A single mother who once worked a pizza delivery job on the

side, Toni Nielsen knows best why the hot pies are so popular in Issaquah.

With three teen boys, who grew about an inch every time she turned around, the convenience of bringing home a hot pizza pie was unbeatable.

She now owns the pizza place she was delivering pies from, Extreme Pizza on Front Street North. She

hopes someday to open fi ve more.In a small city fi lled with pizza

places, restaurant owners are do-ing surprisingly well. Th eir success can be contributed to a cocktail of diversity, disposable income and the large number of families that fi ll the Issaquah foothills.

“People are so busy in this area,” Nielsen said. “Convenience makes a big diff erence.”

Issaquah, with about 30,000 resi-dents, has 11 pizza restaurants, and a 12th is on the way.

Tuscan Stone Pizza, a popular food cart in Bellevue, plans to reopen its trailer on East Lake Sammamish Parkway in the spring.

Th e food cart closed down aft er a couple months because cold weather scared away sales before it could build a customer base, said co-owner David Meyer.

Tuscan Stone cooks up made-to-order, thin-crust pizzas in a applewood fueled oven in just over a minute.

While he food cart tends to compete with other food trucks, it brought notable competition to busi-nesses on Bellevue’s Main Street.

When the trailer, setup outside a boarded up fast-food joint, started drawing customers from Issaquah,

Th e counts are in for the Issaquah and Sammamish local races, and all of the incumbents held on to their seats.

Voter turnout was only about 30 percent in Sammamish, and not much better in Issaquah with 32 percent, aft er the Wednesday night count.

More ballots will continue to come in the next few days.

Sammamish City CouncilTom Vance has a heft y lead for Seat

6 as of Wednesday night. Vance was leading his opponent, Jesse Bornfreund, with 68 percent of the count compared to Bornfreund’s 32 percent.

Vance garnered 4,546 votes to 2,125 for Bornfreund.

Vance, who was at home, said he was honored, and complimented his wife, Mary Lynn for being his number one supporter, editor and treasurer.

“I think I ran a good campaign, I think I got my message out,” Vance said.

Vance made an unsuccessful bid for city council in 2009. He is a former chair of the planning commission, who worked on the town center plan.

“It’s not looking good for the home team,” Bornfreund said.

Bornfreund was more disappointed with the low 30 percent voter turnout in Sammamish. He said 50 percent of the people he talked to Monday while out campaigning, had not sent their ballots in yet.

“I’m not upset, I worked hard,” Bornfreund said. “At the end of the day, the people who voted are the winners.”

For seat 4, Ramiro Valderrama was leading Jim Wasnick, 57 percent to 43 percent. Valderrama had 3,922 votes com-pared to 2,987 for Wasnick. Both are fi rst time candidates.

Valderrama, who mobilized Citizens for Sammamish, said although these are preliminary results, he was very humbled by the support of the citizens of Sammamish. He added his compliments to all of the other candidates, acknowledging all the hard work each one put in to their campaigns.

Wasnick was already out picking up signs as numbers came in.

Th e new maternity ward boasts of comfortable delivery suites and postpartum rooms, which overlook a courtyard.

Th e opening also includes 36-bed surgi-cal unit and a 36-bed intensive care unit.

ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH


BY REAGAN DUNNKING COUNTY COUNCIL

Everywhere you look, local, state and federal govern-ments are turning over every rock to fi nd programs to re-duce or eliminate. Taxpayers have made it repeatedly clear that non-essential programs and services need to yield to those that are determined to be essential.

As a King County councilmember and former federal prosecutor, I argue that our nation must not abandon its commitment to equal justice by doing what it can to pro-tect funding for the federal Legal Services Corporation.

Here in Washington and in King County we have been forced to scale back our fi scal commit-ments to those activities directly related to core governmental functions. Undeni-ably, the fair and proper administration of justice is a core function of govern-ment

Th e federal government provides more than $400 million to the Legal Services Corporation on an annual basis. Th is organization funds local legal aid programs designed to ensure pro bono legal services for our most vulnerable citizens – those at

or below 125 percent of the federal poverty threshold. Although defendants in criminal cases are provided a

lawyer, four out of fi ve low-income Washington residents are unable to get legal help for civil proceedings. Th ese include landlord-tenant disputes, protection for survivors of domestic violence, and issues with child support, home foreclosures and bankruptcies.

Th e LSC helps fund Washington state’s fl agship legal program, the Northwest Justice Project, which handles approximately 18,000 cases annually benefi tting more than 40,000 people. In 2010, more than 5,000 Washington state attorneys contributed more than 75,000 hours of pro bono assistance to low-income individuals and families.

Federal budgets are at a precipice as Congress rightfully

looks to scale back the size and scope of our nation’s obliga-tions. However, at a time when civil legal aid programs and volunteer attorneys are overwhelmed with cases, cutting federal funding is simply the wrong thing to do.

Access to equal justice goes beyond partisan politics. Le-gal volunteers see the widening gap between those who can aff ord legal aid and those who cannot. Abandoning this eff ort now will send a disturbing message to those in need.

