Council just says no to collective gardens BY LINDA BALL LBALL@SAMMAMISHREPORTER.COM

BIG BANG THEORY Japanese culture lives through ancient practice BY GABRIELLE NOMURA GNOMURA@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
P
ounding their drums with wooden bachi sticks, some of the drummers in Kaze Daiko may only be in elementary school, but the sound they’re making is powerful; it shakes the dusty walls of Seattle’s Japanese Community and Cultural Center. Each of the nine members and three apprentices in Kaze Daiko, a performing youth troupe, takes a yoga-like lunge. From this position, they play the Japanese drum, or taiko. Apprentices include 8-year-old Grady Spors, who looks as if he weighs less than the chu-daiko (medium-sized drum) in front of him. The three college-age Matsudaira sisters, the most veteran members, giggle and chat between practicing songs. This Saturday, Sept. 10, the drummers will wear red happi coats and black tabi shoes when
they perform at the Aki Matsuri festival. Today, they rehearse in basketball shorts, sweatpants and T-shirts. Their head instructor, Stan Shikuma, observes from behind his spectacles, arms crossed in front of his slender frame. He approaches one of the young drummers to demonstrate a sequence she’s struggling with. It typically takes a year of weekly practice before new drummers have mastered the entire
seven-song repertory. But even before they become polished performers, just watching a rehearsal is exhilarating. Graceful as dancers, powerful as martial arts masters, the young drummers strike their instruments to achieve a sound that, at times, is as thunderous and elemental as rolling thunder. “If you’re close enough, you can literally feel the vibrations,” Shikuma said. Taiko is a synthesis of rhythm, movement and spirit – the spirit stems in part from use in Buddhist temples, Shikuma said. Drums have been used in Japan for centuries, but it’s only within the 20th century that taiko has emerged as a performing art. While benefits of being in a taiko troupe include performing at Mariners games, it also connects youth with Japanese culture – a motivating SEE BIG BANG, 9
Citing the conflict between state and federal law regarding medical marijuana Tuesday, the Sammamish City Council decided to keep an emergency ordinance it passed July 18 in place to maintain a six-month moratorium on collective gardens. A moratorium is typically valid for six months though it may be renewed with six month extensions if a public hearing is held and findings of fact are made prior to each renewal. A great deal of confusion remains related to medical cannabis. In the last legislative session Senate Bill 5073 passed the state legislature April 22 and was partially approved by the governor. Some of the changes that were approved regarding medical marijuana include; up to 10 qualifying patients may join together and have a collective garden with a maximum of 45 plants and a minimum of 15 days must elapse before a qualified provider can switch from being the provider for one patient to another qualified patient. Also, Medical marijuana gardens cannot be open to the view of the general public. Sammamish mayor Don Gerend said he hopes the medical marijuana issue will be clarified in the next legislative session. Issaquah has a similar moratorium in place. “I think Seattle has embraced this since the 60s,” Gerend quipped. Council member Nancy Whitten said she didn’t SEE GARDENS, 9

The most recent example occurred in 2010, when voters approved a levy lift for KCLS in the midst of the economic downturn. But Ptacek’s time hasn’t been free of controversy. He’s had run-ins with the library unions over the clustering of branches that forced employees to work at several different libraries. And he’s recently been

She points to his avid cycling habit as an example. A long-time bicyclist, Ptacek recently joined the Cascade Bicycle Club Board. This passion for whatever he is involved in has served Ptacek. Even now, 22 years in to his time with KCLS, Ptacek works at a library one night a week to get a hands-on feel of how things are going. “Whenever Bill gets involved in something, he does so with full energy,” Thorsen said.

