Plans change Groundbreaking on new Issaquah Middle School set for summer 2014

Students chant “love is love,” “change the church,” “love always wins,” “no more hate” and “God is love, stop the hate,” at Friday’s demonstration for Mark Zmuda outside of the Archdiocese of Seattle.

The plan has changed a bit since the original concept for a new Issaquah Middle School, Clark Elementary and Tiger Mountain High School.

Now, the new middle school will be built on a play field north of Issaquah High School.

With the city of Issaquah’s approval of the Central Issaquah Plan, Steve Crawford, director of capital projects for the school district, estimates 2,859 new kids are anticipated over the next 30 years.

“Costs are revealing we may have to make a denser campus,” he said at the Dec. 11 school board meeting.

With higher density in the Issaquah Highlands and as Issaquah’s urban core density accelerates, the district has to look at how to accommodate the pressure, should it occur.

So, now rather than a two-story middle school, the district will build a more compact three-story building with a smaller footprint, leaving room to add on when needed.

The plan is to break ground on the new middle school next summer. When that building is ready in the fall of 2015 and the students move in, the old middle school will be remodeled — and some of it replaced — and become the new home

STUDENT REBELLION

Eastside Catholic vice principal’s ouster starts a movement LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

What started out with five students “got big very, very fast” said Eastside Catholic School senior Kyle Bastian, 18.

The forced resignation of popular vice-principal and swim coach Mark Zmuda for marrying his same-sex partner, Dana Jergens, last summer, had Eastside Catholic students upset and expressing solidarity for Zmuda.

Sister Mary Tracy, president and CEO of the school, said Zmuda was in violation of the teachings of the Catholic Church, not something at Eastside Catholic.

“It’s a firm decision,” Tracy said.

“If the teachings of the church change, I’d hire him back in a minute. He’s a wonderful educator.”

Zmuda received a Bachelor of Science in mathematics education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute

and State University in Virginia, and holds a Master of Arts in educational leadership and policy studies from the University of Texas, with principal certification.

She said they hope to hire an excellent replacement, and in the interim they do have an excellent assistant swim coach.

Zmuda’s last day at the school was Dec. 20. Although the school was closed, he would coach his last swim meet that day.

While Zmuda was preparing for the swim meet, over 100 people gathered in front of the Archdiocese of Seattle to demonstrate in his support, calling for changes to the church. Young and old, Catholic and non-Catholic, they were there.

“I believe everyone has the right to be married if they love someone, and God loves everyone,” said Eastside Catholic student Nicole Costello. “That’s what they preach in my school.”

Costello said she was one of the

first students at a sit-in Thursday morning, Dec. 19, at the school.

Bastian said the sit-in was originally planned for Dec. 20, but things “just exploded.” Since television media were not allowed on the campus, the students marched out to 228th Avenue Southeast before returning to the school’s gymnasium where they had a sit-in from about 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., according to student organizer Maddie Racine. Maddie’s father, Mike Racine, came to the school to stand with her to support Zmuda. A product of Catholic school himself, Mike Racine called the situation “morally bankrupt.”

At Friday’s demonstration, Charles Fuchs said he hasn’t been a member of the Catholic Church in 40 years, but he too had attended Catholic schools. He said he was encouraged to see the young people peacefully calling for change in the church.

“I’m here in support of this person who got fired and I think

“If the teachings of the church change, I’d hire him back in a minute.”

– Sister Mary Tracy it’s duplicitous of the church to be doing this,” Fuchs said.

John Dunn of Seattle is an active member of the church, and was visiting with Fuchs.

He said Jesus came to challenge the religious and political leaders of his time.

“He broke a whole lot of rules to teach inclusiveness,” Dunn said. “Locally we’ve moved a long way on this, but the church has not.”

A myriad of signs were displayed by demonstrators such as “God is with thee, Mr. Z,” “Catholics for marriage equality,” “WWJD?” “Educators now — nurses next?” and “21st Century Catholics for a 21st Century Church.”

Chants - loud enough for those inside the Archdiocese offices to hear, included “Change the church,” “Love always wins,” “No more hate” and “God is love, stop the hate.” If church administrators didn’t get the message before, they surely did as students took turns on the bullhorn speaking in support of Zmuda.

