Council lowers speed limit on Newport Way Northwest to 30 mph

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Following the recommendation of the city administration, the Issaquah City Council voted Sept. 8 to reduce the speed limit on Newport Way Northwest to 30 mph from 40 mph between state Route 900 and the Lakemont interchange.

The new speed limit takes effect Sept. 22, council clerk Tina Eggers said.

Prior to the 6-1 council vote, residents mostly praised the council and the city administration for considering lowering the limit. But some of that praise was tempered.

Resident Joe Verner said it took the death of a child who was crossing the street with his mother to get the city’s attention.

“Let that sink in for a minute,” Verner added.

Verner was a neighbor of 4-year-old Haochen Xu struck by

Senior center director, board members sued for libel in county court

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Three former members of the Issaquah Valley Senior Center, including two former board members, filed a libel suit Sept.

8 against Courtney Jaren, center executive director, and the board of directors.

Renton attorney Inez Petersen filed the suit Sept. 8 in King County District Court. The suit seeks $100,000 in damages per claimant.

In a phone interview, Petersen alleged the defendants are guilty of defamation so severe there is no question of the wrongdoing.

The allegedly libelous materials include a six-page letter the board sent to center membership in June. For the most part, the letter claimed to refute an Issaquah Press story on the seeming growing unrest at the center.

In the process, the letter alleged various levels of misconduct, up

to and including allegations of elder abuse, by unnamed persons connected to the center.

“This is libel enough; but it is surpassed by your claim that this group ‘bullied a vulnerable senior to death,’” Petersen wrote to the board last month.

That letter asked the board for a public apology for the statements contained in the June board letter. No such apology was forthcoming.

Neither Jaren nor board President Craig Hansen replied to a request for comment left for them at the center. The pair have not responded to multiple requests for comment for this and other stories. Representing Jaren and the board, Seattle attorney David Adler did not return voicemail messages left the week of Sept. 7.

In the past, Adler criticized

a car while attempting to cross the intersection of Newport Way Northwest and Northwest Oakcrest Drive on June 26. He died the next day. Since, residents have shown up in mass at public meetings demanding officials lower the speed limit on Newport Way. Some residents said they have complained about safety issues on the street for years. In 2012, a driver at the same intersection where Haochen was struck hit and killed two dogs belonging to

In 2007, Amy Crawford, a Kirkland corrections officer, was among officers using Issaquah’s indoor police shooting range to train with her weapon and ultimately pass a qualifying test.

By the end of the session, Crawford reported she felt sick, but had no idea why. In the end, three Kirkland officers — including Crawford — and two instructors, all of who had used the Issaquah gun range, were tested for lead poisoning. The results showed lead levels in the blood of the officers and instructors was up to 20 times the average adult level. The likely culprit was use of lead-based ammunition in an enclosed space.

Since, police officials have taken steps to reduce lead levels at the firing range, but possibly not enough. The state department of Labor and Industry hit the city with nine citations related to lead last year.

The city eventually paid fines totaling $2,700.

At an Issaquah City Council committee meeting Sept. 10, Issaquah Police Chief Scott Behrbaum said his department has been working cooperatively with the state department of Labor and Industries to correct any problems with the firing range housed under Issaquah

alluded to a study of crosswalks around the city that’s being done by a private consultant.

Mayor Fred Butler has promised the results of that study will be available by the end of September, so funding for any proposed projects can be included in the 2016 Issaquah budget.

resident Troy Scholzen, who was walking them.

“It’s a small first step,” resident Mary Lynch said of lowering the street’s speed limit, adding she was disappointed the council made no mention of any trafficcalming or enforcement measures.

Council President Paul Winterstein said the council isn’t finished with the street. He talked about coming efforts to make Newport Way Northwest safer for nonmotorized traffic and

City Hall on Sunset Way. Officials made the decision, Behrbaum said, to move toward a lead-free facility.

Police officials estimate renovation costs at $180,000.

According to an agenda bill presented to the council’s Service and Safety Committee, police already have taken numerous corrective measures at the gun range.

Those steps include replacing carpet outside the gun range with tile, for easier cleaning.

