New YMCA will deal with transgender issues on a ‘case-by-case’ basis By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com
Local salmon savior ready to take on his next fight By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Having spent more than $200,000 of his own money to save kokanee salmon in Ebright Creek, Sammamish’s Wally Pereyra is on a new mission. The hero of the only species of salmon native to Lake Sammamish, Pereyra next wants to take on restoring Zaccuse Creek. The hardest part may be having to dig up close to $1 million for replacing a culvert that serves as a pathway for the creek under East Lake Sammamish Parkway. There are three culverts that can cut off any fish trying to make it up Zaccuse Creek from Lake Sammamish, said David St. John, chairman and coordinator of the Kokanee Work Group, part of the King County Department of Natural

Resources. The first is under East Lake Sammamish Shore Lane. It is usually not a problem for fish, though it can be when water flows too fast. The same thing applies to the second culvert that sits in the area of East Lake Sammamish Trail under construction by King County. Pereyra said he expects the county will replace that culvert as part of the East Lake Sammamish Trail project. The third and final culvert is the parkway culvert and it is always a problem for fish, St. John said. Pereyra said the culvert doesn’t even line up with the creek. Pereyra purchased 13 acres of land east of the parkway, land through which the stream flows. He said the creek clearly needs rehab in that area. “But the next critical issue
is to replace that culvert,” he added. Pereyra said he wants to use a box culvert under the parkway and ensure that the culvert and the creek are properly aligned. Pereyra described a box culvert as sort of a “U” over the stream. The culvert would be bottomless. The box would pass dirt and sand and so on, whereas the current pipe does not, creating a blockage fish just can’t overcome. St. John said the creek below the parkway is seriously degraded, under invasion by non-native plants. There is no gravel in the stream for kokanee to spawn in. Pereyra hopes to change all that, largely at his own expense. Kokanee would be released into the creek as See PEREYRA, Page 2

Convict in DUI deaths accused of drinking again By Sara Jean Green Seattle Times staff reporter A 69-year-old Sammamish woman who killed her husband and son-in-law in May 2014 after mixing wine and sleeping pills and crashing her Jeep through her lakefront home was booked into the King County Jail on Oct. 12 for allegedly drinking alcohol in violation of her release conditions. Carol Fedigan pleaded guilty July 30 to two counts of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, DUI and reckless endangerment. Although she was initially scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 14, Fedigan was granted a continuance until Oct. 23, court records show. She posted $100,000 bail and was ordered not to drink alcohol

On the heels of his effort to restore Ebright Creek, Sammamish’s Wally Pereyra wants to next to take on Zaccuse Creek, bringing it back as a spawning ground for kokanee salmon.
In April, the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties announced a new policy allowing transgender members to use the restroom or locker room corresponding to the gender with which they identified. “Anecdotally, we had transgender members using locker rooms and restrooms for 10 years or more without a problem,” said Michelle LaRue, vice president of marketing and development for the Pierce and Kitsap YMCA. The Sammamish YMCA will not have a specific written policy regarding transgender members, according to David
Mayer, executive director. “We will work on a case-bycase basis to find a reasonable, respectful solution,” he said. “I do not want to be showering with someone like that,” said one Sammamish resident in a call to Sammamish Review. “I certainly don’t want my children or grandchildren exposed to that.” The caller said she was worried the policy in place in the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap might take hold in the new Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center, which is under construction behind City Hall. The YMCA is slated to operate the building, scheduled to open early next year.
while awaiting sentencing. She also was ordered to wear a transdermal alcohol-sensing device that measures alcohol content in perspiration, according to court records. A bench warrant was issued for her arrest Oct. 9 after King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Amy Freedheim learned Fedigan’s alcohol-sensing device detected alcohol beginning at noon Oct. 5, with consumption continuing through Oct. 6, according to court records. Her blood alcohol content peaked at 0.16 percent, twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent, the records said. In her order seeking a bench warrant for Fedigan’s arrest, See DUI, Page 2