Maddie Racine took to the bullhorn.

“We’re here to pray for Mr. Z….… and we need to change the church,” she said. “We’re all here to support that and win.”

Even Seattle Mayor-elect Ed Murray came to the demonstration. Murray, who is openly gay, married his partner last summer.

Murray was pleased to see all the young people there “changing the world.” He said he was not there as mayor-elect, but rather in support of Zmuda.

“The Catholic Church, which I am a member of, teaches social justice and family,” he said. “We must treat people fairly. Catholic families are looking at this right now saying this is my brother, this is my sister.”

Murray said he has not talked to the Archdiocese about the issue.

Alex Kovar, an 18-year-old senior at Eastside Catholic said that 30 to 40 students protested in front of Sammamish City Hall

the morning of Dec. 20 as well. The protest was organized by students from Eastlake High School. Kovar said Seattle Preparatory School also had a sit-in Dec. 19.

“Our goal is equal rights and to change the churches’ long-standing doctrine that homosexuality is a sin,” Kovar said. “We’re all children of God and should be treated equally.

Pope Francis said ‘who am I to judge’ (when asked about homosexuality). Mr. Zmuda is a very good man and he didn’t deserve this. It doesn’t make sense that one minor detail cost him his job.”

At the Archdiocese demonstration Kovar said to the crowd that he’d never been more proud to be a crusader on a day that could go down in history.

“I think we’ve made a huge impact,” said Maddie Racine.

Racine said a mass text — origin unknown — went out the night of Dec. 18 that Zmuda was being let go, kicking off the entire series of events. During the sit-in, students, Zmuda, principal Polly Skinner and Sister Tracy had a discussion.

“They said it’s the Archdiocese of Seattle who made the decision,” she said. “There’s nothing they can do. It’s sad to see a teacher punished for his beliefs that are in no way affiliated with what he does or his job.”

A 2013 Eastside Catholic graduate, Rachel Nelson, said they hoped to talk to the Archdiocese after the holidays.

Students from other Catholic schools in the Seattle area also showed their support. A student displayed a photo that was emailed to him from a friend at Holy Names Academy in Seattle of a large group holding up a sign that said, “We support EC.” The demonstration at the Archdiocese ended with students singing along to Seattle rapper Macklemore’s “Same Love,” a song about being homosexual not being a choice.

They sang, they hugged, smiled and danced, all for Mr. Z.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

of Clark Elementary.

The existing elementary will be torn down after the old middle school is remodeled and reconfigured to accommodate Clark Elementary students.

An existing building near the old middle school will be remodeled into a new two-story Tiger Mountain High School, which will eliminate the portables that now house those students.

A new football field and track will be built to the west of the new middle school. A parcel to the East, which was thought to be a good location for a field, is too costly to develop because of contaminants left as a result of a skeet range that once was on the property. Crawford said it will be left undeveloped.

Crawford said the plan is to combine the high school and middle school bus loops in a central location between the

two campuses. The current high school bus loop will become parking for students and staff and will have the same number of spaces.

Part of the rationale for these changes is budget. Crawford stressed that this is a long-term plan, but these three schools will be completed in rapid sequence, with final completion in 2016.

“It’s hard to say what the generation factor might be,” said school superintendent Ron Thiele, in trying to anticipate when more students will come.

But the plan leaves more ground space for future expansion, so the district is ready, as Crawford put it, when they “see the whites of their eyes.”

This project was funded in the 2012 bond election. The total cost is roughly $75 million.

Additionally, the Issaquah City Council approved annexation of 5.45 acres at its Dec. 16 meeting, for the IMS project.

The small piece of property is an “island” that somehow has remained part of unincorporated King County. The council

Page 3

also approved the school levies scheduled for the Feb. 11, 2014 election. All are replacement levies for those that are due to expire in 2014.

The maintenance and operations levy represents 21 percent of the district’s operations Thiele said. The total M&O levy is $198 million over four years. The capital projects levy, also a four-year replacement levy, includes technology, said school board member Anne Moore.

Moore said technology is not funded at all by the state. This capital projects levy is $52 million over four years. Finally, a school bus levy for the year 2015 is set at $1.7 million.

