The often-passionate debate over the future of the Providence Heights College campus is about to veer into new territory.

The Issaquah School District’s Board of Directors on July 13 will consider authorizing condemnation of the property, which has been at the center of a dispute pitting historic preservation groups and

former students against a Kirk-land megachurch and a Bellevue developer.

Condemnation is the process of implementing eminent domain to take private property for public use. State law permits school districts to employ eminent domain to acquire property as sites for schools.

Jake Kuper, the school district’s chief of finance and operations, said in an email the district “has

identified a need for property to accommodate a new high school and a new elementary school, both funded as a part of the recent bond measure.”

The district wants to obtain three parcels totaling 40.6 acres owned since 2008 by Plateau Campus LLC, a company controlled by The City Church of Kirkland.

Bernard Garbusjuk will be inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame this October after nearly 35 years of owning and operating Boehm’s Candies. “I still have to keep in mind what Boehm’s and Julius Boehm’s legacy is all about,” Garbusjuk says.

Somewhere in the background, Bernard Garbusjuk is moving briskly from one job to the next with the en-ergy of a man half his age. He is driven by the determi-nation to preserve the legacy of Boehm’s Candies that the founder, Julius Boehm, established 60 years ago in the Issaquah foothills.

“I have great admiration for Julius, because he is the soul of this business,” said Garbusjuk. “We are all tools to his legacy.”

Boehm is never far from Garbusjuk’s mind. He is often asking himself; “What would Julius think of Boehm’s Candies today? Is it a good store? Is it a bad store?”

An answer could be found in the honor Garbusjuk’s peers in the candy industry are bestowing upon him this fall by inducting him into the Candy Hall of Fame, the industry’s most prestigious honor.

Fellow candymaker Charles Flavelle of Purdys Chocolatier in Vancouver, British Columbia, nominated

Off the beaten path, far from the bustle of downtown Issaquah, the sweet smell of chocolate beckons visitors to peek through the windows of an Alpine chalet to watch the Boehm’s Candies crew hard at work.

Some are stretching toffee or hand-dipping individual candies, others are mixing sugar and milk for the next batch or leading a group on a tour of the candy factory.

To create a more pedestrian-friendly Olde Town, the City of Issaquah is in the process of doubling the width of some sidewalks along Front Street.

The construction project’s primary goal on Front Street is to improve stormwater drainage by eliminat-ing ponding on the sidewalk, but it will also make curb ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, improve crosswalks by installing rapid-flash bea-cons and extend the width of the sidewalk along the east side of the street.

“Wider sidewalks make for a better pedestrian expe-rience,” said Issaquah’s Transportation Manager Kurt Seeman. “It’s going to be a great place to linger and meet your friends.”

The driving lanes will narrow to accommodate wider sidewalks, but city planners say parking will remain unchanged.

“We believe we are maintaining the same amount of parking,” said Seeman.

Also this summer, the city plans to upgrade the rail-road crossing at Front Street and Northwest Dogwood

Courtney Jaren, executive director of the Issaquah Valley Senior Center, feels the city is out to destroy the organization that runs the facility.

To support her suspicions, Jaren refers to a June 24 letter from Mayor Fred Butler to Issaquah Valley Seniors, which manages the center. The letter points to the group’s lease, calling into question its insurance status and whether the facility is actually being run as a senior center.

“Do we think the city is trying to get this lease taken away from us? Yes, we do,” Jaren said.

City officials did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Sunset Beach to close for the summer

Lake Sammamish State Park’s Sunset Beach will close to the public this summer as it receives some much-needed improve-ments.

The state Parks and Recreation Commission will begin work on July 10 to improve the beach, swim-ming area and habitat. Visitors can expect to see temporary fencing installed around the swimming beach area to prevent public ac-cess during construction, which will continue through November.

The Sunset Beach parking lot, picnic area and bath-house will remain open. Nearby Tibbetts Beach will also be open.

The closure during the busy summer months is nec-essary because the in-water work must be done during

the “fish window”— the period of time when work is least likely to negatively af-fect fish, particularly salmon, according to a state parks news release.

The Sunset Beach reno-vation will help improve water quality for swimming, provide a better sandy beach for sunbathing and restore wetlands and the shoreline.

Work will include add-ing new sand to the beach to improve the underwater conditions at the swim area, which is silty and grassy with low visibility. Additional projects include adding a wheelchair-accessible path to the swimming area, build-ing a discovery sandbox for kids, installing new benches in front of the Sunset Beach bathhouse and continuing shoreline and wetland resto-ration work.

Only the façade of a build-ing erected in 1948 at 141 Front Street N. remains after other structural portions of the former nail salon were unable to meet current seis-mic standards.

A project originally de-scribed as a remodel and expansion of the 68-year-old building is currently under-way at the site.

“The applicant intended to keep the exterior walls and struc-ture,” Issaquah Senior Planner Amy Tarce said in an email.

