A recent court ruling is delay-ing the case surrounding a woman who drove through her house May 16, killing two people.

The woman drove a vehicle through her house in the 3400 block of East Lake Sammamish Shore Lane Southeast and out the other side, going across a deck.

In the process a 70-year-old man, the woman’s partner, was killed. The woman’s 40-year-old son-in-law was critically injured and later died at Harborview Medical Center.

The woman’s 34-year-old daughter was also critically injured, but she survived. The woman and her 3-year-old grand-son, who was on her lap, were unhurt.

Somehow, the vehicle did not go into the water.

Officers at the scene believed the woman might be under the

influence of some sort of drug, and that’s where the complica-tion arises.

Police routinely obtain a search warrant so they can draw blood and test it for illicit sub-stances, which is what happened in this case.

But a July 21 ruling in the case of State vs. Jose Figeroa Martines, issued by the state Court of Appeals, changed the equation. The ruling states, essentially, that a warrant for drawing the blood does not authorize the testing of that blood.

“The extraction of blood from a drunk driving suspect is a search. Testing the blood sample is a second search. It is distinct from the initial extraction because its purpose is to examine the personal information blood contains,” wrote Judge Mary Kay Becker.

Sammamish’s annual twin celebrations, one for the chil-dren and the other for adults only, are set for this Saturday.

Sammamish Days, which started in 2009 as a celebra-tion of the city’s 10th anniver-sary, kicks off at 10 a.m. at the Sammamish Commons.

The family-friendly event will include familiar child-friendly activities like bouncy houses, a balloon artist, face painting and a magician. There

will be food carts on hand, as well as live music, kid acrobats and cultural performances.

Sammamish Days winds down at about 2 p.m., to give organizers time to set up for the grown-ups at Sammamish Nights.

The night

Sammamish Nights is an adults-only affair. The evening of wine, beer and music starts off at 6:30 p.m. and runs until 10 p.m. It is only open to people

21 and older.Tickets are $45 and include

unlimited food and drink. The only extra cost might

be the purchase of art. There will be 17 artists from the Sammamish Art Fair giving an early peek at works that may appear in their October show.

This year’s beverages will be provided by 12 wineries and two breweries. In addition, Starbucks will provide non-alco-holic drinks.

along with live music and food for the riders and funders.

It runs through the whole weekend, start-ing with a kick off party, (open only to riders and other fundraisers) at Gas Works Park in Seattle Aug. 8. There are four different ride distances, 25, 50, 100 and 150 miles.

There’s still time to get in on the ride. Riders commit to raising at least $1,000 – a number that goes up along with the distance they’ll ride – and have until Sept. 30 to raise the money. People can

even register and ride on the day of the event, after pledging to raise the funds.

Riders taking on the 150-mile route will start in Seattle Aug, 9, take the ferry to Bainbridge Island then ride to overnight in Tacoma before returning to Seattle Aug. 10.

Riders of the other dis-tances will start and fin-ish Aug. 10 from Seattle’s Magnuson Park.

The 100-mile route pass-es through Sammamish along the East Lake Sammamish Parkway. Event organizers expect

about 160 riders to pass through the city, likely between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Organizers say they’d love to see people out along the route cheering on these long-distance rid-ers; colorful signs are wel-come and encouraged.

Last year’s inaugural Obliteride raised more than $1.9 million for Fred Hutch, organiz-ers say that money has been used to support the center’s cancer research efforts.

The ruling goes on to explain that, for example, if an officer pulls someone over and that per-son seems under the influence of drugs or alcohol, that could give police probable cause to test the blood for the presence of those

substances. However, that does not mean they could do other tests, such as run a DNA test to see if the person might have committed other crimes.

This change could have wide-ranging impacts, which law enforcement are studying. For example, it’s unclear how far back the ruling might apply, and if it could impact cases decided in the past.

The King County Prosecutor’s Office is still analyzing the impact of the ruling, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office. He said the prosecutor plans to file a motion with the Court of Appeals to reconsider its ruling.

