Police still have no motive in killing of local businessman By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com

Children and a teacher from a daycare and preschool in Citrusdal, South Africa, were some of the people Sammamish residents Rob and Jan Mathis helped during a humanitarian mission. The Mathises worked with the South African community for nearly a year, and have plans to return late this summer.

Sammamish couple supports needy families in South African village By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com Rob and Jan Mathis concede that what they saw during their 10-month stay in South Africa wasn’t out of the ordinary for an impoverished area, except for one important distinction. “In South Africa, there are just huge contrasts,” Jan Mathis said. “I think there are here, too, but not to that extent.” She illustrated her point when talking about the daycare she worked at, a dilapidated building in Citrusdal, a town of 7,000 people about 100 miles north of Cape Town. Jan Mathis wanted to incorporate some educational activities to shift it into more of a preschool, but the two other women who worked there were barely literate, and the place was filthy most of the time, with soiled mattresses serving a dual

function as changing tables and beds. “Right down the road, there is a gorgeous preschool with the most elaborate playground I have ever seen anywhere, much nicer than anything I’ve seen in Sammamish,” she said. The town is racially divided — whites, mixed races and blacks not only live in separate areas but also speak different languages and have their own cultural customs. Blacks live in River View, an area that amounts to a squatter’s camp, with no permanent homes, and some of the residents live on $5 a day. Whites tend to be financially secure, hence the preschool that was open to those who could afford it. The Mathises lived in South Africa from August 2013 until July 2014, when a family illness brought them back to Sammamish, their home of 25

years. Rob Mathis is retired from a 23-year career in the King County Sheriff’s Office, and Jan formerly worked as a victim’s advocate at the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. Jan went back to South Africa briefly in March, and the couple hopes to return together in August. In the meantime, they’re trying to do what they can from afar. In conjunction with their congregation at the Sammamish Presbyterian Church, and a South African charity group, Help Us Grow, they’re organizing a two-day rummage sale later this month to raise money for the needy children and families they closely interacted with. The premise of Help Us Grow, or HUG, is to teach the residents how to be self-sufficient in feeding and educating See AFRICA, Page 2

Medical personnel described wounds to 24-yearold murder suspect Erik Luden as self-inflicted, according to court papers supplied by Whitman County Superior Court. The papers describe some of the wounds as “hesitation” cuts. Erik Luden told 911 dispatchers he retaliated against an attack by his father Victor Luden, 58. Victor Luden, a Sammamish resident and businessman, died in his son’s Pullman apartment near Washington State University at about 5 p.m. May 20, according to Pullman Police Cmdr. Chris Tennant.

Locally, Deb Sogge, executive director of the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce, said she remembers Victor Luden, known mostly by his middle name, Cliff, as a well-respected businessman, someone looked up to in the chamber and the community. Luden was a mortgage broker running his own firm, Sage Home Loans, for roughly 20 years, Sogge said. “The thing I liked about Cliff was he always went a step beyond to make sure people didn’t buy something they couldn’t afford,” Sogge added. According to court papers, at 4:47 p.m. May 20, a Pullman 911 operator received a call from Erik Luden’s apartSee KILLING, Page 2

Suspect is linked to 17 thefts from vehicles By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com A suspect or suspects hit dozens of parked cars throughout Sammamish, resulting in more than 50 thefts between May 19 and 30, Police Chief Nate Elledge said. On May 19, “we just started getting reports from all over the city,” Elledge added. He said police didn’t know if the various thefts were related. However, on June 1, Sammamish Police arrested a man, 21, at a hotel in Mountlake Terrace. Officials had search warrants for the suspect’s hotel room and vehicle. Elledge said officers recovered laptops and numerous other items with a total value of about $60,000. Elledge added police have evidence linking the man to at least 17 car break-ins in Sammamish, Klahanie and Redmond.

“This guy was probably feeling pretty successful,” Elledge said. Although his name has appeared in other media, Elledge declined to release the suspect’s name. He also would not go into details as to what led police to the arrest. Elledge did say the suspect is a male in his early 20s. As of last week, he was sitting in a King County jail, Elledge said. He added that while police have not linked the suspect to every recent car break-in, the number of incidents has dropped off sharply since the arrest.