I serve on the Washington State Bar Association’s Pro Bono and Legal Aid Committee, which works to expand access to justice for Washington citizens. Th e proposed fed-eral cuts will not be made up by state or local governments and the private sector. Th e result will be less service to low-income clients and more citizens who are not served by our justice system.

Lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have many responsi-bilities, and they may not fully understand the work of the LSC. Th ey may not be aware that current proposals would return service to 1981 levels. Before it is too late, I implore Congress to realize that nearly one million cases are un-dertaken annually as a result of these funds that would not otherwise be handled.

Here in King County, we recognize and honor those who volunteer their time to provide legal services for those who otherwise could not aff ord it. Th is is a time for elected offi cials, businesses and the community to commend the volunteerism of attorneys and the positive impact they have on people struggling to survive poverty.

Government is changing on every level. Based on cur-rent and projected revenues, we no longer have the ability to support many public programs. As we enter what many are calling the “new normal,” we need to reinforce the principal that every citizen has access to necessary legal resources.

My hope is that our elected federal leaders will stand up to ensure that our justice system works for everyone.

Reagan Dunn is the outgoing Chairman of the Law, Justice, Health, and Human Services Committee in King County. He is a candidate for state Attorney General.

If you read the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter in print and also online, you’ve probably noticed a dis-connect. Letters to the editor in our print edition come with the name of the author. Many comments online don’t have them – and worse – the authors often are hidden behind a made-up name.

No more. The news industry is clearly moving away from anonymous commenting, and we are proud to be part of this change.

Beginning Nov. 17, the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter will discontinue its online comment section as it is now and instead require all comments to come to us via Facebook.

The Facebook system encourages and rewards real identity; anonymous and negative comments – which put off many of our readers and hurt site participation – are curtailed. Chronic “trolls” are driven away.

If you are logged-in Facebook user, you’ll be able to comment on our stories. And the chances are good that you probably are. Facebook has 800 million us-ers.

There are other pluses for you, too. Buttons will allow Facebook users to recommend a particular story to their FB friends or subscribers, or more directly send it to specifi c FB friends or anyone via email.

Many other newspapers already are moving to using Facebook, including LATimes.com, Gannett, Media General and American City Business Journals.

A few other things are worth noting. These are nothing new, but they are worth repeating:

We won’t allow personal, hateful, or other attacks, including derogatory usage of race, religion, national-ity, gender, sexual orientation, age, region, disability, etc. However, we still welcome debate on these potentially sensitive subjects.

We won’t accept comments on stories of personal tragedy because we don’t want readers speculating or commenting irresponsibly on culpability for automo-bile crashes, unexplained deaths, sexual assaults or other stories where sensitivity is called for.

And, we won’t allow obscenities, profanities and sexual innuendo. And we won’t allow numbers or symbols to fi ll in the letters of scatological and sexual terms.

Finally, remember that if you don’t have a Face-book account, you’re not left out. You still can send us a letter to the editor via mail, FAX or email and be part of our robust letters section.

An unfortunate side effect of living an active life is having joints

that wear out while you’re still busy using them. But there’s no

reason to hang it up when you can come to the Swedish Orthopedic

Institute. Swedish does more joint replacements than any other medical

center in the area. Swedish was also the first in Western Washington

to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted joint-replacement surgery

that results in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.

Being a parent is wonderful — but some days, it’s just plain hard.

In a moment of stress or confrontation, parents sometimes react to a child’s behav-ior without knowing if they are doing the right thing for the long-term.

Th e good news is that moms, dads and other caregivers can learn to make more intentional choices that improve the odds

in a child’s favor.One of the most funda-

mental ways to do this is for parents to create and sustain a positive relation-ship with each child. Th is approach, known as “positive parenting” is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which asserts: “Th e best way

to encourage good behavior is to lay the groundwork early by being a good role model and demonstrating a consistent, lov-ing approach to discipline.”

To be clear, positive parenting is not permissive parenting. Parenting that is too

lenient — or too strict — is not best for children. Studies show that boys and girls who grow up with permissive parents are three times more likely to engage in binge drinking, and children of authoritarian par-ents are twice as likely to engage in heavy drinking.

Children of authoritative parents who use positive parenting skills are the least likely to engage in binge drinking.

Jane Nelson’s Positive Discipline series of books off er a proven and eff ective way to develop the positive parenting skills recom-mended by AAP. For those who prefer more interaction and guidance for learning

how to parent more eff ectively, a variety of organizations off er workshops based on positive parenting concepts.

Making a plan to improve your par-enting skills could be the best gift you give yourself—and your family—this

holiday season.

Chocolately, creamy, dreamy … all that’s missing is the perfect mug to serve it up, plus a plate of cookies to savor alongside on a frosty night.

Exchange, which is fairly traded)¾ cup powdered dry milk

½ teaspoon anise seed, toasted and crushed (look for these in the spice section)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamonTo toast the anise seed, stir it in a heavy

pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes, then cool and crush to release fl avor and fragrance. Combine all ingredi-ents in a large bowl. Mix well.

Package in glass jar with a tight-fi tting lid. Tie on a label with these instructions: To make the hot cocoa, add 3 tablespoons mix to 6 ounces of boiling water. Stir until chocolate chips dissolve.

