County promises new trail design plans

those found in other U.S. cities.

The one notable black mark on opinions of the community were directed toward traffic flow.

“I’m not surprised by any of this info,” city councillor Joshua Schaer said.

Schaer said he was particularly unsurprised by dissatisfaction with local traffic and hoped the low score would warrant immediate response from the city.

He likened the situation to the regular citizen polls in the popular computer game “SimCity.”

“Boy, when that percentage number got low that was the time to start fixing that area of your city,” he said.

In an unconventional move, county staff will produce a 95 percent design plan for the southern segment of the East Lake Sammamish Trail as a good-faith effort to show Sammamish residents their comments will influence the county’s plans.

“We know there’s a long road in front of us,” County Parks Director Kevin Brown said during the Sammamish City Council meeting Tuesday.

It was standing room only at the meeting, as at least 90 people packed into city hall eager to hear Brown’s updated tail presentation. More than 20 attendees, several from neighboring city’s, spoke about the trail during public comment.

Community uproar ensued after the county released the 90 percent design plans for the southern portion of the trail in February. These design plans were released without considering city comments, which addressed issues concerning tree removal and the width of the trail.

“There was a mistake by the county’s design team,” Sammamish Public Works Director Laura Philpot at the Tuesday council meeting.

Philpot and Brown had met Feb. 20 and negotiated, point-by-point, segment A, which stretches from 43rd Way Southeast to Southeast 33rd Street.

They came to a resolution on the majority of the concerns, like filling in a ditch to widen the trail instead of chopping down trees.

Survey: Good news for city —Issaquah residents happy

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah citizens are happy, but they may also be more isolated than the average American.

A National Citizen Survey conducted by the National Research Center in December in cooperation with nearly 300 Issaquah households found that those surveyed were highly satisfied with their quality of life.

Ninety-one percent of respondents rated their quality of life as “good” or “excellent,” with the remaining 9 percent rating their experience as “fair.” Opinions of nearly all factors — including safety, mobility, the economy and education, among oth-

ers — were similar to national benchmarks, with respondents’ opinions of their natural environment exceeding national averages.

In their line of questioning, surveyors broke down each category into specific questions, taking note of the percentage of satisfied respondents and how those satisfaction rates compare to other U.S. cities where the survey’s been conducted.

“This is a very in-tune statistic for communities,” Deputy City Administrator Emily Moon said.

So while only a third of respondents were satisfied with factors like Issaquah’s cost of living or quality of life, those satisfaction rates were similar to

The Front Street interchange for Interstate 90 would be studied for potential alterations that would help traffic flow more readily.

Transportation passes senate $15 billion package includes three projects on Issaquah’s portion of Interstate 90

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah city councillors began the year raising their battle flag on one subject: transportation. At legislative breakfasts, Chamber lunches and other events preceding the beginning of state legislative

session, city officials repeated the need for improvements to the 5th District’s stretch of Interstate Highway 90.

It looks like dreams do come true -- or they might, anyway.

The Washington State Senate on Monday passed a $15 billion transportation package 27-22 for improvements and programs for highways, public transit and local roads, including three improvement projects, totaling $126 million, for Issaquah’s portion of I-90. The bill must SEE TRANSPORTATION, 3

pass the state House of Representatives to go into effect.

“I applaud the state senate for taking an important step,” Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler said in an interview Tuesday.

The package instates an additional 11.7 cent per gallon gas tax for rollout over three years, which would bring the state’s total gas tax to 49.2 cents per gallon. The bill was able to pass the senate despite a new rule requiring a two-thirds majority vote on new taxes, after Lieutenant Governor and Senate President Brad Owen said publicly Monday he would not enforce the rule due to his opinion that it was not constitutional.

Of most direct impact to Issaquah will be an approved interchange justification report for I-90’s access to Front Street, the primary downtown arterial known for becoming heavily congested during daily rush hour. The report will determine whether alteration is needed to the highway’s on- and off-ramps to Front Street.

If ramp alterations are deemed necessary the interchange could qualify for federal funding, Butler said. The transportation package allocates $2.3 million for the project.

The other projects include westbound shoulder hardening from Issaquah to Bellevue, allocated $71.8 million, and eastbound improvements from Eastgate to West Lake Sammamish Parkway, allocated $51.9 million. The latter project would add an “active traffic and demand management” system -- the electronic

variable speed limit signs seen on I-90 between Eastgate and Seattle -- and restripe the road shoulder as an additional lane during peak traffic hours.