“We’ve gained about 2,000 more kids since we ran our last levy,” Moore said.

All three levies, which will increase taxes by $40 per year for a $500,000 home, were approved by council to appear on the ballot.

“I can’t say enough about our school district,” said council member Tola Marts. “People don’t move here for the weather.”

Attorney General sues Mill Creek couple for illegal charity scam Couple sought donations in Issaquah The Washington state Attorney General’s office has filed a Consumer Protection Act complaint and will seek a temporary restraining order against Knowledge 4 Kids, otherwise known as Kures 4 Kids, and its operators, Michael and Amy Gannon.

The AG's office alleges the Mill Creek couple uses numerous deceptive practices to entice consumers to donate money. Despite giving the impression donations will help children, the Gannons apply only a small percentage of donations to a charitable purpose, the complaint said. The rest goes into the Gannons’ pockets and other expenses such as paying employees.

The couple reportedly sought donations outside the QFC store in Issaquah.

Charitable donations typically increase during the holidays. The Attorney General's office is asking for an immediate restraining order to prevent the Gannons from seeking donations during this peak giving time.

“This is the third time the Gannons have been involved in deceptive business practices,” said Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “We’ll keep pursuing them until they stop scamming consumers.”

According to the complaint, the Gannons founded and lead the charitable organization Knowledge 4 Kids, or Kures 4 Kids (K4K). They claim to raise money to support families of children with disabilities and to support other charitable organizations.

K4K asks for donations at tables set up inside or outside grocery stores and other retail establishments. Investigators observed K4K solicitors telling potential donors they were volunteers even though they are paid a rate of $10 per hour. After collecting money, the solicitors meet the Gannons to count the money. The solicitors are then paid in cash from the donations.

The AGO alleges the Gannons committed multiple violations of the Washington State Consumer Protection and Charitable

Bomb scare at Skyline only a threat “Evacuate the school or a bomb will go off Friday,” was scrawled on the boy’s bathroom wall at Skyline High School Dec. 19.

The incident was immediately investigated including a canine unit with officers performing a sweep of the entire school that night. No bomb or suspicious items were found.

A letter was sent out to all Skyline parents Dec. 20, that read “After hours of searching the building with a special canine team, local police discovered no bomb or any other suspicious items. The police are following leads and will continue to investigate the source of the threat. In any situation where there is even a possibility of danger for students or staff, we will always take every precaution necessary until the threat is dispelled.”

Solicitation Acts: n Creating the false impression that most or all money will be used to assist families of children with disabilities; n Misrepresenting paid solicitors are volunteers; and n Misrepresenting their relationship with various charitable organizations they claim to raise money for.

The complaint also claims that the Gannons: n Failed to register as a commercial fundraiser with the Secretary of State; n Failed to register K4K’s contracts with commercial fundraisers; n Failed to include required disclosures in brochures and on-line solicitations; and n Failed to maintain financial records.

The state is seeking civil penalties and other relief. Many donations were made in cash, making it difficult to return money to donors. To the extent recovered funds cannot be returned to donors, they will be used to benefit the public through efforts such as preventative outreach campaigns.

The Attorney General's office recommends consumers consider these tips before donating: n Don’t give in to pressure. Tell the solicitor you want to take time to make your decision. And remember, it is always OK not to donate. n Ask for written material about the charity to take home and research to see if their donations help other charities as they claim. n Ask the solicitor if he or she is registered with the Office of Secretary of State. n Don’t be fooled by a name. Some use similar sounding names that closely resemble respected, well-established charities.

Those who think they have been the victim of a consumer scam can file a complaint with the Attorney General's office by calling 1-800-551-4636 or visit http://www. atg.wa.gov/FileAComplaint.aspx. After filing a complaint, the Attorney General's office will contact the business to explain the complaint in order to help resolve the dispute. The complaint resolution process is free.

APOLOGY?

Labor leaders wrong to target governor over union vote

L

ocal labor leaders want Gov. Jay Inslee to apologize. He actually had the nerve to say that members of the local Machinists union should be allowed to vote on a contract that could determine their future employment at Boeing.

We’d like to think the Washington State Labor Council is kidding, but sadly it’s not.

