Let the salmon run begin.While the tenacious fish have

yet to crest the Issaquah Creek on the way to their spawning ground – and the hatchery — the 2014 salmon run is underway. Many species have already made their way through the Ballard Locks this summer. Sadly, at least for sockeye salmon, the number through the fish ladder has dipped very low.

“Unfortunately, we aren’t get-ting the number we had hoped for in this sockeye run,” said Dani Kendall, program assis-tant to the Cedar River Salmon Journey at the Ballard Locks.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife predicted 167,000 sockeye, typically the first species to return, would make their way in from the Pacific as instincts draw them home to spawn. Kendall said so far, only 50,000 have come through the Ballard Locks.

“The run got off to a late start,” she said. “In mid-July, there was an average of 2,000 a week com-

ing through the locks, then it just tapered off. It’s unfortunate, con-sidering the high projection.”

As for why the prediction fell so short of the mark, Kendall said the figurative jury was still out.

“I wish I had an answer, but I don’t,” she said.

Jane Kuechle, executive direc-tor at the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, said the chi-nook numbers are low as well and will also arrive late. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife forecasted 4,703 of the species will show up at hatch-eries this years. So far, that’s not the case.

“For the last two years, they have began arrive at in the last week of August,” Kuechle said. “But they’ve been slow coming in the Ballard Locks.”

She said she did not know what hampered the salmon in coming back to their home waters, but said it might have to do with warming ocean waters driving the fish into inland pass-es, where more predators hunt.

Like many teenagers, John Hughes got into an activity because his friends were doing it, and more than a decade later, Hughes is the one who has become a leader and positive influence.

During his sophomore year at Eastlake High School, Hughes got involved with the Civil Air Patrol, a nationwide body of civilian aviators who have served as the official auxiliary branch of the U.S. Air Force since 1948.

“At first, I didn’t think it was the type of thing I’d be inter-ested in,” said Hughes, a 2005 Eastlake graduate who lives in Woodinville and works for Google Maps.

“A lot of people get into it

specifically to try to learn how to fly, or as a head start on a military career, but that’s not really what I was after.”

His initial intentions aside, Hughes’ discipline and dedi-cation have taken him far in the Civil Air Patrol. On July 15, the 27-year-old was named commander of the Overlake Composite Squadron, a Redmond-based unit that has 15 senior members and 60 cadets under age 20.

After graduating from Eastlake, Hughes attended Central Washington University, where he earned a degree in geographic information systems. He also served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, attaining the rank of sergeant before his retirement.

Hughes’ military service

has greatly influenced his time with CAP, where he’s reached the rank of major. While some senior members and cadets may not have military ties, they’re likely to get a taste for what it’s like to be a Marine, soldier or sailor by working with Hughes.

“A really strong sense of work ethic definitely comes out of the Marines … and you’re exposed to small-unit leaders who really strongly care about their people and getting things done quickly and correctly,” Hughes said. “Having those people as role models really did a lot for me.”

CAP, which has more than 34,000 senior members and 24,000-plus cadets nationwide, has three primary missions: Aerospace education, cadet pro-grams and emergency services.

Eastlake alum flying high with Civil Air PatrolHughes said the Overlake

squadron is particularly focused on training cadets. They meet regularly, with the expressed purpose of engaging with peers, molding leadership skills and managing projects.

Parents to get dueling lettersBy John HigginsSeattle Times education reporter

Because most Washington school districts don’t have 100 percent of their students passing state math and reading tests, the federal No Child Left Behind law says the districts must send let-ters to families explaining why.

But the districts don’t have to like it, and 28 school superin-tendents have jointly written a second letter they will send along with the first, explaining why they think their schools are doing much better than the No Child letters make it seem.

“Some of our state’s and dis-tricts’ most successful and highly recognized schools are now being labeled ‘failing’ by an antiquated law that most educators and elected officials — as well as the U.S. Department of Education — acknowledge isn’t working,” the cover letter states.

The letter is signed by John Welch, superintendent of the Puget Sound Educational Service District, which represents the 28 districts.

The signees also include the Issaquah and Lake Washington school districts.

They announced the protest letter at an event Aug. 13.

Seattle Public Schools did not sign it, but supports the letter’s sentiments, a spokeswoman said.

