The citys election lineup is set, and while there are three City Council seats up for elec-tion, only one race includes more than one candidate.

John Drescher and Mark Greene will compete to fill the seat that will be vacated by retiring City Councilman Bill Erxleben. Incumbents John

Dulcich and Rich Crispo will both run unopposed to retain their positions.

Drescher and Greene will have booths at Newcastle Days to meet with voters ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.

The Newcastle City Council conducted its first discussion about recreational marijuana since the passage of Initiative 502, legalizing the drugs use for adults 21 and older, at its Aug. 20 meeting.

The City Council didnt say much on the sub-ject, though, preferring instead to take a wait-and-see approach as the Washington State Liquor Control Board continues to refine its rules for the marijuana industry.

However, based on the boards draft rules, Newcastle Community Development Director Tim McHarg identified three Newcastle properties that are zoned for general retail land uses, and as such, could be potential locations for recreational mari-juana facilities.

CNNs Money Magazine released its annual list of top places to live in the nation, and Newcastle checks in at No. 19.

Its not the first time that Newcastle made the list featuring Americas best small towns. The city most recently made the list in 2011 at No. 18.

The publication lauded the city as an ideal spot for city commuters who want to commune with the outdoors in their downtime.

The citys trails and close proximity to Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park were also high-lighted.

The survey looks at financial, housing, educa-tion and other quality-of-life factors when com-piling the list. Cities with populations between 10,000 and 50,000 are considered.

Newcastle is one of only two Washington cities to make the list. Mill Creek came in as the 36th-best place to live.

By Imelda DulcichNewcastle Chamber executive director

Steve Valach has been the head coach of the Liberty High School football program for 15 years.

Named KingCo 3A Coach of the year multi-ple times, Valach led four teams to playoff appear-ances 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2009, the Liberty football team placed second in state, the same year Valach was named the Seahawks Coach of the Year.

But for as much win-ning as Steve Valach does on the field, the Liberty community rec-ognizes that Valach offers so much more. He is a leader whose passion and dedication create an extraordinary community. When not coaching foot-ball, Valach also teaches English at Liberty.

Valachs accomplish-ments as a coach are not measured only by the scoreboard, but are more clearly seen in the integrity displayed by his teams in victory and defeat. Valach focuses on team accomplishment

and the importance of each individual effort on the whole. Valach has established a football program built not only to win football games, but also to teach young men to be excellent in all areas of their lives.

Valach teaches that water does not boil at 211 degrees but does at 212. That one degree of effort makes the difference. It is Valachs determination that his program produces young men who use the lessons of football to cre-ate a life direction and focus that goes far beyond

the field or the locker room.

Always a joy to see at football games are the special-needs students who are part of the Liberty team. Valach wel-comes the students as part of the Liberty football team, integrating them with his own team of coaches and allowing the students to be an impor-tant part of the commu-nity.

Valach creates lasting bonds that extend beyond the boys on the team and their families. He is a leader within the com-

munity. Whenever Valach

receives an award, he is quick to mention his fel-low coaches, the athletes on the team and the community as part of his success. But, those who know him realize that there really wouldnt be the same kind of team or community without Valach and his dedica-tion.


The Newcastle Historical Society is bringing the citys his-tory directly to residents, offering free presenta-tions about the citys past, and displaying pho-tos of important land-marks at the Newcastle Library throughout September.

The historical group will present three pro-grams that will give residents insight into the citys former coal pro-duction, the people that made up what was once the second largest town in the state and the story of the Newcastle Historic Cemetery.

People do have a genuine interest in this community and some of its past, said Russ Segner, president of the Newcastle Historical Society.

The first seminar is a

Sept. 5 discussion, The Coal Mines of Newcastle, led by Segner.

The coal mines were the reason Newcastle exists, Segner said. Well focus on the various mine structure locations and the railway that was built to serve the mine.

Mayor Rich Crispo will lead the next presenta-

tion, The Impact of Newcastle, on Sept. 19.

This presentation is a larger overview about Newcastles history, including a discussion about early residents and perhaps some anecdotes describing how they lived.

Vickie Baima Olson, who has ancestors that

worked in the Newcastle mines, will lead a discus-sion about the Newcastle Historic Cemetery Sept. 26.

Gone but Not Forgotten will explore the history of the ceme-tery and the pioneers that call it their final resting place.

The Newcastle Historical Society will also

provide a display of photo-graphs featuring the cem-etery and artifacts from Newcastle historian Milt Swansons personal collec-tion. The photographs can be found in the librarys meeting room during September.

Newcastle doesnt have much in the way of visible artifacts, Segner said. The only structures

are the Baima House and the cemetery. Were try-ing really hard to help people understand the significance of those fea-tures.

The Baima House is the last remaining build-ing associated with Newcastles early mining history. It is among the oldest buildings in King County.

Why dont schools use universal plans to build?

I read the headline, Renton unveils new middle school designs, in the Aug. 2 newspa-per and thought, What a waste of money.

The state of Washington, if it did nothing else, should have well-designed plans already avail-able for school districts to use; this could represent a huge reduc-tion in the cost of new schools. These universal plans would be modified for a site and could also include any improvements learned from the previous construction

and use of the same plan.When so little of the school

revenues actually make it into the classroom to benefit stu-dents, it seems a terrible waste of money to pay architectural fees to build new AND different schools each AND every time one is built. This is such a no brainer, but so much of govern-ment waste is.

Theres no cleaning fairy pick up after yourself

Do you believe in a clean-

ing fairy that visits Newcastle at night? Newcastle was just rated a great city to live in by CNN Money, so shouldnt we at least try to continue living up to that standard?

