City plans virtual town hall Residents will get a chance to comment about growth in the city during the second virtual town hall launched this week. The virtual town hall is an online public-input tool that allows residents who are unable to attend city council meetings or other public forums to still voice their concerns or opinions and have them be heard by city staff and councilmembers. The first virtual town hall discusses communications methods and will remain open until late September. Since it’s launch on July 28 there have been over 600 visitors and 241 have provided a response to the survey. According to Larson the hardcopy city newsletter is the most-used source of city information and the preferred method of communication was email alerts. “Asking about communication was a good, safe way to get started, but now, with growth as the topic, it feels like we’re diving into the deep end,” Larson said. In conjunction with the second virtual town hall on growth, the city is hosting a round-table meeting on the same topic on Sept. 8 at 7 p.m., held at City Hall. Larson said a brief presentation on growth will be followed by small-group discussions led by councilmembers and planning commissioners with residents. “The Council wanted our second virtual town hall topic to be about growth so they could get an early glimpse of the feedback we’re likely to receive at the round-table meeting,” Larson said. To participate in either virtual town hall go to peakdemocracy.com/3838.

Contaminants found in Plateau water BY LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com
Trace amounts of perfluorooctane sulfonate, commonly known as PFOS, have been detected in a second Sammamish Plateau Water well that draws water from the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer. The detection is at a level significantly below what the Environmental
Protection Agency considers unsafe. According to the water district, this was the first time Well No. 8 had been tested since coming online in July.
Two samples, taken on July 27, detected PFOS levels of .026 and .029 parts per billion. The EPA has set a lifetime advisory level of 0.07 parts

opportunity to show everyone what is special about the businesses you love,” said Charles Horton, the Issaquah Press Group’s general manager. For the first time, the campaign will combine online voting and paper ballots to determine the best of the Eastside in more than 40 different categories, including best nonprofit, best customer service, best local attraction and best fine dining.
The winners will be announced in a formal reception at the Embassy Suites in Bellevue on Nov. 3. Firstplace winners will be honored on-stage and receive a commemorative plaque to display at their business. The community will eventually be able to purchase tickets to the event on sammamishreview.com. The ticket price includes a three-course meal, a
red-carpet arrival, the awards ceremony and piano entertainment by Keys on Main. Voting officially begins Sept. 1. Cast your votes at sammamishreview.com or look for the paper ballot in The Sammamish Review during September. Drop off paper ballots at select Eastside businesses or The Issaquah Press office, 1085 12th Ave. NW, Suite D1, Issaquah. Online voting closes
Oct. 9 and voting via ballot box wraps up Oct. 1. Look out for a voter’s guide to help you fill out your ballot in the Sept. 1 issue.

The affected wells, all drawing water from the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer, are the only municipal wells in the state to show PFOS detections. Both Sammamish Plateau Water wells that have shown the presence of PFOS draw water from the aquifer at a depth of approximately 70 feet. Sammamish Plateau Water Operations Manager Scott Jonas said the water district plans to work with the City of Issaquah to find a solution. He said the district is developing a monitoring plan and other sources of water are available if an increase in PFOS is detected. PFOS is known to cause liver damage and birth defects in lab animals. Research on its effects on humans is still evolving. “Nothing is wrong with the water,” emphasized Jonas. “It continues to be of high quality.”

The agencies are asking voters to combine into one fire authority on the November General
Preston, and the City of Carnation. Fire District 38 covers the unincorporated areas around North Bend and Snoqualmie. The fire districts are losing property and tax revenue to neighboring cities due to annexations. The fire agencies contend that working together will reduce costs, maintain emergency service levels and improve efficiencies for taxpayers long-term.

