Committee rejects indoor tennis courts at Tibbetts Valley Park

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com In a 2-1 vote, the Issaquah City Council’s Services and Safety Committee turned down a plan to install indoor tennis courts at Tibbetts Valley Park via a public/ private partnership.

“I think we should have an indoor tennis facility in Issaquah and I’m not opposed to public/ private partnerships in general,” said Councilman Tola Marts,

chair of the committee. “But this particular plan is not good.”

Marts added he was concerned over a needed zoning change and the possibility of the tennis facility serving alcohol in a public park. But he said the real deciding factor for him was the opposition of the city park board.

“The park board didn’t just not support it,” Marts said, adding they actively voted to not recommend the proposal.

Put together by Northwest

High Performance Tennis, the plan came about after Arena Sports purchased the Sammamish Club in early 2013. The revamped facility no longer offers tennis programming, effectively leaving Issaquah without indoor tennis courts.

In March 2014, the city Parks and Recreation Department hosted two public meetings to gauge public interest in an indoor tennis facility. Ultimately, the administration issued a request

for proposals to potentially build and operate a tennis facility at Tibbetts Valley Park utilizing the existing tennis courts.

Northwest High Performance Tennis’ ultimate plans call for an extended 20-year lease and construction of nine tennis courts, six indoor and three outdoor. The project also included restrooms, concession stands, locker and training rooms. Northwest would have been solely responsible for all construction, operating and

associated costs. But Marts said the original proposal was considerably different.

“When first proposed, this was just covering four courts for foul weather … then it became six indoor courts with only three for the public and at reduced hours,” Marts said.

The plans then changed again, to a two-story clubhouse operSee COURTS, Page 2

Backing for funding senior center Chipotle reopens Northwest restaurants takes another hit among City Council

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com The Issaquah Chipotle was back in action Nov. 11, more than a week after an E. coli outbreak caused the Mexican food chain to close 43 Pacific Northwest restaurants.

The outbreak sickened at least 30 people in Washington state, according to the Washington State Department of Health. There were no deaths reported, but 10 people were hospitalized.

King County knew of six reported cases involving three teenagers, two people in their 20s and a person older than 65.

Public Health — Seattle & King County food inspectors visited each Chipotle Nov. 10 to confirm facilities were thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

“We are sorry to those affected by this situation, and it is our greatest priority to ensure that we go above and beyond to make certain that we find any opportunity to do better in any area of food safety,” said Steve Ells, chairman and co-CEO of Chipotle, in a news release.

Chipotle is taking several steps to ensure its food is safe,

including instituting a new process requiring that ingredients test free of contamination before they are supplied to stores.

The company is also replacing all ingredients in the closed restaurants and conducting deep cleaning and sanitization in locations nationwide.

The Food and Drug Administration is in the process of testing dozens of food samples from Chipotle restaurants, and so far, all have tested negative for E. coli bacteria, according to a Nov. 10 Public Health Insider blog post by Hilary N. Karasz of Public Health – Seattle & King County.

The Washington State Department of Health identified five Chipotle restaurants associated with the outbreak: 4Hazel Dell, 7715 N.E. Fifth Ave., Suite 109, Vancouver 41404 Broadway Ave., Seattle 44229 University Way N.E., Seattle 4512 Ramsey Way #101, Kent 41753 S. Burlington Blvd., Burlington.

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com The question of whether to fund the Issaquah Valley Senior Center remains up in the air, but there is almost no support for funding among city council members.

“I am not in favor of granting money to the same service provider,” said Councilwoman Mary Lou Pauly.

Pauly said while she wants

to fund senior citizen services, she is bothered by some of the actions of the center’s current administration.

Among other incidents, she specifically mentioned using “no trespassing” orders issued by police to bar seniors from the center.

Pauly’s comments were echoed by virtually every council member. Council President Paul Winterstein and council Deputy President Stacy Goodman

already had come out against funding the current regime of the senior center.

While no formal vote was taken, only Councilman Joshua Schaer favored funding the center. While Schaer said he shares the reservations of the rest of the council, he wants to make sure senior citizens are not short changed. He said as the city curSee FUNDING, Page 2

County tackles project to control water flow out of Lake Sammamish

By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com

The project may be some 10 years away from completion, said Doug Williams, a spokesman for the King County Department of Parks and Natural Resources.

But the effects are being felt from what one observer called deferred maintenance during a stakeholder advisory committee Oct. 14.

Technically known as the Wil-

lowmoor Floodplain Restoration Project, the work involves restoring and redesigning the floodplain and Lake Sammamish weir meant to control flooding from the lake into surrounding areas.

The floodplain is choked with vegetation and trees, and therefore, water just doesn’t flow properly, said Sammamish resident and local activist Jim Mackey, a member of the stakeholder advisory committee.

He has seen firsthand, he said,

the effects of the backed-up flood control system. Lake docks end up under water, disappearing in November and not coming back until May or so, Mackey said.

At other times, boats can end up floating four feet below the docks.

“The lake just isn’t draining properly,” he added.

