TROUBLE IN TALUS

Tree removal in urban village raises concerns

BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It’s ironic that on Arbor Day, April 25, 12 maple and 10 alder, some of them very large, were cut down in the Talus urban village.

Northwest Landscape Services, working for the Talus Homeowners Association removed 22 trees on the Shangri-La trail in north Talus, before being ordered to stop by the City of Issaquah. The trail was there long before the urban development.

In a memo released Monday, April 28, the city said two types of tree removal were occurring in Talus — trees being removed for view preservation and trees being removed for maintenance. When the Homeowner’s Association proposes tree removal per its rules, the city is not involved. Councilmember Tola Marts said the city has limited jurisdiction in this case, yet the city responded quickly as it was flooded with emails and phone calls over the weekend from concerned Talus homeowner’s.

Lucy Sloman, land development manager for the city, said she was contacted at home Sunday, April 27.

“We’re trying to confirm how many trees were being cut, but some are multi-trunked,” she said.

“The devastation already incurred is a major eyesore.”

– Talus resident, Paul Boone This is what you see when you start walking up the Shangri-La trail. LINDA BALL, Issasquah &

Sammamish Reporter.

Sloman said since it was the weekend she couldn’t confirm how many trees were removed, but the city approved 18 or 19.

The tree removal was allowed because the trees were located in unprotected open space on the HOA’s property; the city’s tree protection rules don’t apply in urban villages that are still under construction (Talus will continue with construction until at least 2017); and the HOA consulted with the city before starting the work.

“After several revisions and meetings with residents, the HOA recently approved view-

protection revisions to their local rules. Based on those rules, the HOA then proceeded to remove the trees,” said Dave Kappler, president of the Issaquah Alps Trail Club.

However, Kappler said closer to 50 trees are marked for removal. He said the plan is to plant new, shorter trees, but the classic problem with Talus, he said, is improper irrigation, which doesn’t give the new trees a chance.

He said the open space the trees are on is not unprotected; the landscaping permit requires a plan to insure survival of new plantings and reassurance that invasive species don’t take over, including proof of water supply for irrigation.

SEE TALUS, 3

It looks like former Eastside Catholic vice principal Mark Zmuda, who was fired from the school after it discovered he had married his same-sex partner in the summer of 2013, has a new job.

Mercer Island High School superintendent Dr. Gary Plano was Mark Zmuda to have recommended Zmuda be confirmed as the new Mercer Island High School associate principal, at the Mercer Island School Board meeting, Thursday, May 1. If selected, he will begin on July 1.

Zmuda was selected from a field of more than 60 applicants following a lengthy interview process involving students, parents and staff. The hiring replaces the position held by Craig Olson who left the district in January.

If hired, Zmuda would assume the duties of athletic director in addition to his other assignments. He has experience as a high school coach in the areas of swimming, diving and soccer.

Issaquah probation officer takes it one day at a time

Melanie Vanek handles duties for Issaquah, North Bend, Snoqualmie

BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Melanie Vanek thought about police work while in college at the University of Washington. She took an internship with the city of Seattle in the probation office in

1999, and was hooked.

With a sociology degree and a minor in society and justice, her first paid position was home monitoring. Then, on June 1, 2012, Issaquah hired its first probation officer and she jumped at the opportunity to start a brand new department. But along with Issaquah came North Bend and Snoqualmie. The latter two came in the package since they contract with the Issaquah court.

Vanek doesn't have to make house calls anymore. Those who are under her super-

vision come to her. She has 102 active cases — people who see her regularly. Standard visits are once a month — over time she'll reassess cases to see if they can come less frequently.

It all depends on how they're doing she said. All of her "clients" come to her by court order. The first thing she does is a risk assessment. Vanek will ask the individual how many times they have moved in the past year, if they're employed, on drugs or alcohol, if they've been on probation before or if they have a record of assault. There are those she prefers to see more often because they're higher risk. However, she said she never really feels threatened.

"People get frustrated, but it's been a long time since I was threatened," she said.

She tends to have her appointments when court is in session because security is present.

"What's normal in my day to day is not normal for people in general," she said.

Vanek administers court ordered alcohol and drug testing. A urinalysis check will spot not only alcohol, but also a number of illicit drugs. She accompanies the females to the restroom, but not the males. Men on probation have tried the switcheroo on her with their urine, but she caught on quick.

