COME TOGETHER Beatles tribute band Créme Tangerine to celebrate 10th anniversary in Issaquah

F

or a Northwest Beatle’s tribute band, Créme Tangerine has gained international attention.

Although the five-member band limits its performances to Washington, Oregon and Idaho, in January 2009, Apple Records, the Beatles’ label, wanted to recreate the Beatle’s famous last concert on the rooftop of Apple in London with a local Beatle’s band, but it couldn’t be done because the building’s roof was rotting.

Créme Tangerine decided to recreate that historical concert on the roof of Pike Place Market to lift everyone out of the January blahs – and the beginning of the recession. The video went viral and has been seen around the world. In fact, former Washington state Gov. Christine Gregoire proclaimed Jan. 24 “Créme Tangerine Day.” Now every Jan. 24 they perform the rooftop concert at Pike Place to benefit the Pike Place Foundation Food Bank.

“We’re like Batman — businessmen by day, rock guys by night.”

Together now for 10 years with a few roster changes, Créme Tangerine will celebrate the milestone at Amantes in Issaquah tonight, Nov. 22. The band likes to play Amantes because the owners, Kevo and Monica Baklaian, are big fans of

rock-n-roll, and it is one of only a few venues on the Eastside that has live classic rock.

“Summer was super busy, so we chose Amantes because it’s intimate, they have great service and food, and great crowds,” said Jeff Lockhart, the drummer and

one of the band’s founding members. “They’re doing a really great thing for the community.”

Since it’s a small venue, the show is sold out, but Créme Tangerine will play there again Dec. 20.

“In a club setting, you’re in the moment together (with the audience) and for our 10th we thought it was perfect,” Lockhart said.

With an unanimous vote to pass the 85/15 funding formula out of the way, the Eastside Fire and Rescue board of directors is now faced with making changes, if needed, to the inter-local agreement which binds the partnership together.

With pressure from Sammamish to get results before their Jan. 17, 2014 deadline, the EFR board, consisting of John Magee and Mike Mitchell, both fire district 10 commissioners; Dee Williamson from the North Bend city council; Joe Forkner and Eileen Barber, from the Issaquah city council; and Ramiro Valderrama and Tom Vance from the Sammamish council, agreed to form yet another adhoc committee to review the agreement.

This is the second ad-hoc committee – one was formed to negotiate the new funding formula. Issaquah city council member Paul Winterstein, will represent Issaquah on this new ad-hoc committee.

At the beginning of the Nov. 14 board meeting, it was announced that Ron Pedee, the board's chair from Fire District 38, had stepped down. There was no official statement. With that, vice-chair Barber had to keep order at a very tense meeting.

teetering on the edge of leaving the partnership, and with the deadline for any partner that wishes to leave EFR coming up, the yet to be formed new ad-hoc committee will bring back new recommendations at the next EFR board meeting Dec. 12.

Vance and Valderrama kept reminding the other members that they were up against a deadline – the agreement expires at the close of 2014. If none of the partners withdraw before the end of

“Let’s walk our egos out of here and decide what we can and cannot do.”

- Alan Gothelf, North Bend January 2014, the agreement would be extended for seven years.

EFR Chief Lee Soptich said he was fearful the time frame for new the ad-hoc committee would cause the board to make mistakes, but Valederrama responded by saying that a much more complex agreement – the funding formula – was agreed on in three meetings, so he didn’t see why any changes to the agreement couldn’t be made as quickly.

As tempers flared, Alan Gothelf, from the North Bend City Council, said, “Let’s

walk our egos out of here and decide what we can and cannot do.”

Reviewing the agreement, the ad-hoc committee will be looking at governance and equipment issues among other things.

Currently, each partner in EFR must select an elected official or commissioner to serve on the EFR board. All the partners – except Sammamish – has agreed that EFR should be a non-profit government agency, according to Deputy Chief Greg Tryon.

With that change, the partners can choose who they want to represent them on the EFR board. Sammamish indicated they wanted this in their Nov. 12 resolution.

Sammamish also wants depreciation and maintenance of vehicles and equipment to be the financial responsibility of the partner assigned the vehicle or piece of equipment. Tryon said the equipment is physically located appropriately in order to serve the greater need.

Other points on Sammamish’s wish list are the formation of an operations committee composed of staff from each partner and budget approval by at least six members of the EFR board.

Sammamish wants adoption of its proposed amendments to the agreement

by Jan. 17, 2014. If the EFR board has not adopted a new agreement by that date, the city manager of Sammamish is authorized to “take all steps necessary to initiate the city of Sammamish Fire Department” and include transition funds in the city’s 2014 budget.

In other EFR business, the board voted unanimously to add $22,000 to the overtime budget which gets them to the Dec. 12 board meeting. Fire fighters have been leaving EFR because of the instability, or testing with other agencies.