Africa From Page 1 themselves. Rob Mathis’ job was overseeing several construction projects in schools, installing everything from new walls and floors to electricity, heating and air conditioning. The next step, he said, is to build a nutrition center, where the poor can come to get meals each day. “As much as possible, we used local people, particularly people from this little squatter’s camp, to do the work,” he said. “The idea is, you hand it off to them like a baton. It’s not us coming in, and we know all the right things, but we kind of help them, and then they take it and it’s

where the public can go to learn about the ongoing work there. Residents are actively trying to create a more effective educational environment that will prepare young children for the rigors of elementary school. The Mathises hope to be part of that effort again, although they stress the money they’re raising from the rummage sale is helping the South African charity, and not their travel budget. “It’s so transformational for us to go, because the people, it humbles you at how loving and giving they are. And they have nothing,” Rob said. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had,” Jan added. “I’ve never done anything I’ve liked more. You really felt like you were doing something.”

ment. The call was disconnected by the caller before any exchange of information. When the 911 dispatcher called the number back, Erik Luden stated he had been attacked by his father, adding, “I responded.” The dispatcher then asked Erik what he had done. “I hit him with a pot,” Erik told the dispatcher, “in the head, a kitchen pot.” After some further exchanges, the dispatcher tried to determine if the elder Luden was breathing. He was not, Erik told the dispatcher, who tried to coach Erik through CPR for his father. Court papers say it’s not clear whether Erik tried to revive his father. Upon arriving at the apartment, police say they found Erik standing over his unconscious father. Reports say police began CPR, as did medics when they arrived. Victor Luden eventually was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said

they found a kitchen pot and a butter knife near the body. In a press release, Pullman Police say a subsequent autopsy of Victor Luden showed he died of blunt force trauma to the head and neck. There was evidence of multiple blunt force trauma impacts to the head as well as evidence of choking and a crushed larynx. Pathologists believe “multiple” instruments caused the injuries. Investigators said in a news release from Pullman Police that they believe Victor Luden was struck repeatedly by the suspect’s fists, and possibly a kitchen pot and table knife. With police accompanying him, Erik Luden was taken to Pullman Regional Hospital. Nurses told police he had three allegedly self-inflicted knife wounds along with a broken right hand. Again according to court documents, a Pullman detective was able to speak with Erik’s neighbor. The neighbor stated Erik had contacted her earlier in the day to ask if she wanted some kitchen items, as he was moving. The neighbor declined. She told police

that at about 4:30 p.m. she heard a single loud “thump,” as if a hammer had hit the floor of Erik’s apartment. The neighbor also heard some separate light tapping after the loud “thump.” The neighbor did not hear any sounds of an argument in the apartment, she told police. As of last week, Erik Luden was in the Whitman County Jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond. He made his first appearance in Whitman County Superior Court on June 1. Police had asked the court to set Luden’s bail high, as they considered him a potential threat to himself and to others. Luden was back in court for an arraignment June 5 and pleaded not guilty. A jury trial is set for July 20. Police do not have a motive for the alleged crime and said Luden immediately invoked his right to remain silent and asked for an attorney when they arrived on the scene. In addition to Erik Luden, Victor Luden is survived by Shannon Luden, his wife of 30 years, and a daughter, Haley, 21.

More than half, about 250,000, of the children in Western Washington lose school access to free/ reduced-price breakfast/ lunch during the summer months, and less than 10 percent have access to summer meal programs. Food donations may be made through June 30 at Fred Meyer and QFC stores in Washington and Oregon, including

Issaquah, and cash donations can be made at Fred Meyer checkout registers and online. A little does a lot: For every $10 donated, local food banks can distribute enough food to feed a family of four for three to five days.

Ambience aside, August Moon offers great dining

By David Hayes

At August Moon Chinese Restaurant in Sammamish, customers can sample a wide variety of ethnic dishes, including the Dragon and Phoenix combination specialty of sauteed prawns and General Tso’s chicken; or the Vermicelli in Satay Sauce. By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com Appearances can be deceiving. Take for example, August Moon. Don’t decide whether to eat there or not by its empty parking lot at 2 p.m. on a weekday, or by the Yelp review that described the interior as a Chinese retirement home, with a décor that hasn’t been updated since 1982. If you went by appearances alone, you’d be missing out on a darn fine meal with some of the best customer service. The waiter explained that a lot of the business during the week is from the high-tech crowd coming home from work and

