VALUE VILLAGE OPENS

Daniel Nash, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Savers Inc. opened a Value Village thrift store on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Feb. 19, filling a retail space that had been vacant for six years after Albertsons grocery closed its doors. Above, shoppers line up outside for Value Village’s grand opening. Third and fourth from left in the picture, Josh Immordino and Justin Harvey play cribbage while they wait.

The intersection of 228th Avenue and Spartan Way will be one of 11 to receive upgraded “smart” traffic lights.

Lines out door of long-vacant spaceBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

� e morning of Feb. 19, shoppers were lined up out the door of the retail center on the corner of Southeast 56th Street and East Lake Sammamish Parkway. Many had grabbed baskets and carts to be at the ready. Others milled about and chatted up the sta� at the welcome booth, set up on a card table beside the parking lot. Two men, Josh Immordino and Justin Harvey, passed the time with games of cribbage.

It was probably the most foot tra� c the old Albert-sons building had seen in the more than six years since the grocery store announced its closure. � e building remained perennially vacant during that time, with the exception of short-term leases to the Spirit Halloween company during the fall. Complicating matters was the fact that property owner Merlon Geier Partners had inherited an agreement that barred them from leasing to certain grocery competitors, such as Kroger

or Walmart, until 2052. MGP wound up halving the roughly 50,000-square-foot building into two retail spaces.

Inside the store, more than 60 new Value Village employees gathered around Savers Inc. CEO Ken Alter-man for a pre-opening ceremony pep talk, while city o� cials and corporate administrators awkwardly made small talk nearby. Alterman reminded the employees to relax, that � rst-day hiccups were normal.

Some of the employees made last minute adjust-ments within the aisles and aisles of clothing. Two days earlier, the store and the merchandise had been a most-ly empty space and a pile of donations, respectively.

� ey went outside and began the opening ceremony.“I think you’re going to be shocked when you go

inside, especially if you were here Tuesday,” Alter-man said, addressing shoppers. “� e merchandising is extraordinary.”

Smarter traffic lights coming soonBY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

From QFC to Safeway, the city of Sam-mamish wants to install smarter tra� c signals along the 228th Avenue corridor.

Several contractors submitted bids to the city to construct the adaptive signal control technology at 11 intersections from the Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast intersec-tion at 228th Avenue to the Northeast 12th Place and 228th Avenue intersection. � e

bids were published on the city’s webpage in mid-February.

An adaptive control is a form of tra� c sig-nal that responds in real time to tra� c condi-tions. It reads the road and can help control congestion. With adaptive technology, delays decrease and vehicles are more fuel e� cient.

the county sta� .” Brown has committed to

� nding a resolution on the last few items, he said.

For this section of the trail, segment A, the design plans are 90 percent complete. Community members had until � ursday to submit com-ments to the county regarding the trail.

� e county received 160 comments during its previous comment period that ended Oct. 29, 2014, Brown said. County sta� are still work-ing on responding to some of these comments.

Per the request of the city council last week, Brown will attend the next meeting, on March 3, to go over the 90 percent design plans.

“We believe we’ll be able to make many of those changes,” Brown said. “We’re very com-mitted to working with the city of Sammamish and its residents.”

� e northern section of the 11-mile path is already under construction. Segment B of the southern section is still in the planning phase.

� e county hopes to begin construction on segment A in the summer.

� e trail stretches around the eastern side of Lake Sam-mamish and has been a point of contention for years.

BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Community members have helped signi� cantly reduce the blackberry population and replant about 200 native plants around Ebright Creek.

� e community volunteer events to restore nearly an acre around the creek in Ebright Creek Park began in early October.

Long-time Sammamish resi-dent Patricia Elkoury grabbed a shovel and joined the other 30 volunteers in digging up invasive blackberries Saturday morning.

Elkoury, 32, was inspired by some of the environmental classes she’s taking at University of Wash-ington to clean up the area.

“I thought, if I wanted to get real experience, I better just get out there and do it,” she said.

Elkoury, who has volunteered for other restoration projects within the city, said she will apply the experience of uprooting in-vasive plants and replacing them with native species to the restora-

tion of her own back yard.While some volunteers cleared

the area, others carried buckets of mulch to native plants that volunteers planted during a previ-ous event.

