Committee approves $518 million school bond proposal By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com A committee of parents, principals and other educational leaders has approved a plan that would ask Issaquah School District voters for more than a half-billion dollars to build four new schools and modernize several others. At a May 6 meeting, the district’s bond feasibility and development committee approved a package that would raise $518.5 million in voter-approved funds. The bond measure would likely appear on ballots in spring 2016. The final item to be added to the proposal is a big one: $120 million for a fourth comprehensive high school. The school would likely be built for a core population of 1,500 – smaller than Skyline and Issaquah high schools, but bigger than Liberty, which finished an expansion and modernization project last year. Another $148.5 million would go toward building a new middle school and two new elementary schools. That would give the dis-
trict a total of six middle schools and 17 elementary schools. Superintendent Ron Thiele said locations haven’t been chosen for any of the new schools, and the Issaquah School Board would likely discuss those specifics in a private executive session to avoid a possible spike in real estate prices. Thiele is expected to review the proposal, and the school board will likely set its own timeline for bringing a bond measure to a public vote. The proposal includes $97 million for property acquisition costs. Officials have previously said large plots of land inside the district boundaries are becoming increasingly scarce, and increasingly expensive, going for $1 million to $2 million per acre. The district needs roughly 10 acres to build a new elementary school, 20-25 for a middle school, and 40-45 for a high school. The plan also calls for expanding and remodeling five elemenSee SCHOOL

May’s Hometown Hero Bill Merritt saves lives By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com Bill Merritt is in the business of saving lives. The fourth-generation Issaquah resident has worked as a firefighter, an EMT and now operates his own emergency training education business. A career in public safety is just the Merritt way, as all of his siblings have devoted their lives to the firefighting or paramedic professions. “It’s in the blood!” Merritt said in a short biography posted on the Issaquah Citizen Corps website. For his service in saving lives, and teaching others how to do it, Merritt was nominated as an Issaquah Press Hometown Hero. Merritt trains both corporate and neighborhood groups how to confidently handle emergency situations. In addition to firstaid and CPR instruction, he also specializes in blood-born pathogen training, fire extinguisher training and educating users on the ins and out of an automated external defibrillator. “These courses are presented around the greater 12saquah community and beyond — to

Former highlands hotel site up for sale By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com A roughly 53,976-square-foot site in the corner of the Issaquah Highlands, once slated for a Marriot hotel, is now on the auction block for $1.8 million. The property sits next to Grand Ridge Plaza, at the corner of 10th Avenue Northeast and Falls Drive. Realty Marketing/Northwest, based in Portland, Oregon, is handling the sale of the property, which has been on the market for a few years, said
John Rosenthal, Realty Marketing president. Rosenthal did not identify the owners, though in 2012, news articles gave the owners as InnSight HMG of Springfield, Oregon, who initially planned a 111-room, five-story Residence Inn by Marriott. They broke ground in July 2012. Developers and Marriott completed $750,000 in site preparation and then just stopped. Rosenthal said construction permits for the site have expired. Owners were asking $3 million for the property, but he
said he believes it will attract more interest at the lower price and he may be right. There are developers looking at the location, said Keith Niven, Issaquah economic development director. “There are fish in the sea and they are swimming around,” Niven said. According to Rosenthal, use of the property is restricted to a hotel until 2017. Niven said the restrictions call for either a hotel or office use. Prior to 2017, any other use See SALE, Page 3

Well-known Issaquah Soccer Club splits By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Some changes have come to the popular Issaquah Soccer Club and those changes didn’t arrive without some ongoing debate. The former Issaquah Soccer Club has now split into two groups: the Issaquah Soccer Club Gunners and the Issaquah Football Club. The original ISC was founded in 1981, said Jeff Newell, a board member for the ISC Gunners. The ISC was part of the umbrella group the Eastside Youth Soccer Association. But late last year, EYSA officials decided they wanted to unify all the groups that played in their league into one big Eastside soccer group. Newell said that wasn’t “a totally horrible idea.” Still, in the end, the ISC decided to go their own way and morphed into the ISC Gunners. “The reason was kind of
twofold,” Newell said. The old ISC was somewhat unusual, according to Newell, in that it had both a rec league and premier club teams. Just as the old ISC was part of the EYSA, the EYSA was in turn part of one of the two nationally accredited soccer federations, U.S. Youth Soccer. Newell said under U.S. Youth Soccer rules, in uniting with the EYSA, ISC would have had to give up its premier teams, which currently boast 700 players. Giving up the premier teams wasn’t something ISC was willing to do. “We were going to be pushed out anyway,” Newell said regarding the EYSA, so the ISC just decided to go it alone. Newell said board members had looked at the club’s situation, its financial health, access to fields, game officials and other factors, and decided they actually would be better off on their own.
School bond: ‘The right thing to do.’
Expanding the district’s administration building for $7.5 million was maybe the most debated portion of the plan. Jake Kuper, Issaquah’s chief of finance and operations, said the space is not meeting current needs. With the district expecting to add 1,500 to 2,000 students in the next five years, more central from page 1 staff will need to be hired, and the building doesn’t have the space to house tary schools, two middle them. schools and the district’s The committee looked central administration at the possibility of leasbuilding for a total of $128 ing additional administramillion. tive space, but believed The five elemenexpanding a district-owned tary schools targeted are building would be more Cougar Ridge, Discovery, cost-effective in the long Endeavour, Maple Hills and run.

