“I remember being here a year ago in front of all of you, giving my (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and � reats) analysis — with one week as mayor,” Butler said, making a face playfully mimicking anxiety. “A lot has happened in a year.

Police seize stolen sports gearBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah police on Jan. 7 seized a large amount of property that was stolen, ex-pensive and enjoys the company of white powder.

� at's right: winter sports gear.According to a department press release

issued Monday morning, o� cers from Issaquah PD, Cle Elum police, the Major Crimes Task Force and deputies from the Kittitas County Sheri� 's O� ce arrested a 55-year-old Ronald, Wash. man on Jan. 7 for possession and tra� cking of stolen merchandise.

Issaquah police are in charge of the investigation, but charges have been � led by the Kittitas County prosecutor, Issaquah Det. Brian Horn said.

� e defendant, the owner of a sporting goods business in Ronald, is alleged to have appropriated the recovered portion

of $150,000 in equipment taken during the November the� of a trailer from an Issaquah-area competitor. Police recovered $48,000 of equipment during the arrest.

"Kittitas County has � led formal charges and will prosecute the matter," Horn wrote in an email to � e Reporter. "I can tie the property to our burglary, but cannot tie this suspect to that crime. His role comes with the new charges of Possession of and Traf-� cking in Stolen Property."

Ronald is an unincorporated Census Designated Place — just west of Roslyn, Wash. — with approximately 265 residents as of the 2000 United States Census.

While investigating the man, police believed he could be reselling the stolen merchandise. A customer sent to the business purchased a backpack at approxi-mately $500 below market value, in cash, with no receipt.

Police used the backpack's serial number to determine it had come from the Is-

saquah business.Much of the recovered merchandise

already has been returned to the rightful owner a� er Issaquah Police veri� ed price tags, stock keeping unit numbers and serial numbers, Horn said.

It looks like Pacific Cascade Middle School isn't the only area campus dealing with anonymous written threats.

Pine Lake Middle School of Sam-mamish was evacuated the afternoon of Jan. 9 after a student discovered a note

in the boys bathroom that referenced a bomb, according to an email sent by Principal Michelle Caponigro. Law enforcement officers with bomb-sniffing K-9 units searched and cleared the campus within hours, having found no dangerous materials.

� e discovery occurred near the end of the school day. Students were escorted to

arriving buses and driven home as usual."We have reason to believe this is not

a credible threat," Caponigro wrote as officers searched the campus.

Students not taking the bus were escorted to the nearby park-and-ride for pick-ups.

School began normally Monday and staff will notify parents of any develop-ments in the case, Caponigro said.

County, Trust for Public Land completing Squak Mountain property deal

King County and � e Trust for Public Land are taking the last few steps in a two-year-long journey to permanently preserve more than 200 acres of Cas-cade foothills forestland.

Coveted for its ecological value, including sheltering the headwaters of a salmon-bearing stream, 226 acres of land on Squak Mountain was purchased by the trust in 2014 for $5 million.

"Successes like Squak Mountain are at the heart of our mission to give ev-eryone a great park close to home," said Paul Kundtz, Washington State Director of � e Trust for Public Land. "It's been intensely rewarding to be able to work with the great team at King County and achieve this wonderful outcome for the people of Issaquah."

King County previously purchased about half of the total acreage from the trust. In December, the county made its second and � nal payment to the trust, concluding the transaction and bringing the acreage into public ownership.

� e property was purchased with King County Parks Levy regional open space funds, Conservation Futures funds, and real estate excise taxes.

� e forestland remains closed to the public while King County Parks crews prepare the site for public use, including property clean-up, removing infrastruc-ture and establishing trail routes.

� e property should be open to hik-ing in the springtime, and King County Parks will begin a public planning process to help determine future uses for the property, which is being added to the County’s Cougar-Squak Corridor.

Northwest Inboards captures dealership award

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A nascent Issaquah boat dealership has already been recognized for exceptional sales and customer service.

