Brandy Serna could hardly see over the tops of the tables covered in backpacks. She
circled a couple minutes, trying to � nd her favorite when her eyes locked in on a black one.
She pulled the supply-laden bag down, stumbling from the weight of paper and pen-cils inside.
“I can see it on the children’s faces,” said Cassie Elenes, a volunteer at the Issaquah Food and Clothing bank. “� ey get excited when they can pick their own markers and bags.”
With combined help from a number of groups, including Kiwanis, the Issaquah Schools Foundation and various churches, the bank was able to � ll 1,000 bags for underprivi-leged students in the Issaquah School Dis-trict. Sanmar, a local sporting good business, donated all of the bags.
� e most successful drive so far, it’s an
example of how organizations can collaborate to serve the community better, said Cori Kauk, head of the food bank. “I feel this year people in the community are the on the same page.”
It’s important for kids to feel secure and equipped when they start a new school year, she said.
� e bags and supplies, which can cost up-ward of $50 each, are a heavy � nancial burden for the families who already have their kids on the free and reduced lunch programs.
Calls to the food bank for � nancial assis-tance are the highest during periods of transi-tion, including the start of school and a� er Christmas.
“It impacts their ability to pay the PSE bill,” Kauk said.
� e food bank expects to pass out about 600 of the bags before the start of school. � e rest will go to schools for teachers who discover the need in their classrooms.
� ere about 1,700 students in the district who qualify for the bags.

When the � rst bell rings next week, roughly half of Sammamish’s students are in for a new experience.
� e Lake Washington School District — which includes Eastlake High School, Inglewood Middle School and � ve Sam-mamish
elementary schools — has completely changed its format for the 2012 school year.
Eastlake will now include ninth-graders, sending a trickle down e� ect through its feeder schools.
Inglewood takes on sixth, seventh and eighth grade students, while the elementary schools — Blackwell, Carson, Margaret Mead, McAuli� e and Smith — will be kindergarten through � � h grade.
� e district is making the change to deal with increased student enrollment. O� cials estimate without the change the district would have needed four new elementary schools.
“By shi� ing one grade out of elementary and one grade into high schools, where we had extra space not being used, we are using our existing space more e� ciently,” said Kathryn Reith, district spokeswoman.
Reith said the district also considered the importance of making ninth graders feel like they’re a part of the high-school experience.
“No matter how o� en the sta� or parents told them they were in high school for the purposes of high school gradu-ation and applying to college, students just didn’t really get it,” she said.

In the Issaquah garage a motorman, his shirt splotched with oil, makes a few final adjustment to the trolley before starting up the generator that will power it. It’s the final day of testing on the old rail car, and being among the men who restored the car, he’s ready to take the inspector’s final questions.
It couldn’t get any bet-ter, says inspector Tim Borchers. “Normally these restorations are full of bad news.”
With the push of a lever and the press of a foot, motorman John Tarr guides the historic Issaquah Valley Trolley out of the garage. The windows rattle against the thin lines of the hand-carved frames. The work-manship of the lacquered wood molding pops against white panels, which glow from the summer light.
The 1925 car, which will begin taking passengers in
Issaquah this fall, is an em-bodiment of nostalgia for a time when metal wheels passed over the city’s tracks.
“It’s going to bring life to Issaquah,” said Ken Johnsen, a motorman in training.
After pioneering the establishment of an his-toric trolley line in Yakima almost 30 years ago, the rail buff couldn’t be more pleased to drive one in his own backyard.
The plan is that the trol-ley will run from Issaquah’s historic train depot, behind City Hall, to Gilman Vil-
lage. It would effectively connect the historic Front Street to a shopping center built from restored farm homes.
For now, the trolley only makes it to Issaquah Creek, behind Darigold. The city held back some money from the track, in case the trolley restoration hit some snags. If all goes well, a second contract will go out to finish the project. The $745,000 project is being paid for through federal grants, which the city has managed.
The train is taking its
first passengers during fair weather starting Oct. 14, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The Issaquah Valley Trolley group is ask-ing for $2 donations. The operation will stop when winter’s bad weather hits, and it will restart in the spring.
While most of the interior was untouched by the restoration, the tracks on the bottom of the trolley, internal workings, breaks and the motor were replaced. The roof was re-stored inside, but replaced with fiberglass on top.
The federal grant wasn’t enough for the upholstery. The IVT group hopes to replace the mustard-yellow seats, likely a relic from the ‘60s or ‘70s, with future fundraising . The car was originally used in Portugal, when in 1980 it was moved to Colorado, where it sat until the Issaquah History Museums acquired it in 2003.
Issaquah never had a trolley system, which
requires electrical lines to follow the track. To com-pensate, the trolley has a generator that runs in front (or behind, depending on
the direction) of the car.“As far as an antique trol-
ley goes, it’s very unique,” Johnsen said. “You won’t find a car running any-

