Come the new year, Klahanie residents will finally be part of a city — and can expect some much-needed attention from King County in the interim. The Sammamish City Council voted Tuesday 6-1 to annex about 11,000 people into the city Jan. 1, 2016. This comes after the April special election, where Klahanie voters showed their support at the polls with an overwhelming majority, about 86 percent, in favor of annexation. In the meantime, King County officials have agreed to maintain the parks and roads, among other areas, through the end of the year, according to a letter the county sent City Manager Ben Yazici. This work is valued at $340,400. The county has committed to maintaining Klahanie Park, including irrigating, seeding
Malia Greening-Bechtel, a teacher and Olde Town resident, stood at the public comment podium before the Issaquah City Council Monday night. Next to her, looming large on the chamber’s projection screen, were a series of photos of pedestrian crosswalks along Northwest Newport Way, taken around 11:30 a.m. Going through each, she pointed out, one-by-one, where the yellow diamonds of the walkway signs were obscured by shadow and glare alike.
Greening-Bechtel switched over to a dashcam video showing how quickly crosswalk signs appear and pass at the posted speed limit of 40 mph. Then she finished with a video of a friend attempting to cross at Newport and Northwest Oakcrest Drive, the outlet for the Summerhill neighborhood. The woman waited at the corner while three cars passed without slowing. When she pressed the cross button, the visibility lights did not come on, which GreeningBechtel said was the case four times out of five. (Anecdotally, the Reporter visited and crossed the crosswalk for photos on June 29. The lights did not activate from either side of the road.) “As an avid cyclist, I’m usually quick to blame drivers in any situation,” she said. “But I attempted to take a driver’s perspective in this video and in these SEE NEWPORT, 6

Issaquah city councilors received their first raises since 2002 on July 1, a change made based on recommendations by an independent salary commission formed in May. From 2002 to June 30, 2015, councilors, the deputy council president and the council president were paid $700, $750 and $800 per month, respectively. They are now paid $1,250, $1,350 and $1,450 per month. Commission Chair Bernadette Anne presented the recommendations to city council Monday night.
She noted that in addition to being the fourthlowest paid city council of 21 the commission studied, Issaquah councilors were not taking advantage of expense reimbursements available to them for costs like mileage. “We did feel increases were in the long-term best interest of the city and its citizens,” Anne said. Councilman Joshua Schaer said he believed the foregoing of expense reimbursement was an “unspoken, unsought” policy that he hoped future councilors would perpetuate.

Issaquah looks to ST3 BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park, state parks officials and state and city lawmakers held an open house for the park’s newly constructed Sunset Beach Bathhouse Tuesday night. The event unveiled the Washington State Parks system’s vision for 21st Century construction in parks and marked the end of a more than decade-long process to see the project to completion. “For me, this has been a personal experience,” said Peter Herzog, Washington State Parks and Recreation’s assistant director of parks development. “Working here as a young kid and, now, seeing this … come to fruition, it’s really amazing.” The building, designed by Patano Studio Architecture, is a roughly 3,000 square foot concrete structure curved to emulate the Sunset Beach shoreline and containing concessions, gendered and family bathrooms, a lifeguard station and a multipurpose “flex space.” Its roof contains rain

