Trail construction causes frustration for residents By Peter Clark pclark@isspress.com
The Sammamish City Council received an update, and more concerns, regarding King County’s construction on the East Lake Sammamish Trail. The 18-foot-wide trail, under construction in the north of the city, has caused quite a stir from homeowners. Director of Public Works Laura Philpot updated the council during its Sept. 16 meeting regarding the most recent county developments. “It is on schedule, and it is anticipated to open in the spring of 2015,” she said. The trail’s plan calls for a 12-foot-wide paved trail with 2-foot shoulders and another foot of cleared land on each side. When complete, it will form part of a regional trail network
that stretches from Ballard to Preston. King County Parks expects that 2.6-mile stretch to cost $6.1 million and be finished next year. Residents brought the issue to the forefront at a June 17 meeting; numerous people spoke about their issues with the trail, citing privacy concerns and frustration at feeling powerless when dealing with the county. At the Sept. 16 meeting, homeowner George Tosky said construction of the trail cut a private drive, which led up to his and neighboring homes, in half and blocked the passage for larger vehicles. He said fire, UPS and FedEx trucks cannot enter the drive due to its width. “With respect to the trail, the county has a history of being less than truthful,” Tosky said. “What is maddening are the
statements from the county that something will be done with absolutely no follow up. I continue to hope that the city will resolve the issue.” He said he had proposed solutions to the county and had not received an answer. “Here we are, almost a month later, with no further response from the county,” Tosky said. “Frankly, I don’t know where else to go. It is not fair that an expanded trail puts myself, my wife and my neighbors in jeopardy in the case of a medical and fire emergency.” Philpot said she didn’t know where the county stood with regards to Tosky’s complaints, but added city staff is working with the county to find solutions. She offered the county’s public outreach hotline as an See TRAIL, Page 2
The Issaquah School Board approved several gifts and donations at its Sept. 24 meeting that will fund various educational materials and programs at four elementary schools. The Creekside Elementary School PTSA donated $15,000 to provide additional support for its Learning Assistance Program. Endeavour Elementary School’s PTSA gave a total of $29,125 — $12,000 of it for the salary of an additional educational assistant to support its Learning Assistance Program, and the rest to purchase 24 laptops and a technology cart for its computer lab. Educational assistant salaries were the targets of PTSA donations at Sunny Hills and Sunset elementary schools. Sunny Hills raised $12,000 and Sunset took in $16,000. Board policy dictates the board must vote to accept any gift of $5,000 or more in value.

“I’m not sure if we’ve ever done a project that makes everyone happy.”
From Page 1 example. “Due to some of our conversations with them, we’ve encouraged them to staff that with a live person,” Philpot said. “Any time during business hours, they will receive a live person, and we believe that’s a big improvement.” She listed what the county saw as some success stories of the construction, including protecting some residents’ interests, including landscaping and trees. “I’m not sure if we’ve ever done a project that makes everyone happy,”

And that is happening on the north end as well.” In the planning process, the county held five informational meetings to hear residents, and she said city staff has remained engaged in the process. “We’re really concerned about making some adjustments to the process to make sure people are more involved up front to make

people feel more heard,” Philpot said. “I’d like to see the city be more proactive as we go forward,” Councilman Ramiro Valderrama said after the update. “I think it’s great that the county is reaching out to smaller groups. I think we should be getting these updates more regularly than the community center, because this is more sensitive to our residents.” Three more construction phases are expected to finish the trail over the next few years. “We’re taking this really seriously,” Philpot said. “And we’re trying to assist the county in anyway we can to come up with solutions for both the residents and the trail.”

