City may change marijuana shop buffer zones By Scott Stoddard sstoddard@isspress.com The general manager of Issaquah’s first retail marijuana outlet wants the city to ease its restrictions on where pot shops can be located. Clifford Gehrett of Issaquah Cannabis Company spoke to the City Council during audience comments May 16 and asked for a reduction in the city-mandated buffer of 1,000 feet between retail marijuana shops
and certain entities. Gehrett asked the councilmembers to reduce the buffer to 100 feet, which is the state minimum. According to City of Issaquah documents, the administration would like to “maintain 1,000-foot buffer from all uses and other marijuana retail stores.” Those uses include schools, recreation centers, parks, playgrounds, libraries, transit centers, daycares, game arcades, according to city land use code. However, the city’s Planning
Committee hears complaints about East Sunset Way makeover plan
Policy Commission has different recommendations. 4The commission would keep the 1,000-foot buffer between retail marijuana shops and schools and playgrounds. 4It would reduce the buffer to 500 feet for recreation centers, daycares, parks, libraries and game arcades. 4It would reduce the buffer to 100 feet for transit centers. During the May 16 council meeting, Councilwoman Mary Lou Pauly
said the Land and Shore Committee, which she chairs, will take up any changes to city code regarding retail marijuana at its next meeting, which is scheduled for June 2 in the council chambers at City Hall South, 135 E. Sunset Way. Retail marijuana shops are banned in Sammamish, Newcastle and Snoqualmie, but Gehrett cited increased competition from new retailers in Bellevue, Redmond and Renton. He did not mention Issaquah’s second retail marijuana
license, which was awarded to a company, Green Grotto, owned by his father. Gehrett said the shop he manages, which is located at 230 NE Juniper St., has generated $2.5 million in cannabis tax revenue and about $1 million in sales tax revenue since opening on Jan. 30, 2015. In the 15 months since its opening, Issaquah Cannabis Company See BUFFER, Page A2
HISTORY ON DISPLAY AT PICKERING BARN
By April Chan For The Issaquah Press Traffic congestion is a problem on East Sunset Way and in adjacent Olde Town, but a proposed $10.6 million project that would install a middle turn lane along with a multi-use trail for non-motorized use on the stretch of the busy corridor between First and Sixth avenues is not the way to fix it. This was the message 14 citizens brought to city officials’ attention last Thursday during a meeting of the City Council’s Infrastructure Committee, which was reviewing this project, along with eight additional improvements recommended by the citizen traffic task force created by Mayor Fred Butler last year. City Public Works Engineering Director Sheldon Lynne said the thoroughfare serves roughly 14,600 vehicles per day and that in addition to providing benefits to pedestrians and bicyclists, the road needs work to update substandard sidewalks which pose a safety issue for pedestrians. The middle turn lane would alleviate some of the backups that interrupt traffic flow, he said. Councilman Paul Winterstein, himself a cyclist, lauded the generous space allotted the multi-use trail for non-motorized users, explaining it was driven by the desire to provide a safe space for walkers and bicyclists to get out of their vehicles as outlined by the city’s Walk-n-Roll plan. There were no voiced objections to the proposed road upgrades, but the turn lane and multi-use trail would come at a cost: all street parking along that stretch would be eliminated. Citizens were concerned about that effect on local businesses, residents on the street and neighboring streets, as demand for parking spills over.

Worker who died at Atlas site identified By Scott Stoddard sstoddard@isspress.com The construction worker who died in a fall at the Atlas apartments construction site May 16 in Issaquah has been identified as 46-year-old Philip J. Rumsey. Rumsey died of multiple blunt force injuries, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. Rumsey’s hometown was Meridian, Idaho, but he was living temporarily in Gig Harbor. His survivors include a wife and three children. Rumsey was working on the 344-unit project’s brick façade at the time, according to a representative of Seattle’s Andersen Construction, which is overseeing the project. Rumsey worked for a
subcontractor, Fairweather Masonry of Bellevue. “He was working on some elevated scaffolding,” Deputy Chief Richard Burke of Eastside Fire & Rescue said May 16. “Part of the investigation is finding out why he fell.” The state Department of Labor and Industries, the medical examiner’s office and the Issaquah Police Department were at the site Monday as part of the investigation, Burke said. The Department of Labor and Industries is leading the investigation, a source familiar with the situation said. Tim Church, a Labor and Industries spokesman, told The Seattle Times investigations of this type can cake up to six months. He said 58 people in Washington died in
“traumatic work-related” incidents in 2015. They are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the state, he told the Times. Fairweather Masonry has established a Philip Rumsey Memorial Fund at gofundme. com/p-rumseymemorial “to help with funeral expenses and to help his family longterm.” Rumsey’s employer added: “Phil was the consummate professional and a great man and employee. He was loved and respected by all he came into contact with. He will be greatly missed by his friends and extended family at Fairweather.”
Philip J. Rumsey, 46, was a masonry worker at the Atlas apartments construction site on Northwest Gilman Boulevard.

