Police revamp patrols ahead of Klahanie annexation

In anticipation of the Klahanie area annexation, police are ready to split Sammamish, including the Klahanie area, into three patrol districts, Police Chief Nate Elledge said Nov. 12. Elledge was speaking to members of the Klahanie Transition Committee named by the city. If the group disbands when the annexation becomes official Jan. 1, the transition committee has just one remaining meeting in December. Members indicated they are excited and anxious for the annexation, approved in a public vote earlier this year, to become official.
“The expectation is high,” said Lorrie Schleg, transition committee chair. As previously announced, Sammamish is adding four patrol officers and one sergeant to its police force in order to provide police coverage to the annexation area. Officers will each be assigned one of the three new patrol districts, Elledge said. According to a map supplied by Elledge, the three patrol areas split the city geographically. One district covers the most northern area of the city, another covers roughly the middle of the city and the third spans the southeastern portion of Sammamish. See KLAHANIE, Page 2
City in good financial shape, mid-term budget report states By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Overall, the city of Sammamish appears to be in sound financial shape, according to a budget update presented Nov. 10 to the City Council. To some extent, council was presented with two budget options. One included the Klahanie annexation area, which officially becomes part of Sammamish on Jan. 1. The other report focused on the

The Skyline High School girls swimming and diving team shrieks in joy for the 400-yard freestyle relay team which came from behind to win the last race of the evening and give the Spartans the 293 points they needed for the Class 4A state championship, Nov. 14 at the King County Aquatic Center. It was the first team title for the program since it won three straight from 2009-11. For more on Skyline’s individual performances, see page 9.

remainder of the city. For 2015, the city originally budgeted total expenditures of $92 million, according to figures supplied by the city. By May, that figure had increased to $109 million. The difference is offset by a larger-than expected beginning fund balance of $78 million. Revenues also increased over what was predicted, moving from $72 million to $78 million. See BUDGET, Page 2

Budget From Page 1 For 2016, the beginning fund balance was estimated at $45.8 million, with expenditures of $66.6 million and revenues of $55 million. But that budget was prepared prior to the public vote that approved the annexation of the Klahanie area. With money from Klahanie budgeted in, the city starts with $47 million. Expenditures jump to $79 million, but revenues also increase to $63.6 million. The city would end 2016 with a balance of $31.6 million. City staff is predict-

tion to the patrol officers, the city also will have at least one full-time traffic enforcement car roaming all of Sammamish, including the Klahanie area. There is one item Elledge said he hopes persons in the annexation area take note of, especially with the coming New Year’s Eve celebration. The annexation area currently is under King County jurisdiction. Fireworks are legal, but they are not legal in
Sammamish. Elledge said he expects officers will begin enforcing that rule at midnight Dec. 31. He also said he encourages officers to give warnings to first-time offenders instead of handing out tickets and fines. Besides policing, property taxes were another subject of discussion Nov. 12. Under county rules, Klahanie area homeowners were paying property taxes of $3.25 per $1,000 of property valuation,
said Chris Gianni, the city’s deputy finance director. Property owners paid $2.05 per $1,000 of property valuation to Sammamish in 2014. Although there was some confusion on this topic earlier in the year, the lower property taxes will take effect in 2016. Besides adding police, the city has or will take several other steps prior to the annexation, said Tim Larson, the city’s communications man-
ing Sammamish will take in about $3.7 million in property tax revenue from the Klahanie area, said Joe Guinasso, assistant city manager and finance director. He noted that amount is about $100,000 more than previously predicted. In total, the annexation area will contribute about $6.6 million to Sammamish coffers in 2016, including about $4.6 million to the city’s general fund. Those figures include revenue sources such as liquor taxes. On the expenditure side, Guinasso said Sammamish will spend $4.7 million out of the general fund in the Klahanie area next year. Policing costs will eat up a
sizable chunk of that, with $1.2 million going toward beefing up the city’s police force, including salaries and other costs related to bringing on five new patrol officers and one sergeant. Sammamish contracts with the King County Sheriff’s Office for its policing services. The total cost was given as $6.4 million, including the money to be spent on policing the annexation area. Roadwork will eat up another large portion of the revenue coming from Klahanie. Design work alone was put at $1.2 million for the rebuilding of Issaquah-Fall City Road. The council was introduced to an adjusted budget on Nov. 14. That will
include $1.1 million in general-fund adjustments, plus an additional $4.5 million channeled into work on Southeast Fourth Street, for a total adjustment of $5.6 million. City Manager Ben Yazici said the city was getting “great results” from its financial planning. Guinasso noted 2016 will mark the seventh year the city has passed on the 1 percent property tax increase state law allows cities to take without a vote of the people. He said the property tax rate is set at $1.97 per $1,000 in valuation. Complete budget figures are available on the city’s website at www. sammamish.us.