That has implications for propSee LAKE, Page 2

City is monitoring hillside Talus construction site Construction work has stopped and the city is watching the hillside above Northwest Talus Drive and Shangri-La Way after what Issaquah officials called “hillside movement” was spotted on Nov. 13.

In a released statement, the city said the following steps were taken immediately: 4An evaluation of the situation was completed by

two separate geotechnical experts.

4A temporary wall was built at the base of the hillside.

4The city began monitoring utility lines.

The location of the hillside movement, or landslide, is to become the site of 90 homes on the side of Cougar Mountain.

Except for work to monitor the site and collect data to determine the

next steps, all other work has come to a halt, said Warren Kagarise, city communications manager.

He said monitoring and similar steps could continue for the next several weeks.

“Crews will be on site during the day doing that work. We don’t anticipate that night work will be necessary,” Kagarise said in an email.

Kagarise said that as

of Nov. 16, geotechnical engineers had found no new movement at the site since Nov. 13. Engineers from both the city and the developer visited the site.

Workers also are installing slope and groundwater monitors, Kagarise added.

The city will update the situation as needed on its website, www.issaquahwa. gov, Kagarise said.

Funding

as well. That plan initially had some support of some of council, but that support has since faltered.

Winterstein said he purposefully did not call for a vote on center funding.

“The reason for not calling the vote was to give more time for a solution to be worked out,” he said following the meeting.

The center is seeking the same funding it has received from the city in the past: $99,000, or about 44 percent of its yearly budget. Winterstein also is including in the center funding request $65,000 needed for the proposed performance audit.

Controversy at the center began in earnest in

April when a member of the center board of directors was banned from the center via a “no trespassing notice.” He became the second member so barred.

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

Senior center Executive Director Courtney Jaren was in the audience of the Nov. 10 budget hearing, but did not address the council during a public comment period.

The council is considering funding for numerous nonprofit groups besides the center and representatives from at least two of

those other organizations did take the opportunity to make their case.

Hired by the center board and Jaren, Seattle attorney David Adler accompanied Jaren to the Nov. 10 council session. He also made no public comments during the meeting and was unavailable for comment following the session.

He recently declined comment on the objections of Winterstein and Goodman, saying he did not want to respond through a third party such as the media.

Jaren has chosen repeatedly not to respond to requests for comment left for her at the center.

than six feet.

The transition zone is a key component of the project and consists of what is basically a ramp near the Lake Sammamish outlet, connecting the old river channel to the deepened river channel downstream.

When Lake Sammamish is at moderate levels, the lake overflow is contained in a 30-foot-wide, low-flow channel running down the center of the transition zone. Willow buffers line both banks. When the lake is at higher levels, the overflow can fill the entire width of the transition zone.

At the upstream end of the transition zone, a concrete weir controls lake outflow, in theory keeping Lake Sammamish at appropriate levels. A notch in the weir allows for fish

passage as well as travel by small boats, such as kayaks and canoes.

Besides what Mackey called the deferred maintenance in the transition zone, Bear Creek in Redmond is also causing higher lake levels. Mackey said the fully-restored creek can now dump up to three times as much water into Lake Sammamish.

Another problem is water temperature control to help local salmon. Warm water is death to salmon and the county has come up with a couple of ways to cool water in the transition zone. Mackey said one idea is to split the overflow into two channels, pumping cooler groundwater into one channel to benefit fish.

There seems to be some question just how practical

that idea might be.

Mackey said while he gladly served on the advisory committee, he’s not sure the county actually paid attention.

“The train is going forward, you can comment, but here is what we’re going to build,” Mackey said in describing the county’s approach.

Williams said the next step is turning information gathered from the advisory committee into a report for the King County Flood Control District. That’s likely to take three months or so.

The project cost will run between $8.1 million to $9.8 million, depending on what design option is selected.

“It’s a complicated project,” Williams said. “We’ve got a lot of conditions to take into account.”

allow public/private partnerships.

Councilman Josh Schaer cast the lone dissenting vote, asking the issue be left with the committee to fix some of the things that needed to be dealt with, such as the rezoning and some park-

ing problems.

The committee heard about 15 positive public comments and only about four against, according to Schaer.

“I just feel it’s a real opportunity for the city,” Schaer said. He had no problem with the facility serving alcohol as long as they had a legitimate liquor license.

Marts reiterated it was

the objections of the park board that really soured the idea for him.

“The park board is usually very supportive of administration proposals, so when they reject something it really catches my eye,” he said. “I didn’t hear enough from the administration or the applicant to make me want to go against the park board recommendation.”

rently has no alternative means of delivering senior services, the council needs to support the existing senior center. Schaer mentioned the plan proposed

by Mayor Fred Butler a few months ago.

Under that scheme, the center would receive half of its funding up front.

But any funding past the middle of 2016 would depend on the outcome of a performance audit to be done by the city. Other conditions would have been placed on the center

erty owners ringing the lake and for boaters, Mackey said. Big storms can raise the lake several feet. Zoning and land-use rules around the lake often are based on high-water marks, which Mackey said keep changing.

