CATCHING UPBond would rebuild Issaquah’s oldest schoolhouses
BY CELESTE [email protected]
A waterfall of rain pours down on Sunny Hills Elementary, slops over the gutters and splashes onto its out-
door walkways.Sidestepping one of many puddles, Princi-
pal Sarah White � ips up her hood and heads for the 11 portables that make up much of her campus.
� e wooden structures have been a � xture at Sunny Hills for so long, they’re counted among the 31 permanent classrooms. Some have even seen remodels.
� ey’re the biggest reason why White is hoping for a new school; the list of needs – including gutters that don’t behave like water fountains – continues to grow as the 1960s facility ages.
A new school building, ticketed at $27 million, is among the top projects in the Issaquah School District’s hopes to pay for through its April bond.
“We’re so excited,” White said. “� e sta� al-ready talks about ‘When we get a new school building…’”
� e district is asking residents to pay $219 million over the next eight years. � e bond would replace an expiring one with a lower
tax rate.For the past two decades, the district’s
focus has been on keeping up with growth. Since 1991, the student population has almost doubled in size.
“It was a tough challenge to keep buildings coming up fast enough,” said Steve Crawford, director of capital projects.
While the district scrambled to � nd space for students to sit, thoughts of renovating older schools like Sunny Hills and Liberty High School were put on hold.
April’s bond would rebuild ISD’s oldest
facilities. It also comes with perks such as $12 million for football stadiums at each high school.

� e Issaquah Salmon Hatchery is hosting its � rst major fundrais-er for saving the Kokanee Salmon.
� e fresh water � sh, which looks much like a sockeye, is nearing extinction. However, it failed to make the federal govern-ment’s endangered species clas-si� cation last year.
� e Coho Café plans to cater the event at 6 p.m., March 23 at the hatchery.
“� is possible extinction is literally happening right in our own backyard and if a community as educated and a� uent as King County cannot turn this critical situation around, then I’m not sure there is hope,” said Heather VanDorn, catering manager at Coho Café.
� e hatchery began a program a couple years ago to spawn the � sh in streams that run through Issaquah and Sammamish. � e costly process requires sta� to hall water from the streams to the hatchery, so the � sh will learn the scent.
Tickets to the event are $60 and available at the Coho Café or by phone at 425-391-4040.

The Issaquah School District delayed school for two hours Tuesday because of a snow drift, which quickly melted from the roads. However, it didn’t stop this Liberty High School student from staying in style. The girl chose stiletto sandals, complete with a flower pattern. Her friend helped her across the student parking lot in Uggs, which aren’t water proof, but probably less treacherous.When teased about the choice from school district staff member, she replied, “It’s supposed to be March.” celeste Gracey, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Take a drive through Klahanie and it might resemble more of a state park than a neighborhood.
At least that’s the look the community’s preservation club is going for.
“We spend an awful lot of time, e� ort and funds in keeping those natural areas as free as possible from invasive, non-native plants,” said Bonnie Anderson, chair of the Natural Areas Association of Klahanie.
� e hard work has paid o� in recent years as the 300-acre neighborhood was recognized with various awards by the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, the Eastside Audubon Society, King County’s Nox-ious Weeds department, the Urban Grant program and the Humane Society of the United States, which certi� ed Klahanie as an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary.
According to Anderson, a 25-year resident of Klahanie, things weren’t always this way.
“If you would have seen our natural areas eight or 10 years ago, they are night and day,” she said, noting there used to be an abundance of ivy, Scot’s Broom, blackber-ries and several other invasive species.
In order to combat the non-native plants, NAAK was formed approximately seven years ago by a former community member.
Anderson took the reigns in 2007 and has since played a major role in the res-toration of native forests, wetlands and a
12,000-year-old bog. � e club currently has three other members, including Walt Black, Diane Weinstein and Barb Justice. Community manager Marta Mckie works with all of them and several community volunteers to maintain the health of natural areas.
While NAAK itself has done a lot of projects, Anderson has also found several useful partners along the way, including EarthCorps and Puget Sound Energy.