Range From Page 1 “Everybody is welcome in the YMCA,” Mayer said. In talking about the experience of the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap, LaRue wanted to make clear the Sammamish YMCA is a completely separate organization. Mayer said as the local YMCA is starting with a brand new building, it is in a great position to create private locker room and shower spaces. The issue was never one of discrimination against the transgender community, LaRue said. The concerns revolved around nontransgender
plants growing where the water should be. St. John further mentioned Pereyra had paid for engineering studies of the area. “It’s good technical work, so we have those,” he said. “It all looks like it’s on the right track.” But both Pereyra and St. John come back to that culvert under the parkway.
“This seems like this is a situation where we are not going to make everyone happy.” — Michelle LaRue YMCA official persons abusing the policy and using the locker room or shower room of the opposite sex for unwelcome reasons. “We are a memberdriven organization,” LaRue noted. “We had over 1,000 comments.” In October, in response to all those comments, the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap changed its policy for family YMCAs. The Y’s website spells out the new policy.
Both say it is the key to restoring Zaccuse Creek. Pereyra talked about the city paying for the replacement. He’s found at least one ally in Sammamish City Councilman Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo. Restoring creeks such as Ebright and Zaccuse are supposed to be a council priority, ValderramaAramayo said. He criticized Transgender members in transition will use private locker rooms for dressing and showering at designated family YMCAs. At adult-oriented facilities, transgender persons may continue to use locker rooms and restrooms that align with their gender identification. “The Y is actively assessing our locker room practices to ensure they meet the needs of all our members,” wrote Bob Ecklund, president and CEO of the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties. “This includes ensuring children are not exposed to inappropriate nudity.” There was some backlash from the transgender community regarding the rule change, LaRue said.

“This seems like this is a situation where we are not going to make everyone happy,” LaRue added. “So far, it seems to be a reasonable solution.” One other issue LaRue mentioned is that the law is largely silent regarding what is or isn’t required or allowed in such situations. The issue is new enough that the legalities haven’t caught up with reality. Mayer said he had not heard from anyone in the community with concerns about the new Sammamish YMCA. He reiterated that he hopes any issues that do arise can be handled with respect and dignity for all involved. “Everyone is welcome at the Y,” he stressed.
ing Zaccuse Creek. A residential development may prove harmful to Laughing Jacobs Creek, another kokanee run, making fully restoring Zaccuse all that more important. “This would be a big step forward,” St. John said, “another place for kokanee to spawn… It would be a big win for us.” Besides the city, St.
John mentioned that the Snoqualmie Tribe is hunting for grants that might not be available to other people. St. John also mentioned some federal money may be available. “There’s some momentum behind this,” St. John said. “This is going to happen. I’m confident of that,” Pereyra said.

Fedigan’s alleged alcohol violations would have any bearing on her upcoming sentencing. Fedigan was having dinner with her husband, daughter and son-in-law at their home on Lake Sammamish on May 16, 2014, when she decided to move her Jeep into her driveway from where it was parked across the lane from the house, charging papers said. The other adults remained seated in the dining room. The Jeep plowed through the house, smashed over the dinner table and continued through the house’s rear windows, over a covered patio, down some stairs to a deck and through a railing, with the front end of the Jeep coming to rest in Lake Sammamish, the charges said.
From Page 1 Freedheim wrote that the company monitoring Fedigan’s transdermal device “confirmed another alcohol violation and is preparing that violation report.” A time frame for that alleged violation was not specified in Freedheim’s order. Consuming alcohol “is a material violation of her condition of release and a violation of her plea agreement with the state,” Freedheim wrote. The state and defense previously agreed to jointly recommend that Fedigan be sentenced to six years in prison, followed by a year on electronic home detention. It was unclear whether

Dave Reichert decides he won’t run for governor Congressman Dave Reichert will not run for governor in 2016, eliminating the Republican Party’s highest-profile potential challenger to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee. Instead, Reichert says he’ll seek re-election to his 8th District congressional seat. The 8th District includes Sammamish. Reichert made the announcement in an email Oct. 16, finally putting an end to months of speculation the former King County sheriff might jump in to take on Inslee. “Like so many of you, I have been extremely disappointed in the decisions coming out of the governor’s office…” Reichert said. “Yet, I believe I can better serve you now, today, in another Washington where politicians are more interested in fighting each other than fighting for America, where leadership has been in retreat, and courage has been on recess.” In what has become an every-couple-of-years ritual, Reichert, R-Auburn, had been telling reporters he was keeping his options open and considering a possible bid for governor or U.S. Senate next year. Some Republican operatives had said Reichert appeared more serious this

year than in the past, looking at polling and seeking advice. But in the end, Reichert again shied away from the statewide contest in favor of a safer congressional campaign. The six-term Republican has a seat on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee and was recently tapped to lead the House GOP’s efforts on policing reforms. “I am in a unique position to work with both Democrats and Republicans

on some of the most important issues facing this nation and Washington State,” Reichert said, citing tax reform and free trade. Reichert’s decision follows similar announcements from state Sens. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, and Andy Hill, R-Redmond, who also plan to run for re-election instead of governor. That clears the way for Port of Seattle Commissioner Bill Bryant to be the GOP’s presumptive leading challenger for Inslee next year.