The flood control project, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, dates back to the mid-1960s, according to a King County website on the potential rebuilding project. The floodplain covers almost 14 miles from Lake Sammamish to Lake Washington. The project essentially lowers the bottom of the Sammamish River by more

they all wanted to leave together. The trio’s last day on the job will be Nov. 30.

Collins was one of the founders of EFR in 1999, Soptich said. Including Anderson-Boyle, the three are among the last people left in the organization since its formation.

“We’re kind of a blended family,” Soptich said.

Soptich is only EFR’s second chief, with the first chief having served for about a year before Soptich took over.

Speaking to the Sammamish City Council on Nov. 10, Deputy Chief Greg Tryon said the EFR board of directors would not have a new chief named by the time Soptich leaves. EFR later announced that Tryon will serve as interim chief.

EFR and consultants the Mercer Group began advertising for a new chief Sept. 21. They had 24 applications by Oct. 14, Tryon said. The consultant narrowed that number down to 12 and there are eight candidates now remaining. The EFR board will further whittle the candidate pool to between three and five.

Those finalists will be brought in for extensive interviews in early December, Tryon said.

The new chief will earn $154,00 to $180,000

annually. The original schedule had him or her reporting to work in early February.

The new chief may eventually oversee the first nonprofit emergency service entity in Washington. EFR is looking to gain that designation to help clarify the employment status of EFR staff.

Currently, all EFR personnel are employees not of the city they may work in or EFR, but of King County Fire Protection District 10, which partners with EFR. “There’s been an interest in changing the employer of record,” said Soptich earlier this year. “There hasn’t been any issues, but the possibility is there for the employer of record to wield a lot of power.”

The change needs the approval of all of EFR’s client cities, but the big hold up sits with the Internal Revenue Service. EFR needs the IRS to make some decisions on certain issues relating to its retirement benefits. Tryon said that answer might arrive in the spring of next year.

The new chief will oversee an operation with an annual budget of about $24 million. Providing fire suppression, prevention and emergency medical services, EFR operates in several cities, including Issaquah, Sammamish and North Bend, along with two fire districts encompassing a total of about 190 square miles and a population of over 130,000.

Debbie Berto (second from left) accepts checks to support the Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park playground fundraising effort from Rowley Properties CEO Kari McGill, Skip Rowley and hotel manager Will Parkinson.

Rowley Properties, hotels give boost to state park playground fundraising Rowley Properties Inc., Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites — all located in Issaquah and owned by the Rowley family — collectively made a $20,000 donation to the Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park for an all-accessible playground.

The nonprofit Friends group is seeking partners and individual donations to raise $250,000 for the $1 million playground.

The state capital budget will cover the first $750,000.

“Lake Sammamish State Park has the potential to be an amazing treasure.

FLSSP has been working hard to help revitalize, embrace and activate the park. Their work has been inspiring and it is

our pleasure to help them fund a new amenity at the park which will benefit our community — the Playground 4 All. We hope you’ll donate, too,” Skip Rowley said in a news release.

The playground is designed to be fitnessoriented and challenging, but welcoming to children of all abilities, primarily ages 2-12. It will have a hard rubber surface for wheelchairs, strollers and walkers, and there will be many viewing seats.

There will be a 9-foot blue heron that will welcome visitors with a spraying mist when they pass by, a mushroom house for toddlers, a 17-foot climbing net, zip line, swings, rotating net, twin towers with connected climbing

features, outdoor musical chimes to play with your flip flops, a coal mine through a mountain and more.

The playground will be located near Sunset Beach, the new bathhouse and picnic areas.

“Thanks to the Rowleys, we are at 80 percent of our goal,” said Debbie Berto, chair of the fundraising effort. “They have set a great example of what a community can do.”

Track total donations as the group nears its goal and donate online at www. playground4all.com. A private donor will match the first $50,000 in donations.

The group hopes to raise the funds by April 2016 so that installation can proceed no later than June.

Keeping us safe while brainstorming in the rain

I

was invited to watch a local youth championship football game Saturday night. These are some of the random thoughts I had while shivering in the 40-degree, misting rain while my second cousin-in-law’s team was getting blown out.

Despite the cold weather locally, my numbed brain was actually giving weight to the global-warming myth by the evidence of 80-degree weather east of the Rockies last week. True believers would actually have you and me believe that global warming is currently the single biggest threat to mankind.

Then the true biggest threat, Islamic extremist terrorists, reared their ugly heads in Paris on Friday and reminded us where our leaders’ priorities truly need to be. These barbarians are killing innocents today but global-warming fanatics want us to worry about what will happen 20 years from now if we don’t build more windmills?

And speaking of those Paris attacks, one of the venues targeted was the Stade de France where Germany was playing the home country in a friendly match of soccer, a match most likely targeted because French President François Hollande was actually in attendance.

But an astute security guard at the entrance performing a routine pat-down discovered one of the terrorists’ suicide vests. The bomber, rather than running away, just stepped back and detonated his bomb there. While tragic, the security guard saved hundreds of lives inside the stadium while executing his routine duties.

