Voters in the Issaquah SchoolDistrict will have to wait a bitlonger to make their feelingsknown on a proposed bond.

The board voted to adjust theprojects on the $219 millionbond and delay its appearanceon the ballot from February toApril.

The board moved the vote atthe request of the bond cam-paign committee, Volunteers forIssaquah Schools.

“They came andsaid, essentially, ‘Wewould like more time,’”

Board Member Brian Deaglesaid. “That carries a lot of weightwith me.”

Board President Jan Colbresesaid the change would allow thecampaign to become better orga-nized.

In 2014, voters also maydecide a capital improvementlevy — not a bond issue — topay for some items removedfrom the original proposal forthe 2012 bond question.

The board removed the itemslargely at the request of Deagle,though he received supportfrom Magendanz and boardmember Marnie Maraldo.

Deagle argued that for someseemingly routine maintenanceitems, the district should beusing a “pay-as-you-go”approach. But even setting asidewhat he saw as a common-sensepolicy, Deagle and others saidusing a levy ultimately wouldsave the district interest dollars.

“At the end of the day, thereare things we shouldn’t be bor-rowing money to do,” he said.

When using bond financing,the district sells bonds to pay forprojects, and then pays thatmoney back — with interest —

For Kathy Richardson, thedecision to run for City Council isa natural extension of her earlierpublic engagement – first repre-senting fellow shoreline home-owners dur-ing theShorelineMaster Planprocess andlater asvice-chair-woman ofthe Planning Commission.

Nancy Whitten, running forher third term againstRichardson, has a longer-term

view of the election. Whitten,who sees herself as one of thestrongest advocates for the envi-ronment on the council, was con-cerned enough aboutRichardson’s presence on thecouncil that she switched seats at

the last minute torun against her.She said she’s con-cerned of the effectRichardson’s elec-tion would have onthe balance of thecouncil when it

Incumbent Whittento face Richardson

By Caleb Heeringa

The phrases “fiscal responsibil-ity,” “smart growth” and“crossover point” passed throughthe lips of nearly every candidateat the Sammamish City Councildebate Sept. 28.

But differences of opinion onthose issues were on display asfive of the six candidates runningfor three open spots on the coun-cil were quizzed on their plansfor the city’s finances, the possi-ble effects of the city building acommunity and aquatic centerand the best way to provide fireservice to the city in the future.

Kathy Richardson, runningagainst incumbent

Councilwoman Nancy Whitten,was unable to attend due to anAfrican vacation she said wasplanned long before her decisionto run for council. A videorecording of her opening state-ment was played and PeterScontrino, one of her supporters,read a closing statement fromRichardson.

Asked what they would do toaddress the city’s reliance onproperty taxes and the loomingdate at which the city’s expensesoutpace the tax revenue it bringsin, Jim Wasnick called for thecity to be more proactive in push-ing along the Town Center Plan,

environmental protection.Councilman Mark Cross, anothervocal proponent for the environ-ment, is not running for reelec-tion.

“I have a lot of respect for(Richardson),” Whitten said. “Ithink she’s very thoughtful. But Ithink she’s strongly anchored to agroup that is solely concernedwith property rights – she’s notindependent thinking in thatarea.”

Richardson says the countlesshours of give-and-take during theShoreline Master Plan process isevidence enough of her ability tostrike compromise in the area ofproperty rights and the environ-ment. She also notes thatWhitten is a shoreline owner her-self, with a home on the shoresof Pine Lake, and says she’s notconvinced that Whitten’s recentvoting record is as green as sheclaims.

“I didn’t see a great degree ofevidence that she was carryingthe banner for the environmentduring (the SMP) discussion,”Whitten said.

In recent council meetings,Whitten has called theWashington State Department ofEcology’s requirement for federal

size stan-dards fordocks onPine andBeaver Lake“arbitraryand capri-cious” andquestionedwhetherthere arenative fishspecies pre-

sent in either lake. County andstate biologists say native cut-throat trout were caught in PineLake during the most recent fishsurvey – in the year 2000. Andstate DOE representatives notethat large docks affect the entire-ty of the ecological function ofthe lakes, not just fish.

Whitten also supported keep-ing a 13-year-old storm waterstandard for developments small-er than an acre rather thanadopting the newer, more strin-gent standards for all develop-ments in the city, as had beenadvocated by local environmen-talists, Cross and Deputy MayorTom Odell.

Whitten points to the stormwater decision as an example ofher finding compromise andadopting policy that has measur-able impact rather than nebulousaffect. The council added a last-minute amendment that requiresprojects that disturb more than

7,000 square feet to do “soilamendments” – tilling compostin soil so that it will soak upmore water and slow the rate ofrunoff into local streams.

The storm water issue,Whitten counters, is also instruc-tive when it comes toRichardson’s stance on the envi-ronment. During the ShorelineMaster Plan process, Richardsonand other shoreline homeownersargued that it was unfair for thecity to place the burden of main-taining the ecological function ofthe city’s lakes on the shouldersof those on the shore when thescience shows that a vast majori-ty of storm water runoff in thelakes comes from homes andbusinesses all aroundSammamish and surroundingcities.

But while vice chairwoman ofthe Planning Commission,Richardson sided with the major-ity that suggested the councilallow smaller developments tomeet the older, looser stormwater standards. Whitten seesthis as a double standard. Sheargues that Richardson had anopportunity to ensure that allSammamish homeowners wouldshare the responsibility for thelakes, but she passed in the nameof property rights.

