High school senior Sydney Weber had her moment in the spotlight last fall when she served as Homecoming Princess at Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish. � e Issaquah student will return to center stage for the Perspectives on Autism event from 4-8 p.m. April 26 at the high school.

Weber, 18, knows � rst-hand about the challenges students with autism face when they try to blend in with the crowd. Ac-cording to her mother, Weber transferred

from public school to Eastside Catholic to be part of the Options Program.

“Having peer tutors helps me with my schoolwork,” said Weber. “� ey have be-come my friends. I think that God wanted me to go to EC and that’s why I’m here.”

Mat Maximo is a 17-year-old junior from Sammamish who has learned valuable les-sons in life from sharing a classroom with students on the spectrum.

“� e Options Program has given me a

realistic perspective,” he explained. “I’ve learned not to be judgmental of others. It’s kind of cool to see how students can come together to support all of the other kids at our school."

� e Options program at Eastside Catholic can accommodate as many as 20 students, according to Charlene Kletzly, the director of admissions at the school. � ere are eight students enrolled in the national-ly-recognized program.

� e Perspectives on Autism event is being sponsored by the nonpro� t organization Autism Day WA and hosted by Eastside Catholic as part of Autism Awareness Month in April. � e event will feature resources for parents and experts in the � eld sharing their stories and answering questions during round table discussions.

� e Perspectives program is free and open to the public from 4-8 p.m. Sponsors are still collecting experiences that can be auctioned o� as the fundraising portion of the evening. � e program on the plateau was coordinated to compliment the � ird Annual Autism Acceptance Video Game Tournament at Bellevue College that starts at 11 a.m. on the same day.

“� e programs being planned at BC in the morning and at Eastside Catholic that a� ernoon have been created to be both practical and engaging for parents, caregivers and for young people diagnosed

with autism,” explained Lynne Banki, the founder of Autism Day WA. “We want the items in our auction to be equally unique and engaging.”

Additional information on this year’s event is available at www.autismdaywa.org. For information on donations or partici-pation, contact Banki directly at [email protected] or call 425-802-7420.

Eastside Catholic princess will reign again during ‘Perspectives on Autism’

Sydney Weber was the belle of the ball last fall when she reigned as Senior Princess during Homecoming festivities at Eastside Catholic School.

Squak Mountain property acquisition a done-deal

The sun shines through the trees on Squak Mountain. FILE PHOTO.

BY LINDA BALLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Speeches from various public of-� cials, guided hikes and walks, and a celebration will mark the end of the saga of the Squak Mountain acquisi-tion by King County. On May 10 the public is invited to see what will become a treasure for all.

� e property, approximately 216-acres of pristine forest, was pur-chased by Erickson Logging, Inc. in

December 2012. Concerned neighbors, wildlife

enthusiasts and hikers rallied to save the mountain from potential log-ging by creating a group called “Save Squak.” A� er months of negotiation, the county and Erickson came to an agreement for the property to be pur-chased in perpetuity for all to enjoy.

� e property, the result of a part-nership between King County and � e Trust for Public Land, adds to King County’s Cougar-Squak Cor-

ridor parkland.“� is is a great victory for the resi-

dents around Squak Mountain that brought this important issue to our attention,” said King County Council member Reagan Dunn, whose district includes Squak Mountain. “� anks to the advocacy of organizations such as ‘Save Squak’ and the Issaquah Alps Trail Club we are saving valuable habitat while increasing recreational opportunities for King County resi-dents.”

� e forestland will be closed to the public until 2015 due to speci� c prepa-ration requirements, so the May 10 event will be an early opportunity for the public to see the property. Dave Kappler, the presi-dent of the Issaquah Alps Trail Club, said there are some areas where the trails are quite steep and hug-ging cli� s, and other safety features that need to be ad-dressed. Parking issues, and an old lodge will need some work, too, he said. If they keep the lodge, which could be rented out for events, it will need work Kappler said. For example the county will

HUGE SPRING PLANT SALEIssaquah, WashingtonOh my gosh, we have way too many plants! They have to go! We can barely move around this place.

We have a lot of big one-gallon size plants priced at just $4.97 including Japanese Red Maples, Purple Rockrose, Hostas, Hydrangeas, and that’s just o� the top of my head!

My favorite is the Japanese Red Maples. These are 2 to 3 ft tall, with sturdy trunks and brand new fancy red leaves. I wonder where else you are going to �nd Japanese Red Maples for $4.97.

We have �owering trees for $4.97 We have White Dogwoods, and Pink Dogwoods and Chinese Dogwoods, and the �owers are just starting to open. These are just the right size for a smaller yard.

Need some bigger trees for $4.97? We have Paperbark Birch. These guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do �ne in that soggy area, and so will Curly Willow. If you’re looking for a big tree, you’ve found it.

I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and sometimes we grow way too many. These trees should be priced more than $20 and

I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts!

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Pink Queen Potentilla, and they’ll be just covered with pink �owers in a couple of weeks

Another anti-Bambi plant is Purple Euphorbia, and it is just awesome. Deep wine colored leaves, with brilliant yellow-green �owers on top. Stays in �ower for months, and the handsome foliage is evergreen. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Looking for something to put in those shady places? Astilbes! We have pink, and white, and they are so happy in the shade that I bet I could get them to bloom in my front hall closet. The �owers last all summer long.

