JOURNEY OF A LIFETIMEHamisi Kondo took a di� cult road to Sammamish

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

Inside the mat room at East-side Catholic School, Hamisi Kondo is ready to attack.

His compact frame seizes with anticipation as the referee prepares him and his opponent for the match, his eyes never breaking the gaze of the young-ster opposite him.

� e shrill of the whistle has barely ceased to echo when Hamisi takes control, out-grap-pling and then overpowering his opponent, taking him to the mat and securing a � rst round pin.

As the room explodes with cheers from parents and team-mates, Hamisi shakes hands with a forlorn and defeated opponent, barely cracking a smile.

On the other side of the room, a woman claps her hands and grins heartily. Amy Canady is thinking not only of the win, but a journey of a lifetime that made it possible.

Finding Hamisi � ere may not be a place in

the world that o� ers a more stark

contrast to Sammamish than Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

� e largest city in the East African country, with nearly 4.5 million residents, bears little resemblance to the sprawling suburbs and neatly kept store-fronts on the Plateau.

But for Hamisi Kondo, a� er an arduous journey marked by perseverance, both are home.

Amy and Dennis Canady have lived on the Eastside for many years, and been involved in com-petitive jump rope for decades longer.

A former Miss Washington runner-up in her youth, Amy was also a World Champion jump roper before becoming a coach in the late 1980s, also serving as a board member for the national and international governing bodies for the sport. She took over Hot Dog USA, the same Kirkland-based team she was an original member of, in 1992 and has remained dedicated to its presence.

Not only did the Canadys’ expertise make them the area’s jump rope ambassadors, it made them the � rst choice of a college

graduate named Mike Fry look-ing to take the sport to places it had never been.

Fry, an Ohio native and competitive jump roper since age 11, had won gold medals at the World Championships by the time he � nished his Bachelor’s. But he also knew to � nd a future in the sport, he had to � nd a niche.

“I felt like I could either let my interest die out, or do something with it,” Fry said. “I’ve known I wanted to do something to pay it forward.”

With a Fellowship he was awarded in 2009, Fry set out to � nd a country where he could bring competitive jump rope as an outlet and opportunity, where there may otherwise be few.

An older sister who had taught in Africa got the ball rolling and led Fry to Tanzania.

� e mission was simple: give kids a chance to � nd their talent and provide a means for express-ing it.

He traveled throughout east Africa, spending time in centers for street children and hearing their stories. For nine months

he journeyed to places where re-sources can be scarce, interacting through a sport he sees as simply an opportunity, even with some of his own doubts.

“What have I gotten myself into,” Fry said he wondered weeks a� er arriving. “It was so far out of my comfort zone, but it ended up being amazing.”

Before leaving the United States Fry sent out around 100 emails to schools, youth centers and other organizations, hop-ing to gauge interest and make inroads to those in need.

One of the responses led him to the Dogodogo Centre in Dar es Salaam and a boy named Hamisi.

Into Africa Even with little idea of the

spectrum of the operation or the continent set as its stage, the Canadys agreed to take a trip to Tanzania to join Fry in hosting a two-day championship and ac-companying camp in competitive

Rob Young of Klahanie believes his community is at a critical crossroads. � e vote to annex to Issaquah failed. He said it’s time for Issaquah to give up the right to the potential annexation area and let residents consider Sam-mamish.

If this can happen in short order, an annexation vote to Sammamish could be on a November ballot, Young said, with annexation in January of 2015 if the vote is “yes.”

Young supported the an-nexation to Issaquah, but at this point Issaquah has had two shots at it, and he wants to be part of a city so he and his neighbors can get better services.

� e King County Growth Management Planning Coun-cil (GMPC) met Wednesday Feb. 26 and while Klahanie wasn’t on the agenda, both Kamuron Gurol, director of community development for Sammamish, and Paul Winter-stein, president of the Issaquah City Council, showed up and testi� ed about the PAA.

Senior Policy Analyst Karen Wolf of the planning council said Winterstein testi� ed that Issaquah hasn’t had time to analyze the election results and sort things out.

Gurol was asked by the Sammamish City Council to o� er comments from that city stating its interest in annexing

SCHOOL BUS SLIDES OFF ROAD Skate enthusiasts offer input on new skate parkBY LINDA BALLISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah resident Kristina Gravette’s son, David, 26, is a professional skate-boarder who has already traveled around much of the world competing. She knows skateboarders.

“I’ve had so many at my house,” she said. “They’re good kids. They’re like a family. They work hard at the sport — it’s strenuous. I’m a huge believer in getting the kids out there.”

Like Gravette’s son, most of those who attended the first public meeting on where to locate a new skate park in Issaquah were skateboard enthusiasts – many with their parents – who shot down the perceived notion that skaters are all a bunch of slackers.

What they want is a new skateboard park.

Last year the city approved $350,000 in the 2014 budget to build a new skate park and demolish the old one, which is rarely used for skating, but more for inappropriate activities that can take place because the site is hidden away from plain sight.

