Girl Scouts learn some lessons about local government By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com
Sammamish Planning Commission member Cynthia Krass thought it highly appropriate that her audience of about 50 Girl Scouts could potentially earn a badge dubbed “Finding Common Ground.” They would earn that badge partially by attending a Local Government Night put on Nov. 13 at Sammamish City Hall by Krass and City Councilman Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo. Ranging in age from fifthgraders to high school students, the Scouts and their parents came from Sammamish, Issaquah and other Eastside cities. Krass told the gathering that one big issue facing the city is how many trees officials want to allow developers to remove in the course of new construction. The key, she said, is finding that sometimeselusive common ground, in this case a number that protects the environment, but also recognizes property owners’ rights to develop their land. She declined to guess what the right number might be. To help the Scouts learn about their local government, Valderrama-Aramayo and Krass spent about an hour outlining not only the tree question, but also several other well-publicized issues facing the city. Those included the possible annexation of the Klahanie neighborhood and how to deal with homelessness. Representing the grassroots group Citizens for Sammamish, local activist Harry Shedd talked about his group’s push to bring referendum and initiative rights to the city. Krass and ValderramaAramayo’s message about working together to solve problems apparently wasn’t lost on at least a few of the Scouts. Scout Amber Lee said she liked the idea that some government committees and groups work together to figure things out. She added she attended the proSee SCOUTS, Page 2

Courage, strength define Fight the Fear event By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com
Issaquah High School junior Aanya Nigam is done being silent. She’s done feeling fear, embarrassment and shame for a past incident that doesn’t deserve it, and she’s intent on speaking up, so others know they don’t have to experience those emotions. That’s why, on Nov. 13, the brave teen stood in front of a packed Issaquah High School theater and recounted the night she was raped. “I’m a survivor,” she said, “and my story doesn’t end here.” Nigam’s story was just one of the few shared at an intimate evening dedicated to empowering girls through self-defense and sexual assault prevention. About 200 girls from Issaquah, Skyline and Liberty high schools filled the theater for the school district’s Fight the Fear event, organized by Issaquah High teacher Karin Walen and Maywood Middle School teacher Meggan Atkins. Atkins and Walen are known

The offender in a sexual assault isn’t usually a masked stranger, students learned; it’s most often someone the person knows. In Nigam’s case, it was her first serious boyfriend during her freshman year at a different school. A dog lover, Nigam told a story about Xavier, her black Lab mix, and the patience he exhibits when told, “No,” as his favorite treat sits in front of him. He’ll pace around the treat, she said, but he certainly won’t

She used the example to offer a poignant question. “So why does a dog, a shelter dog, have more control than my boyfriend had that night?” she asked. Another speaker, Jen Hopper, shared her experience as the survivor of a 2009 rape and stabbing attack that took the life of her partner Teresa Butz. For all that she lost that night in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood, Hopper said she gained something, too. “I gained an unwavering faith in myself, knowing myself as strong, as resilient, knowing that no matter what life threw at me, I could get through it and I could be whole again,” she said. See FIGHT, Page 2
Sammamish Police determination, video and an alert resident helped lead to the arrests of three suspects in connection with what might be 30 or more car breakins in Seattle, Redmond, Mercer Island and other areas in King County. Some of the cases go as back as far as July. Sammamish contracts for police protection with the King County Sheriff’s Office. Local sheriff’s personnel became involved in what has become a well-publicized case several months ago, Sammamish Sgt. Tony Garza said. Sammamish Detective Tracey Dodd asked for special permission to keep investigating the thefts after looking into the circumstances surrounding a possible Sammamish victim, Garza added. As they moved forward, police eventually uncovered surveillance video of the suspects using what officials believe was a credit card stolen in one of the suspect groups’ many alleged break-ins. Sammamish police decided, Garza said, to make use of a website operated by Lake Forest Park Police. The site allows officials to display pictures of unidentified suspects and invites the public to chime in if they recognize anyone.