Two years ago, PSE began removing large portions of invasive plant species and replaced them with more than 3,000 native
plants near the power line system that runs through the middle of Klahanie.
“It’s worked out from a partnership standpoint that we’re both gaining,” An-derson said. “PSE is � nding locations to meet their needs, and we’re gaining because we’re getting a lot of work done and a lot of plants for free.”
PSE has been involved in three major projects since 2010, including the restora-tion of large hillside, providing the supplies for a native garden and most recently, the removal a large portion of invasive plants near the power lines this February.
� e native plant garden, which was completed in December 2010 by the Troop 682 Den 6 Webelos, was funded by PSE. It contains a wide variety of species including colorful plants like the Nootka rose and red � owering currant. It also has a detailed interpretive sign placed out front to inform residents.
“When we talk about native plants to the community they can actually go to a garden and see some samples of native plants and how really beautiful they are and how they might � t into their gardens,” Anderson said.
Anderson said NAAK plans to continue to work with PSE and other organizations to maintain Klahanie’s natural beauty — as there’s always work to do.
“Klahanie is very dedicated to keeping this asset that we have, both for the rec-reational activities we have for the people who live here and the wildlife who visit us,” she said.

Editor’s Note: Patrick Rexroat was sentenced to four years in prison March 9 for the drunk driving accident that killed Steve Lacey of Kirkland..
Let’s holddrunk driversaccountableBY REP. ROGER GOODMAN
My neighbor in Kirkland, Steve Lacey, was a father of two, a Google engineer headed to Costco on a sunny weekend a� ernoon when a
drunk driver killed him.
I drive that way all the time. It could have been me. Or maybe you.
� e drunk driver who pleaded guilty this week to killing Steve had a 0.29 blood-alcohol level, three times the legal limit. Pat-rick Rexroat might
only serve 32 months in prison, a� er taking “earned early release” time into account.
But Steve Lacey’s wife and kids have lost Steve forever. � at doesn’t feel like justice to me. We need to be tougher on drunk drivers.
Because you’re three times more likely to get maimed or killed on our roads than at the hands of a violent criminal.
And because no child should ever have to lose a mom or dad in a senseless car wreck.
� at’s why I’m continuing my ag-gressive � ght to reduce deaths and injuries from drunk driving. I’m calling for stronger laws that make it impossible to vacate DUI felonies and that add cameras to ignition interlock devices, so o� enders can’t game the system (HB 2443).
We need to pay attention to the kids. I say it’s time to increase penal-ties for drunk driving whenever there’s a minor in the car (HB 2302). I’ve heard horrifying 911 calls from kids driven by drunk parents - in-credible!
And what about Steve Lacey’s kids? Locking up drunk driver Pat-rick Rexroat won’t bring Steve back. As his wife, Nabila Lacey, wrote to me, she and her kids have been sen-tenced to a life without Steve, with no possibility of parole.
� e same is true for all children whose parents are killed by drunk drivers.
I propose requiring DUI o� end-ers who kill to pay child support for the kids of their victims. � at’s true accountability, and it’s fair. Why should a surviving mom or dad be forced to work two jobs – or sell the family home and move into an apartment? It wouldn’t cost taxpay-ers anything to require DUI killers to do the right thing.
As taxpayers we spend a lot of money arresting, prosecuting and locking up rapists, robbers and murderers. As we should. � ose who threaten public safety need to be stopped.
But the fact is that year a� er year, the deaths and serious injuries on our roadways vastly exceed the damage in� icted by violent crimi-nals.
I’m proud I’ve helped Washington pass strong laws that have sharply reduced DUI fatalities on our roads and highways. But hundreds of our neighbors, like Steve Lacey, are still being killed by drunk drivers every year.
As long as the carnage continues, we need to ask: Is there more we can do?
� e answer is clearly “Yes!” Police, prosecutors and victims-rights groups agree that we should increase accountability for o� enders and pro-tections for victims by passing the stronger laws.
Most importantly, we must change the culture, so friends don’t let friends drive a� er they’ve had “just had a few.” Ever. It’s not worth a life.
If you drink and drive and kill someone, you shouldn’t be able to serve a couple years and then move on with your life. Not while your victims pick up the pieces. Not when the cost to society and taxpay-ers is so high.
