Sammamish council approves tenfold increase to ARCH fundingBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Sammamish City Council unani-mously approved a $90,000 line item, which would increase the city’s funding to A Regional Coalition for Housing tenfold, during a mid-biennium budget update at its Tuesday regular meeting.
The coalition, commonly referred to as ARCH, is a partnership of Eastside cities mostly in King County with the goal of preserving and increasing the supply of homes for low- and moderate-income households. The city of Sammamish has been a partner for about 15 years.
“Affordable housing is a regional issue,”
City Manager Ben Yazici said at the Nov. 10 City Council meeting. “The reality, how-ever, is home prices in Sammamish have been raising at a much higher rate than perhaps some of our peer cities.”
The city had earmarked $10,000 for the ARCH contribution in 2016, but city staff suggested increasing that to $100,000.
“We can’t buy potentially one-fifth of one unit with a $100,000 contribution,” Yazici continued. “But as we contribute to this pool we will get our share by supporting those projects in the immediate vicinity of the city and those we would benefit from.”
On average, the city donates $61,170

Man robs Olde Town Bank of AmericaBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
An unknown man robbed the Bank of America in Issaquah’s Olde Town neighborhood Tuesday.
The man, described to police as a white male with a thin build and a height between 5-feet 10-inches and
6-feet, entered the bank around 5:40 p.m. and de-manded money from a teller. A photo taken from security footage shows the man concealed his
appearance with a hooded North Face jacket, sunglasses and blue latex gloves.
Police seek information to identify the suspect and discouraged the public from contacting him.

E. coli outbreak expandsBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
What started as a four-state E. coli outbreak linked to Costco’s chicken salad has expanded to seven states. Nine-teen people have fallen ill and the farm identified as the source of the outbreak has recalled 150,000 celery products.
No deaths have been reported; five have been hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Only one Washington state resident has fallen ill, accord-ing to a Nov. 23 Washington State Department of Health release. This person, a King County resident, has not been hospitalized.
In late October, public health officials urged people who recently bought Costco’s “chicken salad made with rotis-serie chicken” to toss it out.
During preliminary testing of the Costco product, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Ser-vices, also investigating the outbreak, discovered a link to a celery blend the California-based company Taylor Farms Pacific, Inc. produces.
Following the tests, Taylor Farms Pacific also voluntarily recalled more than 150,000 products that use the celery blend from stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, Sam’s Club and Walmart, according to Montana health officials.
To view the entire list of items recalled, visit www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm474601.htm.
The Washington resident who fell ill had bought the product — item number 337719 — from a Shoreline Cost-co, according to Public Health — Seattle & King County.
The outbreak is now linked to six cases in Montana, five in Utah, four in Colorado, one in California, one in Missouri and one in Virginia. However, the celery product within the salad is also being recalled from several other states.
People who have eaten this product and are infected with E. coli generally get sick within two to eight days afterward.
Symptoms for those infected with the strain O157:H7 in-clude bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and vomiting.
Those who experience these symptoms should seek medical care immediately.
All state departments of health are investigating the outbreak along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Monitoring devices installed outside the site of the Northwest Talus Drive landslide were showing no new perceptible movement as of Monday, indicating the residential construction zone may soon become stable again.
Spokespeople said the city still needs to collect more data to en-sure earth movement has stopped completely. But the news signaled a slowdown to the hectic public infor-mation campaign that began shortly after the Nov. 13 landslide.
Shortly after the slide, city staff established regular contact with the Talus Homeowners Association, and posted news about work and moni-toring of the site online. Following criticisms from Talus residents that not enough was being done to inform
the neighborhood, staff established a dedicated Web page and committed to daily email updates, even when no new information was available.
With the earth movement ap-parently ceased, the city stopped daily updates until new information becomes available.
On Nov. 13, construction work at a residential site at the corner of Northwest Talus Drive and Shangri-La Way was halted after earth on the hillside began slowly moving, with enough force to buckle the road. Crews installed an emergency retain-ing wall and covered as much ground as possible with plastic sheeting to stop water absorption that could con-tribute to the slide.
Crews also installed monitoring devices to study the geometry of the slide and drilled dewatering wells to slow movement, geotechnical
engineer Martin Page said at a Nov. 24 community briefing.
Public Works Operations success-fully rerouted water lines to the north of the landslide site Nov. 25. The site of the movement is close to water mains and lines which staff feared could break if movement returned, Emer-gency Management Director Bret Heath said at the community briefing.
“We have installed a combination of underground and overland 8-inch high-density polyethylene pipe” sup-plying the neighborhoods north of the site, Heath said. He called the action a “temporary-permanent” measure as the landslide site continued to be monitored. Heath noted the reservoir west of the slide site was safely outside of the site, on its upper side.
There has been growing recognition of the challeng-es of Alzheimer’s disease, but the funding to find a cure lags dramatically behind what’s necessary. Although my personal introduction to the disease occurred many years ago following my late grandmother’s diagnosis, its impact on her life, my life and the lives of her loved ones continues to shape and strengthen my commitment to this important cause.
In 2010, Congress unani-mously passed legislation that set a goal of finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s by 2025. But National Institutes of Health research on dementia has not increased to the $2 billion a year level that scientists say is needed.
In fact, for every $100 spent on Alzheimer’s research, Medicare and Medicaid programs spend $26,000 to care for people with the disease. Currently there are 107,000 Washingtonians living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that number will grow to 140,000 by 2025. We must invest more to find a treat-ment and a cure now.
The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill giv-
ing $350 million more to the NIH for Alzheimer’s research, while the House Committee has voted $300 million. If even the lower figure is signed into law, that would be a 50 percent increase in research fund-ing for this disease. The new budget law just eased strict budget caps, allowing addi-tional priority spending this coming year.
I urge Rep. Dave Reichert and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to vote for this vital Alzheimer’s research boost and push to make sure it is in the final appropriations bill enacted into law.