Swedish gets green light

Hospital can proceed with phase II in the Highlands

BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah easily gained approval of its plan to expand at the Nov. 18 Issaquah city council meeting.

There has been no negative public comment or objection to the hospital expanding its campus in the Issaquah Highlands since the process started. The new agreement affects the north 10 acres of the 28acre campus.

The city removed Swedish from the Highlands development agreement, and created a new 20-year agreement with Swedish.

“Swedish has been a great addition to our community,” said council member Stacy Goodman.

Council member Josh Schaer said the absence of any public comment speaks to the fact that this is a solid proposal.

Chuck Salmon, Swedish’s CEO for the Issaquah campus and ambulatory care centers in Mill Creek and Redmond, said

the organization just hired an architect to create a master use plan for the parcel, which is required by the city.

Salmon said of the 10 acres, 530,000 square feet is developable space they can use. Eventually there could be upward of three new buildings he said, but for now a second medical/professional building is in the plan which will somehow be connected to the hospital and existing medical building.

“We’ll have some sort of skybridge or other way to move pedestrians,” he said.

Swedish is required to have 10,000 square feet of community space, which Salmon said gives them the opportunity to be creative. More retail shops could be incorporated into the new building, linked to medical and health care needs he said.

Public transit accessibility has also been taken into consideration.

Salmon is retiring at the end of Feb. 2014, but he said working on the Issaquah project has been “the icing on the cake” to his 42-year career.

Issaquah City Council passes 2014 budget

BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Issaquah approved its 2014 budget Nov. 18, with little fanfare and no public comment. Key factors include the first property tax increase in six years, 1 percent overall.

The increase amounts to $3.83 annually on a home with an assessed valuation of $440,000.

The city's cash reserves are estimated to remain at or near the current level, said finance director Diane Marcotte.

A local improvement district (No. 25), to cut a new road through from 221st Place S.E. to the retail area around Costco, will see more activity in 2014. City officials expect the road improvements to relieve traffic congestion in north Issaquah in an area bounded by East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, Southeast 56th Street/ Northwest Sammamish Road, 17th Avenue Northwest and Interstate 90.

The city is also committed to further implementation of Lean principles, designed to reduce waste and increase efficiency of an organization.

The budget also adds one new police officer and two new construction inspectors.

Council chairman and Mayor-elect Fred

Butler said the council reviewed the budget based on categories rather then line items, as in the past.

"The council recognizes the administration's efforts in responsibly managing the budget during these tough economic times," Butler said. "Our deliberations resulted in adjustments that reflect the council's priorities and a concern that as proposed, the 2014 general fund budget is not sustainable unless there are changes over the next few years."

A $400,000 reduction in the general fund was made by reducing the LID guaranty fund, established to offset non-payment of LID fees, while the city hopes to generate $400,000 by increasing building and site permit fees (see related story below).

The budget anticipates an $137,000 increase in sales tax revenue, while decreasing funding for professional services for the development services department, legal services, dental premiums, shared services, a senior planner and a $25,225 decrease to street funding, which is mostly street sweeping.

Also, the construction of a public works operations shop facility in the Highlands will be delayed pending the outcome of the Klahanie annexation vote.

Issaquah exploring raising fees

BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Land use and site work permits could go up next year in Issaquah.

Deputy city administrator Charlie Bush said revenues from permits are only covering 57 percent of the cost to issue a permit.

The city administration is recommending 100 percent cost recovery.

At a council work session, both council members Tola Marts and Eileen Barber were hesitant to go to 100 percent at once for fear of “sticker shock.” For example, a preliminary plat fee would go from $16,208 to $29,730 and a lot line adjustment would jump to $7,610 from $607.80 per a fee study by accounting firm and business consultants Moss-Adams. The study also recommends a pre-application fee.

Council member Joe Forkner questioned if the fees are reasonable given the service that is provided, while council member Josh Schaer wondered at what point higher fees could be a deal-breaker sending potential business away from the city.

“At what point do you start depressing economic development?” Schaer queried.

He said the 100 percent didn’t mean as much to him as encouraging the kind of development Issaquah wants to see.

Development agreements, such as the Issaquah Highlands and Talus, have typically

“At what point do you start depressing economic development?”

- Councilman Josh Schaer been at 100 percent cost recovery Bush said, which were specified in the agreements. Rowley and Lakeside developments also have different fee schedules, he said.

The idea to phase in the increases over three years is what the council is thinking of proposing.

“I’m not a developer, but I work with them,” Forkner said. “A permit of $100,000 would jump to about $150,000. If we’re going to raise fees it needs to be heavily advertised.”

Forkner said anyone who is already in the door shouldn’t have fees raised on them midway through a project. He suggested waiting until July 1, 2014 to begin to raise the fees.

The issue will be reviewed and discussed at the Dec. 10 meeting of the council’s land and shore committee.

