It’s not every day that the SammamishCity Council draws applause for takingaway an opportunity for public comment.

But that’s precisely what happenedwhen the council voted unanimously Sept.8 to close the public hearing on a set ofdevelopment regulations that the councilhopes will put the long-awaited TownCenter project in motion.

“In my opinion, I don’t think there’sanyone in the room who would think thatwe haven’t heard, over the last sevenyears, every aspect of every angle of thisissue,” Councilman John James saidbefore making a motion to close the publicand written comment period.

The audience, which included severalproperty owners slated to see their low-density land rezoned into valuable mixed-use development projects, cheered at thedecision.

With the comment period closed, thecouncil began deliberating on a series ofproposals designed to address some of theconcerns raised by the public during thelast three months of open public com-ment, including how to handle land own-ers interested in keeping their property asis instead of developing it like the city’splan envisions.

That issue drew a spirited debate andsplit vote in the council, withCouncilmembers Michele Petitti, TomOdell, James and Mark Cross eventually

voting to make a wholesale change of thezoning in the area all at once and notallowing property owners to opt out orrequest a lower-density zoning. DonGerend, Nancy Whitten and John Curleyvoted against the motion.

At issue are a handful of land owners –estimated by Community DevelopmentDirector Kamuron Gurol at four – thathave told the city they have no interest inselling or developing their property anddon’t want to be taxed off of it.

A property rezoned to higher densitymay be taxed much more than it wasbefore.

But Gurol said the city also had toweigh the Town Center plan and the eightyears and hundreds of hours of public

meetings that went into it. An uncoopera-tive landowner in a prime location couldlead to an empty field in what the cityenvisions as its downtown core.

For Curley, the issue was about proper-ty rights.

“It is their freedom,” he said. “We can’ttake that away from them by slapping (azoning) on them and taxing them out ofthere.”

Gurol had presented the council with acompromise option by which interestedproperty owners could ask the city toleave them at the lower density for threeyears, which would theoretically preventthe spike in their tax bill.

EFR won’thelp withFall CityBy Caleb Heeringa

It appears Fall City’s firedepartment may be on its own asit tries to make up for the finan-cial hole incurred bySammamish’s annexation of theAldarra and Montaine neighbor-hoods.

King County Fire District 27,which covers Fall City, lost anestimated 15 percent of its taxbase in the annexation, whichbecame official in July.Sammamish officials had told thedistrict it would try to soften theblow from the move and askedtwo Eastside Fire and Rescuepartners slated to save moneydue to the annexation to forgothose savings for two and a halfyears and forward that money toFall City.

Sammamish will do its part tohelp out those less fortunate thisfall.

The Mayor’s Month ofConcern for the Hungry will kickoff Sept. 25 with City Councilmembers and staff collectingnonperishable food at local gro-cery stores.

Volunteers are needed for thekick off day as well as for collec-tions on several other Saturdaysthroughout October.

Sammamish VolunteerCoordinator Dawn Sanders saidthe event is part of an informalcompetition between severalEastside cities, includingKirkland, Redmond, Bellevue andIssaquah.

Hall, told the council that hisgroup was in discussion withpotential private investors in Asiafor their “Village at the Park” pro-ject.

Withholding the zoning for theproject would only make it slowthings down, he said.

“(The planning process)can cost $500,000, $600,000,$700,000,” Potter said. “It’s avery involved process.Without the zoning in place,it’s hard to justify spendingthat kind of money.”

Gerend, who supported the 3-year plan, said uncooperativeproperty owners would likely bea problem no matter how thecity chose to institute the newzoning.

“Whether they’re zoned R-1 ornot, if they want to stay putthey’re still going to be an obsta-cle to a developer trying to aggre-gate parcels,” Gerend said.

Petitti, who voted for thewholesale change of the zoning,said she was doubtful that theoption the council was discussingwould be anything more thandelaying the inevitable for prop-erty owners.

“In all likelihood the tax billisn’t going to catch up with themfor two or three years anyway,”she said. “I’m not sure this isgoing to help them.”

In a separate interview,Barbara Alsheikh, assistanttax advisor with the countyassessor’s office, agreed thatthe rise in taxes wouldn’t beautomatic upon a propertybeing upzoned.

Assessments are based onsales, not zoning, she said, so theincrease in value wouldn’t comeinto play until nearby pieces ofland began to sell.

“There’s no way to tell whatthat lag is going to be,” Alsheikhsaid. “It depends on what the

economy and construction aredoing. It could be a year or two, itcould be more.”

Valerie Spiegler, who ownsproperty on Southeast 4th Streetslated to become the densest

Once the 3-year period wasover, the parcel would con-vert to the higher density.Some of the council seemedreceptive to the idea, sayingit would at least provide tem-porary reprieve for uncooper-ative property owners.

But Cross, a communityplanner for the city ofBellevue by trade, predictedthe seemingly innocuous planwould only complicate TownCenter as a whole.

Individual landowners thatmight be against the TownCenter project as a whole mightdrag the city through a lengthyappeals process – administrative-ly, through the county hearingexaminer and even into thecourts, he said.

And in a Town Center planthat requires developers to coor-dinate development on adjoiningparcels, having a few holdoutscould thwart development fortheir neighbors and frustrate theprivate investors needed to makethe project work.

“This is how layers of govern-ment that don’t help anyone getcreated,” Cross said. “What wedon’t want is to have a situationwhere a developer is puttingproperties together and there isone property they can’t includebecause that property needs a

rezone. It puts the whole packageat risk.”

Not creating uncertainty fordevelopers was a common themeat the meeting.

Though he wasn’t discussingthe rezone proposal in particular,John Potter, a consultant workingon developing the 13-acre“Liu/Lynette” project near City

Schools

Public schools and recreational facilities will be welcome inwhat is to become downtown Sammamish and will not counttowards developers’ caps on commercial square footage.

That was the gist of a resolution passed 6-1 by theSammamish City Council Sept. 8.

Councilwoman Nancy Whitten was the only dissentingvote, saying she feared that exempting a school or communitycenter would max out already-stressed traffic models in thearea. She said the city is already cutting corners in other waysthat contribute added traffic, including counting small units inapartment buildings as half of a development unit.

“I wouldn’t want to do this without some additional trafficstudies,” Whitten said. “How many exceptions are we going tohave? Are people going to go anywhere near Town Center iftraffic is gridlocked?”

Kamuron Gurol, community development director, assuredWhitten and the rest of the council that there would be otheroutlets to address traffic impacts if a large facility were goingin. Any large project is going to have do a standard traffic anal-ysis as part of the regular process in development.

According to the council’s resolution, private schools andrec facilities, such as a gym or private pool, would count ascommercial development, though “low intensity” portions ofthe facility such as soccer fields or basketball courts would beexempted.

Councilman Mark Cross said it didn’t make sense to have alarge school eat up the limited commercial square footageallowed in an area that was envisioned as having retail oroffice space.

