Lines out door of long-vacant space BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The morning of Feb. 19, shoppers were lined up out the door of the retail center on the corner of Southeast 56th Street and East Lake Sammamish Parkway. Many had grabbed baskets and carts to be at the ready. Others milled about and chatted up the staff at the welcome booth, set up on a card table beside the parking lot. Two men, Josh Immordino and Justin Harvey, passed the time with games of cribbage. It was probably the most foot traffic the old Albertsons building had seen in the more than six years since the grocery store announced its closure. The building remained perennially vacant during that time, with the exception of short-term leases to the Spirit Halloween company during the fall. Complicating matters was the fact that property owner Merlon Geier Partners had inherited an agreement that barred them from leasing to certain grocery competitors, such as Kroger

or Walmart, until 2052. MGP wound up halving the roughly 50,000-square-foot building into two retail spaces. Inside the store, more than 60 new Value Village employees gathered around Savers Inc. CEO Ken Alterman for a pre-opening ceremony pep talk, while city officials and corporate administrators awkwardly made small talk nearby. Alterman reminded the employees to relax, that first-day hiccups were normal. Some of the employees made last minute adjustments within the aisles and aisles of clothing. Two days earlier, the store and the merchandise had been a mostly empty space and a pile of donations, respectively. They went outside and began the opening ceremony. “I think you’re going to be shocked when you go inside, especially if you were here Tuesday,” Alterman said, addressing shoppers. “The merchandising is extraordinary.”
Sammamish’s public works director and King County’s parks director negotiated, point-by-point, the most southern section of the East Lake Sammamish Trail design plans Feb. 19. This followed the Sammamish City Council’s passionate discussion at last week’s meeting, where council members expressed their disappointment and befuddlement with the county’s lack of flexibility in the updated design plans for segment A, which stretches from 43rd Way Southeast to Southeast 33rd Street. Together city Public Works Director Laura Philpot and county Parks Director Kevin Brown spent a day last week walking and biking the trail. They said they reached an agreement on the majority of the design plans, like deciding to fill a ditch instead of chopping down trees in order to make room for the wider path. “There’s some areas that they could go a little further on,” Philpot said. “We haven’t been satisfied and neither has
From QFC to Safeway, the city of Sammamish wants to install smarter traffic signals along the 228th Avenue corridor. Several contractors submitted bids to the city to construct the adaptive signal control technology at 11 intersections from the Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast intersection at 228th Avenue to the Northeast 12th Place and 228th Avenue intersection. The
bids were published on the city’s webpage in mid-February. An adaptive control is a form of traffic signal that responds in real time to traffic conditions. It reads the road and can help control congestion. With adaptive technology, delays decrease and vehicles are more fuel efficient. This technology would be able to react more seamlessly to unpredictable traffic fluctuations and increased congestion, according SEE TRAFFIC, 8

A creek nearly restored thanks to volunteers BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Community members have helped significantly reduce the blackberry population and replant about 200 native plants around Ebright Creek. The community volunteer events to restore nearly an acre around the creek in Ebright Creek Park began in early October. Long-time Sammamish resident Patricia Elkoury grabbed a shovel and joined the other 30 volunteers in digging up invasive blackberries Saturday morning. Elkoury, 32, was inspired by some of the environmental classes she’s taking at University of Washington to clean up the area. “I thought, if I wanted to get real experience, I better just get out there and do it,” she said. Elkoury, who has volunteered for other restoration projects within the city, said she will apply the experience of uprooting invasive plants and replacing them with native species to the restora-