In the Issaquah School District, no schools have reached 100 percent passing, said L Michelle, district spokeswoman. She noted that the sanctions under No Child Left Behind only apply to schools that receive Federal Title I money. This likely applies to only three schools in the district, none in Sammamish. As a result, only parents at those three schools will be receiving the letters.

The state has yet to release official test scores, so which

development aspect,” Hughes said.

“If you were to attend a CAP meeting … you’d find cadets are running the show from start to finish,” he said. “The cadets do a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of planning.”

Cadets learn the his-tory of aviation and space exploration programs, and they’re given a wide array of hands-on learning oppor-tunities. The Air Force pays for up to 10 flights per cadet, giving children as young as 14 the chance to sit in the cockpit and learn the controls from licensed pilots.

One of the Overlake squadron’s most popular educational events is an annual weeklong flight academy in Ephrata, where a cadet with little to no experience can earn their student pilot certifi-cate, a precursor to flying solo.

The squadron has a small fleet of single-engine aircraft – mostly Cessna 172s and 182s – that are used for training purposes and emergency missions.

Most recently, Overlake CAP members have assist-ed with aerial surveillance efforts at the Oso mudslide site in Snohomish County, and at the Carlton Complex fire in central Washington, the largest wildfire in state history.

At a July 15 ceremony

in Redmond, Hughes took command of the squadron from Maj. Bill Gibbs, who had led the group for the past 18 months. Senior members regularly rotate leadership duties, Hughes explained, a helpful thing because everyone knows how to do multiple jobs.

Hughes admitted he needed direction and structure as a teenager, and he got it from CAP. As squadron commander, he’s trying to pass on the same lessons.

“Really, it’s a very meaningful thing for me, because I had such incred-ible mentorship from other people who had this posi-tion,” he said. “… I view it as an incredible opportu-nity to provide mentorship to other young people.”

Should this salmon run prove light, Kendall said one additional possible cause could be an old con-cern.

“It’s all about storm water run off,” she said. “That is a large problem, especially in our water-shed.”

A large storm can sweep salmon eggs out of streams before they hatch. Since the fish typically live three to four years before they come back to spawn, there can be a lag between the cause and the effect.

To expand conserva-tion efforts, Kendall said the public presentation at the Ballard Locks and at hatcheries like Issaquah’s worked very well to edu-cate the public.

“It’s great to show people the full journey the salmon make,” she said. “You really get a great understanding of what’s right in your back yard.

Even if the fish made

their way through the locks in time, Kuechle said the Issaquah Creek would cur-rently keep the fish at bay.

“The creek is also very, very low and they need cold water before they head up the creek,” she said. “So they may hang out in Lake Sammamish for a while.”

Larry Franks, a master docent and member of the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery board said the local hatchery will not see all the fish that come through the Ballard Locks.

“Bear in mind that these are totals for the Lake Washington basin, includ-ing the Cedar River, so not all of these numbers are expected to show up at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery,” he said, estimat-ing around 50 to 80 percent of the salmon end up in Issaquah. “One of the chal-lenges here is, you’ve got all of your data coming up with the prediction, but you have a lot of factors you just don’t have control over.”

Franks said the hatchery

will most certainly reach its state-mandated chi-nook egg quota, which will require 900 pairs of fish. Still, the numbers could look better.

“It will be an OK run, but not an outstanding run,” he said.

Officials will continue

counting salmon at the locks through Aug. 6. In the meanwhile, Kuechle invites everyone interested to join the first open volun-teer meeting with Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery Aug. 23.

schools will get letters is unclear.

In the Lake Washington School District, parents at four schools, none of them in Sammamish, will be receiving the letters, said Kathryn Reith, district spokeswoman.

As a result, Sammamish parents won’t be getting either letter, at least not this time around.

Reith said that Lake Washington signed on because even though it only applies to a few schools, that list will likely grow, and more and more families will be hearing that their school, or the entire district, has been labeled “failing.”

Critics say the federal education law, known as No Child Left Behind, is long overdue for a rewrite in Congress, where Republicans and Democrats agree it’s not working but disagree on how to fix it.

The 2001 law required all states to create their own standards for reading and math and work toward ensuring every student reaches them, including students with disabilities and those who don’t speak English as their first lan-guage. The deadline, set in 2001, was 2014.

