on auto skills has become a must. � en there’s specialty training—Baker’s specialty, BMWs, requires a year-long fast track certi� cation program typically o� ered by the Universal Technical In-stitute, though the program’s expanded to public two-year institutions like Renton Technical College. A� er all that, mechanics can expect to invest in up to $10,000 of tools and work poor hours
until they prove themselves reliable, Baker said.
As Baker speaks, Liberty High School sophomore Boris Carias raises his hand to ask a question. Later he raises it again. And again. And again. What’s the best way to stay up to date on BMW technology? How do you qualify for the Universal Technical Institute? Would Baker be more likely to hire someone who earned their STEP certi� cation from UTI, or Renton Tech? Would it be smart to look into a certi� ca-tion for fully electric cars like
the Tesla?“(Becoming a mechanic)
has kind of been on my mind lately,” Carias, 17, said a� er the class. “I learned a lot about what to expect going into the industry.”
Carias was one of more than 200 students to attend the Great Careers Confer-ence at Mary Queen of Peace. � e conference—put on by the Issaquah School District, the Issaquah Schools Foundation, the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, the Work-force Development Council
of Seattle-King County and a number of other private and public partners—focused on vocations that don’t require a traditional four-year college degree, such as the culinary arts, graphic design, cosmetol-ogy or health careers.
Dennis Wright, the Issaquah School District’s di-rector of career and counsel-ing resources, said the district has never lost its sense of the value of trade careers.
“What I truly believe is ev-ery parent wants their child to have a successful career in life,” Wright said. “We’re recognizing that by provid-ing an avenue for students to explore their options.”
By meeting with profes-sionals who have gone through the educational pathway to their job and can communicate the ins and outs of their day-to-day work, students can connect with a living example of their dream career—or � nd out early if it sounds like a nightmare.
“If a kid goes to a break-out session here and learns they really don’t want a career in automotives, that’s
important too,” Wright said.At last year’s conference,
Issaquah High junior Ab-bey Obernberger found out her passion for playing vid-eo games didn’t translate, as she thought it might, into a burning desire to design them. And that was just � ne, she said. She focused on other projects, like the Village � eatre KIDSTAGE apprentice program, which redirected her interest in design toward fashion.
She said the conference had given her a good idea
about what they want to study in college.
Carias, the Liberty High sophomore who had asked all the questions in Baker’s automotive session, was al-ready planning his � nances for a� er high school.
“I was saving up to buy a car,” he said. “But now I think I might put that money toward these train-ing programs.”

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Early in 2015, the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank is in the midst of changes.
Some have been exterior, such as a reorganization of the bank’s interior to expand storage and keep boxes of food out of sight of the clothing bank. And bank leaders are looking at the pos-sibility of expanding into a secondary space, Program Coordinator Rebecca Rayner said.
But the bank is also expanding its service footprint through two new ser-vices adapted from similar programs in neighboring organizations: a grocery delivery service for clients who can’t easily travel and a supplementary food program for grade school students on spring break.
Under the delivery program, dubbed “Groceries 2 Go,” food bank volunteers prepare boxes of food and sanitary products for delivery to clients for whom travel to the bank is di� cult to impossible. � e program is modeled a� er similar services from Eastside Baby Corner. Clients might be homebound from a chronic medical condition, temporary immobility from surgery, lack of access to transportation or other barriers.
“� e reality is there may be people who aren’t coming to the food bank because they physically can’t,” Coordi-nator Kelly Schmidt said.
Schmidt, a former Microso� recruit-er who chose to go into human services a� er caretaking for her late sister, was hired as coordinator for the Groceries 2 Go program under a grant from the Satterberg Foundation. Her role was to implement deliveries without stressing the human resources of the food bank.
� e program began in October through partnerships with area a� ord-able housing organizations, such as Imagine Housing and YWCA Family Village in the Issaquah Highlands.
“� ese are places that have case man-agers on site who know who could bene� t from food delivery,” Schmidt said.
Starting with 15 households, the food bank operated as a waystation for the program. Case managers submit-ted grocery orders, donors brought in groceries, food bank volunteers orga-nized them into boxes for delivery and case managers returned to pick up the boxes and bring them to clients.
In six months, the program has expanded to 34 households, includ-ing personal residences — facilitated through caretakers and volunteers with Catholic Community Services — and Tiger Mountain Community High School. � e program has also added a second delivery day during the week.
“Some clients worry that this is a burden,” Schmidt said. “� is isn’t a burden. � is is something we have re-sources available to do and volunteers available to do.”
� e bank is presently preparing to pilot another program, its spring break food program, at Issaquah Valley and Clark elementary schools. It is work-ing in partnership with the Issaquah Schools Foundation and Kiwanis. � e program is modeled a� er a similar service within the Kirkland Nourish-ing Network which provides a week’s worth of groceries to students to eat during school vacation, when school meal programs are unavailable, Rayner said.
“(Lack of food) de� nitely a� ects you,” Rayner said. “You can’t focus. You can’t remember information. You can’t sit still at your desk. A lot of those kids with ADD are probably just hungry.”
Like the food bank’s regular opera-tions, the spring break program doesn’t require people signing up to prove a need — only that they live within the bank’s service area.
� e bank is soliciting client sign-ups, as well as donors to register and shop for groceries. � e food will be dropped o� at Our Savior Lutheran Church April 1 and April 2, with the donations going out to families later in the day April 2.

