Nearly two weeks after a threat of mass shooting violence was made against Skyline High School and its students, police arrested a 16-year-old male suspect.

Detectives with the Sammamish Police Department arrested the former Skyline student in Edmonds around 7 a.m., Tuesday on charges of harassment and cyberstalking related to a Sept. 19 posting made on the social media site 4chan.

“It’s very interesting that this threat was made through technology ... but at the end of the day, this was solved by relationships,” said King County Sheriff Steve Strachan, noting that several students came forward to Skyline resource officer Alana Hall with crucial information that led to the suspect.

The online threat, which was made late in the evening of Sept. 19, specifically targeted “jocks” and students who “use their wealth and social status to act superior to others.” The 16-year-old suspect allegedly made threats of entering the commons area and opening fire with a submachine gun until he ran out of ammo or was killed by police.

Skyline was shut down the following day as a safety precaution.

been around the hatchery a month, the process didn’t take long to catch on.

“They’re ready,” Sowa said. “You just pick them up and compress their stomach.”

Other volunteers were responsible for wrangling the fish, slicing open the bellies of the females for eggs, or simply counting the number of wild compared to hatchery fish.

Nearly 50 volunteers showed up Tuesday to help with the second spawn of the season.

While many are old pros, Linda Avery took her first attempt at wrangling salmon.

“It’s just very strange because it’s just constantly somebody pushing at you,” she said, noting she was only able to actually grab a couple of fish. “They handed me a couple and I lost two.”

The hatchery will continue with the process once a week for the next two to three weeks

until it reaches its goal.

“We usually have four or five spawns,” said Darin Combs, hatchery director. “We want to get eggs from a good representation of the run, we don’t want to get all early fish, so we spread out the spawns.”

The goal of fertilized eggs isn’t set in stone yet. Combs said that budget cuts have caused cutbacks with their partners at the Muckleshoot Tribe. He said the number could wind up anywhere between 1.2 and 2.2 million.

Once the eggs and milk were collected Tuesday, they were combined with milt in incubators. From there, they will be left untouched for 40 to 50 days while they are in the Alevin stage, They are then taken from the incubators to be weighed and sampled and placed back in the incubators where they will spend another 40 days. After they have absorbed all their nutrients, the fry are placed into larger ponds where they are fed. Three months after that, the fish are clipped for identification and let go.

The Blotter

Police reports from Issaquah and Sammamish By kevin endejan kendejan@issasqwuahrepoter.com

The following information was compiled from the city of Sammamish police reports:

TOO DRUNK Police responded to a call of woman sleeping under trees along the side of Southeast 28th Street, near 218th Avenue Southeast on Sept. 30.

The 51-year-old Sammamish woman was contacted earlier by police, who found a 1-liter bottle of vodka in her purse, approximately 3/4 full.

She was able to walk away from the first contact without assistance and said she was headed home.

When police found her the second time, the bottle was 1/4 of the way full.

Police called medics, who had trouble restraining the combative woman.

While in soft restraints on the stretcher the woman threw a punch with her right hand and grazed an officer’s cheek. The officer wasn’t hurt.

The woman was taken away to the hospital to be evaluated.

REIGN MAN GONE A Sammamish woman called police Sept. 27 to report that someone stole a Shawn Kemp painting from the game room in her home. The art of the former Seattle Supersonic was valued at $8,000. Thieves also took the woman’s purse, but it was found down the street in the 2000 block of Northeast 16th Street.

The woman had multiple college aged kids at her home at the time, but she doesn’t believe any of them took the painting.

The kids apparently left the sliding glass door to the game room open because it was hot inside, then left the room. The woman believes someone then the painting.

NO BOUNDARIES A Sammamish woman went to police Sept. 28 to report harassment by a salesman.

The woman responded to an ad for a free carbon monoxide detector and included her address and phone number.

Since doing so, a sales-

man has shown up at her house numerous times and participated in activity that has made the woman uncomfortable. He told the woman all the wiring in her house was bad and suggested she change her insurance so she could afford to have her house rewired. At one point, the man made reference to an incident the woman’s daughter was involved in and told her he was a pastor and that he could pray for her.

Officers warned the woman to call police if the man showed up again unannounced.

BANNED Sammamish police served a trespassing warning to a man Sept. 25 after receiving a complaint from a local church that he continues to be disruptive and overly aggressive at the establishment.

The man refused to sign the warning letter, but was warned that if he returned to the church he could be arrested.

MISSING CHECKS A Sammamish couple called police Sept. 29 to report a suspected mail theft in the 2100 block of Southeast 32nd Place.

