Darigold, Costco ask council to rethink B&O tax increase
Changes could be coming to proposal By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com A few prominent Issaquah businesses are asking the city to rethink a business and occupation tax increase included in Mayor Fred Butler’s 2015 budget proposal. Representatives from Costco, Darigold and the Issaquah Cham-
ber of Commerce attended a Nov. 3 Issaquah City Council public hearing, where they offered similar concerns about the effect an increased tax rate would have on the business community. “The magnitude of a 150 percent increase over a two-year period, especially for a business with high gross sales but low profit margins, is aggressive. It’s very aggressive,” chamber CEO Matthew Bott said. The proposal would increase B&O taxes for manufacturing, wholesale and retail companies
from 0.0008 to 0.0015 effective April 1, 2015, and 0.002 effective Jan. 1, 2017. B&O taxes for printing/publishing, retail services and services/ other would go from 0.001 to 0.0012 effective April 1, 2015. Under the proposal, more than 30 percent of those who do business in Issaquah (with gross incomes of $100,000 or less) would be exempt, which creates tangible efficiencies, Butler told the council upon the budget’s introduction Oct. 6. The current exemption is set at $20,000.
“Meanwhile, larger companies would pay a higher rate for the first time since the tax was created in 2004,” Butler said. The proposed increase will account for the volatility of one of the city’s major revenue sources — sales and use taxes — which is heavily dependent on consumer spending, he added. Darigold tax director Sharon Appelt said the increase would have a significant impact on the company’s Issaquah facility, which makes cultured products such as cottage cheese and sour cream.
RECEIVING LONG-OVERDUE HONORS
By Greg Farrar
Charles Runacres Jr., 97, is presented an American flag pin Nov. 7 by Thomas Ortung, chaplain for Providence Hospice of Seattle, in front of friends and family members in the Briarwood nursing home, at Timber Ridge in the Talus neighborhood.
Charles Runacres Jr., 97, recognized for service By Kathleen R. Merrill editor@isspress.com One would think that a ceremony to honor a 97-year-old World War II veteran wouldn’t be a laughing matter, but it was filled with it. The laughter started when Charles Runacres Jr. cut off some planned musical selections less than halfway into the first song, “Anchors Aweigh.” “I think that’s enough,” Runacres said matter-of-factly, bringing a burst of laughter from his family members who came to the ceremony. The laughter continued a few minutes later when Runacres interrupted chaplain Thomas Ortung, who was trying to thank him for his military service. “Do I get to say a few words?” Runacres asked with a wave of his hand, and then talked at length about entering the service. “You served three years and three months,” Doris Runacres said, interrupting her husband after he had been talking for a while. “Yeah, and you’ve only gotten through the first month,”

their daughter Randall Start said, to another eruption of laughter. There were a few quiet and solemn moments, like the one that happened when Ortung thanked Runacres for his service and tacked a flag pin into the lapel of the dapper veteran’s suit jacket. “…Thank you for the sacrifices you made and your willingness to serve our country,” Ortung said. “You endured hardships and you were willing to risk your life to maintain our freedom.” You could also hear a pin drop while Runacres held court in a dayroom in Briarwood, the nursing home at Timber Ridge, See PINNING, Page 3

VFW, Liberty NJROTC gets Gordon Schumacher his flag By Kathleen R. Merrill editor@isspress.com A group of Liberty High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps students gave up a sunny Saturday to honor a 91-year-old World War II veteran on his birthday. And they wouldn’t have had it any other way. Emily Magley and Tina Kaiser learned how to properly fold
a flag into a triangle, and they practiced it multiple times before the ceremony where they presented it to Gordon Schumacher.