After going on a walk with my dog at Lake Boren Park recently one evening, I was disgusted at what I saw. I couldnt believe my eyes! Garbage was absolutely everywhere. What happened to community responsibility? Manners? Common decency?

Newcastle is our city, our home treat it that way!

What Newcastle Days activity are you most looking forward to?A. Seeing Alan White performb. The 3-on-3 basketball tournamentc. The pay-for-play aread. The beer and wine gardenVote at www.newcastle-news.com.

Poll question

Newcastle Days will look a bit different this year, add-ing a pay-for-play area and doing away with the car show, but at its heart, it is still the same annual festival that cel-ebrates the best of the city.

While youre at Lake Boren Park listening to Alan White rock out on the drums, or relaxing in the Newcastle Chamber of Commerces beer and wine garden, take a moment to recognize the people that made this event come together.

Through the tireless work of event co-chairs Mayor Rich Crispo and Diane Lewis, along with the steady help of members of the Community Activities Commission, the 2013 Newcastle Days will likely be the best yet.

Newcastle Days is the first major undertaking of the new activities commissioners, and early returns show that the restructuring of the councils advisory board has been beneficial. The commission has been through a lot this year, including a significant turnover in membership and a rebranding of duties with an added emphasis on com-munity events.

It could not have been easy welcoming three new com-missioners in such a short time, and then subsequently being tasked with coordinating the citys premier event, but it appears that the members accepted the challenge and worked together to plan a great event.

The Community Activities Commission has come a long way in what has been, at times, a turbulent year.

Make no mistake, there is still work to be done. Members of the volunteer board meet only once a month, and they would do well to spend more time together to more clearly establish the commissions goals and develop a more united front. The commissioners took the initia-tive to get that ball rolling at its August meeting, schedul-ing an October retreat to better organize themselves.

Kudos to commissioners Lewis, Angela Ursino, Craig Belcher, Jesse Tam, Linda Newing, Russ Segner and Jim Price. Heres to another great Newcastle Days with even greater expectations in the years ahead.

As I listened to Robin Callahan, the executive direc-tor of the Issaquah Schools Foundation, speak at the Aug. 14 Newcastle Chamber of Commerce luncheon, one thing in particular stood out.

Callahan explained that the picture of post-secondary educa-tion does not have to look the same for every student. Going to a four-year university is not the only option. There are also career, technical and communi-ty colleges that may better suit a students needs.

Trustees of the newly-formed Bellevue Bulldogs junior college football team would undoubtedly agree with that sentiment.

The team gives young athletes who likely did not obtain scholarships to a four-year college, or had academic issues that prevented them from going to a university, a second chance on the grid-iron. While playing for the Bulldogs, players must

take at least five credits of junior college course-work.

Several of the teams more than 45 players sought work straight out of high school, rather than continue their education, head coach Kevin Bouwman said.

This is getting them back into school, he said. Theyre kind of seeing that Yeah, I can do this. I can go to school and continue my career.

The Bulldogs represent something extremely meaningful to these players, including Hazen High School graduate Reggie Havard and Liberty High School graduate Dalton Darlington. It is their second chance.

It is their chance to rekindle that special feel-ing that comes when stands are packed with fans on Friday nights; it is an opportunity to play the sport they love in front of family and friends; and most of all, it is an avenue for them to pursue higher education.

It doesnt happen every day that a football team like this comes into this community, Darlington said. Thats something special.

The need for an opportunity like this is so great that Bouwman said he receives daily inquiries from interested players. Participation is high, but the need for monetary contributions to get the first-year team going is even higher.

After nearly two years of work to construct the newest segment of the Newcastle trail system, the city will officially debut the new east por-tion of the May Creek trail at a Sept. 15 cer-emony.

Newcastle Trails, in particular treasurer Peggy Price, Weed Warriors and almost a dozen Eagle Scouts, in conjunction with the city, devoted hours to construct the trail that meanders down a hillside to May Creek itself.

It wasnt a real easy trail to put it in, Weed Warriors President Grace Stiller said.

Stiller cited the work it took for Price and Newcastle Trails members

to initially scout the hill-side and find the best loca-tions to forge a trail. They went through difficult brush and bees to make it happen.

Several young men helped construct the trail as a part of their Eagle Scout projects, bringing along fellow Scouts and parents to get the job

done. Newcastle-based Troop 499 also spent countless hours working on the trail.

Without the Scouts, it wouldnt be anywhere near where it is, Price said.

The same could be said of Price, who lives and breathes building trails, Stiller said, crediting the Newcastle Trails treasurer with the bulk of the work to make the May Creek trail possible.

Shes really tenacious and its because of Peggy that trail got put in, Stiller said.

City officials and mem-bers of the groups that worked on the trail will gather for the ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 15. The ceremony will begin with some short speeches, before participants can feast on cake and explore the trail.

It adds one of the most picturesque trails to the Newcastle trail system, Stiller said. Its great for the walkers, naturalists and those that just want to commune with nature.

Mercer Island City Councilwoman Tana Senn emerged as the frontrunner among three possible replace-ments to fill the 41st District state represen-tative seat vacated by Marcie Maxwell.

Maxwell, a Democrat, resigned her seat July 9 to take a job with the governors office. To fill the seat, members of her party nominated three candidates to replace her and presented those nominations to the King County Council.

The 41st district stretches from the north-ern parts of Renton to the southern parts of Sammamish, encompass-ing Mercer Island and Newcastle, and parts of Issaquah and Bellevue.

After three rounds of voting Aug. 21, the 41st District Democrats nomi-nated Senn, David Ellis, a former field director with Washington United for Marriage, and busi-nessman and civil rights advocate George Pieper.

