A SAFER SAMMAMISH

All commissioned officers to be equipped with defibrillators by the end of June

BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

O

ver the last year, Sammamish police officer Eric Lux went on four calls where medics were required to use an Automatic External Defibrillator.

On two of those occasions, Lux, who wasn’t yet equipped with an AED, arrived before EMTs. “It was only about a minute, but there are opportunities where we can get there ahead of (aid),” he said. “A minute could make a huge difference.”

That’s the idea behind the Sammamish Police Department’s new program, which has equipped 17 officers with AEDs — portable electronic devices that help manage life-threatening cardiac complications.

In a partnership with King County Emergency Services, the King County Sheriff ’s Office distributed 53 of the devices between all its offices at the beginning of the year.

“Being able to show up and use an AED when someone is in cardiac arrest is like snatching life from the jaws of death.”

- Bryan Howard, KCSO Sammamish received two of those AEDs through the grant and has since purchased 15 more at $940 apiece. The city, which approved funds for the devices in its budget, recently ordered five more. By the end of June all of Sammamish’s 22 commissioned staff will have AEDs. Bryan Howard, a captain and EMS coordinator with the King County Sheriff ’s Office, is in charge of the program. He said the AED program for police officers has been around for several years and it was important for the KCSO

to jump on board.

“Being able to show up and use an AED when someone is in cardiac arrest is like snatching life from the jaws of death,” Howard said.

The largest obstacle was merging dispatch.

Howard said that previously medical calls were strictly sent to EMS. Now police officers stay on the line to see if they can assist with CPR. “Because the fire department was dispatched on a different frequency police often would see a firetruck go flying by and have no clue where they were going,” Howard said. “Now we’re all on the same page.”

It takes an hour of training to learn how to use the AEDs, which are designed to be user friendly. A simple push of the start button will let the user know if shock is advised or if CPR should be continued. It also provides a beat rhythm to help with CPR. While no Sammamish officers have had to use the devices yet, they are ready.

“We’re cops, we love tools,” Lux said. “Essentially it’s another tool we get to use out on the job.”

The addition of AEDs in the police department is something welcomed with open SEE LIFE SAVERS, 13

An Issaquah School District bus driver and former science teacher at Eastside Catholic School has been charged with possessing and distributing child pornography.

Police arrested Andrew Bernard Rekdahl on May 10, after federal agents determined that he was downloading the videos and photos from his Carnation home, according to the charging papers.

Homeland Security investigators told the district that they did not believe Rekdahl did anything illegal or inapAndrew Rekdahl propriate while he was driving bus routes.

In January, undercover agents contacted Rekdahl online after discovering he had a folder with the pornography available for download.

Swiftwater ready Teen charged in groper case Eastside firefighters prepare for summer water rescues

Just weeks before Memorial Day, which has been marked over the years by river drownings, Eastside Fire and Rescue technicians were out in frigid waters practicing their swift-water skills.

About 25 firefighters completed training on the Snoqualmie River, where they learned everything from how to use pulleys to carry someone across a river to how to navigate the waters. The training had firefighters take an exhilarating swim and float down the rapids.

The training also allows emergency responders to practice using tools and techniques in real-time scenarios.

In the summer months, EF&R responds to more water rescues, many of which end up in tragedy.

Strong currents, cold water and hidden debris prove to be dangerous to swimmers and boaters.

Courts deciding whether to charge suspect as an adult BY celeste gracey cgracey@issaquahreporter.com

A 16-year-old Eastlake student accused of attacking a woman and a child last week was charged with indecent liberties and immoral communication with a minor.

A judge has yet to decide whether the teen will be tried as an adult or in juvenile court. The Reporter doesn’t name juvenile defendants.

A 10-year-old was walking home alone when the suspect approached her, grabbed her from behind and touched her May 7. He then said something sexually inappropriate, according to the charging papers.