Appelt estimated that the Issaquah plant’s B&O payments would nearly double, from $200,000 to about $400,000, under the proposed tax structure. “Every little notch you take out of the margin puts that plant more at risk for its operations,” she said. She asked the City Council to understand the impact the increase would have on local businesses and to consider some See TAX, Page 15
High school girls invited to attend Fight the Fear Singer Brandi Carlile will join two Issaquah educators at a special event aimed at teaching high school girls self-defense and self-empowerment Nov. 13. Empowering girls is a passion for the event organizers, Meggan Atkins, a Maywood Middle School teacher, and Karin Walen, an Issaquah High School teacher. The two offer self-defense classes at Issaquah and Liberty high schools. They were inspired after attending Carlile’s Fight the Fear campaign kickoff in 2010. The program provides training in basic self-defense skills and offers resources to survivors of violence or abuse. Carlile’s goal is to make self-defense available to as many people as possible. “We fully believe in what we are doing,” Walen said in a news release. “We love teaching the class. We get the opportunity to see the positive effects our class has on the girls.” Carlile is expected to speak at the event, along with Jennifer Hopper, a survivor of a 2009 attack in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood. “We were amazed by Jennifer’s bravery and resilience, and were inspired to help with the (Fight the Fear) program in any way we could,” Atkins said in an email. At the free Nov. 13 event open to all Issaquah School District high school girls, attendees will receive self-defense training, as well as sexual assault awareness and prevention education. It goes from 6-8 p.m. in the Issaquah High School theater, 700 Second Ave. S.E. Interested students should pick up forms at the front office of their high schools.

Merry Christmas Issaquah supports important need By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com By all outward appearances, Issaquah and its surroundings seem quite affluent. Yet, there are still lines at the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank, and a steady stream of aid requests coming into local organizations. The volunteers at Issaquah Community Services know all too well the real need that exists in this community. “Helping nearly 500 families get by every single year is the sole reason why we exist,” Lori Birrell, ICS board president, said. Issaquah Community Services offers emergency financial aid to residents of the Issaquah School District in the form of utility payments, rent assistance and other miscellaneous contributions, depending on a client’s specific need. Last year, the nonprofit organization helped 199 families avoid eviction and kept the lights and/or water on for an additional 187 families. Issaquah Community Services is maintained by a group of volunteer citizens looking to give back to their community, Birrell said. It’s rewarding, she said, to see a client’s face when the organization is able to help. But it’s also emotionally draining to see these

families at their worst. The need for support has never been greater. Two veteran volunteers who have served for more than 20 years said at a Friday board meeting that they experienced the most heart-wrenching week they’ve ever faced, Birrell said. “They said this last week was the hardest week they have ever seen,” she said. “We are getting families coming that are so desperate, they have completely exhausted everything.” Merry Christmas Issaquah is the organization’s most important fundraiser all year. Organizers set a $100,000 goal for 2014. The fundraiser — spearheaded by The Issaquah Press since 1981 — set a record for the number of donors last year with 254, collecting nearly $86,000, surpassing the 2013 goal of $75,000. Issaquah Community Services receives about 500 requests for emergency aid each year. The organization currently has an annual budget of just more than $100,000. The nonprofit is maintained by a team of volunteers, allowing nearly every penny donated to go directly to the families in need. The Merry Christmas Issaquah holiday fundraising drive accounts for about 80 percent of Issaquah Com-
munity Services’ annual budget. The fund has received more than $875,000 in donations since its inception.

Police search for home-invasion robber Police are searching for a man who committed a home invasion robbery Nov. 9. The man knocked on the door of a home in the 400 block of Newport Way Northwest at 9:30 p.m. and then forced his way in when the residents answered the door. The man had a black handgun. While he began searching the home for valuables, the residents left and ran west on Newport