grabbing some takeout. And luckily, the outdated décor has no affect on the quality of food from the sizable menu. The lunch menu, available through 3 p.m., a nice bonus for the late arriving mid-day crowd, offers a wide selection after the typical choice

of soups (hot and sour, egg flower or wonton) and rice (fried, steamed or brown). The combo for vegetable dishes is $8.25; chicken and pork $8.50; beef $8.95; and shrimp $9.25. My philosophy is to try a staple of a restaurant’s cuisine to see how it

stacks up with other local eateries. So I went with the Dragon and Phoenix combination specialty, which featured sautéed prawns and General Tso’s chicken. My dining companion, in a similar vein, likes to see how well a restaurant prepares its specialty. So he ordered the Seafood & Vermicelli in Satay Sauce from the Authentic Chinese Dishes section. Being from the dinner menu section, both orders came in at $14.95. My General Tso’s was just short of drowned in sauce. Luckily, it had the right amount of spices and sweetness typical of the dish making it as good as any other wellprepared General Tso’s I’ve had. The prawn sauce was just short of bland, but a little extra soy sauce and it was kicked up to the right notch of tastiness. And the vegetables were all fresh and crunchy. While the vermicelli noodles had a “slimy” look, again, appearances can be deceptive. My dining companion said with the melt-in-your-mouth seafood, it was one of the best Chinese dishes he’d ever had. About that customer service — my combo platter came with soup (a delicious hot and sour for my taste buds). The waiter didn’t want my dining companion to wait salivating while watching me eat, so he brought him a bowl of his own, on the house. The waiter also took

the time to answer all of our questions and keep our water glasses full, a detail often overlooked in the industry. My only complaint would have to be the size of the menu. Rather than specializing in a few great dishes, they’ve decided to offer everything under the moon. With numerous options in appetizers,

soups, house specialties, combination specialties, authentic dishes, beef, seafood, egg foo young, poultry, pork, vegetable, tofu, noodles, fried rice and dessert, the selection process can be daunting. But with our small sample size, we were left with the appearance that you can’t go wrong with August Moon.

OPINION

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Editorial

sorry kids, but no fish for you in the future. Thanks to your city of Sammamish, and its leaders. David C. Hagert Sammamish

Lawmakers: Fund education with capital-gains tax A capital-gains tax is the best option on the table to fully fund education in Washington state. Senate leaders have agreed on a bipartisan proposal to meet the state’s constitutional obligation to fully fund basic education and provide an equitable education for all students. They also agree more revenue will be needed — about $3.5 billion every two years — but now need to decide where it should come from. This would be a long-term funding source as lawmakers replace local education levies with state funding. This is a hard pill to swallow, especially for tax-averse Republicans who just won a majority in the state Senate. The leading options are increased property taxes or a limited tax on capital gains. Property-tax proposals so far would disproportionately place the burden on people who own homes and business properties in King County. That is not a reasonable fix and would compound the housing-affordability problem that now threatens growth in the core of the state’s economy. A capital-gains tax, with ironclad limitations to prevent it from being used for anything other than education, is more palatable. Capital-gains taxes are common — all but nine states have them, according to the Tax Foundation. Two capital-gains tax proposals are on the table. Neither would tax gains on the sale of residences, agricultural land or most livestock. Also safe would be retirement-account gains. Both would lock proceeds into education funds. A proposal in the Senate would apply a 7 percent capital-gains tax to 0.1 percent of the state’s residents, or about 7,500 residents. It would only apply to gains over $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for couples. A state House proposal calls for a 5 percent tax that would affect 0.5 percent of residents, or about 32,000 people. It would apply to capital gains above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for couples. Capital-gains revenue would fluctuate with the stock market. The House proposal addresses this by creating a “student investment fund” to fund basic K-12 education and keep higher-education tuition steady. Additional revenue in strong years would be saved, building a reserve to cover costs during down years. Arguments that these are stealth income taxes should be heard in context. The income in question is largely profits generated by very large investment portfolios, above and beyond retirement accounts. Taxpayers at this level have benefited directly or indirectly from public investments in education. They would benefit further by supporting an equitable system that provides equal opportunity for students in every school to learn and help build Washington’s future.

