Irish president visits Plateau for Gaelic football match President’s visit a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity,’ Skyline PE teacher says

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It’s not every day a head of state comes to a high school physical

education class.

But on Oct. 22, Ireland President Michael Higgins did just that when he visited Skyline High School and watched about 36 students play Gaelic football, an Irish team sport.

The fast-paced, high-scoring game looks like soccer, until someone picks up the ball to bunt it forward. To most Americans, the game looks to be a combination

of football, soccer, volleyball and basketball.

As it happens, Gaelic football is pretty popular on the Plateau, at least in gym classes at Skyline and Eastlake high schools.

In late September 2014, there were 900 students from Skyline and Eastlake playing Gaelic football at the same time, according to Terry Lynch of the Gaelic Athletic

A task force appointed by the city of Issaquah released the results of a study of pedestrian and bicycle crossings Oct. 23 and the team has recommended improvements to 15 locations in the city. Seven of those locations have room for improvements inexpensive enough to be completed before year’s end, the report read.

The city commissioned a study of pedestrian and bicycle crossings over the summer and early fall, following the death of 4-year-old Haochen Xu, who was struck at a marked crosswalk on Newport Way Northwest June 26.

Greenway National Heritage bills in committee

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust is working to have its lands designated as a national heritage area.

Two bills authored by the orga-

nization were introduced into and passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate last year, but failed to be conferenced for approval

by President Barack Obama before the close of congressional session.

The bills, sponsored by Rep. Dave Reichert and Sen. Maria Cantwell,

have been reintroduced in the current session and presently sit in committee. They will need to pass committee, markup, new votes and conference to make it through this session, said Ben Hughey, a policy specialist for Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust.

“But we’ll never have progress unless a bunch of people get excited about it at home,” Hughey said.

The legislation would designate the greenway as a national heritage area and authorize a local coordinating SEE GREENWAY, 11

Hundreds plant trees along Issaquah Creek

Hundreds of volunteers showed up for an all-day work party at Confluence Park, planting native trees along the shoreline of Issaquah Creek. The trees will shade the creek and keep the water cool for salmon fingerlings.

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Hundreds came out to Confluence Park on Saturday, Oct. 24, to plant native trees along the shoreline of a rerouted Issaquah Creek.

According to Stewardship Director Tor Bell of Mountains to Sound Greenway, which organized the event, more than 300 signed volunteers and corporate teams planted the saplings of several arboreal species, including Douglas firs and red cedars.

“It seems like such a tradition here,” Bell said, speaking to the popularity of the event. “I’m always impressed by people’s care and compassion for the land. We have volunteering individuals, corporate groups … we had a small child here with a binky. It’s a rite of passage.”

The planting was the last step in the city of Issaquah’s multi-million dollar creek restoration project.

During the city’s industrial days, loggers and coal

miners altered the creek over the years, “hardening” it with debris to alter its flow, Parks and Recreation Director Anne McGill said. But this had the effect of making the creek less hospitable to salmon returning to the Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery to spawn.

Parks and Recreation worked for decades to restore the creek, beginning with the acquisition of Margaret’s Meadow, the first piece of what would become Confluence Park.

nator for the association’s Seattle branch, has been part of the organization for the past six years.

Lynch helped start the Gaelic football program at about six schools in the Issaquah School District and Lake Washington School District. The program began about five or six years ago.

That Americans are teaching other Americans to play the game, considered something of a national treasure to Irish citizens, is “something that’s caused a lot of amazement with folks in Ireland,” Lynch said.

“This was big news in Ireland,” he said.

“They are just flabbergasted that this is happening.”

And it’s something the Irish president just had to see for himself.

against soil erosion, among other alterations. The project was overseen by Kerry Ritland, Issaquah’s surface water manager. “[Seeing volunteers planting trees is] a great feeling because it’s really the completion of this process,” Ritland said. “So, yeah, it feels good.”

The trees, when grown,

the game to Skyline High School physical education teacher Brendan Hyland.

“We actually really enjoyed it because it was a new game we hadn’t seen before, but it’s easy to play,” Hyland said. “You don’t have to be super skilled to even start playing. That’s the nice thing about it.”

