Issaquahenvironmental leader diesMargaret Macleodhelped secure grantsfor land and trailsBY LINDA [email protected]
Margaret Macleod, who received the Ruth Kees award in 2013 for her environmental e� orts, died Dec. 26 a� er a long battle with metastatic lung cancer. She was 61.
� e award was named a� er Kees, who set the standard for pursuing the vision of a sustainable Issaquah.
Macleod moved to the Puget Sound area in 1993 from Santa Barbara. She worked for the city of Issaquah for 20 years as a park planner. During her time with the city, Macleod helped secure a series of grants that set aside hundreds of acres along Issaquah Creek and adjoining upland areas on Squak and Tiger mountains for protection

� e Chris Elliott Fund had a monumental moment last Fri-day, Jan. 3, when it opened the doors of the new Brain Tumor Patient and Family Support Services Center in Redmond. � e organization was started in 2002 by Sammamish residents Chris and Dellann Elliott three weeks before Chris passed away from the deadliest form of brain tumor. Dellann said that in his last days Chris made the request to do something about the disease.
“While going through this disease with my husband, we
experienced and realized that it was the norm for brain tumor patients to not be referred to dedicated brain tumor special-ists or centers and it was the norm to not encourage clinical trials and advanced treatments as options for the disease,” Del-lann said.
� e non-pro� t organization focuses on brain cancer and brain tumor patient advocacy, with the ultimate mission of ending the disease. Help is of-fered free of charge.
� e � rst person assisted was John Brace. It was three weeks a� er Chris’ funeral. Brace had just had his brain tumor removed and wanted to know what to do next. Dellann began
responding to Brace’s concerns, and others, averaging approxi-mately 40 inquiries a month. � is number eventually grew to about 300 inquiries.
“I personally responded to and met with each person who reached out for help from me for 10 years,” she said.
Dellann was able to hire a Health Information Concierge for 20 hours a week in order to assist her, and eventually the Christ Elliott Fund acquired six employees to help with support services.
“We spent 10 years on the Sammamish Plateau delivering brain tumor patient support services as well as creating edu-cational materials to a local and

Although he said he was sad to leave his post on the Issaquah City Council, Fred Butler, the new mayor of Issaquah, said he was honored in the trust the citizens of Issaquah have placed in him.
“I will do my best to serve with wisdom and compassion,” Butler said as he was sworn in Monday night.
He continued by recognizing former Mayor Ava Frisinger, saying she set an outstanding example he hopes to emulate. He also acknowledged the “outstanding” city employees and said he looked forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
Also taking the oath of o� ce were the newest City Council member, Mary Lou Pauly, and returning councilmembers Eileen Barber, Stacy Goodman and Tola Marts. All of them ran unopposed and will
serve until the end of 2017.Councilmember Paul Winterstein was
nominated to be the new council president by Marts, and was elected unanimously. Goodman will serve as deputy council president, also an unanimous decision.
� e Issaquah City Council is still short one member, due to Butler’s election as mayor. � e city is now taking applica-tions from community members who are interested in serving the rest of the term. Applicants must be at least 18-years-old, a registered voter and resident of Issaquah for at least one year. � e term expires in November 2015.
� e application is on the city’s website, and must be submitted with a letter of interest by Jan. 15. Applicants will give a 10-minute presentation at the Jan. 21 city council meeting.
� e council is expected to � ll the va-cancy at its Feb. 3 meeting, swearing in the newest member at that time.
BUTLER BEGINS RUN AS MAYOR
Fred Butler takes the oath of o� ce as the new mayor of Issaquah from Judge N. Scott Stewart on Monday, Jan. 6. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
BY KELLY [email protected]
The meeting began with council members Don Gerend, Kathy Huckabay, Bob Kellar and former mayor Tom Odell taking the oath of office. From there, the council proceeded to elect a new mayor and deputy mayor.
Huckabay nominated Tom Vance and Gerend nominated Nancy Whitten. Council member Vance was elected with five of the votes and will serve as mayor for the next two years.
Former deputy mayor Ramiro Valder-rama nominated Gerend to take over his position, stating he brings not only the experience but the insight as he continues to work tirelessly for the city. Kellar followed with the nomination of Huckabay. In a vote of 5-3, Huckabay was elected as the new deputy mayor and will serve for the next year.
EFR Interlocal AgreementThe newly modified Eastside Fire and
Rescue Interlocal Agreement has been modified and presented, but some coun-cil members are still concerned.
Council member Huckabay said she is disappointed in the agreement, stating there is no clear understanding of who is going to make key decisions. She said that she has received a lot of feedback from community members who are
concerned about the Pine Lake station, wondering if trucks will be able to get to certain remote areas in a timely manner.
“People are very concerned with the reduced service level,” Huckabay said.
Huckabay was also concerned with Section 16.3 that deals with equipment upon a partner’s withdrawal.
“It would seem that this would be an opportunity to take to clarify the lan-guage,” she said.
According to the council, District 10 and North Bend have already passed the interlocal agreement. District 38 is in the process of scheduling a vote and the city of Issaquah will vote on Jan. 21.
Mike Kenyon, the Sammamish city attorney, said the main question at this point is whether there are substan-tive changes that the Sammamish City Council wants to make. Councilmember Whitten nodded her head, saying there are in fact changes in the agreement that she wants to see.
Kenyon mentioned that EFR may form an operations committee to discuss some key concerns.
The discussion was postponed until the council’s special study session next week where council members will pres-ent their drafted questions and concerns.
City Manager ReportCity manager Ben Yacizi informed the
council that Sammamish resident Mary Piggott donated $1 million to the YMCA community center project. She is also the one who donated the land for Big Rock Park which opened in October 2011.

