School board pushes back Tiger Mountain closure to 2016

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com Tiger Mountain Community High School will close after the 2015-16 school year, a plan that deviates slightly from the one proposed by the Issaquah School District’s superintendent.

Superintendent Ron Thiele had recommended the closure of Tiger Mountain at the end of the current year, but the Issaquah School Board voted 5-0 at its Oct. 22 meeting to delay the closure by a year and remove a gap in alternative education for district students.

The vote capped an eightmonth process surrounding Tiger Mountain, which has served as the district’s alternative high school since 1991. Thiele’s plan, announced in February, would have closed the school at the end of the 2014-15 year and created a gap year before a new alternative school, under a different educational model, opens for the 2016-17 year.

Board members said the feedback they’ve received from Tiger Mountain staff, students and parents over the past several months was influential in their decision-making process.

“I’m not comfortable with the district not having an alternative option,” board member Suzanne Weaver said. Tiger Mountain is “obviously is an option that’s working well for some kids.”

Several people spoke last week in favor of keeping the school open, including Mitchell Reed, whose daughter, Erica, attends Tiger Mountain. He argued the district’s plan to close the school was a deceitful — and possibly illegal — repurposing of a $3.9 million bond measure approved by voters in 2012.

The bond was designed to pay for the relocation of Tiger Mountain to the current Issaquah Middle School campus, and to expand the district’s career and technical education efforts.

The measure was overseen

by Thiele’s predecessor, Steve Rasmussen, and while it didn’t specify closing Tiger Mountain in favor of a new educational model, Thiele said he came to that conclusion because of data including the school’s low graduation rates, test scores and attendance figures.

“I could not live with the results that I was seeing,” Thiele said.

Fewer than 100 students are currently enrolled at Tiger Mountain, but its close-knit environment has proven to be a safe haven for many students, several people stated.

“If we close the school, not only will fewer kids graduate, but in my opinion, there’s a real chance that the suicide rate in our community may increase,” Reed said.

Tiger Mountain senior Ivy Catlin, who has spoken to the board on several occasions, said last week the school has helped her in ways a comprehensive-school environment could not have.

“At Tiger, through the efforts of these teachers, I can tell you I’m engaged in my education,” Catlin said. “I’m not going to stop when they hand me that degree.”

District officials said most of the students enrolled there are on track to graduate by 2016, and the ones remaining at that time would be able to use personalized learning plans to help them graduate.

The district has been working for several months with the Puget Sound Consortium for School Innovation to develop a framework for a new alternative school.

Board members said they want to see a more inclusive plan that could work for more students who are at risk of not graduating.

Here’s a quick look at the candidates and initiatives. Learn more by reading the complete voters’ guide online at http://1. usa.gov/1oNgj0I.

CANDIDATES Congressional District 8 Dave Reichert (R)

Elected experience: King County sheriff, 1998-2005; U.S. House of Representatives, 2005-current Statement: As a public servant, my energy is focused on spurring our economy, upholding our obligations to our veterans, ensuring our children have access to good schools, protecting our freedom to access quality doctors, reforming our broken immigration system and defend-

ing the vulnerable. I will continue working to reform our tax code, cut spending and reduce regulations in an effort to enhance private sector innovation and create jobs.

Jason Ritchie (D) Elected experience: none Other professional experience: Owner of Handi Habitats Accessible Construction, former adjunct professor Statement: I’ve never run for political office and I have no plans to be a career politician. I’m running because I want to give back, and I believe the people of the 8th District need common-sense leadership in Congress. We don’t have to settle for gridlock. We must focus on the basics: creating jobs, promoting economic fairness and ensuring government works for its people.

Congressional District 9 Adam Smith (D)

Elected experience: United States Representative, 1997-current; Washington State Senator,

1991-1997 Statement: Working-class families, like the one I grew up in, do not have the same opportunities as previous generations.

This must change. We need a fairer tax code, strong education system and job-training opportunities, improved transportation infrastructure, a secure social safety net for our seniors.

We need to focus on the fundamentals: more Americans back to work, better use of our tax dollars and equal opportunity for all.

Doug Basler (R) Elected experience: twice elected PCO for his precinct, worked with numerous candidates and political organizations creating marketing and advertising materials, and placing media purchases Other professional experience: founder and president of the Broadcast Professionals Group Inc. and EZTVSpots.com Statement: As your representative in Washington, D.C., I am committed to work hard to protect the jobs and prosperity

of all our citizens by protecting the strong local and regional economy that we enjoy. I am looking forward to working with both public and private sector interests so that our economy remains vibrant and continues to be a national leader in job creation, education and advancement.