Police ordered lead-free ammunition for use at the range and performed additional lead sampling. Officials looked for possible ventilation problems at the range. And one big step was notifying outside agencies Issaquah would not allow use of the range by outside groups after July 1.

“There will be no renting it out,” Behrbaum said of the range.

Outside personnel will be able to use the range only during joint training with Issaquah officers.

Police Cmdr. Bob Porter said gun range renovations were proceeding in phases. Information presented to council committee by police said the work started with the removal of any lead-contaminated materials, See GUN

State won’t rule out further logging on public lands in Issaquah

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com There may or may not be more timber cutting headed to Tiger Mountain and/or other wooded areas in and around Issaquah.

On Aug. 19, the state’s Department of Natural Resources opted to develop a plan to work through what officials labeled a backlog of timber that was not harvested as scheduled from state-owned forests in Western Washington.

At the same time, the board will move ahead with calculating how much timber can be culled from

state-owned forests between 2015 and 2024.

That calculation, as well as the plan for working through the harvest backlog, would be subject to public review under the state’s Environmental Policy Act. In July, a private company harvested 1.6 million board feet of timber from five spots on Tiger Mountain totaling 70 acres, according to Bob Redling, a public information officer for the DNR. Numerous residents called and emailed The Issaquah Press to express their surprise at the sudden clearing.

“I’ve lived here 47 years

and that’s the first time I’ve ever seen any logging,” Tiger Mountain resident Lorie Graff said.

“It was shocking.”

“It now looks disgusting,” resident Mike Shimchick said in an email.

There are no immediate plans for further harvesting on Tiger Mountain, Redling said. Any future state plans would take “months and months” to appear, he added. And while he would not guarantee there would be no further harvesting in the Issaquah area, Redling did say most of the backlog of targeted timber is on the

Olympic Peninsula.

Upon hearing of the prospect of further logging, Shimchick said he hopes the state at least leaves “some sort of greenbelt” around any harvested areas, a buffer between the logged out areas and surrounding homes. He described the already harvested area as appearing “as if a bomb went off.”

“It’s just kind of sad.

That’s my feeling,” Shimchick said.

Though the public will have a chance to comment on any harvesting plans that emerge, Redling said, no public hearing dates have

been set. He said sales can take 18 months or more to plan. With that and other factors in mind, Redling said further harvesting on Tiger Mountain is likely 18 months to two years away.

In explaining the July harvest, Redling said Tiger Mountain State Forest is managed as a working state forest. While many residents assumed the area was a state park, Redling said that is not the case, adding “state forest” doesn’t equal “state park” and all the preservation and protections that latter title implies.

In a press release an-

nouncing the state’s forthcoming plans, the logging backlog was blamed on increased protection for the marbled murrelet and the recent recession. Redling said the murrelet is a shoreline bird and that is one reason much of the backlog is on the Olympic Peninsula.

According to the state, revenue from timber harvests is used to build public schools and universities and support public services in some counties. In 2014, state trust lands of all types, including forest, agricultural and aquatic lands, produced more than $265 million in revenue.

Lawsuit

Center officials banned Waggoner and Poirier from the center via “no trespassing” notices handed out by Issaquah police.

Waggoner was banned for alleged harassment of persons connected with the center, while the notice given Poirier alleged elder abuse.

Wagner resigned from the board in 2012 after what he said were repeated clashes with Jaren and the rest of the board. Even after leaving the board, Wagner served as the center’s bus driver until he resigned from that position this summer.

As of Sept. 14, Jaren and the board had not publicly agreed to stipulations placed on future city funding by Mayor Fred Butler, casting some doubt on whether the City Council would approve an appropriation for the center for 2016.

In a letter to the center leadership dated July 30, Butler stated he had

“ongoing concerns” about the center and said he was placing at least seven conditions on 2016 center funding. Those conditions included a third-party audit of center performance, finances and management.

The city was to gain a nonvoting member of the center board of directors.

Council leadership canceled a Sept. 14 study session on funding for nonprofits. The meeting presumably would have included discussion about money for the center.

In recent years, Issaquah has supplied the center with $99,000 annually. For 2015, that figure represents about 44 percent of the center’s $221,490 budget, according to the city.

