The success of my campaign is the resultof hundreds of volunteer hours from anumber of bright, dedicated residents. Iam truly grateful for the support of somany.A brief, heartfelt note of thanks toeveryone that shared their valuable time,energy, and money in support of mycampaign.Thank you, also, to everyone that votedfor me. If I am elected, I will strive torepresent you well through mycommitment to listening to your point ofview, setting clear priorities, and makingeffective decisions based on facts.Here’s to the future of our great city!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

In the face of past cuts, theLegislature allowed districts toput levy lid lifts before voters.Issaquah voters approved a lid liftallowing district schools to collectup to 28 percent of their overallbudget locally. That’s up from 24percent, Kuper said.

“That has been critical for us,”said Sara Niegowski, district exec-utive director of communica-tions, arguing the disappearanceof the money would be a majorblow.

Regarding levies, she arguedthe best outcome for Issaquahwould leave such funding stable.

The Lake Washington districtwas able to take advantage of thelegislature’s decision to raise the

cap on local levy dollars from 24percent to 28 percent of operat-ing budget last year to access anextra 10 cents per $1,000 ofassessed value worth of tax rev-enue that had been approved bylocal voters but capped by statelaw.

That money also went to makeup for state reductions in thesalaries of teachers, who agreedto work an extra two days inexchange for maintaining theirpay.

Depending on what happensin Olympia the next couplemonths, they may not make itout so easy in the 2012-2013school year. G

regoire indicated that shewould likely reduce the annualbonus of National Board-certifiedteachers from $5,000 to $4,000.

Also on the list of possible cutsis a 1 percent across-the-board

cut to teacher salaries as well ashigher contributions to healthcosts and changes to teacher pen-sions.

The Lake Washington districtmay have a little bit of additionalwiggle room as far as local taxdollars under the state levy lid –as much as $1 million dependingon enrollment and state fundinglevels.

Aside from that, Reith saidthere’s not a lot the district cando to raise revenue without goingback to voters – the district hasalready raised fees on athleticsand all-day Kindergarten inrecent years.

“We’ve pretty much done allthat we can with fees,” Reith said.“We’re supposed to be providing afree public education, so there’snot a whole lot of fees we canraise.”

Finally, Niegowski took issuewith what she said is Gregoire’sidea to slice a week off the schoolyear, calling the proposal a major

step backward in terms of educat-ing students.

All in all, according to theWashington State SchoolDirector’s Association, Gregoire’sproposals would eliminate a totalof $365 million in kindergartenthrough grade 12 funding.

Kevin Teeley, president of theLake Washington EducationAssociation, said he and otherteachers are “disappointed” thatso many education cuts areincluded on the governor’s list.

He said he’s hopeful thatGregoire will raise revenue byeliminating corporate tax breaks,particularly one given toMicrosoft.

A tax-break instituted in 1994to boost the budding high-techindustry remains in effect 17years later and has saved thecompany $104.5 million in salestaxes on facilities constructionover the years, according to theWashington State Department ofRevenue. Spokesman Mike

Gowrylow said those taxes aredeferred and will not have to bepaid as long the company keepsthose facilities open for eightyears.

Teeley said it would be ashame to continue to increaseclass sizes when WashingtonState already has one of thelargest student-to-teacher ratiosin the nation. At 19.3,Washington was 48th out of 50states in 2009, according to theNational Education Association.

“That’s the opposite directionof where we need to be going,”he said. “If we were somewherenear average that would be onething, but we’re not even close toaverage.”

Tom Granger, executivedirector of Habitat forHumanity of East KingCounty, said it’s too early totell exactly how many unitswould be included on theproperty and how they’d look.

Most Habitat developmentsare cottage housing or duplexes;the council is currently consid-ering code changes that wouldallow these sorts of develop-ments in city limits.

Granger said theSammamish project wouldlikely be similar to Habitatprojects in Snoqualmie,Carnation and the IssaquahHighlands, with plenty of vol-unteer opportunities. Habitatfamilies usually help buildtheir own homes, putting inso-called “sweat equity.”