The city’s park staff, and an advisory

committee, identified seven potential sites, all on city-owned property. All of the sites will accommodate an 8,000- to 10,000-square-foot park. The existing park is 5,600 square-feet.

The sites include two in the Issaquah Highlands, at Central Park; one in Gib-son Park along Newport Way; Veteran’s Memorial Field behind City Hall and the police/fire stations; a site on the Picker-ing Farm property; and two in Tibbets Valley Park.

Comparisons to the skate park in Sam-mamish, which is well-lit and in a safe and family-friendly location by Sam-mamish City Hall and the library, were brought up more than once.

The Highlands locations didn’t go over well. Gravette said it’s too windy, which doesn’t help the skaters. Competitive skater, Austin Fischer also wants to see it stay on the valley floor close to a major bus line, since many of the skaters don’t have driver’s licenses.

“It’s (skating) a physical activity, and the fire station is right there,” Fischer said. “There’s going to be injuries,” he added.

Essie Hicks, an education advocate, for-mer small business owner, and community leader will challenge state Rep. Jay Rodne. Hicks enters the race with the endorsement of state Rep. Ross Hunter and Issaquah councilmember Tola Marts.

Hicks has served the city of Maple Valley as a planning commissioner, on the board of the Maple Valley Farmers Market, and as a PTA legislative liaison. “I believe my expe-rience as a business owner, my long history in service to my community, and as the mother of � ve boys, I am ready to represent all residents of the 5th District,” said Hicks.

Hicks helped the successful Issaquah bond and levy campaigns that passed with over 69 percent of the vote.

“In Olympia, I will work everyday to provide all our kids with a quality and fully funded education, deliver real transporta-

tion solutions that work for our region, and protect and preserve the natural resources that make our state so unique,” she said.

As a single mother, Essie began her own successful therapeutic massage business and was able to hire other

mothers looking to support their families. She is a member of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce.

Hicks graduated Magna Cum Laude from WSU and will earn her Master’s De-gree in Public Administration from Seattle University in June.

She lives in Issaquah with her husband and � ve sons.

Fenders on Front Street coming to Issaquah


The e� ort by residents of Klahanie to annex to Is-saquah is over. A total of 1,504 voters said “yes” to the idea. However, 1,536 voters said “no.”

� e question now is what’s next?Given the tussle between people wanting to annex to

Issaquah and those who liked the idea of being part of Sammamish better, it would make sense to give the Sam-mamish option a try.

No one that we heard from wanted things the way they are now – Klahanie remaining part of unincorporated King County. And who can blame them.

As an island surrounded by incorporated cities, Klahanie residents can see the bene� ts of being part of a city. � ere’s better police protection, more attention to road repair, and an easier – and closer – option when they want to make their voices heard. Going to an Issaquah or Sammamish city council meeting is far easier than having to go to Seattle to appear before the Metropolitan King County Council.

We believe new Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler who said during his campaign for that o� ce that if the annexation e� ort failed, he would favor dropping Issaquah’s hold on the Klahanie through what is called the Potential Annexa-tion Area, or PAA. Such PAAs, unincorporated areas scat-tered around the state, are assigned to a nearby city so any annexation e� ort would be directed to only one entity.

Now that Klahanie residents have twice said “no” to Is-saquah – the other attempt was in 2005 – Issaquah should release the area and let the King County Growth Manage-ment Planning Council assign the area to Sammamish.

Not surprisingly, some in Sammamish want this done immediately. However, government doesn’t work that quickly. � at said, there is so much that connects Issaquah and Sammamish, neither would let the question of Klah-anie divide them.

Issaquah should expedite its decision on the Klahanie PAA and, if aswe expect, see good reason to give it up, residents in that unincorporated island could see if Sam-mamish would be a good place to come home to.

QUOTE

OF NOTE

Issaquah doingthings right

Recently, my wife and her friend, a longtime Issaquah resident, had din-ner in Issaquah Highlands. My wife’s friend had not visited the Highlands for some time, and her spontaneous response was, “Wow, this is a jaw dropper!”

I could not agree more. Sev-eral appealing new restaurants, a YWCA Family Village, well-used mass transit park-and-ride, a movie theater, grocery store, a wide range of retailers, discount gas, a full service hospital, additional medical services, and more to come.

Mayor Fred Butler shared in his State of the City report that Bel-levue College will build a campus in Issaquah Highlands and Swedish - Issaquah will extend its hospital campus to include additional medi-cal o� ces.

As a resident of Sammamish, I am proud to be Issaquah’s neighbor. My wife and I visit the Highlands o� en and enjoy our close proximity to its array of new amenities and services. We extend to Issaquah, its cur-

rent and past City Council leaders, business partners and residents our hearty congratulation on your careful attention to planned growth, protec-tion of the environment and sustain-able living in a lovely residential setting. Your thoughtful approach to development is a re� ection of strong leadership. � anks, Neighbors.

Jack Barry, Sammamish

The vote is 'no'� is past fall, both Sammamish

and Issaquah were meeting in coun-cil and talking to the community regarding their positions on annexa-tion of the whole of the Klahanie PAA. � e Issaquah City Council made a promise to release the PAA to Sammamish if the Annexation vote in February were "no."