PICK A PIZZA

Meyer decided it was time to branch out. He built another trailer and sent it east.

“Issaquah is a really family oriented type of commu-nity, and that lends itself to a lot of large pizza sales,” Meyer said.

Hearing they had closed shop for winter gave Nielsen a sigh of relief. Extreme Pizza was the closest competitor, although there are four pizza places on Front Street alone.

While pizza places might be pleased that they’ve closed shop, competition is always welcome, said Matt Bott, head of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce. “I’ve had some great food out of food trucks.”

So many pizza places can survive in the city, because they’re pretty diverse. There is the date night pizza, takeout pizza and the family pizza joint, Bott said.

While Roundtable and Flying Pie Pizzeria allow for the screaming birthday parties, gourmet selections can be found at the subdued Armondo’s.

Tutta Bella is somewhere in the middle. Its happy hour promises smaller pizzas created with Italian imported foods. When dinner hour comes, kids can be found playing with pizza dough while their cheese pizzas are tossed in the kitchen.

For Tutta Bella it’s about authentic Italian pizza and families, but their success is also tied to those families’ paychecks.

“I think it is a lot of families with a little more extra income they can choose to dine out with,” said Manager Kelli Phelan.

Extreme Pizza is all about extremes. One recipe replaces pizza sauce for hummus and others use broccoli and pota-toes as toppers.

While it offers healthier options, such as one pizza called “Drag it Thru the Garden,” its also started up a food eating competition.

Anyone who can finish an 18-inch pizza called the “Yard Sale,” which weighs about 5 pounds, in 30 minutes gets the pizza for free and a mention on the wall of fame.

It’s a fitting competition for a family restaurant.Nielsen knows that well; her teens were “bottomless pits.”

The Cascade Land Con-servancy, the leading land conservation group in the state, announced that it was changing its name to Forterra on Nov. 1.

The name came from a list of hundreds of recom-

mendations. It means “for the earth.”

The name is better fit-ting, because the group has since moved from just doing land conservancy, and it now also serves the Olympic Peninsula.

Since Forterra was founded in 1989, it’s come to conserve more than 173,000 acres of rural and working land.

The group’s mission expanded in 2005 with the Cascade Agenda, which

focused on long-range, re-gional development goals with cities.

The group now also helps establish community gardens and push Com-plete Streets initiatives.

“With policy work entering the cities and conservation work reach-ing across the state, we as an organization noted the need to change,” said Peter Orser, the Forterra board chair. “Forterra better encompasses all the work we’re doing and leaves us room to continue evolving to serve the needs of this dynamic region.”

BY LINDA BALLISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah and Sammamish both saw drops in median sales price of homes and inventory compared to one year ago in both single family and condominiums.

In Issaquah, median sales price for sin-gle family and condos combined dropped 31.33 percent from $515,500 a year ago, to $354,000 last month. Sammamish east to North Bend, saw median price drop 8.64 percent from $474,500 a year ago to $433,500 last month.

There were 66 closed sales in Issaquah last month, up from 52 a year ago, and 120 closings in Sammamish compared to 114 a year ago.

Pending sales, which are the best barom-eter of what’s happening right now, are new

contracts that have not yet closed.In Issaquah, 120 pending sales were

reported, compared to 95 last year at this time.

But Sammamish really saw some ac-tion, with 204 pending sales last month, up from 199 a year ago.

Inventory is dwindling, too, perhaps for seasonal reasons. Issaquah’s overall inventory dropped from 536 a year ago to 421, and Sammamish from 939 proper-ties a year ago to 796 last month.

Bob Richards, a broker with Win-dermere in Issaquah, said the drop in inventory is attributed to winter knock-ing at the door, coupled with the frantic desire by some of the sellers to sell their home no matter what.

“A lot will succumb to a lower offer,” Richards said. “Some sellers will jump at

any offer so they can sell before winter.”Breaking out single family only,

median price dropped 16.14 percent in Issaquah from $593,750 to $497,944, with 46 closed sales last month. In Sam-mamish, median price dropped 10.73 percent from $508,000 a year ago to $453,500, with 104 closed sales, up from 97 in October 2010.

Looking at condominiums, closings doubled from last year in Issaquah, with 20 condo closings compared to 10 a year ago. The change in price was 7.29 per-cent, from $191,450 in October 2010 to $177,500 last month.

Sammamish had 16 condo closings at a median price of $205,000 down 10.09 per-cent from $228,000 a year ago. In October of 2010, 17 condos closed in Sammamish.

Richards said that investors are starting to show up and condominiums make sense for them. The downside to inves-tors buying up too many units in any given condominium project, is that the lower owner-occupant rate can affect future financing for the project.

He said since so many of the condos are distressed properties, the seller, usu-ally an institution, feels it’s much better to get someone in there paying condo dues now.

“You can starve to death waiting,” Richards said.

But the new buyers need to beware of their ability to re-sell if there is no financing available due to a low owner-occupied ratio of units.

Prices were down almost 11 percent area-wide compared to a year ago, ac-cording to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, an organization that includes more than 22,000 real estate brokers.

In a press release, listing service direc-tor Frank Wilson said, “What is holding back the housing market has little to do with houses.”