“When the building permit was applied and reviewed,” Tarce said, “it was deter-mined that the building has to meet current seismic standards and in the pro-cess, they had to replace the existing structural members

completely.”Plans show the new build-

ing will be more than three times larger than the original structure and include a second story, a sod roof and a rear garden.

County records indicate the property is owned by Zachary Smith. According to plans, a real estate development firm will take over the space.

First, Butler’s letter warned IVS it was close to missing a deadline to notify the city its liability insurance had been renewed.

“IVS current liability insur-ance coverage expires on July 1, 2016,” Butler wrote. “Un-der Section 15.2, the City was required to receive a copy of said policy renewal 30 days in advance of the expiration date.”

Butler gave IVS until June 30 to show it was in com-pliance with its insurance requirements.

Jaren replied in a June 26 letter to the city, assuring the mayor IVS’ insurance agent would verify it was covered and there had been no lapse in coverage.

“We have no plans to cancel insurance coverage,” Jaren wrote. “We are continu-ing to contract with the same company that has insured our senior center operations and management for the last 15 years. Our renewed insurance contract goes into effect July 1, 2016.”

The second disagreement over the lease stems from the facility’s continued use as a senior center.

Butler’s letter points to Sec-tion 3, which states the facility must be used “solely for the purpose of operating a senior center and related social and health care services and for no other purpose without written consent of the Land-lord.”

Butler wanted IVS to pro-vide documentation, outside its newsletter, “of the pro-grams IVS is providing, and has provided and the partici-pation of the community in those programs.”

In Jaren’s reply to Butler, she countered that IVS was in strict compliance with the

lease. “We have not changed any

of our activities, programs or services even though the City canceled our 2016 grant funding,” she wrote, referenc-ing the City Council’s vote in February to pull $99,000 in city funding to IVS. “Since the City no longer financially sup-ports our operations, there is no duty to report anything regarding our operations. The manner in which we operate a senior center is entirely and solely within our discretion. There are no stipulations under our City lease to sup-port your request to report ‘metrics.’ ”

Section 3 of the lease reads, “The facility shall not be used for sectarian instructions, as a place for religious wor-ship or for partisan political purposes.”

Jaren said in an email to The Press that because the center is not open on Satur-days and Sundays, it’s had a verbal agreement with Mountain Creek Christian Fellowship to use the building for its worship services for the past five years.

“We sought, and obtained, verbal approval for this activ-ity from former Mayor Ava Frisinger and City Adminis-trator Bob Harrison,” Jaren wrote.

Frisinger confirmed that there had been a verbal agreement between her and IVS.

“It goes back quite a

ways,” she said. “But it was something short-term over a situation the church didn’t have a building of its own and could use the center in the interim.”

Jaren said the city never wrote up an exception to the lease for Mountain Creek’s usage and indicated she’d received assurances the city attorney would take care of it over the summer.

“Since the Center does not conduct any senior services or activities on Sunday (with the exception of our Salmon Days sales once a year), our board did not see MCCF’s usage to be a conflict with center activ-ities, programs and services,” Jaren said by email.

Section 21 of the lease states IVS would be in default, giving the city the right to terminate the lease, if “lessee shall fail to operate a senior center.”

Jaren expressed no worries in her reply to Butler.

“We see no reasons why the City of Issaquah would not continue its legacy commitment to support Issaquah Senior Center in 2016, just as it has for the last 32 years,” she wrote. “To do otherwise appears to a majority of seniors in our community to be a failure on the part of City leadership and a breach of the City’s duties and responsibilities to provide support for the ma-jority of older citizens who built our City.”

Mayor Fred Butler named Jeff Watling Issaquah’s next parks and recreation director.

Watling most recently served as the City of Kent’s parks, recreation and com-munity services director, and prior to that he was the parks and recreation director for the City of Sammamish.

“Jeff’s breadth of experi-ence in customer service, parks planning and open space preservation is an excellent addition to our team

and com-munity,” Butler said in the city’s announce-ment.

Watling will begin work Aug. 1. He is

replacing Anne McGill, who retired in March after 33 years in the Parks and Recre-ation Department.

“Our parks and recreation

opportunities play a major role in enhancing our citi-zens’ quality of life,” Watling said in the city’s announce-ment. “Issaquah provides a breathtaking venue to offer such important services. I’m excited to work toward the City’s goal of building a healthier community while enhancing our regionally-known parks and recreation programs.”

Watling’s yearly salary will be $155,532.

Former sportscaster Tony Ventrella’s short-lived experi-ment in running a campaign for Congress without solicit-ing campaign donations has come to an end.

Barely two months after announcing his candidacy, Ventrella, a Democrat, is quit-ting the race for the 8th Con-gressional District seat held by U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Auburn.