Several Washington Native

Plant Society stewards were on site helping people identify which plants to uproot. � ey also provided additional information about native shrubs and trees.

Plant society stewards go through a free training program and as a way to repay that free training commit time to a speci� c project. � ere were two teams of � ve on site helping execute the restoration plan.

“Right now, as you look at it,” said steward Michelle Cranwell Walter, indicating the work area around the creek Saturday morning, “it has been completely overrun by Himalayan Blackber-ries, and they cover up the native species.”

Invasive species, like the Hima-layan Blackberry, sprawl across an area cobbling up and out compet-ing other plants.

At Ebright Creek, some of the native plants volunteers were placing throughout the work area included the Oregon Grape and the sword fern.

Cranwell Walter, of Issaquah,

showed volunteers how to sur-round the newly planted native shrubbery with mulch.

� e mulch helps insulate the plant, keeping it warm, and it helps the plant retain moisture. Retaining moisture is particularly crucial in the summer, when the area is drier.

Native plants, unlike the inva-sive blackberry, help stop erosion because they root deeply in the ground.

� e variety of plants provides better shelter and food sources for insects, birds or other animals living there.

When invasive species overtake an area, it creates a monoculture, Sammamish volunteer coordina-tor Elby Jones said.

“It basically chokes everything out,” Jones said, referring to the invasive plant.

Community members can join in restoring the creek March 21 at 9 a.m.

BY JOSH STILTSREPORTER NEWSPAPERS

His hand reaches for a copy of a long-forgotten issue of a newspaper and a smile spreads eas-ily across his face at the memory of the story he wrote.

“It was so ful� lling to tell her story,” he said. “I forgot how much fun I had writing people’s stories and features.”

Some years ago Craig Groshart spent an entire day following the then Issaquah superintendent, shadowing her every move and chronicling the tough deci-sions she faced at nearly every turn, both as an administrator and someone battling cancer.

It’s just one example of the more than a half-century of work he’s accomplished telling and shaping the story of his Northwest communities as an education reporter, business editor, page editor and most recently as the editor of the Bellev-ue and Issaquah/Sammamish reporters.

A� er countless news briefs, editori-

als and meetings, Groshart, who turns 73 this year, said it was time to hang up his reporter pad and red editor’s pen announc-ing his retirement. Today marks the end of an era, but the beginning of a new chapter for the staple of community news on the Eastside.

“It’ll be fun to do other things. I’ve always wanted to do more volunteer work, but for whatever reason I didn’t have the time or couldn’t because of a potential editorial con� ict. Now my wife and I can do that as we please.”

In 1987 Groshart joined the Journal-American, which became the Eastside Journal, then the King County Journal when it merged with the South County Journal. � at paper would be sold to Sound Publishing at the end of 2006 and closed shortly a� er before being redis-tributed as the various Reporter papers we have today. Groshart was appointed editor of the Bellevue paper and a year later took on the Issaquah/Sammamish paper.

However Groshart’s � rst job in journal-ism was much earlier. At 15 years old, Craig ran a Linotype machine, rewriting press releases a few nights a week for � e

Magnolia News, a community newspaper in Seattle. Other nights he’d run the press.

And while no news agency uses Linotypes anymore, Groshart said the ex-perience was invaluable and encouraged anyone interested in pursing a career in journalism to understand its history.

“Learn to do all the aspects of the job you can,” he said. “Photography, social media, writing … if someone is offering a workshop go to it. Above all, read good writers.”

As he looks at what’s next, Craig said he and his wife JoAnne have already started identifying opportunities to con-tinue helping their community.

� e Grosharts have helped prepare meals for the men’s winter shelter, chop-

ping vegetables for salads and making a meatloaf or whatever else needed help with. Craig said he and his wife wanted to do more and it makes sense to move on as editor.

But once a journalist, always a journal-ist. It’ll only be a matter of time before he’s got the itch to write again, to tell other people’s stories, sharing their narra-tives with others.

“Journalism is so rewarding,” he said. “Emotionally, philosophically, but not really � nancially. � at’s OK. You never make much money, but your day is dif-ferent every day and you’re making a di� erence every day.”

Goodbye — and helloToday is my last day at the Reporter. I’m retiring.