Recognizing that few if any districts would hit that target, the Obama adminis-tration granted most states a waiver from some of the law’s requirements in exchange for adopting cer-tain reforms, including the use of student test scores in teacher evaluations, a move some think should be challenged in federal court.

In April, Washington became the first state in the country to lose its waiver because it does not mandate districts to use student scores on state tests as part of judging how well teachers do their jobs. That meant the letters, which Washington schools haven’t had to send for a few years, now must go to parents.

The federal government has said that it’s important

to notify parents about the reasons a school is judged subpar, what it’s doing to improve and how parents can get involved. Some schools will be required to notify parents if their chil-dren are eligible for outside tutoring.

Seattle Public Schools did not sign the letter because it is seeking rein-statement of the waiver for its own schools, arguing that its unique teacher-evaluation system, nego-tiated with the teachers union, meets the federal requirements.

The letters must be sent 14 days before school starts.

cutting it when it comes to meeting the requirements of the McCleary decision, school officials believe.

“Though a billion dol-lars sounds like a lot, when you split it over two years and divide it by 295 school districts, you see it translates to a rather min-ute increase in the propor-tion of state revenue,” said Jake Kuper, the Issaquah district’s chief of finance and operations.

The district held a public hearing on the annual budget at the Aug. 13 school board meeting. The board is scheduled to adopt the budget Aug. 27.

State money, as a per-centage of the district’s total revenues, are still substantially lower than the 2008-09 school year, when the national reces-sion yet. Issaquah will get $118.9 million – nearly 62 percent of its income – from the state in 2014-15, but that’s down from 68 percent six years ago.

And while the $5.4 mil-lion increase is welcome, much of that will simply help the district keep pace with projected enrollment growth. Officials expect an additional 325 students in the coming year.

“It’s not all just magic new money,” school board

member Suzanne Weaver said.

Officials said one of the major reasons Issaquah continues to have stable budgets is the decision to keep relatively low admin-istrative costs. Issaquah devotes a smaller percent-age of its budget to admin-istrators than any King County school district – the county average is 11.3 percent, while Issaquah’s would be 8.7 percent in the coming year.

Part of that, Kuper noted, is the district’s deci-sion to create a longer school day for second-ary schools. The state is mandating a shift to 1,080 instructional hours per year by 2015-16, but because the mandate is already being funded, Issaquah officials chose to implement it a year earlier.

High-school and mid-dle-school students will stay in classes 45 minutes longer each Wednesday in the coming year.

The school day is lengthening, which increases the district’s expenses, but there won’t be any more administra-tors to accompany the change.

Superintendent Ron Thiele said officials have “thoughtful” conversations about administrative levels each year, and it’s impor-tant to not overwork exist-ing employees.

“Frankly, we’ve even

struggled a little bit to find space for people,” he said, noting the district added more portable offices last year at the administrative building. “If we’re going to hire anybody, we better have a place to put them.”

One bright spot for the district in terms of state funding is a large boost in transportation dollars.

Historically, Kuper said, schools have received about half of their annual transportation costs from the state. In 2014-15, how-ever, the state will fund 88 percent – about $6.5 million of Issaquah’s $7.3 million outlay.

“That is about as good as we can expect,” Kuper told the board.

The district is expecting a small bump in revenue through tuition and fees as more families use before- and after-school care pro-grams. About 1,600 chil-dren were served in the past year.

To help with additional students, the district is expecting to hire 32 new classroom teachers, six new special-education teachers, and invest in more custodial staff. The district’s square footage has grown because of modernization efforts at some schools.

“It’s important to bring those services back up to where they were before the recession,” Kuper said of custodial services.

OPINIONReview editorial

The kids are (probably) all right

Sometime soon, some parents around the area will be getting a pair of letters. One is a federally-mandated notice informing them that their child’s school is failing. The other, likely included in the same envelope, will tell them not to worry about what the first letter says — things are just fine.

The mixed message will undoubtedly confuse some.

This was the year that every child in America was supposed to be at grade-level standards in math and reading, according to the federal No Child Left Behind law.

The idea was well-meaning, but obviously flawed. While pretty much everyone agrees the law needs revisions, revisions mean Congress needs to get involved. Since Congress can barely agree on the color of the sky, it’s unlikely to see any revisions any time soon.

