Traffic low, slow after barricade removed
Yarn explodes at art fair
By Warren Kagarise
By Caleb Heeringa
Initial traffic counts from Southeast 32nd Street near where the controversial barricade once stood show that the road has much less traffic than was expected at lower-than-average speeds. But Public Works Director Laura Philpot suggested the City Council wait for traffic patterns to reach equilibrium before looking at additional road improvements or moving onto the next barricade in question – on Northeast 42nd Street between the Hidden Ridge and Timberline neighborhoods. She also cautioned that the current traffic counts are unofficial, having been taken from a “speed trailer” that reads and displays a vehicle’s speed, flashing if they are going over the speed limit. The city is planning more official traffic counts on streets all around the neighborhood in the coming weeks that will be more useful in determining whether the area needs more in the way of sidewalks and traffic calming measures. But Philpot said the data, though preliminary, indicates the $350,000 worth of sidewalks, traffic circles, curb extensions and chicanes the council approved on the road have succeeded in preventing drivers from using the road as a major thoroughfare. “We’ll continue to monitor speeds and volumes in the area … but I don’t think it’s a good bypass route, especially since we See BARRICADE, Page 3

Candidates for local and regional offices offered prescriptions for counteracting the ailing economy and educating a 21stcentury workforce at a forum Thursday. Organized by The Issaquah Press, sister publication to the Sammamish Review, and moderated by Publisher Debbie Berto, the forum attracted candidates for the Issaquah School Board and Port of Seattle Commission. The candidates, gathered at the King County Library System headquarters in Issaquah, answered questions in 40-minute sections organized by race. The forum occurred days before King County Elections
mails ballots, and as many voters start to pay attention to the offyear election. Election Day is Nov. 8. In the school board election, incumbents Brian Deagle and Suzanne Weaver face challengers in the nonpartisan races. Deagle, a Sammamish resident, faces challenger Patrick Sansing, a Sammamish resident, for the Director District No. 3 seat. Weaver, a Sammamish resident, faces Issaquah resident Brian Neville to retain the Director District No. 5 seat. Bellevue resident Anne Moore is running unopposed for outgoing board member Jan Colbrese’s post. See DEBATE, Page 6
Freed House’s home may be at Pigott park By Caleb Heeringa
The Reard/Freed House may finally find a home in what could be some sort of heritagethemed park in the heart of Sammamish. At the Oct. 11 City Council study session, Parks Director Jessi Richardson presented the council with some rough sketches of how a parcel of the Pigott property, slated to be gifted to the city for use as a park in the next five or so years, could look with the Freed/Reard House placed on the grounds.

The second would be between the city and Mary Pigott for the land, which would allow the home to be placed on the property before the land is officially deeded to the city.

out over several years. One portion of her property will likely open to the public this fall, but that is not the area envisioned for the house. Complicating the issue further, getting the home moved has taken on a sense of urgency. The private developer who owns the land on which the house currently sits wants to move forward with development plans and has given the city until next spring to have the home moved, Richardson said. Though there were calls for more details, many on the council gave cautious support for the idea. Councilman John James noted that he was a skeptic of the
project when he first got on the council, but said he was impressed with the heritage society’s fundraising efforts and the heritage park plan. “This was a house looking for a home,” he said. “Commons was not the right spot for it, but with the generous gift of Mary Pigott, it looks like it’s found a home … This is a place that people could go and see the history of what the area used to be like.” But the idea of city money going towards the moving or remodeling of the home continued to be a sticking point for some. The council earmarked $70,000 in the 2011-2012 budget for the home. At the time, several

Sammamish Forum
Our recommendations for City Council
Support for Richardson
Sammamish is blessed with a number of active citizens who want to be a part of the city. All three City Council races this year are contested, not something every city on the Eastside can say. All the candidates are to be commended for spending their time and energy attempting to win the ultimate volunteer job. When deciding which candidates to endorse, the Review considers a number of factors. We like to see candidates who’ve put in time in the community, who have a strong grasp of all of the issues facing the City Council, and who have real, sensible but creative solutions. Position 2 — Nancy Whitten. Incumbent Whitten is always willing to ask questions. Yes, sometimes those questions make meetings drag on, but her job is to think about issues and make sure the city is heading in the right direction, not sit quietly when she doesn’t agree. She raises issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. We’re impressed by challenger Kathy Richardson, who is smart and has spent time as a Planning Commissioner learning how the city operates, but she has not demonstrated a grasp of issues outside land use strongly enough to justify replacing Whitten. Position 4 — Ramiro Valderrama. We haven’t always agreed with Valderrama, but his passion for Sammamish is undeniable. He is one of the driving forces behind a group of citizen activists, has studied all of the major issues facing the city, and has been involved on the sidelines for years. Challenger Jim Wasnick could become a good council member, and has certainly started becoming active in civic life around Sammamish, but Valderrama has the edge on experience. After a bit more time learning the ins and outs of city government, Wasnick could become a more desirable candidate. Position 6 — Tom Vance. Vance served as chairman of the Planning Commission before running for the council two years ago. He has thoughtful, specific answers to questions about nearly everything the City Council is likely to face in the next few years. Opponent Jesse Bornfreund has come out of nowhere and has not demonstrated a command of the issues.
Poll of the week What do you think of our endorsements? A) The Review got them all right. B) The Review got them all wrong. C) I agree with some, not others. D) I don’t pay attention to endorsements. To vote, visit www.SammamishReview.com.
When Councilwoman Michele Petitti decided not to run for re-election for City Council Position 2, Kathy Richardson stepped up and answered the call to run. Around that same time, multiple candidates had filed for a different City Council seat, Position 4, to specifically challenge Councilwoman Nancy Whitten. Instead of taking on the challengers Whitten is abandoning her seat, running away from her political opposition, fleeing over to Position 2 to oppose Kathy Richardson, the only other woman running for City Council. I don’t think Petitti had Whitten in mind when she announced she was stepping aside to let someone else take the reins. What compelled Whitten, a sitting council member, to quit her position and run for another? Was Whitten afraid of the candidates running against her? Does Whitten hate Richardson so much that she was just compelled to run against Richardson? Does Whitten have an alpha female complex? This is just strange behavior on Whitten’s part, a candidate claiming to be an incumbent up for re-election, but who has deserted her position 4 seat. Then again, in the past, Whitten has proudly touted her maverick-like style to the newspapers when she goes rogue on the council. I don’t think Sammamish voters expect their elected officials to abandon the seats they are elected into. I don’t think this is a time for mavericks, or rogues, or individuals who may have complexes or display odd behavior. Rather, it is a time for a change on the City Council! Richardson is the right woman for City Council Position 2. Richardson is intelligent, energetic, thoughtful, considerate, pleasant, engaging, inclusive, level-headed, and warmhearted. Richardson is an effective leader who sets priorities and makes decisions based on facts. She helps build consensus rather than creating divisiveness. The city of Sammamish is fortunate to have Richardson on the current Planning Commission and now we desperately need her on the City Council!

