Federal legislators urge emergency funding for I-90 overpass Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) joined Rep. Dave Reichert (WA-8) in urging Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to grant Emergency Relief program funding to help Washington state cover the costs of repairs for the Interstate 90 overpass, according to a news release from Murray’s office. On March 13, a Recology CleanScapes garbage truck with
its lift in the air struck and damaged the overpass above Front Street. “The Front Street I-90 overpass is critical to in King County and to the State of Washington,” the members of Congress wrote. “As part of the I-90 corridor, it plays an important role in supporting international trade through the movement of goods across Washington and to our
ports, creating and sustaining hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state. “Furthermore, other states that export and import goods through the ports in the Pacific Northwest rely on this now damaged transportation infrastructure. Communities in King County and the entire state are also dependent upon a safe, functional, and intact I-90 corri-
dor for employment and recreation purposes. As the primary east-west transportation corridor in Washington state for goods and citizens, the connectivity and integrity of I-90 is vital to the entire state’s economy. “We urge you to grant the State of Washington’s request for ER funding for the Front Street I-90 overpass in its entirety as soon as possible to ensure our
constituents and all users have a safe, reliable, and uninterrupted access to this critical transportation link.” The overpass reopened a few hours after the accident but the right shoulder is closed until permanent repairs can be made. The state Department of Transportation has estimated the costs for repairs to be between $1.2 million and $1.5 million.

Julius Boehm Pool renovation is on budget, behind schedule By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com
With a price tag of $5 million, the ongoing renovation of the city’s Julius Boehm Pool is on budget, but has fallen a few weeks behind. Asbestos removal is the cause of that delay, said Ric Patterson, division manager for the Issaquah Parks & Recreation Department. On April 20, Patterson offered the Issaquah City Council an update on the project to rebuild the pool, which was closed Nov. 26. Patterson said samples of the pool’s existing stained surface revealed the presence of asbestos that had to be specially removed. He also talked about structural components that had to be chiseled out by hand. All in all, the unexpected extra work slowed the project by five to six weeks. But by working with contractors to rearrange some work, Patterson said the overall project is now only about three
weeks behind. Patterson still estimates the pool will reopen late this summer. “The contractor is making really good progress,” he said. Among the many improvements undertaken, workers are attempting to replace the inner surface of the pool, which in photos Patterson showed to council had been stained a dingy, yellowish color. Patterson said the blemish was the result of iron oxide escaping the old, steel pipes that used to feed the pool. Not only will the surface of the pool be replaced, but also the metal pipes are to be removed in favor of rust-free plastic pipes. Besides work on the pool itself, perhaps the most significant effort is being put into the facility’s various pumps, heaters and other electrical systems. Computercontrolled, more efficient equipment should save the city about $71,000 in pool operating costs annually. “It’s very exciting to see the cost savings,” Councilwoman Mary Lou Pauly said. She said those numbers should be highlighted as the city wrestles with planning See POOL, Page 12
Klahanie resident Dennis Broadwell and his team of climbers from Issaquah-based Mountain Gurus are safe after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake Dennis Broadwell rocked Nepal and the Mount Everest area on April 25. A post on the group’s Facebook page later in the day confirmed that Broadwell, 43, and the rest of the team were OK. News reports on April 27 said the earthquake killed more than an estimated 4,000 people in and around the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu, and the death toll was expected to rise as search efforts continued. On Mount Everest, where Mountain Gurus climbers were in the midst of a two-month expedition, 18 people, including four Americans, were reported dead after an avalanche swept over the Base Camp at about 17,600

The team was at Base Camp when the avalanche occurred, although other teams were higher on the mountain at Camps 1 and 2, and were being lifted off the mountain via helicopter, Tyler said.

It was the sixth consecutive annual release of native juveniles that were spawned at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery over the fall and winter in a program to reverse the danger of extinction to the species. The Kokanee Work Group, made up of local government and community groups, continues to work to help the kokanee survive.
EFR closes volunteer fire station
Resident David Johnson said the area around his home on 182nd Avenue Southeast already was plagued by some of the slowest emergency response times in the city. And that was before Eastside Fire & Rescue closed Station 75, a small all-volunteer station at 4225 180th Ave. S.E., Bellevue, which had served the area of Interstate 90 and West Lake Sammamish Parkway.
Eastbound Northwest Gilman Boulevard is down to one lane Starting the week of April 27, one lane of eastbound Northwest Gilman Boulevard will close for utility work. Construction will also affect Seventh Avenue Northwest where it intersects Northwest Gilman Boulevard. The work is expected to continue for at least two weeks. To help minimize traffic impacts, city officials are asking drivers to use alternate routes if possible. The utility work is part of the Atlas apartment complex construction.

