The City Council on Feb. 7 selected a bridge instead of a culvert to cross the North Fork of Issaquah Creek as part of its Issaquah-Fall City Road project. Construction for the bridge portion of the project is expected to begin in June 2018 and last 14 months, with flaggers directing traffic. The bridge is part of a larger Issaquah-Fall City Road improvement project that will widen the corridor between 242nd Avenue Southeast to Klahanie Drive Southeast. The project includes adding a lane in both directions with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes. The construction for the entire project is expected to require 24 months, and the night’s decision did not affect the total duration of the project. The bridge is estimated to cost $8.38 million, $1.5 million more than a culvert, the City SEE BRIDGE, PAGE 6 BY GREG FARRAR | gfarrar@sammamishreview.com

“His dog is so goofy,” said Joshua Snyder, who worked with Radcliffe in the kitchen. “I’ve seen that dog take out Mo like three times, just running through his legs. They were inseparable.” Snyder and Radcliffe

became good friends over the last few months. They played poker together, hung out away from work and enjoyed general “bro time,” Snyder said. The fast friends also bonded over their love for “SpongeBob

SquarePants.” “He’s one of the few friends I have that we can quote the entire first five years of ‘SpongeBob’ like word-for-word, every episode, up until the ‘SpongeBob’ movie. After that, the episodes

He saw Radcliffe as a “friend for life,” someone he could always depend on. “It’s been really sad,” Snyder said. “We were peas in a pod.” Fellow Issaquah graduate Zaviar Brown trained Radcliffe when he first started, and the duo often worked side-by-side on busy nights. Brown originally had the day off on Tuesday, but he and others rearranged schedules so they could make sure it was all hands on deck to honor Radcliffe at the restaurant on Feb. 7. “Mo was always able to make people laugh and never hurt anyone,” Brown said. Triboulet said she was watching the news when she learned her co-worker was killed. It left her heartbroken, but she’s happy to have the image of his wide grin forever emblazoned in her mind. “He had the nicest, brightest, flashiest smile, no matter what, no matter how busy, no matter how chaotic it was,” she said. “He was always smiling. That will never leave me.”

Tough love: Keeping up with Klahanie’s MMA couple BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@sammamishreview.com

Amy Montenegro made local headlines back in 2013 when her then boyfriend Dex proposed to her in the ring right after winning a mixed martial arts fight. Amy was again in the headlines Jan. 14, this time nationally after winning an MMA pro fight of her own despite getting choked out unconscious. “That was crazy, one of those things,” Amy said from her Klahanie home. “I remember flying home on the airplane afterwards and thinking ‘Did all that really happen? In one fight?’ It hadn’t really registered yet. So much happened. I didn’t realize there’d be such an explosion on social media.” The Invicta FC straw weight, 115-pound fight pitted Amy “The Resurrection” against Celine Haga in a memorable, back-and-forth affair wracked by two controversies at the bell. In the first round, Amy appeared to apply an arm bar that forced Haga to “tap out,” which normally would mean admitting defeat to get the hold released and the referee to stop the match. However, the tap occurred right as the bell rung, ending the round and forcing the Amy to release the hold and continue fighting into the second round. The tables were turned

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

On Further Review

I’ve always been drawn to crafting a good question

o, here we are. The penultimate On Further Review. How did we get here? That’s a good ques-

tion. I say we, and not I, for as long as I’ve been here, there is no me without you, dear reader. Sharing stories with you is what has kept me here going into my 18th year. Through boom times and turbulent times, there is always a tale to tell, a picture to paint, a blank to fill to keep readers feeling involved in their community. It has been my privilege to be that conduit between the known and unknown. I know how I got here. Authors write of decision points in their lives that led them down certain paths that culminate in their current situation. My first decision point that without a doubt knocked into

motion all the other dominoes that led to employment with The Issaquah Press was in David Hayes 10th grade. Fulfilling a graduation requirement, I sat bored out of my mind in chemistry, knowing to the core of my soul I would never, ever, use this information again in my life. So I dropped it at the semester. I had the highest grade of anyone dropping it, a B, but I wouldn’t let the teacher talk me out of it. Among the available classes to substitute into fifth period for the rest of the year was journalism. Hmmm, I thought. I like writing. I’ll give that a try. Loved it. Learning the ins and outs of