Northwest Inboards, opened in May by Lake Sammamish native Darren Lamont, received two Best New Dealership awards from manufacturers Axis Wake and Supra. � e awards were given based on sales and customer feed-back, Lamont said.

Lamont has worked in the watersports industry for more than 20 years, beginning when he was 13 years old. He took a job from Herb O’Brien, work-ing at O’Brien’s HO Sports manufacturing business in Redmond. His goal? To save up for a new slalom ski and kneeboard.

“I grew up skiing and wakeboarding on Lake Sammamish and in Eastern Washington,” Lamont said. “It’s always been a part of my and my family’s life.

“I say this all the time, but it’s totally true: I would say it’s one of the only sports that you can do with a family or group of friends where everyone is involved, whether you’re the person on skis, or driving the boat

or spotting the person on skis. It’s an individual sport when you’re behind the boat, but it’s a team activity when everybody’s there.”

Lamont made waters-ports his life and his career, working for HO and Hy-perlite Wake. It was all he had known, and a few years ago he considered stepping out in a new direction.

� en Paul Gregoire — the president of Bakes Marine and “friendly competition,” as he put it, to Lamont — o� ered him an option: To become the owner of his own boat dealer, based out of Bakes.

“It’s something I’ve al-

ways dreamed about doing, having my own boat dealer-ship,” Lamont said.

His father was a business owner and he felt he had his own opportunity to have the freedom that comes with building one’s own livelihood.

Of course, the opportu-nity hasn’t come without di� culties. Lamont said he’s still learning how to balance the time he puts into the business with his personal life. But he’s equipped with the knowl-edge shared from his past and current mentors in the industry, including O’Brien

and Bakes owner Bill Baker, he said.

Now Lamont is look-ing forward to running his business during what should be its � rst legitimate busy season.

“We have the Seattle Boat Show coming up in January (23 to Feb. 1) and that ac-counts for 30 to 35 percent of business for the year (at Bakes),” he said. “It will be our � rst boat show … since we opened our doors a� er last year’s, so I’m very excited.”

A different Inslee takes on Legislature

News of a possible partnership — maybe a merger — between Bellevue College and Washington State University is good news for Issaquah and Sam-

mamish residents. If it happens, it will make getting a high-quality education easier — and less expensive.

Bellevue College — no longer “just” a community col-lege — has a well-deserved reputation for providing quality instruction for degrees that lead straight into well-paying jobs. WSU is one of the state’s major research universities and already has an association with BC through its online degree program.

As any parent knows, the cost of getting a college educa-tion has been rising precipitously over the past few years, not only from the cost of tuition, but also books and living expenses. Being able to better control the cost of at least one of those factors — not having to go away to school — can signi� cantly lessen the concern of graduating college with a heavy debt.

Bellevue College has, for years, helped local students control costs by providing the � rst two years of a four-year education through an easy commute to the school’s Bel-levue campus just o� Interstate 90. It’s worked. In the last year, 309 BC graduates were accepted to attend Wash-ington State University in Pullman. In addition, 392 BC students were accepted to University of Washington’s main campus and 200 more to its Bothell campus.

Even better for students here, the college owns property in the Issaquah Highlands for a future branch campus.

� ere are lots of steps and discussions yet to come for both BC and WSU. What’s needed, of course, is a win-win situation for both schools. And, of course, for students as well.

— Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Gov. Jay Inslee says he approached the upcoming session of the Legislature “very di� erently” than he did in his � rst two years as the state’s chief

executive.In 2014, he talked about the need to hold steady and al-

low the recession to recede enough for residents and busi-nesses to begin righting themselves. He o� ered an array of policy ideas and nudged lawmakers to pass them. When

they didn’t act on a transportation package he sounded politely frustrated. And when they le� Olympia on time, he couldn’t contain his pleasure.

Inslee stopped holding steady in mid-December when he put forth arguably the largest — friends say boldest — tax-and-spend proposal of any governor in state history.

His desire to inject billions of ad-ditional dollars into public schools and the transportation system and pay for

it with proceeds from new taxes on carbon emissions and capital gains is the kind of stu� Inslee’s stoutest allies have been waiting to see from him since he took o� ce.