They said they have found their mailbox open and empty on numerous occasions and haven’t received checks that were recently mailed to them.

TOOLS STOLEN A Sammamish man flagged down police Sept.

24 to report that someone broke into his truck’s toolboxes the previous night, stealing numerous items.

Items taken out of the apartment complex parking lot located in the 22000 block of Northeast Inglewood Hill Road, included skill saws and grinders.

Total value was estimated at $1,000.

JEWELRY THEFT A Sammamish woman called police Sept. 22 to report her 22-karat gold chain and pendant missing.

The woman initially discovered the jewelry was missing before taking a trip to India in June.

She later heard that one of the people who cleans her home had a brother arrested for stealing jewelry and was concerned he may

have done the same to her.

Police explained how pawn shops and metal buying businesses work and that it was unlikely they can recover the jewelry. The case is still open.

Skyline High School principal Lisa Hechtman speaks during a press conference Tuesday, while King County Sheriff Steve Strachan looks on. kevin

LOUD WORKERS A Sammamish woman in the 2300 block of Southeast 48th Street called police Sept. 22 to report construction workers going 47 minutes past their deadline.

The woman said afterhours construction noise is an ongoing problem in the neighborhood.

HIT & RUN A vehicle owner in the 100 block of 247th Avenue Southeast in Sammamish called police Sept. 23 to report someone hit her vehicle parked legally on the street sometime overnight.

There was damage to the front driver’s side, above the wheel well. There was no apparent paint transfer or other physical evidence at the scene.

STOLEN ALCOHOL A store manager at a Pine Lake grocery store called police Sept. 14 to report two separate thefts of alcohol. A couple stole more than $400 in hard liquor from the store Sept.

10, while an individual male made off with nearly $700 in liquor on his own.

Over a two-hour period, the man stashed bottles of liquor in the beer aisle, then filled an empty paper bag with the liquor before leaving. He came back later with a different shirt, and used the same method, stashing a bag full of liquor in the floral department.

Security camera footage revealed the process took two hours.

The man stole several expensive liquors, including 10 bottles of Red Breast Scotch.

of us, he unwittingly provided a gift of solidarity and resiliency to our community,” Skyline principal Lisa Hechtman said.

Police, who obtained numerous tips from different students, admittedly ran into a dead end after both King County detectives and the FBI traced the threats to a proxy server in Sweden.

They fully credit Skyline students for being able to track down the suspect.

“We want them to feel comfortable sharing that kind of information with us and knowing they’re going to be safe and not going to have any kind of retaliation,” Hall said.

Detectives first served a warrant on the boy’s home last week. They seized three computers and two cell phones, finding direct links to the threats, including the photo of the gun that was posted on the

social media site. Police didn’t recover any weapons in the home and believe the photo was obtained from a site similar to eBay based out of the Philippines.

Evidence relating to a similar threat at Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood last April was also found on the computers.

Police are investigating to see if the threats are related to the same suspect.

The boy was booked at the King County Youth Services Center. Detectives forwarded the case to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, Oct. 3. The penalty for a Class C felony holds a maximum $10,000 fine or a five years in prison.

While there is no known motive for the threat, police warn that even in cases of bullying, students should never resort to making threats.

“I think I can speak on behalf of parents, staff and the King County Sheriffs office when I say don’t mess with the safety of our kids, we take it very, very seriously,” Strachan said. “The fact is this kind of threat will not be tolerated now or in the future.”

SOLVING CRIME

I

Skyline students step up

n a world where police investigations seem more and more to be solved by CSI and other technological feats, it’s refreshing to hear that the case of the threat of mass shooting violence was made against Skyline High School and its students has been solved by something quite human -- tips from students.

As King County Sheriff Steve Strachan noted: “It’s very interesting that this threat was made through technology ... but at the end of the day, this was solved by relationships.”

As reported by Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter staff writer Kevin Endejan, several students came forward to Skyline resource officer Alana Hall with crucial information that led to the suspect. And on Tuesday, detectives with the Sammamish Police Department arrested a 16-year-old male just two weeks after the threats were made against students at Skyline. He faces charges of harassment and cyberstalking related to the Sept. 19 posting made on the social media site 4chan.

Equally telling is that the students felt they could confide in Hall.

“We want them to feel comfortable sharing that kind of information with us and knowing they’re going to be safe and not going to have any kind of retaliation,” Hall said.

Detectives served a warrant on the boy’s home last week and seized three computers and two cell phones, finding direct links to the threats, including the photo of the gun that was posted on the social media site. Police didn’t recover any weapons in the home and believe the photo was obtained from a site similar to eBay based out of the Philippines.