a� er-school club or activity group, but their high spirits betray the solemn mission of the night: to better understand poverty.
� e students were participants in the 30 Hour Famine, a faith-based annual ex-periment in simulating the experience of homelessness and food insecurity (“Walking a hungry mile,” Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter, March 6, 2015). Each participant had begun fasting a� er breakfast that morning; � ey wouldn’t eat again until midday Saturday.
Volunteer parent Beth Busacca said 30 hours was the amount of time an impover-ished person might expect to go between meals. Issaquah Food Bank Director Cori Walters, speaking to the participating children in a speech before their walk, said that level of hunger could cause lethargy and poor concen-tration. Impoverished students can addition-ally become the target of bullying for reasons as trivial as wearing old clothing, she said.
“You are here tonight to su� er just a little bit,” Walters said. “You’re here to feel the stress.”
Jack Kendall, a 14-year-old Inglewood
Middle School student who was participating in the famine for his third time, said the fast could be di� cult but that it was fun to bond with the other kids going through it.
“We’re experiencing what other people go through every day,” he said.
Kendall’s friend, Beaver Lake Middle School student Jakob Kubicki, said he found out about the event the year prior while he was participating in another donation drive for famine in Africa.
“Last year we got big things of chicken when it was all over,” Kubicki said. “Last year I could really feel the hunger.
“But I just want to give more and more because of the event.”
Busacca’s daughter was participating for her seventh year in a row, and playing guitar on stage in a brief concert before the walk. � e encouragement of older children does a lot to draw younger kids into the event, she said.
“She’s really exhausted by the end,” Busacca said. “But she always comes away with a posi-tive feeling.”
Participants in the 30 Hour Famine pray before embarking on a two-mile walk from Pine Lake Covenant Church to Sammamish Presbyterian Church.

Jumpin’ Jive to Thrive raises $10,000

A minor landslide last month pushed back the construction timeline on the Sammamish Landing parking lot.
Originally, the parking lot was slated to be com-plete sometime in Febru-ary 2015, according to the project timeline on the city’s website.
Now, construction work-ers and the city hope to wrap up construction before the Fourth of July, Direc-tor of Public Works Laura Philpot said.
� e landslide occurred as
crews were � tting the retain-ing wall in the back of the lot, furthest east from East Lake Sammamish Parkway.
� ere was a clay layer, which did not show up on the original analysis, that lost it’s stability and col-lapsed.
“It’s not major. It’s just enough to disrupt the wall construction,” Philpot said.
She said the landslide was contained quickly; no one was hurt.
Commuters can see the landslide, now draped in plastic, as they drive along East Lake Sammamish Parkway.
Instead of installing a
standard block wall, crews will now construct a soldier pile wall. � is type of wall sits deeper into the ground and is structurally more sound. � e city opted out of building this type of retain-ing wall originally because it is a more expensive option.
Council awarded Pellco Construction Inc. $1,666,100 for the project.
It’s still unclear as to how much this delay will cost the city, as it will take a subcon-tractor to complete the new type of retaining wall.

End personal/philosophical vaccination exemptions
Our country is experiencing a signi� cant measles outbreak, on a pace to be the worst year since 2000, mostly thanks to negligent parents who don’t immunize their children.
Washington has one of the worst vaccina-tion rates in the country. In 2012, an alarm-ing 9% of Clark Elementary students were unprotected. At Issaquah High, 65 students were exempt.
Many ask, “My kid is vaccinated, so why worry?” Because no vaccine is perfect. � e measles vaccine is very e� ective, which is why unvaccinated children are 35 times more likely to contract measles, but it’s “only” 95% to 98% e� ective. So if a child with measles enters a classroom full of vaccinated children, the odds are good that one student will become infected. Do you want your child to be that one? With 18,000 students in the Issaquah School District, 360 to 900 vaccinated students could become infected.
Several legislatures, including Washing-ton, Oregon, and California, have realized that allowing exemptions for “personal/philosophical” reasons has endangered everyone and have introduced bills to
eliminate them. HB 2009 is sponsored by 27 representatives from both parties, including Issaquah representatives Clibborn, Magen-danz, and Senn. Please call your legislators and ask them to end the harmful personal exemption.