Richardson argues that adopt-ing the newer storm water stan-dards for small developments

would havebeen “toodraconian,”requiringsomeonedevelopingeven a smallsingle-familyhome to pay$3,000 to$6,000 for astorm waterengineering

report that may not even be help-ful. She said it didn’t make senseto address what she sees as oneunfair set of government regula-tions (the Shoreline Master Plan)with another (the stricter stormwater manual).

“I think, where we can, weshould be incentivizing, encour-aging and educating peoplerather than requiring them to dosomething,” she said.

But a look at the campaigncontributions that have beengiven to each candidate showsthat it’s not just Whitten whobelieves there is a gap betweenthe two when it comes to theenvironment. Richardson, whohad collected more than $6,800through the end of September,has received donations from sev-eral shoreline homeowners whowere outspoken during the SMPprocess, including Mike Collins(through Concentric 2 LLC), RoryCrispin and George Toskey.

Whitten, who has raised only$1,400, has a donation from EricaTiliacos, a former planning com-missioner and environmentaladvocate.

In an interview, Whitten alsomentioned that she was lookingout for other candidates, namelyRamiro Valderrama, in switchingseats. She said she hopes tomaintain a block of “centrist”members on the council.

“I wanted to give Ramiro achance to run against some oppo-nents that were not quite asstrong,” she said.

In addition to the environ-ment, the two differ a bit on theideal location of a potential com-munity and aquatic center.Whitten said she’d be open tocutting out the competitive lapswimming pool and moving thebuilding outside of Town Center,possibly to a property owned bythe YMCA near Pine Lake MiddleSchool, in order to save moneyby avoiding the city’s require-ments for structured parking.

“I don’t have all the answers,”she said. “I’d like to see the facili-ty happen, but $65 million ismore than this community canafford.”

Richardson, who also supportscutting out the lap pool and part-nering with the YMCA, saidTown Center is obviously theideal spot for a potential facilityand moving it outside of there toavoid the city’s own regulationswould send the wrong message toTown Center developers.

“We need to try to lead byexample,” she said. “It’s contraryto the whole idea … If you can’tlive by those standards as a city,how do you expect private devel-opers to?”

Sammamish’s teen recreationcenter will not open until lateOctober or early November.

Remodel work on the formerlibrary building, on the corner of228th Avenue and Inglewood HillRoad, is expected to wrap up nextweek, said Jane Ronngren, execu-tive director of the Redmond andSammamish branch of the Boys

and Girls Club.The club will spend the begin-

ning of October moving in andhopes to have a “soft opening”and get kids in the doors some-time in October.

A larger grand openingevent will be scheduled forthe end of the month or thefirst part of November,Ronngren said.

The club and the city of

Sammamish, which is leasingthe 10,000 square foot build-ing to the club, had hoped tohave the Sammamish EX3Teen and Recreation Centeropen by the first day ofschool but construction tooklonger than expected.

The facility will likely openprior to the city completing a sec-ond access point for the parkinglot. Kellye Hilde, project manager

for the city, said the city expectsto finish a driveway fromInglewood Hill Road by mid-November.

Until then, drivers can onlyget to the parking lot when driv-ing southbound on 228thAvenue.

Once open, the facility willgive teens access to a computerlab, performance stage, teachingkitchen and ping-pong and pool

tables. The Boys and Girls Club is

currently raising money for theeventual addition of a gym on theproperty. Annual fees are expect-ed to be around $120.

Sammamish teen center likely to open later this month

Sammamish residents facechoices in City Council andIssaquah School Board races(there are no contested races inthe Lake Washington SchoolDistrict), plus a series of state bal-lot measures, on the Novemberballot.

The deadline for people to reg-ister online or by mail to vote isOct. 10. Qualified residents canregister in person at King CountyElections in Renton or a registra-tion annex at the King CountyAdministration in Seattle.

In order to register as aWashington voter, a person mustbe a U.S. citizen, a Washington

resident, at least 18 by ElectionDay and not under the authorityof the state Department ofCorrections.

In Washington, voters do notregister by political party ordeclare political party member-ship to vote in primary or generalelections.

If a voter misses the Oct. 10deadline, he or she can still regis-ter in person at the electionsoffice or the Seattle annex byOct. 31.

King County Elections openedthe Seattle annex to offer peopleanother opportunity for in-per-son registration assistance,Elections Director Sherril Huffsaid. The annex handles address

and name changes, voter notifi-cation cards and voter registra-tion drive materials. Citizens canalso cancel voter registration atthe annex.

However, the annex does notoffer services other than voterregistration issues. Voters should

contact the elections office aboutreplacement ballots, signatureproblems and other issues.

“People register to vote orupdate their registration informa-tion every day,” Huff said in astatement. “We often see longlines form when deadlines for in-

person voter registration occur.Providing this additional locationoffers added convenience to vot-ers throughout the year andhelps manage those days whenwe see our highest levels ofdemand.”

Election Day is Nov. 8. Theelections office plans to mail bal-lots to voters next month.

Voters can return completedballots at a drop box or throughthe mail. Mailed ballots require afirst-class stamp.

Ballots must be postmarked byNov. 8 or returned to a drop boxby 8 p.m. the same day. The elec-tions office maintains a drop atIssaquah and Redmond city hallsduring elections.

over time using tax dollars. Usinglevy financing, the board collectstax dollars and then pays for pro-jects.

Some board members andJacob Kuper, district chief offinance and operations, said thedistrict has bonded out mainte-nance items in the past.

“Historically, it sounds silly tobond carpet,” Kuper said.

But he added that in this case,plans call for the purchase of mil-lions of dollars in carpeting.

Board member SuzanneWeaver had another objection toa capital improvement levy. Asizable district operating levyexpires in the next few years.Officials almost certainly will beasking for renewal of that levy.Weaver expressed fears thatadding to the cost of that levywith maintenance projects wouldmake it a harder sell with voters.