Back home, my wife and I were late to the football game and entered through an unmanned side gate. The stadium, which had several hundred fans on both sides of the field, was a ripe target for any local terror cells.

Yet a day after the Paris attacks, nobody could foot the bill for even a token security guard checking bags in a pub-

lic venue during this time of heightened security threats?

This complacency, even if it is only at a youth football David match, is what Hayes builds the Press reporter confidence of the terrorists into believing their warped plans have a chance of working in the first place.

Random thought No. 3 was from an incident on the field of play itself. The son of a coach badly injured his leg.

But because this championship game involved youth teams, there were no paramedics standing by in case of emergency. This kid was carried off the field and laid on the trainer’s table.

A blown-out knee may seem small compared to the eight or more young men who have actually died this year from their on-field injuries. But in my addled brain, I assigned blame for many of those deaths and this kid’s injury to the coach. In a time focused on on-field concussions, every other injury seems to still have the attitude of, “Rub some dirt on it and get back in there.”

This kid was shivering and damned if he didn’t look halfway to shock lying there on the trainer’s table, waiting for what, I don’t know. If he were my kid, I’d have run out on the sideline and taken him immediately to the hospital, just as a precaution, postgame be damned.

I laid that indecision squarely on the coach. How many of those other kids sustained injuries due to poor decisions by their coaches?

Football is a rough sport.

But it can still be a good stepping stone to building the character of tomorrow’s leaders. Coaches need to ensure they do all they can to keep the naysayers from taking away another great American tradition.

F rom T he W eb Council committee rejects indoor tennis courts at Tibbetts Valley Park Beth Wray — Although I cannot attend the meeting on Monday night, I am in favor of the project to build a new tennis facility at Tibbetts.

Since the closure of the courts at the former Sammamish Club, this area provides no indoor tennis facilities, forcing those of us who live here and want to play year-round, to drive outside of Issaquah to do so.

By doing this, the city loses out. In addition to the income that the actual establishment would bring to the city, it would also bolster other nearby businesses.

For example, I am a wife and mother of three teenage boys. I stop at the grocery store almost every day after I play tennis.

Now that I no longer play at the Sammamish Club, the grocery store that I frequent after tennis now is outside of Issaquah.

That’s probably at least

$500 a month in groceries being spent outside of the city. The same goes for where I fill up my gas tank and where my friends and I meet for coffee and lunch after tennis.

Just one or two more “housewives” like me and you are talking thousands of additional dollars per month for the city, in addition to what the actual facility brings in. In my opinion, this is a huge opportunity cost being wasted, and that is a shame.

Mike Merz — I think the Issaquah community is missing a great opportunity if they do not take advantage of this initiative. There is a fairly large population of people of all ages who would take advantage of this venue.

This park is underutilized several months a year.

Why not let people use a portion of the park all year, and benefit themselves health-wise, and the city financially? I sat at the last

Democratic socialism has long American tradition Just a note to agree with Greg Farrar’s comments: Democratic socialism is simply working people coming together to improve their lives. It has a long American tradition, grounded as far back as the Mayflower Compact, which established the principle of civic responsibility to meet community needs. It is good to see, with the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, more discussion and support of the principle. Thanks, Greg.

Photographer Greg Farrar gets socialism right

Folks, Greg hit “socialism” right on the head, in the middle of the target. When government sets the wages for the private sector, that is a very socialist view of “free” enterprise in America.

Thanks, Greg.

Course grows appreciation for police department

We are fortunate to live in an amazing city, but I hope that everyone will get the chance someday to see firsthand how well our city jail and dispatch personnel interface with our Issaquah Po-

of Alzheimer’s disease, and the funding to find a cure lags dramatically behind what’s necessary, but Congress has the opportunity to act by Dec. 10.

In 2010 Congress unanimously passed legislation that set a goal of finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s by 2025. But National Institutes of Health (NIH) research on dementia has not increased to the $2-billion-a-year level that scientists say is needed.

The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill giving $350 million more to NIH for Alzheimer’s research, while the House Committee has voted $300 million. If even the lower figure is signed into law, that would be a 50-percent increase in research funding for this disease. The new budget law just eased strict budget caps, allowing additional priority spending this coming year.

It is good news for families in Issaquah and the 8th District that Rep. Dave Reichert has voiced his support for the increased funding. As a volunteer ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Association, myself and other advocates for Alzheimer’s research urge Sens.

Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to also vote for this vital Alzheimer’s research boost and push to make sure it is in the final appropriations bill enacted into law.

lice Department.

We are fortunate to have a Citizen’s Police Academy to learn more about the difficult job that our local officers do so well for all of us. There is nothing wrong with starting with real respect for our officers, since all of us want to be treated the same way.

Try this the next time you are pulled over, especially at night.

Quickly turn on your interior light, shut off your music, put that smartphone away in your pocket, then keep both hands on the steering wheel until the officer approaches your vehicle to ask for license, registration and proof of insurance.

Don’t argue and let the officer tell you why he/she pulled you over. Many times they are actually just reminding you to get a taillight fixed for everyone’s safety. Tell the officer you are reaching for your registration and insurance.