In an email, Ventrella cited undisclosed personal reasons, but also “tepid” interest in his call for ordinary voters to band together to fight big money in politics.

He’d hoped enough small donors would flock to his campaign so he wouldn’t have to sully himself with

calls to big-dollar donors. That didn’t happen. He raised less than $20,000 from 177 donors.

“As a result, my campaign doesn’t have enough money to move forward and I will not make phone calls for money,” Ventrella said in an email.

Ventrella, a Newcastle resi-dent who serves on the city’s Community Activities Com-mission, did not live in the 8th District, but he initially indicated he would move if he won office.

His exit comes after he’d already been certified by Sec-retary of State Kim Wyman’s

office to appear on the Au-gust 2 primary ballot.

That could cause head-aches for Democrats. If Ventrella is one of the top two vote-getters in the primary, he’ll advance to the general-election ballot despite ending his campaign.

While he was the best-known, Ventrella isn’t the only Democrat to step into the race against Reichert.

Other candidates include real-estate broker and proper-ty manager Santiago Ramos, and Alida Skold, who owns a financial consulting firm.

While Reichert was a top target for Democrats in some previous election cycles, his district grew safer in a round of redistricting after the 2010 census. His re-election fund had $650,000 in the bank at the end of March.

Actions by City Council, mayor againstsenior center are a disservice to community

Just wondering: If the Issaquah Valley Senior Center were forced to close tomorrow, would the City of Issaquah be prepared to immediately and seam-lessly provide the multiple offerings including, but not limited to, classes (art, exercise, yoga, etc.) meals, legal assistance, family and personal counseling, foot care, dentistry, insurance help, baked goods, flowers, transportation, trips and more that seniors currently enjoy and from which they benefit.

Or would those many seniors go without? I recom-mend you ask the City Council and the mayor, who claim to care for and about them. The City Council withheld $99,000 from the senior center, a relatively small price to pay considering the city has allocated thousands of dollars more for its plans. (Our tax dol-lars, by the way.)

Tell your City Council and mayor to restore those funds, and perhaps even more, now. Show seniors, who comprise more than 20 percent of Issaquah resi-dents, that they have their best interests in mind.

I wonder — doesn’t the city have enough to do in their multiple departments, commissions, task forces, etc.? Do they really need to reinvent the senior ser-vices wheel?

Traffic

Lack of parking creates unsafe conditions for pedestrians, drivers on Issaquah-Hobart Road

I am concerned about a safety issue on Issaquah-Hobart Road south of Issaquah in the vicinity of the Hang Glider Trail, Chirico Trail. Many people like the short hike to the takeoff meadow at Poo Poo Point. However, the parking is not sufficient, and on many nice days and even cloudy ones, I encounter on my

way north from Maple Valley pedestrians walking along the side of the road from parking some distance away. Families, even bikers on certain days of the week, and cars are not a good mix on a two-lane road with no sidewalks.

There are other ways to Poo Poo Point and many other enjoyable hikes on Cougar and Squak moun-tains. Something needs to be done to ameliorate the crowding on this stretch of the road. Solutions? Anyone?

City Council ignored the negatives that accompany retail marijuana shops in Issaquah

The June 17 City Council meeting addressed a num-ber of items. One of the items addressed was pot usage in Issaquah.

Representatives of the two Issaquah retail pot licensees made pleas to the council to relax some of the council restrictions. One of them bragged about the big amount of money he has made and how much that was put into the City of Issaquah’s coffers. Note: The more pot stores the council allows, the more competition there will be, leading to lower prices. Folks, why would the council want that?

However, not one of the councilmembers addressed pot usage’s drastic impact on health issues. There is a ban on fireworks within the Issaquah city limits because of the potential dangers that come with fireworks. Yet they overlook the dangers of daily pot usage.

In addition, pot is an illegal drug in the eyes of the federal government, but the Obama administration has closed its eyes on this item. None of the councilmembers addressed this in their discussions.

Does it appear to you the council has our best health interests in mind?

Are PFOS levels in our blood elevated?City owes it to citizens to find out the truth

We’ll start with the good news about Is-saquah’s municipal water system.

As we reported on the front page last week, the treatment system leased by the city to remove perfluorinated chemicals from Gilman Well No. 4 water is getting the job done. The results of a test conducted last month showed no detection of PFOS (perfluorooc-tane sulfonate) or five other PFCs.

The fast-tracked plan presented by the city’s Public Works leaders to the City Council in April worked as advertised.

The city also issued its annual water quality report last month, and unlike past years, it features expanded data that is clearly ex-plained to users. A section discuss-es PFCs. That’s another positive step.

But it’s not the end of the story about PFOS and its presence in Well No. 4.