BY L. LAILE DI SILVESTROSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER
In the early 1950s, Edward Seil was town marshal in an Issaquah that about 1,000 people called home. Known locally as “Nogs,” Seil dealt e�ectively with small-town criminals by housing them in jail overnight and feeding them breakfast with a stern lecture in the morning.
Meanwhile, the region was dealing with a more global threat. Nearby Seattle was a siz-able population center and major producer of military aircra�. It seemed an obvious target for Russia’s new long-range jet aircra�, capable of carrying atomic missiles. �e military needed elevated sites for electronic surveillance and missile defense. �e terrain around the small town of Issaquah was per-fect for this role.
Issaquah was no stranger to wartime sur-veillance. During World War II, residents set up a “spotters tower” and took turns watch-ing for enemy aircra�. Issaquah resident Viola White Peterson remembered, “High School students were excused from class to man the aircra� warning tower on top of the �re hall.”
By the 1950s, surveillance technology had advanced considerably beyond a pair of binoculars on a tower. Nevertheless, aircra� spotters participating in the Ground Ob-server Corps remained alert at Beaver Lake and Pine Lake until 1959, purportedly calling in any aircra� they spotted, all of which were friendly.
According to Phil Dougherty of the Sammamish Heritage Society, residents also watched neighbors who appeared to have Communist leanings, and in at least one case attracted the attention of the FBI.
Meanwhile, the military began to install state-of-the-art surveillance technology on nearby peaks. Interception and relaying of radio communications was paramount, so electric cables were run up Tiger Mountain and Squak Mountain to antennas. Micro-wave installations came soon a�er.
In 1953, the military placed anti-aircra� guns on nearby Cougar Mountain. In 1957, the military replaced the guns with target and missile tracking radar, and installed a Nike missile launch site about a mile down-hill to the southeast.
No Issaquah residents are known to have contributed to the installation or operation of
these sites, and many were unaware of their presence and of the dangers they posed. Nev-ertheless, Cold War maps of nuclear targets placed Issaquah in the crosshairs.
Despite the nuclear danger, Issaquah embraced the Cold War atmosphere and thrived. George Rowley Sr. built more than 300 homes on Squak Mountain. Is-saquah’s population grew to 1,870 in 1960 and reached 5,536 by 1980. In the area where Costco now stands, a new �ight training school enrolled World War II soldiers funded by the GI bill. A govern-ment plane showered 30,000 lea�ets onto residents as part of a Cold War com-munications test in 1951, and in 1978 the school district banned J.D. Salinger’s "Catcher in the Rye" as “part of an overall Communist plot.”
Yet, as Issaquah grew and prospered, its Cold War defense systems decayed. Hiking trails followed fraying electric cables up to nearby peaks. Bark consumed rungs climb-ing a trunk to a tree-top antenna. �e aircra� defense system was dismantled and cell phone towers and modern microwave relay stations replaced the Cold War communica-tions systems. Eventually "Catcher in the Rye" became required reading.
Issaquah’s Cold War era sites may no longer provide intelligence on enemy activity, but through a historian’s lens they can reveal a di�erent kind of intelligence about the past and a community’s response to the threat of war.
L. Laile Di Silvestro is a volunteer with the Issaquah History Museums. More information is available at issaquahhistory.org
The long watch: Issaquah’s role in Cold War defense
Researcher Doug Bristol will present stories about the Cold War era Nike missile sites on nearby Cougar Moun-tain at a history program at 11 a.m. on Jan. 18 at the Issaquah Depot Museum, 78 First Ave. N.E. A full-size Nike mis-sile mockup will be on display.
�e Gilman Town Hall Museum has exhibits covering the Cold War era in Issaquah, as well as the World War II aircra� surveillance log. It is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. �ursday through Saturday at 165 S.E. Andrews St.