And evergreens - we have Bird’s Nest Spruce and Dwarf Albert Spruce. If you’re looking for something bright, there’s Gold Mop, and if you’re looking for something larger, check out Moonglow Juniper.

All this stu� is $4.97. You have to see it to believe it.

We have the cutest little native groundcover. It’s called Bawdy Primrose, and I have no idea how they made up that name. It has fuzzy, round leaves with scalloped edges, and bright pink �owers. It’s so nice to see

lots of �owers at this time of the year.

Speaking of groundcovers, we have Lithodora. Never heard of Lithodora? Google it! In bloom now with bright blue �owers. This will keep blooming for another couple of months.

Another great groundcover is Golden Creeping Jenny. This is the one to put where people and dogs might just run right over it. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Let’s see, what else can we �nd for you for $4.97? How about Pia Pink Hydrangeas and Nikko Blue Hydrangeas? Orchid Rockrose? Autumn Camellias?

How about Nugget Ninebark and Gold Mop Cypress?

I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

I am so excited that our Royal Star Magnolias are in bloom! I love those �u�y white blossoms all over the little trees. They’re a steal at $33.97.

We also have some really nice Chinese Tree Lilacs for $19.97. They’re about 3 ft tall, and really full, and getting ready to bloom.

Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Oregon.

Wait, I almost forgot - we’ve got some very special Japanese Maples. You know that beautiful weeping form, where the branches look like little umbrellas? We have those, and we have them with green leaves also. Just $39.97 each

Be sure to have a look at our Lion’s Head Maples. it’s the right size to grow in a small area, or even in pots. The leaves are tightly crinkled, and the whole e�ect is really bold. Guys love this tree and it’s a steal at $49.97.

You get the idea. Come on over FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY starting April 11 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Our little nursery is called The Daily Plant-It, and we’re open every weekend this spring. It’s �rst come, �rst served, and some of these little beauties will go fast. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.)

There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE on the west side of the road. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants.

Okay? Good. See you this weekend!

have to be sure the septic system is up to speed, and if it’s viable to break even if they rent it out.

King County Parks must also prepare the site for public use before full access can be allowed, includ-ing property clean-up, removing infrastructure, and establishing trail routes.

�e Trust for Public Land pur-chased the 216–acre property in six

parcels from Erickson. King County recently purchased

about half of the total acreage from �e Trust for Public Land using King County Parks Levy regional open space funds, Conservation Futures funds, and Real Estate Excise Taxes.

�e Trust for Public Land will retain ownership of the remaining acreage until King County raises the additional funds to complete the pur-chase, when it will be added to the County’s Cougar-Squak Corridor.

Dunn said if the county’s Parks Levy and Conservation Futures

funding request is approved by the Conservation Futures citizen’s com-mittee and allocated by council in the 2015 budget, then they anticipate purchasing the �nal parcel from TPL in late 2014 or early 2015.

�e acquisition has moved much faster than originally anticipated because the county had extra real es-tate excise tax money from all of the property Amazon bought in South Lake Union.

�e celebration site is located at 10610 Renton-Issaquah Road SE (State Route 900).

list of places we want to see will be on our to-do list. I am hopeful that I can also get involved with the work John is doing.”

Dawn said she is most looking forward to learning about Vietnam’s culture, getting to know the people, and trying to learn Vietnamese.

“I am so used to work-ing and being busy, I am a little nervous about finding enough to fill my time,” Dawn said. “I am hopeful that I can eventu-ally find a job that will allow me to do the work similar to what I am cur-rently doing. Right now I want to be open to figure that out when I get there.”

Dawn grew up on Cou-gar Mountain in Issaquah, where she attended Issaquah High School. Through her adult life she lived in many differ-ent cities, but when it was time to raise a family, she knew she wanted to be in this area.

Her passion for volun-teering started many years ago, and Dawn has been involved in multiple or-ganizations since, such as the Sammamish Kiwanis and the Lake Washing-

ton Schools Foundation Advisory Council. She has been Sammamish vol-unteer coordinator since 2007. Last month, Dawn was awarded the 2014 Founders Award through the SAMMI Awards Foundation for her loyalty and dedication to serving the city of Sammamish.

“She’s done so many generous things for Sam-mamish, she’s part of this city’s heart and soul.,” said Sammamish commu-nications manager, Tim Larson.

Larson said there’s a certain light about Dawn, and “it’s not just that bright cloud of hair she’s got.”

Dawn said one of the hardest parts is leaving her job.

“I have tried to explain how much it means to me to see how much people in this community do for others – it means so much to me to have been a part of the Sammamish spirit of volunteerism. I haven’t ever seen anything like it anywhere else.”

million in a separate transportation project account for the Issaquah-Fall City Road, amend its transportation and capital improvement plans to make the roadway one of the city’s top four priority projects, and immediate-ly pursue state and federal matching funds to complete the improvements as quickly as possible. �e improve-ments will be made from Beaver Lake Road and Duthie Hill to the Issaquah-Pine Lake/Issaquah-Fall City inter-section. It also states that within six months of annexation, Sammamish and Issaquah will jointly agree on the project’s scope and timing.

Yazici said that at this time, there is no estimate as to how much the project will cost.

“�is proposed agreement ben-e�ts both cities – and potentially our Klahanie area neighbors,” Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler said. “I look

forward to working with Sammamish as we continue our regional planning partnership.”

Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance said he thinks the terms of the agreement are “very acceptable,” and makes for a win for both cities as well as the people of Klahanie.