State assessment scores released Aug. 29, show Issaquah School District stu-dents are continuing to exceed their peers.
In each category, 10-20 percent more of Issaquah’s students passed the reading, writing, math and science tests than the state average.
For a district accustomed to high scores, the trick has been how to stay focused on moving ahead.
“Until you have 100 percent of kids exceeding the standards, there is always work to be done,” said district spokesper-son Sara Niegowski.
Over the next couple of months principals and teachers will be analyzing the scores for the whole district to the individual student. The focus will be both on those who didn’t pass and making sure students who far exceeded expectations are still being challenged.
“This is just the beginning of our work,” said Superintendent Steve Rasmussen in a press release.
The most important figures are for 10th-graders, who need to pass the exam before they can graduate. About 94
percent passed the reading exam and 96 percent passed writing this round.
“It’s really validating to know as a sys-tem we’re getting that many kids through,” Niegowski said
The state also implemented a math requirement, but the tests are given at the end of the year to students in alge-bra and geometry, so the results come from a mix of middle and high school students.
For the rest of students, most scores stayed within a few points of last year. However, there were a few points of inter-est.
Last year elementary students got new science curriculum, which was better aligned with the state’s expectations. While about 5 percent more fifth graders passed the science test this year, the whole state saw a 10 percent jump on the same test.
Issaquah has had a stronger emphasis on teaching science the past couple years, but score changes rarely correlate to one factor, Niegowski said.
After seeing a huge dip in last year’s seventh-grade reading score, the entire state, including Issaquah jumped about 14 percent this year.
“Sometimes when you see a jump like that, it makes you think last year’s test was a bit of an anomaly,” Niegowski said.

A few years ago I was assigned to cover a controver-sial school board meeting in Renton. The room was packed with angry families, who each took a turn
berating the board. Then a teacher from Dimmit Middle School took the podium.
The reason for her unexpected presence was different from the rest.
For several months she and a col-league had been trying to get their princi-pal and then the district to help them get new books for the 13-year-olds in their classroom. The only reading materials they were given, designed to tempt kids into reading, were fi lled with “racy” content. To make a lasting point, the two teachers read from the books.
What came out was an litany of racial slurs, sexual promiscuity and profanity. The audience listened in silence when a father shouted with such disgust that I’ll
never forget, “You gave this stuff to children?”It was an embarrassment. The district rightly responded
by tossing the books the next day, but the teachers never got replacements. For whatever reason, the district didn’t have the resources to equip the classrooms with basic tools. And, unlike Issaquah, Renton didn’t have a schools
foundation to help solve the problem.Once again this year, as it has for two decades, the Is-
saquah School District was able to introduce new curricu-lum to its students, K-5 literacy, with the tremendous help of Issaquah Schools Foundation. The foundation raised money to pay for reading rooms, each loaded with 3,600 books, in 15 elementary schools.
Renton didn’t have that luxury – a community willing to stand up. It wasn’t just a matter of money - Renton takes in about $500 more per student than Issaquah - but a mat-ter of allowing the community to support its priorities.
When Issaquah couldn’t afford to install a new elemen-tary science curriculum two years ago, the foundation stepped up and made it a priority. It’s a partnership that’s paid. Science is important to our white-collar techie fami-lies, but be grateful, even when money goes to the simple stuff.
While literacy curriculum hasn’t been a hot topic for the district, which stretches from Liberty to Skyline, the com-munity should take pride in the $350,000 it gave to make those reading rooms happen. The community’s interest is the key behind Issaquah’s success.

Missed chanceCongress missed an historic op-
portunity to protect our outdoor and recreation heritage recently. Despite the outstanding leadership of our representative, Dave Reichert, and broad support across the Congress, a provision to fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund was stripped dur-ing � nal negotiations on the federal transportation bill.
� e LWCF provides grant funds to protect our local parks, recreation opportunities and wildlife habitat – places like Lake Sammamish State Park and Snoqualmie National Forest.
For me and fellow hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, the access that the fund provides to enjoy public lands is invaluable. When we enjoy the outdoors, it boosts local econo-mies; a report by the Outdoor Indus-try Association found that outdoor recreation contributes $256 billion to the Western economy each year.
� e program doesn’t even use taxpayer dollars. It’s is funded from a fraction of the proceeds from federal o� shore oil and gas leasing royalties.
I’m proud that my congressman fought to protect our hunting, � shing and love-of-the-outdoors traditions for the next generation, and I hope he continues to work to make sure the fund receives funds it deserves. � is program is too important to our economy and quality of life and that is something we can all get behind.