When I attended the King County Li-brary Board meeting in Issaquah in January, I heard a presentation by two brave young girls and others who raised the issue of disturbing encounters with porn viewers exercising their “so-called” rights in public libraries. Child porn is blocked but other porn is not. While abuse and violence toward children is thankfully illegal, appar-ently women are fair game.
My concerns are these.Are pedophiles and sexual molesters

Lawmakers � nd money for education — but not enough to meet McCleary
A stream of bills � owing through the state House and Senate would pour several hundred million more dollars into educating children in Washington.
But little, if any, of that proposed spending would bring the state closer to fully funding public schools, as required by the McCleary state Supreme Court decision. Lawmakers aren’t sweating it too much — not yet, anyway — because state tax revenue is expected to increase in com-
ing years a� er years-long recession.� ey know that satisfying the court will require a signi� cant sum — in excess of $1 billion — in the next state budget. But there is a ra� of other issues involving stu-dents and teachers that cannot be ignored, even if they, too, cost a bit of money. “I think people understand that there are two conversations going on here,” said Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self, D-Mukilteo, vice chairwoman of the House Education Committee. � e committee had approved
37 bills as of last week. “We’ve already been told by the court what has to be funded,” she said. “We have to continue � xing the (entire) system. We cannot put our children on hold. We must work to make sure all children in Washington succeed.” Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, chairman of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee, said law-makers understand a lot more money will be spent on educa-tion this session, and getting the most out of those dollars is what other bills address. His panel has passed 39 bills. “Money has never been the issue. � e issue has been the consequences and what you fund and how you fund it,” he said. “How do you get that money to work harder?”

BY REPORTER STAFFA new study by personal �nance
website, Nerdwallet, shows that the city of Sammamish comes out on top of America’s highest earning cities.
NerdWallet used data from a recent Pew Research Center study along with U.S. Census information to formulate its list that ranks com-munities by its proportion of house-holds with incomes of $100,000 or more.
�e median household income for the United States is $52,250.
�ere are only 57 cities in the United States where more than 50 percent of households earn more than $100,000 per year.
�e study shows that just under three-quarters of all households in Sammamish have incomes of $100,000 or more — the highest per-centage in the nation. Nearby high tech employers that include Micro-so�, Boeing and Amazon are a key factor. According to the employment website, Glassdoor, the salary for a
so�ware development engineer at Microso� averages $104,000 a year.
�e city, home to more than 50,000 people, is relatively new. Incorporated in 1999, Sammamish is the third newest city in the state. Ac-cording to Zillow, the average home value in Sammamish is $682,100.
�e runner-up city is La Cañada Flintridge, Calif., home to many who work at nearby Caltech, a private research university that’s also the home of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and more than 5,000 employees.
Just over 73 percent of La Cañada Flintridge residents make more than $100,000 a year. Home values there average more than $1.4 million, ac-cording to Zillow.
�e study used census data on median household income from the 2013 American Community Survey 3-year estimates, which de�ne household income as “the income of the householder and all other indi-viduals 15 years old and over in the
household, whether they are related to the householder or not,” explained NerdWallet analyst Courtney Miller.
�e Pew Survey was conducted via phone interviews between July 16-26, 2012, with a sample of 2,508 adults. Seventeen percent of respon-dents self-identi�ed as upper or upper-middle class, of this group 40 percent had an annual household income of $100,000 or more.
According to Miller, the study by Pew researchers tried to capture how Americans de�ne upper-middle or upper class. �ey found that 40 per-cent of respondents who put them-selves in higher class had an annual household income of $100,000 or more.
U.S. Census Bureau data showed that households earning more than $100,000 represent the top 20 per-cent of all earners in America.