“I think this is a very productive step in our relationship with Is-saquah,” said Sammamish council-member Nancy Whitten. “I hope we do nothing but build on this. We can do wonderful things together.”

Whitten said she is very pleased with the agreement, but made it clear that while this is the critical �rst step, there are many steps to follow, like getting the annexation on a ballot.

Yazici said that due to the process and abundance of steps, there is not enough time to get the annexation on the November ballot.

“It’s really going to be a slow-track,” Yazici said. “As hard as everyone works at this, it’s a really slow process that we have to go through.”

However, approving the interlocal agreement is the most critical step to start the process, he said.

“�e real key here is we’re repairing our relationship with Issaquah,” said Sammamish councilmember Kathy Huckabay. “It will be very important that we move forward together.”

Sammamish plans to vote on the interlocal agreement next week. Issaquah’s council Land and Shore Committee reviewed the agreement at its April 8 meeting, and will be mak-ing a few recommendations, returning it to the full council at its April 21 meeting.

Most Sammamish council mem-bers are extremely pleased with the agreement and how the two cities are working together.

“�is allows us to get over a major hurdle, �nally, so I’m hoping we can agree on this next week,” Vance said.

It would be easy to say “no” to King County Proposition 1, the tax and vehicle fee for transportation. A� er all, who wants more taxes?

But that would be the wrong thing to do. All of King County will be served best with a “yes”

vote to both maintain transit service at current levels and provide maintenance and safety improvements to roads in cities and in unincorporated King County.

Everyone who drives on our roads, including freeways and highways, knows � rst-hand how congested things are. Bumper-to-bumper tra� c is a daily occurrence. Take away transit routes and things will only get worse. And, yes, traf-� c around here can get worse.

Metro Transit provides 400,000 rides each day to people throughout the county. With out Prop 1, Metro would have to make drastic cuts to its service that would a� ect 80 percent of bus riders. If that happens, it is estimated that an additional 30,000 cars will be added to our roads each day. Worse, those who must use the bus – people with disabili-ties, students and working families – will � nd themselves stranded.

Approving Prop 1 comes at a cost, of course. Prop 1 would levy a 0.1 percent sales tax and install a

$60 vehicle fee. Each would last for 10 years. To help ease the pain on the poor, Prop 1 also allows for a low-income vehicle fee rebate of $20 and also a low-income Metro transit fare.

None of this is meant to dismiss the concerns of oppo-nents of Prop 1. In fact, we share many of those concerns.

We know that Metro’s transit costs are high and we aren’t convinced that Metro truly has done all it can to rein them in. And we don’t like any increase in the sales tax because it is regressive and hits the poor more harshly than the rich.

We also know much of the burden of paying for Prop 1 will fall on our backs here in east King County, along with our neighbors in south King County. But that’s also true of property tax.

� e bottom line is that transit service is too important – for rich and poor alike It must be maintained and Prop 1 will do that. Vote “yes.”

Sometimes it takes a calamity to move anything through Congress.

In the case of the Green Mountain Lookout, it took a tragedy for federal law-makers to keep an iconic structure exactly where it is.

A bill sent to President Barack Obama this week will preserve the lookout that’s long been a destination for hikers and a cherished landmark for Dar-rington residents.

� is legislation will reach the president stunningly fast, by con-gressional standards, thanks to an all-too-ra-

re exhibition of the personal overcoming the political in Washington, D.C.

On March 28, the sixth day a� er a monstrous mudslide erased an Oso neighborhood and claimed nearly three dozen lives, Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin told members of Washington’s congressional delegation that protecting the lookout would upli� the community’s spirits.

� e Senate responded on April 3 by passing the preservation measure. � e House approved it Monday and there was

not a dissenting voice in either chamber.“I think that tells you how much every-

body wants to do something,” said Sen. Patty Murray, adding Obama shouldn’t wait to act on it until visiting later this month.

“I want him to sign this and get it done,” she said. “� is is a community that needs to stand up and cheer.”

� ough success came remarkably quick, Congressman Rick Larsen poured the foundation in June 2012 by introduc-ing the � rst Green Mountain Lookout Historic Preservation Act.

In 2013, U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Medina, re-introduced it and Murray and Sen. Maria Cantwell, co-sponsored an identical bill in the Senate.

� ose gathered dust until earlier this year when the Republican majority in the House passed an omnibus public lands measure containing a provision for Green Mountain Lookout.

Democrats said it contained too many unsavory provisions and several, includ-ing DelBene and Larsen, voted against it. When it arrived in the Senate where Democrats run things, the bill got perma-nently parked.

LWSD bond willkeep education high

� e board of directors of the Sam-mamish Chamber of Commerce endorses the upcoming Lake Wash-ington School District’s bond levy. � e chamber supported the levy last November. We reiterate our earlier opinion that quality public educa-tion is of paramount importance to our community and approval of the

levy will enable the district to ful� ll a number of critical projects needed not only to continue to provide excellence in education but also meet expected growth in district enrollment now projected at 4,000 over the next eight years.

High quality education within the district aligns with the Sammamish chamber’s mission to provide eco-nomic vitality within the city of Sam-mamish and attract a demographic of families who are both owners and consumers of business in Sam-mamish. � e educational upgrades and teaching tools the bond will

provide are paramount to ensuring both the high quality of education the district provides our kids and main-taining long-run economic vitality of our city.