“We don’t see it changing all that much,” said Joe Yellig, ISC Gunners executive director. He said players may play some different teams, but he sees that as a plus. Not everyone does. Some away games for the premier teams may be as far as Puyallup or Tacoma, said Amy Soto, one of the founders of the Issaquah Football Club that has risen in opposition to the Gunners. In an email, she also said some Gunners rec teams only would play other Gunners rec teams. “As a volunteer for the new Issaquah FC, I am part of a very small group that is trying to provide continuity for the recreational player in the Issaquah/Sammamish community,” she said. The Gunners have joined a new league known as the South Puget Sound Recreational Soccer League. Some of the clubs do include groups from Puyal-
big enough. “That’s one goal as well, is to stop encroaching on our neighboring buildings,” Kuper said. “This facility is just maxed out from a usage standpoint.” Issaquah is already using more than 100 portable classrooms — every school has at least one — and the bond proposal would spend $6 million on more. Of the remaining funds, $1 million would purchase land to expand the district’s transportation facilities, $6 million would go toward project management needs, and $12 million would be set aside for contingencies and a reserve fund for future projects. Every Issaquah school had a parent representative on the committee, which held three meetings, and theLogo group reached a consensus Here quickly enough that a meeting scheduled for May 20 won’t need to take place.

lup, Sumner and other locations. While Sota said the Issaquah FC is small for now, she also said word is spreading. She believes the Issaquah FC can offer an alternative for parents who don’t want their kids playing outside of their traditional geographic range. As for the Gunners, they have roughly 1,800 rec level players, 500 or so select players and those 700 premier players, Newell said. Yellig said the response from parents has been good. “It’s been very positive so far,” he said. “People are excited.” “The bottom line is we just want a lot of kids playing soccer,” Newell said. “It’s a really awkward situation,” Sota said, adding she doesn’t believe most parents know entirely what is going on.

search district officials put into their proposals. “This is a controversial issue, because there are people in here who are very skeptical of government, and yet …everybody was convinced that this was the right thing to do,” Grudin said. Committee members Dawn Peschek and Alicia Veevaert, who co-chair the Volunteers for Issaquah Schools group, also see needs in and around their children’s schools. Peschek, who has children at Maple Hills Elementary and Maywood Middle School, indicated there’s an issue of maintaining equity for all students. “It’s still a nice school … but it needs to be upgraded,” she said of Maple Hills. “It’s old. It’s from 1969. So it’s time, and the other schools in the area have been upgraded.” Veevaert, whose children attend Pine Lake and Skyline, said she was excited to see Pine Lake addressed in the new proposal, since it was a late cut from the district’s 2012 bond measure. “You look around Sammamish, you look around down here in the corridor, downtown Issaquah, and you can’t help but notice that we’re already outgrowing our schools,” Veevaert said.

Merritt: Trains CERT classes from page 1
He donates a portion of his Merit Emergency proceeds to the Refuge Youth Center, a local afterschool program for at-risk teens. The program, founded by Merritt’s wife Gwynn, empowers youths to become responsible, healthy adults. Refuge Youth Center helps teens get summer jobs, encourages the ideals of ethics, leadership and personal boundaries, and offers healthy field trips and activities. Merritt also leads, trains and supports Citizens Emergency Response Teams in Issaquah. The CERT program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills. In that same vain, Merritt is a founder of the Issaquah Citizen Corps, a nationwide program to encourage residents to create a state of community emergency awareness and preparedness while being ready to collaborate with local responders in time of need. Issaquah Citizen Corps aims to encourage its citizens to be self-reliant and community-spirited. Community groups also know Merritt for his generous donations of life-saving AEDs.

