Prepare for a sunny FourthBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

While it won’t be as hot as last week-end, it will be dry and sunny all the same on the Eastside this Fourth of July weekend.

“It’s definitely looking to be warmer than last year,” National Weather Ser-vice meteorologist Jonny Burg said.

Burg anticipates highs in the mid-80s throughout the weekend, which is about 10 degrees warmer than July 4, 2014.

This still doesn’t beat the 1972 record of 91 degrees for July 4. Data was taken from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Burg cautions against sending too much time in the sun, suggesting

Boy struck by car dies from injuriesBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A 4-year-old boy died from injuries to his brain and spine sustained after being struck by a car at the intersection of Newport Way Northwest and North-west Oakcrest Drive Friday morning.

The boy, identified by the King County Medical Examiner as Hao Chen Xu, died at Harborview Medical Center Saturday while he was with his parents, neighbor Hart Sugarman said.

Xu and his mother were crossing a pedestrian walkway outside the Oak-crest neighborhood where they lived when he was struck. His mother was physically uninjured.

According to the city of Issaquah, the 67-year-old Klahanie woman driving the car stopped and cooperated with Is-saquah police. Drugs or alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the accident.

Health workers picket Swedish

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Dozens of off-shift health care workers rallied outside Swedish Issaquah on Wednesday as part of an organized “informational picket” to bring at-tention to labor negotiations over Swedish Medical Center’s contracts with registered nurses, technical workers and service employees.

The contracts that covered those workers from 2011 to 2015 expired midnight July 1. Representa-tives for Swedish and SEIU Healthcare 1199NW have been in negotiations since April.

Deanna Tregoning, a nurse working in Swedish Issaquah’s intensive care unit and a union represen-tative in bargaining, noted that this is the union’s first time at the table with Swedish since it affiliated itself with Providence Health & Services in 2012.

Five minutes before noon on Wednesday,

Passers-by help by filling the bootBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Firefighters hit the pavement last week asking passers-by and drivers to fill their fire boots with donations to help save and improve lives of those fight-ing muscle diseases.

They collected, unof-ficially, nearly $9,000 total manning the Northeast Eighth Street and 228th Avenue Northeast intersec-tion in Sammamish and the Northwest Gilman Boule-vard and Front Street North intersection in Issaquah Friday, June 26.

For more than 20 years, Eastside Fire & Rescue members, as part of International Association of Firefighters Local 2878, have participated in the union’s national Fill The Boot campaign to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The nonprofit aims to improve the lives of those suffering from more than

40 muscle diseases, known as a hereditary condi-tion characterized by the progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles.

The IAFF partners with the Muscular Dystrophy Association in a national fundraising effort to help cure and treat these diseas-es, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy.

The association, which began in 1950, donates 77 cents of every dollar to medical supplies, therapy and research, according to the MDA website.

“It’s a good cause — something I’ve been doing for 27 ½ years,” Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 82 Capt. Pete Sandford said standing off to the side of Northeast Eighth Street in Sammamish Friday, June 26.

Sandford, along with several others, was on duty, distinguished by his navy blue uniform and vest. On duty officers took shifts

throughout the day.Off duty firefighters were

also on scene, some with their families. Firefighters collected money from 2-6 p.m.

Battalion Chief Dave Mc-Daniel said people donate “a little bit of everything,” ranging from spare change to checks.

Last year, Eastside fire-fighters raised about $3,000 per intersection, Eastside Fire & Rescue Lt. Dean deAlteriis said. DeAlteriis is the vice president of IAFF Local 2878. Since 2001, Local 2878 has raised more than $373,000, not includ-ing this years totals.

Eastside Fire & Rescue will take to the streets to fight muscular dystrophy again Sept. 18 in Issaquah, at Front Street North and West Sunset Way, Sam-mamish, at Northeast Eighth and 228th Avenue Northeast, and in North Bend, at Bendigo Boulevard South and North Bend Way, from 2-6 p.m.