Boeing had offered to extend its contract with the Machinists for eight years, essentially guaranteeing that significant work on the new 777X airliner would be done here. However, to do so, it wanted reductions in some benefits it pays workers. When the union turned that down, the company sought proposals from other states and communities that might want the thousands of high-paid jobs that go along with aircraft work.

Boeing now has modified its contract offer to local machinists, backing away from some of the take-backs, but not all of them. Union officials won’t let the workers vote on the new contract, saying Boeing withdrew the offer. The company says it hasn’t.

The governor stepped into this mess with a most reasonable idea: let the workers decide for themselves.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, agrees with the governor. The 777X would be built in that city.

We don’t pretend to know what’s best for the machinists regarding any Boeing proposal. What we do know is that the people directly affected by having a job – or not – should be the ones to decide the issue.

A legislative wish list

A

preview of coming attractions and distractions for lawmakers next year can be found in the pile of legislation awaiting them when they return to Olympia in January.

There have been 59 bills filed early – 38 in the House and 21 in the Senate – dealing with specialty license plates and protecting hospital employees from violent criminals as well as naming a state waterfall and ensuring natural Jerry Cornfield disasters don’t shut down government.

Here’s a sample of new laws House and Senate members are already pushing: One overpass, hold the art: There’s a move afoot to end the prettification of bridges, overpasses, sound walls and offramps. House Bill 2092 would bar state transportation agencies from spending public funds to “acquire works of art” or make “decorative finishes or designs that are not integral to the function of a transportation structure.”

Washington Pot & Trust: Who better to handle the cash for the pot industry

?

Question of the week:

“Do you make New Year’s resolutions?”

than the state, right? Senate Bill 5955 creates a publicly owned trust to “act as the sole depository for in-state marijuana producers, processers, and retailers and to use taxable earnings from those deposits for the benefit of the people and economy of the state.”

All in the cannabis family: You won’t get high off hemp but you might make money selling oils, clothes and other products made from this variety of cannabis sativa. Senate Bill 5954 sets the rules for a new industrial hemp industry.

Growers will need licenses and pay fees and those dollars would be deposited in the proposed publicly-owned trust.

Really special: The University of Washington has a specialty license plate.

So, too, do Washington State University and Gonzaga. Seattle University may be next. That’s the idea behind House Bill 2100 which would direct proceeds from any sales into a student scholarship fund.

A layer of protection: When a person suspected or convicted of a violent crime is brought to a hospital for care, sometimes they attack nurses or other employSEE CORNFIELD, 5

Try to imagine keeping the ho-ho-hos alive while putting decorations on a citrus tree, or putting lights on a palm tree, getting all sweaty in the 70s in Yuma, Ariz., at this time of year.

Eastside Friends of Seniors updates Sammamish City Council on issues

ees. Under Senate Bill 5968, these potentially violent individuals must be accompanied by a law enforcement officer or guard at all times during the visit.

Scenic standout: Washington’s got its share of official symbols. There’s a state bird, fruit, insect, folk song and even a ship. House Bill 2119 would name Palouse Falls in southeast Washington as the official state waterfall.

The sales pitch is that the falls drop 198-feet and are considered one of the most amazing waterfalls in the U.S. and the world.

Disclosure duties: A little training might help elected leaders of cities, counties and special districts avoid violations of the public records act that can result in big payouts to seekers of records. House Bill 2121 would require every elected official to complete a training course within 90 days of taking office.

In the event of an emergency: Washington’s constitution lays out how government will operate in an “emergency resulting from enemy attack.” It doesn’t mention other emergencies like a natural disaster.

Senate Bill 5971 and a proposed constitutional amendment would update the language to make sure an earthquake, tsunami or even invasion from Idaho or Canada are covered.

However, Petersky said there are many issues facing the Sammamish seniors.

Two of the biggest are transportation and social isolation.

"Because we have a very auto-centric built environment, it's very hard to drive," she said.

The solution? Petersky asked council to improve the city's connectivity by foot.

She said this would end up benefiting the entire community and improve people's health.

Petersky gave another suggestion of

possibly building a senior center.

"The number of those over the age of 85 is projected to grow by 71 percent in our country over the next two decades," she said.

Petersky said the senior population is a portion of the community that has been overlooked, and she urged council to look at various options that would improve Sammamish seniors overall well-being.