“The idea (of Town Center) wasn’t to locate new schools intown, but to provide opportunities to have more people workand live in Sammamish,” he said.

City units

Sammamish kept all itsoptions on the table for theuse of development rightscurrently slated for land thecity owns.

The Sammamish CityCouncil elected not to makea decision on its “piggybank” of 240 units in TownCenter.

The rights are currentlyplanned to go towardsSammamish CommonsPark, City Hall and othercity-owned land, though thecouncil has indicated in thepast it envisions sellingthose rights to other devel-opers in Town Center toraise money for infrastruc-ture or motivate developersto include open space andother public amenities.

“I like the idea of havingmore flexibility,” coun-cilmember John Jamessaid. “Let’s use them wise-ly.”

Bridget considers herself astrong woman, so strong that shefound a way to save herself andher young son from her abusivehusband.

The two got help from theEastside Domestic ViolenceProgram, and now Bridget is giv-ing back by cycling with theLakemont Ladies Cycling Clubduring the annual Cycle theWAVE — Women AgainstViolence Everywhere — Issaquahbike ride.

It takes seven times for anabused woman to actually leaveher husband, Cycle the WAVE

ride director Sharon Andersonsaid.

“I was on time five,” saidBridget, who asked that her lastname not be used, because shelives in confidential housing toprotect herself and her son.

She lived with her husband for10 years and lived with multiplekinds of abuse: emotional, psy-chological, verbal, physical andfinancial.

“Things really changed for mewhen I had my son,” she said.

The family had lived inSeattle, but later moved to LasVegas. Bridget said she had nophone, no computer and no car.Still, she found a way to call

emergency shelters. Of all theshelters, the women at the EDVPwere the most compassionate,Bridget said.

EDVP has served more than104,800 victims of domestic vio-lence since it opened in 1982. For

every person the EDVP shelters,the nonprofit has to turn 18 awayfor financial reasons.

“I told my ex we were leavingto see family. Otherwise, I wouldhave never gotten out,” she said.

Her family, relieved she wasfinally leaving her husband, paidfor her plane ticket and pickedher up from the airport.

She met the director of theEDVP at an arranged location,and the director drove her to anemergency shelter, where shestayed for one month with herson.

The shelter was not a place tosettle, but a place to help womenmake the break from their rela-

tionships and learn about localresources.

“I compare it to an emergencyroom,” Bridget said, whose bed-room had a red button that woulddial the police. “It’s a secure feel-ing, but you’re always aware ofyour situation.”

At the shelter, she receivedbus tickets, food, counseling andlearned about the Department ofSocial and Health Services andchild advocacy groups.

Her son, then 3, had begun toverbalize the abuse he had expe-rienced.

District 10, the two partners whowould save about $10,000 and$38,000 a year respectively dueto the agency’s assessed value-based station funding model,balked at the idea of turningdown the savings and questionedwhy their citizens should fund apromise made by Sammamishindependent of EFR’s board.

At the Sept. 9 EFR meeting,the board voted down a proposalto have District 10 pay Fall City’sdepartment $125,000, the esti-

mated amount Fall City is miss-ing out on over the next two anda half years, and then have thattotal deducted from an outstand-ing debt District 10 owesSammamish. District 10’s com-missioners were the only affirma-tive votes.

“We don’t need a loan, wehave $53 million in the bank,”Sammamish Mayor Don Gerendsaid in response to the proposal.

Gerend and Councilman TomOdell, Sammamish’s representa-tives on the board, debated withEFR chief Lee Soptich whether“softening the blow” entailedensuring that Fall City wouldn’thave to make any staff cuts or

simply meant it would make upthe tax funds lost in the annexa-tion. Any assurance Sammamishmade to Fall City was an “intent,not a commitment,” Odell said.

In a later interview, Fall CityChief Chris Connor said hisdepartment has been cuttingdown on expenses since itbecame clear the annexation wasgoing forward earlier in the year.The department has put off anupgrade to the oxygen masks itsfirefighters use during structurefires and has cut back on all non-essential training like swift waterrescue. Connor said the depart-ment would likely have to dipinto its budget reserves to meet

operating costs next year andwouldn’t know for sure whetheror not they’d have to cut any staffuntil the county assessor’s officereleases its predictions ofchanges in assessed valuation ofproperty for next year.

Soptich echoed earlier argu-ments made by Issaquah andDistrict 10 representatives – thatit was Sammamish’s annexationand Sammamish’s promise tomake up for that annexation, andthat the rest of EFR’s partnersshouldn’t have to fund that.

“We don’t have a lot of skin inthe game on this. We’re trying tofind a way not to harm an agencywe rely greatly on and at the

same time not harm (EFR’s) part-nership,” Soptich said. “I don’tthink it’s fair to continue to haveFall City wonder whether they’regoing to have this funding ornot.”

With the board at a stalemate,the issue was taken off of EFR’sagenda after the failed vote.Discussions about adding FallCity as an EFR partner will likelycontinue at next month’s meet-ing, scheduled for Oct. 14.

OPINIONReview editorial

No Child Left Behindneeds rewriting

Another year has come and gone and test resultsrelated to No Child Left Behind have been released.Three schools in Sammamish are now considered“failing” — Beaver Lake Middle School, InglewoodJunior High and Eastlake High School. But beforeyou consider moving your child to a differentschool, or your family to a new district, considerthis.

The designation is virtually meaningless.The way the law is structured, it slices the student

body of each school into slivers — mostly alongracial lines, but also including special categories forchildren with special needs or who are just learningEnglish.

A percentage of students in each of these sub-groups must be proficient on the test for the schoolas a whole to be considered passing. If enough stu-dents in one sub-group don’t pass the test, the schoolis failing, even if 100 percent of the students in allthe other groups do make the grade.

The system seems largely set up to create failure.In a few years, every student will have to pass thetest in order for the school to be considered a pass-ing school. Yes, by 2014, schools will have to achievea 100 percent pass rate.

We’re not statisticians, but common sense tells usthat a 100 percent “pass” rate is impossible. In practi-cal terms, this means that a single child (with arunny nose, or raging hormones) could have a badday on a single test, and the entire school would beconsidered failing as a result.

The idea behind the No Child Left Behind law wasadmirable. It has helped focus attention to historical-ly underserved student populations and made edu-cators think hard about how to reach all of their stu-dents.

But the law is rapidly outliving its usefulness.Once all schools are failing, then what? The termwill lose its meaning and no longer motivate learn-ing communities to improve, since everyone will befailing no matter what they do.

Congress needs to overhaul this law long beforewe reach that threshold. Educators must find waysto continue to push student achievement forwardwithout unrealistic goals.

Remove the barricades

Enough already with the blockadeissue!

Those barricades that block con-nections to other roads need to beopened now.

The time to challenge road designand planning was when it was beingapproved years ago and the cityneeds to stop pandering to thewhiney few and provide access toall.