to tell stories about his role in the war. Runacres, born Sept. 17, 1917, entered the Navy from Stanford University. The valedictorian of his high school class had gone to work for two years before going to college. He was assigned to a new class of destroyer, designed to protect the fleet as it was deployed somewhere. There were about 20 ships in the fleet in which he served. “The Japanese decided that was the worst thing for them,” Runacres recalled. “You could carry the battle 400 miles away and distance didn’t mean a thing.”
Way Northwest. The man briefly chased them. When he stopped, they called 911 from a nearby home. Issaquah police and a Redmond police dog searched the area, but did not locate the man. The suspect is described as a black man in his 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a slender build, short hair and an accent. He wore a black jacket and black cargo pants.
To stay safe at home: • Do not allow strangers inside, even if they say they are hurt or need help. Keep the door locked and call police. • Don’t be afraid to call the police to investigate suspicious circumstances, unusual people or strange noises. If you see something, say something. • At night, keep outdoor lights on, curtains or shades closed, and doors and windows locked.
• If you arrive home and your door is open or things appear to be out of place, don’t go inside. Leave immediately and call police from a safe place. • Never give information to an unknown caller. Report nuisance calls to police and your service provider. If you think you have information about the robbery, call the Issaquah Police Department at 837-3200 or the tip line at 837-3210.
when he saw all of the people at his birthday party. He smiled even wider when he saw the teens come out of a room where they had been hidden and begin their color guard duties. The second he saw a uniform, he tried to struggle from his wheelchair to his feet. “He will want to stand, because he thinks everyone should stand when they see people who have served,” his son Dale Schumacher said before his father was wheeled into the room. Stand he did, with his sons Dale and Dean at his sides. And he remained standing through the presentation of the flag, sitting only after Waggoner handed it to him. “Well, it’s good I got my flag now, before I died,” Gordon Schumacher said
with another wide smile. He chatted with the students as they came to him after the ceremony, one by one shaking his hand and thanking him for his military service. On a nearby table sat memorabilia he had brought back from Germany, including a Walther PPK, a steel helmet, Nazi armbands and a rock from the building where Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide. Members of Schumacher’s extended family crowded around the table to look at a book from his Army training class and the other items there — his dogtags, numerous medals he earned (including a Bronze Star) and a shovel he used to dig foxholes. “I’ve always wanted to see this stuff,” a teenage
granddaughter exclaimed. That same teen later cried throughout the flag presentation. In all, there were five generations present for the birthdayparty-turned-honor. Gordon Schumacher was also given a quilt by Kathy Beach, from Quilts of Honor, a volunteer organization that makes and presents the blankets to veterans across the country. He covered his lap with it while watching Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks game on television. The ceremony was organized after Gordon Schumacher’s Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., was canceled because he was not well enough to go. Honor Flight takes veterans to memorials free of charge, and has been focusing on World War II veterans.
Thankfully, his ship, the USS Wedderburn, didn’t suffer any casualties during the war. “I felt that the hand of the Lord was on us during the battles,” he said. He also lived through three typhoons on the ship, with waves that he estimated were 50 feet high. “One of them sunk three destroyers,” he said, and then paused to think. He saw another ship be blown up and the flames were 100 feet high, he said. He was a supply officer and also was an assistant machine gunner in command of a gun section. He laughed when asked about his best memory of his time in service. “Termination,” he said, laughing some more, before adding a comment about the third and final
typhoon he experienced. “I thought, I suppose we’ll get sunk, and I have my orders to go home,” he said with a chuckle. “But it didn’t happen that way.” But Runacres is serious about how people treat veterans who have gone to war. “What does it mean to lose a brother, or son or a father?” he asked. “How can you measure that?” Doris and Charles didn’t know each other while he was in the service. They met later, and have been married for 65 years. Military service seems to run in the family. Their daughter Randall was in the Army for four years. Her great-aunt was a WAC. Doris’ dad served in World War I. Ortung, of Providence Hospice of Seattle, which organized the ceremony, said
the pinning service is important to him. He has been a full-time hospice chaplain for about six years. “It’s so good to be able to honor and affirm our vets,” Ortung said before pinning Runacres. “In some instances, that can be the last thank you people hear, and for some, it’s the first thank you they’ve ever heard,” he said of the about a dozen military pinning ceremonies he has performed. “I think you can’t do enough for the living veterans. We owe them a lot,” Runacres said, adding that the first thing that should be changed is their pay. “How much would you ask in peacetime if they would sell chances to shoot you one shot? The pay should equal the risk. That should be the first stop.”

he city had proposed a 150 percent increase in the city’s B&O tax to add $1 million to the budget’s general fund for 2015. The increase was to be phased in over the next two years with the first phase to be implemented April 1. Many businesses in the city felt the increase was too large, and representatives of three of those businesses — Darigold, Costco and Evergreen Ford/Lincoln — spoke at the Nov. 3 council meeting about the impact the increase would have on their businesses. Hearing the impact the proposed rates would have on just those three businesses, it became clear the majority of the $1 million increase in revenue would come from only a handful of local businesses. In the budget workshop the following evening, Councilwoman Mary Lou Pauly proposed reducing the B&O tax increase to just 50 percent based on the input from local business leaders. The entire council agreed after some discussion that the 50 percent increase would be more appropriate. One council member, Joshua Schaer, said he wished the council could put the decision on the B&O tax increase off for a year to be able to consider it in more detail rather than ram it through with the 2015 budget. While a 50 percent increase is better than a 150 percent increase, the larger question should be is whether an increase is necessary at all. On average from 2012-2014, the general fund grew every year by 7.1 percent. The city is proposing a 6.7 percent increase in the general fund from 2014 for the 2015 budget, and claims the increase in the B&O tax is necessary to accomplish this. But recent history would suggest the general fund should grow organically at a higher rate if the 7.1 percent growth rate continues without the increase in the B&O tax. Two revenue sources in the general fund, sales tax and building permit fees, have grown at 9 percent and 41.5 percent, respectively, from 2012-2014. Yet for some unexplained reason both of these revenue categories have been budgeted to experience no growth in 2015. If sales tax grows at 9 percent and building permit fees grew at just 20 percent in 2015, the city would have more than the $1 million increase in the general fund it seeks from the increase in the B&O tax. The city may have valid reasons for projecting no growth in sales tax and building permit fees. But if growth from these revenue sources is likely, the council should grant Schaer’s wish and table the decision on an increase in B&O tax for at least a year.

