Candidates remain cordial, provide few surprises in first election forum

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com

Development and traffic.

Probably to no one’s surprise, those two issues were the main topics of conversation during the first of three scheduled forums featuring the five candidates for Issaquah City Council.

Forum questions came primarily from residents and touched on varying issues. But the topics of traffic and growth worked their way into the discussion throughout the evening.

There are some 28 residential projects in various stages of development, said candidate Tim Flood, who is battling with Bill Ramos for the Position 4 council seat up for grabs thanks to the coming departure of Councilman Joshua Schaer. Ramos is the current chairman of the city’s Human Services Commission.

Those residential developments will add approximately 2,800 residences to Issaquah, according to Flood, who added that at the same time, the city has only two street projects underway.

“Traffic is a priority and passion for me,” said Ramos, who touted his experience as a selfemployed transportation consultant.

When he took office four

years ago, there was no linkage between development and road projects, current Council President Paul Winterstein said. That changed when current legislators approved a $308 million concurrency traffic plan that is intended to ensure road projects keep pace with development.

Winterstein is running for reelection to council Position 6.

That current city officials have expressed some good ideas, but greatly lack follow-through was a central contention of Winterstein’s opponent, resident Christopher Reh. That lack of leadership extends to the city’s handling of the highly touted Central Issaquah Plan.

The plan is intended to create a dense urban core in the heart of Issaquah, a mix of multistory residential and commercial development. Both Ramos and Winterstein said the CIP is meant to protect the city’s neighborhoods, to keep development concentrated in one area. Winterstein bragged about helping create the CIP, but Reh and Flood both argued officials have allowed development to spring up all around Issaquah, ignoring their own strategy.

ArtEAST artists show what ‘We Are’ at exhibit

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com The “We Are” show is a chance for artists to reveal a little about themselves, to sort of tell their own story, said Karen Abel, director of Issaquah’s artEAST. Now through the end of the month, the Front Street community art gallery hosts the collection of highly personalized artworks by four artEAST artists.

The exhibit also features small, personalized boxes created by artEAST members.

“We Are” is intended as a sort of partner show to the “I Am” exhibit in place in Blakely Hall in the Issaquah Highlands, artEAST show curator Anna Macrae said.

“I Am” was put together by the Pacific Northwest AfricanAmerican Quilters. One quilt in the “I Am” show features patches telling something about the artists involved.

“We kind of wanted to do a reciprocal exhibit,” Macrae said.

Macrae is one of the featured

artists for the artEAST show.

Her contribution includes three dresses that feature bits and pieces from Macrae’s childhood and other stages of her life.

“They sort of tell a story,” she said of the dresses.

Artist Camille Vonnegut’s contribution is somewhat similar.

The work consists of what Abel described as a sturdy, old-fashioned straitjacket.

“It’s covered with little pieces that are parts of the artist’s life,” Abel said.

International stamps represent Vonnegut’s trips to other countries. Her time as a docent at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery also is memorialized.

Abel noted artEAST displayed the straitjacket about seven years ago. She was pleased to have the piece back.

“It’s fabulous,” Abel said.

Another featured artist is poet Michael Dylan Welch, whose See EXHIBIT, Page 3

SALMON DAYS CROWDS MAKE WORLD-RECORD ATTEMPT

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com

More than 3,000 visitors to the 2015 Salmon Days may have helped set a world’s record for the largest number of people to take part in a paintby-numbers project.

With the help of Issaquah’s artEAST and the Sammamish YMCA, Creative Children for Charity spearheaded the record effort.

“We set a world’s record,” said Chaitra Vedullapalli, of Creative Children for Charity.

“It’s pretty cool.”

In the meantime, Salmon Days vendors said they had some of the best sales ever for the event on Oct. 4, said Robin Kelley, director of events for the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce.

To break the world’s record, Creative Children had visitors paint one of a few thousand

numbered fish on a mural displayed on a back wall of artEAST on Front Street.

The new, unofficial paint-bynumbers world record is 2,852 said Vedullapalli, who added the old record was 2,239.

Vedullapalli said planners had to carefully follow Guinness Book of World Records rules.

They had eight judges watching the event, none of whom had any connection to Children for Charity or artEAST. Those judges disqualified a few hundred painted fish for various reasons, Vedullapalli said.

The record is not yet official.