A Personal Call to ActionIn 1980, an African Amer-

ican woman sat on an old dilapidated couch, shaking, as tears flooded her eyes. Legs covered with bruises, terrified, she held her infant daughter, trying to comfort her. Nearby, her four year old was curled in a fetal po-sition, moaning softly. The floor was littered with a bro-ken lamp, patches of hair, torn clothing, and crushed cereal. All grim reminders of her husband’s violence a few minutes ago. He was a 7 ft. 2” tall minister.

She remembered him put-ting his face close, his fists tight, as he knocked her to the ground. Her belly tight-ened with pain, fear, and dread for what he would do next. He yelled, “You little whore! Don’t you know I’m head of the house, and you have to do what I tell you! If you ever try to leave me again, I’ll kill us all!”

Sometime later, she heard the sound of the front door slamming. Temporarily alone, she called a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, and found connections to a network of advocates who provided the tools and re-sources she needed to be-come a survivor. Three very strong and brave African American senior women of faith were also always there to encourage and support her. The great combination of helpers was a key ingredi-ent in rediscovering her own voice, and learning that she deserved to be treated right.

I was that woman, and you too can make a difference in your own life, as well as others. We all have a respon-sibility to take action to end violence, so that no one has to suffer the pain of abuse ever again.

If you or someone you know needs help, find the domestic violence program in your community by visit-ing wscadv.org or calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

You can also make a differ-ence by raising money and awareness for domestic vio-lence prevention by register-ing for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

Core is 29th growth center in Puget Sound regionBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

On June 25, the Puget Sound Regional Council’s executive board approved an application from the city of Issaquah to designate a por-tion of the city’s valley floor as an official regional growth center.

The section of land —

roughly bounded to the north, south, east and west by Northwest Sammamish Road, Newport Way, the Pickering Trail and eastbound Exit 15 of Interstate Highway 90, re-spectively — is a key portion of the Central Issaquah Plan passed in 2012, designated to become the plan’s urban core and allow dense development up to 10 stories.

The Central Issaquah Plan has set a goal for 7,000 new homes and 19,000 new jobs in the urban core by 2031, embedded in a densely de-veloped “walkable” area. The

area is currently comprised of several low-rise shopping centers and other commercial space, including Pickering Place.

The regional growth center designation will give the urban core priority designa-tion for federal transportation dollars that flow through the Puget Sound Regional Council.

Issaquah’s regional growth center is the 29th designated by the regional council.

Like many fire chiefs in the area, Burg also en-courages people to attend planned firework events, to keep fire hazards to a minimum.

“In 2009 we had simi-larly dry weather before the Fourth and fire agencies had 302 fireworks-related fires,” Dave Nelson, speaking for the King County Fire Chiefs Association, said in a press release. “With this Fourth on a weekend, we expect a similar number of calls. People can reduce the po-tential of fireworks-related fires by attending a public display.”

Officials are also urging people to only call 911 in an emergency situation.

To report non-emergen-cies, illegal fireworks, call 425-837-3200 for Issaquah and (425) 836-5674 for Sammamish.

It is not surprising that there are fires burning in our state due to the extreme heat these last few weeks. As of this writing, there have been four major fires

— the largest of which is 14,000 acres in the Columbia National Wildlife refuge, near Royal City, Washington. Another big fire is burning near Winthrop, Washington, covering 3,500 acres. Both are just 50 percent con-tained. And it seems that summer has just begun. So, it is more than ironic that along with fire season, it is also fireworks season. According to the online maga-zine, Money, American consumers spend $13 million more on fireworks last year because July 4 fell on a Friday.

This coming weekend, with the holiday designated for Friday July 3, sets up a three-day weekend of an increased risk of fires and injury. The U.S. Consumer

Products Safety Commission reported that fireworks were involved in an estimated 11,400 injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in 2013. In our state last year, there were 45 fire-related fatalities. So why do we continue to allow consumer fireworks? It seems that for many, blowing up explosives over the holiday is practically a constitutional right. Yet exercis-ing this right costs millions of federal and local dollars to fight accidental fires and to treat victims. Local public safety organizations and hospitals are left to pick up the pieces. So of course, fireworks are not responsible for all fires, big or small. But the risk — however small, is simply not worth it. The Washington State Legislature has grappled for years to find enough more money to pay for schools. As our planet continues to warm, so will the incidence of fires. Just how will we pay for that?

