Transit front and center in State of the CityBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Not much new was said by Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler in his State of the City address Monday. From the Central Issaquah Plan, to the increasing business and operations tax, to Olde Town’s preservation, tourism promotion, transportation issues and the obligatory tributes to community pride, the talking points were nothing that hadn’t been repeated many times in the past year -- some of them frequently in the � rst month of the new year alone.
But Monday’s speech marked the � rst time since the council began discussing transporta-tion concurrency reform that a city o� cial appealed directly to citizens to think about funding for transportation.
Butler’s comments came in the midst of his address, a� er he had listed o� the city’s ac-complishments in reforming its transportation concurrency plan, obtaining $18 million in state grants and cra� ing a mobility master plan that will a� ect the arterials for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians alike.
“Let me be clear: � ese investments will
require broad support from the community to be successful,” Butler said. “It is the shared responsibility of government, businesses and citizens to invest in our future.”
� e mayor did not name speci� c funding mechanisms the city might put before citizens, but he, council, sta� and consultants discussed several during talks on transportation concur-rency.
� e Growth Management Act require-ment doesn’t call for cities to estimate future transportation costs -- just to have a plan for mitigating future tra� c from development -- but the city found itself in

High school freshman Heather Johnson received a ground-level education in Washington state government last month thanks to help from Rep. Chad Magendanz of Issaquah.
� e young soccer player and opera singer arrived in Olympia as a fresh-faced
recruit to the legislative page program as the 2015 state leg-islative session began Jan. 12.
Johnson was excused from school for one week to serve in the Legislature and learn about state government.
Most of the time, she helped ensure day-to-day business ran smoothly by delivering paperwork and o� ce supplies to the o� ces of lawmakers. Pages additionally
attended two hours of civics school each day, learning the ins and outs of the legislative process from former govern-ment professionals. By the end of the week, Johnson in-troduced a mock bill creating a sales tax on plastic bags and a credit for returning them to the store.
It passed, Johnson said, with just a touch of pride in her voice.
“I didn’t realize how hard it was to pass a bill or get it through committee,” she said.
Johnson displayed an early interest in politics. She fol-lowed her brother’s footsteps into student government at the Eton School, winning the school vice presidency in seventh grade and the presi-dency in eighth grade.
She learned about the page program while attending a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert attended by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. � e idea struck her fancy and she applied for a sponsorship through Magen-danz, who represents the 5th Legislative District.
“Heather did a great job and I thank her for her ser-vice,” Magendanz said.
Johnson took a breather from student government when she began her freshman year at Interlake High School in Bellevue, but she said she’s now interested in running for a position for her sophomore year.
And Johnson plans to pursue more page programs in the future.
“� ey have a (program) in college where you get to be there for a full term,” she said.

City renegotiates contract with administrators’ unionBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Beginning this year, Issaquah city administrators will see lower pay for entry level colleagues and a reduction in the sick leave they can keep. In exchange, they’ll see a little more money in their health plan co� ers and their union will be able to give input on business related to the city’s health plan.
� e city of Issaquah recently re-negotiated its 2015-2016 contract
with the Issaquah Administrative Sta� Association.
� e city council on Feb. 2 ap-proved a contract with the ASA following a private executive session. According to a publicly released dra� version of the con-tract, the agreement covers regu-lar full-time employees of the city, employees who work multiple positions that add up to 40 hours a week and regularly scheduled part-time employees who work more than 20 hours a week.
Under the new agreement, entry level employee pay will be scaled down 5 percent below the current pay schedule.
Employees will also be able to hold on to less of their sick time, the maximum holding amount dropping from 1,280 hours to 960. � e lesser amount adds up to 120 sick days, which would take 10 to 15 years to earn under employees’ sick leave schedule.
However, the city’s contribution to employees’ Health Reimburse-
ment Account will rise $50 per year in the contract, to $1,100 in 2015 and $1,150 in 2016.
� e union also will be able to participate in the Health Care Advisory Committee, an em-ployee group that weighs in on health insurance bene� ts and the self-funded medical plan.
� e ASA president and three administrators negotiated the new contract with elected o� cials.
“� e city would like to thank the negotiating team for their
good work and the union for their good work on a daily basis,” Hu-man Resources Manager Debbie Mills said.
� e contract was the � rst labor agreement of the year for the city. Negotiations are expected to be complete soon on the city’s new contract with the Issaquah Police Support Services Associa-tion.