Because of community connections with some of those involved in the center controversy, Kathleen Merrill, The Issaquah Press managing editor, was not involved in the preparation or editing of this story.

Petersen’s claims of libel on the basis the June letter from the center contained no names. He argued center leadership had a responsibility to respond to alleged elder abuse, and state law gives persons reporting instances of elder abuse immunity from libel. Petersen argues the lack of names in the June letter makes no difference.

In previous comments and in the recent court filings, Peterson said the public easily could deduce the names of those targeted in the letter from recent happenings at the center as well as from news reports.

Northwest, the council also agreed to an administration proposal to study speed limits on portions of three other streets: East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast and Front Street South.

Arguing the western portion of the street is substantially different than the more residential eastern end, Councilman Joshua Schaer cast the only vote against lowering the Newport Way speed limit.

Schaer noted he is very familiar with the roadway, having lived on the street for many years and still driving it almost daily.

Schaer said he fully supported lowering the limit

east of Southeast 54th Street, saying that stretch of road is characterized by dense residential neighborhoods.

Not so the western end, he argued, where the street is straighter and has driveways only to one side. Still, after he failed to win support from the rest of council, Schaer withdrew his motion to amend the administration’s recommendation.

Councilwoman Mary Lou Pauly initially seconded Schaer’s motion, saying she wanted to hear his comments. She later rescinded that second.

“I feel this is a step in the right direction,” she said of lowering the speed limit.

“These speeds are not going to inconvenience anyone,” Councilwoman Nina Milligan added.

Winterstein said the affected section of street is 2.3 miles. After driving the street, he said the higher 40 mph speed limit reduced travel time by only 69 seconds. Winterstein reiterated the city is not finished looking at traffic safety issues on Newport Way Northwest.

“It’s only the beginning of what has to happen on that road,” he said.

Speed limit decrease is good, but go further

W

e want to applaud our Issaquah City Council members for lowering the speed limit on Newport Way Northwest.

The new speed limit, 30 mph between state Route 900 and the Lakemont interchange, goes into effect Sept. 22.

We also want to congratulate those council members and other city officials who took the time to drive the street, calculating times and speeds, doing their own research rather than relying solely on traffic studies, calculations and recommendations.

But before anyone pats themselves on the backs much, we ask that everyone take a moment to remember the reason for this change — 4 1/2-year-old Haochen Xu, who was hit in the crosswalk at Newport Way Northwest and Northwest Oakcrest Drive on June 26 while walking with his mother. He died from his injuries the next day.

Remember his grieving grandmother being led away from the scene by police, her face one of pure anguish while she wondered about the fate of the little boy who could read and add and subtract pairs of numbers up to 100.

Residents had complained for years about the intersection where he was killed, the same site where a man’s two dogs were hit and killed by a driver who just missed him, but never even stopped. Others have been injured in accidents in the same area.

These costs are too high.

Now is the time for city officials and employees, to take a good, hard look at our fast-growing city. And yes, there is an intersection/crosswalk study under way, but more can be done.

Traffic studies and calculations don’t tell the whole story of anything, be it street, neighborhood or city. Like those council members who actually drove Newport Way Northwest to see what they could (and couldn’t see) and how fast others drive and how long it takes at one speed versus another, we ask that those making the coming growth and development decisions do likewise.

Turning a street (Northwest Maple Street) that people use into a parking lot for a year shouldn’t have been done. And that Atlas development is going to be a huge traffic headache.

Instead of only following studies, we ask that officials follow common sense and do what is right by the people who elected and pay them.

Green River killer gets off easy with prison move

B

efore coming to The Issaquah Press, I spent more than two years covering the case of Green River killer Gary Ridgway, who claimed his victim count was more than 70 young women and teen girls.

(Officials in the case told me it was likely more than 90 and could be more than 100.)

I was the courts reporter for the South County Journal (and later the King County Journal), and I was on the case from the night of Ridgway’s arrest to months after he was sentenced to prison.