Members of the Machinists union did the right thing Jan. 3 by voting to approve a contract extension o� ered by Boeing. � e 51 percent “yes”
vote means the 777X jetliner will be built in Everett, secur-ing high-paying jobs throughout the region.
We know this was a di� cult vote for union members. � e company’s contract extension came with a number of takeaways, including changes to the workers’ pension ben-e� ts. As di� cult as that was to accept, it re� ects changes going on in businesses throughout the country.
To so� en the blow, Boeing workers will get a $10,000 bonus immediately.
While the contract vote was up to Boeing workers, thou-sands of other workers throughout the region had a stake in the outcome, too. Many companies provide parts and services for Boeing planes. � ose jobs also were on the line
� e same can be said of the region as a whole, which bene� ts from the pay Boeing workers take home – and spend on everything from groceries to new cars.
� e vote also means Boeing no longer is wooing other cities and states for the 777X work. As Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner rightly noted, “� anks to this vote by our employees, the future of Boeing in the Puget Sound region has never looked brighter.”
� at is evident from the next step Boeing will take for production of the 777X – investing up to $4 billion to con-struct a 1.1 million-square-foot facility in the state to build the airplane’s wings. � at also means 3,000 jobs at peak production in 2024.
� ose jobs – and that future – will remain here, thanks to the vote by Machinists union members.

OF NOTE
Will the only challenger to Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, be other Democrats?
Is budget-writing Republican Sen. Andy Hill of Redmond the next Dino Rossi?
Will a poll be released showing Hill as the top Republican candidate for governor in 2016 – and beating Inslee in a one-on-one match-up?
And will Inslee reply there’s still a half to be played?
Can Democrats win enough seats to recapture the majority in the state Senate?
Can Republicans win enough seats to regain the majority in the United
States Senate?Will anyone challenge the Democratic incumbents in
Washington’s congressional delegation?
Will Congress pass a farm bill to avoid driving the U.S. o� the “Dairy cli� ” and leaving hungry families even hungrier?
How many people will decide to spend some of their co� ee money on cannabis?
Who will expend more on legal marijuana products - the generation of Baby Boomers or that of Miley Cyrus?
Will the Mariners still be in the pennant race when the Seahawks report for training camp?
Will the Seahawks begin next season as Super Bowl champions?