Let’s hold drunk drivers more accountable for a lifetime of damage caused to victims’ families. Let’s do it now.
Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirk-land) represents the 45th Leg-
islative District, which includes Sammamish. He is vice chair of
the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee and vice chair of the Judiciary Committee.
The Issaquah School District is asking voters to give it $219 million on April 17 to rebuild its oldest schools and make improvements and mod-
ernizations at many others.The money is needed and voters should say yes to
this bond issue.Today’s issue features a report by staff writer Celeste
Gracey that outlines numerous problems with the district’s old schools. Not only are they in disrepair, but also they don’t come close to meeting the needs of our students.
Consider: Clark and Sunny Hills elementary schools and Issaquah Middle School each are more than half a century old. There simply is no way a school that old can give our kids the tools they will need to succeed in life.
There are other critical needs that the bonds will ad-dress. Modernizations and/or renovations are planned for a number of elementary schools, including Apollo, Challenger, Cougar Ridge, Discovery, Endeavour, Grand Ridge, Issaquah Valley, Maple Hills, Sunset, Beaver Lake, Maywood and Pine Lake. There also is money for needed improvements, modernizations, and/or renovations at all the district’s high schools. Liberty High School particularly needs help.
How bad is bad? How about failing roofs, windows, and fl oors; old heating, electrical, and mechanical sys-tems; and inadequate security and safety features.
As expensive as $219 million sounds, this is a good time to sell bonds since construction costs are at histor-ic lows. In addition, the district will get the long-term benefi ts that come from new buildings operating about 30 percent more effi ciently that old ones.
So, then, what’s the bottom line, fi nancially speak-ing?
Surprisingly, if the bond passes, the owner of a $500,000 home will pay about $200 LESS per year. That fi nancial magic happens because previous bonds that are being retired will save voters more than the new bonds add.
The retiring bond debt will drop the tax rate from $4.85 to $4.05 per $1,000 of assessed property value; approval of the new bond will bump the estimated tax rate up to only about $4.42, signifi cantly less that the current rate.
Because bonds are like a home mortgage – and affect taxpayers over a number of years – it takes a “super majority” yes vote, that is, “60 percent plus one” to approve them.
Voters need to make this issue a priority since other “hot button” issues and races won’t be on the bal-lot. The district has prepared a needed and carefully thought out blueprint for our schools. Voters should to say “yes.”
– Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
SAY ‘YES’� e Issaquah District’s bond

The following information was compiled from Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:
A man repeatedly visited the Issaquah jail in hopes of getting committed there instead of in Seattle where he was convicted of his crimes.
The Issaquah jail has a reputation for being one of the nicest in the state. At one time someone famous paid to serve his time there.
On three occasions March 2-3 a man brought his commitment papers to the jailhouse, upset with the officers who wouldn’t take him. He threatened to make them arrest him, but they assured him any new crimes would just add to his sentence.
The officers finally of-fered him a ride to the Seattle jail. He accepted.
train campPolice found a transient
camp was established inside an old railroad car at the Issaquah History Museums’
train depot March 3.The officer advised the
museums to clean it up and secure it so transients would come back.
snatch and runA woman called police
March 9 after she watched a man grab a package off her front door step of her Sammamish home, jump in the passenger side of a green SUV and take off northbound on 236 Av-enue Northeast.
The box contained $60 worth of herbal sweeteners.
Drunken motherPolice were dispatched to
the Boys and Girls Club at Samantha Smith Elemen-tary Monday, March 5 after a mother allegedly came to school to try and pick up her children while drunk.
Two girls were upset and said their mom was “acting wired” and refused to get in the car with her. When a daycare official confronted the woman, she said she could smell a
strong odor of intoxicants. A brief argument ensued and the woman took her son and left her two daughters behind.
When police arrived at the woman’s home, they detected a strong odor of intoxicants, but due to significant amount of time elapsing, couldn’t deter-mine when she last had a drink.
The officer explained to the woman he would be forwarding his observa-tions on to Child Protec-tive Services.