Governor calls special session Gov. Jay Inslee told state legislative leaders he intends to call them into a special session April 29. The idea is to complete what Inslee’s office called “major work” left undone when the regular session ended April 24. Inslee was to have budget negotiators in his office April 27 to give them a head start prior to the opening of the special session. “Before the Legislature convened in January, I
said we must fund education through a sustainable and responsible budget, approve a transportation improvement package and make progress on fighting carbon pollution,” Inslee said in a press release. “That work remains undone. A special session will allow lawmakers to focus on these priorities and I expect the work to be done within the 30-day session.” Inslee was slated to issue a formal proclamation re-
While the last word still has yet to be decided, the Issaquah City Council on April 20 agreed unanimously to pursue funding for a 10,000-square-foot skateboard park with a price tag of approximately $486,075. Council authorized city staff members to pursue a $75,000 King County grant to help pay for the park. At the suggestion of Councilman Tola Marts, the city also will seek other means to close the funding gap for the skate park. With available dollars currently sitting at $350,000, if the city earns the county money and gains the necessary matching funds, Issaquah still would be about $52,000 short. Council President Paul Winterstein said the public might be asked to close the gap. If it gains the county money, the city will need to raise $9,300 in nonmunicipal funds from the community as part of the grant match. Winterstein and others said hopefully that effort would lay the groundwork for other
fundraising. Mayor Fred Butler said potential funding sources are wide open. “Anything that’s legal,” he quipped. The city has been considering two skate park plans, the larger park now in play and a smaller, 8,000-squarefoot, $350,000 model. The council originally budgeted $350,000 for a park, but a citizen’s advisory committee came up with the design for the larger park, which won avid support from skaters, adults and community groups. “The council didn’t really understand the difference,” said Marts, whose Safety and Services Committee on April 14 recommended to the full council that the city apply for the county grant. Marts added that prior to that committee meeting, he largely believed the difference between the two designs was “awesome or super-awesome.” Park supporters long have maintained the larger park had several advantages, that it wasn’t just a matter of shrinking the design to fit the smaller park.

City Council OKs expanded, $486,000 skate park design By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com

“It’s just going to have a different feel to it,” park designer Micah Shapiro said during a presentation to the Safety and Services Committee. Representing designer Grindline Skateparks Inc., of Seattle, Shapiro made much the same presentation to the full council April 20. In talking about specific differences between the designs, Shapiro mentioned the larger park having colored concrete, more viewing areas, two picnic tables and raised planters for trees, among other amenities. At the full council meeting, Shapiro noted the planters would partly be skatable parts of the park. Winterstein was careful to point out the city’s funding for the skate park likely will need to be discussed again during the next round of budget talks. “This is not a final up or down on this skate park,” he said. The city will not know the results of the county grant process until the end of 2015. Skate park construction that was to start in Tibbetts Valley Park this summer now will be postponed until at least 2016.

Tell customers about data breaches quickly
P
remera’s decision to wait six weeks before notifying state authorities and customers about a major cyber attack on its system was inexcusable. This is the same insurance giant that was warned by federal auditors last year that its network security procedures were inadequate. Customers entrusted Premera with their most personal information, from bank accounts and Social Security numbers to home addresses and medical records. Premera Blue Cross officials claim hackers did not remove any customer data from their system, and that they followed federal law. That’s cold comfort to the 11 million Americans, including about 6 million former and current Washington residents, potentially affected by this data breach. Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is right to lead a multistate investigation into Premera’s response to this hacking incident. The breach was found Jan. 29, but the attack occurred back in May 2014. Premera contacted state officials March 17, of this year. In a response to an inquiry from U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA, Premera President and Chief Executive Jeffrey Roe said the company did not immediately disclose the attack on the advice of Mandiant, a private cybersecurity firm. The concern was that notification to consumers or the media “would alert the attackers and could prompt them to download sensitive information.” Kreidler’s staff said the insurance provider could have come to the state much sooner and asked for some confidentiality. Instead, Premera kept the problem to itself — and from consumers — for six weeks. Though Premera followed federal rules mandating notification within 60 days, it’s bad business to sit on this information while customers are clueless their personal information may be compromised. State legislators enacted legislation requested by state Attorney General Bob Ferguson. State Rep. Chad Magendanz, of Issaquah, was a sponsor of bill 1078, which was signed by Gov. Jay Inslee on April 23. It will become law July 24. The bill calls for customers to be notified within 45 days, along with information about how they can secure their identities. If more than 500 Washingtonians are affected, nonprofits, businesses and public agencies would also have to report to the Attorney General’s Office so the state could coordinate a response. After this latest debacle, customers of Premera Blue Cross, Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska, Vivacity and Connexion Insurance Solutions are being directed to premeraupdate.com to sign up for two years’ worth of credit monitoring and identification theft services. That’s not enough. Premera says it’s working with the FBI to find the culprits and prevent future attacks. Hackers will always cause trouble, but the company should notify customers more swiftly about any potential breaches of sensitive information.