An open house for the new Sunset Bathhouse was held Tuesday evening. gardens that will grow over time and an array of photovoltaic cells to reduce the building’s energy costs by an estimated $3,500 per year. “Each day, this building makes enough energy to drive a Tesla from Seattle to Spokane,” architect Christopher Patano said. He added, with a laugh: “Just one way.” The structure is decorated with planks of redwood sourced from a Northern California dam. Exposed to the elements, the planks will age and create the appearance that the building has been in Lake Sam-
mamish State Park “forever,” Patano said, though the concrete shell will prove exceedingly durable. “(It) isn’t going anywhere, ever,” Patano said. The total cost of the project was $2.6 million, Herzog said. The Washington State Legislature only recently approved funding to staff lifeguards at the beach, though Herzog noted that if funding had not been approved, lifeguards would have been provided via partnership with the city of Issaquah. The city annexed Lake
Sammamish State Park into its boundaries in 2014, making the city responsible for the cost of law enforcement on the water and putting project permitting in its jurisdiction. Mayor Fred Butler said he hoped permitting would be able to be fast-tracked in the future. The bathhouse is already in service and Park Manager Richard Benson noted it was one of the building’s smaller features that seemed to be most popular. “The showers are what everybody loves about the place,” he said.
The Issaquah City Council on Monday ratified a joint interest statement that will be submitted by the cities of Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond regarding East Link light rail and other public transit under a ballot measure currently under development by Sound Transit. The bill passed Issaquah City Council 5-1. The measure, dubbed Sound Transit 3, would expand transit networks to accommodate a regional population expected to expand 30 percent by 2040. A finished measure could go before voters as early as November 2016. Particular to Issaquah, the statement asks Sound Transit to build light rail from Totem Lake to Issaquah by way of Bellevue within the ST3 timeline or, alternatively, to establish rapid bus transit. “I’m grateful we’re doing this,” Council President Paul Winterstein said. “The region has been and will continue to grow. The idea of creating a regional center — which we do have now in Issaquah — and connecting that to other regional centers, giving people today and tomorrow into future opportunities for travel that don’t involve single occupancy vehicles… our region is continuing to grow. We’re on a footing to manage that better than we ever have before.” Nina Milligan cast the sole dissenting vote against the joint interest statement, saying future rail construction would foster what she called “chronic commuterism.” “Regarding economics, as our citizens commute to jobs in other cities, say Bellevue or Seattle, we suffer a brain drain every morning.” Milligan said. “We don’t benefit from having these citizens as full-time members of our community and we send our economic engines to another city to benefit. I venture to say the vast majority of our citizens would rather stay in their home town.” Daniel Nash: 425-391-0363 ext. 5052; dnash@issaquahreporter.com

Council passes initiative, referendum resolution of intent ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Sammamish City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday to move forward with a resolution that states its intent to adopt citizenenacted initiative and referendum powers, with Deputy Mayor Kathy Huckabay and Councilmember Tom Odell voting against.
The limited powers allow residents to create or repeal laws within the city by way of petition. The council decided to put the matter up to the public in the April special election. That nonbinding advisory vote passed with 55 percent approval with a 24 percent voter turnout. Council will have the first reading of the ordinance at a July 14 special meeting. Council will take
City issues permit for southern section of East Lake Sammamish Trail BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The city of Sammamish issued a permit Tuesday that outlines “significant conditions” for work on the southern portion of the East Lake Sammamish Trail. Construction could begin as early as mid-October, according to the King County website. The city issued a shoreline substantial development permit. The permit stipulates that two sections, about 550 feet of the 1.3-
mile stretch from Southeast 43rd Way to Southeast 33rd Street, be narrowed to save approximately 63 significant trees and other vegetation. "Given the many goodfaith conversations we've had, I certainly hope the county will find the permit conditions reasonable and won't appeal the permit," City Manager Ben Yazici said in a press release. Another condition of the permit requires the county to either redesign or move a storm water vault to re-
action on the legislation July 21. There is a 90-day waiting period between publication of the resolution of intent, set to be published July 10, and the date the ordinance goes into effect. This state required waiting period allows time for a petition from the citizens to stop the ordinance. "That's just a provision of state law that oddly enough gives the citizens of Sammamish the ability
duce the impact to nearby residents. The county has already finished paving and widening the path to 12 feet with 3-foot shoulders on either side in the northern section of the trail, which opened last weekend. The northern section now sports guard rails, fencing, gates, trail shoulders and intersections. The county had been preparing to do the same to the southern segment of the trail, when the Sammamish City Council's involvement in the design process intensified earlier this year due to many citizens concerns regarding the county's 90 percent design plan. As a good-faith effort, the county released a 95 percent design plan in
to bring in a referendum within that 90 days to block the powers of initiative and referendum," City Attorney Michael Kenyon said. It is likely the powers would go into effect early October, Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard said. Megan Campbell: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com