In terms of funding improvements to the schools, the task force recommended a long-term strategy of urging state lawmakers to remove sales tax from school construction projects, and an updating of what the task force called Washington’s outdated construction funding model for schools. They also suggested seeking private donations

Letters to the Editor
Random thoughts from the cold, wet football field
Funding for Planned Parenthood should be questioned
I was invited to watch a local youth championship football game Saturday night. These are some of the random thoughts I had while shivering in the 40-degree, misting rain while my second cousin-inlaw’s team was getting blown out. Despite the cold weather locally, my numbed brain was actually giving weight to the global-warming myth by the evidence of 80-degree weather east of the Rockies last week. True believers would actually have you and me believe that global warming is currently the single biggest threat to mankind. Then the true biggest threat, Islamic David extremist terrorists, reared their ugly Hayes heads in Paris on Friday and reminded us where our leaders’ priorities truly need to be. These barbarians are killing innocents today but global-warming fanatics want us to worry about what will happen 20 years from now if we don’t build more windmills? And speaking of those Paris attacks, one of the venues targeted was the Stade de France where Germany was playing the home country in a friendly match of soccer, a match most likely targeted because French President François Hollande was actually in attendance. But an astute security guard at the entrance performing a routine pat-down discovered one of the terrorists’ suicide vests. The bomber, rather than running away, just stepped back and detonated his bomb there. While tragic, the security guard saved hundreds of lives inside the stadium while executing his routine duties. Back home, my wife and I were late to the football game and entered through an unmanned side gate. The stadium, which had several hundred fans on both sides of the field, was a ripe target for any local terror cells. Yet a day after the Paris attacks, nobody could foot the bill for even a token security guard checking bags in a public venue during this time of heightened security threats? This complacency, even if it is only at a youth football match, is what builds the confidence of the terrorists into believing their warped plans have a chance of working in the first place. Random thought No. 3 was from an incident on the field of play itself. The son of a coach badly injured his leg. But because this championship game involved youth teams, there were no paramedics standing by in case of emergency. This kid was carried off the field and laid on the trainer’s table. A blown-out knee may seem small compared to the eight or more young men who have actually died this year from their on-field injuries. But in my addled See HAYES, Page 5
The reason some legislators are pushing legislation to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood is because it appears the organization has been involved in illegal activity. Why would the government want to fund an organization if it is involved in illegal activity? Why would someone seek medical assistance from an organization that is harvesting body parts from humans that are not yet deceased? There are many other medical facilities that can provide medical assistance to women. Why not let the government fund those facilities that are operating within the law? Barbie Bucy Sammamish
Tell your legislators to stop funding Planned Parenthood Michael J. O’Connell says “an embryo or a fetus is not medically or legally a person.” But I can’t get that picture out of my mind … the one that shows tiny, wellformed arms and legs being sorted in a dish by a Planned Parenthood employee. In the words of William Wilberforce, as he exposed the details of the horrific slave trade to the British Parliament, “We can no longer plead ignorance, we cannot evade it, it is now an