Santa visit for children with autism spectrum disorder Springfree Trampoline of Issaquah will be hosting a Sensitive Santa holiday party on Saturday December 7 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sensitive Santa is an autism friendly visit with Santa Claus. The store will be a calming place for families to have their photos taken with Santa in a sensory friendly setting. Springfree

Trampoline will provide light snacks and the opportunity for the children to jump on the trampolines. There is no charge for this event and it is open to all ages.

Therapists at Lakeside Center for Autism in Issaquah have found jumping on a trampoline is an activity all of the kids at the facility enjoy and benefit from.

Butler said the council would like to explore options to update the city vision statement by the first quarter of 2014, identify possible funds for a reverse 911 system by the second quarter, evaluate financial stability in the first quarter and generate a report of the operations of Tibbetts Creek Manor in the third quarter.

Council member Tola Marts commended the group for conducting the entire budget process on camera, which was his idea.

"It's not an easy thing to raise taxes," Marts said. "We looked hard at decreases in expenditures and support fees rather than taxes."

He said that in this way the users are paying, rather than spreading the cost out to the community as a whole.

The entire budget is online at ci.issaquah. wa.us/.

Hips and knees are replaceable because time spent missing out on life isn’t.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say?

“I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of jointreplacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.

ALMOST THERE

Just a few more steps will keep Eastside Fire and Rescue whole

T

he cities and organizations that make up Eastside Fire and Rescue are inching ever closer to an agreement to keep the entity intact.

Count us cautiously optimistic that this will happen.

Sammamish, which has sought changes in funding and operation of EFR, appears to be getting what it wants. One by one, the cities and fire districts that make up EFR are approving a new funding model that will save Sammamish more than $400,000 each year. The next step is to craft a new agreement among all the parties that deals with other aspects of the operation.

Sammamish isn’t likely to get everything it wants; after all, other members of EFR likely have changes of their own that they would like to see implemented.

The key is to take these final steps of negotiation seriously and not let irritating distractions get in the way. We have confidence that those tasked to craft a new agreement are up to the task. With everyone working hard, there should be a new agreement around within the next several weeks. That would be a good reason to celebrate the start of a new year.

Boeing, machinists still need to talk Boeing machinists didn’t do the state any favors in voting down a proposal from Boeing to trade future pay and benefits for keeping production of the company’s new 777X plane here in the Puget Sound region. Union members strongly rejected contract terms that would put their retirement future in 401(k)s instead of Boeing pensions. Other contract conditions also galled many members.

Machinists saw their climb into middle class sliding away.

Boeing is now looking around to see what other cities and/ or states might offer to get this years-long manufacturing deal.

But this doesn’t mean Boeing is ready to bail on the Northwest.

Machinists here are experts in building Boeing planes – and fixing the mistakes caused by workers elsewhere. Remember the Dreamliner mess?

It may be hard to get both sides talking to each other, but it’s in everyone’s best interest that they do.

LETTERS City, volunteers made 'Nightmare' a success A public “Thank You” to the city of Sammamish for its significant partnership and support of Sammamish Rotary’s “Nightmare at Beaver Lake” held over 10 nights in October through Halloween.

The 10th annual “Nightmare at Beaver Lake” was a phenomenal success, complete with over 380 volunteers as actors and in other roles: casting, makeup, security, transportation, line control, ticket booth, kitchen crew, design, construction, and so much more. And, no rain!

The “Nightmare” is 100 percent volunteers and 100 percent for charity.

More than 13,000 patrons attended the show, a record attendance.

Proceeds from the “Nightmare” provide grants for local agencies that serve children and families, college scholarships to graduating seniors from Eastlake, Skyline, and Eastside Catholic high schools, and funding for Rotary’s international projects such as polio eradication.

Additionally, Rotary provides a scholarship to a “Nightmare”

volunteer, nominated by Scare Productions, our production partner.

The scholarship was presented this year to Sammamish resident Kacy Hardin, a six-year actor and member of the construction crew, at the postshow cast party held Nov. 16 at the Sammamish Boys & Girls Club. Kacy is attending Bellevue College with plans to transfer to UW to major in environmental science.

Producing the Nightmare at Beaver Lake is a year-round endeavor.

Please visit NightmareatBeaverLake. com regularly for updates on our year-round activities.

A call to ride Do you remember with fondness walking or riding your bike to school when you were a kid? I remember it as being one of the things I treasure most from my childhood. A bit of freedom, responsibility, fresh air and exercise all at once.

Did you also know that only 13 percent of school-aged children walk or ride their bike to school today, compared to over 50 percent one generation ago?

I encourage parents of schoolaged children in Sammamish and

?

Question of the week:

“ Do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy?”

Issaquah who are not on a bus route to give their kids the same gifts that we had as children. Let them walk or ride their bike to school.