The three candi-dates will now sit for interviews with the County Council in early September, before the council appoints one of them to fill the vacancy.

Senn received the majority of the votes, and even received the support of fellow candi-dates Ellis and Pieper as the nominee to fill the vacancy, 41st District Democrats Chairwoman Karol Brown said.

If Senn wins the appointment, all three of the lawmakers from the 41st District the others are Sen. Steve Litzow (R) and Rep. Judy Clibborn (D) will be from Mercer Island.

Appointed to the Mercer Island City Council in 2012, Senn

spent most of her career on nonprofit marketing and government rela-tions.

If selected for the 41st District seat, Senn has plans to run for the position in 2014, according to responses from her candidate questionnaire.

She identified the need to fully fund pub-lic education, the cre-ation of a transportation package that fully funds the 520 bridge without relying on Interstate 90 tolls and increasing public safety as the top three issues facing the district.

Ellis, a 2006 graduate of Mercer Island High School, owns a voiceover company.

In 2012, he worked as a field director for Washington United for Marriage, a group that supported the gay mar-riage referendum. He has also worked on cam-paigns with the Sierra Club, Environment Washington and the Washington Public Interest Research Group.

Ellis identified fully funding education, pro-tecting the environment and gun safety as the districts most important issues.

Pieper lives in Bellevue, but his com-pany, OutSmart Office Solutions, is based in Mercer Island.

He has served on the King County Civil Rights Commission and pre-sided over the statewide Washington Stonewall Democrats and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus.

Transportation, educa-tion and growth man-agement and economic development are the most important issues facing the jurisdiction, according to Pieper.

41st District Democrats select candidates to replace Marcie Maxwell

City looks to fill commission vacancy

The city of Newcastle is looking for a volunteer to serve on the Community Activities Commission, after current commission-er Craig Belcher resigned from his post.

Seven Newcastle residents serve on the commission, facilitating events and programs in the city.

Applicants must be Newcastle residents, at least 18 years of age and have an interest in com-munity events, city parks and recreational programs. Mayor Rich Crispo said he would like to see more young people on the citys volunteer commissions.

Applications are reviewed by the mayor who recommends appointments to the full City Council for their approval. If selected, new members will be appoint-ed for a four-year term.

Interested parties should submit a letter of interest and applica-tion in person or mail to Newcastle City Hall, 12835 Newcastle Way, Suite 200. Prospective commissioners can also email the materials to the city clerk at cityclerk@

ci.newcastle.wa.us.The applications are

posted on the city website at www.ci.newcastle.wa.us and are due by 5 p.m. Sept. 10.

Bellevue FD receives re-accreditation

Bellevue Fire Chief Michael Eisner and Battalion Chief Bruce Kroon accepted the fire departments re-accredita-tion at the International Association of Fire Chiefs conference held in Chicago.

The city of Newcastle contracts with the Bellevue Fire Department for its fire services.

Accreditation is an essential tool for improv-ing upon the high level of performance estab-lished by the Bellevue Fire Department, Bellevues Acting-City Manager Brad Miyake said. It ensures that the public is getting great value for their tax dollars in the form of quality services.

Bellevue Fire was first accredited in 1998 and, at the time, was one of only eight departments in the nation to receive the pres-tigious recognition.

The Center for Public Safety Excellences

Accreditation Program reflects a comprehensive self-assessment and evalu-ation model that enables fire and emergency ser-vice organizations to examine their service levels and performance in a way that allows them to compare to industry best practices.

Annual town hall set for October

The city of Newcastle will host its annual town hall meeting in October, though a specific date had not yet been estab-lished at press time. One date under consideration is Oct. 3.

As in the past, the event will be held at The Golf Club at Newcastle, and residents will get the chance to provide feed-back to city staff and City Council members about a number of issues.

While the nights agenda has not yet been finalized, residents should expect the citys budget, plans for a Lake Boren Park revitalization project and the development of the Mutual Materials site to be topics of discussion.

More than 100 resi-dents attended last years town hall meeting.

Randy Ohlendorf, Treasurer

The boards rules call for a 1,000-foot separation between a marijuana pro-duction, processing and/or retail facility and land uses such as parks, elementary schools and transit cen-ters.

In the citys downtown corridor, the Newcastle Library, and Bellevues Coal Creek Park severely limit the areas where a potential marijuana retail-er could go, McHarg said.

The Coal Creek Utility District building on 132nd Avenue Southeast and the Hansen Moving and Storage building on Coal Creek Parkway are the only downtown parcels that would fit the 1,000-foot separation criteria.

The likelihood of us having retail sales on those two parcels in the city of Newcastle is slim to none, City Manager Rob Wyman said at the meet-ing.

Development of the Mutual Materials site could make the downtown corridor even more restric-tive for marijuana retail-ers, if it includes any sort

of park, and it likely will, potentially wiping away even the two listed par-cels, McHarg said.

It could become even more restrictive, he said. It wont become any less restrictive.

The third potential location is outside the citys downtown corri-dor on Lake Washington Boulevard Southeast, where the Shell gas and service station currently stands.

Councilman Bill Erxleben was the most vocal of the council members, saying he pre-ferred an outright ban on marijuana within the Newcastle city limits.

Truth of the matter is the state of Washington is violating federal law, and any city municipality that participates in that is part of a conspiracy to violate federal law, period, he said.

He also suggested bring-ing up the matter before the community, at the citys annual town hall meeting in October.

Im absolutely con-vinced 90 percent of the folks in this town would like to have none of this stuff in this town, he said.