Consider: It’s unknown how long PFOS was contaminating Issaquah’s tap water at levels once regarded as acceptable but now considered unsafe by the EPA

There are three key dates to consider:

n 1948, when 3M began the commercial production of PFOS, which was used for decades in

Scotchgard products, firefighting foam and coat-ings used for grease and oil resistance on paper packag-ing.

n 1987, when the city drilled Gilman Well No. 4.

n 2015, when the city

first tested water “at the tap” for PFOS.

In 2015, the tap water tested was a blend from Well No. 4 and Gilman Well No. 5, and showed a maximum PFOS level of 0.106 parts per billion.

At the time of the test, 0.106 parts per billion was below the Environmental Protection Agency’s provisional health advisory level of 0.2 parts per billion, a benchmark established in 2009.

Today, however, PFOS guidelines are more stringent. In May, the EPA replaced its provisional level with a new lifetime advisory level of 0.07 parts per billion for PFOS and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) combined. The lower guideline was “based on the agency’s assess-ment of the latest peer-reviewed science,” the EPA says.

PFOS is known to cause liver damage and birth defects in lab animals. Research on its effects on humans is still evolving.

Issaquah’s tap water tested in 2015 — within the PFOS guidelines at the time — would be considered unsafe today.

In its 2015 water quality report and on its water quality web page online, the city points out the EPA’s lifetime health advisory for PFOS and PFOA is “not enforceable or regulated.”

This statement is disingenuous. In Hoosick Falls, N.Y., last year, where high levels of PFOA were de-tected in public drinking water, the EPA intervened and told citizens to stop drinking the city’s water. If that’s not regulating, I don’t know what is.

The Hoosick Falls contamination has exploded into a contentious statewide issue with accusations of inaction similar to what occurred in Flint, Mich. The governor of New York, state legislators, federal officials and irate citizens have been swept up into a drawn-out disagreement over what to do next. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been invited by a state assemblyman to swim in the Hoosick Falls village pool, while state Senate Democrats are demanding a legislative hear-ing on the contamination crisis.

The state government in New

York has stepped up and paid for free water sampling tests and free blood testing for residents of Hoo-sick Falls, and offered free water filtration systems — including installation — for approximately 1,500 homes.

Here in Issaquah, between the drilling of Gilman Well No. 4 and the first test of tap water for PFOS, a 28-year period exists where we have no idea whether PFOS was in our drinking water at unsafe levels.

That uncertainty demands someone, be it the city or state, make available blood testing for anyone who wants it, provided their home or business or place of employment received water from Well No. 4 prior to 2015.

Consider: The source of the PFOS contamination, when it occurred and who is responsible are still unknown

The city has hired Geosyntec, a consulting and engineering firm, as part of an effort to determine the source of the PFOS contamina-tion at Gilman Well No. 4

When news of the contamination first surfaced, some blamed a 2002 tanker fire on Interstate 90 near the well site. Large amounts of firefighting foam from Boeing and Seattle-Tacoma International Air-port trucks were used on the fire.

But now experts say the acci-

dent site has been determined to be downstream from the well site.

Gilman Well No. 4 draws water from the aquifer at a depth of between 77 and 102 feet. The well is located just south and east of where Interstate 90 crosses Issaquah Creek. The city bought the site from developer Richard Catterall in 1984.

The closest buildings to the well’s pumphouse are the Issaquah Medical Center at 450 NW Gilman Blvd and the U.S. Postal Service building at 400 NW Gilman Blvd.

Was something containing PFOS manufactured or dumped on the land in the 1950s, ’60s or ’70s, prior to the city’s ownership? If you have information regarding the history of the well site, I’m sure the city would be eager to talk with you.

If you’re a longtime user of Issaquah’s tap water, now is the time to speak up and insist on action. The city is responsible for the quality of the water it provides. Not knowing about the presence of PFOS because the city wasn’t required to test for it does not absolve those responsible for the safety of our water supply.

The church has said it has a purchase agreement in place with a Bellevue developer, Brix-ton Homes LLC, which has filed plans with the City of Issaquah to build a 140-home subdivi-sion on the site.

George Reece, the manag-ing partner of Brixton Homes who has also served as an officer for a charitable group operated by The City Church, declined to comment. A request for comment emailed to Troy Anderson, a City Church execu-tive pastor and the manager of Plateau Campus, was not returned.

King County’s most recent valuation of the three parcels totals $33.8 million. In April, voters approved a $533.5 million school construction bond that included a new high school, a new middle school and two new elementary schools. The land acquisition portion of the bond was bud-geted at $97 million.

Under the state’s eminent domain laws, if a school district and a landowner cannot agree on compensation, the matter goes to superior court. The ac-tual acquisition of the property, however, is not slowed.

The Sisters of Providence opened the 220,000-square-foot college in 1961 as a divinity school. The campus, located at 4221 228th Ave. SE, was later operated by the Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle before the 40-acre site was acquired by The City Church for $22.7 million in 2008, according to county property records.