Evidence relating to a similar threat at Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood last April was also found on the computers. Police are investigating to see if the threats are related to the same suspect.

Police say there’s no known motive for the threat, but that isn’t the key to this story. As Strachan said: “I think I can speak on behalf of parents, staff and the King County Sheriffs office when I say don’t mess with the safety of our kids, we take it very, very seriously. The fact is this kind of threat will not be tolerated now or in the future.”

He’s absolutely right.

Are we getting railroaded?

BY DON C. BRUNELL

Recently, Matthew Rose, CEO of BNSF Railway, visited editorial boards in Vancouver, Spokane, Seattle and Bellingham to talk about a variety of issues related to increased train traffic.

However, the 800 pound gorilla in the room was not train traffic, but the commodity those trains would carry: coal.

In Washington, coal has been shipped by train for decades. Currently, about three to four coal trains a day pass through Clark County. Rose said it’s hard to predict specifics at this point, but if proposed export terminals at Longview Don Brunell and Cherry Point are approved, it could mean an additional 12 to 20 train trips per day.

Activists predict terrible consequences for local communities as a result, including traffic snarls, blocked emergency vehicles, derailments and pollution. Interestingly, there’s little indication these activists ever voiced similar concerns about trains that don’t carry coal.

Regarding the much discussed issue of coal dust, before the recent anti-coal campaigns, there wasn’t a single complaint about coal dust from the coal trains that have been traveling through the Puget Sound region for decades.

That’s because coal dust wasn’t a problem except near the loading docks at the mines, more than 1,000 miles away. In fact, BNSF conducted extensive testing on 1,633 coal trains and found that sealants sprayed on loaded coal cars dramatically reduced coal dust — in some cases to zero. BNSF now requires all coal shippers to use such treatments.

Ironically, in attacking trains, the Sierra Club and others are going after one of the most efficient ways to move cargo and people. In reality, trains are one of the most environmentally responsible ways to move goods.

One train can move a ton of freight almost 500 miles on a single gallon of diesel. A single freight train removes 280 trucks from the highway — the equivalent of 1,100 cars — reducing congestion and pollution and saving energy.

The Sierra Club has also raised questions about particulate emissions from diesel locomotives. But the state Department of Ecology ranks locomotives as one of the smallest contributors of such emissions among the 19 sources it tracks. Rose says BNSF plans to spend $1.1 billion on energy-efficient locomotives expected to further reduce emissions by 60 to 70 percent.

The real issue isn’t train traffic or diesel emissions, it’s coal.

Even though coal produces nearly half the electricity used in the U.S. and the world, the Sierra Club wants to eliminate it, opposing any coal plant, even those designed to reduce emissions to zero.

Asia, particularly China, is hungry for coal. They prefer Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming and Montana because it is low in sulfur and produces fewer pollutants.

Building the new export terminals that would ship that coal to China will create hundreds of jobs and produce millions in tax revenues for schools, colleges, social services, police and fire protection.

If the Sierra Club and other activists succeed in pressuring elected officials to block the proposed export terminals, China will simply buy dirtier coal from somewhere else.

The problem compounds because those air pollutants will make their way back to the West Coast.

China plans to transition to natural gas over the next 25 years, but until then, U.S. coal is projected to retain the largest share of China’s electricity generation mix.

In the end, Laura Stevens, a Portland-based representative of the Sierra Club, admitted that trains are not the real focus of their efforts, telling the Columbian that the railroads “are something of a middleman” in the coal export issue.

Unfortunately, we are all caught in the middle — the middle of the Sierra Club’s war on coal — a war that, if successful, will cause severe collateral damage to America’s families, jobs and our fragile economy.

Time, love – and reporting on Issaquah Leaving journalism to become a mom

L

ike most things in life, journalism is best done with time and love.

That’s been my philosophy at The Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter these past two years, but I didn’t realize until now how crucial that approach is to the future of journalism. Allow an anecdote.

In spring 2011, I took a walk through Lake Sammamish State Park to ponder its neglect.

I knew it would kill an afternoon, but I knew the story wouldn’t get far without time. I ran into a ranger, his button Celeste Gracey down shirt hung in a truck, ripping off rotten wood from the side of a building. We had a long chat about the State Parks system and how bureaucracy had tied up renovation plans.

I took a couple more walks with rangers. I hopped over mud puddles while they relived terrifying and glorious mo-

ments at the park. I also met with people, such as councilmember Eileen Barber, who had worked on the problem. Much has happened since the story ran, and I feel good about the part I played in stirring the conversation. The series wouldn’t have had the impact or won so many awards, had I not given it time.

The difference in quality journalism is also love.