At her fingertips is also a mouth swab kit, which instantly tells her if there is something in the person's system that shouldn't be there. Vanek also has a breathalyzer kit to use if someone appears to be under the

influence of alcohol when they come in to see her — especially important if the reason the person is on probation is because of DUIs. Vanek is dealing with people who have been charged and sentenced for a misdemeanor or a gross misdemeanor. The latter carries up to a year in jail, and includes offenses such as DUI, domestic violence or third degree theft.

Vanek is not authorized to make arrests, search a suspect or charge them with a crime, but once the court orders someone to see her, she can recommend conditions such as a mental health assessment.

Married and a new mom, she said her husband is a 911 dispatcher, so he understands what she does and doesn't worry about her.

Dedicated to her profession, she was the Probation Officer of the Year in 2008 when she worked for the city of Kirkland, an honor given by the Misdemeanant Corrections Association. She's been on the association's board since 2008 and currently serves as the technology chair.

"It's our way of staying connected with each other for continuing education and legislative issues," Vanek said.

For someone who sees it all, she is very happy.

"I love it here," she said. "I've found my home."

TALUS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Talus Homeowner’s Association president Barb Leland has served as president since September 2013. She said the HOA does plan to irrigate new plantings by having the landscapers come through and water. Leland said the project was prepermitted. She said they will replant with 63 trees, including vine maple, cherry trees and flowering dogwood.

Talus homeowner, George Wangersky, said at first some alders were taken out a few weeks ago, and he wasn’t too concerned. But when he heard chain saws fire up behind his house Friday morning, that was a different story.

“Talus sent a letter on April 8 that they were going to do this — I asked for a plan, and the next thing I know the chain saws started,” he said.

Every deciduous tree in the greenbelt behind his home and homes of his neighbors on Wilderness Drive is marked with a red “X” to come down. Wangersky said they were frantic, and “frankly emotional because they were cutting everything in sight.”

Wangersky said the board had not made an effort to involve them. His neighbor Robin Avni, said the HOA may have sent out notices but their communication wasn’t received. Wangersky said the HOA will plan a meeting at a particular location and change it at the last minute.

“Their meetings are always a moving target,” he said. “A lot of the problem is we don’t get the information.”

Avni said she was told one of the board members is one of the people who want a better view.

Leland said that’s not true.

“This has been going on for seven months,” she said. “We’ve had board updates and called individual homeowners.”

Everything behind Paul Boone’s home — a few doors down from Wangersky, is marked to come down.

“The devastation already incurred is a major eyesore,” Boone said.

Boone said 11 7-to-8-inch diameter alders had been removed two weeks prior, and the homeowners had been led to believe that was the completion of the process. Leland said alder removal is necessary because they tend to take over and are hazardous.

This is what the homeowner's don't want. This was an attempt to replant in another area of Talus where the native trees were removed. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter.

Boone was the one who sent a letter to the mayor and city council Saturday, April 26.

“On April 24 the landscapers marked 202 more trees to be cut. I do not understand why they want to destroy the cascara and vine maples; there can be no reason for that,” Boone said.

“As they were marking trees, my wife inquired whether all marked trees would be cut. She was told yes. She asked whether all trees would be marked. She was told no, but then they proceeded to mark all trees anyway (except the conifers).

We received notice of the plans by the HOA only after cutting had already begun earlier this month, and the plan stated that cutting was to be completed prior to the trees leafing.

The trees have leafed well now, and yet they started cutting in earnest yesterday. Only six households in all of Talus were notified of the plans at all, but there are many dozens more families affected by this.”

Avni and Wangersky said the homes in Talus haven’t been there long enough for any of the trees to have grown appreciably to change the view the homes above them had when they moved in.

“We are informed that this is for view-protection,” Boone said. “But whose view is being protected and whose is being sorely damaged? There must be compromises, and clear cutting is rarely viewed by anyone as a compromise. We are even in fear of erosion behind our stone walls, damage to existing native plants, and the probability that the maple stumps are to be treated with large amounts of herbicides uphill from our

gardens.”

Wangersky echoed Boone’s fear of erosion — or worse.

Leland said Talus is a view community and that people appreciate their views — and the natural environment and privacy that the trees provide.

