for and against the senior center’s board of directors and executive director.

Opponents of senior center leadership — a group including former city councilor Da-vid Kappler and former board member and active Issaquah Veterans of Foreign Wars quartermaster David Waggoner — alleged the center had reduced its services, improp-erly trespassed members, governed without transparency and created an environment intended to chill free speech and dissent.

Waggoner was trespassed from the center earlier this year and one longtime member, Reva Turtel, said she and her son’s names had been added to a publicly posted list of people who had called Mayor Butler about con-cerns with the center. Turtel, a Sammamish resident, said she had even been the target of anti-Semitism from other members.

“My sister and I are called ‘� e Bagel Sisters,’” she said during the human services commission meeting.

Current senior center board members � red back that the allegations were fabrica-tions coming from a disgruntled minority of members and that the repercussions of their communication with the city could threaten funding and damage services for the majority.

“I really don’t know what the problem is,” senior center board president Craig Hansen said. “I have no idea. I have no idea how it got to this point where our funding is in question.”

A major point of contention during the public comment session was the content of a letter published in the June 30 Issaquah Senior Center newsletter, written by senior center executive director Courtney Jaren

and the members of the center’s board of directors. � e letter directly responded to an article in the Issaquah Press about Waggoner’s trespass as well as subsequent protest of the action by Kappler. � e letter claimed a “conspiracy” against the center’s leadership and sta� , perpetrated by mem-bers whom had participated in “bullying, elder abuse, conversion of center assets for personal uses, defamation, and the protracted sabotage of [the center’s] kitchen and computers.” � e letter went on to al-lege a group of senior center members had “bull[ied] a vulnerable senior to death.”

Inez Petersen, an attorney representing some of the senior center’s members pro bono, called the content of the letter “outra-geous libelous allegations” in a July 29 letter

to Mayor Butler.Petersen’s letter included photos of three

posters she said had been hung in the center, apparently as a counter-campaign against seniors whom had contacted the city.

One of the posters used a crudely drawn cartoon of a senior center sta� er to appar-ently satirize mismanagement allegations. A second consisted of a poem referencing the alleged bullying death of a senior.

� e third poster solicited seniors’ signatures to indicate they were against those “who seek the closure of … the activities and presence of the Issaquah Valley Senior Center.”

� e ongoing controversy has led senior center leadership to seek � nancial security for the facility.

According to a letter sent by the mayor to

the senior center, dated July 30, senior center leadership requested guaranteed city grant support for the next � ve years on July 15.

Mayor Butler responded that grant funding could not be given on more than an annual basis, or without city council oversight and awareness of changing � scal environments.

Butler went on to write that he intended to recommend a $99,000 grant for the senior center in 2016, but only under a minimum of seven conditions.

� ose conditions included:• splitting the senior center’s contract

into two six-month terms over 2016; • a third-party audit of the senior center,

the � ndings of which would be acted upon by June 1, 2016;

• senior center compliance with perfor-mance metrics to be determined by the city;

• “well publicized” annual membership meetings;

• the appointment of a city representative to the senior center’s board of directors;

• a contract that defi nes allowable and disallowable uses of city grant funds;

• and compliance with all city leases and other agreements.

Butler additionally asked his letter be posted publicly in the senior center to dispel myths that the city intended to close the senior center.

“If the Issaquah Senior Center deter-mines that it does not want to agree, or comply with these conditions, then I will not recommended [sic] funding the Is-saquah Senior Center in my 2016 proposed budget,” Butler wrote.

Reichert said, “I am looking forward to working with this group of intelligent, driven young men and women. � ey are willing to take time out of their nor-mal routines to discuss the issues facing our nation and that says something very positive about the future. � ese are the people who will be leading our future generations and I know that we will have a produc-tive and informative time together.”

Rep. Reichert � rst formed the Board in 2011 to recognize that constitu-ents of all ages are a� ected by the policy created at the federal level and to get their feedback and perspectives

on the issues of the day and the work of Congress.

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

� e Issaquah City Council voted unani-mously Monday night to make a six-fi gure donation that will bene� t the Downtown Issaquah Association in order to qualify for a tax credit from Washington state.

� e city will contribute $120,000 from its water and sewer utility fund in 2016 in order to take back a $90,000 credit from the state in 2017. � at contribution would continue for the foreseeable future under Monday night’s bill.