Unfortunately, that’s left room for other agendas. The U.S. Department of Education can use its power to grant or deny a waiver from the law as a cudgel to force education reforms without buy-in from the Legislative branch, which is exactly what it has done.

Washington lost its waiver after resisting these reforms, in particular refusing to use test scores as a portion of teacher evaluations – a position that speaks more of the power of the teachers unions in this state than it does of some sort of states-rights idealism in Olympia.

No reforms means no waiver. No waiver means that Washington’s schools have to tell their parents that the schools are failing. Never mind that schools in other states are probably in the same boat. They played ball with the feds, so they don’t have to send the letters.

Will either letter you receive make any school any better? No, they won’t. Does the letter mean your child isn’t learning? No, it doesn’t. What is the practical impact of all of these power struggles on parents and their children? Nothing. Exactly nothing. Where are the children in this debate? Nowhere.

The very people we’re supposed to not leave behind don’t seem to be factored into the discussion.

Parents should just go with their gut. Most resi-dents probably have a sense of whether or not their child is at a good school, and in Sammamish, they probably are.

The best choice is to ignore both of the letters and write one of your own.

Address it to your public officials at the federal and state levels, and demand that they stop using your children as pawns.

Reichert is on our sideI am writing in response to

Amanda Strombom’s letter regard-ing gun control legislation. This past session, the Washington State Legislature unanimously passed, and the governor signed into law, HB 1840. This law gives courts the authority to require those under a restraining order that are deemed a risk to another’s physical safety to surrender any firearms and restricts them from obtaining a firearm dur-ing that period. This state level legis-lation is directly aimed at addressing the safety of survivors of abusive relationships and domestic violence. I commend our state legislators for their support of this bill.

As a supporter of Congressman Dave Reichert, I would argue that he is on our side on these issues. Reichert has served on the King County Domestic Violence Council. As a former sheriff he understands the importance of keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals. I am confident in Reichert’s commitment

to those at risk of abuse and survi-vors of domestic violence.

A vote for Jason Ritchie is a vote for women

This is a call to voters to push for positive change. It has been almost a century since women received the right to vote and yet women still only make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, holding all other variables con-stant.

Yes, there have been improve-ments, but the fight should not stop until equality is fully reached. Women should not worry have to worry about sexual harassment, pay differences or any form of dis-crimination in the workplace.

As voters, it is our responsibil-ity to elect officials who will push for legislation that will create a more equal work environment.

Otherwise, we are allowing progress to stagnate. We are saying “it is OK for gender to factor into the value of a person’s work.”

With election season right around the corner, now is the time for vot-ers to make educated decisions regarding the direction our govern-ment takes. A vote for Congressman Dave Reichert in November will help the congressional leadership continue to block key legislation in the U.S. House that could close the gap.

Reichert, along with most Republicans, voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. This is inconsistent with the values we hold as Washingtonians. We need some-one who understands that the fight is not over.

Thankfully, this year, the 8th District has an alternative. Jason Ritchie has made women’s rights a central point in his campaign. I sup-port Jason Ritchie.

It’s closed nowAt 10:50 a.m. Aug. 3, a

police officer on a traffic stop noticed a man jogging on a closed section of the East Lake Sammamish Trail. The officer informed the man of the closure and said if he did it again, he could be charged with trespassing.

Wallet leads to something

At 6:51 a.m. Aug. 4, a couple visiting the area was out for a morning walk when the found a wallet near the intersection of East Main Drive and East Plateau Drive. An officer retrieved the wallet. She determined the owner and took it to their house. Upon arrival, she noticed that a car door had been left open. She tried to contact the homeowner but to no avail. Later, she was able to reach the homeowner. It seems the wallet was taken during a car prowl the night before on the 100 block of 248th Place Northeast. The vehicle was unlocked.

Domestic disputeA married couple had

an argument on the way home from a restaurant at about 7 p.m. Aug. 5. They pulled over their car in the parking lot of Sunny Hills Elementary School dur-ing the fight. The woman got out of the vehicle. She said the man had threat-ened her with a gun. The man acknowledged he had threatened her, and that he owns guns, but he said no gun was involved. Police later searched the car and found no gun. The man was arrested on felony harassment charges.