Yellow lights confusing
Those flashing yellow lights are dangerous. In most other states it’s just blank. They have a red arrow if you can’t turn. No light means you may turn, yielding to traffic of course, if it’s safe.
But here the yellow lights can turn on while the straight light is red. That can be really confusing. Almost everyone in my family has turned left on a yellow not realizing that the oncoming traffic was about to get a green light. Another

How to avoid phone scams
The recent warning about phone scams for donations to the State Patrol (and other organizations) prompts me to respond with the simple solution our family has. We make no commit-ments for donations over the phone unless we initiate the call. This applies both to organizations we support and those we don’t.
When someone calls to solicit, you are never sure it is for real or a scam. Rejecting all such calls eliminates the need to try to verify the validity of the caller. This is an absolute policy in our house.

included an article about Sound Transit’s second of four weekend partial closures of the I-90 bridge to implement changes required for add-ing fourth lanes to the bridge outer roadways. They currently don’t intend to finish the modifications and allow commuters to use the added lanes until 2017.
Sound Transit should be required to expedite modifying the outer roadway and substantiate the 2008 DEIS claim: “Travel times across I-90 for vehicles and trucks would also improve or remain similar with East Link” by tem-porarily closing the center roadway.
Their current plan to delay the lanes until it’s too late to prevent center roadway closure poses an unaccept-able risk for commuters.

Climate Change: Short answers to big questions
The climate talks in Paris deserve the attention of every person on earth. Here are some questions for which the participants will seek answers. What does heating up 1.7 degrees mean? It’s the same as exploding 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs on Earth daily. If that continues another 30 years, it will be the end for several bil-lion earthlings.
How much trouble are we in? For future generations, big time. There will
be waves of refugees, and the seas will flood all world coastal cities. Yes, mass extinction – the sixth in human histo-ry. What can we do? Fly less, drive less and waste less. Check your insulation, install a smart thermostat, switch to efficient light bulbs, use public transit, waste less food and eat less meat.
Why do people question climate change? Ideology. The measures to stop it fail the test of free market principles. That position is supported by fossil fuel interests that fund the undermining of science. Any reason for hope? If you share this with 50 friends, maybe. What’s missing are the voices of ordinary citizens. Politicians think only of the next election. They don’t tackle the tough stuff until the public demands it.

