofthe cell tower projects cannotappeal to the Department ofDevelopment and EnvironmentalServices, but instead must directappeals to King County SuperiorCourt.

State licensing fees to riseamid state budget shortfall

Starting Sept. 1, anglers andhunters must pay more for statefishing and hunting licenses.

The cost of annual resident

freshwater fishing permits, forexample, is due to rise from $24to $27.50. For permits to huntdeer, elk, bears and cougars inthe Evergreen State, the costbumps from $79.20 to $93.50.The state Department of Fish andWildlife offers a complete list ofthe updated fees atwww.wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/license_fees.html.

The hike is the first generalrecreational license fee increasein more than a decade. Not all li-cense fees increase under theplan, and some decline, includinglicenses for youths, seniors anddisabled people.

Revenues from the license feeincrease replace a temporary 10percent license sale surcharge.

State lawmakers approved theincreased fees to meet risingcosts and to close a budget short-fall in revenue used to managehunting, fishing, and fish andwildlife populations.

The fees should generate about$8 million per year for activitiesrelated to hunting and recre-ational fishing. Fee revenue isused to manage fisheries andhunting seasons, produce troutand steelhead for recreationalfisheries, enforce regulations,monitor fish and game popula-tions, and help maintain wildlifelands.

Restaurant reviews are a regular fea-ture of The Issaquah Press. Reviewersvisit restaurants unannounced and payin full for their meals.


Gilman Village slips in and out of stylein much the same manner as fashion.

Just as leggings and off-the-shouldertops re-emerged from some Reagan-erastyle sepulcher in recent seasons, a simi-lar cycle is redirecting attention toGilman Village. The landmark shoppingcenter is in — and in the midst of a ren-aissance, as a Thursday farmers marketand upstart businesses prompt neophytesto discover a classic Issaquah locale.

The credit for the latest revival is due,in part at least, to The Flat Iron Grill, adestination restaurant and a solid reasonto explore beyond the periphery atGilman Village.

The restaurant opened in the formerIris Grill space 18 months ago and, soonafter, started to generate complimentarychatter among the local fooderati.

The acclaim is deserved.The Flat Iron Grill is upscale enough to

qualify as a special-occasion restaurant —ambitious but not pretentious — and a so-phisticated addition to a restaurant scenesaturated in too many fast-casual coun-ters and underperforming sports bars.

The attention lavished on edible detailsand fresh ingredients is laudable. Pro-duce comes from Hand-Farmed Organics,a community-supported farm in Fall City.

Plates land at the table done up for mag-azine-quality presentation, as if a foodstylist touched up each meal en routefrom the kitchen.

The menu includes international ac-cents, especially as Chef Cody Reavespoints a compass in the direction ofSouth America.

No A.1. bottles dot the tables at TheFlat Iron Grill. Instead, chimichurri — apotent sauce created in Argentina andexported elsewhere — is the chosencondiment for steaks.

Quinoa, a so-called superfood olderthan the Incas, anchors a salad layeringthe seeds and other muscular ingredients— arugula, feta and poblano — beneath adash of currants and sprightly vinaigrette.

The lunch menu emphasizes saladsand sandwiches — convenient and ur-bane fare for a professional crowd.

The signature steak is presented atop asalad or inside a soft roll from MacrinaBakery come lunchtime.

The salad stacks Bibb lettuce, candiedpecans and blue cheese from the re-spected Point Reyes Farmstead CheeseCo. in the Golden State. Meanwhile, araspberry-peppercorn vinaigrette cutsthrough the rich unctuousness of themeat and cheese.

Inside the sandwich, the meat, arugulaand tomatoes meld beneath rosemarymayonnaise. Pair the sandwich andmixed greens on the side for a taste ofboth menu standouts.

The fried sage and roasted garlic min-gling alongside the french fries offer apleasant, aromatic assist to the potatoes,

although the fries could benefit from acrispier exterior.

Lunchtime also incorporates a PacificNorthwest interpretation of a classic Cubansandwich, Cuba by way of the ColumbiaRiver. Inside the pressed Macrina Bakeryroll, a stratum of bacon from Wisconsinsmokehouse Nueske’s, roasted pork, Swisscheese and housemade pickles fuse.

The challah roll from the Seattle bak-ery is superb, but perhaps not the mostideal foundation for most of the sand-wiches on the compact lunch menu.

