Proposed plans threaten historic home

BY LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com A proposed 21-home subdivision along 218th Avenue Southeast near the city’s Town Center is threatening a piece of Sammamish history.

The Eddy House, built in

1917, has been home to several members from the Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Muckleshoot and Yakima tribes. The house has been identified by King County as having historic value but has not been granted landmark status.

“We have watched many

of our historical structures go under a developer’s bulldozer,” resident Claradell Shedd said during a public hearing regarding the proposed Inglewood Landing subdivision.

She and her husband, Harry Shedd, have been working

many years to preserve the house, located at 440 218th Avenue Southeast, and other fragments of Sammamish history. Both are members of the Sammamish Heritage Society, but that day the couple was speaking at the public hearing as private citizens.

Other than the Reard-Freed house, not a single parcel or house has been preserved in the city, Shedd continued.

According to King County documents, the Reard-Freed house is the only site in SEE HOME, PAGE 2

Superintendent ready to announce change in bell-time schedule

BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@sammamishreview.com Citing the overall benefit to the health and safety of students, Superintendent Ron Thiele announced to the school community via an email letter Monday that he’s convinced the district should change its bell schedule at the beginning of the 2017-18 school year.

In the letter, Thiele gave the community a two-week comment period through Nov. 7 before he makes the final decision on the bell times proposal prior to the Thanksgiving holiday break.

“Clearly this has been a hot topic of conversation and a learning journey for me as well,” Thiele said.

After researching numerous studies, Thiele said he’s more convinced than ever about the benefits of students getting more sleep as they get older.

After an initial proposal in 2015 that would have inverted elementary and high school start times, Thiele was unable to get a consensus from the community and teaching staff on whether to make the change. The biggest concerns were too early of a start for elementary students and a too-late 4 p.m. release time that would have conflicted with both students’ and teachers’ after-school extracurricular

activities and commutes.

After hosting a “thought exchange” and taking more than 11,000 pieces of input, the administration came back last spring with a more moderate proposal that adjusted the bell times. The new proposal would move high school start times to 8 a.m. and release times to 2:52 p.m. Meanwhile, elementary start times would all be at 9:10 a.m. and release times at 3:35 p.m.

Thiele said after he received an additional 149 comments from three community meetings detailing the new proposal, he promised to revisit the issue in the fall.

Support for a change seemed to be growing.

Sammamish on a list of registered landmarks in the county, making the registry in 2011.

The city is requiring the developer of the subdivision, Quadrant Homes, to document the historic Eddy House through photos, sketches and a written history, and contribute $50,000 to relocate the house. If no acceptable new spot is found within 90 days, Quadrant will be able to demolish the house and have to contribute the $50,000 toward the city’s historic preservation activities, according to city documents.

“It’s preferred to retain the house in its present location,” Claradell Shedd said. “The alternative, much-less preferred from a historical standpoint, would be to relocate the structure to a nearby property.”

Relocating the house can decrease the possibility the building could be added to the landmark registry, she said.

Neighbors to the proposed development and the Eddy House, Diane and Brian Leavitt, are willing to take the house on their land, even willing to pay to restore

the house once it’s moved.

The couple said $50,000 is not nearly enough to move the house 500 feet onto the Leavitts’ property.

Instead, the couple estimates, after speaking with contractors and professional house movers, relocation could cost $100,000 or more.

The Leavitts said they attended the public hearing to “encourage the developer to come forward with a more meaningful number.”

During the public hearing, a representative from Quadrant called it an act of good faith that the company was contributing the $50,000.

According to Jeff Thomas, the director of community development for the city, the $50,000 number was decided

upon after a King County historic preservation officer recommended funds be provided to assist in the relocation of the Eddy House at a value up to cost of demolition.

“After receiving this recommendation, the $50,000 was negotiated between the city and the applicant as part of the SEPA threshold determination process, with Sammamish Heritage Society being involved in the discussion,” said Thomas said. “In reality, this amount should significantly exceed the cost of demolition.”

Bonnie Geers, the vice president of community development and public affairs for Quadrant Homes, said the company cares about being a good neighbor.

“Quadrant worked cooperatively with the city, and came to an agreement that Quadrant will donate $50,000 to the city which can be used to move the house to another location, or for other cultural or historical conservation,” Geers wrote in an email.

“If the house is moved, the house itself would be provided free of charge.”

Harry Shedd called the $50,000 a pittance, pointing to the milliondollar homes the developer is planning for the subdivision.

“History is going quickly in the city,” he said.

Claradell Shedd said her focus was not obtaining landmarking status for the building, but she was “just trying to preserve this piece of Sammamish.”