Planners must send paperwork into the Guinness Book of World Records. Still, Vedullapalli was confident the record would stand.

“The kids ran it all, but it was very smooth,” she said. “We did not have any hiccups.”

Early this week, Kelley said she had not yet received an

attendance estimate from Issaquah Police, who normally supply that number. She said some vendors complained things were rather slow on the first day of the festival.

But she added vendors said the Oct. 4 crowds more than made up for any lack of attendance or buying Oct. 3. Kelley said food vendors reported running out of food late Sunday and some merchandise booths also said they sold out of goods.

“People were feeling good about buying again,” Kelley said, adding the effects of the recent recession seem to have faded, at least at the festival.

Overall, she said vendors and visitors had positive things to say about Issaquah and their time here.

“The community and the people here are so warm and welcoming and everybody feels it,” she said. “That may sound a little corny, but it’s true.”

Council Position 4 candidates sound off Paul Winterstein touts city’s plan for traffic, growth

Christopher Reh: Some plans, policies fail the ‘reasonability test’

2015

“By far, the most spoken concerns are about growth and traffic,” Issaquah City Council President Paul Winterstein said.

Winterstein, looking for his second term on council, is running for re-election to the Position 6 council seat. He will not necessarily continue to serve as the council president. The council chooses the council president from its members.

Expect for a few brief comments, Winterstein chose to answer questions for this story Paul Winterstein by email.

“And most people are pragmatic,” he added regarding the issues of growth and traffic. “They know they live in a great place and they understand why other people would want to be here, too. They want to know we’re being smart and working the big picture.”

Winterstein said the Atlas residential project on Northwest Gilman Boulevard gets a lot of voter attention. He blamed part of that on what he called a misleading headline in The Issaquah Press.

By phone, Winterstein confirmed that comment was aimed at a Feb. 24, 2015, story with the headline, “Atlas project won’t add traffic, city says.”

The story states that after traffic studies, the city granted Atlas developers a mitigated

Unlike many candidates in the general election, Christopher Reh said he has been phoning residents instead of going doorto-door.

Reh is running against Issaquah City Council President Paul Winterstein for the Position 6 council seat.

Reh said he finds phoning voters more effective than showing up unannounced on a doorstep.

“They aren’t always happy to see you,” he said, adding he has found people will talk longer with Christopher Reh him on the phone than in person.

And he has no doubt Issaquah voters are informed and aware of the election.

“People are interested,” he said.

While he might be taking a somewhat different approach to meeting voters, Reh has reached the same conclusion as other candidates in terms of what the key issues are: development and traffic.

“People are even more frustrated with the lack of attention from City Hall,” he added. “They seem to not care about the issues people are raising.”

As an example, Reh pointed to the new Atlas residential project at Seventh Avenue Northwest and Gilman Boulevard Northwest. Atlas will consist of three five-story buildings adding about 350 residences to Issaquah.

Reh said he takes issue with — and he knows

The Issaquah Press

Mayor says deal is close on senior center funding City administration is close to striking a deal with the Issaquah Valley Senior Center, Mayor Fred Butler told the Issaquah City Council at its regular meeting Sept. 21.

That deal could gain the center city funding next year despite some ongoing acrimony at the center.

Butler said there was one issue remaining between the city administration and the center leadership.

Butler did not say what that issue was, but did say he expects some resolution prior to the funding issue going before the council’s Services and Safety Committee.

That committee is the next step for the nonprofit funding recommendations presented to the council at the Sept. 21 meeting.

The committee is expected to meet Oct. 13 with the question of funding returning to the council later in

Senior center officials have made several public accusations against those barred, including allegations of “elder abuse” and “bullying.” On Sept.

8, three former center members, including two displaced board members, attempted to sue Jaren and the board for libel, but an attorney supposedly representing the board and Jaren refused to accept service of the suit.

Inez Petersen, the attorney representing two former board members and one former center member, said in an email sent Sept.

28 she and her clients had decided against filing the lawsuit at this point.

“We thought it would be better for all parties if we could settle this before the grant decision was made,” Petersen said.

Petersen sent the board a proposed settlement agreement, saying she would drop the libel suit if a majority of the senior board signs the settlement.

The agreement contains 17 provisions, including requiring the board to arrange for nonprofit operations training sponsored by the secretary of state’s office. The board also would have to go through training for IRS reporting requirements. Petersen and her clients have claimed center officials have not filed the proper reporting paperwork with the federal government.