The Issaquah Cannabis Company has been cited by the state Liquor and Can-nabis Board after a compliance check saw an underage investigative aide successfully make it onto the sales floor and purchase product, after the doorman reportedly misjudged the aide’s age.
The incident — which saw Issaquah Cannabis Company fined a total of $3,500 — was the first and only violatory compli-ance visit for Issaquah’s sole recreational marijuana store. The business has since instituted a more rigorous age-screening policy, manager Cliff Gehrett told an enforcement officer.
On Nov. 19, the Reporter received a call from an anonymous tipster who claimed Issaquah Cannabis Company had sold to a minor the month prior. The person de-clined to identify herself outside of a claim she was a consultant for recreational mari-juana businesses who frequents the Liquor and Cannabis Board’s public records.
A public records request with the Li-quor and Cannabis Board confirmed that, on Oct. 18, liquor enforcement officer Joseph Bussman had cited the business during routine alcohol and cannabis compliance checks using an underage
volunteer.Bussman had sent the 20-year-old aide
to the store to see if he would be stopped at the ID checkpoint outside its sales floor. A short time later, the aide returned with a half-gram of wax concentrate.
According to the aide’s report, the door-man had checked his identification — a vertically printed driver’s license standard in Washington state for persons under 21 — but allowed him to enter the sales floor. Once inside, the aide was assisted by a cashier who did not perform a secondary ID check.
The aide’s and Bussman’s reports also noted that the doorman had asked the aide if he would turn 21 in 2016, to which the aide replied “no.” However, there may be some confusion on the reporting of this point as records show the aide will turn 21 in February 2016 and compliance protocol calls for investigative aides to use their true ID and age.
Bussman confronted the doorman about letting a minor onto the premises and asked the birth year of a 21-year-old. The doorman said he thought the birth year for a 21-year-old was 1995.
The cashier was “visibly upset and frustrated,” according to Bussman’s report, about the sale and the failure of the door-man to screen a minor.
The store was fined $1,000 for allow-ing a minor on the premises and given the choice of a 10-day suspension or a $2,500 fine for sale to a minor. License holder Reach Island LLC paid both fines in November.
On a follow-up call on Oct. 21, store manager Gehrett notified Bussman that he had fired the doorman and instituted a policy not to accept vertical IDs and to perform a secondary ID check at the point of sale. Additionally, the store had added signage listing acceptable forms of ID and reminding employees of the current birth year for 21-year-old customers.
Between Sept. 4, 2014 and Oct. 30, 2015, the Liquor and Cannabis Board conducted 215 sale compliance checks on marijuana retailers as part of approximate-ly 7,113 contacts — ranging from phone calls to in-person inspections and investi-gations — with all recreational marijuana businesses, according to enforcement records.
Liquor and Cannabis Board spokes-man Brian Smith reported the marijuana retail compliance rate for sales to minors — based on checks from enforcement officers and their underage investigative aides from January to September of 2015 — was 88 percent, compared against 91 percent for alcohol.

The Sammamish City Council unani-mously voted Tuesday to allow a longtime Sammamish couple to submit a shoreline variance application for their Beaver Lake property.
The council’s action is in line with the June settlement agreement the city reached with residents David and Megan Gee after the couple filed suit in December 2013 re-garding city staff ’s “incomplete, inadequate and perfunctory” response to a 2012 public records request, court documents say.
Per the settlement agreement, the city paid the Gees $90,000 as well as allow-ing the couple to submit the variance that would allow them to develop in the buffer around a wetland located in the middle of their property.
The variance remains contingent on the hearing examiner and the Washington State Department of Ecology review. If the plans are not approved, the case will go to trial.