tion of her own back yard. While some volunteers cleared the area, others carried buckets of mulch to native plants that volunteers planted during a previous event. Several Washington Native
Plant Society stewards were on site helping people identify which plants to uproot. They also provided additional information about native shrubs and trees. Plant society stewards go through a free training program and as a way to repay that free training commit time to a specific project. There were two teams of five on site helping execute the restoration plan. “Right now, as you look at it,” said steward Michelle Cranwell Walter, indicating the work area around the creek Saturday morning, “it has been completely overrun by Himalayan Blackberries, and they cover up the native species.” Invasive species, like the Himalayan Blackberry, sprawl across an area cobbling up and out competing other plants. At Ebright Creek, some of the native plants volunteers were placing throughout the work area included the Oregon Grape and the sword fern. Cranwell Walter, of Issaquah,
showed volunteers how to surround the newly planted native shrubbery with mulch. The mulch helps insulate the plant, keeping it warm, and it helps the plant retain moisture. Retaining moisture is particularly crucial in the summer, when the area is drier. Native plants, unlike the invasive blackberry, help stop erosion because they root deeply in the ground. The variety of plants provides better shelter and food sources for insects, birds or other animals living there. When invasive species overtake an area, it creates a monoculture, Sammamish volunteer coordinator Elby Jones said. “It basically chokes everything out,” Jones said, referring to the invasive plant. Community members can join in restoring the creek March 21 at 9 a.m. Megan Campbell: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com
Issaquah doles out more than $160,000 to arts BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Who says there’s no money in art? The city of Issaquah will be doling out more than $160,000 in grants in 2015, divvied among 30 projects selected by the Arts Commission. That amount exceeds the city’s 2015 budget
of $130,000 for arts grants. But the shortfall will be made up with money from the Municipal Art Fund, which ended 2014 with a hefty $300,000 balance. The grants were approved by consent of the city council Feb. 17. In all, 18 non-government organizations and eight schools and associate institutions
within the Issaquah School District applied for grants totaling $220,715 for 32 projects. Those projects include events like Issaquah Parks and Recreation’s Concerts on the Green and the Chamber of Commerce’s Salmon Days Festival, educational programs like artEAST’s youth programming and parks and rec’s Teen SEE GRANTS, 3

the county staff.” Brown has committed to finding a resolution on the last few items, he said. For this section of the trail, segment A, the design plans are 90 percent complete. Community members had until Thursday to submit comments to the county regarding the trail. The county received 160 comments during its previous comment period that ended Oct. 29, 2014, Brown said. County staff are still working on responding to some of these comments. Per the request of the city council last week, Brown will attend the next meeting, on March 3, to go over the 90 percent design plans. “We believe we’ll be able to make many of those changes,” Brown said. “We’re very committed to working with the city of Sammamish and its residents.” The northern section of the 11-mile path is already under construction. Segment B of the southern section is still in the planning phase. The county hopes to begin construction on segment A in the summer. The trail stretches around the eastern side of Lake Sammamish and has been a point of contention for years. Megan Campbell: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com

Farewell, Mr. Groshart!
Reporter editor retires after 28 years on Eastside BY JOSH STILTS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
His hand reaches for a copy of a long-forgotten issue of a newspaper and a smile spreads easily across his face at the memory of the story he wrote. “It was so fulfilling to CRAIG tell her story,” he said. “I GROSHART forgot how much fun I had writing people’s stories and features.” Some years ago Craig Groshart spent an entire day following the then Issaquah superintendent, shadowing her every move and chronicling the tough decisions she faced at nearly every turn, both as an administrator and someone battling cancer. It’s just one example of the more than a half-century of work he’s accomplished telling and shaping the story of his Northwest communities as an education reporter, business editor, page editor and most recently as the editor of the Bellevue and Issaquah/Sammamish reporters. After countless news briefs, editori-

als and meetings, Groshart, who turns 73 this year, said it was time to hang up his reporter pad and red editor’s pen announcing his retirement. Today marks the end of an era, but the beginning of a new chapter for the staple of community news on the Eastside. “It’ll be fun to do other things. I’ve always wanted to do more volunteer work, but for whatever reason I didn’t have the time or couldn’t because of a potential editorial conflict. Now my wife and I can do that as we please.” In 1987 Groshart joined the JournalAmerican, which became the Eastside Journal, then the King County Journal when it merged with the South County Journal. That paper would be sold to Sound Publishing at the end of 2006 and closed shortly after before being redistributed as the various Reporter papers we have today. Groshart was appointed editor of the Bellevue paper and a year later took on the Issaquah/Sammamish paper. However Groshart’s first job in journalism was much earlier. At 15 years old, Craig ran a Linotype machine, rewriting press releases a few nights a week for The