the basics of writing for a newspaper fascinated me. So I joined the school paper the next year and off I went down the career path that led here. But how did I succeed in bringing you along with me on this journey? That’s a good question. I say that because it’s also the answer. In countless interviews when I’ve had the honor of listening to your stories to recount for others, what I thought was a simple inquiry that often made subjects pause, gather their thoughts, and say, “That’s a good question.” When I endeavor to relay your story to the rest of our readers, they don’t want to hear what they already know about you. That’s why over the years so many of you sought out the Sammamish Review. What do we know that you don’t? What can we uncover that

you cannot? It’s a symbiotic relationship that begins with a well-structured question that gets you to open up beyond the basic who, what, when, why and how. My absolute, favorite moment during an interview was with hydroplane racer Nate Brown. He was building his own hydroplane from scratch out of his enormous garage in Preston. In the midst of the routine questions of why he was doing the project, I had an epiphany — he was just like the guys I knew back in high school who purchased an old, ratty pickup and restored them back to life. So I pounced on that thought. “You restored an old pickup when you were in high school, didn’t you?” I asked. A wondrous, blank look fell across his face. “How did you know?” he finally asked.

That’s a good question. We then chatted about his pickup project, how it paralleled his current hydroplane build, and that became the lede for my feature story about him and how history was repeating itself. The Sammamish Review has had many talented writers over the years who’ve coaxed the interesting out of the mundane. It’s been an honor to have worked alongside them — too many to list here. They know who they are. And you, the reader, know too. Where shall you go next in your quest of the unknown? That too is a good question. Email reporter David Hayes at dhayes@sammamishreview.com.

Guest opinion

Disclosing public records is a core duty of government, not a burden By the Editorial Board of The Seattle Times

With citizens becoming more civically engaged and fearful of tyranny, public agencies should be increasing transparency. So it’s troubling that numerous bills proposed by Washington legislators this year would whittle away the state’s Public Records Act, putting more information offlimits and increasing the cost of obtaining records. They include new fees that would slightly increase agencies’ revenue but reduce acces-

sibility of records belonging to the public. Not a good trade off. Agencies have legitimate concerns about rising costs to duplicate and share records. The vast majority of record requests are simple. But agencies do receive some that are voluminous and occasionally malicious, such as requests for every document they possess. Still, lawmakers must avoid responding to anecdotes about anomalies with rules penalizing everyone. Disclosing records is a core duty, not a burden to be mitigated. Lawmakers should drop per-

SAMMAMISH

minute charges for audio and video files that are proposed. This extra layer of fees may make it prohibitively expensive to obtain such files. A provision allowing agencies to impose “customized service charges” is problematic. It’s vague enough that such charges could be used to gouge or dissuade requests they dislike. Especially concerning is a section of HB1594 enabling agencies to push requests to mediation, if they decide requests are unclear or dispute their validity. This could force citizens to spend thousands of

dollars on lawyers. If agencies are struggling to promptly produce records, start by improving their workflow, forms and filing. As records are generated, they should be stored in ways anticipating

disclosure. This could increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. Now more than ever, agencies must be making factual information easier to obtain, not harder.

Shoreline Master Plan expedited

JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE DOCUMENTARY:

BY LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com

Foregoing its standard rules, the City Council quickly approved updates to the Shoreline Master Program during the first and final reading of the ordinance during a Feb. 8 meeting. In the unanimous vote, councilmembers cited concerns with King County’s project widening the East Lake Sammamish Trail. Many trailside owners are fighting the county over the expansion of the trail, arguing over land ownership. Councilmember Ramiro Valderrama asked his fellow councilmembers to waive the regular City Council practice of multiple readings of the ordinanace and instead adopt it that night. He said there was