“We’re not Bell, California,” Schaer said, referencing a suburb of Los Angeles made infamous for municipal corruption by a Los Angeles Times investigation. “We’re not giving ourselves a million bucks here.” However, Council President Paul Winterstein quickly rebutted that he was not aware of any such unspoken policy and that his own decision not to take reimbursements was a personal choice. Councilman Tola Marts said that, while money was not the main motivation to run for city council, he hoped the increased compensation would lead to more robust competition for seats in future elections. The Issaquah City Council had no role in the creation of the independent salary commission and had no say in accepting or rejecting the recommended salaries, city attorney Wayne Tanaka said.

It takes time
T
he population of the Puget Sound region is expected to grow by one million people between now and 2040. Sound Transit is looking ahead to be ready to move as many of those people as possible via rail. On its website, the agency is asking for public input to determine what kinds of service are needed next - and where. Why so soon? There is a lot of construction on light rail facilities still underway. Yet, planning for a regional light rail system or even expanding an existing system, takes a lot of time and money. And the first time around, it took a very long time. Decades. The seeds for commuter light rail in this region were first scattered in February of 1968 through what was known as the ’Forward Thrust’ transit proposal. The first Forward Thrust bond measure, dedicated to financing a $1.15 billion Seattle rapid rail and bus transit system failed to receive the required 60 percent super-majority vote. Instead, the all-bus Metro Transit was formed in 1972. Left aside, a regional light rail feasibility study was not completed until 1981. Studies continued through the 1980s on identifying routes and corridors and other factors. But it wasn’t until 1988 that King County voters approved an advisory measure calling for accelerated push to have rail service by the year 2000. But that was simply an advisory vote. Voters did not vote on actually funding construction until 1995, where the measure failed again with 46 percent yes and 53 percent no. Transit officials tried again the next year, where the measure was finally passed 56 yes to 43 voting no. So what happened between all those years? Dozens and dozens of studies were conducted. Meanwhile, bus-oriented travel became the mainstay for public transportation by default. Sound Transit 3, which will include light rail service to downtown Redmond and fast buses on I-405, is another chance to make a difference for our region. Let’s all weigh in. Get involved. Pay attention. Soon.
Planning for commuter rail began here in the 1960s...

Recently, the issue of light rail has been in the news as Sound Transit obtained public input on which of four routes they should select when extending light rail to Federal Way. I have two brief comments to make regarding this issue: 1. Sound Transit should have built this light rail system about 25-30 years ago (like San Francisco did with their Bay Area Rapid Transit system).

However, when it involves politics and obtaining funding to build it, Sound Transit (unfortunately) goes only three speeds: slow, slower and slowest. If I had to pick one of the three, I would pick the latter. 2. Last, but not least, when Sound Transit finally gets around to building it (if they ever do), a lot of senior citizens (like myself) won’t be around to take advantage of light rail (unless we live to a ripe old age and the odds are against that). There is plenty of blame to go around but my vote goes to the state government (and its leaders) for not having the foresight to start this project in the 1980s so it could have been built/completed in the 1990s.

Access to affordable birth control is essential Washington State has a reputation as a nationwide leader on things like access to abortion and birth control, but the truth is that there is still a lot of work to be done. Right now, fair access to affordable birth control does not exist and it’s going to get worse. It’s been proven that the types of birth control that work the best are methods like IUDs and implants. With an IUD or implant, you are set for years instead of having to take a pill every day. Increasing access to IUDs and implants does amazing things. In Colorado, an anonymous
donation made these methods available at free or reduced cost to anyone who wanted them. The results? Five years in, the teen birth rate has dropped by 40 percent. We should be able to do the same in Washington. Right now unfair treatment from Medicaid is making it harder for low-income women to get IUDs and implants, and that has to change. Gov. Jay Inslee and the legislature should do something about this problem and make sure that all women in Washington have equal access to the birth control method that they choose. Holly Quimby Seattle