Congress needs to act on Alzheimer’s research There has been growing recognition of the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and the funding to find a cure lags dramatically behind what’s necessary, but Congress has the opportunity to act by Dec. 10. In 2010, Congress unanimously passed legislation that set a goal of finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s by 2025. But National Institutes of Health (NIH) research on dementia has not increased to the $2-billion-a-year level that scientists say is needed. The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill giving $350 million more to NIH for Alzheimer’s research, while the House Committee has voted $300 million. If even the lower figure is signed into law, that would be a 50-percent increase in research funding for this disease. The new budget law just eased strict budget caps, allowing additional priority spending this coming year. It is good news for families in Issaquah and

the 8th District that Rep. Dave Reichert has voiced his support for the increased funding. As a volunteer ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Association, myself and other advocates for Alzheimer’s research urge Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to also vote for this vital Alzheimer’s research boost and push to make sure it is in the final appropriations bill enacted into law. Without research to help delay the onset of Alzheimer’s or offer hope to reverse its effects, our nation is clearly headed for a larger and more expensive healthcare crisis that many warn the country is unprepared to fund.

Secondary students need later start times The students of the Issaquah School District would benefit immensely if secondary schools start later. It is unreasonable to ask students to come to school so early in the morning. When I was a student at Skyline High School, I saw how early start times led to sleep deprivation and a greater than usual antipathy towards learning. A recent study by Harvard University found that sleep deprivation can exacerbate mental health issues, even to the point of increasing suicidal tendencies. Even moving the start and end times by one hour can lessen sleep deprivation and have a positive effect on

While the school district may be primarily concerned about operational implications, its concerns should truly lie with the academic and emotional welfare of its students.

brain, I assigned blame for many of those deaths and this kid’s injury to the coach. In a time focused on on-field concussions, every other injury seems to still have the attitude of, “Rub some dirt on it and get back in there.” This kid was shivering and damned if he didn’t look halfway to shock lying there on the trainer’s table, waiting for what, I don’t know. If he were my kid, I’d have run out on the sideline and taken him immediately to the hospital, just as a precaution, postgame be damned. I laid that indecision squarely on the coach. How many of those other kids sustained injuries due to poor decisions by their coaches? Football is a rough sport. But it can still be a good stepping stone to building the character of tomorrow’s leaders. Coaches need to ensure they do all they can to keep the naysayers from taking away another great American tradition.

Officials consider proposals for new wastecollection contract to serve entire city By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Sammamish city officials are in the process of reviewing the proposals they received for wastecollection efforts. Sammamish City Hall is seeking some improvements to collections, including weekly recycling pickups, as opposed to the twice-a-month collections done in parts of the city now. And for the first time, the entire city will be under one waste-collection contract. The city received two responses to their request for proposals, from Republic Services
Master Chorus Eastside presents ‘A Choral Christmas Carol’ Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, “A Christmas Carol,” comes to life in
for $714,664 and from Waste Management for $540,488. On the surface, Waste Management clearly submitted the best bid, but city staffers say the devil is in the details. Waste Management materially altered the city’s request in two ways, according to an analysis provided by Beth Goldberg, the city’s director of administrative services. “Collectively, these material alterations … grossly underrepresent the value of the Waste Management bid by more than $180,000,” Goldberg wrote. The city also found a

very slight error in the math of Republic Services’ proposal. When corrected for the alleged errors, the new proposals would amount to $714,674 for Republic and $723,848 for Waste Management. At the council’s Nov. 3 regular meeting, a Waste Management official denied the company altered the city’s request for proposal and suggested the city needed to revisit the issue. Waste Management Senior Manager John Chelminiak later wrote the city a letter debating the city’s analysis, said Mayor Tom Vance. City officials are working on a response

to the Waste Management letter, said Tim Larson, the city’s communications manager, but that response had not been completely formulated as of Nov. 9. At the Nov. 3 council meeting, Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard told council members to “stay tuned” for now. He said the city would have a response and a decision within the next few meetings as to which company it feels actually has the best bid. The city is looking to redo its waste-collection contracts for several reasons. At the moment, Sammamish is operat-
ing under contracts put in place by King County prior to the city’s incorporation in 1999. Waste Management services half the city, while Republic services the other half. City officials are anxious to have one company serve the entire city, simplifying collections and ensuring uniform service and costs throughout Sammamish. State rules govern many parts of trashcollection contracts. Goldberg said the main reason why is the large ramp-up in equipment and personnel collection companies undertake before taking on a new
territory. Companies need to make large investments to service a new area, and the law requires they be given long-term contracts in order to earn back that investment. Whoever wins the new Sammamish contract will get about a year to upgrade its service capabilities in order to fulfill the next contract. At least for now, the Klahanie annexation area is not included in the new contract. The reason is a long-term pact already in place there. The city will bring Klahanie and several surrounding neighborhoods within its borders Jan. 1.