“� at is money we would have other-wise paid to the state of Washington,” city fi nance director Diane Marcotte said.

� e city will still technically give that

money to the state, Marcotte said. But because Issaquah will be participating in the Department of Archaeology and His-toric Preservation’s Main Street Tax Credit program, the state will give that money to the Downtown Issaquah Association to reinvest in the community through its programs, she said.

But cities must donate early to get their credit. � e state only doles out $1.5 million in Main Street incentives each year and cit-ies can take up to a $100,000 credit back.

� ere are more 30 Washington cities competing for a share of the tax credit pool, Marcotte said.

Still, councilors expressed their excite-ment at being able to take back some of its state contributions.

“At a time where the state is � nding more and more ways to roll back money that they have historically agreed to provide back to municipalities and to counties, this is an opportunity for us to take back monies that could be dearly used locally and not send

them on to Olympia,” Councilor Tola Marts said.

Mary Lou Pauly said Issaquah’s Front Street core was one of her favorite parts about the city when she moved here 20 years earlier.

“For my husband, the exciting thing was how amazing the school district was,” Pauly said. “But for me, never having lived in a small town before, it was that we had a main street.”

Pauly added that she had attended many of the Downtown Issaquah Association’s meetings and believed they would do “great things” with the in� ux of money.

In its nonpro� t grant request for the city’s 2015 budget session, the Downtown Issaquah Association listed its operating budget at $120,000. It received $31,500 in operating funds from the city of Issaquah.

Fifty years ago, on July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law as an amendment to the Social Security Act. In that year,

almost half of those 65 and older in the United States, did not have health insurance. They lived in fear that getting sick or going to a doctor would send them and their fami-lies into poverty. Celebrating a milestone for an unruly behemoth like Medicare seems rather ironic. Does anyone care about such an anniversary? It doesn’t quite reach the level of the moon landing in 1969. Medicare o� cials want people to remember how it came about so long ago. While Medicare has major problems, it was a � rst. A huge � rst. Millions have bene� tted from

it. The program was part of Johnson’s vision of the “Great Society” — a country with-out poverty; without racial injustice. Such a move in the 1960s — in the midst of the escalating Vietnam War, was extremely controversial. It was not unlike the more

recent fuss about the A� ordable Care Act. There is no doubt that everyone knows someone who has been on Medicare. Nearly one out of every three Ameri-cans depends on Medicare or Medicaid for health care. In our state, there are over 1.7 million Medicaid enrollees in addition to almost 1.2 million covered by Medicare — more than 40 percent of the state’s population. However, it is a huge sprawling, unwieldy government agency. There is waste and fraud. Earlier this year, the U.S. Government Accountability O� ce (GAO) designated Medi-care as a “high-risk program because its complexity and susceptibility to improper payments have led to serious management challenges.” An understatement. Let’s hope for positive changes and continuing care for patients, their families and for taxpayers.

To the editorWinterstein best for Issaquah City Council

My vote will be cast to retain Paul Winterstein for Issaquah City Council. Paul has served the City of Issaquah well as Council President. He is devoted to retaining the small town charm we Issaquah residents love and many of us moved here for. That’s why Sunset Magazine voted us “Best Burb.”

Paul has shown Issaquah residents that he is devoted to transparency. As a student in the Master’s of Public Administration program at Seattle University, I used Paul’s power point presentation done for the public ben-efit and posted on Issaquah’s City website as a demonstration of the level of transparency Issaquah’s bud-get process offers.

No other candidate for his position possesses the experience, dedication, work ethic he does. Paul has earned a long list of endorsements which include several members of the cur-rent City Council, unopposed City Council candidate Jennifer Sutton, State Senator Mark Mullet, former Mayor Ava Frisinger, The Seattle Times, Washington Conservation Voters, Cascade Bicycle Club, and a long list of Civic Leaders here in Issaquah who have helped shape the city we live in.

These endorsements show tre-mendous confidence in our Council President over his challengers. Paul Winterstein is the person who can manage the issues in Issaquah, pro-tect our environment we cherish so much and provide residents with the level of transparency we deserve. As Seattle Times Editorial Board writes, “Winterstein has been part of meet-ing milestones…”

Join Paul’s supporters and me by casting your vote for him on August 4th and again in November. Let’s retain our “Best Burb” status!