Fight From Page 1 And that’s the message she had for the group of high school girls — “I wish for you all to know yourselves as strong, as powerful, as resilient.” Singer Brandi Carlile also made a brief appearance. It’s her Looking Out Foundation that funds the Fight the Fear Campaign mission to make selfdefense training available to as many as possible, “because the skills and confidence that it builds are a proven deterrent to violence,” the campaign’s website says. “The time for being quiet and cute is over,” Carlile said. “That was in our parents’ and grandparents’ generation. And I expect you guys to live louder than that.” About a dozen girls had the chance to show off their voices later when Atkins, Walen and Melinda Johnson, executive director of Fight the Fear, led the group in a few basic self-defense exercises. Girls’ voices filled the auditorium as they screamed, “No means no,” and “Get away from me,” while practicing their jabs on blue pads.
The techniques shown at the event represented just the tip of the iceberg, Atkins and Walen said. They’re encouraging students to enroll in the full self-defense class they will offer at Liberty and Issaquah in January and February.
Thieves From Page 1 help through the Lake Forest site, but Garza said they got their big break Oct. 30, when someone reported a suspicious van in Redmond’s Marymoor Park. While following up on the various car break-ins, Sammamish officials had asked Redmond police if they could look into break-ins in Redmond’s
SAMMAMISH REVIEW jurisdiction, Garza said, adding that Redmond officers welcomed the help. When the call came in regarding the van, Sammamish Detective Bill Albright was among those who responded. He quickly realized the van might belong to the suspects in the theft ring, according to Garza. Sammamish police executed a search warrant on the van and initially arrested four people. The fourth suspect quickly was determined to be unrelated to the alleged theft ring
and was released. Besides searching the van, Garza said police also used a warrant to search a storage unit they believe was being rented by at least one of the suspects. Police allegedly found stolen goods in both the van and the storage unit. Those arrested were Brian Fisher, 42; Kenneth Reep, 55; and Krista Ainsworth, 25. All are believed to be homeless. They face multiple charges of first- and second-degree identity theft and are likely to
face further charges as the case unfolds. Police initially filed charges in four cases, Garza said, but since have added charges relating to eight more. As of last week, the suspects were being held in the King County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail each. Earlier reports from the sheriff’s office said the suspects would break into cars, take valuables to resell, and use ATMs to withdraw cash and buy gift cards until the victims’ bank accounts were emptied.

Aanya Nigam, an Issaquah High School junior, speaks to an audience of 200 high school girls Nov. 13 during Fight the Fear, describing her feelings after she was raped. The teachers also said they hope to find a Skyline educator willing to start classes in Sammamish. “Self-defense is about empowerment,” Johnson said. “Self-defense is about feeling the power that you have, acknowledging the power you have and using the power that you have.”

gram to learn about local government and to earn her Common Ground badge. “Behind the Ballot” and “Public Policy” were the names of two other badges Scouts could get help earning by attending Thursday’s event. After the basic discussions, the Scouts were broken up into groups to discuss some of the issues raised. One question was how many homes should be allowed per acre in Sammamish. Scout Grace VanGorder, 10, quickly decided one for every two acres. According to Valderrama-Aramayo, the city is looking at actually increasing the number of homes per acre. Modern technology might allow greater density, he said. For example, officials are looking to approve a pilot project using a new drainage system that would allow increased density.