Some city officials care about the residents

Letters to the Editor All citizens should be treated fairly In the May 18 Committee of the Whole meeting, Mayor Tom Vance allowed yet another breach of meeting protocol that should not be duplicated. Mark Cross, who should be well-versed on procedure, having been mayor at one time, asked to make a comment pertaining to the Klahanie annexation timeline well outside of public comment. Vance obliged Cross’ request, and allowed him to inject his commentary. Earlier in the same meeting, another citizen requested to make a comment, and was denied by Vance. Not only is this unprecedented break in meeting procedure unsettling, but is illuminating on what appears to be cronyism. I would ask our mayor to strictly follow procedure,

respecting that it exists for order and fairness. Should candidates for council feel they’d like to weigh in on subject matter in the future, there is a public comment period during meetings for which that can be done. Mid-stream in a meeting is not the time or place. I look forward to serving the citizens of Sammamish on the City Council in a manner that is transparent and virtuous. Christie Malchow Sammamish

Some in city care more about development than kokanee I can’t believe the City Council, and the mayor, would approve this housing project adjoining Chestnut Estates.

Why do you think these fish died in the first place? Did the people sitting on the council ask the people who live on the plateau about the development? NO! The government, both federal and the state, is spending a lot of money on restoring the habitat around our watersheds, and that includes our native fish like the kokanee. This fish was here before any development happened anywhere in the state of Washington. And here we want to wipe it out before it has any chance whatsoever. All because of some rich guy named William Buchan. Is money all he thinks about? And do the mayor and the council think the same? Sorry state of affairs indeed, especially with my friend U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell helping with the return of kokanee. Well,

As King County is winding up work along the northern segment of the East Lake Sammamish Trail and preparing to start construction of the final two, I have concerns about the public’s knowledge of issues still unresolved between lakeside residents and the county. As a shoreline resident and property owner of 48 years, I have long questioned King County’s continued contention it “owns” the property on which the interim trail now lies and the property adjacent to it, and have questioned the county’s “need” for a 20-foot-wide trail with sightlines more suited for a five- or six-lane freeway. Property owners in the northern segment have incurred destruction to and taking of their private property, loss of privacy and a bull-headed approach from the county in respect to landscaping their own yards. The residents in Segment 2A, 95 percent designed and next in line, would face all of the same if it were not for city officials in recent months. Three should be recognized especially. I want to thank Ben Yazici, our hard-working, devoted city manager, for taking time to meet with many of us in See LETTERS, Page 5

Bobcat sighting near Creekside Elementary brings safety tips A bobcat was sighted near Creekside Elementary School last week, according to an email from the school to families. “A community sighting is just a reminder that coyotes, cougars, bears, bobcats, and other animals always live around our residences and schools,” the email said. It also contained these safety tips to keep in front of your students and family year round:

Students q Never make direct eye contact with a threatening animal. q Never turn and run away from a wild animal; slowly back away from the animal and make yourself

appear as big as possible. q Never feed or interact with any unknown animal. q Report any unknown animal sighting to an adult.

Families q Keep garbage and compost piles securely covered. q Keep pet food and water inside and keep pets indoors or confined in a kennel or covered exercise yard. q Do not feed wildlife on the ground, keep wild bird seed in elevated feeders designed for birds, and clean up spilled seed from the ground. q Do not feed feral cats; coyotes prey on the cats and feed on cat food left out for them.

From Page 4 Segments 2A and 2B these past months, for listening to us and, more important, doing something about it. He will be sorely missed come February. I salute Nancy Whitten, not only for her many years of service to the community, but also for her genuine respect for it. Enjoy your upcoming retirement. I want to give a nod to Councilman Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo. During his term in office, Ramiro has proven to be an advocate of the people, a protector of our given rights and has provided great support to the shoreline residents, especially while others turned their backs. His positive attitude and willingness to stand alone has led to King County’s more flexible attitude in recent weeks and at least a few needed changes to the initial trail plan. With Ben and Nancy leaving, I believe shoreline residents and all Sammamish citizens — with concerns regarding their own neighborhoods — should see that Valderrama-Aramayo retains his seat on the council. He certainly has earned my support. Jim Creevey Sammamish

The district recently received a Standard & Poor’s Rating Services upgrade from ‘AA’ to ‘AA+’

for its existing debt and for the Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2015, according to a news release. The refunding bonds were priced by the district’s bond underwriters May 14. Moody’s Investors Service assigned its highest possible rating, ‘Aaa,’ to the bonds. “One of our goals is to use resources effectively and be fiscally responsible,” Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent, said in the release. “We seek these kinds of opportunities to save taxpayer dollars.” S&P stated the upgraded rating reflects their view