Earlier this year I pursued a piece on a disability program, which helps students ages 18-21 develop skills to become independent. After a visit and a few conversations, I had all the color and the facts to write the story, but in my heart I knew there was something more.

So I followed a 20-year-old to her weekly internship bussing tables. I knew the work was hard for her, but until I saw how she struggled to put on a pair of rubber gloves, did I understand the depth of need.

She was being given an opportunity to find a meaningful role in society. I wouldn’t have learned that, had I not

Hague, Lambert helped make stadium deal better

A

BY DWAYNE CLARK s a business owner, “Eastsider” and of course, a sports fan, I wanted to applaud the recent developments regarding the possible return of the Seattle Supersonics. And not only show appreciation for the unprecedented deal offered by Chris Hansen and ArenaCo, but also thank the Eastside elected representatives who framed the discussion and got us closer to the deal we have in front of us today.

As a business owner, I am amazed at the flexibility and grateful for the extreme generosity of Hansen and partners Pete and Erik Nordstrom and Steve Ballmer.

With 34 business locations in several states and being an avid sports fan, I have never seen an agreement that has so little risk for taxpayers like you and me. In fact, with the exception of a possible $10 million to $20 million dollars for traffic and pedestrian infrastructure (which would be covered by arena revenues) we are only being asked to use the line of credit of Seattle and King County. And Hansen and ArenaCo are guaranteeing the payments.

In this economy, the use of public funds in the city, county and state is paramount for those who are underserved.

Having grown up from challenged beginnings, I have been there. Extravagant uses of public funds in the past has have been frustrating to me, but this situation is different. This is a public-private partnership where the risk is borne and guaranteed by the owners.

In tandem with the flexibility of ArenaCo, I want to thank King County Council members Jane Hague and Kathy

Lambert. From the beginning they framed the discussion and succeeded in enhancing the agreement to protect the taxpayers, minimize financial risk, address transportation access and Jane Hague freight mobility issues and the WNBA and tenants of the Key Arena. In addition, the environmental, economic impact analysis and other requirements leave open the possibility of other locations. And, Kathy Lambert finally, after two previous stadiums, they helped mandate protections of our deep water port and international trading partners.

Lambert and Hague were also instrumental in recent legislation that would use the same financing mechanism that may be utilized for this arena proposal for other sports, civic and arts facilities.

This could be an option for the proposed Tateuchi Center in Bellevue along with other needed venues.

Their efforts should be applauded.

Dwayne Clark is CEO of Aegis Living.

given the story more love.

In an age when newspapers are scrambling to survive the transition to digital media, it seems many have forgotten what about American journalism is worth saving. Quality journalism connects the facts to faces. It tells stories that don’t just equip readers with information, but compels them to discussion.

Sadly, most young journalists don’t know what makes something newsworthy anymore. We’re taught early on to measure success by web hits and story counts,

and not by the quality of our work.

I was fortunate enough to escape that kind of thinking, and so my love for journalism came naturally.

With deep joy and a heavy heart, I must say that my philosophy has now taken me another direction in life. My husband and I are expecting our first child in January, and I’ve decided to leave journalism for a while. Because like most things in life, raising children is best done with time and love.

Thanks Issaquah, it’s been a delight.

Issaquah Halloween store kicks off holiday season By linda ball lball@issaquahreporter.com

It’s officially the holiday season as Halloween approaches and fall leaves dot the landscape.

The recession? It doesn’t seem to matter, as the National Retail Federation predicts that a record 170 million Americans will spend close to $8 billion this year on the candy and costume fest, buying decorations, costumes for their kids and pets, candy and all the other accoutrements necessary for what was once called All Hallow’s Eve. Party@Display & Costume recently relocated to 6000 E. Sammamish Parkway SE in Issaquah. The store has been family owned since 1962, with their flagship store in Seattle and a third store in Everett. Owners Dallas and Susie Carleton took the business over from Susie’s parents and their three grown children will carry on the tradition.

Unlike some of the Halloween stores that pop-up during the Halloween season, Party@Display & Costume is a year round, all event store.

“October is our biggest month of the year,” said Melissa Nguon, the company’s marketing and advertising representative.

Nguon said the displays change with each holiday season, but Halloween is their busiest season.

Shelly Huffman of Issaquah had already purchased a costume for her daughter, Lucy, who will be Ariel, the little mermaid.

Huffman said they also needed a little costume for her new baby, and candy. However, with Lucy’s birthday coming up she

Kim Sampadian of Renton shops for the perfect “Velma” glasses for her daughter’s Scooby-Doo themed costume. linda ball, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter was also shopping for birthday party items, which the store has plenty of.