Street and said she is sometimes afraid to walk across the street to her mailbox. Taking away parking on Sunset Way would exacerbate that effect. “You can pretend these issues don’t exist in our neighborhood, but they do, and they won’t go away just by ignoring it,” she said. Winterstein, along with Council members Stacy Goodman and Bill Ramos, make up the Infrastructure Committee. They assured citizens they were not yet endorsing this – or any project in the current form that was recommended by the traffic task force – and that much more work as well as opportunity for public input is forthcoming in the next few weeks, with the ultimate goal of bringing a property tax levy issue to potentially help fund all nine projects totaling $71.6 million to voters in this November’s ballot. Real estate attorney Sam Rodabough, who counts Flintoft’s Funeral Home among his clients, pointed out that the Sunset Way project does not necessarily need to be a part of the final levy question brought to voters. “This is a project that could easily be pulled from that as it’s clear there needs to be more time and deliberation and more thought into the plan,” he said. “And the concern is in establishing an expectation in the mind of voters.” Asked how much the current design for the Sunset Way project was tied to the
$10.6 million cost estimate, Lynne said the project was hardscape, so the estimate was reliable. However, the design remains a concept not set in stone. “These are constructs we put together so we could put some dollar tags to what the project may cost,” he said. A balance would need to be struck between the ultimate goals of improved non-motorized use, vehicle mobility and safety, Lynne said.“It’d all have to be digested – discussed and digested – during the design process, to come up with the best alternative for the community,” he said. The Issaquah School District is helping that process move along, according to Winterstein, by footing the bill for light signals to be installed at the Second Avenue intersection. The full City Council will host a public hearing during its regular June 6 council meeting for citizens who have further input on this, or any of the nine project recommendations. The city expects to have a final package for voter consideration finalized by mid-July and has until Aug. 2 to file an election item with King County for inclusion in the November general election. The June 6 meeting starts at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall South. Read the full report completed by the task force, including details on all nine recommended projects, at bit.ly/25chb1S.

I
hope you’ll take a bit of time today and look through the profiles in our Lest We Forget section. What began as a four-page effort in 2010 has grown to 12 pages featuring approximately 300 local veterans. Particularly poignant are the profiles of those who lost their lives in service to our country. For the first time since that inaugural 2010 effort, we’ve updated some of the information in those profiles, adding details we’ve learned through poring over wartime editions of The Issaquah Press and various websites online. We still have conflicting or incomplete information for some of the 19 local servicemen and servicewomen who died during wartime. If you have information to share, we’d like to know about it. You can send de-
tails to us here at the newspaper via email at editor@ isspress.com. During World War II, civic groups sponsored Issaquah Press subscriptions SCOTT STODDARD for roughly 200 local Press editor members of the armed forces who were deployed around the globe.

TO THE EDITOR Preservation
It’s doubtful those churchgoers were tithing for a subdivision
As an alumni of Trinity Lutheran College, I have been following the articles with interest regarding the fate of the Providence Heights chapel. From the outside, it may appear to be an outdated structure; however, from the inside, one can experience peace in this sanctuary. During my student days, daily chapel was one of my favorite moments in the real-life fervor of academic learning, working for sustenance and mothering teens. One time, I was a presenter for chapel service and re-enacted the miraculous healing of the blind man. This was not in the script, but the timing was perfect for the angle of the sun filtering through the stained glass and was an awesome representation of the man’s first glimpse of our Lord. Can you put a price tag on this experience or ever re-create it? The main concern is the apparent conflict of interest that I perceive from the April 21, 2016, news report. It makes one wonder if George Reece’s position as a church officer with access to finances of The City Church while also the managing partner of Brixton Homes. The greater consideration should be toward those who inadvertently subsidized this project. I highly doubt all those donors who gave in good faith intended their dollars to fund another housing development.