All three are projects the Washington State Department of Transportation identified in a study of the I-90 corridor that was published and presented to the Issaquah City Council in May 2009. That report determined auxiliary lanes easing congestion on the highway would create a trickle-down effect for congestion on Front Street. That study also suggested reconfiguring the Front Street interchange via one of two designs that would add additional signal-controlled on- and offramps.

“It’s been an ongoing effort for a number of years quite frankly,” Butler said.

“We were really very disappointed at the last legislative session, years ago, that there was not a transportation package passed.”

The transportation package also includes expansion of I-405 from Renton to Bellevue and funding to complete the State Route 520 bridge.

Forty-first District Republican Sen. Steve Litzow was a co-sponsor of the transportation package.

“Washington needs a 21st Century transportation system that connects our communities,” Litzow said in a press release sent Monday afternoon. “The Puget Sound region is growing rapidly and preparing infrastructure for future growth will not only ease congestion but spur economic development.”

Barricade up for discussion Sammamish council to discuss 42nd St. roadblock March 17

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Sammamish City Council will revisit the 42nd Street Opticom barricade issues at the March 17 meeting at 6:30 p.m. in city hall.

They will further discuss how city staff will conduct a safety survey and establish a timeline for when staff should present this information to the council.

Many Sammamish residents were left to wonder after the Feb. 17 city council meeting what exactly will come of the 42nd Street barricade.

City clerk Melonie Anderson said she received about 15 calls and emails from city residents — and council members — who were unclear on the council’s action two weeks ago.

The Sammamish City Council passed a resolution at the Feb. 17 meeting to keep the barricade off the 2015-16 budget, but also instructed city staff to produce a safety study, a project timeline and any mitigation costs associated with addressing the barricade.

These actions conflict, as it would require city time and money to investigate the issue.

Council did not establish a timeframe for when city staff should complete the

study, which was a concern for citizens.

City Manager Ben Yazici addressed the conflicting direction at Tuesday’s meeting.

“Hold back on the study,” City Manager Ben Yazici recommended to the council during the March 3 meeting. “We have no resources on the staff side.”

The council, on Tuesday, was not unanimous in its decision to postpone the study until the next biennium, as the city manager recommended, which is why the discussion was tabled until the March 17 meeting.

The council opted not to discuss the issue at next week’s meeting because two councilmembers will be absent.

If council members vote to direct funds to the safety study during the 2015-16 budget year, they will have to shift priority on city projects.

‘Light a candle’ for education in Iran

On Saturday, February 28, I attended the showing of the film “To Light a Candle” that was presented in the KCLS Service Center. It is a documentary directed by Maziar Bahari, who is the subject of the 2014 feature film “Rosewater.” It describes the commitment of Iranian students and professors to education that takes place in the clandestine, but highly-regarded, Baha’i Institute of Higher Education, despite decades of imprisonment and torture of participants and destruction of their infrastructure and property.

To hear of and see the unwavering dedication to learning for the sake of learning was truly inspirational. We so need to hear stories like these to remind us of human courage in the face of adversity.

wage to $12. Washington already has the highest minimum wage in the nation at $9.47, and additional increases could further limit opportunities for younger workers.

Despite claims to the contrary, most minimum wage workers work fewer than 40 hours (78 percent in 2013) and the majority are younger than 25 (56 percent). Washington already has one of the highest teen unemployment rates at 22 percent. Increasing the cost of hiring these workers will lead to fewer of them being hired. The trade-off for this group is less likely to be between a job paying the old minimum wage or the new one, but between working and no job at all.

These first jobs are essential to building skills and act as the first rung on the ladder to prosperity. One study found that part-time work during the senior year of high school resulted in annual earnings that were 20 percent higher 6-9 years after graduation.

Increasing the minimum wage for these teens will limit their options and depress their earnings potential for years to come. The Senate should vote down the bill to further increase the minimum wage.

Making meaningful connections in the community Passionate Eastlake freshman honored for community involvement, leadership roles

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It’s not often a 15-year-old genuinely takes an interest in helping his community.

For Eastlake High School freshman Tyler Zangaglia, it

comes naturally.

Zangaglia was awarded Youth of the Year at the Redmond/Sammamish Boys & Girls Club and represented his club during the King County Youth of the Year event Feb. 12.

He was named county runner-up for his community efforts and leadership roles at school and within the Redmond/Sammamish club.

He is the president of his freshman class, sits on the Lake Washington School District’s anti-bullying committee and is a Boys & Girls Keystone leadership member.

He is involved in the Sammamish Nourishing Network and its efforts to create a healthier community. In middle

school he and his teacher created the Random Acts of Kindness Club.