Sammamish Planning Commissioner Cynthia Krass talks with Girl Scouts and their parents about some of the issues facing the city. Krass was one of the organizers of a Local Government Night held to help outline the workings of city government for Scouts. said the evening came about after a discussion he had with a Scout representative. He noted that 33 percent of the Sammamish population is younger than 18, adding that was one of the highest percentages of young residents for any municipality in the state. “Youth is a big issue for

Obituary James Edward Ennett
7/16/1954 - 11/12/2014 Jim lived a full life surrounded by loving family and friends. Anyone who knew Jim quickly learned he was clever and quick-witted. But, loyalty, kindness and relationships with others were paramount. He was a terrific husband and my “light.” He was an awesome father, uncle to many nieces and nephews, and dear friend to many. Jim is survived by his wife Maura; sons Patrick and Zachary; brother Steve; mother-in-law Daphne Dowling; and many sisters-
and brothers-in-law. Jim had numerous health challenges and was an inspiration to us all time and time again, living a full life. Now, you are a light forevermore in the heavens. Rest well, Jim; be at peace. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the humane society or to the Swedish Cancer Institute. A celebration of his life with a reception to follow will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, at Flintoft’s Funeral Home in Issaquah (392-6444). Friends are invited to view photos, get directions and share memories in the family’s online guest book at www.flintofts.com.
Local nurses recognized for quality care The Washington State Chapter of the International Association of Forensic Nurses recognized two Sammamish nurses during Forensic Nurses Week, Nov. 10-14.

The association believes health-care consumers are becoming more aware of the value of skilled caregivers, but the role of forensic nurses often goes unnoticed in victim care and criminal processes.

Sex assault education is not just for girls
Water repairmen were kind and professional
On a chilly November evening, in a room filled with more than 200 of her peers, Issaquah High School junior Aanya Nigam was the face of courage. Nigam went before an audience of her peers and told them she was a survivor of sexual assault. She is a survivor, she bravely noted, but her story doesn’t end there. There’s no counting how many people she touched, even saved, by talking about such a deeply personal moment that night. The intimate evening was dedicated to empowering girls through self-defense and sexual assault prevention. When organizers opened the two-hour presentation, they asked how many people knew someone who had been sexually assaulted. Nearly every girl in the auditorium raised her hand. Attendees learned statistics including that one out of three of them would experience sexual assault. Most rapes are planned in advance. Most come at the hands of someone the victim knows. That knowledge is frightening, but the students left that night with tools to “Fight the Fear” and understand the power of their voice when it comes to sexual assault. Organizers taught that “no” is a complete sentence, and offered simple self-defense skills and resources to get help or information. Nigam found her voice, and now she’s using it to show others they don’t have to be ashamed or scared. It’s a lesson and story that everyone in the district should hear. Girls aren’t the only ones who should be getting the message, though. One female student appropriately asked, “What about the boys’ education?” Shouldn’t young men receive education, too, so they don’t grow up to be men who hurt women, she asked. Fight the Fear Executive Director Melinda Johnson said she’s developing curriculum targeted toward young males, showing them that they don’t have to turn into “that” man. “Most young men don’t want to be like that,” she said. A recently launched national campaign geared toward men looks to fight sexual assault on college campuses. Itsonus.org offers tips to prevent sexual assault, such as “don’t be a bystander” and “talk to your friends openly about sexual assault.” End the silence, find your voice and if you need help, contact the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center at 888-998-6423 toll free or www.kcsarc.org.
Poll of the week How should the East Lake Sammamish Trail project be addressed? A) Keep the trail as wide as possible for good access B) Keep it as narrow as possible to preserve trees C) Doesn’t matter — both sides will complain regardless Vote at www.sammamishreview.com.
On Nov. 10, a tap off of our street water main broke. My 6-year-old son was very excited about all the heavy equipment wheeled in to identify and fix the trouble. We stood a safe distance away and watched them jackhammer, vacuum the dirt and rocks, and repair the problem. It was very nice of one of the men to carefully lead us over to the hole and show us the main. After another man fixed the tap, they were courteous enough to bring the broken tap to my son and show him what broke. He was also very patient when my son was quizzing him after he ran up the street to turn the main valve back on with the big key. I just wanted to say that the entire team did great work! From the moment the woman notified us that our water would be out for about three hours (it was actually more like only one hour), to the time they started to fill the hole back in, the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District people
were very professional and kind in their work, particularly when they took time out to show our son all the stuff. Thank you very much for the chance to interact with your adept team members. Kyle Enns Klahanie
Trail is becoming a road instead I wish I could do something to stop further East Lake Sammamish “trail” development. I was shocked at the impact of the most recent trail construction and the amount of trees removed. I am saddened how much the beauty of the shoreline is changed by the asphalt road it created it does not feel like a trail at all anymore. I think there should be some segment of the trail that should be left as a trail. It should not become a raceway for bicyclists. I bike and jog and yes it is nice to have a paved trail to bike away from the cars, especially if you have kids. And we have plenty of that. What we have less of is the unpaved trail.

