It was an eventful year in Is-saquah and Sammamish, with a wide range of topics reported in these pages. Here is a look at what happened in Issaquah and Sammamish in 2013.
JANUARYA di� erent beatJonathan Carollo, 11, of Sam-mamish, created a washing machine video that went viral, generating more than one mil-lion hits on YouTube. Carollo used everything from the lid to the stainless steel inside the drum of his family’s washing ma-chine to create a percussion beat reminiscent of a one-man drum line. He made appearances on both “Good Morning America,” and “� e Today Show.”
Saving TigersCougar Mountain Zoo’s general curator, Robyn Barfoot, traveled to India to promote the conser-vation of tigers. Barfoot paid for the trip from her own pocket,
visiting several preserves and lecturing students in Bangladesh on what they could do to help.
Ace gets the axeAce Hardware in Sammamish is denied a proposal made by development group Kindar Ace to build a new 11,200-square-foot store on a piece of property between Northeast Second and Northeast Fourth Streets. Store owner Tim Koch eventually had to close the popular store.
FEBRUARY216 acres on Squak Mountain sold to timber company
Residents of Squak Mountain and the May Valley were alarmed to hear that pristine land near the top of Squak Mountain in the Issaquah Alps had been sold to logger Kurt Erickson. � e land — � ve contiguous parcels that had been foreclosed on — if logged could result in further � ooding in the May Valley and disturbance to wildlife that inhabit the area.
Sammamish City Council approves community center operating agreement� e Sammamish YMCA and the city agreed that the yet-to-be-built community center will be leased to the YMCA at $1 per year for 25 years. � e YMCA will manage the facility, provide programs and cover all operating expenses. � e city will serve as the lead on design and construc-tion.
‘Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park’ is bornWith state funding for parks decreasing, Issaquah citizens concerned about the ailing park formed “Friends of Lake Sam-mamish State Park.” � e group will advocate and raise money for improvements to the park, which had not seen any major improvements in years.

Students came out Saturday Dec. 28 to once again show their support for Mark Zmuda, the vice-principal at Eastside Catholic School who lost his job when the school adminis-tration found out he had wed his gay partner last summer.
It is still unclear to many whether it was a “forced resignation,” or if he was � red. Zmuda has kept out of the spotlight since the issue exploded onto multiple media outlets Dec. 19.
However, he did allow one of the students at the school to interview him.
A short clip from that inter-view, with Catrina Crittenden was aired on KING 5.
Zmuda said “to set the re-cord straight, I was terminated. I did not resign, I was let go.”
When he asked why, he was told because he had violated Catholic teachings. He said he asked the administration if it was a breach of his contract, and they said no. He was terminated for marrying his partner.
Sister Mary Tracy, president and CEO of the school made Zmuda an o� er. She suggested he dissolve the marriage to save his job, an o� er she said she wasn’t proud of but that

At Saturday’s rally, Joseph Meehan, 17, a junior at Eastside Catholic, said he per-sonally believed Zmuda was fired due to his knowledge of a past experience with the school. Meehan said the LaCrosse coach left under unusual circumstances last year. He did not elaborate.
“We’re trying to bring the focus back to Eastside — this is about Mr. Z,” Mee-han said. “The broader gay rights issue is important, but we can’t forget why we are here.”
Meehan said he is taking an advanced calculus class and Zmuda was to give a lecture after the holiday, which he was looking forward to. Now, that won’t hap-pen.
Alumni of the school are equally dis-pleased with the situation. Corey Sinser said several alumni were meeting later in the evening “at a bar in Bellevue, like good Catholics,” to discuss plans.
“Ultimately it’s about supporting these
students and Mr. Z,” said Sinser, a 2006 graduate.
Sinser said Zmuda was forced out the door even though the administration is still saying he resigned.
As far as Tracy’s suggestion that Zmuda dissolve his marriage, Sinser said if that’s true it’s pretty shocking.
“The Gospel compels us to love one another,” he said. “If that’s your under-standing of that kind of love then your priorities are mixed up.”