and fertilizing, at an estimated cost of $40,000. Typically, the county stops irrigating the park during the summer as a cost-saving measure, Yazici said. County crews are expected to seal cracks, among other things, along Southeast Klahanie Boulevard. In places where the road is “completely failing,” Yazici said, the county is slated to do some deep patching. For example, warped pavement and sidewalks along 230th Place Southeast are set to be repaired. Roadwork on Klahanie Boulevard and 230th Place is estimated to cost $144,000. The county brought Klahanie storm drainage systems up to Sammamish codes, which cost approximately $51,400. Yazici listed several other projects, including 16 sections where the county will patch potholes throughout the roughly 2-square-mile triangle annexation area. Additionally, Yazici

reported that the King County Sheriff ’s Office agreed to fast track hiring the six extra officers needed. Four officers, one more than previously thought, will be ready by early January 2016, with the others joining the following two months. “This is a good deal for Klahanie residents. This is a good deal for Sammamish residents,” Yazici said. “I could not do some of the services the county agreed to do between now and January 2016. … I don’t have internal capacity.” Councilmember Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo, the lone opposition vote, wanted the July 31 annexation date. He said there was an “expectation” that residents would be able to vote in the November election; he also said annexing later would blunder an opportunity to collect close to $3 million in revenues from now until 2016. Yazici has said on several occasions that the city promised Klahanie residents two things: lower taxes, which they will get in 2016 regardless of an

earlier annexation date, and improved services. He denies any allegation that the city is trying to take the right to vote away from Klahanie residents; the November election has only recently come into play. Yazici also stressed the need for sensitivity, as a large portion the aforementioned revenues would be diverted from Fire District 10. About $750,000 in fire services paid to District 10 would be diverted to Sammamish had the council agreed to annex by the end of the month. As it is, the fire district is expected to lose $1.27 million annually in tax revenues, according to the Butkus Consulting Inc. financial report the city paid for last year. “District 10 is our partner, Council, in Eastside Fire & Rescue,” Yazici said. “We’re trying to take money away from District 10, who is desperately crying right now to say that ‘We cannot sustain in the long term due to this annexation.’” Annually, the city expects to collect about $6.5

Police believed the driver was trying to evade the authorities, as he never used turn signals and sped through residential areas. Once the boy parked off of Southeast 22nd Street, police made contact. The boy, who did not have a license or permission to borrow the car or be out of the house, turned over a bag of marijuana he had concealed in his shoe. The boy was not charged; he was released to his father on scene and it was then taken up as a “family matter.”

Summerhill resident Mary Lynch sent the Reporter video of a June 17, 2013 city council meeting, in which neighbor Hart Sugarman argued Newport’s 40 mph speed limit was inappropriate for a curvy, two-lane road with a then-new trailhead for the Big Tree Ridge hiking path. Sugarman told the Reporter he’s gone before the council multiple times over the years
to request traffic revisions. In the city of Issaquah’s Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program, most recently updated June 1, Northwest Newport Way west of State Route 900 is listed for a $13.6 million round of improvements to roadway capacity, transit support, sidewalks and other non-motorized vehicle paths. The project does not have a specified date. At Monday night’s meeting, Sugarman said the need for improvements had become immediate. “This incident has devastated the boy’s family, affected our entire community and will plague the woman driver from Klahanie for the rest of her life,” Sugarman said. He added later: “Tonight, this is not a request, this is a demand; a demand for action to be taken, so another life will not be lost.” The city announced Wednesday staff would undertake a review of city crosswalks with an independent expert. An as-yet unscheduled community meeting will take place in late July or early August. Daniel Nash: 425-391-0363 ext. 5052; dnash@issaquahreporter.com

Organic sub shop opens for Sammamish residents BY MEGAN CAMPBELL
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A new organic sandwich shop caught buzz this week among Sammamish residents eager for a quick
meal made from fresh ingredients plucked from local farms. Resident Daisy Steiner sat outside Homegrown, the sustainable sub shop, midmorning Tuesday.
Steiner and her friend giggled over an egg, avocado, cheese sandwich on glutenfree bread because the store manager had remembered their faces from the soft opening the day before.