OPINION
SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Letters to the Editor Vote for a candidate who will really help people A recent article in Sammamish Review (Oct. 1) reports that former Sammamish City Councilman Mark Cross wants to make a return to the council. Seeking the seat about to be vacated by incumbent Councilwoman Nancy Whitten, he is running against Christie Malchow for Position 2. But Mark Cross will not get my vote, and his own words — taken from that article — will tell you why. In reference to the East Lake Sammamish Trail, Cross said, “We do need to help the residents down there.” Really, Mark? You want to help us down here? I am sorry, but that same distant, ‘down there” attitude not only characterized your previous terms in office, but came out very clearly in every encounter you ever had with the hundreds of trail-side residents asking for your help when it was really needed. Had you cared to listen then, had you come to understand our concerns then, or if you had even heeded just some of our warnings, we might have prevented the unnecessary cutting of thousands of trees, the destruction of private properties, the never-ending construction delays and a loss of confidence many of us have in our own city and county governments. Many of the folk “down here” have lived here for decades before we had grocery stores, gas stations, schools, any kind of traffic or even city councils. Believe it or not, Mr. Cross, we are a viable part
of the Sammamish community and we are currently looking “up there” for candidates who fully recognize that…and who recognize all the citizens of Sammamish. That is why I am voting for your opponent, Christie Malchow, and why I am supporting Ramiro Valderrama and Tom Hornish along with her. You see, Mark, they are already helping. Jim Creevey Sammamish
of the general welfare of the city as a whole. Because we are losing a great, long-standing environmental advocate in Nancy Whitten, it is important that we bring in someone with knowledge of land-use code and one who will truly work to balance the environment with growth. Ilene Stahl Sammamish
As an environmental advocate for many years, I trust Mark Cross. He is a tried and true supporter of the environment in Sammamish. As a councilmember, he supported regulations that have protected our trees, wetlands, streams and wildlife, and has proven himself by advocating for what is best for everyone, not just a few. Mark’s opponent, while a good and passionate citizen, has no government experience. She is also a member of Citizens for Sammamish, a group whose membership has advocated in many public processes for reduced environmental regulations. A few years ago, I naively joined their “environmental subcommittee” only to find out that I was the only one interested in actually protecting the environment. All the others on the committee felt the regulations prevented them from the free use of their property. It seems to me that any member of Citizens for Sammamish might tend to be influenced by the others in their group instead
tating impact that bullying has on children, but what is not widely known is that bullying is increasingly a problem in the workplace, where “grownup” bullies exhibit behaviors similar to that in the classroom. They intimidate and harass their victims, undermine their reputation, spread gossip to destroy credibility, seek to isolate and create an environment that is hostile and debilitating. In addition to the impact on the victim, workplace bullies negatively impact the business from every standpoint. Over the past two years, I’ve watched in dismay as a culture of bullying has taken hold within our city, where a small handful of council members have sought to control our city through intimidation, to silence the voices of those whose opinions are different from their own. This has been directed not only at a few members of the council, but also at individual citizens. While it has been in plain sight for anyone to see, very few have called it out. Those

who witness it and remain silent enable it to continue. To do nothing will only embolden the bullies. When they succeed in shutting down the voices of others, our whole city pays the price — through loss of valuable leaders, diversion of energy and purpose, and poor quality decision-making that is not informed by open, vigorous debate. So, today, I am giving it my voice. The latest casualty claimed by the bullying and intimidation is Councilwoman Nancy Whitten. After 12 years of service, she made the difficult decision to step down at the end of the year. Her reason? She could no longer work in the environment where she faced constant intimidation, isolation and bullying by certain council members. Why was she bullied? Because she called out for the council and city to follow process, and work openly and transparently. For those who value the character of our neighborhoods and the beauty within our environment, we owe a huge debt to Nancy Whitten. One way to repay that debt is to give voice to what caused her to leave and hold those bullies accountable. Sherie Valderrama Sammamish
Vote for Christie Malchow for Sammamish City Council Political season brings on the naysayers and negative attacks. I want to remind those about Christie Malchow, from someone who actually knows her. Directly
from Malchow’s website, from their environmental champion, retiring Councilmember Nancy Whitten is quoted and says, “If Christie Malchow wins, our community would be well served by a woman who is a wife and mother of young children with a fresh perspective and a concern for the environment echoing my strong interest.” I know Christie Malchow, too. I know her to have spent time and money fighting for balanced growth, one that doesn’t have our city throwing our codes to the wayside in the interest of developers. She put her money where her mouth is. She isn’t just talk; she’s action. That’s what our city needs now. We’re a young city in age both in demographics and history. We need a balanced council, one that has representation for those of us with young families, someone that sees our perspective and the long-term benefits for a city entering its next generation. It’s time to add a balancing voice to our council. It’s time to Vote Malchow for Position 2! John and Kari Feistner Sammamish