Traffic
Forget the speed cameras and fix the gridlock It is painfully evident the city is not terribly interested in alleviating the daily jams in most of central Issaquah. The traffic projects generally tend toward obstruction and impediment. Take, for example, the recent Issaquah Press article extolling the virtues of the proposed traffic cameras. Most of the article talked about how these cameras would bring in so much revenue
that the city would have to hire more people just to keep track of it all. Somewhere late in the article it mentioned that the cameras might even cause some people to slow down. Marvelous. Right now, we have a rolling blockade of 25 mph on Newport Way during most of the day. We can’t have cars doing 35 mph while all the kids are studying in their classrooms or playing inside the fenced in playgrounds. Really? I can see having a slow speed when school is out and kids are leaving, but to do a blanket slow speed when not one single kid is visible is ludicrous. One major thoroughfare through Issaquah, completely log-jammed. Now we want to put up some cameras to make the damage complete. We have dropped the speed limit on the entire western portion of Newport because of a tragic fatal accident where it wasn’t even established that speed was the cause. Perhaps a crossing at a safer location could have been proposed. But rather than craft a well-thought-out plan, the town council had to “do something” because people were outraged. So at this point, a major arterial that could bypass Front Street has been reduced to a crawl. Front Street is a disaster. The creeping commute now manages to gridlock most of the town in the late afternoon. The addition of the new apartments will add to this mess, and the mitigation is to pop in a traffic light and call it good. We have a main street through town that any flag-waving pedestrian can bring to a halt, not that this has any impact, because nobody is moving anyway. If you need to pull out from a side street, you need to rely on the human decency of a fuming driver who has sat in gridlock for the past 15 to 20 minutes and is doing their best to ignore you. In the editor’s column about the lack of traffic vision, there was a suggestion to make Front Street one way and use Second or Third avenues as a paired arterial in the opposite direction. I suggested this to the mayor many years ago, and he told me that this had been suggested many years before. He said that there was neighborhood opposition and it wouldn’t
be possible. So here we are. One day, those neighbors won’t be able to pull out of their neighborhoods because Issaquah is completely gridlocked. Then what will be the plan? My guess is we will get some more traffic cameras.

Education
Numerous benefits to starting school later in day I attended the recent information meeting for later start times at Briarwood Elementary School. The meeting was well attended. I was excited to hear Superintendent Thiele’s understanding and commitment to start times that are healthier for students residing in the Issaquah School District. At the meeting, we learned that all districts around Issaquah are either changing to later start times or are reviewing their current start times. Most students in middle and high school report getting less than the recommended hours of sleep per night. This is a big concern when it comes to a student’s mental and physical health. Dr. Theile’s proposal will increase the amount of sleep for the district’s teens by delaying start times for middle and high schools by 35 minutes. Elementary schools will start after 9 a.m. It is important to understand that even 35 minutes can have a big impact on a student’s life. Studies show that with the small adjustment of 35 minutes, students get more sleep and are less tired. Wellrested kids make better decisions for themselves and have better reaction times. They are less likely to be involved in collisions. Earlier this year, many families were concerned about after school activities with later start times. This moderate adjustment will not impact most after school programs. There will be two more sessions before the current school year ends. I encourage all families to attend to learn the benefits of the new start times.