Along with two Eastlake seniors, he ran the 2014 Harvest Festival and helped 1,000 low-income families last fall.

Zangaglia says the time commitment to be involved in whatever way he can is worth it.

The 2014 Harvest Festival, for TYLER example, was about much more than ZANGAGLIA providing low-income families with food, books, toys and new or used clothing.

“A different aspect of this is making sure they know they’re cared for,” he said.

Zangaglia promotes a way of life an advocate for kindness.

Kindness, he explains in an essay submitted to the King County Youth of the Year panel, is more than being considerate.

It is a way to show respect, he wrote. He maintains that kindness can change someone’s life.

Working the festival, Zangaglia was taken aback at the impact poverty can have in a person’s life, especially looking at children.

Volunteering his time to co-organizer the Harvest Festival opened Zangaglia’s eyes.

He wants to end youth poverty in America and says the first step to achieving his goal is building relationships.

“It seems so simple, making a connection,” he said.

Zangaglia’s mother, Deslie, said he’s always been compas and aware of others. sionate “It’s really part of his nature,” she said.

She said joining the Boys & Girls Club four years ago really encouraged Tyler to blossom.

“We’ve always been surprised of how much he’s been able to accomplish at 15,” she said. “I have seen a tremendous amount of maturity in him. … The Teen Center helped in so many ways.”

Tyler Zangaglia “grew up” with the Redmond/Sam-

Emergency training March 18 Issaquah Citizen Corps class to educate on preparedness

to ground liquefaction, Ortiz said.

Manmade disasters, too, could threaten the highway-straddling city in the form of truck accidents involving chemical or other hazardous freight. Ortiz pointed to the October 2014 jackknifing of a semitruck on Interstate highway 5 near Northgate, Seattle, in which the truck spilled 40 gallons of diesel fuel.

The Issaquah Citizen Corps was formed in 2007 and has since trained more than 500 Issaquah citizens in disaster readiness.

Ortiz said it was important to be prepared for disasters before they happen.

“People just need to take that first step by talking to their families or building up supplies,” she said.

But the main challenge is keeping students involved in disaster readiness well after class is out.

“We find if people don’t take action within the first 24 to 48 hours, they’re less likely to take actions later,” Ortiz said. “If you don’t buy your first aid kit today, it’s that much easier to put it off to next week, next month and so on. So we try to encourage action every class to motivate them further and keep the momentum going.”

Auto thieves can use other vehicles’ plates to conceal a misbegotten car.

Plate thefts on the rise

BY DANIEL NASH

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

In the month of February, Issaquah police took multiple reports of missing license plates and one report from a citizen who believed they witnessed a failed theft in progress.

The Reporter reached out to the detectives’ division of the Issaquah Police Department to find out what’s going on, what motivates license plate theft and what citizens can do to protect themselves.

First thing’s first: Police are not presuming a pattern in the most recent spate of thefts.

“We get these reports kind of sporadically and most often we’re seeing them in the areas of town right off of (Interstate 90), where someone can get in and out of town quickly,” Det. Laura Asbell said. “Sometimes it’s just a coincidence and we’ll see two, three or four reports in a short period of time. Or it can be that people don’t realize it’s been stolen out of town and they only realize their plate is missing when they’re here.

“And, of course, sometimes it’s just fallen off their car.”

However, there is one major motivation for thieves to steal a license plate, Asbell said:

TRAIL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

there,” Council member Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo said at the Tuesday meeting.

The county had originally opted from filling the ditches, as some of them had been classified as wetlands. However, many of the ditches were manmade.

There are four remaining issues the county and city have not come to a consensus on. This issues include establishing the standard for line of sight at intersections and how to handle drainage.

Public comment varied as some appreciated the updated design plan and others felt the county could be more flexible. Regardless of their stance, most everyone brought it back to

To hide the theft of a vehicle.

“The way our patrol guys will check for a stolen vehicle is to scan the plate,” she said.

Issaquah police patrol cars, and the patrol cars of many other American police departments, are equipped with Automatic License Plate Recognition technology for routinely checking plate numbers against state and national databases — including the National Crime Information Center, which maintains a record of cars listed as stolen. If the plate belongs to a reported stolen vehicle, that’s one of the first things an officer sees.

But thieves can conceal a stolen vehicle by replacing its plates with plates from a “clean” vehicle, which can make them undetectable until the plate is reported stolen or officers conduct a deeper check on a plate number that reveals an inaccurate car description.

“It buys them a little bit of time,” Asbell said.