In the end, in a 3-2 vote, theboard approved moving some

items from the bond package to acapital levy, though not all levydetails were finalized. Colbreseand Weaver cast the votes againstthe capital levy.

After debating the idea of acapital levy, board membersmoved forward with finalizing abond package for April. Someprojects received more attentionthan others, including plans torebuild Tiger MountainCommunity High School alongwith Issaquah Middle School andClark Elementary School.

In the original bond proposalput forth by SuperintendentSteve Rasmussen, the total cost ofthe interrelated Tiger Mountainprojects was $86 million.

Initially, Deagle pushed forremoval of the package sayingthe improvements to TigerMountain were not worth theprice tag. He said while thechanges were intended in part toallow better educational pro-gramming at Tiger Mountain,that programming has not beenplanned.

Kuper said the issue was kindof a “chicken and egg thing,” not-

ing some planning couldn’t logi-cally be completed until newfacilities are in place.

Other board members arguedimprovements to the agingIssaquah Middle School couldn’twait. Maraldo said the projectsmight not move forward immedi-ately even if a bond is approved,giving time for the developmentof new educational programs.Although no specific vote wastaken, Deagle backed off theissue, stating the majority of theboard seemed to support movingforward with rebuilding the threeschools.

Deagle also led a somewhat-aborted charge to slash improve-ments to athletic stands at

Issaquah High School.Rasmussen’s bond package

included work to stadiums atIssaquah, Liberty and Skylinehigh schools. Deagle said thefacilities at Skyline and Libertyare substandard and clearly needreplacing. But he argued that isnot the case at Issaquah High.After attending the recentIssaquah-Skyline football game atIssaquah High, Deagle said hefound the environment “perfect.”

Some board members, as wellas audience members, disagreed.Audience members reported longlines to get into the Issaquah sta-dium prior to major footballgames and said fans had to showup hours prior to kick-off in order

to get a seat. In the end, the board agreed to

scaled-down improvements atIssaquah, but left in placeimprovements that will stillgreatly increase stadium seatingcapacity. The board approved theamended bond. With no publiccomment, Magendanz cast theonly negative vote.

The district has posted a com-plete list of bond projects on itswebsite. Visit www.issaquah-wednet.edu.

OPINIONReview editorial

Yes on I-1183 to end state liquor business

Initiative 1183 — putting liquor sales in the handsof retailers instead of the state —is worth a yes vote.

Last year, voters were asked a similar question,challenging the state’s monopoly on liquor sales.The voters said no. But I-1183 is vastly different.

For one thing, small stores like mini-marts willnot be allowed to sell liquor, squelching the fear thatteens will have more access than ever. Only storesover 10,000 square feet will qualify, unless a smallerstore is the only option in town.

Secondly, under I-1183, state revenues willincrease with the state out of the liquor business,primarily due to retail license fees equivalent to 17percent of all liquor sales.

The state Office of Financial Management esti-mates I-1183 could increase state revenues by about$200 million in the first year, and by another $200million over the next six years.

There are a couple other factors we especially likein I-1183.

Liquor licenses can be denied to those outlets thatdo not demonstrate effective sales prevention tominors. In August, nine Sammamish retailers andrestaurants were cited for selling alcohol to minors,following a police sting.

With the state out of the business of selling alco-hol, the Washington Liquor Control Board wouldhave more time to concentrate on enforcement andoversight of its license holders.

Don’t expect huge drops in liquor prices becausethe state’s high tax on liquor will not change. But,yes, prices will be more competitive with the state’smonopoly set aside.

That’s the way a free enterprise system is sup-posed to work, and it will under I-1183.

I-1183 is much improved over last year’s initia-tives 1100 and 1105.

There is little reason to vote against this bill. It isabout privatizing liquor sales, not making access eas-ier.

Beware the anti-1183 campaign that attempts tocreate fears that are not based on the facts.

Ballots will be in the mail mid-October. Watch forthem, and vote yes on I-1183.

A basketfull of

endorsementsThe November election will

decide whether Sammamish movesforward or backward. With thedeparture of long serving councilmembers Mark Cross and MichelePetitti, the political faction that hascreated a city bureaucracy but not acity is breaking up.

Voters have a choice betweencandidates such as Tom Vance,Ramiro Valderrama and NancyWhitten who represent the old guardtrying to hold on to power, andnewer candidates James Wasnick,Jesse Bornfreund and KathyRichardson who are open minded,practical, and ready to move the cityforward.

Why is Whitten running for athird term? Does she have anythingnew to offer? Will she continue drag-ging council meetings past 11 p.m.with her long winded, confusedspeeches and tangential questions?After eight years, a wiser personwould gracefully depart. Not NancyWhitten.

Vote for Richardson.Tom Vance is unquestionably an

establishment candidate. He wasappointed to the planning commis-sion to ensure that City Council poli-cies were not questioned.

His loss to John Curley in the lastelection indicated voters wantedchange. A vote for Vance is a votefor old ideas and a tired vision. Weneed new talent.

Vote for Bornfreund.Valderrama is trying hard to

appear to be a new voice but actual-ly is another establishment candi-date. Bob Brady, Kathy Huckabayand other of the old guard back him.He pours out political jargon and hislack of specifics and openness is aconcern.

Is he an independent candidateor the old guard’s trusted heir? Iwas involved with the Citizens ForSammamish from the beginningwhen it was truly an independent,critical voice for citizen concerns.Valderrama has turned it into anestablishment platform. Make nomistake, Valderrama is a new voicefor old policies.

Vote for Wasnick.This is a do or die election.