another example of someone using a public forum to spread misinformation about a candidate. I am a neighbor in Chestnut Estates, the same neighborhood in which Christie Malchow resides. I’m intimately familiar with the appeal against the Chestnut Estates West development. Your claim that the appeal was based on just a road variation is simply untrue! In an effort to maximize the chances for success, the neighborhood’s appeal was coordinated with two other appellants, which took a divide-andconquer approach. Just because Ms. Malchow’s appeal fell on the side of the road variance issue, I promise you that she had intimate knowledge of the environmental side as well. Ms. Malchow is a very strong proponent of protecting our environment, and making assumptions that contradict that as well as other topics to which you are not privy does not promote community but rather serves to sever and divide. I am a supporter of Ms. Malchow’s, and your remarks that somehow she’s misinformed on the GMA are preposterous. She states clearly that she thinks our council has simply failed citizens with regards to how the city manager chooses (or not) to reign in staff-supported variances to developers, and that is a council issue. It’s their job to make sure the policies set at the council level are carried out at the staff level, and if that isn’t happening, you bet it’s on our council. Greg Shugarts Sammamish

Fire commissioners propose benefit re-authorization
Bikes stolen
On the Nov. 3 ballot, Proposition 1 will request approval by citizens of King County Fire Protection District 10 for a re-authorization of the Fire Benefit Charge, which was originally supported by voters in 2003 and re-authorized by a near 80 percent majority in 2009. Fire District 10 encompasses Issaquah and parts of Sammamish and Renton. Under state law, the charge must be re-authorized every six years and cannot exceed 60 percent of the total annual cost of operations. (The charge in the district, over the past five years, provided 37 percent of annual operating costs.) Agencies authorized by voters to use the charge have a tax limit of $1 per $1,000 of assessed value, rather than the ability to collect $1.50, as was the case prior to 2003. The commissioners feel the re-authorization of the charge is crucial in the continuation of providing stability for needed funding, which translates to predictable and sustainable service levels, according to a news

The incident was reported around 2:30 p.m. Oct. 7. q One or more persons used a stolen credit card at a gas station after swiping a purse from a car parked near the intersection of Northeast Eighth Street and East Lake Sammamish Parkway on Oct. 9.

release. They also feel the charge is the fairest method of collection the dollars needed to maintain fire, EMS and rescue services, the release said. If re-authorized, the charge would continue to be used to identify risk and resources needed for any specific property. Since the charge only applies to structures, land value is not included in the charge process calculations. Those with large structures and/or types of operations that constitute greater risk, and therefore demand more from the fire department, pay a higher charge than most homeowners. A failure to approve re-authorization of the charge would cause the commissioners to fall back to the pre-2003 method of collecting taxes at a rate of $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

Husband, wife artists display together for first time They will have been married for 50 years as of next month and each has been doing their own art projects for many years as well. Yet, they have never collaborated on a project, have never even had their work displayed together. That’s about to change. At age 72 and 70, respectively, husband and wife team Kent and Michele Van Slyke are the latest artists whose work is on display in the Sammamish City Hall Commons Art Gallery. “You & Me, Me & You” will feature the steel
sculpture of Michele and the photography of Kent. A reception is from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 22 in the Commons Gallery. The exhibit runs through Jan. 16. “We are very different in our work,” said Michele, who added she doesn’t really remember ever not being an artist, though she says she went to college to become an interpreter. She admits that was mostly to make her parents happy. As for Kent, he spent most of his life as a graphic designer working in advertising. He’s now retired and photography has become front and center to him.

different ways. For the most part, the two are intertwining their displays in Sammamish. “It’s two different points of view,” Kent said. “It’s going to be very interesting.” “It’s kind of difficult to combine the two media,” Michele added. And while they have not specifically ever worked together, they do bounce ideas off of each other in the Bainbridge Island studio they have shared for 40 years. “We don’t step on each others toes,” Kent said. “I’m basically a 2-dimensional person and she is very much a 3-dimensional person.” Michele has created a lot of public art around the area, including in front of the Issaquah Library. She has completed pieces for spots in Japan and China as well. She admits to a fascination with China and its culture. “I actually tried to teach myself Chinese on my own when I was 8,” she said.