The best way for drivers to combat license plate theft is to be aware of their vehicle, Asbell said. She suggested drivers make a habit of quickly circling and examining the outside of their car anytime they prepare to go for a drive.

a strong concern for safety.

A couple of people informed the council of some legal action some waterfront Sammamish property owners had filed against the county.

The Sammamish Home Owners Inc., an organization that represents lakeside owners in Sammamish and certain individual property owners, filed a suit against the county. The suit asks the court to define the county’s legal rights over the railroad corridor, which the trail follows along Lake Sammamish.

Above all residents were grateful the council stepped in to address segment A when they did.

“Thank god you stepped in at the last minute,” Reid Brown said.

Brown is a property owner within segment B, the portion between the

northern and southern portions of the trail. This will be the final part of the county’s project; it is still in the planning phase.

Brown, along with many citizens, felt the homeowners living near the northern section of the trail had gotten the short end of the stick. There hadn’t been much mediation involved with addressing public concerns along the northern section, which is nearing completion.

Brown wants the city and county to establish communication channels on segment B before reaching the end of the design plans.

The county hopes to produce the 95 percent design plan for segment A by spring.

The Issaquah Citizen Corps is preparing to get citizens ready for emergencies in the community.

The nine-class spring Citizen Emergency Response Training series begins March 18 and culminates in a disaster simulation drill on May 2.

The goal of the class series is to make residents aware of the dangers around them and teach them to be ready to respond and survive using skills such as first aid, supply building and search and rescue.

Issaquah is susceptible to a number of risks from natural phenomena, including high winds, power outages and flooding.

But chief among the area’s major risks is seismic activity.

“If you look at a fault line map of the area, one runs right along the I-90 corridor, so we have a high susceptibility to earthquakes,” Corpswoman Susana Ortiz said.

Additionally, because Issaquah was once a coal mining community, the surrounding hills and mountains contain large networks of hollowed out underground spaces that could lose structural integrity in a quake.

Walking a hungry mile To highlight child poverty Sammamish youth will fast for 30 hours starting Friday

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Five Sammamish churches are teaming up this weekend to teach local students what it means to be hungry.

Faith United Methodist Church director of student ministry Cody Charland expects 200 sixth through 12th graders to participate in the 30-hour famine event, which will begin Friday evening.

“That’s the biggest piece of this: the hunger experience,” Charland said.

The Pine Lake Covenant Church, Sammamish Presbyterian Church, Mary Queen of Peace, Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church and Faith United Methodist Church adopted World Vision’s 30-hour famine program as a way to teach local students empathy for others living in poverty.

World Vision is a far-reaching Christian humanitarian organization focused on tackling the causes of poverty and injustice, especially regarding children and families.

The program helps raise awareness and funds to fight hunger worldwide.

Students who wish to participate in the 30-hour famine event are to check-in at Pine Lake Covenant Church off of 228th Avenue Southeast at 5:15 p.m. Friday. Admission costs $15. Participants are not to eat anything after breakfast Friday morning.

Students and chaperones will march in solidarity at 7 p.m. to Sammamish Presbyterian Church where everyone will hunker in for the night.

Originally there was some discussion to have the students construct cardboard homes, as a way to experience homelessness.

This is one activity World Vision mentions on its website.

But Charland said that was not an appropriate lesson to teach students. He said it is inaccurate to portray homeless people in cardboard boxes.

Instead, since many homeless sleep in tents, Charland said participants can bring camping gear and pitch a tent in front of the church.

Everyone must bring some kind of sleeping gear. It will not be provided.

The canned food drive will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Students and chaperones will venture through the neighborhoods canvassing for donations. Donations will go to the Issaquah and Carnation Food Banks, Charland said.

The fast ends at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Anyone can participate in the event; students do not have to be affiliated with a participating church. Attendees do not have to preregister.

Water and juice will be available throughout the Friday and Saturday.

Electronic devices, including music players and cell phones, are not permitted during the event, according to the registration forms.

Home prices leveling off But affordability woes linger The following is a press release from the National Association of Realtors: Home sale prices statewide were down in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter, but up compared with the previous year, and the rate of home sales also dropped, according to the Runstad Center for Real Estate Studies at the University of Washington.

The statewide median sales price for a single family home stood at $266,900 in the final quarter of 2014, 3.7 percent lower than the third quarter, but 4.1 percent higher than the fourth quarter of 2013.

Similarly, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales fell 3.4 percent from the third quarter of 2014 — from 96,390 to 93,070 homes — while remaining half a percentage point above that time in 2013. This means that if the quarter’s pace continued unchanged for a year, that number of homes would be sold.