Well, the residents of the PAA have voted, and the vote was "no." � e democratic process is complete.

Now it is time for Issaquah and the King County Boundary Review Board to release the Klahanie PAA, in whole, to the city of Sammamish.

Sammamish is eager to begin the annexation process and we, the residents of the PAA,need to move on and see this issue of annexation � nally resolved.

Just looking at the map, a grade-

school child will tell you which city the PAA should belong to.

We are not children. All the ques-tions have been answered.

We choose Sammamish.It is time for Issaquah to release

the whole Klahanie Proposed An-nexation Area to the city of Sam-mamish.

Mitch Millar, Klahanie

Issaquah shouldkeep its promise

� e vote is over and the residents of Klahanie and surrounding neigh-borhoods have said "no" to annexa-tion to Issaquah. My neighbors and I voted "no" not because we wanted to stay unincorporated, but because we would like to pursue Sammamish as an option. In order for that to hap-pen, and to have the opportunity to belong to a city, I am asking for the help of the Issaquah City Council.

When Mayor Fred Butler and Councilmember Joe Forkner partici-pated in an Issaquah Reporter Q&A last fall, both said that they would support removing Klahanie from Is-saquah's PAA if the citizens rejected Issaquah annexation.

Please remember your words last fall, Mr. Butler and Mr. Forkner, and please support our area in � nding a home with your neighbor to the north. Time is of the essence.

I would further request you not de-lay this process with considerations of dividing up the Klahanie PAA, which would only lead to di� cul-ties for both cities when it comes to providing services and road improve-ments.

I know that I speak for many when I say that we appreciate Issaquah

and will continue to shop, dine, and participate in Issaquah-based activi-ties. We are truly blessed to have such great neighbors (in all directions) and we look forward to your help in fast-tracking our desire to proceed with Sammamish annexation.

Kirsten O'Malley, Klahanie

I’d never hosted a town hall meeting with a moderator, and it was great. Issaquah-Sammamish Reporter Publisher, William Shaw, made sure questions on a wide range of

topics were covered and helped keep us on track. People seemed to appreciate having him there, and I think it was a

bene� t to everyone.We had a great turnout at all three town

halls, with about 25 to 40 people at each event.

� e issues that ranked highest in my recent 5th District online survey – jobs and the economy, education and control-ling government spending – were also big concerns at the town halls.

It’s also safe to say there’s quite a bit of frustration about transportation. We need

to be investing in our infrastructure, but there’s a lack of con� dence in the Washington State Department of Transpor-tation’s ability to be good stewards of our tax dollars.

On the education front, I was glad to see continued interest in funding our schools � rst, as is our paramount duty as laid out in the state constitution. � ere also was recognition that the heavy li� ing will be in the next budget cycle. We’ll start to attack the big problems of levy reform and compensation reform. Of course more funding will be necessary, but it’s not the only component of improving education.

On the jobs front, we spent a lot of time talking about minimum wage. My take is that minimum wage jobs are a stepping stone, especially for young people, for getting into the job market. � ese jobs help them build skills – relating to customers, getting along with co-workers and managers – and enable them to move on in their careers.

Considering the high youth unemployment rate in King County, I think people understand that for now our focus should be on reducing unemployment and getting people back to work. Rep. Chad Magnedanz, R-Issaquah, represents the 5th Legislative District.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

More than the usual exchange of cold and � u germs occurred among lawmakers this session.

An outbreak of a rare virus indiscriminately infected Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate on Day One and shows no signs of abating before they adjourn next week.

It is a strain of Boeing Fatigue Syndrome, a political dis-order characterized by extreme exhaustion from repeated

legislative genu� ecting at the altar of the aerospace giant.

Historically it’s manifested itself among a handful of members of the Legislature unafraid of vocally criticizing a corpora-tion which is vital to keeping Washing-ton’s economy alive and healthy.

� is illness spread in recent months and symptoms are present in nearly every one of the 147 lawmakers.

Many started experiencing fatigue soon a� er casting a vote in a November special session to extend tax breaks which could save the company an estimated $8.7 billion on futures sales of the new 777X jetliner.

When they arrived in Olympia in January, they believed their action inoculated them from further requests from the aerospace � rm in 2014.

So just the mention of Boeing caused lawmakers’ eyes to bulge, faces to redden and blurts of “Haven’t we done enough for them already?”

� is explains why lawmakers roundly ignored Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for funds for two aerospace-related initia-

tives aimed in the direction of � e Boeing Co.Writers of the House and Senate budgets did not include

$500,000 for Washington State University to establish a School of Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace in Everett.

Nor did they put in $500,000 for the University of Washington to develop an advanced manufacturing facil-ity in Snohomish County.

And remember how the governor and some Demo-crats regularly touted the importance of a multi-billion dollar transportation funding package to Boeing and the aerospace industry? Not only did they stop using that line, there’s almost no chance there will even be a package agreed upon this session.