The women and girls that Ridgway killed and dumped like trash kept me awake many nights, sometimes in tears, throughout those two years. I wrote hundreds of stories, interviewed as many people as I could, including many family members and friends of the victims, and I read and studied tens of thousands of pages of court documents.

Ridgway’s “confession,” which detailed months he spent with investigators trying to help find bodies he had dumped, is more than 50,000 pages long. And in it, he detailed what he did to those women and girls, as well as the sick and twisted things he wished to do. And he surprised police with the news that he had kept killing long after they thought he had stopped.

I was at a huge press conference when then-King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng swore he would not bargain with the death penalty in the case; I was there during a smaller court hearing when Maleng announced he had indeed changed his mind, since Ridgway had agreed to help lead police to places where he dumped his victims.

I was there in the sentencing hearing, when family members

cried and screamed at Ridgway while media from around the world looked on; and I spent many long hours in hearings in Seattle, where I Kathleen Merrill was sometimes the only media Press managing editor person in the courtroom.

I doubt you can imagine how angry I was to read that Ridgway has been moved to an out-of-state prison to make his life easier. At least that’s what I gather when I read and heard that he was mostly in isolation at the Washington State Penitentiary, but now he’ll be in with the general population in Colorado.

Here, Ridgway was apparently a target of other inmates, so he mostly had to be kept in isolation. Poor thing.

I felt sick when I heard this news.

Those women and girls went through pure hell as he killed them, and then they went through further indignities before he dumped them like trash at the sides of roads and into ravines.

Their families and friends waited and watched and wished for years, even decades, to find out what happened to their loved ones.

To media people who refer to the victims as street prostitutes, you need to learn some sensitivity. (Not all of them were prostitutes, for those of you keeping track.) Those women and girls were daughters and mothers and sisters and friends. They were people, and they deserve respect.

Unfortunately, their killer is now getting far more than they ever did.

H ome C ountry Autumn brings smiles and secrets It takes us over slowly, this thing called autumn. It slides in quietly and lovingly.

One day, we notice we aren’t sweating as much as we did a week ago. Just this morning, we thought wearing a sweater might be a good idea before the sun gets warm enough for us.

There is a secret in the soft breeze that follows us around the yard in the afternoon. A secret.

The same autumn secret some of us have heard whispered for years and others of us are just learning to add to our vocabulary of life.

The heart of a hunter starts sniffing the air, as though we might pick up the scent of a bear or a deer or elk from right here in town. We know it’s foolish, but no one else has to know, do they?

We think about antlers getting polished against whiplike young trees up where the golden leaves are carpeting the world. Maybe this fall … well, maybe.

No one else gets to know these little personal secrets, as we’re afraid to be laughed at.

It’s enough to say we are going hunting for the meat, which is true.

For the exercise, which is true. For the companionship of our Slim oldest friends, Randles which is also true.

But that isn’t the whole story, is it? We know … deep down inside we know … we’re going to the woods again to touch base with our foundings. We again want to see if we’re up to the ages-old task of surviving and thriving in a place where we don’t spend most of our time. It is our turn now to see if we still measure up.

For the kids, it’s going back to school and cheering for the school colors at football games.

For Mom, it’s being able to work at home or at the office without worrying about the kids. Each of us has a little celebration inside

Volunteer fire departments face shortage of equipment Volunteer fire departments in Eastern Washington face a critical shortage of equipment and supplies to protect citizens and property from the ongoing threat of fires and emergencies.

Working with local fire chiefs, the Medic One Foundation has identified a list of critical equipment that fire departments have exhausted during the recent wildfires. Those items include generators, chainsaws, wildfire backpacks, hand tools, headlamps and lights, portable tanks and pumps, and wildfire-retardant gear and clothing.

Partnering with the Medic One Foundation, the Physio Foundation will match donations to the Medic One Foundation Washington Wildfire Fund up to a total of $10,000.

The Physio Foundation was created by Redmondbased emergency medical response company PhysioControl to “support and advance emergency response in underserved communities.”

Make donations to the Washington Wildfire Fund online at mediconefoundation.org, by texting “medic” to 56512 or by calling the Medic One Foundation at 206-744-9425.

