Mark Mullet to take on Cheryl Pfl ug in 5th Dist. Senate raceBY CELESTE [email protected]
Mark Mullet, owner of Zeek’s Pizza in the Highlands, will challenge a long-standing Republican for her state Sen-ate seat in Olympia.
An Issaquah coun-cilmember for three years, he is the fi rst serious Democrat can-didate to challenge a seat in the Republican-held Fift h District in several years.
While Mullet considered running for Rep. Glenn Anderson’s open seat in November, the senator’s position is much more im-portant to the Democrats maintaining power in Olympia, he said.
Mullet said he also hopes to be a better advocate for the cities than Sen. Cheryl Pfl ug. Issaquah is considering paying a lobbyist to speak on its behalf in Olympia, Mullet noted, adding that this should be Pfl ug’s responsibility, but she hasn’t been responsive.
Mullet, 39, was fi rst drawn into public service aft er his father, Steve, ran his reelection campaign in Tukwila for mayor.
Seeing how his father had impacted his community was an eye opener into the world of politics, he said. “Th ere is no better place to make a positive con-tribution in the lives of other people.”
He earned a master’s in public aff airs from the University of Washington in 2008 and the next year took an unchal-lenged seat on Issaquah’s council.
Calling himself fi scally conservative and socially liberal, Mullet supports the governor’s eff ort to legalize gay marriage and would support further attempts to legalize marijuana.
On city council, he was the strongest supporter of providing space for collec-tive marijuana gardens.
He doesn’t think major cuts should come from state workers, and would instead focus on reducing healthcare costs through transparency and health

Giving HistoryIssaquah History Museums make the fi nd of the decadeBY CELESTE [email protected]
Ryan Heidy was about to open the Issaquah Coff ee Company, when he found the 1960s sign hidden in
some bushes on Gilman Boulevard.A piece of modern history, it invited
newcomers to join the city’s service clubs – Lions on Th ursday, Garden Club at Gibson Hall and the Knights of Py-thias every second and fourth Tuesday.
He cleaned it up to the best of his abilities – rust had eaten through the green paint and streaked the white let-tering with red – and hung it behind the counter in the cafe.
“It wasn’t being displayed in a way that was worthy of how cool it was,” he said.
However, there are few better loca-tions for the piece than the coff ee shop, which is located in an historic farm-house and, since opening a year ago, has become a hub in the neighborhood.
Th e Issaquah History Museum didn’t
realize Heidy’s fi nd until a large number of callers insisted it take a look.
Historians are now numbering the sign among their biggest fi nds of the year. For a museum that relies solely on the generosity of others to fi ll its exhibits, last year produced some of the best donations of the decade, including an 19th-century fi ddle, a 1980s public works patch and the high alter piece of a Catholic mission.
SHARING THE PASTAs a boy, Garry Anderson regularly
heard the stories of the Issaquah settlers from his great grandmother, and with few other things to do it was oft en the entertainment for the evening.
“I was intrigued by it all,” he saidAs he got older, he shared his love for
local history with his aunt, who was a direct descendent from the Bush fam-ily for whom the city’s street is named. When she was near death, she gave him the fi ddle of a man named Tom Cherry, who followed the Bush family from South Carolina, along the Oregon Trail and up to Issaquah.
A talented fi ddler, Cherry and his vio-lin were likely one of the few sources of
live music or entertainment for the rural town, said Erica Maniez, an Issaquah historian.
Aside from having the most promi-nent gravestone in Issaquah, little is known of Cherry, but stories say he was orphaned, raised by a black family in the South, and never had a family.
Anderson had the violin for several years, in its original purple lined case, when he decided it would get better care in the hands of the museum.
Th is 19th-century violin, donated by Garry Anderson was the Issaquah History Museum’s biggest acquisition this year.CELESTE GRACEY,

It can strike children, but most commonly affects people in the age range of 20 to 50. It is between two to three times more common in women than men and is more prevalent in northern climates. The exact causes and a cure for MS have yet to be discovered, but new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.
Customer donations will go to two local chapters of the Society: The Greater
Northwest Chapter which proudly serves more than 12,000 people with MS living in Alaska, Montana, Central and Western Washington and the Oregon Chapter which serves more than 7,200 individuals with MS and their families in Oregon and SW Washington.