The old broken trash can trick

A woman on the 900 block of Lancaster Way Southeast called police at to report someone had taken her trash can and replaced it with a different trash can with a broken lid sometime between 4:45 and 6:50 p.m. Aug. 3.

Minor in possession

At about 8:27 p.m. Aug. 6, a police officer was checking an area on the 2000 block of 210th Place Southeast where he knows it common for there to be underage drinking and drug use. He found a 19-year-old coming out of the woods. The officer asked him what he was doing and the young man said he’d been searching for a memory card for his camera that he’d lost ear-lier. The officer asked if he found it, and the man said yes, but he was unable to produce the card. The man started getting nervous, which made the officer a little nervous. The officer patted him down and found a folding knife (the man had denied having weap-ons on him) and a glass pipe with marijuana in it. The officer is recommend-ing the man be charged with possession of mari-juana by someone under the age of 21.

Burglar, if you’re reading this, don’t play with them

A Sammamish man reported hundreds of mint-in-box Star Wars action figures had been stolen from his storage unit, along with other goods. The man called police Aug. 6 at about noon. He’d last been at the unit on the 2300 block of Northeast Eighth

Street a month prior and left everything in good order. This time when he opened the door to the unit, a box fell over, alert-ing him that something was not as he’d left it. It appears someone was able to pry open the door to the unit and then roll up the door. It looks like all of the boxes in the unit had been rifled through. The most prominent missing items were the action figures. Still in the box, collectors will pay hundreds for some of the figures which dated from the original Star Wars trilogy. Also missing was a chair, newspaper articles about the Kennedy assas-sination, rolls of pennies,

a stool and a minifridge. While on the scene, officers noticed five other units may have been compro-mised. The property owner is going to review security footage.

Mail theftSometime overnight

between July 29 and 30, someone pried open a string of locking mailboxes on the 24200 block of Southeast 18th Place. Some of the mail was dumped near one of the homes on the street. Police gathered up the mail. Unopened pieces were sent along to their destination. Open pieces were returned to senders with a note

explaining what had hap-pened and the case number.

Cat litter banditA Sammamish man

called after someone smeared ketchup, mustard and cat litter all over his daughter’s car on the 27100 block of Southeast 25th Place between 3:30 and 7 a.m. Aug. 3. Chrome flower rings on the rear tail lights were also reported missing. The officer tried to find fin-gerprints on the container of cat litter left behind, but was unable to do so.

Items in the Police Blotter come from Sammamish Police reports.

Like a lot of rock bands, LocoMotive members have a favorite hangout after they’ve performed at Snoqualmie Valley gigs. Even thought they frequent-ly play at a local pub and restau-rant, their hangout of choice isn’t a bar. It’s the local frozen yogurt shop.

The five-member band, all middle and elementary school students, range in age from 10 to 14 and include Tom Guilbert-Newell of Sammamish.

In recent months they’ve appeared at the Radio Duvall event, the Tanner Jeans Bike Rodeo and the Finapalooza at Finaghty’s in Snoqualmie and at a fundraiser for the Mount Si High School Jazz Band.

All these appearances – and the countless rehearsals and les-sons – have been just plain fun said lead singer, Bella Mariani.

“I do this as a hobby,” said the Snoqualmie 12-year-old. “Singing with the band is one of my favor-ite things to do, especially in front of an audience. It is fun to sing to them, to be with them, to play to them.”

LocoMotive was formed in 2011 at Big Star Studios in Snoqualmie. The members include Bella, Tom Guilbert-Newell of Sammamish, brothers Ethan and Ryan Horn and Jack Doughtery of Snoqualmie.

Tom plays the drums, Ethan the bass, Ryan and Jack the gui-tar.

Tom Guilbert-Newell’s moth-er, Muriel Guilbert, expects there will be crowd for the show.

“They’re getting well known in the local community,” she said. “They are doing it for fun and they are all passionate about the music.”

The music, said Guilbert and Bella, is classic rock. The reper-toire ranges from 1960s hits to today’s songs. LocoMotive even has some original pieces.

Bella wrote one called, “Moving On.”

“It’s about something that isn’t working out. Don’t listen to what other people say, do what you want to do,” she said. “I wrote the words and the music and we built it into a band song.”

The Issaquah and Lake Washington school districts have hired 16 new principals for the coming school year, including five in the Sammamish area.