Magnolia News, a community newspaper in Seattle. Other nights he’d run the press. And while no news agency uses Linotypes anymore, Groshart said the experience was invaluable and encouraged anyone interested in pursing a career in journalism to understand its history. “Learn to do all the aspects of the job you can,” he said. “Photography, social media, writing … if someone is offering a workshop go to it. Above all, read good writers.” As he looks at what’s next, Craig said he and his wife JoAnne have already started identifying opportunities to continue helping their community. The Grosharts have helped prepare meals for the men’s winter shelter, chop-

ping vegetables for salads and making a meatloaf or whatever else needed help with. Craig said he and his wife wanted to do more and it makes sense to move on as editor. But once a journalist, always a journalist. It’ll only be a matter of time before he’s got the itch to write again, to tell other people’s stories, sharing their narratives with others. “Journalism is so rewarding,” he said. “Emotionally, philosophically, but not really financially. That’s OK. You never make much money, but your day is different every day and you’re making a difference every day.” Josh Stilts: 425-453-4290; jstilts@bellevuereporter.com

EDITOR’S NOTE
Goodbye — and hello
T
oday is my last day at the Reporter. I’m retiring. For someone who never planned to go into journalism, I’ve suddenly discovered that I’ve spent the last 33-plus years writing stories and taking photographs of people and organizations with newspapers that one way or the other have become part of Sound Publishing. Add in other papers I’ve worked for in the Northwest and my career is even longer. It’s been fun, interesting and personally rewarding. I knew in high school that I wanted to do something that would be a benefit to society. At the time, I had my eyes set on the foreign service as a way to contribute to the greater good. Two things got in the way. My college major was political science, and while I found politics interesting and enjoyable, studying the theory of government was not. Also, it seemed like a good idea to speak a second language. CRAIG I reasoned that my four years of studying GROSHART Latin in high school wouldn’t do much, so I took French. I discovered I have a tin ear for languages. After a year of study about all I could say in French was “French fries.” I then spent several quarters at the University of Washington looking for something else. I found journalism — or maybe it found me. The writing was fun and interesting and I quickly knew that done right, a journalist could give back to the community by accurately telling readers what was going on in the world around them. It didn’t matter if I personally agreed with the person or the issue in my story. I’ve always believed that if a community had as much information as possible about a situation or issue, it would make the right decision — whatever that decision turned out to be. In other words, I wanted to tell the story, not be part of it. All the papers I’ve worked for — dailies and weeklies — SEE RETIRING, 5 ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