Sammamish Police Chief Nate Elledge explained that many search warrants for cases like this use boilerplate language that does

not specify that the blood will be tested. As a result, it could compli-cate dozens of cases in which that language was used on warrants.

The warrants will likely be updated soon to specify the sorts of testing so the problem does not arise in future cases.

“Going forward, it shouldn’t be a problem, Elledge said.

In the case of the woman driv-ing through the house, it means

more delays.Officers from the King County

Sheriff’s Office will need to obtain a new warrant to test the blood and resubmit the sample for testing. Then, the results will be forwarded on to the pros-ecutor’s office, which will then determine whether or not to file charges said D.B. Gates, sheriff’s spokeswoman. It could mean a delay of a few months.

A move to make Eastside Fire & Rescue into a nonprofit is proceed-ing, but the Sammamish City Council wants some answers before they’ll sup-port the effort.

Sammamish is a mem-ber of the consortium, including Issaquah, North Bend and Fire Districts 10 and 38, which provides fire and emergency services to the area.

Under the current model, while all the part-ners are equal, District 10 is officially the employer of record for the firefighters. As a result, after the EFR board approves matters like a labor contract, District 10 must also approve it.

It’s created a headache for staff, who must make the same presentations twice. It’s also created the potential (although it’s never happened) that the EFR board could vote one way and District 10 could vote another.

By converting to a non-profit entity, District 10

would be off the hook for such decisions and all the power would be vested in the EFR board.

EFR officials are current-ly working out the details, and making sure things, like firefighter’s retirement benefits, can transfer from one entity to the other.

The EFR board approved the change June 12. Now each of the five members must OK the change.

Councilwoman Nancy Whitten was concerned about the potential for debt. While the nonprofit would not be able to issue bonds, it might be able to take out other types of loans. Whitten was afraid Sammamish might get stuck paying for something it doesn’t want.

Public Works Director Laura Philpot said city staff would work to find out those answers.

Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard said the measure is scheduled to come back to the City Council September 2.

Coordination, new thinking needed on tolling of bridges

The feared 10-mile backups never materialized when the state took Interstate 90 down to one lane for construction. As often seems to happen in these situations, a thousand people made a thousand little changes, and we pulled through.

One big change, however, might have helped keep things flowing with a minimum of angst, toll relief on the state Highway 520 bridge.

In the weeks leading up to the closure, there was a bit of finger-pointing about whether or not one part of the state government gave a different part of the state government enough advanced notice.

There were back-and forth conversations between the Department of Transportation and the Transportation Commission. Emails were dredged up and official statements released, but in the end, the tolls were left in place.

This simply shouldn’t happen. The lack of coordi-nation, perhaps expected in an organization as large as the state government, is still not acceptable.

This is most certainly not the last time there will be a major road project on I-90. Going forward, both agencies must better coordinate.

The tolling commission makes a good point that they need the revenue. The money collected goes to people who bought bonds to finance the bridge construction, and they must be paid. Perhaps in the future, WSDOT could look into adding a line item to its I-90 budget to make up part or all of the money lost if the tolls are lifted for a limited time. (Whoever foots the bill for closing I-90 during the Blue Angels’ shows might also chip in to allow a break in the tolls during times I-90 is closed over Seafair weekend.)

Our transportation network is fragile. It doesn’t take much to start a cascading series of backups. People don’t need turf wars and blame games com-pounding the problem.

Next time there’s a major project, different parts of the state should work together and find a way to help the people and businesses that depend on crossing those bridges.

Creative solutions are out there. We just need to spend a little time looking for them.

Help keep children off drugs

Last week, as many of you might know, was the funeral for the young soul of just 18 years that we had lost to a heroin overdose. My deep-est condolences to the family and friends of this wonderful young man. Looking past the deep sad-ness that accompanies such a tragic event, what struck me so profoundly were the bicycles laying scattered in the grassy area in front of Flintoft’s funeral home. Kids should not be riding their bikes to a friend’s funer-al, and yet here we were.