Support for Valderrama I am writing to express my support for Ramiro Valderrama as a candidate running for Sammamish City Council. He has been active in the city for many years. As a member of Citizens for Sammamish, I have personally seen him successfully mobilize this group of Sammamish professionals who donate their time and expertise to work effectively with the city in developing solutions for a broad array of issues related to: finance, environment, connectivity, transportation, community services, accountability and process. His main issues for this election are: Fiscal Responsibility: ◆ Prioritizing spending and ensuring our tax dollars are used wisely, sparingly, and effectively and ensuring that the city is more productive and responsive in servicing our citizens with fewer resources. Manage Smart Growth: ◆ Encouraging growth that preserves the character of Sammamish through low impact development. Enhanced Citizen Participation: ◆ Emphasizing thoughtful and viable city development through increased dialogue and collaboration with citizens of all ages and business groups in such areas as connectivity, critical area ordinances, community services, finance, and transportation. Ramiro is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and received his master’s in engineering administration from the George Washington University. He has 25 years of executive experience gained in 70 countries with leading companies such as KPMG, Oracle, SAP and Microsoft, and has led U.S. government initiatives supporting the development of local and national governments

Keep facts in the mix In response to the recent “Basketfull of Endorsements” letter, I have to say I am tired of letters that substitute forcefully voiced opinions and personal attacks for fact-based information. The foundation of the writer’s opinions seems to be that “old guard” and “establishment” are four letter words, and that only new candidates can be open-minded, practical, visionary or interested in and capable of moving the city forward. As proof, he then goes on to misinterpret what few facts he points to. (For instance, did Tom Vance lose to John Curley in the last election because voters wanted a change? Isn’t it more probably because Mr. Curley, as a TV personally, was a See FORUM, Page 5

much more recognizable name to the majority of voters who don’t follow local political contributors?) The city of Sammamish has come a long way in the 22 years I have lived here. A lot of that is because the “old guard” listened to the people of our city, developed workable plans, and implemented them. That gives them something those new candidates lack: experience in building and running a fairly successful new city. Of course they formed opinions and took positions. That’s what we elected them to do! And contrary to the letter, given the many changes in this city obviously they have been pragmatic and taken decisive action. Do I agree with all the changes? Usually, but not always. Is there more to be done? Of course. But in what city can residents say otherwise? While some of the new candidates may indeed have good things to contribute, I am not willing to vote for them merely because they are new and have their own vision. A vision without action is merely a dream. The incumbents have shown they can turn visions to reality, and have an informed basis to continue to do so. Lobbying to sweep them out simply because they are incumbents assumes we have an uninformed electorate. The letter does nothing to inform us beyond an opinion that change for the sake of change is good. I hope the electorate will look deeper. Tom Johnson Sammamish

of early residents got together to save the lake. In the 1980’s the lake was becoming a swamp in some areas, so some lakeside residents decided to find out the problem. With county help they got the University of Washington lake experts to do a lake study. It was determined that water flowing from the wetlands near the southern part of the lake brought large amounts of damaging phosphorous into the lake. With construction, the flow was diverted to the outlet creek. Without that intervention at that time, Pine Lake could have eventually become what environmentalists often call a dead lake. Dead lakes (like Lake Ballinger in Edmonds) are unfit for swimming and a poor environment for fish. Those of us who love and use Pine Lake owe a debt of gratitude to those early visionaries. To try to reverse the damages of a dead lake are extremely expensive and often not successful. Therefore, it is important to have reasonable preventative measure to keep our lakes healthy and to do so in a cost effective manner. Pine Lake is a relatively small lake (80 acres) and a shallow one (20 feet generally and 39 feet at the deepest part). Because of these factors it is more vulnerable to phosphorous input than larger lakes. One of those early residents who helped prevent Pine Lake from becoming unhealthy was Councilwoman Nancy Whitten. Whitten’s respect for the environment now includes all our lakes, streams and natural beauty. Her voice is needed today as our community faces new challenges from higher density and other issues. She lends a good balance to the City Council in helping to keep the city of Sammamish a community of natural beauty.

Support for Vance While some say out with the old and in with the new, I value Tom Vance’s knowledge and experience. It takes a long time to understand the nuances of the issues that the council will be dealing with in the next four years – balancing growth, the environment and the rights of property owners, providing excellent police and fire services at a reasonable cost, creating options for alternative types of housing such as cottage, mother-in-law apartments and low income while preserving the look and feel of the neighborhoods that we cherish, encouraging more small businesses and creating a broader range of local services without creating more traffic congestion and stretching out public services and creating more community gathering places and recreation opportunities for all ages without breaking the bank. I’m proud to say that our city has won several national awards recognizing how well we have
balanced these issues in the past. Tom has been an integral part of that balancing act. He understands the issues and is ready to work hard to keep those awards coming. Let’s give him the opportunity to continue that service by electing him to the City Council. Kathleen Huckabay The writer is a former member of the City Council

Before appointment and election to the board, Suzanne was an active participant in the PTSA, Volunteers for Issaquah Schools and the Issaquah Schools Foundation. Her education and career in finance give her a special edge during these difficult times. As a board member, Suzanne has demonstrated a strong work ethic and ability to find solutions. Most important, under her leadership the district has continued to meet its academic goals. We already know that the governor is calling a special session for yet another round of state spending cuts. In these perilous times, we can’t afford inexperienced leadership.