Maraldo, a Newcastle resident, was chosen in a month-long online election, according to a WSSDA press release. School board members from across the state participated in the voting.

“We are very fortunate to have Marnie as our next president-elect,” WSSDA Executive Director Tim Garchow said in a statement. “She has a breadth of experience, not just at the local level but on the association’s board, legislative committee, and as vice president.”

Maraldo has served on the Issaquah School Board for seven years.

The WSSDA is comprised of all 1,477 school board members in the state. The organization’s mission is to ensure members have the knowledge, tools and services they need to govern their districts and improve student learning.

CWU eyes fall classes at former Mars Hill site

Central Washington University President James L. Guadino expressed confidence that “CWU classes in Sammamish can be scheduled for the fall of

2017” in a letter to the city.

An institution of higher education would arrive in Sammamish two-anda-half years after the city purchased the vacant Mars Hill Church building and surrounding 22-acre property with the intent of using the site for a future community college satellite campus.

Guadino wrote in the letter the university could “readily accommodate Running Start classes, as well as programming leading to certificates and even advanced degrees.”

Details regarding finances and programming are still being discussed. An update is expected before Nov. 15.

The site has remained empty after the city purchased the facility in March 2015. Initially, Bellevue College, Lake Washington Technical College and Cascadia College all expressed interest in establishing a satellite campus in the city.

City Council sets retreat in Tacoma

The Sammamish City Council is going to Tacoma’s Hotel Murano for its annual retreat Jan. 19-21, 2017.

City Manager Lyman Howard said during the Oct. 18 City Council meeting that Hotel Murano was probably not anyone’s first choice, but it was the least-onerous place.

“It was a compromise in that people would not have to go over the pass, would not have to drive over a bridge, would not have to take a ferry,” Howard said.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Yesterday morning I threw out six pieces of literature from candidate Steve Litzow — glossy, glitzy, designed to portray him as the kind of guy you can trust.

When I went to the mailbox later, I found two more pieces of literature. It became obvious: If this is the way Steve Litzow wastes resources in his campaign, then I can’t trust him to handle our tax dollars any better. Let’s give Lisa Wellman a chance. She was a teacher. She has to know how to handle limited resources better than Litzow’s casual disregard for handling campaign or government money.

Ramiro Valderrama will seek practical solutions

It is a commendable thing, in my opinion, for anyone to step forward these days and put themselves “out there” to run for public office. This election cycle, Sammamish Councilmember Ramiro Valderrama has stepped up as a candidate for the 45th District, state House of Representatives.

In working with Ramiro (as one of the citizens he represents in Sammamish and also as a fellow elected), I have found him to be open, approachable, inclusive, genuine, astute, incisive and results-oriented. His collaborative approach and dedication to open governance is one of my major hurrahs. Mr. Valderrama is not one to come to the table seeking predetermined outcomes. His path to resolution in problem-solving is synergistic and holistic. He seeks outcomes that resonate with good sense and practicality.

I think our country and state need great and exceptional people to step up to office these days.

We have one here! I encourage you to nab him for office this

Vote Valderrama for responsible growth, fiscal restraint

Who we vote into office in our Washington is every bit as important as who we vote into office in that other Washington. I recommend Ramiro Valderrama for state representative. As a registered Democrat, I have always blindly voted for the Democratic nominee, but this time I have come to the conclusion that Ramiro is the best hope we have for controlled, responsible growth and fiscal responsibility.

Deputy Mayor Valderrama consistently battles for a stronger infrastructure, even when that puts him against his colleagues on the Sammamish City Council. He was the lone voice in a two-year battle on behalf of citizens to preserve the lake and tree environment on East Lake Sammamish Trail.

He also led the fight to address storm water retention and drainage issues in the Sammamish area, as well as culvert replacement and Kokanee Salmon preservation. He is actively fighting against the $54 billion ST3.

While both candidates say they want fully funded schools, Ramiro will fight for the future of our children as hard as he fights for transparency in government, a strong infrastructure for our cities and security for an increasingly endangered environment. Ramiro is the common-sense voice to help resolve issues in health, education, mental health and homelessness.

He will ensure that all have access to quality services, as he does what it takes to ensure that our corner of Washington retains its character, beauty, safety and appeal.

BAND From Page 1

“All of it?” the fifth year Eastlake music teacher asks.

“Yup.” “I love freshmen,” Moe jokes, before assuring the student more copies of the music can be printed.

The thing is, Moe doesn’t mind these minor inconveniences. It’s a lot better than the situation she walked into five years ago, when the Eastlake band program had just 45 members.