Hyland’s class was out on the field when Higgins came last week.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Hyland said.

Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance and Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard were also in attendance to meet the Irish president when he arrived with a small motorcade around 10 a.m.

“It’s not often that you get a head of state at your high school,” Vance said.

Along with his wife, Sebina, the Irish president’s visit was part of an eight-day trip to the U.S. West Coast.

will provide shade to the creek and keep the water cool for salmon fingerlings, Bell said. He added that their woody debris would also protect against soil erosion. Weeding will need to be done over time to ensure they grow unhindered, he said.

Though the planting marked the completion of work on the east fork of Issaquah Creek, more work remains to be done on Confluence Park.

Mayor Fred Butler has put construction of a bridge crossing the creek into his recommended budget for 2016, currently under discussion by the Issaquah City Council.

Butler, present at the planting, also noted that a lot immediately south of the creek fork would eventually be cleared to become part of Confluence Park, helping to make it a “place of quiet, peace and solitude,” he said.

Water and sewer operations serving South Cove and Greenwood Point will be transferred to the city of Issaquah, following a Bellevue City Council vote Oct. 19.

After Issaquah annexed the neighborhoods in 2006, Bellevue continued to provide the services.

Bellevue’s Deputy Utilities Director Andrew Lee said the eight-year wait was a matter of priorities.

“It didn’t happen for a long time,” he said.

“It was just the government getting around to more important matters first. It wasn’t a priority for Bellevue.”

Lee said Bellevue and Issaquah had worked together in good faith since Issaquah had made taking over the utilities a priority in June 2014.

“This was not a competitive thing,” Lee said. “It could have been contentious, but

both cities agreed to work cooperatively.”

Bellevue first assumed the water service to the areas from King County in 1973 and the sewer service from the Eastgate Sewer District in 1994.

Issaquah will not assume responsibility for the services until Jan. 1, 2017, assuming the Bellevue City Council motion passes a Boundary Review Board review.

“That delay would be because Issaquah needs to update its billing system,” Lee said.

“Bellevue has automatic credit deduction and Issaquah doesn’t. We want to make the transition seamless for ratepayers.”

As part of the deal, Bellevue will pay $256,944 from its utility renewal and replacement funds to Issaquah.

In turn, Issaquah will pay a yearly “wheeling” charge of a little more than $7,300 to Bellevue for the cost of pumping water to South Cove and Greenwood Point.

Sammamish continues to move forward on annexation process Committee to hear from police chief, census to begin in mid-December

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish police chief will speak to the Klahanie-area Transition Committee on Nov. 12 regarding police services in the annexation area after the new year.

The committee has been meeting with city staff and officials since August to discuss concerns within the bedroom community leading up to the annexation.

Sharing information with someone who listens and plans on doing something about it in due time is new for the Klahanie community, committee chair Lorrie Schleg said.

“The county is so big and we’re just a small piece of it,” Schleg said.

Now, the roughly 2-square-mile area will represent a “decent sized chunk” of Sammamish, she said.

The area remains in unincorporated King County until officially becoming part of Sammamish Jan. 1, 2016.

During the transition, as part of the agreement City Manager Ben Yazici negotiated with the county, the county promised to maintain the parks and roads, among other areas, through the end of the year. The work is valued at $340,400.

Tim Larson, city communications director, said people are starting to see the signs of these improvements, specifically the upkeep of Klahanie Park.

The county committed to maintaining the park, including irrigating, seeding and fertilizing, at an estimated cost of $40,000.

Typically, the county stops irrigating the park during the summer as a cost-sav-

ing measure, Yazici said.

“Sammamish will do a lot more than King County, is what it sounds like,” Schleg said.

For a long time the large park has been under utilized, Schleg said. There’s a large area behind the baseball field that’s not often used and the playground set is too small.

During the October transition meeting, Schleg said there’s also the possibility of the city opening the park’s restrooms year-round, which will require heaters to keep the pipes from freezing.

Overall, the issues the committee relays to the city are concerns many Sammamish residents already face, Larson said.