The settlement seems a change in course in more ways than one by Petersen and critics of the senior center. Led by Petersen, several past center members spoke at the Sept. 21 council meeting, asking the city to fund the center, but name a new nonprofit entity to run the center or have the city take over operations.

The city owns the center building, 75 N.E. Creek Way, which it rents to the current leadership.

Petersen and others alleged Jaren has abused

her authority, among numerous other supposed improprieties, inappropriately banning seniors from the center. Former Issaquah Councilman Dave Kappler, who has at least twice protested outside the center, said he was turned down for center membership.

While there have been charges of elder abuse made by center officials, charges denied by the accused, center officials allegedly did not report that supposed abuse to state authorities as is required by law, Petersen said. In her mind, Petersen added, the lack of reporting casts further doubt on whether the alleged abuse took place.

October.

The city administration annually makes recommendations to aid nonprofit groups, such as the senior center, Downtown Issaquah Association, Village Theatre and others.

The council must approve those recommendations.

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

In previous comments emailed to center leadership, Butler said he had “ongoing concerns” about the center. He said he was placing at least seven conditions on 2016 center funding, including a third-party audit of center performance, finances and management. The city was to gain a nonvoting member on the board of directors.

In the past, Butler has said center officials applied for funding by the city’s deadline of Aug. 20, but added as officials processed the paperwork, “the city identified missing content.”

In response, Butler said he directed to center management a list of the conditions he had placed on funding and asked an acknowledgement of that list be signed by center Executive Director Courtney Jaren and a member of the board of directors.

At least as has been announced publicly, center officials have yet to sign that acknowledgement.

As in the past, Jaren and center board President Craig Hansen did not respond to an Issaquah Press request for comment.

Controversy at the center began in earnest in April when a center board member was banned from the center via a “no trespassing notice.” He became the second member so barred.

— Robin Kelley, executive director of the Salmon Days Festival

O ff the P ress

Ten years of memories equals hope for 10 more

I

have to try and write this without being too corny or mushy. I just don’t do sentiment very well.

But understand, I really have no choice but to try.

Today, the very day this is being published, is my 10th wedding anniversary, so what else would I write about?

While we were both still living in Cleveland, I met my wife Michelle online, through free listings on AOL. She gave me her phone number and we talked online and on the phone quite a few times. There are a few lines or quotes that became sort of milestones in our relationship. Here’s one: Michelle: “So, are you going to ask me out or what?”

Had she not spoken up we might still be just talking on the phone.

Our first date was highly unique: dinner and a movie, the latter being, “The Mummy Returns.” I have no idea why we chose that movie since it eventually came out we’d both seen it already. Also turns out I grossed her out that night, ordering mushroom ravioli for dinner. She does NOT like mushrooms. I have tried numerous times to bring her to the fungus side, but so far she’s not buying it.

Our second date was the zoo.

I remember something about camels and bears, that one should never mistake one for the other, even from a distance.

That would be embarrassing and you might not hear the end of it for a long time.

These first few dates were right around July 4. Michelle kept asking what I was doing for the holiday and I kept ducking the question since what I

did every year was put on a big party with a bunch of neighborhood drunks heavily armed with patriotic explosives. I liked Michelle Tom and wasn’t Corrigan sure I was Press reporter ready to expose her to what was basically large-scale idiocy. I won’t even pretend nothing went wrong.

There was that whole bit with the blood literally squirting like a fountain out of one buddy’s eye, the ambulance and all that, but we don’t really need to go there, do we?

Oh, and the guy who ended up being my best man licked Michelle’s face. At the wedding, he licked my mother’s face. It’s kind of his thing. And it sounds weirder than it is. Probably.

What else should I mention?

A honeymoon in Alaska? Who does that? It was awesome.

How about “Dr. Who?” I’m a geek from way back, but she’s become a convert. Shakespeare plays? Again, she’s a convert.

Embarrassingly, we still are both Cleveland Browns fans.

We both love movies. We watch too much TV. We have way too many Christmas decorations but every year we buy more. Michelle is a great cook.

And one day she will embrace mushrooms. It’s her destiny.