For someone who never planned to go into jour-nalism, I’ve suddenly discovered that I’ve spent the

last 33-plus years writing stories and taking photographs of people and organizations with newspapers that one way or the other have become part of Sound Publishing. Add in other papers I’ve worked for in the Northwest and my career is even longer.

It’s been fun, interesting and personally rewarding.I knew in high school that I wanted to do something that

would be a bene� t to society. At the time, I had my eyes set on the foreign service as a way to con-tribute to the greater good. Two things got in the way.

My college major was political science, and while I found politics interesting and enjoyable, studying the theory of government was not. Also, it seemed like a good idea to speak a second language. I reasoned that my four years of studying Latin in high school wouldn’t do much,

so I took French. I discovered I have a tin ear for languag-es. A� er a year of study about all I could say in French was “French fries.”

I then spent several quarters at the University of Wash-ington looking for something else.

I found journalism — or maybe it found me. � e writ-ing was fun and interesting and I quickly knew that done right, a journalist could give back to the community by accurately telling readers what was going on in the world around them.

It didn’t matter if I personally agreed with the person or the issue in my story. I’ve always believed that if a commu-nity had as much information as possible about a situation or issue, it would make the right decision — whatever that decision turned out to be.

In other words, I wanted to tell the story, not be part of it.

All the papers I’ve worked for — dailies and weeklies —

Use hearing examiner to review barricade issue

I am pleased to see that the Sam-mamish City Council approved instructing the city manager to embark on a study regarding details about the removal of the Opti-Com barricade located at the 19900 block of Northeast 42nd Street. I hope that the city will engage a professional tra� c engineer to study the issue and look at both sides of the issue.

� en implement the Barricade Re-view Process established in 2010 or engage a hearing examiner to make a recommendation to the council for action.

It really seems like the sta� does not want to be in the middle of this contentious issue, so I strongly rec-ommend that a hearing examiner be employed. A hearing examiner will be objective in reviewing the facts, an arbiter of the facts one might say. � e city has stalled on mak-ing a decision on this barricade for years. � e citizens deserve a fair and impartial decision on this issue.

Some assert that removal of the

barricade will have negative a� ects to the neighborhood to the west, but they overlook the negative a� ect the barricade causes the neighborhood to the east at the present time. � ey also overlook the big picture regard-ing tra� c circulation, signal warrants and reduced level of service issues caused by the barricade diverted tra� c.

I am certain that these folks are well meaning and just reacting to a fear of more tra� c. So let us embark on a study to look at the facts and stop the emotional attempts to silence and subvert the study of this issue. I think it is only fair and neigh-borly for both neighborhoods to take their fair share of the tra� c rather than divert all of the tra� c through one neighborhood with a barricade.

Answers needed on Sammamish trail

The East Lake Sammamish Trail has hit a fever pitch with the 90 percent review completed on section 2A. The Feb. 17 city council meeting was evidence of the mounting frustration as to the handling of this, both by the county, and our own city.

If King County fails to hear our citizens and leaders, then our council has the power to withhold permitting to the county until they do. I certainly hope county leaders like Dow Constantine, Jane Hague and Kathy Lambert will listen, and that reasoning and common sense won’t escape King County’s Kevin Brown on this process.

If they cannot get answers from the county that satisfy council and citizens alike, permitting should be withheld until amicable solutions can be found between the county and city. Council: don’t let the coun-ty steam roll us, and get the answers before that review is 100 percent complete. � e clock is ticking.

have emphasized local, community news. And these days, more than ever, I think that’s what we need.

We’re coming and going so fast that many of us don’t know our neighbors. After a long, grinding commute to and from work, we’re often too exhausted to attend a public meeting. At the same time, we’re bombarded with an endless stream of information through social media.

Journalists always have been there to help sort that out.

�ese days that’s becoming more of a challenge. Gathering news and getting it to readers (or viewers) is labor intensive. Someone has to go to the meeting to tell you what went on. Someone has to inter-view o�cials to �nd out where they stand on issues. Someone has to gather the bits and pieces of community events and give them to you in a concise, readable way.

These days there are a host of blogs. But that doesn’t mean they’re a source for news, regardless of what they say.

When the Seattle P-I said it was end-ing its print edition and being on-line only, many people commented that that was OK because they only read the P-I online anyway. Perhaps it didn’t dawn on them that the only reason there were local stories online was that the P-I’s print reporters wrote them and put them there.