And though the volume of sales has recovered since the recent years of recession, overall sales remain 34 percent below their all-time high in the third quarter of 2003.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, home prices rose in all but one of the state’s metropolitan counties, Walla Walla County. Cowlitz County recorded the highest relative increase of 13.5 percent, followed by Douglas County at 12.1 percent. Median prices were lower than a year earlier in nine counties, with prices in Ferry County in northeast Washington

coming in 40 percent below last year.

Given the variety of location and market diversity in the state, median housing prices are highly variable, ranging from $60,000 in Ferry County to $449,300 in King County.

Housing affordability for all buyers statewide changed its recent course and rose in the fourth quarter. That index — where 100 means a middle-income family can just qualify for a median-priced home, given a 20 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed mortgage rate at prevailing rates — was 148.9, up from 143 the third quarter of 2014.

Statewide, the first-time buyer index showed an increase of 3.4 points, ending the quarter at 83.8.

Though up in general, housing affordability varied widely across the state. The least affordable county continues to be San Juan, and Ferry County the most affordable. For first-time buyers in metropolitan areas, Benton County was again the most affordable and King County the least affordable.

Affordability remains a challenge in the state’s housing market, the report said.

The Runstad Center produces home sales statistics in partnership with Washington Realtors. Each quarterly release coincides with information from the National Association of Realtors regarding median home prices by metropolitan area.

Sales, median home prices and affordability data for all Washington counties are available at the Runstad Center’s website, http://realestate.washington.edu/ research/wcrer/reports/.

Anytime Fitness to open in Klahanie Shopping Center 24-hour gym slated to open in the next few months, will replace Klahanie Fitness

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A new 24-hour fitness center is slated to open in the Klahanie Shopping Center sometime in the next few months.

Anytime Fitness, a worldwide franchise with more than 2,700 locations, will replace Klahanie Fitness.

Anytime Fitness owner David Tilton secured his lease for the now-empty location in January. He plans on opening after completely renovating the 6,000-squarefoot space to meet national Anytime Fitness standards.

“It’s going to be a nice, new club — a good fitness center,” Tilton said.

Tilton expects renovations will cost about $250,000.

The facility will include, among others, traditional cardio machines, free weights

and a fitness room where members will have access to more than 400 workout videos.

The gym will provided scheduled classes featuring courses like zumba or yoga.

Members can also sign up for a personal trainer.

Member fees have not been determined yet, but they will be comparable to other gyms, Tilton said.

Anytime Fitness members will have access to the gym 24-hours a day. Members will use RFID cards to access the facilities after business hours, when staff are not present.

Video cameras will be prevalent on site; a panic button will be installed in case of emergencies, Tilton said. Safety is a high priority.

This is the first Anytime Fitness to open in the area.

“They’ll be a great asset for the community,” said John Waters, the managing principal of the Gerrity Group, which acquired the Klahanie Shopping Center in 2011.

The previous tenant, Klahanie Fitness, had operated on a month-to-month basis, Waters said.

Gerrity Group had looked at filling

Anytime Fitness, which will replace Klahnaie Fitness in the Klahanie Shopping Center, will open after the 6,000-square-foot space is renevated. the space located off of Klahanie Drive Southeast with a daycare center or an Ace Hardware.

“In the end, I think the community wants a fitness center out there,” he said.

Tilton expects to employ about three staffers to start with; some former Klahanie Fitness employees have already reached out

to Tilton, expressing their interest in the job.

“I just hope we’ll be welcomed by the community,” he said.

More senior housing needed The director of housing development at Imagine Housing estimated there will be the need for an additional 936 units of subsidized housing every year until 2025 just to keep up with the demand on the Eastside, with major percentage of the additional units dedicated to low-income seniors.

The number of seniors in need of housing assistance will more than double in the next 10 years, predicted Sibyl Glasby. She said the elderly will represent 23 percent of the population in King County within a decade.

“We, as concerned citizens, we cannot sit back and wait for this crisis to become worse,” she said. “Lawmakers in Olympia should be urged to invest $100 million from the capitol budget in the Housing Trust Fund administered by the state Department of Commerce.”

Each dollar invested by state, she said, can be leveraged into $6-$10 to pay for affordable housing and programs for residents.

Imagine Housing is the only non-profit organization dedicated to developing low-income rental housing in East King County.

Seniors made up one-quarter of the 6,400 individuals accounted for in shelters and temporary housing during the One Night Count of the homeless in King County in January of 2014. The survey did not breakdown the age of individuals living on the street.