Use hearing examiner to review barricade issue
I am pleased to see that the Sammamish City Council approved instructing the city manager to embark on a study regarding details about the removal of the Opti-Com barricade located at the 19900 block of Northeast 42nd Street. I hope that the city will engage a professional traffic engineer to study the issue and look at both sides of the issue. Then implement the Barricade Review Process established in 2010 or engage a hearing examiner to make a recommendation to the council for action. It really seems like the staff does not want to be in the middle of this contentious issue, so I strongly recommend that a hearing examiner be employed. A hearing examiner will be objective in reviewing the facts, an arbiter of the facts one might say. The city has stalled on making a decision on this barricade for years. The citizens deserve a fair and impartial decision on this issue. Some assert that removal of the
barricade will have negative affects to the neighborhood to the west, but they overlook the negative affect the barricade causes the neighborhood to the east at the present time. They also overlook the big picture regarding traffic circulation, signal warrants and reduced level of service issues caused by the barricade diverted traffic. I am certain that these folks are well meaning and just reacting to a fear of more traffic. So let us embark on a study to look at the facts and stop the emotional attempts to silence and subvert the study of this issue. I think it is only fair and neighborly for both neighborhoods to take their fair share of the traffic rather than divert all of the traffic through one neighborhood with a barricade.
Greg Reynolds, Sammamish
Answers needed on Sammamish trail
The East Lake Sammamish Trail has hit a fever pitch with the 90 percent review completed on section 2A. The Feb. 17 city council meeting was evidence of the mounting frustration as to the handling of this, both by the county, and our own city.
?
Question of the week:
“Do you think the Mariners will make it to the playoffs this year?”
If King County fails to hear our citizens and leaders, then our council has the power to withhold permitting to the county until they do. I certainly hope county leaders like Dow Constantine, Jane Hague and Kathy Lambert will listen, and that reasoning and common sense won’t escape King County’s Kevin Brown on this process. If they cannot get answers from the county that satisfy council and citizens alike, permitting should be withheld until amicable solutions can be found between the county and city. Council: don’t let the county steam roll us, and get the answers before that review is 100 percent complete. The clock is ticking.

have emphasized local, community news. And these days, more than ever, I think that’s what we need. We’re coming and going so fast that many of us don’t know our neighbors. After a long, grinding commute to and from work, we’re often too exhausted to attend a public meeting. At the same time, we’re bombarded with an endless stream of information through social media. Journalists always have been there to help sort that out. These days that’s becoming more of a challenge. Gathering news and getting it to readers (or viewers) is labor intensive. Someone has to go to the meeting to tell you what went on. Someone has to interview officials to find out where they stand on issues. Someone has to gather the bits and pieces of community events and give them to you in a concise, readable way. These days there are a host of blogs. But that doesn’t mean they’re a source for news, regardless of what they say. When the Seattle P-I said it was ending its print edition and being on-line only, many people commented that that was OK because they only read the P-I online anyway. Perhaps it didn’t dawn on them that the only reason there were local stories online was that the P-I’s print reporters wrote them and put them there. The P-I saved money when it ended its print edition. No more paper and ink to buy or people to pay to operate the press. But it still needed reporters to write sto-

ries. And, unfortunately, online advertising doesn’t yet produce enough revenue to pay for lots of reporters. Fortunately Sound Publishing still believes in community newspapers and provides stories both in print and online. I’ve also been amazed in how producing news for readers has changed over time. My first newspaper job (not counting delivering them) was operating a linotype machine, a mechanical behemoth that injected molten metal into brass molds of letters and cast them into lines of type. I did this alone at night at a community newspaper and also operated the press — again on my own. I was 15. It was great fun and I’m still thankful that state or federal agencies didn’t find out and tell me I couldn’t do what was obviously a dangerous job. As I began working on newspapers as a journalist, news stories were produced on strips of glossy paper and pasted on to sheets to make news pages, which were photographed to make plates to go on a press. Today we can generate news stories and photos on our cell phones and send them instantly around the world. As I approach my last week here at the Reporter, I’ve been looking back at a number of stories I have covered. A memorable one was spending a day with Issaquah schools superintendent Kateri Brow as cancer forcer her to make changes in her life, but not stint on service to kids, teachers and the community. The Eastside was — and still it — full of remarkable people doing their best to
Page 5
make this area the special place it is. So, now, though I’m saying “goodbye,” I’m also saying “hello.” Reporting and editing stories doesn’t fit into a predictable work day so too often writing and editing the news becomes all-consuming. There’s always a story out there to be discovered and covered. The result is that I’ve had less time than I wanted to be personally involved in the community. I’ve done some volunteering, of course. I’ve been on the board of what is now Leadership Eastside. And I served on and been president of the Eastside board of United Way. And somehow I’ve managed to donate 100 units of blood or plasma to the Puget
Sound Blood Center (it’s now called Bloodworks — pretty apt, I think). That last feat is due to their continuing to call me to donate and me having the good sense to say “yes.” With more time, I hope to find more ways to help out in the community. I still have that need to make the world a better place. Let me know if you have some ideas. I should have some time to spare. I won’t be in the office, of course. But you can contact me at c.groshart@ comcast.net. It’s been an honor and a privilege to be part of your lives. Craig Groshart can be contacted after today at cgroshart@comcast.net.