Well, similarly, Village Theatre once produced the musical “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” based on an unfinished Charles Dickens novel.

So, in the musical production, just before the big reveal, the audience actually gets to vote and one of several possible endings is then acted out. Genius. And fun for return performances.

ell, we’ve survived another election season. Now we just have to next endure the consequences of the choices made with the vote. But now that it’s over, I’ve realized I kind of liked having the power of making some pretty important choices. Which got me to thinking — what other areas of life would be better if we had a vote to determine the outcome? Here are a few of my ideas.

so I would think she should understand the consequences of her promises. I would question her hidden agenda. In conclusion, I realize this will only show up post-election, but hopefully it will encourage some voters in the future to look a little deeper into candidates and issues instead of just using emotion to vote.

Issaquah-Hobart Road parking cannot be added
Paul Beckman, your comments are well-placed (letter about safety work on Issaquah-Hobart Road in Oct. 22 issue), but the county has already increased the size of the parking lot. On the east side of 113th, parking cannot be increased because of Gleason Creek on the north, and to the south are wetlands. In 1998, the county relocated Gleason Creek so that it now runs southwest on the west side of 113th through an open space area, precluding adding parking to this area.

Thank you
‘Driven To Give’ event was a success
On behalf of the Eastside Baby Corner board of directors, volunteers and staff, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who participated in the “Driven to Give” event to benefit Eastside Baby Corner. Local kids will have a better start in life because of the generosity of the event donors, and the new toys from the Toys for Kids foundation will fill birthday bags for months to come. We truly cannot meet our mission of providing the basic necessities for children birth to age 12 in King County without our community coming together and supporting us. Thank you to everyone that made this possible!

was up and braced, and several loose boards had been nailed back in their homes again. He brought the can of paint out of his truck and started painting it the same light green it had always been. Inside the house, Mrs. Morris looked out upon the wonder of a reconditioned shed in her back yard. She picked up the phone. “Mr. Johnson? This is Mrs. Morris. That’s right. Look, I know I’d asked you to take down my old shed, but I’ve changed my mind. No, I don’t think the old shed will fall on anyone. Thanks so much anyway.” Nothing like a good helping day, Windy thought, rinsing out his paint brush and dancing a little jig carrying the tools back to his pickup. Nothing like it.

Signs of a root beer lover
Wine Walk returns to Gilman Village on Nov. 20
UK man gets 18 of the biggest names in motor sports to sign Triple XXX shirt By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com Steve Osmond really likes root beer, and Seattle Children’s will be the beneficiary of his passion. It all started over the summer with a T-shirt. The 54-year-old British citizen’s jones for the juice is especially legendary among fellow motor heads, even those here in the U.S. The Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in is especially renowned for its root beer — the Coca-Cola Co. makes a specific brew for the Issaquah restaurant that can’t be found anywhere else. Luckily for Osmond, a vehicle examiner in Minsteron-sea and Sheerness, towns in Kent, England, he had an inside connection to the Triple XXX’s brew — Gary Estes. Estes is a regular at the restaurant’s car shows and also a member of the Hancock and Lane Stock and Comp Eliminator
team from Seattle, whom Osmond has known since 1988. “Estes, a regular at The Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in presented me with a XXX Root Beer T-shirt,” Osmond wrote in an email. “They (Gary and restaurant owner José Enciso) wanted me to wear this thing at famous places in London and send them back photos of myself wearing it.” Osmond decided to take the offer to an unexpected level. He brought the shirt with him in July to Lord March’s estate in West Sussex for the Goodwood Festival Of Speed Week, where he has been an invited media member since 2006. “There is nothing like this event anywhere in the world that it could be compared to. It’s a petrol head’s dream,” Osmond said. See ROOTBEER,