The City of Bellevue has coordinated its efforts to expand affordable housing with the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI). Bellevue currently has less than one dozen apartment communities, with fewer than 400 units, funded through A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) that are qualified to accept Section 8 vouchers for low-income seniors.

LIHI also has proposed units in Redmond and Issaquah, as well as the Kingsgate and Totem Lake areas of Kirkland set to be completed in the next three years. But only the Kirkland properties have units set aside for seniors.

Kelly Rider, the policy director for the Housing Development Consortium of Seattle King County, said senior housing needs to be more than just a safe place to live.

“Independent living is much less expensive than moving a senior into a private assisted living facility or anything with in-house medical care,” said Rider.

Wolves soccer program lands Wilson Crusaders thrive Former Bear Creek assistant coach makes move to Eastlake program

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

For the first time in 10 years a new face will be patrolling the touchlines as the head coach of the Eastlake Wolves girls soccer team this fall.

Eastlake Athletic Director Pat Bangasser recently announced the hiring of Marc Wilson as the new Wolves girls soccer head coach in mid-February. Wilson, who was previously an assistant coach with Bear Creek School the past two seasons, said having the opportunity to coach at Eastlake is a dream come true. The Wolves won a state championship in 2007 have unveiled eight winning seasons in the past 10 years.

"It is very rare that an opportunity presents itself at a school that has had so much success and tradition," Wilson said. "I knew it would be the perfect fit for me."

Wilson's mindset is similar to Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll in that he strives to be perpetually

"I believe you get more out of high school athletes under the guise of encouragement. Players will run through a wall for you if they believe in you and buy into what you are about," Wilson said. "It's got to be

about the kids and it has to be a great experience for them. Don't get me wrong, winning is important. I'm highly competitive and I like to win but at the end of the day it's really about the kids and making sure they have a great experience."

Wilson admitted leaving Bear Creek wasn't an easy choice.

"It was a very tough decision for me personally because I have such a high level of respect for that school and that community. There is no question in my mind I'm a better coach for having coached two years at Bear Creek," he said.

Wilson plans on sticking around on the Sammamish plateau at Eastlake for the long haul and aspires to make a lasting impact on his players’ lives.

"At the end of the day if I can call a former player four or five years after they've graduated and ask them if they were interesting in coming back to coach and be part of the program they played for, if they can answer that with a resounding yes then I know we as a coaching staff have done something right along the way," Wilson said.

Eastside Catholic wins nail-biter against Wilson with season on the line

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A battle-tested mentality benefitted the Eastside Catholic Crusaders boys basketball team immensely against the Wilson Rams with the season on the line.

The Crusaders, who defeated West Seattle and Franklin in loser-out games at districts, had to dig deep in a winner-to-state, loser-out regional playoff game against the Rams.

Eastside Catholic senior point guard Mandrell Worthy buried two free throws with 41.3 seconds left in regulation, giving the Crusaders a 52-51 lead.

Worthy extended the Crusaders’ lead to 53-51 on a free throw with 3.2 seconds left in the game but missed his second attempt.

Wilson secured the rebound and called a timeout with just 2.6 left in the contest. Wilson’s Ezaias Ruebel-Harris inbounded the ball to Wilson guard Dominique Hammond.

Hammond dribbled down the court at a breakneck speed down the left side of the floor before hoisting a three-pointer toward the basket.

The Issaquah Eagles defeated the Jackson Timberwolves 56-52 in a winner-to-state, loser-out regional playoff game on Feb. 28 at Everett Community College.

The shot attempt, which was from about 30 feet away as time expired, caromed off of the backboard and fell harmlessly to the hardwood as the Crusaders hung on for a dramatic 53-51 victory on Feb. 28 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

Worthy, who scored a team-high 20 points, wasn’t worried despite trailing the Rams 48-43 midway through the fourth quarter.

“Our coaches have been stressing all year that we have to be resilient. Our last two games (Lakeside, Franklin) we started the game down and came back to get the win. We were ready for this and we were prepared. We stayed poised because we have been through it before and we got the win,” Worthy said. “Our coaches have prepared us very well.”

The Crusaders survived a second half which saw the Rams catch fire from the perimeter.

Wilson knocked down

seven three-pointers in the final 16 minutes of regulation.

“They got hot and we just had to man up at the end and just finish the game off,” Worthy said.

Eastside Catholic head coach Bill Liley was proud of his team for coming through in the clutch.

“This team showed a lot of heart. We’ve been battling trying to be resilient for about a month now.

These kids were the definition of that tonight. We just battled and battled. These kids didn’t want their season to end. When that’s on the line you have guys do special things. We talked about that before the game, having people step up and do anything that it took to make sure we were able to continue our season,” Liley said. “This is a special team. I hope we can keep it rolling.”

