� e� s of catalytic converters — the devices that cut emissions on gas-powered automo-biles — are up in Issaquah.

� e city has seen eight recent cases of converters being stolen from underneath cars, Issaquah Police Det. Sgt. Chris Wilson said. � e the� s have been reported as occurring in large parking lots where criminal activity may be masked, including the Highlands Park and Ride and area Big Box shopping centers.

Targeted cars seem to be those with high suspensions, such as sport utility vehicles and trucks, possibly due to easier access to the un-dercarriage of the car, Wilson said. Removal can be as simple as using a basic ratchet set or metal-cutting saw, he said.

"We went quite a while without having any [the� s]," Wilson said. "From the research I've done, this type of the� typically depends on the prices of the metals — catalytic convert-ers have precious metals in their construc-tion. So a lot of the drive is based on the price of the metals: When prices for metals are down, we don't seem to have as many of these cases."

� e catalyst core of the auto parts typically contain platinum, palladium or rhodium.

Drivers can take a number of measures to protect themselves against the� , Wilson said. He suggested parking in well-lit areas, close to the higher-tra� c entrances and exits of parking lots; a vehicle alarm set to go o� from jostling of a car also may alert nearby people during a the� in progress.

Wilson added that he had found the� prevention locks for catalytic converters on the market, but said he could not personally con� rm the e� ectiveness of such products.

Catalytic converterthefts up in Issaquah

I had a recent dentist appointment and as I sat in the waiting room, I read a novel on my e-reader. A woman sit-

ting near me asked me how I could read on “that newfangled thing.”

During our conversa-tion she admitted to me that her daughter had bought her an e-reader for her birthday and she just didn’t know how to use it so she shoved it in the closet. When she learned that I was a librarian, she was

surprised. “Don’t these things take away from your business at the library?”

“We are busier than ever,” I assured her.

A librarian’s job is never done. I’ve embarrassed my kids by giving book

recommendations in airport bookstores and in line at Disneyland. I couldn’t wait to show her the possibilities of an e-reader, so I scooted closer and showed her how to download magazines. She was delighted since she had already perused everything in the waiting area. She thanked me, promising that she would take the reader out of the bottom of her closet and bring it to the library to ask for help.

People are o� en surprised at how many borrowing options there are in the King County Library System. Visit-ing the ebook and downloads page at www.kcls.org/downloads/ shows the options between books, audio down-loads, magazine downloads and video and music. If you’ve lost your KCLS library card, head in to a branch and get another.

Sta� members are happy to help with your download questions. You can visit a library or call Ask KCLS sta� at 425-462-9600.  With your library card and an internet connection, you can borrow any number or titles and formats to suit your needs and interests. Some of the best things in life really are free.

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian with the King County Library System. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.

Why buy when youcan borrow?

A Christmas poem for Congress

In honor of the season, the Reporter re-prints here the fa-mous letter to Santa and the response, by Francis P. Church, � rst published in � e New York Sun in 1897.

We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great grati� cation that its faithful

author is numbered among the friends of � e Sun:

Dear Editor —I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is

no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in � e Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

—Virginia O’Hanlon

Virginia, your little friends are wrong. � ey have been a� ected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. � ey do not believe except they see. � ey think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as cer-tainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. � ere would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. � e eternal light with which childhood � lls the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what

Just days a� er session and all through the Dome,Not a member is working since they all have gone home;

House members le� � rst, making deals le� and right,� en voting out bills near the middle of the night;Senators meanwhile had debates on the � oor,‘Till the chance came last Tuesday to bolt out the door;

If Murray and Cantwell looked to be a bit dour,� at’s because very soon they’ll be los-ing some power;� ey’re majority today, minority tomorrow,� ey’ve been in it before, still there’ll be some sorrow; Murray will lead Dems on a key com-mittee,On which Rs may take aim at the N-L-

R-B;She’ll seek to rewrite No Child Le� Behind,But getting it done will be quite a grind; Minimum wage is looming on the horizon,If the panel gets there, brace for a collision;Ds want it higher and will say Rs don’t careHey, doesn’t that sound like class warfare? Where Cantwell is moving should be lots of action,It’s the same energy panel where once sat Scoop Jackson.

Murkowski is the leader and knows issues ‘round hereBut that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to fear; Cantwell wants biofuels put ahead of oil,But the chair’s from Alaska, so expect a little roil;� is panel has created some great national parks,Yet raising the subject may generate some sparks; Congress acted swi� ly in its � nal few days,Hard to keep track in so many ways;Buried at the end of those last-minute billsAre what some fear are poisonous pills; Like easing protections in ‘ole Dodd-FrankCould leave the markets ripe for a prank;And allowing the parties to haul in more cashCould wind up inciting voter backlash; Yet tucked in the bills are bites of good newsRegardless of one’s political views;Like the sales tax deduction, it’s safe once again,A rare cause that united our delegation; ‘Tis days a� er session - yes Congress is done,� ey’ll look back without fondness ‘cuz it wasn’t fun;� ey’ll return in a few weeks, all full of good cheer,Knowing they don’t face election next year.

would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. � e most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the un-seen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the super-nal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is noth-ing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! � ank God! He lives and lives for-ever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

One look inside her best friend's refrigera-tor seared a lasting childhood memory on Lois Brandt's mind.