State Legislative District 5 State Rep. Position 1 Jay Rodne (R)

Elected experience: State Representative, Washington House of Representatives (2004-present); Snoqualmie City Council (2001-2004) Statement: As your representative, I will work for commonsense policies that create jobs and reduce taxes on families and small businesses. We must demand that Olympia live within its means and prioritize the fundamentals, such as making our children’s education the state’s top priority, reducing regulatory burdens on businesses to create private-sector job growth and making smart investments in our

transportation infrastructure to reduce congestion and improve commute times.

Essie Hicks (D) Elected experience: none Other professional experience: former small business owner; educator, Alexandar School of Natural Therapeutics Statement: I believe my experience as a business owner, my long history in service to my community, and as a mother of children in Issaquah schools, I am ready to advocate for you effectively in Olympia. As your representative, I will work every day to fully fund education, deliver transportation solutions that work for our region and preserve our unique natural resources. I would be honored to have your support.

tion Committee (ranking member), Higher Education Committee, Technology & Economic Development Committee, Quality Education Council, Career Education Opportunities Task Force, Online Learning Advisory Committee, past president of Issaquah School Board Statement: When elected to this office, I arrived with a commitment to support family-wage jobs, promote fiscal responsibility, encourage a worldclass education system and stand up for constitutional rights and civil liberties. I have consistently followed through on those priorities, always putting our kids first, working collaboratively across party lines and balancing the state budget without burdensome tax increases.

David Spring (D) Elected experience: Legislative chairman, Opstad Elementary School PTA Statement: Our children attend among the lowest funded, most overcrowded schools in America. Yet despite being ordered to restore school funding by our Supreme Court, my opponent failed to draft a single bill to restore school funding. Instead, Chad

The Issaquah Press

voted to give another $8.7 billion to Boeing — one of the richest corporations in the world. It would not hurt Boeing to pay its fair share — because it could deduct its state taxes from its federal taxes. But robbing from our schools hurts our kids. I ask for your vote so we can roll back corporate tax breaks and restore school funding.

State Legislative District 41 Position 1 Tana Senn (D)

Elected experience: State Representative 41st Legislative District, appointed by unanimous vote of the King County Council in 2013, Mercer Island City Council member Statement: There aren’t enough legislators in Olympia who understand the challenges facing families.

With two kids in public schools, I know firsthand the importance of a high quality education. At the same time, we need to get people out of traffic and home with their families.

Let’s end the gridlock in Olympia to end the gridlock on our roads.

Bill Stinson (R) Elected experience: 2012 41st Legislative District GOP Caucus Delegate; ASUW Senate — ASUW Senate Liaison to Special Appropriations Committee Statement: I have lived and worked in the 41st

District for more than 20 years and hold a vested interest in the future and quality of life for my community. As a Millennial Republican, I have a duty to ensure my generation’s economic future with the principles of fiscal responsibility and increased personal liberty.

Argument against: Initiative 591 will make it easier for guns to fall into the wrong hands by weakening our criminal background check system on gun sales. I-591 would roll back Washington’s existing — and already inadequate — background check laws to conform to weak federal standards. I-591 is a dangerous step backward.

It locks in loopholes that allow criminals, domestic abusers and other dangerous individuals to buy guns without a criminal background check.

Initiative No. 594 This measure would apply currently used criminal and public safety background checks by licensed dealers to all firearm sales and transfers, including gun show and online sales, with specific exceptions.

Argument for: I-594 prevents dangerous people from having easy access to guns. It strengthens existing law by ensuring private gun sales go through the same process people use when buying from a licensed gun dealer. Gifts between family members, antique sales and loans for self-defense, hunting or sporting are exempt from background checks.

Argument against: I-594 is an unfunded mandate that diverts scarce law enforcement resources away from keeping violent criminals off our streets.

Criminals will still acquire firearms where they do now — the black market, straw purchasers, theft and illicit sources like drug dealers. I-594 creates a “universal” government database of all lawful handgun owners.

those types of students, but many people have argued that the typical child in need of alternative learning won’t be helped at a comprehensive school.

Board member Lisa Callan said a new alternative school would provide “new tools” for reaching more students, and she didn’t want people to be “boxed into the idea” that Tiger Mountain was the only usable model for alternative education.