An audit by the state Depart-ment of Revenue released June 21 determined The City Church forfeited its tax-exempt status on most of the property in August 2014. As a result, the church is facing a current tax bill in the hundreds of thou-sands of dollars, county records indicate.

The future of the campus’ buildings, which include a gymnasium, swimming pool, kitchen, cafeteria and class-rooms, has gone from doomed to muddled. Kuper gave no indication whether the district would consider repurposing any of the structures.

For months, preservationists have sought a route to sav-ing the campus buildings, in particular the central chapel, a striking example of midcentury religious architecture. Designed by Seattle architect John W. Maloney, the chapel features 14 sculptured stained glass works by master artist Gabriel Loire, who crafted the 33-foot-tall windows in 1957 at his studio just north of Chartres, France.

“Our position has not changed and will not change,” said Jennifer Mortensen, preservation services coordina-tor for the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. “We will be for advocating for the preservation of the campus, regardless of whether it’s a developer involved or a school district.”

Gabriel Loire and the stained glassof Providence Heights

Loire (1904-1996) created 14 windows plus mosaic works for the midcentury modern chapel

Gabriel Loire studied the art of stained glass while at the Catholic University of Angers in France. He wrote his thesis on stained glass at

the age of 20 and eventually opened his own studio in 1946.

The Sisters of Providence commis-sioned Loire in 1957 to craft the sculp-tured stained-glass windows for the Providence Heights chapel. They were created at the Loire studio just north of Chartres, France, and then shipped to Issaquah and installed in 1960 during construction of the chapel.

There are 14 Loire windows at the Providence Heights chapel. Triangular in shape, they are 33 feet tall. Seven of the windows on one side of the chapel illustrate the Seven Sorrows of Mary. The remaining seven windows depict works of mercy performed by the Sisters of Providence.

Loire did not see the windows in their chapel setting until 1983, when he paid an unannounced visit to Providence Heights.

Loire’s technique is known as “dalle de verre” in France and his work can be found in more than 800 venues worldwide. Dalle de verre windows are thicker and stronger than traditional stained glass.

Loire also created more than a dozen small mosaic works for the chapel. They depict the Stations of the Cross and were hung on the chapel’s walls below each window. Because the chapel’s cur-rent owner has denied access to the building, their fate is unknown.

Why preservationists see historic importance at Providence Heights

It’s likely the college was one of only two in U.S. founded specifically to promote higher education for Catholic sisters

The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation is spearheading the effort to save the Providence Heights College campus from potential demolition.

The group says the campus “is sig-nificant for its association with the Sister Formation Movement and as a rare example of modernist architecture expressed in a Catholic chapel interior prior to Vatican II reforms.”

The Trust adds: “The Sister Formation Movement promoted college education for sisters, and it appears this college was one of only two in the nation founded specifically for this purpose. The college was founded as a result of the crisis that ensued when a new theology of authority and obedience among American sisters (influenced by American culture, educa-tion and the Second Vatican Council) col-lided with older, more traditional theologi-cal interpretations, profoundly changing the experience of Catholic women in the United States.”

Architectural significance is also cited by preservation groups as a reason to save the campus. The college was designed by John W. Maloney, a promi-nent regional architect, and the chapel is regarded as an outstanding example of modernist interpretation of Gothic design elements. The stained-glass windows by French artist Gabriel Loire were once a tourist attraction, drawing tens of thou-sands of visitors, according to a 1984 story in The Issaquah Press.

The Trust maintains a “Save Providence Heights” Facebook page to help organize those supporting preservation of the campus.

Garbusjuk because of the contributions he has made to the association of candymak-ers and the Issaquah com-munity.

Flavelle is appreciative of the overseas trips Garbusjuk organized through the years bringing together North American and European candymakers to learn from each other.

The two have passed trade secrets back and forth during the 35 years they have known each other.

“Everything has changed, yet nothing has changed,” said Garbusjuk, reflecting back on the last 44 years he has been with Boehm’s.

They still make their sweets in small batches, individually dipping their candies and hand-rolling each truffle, but have added new products to adjust to customer demands. It’s a fine balance Garbus-juk said he must walk. He refuses to upgrade by adding modern multi-million-dollar machines to his factory, call-ing it a death wish. There are machines in the candy factory, but to ensure an even coating, a personal touch is still needed.

“I still have to keep in mind what Boehm’s and Julius Boehm’s legacy is all about,” said Garbusjuk. “We are surviving in Issaquah and the Northwest because we try to keep our uniqueness.”

Garbusjuk’s journey began with a little bit of luck.

Growing up in East Germa-ny, Garbusjuk happened to be visiting an uncle in northern Italy on Aug. 13, 1961, the day construction began on the Berlin Wall, dividing his homeland. His parents told him not to come home, be-lieving life would be easier for him in the west. It was three long years before he would see his mother again and 11 before he would be reunited with his father.