He said it has more to do with uncer-tainty in the stock market, volatile global economies, and lack of job creation.

It doesn’t help, either, that the ceiling for jumbo loans dropped. Buyers in need of a mortgage above $506,000 must now qualify for a jumbo loan which is more restrictive and carries a higher interest rate than a conventional loan. The previ-ous limit on jumbo loans was $567,500

According to the listing service, in King County, nearly one-third of the available inventory is priced above the more restrictive loan limit.

Richards said this could be the last hurrah before March, and he suspects a sleepy winter, but he said buyers will come out if it’s a great deal.

“We still have low interest rates and banks are loosening up,” he said, adding that these factors point to a stable 2012.

Home prices, inventory slide in Sammamish and Issaquah


A wood burning stove is believed the cause of a fire that consumed a two-story garage in Sammamish on Friday.

The homeowner told firefighters he turned the stove down to go run some errands, and when he returned the garage was fully engulfed in flames, according to an Eastside Fire and Rescue press release.

Firefighters arrived at about 6 p.m. to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the 2,000-square-foot garage on the 200

block of 218th Place Southeast. The fire cre-ated a thermal column that could be seen from several neighborhoods away.

Crews were able to save the home, which only stood about 50 feet away.

The King County Fire Marshall’s office continues to investigate. It caused about $180,000 in damages.

No one was injured.About a third of all house fires are started

by fuel-fired appliances, often because creosote builds up in the chimneys.

The following information was compiled from City of Is-saquah and City of Sammamish police reports:

A homeowner discovered five men, all strangers, hang-ing out in her garage at night, after she forgot to close it Nov. 5.

She discovered the men, who were wearing dark cloth-ing, after hearing voices outside on the 4000 block of 232 Avenue Southeast, Sammamish. They were hanging around a refrigerator, at the front of the garage.

Seeing the men, she ran into the house and called police. By time the officers arrived, the men were gone, and so were several bottles of wine kept in the refrigerator.

Denied access to Tent CityA woman was denied entry to Tent City 4, which moved

to Issaquah last month, after the staff discovered she had a warrant on her name Nov. 2.

The officer explained that it was a non-extraditable war-rant from Florida. The woman insisted that it was a mixup.

She said she was born in Florida, but that someone else was using her name there. The officer told her to contact the Florida authorities about the matter and gave her the crisis clinic telephone number.

Stolen donationsSomeone stole a change jar for the Ronald McDonald

House from the Sammamish McDonald’s at about 10:30 p.m., Oct. 31.

A thin male teenager with a black baseball cap and coat, grabbed the donations from the front counter and took off in a silver, 4-door car.

Too cozy at a fast food jointPolice kicked out a homeless man who was sleeping in a

fast food restaurant on Gilman Boulevard in Issaquah on Nov. 1.

When the officer arrived, the caller asked that the man be arrested for trespassing. The man eventually left without

further incident.

Speeder drives drunkA man was arrested for drunk driving after an officer

saw him speeding along Issaquah-Pine Lake Road South-east on Nov. 5.

The officer clocked him going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. When the officer followed, they saw the man’s white Chevy Tahoe cross over the fog lines.

When police officers asked him if he’d been drinking, he told them he had chugged down two Coronas at a bar in Issaquah before driving home.

Burglars smash open back doorA burglar smashed open a back door and made off with

thousands in jewelry in a Sammamish home Oct. 31.The homeowners’ daughter returned home from school,

entered through the garage as usual, and discovered the smashed glass window. It had been broken near the lock to gain entry.

There were muddy footprints leading upstairs into the master bedroom, where $15,000-$25,000 in Indian gold jewelry was missing.

The jewelry wasn’t secured, and the house alarm hadn’t been set on the 3200 block of 211 Place Southeast.

Garage doors open – and there’s the problemPOLICE BLOTTER

Issaquah residents used less water this year, but they won’t pay less money for the savings.

City Council agreed to raise the water rate by 9 percent Monday. It comes to about $4-5 for the average home over a two-month billing cycle.

During rainy summers, like the past two years, residents use less water

and therefore pay less in water fees.

However, the cost to maintain the water system doesn’t change, nor does its agreement with the Cascade Water Alliance.

The rate increase will make up the difference. The city doesn’t use water fees to subsidize its bud-get.

The fee hike would provide a $500,000 cushion that will keep the city’s water fund balance from falling below zero, said Jim Blake, the city’s finance director.

While the council agreed by one vote to raise water rates, it decided not to raise property taxes.

“It’s a reflection of the fact that we understand

our citizens are having a hard time because of the economic downturn,” said Fred Butler, a city coun-cilmember.

The city prides itself in not collecting a major-ity of its revenue through property taxes, relying instead on businesses, said Mark Mullet, a coun-cilmember and business owner.

While the property tax vote was unanimous, it wasn’t without caution. John Traeger, a coun-cilmember who is stepping down from the council this year, warned that inflation goes up, taxes would need to follow.

In a studio in the Pacifi c Northwest Ballet’s Francia Russell Center, 11-year-old Lauren Zimmermann of Sam-mamish, pliés in fi rst position at the barre. Nicholas Ade, principal of PNB’s Eastside school principal, asks if her toes have enough room.