Anyone who met this young man would describe a kind, bright, soft spoken and caring individual. However when most people envi-sion a victim of overdose, they suc-cumb to stereotypes generated by the media, riddled with the stigma and myths associated with substance dependence of a bad individual who needs to get good, rather than a sick individual who needs help. It seems that is changing, as we are exposed to so many stories about the disease of addiction and tragedies related to its progression.

Like so many communities around the country, we are experi-encing the most tragic of outcomes of this healthcare crisis. Substance use disorders impact about 10 per-cent -15 percent of our population. However, the societal impact related to the lack of prevention and sub-stance use disorder treatment often wreaks havoc on communities and school resources. When our eyes are wide open we can see clearly the progression this reality takes. We watch as adolescent curiosity and experimentation devastates some, as they can find no way out of the com-pulsion and obsession to keep using substances.

As we grieve, and hold our own children a bit tighter, perhaps we will share in the community respon-sibility of caring for these vulnerable souls, let them know they matter, and that they are not alone.

No more bikes at funerals.

Attack was simply personal

I’m not often one to respond to letters to the editor. After nearly a decade in the public eye, I’m used to getting my share of angry letters; it comes with the territory. But Scott Hamilton’s bitter letter deserves a response. Here it is: very disappointing.

I’m not the first to be subject to Hamilton’s attacks: mayors, coun-cilmembers, commissioners, city administrators, landowners, and others, have all drawn Hamilton’s attention.

Hamilton mentions my time on the Planning Commission. It was hard work, but we accom-plished a lot. During those years, I was elected by my peers to be vice chairman once and chairman three times. Boy those guys really hated me!

Hamilton and I were once friends and worked together on several projects. No doubt we still agree on many issues. But this isn’t about issues; it is personal, at least for Hamilton. I trace it to the end of my first term as Chair of the Planning Commission, when I didn’t go along with some of Hamilton’s demands. He could not forgive that.

Nearly six years later, Hamilton still holds a grudge that he can-not seem to shake. Even though we haven’t been much in contact over those years, and I’ve tried to block it out, his anger continues to smolder just outside the edges of my world.

Then this inappropriate let-ter appears. Here is a quote – not even about me – that illustrates Hamilton’s style: “Vance was elect-ed to the council three years ago, having faced an opponent who was so bad that this was truly ‘the best bad choice’ that could be made.”

In what universe does my for-mer opponent deserve this kind of belittling treatment? He still lives in the community with his family, and remains active in his neighborhood. He ran a vigorous campaign. When it was over he called, graciously, to congratulate me. I appreciated that. It is not easy to lose an election; I know

from experience.I suspect that we haven’t heard

the last from Hamilton. My advice is to do what I try to do: block it out.

Jacqueline Ann Forte

Jacqueline Ann (McMahon) Forte left us peacefully on July 24, 2014, in Olympia, at the age of 76.

She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Ronald; her daughter Virginia Forte, son Lee (Victoria) Forte, daughter Rhonda Forte, son Michael (Colleen) Forte, son Paul (Suzanne) Forte and son Joseph (Stacy) Forte; and her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Jacqueline was born on Oct. 14, 1937, in Clinton, Iowa, to Marcella and Albert McMahon, who passed away in 1984 and 1987, respectively. She moved to Seattle at the age of 11, and attended St. George Grade School and Holy Angels Academy. Jacqueline married her hus-band Ronald on Feb. 17, 1962.

Together, they operat-ed the fam-ily equip-ment rental business for more than 38 years with their children.

Jacque-line resided in Samm-amish,

where she loved to work in her garden, which flourished by her green thumb. She cherished spending her summers at the family cabin on Mason Lake, and winters in the warmth of Peoria, Arizona. In these and in all places, Jacqueline gathered the family together for any and all occasions.

She loved cooking for her large family, always making something special for each family member, and cooking more than enough leftovers for all to bring home. When not cooking for her fam-

ily or tending to her flowers, Jacqueline loved to travel. She especially loved traveling to the beaches of Maui and Tahiti, and listening to the ocean waves.