Valderrama for Sammamish Council

One of our founding fathers Ben Franklin famously said – “If you’d be wealthy, think of saving, more than of getting: The Indies have not made Spain rich, because her Outgoes equal her Incomes.” This quote applies to our city government as well.

A good percentage of our property tax (about 20 percent) goes to the city of Sammamish. This is not the lowest rate when compared to some of our surrounding cities which offer same or better services to their citizens. Just as stuff finds its way to fill empty space in a house, new expenses will be thought of to spend the incom-ing tax revenue. There will also be some voices asking for increases in tax revenue to support some of these expenses.

Sammamish is going through the usual cycle of when things are going well, the good times are extrapo-lated as continuing indefinitely into the future. Expenses and projects are conceived which increases the cost of government. When the cycle turns as it eventually does, the costs will be borne by the citizens. Recently, we have seen this unfold in Greece as well as many cities in the US.

In this environment, we need a voice that balances needs vs wants. Mr Valderrama is one such voice

in the city council. He is a positive rational voice and doesn’t carry an ideological card. Please reelect him to the city council as a voice for fiscal prudence.

Time left to slow effects of climate change

While Seattle Public Utilities is now calling on residents to begin conserving water, as a region we need to begin preparing for low snowpack on a regular basis. The public needs to be educated about the impact of climate change not just on our imme-diate gardens and water usage but on our entire future, landscape and economy.

We still have a little time to avert the worst effects of climate change if we can enact policies quickly enough to reduce carbon emissions. Initiative 732, if it becomes law, is a step in that direction. It will create market-based incentives to ensure that polluters become more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions statewide. We will need policies like this and much more to ensure a livable future for our children and children’s chil-dren.

It is incumbent on us all to learn more about climate change. Articles that clarify the link between what our region is experiencing and the sci-ence of carbon pollution would help us begin to deal with the challenges facing us.

Sammamish resident Debbie Rosemont has been named one of �ve �nalists for the 2015 Nellie Cashman Woman Business Owner of the Year award presented by �e Women Business Owners, the leading organiza-tion for women entrepreneurs in the Puget Sound.

Rosemont founded the company Simply Placed in her home o�ce in 2003. Her team of professional or-ganizers and productivity consultants has streamlined operations, taught organized systems and productive habits to hundreds of companies from Comcast to Microso� based on owner’s mantra of “Simple solutions that work in a complex world.”

�e WBO Nellie is the most prestigious and longest running honor of its kind in the region. Candidates are judged based on their entrepreneurial spirit, ethics and community spirit, �nancial management skill and the di�culty and risk they have endured to achieve their success. Final interviews will be held in Seattle during the month of August.

�e award is named in honor of Irish-born Nel-lie Cashman, an American pioneer, philanthropist, entrepreneur and gold prospector who came west in the late 1860s with her unique style of courage, compas-sion, determination and spunk that made her one of the most famous women in the American West.

Rosemont was introduced to the award at the orga-nization’s annual gala a few years ago. She remembers how impressed she was with the quality of women con-sidered for the annual honor. �e winner of the 2015 Nellie will named on Oct. 8.

“It’s an honor just to be considered,” said Rosemont. “All of the women nominated for this award in the past have been phenomenal business owners and contribu-tors to their community.”

Associates of Simply Placed marked the 10th year an-niversary of the business by coordinating a Warm Coat Drive to bene�t local shelters. �e company employs �ve organizers in addition to Rosemont and is currently recruiting to add to its team. Rosemont is an active member of numerous service organizations in both Issaquah and on the plateau. Her husband, Rob, teaches history at Skyline High School and founded the Spartan Baseball Club.

�e Sammamish City Council has some summer reading to do, as it unanimously voted to extend the comprehensive plan review to Sept. 1.

�e state mandated deadline was June 30.

Community Development Director Je� �omas said July 31 that the city is in communication with the state and doesn’t expect any negative repercus-sions.

“�ey have encouraged us to get it done as quickly as possible,” �omas said.

At the July 21 meeting, the last meeting before the council’s August break, Councilmember Nancy Whit-

ten motioned to extend the discussion and the public comment to Sept. 1, with Councilmember Ramiro Valder-rama-Aramayo seconding. Council-member Tom Odell was absent from the meeting due to family reasons.

�is extra time allows the council to read through the document again, speci�cally looking for inconsistencies and grammatical errors.