� e chamber is con� dent in the district’s � nancial management and planning capabilities and believes the proposed bond request of $404 mil-lion is both reasonable and respon-sible. For these reasons, the chamber urges citizens of Sammamish to vote for the levy on April 22.

� en, on March 22, the blu� in Oso disappeared, and Rankin made his request on March 28. Murray recalled looking at DelBene and saying: let’s get it done.

� e next day Murray phoned Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources. She wanted to gauge his willingness to advance a stand-alone bill she hoped to get through the Senate.

“I said it was something we could do to show (residents) we can get this done. To his credit, he said let’s get it done,” she said.

During the next three days, Murray corralled the backing of Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who are the chairwoman and vice-chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Either could have resisted going so fast or sought to at-tach other pieces of legislation to it. � ey didn’t. During the talks, Murray learned Murkowski has ties to Darrington as relatives on her mother’s side lived there a long time ago.

� e Senate Majority Leader didn’t stand in the way either, and the bill sailed through.

� en Hastings, true to his word, shepherded it through the House.

Before the vote, Larsen said passage would symbolize Congress’ solidarity with the community and send a mes-sage that Darrington is open for business.

DelBene said congressional action carried an impact beyond saving a landmark.

“� is bill can’t undo what has been done. But, as the mayor of Darrington told me, it can be a piece of good news and a victory for an inspiring community that has gone through so much,” she said.

Rankin described himself as shaking with excitement when DelBene phoned immediately a� er the vote Monday.

“It was a pretty fantastic moment,” he said. “We got something that was really important for our community.”

Natasha Babayan was stunned by the devastation she witnessed when she traveled to her parents’ hometown of Gyumri, Armenia. � e Bellevue teen,

and � rst-generation American, says her experience in the summer of 2012 was an “aha moment” that inspired her to

serve others, both at home and abroad.Natasha – who comes from a single-

parent household without much money – readily admits that she herself has received community support. And thanks to the inspiration she found dur-ing that 2012 trip to Armenia, Natasha became especially interested in commu-nity service projects. Among her many volunteer e� orts, she helped raise money to build schools in impoverished corners of the world and reconstruct communi-

ties in the Philippines ravaged by an earthquake not unlike the one that struck her parents’ home.

Natasha’s journey of public service last month landed her on stage at Seattle’s Key Arena in front of 15,000 of her peers, where she represented Microso� at We Day, an inspirational event from nonpro� t Free � e Children that

empowers a generation of young people to volunteer and participate in social activism at home and overseas.

Free � e Children built a program that reaches hundreds of thousands of young people, and through a three-year sponsorship from Microso� , we joined forces to extend their reach – to help the increasing number of young people who ask, “What can I do to help?” Having seen � rsthand the myriad of ways that technology has made the world a better place, I encourage young people to view technology as a powerful tool to help them answer that question. We created the Microso� YouthSpark initiative to empower 300 million young people with opportunities for education, employment, and entrepreneurship to do just that.

� rough our three-year commitment to bring We Day to both Washington state and California, that’s exactly the kind of dreaming we hope to inspire. � e realization that young people—and the rest of us—have the power to change the world for the better. � at’s what We Day, and Microso� YouthSpark, is all about.

Lori Forte Harnick is Microso� ’s general manager for

citizenship and public a� airs. She lives in Sammamish.

We all have power to change world

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of joint-replacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.

Hips and knees are replaceable because time spent missing out on life isn’t.

Public health o�cials are alerting the community to a possible public exposure to measles.

A Whatcom County woman in her 20s became contagious with measles March 26 a�er visiting a family linked to an outbreak in British Columbia.

Public health o�cials have also con�rmed a measles infection in a traveler who was at Sea-Tac airport and two locations in Seattle during his contagious period. �e traveler is a resident of California and was likely exposed to the measles while on a �ight with an earlier con�rmed measles case on March 21.

�e woman traveled to Seattle for a Kings of Leon concert at Key Arena on March 28, when she also was at the Best Western Loyal Inn and the Wasabi Bistro. �e next day, she was at Beth’s Café, Aurora Suzuki, Starbucks at First and Pike, and the Pike Place Market. On those same dates she visited several loca-tions in Pierce County, including Celebrity Cake Studio, LeMay Car Museum, Harmon Brewing Company, and some department stores.

A complete list of the locations and the times of potential public exposure are avail-

able online at doh.wa.gov.Anyone who was in those locations at the

listed times should �nd out if they have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously. People who are unvaccinated, aren’t sure if they’re immune, and develop an illness with fever or unexplained rash should consult a health care professional imme-diately. Public health o�cials urge them to call ahead to their clinic, doctor’s o�ce, or emergency room before arriving so people in waiting rooms aren’t exposed.

Measles is highly contagious even before the rash starts, and is easily spread when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. If you’re not vaccinated, you can get the measles just by walking into a room where someone with the disease has been in the past couple of hours.

Washington typically has �ve or fewer measles cases per year; so far in 2014, there have been seven. Symptoms begin seven-to-21 days a�er exposure and is contagious for about four days before rash appears until four days a�erward. People at highest risk from exposure to measles include those who are unvaccinated, pregnant women, infants under six months of age and those with weakened immune systems.

Children should be vaccinated with two doses of measles, mumps, rubella vaccine, with the �rst dose between 12 and 15 months and the second at four-to-six years. Adults should have at least one measles vaccination, with some people needing two. �e State De-partment of Health immunization program has more information about measles and measles vaccine.