SAMMAMISH REVIEW of the Lake Washington School District’s: q Large and growing tax base; q Good financial management practices, including multiyear financial forecasting and a long-term capital plan; q History of voter support for supplemental operating and capital levies; q Strong available reserves that are likely to remain strong for the next few years; and q Low debt, relative to the tax base. The ‘AA+’ rating is the highest rating assigned by S&P to any school district in the state. It is shared by only three districts: Bellevue, Issaquah and now Lake Washington. S&P rates the state of Washington, the main source of funding for school districts, ‘AA+’ as well. Moody’s assigns its highest possible rating of ‘Aaa’ to the district’s UTGO debt, based on the large tax base, strong wealth levels and structurally balanced financial operations. Lake Washington is one of five districts in the state to attain this elite credit rating. The others are Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Issaquah. “It is our goal to prudently manage the resources our community has entrusted us with,” Barbara Posthumus, director of

On Sunday, June 21, the Sammamish YMCA joins the nation in celebrating Father’s Day and recognizing the impact fathers and adult male role models make in children’s lives. A leading nonprofit in fostering positive youth development, the Y is dedicated to providing resources and opportunities for fathers to further involve themselves in the wellbeing and development of their children. Studies show that children with close relationships with their fathers and other adult male role models have more selfconfidence and exhibit less depression, perform better academically, and engage in significantly less drug and alcohol use. The Sammamish Y offers Adventure Guides, an action-oriented program

that fosters relationships between fathers and their children. Father/child pairs form circles with families in their neighborhood or school and meet once a month for games, crafts, stories and other activities. Programs are available for 3- to 5-year-olds (Y-Tykes), kindergarten through third-graders (Y-Guides and Y-Princesses) and fourth-graders and up (Westerners). “I did Adventure Guides with my dad, and now I’m doing it with my son. I remember my dad wearing the same headdress that I’m wearing now while I run the campfire. The same campfire that he ran, while I hit the drum next to him, like my son does now,” said Sam LeClercq, an Eastside YMCA Adventure Guides participant. “It feels incredible to stay with a program for long enough to watch it come full circle and make the same memories with my son that I did with my dad. “It wouldn’t be possible without the Y — I think it goes without saying that we’re incredibly thankful that this program and the Y exist.” Learn more about Adventure Guides in Sammamish by emailing Stacy Holdren at sholdren@seattleymca.org or go to www.sammamishymca. org.

Eastside, Redmond firefighters battle to extinguish blaze at lakeside home By Greg Farrar

Firefighters from Eastside Fire & Rescue and the Redmond Fire Department drain, roll up and pack their fire hoses after putting out a house fire at 2927 East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast at 2:45 p.m. June 11. The first call was received at 1:26 p.m. and the first engines arriving observed a thermal column rising from a back corner of the home from a mile away, Deputy Chief Greg Tryon said. Challenges included keeping firefighters hydrated in the hot weather and keeping the fire from spreading to dry brush, which has come very early in the fire season, Tryon added. It’s a timely warning to homeowners to do preventative landscape maintenance for summer. East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast was closed for roughly two hours and traffic was detoured around the area.

Joint replacement isn’t a life saver. But it is a lifestyle saver.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Even veteran gardeners can be fooled by drought By Jane Garrison Special to Sammamish Review In April, I wrote about the beautiful spring we were having. It was dry and sunny for so many days. It didn’t dawn on me that in April we might have to water. I have never watered that early, usually not until June. My yard doesn’t use much water; it’s mostly natives with a few special plants and containers that need spot watering.

Skyline students awarded more than $3 million in scholarships Skyline High School and the Issaquah School District are grateful for the generosity of the community who contributed in part to more than $3 million in scholarships to