RECIPE BOX
Cardamom adds a layer of flavor to strawberry rhubarb cake
O
ur local Northwest strawberry and rhubarb seasons are right around the corner, and when they arrive you can bet this cake will be the first thing we make. Simple and unfussy, it combines buttery, crumbly cake with the delicious flavors of sweet berries and tangy rhubarb. CardaMARIA mom spice adds a layer of dimension and depth to these flavors NELSON that truly are exceptional. Most baked good recipes in our house benefit from the liberal and frequent application of cardamom. I blame this happenstance purely due to the fact that I was raised in a Scandinavian household and my love for the spice was nurtured from my early years. It was used almost as much, if not more frequently, than cinnamon in most of our baked good recipes and still remains one of my family’s favorite. If you happen to have whole cardamom seeds in your pantry, do go to the trouble of crushing them in a mortar and pestle or grinding them fresh if you can. I know it seems a trivial, nit-picky thing, but freshly ground cardamom is really exceptional and makes this cake so very delicious. The spice’s aromatic, earthy yet slightly astringent aroma is a perfect foil for the sweet and tart fruit. While this makes a delicious dessert anytime, we’ve been known to eat it for breakfast, served slightly warm with eggs and fruit on the side. Be sure to be on the lookout for local Northwest berries and rhubarb this spring and summer. The Issaquah Farmers Market is a good place to start (around mid-June for strawberries), and if you’ve not had the pleasure of trying our local berries yet you should absolutely make a point of doing so. This cake provides a perfect place to start.

BUDDY BLAND By Namrata Chintalapati Issaquah High School From coaching football and teaching physical education to managing iVision at IHS, Buddy Bland is possibly the busiest man around. Question: What is your role as advisor of iVision? Answer: “I offer advice and guidance in video production and broadcasting. I also feel that it is important to help students to develop life and work skills such as perseverance, hard work and working for perfection [without] accepting mediocrity.” Q: What makes iVision unique? A: “For 10 minutes a day, we take standard announcements that are generated by students, staff and parents, and share them utilizing a news broadcast format. The students create news packages from scratch that meet our mission statement.” Q: What are some of your goals for iVision? A: “I want the students to learn the skills necessary to effectively plan and write and video packages and shoot these stories with creative camera angles and movement.” An incredible amount of time and energy goes into creating a single episode of iVision, and Mr. Bland makes creative students’ visions come to life.
Does the media have a positive effect on society? YES By Eddy Zhu

Issaquah High School
n today’s day and age, mainstream media is treated like the new boogeyman. “It’s all tasteless garbage” they’ll shout from the rafters, “everyone has hidden agendas!” They’ll cynically hiss, and of course, my favorite, “Mainstream media is corrupting the youth!” Corrupting the youth? That’s a little extreme don’t you think? Sure, much of today’s pop culture driven media is mindless drivel, but much of it is informative, interesting, and unafraid to challenge social norms. Kids these days have the world at their fingertips. They can find out what is happening at the opposite end of the earth in an instant. Think of the different cultural
perspectives, worldviews and progressive ideas they’re exposed to. Not to mention, media serves as an outlet for all kinds of creative, unique people, who are able to broadcast their thoughts and ideas to a wider audience than ever before. Think of all the brilliant, thought provoking movies and TV shows out there that wouldn’t be possible without today’s mainstream media. And yes, there is some bad stuff out there, but kids should also be given more credit. We’re not going to join the Hitler Youth at the snap of a finger just because Fox News told us to. It’s almost like we’re able to, get ready for this, formulate our own opinions by using good judgment. So let’s stop blaming mainstream media for everything wrong in today’s society, and instead cherish it for being a bastion of progress and communication.

ainstream media has become a pivotal aspect of our lives. It reports on everything from the latest news in the sports industry to the most recent updates in the presidential campaign. People often say that the media is a positive influence on us. It helps us to “stay informed.” That is true, it does help us stay informed, but it also does a lot more — a lot more negative. Because of the way news is reported, today’s youth are exposed more to the negative aspects that are happening around the world than the positive ones. In recent time, going on the front page of CNN will always yield violent world events rather than constructive ones. The American
Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has shown that youth who see violence in the news, believe that violence is a normal part of life and it is OK to imitate that violence. In addition, today’s media has a focus on reporting on events that are happening in other first-world countries. When terroristS attacked Paris and Brussels, the media covered those events for weeks. But when a factory collapses in Bangladesh, killing 1,100 people, the news covers it for far less time and fewer people are aware. The media often only reports on topics that we are able to relate to making our generation oblivious to the atrocities — and boons — that happen in other second and third world countries. All in all, the media tends to focus its attention on negative events that happen around the world and often times fail to report on events that are harder for us to relate to. Due to these