The P-I saved money when it ended its print edition. No more paper and ink to buy or people to pay to operate the press. But it still needed reporters to write sto-

ries. And, unfortunately, online advertis-ing doesn’t yet produce enough revenue to pay for lots of reporters. Fortunately Sound Publishing still believes in com-munity newspapers and provides stories both in print and online.

I’ve also been amazed in how produc-ing news for readers has changed over time.

My first newspaper job (not count-ing delivering them) was operating a linotype machine, a mechanical behe-moth that injected molten metal into brass molds of letters and cast them into lines of type. I did this alone at night at a community newspaper and also operated the press — again on my own.

I was 15. It was great fun and I’m still thankful

that state or federal agencies didn’t find out and tell me I couldn’t do what was obviously a dangerous job.

As I began working on newspapers as a journalist, news stories were produced on strips of glossy paper and pasted on to sheets to make news pages, which were photographed to make plates to go on a press. Today we can generate news stories and photos on our cell phones and send them instantly around the world.

As I approach my last week here at the Reporter, I’ve been looking back at a number of stories I have covered. A memorable one was spending a day with Issaquah schools superintendent Kateri Brow as cancer forcer her to make changes in her life, but not stint on service to kids, teachers and the com-munity.

The Eastside was — and still it — full of remarkable people doing their best to

make this area the special place it is.So, now, though I’m saying “goodbye,”

I’m also saying “hello.”Reporting and editing stories doesn’t

fit into a predictable work day so too often writing and editing the news becomes all-consuming. There’s always a story out there to be discovered and covered.

The result is that I’ve had less time than I wanted to be personally involved in the community. I’ve done some volun-teering, of course. I’ve been on the board of what is now Leadership Eastside. And I served on and been president of the Eastside board of United Way. And somehow I’ve managed to donate 100 units of blood or plasma to the Puget

Sound Blood Center (it’s now called Bloodworks — pretty apt, I think). That last feat is due to their continuing to call me to donate and me having the good sense to say “yes.”

With more time, I hope to find more ways to help out in the community. I still have that need to make the world a bet-ter place. Let me know if you have some ideas. I should have some time to spare.

I won’t be in the office, of course. But you can contact me at [email protected].

It’s been an honor and a privilege to be part of your lives.

Craig Groshart can be contacted a�er today at [email protected].

reforms before full fund needs to be resolved.

�e sentence Rep. Ma-gendanz uses is taken from a section of the decision entitled “Funding the Basic Education Program with Local Levies.” �e section consists of six paragraphs (150-155), all of which address the issue of reliance upon local levies in lieu of state funding. It de�es logic

to suggest the focus of a sen-tence in the last paragraph of this section on funding is, instead, a reference to some-thing entirely di�erent.

If Rep. Magendanz pro-poses to hold up full fund-ing of basic education until he get some list of reforms accomplished, I’d appreciate it if he’d make clear that is his decision and/or the cau-cus’s decision. To pretend it’s something required by the state Supreme Court is simply not accurate.

Market to be located in downtown Sammamishalong 228th Avenue corridorBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A Metropolitan Market, a full-service grocery store, looks to open in downtown Sammamish, on 228th Avenue across from Eastside Catholic School.

� e market will be located within � e Village, a yet-to-be developed area that will include a walkable, dense, neighborhood oriented, mixed-use developments located on almost 6.5 acres within the zoning for the Sammamish Town Center.

“We are extremely excited about coming to the Sammamish market,” Metropolitan Market CEO Todd Korman said during a Sammamish Chamber of Commerce meeting last week.

� is will be the seventh store to open in the greater Seattle area.

� e market will be between 17,000-48,000 square feet. It will employ more than 800 people when it opens at the end of 2016, Kor-man said.

“We’ll buy all of our products straight from the source,” he said.

� e store contracts with 550 vendors from Washington and Oregon to insure high-qual-ity products.

Korman boasts the market will support various hot products, prepared in house, like freshly baked cookies, a seafood salad bar or pizza sold by the slice. He said the company had sent employees to di� erent parts of the world to master the technique of cooking these various foods.

