A few prominent Issaquah businesses are asking the city to rethink a business and occupa-tion tax increase included in Mayor Fred Butler’s 2015 budget proposal.

Representatives from Costco, Darigold and the Issaquah Cham-

ber of Commerce attended a Nov. 3 Issaquah City Council public hearing, where they offered simi-lar concerns about the effect an increased tax rate would have on the business community.

“The magnitude of a 150 percent increase over a two-year period, especially for a business with high gross sales but low profit margins, is aggressive. It’s very aggressive,” chamber CEO Matthew Bott said.

The proposal would increase B&O taxes for manufacturing, wholesale and retail companies

from 0.0008 to 0.0015 effective April 1, 2015, and 0.002 effective Jan. 1, 2017.

B&O taxes for printing/publish-ing, retail services and services/other would go from 0.001 to 0.0012 effective April 1, 2015.

Under the proposal, more than 30 percent of those who do business in Issaquah (with gross incomes of $100,000 or less) would be exempt, which creates tangible efficiencies, Butler told the council upon the budget’s introduction Oct. 6. The current exemption is set at $20,000.

“Meanwhile, larger companies would pay a higher rate for the first time since the tax was cre-ated in 2004,” Butler said.

The proposed increase will ac-count for the volatility of one of the city’s major revenue sources — sales and use taxes — which is heavily dependent on consum-er spending, he added.

Darigold tax director Sharon Appelt said the increase would have a significant impact on the company’s Issaquah facility, which makes cultured products such as cottage cheese and sour cream.

Appelt estimated that the Is-saquah plant’s B&O payments would nearly double, from $200,000 to about $400,000, un-der the proposed tax structure.

“Every little notch you take out of the margin puts that plant more at risk for its operations,” she said.

She asked the City Council to understand the impact the increase would have on local businesses and to consider some

Singer Brandi Carlile will join two Issaquah educators at a special event aimed at teaching high school girls self-defense and self-empowerment Nov. 13.

Empowering girls is a passion for the event organizers, Meg-gan Atkins, a Maywood Middle School teacher, and Karin Walen, an Issaquah High School teacher. The two offer self-defense classes at Issaquah and Liberty high schools.

They were inspired after at-tending Carlile’s Fight the Fear campaign kickoff in 2010. The program provides training in basic self-defense skills and offers resources to survivors of violence or abuse. Carlile’s goal is to make self-defense available to as many people as possible.

“We fully believe in what we are doing,” Walen said in a news release. “We love teaching the class. We get the opportunity to see the positive effects our class has on the girls.”

Carlile is expected to speak at the event, along with Jennifer Hopper, a survivor of a 2009 attack in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood.

“We were amazed by Jenni-fer’s bravery and resilience, and were inspired to help with the (Fight the Fear) program in any way we could,” Atkins said in an email.

At the free Nov. 13 event open to all Issaquah School District high school girls, attendees will receive self-defense training, as well as sexual assault awareness and prevention education.

It goes from 6-8 p.m. in the Issaquah High School theater, 700 Second Ave. S.E. Interested students should pick up forms at the front office of their high schools.

High school girls invited

to attend Fight the Fear

One would think that a cer-emony to honor a 97-year-old World War II veteran wouldn’t be a laughing matter, but it was filled with it.

The laughter started when Charles Runacres Jr. cut off some planned musical selec-tions less than halfway into the first song, “Anchors Aweigh.”

“I think that’s enough,” Runacres said matter-of-factly, bringing a burst of laughter from his family members who came to the ceremony.

The laughter continued a few minutes later when Runacres interrupted chap-lain Thomas Ortung, who was trying to thank him for his military service.

“Do I get to say a few words?” Runacres asked with a wave of his hand, and then talked at length about entering the service.

“You served three years and three months,” Doris Runacres said, interrupting her husband after he had been talking for a while.

“Yeah, and you’ve only got-ten through the first month,”

their daughter Randall Start said, to another eruption of laughter.

There were a few quiet and solemn moments, like the one that happened when Ortung thanked Runacres for his service and tacked a flag pin into the lapel of the dapper veteran’s suit jacket.

“…Thank you for the sacri-fices you made and your will-ingness to serve our country,” Ortung said. “You endured hardships and you were will-ing to risk your life to maintain our freedom.”

You could also hear a pin drop while Runacres held court in a dayroom in Briarwood, the nursing home at Timber Ridge,

A group of Liberty High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps students gave up a sunny Saturday to honor a 91-year-old World War II veteran on his birthday.

And they wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Emily Magley and Tina Kaiser learned how to properly fold

a flag into a triangle, and they practiced it multiple times before the ceremony where they pre-sented it to Gordon Schumacher. The Army sergeant built B-17s, fought in the Battle of the Bulge and was in the first group into Bergen Belsen, the last operating concentration camp in Germany.

By all outward appear-ances, Issaquah and its surroundings seem quite affluent.

Yet, there are still lines at the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank, and a steady stream of aid requests coming into local organizations.

The volunteers at Is-saquah Community Ser-vices know all too well the real need that exists in this community.

“Helping nearly 500 families get by every single year is the sole rea-son why we exist,” Lori Birrell, ICS board presi-dent, said.

Issaquah Community Services offers emergency financial aid to residents of the Issaquah School District in the form of utility payments, rent as-sistance and other mis-cellaneous contributions, depending on a client’s specific need.

Last year, the nonprofit organization helped 199 families avoid eviction and kept the lights and/or water on for an additional 187 families.

Issaquah Community Services is maintained by a group of volunteer citizens looking to give back to their community, Birrell said.

It’s rewarding, she said, to see a client’s face when the organization is able to help. But it’s also emotion-ally draining to see these

families at their worst.The need for support

has never been greater. Two veteran volunteers who have served for more than 20 years said at a Friday board meeting that they experienced the most heart-wrenching week they’ve ever faced, Birrell said.

“They said this last week was the hard-est week they have ever seen,” she said. “We are getting families coming that are so desperate, they have completely exhausted everything.”