Inslee is smart enough to know it won’t be easy to get his ambitious agenda through a Republican-controlled Senate with any of its signature pieces intact, let alone in its entirety.

He says his ideas are intended to start a conversation with lawmakers so now he will be watched closely to see how he carries on the conversation. Inslee’s been criticized for not engaging deeply enough in the rigors of negotiat-ing agreements and, when he does submerge himself, it’s

not as an arbiter or mediator, but as a partisan participant.With two years under his belt, he’s expecting a di� erent

tack this session.“I know legislators better,” he said. “Having longer

relationships help.”In the meantime, what transpires in this session will be

part of the foundation on which the 2016 gubernatorial election will be conducted. � at adds an intriguing and di� erent element to the session as well.

Inslee — and any Republican state lawmaker contem-plating a challenge to the Democratic governor — will want to be viewed by the public as a uniting, not polar-izing � gure. Yet, at the same time, they can’t be tabbed as sellouts by the grassroots of their own parties.

� ere are those eyeing Inslee through the prism of politics and think he has the most to lose by what occurs this session. Some might even think it will make or break his chances at re-election.

“� e people who have the most to lose here are our grandchildren. � ey are in great jeopardy,” Inslee said, his voice braced with passion as he slipped easily into a rhetorical rhythm about his agenda.

Doing nothing this session puts four- and � ve-year-olds in Washington in jeopardy of not getting access to early childhood education, growing up in a cleaner environ-ment and being able to get to work, he said.

“� ey are the people at risk here, not me,” he said.

Participants in the development of Issaquah’s Homewood Suites by Hilton stand by the beam they signed to mark the topping off of the facility Jan. 9. The extended-stay hotel is being built in the Hyla Crossing neighborhood, located at I-90 just off exit 15 and SR 900. The 123-suite hotel will be owned by Rowley Properties, Inc., and is being constructed by GLY. The hotel is slated to open this summer.

substance abuse and mental illness.

Regarding tourism, Butler pointed to the com-munication department’s November launch of the “Legendary Issaquah” cam-paign, a series of three TV spots featuring Sasquatch and shot at city locales and during entertainment events like Salmon Days

over the course of sum-mer and early fall. � e vid-eos had reached 650,000 people

in the western United States and Canada, he said.

Indeed, as of Jan. 13 and nearly two months a� er their initial release, the “Legendary Issaquah” spots had become the second, third and fourth most viewed videos — behind a 2013 mock DUI spot produced at Issaquah High School — on the city of Issaquah YouTube channel, with more than 50,000 views combined.

In 2015, Butler said the city would work to preserve Olde Town, recruit new businesses, explore housing options for the Central Issaquah Plan area and continue the � nancial prac-tices that earned a Standard & Poor’s AAA bond rating in May.

“During this evolu-tion, one thing that has remained unchanged is our service excellence,” Butler said.

Speaking for the Is-saquah School District, Supt. Ron � iele empha-sized the value of schools to the economic prosperity of their service areas. Public schools attract businesses, families and maintain property values, he said. He also boasted of the area’s “highest PTSA member-ship in the state.”

In 2014, the district completed three collective bargaining agreements, had seen success with elemen-tary literacy programs, rolled out computerized evaluations systems for teachers and administrators and installed a generator at district o� ces to ensure continued operations dur-ing blackouts — a problem that repeatedly plagued the city during windstorms over the course of the year.

Looking toward 2015, � iele said serious plan-ning had begun on the alternative school that will

replace Tiger Mountain Community High School and that training continued to familiarize teachers with federal Common Core standards.

Acknowledging popular criticism of the Common Core, � iele said he had faith that Issaquah students could rise to the new expectations.

“We’ve been through this before: We saw it in the early ‘90s, with education reform,” he said, referring to the 1994 reauthoriza-tion of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act under the Clinton admin-istration.

Addressing the written threats found at Paci� c Cascade Middle School three days before winter break, � iele said life at the campus was returning to normal and that campuses would see updated access protocols, including key cards, electronic locks and video surveillance.