ill Ptacek has always believed in the power of libraries. Growing up in Chicago, the long-time director of the King County Library System wanted to make a difference, to disseminate knowledge. Unlike others, he looked past the education field and targeted libraries as a key piece of information sharing. This passion and confidence in the potential of libraries took Ptacek all over the country, from Chicago to Idaho to Kentucky and finally to the Puget Sound area, where he has helped establish KCLS as the busiest library system in the nation. “This area’s support for libraries is incredible,” he said. “People here get it.” Since Ptacek was named the director of the system in 1989, KCLS has expanded from 30 libraries to 46, and the number of employees has quadrupled. In other states, Ptacek said, there is tenor of anti-intellectualism that can sometimes hold libraries back, financially. In Washington, voters
involved in a controversy over a decision to remove security cameras from the facilities over privacy issues when police wanted to use them to investigate a mugging outside a branch. When Ptacek took over the system in 1989, KCLS had recently won an election for a large bond issue. A rural system for much of its existence, KCLS now had to keep up with the growth of suburban cities in King County. With the increased popularity, it became difficult to move from place to place, and the need for superior local libraries became clear. The success of the system has been largely predicated on the ability to look forward. When asked about what he’s learned working in different areas of the country, Ptacek said it was so long ago that much of it isn’t relevant anymore. Libraries are ever-changing, evolving systems, he said. Rather than simply trying to keep up, KCLS has attempted to stay on the cutting edge. Ptacek said the library is no longer the be-all-end-all for research. So he adjusted to make the library a sort of community center with a

Schultz’s wake-up call Message from Starbucks’ CEO deserves attention by Congress
S
tarbucks CEO Howard Schultz has struck a strong chord in the country with his call for corporations to withhold campaign contributions from those in Congress until they get serious about fixing the deficit mess. We hope his effort continues to grow. Since starting this effort about four weeks ago, more than 100 business leaders – large and small – have signed on to Schultz’s twopart pledge: “To withhold political campaign contributions until a transparent, comprehensive, bipartisan debt-and-deficit package is reached that honestly, and fairly, sets America on a path to long-term financial health and security, and To do all we can to break the cycle of economic uncertainty that grips our country by committing to accelerate investment in jobs and hiring.” Schultz obviously has hit the bulls-eye in his comments. Just last week it was reported that employers nationwide added no new jobs in August. In fact, total payrolls were unchanged, the first time since 1945 that the government reported a Howard Schultz net job change of zero. And, the national unemployment rate stayed at 9.1 percent. “I love our country. And I am a beneficiary of the promise of America,” Schultz said in a open letter to the country. But, he continued, “I am very concerned that at times I do not recognize the America that I love.” He’s not alone. The constant bickering and backstabbing that goes on in the nation’s capital is disgusting. The word “grandstanding” doesn’t come close to political jousting among the Senate, House and the president. The net result is that it is the average American who feels the hurt and pain. People do want jobs. Sadly, many people have given up after trying month after month, only to come up empty handed. Businesses, too, suffer in this stalled economy. They can’t get credit, which means they can’t expand and hire more workers. And economists wonder why consumer confidence is so low. Big businesses like Starbucks obviously can make a big splash with this campaign. But mom-and-pop operations – and individuals, too – can do their part. When politicians come asking for contributions, keep your money in your pocket. It’s pretty obviously these days that you need it far more than they.