Our schools are required by law to provide a “safe pedestrian walking and biking route” within one mile of the school. There should be a map published by your school illustrating this route. Principals should work with city engineers, law enforcement and parents to ensure this safe route by utilizing crosswalks, sidewalks, and crossing guards.

If you live within a mile of your school and drive your child to and from school every day, try walking, even if it is just one day a week. Grab some of your neighbors and walk in a group. Make stops along the way to include other children. Buy a properly sized bike and helmet for your child and find another child they can partner with.

My children love riding their bikes to school at Creekside Elementary and it is our dream to see the bike racks packed with bikes and scooters rather than the all too usual sight of empty racks and cars lined up for blocks waiting to pick up their children at the front door to drive them half a mile home.

Issaquah School Board named Board of Distinction For the fourth consecutive year, the Issaquah School Board – Brian Deagle, Marnie Maraldo, Alison Meryweather, Anne Moore, and Suzanne Weaver – has been named a Board of Distinction by the Washington State School Directors’ Association. Only 14 other school boards across the state earned the honor.

The award honors school boards that demonstrate effective use of the Washington School Board standards, developed and adopted in 2009, promote research-based governance practices that lead to high levels of student and district achievement.

Award applicants submit an essay and supporting evidence to demonstrate how they are putting the standards into practice.

This year, applicants addressed the following: n Adopting policies based on wellresearched practices that emphasize a belief that all students can achieve at high levels. n Ensuring non-negotiable goals for student achievement are established and aligned to the district’s plan. n Ensuring management of the organization, operations, and resources for an efficient and effective learning environment. n Committing to continuous improvement in student achievement at each school and throughout the district. n Soliciting input from staff and a wide spectrum of the community so that a diverse range of interests and perspectives on issues is considered.

Senn calls Boeing package a ‘win’ Newly appointed state Rep. Tana Senn called the recent aerospace package passed by the Legislature "a great economic win for our region." Senn, who represents the 41st Legislative District, was appointed to the open legislative seat by the King County Council. Her district includes Issaquah and Sammamish, along with Beaux Arts, Mercer Island, Renton and the southern portion of Bellevue.

One of the components of the aerospace package concerns investments in work force development. House Bill 2088, which

Senn co-sponsored, is part of the effort.

"We emphasize job creation and workforce development in this bipartisan legislative package," she said. "The planned, state-of-the-art Central Sound Aerospace Training Center (C-SAT) will see a $5 million boost in funding, thanks to the terms of this legislation."

The center will provide classroom and hands-on training for participating students from local schools, community colleges and other training facilities.

CRÉME TANGERINE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

guitar, Chuck Dorsett on keyboards and vocals, Tim Mushen on guitar and vocals and Warren Kinser on bass.

All of them have day jobs. Lockhart is a professor at Northwest University in Kirkland, teaching music industry business and recording art technology. Prather is the global production manager for Microsoft.com. Dorsett is in IT for the State Department of Transportation. Mushen is the CEO of Clock Tower Media. Kinser is a developer at Clock Tower Media. With rehearsals and family lives, these are very busy guys. Four of the members live on the East side, while one lives in Seattle.

The band started with Lockhart, Dorsett and Mushen jamming together. They all had a common connection in the Beatles, so the three of them decided to learn to play the songs from “The White Album,” the epic two-disc record, which was released in November 1968. It took them a year to get the entire album down, note for note.

A buddy in another band asked them to open for him, so they did, performing only songs from the “The White Album,” because that’s all they knew. At the time they called the band “Mother Superior and the Warm Guns,” but as its popularity grew changed the name to “Créme Tangerine” because the name is more “marketable and G-rated.” Both names reference Beatles lyrics or titles. Créme Tangerine is a lyric in the song “Savoy Truffle,” on “The White Album.”

“The shows kept getting bigger,” Lockhart said. “We were like Batman – businessmen by day, rock guys by night.”

Now the band can do 80 percent of the Beatles catalog – no small feat.

The band does studio work for other local musicians that need a studio

band since there is a market for musicians in this music-rich area. Créme Tangerine also performs classic rock favorites by the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Queen. They roll out the heavy stuff when they perform at Sounders and Seahawks games to pump up the

“I never get tired of the music — it always amazes me.”

- Byron Prather crowds.

But it always comes back to the Beatles.

“I never get tired of it,” Prather said.

“The melodies are amazing, the lyrics are amazing; I never get tired of the music – it always amazes me.”

Prather remembers playing at Amantes once before, and seeing 10- to 13-year-olds singing the music.

It’s timeless, and no matter what age, people seem to know the music. Lockhart remembers a 12-year-old boy coming up to him telling him he did a song wrong – that “John did it this way and you did it that way.”

Indeed, Lockhart and Prather don’t believe anyone will remember Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus 100 years from now, but 500 years from now the Beatles music will live on.