Another sign of fatigue: Republicans have long argued that without reforms to the state’s workers compensation system Boeing could up and leave. Republicans still want reforms but aren’t wielding Boeing as a rhetorical hammer.

To their credit, Boeing lobbyists recognized the mood of lawmakers early in the session and are making themselves pretty scarce.

� ere’s good news for the � rm, as most legislators will make a full recovery March 14.

� at’s the � rst day they can raise money for their re-election campaigns. � ere may be no better cure for this syndrome than a contribution from Boeing.

She is respected and beloved by her teachers, coaches and peers and across a wide variety of social groups. Currently Drama Club President, Natalie has held a variety of leadership roles throughout her time at Liberty, and she is invariably an asset to any organization she serves. I’ve also seen her act as an unof� cial leader in dif� cult interpersonal situations. She manages to stay out of the most entangled frays, discouraging unfounded gossip, always trying to understand others’ motivations, and doing what she can to bring people together. And she works more volunteer hours, both of� cially and unof� cially, than any other student. She doesn’t do it for the recognition, but out of a sincere desire to help.” ~ Katherine Klekas

Graphic program asks teens to ‘Think Again’ when drinking, texting, not wearing seatbelts and drivingBY LINDA BALLISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A photo of a young adult’s badly burned body, still in his car, is unsettling.

He’s dead.It was part of a program, “� ink Again,”

presented over two days by Pete Wilson and Ryan Anderson of Eastside Fire and Rescue, to all sophomores at Issaquah High School. � ey started the program by pass-ing out very graphic photos of real-life auto accidents with dead victims. � ey’ve had kids pass out from the photos before.

“� ese are real people, real accidents,” Wilson said.

� e program is aimed at sophomores because they are the newly minted drivers. “� ink Again” takes aim at distracted, drunk or drugged driving, not wearing seat belts and the consequences.

“� e goal is to impact you just enough so when you make a decision it’s the right one,” Wilson said.

� e statistics are staggering. Every 32 minutes someone in the U.S. dies in an alcohol related crash. � e No. 1 killer of kids in King County is car accidents. Fi� y-

� ve percent of teen car crashes are on the weekend. In 2012, 27 people died daily because of drinking and driving in the U.S. And one-in-� ve teens binge drink even though only one out of 100 parents believe their kid binge drinks.

“� ink Again” started in 1998. A 16-year-old le� a party a� er drinking. He was driving 90 mph on a residential street before wrapping the car around a tree. He died at the scene, but his 15-year-old girl-friend survived. It took three hours for � rst responders to cut her free from the car. She spent a month at Harborview. Wilson was at that party, and the boy was his friend.

“Going to a funeral when you’re 16 is not fun,” he told the kids.

Binge drinking, or consuming four to � ve drinks in an hour, can shut down your organs. When � rst responders arrive and � nd a passed out binge drinker they have to intubate immediately so the person can breathe. � e message: alcohol poisoning can kill you.

Distracted driving includes eating, talk-ing to a passenger, texting, reading a text or drinking any beverage. Anderson said at 55 mph, taking your eyes o� the road for 4.6 seconds, can be disastrous because you’ve driven the length of a football � eld and don’t even know it.

Not wearing seat belts is another com-mon teen problem. � e seatbelt protects your head and spinal cord. In accidents that involve a passenger being thrown from the

vehicle, 64 percent of the time it’s because the person was not wearing a seatbelt. Airbags are supplementary because if your seatbelt isn’t on, the airbag can throw you into the back seat.

To end the program, Anderson and Wilson, with the help of a few student volunteers, set up a scenario. A party starts at one kid’s house, because mom and dad are out of town. � e host ends up with alcohol poisoning and is vomiting in the bathroom. Someone calls 911, as the other guests � ee.

“Why do you think the police come?” asked Wilson. “Because they don’t want you driving away drunk.”

Meanwhile, the � rst responders are busy stabilizing the host. Wilson and Anderson brought all the tricks of the trade. A tube to pump the stomach, needles to start an IV, scissors to cut o� the victim’s clothing so they can check for injuries. A mask to breathe. Another tube that goes up your nose. � en they take you to Harborview, either by car or helicopter, which they call the “zoo.”

At this point the students looked pretty somber.

“It’s not just about you being hurt — it’s about your friends, family and other people who don’t get emergency services because all our resources are with you,” Anderson said.

the Klahanie area. “We were waiting for the results of

the election,” Gurol said. “Now GMPC would have to modify the PAA map to show it as a PAA for Sammamish. Our hope is that Issaquah will release the PAA.”

Gurol said the GMPC has the authori-ty to modify the map. He said both cities have the mutual desire to avoid duplica-tive or overlapping PAAs. This would be avoided if Issaquah releases the area.

“It looks like it’s going to take an ac-tion by Issaquah — we’ve asked GMPC to put it on the work program for this year,” Gurol said.

He said the best case scenario is if Is-saquah releases it and GMPC puts it on the map as Sammamish’s PAA. The worst case scenario is if the two cities cannot work this out.

Wolf said the GMPC wants the two cities to figure it out and come back to them at the May meeting.