King County communications EFR may seek upgrade passing voter muster nonprofit status
Issaquah voters in the April 28 special election had only one issue in front of them, Proposition 1, a King County property tax increase to help fund a $273 million replacement of the county’s emergency communication systems. The latest election figures available before press time had the issue passing countywide, 191,385 to 101,184, or 65 percent to 34.5 percent. Results won’t be official until they are certified May 15. The present emergency system is rapidly aging and if county voters approve
the measure the system would be replaced by an all new Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network, said David Mendal, PSERN project manager. During a presentation to the Issaquah City Council, Mendal made clear that the system operates separately from 911. It is the system emergency personnel use to communicate with one another, and was used 115 million times last year. The entire network currently includes 26 transmitter sites supporting some 19,000 radios, according to information
from the county. Proposition 1 would replace all of those radios and upgrade call centers. Issaquah police would receive approximately 72 new radios, while Eastside Fire & Rescue would pick up more than 350. If approved, the 7-cent property tax levy would stay in place for nine years. For the median homeowner in King County with property valued at $378,000, the levy would cost $26.46 per year. The Issaquah City Council voted unanimously to support the issue.
Dogwood bridge will be replaced next month
Five Rivers Construction is the contractor for the project. Funding for the Northwest Dogwood Street Bridge is provided primarily through a $2,254,400 federal grant, with the city contributing $563,600 toward the project.

was judged in multiple categories, including product innovation, services offered, responses to adversity and contributions to community-oriented projects. “Mark Eggen took an idea and within five years turned it into a multichain restaurant,” SBA district director Nancy Porzio said in a news release. “This is what Small Business Week is all about — celebrating achievements and showcasing entrepreneurial spirit.” Eggen said Hop Jacks has a Good Neighbor Fund, which sets aside 25 cents from every beer sold. The fund raised more than $50,000 last year that went back into local communities. “This award isn’t about me,” Eggen said in the release. “This award is really for all my employees and everything they have done. They are what make Hop Jacks what it is.”
Starting May 26, a section of Northwest Dogwood Street will close as a new bridge is built. The street will be closed from approximately Third Place Northwest to the 110 block of Northwest Dogwood Street. Signage will provide detour information for pedestrians and drivers. The new bridge is expected to open in early October. The existing bridge, built in 1950, will be replaced with a span that includes two 12-foot travel lanes, sidewalks and bike lanes. In addition, the project will provide street lighting, and move overhead utilities underground. The new bridge design will also reduce the chance of flooding in Issaquah Creek, by providing more capacity for the creek.

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Though it may not happen soon, Eastside Fire & Rescue is looking to become the first official nonprofit emergency service entity in Washington. “Essentially, we’re a large umbrella group,” Deputy Chief Bud Backer said. That group currently is governed by a batch of interlocal agreements reached with each client community. There would no changes in service levels or funding, he said. Technically, all workers are employees not of the city they may work in or EFR, but of King County Fire Protection District 10, which partners with EFR. “There’s been an interest in changing the employer of record,” Fire Chief Lee Soptich said. “There hasn’t been any issues, but the possibility is there for the employer of record to wield a lot of power.” District 10 does most of the personnel paperwork, including handling retirement plans for emergency workers. If Eastside becomes a formal nonprofit group,
emergency workers would be employees of that nonprofit and paperwork, including such things as retirement plans, would be handled in-house. “It evens out responsibility and control,” Backer said. Backer and others said EFR is seeking to get an OK from each of its client cities. It would also need the Internal Revenue Service to make a decision on certain issues related to retirement benefits. Backer added he doesn’t expect a definitive answer on that question until 2016. EFR officials started thinking about morphing into a nonprofit in 2013, Backer said. “It’s just a way to solidify our governance,” he said. EFR’s union is in the midst of contract negotiations with EFR leadership. Backer said the previous contract was extended three years ago because of the recession happening at the time. He said talks are going well, from his point of view. “We’re down to all the money stuff,” he said. “Both sides seem to be ready to work together.”

would require rezoning. “If they wanted to do a Chic-fil-A, we probably wouldn’t allow that,” Niven quipped. When Microsoft owned property nearby and planned a business campus, Niven said, a hotel in the area made a lot of sense. There are hotels in central Issaquah that do nothing but cater to the headquarters of retail giant Costco Wholesale, he said. When Microsoft sold its property, the need for a hotel in the highlands might have disappeared. “There were times when it seemed like the ball was rolling and then it stopped,” Niven said regarding the hotel project. After 2017, both Niven and Rosenthal said the property could be used for anything from commercial to residential. Niven said he doesn’t know if the land will sit unused for that length of time. “From the city’s point of view, we’re not really worried about it… We’ll treat it like any other vacant property,” he added. Rosenthal said sealed bids are due to his firm by 5 p.m. June 5. Sales material describes the surrounding highlands as a 2,200-acre planned community, projected to contain 3,250 residential units, 2.9 million square feet of commercial space and 425,000 square feet of retail.