Kristen Miller, a 1984 graduate of Holy Names, was at the rally with her son, Chris Miller, a senior at Eastside Catholic. Miller said Sister Tracy was the principal at Holy Names when she graduated. She said she tends to believe Zmuda’s side of the story, that he was terminated.
“I have fabulous things to say about Eastside Catholic, but not this time,” she said.

MARCHFormer NBA player leaves Sammamish home a� er trashing itFormer Seattle Sonics player Robert Swi� � nally le� a million-dollar Sammamish home he’d been squatting in. He vacated the 6,000 square-foot home in the 21000 block of South-east 40th Place, leaving behind piles of empty pizza boxes, dog feces, empty beer bottles, holes in walls and what appeared to be a makeshi� shooting range in the basement.
Muslim prayer center gets green lightA Sammamish hearing examiner dismissed an appeal by a neighborhood group and al-lowed the prayer center to have a 44-space parking lot in the 22000 block of Southeast 20th Street. Examiner John Galt ruled there was not enough evidence to back many of the environmental and tra� c concerns voiced by “Friends of SE 20th.”
Plot thickens on Squak MountainLogger Kurt Erickson withdrew his forest practices permit application a� er it was de-termined that one of the streams on the property met the requirement as a potential � sh habitat. Foresting consultant Paul Graves said they would start over a� er applying appropri-ate � sh bu� ers. Meanwhile, an application for $2 million was submitted to the conserva-tions futures citizens oversight committee to get help for the county to buy the land from Erickson.
APRILHeroin use on the rise in Issaquah and SammamishAs use of prescription opiods is on the rise, one 80 mg. tablet of oxycodone will sell for $80 to $100 on the street. Black tar heroin is cheaper and chemically comparable. New data shows that in 2012 within the area of the Issaquah School District, there were 31 overdoses in the 19-30 age group, compared to 16 in 2009. In the 31-50 age group, there were 25 over-doses in 2012 compared to 15 in 2009.
Issaquah seeks Regional Growth Center designationSuch a designation would put Issaquah in position to compete for priority funding for transportation infrastructure to support further growth. It could be May of 2014 before Is-saquah receives the designation, if it does at all, since such designation is very competitive.
Issaquah native, Adrianne Haslet-Davis, loses foot, lower leg in Boston Marathon bombingA 1998 graduate of Issaquah High School, and a professional ballroom dancer, Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who now lives in Boston and works at Arthur-Murray dance studio, lost her foot and lower leg in the Boston bombing. Her husband, Adam Davis, su� ered broken bones and lacerations in his legs from shrapnel. He had just returned from Afghanistan.
MAYWater War� e Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, a private utility, raises concern over plans by the city of Issaquah to inject storm water runo� from the Issaquah Highlands into the Lower Reid In� ltration Gallery (LRIG), a football � eld size area of land only 600-feet uphill from one of three wells serving 54,000 people in Sammamish, parts of Issaquah and unincorporated King County. � e matter still remains unresolved.
Trust for Public Land comes to the rescue of Squak MountainKing County executive, Dow Constantine, and the Trust for Public Land, sign a conditional agreement to purchase the 216-acres owned by Erickson Logging, Inc. on Squak Mountain to save it from logging. King County will work to secure the funding necessary to take ownership of the land in the long term. � e plan calls for the TPL to buy the property in Feb. 2014, and convey a portion of it to King County when the county has initial funds for a � rst phase of the purchase.
Klahanie annexation study shows � nancial gain for IssaquahAnnexing Klahanie and 12 surrounding neighborhoods would produce about $620,000 in net income for Issaquah before taking into account start-up costs and a sales tax credit from the state that the city would have to apply for, concludes an independent study on the an-nexation. Issaquah would gain about $6.47 million annually from property tax, some sales tax, state-shared revenues, utility taxes and real estate excise tax.

Mom and pop pot dealers should prepare for the bright
light of public scrutiny as they enter the marijuana mainstream. � ere will be no hiding out as the state lets cities and counties know who wants
to grow, process and open a cannabis corner market in their communities and where exactly they want to do it.
Soon these wan-nabe legal dope dealers will be the talk of many a town and maybe the tar-get of a few not-so-
mellow neighbors, who don’t want the businesses near their homes. � e state Liquor Control Board has received roughly 2,500 license applications and begun informing cities and counties which ones are on their turf. For each application, cities and counties get 20 days to express support, opposition or no position.