Debate
2 arrested in home invasion Two Seattle men have been arrested in connection with an armed home invasion and burglary in the Vintage neighborhood Oct. 10. The men, ages 19 and 21, are suspected of ringing the doorbell of a home on the 700 block of 240th Way Southeast just after 10 p.m., forcing their way into the home and ordering the occupants to the ground, according to a Sammamish Police press release. One of the suspects was armed and reportedly fired a shot into a couch when challenged by the homeowner. No one was injured. The suspects fled before police arrived, but were arrested Oct. 14 at a home in the Rainier Valley area of Seattle. A weapon was recovered and both men were booked into jail. The case remains under investigation, but police believe that it was not a random attack. The suspects and victims knew each other prior to the incident, according to the press release.
City Council forum televised A recent debate between City Council candidates will be aired on Sammamish 21 TV at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. everyday through election season. The debate, which took place at Beaver Lake Middle School Sept. 28, featured audience questions regarding the city budget, the city’s future with Eastside Fire and Rescue and the Town Center project. Five of the six candidates running for three council seats participated. The debate was sponsored by the Sammamish Review, Sammamish Kiwanis and the Sammamish Rotary Club.
Continued from Page 1
In addition to proposals, school board candidates offered a veritable alphabet soup to describe involvement in local education efforts. PTSA and VIS, or Volunteers for Issaquah Schools, factored into candidates’ statements at the forum. The questions during the forum’s school board portion focused on improving school experiences for students and maintaining a high-achieving school district despite near constant cuts from Olympia. The incumbents, Deagle and Weaver, said Issaquah School District officials trimmed unnecessary expenses, or “low-hanging fruit” in Weaver’s description. Future cuts could impact students more acutely in the classroom. “What it comes down to in the short term, it’s staff,” Deagle said. “The largest expense for the district is teachers. In the short term, unfortunately, that’s the only lever we can pull. In the long term, it will be a different approach to serving the kids.” Sansing said district leaders should instead consider trimming administrative costs if state legislators hand down additional cuts in the months ahead. “That’s got to be the place that we continue to look first,” he said. “I don’t want to look first toward the schoolroom.” How to better serve students
inside and outside of the classroom dominated the school board candidates’ discussion. Neville said the district could do a better job to serve students uninterested in a traditional college education after high school. The proposal came in response to a prompt from the moderator: “Complete this sentence: The one area of our schools that should receive more attention is…” “Issaquah School District certainly place a lot of focus on college prep, which is understandable,” he said. “I think most parents, probably, in the Issaquah district probably expect their kids to go to college. However, an area that I feel is somewhat lacking is the vocational side as well as on the arts, potential viable alternatives to the college prep track.” Neville’s opponent, Weaver, said district schools should focus more on “the students who don’t fit the mold in high school.” “I think we have a greater number of kids who, I guess you could say they underachieve,” she said. “They’re not achieving at their potential. They kind of fit in the traditional high school, but they need something more. They need more hands-on opportunities. They need more things that will give them exposure to careers and other types of paths that they might take.” In September, school board members delayed sending a proposed bond — a $219 mil-
lion package to fund construction and upgrades at schools across the district — to the electorate from February to April. Questions arose about using bond dollars to fund improvements to stadiums at Issaquah, Liberty and Skyline high schools. “I would say these are not Cadillac stadiums, but I’d say they’re also not Pintos,” Weaver said. “It’s important to spend a certain amount of money to build things well.” Sansing said the stadiums at the high schools serve a key component in surrounding communities, because the facilities serve more than sports teams. “I think that they are not only a school resource but a community resource,” he said. “There are many groups that use our stadiums, and I think that it’s important for them to be able to do so. I also think that the education that you receive outside of the classroom is just as important as the education you receive inside of the classroom.” Questions for the Port of Seattle Commission candidates closed the forum. In the nonpartisan commissioner race, Democrat Dean Willard, a Sammamish resident and onetime state House of Representatives candidate, faces Republican incumbent Bill Bryant. Richard Pope is challenging incumbent Commissioner Gael Tarleton. (Pope did not attend the forum.)
The discussion focused on the economy and the environment — major issues at the agency responsible for the Port of Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. “At the Port of Seattle, we’re proving that we can rise to what I think is the challenge of time — to generate jobs while protecting the environment,” Bryant said. Despite a recent turnaround for a once scandal-plagued agency, Willard said more progress is needed to create jobs and clean up damage to the environment related to trade. “There are too many people that work at the port that don’t have family-wage jobs,” he said. “Far too frequently, the environmental damage that’s caused by economic activities are borne by those who are least able to bear them.” Tarleton, regarded as the commission’s expert on security, tackled a question about the balance between security and convenience at the airport. “Our job is to make sure that people can move through that airport safely and securely, with minimum hassle,” she said. “Now, we all want to get rid of pat downs. We all want to get rid of the hassle of walking through a security system that feels like you’re a salmon swimming upstream. Then, suddenly you reach that choke point and you’ve got to climb that ladder and you hope you get to the other side. I’m working on that.”
That was then. This is now. A Vision of Sammamish 2.0
The annual Concours d’Elegance…Art Walk Bookfest…Performance, Theater, and Dance…Art Galleries…Apparel and Specialty Shops…Wine Tasting…Nightlife…Artist Studios…Day Spas… This could be Sammamish! All of these kinds of activities and amenities are to be found in abundance in the communities that surround us. In Kirkland, Issaquah, Redmond, Snoqualmie, these things and more are part of the community, part of the identity of those towns, and they are drawing more and more, and younger, people to play, live, and work in those communities. Companies like Google, IBM, and Microsoft, and many smaller high tech startups are located in in these communities, or have offices there. Some have cast the conversation about our future as either the status quo, or a collection of big box retailers, which few in our community want. But between those two extremes lie literally hundreds of possibilities that can grow our identity and attractiveness as a destination where people want to come to live, to play, to work, to pursue interests and passions and recreational activities. To get there, we need to build a vision of Sammamish together, and then execute on that vision! I will bring my strategic, business development, and executive experience to council and I will work for you to: • Keep our city fiscally sound through effective, efficient Council leadership and stewardship of our tax dollars. • Develop parks, the Town Center, an affordable Community Center, the infrastructure and services we need for the future, with Smart Growth, protecting the environment while minimizing the burden on the taxpayers. • Partner with the business community in ways that help minimize our tax exposure and maximize our business and job opportunities. • Provide more opportunities for our city government to listen to our citizens, to understand our needs and concerns.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
More candidate questions and answers are available at www.SammamishReview.com.
Candidate Q&A
Position 6
Age: 55 Occupation: Entrepreneur, former Microsoft executive
Do you believe Sammamish should build a community and aquatic center as envisioned in the feasibility study? If not, what changes would you make before putting a bond on the ballot?
Should the city stay with Eastside Fire & Rescue and why?
Name at least two areas you could support cutting from the city budget, if needed.
We must explore private sector and public/private options to mitigate taxpayer costs, operating losses, and potentially enhance city revenues, along with a smaller facility size.
Ideally, if it makes good economic and service sense for Sammamish yes, but we should evaluate all of our options before making that decision.
Cuts should be evaluated against a long term direction and plan, working with city management to ensure we have the right priorities, benefits and values.
No. The Feasibility Study is a proposal. In the Town Center or not, we should be working with the YMCA. I would avoid a bond/levy.
We should continue working with EFR, if it makes practical and financial sense. Either way, we will work with our firefighters to ensure excellent service.
The current concept is a beautiful design. There is clear demand (need) for many of the included amenities, but the projected costs are too high.
Shoreline Master Program 2009-265. It is important to balance property rights without being adversarial with homeowners. Amending this program was an expensive rewrite.
Consultants and City projects: need to plan better to maximize value, minimize costs, and get better outcomes. Cases in point: Community Center consultants and barricades.
Let’s find out if we can build our new recreational amenities, possibly a community center, without increasing taxes or burdening our annual operating budget.
The community center Feasibility Study was called a “master plan” by City Staff. It is a proposal. Should have had a concurrent discussion of financing.
This is a highly complex issue that cannot sufficiently be addressed within the format of this Q&A.
Salaries and healthcare benefits for Council members.
Key issues of importance to me are effective decision making and the public input process.
Council should have adopted the Parks Commission's original recommendation for modest development of Sammamish Landing; not the lavish master plan they required for this park.
No, too expensive.
Preferably yes. EFR provides excellent service. A new EFR agreement, required by 2014, needs to be evaluated with other options for service and their costs.
We could encourage the city to go paperless to extent feasible (e.g., digitally delivered newsletter) , and continue closely to scrutinize city contracts and services.
I hope that next year we’ll have a vote by our residents on an affordable community-aquatic center.
Because of cost, I’d have downsized Parkway project, focusing on Inglewood Hill intersection safety, necessary left turn lanes, no median, pathway -- not sidewalk, curbs.
City should reconsider what is needed and have private sector lead or work with partners like YMCA. City should ensure citizens vote on final proposals.
As the city’s biggest expense, like all services provided to the city, it needs to be continually evaluated and reviewed for options.
1. Review growth of non-departmental-other general governmental services 2. Review capital projects to reduce maintenance expenses 3. Fewer and efficient use of consultants and memberships
Given the economic burden of the facility on our taxpayers, I cannot support it. Public/private options, alternate design/offerings to reduce costs must be evaluated.
Yes, we should remain with Eastside Fire & Rescue, but continue to work to with them on our cost structure and service offerings/ improvements.
From my business experience, a thorough evaluation/review of each budget area with the responsible manager must first occur before specifically calling out components to cut.