It is your responsibility to beaware of planned developmentaround you and when you buy ahouse.

Trying to come back now andchange the rules of the game is justwrong and immature.

Tomatoes for

world peaceTomato plants can bring people

together and make lasting friends.Years ago, I was introduced to a

neighbor whom I thought was ascrewball that I never intended totalk to again.

If he was walking in my direc-tion, I’d make a turn to avoid him.

This all changed when weadmired each others tomatoes andstarted talking about our plants —their breed, ripening season, size,shape, color, taste, soils, supports,fertilizer, watering and anything elseregarding our plants. We becamegreat friends, buddies.

We live on the west side of theSammamish Plateau, so luck is alsoa factor because we don’t get asmuch morning sun as most ofSammamish.

Topography, trees and buildingsall play a part.

A special feature of our newfriendship was our convictionthat you need to talk to yourplants.

Our experience proves to us thatthis is so.

Plant tomatoes along the bordersof Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistanand India and see what happens. It’sworth a try.

Be nice to your plants, and peo-ple, too. Remember the next impor-

tant thing for world peace: Getyour plants in early.

Tony EmmanuelSammamish

A different

barricade studyAbout two years ago, when the

city officials started talking as ifremoving the barricades wouldsolve all our traffic problems, Isent an e-mail to all the councilmembers, asking them to makethe following information public:

1. When were the barricadesinstalled?

2. What were the reasons fortheir installation?

3. Under whose authority werethey installed?

The only council member thatreplied was Nancy Whitten, whoforwarded my e-mail to cityemployees and asked them to lookinto this matter. I never heardfrom them.

Now, if we knew why the barri-cades were installed in the first place,all we have to do is to consider thosereasons: Are they still valid? If theyare, then end of story.

Barricades stay where they are.It is not necessary to have onepublic meeting after another.

Also, if barricades wereinstalled, for instance, on theorders of a federal judge, then theCity Council may not have theauthority to override his decision.

Historic times are here

Sometimes we are so focusedon our lives that we miss historicmovements. At this time, theissues of states’ rights under the10th Amendment will now be con-stitutionally interpreted and thiswill have profound effects on thefuture of this country.

The ballot initiative is playing avital part of implementing the willof the people as the federal gov-ernment has run roughshod overour liberties since the election ofPresident Obama.

Case in point, the recent vote in

Missouri, where a ballot initiativeestablishing the right of Missouri cit-izens to reject the Obamacare man-date passed by 70 percent of the pri-mary voters (a record 900,000 voterturnout).

The election season this fall willalso see other ballot initiatives thatwill challenge federal laws includinglegalization of marijuana inCalifornia.

The stakes are high (no punintended) as this ballot initiative willset up a historic challenge to federalgovernance of drug laws over statesrights in the Supreme Court.

States challenging immigrationenforcement (through state legisla-tures and litigation brought by theattorneys general) will force a reti-cent federal bureaucracy to onceand for all solve the rampant illegalimmigration problem or relinquishthe power back to the States.

Our constitution is being testedand I believe the Supreme Courtwill stop the erosion of our libertiesand finally provide some sanity tothe judgments of lower courts.

As with the rulings on the SecondAmendment that defined the rightto bear arms once and for all, so willthe Supreme Court finally definethe limitations of the power of thefederal government.

5 GREATEST DANGERS FACINGOUR CHILDREN TODAY

LEADERS IN PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT

1. LACK OF EXERCISE Obesity and physical inactivity are two main risk factors of Type 2 diabetes in children.

2. POOR DIET HABITSUnhealthy eating habits are predisposing children to serious illness, including heart disease.

3. PEER PRESSURE Children are encouraged to engage in unacceptable or unsafe behavior to ‘fit in.’

4. BULLYING Children that experience peer harassment are more likely to suffer from

decreased self-worth and depression.

5. LACK OF MOTIVATIONMany children’s lives lack direction because they haven’t been taught how to set worthy goals.

It doesn’t have to be that way. At Karate West, we understand these concerns and have solutions for parents. For over 20 years we have been helping children build strong minds and bodies.

Spiegler, who currentlylives in Virginia and rents outher Sammamish home, hasqualms with the entire TownCenter project, saying it does-n’t provide near enough den-sity or commercial develop-ment to make a worthyinvestment for developers.

“I haven’t had a developercall me in six years,” Spieglersaid in a later interview. “Theplan as it stands is horren-dously flawed … (The city) didnot want a town center, theygot into doing a town centerplan because they had to com-ply with the requirements ofthe (state GrowthManagement Act) … Now thatthey’ve satisfied the state theycan sit on a plan that’s impos-sible to implement.”

Spiegler said she fears thatthe plan will flounder andleave her and her neighborswith a high tax bill but no will-ing buyers.

“It’s one thing to take anincrease in taxes for two yearsbecause a developer called lastweek and says he’ll have dirt

turned over in 2013, but that’snot what we’re looking at,” shesaid.

Cross said causing headachesfor developers to placate a fewresidents isn’t in anyone’s inter-est.

“A developer might be ready tooffer good money for a lot thathas the old zoning, but would beputting their entire project at riskof delays due to the uncertaintyof rezoning that piece,” Cross

wrote in an e-mail. “In my viewthis would cause a reduction inthe price offered for the parcelthat is in a three year holdingpattern … Keeping old zoning inillogical spots is just that, illogi-cal.”

EDVP fundraiser, where she metIssaquah’s Anderson. Three yearsago, Anderson combined two ofher interests: the Rising StarGuild for the Eastside DomesticViolence Program and theLakemont Ladies Cycling Club.

The result, Cycle the WAVE,debuted in 2008, with 253 ridersraising $23,000. Last year, partici-pation in the ride more than dou-bled, with 604 women fundrais-ing $50,000.

Her goal for 2010 is 1,000 rid-ers bringing in $100,000.

The ride — not a race —invites women to cycle 25, 40 or62 miles. Women from the area,including Eastside Fire & Rescueand Issaquah schools, pedalthroughout Issaquah for their sis-ters in need.

Men and other volunteers can

donate money or help on thecourse.

“I think being in an all-women’s ride is a great atmo-sphere,” Lakemont Ladies cyclistLinda Brummett, of MercerIsland, said.

Tina Martinez, of Sammamish,agreed.

“We’re women who can helpwomen live the life theydeserve,” she said.

Graham Hunter, owner ofVeloce Velo Bike Shop in down-town Issaquah, has sponsored theride since its inception.

This year, he gave even more,donating a 24-speed ScottSpeedster to Bridget for the ride.

Cycle the WAVE surprised herwith the bicycle during a TVinterview with “New DayNorthwest” on KING 5.

Bridget is still cycling on air,admiring her new bike.

“I’m one of eight kids, so Iwould always get the hand-me-downs,” she said. “This is mybike.”