A moratorium on

recreational marijuana licenses is one avenue that could be considered, City Attorney Dawn Reitan said. Cities like Olympia and Sammamish have enacted a moratorium, and the city of Issaquah is currently considering one, as the Liquor Control Board continues to work on establishing permitting rules.

For my recommenda-tion, if you are looking at an end result be it do nothing or ban, a very conservative approach to the end result would be a moratorium, she said.

The City Council decided against taking any action at the Aug. 20 meeting. Deputy Mayor Lisa Jensen noted that the city has time to con-sider its options since the boards rules are not expected to become effec-tive until November.

ing on the Planning Commission.

In his role on the all-volunteer Planning Commission, where he has served as the chair-man since August 2012, he received an education about how the city func-tions, he said.

Ive enjoyed serving in that role and when the open council seat became available, I looked into it, and it seemed like a logical next step to take in serv-ing my community, he said.

Drescher praised the current City Councils work to strengthen city finances over the years, and said he hoped to continue that tradition through efficient budget-ing and wise stewardship of tax dollars.

Ensuring the city is financially secure so its able to properly provide for public safety, maintain and improve roads and infrastructure, and con-tinue to foster the devel-opment of parks, trails, and pedestrian and bicycle access is critical, Drescher said.

I think those are important aspects of what makes Newcastle a great place to live, but all of that costs money and Im not naive, he said. Were doing fine, but we dont have money to burn, so in order to have the money for those priorities you need to be smart about how you budget.

Drescher said he believes his voice would fit well with the City Council, with his ability to express his own principles while cultivating an atmo-sphere that allows every-one to be heard.

I certainly have strong

points of view, but I also believe firmly in the power of compromise, he said. Theres always room, especially in the City Council atmosphere, for a healthy compro-mise that serves everyone well.

Drescher, who also said he supports a push to get Newcastle its own ZIP code, is the execu-tive director of TechNet Northwest, a bi-partisan technology trade group that supports the innova-tion economy.

He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and holds a masters degree from Northwestern University.

I come with a perspec-tive that City Council folks really are the servants of the people, he said. I feel that if Im elected it will be an honor, and it will be an opportunity to serve and give back.

Mark GreeneMark Greene has lived

in downtown Newcastle since 2005, and he is no stranger to running for public office.

He most recently ran for King County elections director in 2011 losing to Sherril Huff, after unsuc-cessfully running for King County Council in 2009, failing to advance past the primary.

Greene ran for Newcastle City Council in 2007, but lost in the primary election to incum-bent Sonny Putter and challenger Russ Segner.

He is throwing his hat into the ring once again, citing environmental issues and his intent to keep Newcastle its own city as his top priorities.

If elected, Greene said he plans to implement a special environmental enhancement project that will map the citys infrastructure problems, try to make contingency plans for possible natural

disasters and come up with basic green ideals to improve the environment.

Although I realize that one little town like Newcastle is not going to have much of an impact, I think everybody should do their part, no mat-ter how small it may seem, he said, referring to issues such as global warming.

The environmen-tal project would fall under the purview of the Community Activities Commission, he said.

Greene said he is also intent on making sure Newcastle remains its own city, ensuring it doesnt join Bellevue as City Councilman Bill Erxleben explored almost a year ago.

I am somebody who has unequivocally stated that I will never vote for Newcastle to be merged with another city, he said.

The long-term finan-cial health of the city will be good, Greene said, as long as the City Council makes practical decisions regarding the spending of money.

Any city, no matter how big or small, cant have everything they want, he said. So, they have to just prioritize whats the most impor-tant thing and stay within those boundaries.

Greene said he would not spend so much on roads when it came time to prioritizing allocations for the citys budget.

I think we can spend less money on roads, if it comes to that, he said. I wouldnt mind cutting that in half if we have to.

Greene is an indepen-dent legal assistant, help-ing clients with rudimen-tary legal help, including taxes and wills, he said. He is also chairman of the Party of Commons, an organization that he describes as economically progressive and socially traditional.

He holds an associate in applied science degree from a state of Minnesota college, he said.

Recently I had my nails done for the first time ever, but because of a Midwestern grade school background that included lots of nuns, it was most likely a one-time event.

Ive long been a devo-tee of what I call Nun Nails: short, clean and unadorned, like those of my Catholic grade school teachers. My school-mates and I had innocent crushes on the young parish priests, but the nuns were regarded with an anxious mixture of fear, respect, fascination, fear and fear.

My holier-than-thou friends and I spent lots of time hanging around the church campus. Every Saturday wed ride our bikes to the rectory where we would spend all morning folding the Sunday bulletins, and after school on Monday we would be there again, tasked with opening the Sunday collection enve-

lopes and marking the weekly tithe in a massive leather-bound book that weighed almost as much as my Catholic guilt.

Some of the tidy black numbers listed there went back to the 1800s. We used a fountain pen for this vital task. No pencils, no white out, no messing up allowed. Only the very best students and biggest suck-ups were conscripted for the important job of caretaking the ledger, but Ill admit that we snickered at the measly buck fifty that the richest people in town bestowed upon the church week after week.

I liked the way that these good deeds made me feel, and the sparseness

and simplicity of the nuns and priests lives appealed to me as well: poverty, chastity and obedience, three squares a day, and no need to stand in front of the closet wondering what to wear.

So this explains my unpolished nails (and my penchant for comfortable shoes) and leads me to a confession, something that Catholics are partic-ularly good at: I wanted to be a nun. My best friend went to the novi-tiate right out of grade school, and as far as I know is still a nun today. And I ... well I went a different route, not as pious, not as poor, not as simple, but the nails are still the same.