You’ll hear no tall tales from Mariners’ Rick Rizzs
H
ow many of us actually end up doing what we’ve always dreamed of since we were kids? I love what I’m doing, but I kinda grew into it. My mom likes to joke I always wanted to be a brain surgeon. I guess I gave that up when I found out how hard it would actually be. However, there’s one Issaquah resident I know of who’s “living the dream,” as he says, doing exactly what he’s wanted for the past 40 years — Seattle Mariners radio broadcaster Rick Rizzs. Rizzs was the featured speaker at last week’s chamber of commerce luncheon, and he offered some insight into a fascinating profession. Upon first spotting him at the function, a funny thought went through my mind that he actually led off with in a joke regarding his size. Rizzs once attended a function where a “little old woman” came up to him saying, “Oh, you’re Rick Rizzs.” He said it was nice to meet her. She repeated the phrase, only this time in the form of a question. “You’re Rick Rizzs?” Now he thought something
was wrong. She explained. “No, you just sound a lot taller on the radio.” As a kid of 12, Rizzs wrote a letter to longtime Chicago David Cubs broadHayes caster Jack Press reporter Brickhouse asking for advice regarding how to become a Major League broadcaster. The simple advice he received was, “Work hard, believe in yourself and eat your vegetables.” After graduating from Southern Illinois University, Rizzs got his first baseball job in 1975 in Louisiana as a clubhouse guy — shining shoes, washing uniforms and such. Working his way up the ranks, it wouldn’t be until 1983 that one of his audition tapes caught the attention of a Major League broadcaster, Dave Niehaus, of the Seattle Mariners. “That year, we lost 102 games,” Rizzs recalled. “It was See RIZZS, Page 5

T o the E ditor Healthcare

Everyone should have basic medical care
Anchors away in Issaquah, where hope is the plan
“There’s something sick about healthcare,” by Tom Corrigan, in the April 15, 2015, edition of The Issaquah Press was both informative and inspirational to read. It was very courageous for Mr. Corrigan to share the story about his wife Michelle’s unexpected illness and hospitalization. The first thing evident was that Corrigan’s put his family first. The expense for medical coverage goes beyond political, social or demographic and in some fashion or other affects all of us. This is basically a community responsibility. It is not so much about condolences for the Corrigans as it is how we can participate in assisting and ensuring that all the residents of the community have basic medical care. Now is the time for the members of the village to truly offer support and services by reaching out to our friends and neighbors when help is needed. Hopefully, this compelling article will be the catalyst for the creation of various support avenues to assist family with overwhelming medical cost and help cure healthcare.

According to the city, a point of pride for the Central Issaquah Plan is the 10,000-square-foot development (all single-story strip-mall) at the old Christmas tree lot south of Southeast 56th Street and 221st Place Southeast at the corner across from the Chevron/Brown Bear. If this is the model for the above points of pride, we all have lots to worry about. This singlestory San Fernando Valley, Southern California model of sprawl is something we already have along Gilman and one of the reasons for heavy traffic congestion there. It’s also ugly. The problem with the economic vitality model is that the city wants large projects to come into the city and be built upward, not out — but the demand for commercial space is not high enough to warrant developers to build up so they build out. Who cares if they look “nice” and “modern” and are “prideful”? Developers and others know that a nexus forms when multiple developments work together in close proximity — these plans are strewn across Issaquah and there is nothing but hope that binds
them together, and we all know from experience in Issaquah that hope is not a good plan.

Alzheimer’s
Support funding to find a cure for silent thief
It’s hard to imagine how a silent thief sneaks into one’s mind and steals treasured memories one by one. No officer gives chase. No arrests are made. Yet every 67 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease. This criminal is merciless. There’s no vaccine — no cure. It robs people of cherished life experiences, the ability to recognize loved ones, and then moves on to torment the rest of the body over time. Right now, there are more than 100,000 Washingtonians living with Alzheimer’s and another 300,000 caregivers support them, often sacrificing their own health. As an Alzheimer’s Association ambassador, it is my privilege to represent them all to our elected officials as I work to increase Alzheimer’s research. See LETTERS, Page 5

Neighborhood groups receive Alzheimer’s home grants for community events planned for IssaquahBy Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Several communities around Issaquah were the recipients last month of numerous grassroots grants given by the office of King County Executive Dow Constantine to support community or neighborhood activity.