the trail is not accessible with wheelchair I think is inaccurate as I can ride the unpaved trail with my street bike and strollers are seen all over the trail. We are trying to bring back the kokanee salmon. I would like to see the rest of the trail undisturbed as a tribute to nature. Can’t we just leave part of it open simple trail? Why does every inch have to be paved? Let the earth breathe, the joints have a healthy ground to jog on and the dogs a place where they can happily walk in the summer without getting their paws burned by hot asphalt. Please stop building the trail further. Let it be the unfinished trail as a tribute to nature, a small sanctuary in our asphalt world. Sigrid Barnickel Sammamish
Providing facilities, education affects everyone Recently, the Lake Washington School District requested volunteers from various demographics to serve on the district’s Long-Term Facilities Planning Task Force. With approximately 2,000 new students added to the district in the past three years and more growth expected, LWSD has been the fastest-growing school district in King
County for the past two school years and accommodation needs are critical. While money left over from the most recent bond (passed eight years ago) along with some money in state construction assistance is available for use, this money only provides a temporary fix for accommodating current students, and requires extensive boundary changes. At the same time, the district has been working to follow a plan to modernize all of its school buildings to meet current educational, safety and building code standards with scarce funds. Many community members are concerned about numerous portable classrooms on school campuses and the accompanying portables housing bathroom facilities required in order to meet state standards. While facility needs are critical now, the number of students projected to enter the district over the next several years could make the situation dire. Please check the district website at www.lwsd. org for updated information about this facilitiesplanning process and to sign up to be notified when new information is provided. Providing good school facilities and educational programs for the children in our community benefits and affects us all. Kerri Nielsen EHS parent

Eastlake drama has plenty of laughs planned for soap opera-based show By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com
If you go
Anyone unfamiliar with the soap opera-based play, “The Bold, the Young and the Murdered,” might be thrown off by the title. It’s not strictly a murder mystery — it’s also a comedy that pokes fun at day-time television programs. The Eastlake High School drama club has spent most of the fall learning the complex performance written by Don Zolidis. First-time director Rick Eames, who has experience as a semiprofessional actor, said he likes the play’s mix of humor and intrigue. It might best be described as a cross between the movies “Soapdish” and “Clue,” he said. “You take the soap-opera stuff and you mix in the murder-mystery part, and it’s cleverly written,” Eames said. Zolidis’ play is really two stories in one — the characters each portray another character through the onstage filming of a soap