The ‘Dab Fad’ turned into controversy
Are style trends inhibiting creativity?
By Matthew Duff Issaquah High School

By Megan So Liberty High School
Groovy. Awesome. Radical. Tight. Lit. All of these terms communicate essentially the same thing, although they vary in their era of origin. Language is not static; popular phrases constantly phase in and out of style. Many language fads are briefly in vogue but eventually fall to linguistic obscurity. A select few withstand the test of time and become integrated into longstanding — or even intergenerational —vernacular. Youth are constantly riding a wave of idiosyncratic, trendy phrases. Lit, low key, 10/10, would recommend and savage are today what groovy and nifty were to generations past. Yet are these linguistic peculiarities debasing or refining language? On the one hand, slang is a gross simplification of the sophisticated properties of language. But in their own way, fad phrases take on unique and subtle connotations, effectively carving their own linguistic niche. “Lol,” increasingly pronounced as a one-syllable word as opposed to an acronym, does not merely mean something is funny; it is typically used with a touch of cynicism, similar to the laughing-crying emoji on smart phones. “Savage” is not a direct equivalent of the word “cool;” it usually implies an edge of daring or perhaps brutality, a gutsiness or bravado about a person. In this way, linguistic fads take on life of their own. In most cases, language moves on to new experimental expressions, and formerly cuttingedge phrases fall into disuse (consider yesteryear’s “ratchet”). Every generation, however, kneads and shapes language in its own way and has a chance to leave a lasting mark on the English dictionary.
Whip/Nae Nae and the Dab are the latest dance crazes of 2015 and 2016, bringing instant admiration to any soul talented enough to master these moves. These dance moves have generated controversy as to their origins — most notably, the Dab, which happens to be one of the easiest dances to master. According to Rolling Stone, the Dab was initially observed in Atlanta rapper Skippa da Flippa’s 2014 video for the song “How Fast Can You Count It,” leading to a massive influx of vines copying the move. But American rapper Bow Wow postulated that the origins of the popular dance move had something to do with cannabis dabbers. He explained that the commonly used terminology of “dabbing” to represent the carefree dance move is also associated with the act of smoking concentrated marijuana oil. There’s also been further speculation that the dance move originated from another form of “dabbing,” in which cocaine users snort cocaine from their elbow, but casually pretend they’re simply sneezing. By May 22, 2015, YouTuber T-Jay Hayes had already released one of the earliest tutorial videos, garnering more than 2.3 million views in the first years. Vines of people dabbing filled the Internet. Hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Future and Rich the Kid began dabbing both during live performances and music videos. Professional athletes joined in on the fun. So regardless where dabbing arose from, it is undoubtedly the prevalence of YouTube and vines that have led to the rapid spread of the Dab, showing us just how powerful the internet is in influencing popular society.
From the runway to magazine pages to Instagram posts to your school’s hallways, chances are you will have many encounters with style trends. It’s not unusual to walk down the hall and see many girls wearing multiple brands’ variations of the T-shirt dress. Last year, Birkenstocks seemed to be on everyone›s feet. At least one girl in each class has ombré hair. The trends never end and almost seem to be replaced as quickly as the next smartphone. As social media grows, more and more people have access to the latest fads. It’s not unusual to see several students sporting Adidas Superstars or Nike Roshes — things that are often featured in “Outfit of the Day” Instagram posts. Most teens have been in a Forever21 or an American Eagle, and many more will buy into whatever trends are cycling through the media next. I’m no fashion expert, but it doesn’t take one to see just how significant style trends can be to high schoolers. But are they positive or negative influencers? One Liberty student wore a traditional Indian dress to prom. Another explained to me that her dress was actually a black t-shirt and a tulle maxi skirt. There’s nothing wrong with the usual sparkly dress, but don’t feel constrained from wearing something different. It’s fine to wear something you like whether it’s part of a trend or not. But don’t let trends make you feel like you can’t wear anything else. As long as you like it, wear it with confidence. You might even start a new trend.