Both public high schools in the city will have new leader-ship, as Donna Hood takes over at Skyline, and interim principal Chris Bede moves into the per-manent role at Eastlake.

Hood is a former assistant principal at Liberty High School, and said the support she’s received from other district lead-ers has helped her prepare to be a first-time principal.

“Those are incredible assets to anyone wanting to be a principal, so when the opportunity arose to be a principal here in the ISD, I seized it,” Hood said last week via email.

She’s replacing Lisa Hechtman, who is now working as the Issaquah district’s executive director of personnel.

Hood’s educational career has taken her across the globe and back. She has bachelor’s degrees in German and English from Long Island University in New York, and a master’s degree in teaching from the University of Washington.

She earned a Fulbright award that allowed her to study for a year in Salzburg, Austria. After returning to the U.S., she became a National Board Certified teach-er in 2005 at Sammamish High in Bellevue.

“Her core values are honesty, hard work and shared mission,” Issaquah Superintendent Ron Thiele said earlier this summer in a news release. “She commu-nicates well and often. Some of her highest priorities are collabo-rating with teachers to support and strengthen instruction, and building partnerships with her community.”

Hood said Skyline is “a healthy, high-functioning school” that is starting the 2014-15 year in a strong position, so her top prior-ity in her first year is simple – get to know the staff and students.

She has passed on many les-sons throughout her teaching and administrative career, and in turn, students have taught her as well.

“Kids want me to be me,” she said. “If I make a mistake, or if they do as we work together, they want adults to be adults and take ownership for that …

“When we are (working) with their best interest in mind, they know it and respect it. Likewise, they feel so good when we help them to take risks as learners, learn how to make a mistake, get up and move forward.”

Bede became the interim principal at Eastlake and the adjacent Renaissance School of Art and Reasoning midway through last

year, following Brad Malloy’s res-ignation.

Bede was an associate princi-pal at Eastlake for seven years. He has a bachelor’s degree in English and psychology from the University of Washington, and earned his master’s degree in teaching from Western Washington University. He also worked for seven years as a humanities teacher at neighbor-ing Skyline.

Three other Sammamish schools have new principals this year:

- Alcott Elementary: Jon Hedin, who comes from the Northshore School District, where

he completed his administra-tive internship at Woodmoor Elementary.

Hedin was a teacher for 12 years in grades two through five, and served with several Northshore

district groups, including the technology advisory committee, literacy adoption advisory com-mittee, and contract negotiation team.

He has a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and K-12 art from Whitworth University in Spokane, and earned his master’s degree in education from the University of Washington.

Hedin is replacing Kimo Spray, who took over the prin-cipal’s position at Audubon Elementary in Redmond.

- Creekside Elementary: Tera Coyle, who has worked with the Issaquah district since 2004.

She was a fifth-grade teacher at Challenger Elementary, then became principal at Discovery Elementary in 2008. Coyle replaces Robin Earl, who spent more than 20 years with Issaquah schools, and was Creekside’s first principal when it opened in 2010.

- Discovery Elementary: Michelle Nishioka, who previous-ly served as an assistant principal

at Beacon Hill International School in Seattle.

She com-pleted her administrative internship in the Bellevue School District, and also has teaching experience in

California. She has prior expe-rience in gifted and talented classrooms, Title I low-income schools, a performing arts mag-net school, and dual-language immersion.

Bella said because she wrote it – as much for herself as an audience – she relates to the words and sings it with passion.

The band, she said, usu-ally has one session a week at the studio with instructor Dan McInerney, and then practices a couple times a week on its own.

The students get together at the Horn brothers home because their bonus room over the garage was converted into a stage and studio.

Both Bella and Guilbert said the band is a hobby for the five students.

They all have multiple inter-ests. Tom, for instance, takes martial arts classes. Bella plays soccer and sings in the choir at Twin Falls Middle School. Others play baseball.

The hardest part of being in a band, Bella said, is the multi-tasking.

The memorization comes easy but singing to a crowd, working to hit the right notes and hit them in a way that makes them enjoyable to the audience and playing the guitar at the right time takes a lot of

practice.So far LocoMotive performs

for free.“We all just do it for fun,”

Bella said. “We’re good friends and enjoy practicing and play-ing. We’re always surprised when someone asks us what we charge.”