The Medic One Foundation is a local nonprofit dedicated to ensuring the quality of our region’s pre-hospital emergency care by funding paramedic training, research and equipment to help first responders save lives.

Jake Jones Jr. looks back upon his 1890’s summer adventures

By Jean Cerar Issaquah History Museums

By Tracy Martin/Village Theatre

Sue hands Dan (Beth DeVries and Hugh Hastings, middle) a goodbye note, unpersuaded by memories of their younger selves, Susie and Danny (Ben Wyant and Mallory King, left) and Susan and Daniel (Tracy McDowell and Jim Deselm), during happier times in Village Theatre’s new musical, ‘Snapshots.’

‘Snapshots’ captures the imagination

By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com Whoever said nothing is ever new anymore should meet the creative minds behind Village Theatre’s debut of the new musical, “Snapshots.”

Technically, the concept isn’t new — a couple whose marriage is on the rocks re-examines their relationship through the memories elicited from photos stashed in the attic.

The twist here is the tale unfolds through the greatest hits of composer Stephen Schwartz. However, even if you’ve heard such modern-day standards as “Popular” from “Wicked” or “Extraordinary” from “Pippin,” you’ve never heard them like this new, refreshing presentation.

First things first, the casting proved to be pure genius with just six actors portraying the same two characters — Sue and Dan — through various stages of their lives.

Beth DeVries brings such a depth of weariness that you feel her pain of no longer wanting the relationship to continue.

Hugh Hastings is perfect as the oblivious husband who doesn’t realize that the same old charms no longer work.

Mallory King and Ben Wynant perfectly capture the youthful exuberance of the young couple while Tracy McDowell and Jim Deselm again perfectly portray the duo as they transition into adults.

Director Daniel Goldstein, who has actually helmed the Broadway production Schwartz musical “Godspell,” coaxes some wonderful performances out of his cast, both hysterically funny and heartachingly poignant. Some of the most memorable performances come from the younger cast members portraying the peripheral characters in the couple’s life. And some of the funniest moments come when

the older couple directly interacts with their memories.

Which leads to a special call out to the scenic designer, David Farley, and even the prop manger, Monique Walker. Most of the setting takes place in an attic. With such a static setting, they’ve managed through projections to portray the snapshots of memories through the years. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a production with so many props that are actually pivotal to the advancing plot.

But what tie this tale together are the songs.

It boggles the mind how writers David Stern and Micheal Scheman interwove such disparate tunes from different eras spanning three decades into an ongoing theme. So even if you’ve never heard one of Schwartz’s songs, you’ll wonder at its familiar sound. And I’ve always been astounded how an actor can successfully pull

The emotions from “Snapshots” will elicit tears of laughter and tears of sorrow. Yes, it gets that poignant at times — that or I’m just getting to be a softy.

Rarely do audiences get the opportunity to watch something new on the stage. “Snapshots” has been a decade in the works since it first appeared in Village Theatre’s Originals workshops. But you’ll enjoy how refreshing it feels with old concepts all made new again.

Sammamish Symphony announces new season The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra will kick off its 24th concert season with a musical romp across the world.

“Expanding Horizons,” the first in the group’s nine-concert lineup, features music crafted in celebration of countries other than the writers’ own homelands.

The program includes George Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” and Malcolm Arnold’s “Four Scottish Dances,” which the orchestra describes as “musical picture-postcards of their composers’ travels.”

Audiences have two chances to catch “Expanding Horizons,” which is

also set to feature a guest appearance by regionally renowned violinist Jae-In Shin.

The first performance is 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center Theatre, followed by a 2 p.m. Oct. 25 show at Eastlake High School.

The season continues 2 p.m. Dec. 5 and 6 with two holiday performances at Eastlake High School.

“Christmas in Sammamish” includes a blend of light holiday classics, seasonal favorites, audience participation and a surprise or two, according to the orchestra’s website.

The Liberty High School Singers, led by conductor

Robin Wood, are also set to appear.

“Energy, Life, Affirmation,” comes to audiences 2 p.m. Feb. 21 at Eastlake and again 2 p.m. Feb. 27 at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center Theatre.

This concert will display “the virtuosity of the Sammamish Symphony in compositions from three different centuries.”