“The GMPC doesn’t want to get into a dispute between two cities,” she said.

At Monday’s regular Issaquah City Council meeting, Klahanie was not on the agenda, but it may as well have been. Several people testified, most asking the council to release the PAA.

“We’re all very tired, fatigued,” said Chris Jensen of Klahanie. “Sammamish is the obvious choice. Since the early 2000s it seemed like this reality was just over the horizon but vocal minorities of what appeared to be less than five people kept blowing against the political sails, keeping us moored in this harbor of stagnation.”

Jensen said recent quotes from Mayor Fred Butler seemed to imply some sort of gerrymandering or slicing up of pre-cincts, which would only exacerbate the

animosity that’s been growing toward Issaquah ever since the issues surround-ing the water district and the cyber squatting.

“Releasing the PAA would go a long way to repairing the voters’ state of mind at this point,” he said.

Julie Pai said she has lived on the plateau for 12 years. She lives in the north end of the PAA, and said her family shops in Sammamish, visits its library and prefers the lifestyle in Sam-mamish.

“Release us from your PAA,” she implored. “We don’t belong to Issaquah. You promised to release us in 2002 and did not do that. It is not right to hold us hostage. All along it’s been clear that Sammamish is a better choice.”

Pai, addressing Mayor Butler, remind-ed him that in his campaign he said he’d release Klahanie.

“It doesn’t get any clearer than that,” Pai said. “Don’t equivocate. Release us.”

Three more people delivered the same message, while three testified that they still want to be part of Issaquah.

Winterstein said the Issaquah City Council will be reviewing its comprehen-sive plan. Every seven years the Growth Management Council calls for a compre-hensive overhaul of cities’ comp plans, and this is the year to do so, Winterstein said.

“Releasing Klahanie is changing the comp plan,” Winterstein said. “There is a mechanism for this.”

He said since a PAA can only be in one city’s comprehensive plan, Sammamish would have to add it to its plan.

“It’s good practice to be thorough and deliberate,” he said. “We’re beholden to this comp plan process. We need to get a sense of the entire process.”

Any changes to Issaquah’s comprehen-sive plan wouldn’t go into effect until 2015.

The Newest Bank In Town Has A Very Familiar

Look To It. 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, Julie 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.

� e Lake Washington School District will try again to pass a bond to build new schools. � e board voted March 3 to put a $404 million bond measure on the April 22 ballot. Voters defeated a $755 million bond measure in February.

“� e district needs to act immedi-ately to address our urgent and critical need for additional classroom space,” said Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent.

� e measure would provide funds to build three new elementary schools (two in Redmond and one in Kirk-land) and a new middle school in Red-mond. Juanita High School in Kirk-land would be rebuilt to house a larger number of students and a 600-student STEM-focused high school would also be built on that campus.

Lake Washington High School, which was designed before the district recon� gured from three grades in high

school to four grades, would receive an addition.

� e February measure earned close to 58 percent yes votes, short of the 60 percent supermajority needed to pass.

“We heard concerns from the com-munity about the overall size of the February bond measure,” noted Board President Jackie Pendergrass. “� ese projects are needed now to reduce current overcrowding and keep up with the rapid growth in our enroll-ment.”

Projects that were part of the Febru-ary ballot that are not included in the April ballot measure would be con-sidered in four years. � ose include modernizing Kamiakin and Evergreen Middle Schools; modernizing Kirk, Mead and Rockwell Elementary Schools; adding an internationally-fo-cused grades 6-12 secondary school in Sammamish and adding on to Eastlake

High School.“� e board’s plan allows the district

to � rst address the immediate need for additional space, and then to engage the community around the longer term need to continue to modern-ize our aging school facilities,” noted Pierce.

Cost of the measure to taxpayers is estimated to be 25 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value. � at would amount to about $124 per year for the owner of the average home in Lake Washington School District, valued at approximately $495,000.

“� is decision was very di� cult,” said Pendergrass. “� e quality of our school district attracts families, which bene� ts our communities. But it also means we need to create room in our schools for those children. Ultimately, we must rely on our communities to fund those classrooms.”

Treasure HuntThe dictionary de� nes the

word “antiques” as a collection of “art objects and ancient furniture”. Each of these ancient objects passed the test of time by surviving through thick and thin, through wars and di� cult, often damaging weather changes. They are all part of our history, of the whole world’s history, keeping alive the memory of our great ancestors and making our cultural heritage a little more real! For many collectors, running from � ea market to � ea market is the ultimate treasure hunt: to discover the pearl, a piece from the past that will � ll the present!

If you are a collector, a Sunday browser or simply curious, antiques will pull you in! Their unique style, form and colors, their use, often guessed at, often unknown and sometimes unexpected, will give you an excellent lesson in history sure to develop a passion beyond history books. Although, some of you can be simply drawn to the nostalgia from the past...

At a time where � owers have bloomed and outdoor cafés are doing a brisk trade for all those thirsty for iced tea

and sunbathing, many antique dealers have their doors wide open to the summer crowd. Museums present their wares and fares all year round but antique dealers will take advantage of the glorious days of summer to o� er their treasures, with a special o� ering to tourists exploring the region.