Closing Tiger Mountain a year later, Callan said, would help students transition into a new educational plan.

“I want you to have time to do that,” she told students at the meeting.

Board President Marnie Maraldo said the district has known for two years that Tiger Mountain would have to change. A big shift is on the horizon next year as all public schools in the state shift to a 24-credit graduation requirement for the class of 2019, a four-credit increase from Tiger Mountain’s current standards.

Although Maraldo voted for the amended plan, she also said she could support the idea to close at the end of this year because action needed to be taken quickly. The closure isn’t the students’ fault, she added.

“We don’t think it’s the failure of the current students,” Maraldo said.

“We think it’s the failure of the district to address what’s going on.”

Reject Initiative 1351; election endorsements

Election

Tana Senn brings familyoriented view to Olympia

Initiative 1351 is being called The Washington Class Size Reduction Measure. The name is intended to appeal to an electorate with short attention spans and little time for or interest in details. A recent Elway Poll revealed that 66 percent of those polled say they will definitely or probably vote in favor of Initiative 1351.

How could anyone be against reducing class sizes in Washington state schools? The real question is where is the state going to find the almost $5 billion it will cost through 2019 to add the 25,000 new education employees the measure requires to its payroll? The state Office of Financial Management is the source of the $5 billion estimate of the initiative’s cost, and I-1351 does not contain any funding method.

With the state under court order to fully fund education, lawmakers already need to find $2 billion in the state budget that they can redirect to education, or raise taxes to comply.

Approving I-1351 with no mechanism to fund its very specific requirements will make it necessary to find even more items to cut from the budget in order to further fund education. It will also make the process far more complicated.

House Bill 1545 was recently introduced in the Legislature to create a state income tax. No doubt Washingtonians will hear more about the need to increase taxes and possibly create a state income tax to cover the cost of I-1351 if voters approve it.

The Washington Education Association drafted the measure and its top three donors are all unions: the WEA, the National Education Association and the Public School Employees of Washington.

The WEA has spent millions to promote approval of I-1351.

If it passes, the WEA will get its money back several times over. While only 7,500 of the 25,000 new education employees required by the measure are actually teachers, all new teachers are compelled to join the union. At WEA’s quoted annual dues at $405 per member, that means the 7,500 new teachers will add more than $3 million per year to WEA’s coffers. The Washington Policy Center places the estimated new dues collected by the WEA at closer to $7.5 million per year.

Washington voters are asked to believe that I-1351 will benefit “the children,” but its real beneficiary is the union. Reject Initiative 1351. Our state simply can’t afford it.

Position 2 — Chad Magendanz: Republican Chad Magendanz’s experience on the Issaquah School Board and now with one term of experience in the legislature puts him in a good position to represent the 5th District and address our state’s top priority of funding education.

I write to you today to wholeheartedly endorse Tana Senn for State Representative for the 41st District.

She embodies the values that are important to me and my family. As a working mom of two school-aged children, Tana understands the needs and stresses placed on many families in our region, and is able to bring a family-oriented view to Olympia.

Tana has a vested interest in working on real legislation that provides genuine working solutions to wide and varied problems that affect those in our state. In Olympia, something as straightforward as fully funding education may be highly contested, but to Tana, this is something that is nonnegotiable for the families of this state.

We need people like Tana Senn who are not afraid to fight for legislation that will fix real problems to help people — be it families, children, the elderly or working people.

Tana is ready to tackle the issues most dear to so many of us, such as championing our schools, creating jobs, improving transportation and protecting our environment.

With a master’s in public administration, experience in communications and work on the Mercer Island City Council, Tana Senn has the tenacity to get the job done in Olympia.

Tana is the type of representative we need here in the 41st District. I hope you’ll join me in voting for Tana Senn this November.

Everyone is talking about the latest school shooting, the one at Marysville-Pilchuck High School last week, saying what a tragedy it is. And they say it every time a public shooting happens.

Don’t get me wrong — I wholeheartedly agree with that. And I can’t imagine what the family members and friends of victims must go through at such a time.

But what I don’t hear people saying each time someone opens fire on people in public is what has gone wrong with society.

Why is it that whenever some people get their feelings hurt, get bummed out or depressed, or angry, the “solution” these days is to go to a public place and shoot people?

It’s the guns, people say, they kill people. Well, I have a gun, have owned several throughout my life, and none of them have ever killed anyone. They’ve only been fired in practice.