Education advocates are hoping a ruling from Washington State Supreme Court,
which called the legisla-ture’s underfunding of schools illegal, will keep lawmakers from cutting school funds again this year.
Th e 7-2 ruling came just a couple days before legislators returned to Olympia to deal with a $1
billion budget shortfall.Before the legislative session, Gov. Chris
Gregoire proposed cutting the school year by four days to save money. Education makes up about a quarter of the state’s budget.
Th e Supreme Court ruling upheld previous court decisions, saying that the legislature wasn’t funding “basic education” as required in the state’s constitution.
Th e ruling validates what the Issaquah School District has experienced with budget cuts, but it’s not a “windfall for schools,” said Supt. Steve Rasmussen.
At the very least, it sends a message to lawmakers about further cutting k-12 educa-tion, he said. “But it will take some serious reform before we get a funding system that comes close to covering the actual cost of a basic education in this state.”
State School Superintendent Randy Dorn hailed the court’s ruling as another victory in a long legal battle to fund education.
“Th e ruling confi rms what I have been saying for many years: education funding has not been adequate, and further cuts are out of the question.”
Th e case, McCleary v. State, was fi led in 2007 by a variety of groups, including the state’s PTSA. Issaquah supported the suit by fi ling a formal supporting document. It was also one of the few districts called upon to provide fi nancial information for the plaintiff ’s arguments.
In addition to the ruling, the court put itself in charge of making sure the Legisla-ture and the governor implement needed fi nancial reforms by 2018.

Nathan Bosseler had no idea how a simple trip to the grocery store seven years ago would change his life, or that of a former high school acquaintance.
“I went down to Safeway, I was just getting sandwich,” said the now 27-year-old.
While waiting for his Primo Taglio Italian, Bosseler bumped into fellow 2002 Eastlake graduate, Jonathan Campbell.
The two, who hadn’t seen each other in a couple of years, got to talking.
Bosseler had just earned a degree at Bellevue College and was a few months into the launch of Impact Studio Pro — a video marketing agency ran in the upstairs of his parent’s Sammamish home.
Campbell, a computer whiz and a recent Bellevue College grad, was stocking the Safeway refreshment shelves. He admittedly was looking for different work.
“He asked ‘You do websites?,’” Campbell said. “I said, ‘yeah.’”
As quickly as that, a dynamic part-nership was formed.
Not long and Bosseler, an expert with cameras and the visual arts, along with Campbell, who was versed in computer programming, combined their skills to gain notable clients for ISP.
The first of those was the City of Sammamish, which the duo did the video work for events like council meetings and the Concert in the Park series.
Their performance in Sammamish earned them recommendations with other significant clients like the City of Sea-Tac, Westfield South Center Mall and the Gene Juarez Academy. That led to doing promotional and training videos for 100 more clients — all of whom Bosseler said they still maintain.
As ISP picked up momentum, it sparked another idea for Campbell.
After watching the City of Samma-mish program DVD players and VHS tapes to air events on Channel 21, he thought why not make it easier — cre-ate a digital software-based scheduling system that can be accessed securely and remotely.
In 2006, Campbell started to develop the first version of CASTUS — an open
source, high-definition program that simplified video broadcasting. In short, it’s an interface that allows the users to go on to their computer and access their content in their library and schedule it for different times of the day, any day of the week.
CASTUS differs from similar opera-tions in that it is completely software based, cutting out the propriety, third parties and the expense that come with hardware.
“I wanted to influence the industry in a positive direction, technical-wise, standard-wise — bring it to a more affordable level so more there’s more news, widespread media to put out there,” Campbell said.
Three different versions and five years later, CASTUS has not only gained a solid footing regionally, but on a national stage.
Last month, Bosseler and Campbell sold their program to the Texas Chris-tian University School of Journalism. The university is using the software to broadcast sports games, live news casts and various other forms of live and recorded programming.
“It’s exciting for us because the students are learning CASTUS and operating it ... that’s setting an industry standard for them,” Bosseler said. “It’s really cool.”
They also recently sold the CASTUS program to an eastern Washington cable company.
Building clientele has come about in
various ways for the pair, who started with little to no business experience. Bosseler and Campbell agree it really comes down to one thing — valuing the customer.
“Our products have become suc-cessful because we’ve listened to the clients and we’ve put everything they’ve asked for into the system,” Bosseler said. “Some people would criticize us for that, saying they should be paying for that.”
Up until last October, ISP and CASTUS were operated as one. Bosseler recently decided to split them into two entities because one is a product and one is a service.
They run the five-person operation out of an apartment in the Issaquah Highlands. With a frozen pizza on the stove, an X-Box, Nintendo Wii and set of Rock Band drums hidden behind servers, the relaxed office environment might resemble more of a dorm room.
Bosseler admitted the atmosphere is extremely relaxed. But, he said there are dreams of obtaining a professional office space with their brand on the exterior of the building — a goal that seems more and more likely as business continues to grow.
Bosseler, a member of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, was also clear that no matter how large they get, they won’t go too far.
“We love Issaquah, we love our busi-ness, love the Chamber and we want to keep it here within the community and expand,” he said