The girl tried to bite the teen’s arm and kick him. She yelled, told him she had a phone and that she was going to call for help. When he let go, the girl then ran to the nearest house and banged on the door.

The neighbor let the girl in and called her father.

About 3-4 hours later the sheriff ’s office

Using the name “Hboyandy,” prosecutors say he handed over the password to the folder.

Police tracked him using his IP address and discovered he was the only one who had access to that Internet account.

A search of his home turned up 194 child-pornography related files that included boys ages 3 to 13. When police arrested him at his work, he admitted to downloading and distributing the illegal material, according to the papers.

The district is still reviewing all the bus security videos. He was hired as a substitute driver in November, although didn’t begin driving students on his own until February.

When the district hired Rekdahl, he was cleared through mandatory state and federal background checks. The district never received complaints or concerns about him.

In 2010 Rekdahl went through surgery for intestinal cancer, and students raised $17,000 to help pay medical bills. He also worked a brief stint at St. Joseph’s School.

This time the suspect was waiting inside the home on 240th Way Southeast, Sammamish. The woman had just set her groceries down, when someone forcibly grabbed her from behind, according to the papers.

She screamed and the suspect ran. He was wearing a mask, but she saw his skin color from his shorts. After making sure she was safe, a neighbor got a description of the suspect and found him in a nearby area “acting suspicious.” He took a photo of the teen, according to the papers.

Because the teen entered the home, he was also charged with first degree burglary.

Police identified the student from the photo. He admitted to wearing the clothes described by the victims and to “bumping” into the girl and the woman.

KOMEN ISSUE

Don’t let anger be a deadly choice

T

he Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization did itself a lot of damage nationally with its attempt to pull funding from Planned Parenthood. Locally, the ramifications are being felt as registration for the Race for the Cure event is down by 44 percent.

Those who haven’t signed up as in years’ past may want to make a point, but it’s one that’s hurting women – and men – who benefit from the money Komen raises to fight breast cancer.

About 75 percent of the funds raised by Komen Puget Sound stay here to provide services to underserved and low-income women in Western Washington. The remaining 25 percent goes to fund global research for the cure. None of the funds raised locally support the national Komen organization’s salaries or expenses.

The numbers show the need. Last year, Komen Puget Sound funded 13,000 mammograms through the Washington State Department of Health. Those mammograms discovered breast cancer among 209 women.

There’s no question the race has helped local women. When treated early, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 98 percent, but later detection drops this to just 23 percent.

Lynda Weatherby, a mom in Sammamish, knows that all-to-well. It’s now been 11 years that her cancer has been in remission, but the she remembers that scary time.

“Getting breast cancer is hard. It’s scary, and there’s no answer to why it happens,” Weatherby said. “One year after I was diagnosed, I told myself I was fine, but still felt raw inside.”

For the past four years she’s been involved in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and this is her second year as a volunteer co-chair.

The Race for the Cure will be on June 3. There’s still time for people to sign up and help what is not only a worth cause, but also one that can be a matter of life and death.

Go to www.komenpugetsound.org/komen-race-forthe-cure where you can sign up to race or walk – or help out in any of a number of capacities. Doing so could – and likely will – save a life.

Don’t let college graduation suck

C

ollege is fantastic. You live with your friends, study what you enjoy and soak in opportunity like a sunny day in May. Graduating college, however, sucks.

It’s like engagement without a wedding date. People quickly wonder when you’re going to land that first job.

Expectations mount.

College acceptance letters are undoubtedly flooding the mailboxes of accomplished students this month.

Congratulations, their first milestone was a success.

However, what most counselors haven’t told our seniors is that college isn’t always worth it, especially when it means graduating tens of thousands of Celeste Gracey dollars in debt with little prospect for high-wage jobs.

They also won’t tell you that even after four more years of education, most graduates will end up in the same place they started – living in their parents’ basements, unemployed or both. Studies still show that the long-term benefits of college pay out, but today that doesn’t come as easy.