Ramiro Valderrama Age: 48 Occupation: Information technology executive
Jim Wasnick
What council decision made in the last four years would you change because you disagree with it? Why?
Jumpstarting the Town Center plan to move it from inertia to beginning development.
Jesse Bornfreund Age: 59 Occupation: Retired publishing executive
If elected, what is your top priority to accomplish next year?
Increased fiscal responsibility and citizen participation in the city business process to leverage their considerable expertise.
Review and potential adjustment of the Town Center plan with input from developers and the collaborative options to kick-start development.
Decision to spend over $11M on ELSPmedians and sidewalks portions. Costs significantly outweighed the benefits.
I would have done further work on the Shoreline Master Plan to support additional benefits for our property owners impacted by this.

POlice Blotter Make a run for it A 24-year-old Tacoma man was arrested for obstructing an officer and outstanding warrants after allegedly trying to flee from an x-ray room at Overlake Hospital. The man suffered minor injuries in a vehicle accident near the corner of Southeast Perigrine Point Way and East Lake Sammamish Parkway Oct. 4. The responding officer discovered that the man had outstanding warrants for residential burglary and possession of a stolen vehicle as well as several other misdemeanor warrants. The officer stood by as the man, who was complaining of back pain, was transferred to Overlake to have his injuries examined. The man was told that he would be going to jail, but the officer agreed to wait to book him until his family arrived at the
hospital because he wanted to see his 3-year-old son first. As the man was getting an x-ray done, he bolted from the room, down the hallway and out an emergency exit. The officer followed the suspect and threatened to tazer him, which prompted the man to drop to the ground. The officer put the man in handcuffs and advised him that the deal was off. He was booked into King County Jail.
Open door An officer on patrol on the 26500 block of Southeast 15th Street found an open garage door at around 8 p.m. Oct. 6. The officer warned the resident about recent burglaries that started with open garage doors.
Results of an open door A resident on the 5100 block of 188th Place Northeast had two bicycles, three GPS units and other items stolen from their open garage overnight Oct. 4. The burglary occurred sometime between 8 p.m. Oct. 4 and
SAMMAMISH REVIEW 8 a.m. Oct. 5. The case remains under investigation.
Found stash A Sammamish resident walking on the trail between 231st Place Northeast and 232nd Place Northeast near Northeast 19th Drive Oct. 4 found a backpack containing a bong and pipe that had been used to smoke marijuana. The resident turned the backpack over to police for disposal.
Missing iPad A Sammamish resident called police Oct. 3 to report that his iPad2 had gone missing from his living room. The resident told police that a house cleaner and nanny were the only people who had had access to the home when the device disappeared. The case remains under investigation.
No means no Sammamish police were called the evening of Oct. 1 to arrest an intoxicated woman who returned to her husband’s home despite a
no-contact order between the two. Police found the woman naked and hiding under a pile of clothes in a closet of the home. She told police she knew she was not supposed to be at the house but had returned to help fill out unspecified paperwork. The woman was arrested and booked into Issaquah Jail.
Kids and engines A 16-year-old Sammamish resident was cited for reckless driving after allegedly swerving in and out of his lane and driving 54 mph in a 25 mph zone on Southeast Windsor Boulevard near Southeast 9th Street at around 2 p.m. Oct. 4. An officer was at the corner checking the speed of motorists after repeated complaints of speeding on the road before and after school. The teen was at first apologetic and then became argumentative when the officer reported seeing him swerve into an oncoming lane while taking a corner at a high rate of speed. The teen’s mother was called to retrieve her son’s vehicle.
Issaquah-Pine Lake Road at around midnight Oct. 8. The deer had been hit by a car and appeared mortally injured. Roads crews were called to dispose of the carcass.
Welfare check An officer was called to check on a Sammamish woman who reported feeling suicidal Oct. 4. The woman told the officer she was depressed due to marital issues and did not want to live anymore. The officer stood by as the woman was transported to the hospital for a mental health evaluation.
Latte and jail A 52-year-old Issaquah man was arrested on an outstanding DUI warrant at around 11 a.m. Oct. 4. An officer on patrol in the QFC parking lot ran the man’s plate as he went into the Starbucks and discovered the outstanding warrant. The man was booked into King County Jail without incident.