BY KELLY MONTGOMERYISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

On April 4, the Sammamish Planning Commission began deliberations regarding requirements and coding for tempo-rary homeless encampments.

�roughout the process, the city will take multiple con-siderations into account, such as neighboring cities regula-tions regarding homeless encampments, public comment and safety concerns.

�e city’s dra� on homeless encampment use permits in-cludes general conditions, such as a homeless encampment may only be hosted by a religious organization, and must be located on real property owned or controlled by the reli-gious organization. �e city de�ned religious organization as a “federally protected practice of a recognized religious assembly, school, or institution that owns or controls real property.”

�e dra� also states that:• No homeless encampment shall operate within the city

of Sammamish for more than 90 consecutive days, with an additional �ve days to accommodate moving onto or o� a site, upon approval.• No more than one homeless encampment may be lo-

cated in the city at any time. • An applicant shall submit a complete application for a

Homeless Encampment Use Permit at least 30 days before occupancy.• Homeless encampments will be limited to a maximum

number of people, not to exceed 100 persons, depending on the conditions of the proposed site. A�er maximum occu-pancy is reached, any individual who arrives at the home-

less encampment a�er sundown, and meets all screening criteria, will be allowed to stay for one night and then not permitted entry until a vacancy is available. • A six-foot-high sight obscuring fence, vegetative screen

or other visual obstruction shall be provided between a homeless encampment and any abutting residential prop-erty. • Possession or use of illegal drugs is not permitted. No

alcohol, weapons, violence and open �ames are permitted. All knives over three and a half inches must be turned in to the managing agency for safekeeping. No trespassing onto private property in the surrounding neighborhood is permitted. No convicted sex o�ender shall reside in the homeless encampment.• During the application process, the applicant must con-

duct a neighborhood meeting to inform nearby residents and the public about the proposed homeless encampment prior to submitting an application. �e applicant must provide notice of the meeting by mail, �rst class and postage prepaid, to all owners of real property within 500 feet of the lot(s) containing the proposed encampment at least 45 days prior to the neighborhood meeting.

�ese are just some of the conditions and regulations re-garding homeless encampments in Sammamish. For the full list and complete text, visit http://bit.ly/NIQGhs. To view public comments, a comparison table, and other documents related to homeless encampments, visit http://bit.ly/1hBP7JI.

�e Planning Commission’s tentative schedule through this process is as follows:

�e dra� also states that:• May 13: Planning Commission plans to o�cially hand-

o� its recommendations on the dra� Homeless Encamp-ment Use Permit code and ordinance to the City Council.• May 20: City Council Regular Meeting: Council will

have its �rst reading and hold a public hearing.• June 3: City Council Regular Meeting: Council will have

its second reading and hold deliberations.�ese dates are subject to change, but will represent the

schedule until further notice. �e Planning Commission will meet again at 6:30 p.m. �ursday, April 17 to further discuss homeless encampment coding. �e meeting will

take place at Sammamish City Hall and is open to the public.

Sammamish starts coding process for homeless camps ‘Boots, Brats & Brews’ will

bring some kick-stomping bluegrass music to Pickering Barn on April 24. �e blue-grass band, �e Weavils, will entertain while people taste assorted beers and enjoy a brat alongside many other food samplings from local restaurants.

�e event, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. also will include a silent auction with more than a hundred items to choose from. Also, only 200 ra�e tickets are available for a chance to win a limited

edition Super Bowl XLVIII football autographed by Rus-sell Wilson, or the experi-ence for two of an Alaska Airlines �ight simulator.

Wine also will be available for tasting and attendees can buy a bottle of wine to take home. In addition, there will be a photo booth to remember the night with a complimentary commemo-rative picture.

Tickets are $40 per per-son, available at www.boots-bratsandbrews.com. Tickets include a souvenir pilsner glass. All proceeds from the event will go to the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah to support local youth scholarships and programs.

‘Boots, Brats and Brews’ comes to Pickering Barn

�e South Cove and Greenwood Point neighbor-hoods will soon be served by the city of Issaquah for water and sewer service.

�e Issaquah City Council voted unanimously at its April 7 meeting to approve an inter-local agreement, which the city of Bellevue had already approved.

�e two neighborhoods annexed to the city in 2006,

yet remained city of Bellevue customers for both water and sewer. Soon a�er an-nexation, both Issaquah and Bellevue worked together to study potential options for a switch of services and found Issaquah could o�er a lower combined water and sewer utility bill for the average customer.

When the switch occurs, the major di�erences for the average customer will be receiving a bill from Is-saquah instead of Bellevue, and paying a lower cost for the services.

More information is avail-able at 425-837-3400.

South Cove and Greenwood Point will be served by Issaquah

Jim Smith of First Due Movers and Madeline Fish, Eastside Baby Corner’s operations manager show some of the 14,000 items donated to victims of the Oso mudslide. COURTESY PHOTO .

Eastside Baby Corner loaded a Darrington-bound moving truck Tues-day morning with the more than 14,000 items collected during an emergency drive to help children impacted by the Oso Mudslide. The truck and transpor-tation of the items was donated by First Due Movers.