“I would be very disappointed if we have another list of 120 amendments to review on Sept. 1,” Councilmember Don Gerend said at the July 21 meeting. “I look forward to wordsmithing, but not much more than that by Sept. 1.”

Many councilmembers said they did not have enough time to read the most recent copy, produced on July 20, before the plan’s second reading July 21.

“I could really use more time to review it,” Councilmember Bob Keller said July 21. “We’ve put hours of deliberation into the policies, and so … (this time is) to clarify the policy that we’ve discussed, to make sure that the language is consistent. ... It’s also a time to �nd any omissions, any large omissions, we may have missed.”

Gerend said he’d bring the plan with him on his trip abroad during the council’s break.

�e council is expected to send in comments to city sta� no later than Aug. 14. �is gives city employees two weeks to put together a new clean copy by the Sept. 1 meeting.

All cities must update their compre-hensive plans, per Washington state’s Growth Management Act (GMA), every eight years. �e central Puget Sound region, including King County, was to submit updated plans by the end of June. Other parts of the state will submit updates over the following years.

Cities that do not meet the state deadline are listed as a noncompliant jurisdiction, which puts them at the risk of being ranked as a lower prior-ity for state grants.

�e city council has been reviewing the document, and making changes, since March. �e planning commis-sion has been working on it since spring 2013.

�e American Farmland Trust — a nonpro�t group that raises awareness about diminishing American farmlands — is currently in the midst of its seventh annual Farmers Market Celebration, and the Issaquah Farmers Market is in the running for recognition from the group.

Issaquah’s farmers market is put on by the city’s Parks and Recreation department. �e organizers are asking market-goers to recommend the Issaquah Farmers Market on American Farmland

Trust’s website.�e website — which can be found

online at markets.farmland.org — simply asks users if they would recommend the farmers market. Optionally, users can rate the market in four categories, dubbed Focus on Farmers, Healthy Food for All, Pillar of the Community and Champion for the Environment (these categories appear to translate to markets’ focus on American family farms, the availability of healthy food, their community pres-ence and advocacy for the environment, respectively).

�e Farmers Market Celebration runs through Sept. 13. �e Issaquah Farmers Market runs on Saturdays through Sept. 26.

� e Sammamish Arts Commission purchased three new gates for the Sammamish commu-nity garden, located in the Lower Commons area o� of 222nd Place Southeast.

� e Commission paid local artist Garth Edwards $8,000 to design and install the aluminum gates, which were installed July 14 and July 18.

Edwards grew up in Port-land, Oregon. Since 1980, Edwards said art has been his only job, creating works for various organizations, like Pierce County Courts or the King County Health Clinic.

“I never could have been a gallery artist,” Edwards wrote in his biography.

He’s been working with metals for the past 25 years.

“� e Sammamish Art Commission feels that not only the gardeners who rent a plot at this commu-nity garden, but all park users will appreciate these functional art gates, in lieu of just workable gates,” Art Commissioner Margaret Rosenow wrote in a press

release. Rosenow is also the project manager.

� ere will be a ribbon cutting for the gates, which has yet to be scheduled.

Wienke receives prestigious Cadet AwardBY SAMANTHA [email protected]

As boys, Moritz Wienke and his brother used to play soccer at Marymoor

Park in King County near Redmond.

During this time, they discovered the model air�eld where people �ew their radio-controlled model airplanes.

�is sparked an interest in aviation and a few years later — when he turned 12 — Wienke joined the local branch of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), the Over-lake Composite Squadron

(OCS) in Redmond.“I joined right on my

12th birthday since the requirement (to join) is 12 years old,” he said.

Wienke, who was born in the Bay Area in California before his family moved to Sammamish when he was about 7 years old and now lives in Renton, has been with OCS since, working his way up the ranks as a cadet. A�er �ve years, the

17-year-old reached the rank of cadet commander, overseeing all of the cadets in the OCS program. In addition, Wienke also re-ceived the Gen. Ira C. Eaker Award, which less than 2 percent of CAP cadets nationwide have received since it was created in 1995. Wienke received the award about a month ago and is the 2,885th CAP cadet to receive the award. �ere are about 25,000 CAP cadets nationwide, who range from ages 12-21.