Challenge Races provide moments of pure joy BY ZACHARY HOCHMAN
I
’m writing to inform you about an amazing community event. It’s called the Life Enrichment Options Foundation Challenge Races. It’s an annual event that takes place locally in Sammamish, Issaquah and Snoqualmie Ridge. I want you to know how it has changed my life. The Challenge Races allow young people with mental and physical disabilities to get in a “soap-box derby” car and “drive” down a hill. Each car has a driver and co-driver. The special-needs person is a “co-driver” and a typically developing kid is the “driver” who steers and brakes the car. The event is better described at lifeenrichmentoptions.org/ events. I got involved as a Cub Scout for the first time around five years ago. Since then, I’ve driven in as many races as possible each year. There’s something unique about seeing the smile on a co-driver’s face as we speed down the hill together in a gravity car. It’s hard to explain. It’s like I get a front-row view at experiencing their freedom. For a short time, it’s as if they are free from their disabilities and, for those who have them, free from their SEE RACES, PAGE 5
OPINION
SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Letters to the editor Do the right thing at Providence Heights An open letter to the Issaquah School Board: Here is what I hope is not the board’s mindset regarding the Providence Heights property. Yeah. We got a sweet deal on that one. Eminent domain. What a great deal-making tool. We got this tear-down for a song. Losers didn’t take our first offer. And hey, it’s not even our money, but the taxpayers’. Those losers vote for us every time no matter what. Am I right? Getting this thing done will be a breeze. Permits? Ha. Losers on the City Council wouldn’t dare block something like this. And those historical folks? Preserve what? Art folks? Forget about it. It will be a pile of glass. They can pave with it for all I care. Hey, maybe we can sell the pieces off to that eye-patched glass guy. What is art anyway? Something you hold onto and then sell for a profit. There’s no money in that here. Besides, if anyone objects, we can claim that the religious scenes have no place in the public school. Like their kids would be converted by it and would need vaccinations or something. Nope, this is a done deal. Call the bulldozers. Those little nuns left long ago and all that art hasn’t got a prayer. Here is what I would dearly hope is the school board’s actual conversation. Pardon the pun, but Providence has blessed us with a great opportunity here. This campus could be a shining example of repurposing a historic structure of world-class artistic significance into a new life, continuing as an institute of learning. What an opportunity for a campus devoted to arts and the humanities! Sure, the location of the chapel with surrounding classrooms might not fit our usual Microsoft style configuration, but isn’t that its charm? I mean Cambridge

End the interlocal pact killing Canada geese
Under an interlocal agreement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program killed 578 geese in King County and 287 on Lake Washington in 2015. Shooting has become their preferred method of killing, but they also conducted two roundups on Lake Washington where they gassed to death geese and their goslings. The numbers for 2016 are not yet available. Prior to becoming a member of the interlocal agreement, Washington State Parks hired Wildlife Services to kill geese at Lake Sammamish State Park on at least two occasions. In a decreasing trend, egg addling dropped to just 292 eggs. Clearly, this is not a prior-
ity. It is apparently much easier to shoot geese or gas them instead of addling eggs to prevent their development. Humane solutions to mitigate conflicts with geese exist. In addition to addling, the following are effective: landscape modifications, goose deterrent products and control techniques, automated devices to clean up goose droppings, and education and public outreach on the need to stop feeding waterfowl. The report also stated, “2015 represented the 29th year of Urban Waterfowl Management efforts in the greater Seattle area.” In a vicious cycle of killing, year after year, geese continue to be killed in our parks. Moreover, few if any members of the interlocal agreement will take any responsibility for the killing. They seem to think that they are not responsible for the killing even though they have all collectively paid for it under the agreement. Members of the 2015 agreement included: Washington State Parks, Seattle, Bellevue, Kent, Kirkland, Mountlake Terrace, Renton, SeaTac, Woodinville, Port of Seattle — Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Tacoma MetroParks, Tukwila and the University of Washington. Data released by the Department of Agriculture shows that Wildlife Services destroyed over 3.2 million animals in 2015. It is time to stop the war on wildlife! Diane Weinstein Sammamish

YMCA. I am so delighted you stopped by the Sammamish YMCA! What a beautiful facility for our community to take pride in. My husband and I, like you, have been Sammamish residents for 44 years and awaited the opening with anticipation. Our old facility on the Providence Heights campus (formerly LBI campus), while staffed with incredible trainers, lacked in many accommodations that the current facility excels. I’m sorry you didn’t feel the need to see the rest of the building, as I’m sure you would have encountered other seniors like yourselves. My husband and I participate 4-5 times a week in a variety of programs designed for seniors, plus we participate in off-facility walks/hikes and excursions, YMCA book club, potlucks and count many of the members as our friends. Did you know that as a member you can go to any Y in the country? I agree that living on a fixed income has its challenges, not the least being a feeling of community in our fastgrowing town and being with others who seek out healthy options. We have found the Y to be both equitable and affordable to all who seek membership. It is part of their outreach and supported by their mission statement to be available to all. It is my understanding,no one will be turned away and I’m sure the Y would be happy to work with you to make the Y a part of your future. I invite you to be our guests at a time of your choosing. We’d love to share with you our enthusiasm. Alan and Sue Honda Sammamish