Back in the costume department, the most popular outfits continue to be Harry Potter characters, even though the book series has wrapped up. Super heroes, particularly The Avengers are big with the 5- to 7-year-old crowd, Morph suits — spandex body suits in a variety of themes are popular with adults, and little girls still like to be princesses.

Store manager Tracie Compton said

Steampunk was big, too. Steampunk? It is a genre that includes elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternative history, horror and speculative fiction that includes elements using steam power.

Kim Sampadian of Renton was on a mission at Party@Display & Costume. The entire family is going to dress up as ScoobyDoo characters. Her 7-year-old daughter will be Velma, and Sampadian said she plans to be either Scooby or Daphne, while her husband may be Fred or Scooby.

“Shaggy will be played by an uncle, so there’s not much to do because he looks like him already,” she said.

Sampadian passed on the adult Scooby costume because it was $70, but so far she has spent about $75 on Halloween. She plans to spend more, because she plans to make dolls for her daughter to match the Scooby-Doo theme, plus she is hosting a harvest party at her daughter’s school.

That’s not all. She made pumpkin spice play-dough for 120 kids. And no, the kids did not eat it.

Both Huffman and Sampadian plan to take their children on traditional trick-ortreating.

The ghoul-ish stuff is still available, of course. There is an entire Zombie section with such delights as a bag of limbs and severed arms. Goth, cowboy themes, witches and clowns are all represented. Let your imagination run wild.

NO TOYING AROUND Sammamish family’s online educational business takes off

BY KEVIN ENDEJAN KENDEJAN@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Outside of Christmas morning, most would cringe at the idea of boxes, toys and packing material spread throughout their home.

Sandra Scherzinger witnesses the scene 365 days a year, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “At different times there are toys everywhere,� she said, smiling. “My house is not as clean as it used to be.�

For just over a year now, Sandra, along with 19-year-old daughter Meagan and husband Ted, have operated 4 Knowledge - 4 Fun from their Sammamish home.

In a short time, the online educational toy store has taken off, most recently winning a 2012 Seal of Approval from Homeschool.com — a company recognized by Forbes as the top homeschooling website on the Internet. “If they’re willing to let me tag along with them after only having been in business over a year ... it really feels good,� Sandra said.

4 Knowledge - 4 Fun was born

4 Knowledge - 4 Fun 4 Knowledge - 4 Fun is one of an estimated 4,000 home businesses located in Sammamish. www.4knowledge-4fun.com.

when Sandra, a former manager for a regional toy store, needed to find a way to provide full-time care to her ailing mother. Combined with an escape from the politics of the corporate world, opening a home-based toy store was a no-brainer. “If you’re into to doing things on your own, having an online business is really great that way,� Sandra said.

Meagan, an Eastlake High School graduate, is part-owner. She is currently attending Bellevue College while helping run the business. Ted, who works full-time as an engineer, is considered the “shipping department� by Sandra, handling most of packing.

4 Knowledge - 4 Fun has grown in its year of operation. The business buys products from more than 50 vendors

and offers more than 530 products on its website, easily found under 35 specific categories. Products range from arts and crafts materials to microscopes and board games to dolls.

4 Knowledge - 4 Fun has all its products in stock, making it easy to ship products as quickly as possible. Items are currently stored at the Scherzinger home and various locations on the Plateau, but there is potential that could change — especially if they follow one idea and begin shipping worldwide after the start of the New Year. “If the business grows the way we want it to, there will eventually have to be a large warehouse of some kind,�

Sandra said.

For now, she will gladly take the small victories. After a tough August, the business bounced back to have its best month yet. “Last night after we packed the last (September) order, I shook my husband’s hand and I said ‘congratulations we just had our best month,’� Sandra said. “You have to take those little gains and little happiness things you get when you get them.�

The Issaquah and Sammamish Chambers of Commerce, together representing over 700 businesses and over 50,000 employees, have announced a joint business-focused candidate forum with State Legislative candidates in the 5th and 41st Districts on Oct. 9.

Confirmed candidates include Mark Mullet, Brad Toft, David Spring, Chad Magendanz and Jay Rodne of the 5th District and Marcie Maxwell, Steve Litzow, Maureen Judge and Tim Eaves of the 41st.

The local eastside political races, especially the race for the open 5th District Senate seat, are thought to be some of the most competitive in the state. “The Issaquah and Sammamish Chambers are excited to Deb Sogge provide this opportunity for our community to learn more about how the candidates will support job creation, businesses success, government reform and economic competitiveness for our state,� said Deb Sogge and Matt Bott, executives of the Sammamish and Issaquah Chambers, respectively, in a joint statement.