Most of the issues revolve around traffic, public safety and speeding throughout the neighborhoods.

For example, Klahanie Boulevard poses a significant speeding problem, Schleg said.

During the September

meeting, the committee and city talked about applying methods to narrow the wide road without giving up the plentiful street parking. As it is now, the openness of the road makes it feel like drivers can exceed the residential speed limit, Schleg said.

Also in September, the Sammamish City Council approved a $15,000 census contract with Census Services. The firm will conduct the survey house-by-house starting Dec. 19.

There are approximately 3,930 housing units in Klahanie annexation area, according to city documents.

Per state law, the city is required to conduct a census.

The addition of Klahanie will also result in approximately $634,000 in additional annual state-shared revenue, according to city documents.

The amount the city receives in annual stateshared revenue, from sources like the gas tax, can change.

In September, the city council also authorized $138,000 to purchase vehicles and equipment for the area.

City hopes to bid for website update

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The city of Sammamish has $75,000 in the 2015-16 budget earmarked for an upgrade to the city’s website, which the Sammamish City Council approved in 2014.

The progress of updating the site was set back due to a vacancy in the IT department, which IT Director Joe Guinasso said has been filled.

The city will likely ask for request for service proposals at the end of the year or early 2016.

The update will make the backend of managing and updating the website easier. It’s not a content change.

The city last updated the site in 2006. It’s one of the older city websites, Guinasso said.

“With our existing system, most of the file attachment code is different depending on the attachment type,” Guinasso said in an email.

Part of the website project will include a content management system that will allow city staff to “handle content editing, including file attachments and user management,” Guinasso said.

“This will replace a lot of the older parts of the site, and switch us to a more widely used system with support options available,” he said.

The code and user interface to upload an agenda is different from those used to upload an ordinance and that’s different for uploading park brochures and on, Guinasso said.

“A lot of this was created years ago, so any bug or modification takes a long time,” he said. “This is true for a lot of the older features on our site.”

Give students time, not labels

A

survey of 66 large, urban school districts shows that students spend about 2.3 percent of their class time taking standardized tests. Put another way, that’s about 20-25 hours over the school year.

Many people say that’s too much. We agree.

It’s not that testing is bad. But many times tests don’t really do anyone — students, parents or teachers — any good.

What they do tell is how well a student has mastered the material in a given course at the time the test is given. The problem comes in how the test results are used.

If a test is given during a semester, the grade can indicate if a student needs more help to understand the course material. A best-case scenario is that the student gets the needed help.

When the test given at the end of a semester, too often it pins a label on the student as being really good (an A or B), OK (the C grade), or a near or complete failure (D or F).

For C, D, or F students, if often means that the student hasn’t mastered the material in a given — and arbitrary — time.

Some students need more time and instruction to fully understand a subject. That rarely happens except in summer school. And that can be months after the original course was taken.

It would be better to give more time and teaching as soon as it is apparent the student is having difficulty.

Doing that takes more money to provide more teachers to teach more hours. Sadly, taxpayers don’t seem willing to pay for this. It’s cheaper to just shrug our shoulders and say some students are just “dumb.”

But it isn’t true. And it isn’t right.

Not all adults can master some new information in the same time as everyone else. When they can’t, they take more time, usually without any penalty.

Students shouldn’t be treated any differently.

If we want all students to succeed — and we should — let’s give them the extra time and instruction they need.

Tests may be good, but they shouldn’t define someone.

Time for us all to help decide what we want for the Eastside T

he old Sunday morning trope asks, “What’s missing from CH _ _ CH? U R!“ No, it’s not particularly funny (my pastors growing up never were). It does, however, make a quick and important point – any group of people is only as vibrant as the people who participate in it.

Well, there are no letters “U” or “R” in the words, “Eastside decisionmaking,” but the point is no less true. It’s simply not complete without you.

That the Eastside is growing is not news. It’s been popular to tout our greater diversity JAMES than Seattle’s for WHITFIELD years — more languages spoken in the schools, more foreign-born residents, fewer percentage of white residents. Then there is the infamous reverse commute — more workers come to the Eastside from Seattle to work than vice versa.