Wienke, who has just graduated from Raisbeck Aviation High School in Tukwila, said the Eaker Award is the second-to-last promotion award a cadet can receive. According to the CAP website, Eaker Award recipients must receive all the prerequisite awards leading up to the Eaker Award, write a 300-500 word essay, present a �ve-to seven-minute speech to the unit on one of three pre-determined topics to be evaluated by a senior CAP member. Candidates for the award must also participate in a character-development forum, one of a number of

pre-selected CAP activities and pass a �tness test.

For his pre-selected CAP activity, Wienke attended the CAP Cadet O�cer School last summer. �e school is located at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

“It’s well worth it,” he said about the experience.

During that time, Wienke said he learned a lot about how to lead others strategical-ly, how to delegate and more.

Wienke said he always looked up to the other lieutenant colonels in the cadet program and now he has been in that position for others to look up to him.

Maj. Mike Holliday, pub-lic a�airs o�cer for OCS, remembers when Wienke joined OCS.

“He had super-long hair when he showed up,” Hol-liday said.

He described Wienke in those early days of OCS as real shy. But over the years Holliday said he has seen the teen become “a really outstanding young man” and an enthusiastic and high-achieving cadet, par-ticipating in various CAP activities on a national level such as the cadet o�cer school.

When Wienke took over as cadet commander, Hol-liday said he knew there

would be no need for him to micromanage because the cadets would be in good hands.

“He was so organized,” Holliday said.

Over the years, Hol-liday has enjoyed Wienke’s growing leadership. He said Wienke has created such a positive environment for the cadets as well as the OCS sta�. Holliday said Wienke is good at motivat-ing others to do their best.

And while Wienke said receiving the Eaker Award has been great, it has been his entire experience with CAP and OCS that has stuck out for him.

Over the years, he said he has made some really close friends and has learned skills that will transfer when he attends Arizona State University come fall, where he plans to study business and entrepreneur-ship. He does not plan to join the military or become a pilot — as some young people who join the CAP do — but Wienke said skills he’s developed such as working with di�erent types of people and market-ing himself will still help him in the future.

“�ose will be super bene�cial,” Wienke said.

Take control of your income in retirement

Retire with a monthly payment that is guaranteed and predictable

When it comes to your retirement, it’s best to avoid surprises. And that’s why many retirees choose the guaranteed income offered through annuities. Investing in an annuity can provide a predictable monthly payment to cover your essential expenses, and offers assurance that you can take care of your financial needs throughout your retirement years.

Join Wells Fargo Advisors for a complimentary seminar designed to help you evaluate your retirement income sources, understand annuities, and determine whether investing in an annuity might be the solution for providing guaranteed income throughout your retirement.

Variable annuities are long-term investments suitable for retirement funding and are subject to market fluctuations and investment risk. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Guarantees apply to minimum income from an annuity; they do not guarantee an investment return or the safety of the underlying funds.

county to work with private citizens on trail speci� cs, managing drainage from nearby properties, narrow-ing the trail in a speci� ed area to save additional sig-ni� cant trees and relocating a stop sign.

On nearly every account the county alleges the city’s conditions were “unneces-sarily onerous,” “burden-some” and “unlawful.”

� e county claims these conditions, while not only “unconstitutionally vague and unenforceable,” would result in “substantial harm” leading to “signi� cant delay and additional project costs,” according to the ap-peal document.

� e county maintains these conditions violate city codes, and that some of the conditions are “inconsistent with applicable national

standards for trail design and safety, triggering li-ability risks for the County [sic] and safety concerns for the trail users,” according to document.

Additionally, the county asserts the city’s conditional permit is preempted by federal law, including the National Trails Systems Act, which the East Lake Sam-mamish Trail was estab-lished under.

Further, the county as-serts these “cost prohibitive and unreasonable” condi-tions “thwart” the state’s Growth Management Act in establishing and main-taining “essential public facilities.”

� e requirement to work with Sammamish residents “unlawfully grants author-ity to private citizens to set permit conditions,” appeal documents state. “Rather than bene� ting the public and ensuring protection of the public’s interest, this

condition bene� ts a handful of private citizens.”

“It’s the role of the city to identify those technical areas,” King County Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Brown said.

In the case of the pro-posed stormwater vault, working with private citi-zens to determine the exact location in favor of “private landowners for their land-scaping … represents an unconstitutional taking and a gi� of public property,” according to the county’s appeal.