Sammamish needs to move for-ward. We need city leaders whoare visionary not reactionary. Weneed council members whorespect the past but are not stuckin the past. We need council mem-bers who are open minded andpragmatic.

Vote for openness, indepen-dence, decisive action. Vote tomove Sammamish forward.

John GalvinSammamish

Ghost candidate?

Why take a chance on a ghostcandidate? Kathy Richardson wasa no show at the only SammamishCandidates’ Forum held before theelection.

She also failed to participate inthe Citizens for Sammamish meet-ing on barricades. Why is Kathynot making herself available to thepublic? One can’t serve the city inisolation.

Nancy Whitten has worked tire-lessly on the City Council to makeSammamish a desirable city. Sheunderstands the issues in depthand is available for public ques-tions and input.

She is fiscally conservative. Shelooks to manage growth whilekeeping our city green andrespecting property rights. Re-electNancy and continue to make ourcity that special place to live.

Support for

ValderramaAs someone that has been

involved with various citizengroups in Sammamish over thelast few years I would like to rec-ommend Ramiro Valderrama forthe City Council. I have seen firsthand his leadership role as head ofthe Citizens for Sammamishgroup.

He has worked on critical issuesfor this city such as the city center,the environment, community ser-vices, transportation, connectivity,as well as the community center.

He has leveraged these meet-

ings by inviting and having severalCity Council members attend themas well as city founders and plan-ning commission members.

He conducts these meetings withefficiency as he identifies the keyissues that concern the citizens.

It has been an impressive andopen forum to attend and let yourconcerns be heard.

It was at one of these meetings afew months ago that the communitycenter was being discussed and hepressed the Mayor to commit toputting the community center to avote.

I have been greatly impressedwith his dedication and leadershipand I feel he has earned his positionto be on the city council.

He will be a great addition whenhe is elected.

Leadership and Values Leadership and values are about more than a title on the City Council, a company or an organization. They are about setting examples, learning and moving forward in a positive and productive way. I’ve brought together diverse groups from across the city to jointly achieve real results to improve our community. But, what’s even more important is doing what is right for one’s family, one’s city, community and oneʼs peers.

Following in FootstepsI am so proud and humble to tell people that my son is a leader and has chosen to follow in my footsteps and enter West Point to serve his country. “My father is a graduate of West Point, where the values of “Duty, Honor and Country” are our standard. I am proud of his work in Sammamish. I am proud of his campaign for City Council. I urge you to support my father in the bid for City Council. He is a person of high standards, who will help the city to continue to excel, just as he has helped me to achieve my aspirations.” Daniel Valderrama, Cadet, West Point Class of 2013

Setting ExamplesSammamish has one of the highest populations of youth under 18 of any city in King County. On our City Council, we need to encourage positive leadership development and service for our youth by setting examples. I serve on the US Service Academies Selection Board and am impressed with the leadership potential in our district.

A Track Record of Real ResultsIt is one thing to claim you are results oriented—quite another to achieve them. Over the last six years, I mobilized Citizens for Sammamish (CFS) to promote dialogue and leverage the considerable diversity, knowledge and expertise within our community. We have developed solutions to many complex challenges and effectively challenged the status quo, producing real changes in how the city and citizens work together. CFS provides a development forum for our cityʼs future leaders. I will build on that success and will continue to listen, learn from you, andproduce real change in how the Council and citizens work together.

noting that commercial growth inthe area would help add moresales tax revenue to the mix. Healso suggested analyzing whetherthe city could charge wirelesscompanies more for building cellphone towers in city right ofways.

Ramiro Valderrama, Wasnick’sopponent, called for taking a“hard look at the city’s expenses”but also downplayed the signifi-cance of the problem. He notedthat with recent low inflation andscaled back road and parks capi-tal expenditures in recent years,the projected “crossover point”between city revenues andexpenditures has been pushed

out to 2016 or later. With fiveyears of breathing room,Valderrama said there wasenough room in the $108.5 mil-lion biennial budget to cut out $1million a year, but did not expandon what specifically should becut.

Later in the debate, both can-didates rejected the idea of a util-ity tax to solve the structuralimbalance. Sammamish is one ofthe only cities in the state thatdoesn’t levy a tax on utilitiessuch as garbage, cable and phoneservice.

“I’m against (a utility tax)unless it’s going towards a specif-ic need that citizens have,”Valderrama said.

Wasnick also said he doubtedwhether it was necessary.

“I’m not in favor of any tax,”he said. “I’m not for a utility tax,

plain and simple – it’s basically aconsumption tax put on all of us.”

Asked whether Sammamishshould stay with Eastside Fire &Rescue after 2014, when theagency’s interlocal agreementexpires, all five called for carefulconsideration of the options butnone suggested outright thatSammamish leave the agency.

Whitten noted that the issuecould loom large in front of nextyear’s council, since changingfire service would be a several-year-long project. She suggestedlooking to tweak the fundingmodel that dictates how muchpartners pay for service.Sammamish representatives havecomplained that basing themodel on assessed value in anarea means Sammamish resi-dents pay more than the servicesthey use compared to more ruralpartners.

“The issue is with the fundingmodel,” Whitten said. “Could it beamended to be more amenable toSammamish … and more equi-table?”

An audience member asked

whether the city should draw upregulations on roosters. hePlanning Commission lookedinto the issue last year after asmall handful of complaints fromresidents who complained theirneighbors’ birds were a noiseissue early in the morning.

Tom Vance, running againstJesse Bornfreund, noted that hewas chairman of the PlanningCommission when the issuecame up last year. The commis-sion heard from multiple roosterowners but no aggrieved neigh-bors and elected not to pass anyregulations.