“I really like the dabbing trend that is all over the U.S. nowadays, because no matter where you are, you always have people cheering when you dab.”
“I don’t feel strongly about a particular trend, but ... things like the running man challenge and dabbing allow people to be a part of something and in turn I believe it builds a stronger sense of community.”
“I honestly can’t stand when people say things like ‘fam’ or ‘lit.’ There’s nothing really wrong with it, it just drives me insane.”
“I think all the dance trends like Whip and Nae Nae are really funny and people are having a lot of fun with them.”
“The recent popularization of Birkenstocks is one of my least favorite fads. In my opinion, they’re overpriced and ugly.”
“I love the newly popularized words ‘fam’, ‘suh’ and ‘lit,’ because they satirize themselves. They’re ready-made comedy, no effort required.”

Skyline tennis wins KingCo tourney championship By Neil Pierson npierson@isspress.com The Skyline girls tennis team wrapped up the Class 4A KingCo Conference tournament title on May 18 and is sending two players to this weekend’s state tourney in Richland. The doubles team of Kelsey Zhong and Reanne Lee won the KingCo title and clinched the conference’s only automatic berth to state with a 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory against teammates Ali Brazier and Kendall Brown. Brazier and Brown wound up with the No. 3 seed to a May 21 crossover match in Vancouver. There, they lost to Union’s Sydney Wallace and Mackenzie Schreiner (7-5, 6-1) to end their season. In singles play, Skyline freshman Dora Varsa had an early lead but lost the KingCo championship match to Newport’s Teagan Mach
(2-6, 6-3, 6-3). Varsa and teammate Julia Lioubarski played for state berths in Vancouver as KingCo’s No. 2 and 3 seeds. Lioubarski earned her spot with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Redmond’s Marin Bando. At the crossover matches, Varsa lost a 6-1, 6-1 decision to Hannah Gianan of Camas, while Lioubarski’s final match for the Spartans ended in a 6-1, 6-1 loss to Mountain View’s Amila Gogalija. Fresh off their KingCo regularseason title, the Spartans roughed up opposition at the conference tourney. They went a combined 15-6 in singles and doubles play, with three of the defeats occurring against teammates. In the May 17 semifinals, Skyline’s Ali Brazier and Kendall Brown clobbered Newport’s Sonia Scallon and Jenna Hill (6-0, 6-2) while top-seeded Kelsey Zhong and Reanne Lee won the final four
games to avoid a third set against Eastlake’s Nicole Yen and Kayla Lee (6-2, 7-5). Brown and Brazier have been playing together all season and were sharp in the semifinals, keeping Newport under pressure and avoiding unforced errors. “We really worked on our communication this season, calling balls that we couldn’t get and we needed our partner to get,” Brown said. A singles player last season, Brazier has found her niche in doubles, where she’s able to express emotions in different ways. She constantly shouted words of encouragement as she and Brown dismantled Newport’s duo. “I’ve worked with my anger and I feel like that’s kind of how I take it out, is vocally, and that keeps my confidence up,” Brazier said. The singles semifinals featured two very different matches. Topseeded Teagan Mach of Newport
cruised past Redmond’s Marin Bando (6-4, 6-0), but Skyline’s top two players, Lioubarski and Varsa, were on the court for nearly three hours. Lioubarski and Varsa exchanged blistering forehand returns, accurate serving and some long rallies in a clash that needed a third-set tiebreaker. Both players earned match points but Varsa finally closed out Lioubarski with a score of 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (10-8). The girls are evenly matched, Varsa said, and the intensity was ratcheted up in a high-stakes environment. “Most of my serves were really good and I think I moved well on the court, which got me a lot of points,” she said. “(Lioubarski) hits with a lot of spin and you can’t really give it to her. If you hit right to her she will put it away, so I had to always keep in mind to move her.”