Letters from page 4
Most people may not realize that Alzheimer’s is the most expensive disease in the nation, costing families and taxpayers a total of $226 billion in 2015. That number is estimated to soar to $1.1 trillion in 2050, potentially bankrupting Medicare, which is not prepared for the “silver tsunami.” As a former broadcast journalist, I find this story very troubling. I’m now in the healthcare field in assisted living and Alzheimer’s care, and I see the disease up close. I feel like I’m looking at that incoming wave with sheer disbelief. How will America handle the financial demands? Who will care for the millions in need? A staff member with Congressman Dave Reichert’s office met with Alzheimer’s advocates and we’re hoping we can count on his support in increasing Alzheimer’s research funding in 2016 as well as cosponsoring the HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act (H.R.1559/S. 857). It would provide care planning services to people newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Please contact Congressman Reichert and ask him to support these initiatives today. And visit www.alz.org/advocacy to get involved with the fight against Alzheimer’s.

I loved being the first one to open the tool shed. Tool sheds are wonderful places. They not only provide a separate place for the dirty, sharp weapons you use in the garden,
but also they can be focal points and even private hangouts. Almost anybody with a yard can have one, and it doesn’t have to be expensive, painted, heated, electrified or huge. In fact, if it’s less than 200 square feet and not in a restricted area, you don’t even need a permit to build it. You could use old wood, scraps and a window or door from the recycle center. The floor doesn’t have to be a See SHED, Page 8
After a few months of kale and Brussels sprouts, I thought it only fitting that I share with you this recipe for these delectable Peanut Butter Candy Bar Cookies. Healthy is all well and good, but really this is the kind of recipe that makes my heart and stomach most happy. With spring and summer on the horizon, I will no doubt feature plenty of fruit and vegetable recipes here, so it’s only appropriate that we deviate into the world of sweets a bit before the seasonal tide shifts to healthier fare. Typically, I have to take a cookie hiatus of several months after the holidays. It’s not really until April that I’m ready to dive back into the baking fray. While my family has been clamoring for homemade cookies for some time, I just simply haven’t been ready to break the cookie fast. I am, however, ready now, and I can think of no better way than with a recipe such as this. Soft, sweet, chewy, salty, chunky — all describe what makes this cookie such a

We’ve also been known to spread softened peanut butter and chocolate ice cream between two cookies for some out-of-this-world ice cream sandwiches. There is a delicious sort of alchemy that happens when these cookies bake. The filling of the Butterfinger candy bars, melts and transforms into a sort of peanut butter toffee, that when cool, gives the cookies a delicious, buttery crunch. This is definitely a “go-big-or-gohome” cookie. It’s perfect for hungry teenagers, husbands and breaking cookie fasts that have suddenly gone on entirely too long. See COOKIES, Page 11

O bituaries Dorothy May Little Dorothy May Little, (known to many who loved her as “Dot”) was born on Nov. 21, 1919, in Edmonton, Dorothy Little Alberta, Canada, to Anton and Lila May Graf. She moved to the United States at age 10 and lived in Puyallup until she was 15, when she moved to Bellingham. Throughout her life, she combined a no-nonsense practicality with her lively sense of humor, zest for adventure and limitless curiosity. Whether it was a class in poetry, art history or a trip to a new country, Dorothy always wanted to explore the next new thing and one of her favorite sayings was “Oh let’s just go see what that’s all about.” She met her husband, Donald Little, at a dance when she was 15, and they were both instantly smitten. They married a year later, on May 7, 1937, when Dot was 16. They kept their marriage a secret until she graduated from Meridian High School. Fifty years later, Don would write that she had been his only girlfriend and the “love of my life.” They were excellent dancers, skiers and golfers. They square danced, swing danced, “chicken-hopped,” skied and golfed their way through life together for 66 years, until Donald passed away at age 89. On July 9, 1945, Dorothy became a U.S. citizen, however she maintained her connection to her Canadian roots throughout her life. In 1954, she and Don moved to Lake Sammamish, Issaquah, where together, working side by side in the evenings and on weekends, they built the home they would live in for the next 44 years. It was here they raised their 3 children Susan, Donna and Gary as well as their 5 granddaughters. Dorothy loved to swim in the lake every day in the summer. Although she worked full time, family and friends were most important to her and she was hostess to a steady stream of visitors who came to the lake