“I absolutely believe our schools are safe and we have years of … data con-� rming that,” � iele said. “Schools and school buses are still among the safest places to be.”

� e true challenge facing the district in the future, � iele said, is the potential for the rapid growth of the student population to out-pace construction of new facilities. Approximately 550 additional students enrolled in district schools in the past year and the district projects up to 2,000 new students over the next � ve.

Complicating matters is the passage of voter Initia-tive 1351 in the 2014 gen-eral election. � e initiative, which requires full funding for the measure by 2017 but identi� es no funding source, mandates limited class sizes at all grade levels. Implementation will force the district to scramble for more classrooms and more teachers — to the tune of 100 classrooms beyond the scope of current construc-tion projects, � iele said.

Regardless, the superin-tendent added that “Our future as a school system and community is very bright.”

LEADERSCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

� at situation has made some members of the city council anxious.

Randy Young, a consul-tant hired by the city from Henderson Young & Co. of Redmond to assist in the cra� ing of the bill, said such a funding gap was not out of the norm.

“Is this unusual that a city embarks on this type of exercise?” Councilmem-ber Stacy Goodman asked Young in the midst of a lengthy discussion on the gap at the council’s Jan. 12 work session.

“It’s not very typical, no,” Young said, noting that most Puget Sound cities don’t treat their projected growth as being spoken for.

� e spoken for growth in question is assigned to the Central Issaquah Plan, a prominent piece of 2012 legislation concerning the 1,100 acres surrounding the Interstate 90 corridor. � e area extends from the base of the Highlands and Lake Sammamish State Park to Newport Way and Holly Street. � at plan was designed to unify an area of decentralized commercial

properties into a planned ur-ban core over 20 years, using land rezones and stream-lined permitting and review processes to drive develop-ment straight to Issaquah’s gut. Consequently the city’s Development Services department, in cra� ing the transportation concurrency updates, tailored growth and tra� c projections to the city’s great expectations for that area and projected little growth outside of it.

� us those great expecta-tions became an additional wrinkle in the city’s discus-sions over transportation concurrency — though such considerations are not a required part of concur-rency under the Growth Management Act, as noted by Council President Paul Winterstein.

At the Dec. 8 work ses-sion, Young identi� ed new sales taxes, road levies, property tax-funded bonds and local fees on car tabs and business licenses as poten-tial revenue sources that, combined, would more than cover the $191 million. At the time, he noted that those measures could be a di� cult

sell to the public: Voters would need to sign o� on the measures that involved local taxes, as well as any car tab fee above $20.

On Jan. 12, Young as-serted citizens would likely act in their own interest as needs became apparent.

“At some point, people become fed up enough with transportation they’re willing to pay for it,” he said.

But Councilmember Joshua Schaer had a di� erent perspective: “I’m hoping we can address that before they’re fed up.”

A major change to Is-saquah’s plan, if approved, is the institution of a manyfold increase on tra� c impact fees imposed on new de-velopment. For example, a developer building a single-family home currently pays $1,760 in tra� c impact fees but would pay $7,904 under the new plan.

Questioned regarding the amount of the fees, Young said he did not think they were “arti� cially low.”

Rather, tra� c impact fees

can legally, as dictated by the Growth Management Act, only recover the tra� c costs reasonably associated with a development project. In road-congested Issaquah, where 70 percent of car trips are people just passing through town according to Development Services Director Charlie Bush, that means those revenues are a drop in the bucket.

“We still have a transpor-tation problem if nobody comes (to new developments in the city),” Councilmember Mary Lou Pauly said. It was a point where she and Schaer were in agreement, though Pauly added that she did not share Schaer’s concerns about the funding gap.

Councilmember Tola Marts likewise asserted it was not an immediate con-cern: “I don’t think we’re go-ing to go away, pat ourselves on the backs and, four to � ve years from now, say ‘Hey, didn’t we need to come up with 120 million bucks?’”

of his initial conversations with Rule. "We're just be-ginning to explore ways in which the two institutions can work in a very collab-orative way."