Conversation with the Candidate Who is the “old guard”? By Tom Vance Now that the election is less than a month away and ballots will arrive at your home soon, a theme has emerged. It seems I’m part of the “old guard,” that I’m encumbered with a “legacy” and burdened with “baggage.” This is confusing. A few years ago I got involved in local politics because the “old guard” refused to allow the building of the East Lake Sammamish Trail; they hadn’t built any new ball fields for youth sports; and they hadn’t built one new park for our growing population. Then in 2006, I started volunteering for a better Sammamish. I chaired an advisory board on parks and recreation. In 2008, I began a term on the Planning Commission, two years as Chair, working on many challenging issues, including the Town Center zoning, design, and development regulations. In 2009, I ran for City Council on this platform: “experienced leadership and a vision for the next ten years.”
I can’t say much about my opponent. I met him a few months ago, when he signed up to run for Council. He says he has a vision. I’m not sure what it is so I’ll give you what I hope is our Sammamish vision. We’re an award-winning, livable city. But we must work to preserve our wonderful natural environment, our family-friendly neighborhoods, and great schools. With growth and change, we must work hard to stay financially sound, improve our roads, and keep our parks and recreation up to the needs of our many families and seniors. As the economy improves, we will continue to develop our already vital city center to manage our growth and be a place to live, work, shop and play. Oh, I almost forgot: When my opponent talks about “legacy,” that means anything that happened before last June. “Baggage”? That means “experience.” If you value our vision and my experience, I ask for your vote – to keep Sammamish an awardwinning, livable city into the future.
What do you think? Let’s continue the Conversation at www.tomvanceforcouncil.com

fourth-degree assault after allegedly slapping his wife during an argument the afternoon of Oct. 2. A Sammamish officer was approached by the wife, who was distraught and had abrasions on her face. The woman told police that her husband has slapped her after the two argued about the hour at which she returned from a night out with her friends. Police responded to the couple’s home and arrested the man, who claimed that he had simply pushed her away during the argument and not slapped her. He was taken into custody without incident.
DUI A 41-year-old Bothell woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after being found in a stalled vehicle in the middle of 228th Avenue at around 11:30 p.m. Oct. 8. An officer pulled up behind the woman, who said that she had popped her tires when she drove up onto the median. The woman smelled of alcohol, admitted to having drank wine and champagne at a friend’s birthday party and performed poorly on field sobriety tests. She was unable to blow hard enough into a breath test to give a reading. She was arrested on suspicion of DUI and was released to a friend.

Spartans are on the march
The Skyline dance team and cheerleaders got the crowd revved up. Skyline High School held its annual homecoming parade Oct. 14. Hundreds watched as students and community
members marched up 228th Avenue from Discovery Elementary to Skyline in advance of the school’s homecoming game. Girls along the parade route showed their Skyline spirit with colorful pom-poms.
Crowds lined the street and waved as parade floats passed. Future Spartans got in on the act, showing their Skyline pride before they even go to the school.

LearningRx changes people’s lives through brain training
Montalcino Ristorante Italiano has family recipes, wine, song
Why do some people learn and think faster than others? People with improved brain skills are mentally sharper, do better in school, on the job, on the athletic field, even behind the wheel of a car. They have more confidence. They’re more likely to go to college. They’re even likely to earn more money. Who needs a faster, smarter brain? ◆ Struggling students (poor performance, homework battles) ◆ Individuals with learning challenges ◆ Kids and adults with autism, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome or dyslexia ◆ Career adults seeking to advance their career ◆ Seniors who want to stay mentally sharp ◆ Victims of stroke or brain injury ◆ Students and adults needing help with test preparation Brain training rewires the brain and changes lives. Cognitive skills training emphasizes “how” to learn versus “what” you learn using intensive game-like procedures and a unique methodology. That’s where LearningRx comes in. LearningRx brain training programs strengthen pathways and even create new ones, raising IQ and dramatically improving how you think, remember and learn. According to Cornell Atwater, director for LearningRx in Issaquah, strong cognitive skills are the foundation for all learning – including reading, writing and math. “Cognitive skills include auditory and visual processing, short and long term memory, processing speed, logic and reasoning,” Atwater explains. “My experience at LearningRx changed my life,” says 14-year-old Cameron, a LearningRx student. “For a long time I had trouble focusing…now I finish my homework faster. The program was fun!”
At Montalcino, downtown Issaquah’s new authentic Italian restaurant, fine food and wine are a way of life. All dishes are prepared with passion and tradition, using only the freshest, highest quality real Italian ingredients.

LearningRx does more than treat the symptoms of learning disabilities; it addresses the source of the problem and provides a permanent solution. Frank and Perla decided to come to LearningRx because their son Ryan — diagnosed with ADD, dyslexia and ODD — needed help. “He was taking medication to function,” they explained. “Unfortunately, the medication did not help much in either his schoolwork or his self-esteem. LearningRx gave him the tools to change. He learned how to focus, do the task at hand and get organized.” “His transformation is incredible!” Frank and Perla say. “He does not take medication anymore. He does well in school and loves it.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
When moving didn’t work, they chose to expand their home By Caleb Heeringa
With their family about to expand and their home already proving to be tight quarters, Timberline residents Kelley and Matt Motley were faced with a bit of a conundrum. They’d spent months perusing real estate listings looking for something that offered more space than their 4-bedroom, 2.25bathroom 2,500-square-foot home but was still in their price range. “Pretty much everything we found that was in this neighborhood was not in our price range,” Matt Motley said. “It went from this type of home to a million dollars or more with nothing in between.” They were also limited by wanting to stay in the immediate area so their children could all attend Blackwell Elementary. The Motley’s daughters, 7 and 5-
years-old, both attend the school and have had great teachers. With 3-year-old Nate in the pipeline and the couple planning to adopt a 2-year-old boy from China by next summer, the Motleys didn’t like the prospect of switching schools. The couple also works from home – Matt works in real estate and Kelley works for a creditreporting company. The two often both work in one of the downstairs bedrooms, which has been converted to an office. “Space is at a premium,” Kelley Motley said. With their options so limited, the Motleys elected to add on to their current home rather than moving. They spent the summer working with an architect to craft the perfect addition and recently received their permits for the work through the city of Sammamish.

Autumn chemistry turns leaves from green to gold By Warren Kagarise
The mercury dips, rain starts to fall more often and leaves metamorphose from a demure green to riotous colors. Why? The change of color each autumn involves a complex chemical process as trees prepare for the coming winter. Throughout the growing season, chlorophyll is produced constantly. Then, as autumn starts and nights turn longer, chlorophyll production slows and then stops. The process allows the other colors in a leaf’s palette — brilliant golds, oranges and reds — to appear. “The other colors that you see when the green pigment goes away — because the chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll sort of die off as things get cold and things are going to go dormant for the year — those other colors are always there, they’re just masked by the green chlorophyll,” city Arborist Alan Haywood said. The autumn weather conditions influence leaves’ color and intensity, too. The formula for vibrant fall displays: sunsplashed, warm days and cool, crisp nights in succession. The
Why do leaves fall from trees? In early autumn, in response to the shorter days and less intense sunlight, leaves start a shutdown process. In a gradual process, the veins carrying fluids into and out of the leaf start to close off as a cell layer forms at the base of the leaf. The clogged veins trap sugars in the leaf and promote anthocyanin production. The leaf is ready to fall from the tree after the seal is complete and the connecting tissue is severed.