Council’s other option. The culvert would have required 85 percent more truckloads than a bridge to bring in fill to decrease the slope of the land. The construction length for the culvert was expected to take four months with a total road closure, while the bridge construction would be over three times as long but would allow traffic to

time sensitivity for the passage of the ordinance, which would give more ability for staff to respond to issues relating to trail construction. Jeff Thomas, the city’s director of community involvement, concurred with Valderrama, pointing to the many comments received by the city from citizens about the trail project. “For council’s sake, for the citizens’ sake, and having this process changed, moved forward and hopefully get final approval, it would be a good thing for the city,” Thomas said. The city submitted new amendments to the Shoreline Master Program to the state Department of Ecology for review and approval in June 2013. After a long discussion, the state and

the city reached a compromise. Thomas called the code amendments “pretty simple.” He told the council it was the city staff’s recommendation to pass the ordinance, which would divorce all references to isolated wetlands from shoreline regulations. “That will enable us to get all of the SMP (Shoreline Master Program) amendments approved finally, get Ecology’s final approval and we all can move on to something else,” Thomas said. He said the amendment was not removing the isolated wetland and the pilot program entirely from the code. “We aren’t removing it from the code completely, just from the shoreline regulatory area,” Thomas said.

move through. Councilmember Ramiro Valderrama was the dissenting voice in the 6-1 vote, pointing to the difference in the length of the projects. “Given that the cost is lower, given that the duration is lower for this project, I think it behooves us to go with the culvert option for our citizens,” Valderrama said. Councilmember Christie Malchow equivocated the road project to a headache. “You are either going

to have a mild headache for a long time, or a bad headache for a short time. Either way it’s painful, but it has to be done,” Malchow said. Malchow said after posing the bridge or culvert question to constituents on Facebook, “everyone said they wanted a bridge because it didn’t require a full closure.” Other councilmembers cited seismic issues, environmental impacts and reduced truck loads for preferring the bridge option.

‘Star Wars’ sounds at frozen Beaver Lake BY JANE GARRISON March and April may be lambs and lions, but this January is a polar bear. The bright sunshine and shocking blue sky are wonderful, but I don’t think my plants like it as much as I do. The curling, wilted rhododendrons grab my attention. I feel sorry for them. My Japanese aucuba looks like kale that’s been in the freezer, but it always recovers. Which plants might not make it? I don’t know. My neighbor, Portia, is a master gardener, and we decided to brave the elements and walk the neighborhood to check it out. There is so much to see and experience in all seasons. It opens up your eyes to a reassuring world hiding behind the digital one we have created. But instead of looking, we chatted; we covered everything from our Toastmasters’ club, to kids, to the education system and politics. But when we got to Beaver Lake, our chatting stopped, and we took notice. There was not a soul around. The lake was frozen solid, quiet and peaceful. It commanded our attention. The sun was low, the sky was shocking blue and the ice was brilliant silver. It was an amazing sight that would’ve stopped anyone in their tracks. We stood in awe for several minutes. Then we heard something that sounded like a “Star Wars” ray gun in the distance.

BY SYLVIA GUERRA

Ice covers the surface of Beaver Lake during the region’s cold snap this winter.

We ignored it, thinking it might be construction or a garbage truck. Then we heard it again from the north. Another shot

rang out closer. Then one with a higher pitch shot out from the east. To the south there were a couple more, each with their

own pitch and duration. They started to increase in frequency, faster and faster, in all tones until many went off together in an explosive sound. I came here to escape the digital world. Was this “Star Wars” happening all over again? Or were the neighborhood kids out here en masse with their Christmas presents? It was loud. It was amazing. It was beautiful. Why didn’t I know about it before? We looked it up when we got home. I didn’t know about it because conditions have to be just right for it to happen. Snow on the top of ice muffles the noise, and there was no snow. The ice had different exposures to the sun and the variation in temperature across it, makes this phenomenon happen. Check out popularmechanics.com/science/ environment/a22301/frozenlake-star-wars, but it’s not nearly as impressive as the real thing. When we took our walk last Tuesday, I thought I was escaping the electronic world and discovering the beauty of nature in the dead of winter. Amazingly, I was thrown right back into the electronic age with ray guns and everything. Get out and walk in this dry, beautiful but frigid weather, and be blown away by the unexpected.