Everyone can help keep motorcyclists safe
M
ay is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and the Department of Licensing, Washington Traffic Safety Commission, Washington State Patrol and the Washington State Department of Transportation have teamed up to remind drivers of cars, trucks and buses to look out for, and share the road with, motorcycle riders. “Motorcycle safety depends on safe driving and cooperation of everyone on the road, whether they’re on a bike or in a car,” Gov. Jay Inslee said in a news release. In Washington, motorcycle deaths are not steadily declining like overall traffic deaths. From 2011 through 2013, motorcycles made up just 4 percent of the registered vehicles on our roads, but accounted for almost 17 percent of all traffic fatalities (225 of 1,327). According to multiple case studies including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 62 percent of motorcycle fatalities occur between May and September, and a majority of motorcycle accidents are caused when a vehicle motorist fails to detect and recognize a motorcyclist. In the first four months of 2015, there have been nine motorcyclist fatalities. The five-year average (2010-2014) for this same four-month time period is 12 fatalities. Speeding, running off the road and riding under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs are main contributing factors in these crashes. Motorcyclists should always ride sober and within the posted speed limits, get the required training and endorsement, and wear DOT compliant helmets and protective gear. Motorists can help keep motorcyclists safe by: 4Allowing a motorcycle the full width of a lane at all times. 4Always signaling when changing lanes or merging with traffic. 4If you see a motorcycle with a signal on, be careful. Motorcycle signals are often noncanceling and could have been forgotten. Always ensure that a motorcycle is turning before proceeding. 4Checking all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections. 4Always allowing more following distance — three to four seconds — when behind a motorcycle. This gives the rider more time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. 4Never drive distracted or impaired. Several projects are underway in Washington to reduce serious motorcycle crashes. The campaign “It’s A Fine Line” promotes safe riding through social media outlets. DOL training contractors are distributing motorcycle hangtags to dealerships statewide to encourage riders of all skill levels to get certified training. DOL also produced a motorist awareness video. See it at https://youtu. be/_b3T7u4ZJ1Y. Learn more about motorcycle safety at www.nhtsa.gov/ Safety/Motorcycles.

Don’t forget to nominate your hero They come in all shapes and sizes. They build water wells, schools, homes and churches in foreign countries. They make quilts or sweaters or socks or wigs for people with cancer. They give their time to animals at local animal shelters, help victims of domestic violence and give up birthday presents, instead asking that they go to others. What do these people all have in common? They are all what we’re looking for in an Issaquah Press Hometown Hero. A hero is “a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal,” according to Dictionary.com. That’s exactly what an Issaquah Press Hometown Hero is. People always say that they get tired of bad news. Who doesn’t? Here’s a secret: Even those of us who cover news, or maybe especially those of us who cover news, are tired of bad news. That’s part of the reason we started our Hometown Hero
award. We want to tell positive stories about positive things and people every chance we get. And you can help. Send us information Kathleen about your hero, and give Merrill Press managing editor us contact information for that person. Each month, we’ll decide on a Hometown Hero and feature him or her in the paper. There is no age limit for a Hometown Hero. We’re looking for young and old. There is also no limit on what makes a hero. We’re looking for people who do big things and small things. People can also be nominated posthumously. At the end of the year, we’ll name a Hometown Hero of the Year from our 12 Hometown Heroes of the Month, and honor all of our heroes with a celebration.

No everyone appreciates a sharp idea Delbert’s at it again. You know Delbert McLain, our local chamber of commerce? He’s the guy who wants to bring lots of people here so the place isn’t quite as nice as it is now. Well, ol’ Delbert zipped into the Mule Barn truck stop the other day, plopped down at the empty Round Table, and motioned for those of us at the philosophy counter to join him. We did. “Boys,” he said, when we were seated and sipping, “I want to bounce an idea off you and see how it goes.” He almost whispered, “Two words … knife sharpening!” “Sure,” said Dud, pulling a diamond steel from a holster on his belt. “I’ll sharpen it for you, Delbert.” “No, I don’t mean I need a knife sharpened,” he said, “I mean … a knife-sharpening contest. Actually, a knife-sharpening fiesta!” His face beamed, he spread his arms, his hands palms up toward Heaven as the sheer divine magnitude of the idea settled in.

Frankly, I did not spot the humor or the point of the “cartoon” for that matter. However, it was easy to spot the disrespect for our police officers, not only in making them look confused, simple-minded, stupid and, frankly, dangerous since they are depicted as unable to distinguish a Taser from a doughnut. I can only hope that if the artist Clay Jones ever gets in trouble and needs police protection that the police show up with more than a doughnut to protect Mr. Jones. But, if they did show up with a doughnut and Mr. Jones had to defend himself…well, I might find that a little comical.

Spot the Taser or the Humor or just the point of the drawing
The title says “Pay to Play Cop Training” and the display says “Spot the Taser.” I think the text on the display must be wrong. Was it was supposed to say, “Spot the Humor” or “Spot All the Middle Aged, Steve Scott Dumb-looking, White Cops” Issaquah or maybe “Spot the Favorite Cuisine of a ‘Cop’” since there was a doughnut at the center of the display?