“We’re trying to represent everyone’s interest,” Leland said.

“We have a full landscaping plan for Talus. We’re getting a lot of unfair criticism. We’re very committed to a beautiful Talus for everyone.”

She said they have no intention of touching any of the evergreens, just the multi-stem maples and alders.

The Talus neighborhood is based on the concept of smart growth. By clustering development in the urban village, the community enjoys more than 460 acres of surrounding open space.

An arborist who came out Monday morning identified one of the trees cut down was a conifer, which is strictly forbidden in Issaquah.

Boone said he’s learned a lot in the past 48-hours about contradictory rules in the HOA. “What I’ve looked at so far, the view protection laws are sort of carte-blanche to start taking out trees. Evidently the board is anti-green,” he said.

He said more neighbors have shown up describing green areas near their homes which have been decimated without their knowledge.

“There’s no method to the madness,” Boone said. “I have nothing against view preservation, but this seems to be view creation.”

Sloman said the city has been working collaboratively with Northwest Landscape to review and approve its maintenance activities with regard to tree removal.

“As reported to the city this weekend, the extent of proposed tree removal may not be consistent with the development agreement or with the proposal we reviewed,” she said in her memo.

The city will use the stop-work order to ensure that further actions are consistent with the development agreement and its previous reviews.

A town hall meeting took place Thursday night after The Reporter’s deadline. The HOA has indicated it will not remove any more trees until after the meeting.

HELPING HANDS Connect, support our neighbors in wake of explosion

S

ince becoming publisher of the Snoqualmie Valley Record in October 2008, one characteristic I have quickly and regularly noticed about the people of the Snoqualmie Valley is their generosity and their resiliency. Whether it was the 2009 flood, the Great Recession, ice and snow storms and days-long power outages, or even the Taylor Bridge Fire over the pass in Cle Elum and Ellensburg, the Valley has always come together to generously support their neighbors that are affected by unfortunate events.

After the terrible explosion that tore a hole through downtown North Bend in the wee hours of early Friday morning, April 25, we are truly grateful that no one William Shaw was killed or seriously hurt. However, several businesses were also badly damaged, but can hopefully be repaired soon.

In light of the situation, I urge my fellow Eastsiders, both individually and as a business community, to come together to help not only these individual Snoqualmie Valley businesses and their employees, but also the city of North Bend in its efforts to heal and spring back.

More and more, every community on the Eastside is interconnected in many ways. What affects one, truly affects us all. At my local publications in Snoqualmie, Issaquah, Sammamish, Bellevue and Mercer Island, we’ll use our print, web and social media outlets to keep our loyal Eastside readers informed about this event and many others that affect our neighborhoods, our communities and the region.

We’ll also be encouraging partnerships with our many friends at all the Eastside chambers of commerce and business groups, focusing on how they can use their resources and membership to lend a hand to help our neighbors in North Bend.

The Snoqualmie Valley is King County’s backyard playground. As many of us know already, the city of North Bend is a town that has lots to offer. I urge you to take the 20-minute drive east some weekend, and eat, drink, play, listen to music, shop, hike, have fun, relax, and enjoy North Bend’s unique gifts. Easy to reach and, with the amazing scenery and outdoor adventures just outside of town, hard to leave. You’ll not only have fun, but will also be helping your neighbors at the same time.

School days in for Legislature in Olympia

I

magine the domed state Capitol as a classroom, with 147 state lawmakers as students, and you may get a better picture of the challenge facing Washington’s Supreme Court this summer.

Justices in January gave the “students” a two-part assignment, which was due April 30.

They told them they needed to put more money into education, reminding them the state must be paying the full cost of basic education in public schools by 2018.

Another part of their homework required legislators to draw up a timeline showing what will be spent year-to-year, to ensure the state meets the court-imposed deadline in the Jerry Cornfield McCleary case.

Well, those “students” didn’t get either done.

On Wednesday, a bipartisan committee of lawmakers representing the Legislature turned in a required progress report, which described how they tried, and how political and philosophical divisions prevented them from completing their assignment.

They also explained that supplemental budgets, like the one adopted in 2014, are not the ideal vehicle for making a billion-dollar investment, as the court might have desired. A decision like that will be best made in 2015 when the next two-year budget is adopted.