Both Michele and Kent are inspired by the many trips they have taken to France (where Michele was born), to Japan and to China. For the show, Kent’s photos are largely images from those trips. In fact, the wall of a secondfloor balcony in City Hall is covered with photos from Europe and China. Michele works mostly with welded steel. She said the Sammamish show provided an interesting challenge in that she had to find pieces to fit the space. The hallway inside City Hall is lined with columns on both sides. For one column, Michele created an all new piece, a flock of birds, with one small bird gliding in front and reaching the stars ahead of the others. Michele said she uses a lot of birds and wing shapes in her work, as well as nature in general. The show is designed to demonstrate how two people, who are about as close as two people can get, can have the same experience but express that experience in totally

Friends group has big plans for Lake Sammamish State Park The Issaquah Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring an Oct. 22 fundraising event for a playground at Lake Sammamish State Park, but the playground is only one of several improvements on the drawing board, said Janet Farness, executive director of the Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park. In its 2016 capital improvement budget, the state Legislature supplied $750,000 for a new playground at the park. The Friends group needs to supply $250,000 in matching funds in order for the project to go forward. “We are trying to be out in the public as much as we can,” Farness said. “I know they are out

there promoting it,” said Kathy McCorry, executive director of the Issaquah chamber, who added the chamber doesn’t normally use its Meet and Greet events for fundraising.
McCorry said several factors convinced the chamber to break with tradition, including the fact that Issaquah annexed Lake Sammamish State Park earlier this year, though the park still is a state park. Both she and Farness mentioned the Friends group has found an anonymous donor willing to match up to $50,000 raised by the end of 2015. Oct. 22 may prove to be a busy day for Farness, who added she would meet with state officials that day. She said she is certain the funds will be raised in time to get the playground built next year. “This will be a handson project for the public,” Farness said, adding the community will be asked to assemble the

But no such magic exists. Instead, for years I’ve worked for strong environmental regulations that help preserve land from development.

Hornish now opposes the Sahalee Way project. I’m all in to rebuild it and work with regional partners to improve the commute all the way to SR520.

various components of the playground. Another future project is rebuilding Sunset Beach. Initial plans released almost a year ago call for replacing the sand in the center of the beach while returning areas at the north and south ends to a natural state. The state funded floating boat docks that should be put in place in 2017. Farness also talked about hiring lifeguards for Sunset Beach and finding someone to run the concession stand in the new bathhouse facility that opened this summer. The Friends
are partnering with the Snoqualmie Tribe to create interpretative signing for the park’s native plants. The signs will be created in different languages. That still is probably not the end of the Friends’ vision for the park. Farness plans a strategic retreat for the group in the next few weeks, the idea being to brainstorm other improvements and projects. Farness said that there is a lot of interest in the park hosting some further regional sporting events similar to the volleyball tournament held
this summer. “It was a great road test of the park,” Farness said. The chamber Meet and Greet is 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the new Sunset Beach bathhouse. The chamber is asking attendees to consider making a minimum donation of $50. McCorry said drawings of the playground would be on display. A state Discover Pass is needed for entry into all state and county parks. The chamber sells the passes at its Visitor Information Center. They are also available at the Issaquah REI store.