With the simple placement of a crown upon her head, Newcastle resident Mandy Schendel embarked on a year-long reign as Miss Washington on July 7, 2012.

During that time, she visited schools, made speaking appearances and compet-ed for the Miss America title on national television.

It was so much, so fast and it basi-cally doesnt stop for 365 days, she said. It has been a very, very good year.

Exactly a year later, Schendels jour-ney came to an end when she passed the torch to Miss Washington 2013 Reina Almon, but the 2008 Hazen High School graduate reflected fondly on her year rep-resenting the state.

I think that I grew immensely just as a person more than anything, she said. I was grateful for the opportunity and really grateful to sort of let the process transform me.

The pinnacle of her year came Jan. 15 when she competed in the Miss America pageant in Las Vegas. As the semifinal-ists were announced, cutting down the field of 53 to just 15, it appeared that Schendels night was over.

But a surprise twist on the night gave new life to Schendels run in the competition, when judges were given the opportunity to add one more semi-finalist. The panel of judges, including Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney and dancer Cheryl Burke, chose Schendel.

It was neat to be the judges favor-ite just because it brought a little extra attention to the Miss Washington Scholarship Organization, she said.

It also brought a sense of added pres-sure that may not have been there had she advanced to the top 15 normally, Schendel said.

Nevertheless, Schendel made the most

of the opportunity, advancing through both the swimsuit and eveningwear portions of the show, on to the top 10, where she sang Rascal Flatts My Wish for her talent. Her night would end there, however.

It was a very fun way to go about being able to compete on national televi-sion, she said.

While the competition was undoubt-edly the experience of a lifetime, the aftermath and response on social media was difficult at times, Schendel said.

Schendel was inundated with negative commentary about her performance on websites such as Twitter and Instagram. Some even went so far as to accuse her of being a poor representation of the state.

Thats a very hard thing when youre dedicating your life, youre giving up work and school and everything else to do this, she said.

She did her best to block out the negativity, relying on her vast group of supporters, refusing to let the vitriol spoil her yearlong experience, Schendel said.

As much as she enjoyed competi-tion night, though, she said her favorite moment was a visit to Seattles Ronald McDonald House, which supports seri-ously ill children and their families.

Schendel met with families, and sang to kids, but one girl in particular made quite the impression on her. The girl, who had been in and out of hospitals for years, got to feel what it was like to be royalty when Schendel placed the Miss Washington crown on her head.

She said, Thank you so much for making me feel like a princess today, and I think that was just the most touch-ing moment, Schendel said. Theres nothing that I wanted more than to be

able to impact other people.After passing the crown to the new

Miss Washington, Schendel left for a well-deserved California vacation. She plans to return to school at Azusa Pacific University and obtain her degree in February.

Her long-term goal is to become a child advocacy lawyer.

I have spent my whole life working with the youth, and really trying my best to help them see their potential and what they can do, she said. Becoming an attorney allows me to make really tangible change and help people in a very positive way.

The longtime Newcastle resident has been vocal about her roots, often cor-recting people who said she was from Renton. In February, the Newcastle City Council presented Schendel with a proclamation recognizing her perfor-mance in the 2013 Miss America com-petition.

I love being a Newcastle resident, she said. Its great knowing that I can take my Yorkie on a walk and head over to the Coal Creek area and just really have a good time. Its a perfect place for spending time with the people that you love in a positive environment.

Newcastle will celebrate its 19th year as an incorporated city Sept. 7 with the annual Newcastle Days festival.

The daylong event at Lake Boren Park will look a bit different, though. The car show and many of the vendor tents have been scrapped, replaced by a large pay-for-play area featuring a climbing wall, obstacle course and more.

The celebration still has old favorites, includ-ing displays from Newcastle Trails and the Newcastle Historical Society, as well as the Newcastle Chamber of Commerces beer and wine garden.

Four music acts will perform at the festi-val, headlined by the band White, featuring Newcastle resident Alan White. Hairstorm, Seatown Rhythm and Blues Players, and the Ricky Venture Revue will also perform.

The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.Look for maps, articles and schedule informa-

At first glance, Alan White is just like any other Newcastle resident.

He enjoys walks at Lake Boren Park, attends city events such as Newcastle Days or Concerts in the Park, and even finds time to hit the links at The Golf Club at Newcastle from time to time.

What sets White apart from other residents, though, is the fact that he is a bona fide rock star, having played alongside industry legends, includ-ing John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker.

The legendary Yes drummer moved to the area in 1994, when it was still Renton. When the city incorporated just months later, it was a funny coin-cidence given that White grew up just outside of Newcastle, England.

Yeah, Im an original, he joked, referring to the fact that he spent his child-hood near the English city that inspired the name of his current town.

White began playing piano when he was just 6 years old. He was intro-duced to the drums at age 12 and just three months later, he was playing on stage with a band.

One of the many high-lights of his storied career came in 1969, when White received a call from John Lennon asking him to join the Plastic Ono Band. It was such a remarkable offer that White shrugged it off as a silly prank.

I thought it was a friend of mine joking with me, he said. So, I hung up on him, and then actu-ally, he called back.

At that point, White knew it was the real deal, and of course, he was not about to refuse a request from Lennon.

A day later, White was

aboard a plane to Toronto alongside Lennon, Yoko Ono and Eric Clapton. The result of the ensuing per-formance was the album, Live Peace in Toronto.

We hadnt even played together and we got on the plane and rehearsed a few songs, with me just playing drums on the back of a seat and then we went onstage right when we got there, he said.

White went on to play drums on Lennons Imagine album and Harrisons All Things Must Pass album.