WOMAN GOES WILD IN PUBLIC
An employee of a Klahanie restaurant called police Aug. 17 to report unruly activity by a female customer.
� e 47-year-old Sam-mamish woman, who appeared highly intoxicated was exposing herself to customers by undressing in the parking lot and provok-ing customers by � ipping them o� .
� e woman then entered the restaurant bar and started taking her clothes o� .
A� er making a scene, the woman got in her car and took o� . She was spotted driving through Samma-mish by police and pulled over on Inglewood Hill Road.
� e woman, who in a previous arrest kicked out the window of a patrol car, was placed under arrest for DUI for drug use and taken to the Issaquah Jail.
SIGN VS. VANSammamish police
responded to a call of a vehicle being struck by a � agger in a construction zone Aug. 17.
� e white van was travel-ing in the 23000 block of Northeast Eighth Street where the driver said his vehicle was purposely struck by a � agger holding a stop sign.
� e construction worker said the van was traveling at a high rate of speed as he approached the site and that he was motioned at to slow down. � e worker said when the sign was shown for the driver to stop, he did, but not in time as he collided with the sign.
Police were unable to determine who was telling the truth. � ere was no sig-ni� cant damage done to the van, only a black smudge that was easily rubbed o� .
DIRT BIKE DUDAn apartment complex
manager called police Aug. 23 to report that a resident was recklessly driving his dirt bike through the
property on Inglewood Hill Road and damaging the landscaping.
Video evidence showed a rider wearing a helmet ride up a grass covered embankment, with several tire tracks in it, and use the lip of a curb to jump into a highly-used parking lot.
Police attempted to con-tact the alleged driver, who did not answer the door. Because no faces were seen in the video, police could not be certain who was rid-ing the bike.
MYSTERY TAMPONA Kirkland woman called
police Aug. 24 to report that someone stuck an un-used sanitary napkin to the grill of her SUV while she was at work in Sammamish.
� e victim wanted to document the case in case it was the beginning of some form of harassment.
RACIST VANDALSA City of Sammamish
worker called police Aug. 22 to report a burglary and vandalism at Beaver Lake Park.
� e worker found a supply shed opened and a John Deere tractor taken for a joy ride. � e machine caused substantial damage to the � eld.
Vandals used a sharp
stripe paint machine to write several racist, satanic and obscene phrases in the parking lot and walkways. � e gra� ti included a swas-tika and the phrase “Hail Satan.”
Police are unsure how the vandals entered the shed, but there didn’t appear to be any forced entry.
HEFTY HEISTA Sammamish couple
called police Aug. 21 to report someone broke into their home while they were away camping and stole more than $18,000 in items.

The BlotterPolice reports from Issaquah and Sammamish
BY KEVIN [email protected]
A 4-year-old girl died Tuesday night in Sammamish in what police believe was a tragic accident.
� e girl, who initially reported by authorities to be 7, died as the result of a possible accidental strangulation while playing with a jump rope in the Samantha Smith Elementary School playground.
Police responded 6:30 p.m., Aug. 28 a� er a 911 call was received. � e victim and her twin brother were at the school playground with an adult, live-in caretaker.
� e girl had reportedly been playing with a jump rope sometime before the incident happened. At some point the caretaker and the 4-year-old boy went to a nearby location to pick blackberries while the girl stayed on the playground.
When the caretaker and boy returned to the play-ground they found the girl on the slide with the rope around her neck. She was rushed to a Overlake Hospi-tal where she died soon a� er.
Police said foul play is not suspected and the initial indication is that the death was an accident.
� e King County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine cause of death.
� e King County Sheri� ’s O� ce will also be con-ducting an investigation as is the protocol for child deaths.
Detectives said there was a substantial language bar-rier during the initial investigation and the caretaker was extremely distraught making it di� cult to initially get information.
� e victim was unnamed as of � e Reporter’s deadline. Go to www.issaquahreporter.com or www.sammamish-reporter.com for updates.