And in the 58-page report, lawmakers expressed appreciation of the justices’ prodding to get them to live

up to their constitutional obligations for education. But they also not-so-subtly said “Don’t mess with us” in a section arguing why they didn’t think the justices could force them to do the homework as assigned.

How will the court deal with such recalcitrance?

It’s a bit of a crapshoot because, well, there’s never been a showdown quite like this between these two branches of Washington government.

The Supreme Court could deliver another scolding – there have been two so far – then wait to see if lawmakers next year come up with “the grand agreement” they deem necessary for doing as they’ve been told.

Or it could exact punishment, as has happened in other states. In March, the Kansas Supreme Court directed the Legislature to provide more funds for education by July 1, or else part of the state budget will be voided.

In Washington, justices in January warned of a potentially bumpy road ahead should lawmakers not turn in a completed assignment.

Those families and school districts whose lawsuits led to the McCleary decision hope the court’s patience is running out.

If it is, “students” could face a lot more than detention.

Loss of federal waiver not likely to impact ISD too much

BY LINDA BALL

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

With Washington state losing its "No Child Left Behind" waiver, most schools in the state will be considered failing by federal standards. That includes Issaquah.

"It's very confusing right now, because OSPI (the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction) is still negotiating with the feds," said Issaquah School District Superintendent Ron Thiele. “There are so many unanswered questions. Do schools go back to where they were four years ago? I

don't know."

He said he heard that 289 out of 295 districts in the state will be considered failing.

The federal No Child Left Behind act requires all children to pass state math and Ron Thiele reading tests this year.

The state lost its waiver because it didn't mandate the use of student scores on statewide tests be used as part of teacher evaluations.

LWSD officials looking at new options to address overcrowding Faced with another failure to pass a school construction bond, the Lake Washington School District will look at other options to handle school crowding. The district includes schools in Sammamish.

“Without this funding, we will have to begin reviewing other options immediately for housing our rapidly growing student enrollment,” said school Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “The good news is that so many families want to move to our area to attend our excellent schools. I am very proud of the work of our district and schools.”

The district needed a 60 percent "yes" vote on its $404 million April 22 measure to pass. It received about 52 percent "yes"

vote. An earlier measure, to raise $755 million, also failed and districts only can only go to the voters twice in the same year.

LWSD communications director Kathryn Reith said the district has already made temporary boundary changes this school year to bus students from Norman Rockwell and Albert Einstein elementary schools in north Redmond to Horace Mann Elementary School, also in Redmond, which now has four new portables to accommodate the influx of students.

In addition, Reith said, the district will need to be creative in figuring out where to put students now in elementary school in Kirkland, as there will not be a new one built.

"Even the administration knew this was an unworkable law," Thiele added. "It stems from Congress not re-authorizing the ESEA (Elementary Secondary Education Act), which became law in 1964."

NCLB set a stair-step that all students had to be at 100 percent of the core standard by 2014, and if any group is not meeting that measure of student progress, they’re failing. Thiele said how the loss of waiver will be implemented is the question.

Districts will lose control over how they spend their share of $40 million in federal money, which is to be used to improve stu-

dent's math and reading scores. He added that the biggest impact to Issaquah will be the transportation set-aside, which is 20 percent of Title I funds it receives, or about $100,000.

"This is not a huge impact to the ISD because we don't get that much Title I money, because we're such a low poverty district," Thiele said. "How many in our community believe we're a failing district? Go talk to Realtors. People pay a premium to be in the ISD." Linda Ball: 425-391-0363; lball@issaquahreporter.com

A quick meal can be satisfying H

ave you ever noticed that the perception of healthy eating can either be that it’s dull, lacking flavor or that it’s complicated? At Whole Foods Market we believe that making healthier choices is none of the above. Our philosophy of healthy eating is rooted in simple ways to build better meals that focus on less processed foods that add flavor, naturally.

Check out this recipe for a quick, satisfying and incredibly tasty meal. The best part about it is you can toss in any seasonal vegetables you have on hand to mix it up a bit. Or if you want to make it gluten-free, substitute brown rice noodles and use Jami Scott wheat free tamari.