Skyline sophomore shortstop Taylor Juenke makes a solid defensive play from her knees and throws out Woodinville’s Erin McGrath during the fifth inning of the May 18 KingCo Conference fastpitch title game.
Self-confidence carries Spartans to fastpitch title, 4A state berth By Neil Pierson npierson@isspress.com “Worst to first” was a popular hashtag on Twitter for Skyline fastpitch players following their victory in the May 18 championship game of the Class 4A KingCo Conference tournament. Last season, the Spartans finished last in the nine-team conference, the lone team to miss the playoffs. But they completed a startling turnaround under first-year coach Lindsay Sullivan as they held off the Woodinville Falcons, 3-2, in the tournament title game at Inglemoor High School in Kenmore. Sullivan, who knocked off her alma mater, has said all season her players had the physical tools to win but needed to develop a positive mindset. “It showed tonight,” she said. “It showed their capabilities, especially playing a great team like Woodinville. We jump on top, stay on top the whole way through.” Skyline’s veteran players said Sullivan has found ways to connect with them. “She sends a lot of inspirational quotes to us,” said first baseman Annika Hildebrand, the team’s lone senior. “Once a night,” added junior pitcher Caroline Bowman, who struck out 12 hitters in a complete-game performance. Skyline (17-5) is headed to the state tournament, May 27-28 in Spokane, for the first time since 2004. Though none of the current players have been there, Sullivan experienced the high-pressure environment during her playing days at Woodinville.
4Issaquah sent two singles players and two doubles teams to the KingCo tournament, but no one advanced past the quarterfinals. Senior Ellen MacNary, the No. 4 seed, was a 6-0, 6-0 winner in her opening match with Inglemoor’s Sarvani Mandapati. She faced Bando – whom she beat during the regular season – in the quarterfinals and lost (6-3, 6-2). Issaquah’s Carly Ruggles, the No. 6 seed, lost her first match to unseeded Rena Song of Newport (7-6, 7-5). In doubles play, Inyoung You and Jessica Zhu reached the final eight with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Eastlake’s Kaitlyn Lee and Divya Parimi. But their season ended against Newport’s Scallon and Hill (6-2, 6-3). Issaquah’s Kimmy Lum and Nathalie Aps won a pigtail match in three sets to reach the round of 16 but fell to fourth-seeded Sally Kim and Rachel Ye of Newport (6-0, 6-1).

RBI single and Taylor Juenke had an RBI double. Both teams had critical defensive plays as the Falcons gunned down Lo at the plate to end the fourth and left fielder Katie Kelly robbed Shayna Swanson of a homer in the fifth. The Spartans returned the favor in the sixth after Rhinehart’s leadoff double. Mikaelie Sullivan hit a routine ground ball to second base and Rhinehart didn’t stop at third. An alert Hildebrand fired home and catcher Maddie Peters made the tag for a double play. “I had no idea she was going,” Hildebrand said. “I just kind of turned to check her at third and I saw that she
Opponents who hope to contain Skyline’s talented attack know they’ll have to make the Spartans uncomfortable by playing physically and fearlessly. The Bellarmine Prep Lions did that for long stretches of a Class 4A first-round boys soccer state playoff matchup. But the Spartans had two moments of brilliance that saw them through to the next round. Mason Prendergast opened the scoring in the first half and Fed Rubiolo produced the game-winner in the second half as Skyline held on for a 2-1 victory on May 17 in Sammamish. But the Spartans’ search for their first 4A semifinal berth since 2011 ended May 21 against two-time defending champion Snohomish. The Panthers scored in the 77th minute to nullify Matthew Richardson’s first-half goal and, after 10 scoreless minutes of overtime, won 5-4 on penalty kicks. Against Bellarmine Prep, the Spartans held a two-goal lead until the final moments of regulation when a breakdown along the back line allowed Lions senior forward Jordan Williams to get free. A wide-open Williams finished calmly past goalkeeper Lucas Richardson, making the three minutes of stoppage time harrowing, but the Spartans survived and reached the round of eight for the fifth time in coach Don Braman’s tenure. Skyline’s players were quick to praise Narrows League champion Bellarmine (14-2-1) for providing a tough test. “They knew how to possess the ball, and they were also able to just play it up top and they were a really good postup team,” said Prendergast, a senior forward. “We had a little bit of trouble with it in the first half. We couldn’t really find our rhythm. Once we started to string passes together, we really started to connect as a team and we started to dismantle them all over the field.” The Lions started the game brightly with a few half-chances in the first 15 minutes. The Spartans settled in after that and began putting playmaker Luis Miller into good positions. In the 29th minute, Miller made the Lions pay for giving him a sliver of space. He crossed the ball from the right side