Susie Smith, a literacy specialist, browsed through the 3,600 new books in Issaquah Valley Elementary’s hidden book room, pleased with the accomplishment.
New literacy curriculum is a rare site. It’s been 10 years for Issaquah.
This round of new lessons isn’t just about hav-ing books with bindings intact, it’s an opportu-nity for elementary teachers to approach reading with a new philosophy: All students don’t learn at the same pace.
“It’s very exciting,” said Smith, who helped choose the new books. “I’ve never been in a dis-trict where this was adopted in one swoop.”
As a part of the new program, each of the dis-trict’s 15 elementary schools received thousands of new books, labeled A-Z for students’ abilities.
At Issaquah Valley, Smith flips through an A-level book, which is made up of a dozen pages. It’s also a lesson for kindergartners about why people wear glasses. On the opposite end sits a blue tub marked “Z,” which is full of novels that promise a good read.
While the school’s PTA started the book room a year ago, this year’s editions were made pos-sible by a $350,000 donation from the Issaquah Schools Foundation.
Without the foundation, the new reading pro-gram wouldn’t be complete, said Emilie Hard, executive director of teaching and learning.
There are three parts to the program – book rooms, lectures and small groups.
The district is spending about $1 million in new lesson plans and teacher training. It’s also committed to having part-time literacy support teachers at each school for the next few years.
The small group instruction time is an op-portunity for teachers to focus on various skill levels. With the system, third and fourth grade teachers could be pulling books from the same bins.
Teachers want to challenge students, but not
to the point where they can’t pick it up, Hard said. “One size doesn’t fit all anymore.”
The district also is adopting the approach that students need to spend more time in class reading.
“You learn by doing,” Smith explained.The old curriculum was composed of a stack
of hardcover anthologies packed with short sto-ries, excerpts and poetry. Students from all levels read the same material, whether it was too little or too much of a challenge.
It also wasn’t teaching kids to enjoy reading, Hard said. “We’re teaching students this is how you become a good reader.”

Brad Malloy knows that change brings challenges, but Eastlake’s third-year princi-pal is thrilled with the direction things are headed.
For the first time in the Lake Washington School District’s 68-year history, the district is shifting to four-year high schools, middle schools and kindergarten through fifth grade elementary schools.
“I appreciate getting the kids a year earli-er, getting that year of transition over a year earlier and having perhaps a longer period of time of educational success going into their post-high school years,” said Malloy, noting kids often had trouble buying into the idea they were actually in high school while on a junior high campus.
With the addition of 400 freshmen, the temporary housing of the district’s Sci-ence, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) school and the addition of the Re-naissance School, Eastlake will have 1,950 to 2,000 students on its campus at the start
of the school year. Malloy estimated there was only 1,250 students last year.
The increased population certainly changes the atmosphere on campus, but it’s nothing school officials say they can’t handle.
Eastlake underwent a serious remodel, adding a new wing with 14 new classrooms, a new gymnasium and a mezzanine in the
cafeteria that’s capable of seating 200 more students.
The school also made additions to its staff, hiring 36 new employees — several of which have experience at the junior high level.
Returning students will also play a key role in the transition. Approximately 165 juniors and seniors were selected to partici-
pate in Link Crew, a program that shows new freshman and sophomores around.
“On the first day of school we’re going to be really utilizing our upperclassmen to help welcome the students, really kind of show them around, talk with them about how to be successful here at Eastlake,” Mal-loy said.
While change is significant at the high-school level, it also has a large impact on those in middle school.
Two-thirds of Inglewood Middle School’s 1,075 students are new to the campus this year, with only the incoming eighth graders having been at the school before.
Principal Tim Patterson said Inglewood became proactive last year bringing every student in the fifth and sixth grade in Ingle-wood’s district to campus for a tour and a

lunch. Last year’s seventh graders, about 20 percent of the
student body, also went through a leadership course. Pat-terson, who is entering his sixth year as principal, said he hopes the course will help maintain what he considers a very important tradi-tion at Inglewood.
“We had what we thought was a pretty positive culture so we’re paying a lot of attention to students this year to ensure that we rebuild a healthy, kind student culture,” he said.
Inglewood also saw several hires. Of its 47 teachers, 20 are new to the school. Patterson said 12 of the new teachers are sixth-grade teachers from area elementary schools —
something he hopes will make the transition smoother.Along with the implementation of a 1:1 computing pro-
gram that ensures every student has a Netbook or laptop, Patterson said he’s looking forward to seeing what the new middle school format can do for Inglewood.
“I feel it has a lot of potential to improve student learn-ing, improve the student experience and just take Ingle-wood to the next level,” he said.

The Lake Washington School District avoided another round of state cuts to its 2012-13 budget while creating a spending plan with a $18.2 million cushion for possible future shortfalls.
“We want to make sure we are reserving funds in case there are more state cuts,” said Barbara Post-humus, business services coordinator for the district.
The district’s board of directors unanimously approved a $238.8 million
general fund spending plan Aug. 6 and $151.1 million for the capital fund, which includes voter-approved construction and technol-ogy projects. The district operates schools in the Sammamish area.
Over the previous two years, the state has cut $9.1 million in funding for the district, forcing officials to decrease district programs. This year the state did not make any significant slashes — or additions — to education.