Crusaders capture academic state wrestling Class 3A championship Eastside Catholic wrestling honored for their diligence in the classroom

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Eastside Catholic Crusaders wrestling program prides itself on excellence in the classroom and in the wrestling circle.

The diligence and hard work exhibited by the Crusaders’ grapplers paid off in full this past February.

Eastside Catholic, who had four grapplers compete at the Class 3A Mat Classic state wrestling tournament, attained the Class 3A academic state wrestling championship. The entire Crusaders wrestling roster was honored during a ceremony on the second day of the state tournament on Feb. 21 at the Tacoma Dome. The Crusaders combined team gradepoint average was 3.57. The cumulaavailable.

The Crusaders, who lost to Rainier Beach 47-45 in the state title game last season, are determined to bring home a Gold Ball (state title) to the Sammamish plateau.

“When you get there the goal is to win it. We have been there before. These guys have played in some big basketball games down in the Tacoma Dome. They absolutely want to make sure that we give ourselves a chance to play on TV (state title game) again,” Liley said with a smile.

Thybulle said last year’s loss to Rainier Beach in the title game has driven his team for the past 12 months.

tive GPA takes into account every wrestler in the program — not just the athletes who advanced to the state tourney. Eastside Catholic wrestling head coach Dennis Reddinger was ecstatic after being notified of his team’s achievement on Feb. 17.

“We found out on the Tuesday before the state tournament. We wanted to make sure we got all of the various team members to the Tacoma Dome to celebrate it,” Reddinger said.

“We’re hungry as hell.

Those two points hurt last year. We’re going to try to make sure that doesn’t happen again this year,” Thybulle said.

Worthy eagerly anticipates the chance for his team to shine at the Tacoma Dome this weekend.

“We got a lot of seniors on our team and have a lot of experience from last year. I feel like we’re ready because we’ve been through a lot of adversity. We’re very excited about the opportunity and are ready,” he said.

We’ve Got You Covered

The Crusaders squad gladly made the 48-mile trek to the Tacoma Dome for the festivities.

“It has been a team goal every year since I have been here. We talked about it a lot at the beginning of the year. We’ve been trying to reach it for a long time. I’m very proud of this team,” he said. “It’s very exciting for our program.”

She said most come directly from school to rehearse, prepare backstage and work in the administrative offices.

This year seven students from the Eastside were selected to the orchestra including, Mary Elizabeth Adler, 15, Newport High School; Leo Dage, 14, Interlake High school; Emma Hasselbach, 17, Bellevue College Running Start; Emily Kraynak, 15, Eastlake High School; William Rorneburg, 16, Redmond High School; Ryan Saathoff, 15, Eastlake High School; and Romil Sirohi, 16, Issaquah High School.

“The students not only experience the joy of performing and collaboration on one of the most beloved stages in the state, they learn professional responsibilities and essential life skills,” Summers said. “Through the Rising Star Project’s “Carousel” students are able to gain first-hand experience in the process of staging a full-scale musical with participation in all aspect of production; acting, dancing, singing, musicianship, stage management, technical crew, producing and even marketing and fundraising.”

“It’s challenging and difficult, but I’m enjoying exploring new things I didn’t know about the theater,” she said. “It’s really opened up my mind as to what there is to offer in theater.

There’s so many moving parts behind the scenes that go into making a show successful.”

She added, she hopes the experience is a jumping-off point to future job opportunities in the theater.

Her fellow orchestral musicians from the Eastside each said the opportunity is a “once-in-a-lifetime” and each is cherishing every moment.

“These musicians are all worldclass and it’s a privilege to play with them and learn from them,” Rorneburg said. “This is an opportunity we don’t get otherwise.”

Partnership with Bell. College, WSU not in the cards quite yet

BY JOSH STILTS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Bellevue College will not serve as a satellite campus for Washington State University, according to the college’s board of trustees.

Working groups for each of the universities had only met once before the Feb. 25 meeting, but talks will continue every other week until they decide if a partnership between the two is mutually beneficial, according to board chairman Steve Miller.

“This is a prime location for an educational institution,” Miller said of the Bellevue College campus. “We have a density of students, growing industry, supportive community for education, the possibility of big donors in the region, all of which makes this very attractive.

The question from our point of view is, given what we’re trying to achieve, is this the best way to do it?”

Last fall officials from WSU approached BC president David Rule with the idea of a partnership and after the board of trustees approved its exploration in December, a working group was formed.