Looking for a snack, she was shocked to see it had almost nothing, except some condiments and one small lunch milk carton.

"She had saved the school milk for her little brother, who was too young to go to school," Brandt recalled. "� ey had nothing. … I didn’t know what to do."

� at disturbing image later inspired Brandt to do some-thing about childhood hunger. And to this day, the Issaquah woman writes about it, talks

about it and � nds ways to confront what is, in fact, a national crisis.

"If we're really going to beat this, we need to look at why people don't have enough money to feed their kids," said Brandt, a former Peace Corps volunteer and author of “Maddi’s Fridge” (www.MaddisFridge.com), a children’s picture book that asks the question: What do you do if your best friend’s family doesn’t have enough food?

Brandt is a children’s � ction writer whose work has appeared in Highlights and other magazines. She believes her new book, “Maddi’s Fridge,” il-lustrated by Vin Vogel, is the � rst picture book to

address childhood hunger in the United States.For Brandt, the problem is a shot to the heart.“Food insecurity means an empty refrigerator.

Food insecurity means soda instead of milk. Food insecurity means a child coming to school hungry and unable to focus," Brandt said. "Poverty may not look exactly the same in our country as it does in a war-torn region or a developing country, but it is a� ecting our children and their futures.

"Sometimes, working parents have to choose between rent and food, medicine and food, or gas and food,” she added.

While most Americans will worry about eating too much this holiday season, 16 million of the country’s children live in households that struggle to a� ord food, according to a 2012 report from the United States Department of Agriculture.

To address the problem, Brandt, a volunteer for the Issaquah School District, visits schools where she sees hungry kids and needy families.

In lieu of appearance fees, the touring author urges schools to organize food drives. Ten percent of the proceeds from her book's sales go to hunger solutions.

Brandt's book provides a gently-told, age-ap-propriate storyline for kids to get the message. � e story is not just about hunger, but also friendship.

"Hunger is already in the schools. � ey are your friends and neighbors," Brandt said.

Brandt suggests ways for you to help prevent childhood hunger, such as supporting food banks and nonpro� t organizations, or volunteering during the busy holiday season with your family at a shelter or a food pantry. Your e� orts and kind words can become a fond memory for a child, or remind adults that they’re not alone, Brandt said.

Parents also should talk to their children about childhood hunger and how they can help.

“Rather than sheltering your children from this sad fact of American life, talking to them about it can help nurture their compassion and empathy,” Brandt said.

Taking action teaches children that they can change the world for the better.

"� ere's a secret around childhood hunger, and we can't � ght it until we really recognize it and start digging in," Brandt said.

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Gov. Jay Inslee's budget plan, unveiled last week, includes an additional 50-cent tax on cigarettes and a 95 percent tax on electronic cigarettes and vaporizer products.

"This does put our tobacco costs high relative to other states," Inslee said in a Dec. 18 meeting with Sound Publish-ing newspapers. "But it also gives us one of our strongest mechanisms because these costs do have a dramatic impact in reducing young people taking up this habit."

Just one day prior, the Sound Cities Association's ruling board approved a legislative agenda that supported a tax on electronic cigarettes in order to provide a dedicated revenue source for public health programs. The city of Issaquah threw its support behind the agenda while it was considered in the Associa-tion's Public Issues Committee.

Inslee's proposal is estimated to raise $55.9 million combined from the ad-ditional cigarette tax and vapor tax. However, revenues would be placed in the state's general fund.

Gregory Conley, the president of the American Vaping Association, said in a Dec. 18 response to the proposal that Inslee's plan would hurt businesses and smokers hoping to quit.

"His budget plan would tax most vapor stores out of business, while seizing half

of the revenue from the few businesses that remain," Conley said.

He continued: "By doubling the price of innovative technology products like e-cigarettes, Gov. Inslee will be doing great harm to smokers looking to quit … If long-term fiscal solvency is a goal of the Inslee administration, reducing the $651 million in costs Washington taxpayers incur due to smoking-related illnesses should be a top priority. Taxing products that help smokers quit is the wrong route to take."

In November, a spokesperson from Inslee's office said the governor was working with the Department of Health on a regulatory structure for vaporizer merchants in order to better enforce against sales to minors. Inslee told the Reporter he could not provide details on the progress of that plan, but said he hoped forward movement would be "tremendous."

"This is a huge deal to me," Inslee said. "To think of kids today — kids out there right now — starting to smoke cigarettes. Think what that means in their lives get-ting addicted to nicotine, which is one of the most — if not the most — addictive products. More addictive than heroin. So it seems to me appropriate that … if we are going to have to raise revenues, let's do it in a way that has some other benefit for our kids."

ed revenue from a carbon emissions cap-and-trade would be dedicated to education funding through the general fund, Inslee said. Another $800 million a year in education funding would come from the governor's proposed capital gains tax on the sale of stocks and bonds and other assets. � e plan would not include a tax on retirement funds or home sales.