In June 1972, White was invited to join the band Yes. He has been with the band ever since, and continues to tour to this day.

Ive been with Yes more than half of my life, he said. I actually just got back from being on the road for six weeks. Im a little road worn, but its a lot of fun.

The next gig for White is Newcastle Days with his band White. The band has played Newcastle Days before, but there is always something special about playing in Newcastle, White said.

The band will perform music from its 2006 debut album White, as well as classic Yes songs.

Im looking forward to it, he said. My band loves to play and its good to do something for the city.

in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and

cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the

amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to

half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child = 14

For most high school football athletes, their career on the gridiron ends when the last of the Friday night lights flicker to darkness.

Some go on to play the sport at the collegiate level and beyond, but that isnt an option for the major-ity. The itch to get on the field, tackle an opponent and be a part of a unique brotherhood is not easily tossed aside, though.

The Bellevue Bulldogs junior college football team hopes to provide the relief to that itch, and encourage athletes to remain in school while

continuing their career.The biggest issue is

that when an individual gets out of high school, and maybe doesnt have the grades or a scholar-ship to get into a four-year school, there was nothing in this area for him to play football, until now, said Larry Rude, a Newcastle-area financial adviser and Bellevue Bulldogs trustee.

Led by head coach Kevin Bouwman, the first-year team features local players from various com-munity colleges. It will compete in the Northwest Junior College Football League, playing against

No one was unluckier than the Liberty Patriots football team last year. An already thin-in-numbers squad was hit with injury after injury in 2012.

As the injuries piled up, so too did the losses in a tough KingCo 3A/2A Conference, on the way to a 3-7 record.

Luckily, things are already looking up for the Patriots as they prepare for the 2013 campaign with a much larger turnout than last year, which should help with depth, longtime Liberty coach Steve Valach said.

We have about 25 more kids than last year, he said.

The theme of the Patriots offseason was Football is back, focus-ing on the idea that Liberty wants to get back to its winning roots.

Weve got a great tradi-tion here that goes back to long before I was here and we just want to reclaim that, Valach said.

The Patriots havent been to the playoffs since the Liberty seniors were freshman, said returning cornerback Colin Larson,

and all of the players are itching to get back.

The road to the post-season began with summer workouts, which looked a bit different this year led by a personal trainer, Larson said.

He brought out the best in all of us and made us all work our hardest, which was, I think, some-thing that helped char-acterize our team for this coming season, he said.

The Hazen High School football teams 2012 sea-son was a mostly up-and-down affair, resulting in a 5-5 record, but the team put together one of their most complete efforts in the final playoff loss to Ferndale.

The Highlanders are trying to capture that moment in a bottle for 2013, building on the positives that came with that game, Hazen head coach Drew Oliver said.

We felt good coming out of that Ferndale game that we played our best game, he said. We fin-

ished like we should.A lot of times last sea-

son, the Highlanders just couldnt get out of their own way, failing to put together four quarters of even play, Oliver said. Thats why the teams 2013 motto, Chasing Perfection Daily, keys on the idea of consistency.

Inspired by a speech Seattle Seahawks coach Tom Cable gave at the Highlanders end-of-the-year banquet last season, the motto represents doing the little things to reach perfection, whether its on the field, at home or in the classroom, on a daily basis.

The idea of having that mindset and working to do that every day indi-vidually is going to make our team better, Oliver said.

This years team is all about opportunity, Oliver said, after the Highlanders saw more than 15 seniors graduate. Combined with a relatively small 2014 senior class, Hazens team will be young.

Theres a lot of oppor-tunity for kids to step up and fill some roles, he said.

by an effort to persevere on the gridiron, in the classroom and in life in general, said Kasper Lui Delange, a Patriot receiv-er and defensive back.

Its a lifestyle, he said. Stuff is going to go wrong and stuff is going to go right, it doesnt matter, but youre going to fight no matter what.

Libertys strength will be in its skill posi-tions, Valach said, led by running back Russell Boston, who burst onto the scene as a sopho-more for the Patriots last year.

The soft-spoken junior is one of three returning Patriots who earned all-league honor-able mention last season. He was also named a captain this year.

Russell Boston is a really fine athlete, but hes an even better young man, Valach said.

Just two practices into the season, the Patriots quarterback situation was not yet settled, Valach said, but the sta-bility at the center posi-tion, with returning line-man Nate Jarvis, should help ease the transition.

Jarvis, a junior, and senior Sam Dodt, a run-ning back and safety, both received all-league honorable mention hon-ors last season and will

look to continue that success into 2013.

Whats great is that we have a lot of guys that have a lot of varsity experience, and theyre still young, Valach said.

Several Liberty athletes that excel at other sports will look to make a name for themselves on the gridiron this season.

Lorin Archibald, who stars on the baseball dia-mond for the Patriots, will play tight end and defensive end this year.

Last year was his first year playing football and its starting to click with

him, Valach said of Archibald.

Quinn Magendanz, a Liberty soccer standout, and Romney Noel, a wrestling and track star returning from injury, are also expected to con-tribute this year, Valach said.

With the school in the midst of a major construction overhaul, the Patriots had to do without a locker room as practices began, but it didnt affect the team, Valach said. Theyre just preparing for the season as usual.

is made up through its work ethic, one of the best hes seen in his time at Hazen, Oliver said. Attendance at offseason workouts was at an all-time high.

They really were committed to the weight rooms and being there in the summer, he said.

One of the leaders of those offseason workouts was junior quarterback Nolan Hoover. Hoover, who is also a standout on the Hazen swim team, is tasked with replacing Highlander quarterback Tony Nipert, who graduated.