“If the local authority objects, we review with an additional layer of scrutiny,” liquor board spokesman Brian Smith said. “Typically, we are looking for whether the local authori-ty made a case that providing a license to the applicant, or at that location, is a threat to public safety. � e burden
is on the local authority to make its case.”
State law does not tell elected leaders what to do before respond-ing. It does not, for example, require holding public hearings, but it doesn’t dissuade them either. � at’s where the city of Lynnwood may be blazing a trail for others.
� e mayor’s o� ce recently received word from the state of an applica-tion for a license to grow and process marijuana on a stamp of commercial land on 208th Street Southwest, abut-ting homes and the Interurban Trail. City leaders sprang into action and scheduled a community meeting to discuss and dissect this application.
� ey mailed notices to residents liv-ing in the vicinity with the date, time, place and reason for the meeting. � ey also attached the liquor board’s o� cial letter containing names, phone numbers and birthdays of applicants. � ey posted it all online as well. City leaders no doubt wanted to be certain residents knew exactly who had de-signs on growing pot on this particu-lar corner.
Not surprisingly all of this didn’t sit well with Mark Greenshields of Auricag Inc., who applied for the li-cense for a 30,000-square-foot indoor growing operation. Greenshields said he understood the purpose of the
meeting, but worried the spread of personal details could create future professional and personal problems for he and his partners.
He had another reason for his frustration – by the time the notices went out, he’d already abandoned plans to open in Lynnwood and is looking to open in unincorporated Snohomish County near Woodinville. � at mooted the need for a meeting in his mind, but the city didn’t cancel the meeting until some days later.
Outgoing Councilwoman Kerri Lonergan-Dreke supported getting residents together regardless of the status of the application because legal pot businesses are coming to town and most residents don’t seem to real-ize it. � e city needs to be proactive, she said. She hopes public sessions are held on every application even the ones that don’t materialize, she said.
“I think that’s a good strategy to take,” she said. “It’s good for folks to start to understand how the state has responded to the initiative.”
And a reminder for those looking to grow and sell pot in this state that public attention, unwanted or not, is one of the costs of doing business.

Members of the Machinists Union at Boeing will vote today on what may be a defining moment
with the company. Boeing has offered to extend the contract with the union, which means the wing work for the new 777X airplane will remain in this area. If members reject the deal, the company says the work will go elsewhere.
We urge members to vote “yes.”We know many union members are upset at the
contract extension offer. It comes with a number of concessions, including a change in their pension pro-gram. And while we sympathize with their feelings, the contract offer reflects a change other companies are making throughout many industries. Like it or not, it’s a new reality.
What union members must focus on are jobs. Accept the contract extension and jobs -- good paying one -- stay here for those now employed at Boeing and the thousands to come un the future. Reject the contract and jobs will disappear year after year after year.
Union members rejected an earlier offer from Boe-ing. The company has modified its proposal. Local union officials opposed another vote, and called for an-other “no” vote once national union leaders scheduled the vote today. Clearly, the national leadership sees the obvious: a “no” vote means Boeing will move the work to an area where non-union members could be the ones doing the work. The company has received offers from 22 states to do the 777X work.
Change is never easy; often it is painful. This is one of those cases.
Change is going to come to local machinists in any case. A “no” vote will mean jobs for many of them will begin to disappear. A “yes” vote will mean jobs will remain and grow, even if the benefits are different.
A”yes” vote is the best option.

JUNEIssaquah mayor says water district using scare tacticsA letter sent out by the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District speaking to the threat posed by untreated storm water being injected into the ground above the aquifer is “simply not true,” said Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger. The water district is accused of being motivated by “self-preservation” because it opposes the annexation of the Klahanie PAA to Issaquah. Jay Krauss, the general manager of SPWSD said the board of commissioners for the water district has no position on Klahanie.
Backup suitorsThe city of Sammamish made it official that if Issaquah doesn’t want Klahanie, it does. During a city council meeting June 11, the Sammamish City Council voted 6-0 to pursue the annexation of Klahanie and the surrounding neighborhoods if Issaquah didn’t hurry up and submit language to the county, to get the issue on a ballot.