Weather condtions have a big impact on the vibrancy of fall leaves. amount of moisture in soil also influences leaf colors. “When we get sunny days and
cold nights — sometimes even frost — that really triggers lots of good color,” Haywood said.
“Often, we get our best color when we have that great September weather, that kind of
Indian summer-type weather, where you get the warm days and you get the cold, clear nights.” In the daytime, if the weather is sunny, leaves produce abundant sugars. The combination of sunlight and sugar production causes the leaf to produce anthoSee LEAVES, Page 19

The choice of pumpkin can come down to personal taste.
People prefer perfect pumpkins By Christina Lords
About 50,000 pounds of pumpkins dot the landscape as far as the eye can see. There are oblong gourds with ample, flat surface areas for carving. Others are rotund, boasting a sturdy stem and a thick, perfect shell. Glenn Dutro, who has offered families a chance to pick their own pumpkins for the past three years at the u-pick pumpkin patch at the Trinity Tree Farm in Issaquah, wants something else out of his Halloween pumpkin entirely. “The perfect pumpkin is all just a matter of personal preference,” he said. “Most people want a big, bright, beautiful thing. I want one with scars on it. I want it messed up and nasty.” Ken Allison, a produce manager for PCC Natural Markets, said the perfect pumpkin is all in the eye of the beholder. “It’s all in a person’s aesthetic judgment,” he said. “Typically, what I look for to carve or to sell is the stem to be attached still. That way you know it’s not knocked or kicked around. You want the pumpkin to feel firm so it won’t rot and collapse right away.” Customers typically like their perfect pumpkin to be bright orange for dark fall days, Allison

all now,” Matt Motley said. The project now includes adding a large bonus room and laundry room above the garage. The laundry room will mean no more trips up and down the stairs with arms full of dirty clothes. “With so many kids we’re doing laundry just about every day,” Kelley Motley said. “It’ll be nice to not have to lug it up and down stairs.” The Motleys are now in the process of taking bids from different general contractors for the work, which will cost approximately $200,000. Matt said bids are coming in just a little higher than he expected, though they are hopeful that it’s money they’ll see the value of later. He said they like the idea of adding value to their home rather than throwing money away on loan fees and the other costs inherent in buying or selling a home. “In theory we should be able to recoup some of those costs,” he said. The Motleys had hoped to get construction going this summer, but were delayed because they decided to tweak the architect’s designs several times. The family is now faced with construction starting this fall, which could add some costs and inconveniences – they’re hoping to stay in the

pumpkin as big as they can carry, while parents tend to be a little more conservative while picking out their perfect pumpkin, Dutro said. Pumpkins at the u-pick patch range from hand-held mini pumpkins to whoppers weighing in at 45 pounds. There’s only one determining factor to how long it takes to find a pumpkin, Dutro said. “It all depends on the weather,” he said. “If it’s raining, they go to the first patch they see and they can be there five minutes. If the sun’s out, they’ll be here for hours.” Dutro and Allison agreed that if a customer is looking for the perfect baking pumpkin for holiday treats, a large jack-o-lantern type pumpkin is not the way to go. “The first mistake people make is they pick too big of a
The color palette responsible for fiery leaf colors each fall results from a series of pigments contained in the leaf. The chemistry behind the autumn changeover is complex, but understanding some basics about photosynthesis and pigments is important. Chlorophyll — Chlorophyll, as many folks remember from elementary school science, gives leaves a green hue and absorbs sunlight. The substance is necessary for photosynthesis — the process plants use to turn energy from the sun into food. In the spring and summer, chlorophyll masks the other pigments in a leaf. Carotenoids — The same chemicals responsible for the distinctive oranges and yellows in bananas and carrots exist inside leaves. Chlorophyll, after cues from day length and temperature, starts to break down in the fall, revealing the carotenoids underneath. Anthocyanins — The water-soluble substance responsible for the brilliant reds and purples in autumn leaves is produced in sugars in the leaf throughout the fall. Anthocyanins also lend a bright burst to apples and cranberries. Sources: Issaquah City Arborist Alan Haywood, U.S. Forest Service
pumpkin, which ends up making it a huge project when it doesn’t need to be,” Allison said. “What they need is a sugar pie pumpkin, which is about the size of a 16-inch softball. Do get a pumpkin for what you need.” Sugar pie pumpkins are good alternatives for pies, soups, muffins and breads. They’re dense with fewer seeds and strings inside the gourd, he said. The u-pick patch will host about 25 classes for school tours and also takes reservations for birthday parties. Customers can go on a hayride or sit around a bonfire located on site. Concessions and a gift shop are available. The patch is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each week until Oct. 30. “We really believe picking out a pumpkin can be a day-long event,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be something you just throw in your shopping cart and call it good.”

Small, inexpensive projects can refresh a home By Tom Corrigan
A can or two of paint. The above might be just the answer if you are looking to quickly and inexpensively refresh or renew a room or rooms. “If you are willing to use some elbow grease, painting is one thing you can do,” said Cindy Dornon, an interior designer with Urbanity, an Issaquah home décor store. At Issaquah’s Lowe’s, Assistant Store Manager Daniel Pena said essentially the same. “The quickest thing to do in
the area of home improvement is to paint,” Pena said. Both also talked about not having to do an entire room, but instead applying some color to one wall or entranceway, creating an accent wall. According to Pena, the current color trend is toward grays. “But you can never go wrong with bright colors,” he added. For example, red is perfect for sharpening up a room and it’s a color lots of people think of when they picture an accent wall. By the way, if you’re not in the mood to paint, Pena said new curtains are a great way to add

color to a room. He also talked a bit about wallpaper, which he said has undergone some changes over the years. Most newer wallpaper is meant, he said, to add texture or a fabric feel to your walls. The instructions for hanging it have changed as well. There is no need to wet the pieces before they go up on your wall; just glue them in place. Pena did add one note of caution. Because of uneven surfaces, newer wallpaper isn’t always readily washable. If you have small children or otherwise have a wall that gets a lot of contact, wallpaper might not be for you. Another quick, easy way to change your surroundings is to rearrange those surroundings, Dornon said. In other words, move your accessories or your furniture. “Lots of people have the tendency to puts things in one place and leave it there for years,” she added. Lamps and lighting obviously are functional as well as decorative. Dornon said because of the

For her design projects, Dornon said she is not attached to any one particular style. Instead, she likes to look at a room and see how it is used, coming up with individualized plans. Among other positives, Dornon believes such a plan can cut down on impulse purchases of things for the home, items that either don’t fit or are not needed. Because of the sluggish economy, Dornon believes more people are redecorating or remodeling their homes instead of buying new homes. She urged at least one note of

Consider options in wallpaper versus paint debate While it can be an important factor, aesthetic preference isn’t the only consideration for homeowners as they select a winner in the wallpaper-versus-paint redecorating battle. Cost, upkeep, family-friendly alternatives and even allergies can influence whether paint or wallpaper will become a more ideal alternative for a home. While upfront costs may be associated with wallpaper, today’s vinyl wall coverings may result in cost savings in the long run. Some coverings may last five times longer than traditional paint under normal use, according to the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers. Homeowners with kids or pets should be aware of common cleaning issues associated with paint or wallpaper. Children often cause more wear and tear on a house and its wall décor more than an adults-only home would experience. Pets often sleep against walls, which can leave a mark over time. Vinyl wallpaper or scrubbable paint are good alternatives to situations where children, furniture or pets leave frequent markings along walls.