The Forum will take place from 3:30-5:30 p.m., at Blakely Hall (2550 NE Park Drive) in the Issaquah Highlands and is free and open to the public, though a sizeable block of seats are reserved for local Chamber members.

Issaquah citizens and businesses can RSVP at www.issaquahchamber.com. Sammamish Matt Bott citizens/businesses can RSVP at www.sammamishchamber.org. “It is clear that job creation, economic competitiveness, government reform and education excellence are what citizens and businesses are looking for right now from our state leaders,� Bott said.

The newly redistricted 5th District includes most of Issaquah, North Bend, Snoqualmie, Maple Valley and parts of unincorporated King County. The 41st District includes parts of Sammamish, Renton, Issaquah and Bellevue. “This is an important opportunity for Sammamish citizens to meet their 41st District candidates since the shift in Legislative redistricting,� Sogge said.

Erin McCallum, Executive Director of Enterprise Washington, will be moderating the forum.

The Chambers, together with eight other eastside chambers, annually develop a legislative agenda consisting of policy recommendations for ways government can help businesses be successful and to improve quality of life on the eastside and in Washington state.

REPORTER Q/A | Skyline senior Haley Smith

Future Colorado Buffalo talks ups and downs of basketball

Q A

Haley Smith: I’ve always had basketball as big part of my life. Ever since playing in the pre-school league at the YMCA and then select leagues throughout my youth.

I wasn’t sure how far I would take basketball coming into my freshman year of high school, but I talked to a father of another former player at Skyline and he helped me find a program where I was able to put in a lot of work and energy and time into just bettering my skills and becoming a better player.

Q A

How tough has it been to deal with the injuries during the most critical period of the recruiting process?

I first got injured the summer before last during my junior recruiting season. I dislocated my knee cap and it was really difficult because that was my first recruiting summer, when all the big tournaments are. This past high school season I injured the same left knee when I sprained my MCL. I missed about a month and a half of that season.

I came in at the end of the season and was able to play in our last few games, we were one game away from the state tournament.

Q A

Did the injuries make it harder to get the attention of those major programs?

Coming into this summer, I was unknown to a lot of coaches. I had to get it all done and show my full potential.

Q A

How has the adversity of being injured changed your mindset and approach to basketball?

Injuries have made me battle back and play that much harder. I’ve had to work really hard with all my rehab and strengthening my knee and hopefully it is back to 100 percent. I’m really excited for all the resources college athletics provide to help us stay healthy.

Q A

What made you decide on Colorado?

When people talk about the feeling of being at home, I definitely had that feeling at Colorado.

I went in June to kind of get a feel for it, but I didn’t get to see any students on campus and I couldn’t be as involved with the coaches and team since it was an unofficial visit.

What’s happening in the world of sports

Eastlake girls cross country first, boys third at Twilight Invitational The Eastlake cross country team put together a solid showing at the Twilight Invitational in Marysville, as the girls took the top spot via tie-breaker and boys were third.

Jordan Oldenberg was the top finisher on the boys side for Eastlake in 10th place overall, and Nicole Stinnett was 22nd to lead the Eastlake girls.

Area football teams earn victories in three of four games

Heading into the summer of 2012, Skyline senior Haley Smith was still a relative unknown in many girls basketball recruiting circles. Injuries derailed the early part of her prep career and left some coaches wanting more evidence that the flashes of brilliance she showed when she was healthy could be there consistently.

Smith did all that and more during the summer months, putting her skills, and healthy knee, on display and garnering Division I interest from around the country. Smith finalized the recruiting process earlier this week, announcing she would sign with the University of Colorado and play for coach Linda Lappe.

The newest member of the Buffalos took some time with the Reporter to talk about her perseverance through injuries, the recruiting process in a major college program and her final season as a Spartan.

When you did you know basketball was something you were passionate about?

Sports Roundup

Eastlake 34 Inglemoor 23 The Wolves took an early lead and held on down the stretch on four Drew Lewis touchdowns.

Eastlake will host Woodinville in another Crown Division matchup Friday with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.

Roosevelt 21 Issaquah 17 The Roughriders erased a late deficit with a fourth quarter touchdown to stun the Eagles.

Issaquah will travel to Memorial Stadium for a 7 p.m. game against Garfield on Saturday.

Skyline 67 Garfield 16

Skyline senior Haley Smith prepares to enter her senior season before heading to Colorado. CONTRIBUTED

Q A

Did you take any other visits?

I went to Northwestern and go to meet the coaching staff and players and then I went back to Colorado.