� e Metropolitan Market will be the anchor of � e Village it’s constructed within, Princi-pal of TRF Paci� c LLC Tim Russell said.

TRF Paci� c, the developer, is still in the process of working the city and � nalizing design plans.

� e Village is slated to include 95,000 to 115,000 square feet of commercial space and from 120 to 159 multi-family housing units, according to TRF Paci� c LLC’s development plan it submitted to the city.

Ideally, multiple restaurants would occupy the commercial space, as well as a medical clinic, Russell said.

Various trails and paths will allow people to easily make their way through � e Vil-lage. � ere will be elevators so people can easily scale the hill the development will occupy.

� e Village plans to capture rainwater, which it will use to irrigate the landscaping.

� e Metropolitan Market’s front door will be located on the west side of the building, not facing 228th Avenue. � e market’s park-

ing lot will also be tucked behind the building to minimize its view from the main corridor. � ere will be additional parking on top of the market’s roof.

� e Village will be constructed across the block, between Fourth Street and down to East Main Street.

An example of what the Metropolitan Market, and The Village, might look like from across 228th Avenue and East Main Street.

� e store is the 331st owned by Savers Inc., and the 200th in the United States. It’s the fourth in the company’s Eastside backyard. Savers’ corporate o� ce is located in Bel-levue and it had previously opened Value Village locations in Redmond, Kirkland and Woodinville.

� e company’s Savers stores — known as Value Village in the Paci� c Northwest — are private for-pro� t thri� operations. However, each store partners with nonpro� t organizations to provide � nancial support, typically through clothes donated to the nonpro� t that Savers stores then buy up at a bulk rate.

Value Village Issaquah is primar-ily partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound.

� ose funds will help Big Brothers Big Sisters pay for case managers and one-on-one mentors for kids at risk of dropping out of school, CEO Amy Mack said.

“Every 26 seconds in this country, a child drops out of school,” she said.

Value Village’s Issaquah store is also partnered with the Issaquah Schools Foundation, the Issaquah Food Bank, Eastside Baby Corner and Northwest Center.

to the city’s adaptive signal control technology concept of operations document dated November 2014. � e current system is not capable of handling such � uctuations.

� e city’s total budget for the project is almost $670,000. It was granted $462,000 in federal funds, most of which are allocated for construction costs.

City Public Works Direc-tor Laura Philpot said the city most likely will choose the lowest bidder, assum-ing they meet the city’s standards.

Pioneer Cable Inc.’s bid was the lowest, of $509,737, out of the eight submitted, according to the public works department.

� e project is still within its � rst phase.

Many project details and related data are outlined thoroughly in the city’s November 2014 operations document.

In the 228th Avenue cor-ridor, the main stretch of Sammamish, the high traf-� c peak hours are between 7-8 a.m. and between 3-6 p.m.

Depending on the time of day, northbound or southbound tra� c dominate. � ere is more tra� c moving southbound during the morning peak hours; northbound tra� c dominates in the a� ernoon peak hours.

“� e one- to three-signal-cycle plans that are used cannot e� ciently respond to the tra� c varia-tions during the day,” the city’s operations document stated.

� ere are anywhere between 1,700 and 2,600 vehicles per hour in the morning peak hours. � ere are 1,780 vehicles per hour and 3,000 vehicles per hour between 5-6 p.m.

Tra� c is expected to increase as the city’s town center develops.

� ere are many limita-tions the current system presents, like its inability to

recover e� ciently a� er in unexpected incident, such as an accident or emer-gency vehicles stopping the regular � ow of tra� c.

� e adaptive technology would solve many of these issues, including reducing the city’s long-term mainte-nance costs.

Some more complex things the system will be able to handle include running a le� turn phase before and a� er oppos-ing tra� c is let through, the ability to separately monitor each lane and take action depending on the conditions measured in each lane and maximize the time a green light is held.

Sammamish City Coun-cil will pick a contractor at the March 3 council meeting at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall.

� e city hopes to have the system installed by the end of summer, Philpot said.

Crews install air ducts, raise walls, �t roofsBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

�e Sammamish Com-munity and Aquatic Center’s gymnasiums are taking shape as crews began placing the roof Monday.

�e $33.8 million build-ing, which sits behind the Sammamish Library, will be the �rst community gym or pool in Sammamish.