Merry Christmas Is-saquah is the organiza-tion’s most important fundraiser all year. Orga-nizers set a $100,000 goal for 2014.

The fundraiser — spearheaded by The Issaquah Press since 1981 — set a record for the number of donors last year with 254, collecting nearly $86,000, surpass-ing the 2013 goal of $75,000.

Issaquah Community Services receives about 500 requests for emer-gency aid each year. The organization currently has an annual budget of just more than $100,000.

The nonprofit is main-tained by a team of vol-unteers, allowing nearly every penny donated to go directly to the families in need.

The Merry Christmas Is-saquah holiday fundraising drive accounts for about 80 percent of Issaquah Com-

munity Services’ annual budget.

The fund has received more than $875,000 in donations since its incep-tion.

to tell stories about his role in the war.

Runacres, born Sept. 17, 1917, entered the Navy from Stanford University. The valedictorian of his high school class had gone to work for two years be-fore going to college.

He was assigned to a new class of destroyer, designed to protect the fleet as it was deployed somewhere. There were about 20 ships in the fleet in which he served.

“The Japanese decided that was the worst thing for them,” Runacres recalled. “You could carry the battle 400 miles away and dis-tance didn’t mean a thing.”

Thankfully, his ship, the USS Wedderburn, didn’t suffer any casualties dur-ing the war.

“I felt that the hand of the Lord was on us during the battles,” he said.

He also lived through three typhoons on the ship, with waves that he esti-mated were 50 feet high.

“One of them sunk three destroyers,” he said, and then paused to think.

He saw another ship be blown up and the flames were 100 feet high, he said.

He was a supply officer and also was an assistant machine gunner in com-mand of a gun section. He laughed when asked about his best memory of his time in service.

“Termination,” he said, laughing some more, before adding a comment about the third and final

typhoon he experienced.“I thought, I suppose

we’ll get sunk, and I have my orders to go home,” he said with a chuckle. “But it didn’t happen that way.”

But Runacres is serious about how people treat vet-erans who have gone to war.

“What does it mean to lose a brother, or son or a father?” he asked. “How can you measure that?”

Doris and Charles didn’t know each other while he was in the service. They met later, and have been married for 65 years.

Military service seems to run in the family. Their daughter Randall was in the Army for four years. Her great-aunt was a WAC. Doris’ dad served in World War I.

Ortung, of Providence Hospice of Seattle, which or-ganized the ceremony, said

the pinning service is impor-tant to him. He has been a full-time hospice chaplain for about six years.

“It’s so good to be able to honor and affirm our vets,” Ortung said before pinning Runacres.

“In some instances, that can be the last thank you people hear, and for some, it’s the first thank you they’ve ever heard,” he said of the about a dozen military pinning ceremo-nies he has performed.

“I think you can’t do enough for the living vet-erans. We owe them a lot,” Runacres said, adding that the first thing that should be changed is their pay. “How much would you ask in peacetime if they would sell chances to shoot you one shot? The pay should equal the risk. That should be the first stop.”

Police are searching for a man who committed a home invasion robbery Nov. 9.

The man knocked on the door of a home in the 400 block of Newport Way Northwest at 9:30 p.m. and then forced his way in when the residents an-swered the door.

The man had a black handgun. While he began searching the home for valuables, the residents left and ran west on Newport

Way Northwest.The man briefly chased

them. When he stopped, they called 911 from a nearby home.

Issaquah police and a Redmond police dog searched the area, but did not locate the man.

The suspect is described as a black man in his 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a slender build, short hair and an accent. He wore a black jacket and black cargo pants.

To stay safe at home:• Do not allow strang-

ers inside, even if they say they are hurt or need help. Keep the door locked and call police.

• Don’t be afraid to call the police to investigate suspicious circumstances, unusual people or strange noises. If you see some-thing, say something.

• At night, keep out-door lights on, curtains or shades closed, and doors and windows locked.

• If you arrive home and your door is open or things appear to be out of place, don’t go inside. Leave im-mediately and call police from a safe place.

• Never give information to an unknown caller. Re-port nuisance calls to police and your service provider.

If you think you have information about the robbery, call the Issaquah Police Department at 837-3200 or the tip line at 837-3210.

Police search for home-invasion robber

Wars Post 3436, taught Magley and Kaiser how to present the flag and then to fold it so no red would show when it was done. The girls’ hands shook as they practiced the folding again and again.

But that nervousness was gone and they ap-peared skilled and poised when the time came to do the job. So did the rest of the NJROTC students — Dan LeCompte, Nicole Di Fazio, Evian Adams, Rob-ert LeCoque, Zach Teeters and Taeya Dammann.

Schumacher, who lived in Providence Point before moving to Brookdale in Federal Way, smiled wide

when he saw all of the peo-ple at his birthday party. He smiled even wider when he saw the teens come out of a room where they had been hidden and begin their color guard duties. The second he saw a uniform, he tried to struggle from his wheelchair to his feet.

“He will want to stand, because he thinks every-one should stand when they see people who have served,” his son Dale Schumacher said before his father was wheeled into the room.

Stand he did, with his sons Dale and Dean at his sides. And he remained standing through the presentation of the flag, sitting only after Waggoner handed it to him.

“Well, it’s good I got my flag now, before I died,” Gordon Schumacher said

with another wide smile.He chatted with the stu-

dents as they came to him after the ceremony, one by one shaking his hand and thanking him for his military service.

On a nearby table sat memorabilia he had brought back from Ger-many, including a Walther PPK, a steel helmet, Nazi armbands and a rock from the building where Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun com-mitted suicide.

Members of Schum-acher’s extended family crowded around the table to look at a book from his Army training class and the other items there — his dogtags, numerous med-als he earned (including a Bronze Star) and a shovel he used to dig foxholes.

“I’ve always wanted to see this stuff,” a teenage

granddaughter exclaimed.That same teen later

cried throughout the flag presentation. In all, there were five generations present for the birthday-party-turned-honor.

Gordon Schumacher was also given a quilt by Kathy Beach, from Quilts of Honor, a volunteer organization that makes and presents the blankets to veterans across the country. He covered his lap with it while watching Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks game on television.