EFR is looking to gain that designation to help clarify the employment status of its staff.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Defending champ Edmonds-Woodway ends EC soccer run By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com None of the seniors on the Eastside Catholic girls soccer team had experienced the environment of a state playoff game, but that changed when the Crusaders traveled to face defending Class 3A champion Edmonds-Woodway on Nov. 10. The Crusaders knew they were going to be hardpressed to keep their season alive against an opponent with an 18-game unbeaten streak, but 40 minutes of solid defending kept the game scoreless at halftime. However, their plans for an upset quickly evaporated in the second half as the Warriors went on to claim a 3-0 victory in the first round of the state playoffs at Edmonds Stadium. Edmonds-Woodway went on to defeat Central Kitsap in the quarterfinals and has the chance to defend its title this weekend, starting with a Nov. 20 semifinal match against Seattle Prep at Puyallup’s Sparks Stadium. The Crusaders (12-7-1) were making their first state appearance since 2011, when they took third place. They put five shots on goal in the opening half but were unable to truly test Warriors goalkeeper Hannah Hicks. That represented a missed opportunity, EC coach Scott Brayton said. “I think that we didn’t capitalize on having the wind in the first half and that kind of killed us in the second half,” he said. Brooke Weedman, one of the team’s five seniors, said the Crusaders entered the match with a fearless attitude. They won two tightly-contested games to reach state, beating Roosevelt on penalty kicks and avenging two earlier defeats to Holy Names with a 1-0 victory. “We had nothing to lose,” Weedman said. “I think that we just needed to work hard, and I think that overall our team worked hard, but it wasn’t good enough.” EC goalkeeper Leah Day made a couple crucial saves in the first half, stonewalling Ellie Shull in the 14th minute after she broke free inside the box, and smothering Gabby Clark’s shot on the doorstep in the 23rd minute. The Crusaders struggled to maintain possession throughout the match, but they created a couple scoring chances from free kicks. Weedman’s long shot in the 30th minute brought Hicks off her line, but the ball skipped wide of the goal after she was unable to corral it. Edmonds-Woodway (18-1-2) had a 21-7 edge in shots and finally made good on its chances in the 45th minute. Defender Kia Mackey lined up a free kick more than 40 yards from goal, near the left sideline, and hit a well-placed cross that forced Day to hesitate. She likely anticipated a touch from an oncoming attacker, but no one got to the ball, and it skipped past the flat-footed keeper into the back of the net. The Warriors doubled their advantage in the 66th minute. Chiara Serafini’s long throw from the right sideline found Clark’s head, and she flicked the ball over Day into the far-side netting. Clark and Shull, who were E-W’s most effective attackers all night, combined for the final goal in the 76th minute. On a counterattack near midfield, Shull split two defenders with a pass, and Clark buried her left-footed drive from the top of the penalty box. Brayton moved Weedman to forward after the Crusaders fell behind, but the visitors managed only two shots in the second half. Weedman indicated her See SOCCER, Page 10

Freshmen propel Spartans swim team to state title By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com A typical Skyline swim practice sounds like a fun, loud, boisterous affair. As senior Kathy Lin described it, the Spartans’ bevy of talented freshmen brought a new spirit – and noise – to the program. “They’re the most energetic bunch ever. At swim practice, it takes so long to get them quiet,” Lin joked, “but I really think it’s that energy that fueled our team to win.” Thanks to a freshman class that looks poised to keep the Spartans at, or near, the top for years to come, Skyline picked up its first Class 4A state title since 2011 at Federal Way’s King County Aquatic Center on Nov. 14. Freshmen Sarah DiMeco, Christina Bradley and Danika Himes each picked up two individual medals.