“People always say we have so many lakes, but there wasn’t any place for their children to learn to swim,” said city project manager Sevda Baran.

Baran and parks project manager Anjali Myer have

been involved with the proj-ect for years, since its early stages in 2011.

Both are excited for the building to add to the syn-ergy, as Myer put it, of the town’s growing center.

“It’s �tting well with the landscape,” Myer said. “We haven’t lost our views of Seattle from the plaza or the library.”

Once built, the YMCA will contract through the city to run the facility and will be responsible for providing the equipment, furniture and �xtures.

�e Y contributed $5 mil-lion to construction costs.

Roughly 69,000 square feet, the center boasts two swimming pools, two gyms, a �tness center, locker rooms, a child care facility and various o�ce spaces.

Porter Brothers Construc-tion crews of between 40-60 people continue to erect inner metal framing for walls and lay the ventilation ducts.

�e 125-ton crane used can be seen from 228th Avenue.

Next week crews will begin construction on the aquatic portion of the center.

�is week crews also worked to erect the lower level of the parking garage.

Above the underground structure there will be a sur-face parking walking lot.

In total, these spaces should accommodate 300 vehicles.

�e six-lane lap pool, roughly 3,500 square feet, and the leisure pool, roughly 2,800 square feet, are located on the �rst �oor.

�e leisure pool will fea-ture a slide and a lazy river.

�e �tness area sits above the lap pool and overlooks the leisure pool.

In less than two weeks, the Issaquah School District will complete the �nal step of �nancing for its current capital projects campaign.

On March 10, �nancial �rm Piper Ja�ray will sell its fourth and �nal issue of bonds for the sale approved by Issaquah, Sammamish and Renton voters in 2012.

In a special election held in April of that year, voters approved more than $219 million in bonds to be sold to investors to �nance repairs, upgrades, expansions and total rebuilds of a handful of school campuses, as well as athletic facilities districtwide.

Apollo and Issaquah Valley elementary schools were rebuilt over spring and summer 2014; construction on Sunny Hills Elementary, Issaquah Middle School and Clark Elementary will commence this summer.

�e �nal bond issuance will consist of the sale of more than $54 million in new bonds.

�e district and Piper Ja�ray are also looking at poten-tially refunding district bonds issued in 2007 and 2008.

In investment parlance, refunded bonds are bonds with the principle cash amount held in escrow by the original debt issuer and are thus considered exceptionally stable investments by rating organizations. Refunding is used as a means to re�nance debts to take advantage of interest rates that have lowered since the original bond issuance.

“From an interest rate perspective, this is a very opportune time to be accessing capital markets,” Piper Ja�ray Senior VP Trevor Carlson said, speaking to the school board Feb. 11. “�e global situation in Europe and China slowing and things of that nature have driven interest rates down to very, very low levels.”

Legally, bond re�nancing can only �nancially bene�t taxpayers. Repayment of the school district’s bonds has been funded through property tax levies on lands within its boundaries. Property owners would see savings of “basically a penny or two,” according to Carlson, per $1,000 of property value. However, the savings would be almost double the 5 percent threshold preferred by the district, Carlson said.

�e price of refund sales would depend on the market conditions for interest rates, but are estimated at more than $66 million on the 2007 bonds and $40 million on the 2008 bonds.

Eastside Catholic's Iwicki nabs state title in 145-pound classBY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

A level headed demeanor has served Eastside Catholic Crusaders senior Matt Iwicki well throughout his high school wrestling career.

� e even-keeled Iwicki attained his ultimate goal, registering a convincing 5-1 victory against Bonney Lake's Avery Meyer in the Class 3A 145-pound champion-ship match at the Mat Classic Class 3A state tournament on Feb. 21 at the Tacoma Dome. Iwicki took a 2-0 lead with 52 seconds le� in the � rst round and built a commanding 5-0 lead at the conclusion of the second round. � e outcome was never in doubt, which is exactly the way Iwicki likes it.

"I usually try to wrestle conservatively and just be in control and not scare my coaches in any way," Iwicki said with a smile. "I really wanted to solidify the win and not let anything bad happen."

Iwicki, who also won a state champion-ship in the 120-pound division as a sopho-more, was ecstatic to win his second state title in four years.