“It will be a typical Habitatproject with Habitat partnerfamilies doing sweat equityand volunteers providingalmost 90 percent of the labor,”Granger wrote in an email.

The agreement calls for theagency to finalize a design planin 2012 and secure funding forthe project no later than 2013.Granger said construction islikely several years down theroad.

Howard said the projectwould not constitute a gift ofpublic funds because the prop-erty, valued at $467,000, isgoing to a nonprofit and thestate constitution allows citiesto use public resources for the“poor or infirm.”

City Council members contin-ued to grapple with how to diver-sify the types of housing avail-able in Sammamish withoutupsetting the character of exist-ing neighborhoods at a Nov. 1study session.

The council is consideringallowing up to 50 cottage housingunits to be constructed over thenext five years as a pilot project.Cottage housing developmentsare typically a group of smaller-scale single family homes clus-tered around a common area;several such developments havecropped up in neighboring citiesin recent years.

Simultaneously, the council isconsidering easing restrictions onduplexes and so-called “accessorydwelling units” like mother-in-

law apartments or other sec-ondary units that can be rentedout.

The code changes are aimed ataddressing the lack of housingoptions in a city consistingalmost entirely of traditional sin-gle-family housing. Proponentson the council say it would meanmore options for Sammamishresidents who wish to downsizebut want to stay in the city orthose with modest incomes, liketeachers or service sectoremployees.

“(Accessory dwelling units)could be rented to family mem-bers, like a grandparent or a sonjust out of college,” DeputyMayor Tom Odell said.

The code contains multipledesign and parking standardsaimed at ensuring any newdevelopments mesh with the rest

of the neighborhood.The council debated several

issues during the study session,including:

◆ Whether to allow smallerunits in all parts of the city. Theproposed code suggests allowingADUs and duplexes in R-4 zones,which includes most of the resi-dential neighborhoods in the city.Community DevelopmentDirector Kamuron Gurol notedthat homeowners associationscould disallow smaller units inspecific neighborhoods if theywere concerned about the addedtraffic or effect on neighborhoodcharacter.

◆ Whether to require that oneof the units of a duplex be occu-pied by the owner of the proper-ty. Some councilmembers were

◆ Whether to just allowduplexes on corner lots.Councilman John James said hefelt it would be easier to design aduplex that fits in with the sur-rounding neighborhood if duplex-es were on corner lots, with eachunit facing a different street.Councilman Mark Cross saideach circumstance is differentand it would be unwise toassume all corner lots are thesame.

OPINIONReview editorialSchools foundationsintegral to education

If there was ever a time to consider a donation tothe Issaquah or Lake Washington schools founda-tions, this is it.

The foundations are nonprofits that bring special-ized equipment and programs to schools in theirrespective districts to enhance basic education.

These days, basic education is more basic thanever as districts deal with state funding cuts to bothstaffing and programs. But never fear, the foundationis here.

The Issaquah foundation began its fall fundraisingcampaign a month ago, with a goal of securing$250,000 to support its programs, including its high-ly successful mentorship program that pairs stu-dents with adults. This campaign, All in for Kids,kicks into high gear next week when households inthe district will get phone calls asking for donations.But more than 900 donors didn’t wait for the call —and neither should you. Donations are already up to$164,000.

Earlier this year, The Issaquah SchoolsFoundation broke its own record, raising $593,000 atits annual spring luncheon. With that kind of givinglevel, the nonprofit foundation has become a foun-dation of the sturdiest kind for education.

The Issaquah Schools Foundation supports pro-grams such as after-school homework labs, a district-wide music program, science and technology pro-grams, enrichment grants, textbook purchases,expanded robotics clubs and more.

The Lake Washington Schools Foundation sup-ports similar endeavors in that school district. Thefoundation there has helped to fund programs toexpand literacy and math skills, and to help preparestudents for the jobs of the future. Lake Washingtonparents have been contributing, too. Communitymembers donated about $15,000 in response to aback to school request from the foundation.