Last week, eager to help the children of Oso and Darrington, Eastside Baby Corner contacted the Darrington Food Bank to inquire about the community’s specific needs. Food bank representa-

tives asked for children’s underwear and socks, diapers and pull-ups and sham-poo and conditioner. Generous donors answered the call, contributing more than 800 pairs of underwear, 1,200 pairs of socks, almost 200 bottles of sham-poo and conditioner and almost 10,000 diapers.

Additionally, EBC received $1,300 in monetary donations, which were used to purchase 40 cases of paper towels and 40 cases of toilet paper, other items request-ed by the local coordinators.

President Barack Obama will visit the devastated landslide area at Oso on April 22 to see first-hand the extent of the damage.

Obama made the announcement to U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-1st District.

“This morning I spoke with the presi-dent to discuss the tragic landslide along State Route 530, the ongoing recovery

efforts and the federal government’s continued commitment to do everything it can to help the victims, their fami-lies and all those affected by this tragic disaster,” DelBene said. “During the call, the president and I talked about his visiting the slide area. He told me that he will be visiting on April 22 to view the devastation caused by the slide and meet with the families affected by the disaster, as well as the brave first responders and recovery workers.”

DelBene said the president will move quickly to sign legislation into law which was recently passed by Congress to save the historic Green Mountain Lookout near Darrington.

BY CAROL DEARTH

Creating and hosting a memorable Easter brunch is a fabulous treat. Enjoying the process, planning and preparation as well as a delicious meal, coming

together with friends and family sounds wonderful. And accomplishing it without having your hair on � re is quite do-able if you use a timeline (below).

For me, the key is doing whatever I can in advance, so that I don’t feel rushed at the last minute. My motto is:

whatever you can make ahead — DO IT! And don't feel badly choosing purchased prepared foods as another option if neces-sary. But having fun is not an option — it is a requirement.

To complete your menu, you might add simple fruit skew-ers, which are more festive than a compote, and a lively brunch cocktail — Semifreddo Bellinis. Find the cocktail recipe at www.thesizzleworks.com/blog/2014/03/semifreddo-bellini/.

Brunch, bunnies & bellinis for Easter

Brunch Crepes withSausage and Orange Wheels

Make crepes ahead and freeze. Watch the video to guide you through the process of

crepe making at www.thesizzleworks.com/blog/2014/03/crepes/ For crepes:■ 1 ½ cups milk■ 2 eggs■ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ■ 1 cup all-purpose � our ■ ¼ teaspoon salt■ butter, for cooking

Combine all ingredients except butter in blender, process until smooth.

Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ½ teaspoon of butter to coat the bottom. Using a ¼ cup dry measure, not quite full, scoop batter into hot

pan, swirling the pan to evenly coat with batter. When the crêpe is almost dry on the top and golden

brown on the edges (about 1 minute), it is time to turn it, if you choose to do so. Use a small spatula to loosen the edge of the crêpe, then turn it over with the spatula or your � n-gers. Cook the crêpe on the second side, about 15 seconds longer, or until it is lightly browned underneath. If you do not want to turn the crepe, cook until the top is dry and no longer shiny. Once cooked, turn out onto a board to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes.For sauce:■ zest of one orange■ 2 tbsp butter■ ¼ c sugar■ 4 tsp cornstarch■ dash of salt■ 1 ½ c freshly squeezed orange juice■ 1/3 c orange liqueur or brandyfor sauce:

Combine � rst 6 ingredients in saucepan, over medium heat; cook until thick and bubbly.Add brandy.To assemble:■ 16 link sausages, cooked■ 4 oranges, peeled, sliced into wheels

Fold crepes in quarters, arrange in shallow baking dish with sausages. You may refrigerate at this point overnight. Just before baking, place orange wheels in with crepes. Cover with foil, heat at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Reheat sauce and pour over crepes. Heat 10 minutes longer. Serve hot.Serves 8.

� e entire dish may be kept warm in a 170°F oven for two hours.

Quick Orange Chive Biscuit BunniesA video showing how to

When Bob Ittes was asked to open a Whidbey Island Bank branch in Issaquah, he knew exactly who should help him run it. He’d worked closely with Carmen, Charlotte and Julie for decades. Melodee, Jaclyn and Dorothy were also obvious choices to round out the crew, as each had extensive experience with other banks in Issaquah and the surrounding communities.

What made it an even better fit for the bank and the new staff was the common belief that a successful community bank is based on the support of local people and businesses.

With everyone back together again, this team is poised to become the bank for the eastside of the eastside.

So if you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with any one of these folks, you might want to stop by and get caught up. Because in today’s ever-changing world, a familiar face can make all the difference.

A new Issaquah-based literary arts organiza-tion, Eastside Writes, hopes to build community by bringing ‘Poem in Your Pocket Day’ out of obscurity. Eastside Writes is partnering with Issaquah businesses to distribute pocket-sized poetry throughout the day on Thursday, April 24.

Founded by a group of local writers, Eastside Writes exists to promote the literary arts in and around Is-saquah. By sharing poetry, the group hopes to prompt unexpected conversations throughout the community.

“We hope this will become an annual community-wide event with increased participation each year,” said Eastside Writes co-founder Kim Kankiewicz. “To

our knowledge, no other community in the Pacific Northwest has embraced Poem in Your Pocket Day, and we hope Issaquah will be the first to do so.”

“Issaquah is the perfect setting for a community-wide Poem in Your Pocket Day,” says Kankiewicz. “We have vibrant arts and independent business sec-tors and a diverse population. Local businesses have responded enthusiastically to our inaugural Poem in Your Pocket event.”