Just not worth it

Why do we still allow consumer fireworks?

To the editorKing County’s ‘Best Starts for Kids’ tax levy will save money

State, county, and city officials joined with children’s health advo-cates to present the why and how of the Best Starts for Kids initiative June 17 at the Phinney Community Hall in Seattle.

State Representative Ruth Kagi, King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski, and Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess revealed details of the proposed November ballot measure.

“It’s the right thing to do, it’s also the fiscally responsible thing to do,” Dembowski said of the proposed 14-cent levy per $1,000 of assessed property value.

Jason Gortney of the Children’s Home Society of Washington told how toxic stress in young children leads to many physical and mental problems.

And “once they get behind,” Kagi said, “they tend to stay behind.”

Burgess said better childhood care means “much, much, lower involve-ment with the criminal justice sys-tem.”

The five-member panel addressed the 36th Legislative District Democrats monthly meeting, with a spirited Q&A following the hour-long slideshow and talks.

Jennifer DeYoung, a health care reform analyst for Public Health - Seattle & King County, said investing in early development prevents chron-ic disease, abuse, neglect, domestic violence and other crime.

The time is right, Dembowski said, for “ending the school-to-pris-on pipeline” that starts with school

suspensions, and continues with dropouts, unemployment, reliance on social-welfare programs, and imprisonment--all very costly to the taxpayer. “For a $400,000 home,” he said, Best Starts for Kids would cost “about a dollar a week.”

State budgetary battles make it unlikely much help will arrive from Olympia this year, Kagi said, but she expressed optimism that legisla-tors may eventually approve a capital gains tax.

The Best Starts for Kids levy would last six years, completing a “continu-um of response from early pregnancy to age five and beyond,” Burgess said, and extend “proven outcome pro-grams” from Seattle to the rest of King County.

“The vast majority of the county’s general fund,” King County Executive Dow Constantine has said, “is used to pay for the criminal justice system. . . when there’s a negative outcome in a person’s life.” Best Starts for Kids, he said, would “focus on prevention. This is how we will turn proven ideas into results, and how we will put every child in our region on a path toward success.”

DeYoung said the Gates Foundation is developing one of the programs the initiative may emulate.

The King County Department of Community and Human Services would oversee finances and reporting for Best Starts for Kids. According to the proposed King County ordi-nance, if the King County Council puts the measure on the ballot and voters approve it, community-based organizations could submit competi-tive bids for outcomes-focused con-tracts.

Fifty percent of levy revenue would

go to help children under age five and pregnant women, thirty-five percent to help children and youth ages five to 24, nine percent to the partner-ship between King County and The Seattle Foundation on Communities of Opportunity, and the final six per-cent for evaluation and data collec-tion to ensure delivery of “results for every child in King County.”

Philpot has worked for the city since 2008BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Sammamish Public Works Director and Assistant City Manager Laura Philpot took another position with the city of Maple Valley this week.

Philpot's last day working in Sam-mamish City Hall was June 26, before joining the Maple Valley team as its new public works director and community development director. Maple Valley is about 20 miles south of Sammamish and still within King County.

Jessi Bon, Sammamish parks director, will be the interim public works director until Philpot's position is filled.

Philpot left the city on "wonderful terms," Communications Director Tim Larson said.

"She did a great job here, and I'm sure she'll do a great job down there," Larson

said. "Everybody's really sorry to see her go."

Philpot was first hired as a Sammamish city engineer in July 2008. She was promoted to public works director in January 2011; she was named assistant city manager, in addition to being public works director, in March 2014.

Larson said the Maple Valley job is more conveniently located for Philpot, which was a key reason for taking the new position. She began working in the Maple Valley offices Monday, June 29.

Sammamish resident starts toy rental business out of homeBY MEGAN CAMPBELLTHE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Bringing play to the household just got easier.