OPINION
Editorial Officials need to listen to concerns
Letters to the Editor
Residents in this city are talking about the fact that government officials aren’t listening to them. They say officials are not listening to them at the city level nor at the county level. A recent letter to the editor said, in part, “…it doesn’t take long to realize residents are not listened to and most concerns fall on deaf ears. The council’s mind is made up long before we as residents can speak our mind.” Others say they don’t have nearly as much time to speak against an issue as those who speak for an issue. Officials, you need to listen up. You work for your citizens. You’re there to serve them. You need to hear them and respond. Even if the only thing you can do is listen, even if their opinion doesn’t change things, you need to listen in a way that people know they have been heard. If you think you’re listening, but they still don’t think they’re being heard, that is on you, not them. Yes, we know some officials are great in their elected positions and that they have the interests of their constituents at heart. But we also know there are officials all across the country who are just in office to get what they want, not what the voters want. Sammamish officials are doing some things right. We applaud the newsletter that is sent out to try to inform residents about various topics. And we do commend Sammamish city officials for the open houses it has been holding to give residents information about the potential Klahanie-area annexation. (The next one is from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Oct. 15 at Sammamish City Hall, 801 228th Ave. S.E.) People are also saying they are not being heard regarding the East Lake Sammamish Trail project. The King County page for the project is filled with documents, and it seems residents could learn enough there to be as well-informed as the people building and overseeing the project. That is all well and good. So were the five informational public meetings that were held to get public opinion. And the fact that people can sign up for alerts regarding the project is a definite plus. Neither the oath of office nor state law specify that officials need to listen to their constituents, but we feel it’s past time for officials to listen and respond to residents’ complaints about not being heard.
Like many of us in this community, I’ve had kids in the public school system and really value having high-quality schools for my children. In following state politics for the past several years, I’m very impressed with the work that Andy Hill is doing in Olympia. Education hasn’t been funded properly for some time, but for years no one actually offered solutions or did the work to prioritize the education budget. Andy Hill was appointed budget chairman in 2013 and that same year, he wrote and passed a budget that increased the education budget by $1 billion and actually reversed a decadeslong trend of non-education outpacing education by 2-to-1. What’s more, it passed with almost 90 percent support of the Legislature. And no new taxes!
Poll of the week What kind of business should Sammamish add that it doesn’t already have? A) Bowling alley — teens and families need more to do B) Fine dining — fast food options just don’t cut it C) Home decor — Bed, Bath & Beyond would be nice D) Pot shop — the drug is legal and should be available Vote at www.sammamishreview.com.
Andy Hill puts kids first with solid education policies
We have some great schools in our community because we have worked hard to provide that for our kids. It seems to me like Andy Hill is one of the few in Olympia who really understands what it takes to put our kids first like we do. That’s why I think we need him back to work for us.

The public needs to be respected at public meetings A lot has been written about a recent Sammamish City Council meeting, the mayor’s remarks to the audience in attendance and his rather lengthy defense of those remarks in a couple of local publications. I was an active participant at that meeting, and here is my take on it. The agenda that evening mainly centered on the East Lake Sammamish
SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Trail paving project and included a presentation before the council by a representative of King County and the public comment period that followed. The county was given ample opportunity to explain its objectives, its progress to date and its plans for the future. The council asked questions, and sometimes long, detailed answers followed. One could see and feel the audience growing more restless and impatient as time flew by. These people had come determined, impassioned and fully prepared to make their views be known. There was no orchestrated plan; there were no rallies ahead of time. These were just Sammamish citizens anxious to speak, and they had just three minutes each to do so. There were some cheers and a lot of clapping following some of the first comments — an emotional reaction to an emotional issue affecting
most of them. I likened it then to that which follows a good film, a good solo or sermon in church — unexpected and possibly out of place. But the mayor saw it much differently. Although he had perfect right and good reason to keep the meeting orderly, Mayor Tom Vance came across as both arrogant and autocratic in addressing his own neighbors, his own community. His manner and tone was unwarranted and unwelcoming … and it made me and others angry. Over the past decade, I was always impressed by former Councilman Jack Barry and current Councilman Don Gerend. During meeting breaks, they always walked into the audience to shake hands, greet those attending warmly, and — whether they agreed with them or not — thank them for participating in the democratic process. Mayor Vance could learn from them. Jim Creevey Sammamish