Although a ballet dancer should never look down at her feet; it’s hard not to today. Aft er all, Lauren is wearing her fi rst pair of pointe shoes.

“She’s so excited, she’ll probably sleep in them tonight,” says Janet Zimmermann, Lauren’s mom.

It’s moments like this that make the days of dance classes, rushed moments to get ready aft er school and the half-hour drive to the Bellevue studio all worth it.

“Th is has been the day that they’ve been looking forward to since last year, when they heard they were going in to level four,” says Jensine Winther, whose daughter, Rose Hayden, is also getting fi t for her fi rst pair of pointe shoes.

It was obvious that something special was going to hap-pen the moment Lauren, Rose and their friends from ballet class fi led into the studio reserved for their fi tting, moms in tow. Now, representatives from Freed of London, PNB’s pointe shoe supplier, as well as PNB school teachers, are on hand to help with the fi tting.

Dressed in street clothes, with tights underneath, Each of the 31 level-four dancers try on pair aft er pair until she fi nds the perfect fi t.

Later in her training, Lauren will be able to gracefully relevé, or rise, onto her toes. For now, Ade has her “climb” up with the assistance of the barre. But, despite it being her

fi rst time, she still manages to get her entire small frame on top of her hard, new shoes – the pretty product of dried glue, pink satin, burlap and hand-craft smanship.

“I thought it would hurt a lot more than it did, but it was really easy; it felt good,” she says.

Abbie Siegel, PNB School principal, says being allowed to dance en pointe is a dream come true for an aspiring ballerina, and a symbol of accomplishment.

“Th ey love learning how to put them on, how to tie them.”

For Zimmermann, the pink, satin shoes means she’s one step closer to being more like her idol, PNB principal dancer, Carla Körbes.

“She’s what made me want to go on pointe,” Lauren says.Sometimes, Lauren and her classmates even write letters

to the company dancers they admire. Receiving auto-

graphed pointe shoes from Körbes is a special gift . Th e students collect the company dancers’ shoes.

Th is is an important part of becoming a ballet dancer. In emulating the professionals, the students carry on what they observe, Siegel says. “It becomes a sort of tradition.”

EASTSIDE (7-3) VS. BELLEVUE (10-0)

Kickoff : 7 p.m., Friday at Bellevue High School

At stake: Winner moves on to face Lakes or Mountain View on the road in the 3A state quarterfi nals.

Breakdown: Eastside Catholic is still reeling after last week’s big 50-33 playoff victory at Oak Harbor. The Crusaders gained some valuable experience defend-ing the Wildcats’ Wing-T off ense, but there’s little question that Bellevue executes the run attack better than anyone else in the state — possibly the country. Eastside’s off ense is really clicking right now behind quarterback Trey Reynolds and running back Chevy Walker. The off ense will have to be fl awless on Friday, however. An interesting pair of side notes: This is the fi rst time Eastside Catholic and Bellevue have played one another since 2006. Also, Walker and Bellevue star safety Bishard “Budda” Baker are fi rst cousins and great friends. It could make for some interesting interactions in the secondary.

EASTLAKE (9-1) VS. FEDERAL WAY (10-0)

Kickoff : 7 p.m., Saturday at Federal Way

At stake: Winner moves on to host Lake Stevens or Olympia in the 4A state quarterfi nals.

Breakdown: Eastlake got back on track last week, thumping Jeff erson 48-0. Don’t expect things to be as easy this week, however, as undefeated Federal Way will present a much larger challenge. Both teams have size on the line with the Eagles led by 6-foot-3, 300-pound Uso Olive and the Wolves led by 6-3, 320-pound James Bradley. Each team has speed in the backfi eld with Eastlake’s Ryan Lewis (1,462 yards, 23 TDs) and Federal Way’s D.J. May (1,288 yards, 21 TDs). Even looking at common opponents, Snohom-ish and Jeff erson, the Wolves and Eagles are almost identical. Eastlake won 42-14 and 48-0, respectively, while the Federal Way won 41-14 and 34-8. This game could come down to who makes fewer mistakes or big special teams plays.

SKYLINE (7-3) VS. MEAD (9-1)

Kickoff : 1 p.m., Saturday at Joe Albi Stadium

At stake: Winner moves on to host Central Valley or Ferris in the 4A state quarterfi nals.

Breakdown: Mead runs a fl y-sweep off ense with a ton of motion — and they will pound the ball on the ground. This could be a challenge for Skyline as its one real weakness this season has been stopping the run. That said, the Panthers haven’t seen a passing off ense quite like that of the Spartans. Junior quarter-back Max Browne has completed an astounding 71 percent of his passes this season for 2,704 yards, 29 TDs and just fi ve interceptions. The contrasting styles should equal a very competitive and entertaining game. Spokane is a long way for Skyline to travel, but experience could be the diff erence maker on Satur-day afternoon.

PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

BY KEVIN [email protected]

Th e chants of “Shim, Shim, Shim” transitioned to “Tina, Tina, Tina,” as a jubilant Skyline soccer team gathered at midfi eld.