The need for this important building block willnever end. Those who can give need no longer ques-tion whether the funds are well spent — the pro-grams are now essential.

Donate on line at www.issaquahschoolsfounda-tion.org.

While the Lake Washington Schools Foundationwon’t hold a similar fundraiser this fall — the willhold a Legacy for Learning luncheon in April — theycan always use support. Donate at www.lwsf.org.

We are the 52 percent

It is scary to look at the projectedpercentage expected in the Nov. 8election and feel comfortable withhow our democracy is actuallyworking.

King County’s elections directoris predicting a turnout of 52 percentin King County. Secretary of StateSam Reed is predicting 47 percentstatewide.

Taking the King County projected52 percent to numbers means about560,000 ballots will be returned inKing County. Hotly contested issueswould need only 280,000 +1 votesto win. Do the math likewise for thestate numbers, whatever they are.

By example: If liquor measure I-1183 is successful per the GoldenRule of Politics, “He who has thegold will rule,” (at $16 per vote theyhave the gold). Or, take I-1125,which is using a fuss over tolling todrastically limit all transportation inthe state to suit one major backer.

In both cases, we will havechanged state law with only a quar-ter of the voters having had their sayon the matter. I think it gets realscary when just a few thousand vot-ers can change state law, or do any-thing else that affects us all.

Still think your vote doesn’tcount?

Bill SchifferSammamish

Do we need initiatives?

Recently a group of citizens spoketo the City Council asking for themto adopt a charter allowing initia-tives and referendums to be allowedin our city.

Of the 281 cities in Washington,51 allow initiatives. Code cities, ofwhich Sammamish is one, were cre-ated to give cities “the broadest pow-ers of local self-government consis-tent with the Constitution” (RCW35A.01.010).

In my experience, the CityCouncil has been very responsive tocitizens and citizen groups and hasworked hard to allow for more andmore citizen input. Our citizenselect city councilpeople every twoyears. This November, three posi-tions are up for election. In the

space of a little more than 24months, our entire City Councilcould be changed. These are indi-viduals that are elected to makethe best decisions for us, and if wearen’t satisfied with their respon-siveness, we can vote them out.

It only takes 10-15 percent ofthe voters of the most recent elec-tion to get an initiative placed onthe ballot. Out of a potential elec-torate of 24,000 voters, it couldonly take a few hundred people tobring an initiative to the ballot, cir-cumventing the leadership of ourelected officials. Elections are notfree. What would it cost the tax-payers?

We are a city that dependsmostly on property taxes, and oursuccess depends on being able topredict future expenses.

Initiatives can cause a greatdeal of uncertainty. Even after aninitiative election, the possibilityof litigation — as we’ve seen at thestate level — can drag on for morethan a year.

What would be the effect oflegal costs on our operating bud-get? How will that affect the abili-ty of the city to do business?

We should have a robust discus-sion regarding the need for, thepotential consequences of and thepotential costs of adopting such acharter, before we all climb onboard this train.

Erica TiliacosThe writer is a former member of

the Sammamish PlanningCommission

He doesn’t get it?

I’m not sure that I understandthe City Council’s “public privatepartnership concept”. Let’s see.The Sammamish City Councilwants to build a $64 million com-munity center, which will competewith the commercial health clubsin the area, which offer the samefacilities.

Then, they want to turn it overto the YMCA, which will sell mem-berships to Sammamish citizens touse the facility they already paidfor. Of course, their plan is to givecitizens of Sammamish a small dis-count not offered to users from

other areas.It should be noted that the non-

profit YMCA raised $18 million in afundraiser, but decided to spend it inShoreline and Newcastle. How abouthaving the proposal study for thecenter contracted to its most likelybuilder?

And, as always we will pay highertaxes to fund the community center.Mayor Gerend has always wanted aREIT increase and CouncilwomanPettiti has noted that we are theonly large city in Washington thatdoesn’t have a utility tax. Likethere’s something wrong with that?