said. Eames’ son Will has taken on the roles of Morris Nyborg and Jake Strong. The junior said the two roles are very dissimilar from each other. Jake is the “dashing, romantic soapopera hero who has all the good looks,” while Morris is meek and insecure. “He didn’t make Soap Opera Digest’s top 10 list of the hunkiest day-time stars, so he’s a little destroyed,” Will Eames said with a laugh. “But he’s also very rational in a group of people that are very irrational.” Senior Lucas Batey said he has been having fun in the stereotypical, narcissistic role of soap star Tyler Tripodo. The character has proven challenging because Batey has been forced to go deeper than simply reacting to other characters. “With Tyler, you almost have to go another level and you have to ask, ‘How is he reacting to them not reacting to him?’” Batey explained. “… It makes you have to remember that you’re rooted in yourself a lot, and that everything comes back to you in a much bigger way.” By Neil Pierson By the end of “The Eastlake High School drama students Will Eames, left, and Chandler Gerdes rehearse Bold, the Young and the a scene from the school’s performance of “The Bold, the Young and the Murdered,” Murdered,” the audience which runs from Nov. 20-22. could have aching sides ing, she added. from all the laughter, and his soapy alter-ego Valencio “This show is probably the fun- DiCarpathio, said the play is very they’ll also discover who has been niest show I have ever been in killing off the fictional director over the top in its humor, and — it’s hilarious,” Newman-Taylor and cast members. “every character has a moment said. “For the first three weeks of The Eastlake actors said the where you just need to stop and rehearsals, we play contains something attraclaugh at what they just said.” could not get tive for every age group.

POLICE BLOTTER Taking a nap Police were dispatched to a condominium complex in the 400 block of 241st Lane Southeast to deal with a trespassing case Nov. 3. A man was found sleeping in the hot tub area. The man, who is homeless, has been warned several times about trespassing. Police found him sleeping on chairs, covered by a blanket and surrounded by several bottles of alcohol. All had been opened and partially consumed. Police told the man he is not welcome at the facility, whether or not a resident invited him. He signed a trespass warning letter and left the property.
A woman contacted police Nov. 4 to report a case of fraud. She said she received a package from a cell phone company in September. The package contained a new Apple iPhone, but the woman is not a customer and didn’t order the phone. She contacted the company and her bank, and learned an unknown suspect ordered the phone using her credit card. The company requested the woman file a police report so the phone could be returned.
Attempted burglary
Burglar takes safe
Police were dispatched to a home in the 24300 block of East Main Drive after a report of an attempted burglary Nov. 5. Officers found the home’s rear sliding door had been smashed. A K9 unit went to the scene, and police searched the nearby area after finding footprints in the wet, muddy grass. Officers believe the suspect was unable to enter the home, and was likely scared off by an audible alarm. The suspect likely fled by scaling a 6-foot fence. Photographs were taken of the footprints, but police were unable to find any fingerprints.
Police were called to a home in the 21500 block of Southeast 30th Place for a burglary Nov. 5. Officers arrived to find the resident waiting in her driveway. She told police the burglary occurred during a two-hour period when she wasn’t home. There was a baseball-sized hole in the glass next to the front door, and the suspect had rifled through several drawers and flipped over a mattress. There were also drag marks on the floor, which were determined to be from a small safe that was kept in the master bedroom. The safe, valued at $300, contained two passports. Police were able to collect fingerprints from the inside of the front door.
Window smashed Police were dispatched to a home in the 2100 block of 242nd Place Northeast Nov. 4 after a report of an attempted burglary. The homeowner told police she was cleaning a room upstairs when she heard the sound of glass shattering. She went downstairs and found the glass next to the front door had a baseball-sized hole in it. She locked up and went to a neighbor’s home before calling 911. Nothing was taken, and the resident doesn’t believe anyone entered her home.

Possible child abuse? Child Protective Services advised police Nov. 7 they were conducting an interview with a student at a Sammamish school because of a reported child abuse case. The student’s counselor reported the potential abuse. The student told a CPS worker that she is slapped and beaten at home when she misbehaves. An officer didn’t see any visible marks on the child’s face
or neck, and the child didn’t report being in pain. The counselor reported it’s possible the student isn’t always telling the truth.
Impaired driver A civilian driving along 228th Avenue Northeast near Northeast Eighth Street called 911 at about 11:15 p.m. Nov. 7 to report a reckless and possibly drunken driver in the area. The reporting party said the other vehicle was driving erratically, weaving back and forth across the center line and the fog line. A patrol officer caught up with the suspicious vehicle a few minutes later, and conducted a traffic stop. He smelled marijuana coming from the inside of the vehicle. Both the driver and a passenger admitted to smoking marijuana two hours earlier. The driver failed field sobriety tests, and was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.
Drunken driving A patrol officer on duty at about 2 a.m. Nov. 9 stopped a vehicle on Southeast IssaquahPine Lake Road for traveling at 55 mph in a 40 mph zone. The officer said the