Eastside Fire & Rescue officials are con-sidering working their firefighters for 48hours at a time in exchange for four con-secutive days off.

A study group comprised of fire com-missioners and firefighters compared andcontrasted various work schedules used byneighboring fire departments and present-ed their findings to EFR’s board Sept. 9.

The agency currently uses a schedulingmodel known as a “Modified Detroit,”which has firefighters work one day on,one off, one on, one off, one on and fouroff. King County Fire District 10 commis-sioner Wes Moorehead said the study

group found that this model has the poten-tial to lead to long-term fatigue becausefirefighters are forced to go back and forthfrom work days to off days and are unableto set good sleep schedules in their offdays. It’s also a complicated schedule forfirefighters trying to maximize time withtheir families, he said.

“I went into this predisposed that (work-ing 48 hours at a time) would be a fatigueissue, but I was surprised to find that thosepredictions didn’t come true,” EFR DeputyChief of Operations Jeff Griffin said.“When you’re a rookie firefighter the firstthing we tell you is that everything (in thefire service) can kill you and we’ll prove itto you. It makes them hyper-vigilant.

They don’t recover psychologically fromthat state rapidly.”

Though firefighters working 24-hourshifts often have opportunities to sleep,they can also be woken up at any momentto run to a fire or medical emergency.

The work group interviewed adminis-trators and union representatives from firedepartments in the area, including severalthat had recently changed to the “two-on,four-off” system. The results ran thegamut, with some reporting happier andless fatigued firefighters to others report-ing declining productivity. Fire officialsoften noted that the effectiveness of theschedule change had a lot to do with thedepartment’s other scheduling policies

and leadership.The work group also believes the

change could be made without any addi-tional costs or employees.

But Ron Pedee, chairman of the EFRBoard of Directors wasn’t buying it, andhad drafted an 8-page minority reportexplaining why.

“Why in the world would we want totrade a situation where we have a freshfirefighter coming to work every morn-ing,” Pedee asked. “In (a two-on, four-offsystem), on half of the days of the year, allthe firefighters in the stations will havebeen on duty for at least 24 hours. It does-

Not a gamerA couple on the 22500 block of

Northeast 12th Place reportedseveral fraudulent charges ontheir credit card Sept. 3.

The couple received severalcalls from companies askingthem to verify their credit cardinformation for purchases of anXbox and several other purchas-es.

They are unsure how theirinformation was stolen. The caseremains under investigation.

Late-night intruder

A 47-year-old Sammamishwoman apparently had thou-sands of dollars of electronicsand other personal items stolenfrom her home while she sleptSept. 3.

The woman, who lives on the2800 block of East LakeSammamish Parkway, fell asleepat around 11 p.m. the nightbefore with her front door closedbut unlocked.

When she woke at 6 a.m. thefront door was propped openwith a dust pan and variousitems in the living room andentry way of the house weregone.

A laptop, guitar, camera, cellphone, Social Security card andcredit cards were among the

items stolen. Police were able toobtain a partial fingerprint fromthe door and believe it mightbelong to the suspect. The caseremains under investigation.

Odd withdrawal

A 35-year-old Sammamishwoman reported Sept. 1 thatsomeone had withdrawn $62.50from her bank account withouther permission.

The charge was made at aSeattle ATM the day before. Thewoman closed her account andthe bank refunded the money.

And another

A 43-year-old Sammamishwoman had a total of $1,200charged to her credit card with-out her permission Aug. 15.

The charges were made inIrvine, Calif. The victim closedher bank account and got a newdebit card.

And yet another

An 18-year-old Sammamishman had $400 fraudulently with-drawn from his bank accountAug. 29. The victim said he hadbeen given a temporary ATMcard by his bank.

He told police that when hereceived the real card he thoughthe threw the temporary oneaway, but could not be certain.

And how about one

more?A 55-year-old Sammamish

woman reported Aug. 25 that sheand her daughter had thousandsof dollars fraudulently charged totheir credit cards.

The charges all occurredbetween Aug. 17 and Aug. 19 inthe San Diego area and includedtrips to fast food restaurants andtwo $700 purchases at depart-ment stores.

The victim suspects someonefrom her cleaning service mayhave been involved, as the com-pany had sent someone she did-n’t recognize to clean her homethe day before the charges began.The victim closed both the creditcards. The case remains underinvestigation.

No more mowing

A Seattle man who rents out ahome on the 22900 block ofNortheast 21st Street reportedthat someone had been repeated-ly vandalizing the home over thelast nine years.

On Sept. 4, the landlord foundthat a lawnmower he kept in thevacant home’s garage had had itspull string cut.

The man is unsure how some-one could have accessed thegarage. He said that two daysbefore someone had damagedmotion sensor lights in front ofthe garage.

The landlord said that the van-dalism had been occurring offand on over the years, usuallywhen the house is vacant. Lockshad been filled with glue, cablewires had been pulled out andthe house had been egged.

He told police he suspected a

neighborhood teenager, as thevandalism was “something a kidwould do.” The case remainsunder investigation.

Backseat flagger

A 64-year-old Aberdeen manwas cited for reckless driving forrefusing to follow the directionsof a flagger in the constructionzone near the corner ofNortheast Eighth Street and 244thAvenue Northeast.

The incident occurred theafternoon of Aug. 31, when theman, a former construction flag-ger himself, was confused by theflagger’s directions. He becamefrustrated with how the laneswere marked and stopped andrefused to move, holding up traf-fic behind him.

When police arrived, the mantold the officer that he “refused tocommunicate with arrogant[expletive deleted],” according tothe police report.

When the officer asked theman if he was referring to theofficer, he replied, “that’s notwhat I said but if that’s how youtook it then so be it,” according tothe report.

The man eventually moved,but not until police cited him forreckless driving.

Road rage

A near-collision in the QFCparking lot nearly escalated intoa fight the morning of Sept. 3.

A 42-year-old Snoqualmieman called police to report thatanother driver had threatened

him during the incident, whichoccurred just before 8 a.m.

The other driver, a white malein his 50s, got out of his car andbegan yelling at the victim.

The victim drove away andboth cars turned left out of theparking lot onto Issaquah-PineLake Road. As they drove in adja-cent lanes, the suspect reportedlyshowed the man a “black object.”

Not sure what the object was,the victim showed the man hiscell phone, attempting to indicatethat he was going to call police.

The victim went to work thatday and then called police in theafternoon with the man’s licenseplate number.

Police attempted to contactthat man at the address on thevehicle’s registration, but the resi-dents at that address said theywere renting from the man andwere unsure where he lives now.The case remains under investi-gation.

Rocking too hard

A 48-year-old Sammamishman on his way home from aconcert at the Snoqualmie Casinowas arrested on suspicion of driv-ing under the influence Sept. 3.

A Sammamish Police officerclocked the man driving 54 milesper hour in a 35 zone on the 4400block of Issaquah-Pine Lake Roadat around 12:15 a.m.