Issaquah’s CASTUS goes nationalSAMMAMISH COUPLE REPURCHASES FASTSIGNS BUSINESS
At the end of November, Sammamish residents Scott and Rochelle Juetten once again became the owners of the Bellevue FASTSIGNS sign and graphics center.
The Juettens opened the Bellevue FASTSIGNS in December 1990 and later opened another location in Seattle. Over the next 17 years, the couple built both centers into two of the most successful FASTSIGNS centers in the country.
“In 2007, Scott and I decided to sell both locations so that we could pursue other business opportunities and also spend more time with our two children,” Rochelle said. “Recently, the Bellevue location became available and we jumped at the opportunity.”
COSTCO REVENUE RISES, JUST MISSES WALL STREET EXPECTATIONS
Costco Wholesale Corp.’s revenue at stores open at least a year rose 7 percent in December, narrowly missing Wall Street’s expectations.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters predicted that the figure would climb 7.6 percent. It is a key in-dicator of a retailer’s health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
In the U.S, revenue at stores open at least a year increased 7 percent, while the metric rose 9 percent abroad.
Wholesale club operator Costco said Jan. 5 that higher gas prices helped its results, while foreign exchange rates hurt its performance slightly during the month.
ISSAQUAH CHAMBER READY FOR FIRST LUNCHEON OF NEW YEAR

Neighbors?Regarding your headline: New neighbors. Gag.It would have been more honest if it had read:
“Slade succeeds in the most dishonest, swarthy and slimy redistricting gerrymandering in the history of the once stellar state of Washington.”
It is a joke. That part of the woods HATES this side. They are repressive, regressive and very vit-riolic self absorbed Didier fans. You can take a trip over and feel it for yourself.
Reichert will be a carpetbagger that they love. Non-starter, non-thinker, non-creative, non-con-structive, pro-gun of course, fundamentalist, does not think much of woman, fakes environmentalism, signed Norquists’ pledge and is not that intelligent.
We will forever be stuck in that mold. But this parasite will be in good company with Hastings and McMorris who do not have to do a lick of work while they live off of the taxpayer that they totally dislike.
Do an honest report. Bet you can’t.Sally Montgomery, Issaquah
UW policy flawedSo is this the UWs new outreach program? Level 3
sex off enders? Child molesters no less!UW spokesman Norm Arkans says, “He didn’t
think the UW could deny the men an education.” Why not? Every year the UW denies education to literally thousands of deserving high school seniors with grade points of 3.8 g.p.a. or better.
I think Mr. Arkans should be compelled to explain to this group why two convicted child molesters in their 40s are more deserving of a UW education than they are.
Asinine decisions like this make the UW look ridiculous. As a graduate I’m embarrassed.