The ceremony was organized after Gordon Schumacher’s Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., was canceled because he was not well enough to go.

Honor Flight takes veterans to memorials free of charge, and has been focusing on World War II veterans.

The city had proposed a 150 percent increase in the city’s B&O tax to add $1 million to the bud-get’s general fund for 2015. The increase was to be phased in over the next two years with the first phase to be implemented April 1.

Many businesses in the city felt the increase was too large, and representatives of three of those businesses — Darigold, Costco and Evergreen Ford/Lincoln — spoke at the Nov. 3 council meeting about the impact the increase would have on their businesses. Hearing the impact the proposed rates would have on just those three businesses, it became clear the majority of the $1 million increase in revenue would come from only a handful of local busi-nesses.

In the budget workshop the following evening, Councilwoman Mary Lou Pauly proposed reducing the B&O tax increase to just 50 percent based on the input from local business leaders. The entire council agreed after some discussion that the 50 percent increase would be more appropriate.

One council member, Joshua Schaer, said he wished the council could put the decision on the B&O tax increase off for a year to be able to consider it in more detail rather than ram it through with the 2015 budget.

While a 50 percent increase is better than a 150 per-cent increase, the larger question should be is whether an increase is necessary at all.

On average from 2012-2014, the general fund grew every year by 7.1 percent. The city is proposing a 6.7 per-cent increase in the general fund from 2014 for the 2015 budget, and claims the increase in the B&O tax is neces-sary to accomplish this. But recent history would suggest the general fund should grow organically at a higher rate if the 7.1 percent growth rate continues without the increase in the B&O tax.

Two revenue sources in the general fund, sales tax and building permit fees, have grown at 9 percent and 41.5 percent, respectively, from 2012-2014. Yet for some unexplained reason both of these revenue categories have been budgeted to experience no growth in 2015. If sales tax grows at 9 percent and building permit fees grew at just 20 percent in 2015, the city would have more than the $1 million increase in the general fund it seeks from the increase in the B&O tax.

The city may have valid reasons for projecting no growth in sales tax and building permit fees. But if growth from these revenue sources is likely, the council should grant Schaer’s wish and table the decision on an increase in B&O tax for at least a year.

Council considers B&O tax increase

Firearms

Passing more gun laws will not eliminate guns

The Oct. 29 press had a terrific column, by the managing editor, addressing guns.

Does anyone believe that the school shootings are the result of guns, and if more gun laws are passed it solves the problem or that the shooters know that the school personnel are not carrying guns and thus they can get their targets without any interference? In addition, anyone that hears any plans of a shooting, notify the authorities before it happens and not after it happens.

The anti-Second Amendment people seem to believe if laws are passed to strip gun ownership, then no shootings would happen. How do they keep guns out of the hands of those wanting to shoot people? As the saying goes “only the criminals will have guns and the law-abiding people will not have any.”

Folks, there are millions of firearms in the U.S. Making more gun laws will not eliminate the availability of guns. It will just un-arm the law-abiding citizens, desiring to protect themselves and family.

Kindness

People need to treat everyone with respect

I would like to tell the story of an incident that happened recently, in the hope that it will help to educate the public about autism and highlight the impor-tance of good manners.

My son is autistic and employed as a parcel clerk at Fred Meyer in Issaquah. He had just gotten to work on a Friday, was walk-ing around a corner to clock in and almost ran into a woman coming in the opposite direction. The woman said in a catty voice, “Well, excuse you!” and then went into the restroom. While my son was waiting to swipe his badge, the woman came out of the rest-room and started berating him for almost running into her.

Dealing with people is ex-tremely hard for individuals with

autism, and when they encounter rudeness it amplifies the diffi-culty exponentially. He obsessed over it his whole shift, which made it hard for him to focus on his duties. He hardly slept that night. He was afraid to go back to work the next morning, and I had to convince him he would be OK. He had a better day that next day.

Many individuals who do jobs like carry your groceries and return carts into the store, especially during the day when children are in school, have developmental disabilities like autism. It isn’t always immediate-ly apparent that they have social challenges.

In the six years my son has had his job, he has dramatically improved his social skills. When people are rude to him, however, it causes him to regress and lose confidence in himself.

Please show more respect for these workers. It’s OK to politely remind them to watch where they’re going; it’s not OK to treat them with such disrespect. Mind your manners.

Opinion

Really look at the issues and the candidates

Two items that tie together, The Press Editorial and the let-ter supporting Tana Senn. First, congratulations to The Issaquah Press for identifying the true beneficiaries of Initiative 1351 and the sensible reason to vote against this initiative, and the continued emotional use of “the children” as beneficiaries, when the real beneficiary is always the union adults.

This brings me to the Tana Senn endorsement, which also uses the smokescreen of “fully funded education” in a similar fashion to benefit the union. As the editorial states, the real goal is the creation of a state income tax, which public employee unions and Democrats have tried for decades to institute.

The letter also chose to throw in that Ms. Senn has a master’s in public administration, as if this is some great reason to elect her. I also have a master’s in public administration, and economics,

so I would think she should un-derstand the consequences of her promises. I would question her hidden agenda.

In conclusion, I realize this will only show up post-election, but hopefully it will encourage some voters in the future to look a little deeper into candidates and issues instead of just using emotion to vote.

Issaquah-Hobart Road parking cannot be added

Paul Beckman, your comments are well-placed (letter about safety work on Issaquah-Hobart Road in Oct. 22 issue), but the county has already increased the size of the parking lot.

On the east side of 113th, park-ing cannot be increased because of Gleason Creek on the north, and to the south are wetlands.

In 1998, the county relocated Gleason Creek so that it now runs southwest on the west side of 113th through an open space area, precluding adding parking to this area.

Local kids will have a better start in life because of the gener-osity of the event donors, and the new toys from the Toys for Kids foundation will fill birthday bags for months to come.

We truly cannot meet our mission of providing the basic necessities for children birth to age 12 in King County without our community coming together and supporting us.

Thank you to everyone that made this possible!