City of Sammamish leads US with percentage of households earning over $100,000, study shows
In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers were violating Washington’s constitution by not ensuring the state pays the full cost of a basic education for elementary and secondary students. Justices set a 2018 deadline to comply. Last year they found lawmakers in contempt for moving too slow. �e state will have spent $15.3 billion of its general fund on public schools in the two-year budget that ends June 30. Another estimated $2 billion to $2.5 billion will be needed to meet the McCleary obligation by 2018 — and that’s without spending money on other education programs. In December, Gov. Jay Inslee proposed a budget for the next biennium containing roughly $1.5 billion for McCleary-related items, including expanding all-day kin-dergarten statewide, reducing class sizes in grades K thru 3 and providing a cost-of-living increase for teachers. �ere’s also money for materials, supplies and operating expenses. House Democrats are expected to release their budget the week of March 23. Senate Republicans will be the last to put forth a budget this session. In the meantime, the education committees in the House and Senate had each approved nearly 40 bills as of last week which, if enacted as written, would cost between $300 million and $350 million in the next biennium. �e most expensive is House Bill 1491, introduced by Rep. Ruth Kagi, R-Seattle. It would cost $204 million, with the money spent to expand the state’s preschool program, known as Early Achievers, and improve the quality of child
care services. Litzow wrote a companion measure in the Senate. Early learning programs are not legally part of basic education, so they aren’t considered part of the McCleary case. But Democrats and Republicans say early childhood education is critically important to academic success in later grades and must not su�er because of the spending elsewhere mandated by the court. “We’re pouring billions of dollars into K-12. We need to start investing in early learning. It’s the best return on investment,” Litzow said. Among other bills are ones to provide low-income elementary students breakfast so they don’t start the school day hungry; to ensure students who are removed from school for disciplinary reasons continue receiving academ-ic instruction; and requiring schools to let parents of third-graders know if their child is not reading at grade level. As of Friday, some of the bills had passed one chamber and were headed to the other. House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, said this is a key period in the session. �e focus of legisla-tors begins to pivot toward the budget, and authors of all those bills try to attract broad enough support to secure consideration. “Everybody knows more money is going to go to Mc-Cleary,” he said. “Nobody knows how much more a�er that.”

When standards of common decency diminish, low-lifes move in and safety moves out. Would we tol-erate this in our city halls, licensing o�ces court-houses, hospitals, schools or any other government-owned building?
I have written to the new director of KCLS to ask what he intends to do about it. �is is unaccept-able. You may follow the thread of concerned citi-zens by Googling articles in porn viewing in Sno-qualmie Ridge and other King County libraries.

King County stormwater plan ready for review
Every year, King County updates its work plan for addressing stormwater runo�, drainage issues and water pollution problems and shares the information in a Stormwater Manage-ment Program Plan, which is now available for review and comment.
To review and comment,
go to kingcounty.gov/stormwater. Comments on the dra� plan are welcome through March 16. King County responds to and in-cludes all public comments in the updated plan that is submitted to the Washing-ton State Department of Ecology.
�is year’s focus includes addressing the e�ects of stormwater �ows on natural water systems, and determining what data are needed as part of watershed-scale stormwater
planning. Rain is the backdrop to
the Paci�c Northwest and development and his-tory have transformed how quickly rain moves across King County’s landscapes. �e annual plan connects actions by individuals and their consequences for our waters. Practices like fertilizing yards or driving cars that leak oil can pollute water.
Residents are invited to comment on the plan, attend a Natural Yard Care workshop, and �x car leaks. Find out more at kingcounty.gov/beinggreen.
BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Last week Sammamish police saw a spike in car prowls.Within an a�ernoon there were more than �ve reports
of larceny in the Timberline neighborhood. �ere were at least 10 reports related the the slew of car prowls between March 2 and March 4, according to King County Sheri� incident reports.
Normally, police might log one or two car prowls on any given day.
Sgt. Peter Horvath of the Sammamish Police Depart-ment, which contracts through King County Sheri� ’s O�ce, said they do not have any suspects, but are investi-gating a person of interest.
�ough Sammamish doesn’t see a lot of violent crimes, it’s not a crime-free city. Property crime in Sammamish is among the leading incidents in the county’s logs, along with domestic disputes and mail the�.
Residents are very trusting, Horvath said, and they leave their cars unlocked. Sometimes, people will leave valu-ables, garage door openers and even their car keys in the car.
Police think some of these crimes are committed from out-of-towners, taking advantage of Sammamish residents’ trusting nature.
In a couple of recent cases, vehicles were stolen because the keys had been le� in the unlocked cars with the keys inside. Horvath said this was likely a crime of opportunity, as it was clear someone had walked through Timberline
prowling vehicles parked on the street, in private driveways and on private roads.
“Our biggest goal is to have people secure their cars and remove valuables from visibility,” Horvath said.
In an e�ort to increase awareness, Horvath started surveying Timberline last week, placing bright green rating sheets on parked cars in residential areas.
�e sheet states whether or not the car is an easy target. Leaving valuables in plain sight, leaving a window or
sunroof open, leaving the doors unlocked, leaving the garage door opener le� in sight and leaving the keys inside the vehicle make it an easy target.
“Even if we only reach a handful of people, we hope people will talk about it with their neighbors,” Horvath said.
He hopes people will spread the word and help keep Sammamish neighborhoods more safe.
Unlocked cars and garages contributes car prowls, theft in Sammamish
BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
With citizen survey results in, the Is-saquah City Council has begun the annual process of setting long term city goals.
At Monday’s council work session, Coun-cil President Paul Winterstein established a timeline in which the council would revisit the survey March 24, submit proposals for goals a week later, hear sta� responses in April and cement goals at the work session and council retreat in May and June, respec-tively. Winterstein said good goal proposals would be based on observable data backed up by the survey and come with the backing of councilmember sponsorship.
At the session, senior city administrators were already prepared to address myriad issues within the municipal government, including needed projects and the availability
of funds to make them happen.Financial Director Diane Marcotte told
councilmembers the city would need to lock into a �nancially sustainable sweet spot by balancing pay-as-you-go services and municipal debt. Financial sustainability is more than just a balanced budget in a given year, Marcotte said.
“It’s looking out 10, 15 years, or even further and making sure council goals for the community are being met,” she said.
�e city’s infrastructure will need sustainable funding in order to meet the demand for repairs that will come from urbanization under the Central Issaquah Plan, said Deputy City Administrator Em-ily Moon and Public Works Operations Director Bob Heath.