The above list consists of noteworthy, but still somewhat superficial things. Doing See MEMORIES, Page 5

five-star city. Well, from what I read in the paper, from my personal experience and from what I heard at the City Council candidate forum last Wednesday night, he hasn’t made it yet. My evaluation would be no more than three stars, probably somewhat less.

In my own issue, I spent more than four months asking for a footnote in a zoning district.

Whether my request is justified and whether the city will do it or not is not the point. The point is that I have been stonewalled from day one. No answer at all.

Is that the behavior of a fivestar city? I may not have said out loud, “I want an answer to my question,” but certainly my continued queries would indicate I expected an answer. In a fivestar city, I would have received something.

Wednesday’s candidate forum was interesting in that several candidates said the citizens they talked to felt unheard by the council and the city. When you give feedback about a website, an automated response comes back saying, “We heard you.” It seems to me that the city could do the same. It’s not an agreement or a promise to do anything, it’s simply a, “Thank you for your interest in what goes on in the city.” In a five-star city, this would happen.

So, I hope the new City Council members will take to heart what they have heard in talking to citizens, and even in the forums, and encourage Mayor Butler and his administration to thank citizens when they offer some input into the running of the city. This will go a long way to moving the city toward a five-star rating.

Start times are way too early for students

Sophie Ossorio

I am a sophomore at Liberty High School. I feel that the secondary school start times are way too early for students. Myself as well as many other students and teachers see effects of these early start times on a daily basis, especially lack of sleep.

Many students including myself take Advanced Placement courses and other advanced classes that include lots of outside homework time. Since students often have other activities like sports and clubs, they often stay up at night working on homework and then have to leave ridiculously early in the morning to get to school.

Personally, my bus comes at 6:44 a.m. and with a 15-minute walk to my bus stop, I have to leave my house at 6:30 just to get there. When I was in sixth grade, the times were so hard on me that I chose to take online science classes in seventh and eighth grade so I would be able to come to school later.

The situation is even worse for the school staff members, who often live far from the school.

Often in class, the stereotypical “sleeping on the desk” is a reality because of these start times.

I am hoping that soon there can be the implementation of later start times, like the Bellevue, Mercer Island, Northshore and Seattle school districts. Even though I probably won’t be seeing the affects of the later start times, since I’m doing Running Start next year, I hope future students won’t have to deal with the early times.

Tim Flood’s traffic plan is front and center of campaign This “transportation plan,” which by the way includes many a nontransportation project, is nothing more than a candidate’s own prioritization of a bigger already existing project list. To

present it as a transportation list is misleading voters even if it includes many worthy projects.

And presenting it as something costing half as much as a city plan is simply dropping the remaining needed projects and pretending it will fix things more cheaply. City proposal via Agenda Bill was $75 million. A bond this big ($119 million as stated) would put close to $620/year extra taxes on a $500K home based on city numbers for a $75 million bond. A HUGE increase in both cases, a nearly 13 percent tax increase!

Will our senior citizens be able to afford this? Very unlikely nor would many others who struggle paycheck to paycheck. I couldn’t vote for the city $75 million proposed bond let alone something

this huge. Why should taxpayers foot the bill for this entire package when council created the problem by not raising fees on developers many years ago?

There is one thing I can agree with and that is the need to slow down the development train, but voters should consider the credibility of a candidate with a “fixit” plan that is not well-thought out, presented in a misleading fashion with a catchy phrase that then expects citizens to foot the bill. It is easy to vote NO on this large tax plan. Just vote for the most experienced and best qualified candidate, Bill Ramos. Bill has the needed experience to lead the change we need on the council.

Forum from page 1

At one point, Reh said residents have told him it’s too late for the CIP or any scheme to do any good, that the flavor of old Issaquah already is gone.

Regarding traffic, Flood tried to make a splash, touting his own “Address the Mess” proposal. Flood said his plan consists of the most significant and urgent traffic projects from the city’s six-year Transportation Improvement Plan. He noted that with a price tag of about $153 million, his traffic solution is significantly less expensive than the city’s concurrency plan.

“The reason it costs less is it’s more focused,” Flood said.

Ramos criticized the plan as developed by one person, someone who has little to no experience with traffic planning.

Winterstein, one of the authors of the concurrency plan as well as the CIP, probably took the most direct and indirect shots from Reh and Flood. He sparred a bit with Reh over whether the impact fees paid by developers are enough to pay for Issaquah’s growing infrastructure needs.