Don’t allow a restaurant in the neighborhood
For those who don’t know, the Elks Club is out of business. Their membership dues could no longer support the facilities. The now-empty building is located a half-block north of Confluence Park on Rainier Boulevard North. It is for sale and there is a rumor that a Chinese restaurant will be located there. I was shocked to discover that the existing zoning, MUR, does allow a restaurant use. Any kind of restaurant in this location is incompatible. The whole area has developed as a residential neighborhood providing the quality of life expected in a quiet residential setting. A restaurant would change the entire neighborhood atmosphere for the worse. Fortunately, the property has not sold. No building permits have been issued, or even applied for. It’s not too late to change the zoning to eliminate the allowable restaurant use. A change at this time would have zero impact on any current building plans, but would have major future impact in keeping the residential area residential. I have asked the City Council to make this change. If you live in the area or if you think a restaurant there is a bad idea, please contact the Mayor or

Award winning director Brian Yorkey discusses his return to Village Theatre to helm the musical ‘Cabaret.’
Brian Yorkey returns to direct ‘Cabaret’ By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com He’s won a Tony award, not to mention a Pulitzer Prize. Still, virtually every year he makes a return to where it literally all started for him, Village Theatre. “Not to get mushy, but this is home,” Brian Yorkey said, explaining why he keeps coming back to Issaquah despite a full plate of movie scripts, other plays and projects of various kinds. Yorkey’s first theater experiences were on the Village Theatre’s KIDSTAGE and he later served for several years as artistic director. He is back in town this time to direct a production of the iconic musical “Cabaret,” which runs May 14 to July 3. According to Yorkey’s director’s notes for the play, “Cabaret” is the musical adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s “Berlin Stories.” It made its Broadway debut in 1966 under the direction of the legendary Harold Prince. Yorkey said he feels that like many of Prince’s plays, which include “Evita” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” that “Cabaret” is somehow about theater itself, a topic he obviously finds fascinating. “‘Cabaret’ shows us a group of people who are using theater to escape their lives, and then it shows us what that cost them,” Yorkey said in his director’s notes. Yorkey adds he wants this production of “Cabaret” to be a “memory play” for the character of Cliff, who is really a stand in for Isherwood. Yorkey wants “to follow a man searching his memory to understand who he was

In short, when the world goes sour, what will be your response? Yorkey writes that to him, that’s what “Cabaret” is truly about: truthfully recognizing the choices we make and the consequences of those choices. One difference between this production of “Cabaret” and other musicals done at Village Theatre is that a six-piece combo will actually be onstage, taking part in the action, said Yorkey and musical director Tim Symons. “That’s something that doesn’t happen very often in the Village Theatre,” Symons said. Yorkey and Symons have worked hand-inhand on the production. Not incidentally, Symons learned the accordion just for this show. “Tim is one of my favorite people to collaborate with,” Yorkey said, adding they’ve been doing so for about a decade. He added all of the staff of Village Theatre have much in common and know each other well. “We all love making theater together,” he said. Yorkey and Symons have written four shows together. “We get each other’s point of view,” Symons said.

he name Roy Malmassari has been associated with Ford motorcars since before the Edsel. The 86-year-old native of Hobart hung up his Kelly Blue Book and his dealer license plates for the last time April 30 after being in the car business for almost seven decades. He has been associated with the Ford dealership in Issaquah since 1981. Malmassari’s first job in the car business was just after World War II, when he was hired to pump gas at Sorenson Motors in Snoqualmie. One year later, the industrious young man moved across town to become the service manager at the Golden Dale Dealership in North Bend. He transitioned from the service department to the front office in 1978, when he became part owner of the dealership. His life has been customer service and test drives ever since. Party time The management at Evergreen Ford Lincoln in Issaquah will celebrate the career of its longest tenured employee this Thursday at a reception from 6-7 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1800 N.W. Gilman Blvd. The retirement party is open to all past customers and anybody who has stories to share about the icon of the

local Ford dealership. The reception will feature a cake with an image of his wife’s favorite car, a classic Lincoln Continental. Dan Rowe, owner of Evergreen Ford Lincoln, said the dealer has also ordered cookies that will be decorated to resemble Roy’s face. The car man’s tenure will be honored by the head of Ford Motor Co., Alan Mulally. A framed photograph of the CEO and Malmassari taken at a corporate event at the corporate offices several years ago will be presented during the festivities. “He was our rock,” Rowe said. “He brought stability and leadership to the dealership every day.” According to Rowe, his longtime employee was at the dealership when the current structure was built on 18th Avenue Northwest near Exit 15 of Interstate 90.