O bituaries John Walter Bonomi John Walter Bonomi was born Jan. 9, 1951, in Renton, and died Nov. 1, 2014, in John Bonomi Fairbanks, Alaska. John was the oldest of three sons born to Walter Bonomi and Sandra Croppi Bonomi. Growing up on a dairy farm in Issaquah, he acquired lifelong passions for fishing, hunting, music and gardening. He loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed mushroom picking alongside his mother. At an early age, John trained on the accordion, was schooled by renowned accordionist Stan Boreson and later played alongside notable entertainer Al Yankovic. He graduated from Issaquah High School in 1969. In the early ’70s, after attending Central Washington College in Ellensburg, he ventured north to Alaska seeking out an oil pipeline job. After finding his way to Fairbanks, he instead found work in a local restaurant and discovered how much he enjoyed entertaining

audiences with his accordion music. Later in life, John produced and recorded many of his favorite songs from past performances. Several years later, John returned to Issaquah, where he met and married Carol Moose, the mother of his son John Bonomi Jr. born in 1979. John raised his boy in Issaquah so he could experience life on the family farm and nourish in him the same love of nature he cherished. In 2009, John met his future wife Sheryl Ann “Sheri� Olson while performing at a local senior center where she was employed. They were married the same year and moved to Fairbanks. John was extremely proud of his Italian heritage and enjoyed sharing the Bonomi family story, which spanned two continents and led to acquiring their farm on the Issaquah Hobart Road in 1908. John was preceded in death by his father Walter Joseph Bonomi in 1982. He is survived by his wife Sheri; son John Jr.; mother Sandra; two brothers, Angelo and Walter; nephew Dominic Bonomi; niece Regina Bonomi Teets; and many uncles, aunts and cousins.

He was born in Cadillac, Michigan, on March 26, 1937, attended schools in LeRoy, Michigan, and received a Bachelor of Science from Western Michigan University. He was employed as an engineer by United Airlines and The Boeing Co. throughout his career. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Marty; his brother Alan (Marilyn); son Eric (Erin); son Kirt (Erika); grandchildren Robin, Maxwell and Beckham; and Erika’s sons Julian and Colin. Larry was a mountaineer, an artist, a naturalist and an adventurer. He climbed all the major peaks in Washington and spent many weeks on trails in the Pacific Northwest with his family. Marty and Larry have lived on Tiger Mountain in Issaquah for more than 40 years and have many great memories of raising their family there. Larry was very involved in the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and events leading up to the formation of the Mountains to Sound Greenway. His photography of mountains, people and all natural things has provided enjoyment for many folks. Larry was respected by all who met him. He was a great partner, father, grandfather and brother. A memorial/celebration for Larry will be held in Issaquah at a later date. Remembrances may be made to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Fund or The Nature Conservancy.

the unique piece of memorabilia, Osmond didn’t want to just mail it back to Estes and Enciso. So, in September, he boarded a plane and hopped the pond, and the whole continent, for an in-person visit to the Triple XXX. “JosĂŠ and Gary were knocked away with what I had achieved,â€? Osmond said. “It was a blast and a privilege to do this for a good cause. But it was quite a responsibility looking after the T-shirt, a big worry!â€? Enciso plans to keep the shirt safely stored until April when he plans to auction it at a meeting of the Hot Rod Hall of Fame, an event that usually attracts between 600 and 800 members. “I have no idea how much it will go for,â€?

Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park elect new officers
The last 18 Lombardi poplar trees at Veterans’ Memorial Field were delimbed Oct. 14 in preparation for their removal and replacement. What was once a windbreak of 30 poplars, between 40 and 50 years old and averaging 80 feet tall, had become old, unhealthy and potentially dangerous, according to City Arborist Alan Haywood. They are the same variety that was removed and replaced in recent years at Front Street North and Gilman Boulevard. Columnar tulip, or ‘liliodendron,’ trees will be planted in November. The city, because it is a Tree City USA, was eligible for a grant of $5,000 for the new trees from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.

But never was the issue taken before the voters with a simple question — should the city find an alternative route for traffic to unclog commuter traffic on Front Street? With a definitive measure of the pulse of the community, direct action or moving on to other important topics could have taken place much sooner with a smaller impact to the city’s budget. Of course, if the voters checked yes, they’d then have to live with the further questions of funding and environmental impact. But that’s part of the excitement of living with unintended consequences when you vote on controversial topics. Remember that the next time you cast your real ballot.