One of those needy plantings is a dwarf boxwood hedge surrounding my upper-level deck. Years ago, my husband built the deck and put low-shingled walls around the edge to act as a railing. I bought big Rubbermaid tubs on sale, put drainage holes in them and installed them behind the walls. I knew someday my boxwood would be root bound, but I thought those big tubs would last for years, and they have. This year, I noticed the

leaves were wilting at the end of April. When plants are root bound, they look like they have dried out, but this soil still felt damp on top. Had the time come when I would have to remove more than 50 boxwood plants and repot? How could I possibly do it? Maybe I should just pitch the whole mess over the side. It went on for days — my worry and the plants drooping more and more. A short-term solution finally came to mind. I would sharpen a

narrow board, 1-by-3, and push it into the soil all around the edges. Then, I could make up a perlite mixture with soil and stuff it into those holes next to the planters. It would be a huge job, but at least I wouldn’t have to lift each plant out of the container. I sawed a sharp point at the end of the board and got the biggest hammer I could find. I pounded that board into the soil next to the planter wall. Guess what. It went right in! There was no resistance

from all those imagined roots. I pulled it out. It was not only clean; it was bone dry. You are thinking how stupid is she? Why wouldn’t she know? She’s an old master gardener and a landscape architect. Remember, I did feel the soil, and it was damp. It must’ve been damp on top due to dew. But the big thing that fooled me was the timing. Never have I needed to water before June, and the plants were dry at the end of April. I was totally fooled.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Spirited effort not enough for Gunners FC in 1-0 loss By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com With the exception of one lopsided loss, Puget Sound Gunners FC has shown it can compete against every team in the Northwest Division of the Premier Development League. The Gunners’ latest result, a 1-0 loss to the divisionleading Kitsap Pumas on June 14 at Issaquah High School, was indicative of that trend. Puget Sound is winless in its first seven matches, but it has managed three ties, and three of its four losses were of the one-goal variety. It’s a frustrating trend for the players, who feel like their efforts deserve higher rewards. “We put together chunks of what’s been showing in other games, sporadically, and put it together against a good side today, and we deserved something out of that game,” Gunners left back Robert Hyams said. Puget Sound is comprised of college players from across the United States and Canada, including some with international experience, like Hyams, an Englishman. A couple of players are products of area high schools, or came through the youth system with the Issaquah Soccer Club. Puget Sound (0-4-3, 3 points) played tough against first-place Kitsap (6-0-0, 18 points) in two regular-season matches, falling 1-0 both times. Defense has been the Gunners’ strong suit: Outside of a 5-0 shellacking against the Seattle Sounders U23s, they’ve allowed a respectable 10 goals in six matches. But they haven’t clicked offensively, getting shut out three times. That was the case against the Pumas, who got a 12th-minute goal from midfielder Nick Hamer and were content to sit back defensively for the rest of the match. Gunners goalkeeper Cody Jewett, who made two saves, said the goal was the result of a bit of confusion See GUNNERS, Page 13

Prep football kicks into gear at Skyline tournament By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com When high-school spring sports like baseball, soccer and track end, it marks the start of the season for football teams, who began their offseason workouts last week. For 11 teams in the region, the first competitive event of the 2015 season was June 13 at Skyline High School’s eighth annual Skills and Drills on the Hill event, which featured a seven-on-seven passing competition for quarterbacks and receivers.

The high-speed format takes place on a 40-yard field, with a center, a quarterback and five receivers taking on seven defensive backs. There are no pads or helmets, one-hand touch tackling rules, and offenses have three downs to make 20 yards for a first down, then an additional four downs to reach the end zone. The competitive juices tend to get going quickly for players who haven’t gone up against an opposing school in several months. Teams played in several 25-minute games. “I think it’s extremely good for us, because during practice, JVs will

go against the varsity, and it’s good competition, but you’re kind of going against the scout team,” said Blake Gregory, who returns as Skyline’s starting quarterback. “But now we’re out here playing against other varsity teams, so it’s good to build that chemistry with each other.” With a full week of practices under their belts, the Spartans didn’t look rusty at the passing competition. Gregory, a 6-foot-3 senior captain, sprayed throws all over the field to See FOOTBALL, Page 14

Skyline graduate Kelli Sullivan takes her soccer game to international level By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com After becoming one of the most accomplished high-school players in the Puget Sound area, Kelli Sullivan is looking to add to her accolades on a bigger stage. Sullivan, who graduated from Skyline High School last week, will play NCAA Division I women’s soccer this fall at Colorado College. She’s also getting a unique opportunity to play internationally through the

school, as the program was chosen to represent the United States next month at the World University Games. Typically, the U.S. squad that goes to the biennial games is an all-star roster of collegiate players from across the nation, but not this time. Colorado College coach Geoff Bennett selected the team after tryouts in April, and Sullivan was one of five incoming freshmen to make the 20-player traveling squad. “Obviously, I’m super excited and

so grateful to have this opportunity,” said Sullivan, a standout midfielder who helped Skyline win state titles in 2011 and ’12, along with a third-place finish last fall. Team USA heads to Gwangju, South Korea, for the World University Games, commonly referred to as the Universiade because it serves as the Olympics for college athletes. Similar to the World Cup, soccer teams are placed in groups of four See SULLIVAN, Page 13