I really just felt there was a strong family vibe and all the girls were just so close. It really felt like something I wanted to be a part of. I’m excited with the direction Colorado is heading in, moving to the Pac-12 and having coach Lappe, who is a young coach and trying to move forward and elevate the status of Colorado.

Q A

How did you connect with the coaching staff ?

They just have expressed all the potential they see in me and how they see me progressing over the next four years. I really want to see those goals they have for me and the goals I have for myself come to fruition.

Q A

What is the toughest part of the recruiting process?

There is definitely a little bit of pressure. Over the course of a summer or even two or three years, you really get to know the staff and the players. You get to know all about the school and it’s really hard when you get down to the final few schools to figure out exactly where you sit but still not wanting to sever those relationships. There’s really no wrong choice, but it’s just where you feel most comfortable.

Q A

After sitting out last year, how much are you looking forward to your senior year at Skyline?

I’m so excited. My senior year, it’s really going to be amazing. I have three other great seniors who will be playing with me who have been with me since fifth grade so I’m excited to have this final season with them. I’ve been trying to work on my offensive skills, which is something I’ve heard from numerous coaches I need to work on. I’ve always been a selfless player, so I’m ready to just kick it into high gear and show off my talents and strengths and hopefully take the team really far.

The Bulldogs posed little threat to the top-ranked team in Class 4A, as Skyline built a near-40 point advantage at the end of the first quarter and rolled to the blowout win.

Coach Mat Taylor’s Spartans will host Ballard before a showdown for the Crest at Newport the following week.

Eastside Catholic 22 Seattle Prep 6 Eastside erased an early deficit on touchdowns from Trey Reynolds and Brandon Wellington.

Rainier Beach will be the visitor on Friday at 7 p.m. for the still undefeated Crusaders.

Eastlake golfers pick up a pair of wins on the course The Wolves picked up a pair of wins in boys golf behind medalist Li Wang, who shot a 37 at Eastlake’s home course at Sahalee in a win over Ballard and a 36 at Bear Creek to top rival Redmond.

Eastlake remains unbeaten in 2012 and has a trio of golfers in Wang, Spencer Weiss and Will Sharp who look poised to contend for individual trophies as well as a team title at the 4A state meet.

Skyline soccer picks up a pair of victories, keeps eyes on league title The Spartans erased an early deficit Tuesday behind three straight goals from Brooke Bofto and Anna Deweirdt to beat Inglemoor 3-2.

Lianna Simms assisted on the score from Bofto before MacKenzie Ware and Rachel Shim earned helpers on the scores from Deweirdt.

Emily Baril and Jaeden Chew combined to pick up the win in goal.

The Spartans also picked up a win over Roosevelt, 3-0 behind goals from Bofto, Jordan Branch and Shim and a shutout in goal from Baril, Sydney Martinez and Jaeden Chew.

Skyline remains unbeaten at 8-0-2 (4-0-0 in KingCo) with a game against Bothell that was played after the Reporter’s deadline.

A showdown with Issaquah to finish the season on Oct. 23 could decide the regular season champion of the conference.

For more than 10 years, Issaquah High School band director Patrick Holen has made an effort to keep his students acutely aware of the opportunities that music can bring beyond their prep days.

He has routinely taken his groups to band day at the University of Washington, where they rehearse and perform with the Huskies and get a firsthand look at the flare and panache that define collegiate bands.

“I’ve had many students go to UW and be in the marching band,” Holen said. “We have kids in the WSU band and this year, one at USC.” With the success of his former students and another sizable and talented group this year, Holen wanted to do something different. So instead of packing his own band to UW for a day that begins at 7 a.m. and lasts through the game, Holen invited the Dawgs to come to their place.

“We were on a waiting list,” he said. “We put schedules together and made

sure it worked out. The kids were super exited.”

The costs associated with bussing the Huskies was split by the ASB, booster club and band and gave the Issaquah band a chance to perform in front of their fans with a group many aspire to someday join.

Holen said the chance to get his students interacting with kids who have been in their position is invalu-

able for their own ability to choose a path to continue music. After the performance at halftime, the Washington section leaders spoke with the high school band and provided insight into being part of such a grand production.

“A lot of kids think they have to be music majors to be in the band,” Holen said.

“I think there were only two.”

Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month Komen for the Cure ‘treats’ survivors

Seated next to her at the table was her neighbor, Molly, who was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after a normal mammogram. “You think you get a mammogram and you’re good to go,” Molly said. Not so.

Others at the table told of the aftermath of some treatments that caused lymphedema, swelling of the lymph glands that can be painful and delay further treatment or reconstruction.

Shaw acknowledged that this has been a difficult year for the Komen organization. But she reminded the women that Komen is the largest private funder of mammograms in the state.