I can’t promise you won’t still get a ticket for a real infraction, but at least you showed by your actions that you actually appreciate the 12-hour shifts our officers spend each day protecting and serving our families. Everyone in this community can start by saying thank you to an officer, and it really does make a difference.

There is an existing example of a new tennis facility located in a public park, with public/private ownership, that serves alcohol on the premises, which is thriving. The Tennis Center at Sand Point, located at Magnuson Park in Seattle, has been open for approximately two years and is a huge success.

I think it would be in the best interest of our Parks Department and our City Council to take a field trip to the Sand Point facility and see with their own eyes what a facility like this would be like, and see what a success it is for the North Seattle community.

The goal for the staff at the Material Distribution Center in Preston was to determine who could sort the most pieces in one hour. KCLS sorted 12,572 items, beating NYPL’s 12,351, and has taken a 3-2 lead in the fifth year of the competition.

Speed readers Above, Shan Kerouac of Preston, a KCLS employee for six years, holds up a children’s book with an appropriate back cover that didn’t make it onto the conveyor as time was called at the end of the hour in the Battle of the Books.

‘Wow, that went fast! I love those hours when they go like that,’ she said.

At left, Will Perry, of Kent, has more full totes waiting on a roller belt for him to open and continue placing books and periodicals on the sorting conveyor belt.

If you’re going to open a new restaurant in Issaquah’s crowded dining market, you’d better do one of two things — do your cuisine better than what’s already there, or offer something not yet available to discerning diners.

Ohana fulfills the latter with its Hawaiian-themed menu.

Located in the former La Costa, the old space was completely renovated to incorporate a Pacific Islander setting. Its Tiki lounge motif adds character without being kitschy. The whole space has been opened up to give it that high ceiling, cabana feel.

Once seated, you’re provided with two lunch menus — one for the sushi and the other for its exotic, Islander cuisine.

My dining companion, for his first trip into the pool, decided to jump into the deep end and order his first-ever sushi roll. With 48 items to choose on the menu, including three combo platters for the truly indecisive, he quickly zeroed in on the spicy tuna. Being a novice, I had to show him how to mix together the soy sauce and wasabi to properly eat the neatly sliced rolls. The flavor was subtly spicy, but the wasabi kicked it up a notch for a well-made roll.

For an appetizer, I just had to compare Ohana’s Filipino-style Lumpia Shanghai — a deep fried egg roll — against my

wife’s homemade preparation. Did I mention she’s Filipino? Ohana’s was more akin to her aunt’s, however, as it was filled with more meat, while my wife’s has more vegetables.

But Ohana’s shrimp and pork filling has an astounding added flavor of black fungus. Well made indeed.

In a previous trip to Ohana, having just returned from a trip to Maui, I had to try their version of the Hawaiian staple, Loco Moco.

Klahanie girl’s big dreams nets big prize

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com Gabriella Campanario is only 8 years old, but the young Issaquah resident already knows what her future holds.

Ella, as her family calls her, is going to be a Rhode Island School of Design-educated artist.

The medium — fashion, ceramics, illustration — is yet to be determined, but the dream is real, and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to leave her mark on the art world.

Sitting in her Klahanie home, appropriately wearing a red beret, the budding artist talked about her craft.

“It just lets me express my feelings and lets me

be kind of silly,” she said.

Ella mostly draws these days, using markers, pens, colored pencils, whatever is at her disposal. She also takes a ceramics class at Issaquah’s Museo Art Academy.

She will draw most anything — flowers, the sun and realistic scenes.

But when she’s feeling really happy, Ella likes to get silly.

“I like to draw made-up things,” she said, “like maybe a cookie with a face.”

Recently, the young artist has found inspiration in glitter, thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime meeting with renowned illustrator Dallas Shaw.

Ella was one of three finalists in the nationwide

Babybel Big Dreamers Contest, showcasing the big things kids want to be when they grow up.

In July, Babybel flew Ella to Chicago to receive hands-on art training and tips on becoming a professional artist from Shaw. Known as the “it-girl illustrator,” Shaw has partnered with top designers and fashion houses.

Shaw sat down with Ella and showed her a few new drawing techniques. Toward the end, the duo decided to have a little fun with glitter.

“We decided that we were going to throw the glitter in our hair,” Ella See DREAMS, Page 8

Master Chorus Eastside presents Charles Dicken’s ‘A Choral Christmas Carol’ Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, “A Christmas Carol,” comes to life in Master Chorus Eastside’s enchanting and poignant synthesis of Christmas carols and readers’ theater, “A Choral” Christmas Carol.”

Holiday carols intertwine with dramatic readings drawn directly from the timeless story of redemption and joy in a production that is sure to touch viewers’ hearts with the true spirit of Christmas.

David Ketter acts as the Narrator, and Village Theater veteran John Deveney (“Damn Yankees,” “The Odd Couple,” “Meet Me in St. Louis”) appears as Ebenezer Scrooge, with smaller roles, such as the Cratchit family, played by MCE members.