The officer smelled alcohol onthe man’s breath and gave theman field sobriety tests, at whichhe performed poorly. A portable

n’t make sense.”In his report, Pedee questioned the value of

adopting a new system simply because neighboringdepartments were doing it. Though having four-dayweekends every week would likely make firefightershappy, Pedee said he didn’t think that was worth thechance of having a firefighter on their 47th consecu-tive hour of work make a potentially deadly mistake.

“(The two-on, four-off system) transfers responsi-bility and accountability to be fit for duty from theemployee, where it belongs, to the employer,” Pedeewrote. “(It would) make the firefighter’s job a smallerand less important factor in their life. They would bereporting for duty less than four times per month.Work, rather than something to be enjoyed, mightwell become something to be endured for 48 hoursfor the sake of the next four days off.”

The board will be considering the work group’srecommendations in the coming months.

Huge underground boulders andpockets of groundwater are delayingand increasing the price tag of thecity’s East Lake Sammamish Parkwayexpansion project.

The Sammamish City Council metin executive session Sept. 7 to approvea $650,000 settlement with AECOM,the construction management firmrunning the project, over unanticipat-ed work being done on the project.

The executive session was calledbecause the dispute between the cityand AECOM over the cost of the workappeared “on the path to litigation,”project manager Jeff Brauns said.

The delay was caused by largeunderground rocks, unstable soils andexcessive groundwater that made itmore difficult to put in large pilingsneeded to reinforce a bridge and hill-sides above and below the road.

Public Works Director JohnCunningham said before the projectbegan the city paid for geotechnicaltests that involved drilling 20 holesinto the ground to analyze the state ofsoil along the roadway. The tests did-n’t find any problems.

“The only time you really knowwhat you’re going to hit is whenyou’re drilling a hole at the same size,diameter and depth as the hole you’llneed for construction,” Cunninghamsaid.

The delay will push back the datethe city expects the project to be fin-ished to mid-November, about six toeight weeks longer than originallyanticipated.

Most of the rest of the work will beabove ground, meaning fewer poten-tial soil problems, though wet fallweather could make it difficult topave and paint the road, Brauns said.

This portion of the project, dubbed

“1B” by the city, was paid for mostlythrough a $3.5 million federal stimu-lus grant.

With construction managementfees and unanticipated costs the pricetag of the project will likely reach $4.2million.

City Manager Ben Yazici pointedout in a press release that the cityreceived lower-than-expected bids onseveral other recent projects, includ-ing sidewalk and bike lane work onSoutheast 20th Street – which came infor $1.5 million despite earlier esti-mates that it would cost $2.25 million.

The parkway’s cost overrun is“more than covered” by that and othersavings, he said.

breath test revealed a blood alco-hol level of approximately .114,over the .08 limit for driving.

The man told the officer thathe had drank “a beer and ascotch” at the concert that night,but later admitted that he haddrank 3 additional scotchesbefore the concert began, accord-ing to the police report.

The man was cited for alleged-ly driving under the influenceand dropped off at home bypolice. His vehicle was impounded.

Lying gets you

nowhereA 17-year-old Renton teen was

arrested for allegedly drivingwithout a license and lying to aSammamish police officer abouther identity Aug. 29. The officerwas transporting someone to jail

on an unrelated matter when hewas cut off by a vehicle pullingout of a residential side streetonto Duthie Hill Road at around2 a.m.

The officer pulled the car overand contacted the driver, whoappeared frightened and told theofficer she did not have a driver’slicense.

The teen gave the officer hername and date of birth but hadtrouble recalling her address,phone number or Social Securitynumber.

The officer took the girl intocustody for driving without avalid license and continued toquestion her about her identity.The teen eventually admittedthat she had been lying and gavethe officer her real name andbirthday.

The officer contacted theteen’s father, who verified hisdaughter’s identity and came topick her up at Sammamish CityHall. The daughter will becharged with driving without a

license and failure to cooperatewith police.

Pot crumbs and a sip

of alcoholAn 18-year-old Issaquah man

stopped for walking the wrongdirection down the street wassent to jail for possessing fiveflakes of marijuana and having aslight odor of alcohol on hisbreath.

The officer saw the man walk-ing south on the west side ofDuthie Hill Road at around 1:30a.m. Aug. 29 with his back tooncoming traffic. State law dic-tates that when a road does notcontain sidewalks, pedestriansshould walk on the shoulder fac-ing oncoming traffic.

In the report, the officer statesthat he remembered the manfrom an earlier incident whenthe officer had caught the manand several of his friends urinat-ing on the side of Wells Fargo atthe Pine Lake Shopping Center.

The officer stopped the manand smelled intoxicants on hisbreath and found the man tohave watery, bloodshot eyes. Theofficer asked the man if he hadbeen drinking and the man said“no.”

The officer offered to let theman prove that by taking a vol-untary breath test, but the mandeclined. The officer then arrest-ed the man anyway, based on thefact that he was a minor exhibit-ing the effects of alcohol ordrugs, according to the report.

While he was being hand-cuffed the man agreed to do theportable breath test, whichshowed a blood alcohol sample ofapproximately .007, less thanone-tenth of the legal limit forthose over the age of 21, butenough to warrant a minor inpossession charge for thoseunder the legal age.

The officer then began search-ing the man’s backpack, askingthe man if it contained anythingillegal. The man told the officer

“no,” according to the report. The officer then found a small

baggie with “four or five flakes”or less than one gram of marijua-na. The report also states that theman had “a host of literaturefrom Hempfest 2010” in his bag.

The man was booked intoIssaquah Jail on suspicion ofminor in possession, possessionof marijuana and making falsestatements.

The case will be forwarded toprosecutors, who will decidewhether the man will be charged.

High times

A 24-year-old Sammamishman with a medical marijuanacard was stopped for allegedlydriving while under the influ-ence Sept. 4. A SammamishPolice officer reports seeing theman speeding through the round-about at East Lake SammamishParkway and Southeast 43rdStreet at around 6:30 p.m.

The officer caught up with theman’s vehicle and clocked himdriving 64 mph in a 45 zone.When the officer approached thecar he could smell a “very strongodor of unburned cannabis.”

The man, whose eyes werebloodshot and droopy, told policehe is a medical marijuana patientand had smoked about one hourbefore.

The man was arrested after hewas given field sobriety tests andshowed signs of marijuanaimpairment. He also allowed theofficer to photograph “a singlebud” of marijuana, a pipe and theman’s medical card, which werefound in the center console ofthe car. The officer then returnedthose items. The man was drivento Swedish Medical Center inIssaquah, where a blood samplewas taken.

Officers will forward theresults of tests on those samplesto prosecutors, who will decidewhether to charge the man withdriving under the influence.

Months after the Sammamishband prevailed in a battle of thebands to earn the opening slot atthe largest music fest in theNorthwest, members patientlywaited through the last momentsbefore a career-defining perfor-mance.