Well, we’ve sur-vived another election season. Now we just have to next endure

the consequences of the choices made with the vote.

But now that it’s over, I’ve re-alized I kind of liked having the power of making some pretty important choices. Which got me to thinking — what other areas of life would be better if we had a vote to determine the outcome? Here are a few of my ideas.

Murder mysteryRemember those “choose-

your-own-adventure” books we read as kids? Well, similarly, Village Theatre once produced the musical “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” based on an unfinished Charles Dickens novel. Imagine that — a murder mystery where it was never revealed who actually did it. So, in the musical production, just before the big reveal, the audi-ence actually gets to vote and one of several possible endings is then acted out. Genius. And fun for return performances. I’d love to see more productions where the audience gets to vote on the outcome.

Denny’s demiseRecently, the Denny’s on Gil-

man Boulevard closed. While we lament the demise of the

great Ameri-can meal, we should be able to vote on what takes its place. Should Denny’s cor-porate give it another try? Do we want another restaurant? Something else? Let’s vote to let the devel-oper know what residents really want next.

Save the mascotI’m pretty certain the com-

munity did not cherish the demise of the Issaquah High School Indian mascot. Sure, everyone was given the oppor-tunity to voice an opinion one way or the other, but an actual vote seemed to be taken out of the equation. Although, a vote was allowed on the Indian’s replacement, would it have re-sulted with the most overused mascot name in the state — Eagle — if a vote were taken in the first place of whether “Indian” was truly an offensive moniker? It seems like it was too big an issue to let a select few board members make the

What else deserves a vote of the people?

Windy looked out the window. A great day for helping. Windy Wilson sets one day aside each week for helping others, you see, and this was helping day.

Mrs. Morris, he thought, check-ing on the calendar. Yes, Mrs. Morris’ poor ol’ shed that’s lean-ing dangerously to one side.

“I can just whup over there today and see that gets fixated,” Windy said, smiling. “By dark, she’ll have a perp-up-and-dicular shed she can be proud of.”

Windy talks like that. A lot.Armed with enough tools to

recreate the city of Troy, Windy arrived at Mrs. Morris’ house and set to work. He rigged a come-

along to a tree and used it to straighten the shed. Then, while he had it straight up, he attacked it with bracing.

Mrs. Morris brought him coffee a couple of times, and later had him in for lunch. Mr. Morris had passed away several years ago, and some of these bigger chores were beyond her abilities.

Windy hadn’t asked Mrs. Mor-ris about fixing the shed, because that’s part of the fun for him. You just show up and do it. Do it until it’s done. Do it right. Fortunately, Windy has always been pretty handy with tools.

By three o’clock, that shed

was up and braced, and several loose boards had been nailed back in their homes again. He brought the can of paint out of his truck and started painting it the same light green it had always been.

Inside the house, Mrs. Morris looked out upon the wonder of a reconditioned shed in her back yard. She picked up the phone.

“Mr. Johnson? This is Mrs. Morris. That’s right. Look, I know I’d asked you to take down my old shed, but I’ve changed my mind. No, I don’t think the old shed will fall on anyone. Thanks so much anyway.”

Nothing like a good helping day, Windy thought, rinsing out his paint brush and dancing a little jig carrying the tools back to his pickup. Nothing like it.

Coat and shoe drive continues all month

A warm coat and sturdy shoes are something many people in Issaquah are lacking.

Coats and shoes wear

out or are outgrown and families often turn to the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank for a newer pair. Do-nations of coats and shoes are desperately needed as the days turn colder and wetter.

The Kiwanis Club of Issaquah has launched its annual Coat & Shoe Drive this month, hoping to gather at least 500 warm coats and as many pairs of shoes, for all sizes and ages.

Shoes should be bound or bagged as a pair. Coats should be new or gently used and clean.

ParentMap hosts ‘Glee’ actress at special-needs event

By David Hayesdhayes@isspress.com

Steve Osmond really likes root beer, and Seattle Children’s will be the ben-eficiary of his passion. It all started over the summer with a T-shirt.

The 54-year-old British citizen’s jones for the juice is especially legendary among fellow motor heads, even those here in the U.S.

The Triple XXX Root-beer Drive-in is especially renowned for its root beer — the Coca-Cola Co. makes a specific brew for the Issaquah restaurant that can’t be found anywhere else.

Luckily for Osmond, a ve-hicle examiner in Minster-on-sea and Sheerness, towns in Kent, England, he had an inside connection to the Triple XXX’s brew — Gary Estes. Estes is a regu-lar at the restaurant’s car shows and also a member of the Hancock and Lane Stock and Comp Eliminator

team from Seattle, whom Osmond has known since 1988.

“Estes, a regular at The Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in presented me with a XXX Root Beer T-shirt,” Osmond wrote in an email. “They (Gary and restaurant owner José Enciso) wanted me to wear this thing at famous places in London and send them back photos of myself wearing it.”

Osmond decided to take the offer to an unexpected level. He brought the shirt with him in July to Lord March’s estate in West Sussex for the Goodwood Festival Of Speed Week, where he has been an in-vited media member since 2006.

“There is nothing like this event anywhere in the world that it could be compared to. It’s a petrol head’s dream,” Osmond said.

The second annual Gil-man Village Wine Walk is from 6-9 p.m. Nov. 20.

Enjoy the live music of the Dave Card Trio, snacks and local boutique wines poured in various tasting locations at Gilman Village retail shops. Tickets to this event are $25 in advance or $30 the day of the event.

New this year is a local author meet and greet at various merchant loca-tions throughout the vil-lage. The Writers Cottage, home of the Pacific North-west Writers Association is partnering with Barnes & Noble, which will sell signed copies of each au-thor’s work.

While there, receive a raffle ticket for each $20 purchase made at any participating store during the event. The more you purchase, the more chanc-es to win one of six product collections from the Gilman Village merchants. Raffle prizes will be on display at registration.

The wineries participating in the Wine Walk are Torii Mor Winery, Sigillo Cellars, Genoa Cellars, Cedar River Cellars, Laurelhurst Cellars, Tiger Mountain Winery, Dubindil, Sol Stone Winery, Davenport Cellars, Ginko Forest Winery, Michael Florentino Cellars and Van Camp Cellars.