Q Last year was a pretty good year for the
district, anything you want to tout?
A Number one, the bond issue passed 70 percent
plus. In order to have that to happen, an army of com-munity members had to be involved.
Another was the implementation of our K-5 science program, which re-ally helped add rigor and a much more relevant science curriculum.
QDistricts have been transitioning their
alternative schools over the past few years to make them more focused on career and tech. Is that the vision for Tiger Mountain High School?
A We’re just at the begin-ning of the process.
With the hiring of Michael Schiehser (as principal) at Tiger Mountain and the passage of the bond issue,
it gives us a chance to really look at the focus of Tiger Mountain. Once students graduate high school, we would really like them to be focused on career paths, so they have a better idea of what to do next. The recon-struction of Tiger will take place in the next 3-4 years. Before that happens, we’re going to be thinking about how we might reconfigure the school.
QHow are you feeling about your budget this
year?
A There weren’t any state funding cuts to educa-
tion for us to start this new year. After three years of cuts of over $16 million, we were happy to see the zero cuts.
The latest state budget forecast is in the black, which is always a good sign. We’ve still got a long ways to go from where it was.
QWhat are your thoughts on charter
schools?
A First, I always remind folks, that’s up to the
voters. Whatever I think about it is interesting, but it doesn’t have much impact.
Charter schools will not impact the districts around here, particularly because of how the charter bill has been written. It identi-
fies the lower-performing schools. The thing about the Issaquah district is we have great schools that people are trying to get into.
Personally, I don’t think it’s (charter schools) a good thing for education. We have bigger issues to deal with. Some people are really convinced it’s going to change things. So far, throughout the country, it hasn’t, but it’s up to the people.
QWhat do you feel is the biggest challenge for
your students?
A It’s the balance between school and home life,
with all the more expecta-tions on our kids to do well academically, to be involved in their community and to be active in outside activi-ties. We also aren’t reducing the academic rigor and expectations for our kids. There is even more push for our kids to go on to post-secondary education.
QMost young kids are encouraged to pursue
their dreams. What was yours?
A My dream was to be a vocational agriculture
teacher, and that’s what I became. I grew up on a big farm, and I really enjoyed school, and I really enjoyed
being engaged in the farm-ing operation. So that’s what I pursued in college. What really pushed me that direction - I had a great teacher.
QWhat are you looking forward to most this
coming school year?
A Last year we imple-mented the new sci-
ence curriculum. We’re do-ing the same thing with the new K-5 literacy program.
The other thing is we’re moving into several of the new facilities. That in-cludes the new Briarwood Elementary, upgrade of Maywood Middle School, remodel at Challenger Elementary and ending phase 1 of the Liberty High School project.
The last thing I’d throw in there is working in implementing this new principal-teacher evalua-tion program. The intent was to find a better way of identifying teachers who are good at teaching and those who are not.

When Skyline senior quarterback Max Browne announced he would continue his football career and education at the University of South-ern California after graduating from Skyline in 2013, he and head coach Mat Taylor sat in front of a projector screen as highlights from the senior’s career played in the background. Scenes of a much younger, slightly built Browne slinging touchdowns in the Skyline junior football system gave a clearer picture into the foundation of one of the nation’s top quarterbacks. Taylor has had an inside-view of that construction project.
“My first memory of him is just be-ing Mitch Browne’s little curly haired brother,” Taylor said. “He was always on the field, running around.”
Max’s elder brother Mitch was part of the first class of seniors to graduate from Skyline after it opened in 1997 and also won a state title in his senior year, setting the program’s string of state titles in motion. In 2012, it will again be little brother’s turn to add to the legacy of a program that now includes six state championships and a host of Division I quarterbacks, of which he may be the best yet.
“The year you remember most is your senior year,” Browne said. “Leav-ing a legacy is something we’re focused on, and it means going out and win-ning games and winning a state title.”
While the nation’s top-rated signal caller in the class of 2013 and the rest of the offense are expected to once again hit the ground running, the de-fense is more of a question mark with new additions to the staff and lingering concerns from an up-and-down 2011.
Opponents averaged only 15.5 points per game in four state tourna-ment games last year, but difficulties
against the run played a role in losses to Bellevue and Lake Oswego (Ore.), when the Spartans allowed six touch-downs to one Laker running back.
Don Bartel, the head coach at Enum-claw last season and a longtime friend of Taylor, will resume the defensive coordinator duties and Maui Borden, an assistant at rival Eastlake in recent years, also comes to the defensive staff.
“It’s going to be a totally different
defense with a totally different energy,” Taylor said. “Our whole emphasis is defense and special teams.”
Bartell is surely excited to have the services of senior linebacker Peyton Pelluer, a Washington State commit.
“We just want to focus on speed and flying to the ball,” Pelluer said. “The difference I’ve seen is the speed and tempo of the defense.”
That unit will be tested extensively in the non-conference, as Skyline opens the year against Bothell before traveling to the Kibbie Dome in Moscow for a showdown with last year’s 5A Idaho state champions from Coeur D’Alene.
Pelluer is confident the group of more than 30 seniors will rise to the occasion in their final season together.
“We’ve been with each other through it all, through thick and thin,” he said. “We’re all such a tight-knit group. It’s a real cool thing.”
Senior quarterback Max Browne, left and senior linebacker Peyton Pelluer have played together since the third. josh suman, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