Gang violence? It’s here Time to work for safe, gang-free communities BY JUSTICE BOBBE J. BRIDGE (RET.) Gang violence seems to be everywhere today, even right here in our own suburban neighborhoods – and it’s mobile, moving across city borders. So, how can Eastside communities work together to deal with it? High-profile incidents involving gang violence generate most of the headlines. But the pervasive influence that gangs have on vulnerable youth can be just as dangerous as the gunfire. Once lured in as teens or even pre-teens, gang members are more likely than other kids to drop out of school, become the victims of crimes or wind up in prison. Here are just a few sobering facts: According to the FBI’s 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment, gangs are responsible for up to 80 percent of all crimes in communities across the nation today. Conservative figures from the King County Sheriff ’s Department show that gang incidents increased Bobbe Bridge by more than 5 percent from 2009 to 2010. Indications are that Seattle’s success in addressing gang issues may be driving gangs into other parts of the county. In 2008, the FBI estimated that 45 percent of all gang members in King County resided in suburban and rural areas, which often struggle to manage the unique challenges presented by gang-involved youth. These startling facts prompted the Center for Children & Youth Justice (CCYJ) to convene the Suburban King County Coordinating Council on Gangs. The council is comprised of high-level decision-makers from across south and east King County – including mayors, police chiefs and school superintendents – all committed to breaking down the systemic and procedural barriers that stand in
the way of a coordinated approach to addressing gang issues. Because CCYJ is dedicated to meaningful and lasting reforms of systems serving vulnerable children and youth, the goals for the council are multi-dimensional. Yes, law enforcement must work together to prevent and combat criminal gang activity. But we also must find better ways to intervene early and divert youth from becoming gang members. And those gang-involved youth who commit crimes must have access to a juvenile justice system that both protects society and holds youth accountable for their actions, while also addressing the unique issues that drive kids to join gangs in the first place. Research shows that many gang members grow up in abusive, neglectful or anti-social households and lack supervision, positive role models or encouragement. They also have higher rates of substance abuse and mental health issues than other teens. These are not excuses for bad behavior, but rather facts that must be addressed if our system of juvenile justice truly intends to rehabilitate, and not just punish. Relying on other successful community-based anti-gang efforts along with evidence-based guidelines from the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the council will develop and implement a comprehensive and collaborative response to suburban gang activity. Our vision is to create safe, gang-free communities, including youth who are safe, educated, connected to their families and schools, and prepared for lifelong success. If we value our youth, our communities won’t give up until we advance policies, systems and practices that will make this vision a reality.

Multicultural performers take center stage at Village Theatre BY GABRIELLE NOMURA GNOMURA@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Don Quixote was black. Jesus Christ and Belle were both Asian. While most roles are performed by white actors at Village Theatre, throughout the years, performers of color have created some memorable roles here, too. Take Jennifer Paz for example. One may remember her vivid yellow princess dress and spirited portrayal of Belle in “Beauty and the Beast,� her angelic vocals as Mary Magdalene in “Jesus Christ Superstar� or the dramatic portrayal and blonde hair as Eva Peron in “Evita.� While her Filipina heritage gave Paz an edge for ethnic roles, it hasn’t limited her to Miss Saigon, either. With a history of both authentic and non-traditional casting at Village Theatre, executive producer
Dennis Bateman (Michael), Aaron Finley (Gary), Leslie Law (Marsha), J. Reese (Jean) JAY KOH, Village Theatre
Robb Hunt says he looks for opportunities to bring in multicultural casts. As Hunt says, it’s not about affirmative action for the stage. It’s about opening doors to the best talent —
whatever skin color he or she may have. Hunt points to the theater’s recent production of “Jesus Christ Superstar� as an example, where two actors alternated the roles of Jesus/Judas. He said it didn’t make a difference that one actor was white and the other was Asian, they were each brilliant because of how they performed and the unique portrayal they brought to the roles, not because of physical appearance or features. Sometimes though, race can’t be ignored when casting a production. “In a show like ‘The King and I’ we try to create opportunities for Asian actors,� Hunt said. Similarly, race and ethnicity play an important role in Village Theatre’s next show: an original musical
developed in the Village Originals program called “Take Me America,� Sept. 14 - Nov. 20. Audiences will see a gritty, rock n’ roll tale of seven desperate refugees seeking political asylum in the United States — all of whom, are played by actors of color. The characters in the musical are people from China, Sudan, Algeria, Haiti and El Salvador. “One thing I’m really pleased about is writing a piece that, in diversity terms, covers the rainbow.
Because that’s what you see when you look at the cast,� said Bill Nabel, a former Broadway performer and the writer and lyricist behind “Take Me America.� Inspired by true stories and based on the documentary “Well Founded Fear,� the musical depicts the hardships the refugees go through and decisions made by the U.S. officials who determine their fate. The distinction between asylum and regular immigration is that people seeking asylum must prove they have a well-founded fear of persecution “It’s not a political story,� said Nabel of this, the first musical he wrote to be developed into a full-scale
production. “It’s about the heart of the people coming here. How do you live with the decisions you make? What do you leave behind in your home country? It shows a great deal of humanity and makes you re-define what it means to be American.� Ben Gonio, who plays Chinese refugee, Wu Xiao, gave Nabel some feedback on being cast in a production with diversity. “He told me how happy he was to be in a show where he finally doesn’t have to play against his ethnicity,� Nabel said.