Sesame-Peanut Noodles

1 (8-oz) 100% whole grain soba noodles 2 cups snow peas, strings removed 2 tablespoons roasted, unsalted, unsweetened smooth peanut butter or almond butter 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon reduced sodium tamari 1 tablespoon sesame tahini 1/8 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes 1 ½ cup shredded carrots 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 cup sliced green onions 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

snow peas with 1 minute cooking time remaining. Drain noodles and snow peas thoroughly.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, vinegar, tamari, tahini and crushed red chile. Add a splash of warm water if needed to thin the sauce so it will coat the vegetables and noodles. Add noodles, snow peas, carrots, bell pepper, green onions and sesame seeds. Toss to coat noodles and vegetables thoroughly with sauce. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

This dish pairs great with Kung Fu Girl Riesling from Charles Smith wines. Fresh and only a hint of sweet, full of orchard fruits. This is a standard barer for Columbia Valley Riesling.

‘Au-Some Artists!’ celebrates Autism Awareness Month

book, and a puppeteer who will perform puppet theater and help students bring their own puppet creations to life.

"There needs to be more opportunities for those with and without disabilities to share in the uniqueness of each other," Smith said. "I would love to see events in the future that welcome all abilities. We all as a community need to recognize what everyone brings to the table."

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

On April 26 the Sammamish Arts Commission presented their “Au-Some Artists!” event at the EX3 Teen Center. It was attended by more than 30 special needs students, 38 volunteers and 30 parents and featured music, jewelry making, painting and more.

“Last year, we capped the event at 20 special students, but with great volunteer help we were able to expand,” said Lin Garretson, Sammamish arts commissioner. “Our volunteers are mostly teens and ‘tweens who volunteer to pair up with a special student as an art mentor for the day.”

Tracy Smith, mother of 12-year-old Marley, said she loves the fact that the events are always packed with young teen volunteers.

“Not only do the volunteers get to gain experience that could benefit them in the future, but also they are getting to help others work on their social and communication skills. Everyone gains at these events, from the children to the volunteers to the parents. It should serve as a model for other communities.”

Since April was Autism Awareness Month, "Au-Some Artists!" had a special focus on students with autism, however the inclusive event was open to students with any type of special needs.

Smith said that they have been fortunate enough to attend three special events put on by the Sammamish Arts Commission.

"The first event my son attended was the 'Creative Characters' event back in October last year," Smith said.

"Having never gone before, I was a little nervous about whether my son, who has autism, would like the event.

But that nervousness quickly went out the window upon entering the EX3 Teen Center where the event was held.

Without hesitation, my son was gone with his teen volunteer to go explore."

And Smith said there was an unexpected bonus for her at the event as well. While she had planned on simply taking photos of her son, she enjoyed refreshments and cookies while mingling with other parents.

"It was the best experience ever," she said. "I had just recently moved to Washington last year, so I was just learning about the area, things to do, and places where my son could get services and meet new people. I spent the next two hours talking with a great group of parents, who gave me an abundance of information. I literally smiled all the way home."

Smith ran into several parents in the community who had not heard about the events, which got her thinking about ways to spread the word. She wanted to give back to the community in some way, Smith said, so she created an event blog for children with special needs and

their parents, so that in the future, no one would miss the chance to attend an event such as "Au-Some Artists!"

"It was so nice to see all the children so engaged and having a good time," Smith said. "Events like these are so important to our children with special needs, and not only because this event is free and many parents have to struggle financially to have their children participate, but events like these also bring out the best in our children."

Smith said that the awesome part about the Sammamish Arts Commission's events is there is no “cookiecutter” mold children have to fit into in order to attend.

She said they can go and be themselves, with all their uniqueness and quirks.

"It is obvious by the looks on the children's faces that they so enjoy getting to explore new things without someone saying you're doing it wrong or you're not staying in the lines or you need to play softer," Smith said.

"They are free to express themselves the way they want to."

The arts commission's next event is "Creative Characters!" which will take place in October. The event will include a professional cartoonist to help students experience cartoon drawing, a published children's author and illustrator to help students write and illustrate a short

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: What’s Emma doing with him?

BY BRIAN MILLER

SHOWTIMES

SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Every few years in China, a huge new wave of young filmgoers discovers American pop culture for the first time. They send us iPhones, steel, and washing machines; we send them disposable superheroes in return. Tobey Maguire’s Spidey is long forgotten, just as are the Batman actors before Christian Bale. The Hollywood product cycle grows ever shorter, and we’re already two-thirds of the way through the MOVIE Andrew Garfield era.