Skyline football rides defense, Rashaad Boddie to state playoff win By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com For many of Skyline’s past teams, a superstar quarterback and a highoctane passing game were the signature pieces. This year, however, the Spartans are showing some of the state’s best teams they can win with a gritty ground attack and rock-solid defense. Skyline used the legs of Colorado State-bound senior running back Rashaad Boddie and an organized defensive effort that gave up only two touchdowns, and held on for a 17-15 victory over the visiting Gig Harbor Tides in a Class 4A state football playoff game Nov. 14. Boddie, a 6-foot, 225-pounder, pounded out 185 yards on 25 carries, including touchdown runs of 56 and 79 yards as the Spartans (10-1) advanced to the state quarterfinals. They’ll host Camas at 3 p.m. Nov. 21 for a chance to return to the Tacoma Dome for the semifinals for the first time since 2012. Skyline also handed Gig Harbor

The Spartans finished first in the 200 medley relay to kick off the day, and clinched the state title with a first-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay at the end. Lin, a senior captain earned two individual medals – third in the 100 butterfly and fifth in the 100 breaststroke. “It feels good to finish my career as a state champion,” she said. Darian Himes, also a senior, finished seventh in the 200 individual medley and was 10th overall in the 100 breaststroke. Sophomore Abby Heneghan took 15th overall in the 500 freestyle. Skyline’s 200 freestyle relay team finished fifth.
“I think the closeness between us and Newport was what really drove us and gave us all the determination to pull out on top.” — Kathy Lin Skyline senior swimmer The Spartans battled KingCo Conference rival Newport for the top spot much of the day. Skyline edged the Knights, 293-257. The Newport-Skyline battles should continue for years to come, as the Knights have their own class of talented freshmen, led by Yulia Groysman, who edged DiMeco for first place in the 200 and 500 freestyle races. “It was really intense and kind of scary,” Lin said of the battle with Newport. “But I think the closeness between us and Newport was what really drove us and gave us all the determination to pull out on top.”
Simpkins said this is the best freshman class she’s ever had, but she’s not ready to predict what the future holds for the Skyline swim team. “Anything can happen,” she said. “I just hope they stay healthy, they don’t get hurt and they keep the love of swimming going.”
Eastlake Eastlake sophomore Maggie VanNortwick picked up her school’s only medal at the state meet. VanNortwick finished eighth in the 100 breaststroke. The Wolves’ 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams swam in the consolation finals. The 200 medley team of Aimee Ellis, VanNortwick, Maya Alderman and Mindy Hsu won the race, finishing ninth overall. The 400 free relay squad was 16th overall.

Soccer From Page 9 team struggled with off-the-ball movement. “I think that if we moved a little bit more, we could’ve had more open spaces for our players,” she said, “and I think they would’ve been able to take players on.” Weedman – who is weighing some Division I scholarship offers and can sign in February – helped define EC’s season with her unselfishness. She vol-
untarily shifted from an attacking role to central defense early in the season. “I just knew that we needed someone back there that was a leader and could help step up,” she said. “Overall, I think it was a better decision for the team.” It was the final high-school game for five seniors: Weedman, Tia Beck, Meredith Troy, Dani Standish and Giuliana Sercu. Brayton said this year’s team was characterized by an unshakable spirit. “Every single game, they played as hard as they could right to the end,” he said. “No matter what the score was, they played right to the end.”

EC football cruises into quarterfinals

Eastside Catholic took control with a 21-point third quarter, pulling away from visiting Auburn Mountainview for a 42-7 win to open the Class 3A state football playoffs Nov. 13. The top-ranked Crusaders (10-0) will try to take the next step toward defending their 2014 title when they host Bonney Lake in a quarterfinal matchup, either Nov. 20 or 21. EC took a 21-7 lead to halftime thanks in part to Jonathon Webster’s interception return for a touchdown. Brandon Wellington helped them pull away in the third quarter, taking the opening kickoff back for a 98-yard score. He also had a 12-yard rushing TD and an interception return TD. The Crusaders picked off five passes from Lions quarterback Gresch Jensen, and finished with 234 yards on the ground, including 116 from Tyler Folkes.