“It’s kind of an enforcementissue,” Vance said. “The policedon’t want anything to do withroosters and we don’t have a lotof animal control officers up hereon the Plateau … It’s sort of up tothe city’s CommunityDevelopment Department to goout and work with people.”

Bornfreund seemed moreopen to the idea of a set of regu-lations, noting that Sammamishis no longer the rural area it waswhen many people moved here

decades ago.“It’s unfair … to people who

did not sign up to be living nearfarmland,” he said.

Asked for their “one big idea”that they’d be pushing if electedto the council, answers rangedfrom the specific to the philo-sophical.

Whitten said she’d like to seesome sort of intra-city transit ser-vice that could transport peoplefrom neighborhoods to the city’scommercial centers, possibly inpartnership with the school dis-tricts.

Wasnick said he’d like to seethe Town Center project breakground in the next four years andpledged to sit down with develop-ers and see what it would take tomake that happen.

Valderrama said he’d like to domore to integrate volunteergroups like the Kiwanis andRotary into city decisionsbecause “they know the city bet-ter than anyone else.”

Vance said he’d fight for thecity’s interests when it comes tocash-strapped regional transit ser-vices like King County Metro andSound Transit. Metro has recentlydiscussed cutting routes inSammamish.

“It’s going to be a fight and Ithink we need to show up as acity,” he said.

Bornfreund said the youngcity still needed to determinewhat type of city it wants to be.

“Once we get that communityidentity down, we can start work-ing towards it,” he said.

The debate is slated to beshown on Channel 21, the city’stelevision channel, in the comingweeks. The city plans to showthe debate daily, but has yet toestablish a full schedule.

Issaquah School board pits experience aginst freshness

By Tom Corrigan

“I still think we have more work todo,” said Issaquah School Board mem-ber Brian Deagle in discussing why hedecided to seek reelection to the boardseat he has held since late 2006.

On the November ballot, Deaglefaces a challenge for his District 3 boardseat from fellow Sammamish residentPatrick Sansing.

District 3 covers the north end of theschool district including parts ofKlahanie and parts of the portion ofSammamish included in the IssaquahSchool District. Although candidatesrun for a specific geographic seat, voters

district wide cast ballots for all Issaquahschool board members. Members areelected to four-year terms.

Deagle said his main goal is to giveIssaquah School Districtgraduates assurancesthat they are preparedto enter the world,ready for whatevercomes after highschool.

“We have fallen shortof that in a number ofways because we are limited by ourresources,” Deagle said. He added

By Tom Corrigan

Opposing Issaquah School Board mem-ber Brian Deagle on the November ballot,

Sammamish residentPatrick Sansing insistslocal schools are not in badshape.

“I think we have goodschools,” Sansing said. “ButI think they are not goodenough. I really think wecan do better.”

District 3 covers the north end of theschool district including parts of Klahanieand parts of the portion of Sammamishincluded in the Issaquah School District.

Although board candidates run for a specif-ic geographic seat, voters from across thedistrict cast ballots for all Issaquah schoolboard members. Members are elected tofour-year terms.

In terms of improving the schools,Sansing several times referred to officialsneeding to identify “the next big thing, thenext big idea in education.” In many areas,Sansing believes a lack of ideas has led to acertain stagnation in the district.

For example, on 10th-grade, standard-ized-writing tests, Sansing said Issaquahdistrict scores have remained high andvery steady over the years.

“Our schools are good schoolsand will continue to be goodschools, but let’s find that nextthing that makes a difference,that leads to improvement,” hesaid.

Sansing admits he does notknowwhatthatnextbigthingmightbe, butsaidtheschoolboardneedsto getaheadof thecurveand actnow.

San-singalsosaidIssa-quahoffi-cialsneedtoshowmoreleader-ship inother

areas. He is highly critical ofwhat he sees as the currentboard’s lack of long-term finan-cial planning.

“We need to think strategicallyabout the levels of funding andwe need to project that out into

the future,” he said.The school board hammered

out the final pieces of a capitalimprovement bond issue at theirmost recent meeting Sept. 28.Sansing has not opposed thebond, but said officials must putthe measure into a larger finan-cial context.

“My view is at the same time abond is proposed, communicate along-term financial strategy,”Sansing said on his electionFacebook page. “Think about the

big picture and communicatewhen the next bond will be andabout how much.”

Sansing further said schoolofficials need to spell out theirstrategy to deal with likely cuts instate funding.

“We should make our deci-sion with all the facts andfuture plans, not just on themerits of only this bond,”Sansing said.

finances dictate teacher availabil-ity, which in turn dictates andlimits what classes the schoolscan offer.

In order to offer additionaleducational opportunities, Deagleproposed such measures asonline learning which can “putmore hours into the day” andisn’t as teacher intensive.

In addition to dealing withacademic shortfalls caused by atough financial climate, Deaglesaid the district could do a betterjob helping students reach theirindividual potential. In evaluat-ing students, he thinks theschools might depend too muchon standardized tests that hebelieves do not necessarily mea-sure individual performance orpotential. Deagle said on paper,Issaquah school students seem todo pretty well academically. Buthe wondered out loud whetherthe district is lucky enough to

have exceptional students, well-prepared for schools by theirfamilies, or whether the district isthat good at educating.

“I think that’s a question wecan do a better job of answering,”Deagle said.

Deagle believes district moneyproblems all go back to the fail-ure of the state legislature to liveup to its responsibilities. He saidthe state has never made educa-tion its priority as the state con-stitution requires. Better statefunding of education would putstrains elsewhere in Washington’sbudget, Deagle said, but he added

legislatorshave a dutyto uphold theconstitution.

As boardPresident JanWoldsethColbrese hasdecided notto run forreelection,

Deaglesaid he wouldbe the longest

tenured board member remain-ing if he were reelected.