I’m following this election close-ly. I will vote for those candidateswho don’t want government com-peting with commercial ventures. Iwill vote my pocketbook. I hope thecandidates with a strong sense of fis-cal responsibility carry the day.

Love the new park

Recently, I took my family to visitthe new Evans Creek Preserve, and Imust say I’m impressed. Most of thepreserve is still entirely natural, butthe trails are much more developedfor visitors than I imagined. Theboardwalks, benches, viewing plat-forms, signage, bathrooms and otherfacilities look great.

Hundreds of Sammamish teens showed up Nov. 3 toget their first look at what Boys and Girls Club staffhope will be their home away from home.

Many tried their hand at table tennis Thursdaynight, chasing errant pingpong balls amongst the legsof the throngs of parents that also came to check outthe new facility. Others jumped and waved while tryingout two Xbox Kinect gaming systems that were donatedby Microsoft. The teaching kitchen was brimming withteens blending fruit smoothies for the guests. Somechose to try out the more than a dozen new computersin the computer lab. Still others sat in rapt attention asCatalyst, a rock band made up of local teens, inaugurat-ed the brand new stage and sound system.

The facility has been years in the making. The cityof Sammamish donated the old library building, nearthe corner of 228th Avenue and Northeast InglewoodHill Road, to the Boys and Girls Club, who raisedmoney for the remodel. The agency continues tofundraise in hopes that they can raise $3.5 million toadd a 7,000 square foot gymnasium on the property.

Zach Silberlicht, a 13-year-old Inglewood JuniorHigh School student, was impressed as he playedgames in the computer lab.

“It’s the one place I can go to relax,” he said. “I don’thave to listen to my mom saying ‘Do your homework’when I’m here.”

Silberlicht noted that he had finished his homeworkbefore attending.

The ongoing demonstrationsat Occupy Seattle and otherOccupy Wall Street-inspired ral-lies launched a national discus-sion about economic and socialequality.

The local demonstration alsoattracted Reece Allawatt, aSammamish resident, EastsideCatholic HighSchool alum-nus and recentGonzagaUniversitygraduate.

“It’s like theConstitutionsays. It’s ‘wethe people.’We’re the oneswho have thepower,” hesaid. “If we don’t like the waythat our representatives are rep-resenting us as a people, then wehave the right to voice our dis-sent.”

In between LSAT preparationand part-time jobs, Allawattjoined the crowd at OccupySeattle.

“Some of us Occupys have realjobs that we actually have to takepart in,” he quipped.

The protest remained peaceful

and Allawatt did not see anyclashes between protesters andpolice officers.

“I’ve never taken part in anyprotests or anything before,” hesaid, but decided to join afterlearning more about the FederalReserve.

The idea germinated asAllawatt started researching the2012 presidential election. In the

process, heread Texas con-gressman andGOP presiden-tial candidateRon Paul’s “Endthe Fed” — abook arguingagainst theFederalReserve.

“The mediais trying to por-

tray the movement as the liber-als’ Tea Party, which is really sadbecause that’s not it at all,” hesaid.

Then, after seeing OccupyWall Street unfold since mid-September, Allawatt joinedOccupy Seattle last month toraise awareness about “endingthe Federal Reserve, ending cor-porate personhood and gettingmoney out of politics.”

“The money from Wall Street and thebankers gets funneled directly back into poli-tics,” Allawatt said. “Everyone knows this.Everyone knows about lobbyists and corpora-tions that can literally buy out whatever theywant. It just feels so distant that we don’t real-ly have any chance of making that change.”

The slogan, “We are the 99 percent,” nods tothe difference in income growth between the

wealthiest 1 percent and of the population.“What the 99 percent stands for to me is,”

Allawatt said, is a chance to “help people andreally make lasting change.”

The key to success for the Occupy WallStreet movement, he said, is strength in num-bers.

“You can’t do it on your own, but the mass-es, the 99 percent, that’s how you make actualchange,” Allawatt said.