Beating to the sound of different drums, pipes

If you thrill to the sound of bagpipes, you’re in luck — there’s a band of talented performers right here on the Eastside.

The Eastside Firefighter Pipes & Drums band is a registered nonprofit and was founded in 2009 by Capt. Don Turner and Jon Parkinson to resurrect the firefighter traditions of bagpipe bands. Historically, firefighter pipe bands were formed to play at fire department functions, including memorial services for fallen members.

Currently, EFPD has nine “kilted”or active bagpipers and a section of drummers, five of whom are on snares, three on tenors, and two on bass.

Kyle Wailor, 35, is one of the tenor drummers and has been with the band since its inception. As a firefighter, his department serves Issaquah, Sammamish, North Bend and Carnation.

Though he did not have any prior musical experience, Wailor chose to become part of the band because he enjoyed the traditions of firefighter pipe bands. Eventually, he achieved a “kilted”level of playing.

“At first, I wanted to learn the bagpipes, but then I found out I had no musical ability,” Wailor said with a laugh. “It is an extremely technical instrument that would have taken me forever to learn.

Math scores soar for LWSD students

While state test scores showed improvement in math and science, Lake Washington School District students showed even greater increases in math while science scores exceeded reading and math scores in fifth grade for the first time.

Reading scores showed mostly modest gains with a few losses that paralleled state scores. Writing scores showed greater gains than state results for two of three grades tested.

The district serves students in the Sammamish area.

“Our staff and students worked hard to improve in math while maintaining or even improving on high standards in other subjects,” said LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “Our elementary teachers in particular have spent the last two years implementing a new math curriculum and we are now seeing gains in math performance.”

Math scores showed increases of between 3.1 percent and 6.6 percent more students at standard in grades three through eight on the Measurements of Student Progress. Those gains exceeded any gains in state test scores in grades three through seven.

The greatest difference was in grade five, where district scores increased from 75.4 percent at standard last year to 81.5 percent this year, a 6.1 percent

increase. State scores increased from 61.3 percent at standard to 63.7 percent at standard, a 2.4 percent increase. In eighth grade, district scores increased from 69.7 percent at standard to 73.1 percent, while state scores increased from 50.4 percent to 55.4 percent at standard, a slightly greater increase.

On the End of Course exams in math, 81.4 percent of district students were at standard on the Math Year 1 exam compared to 71 percent at the state level. For EOC Year 2, 88.5 percent of district students were at standard compared to 79.1 percent statewide.

Science scores gained at the state level in both grades where it is tested in the Measurements of Student Progress, grades five and eight. Scores in fifth grade in LWSD rose from 80.5 percent to 87 percent, outstripping both the reading and math results in that grade for the first time. State scores rose significantly in fifth grade, from 55.7 percent to 66.1 percent.

Eighth grade scores slipped slightly in Lake Washington, from 85.2 percent to 84.9 percent while state scores rose from 61.6 percent to 66.3 percent.

On the new EOC biology exam, 81.3 percent of LWSD students were at standard, compared to 64.1 percent at the state level.

“Science continues to be a growing strength in our district,” said Pierce.

“We are seeing the greatest gains in the systems area, which has to do with systems thinking. However, the greatest difference from state scores comes in the area of inquiry, which focuses on the experimental process.

Our teachers intentionally teach the experimental process beginning with the early grades and it is reflected in our scores.”

District reading scores tended to mirror gains or losses with state scores, with most grades scoring similarly to last year. One exception is 10th grade reading, where district scores improved slightly from 91.9 percent at standard to 92.2 percent at standard while the state numbers fell from 82.6 percent to 81.1 percent. Both the district and state scores gained significantly on the seventh grade test.

District writing scores improved in two of the three grades tested. Writing scores for the district’s seventh graders rose from 87.0 percent to 88.8 percent while state scores remained flat at 71.0 percent. Scores for both the district and state dropped slightly at grade four. District 10th grade writing scores reached 95.2 percent, up from 93.6 percent, while state scores fell from 86.3 to 85.2 percent.

“The Issaquah Zombie Walk started as a fun thing with friends and neighbors and grew in popularity,” said Tom Gotuzzo, event founder and Downtown Issaquah Association board member. “Zombies are slow, they moan and groan, but they don’t grab or bite. We come in all sizes and many of them are small children,” he said. “We’re starting the ‘walk’ while it’s still light because the cars in traffic went wild honking at us last year and the kids loved it.”

After the 5 p.m. dance is concluded, Zombies will disperse looking for dinner and drinks in local restaurants.

Several pubs are offering Zombie Drink specials.