Tuition prices have doubled in the past decade, and heavy unemployment has thousands of college graduates floundering in the real world. I’ve had some colleagues pursue masters degrees, furthering their debt, because they couldn’t find a real job.

I was fortunate enough to catch on to my own blinded views about college bills my freshman year, but not without a lesson learned.

Out of high school, I could have attended any of Washington’s public universities, but I chose a small private college in Portland.

I loved the intimate classrooms and tight-knit community. But a semester in, I began to weigh the cost. To stay in Portland would have meant $50,000 in debt. If I

had chosen computer science or physics, I think I could have swallowed the debt, but (with some exceptions) most journalists aren’t paid much.

So I left the school mid-year and signed up for community college. It was humbling to be in class with Running Start students, but the $3,000 tuition was something my parents and I could afford out of pocket.

My planning didn’t stop there. That first quarter I met with a University of Washington admissions counselor.

When the time came, I had the grades and the prerequisites to make an easy transfer. My entire time in school, I lived at home to avoid dorm fees and costly meal plans.

When I graduated, my only debt was from Portland.

Now a tough word for high school seniors – as tickled as your parents are, your numerous high school accomplishments amount to little in the working world. (This is from someone who graduated with a 3.95 GPA, 1240 out of 1600 on the SATs, numerous extra curriculars and volunteerism.)

In college, high marks can be even less important. You’re better off perfecting a skill or networking. (My first editor couldn’t have cared less about my GPA. He just wanted to know if I could write.) If you’re headed toward a career in liberal arts, let go of your academic pride, and consider a more affordable route to a diploma. College will enlighten you, but it can leave you broke.

Before buying into the glossy pamphlets from your dream university, take the time to estimate your probable debt. Consider the monthly payments. Then take a look at you’re starting pay at the careers your considering.

Work out a budget, before you even decide your major.

It might cause you to reconsider that private school or paying out-of-state tuition. College is wonderful. But make sure graduation doesn’t suck.

Sammamish passes longterm parks plan KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

After years of discussion, Sammamish has approved a long-term Parks, Recreation and Operations plan.

On Monday, the City Council unanimously voted to give the go-ahead to the detailed plan that acts as a rough draft for Sammamish’s park development goals through 2018.

“I think while we’re thanking the staff and the commission, we should also be thanking the citizens for their input on the PRO plan over the last several years,” councilman Don Gerend said.

The PRO plan provides an updated inventory of changes over the last six years, looks to the public to project future needs and prioritizes upcoming projects through a Capital Improvement Plan that must be adopted by the City Council. The CIP looks at the approximate $1.5 million a year the city receives a year to spend on parks — money it obtains from real estate excise taxes and fees

from developers.

Sammamish, which started PRO plan discussions in 2010, was working under a plan adopted in 2004. The new plan means the city complies with the Growth Management Act and is eligible for state grants. PRO plans must be updated every six years for cities to maintain that status.

Parks commissioners applauded the approval of the plan Monday, noting they support the council’s desire to maintain urban forests, keep the much-talked about community aquatics center in the forefront, investigate the feasibility of a field house and focus on trail connectivity.

“Our parks system is one of the reasons this community is attractive as it is to people on the outside coming in,” Mayor Tom Odell said. “It’s also one of the reasons our property values are as high as they are.”

More information on the PRO plan can be found at www.ci.sammamish.wa.us/ departments/parksandrec/ OpenSpacePlan.aspx.

AROUND TOWN County honors ISD’s recycling King County has recognized the Issaquah School District for its recycling and compost programs, naming it a level one “Green School District.” The award notes that students and staff have learned to produce less garbage.

With help from the county and city, the district has gone from recycling some of its paper, cans and plastics to recycling all of them and establishing a compost program for food scraps, said John Macartney, district resource conservation manager.

The school district also practices waste reduction strategies, including not forcing kids to take food in the cafeteria that they don’t plan to eat.