Eastlake struggles early, overpowers Issaquah late at KingCo girls basketball tournament BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com

Eastlake was a sizable favorite against Issaquah going into their Feb. 9 girls basketball playoff game, but things didn’t go according to plan in the first half. A mountain of missed layups and free throws at Eastlake’s end – and a tenacious, confident effort from Issaquah – kept the teams separated by only one point at the halftime break. Sixth-seeded Issaquah took a brief lead early in the third quarter, but third-seeded Eastlake found its rhythm and ended the Eagles’ season at the Class 4A KingCo Conference tournament. The Lady Wolves (17-6 overall) finished the third quarter on a 21-2 surge and got big performances from stars Gina Marxen, Cameron Edward and Keeli Burton for a 67-38 triumph in a loser-out contest at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland.

on to play No. 2 seed Woodinville on Feb. 11. The Falcons, using a late 3-pointer, won 64-62 to clinch a spot in the Feb. 16 tournament title game. Eastlake still has a chance to return to the regional round of 16, and faces plateau rival Skyline in a loser-out game at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 16. The Eagles (8-13), who had to win a Feb. 4 tiebreaker game against Newport just to get into the postseason, were buzzing around the court for the first two-and-a-half quarters as Eastlake’s normally potent offense was held in check. Eastlake won the two regular-season

matchups easily (74-42 and 58-35) but it seemed Issaquah was ready to make it a four-quarter fight with both teams’ seasons on the line. “They played aggressive, physical defense and they’ve got some really talented players,” Eastlake coach Sara Goldie said. “They pushed us hard in that first half and we knew, second half, we had to really stick to the game plan and take care of it.” Junior guard Maya Witherspoon, who scored a season-high 20 points for Issaquah, said her team’s fire was doused as Eastlake’s lead grew. SEE EASTLAKE, PAGE 12

Teams that are desperate to keep their season alive often play to the best of their abilities and the Inglemoor Vikings seemed to be that kind of team on Feb. 9. Fifth-seeded Inglemoor went 5-9 during the Class 4A KingCo Conference season, four games behind fourth-seeded Skyline. But two earlier games between the teams were close – Skyline won by three and 12 points – and records meant little when they met in a loser-out playoff game. Skyline responded to every challenge Inglemoor threw down and emerged with a 65-60 victory in the first round of the KingCo girls basketball tournament at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland. The Spartans (14-7 overall) moved into the double-elimination portion of the tournament on Feb. 11, where they lost to top-seeded Bothell, 63-58. The Cougars (19-2) are the top-ranked 4A team in the Washington

Interscholastic Activities Association’s ratings percentage index. Skyline still has a chance to reach the regional round of 16 but must beat plateau rival Eastlake at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at Lake Washington. Eastlake has won all three matchups against Skyline this season. The winner gets Bothell or Woodinville at 6 p.m. Feb. 18 for KingCo’s No. 2 seed to regionals. Senior wing Kailey Kassuba, who had a strong all-around game against Inglemoor (15 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three steals), said the Spartans are at their best when they put other teams under pressure and have good ball movement. Kassuba referred specifi-

cally to a 10-0 run early in the second quarter. Senior post Gina Grossi beat the first-period buzzer with a rare 3-point try, giving her team a one-point lead, and that sparked a scoring burst led by Kassuba, Jade Loville and relentless fullcourt pressure. “We always get our energy from our press,” Kassuba said. “It just kind of sparks everything for us … Talking is our biggest thing. We have to make sure we’re communicating and once we start communicating, we get those steals, we get those easy passes and those buckets.” But Inglemoor came storming back and tied the score on a Lucy Young SEE SKYLINE, PAGE 12

Skyline, Eastlake wrestlers qualify nine to Mat Classic

Skyline finishes second, Eastlake fourth at district swim meet

BY NEIL PIERSON

THIS WEEK

Kenta Despe didn’t want to feel the sting of disappointment again. As a freshman at Skyline, Despe was an alternate to Mat Classic. He had to watch from the stands as other wrestlers – including many he had beaten – competed on the state’s biggest stage. Not again. Despe sewed up his trip to Mat Classic XXIX during the Region II championships, Feb. 11 at Skyline, with a secondplace finish at 113 pounds. He opened regionals with an 11-5 decision over Kentlake’s Robert Ashabraner and clinched a berth with a narrow win over Kentwood’s Steven Bounyavong, 10-8. Despe, who will take on Mikah Fathers of Auburn Riverside in a first-round match at state, led a parade of four first-time qualifiers for the Spartans. Teammates Cole Turner (113), Nick Beatty (195) and Matt Oss (220) will be making their debuts, while Scott Huff (138) is going for a second time. Chris Harper (182) is an alternate. And Despe exuded excitement after beating Bounyavong. “Last year, this was the point where I failed and I don’t really take failure that easily,” Despe said. “I don’t think many people do. But I think I put in enough effort this year and last year … I think, finally, it’s all coming to bear fruit.” Despe lost the regional final to Tahoma’s Austin Michalski, 10-4, but the semifinal victory over Bounyavong sealed his SCOTT Z.noPROOF.SR.CMYK. fate.