Inslee said another $400 million in spending cuts and cost savings will satisfy requirements of the McCleary decision — a court order requiring the state to fully fund basic K-12 education — a year early. His budget supports all-day kindergarten statewide and would add more than 6,300 children in the state’s preschool program for low-income children.

� e governor said he's heavily committed to education funding, and his support is not based on orders from the state Supreme Court.

"We're not doing this just to make nine people in black robes happy," he said.

� e governor's budget does not fully fund Initiative 1351 by $2 billion in the next biennium. Initiative 1351 requires reducing class sizes for public schools by hiring more teachers, administrators and school district sta� , but Inslee's budget only funds grades K-3.

� e Washington Education Association, which spon-sored the initiative, is criticizing the governor's budget

proposal, but Inslee said his plan is a good-faith e� ort to begin funding I-1351.

Skyline Spartans 2014 graduate Jordan Branch found a home at right defender during her freshman season with the Wash-ington State University Cougars women's soccer team.

Branch, who was an all-state soccer play-er during her senior year of high school, started at right defender for the majority of the 2014 season. � e Cougars � nished with an overall record of 10-5-4, including a 5-4-2 record in PAC-12 play.

Branch was named to the freshman PAC-12 team as well.

Branch even surprised herself with the amount of playing time she received in her � rst year of collegiate soccer at the Divi-sion-1 level.

"I wasn't expecting to play very much. I

just worked really hard in practice and the coaches rewarded me for it," Branch said. "� e biggest adjustment is the work rate. You have to play as hard as you can all the time to compete with the better players you see in college. In college having speed is kind of irrelevant because everybody is really fast and really strong."

Playing the outside defender position is much like being a cornerback on the football � eld. Many times players are le� to fend for themselves in 1-on-1 situations.

"It's de� nitely challenging playing defender, but I like the challenge of it. It pushes me to be better and I enjoy that part of the game. You have to tackle hard (slide

tackle)," Branch said. Branch said she feels she can take

chances in 1-on-1 situations from her right defender position because the center defender, which is the last line of defense before the goalie, is adept at making key stops as well.

"It's de� nitely easier for me because I know I have good support back there which makes me less nervous when I'm go-ing (1-vs-1) against someone," she said.

� e camaraderie amongst the entire Cougars women's soccer team reminds Branch of her high school days at Skyline.

"� e coaches really care about the play-ers which helps us all grow as a team. Our team is good with team bonding and we gel together," Branch said. "Next year our goal is to make it as far as we can in the NCAA's (NCAA tournament)."

With her sophomore season kicking o� in just eight months, Branch said she's focused on getting bigger and stronger in preparation for the 2015 campaign.

"I'm going to li� weights as much as I can so it’s easier for me to compete with the bigger, better and older players," she said.

Consuming large amounts of water is one of the favorite pastimes of Eastside Catholic lineman Cody Baker.

Baker, who is a starter on both the o� ensive and defensive line, said staying hydrated is vital to being a successful athlete when you're 6 feet 4 inches tall and 256 pounds. � e University of Montana commit prides himself on being in top physical condition.

"I have to drink a lot of water over the course of the week so I don't cramp up. I get tired, but I'm al-ways able to push through it," Baker said.

Baker drinks seven 20-ounce bottled waters per day. His workout regimen combined with his favorite beverage is a dynamic combination.

"I ran probably every single day this summer," Baker said.

Baker didn't focus on distance running, but instead worked sprint and speed drills to enhance his abilities on the football � eld.

"I li� ed weights hard with my teammates and worked on a lot of sprints and shuttles up and down the � eld. We had some days where we ran 16 110-yard sprints," he said.

� e dog days of summer have paid o� as the Cru-saders won the Class 3A state championship with a 35-13 victory against the Bellevue Wolverines on Dec. 5. Attaining a state crown was a dream come true for the entire Cru-sader football family.

"It was like the best day of our lives. It was awe-some," Baker said.

Following the state championship game vic-tory, the Crusaders earned a bid to the Burger King

Bowl Cham-pionship Series in Boca Raton, Fla. � e Crusad-ers will face

Trinity Christian (Jack-sonville) at noon on Dec. 27. Baker said Trinity ºChristian is aggressive on both sides of the ball.

"� ey run a spread of-fense and defensively they

like to stack the box. � is week of practice has been like every other week this season. We're focusing on ourselves and getting better. � e coaches have come up with a great game plan. We are con� dent that we're going to play well," he said.

� e trip to Florida will

be a homecoming of sorts for Baker. He has a multi-tude of relatives in the area.

"A lot of my family ac-tually lives in Boca Raton. It will be great to see a lot of family at the game," he said.