The council advertised the concurrency plan as containing major increases in impact fees at the time it was passed,

IF YOU GO The next candidate forum is at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 20, at Providence Point Town Hall, 4135 Providence Point Drive S.E. a theme Winterstein picked up again during the forum. He said those fees were far too low when he took office and increasing them became a priority.

Winterstein also talked about the formation of a new citizen’s advisory committee on traffic, an idea that won endorsements from several of the council contenders.

Candidate Jennifer Sutton is running unopposed for the Position 2 council seat currently held by Councilwoman Nina Milligan, who chose not to run for re-election. Despite having no opposition and being guaranteed a spot on the next council, Sutton took part in the Sept.

30 forum.

“I have a deep belief in public service,” she said in introducing herself and explaining why she wants to serve on council.

“I will listen to your concerns and work to create a healthy Issaquah,” Sutton added.

In further comments, she said that “healthy” to her means maintaining as much green space as possible and finding ways for people to get around the city in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable cost.

Reh from page 4

some residents have questioned — the city’s conclusion that the traffic impact from Atlas will be minimal.

“That just doesn’t pass the reasonability test,” Reh added.

Reh said City Hall seems to have some kind of agenda not fully shared with the public.

“Anything outside that agenda gets ignored,” he said.

Winterstein from page 1

determination of nonsigificance, that at four out of five intersections looked at, studies concluded cars coming and going from Atlas would add less than one second of delay. The story also noted developers must put in a new traffic signal at Seventh Avenue Northwest and Gilman.

Winterstein was asked about the city’s traffic concurrency plan.

“Concurrency is a program for enhancing our

Talking specifically about traffic, Reh is not sold on the city’s $308 million traffic concurrency plan that is supposed to link new street projects with new development. Reh said the plan assumes a 10 percent reduction in traffic projections based on increases in the use of nonmotorized transportation — such as biking and mass transit.

Again, he said that just doesn’t pass his reasonability test.

In addition to traffic and development, Reh said he believes the city has one other major issue about which no one is talking.

He said property crimes and thefts from cars are on the rise and he fears those numbers only are going to get worse. He said Issaquah’s policing model is based on a city filled with single-family homes.

But Issaquah has a growth plan with an emphasis on apartments and multifamily residences. The two obviously don’t meld together, he said.

“The city needs to get in front of this issue now,” he said, adding that he fears that five years from now, crime might be as big a problem as traffic is today.

In summing up his posi-

tions, Reh returned to his contention that City Hall has lost its connection with residents. He said the attitude of officials and staff members seems out of whack, that they have forgotten they work for the residents and not for developers.

Reh, 55, has a Master’s of Business Administration from Seattle University and earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of Washington. He works as a state and local government management consultant.

Reh is married with two children.

transportation and parks infrastructure to accommodate the increased needs brought on by development,” he wrote in an email.

“Such enhancements are required to be made ‘concurrent’ with the development… The concurrency plan council adopted earlier this year boldly addresses key existing deficiencies in our transportation infrastructure plus growth-driven demand over the next 15 years. That includes a 10 percent growth in pedestrian, bicycle, carpool, and transit trips.”

Answering a question regarding the upcoming crosswalk study commis-

sioned by the mayor’s office, Winterstein said the administration has the ability to respond quickly to the coming study of crosswalks throughout the city.

“I also expect to see a request for more funds in the mayor’s 2016 budget and I can assure you that that request will get priority attention from the council,” he wrote. “And let’s be clear. Issaquah is not in a citywide state of emergency when it comes to safety. Yes, we can and will do more to improve many areas. But we don’t have unlimited funds, so thorough, thoughtful evaluations and prioritizing is

the smart way to manage the citizens’ money.”

Outside of traffic and growth, what else is on Winterstein’s mind?

“Preserving and nurturing Issaquah’s unique character is and always will be important. We are so fortunate to have a thriving outdoor scene, vitality in the visual and performing arts, an amazing caring community best exemplified by the lives transformed by the Food and Clothing Bank, and other phenomenal cultural aspects,” Winterstein wrote.

Winterstein, 54, works as a software product manager. He is married with four children.

Sandra Jean Flynn Sandra “Sandy” Jean Flynn, of Sammamish, passed away WednesSandra Flynn day, Sept.

28, 2015, in Seattle at the age of 64.