Logan Krulish, 18, mans the cash register during the grand opening for the sustainable sandwich shop, Homegrown, Tuesday mid morning. The sub shop is located at 650 228th Ave. N.E. It operates daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
“It was so good yesterday, we decided to come back for breakfast,” Steiner said. This is the ninth Homegrown location since the business first opened in Seattle in 2009. The shop is located within the Sammamish Highlands shopping center in a small corner store off of 228th Avenue Northeast. Steiner, who has lived in Sammamish for 5 years, and friend Rachel Timmins, of Sammamish, had never eaten at a Homegrown before, as the closest location is in Redmond. “We had just heard so much about it,” Steiner said. “(Previously,) we had to go pretty far to get this fresh food.” Steiner wasn’t just talking about the other Eastside Homegrown locations. There aren’t a lot of onthe-go options that follow Sammamish residents’ generally environmentally conscious ideals, Homegrown co-owner Ben Friedman said. He and his business partner Brad Gillis, who were raised in Seattle and have been friends since kindergarten, set out several years ago to change the food

system in America. “We want to be certain there are no pesticides in our foods, no other additives,” Friedman said. In keeping with the local, sustainable vibe, the two opened Sprouting Farms in 2014 just 30 minutes from the flagship store in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. The small farm, located in Woodinville, provides USDA-certified organic produce for its store’s seasonal menus. Other local partners include a Seattle cheese provider, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese; a Woodburn allnatural chicken provider, Urbn Bruce; and the Seattle gluten-free cookie provider, WOW Baking Co. Friedman and Gillis consider the environmental impacts of every decision they make — from the materials used in their stores, to the
compostable packaging and the organic, antibiotic-, hormone- and cage-free items and ingredients picked from local farms. Sammamish Homegrown General Manager Dominic Tullio said the store was pretty busy early this week, with many people taking advantage of popular breakfast and lunch options. "You can't go wrong with a turkey, bacon, avocado (sub)," he said. For more information about Homegrown, including other locations and the menu, visit www.eathomegrown.com. The Sammamish store is located at 650 228th Ave. N.E. It operates daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Megan Campbell: 425-391-0363 ext. 5054; mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com

FOURTH ON THE PLATEAU
Friday, July 10, 2015
No tickets issued on the Fourth in Sammamish p.m. and midnight. There was also one domestic violence call, a car accident and one vandalism caused by a firework reported between that time period July 4. During the Tuesday Sammamish City Council meeting, council members gave kudos to residents for broadly obeying the law. Although, many councilmembers said residents on the lake, specifically Lake Sammamish and Pine Lake, lit off quite a show after the city-planned Fourth on the Plateau. “It is interesting to note that we did not receive any calls for fireworks on Pine Lake or Lake Sam-

Upwards of 10,000 people flocked to the Sammamish Commons for Independence Day fun, food and fireworks. While the event officially began with live music at 6 p.m., the fireworks didn’t burst overhead until 10 p.m. The city displayed an even bigger fireworks show than last year, despite ongoing construction to the Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center. The Sammamish City Council authorized $25,000 for the fireworks show in May. The fireworks were launched just north of the community center’s construction site. Free shuttles ran from the Upper Commons, located off of 228th Avenue Southeast, to the Lower Commons, off of 222nd Place Southeast, to transport people from one part of the property to another due to the trail closure.
While the Sammamish Police Department received nearly two dozen calls reporting illegal fireworks, which is punishable by a $1,000 fine, the department did not issue any tickets for illegal discharge over the Fourth of July weekend, Chief Nate Elledge said. “For the most part, people obeyed the fireworks ordinance this year,” he said in an email. “I think that people were a little more cautious this year given the increased fire danger.” The department received 19 calls July 4 between 9
mamish,” Elledge said. “We did respond to a fireworks complaint on Beaver Lake, but the officer arrived after the fact and was unable to determine who set off the fireworks.” Sammamish police have only issued a couple citations for fireworks over the past three years.