Unable to return home, separated from his parents and living as a refugee in West Germany, 17-year-old Garbusjuk needed to support himself. He decided to be-come a pastry chef — an old family trade. He flourished, apprenticing and working in the best restaurants.

“I had a wonderful life and no need for coming here (to the U.S.),” Garbusjuk said. But his options were limited, and he had already risen to the highest ranks.

Economic foresight, a desire to explore more of the world and a green card brought Garbusjuk to Seattle. Despite not being able to speak a sentence of English, Garbusjuk moved across the ocean in 1968 after he was

told, “coffee is free, people are friendly and open-mind-ed.”

While working in a German restaurant in Seattle, fortune struck again. A roommate of his, Walter Schafer, carved the wood that gives Boehm’s Candies’ chalet its distinc-tive look. Schafer introduced Garbusjuk to Boehm.

For nearly 10 years, Garbusjuk worked closely under Boehm, becoming head candymaker and eventu-ally taking over the business

when Boehm died in 1981. Garbusjuk called Boehm tough, demanding perfection during Garbusjuk’s training.

Today, you can still find Garbusjuk puttering around the factory, and every few months, after a bit of ex-perimentation, he creates a new candy. Currently, he is perfecting a chocolate with a burst of vinegar inside. Without enough staff to ex-ecute production, these new confections rarely make it to the retail shop.

After showing little interest in carrying on the family busi-ness, his daughter and son have since joined him on staff, to Garbusjuk’s delight. But he still has no plans to retire. Though the upstairs office is often chaos, as the third generation of chocolatiers still in diapers comes to work each day with their parents, it’s truly a family business.

Garbusjuk’s gives all the credit of Boehm’s Candies’ legacy to Julius Boehm: “I don’t think I could have done what Julius did to start the company.”

His daughter, Narissa Garbusjuk Burton, is quick to interject, “I don’t think just anybody could have come in here after Julius and this place would still be here.”

Burton said her dad strives to keep with Julius’ vision but has the difficult job of balanc-ing tradition with the de-mands of the industry today.

Garbusjuk, along with 11 other confectionary industry leaders, will be inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame this October in Tampa, Fla.

“The class of 2016 rep-resents a diverse group of individuals from a range of disciplines who have all served the industry with honor,” wrote John Leipold of the National Confectionery Sales Association in a press release.

“The best credit is not how good we are, but how bad the other people are, and how hard we try to be a little bit better,” Garbusjuk said.

projects are just the first stage of construction, which the city anticipates will end before Salmon Days in early October. Construction is happening from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday to minimize impact on businesses and traffic.

Streetscape planning is the second step to Front Street redevelopment, and it will begin this fall with con-struction to follow. Accord-ing to Issaquah’s Economic Development Manager Andrea Synder, the city is delaying streetscaping so

the community can help shape the plan.

“Unfortunately, we can’t have the streetscape project done at the same time,” said Synder, “because it still hasn’t gone through the community process.”

Seeman said 3-foot plant-ers with potted plants will temporarily replace the seven trees the city removed due to construction.

The proposed King County septic-tank fee has been pulled for now, but many septic users around the county worry they haven’t seen the last of it.

King County Director of Public Health Patty Hayes announced her decision to pull the proposal to a packed house of hundreds at Snoqualmie Valley Alliance Church in Fall City on June 28.

The announcement was met with loud cheers, ap-plause and a standing ova-tion.

The proposed fee of up to $37 arose from concerns about the water quality and amount of fecal bacteria in Puget Sound. Poor water quality has forced the clo-sure of shellfish harvesting in many areas around the sound.

The Environmental Protec-tion Agency says that septic systems can provide excel-lent wastewater treatment, and have public health and environmental benefits. However, poorly functioning septic systems can have the opposite effect, according to the EPA. Some problems involve contamination of sur-face water and groundwater

with disease-causing patho-gens and nitrates, which is detrimental to shellfish beds and swimming beaches.

Local and state regula-tions require King County to provide on-site sewage system oversight, but there is currently no sustainable funding source for programs in place, according to the county’s proposal. King County says it cannot provide sufficient customer service, technical assistance and case management, nor conduct pollution source tracking or education and outreach, without more funding.

Many speakers at the June 28 meeting said septic inspectors are unnecessary when you have responsible homeowners.

“When systems fail, they fail up in your backyard,” North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing said. “You know, your neighbors know, some-body calls the county. That’s the best way to let that hap-pen.”

Many King County septic owners see the fee proposal as a way for densely popu-lated urban areas to push their problems onto rural residents.

“I don’t see that this is the last we’ll hear on this issue,” North Bend resident Jean Jackson said.

Street and resurface Front Street North from Sunset Way to the bridge across the East Fork of Issaquah Creek.

The current Front Street

construction is over. “I’d rather have people

walking on Front Street than parking in front of my store,” Spears said.

Karen Donovan, executive director of the Downtown Issaquah Association, is impressed with the speed of the Front Street construc-tion.