Jacqueline was a very special person to her family and friends, always wanting to have as much family as possible around her at all times. She always found time for everyone, and saw the best in each person in her life. Many attest to the amazing woman that she was.

A celebration of Jacqueline’s life was July 30 at Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church. A reception was held following the service. Interment was at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Bellevue. Donations may be made to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, or Catholic Community Services.

Please view her guestbook at www.sunsethillsfuneralhome.com.

Simone Joanne RystadSimone Rystad of Sammamish

passed away peace-fully, at home with family and love at her bedside, in the very early hours on Thursday the 24th of July 2014 at the young

age of 53. After a long, coura-geous battle against an undefeat-able foe, she is finally at rest. Simone was the most giving, caring, loving, and genuinely self-less, wonderful person anyone could ever hope to meet. She touched so many lives and each one is the better for it.

She was born Simone Joanne Rapin August 13, 1960 in Vancouver B.C. to father Lawrence Rapin and mother Geraldine Joan Jacobson. At an early age, the family relocated to the Seattle area where in 1978

she graduated from Interlake High School in Bellevue. She married just out of high school and had two lovely daughters Angela (Rystad)-Hoover and Sheri Rystad.

Once on her own, Simone attended Bellevue College, gradu-ating in 1994 to become a regis-tered nurse, and continued help-ing people and caring for others as an R.N. for the remainder of her life.

She married once more before finally finding the one she was meant to be with.

Francis Jaros spent 8 wonder-ful years with Simone until July 24th 2014, as he held her in his arms one last time.

The world lost a beautiful gem and wonderful woman that day. We love you and miss you dearly Simone!

A memorial service will be held on at 11 a.m. Saturday Aug. 9, at Snoqualmie Falls-Salish Lodge in the Falls Terrace Room. Anyone wishing to attend please contact Francis at 425-922-2334.

At just 24 years old, Daniel Peng is an extensive world traveler, and he’s headed back to foreign lands for the better part of the next year.

Peng grew up in Sammamish and Issaquah, and graduated from Skyline High School in 2008. He’s crisscrossed the globe as a collegiate student and young professional, and he recently earned a prestigious honor that will allow him to spend nine months in China.

In May, Peng learned he was the recipient of a Fulbright U.S. Student Program grant. He’s one of about 1,800 recipients nationwide who will have the chance to travel abroad for a unique hands-on learning opportunity in their chosen field.

Peng earned a degree in biology from Santa Clara University in 2012, and he began working in January for ElationEMR, a San Francisco-based company that specializes in electronic medical records.

He’s fluent in Mandarin, and has vis-ited China several times. He’s headed back there in mid-September thanks to his Fulbright grant, which will have him stationed at a clinic in Hangzhou, a city of about 6 million in the eastern portion of the country.

“It’s quite a large city, but it’s not one of those main cities when you think of China,” Peng said.

In order to obtain the Fulbright award, Peng began an extensive application

process last fall. His research grant pro-posal targets Type 2 diabetes, which is far more prevalent, but less understood than Type 1 diabetes. Together, the two forms of the disease affect about 29 mil-lion Americans.

Prior to his current job, Peng spent time working with diabetics of all ages at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and at the Pacific Free Clinic in San Jose.

Diabetes is an epidemic with many unanswered questions, Peng said. During his time in Hangzhou, he’ll be interact-ing with patients and clinicians to affect

change.“In terms of the

research I’m conduct-ing, this is not hard science,” he said. “It’s more of a public health project.”

Simple changes, Peng noted, can reduce the rates of diabetes. People can often create and main-tain better health by eating more fruits and

vegetables, and fewer high-fat foods and simple carbohydrates like white rice and potatoes. Another important factor, Peng said, is getting patients to understand and care about dietary restrictions.

Educating others comprises about half of his duties in China. He’s also going to be working to create a patient database that will help doctors understand the long-term affects of treatment.