Community stepped upI wanted to publicly acknowledge and thank
everyone who participated in our Adopt-A-Family program – especially CHAPTERS, the PTSA at Chestnu. In all, 111 YES families, including 291
children and 137 parents or caretakers, had a joyous Christmas that included clothing, toys and gift cards for food.
Th ese holiday donations were on top of the fi nan-cial contributions that poured in during the last few weeks of the year, helping YES reach our highest-ever annual fund development goal. Because of the generosity of individuals, organizations, businesses and foundations, Eastside kids in crisis can get the help they need, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
Every year since YES was founded in 1968, the community has stepped up to show that it cares for youth. I am so appreciative and humbled by what this means to the kids and families we serve.
Like many human service agencies, YES is learning to do more with less. While government subsidies and donations are being squeezed, YES experienced a 24 percent increase in amount of uncompensated care we provided to over 739 clients who could not aff ord to pay for the care they needed.
Th e support of the community means youth strug-gling with emotional distress, molestation, physical violence or substance abuse are seen by a caring and qualifi ed counselor as soon as possible.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!Patti Skelton-McGougan, Executive Director, Youth Eastside Services
The Washington State Supreme Court ruled last week that the state is not complying with its constitutional duty to “make ample provision for the basic education of all children in
Washington.”Is anyone surprised?It’s not just that the state is nickel-and-diming our kids; it’s more
like it’s doing it by $5s and $10s. We know the state has a fi nancial problem. Th e Legislature
convened Monday and lawmakers will have to deal with a $1 billion shortfall to the state’s budget. Th at makes fi nding adequate money for education all the more diffi cult.
But the court didn’t say “oh, in that case, ‘never mind.’” In fact, it has retained jurisdiction over the case to, as it says, “facilitate prog-ress in the state’s plan to fully implement the reforms by 2018.”
Th at means it could take another six years before the state fi nally fi xes our broken educational system and gives our kids the educa-tion they deserve and the state constitution says the state is legally bound to provide.
Th at timeframe is bad, but it’s actually worse. Th e case prompting the Supreme Court ruling was fi led in 2007. A coalition of teach-ers, school districts, community groups and parents argued that the state had not fulfi lled its constitutional obligation to fully fund basic education and relied too heavily on local levies to do the job.
In other words, the state passed the buck to local taxpayers to do what it is required to do. Of course, the state also limits how much money we can raise locally to provide teachers in our classrooms.
Th e answer doesn’t mean the state should local school districts raise whatever they can from local taxpayers. Th at would leave poor school districts even further behind wealthier areas – such as ours – in providing an education for their kids.
Th e answer is for the state to do its job. And it should fi nd a way to do this sooner than 2018. Our kids need a decent education now.
Budget holesHere’s one reason the state has a hole in its budget.Th e state put its Discover Pass into eff ect July 1, 2011, requiring
people to buy one if they wanted to access state parks, heritage sites, wildlife and natural areas, and any recreation lands or water-access sites managed by Washington State Parks, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Th e $30 pass (or $10 daily pass per vehicle) was projected to raise $15.6 million.
Actual revenue? Only $6.5 million.A survey found people who had two cars balked at buying the
pass because it wasn’t transferable between vehicles. Wow. Who knew?

The following information was compiled from Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:
Sammamish police spotted a dirt bike traveling southbound in the 3300 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, going well above the posted 35 mph zone.
Both occupants were not wearing hel-mets and the dirt bike was not equipped with any lights or license plates. Police began pursuit, exceeding speeds of 90 mph to try and close the gap.
At the 3700 block, the officer watched the dirt bike slow and try to make a left turn on Southeast 39th Street, but it was still traveling way too fast to negotiate the turn. The bike wobbled back and forth and both occupants hit the ground.
Neither the driver or the passenger were injured. The dirt bike operator was arrested for his reckless driving, stating, “I know I messed up big time.” The two occupants were borrowing the bike from a friend.
Go team, goPolice were mistakenly called to a
domestic violence incident on Front Street South, after a married couple began shout-ing excitedly over a college football game Jan. 2.
The husband and wife were rooting for opposite teams. There was no sign of
altercation
Drunk takes out treesA drunk Issaquah woman hit several
trees and a road sign before stopping on top of a fire hydrant in an Issaquah neigh-borhood Dec. 29.
When police arrived, they also found a tree under her car and a bottle of beer roll-ing around on the floorboards. Both the front passenger airbags had engaged.
The police found the driver and pas-senger sitting on a couch inside the home near where they had crashed. The 20-year-old driver denied having had anything to drink. The officer asked them to step outside, so the homeowners could go to bed. It was about 2:30 a.m.
The officer could smell alcohol on her breath from several feet away. A search of her person revealed a fake ID, which she used to get into bars. As she searched through her car for her valid license, she repeatedly opened and closed her glove box, which had a baggy of marijuana in it.
The boyfriend said the woman picked him up in Capitol Hill and was driving him to her home, when she sped around a corner going 40 mph and lost control of the car.
The boyfriend called police. The woman was arrested and her blood alcohol level came back at .19 percent.