Sandy was born June 21, 1951, in Jackson, Michigan, to Richard C. Gray and Dorothy Jean Kelley. She was raised in Jackson, where she graduated from Parkside High School. Sandy continued her education at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, where she met her husband.

Sandy and Mark were married on Dec. 2, 1972.

They moved from Michigan to Washington in 1980 for a one-year temporary assignment at the Hanford Project. They fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and in 1981, they relocated to the Issaquah area permanently.

Sandy established her professional career in real estate, where she found her ultimate love

for working with the senior community. Throughout her career she worked with Providence Point Properties, John L. Scott and Coldwell Banker Bain. Sandy was instrumental in the initial planning and creation of the Providence Point community, and has dedicated herself to its success and residents for more than 30 years.

Her professional memberships and awards included American Association of Realtors, Seattle King County Association of Realtors and Senior Real Estate Specialists.

She has been voted the 5 Star Rating and Best in Client Satisfaction in the Seattle area by her clients.

Sandy’s greatest love was her family and helping others. She and Mark were married for 42 remarkable years and they were blessed with three children and seven beautiful grandchildren. She had a special place in her heart for each and every one. The family shared an exceptionally close relationship.

Sandy’s most treasured escape was at the fam-

ily cabin on Lake Cushman. It was there that she found the time to relax and unwind from her busy schedule and enjoy special moments with family, friends and beloved family pet “Jaxon Boy.” Listening to music, dancing, playing games, having a glass of wine and spoiling her grandkids were just a few of the many things that Sandy loved.

Sandy was the core of her immediate and extended family and was a devoted wife, mother, Grammie, daughter, sister and friend. She touched every person she came in contact with through her giving and kind-hearted spirit. Her radiant smile, musical laugh and beautiful disposition will be treasured in our hearts forever.

Sandy was preceded in death by her father Richard Charles Gray.

Survivors include her loving husband H. Mark Flynn Jr., of Sammamish; three children, Kelly Blumhagen, her husband Karl, children Preston and Emry, H. Mark Flynn III, his wife Alyssa, children Trenton, Logan and Timothy, Katie Sherman, her husband Nate, children Elliott and

Military News Anthony Roy graduates from cadet leader course

O bituaries

The Issaquah Press

41.13629.SR.Q

Anthony S. Roy, an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet at Gonzaga University, has graduated from the Cadet Leader Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Roy is the son of Pamela M. Roy, of Bellevue.

He is a 2012 graduate of Eastside Catholic High School.

The course is a 30-day summer training event focused on training cadets to solve complex leadership issues and problems at the company level.

Cadets arrive at CLC with a baseline of military skill sets; cadets also have developed critical thinking and problemsolving abilities during the academic years. CLC builds upon the work accomplished on campus and develops a cadet’s small-unit leadership ability in a tactical environment.

The leadership experience supports continued cadet development during the senior year of the program. Cadets usually attend CLC between their junior and senior years of college, and they must complete the course to qualify for commissioning. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve.

Beaver Lake to receive 2,500 large rainbow trout Anglers will soon have an opportunity to catch large trout this fall in Beaver Lake, thanks to the release of about 2,500 hatchery rainbows averaging about two pounds each.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will release the fish Oct. 14. To facilitate fish planting, the agency will close the Beaver Lake access site at sunset Oct. 13 and reopen the site at sunrise Oct. 15. Beaver Lake, however, will remain open

to fishing while the access site is closed.

The trout are part of an educational display at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery.

The department releases trout into Beaver Lake each year to enhance recreational opportunity, said Justin Spinelli, fishery biologist for the department.

Beaver Lake is best fished by small boat, although anglers also can be successful fishing from shore, Spinelli said.

The access site is most

easily reached by way of East Beaver Lake Drive Southeast, off Southeast 24th Street in Sammamish.

Learn more about fishing and access at Beaver Lake at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/washington.

Parking for vehicles and boat trailers is limited, and a valid WDFW Vehicle Access Pass or Discover Pass must be visible in vehicles parked at the access site.

Learn more about the Vehicle Access Pass and the Discover Pass at http://

wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/discoverpass.

Beaver Lake is one of several lowland lakes in Western Washington open to fishing year round. The use of internal-combustion boat engines is prohibited on the lake. All anglers 15 and older are required to have a valid fishing license.