The toothsome portabella sandwich —on brioche — adds arugula, goat cheese,grilled onions and quince-jalapeno jam toimpart oomph on the mild mushroom.

In a classic chicken salad sandwich,currants and walnuts perform supportingroles, although a little less mayonnaise isnecessary to enable the other ingredientsto pop.

The happy hour menu occupies a dif-ferent league than the Sysco chicken fin-gers and french fries on too many beer-battered bar menus to count. Cheesesfrom Mt. Townsend Creamery in Jeffer-son County, a grilled watermelon saladand a lamb empanada stand out.

Steak, as the name on the sign implies,is the star at dinner. Reaves also utilizesthe grill to enliven chicken and fish, too.

The Flat Iron Grill earns plaudits forserving beef raised sans antibiotics andhormones. The comprehensive wine listassembled features numerous Northwestvintages alongside bottles from Californiaand other grape-growing regions aroundthe globe.

The bar offers a “whiskey library” tocomplement the wine list. Jack Daniels,Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker cavortalongside less familiar — and more tan-talizing — labels.

The handsome space attracts abustling crowd from lunchtime until latenight. Inside, patrons sip and snack amidflickering votive candles, metal-toppedtables and mustard-hued draperies. In alighthearted nod to the name, a display ofantique irons is arranged in the entry-way.

From the aesthetic to the menu, TheFlat Iron Grill is designed to endure — aclassic sure to remain in fashion for theforeseeable future.

Singers invited toaudition for chorus

ESPN’s live coverage of the 2011 WorldSeries of Poker main event has the sideeffect of getting people’s blood pumpingto join in on the action.

Whether you’re in search of somepoker action outside the home game orsomewhere closer than a card room orcasino, then look no further than Is-saquah’s Lake Sammamish Elks LodgeNo. 1843.

The 2011 fall Texas Hold ’Em PokerLeague starts Aug. 27 and organizers arelooking for more players to fill out theroster.

The league, now in its sixth year, hasattracted players of varying skill levels.Sharyn Solum, 65, recently retired, waslooking for a hobby to fill her free timewhen a former city co-worker and Elksmember introduced her to the action.

“Tina Eggers brought me in to try itout,” Solum said regarding Issaquah’scity clerk. “I’d been playing for a coupleof years but learned a lot more from themore experienced players.”

The league follows the same format asany other tournament, with only a fewdifferences. Played each month the firstand third Saturday (the league kicks off

early Aug. 27 because of the holidayweekend Sept. 3), players buy in for $35and may re-buy as many times as theywant when they go broke for the firstthree rounds of action.

The top four or five places will be paideach time, depending upon the numberof entries and re-buys, with 15 percentset aside for the final championship poolat the end of the season.

The element that makes this a league,rather than a one-off — or sit-and-go —tournament is that players earn pointsthe more they show each week and thebetter they place. A win any given weekautomatically qualifies a player for thechampionship tournament Dec. 17. Oth-

erwise, the top 18 players in pointsearned will fill out the final two tables.

It’s these regular get-togethers thatkept Todd Blair, once introduced to theaction, coming back for more.

“I’ve had a lot of fun. There’s a lot of ca-maraderie, and it has that feel of smalltown Americana,” said Blair, himself origi-nally from a small ranch in South Dakota.“It’s laid back and there’s good food.”

Speaking of which, in addition to cashprizes, there’s also the meat. FisherMeats donates a pound of slab bacon asthe “first out” prize given to the playerwho busts out broke from the tourna-ment first. Also, a 10-pound, hickorysmoked Kirkland Signature ham, alsoknown as the “bubble ham,” is given tothe player who just misses out on a cashprize. So odds are better than most tour-naments you’ll leave with some sort of

prize.As if that wasn’t enough incentive to

participate, there’s also the charity tie-in. Each week, donations are solicitedfor Issaquah’s Compassion House, tran-sition housing for needy families downon their luck. The Elks’ poker league av-erages $3,000 in donations per seasonwith a standing challenge to top the pre-vious total.

But as you play poker, don’t be sur-prised if you start sticking around forother Elks functions and eventually be-come a member yourself. Both Blair andSolum became members not long afterjoining the poker action.

“I just liked what the Elks does forcommunity service,” Solum said. “Theyhelp seniors and others, and give mem-bers plenty of opportunity to help out inmany projects,” she said.