� e county also claims that some conditions re-quire them to mitigate exist-ing problems that don’t have to do with the trail project. Like, for example, on the condition that the county “‘capture and manage’ the drainage from driveways … [t]he City exceeded its au-thority … [and] unlawfully requires that the applicant

rectify preexisting drainage problems unrelated to this development proposal [sic]” the county’s appeal reads.

� e county also ap-pealed the city’s decision to relocate the stop sign on 206th Avenue Southeast so that vehicular tra� c has the right-of-way and trail users must yield. � e county claims this alteration would “require removal of additional trees and other vegetation to ensure adequate sight distances are maintained.”

� e city’s permit also requires additional tree retention measures “that signi� cantly exceeds the development regulations applicable to this project,” according to the county’s appeal.

� ese conditions came as a surprise to county sta� , Brown said, but he remains optimistic that the county can work through these

issues with the city. Construction on the

southern portion of the trail, which stretches from the 4300 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast to Southeast 33rd Street, was set to begin mid-October.

Brown was unsure how long the appeal process

might delay construction.� e Sammamish trail,

once completed, will be part of a 44-mile-long regional urban trail cor-ridor from Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood to Issaquah.

Eastside Catholic Crusaders 2015 graduate Billy Dimlow was scrolling through his smartphone earlier this summer and came across a pleasant surprise.

While perusing Twitter, Dimlow dis-covered he made the Washington State Baseball Coaches Association Class 3A 2015 all-state baseball team.

Dimlow, who was the ace pitcher of the Crusaders staff that advanced to the Class 3A quarterfinals and finished with a 21-4 overall record, will continue his baseball career at NCAA Division III Emory University in Atlanta.

“When you start playing baseball you never expect to achieve an honor like this. It is crazy and is almost surreal,” Dimlow said. “It was always like one of those far off things that you think would be crazy to get. It is awesome.”

The right-handed pitcher said he will look back on his high school career with the Crusaders with the fondest of

memories. “I will remember all of my teammates

and just the experience of playing at Eastside Catholic. It was better than I ever could have imagined. I have a re-ally close bond with all of those guys. It is terrible that I will never be able to put on that uniform again and play with that exact group of guys again,” Dimlow said. “It is something I will remember for the rest of my life. High school baseball is the best time of any young baseball players lives.”

Dimlow is spending the majority of his summer playing for the Bellevue-based Boys of Summer baseball team in preparation for his freshman season at Emory University. The right-hander said his velocity on the hill is in the mid 80s and has topped out at 86 miles per hour during June.

“Right now I’m playing in a game or practicing every day. I might have a total of seven days off this entire sum-mer,” he said. “I’m trying to get ready for fall baseball and am doing what I can to be the best I can be when I get to Emory. I can’t wait to be part of the program and want to make a difference on the team next year.”

The Eastside Catholic Crusaders boys basketball team will have a new coach on the hardwood during the 2015-16 season.

Brent Merritt, who previously was an assistant coach at Garfield High School in Seattle, was hired as the Crusaders new coach in mid-May. Merritt also has had coaching stints at Lakes High School in Lakewood and Ingraham High School in Seattle. The Crusad-ers captured third place at the Class 3A state basketball tournament at the Ta-coma Dome during the 2014-15 season.

“We are very excited to have Brent Merritt on board with us at Eastside Catholic,” Eastside Catholic Athletic Director Jeremy Thielbahr said. “He brings with him extensive coaching and playing experience that we know will help take our basketball program to the highest level.”

Merritt, who also played for the University of Washington men’s basket-ball team from 1989 through 1991, is excited about leading a program for the

first time in his coaching career. “It was just the right opportunity and

the right time for me. There was some interest the past four or five years from different schools but this was just the perfect time for me. Eastside Catholic is a prestigious school with a great reputa-tion,” Merritt said. “I’m excited about this opportunity. I’m big on fundamen-tals and building positive relationships with my players.”

The new face of the Crusaders bas-ketball program has liked what he’s seen from the Crusaders wide assortment of players during summer hoops practice sessions.

“The guys have been extremely coachable and have definitely re-sponded quickly to what we’re trying to do. I’ve been so impressed with the improvement they’ve shown ... They are putting in 100-percent effort on the court and in the weight room,” Merritt said. “I’m impressed with their attitude and willingness to learn. It has just been tremendous.”