“In the end, it will be great,” Donovan said. “It will only make our down-town better and more walk-able.”

Not all business owners are as optimistic about the project. Claude Blumenz-weig, owner of Vino Bella, said many customers just stay away once they know construction is happening.

“I’d rather they do something about the traffic instead of worrying about extending the sidewalk,” Blumenzweig said.

Susan Bridges, owner of Yum-e Yogurt, said con-struction isn’t as bad as she thought it would be, but the temporary lack of parking in front of her shop does make it harder for her customers to quickly pull up and jump out to get their morning coffee.

Bridges is hopeful the project will generate more foot traffic but is concerned parking will still be an issue. She said a lot of people have told her they won’t stop downtown because they can’t find parking.

“This could be very good for business if we can get people out of their cars,” Bridges said.

THE ISSAQUAH PRESSAROUND THE WORLD

The Issaquah Press went on safari in Botswana last month with Mike and Priscilla Kaufmann.

Anti-Aircraft Peak Trail-head at King County’s Cougar Mountain Wildland Park was renamed in honor of Issaquah Alps Trails Club founder Harvey Manning.

“The impact that Har-vey Manning had on King County’s landscape is quite evident when looking at a map, or simply looking out the window of a car as it trav-els along Interstate 90 from Bellevue to Issaquah and beyond — past thousands of acres of protected public open space,” King County Parks Director Kevin Brown said in a news release.

Manning was a leading voice in the fight to preserve public open space in the Cascade foothills – including Cougar Mountain, which was scheduled to be developed into thousands of homes. He coined the term “Issaquah Alps” and was the club’s first president.

As a result of Manning’s conservation advocacy, Cou-gar Mountain is King County’s largest park and serves as the westernmost portion of public open space that stretches from the borders of Bellevue east past Issaquah.

A prolific author of hiking guidebooks and a founding

member of the Issaquah Alps Trail Club, Manning helped introduce thousands of people to the outdoors.

“Harvey founded the Is-saquah Alps Trails Club in 1979, leading hikes, wran-gling with politicians and saving thousands of acres of lowland forest on Cougar, Squak, Tiger, Taylor and Rattlesnake Mountains, the wild backyard of Seattle-Bel-levue urban areas,” said Karl Forsgaard, a board member of the Mountains to Sound Greenway.

“Harvey wrote of the low-lands and ‘wilderness within’ in his four-volume Footsore series,” Forsgaard continued. “Later, he helped launch the Mountains to Sound Green-way, linking and protecting green lands along the I-90 corridor. He is one of my heroes.”

King County officials and Issaquah Alps Trails Club members celebrated the name change in a June 29 ceremony.

Anti-Aircraft Peak Trail-head got its name from the Cold War-era missile instal-lation that was placed upon the high ground some six decades ago. Anti-Aircraft Peak will retain its name.

After building an eight-run lead in the fifth inning, the Issaquah 10- and 11-year-old Little League base-ball all-stars might have thought the game was over.

Trailing by eight runs, the East-lake all-stars might have given up.

Ask the opposing coaches about what transpired next and the an-swers were simple – neither team backed down and the close game they expected finally materialized.

Eastlake scored five runs in the fifth and had the tying run at the plate with two outs in the sixth. Connor Phillips, perhaps the big-gest player on the diamond, caught hold of a Preston Crockett pitch and sent it sailing toward the fence in center field.

For a brief instant, the ball looked like it was going out for three-run home run, but it died at the warning track and nestled into the center fielder’s glove, allowing Issaquah to escape with an 8-5 vic-tory on June 30 at Hartman Park in Redmond.

Issaquah appeared to be on cruise control in the winner’s bracket matchup at the District 9 tournament. They turned a 2-0 lead after three innings into an 8-0 cushion with six outs left and were headed for their third straight shutout at the tourney, on the heels of blowouts against Snoqualmie Valley and Kirkland American.

“We talked about the first two games that we had,” Issaquah manager Chi Pak said. “We won 15-0, 11-0 and we really just said, this game was going to be the game where our character was tested, that we were going to get chal-lenged, that we were going to get down.

“But character is when adversity sets in and what happens. What do you do with it? We knew this was going to happen, and so the young men were prepared and they fought through it, persevered.”

Eastlake’s comeback started in the fifth with a pair of singles and a Bryce Johnson sacrifice fly. Owen Coomes then drilled a two-run homer off Issaquah’s Owen Theis,

trimming the deficit to 8-3.Three batters later, it was Tyler

Jones who followed suit, hitting a two-run shot off Bryan Sfanos that made it an 8-5 game.

“Tyler Jones hit a line drive that went out, which was pretty fun, be-cause that ball only got, like, 20 feet off the ground,” Eastlake manager Matt Fitzgibbons said.