Being the mother of a musi-cian who is too young to drive keeps Guilbert driving a lot.

“It’s worth it,” she said. “It’s fun to watch them and fun to see them do so well. I’m impressed because they’re at the point now where some days they’re learning two new songs.”

Being a band mother doesn’t mean late nights. They’re so young, she said, they’re usually done playing by 8:30 p.m.

Upcoming performances include Open Mic night Aug. 21 at The Black Dog Arts Café in Snoqualmie and at the teen center Ground Zero in Bellevue Sept. 5.

Challenge Series Races provide fun to families with disabled children

Anyone who attended an Eastlake High School girls sporting event in the past year likely saw Ellie Woerner in action.

During her junior year, Woerner was a three-sport standout for Eastlake. Last fall, she earned All-KingCo Conference second-team volleyball honors as a mid-dle hitter. Over the winter, she averaged 11 points, three rebounds and two assists per game to help the Lady Wolves basketball squad win 18 games. And in the spring, she starred on the track by winning state medals in the 100-meter hurdles and 4x100 relay.

Simply playing three sports at the varsity level makes Woerner a rare breed in today’s world of high-school athletics.

It’s tough to pin down exact numbers, but in 2011, the National Federation of State High School Associations reported less than 40 percent of athletes participated in multiple sports. At large schools like Eastlake, only 28 percent did. And three-sport ath-

letes are much less com-mon.

“I don’t think there’s more than a handful in all of Eastlake,” said Sara Goldie, the school’s girls head basketball coach.

What makes Woerner special, and how is she able to maintain a perfect 4.0 grade-point average on top of her athletic commit-ments?

She cited a few rea-sons, most notably the way different sports focus on different skill sets. In volleyball, she spends her time jumping and diving. In track, it’s all about speed and flexibility.

“I think that’s part of why – knock on wood – I haven’t gotten too badly injured, because I’m always working different muscles and playing different sports,” Woerner said.

“To anyone who wants to play three sports, I would say, ‘Do it,’” she added. “It’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made throughout high school … A lot of people have told me, if basket-ball is your main priority, why do you play the other sports? But I just couldn’t

give them up – I think they help me so much with bas-ketball, and I have so much fun doing them.”

With-out question, basketball is Woer-ner’s first love and top pri-ority. In the spring, she often left track work-outs early to attend AAU basketball practices. She missed a large chunk of time in April when her Seattle-based squad, Tree of Hope, traveled to Virginia.

Tree of Hope qualified for July’s Nike Nationals in North Augusta, S.C., the culminating event for 24 teams in the nationwide Elite Youth Basketball League. The team reached the championship game before losing in overtime,

Triple threat: Eastlake’s Woerner thrives as a versatile athlete

Photo by Neil PiersonEastlake High School senior Ellie Woerner, pictured with the tools of her trades in the back yard of her Sammamish home, has her sights set on a college basketball career, and says vol-leyball and track are helping her in that quest.

65-60.Woerner starts as a wing

– a combination shooting guard/small forward, for the AAU squad, playing alongside some well-known Puget Sound-area stars like Makala Roper (Cleveland), Deja Strother (Inglemoor), Kelli Kingma (Jackson), and Eastlake teammate Marijke Vanderschaaf.

“We were kind of the underdogs, I think – it’s the first year of us being a Nike-sponsored team,” Woerner explained. “We were so close to winning, but I think we were all really proud of ourselves

and how far we went.”With several key play-

ers graduating at Eastlake, Woerner may play a larger role than ever this win-ter on the hardwood. She played point guard last sea-son, although she’s likely to return to the wing as a senior because the program has a new player coming in who is a true point guard, Goldie said.

Woerner and Goldie connected for the first time in a health class at Inglewood, and the two quickly formed a strong relationship. Goldie nick-named her “Dub,” after the

first letter of Woerner’s last name.

Woerner was the lone sophomore on Eastlake’s 2012-13 team. Goldie met with her before the season and talked about the pres-sure she’d be under, play-ing with older girls, and that the coach wasn’t going to give her special treat-ment.

Woerner didn’t blink.“From the second she

walked into our program, she was up for the chal-lenge of being an impact player,” Goldie said. “The drive in her eyes, the excitement for it, it kind of started there.”