wasn’t as close as the twopoint margin suggested. “I never really actually felt I was in danger – maybe in the second period when he had his legs in deep – but other than that, I felt I was in control most of the time,” he said. “When he did put his legs in, I felt like I was keeping down pretty well and he couldn’t turn me. We just kept rolling around and I think the thing that made me win the match was that I was able to reverse him multiple times.” South Puget Sound League powers Tahoma and Kentwood dominated at regionals, finishing first and second, respectively, and qualifying 27 individuals for the Class 4A state meet. The top four finishers at each weight moved on to Mat Classic. Skyline scored 80 points for fourth place, while Eastlake was eight with 45 points, earning three berths and one alternate’s spot.

EASTLAKE From Page 10

“I think we just lost our energy,” Witherspoon said. “Once we got down by a certain amount of points, we didn’t think we could get back up, so we just lost focus and couldn’t come back from it.” Marxen, who finished with 25 points to lead all scorers, had nine in the first quarter as Eastlake took a comfortable lead, 17-9. The Lady Wolves had numerous chances to extend the lead in the second quarter, repeatedly getting second and third shots on offensive rebounds. But their layups didn’t fall and getting to the free-throw line didn’t help either as they shot 3 for 15 there in the opening half. Baskets from Witherspoon and Lucy Stewart tied the score at 21 and only a late free throw from Elizabeth Chen was enough to put

Eastlake in front at half. Goldie, however, stayed positive because her team was creating quality scoring chances and playing well defensively. She simply wanted the Wolves to reduce their turnovers and to keep attacking the basket. “We knew what the foul situations were,” she said. “We made sure we gave ourselves the best chance to kind of extend the lead a little bit there. “We were trying to go at players and we went at Mariah (Van Halm). She’s a great player. We knew if we got her on the bench, we had a better chance at extending the lead and that’s just what happened.” Van Halm picked up her fourth foul at the 6-minute mark of the third quarter. And the Wolves promptly took advantage, taking a 12-point lead on a Marxen 3-pointer, Chen’s driving layup and Burton’s post-up off a feed from Mackenzie Feinglas.

Burton and fellow forward Stacie Keck took over in the second half for Eastlake, finishing near the rim and slowing Issaquah’s dribble drives. And Goldie credited Marxen’s defensive prowess on Stewart, who came in averaging better than 15 points per game. Stewart scored only six, the third time this season that Eastlake kept her in single digits. “Those six points she got, I felt like, were a lot more than six points,” Goldie said of Stewart. “She took the ball to the hoop with authority. She’s going to be a talented little player. She’s fun to watch.” Witherspoon and the Eagles had an abbreviated playoff run but figure to be sharper in year two under coach Jackie Bykonen. They’ll lose only one player, Raiya Mastor, to graduation. “From the beginning, it was just really hard for all us because it’s a new team and a new coach,” Witherspoon said. “But throughout the season, I think we’ve adapted and we’ve come close as a team. And we’ve improved a lot.”

with strong passing and rebounding. Skyline grabbed a two-possession lead with under five minutes to play when Alexa Kirton found Kassuba for a back-door layup. Despite some missed free throws in the final minute, Inglemoor never got closer than three points and Carly Werner cemented the result with two foul shots in the final five seconds. Loville continued her torrid junior season, scoring a game-high 22 points to go along with six rebounds and two steals. Junior guard Julia Mitchell had 14 points and four

assists. Kassuba, Loville and Mitchell have been Skyline’s most consistent scoring threats and all of them average double digits. Kassuba said that trio is good at creating their own shots but the win over Inglemoor was emblematic of the team’s unselfish attitude. “We just kind of found the little things and when something was working, we would try to go to it more,” she said. “And we didn’t care who the person was – if they were scoring, they were scoring and we just kind of tried to do it collectively.”