Skyline players cheer for sophomore shortstop Taylor Juenke (6) during team introductions prior to the May 18 KingCo Conference championship game against Woodinville. The coach believed her girls have what it takes to succeed there. Three KingCo 4A programs – Woodinville, Inglemoor and Eastlake – have won state titles since 2004. “KingCo is probably one of the tougher districts in the state,” Sullivan said. “It sets you up for state and you can go far with it, especially with the mentality that they have and now their bats are finally clicking all together.” The second-seeded Spartans used some early offensive fireworks to put pressure on the top-seeded Falcons (18-4). Lauren Lo, the second batter of the game, drilled a Lauryn Rhinehart pitch over the fence in left field, giving Skyline a 1-0 lead. The margin grew to 3-0 after four innings as Lo had an

Thank you! On May 14th, our community took to the track at Issaquah High School for the 2016 Relay For Life of Issaquah. For 20 hours, we celebrated cancer survivors, remembered those no longer with us and fought back against cancer. This year’s Relay For Life was again an outstanding event, made possible by everyone involved. We are grateful for the support we have received this year, and would like to send a huge “Thank you” to: The volunteers who spent the year organizing the event; the 95 team captains and 916 participants who raised over $209,000 during the Relay season; our day of event volunteers who helped set up and prepare; our guest speakers who shared their stories at our ceremonies; and our sponsors and community businesses that made generous donations. Most importantly, we want to recognize the individuals who demonstrated determination and passion for life as they walked the first lap dedicated for cancer survivors and their caregivers. Thank you to those who chose to recognize loved ones by dedicating a Luminaria in their name for the evening ceremony. Together, everyone who attended this year’s Relay was a great example of why we fight back to support the American Cancer Society’s efforts to create a world with more birthdays.
was going, so I got rid of it. It worked out.” “They had great transfers, they moved their feet and they had perfect throws, and that’s what it takes to get that double play,” Sullivan added. Regular-season champion Woodinville wasn’t about to go quietly. Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, the Falcons got a leadoff single from Paige Grover. With two outs, Erin McGrath hit a hard ground ball past Hildebrand – a ball the first baseman felt she should’ve had – and that narrowed the lead to one.

of the penalty area to Prendergast, who finished a 5-yard header past Bellarmine keeper Sean Carlin. “It’s all on Luis – he served in a great ball and it makes it really easy for me as a striker just to be able to put that away,” Prendergast said. “But it’s stuff that we’ve been working on this whole week in training and we’re just really thankful that it paid off.” Bellarmine finished the first half with a 6-5 edge in shots and forced Skyline’s back four to be wary with a one-goal lead. But the Spartans doubled their lead in the 58th minute when Ty Good bent a left-footed corner kick to Rubiolo, a senior who has
produced several goals this season from his left back position. Braman told the Spartans before the game that Carlin tended to cheat to the near post and leave the back side open on corners, Rubiolo said. “He just kind of put me up there because he knows I can win the headers,” he said. “I was completely unmarked and … it was just a pretty simple header (to the) back post. “I’ve always been a very offensive outside back. I’ve played all over the place in my career but every time I get the chance, I like to get up the field. I like to contribute to the attack. It has always been my style.”
The Liberty Patriots, seeking a second consecutive trip to the Class 2A baseball final four, fell one win short of their goal when they lost, 5-1, to Cedarcrest on May 21 at Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma. Liberty (13-12) reached the quarterfinal contest with a 2-0 victory earlier that day against East Valley of Spokane. Torey Anderson led the Patriots to the win, pitching 6 2/3 innings of four-hit ball. He walked one and struck out 10. The Patriots scraped together single runs in the fourth and sixth innings against the Knights. Liberty managed only three hits in the game, but two of them were triples from Riley Wingerson and Kai Alberghini. The 2A semifinals take place at Yakima County Stadium on May 27, with Ellensburg and Selah playing at 10 a.m. and Fife facing Cedarcrest at 1 p.m. The winners play in the championship game at 4 p.m. May 28.

But Bowman stayed composed and struck out Taylor Rhinehart on a high fastball to end the game. Bowman held the Falcons to six hits. She threw 122 pitches and didn’t walk anyone despite a strategy centered on working the edges of the strike zone. “I knew what they’d hit before, so I was really working my curve ball,” she said. “I was trying to keep it off the plate with them because I know that they can turn on an inside pitch. I was trying to give them nothing good to hit.”