Well, has the desire to hunt down antiques taken hold? Just get ready to explore, discover and enjoy your corner of the world as you set up an itinerary that will take you all across the region while � nding THE rare treasure, the piece of all pieces! There are Internet sites that will list the antique dealers found in

your region. You can also list dealers in other cities slated for discovery in your trek as an antique hunter.A piece of history |

Bland returning to Eagles’ gridironBY JOSH [email protected]

Issaquah has found its next head football coach, and it is one they have known before.

Buddy Bland led the Eagles for seven seasons before resigning in 2006, and will once again be on the sidelines as the head football coach beginning in 2014.

“� ey are great kids,” he said. “� ey want to be there and do the best job they can for themselves and the school. It is great to be part of that.”

Bland replaces Chris Bennett, who was relieved of his coaching duties a� er the 2013 season.

� e news was announced on the Issaquah football Twit-ter feed and con� rmed by the Issaquah School District to the Reporter.

Bland is a physical education teacher at Issaquah and his � rst tenure as head coach of the Eagles’ was highlighted in 2003 as a member of Class 3A.

Issaquah ran through KingCo with a 10-0 regular season that included wins over rival Skyline and a goal line stand victory as time ticked away against Bellevue on the road, before taking the program back to the state semi � nals with blowout playo� wins over Burlington-Edison and Colum-bia River.

� e Wolverines won the rematch in the Tacoma Dome 21-0 in the semis, breaking an 18-game winning streak that spanned parts of two seasons.

Bland said the ultimate goal is to provide memorable experiences such as that one to the current group of Eagles.

“It is nice to get back and work towards getting this school its � rst state championship.”

Issy, EC boys a� er state hoops titlesBY JOSH [email protected]

Issaquah is back in the Class 4A state quarter� nals for the � rst time since the 2002-03 season and was one of eight teams vying for a 4A state championship in the Tacoma Dome at the Reporter’s deadline a� er a 64-46 win over Bel-larmine Prep in the Regional round Feb. 28.

� e Eagles faced top-ranked Jackson (Mill Creek) March 6 in the quarter� nals, with the winner meeting the winner of another quarter� nal between Gar� eld and Kentridge Friday.

In its Regional round win, Issaquah led by double digits at the half and kept their season alive against a group of Li-ons forced to play without leading scorer Mar’kese Jackson due to injury.

Crusaders in 3A quarters for � rst time Eastside Catholic is making only the program’s third

appearance in the 3A state basketball tournament a� er handling Timberline 80-40 at Bellevue College in last week’s Regional round.

“We set a goal to get here,” senior Nathan Christie said. “But it is surreal.”

� e Crusaders faced University in the quarter� nals � ursday a� er the Reporter’s deadline.

In the Regional round win over the Blazers, Eastside Catholic’s � rst appearance in the round of 16 in more than a decade, it was a lights-out shooting performance that cre-ated the o� ensive spark.

Sophomore Matisse � ybulle poured in 16 points in the � rst quarter with a pair of three-pointers and punctuated the performance with three slam dunks, one of those com-

ing o� a miss on the same possession, as Eastside Catholic took control from the opening tip.

He said a� er a near perfect shoot-around early in the day, and with the promise of a state quarter� nal berth just one win away, it was easy to � nd a rhythm.

“I made my � rst shot, and I just blacked out,” he said “� ey all started falling.”

� ybulle � nished with a game high 20 point on 8-16 shooting, and added � ve rebounds and two assists.

� e state basketball tournaments continue at the Tacoma Dome Friday and Saturday. Issaquah last made the title game in Class 3A in 2002-03, falling to Rainier Beach. EC

jump rope.“� ey were the hardest working kids we had ever seen,”

Dennis recalled.� e dedication of the kids to learning techniques and

building stamina immediately struck the Canadys, and they found one boy in particular to have an undeniable connection with them.

“Hamisi was one of the � rst children we met,” Dennis said. “He was clearly special in a variety of ways.”

Special is a word Fry also used to describe the young-ster he met on his � rst trip to the Dogodogo Centre, a boy whose excitable nature was undeterred by his malnour-ished frame.

“He picked up a rope and did a handstand right away,” Fry said. “� at just doesn’t happen.”

As the two worked together that � rst time, it was ap-parent the type of hidden and untapped potential Fry was seeking was right before him in Hamisi.

Fry continued to take a special interest in Hamisi, eventually persuading him to spend more time exploring the depths of his talent as a jump roper. � e results were sudden and staggering.

“It � nally stuck with him that he was good at it and enjoying it,” Fry said.

As his talent grew, so did his relationship with the Ca-nadys.

The boy by the river � e timing of that bond seemed destined to take the

place of another.When he was around six years old (a lack of centralized

birth records in the country makes knowing Hamisi’s exact age impossible), Hamisi watched as his sister and both parents succumbed to tuberculosis, leaving him with only his grandparents.

But his closest remaining family and new de facto guard-ians were too old, and in no state to work to support the family.