Richard and Leslie Urie, ofSammamish, might have one ofthe more unusual stories to tell ofhow they celebrated their 30thwedding anniversary Aug. 9.

Just five days before theiranniversary, Leslie gave Richardone of her kidneys during atransplant procedure Aug. 4 atthe University of WashingtonMedical Center.

“We both are doing remarkablywell,” Richard said four weeksafter the Aug. 4 surgery.

Except for Richard being a lit-tle tired and Leslie dealing withsome nerve damage in her arm,the couple act as if life is nearlyback to normal.

“We had a lot of people pray-ing for us all around the world,”Leslie said.

The Uries found out Richardhad kidney disease seven yearsago, they said. Richard took hisson off to college in Illinois andon the return trip he became sickand anemic. He soon found outhe had lost half of his kidneyfunction — it was a result of liv-ing for decades with diabetes, hesaid.

Richard said he wasn’t thatsurprised when, in 2003, the doc-tors told him he was in kidneyfailure. His mother died at age 82

of kidney failure and the diseaseran in the family. Richard’s twinbrother, Robert, found his kid-neys were failing, too. Robert,like his brother, received a newkidney from his wife, Shirley, in

2007.Patients receiving a kidney

from a non-biological livingdonor is on the rise, too.

“It’s becoming more commonbecause of the wait time,” said

Dr. Connie Davis, a professor ofmedicine at the UW and co-direc-tor of the kidney transplant pro-gram. “We’re starting to see quitea bit of it now.”

The UW does 90-110 kidney

transplants per year, Davis said,with 35-40 kidneys coming fromlive donors.

When it came to the process ofgetting the transplant, the Urieswere grateful they had plenty oftime to prepare and stay ashealthy as possible withoutRichard going through dialysis.

Some people find out whentheir kidneys are nearly shot andgo on dialysis for years beforegetting a transplant, Richard said.

“I am very fortunate because Idid know,” he said. He was tech-nically on the UW transplantwaitlist for about six months, but“it was really like a five-yearwait.”

The key to a successful opera-tion and recovery, Leslie andRichard said, was searching forfriends and family (live donors)willing to donate. That ensures amuch quicker process and maylead to getting the transplantbefore going on dialysis.

Six people were willing to giveRichard a kidney, the Uries said.In the end, Leslie was the bestone for the task.

“I’m very thankful,” Richardsaid. “The waitlist is so long, themore live donors you have, themore people get them.”

Leslie has type-O blood, whichmeans she can donate to anyone

“We’re not going to be asrehearsed as we could be,” Sprutesaid.

If all else fails, play reallyloud, Beeman said. Only he useda qualifier unprintable in a fami-ly newspaper.

The band, polite and punctualas always, climbed the stairs tothe stage at 12:30 sharp.

Bullock, dressed in black,appeared tiny and birdlike insidethe cavernous venue. GuitaristWill Holmes remained focusedon his guitar. The band insteadutilized violinist David Bahr as aspokesman.

Backed by lush instrumentals,Bullock, her eyes cast downward,

— she’s a universal donor,according to the American RedCross. So, despite the fact thatRichard has type-A blood, theymatched. With organ trans-plants, doctors also have to fac-tor in whether the organ will fitin the recipient’s body, amongother things. However in thiscase, since it was a kidney,blood type was the biggestdeterminer.

“Now-a-days matching is notas important,” Richard said.“Basically, it’s blood type (that’simportant).”

Upon volunteering to giveher husband a kidney, Lesliesaid the transplant departmentat UW asked lots of questions.

“They wanted to know ifRichard coerced me to give or ifanyone had asked for money,”Leslie said.

As of Sept. 9, 108,573Americans were waiting for anorgan transplant, according tothe United Network for OrganSharing. Approximately 14,100of them had received onebetween January and June,2010 from 7,136 donors.

In the end, Richard recov-ered quicker than Leslie, they

said. After getting a new kid-ney, he had new life in him,new energy.

She went from two kidneysto one and also lost feeling andmuscle use in her upper leftarm. The pain medicationsmade her sick and she is stilldoing physical therapy to regainstrength in her arm.

“I was not doing well,” Lesliesaid.

Richard needed no painmedications, he said. He alsodownplays the impact of suchan invasive operation, whichleft a foot-long scar along hisright side and abdomen.

“The basic thing is it’s not asdifficult as it seems,” saidRichard, a deli manager at theAlbertson’s along Highway 202.“I felt fairly comfortable withwhat was going to happen.”

He has had difficulty notbeing able to work for six toeight weeks and having to naptwice a day, he said. But ulti-mately, both are grateful Lesliecould help Richard overcomehis battle with kidney failure.

“We both had a sense ofpeace about it,” Leslie said.

launched into “Konza Plains” — asong the band performed at thecompetition to earn theBumbershoot slot.

“There’s so many friggin’ peo-ple here. It’s nuts.” Beeman saidmidway through the 10-song set.

The final song rolled from the

stage in — to borrow a phrase —great waves of sound.

Pop music blared as hundredsof Beaver Lake Middle School stu-dents and their parents pouredthrough the front doors at BeaverLake Sept. 10. PTA volunteersgreeted them, handed each asmall plate and student leader-ship class members served pulledpork, coleslaw, root beer floatsand other barbecue elements.

The annual back-to-school bar-becue serves to introduce theincoming sixth-graders and theirfamilies to the greater BLMScommunity, said PTA co-presi-dent Deb Smith.

Although it is focused on wel-coming the younger students, theevent was open to everyone. Inall, roughly 450 people showedup to dine in the Beaver Lakecafeteria.

This year’s barbecue was extraimportant, Smith said, because ofthe shuffling of attendanceboundaries.

“It’s the first time for the sixth-graders that they have friendsnot from their neighborhoods,”she said. “Anytime you buildcommunity and pride in theschool, kids have more sense of

belonging. It’s a good chance forparents to meet, too.”

Smith and others wereimpressed with the overallturnout. She said there weremore seventh- and eighth-gradersthan usual.

As families settled into thelunch tables, parents mingledand many of their pre-teensbuzzed around the open space infront of the stage. The DJ ledinteractive games and other stu-dents hopped outside to petBuddy 2.0, the school’s live mas-cot — a bulldog, whose owner,Patrick Ford, teaches at BLMS.

“My general vibe is BeaverLake has a uniquely good graspon the general level of raisingkids and educating kids,” saidparent John Haile. “The spirit ofthis is so right on.”

Haile has one child at BeaverLake and one at EndeavourElementary and has overall beenimpressed with the district’s pro-motion of community involve-ment, he said.

“Success is predicated oninvolvement,” he said. “(Being at)the barbecue just gave every kidthat’s here an extra 10 points ontheir next test.”