Window of opportunity
A Sammamish resident reported someone entered his home March 9 and stole a laptop and a digital camera with two lenses, valued at $1,400.
It appeared the burglars entered the home in the 2200 block of 226th Place Northeast through an open window on the side of the garage.
Drunk – and moreAn employee of a Sam-
mamish grocery store called police just after midnight on March 9 after
an intoxicated man was found lying face down near the front of the store in the 2900 block of 228th Avenue Southeast.
When the officer tried to talk to the man, he be-gan rolling around on the floor, staggered to his feet and became belligerent by swearing at the officer and looking at him with an “evil stare.”
The man twice blew a .278 on the portable breathalyzer. Medics eventually took him to the hospital for involuntary detox after he vomited on the grocery store floor and soiled himself.
Up in smokeFour juveniles were
found inside a parked in a Sammamish neighbor-hood March 3 with a milky white substance floating through the air.
When an officer ap-proached the vehicle, he detected a strong odor of marijuana — strong enough to where it left a foul taste in his mouth.
The officer found a plastic container with 15.3 grams of marijuana, a bong and a pipe.

When Sandra Scherzinger’s mother fell ill, her priorities abruptly changed.
Having to provide full-time care, the Sammamish resident could no longer work outside her home. She also couldn’t afford to quit her career.
That’s when the former toy store manager got an idea.
“I looked at where I thought there was a need and came up with the concept of building an online educational toy store,” she said.
Scherzinger, her hus-band Ted, and daughter Megan, launched home-based 4 Knowledge-4 Fun on Feb. 7. They have 390 items for sale on their website and have used Sandra’s former toy connections to obtain 40 different vendors.
“We’re not an eBay business,” Sandra said. “We are a stand alone, family busi-ness.”
The Scherzingers aren’t an rarity. Accord-ing to Sammamish Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director Deb Sogge, there are more than 4,000 home businesses licensed on the Plateau.
“There so many licensed, but we don’t see them,” she said.
On Saturday, the Chamber hosted its first ever Home Business Expo as a chance to meet entrepreneurs while allowing home-based operations to showcase their products.
“We’ve been calling them hidden trea-sures for years, so it was about time we started showing them off,” Sogge said.
Forty different exhibi-tors made their way to the Sammamish EX3 Teen & Recreation Cen-ter, ranging from limou-sine service to jewelry makers and everything in between.
“It’s great, I had no idea there were so many home-based businesses in Sammamish,” resident Matt Sentena said. “It’s been informative.”
For business owners like Cindy Houot, the expo was an opportunity to get out in the commu-nity and meet potential customers. The owner of Angel Heart Designs, a hand-made ceramic com-
pany, she has sold items worldwide. Her most famous transaction came a couple of years ago when she sold 100 ceramic

“I signed each one, ‘Cindy Houot, Angel Heart Designs, Sammamish, Washington,’” she said. “I wanted them to know abso-lutely everything.”
However, when it came to gaining local recognition, opportunities were limited — at least until Saturday.
“I think it’s nice that home-based businesses have a place where they can be recognized and found out about,” said Houot, who
also hosts ceramic classes and children’s tea parties.
Scherzinger agreed the opportunity was priceless.
“We think it’s a re-ally good idea to let people know what’s out there,” she said, noting 4 Knowledge-4 Fun delivers all over the world, but will gi� wrap and hand deliver all local orders.
With Saturday’s posi-tive community turnout, it’s likely the chamber will continue similar events in the future.
“We want Sammamish to be a place where people want to build their busi-ness and preserve their business,” said Chamber President Jason Weil.

Last week, Village � eatre announced its 2012-2013 Mainstage Season lineup, set to open in mid-September.
� e shows include classic musicals, “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Chicago,” “Big River,” the play, “Mousetrap,” and “Trails,” a new musical” developed through Village Originals.
Village Executive Producer Robb Hunt said musicals are selected through listening to audience and perform-er feedback.
“A� er 32 years in Issaquah, announcing this season is just as exciting as it was in 1979,” said Hunt, who noted the loyal season ticket-holders the theater has developed throughout the years.
Of Village’s more than 18,000 subscribers, 5,281 have been season ticket-holders for more than 10 years.