Yes, the Eastside is growing, but who’s deciding what we want to be when we grow up?

Despite roughly the same population as the Eastside, Seattle has a significant structural advantage when it comes to plotting its course — Seattle is a single municipality. Public participation in city-limits-constrained political processes results in widespread policy-setting.

Leadership Eastside Day

The Sammamish City Council will proclaim Leadership Eastside Day at its regular meeting next week “in recognition of the fine work Leadership Eastside has done over the years,” Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard said last week.

The meeting will be at Sammamish City Hall Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m.

What of the Eastside? With almost two-dozen municipalities, five school districts, business powerhouses with more global employees than the populations of the cities that host them, and a myriad of compassionate, engaged non-profits, it requires significant collaboration and focus to affect the whole.

And affecting the whole Eastside is what’s needed to plot a coherent course. That’s the way to grow up rather than to simply hope to keep growing.

So go the lessons of other U.S. communities looking to match and surpass our region’s success. A group of community leaders, led by Bellevue Downtown Association, has been traveling to peer cities around the country for the past several years to learn from their mistakes and progress. After visiting Vancouver, British Columbia, Denver, Pasadena, Austin, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, one obser-

vation shines brightly as an underpinning of their recent advances: leaders in those communities collaborated to create a plan. Despite the challenge of multiple municipal boundaries — i.e., the two dozen cities in Denver County or the long, differing histories of Minneapolis vs. St. Paul — public, private, and non-profit leadership came together to plan their future and collaborate to get there.

The good news is a brand new partnership of business, non-profit and public sector leaders is emerging across the Eastside to identify opportunities to collaborate on maximizing our inherent advantages and seizing the future.

What’s missing? You are. That’s why, Leadership Eastside and Sound Publishing’s Eastside publications are working together to invite their readers’ voices into the conversation.

The people who live and work here should have a say in the course that is plotted.

The time has come for us to be intentional about the kind of community we want to live in tomorrow.

And to set a table where everyone has a chance to participate in making that happen.

The time has come for the Eastside to grow up.

Welcome to the table.

James Whitfield is president and CEO of Leadership Eastside, a nonprofit that convenes leadership for the greater good.

east Bush Street; Northeast Park Drive and Northeast Federal; and Highlands Drive Northeast at Northeast Discovery Drive.

Three of the four SR 900 problem spots are under the responsibility of the Washington State Department of Transportation. The city is waiting for input on those intersections from WSDOT. Residents noted at many of the problem areas, vehicles failed to yield to pedestrians. At one such crossing, the intersection of Front Street South and Southeast Bush Street, staff proposed inexpensive fixes such as trimming tree branches blocking a pedestrian crossing sign and installing two-way reflective pavement markers onto crosswalk stripes — at a total cost of $800.

But, in the long term, staff proposed installing a pedestrian refuge island in the center lane at a cost of $60,000.

The council’s conversation and vote were essentially thrown out at the Oct. 20 regular meeting.

“We have decided nothing at this point, other than to move forward,” Deputy City Manager Lyman How-

ard said Oct. 20.

Howard told council the final scope of the project has not been decided and that city staff are presently looking to narrow the parameters of the scope of work.

“Basically we’re trying to put some guardrails up with that design,” Howard said.

As part of the contract approved in May with Perteet Inc. to create a pre-

liminary design report for the corridor, the company will help the city “flesh out” various design options related to the project, Howard said Oct. 20.

After the open house, city staff will brief the Sammamish council on public input Nov. 10.

Cunningham hopes to bring a design contract for council review Dec. 1.

There will be another opportunity for feedback on the design scope and analysis further into the process, Cunningham said.

“As we get into about 10 percent, maybe 15 percent of the design work, we’ll come back and say … now we want to talk about the final scope,” he told council Oct. 20.

Construction on the Sahalee Way corridor is

The finished area will likely include a three-lane configuration, two northand southbound lanes with a center turn lane or median strip, as well as bike lanes and a sidewalk on the west side of the street, according to city documents.

The project is listed on the city’s six-year Transportation Improvement Plan.