house each spring and summer to enjoy swimming, Easter egg hunts, water skiing, boat rides, barbecues, family weddings and s’mores on the beach. They also designed and built a second home in 1966, an alpine cabin at Snoqualmie Pass, where Dorothy once again entertained the entire family nearly every winter weekend for family ski vacations and Christmas celebrations. In 1960, Dorothy and Don set out on a new adventure and purchased Dawson Plumbing and Heating on Capital Hill in Seattle. They created a thriving business, which they ran together for 16 years. They purchased several trailers and every year in early January, they would take off on another adventure, on the road together again, exploring the United States. They also enjoyed several trips to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Dorothy was also active in her community. For 3 years she was Chairperson of the Miss Issaquah Pageant, and served as PTA President of West Woodland Elementary and Issaquah High School and was a state PTA officer in 1952. Dorothy passed away at the age of 95 on Thursday, April 2, 2015. Preceding her in death were her husband Donald Little, her daughter Donna Jean Rogers and her son, Gary Allan Little. She is survived by her daughter Susan Farrington-Hopf (husband Bill), of Issaquah; daughter-in-law Clare Little, of Redmond; her granddaughters, Catherine Farrington, of Bellevue; Lori Larsen Lauritzen, of Sultan; Jacqueline Farrington-Otto, of Los Angeles, CA; Kris Larsen Taylor, of Spring Valley, CA; and Jennifer Beasley, of Arnold CA, as well as four greatgrandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. A celebration of Dorothy’s life will be held at The Upper Hillside Cemetery in Issaquah, on May 2, 2015, at 11 a.m. Please see www. flintofs.com for more information. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in her name to a charity of individual choice.

Lee Francis Scheeler, of Preston, passed away, Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at Lee Scheeler home. He was 89. Lee was born April 10, 1926, in Dickinson, North Dakota, to John and Anna Scheeler where he was raised and attended local schools. In his teens, his family moved to Seattle, where he attended Franklin High School. Later that same year, he was drafted in the United States Army. His service to his country saw him deployed to Europe with the 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. He saw hard fought action in Belgium and France, and in September 1944, they entered Germany. The 22nd suffered 2,773 casualties, or 85 percent of its normal complement of 3,257 soldiers in The Hurtgen Forest Battle. Lee also served with the occupation forces in Germany. In 1946, the 4th Infantry Division was deactivated at Camp Buttner, North Carolina. His awards include the World War II Victory Medal, the EuropeanMiddle East-Africa Campaign Medal, the Army of Occupation Medal and the Belgian Fourragere. He wore his awards and medals with pride on his American Legion uniform jacket. His coat also displayed the flag of the 4th Infantry Division. Lee married Dorothy Spencer in the late 1940s and they lived in the Seattle area, where Lee worked as ornamental ironworker and later in the post-war ship building industry. Lee and Dorothy’s daughter Teri is a testament to their time together. In the early 1950s, Lee married his soulmate, Louise Minkema, and they settled in Preston and started a family. Their children, Stephen, Siegfried, Lee, Roxanne and Ursula, all grew up

in Preston. In July 1963, Lee started a career with The Seattle Times as a pressman. It was a career that lasted nearly 30 years, until his retirement in April 1992. In his leisure time, Lee enjoyed photography, car shows, travel and spending time with his family. He also liked to spend time looking for treasures in the local thrift stores. Lee was active in his community. He was a member of Beach Barons Car Club, Rainer Beach South Sound T-Bird Club, Puget Sound Photographic Collectors Society, Issaquah Valley Senior Center, Fraternal Order of Eagles, American Legion Renton Pickering Post 79 and a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. His dedication to his fellow veterans and community led him to serve with the American Legion as a chaplain. He volunteer 342 hours at Tahoma National Cemetery paying homage through military honors to his fellow veterans. Lee will be remembered by his family and friends as a loving husband, father and friend who possessed a deep abiding love for his country. He will be deeply missed. Survivors include loving children Teri, Stephen (Cheryl), Siegfried (Peggy), Lee, Roxanne (Norman) and Ursula (Rick); two sisters; 10 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren: many nieces and nephews; and an uncountable amount of wonderful friends. He is preceded in death by his wife Louise, grandson Gregory, and his brother Patrick. A funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 30, 2015, at Flintoft’s Issaquah Funeral Home (392-6444).

So I have to find my own way, and with everybody else, we all find our own character traits even within the ensemble. “This show is really our show from Ms. Fry’s vision. It has to do with everything that she has been teaching us, and everything that we can create for us.” Jenna Bellavia, a junior, is filling the iconic role of Poppins. Bellavia noted that Skyline’s production is drawing from the books of P.L. Travers just as much, if not more, than the Disney movie. “Just the spin we’re putting on it with our own little magic and our own tricks and stuff, that’s unlike anything I know Skyline has ever seen, and hopefully something really fun for the community,” she said. The story, set in London in 1910, follows Poppins as she becomes a nanny for the Banks children, Michael and Jane.