BuzzkillThe City of Sammamish decided to hand out citations to those seen possessing fire-works on the Fourth of July. They would be fined $500, or if they discharge their own device, they would be fined $1,000. Residents were encouraged to attend the city’s Fourth on the Plateau event if they want to watch a pyrotechnics display.
JULYEnvironmental critical areas ordinance passes in SammamishAfter more than a year of research, evaluations by the planning commission and debate between homeowners and developers, the Sammamish City Council com-
promised on a new ECA ordinance. New pilot programs will allow landowners to build in areas previously off limits because of environmental concerns — areas like streams, wetlands, and terrain prone to erosion such as hillsides.
To the ballotIssaquah City Council votes 6-1 with council member Josh Schaer dissenting, to put the Klahanie PAA annexation on the ballot in February 2014. Annexation of the PAA will give Issaquah the chance to become an entitlement city for federal community block grants if it hits a population of 50,000. Right now Issaquah has a population of about 33,000, and the Klahanie PAA has about 11,000 residents.
Trust for Public Land and Erickson come to agreementThe Trust for Public Land and logger Kurt Erickson agree on a sales price of $5 mil-lion for the 216 acres on Squak Mountain. Erickson said TPL worked hard to “get it right.” Funding sources include conservation futures funds which are collected through property taxes for permanent protection of open space land, and the King County Parks levy.

AUGUSTPit bull attacks, kills toy poodleTammy Hessler was walking her four-year-old toy poodle, Jackson, on a leash, when Jackson was attacked and killed by a pit pull owned by Christina Hart. In�icting one deadly bite into the poodle’s lungs and stomach, the poodle died instantly. �e attack took place in the Issaquah Highlands where the covenants, conditions and restrictions (CCRs) restrict certain breeds, including pit bulls. A neighbor said the dog has attacked other dogs twice before.
Bird messIt was revealed that in an e�ort to reduce the amount of goose poop le� by Canadian geese at Lake Sammamish State Park, geese were euthanized using gas. A spokesperson
for the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission said nobody likes doing it, but that they were trying to balance the species. Animal advocate Diane Weinstein said more than 1,000 people signed a petition by Action for Animals to protest the practice.
Issaquah nanny dies in shark attackA German Au Pair who worked as a nanny in Issaquah died August 21, one week a�er losing her arm in a shark attack while snorkeling o� the Maui coast. Jana Lutteropp, 20, died at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Hawaii o�cials announced they plan to study tiger shark movements around Maui, amid an unprecedented spike in shark at-tacks since 2012.
SEPTEMBERDelay in hatchery project won’t a�ect Salmon DaysA delay in the construction of the upper intake for the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery wouldn’t delay Issaquah’s largest celebration. With part of the creek diverted around the construction area into a large culvert, some of the �sh had to be hauled by a water truck to the upper part of the creek. �e project includes replacing the old dam which dates back to 1937.
Issaquah ‘hijacks’ website As the controversy over Issaquah injecting storm water into the ground over the aqui-fer increased, it was revealed that people going to the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District’s website were immediately diverted to the city of Issaquah’s website. Known as cybersquatting, someone in the City of Issaquah’s sta� approved the action. �e city of Issaquah immediately took care of the problem.
Klahanie annexation issue goes before King County Boundary Review BoardTwo nights of testimony were heard by the King County BRB, a quasi-judicial body, which makes decisions on incorporations, annexations, mergers and disincorporations by cities. �e cities of Issaquah and Sammamish both made their case, as did the Sam-mamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, Eastside Fire and Rescue, Klahanie Choice and a constant �ow of concerned citizens.

Hello,
I just sent an email from our system with the ad we’d like to use, but with the automated email, it didn’t give me room to ask a couple questions.
Since our ads at Edward Jones are pre-made, the size is off, so I was wondering if the one I sent would be OK to size down to the requirements of the space available. I also was wondering if the black boarder around the ad could be changed to the yellow/gold color that was used for our Edward Jones ad in the Black Friday wrap.