Those words are still true – and they’re still not enough
When Johnny comes slinking home What to do when grown-up Junior wants to move back in BY BELINDA LAFFERTY CONTRIBUTOR
With jobs scarce and high student-loan debt, more college kids are moving back home after graduation. A recent study reported 10 percent of college graduates are living at home with mom and/ or dad. Additional adult children and being forced to return home when they lose a job. If you’re one of these parents, take heart, it’s a growing trend. In 1980, only 11 percent of 25-34 year olds lived in multigenerational households. By 2008, when the recession hit full force, 20 percent were, according to Pew Research Center. It’s become so common that we’ve coined a new term for
this group, boomerangers. Whatever the reason, when an adult child returns home to live, it can pose some challenges to both the parents and the child. Keep in mind your grown child is entitled to be treated as an adult, a role that includes freedoms and responsibilities. Likewise, you are entitled to respect and some measure of authority. “It’s safe to say that, in general, this is not an ideal situation for parents or child,� says Wayne Dykstra, a licensed mental health therapist with CrossPath Counseling & Consultation in Sammamish. “But, with good communication and some agreed upon guidelines, it can be an overall positive experience.� Dykstra suggests setting
clear expectations from the start and keeping communication open. “Don’t let issues fester and become bigger than they need to be,� he says. In general discuss and even write down agreements around the following: Time limit — Because the move home often is due to lack of gainful employment, you can base the time limit on when a good job is obtained, for example, six months after you get fulltime work. Goals — Is the return home due to financial reasons? Or is it due to a relationship split or lifestyle choices? Whatever the reason, it’s important to talk frankly about it and lay plans for the transition back to independence.

Rent — The returning adult child should pay rent or contribute to the household in other ways. Even if you don’t need the money, it’s good for both of you to feel there is give and take. You can always choose to set the money aside as a nest egg for when the child does move out. Chores — Whether it’s in lieu of rent or in addition, include chores as part of being a member of the household. Think roommate rather than child. Otherwise, it’s too easy to slip back into mom-takescare-of-everything mode, which does nothing to foster independence and much to breed resentment. Guests, curfews and alcohol — It’s unrealistic to set curfews for an adult, but it’s important to discuss and agree on a set of household rules, particularly when it comes to hot-button issues like coming in late night, overnight guests, relationships, alcohol or other substance use. If you can’t reach agreement, or if communication is already difficult, it may be necessary to seek the help of an expert, such as a counselor experienced in helping families navigate transitions.

I grew up in a time and a culture where sexual abuse just wasn’t talked about. No stories in the media, no calm talks with parents, no advice columns in newspapers. Thank goodness, times have changed. As a child sexual abuse survivor myself, I know how damaging it can be to children and families. I also know how important it is to have caring adults who can help children recover and – just as importantly – who can help prevent sexual abuse before it happens through actions like these: Don’t wait. Begin talking to your children about safe and unsafe touching when they are pre-schoolers. And keep the conversation going as they grow. Look for opportune moments – such as a TV movie or news story about child sexual abuse – to reinforce and remind. Avoid emphasizing only “stranger danger.� The fact is most children are sexually abused by someone they know. Let your children know it’s OK for them to tell you if someone touches them inappropriately – no matter who that person might be. Don’t just tell your kids to say No, make them
practice it. Children are conditioned not to “talk back� to adults. Help them feel comfortable by asking them to practice shouting “No!� or “Stop!� with you. Ask detailed questions of program providers. Find out how camps, sports teams, after-school activities, etc., train and screen adults who work with children. Listen to your instincts. If someone just doesn’t feel right to you, don’t risk leaving your child alone with him or her. Stay vigilant. Even when parents do everything right in talking to their kids about inappropriate touching, children can always be vulnerable to stronger, manipulative adults. Look for warning signs like sexual actingout with other children, sudden fear of people or places, or abrupt changes in behavior like bedwetting. Educate yourself. This article is just a start. Ask your child’s school or pediatrician for in-depth resources to learn more about how to talk to your children and what to watch for. Maria Chavez Wilcox is president of Childhaven.