Individuals who post a photo of their poem, or any pocket-sized poem, on the Eastside Writes Facebook page by April 25 will be entered in a drawing for a $20 gift card to one participating business. Additional ‘Poem in Your Pocket Day’ activities are taking place at Clark Elementary School.

Other upcoming Eastside Writes events include a Mother’s Day card writing workshop, summer writ-ing camps for kids and teens and an outdoor writing experience in conjunction with artEAST’s Plein Air Paint Out.

Issaquah senior mid� elder Ryan Higgins heads a ball in a 1-0 win against Ballard. RICK EDELMAN, Rick Edelman Photography

BY JOSH [email protected]

Issaquah and Skyline each picked up a win in boys soccer to start the week, and still sit at the top of the 4A KingCo standings as the season nears the midway point.

� e Eagles beat Ballard 1-0 on a Ryan Higgins goal to remain undefeated, moving their record to 6-0-1 and a per-fect 4-0-0 in KingCo play.

� e goal pushed Higgins’ team leading total to three on the year, with two of those coming as game-winners.

Joshua Zhou and Dyllon Nguyen each have two goals and two assists and Conner Hughes has tallied four helpers to aid the Issaquah attack for the season.

An Armeen Bardi strike, along with a shutout e� ort in goal from Jack O’Keefe and Alex Appel, gave the Spartans a 1-0 against Roosevelt. � at victory pushed their record to 6-0-3 overall and 3-0-1 in the conference, just behind Issaquah.

Both teams faced Wednesday games a� er the Reporter’s deadline looking to remain unbeaten, as the Eagles traveled to Bothell and Skyline visited Inglemoor.

� e regular season � nale May 1 at Skyline is the only meeting of the year between the two during the regular season.

Eastlake faced Ballard Wednesday still trying for its � rst conference win a� er dropping a 2-1 game to Woodinville Monday.

� e Wolves still face late season games with Skyline and Issaquah and will need to turn the tide quickly in order to salvage a postseason spot.

Eastside Catholic, which dropped non-conference

games to the Eagles and Spartans, are 2-1-1 in Metro League play and in second place in the division.

� e Crusaders beat Blanchet 1-0 Tuesday, and met Seattle Prep � ursday a� er earning a draw with the rival Panthers earlier in the year.

EC faces Bainbridge Monday and O’Dea Wednesday in Mountain Division games.

Issaquah, Skyline, tops in conference

Skyline alum featured on SI.com

Max Browne, who spent last season as a redshirt with the USC Trojans football team a� er a stellar career at Skyline, is featured in a SportsIllustrated.com article naming potential breakout stars in college football for the 2014 season.

� e story runs with the recent trend of redshirt freshman winning the sport’s most prestigious award - the Heisman Trophy - as Johnny Manziel and Jameis Winston have the past two seasons.

SI.com reporter Zac Ellis tabs Browne as one of nearly a dozen players who could see a similar upward tick in productivity and celebrity as a result of an increased role on their team in 2014.

He talks about former head coach Lake Ki� n’s decision to keep Browne out of the competition for the starting job last year between Max Whittek and

Cody Kessler, which Kessler eventually won.

“New Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian has brought Browne into the fold this spring, which could prove signi� cant on the heels of Wittek’s decision to transfer.”

During his four years at Skyline, Browne led the Spartans to a pair of state titles and three 4A state championship games, while also collecting a host of awards and honors. He was named the National Gatorade Player of the Year in his senior season.

Wolves’ Dailey resigns as coach

Eastlake’s boys basket-ball team will be led by a new face in 2014-15, a� er Brian Dailey announced he was stepping down due to career obligations.

“Eastlake is in my Heart and Soul and everyday coaching our young men has been a blessing,” said

EC, Eastlake, part of hoops All-Star gameBY JOSH [email protected]

� e Multnomah Athletic Foundation in Portland is host-ing its 20th annual border war basketball showcase and this year’s game has a pair of local connections.

Eastside Catholic head coach Bill Liley was named an assistant coach for the game a� er leading his Crusaders to the 3A state championship game for the � rst time in pro-gram history during his third season at the helm.

“I’ve always wanted to coach in this game,” Liley said, adding he has previously coached with the head coach of the Washington boys team, Pat Fitterer.

Fitterer retired from the prep coaching scene in Febru-ary a� er 37 years and 728 wins at Highland, Kentwood, Sehome, Eisenhower and Ellensburg. He won the 1988 1A state title at Highland and the 1996 3A state title with Se-home, and Liley said is someone he looks forward to again joining on the sidelines.

“I have learned a ton from him,” he said. “He’s a great dude and we’re going to have a blast.”

Liley, a former 1A state champion with King’s and assis-tant under legendary Mercer Island coach Ed Pepple, took EC within a possession of taking down nationally-ranked Rainier Beach in this year’s title game. � e Vikings entered the game boasting showcase tournament wins and a roster rife with Division I talent, but managed a season low in points against a stingy Crusaders’ defense.

� e honor of coaching in the all-star game, along with a recent award he won from the state’s basketball o� cials association, should only bring more awareness for an East-side Catholic basketball program Liley has already taken to new heights.

“People are looking at the fact good things are happen-ing with our program,” he said. “If we continue to work as hard as we’re working, people will continue to recognize those things.”