Bringing it back New owner of the last standing Cucina! Cucina! hopes to restore original flavors, quality and family service to Issaquah.

BY CELESTE GRACEY CGRACEY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Years after the Cucina! Cucina! restaurant chain fell to the cannibalism of the industry, the last standing location is turning back to its roots.

Dusting off its historic soup-stained cook books, the Issaquah eatery is planning to restore the menu’s original recipes, which brought families flocking in the early 2000s.

“I just want to bring the reputation back,” said new owner Jae Lee, an immigrant from South Korea.

In high school, whenever his family visited, he took them to Cucina. It built such fond memories, when he heard the last restaurant was being sold, he jumped on the opportunity.

It’s been five years since the restaurant was a part of a chain, and while the menu hasn’t changed much, chefs have recreated the recipes.

However, new customers miss the old tastes, said General Manager Juan Flores. “You always remember that flavor.”

Hiring a new chef, Lee is rolling out the changes this month. They include everything from the dressing on The Monroe chop salad to the seasonings behind the pescatore linguini.

The family restaurant is known best for its salads and pastas. It also has wood fired pizzas. Table clothes are topped with white paper, so both the romantic and young can doodle on them with crayons.

It’s hiring more wait staff to improve the customers service that once catered so well to groups.

Flores has also put a new emphasis on the bar, stretching the happy hour menu from 3 p.m. to close, Sunday through Thursday. The bar can be busy Friday nights with standing room only. It’s a popular place to grab a quick meal before a

Jae Lee purchased the last Cucina! Cucina! restaurant in November with the hope of restoring the recipes that once made it so popular. CELESTE GRACEY, Issaquah &Sammamish Reporter show at the movie theater next door.

At its height, the Cucina chain had 12 full restaurants and seven Cucina! Presto! cafes. First conceived by Schwartz Brothers, the local restaurant group incorporated the chain in hopes of taking it national.

Their effort didn’t get far. A year later it sold to Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, which hoped to expand its menu. The group gave up on it, too, selling it to the Canadian company that owned Joey Tomato’s Mediterranean Grill.

Mel Brooks’ Musical Comedy

The group turned two locations into high-end restaurants, including Joey in South Lake Union and Downtown Bellevue. The rest were sold or closed.

The original restaurants were popular. The challenge is in bringing back that same atmosphere, Lee said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Sammamish passes home business ordinance

BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

In an effort to maintain compatibility between home businesses and surrounding neighborhoods, the Sammamish City Council approved a new set of rules Monday for home businesses on the Plateau.

Current home businesses operating legally under the city’s old rules are grandfathered in and will not have to change their method of operations. Those applying for new home business licenses will have to abide by a new set of rules.

The council approved the new regulations 6-1, with the only dissenting vote coming from councilwoman Nancy Whitten.

“At some point people need to understand that there’s an incompatibility issue with residential,” Whitten argued. “If people want to have businesses that go on, and have a lot of traffic and everything else, maybe they should be looking for a commercial site to operate.”

While Whitten didn’t believe the new

rules were strict enough, the passing of the ordinance drew applause from home business owners in the crowd.

Among the new regulations, home businesses that require federal or state permits will be limited to the sales of items produced onsite. Alcohol and firearms would fall under that category.

The new set of rules also prohibits home businesses from operating automobile and heavy equipment repair, autobody work or painting and a variety of other businesses that would disrupt a neighborhood.

On-site customer appointments will have to fall between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week.

Among other rules, home businesses will not be able to exceed 50 percent of the area of a residential dwelling, no more than six vehicles associated with a home business shall be visible from the street or adjacent properties on a regular basis and no more than three nonresidents shall work at a home business engaged in sales or on-site services.

Salmon hatchery offers business workshop A workshop at the Salmon Hatchery plans to help businesses and non-profits learn how to form mutually beneficial partnerships.

Jane Kueschle, Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery director; and Joni Ko-

varik, a business consultant, are organizing the workshop at the hatchery 8 a.m.-noon, May 22.