Mourners remember McNugget By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com If there was any evidence that Issaquah is still a close-knit, small-townfeel community, despite the city’s constant growth and development, it was on display in a Staples parking lot May 8. Amidst national protests and global natural disasters, Issaquah residents gathered Friday to remember a dead rooster. It is understandably hard for outsiders to comprehend all the fuss over the fowl, but McNugget was more than a rooster. He had an innate ability to bring the community together, as evidenced by the steady stream of people that came to honor him at a special memorial. Some wore black, others stayed casual, but several mourners filtered in-andout of the Staples parking lot during the two-hour celebration of his life. McNugget was killed April 27, after a neighborhood dog got to him. The dog initially ran away, but neighbors later found the rooster’s body and plan to respectfully bury it in an

relied on Malmassari not only for his knowledge of the auto industry, but to know where the breaker box and other essentials were located to keep the doors open for business. Malmassari had his desk in the new car showroom just outside of Rowe’s office for the past several years. The owner said it was a pleasure to watch Roy deal with longtime customers who walked into Evergreen to buy their 10th and 11th vehicle from the seasoned professional. His sales over the past few years were limited to referrals and family members of his clients from the past 30 years. “He was light-hearted and always gave the kids a hard time,” Rowe said of the younger member of the staff. “He had a smile for everybody. In all the years I’ve known him, I’ve never heard him get mad or have a negative word to say about anybody.” Rowe stopped, smiled and quickly corrected himself. He then said the only time he ever saw Malmassari become angry was after new computers were installed at every salesperson’s desk. “Roy thought somebody had taken away his access to the Internet,” Rowe laughed. In his footsteps Dan Gunnells was hired as a lot boy by Malmassari 19 years ago to See MOTOR

She and Ed found friendships among fellow members of the East Shore Unitarian Church. She is survived by her sister Alice (Merrick) Baugh, of Kirkland; children David Baugh (Kay Peterson), of Seattle, Susan Baugh Tomley (Les), of Santa Cruz, California, and Kenneth Baugh (Pamela), of Sammamish; grandchildren Laura Tomley Lucas (John), of Santa Cruz, California, Heather Tomley (Wes Jacobs), of Redondo Beach, California, Kyle Baugh of Issaquah, Lindsay Baugh Smith, (Kyle), of North Bend, Erica Baugh Marcoux (Doug), of Snoqualmie; great-grandchildren Michael and Sam Lucas, of Santa Cruz, California, Dylan and Avery Marcoux, of Snoqualmie, and Dylan Jacobs, of Redondo Beach, California; and many nieces and nephews living in varied locations on both the West and East coasts and in France. We are grateful for the kindness shown toward Ruth by the wonderful staff at Redmond Heights, where she spent her last years, and the caring support of the Group Health hospice team during the last few weeks of her life. These dedicated individuals all added immeasurably in helping our family feel that she received the best care available. Ruth will be greatly missed, but her spirit lives on forever in the hearts and thoughts of those who loved her and in the cuttings she nursed to life in her garden. The family plans a private memorial service this summer to gather and share fond memories.
(July 24, 1917 - April 13, 2015) Ruth Baugh, longtime resident of Issaquah, enjoyed a full life pursuing varied interests during her 97 years. She was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and moved with her family to Alplaus, a suburb of Schenectady, New York. She graduated from Nott Terrace High School in Schenectady, New York, where she met her future husband, Edward Baugh (Ed) and earned a teaching degree from Union College, Schenectady. She and Ed married in 1939, after which she began a teaching career and he earned an engineering certificate through his employment at General Electric Co. They worked at GE supporting the war effort during World War II and moved in 1948 to Boston, Massachusetts, where Ed continued his work in top-secret development of radar at MIT. In 1952, they moved to Seattle, where Ed began his career at The Boeing Co., settling their family near Issaquah at Pine Lake, where Ruth continued to live following Ed’s death in 1997. She and her family enjoyed camping, boating, fishing and hiking vacations in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and the San Juan Islands. In their 50s, Ruth and Ed took up backpacking, relishing weekend trips in the mountains together with their brother and sister, Norman and Alice (Merrick) Baugh. Ruth especially enjoyed gardening with native plants and was a longstanding member of the Arboretum Foundation at the University of Washington Botanic Gardens as well as the American Rock Garden Society, Northwestern Chapter. After her children entered college, she enrolled at the University of Washington, received a master’s degree in librarianship, and began

Meerwood Park playground work resumes this week
Transmission lines going in for new school
Work on a new playground is resuming at Meerwood Park. The city is upgrading outdated playground equipment at the park. Construction stopped during the winter and spring due to wet soil and inclement weather. Work is now continuing and the new playground is expected to open by late June. In November 2013, Issaquah voters approved a $10 million park bond measure to protect open space and wildlife habitat, improve neighborhood parks and playgrounds, and make repairs to the Julius Boehm Pool. Learn more at issaquahwa.gov/ parkbond.
Puget Sound Energy has begun installing new transmission lines near Southeast Evans Street — close to Clark Elementary School and the Issaquah Sportsmen’s Club — for the new Issaquah Middle School. The installation will require crews to remove 38 trees on the school site, as well as four trees on the north side of Southeast Evans Street adjacent to the Rainier Trail. City staff will be onsite to ensure that the trees marked for removal are consistent with the middle school construction plans and issued permits. The installation project will take about a week to complete.