“Something in the universe brought these four people together and they pushed all the boundaries,” Lockhart said. “What they did was profound.”

When the band was only two years old, Lockhart took his then young children and his wife to Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park, where,

Friday, November 22, 2013

astoundingly, Sir Paul McCartney was signing a children’s book he wrote called “High in the Clouds.”

“It was like a Willie Wonka experience – I got the golden ticket so we got to meet and talk to Paul for five minutes,” Lockhart said.

He was stunned. He didn’t tell McCartney about Créme Tangerine. In fact, he said Sir Paul focused his attention on Lockhart’s kids asking them about school and so on.

“He’s 71 and is still making music that is vital,” Lockhart said. He loves McCartney’s new CD, “New,” which is receiving rave revues. All the members of Créme Tangerine were in attendance at the huge McCartney concert last summer at Safeco Field.

A story about Créme Tangerine would not be complete without mentioning the charitable work the band does. One of Prather’s favorite concert venues is the historical Bing Crosby Theater, where they performed to benefit World Relief of Spokane.

“Everyone knows Beatle music, so it works well with charitable causes,” he said.

The band rehearses on Mondays in Lockhart’s garage turned rehearsal studio.

“We come into rehearsal really stripped down, and just try to get through everything, but when we play live, we have all the gear,” Prather said.

Créme Tangerine will focus on Beatles music at Amantes because all the guys who have ever been in the band – 10 all together – will be there.

If you want to see them at the Dec. 20 show, reserve space now.

This coming summer is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles invasion of Seattle, so at 7 p.m. on Aug. 21 Créme Tangerine will perform at Seattle Center’s Mural Amphitheatre to commemorate that historic visit.

Group seeking donations to honor veterans with wreaths on graves

A local group is sponsoring a ceremony at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Bellevue on Dec. 14 to honor the more than 1,800 veterans buried there.

Called "Wreaths Across America," the event seeks to place a wreath on every grave of a veteran at Sunset Hills. A community wide ceremony will take place at 10 a.m.

The local group faces a deadline of Nov. 22 to receive enough money to order wreaths for the veterans' graves.

The wreaths will be delivered to cemeteries by volunteer trucking companies and firms such as Wal-Mart and FedEx. On the East Coast, wreaths are delivered to Arlington National Cemetery by a truck convoy running from northern Maine to Virginia.

Those who wish to contribute to the effort have two ways to do so: Write a check (for any amount) or for $15 per wreath and mail it to "Wreaths Across America," at Lucas & Lucas, P.S., 919 124th Ave. N.E., #101, Bellevue, WA. 98005.

Donors should include their return address so that a receipt may be issued to them by "Wreaths Across America" for your tax-deductible contribution.

People also can click on the following link to go directly to the "Wreaths Across America" website’s wreath order page: http://bit.ly/1jnyljm.

After clicking on the link, a page will open and then very quickly it will be replaced by another page that has the headline “Search For a Participant." The

Community Roundup

What’s happening in Issaquah and Sammamish

True Martial Arts hosting seminar for Phillipines Over the past 31 years, True Martial Arts in Sammamish has passionately taught thousands of people in the community Arnis, which is a Filipino stick fighting art. Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever recorded‚ completely devastated parts of the Philippines. More than 9.8 million people have been affected by the devastation, according to the United Nations. Many are now struggling to survive without food, water, or shelter.

On Friday, Nov. 22, True Martial Arts will be offering an Arnis seminar to raise money to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. All of the instructors will be donating their time. The event will run from 5:45 to 7 p.m. The fee is $20, and it will go directly to the Philippine Red Cross. Wear something to work out in.

They have plenty of Arnis sticks to lend out for the seminar.

Gift wrapping offered at Issaquah Depot Have your gifts wrapped while listening to live holiday music or riding the Issaquah Valley Trolley at the Issaquah Depot as a part of Shop Local, an event hosted by the Downtown Issaquah Association.

The depot will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Sat. Nov. 30, for folks to take a break from shopping while volunteers wrap presents in exchange for donations to support Issaquah History Museums public programming.

Also offered will be live holiday music and a temporary exhibit of antique toys and Christmas decorations made during the Depression from used cans. The trolley will be giving rides, weather permitting.

The history museums is adopting “Reuse as a Way of Life in Old Issaquah,” as its theme to connect the gift wrapping activity to its mission, “to connect the past to the present and to use the past to inform the future.”

Issaquah History Museums is taking Issaquah’s version of Shop Local Day

a step further by adding the concept of reuse to that of buying locally. It is connecting the current reduce, reuse, recycle‚ movement to the way of its predecessors who reused materials and drew from what was around them rather than purchasing disposable materials for one-time wrapping use.

The Sammamish Yogurtland will be celebrating it’s grand opening Sat. Nov. 23, with an entire day of events.