“Play specialist” Karen Whittier, driven by the firm belief that play is the best way for children to learn, started the delivery-based business Rent the ToyChest to encourage play and creativity in households throughout most of King County.

“Play is so valuable for a child’s development,” Whittier said. “I want to help families add more play opportunities.”

Parents, grandparents, uncles and older sisters — really anyone looking to entertain a young per-son — can choose high-quality toys from Whittier’s online collection and try them out for a few weeks. Whittier, who packages the selected toys into plastic tubs, will drive straight to your doorstep to deliver them.

“As a nana, just to have toys around … it’s a great way not to invest in permanent ones,” Ronda “Nana” Erlandson said.

Erlandson, who has lived in Sammamish for more than two decades, is one of Whit-tier’s friends.

Erlandson had rented wooden trucks and a couple other construction-themed pieces for her 2-year-old grandson, Miles Trudelle.

But Rent the ToyChest goes beyond the need to preoccupy a visiting youngster.

Seattle resident Rachel Trudelle, Miles’ mother, told her husband that it would make sense to rent toys because children outgrow them so quickly; plus, they’re expensive.

“If we could have an ongoing rotation of toys, that’d be great,” she said. “I’m always looking for high quality toys. These are all the kinds of toys I want.”

She also said renting is a great way to try out certain items before buying them.

“Renting is such a common sense thing to do for so many reasons,” Whittier said.

It keeps the clutter down and unfavored toys out of landfills.

Whittier’s toys are meant for preschool children, typically ages 3-5. Whittier plans on expanding, and has made an effort to make it easier to find the toddler-friendly toys online, but most of those still lean toward 3 year olds. She doesn’t expect to ex-pand her selection to suit ages 8 and older, because, realistically, they’re into more organized activities, like sports, she said.

She primarily focuses on toys that will stimulate creativity, like blocks, puzzles, puppets, toy trucks and dress-up items.

Like everything Disney, Whittier de-spises mainstream items, describing them as fad toys that children will quickly aban-don. These toys come with a pre-described

storyline and backstory — there’s simply no room for imagination, she said.

She is not liable for the children while they play with her toys; she assumes parents know what is ac-ceptable for their children to play with and will rent toys accordingly.

“You have to supervise,” Whittier said. “I expect

parents to know their kid’s tendencies.”And when it’s time for pick-up, simply

put the toys back the way they came, and Whittier will take care of the rest. She sanitizes items and launders the costumes before renting them out again.

Her prices are between 1/6 and 1/10 of retail price for a two-week rental, she said, and that increases for the three- and four-week plans. The price also factors in Whittier’s gas costs.

For example, the three-piece collection Erlandson rented was $23.33 plus tax for two weeks.

Prior to running Rent the ToyChest out of her 1987 Sammamish home, Whittier worked for Bethlehem Steel after graduat-ing from University of Washington with a metallurgical engineering degree — but she couldn’t escape the pull to educate young-sters.

After her children were born, she real-ized her calling and eventually cofounded Red Gate Preschool in 1995. The school, still in operation, is nestled on a farm off of Southeast Issaquah-Beaver Lake Road in Sammamish.

To rent from Whittier’s toy chest, and for pricing or delivery information, visit www.rentthetoychest.com.

Karen Whittier, owner of Rent the ToyChest, hands a yellow construction hat to 1-year-old Claire Trudelle while her older brother, Miles, 2, plays with a toy truck in Sammamish June 18.

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Certain holidays can cre-ate a tidal wave of memories that can rush back to a person like a hurricane.

Each year, the Fourth of July brings me back to my childhood in Belfair, which is 71 miles west of Bellevue in Mason County. The Fourth of July was the pinnacle of the summer in the 1990s for the kids in my neighborhood.

Each year a dozen of us would make a beeline for Beards Cove Park, a three-minute stroll from my parents’ house, to play a couple hours of basketball before the evening festivities

took place at our respective homes.

By the time I arrived back home, I would be greeted with the sight of my dad’s best friend Oscar’s red truck parked in the driveway. Os-car, who lived in central Tacoma for the majority of his life, was ecstatic to make the 38-mile drive to Belfair on an annual basis for our fam-ily’s favorite holiday.