Please let me know if these are possibilities.
Thank you!

ISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER PRESENTS
BLUE FRIDAYSBY JOHN BOYLEHERALD WRITER
Depending on your perspective, Richard Sherman is either best known as one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks, or as one of the NFL’s biggest talkers.
In reality, he is both.Sherman’s standout play is why he’s
in the spotlight in the � rst place, but his brashness/con� dence/cockiness/whatever you want to call it is also a big part of who he is. On the � eld, Sherman uses his trash talk to get into an opponent’s head — we’re looking at you, Steve Smith — and o� the � eld he uses it to build his brand.
Here we o� er a small sampling of Sher-man’s greatest hits, so to speak:
“U Mad Bro?” — Oct. 14, 2012. Sher-man, via Twitter, with his now-signature line pasted over a picture of New England quarterback Tom Brady following a Seahawks win over the Patriots.
“Sometimes, man, when the bully gets bullied, that’s how it happens.” — Oct. 24, 2012. Sherman responding to 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh’s complaints about the physical play of Seattle’s defensive backs.
“In my 24 years of life, I’m better at life than you.” — March 7, 2013. � e money shot from a sometimes hilarious, sometimes awkward takedown of ESPN’s resident instigator, Skip Bayless, during an appearance on “First Take.”
“It helps when you don’t listen to the idiots in the dra� room. When you don’t listen to the idiots, you � nd players like Jeremy Lane and Byron Maxwell and myself and Kam Chancellor, the list goes
on, Russell Wilson. But if you sit there and listen to the idiots like Mel Kiper and Todd McShay and things like that, you miss a lot of good players.” — Dec. 19, 2013. Sherman explaining why the Seahawks have been able to � nd so many steals in the dra� .
“I don’t want to be an island. I want to be more of a tourist attraction. You stop here, I take your money and you go.” — Nov. 14. 2013. Sherman when asked if he
takes it as a sign of respect that teams are throwing away from him, which is how cornerback Darrelle Revis earned the nickname “Revis Island.”
“I’ve been proud of you since you spurned us. I told you, I didn’t want you to go down that path, I’m proud of you, boy.” — Jan. 6, 2013. Sherman, who was mic’d up, to Washington quarterback Robert Gri� n III following a playo� win, a refer-ence to the fact that Sherman encouraged Gri� n not to come to Stanford, in part because Andrew Luck was also heading there, but also, perhaps, because he didn’t want Gri� n to be subjected to playing for Jim Harbaugh.
“A.J. Green is just a lot of noise talking and bad routes.” — Oct. 30, 2011. Sher-man to Sports Radio KJR’s Curtis Crabtree following his � rst NFL start, a game in which he su� ered a concus-sion early and kept playing, according to an article he wrote this season for � eM-MQB.com.
“I’m still a � � h-round pick last I checked. � at will never go away.” — Dec. 27, 2012. Sherman describing why he’ll always play with a chip on his shoulder, even a� er gaining recognition as one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks.
“I wanted to make a state-ment to my city. I’m from Compton (Calif.), and it’s hard for people to under-stand that you can be an
athlete and have high academic standards and achieve high academic things. So, I really wanted to make that known to people that you can go to Stanford from Compton.” — April 30, 2011. Sherman on the day he was dra� ed, explaining why he went to Stanford despite also having an o� er from USC.
“He’s an incredibly perspicacious guy.” — Oct. 3, 2013. Sherman, describing former Stanford teammate and current Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who a day earlier had described Sherman as vociferous. In the game of vocabulary one-upmanship, Sherman’s description of Luck means, “having or showing an ability to notice and understand things that are di� cult or not obvious.”
Sherman: one of the best at talking and defending
Seahawks Richard Sherman is one of the best cornerbacks in the National Football League and one of the biggest talkers. JENNIFER BUCHANAN, Everett Herald

REVIEWCONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
Sammamish hoped for an “either-or” vote, but BRB board chair Mary Lynne Evans said only the Growth Management Planning Council has the authority to make that deci-sion. � e PAA is in Issaquah’s growth management plan.