It’s not every day you see 25-foot sections of a red barn cruis-ing down the freeway. But it’s notevery day a guy donates one tosomeone more than 80 milesaway either.

Longtime Sammamish resi-dent Mike Lauzon and his wiferecently let 50 volunteers from achurch in Olympia disassembletheir horse barn on their proper-ty near Rock Meadow Farms andhaul it away — for free. Theytook the fencing, too.

“We were just totally excited,”said Rick Wilder, pastor ofOlympia Bible Baptist Church.“The impact it has on us is justtremendous. It’s a huge blessingfor us.”

Wilder said the barn will helpadvance programs and improvethe horses’ health at Triple RBoys Ranch, which he helps run.

The large donation cameabout after Lauzon and Wilderconnected through members ofFoundation Baptist Church,which meets at the Beaver LakeLodge. Lauzon had been workingon a plan to tear down the barn— the property is a bit small toraise horses — in preparation to

develop the land. “I refused to just tear it down

and destroy it,” Lauzon said. “Itwas the right thing to do it at thetime.”

It took a while to get the go-ahead, but disassembling thebuilding took approximately 50volunteers just four days to do.Wilder, his church volunteers anda crew of contractors from theYakima area were gone by Oct.21. The barn and hundreds offeet of fencing lie in heaps at theranch, awaiting permits fromThurston County.

“It came down very good,”Wilder said.

Lauzon was pleased with thespeedy and safe removal of thebarn. Although the roof needsreplacing, the building is in goodshape and will soon house theranch’s eight horses, once it’s putback together, he said.

“The barn was in pretty goodshape,” Lauzon said. “It was cuteand it worked and all that stuff.But the pasture that I had to gowith it wasn’t sufficient.”

Wilder estimated that the barnand fencing the group took fromthe property is worth up to

As a junior in high school,Jeesoo Suh saw a need for deepercultural understanding in thecommunity about her Koreanheritage. And less than a yearlater, she is fulfilling it in a tangi-ble way.

Jeesoo, a senior at SkylineHigh School, and six of herfriends from around the Eastsidefounded the Korean AdopteeFamily Foundation, an official501(c) 3, last June. It seeks topromote friendships within theKorean community through cul-tural and language education andgroup gatherings.

The group now meets twice amonth at the Redmond Libraryand averages roughly 20 atten-dees.

“It’s been going really well,”she said.

While she wasn’t yet 18 whileapplying for the status, Jeesoosaid they overcame plenty ofchallenges, including brainstorm-ing activities and organizationalstructure, finding the right formsand getting help from adults.

“I had to do a lot of researchon my own,” she said.

In 2010, Jeesoo got the idea to

form the foundation while work-ing as a teacher’s assistant atKorean School in Bellevue.

She heard a lot from parents

about the lack of cultural learn-ing options for their children.Various Korean organizations andcommunities do hold some cul-

tural events, but tend to only rep-resent the mainstream culture,Jeesoo said.

That idea drove her and six

friends to brainstorm ideas forhow they could celebrate Korea’slesser known cultures and tradi-tions.

“I try to find more detailsabout a culture,” Jeesoo said.

Jeesoo said the organizationseems to be gaining popularity,with more and more peopleattending meetings and tutoringsessions lately.

“A lot of people … are tellingus that they really like whatwe’re doing,” she said.

Part of the growth might bedue to the group’s engaging activ-ities at each meeting.

They play games that Jeesoobought herself last time she visit-ed Korea.

They don’t just play Koreangames. Jeesoo and the organiza-tion’s leaders create information-al sheets members and eventgoers can take home to learnabout a game’s original purposeand cultural history, she said.

“Some of the games symbolizethings,” Jeesoo said.

They don’t just play gamesand socialize.

The mad scientists havereturned to their classroomsand some are completing obser-vations of crickets, pill bugs andother creatures and plant life.

“Kids don’t just learn science,they do science,” said JoanneGriesemer, a curriculum spe-cialist for the Issaquah SchoolDistrict.

Griesemer was referring tothe district’s new science cur-riculum and said she has beenhappily busy over the past fewmonths helping implement thatcurriculum.