At the plateau’s newest self-serve frozen yogurt shop, guests will be welcomed by a bright, cheerful wall of sweet and tart yogurt flavors and a premium-topping bar filled with both healthy and indulgent options. Guests can choose among 16 yogurt flavors to create their own delicious frozen treat and top it off however they’d like, with payment by the ounce.

At 10 a.m. there will be a ribbon cutting with the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce followed by free yogurt and toppings from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., a balloon artist and face painter from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., free prizes and giveaways from 5 to 8 p.m. and buy one get one free on yogurt and toppings from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The new Sammamish location is owned and operated by Rahim Karmali, an experienced quick-serve operator.

“My family and I are Yogurtland regulars, and we love the yogurt so much we decided to make it part of our daily life. As franchise owners, we are excited to serve Yogurt-

land’s delicious, high quality frozen yogurt to the Sammamish community,” said Karmali, who coordinates other Yogurtland locations in Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way, and Renton.

Separating Yogurtland from competitors is the company’s team of flavorologists, who develop the proprietary recipes for the 80 different and customized flavors.

Whether traditional or exotic, each flavor uses real ingredients sourced from their original locations. Yogurtland controls the entire frozen yogurt making process.

According to Yogurtland, naturally occurring calcium and Vitamin D make the yogurt a healthy, refreshing treat. Fruit flavors are also fortified with Vitamin C. All of Yogurtland’s flavors meet the National Yogurt Association Criteria for “live and active culture frozen yogurt” and are produced in a kosher-certified facility. Yogurtland features non- and low-fat yogurt flavors as well as non-dairy and no sugar added choices.

Presently there are more than 260 locations across the U.S., Australia, Guam, Mexico and Venezuela with more than 50 additional locations scheduled to open over the next six months.

The Sammamish location located at 600 228th Ave NE, is near the Safeway grocery store.

Sammamish picks more expensive version for new community center

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY

KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

The Sammamish City Council voted Monday night to support the more expensive plan for a new community center, instead of one that would provide fewer amenities.

The more expensive plan – $34.3 million – was the original version prepared by city planners, but after discussion a less-expensive $30 million plan also was presented.

In a recent community vote, Sammamish citizens voted "yes" to specific community center features, such as a lap pool with six lanes, a family spa, a full-sized gym and a smaller gym. Mayor Tom Odell said that since residents made it clear they want a community center with certain features, the worst mistake the council could make would

be to undersize the project at this point.

Councilwoman Nancy Whitten agreed, referencing the boost in the economy and an increase in revenue as a reason to approve the more expensive option.

Those opposed were Councilman John Curley and Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama. Valderrama said that just because the economy has gotten better doesn't mean that another $5 million needs to be thrown at the project.

Curley agreed and said it's too easy to spend other people's money without thinking about the consequences.

In a 5-2 vote, the council approved the $34.3 million plan and will move forward with community center plans. It is scheduled to open in the late fall of 2015.

Best in Class challenges the brightest students

BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Victor Ho needed to be challenged by the time he was in the seventh or eighth grade.

Math was a breeze for him. So, he enrolled in enrichment classes at the only locations of Best in Class at the time, which were in Seattle and Bellevue.

Ho has come full circle, now as the manager of the Issaquah location of this rapidly expanding business, and the company’s chief technology officer. While attending high school in Redmond he was a teacher’s assistant for Best in Class. He received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Washington, but while in college he continued to teach part-time at the Bellevue location which he found rewarding.

He graduated from college and began to work in the mortgage industry a year or two before the economic crash, all the while teaching at Best in Class. When the mortgage industry crashed as well, Best in Class founder and CEO Hao Lam began to teach him the managerial side to the business.

Now he is not only the manager of the Issaquah center, but one of 80 instructors in Washington for Best in Class.

Lam established the company in 1995 in Bellevue.

“We just franchised a couple of years ago,” Lam said. “We plan to open 20 new centers next year.”

The Issaquah location at 1505 N.W. Gilman, Suite 6, has been in business five years. A new location in Sammamish opened six months ago.

Tutoring and enrichment for math and English are the most popular programs. Class sizes are limited to six for English and eight for math.

“It takes more time for English,” Ho said. “It’s all individualized.”

He said the instructors try to encourage more creative, persuasive and argumentative writing. Classes meet once a week for an hour and 15 minutes.

He said most of the work is enrichment, or supplementing what the student is learning in school.

“Either they’re behind, or feel they are not being challenged,” Ho said.

He said a visual arts teacher also comes in on Wednes-

Victor Ho

days. In addition the centers prepare students for the SAT test in group settings or one-on-one. Also offered is a gifted test program to help students prepare to get into gifted programs in their respective high schools.

Ho serves about 100 students in Issaquah — the Sammamish center is maxed out with about 60 students because it’s only open Wednesdays.