Eastlake divers go 1-2 at state By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com
By Greg Farrar
Eastlake High School senior diver Kaela Call performs her final dive, a forward somersault with two twists during the finals of the Class 4A state 1-meter diving championships Nov. 15. Call’s total of 425.90 points was good enough to win first place, less than a point ahead of Eastlake teammate Christina Torrente.
Eastlake High School diver Kaela Call knew she had ground to make up if she wanted to win the state’s 1-meter diving competition. The Brigham Young University-bound senior entered the final day of the 4A state swim meet in third place with 288.90 points. Ahead of her stood teammate and friend Christina Torrente with a first place score of 300.40. But by the end of the finals, it was Call’s name in the top spot, edging her teammate by less than one point to take the state title. “I was honestly shocked when I saw my name at the top because I thought Christina was going to win for sure,” Call said. It was an all-Eastlake top two with Call (425.90
“I was honestly shocked when I saw my name at the top because I thought (teammate) Christina (Torrente) was going to win for sure.” — Kaela Call Eastlake senior diver points) and Torrente (424.95 points). A tie would be about the only other thing that could top that outcome, Torrente said. There were no signs of hard feelings after the meet, as both girls celebrated the end of their high-school diving careers. Call and Torrente called the 1-2 result a “perfect way to finish the season.” The divers are also teammates on a club
Skyline volleyball comes up shy of state trophy By Neil Pierson npierson @sammamishreview.com
There was an abundance of motivation for the Skyline Spartans to win a trophy at the Class 4A state volleyball tournament for the third time in four seasons. The incentives were there for the Spartans and their nine seniors, but the opposition proved too challenging as Skyline finished the Nov. 14-15 event in Lacey with a 1-2 record. The second loss, a 3-1 setback to Central Valley, kept Skyline from coming home with any hardware. Still, it was a solid season for the Spartans, who finished with an 18-3 record and won the KingCo Conference regular-season and tournament titles. The team wasn’t without its bright spots at state. It fought off a talented and determined West Valley (Yakima) squad in a latenight elimination match Nov. 14 at Timberline High School. Skyline’s five-set victory (25-23, 22-25, 25-23, 21-25, 15-13) was a rollercoaster ride that epito-
mized its team-first mentality. Several players came through with clutch plays at pivotal moments. “We all have one last chance to be together and play together, and so that was a big part for us,” said Kathleen Bui, a senior libero. “We have nine seniors and we pulled up a couple freshmen, but it was just all about playing together for the last time.” The Spartans trailed West Valley, 22-21, in the first set but came back to win as senior Chloe Epker served an ace and freshman Carly Werner had a kill on set point. Late in the third set, with the match tied 1-1, the Rams again held a slender lead. But Epker, the team’s offensive leader all season, slammed down two kills, and freshman Jacalyn Pell added another as the Spartans took a 2-1 lead. Epker and Pell combined for four more kills in the decisive fifth set, which ended when West Valley’s Nicole Meyer served the ball into the net. However, it was the Spartans’ defensive effort
— led by Bui, the starting libero — that might have been the most valuable contribution to the match. “I think they had a strong block, and definitely a strong offense,” Pell noted, “so we had to really work on our defense to get the offense going good.” Pell was a surprise addition to the state roster. She said she’d played only one set with the varsity squad during the regular season, but was on the court in several crucial situations at state. Pell said Skyline’s nine seniors have helped her to become a better team player, and she has found enough confidence to contribute, particularly on offense. “I think just to trust my swing and to swing above the block, because I’m obviously not the tallest on the team, so I’ve got to get above it,” Pell said of her strengths. “I thought she was a great asset today,” Bui said of Pell. “She really brought it today.” Skyline struggled in the tournament’s opening match, losing 3-1 to the Olympia Bears at Saint