Recruit firefighters join EFR Five firefighters have been hired by Eastside Fire & Rescue to fill vacancies that exist or will happen by year’s end. “This bunch is quite diverse, very talented and certainly motivated, so we could not be happier,” Fire Chief Lee Soptich said in a news release. The five include a couple of military veterans, an experienced firefighter from a neighboring district, a former EFR volunteer and an owner of her own whitewater rafting company. “We have some people new to the industry, some have kids, all have EMT certificates, two are former business executives, welleducated recruits, and a very nice blend of life experiences,” Soptich said. The recruits will complete initial training in November. After a few shifts as the fourth person on a crew, the firefighters will take their place as members of a three-person company at one of the nine staffed stations in the EFR system. A three-year stateaccredited apprenticeship program will guide them to an eventual journeyman status. EFR employs 117 professional firefighters, 60 volunteer responders, 24 fulltime staff, two part-time employees, four volunteer chaplains and 10 support service volunteers.

Liberty cross-country teams make school history Boys and girls get third place at state By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com Mike Smith’s Liberty High School cross-country team wasn’t taking any chances. After consecutive state meet appearances where something always went wrong on the day of the race, particularly for the girls, the Patriots’ superstitions were on high alert Nov. 8 at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course. “We were doing all the jinxy things,” Smith said. “We made sure not to stand on the podium the day before, and made sure that all laces were tied eight times. We were totally superstitious at this meet.” It seemed to pay off, because, for the most part, everything went right for Liberty on a history-making day at the state crosscountry championship. Both boys and girls teams took home the first state trophies in program history, each placing third overall at the 2A level. Girls The Liberty girls crosscountry team is a small group, consisting of no more than a dozen runners, Smith estimated. As a result, so much of Smith’s focus is upon keeping his team injury-free through a long season. The team was already at a disadvantage to begin with, as top-returning runner Brigette Takeuchi, a sophomore, was out the majority of the season with an injury, while twin sister Kelsey battled through nagging injuries all the way through the state meet. That all led to what Smith called a conservative regular season, with an eye toward gearing up for a healthy state meet. “Our goal was to not get
sick or injured to the point where you couldn’t race,” he said. Under perfect racing conditions, many of Smith’s girls ran career races at the Nov. 8 2A state championship. Junior Tyra Christopherson led the pack, finishing the 3.1-mile course in a lifetime best, 19 minutes, 33.46 seconds, good for 16th overall. Teammate Carlyn Schmidgall, a junior, had her best time of the season, crossing the finish line in
19:35.20 for 18th overall. Senior Sarah Bliesner (19th overall, 19:37.55), junior Anna Malesis (42nd overall, 20:18.83), sophomore Kelsey Takeuchi (49th overall, 20:22.59), sophomore Samantha Kelderman (68th overall, 20:43.24) and senior Sydney Hopper (123rd overall, 22:17.81) rounded out the pack. “They did everything that I had asked of them See HISTORY, Page 13

Liberty sports postseason roundup By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com A change to the 2A classification is certainly looking good for Liberty High School sports, as nearly all teams are in the hunt for state recognition.

is making its first foray into the 2A playoffs, and for the most part, it’s been business as usual for the Patriots. Liberty cruised through the district tournament last week, defeating Franklin Pierce and North Kitsap to win the District 2/3 2A championship and advance to state. The Patriots will now host Sehome at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12 in the first round of the state playoffs. If Liberty wins, it’ll host the
winner of the Black Hills/ Shorecrest matchup Nov. 15. The state semifinals are Nov. 21, while the finals are Nov. 22; both are at Shoreline Stadium.