Gilman Village Wine Walk venues are The Farmhouse School, The White Board, Recology CleanScapes, Sub-urban Soul, Pinto Portraits, Serenity, Studio Den, The Writer’s Cottage, Phoenix Art Restoration, Splendid Avenue, BRAS Thermagra-phy, Love Bamboo, Lucky You, Lucky You Home, Kitchen Cupboard and White Horse Toys.

Tickets are available at http://bit.ly/1D8pg7Q and include 10 one-ounce drink tokens. You must be 21 to purchase wine-tasting tickets.

Check-in starts at 6 p.m. at The Farmhouse School, 317 N.W. Gilman, Suite 41.

Maps of tasting locations, a compostable wine glass, tokens and wristband will be provided at check-in. People are welcome to bring their own glass.

Gilman Village on Nov. 20

The Skyline High School drama department opens its 2014-15 season this week with performances of “Noises Off,” an ener-getic and humorous farce from English playwright Michael Frayn.

Show times are at 7 p.m. Nov. 12-14, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Nov. 15. at Skyline’s Lyceum’s Theatre, 1122 228th Ave. S.E. General-admission tickets are $8; Skyline students and staff tickets

are $4. Tickets are avail-able at the door only with cash or check pay-ments.

The performance is a play within a play, and follows the twists and turns of the actors in the

fictional “Nothing On.” The play premiered in London in 1982, and quickly gained popular-ity before premiering on Broadway in 1983. It was later translated to a hit film adaptation starring

Michael Cain and John Ritter.

The comedic produc-tion presented challenges for Skyline’s drama team, including the construction of a two-story revolving set.

It features top drivers from the racing worlds of Formula One, Indy, Rally, Lemans and NASCAR, just to name a few. So, in between his assigned du-ties, Osmond hit up 18 of the biggest names in their sports to sign his Triple XXX T-shirt. The list is a who’s who of the racing world:4Richard Petty — NAS-

CAR4Dario Franchitti —

Indycar4Max Papis — Indycar4Emerson Fittipaldi —

Indycar and F14Kenny Brack — Indy-

car4Al Unser — Indycar4Mike Skinner — NAS-

CAR4Kerry Earnhardt —

— the only driver to ever win multiple motorcycle championships and an F1 Championship 4Paul Stewart (British)

— son of Jacky Stewart, three-time F1 champion4Stirling Moss — fa-

mous for winning the most old-timer race events and losing F1 by just one point, a very popular British hero4Terry Grant (British) —

Arena stunt driver

4Jacky Oliver (Brit-ish) — Lemans winner and former F1 driver4Emanuele Pirro (Ital-

ian) — Former F1 driver and five-time Lemans champion4Karun Chandhok

(Spanish) — Former long-time F1 driver4Win Percy (British)

Former touring champion and Australian Bathurst winner4Sam Bird (British) —

F1 test driverOsmond said he

dropped a hint to organiz-ers that the idea was for charity and he was in like Flynn.

“I got special treatment because of the cause. They are quite good at times with things like this,” he said. “It was fun, and every person I asked was really happy to help.”

Armed now with quite

the unique piece of memo-rabilia, Osmond didn’t want to just mail it back to Estes and Enciso. So, in September, he boarded a plane and hopped the pond, and the whole conti-nent, for an in-person visit to the Triple XXX.

“José and Gary were knocked away with what I had achieved,” Osmond said. “It was a blast and a privilege to do this for a good cause. But it was quite a responsibility look-ing after the T-shirt, a big worry!”

Enciso plans to keep the shirt safely stored until April when he plans to auction it at a meeting of the Hot Rod Hall of Fame, an event that usually at-tracts between 600 and 800 members.

“I have no idea how much it will go for,” Enciso said. “Something as amaz-ing as this unique T-shirt should definitely interest all these drivers. Hopefully, it’ll raise in the thou-sands.”

John Walter BonomiJohn

Walter Bonomi was born Jan. 9, 1951, in Renton, and died Nov. 1, 2014, in Fair-banks, Alaska.

John was the oldest of three sons born to Wal-ter Bonomi and Sandra Croppi Bonomi. Growing up on a dairy farm in Issaquah, he acquired lifelong passions for fishing, hunting, music and gardening. He loved the outdoors and espe-cially enjoyed mushroom picking alongside his mother.

At an early age, John trained on the accordion, was schooled by re-nowned accordionist Stan Boreson and later played alongside notable enter-tainer Al Yankovic. He graduated from Issaquah High School in 1969. In the early ’70s, after at-tending Central Washing-ton College in Ellensburg, he ventured north to Alaska seeking out an oil pipeline job. After finding his way to Fairbanks, he instead found work in a local restaurant and discovered how much he enjoyed entertaining

audiences with his accor-dion music.

Later in life, John produced and recorded many of his favorite songs from past perfor-mances. Several years later, John returned to Issaquah, where he met and married Carol Moose, the mother of his son John Bonomi Jr. born in 1979. John raised his boy in Issaquah so he could experience life on the family farm and nourish in him the same love of nature he cher-ished.

In 2009, John met his future wife Sheryl Ann “Sheri” Olson while performing at a local senior center where she was employed. They were married the same year and moved to Fairbanks. John was extremely proud of his Italian heri-tage and enjoyed shar-ing the Bonomi family story, which spanned two continents and led to ac-quiring their farm on the Issaquah Hobart Road in 1908.

John was preceded in death by his father Walter Joseph Bonomi in 1982.

He is survived by his wife Sheri; son John Jr.; mother Sandra; two brothers, Angelo and Walter; nephew Dominic Bonomi; niece Regina Bonomi Teets; and many uncles, aunts and cousins.

Friends of Youth to host Rise and Thrive Breakfast

An organization that’s been helping young people in challenging circumstances get their lives back on track since 1951 will host a Nov. 12 breakfast in support of Issaquah schools.