Skyline defeats Issaquah in overtime thriller

BY SHAUN SCOTT

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Issaquah Eagles girls soccer team’s undefeated season came to screeching halt against their most formidable rival.

In a contest featuring the Class 4A KingCo regular season championship on the line, the Skyline Spartans registered an improbable comeback 2-1 overtime win against the Eagles on Oct. 22 at Skyline High School in Sammamish. Skyline forward Aleesandra Zonta scored the game-winning goal in the 87th minute, lifting the Spartans to a one-goal victory. Spartans’ midfielder Emma Rohleder had the assist on Zonta’s goal. The Spartans finished the regular season with an overall record of 9-2-3 while Issaquah finished with a 11-1-2 record.

“It feels great. To finally score in the second half of overtime was great. There is just a lot of emotions right now,” Zonta said.

Skyline head coach Don Braman was jubilant following the comeback triumph in front of the hometown fans on senior night.

“At the end of the day I’m just swept away at the end of the game because it was just another super intense game between Skyline and Issaquah,” Braman said.

“It is just everything that you would ever want out of a high school soccer contest and is everything that is great about high school sports. I thought Issaquah really dominated play in the first half. That was to be expected, but our team is resilient, have strong hearts and found a way.”

Issaquah got on the board first when Mariah Vanhalm scored in the 37th minute, giving the Eagles a

1-0 lead. Vanhalm’s header goal came off a pass from teammate Kaylene Pang’s free kick from close to 40 yards away.

Issaquah clung to its one-goal lead until disaster struck with just three minutes to go in regulation. Skyline’s Rohleder carried the ball down the field in a oneon-one goal scoring opportunity against Issaquah goalie Anna Miller. The two players collided on the play and the referee gave Miller a red card, resulting in an ejection for the Eagles’ keeper and a penalty kick for the Spartans. Cameron Tingey calmly connected on the penalty kick, tying the game at 1-1 with three minutes left in the game. Issaquah head coach Tom Bunnell vehemently disagreed with the referee’s call on the play.

“I completely disagree with the ref’s call on the penalty. I’m shocked at that. She (Miller) was going for the 50/50 ball,” Bunnell said. “I just felt like it was the wrong call in an intense moment.”

The Spartans and Eagles will face off in a winner-tostate, KingCo Championship game at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 at Skyline High School in Sammamish. The Eagles will play without their No. 1 goalie Miller due to the ejection. If a player gets a red card, they are automatically suspended for their next game. Braman agreed with the referee’s decision on the play, but at the same time felt sympathy for the Eagles.

“In my mind, there was no question and by the rule book a card can be given. I just think it is really hard on a senior (Miller) who has been a great contributor Photo courtesy of Rick Edelman/Rick Edelman Photography to their program to miss the (KingCo) championship Skyline senior Lindsey Fujiwara, center, controls the ball while being game,” Braman said. “Fortunately for them (Issaquah) defended by Issaquah’s Catey Nelson, right, in the regular season finale they’ve got a No. 2 (Narea Arrazola) who is a phenombetween rival schools on Oct. 22 in Sammamish. enal goal-keeper as well.”

Mogg punches ticket to state tourney Eastlake duo nabs individual titles at KingCo 4A meet Skyline senior golf stalwart Chris Mogg saved his best 18 holes of golf for the final day of the Class 4A KingCo District golf tournament.

Mogg, who shot a combined 135 (71, 64) during the two-day tourney, captured second place Oct. 13 at the Snohomish Golf Course. Mogg’s second place finish clinched a spot at the Class 4A state golf championships taking place in May 2016 in the Tri-Cities.

Mogg’s performance on the second day of the tourney, where he shot a 64, was the second lowest round in the history of the KingCo District tournament. Mogg said he was motivated to keep up with Redmond’s Sean Kato throughout both rounds. Kato captured first place with a score of 133.

“I was four back after the first day. I knew I had to do something spectacular the second day because he is such a solid player,” Mogg said. “Going head to head with a player like Sean was a lot of fun. We were kind of going back and forth the whole time. He ended up beating me by two strokes. I wanted to beat him but going back and forth like we did was a blast.”