Will anyone miss him when he’s gone?

The furrowed brow and sulking, not so much. If Maguire was all open-faced wonder about his accidental arachnid skill set, Garfield’s more of a brooder – Peter Parker hiding in his room despite the entreaties of Aunt May (Sally Field). He’s given a welcome few goofy grace notes with girlfriend Gwen (Emma Stone), but most of the time we’re watching his masked CG avatar swing seamlessly through Manhattan canyons, not the actual thespian. The dazzling computer effects have advanced so far from the Sam Raimi/Maguire pictures that most viewers won’t even notice the absence.

Everything slowly builds after a zingy first hour to a two-part finale that’s more coded than directed. Where are the actors? No one cares.

Neither do Garfield, Stone, their castmates, or director Marc Webb. Returning from Part I, his reputation based on the

gossamer rom-com (500) Days of Summer, Webb keeps the tone light, caps the sulking, and limits the inside jokes. The plot and dialogue are elementary – subtitles not required anywhere on the planet. There’s no sex and hardly any blood to Gwen and Peter’s adventures; these two collegians have a wholesome, early-’60s optimism that matches the Marvel origins of this teenage superhero. Both love science with an earnest, Space Age fervor. When Gwen speaks of a prospective Oxford scholarship,

she’s more excited than a girl showing off her new nail polish.

Amid this big satisfying bucket of popcorn, one appreciates the burnt kernels and flowerings of various careers. Unquestionably on their way up are Stone and Dane DeHaan (as Peter’s pal/nemesis). On his way down is Jamie Foxx, barely recogniz-

able as a blue-glowing electrical supervillain. Providing hidden value in small roles are Campbell Scott and Embeth Davidtz (as Peter’s parents in an extended action prologue), Chris Cooper (spot the cameo . . . ), Colm Feore (oily corporate Iago), Denis Leary (ghost) and Paul Giamatti (sure, what the hell, I’ll shave my head to play a Russian goon).

Garfield’s stock is more of a hold than a buy; after 2016’s series-ender, he’ll have to tack hard in a non-Spandex direction.

Given the money invested in Spidey’s aerial ballets with the camera (totally untethered, as in Gravity), it’s nice to see the budget padded with so many pros.

And a final word about value: While this enjoyable sequel is no Gravity, it’s worth the 3-D IMAX ticket price. The movie was designed for such scale, for maximum spectacle, for export. Peter jokes with Gwen about following her to London, but why stop there? Kill the nagging Aunt May already and give that parochial kid a passport. The Eiffel Tower, pyramids, and Great Wall await.

Lewis, Dalzell chasing titles, history on track

Lewis shaving seconds

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUREPORTER.COM

Dorie Dalzell has always been a talented runner, and fierce competitor.

But before getting on the track for her final prep season at Skyline, the University of Kansas bound standout for the Spartans had to get in the weight room.

“She’s been a good athlete,” head coach Dawn Geiser said. “But she has taken it to that next level this year.”

Dalzell said a new focus on Olympic weightlifting and core strength has allowed her to push herself to new lengths in competitions. A dedicated post-workout stretching regimen, along with nightly core exercises, has her set to help the Spartans better their third place finish in the 1600 meter relay from the past two state meets.

“I’ve definitely seen the results,” she said, adding she is no longer one of the smaller competitors in the 400 meters. “I’m more explosive and in the final 100 meters, I have the fitness to keep going.”

Geiser, who has led the program since Skyline opened its doors, called Dalzell, “a warrior,” on the track, and said the most impressive aspect of her improvement

Eastlake senior Troy Lewis (center), pictured above during the Bellevue Invite April 26, is a contender for 4A KingCo and state titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meter relay.

RICK EDELMAN, Rick Edelman Photography.

was the dedication to offseason workouts.

While she sees plenty of athletes who talk about the desire to succeed, Geiser said few have backed it up like her senior leader.

“It has come from a lot of hard work, and Dorie understands that,” Geiser said. “She’s a competitor and she just goes out there to win, nothing less is okay for her.”

That mentality now permeates the entire squad for the Spartans’ girls, who recently finished in a tie for first as a team at the ultra-competitive Larry Eason Invitational in Snohomish.