Relating to the incident at
Eastside Catholic, � rst, this is a religious institution, which believes and attempts to follow the Holy Scriptures (Bible) which calls ho-mosexuality an abomination.
Second, I feel sorrow over the fact that this school apparently
is not teaching their students the truth of the Bible.

and restoration. Macleod also worked closely with the
Mountain to Sound Greenway, the state Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Forest Service to set aside lands for the Greenway trail along I-90 in King County.
Doug McClelland, assistant regional manager for the South Puget Sound Region of the DNR, knew her well.
“She was an inter-agency coordinator and she became friends with all of us,” McClelland said. “She was really good at bringing people together.”
He said even though she was em-ployed with the city of Issaquah, her salary was funded by all of the related agencies – King County, DNR, the forest service, state parks and the cities of Is-saquah and Seattle.
Dave Kappler, the president of the Issaquah Alps Trail Club and a former member of the Issaquah City Council
said Macleod was wonderful at writing — and securing — grants.
“She was responsible for the open parcels we have now,” Kappler said. “She secured tens of millions of dol-lars in grants not only for Issaquah but also property around the Mountain to Sound Greenway. She was also a won-derful woman to be around; she will be missed.”
Kappler said there was a very well attended gathering Jan. 5 in her honor at the trail house near the community center, where many people remembered her fondly.
McClelland and Kappler both said the lung cancer diagnosis was a surprise since Macleod didn’t smoke. McClelland added that she was already at stage four when it was caught. An avid swimmer, runner and hiker, she became concerned when she couldn’t catch her breath.
Macleod is survived by her husband, Stephen Stanley, who works for the Washington State Department of Ecol-ogy as a wetland expert, and two sons, Scott and Rory Stanley.

Lake Washington schools seeking volunteers
�e Lake Washington School District’s LINKS program is seeking volunteers to help students. Volunteers meet once a week with a student or a small group of students to prac-tice math, reading, writing or science.
Volunteer opportunities include being an academic mentor, providing classroom help, or tutoring students during a�er school study programs. Volunteers are needed throughout Sammamish, Kirkland and Redmond.
Currently, LINKS has 40 unmet requests for volunteers. �e requests range from kin-dergarten through high school.
Elementary school requests include class-room volunteers to help kids with reading, writing and math. Middle and high school sta� have requested volunteers to work with students during lunch-time and a�er school study programs. While some students are struggling with science and math, others need help with writing and organizational skills. Organizational skills help students keep track of assignments and test dates.
More information is available on the LINKS page on the Lake Washington School District website (www.lwsd.org). To register for an upcoming volunteer orientation, email Nanci Wehr at [email protected] or call 425-936-1410.

A second teacher at Eastside Catholic School has announced that she is gay and engaged to her partner. Stephanie Merrow teaches part-time at the school and is cho-reographing the school's musical.
�e news follows the Dec. 19 �ring of Mark Zmuda, the school's vice principal, af-ter it became known he had married his gay partner. �e school said Zmuda violated a contract he signed with the school to adhere to teachings of the Catholic church. Students
at Eastside Catholic, and other schools, have protested the �ring.
Merrow said she doesn't think she signed the same contract that Zmuda did, since she works part time.
“What I signed just said I’d go with the Catholic teachings, which, from what I understand are love and following the words of Jesus Christ, which I had no problem with. I’m not Catholic, I told them I wasn’t Catholic, but it didn’t say anything about not being gay.”
Merrow said she was concerned about
how the school would react to her engage-ment, but she said she went into the school Tuesday, Jan. 7, for rehearsal.
“�ey (the school) have not contacted me at all,” Merrow said. “I walked right in and did my job, and walked right out. I didn’t try to make a big deal about it. No one stopped me or said anything. �e kids hugged me.”
Merrow said she knew that once her situ-ation was revealed it would be a big deal, but said she wasn’t going to lie because that went against her beliefs and values.
“�is generation (of students) just abso-lutely warms my heart," Merrow said. "�e fact that they walked out for (Zmuda) and that they protested and are making a huge statement. I love those kids, even the ones that don’t agree with gay marriage, I still love them. I couldn’t be more proud of those kids.”
Attempts by �e Reporter to contact the school's attorney were unsuccessful by deadline.