For Issaquah players and coaches, the start of the 2012 season cannot ar-rive fast enough.
After reaching the 4A state playoffs for three straight years, the Eagles were bounced in the round of 32 last season, ending their season prematurely and leaving an unpleasant taste that lin-gered throughout the offseason.
But with a 1,000 yard rusher return-ing in Jack Gellatly and host of wide re-ceivers including Reed Peterson, coach Chris Bennett’s squad looks primed for redemption in 2012.
“It definitely left a sour taste for a lot of us,” Peterson said. “The seniors this year want to get the program back.”
If the Eagles hope to regain their place in the top tier of the Crest, it will likely start with defense. In three losses last year, the Eagles allowed 41 points to Skyline, 44 to Eastlake and 47 to state runner-up Skyview in the play-in round.
Senior linebacker and all-league performer Eric Rauch said discipline has been a major point of emphasis throughout spring ball, summer work-outs and fall camp and that principle has the ability to pay dividends on the field.
“It’s completely different from last year,” Rauch said. “I’ve seen a difference even during the summer.”
The key for Bennett and the Eagles now is translating those details onto the field in the notoriously difficult Crest, which means games against the defending state champions from Sky-line and Nevada-commit Isaac Dotson
at Newport. Bennett said maintaining composure
against top-level foes is another impor-tant step this team will need to take in order to return to the state tournament.
“They are going to make their plays and you just try to limit it where you can,” Bennett said. “We feel like if we do things right on our end, we will have a chance against anyone.”
Offensively, the Eagles must replace Ethan Kalin at quarterback but have the luxury of surrounding their new
signal-caller with a bevy of experienced skill players.
The hard-nosed Gellatly leads that group after breaking out in 2011 for more than 1,000 yards rushing while wide receiver Reed Peterson provides an explosive option on the edge.
“We have a lot of threats in our re-ceiving corps,” Gellatly said. “I’m going to do everything I can in the run game so we can have that balanced attack.”
Issaquah will open the season with three 3A opponents, including last year’s state runner-up from O’Dea, before opening conference play at Newport in week four. A manage-able middle portion of the schedule that includes three consecutive games against perennial bottom-feeders from Roosevelt, Garfield and Ballard should provide all the seasoning necessary for the regular-season finale against the Spartans.
Left to right, Reed Peterson, Jack Gellatly and Eric Rauch hope to get the Eagles back to the 4A state tournament after being bounced in the play-in round in 2011. Josh suman, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Last season was a year unlike any other for the Eastlake football program. But that doesn’t mean the Wolves are content living in the past.
After taking down Plateau rival Sky-line for the first time in school history and making only the program’s third run to the 4A state quarterfinals, coach Gene Dales’ squad is now tasked with replacing all 22 starters while navigat-ing the new-look Crown Division of 4A KingCo.
“Our guys are definitely ready to re-place the kids that raised the bar again last year,” Dales said. “When their turn comes, they will be ready.”
Gone are dynamic running back Ryan Lewis and quarterback Keegan Kemp, who were responsible for the majority of the offensive production on last year’s historic run. A trio that in-cludes a Kentwood transfer in Richard Thomas, a senior-in-waiting in Grant Beahm and Ryan Pladson, another senior that missed all of 2011 with an injury, could all provide a burst for the offense in Kemp’s absence, according to Dales.
While the running back position will also lack experience, the Wolves have a host of players ready to step into in-creased roles on the outside, including senior wide receiver Cameron Nelson and safety DK Thornton.
While both understand the uphill challenge presented by replacing the entirety of last year’s starting lineup, neither was willing to discount the idea that this year’s group could again set a new standard.
“You want to top that and do better than you did last year,” Nelson said. “It
kind of motivated us.” The Wolves will be after a third
straight state playoff appearance this year, a feat never before accomplished in school history, and hope the lessons of the past two seasons can allow them to reap the benefits. Dales emphasized the importance of a brotherhood within the program and said he has been pleased to see that mantra remain a focus for 2012.
“We’re a close-knit group,” he said. “We’re ready to take it out on the field.”
The first opportunity to do that will come on Saturday in Oregon against Lakeridge (Lake Oswego) before the Wolves return to face Metro foes East-side Catholic and Seattle Prep.
The most intriguing game of the sea-son could come in the Crown Division opener against Bothell in week four.
A win at Pop Keeney could be a springboard to another division title and likely the only way Eastlake will match up with Skyline, as the Spartans remained in the Crest when divisions changed in the spring.
While players and coaches were mostly quiet on the topic of their Pla-teau rivals, Nelson and Thornton said a shot to face a respected opponent that also happens to be just up the road is always a benefit.
“If it comes to it,” Nelson said. “That would be a great thing.”