Th ere was no secret aft er Tuesday’s opening round 4A state playoff game as to how the Spartans lived to play another day.

Two players — junior forward Rachel Shim and senior goalkeeper Tina Var-gas — made crucial plays down the stretch as Skyline defeated Kentridge 1-0.

“Tina came up with that huge save when her team needed her to produce and Rachel showed that com-petitive fi ghting spirit that we live by,” head coach Don Braman said.

In the 67th minute, Char-gers’ forward Emily Hanna broke free at midfi eld aft er a defl ection. Facing a one-on-one situation, the Uni-versity of Denver-bound Vargas came out and stuff ed Hanna’s attempt on goal.

“I honestly thought she was going to chip me, but I decided to hold my

ground,” Vargas said. “Th e thing I thought about is my high-school soccer career is not over, we’re not ending it now.”

Nearly 8 minutes later, in the 75th minute, it was Shim’s turn to shine.

Taking a throw-in from teammate Sydne Tingey, the ball was defl ected off a defender in the penalty box into the air. Shim quickly turned and booted it from 10 yards into the bottom right corner of the net.

“To me, it was weird be-cause I felt like it was slow motion,” she said. “I saw it go up in the air and I knew when right when it came down, this is mine, I’m go-ing to score this one.”

Th e goal was Shim’s third of the season — fi rst since Sept. 17 — and a huge ac-complishment for a player recovering from a serious knee injury. Last winter, Shim tore the meniscus, ACL and MCL in her right knee during a basketball game. With so much talent on the Spartans’ roster, she’s had to fi ght for playing time in her junior season.

“What’s great for her is

she’s worked her butt off to get back,” Braman said.

Prior to the late-game action, there were few op-portunities for either team.

Th e Spartans out-shot the Chargers 3-2 in the fi rst half and 8-4 for the game.

Th e close contest came as little surprise to Braman, who knew Kentridge (13-3-3) would be a tough test.

“We knew coming in Kentridge was a good side,” he said. “Th ey’d beaten Kentwood and fi nished sec-ond in, if not the strongest league in the state, certainly right up there with us.”

Skyline (15-0-2) will host either Jackson or Kentwood on Saturday in the state

quarterfi nals. Th ose two teams played Wednesday aft er Th e Reporter’s dead-line. Check www.issaquah-reporter.com or www.wiaa.com for updated brackets and times.

EC STUNS NO. 1 SOUTHRIDGE

Eastside Catholic over-came a long road trip and a team ranked No. 1 in 3A by various polls on Tuesday, defeating Southridge 1-0 in Kennewick.

Th e Crusaders netted the game’s lone score in the 64th minute off the foot of

Most would scoff at the idea of a two-hour ride in a crammed school bus.

Trey Reynolds couldn’t wait for the opportunity last Friday.

“Th is is the second win I’ve had that means something,” said Eastside Catholic’s elated quarterback aft er coming from behind to beat Oak Harbor 50-33 in the state-quali-fying round of the 3A playoff s. “I can’t wait for the bus ride home, this is the best I’ve felt all season. Th e rides’ going to go by quickly.”

With all the momentum going in the Wildcats’ favor midway through the third quarter, things abruptly changed for the Crusaders.

Eastside was facing a 33-22 defi cit with 5:52 left in the third quarter aft er Oak Harbor’s Brent Ryan rushed in his third touchdown.

Instead of hanging their heads, the Crusaders rose to the challenge. On the ensuing drive Eastside Catholic drove 90 yards on seven plays, capping it off with a 18-yard TD pass from Reynolds to Jake Springfi eld.

Eastside’s defense then earned a big stop on Oak Har-bor’s next drive, forcing the Wildcats to turn the ball over on downs at the Crusader 10.

Eastside answered putting together its second straight 90-yard score. Th is time Reynolds capped an 8-play drive off , scoring on a 37-yard quarterback keeper. Th e score gave the Crusaders a 36-33 lead with 9:01 left in the game.

Senior defensive back Matt Callans sealed the deal mo-ments aft er Eastside’s score, intercepting Ian Kolste at the on the Wildcats’ own 35-yard line.

Th e play came as a bit of a surprise aft er Oak Harbor’s dominance running the ball. Th e Wildcats amassed 398 rushing yards on 62 carries.

It didn’t come as a shock to Callans, however, who said he was expecting the Wildcats to go to the air.

“Th at was the point I really felt like it was our game to take,” he said.

Just three plays aft er the interception, running back Chevy Walker rushed in a 7-yard score with 8:00 left on the clock for a 43-33 lead.

Th e Crusaders forced the Wildcats into two more turn-overs to close the game on a turnover on downs and one more interception from linebacker Joe Stoutt.

“Our defense was just determined and our seniors ral-lied together,” Callans said. “I’m just so proud of them. We

came together at halft ime and said we’re not done playing high school football.”

Reynolds ended the game completing 16 of 21 passes for 255 yards and three TDs. He also rushed 12 times for 138 yards and one TD.

Th e biggest key for the Crusaders — they only had one turnover. Th ey entered the game with 18 on the season.

“Th at’s what we’ve been focused on the last three or four weeks is ball security,” Reynolds said.