Friends of Youth’s Rise and Thrive Breakfast is from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Nov. 12 at Pickering Barn, 1730 10th Ave. N.W.

In its second year, the breakfasts in three differ-ent school district com-munities raise behavioral health awareness and “raise funds to ensure that those services are available as much as possible within the school day,” CEO and President Terry Pottmeyer said.

Onsite counselors offer a support system or a sounding board for students struggling with everything from chemical dependency to grief. They assist with behavioral health issues, so children can focus on their education with clear minds.

final “vote,” the outcome of which seemed pretty predetermined when the controversy first reared its ugly head.

A bypass of the processTraffic flow through

certain corridors of this town is a mess. No choke point better illustrates this than in- and outbound traffic at the south end of Front Street. For years, the concept of a bypass was debated ad nauseam be-fore the idea was finally abandoned by the City Council.

Millions of dollars were spent studying the best route traffic could take around downtown Issaquah. City Council members were seemingly

elected or voted out of of-fice based on where they stood on the issue.

But never was the issue taken before the voters with a simple question — should the city find an alternative route for traf-fic to unclog commuter traffic on Front Street? With a definitive measure of the pulse of the com-munity, direct action or moving on to other im-portant topics could have taken place much sooner with a smaller impact to the city’s budget.

Of course, if the vot-ers checked yes, they’d then have to live with the further questions of fund-ing and environmental impact.

But that’s part of the excitement of living with unintended conse-quences when you vote on controversial topics. Remember that the next time you cast your real ballot.

The last 18 Lombardi poplar trees at Veterans’ Memorial Field were delimbed Oct. 14 in preparation for their removal and replacement. What was once a windbreak of 30 poplars, between 40 and 50 years old and averaging 80 feet tall, had become old, unhealthy and potentially dangerous, according to City Arborist Alan Haywood. They are the same variety that was removed and replaced in recent years at Front Street North and Gilman Boulevard. Columnar tulip, or ‘liliodendron,’ trees will be planted in November. The city, because it is a Tree City USA, was eligible for a grant of $5,000 for the new trees from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.

Class of 2014 earns high ACT scores

American College Testing College Readiness exam scores released recently show Washington’s 12th-grade students from the class of 2014 achieving the seventh-highest composite score in the nation.

In the Issaquah School District, students showed an even higher level of college preparedness. The district’s composite score of 26.6 is 3.6 points higher than Washington state’s 23 and 5.6 points higher than the nation’s 21. Addi-tionally, Issaquah district seniors have consistently scored two to three points higher than the state on the exam for the past five years.

“We are fortunate to live in a community with fami-lies that place a high value on education and partici-pation in their children’s education”, Superintendent Ron Thiele said in a news release. “These results are evidence that students in the Issaquah School District are among the highest per-forming in the nation and are graduating ready for college.”

The ACT is an annual exam used for admission into colleges and universi-ties. Learn more, including reports on state and na-tional scores, at www.act.org/newsroom/data/2014/index.html.

Recruit firefighters join EFRFive firefighters have

been hired by Eastside Fire & Rescue to fill vacancies that exist or will happen by year’s end.

“This bunch is quite diverse, very talented and certainly motivated, so we could not be happier,” Fire Chief Lee Soptich said in a news release.

The five include a couple of military veterans, an ex-perienced firefighter from a neighboring district, a former EFR volunteer and an owner of her own white-water rafting company.

“We have some people new to the industry, some have kids, all have EMT certificates, two are former business executives, well-educated recruits, and a very nice blend of life expe-riences,” Soptich said.

The recruits will com-plete initial training in November. After a few shifts as the fourth person on a crew, the firefight-ers will take their place as members of a three-person company at one of the nine staffed stations in the EFR system. A three-year state-accredited apprenticeship program will guide them to an eventual journeyman status.

EFR employs 117 profes-sional firefighters, 60 vol-unteer responders, 24 full-time staff, two part-time employees, four volunteer chaplains and 10 support service volunteers.

Learn about toxic chemicals in products from state database

Lab results revealing

levels of toxic chemicals in consumer products sold in Washington are now available through an online database at http://1.usa.gov/1rOF4N0.

The database includes test results for children’s and baby’s items, clothing, personal care items, toys, children’s upholstered furniture, and electri-cal and electronic items. Information about more product types such as of-fice and art supplies will be added.

Tests show most manu-facturers are following laws regulating the use of toxic chemicals.

The state Department of Ecology tests products to understand where and why toxic chemicals are used, with the goal of working with businesses and green chemists to find safer alternatives, and to verify manufacturers are follow-ing state laws.

County gets $6 million grant to improve Hepatitis C treatment

King County health care providers will be better able to identify and suc-cessfully treat people with chronic Hepatitis C virus thanks to a $6 million grant awarded to Public Health – Seattle & King County.

The four-year grant from the federal Health and Hu-man Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will improve testing, treatment and cure of people with chronic HCV infection.

The grant will fund the Hepatitis C Test & Cure Project, which will provide training for clinicians on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of HCV and connect them to special-ists. It will also enhance the ability to track patients through better integration of clinical and public health data systems. As a result, it will be easier to detect those patients who have fallen out of treatment and help them get back on track.

Mike Smith’s Liberty High School cross-country team wasn’t taking any chances.

After consecutive state meet appearances where something always went wrong on the day of the race, particularly for the girls, the Patriots’ supersti-tions were on high alert Nov. 8 at Pasco’s Sun Wil-lows Golf Course.

“We were doing all the jinxy things,” Smith said. “We made sure not to stand on the podium the day before, and made sure that all laces were tied eight times. We were totally superstitious at this meet.”

It seemed to pay off, because, for the most part, everything went right for Liberty on a history-mak-ing day at the state cross-country championship.

Both boys and girls teams took home the first state trophies in program history, each placing third overall at the 2A level.

GirlsThe Liberty girls cross-

country team is a small group, consisting of no more than a dozen run-ners, Smith estimated.

As a result, so much of Smith’s focus is upon keep-ing his team injury-free through a long season.