As Brad Malloy settles in asprincipal at Eastlake High School,the longtime administrator in theLake Washington School Districtsat down with the SammamishReview to talk a little bit abouthis approach to his new job.

Malloy replaced GregSchellenberg, who moved withhis family to China in July for anew school job and for his wife topursue business opportunities.

Malloy formerly was principaland associate principal for thepast seven years.

In addition to his time at LakeWashington High School inKirkland, he worked as assistantand associate principal withfounding co-principal RondelHardie at Eastlake from 1999-2003.

Malloy has bachelor’s degreesin business and history from theUniversity of Puget Sound and amaster’s degree in school admin-istration from WesternWashington University.

He took the position upon thesuggestion of Chip Kimball, LakeWashington School District super-intendent, he said in July.

He began his career out of col-lege in banking and insurance,

but wasn’t fulfilled, he said.“I wanted to really make a dif-

ference and do more with mylife,” Malloy said.

He taught middle school spe-cial education and social studiesfor eight years in the HighlineSchool District and came to theLake Washington School District

in 1999.This is his 12th year as a

school administrator. He lives in Kirkland with his

wife Greta and children,Matthew, seventh grade, andMcKenzie, sixth grade.

How’s the job going so far?

It’s going really well. I’m fortu-nate I was here before.

I knew what Eastlake wasfounded on. I’m not just comingin cold.

Describe your educational phi-

losophy or approach to schooladministration.

I’m really about kids — that’swhy I’m in this. I started in spe-cial-ed.

It was very rewarding and ittaught me a lot about kids andhow kids learn differently. Someof the smartest kids, verbally andorally, were special-ed kids.

Fortunately, I’ve seen a mix ofstudents throughout my teachingcareer. I want to care for otherpeople’s kids like others (inLWSD) care for my kids.

How do you continue withRonie Hardie’s legacy atEastlake?

She is the master. She’s reallythe guru of Eastlake. It’s a littledaunting, coming in (now).

She was an awesome mentorfor me and I can only hope tolive up to what she believed in.

I told her it was kind of weirdsitting at her old desk.

Why did you become a schooladministrator?

After six years (of teaching), Iwas just drawn to different thingsthat administrators were involvedin. I saw how I could impact andinfluence the school.

How is Eastlake different fromLake Washington High School?

It’s a lot bigger — 300 morehigh school kids and 100 morejunior high kids. One of the firstthings that caught me was thatwe had 99.1 percent of kids pass-ing writing.

That speaks to our communi-ty. (It’s clear) this communityvalues education (not that LakeWashington doesn’t).

With the Lake WashingtonSchool District moving towardthe four-year high schoolmodel, how will Eastlakechange and how will you leadthat?

Hopefully it won’t be a hugechange for the kids. The big tran-sition will be: Get the right teach-ers in place … and also in thefirst year, half of the students willbe brand new to our school.

This time we have to have agood, personalized transition forour students.

The faculty change: I think we

work hard to try to anticipateareas that would be a problem.

We’ll do a good job at it. Wewill be well prepared and orga-nized.

Given that Eastlake wasnamed a 2009 state School ofDistinction, how do youaddress the recent AdequateYearly Progress results thatshow Eastlake did not meetstandards in some areas?

I think what that means, is wehave to get down to the individu-

al student. We don’t need to putall our efforts to re-teaching skills… still we have the responsibilityto challenge them.

Safety Net classes help addressthis. The reality of the situationis, we have kids who move intothe area who have not been inour K-12 criteria.

They may lack skills or cred-its. We’re always told (to focuson) the whole kid. AYP just takesa little sliver of a snapshot. It hasforced us to look at best practicesand how we teach.

We want teachers to col-

MalloyContinued from Page 12

laborate. Also to develop com-mon assessments so teacherscan sit down and look atachievement. We’ve beengiven time to do that.

What do you expect fromEastlake students and staff?

From staff: sometimes asadults, we forget the impact wecan have on kids.

I think what we do withkids and how we preparethem for the future has adirect impact on society andour economy. It’s a hugeresponsibility we have.

For kids: They don’t wake upand think ‘how can I fail today.’ Ithink they’re coming here tolearn something today. We have aresponsibility to meet thoseneeds.

Tell us something interestingabout yourself most peopledon’t know.

I went to high school my lasttwo years in West Berlin duringthe Cold War.

Every Monday morning,Armed Forces Radio would comeon and it gave an account of howmany people died (crossing outof East Berlin).

It really influenced me. Tohave the courage to go for some-thing when they didn’t knowwhat would happen.

Athletes in fall sports acrossthe plateau have been practicingfor weeks and most have playeda game or two. Here’s a look atsome of this season’s teams,more will come next week.

Cross countryEastlake

Even though it lost three of itsbest runners to graduation, headcoach Troy Anderson said theEastlake girls cross country teamstill has a shot at winning stateagain in 2010. Some of the gradu-ates will be hard to replace,Anderson said, but they returnsix of the top 10 runners from thestate team.

“This year’s squad … is racingwell to put themselves intoanother position to make a run atthe state championship,” he said.

The off season seemed tobring some important team build-ing that will be key to the teamstaying strong against opponentslike Redmond and, in the post-season, Gig Harbor.

“The girls team have had solidoff-season training, and with sev-eral new runners who are gellingwith the veteran runners, theteam is looking to have anotherstrong season,” Anderson said.

Seniors Haley O’Connor,Katelyn Steen, Maddie Starnesand Megan Batty will take chargefor the Lady Wolves in 2010.

The boys team graduated sixof its top seven from the 2009squad but return a youthful andenergetic group of runners. Thekey this year will be work as atight pack, Anderson said.Seniors Cole Glover and Matt

Matula, as well as juniors ChrisDallas and Connor Dorsey, willlead the boys pack this season forEastlake.

Meets to watch: Eastlake vs.Woodinville and Ballard (BeaverLake Park), 4:15 p.m. Sept. 15;Eastlake vs. Skyline andInglemoor (Klahanie Park), 4p.m. Sept. 29; Eastlake vs.Redmond and Issaquah (BeaverLake Park), 2:45 p.m. Oct. 13.

SkylineFor the Lady Spartan runners,

it’s been hard to compete withthe Eastlake girls for the past fewyears, but Skyline (6-4 in 2009) isreturning one of its “strongestgirls team after the 2001 state

champs,” said head cross countrycoach Brendan Hyland.

For the girls, seniors Yina MoeLange and Jill Wolken will leadthe pack, along with seniorsLindsey Nicholson and ErinVanderwall. Newcomers JordanBranch, Sam Krahling, HaleySmith and Kathryn Steele mayhelp Skyline climb in the rank-ings in 2010.

“The girls feature a lot ofreturning talent,” Hyland said.“The team also has a lot of newrunners who will make animpact in KingCo.”