It’s the gun laws, people say, they should be changed. Well, none of the gun laws proposed

Letters must be signed and have a daytime phone number to verify authorship.

If U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert has done such a wonderful job for his constituents, as David Waggoner claims (To the Editor, Oct. 1), then I wonder why he refuses to defend his record and debate (or acknowledge) Jason Ritchie, his Democratic challenger or have any public town hall meetings where his constituents can ask him to explain, among other things, why he voted: For HR 4297 to lower taxes on the rich instead of the middle-class; For HR 624 to expand government spying and unprotect your social media passwords; For HR 839 to discontinue TARP help for active-duty military personnel trying to avoid foreclosure; Against HR 1363, which would continue to pay the military during a government

shutdown (which Reichert voted for since his paycheck wasn’t affected); Against HR 3159, which would provide a rest period between military deployments; Against HR 5122, which would prevent a reduction in military death benefits to surviving spouses; and Against HR 2831 to address gender pay discrimination, as well as against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Dave Reichert prefers to spend his time off from Congress raising money with disgraced former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich rather than meet with the people he is supposed to be representing, or his challenger.

Anyone who thinks Reichert represents their values needs to start reading “How Your U.S. Lawmaker Voted” in The Seattle Times Sunday edition (when Congress is in session) to see the facts for yourself. Do not just listen to what politicians or their marketing departments say — watch what they do.

As a middle-class woman whose son is proudly serving in the U.S. military, Dave Reichert does not represent my family’s values. I’m voting for Jason Ritchie because it’s time to #RetireReichert.

Upon closer inspection, however, it would appear that the food vendors did better business than the crafters.

While perusing one booth, I overheard its owner saying the last time she participated was 15 years ago. It reminded me of a similar conversation I’d had with a crafter last year who admitted that the lack of serious buyers had her rethinking whether or not she’d return this year. She didn’t.

What has this to do with Issaquah?

For the most part, the restaurant business is thriving, which is a great thing. Folks have to eat. Give them great food and they’ll be back for more. Other small businesses, however, continue to struggle. It’s anyone’s guess as to why that is.

Roger Brooks International was hired to advise “how Issaquah could entice visitors to come and spend money,” according to a recent Issaquah Press article “Tourism recommendations suggest new organization, city branding.” For $20,000 it was recommended that Issaquah develop “a brand

that’s built organically from the community and strategically developed from our position.”

Great advice...if it’s taken seriously.

Building a brand organic to Issaquah would seem to imply the involvement of local businesses. Owners could best assess how they might tap into the town’s growth, and together with the City Council determine what assistance, if any, is required to succeed.

Issaquah City Councilwoman Nina Milligan said “You’re talking about it as a way to bring dollars into the city, but I also see it as a way to keep dollars in the city.”

Local businesses would probably agree wholeheartedly.

B&O tax

City needs a fair and equitable option

The city of Issaquah is poised to significantly raise the business and occupation tax, first by nearly doubling it, and then adding substantially to that again in 2017.

The B&O tax is paid by businesses that manufacture, sell or provide a taxable service in Issaquah. However, that leaves out companies that have offices here, but do not directly generate revenues in Issaquah, because their products and services are delivered elsewhere.

For example, Redmond does not have a B&O tax, but instead has a tax levied on the number of employees each company has. That is because Microsoft would pay almost nothing in B&O tax, but their 33,000 employees, at $92 each, contribute substantially.

What I do not think the city is fairly presenting is a side-byside comparison of the merits of an employee-based tax versus the B&O tax, or some combination of the two.

Almost tripling the B&O tax increases the burden on those that are already carrying the load, and avoids addressing companies who are currently not paying much or anything at all. And I don’t mean small businesses — think the thousands of office employees at the Costco headquarters.

This is not fair or equitable, because large offices need to pay their share, because their workers travel on our roads and use our city services.

It is wrong to put more of the burden on the backs of the residents and businesses that are already paying. There should be some middle ground, where everyone contributes, both now and in the future.

Issaquah

hasn’t had a 4-year-old make it to the front door yet. But for the older kids, this is an annual challenge, and one by one they leave the safety of the sidewalk to do a broken-field run, often with screaming, until they hit the safety of the doorbell. Once that doorbell rings, they know, it’s all over but the candy.

Ah, the candy! As if to make up for all the screaming and terror, Herb gives out dollar candy bars. Some kids have been known to carry them around for several days to show off before eating them.