This spring will be Mogg’s second consecutive appearance at the Class 4A state tournament.

“Last year was my first year there (at state) and I got second place. This year I’m looking to win that tournament,” he said.

Mogg will continue his golf career with Gonzaga University this fall. He verbally committed to Gonzaga this past June.

“The golf program is awesome. The coach (Robert Gray) is a great guy and the academics at the school are great. I’m just looking forward to going to a great college as well as a great golf team. I feel that we can compete with any of the schools we face including Washington State where my brother (Brian Mogg) is on the team,” Mogg said.

Skyline’s top golfer said he learned immensely from Skyline head coach Mike Fleming during his high school career.

“Mike Fleming has been a great golf coach as well as a great leader for me. This last year he has especially been on me about being a great leader for the younger players on our team as well. He’s definitely helped me develop as a person as well as a golfer,” Mogg said.

Two Eastlake Wolves runners were crowned champions at the Class 4A/3A KingCo track meet Oct. 24 at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Junior Pia Richards earned first place in the girls race with a time of 18:21.4 and senior Nathan Pixler nabbed first place in the boys race with a time of 15:33.2.

Eastlake Cross Country coach Troy Anderson was jovial after seeing two of his team’s top runners rise to the occasion in a pressure packed postseason race.

“We had a pretty darn good day on Saturday.

Both of them just had outstanding races. Going into it, that was the goal for both of them. It all comes down to who is ‘on’ that day. Both of them ran fantastic races,” Anderson said.

Richards edged out Issaquah’s Kenna Clawson, who finished in second place, by 8.9 seconds.

Issaquah’s Sami Corman finished in third place and Mount Si’s Hannah Waskom nabbed fourth.

Anderson said Clawson and Waskom started the race in the front of the pack of runners.

“They are both the type of runners who like to push the pace from the beginning. That is one of their strengths,” Anderson said. “Pia is somebody who has a fantastic kick.

Those three have raced against each other quite a bit and they know what each others strengths and weaknesses are.”

Anderson said Richards took the lead with a little more than a mile remaining in the 5,000 meter race.

“At the two-mile mark there is a good stretch of beach at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Coming off the beach at about the 2.25 mile-mark Pia just took over the lead and maintained that lead in the last mile and just extended it,” Anderson said. “She finished with her great kick in the end like she normally does, but this time there was no one for her to catch.”

Pixler didn’t enjoy a convincing lead until the closing 100 meters of his race. Instead, he trailed Inglemoor’s Nick Laccinole and Issaquah’s Kennan Schrag with just 300 meters left in the race.

“Nathan has one of the top two or three kicks if not the best kick in the state,” Anderson said.

“The runners in front of him (Laccinole, Schrag) were not able to create enough separation. When he (Pixler) decided to go with about 300 meters to go, he just took off and opened up an eight-second lead by the end of the race which is pretty crazy.

He was just flying. It was pretty awesome.”

entity for the area. That entity would develop a plan for preserving the greenway’s natural and historical resources and work with federal, state, tribal and local authorities to do so.

“It will allow us to look at this holistically,” Hughey said. “We’ll be able to get resources to agencies like the Forest Service that are strapped for cash.”

In the Senate version of the bill, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust would be established as the local coordinating entity.

The House version would give the Secretary of the Interior authority to appoint the entity.

Another key difference between the largely similar House and Senate Bills is the

designation of federal funding. The Senate bill authorizes 50 percent federal funding for the heritage area, up to $1 million per year.

The House bill remains silent on the subject of funding, the result of work with thenRep. Doc Hastings (R-Pasco), the former chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources, to get the bill past committee, Hughey said.

Hughey said the history of U.S. expansion into the greenway is tied intimately into the old Pacific Railroad, authorized by the Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862. Landmarks like the North Pacific Depot in Ellensburg and the Snoqualmie Tunnel would potentially receive greater attention and upkeep within a national heritage area.

Issaquah History Museums, which operates the Issaquah Depot Museum from a former railroad depot, has endorsed the bill.

Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.

3. Accountability

There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We sell, build, install and warrant both our windows and installation.