Martin’s University. The Bears got two clutch performances in their 25-21, 25-15, 9-25, 25-22 victory. Hannah Adams had 19 kills, 20 digs and three blocks, and Lauren Wilson added 14 kills. Epker had 15 kills, 21 digs and five aces, Bui had a team-high 29 digs, and Meghan Wedeking added 20 assists and 11 digs, but it wasn’t enough for Skyline. The Spartans didn’t dwell on the loss, and rebounded later that night against West Valley. “It wasn’t difficult because we have the motivation,” Bui said. “We have that determination, to strive to get back up.” The Spartans didn’t win a trophy, but it likely wasn’t because they were overwhelmed by the moment. “Last year when we went to state, they put me in the first game and I was not ready for all the energy that was in the gym,” Bui said. “I got so nervous and I totally freaked myself out. But coming back this year has been amazing.”
team, and both credited the other for pushing each other to improve throughout their careers. “I think that both of us diving together every single day has made us really great divers,” Torrente said. Call will dive for BYU next year, while Torrente is still deciding where she will continue her career. Call and Torrente weren’t Eastlake’s only medalists. The 200-yard medley relay team featuring freshmen Veronica Stureborg, Maya Alderman, Maggie Van Nortwick and senior Nikki Bennett took fifth with a time of 1 minute, 53.32 seconds. Van Nortwick also placed seventh in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:07.77).
Skyline Skyline High School
swimmer Kathy Lin was the clear standout for the Spartans, picking up two individual medals at the state meet. The junior took fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:05.69), after earning the top qualifying time in preliminaries the day before, and third in the 100-yard butterfly. “I think I did alright,” she said of her meet. “I definitely could’ve had a few more improvements in my times, but I’m happy with my races and I had fun racing with my team.” Lin was also a member of the two Skyline relay teams that earned medals. Chase Raines, Malia Nakamura, Darian Himes and Lin took fourth in the 200-yard medley relay (1:52.59), while Annette Guo, Emily Sur, Nakamura and Lin placed eighth in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:43.69).
Skyline soccer heads to 4A state semifinals By Kenny Ocker Special to the Seattle Times
The Olympia Bears started their state quarterfinal match perfectly. Within five minutes, they held a 1-0 lead against the Skyline Spartans, scoring on a Sophie Wood goal. That lead lasted all of three minutes before the Spartans tied the game, which held for the rest of the first half. By the time the second half started, Skyline, the four-time Class 4A girls soccer champion, took command against the host Bears, putting in an early goal and controlling the rest of the state quarterfinal match in a 2-1 win at Olympia’s Ingersoll Stadium Nov. 14. “Skyline’s a great team. When you’re in the top eight in state, everyone is good. It could have been anyone’s game,” said Olympia coach Tessa Effland, whose team finished the season 15-3-2. The Spartans (14-2-2) advanced to the state semifinals, which take place this
weekend at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup. Skyline faces the Jackson Timberwolves at 6 p.m. Nov. 21, with the winner earning a berth in the title game at 4 p.m. Nov. 22. Gig Harbor and defending champion Central Valley are the other semifinalists. The losers of the semifinal matches play at noon Nov. 22 for third and fourth places. The scoring started in the fifth minute when Olympia’s Jenna Killman took a winding run down the right flank, then crossed the ball to fellow forward Wood, who put a right-footed shot past Skyline keeper Katie Gibian. The Spartans replied in the eighth minute with a high-arcing shot by forward Lauren Carson over Bears keeper Sophie Kabel into the top left corner of the goal. After being denied by a Kabel save earlier in the second half, Skyline forward Kelli Sullivan broke free on a counterattack and scored on a header in the 55th minute.