During the past spring andsummer, the Issaquah SchoolFoundation, in partnershipwith the local PTSA, put onvarious fundraisers and took inroughly $438,000 towardreplacing the district’s kinder-garten through fifth-grade sci-ence materials.

The fundraisers includedhaving students dressed as madscientists soliciting donations atvarious locations.

District officials pledged tomatch the foundation’s effortswith $700,000. The end resultwas the purchase of $1.1 millionin new science materials. Thatincludes everything from text-books and workbooks to mod-

els, measuring instruments andso on.

Every elementary school inthe district has received at leastsome of those items.

“I am so proud of our com-munity’s support of the new sci-ence curriculum,”Superintendent SteveRasmussen said. “World innova-tion is not slowing down justbecause state funding for publiceducation is. We need to pre-

pare our students to be competi-tive right now, and our commu-nity stepped up to that chal-lenge.”

A committee of teachers,school administrators and par-ents helped select the new cur-riculum. According toGriesemer and others, the mate-rials focus on three distinctareas or domains of scientificinquiry: life or biology; physicalsciences; and earth and spacesciences.

Students will tackle eachtopic in three ways: learning a

certain system, making scientif-ic inquiries and studying practi-cal applications of scientificconcepts.

The domains carry over fromyear to year.

For example, in kindergarten,students learn the basics of howa plant grows.

By the time they reach fourthgrade, students are buildingtheir own miniature ecosys-tems, complete with plants,small fish and insects.

“You can see how ideasdevelop throughout their educa-tion, how the ideas get morecomplex,” Griesemer said.

Creekside fourth-graders inLiz Yanev’s classroom recentlyworked on projects as theylearned about how movingwater, ice and wind breakdown rock, transport materialsand build up the earth’s sur-face.

Creekside currently has thekit for teaching earth-changingsurfaces.

Yanev said she has alreadynoticed students tend to bemore engaged in their workwith the new curriculum.

“Definitely the kids areengaged. They’re excited aboutscience,” said Yanev. “They’remaking personal connections.”

Sandy Klein got her MeadElementary School students riledup as they anticipated the arrivalof two members of the SeattleSeahawks Nov. 1. Dozens of stu-dents and staff decked out intheir Seahawks gear, theycheered for the Hawks, sang theschool song and jubilantly greet-ed Blitz, the team’s energeticmascot.

Linebackers K.J. Wright andMike Morgan entered to acacophony of cheers and screamsas some youth leapt out of theirplaces, arms held high and fistsclinched, as if they had just wit-nessed a last-second, game-win-ning touchdown. Though theywere greeted as stars, Wright andMorgan came to Mead aiming toinspire the students to eathealthy and get outside and play.It’s part of the NFL’s Play 60 pro-gram.

“In this very sports-focusedcommunity, what they have tosay is really important,” Kleinsaid after the two players fin-ished throwing the ball around

with students. Wright and Morgan gave stu-

dents examples of how theychose at an early age to eat right,play a lot and work hard at whatthey wanted to accomplish inlife. Wright harkened back to thedays of Popeye the Sailor Manwhen citing his inspiration to eatvegetables like spinach.

“If you guys want to be strong,make sure to eat your spinach,”Wright said.

Paul Johns, Seahawks assistantdirector of community relations,also highlighted the importanceof playing with friends. By ditch-ing the video games and playingoutside with buddies, he said,you learn to resolve conflict andget along with people in real situ-ations, rather than hide in a vir-tual world. Students seemed cap-tivated as Johns and the playersencouraged them to work hard inschool.

“You might not like a subject,”Johns said. “But you still have towork at it.”

As of late October, Griesemersaid the district had instituted thenew curriculum at each of its ele-mentary schools, but new materi-als still were arriving and teachertraining still was continuing atspecial sessions in a portableclassroom at Clark ElementarySchool.

When all new items are inthe schools, some 680 boxes offresh materials will have beendelivered to the classrooms ofapproximately 450 districtteachers.