Russell Beard, Bellevue College’s VP of information technology services and its working group spokesperson, told faculty, students and community members

Although The 5th Avenue Theatre’s professional production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Carousel” closed March 1, area youth from across Washington have been shadowing their mentors to perform their own show through The Rising Star Project.

The Rising Star Project’s “Carousel” kicks off 7 p.m. March 13 with a 2 p.m. matinee March 14. Tickets may be purchased in person or at the box office by phone at 206-625-1900 or online by visiting www.5thavenue.org.

Directed by Mathew Wright with choreography by Trina Mills and music direction by John Callahan, the young artists will be producing a Broadway caliber show in the same time as professionals would.

“The students in The Rising Star Project are some of the most driven, passionate and intelligent young people I’ve ever met,” Wright said. “The growth they achieve over the course of this event goes so much further than learning a complicated dance step, how to fill a lyric with intention or how to play a scene with life and drive … it’s a kind of deep, personal growth that is hard to describe, but incredible to watch.”

The tuition-free program was created by The 5th for teens to encourage a passion for the arts and give them access to working artists.

Students auditioned and interviewed for their positions on the team, according to Bridget Summers, 5th Avenue’s communications manager.

Friday, March 6, 2015

the two groups are trying to determine what BC would look like as a hybrid university offering both four-year bachelor’s degrees and associates degrees.

Miller said a partnership with WSU offers a lot of positives, especially financially, but ironing out the details will take time and compromise.

“We probably can’t get everything we want, so the question is what are the absolutes? What are our highest priorities?” he said.

If an agreement and deal can be struck, the earliest anything could happen is five years, Beard said, adding it would take roughly two years for it to get approved by the Legislature and the governor and another three to align the school’s curriculum transitioning from BC’s quarter system to WSU’s semester system.

As the largest transfer facility to the University of Washington, a partnership with WSU could put that accessibility for students in jeopardy, which could be a deal breaker.

Miller began the meeting stating any partnership would only be agreed to if it benefited the students, both current and future, and the surrounding community.

Fellow board member Lisa Chin expanded on Miller’s sentiment saying the underlying motive for any changes has to be enrichment of the students and community.

“I don’t think there’s any going back for us,” Miller said. “We either go forward with WSU or go it alone.

The status quo is no longer acceptable.”

Jumpin’ to eradicate maternal tetanus in newborns

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It’s time to grab your dancing shoes and join the Sammamish Kiwanis Club for its third annual Jumpin’ Jive to Thrive event Saturday.

“I’ve been known to get on the dance floor — probably more than I should,” former Kiwanis president and city council member Bob Keller said. “It’s a so much fun … It’s our hometown night out.”

The club expects between 150-200 people to show for the Kiwanis “birthday party” held at the EX3 Teen & Recreation Center from 7-10 p.m., for adults 21 and older.

This year’s event celebrates the international organization’s 100th anniversary and the Sammamish club’s 20th year of operation.

The Microsoft Jumpin’ Jive Orchestra, the event’s focal point, will provide music from the big band era. All of the musicians are either current or previous Microsoft employees.

The majority of the event’s proceeds will contribute to The Eliminate Project.

Kiwanis International, in partners with UNICEF, created the project to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Kiwanis International has dedicated the last several years to this project.

Thousands of newborn babies die from tetanus every year.

“It is a miserable, horrific death for a child,” Keller said.

It is contracted through unhygienic childbirth practices and it is highly lethal.

But tetanus is extremely preventable.

The Eliminate Project helps provide affordable vaccinations to women of childbearing age to stop the disease before it’s a problem.

Donating to causes like these are what really makes the evening magical for Keller and Kiwanis Chair Heidi Hodges.

“It’s just so important to look beyond your community,” Hodges said. “It’s a huge impact that such a small amount of money can make.”

With a series of three injections, that costs $1.80, maternal and neonatal tetanus can be stopped, according to the Kiwanis International webpage.

The 2014 Jumpin’ Jive to

About 200 people attended the first Jumpin’ Jive to Thrive event two years ago, pictured on the left. Proceeds for the last few years have gone toward ending maternal and neonatal tetanus.

Thrive event allowed the Sammamish Kiwanis to donate $4,000 to The Eliminate Project, in addition to the $4,500 distributed to seven local non-profits, Hodges said.

She hopes to donate at least $4,000 to The Eliminate project this year.

“There’s a huge giving spirit in this community,” she said. “That’s what makes us unique.”

Among the dancing, music and food, several nonprofit organizations will be hosting silent auctions. Proceeds from those auctions will go directly to those organizations.