It wasn’t a state cham-pionship but the Eastside Catholic Crusaders will take it.
Eastside Catholic cruised to a 68-56 victory against the Seattle Prep Panthers in the third place/� � h place game at the Class 3A state tournament at the Tacoma Dome on March 7. Eastside Catholic senior sharpshoot-er Max Hudgins � nished with a team-high 22 points in the � nal game of the 2014-15 season against the Panthers. Fellow senior Mandrell Worthy added 15 points in the win. Worthy had mixed emotions as he le� the court for the � nal time during his high school career. � e goal of winning the Class 3A state title wasn’t achieved but the Crusaders ended their season with a victory and a third place � nish.
“We’re de� nitely disap-pointed. We wanted to win a ring obviously. � at was the goal but it was good for all of our senior class to end our careers on a win. � ere is a lot of teams not playing right now so to end it with third place is pretty good,”
Worthy said. Eastside Catholic head
coach Bill Liley was thrilled to see his squad get on track a� er getting blown out by Rainier Beach in the semi� nals.
“� at is how we usually play. � at is us. It was about time,” Liley said. “To be able to beat a really solid club in Seattle Prep, that means a lot.”
Worthy said Hudgins
performance in the season � nale will be something he will always remember.
“I know he had been struggling throughout the tournament but that is how it is sometimes. We just told him to keep shooting. He is going to be a college basketball player and that (shooting) is what he does best,” Worthy said. “He came up big for us today.”
Hudgins went 7-for-14
from the � oor and hit four three-pointers.

Eastside Catholic rebounds from semi� nal loss against Rainier Beach, defeat the Seattle Prep Panthers 68-56 in third place/� fth place game at the Tacoma Dome
Rainier Beach dominates Eastside Catholic in semi� nal matchup
� e Rainier Beach Vikings derailed the Eastside Catholic Crusaders aspirations of winning a state cham-pionship.
Rainier Beach’s formidable defense held Eastside Catholic to just 10 � eld goals in a 61-33 win in the Class 3A semi� nals on March 6 at the Tacoma Dome. � e Vikings outscored the Crusaders 22-6 in the fourth quarter of play. Worthy had a team-high 12 points in the loss and senior Matisse � ybulle added 11 points as well. � ybulle went 2-for-12 from the � eld.
“A lot of it was on me for missing. Sure they contested those shots but those are the kind of shots I need to make,” � ybulle said.
� e Crusaders went 10-for-42 from the � eld as a team.
“When you shoot 23 percent from the � eld that’s not going to win you very many basketball games against anyone. Especially against a team like Rainier Beach,” Liley said. “� at’s a good team. � ey were ranked No. 1 in the state for a quite a bit of the season and for good reason. � ey are a very good basketball team.”
Rainier Beach started the game with a 5-0 run, which threw o� the Crusaders game-plan of slowing down the pace of the game while limiting Rainier Beach’s fast break and transition game. Rainier Beach star Dejounte Murray scored a team-high 16 points for the Vikings in the contest.
“We were going to try to shorten the game and make all of the possessions really long to get them frustrated. We wanted to keep the game close. We’ve done pretty well in close games lately,” Liley said. “It didn’t help when they got the 5-0 lead.”