“It’s amazing how well the story and the carols fit together,” MCE conductor Linda Gingrich said in a news release. “It’s as if

they were made for one another.

“And we feel especially fortunate to have David Ketter and John Deveney in the starring roles. They bring a sparkle to this production that has inspired us all. This will be an unforgettable musical and dramatic experience.”

Performances of “A Choral Christmas Carol” will be at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 and 3 p.m. Dec. 13 at Pine Lake Covenant Church, 1715 228th Ave. S.E. in Sammamish.

Tickets are $20 for general admission; $15 for seniors, students and veterans, senior/student/ veteran; $44 for family tickets; and children 9 and under are free but need a ticket for admission.

For tickets, go to www. brownpapertickets.com, or call the Master Chorus Eastside office at 3928446.

The other two finalists — one wanted to be a dancer and the other a football player — met with “Dancing With the Stars’” Julianne Hough and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron.

Babybel videotaped it all and crafted videos for the public to meet the finalists. Through a Facebook contest, the company then asked followers to decide which finalist would win the grand prize — a $50,000 college scholarship to help the winner achieve his or her big dream.

Ella received the most votes, and while the $50,000 scholarship will certainly cover most of her schooling, her father Gus said the money wasn’t the most important prize.

Yoshi is currently staying in one of our wonderful foster homes, but it’s easy to set up a time to meet her. Just contact the Seattle Humane Society to learn more about this loving girl.

Fergie is an adorable 11-monthold kitten who’s excited for a special home of Fergie his own. He has cerebellar hypoplasia, a permanent condition which makes him a bit unsteady on his feet but will not require medication. Fergie can do everything a non-CH cat can do, just differently. He can run, he can play for hours and he can climb! He’d be happiest in a home with another kitty to play with.

To adopt these or other animals, call the Humane Society for Seattle/King County at 641-0080 or go to www.seattlehumane.org. All animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated, and come with 30 days of pet health insurance and a certificate for a vet exam.

“I’m very grateful to Dallas. She lit a fire within Gabriella,” he said. “Ella got a contact and a mentor for life. That was really the awesome part of this.”

Ella agreed, calling Shaw her “everlasting mentor” and a really great friend.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled for Gabriella,” Shaw said in a news release. “At a young age she already has tremendous creativity and an amazing sense of personal style, and she reminds me that we should never stop dreaming big.”

The Challenger Elementary student has almost a decade before she applies for and, hopefully, gets in to RISD, so until then, Gus said the family would continue to support her artistic inclinations.

“She knows she wants to do art, but what does that mean? Is it photography, is it painting, is it fashion design, is it spray painting?

It’s a huge universe but the nice thing is now she can start to find out what that means to her.”

PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP First round state playoffs

Get scores at www.issaquahpress.com

Issaquah (9-4) 32 Lake Stevens 42

Liberty (5-6) 21 Hokinson 42

Skyline (10-1) 17 Gig Harbor 15

Issaquah returns to soccer final four The Issaquah High School girls soccer team advanced to its eighth semifinal appearance in the past 12 seasons, rallying to defeat the Curtis Vikings, 3-2, in a Class 4A girls soccer quarterfinal match Nov. 14 in University Place.

The Eagles will face the Camas Papermakers at 8 p.m. Nov. 20 at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup. The winner faces either Gonzaga Prep or West Valley (Yakima) in the championship match at 4 p.m. Nov. 21. The loser plays for third and fourth places at noon Nov. 21.

Issaquah (15-2-2), which is seeking the program’s fourth state title since 2004, took a 1-0 lead on Curtis in the fourth minute when Tori Lawless scored off Alina Ruzicka’s pass.

The Vikings evened the score in the 20th minute as Ellie Reardon’s free kick found the head of Sariah Keister. They grabbed the lead eight minutes into the second half when Morgan Weaver scored her 35th goal of the season.

Undeterred, the Eagles found an equalizer in the 59th minute when Mariah Van Halm ripped a shot under the crossbar. Seven minutes later, Claudia Longo scored the game-winner directly from a corner kick.

Curtis nearly tied the score in the closing minutes, but Issaquah defender Kirstie Johnson was able to clear Weaver’s attempt before it crossed the goal line.

Camas takes down Skyline, 2-1 Camas senior forward Sara Yang scored goals in the 20th and 60th minutes, and the visiting Papermakers held off a late charge from the Skyline Spartans

for a 2-1 victory in a 4A quarterfinal match Nov. 14.

Skyline (11-3-3) got a goal back in the 72nd minute when sophomore forward Emma Rohleder scored from the edge of the penalty area. Senior forward Gabby Hart had a chance to equalize in the final minutes for the Spartans, but Camas goalkeeper Julia Coombs saved her header.

The Spartans reached the quarterfinal round for the eighth straight season.

They opened the state playoffs Nov. 10 at home against Gig Harbor, and stretched their win streak to eight with a 2-0 decision.

The Spartans outshot the Tides, 12-2, and took control in the 16th minute when Rohleder assisted on Hart’s goal. Alexa Kirton provided insurance in the 76th minute when she headed the ball past goalkeeper Jordan Bertram following an Ava Giovanola free kick.