Eastlake seniors shine with culminating project Making an app, helping the environment, studying cancer, volunteering in Africa

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY KMONTGOMERTY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

In the state of Washington, all high school seniors must complete a culminating, or "senior," project in order to graduate. While each school district determines its specific guidelines, there are statewide goals, including encouraging students to think analytically, logically and creatively.

That can mean writing a research paper, working with a mentor or developing a multimedia presentation.

At Eastlake High School, some students are going far beyond those goals, tackling everything from creating an app for Android computer systems, removing invasive species of plants in the Sammamish area, interning at the Fred Hutchinson Research Center or volunteering in Africa.

Here are four who are solving some reallife problems.

Making an Android app Marijke Vanderschaaf always knew she wanted to have a career in engineering.

And with a software quality engineer as a neighbor, she got the help she needed to make an Android phone app as her senior project.

Joshua Teague, an engineer for Disney,

said that Vanderschaaf came to him and said she wanted to do something with computers, but she wanted it to be “cool” and “current.” Teague brought up the idea sending secure messages between two people, because there were multiple facets to the idea. Vanderschaaf was in. And so the project began.

“I gave her a list of things and told her to do some research,” Teague said.

The list included the Great Wall of China, the National Security Administration, privacy and free speech. Vanderschaaf was to figure out how they all impacted each other. This was the easy part. The hard part, was making the actual app.

“I told her, 'You're going to have a ton of problems, that's normal. So start early and ask me a lot of questions,’” Teague said.

Vanderschaaf soon learned what encryption is, why it's important and how it plays into politics. She only recorded 60 hours of work, but Vanderschaaf said she put in much more time than that.

“She didn't give up,” Teague said. “She went, she tried and she learned. I was really impressed.”

Vanderschaaf said the hardest part was SEE SENIOR PROJECT, 7

understanding every little piece of the project.

“I got the general gist of what I was doing,” she said. “But in-depth was another level.”

Teague said that he thinks he's scared Vanderschaaf away from software.

“The key to computers and code is that you can't have any ambiguity,” he said. “If you put a colon instead of a semi-colon, the whole world will break.”

The good news is that Vanderschaaf presented her project last week and she passed with flying colors, which is good, considering she already has a full-ride scholarship to play basketball at Boise State.

“I love basketball. It's my life, it's all I do, but I think I would really want to do something in engineering where I can work with people and on projects,” she said.

Teague said that the senior project gives students a better glimpse of what life is actually like.

“When you go to work, no matter where that is, your boss doesn't say, 'You have this homework due today and a test on Friday,'” he said. “You don't get those easy, clear road maps. You have to create them yourself.”

Removing Invasive Species Christian Berres, Natalie Berres and Kaitlin Daniels all wanted to do something environmental for their senior project. But what they didn't know is that through their efforts, the city of Sammamish will be positively impacted for years to come.

As environmental stewards, the Berres siblings, who are twins, and Daniels decided to removed invasive species from the city and then educate local youth about native plants.

“It's so important to have biodiversity in

They worked throughout the Eastside, removing invasive species such as Himalayan and Evergreen blackberry bushes, English ivy and weeds that can be potentially harmful to the environment.

“Most invasive species aren't native to this area,” Christian Berres said. “Because of that, when they get introduced, they take over and it makes it difficult for the other slow-growing native plants to survive.”

Daniels said that invasive plants' roots do not reach as far into the ground as native plants and therefore do not absorb as much water. Because of this, there is more water run-off which causes a disruption in the ecosystem.

“Before this project, I had no idea that invasive plants were such a big problem,” Christian Berres said.

They also created a children's book that included a scavenger hunt, a matching game,

pictures and prizes. They handed the books out during a concert at Ebright Park.

“We wanted to make our project a little bit more interesting, so we came up with the book idea,” Natalie Berres said.

They were mentored by their neighbor Dawn Sanders, the volunteer coordinator for Sammamish Parks and Recreation, and Pauline Cantor, a native plant steward. They said they couldn't have done it without them.

Daniels also said that they were recently invited to a dinner put on by the city, where they were able to meet a lot of people who are directly involved in the community and learn about various volunteer opportunities.