“It gives the little guys something to shoot for,” Herb says, laughing. “And the big guys get a different dose of demons every year, so they aren’t sure what to expect.”

And Herb?

“I just have a lot of fun.”

Exhibit examines Prohibition in Issaquah

By Polly Good and Lissa Kramer Issaquah History Museums If you find yourself in downtown Issaquah the night before Halloween, you may catch a glimpse of a gaggle of historical characters rampaging through the area.

The History Pub Crawl is a partnership between the Downtown Issaquah Association and the Issaquah History Museums to diversify the way local history is taught and to bring Issaquahans out in downtown on a Thursday night.

The Oct. 30 event is sold out, but the event will be held again in May, so watch for tickets sales at www. issaquahhistory.org and www.downtownissaquah.com.

In the meantime, enjoy this piece of Prohibition to whet your curiosity: In the mid-1920s, Issaquah made news across the nation when Deputy Sheriffs Joe Harrahan and Robert Gibson raided a ranch, off the east shore of Lake Sammamish, owned by Justice of the Peace Robert Hunt. The deputies reported that they found the judge and his son manufacturing illicit liquor, commonly called moon-

‘Mary Poppins’ flies into Village Theatre for the holiday season

In 1978, Hollywood made us believe a man could fly in “Superman.”

Now, 36 years later, Village Theatre will have audiences believing the same for a woman and her parasol in its musical production of “Mary Poppins.”

Village Theatre is transforming its stage with a complex flight system for the “Mary Poppins” run from Nov. 13 to Jan. 4.

Based on P.L. Travers timeless books, “Mary Poppins” is full of magical moments, dancing chimney sweeps and breathtaking flight. The musical features actors Cayman Ilika as the amazing flying nanny and Greg McCormick Allen as the tap-dancing chimney sweep Bert in beloved, Academy Award-winning Disney songs such as “Spoonful of Sugar,” “Let’s Go Fly A Kite,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

Village Theatre veterans Steve Tomkins and Kathryn Van Meter co-direct the production with Tim Symons and Bruce Monroe as co-music directors. Van Meter also serves as choreographer.

Tickets are on sale now at the theater’s box office, 303 Front St. N., or online at www.villagetheatre.org/ issaquah.

Judge Hunt was not the only Issaquah moonshiner. Officials found a man brewing a 5-gallon pan of “tea” in the woods near town. According to Sheriff Matt Starwich, the man — who fled the scene —

used tea to color his moonshine so that he could sell the concoction as “Scotch Whiskey.” These accounts only scratch the surface. Issaquah was most likely home to many illicit ventures that escaped notice during the Prohibition era.

Skyline senior attains Eagle honor with Scout troop

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com Most boys who enter the world of Scouting will make a lot of fond memories and learn many valuable lessons, but fewer than one in 10 will accomplish what Jonathan Chriest is doing this weekend.

At a Nov. 2 Court of Honor ceremony at The Plateau Club, the Skyline High School senior will receive his Eagle Scout rank from the Boy Scouts of America.

The National Eagle Scout Association estimates about 2.25 million boys have attained the honor since 1912, which might seem like a lot until learning that number represents only 5 percent of all Scouts.

While there’s no knowing if Chriest will become as famous as other Eagle Scouts — former astronaut Neil Armstrong, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer and film director Steven Spielberg are all part of the club — there is a large sense of success in reaching the milestone.

Jonathan’s father Mark is an Eagle Scout and has passed along much of his knowledge and joy about the organization.

“Once I got into Boy Scouts, I just started to love it,” Jonathan said. “It was not something that I would ever be able to give up.”

Chriest’s journey to Eagle Scout began inauspiciously when he joined Cub Scout Pack 684 in second grade at Sunny Hills Elementary School.

In fourth and fifth grades, he participated in Webelos, a 20-month program for those interested in joining Boy

By Maria Nelson Special to The Press It goes without saying that one of the best things about living in Washington are the apples.

We are the apple state, after all, and no selfrespecting Washingtonian should be without at least one or two killer apple pie or apple whatever recipes up their sleeve. Considering it’s now the height of apple season around here, there really is no reason not to get in the kitchen and get crackin’.

The lowly and oft overlooked apple pie often gets short shrift this time of year, when everyone everywhere seems to be all about pumpkin everything.

And while I love pumpkin just as much as the next person, it just wouldn’t be fall to me if an apple pie didn’t make an appearance.