Sammamish Symphony Orchestra’s next concert puts an emphasis on what they call “The Driving Force of All Nature.”

That was how Leonardo da Vinci characterized water and composers have made water in all its forms the subject of compositions

for centuries, according to the orchestra’s website.

The program includes water-themed compositions, and a guest appearance by renowned oboe player Brent Hages.

Catch it at 7:30 p.m. April 29 at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center Theatre or 2 p.m. May 1 at Eastlake.

The season concludes 2 p.m. June 16 at Eastlake with “The Spring Blossoms of the Earth.”

The final performance will feature the not-yetnamed winner of the 2016 Sammamish Youth Concerto Competition.

There was a time when Issaquah’s young people ran free all summer – as long as they got their chores done first. At least that was the recollection of Jake Jones Jr., who recorded an oral history that is now in the collections of the Issaquah History Museums.

Jones recalled the summers of the 1890s when he and his half-brother Pierre Joseph Settem went fishing, camping and exploring, and no one knew where they were. At the time, the boys were about 12 and 14 years of age, respectively.

“When Joe and I started out, we got the garden up and weeded and everything was all up in good shape, and Dad told us we’d better go fishing for two days before the weeds caught up,” Jones said. “We dug some spuds and put them in gunnysacks, and got some bacon, and we took some flour along to make hotcakes. We didn’t take no coffee because we didn’t drink coffee. I think we took some tea.”

With those supplies, plus a loaf of bread, they headed for Echo Lake, where they settled into an old shack. They found a dugout canoe, but it was unstable and dangerous because the sides were too high. After chopping it down to size, they went fishing.

“There was lots of fish then, and we had quite a few fish hooks,” Jones said.

What they didn’t have was fishing line, but they solved that problem when they found a mesh screen left by the railroad.

“The screen was in good shape, so we unraveled it for fish line,” he said. “And we got chubs (carp) for bait. There was lots of chubs in there and we had a piece of screen and we’d sprinkle a little bread crumbs on there ‘til a bunch of chubs would come, and we’d catch them in this little dip net.

“We’d go down about 20,

Every once in a while, we’d pull one in,” he added. “And at night, we made a box and put these fish in, and we kept these boxes in the water to keep the fish alive. But in the evening, at dark, we fished in the lower end of the lake and we got these small ones fly-fishing.”

On another trip to Echo Lake, Jake and Joe caught quite a few fish but they “took a notion” to try another location, so they followed the railroad grade down to the Raging River and fished and camped there for awhile. Other times, they tried their luck at Deep Creek and down by Hobart.

“We used to travel around there mostly any old place,” Jones said. “We would stay for a week or 10 days, whatever we felt like. We never got lost. Nobody ever hunted [looked for] us. There was no use to hunt us, because they didn’t know where we was anyway.

“We didn’t have no watch or no clock with us.

We didn’t know what time it was. When we was over at Raging River, we knew the train come up at seven o’clock. That’s the only time we had.”

Jacob Jones Jr. was born in 1880. His grandson, Willard Krigbaum Jr., recorded the oral history in December 1958 after Jones was diagnosed with cancer.

Jones died the following year. His oral history, the oldest in the museums’ collection, is a wide-ranging, vivid account of life in Squak Valley after the settlers arrived.

Patriots pound rival Highlanders, 28-6

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com The chants began almost immediately.

Battle cries of “We run Renton!” echoed from the visitors’ section at Renton Memorial Stadium even before kickoff in Liberty High School’s annual football showdown with rival Hazen on Sept. 11.

Liberty’s dominance over Hazen, a school that sits just three miles away, is well documented. The Patriots won the previous three meetings, and it was more of the same last week, as the Patriots defeated the Highlanders, 28-6.

The schools are in different classifications and leagues, but many of the athletes play youth sports together and live in the same communities. That’s why the nonleague win was a bit sweeter than others, Liberty senior running back Joseph Cunningham said.

“There was some chatter, some trash talk on Twitter before the game,” Cunningham said. “Overall, it was just a good win.”

Liberty clicked on all cylinders, overcoming a slow first quarter to eventually overwhelm the Highlanders.