Issaquah councilmembers have set aside $900,000 to repair the failing Black Nugget Road retaining wall, but some say there still won’t be enough money to make the repairs until next year.
It was the largest last-minute change to the city’s $32 million budget, before the council voted to approve it late December.
While the majority of councilmembers felt the wall should be repaired in full when the money was available, Councilmember Joshua Schaer pushed to get a temporary fix this year, he said. “We’re on borrowed time with that wall.”
The city doesn’t have enough money for a $1.4 million repair, but a $270,000 fix would buy the city a few more decades, he said.
The money set aside for repairs comes from $1 million in savings on the new Maple Street fire station. Some of that money also went to ARCH, an Eastside low-income housing group.
Even though administrators are expect-ing to rearrange and lay off staff in Febru-ary, the budget process was fairly smooth. Issaquah maintained its $8.5 million reserve, crucial for a healthy city, and didn’t have to increase property taxes, a rare feat with inflation.
“A lot of people are hurting, a lot of
people are struggling financially, and it’s a recognition the council knows and understands,” said councilmember Fred Butler, who was reelected as deputy council president last week.
The decision not to increase taxes was in part made possible by a $1 million jump in sales tax revenue to $8 million, said Coun-cilmember Mark Mullet.
The hope is to continue that trend with the creation of an economic development team, which would help attract new busi-ness to the city.
The philosophy is that good cities don’t just regulate business, but help facilitate it, Mullet said.
While Butler and Mullet were pleased with the budget’s conservative approach, Schaer would have liked to see more money for the Complete Streets initiative, which focuses on sidewalks and bike lanes, saying the fund was once again “gutted.”
Whereas 2011 was a year of completed projects, including the opening of the YWCA and Swedish Hospital, Issaquah expects to see a heavy year of planning and reorganizing in 2012.
In addition to the economic development department, councilmembers are expected to approve the Central Issaquah Plan by year’s end. Some also hope to approve plans to develop the Highland’s business district and decide on Confluence Park.
“We’ve got an exciting year ahead of us,” Butler said.

A 1960s service club meeting sign, which now hangs in the Issaquah Coff ee Company, was among several artifacts added to the Issaquah History Museums’ collection last year. CELESTE GRACEY, ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER
“It could mean more in Issaquah’s museum than in my family,” he said. “I didn’t want to get it thrown away on accident.”
In the fi ve years Julie Hunter has been the mu-seum’s collections manag-er, it’s the most signifi cant artifact she’s received.
Pieces like these high-light a new dimension of the city’s history, and they are a plus to the museum, which deals mostly in photographs, which fi ll fi ling cabinets and boxes in the slanted ceilings of the old Gilman Town Hall building.
In Maniez’s downstairs offi ce, a lackluster high alter piece of the city’s fi rst Catholic mission, St. Joseph’s, is propped up against a wall. Th e piece dates back to 1896.
Th e many stains, chips and holes on the white
wainscoting piece stand out. Th e museum plans to display it as is, Maniez said. “Part of the history is to see how rustic it is.”
A cross adorning the top of the alter was only painted on the front side, there was no point in
wasting paint on the back, said Hunter, a historian.
Th e piece was aban-doned in the 1960s when St. Joseph’s moved to a big, new building. When grass had come through the fl oorboards of the old white church, and the walls had all but collapsed, members of the congrega-tion salvaged it.
Aft er 50 years of being stored in their attic, their story and the piece will fi nd a home at the Historic Train Depot.
Th e museum is vital to the health of the commu-nity and keeping its his-tory alive, said Anderson aft er donating the violin. “It doesn’t take many gen-erations before it is gone.”

“I don’t think we’re in the mess we’re in be-cause of state workers.”
His fiscal conserva-tive flair comes through owning two small businesses, he says. He wants a more sustainable budget.
Father of four young daughters, education is his top priority for not only their sakes, but as a crucial tool for helping the economy to recover.
Maintaining roads and transit systems would be his second priority. Without good infra-structure, businesses can’t move goods around the country, he said.
From the start he won endorsements from Democrat state sena-tors, including Majority Leader Lisa Brown. For Mark Mullet, an opti-mist, it’s an opportunity to impact people’s lives, he said.
“I feel all these prob-lems we have can be solved, but there is a lot of hard work involved.”