Tasha Kirby (left) with Beaver Lake Middle School Principal Stacy Cho (right) hold the $1,000 donation from Symetra for classroom supplies after Kirby was named a Symetra Hero in the Classroom.
Beaver Lake Middle School teacher honored as Symetra Hero in the Classroom Symetra and the Seattle Seahawks honored Beaver Lake Middle School earth science teacher Tasha Kirby as a Symetra Hero in the Classroom on Sept. 30, during a surprise school assembly. “I am the parent of a second grader in Challenger Elementary, which is one of the feeder schools to Beaver Lake Middle School, where Tasha Kirby teaches,” Jayashree Krishnamurthy
said in a nomination. “Mrs. Kirby is very dedicated about spreading science awareness and was instrumental in helping me bring a science program called Destination Imagination to Challenger. The program was being conducted in the other feeder elementary schools. “Mrs. Kirby and her husband came to Challenger one evening after her Beaver Lake Middle School work day ended, and she gave a presentation to Challenger parents about the Destination Imagination program. We now have six DI teams at Challenger, and it is
all due to Mrs. Kirby’s efforts. I am impressed by her dedication and commitment to spreading the joy of science to students everywhere.” Kirby is one of 16 K-12 teachers across the Puget Sound area that will be honored for educational excellence in the Symetra Heroes in the Classroom program during the 2015 NFL season. Teachers are recognized in front of their students and peers at surprise in-school presentations, and they receive a $1,000 donation for classroom books and supplies. In addition, they receive tickets to a Seahawks home game and are acknowledged during an on-field presentation at CenturyLink Field. Kirby will be recognized at the Oct. 5 game, when the Seahawks take on the Detroit Lions. Teachers may be nominated by their principal, district staff, student or student’s parent. The winners are selected based on their ability to make a real difference in students’ lives; to go above and beyond in their day-today responsibilities; and to help students build life skills.

Lake Washington School District students scored on average 11 points higher on the SAT reading and writing tests and nine points higher on the SAT math test from the previous year, contrary to state and national trends. State and national average scores fell in all three areas. LWSD students continue to score well above state and national averages on all three tests. “I am proud of Lake
Washington students, and it is exciting to see the hard work of students and teachers paying off,” Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce said in a news release. After a steady decline over the past three years, the total number of SAT test-takers in the district increased by 28 students this year to 1,135 students. That is up from a four-year low of 1,107 the previous year. Average critical reading scores in LWSD rose by 11 points, from 562 to 573. Reading scores across the state of Washington fell from 510 last year to 502 this year. Nationally, read-

State math scores fell this year by eight points, from 518 last year to 510 this year. National scores also saw a slight decrease from 513 last year to 511 this year. LWSD writing scores rose this year by 11 points, from 555 last year to 566. Washington state scores fell in this category by seven points, from 491 last year to 484. Nationally, writing scores fell by three points, from 487 last year to 484.

Sisters raise thousands to support autistic brother, others By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Volunteerism is a natural thing to Taylor and Maddie Gemmet, something they were doing long before moving from California to Sammamish two years ago. The Gemmet sisters, who are students at Skyline High School, decided last year to get involved with the Puget Sound region’s Walk Now for Autism Speaks. The walk is an annual event at Seattle Center to raise money for Autism Speaks, a worldwide organization that supports research, treatment and prevention of autism spectrum disorders. Their connection to the cause is personal: Their 6-year-old brother, Ryan, is a high-functioning autistic. The family moved into the Issaquah School District because Ryan wasn’t getting the help he needed through his school in California, Taylor Gemmet said. After two years of attending a full-day, special-education preschool and receiving about eight

Ryan Gemmet, 6, a kindergartener at Endeavour Elementary School, is all smiles while enjoying the attractions and sunshine at the Sept. 26 Walk Now for Autism Speaks at Seattle Center. Gemmet is considered a high-functioning autistic, and his symptoms have improved since coming to Issaquah schools two years ago. hours of private speech therapy each week, there’s a night-and-day difference in Ryan, his sisters said. “Through all of his progress in the last two years, he’s actually able to transition into full-time, regular kindergarten,” Taylor said. “He doesn’t have to go to special-ed class anymore, but that’s crazy compared
to when we moved up, he could only say a few words, and now he just talks in full paragraphs.” Taylor and Maddie formed “Team Ryan” for last year’s Walk Now for Autism Speaks. With nine team members, they brought in about $2,500. “We wanted a bigger team to show more support
and raise more money,” Maddie said of their planning efforts for the 2015 event. About 20 of their Skyline classmates joined the team ahead of the Sept. 26 walk, and the group collected more than $6,000, placing them in the top five among dozens of teams in the region.
The one-mile walk was a celebration of everyone’s efforts, and Ryan was one of many autistic people to participate. “Maddie and I really just wanted to take over the team,” Taylor said. “We knew what we needed to do, and our parents were a huge support in everything that we were doing. “We love our brother so much. He hasn’t hit the annoying little-brother stage yet. He’s still in the cute, adorable little-brother stage.” Ryan, a kindergartener at Endeavour Elementary School, has improved greatly since coming to Issaquah schools. As a high-functioning autistic, he’s more independent than someone with severe symptoms who might, for example, be unable to speak or interact socially. Ryan wasn’t without his difficulties a few years ago, his sisters said. “We couldn’t even go to a restaurant without the noise and the environment being way too overwhelming,” Taylor explained, “and one of us would honestly be outside with him
where it was a lot more calm. “People who aren’t as high-functioning, they can’t handle every-day situations. A busy elevator, a restaurant, may not seem like anything major to us, but to them, it completely blows their senses.” Ryan is now a normal, rambunctious 6-year-old in most ways. He loves video games and often wears Super Mario Brothers clothing. He plays sports like soccer, basketball and baseball, and enjoys jumping on trampolines. “He loves to just be outside; he loves to be active,” Maddie said. “He doesn’t like to be cooped up in the house. He’s running all over the place.” While signups for next year’s Walk Now for Autism Speaks won’t take place until the spring of 2016, anyone interested in joining Team Ryan or forming their own team can learn more at www.walknowforautismspeaks.org. “We’re going to try to beat $6,000 (next) year,” Maddie said. “We’re really just trying to raise awareness in people.”