Today, participation has ballooned to 136 musicians, the Wolves boast the only marching band in the Lake Washington School District, and perhaps most importantly, the band is becoming an integral part of student life at Eastlake.

“Everyone cheers for the band now,” said Stefan Tabit, a senior drum major who vividly remembers when that wasn’t the case.

The band’s biggest, most public stage is illuminated every fall under the Friday night lights at Eastlake home football games. With regular classes and nonstop activity through the end of the game, it’s a long Friday for all involved.

And while most Eastlake students went home after school ended on the Oct. 28 gameday, band members congregated in the music wing, where the second half of their day was about to begin.

Taking the field for practice (3:30 p.m.)

Moe grabs her megaphone and trots

halfway up the empty home stands at the Eastlake High School stadium. She looks toward the field where her students, mostly clad in casual, black Eastlake band T-shirts, are lined up ready for instruction.

It’s 3:30 p.m. and the Eastlake band has the stadium for about 45 minutes, and they will need every one of them to perfect the elaborate halftime show Moe has planned for the final regular season game of the year.

“If we do it right, this is going to be really cool,” she teased.

The pirate-themed show has the band marching into different shapes and words while playing music from “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

At one point they spell out pirate; later, they

maneuver into a skull and crossbones shape.

The finale — and the part Moe’s most excited about — is a friendly jab at the team’s opponent that night, undefeated Woodinville. The band will split into groups, one forming a pirate ship with a cannon and another just below it creating a W. One of the tubawielding musicians will run out of the cannon and race toward the middle of the W, simulating a cannonball.

As the “cannonball” hits the W, the students forming it will fall to the ground.

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Moe was also particularly excited about throwing a few lunges into the choreography.

“Lunges look so cool,” she said. “I don’t know

why, but the crowd’s going to go nuts when they see it.”

Moe has the band run through it a few times, making minor corrections along the way.

During one run-through the music was a little off, and at another point it was the movement that didn’t look right.

At this point, mistakes and miscues are expected, but even before the stadium was packed, the band’s halftime show already had at least one fan in Eastlake athletic director Pat Bangasser, who was milling around as the band practiced.

“Did you hear that?

Bangasser said that was the first time the Eastlake band gave him chills,” Moe announced to her students as practice wrapped up at about 4:20 p.m.

Dinnertime with the Band Moms (4:30 p.m.)

After practice, the band files into the Eastlake commons where a buffet of pasta, salad and desserts await. The spread is courtesy of the Eastlake High School Band Booster Club, or, as Moe affectionately calls them, the Band Moms.

“They just keep me alive. They will magically appear with a coffee for me,” Moe said. “They do so much.”

This dinner is more emotional than most since it’s the last one for a senior group that has helped the band grow into what it is today.

Senior band leaders Stefan Tabit, Emily Kraynak, Kaeli Dance and Ryan Saathoff, in between forkfuls of pasta, use the time to reflect on SEE BAND, PAGE 7

the last few years.

They remember when the band was smaller, and the school community was less enthusiastic about it.

“We know the school appreciates us now,” Kraynak said.

They recall the dedication it takes to participate in marching band. It’s one thing to play music; it’s another to do it while you’re marching and moving around a field.

“You have to care about it,” Saathoff said. “There are so many details involved in marching just beyond the music.”

Dance says she’ll miss the time before a game when the different instrument sections get dressed together in

separate rooms.

“It’s a time for us to come together and pump each other up,” she said.

Kraynak and Dance can’t hold back the tears when the underclassmen surprise them with gifts at the end of dinner.

A never-ending hug exchange forms in the commons.

“Man, being a senior is going to be hard,” whispered one student as he watched the emotional scene.

Putting on the uniform (5:15 p.m.)

The Eastlake music wing is buzzing with activity at about 5 p.m. as students finish up dinner and begin changing into their band uniforms.

After getting dressed, some sit quietly in chairs, headphones inserted, looking straight ahead.

Others are playing their instruments. Today, one student is scrambling, looking for a pair of missing shoes.

By 5:25 p.m., everyone is back in the music room where drum majors Kraynak and Tabit lead them through marching drills.

Because it’s the last home game, they head to the gym for a group photo.

Entering the stadium (6 p.m.)

The band marches into the stadium an hour before kickoff.

“When the band marches in, we are the center of attention.

We are the focus of the moment,” Tabit said. “Last week, the student section started chanting my name and I really wanted to smile and wave, but you know, when you’ve

got that attention face on, you’ve got to stay focused.”

The large group is completely seated in the stands, taking up an entire section, by 6:10 p.m.

They fire the crowd up with Nirvana and more.

As the game progresses, they watch from the stands, interjecting with bursts of sound at appropriate times like an Eastlake score or a big defensive stop.