“It’s exciting, and it has come from the girls having that competition in practice

every day to push them,” Geiser said of her team’s depth and success so far this season.

“They make each other better every day, they don’t have to wait for a meet.”

The most important meet of the year for the Spartans will come at Mount Tahoma High School and the 4A state meet, where Dalzell said the goal is not just to win a relay state title or bring home the school’s second girls team crown.

“We’ve come in third in the 1,600 the past three years, and we’re tired of it,” she said. “I think we have a good chance to get the state record, and it would mean so much to this entire team.”

Even during football season, as he helped his team to the 4A state quarterfinals at linebacker and running back, Eastlake senior Troy Lewis had an eye on the track.

After making it to the 4A state meet in his first varsity season for the Wolves last year, and doing so after recovering from a broken toe, Lewis knew the possibilities for 2014 were even greater.

“I wasn’t 100 percent, but I was able to catch up and get better,” he said of his junior campaign. “I was surprised I made it to state.”

Troy, who along with twin brother and fellow gridiron standout Drew comprises half of the 400 meter relay team, has kept turning heads this season. He owns the fourth fastest time in the 100 meter dash at 10.87 seconds, and is just two-tenths behind the state’s fastest time in the event.

Troy said even during his team’s postseason run on the football field, he was hoping to improve upon his junior season on the track as well.

“I didn’t ever see myself being able to run sub-11 in the 100,” he said. “Even during football season, I was always just trying to find something to do.”

Lewis’ best chance at a state championship could be in the 400 meter relay, where he and Drew, along with Matt Morrison, Alex Hawkinson and Josh Dawson have the best time in Class 4A this season at 42.40.

“I like the relay, because it changes everything,” Troy said. “In the sprints, the fastest person wins. But there are a lot of other factors for a winning relay team.”

Playoff spots still up for grabs on both diamonds

Eagles beat Bellevue, top LAX standings

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Issaquah took care of Skyline Monday on the softball diamond, beating their district rivals 5-0 and bringing the two into a virtual tie in the standings.

Winter Ridgeway beat her former team, working a complete game in the circle for the Eagles with nine strikeouts.

Morgan Bevel knocked in two runs for Issaquah.

Caroline Bowman pitched a complete game for the Spartans, allowing only one earned run.

More than two weeks remain in the KingCo softball season, with Eastlake, Issaquah and Skyline all still alive for conference tournament spots and even division titles.

The Wolves are chasing only rival Redmond in the standings, and face the Mustangs May 6 after losing a one run game April 16.

The Eagles and Spartans trail Newport by two games in the loss column, and each will get one more shot at the Knights in the regular season.

Baseball teams after KingCo playoff spots Skyline took care of Roosevelt 3-1 Monday, and has itself situated to win a third straight division title with two more victories.

The Spartans faced Issaquah Wednesday, before closing the regular season Friday against Newport.

Skyline has relied on the duo of senior Drew Lunde and junior Sam Lawrence on the mound.

Lunde leads the team wtih a 1.37 earned run average, and 36 strikeouts on the year. Lawrence has been just as impressive, with a 1.52 ERA in 32 innings and a third, with 27 strikeouts.

Issaquah lost out on its chance to control its own destiny in the Crown Division race, falling 6-2 to Garfield.

Edelman Photography.

The Eagles can still win the division, but will need help from Skyline and can little afford to drop any of its final three games.

Eastlake knocked off Bothell 3-2, behind another complete game performance on the mound from starting pitcher Mick Vorhof.

The senior ace for the Wolves now sports a 1.43 ERA, with 42 strikeouts in 44 innings on the season.

Remaining games against Woodinville, Inglemoor and first place Redmond give Eastlake the chance to make up some ground in the Crest during the final week of the regular season.

Crusaders in need of strong Metro finish Eastside Catholic snapped a two game losing streak with a 6-2 win over West Seattle Monday, and faced O’Dea Wednesday hoping to make up ground in the division race.

The Crusaders face the first place and 12-1 Irish again Friday, looking to climb out of last place in the Mountain Division with only three games to play.

Eastside Catholic trails third place Seattle Prep by only two games.

Before its game against Bellevue last week, Issaquah coach Brandon Fortier called out his defense.