Randy Holeman, the owner of Karate West, in the new location at 5828 221st Pl. SE, the former home of Budget truck rental. � e renovation provided a pair of buildings, with a walkway in between, and four training � oors. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
New, larger Karate West still at home in IssaquahBY JOSH [email protected]
For Randy Holeman, it isn’t about the � ashy � nishes.
Of course, the state-of-the-art fabric duct system, new locker rooms and 9,000 square feet between its two newly zoned and constructed buildings are nice. But what makes the new site of Karate West special for Holeman, who opened the dojo with his wife Jan more than two decades ago, is the chance to come home.
A� er opening in the current Dominos Pizza location in downtown Issaquah back in 1989, Karate West quickly outgrew its roots, moving to a larger space down E. Lake Sammamish Pkwy. � at parcel eventually got annexed to Sammamish and when it also became too small to accom-modate the always growing number of youth, parents and experienced martial arts practitioners who frequent the dojo, Hole-man saw an opportunity.
“I picked Issaquah because of what it o� ered,” he said of locating the gym there decades ago. “It is a family community.”
Ginni Crawford and her family don’t call Issaquah home, and took a roundabout path to Karate West. But their story is representative of countless others over the years.
“We drove to � ve or six other martial arts
schools,” Crawford said. “When we stopped in, it just didn’t click.”
� eir search for a dojo originated in part because of her husband’s battle with cancer, which le� both parents in search of an out-let for their children that would reinforce the values they were teaching at home.
Her son, � ve-years-old at the time and described by Crawford as, “very shy,” was having an especially di� cult time with his father’s illness.
“When we got to Karate West, (man-ager) Ken (Watrous) walked up and shook my son’s hand,” she said. “It was a perfect match.”
For more than 15 years, as her kids grew up and became adults, and through
the most di� cult time in their lives, the synergy only grew. Crawford, who said she had trained in a di� erent style of Karate previously, began attending classes a year a� er her son at Karate West. Along with the emphasis on traditional and basic techniques, Crawford said she has been impressed with Holeman’s willingness to ensure students of all ages and ability levels can grow their skills and more importantly, their con� dence.
“It is almost as if they teach karate on the side, with life-skills as the main focus,” she said. “Every parent looks for that type of setup.”
Sammamish resident Kara Hobbs was no exception, and said her children were
eager to � nd a place to continue practicing the sport they had come to love while liv-ing in Los Angeles. When she heard about the programs at instructors at Karate West through word-of-mouth, they decided to give it a try.
Nearly seven years later, Hobbs is a black belt and her 12-year-old is set to earn one in short order, with those accomplishments telling only a small part of the story.
“You can learn self-defense anywhere,” she said. “What Ken and Sensei Holeman bring to the table is a way of life — being responsible, respectful, having a goal and working hard to achieve it.”
� ose principles have been the pillars of Karate West in each of its past lives around Issaquah and with its new facility providing 40 percent more training space and 9,000 square feet of over three separate � oors, Holeman said instructors will be able to provide more e� cient instruction to even more students.
While the building is new, the connec-tion Karate West has to Issaquah has not changed despite the three moves.
Holeman said he does not allow youths to test for black belts unless they are maintaining a 3.0 grade point average, and requires students be passing all of their classes in order to test for any belt. To that ends, Karate West established a scholarship fund and has given out more than $250,000 in $1,000 scholarships over the past 25 years. � e only requirements for eligibility are graduating from high school with a 3.0 GPA and earning a black belt.
“It is what we’re all about,” Holeman said, adding the dojo also hosts a program called, “Academic All-Stars,” where students are encouraged toward high achievement in school and o� ered assistance with studying techniques. “We really believe being a black belt between the ears is more important than being one between the � sts.”

SEAHAWKS FANS – AND DOGS – SHOW SUPPORT
MERRY SEAHAWKSMichael and Lizz Eng of Issaquah made it a “Blue Se-ahawks” Christmas this year as Michael spent more than 40 hours decorat-ing their house in Talus at Christmas.� e couple have been ‘Hawks ticket holders for the past 11 years.
SEAHAWKS TOTEM
� e Donaldson family spent the summer supporting the 2013 Hawks by building a sacred totem in their backyard. As John Donaldson said, “At certain times in the summer, the sun hits the Hawk at a stunningly precise angle, much like ancient emblems on the peak of a Mayan temple.”
Maria Casson, Rosalie Revezs and Laura Revezs won the group Halloween contest at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland as Seahawks fans as they dressed their dogs as a quarterback, Seagal cheerleader and the ball itself.