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Eastside Catholic beats O’Dea for 7-0 start By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com
By Greg Farrar
O’Dea High School sophomore running back Connor Gregoire is knocked off his feet in the second quarter and plowed backward for a one-yard loss by Eastside Catholic defenders (from left) Jonathon Webster, Victor Guevara, Ricky Medeiros, Chris Lefau and Brandon Wellington.
The O’Dea Fighting Irish had to have been feeling good about their first-half effort against the undefeated Eastside Catholic Crusaders in an Oct. 16 Metro League football game. O’Dea had just scored on Connor Gregoire’s 3-yard run, narrowing Eastside Catholic’s lead to 21-14, and the Crusaders were 75 yards from the end zone with 29 seconds left in the first half. The situation didn’t faze the state’s top-ranked Class 3A team, who moved the ball to the O’Dea 40-yard line with 2 seconds left. That set up a Hail Mary opportunity for quarterback Harley Kirsch. Kirsch launched the ball to the end zone, and senior wide receiver Matt Laris used his 6-foot-4 frame to snatch the ball away from two defenders, giving the Crusaders a two-touchdown lead at half-
time. Their defense dominated from there, and they walked away with a 42-14 victory on their home field, improving to 7-0 overall, 4-0 in league. “We’ve never done anything like that,” Laris said of the Hail Mary. “He was about to get sacked. He just turned and threw it to me. We’ve talked about that before. I say, ‘Harley, if you’re ever in trouble, just throw it up. I’ll make a play for you.’” Laris, who has orally committed to play for California, led the way by catching seven passes for 191 yards and two scores. The Crusaders have a bye this week and will play a yet-to-be determined opponent in the league’s Oct. 30 championship game. The final score wasn’t indicative of the game’s hard-fought nature. O’Dea (5-2, 2-2) controlled the ball for a large chunk See FOOTBALL, Page 15
Skyline volleyball storms Inglemoor By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com
By Greg Farrar
Brooke Manson, Eastlake High School cross country runner, gets an arm of support and a smile from teammate Pia Richards as they walk in the finish chute after their Class 4A KingCo Conference meet against Mount Si and Bothell on Oct. 14 at Beaver Lake Park. Richards won in 18 minutes, 30 seconds, and Manson was fifth in 19:40.
Eastlake cross country has some blazing times By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com With the Class 4A state championships less than three weeks away, the Eastlake High School cross country teams look to be among the contenders for a top-10 finish thanks to a couple standout individuals. As of Oct. 16, senior Nathan Pixler had the secondfastest time among 4A boys, finishing in 15 minutes, 11 seconds at the Twilight Invitational in Marysville. At the same event, junior Pia Richards completed the 5,000meter course in 18:15, the sixth-best mark among 4A girls. Both runners have stamped themselves as favorites to win individual medals for top-16 times at the state meet, Nov. 7 at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course. But they’re hoping to bring their teammates along for the ride, too. See RUNNERS, Page 15
With seven wins in their first 10 matches, including a 3-1 mark in Class 4A KingCo Conference volleyball, the Skyline Spartans certainly aren’t playing poorly. But fifth-year head coach Callie Wesson believes her team can be more efficient. The Spartans have been playing a lot of extended points, costing themselves energy they might need in four- and fiveset matches. “It’s one of those work smarter, not harder type of things,” Wesson said. “We’ve noticed the last couple games that we’re just taking swing after swing with no payoff.” Skyline didn’t waste its chances in an Oct. 14 conference match with the visiting Inglemoor Vikings, dominating from start to finish for a three-set victory (25-10, 25-17, 25-20). It was a payback victory of sorts for the Spartans, who lost in four sets to the Vikings in their final nonconference match Sept. 28. “We were really nervous because last time we lost to them,” said setter Sydney Dismore, who served four aces and dealt a team-high 15 assists. “But I feel like our crowd helped a lot, and we were just flowing and playing pretty good.” Inglemoor (7-3, 2-2) had trouble both offensively and defensively, and although the Vikings improved steadily throughout the match, they dug themselves in a deep hole. It started in the first set as Skyline outside hitters Grace Stephens and Jacalyn Pell recorded