"Being a two-time champion was the main part. It’s never really happened at my school before. It's been a great ride the whole way," Iwicki said. "I'm glad I was able to solidify it with a win at the end. � at is the most rewarding part."

Eastside Catholic head coach Dennis Reddinger said Iwicki is a super kid who was great to work with over the past four years.

"Matt is intelligent, coachable, is such a great sportsman and has great character. It makes it easy to work with wrestlers like that because he works so hard. He sets an example for the other kids in the mat room of what you can obtain and what you can be if you really work at it and put your

heart into it," Reddinger said. Reddinger noted that Iwicki knew what

he had to do this year.“He set his goals on the championship

and that was it," Reddinger said. "His goal was to be undefeated and not give up any points all season long. He did give up a few points and he gave up one point (in the � nals) out there, but he realized his goal of winning the championship. He gets to go out a winner."

Skyline Spartans senior 120-pound wrestler Nathan Swanson captured third place in the Class 4A tournament. Swanson held on for a 3-2 victory against Graham-Kapowsin freshman Chad Simonson in the third place/fourth place match. Swanson took a 3-2 lead with 47 seconds le� in the third round. Swanson prevented Simonson from tying the match with an escape in the � nal six seconds of the match.

"I knew it was the last seconds of my wrestling career so I just held on tight," Swanson said. "� is just feels absolutely amazing. It's the best feeling I have ever had. I have been working toward this for the past three years."

Eastside Catholic's Alex Neale captured seventh place in the 285-pound weight class.

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world of sports and recreation

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastside Catholic Crusaders senior 285-pound wrestler Alex Neale put together his best per-formance of the 2014-15 season in the final match of his high school career.

Neale pinned Shorewood's Erca Erdenebayer in just 12 seconds in the seventh place/

eighth place match in the 285-pound

division, earn-ing seventh place at the Mat Classic

Class 3A state tournament

on Feb. 21 at the Tacoma Dome. He finished with an overall record of 3-2 at the tournament.

Neale, who will play football at the University of Nevada (Las Vegas), throughly enjoys the one-on-one aspect of wrestling.

"Wrestling is more difficult than football because of the amount of conditioning that you have to do," Neale said. "When you mess up, you know it’s your fault. There is nowhere to hide on the mat."

Recently, the Issaquah Re-porter had an opportunity to ask

Neale a few questions about his life outside of sports world.

Issaquah Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Alex Neale: I like "Top Gun." It's one of the most patriotic

movies I know and I'm a big fan of the USA.

IR: What is your biggest pet peeve?

AN: When people swish stuff in their mouth.

IR: How many text messages do you send per day?

AN: Now that I got a girl-friend, probably too many.

IR: What is your favorite hobby away from sports?

AN: Playing video games.

IR: What is your favorite res-taurant in Sammamish?

AN: The Sammamish Cafe.

IR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be?

AN: Ronald Reagan. He is my favorite president of all time.

IR: Who is your pick to win the National Basketball Associa-tion finals this June?

AN: I don't follow basketball, but I will say the Sacramento Kings.

Stress, anxiety, pain?Hypnosis can helpBY LAURA RUDESPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Stress and anxiety are two normal reactions to the pressures of every-day life. Unfortunately, they can lead to weight gain, insomnia, aches and pains or other issues that make life less than enjoy-able. Stress and anxiety, as well as chronic pain cause some people to become dependent on sleeping pills or pain killers, to overeat, smoke, or abuse alcohol or drugs.

Since all of us experience stress and anxiety, how can we ensure that these conditions don’t ruin our health and well being? One very e� ective method that can keep us healthy and well in both mind and body is hypnosis.

Although o� en misunderstood, hypnosis is simply a state of focused attention that allows a person to better respond to suggestions. A hypnotherapist will guide the person to a relaxed state and have them focus their atten-tion on speci� c thoughts or tasks.

Hypnosis can help people change certain behaviors, such as smoking, drinking too much, or biting their nails, and can also help people change perceptions and sensations to alleviate stress, anxiety, fear, insomnia or pain.

Hypnosis is increasingly being employed in main-stream medicine. Safe and e� ective, hypnosis has no adverse side e� ects and can be a great bene� t for a wide range of issues.

Laura Rude is a certi� ed hypnotherapist with HealthWise Hypnosis.