Woerner has cherished

her time with the program, noting that Goldie and her staff promote a close-knit environment on and off the court.

“It’s been really impor-tant to them that we’re family,” Woerner said.

Woerner is nearing the end of her college recruit-ment process, too. She’s keeping her list of potential schools private, but expects to make a deci-sion in the near future. And she has a strong mentor to help her decide – her mother, Kris, played basketball at the University of Colorado.

First up, though, is her final season of volleyball. With her basketball com-mitments taking precedent, she had no time to play vol-leyball during the summer, but she likely won’t need much time to adjust.

“Volleyball is just a season that’s so fun for me – it doesn’t have that kind of pressure to work to getting into college,” she explained.

If things go according

to plan, Woerner will have a chance next spring to add to her hardware col-lection at state Track. She already has five state med-als, including a third-place finish in the 100-meter hur-dles and a fifth-place finish in the 400 relay in 2014.

She was a bit amazed with those accomplish-ments since basketball cut into her track season. She credits Eastlake hurdles coach Steve Skinner for being flexible and under-standing, and maximiz-

ing her training time.

“I knew it was going to be a hard year of track,

and I didn’t really know how far I was going to go,” Woerner said.

Goldie said she’s had many multi-sport athletes come through her basket-ball program, and having them is usually a good thing because they tend to be more competitive and bring an unique skill sets to the court.

“Generally speaking, I am an advocate, 100 per-cent, for multi-sport ath-letes,” Goldie said. “I think it is tough for kids when they play the same sport year-round.”

High-school football practices open Aug. 25, and the first games of the 2014 season will follow on the weekend after Labor Day.

The Class 4A KingCo Conference could be a more difficult gaunt-let than ever for the Eastlake Wolves and Skyline Spartans. The conference has whittled down from 11 teams to nine – Ballard, Garfield and Roosevelt were reclassified as 3A schools, and Mount Si moves up to join the 4A schools.

Here are five things to watch for when the new season opens Sept. 5:

1. Is Bothell the team to beat?

When Skyline head coach Mat Taylor declares your team a possible preseason No. 1 in the state, it’s time for others to pay atten-tion. Bothell has some strong recent history to

bolsters its claim – state appearances in seven of the last eight seasons, including runner-up finishes in 2006, ’07 and ’09 – but the onus will be on quarterback Ross Bowers, a Cal-Berkeley commit, to prove he’s ready to win the big games.

2. Will Mount Si toughen things up?

Football fans had to smile a bit when the state’s new clas-sification figures were announced, and Mount Si was bumped up to 4A. The Wildcats have a veteran coach in Charlie Kinnune, who has taken his program to the state playoffs for six consecu-tive seasons.

If they can match their opponents’ depth – they’re still one of the smaller 4A schools – don’t bet against a sev-enth straight trip, espe-cially with steakeaters like Chris Schlichting, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound line-man.

3. Can Eastlake replace Lewis brothers’ punch?

Drew and Troy Lewis were vital parts of Eastlake’s 2013 season, which ended with a trip to the state quarterfinals and a 9-3 record. They were a dynamic back-field tandem, combin-ing for more than 2,100 rushing and receiving yards, and 32 touch-downs. The eye-popping star power may be gone, but the Wolves still have the dependable Richard “Blue” Thomas (2,107 passing yards, 18 TDs) to get the ball to their skill players.

4. Is Skyline’s Loville the top target?

Skyline wide receiver Derek Loville has some serious pedigree – his father, Derek Sr., was a star running back at Oregon in the late 1980s – but he’s making his own path to the next level. His coach said he’s capable of catching at least 70 passes – dou-

bling his junior-year total – and his 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame makes him a difficult matchup for most defensive backs. The Spartans have a proven rushing attack with Chandler Wong and Rashaad Boddie, which could help Loville get more one-on-one opportuni-ties.

5. Which game will be the most fascinating to watch?

There are a lot of options when it comes to the potential KingCo Game of the Year. Week 1 features a couple of enticing games – Skyline at Issaquah, and Bothell at Eastlake.

The plateau rivals are clashing in the final week of the regular sea-son when Eastlake goes to Skyline on Halloween night. But the confer-ence race typically hing-es on the Skyline-Bothell winner, and the Spartans get to host that clash Oct. 17.

What to watch for as prep football season nears its start