Its his time now, Oliver said of Hoover. Hes going to be a

junior, but hes prepared himself. Hes got some special qualities there as a leader, and thats what you want in a quarter-back.

Hoover said he and his teammates spent their summer in the weight room and on the field, practicing their route running and devel-oping chemistry in the passing game.

The attitude on our team has taken a step up. Its on another level, than it was last year, he said. Everyones bought in.

Hazens strength will be in its skill positions, where all-league per-formers return in senior running back Joe Glaefke and talented junior defensive back Marquise Lee.

Marquise is a pretty special athlete, Oliver

said. Hes really starting to grow in his maturity for the game and his knowledge of the game.

Despite the relative youth on the offensive and defensive lines, running back Glaefke said he thinks the Highlanders have the weapons to compete with the best in the Seamount.

Our major goal is to win Seamount League, which is something that we have the capability to do, he said.

Its a sentiment that his quarterback agrees with, targeting perfec-tion in every aspect of the game.

I dont see a rea-son why we cant win every game this season, Hoover said. Thats what I want to do. Thats what I want to accom-plish.

teams from across the state.Though the team car-

ries the mascot of Bellevue College, and most of its players attend the school, it is independent of the col-lege, Bouwman said.

We cant be involved with the schools. They just dont have the budget for it, for liability and all that, he said.

A second chance to playAfter graduating from

Hazen High School in 2011, Reggie Havard, a running back and defensive back, sought to continue his foot-ball career at Mendocino College in Ukiah, Calif., before returning home to play locally for the Bulldogs.

I went down there with some friends, and we got there and it was just too expensive, he said.

Several of the players have similar stories, often returning from an out-of-state school because of the cost. It is just another rea-son why a local option like the Bulldogs is necessary, Bouwman said.

This means every-thing, Havard said of the Bulldogs. It gives us another chance, that sec-ond chance.

Many of the players are young men who likely did not obtain scholarships to a four-year college, had academic issues that pre-vented them from going to a university or physically

matured at a different pace. The athletes range in age

from about 23 to fresh out of high school, like 2013 Liberty High School gradu-ate Dalton Darlington.

Darlington, a defensive lineman, managed to stay healthy during the Patriots unlucky run of injuries last season, but he wasnt ready to hang up his cleats after he graduated. He joined the Bulldogs after Liberty coach Steve Valach mentioned the opportunity.

Playing under the Friday night lights is just so cool at Liberty and I wanted to continue my football career if I possibly could, he said.

No kid is left behindThe goal of most of

these players is to play and get noticed by a four-year school willing to offer a scholarship, said Bouwman, who played college football himself, starting at lineback-er for Utah State University.

You ask any one of them and their aspira-tions are to go to that next level, he said. I will do everything I can to give them that opportunity.

The team includes play-ers from across the Puget Sound area, including Issaquah, Renton, Bellevue and Seattle. Athletes are required to take at least five credits of junior col-lege coursework to join the team, though Bouwman suggests they take more.

First and foremost, the goal is to get these guys in school, he said. I encour-age them to be taking a full load, 12 credits at least, so that if that opportunity to

go to the next level arises, theyre ready for it academ-ically, too.

As an independent team, the Bulldogs are solely responsible for their expens-es. That includes uniforms, field time, referees and prac-tice equipment, all amassing a tally of nearly $40,000 this season.

The Bulldogs officially began practicing in early August at Ringdall Middle School, the former site of Eastside Catholic High School, just outside of Newcastle. The field is rough, filled with ruts, but it is all the team can afford for now.

Were starting from scratch now, Rude said. The four trustees on the board have put in their own money to get this thing rolling, but were not really wealthy guys.

The team is looking for sponsors to help with the costs, and every little bit helps, Rude said. The team could also use volunteers, coaches and fans, he added.

We want to make sure no kid is left behind, he said.

The Bellevue Bulldogs were set to kick off their sea-son Aug. 31 against Kitsap Peninsula Junior College. Their first home game, held at Renton Memorial Stadium, is Sept. 22.

Voters in the Issaquah and Renton school districts are starting to see the results of the April 2012 bond mea-sures they approved more than a year ago.

About 70 percent of voters supported Issaquahs $219 million bond measure, while Rentons $97 million bond received the support of more than 60 percent.

Newcastle residents liv-ing in the Issaquah School District will see the results of the measure in major construction projects at Apollo Elementary School, Maywood Middle School and Liberty High School.

Those who live in the Renton School District will see the fruits of the mea-sure with the future mid-dle school in Newcastle.

Renton School DistrictAbout half of the

Renton districts $97 mil-lion bond will go toward the construction of a new middle school in Newcastle, set to open in 2016.

Thats three years down the road, but voters are already getting a sneak

peek at plans for the school with the unveiling of initial designs in July.

The two-story build-ing designed by NAC Architecture will occupy the 11-acre site of the Renton Academy, next to Hazelwood Elementary School.

I think the largest challenge we have is the size of the site, project manager Steve Shiver said. We had to design a build-ing that was as compact as possible.

The result was a two-story building with upper mezzanines and a cen-tral common area. Most

importantly, however, the construction of the new middle school will not affect the popular east baseball fields.

A major feature of the school will be its trans-parency, complete with windows in every class-room, Shiver said. Instead of walls, the school will utilize a lot of glass, pro-viding clear sightlines for students and staff.

That improves security and reduces bullying in the building, because staff can observe the circulation corridor areas in the build-ing from within the class-room, Shiver said.

The schematic designs are just the first step in the design process, offer-ing a general picture of the floor plan and area. NAC Architecture will now delve into the design development phase, which adds significantly more detail, accounting for fur-niture, finishes and class-room equipment.