It just got easier for police to confirm a suspect’s real identity when the person tries to use a false name. New computer capabilities now give police throughout Washington the ability to retrieve driver license photos. Police can use their in-car computer to quickly and efficiently confirm the identity of the people they contact. Previously, police officers had to rely on text descriptions of physical characteristics to make a positive identification. “This is about catching bad guys who are trying to deceive us by using fake names,� said State Patrol Chief John Batiste. “We are now able to quickly determine the real identity of these people.� A $300,000 grant through the State, Regional and Federal Enterprise Retrieval System project and from the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority has

Issaquah, Sammamish real estate markets muscle up Condo sales rise 254 percent from last August BY LINDA BALL LBALL@SAMMAMISHREPORTER.COM
August proved to be a pretty good month for real estate sales in Issaquah and Sammamish, per the latest statistics from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. Pending sales were up in both communities, with condos up whopping 254.55 percent in Issaquah - 39 condos went under contract in August compared to 11 a year ago. Overall, with single family and condos combined in Issaquah, pending sales were up 66.25 percent, with 133 contracts in August compared to 80 a year ago in August. In Sammamish, pending sales jumped 27.78 percent from 162 a year ago, to 207 contracts last month. Inventory is down as well. There are 468 total listings in Issaquah compared to 581 a year ago. Of those, 143 were new listings last month. In Sammamish, there are 881 active listings compared to 1,096 a year ago. Of those listings, 220 were new last month. The median price for single family/ condos in Issaquah is $478,500 down 3.41 percent from $495,375 a year ago. In Sammamish, the median price fell 5.09 percent from $505,733 a year ago to $480,000 last month. As far as closings in Issaquah, with residential and condos combined, there
were 118 closings last month compared to 80 in August 2010, reflecting a 47.5 percent increase. In Sammamish closings were up 17.78 percent with 159 closings last month compared to 135 a year ago. It would appear that the biggest bang for your buck in both communities is in the condo market, with the median price at $169,950 in Issaquah and $208,000 in Sammamish. Andrew Weiffenbach, broker/owner of Re/Max Exemplary in Sammamish said they actually outperformed last year in the city of Sammamish, from May through August. “The market was actually doing well until all of this problem in Europe came up,� Weiffenbach said. “If Europe didn’t happen, we would have seen appreciation in Sammamish. The market reacted so emotionally, When the news hit, I saw showings drop off.� In Sammamish, he said there are only a small number of distressed properties, but there is also a great deal of downsizing which he attributes to people making smart choices. “A lot of mature families are downsizing a little earlier than usual, they’re making conservative decisions,� he said. Weiffenbach said Sammamish single family home prices hover around roughly $200 per square foot. The NWMLS reported that August’s volume of pending sales was the highest number of mutually accepted offers since April of 2010 when the homebuyer tax incentive expired. NWMLS members added 9,128 new listings to inventory last month, the fewest since February. Reporter staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 206-232-1215 ext. 5052.