This pie delivers all of the things you’d expect from a traditional apple pie and then some. What sets it apart is the delicious layer of almond paste that’s nestled between the crust and apple layer. A light crumbly almond topping prevents the pie from being too rich and gives it a satisfying, nutty crunch.

Almond paste is available at most if not all grocery stores, in the baking aisle, and it sends this pie into the realm of incredibly amazing. Special, unique and delicious, this would also be an excellent addition to the Thanksgiving table.

Apple Almond Pie 41 unbaked 90-inch pie shell 47 ounces almond paste 45 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (I like Fuji apples) 4Juice of 1 lemon 41/4 cup granulated sugar 41 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided 43/4 cup all purpose flour

Jonathan Chriest Scouts. He attained the Arrow of Light — the highest award in Cub Scouts — based on things like strong physical fitness, citizenship and outdoors skills.

By eighth grade, Chriest was the senior patrol leader of Boy Scout Troop 677, comprised of 40 young men in Issaquah and Sammamish.

Like any true Scout, Chriest has a love for the outdoors.

“Backpacking was, by far, my favorite thing to do from a Scouting perspective,” he said, “and something I still like to do on my own outside of Scouts.”

See SCOUT, Page 9

43/4 cup old-fashioned oats 43/4 cup brown sugar 41/4 cup sliced almonds 47 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Flatten the almond paste into a disk and place between two layers of waxed or parchment paper. Roll to an 8-inch in diameter and set aside. Line a 9-inch baking dish with the pastry and remove the almond paste from the waxed paper. Lay the almond paste on top of the pastry, (it’s OK if it goes up the sides a bit), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

Combine the apples, lemon juice, sugar and a half-teaspoon of the cinnamon in a mixing bowl and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the remaining half-teaspoon cinnamon, flour, oats and brown sugar. Add the cold butter and, using a pastry cutter, combine until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Add the almonds and stir to incorporate.

Remove the crust from the refrigerator, and tip in the apple mixture, smoothing the apples with your fingers, making sure to fill any gaps. Sprinkle the entire crumb topping on top of the apples, mounding it slightly in the center.

Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes until the apples are soft. Cover with aluminum foil at the 30-minute mark to prevent excessive browning. Let sit at room temperature for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.

can’t know. But maybe it’s time we all pay more attention to one another when someone is down or depressed or angry or hurt. Maybe it’s time we intervene in people’s lives before instead of after the fact.

I admit I don’t have the answers, but it’s time we start asking more and larger and more important questions.

Just a few hours after the shooting, the top three trending topics on a news feed were Demi Moore and her daughters out partying, Kelly Osbourne getting a Joan Rivers tattoo and the cancellation of a new television series. Maybe when people change their priorities and focus, these big public shootings will end.

Patriots spike Kangs in three straight sets

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com The Liberty High School volleyball team sent its seniors off in style, securing a convincing victory over Lake Washington Oct. 22, as the Patriots played their regular season finale.

Liberty took the match in three sets behind a dominating attack from senior Shea O’Brien, who on her senior night recorded 13 kills, including one that secured a set-clinching point.

The Patriots won the first set, 25-22; the second set, 25-23; and the third set 25-23. Despite those scores, Liberty wasn’t truly challenged until the third set, when the Patriots came from behind late to win.

“We usually don’t start off that well, but to actually take a game in three was fantastic,” O’Brien said.

The Patriots have had problems getting off to quick starts and finding the will to finish this season, O’Brien said. Liberty was able to play a complete match against Lake Washington, though.

The first set clearly showed that the Patriots were the better team, as the Kangs were plagued with just too many mistakes.

O’Brien’s best set was the second one. She had

the set-clinching kill to put the Patriots up 2-0 in the match.

“That match, I think I hit well in the back row,” she said. “Overall, though, we played well as a team for all three sets.”

Lake Washington’s best hope came in the third set, as the team seemed poised to push the match to a fourth set. The Patriots grabbed a hold of the lead late, though, to win the match in straight sets.

“We never can finish a match in three, so for us to actually come back and not give up the pursuit was great,” O’Brien said.

O’Brien’s 13 kills led the team that night. She also recorded a team-leading 10 digs. Kenna Hanses, Hayley Ho and Maddie Chapman each had three aces. Hanses and Chapman also added six kills each, while Ho had nine digs.