Only one player from 4A KingCo was named to the girls roster for the Washington squad, as Eastlake senior standout Marijke Vanderschaaf will join two-time Gato-

rade Player of the Year Brittany McPhee, back-to-back 3A state champions Myzhanique Ladd and Makala Roper, and Lynnwood standout Jasmin Edwards, among others.

Vanderschaaf was a � rst team All-KingCo selection as a senior, and helped the Lady Wolves to within a game of the 4A Regional round.

� e 20th annual Northwest Shootout is scheduled for April 26 at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, Ore.

� e girls game begins at 4 p.m., followed by the boys game, and tickets are $10 ($5 for students). Proceeds from the game go to bene� t community grants and scholarships in the Portland area.

A host of future NBA and Division I collegiate players have participated in the game in the past, including Nate Robinson, Terrell Brandon, Mike Dunleavy and Shoni and Jude Schimmel.

Dailey, himself an Eastlake alum and member of the basketball program during the school’s early years, through a release from ath-letic director Pat Bangasser.

Eastlake beat Ballard in the � rst round of the 4A KingCo tournament this season, before dropping a winner-to-state game against eventual Class 4A champion Gar� eld, and a loser-out game against Bothell.

“We wish him the very best and thank him for his service to the Eastlake com-munity,” Bangasser said. “He is a � rst class act and we will miss him dearly.”

Eastside JC football hosting combines

� e Eastside JC Bulldogs, a football team for stu-dents enrolled in two-year colleges, is hosting three combine training events for prospective team members on consecutive Saturdays in May.

� e team, which is not a� liated with Bellevue Col-lege or any other academic institution, plays games during the fall against other regional junior college teams from throughout

Washington. Last year’s team included

nearly 40 players from high schools around the Eastside, including Skyline, Eastlake and Issaquah.

Players do not need to attend Bellevue College, but must maintain an academic course load at a two-year school and have collegiate eligibility remaining.

� e combines are scheduled for May 3, 10 and 20 at Cross� t Bellevue (13425 SE 30th St. Ste. 2C), with sign in beginning at 10:30 a.m. � e fee is $35 for new players and $25 for returning players and tests will include 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical and broad jump and other football related drills.

Issaquah to celebrate International Music Day

Issaquah will be making music on Saturday, June 21 in celebration of Interna-tional Music Day (Fete de la Musique). International Music Day is the one day a year people around the world celebrate the impor-tance of music through free, open and accessible events throughout the U.S. and the world.

� e event is celebrated in over 450 cities and 100 coun-tries when musicians take to the streets, sidewalks, and parks to play. Entire com-munities come out to listen, dance and join in making music. Each community organizes its own events, and each celebration has a distinct expression.

In Issaquah, musicians are taking to the streets in downtown and Gilman Village. In addition to the several live music venues that host live music on every Saturday night, the city is

asking merchants to bring live music into their venues for the night. � ere will be several designated outdoor locations for bands that need power and several locations for solo or acoustic musi-cians.

Everyone who plays an instrument is invited — school bands, symphonies, individual bands and solo musicians. Musicians are not paid, but can ask for tips and sell merchandise.

Musicians must sign up by May 1 for a time slot de-pendent on availability and music must be approved for family friendly lyric content. Venues assignments will be con� rmed a� er May 1.

� ose interested can submit a bio or other infor-mation to [email protected] with a description of their style of music and a sample via a website or other link.

Starting May 6, the Sam-mamish City Council will begin to use the Mainte-nance and Operations Cen-ter (MOC) on a temporary basis for its meetings.

� is is a week earlier than the date announced in the April. Meetings will resume at City Hall by June 10. � e short-term

move will clear the way for improvements to the city’s emergency management and audio-visual capabili-ties in the council chamber and adjoining conference room.

� e maintenance center is located at 1801 244th Ave. N.E., a short distance north of N.E. 8th Street.

Sammamish City Council meetings will move May 6

� e Issaquah School District is one of three districts and three schools in the state that has been recognized with a 2014 Washington State Green Leader Award. Issaquah was recognized for its progress toward reducing environmental impact and costs.

Several district programs include incorporating storm water retention ponds that retain, � lter and return water to local aquifers into the design of new schools. � ey also have focused on the reduction of paper use, recycling and waste

reduction, irrigation system and water usage conservation through the planting of drought resistant plants and instal-lation of turf play� elds, the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel busses with no idle zones to reduce car emissions during student pick-up, and energy savers through programmed systems that automatically power down computers every night.

� e e� orts have resulted in a 49 percent districtwide recycling rate. More than 7,500 cubic yards of recycled materials and 1,800 cubic yards of food scraps are collected each year, reducing the district’s garbage volume by 7,400 cubic yards annually. Since 2001, domestic water usage has been reduced by 40.4 percent, 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide from energy usage has been prevented from entering the atmosphere, and energy consumption has decreased by 7.6 percent even as the district’s building square footage has increased by almost 30 percent.

Northeast Sammamish Water District’s drinking water was again named the best tasting drinking water in King County for the third year in a row by a panel of water experts at the recent American Water Works Association annual event.

“We take tremendous pride in the fact that our water resource is pris-

tine and that we give our customers the best drink-ing water possible,” said Don Newton, president of the district’s board of commissioners. “We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality drinking water along with outstand-ing customer service at a reasonable price.”

�e district’s drinking water has won numerous taste contests locally and was recently named the best tasting water in the Paci�c Northwest as well as the second best tasting water in the country.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