Here’s a break-down of the 2012-2013 season:
Big RiverSept. 12-Oct. 21
� is retelling of Mark Twain’s novel, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” ran for more than 1,000 performanc-es on Broadway.
Fiddler on the RoofNov. 7-Dec. 30
� is Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical has entertained audiences for nearly 50 years. It includes some of the most beloved songs in musical theater such as, “Sunrise, Sunset,” “Matchmaker,” and “If I Were A Rich Man.”
The Mousetrap Jan. 16-Feb. 24
Written by Agatha Christie, “� e Mousetrap” is the longest-running play in modern history, tracking more than 24,500 performances to date. It’s the tale of eight inhabitants stranded by a snowstorm, one murderer, and one nameless target — but how many will get hit in the cross� re?
Trails March 13 to April 21
Two long-lost childhood friends drop everything to embark upon the journey of a lifetime: a 2,175-mile trek from Georgia to Maine along the Appalachian Trail. Long-kept secrets come to the surface and ghosts from the past haunt their steps.
Chicago May 8-June 29
� e longest running American musical in Broadway history, as well as an Academy Award-winning movie, “Chicago” is famous for its satire on institutional cor-ruption and the concept of the “celebrity criminal,” as well as for the signature dance stylings of Bob Fosse.
Village � eatre announces its 2012-2013 lineup

The Issaquah Valley Trolley rolled out of Issaquah Monday to begin a six-month restoration process in Iowa.
The $744,700 project to restore the trolley and its tracks to working order has taken a few years to fund and plan, but now its well underway.
The hope is that complete project will finish in time for Salmon Days next October. The line runs from the historic train depot behind Front Street to Gilman Village.
When it begins running, it should also
attract more people to the depot museum.Built in 1925, the car originally ran in
Lisbon, Portugal. The Issaquah History Museums acquired
it in 2003.“We are so excited to see the project
moving forward,” said Barbara Justice, a volunteer street car operator. “More than 6,000 riders came aboard in 2001 when we operated using a car leased from the Yakima Valley Trolley. We can’t wait to start up again – this time using our own streetcar.”
The Issaquah Valley Trolley was moved from its home at the Issaquah Train Depot onto a semi-truck so it might be restored to working order at a company in Iowa. Jean Cerar

When Jordan Hepperle decided she wanted to try lacrosse in 2007, she ran into a small problem.
Other hotbeds – Mercer Island and Bellevue – had been active in the sport for some time, but so few girls played the game on the youth level in Issaquah that when Hep-perle went to sign up for a team, she realized she would have to adjust her expectations.
“� ere were maybe three girls there,” Jordan said. “We were just put on a team.”
Without the numbers to � eld a girls team let alone a full program at that time, Hepperle was placed on an existing boys team and was introduced to the far more physical game played on the boys side.
“I didn’t even know there was a di� erent thing for girls,” Jordan said. “It didn’t really matter because
I knew a lot of the kids on the team and we were already friends.”
Jordan has continued playing, joining o� -season teams for tourna-ments and continuing to grow along with the sport, which has experi-enced a massive expansion in the area.
Just four years a� er Jordan was forced to play with the boys for lack of a team, her 11 year-old sister, Julia, joined a girls youth program that has six teams for girls in grades three through eight.
Watching the youth and high school programs grow has been especially exciting for the Hep-perle family, which includes the sisters and their mother, Jenny, who doubles as Issaquah Youth Lacrosse girls program director.
“It’s been really cool,” Jordan said of the game’s expansion in the area. “Some of the younger girls have only been playing two years less than the high schoolers, but they already
know so much about the game.” � roughout Washington, there
are 34 girls high school lacrosse pro-grams from Tacoma to Mulilteo. On the Eastside, 10 programs, broken down by school district (or school in the case of private schools like Eastside Catholic and Forest Ridge) cover Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, Kirkland and Mercer Island. In 2012, Bellarmine Prep, Highline, Gig Harbor and Graham-Kapowsin added programs as well.
� e Issaquah School District’s high school program (which also in-cludes those within the Snoqualmie Valley School District boundaries) has nearly tripled in size since it was formed in 2008 and will � eld varsity and JV squads this season with coaches Justin Waagbo and Penny Moss.