I couldn’t wait to discover what kind of food and bever-ages Oscar would bring.

Typically, he brought ham-burger patties, shrimp, hot dogs, chips and root beer.

I’ll never forget sitting at the kitchen table, listening to Oscar and my dad tell stories as they cooked up a sizable feast.

As the daylight turned into darkness, our old creaky deck that was perched above our front yard became the hub of our Beards Cove neighborhood. It was just how my dad wanted it. The neighbors not only paid vis-

its to our deck, they brought a plethora of fireworks as well.

It was time to put on a show.

The most memo-rable Fourth of July celebration of my childhood came in the summer of 1994. Because of all of

the excitement of having a multitude of people at our house, I consumed 10 cans of coca-cola without anyone seeming to notice.

The high amount of caf-feine had an effect on my

12-year-old body. Around midnight, as I tried to light off the remaining bottle rockets, I had a tough time lighting the fuse. My hands and fingers couldn’t stop shaking, and my dad asked me why.

I just looked at him and grinned before admitting I had drank 10 sodas through-out the evening. Much to my delight, he wasn’t even angry with me. He replied, “It’s the Fourth of July, so it’s Ok, son.” My dad was a disciplinarian. On any other occasion, his response would had been the opposite and I would had been in trouble.

My father passed away in July of 2004. Tomorrow will be my 11th Fourth of July without him. Besides his birthday and Father’s Day, there isn’t another day that I think about him more than Independence Day. My memories of my favorite holiday will never leave me as long as I’m alive.

employee union reps at the South Lake Union Best Western the day before. Satis-fied, she handed the sheet off to the chant leader and her megaphone.

“Providence, don’t you care?” the picket-ers chanted as they circled the northeast corner of the campus. “(You) Put profits before health care!”

SEIU’s press materials, sent out prior to picketing, repeatedly state that Swedish made $110 million in profit in 2014 and should reinvest that money into its caregiv-ers.

Tregoning elaborated that the union wants compensation and benefits that will attract new workers and retain existing workers to prevent understaffing. Swed-ish hospitals have 1,600 job vacancies, 700 of which are nurses, she said. Meanwhile, Tregoning said she knows coworkers who are in collections for health care received by their own employer under an unfavorable medical plan.

“We’re down 1,600 people and we think

there’s a reason for that,” she said.But June Altaras, Swedish’s system chief

executive for acute care, said attaching the words “profit” and “vacancies” to those figures is misleading. For instance, Swed-ish is a nonprofit healthcare organization and the $110 million identified as profit is actually operating revenue after expenses used to purchase vital medical equipment, she said.

Likewise, the 1,600 vacancies actually re-flect a calculated estimate of hires Swedish needs to make for 2016, taking into account projected patient volume and anticipated employee turnover.

That expected turnover ties into an aging workforce and a longstanding national nurse shortage, Altaras said.

“It was predicted 20 years ago that we would have this shortage,” she said. “The tough part with the crash in 2008 was that it masked the shift. About 50 percent of nurses are Baby Boomers and when the financial crisis occurred, they stayed in the workforce a little longer. Now that it’s over, the exodus is more obvious.”

According to a fact sheet provided by Swedish, management has offered up to

an 11 percent increase to wages over three years and a choice of three health plans, in-cluding a health savings account, a union-requested HMO and the existing preferred

provider plan, which would remain in effect through the end of 2016.

Julie Popper, a spokesperson for SEIU, estimated management and employees had met a dozen times without progress. The employees have the right to strike should negotiations reach an impasse, she said.

But previous contract negotiations have been protracted before while avoiding a strike, Altaras said.

“I’m a nurse and I worked at bedside for 25 years,” she said. “So myself and the whole senior leadership, we understand this concern around staffing and where it comes from. We just think the problem is misunderstood.”

But Tregoning said health care work-ers’ concerns are closely tied to quality of patient care.

“We need a little more give and take,” she said. “As caregivers, we don’t really have any ulterior motive here.

“We’re Swedish patients too. Our families go there; we go there; they are us and we are them.”