WINNING LITTLE LEAGUERS
Contributed
The Issaquah Reds won the Field of Champions 11U fall baseball league championship Oct. 20 with a come-from-behind, 8-6 win, scoring five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull ahead and capture the title. The team made up of predominantly players from the Issaquah Little League went 10-2 during the fall season. The players were (front row left to right) Ben Heigel, Blake Tefft, Liam Meyer, Stefan Gellos, Brendan Weideran, Spencer Haas, Ben Taylor and Spencer Hawk. Standing (back row) are Cade Lockwood, Jon Mehr, Peter Coleman, Michael Hansen and Jeremy Dondoyano. The team was coached by Glenn Meyer, Don Tefft and Chris Gellos.
The 2014 Issaquah girls cross-country team was special. So special, in fact, that longtime head coach Gwen Robertson had to go all the way back to the ‘80s to find a comparable Eagle squad. Even then, she said, the 2014 team stood out among the rest. “This arguably is the best team in school history, not by a lot, but by about 4 seconds average time,” she said upon reviewing past team times. This Eagles squad culminated a magical season with a second-place finish in the 4A state cross-country championship Nov. 8 at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course. Senior Cayla Seligman was Issaquah’s top finisher, bouncing back from a stress fracture that wiped out her 2013 season, to place 12th overall, crossing the finish line in 18 minutes, 24.28 seconds. “A year ago, I was injured and didn’t race at all during the cross country season, so to be able to be healthy and have such a talented group of girls to run with has been such a blessing,” Seligman said. Standout Issaquah freshmen Sami Corman (13th overall, 18:28.87)
and Kenna Clawson (19th overall, 18:35.18) finished right behind her. Corman and Clawson are the best freshmen in school history, Robertson said, which certainly bodes well for Issaquah’s future. “They’re gamers,” Robertson said. “For them to run as fast as they did is a real tribute to their learning how to run that far in a short amount of time and doing all the right work.” Seniors Ellie Clawson (33rd overall, 19:11.76), Larissa Kolasinski (53rd overall, 19:34.05), Abby Wilson (98th overall, 20:22.75) and Ellie Hendrickson (131st overall, 21:39.33) rounded out the rest of the Issaquah finishers. This year’s team, led by Ellie Clawson and Seligman, had some of the best leadership she has ever seen, Robertson said. “They were tremendous leaders throughout the summer and season,” she said. “We haven’t ever had that kind of leadership. That, you have to attribute to those kids being ready to make it a really great year.” The Eagles were confident coming into the state meet, Seligman said, and they had every right to be after winning KingCo for the first time since 1993,
and then districts for the first time since 1989. To put that in perspective, the last time Issaquah took second at the state meet — 1989 — none of the team’s current athletes had yet been born. “I think, personally, we expected to do well because we have been performing consistently all season and state is just another meet,” Seligman said. “Although there was a bit more pressure for this meet, I think we handled it well and ran the best that we could on Saturday.” The 2014 team’s chemistry was something special, both Seligman and Robertson acknowledged. “The whole attitude of this year’s team was that we wanted to race well every single time we raced and show everyone what we were made of,” Seligman said. “I think we have accomplished everything that we could this season and I am so proud of us all.” On the boys side, the Eagles sent three runners to the 4A state cross-country championship. Junior Kennan Schrag (17th overall, 15:51.11) was the top Issaquah finisher, followed by freshman Luke George (46th overall, 16:20.43) and junior Jacob Brueckman (79th overall, 16:42.56).
Skyline girls lock up fourth straight state volleyball berth By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com When Callie Wesson arrived at Skyline High School prior to the 2011 season, her goal was to build the volleyball program into a perennial power. There are plenty of signs to indicate Wesson has accomplished that goal. The Spartans clinched their fourth straight trip to the Class 4A state tournament, beating rival Eastlake 3-1 in the championship match of the KingCo Conference tournament Nov. 6 at Skyline. “This feeling definitely does not get old,” Wesson said. “I mean, it’s one of those things where we’re starting to build a legacy here, and sort of build a standard where the expectation is going to state. “And that means you need to work hard, because it’s not going to be easy, and all of these girls have stepped up to the challenge, starting their freshman year. It’s paying off for this group of seniors. It’s amazing.” Skyline (17-1) heads into the state tournament in Lacey on a 13-match

The Spartans open the event at 3:15 p.m. Nov. 14 against Olympia. Eastlake, meanwhile, saw its season end Nov. 8 with a heartbreaking loss to Newport. The Wolves had a 2-0 lead, but lost the final three sets, ending their season with a 12-6 record. Skyline outside hitter Chloe Epker, one of the team’s nine seniors and the conference’s co-MVP, had a dominating performance to help overcome a scrappy Eastlake squad. She finished with 27 kills
and 16 digs. Epker said it felt great to continue the run of state-tournament appearances under Wesson. “It’s a huge victory and accomplishment,” she said. “We have a really strong program, and we also have a lot of really strong incoming freshmen, so I think our program will continue to be really strong for probably the next four years.” Top-seeded Skyline won the first set 25-17, using See VOLLEYBALL, Page 13

and really ran hard, so I was really proud of them,” Smith said. The girls team was ranked second in 2A for much of the year, Smith said, so the team was just a bit disappointed with the third-place finish. Overall, though, after years of narrowly missing the podium, it felt good to hoist the trophy, he said. “It was really exciting for them to finally get to that point where it was recognized at the state level,” he said. “There were a lot of happy smiles, really no regrets of how they did.”