On the boys side of things,Skyline went 7-3 in 2009 and senta couple of runners to the statemeet. Even though it lost speed-

ster Simon Sorensen, senior KyleBranch should settle easily intohis role as captain and fastest guyon the team. Co-captain RyanRixon will look to score pointsnear the front of the pack againstteams like Redmond, Bothell andIssaquah. As any team seeks tofeature at least five consistentleaders, Skyline could surprisesome opponents with sophomoreKeegan Symmes and freshmenBrendan Long and Joe DeMatteoholding backing up Branch andRixon.

“The team trained hard thissummer and looks forward tobeing the top team in KingCo,”Hyland said. “It will be toughcompetition but the team is in

place to be one of KingCo’s best.”

Girls swimmingEastlake

Even though the Eastlakeswim and dive team lost its topswimmer when Katie Kinnearmoved into the Skyline atten-dance boundary, it returns anexperienced, deep and tight-knitsquad in 2010, said head coachAndy Hay.

The Lady Wolves will rely onthe state-experienced KaraBeauchamp, Mackenzie Rands,Laurel Schy and Becca Fabian tolead the way in a fierce KingColeague that includes Skyline,Issaquah and Garfield.

With the competition the wayit is around the state this year,Hay speculated Eastlake may notsend as many to the state meet,but the 27-strong team may sur-prise opponents with its depth.

Beauchamp, a junior, will like-ly compete well in the 200-meterindividual medley and the 500-meter freestyle. Senior Randsshould compete in the diving cat-egory in 2010 and Fabian, also asenior, looks to dominate in the100-meter breaststroke and the 50and 100 freestyle events, Haysaid. Schy will hope to score wellfor Eastlake in the 100 backstrokeand 100 butterfly races.

Hay said the girls will makefor a fairly strong relay team, aswell.

“This is by far the deepestteam I’ve seen since I started in2007,” Hay said. “The over-whelming majority … cameready to compete and theyalready knew how to swim and

Eastlake

dominates

Snohomish, improves

to 1-1

The Eastlake football teamsoundly beat Snohomish Sept. 10to improve to 1-1 on the season.The Wolves relied on big playsfrom standout running back KyleLappano, but ultimately theoffense put on an all-aroundshow in Snohomish. Eastlakewon 47-0 and now looks to takethat momentum into Thursday’sgame at Roosevelt Sept. 16.

The Wolves led off in the firstquarter with a 43-yard rushingtouchdown from Lappano. JohnKilburg knocked in a 14-yardfield goal to put Eastlake up 10-after one. Lappano scored againon a 35-yard run in the second.And, after Sam Gillis punched in

Receiver Daniel Bracin scoredthe longest touchdown of thenight, a 55-yard pass play fromquarterback Keegan Kemp.Lappano scored his third, andEastlake’s final, touchdown in theend of the third on a 31-yard run.

As if things weren’t going wellenough for Eastlake, the Wolves’defense blocked a Snohomishpunt attempt in the end zone fora safety in the fourth.

Skyline rallies

to beat BellevueDespite being down two touch-

downs early in the game, theSkyline Spartans pulled off a 28-21 win against 3A powerhouseBellevue Sept. 11 at MemorialStadium.

The Wolverines got out to a 14-0 lead after quarterback KendrickVan Ackeren ran for a 7-yardtouchdown and running back AriMorales ran in a 34-yarder.

But, with the ever-improvingsophomore quarterback, MaxBrowne, at the helm, Skylinefought back with 28 unansweredpoints in the second and thirdquarters.

The first touchdown came latein the second on a 6-yardBrowne-to-Michael Ford strike.Kasen Williams, a Washingtonrecruit, later scored on a 25-yardpass play from Browne with 12seconds remaining. The teamswere tied at the half, 14-14.

The Spartans (1-1) came outquick in the second. It scored onits first two possessions, first on a5-yard Browne pass to Ford, thenon a 2-yard Kai Jandoc run.

Bellevue answered back withone final touchdown in the

fourth when Van Ackeren sprint-ed for a 40-yard run. It was toolittle too late, though.

Skyline plays host to LakeOswego, Ore. at 7 p.m., Sept. 17.

Eastside Catholic

rolls to 2-0 The Eastside Catholic

Crusaders football teamimproved to 2-0 on the seasonafter routing Sultan 45-0 Sept. 10in Sultan. Eastside Catholicscored twice in the first quarter.They struck first on a 51-yardpass from Trey Reynolds to MattCallans. Reynolds hit receiverChevy Walker for an 81-yardtouchdown bomb with 5:22 left inthe first.

The Crusaders continued toroll in the second, when Walkerscored on a 7-yard run on first-and-goal just 30 seconds into thequarter. Kicker Danny Omiliak

sent Eastside Catholic into half-time with a 24-0 lead after hittinga 21-yard field goal with no timeleft.

how to be on swim team.”That’s one of the keys for

Eastlake’s success this season, hesaid. Their experience lets themget down to business quicker atpractice. And that will come inhandy, especially with theRedmond Pool closed untilNovember and the team only get-ting in three hours of formalearly-morning practice a week atthe Klahanie Pool.

One development Hay thinkswill pay off for the team is thehiring of assistant coach, SarahKinnear. She swam for Eastlakethrough the 2007 season andshould bring plenty of insightand experience to the program.

“She was one of my favoritesthen, and is still one of myfavorites now,” Hay said.

SkylineIf anyone rooting for the

Skyline swim and dive team wasworried the team might not be asdeep or thoroughly dominatingin 2010 as it was when it won theteam 4A state championship in2009, head coach Susan Simpkinsseemed confident the LadySpartans will remain strong.

Although it graduated statechamp and all-around power-house Andie Taylor, Skylinebrings back possibly more experi-enced young swimmers than itknows what to do with. And

while the 2009 team was 78strong, the 2010 squad has 92swimmers, six of whom aredivers, Simpkins said.

If it wasn’t enough to returnconsistent district and state win-ners Nina Zook, Meghan O’Keefeand Maria Volodkevich, Skylinebrought on former Eastlake phe-nom Katie Kinnear to begin thefall. Kinnear, who has competedamong the best youth swimmersin the world, moved into theSkyline High School attendanceboundary since the 2009 season,Simpkins said.

“She’s an all around swim-mer,” she said.

As the team is larger thanever, captains Zook, AdrianD’Alo, Kelly Freeman and JackieWoods, all seniors, will have theirhands full helping the girls stayfocused on another team statetitle. But first, they have to beatperennial powerhouse Garfieldand swim fast in the KingCo anddistrict meets.

The Lady Spartans are in goodshape after beating Issaquah 95-72 Sept. 7. There, Volodkevichswam a state-qualifying time inthe 100-meter breaststroke andO’Keefe qualified for state in the100-meter butterfly. Kinnear beata state time by more than fourseconds in the season opener,swimming the 100 butterfly in56.01 seconds.

“(The key is) staying focusedand just swimming well so wecan get to state,” Simpkins said.“If the girls stay focused, we willhave a very strong season.”