“When I came on the board, Iwas surprised by how much Ididn’t know,” Deagle said. “Iworked hard to fill in the blanks.”

If Deagle and board memberSuzanne Weaver both earnreelection, Deagle would be thesenior member of the board by amatter of months.

Deagle was appointed to theboard in October 2006, whileWeaver was appointed in January2007.

Watch out, Jason Voorhees iscoming to Sammamish thisHalloween.

He won’t necessarily be wield-ing a knife or jumping out of thebushes don-ning theinfamoushockeymask, butthe actorwho playedhim in the1986 movie“JasonLives,” C.J.Graham, willbe at theeighth annu-al Nightmareat BeaverLake Oct. 28and 29,according to event organizers.

What organizers have calledthe largest Halloween haunt pro-duction west of the Mississippiopens Oct. 20 and runs throughHalloween night at Beaver LakePark. Scare Productions puts on

the event, which is the RotaryClub of Sammamish’s biggestfundraiser of the year. Proceedsfrom ticket sales and 20 percentof proceeds from photos withGraham will benefit Rotary’snumerous scholarship funds and

local andinternation-al givingprograms.

“Theproof will bein the pud-ding, but Ihave highexpecta-tions,” saidCurtMadden,head ofScareProductions.

Maddenand a small

team have been working formonths to redesign this year’s‘Nightmare,’ which will featuresome recognizable features, butplenty of new frights, buildingsand themes.

The 2011 theme is “we know

what scares you.” Whereas lastyear’s visitors entered the hauntthrough a rabbit hole and wan-dered through Alice’s creepy,twisted wonderland, in 2011, theymay be taken back to a time ofwerewolves and Frankenstein.

Visitors should also prepare to

face some of their phobias, as theapproximately 120 actors eachnight are training extra to mastertheir spooking skills, said DanaYoung, a lead organizer for theevent.

For 11-year-olds Katie andMary Ginther, like most siblings,little disagreements can oftenturn into conflicts. Anything, likewho gets the front seat in the car,or what flavor of ice cream topick for the family at the grocerystore, can leave them in a badmood.

And of all the themes theycould have picked for their videoon promoting peace, they choseto bake brownies.

Their 30-second video aboutmaking peace and workingtogether won the youth categoryin the “Say Your Peace” videocontest, put on by PeacefulTomorrows, an organizationfounded by families of the vic-tims of the Sept. 11 terroristattacks. The Ginther sisters’video was one of just two win-ners, according to the organiza-tion.

“I had a really good feelingabout it,” said Katie.

Along with getting their videoposted on Peaceful Tomorrows’website, the girls also received$1,000, which they said they planto save for a vacation to Europeafter they are confirmed in the

Catholic Church at age 16.Katie noted the congratula-

tions and response from peoplearound the country on their

Facebook page.“It was like a frenzy of happi-

ness,” she said. Focused on finding little ways

to bring peace to the world, theshort video took about an hour tocreate, the girls and their mother,Anne Ginther, said. They had an

idea of what lessons to highlight,and since they were alreadygoing to bake brownies theevening of the contest deadline,Katie and Mary decided to havemom film the process.

The video’s goal was to showtwo people working toward acommon goal.

“It’s like you think of every-thing they teach you in schooland you learn about it your ownway,” Mary said about their ideaof working together.

The girls showed that “sharingis best” by one lending the othera container of sugar when shedidn’t have any. Illustrating areal-life area of contention forthem, Mary didn’t want caramelso Katie offered to just put it onher side of the pan.

“We can agree to disagree andstill get along,” Mary said in thevideo.

That was then. This is now.If we don’t know where we want to go,

any road will get us there!

Paid for by JesseBo4Sammamish

What do we want Sammamish to be in five years? In the middle of a bleak economic outlook, some are still talking about a Town Center plan that was begun in 2004, and adopted in 2010…in a very different, much stronger economy! Nearly 2 years later, no solid proposals have been received from developers, the plan hasn’t been updated, and virtually nothing has been built! Meanwhile, development is proceeding in Issaquah, Redmond, Snoqualmie, and other communities…!

Instead of finishing what was started, we’re entertaining new proposals for new facilities, and none of it is part of a coherent master plan for the future! We all want to keep Sammamish the same wonderful place we live today, that grows smartly to meet the needs of its citizens. However, what may have worked in the past is not working today. Plans cost money, but only actions create results!

Representing you on City Council, I will:

VOTE for JESSE BORNFREUND, City Council Position 6 on November 8.

• Keep our city fiscally sound through effective, efficient Council leadership and stewardship of our tax dollars.

• Develop parks, the Town Center, an affordable Community Center, the infrastructure and services we need for the future, with Smart Growth, protecting the environment while minimizing the burden on the taxpayers.

• Partner with the business community in ways that help minimize our tax exposure and maximize our business and job opportunities.

• Provide more opportunities for our city government to listen to our citizens, to understand our needs and concerns.

The contest stemmed from theorganization’s desire to “hear howindividual Americans think ournation can promote alternativesto war and to offer support to oth-ers seeking non-violent respons-es to all forms of conflict, hateand terrorism,” it said on its web-site. Anne Ginther and the girlsheard about the contest in Julyand found out they won on Sept.13. At first Anne, a youth groupleader at Mary, Queen of PeaceChurch, took the girls to a partystore to pick out party favors forwhat the girls thought were otherchildren in the youth group.Anne surprised them later withthe news, celebrating with bal-loons and goodies, she said.

“Even if we didn’t win, we’denjoy having our video up andhaving everybody see it,” saidMary.