The cost is $200 after. To register contact Kovarik at joni@bizdevbiz.com, 425-9853413.

Second cash mob on its way

chestrating this extreme version of local shopping.

The group can be found at www.facebook. com/CashMobIssaquah.

On the heels of its inaugural Cash Mob in April, the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce is preparing for its second go-around during National Small Business Week at 4 p.m., May 23.

This time Issaquah’s Sister’s Antiques will be awarded the mob.

Gilman Village-based Lucky You, which was the first recipient in April, sold nearly $3,000 in merchandise in one day.

“The positive response from our first Cash Mob has been overwhelming,” said Nathan Perea, director of membership development for the Issaquah Chamber. “It’s become very clear that people are eager to help support our local merchants and have some fun in the process.”

AROUND TOWN Burn ban date set The Washington State Department of Natural Resources announced that its summer burn ban will begin July 1 and run through September.

The ban includes all forestlands under DNR protection and doesn’t include federal lands.

Just this year, DNR has already had 35 wildfires simply from escaped outdoor burn piles. DNR strives to keep all its fires under 10 acres.

The use of gas and propane self-contained stoves and barbecues will continue to be allowed under the ban.

High rating equals lower cost Fire District 10’s high credit rating means residents will pay a little less for a bond it passed this spring.

The $5.5 million bond comes a 2.27 percent interest rate.

“This is an excellent credit rating and indicator of the strong financial health and stability of the district,” said commissioner Rick Gaines.

With the historically low interest rates, now is a good time to update infrastructure, said commissioner Mike Fisette.

When Matthew Cindric and seven friends needed an idea for a school service project, they didn’t want to venture far from something they all enjoy — sports.

“At first we wanted to do a basketball tournament, but we realized that wasn’t practical with the weather here in Seattle,” Cindric said.

Instead of risking a rainy day, May 11, the close-knit group of Pine Lake Middle School sixth-graders hosted a ping-pong tournament at the Sammamish EX3 Teen and Recreation Center to benefit the Issaquah Food Bank.

“We thought the Issaquah Food Bank

needed some help with getting some fruit juice and diapers and stuff,” said Bryan Meissner.

In all, 59 kids competed in last Friday’s tournament.

Taking half the entry fees from the teen center, food sales and raffle ticket sales, the boys raised $680 for the food bank — well above their goal of $250. They purchased $500 in diapers and donated the remaining $180 to the food bank in checks.

“These boys wanted to do more than just volunteer they wanted to make a difference by raising money to give even more back to the Issaquah Food Bank,” said parent volunteer Kim Meissner.

Raising $650,000 at its annual luncheon, the Issaquah Schools Foundation continues to grow in finances and support.

It hopes the money will be enough to push ISF over the $1 million mark for another year.

When the staff had finished tallying the results of the May 10 fundraiser, they were overwhelmed, said Robin Callahan, ISF executive director. “There was hardly a dry eye in the room.”

What resonated with the donors the most was the breadth of programming that ISF supports, Callahan said.

“They basically are the bridge between having a good education in Issaquah and having an excellent education in Issaquah,” said parent and supporter Kari Leon.

In addition to curriculum, the foundation pays for a number of programs, including robotics courses, personal finance education for middle school students, and the Microsoft TEALS program, which brings computer science courses to high school students.

ISF also provides a number of classroom grants.

Similar to last year’s science curriculum, ISF plans to put a large portion of the money into books. It could give up to $300,000 to rolling out reading rooms for elementary students.

Issaquah School District parents Kari Leon, left, and Elizabeth Hall discuss an auction item at the Issaquah Schools Foundation luncheon. celeste gracey, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter The luncheon focused on the successes ISF has had in the classroom and out, including an after-school tutor program for struggling middle school students.

Looking at money per student, Issaquah is among the least funded districts in the state, said ISF president Leigh Stokes.

“We live on the precipice of chronic underfunding,” she said. “We have to do it ourselves.”