Halftime show (7:55 p.m.)

The band descends from the stands just before 8 p.m. They line the track as halftime approaches.

When they march onto the field, everyone cheers.

The student section goes wild. As the musicians maneuver into their lunges, Moe’s prediction proves right — the crowd

loves it.

The routine lasts about five minutes before the band leaves the field to make way for the cheerleaders and dance team.

“As far as I care, that was perfect,” Tabit said of the performance, before embracing fellow senior Kraynak.

The end (10 p.m.)

The game ends at 9:15 p.m. — Eastlake loses to Woodinville 21-16.

In a day that started before 6 a.m., Moe doesn’t get to go home until about 10 p.m. Gamedays are long and hectic, but certainly worth it, she said.

“The Fridays where I’m here doing this, I’m happiest,” she said.

The band’s future looks bright. A young core of about 60 freshmen caused some growing

pains this year, but it will likely pay off in the future as the band continues to increase in numbers.

Students credit Moe’s enthusiasm and strong middle school band teachers as reasons for the band’s recent turnaround. Inglewood Middle School music teacher Rebecca Markov and Evergreen Middle School teacher Eric Peterson deserve praise for getting students excited about music, Eastlake’s senior band leaders said.

Moe has done well to continue their work as students moved to the high school level, keeping musicians interested in band.

“The band has really become an important part of the atmosphere of the school,” Moe said. “As it should be.”

Prep Football Roundup

Spartans retain Coal Bucket with 34-6 win

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com Skyline built a 27-0 lead after three quarters and finished the regular season with a 34-6 victory over visiting Issaquah on Oct. 28, capturing the rivalry game’s Coal Bucket trophy for the 10th straight season.

Bradley Kim and CJ Moore scored first-half touchdowns for the Spartans (7-2 overall, 6-1 Class 4A KingCo Conference) and Isaiah Shim, who led the conference with 924 rushing yards entering the night, scored his 16th rushing TD of the season in the third quarter.

Issaquah (1-8, 1-6) got on the board midway through the fourth quarter when a Jack Hinchcliffe fumble recovery led to a short drive and points as the Eagles recovered their own fumble in the end zone.

Skyline backup quarterback Joe Green answered two minutes later, hitting Ben Mix on a TD pass to put the game out of reach.

The Spartans are the No. 2 seed from KingCo to the bi-district playoff round and will host the Mount Rainier Rams (7-2) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Skyline beats Issaquah in rivalry volleyball match

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com

GREG FARRAR | gfarrar@sammamishreview.com

Skyline sophomore Izzy Garrido (5) celebrates as the Spartans even the score by winning the second set of their Oct. 26 match against Issaquah.

There’s nothing like the intensity of a playoff game to get a team’s emotions to rise to the surface.

Wednesday’s SkylineIssaquah volleyball match wasn’t a playoff match, but it might as well have been. There were stakes beyond the usual rivalry bragging rights as the winner claimed the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the Class 4A KingCo Conference tournament.

Fans of both squads packed the Skyline gymnasium and witnessed the Spartans

and Eagles slug it out for four grueling sets. And Skyline shrugged off a loss to Eastlake two days earlier, rallying from an early deficit to win in four sets – 24-26, 25-19, 25-23, 25-23.

“I think our No. 1 challenge tonight was that there’s a lot of hype going around this game,” Skyline junior libero Becca Owen said.

“But I think we did really well as a team. We were able to control those emotions and still do our jobs on the court.”

Skyline (11-2 overall, 6-1 KingCo) earned a bye to the KingCo tournament that takes place Nov. 3-5 at

Bothell High School. The Spartans and Eagles could face each other again in the semifinals at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 3.

Third-seeded Issaquah (10-2, 5-2) plays an elimination match at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 3 against the No. 6 seed. That team has yet to be determined as Inglemoor, Newport and Woodinville tied for the final playoff berth and will break the deadlock Oct. 31 at Inglemoor.

Eagles coach Amanda Sewell indicated she’s not overly worried about preparing for the loser-out match.

Eastside Athlete of the Week

Taylor Elop makes Crusaders’ volleyball defensively sound

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com Taylor Elop is the smallest body on the court for the Eastside Catholic volleyball team, but the fourth-year varsity player fills a huge role.

The 5-foot-4 senior is a highly active libero, or defensive specialist, for the Crusaders, who enter this week’s Class 3A Metro League tournament with a 12-2 record and designs on the program’s first state title.