Johnson, who was Eastlake’s sixth pitcher of the night, gave his team a chance to complete the rally by striking out two batters in the top of the sixth.

In the bottom half, Luke Schlecht walked and Johnson singled,

putting Phillips at the plate for a game-tying opportunity he nearly grabbed hold of.

Eastlake had confidence, Fitzgib-bons said, because it faced similar circumstances four days earlier against Bellevue Thunderbird. The team trailed by two runs in its final at-bat and won with a walk-off grand slam.

“I think they kind of feed off (ral-lies), but we came up a little short today,” Fitzgibbons said. “Issaquah is a great team and that’s Little League baseball. One thing about Little League is, no lead is ever safe.”

Issaquah’s Ragen Kiefer was one of the stars for his team. He produced the game’s first run with a two-out, opposite-field RBI single. The second baseman also helped start a pair of double plays that got his pitchers out of trouble in the second and third innings.

“That really is just hard on teams when a double play is turned,” Kiefer said, “and it really picks us up if we turn the double play.”

Issaquah plated four runs in the fourth as Crockett launched a two-run homer and Theis came up with a two-out, two-run double to the

right-field gap.Two squib hits, two wild pitches

and an error helped Issaquah score twice more in the fifth.

“We’re just smashing the ball and that’s just always a good pick-up,” Kiefer said.

Pak and his coaches, Jeremy Kiefer and Josh Rataezyk, have tried to make baseball a teaching tool for bigger things.

“We’re always preaching ‘REAL,’” he said. “It’s an acronym – reject passivity, empathize with others, accept responsibility and lead courageously. And that’s been the model of the team.”

Danny Sinatro’s family already has a long history of success in baseball, but the recent Skyline High School graduate has a chance to be as good as or better than his father and two brothers.

On the final day of the Major League Baseball amateur draft, held June 9-11, Sinatro got the call that many high-school and collegiate players dream of. The Cleveland Indians selected him in the 40th round, the 1,202nd overall pick.

Sinatro, a shortstop, won’t be going pro quite yet. He has signed with Washington State and plans to honor his commitment, with the hopes of being drafted again after his junior season.

He said he spoke with some scouts prior to the draft and got an inkling about what might happen.

“I was still shocked getting that phone call because not a lot of kids get that phone call,” he said. “I’m just fortunate for the opportunity that was presented to me and it’s pretty cool stuff at the end of the day.”

Danny’s dad, Matt Sinatro, was a second-round pick of the At-lanta Braves in 1978. He bounced

around the big leagues for parts of 10 seasons, playing 140 games as a catcher for the Braves, Oakland Athletics, Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners.

Danny’s older brothers, Jimmy and Matt Jr., were also well known to Skyline fans. Jimmy, a catcher, was a 2012 draft choice of the Houston Astros and recently finished up his college career at Gonzaga. Matt Jr. has turned into a solid utility player at the University

of San Francisco, where he earned All-West Coast Conference honor-able mention honors as a junior.

Rob Reese, who has coached all three Sinatro boys with the Lake-side Recovery Senior American Legion program, said Danny has the mindset to be a standout at the next level.

“He plays 100 percent all the time. That’s contagious for the rest of us,” Reese said. “That doesn’t even count how good a player he

is – just his personality and his at-titude is what sets him apart from everybody else.”

At WSU, Danny will look to earn playing time under third-year coach Marty Lees. Sinatro said Lees has complimented his combination of speed, arm strength and left-handed hitting ability.

“I could be a shortstop,” he said. “I’m versatile enough to maybe play second or if push comes to shove, play center field.

“At the end of the day, I’m just looking to get at-bats early, because jumping up from high school to Division I pitching, it’s a little bit of a jump, so I want to get acclimated to Pac-12 pitching.”

Danny’s playing style is a lot like that of Matt Jr., who was 26 of 34 on stolen-base attempts for USF in 2016.

Reese is quick to point out Danny’s speed on the basepaths, but is even more impressed with the way he never gets too high or too low. Lakeside Recovery was losing a June 28 game in lopsided fashion, but Sinatro was continually cheering his teammates from the bench, the coach said.

“Danny could go 4-for-4 or 0-for-4 and you wouldn’t know it,” Reese said. “He’s bouncing around, hustling and having a great time.”

Winning is also in Danny’s blood. He was a starting receiver and de-fensive back for the Skyline football team that reached the Class 4A title game last fall, then scored 21 runs and stole 10 bases as the Spartans captured the 4A baseball crown in May.

“It definitely feels good going out on top and that’s probably what I’m going to remember,” he said. “And the guys, of course.”

Sinatro enjoys spotlight as WSU signee, Indians’ draft pickLakeside Recovery short-stop Danny Sinatro dives to try for a hit by Chaffey team batter Nic Roes during the third inning in their Senior American Legion baseball game June 28. Chaffey prevailed 15-3; Lakeside saw its record drop to 22-5.