reforms before full fund needs to be resolved. The sentence Rep. Magendanz uses is taken from a section of the decision entitled “Funding the Basic Education Program with Local Levies.” The section consists of six paragraphs (150-155), all of which address the issue of reliance upon local levies in lieu of state funding. It defies logic

to suggest the focus of a sentence in the last paragraph of this section on funding is, instead, a reference to something entirely different. If Rep. Magendanz proposes to hold up full funding of basic education until he get some list of reforms accomplished, I’d appreciate it if he’d make clear that is his decision and/or the caucus’s decision. To pretend it’s something required by the state Supreme Court is simply not accurate.

Metropolitan Market slated to open 2016 Market to be located in downtown Sammamish along 228th Avenue corridor BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A Metropolitan Market, a full-service grocery store, looks to open in downtown Sammamish, on 228th Avenue across from Eastside Catholic School. The market will be located within The Village, a yet-to-be developed area that will include a walkable, dense, neighborhood oriented, mixed-use developments located on almost 6.5 acres within the zoning for the Sammamish Town Center. “We are extremely excited about coming to the Sammamish market,” Metropolitan Market CEO Todd Korman said during a Sammamish Chamber of Commerce meeting last week. This will be the seventh store to open in the greater Seattle area. The market will be between 17,000-48,000 square feet. It will employ more than 800 people when it opens at the end of 2016, Korman said. “We’ll buy all of our products straight from the source,” he said. The store contracts with 550 vendors from Washington and Oregon to insure high-quality products. Korman boasts the market will support various hot products, prepared in house, like freshly baked cookies, a seafood salad bar or pizza sold by the slice. He said the company had sent employees to different parts of the world to master the technique of cooking these various foods. The Metropolitan Market will be the anchor of The Village it’s constructed within, Principal of TRF Pacific LLC Tim Russell said.

An example of what the Metropolitan Market, and The Village, might look like from across 228th Avenue and East Main Street. TRF Pacific, the developer, is still in the process of working the city and finalizing design plans. The Village is slated to include 95,000 to 115,000 square feet of commercial space and from 120 to 159 multi-family housing units, according to TRF Pacific LLC’s development plan it submitted to the city. Ideally, multiple restaurants would occupy the commercial space, as well as a medical clinic, Russell said. Various trails and paths will allow people to easily make their way through The Village. There will be elevators so people can easily scale the hill the development will occupy. The Village plans to capture rainwater, which it will use to irrigate the landscaping. The Metropolitan Market’s front door will be located on the west side of the building, not facing 228th Avenue. The market’s park-
ing lot will also be tucked behind the building to minimize its view from the main corridor. There will be additional parking on top of the market’s roof. The Village will be constructed across the block, between Fourth Street and down to East Main Street. Megan Campbell:

The store is the 331st owned by Savers Inc., and the 200th in the United States. It’s the fourth in the company’s Eastside backyard. Savers’ corporate office is located in Bellevue and it had previously opened Value Village locations in Redmond, Kirkland and Woodinville. The company’s Savers stores — known as Value Village in the Pacific Northwest — are private for-profit thrift operations. However, each store partners with nonprofit organizations to provide financial support, typically through clothes donated to the nonprofit that Savers stores then buy up at a bulk rate. Value Village Issaquah is primarily partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound. Those funds will help Big Brothers Big Sisters pay for case managers and one-on-one mentors for kids at risk of dropping out of school, CEO Amy Mack said. “Every 26 seconds in this country, a child drops out of school,” she said. Value Village’s Issaquah store is also partnered with the Issaquah Schools Foundation, the Issaquah Food Bank, Eastside Baby Corner and Northwest Center. Daniel Nash:

Sixteen troops and 150 Girl Scouts from Issaquah/Sammamish service unit 440 met at Beaver Lake Middle School on Tuesday night for World Thinking Day. The annual event of the Girl Scouts of America is intended to promote a global perspective and action, based on the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals. The theme for World Thinking Day 2015 was “we can create peace through partnerships.” Each troop adopts a country to represent, study their culture, then swapped trinkets and snacks among each other. World Thinking Day at Beaver Lake was put on by Troop No. 40631.

to the city’s adaptive signal control technology concept of operations document dated November 2014. The current system is not capable of handling such fluctuations. The city’s total budget for the project is almost $670,000. It was granted $462,000 in federal funds, most of which are allocated for construction costs. City Public Works Director Laura Philpot said the city most likely will choose the lowest bidder, assuming they meet the city’s standards. Pioneer Cable Inc.’s bid was the lowest, of $509,737, out of the eight submitted, according to the public works department. The project is still within its first phase. Many project details and related data are outlined thoroughly in the city’s November 2014 operations document.
In the 228th Avenue corridor, the main stretch of Sammamish, the high traffic peak hours are between 7-8 a.m. and between 3-6 p.m. Depending on the time of day, northbound or southbound traffic dominate. There is more traffic moving southbound during the morning peak hours; northbound traffic dominates in the afternoon peak hours. “The one- to threesignal-cycle plans that are used cannot efficiently respond to the traffic variations during the day,” the city’s operations document stated. There are anywhere between 1,700 and 2,600 vehicles per hour in the morning peak hours. There are 1,780 vehicles per hour and 3,000 vehicles per hour between 5-6 p.m. Traffic is expected to increase as the city’s town center develops. There are many limitations the current system presents, like its inability to
recover efficiently after in unexpected incident, such as an accident or emergency vehicles stopping the regular flow of traffic. The adaptive technology would solve many of these issues, including reducing the city’s long-term maintenance costs. Some more complex things the system will be able to handle include running a left turn phase before and after opposing traffic is let through, the ability to separately monitor each lane and take action depending on the conditions measured in each lane and maximize the time a green light is held. Sammamish City Council will pick a contractor at the March 3 council meeting at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall. The city hopes to have the system installed by the end of summer, Philpot said.

Low interest rates push school bond refund BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In less than two weeks, the Issaquah School District will complete the final step of financing for its current capital projects campaign. On March 10, financial firm Piper Jaffray will sell its fourth and final issue of bonds for the sale approved by Issaquah, Sammamish and Renton voters in 2012. In a special election held in April of that year, voters approved more than $219 million in bonds to be sold to investors to finance repairs, upgrades, expansions and total rebuilds of a handful of school campuses, as well as athletic facilities districtwide. Apollo and Issaquah Valley elementary schools were rebuilt over spring and summer 2014; construction on Sunny Hills Elementary, Issaquah Middle School and Clark Elementary will commence this summer. The final bond issuance will consist of the sale of more than $54 million in new bonds. The district and Piper Jaffray are also looking at potentially refunding district bonds issued in 2007 and 2008. In investment parlance, refunded bonds are bonds with the principle cash amount held in escrow by the original debt issuer and are thus considered exceptionally stable investments by rating organizations. Refunding is used as a means to refinance debts to take advantage of interest rates that have lowered since the original bond issuance. “From an interest rate perspective, this is a very opportune time to be accessing capital markets,” Piper Jaffray Senior VP Trevor Carlson said, speaking to the school board Feb. 11. “The global situation in Europe and China slowing and things of that nature have driven interest rates down to very, very low levels.” Legally, bond refinancing can only financially benefit taxpayers. Repayment of the school district’s bonds has been funded through property tax levies on lands within its boundaries. Property owners would see savings of “basically a penny or two,” according to Carlson, per $1,000 of property value. However, the savings would be almost double the 5 percent threshold preferred by the district, Carlson said. The price of refund sales would depend on the market conditions for interest rates, but are estimated at more than $66 million on the 2007 bonds and $40 million on the 2008 bonds.