Nate Steffens’ no-hitter propels Liberty into a state regional berth
By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com
By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com Despite a regular season record below .500, and a seventh-place finish in the eight-team KingCo 3A/2A Conference, the Liberty High School baseball team is headed to state. After a two-win day in the District 2/3 2A baseball tournament May 9, the Patriots are guaranteed a state regionals berth. They’ll continue district play next week to determine which seed they’ll get. Liberty didn’t have to travel at all for first-round district play, hosting games at the high school on Saturday. After playing mostly 3A teams in KingCo, the Patriots, as the KingCo No. 1 seed, began its first foray into the 2A playoffs with a lot of success. That’s what it’s called when you score 10 runs in the opening game, and toss a no-hitter while you’re at it. Liberty needed only five innings to discard Seamount League foe Foster, 10-0, in the first game. In a game that started relatively tame, with just one run scored in the first two innings, Liberty erupted for five runs in the third inning, and added four more in the fifth. The Patriots opened the scoring in the second, when Nick Gunn drove in James Workman on an RBI double. All nine Patriots came to the plate in the five-run third inning, highlighted by Torey Anderson’s triple and a pair of doubles courtesy of Tyler Haselman and Workman. Workman, Haselman and Gunn each led the team with two hits, while Gunn was the Patriots’ RBI leader with two. Meanwhile, on the mound, Liberty pitcher Nate Steffens couldn’t be touched. Steffens threw five innings of no-hit baseball, struck out 10 Foster Bulldogs and didn’t walk a batter. He was just an error shy of a perfect game. With one win under their belts, the Patriots played again later that day, defeating Olympic, 5-0, to advance in the winner’s bracket. Against Olympic, Steffens showed he could do damage with his bat, too. This time playing center field,

Liberty High School pitcher Nate Steffens winds up to pitch in the Patriots’ 10-0 win over Foster. Steffens threw a no-hitter and came just an error away from a perfect game. Steffens went 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. Anderson got the start for the Patriots this time and he went on to throw a seven-inning shutout. He, too, had a 2-for-3 day at the plate. Gunn picked up two more RBIs in the Olympic game, while Eddie Delgado went a productive 2-for-3 with one RBI at the plate. Liberty is back in action 1 p.m. May 16 against Fife at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. If they win, they’ll play in the district tournament championship at 4 p.m. State regional play is May 23, and the final rounds of the state tournament, should the Patriots advance, are May 29-30 in Yakima. Liberty boys soccer After finishing the season with a 6-5-1 conference record, the Liberty boys soccer team earned the KingCo
No. 1 seed into the District 2/3 2A soccer tournament. The Patriots will play the South Puget Sound League’s No. 1 seed at 7 p.m. May 14 at Franklin Pierce Stadium. If they win, they’ll advance directly to the district championship at 7 p.m. May 16 at Franklin Pierce. A win would also ensure the Patriots are headed to the state tournament. If they lose the first game, they’ll get one more chance to advance to state in a loser-out game at noon May 16 at Art Crate Stadium in Spanaway. While Liberty sports teams are finding that 2A state sports sites are often east of the mountains, the boys soccer team wouldn’t have to travel too far if they qualify. The 2A state championship playoffs is May 29-30 at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner.
Redmond ends Issaquah’s season By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com Trailing by a goal late in the second half, the Issaquah High School boys soccer team did a lot of things right in order to tie the game and keep its season alive. But only six minutes after Mitch Keller scored the equalizer, Redmond’s Keito Suzuki got free behind the Eagles’ defense and scored the 75th-minute winner, giving the visiting Mustangs a 2-1 victory on May 7 in a loser-out game of the Class 4A KingCo Conference tournament at Gary Moore Stadium. Issaquah ended its season with a 7-6 record, while Redmond (8-4-2) advanced to another loser-out game May 11 against Skyline, results that came after press time. The Redmond-Skyline winner will play May 14 at either Inglemoor or Mount Si for KingCo’s second berth to the state tournament. Issaquah head coach Kyle Tatro gave credit to the Mustangs for a hard-fought game, and said he believed the result boiled down to the two chances they finished. The teams have very contrasting styles, Tatro said, with Redmond focusing largely on offense and Issaquah largely on defense. “Redmond is a really good team, lot of good players, great coach,” he said. “It was their night. They were well-prepared.” Redmond head coach Tom Bunnell, who also coaches the Issaquah High girls team, said his squad made some tactical adjustments in their final regular-season match against Bothell, and the Mustangs stuck with the same plan for the playoff opener. The result was a lot of freeflowing soccer, with Redmond controlling the ball in the midfield and making several dangerous runs through the middle and on the wings. The Mustangs outshot the Eagles 14-6 in the first half, with Issaquah’s
Skyline outlasts Issaquah in girls KingCo tennis Fans of the Skyline and Issaquah high school girls tennis teams couldn’t have asked for a much better match than what they witnessed when the rival schools got together in the Class 4A KingCo Conference regular-season finale. Issaquah came out on top in a couple marathon singles matches, but visiting Skyline earned a 4-3 win May 6 by sweeping the three doubles matches. Skyline sophomore Ali Brazier, playing No. 3 singles, also came up with an important victory for her team, breezing past Christine Park, 6-1, 6-1. “I thought my serve was very consistent, and I had positive self-talk that let me win and stay in the points,” Brazier said. “And my footwork was really good as well.” Brazier has made big strides on the court since her freshman season: She has gone from being the 12th-ranked player on the team to No. 6, vaulting herself into No. 3 and No. 4 singles matches instead of JV matches and varsity exhibitions. And she has helped the Spartans to a second-place finish in the KingCo standings ahead of the conference tournament, which Skyline hosts May 11-13. Brazier went 6-2 in her conference matches. She credits her coaches and her mother Sabile for helping her get better. “She doesn’t play a lot, but she is very experienced,” Brazier said of her mom. The Spartans’ doubles teams were maybe the biggest reason for the team victory over Issaquah, and the No. 2 duo of Kendall Brown and Allison Kim came up with a pivotal result by rallying to defeat Jessica Zhu and Colleen Ball in the three sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-2). Skyline’s No. 1 team of Julia Lioubarski and Jasmine Ye earned a 6-4, 6-3 win over Inyoung You and Emma Gavin, while the No.