Getting stuck in one of Issaquah’s trademark traffic jams may not be as un-pleasant as going to jail — but it sure can feel like it. And if you believe the board game recently put out for sale by the local chamber of commerce, there’s no differ-ence at all.
The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce revived Issaquah-opoly — a localized version of the classic board game Monopoly that the business net-working organization has not put out for several years — after staff discovered cop-ies of an old publication run of the game in storage. They decided to put the games out for sale at the Salmon Days festival in
October, where copies were snatched up quickly.
The item’s popularity prompted the chamber to publish a new run of copies of the game, Executive Director Kathy McCorry said.
In terms of rules and general play, Is-saquah-opoly follows its Hasbro progeni-tor exactly. But instead of playing with lap dogs and worn-out shoes, game pieces are items like salmon and hiking boots. And instead of Baltic Avenue and Boardwalk, players can buy up real estate from Grand Ridge Plaza and Recology Cleanscapes (the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter ap-pears in one of the four traditional train station spaces on the board).
“The game is highly customized to Issaquah, all the way down to the chance and community chest cards,” McCorry said. “For example, one of our chance cards is ‘Stuck on Front Street; Go back three spaces.’ It was fun for us to come up with these little details that would uniquely reflect our city.”
The game has been updated with new box art and higher production values from its older version, including custom art of salmon and a paraglider taking off from Tiger Mountain.
The new run was debuted at the Is-saquah Coffee Company for group play

Water, sewer district more prepared for disaster with new $3 million facilityBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Sammamish Plateau Water & Sewer District boasts a $3 million facility that dis-trict officials say will make work less labor intensive and more efficient — especially in a disaster.
“Our main job is to make water and sewage flow, even in emergencies,” district media spokesperson Janet Sailer said. “Our goal is to be invisible.”
The newly installed outdoor facility includes a landscape shop, a decanting fa-cility, two large fuel tanks and storage space for soils and iron pipes.
In a disaster, employees would have
enough fuel for roughly a week to supply company vehicles and the diesel-run gen-erators that pump sewage away from prop-erties, like those along Lake Sammamish.
Due to the need, the district might ask people to restrict their water and sewage usage to conserve fuel during a disaster.
“We could go through 2,000 gallons of diesel in a day in an emergency,” district project manager Jim Konigsfeld estimated.
Under normal use, the district aims to maintain several weeks worth of fuel in its 6,000-gallon tank for unleaded and 8,000-gallon tank for diesel gasoline.
Konigsfeld, who recalled a recent ice storm that ran dry Plateau gas stations, said this fueling station, in addition to storing all the necessary equipment in one place, will boost district response time.
“In an emergency, all we have to do is load it and go,” Konigsfeld said.

per year, which is less than other Eastside cities and “doesn’t match our leader-ship role in the world of affordable housing,” Deputy City Manager Lyman How-ard said Nov. 10. Since 2014, Howard has been the chair of the ARCH execu-tive board.
There are 15 cities that participate in ARCH.
Each city strives to contribute between a low and high annual goal. Sammamish’s annual goal is to give between $25,000-$196,000 to the ARCH trust fund.
In the last 15 years, Sammamish has given the least per year on average in comparison to surround-ing cities, according to Howard.
Issaquah, which gives the second most to Bel-levue out of that list, has contributed an average of $528,502 per year for the last 15 years, according to Howard.
These contributions include money directly given to ARCH, indirect monetary assistance like fee waivers and in-kind con-tributions such as donated land.
In 2009, the city of Sammamish cut its direct monetary funding to ARCH when the council decided to donate the “Lamb House” located off 228th Avenue Southeast near Southeast 20th Street, for a Habitat for Humanity project.
The land, valued at around $450,000, wasn’t officially donated until 2012 and later broke ground this year on July 15.
“Over time, the buying power of the ARCH trust fund has diminished,” Howard said.