But that’s not the end of thetravels for plenty of those materi-als.

In order to keep costs down,Griesemer said different sectionsof different domains would betaught at various schools on arotating basis.

For example, teachers willsend the materials now beingused at Creekside to studyecosystems off to a differentschool later this year. And, ofcourse, Creekside will receivematerials about other topicsnow being used at otherschools.

Griesemer said this is the firsttime that Issaquah schools haveused a rotating curriculum, atleast on this large a scale. Shesaid plenty of coordination willbe needed.

“It’s a little like managing acircus,” she said.

Besides the physical move-

ment of materials from onebuilding to another, Griesemerand others also are working toensure teachers are as familiarwith the materials as possible.Curriculum suppliers and pub-lishing sales reps provide thattraining along with district staffmembers.

“Teachers are teaching it withmore fidelity. That’s really big forus,” said Yanev.“There’s moreguidance on it,with teachermanuals.”

Why was anew sciencecurriculumneeded andwhy now?Griesemer saidthe answergoes back tothe state adop-tion of new sci-ence standards in 2009.Issaquah officials had a new sci-ence curriculum on their adop-tion list, but the state’s actionmeant it had to happen morequickly.

However, one major hurdlejumped in the way of the newcurriculum, namely the slicing of$1.4 million in state funding fromthe budget at the mid-point of thelast school year.

With that reduction, schooladministrators said the district

could no longer afford to imple-ment an entire new curriculum.

They might have been able togo ahead with putting only thelife science domain in place.That was when the schools foun-dation and the PTA stepped up tothe plate.

While she’s not sure aboutother teachers, Yanev said shespends more time than she used

to preparingfor a unit andcompiling stu-dent note-books for sci-ence lessons.

It’s tough tobalance itamid an ever-increasingworkload, butshe seemedsatisfied withthe resultsshe’s seeing in

the classroom. It’s more interactive and

hands-on and has a good mix ofvisuals and physical activities,she said.

“It’s worth it because of howthe kids are responding to it,”Yanev said.

His coaches call him a freak.In football-speak, that’s somemighty high praise.

Ryan Lewis is carving outquite a season with the EastlakeWolves. On Friday night, heetched his name in the schoolrecord books, running for threetouchdowns in the third-rankedWolves’ 48-0 victory over ThomasJefferson in the Class 4A statepreliminaries.

Lewis wasn’t aware that hehad moved past some select com-pany and broken the school’s sin-gle-season touchdown recordwith 23. The mark was 22 set byCameron Hunt in 2009. KyleLappano scored 21 touchdownslast season for Eastlake.

“He’s definitely a dynamiteplayer,” Eastlake running backs’coach Dirk Huebner said. “I thinkthe best thing about him is hiscompetitiveness.”

Lewis, who gets the “freak”label because of his blazing speedto go along with a muscular 6-foot, 185-pound frame, rushed for146 yards and all three of histouchdowns by halftime asEastlake built a 40-0 lead.

He played only a series in thesecond half as Eastlake (9-1) rest-ed many of its starters in prepara-tion of its state first-round gamenext week.

Friday night’s victory helpedtake away some of the sting oflast week’s 17-14 loss toWoodinville for the KingCo title.

Eastlake coach Gene Dalessaid the team now knows that it’s“playing for keeps.”

“Now one bad game and theseason’s over,” he said. “We’regoing with the motto, ‘Noregrets.’ ”

There were clearly noneFriday night.

The Skyline Spartans took just 14 sec-onds to score against the MonroeBearcats in the preliminary round of theplayoffs Nov. 4 on the plateau. And it did-n’t take much moretime for the Spartansto make it a one-sidedgame.

Skyline improved to7-3 after it beat theBearcats 59-21. Monroefinished its season 6-4.

“This was a big win for us,” saidSkyline junior quarterback Max Browne.