Gunners From Page 12 along the back line. Hamer got between two defenders, ran onto a pass, and toepoked the ball past Jewett to the far post. Puget Sound has conceded the first goal in each of its seven games, another reason for the winless drought. “We try to work together, and maybe we sit too deep in some situations, which then causes us to open up pockets for them to play it in,” Jewett said. “It’s sort of the reason why they keep getting these early goals, so we’re not being more aggressive and pushing higher up than we should.” Hyams, who plays collegiately at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, was responsible for a large part of Puget Sound’s offensive attack. He had several chances in dead-ball situations — the Pumas committed 21 fouls and conceded four corner kicks — although he said he felt his accuracy wasn’t the best. “I take set pieces in college, and it’s something I pride myself on,” he said.

Sullivan From Page 12 in round-robin pool play. The Americans will match up against South Africa on July 2, France on July 4 and Canada on July 6. The top two teams from each of the four pools advance to the knockout stages, with the championship match July 13. Sullivan isn’t the only Northwest-bred player going to the tournament. Bennett also chose two of his former players, forward Rachel Herron and midfielder Jessie Ayers. Herron graduated from Redmond High School, and Ayers from Roosevelt High in Seattle. Participants in the University Games have to be between 17 and 25 years old. “Selecting the roster was one of the hardest decisions, if not the hardest decision, we’ve had to make during our time here at Colorado College,” Bennett said in a news release. “There were a lot of intangibles that went into the decision making — the

Puget Sound Gunners FC forward Charles Pitts, the team’s leading goal scorer this season, tries to shake free of a Kitsap Pumas defender during the Gunners’ 1-0 loss June 14 at Issaquah High School. “If you can add that to your game as a fullback, you become a weapon offensively to the team. “Today, probably, my delivery wasn’t what I’d like it to be. You pride yourself on perfection, and you want to hit it perfect every time. Sometimes it doesn’t work.” Jewett said he liked what he saw from a defensive standpoint, but the Gunners seemed to be too impatient to break down a Kitsap side that was very organized and had the advantage after the early goal. “I think we need to just play more simple, play more

on the ground, not so much forcing it in the corners,” he said. Puget Sound goes on a two-game road trip to Oregon this weekend in search of its first win. First up are the Portland Timbers U23s, a 7:30 p.m. start June 19. The Gunners then play Lane United FC in Springfield, Oregon, a noon kickoff June 21. “Today, we deserved something out of the game,” Hyams said, “so it’s a stepping stone to go and win games next week, because that’s what we must do next week.”

system that we are playing, positional needs and experience.” Sullivan said the tryout for Team USA was the first chance she had to practice with and play against her Colorado College teammates, and she tried not to worry about the final result. “The worst case was, I didn’t make this team, and it’s a really incredible team,” she said, “so you go in there and do your best, and whatever happens is fine.” Sullivan is used to playing in pressure-packed environments. Along with many state-tournament games at Skyline, she also led her select team, Eastside FC’s ’96 Red, to a pair of league titles. She earned a spot with the state’s Olympic Development Program, and helped that squad reach the regional-tournament semifinals in 2014. Winding up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, wasn’t something she envisioned a few years ago. She’d never heard of Colorado College until Eastside FC coach Chance Fry helped her make a connection, but after visiting, Sullivan

quickly realized it was the right place for her. “It’s a smaller school, which makes it a little more comfortable,” Sullivan said. “I just love the atmosphere, and I thought it was somewhere I could flourish and become the person I want to become in a couple years.” She was one of seven players who signed a National Letter of Intent this spring to play for Bennett, and she may be asked to shift away from the attacking midfielder’s role she thrived in at Skyline. “Kelli is our defensiveminded midfielder of this signing class,” Bennett said in a February news release. “She excels at sitting in the hole, breaking up the opposition’s attack and distributing to start our own attack.” With the FIFA Women’s World Cup going on, Sullivan is taking pride seeing her sport receive more attention, and is relishing the chance to play for her country. “It’s so cool that we’re going to represent Team USA,” she said. “It’s something I’m going to remember forever.”