Quarterback Nate Solly found some success through the air, going 10 for 18 passing. But the ground game is where the Patriots truly did their damage.

Cunningham and junior Dulin Hayden each picked up rushing touchdowns for the second consecutive game, while senior Preston Mitsui and junior Austin Regis joined the scoring with runs of 4 and 5 yards, respectively.

“Coach wanted to pass the ball early to soften them up, and then we wanted to hit them with the runs,” Cunningham said of the game plan.

The Patriots struck first when Regis scored on a 5-yard run. Liberty missed the extra point but took a

6-0 lead as the first quarter came to an end.

Mitsui then punched it in from 4 yards out to put the Patriots up 12-0 in the second quarter. Hayden carried it in for a successful two-point conversion, and Liberty went into halftime with a 14-0 lead.

Liberty extended its lead to three touchdowns in the third quarter as Cunningham carried it in from 3 yards.

Hazen finally put points on the board late in the third when Cody Stillings recovered a Liberty fumble and ran it in for the score.

The Highlanders missed the extra-point try.

Hayden added a 6-yard touchdown run in the fourth to put the Patriots up 28-6.

The Hazen offense had trouble getting anything going against a Liberty defensive line led by sophomore Julian Bruce and junior Mikey Walter, two Patriots who heard their names over the loudspeaker a lot as they kept the Highlanders out of the end zone.

“I really thought everybody on defense did a great job,” Walter said. “It wasn’t just one guy – It was everybody communicating and doing their jobs so we ended up victorious.”

Walter, known mostly for his prowess on the basketball court, where he has starred for the Patriots since he was a freshman, played in just his second high-school football game.

“My mom would never let me play and eventually coach (Steve Valach) convinced her and I got out here,” he said. “It’s a lot more physical. When I play basketball, often times I have to get told, ‘Tone it down, don’t be so physical,’ and everybody’s like, ‘You should be playing football.’

Now that I’m out here, I can say I do play football.’”

The Patriots improved to 2-0 this season. They will open Class 2A KingCo Conference play when they travel to face Interlake at 7 p.m. Sept. 18.

DEFENSE DOMINATES Skyline shuts down Eastside Catholic, 2-0

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com For a team trying to integrate so many new players into its lineup — including replacements at goalkeeper and all four defender positions — there were bound to be some early-season bumps for the Skyline Spartans.

But the Spartans showed noticeable improvement between their first and second matches.

After dropping a 2-1 decision to Class 1A Seattle Academy in the season opener, Skyline bounced back with a solid, 2-0 victory over plateau rival Eastside Catholic in a nonleague girls soccer contest Sept. 8 at Skyline High School.

The final statistics reflected the Spartans’ overall dominance: They launched 22 shots to the Crusaders’ six, had a 9-2

edge in shots on goal, and could’ve won by a more comfortable margin with some better finishing in the first half.

“The key for us tonight was to play together as a team and really work our passes around the field, and really stay calm under pressure,” said sophomore forward Emma Rohleder.

“I really think we were composed around the goal and we were able to score two great goals as a team.”

Skyline had the bulk of possession during the first half, but most of their 11 shots missed the target.

Two of the best chances came from senior forward Gabby Hart, who missed open looks in the 21st and 28th minutes.

The scoreless tie at halftime didn’t seem to faze the Spartans, who continued their onslaught in the final 40 minutes.

They finally broke through in the 60th when senior midfielder Lindsey Fujiwara found a seam in the center of the field and passed to Julia Mitchell, who calmly finished a low shot past a charging Day.

“I was just trying to make the run and get as open as possible,” Mitchell said, “and then when she made the pass, I was just focusing on getting it in the corner and trying to stay composed when I was shooting.”

Skyline doubled its lead two minutes later. Alexa Kirton found Cameron Tingey on the edge of the penalty box, and even though Tingey was closely marked, she curled a wellplaced shot around Day and inside the far post.

Eastside Catholic coach Scott Brayton believed “it was just a matter of time that we were going to break down in the back,” citing some inexperience from the Crusaders’ outside backs, who struggled to defend the speed of Rohleder, Mitchell and Fujiwara.