The daily limit is five fish, only two of which can exceed 15 inches in length. Get details in the sport fishing rules pamphlet at http://wdfw. wa.gov/fishing/regulations.

The Liberty High School doubles tennis team of Colby and Calvin Vuong compete in a match against Sammamish on Sept. 22. The Vuongs won in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0.

Patriots roundup

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com The Liberty girls soccer team dropped its first match of the season, falling to an undefeated Mercer Island squad, 1-0, Oct. 1.

Earlier that week, the Patriots defeated Bellevue, 2-0. Freshman Cameron Nelson scored in the 23rd minute. Maddy Mak had the assist. Sophomore Makenna Carr added an unassisted goal in the 59th minute. Goalkeepers Sydney Argosino and Jasmine Curl combined for the shutout.

As of press time, Liberty’s 3-1-1 Class 3A/2A Conference record and 10 points, were good for third place, behind leagueleading Mercer Island and Bellevue.

Football The Patriots dropped their second straight game to fall to 3-2 on the season. Mercer Island defeated the visiting Liberty squad, 26-21, Oct. 2.

Liberty went into halftime, leading, 14-13.

The Patriots maintained a 21-20 lead through the third quarter, but the Mercer Island comeback was complete, after the Islanders scored with less than a minute left.

The Patriots next host Sammamish Oct. 9. Last year, Sammamish stunned the Patriots, a week after the Totems had to forfeit a game due to low numbers.

Liberty certainly hopes the outcome is different this year, but once again, Sammamish is coming into the game after forfeiting to Juanita last week because they did not have enough players.

Girls swimming and diving For the second straight year, Liberty defeated Issaquah in the pool. The girls swimming and diving team made school history last year when they beat the Eagles for the first time ever. Liberty won, 98-81, at Julius Boehm Pool Sept. 29.

Senior Ellie Hohensinner and sophomore Abby Russell led the team with two individual wins each.

Proceeds from the event go to the BellevueIssaquah Chapter of Trout Unlimited, which is working to save the fish in Lake Sammamish.

The course is a 5K loop that includes paved paths

styles, while Russell took the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke.

Sydney Hartford won the 100-yard freestyle and Lauryn Hepp captured the 100-yard backstroke.

Liberty also won the 200-yard and 400-yard freestyle relays.

Boys tennis Liberty went 1-1 last week, defeating Juanita, 6-1, before falling to Lake Washington, 4-3.

Singles players Marek Pierepiekarz, Cody Hughes and Marco Sobrino picked up wins against Juanita, as did doubles teams Ethan and Bryan Le, Calvin and Colby Vuong and Nathan Yan and Naoki Lucas.

Sobrino was the only singles player to get a win against Lake Washington.

The Les and Vuongs had the other two Liberty wins that day.

Liberty was set to play rival Issaquah Oct. 2, but the match was rained out.

Volleyball Liberty defeated Sammamish, 3-0, Sept. 29.

Carlie Wick led the Patriots with five kills, Kayla Wiscomb had a teamleading three aces and Emily Skinner came up with 10 assists.

Later that week, Liberty fell to Interlake, 3-0. Skinner had three aces and a team-leading 11 assists.

Cross-country Bellevue defeated both Liberty boys and girls teams Sept. 30.

On the boys side, freshman Rory McClelland, who placed ninth, was Liberty’s top finisher.

For the girls, it was Tyra Christopherson, who finished fourth.

Boys golf Liberty defeated Sammamish, 183-190, Sept. 28. Liberty’s Chase McIntosh was the match medalist.

Sometimes, the direct route to goal is the most effective way of scoring, and the Mount Si Wildcats made the most of their free-kick and cornerkick chances.

Natalie Weidenbach scored on a first-half free kick, and teammate Miranda Fischer redirected a corner kick into the goal early in the second half, propelling the Wildcats to a 2-1 victory over the Skyline Spartans in a Class 4A KingCo Conference girls soccer match Sept. 29 at Skyline High School.

It was an important win for the Wildcats, who bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Redmond and evened their KingCo record at 1-1.

“The top three teams right now are Eastlake, Skyline and Issaquah, so beating one of them is going to help us with momentum,” said Weidenbach, a junior captain. “We really needed that, especially after losing to Redmond, and now I’m just ready to get on with them. I think we’re one of the contenders that can make it to playoffs.”