Spartan kick returner Chase Premone,a junior, took the opening kickoff 95yards for the first score of the game. Andthat set the pace for the offense, which

scored on all five of its drives in the firsthalf, including a 53-yard run up the rightside by senior running back DamianGreene with 14 seconds left in the half.The two teams scored a combined threetimes in the final 49 seconds of the sec-

ond quarter afterBrowne connected withreceiver TaggartKrueger for a 7-yardscoring pass andMonroe’s Jordan Moorebroke loose for a 69-yard touchdown run.

Skyline led 38-14 at halftime andnever looked back.

“I was seeing them exploiting holes inthe offense,” said Moore of Skyline’spotent offensive effort.

Greene finished the night with ninecarries for 83 yards — 80 of which camein the first half — and caught two passesfor 38 yards. He also returned an inter-

minute to lift the SkylineSpartans over the IssaquahEagles 2-1 to become KingCochamps for the second year in arow.

Tingey took a well-placedcross from Jordan Branch atabout the 4-yard line, turned andshot left-to-right from the leftpost. It was her sixth goal of theseason.

“It was so relieving. I was like,‘I’m going to score this goal,’”Tingey said as her team celebrat-ed its third KingCo 4A title infour years. “I just touched it, Ikind of volleyed it and I shot it.”

Skyline finished the regularseason 14-0-2 and is seeded No. 1in District 2 heading into thestate tournament. Issaquah (9-5-2) is seeded No. 2. The game wasa classic Skyline-Issaquah match-up.

“This was the kind of test qual-ity teams have to pass,” saidSkyline head coach Don Braman.

Skyline went up 1-0 immedi-ately. In the second minute,junior forward Anna Deweirdtheaded in a perfectly executedcorner kick from senior midfield-er Maddie Christ. The ball sailedin from the left corner andDeweirdt caught it at just theright angle with her head topunch it in just inside the leftgoal post.

The Spartans maintained thelead in the first half with aggres-sive play up front. Issaquah creat-ed some opportunities for itself,but Skyline controlled the tempothroughout. Branch providedanother cross to junior forwardRachel Shim to set up a shot thatjust missed in the 28th minute.The Eagles came close in the sev-enth and 35th minutes.

“When we play each other,we’re always evenly matched,”said Tingey.

The Eagles pressed harder inthe second half, controlling thepace of the game and creatingmore scoring opportunities thanSkyline.

Issaquah often left just twodefenders back as it went full-bore with the offensive attack.For the most part, it worked,Bunnell said.

“We were just going to throwthe house at them,” said Issaquahcoach Tom Bunnell. “I didn’tdoubt we would get one, but itwas just when.”

As the clock wound down, itlooked as if Issaquah’s hopes of acomeback were dashed. But withless than a minute to go, fresh-man forward Lyrik Fryer took theball 25 yards out at the left side-line. She lofted it to the center ofthe box, where junior defenderMorgan Zack re-directed it withher head right into the goal, pastan on-rushing Tina Vargas.

That tied it at 1-1, sending thegame into a 5-minute, “goldengoal” overtime period.

$200,000. But thanks to theLauzon family’s generosity andflexibility in the process, Wilderand members of the Olympiachurch have only had to pay forthe demolition permit inSammamish and building permitin Thurston County. J L ThomasConstruction, of Selah, donatedequipment and crew to haul thebarn and fencing fromSammamish to Olympia, elimi-nating transportation costs forthe church, too.

“We have no money in it,”Wilder said.

The provision couldn’t havecome at a better time, he said.Camp leaders are seeking toserve more boys in the area, andthe barn is a big step in thatdirection.

The horses also risk healthproblems related to being outsidefor too long.

“It’s amazing the timing of it,”Wilder said. “It just happened at agood time for us.”

The triple R Ranch serves at-risk boys. The youth learn towork with the organization’seight horses while attendingschool on-site, Wilder said.

The barn will provide coverfor the horses, helping avoidhealth problems.

And the boys will stay a littledrier while attending to chores.

“Mike was very generous inhelping the Triple R Boys Ranchhere at our church,” Wilder said“I’m hoping to get it up forChristmas.”