“They’re a little faster than us,” Brayton said.

“We had a tough time in the back. The wings were really fast, and their midfield is solid.”

With a two-goal cushion, the Spartans were content playing lockdown defense, and the Crusaders strug-

gled to test sophomore goalkeeper Anna Smith.

Although the season is young, the Spartans were encouraged with the play of their sophomore-laden back line of Mariah Alexander, Marissa Carpenter, Ava Giovanola and Claire Wate.

“I think we all have confidence in them to make sure they don’t let any goals in, and we trust them to be composed, play out of the back line and make nice passes,” said Mitchell, another sophomore.

Brayton is trying to mesh five freshmen into his varsity lineup. All of them got to play against Skyline, which might be more valuable long-term experience than the Crusaders’ convincing 6-2 win over Hazen to start the season.

“This was good for us because this is what Seattle Prep is going to be like, and this is what Holy Names will be like,” Brayton said of the key challenges his team will face in Metro League action.

“The girls needed to see this other level of play.”

Issaquah girls soccer blanks Auburn Mountainview for first win

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com From the opening whistle of their Sept. 9 outing, there was pep in the step of every member of the Issaquah High School girls soccer team.

The energy the Eagles brought to their nonleague match with the visiting Auburn Mountainview Lions didn’t immediately pay dividends. Despite Issaquah’s sizable lead in possession and shots, the scoreboard read 0-0 as the first half wound down.

That’s when the breakthrough moment came.

Senior forward Lily Kieburtz ran down the left side of the penalty area and squeezed off a cross that found the feet of fellow senior Maddi Huling, who had

a simple tap-in for the game’s opening goal with just seconds left until the break.

That sparked a second-half explosion for the Eagles, who routed Auburn Mountainview 4-0 at Gary Moore Stadium for their first win of the 2015 season.

Sophomore defender Kirstie Johnson, who had a solid twoway game from her left back position, said it’s typical for Issaquah to start matches with high intensity, and it was only a matter of sticking with the game plan and finishing chances.

“Every game we come out hard, just trying our best,” Johnson said. “At the kickoff, we pressure hard, do what we do.”

Issaquah (1-0-1) got stronger as the game went on. The Eagles piled up a 29-1 edge in shots,

including 17 in the second half, when they cemented the result on goals from Claudia Longo, Mariah Van Halm and Alina Ruzicka.

Longo, a sophomore midfielder, bumped the Eagles’ lead to 2-0 in the 55th minute when she drove a 21-yard free kick through traffic.

“Anna Miller, the goalie, actually helps with those, to try to position them,” Longo said of taking free kicks. “But I was just trying to put a good ball in and our team was there to kind of block the goalie from seeing it.”

The Eagles substituted freely along their front line and their fresh legs caused problems for the Auburn Mountainview defense. Sophomores Van Halm, Ruzicka and Catey Nelson started the match, with seniors Huling,

Kieburtz and Morgan Hubbard filling in the middle portions.

Both groups were effective.

Hubbard drove a corner kick to the front of the goal, and Van Halm was there to slam it home with her head for a 3-0 lead in the 59th minute.

Van Halm nearly had a second goal in the 75th minute goal but had her shot saved. Ruzicka picked up the rebound and scored from a sharp angle.

The Eagles are a senior-laden team with plenty of big-game experience, but coach Tom Bunnell expects his seven sophomores to contribute. Their progression throughout the season may help define the length of Issaquah’s postseason run.

With two veteran center backs in Madison Phan and Kaylene

Pang, Johnson was moved from her natural position in the center to the left side, but she looks very comfortable at her new position.

She joined the varsity squad midway through last season and has become a fixture there.

“I just had to work all the way up, and having all the support of our players was awesome,” Johnson said.

Likewise, Longo said she’s getting help from the older midfielders, including Lauren Harwood, Caroline Mull and Carly Danner.

“They’re talking to me a lot and keeping me in position,” Longo said. “They really are there for me, telling me to mark up. Tori Lawless is hurt, but she’ll be a big asset to this team when she comes back, and it should be a really good season with the midfield three.”