“I like knowing what we did is going to have a lasting impact,” Christian said.

And while Christian Berres, who plans on attending Western Washington University, is pretty positive he wants a career that involves the environment, the other two are unsure.

Natalie Berres is planning on going to Bellevue College for a year and then transferring to a four-year university. She's thinking about becoming a nurse. Daniels has been accepted to Western Washington University, but if she gets into the University of Washington, she plans on going there to study neurobiology SEE SENIOR PROJECT, 8

and become a doctor.

“A lot of people complain about the senior projects, and I actually did at first, also. But now that it's over, I'm really glad we were forced to do it,” Christian Berres said. “We gained a lot from it.”

Interning at the Hutch

Sean Choski's grandmother passed away from a bonemarrow disease a few years ago. She lived with him and his family, Choski said, so he was very close to her. Ever since then, Choski has been gravitating towards learning more about cancer. And when he thought about interning at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for his senior project, Choski knew it was a perfect fit.

“Every day I spent at FHCRC, talking to my mentor, interacting with scientists and fellow students, I learned so much,” Choski said. “I was in awe of the incredible work that FHCRC is doing and how their research helps save lives against this deadly disease. The opportunity to play a small part in the effort, no matter how trivial, was what kept me going.”

For eight weeks this past summer, Choski conducted an extensive molecular biology research project where the goal was to learn techniques in molecular cloning. He said the process is basically isolating a desired piece of DNA, such as a human gene, amplifying a few copies of the DNA molecule into millions, and then manipulating the DNA for future experimental work. All in the hopes of finding a cure for cancer.

“This technique of cloning is a fundamental investigative procedure in molecular biology and used to identify and develop medications and treatments for cancer,” Choski said. “I conducted extensive biomedical research and performed these experiments using an advanced technique called Gibson cloning, which was just developed a few years ago.”

For Choski, the hardest part was becoming adjusted to the research center's environment.

“I had to acclimate to the Hutch lab environment compared to the high school lab environment,” he said.

His mentors were Dr. Robert Bradley, Ahmad Zebrari and Janine Ilagan. Choksi said they taught him everything he learned during the process, from lab techniques and experimental designs to research insight.

“I was fortunate to get the opportunity to work with world-renowned scientists who pioneered this research,” Choksi said, explaining that over the past couple of decades, the center's work has led to unfathomable discoveries. Choksi said the Hutch has boosted the survival rate of bone-marrow and blood stem-cell transplantations from 0 to 85 percent, which, according to Choksi, is “unheard of.”

And with this experience, it would be a shame if Choksi didn't want to pursue medicine.

“I haven't decided on my major yet, but am considering

Choksi said he was extremely fortunate to have been able to participate in the internship and gained valuable insight he had been hoping for.

“I really enjoyed working with the mentors, gaining firsthand experience at the lab and interacting with students interested in a similar career. I would highly recommend this opportunity to any high school student who is interested in the natural science of biomedical engineering.”

Volunteering in Africa Grace Adler spent three of her summer weeks in Ghana, volunteering with an organization called Free the Children.

While there, Adler helped build a school, learned about the culture and participated in leadership activities.

"Free the Children not only helps the communities they work in, but they also help the students who go on the trips, like me, to learn about being a leader, inspiring us to continue volunteering once we arrive back home," Adler said.

In the summer of 2012, Adler traveled to Ecuador with Free the Children and said she had an amazing time.

"I love how it makes me feel when I am able to help other people," Adler said. "So it was an obvious choice to do community service for my project."

But Ghana was different from her Ecuador excursion, as Adler had to pay for a majority of the trip herself. She got a job at the beginning of her junior year and put every paycheck into a savings account.

"By the end of the school year, I was very proud of the amount I had saved and the discipline I showed when saving up for something I really wanted," she said.

With her savings, Adler took off for Africa.

For Adler, the hardest part of her three weeks was physically building the school. They mixed and carried the cement before stacking the bricks of the house, and all in the scorching heat.

"When I was building the school, I was hot and exhausted," Adler said. "But then I thought about how much the community appreciated what we were doing and how it would change their lives."