Big Rock Park bid rejected; city reopens process BY MEGAN CAMPBELL THE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The city of Sammamish rejected the $640,000 bid from Zemek Construction Company LLC to make improvements to Big Rock Park. This was the only bid submitted for the project. This bid is significantly higher, by more than $250,000, than the previous estimate, according to city documents. The Sammamish
City Council gave the city the go-ahead to deny the bid when it passed an agenda bill during its Tuesday regular meeting. In order to meet budgetary constraints and to reopen the process for lower bids, the city first has to reject the Zemek base bid, Sammamish Parks and Recreation Project Manager Kellye Hilde said. It will cost the city a few hundred dollars to advertise and bid the project a second time, according to city documents.

Spartans are looking to right the ship on the gridiron things tough on opposing teams’ defenses this fall. “The nice advantage we have with Rashaad at running back and Blake at quarterback is that teams are going to have to decide what they’re going to do,” Taylor said. “Are they going to load up in the box or are they going to make us run the ball and keep everything in front of them? It is a good problem to have.” Gregory simply doesn’t make mistakes with the ball in his hands. “His turnover last year was unbelievable,” Taylor said. “He only threw two interceptions and we only had five turnovers in 10 games with him at starting quarterback.” Gregory said being the signal caller in Taylor’s quarterback friendly offense is a blessing. “Coach Taylor does everything he can to put you in the right position,” Gregory said. “He is very trusting and wants you to do what you’re supposed to do which is not try to do too much and not trying to do too little. I think that played a big role in what happened with my season last year.” The quarterback can’t wait for the 2015 season opener against Issaquah on Sept. 5 in Sammamish. “I’m pumped,” he said. “It is definitely going to be a good one. We got them here finally at our house. I’m hoping the place will be packed.” Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@issaquahreporter.com

Gregory’s ability to take care of the football during the 2014 season, his first as a starting quarterback, impressed the Skyline coaching staff. Gregory started all 10 games for the Spartans and only tossed two interceptions in the process. The Spartans will host Issaquah on Sept. 5.

The press box at Skyline High School’s home field is a shrine to the football program. While walking toward the stadium it is impossible to miss the Spartans’ sign labeled “State Champions Football” on the backside of the press box facing the parking lot. The Spartans football program, which won state titles in 2000, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012, is known for its prolific squads. The 2014 team wasn’t up to par for the Spartans. Skyline finished with an overall record of 6-4 and were eliminated in a winner-to-state, loser-out playoff game courtesy of a 34-31 loss to the Skyview Storm on Nov. 7. The premature end to last season is something no player on the Spartans current roster has forgotten. Skyline starting quarterback Blake Gregory wouldn’t let his teammates forget it even if they had an inkling to do so. “Throughout the entire off-season it has been in the back of our minds,” Gregory said. “Guys have been reminding each other about what happened. That keeps us motivated and is definitely driving us a lot.” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said Gregory will be much more comfortable in his role as starting signal caller this fall. In 2014, it was his first season as the starting quarterback. “Blake is starting to be more vocal. I think as a junior you don’t always know where your role is as the starting quarterback. He has started to see that it’s his team,” Taylor said. “He is a tremendous young man he is going to be even better than he was last year.” Taylor pointed out that Gregory, who wears No. 4 like his idol Max Browne (USC quarterback), is totally committed to the football program. “Blake is a kid that had older brothers who were part of the football
program. He had an older brother who played on a state championship team. He wants to do that for himself and for the Skyline community,” Taylor said. Gregory said he’s enjoyed shouldering the leadership role during the spring practice sessions. “I just like getting everyone involved. We want to have great team spirit. That is a huge key. The spring practices have been definitely a little bit more intense than in past years. The guys have come out ready to play and compete. That’s great for our team,” Gregory said. Taylor said his team will take the positives and negatives from last season and move forward with aspirations of a phenomenal 19th football season at Skyline High School. “Last year we had a tremendous amount of adversity that we haven’t had in probably in five years combined. This is a new year. I think right now these kids are starting to identify what team 19 is going to look like. It will continue to evolve from today all the way to Sept. 5 when we play Issaquah in our season opener,” he said. “It’s not about Issaquah or Eastlake or whoever we are playing. It’s about us getting better.” The Spartans offense will be led by Gregory and stalwart starting running back Rashaad Boddie. Taylor said the dynamic duo will make