When most people around Wash-ington state think about Metro League football, one name comes to mind: O’Dea. If Eastside Catholic quarterback Trey Reynolds has his way, the Irish will soon have some company.
After winning conference player of the year honors on offense in 2011, Reynolds is back with a host of experi-enced receivers to take another run at dethroning last season’s Metro Champs and 3A state runner-up and earning only the second state semi-final trip in school history.
“It’s all coming together this year,” Reynolds said. “It just feels good.”
The Crusaders reached the first round of the state tournament last year before falling to eventual champion Bellevue. But one week prior, Eastside came from behind to defeat Oak Har-bor on the road in the defining game of the season. Thielbahr and Reynolds both said that performance was a sign of things to come and indicative of the attitude inside the program headed into 2012.
“We just learned we can finish tough games,” Reynolds said. “It was that mo-ment we kind of peaked as a team and realized, we would have a shot.”
Washington State commit Markell Sanders will be one of the primary targets for Reynolds this season after what his coach called an outstanding offseason. Peter Kimball will provide another experienced pass catcher while Henry Jarvis takes over Chevy Walker’s former spot in the backfield and should give the Crusaders a more physical presence than the departed Walker, who ran with more of a slashing style.
“With our offense, it’s more of a downhill offense,” Thielbahr said. “We think we could be even improved in that area.”
But more than personnel or even
scheme, continuity is the main theme for the Crusaders in 2012 after having a complete season to digest the expec-tations of the current coaching staff. This year, the focus has shifted to fine tuning the details in an effort to take another step in the building process.
“Before, we were working on a lot of things,” Reynolds said. “Now, we’re
perfecting them.” One of the first points of emphasis
for Thielbahr was ramping up the level of competition during the non-league schedule, which this year means dates with Liberty and Eastlake. When conference play begins, it will likely be familiar rivals in Seattle Prep and O’Dea standing in the way of a top seed and Metro League championship game berth.
“We want to start a tradition of Eastside being that team,” Reynolds said. “By starting off beating O’Dea and Prep, if we can do that, it sets that standard for Eastside.”
Thielbahr said regaining the upper hand in the traditional rivalry games will undoubtedly be a measuring stick for the program, but added that keep-ing the focus in-house is still of the utmost importance.
“The kids get excited to play them,” he said. “But it’s more about us and how we play, making sure we are doing things the right way.”

The event will be at 1 p.m. and include a walking tour of Dudley Carter sculptures.

Carter has many carvings in the area, including at Crossroads
Bellevue Mall.Denny’s Pet World in Kirkland is searching for a missing “baby,” a Cheek Conure parrot that was stolen in mid-August. The staff has hand fed bird since it was young. The parrot is valued at $600. While the birds are not rare, the un-usual turquoise coloring of this specific bird may have made it a target. Kirkland recently
recorded its second home-invasion robbery in three days. A 26-year-old man was transported to Harborview Medical Cen-ter Aug. 26 after he was shot at his home around 10 p.m. in the Juanita neighborhood.Microsoft unveiled its new logo Aug. 23. It’s the Redmond company’s first change of its logo in 25 years.