In addition to the money, the luncheon attracted about 1,000 people, pushing the Issaquah Community Center to capacity.

“It’s a reflection of the high regard that people in our community hold our schools,” Callahan said.

When Elizabeth Hall moved up from California, she was seeking a better education for her children. She chose Issaquah for its reputation. Giving to the foundation made sense, she said. “Supporting schools here is really important for our family.”

A laugh you don’t want to miss Mel Brooks’ musical comedy ‘The Producers”’now showing at Village Theatre

BY KEEGAN PROSSER KPROSSER@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a Broadway junkie.

Having recently moved back to Washington state from the Big Apple – where I spent most of my Friday nights perusing the Great White Way - good theatre has been something I’ve craved. So when I heard that Village Theatre’s production of “The Producers,” would close the 2011/2012 season, I was quick to jump at the chance to review the show.

But for being a arts freak with an unhealthy relationship with Broadway, I must concede, that before being assigned this review, I knew little more about Mel Brooks’ awardwinning musical than what I read online. What I found upon checking it out last night was almost three hours of Broadway-caliber talent both clever and magical.

Keeping in line with the original movie and stage productions (which I researched extensively) Village Theatre’s presentation was full of hilariously offensive one-liners and musical numbers both cringe-worthy and enjoyable characteristics I would assume to be standard when dealing with a musical, within a musical, that features a campy Adolf Hitler singing show tunes about Nazi Germany.

Yeah.

While the focus of the plot is clearly the working relationship between Bialystock and accountant-turnedproducer Bloom, I found, that on several occasions, the supporting cast stole the show. I’m a sucker for over-thetop theatrics, and in this vein, the scenes featuring Nick DeSantis as flamboyant Broadway director, Roger DeBris, and Chris Ensweiler’s as DeBris’ daffy assistant, Carmen Ghia, were right up my alley.

Also of note is David Anthony Lewis’ superbly comedic take on Franz Liebkind, a former Nazi whose musical about the fallen Führer is targeted by Bialystock and

at Birch Bay & Mt. Baker WASHINGTON STATE

Brian Earp (Leo Bloom) performs in “The Producers” at Village Theatre. CONTRIBUTED Bloom. A six foot tall man wearing Lederhosen could stand on it’s own as one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen; add to the mix Lewis’ exaggerated mannerisms, and I’m about 99.7 percent sure this is the funniest character I’ve ever encountered.

As promised by DeSantis, the “Along Came Bialy” number toward the end of Act I was a moment to relish: 20-odd frisky old maids tapping across the stage with walkers? Yes, please. Trying to figure out which male ensemble members are hiding under those gray wigs and dresses? Even better.

Another high point of the night was the elaborate take on the controversial “Springtime For Hitler” numbers. It’s obvious the set crew saved all the tricks for the climactic show within a show – and the Vegas-style vaudeville act shines in all its glittery glory.

It’s a laugh out loud spectacle you won’t want to miss.

PLAYOFF PICTURE EC, Issaquah baseball play Saturday Eastside Catholic captured the Metro League title on Saturday in a 6-4 win over Blanchet, capped off with a second straight walk-off home run from Jeff Bohling.

Bohling, who hit an extra-inning home run in the semi-finals to lift the Crusaders over O’Dea, repeated the feat in the ninth inning against the Braves with a two-run shot to cap the comeback win.

Coach Kyle Larson’s top-seeded squad will be at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue on Saturday to face either Mount Vernon or Ferndale in the first round of the 3A state tournament.

Issaquah, which was shutout in a 7-0 loss to Redmond in the 4A KingCo title game, faces Puyallup in the first round of the 4A state tournament on Saturday at Everett Memorial Stadium with first pitch scheduled for 10 a.m.

The Eagles are making the trip to state for the first time in the past three seasons and will meet either Lake Stevens or Skyview with a win in the first game of the day.