Issaquah Citizen Corps will o�er an emergency response class in a new, shorter format this month.
�e Community Emer-
gency Response Team program provides basic training in disaster readiness and rescue skills to save lives and people and property during the �rst three to seven minutes, the most critical period until responders may respond. Training provides classroom lectures and discussions with hands-on experience. �e course is taught by FEMA certi�ed
CERT trainers and subject-matter experts.
Course highlights are:n Learning how to
prepare and respond in the event of an emergency or disaster.n Learning to use a �re
extinguisher and put out a �re.n Mastering �rst aid
basics.n Training on how to
triage injuries.n Gaining practical
knowledge for light search and rescue.n Practicing skills in drill
scenarios.Classes are weekly on
Saturday starting Jan. 18, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be held at the Issaquah Public Works building, 670 First Ave. N.E. �e series ends with a disaster simulation drill on March 8.
Cost is $35 and covers course materials and a basic CERT backpack. For more information or to register for the classes, go to Is-saquahCitizenCorps.org.
national audience,” Dellann said. “We are proud to locate our worldwide headquarters and patient support services center in Redmond.”
While the Chris Elliott Fund has been providing free brain tumor patient and caregiver services for the past 11 years, Dellann said that having a physical space for their organi-
zation will allow them to more e�ectively respond to the thousands of worldwide inquiries that come into their Patient Support Services Center every month. �e fund is now looked upon nationally as an expert in the �eld and recently has been asked to set up a patient support center in Boston, Dellann said.
“�e ultimate goal of the Chris Elliott Fund is to end brain cancer through education, awareness, advocacy and research through our day to day direct patient support services and through public education,” Dellann said. “�rough these means, CEF can get brain tumor patients into advanced treatments and clinical trials immediately and make genomic testing and DNA sequencing part of the standard protocol for each brain tumor patient.”
Once these goals are achieved, Dellann said, pharmaceuti-cal companies will invest more money into various options
for brain cancer patients, giving them more treatment outlets. Her goal is to turn the treatment of the disease into more of a maintenance approach until, ultimately, a cure can be found.
Former Sammamish city council member John Curley is on the Chris Elliott Fund Advocacy Board and Kathy Huckabay, newly re-appointed Sammamish City Council member, has been a long-time supporter, said Dellann. �e vice president of the organization, Tamara DePorter, is also a Sammamish resident.
�e Brain Tumor Patient and Family Support Services Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. �e organization is always accepting new patients and inqui-ries. �ose who wish to donate can send a check made out to Chris Elliott Fund to its new headquarters at 14959 N.E. 95th St. Redmond 98052. More information is available at www.chriselliottfund.com.

Preparedness class o�ered in Issaquah
Bill Ptacek, director of the King County Library System since 1989, has resigned, e�ective Feb. 1, 2014, to be-come CEO of the Calgary Public Library in Alberta, Canada.
During his 25-year tenure, Ptacek’s vision for technology and collection
management kept the library system in the forefront of public libraries nationally. In 1990, it operated 36 community librar-ies with an annual circulation above nine million items. Under Ptacek, it grew as King County’s popu-lation and economy expanded and local municipalities voted to join the library
system.Voter-approved capital improvement
bond measures (passed in 1988 and 2004) funded new, replacement and expanded libraries, adding nearly 515,000 square feet of library space, while annual circulation grew to more than 22 million items. Voters also passed a one-year levy increase during the 2009 economic crisis, demonstrating the community’s support of the system.
�e library system typically shares one of the top three spots for highest circu-lating public library in the United States
and leads the U.S., Canada and Australia in eBook circulation. It was named Busi-est Library in 2010 and Library Journal’s 2011 Library of the Year.
“For Bill, this is a great opportunity to take on exciting new challenges…and it’s not easy to top the challenges Bill has tack-led with KCLS. We are sorry to see him go,” said KCLS Board Chair Lucy Krakowiak.
Julie Brand, director of community relations and marketing, has been ap-pointed to serve as interim director until a new director is hired.