Crusaders aiming for second consecutive title BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Eastside Catholic Crusaders football team celebrates after defeating the Bellevue Wolverines 35-13 in the Class 3A state football championship game this past December at the Tacoma Dome. The Crusaders are looking to repeat as champs on the gridiron this fall.
Arguably the best player on the field during the Class 3A state championship game was one of the first players to emerge from the locker room onto the practice field during a spring football practice session at Eastside Catholic on June 18. Eastside Catholic Crusaders senior quarterback Harley Kirsch, who led his team to a 35-13 win in the Class 3A state championship tilt, threw passes to receivers and engaged with his teammates in gregarious manner 30 minutes before practice officially kicked off. Kirsch’s ability and willingness to lead is something Crusaders head coach Jeremy Thielbahr absolutely loves. “Harley has transformed our program into something that you can’t duplicate. I think having him do what he’s done and the way he leads our team is awe inspiring,” Thielbahr said. “I’m really excited for him this year. He has got a great future ahead of him.” The Crusaders may have won their first football state championship in school history seven months ago but that doesn’t mean they will rest on their laurels and slew of press clippings from last year’s magical run. “It is obviously a great position to be in but it is also a lot of pressure,” Kirsch said of defending the state title. “We have a great group of guys. I love playing with these guys and hopefully we can pull out one more state title. We will just give it our all on every single play then whatever happens will happen.” The Crusaders will open the 2015 season in the Honor Bowl in San Diego. Eastside Catholic will face Oceanside at 8 p.m. on Sept. 4 in a battle of two of the top teams on the West Coast. The Crusaders, who suffered a 35-21 loss against Trinity Christian in the inaugural Burger King Bowl Championship Series last December in Boca Raton, Florida, are excited about the opportunity to travel
once again for a high profile contest. The game will be broadcasted live on ESPNU. “Not a lot of teams get to play on ESPNU twice in back to back games. To be able to fly down to two different states to play football is awesome. We’re excited about the opportunity and know how lucky we are to be able to do this,” Kirsch said. Thielbahr said his squad hasn’t forgotten its loss against Trinity Christian on Dec. 27. “I think when you beat Bellevue you feel great but we still ended the season on a loss. We’re still very hungry and we got a lot to prove. We just want to continue to build the roots of this program,” Theilbahr said. The head coach admitted the Crusaders will look different from the 2014 team that won a state title. They return Kirsch, running back Brandon Wellington, receiver Matt Laris and tight end Devon Arbis-Jackson but lost a vast majority of their starters on both sides of the ball including lineman Alex Neale, Cody Baker, Deion Fetui-Crisostomo and middle linebacker Tony Masaniai. “We got some pieces in place but we lost a lot of great players. I’m excited to see how the freshmen, sophomores and juniors step into their new roles,” Theilbahr said. “The great thing about being a high school football coach is that every year is different. It is a great journey.” The Crusaders spring practice sessions are focused intensely on the fundamentals of the game. “High school football isn’t real complicated. We’ve got to be able to tackle, take the ball away and hold onto the ball. Right now we’re trying to get guys lined up, get their pad level right and make sure we continue to do the little things at a high level. We got a great culture and great community. Our kids love football and they love each other.” Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@issaquahreporter.com

Refuse To Abuse hese days, professional T sports teams are expected to publicly address domestic
and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case. In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans adopted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic violence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a domestic violence prevention campaign. The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.” Since that day, the two organizations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featuring prominent Mariners players speaking out against domestic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relationships. Having credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people. A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise money for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entirely at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ballpark, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages participants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so. For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. If you need another reason to feel good about cheering for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one. Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). Kelly Starr