Eastside Catholic Cru-saders boys basket-ball head coach Bill
Liley exhibited his custom-ary gregarious smile while
congratu-lating his players along the bench for a phe-nomenal season as the � nal seconds trickled o� the
clock in Eastside Catholic’s dominating 68-56 victory against the Seattle Prep Panthers in the Class 3A third/� � h place contest on March 7 at the Tacoma Dome.
� e third place � nish at the state tournament didn’t surprise me, but the news Liley unveiled to me following the game le� me stunned.
“� is is my last game at Eastside Catholic,” Liley said before making his way to the locker room. “Like a senior playing his last game here at the dome, we all decided we wanted to go out the right way. � ese kids have a lot of character and they showed it today. � ey bounced back a� er a really tough loss (61-33 loss to Rainier Beach in Class 3A semi� nals) last night and came in here today and played with a little bit of spirit, anger, determination and frustra-tion. � at equaled into a win. I’m proud of these guys.”
Liley said his team knew the 2014-15 season would be his � nal one as the Crusaders coach but didn’t reveal the secret to the masses before the tourna-ment took place. Liley was mum about his future plans and instead wanted to relish
and re� ect on the Crusad-ers’ third-place � nish at the state tourney. � e Crusad-ers went 78-35 during his four seasons as head coach.
“I want to give these kids their due and celebrate their season. It’s not about me, it’s about them. I want
it to be about them right now. I will talk about what I have in store for next year later,” he said.
One thing is for sure, the Crusaders will miss Liley’s presence on the hardwood.
He is a charismatic in-dividual who got the most
out of his players. Liley is gregarious,
caring and down to earth while being simultaneously hard-nosed, disciplined and professional.
It’s almost impossible to de� ne what makes a person charismatic but Liley pos-sesses those qualities in droves.
Much like Russell Wil-son, he just has a likable persona. I’m sure Liley
dominates any job interview he partakes in. Like I was telling some of my buddies the other day, if I was a high school athlete I would run through a proverbial wall for that guy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of his players felt the same way.
What Liley accomplished in his four seasons at East-side Catholic will never be forgotten.

the continued use of their complete road system, as opposed to piecemeal responses to individual streets, with an eye toward maintenance, operation and long-term � nancial plan-ning beyond an individual year, Moon said.
� e city may also be looking at necessary new o� ce space for administra-tive and police services.
Issaquah’s primary city hall building on East Sunset Way was originally intend-ed to be a full police station. However, a need for o� ce space resulted in the top � oor being reserved for city
administrators, with police operations being restricted to the lower levels. � at’s resulted in police services being crowded, Police Chief Scott Behrbaum said.
For instance, interviews with citizens reporting crimes have to be done in the lobby area, he said.
“We’re having to have pri-vate conversations in very public forums and that’s something that needs to be improved,” Behrbaum said.
� e use of that building for city administrators was meant to be temporary, Economic Development Director Keith Niven said. Further, the splitting of city services among multiple city hall buildings made public services, in a city that prides itself on the ideals of sustainability, inef-� cient, he said.
� e city is still soliciting citizen input on its goals through March 16. More information can be found at issaquahwa.gov.

Most years, summer seems to � y by fast. But that wonderful, warm season can seem very long when you’re not prepared. To ensure that you can give your children the best summer ever, look into the variety of summer camps on o� er in our region and book them in early. These days, summer camps o� er
an astonishing breadth of choice for all kinds of interests. Traditional outdoor activities, science, sports, arts, language immersion, and scouting are just some of what’s available for kids. It is worth taking the time to browse the options along with your children; their comments will reveal exactly what is most likely to work for them.
Know how to listen and be decisive
Maybe your children have
already experienced summer camp, in which case you’ll be able to make a choice according to their likes and needs. You could also � nd out about camps that their friends go to, as they will probably be tempted by the same ones.If none of the camps available are of
interest to them, you could compare the di� erent possibilities yourself. There are general camps suitable for a wide range of children, while there are many others that aim to develop one particular strength. You could even take into account their school work or their personal aptitudes to help you come to a decision.Is it still hard to decide? Just follow
your instincts. Book a short week instead of a full summer away, and then you’ll know for next year. And share all the positive experiences you had as a child at summer camp, or even better, show them some photos of your own life-long summer camp memories.

This summer, Mercer Island’s Stroum Jewish Community Center will host the largest Jewish camp in the Paci� c Northwest.The camp, for kids ages 5-16, has
been operating since 1959 and is open to everyone regardless of religious a� liation. The J welcomed nearly 1,000 individual campers in Summer 2014.Sessions range from one to three
weeks, and themes include sports, science, arts and crafts and specialty camps like photography, survival/wilderness, Lego and � lm production. This year, Youth Theatre Northwest will help run the performing arts camp. The largest and most popular summer camp is Camp Kef. “Kef” means fun in Hebrew.Last year, camp adventures included
“ice blocking” at Gas Works park, kayaking, hiking with rescue dogs at
Rattlesnake Ridge, paint balling and having all-camp activities: a luau, color war and Israel Day.Camp content and activities are
designed to inspire and teach universal values such as respect, helping others and welcoming everyone. Every Friday afternoon, campers and counselors gather for Shabbat and a song session, which families are welcome to attend.The J also provides opportunities for
high school and college students to gain job and leadership experience as sta� members for the Welcome Desk, camp counselors or before and after school caretakers. “There’s something for everybody,”
said camp director Mark Rosenberg. “There’s Jewish content, but the values are universal.”Find out more at sjcc.org.