If any joint venture is to be developed, whether it be to emerge as a combina-tion two-year and four-year university or some kind of hybrid college, Rule said the campus still will have open enrollment as well as low-cost tuition and continue to o�er adult basic education, English as a second language and other low-cost classes focused on helping people better their education.

"My role is to maintain those in these conversations while enhancing our stu-dents’ opportunities," Rule said. "We want to o�er as many pathways as possible for people to achieve their academic goals."

Floyd echoed Rule's sentiment, stating new opportunities for students are paramount as these conversations continue.

For years Bellevue Col-lege has served as a "feeder" school to the state's four-year universities. In the past year 392 students were accepted to the University of Washington's main cam-pus, 200 were accepted to its Bothell campus and 309 graduates were accepted to attend Washington State University in Pullman.

While the conversation has just started, Rule was optimistic about the po-tential partnership and the college's future, he said.

Other potential solu-tions Rule and his sta� are exploring stem from ques-tions whether the school could become a standalone university or continue as is within the community college structure. �e latter option seems unlikely as the school's need to grow has not kept up with state funding.

Over the course of the next several months, both presidents' teams will identify ways in which they think will provide the opti-mal partnership opportuni-ties, Floyd said.

As the conversations continue, Rule's team will simultaneously investigate the potential of building on-campus housing for students and a possible overhaul of its sports facili-ties.

During last week's meet-ing, Spectrum Solutions unveiled its preliminary student housing feasibility study.

If school o�cials decide to pursue the proposed 145,000 square foot, $44.2 million project, it would include 350 beds divided up into an "apartment style" housing development of single rooms as well as two- and four-bedroom units.

Each would come fully furnished with rental rates of about $900 a month, which would include all of

the tenants utilities, accord-ing to the proposal.

Of the three sites ex-amined for the proposed housing facility, Spectrum Solutions' Hal Ferris told the board the land near the school's baseball �eld was by far the best because it al-ready had the infrastructure for water, sewer and elec-tricity. Currently a parking lot, the loss of spaces would be "minimal" compared to other sites owned by the college, Rule said.

Ferris said the school could make roughly $400,000 annually from the rents beyond its operating services and debt.

�e board also was pre-sented with several options for a new 158,000 square-foot soccer and so�ball �eld along with a 14,019 square-foot �eld house.

Projected at roughly $12 million, the new facility, which would be built below the school's baseball �eld, could feature indoor bat-ting cages, golf simulators, meeting rooms, classrooms, concessions, box o�ce and capacity for roo�op seating.

Board members said they needed time to speak with students, the school foundation and Bellevue of-�cials to determine the level of interest and whether the costs could be met for both projects.

If WSU and Bellevue College do form a partner-ship, it could serve as a large �nancial source to help pay for both.

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Skyline Spartans boys basketball head coach Bill McIntyre shouted words of instruction at the top of his lungs throughout the fourth quarter during his team's rivalry contest against the Issaquah Eagles. Unfortunately for Mc-Intyre, his directives couldn't be heard by his players down the stretch due to the raucous crowd noise in the Issaquah High School gymnasium.

"I was yelling for plays every time but they couldn't hear me," McIntyre said. "I didn't really do much in terms of coaching. � ey just took it on their own shoulders and guys stepped up and made some big shots."

� e Spartans, who trailed the Eagles 63-54 midway through the fourth quarter, outscored the Eagles 22-10 to � nish the game with a 76-73 win on Jan. 9. Skyline improved its overall record to 6-5 with the win while Issaquah dropped to 8-4.

Robert Biegaj scored a team-high 26 points for Skyline and played a pivotal role in his team's comeback in the fourth stanza. Biegaj hit two three-

pointers in Skyline's signature 12-0 run in the fourth quarter. Biegaj buried a three-pointer as the shot clock expired with 3:22 le� in regulation, giving Sky-line a 66-63 lead.