Around TownWhat’s happening in
Issaquah and Sammamish
Four injured in Highlands construction accident
Four construction workers were injured, one seriously, Aug. 24 when a wall in the Issaquah Highlands collapsed on them.
Eastside Fire and Rescue officials said the workers were hoisting a pre-build 16x20-foot wooden wall into place when it fell and trapped one of them in the 900 block of NE 3rd Court.
One man was transported to Harbor-view Medical Center, while the others were sent to nearby hospitals with less serious injuries.
Duthie Hill Road work continues through November
Commuters who regularly travel be-tween Sammamish and Fall City will have to look for an alternate route for the next three months.
The King County Road Services Divi-sion began construction Aug. 16 to replace the more than 60-year-old Patterson Creek Bridge located on Southeast Duthie Hill Road, near State Route 202. Work on the narrow two-lane bridge is expected to run through Nov. 16.
The bridge, located between Samma-mish and Fall City, was built in 1951 and its creosote-treated timber supports are decaying. When complete, the replacement bridge will increase safety and improve traffic flow for the more than 5,200 vehicles that use the road daily. The current bridge is 24 feet wide with narrow shoulders, and the new bridge will be 38 feet wide with two 11-foot-wide traffic lanes and 8-foot-wide shoulders.
A posted detour will direct drivers to Old Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road.
MidMountain Contractors Inc. is al-lowed to work daytime hours seven days a week. Support pilings for the new bridge are scheduled to be installed later this month. Approaches to the bridge will be built on Geofoam – rigid light-weight Styrofoam – that will better support the roadway across the weak peat soils and avoid settling.
The project cost is $3.1 million.
Lake Sammamish kokanee volunteers sought
The Kokanee Work Group is seeking vol-unteers to report spawning kokanee salmon this fall in creeks feeding Lake Sammamish. Volunteers will be asked to survey creek
sections once a week during the 2012-2013 spawning season from October through January.
Trout Unlimited of Bellevue-Issaquah will register volunteers wishing to partici-pate.
Fish biologist Hans Berge will make a presentation at a public meeting of Trout Unlimited at the Issaquah Brew House, 35 W Sunset Way at 7 p.m. Sept. 12. He will discuss plans and actions to restore the threatened kokanee population in Lake Sammamish. He also will be available to answer questions about counting spawn-ers and the training to be offered in late September.
Volunteers needed to count those who bicycle, walk
Volunteers in Issaquah are needed this September to capture a snapshot of walk-ing and bicycling in communities across Washington state.
The Washington State Department of Transportation need more than 300 volunteers to help conduct the fifth annual bicycle and pedestrian survey from Sept. 25-27. Organizations like FeetFirst and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington also will be involved.
“Volunteers are key to the success of this project,” said Ian Macek, WSDOT bicycle and pedestrian coordinator. “With their help, we are able to count bicycle and pedestrians in 35 cities across the state. The counts help us more accurately gauge where pedestrian and bicycle trails and lanes are being used, and where they are needed.”
Past surveys showed that bicycle use is highest on trails, bridges and in downtown areas. The highest pedestrian counts were recorded near universities, in downtowns, near transit stations and in neighborhoods.
The information gathered this fall will be used to track progress toward the state’s goal of increasing bicycling and walking in Washington. In addition, WSDOT’s survey will become part of the National Documentation Project, an annual bicycle and pedestrian count and survey effort that is sponsored by the Institute of Transpor-tation Engineers Pedestrian and Bicycle Council.
Those who are interested in helping can learn more by visiting WSDOT’s Bicycling website, or by contacting Cascade Bicycle Club at [email protected] or 206-204-0913.
CorrectionA car show will be held Saturday, Sept. 8
in the Sammamish Highlands Parking lot. An incorrect date was mentioned on the Aug. 24 Reporter.

An Issaquah man was arrested ear-lier this month in the first known use of Washington state’s revised Implied Consent Law for mandatory blood draws on Felony DUI arrests.
The driver, Wiyual Rut, 32, also faces enhanced penalties for having three children in the vehicle at the time of the stop.
On Aug. 19, just 18 days after the re-vised Implied Consent Law took effect in Washington, a King County trooper pulled Rut over for what would have previously been a standard DUI arrest.
Just before midnight a black Nissan Pathfinder was stopped on eastbound Interstate 90 for lane travel viola-tions. Following an investigation for DUI, Rut was placed under arrest and a Special Evidence blood draw was performed.
Rut’s driving record indicated he had four prior DUI convictions within the past 10 years, making this investigation for Felony DUI.
Under the old rules, Rut would have had the right to refuse the test, but would have lost his license for one year.
The Aug. 1 revision of the Implied Consent Law allowed for a blood draw for Felony DUI without the consent of the suspect.
At the time of the stop Rut had four other occupants in the vehicle which included three children under 3.
The enhanced penalties for minors in the vehicle at the time of a Felony DUI arrest went into effect on June 7, 2012. The enhancement adds 12 months to the Felony-DUI sentence for each child.
Rut was booked into King County Jail and has been charged with Felony DUI, with notice of the three child enhancements.
Ruts’ bail was set at $530,00.