So at an age when more fortunate kids are trading snacks on the school bus and playing kickball at recess, Hamisi provided the support his only remaining family could not, through the only humble means he knew.

“Hamisi would go to the river, dig sand, sit it on the bank to let it dry, then � ll � ve-galloon buckets and carry it to construction workers,” Dennis said. “� en, he would sell it to them so they could build.”

Carrying water from the village’s only centralized source to those who could not do so themselves was another way to earn a bite to eat, or small amount of money. But with no one le� to support him, Hamisi Kondo ended up on the streets.

In need of schooling, shelter and other basic needs, Hamisi landed in a shelter for the city’s estimated 3,000-5,000 “street children.” Neither Hamisi nor those who run the Dogodogo Centre could have known how that would alter his life forever.

The lesson of the dog � e Canadys decided on their way back to the United

States a� er that � rst trip they wanted to start a project that could bring jump rope to other parts of the world.

� e plan was to host an international competition in Washington D.C. the following year, � nding and sponsor-ing kids from Tanzania and Kenya, and also inviting jump

ropers from around the world to compete. “Hamisi was one of those kids,” Dennis said. “In his � rst

time, he won the novice world championship in his age category.”

� eir bond now crystalized, the Canadys invited Hamisi to stay with them for a week in what was the � rst of many trips together. At some point during their journeys to Af-rica and with Hamisi to the United States, a more perma-nent arrangement became an obvious ends.

“We started entertaining the idea of maybe adopting,” Dennis said. “He seemed interested.”

� at solution was quickly revealed impractical due the logistics behind adoption in Tanzania. But the Canadys soon found an equally palatable option in Eastside Catholic and a sponsorship.

� e couple explained Hamisi’s circumstances, and were able to get him enrolled in the school. He could then secure a visa, which allowed Hamisi to enter the United States with the Canadys as his sponsors and guardians.

So in 2013, with a limited formal education and virtually no English comprehension, Hamisi came to Sammamish to stay.

Immediately, the hard working nature that de� ned survival in his former home came to the surface in entirely new ways.

“He is very bright, but he is also one of the hardest work-ing people I have ever met,” Dennis said. “When he wants something, he is very determined and nothing will stop him.”

Hamisi learned English in roughly six weeks and is now nearly � uent. His Humanities teacher, Arlene Naganawa, said his perspective has been refreshing for his peers and enlightening even for sta� members.

“It is very inspiring,” she said. “For the kids, it is kind of eye-opening.”

Dennis said the main confusions come from story-based learning, when contextual elements like household pets don’t make sense in the context of his life back in Dar es Salaam.

“� e � rst thing for him was, ‘why would you have a dog as a pet,’” Dennis said. “Dogs are competition for food, and there is no such thing as a pet where he comes from.”

Real sports As his academic pro� le has grown, so too has the pos-

sibility of Hamisi’s fortune in athletics. Along with the jump rope titles, he found team sports

like basketball and soccer were an immediate � t. When he hit the wrestling mat, middle school coach Larry Roybal said the results were staggering.

“He was a natural athlete,” Roybal said. “He really ex-celled.”

As it has in so many other areas of his life, Hamisi’s hard work paid o� when he took third at the Triangle League postseason wrestling tournament for Eastside Catholic.

Roybal said that could be just the start on the mat. “If Hamisi continues in the program and does stu� out-

side the program, he will be Eastside Catholic’s third state champion,” he said.

Learning to adapt is not something Hamisi takes lightly. He insists on hours-long sessions at Hot Dog USA, de-

termined to get new tricks and routines perfected despite the urging of the Canadys.

“Our other athletes show up for their hour, and they’re done,” Dennis said. “Hamisi stays for six hours, and that is him, not us. We would rather be somewhere else.”

� at work ethic was born of a time when he struggled with issues far more pressing than a new skill with the jump rope, or technique on the mat, and has carried over to the classroom for Hamisi as well.

“I work very hard,” he said. “I told them (teachers) I wanted the same work the other kids do.”

Hamisi and the Canadys must take trips back to Tanza-nia, to verify his academic progress and for the people of Dar es Salaam, provide an example of their potential.

“He is kind of a national hero,” Dennis said. Amy said while Hamisi’s journey to the United States has

been a winding one, the outlook for his future seems set on a true course. He knows the status of his visa, and by exten-sion his presence in the United States, is inexorably tied to his schoolwork. � at fact, along with his own unquench-able thirst for knowledge, has provided plenty of motiva-tion for Hamisi and the Canadys believe, will someday soon land him at a university and on a path to redemption.

“He is the most determined kid we’ve ever seen,” she said. “It’s beyond amazing.”

BY KELLY MONTGOMERYISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Monte Lindsley, a lifelong Sammamish resident and co-leader for the local Girl Scout troop, was diagnosed with colon cancer on Jan. 27 and they said it had spread to his liver. Twenty days later, Lindsley passed away.

“Monte was a loving father of our child, friend, and companion of mine for 20 years,” Monique Chastain, Lindsley’s wife, said. “We met as the best of friends and also parted the same way.”