Skyline’s starting defenders – Giovanola, Claire Wate, Marissa Carpenter, Mariah Alexander and keeper Anna Smith – were all sophomores, but the group recorded eight shutouts this season, and didn’t allow more than two goals to any opponent.

4A football: Issaquah falls at No. 1 Lake Stevens Lake Stevens, ranked No. 1 for much of the season, came back from a 13-0 deficit in the first quarter and defeated the visiting Issaquah Eagles, 42-32, in a Class 4A state football playoff game Nov. 13.

Liberty advances to soccer semifinals

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com The Liberty High School soccer team is back in the semifinals.

Liberty defeated Burlington-Edison, 4-1, Nov. 13 to advance. Katelyn Godfrey scored twice, while Makenna Carr and Amanda Hemmen each added one goal.

The Patriots next play Squalicum, the defending Class 2A state champions, 8 p.m. Nov. 20. If Liberty wins, the Patriots play in the title game 4 p.m. Nov. 21, if they lose, they will play for third place at noon Nov. 21. All games are at Shoreline Stadium.

Football loses to Hockinson A 42-21 loss to Hockin-

son ended Liberty’s season Nov. 14.

The Patriots kept it close through the first quarter, which ended in a 7-7 tie.

But Hockinson went on to score 28 unanswered points through the next two quarters.

Liberty outscored Hockinson 14-7 in the fourth quarter, but the game was mostly out of reach at that point.

It was the Liberty football team’s first state appearance since 2010.

Volleyball makes early exit The Liberty volleyball team did not make it past the first day of the Class 2A state tournament in Lacey.

Losses to Ridgefield and Othello ended the Patriots season Nov. 13.

The feet of Liberty High School senior anchor Lauryn Hepp flip out of the water on the turn as teammates scream her on for the final lap of the 400-yard freestyle relay race which would determine the Class 2A girls swim team championship. Ellie Hohensinner, Reegan Weber, Taylor Clay and Hepp won in 3 minutes, 40.09 seconds and gave the Patriots the crown.

BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS Liberty wins second straight swim title, Skyline picks up first since 2011

By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com Liberty coach Kris Daughters sent her team a group text message the evening of Nov. 13.

“Go to bed,” it read.

At 8:30 p.m. the night before the final day of the Class 2A state swimming and diving meet, that was easier said than done, said Liberty seniors Ellie Hohensinner and Lauryn Hepp.

Sleep was hard to come by as the Patriots felt the pressure from a Squalicum team looking to dethrone the 2014 state champions. Squalicum looked poised to edge Liberty after the meet’s first day at Federal Way’s King County Aquatic Center.

“We knew it was going to be super close,” Hepp said. “We knew that we had some points to make up.”

It came down to the very last race, but Liberty rallied to win its second straight 2A state title Nov. 14.

The Patriots did not dominate as they did in 2014 — Liberty won only two events, as opposed to seven last year. But after losing star athletes such as Cecilia Nelson and Mackenna Briggs to graduation, the Patriots knew they had to employ a different strategy to repeat, Hepp said.

“We lost some strong swimmers, so this year, we had to kind of come together as a team a little more and make up some points,” she said.

The team aligned together like never before Saturday, Hohensinner said. The group was spirited, enthusiastic and determined, she added.

It showed. To win the

title, the Patriots had to be better than they were Friday. Several swimmers improved Saturday and moved up in the final races.

Hohensinner and freshman Reegan Weber got the momentum going in the 200-yard freestyle.

Weber, seeded seventh, improved to fourth in the finals, while Hohensinner, seeded third, moved up a spot to second.

Junior Sydney Hartford went from eighth to seventh in the 50 freestyle; diver Belle Wong improved four spots to take seventh in the 1-meter diving competition; Hepp was all smiles after finishing third in the 100 freestyle, moving up five spots from her preliminary seeding; freshman Rachel King improved one spot to take sixth in the 100 backstroke; sophomore Abby Russell went from sixth to fifth in the 100 breaststroke; and Weber improved a spot to fifth in the 500 freestyle.

The relay teams kicked it up a notch, too. The 200 freestyle relay team went from a fourth seed to a second place finish, while the 400 freestyle relay team improved a spot to win the title.

“There’s something about the air in the state final — the podium, the music; it’s something,” Hohensinner said. “It’s definitely a very cool vibe in here.”

Hohensinner was the Patriots’ only individual winner. She repeated as 500 freestyle champ with a time of 5 minutes, 07.66 seconds.

Russell also finished third in the 200 individual medley; and Hepp took second

The Skyline High School girls swim team shrieks their joy for the 400-yard freestyle relay team which came from behind to win the last race of the evening and give the Spartans the 293 points they needed for the Class 4A state championship Nov. 14 at the King County Aquatic Center. and Sierra Lesnik eighth in the 100 backstroke.

Skyline freshmen propel swim team to state title A typical Skyline swim practice sounds like a fun, loud, boisterous affair.