Although the Gees filed the lawsuit nearly two years ago, Megan Gee said the development issue began in 2008 when the city told her and her husband they could not build on the small wetland.
“It was seven years
of heck,” Megan Gee told the Reporter in June. “It’s not over until they give us that shoreline variance.”
City spokesperson Tim Larson told the Reporter in June that the decision to settle was based on a “risk assessment;” that is, it would be more expen-sive to go to court.
The variance the Gees seek will not set prec-edent for other home-owners.

The district serves 64,000 people in Sammamish, Is-saquah and unincorporated King County, Sailer said.
Throughout the district’s service area, there are 21 lift stations, or pumps that push sewage along to a site based in Redmond but owned by King County for wastewater treatment and disposal, district operations
analyst TJ Hohn said. There are also 12 wells in the system.
The facility, approved as part of the district’s 2014 budget, is located at district headquarters off of 228th Avenue Southeast in Sam-mamish. Employees began using the area in October but it has yet to be fulling stocked.
funding paid for nearly 1,900 units at $12,172 per unit.
From 2003-2013, however, at almost twice the cost per unit, ARCH funded about 840 units less than it did in the previous decade.
“The demand has never been greater for help in these areas,” Councilmember Tom Odell said Nov. 10.
“We’re taking our money and bundling it and put-ting it in other areas where we do get more bang for
our buck out of it.”
Coun-cilmember Nancy Whitten was not so keen to make a “policy decision” during a budget update,
she suggested ARCH was trying to “shame” the city into an increase, which Howard denied.
“There’s no shame in this,” he said. “It’s basically just an ask, given the cost of housing in Sammamish and the lack of affordable housing in the region.”
It was within the city’s right to decline the in-crease.
“We’re a very blessed community, and some-times I think we lose sight of that,” Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance said Wednesday. “It’s a good thing if we can share some of those blessings with people who need it. … Sharing those blessings ultimately comes back to help us.”
“The demand has never been greater for help in these areas.”- Tom Odell

University of Georgia bound Lake Stevens Vikings quarterback Jacob Eason unleashed a pass toward the end-zone with a berth in the Class 4A state finals on the line in a battle against the Skyline Spartans.
Skyline, which was clinging to a 37-34 lead, forced Lake Stevens into a fourth down play at Skyline’s 32-yard line with just three-seconds left on the clock. Eason evaded Skyline’s front line before hoisting a pass toward down the right sideline as time expired. The pass was under thrown and Skyline defensive back Danny Sinatro leapt for the interception, pre-serving Skyline’s dramatic 37-34 win against Lake Stevens in the Class 4A semifinals on Nov. 28 at the Tacoma Dome.
“The adrenaline was pumping. I knew they were going deep and I knew they were going to the end zone because there was three-sec-onds left. I knew their quarterback could sling it. He is a hell of a player. I just went out there and made the play,” Sinatro said. “These mo-ments don’t come by often. It feels so surreal right now. I’m speechless.”
Skyline’s defense didn’t allow a point on Lake Stevens final three possessions of the fourth quarter. Skyline took the lead for good when quarterback Blake Gregory connected
with Bradley Kim on a 27-yard touchdown strike, giving the Spartans a 37-34 lead with 6:51 left in the fourth quarter. Gregory’s high velocity pass against the grain soared past a well-positioned Lake Stevens defensive back for the go-ahead score.
On the Vikings’ ensuing offensive possession, they faced a fourth down with 23 yards to go at their own 18-yard line with 4:19 left in regulation. Eason’s pass was nearly hauled in by Lake Stevens receiver Ian Schneider down the left sideline but fell incomplete, giving the ball back to Skyline. Skyline’s offense didn’t gain any yards on its next drive and Jack Crane missed a 35-yard field goal attempt. Lake Stevens regained possession of the ball at their own 20-yard line with 3:52 left in the game.
Eason completed three passes and was driving his team down the field until the
biggest miscue of the game. While running the ball, Eason fumbled and Skyline’s Alex Diegel recovered the fumble at Skyline’s 28-yard line with 1:52 remaining in regulation.
The game appeared to be Skyline’s but Lake Stevens forced Skyline to punt on
their ensuing offensive posses-sion which gave Lake Stevens one last chance with 38 seconds on the clock. Eason drove his team to the 32-yard line but was denied the comeback win on Sinatro’s interception on the final play of the game. Eason finished the game with 390 yards passing and two touchdowns.
Gregory had the best game of his high school career on the biggest stage. Gregory went 22-for-28 for 436 yards passing and three touchdowns passing as well as a rushing touchdown. Kim hauled in two of his touchdown catches and Sinatro
scored on a 81-yard catch and run in the first quarter. Skyline running back Rashaad Bod-die scored on a 1-yard touchdown run as well. Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said in August that by the end of the season everyone would know who Gregory was.
He was right. “I think he is such a special player. I prob-
ably sound like a broken record. He makes such good decisions and he makes such good throws,” Taylor said following the win against Lake Stevens.
The always humble Gregory said he just wanted to execute the game-plan the coaching staff put together.
“There is a lot of pressure on a big stage like this but I always try to stay within myself, do everything the coaches ask me to do and not try to do too much,” Gregory said.
The senior signal caller was confident the Skyline defense would make one final stop on Lake Stevens final drive of the game.
“We knew they didn’t have any timeouts left so we were just trying to play prevent defense and not let anything behind us. Our defense did an outstanding job closing out the game,” he said.
The Spartans will play Gonzaga Prep in the Class 4A state championship game at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 5 at the Tacoma Dome.