factor for those of Japanese ancestry. Especially for the group members who commute from the Eastside. With a lack of Japanese temples and community centers in Issaquah, Sammamish or Bellevue, some of these young people regularly cross the water to practice taiko in Seattle – and to stay connected to their heritage.
UNCERTAIN FUTURE Eighteen-year-old Jaymi Matsudaira of Sammamish is one of them. With her grandparents’ generation, the nisei, dying out, and an increasing number of Japanese Americans marrying people of non-Japanese ancestry, she fears the traditions are slowly fading. That’s one of the reasons it was important for Matsudaira to study Japanese language in high school and commute to Seattle with her two sisters for taiko. “I’m proud of being Japanese,� said Matsudaira, a fourth-generation American. “It gives you an identity and values: Be modest. Be
Jaymi Matsudaira of Sammamish stands with her chudaiko drum. CHAD COLEMAN , Issasquah & Sammamish Reporter humble. Persevere.� In addition to having more taiko offerings, Seattle is also where most Japanese events, such as the Bon Odori festival, take place. This may be due to a more established community, said Shikuma, who points to historically Japanese neighborhoods such as Seattle’s Beacon Hill, Rainier
Valley and the Chinatown International District, once a Japantown before World War II. With the exception of the Eastside Nihon Matsuri Association, the businesses and organizations on the Eastside often cater to Japanese nationals as opposed to Japanese Americans, he said.
Page 9
Take, for example, the Seattle Japanese School on 124th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue. In the U.S. for a limited time, businessmen send their children to the school on Saturdays so that they will be able to re-integrate into Japanese schools. That’s not to say there are no Eastside Japanese Americans. Somerset resident and lawyer, Yukio Morikubo, along with a dozen or so families in the South Bellevue area, attend Seattle Betsuin Buddhist temple – a hub for the Japanese-American community. But while he regularly visits Seattle, Morikubo said he’s been pleased with the increase of Japanese cultural offerings on the Eastside, including Uwajimaya and the Aki Matsuri festival at Bellevue College, Sept. 10-11, which includes food, crafts, martial arts demonstrations and performances. Tom Brooke, President of the Eastside Nihon Matsuri Association (ENMA), organizes Aki Matsuri. While Brooke said he may be a “hakujin� (white person), he gained a passion for Japan in his eight years of living in Kobe – where he
met his wife. Aside from people of non-Japanese ancestry, some “hapas,� mixed-race Asian or Japanese Americans, possess a cultural pride their parents or grandparents never had, due to the pressures to Americanize in the wake of World War II. “There’s a solid core group of people who are very connected to their Japaneseness,� Morikubo said, adding that some of those people are of mixed-race.
HOPE Today, the JapaneseAmerican community in Greater Seattle includes people of different backgrounds, as well as people from the city and suburbs. In the 11 years of Kaze Daiko, a quarter or more of the young drummers have come from Issaquah, Sammamish, Bellevue and Mercer Island. New generations of taiko performers will help fuel the art form, one that’s already celebrated and listened to throughout the world. “It’s kind of like jazz, which started off AfricanAmerican,� Shikuma said. “Today, people all over the world listen to and play both jazz and taiko.�

think there was a “right� course of action. “We’re in an untenable position,� she said. Council member Mark Cross said that he believes collective gardens would create a need for more police. “Gardens are very different from dispensaries that can be locked up at night,� he said. The governor vetoed provisions in the legislation regarding the licensing of producers, processors and dispensers and establishing a state registry for patients, providers and collective gardens. Her rationale was a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice that this legislation was in conflict with Federal Drug Laws and that employees of the state could be at risk of federal prosecution for aiding and abetting illegal drug possession and sale if they processed licenses for production and sale of medical cannabis under the new law.