Her mentor was Spencer West, the facilitator of the trip

HOLIDAY SKATING at Sno-King Ice Arenas

"On the trip he showed me that no matter what challenges you face in life, you can always overcome them and make a change in the world," Adler said. "He inspires me every day to be a better person and do what I can to make a difference in the causes that I'm passionate about."

Adler presented her project last week and said it went great. She plans on continuing to volunteer with Free the Children and also wants to get involved locally. She has been accepted to five schools, including the University of Oregon and Western Washington University. She is still waiting for two schools to get back to her. She is unsure where she would like to go come fall, but knows that she wants to study communications.

For Muhammed Memon, a cricket match is much more than just runs and outs.

A native of Pakistan, where the sport is a national past time and universally treasured, Memon came to the Eastside in 2011 and immediately sought out others who shared his passion for the game.

While there were several teams in the area, it was a loosely confederated bunch without a strong infrastructure and even more troubling, no home field.

“Everybody was playing in different groups,” said Memon, who now lives in Lakemont. “Last year we decided to come together and form a new club. But the tough part was the lack of a field.”

When the season begins again in a few months, thanks to a partnership with the city of Bellevue, that will all change.

The North Robinswood Playfields adjacent to Big Picture School now include a cricket pitch, little more than an unspectacular parcel of field turf in the center of the larger baseball and soccer fields for the uninitiated. But within that small strip, Memon and dozens of others will be finally be able to transport the sport of their former homes in India to the Eastside.

Members of Puget Sound Cricket Club and the city of Bellevue, including Muhammed Memon (third from right) at the Eastside’s first cricket pitch at Bellevue’s North Robinswood Sports Fields. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter “It takes me back to my childhood, my school, college, everything,” Memon said of cricket. “I have a lot of love for this game.”

Memon and other members of a local team composed of Eastside players used a field in Shoreline for a home field last year, but will have a much more familiar locale in Robinswood, where some 60 percent live within walking distance.

Skyline head football coach Mat Taylor is a finalist for the same position at Central Washington University, Spartans’ athletic director Ryan Gilbert confirmed to the Reporter.

The news was first reported by the Yakima HeraldRepublic in a story detailing each of the Wildcats’ four candidates for the job.

“He means a lot to our athletic department and school as a whole,” Gilbert said. “He’s been great.”

Taylor has led the Spartans since taking over for Steve

manager for the city of Bellevue, said Memon was the one to open the dialogue on bringing a cricket pitch to the city, no surprise since Memon works for the city of Seattle and has experience in project planning.

“There are a lot more people playing, and it is good we can help facilitate that,” Kost said. “It’s very exciting.”

As scores of immigrants from India have

relocated to the Eastside to staff positions at Microsoft, T-Mobile and other tech industry corporations, they have brought various elements of culture along. Perhaps the most important of all is the baseball-like game that brings curious gatherings during matches but until recently, had no home on the Eastside.

“In India and Pakistan, everyone knows about the importance of cricket,” Memon said.

Games on the national and international level are akin to the Super Bowl in terms of fan support in the country. On the local level, weekend games provide an opportunity for families to come together and share in the camaraderie.

Memon said he hopes by providing a full-time home for the sport in Bellevue, cricket can become even more integrated into the fabric of the community, even among those unfamiliar with it.

“Whenever we have a game, people are always stopping and watching and asking questions,” he said.

Along with organizing around their new home at Robinswood, Memon and other members of the club worked with Lake Hills Elementary to donate a cricket set as part of a class project about English culture and hope to get kids even more interested in taking the pitch.

They also have plans to start offering a summer camp through the city of Bellevue’s youth programming, teaching kids the basics of the sport and bringing them together through competition and camaraderie.

“There is so much diversity,” Memon said of the population on the Eastside. “With sports, we can help people understand culture.”

Gervais and captured state titles as a head coach in his first year in 2008, as well as 2009, 2011 and 2012.

The other finalists for the job, according to the Herald, include former University of Washington assistant Chris Tormey, who worked under Don James, and current Eastern Washington associate head coach and defensive coordinator John Graham.

Taylor is also a teacher at Skyline and has been coaching at the school for more than a decade as an assistant and head coach.

“I would be very excited for him personally and for the profession of high school coaching,” Gilbert said. “There is a lot of respect for high school coaches and what it means.”