Both grew up in the birthplace of the game on the East Coast and
Ella Moss and her mother Penny, along with Julia, Jenny and Jordan Hepperle provide a � rst hand look at how girls lacrosse has taken o� in Issaquah and Sammamish in the past � ve years. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Defending state football champions will meet when Skyline hosts 2011 Florida 7A champion Manatee of Brandenton, Fla. on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Skyline High School.
� e game is planned to be nationally televised, ac-cording to Skyline Athletic Director Ryan Gilbert.
“I think it’s great,” Gilbert said of the opportunity to showcase his football program nationally against another recognized program. “� ey have a big time, national caliber quarterback and we obviously do too.”
Skyline will have Max Browne, who recently picked up an o� er from Alabama, the defending national champs of college football, a� er leading Skyline to the 4A state title. Manatee will counter with Cord Sand-berg, who took his Hurricanes to a 13-2 mark with nearly 2,200 yards and 19 touchdowns through the air to go with 10 scores and 800 yards on the ground.
Gilbert also con� rmed the Spartans are looking at another out-of-state opponent for 2012.
� e rumblings suggest that Skyline is looking at a trip to face the Cottonwood Colts from Salt Lake City, though that game is not � nalized and could not be con� rmed by Gilbert at this time.
� e time of the Manatee game is still TBD.

since relocating to the Paci� c Northwest have continued to grow the game in the Issaquah area.
“It just keeps getting bet-ter,” Moss said of the par-ticipation and performance level of the program. “Kids are able to play as young as second and third grade. I’ve coached my ninth graders this year since they were in � � h grade.”
� at is a signi� cant change for a program that won only a handful of games during its inaugu-ral season, primarily with � rst-time players.
While there are only a pair of newcomers to the program this season, Moss said many girls have been drawn to the sport in recent years as a way to get out of a club soccer scene that is increasingly intense and demanding.
“Soccer is so huge and there are so many levels and it’s just so competitive,” Moss said. “I think some kids are burnt out on it and are looking for something di� erent. It’s just some-thing new.”
But with the game’s growth on the youth level, it may very well be the norm for the next gen-eration of girls around the
Eastside. Five Eastside programs
including the Issaquah and Lake Washington school districts and Eastside Catholic School operate at the youth level with teams including � � h thru eighth graders.
Eastside Catholic Athletic Director Scott Garvis was one of the driv-ing forces behind getting lacrosse sanctioned by the state high school athletic association in Minne-sota and said he has seen a similar growth pattern in Washington.
At Eastside, nearly 90 percent of those playing la-crosse in the boys and girls programs were students who previously did not play a spring sport.
“� e more kids we can get connected to the school, the better atmo-sphere we have,” Garvis said. “Lacrosse is a huge addition to the spring pro-gram because you could be bringing up to 80 new kids out for sports between the boys and girls.

Michaela O’Rourke of Eastside Catholic continues to pile up the awards, earning invitations to a pair of all-star showcases, the Queen of the Hardwood Classic in Lakewood and the Washing-ton-North Idaho All-State game at Spokane’s West Valley High School.
“It’s really � attering,” O’Rourke said of the invites. “I’ve played with and against a lot of the girls playing in the games and it’s nice
to be counted among them.” � e Queen of the Hardwood will
be played on Saturday, Apr. 28 at Lakes High School in Lakewood and the game with fellow all-state selections from Washington and Idaho will be Saturday, June 23 at Spokane’s West Valley High School.
O’Rourke is still uncertain where she will continue her career and is currently weighing the options of playing at a Division III school or walking-on with the chance of earning a scholarship somewhere larger.
“We’re just trying to � nd the best option,” O’Rourke said, adding she hopes to study psychology.
O’Rourke was named player of the year for the 2011-2012 Metro League and also made the league’s First Team.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
Eastside Catholic baseball edges Skyline
Senior still weighing her college options
Bunsen burners – common lab equipment.
The district added the fans when it remodeled two of Liberty’s sci-ence labs, but the remaining science classrooms won’t get the improve-ments until another bond passes.