PREP ROUNDUP SOCCER
Top ranked football foes Skyline and Bellevue collide tonight BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
High-school football matchups don’t get more marquee in Washington than Friday’s battle between Skyline and Bellevue. Since 2000, the powerhouses have combined for 13 state championships across the 4A and 3A classifications. The 3A Wolverines Max Browne hold a 6-5 all-time record against the 4A Spartans, but it’s Skyline who’s gotten the better of Bellevue the last two meetings, winning 28-21 in 2010 and 6-0 in 2007. Bellevue last beat Skyline 28-0 in 2006. “I think it’s been a fun rivalry over the years,” Bellevue coach Butch Goncharoff said. “They’ve gotten us more than anybody else and we’ve probably gotten them more than anyone else. We respect them and I think they would say the same thing about us.” Friday’s game should mirror recent Tyler Hasty matchups as both teams are considered by most media outlets to be the top two teams in their respective classifications. Skyline (1-0) defeated Liberty 62-27 in their season opener, while Bellevue (1-0) traveled to Southern California to beat Oaks Christian 31-21 in the
Mission Veijo High School Football Classic. The Spartans’ offense got off to an efficient start last week as junior quarterback Max Browne completed 16 of 18 passes for 190 yards and four touchdowns. Skyline, which was given a short field after four consecutive Liberty turnovers, also rushed for a combined 125 yards. Bellevue, which is currently ranked No. 15 in USA Today’s Super 25 Poll, was methodical behind its Wing-T offense and stingy defense. Wolverines’ quarterback Tyler Hasty rushed for 75 yards and completed 5 of 6 passes for 46 yards. He also earned two crucial interceptions on defense. Running back John Nguyen was also impressive carrying the ball 21 times for 146 yards and two TDs. “When it comes to Bellevue, we have to revamp our defense because the reads and keys are so different from a pro style or spread offense,” Skyline coach Mat Taylor said. “What makes them so much different from other Wing-T teams is they are the best at it — their fakes, the line of scrimmage and more importantly their team speed is unbelievable.” So, just how does one counter that? “The key to all victories against Bellevue is playing disciplined defense,” Taylor said. “The way they run the Wing-T is like no one else and as soon as you lose you discipline they will break a long play on you. Also for us to be successful, we have to patient on offense and eliminate turnovers.” While the two teams are in different classifications, that doesn’t diminish the
significance of Friday’s matchup. Bragging rights are on the line, and perhaps more importantly, momentum. “It is very important to develop that competitive edge that will hopefully carry us throughout the season,” Taylor said. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Spartan Stadium.
SKYLINE VS. BELLEVUE
Skyline earned a 1-0 victory over Liberty in Tuesday’s season opener. Nicole Candioglos scored the lone goal in 62nd minute via an assist from Jordan Branch. Goalkeepers Tina Vargas and Sydney Martinez combined for the shutout. Eastlake battled to a 2-2 tie with Lake Washington Tuesday night. Rebecca Priestley and Allie Garrett provided goals for the Wolves, who moved to 0-1-2 in non-league play.
VOLLEYBALL Skyline dropped its first match of the season Tuesday night, falling 3-1 to Liberty. The Patriots won 2514, 25-15, 16-25, 25-15. Halle Erdhal led the Spartans with 15 kills, 12 digs and four aces. Madison Stoa had six kills, 24 assists and two aces and Marissa Fortier had five kills and three blocks.
Kickoff: 7 p.m., Spartan Stadium

Issaquah rolls over Heritage 48-0 in season opener BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Sure, Issaquah running back Jack Gellatly would have liked more carries in Friday’s season opener. Then again, there’s no telling what that would have done to his stellar average. One game into the season and the Eagles’ elusive sophomore boasts an impressive 28 yards per carry average after rushing four times for 114 yards and two touchdowns in Issaquah’s 48-0 rout of Heritage. “It was a lot of fun,” said Gellatly, who also returned an interception 35 yards for a score. “The holes were opening up really nice. The line was on, I felt like the d-lineman were on the ground all the time.” Gellatly put Issaquah on the board one-and-a-half minutes into the game, breaking free for a touchdown on a 19yard counter left. He tacked on a 79-yard score on a similar counter play with 2 minutes remaining in the first quarter. Issaquah’s offense moved with ease the entire first half, scoring on its first four possessions. Running back Kyle Thomas added a 1-yard TD run, while quarterback Ethan Kalin (8-for-12, 123 yards) connected with Jake Bakamus on a wide receiver screen pass for a 41-yard TD. The Eagles were also handed six points via the Timberwolves’ long-snapping problems. Heritage launched the

ball over punter Houston Dillard’s head on three occasions — all resulting in safeties. Junior returner Reed Peterson added insult to injury after the first safety returning the ensuing kickoff 83 yards for a touchdown.
The bad snaps and several negative carries left Heritage with nearly unheard of minus 53 yards in the first half. They ended the game with just 22 total yards. Issaquah, which led 48-0 at halftime, rested its starters the entire second half. Head coach Chris Bennett was impressed with the start his team got off to. “For our first time out it was pretty good,” he said. “Our kids do a good job of not getting too high or too low. We have another big one here next week against Liberty.” Gellatly concurred with his coach. “It’s definitely a confidence booster,” he said. “It’s a good way to start the season. You know, you’re always kind of unsure coming into the first game of what you got. I think we’re happy with what we did, we weren’t perfect, we made a lot of mistakes, but we got it done.” The Eagles ended the game with 339 yards of total offense, only throwing the ball once in the second half. Issaquah hosts Liberty next at 7 p.m., tonight.