In the end, Mary, Katie andAnne said the brownies, full ofcaramel and nuts, turned outwell. Visiting relatives have sinceasked for some “peaceful” brownies.

Even though the girls don’tlike nuts and Mary doesn’t likecaramel, “we’ve figured out a wayto make it work for everybody,”Anne said. “I have to agree theywere delicious.”

As leaders of the ChineseCultural Club at Skyline HighSchool, Kevin Li and Andrea Liunetworked and lobbied schooldistrict leaders for two years try-ing to get a Chinese courseoffered at school.

“It wasn’t as successful as wehad hoped,” Kevin said.

So, before their senior yearstarted, they jumped off andformed the WashingtonAssociation for ChineseEducation, an organization dedi-cated to promoting Chinese-lan-guage initiatives in schoolsaround Washington. And havingalready partnered with morethan a dozen China-relationsorganizations, the studentslaunched one of their first initia-tives. The “Why Learn Chinese”contest runs Oct. 1-31 and isopen to Washington students whoalready take Chinese or want tolearn the language.

“We thought asking the com-munity why it’s important wouldbe a good start,” Kevin said.

The association and its initia-tive to bring Washington studentsto the competitive edge of China-U.S. relations has received sup-port from many local leaders,including Gov. Chris Gregoire.The group’s website displays anofficial letter from the governor’soffice, too.

“China’s growing influence inthe global economy makes fluen-cy in Chinese of particular inter-

est to businesses here inWashington … To underscore thispoint, China was our number one

export market last year. This rela-tionship is strengthened whenwe make language and cultural

exchange a priority,” theGovernor’s letter said, “and Iapplaud WACE for its commit-ment to educating students aboutthe benefits of learning Chinese.For young people to recognizethe importance of languagecapacity, but also to exerciseleadership in promoting it is trulyinspiring.”

Despite the workload of run-ning the organization, studyingand applying to colleges, Andreaand Kevin seem the most enthu-siastic about the contest and thegroup’s drive to promote Chineseculture among fellow youth.

“I’ve seen the competitiveChinese culture and can see theenormous benefit and opportuni-ties there,” Andrea said. “In thefuture, we’re going to be the onesdoing business with China.”

In addition to the contest, thestudents’ organization tutors stu-dents in Chinese and SAT prepafter school and runs the Skylinecultural fair in the spring.

Lake Washington school prin-cipals and administrators shouldhave a new tool in hand by fall2012 that will help them moreeasily access, analyze and poten-tially improve individual stu-dents’ progress through the K-12system.

Administrators and consul-tants are still busy developing the“data dashboard” system, fundedby the 2010 technology levy,which aggregates the mountainof student test and grade-bookdata into one program.

But district leaders expect the‘dashboard,’ will enable them toidentify academically at-risk stu-dents more quickly and those onthe verge of needing help in anygiven subject.

And with the threat of poten-tial mid-year budget cuts in mindagain this year, the ‘dashboard’ideally will lead to more efficientplacement of subject-area special-ists assigned to help strugglingstudents, officials said.

“It’s a pretty involved process,”said Kathryn Reith, LakeWashington’s director of commu-nications.

Once online, it will not costusers anything to access.

The ‘dashboard’ stemmedfrom the school board’s requesttwo years ago to have easieraccess to district data.

The program produces dataabout each student and, after theboard gets a hold of it, will firstbe available to principals so theycan lead and train their teachersto use it.

District officials said theyhope to make the ‘dashboard’available to teachers by spring orfall 2013.

Using a set of performanceindicators, like reading compre-hension or math and science testresults, leaders can measure stu-dent progress against their pre-paredness for college.

There are five different status-es that a student can attain:advanced, on track, at risk, noton track, and not applicable.

The tool will also allow princi-pals and district officials to mea-sure performance at the schooland district levels.

For example, of the district’s1,762 current first-graders, 73percent of them meet or exceedstandard in all areas of literacybased on data from their 2010-2011 report cards.

But 19 percent of first-gradersare shown to need improvementor “intervention” in at least onearea of literacy.

One-hundred twenty-nine stu-dents do not have any datarecorded, according to a presenta-tion by Traci Pierce, deputysuperintendent of instructional

services. The ‘dashboard’ bringstogether all of this data into a sin-gle graph or chart for easier view-ing.

“It just gives them access to allthe data in the same format,” saidReith. “We have all the data, it’sjust to put it in a view to makesense of it.”

The ‘data dashboard’ is muchlike the state’s school report cardsystem, where anyone can viewgraphs representing test scoresper grade, per year from the HighSchool Proficiency Exam or theMeasure of Student Progress stan-dardized tests.

This helps school leaders rec-ognize what subjects need moreattention at the district or schoollevel, and leads to extra teachertraining in a particular curricu-lum.

But Chip Kimball, the LakeWashington district’s superinten-dent, and Traci Pierce, deputysuperintendent of instructionalservices, both were particularlyenthusiastic about the district’snew ability to see trends on a

per-school, and even individualstudent basis. Seeing things fromthat level, they said, will helpthem diagnose problem subjectareas among certain groups ofstudents at any given school.

“The exciting part is we’venever been able to do this type ofanalysis before,” Kimball said atthe Sept. 26 meeting. “We don’twant to make this a big-brother,club-me-over-the-head organiza-tion. The point is when you lookat a kid, their data comes withthem.”

The performance measuresare different at each grade level.An elementary school usesgrades, district assessments andstate assessments to determine astudent’s status.

At the middle and high schoollevels the measures include cur-rent and cumulative GPA, andother graduation requirements inaddition to grades and districtand state assessments.