3A volleyball: EC falls short of trophy round
In their first appearance at state in 13 seasons, the Eastlake Wolves had a tough draw and lost both of their matches, quickly tumbling out of the Class 4A championships at Kennewick’s Toyota Center. Eastlake opened with the second-ranked Curtis Vikings, which earned a three-game sweep (27-25, 25-20, 25-16). Curtis went on to claim its first state championship a day later. In the loss, Eastlake senior Jordan Dahl finished with 18 kills and 20 digs. Hayley Barney added seven kills and 12 digs, and setter Elizabeth McCoy had 30 assists. Elly McEachern led Curtis with 15 kills, 10 digs and three aces. In the consolation bracket, the Wolves dropped a 3-1 decision to the Tahoma Bears (2520, 25-22, 23-25, 25-15).

Eastside Catholic reached the Class 3A volleyball tournament for the sixth time in eight seasons, but didn’t bring home a trophy from Kennewick after losing matches to Auburn Riverside and Metro League rival Bishop Blanchet. The Crusaders (12-12) opened Nov. 13 with a 3-1 loss to defending champion Auburn Riverside (2522, 24-26, 25-19, 25-19). Maddie McMaster had 17 kills and 17 digs, and Kyana Harris had 39 assists, 17 digs, eight kills and three blocks for EC. Kasey Holand had 16 kills to pace the Ravens, who went on to capture third place. EC bounced back with a four-set victory over the Enumclaw Hornets (25-21, 20-25, 25-22, 25-22). But the season ended with a four-set loss to Blanchet (25-18, 25-16, 27-29, 25-17). The teams met five times this season, with EC winning three.
We had to execute with the rain – ball can’t be dropping on the ground, and we had to finish today.” The Tides took an early 8-0 lead, going 80 yards on their opening possession. Quarterback Davis Alexander hit a wideopen Kyle Olson-Urbon behind the secondary for a 34-yard score, and running back Adrian Valona added the two-point conversion. Skyline responded just three minutes later as Boddie broke a couple tackles for a 56-yard TD, narrowing Gig Harbor’s lead to 8-7. It stayed that way until the third quarter, when Skyline quarterback Blake Gregory hit Caleb Johnston on a 53-yard catch-andrun, setting up Jack Crane’s 20-yard field goal for a 10-8 Spartans lead. After the defense forced a three-and-out, the Skyline offense needed just one play to get back in the end zone as Boddie broke free down the left sideline for 79 yards. Trailing 17-8, the Tides needed two scores to win the game, and got one of them with a little more than three minutes to play

when Valona plowed in from 6 yards. But the Spartans converted two crucial third downs on their following series. Gregory scrambled for six yards on a third-and-4, then found Jake Pendergast for 16 yards on third-and-8. By the time the Tides forced a punt, they were out of timeouts and got the ball at their own 12 with 1 second left. An incompletion on a short pass ended the game. No defense had held the Spartans to fewer than 31 points this season, and Skyline coach Mat Taylor said the Tides were the toughest opponent they’ve faced. “They’re phenomenal – they’re a very, very good team,” Taylor said. “They fought until the very end, which we expected. And I’m so proud of our defense, our defensive coordinator Ryan Thorsen and our staff.” Boddie continued his huge senior season. He has 1,609 rushing yards – an average of 146 per game – and has scored 18 touchdowns, but knows he couldn’t do it with out his offensive line. “They made big things for me happen,” Boddie said. “I’m proud of them. I’m going to get on them on next week … and we’re just going to keep getting better.”

A good night’s sleep can do more than relieve stress; it can clear your mind and body of toxins. With a good night’s sleep the brain can actually clean itself of toxic molecules. Not only can sleep help cleanse the body of toxins it can strengthen the im-mune system so you are less susceptible to bacteria and viruses. What you sleep on makes a big difference in the way you sleep. Make sure your mattress and bedding are made of the highest quality natural non-toxic materials. Protect you and your family’s health by making sure to replace any synthetic materials in your bedroom with healthy alternatives such as 100% natural latex, cotton, silk and wool for mattresses, pillows and bedding.