“Can we monitor and quantify the effects of these interventional changes that we’re making at these clinics?” Peng said.

Fulbright is a government-spon-sored program through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, an offshoot of the U.S. Department of State. The program has been operating since 1946, and has reached into more than 150 countries.

Many notable scholars, teachers, sci-entists and entrepreneurs have received Fulbright grants, and other prominent recipients include Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos; novelist Jonathan Franzen; Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus; and architect Daniel Libeskind, who designed the post-9/11 World Trade Center plans.

Peng’s travels also took him for a year to England, where he studied at Oxford University through an award from Santa Clara’s honors program.

At Skyline, Peng ran sprints for the track team, but he shifted to basketball at Oxford. Basketball is a fringe sport in England, and he was able to play with several former NCAA Division I players who jumped across the pond to a less restrictive amateur environment. Oxford finished fourth in the nation during Peng’s one season.

“It was a great learning environment because those guys were just great role models for me from a life standpoint,” he said.

Peng attended Clark Elementary School and Beaver Lake Middle School before coming to Skyline, where he believes working in the International Baccalaureate program proved to be a huge influence.

“I got into college feeling like I had done all of the course work before,” he said. “The first year was kind of a review.”

Renowned doctors, expert nursing teams, and the latest technologyto back them up, are just some of the reasons Swedish delivers “extraordinary care.”

But there’s another side to being extraordinary that’s just as important. It’s a way of being treatedthat makes you feel like someone truly cares. Because, at Swedish, someone does.

Rules prohibit high-school girls soccer coaches from having contact with their players dur-ing the majority of August, so what teams do in July can often be some of their most important work of the year.

Eastlake High School’s girls worked right up until the no-con-tact deadline, holding a three-day training camp July 29-31 to give returning players a chance to interact with newcomers.

Held under sunny skies and warm temperatures, the camp had a large turnout and could prove significant as the Wolves attempt to integrate their newest members.

“We have about 15 new girls that showed up at the camp, so it’s pretty promising, and tryouts are definitely going to be compet-itive come Aug. 25,” said Eastlake assistant coach Jacalyn Williams, who led the camp in place of head coach Chuck Krieble, who was on vacation.

Returning players and new-

comers practiced together on the first day of the camp, but were split into separate groups for the last two days.

“That was really just to get people to start playing with each other, so they know how other people play,” said Melissa Radecke, one of the Wolves’ cap-tains.

Most players saw playing time during the spring and sum-mer with their respective select teams, but having dedicated training sessions for high-school teams are imperative so players enter the season in September with at least a basic understand-ing of each other’s abilities.

“You only have three months (in the high-school season), and it takes you a little bit of time to figure out how somebody wants a ball – if somebody likes it in the air or on the ground,” Radecke explained.

Radecke, a midfielder/for-ward, will be serving as a var-sity captain alongside defender Clare Suter and midfielder Jodi Ulkekul.

The coaching staff is relying on that trio to keep momentum going in August, Williams said. The captains are planning to lead weekly fitness sessions during that time.

“We do ask a lot of them, and they’ve really stepped up this year,” Williams said of the cap-tains. “We have some real strong leadership, and I’m excited for that this year.”

In regards to the incoming players, Williams and Krieble often get a read on them ahead of time by attending local select

Summer trainingmaking Wolves a more cohesive unit

By Neil Pierson

The Eastlake Baseball Club saw its dreams of an American Legion state championship dashed July 30, as it lost to Asotin County for the second time in five days.

Asotin County defeated Eastlake 7-1 in a loser-out game of the Double-A Legion tourna-ment in Spokane. Asotin also beat Eastlake, 7-4, in the first round of the six-day tourney.

In the loser-out game, Asotin pitcher Aaron Trimmell got plen-ty of offensive support to out-duel Eastlake’s Nate Wimberly. Asotin built a 4-1 lead after three innings, then wrapped things up with three runs off Wimberly in the top of the seventh.