Th e fi rst half of Friday’s game went back and forth with both teams trading scores. Th e Crusaders struck fi rst on a 26-yard TD pass from Reynolds to Walker.

Kolste tied the game with a TD pass to Mike Washington and the Wildcats snagged the lead, 13-7, when Ryan (25 carries, 138 yards) scored his fi rst of three TDs before the end of the fi rst quarter.

Th e teams traded leads twice more before Elisha Pa’aga’s 1-yard TD gave Eastside a 22-19 lead headed into the locker room.

Th e Crusaders(7-3), who earned their fi rst playoff win since 2008, will face Bellevue (10-0) in what is offi cially the

fi rst round of the 3A state tournament.“We’ve got a special group here,” said fi rst-year head

coach Jeremy Th ielbahr, noting the transition to a new coach has been a process. “Th e buy-in is really starting to happen.”

SKYLINE CRUSHES MONROESkyline used another stellar off ensive performance Friday

to dominate Monroe, 59-21, and advance to the fi rst round of the 4A state playoff s.

Th e Spartans scored 38 fi rst-half points in Friday’s 4A state-qualifying game, behind the effi cient play of quarter-back Max Browne. Th e junior completed 17 of his 25 passes for 263 yards and fi ve touchdowns with no interceptions.

Chase Premone started the game off with a bang for Skyline, returning the opening kickoff 94 yards for a TD. Browne then hooked up with Nic Sblendorio for TD passes of 4, 6 and 53 yards. He also found Matt Sinatro for a 43-yard TD and Taggart Krueger for a 6-yard score.

Damien Greene and Nate Gibson added rushing touch-downs for the Spartans, who improved to 7-3 on the season.

EASTLAKE BLOWS OUT JEFFERSONEastlake scored 34 points in the second quarter Friday

on its way to a dominating 48-0 victory over Jeff erson in the state-qualifying round of the 4A playoff s.

Th e Wolves held a 40-0 lead at the half, led by Ryan Lewis’ three touchdown runs of 7, 9 and 28 yards. Th e senior ended with 146 yards.

Quarterback Keegan Kemp also threw for three touch-down passes, hitting Brian Quick for scores of 6 and 10 yards, and Cameron Nelson for an 11-yard score.

David Hernandez added a 32-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

ISSAQUAH SEASON ENDS ON ROADTurnovers plagued Issaquah Friday night as the Eagles’

season came to an end with a 47-17 loss to Skyview in Vancouver.

Th e Eagles turned the ball over at the Storm’s 5-yard line early in the game, and quarterback Ethan Kalin later threw a pair of interceptions, in what eventually resulted in a 24-0 halft ime defi cit.

Issaquah started the second-half off with an Alex Shane 30-yard fi eld goal, but Skyview answered with another 14-0 run to put the game out of reach.

Th e Eagles eventually tacked on two fourth-quarter TDs, scoring on a 1-yard run from Kalin and a 57-yard pass from Kalin to Reed Peterson.

Skyview quarterback Kieran McDonagh threw for 338 yards and four touchdowns, while running back Parker Henry rushed for 123 and a pair of TDs.

Issaquah ended its season with a 7-3 record.

“Everybody needs to be con-gratulated for putting themselves out here,” Wasnick said. “Let’s hope the future council continues to work for a progressive future of the city.”

Like Bornfreund, he was concerned about the low voter turnout.

Th e seat 2 race pits the only in-cumbent, Nancy Whitten, against

current planning commission member Kathy Richardson.

It’s close with Whitten holding the lead with 53 percent to Richardson’s 46 percent. Whit-

ten has 3,756 votes; Richardson has 3,278. Neither were available for comment in time for Th e Reporter’s deadline.

ISSAQUAHCITY COUNCIL

Joshua Schaer won his seat on Issaquah City Council on Tues-day night, aft er being the only person from the four open seats to be challenged.

Schaer claimed 63 percent of the count as of Wednesday eve-ning, and his challenger, Th omas John Filley, took 37 percent in the Nov. 8 vote.

If that trend continues, Schaer

would be only one of two coun-cilmen next year that had an opponent for their term.

He’s also the only candidate in the past eight years who has been challenged twice.

“We had a positive message, and I think people by and large are happy with how the city is doing,” Schaer said at his election

party at the Is-saquah Brew-house.

Filley sent his congratula-tions to Schaer on Wednesday morning in an email.

“Th ough disappointed

with the outcome,” he wrote. “I recognized from the beginning that it is rare for a newcomer to knock off an incumbent their fi rst time out.”

Schaer was pleased with how much he learned about Issaquah residents through the campaign.

“It caused me to go out there get a pulse of the citizenry,” he said.

Next year Schaer hopes to focus on the Central Area Plan, which will determine what the city looks like in the next 30 years. His concern is how the plan would go about stirring development.

Fred Butler and Stacy Good-

man returned to their seats unchallenged and Paul Winter-stein will take over John Traeger’s position in January.

ISSAQUAHSCHOOL DISTRICT

In the two contested Issaquah School Board races, both incum-bents held to their seats with initial counts in the 60 percen-tile.

“Th e com-munity under-stands that the board is doing a good job,” said incumbent Brian Deagle. “Th ey like what they’ve seen and they want to see more.”