The Issaquah center is open Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, with Sunday be-

ing the busiest.

Cost for a subject is $100 per month. Ho said most of the clients are elementary or high school students, with some middle school kids. Non-traditional and college students are rare.

Best in Class is accepting new students.

“He made a lot of contribution to the company because he knows the business inside out,” said Lam of Ho. “He streamlined the website, social media and does all of the IT development.”

Issaquah back in semi-finals after dramatic win over rival The road back to the state semi-finals has been anything but smooth for the Issaquah girls soccer team.

Three straight losses, two to rival Skyline, put the Eagles in a loser-out game not a month after they had been tied for the conference lead.

But a month later, and after a dramatic win over the Spartans in penalty kicks, coach Tom Bunnell and his team find themselves once again among the final four teams in the state and are set to face Olympia at 8 p.m. Nov. 22 at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup for a spot in the title game.

“I think they are excited about proving they deserve to be where they are,” Bunnell said. “There is an expectation and they live up to it.”

Two straight losses to rival Skyline ended Issaquah’s hopes of capturing a KingCo championship. Another loss to Inglemoor meant win or go home in the next game against Kamiak. Senior captain Juliana da Cruz said despite the setbacks, the team found itself working harder than ever with the idea of redefining their season.

“We found out how much we can really dig deep and find that passion,” she said.

“We learned what we needed to work on

and those practices were really sharp.”

The confidence and perseverance paid off in one of the biggest ways possible Saturday, when the Eagles erased a 1-0 Skyline lead in the second half before winning 5-4 in penalty kicks to keep their season alive and return the favor to a group of Spartans that beat them in last year’s title game.

But as satisfying as the win was, Bunnell said there are no misconceptions about the ultimate goal for the season, one that now lies only two wins away.

“That game has to go behind us and just be a fond memory,” he said. “I’m positive they can deal with that.”

Olympia had a similarly dramatic win in its quarterfinal game, beating Inglemoor in a shootout to reach the semifinals for the first time since 1995 and the first time ever in Class 4A. Issaquah takes a wealth of experience south for the final two rounds of the tournament, having reached the championship match last year after taking a similar route through the postseason.

“It helps a lot, that whole piece of having been there before,” Bunnell said. “Enjoy it, but really have a mindset of being there to work.”

The state title game is set for 4 p.m. Nov. 23 at back at Sparks Stadium, with the third-place game scheduled for noon.

Little

Issaquah and Skyline went all the way to penalty kicks to decide their final meeting of the season, and it was the Eagles that prevailed with a spot in the Class 4A state semifinals on the line, taking the shootout 5-4 after the two played to a 1-1 draw throughout regulation and overtime. The win sent coach Tom Bunnell’s squad to a Friday game against Olympia and ended the season of the KingCo champion and defending 4A state champion Spartans. RICK EDELMAN, Courtesy Photo

Camas (12-0), 3 p.m. Saturday Eastlake overcame a rash of injuries and a determined group from Union last week in the first round of the 4A state football tournament, holding on with a late fumble recovery to beat the visiting Titans 34-27 and advance to this week’s quarterfinals.

The task grows monumentally Saturday, as top-ranked Camas treks north to Sammamish with a trip to the Tacoma Dome on the line.

If the Wolves are to reach that stage for the first time in program history, they will have to slow a Papermakers’ offense that enters that game with 44 as its low point total on the year. That came in a 44-6 Camas win over the same Camas team Eastlake faced last week. Only Jesuit (Portland, Ore.), which lost 47-14 in the opening game of the year, has finished within 35 points of the offensive juggernaut from outside Vancouver.

In three playoff games, each a five touchdown win, Camas is averaging just more than 60 points per game.

But junior wide receiver Jeffrey Feinglas said his own team’s run through the Crest schedule and postseason has them feeling like they belong among the state’s best, especially after last year’s miss in the KingCo crossover round.

“Last season, losing in the first round to Roosevelt was just an empty feeling,” he said. “None of us are thinking we don’t want it to end, we’re just taking it game-bygame and doing the best we can to extend our season.”

Eastlake has progressed steadily since a pair of losses, first to Skyline then Crest

champion Bothell, which left their record at 2-2.

“In reality, we needed those games,” Bartel said. “We are no where near the same team we were in weeks three and four. It is funny to look back at that film.”

In seven straight wins, the Wolves have scored 40 or more points four times and allowed an average of 19 points per game.

The winner advances to face the winner of another quarterfinal between Bellarmine Prep and Bothell in the Tacoma Dome.

Eastside Catholic (10-2) VS. Meadowdale (8-4), 5 p.m.