to take a 62-21 lead. Browne ended the game with four TD passes and seven different Skyline players scored.
Trailing 21-14 in the second quarter, the Spartans kicked things into gear in the final two minutes of the first half. Nic Sblendorio tied the game on a 13yard run. Skyline then forced two turnovers in the finals minutes, capping them off with a 23-yard TD pass from Max Browne to Taggart Krueger and a 1-yard TD pass from Browne to Krueger. The score came with 22 seconds left in the half and gave the Spartans a 35-21 lead. The Spartans continued to roll in the second half, scoring 48 unanswered points
EASTLAKE OUTRUNS C-K Eastlake earned redemption from its season opening loss to Central Kitsap last season, routing the Cougars 35-14 Friday in Silverdale. Running back Ryan Lewis scored on runs of 81 and 92 and 1 yard, finishing with 204 total yards on 12 carries. Quarterback Keegan Kemp completed 11 of 21 passes for 215 yards and two TDs. He hit Zac Lucarelli for a 40-yard TD and Brian Quick for an 11-yard score. Quick

QFC SUPPORTS THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST
QFC’s Check Stand Charity of the Month Program raises funds for local non-profit organizations and also is designed to help educate our customers and the community about the great work that is being done right here in Western Washington. This summer, our customers have really shown their support – by raising almost $15,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs in June, over $24,000 for the USO in July and by making significant donations to Seattle Children’s Hospital in August. Beginning September 4th, QFC is partnering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) as our Check Stand Charity of the Month. LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. It funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.

Today, with the help of major fundraising campaigns, including Team in Training, the world’s largest endurance sports training program, and Light the Night Walk, LLS has awarded more than $750 million in research funding since the first funding in 1954.
Effective Date: September 4, 2011 - October 1, 2011

Woman caught in un ‘safe’ scam BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAH-REPORTER.COM
The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah police reports: An acquaintance called foul on a woman who reported a missing safe that had about $4,000 in Oxycodone pills Aug. 28. The woman told police that in a rush, she accidentally left her house unlocked. She called the neighbors to have them lock it up for her. She then said when she returned, the safe was missing. Police made careful to note that nothing else, such as televisions, had been taken from the home on the 200 block of Mountain Park Boulevard Southwest. Still, they searched the neighbors house without avail. The next day the acquaintance told police that she had done the same thing six months ago, hiding the safe at her ex-husbands home. She told police it was a scam to get a new prescription for the pills, because she had run out. Police found a report from the incident she described, where the woman had told police she needed the report to get more pills. Brand new school vandalized – Someone did a $1,000
POLICE BLOTTER in damage to the brand New Issaquah High School, before the school even held its first class. The project manager reported to police that someone uprooted copper wire along Second Avenue Southeast, cutting it, but then leaving it on top of a ditch Aug. 22. The wires were a part of the school’s irrigation system. It will cost the contractors about $1,000 to fix the wires or about $3,500 to replace them. There was no security at the worksite. Tomatoes – A woman was driving along 1600 NE Park Dr. when a tomato was lobbed at her windshield Aug. 28. Police checked the car for damage of which there was none. Police thought the assailants might be connected to another “tomatoing�.
Truck burns – A semi truck and trailer were set ablaze on the eastbound I-90 on-ramp from Front Street North Aug. 26. Eastbound I-90 was temporarily shutdown while Eastside Fire and Rescue put out the blazes, and police made sure there weren’t any hazmat placards on the truck. Bar fight – When a bartender tried to stop a fight from breaking up in a tavern on Front Street North, she was assaulted herself. Someone grabbed her wrist and twisted it Aug. 13. She told the man she was going to call police, when he left on a foot. She was able to identify the man in a police photo montage, but police didn’t know who he was.