District officials said there’s

‘Data dashboard’ could help schools help students“The exciting part is

we’ve never been able todo this type of analysis

before.”– Chip Kimball,

The grand prize is an iPad 2 orthe cash equivalent. Each run-ner-up will receive $250 and eachhonorable mention participantwill get $100.

Brian Mogg always finds away to get even. On the golfcourse, that is.

At the Sept. 27 cross-townmatch against the undefeatedEastlake Wolves, Skyline’s No. 1golfer birdied the ninth hole forthe third straight time to bring

his score to36.

“I reallywanted toget even,”said Mogg,a standoutsophomorewho haswon andplaced top-10 innumerousregionalyouth tour-naments. “Ijust try somuch hard-er.”

WhileMogg wasthe medal-ist at ThePlateauClub aftershootingan even 36on theback nine,Eastlakepulled offanotherwin to go8-0 on theseason.Despite No.1 Li Wang

tallying a 45, the Wolves man-aged to out-stroke Skyline 200-212.

Eastlake relied on low scoresfrom sophomore Spencer Weissand No. 10 golfer, freshmanColby Stirrat, both of whomscored a 3-over 39. They werethe only other two to finishunder 40.

Skyline was unable to placeanyone else in the top five, asEastlake’s Will Sharp compiled a40-stroke performance and RPMcCoy, Jack Fisher and PaulRusso all put up a 5-over 41.

Mogg kept things balancedfrom the beginning. He alter-nated pars and bogeys on thefirst four holes and then man-aged one par, one more bogeyand three birdies on the finalfive holes, he said.Acknowledging he had strug-gled a bit in the past few match-es, Mogg seemed quite happywith his putting and consistentdriving Sept. 27.

the next four finishers crossingthe line within 1:14 of each other.

“Anytime you can have a run-ner on the team like her … ittrickles to the whole team,”Anderson said.

Behind Kosykh, NicoleStinnett finished third overall(19:21), Morgan O’Connor placedfifth (20:07), Emily Dwyer tooksixth (20:08) and Olivia Palenscarfinished in 20:35.

“We really make each otherfeel stronger,” Kosykh said.

The Skyline girls came in sec-ond after its top five runnersclocked in 1:32 apart. SamKrahling took third overall atKlahanie with a time of 19:26.Caitlin Macillwain finished in20:37, Haley Smith ran a 20:51,Maria Fuller and Kathryn Steeleboth crossed the finish line in20:58.

In the boys competition,Skyline junior Keegan Symmescontinues his dominance inKingCo 4A. Against Eastlake andInglemoor, he finished in 15:41,46 seconds ahead of second-placefinisher Michael Flindt, ofEastlake.

“I just ran with the team,”Symmes said after the race.

Symmes and his coach,Brendan Hyland, said most run-ners took it a little easier atKlahanie Park, as both Eastlakeand Skyline were preparing forthe Tomahawk invite Oct. 1 inMarysville. Still, Symmes’ timewas near the course record.

“It’s coming together,” he said.“The season hasn’t been as fast asI’d like, but hopefully I’ll get bet-

ter later.”Symmes led the pack for

Skyline, but the Eastlake top fivemanaged the tightest spread ofthe day — 35 seconds. BehindSymmes, Spartans Brandan Longand Jay Bowlby finished in 16:38and 16:41, respectively. JoeyNakao crossed the finish line in16:46 and Jamon Rogers finishedin 16:48. For Eastlake, MichaelFlindt ran a 16:27, Mark Milloy a16:31, Kyle Suver a 16:42, JordanOldenburg in 16:43, and GrantFlindt in 16:52.

“(Symmes’) best running isahead of him,” said Skyline coachBrendan Hyland. “He’s onlygonna get better.”

As both the Eastlake girls andSkyline boys have a legitimateshot at making the state crosscountry meet, each squad seemsespecially focused on its mentalgame.

Anderson highlighted theimportance of not being nervousduring a race, as it negativelyaffects the body while running.That’s been the battle for theEastlake girls, he said, working tomake up for losing its top threesenior runners from 2010.

“The girls are looking strongright now. Some girls have reallystepped up. This season’s reallybeen about helping NicoleStinnett and Olivia Palenscar, justhelping them with race strategy,”Anderson said. “The guys arerunning well. But we’ve got a lotof work to do. We’ve just got tokeep running healthy.”

A proposed regulation thatcould render some Issaquah andLake Washington school districtproperties largely useless hasbeen kicked down the road.

King County’s GrowthManagement Planning Council,which handles regional growthpolicies, voted at their Sept. 21meeting to form a 32-person com-mittee featuring representativesfrom the affected school districtsand cities, mostly located in sub-urbs on the edge of the county’surban growth boundary.

The proposal would forbidextending sewer lines to serveschools in rural areas and pre-vent rural schools from servingstudents who live inside theurban growth boundaries.

Smart growth advocates saythe proposal would bring thecounty in line with the more

than 20-year-old GrowthManagement Act and cut downon suburban sprawl as develop-ment follows new schools.

City Councilman Mark Cross,Sammamish’s lone representativeon the planning council, says therule would handcuff suburbanschool districts that could not userural land they have already pur-chased for future schools. Boththe Lake Washington and

Issaquah school districts straddlethe urban growth boundary andown millions of dollars worth ofland that likely couldn’t be usedfor schools under the proposedrule.

Cross said he’s hopeful thecommittee could come upwith some sort of compro-mise for districts like LakeWashington and Issaquah,including possibly grandfa-thering in the properties theycurrently own.

“On top of the (financialstress) school districts are feeling,we’re putting on the extra stressof voiding their ability to use theproperties they already own,”Cross said. “In the interest … ofhaving a low carbon footprint,we’re creating more bussing andtransportation headaches.”

The committee is slated tomake a recommendation to theboard in early 2012.