Both are excited for the building to add to the synergy, as Myer put it, of the town’s growing center. “It’s fitting well with the landscape,” Myer said. “We haven’t lost our views of Seattle from the plaza or the library.” Once built, the YMCA will contract through the city to run the facility and will be responsible for providing the equipment, furniture and fixtures. The Y contributed $5 million to construction costs.

The Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center’s gymnasiums are taking shape as crews began placing the roof Monday. The $33.8 million building, which sits behind the Sammamish Library, will be the first community gym or pool in Sammamish. “People always say we have so many lakes, but there wasn’t any place for their children to learn to swim,” said city project manager Sevda Baran.

Marvelous Mat Classic
Eastside Catholic's Iwicki nabs state title in 145-pound class BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A level headed demeanor has served Eastside Catholic Crusaders senior Matt Iwicki well throughout his high school wrestling career. The even-keeled Iwicki attained his ultimate goal, registering a convincing 5-1 victory against Bonney Lake's Avery Meyer in the Class 3A 145-pound championship match at the Mat Classic Class 3A state tournament on Feb. 21 at the Tacoma Dome. Iwicki took a 2-0 lead with 52 seconds left in the first round and built a commanding 5-0 lead at the conclusion of the second round. The outcome was never in doubt, which is exactly the way Iwicki likes it. "I usually try to wrestle conservatively and just be in control and not scare my coaches in any way," Iwicki said with a smile. "I really wanted to solidify the win and not let anything bad happen." Iwicki, who also won a state championship in the 120-pound division as a sophomore, was ecstatic to win his second state title in four years. "Being a two-time champion was the main part. It’s never really happened at my school before. It's been a great ride the whole way," Iwicki said. "I'm glad I was able to solidify it with a win at the end. That is the most rewarding part." Eastside Catholic head coach Dennis Reddinger said Iwicki is a super kid who was great to work with over the past four years. "Matt is intelligent, coachable, is such a great sportsman and has great character. It makes it easy to work with wrestlers like that because he works so hard. He sets an example for the other kids in the mat room of what you can obtain and what you can be if you really work at it and put your

Reddinger noted that Iwicki knew what he had to do this year. “He set his goals on the championship and that was it," Reddinger said. "His goal was to be undefeated and not give up any points all season long. He did give up a few points and he gave up one point (in the finals) out there, but he realized his goal of winning the championship. He gets to go out a winner."

Unfortunately, information on living better. they can lead to weight gain, insomnia, aches and pains or other issues that make life less than enjoyable. Stress and anxiety, as well as chronic pain cause some people to become dependent on sleeping pills or pain killers, to overeat, smoke, or abuse alcohol or drugs. Since all of us experience stress and anxiety, how can we ensure that these conditions don’t ruin our health and well being? One very effective method that can keep us healthy and well in both mind and body is hypnosis. Although often misunderstood, hypnosis is simply a state of focused attention that allows a person to better respond to suggestions. A hypnotherapist will guide the person to a relaxed state and have them focus their attention on specific thoughts or tasks. Hypnosis can help people change certain behaviors, such as smoking, drinking too much, or biting their nails, and can also help people change perceptions and sensations to alleviate stress, anxiety, fear, insomnia or pain. Hypnosis is increasingly being employed in mainstream medicine. Safe and effective, hypnosis has no adverse side effects and can be a great benefit for a wide range of issues.