Unfinished business fuels Skyline’s title push BY NEIL PIERSON
SKYLINE SPARTANS
npierson@ sammamishreview.com
Bradley Kim said the Skyline Spartans pride themselves on “being the best and toughest defense in the state,” a reason why last year’s Class 4A title-game result was so difficult to swallow. Gonzaga Prep, aided by five Skyline turnovers, racked up 521 rushing yards and won the championship, 34-16. The Spartans reached the final for the sixth time in eight years under coach Mat Taylor, but several outstanding seniors left the field for the final time without winning the program’s eighth overall title. Kim doesn’t want Skyline’s Class of 2017 to experience the same heartache. “Obviously, if we could

have anything back it would be the state championship from last year,” said Kim, a wide receiver
and safety who recently gave an oral commitment to Air Force, declining offers from the other
service academies, Army and Navy. “That’s kind of the biggest thing that’s on our
mind right now. We’re taking it one game at a time like were last year and hope for the best.” Junior lineman Matthew Cindric, who has received a scholarship offer from Washington State, had 48 tackles and a teamhigh nine sacks in 2015. He said the Spartans can get back to the Tacoma Dome and win the title, but it’ll take as much dedication as last year’s group gave. “Just coming together and having fun with it – I think that’s what
we did last year,” Cindric said. “That was the most important thing, just having fun, being with our brothers and making the most of it.” Skyline lost three of its most productive offensive players from 2015 as quarterback Blake Gregory, tailback Rashaad Boddie and wide receiver Danny Sinatro have moved on.

Eastlake’s band of brothers look to return to 4A playoffs BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com
Daniel Bradley has been playing with some of his Eastlake High School teammates for nine years, so it’s easy to see why the 2016 football season, their last together, is so important. Eastlake played well for much of Bradley’s junior season as he finished second in the Class 4A KingCo Conference with 902 rushing yards. But critical losses to Mount Si, Woodinville and Skyline left the Wolves on the outside of the playoff picture. Eastlake will be looking to rectify that situation this fall and qualify for the

state playoffs for the third time in head coach Don Bartel’s four-year tenure. And Bradley, an old-fashioned runner who rarely goes down on first contact, is relishing his final moment in the spotlight. “All throughout youth you look forward to being the guys,” Bradley said. “We’re grateful for the opportunity last year to have a bunch of juniors and sophomores
starting on the offense and defense. “…These guys are my brothers and I’m just really excited to see what our offense can do. We’re a confident team. We know what we can do.” Bradley may shoulder a lot of the burden for an offense that likes to go no-huddle and push the pace. The Wolves’ SEE WOLVES, PAGE, 12

DWith a record-breaking quarterback having moved on to a college career, some high-school football teams might wonder if their offense will evaporate the following season. Not so for the Eastside Catholic Crusaders, who believe they’re well positioned to win a third straight Class 3A championship in December. Harley Kirsch, now at Cornell University, threw for 6,700 yards and 75 touchdowns as Eastside Catholic won the 2014 and ’15 titles over Bellevue. His replacement, Zach Lewis, has been waiting two years for an opportunity and the Crusaders have full faith in his abilities. “We really, to be frank, haven’t skipped a beat,” said Jeremy Thielbahr, who will be gunning for his fifth title-game appearance in six seasons as EC’s head coach. “I’m very impressed with his ability to understand football and understand our concepts. I feel like it’s going to be a flawless transition to him.” Lauded for his arm strength and overall athleticism, which will allow the Crusaders to