Elop is among the state’s leaders with 391 digs, an average of 27.9 per match. And she rarely makes errors when receiving serves,

RIVALRY From Page 10

“We always tell the girls that you go into every match with a blank slate and you take it as it comes,” Sewell said. “… If they get any preconceived notions about anything, then that becomes a mental game.”

Serving was a decisive factor between Skyline and Issaquah. The Eagles struggled with accuracy for most of the match, but overcame four service errors to win a tightly contested first set. Neither

their past 12 games. How has the team been able to be successful under firstyear coach Jen Baklenko?

Answer: The loss (to Lakeside on Oct. 11) was actually kind of a wakeup call. I think we went into the match expecting to win. But I think the wins are because we’re working together, working hard. We have a new coach who’s really good at working with us and we’re all playing our best.

Q: The Crusaders have qualified for the Class 3A state tournament in each of your first three years.

How do you go about having more success there?

A: I think the environment is a lot more pressure and so the reason we lose is, we always get into our heads in games and we kind of let down.

So the key to doing better is changing our mentality and playing how we know we can, and not getting intimidated by being at state.

team led by more than two points.

Issaquah cleaned up its errors in the middle two sets, but lost both and saw the struggles return in the fourth set. Six serves went awry, gifting the Spartans valuable points and allowing them to close with a 7-2 spurt.

“We had a couple unfortunate serving errors and made some mistakes at the wrong times in the game,” Sewell said, “and it kind of just piled up toward the end.”

Skyline was successful in several facets of the game, but the difference

maker might have been middle hitter Emmelynn Walters. The 6-foot-2 sophomore had 13 kills and two blocks, seemingly growing stronger as the match wore on.

“Blockers will be so fixated on her and trying to stop her that it gets one-on-ones for everybody else,” Skyline coach Callie Wesson said.

“Besides her just getting her massive amount of kills that she gets every game, it definitely frees up our other hitters so they can be just as successful.”

The Spartans are

running more short-set plays through Walters, who formerly played the quicker tempo in southern California.

“Our setters and Emmy have been working really hard to get that system down and hold our blockers as much as possible,” said Owen, who led all players with 25 digs.

“She has really added a lot of intensity to our team.”

Grace Stephens was a two-way contributor for Skyline with 11 kills and nine digs. Owen had plenty of help on the defensive end from Izzy Garrido (11 digs), Jacalyn

Pell (10 digs) and Morgan Jones (four blocks). Pell and Sydney Dinsmore dished out 34 assists.

Issaquah’s offense ran fluently for much of the match as Sarah Baker collected 40 assists, finding Liz Gorski for 19 kills and Annika Melgard for 17.

“We realized early on that our middles were shut down from their block, because they had a pretty solid block,” Sewell said. “And so were trying to get the ball out to Annika and Liz, to let them kind of pull the block out, and then we

Q: Have you always played libero or back row?

A: I was kind of tall when I was 12, so I was a hitter, but once everyone else started growing, I’ve always been a libero.

Q: What is the key for you to stay sharp and be the defensive leader the team needs?

A: I guess I just see the ball and know I have to dig it. I’ve got to get a good touch on it and that’s all I’m really thinking about.

Q: What do you like to do when you’re not playing volleyball?

Claire Kaill had five kills and 13 digs for Issaquah, and Claire Siefkes added 17 digs.

Wesson said she always expects a tough match from the Eagles and it helped the Spartans to have a boisterous crowd that spurred them on.

“We’ve never had so many fans, I think, in all the years I’ve been here,” she said. “It was insane.

It was really awesome.

I think they definitely brought some enthusiasm and some motivation to the girls.”

Barnett is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and is also a parent in the Issaquah School District. “I think people are feeling like this proposal is a pretty good compromise and that it’s not going to cut into afterschool activities as much.”

The new proposal seemed to sit better with teachers, as well.

“I’ve had zero members’ feedback to me,” said Doug Jones, Issaquah Education Association president. “It sounds like this compromise didn’t stir the pot like the initial proposal. Obviously, there hasn’t been the anxiety there was last time.”

Jones said because the announcement was just released, he’s likely to hear more from his constituents as the week goes on.

Thiele said the amount

of teacher input since has been miniscule.

He pointed to the fact they’d still get out of class and get to after-school activities or on the road to their commute by 3 p.m.

Thiele admitted one of the problems the new proposal still presents is bus transportation.

He estimates a change to the three-tier system would cost $600,000.

Currently, the school district has one tier for high school and middle school students and the other two for elementary school routes. The proposal collapses the second and third tiers into one, requiring a ramp-up of the number of buses and drivers needing to make that happen.

Thiele said the transportation department has solved the bus issue by retaining eight buses in its fleet rather than designating them as surplus.

“So really, the number of drivers remains our