The team was already at a disadvantage to begin with, as top-returning runner Brigette Takeuchi, a sophomore, was out the majority of the season with an injury, while twin sister Kelsey battled through nagging injuries all the way through the state meet.

That all led to what Smith called a conservative regular season, with an eye toward gearing up for a healthy state meet.

“Our goal was to not get

sick or injured to the point where you couldn’t race,” he said.

Under perfect racing conditions, many of Smith’s girls ran career races at the Nov. 8 2A state cham-pionship.

Junior Tyra Christopher-son led the pack, finishing the 3.1-mile course in a lifetime best, 19 minutes, 33.46 seconds, good for 16th overall.

Teammate Carlyn Schmidgall, a junior, had her best time of the season, crossing the finish line in

19:35.20 for 18th overall.Senior Sarah Bliesner

(19th overall, 19:37.55), junior Anna Malesis (42nd overall, 20:18.83), sopho-more Kelsey Takeuchi (49th overall, 20:22.59), sophomore Samantha Kelderman (68th overall, 20:43.24) and senior Syd-ney Hopper (123rd overall, 22:17.81) rounded out the pack.

The 2014 Issaquah girls cross-country team was special.

So special, in fact, that longtime head coach Gwen Robertson had to go all the way back to the ‘80s to find a comparable Eagle squad.

Even then, she said, the 2014 team stood out among the rest.

“This arguably is the best team in school his-tory, not by a lot, but by about 4 seconds average time,” she said upon re-viewing past team times.

This Eagles squad cul-minated a magical season with a second-place finish in the 4A state cross-coun-try championship Nov. 8 at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course.

Senior Cayla Seligman was Issaquah’s top finish-er, bouncing back from a stress fracture that wiped out her 2013 season, to place 12th overall, cross-ing the finish line in 18 minutes, 24.28 seconds.

“A year ago, I was in-jured and didn’t race at all during the cross country season, so to be able to be healthy and have such a talented group of girls to run with has been such a blessing,” Seligman said.

Standout Issaquah freshmen Sami Corman (13th overall, 18:28.87)

and Kenna Clawson (19th overall, 18:35.18) finished right behind her.

Corman and Clawson are the best freshmen in school history, Robert-son said, which certainly bodes well for Issaquah’s future.

“They’re gamers,” Rob-ertson said. “For them to run as fast as they did is a real tribute to their learn-ing how to run that far in a short amount of time and doing all the right work.”

Seniors Ellie Clawson (33rd overall, 19:11.76), Larissa Kolasinski (53rd overall, 19:34.05), Abby Wilson (98th overall, 20:22.75) and Ellie Hen-drickson (131st overall, 21:39.33) rounded out the rest of the Issaquah finishers.

This year’s team, led by Ellie Clawson and Selig-man, had some of the best leadership she has ever seen, Robertson said.

“They were tremendous leaders throughout the summer and season,” she said. “We haven’t ever had that kind of leadership. That, you have to attribute to those kids being ready to make it a really great year.”

The Eagles were confi-dent coming into the state meet, Seligman said, and they had every right to be after winning KingCo for the first time since 1993,

and then districts for the first time since 1989.

To put that in perspec-tive, the last time Issaquah took second at the state meet — 1989 — none of the team’s current athletes had yet been born.

“I think, personally, we expected to do well because we have been performing consistently all season and state is just another meet,” Seligman said. “Although there was a bit more pressure for this meet, I think we handled it well and ran the best that we could on Saturday.”

The 2014 team’s chemistry was something special, both Seligman and Robertson acknowledged.

“The whole attitude of this year’s team was that we wanted to race well every single time we raced and show everyone what we were made of,” Selig-man said. “I think we have accomplished everything that we could this season and I am so proud of us all.”

On the boys side, the Eagles sent three runners to the 4A state cross-coun-try championship. Junior Kennan Schrag (17th overall, 15:51.11) was the top Issaquah finisher, followed by freshman Luke George (46th overall, 16:20.43) and junior Jacob Brueckman (79th overall, 16:42.56).

The Issaquah Reds won the Field of Champions 11U fall baseball league championship Oct. 20 with a come-from-behind, 8-6 win, scoring five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull ahead and capture the title.

When Callie Wesson arrived at Skyline High School prior to the 2011 season, her goal was to build the volleyball program into a perennial power.

There are plenty of signs to indicate Wesson has accomplished that goal. The Spartans clinched their fourth straight trip to the Class 4A state tourna-ment, beating rival East-lake 3-1 in the champion-ship match of the KingCo Conference tournament Nov. 6 at Skyline.

“This feeling definitely does not get old,” Wesson said. “I mean, it’s one of those things where we’re starting to build a legacy here, and sort of build a standard where the expec-tation is going to state.

“And that means you need to work hard, because it’s not going to be easy, and all of these girls have stepped up to the challenge, starting their freshman year. It’s paying off for this group of seniors. It’s amazing.”

Skyline (17-1) heads into the state tournament in Lacey on a 13-match

winning streak. The Spartans open the event at 3:15 p.m. Nov. 14 against Olympia.

Eastlake, meanwhile, saw its season end Nov. 8 with a heartbreaking loss to Newport. The Wolves had a 2-0 lead, but lost the final three sets, ending their season with a 12-6 record.

Skyline outside hitter Chloe Epker, one of the team’s nine seniors and the conference’s co-MVP, had a dominating perfor-mance to help overcome a scrappy Eastlake squad. She finished with 27 kills

and 16 digs.Epker said it felt great

to continue the run of state-tournament appear-ances under Wesson.

“It’s a huge victory and accomplishment,” she said. “We have a really strong program, and we also have a lot of really strong incoming freshmen, so I think our program will continue to be really strong for probably the next four years.”

A change to the 2A clas-sification is certainly look-ing good for Liberty High School sports, as nearly all teams are in the hunt for state recognition.

While the football, ten-nis, golf and cross-country teams have wrapped up the 2014 season, the girls soccer, swim and volleyball squads are still in the hunt.

The defending 3A state champion girls soccer team

is making its first foray into the 2A playoffs, and for the most part, it’s been business as usual for the Patriots.