BY CAROL LADWIGSNOQUALMIE VALLEY RECORD
After two failed attempts to transfer out of the Snoqualmie Valley School District, a group of Sammamish parents is deciding on their next move.
“We’re definitely frustrated,” said Terri Thompson, a parent from the Samma-mish neighborhood that petitioned to transfer into the Lake Washington School District. “I don’t think it’s over, but I don’t know.”
The petition, signed by Thompson and representatives from some 60 other families, requested changing the school district boundaries to allow their Samma-mish neighborhood to leave Snoqualmie Valley and join Lake Washington School District. Snoqualmie Valley School
District denied the petition Dec. 15, and Lake Washington did also on Monday.
This is the second petition filed by the neighborhood in the last 10 years. The first, filed in 2003, was denied by Snoqualmie Valley but approved by Lake Washington and went to the Puget Sound Education Service District for a final decision. The ESD ruled in favor of the petitioners in Oct. 8, 2003, but Snoqualmie Valley appealed the decision in November, and it was reversed the fol-lowing March.
Now, the petitioners may appeal.“Our little community feels like we
have no voice. We actually feel like we have no community,” Thompson said. “I think that our only choice left is to file an appeal, and possibly get it heard by a judge.”

Andy Pym knows how to motivate. Aft er working with Eastlake sopho-
more Edward Kim on the Bellevue Club Swim Team since Kim was in elementary school, the longtime coach is aware of exactly what to say to make sure Kim is pushing himself to his limits.
“At times when I’m not working hard he asks me, ‘do you think that will get you to Omaha?,” Kim said. “It drives me to work harder than I normally would.”
Th e reference to Omaha points towards Kim’s goal of making the Olympic Trials later this year in Omaha, NE. Kim won the 100 and 50 free for Eastlake at the 4A state championships last season and knows there is more on the horizon in the pool as both a prep and accomplished club competitor, including a chance at the maximum eight individual titles at the state meet.
He travelled to Stanford for the Junior Nationals and has swam at several other national club meets, learning some diffi cult lessons during the process aft er fi nishing 24th in one event and failing to make the fi nals in another.
“I’m just thinking, ‘Wow, I’m not even close to the top right now and I need to work harder,” Kim said of his mindset aft er junior nationals. “Th ey have probably worked twice as hard as I have.”
Pym said initially, Kim was some-what reserved in his passion for swim-ming. But as the time dropped and the records piled up, a light bulb went on and Kim’s potential in the pool
became obvious to both swimmer and coach.
“He’s dominated 15 and under locally and at the sectional level he’s pretty good, one of the top four or fi ve,” Pym said. His swimming abili-ties are really natural.”
While other club swimmers provide the type of top-level challenge Kim thrives on, the prep scene off ers some unique opportunities as well. In his fi rst year on campus at the high school, Kim has found swimming to be a bridge to other aspects of social life.
“When I came to Eastlake I didn’t know everyone and the swim team helped me meet more people,” Kim said. “I grew to know more people through the swim team and that has been a big facet helping me fi t in.”
It would be easy for the multiple state champ to coast along on sheer ability on the prep level, where many
of his opponents swim for fi tness and enjoyment rather than a shot at the Olympic Trails. But Eastlake coach Kate McCary (who also swam for Pym during her youth) insisted the exact opposite.
“He does whatever he can to be part of both teams and he makes it all work,” McCary said. “It sets a positive environment for the whole team.”
Rather than remaining content in Kim’s shadow, the rest of the Wolves have taken up the challenge of match-ing his intensity and dedication, earning a fi ft h place team fi nish at the 4A state swim and dive champion-ships last season. Perhaps no one has benefi tted more than 100 breaststroke champion Zach Alleva, a senior cap-tain for McCary and Eastlake in 2012.
“You don’t get to practice around guys that good very oft en,” said
Eastlake’s Kim eyes OmahaWolves’ sophomore hopes to add more state titles and trip to Nationals
When the word first came down that I would be taking over the sports in Is-saquah and Sammamish, there was a mix
of emotions. Without a doubt, there was excitement at the
opportunity of a new challenge: covering sports in one of the most passionate com-munities in our region and one I am linked to in so many ways.
There was also some anxiety at the prospects of taking over for yet another WNPA Sportswriter of the Year in Kevin Endejan.
Having grown up in Carnation when our local high school was still in KingCo, I vividly remem-ber the sights and sounds that have made Issaquah and Samma-
mish two of the most respected areas in the entire state for prep sports.
I remember watching Skyline struggle mightily with a team full of freshman during its first foot-ball season and then being awed three years later when Mitch Browne led the Spartans to a state championship.
The buzz when Blake Hawksworth and Andy Sisco were two of the brightest pitching prospects in Washington for Eastlake is still fresh in my mind and later, I would play for Blake’s father Mark when we were both at Eastside Catholic.
Issaquah’s 2004 senior class was legendary even in youth sports and a scrimmage with the multiple-time champs after they joined the GEJFA is still a vivid memory. As is watching that same group go toe-to-toe with Bellevue in the Tacoma Dome with a spot in the 3A finals on the line and then win the 3A title in baseball the following spring.
Eastside Catholic is obviously a place I have plenty of memories from as a student and seeing the school realize the vision that was conceived during my years there has been interesting to say the least.
While our coverage focus is changing along with our staff responsibilities, my hope is to con-tinue to maintain and even grow the attention on Issaquah and Sammamish sports and recreation.
I can’t forecast what exactly will become of the sports section, but I do know I’m going to put my best foot forward, listen to what our readers want in the paper and do everything in my power to make sure we cater to those desires and provide compelling, pertinent coverage of all things sports in Issaquah and Sammamish.
Ready for a new challenge