As senior Kathy Lin described it, the Spartans’ bevy of talented freshmen brought a new spirit – and noise – to the program.

“They’re the most energetic bunch ever. At swim practice, it takes so long to get them quiet,” Lin joked, “but I really think it’s that energy that fueled our team to win.”

Thanks to a freshman class that looks poised to keep the Spartans at, or near, the top for years to come, Skyline picked up its first Class 4A state title since 2011 at Federal Way’s King County Aquatic Center on Nov. 14.

Freshmen Sarah DiMeco, Christina Bradley and Danika Himes each picked

up two individual medals.

DiMeco took second in the 200-yard freestyle and 500 freestyle; Bradley finished second in the 200 individual medley and seventh in the 100 backstroke; and Himes earned sixth in the 200 IM and second in the 100 breaststroke.

Additionally, freshmen Stephanie Young, Catherine McRae and Lauren Sayles all swam in consolation finals and participated on relay teams.

Sayles won the 200 IM consolation, McRae won the 100 free consolation and Young won the 500 free consolation.

“That’s an incredibly special group,” Skyline coach Susan Simpkins said. “There will be some great things coming from them.”

Skyline started and ended the meet with two victories. The Spartans finished first in the 200 medley relay to kick off the day, and clinched the state title with a first-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay at the end.

Skyline rides defense, Rashaad Boddie to playoff win

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com For many of Skyline’s past teams, a superstar quarterback and a highoctane passing game were the signature pieces.

This year, however, the Spartans are showing some of the state’s best teams they can win with a gritty ground attack and rocksolid defense.

Skyline used the legs of Colorado State-bound senior running back Rashaad Boddie and an organized defensive effort that gave up only two touchdowns, and held on for a 17-15 victory over the visiting Gig Harbor Tides in a Class 4A

state football playoff game Nov. 14.

Boddie, a 6-foot, 225-pounder, pounded out 185 yards on 25 carries, including touchdown runs of 56 and 79 yards as the Spartans (10-1) advanced to the state quarterfinals.

They’ll host Camas at 3 p.m. Nov. 21 for a chance to return to the Tacoma Dome for the semifinals for the first time since 2012.

Skyline also handed Gig Harbor its first loss of the season with a dominant defensive effort, holding the Tides 33 points below their season average.

“It was all about being disciplined and how we prepared ourselves,” Boddie said, “no matter

how long it takes to get there on the journey. We had to execute with the rain – ball can’t be dropping on the ground, and we had to finish today.”

The Tides took an early 8-0 lead, going 80 yards on their opening possession.

Quarterback Davis Alexander hit a wide-open Kyle Olson-Urbon behind the secondary for a 34-yard score, and running back Adrian Valona added the two-point conversion.

Skyline responded just three minutes later as Boddie broke a couple tackles for a 56-yard TD, narrowing Gig Harbor’s lead to 8-7.

It stayed that way until the third quarter, when Skyline quarterback Blake Gregory hit Caleb Johnston on a 53-yard catchand-run, setting up Jack Crane’s 20-yard field goal for a 10-8 Spartans lead.

After the defense forced a three-and-out, the Skyline offense needed just one play to get back in the end zone as Boddie broke free down the left sideline for 79 yards.

But the Spartans converted two crucial third downs on their following series. Gregory scrambled for six yards on a thirdand-4, then found Jake Pendergast for 16 yards on third-and-8.

By the time the Tides forced a punt, they were out of timeouts and got the ball at their own 12 with 1 second left. An incompletion on a short pass ended the game.

the Vikings took a 21-20 lead to halftime.

The Vikings extended their lead to 42-26 in the fourth quarter on TD runs from Eason and Andrew Grimes. Eason finished 24 of 37 for 283 yards.

Humphrey, a senior, had a solid final game in an Eagles uniform, hitting 16 of 28 passes for 249 yards and three scores, but didn’t get much help as Issaquah managed only 18 yards rushing.

“They’re phenomenal – they’re a very, very good team,” Taylor said. “They fought until the very end, which we expected.

And I’m so proud of our defense, our defensive coordinator Ryan Thorsen and our staff.”

offensive line.

“They made big things for me happen,” Boddie said. “I’m proud of them.

I’m going to get on them on next week … and we’re just going to keep getting better.”

The wet weather, a need to control possession and Gig Harbor’s defensive system dictated Skyline’s focus on the run game.

“They run a very unique defense that you don’t see very often and … you have to run the football right at it,” Taylor said. “That was the game plan. Really, the first drive was very intentional. We ran it every play.”

“It feels good to finish my career as a state champion,” she said.

Darian Himes, also a senior, finished seventh in the 200 individual medley and was 10th overall in the 100 breaststroke. Sophomore Abby Heneghan took 15th overall in the 500 freestyle. Skyline’s 200 freestyle relay team finished fifth.

The Spartans battled KingCo Conference rival Newport for the top spot much of the day. Skyline edged the Knights, 293257. The Newport-Skyline battles should continue for years to come, as the Knights have their own class of talented freshmen, led by Yulia Groysman, who edged DiMeco for first place in the 200 and 500 freestyle races.