Liberty cruised through the district tournament last week, defeating Franklin Pierce and North Kitsap to win the District 2/3 2A championship and advance to state.

The Patriots will now host Sehome at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12 in the first round of the state playoffs. If Liberty wins, it’ll host the

winner of the Black Hills/Shorecrest matchup Nov. 15. The state semifinals are Nov. 21, while the finals are Nov. 22; both are at Shoreline Stadium.

The Liberty volleyball team is also headed to state. The Patriots, led by KingCo Most Valu-able Player Shea O’Brien, punched their ticket with a second-place finish at last week’s District 2/3 2A

and really ran hard, so I was really proud of them,” Smith said.

The girls team was ranked second in 2A for much of the year, Smith said, so the team was just a bit disappointed with the third-place finish. Overall, though, after years of nar-rowly missing the podium, it felt good to hoist the trophy, he said.

“It was really exciting for them to finally get to that point where it was recog-nized at the state level,” he said. “There were a lot of happy smiles, really no regrets of how they did.”

BoysComing into the state

meet, Smith said he knew what to expect from his top two runners, Andrew Coo-per and Trevor Sytsma.

It would take big perfor-mances from the rest of the

pack, though, to make sure the boys found the podium, he said. The pack certainly delivered Nov. 8.

“They all really stepped up,” Smith said. “They were just racing as hard as they could to the finish line and once I saw that, I knew we had a pretty good chance at a trophy.”

The Patriots took third place, led by Cooper (13th overall, 16:14.62) and Sytsma (27th overall, 16:30.47).

Liberty juniors Sean Szymanski (60th overall, 17:06.05) and Nicholas Siegfried (69th overall, 17:13.03) each had lifetime bests.

Sophomore Jake Knoblich (61st overall, 17:06.23), junior Jef-frey Broska (76th over-all, 17:20.63) and junior Michael Daly (92nd overall, 17:38.85) rounded out the pack.

The state appearance was just the second in the history of the Liberty boys cross-country program. They first made it as a

team last year.“It was a pretty good

season,” Smith said of the boys. “We may have run a little faster last year, but every year is a new year.”

Has GERD soured you on pills?

For some, medication isn’t enough.

Over-the-counter and prescription heartburn and reflux medications are effective for many people, but for some people with chronic gastroesophageal reflux, or GERD, medications can be a bitter pill to swallow when they no longer effectively treat symptoms. If your symptoms aren’t being controlled or are getting worse, it may be time to consider advanced treatment.

two Audrey Wate aces to build a 9-2 lead. East-lake closed to within four points, but Epker had three kills to polish off the win.

“Our game plan was just to stay really steady with our energy the entire time,” Epker said. “Eastlake has a lot of energy … so we just wanted to remain constant on our side of the court, and control our energy and what we can do.”

Epker killed off four straight points — 10 in all — in the second set as Skyline held off a late rally to win 25-22 and take a 2-0 lead.

But the third-seeded Wolves refused to go qui-etly. Senior outside hitter Jordan Dahl led the come-back effort, collecting six

of her team-high 19 kills in the third set as Eastlake won, 25-21.

“I think we came out a little scared in the first two sets,” Dahl said. “But we wanted to win, and we’re going to do everything in our power to do that. So we weren’t going to let those two sets slow us down.”

An already intense match ratcheted up an-other notch in the fourth set. The teams exchanged leads six times and contest-ed several lengthy points. Dahl slammed down two kills that trimmed the Spartans’ lead to 22-20.

But Skyline got the final three points to win — kills from freshman Carly Werner and Epker, and an ace from Kathleen Bui on match point.

Both teams stuffed the stat sheet with strong performances. Eastlake setters Sarah Burrington and Caroline DeStefano

combined for 45 assists. The Wolves had 99 digs, including 33 from Dahl and 27 from Ally Crinklaw. Ellie Woerner added 11 kills and four blocks.

“Skyline’s a great team,” Dahl said. “We know that they rely heavily on their outsides, so we knew we’ve got to be able to get a big block up there and just be able to dig them. We prac-ticed hitting different shots.”

Skyline setters Katy Valencia and Meghan Wedeking had 43 assists between them, and five Spartans finished with double-digit digs.

“Kathleen Bui had 26 digs. Audrey (Wate) had 19,” Wesson said. “And it’s just kind of one of those things — you know that these kids are going to be in their spots and they’re going to be great defensive players for you, to give you opportunities to be able to terminate the ball.”

alternatives.Art Jackson, Costco’s

vice president of general administration, acknowl-edged the company’s “corporate responsibility” to contribute its fair share of taxes, but urged the council to perform a more comprehensive analysis of all revenue streams to determine whether the increase was really neces-sary.

“We operate on very thin margins and the proposed tax increase would have

a significant impact on the profitability of our Is-saquah warehouse loca-tion,” he said.

Jackson suggested a reduced and delayed increase, and urged that it be distributed fairly across all businesses.

After hearing feedback from the business commu-nity, it appears likely that changes are coming to the B&O tax proposal based on discussion at the Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 Council Com-mittee Work Sessions.

The City Council found virtual consensus on what it was calling a “50-50” pro-posal, in which a 50-per-cent tax increase would be passed equally to all.

Under the 50-50 plan, the B&O tax rate for manu-facturing, wholesale and retail companies would go from 0.0008 to 0.0012.

B&O taxes for printing/publishing, retail services and services/other would go from 0.001 to 0.0015.

Nothing is finalized until the council officially adopts the 2015 budget, expected to happen at the 7 p.m. Nov. 17 regular meeting. That meeting is also resi-dents’ last opportunity to comment on the budget at the final public hearing.

If the council does not adopt the budget Nov. 17, it will do so Dec. 1. View the full budget at http://goo.gl/zvZxwj.

Renowned doctors, expert nursing teams, and the latest

technology to back them up, are just some of the reasons

Swedish delivers “extraordinary care.” But there’s another

side to being extraordinary that’s just as important.

It’s a way of being treated that makes you feel like someone

truly cares. Because, at Swedish, someone does.