Saturday, Seattle Memorial Stadium A 75-yard touchdown pass from Harley Kirsch to Brandon Wellington in the final minute of the game erased a tie after a Marysville-Pilchuck score and sent Eastside Catholic to a 42-35 win and the quarterfinals of the 3A state football tournament this week against Meadowdale.

The Crusaders, winners of four straight and eight of their last nine games, overcame a standout performance from junior Austin Joyner last week to leave Quil Ceda Stadium with a win on Kirsch’s second touchdown pass on the night.

Wellington, a sophomore, finished as his team’s leading rusher with 95 yards on 25 carries, also catching 4 passes for 121 yards and the game-winner.

The Mavericks from Lynnwood have won a pair of playoff games to salvage their season and move one win from the Tacoma Dome after three consecutive losses to close the regular season.

A win for the Crusaders would mean the program’s second ever, and second consecutive, trip to the state semi-finals and a possible rematch with O’Dea, which was the last team to beat EC, 63-45.

Skyline girls fourth in pool just behind sixth-place Inglemoor. Umezawa also earned an eighth place finish in the finals of the 100 backstroke in 1:00.83, while Chase Raines was sixth in the B Final. Salgado was sixth in the B Final of the 100 breaststroke.

Annette Guo, Munoz, Lin and Umezawa finished fifth in the 400 free relay in 3:41.43.

Lin, who was also in the field for the 100 breaststroke, finished fourth in the 100 fly, with Munoz sixth, and Umezawa sev-

enth in the B Final as well.

Sophomore Elyse Kaczmarek was seventh in the B Final of the 200 individual medley for the Spartans in 2:18.08, with Darian Himes in the preliminary field.

Spartans fall to Federal Way

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

The scene was an unfamiliar one at Skyline High School after last Friday’s state playoff football game.

Players and coaches speaking solemnly on the field, an unsettling sight on the scoreboard in the distance.

After capturing two straight 4A state championships, four since 2007 and reaching the championship game in each of the past five seasons, the Spartans were knocked from the state football tournament before reaching the Tacoma Dome for the first time since 2006, falling 26-20 to Federal Way in the opening round.

“They just continued to come after it,” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said of Federal finals of the diving competition to finish in third place and was not the only member of the Wolves on the podium, as junior Christina Torrente scored 329.05 to finish sixth.

Eastlake was fifth in the B Final of the 400 free relay with Alyssa Poggemann, Ellis, Ally Haase and Newton swimming 3:49.39 and Aimee Ellis made the prelims in the 100 backstroke along with Erin Alleva, who also made the prelims of the 100 breaststroke. Ellis,

Way’s offense. “That running back (McClatcher) is special, he is unbelievable.”

The head coach of the two-time defending 4A state champions said for a group that lost the Gatorade National Player of the Year and an All-American in quarterback Max Browne, along with a host of other Division I players and starters from last year, the growth both on the field and in the collective confidence was measurable for the 2013 group, tabbed “Team XVII” within the program as the 17th since the school opened.

“I wanted them to know how proud of them I was,” he said. “They battled, they continued to fight and get better. It just didn’t work out.”

Staff writer Josh Suman can be reached at 425453-5045 or jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Alleva, Alyssa Poggemann and Hsu were in 1:57.15 in the prelims of the 200 medley relay.

Issaquah senior Gabrielle Gevers won the B Final of the 50 free in 24.49 and was fifth in the B Final of the 100 free in 54.59 and led the quartet in the 200 free relay, where she teamed with Samantha Harbeck, Francois and Matsuda to finish second in the B Final of that event. Gevers, Brooke Flaten, Francois and Matsuda won the

B Final of the 400 free relay in 3:43.70. Matsuda earned the best individual finish of the meet for the Eagles, taking a fourth place finish in the 500 free in 5:12.82 to get on the podium.

Issaquah’s duo of Katie Maier and Michelle Francois were fourth and eighth respectively in the B Final.

Issaquah finished 11th in the team scoring, with Eastlake 16th. Newport won the championship for the second consecutive year.

Skyline picked up a fourth place team finish at the 4A girls swim and dive meet Saturday at King County Aquatic Center, finishing with the second best total among KingCo squads and earning a host of medals in the process.

The Spartans got their best finish of the meet in the diving competition, where Erin Taylor was second, putting up a score of 258.25 in the semi-finals before coming back to post 373.40 in the finals while teammate Alyssa Holt was 13th with a 278.10.

Senior Stephanie Munoz was fourth in the 200 free for the Spartans, swimming 1:55.13 in the finals.

Chase Raines won the B Final of the 500 free in 5:20.00. Yui Umezawa, Gabrielle Salgado, Stephanie Munoz and Kathy Lin were seventh in the finals of the 200 medley relay, swimming 1:52.76 and

Skyline recovered a fumble in the fourth quarter to extend its lead, but was unable to hold off Federal Way in the 4A state quarterfinals. JIM NICHOLSON, Courtesy Photo