"We just stayed together. � at is the biggest key of our team. We stay together, trust our system and trust our game-plan," Biegaj said. "It's an amazing feeling. We played them in fall league and we noticed some mistakes that we

had made. I'm glad we came out here and � xed it and I'm glad we pulled it out."

Skyline couldn't contain Issaquah guard Tyler Gibson. Gibson scored a team-high 26 points in the loss.

"Gibson had a great game. 'Did he miss? Did he have 40 (points)?' Both teams played well. We were fortunate

Dreams of making a return trip to the Tacoma Dome are undoubtedly ingrained in the minds of the Issaquah Eagles boys basketball team.

Flash back to 10 months ago: � e Issaquah Eagles hoisted a third place trophy at the Class 4A state basket-ball tournament at the Tacoma Dome. � e Eagles nearly

advanced to the championship game, losing to the Gar� eld Bulldogs 61-59 in the semi� nals in a contest featuring 18 lead changes and 19 ties. Following the loss to Gar� eld, the Eagles made a state-ment with 60-49 win against the Todd Beamer Titans in the third place/fourth place game.

� e 2014-15 boys basketball season is essentially at its halfway point and the Eagles are proving themselves to be a contender to return to the Class 4A state tournament at the Tacoma Dome

in two months. � e Eagles have put together an overall record of 8-4 including a 7-1 record in KingCo league play thus far. If the Eagles do indeed make the 40-mile trek down the Interstate 5 corridor this March, it will be behind their swarming defense and attention to detail on both sides of the � oor.

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world

of sports and recreation

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A 47-45 loss to the Rainier Beach Vikings boys basketball team in the Class 3A state championship game last March serves as a pillar of motivation for the Eastside Catholic Crusaders boys team.

Crusaders' senior shooting guard Max Hudgins, who will play basket-ball at Westmont College in Southern California next season, said the loss is on the mind of everyone associated with the Eastside Catholic boys basketball program.

"We think about it every day. We just

want to be that much better this year than we were last year," Hudgins said.

� e Crusaders have put together a respectable 11-2 record through the � rst half of the 2014-15 season. � e Crusaders only losses were to First Baptist Academy and Rainier Beach.

Hudgins said his ability to knock down shots from the perimeter is his best attribute.

"Shooting de� nitely is what I do best. I think I have a pretty quick release, which allows me to get my shot o� quickly," he said.

Recently the Issaquah Reporter had an opportunity to ask Hudgins a few

questions about his life away from the basketball court.

Issaquah Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Max Hudgins: "� e Warrior." It was an emotional, serious and it kind of motivated me.

IR: What is your biggest pet peeve?MH: When people smell really bad. IR: How many text messages do you

send per day?MH: I send maybe around 100 every

day. I text a lot. IR: If you could pick one person to go

to dinner with, who would it be?MH: Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls

NBA basketball player). He's a great role model.

IR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

MH: I was part of the Chess club in fourth grade.

IR: What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

MH: I recently saw "Unbroken."

MAXHUDGINS

56-47 on Jan. 3 in their � rst contest since returning from the Holiday Classic in Palm Springs in the last week of December. � e Eagles may have gone 1-3 at the tourney, but they returned home with a renewed sense of purpose and led from start to � nish against a formidable New-port squad. � e Eagles split their next two contests, registering a 75-62 win against the Bothell Cougars on

Jan. 6 before su� ering a 76-73 loss to the Skyline Spartans on Jan 9.

� e backcourt consisting of co-captains Tyler Gibson and Jason Crandall set the tone for the Eagles in all aspects of the game. � ey’re great shooters from the perimeter and play a tough, hard-nosed defen-sive style that permeates throughout the rest of the squad. � e 2014-15 season still is fairly young, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Issaquah Eagles to punch their ticket to the state tournament for the second consecutive season.

that we scored a couple of more buck-ets than they did," McIntyre said.

McIntyre said getting a victory against the Eagles, who captured third place at the Class 4A state tourna-

ment during the 2013-14 season, is a monumental achievement for his basketball pro-gram.

"We knew we had a chance to do some-thing special and we did it. I'm just super proud of them."