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Eastside Catholic Crusaders set the tone on the opening kickoff against the Lakes Lancers in the Class 3A semifinals at the Tacoma Dome.
Eastside Catholic senior Brandon Wellington returned the opening kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown, giving the Crusad-ers an early 7-0 lead against Lakes. The Crusaders preceded to score 34 points in the first quarter en route to a convincing 49-21 win against the Lancers on Nov. 27 in Tacoma.
With the Crusaders leading 28-0, Lakes quarterback Jaiave Magalei connected with Chris Hunter on a 21-yard touchdown catch cutting Eastside Catholic’s lead to 28-7 with 42 seconds left in the first period.
The momentum cultivated with Lakes’ first touchdown of the game didn’t last long. Wellington returned the Lancers’ ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown, extending Eastside
Catholic’s lead to 34-7 with 27 seconds left in the first quarter. Crusaders’ quarterback Harley Kirsch, who went 12-for-14 for 243 yards and four touchdown passes, said Wellington’s kickoff returns were huge for his team.
“The timing of those plays really helped with the momen-tum of the game. Those two plays definitely helped the game run smoothly,” Kirsch said.
Wellington credited the entire special teams unit and coach-ing staff for his electrifying touchdowns in the return game.
“Coming out of the gate we knew what we had to do. We had to get out there and pounce on them quick. When we’re up that just gives us that kick in our step,” Wellington said. “We emphasize special teams at practice because special teams is a game changer. Sometimes it takes the air out of people and they don’t know how to respond.”
Kirsch connected with Hunter Bryant on two touchdown passes and also found Wellington and Devin Arbis-Jackson on touchdown tosses. Crusaders’ senior wide receiver Matt Laris
caught five passes for 82 yards as well. Tyler Folkes scored the Crusaders final touchdown of the night on 11-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter.
Eastside Catholic will return to the Tacoma Dome to play the Bellevue Wolverines in the Class 3A state championship game Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Eastside Catholic defeated Bellevue 35-13 in the 2014 championship game but Bellevue was vic-torious in the championship contest against Eastside Catholic in 2012 and 2013. Crusaders’ head coach Jeremy Thielbahr said his team is excited about the upcoming matchup against Bellevue.
“We took it from them last year and I know they want to take it back. It’s a great rivalry and it will be a great rematch,” Thielbahr said. “They have been flying under the radar a little bit, they are a great ball-club obviously. They’ve only lost to the No. 1 team in the country (Bishop Gorman). They do a phenomenal job of coaching and their kids believe so deeply in their system. I just think it’s a great battle of colossal programs.”