The Issaquah High School soccer team trudges out to congratulate Redmond after its season-ending 2-1 loss May 7 at Gary Moore Stadium. best chance coming on a Mikey Callan shot that produced a diving save from Agazi Birkner. Redmond’s strong play was rewarded in the 38th minute when midfielder Pablo Gallo Arias launched a 25-yard shot through traffic. Issaquah goalkeeper Connor Hansen may not have seen the ball, as he stayed rooted to his spot, and the ball found the left-side netting. Issaquah stayed true to its stayat-home strategy for much of the second half, and tied the score in the 69th minute following several near misses. The ball found its way through the penalty area, and Keller pounced on it to score from a few yards out. “Don’t try and change too much — fighting for a goal, we don’t want to give up anything in the back,” Tatro said of Issaquah’s tactics. “It wasn’t until the last two minutes and stoppage that I decided to go three (forwards), because once you do that, it throws everything else off. “I find it’s just better to stick with what you’ve got and continue to press, and become a little more focused on going forward and being
more direct.” After conceding, it didn’t take long for Redmond to go back in front. Gallo Arias played a give-and-go with Suzuki, who ran behind a defender down the left side of the box and beat Dylan Dearinger with a low drive to the near post. “Once (Issaquah) got that goal, I was confident we could get one, but I was a little concerned,” Bunnell said. Less than 10 minutes later, it was over, with the Mustangs screaming in triumph and the Eagles walking off the field dejectedly. Redmond avenged previous playoff losses to Issaquah in 2012 and 2013. “It was a monkey off our back,” Bunnell said, “and it was satisfying.” Thirteen seniors played their final games in an Issaquah uniform, including Connor Hughes, an NCAA Division II signee at Cedarville University in Ohio. Tatro said they will be missed. “They’re all great guys, first and foremost,” Tatro said. “They’re all going to great colleges. They’re all majoring in crazy stuff that’s way above my head. They’re all smart.”
3 team of Hannah Andres and Annie Xia knocked off Kimmy Lum and Nathalie Aps (6-2, 6-1). The Eagles controlled singles play, with No. 2 player Ellen MacNary overcoming a slow start to defeat Sherry Huang (1-6, 6-1, 6-2), and No. 4 player Carly Ruggles winning against Meghana Shashi (6-3, 6-4). The match of the afternoon, however, turned out to be the No. 1 singles battle between Skyline’s Kelsey Zhong and Issaquah’s Lucy Huffman. Zhong set the tone early, breaking Huffman’s serve in the first game and cruising to a 6-0 first-set win. After such a poor start, some players might have given up, but the senior Huffman only dug in deeper. She took the first four games of the second set, and after having her serve broken, came right back to win the next two games and win 6-1, sending the match to a third set. Both players played patiently and kept each other pinned to the baseline, but it was Huffman who outlasted Zhong, 6-3, finally emerging victorious when Zhong couldn’t keep an overhead smash in play. The result was particularly satisfying for Huffman since she’s been out most of the season with an injured rotator cuff on her dominant right shoulder. “It means a lot to me that I was able to come out and do this today,” Huffman said. “I can’t believe I could end my season this way, and I’m so proud of not only myself, but what the team has done with me on the sideline.” Huffman’s conditioning wasn’t up to par, but she managed to fight through many long points. She also spent a lot of time talking with coach Gary Kiyonaga during breaks. “You don’t want to get too anxious, because that’s when you tighten up and everything,” she said of the advice she received. “So I just kind of had to let that go. I ran around a lot today. It was painful. I don’t know how I’m still standing.” lone undefeated girls team in the state with an overall 12-0-0 record while sporting a perfect 5-0-0 season in conference play.