Deagle took 65 percent of the count Wednesday night, and his challenger, Patrick Sansing, took 35 percent.

Incumbent Suzanne Weaver held just as strong with 64 percent of the count, and Chal-lenger Brian Neville took 36 percent.

Anne Moore, who is new to the board, ran unopposed.

Th e school board race had more challengers than the Is-saquah City Council race, but there wasn’t a unifying issue.

Th e challengers really just

wanted to get involved, Weaver said. “Honestly I appreciate that. I applaud that.”

Deagle’s focus in the next term will be to focus on how to continue improving education with continual budget cuts from the state.

Weaver echoed those senti-ments.

“Th e handwriting is on the wall

with governor and what she plans to cut,” she said. “We can’t let those cuts hurt the students.”

Deagle’s focus will also be on moving faster and creating more sustainable changes for future boards, he said.

“Th e message is that we’re do-ing well as a district,” he said. “We want to do even better, and we’re on the right track.”


For the rest of this year, our QFC stores will continue to focus our chari-table efforts on Bringing Hope To the Table, our annual drive to raise both food and cash donations for agencies which are working to feed the hungry. As the effects of our country’s economic recession continue to impact long-term unemployment, more and more people are facing poverty and the prospects of not being able to afford proper food, shelter and health care.

Thanks to the dedication of our store associates and the generosity of our cus-tomers, QFC stores are helping to se-cure critically needed food supplies and money to support the work of our two Bringing Hope To the Table partners: Food Lifeline in Washington and the Oregon Food Bank in our Portland area stores. Food Lifeline states that 96% of its revenue goes directly to feeding hun-gry people and Oregon Food Bank says, “More than 94 cents of every dollar do-nated to OFB goes directly to fighting hunger.”

Last year Food Lifeline delivered more than 24 million meals to hungry people through its network of nearly 300 neigh-borhood food banks, hot meal pro-grams and shelters. From 2005 to 2010, the number of people served by Food Lifeline grew from 550,000 to 686,000, an increase of 24%. Much of the food do-nated to local our QFC stores is targeted by Food Lifeline to supply the part-ner agencies it supports in the same areas those stores serve.

The Oregon Food Bank which has a network of 20 regional food banks and 923 partner agencies saw a 12 percent in-crease in the amount of food it provided from July of 2010 through June of 2011. The Oregon Food Bank distributes food throughout the state and Clark County based on an allocation system that takes each area’s population and poverty sta-tistics into account.

According to statistics provided by Food Lifeline, 37% of the people it serves are children and 12% are seniors; 9% of its clients are homeless. Many Food Life-line clients have had to choose between food and paying for heat or utilities, between food and paying for medicine

or medical care, or be-tween pay-ing for food and paying for rent or mortgage.

For many of us, hunger

is something that only happens for short periods between meals. But for many others chronic hunger is a real problem. Food Lifeline points out that “children who are hungry may be less attentive, independent, and curious. Many hun-gry children have difficulty concentrat-ing; therefore their reading ability and verbal and motor skills suffer.”

“Chronic hunger in adults weakens bones and muscles, increases the risk

of illness, worsens existing health prob-lems, and contributes to depression and lack of energy.”

Individuals who wish to contribute to Bringing Hope To the Table can do so in a number of ways.

They can purchase a $10.00 pre-made bag. Each bag contains seven nutritious food products that will be distributed by Food Lifeline: oatmeal, tuna, diced to-matoes, quick rolled oats, pasta sauce, vegetable beef soup and macaroni and cheese. They can scan a Bringing Hope To the Table” $10 Virtual Bag Donation Card by requesting the cashier to scan a product dona-tion card. Customers can donate their 3¢ Bag Re-use Credit .They can scan $1, or $5 Scan cards at the check stand.Coin boxes located at the check stand will be available for custom-ers to donate their extra coins.

Finally, they can purchase food bank recommended items throughout the store and place them in our donation dump bin. Shelf signs will highlight tar-geted BHTTT items.

ELECTIONCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Sen. Cheryl Pfl ug, R-Maple Valley, is inviting area students ages 14 to 16 to apply to become Senate pages during the upcoming legislative session in Olympia, which runs for 60 days starting Jan. 9.

“The page program provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about our government fi rst hand,” Pfl ug said. “Watch-ing how the laws you live with everyday are made is an amazing education. For students it can be a life-changing experience. Many of the people who go on to serve in public offi ce get their fi rst taste of policy work as a page. Plus, it’s lots of fun making friends with other teens from all over the state.”

Each student serving as a Senate page is sponsored by a senator. They spend a week in Olympia as paid employees, working a regular business day, delivering messages, hand-ing out documents on the fl oor, and running other errands. They also attend page school for two hours during the workday, where they learn important concepts about civics and government.

“My students have said it really gives them a feeling of what it’s like to be a real legislator. I love it when they ask me questions, because it’s exciting to see they’re engaged and interested,” Pfl ug said.

To fi nd out more about the page program or apply to be a page sponsored by Pfl ug, go to www.leg.wa.gov/senate/administration/pageprogram/Pages/default.aspx.