The 4A and 3A state baseball tournaments conclude May 25 and 26 in Pasco.

Skyline, Issaquah soccer still alive Skyline, which fell to Roosevelt in the 4A KingCo title game last week, faced Puyallup on Wednesday after The Reporter’s press time for a spot in Saturday’s quarterfinals and a shot at either Bellarmine Prep or top-seeded Snohomish.

The company was started by Dan Henderson, a former U.S. Team racer and world champion who has been in the industry for nearly 40 years who said the more expansive Issaquah location on Lake Sammamish has allowed the festival to grow from last year when it was in West Seattle.

“It’s our home,” Henderson said of the Eastside. “We have a population that enjoys being outdoors and active so it’s just a good fit for this.”

Henderson added that the freshwater of Lake Sammamish is not as abrasive and damaging for the watercraft as saltwater and those on the beach do not have to contend with the tide, which cut the proceedings short last year.

The Northwest Paddling Festival ran both Friday and Saturday at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Organizers hope to bring the event back to Issaquah again in 2013.

In addition, the festival included an opportunity to take in a canoe race or find out about tours and guided exploration programs around Puget Sound and beyond.

Issaquah lacrosse eyes perfection

Three athletes from area selected for national lacrosse tournament

BY josh suman jsuman@soundpublshing.com

Three student-athletes from Issaquah and Sammamish have been selected by the Washington Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association to be part of a team that will represent Washington in the U.S. Lacrosse Women’s Division National Tournament in New York next month.

Skyline’s Katie Bucy, Issaquah’s Suzanne Emerson and Eastside Catholic’s Justice Gilbert will join 19 others from around the state at one of the oldest lacrosse tournaments in the country, running since 1933.

National Safe Boating Week begins this weekend

Bellevue kept it closer than any other Issaquah opponent in 2012, but was unable to escape the Eagles’ defense often enough to get the win. michael jardine, Sound Lacrosse “In years past, we sort of didn’t believe we would get through those games,” Director said. “This year we have risen to the occasion.”

Director and O’Neill have been the leaders on offense and both are in the top-10 in the state in scoring. Both were adamant that once the playoffs arrive, the only goal will be capturing the program’s third state title in five years.

“If we aren’t able to get it done in the end,” Director said. “The record isn’t going to mean much.”

The National Safe Boating Council’s “Safe Boating Week” launches tomorrow and warns boaters in Washington, which ranked ninth in the nation for boating fatalities according to a recent U.S. Coast Guard study, to wear life jackets at all times when on the water and never boat under the influence.

When Issaquah takes the field for its first playoff game at 7 p.m., Saturday, history will be on the line.

Since 2005 the only boys lacrosse team in Washington to finish the regular season undefeated was Woodinville in 2011, when it captured the Division II title with a 14-0 regular season and unblemished run through the playoffs.

Mercer Island (2010) and Tacoma (2006) are the only Division I programs to run the table in the regular season and make the title match, but both were ultimately upset in the final game of the year.

Before this year an Issaquah team had never finished the regular season unbeaten according to head coach Brandon Fortier, who has been at the helm for 11 seasons.

“We haven’t really been talking about it too much,” said senior Matt O’Neill. “But an undefeated season would be huge.”

O’Neill is one of four seniors who was with the team for its last state title in 2009, along with Ben Director, Kole Lindor and Duncan Hamilton.

While Issaquah players and coaches have stayed away from the topic of perfection throughout the regular season, it is an unavoidable reality now that the playoffs have arrived and an undefeated season will be tied to winning a championship.

“Anything that brings the best service to our customers in order to improve their outcome is the right thing to do,” said EFR Deputy Chief Greg Tryon.

The organization, which has three fire stations on the Plateau, has set a 9 minute first responder standard for itself for EMS calls. They comply with that standard 94.63 percent of the time.

While EFR emergency responders are fast, there’s always chance police could get there first. And with lives on the line, it’s simply another way to insure the safety of Sammamish citizens.