You might also think about adding a pre-built vanity. Kitchens are another room people often want to make over with a major remodel.

Parents and their athletic children will have an opportunity to save a bunch of money on typically expensive sports equipment soon. The Sammamish Kiwanis Club will hold its annual Ski and Sport Swap Oct. 29 at Pine Lake Covenant Church. Club members highlighted that the event continues to grow and in 2011 will include ample selection of ski and other sports gear. While the event started as a way of trading mostly ski equipment, it has grown to include sports equipment of all sorts, from skis and snowboards to soccer and baseball equipment. “I can’t think of a better way to take advantage of recycling or making your recreational sport more affordable,” said event orga-
nizer Nicky Beedle. “Why spend top dollar for equipment that will likely be obsolete by the end of next season?” Community members are encouraged to donate their gently used gear to the swap. You can also swap your gear for credit to put toward other gear you purchase at the Ski and Sport Swap. But of course, donated items fetch 100 percent profit, the proceeds of which go toward the Kiwanis Children and Youth leadership mentoring projects, Beedle said. The Ski and Sport Swap runs 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Sat. Oct. 29. Bring items to donate between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28 and between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Saturday.

Being nice, showing unexpected kindness and choosing positive influences might not be new to parents, but those ideas were the focus of the program that kicked off a year-long effort at each school to encourage their youth to practice compassion and kindness in everything they do. “This gives us kind of a reason, or a start to talk about kindness and compassion and including other kids,” said Mike Anderson, principal at Blackwell. At Blackwell, Daryn Jackson, from the Rachel’s Challenge organization, talked with the elementary students and showed them videos demonstrating various acts of forgiveness, friendship and inclusiveness. After an hour of conversation and interaction, the students then decided whether or not they would accept the challenge. Most
raised their hands, but those who took it seriously signed an 8-footlong banner hung in the school’s hallway the next day. “I wanted to do something that would change the culture of our school,” said Mary Cronin, Carson principal. “It’s not bad, but I wanted people to say, ‘wow, this is an amazing school,’ when they walked into the building.” Parents at both schools also got involved in the program. They got together with Jackson and school leaders the night of Oct. 11 to learn how they can be part of what Rachel Scott called “a chain reaction of kindness.” “This is all about community and including everybody,” Anderson said after the Blackwell assembly. “It’s growing in this area.” The Rachel’s Challenge movement was inspired by 17-year-old Rachel Scott, who was the first person killed in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Her lifestyle of kindness and compassion, as well as the six diaries she left behind serve as the foundation of the organization, which sends reps around the country to work with schools and other organizations. The point is for students to feel empowered to create their own culture of kindness and

The program mainly addresses the causes of problems like bullying, isolation and prejudice. The elementary students were encouraged to do little acts of kindness for someone at school. The middle and high school ver-
sions of the program follow a similar theme, but address more issues specific to student life at those respective levels. Cronin said they had been planning to bring Rachel’s Challenge to Sammamish since the spring, after she was moved by a television special about the
Author, illustrator shows scouts how to do it About 40 Cub Scouts and 20 of their parents from Sammamish and Issaquah took drawing lessons from a pro Oct. 12 at Sunny Hills Elementary School. John Skewes, author and illustrator of the “Larry Gets Lost” children’s book series, visited with the first- through fifthgraders to inspire them to become creative writers and artists. Originally from Seattle, Skewes has worked as a designer, character artist, illustrator and product designer for Disney, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox and Jim Hensen Productions. He illustrated books featuring Tom and Jerry, Alvin & the Chipmunks and the Flintstones.

As the Lake Washington School Board prepares to bring on a new member after the fall election, the school district is also reshaping each director’s area of representation, according to a board discussion Oct. 10. If the current proposed boundary change is approved, Doug Eglington, who represents families in district four — Sammamish and bits of Redmond and unincorporated King County — will see his district shrink by roughly 2,000 people. But it will grow geographically. His zone will lose the northern and northwestern tip of Lake Sammamish and gain the area between State Route 202 and Northeast 80th Street on Union See BOUNDARY, Page 25

Eglington currently represents 37,435 Lake Washington district residents. If the change is approved as proposed, he will represent 35,397 people. State law requires school districts to re-draw school board director district boundaries every
passionate quote of the day during daily announcements, too. “What we are all most excited about is the change we hope to see in everyone … children, parents, teachers, community; that giving to others is important and by doing so, we will start a “chain reaction,” Cronin said. As the school year progresses, students will construct a chain of linked paper rings which have their acts of kindness written on them. Anderson said they hope to hold a joint school assembly to celebrate Blackwell’s and Carson’s newly embraced culture of kindness. “Our ultimate goal is to link the chain between Blackwell and Carson — a rather ambitious goal,” Cronin said. “But the biggest goal is to instill in our children, kindness matters. It’s the little things, and one person, no matter how old they are, can and does make a difference.”