Monte became a father at 50-years-old with his daughter, Elysia, currently in 8th grade. He was involved with her Girl Scout troop since she was a � rst grader, and a� er several years of directly assisting, he became a co-leader.

“Monte stayed active with the scouts encompassing his love for his daughter, nature, laughter and the arts in one special place,” Chastain said. “In his � nal days he wished to be near her and gave every e� ort and last strength to share as much as he could with the child he named ‘Elysian’, meaning blissful and delightful.”

Leslie Hall, Lindsley’s co-leader, said he was a kind-hearted, creative and compassionate friend to all. She said that he was very interested in the environ-ment, and over this past year he had been working with a few girls to achieve their GS Silver Award.

“� ey created a trail at Camp River Ranch with the intent on re-igniting interest in the environment and plant life,” Hall saids. “� ere is still some work to be done on the trail. We are hoping to have a ribbon cutting cer-emony in May and inviting the community to join us. My daughter, husband, and I a� er hearing the news of his passing, drove to the camp and walked through the trail we just created last spring. It is a beautiful trail that leads to the river. He (Lindsley) was so full of life.”

Jan Viney, who worked with Lindsley for three years at Camp River Ranch in Carnation, said that although he was an hourly employee, he worked by his own clock to do whatever it took to heal the native forest and create opportunities for others to connect with its energy.

“At Camp River Ranch, he

opened up over 10 miles of trails to take girls to experi-ence the awe and wonder of our northwest native forest,” Viney said. “In doing that, he guided and empowered girls, adult volunteers, high school service students, prisoners, and many more, to connect and experience the beauty. What he has created there will be a gi� for the whole community for generations.”

It’s no question Lindsley was an outdoor man, having climbed Mt. Rainier at least four times and building an amazing tree house in his family’s backyard.

Hall said he also had a tal-ent for making furniture out of maple vines, which were featured in Town & Country.

“He told us that when he turned 30 he could die saying he had led a great life. Luckily that didn’t hap-pen. At age 50, he became a father,” Hall said.

Many community mem-bers have spoken out with Lindsley’s many accomplish-ments, having been a huge asset to the city of Sam-mamish and the surround-ing areas.

“His spirit lives within our hearts, his accomplishments were many we will be forever proud of,” Chastain said.

Lifetime resident and Girl Scout leader dies suddenly

On Sunday, March 2 just a� er 6 a.m., Sammamish Police responded to a report of a vandalism at Pine Lake Park, 2401 228th Avenue Southeast.

� e o� cer arrived to � nd extensive spray paint damage to the interior and exterior walls of the restroom, as well as to some of the park signage. � e gra� ti contained political and anti-religious messages. � e suspect(s) are estimated to have caused more than $10,000 in damage.

� e park restroom is currently closed. Crews from the Sammamish Parks Department are in the process of cleaning up the spray paint and plan to have the restroom opened again later this week. If you have any informa-tion regarding this crime, contact the Sammamish Police Department at 425-295-0770.

BY KELLY MONTGOMERYISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Developing teens and children with spe-cial needs came together last weekend for ‘Make it a Clay Day’, and le� with not only newly made clay sculptures, but friends.

Lin Garretson, director of the Special Arts Sammamish program and a Sam-mamish Arts Commissioner, said the ‘Make it a Clay Day’ event could not have gone any better.

“I’m still in awe,” said Denise Markley, Special Arts Sammamish volunteer. “When I think about the room �lled with adults and children I just see smiles and hear laughter from one corner of the room to the other…I don’t think it could have gone any better. I was so proud to be part of this event and I can’t wait for the next one.”

Garretson developed the idea and brought it to the Sammamish Arts Com-mission approximately two years ago. �ey approved it, and have directly funded the concept since.

“We had more people than we antici-pated, with 34 kids and 42 volunteers,” she said.

�e event, sponsored by the Sammamish Arts Commission, was a chance for devel-oping teens to interact with children with special needs.

Garretson said that there were several goals of the event, from social interaction to creating through cognitive exercises. She said it was nice to have an event just for the children with special needs--they were not tagging along, she said, this was just for

them. Garretson said that the event was also

very eye-opening for developing teens, who got to directly interact with kids who are di�erent from them.

“O�en times, when kids see someone who is a little di�erent, they avoid them,” Garretson said. “It’s such a neat thing to see the exact opposite thing happening here (at Make it a Clay Day). �ey have such a big heart. When you look around the room you see all these little pairs laughing and creating together.”

A third thing that has developed from this event, Garretson said, is a time for the parents. �e event encouraged the child and parent to let go a little bit and give the child an opportunity to branch out while making new friends, Garretson said. While this is happening, the parents have the ability to talk with each other and share resources and encouragement.

“It starts out about kids with special needs and goes into so much more,” Gar-retson said. “It’s a feel good day. Everybody le� with a big smile. It was a job well done.”

Art commission’s ‘Make it a Clay Day’ a huge success “It starts out about kids with special needs, and goes into so much more.”- Lin Garretson

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 quantity 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 delivery 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.