Meanwhile, Eastlake struggled to solve Trimmell, who gave up only two hits in a complete-game

effort. Trimmell walked five hit-ters, but struck out nine.

Eastlake’s lone run was unearned, and came in the sec-ond inning when Ryan Frizelle walked and came home on two errors.

Nathan Mano’s double and Mark Whitley’s single were Eastlake’s only hits, and the team ended the season with a record of 45-13-1.

After falling to Asotin in the tourney opener, however, Eastlake was able to win three consecutive loser-out games.

Eastlake dispatched Round Table of Spokane, 13-4, on July 27, and came back the following day with an 8-7 triumph over Gonzaga Prep.

Ben Lathwell – one of the youngest members of the

Eastlake squad – produced a game-winning single in the bot-tom of the seventh inning, scor-ing Elliot Carney from second base to break a 7-7 tie.

The game was a seesaw affair that featured 29 hits. Eastlake took a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning on Ayden Oh’s two-run double, but Gonzaga Prep scored five times in the fifth, using three singles and three doubles off Frizelle to grab a 7-4 lead.

Eastlake refused to quit, using a Whitley walk and singles from Shaan Kothari and Jackson Dahl to narrow its deficit to 7-6.

Eastlake tied the score in the bottom of the sixth thanks to a leadoff double from Lathwell, who eventually scored on a passed ball.

Oh finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored to lead Eastlake’s offense. Lathwell was 3-for-3, while Dahl and Carney each had two hits.

Frizelle was roughed up on the mound but got the win, going seven innings while allowing 16 hits and six earned runs. He struck out two and walked none.

Frizelle got the call again July 29 and pitched Eastlake to its third straight win, a 3-1 decision over Centralia. Frizelle needed only 89 pitches to finish the game.

He threw 55 strikes, striking out two and giving up one walk and eight hits.

Eastlake broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the sixth as Whitley and Dahl walked to start the frame. Whitley scored on Frizelle’s groundout, and Dahl came home on an error.

The Yakima Valley Peppers were crowned state champi-ons July 31 after a 6-5 win over Chehalis. The Peppers finished the tourney with a 6-1 record.

ContributedSeveral local soccer players were part of a tournament championship at the soccerloco Surf Cup, held July 26-28 in San Diego, Calif. The Surf Cup is one of the largest youth soccer events in the nation, and more than 400 collegiate coaches and recruiters were there to scout for next-level talent.The Eastside FC 96 Red squad won the under-18 girls championship. They went undefeated in five matches, including a 1-0 win over Nevada’s Heat FC in the semifinals and a 3-0 victory over the Boston Breakers Academy Scorpions in the final.Eastside FC 96 Red features six Skyline High School players: forwards Amanda Johnston and Izzy Marshall; midfielders Lauren Carson and Kelli Sullivan; and defender Abbie Litka and Abbey Porter.

Surf’s up for soccer tournament champs

tournaments. The camp is use-ful in gauging their talent and fitness levels, Williams said, although the late-August tryouts are usually when coaches decide whether a younger player can contribute at the varsity level.

Radecke stepped onto the pitch and played with the new-comers in a short-field scrim-mage that concluded the July 31 training session.

Quick passing and quality

finishing were two of the main goals, as the Wolves attempt to create a more potent offense in 2014.

“Also we’re looking to bulk up our defense on varsity, so just looking at what people could possibly fill in those positions,” Williams noted. “But yeah, we’re looking to be a lot more attack-minded, so working on those formations and some technical drills, too.”

Radecke thinks the team could’ve been better last year if it had created and finished more chances, so players are conscious about being “goal-

minded,” she said. Despite some offensive

droughts, however, the Wolves managed to finish fifth in the Class 4A KingCo Conference regular-season standings. They returned to the playoffs after falling short in 2012, the only nonplayoff squad in Krieble’s nine-year tenure.

“We’re definitely hungry for more – we want to advance fur-ther in the playoffs,” Radecke said. “Granted, we have a lot of talent, so I think it’s something we’ll definitely be able to do as long as we perform as well as we can.”

