    Tree trimming OK, but cutting to preserve views is wrong
    Tree trimming OK, but cutting to preserve views...
    June 5, 2008 1:06 am

    I read the letter entitled “Not all trees provide value.” (May 23 Reporter) I believe that many of the author’s points are covered in Issaquah’s current tree ordinance, which I hope will still contain these clauses when it is revised. Diseased trees can be cut, and I would think so would inappropriate trees, as long as they are replaced with more appropriate trees. Where the author and I really part company is in her statement that one of the “considerations for keeping or planting trees … (is) not obscuring views.”

    Vintage hydros to run at Lake Sammamish festival
    June 5, 2008 12:47 am

    This weekend, two vintage unlimited hydroplanes will run on Lake Sammamish for the first time, as part of the Tastin’ n Racin’ festival.
    “In the ‘60s, the hydroplanes and their drivers were the sports heroes of the kids in Seattle. There weren’t any Mariners, Seahawks or Sonics, so we idolized (the hydroplane drivers),” said John O’Brien, one of five organizers of the festival.

    Eastlake’s “fearsome foursome” of Stephanie Fox, Kaitlyn Bunger, Kelsey Leaverenz and Kimi Pohlman know what it’s like to be on the top of the softball world after winning the 4A state fastpitch title two weeks ago.
    Now the seniors get to end their high school careers by sharing one more special bond.
    The four are part of a select group of 11 Seattle Mariner ball girls who shag foul balls at Safeco Field — a job that results in cheers and sometimes jeers.
    They were selected after the Mariners asked Eastlake head coach George Crowder whether he had any outgoing players who were strong fielders.

    King County Prosecutors last week charged 26-year-old Redmond resident Kyle Dalan with vehicular homicide. Dalan’s vehicle crossed the center line of State Route 202 at about 3 p.m. on Monday, May 26, and collided head-on with a motorcycle ridden by 74-year-old Mark Stolle of Sammamish, according to charging papers. Stolle was thrown from the motorcycle and landed in a ditch. He sustained multiple “catastrophic” injuries to the head, torso and extremities, and died within minutes, charging documents and the King County Medical Examiner’s officials said.