Skyline tennis team sweeps aside Mount Si By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com
When you’re clearly more talented than your opponent, it’s often difficult for a tennis player to stay mentally sharp. It’s a phenomenon Skyline High School junior Nikita Moroz experienced in his match with Mount Si’s Matthew Griffin. Moroz was belting serves and cross-court forehands, and his opponent was struggling to get the ball back over the net. Moroz didn’t get complacent, and he finished off a 6-0, 6-0 triumph in the No. 1 singles slot to lead Skyline past visiting Mount Si, 7-0, in a Class 4A KingCo Conference boys tennis match Oct. 1. “Sometimes you sort of drift off, and you don’t really feel like you’re in the match,” Moroz said of winning easily. “You feel like, ‘Oh, I already got this,’ and you start to slip away, and then you get nervous, and it gets even worse,” he said. “But I think I did a good job of keeping up the pressure.” Moroz has been playing the sport competitively for about six years, and takes lessons at the Bellevue Tennis Academy that have him aiming high in the 201415 high-school season. He advanced to the KingCo
By Neil Pierson
Skyline High School’s Nikita Moroz had little trouble taking care of Mount Si’s Matthew Griffin in an Oct. 1 tennis match, winning 6-0, 6-0 as the Spartans went on to a 7-0 team victory. tournament as a sophomore, but wants to go beyond that and qualify for next May’s state championships. “Our league seems a little bit weaker this year, so I feel like I’ve got a good shot of making it to state,” Moroz said. Skyline coach Bettina Gehle said
she was impressed with Moroz’s ability to stay focused even though he largely overwhelmed his Mount Si foe. “Maybe last year it would have looked a little bit different, that he would’ve given more points up, or more games,” Gehle said. “But he is now a solid player and has lots of
experience, which is fun to see.” Skyline is looking to compete for the conference’s regular-season and tournament titles, and Moroz thinks the Spartans have enough talent to do it. “I really like this team this year,” he said. “We seem to be a lot more even.” “That is true, absolutely,” Gehle added. “We have more depth. That is what makes us a little bit stronger than last year or the years before.” Against Mount Si, the Spartans’ singles players were barely challenged in reeling off four victories. No. 2 player Ishaan Bhimani was a 6-0, 6-1 winner over John Day. No. 3 player Ankit Madhira defeated Ryan Cantalini (6-2, 6-2), and No. 4 player Geoffrey Yang easily dispatched Jacob Holmes (6-0, 6-0). The three doubles matches were nearly as lopsided. Skyline’s top pairing, Justin Zhang and Parker Matias, handed a 6-0, 6-0 defeat to Mount Si’s George Corriveau and Jonah Kingery. Zhang and Matias are just getting started together, and while they’re talented individuals, Gehle said, their success this season hinges upon developing chemistry. She’s trying to soften expectations because of that. “Justin came in as senior, first time trying out,” she said. “He was
always a good tennis player, but he tried out for golf, and he decided this year to try out for tennis. “Parker is a very solid player — usually a singles player — but we mixed it up and because he’s a lefty, it’s actually an interesting double,” she added. “We know that we will face really, really strong opponents against Newport in doubles. That will be interesting, how they play together, because they haven’t played.” At No. 2 doubles, Skyline’s Mitchell Hansen and Alex Lok were 6-2, 6-2 winners against Sherwin Nelson and Royce Schwartzenberger. Freshmen Shawn Stanley and David Liew paired up for the No. 3 doubles match, and they earned a 6-3, 6-3 decision over Vince DiDomenico and Dan Tomson. The top-two singles and top-two doubles teams from the KingCo tournament advance to state, and Skyline is hoping to qualify multiple players. The early-season results are encouraging for Gehle, although upcoming matches against Newport and Woodinville will be more telling. Skyline notched a 5-2 win against rival Eastlake on Sept. 22. “That was a big win,” Gehle said. “We had all three-setters that we won against them, so it was actually closer than the results were.”
Eastlake volleyball rally falls short By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com
After the first two sets, Janna Tonahill gathered her players together and delivered a succinct message that seemed to resonate. “We need to play our game,” Tonahill said. “This isn’t the Eastlake volleyball team that’s been showing up every day. “Let’s show ourselves we can do this. Let’s show Bellevue who Eastlake really is.” Trailing 2-0, the Wolves took their coach’s words to heart and nearly carved out a comeback of epic proportions. But after sending the match to a fifth set, they fell short against Bellevue in a nonconference battle of undefeated teams Sept. 30 at Eastlake High School. For the first two sets, the visiting Wolverines
dominated, winning 25-22, 25-21 thanks to tenacious defense and a flurry of Eastlake errors. For the next two sets, though, the Wolves were the aggressors. The whole team — led by outside hitter Jordan Dahl and blocker Ellie Woerner — executed their roles precisely, and Eastlake tied the match with victories of 25-16 and 25-21. That set up a winnertake-all fifth set, and Eastlake appeared to have momentum after Woerner blocked a shot for a 9-5 lead. But Bellevue came roaring back and took a 14-13 lead on an ace from freshman Alexis Khuu. A long rally ensued on match point, and the Wolverines finished it with Katie Griffin’s emphatic kill. While Bellevue stayed unbeaten at 7-0, and Eastlake dropped to 5-1, the Wolves felt a lot more
upbeat because of their refuse-to-lose mentality. After falling behind 2-0, the players developed a determined attitude, said Lindsey Urh, a junior middle hitter who finished with seven kills. “I think we all just wanted to bring more of the energy out there, get louder and more excited, and just more into the game,” Urh said. In the third set, Eastlake started imposing its will at the net. The Wolves have five players who are 6 feet tall, and they were able to disrupt Bellevue’s attack. Many of the Wolverines’ shots sailed long or wide. Others were blocked back in their faces. Woerner had a matchhigh six blocks, and players like Urh, Brooke Randall and Hannah Pickerill also influenced play. “We’ve worked hard at improving our blocking and our net play and our
transitions,” Tonahill said. Eastlake started quickly in the fourth set, taking a 12-5 lead on one of Jordan Dahl’s 19 kills. Bellevue chipped away, but Eastlake rebuilt the seven-point lead as Caroline DeStefano served an ace for a 22-15 advantage. Freshman Hayley Barney’s kill and a Bellevue serving error closed out the fourth-set win for the Wolves. Urh had two kills and a block in the fifth set, but Eastlake couldn’t complete the comeback. Woerner added 11 kills to her six blocks. DeStefano and Sarah Burrington, the Wolves’ setters, combined for 34 assists and 27 digs. Jordan Dahl had 22 digs, and MaKenna Dahl had seven kills and seven digs. After cruising to straightset wins in their first five matches, the Wolves were

Bellevue went on to win the match in five sets. physically tested with a longer match that featured several lengthy points. “I think we’re pretty wellconditioned, but those were
definitely the longest rallies, and that’s our first five-game match,” Tonahill said. “It shows that we just haven’t experienced that yet.”