“We were really nervous because last time we lost to (Inglemoor).” — Sydney Dismore Skyline volleyball player some early kills, and the Spartans won seven straight points to build a 21-6 lead. Pell, who finished with seven kills, five aces and 10 digs, served
the Spartans to a 5-1 lead in the second set. Inglemoor rallied to draw within 21-17 before Kate Richardson slammed down two late kills for Skyline. Richardson, the team’s only senior, had six of her team-high 11 kills in the third set. Inglemoor’s Haley Harris scored to narrow Skyline’s lead to 21-20, but the Spartans closed out the match with four straight points, including two See VOLLEYBALL, Page 15

barreling in from the 3. The Irish didn’t score again. They punted twice in the third quarter and turned the ball over on downs with 10 minutes to play. By that time, the Crusaders had salted away the result on an 8-yard TD pass from Kirsch to Hunter Bryant, and a 32-yard TD run from Tyler Folkes. Kirsch, a Cornell commit, was 9 of 10 passing for 209 yards and no intercep-
tions. But EC’s running game made it easier for him, picking up 216 yards. Wellington gained 111 yards on only seven carries. “We’ll hit you at all different speeds, all different paces, all different powers,” Wellington said of the ground attack. The defense doesn’t know where to adjust … and if they do come up for the run, we’re going to throw it deep for a touchdown.”
some notable improvements in his final crosscountry season. He and teammate Nate Pendleton ran side-by-side in the KingCo finale and overcame the pace setter, Mount Si’s Joe Waskom, in the last mile. Pixler won in 16:07 and Pendleton was second in 16:08. “This was my last dual meet on our home course, so that was really fun,” Pixler said. “It was a little bit more relaxed effort. We want to make sure that we’re not too worn out before we go into the
championship season.” Pendleton, a sophomore, has the sixth-best time among KingCo runners, and has firmly established himself among the Wolves’ varsity seven. Two of their regulars, Adamson Bryant and Cade Falkner, didn’t run, but are expected to return in time to help state-qualification efforts. Pendleton said he’s cognizant of his physical limits while also playing select soccer this fall. “I just feel I need to stay healthy, because right now I’m playing two sports, so
I have to balance that so I don’t overdo my body and go all out,” he said. The girls’ race at Beaver Lake Park figured to be a battle between Richards and Mount Si junior Hannah Waskom, who have KingCo’s No. 1 and No. 4 times, respectively. Richards and Waskom broke away from the pack early and stayed next to each for the first half of the race, but Richards separated late and won in 18:30, 8 seconds ahead of Waskom. “The goal was to stay with her,” Richards said.
“I know she’s a really good athlete and she’s up there with me, so it was just a nice person to have push (me) along the way.” Richards is on pace to top her 14th-place finish at last year’s state meet. She credits her work with teammate Brooke Manson — the two shared an exhausted embrace at the finish line after Manson finished fifth (19:40). “She’s always the one who pushes me during workouts, this little sprinter over here,” Richards said. “Any fast,
speed workouts, she’s always right there with me, pushing me on.” Manson is also an 800 specialist, having earned the fourth-place medal at state as a freshman. She’s running cross country for the first time and appears to have adjusted quickly, breaking into the KingCo top 10. “I think I have a lot of room (to improve) because I’m just so new to doing cross country … so I’m trying to get a better time each time, and Pia has helped me a lot with that,” Manson said.

going after each other for some dig records that we have here … and it’s cool kind of keeping it in the family,” Wesson remarked. With two matches remaining – including the Oct. 28 home finale against Bothell – the Spartans want
to keep cultivating their 10 sophomores, who will have to perform well if the program is to reach the state tournament for a fifth straight year. “Playing with 10 sophomores is definitely interesting,” Wesson said