The Patriots now have some time off before the postseason begins. It will be Liberty’s first in the 2A classification. The team has earned the KingCo No. 1 seed in the 2A bi-district volleyball tournament, where it will play a team from the Seamount League at Franklin Pierce High School on Nov. 7.

“We’re pretty confident going into it because we’re one of the few schools that plays mostly 3A schools during the season,” O’Brien said.

At left, Lyrik Fryer, Issaquah High School senior defender, kicks the ball from 20 yards out, and then falls on her back (above) with joy after her unassisted goal in the 54th minute of the Eagles’ Oct. 23 soccer match against Skyline. Unassisted goals by teammate Devan Talley and Skyline’s Kelli Sullivan gave the full accounting for the Eagles’ 2-1 victory.

Skyline nets quick win over Issaquah

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Bragging rights are always at stake when the Issaquah Eagles and Skyline Spartans meet, and that was the case again in an Oct. 23 volleyball match.

First-place Skyline earned the bragging rights, starting fast and building momentum on its way to a 25-18, 25-17, 2515 victory over visiting Issaquah in Class 4A KingCo Conference action.

“We focused and we remained really steady through the whole entire match,” said Skyline’s Kate Richardson, a junior outside hitter. “It was really fun to see everyone try really hard to beat Issaquah.”

Heading into their final matches this week against Mount Si and Bothell, the Spartans can claim the program’s first regularseason KingCo title in coach Callie Wesson’s four-year tenure.

“That’s definitely on the back of the mind,” Wesson said. “It’s little stepping stones to get to the final goal of getting to state, and these are the things that we’ve been prepping for all season.”

Skyline (12-1 overall, 6-0 conference) set the tone in the early portions of the match by winning battles at the net and committing very few errors.

Senior outside hitter Chloe Epker had four of her match-high 10 kills in the opening set, and Skyline took an 14-8 lead before an Issaquah timeout. Richardson, who had seven kills and two blocks on the night, was responsible for the last two points of the set.

Epker, Richardson and newcomer Lindy Chang, a 6-foot senior, have given the Spartans some formidable offensive weapons.

“So many high-school teams a lot of times just go outside, outside, outside, and it becomes predictable,” Wesson said, “but for us, the defense never knows … which gives us so many hitting options.

“It’s good, definitely, to be able to go to any kid at any time, and know that they’re going to do their job.”

Issaquah had a better start to the second set behind senior Rachel Baker, and the teams exchanged leads five times. But the Spartans pulled away

once again, and Chang had one of her match-high four blocks on set point.

Epker served 10 straight points in the third set, helping Skyline to a 20-10 lead, and senior Kristin Dietzel closed out the victory with one of her three blocks.

Issaquah (7-4, 4-2) had won four straight matches, but the loss dropped the Eagles into third place with Bothell and Newport left on the schedule.

Still, it wasn’t the type of performance that coach Amanda Sewell was particularly upset about.

“It’s a learning match for us,” Sewell said. “Our defense and our serve receive really kept us in the game, and our middles were doing a really good job of producing and keeping the ball in play.

“Just a little less hitting errors, and it would’ve been a different story.”

Sewell said she’s seen “huge improvement” from the players since the start of the season, and one of their strengths is a core of six seniors who’ve helped quicken the offensive pace and solidify defensive communication.

“They’ve learned how to kind of build that solid base together and that

chemistry, and the few add-ins that we’ve had, they’ve done nothing but help that chemistry,” the coach noted.

Issaquah’s leaders in the match included Baker (nine kills, 10 digs), senior setter McKenzie Bostic (27 assists) and senior libero Daniela Jaramillo (12 digs).

Senior setter Meghan Wedeking had 18 assists and six digs for Skyline, and Epker added 12 digs and four aces.

Both squads have high hopes for the KingCo tournament, and being one of the two teams that qualify for state, Nov. 14 -15 in Lacey.

“Watching the standings of KingCo, things have been flip-flopping the whole entire season, so it’s anybody’s game,” Sewell said, “but I think we have a good shot of getting a good seed into playoffs and working our way through that bracket.”

“I think we are where we want to be,” Richardson said of Skyline.

“Obviously, every day we’re working harder toward our goal, which is going to state and hopefully placing really well in state.”

Cross country teams win league titles The Issaquah High School girls cross-country team continued its magical season Oct. 25, winning the KingCo 4A League championship for the first time in 21 years.

The Eagles had four runners in the top eight, led by Issaquah’s top finisher, Cayla Seligman.