“I am a junior, so I haven’t been (acting) recently, but I did some in middle school, and that was a blast, so I wanted to get back into it,” Lindberg said. “This was the perfect show to do it.” Bellavia knows all eyes will be on her as she channels her inner British taskmaster — she acknowledged Poppins as “always in control” and “one step ahead of the game.” “But at the same time, you want to make her human,” she added. “You don’t want to make her something that’s unrealistic onstage. You want her to still have this human connection with the kids and the family.” The cast didn’t even watch the Disney movie together, Willis said, evidence they’re trying to create something unique. Studying England around the turn of the 20th century was a big part of pre-rehearsal work. “It’s a best-of-bothworlds” story, Willis said. Lindberg said the musical has a lot of moving parts, which should result in high production value for the audience. “It may not be exactly what people expect, which will be refreshing for them, so maybe they won’t be coming to the show they think they know,” he said.

Matthew Richardson’s hat trick leads Spartans’ 5-0 rout of Falcons By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Lopsided victories don’t happen very often for Class 4A KingCo Conference boys soccer teams, so Skyline High School’s blowout of Woodinville on April 21 was a cause for celebration for the Spartans. Junior forward Matthew Richardson collected his first career hat trick, scoring in the 12th, 24th and 78th minutes as Skyline powered past the visiting Falcons, 5-0. “First and foremost, it was good that we got the win tonight,” Richardson said. “It’s a big win. It really shows KingCo that we came to play tonight.” It was also important for the Spartans in their chase for a higher playoff seed. They improved to 4-1 in KingCo matches, giving them a chance to vault past Inglemoor into second place with a win April 28, a contest played after press time. The Spartans close the regular season at rival Issaquah (at 7:30 p.m. May 1). Coach Don Braman said there aren’t many players in Skyline history who’ve scored a hat trick, and Richardson still has another season left to become the first player to do it twice. “It was great to see Matthew have such a strong evening — he works his tail off all the time — and for him to get some opportunistic goals early in the game when it mattered most, and to top it off with the cherry on top to get his hat trick, that was excellent,” Braman said. The Spartans controlled the game from virtually start to finish, and scored the game’s opening goal when midfielder Luis Daniel Miller made a sparkling
run past several defenders. Miller found forward Sergio Palomino near the top of the penalty area, and Palomino slipped the ball to Richardson, who beat Falcons goalkeeper Shea Bowdish with a blast to the near post. Palomino and Richardson teamed up again to make it 2-0. Palomino’s pass split two defenders, and Richardson dribbled around the charging Bowdish before slotting the ball in from a sharp angle. Woodinville’s Paul Reyes was given a red card for a studs-up challenge in the 35th minute, reducing the Falcons to 10 men the rest of the way. It didn’t take long for the Spartans to convert, as senior midfielder Sean Curtis scored on an 18-yard shot to make it 3-0 at halftime. “It’s hard to get back in the rhythm (after a red card), and they just didn’t get back,” Richardson said. “We got more goals, and it was fun to watch.” “Our guys understood that using the space and keeping possession in the game was going to really help us succeed, and it was their plan from the first moment,” Braman added. “So when they got the red card, it just made life harder on them.” Woodinville outshot Skyline in the second half, 7-6, but the Spartans converted two of their three shots on goal to cement the win. In the 60th minute, Nate Hardwick scored from 15 yards on a Curtis assist. Richardson completed his hat trick in the final minutes, running onto Miller’s lobbed pass and chipping the ball over the goalkeeper from 10 yards.

Issaquah track teams continue push toward postseason By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Track and field athletes know the maxim well — it’s not how you start the season, but how you finish that truly matters. A couple of Issaquah High School’s top athletes are going through that process this season. During an April 23 home meet against Class 4A KingCo Conference opponents Eastlake and Inglemoor, seniors Ellie Clawson and Ray Littles each sought improvements after slow starts to the season. In a meet mostly conducted under heavy rain, Clawson came off the track soaked but smiling after
finishing second in the girls’ 1,600 meters in 5 minutes, 28.4 seconds. Like a true competitor, though, Clawson wasn’t entirely satisfied. She stuck with Inglemoor’s Rebecca Ledsham for the first three laps, but Ledsham pulled away in the final quartermile to win by roughly 5 seconds. And Clawson is hoping to make a late-season push to better her times. She has the eighth-fastest time in KingCo 4A in the 3,200 meters, and still needs to drop several seconds to crack the top 10 in the 1,600. “I definitely haven’t been running nearly as well as I wanted to, especially at the beginning,” Clawson said,
“but I’ve been improving now, so I’m just hoping to get further than the level I did last year.” She and her sister, freshman Kenna Clawson, helped the Issaquah girls pile up 90 points to easily defeat Inglemoor (54) and Eastlake (40). Kenna Clawson anchored the Eagles’ 4x400 relay team, which won in 4:06.7. Issaquah has the conference’s top time this season in the event, and Kenna Clawson is ranked in the top 10 in both the 1,600 and 3,200. Ellie Clawson will run next year at Johns Hopkins University, an NCAA DiviBy Greg Farrar