Williams believes 2013 was “more promising and positive,” and gives the players confidence heading into this season. The KingCo schedule will change, though, as Mount Si joins the conference and three nonplay-off squads from 2013 – Garfield, Roosevelt and Ballard – drop to Class 3A.

“We know that we’re going to be up against some really great competition,” Williams said. “But I think the girls are pumped and really looking forward to this season – just some really coach-able, positive attitudes, so that helps.”

Eastside Fire Fighters Local #2878 encourages the community to get involved in the #JustifyIt campaign through social media, and by talking to your loved ones about the dangers of texting and driving. They offer the following tips:

u Never use your phone while driving.

u Put your phone some-where you can’t see it. Out of sight, out of mind.

u Silence your phone while driving. If you can’t hear notifications, you are less likely to check them.

u Designate a texter. Ask a friend to read and reply to your texts while

you’re driving.u Pull over or wait until

parked to check or send messages.

Local #2878 urges every-one to be safe on the roads and avoid distractions while driving. Learn more on the #JustifyIt campaign website: http://justifyit.org.

Information is pro-vided about land owned by cities, counties, the federal government and three state agen-cies — the state Parks and Recreation Commission, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Department of Natural Resources. The public can search government-owned parcels by owner and prin-

cipal land use. In addition, details about acquisition grants from RCO are linked to the interactive map.

RCO was tasked by the state Legislature in 2013 to provide an inventory of lands in Washington owned by federal, state and local governments. In the past, these public land inventories were printed documents.

The Legislature also tasked RCO with making recommendations on how to maintain the inventory. Read the report at http://1.usa.gov/1rjPKk5.

Name the newest state ferry

Construction of the next 144-car ferry is under way and the Washington State Transportation Commission is inviting people from across the state to submit ideas for the new boat’s name.

Proposals will be accept-ed until 5 p.m. Sept. 12.

Names should carry statewide significance and represent the state’s image and culture, such as state-adopted symbols, tribal names, names of bod-ies of water, geographic locations, cities, counties, relate to nautical heritage, etc.

Names should have broad familiarity, be non-offensive and meet ethical standards.

Names with commer-cial overtones or names honoring or commemorat-ing individuals should be avoided, but will be con-sidered upon very careful review.

Send ideas to P.O. Box 47308, Olympia, WA 98504-7308, or email them to transc@wstc.wa.gov.

Many of the 23 ves-sels in Washington State Ferries’ fleet have names reflecting the state’s tribal, geographic and historic heritage. The most recently named vessels — Samish and Tokitae — are in keep-ing with that tradition.

Senators hope to create National Heritage Area

U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray introduced legisla-tion July 16 to designate the Mountains to Sound Greenway as a National Heritage Area.

Senate Bill 2602 is a companion to legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert in 2013.

The National Heritage Area program provides a nonregulatory approach to conservation that enables local management of the landscape. Designation encourages collaboration on a broad vision for the future of the landscape, and shares the region’s heritage with the rest of the nation through tourism and education.

National Heritage Areas are large, lived-in iconic places that tell a unique story about the nation’s heritage.

They are designated by the U.S. Congress to iden-tify a landscape of national distinction.

The 49 national heri-tage areas throughout the nation illustrate the many successes of a collaborative approach to tourism and local management.

The Mountains to Sound Greenway is the 1.5 million-acre landscape con-necting Puget Sound and central Washington.

Firefighters launch anti-texting/driving campaign

The International Association of Eastside Fire Fighters recently launched the public safety campaign #JustifyIt, which asks, “Can you justify the next text message from your driver’s seat?”

#JustifyIt uses firefight-ers’ first-hand experience with texting and driving disasters to educate the community and keep the public safe from these vio-lent accidents.

More than 1,000 people are injured every day due to texting while driving. Distracted drivers cause 3,000 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Texting while driving has now replaced drinking while driving as the lead-