EC baseball team named academic state champion The Eastside Catholic High School baseball team was named the 2015 Class 3A academic state champion, a May 17 news release from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association stated. The Crusaders had a combined grade-point average of 3.505, the highest among all 3A baseball programs in the state. EC also had a successful year on the field, advancing to the state tournament for the first time since 2012 and finishing with a 20-4 record. “This award is a huge honor for our team,” Crusaders coach Kyle Larsen said in the release. “The boys receive a lot of attention for the time and hard work they put on the field, and it’s great for them to receive recognition for the hard work and effort they put in the classroom as well. I’m very proud of them.”

Football From Page 12 guys like Danny Sinatro, Jake Pendergast and Bradley Kim. Due to ACT testing, some notable Skyline players, like running back Rashaad Boddie, were missing on the first day of the event, making room for players like Nik Kourtis and Jordan Shim to get additional time on the field. Gregory, whose first season as Skyline’s starter ended with a 6-4 record and a heartbreaking home playoff defeat to Skyview, has one more chance to lead his team as a senior and is looking to step up his game. Along with individual workouts where Gregory will look to perfect passing routes, the Spartans’ summer schedule also includes team camps at the University of Washington and the University of Puget Sound. Through all of it, Gregory plans to lead by example. “Being the quarterback and the captain of the team, you’ve got to have that positive influence on everyone, make sure everyone is involved,” he said. Teams came from far and wide to Skyline, ranging from larger schools like

Kamiak and West Valley (Yakima), to mid-sized powerhouses like Peninsula and Glacier Peak, and a couple of smaller schools in Liberty and Meridian. Eastlake brought a couple dozen players, including its new starting quarterback, Mark Whitley, who will replace outgoing senior Blue Thomas. The Wolves will also have several new faces in their receiving corps. “It’s weird having some of those guys graduate now because they’ve been here for so long,” junior Cody Cox said. “But we’ve got guys that can step up and play for varsity.” Cox is one of the wideouts who should earn increased playing time.

Cox said he’s looking forward to working with the new batch of receivers, including seniors Will Esser and Cole Nason, and junior Parker Lester. Eastlake’s players are quickly getting familiar with the tactics of head coach Don Bartel and offensive coordinator Kyle Snell. “It’s just ingrained in our minds now after how many practices where we just keep running it,” Cox said. “I like the offense — coach Snell does a great job with it.”

Professor Don Deardorff in the Chemistry Department, conducting research to study “PalladiumCatalyzed Fridel-Crafts-type Allylic Arylation and Allyl Etherification.” Such an opportunity is rarely extended to under-

SAMMAMISH REVIEW graduates, as most students do not participate in research at this level until graduate school, according to a news release from the college. “Occidental College has a long tradition of involving undergraduate

students in meaningful research experiences,” Scott Bogue, associate dean and director of Sponsored and Undergraduate Research, said in the release. “For 10 weeks each summer, this

Client Testimonial

Scott & Kim We really do think you are unique in this day and age. Years ago I knew a man who owned his own real estate business & believed he was in the business of making people happy by finding them the right home. He considered it a calling. Today I think there are precious few left who share that value – but you two certainly do. Thanks for making this experience so easy for us! Scott and Kim Bobson did a terrific job selling our house. We knew they were the right brokers after our first interview with them. Others we interviewed are armed with standard sales presentations, and required we sign a contract before they would answer our questions. In contrast, the Bobson’s bring the confidence and in depth knowledge they have gained from 20 years experience in Sammamish real estate plus the flexibility that comes with owning their own business. With friendly, easy going manner, they are frank and open in answering questions as well as pro-active in providing information the seller needs to consider. They spent a good deal of time and effort with us, even before we signed the contract. Kim has a marvelous eye for what the market likes to see and a flair for making it happen. What is more, she rolls up her sleeves and does whatever is need to help out. Scott kept a close eye on a volatile market and worked with us right down to the last minute on determining when to list the house, and establishing the perfect price point. Their hard work paid off with a wildly successful two day open house resulting in multiple offers and a very advantageous sale. While our experience with Scott and Kim was as sellers, I have every confidence in recommending them both to sellers and buyers. They are models of integrity, transparency and firmly dedicated to achieving the absolute best possible outcome for their clients. Cynthia and Jonathan