other weapons are largely unknowns – Ben Howard replaces the dynamic Mark Whitley at quarterback and players like junior Hank Pladson will have to step up to bolster the receiving corps alongside standout Parker Lester (29 catches, 356 yards, four TDs in 2015). Howard might not be the spectacular playmaker that Whitley was, but he’s a cerebral player who’s likely to avoid making game-changing mistakes. “He’s a smart quarterback and he knows exactly what you’re going to do before you do it,” Bradley said. In past seasons, the Wolves have been able to control the ball and the clock despite having undersized linemen. That likely won’t change this fall as players like Eric Plummer, Noah Morse and Cameron Lynch figure to be leaders up front. With the exception of a lopsided nonleague loss to Gig Harbor, Eastlake’s defense made more than
enough plays last year to keep the team in games. Bartel, who also serves as defensive coordinator, likes to use a lot of bodies and keep fresh legs on the field. At free safety, Pladson provides a good combination of size and speed to limit big plays downfield. The Wolves will look to swarm ball carriers, something they worked on during their first fall practice on Aug. 17, a little more than two weeks from their opener at 3A powerhouse Lakes. “We haven’t really looked at Lakes yet,” Pladson said. “We’re just getting back into things right now, but we’ll starting getting into that in the coming week. “They’ve got a good running back, but we should be pretty solid. We’ve got a good ‘D’ front and some good linebackers.” Motivation shouldn’t be in short supply for the Wolves. “Knowing this is, for a lot of guys, the final time, the final go, we’ve just got to do everything that we can do,” Bradley said. “We know we’re setting our goals really, really high for ourselves.”

sophomore Joe Green and senior Drew Kistner under consideration. The Spartans relied on Boddie the past two years for a punishing running game and they seem to have potential there in two newcomers, Isaiah Shim and Prescott Wong. Kim will start both ways and adds a veteran presence to the wide receiver group, which also includes Alex Taylor and Luke Stiles. Skyline should have time and space for their skill players to operate because of its offensive line, led by 6-foot-6, 290pound senior Henry Bainivalu. Cindric and senior Matt Oss can play multiple positions if called upon. “We’re a smart group of guys, so we’re not

use him frequently on running plays, Lewis appears calm and composed ahead of a stern first test – defending 4A champion Gonzaga Prep – in the Sept. 2 season opener. “They remind me a little bit of Bellevue,” Lewis said of G-Prep. “They do a lot of different things. They’re not going to keep it the same. They’re going to switch it up and try to play with my mind, but I’m prepared.” Lewis won’t be tasked with making every play. EC has several talented skill-position players, despite losing running back Brandon Wellington (Washington) and wide receiver Matt Laris (California) to graduation. Senior Hunter Bryant, a 6-foot-3, 235-pounder, should be Lewis’ main target. He received multiple Division I offers before giving an oral commitment to Washington this year. Senior Tyler Folkes will take over the starting tailback role and senior Chris Lefau will move to receiver, where he’ll join speedy David Pritchard
deterred by whatever the defense does,” Cindric said of the “O” line. “I think we know our roles and we just execute.” As heavily as they’ll rely upon Cindric’s footwork to protect the passer, the Spartans might need his pass-rushing abilities on defense even more. And Cindric models himself after one of the game’s best – JJ Watt of the Houston Texans. “I’m just trying to get after it and just use my moves to the best of my ability,” he said. A ball-hawking defense with the likes of Kim at safety, Caleb Johnston at middle linebacker and Alex Diegel at outside linebacker will once again look to lead the state in takeaways. “That’s something that our (defensive coordinator), coach (Ryan) Thorsen, really preaches to us,” Kim said. “We really emphasize turnovers.” in the hopes of stretching opposing defenses. Lefau, who will also start at defensive end – a position he played as a sophomore – said he’s confident in making a successful shift to receiver because of Bryant’s presence. “When I don’t know anything, I just go to him,” Lefau said. EC’s offensive and defensive lines are younger than past years but they’ll outweigh most teams. Brody McKnight, a 310-pound left tackle, will anchor a group that includes Koa Roberts, Jason Medeiros, Ethan England and Jackson Reed, who all top 250. Linebacker Ryan Taylor and defensive backs Malik Putney, Jonathan Kvech and JJ Luger could also be defensive standouts. The Crusaders have 16 new starters but Thielbahr hopes “tradition never graduates” and they can once again call themselves one of the nation’s best teams. “I hope we’re down (against Gonzaga Prep) and see what our kids are made of,” the coach said. “We’re excited but we’ve just got to be us. We’ve got to not over-think it.”