101 Bene� ts of summer campChildren and teenagers who go to
summer camp don’t return home with just good memories. According to a recent study by Canada’s University of Waterloo, these young people also experience remarkable levels of development in several areas. Here are some interesting statistics that were revealed by this study:
• Summer camp is a good remedy for shyness. Sixty-fi ve percent of the young people studied improved their ability to make friends and resolve con� icts.
• Emotional intelligence is refi ned. About 69 percent of participants had an increased ability to recognize and analyze their own emotions as well as those of the people around them.
• Summer camp is excellent for improving self-confi dence. Some 67
percent of the young people felt more independent and had more confi dence in themselves after attending camp.
• In the age of global environmental awareness, summer camp can play an extremely useful role. In the study, over half of the young people learned how to better protect the environment and to act appropriately with regards to it.
• Camp helps children be less sedentary. Being in a group and having easy access to the outdoors increased children’s interest in physical activity. At the end of their camp, 61 percent of participants felt more interested in sports.
Even if children have already participated in a few summer camps, the experience is always benefi cial.
Each new camp brings its share of challenges and positive growth, and
that contributes to their development. And best of all, it’s fun.

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Fourth quarter execution proved to be a pivotal fac-tor for the Issaquah Eagles against the Kentwood Conquerors in the Class 4A boys basketball fourth place/sixth place matchup on the �nal day of the state tournament.
Issaquah outscored Kentwood 16-5 in the �nal minutes of regulation, cap-turing a 61-51 win to earn fourth place in the Class 4A tournament on March 7 at the Tacoma Dome. �e Eagles hit 10 free throws from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter to put the game away. Issaquah senior Ty Gibson had a game-high 32 points and seven rebounds in the vic-tory. Gibson went 10-for-18 from the �eld. Gibson scored a total of 87 points during the tournament, which broke the previous tournament record of 81 points scored in 2011.
“It couldn't happen to a better kid,” Issaquah Eagles head coach Jason Gri�th said of Gibson attaining the state record.
“He’s worked hard for four years for this pro-gram. To see him come in here and perform the way he did on the biggest stage as far as high school basketball is concerned, it was fun to watch.”
Gri�th said Gibson has transformed the basketball program since arriving as a freshman during the 2011-12 season.
“He’s de�nitely led the turn around. Five years ago we came here (as a coach-ing sta�) and our goal was to make Issaquah impor-tant again. Ty was the guy
who started his freshman year and ended up leading us to the state tournament. We’ve gone the past two years now.”
�e Eagles trailed 49-48 a�er three quarters but Gri�th’s plan in the second half worked to perfection in the �nal eight minutes of the 2014-15 season. �e Eagles zone defense sti�ed the Conquerors o�ense while the Issaquah o�ense aggressively attacked the basket to get to the free throw line consistently in the fourth quarter. Eagles' guard Jason Crandall
recorded a steal and cruised to a driving lay-up, giving the Eagles a 52-48 lead with 3:51 le� in regulation. Issaquah never relinquished their momen-tum following Crandall’s clutch play.
"We felt like whoever was going to make that �rst run was going to win the game. We just challenged our kids each quarter. I felt like they (Kentwood) got a little stationery when we went to the zone (defense)," Gri�th said. “�ey missed a couple of shots and we capitalized in transition with a couple of steals. We started knocking down some free throws too.”
�e Eagles have ad-vanced to the state tourna-ment three times in the
past four seasons. “It's really special,”
Gibson said. “When I was an eighth grader Issaquah didn't even make it to the KingCo tournament. It says a lot about this senior class. �is is a special group of players. We put in a lot of work to get this program to where it is now. I think the younger guys will continue that.”
Gri�th said he will look back on the 2014-15 sea-son with fond memories.
“It was a great season. At the end of the day we played over 50 percent of our season with one guy having a lot of experience and that was Ty Gibson. You always see great high school players lead their teams back to the state tournament and he did
that,” Gri�th said. �e Eagles were deter-
mined to place at the state tournament a�er losing 63-55 to Union in the Class 4A quarter�nals on March 5.
“It feels great. A�er we lost to Union we came together as a team and said we wanted to win the next two games to get fourth place,” Gibson said. “To accomplish that goal a�er a heartbreaking loss like that. It means a lot and is a great way to end my career here,” Gibson said.
Gibson scores 42 points in loser-out contest Gibson simply wouldn’t let his team’s season end in a loser-out state playo� game against the Moses Lake Chiefs. Gibson scored a stagger-ing 42 points in Issaquah’s 74-61 win against Moses Lake on March 6 at the Tacoma Dome. Crandall said Gibson was in the zone against Moses Lake. “I don’t even remember him missing any shots. I was surprised he scored 42 because he did it within the parameters of our team o�ense. He was just getting shots out of our o�ense. He played an amazing game,” Crandall said of Gibson. Gibson went 16-for-18 from the free throw line and 11-of-20 from the �eld. “He has had some special games in his career but 42 points on this stage doesn’t surprise me though,” Gri�th said.