two Audrey Wate aces to build a 9-2 lead. Eastlake closed to within four points, but Epker had three kills to polish off the win. “Our game plan was just to stay really steady with our energy the entire time,” Epker said. “Eastlake has a lot of energy … so we just wanted to remain constant on our side of the court, and control our energy and what we can do.” Epker killed off four straight points — 10 in all — in the second set as Skyline held off a late rally to win 25-22 and take a 2-0 lead. But the third-seeded Wolves refused to go quietly. Senior outside hitter Jordan Dahl led the comeback effort, collecting six
of her team-high 19 kills in the third set as Eastlake won, 25-21. “I think we came out a little scared in the first two sets,” Dahl said. “But we wanted to win, and we’re going to do everything in our power to do that. So we weren’t going to let those two sets slow us down.” An already intense match ratcheted up another notch in the fourth set. The teams exchanged leads six times and contested several lengthy points. Dahl slammed down two kills that trimmed the Spartans’ lead to 22-20. But Skyline got the final three points to win — kills from freshman Carly Werner and Epker, and an ace from Kathleen Bui on match point. Both teams stuffed the stat sheet with strong performances. Eastlake setters Sarah Burrington and Caroline DeStefano
combined for 45 assists. The Wolves had 99 digs, including 33 from Dahl and 27 from Ally Crinklaw. Ellie Woerner added 11 kills and four blocks. “Skyline’s a great team,” Dahl said. “We know that they rely heavily on their outsides, so we knew we’ve got to be able to get a big block up there and just be able to dig them. We practiced hitting different shots.” Skyline setters Katy Valencia and Meghan Wedeking had 43 assists between them, and five Spartans finished with double-digit digs. “Kathleen Bui had 26 digs. Audrey (Wate) had 19,” Wesson said. “And it’s just kind of one of those things — you know that these kids are going to be in their spots and they’re going to be great defensive players for you, to give you opportunities to be able to terminate the ball.”

The pack certainly delivered Nov. 8. “They all really stepped up,” Smith said. “They were just racing as hard as they could to the finish line and once I saw that, I knew we had a pretty good chance at a trophy.” The Patriots took third place, led by Cooper (13th overall, 16:14.62) and Sytsma (27th overall, 16:30.47). Liberty juniors Sean Szymanski (60th overall, 17:06.05) and Nicholas Siegfried (69th overall, 17:13.03) each had lifetime bests. Sophomore Jake Knoblich (61st overall, 17:06.23), junior Jeffrey Broska (76th overall, 17:20.63) and junior Michael Daly (92nd overall, 17:38.85) rounded out the pack.

Art Jackson, Costco’s vice president of general administration, acknowledged the company’s “corporate responsibility” to contribute its fair share of taxes, but urged the council to perform a more comprehensive analysis of all revenue streams to determine whether the increase was really necessary. “We operate on very thin margins and the proposed tax increase would have

a significant impact on the profitability of our Issaquah warehouse location,” he said. Jackson suggested a reduced and delayed increase, and urged that it be distributed fairly across all businesses. After hearing feedback from the business community, it appears likely that changes are coming to the B&O tax proposal based on discussion at the Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 Council Committee Work Sessions. The City Council found virtual consensus on what it was calling a “50-50” proposal, in which a 50-percent tax increase would be passed equally to all.
134-Help Wanted
Under the 50-50 plan, the B&O tax rate for manufacturing, wholesale and retail companies would go from 0.0008 to 0.0012. B&O taxes for printing/ publishing, retail services and services/other would go from 0.001 to 0.0015. Nothing is finalized until the council officially adopts the 2015 budget, expected to happen at the 7 p.m. Nov. 17 regular meeting. That meeting is also residents’ last opportunity to comment on the budget at the final public hearing. If the council does not adopt the budget Nov. 17, it will do so Dec. 1.

Renowned doctors, expert nursing teams, and the latest technology to back them up, are just some of the reasons Swedish delivers “extraordinary care.” But there’s another side to being extraordinary that’s just as important. It’s a way of being treated that makes you feel like someone truly cares. Because, at Swedish, someone does.