Alleva, who is an accom-plished club swimmer in his own right with Kim’s former team at Wave Aquatics. “When you do, it’s a good chance to push yourself and see if you
can beat him.”The competitive nature
of the two lends itself well during workouts and conditioning, but neither has allowed the friendly competi-tion to skew their perspec-tive or focus on the pos-sibilities for the Wolves in 2012. McCary has also been impressed with Kim’s willingness and desire to become part of the fabric of the team.
“He knows the boys and builds relationships with them no matter what level they are at,” McCary said.
Eastlake earned a pair of second place fin-ishes last year in the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay and with Kim, Alleva and Henry O’Neil returning from that group, have a chance to again make a run at both individual and team titles this season.

BY GABRIELLE NOMURAISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Although the confident high-school senior doesn’t show it – Jake Nicholson is nervous. It’s Jan. 7, opening night of “God-spell” at First Stage Theatre in Issaquah, and he plays a leading role – Judas.
He hopes he’ll be able to say his lines with finesse, and whip out that darn double pirouette in one of the dance numbers.
But when Nicholson takes the stage at 7:30 p.m., that fear gives way to an adrena-line rush.
This is why he loves to perform.The naturally-talented singer has been
involved with Village Theatre’s KIDSTAGE program for the past three years, in addi-tion to acting in community theater in his hometown, Renton. But recently, he’s been working hard to improve the dance element of musical theater performance.
Thanks to Village Theatre’s Institute, a program started a year ago for youth in grades 6 to 20 years, Nicholson is becom-ing the triple threat he’ll need to become to make it in show biz.
From 3:45-10 p.m. each Monday night, Nicholson and his friends can be found at First Stage Theatre for their institute classes.
Nicholson is able to connect with these likeminded young people better than many of his classmates at Bellevue Chris-tian School.
“I pick them up and we get dinner together,” he said.
In addition to performing in many of the KIDSTAGE productions, the institute students work with instructors to improve
their acting and vocal techniques, and even their high kicks and pirouettes. The program includes a college prep course for those like Nicholson, who hope to make musical theater a career.
Nicholson will audition for top pro-grams at University of Michigan, Ithaca and Carnegie Mellon this winter, and then learn where he was accepted in March.
The performer, who has had leading roles in “High School Musical 2” and “Hair-spray,” says he’s trying to keep an open mind about where he’ll land for his under-graduate education.
Eventually, he’d like to play Lumière in “Beauty and the Beast,” on Broadway. The spirited Disney candlestick, as well as Judas in “Godspell,” are examples of the
parts Nicholson likes.“It’s a balance of that funny guy, plus,
really good songs,” says the teen, who de-cided he wanted a career in the perform-ing arts last year.
Despite the thought that becoming a starving artist in a down economy is “absolutely terrifying,” Nicholson says, he can’t wait to try his luck at Broadway someday.
“This is going to sound so corny, but this is what makes me feel alive.”
“Godspell” runs through Jan. 22 at First Stage Theatre, 120 Front St. N, Issaquah. For more information about the show, and the Village Theatre youth programs, go to www.villagetheatre.org/.