Before the remodel, teacher Alisa Jermica was in one of the least-equipped rooms. Her students worked on long tables instead of at lab stations – waist-high booths equipped with gas and plenty of electrical outlets.
Her space is now so enviable that she’ll occasionally swap rooms with teachers so they, too, can run larger experiments.
At first the district didn’t plan to fully remodel Liberty. The last capi-tal bond provided $15 million for a new performing arts space.
The project is now well under way. The finished product would be simi-lar to Issaquah High School with a 600-seat auditorium, orchestra pit and black box theater.
As a planning committee began filling out the details for the new arts center, DeLetis encouraged them to take a second look at Lib-erty.
The group decided the school needed more extensive improve-ments. The district got a head start by giving a few extra dollars for classroom remodels, including Jer-mica’s science lab.
The school is depending on April’s bond to provide another $44 million to finish the remodel.
The plan touches every part of Liberty’s campus, except the main gym, which received upgrades in the 1990s. The narrow A-frame entry-way would be combined with the student commons to create an open space. Administrative offices would move to the front of the school, giv-ing a better view of whose coming and going.
Heading to the ground floor of the classroom wing, DeLetis greets a teacher in the hall. It’s state test-ing week, but he wants to show the cramped classrooms.
Unlocking the door to a math room, he flips on the lights.
“We call it the bunker, because there are no windows,” he says.
Rooms that have windows aren’t much of an improvement. They’re just a bit larger than a dog door.
Plans for a remodel would provide enough natural light that most days
teachers won’t need to flip on all of the light switches, says Steve Craw-ford, director of capital projects.
New buildings use up to 30 per-cent less energy, because of natural light and better insulation. That’s operations money that can be spent on teachers and curriculum, he said.
The district can’t use saved capital projects money to pay teachers, but it can use the money to make the facilities as efficient and durable as possible. New buildings cost less to operate.
For DeLetis,
the remodel is as much an improve-ment for student learning as it is about the community taking pride in its high school.
“I think people want good schools,” he said. “That’s why people move to Issaquah (school district).”

Auburn man falls to death
An Auburn man plummeted to his death off Rattlesnake Ridge on March 9 in what so far appears to be an ac-cident.
Another hiker saw the 32-year-old man near the ledge. When the hiker looked back again, the man was gone. The hiker saw the man’s body laying 300 feet below.
He hiked down to find the man had died. Sheriff ’s deputies con-firmed his death.
A team of about 30 search and rescue responders helped carry the man’s body out. Rattlesnake Ridge is just east of Tiger Mountain and south of Sno-qualmie.
Fix A Leak Week in Issaquah
As part of national Fix A Leak Week, Cascade Water Alliance and the city of Issaquah sent toi-let leak detection mailers to about 100,000 homes throughout the county March 12.
The average American home wastes around 10,000 gallons of water each year from running toilets, dripping faucets and other household leaks, according to a Cascade press release.
The mailers include dye strips that help de-termine whether there is a leak. For more information on leaks and other conservation programs visit www.cascadewater.org.
St. Patty’s Day volunteers
The City of Sam-mamish Trail and Plant Stewards will lead a volunteer work party to plant and restore ap-
proximately 7,300 square feet of a wetland buffer near the upper park-ing lot of Evans Creek Preserve from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., March 17.
Volunteers will plant stakes (red and yellow dogwood) sword ferns and other plant materi-als at this site. They will also remove blackberry and ivy.
Attendees will need to wear heavy shoes, work gloves and to dress for the weather. The event will happen rain or shine.
Those interested should register at www.ci.sammamish.wa.us/vol-unteer/VolunteerAgree-ment.aspx.
Celebration time at IHS
Issaquah High School plans to celebrate the completion of its new facility with the public April 3.
The school is plan-ning a presentation on the construction project, tours of the building and student music and art showcases.
The event is at 6 p.m. at the new school, 700 2nd Ave. S.E. The per-forming arts wing was opened to students in the Fall, but the staff wanted to wait until the space received its final touches, before inviting the com-munity to celebrate.
The rebuild was result of a 2006 bond measure.