Conversely, it was a difficult loss for Skyline, which fell to 1-1 in KingCo. Each team plays eight conference games, with six of nine squads making the playoffs, and that magnifies the importance of each match.

Coach Don Braman said he was pleased with many aspects of Skyline’s performance, but the Spartans made two defensive mistakes and failed to convert enough of their own chances.

They outshot the Wildcats, 24-10.

“I was really impressed with the speed of transition there, and the passing was excellent – it was all really quick, like we want to play,” Braman said. “And then for whatever reason, we go away from that sometimes. It’s disappointing when we create opportunities and we don’t finish the way that we need to.”

Skyline peppered the Mount Si goal throughout the match, but senior goalkeeper Nellie Joselyn came up with nine saves, including a tremendous one-handed stop on Lindsey Fujiwara’s stinging drive late in second-half stoppage time.

The Wildcats’ defense bent but didn’t break, and Joselyn credited her teammates for preserving the win.

“Honestly, it had a lot to do with

She was giving it everything that she had.”

Skyline’s Alessandra Zonta nearly scored in the 10th minute after stealing the ball and breaking into the penalty area. But her shot glanced off the near-side post.

Mount Si had a 12th-minute goal negated by the offside flag, but Weidenbach put her team in front in the 26th minute when she snuck a 20-yard free kick under two defenders and past diving goalkeeper Anna Smith.

“I heard the people in the wall go, ‘Let’s start jumping,’” Weidenbach explained. “So I was like, ‘OK, near post on the ground sounds like a good idea.’ I was just hoping I’d time it right so I wouldn’t hit their feet.”

The 1-0 lead nearly lasted until halftime, but Skyline struck for the equalizer in the 39th minute when

Emma Rohleder collected a long ball down the left sideline and crossed to Julia Mitchell, who one-touched a shot past Joselyn.

But the Wildcats responded just two minutes into the second half.

Makayla Turpin’s corner kick from the right side found an unmarked Fischer at the near post, and Fischer buried her chance.

Skyline’s defensive group, which is comprised almost entirely of firstyear varsity players, wasn’t to blame for the two goals allowed, Braman said.

“You look at the goals we give up today, that’s not about my back four.

That’s about our response on set pieces.

“We really like the contributions they’re making,” he said of the Spartans’ back line. “They’re talking well, they’re adjusting and they’re working as a unit. We just need some maturity. … The more we work together, the more that’ll come.”

Spartans remain undeafeated in football Football 4Skyline High School maintained its grasp on first place in Class 4A KingCo Conference football, using five first-half touchdowns to dominate the visiting Redmond Mustangs, 46-14, in an Oct. 2 outing.

Quarterback Blake Gregory connected on firsthalf touchdown passes of 62 yards to Jake Pendergast and 1 yard to Rashaad Boddie, and Danny Sinatro had a 27-yard interception return TD as the Spartans (5-0 KingCo) led 37-7 at the half. Kicker Jack Crane made field goals of 30, 39 and 24 yards.

Skyline takes a week off from conference play and travels to Graham-Kapowsin Oct. 8. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Art Crate Field in Spanaway.

4Issaquah couldn’t stop Olympia running back Scott Gunther, who tore through the Eagles’ defense for 267 yards and four touchdowns, and the Bears moved to 5-0 with a 32-14 victory on Oct. 2 in a nonleague contest at Olympia’s Ingersoll Stadium.

Issaquah quarterback

Cam Humphrey finished the night 20 of 38 passing for 240 yards, two TDs and one interception. He tossed a 5-yard score to Joe Nelson that got Issaquah within 15-6 at halftime, and the pair hooked up on a 13-yard TD that trimmed Olympia’s lead to 22-14 in the third quarter.

The Eagles (2-3 overall, 2-2 KingCo) return to conference play at 7 p.m.

Oct. 9 when they travel to Newport.

Girls soccer 4Issaquah earned a pair of shutout victories last week in KingCo girls soccer action, beating host Redmond 3-0 on Sept. 29 and visiting Woodinville 4-0 on Oct. 1.

The Eagles (7-0-2 overall, 3-0 KingCo) got two goals from midfielder Claudia Longo and one from forward Catey Nelson to defeat Redmond. Against Woodinville, defender Madison Phan had two second-half goals to polish off the win after Alina Ruzicka and Longo scored in the first half.

Issaquah hosts unbeaten Inglemoor at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 8.