Demolition of Renton Academy is set to begin in June 2014; construction will start in March 2015. The middle school is slat-ed to open in fall 2016.

Issaquah School DistrictWork is well underway

at many district schools on a variety of projects, some to increase student capacity and some to improve aging infrastruc-ture.

As part of Issaquahs bond measure, Apollo, built in 1970, was one of two elementary schools chosen to receive nearly $6.6 million each for mod-ernization efforts.

With the first day of the new school year quickly approaching Sept. 4, contractors and district officials are busily trying to ready the buildings for the arrival of teachers, stu-dents and parents.

Steve Crawford, the districts director of capital projects, said the projects at Issaquah Valley and Apollo are similar in scope and design. The district is using the same general contractor for both build-ings as a way to reduce time and cost.

As a safety measure, the principals offices at both schools are being moved to the front of the build-ings for better visual con-trol of whats going on, Crawford said.

Each building will have eight additional class-

To unite the Highlander community as the school opened, Brumbaugh decid-ed to take the initiative to pen the schools alma

mater, Green, Gold and Blue. It is now an impor-tant part of the Hazen culture, sung at the end of every graduation.

Brumbaugh said he wrote the alma mater ensuring that it had a timeless element, making it sound just as good today as it did 40 years ago.

No one asked me to do it, but I was just sitting at the piano one day, and I thought, this might help bring the group together, he said. The kids really seem to enjoy it.

rooms and more small-group instructional space in time for the start of the 2014-15 school year, removing the need for portable classrooms.

Its a lot to get done in the course of the summer so that were buttoned up and ready for kids to start school, Crawford said.

Apollo is seeing the results of continued growth in the East Renton Highlands area. The school has largely run out of space for students, Crawford said, and is a prime candidate for bond money.

In mid-August, the school was showing signs of ongoing construction. Floors were stripped in many areas, and in the rear of the building, the space for new classrooms was largely bare. Crews plan to block those areas at Apollo so people can pass safely during the school day.

In large part, theyre prefabricated walls, so when it comes time to set up, they just tilt them up and a lot happens in a short period of time, Crawford explained.

Heres a look at the status of other Issaquah district projects in the Newcastle area:

q At Liberty High, the second part of a three-phase expansion and modernization project is finishing. Many class-rooms were demolished over the summer, mean-ing students will start the new year with a total of 38 classrooms in 19 portables. Features to be completed by Sept. 4 include a new commons area, auxiliary gym, locker rooms and a science lab. The softball field will also get an upgrade with the addition of an artificial-turf infield.

q Maywood Middle was also the target of modern-ization and expansion. The $10.2 million project was completed in May and included $3.8 million for a new heating and air conditioning system. An artificial turf athletic field was also installed.

q Along with the high-dollar project at Apollo, the school received an additional $695,000 to convert its grass field to sand, replace corridor car-pets with rubber flooring, and install new carpeting in classrooms and offices.

When Harley Brumbaugh snaps his fingers to the beat of a song, it has the authori-tative click of a seasoned music instructor leading his students to success.

Its the exact same snap countless Renton School District students heard as Brumbaugh led music programs at McKnight Middle School, and established one at Hazen High School in the 1960s.

Today, Hazen High School is home to one of the best vocal music pro-grams in the state, but none of it would have happened if it werent for Brumbaugh, the man tasked with creating a music department at what was a brand new school in 1968.

I had to order all of the new things, man-age the budget and set up schedules, but we possessed this sort of pioneer spirit through it all, he said of his first year at Hazen.

Sitting in the North Bend home he shares with his wife Cathy, Brumbaugh reflected on his time as a Highlander.

It wasnt difficult to get the Hazen music pro-gram started, Brumbaugh said, since many of his pupils from McKnight continued to participate as they entered high school.

Right away, Hazen had a large pool of stu-dents interested in join-ing the vocal groups. Some football players even dropped the sport to be in the choir, with a little coaxing from Brumbaugh, of course.

Id say to them, Youre too chicken. It takes a man to stand up and sing. Anybody can take a ball and run down the field with the thing, he said, though he was an athlete himself when he was a student at

Mount Si High School.The schools vocal

groups found success quite early, when the Hazen Studio Singers were rated No. 1 in the state just a year after the school opened. The recognition earned them the opportunity to exclusively perform at the Washington Music Educators Convention in Yakima.

We had only been together for maybe three months because there was hardly any place for them to practice, Brumbaugh said.

Despite the ris-ing music programs, Brumbaugh remembered having to play second fiddle to Renton High School in the community and the press.

You know the say-ing, Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus? As a spinoff, I would say, Yes, Virginia, there is a Hazen high School, he said.

By Christina Corrales-ToyHarley Brumbaugh, who started Hazen High Schools music program, now lives in North Bend with his wife Cathy, but he still holds Highlander keepsakes, like the record his Hazen Studio Singers made as students.

Green, Gold and Blue, by Harley Brumbaugh

The greenwoods scent the dewy air where golden treasures lie,

Beneath the bonnie, bonnie blue in the land of Hazen High.

Whenere aroving far from thee to seek our fortunes due,

These golden hours the dearer be with the touch of green and blue.

So let there be no last farewell among the Highland Clan,

For Highland hearts will always dwell in the brotherhood of man.

So on our lips we seal our vow to be true to green, gold and blue.

Brumbaugh spent only two years at Hazen before he was recruited by Bellevue Community College to start its own music program, but the school still holds a special place in his heart. Its where he conducted his final formal concert in 2008.

The beauty of music is that everything else sort of teaches you how to think, he said. But in the arts, it teaches you how to feel and how to express that.