sion III school in Baltimore. She’s hoping for a strong end to her senior season, one that has already included a second-place team finish at the state cross country championships. “It’s really special to have that with a team, that everyone can train together and support each other,” she said. Other Issaquah winners at the meet included Siarfo Abekah in the 100 hurdles (16.24) and 300 hurdles (49.24); Bella Foos in the 200 (27.14); Sami Corman in the 800 (2:18.6); and Bridgette Robertson in the discus (91 feet, 1 inch). On the boys’ side, Littles showed some spark in only his second competition of the season. He’s been slowed by an injury to his left hand, which happened about a month ago when he unsuccessfully tried to dunk a basketball. He showcased his speed in the 100 meters, bombing out of the starting blocks and winning in 11.24 seconds — a good time on a wet day, although well short of his KingCo-leading

He also placed second in the 200 (23.14), and ran the lead leg for both of the Eagles’ winning relay teams. “I’ve really been working on my start since I’ve had one hand,” Littles said. “It has been hard to come back. It’s been good to see my team get better by the week, but it’s been really good to get back out there with them.” Inglemoor won the boys’ meet with 74.5 points, with Issaquah second (69.5) and Eastlake third (37). The Eagles dominated the long-distance events, with Ian McConnell winning the 1,600 (4:32.7) and
Kennan Schrag winning the 3,200 (9:27.7). Schrag has had a strong junior season, recording top-10 conference times in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200. Sophomore Joe Nelson won the long jump (19-10 ½) and high jump (5-10). He’s ranked among the KingCo top 10 in the two events, as well as the triple jump. The Eagles have two more KingCo meets left — they host Bothell and Newport on April 30, and then travel to Mount Si on May 7. The postseason starts May 13 and 15 with the KingCo championships at Juanita High School in Kirkland.

“It feels great,” Richardson said of scoring three goals, “but I’ve got to give it to the team.

expeditions, Tyler said, although he didn’t know for sure. Mountain Gurus’ climbers were expecting to reach the summit in mid-May. Broadwell has posted some online updates about the expedition at www. mountaingurus.com/blog. Here is an update that was planned before the earthquake. April 15 Arrived at Everest Base Camp and upward After 10 days of walking, we arrived at Everest Base Camp on April 9. It was a beautiful, sunny day with spectacular mountain views all around. The top of Everest was shining above it all. As I walked the final steps over rock and glacial ice, I spotted our camp and familiar faces. Our camp staff have been preparing our arrival for weeks, working hard to shape this rugged landscape into a livable camp that we’ll call base camp for the next five to six weeks. Everything is difficult here. The thin, dry air makes the simplest tasks seem hard. Yet our camp is pleasant, furnished with comfortable chairs, a space heater and solar power. It’s a far cry from what the early pioneers of Hillary and Whittaker needed to endure.
The Issaquah Press
The following morning, we celebrated our Puja ceremony, a ritual we must complete before entering the Khumbu Icefall and the upper mountain. Although I’m not a Buddhist, I respect our Sherpa staff and their traditions, and overall, it’s great fun. The ceremony ends with the raising of prayer flags, Sherpa dancing, as well as a round of Cokes, Everest beer and local alcohol. After lunch, we say farewell to our Mountain Gurus trekkers. It was a real pleasure to have them with us on our walk to base camp. Three of us now remain: Ben Breckheimer, Brad Paskewitz and myself, as well as our Sherpa climbing staff. I’ve gotten to know Brad and Ben very well over the past years, guiding and climbing with them all over the world. As a successful businessman, Brad has taken up climbing in the hope of accomplishing the Seven Summits. Ben, an Army soldier, was severely wounded in Afghanistan by an IED, and after years of rehabilitation, hopes to be one of the first wounded warriors to summit Everest. For myself, I’ve been mountain guiding for the past 18 years and climbing long beyond that. I’ve dreamed about summiting Everest since I first read books about Reinhold Messner (“The Crystal Horizon”), Herzog and the Whittaker brothers, at age 14. In 2011, I came close to summiting Everest, but due to events beyond my