The Issaquah senior took third place overall, running the 3.1-mile course at Lake Sammamish State Park in 18 minutes, 7.32 seconds.

Issaquah won the championship with 44 points, followed by second-place Skyline. The Spartans’ top finisher was Maizy Brewer, who placed second overall, with a time of 18:04.49.

The Liberty crosscountry teams made their

debuts at the 2A SubDistrict championships and both emerged victorious. The Patriots’ girls team took first place and senior Sarah Bliesner won the overall crown finishing the 3.1-mile course in 19:33.39.

The boys also won their 2A Sub-District meet, led by second-place finisher Andrew Cooper, who ran the course in 16:05.91.

Up next for all three schools is districts, and after that, the state championship in Pasco.

The Issaquah girls team is currently ranked second in the state at 4A, while the Skyline girls team is ranked seventh.

The Liberty girls are ranked second at 2A, and the boys are ranked fifth.

Scout from page 5

He has been part of several challenging expeditions, starting the summer after seventh grade, when he took a 50-mile hike along the Olympic Peninsula, from Cape Flattery to La Push.

He later planned and led two more 50-mile group treks, one looping through the Cascades near Stevens Pass, and another around the Hurricane Ridge area of Olympic National Park.

Another one of his favorite adventures was the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit, a 73-mile excursion in British Columbia that took eight days to complete.

Achieving the Eagle Scout rank, of course, requires a lot more than outdoors knowledge.

Prohibition from page 5

In 1914, Washington voters passed Initiative Measure No. 3, which outlawed the manufacture and sale of liquor beginning in January 1916. The law closed saloons and shut down the liquor industry, but allowed individuals to acquire their own alcoholic beverages. Individuals could obtain permits from the county auditor that allowed them to import as much as 2 quarts of liquor or 12 quarts of beer during a 20-day period.

Seattle-area residents flocked to auditors’ offices, which issued more than 18,000 permits in August 1916. Washingtonians

Eagles must earn 21 merit badges, and 10 of them are in specific topics mandated by the BSA, such as communications, cooking, family life, first aid, personal fitness and personal management.

Troop 677 has had 65 Eagle Scouts since its inception in 1993, and Chriest has been working closely with Scoutmaster Ryan Steffen for the past three years to lead the troop and complete his requirements.

“Our troop is big on being a boy-led troop,” Chriest said. “Mr. Steffen is always there at our patrol leader conferences, and just kind of facilitates the ideas along, makes sure nothing crazy gets out of hand, and always making sure that we’re encouraged to keep going with merit badges.”

Chriest’s extracurricular

activities include playing baseball for Skyline and the Lakeside Recovery Senior American Legion teams; serving with the school’s Link Crew and National Honor Society; and hiking, camping and skiing in his spare time.

He’s part of the school’s challenging International Baccalaureate curriculum, and wants to study atmospheric sciences or geology next year. He has applied to six schools; his top three choices are the University of Washington, Cornell University and the University of California at Davis.

“I’m looking at more of a climate-change, climatedynamics kind of thing,” he said of his future career. “… Not necessarily broadcast meteorology, but more of the behind-the-scenes, National Weather Service kind of stuff.”

quickly grew weary of the permit system and looked elsewhere for their spirits.

Ambitious entrepreneurs, like Judge Hunt and the anonymous tea brewer, filled that demand. The demand for liquor soon outweighed supply, and the price of moonshine skyrocketed to $5 a quart by the end of 1916.

To enforce Prohibition laws, county sheriffs organized special groups of deputies known as dry squads. Seattle Mayor Hiram Gill formed the area’s most infamous dry squad, who zealously pursued the illegal sale and manufacture of liquor with an ax.

Gill’s dry squads would enter drug stores, restaurants and hotels, smashing counters, light fixtures, bottles and merchandise.

His raids caused tens of

thousands of dollars worth of damage to businesses he suspected of selling illicit liquor.

Issaquah’s dry squad leader was the appropriately named Tom Drylie, a World War I veteran who owned the Honeysuckle Confectionery, a local soda fountain. By most accounts, Drylie was a strict, if less destructive, enforcer of the state prohibition laws. Drylie once ticketed the wife of the town’s marshal for home-brewing dandelion wine.

By the time the 18th Amendment established a national law outlawing the production, transport and sale of alcohol in 1920, the law enforcement and illegal activities associated with Prohibition were part of the landscape of Issaquah.