Against the nationallyranked Wolverines, his squad responded.

The Eagles are one of only two remaining unbeaten teams in the KingCo lacrosse conference, after beating Bellevue 6-5 April 25.

Six different players scored a goal for Issaquah, with Zach Fritz, Ryan Egland and Matt Thomas also tacking on an assist in the win.

Fortier said focusing the defensive pressure on Division I bound Eric Haehl and Hank Bethke was the key to a victory.

“We recognized all their goal scoring was coming from five or six yards out,” he said. “We really focused on helping down from the top.”

The loss was the first against a Washington foe in more than two calendar years for the Wolverines, as the Eagles kept pace with

fellow unbeaten Mercer Island for the top spot to the state tournament.

The Islanders travel to Issaquah tonight for an 8 p.m. game that will go a long way to deciding the regular season conference champ, which also comes with a first round playoff bye.

“We talked about not having a letdown immediately after,” he said, adding his team came back the following day by blowing out Liberty 17-0. “Now, as exciting as that was, it kind of makes this game even bigger against Mercer Island.”

Skyline is 5-2-0 in conference play, and found itself in fourth place at the Reporter’s deadline.

The Spartans faced Mount Si Wednesday, and host Newport at 8 p.m.

Friday looking to keep pace in the conference race.

Eastlake is just behind its Plateau neighbor in the standings.

The Wolves faced Roosevelt Tuesday, and hosted Lake Washington Thursday.

Group forms to fight teen suicides

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

In 2012, Sammamish Hills Lutheran Pastor John LaMunyon presided over four funerals for local youth who had committed suicide. In response, he combined forces with several other local pastors, educators and mentors and launched Project Hope, a small group that seeks to bridge the gap between leaders of churches, schools, law enforcement, and city government in the hopes of preventing teen suicides, and responding as a team in the aftermath of those tragedies.

"In the long run, if there is a long run, we will expand our work to include parents and other service providers, but for this school year it's just this small group of folks working to establish better communications between those who work with youth in our community," LaMunyon said.

On April 29, as part of Project Hope, LaMunyon facilitated a conversation focusing on "Hurt 2.0," a book by Dr. Chap Clark that outlines what is in the hearts and minds of teenagers, and how the challenges they face in today's climate can be navigated.

"While John is a lead pastor at Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church, he is speaking from the view point of a father, stepfather and someone who has worked with youth for more than 30 years," said Diane Meehl, communications manager for the church.

Meehl said that a common theme shared by participants was the pressure they and their kids feel in

the Sammamish community to achieve excellence in every sphere of their lives.

During the discussion, LaMunyon explained that one of the primary calls of Chap's book is for parents to be adults and parents, not buddies or best friends.

"All too often, in the desire to be liked by our children, or simply having been worn down by their own pervasive pressures, parents end up abandoning their proper parental role of providing clear boundaries, engaging in regular conversation over what their kids are up to in life, challenging inappropriate behaviors, etcetera," he said. "Without guides to help navigate the waters of life, children can end up in great trouble in school and at home."

While LaMunyon stated that Project Hope is a slow-

moving organization, it’s bringing together different people who work with youth and families in order to improve the soil in which families and children in the community grow. Project Hope members include former Skyline principal Lisa Hechthman, Pine Lake Covenant Lead Pastor Mark Meredith and Youth Pastor Nick Pringle, Mary Queen of Peace Business Adminstrator Rich Shively and Youth Worker Anna Ricci, Sammamish Presbyterian Senior Pastor Jeff Lincicome and Youth Workers Josh Schach and Amber

Slate, and Sammamish Hills Director of Youth and Family Ministries Kaitlin Barbosa.

"The long term benefit will, we hope, be healthier kids and families," LaMunyon said. "You can't have healthy families without healthy kids."

Another "Hurt 2.0" forum will take place on May 6 at Skyline High School, Room 2212 from 7-8:30 p.m. It will also be hosted by LaMunyon and anyone is welcome to join.

The reading of Hurt 2.0 is encouraged, but not necessary. The study of Hurt 2.0 will be followed up by a discussion of Dr. Madeline LeVine’s books "Teach Your Children Well: Parenting for Authentic Success" and "The Price of Privilege" on May 20 and 27 in the main library of Eastlake High School.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