control, I decided to make a conservative decision and turn around at 27,000 feet. This year, we hope to reach the summit of Everest together. We also have a team of five climbing Sherpas. Lam Babu is our head climbing Sidar. Lam is also a good friend and I respect his leadership, calm nature and experience on the mountain. Together, we will do our best to keep our climbers and Sherpa staff safe on the mountain. The route up the Khumbu Icefall is significantly different this year. The Icefall Doctors, the team of Sherpas who maintain the route, have shifted the route toward the right side of the Icefall, away from the left-side West Shoulder and the ice avalanche zone, which killed 16 Sherpas last season. There is still avalanche danger from the right-side Nupste shoulder, but I’m told the route veers toward the middle as it climbs higher, avoiding most avalanche risks. On the upper part of the Icefall, we will still encounter huge towering seracs (ice towers), which present substantial danger if they collapse. The next two days, we’ve been training on a safe area of the Khumbu glacier outside of Base Camp. We’re reviewing skills, practicing crossing ladders and tying off on fixed lines. Climbing on Everest is very different than most places I guide. Normally, climbers are roped together and ascend at the same pace, providing safety for one another on steep terrain or while crossing crevasses. On Everest, we climb using fixed lines tied to the mountain with ice screws and snow anchors. This allows climbers to move independently at their own pace, also allowing climbers to rest at safer zones independent from one another. The morning of April 13 we planned to climb halfway up the Icefall as an acclimatization test run. Yet that evening, Base Camp was pounded with a few feet of snow, hold-
ing us back from climbing. By late morning, we had a few more Mountain Gurus trekkers visit us at Base Camp, as well as my good friend and trekking guide Naga Dorgee Sherpa. It’s nice to have company on these long rest days at Base Camp. On April 15, we decided to climb toward the Icefall as a training and acclimatization run, and with the climbing path still covered with deep snow, we ascended to 18,200 feet on the lower Khumbu Icefall. Ben and Brad did great climbing the steeper ice sections of the route using crampons and ascenders. It felt good to be heading up despite our oxygen-deprived lungs sensing every step. All and all, it was a good training day despite only climbing a quarter of the way to Camp 1. Since then, we’ve been trying to melt out. The weather forecast appears more stable the next few days, and we hope the Icefall Doctors will clear the route so we can climb higher later in the week. Stay tuned — we’ve had mixed success with Internet. April 17 Pumori Camp 1 On April 16, Base Camp was hit with another six inches of fresh snow. Winter is still holding on here in the Khumbu, although we’ve been busy, keeping our solar power running and playing endless Monopoly. Rest days can feel long without keeping ourselves busy. Today, we decided to take an acclimatization hike up to Pumori Camp 1 at 19,000 feet. Pumori is a nearby 7,000-meter peak overlooking Gorak Shep. Since the Icefall Doctors are still repairing the route up Everest, we need to keep moving and prepare ourselves for higher altitudes by doing alternate hikes. Tomorrow, April 18, will be a memorial rest day to the 16 Sherpa who lost their lives in last year’s ice avalanche. If the weather improves, we hope to climb to Everest Camp 1 on April 20, but our Sherpas still need time to stock Camp 1 with tents and food.

with four carriage units along Highlands Drive. Sloman said a carriage unit is an apartment built above a garage, but that garage does not necessarily have to be available for use by the residents of the apartment. She said such units are present in other parts of the city. The fact the three developments are following the Urban Village zoning is significant, according to city officials. Doug Schlepp, a development consultant for the city, said that by using the Urban Village zoning, all three projects fit into specific parameters. Various developmental details are worked out ahead of time, including such things as square footage and traffic impacts. In the case of the latter, once a development agreement is reached, no further traffic studies are needed. “You can do it upfront,” Schlepp said, adding the Urban Village zoning has been used for the Talus development as well as the three highlands projects.

The building’s lobby is being revamped, as are facilities and access for patrons with disabilities. In answering budget questions from Council President Paul Winterstein, Patterson said the

Prior to the arrival of the new developments, Sloman said the city and the Washington State Department of Transportation undertook some major road improvements in the area. Those projects included construction of the Interstate 90 interchange with Highlands Drive Northeast and a major extension of East Sunset Way. Sloman added the city took responsibility for the extension of East Sunset from about a quarter of the way along the hill. She said it’s easy to notice the difference in the makeup of the street between the portion constructed by Issaquah and that completed by the state. Neither developer returned several requests for comment. In terms of project completions, Sloman said she did not have exact dates. She said Polygon Northwest is asking for temporary certificates of occupancy as the Lakeside Terrace and Brownstones projects move along. Developers likely will do the same for the Discovery West project, she said.
project is definitely on budget, though the city has released some of the 10 percent contingency fee set aside at the outset of the work. The pool improvements are being paid for with funds from a $10 million recreation bond sale voters approved in 2013. ANSWER TO #5283