Funding model for Eastside Fire and Rescue comes under the microscope� e partners in Eastside Fire and Rescue raise questions about how much each should be contributing to EFR. Sammamish, unhappy with the funding model for sometime, feels it is getting the short end of the stick. � e partnership agreement expires at the end of 2014, but any agency that wants to leave EFR must give notice by the end of 2013, causing some stress among the partners and Sammamish residents who fear Sammamish might leave the partnership and form its own � re department.
NOVEMBERSammamish residents make themselves heardA grass roots organization called saveour� redept.org announces that the Eastside Fire Fighters hired an attorney, accusing the City of Sammamish of violating Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act. � e attorney, SaNni M-K Lemonidis, wrote “it appears the city council and technical advisory board have openly discussed � re service issues.” EFR deputy chief Greg Tryon said if any of the EFR partners were to go out on their own it would cost them more to operate an independent department.
Fred Butler elected new Mayor of IssaquahA� er serving for 16 years, Mayor Ava Frisinger did not seek re-election, making way for city council president Fred Butler to overcome opponent Joe Forkner to become Issaquah’s next mayor. Lisa Callan was successful in winning the only open seat on the Issaquah School Board, beating opponent Alison Meryweather who had been appointed.
Sammamish approves EFR formula� e Sammamish City Council voted unanimously to approve a new funding formula for partners in EFR � e formula ended with each partner paying 75 percent based on as-sessed valuation and 25 percent based on calls for service. Sammamish Mayor Tom Odell said “all of this was bloody avoidable, frankly,” adding the EFR had come to his daughter’s aid more than once, and that his father made his last trip in an EFR aid car.
EFR issues not overWith the funding formula out of the way, the partners still had to agree to any changes on the interlocal agreement. Yet another ad-hoc committee was formed to work out any issues. Tempers � ared at the Nov. 14 EFR board meeting, with North Bend’s Alan Gothelf saying “let’s walk our egos out of here and decide what we can and cannot do.”
DECEMBERTent City 4 to stay in SammamishTent City 4 which has been behind Mary Queen of Peace in Sammamish since Oct. 19, will stay there at least through the holidays. � e community for the homeless has a strict code of conduct, meaning no drugs, weapons or violence along with security. Rev. Kevin Duggan said most of the residents have jobs, but ended up homeless due to other circum-stances.
Klahanie Annexation vote scheduled� e Issaquah City Council voted 5-1 with council member Josh Schaer voting no, to hold the Klahanie annexation vote in a special election Feb. 11, 2014. � e question to overturn the ban on plastic shopping bags will also be on the ballot, a� er a grass-roots organization got enough signatures on a petition to revisit the issue.
Meeting of the minds� e partners in Eastside Fire and Rescue come to terms on changes requested to the in-terlocal agreement. Most of the changes turned out to be nothing more than clari� cations, with everyone in attendance at the Dec. 12 EFR board meeting celebrating with cookies and sparkling cider.
Mayor Ava Frisinger says goodbyeAt the last Issaquah City Council meeting of the year, outgoing Mayor Ava Frisinger was honored for her 16 years of dedication to the city, again with cookies and sparkling cider. In a rare show of emotion, she said “I get maudlin a� er half a glass of sparkling cider — probably because I’m part Scottish,” she joked.
Student RebellionEastside Catholic students make their feelings loud and clear when they stage sit-ins and demonstrations at the school and the Archdiocese of Seattle, a� er a much beloved vice-principal is terminated for marrying his gay partner last summer, which goes against the beliefs of the Catholic Church. Mark Zmuda has kept a low pro� le since the story broke. Sister Mary Tracy, the school’s president and CEO, said “if the teachings of the church
change I’d hire him back in a minute. He’s a wonderful educator.” � is story has garnered national and interna-tional attention.
Sammamish residents concerned about the future of Eastside Fire and Rescue in their community, � lled Sammamish City Hall on Oct. 29. KELLY MONTGOMERY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter.

Humanitarian Recognition: Eastside Catholic baseball aids special needs peer
� e Crusaders have made plenty of headlines during the past two baseball seasons under new head coach Kyle Larsen, reaching the 3A state title game in 2011.
But their most impressive feat in 2012 had little to do with their own achievements on the diamond.