Since the New Year I've learned a new work schedule, more so� ware, new kata in karate, new chords on the banjo and a new recipe. I've had to remember to remind
my daughter not to wear boots on the days of gym class and make sure my son practices his trumpet. I've had to remem-ber appointments for the family and I've had to remember to book those appointments. I've also forgotten a lot of things: appointments, meetings, electric bills, book titles, garbage
day and open house night at school. Some days, I feel like I'm doing well if everyone in my family is fed and wearing clean clothes.
We put a lot of stress on our brains so it makes sense that we occasionally forget things. Friends just a few years older as-sure me that this forgetfulness doesn't go away so I’m doing everything in my power to try to keep my mind sharp.

Village � eatre's next season is sure to have something appealing for all audiences, said Steve Tomkins, the theatre's ar-tistic director following last weeks announcement of the upcoming schedule.
� e lineup, which in-cludes; "Snapshots" a new musical "scrapbook" featur-ing the music of "Wicked" creator Stephen Schwartz; Lerner-Loewe's musical classic "My Fair Lady" for its Christmas production; "Crimes of the Heart" a Southern Gothic comedy; "My Heart is a Drum" a "spirited" new coming-of-age musical set in Ghana; and the Broadway smash "Billy Elliot" with music by Elton John.
Tomkins said the season — which runs Sept. 30 to July 3, 2016 in Issaquah and Oct 23 to July 31, 2016 in Everett — is a compli-ment to the success of the current season and a com-mitment to taking theatri-cal risks while continuing to focus on incredible production and stories.
"� is season is a celebra-tion of authentic characters and their inspiring trans-formations," he said. "A lowly � ower girl becomes an elegant debutante; a young African woman boldly breaks the mold of tradition; a boy changes his community by daring to pursue a di� erent kind of dream. � ese stories are brimming with humanity."
� e extended run of "Mary Poppins" smashed the theater's attendance record of more than 200,000 audience members and helped Village � eatre exceed 19,200 subscribers making it the second-larg-est subscription theatre in the Paci� c Northwest.

Many films to be shown in new theatre at SJCC
The following is a press release from Sara Huey PR, representing the Seattle Jewish Film Festival:
Across nations, lan-guages, religions and cul-tures, Jewish film opens a window into new nar-ratives, perspectives and ways of living; confirm-ing shared stories, cul-tural connections, and common humanity.
The 20th annual Seattle Jewish Film Festival, a program of Mercer Island's Stroum Jewish Community Center (SJCC), show-cases films from “Here, There, and Everywhere” — this year’s theme — welcoming films from around the globe and around the corner, and presenting audiences with unique journeys to destinations both near and far.
The festival is the larg-est Jewish event in the Pacific Northwest and one of the largest and most prominent Jewish film festivals in the country.
Opening Night on March 14 features the German-Israeli co-production “Hanna’s Journey,” a refresh-ing look at how a third generation is coping with the legacy of the German-Israeli histori-cal relationship on the 50th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomat-ic relations.
Attendees at Opening Night will also enjoy a contemporary exhibit on “Jewish Life in Germany Today,” initiated and
sponsored by the German Embassy in Washington and coordinated by the SJCC and the Consulate General of Germany in San Francisco. Closing Night, March 22, will take place in the SJCC’s Cultural Arts venue, which opened last year following an extensive renovation.
A special event and annual favorite, the Matzoh Momma Brunch and Family Film, includes a timely docu-mentary on U.S.-Cuban relations through the lens of the two nations’ common sport and favorite pastime,“Havana Curveball.”
The annual Senior Screening, slated for Friday, March 20, fea-tures “Marvin Hamlisch: What He Did For Love,” and is priced for low-income seniors age 65+ at $5 per person. Caregivers and family members are welcome to join in at the same low rate.
A full schedule of screenings and special
events is available online at www.seattlejewish-filmfestival.org. Single tickets are $12 general admission; various dis-counts available. Special events cost $20. Passes cost between $90 and $250. All proceeds sup-port the Seattle Jewish Film Festival.
Sponsorship levels and benefits are available online or by contacting the Festival Director at [email protected] or 206-388-0832.
The Seattle Jewish Film Festival is a pro-gram of the Stroum Jewish Community Center.
Venues include AMC Pacific Place 11, SIFF Cinema Uptown and SJCC on Mercer Island.

STAFF WRITERSeattle Weekly is seeking a Sta� Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S.
The Sta� Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the � eld rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.
This Sta� Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sni� out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial sta� meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.
Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Sta� Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.
Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Sta� Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t � nd anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to � nd a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to � nd the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.
The Sta� Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial o� ce environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.
And, most important, the Sta� Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.
To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your � ve favorite stories to: [email protected]. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.