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
No. 1 Eastlake dominates Issaquah in 44-17 win By Christina Lords
Through tough defense and spot-on special teams play, the Eastlake High School Wolves defeated the Issaquah Eagles 4417 in KingCo 4A Conference play Oct. 14. Eastlake, the Seattle Times’ No. 1 ranked 4A school in the state, handed the Eagle’s their second loss of the season. With 6:18 left in the first quarter, Eastlake senior Colton Teglovic intercepted and returned a pass for a touchdown from Issaquah senior quarterback Ethan Kalin. “It was important,” Teglovic said of his first interception. “It got the team fired up, and we never looked back from there.” Teglovic would go on intercept another Kalin pass in the second quarter and added another touchdown after a 75-yard kickoff return to start the second half of the game. The scores were Teglovic’s first two touchdowns of the season. “It’s huge for our whole team morale,” he said. “When defense makes plays like that, it gets
everybody going.” Issaquah coach Chris Bennett praised his team’s ability to run the ball, but said turnovers and two stellar Eastlake kickoff returns eradicated any sense of rhythm the Eagles’ offense was able to establish. “You just can’t give up four interceptions and give up two special teams touchdowns to a quality team,” Bennett said. Eastlake Coach Gene Dales credited his team’s depth and senior leadership for their 7-0 success this season. “We’ve got 25 kids out there and a lot of them have been playing since fifth and sixth grade together,” he said. “The thing I like the best about them is we have tremendous chemistry. They’re all about team, not individuals. We come out of the tunnel, and it’s all together.” Eastlake senior running back Ryan Lewis added two rushing touchdowns for the Wolves in the second quarter. After a 35-yard field goal from Issaquah’s Alex Shane and a 23yard pass from Kalin to junior wide receiver Reed Peterson in the second quarter, the score was

Jackie Wilson floated a free kick perfectly into the scrum of players at the edge of the goal box. Skyline junior forward Anna Deweirdt took it, saw the opening and fired the ball right past Eastlake goalkeeper Bryce Kennedy for the go-ahead goal in the 71st minute. “I just know how Jackie kicks,” Deweirdt said after the match Oct. 13 at Eastlake High School. Skyline dealt Eastlake its first KingCo 4A loss in a 2-1 victory. The Spartans remain in second place in the league at 6-0-1, behind Issaquah (6-0-2), which beat Bothell 2-1 the same night. The Wolves fell to 2-1-4 in KingCo and 4-2-7 overall. “We knew 23 (Wilson) delivers a great ball,” said Chuck Krieble, Eastlake’s head coach. “There were no surprises tonight.” Deweirdt noted that she and Wilson work on shots like the winning one at practice often. Wilson feeds a well-aimed chipshot from about 30 yards out and Deweirdt just seems to find it and time the hard shot on goal. “I just knew she was going to be there,” Wilson said about watching her free kick land in
just the right spot for her teammate forward. Eastlake struck first in the 14th minute. Standout midfielder Kelsey Haberly took a one-touch pass from Marissa Katagiri, who had re-directed a Kennedy goal kick at center-mid-field. Haberly took the ball at about 30 yards out, dribbled past two Skyline defenders and shot across the goal left to right, landing the ball inside the right post past a diving Tina Vargas. “It was nice to get on top early,” Krieble said. Skyline came back with the equalizer in the 22nd minute. Jordan Branch, a Skyline sophomore midfielder, took a throw-in from junior defender Lianna Simms on the left sideline. Branch controlled the ball, and knocked a shot into center-goal from 15 yards out past a diving Kennedy. A recent JV call-up, Simms has given Skyline some help against pressing opponents. “Liann’s played great for us since she came up from JV,” Braman said. The score was tied 1-1 at the halftime break.

Eastlake golf goes undefeated By Christopher Huber
A lot of coaching high school sports is about reminding the players how good they are or can be, said Pat Bangasser, Eastlake’s longtime golf coach. He got a lot of chances to do that this fall, as the Wolves went a perfect 10-0 in the regular season. “The guys have had a great year,” he said before the KingCo 4A tournament Oct. 12. The landmark year began with the boys ending mighty Redmond’s 23-match winning streak. “That gave us some confidence,” Bangasser said. Another major part of raising a championship team is getting each player to “walk like an athlete” — with mental focus and toughness on the course. And the boys of Eastlake have become one of the tougher teams on the course. Team chemistry is a key descriptor for the Eastlake squad in 2011, too. Team leaders like Li Wang, Spencer Weiss,
Skyline, Eastside Catholic notch wins The Skyline Spartans improved to 5-2 overall and continue to lead the KingCo 4A standings with Eastlake, after handily beating Jackson 49-24 Oct. 14. Quarterback Max Browne took it to the Timberwolves through the passing game. He finished the game with 247 yards through the air and com-
Will Sharp and Jack Fisher played a lot of golf over the summer and were hitting their stride as the fall high school season began. In fact, RP McCoy, Jack Strickland and Paul Russo played a lot of golf over the summer, too. So they’ve spent ample time on the course together to learn about each other’s game and style. “It’s a good working relationship. They help each other out,” Bangasser said. “They all love the game too. You never have to motivate them to practice.” Not only do they have all the mechanics of good golf worked out on their own when they come to practice, but the roster is deep. In 10 matches, five different golfers medaled with the low score at least once. Sharp medaled or co-medaled four times and shot above a 40-stroke 9-hole game just once, according to the team’s results webpage. “That’s a pretty special team when you can have that (depth),” Bangasser said. pleted 19 of 25 pass attempts. He threw six touchdown passes to five different receivers, including a 55-yard bomb to receiver Taggart Krueger in the first quarter. Krueger finished with five receptions for 176 yards and two touchdowns. Skyline kept the attack balanced throughout the Jackson contest in Sammamish. Browne connected first with receiver Eric Thies for a 5-yard touchdown, and then connected with

Skyline placed fourth with 27.5 points. Freshman Kelley Sullivan finished tied with Weiss, tallying a score of 152 strokes (73-79). He was the only ninth-grader to advance. Sophomore Brian Mogg took 11th place with a 75-80-155. a touchdown pass to Krueger. Jackson answered with seven in the first and another 14 in the second quarter.

going into halftime. Despite going down 24-21 early in the third, Skyline’s Browne found his receivers once again. The Spartans scored 28 unanswered points in the second half. Browne first connected with receiver Trevor Barney for a 16-yard passing touchdown. He later tossed a

SAMMAMISH REVIEW It plays at Eastlake at 7 p.m. Eastside Catholic 28, Blanchet 14 The Eastside Catholic Crusaders relied on a 22-point third quarter to beat the visiting Bishop Blanchet Braves Oct. 14. Both defenses held the other team scoreless into the second quarter, when Eastside’s Danny Omiliak made a 19-yard field goal to put the Crusaders up 3-0. Blanchet scored later in the quarter, but Eastside Catholic special
teams unit blocked the PAT attempt. Down 6-3 to begin the third, the Crusaders took care of business on both sides of the ball. The defense shut down the Blanchet offense, holding it scoreless, and the Eastside offense turned up the energy in its running game. Chevy Walker opened up the half with a 3-yard rushing touchdown and Elisha Paaga followed suit with a 57yard touchdown run to put the
Crusaders up 17-6. But quarterback Trey Reynolds wasn’t done either. He finished off third-quarter scoring with a 52-yard run for a touchdown. Eastside executed a 2-point conversion on a Reynolds-to-Hayden Meier pass to make it 25-6. In the fourth quarter, Omiliak punched 28-yard kick through the uprights to put the game away. Eastside Catholic improved to 1-2 in Metro competition and 4-3 overall.