When the program agreed to play Newport at Safeco Field, the home of the Seattle Mariners, it also signed up for a joint-fundraiser and the chance to throw out the � rst pitch before a game.
Instead of using that opportunity for themselves, a group of EC seniors decided to involve the school’s Options pro-gram, which serves intellectually disabled individuals.
� at led Jane Dickison to the practice � eld with the Cru-saders and eventually, an MLB pitching mound, where she threw out the � rst pitch to an EC classmate.
Comeback story of the year: Rachel Ainslie, Eastlake girls basketball
Coming back from a heart condition was tough enough. But it was far from the last challenge for Eastlake’s Rachel Ainslie, a senior on the girls basketball team in 2012-13.
Her � nal prep season was no given a� er a devastating knee injury during an AAU game, but a return to the court gave her a � nal run wearing the Eastlake uniform she grew up dreaming of and helped her team to a postseason spot.
Person of the Year: Gwen Robertson, Issaquah cross country, track and � eld
If it involves running, and Issaquah High School, odds are Gwen Robertson is somewhere in the fold.
� ree-plus decades of coaching has made her the living legacy of the program, and o� ered a chance for plenty of her former athletes to return and become coaches.
� at reality has been a rewarding one, as have the three cross country state titles, 12 individual state champions in track and � eld and numerous confer-ence and district titles.
Robertson received induction into the Wash-ington State Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame in 2013, an honor be� tting a career of dedication and excellence.
Game of the Year: Issaquah-Skyline girls soccer, 4A state tournament quarter� nals
� e Eagles got three tries at their neighborhood rivals for the second straight girls soccer season, and made it pay o� , beating Skyline in a shootout to advance to the 4A state semi-� nals.
Issaquah was unable to top the Spartans in the � nal game of the regular season, or in the conference title game a week later.
But in a win-or-go-home situation for each team, it was the Eagles that prevailed, getting a second half goal before taking the penalty kick round to return to the favor to a Skyline program that beat them in last year’s state champi-onship game.
Surprise of the Year: Crusaders return to title game in football
Eastisde Catholic made its � rst ever state title game ap-pearance in football in 2012, in only the second year under head coach Jeremy � ielbahr.
In 2013, the Crusaders repeated that feat in even more impressive fashion.
It looked like rival O’Dea would once again ascend past EC a� er a lopsided win during the regular season at Charlie Acosta Field, followed by a Metro League title for the Irish.
But in a state semi-� nal rematch, that loss was avenged in a major way, as the Crusaders won 28-14 to get back to the championship game.
All of that came despite losing 25 seniors from its 2012 team, and breaking in a new starting quarterback in sopho-more Harley Kirsch.
Coach of the Year: Don Bartel, Eastlake football� e Reporter chronicled the Wolves’ new leader on
the gridiron from his hire back in January to the team’s 4A state quarter� nal run during the fall, the � rst for the
program since 2011.Players spoke throughout the year of a decidedly positive
and energetic tenor around the program, emblematic of their sideline leader.
� ose good vibes continued through the KingCo season and culminated in a trio of postseason wins, � rst in the conference crossover round and then over Kentwood and Union.
Inspirational Story of the Year: EC wrestling tournament remembers life lost
Jean Hill and her family endured a life-altering tragedy when 16-year-old Brian, an Eastside Catholic student and member of the wrestling and football teams, died in a car accident near the school’s former Newport Hills campus in 2004.
But in the years a� er his passing, and even through a change in location to its Sammamish campus, the school and wrestling program have made sure to keep his memory alive.
� e Brian Hill Invitational brings competitors from around the region to the school for a wrestling tournament, something Jean said has been an invaluable gi� .
Team of the Year: Eastlake Little League All Stars
� e � rst team from Eastlake Little League to capture a state championship at the Majors division wasn’t satis� ed with only one trophy, and parlayed its � rst victory into many more en route to the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pa.
Eastlake thrilled a national television audience in the Northwest Regional Tournament, winning a semi-� nal game in comeback fashion before taking the title the following day. At the Little League World Series, the Sammamish youngsters advanced to the knockout stage, posting a 3-2 record.