Bott on new job: Transit is key to a strong economy BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Matt Bott’s last day with the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce was a quiet one.
Jan. 30 was sunny. Even at the peak of rush hour, the roads were clear of commut-ers who had seemingly taken o� the Friday before Super Bowl XLIX as a holiday. Many had shown up at the city of Issaquah’s pre-game rally that a� ernoon. Bott had instead gone to his son’s third-grade science fair, where he displayed an experiment testing the strength of water’s surface tension.
Bott said he felt a little bit wistful about leaving his position as CEO of the Chamber a� er six years with the business networking group.
“� is has been an incredible organization and an incredible com-munity,” he said. “I’m glad I had the chance to contribute to its mission.”
A� er a week o� , on Monday Bott began his latest job managing Sound Transit’s gov-
ernment and community a� airs for the Eastside. In that position, he’ll be doing outreach to Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton and Bothell, working with the communities as the light rail East Link extension moves toward its target of opening in 2023.
Bott came to the Chamber one year a� er the 2008 � nancial collapse and during the
onset of the Great Recession. He had a unique background: � ough he had just completed his MBA, he had studied politi-cal science prior and thus came to the posi-tion with a mind to involve the business community in government a� airs. Mem-bership rose 20 percent during his tenure and the Chamber did indeed become an amicable political force in Issaquah, most recently working with the city on � nding a compromise in increased business and occupations taxes.
Bott also made sure the Chamber was ful� lling its job as a “convener,” he said, connecting local businesses with one another and o� ering continuing education
programs.His chief goal was to help keep Issaquah’s
economy strong and grow it stronger, maintaining the Eastside as “one of the best places to live and work in America,” he said.
“One of my favorite books is ‘� e Com-ing Jobs War’ [by Jim Cli� on],” Bott said. “� at book paints a picture of economic growth by keeping jobs in town.
“What we tried to do here was to make sure that voice is connected to civic a� airs.”
But he had reached a point where he was ready to move onto a di� erent kind of posi-

Another test-score battle begins
The sudden rash of measles cases in our state and around the country point to a problem that shouldn’t exist: too many parents are opting out
of vaccinating their kids against this highly contagious respiratory disease. It’s an invitation to sickness — mild for most — but for a small fraction of the population, compli-cations like pneumonia and encephalitis can occur.
Given the safety and bene� ts of a measles vaccine, there is little reason for parents to not take this preventive mea-sure for their children.
Measles vaccinations are required for kids, K-12, to attend state schools, but parents can — and do — opt out of getting their children vaccinated for several reasons: religious beliefs, medical issues, or a “personal” reason. � e � rst two are understandable. � e latter is not.
Nationwide, about 95 percent of children have had a measles vaccination before they enter kindergarten. To their credit, almost all Issaquah and Sammamish public schools are at or below that number, according to state health data for the 2011-2012 school year.
Clark Elementary in Issaquah at 9 percent opting out and Issaquah Valley Elementary School at 7 percent. In Sammamish, state data puts the Renaissance School at 7.7 percent unvaccinated. At all three schools, the vast major-ity of parents opting out do so for personal, not medical or religious, purposes.
Some parents think the vaccine can cause autism, per-haps based on a 1998 study in a British medical journal. Not true. � e paper was later retracted and thoroughly discredited. Other studies have found no link.
House Bill 2009, introduced by Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, would remove the personal or philosophical belief exemption. � e Washington State Medical Association, for good reason, supports the bill.
� e Legislature should take swi� action on this and make our kids‚ and everyone‚ healthier and safer.
Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Lawmakers, teachers and the state public schools chief are gearing up for another battle
over whether student test scores should be used to evaluate teachers and principals.
State Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, introduced two bills last
week that would require that results from state student assessments be calculated into teacher perfor-mance reviews, starting with the 2016-2017 school year.
Federal educa-tion leaders are
demanding that Washington chisel the requirement into law if the state wants to regain a waiver from the No Child Le� Behind law.
� e state lost the waiver last year, meaning the state and 297 public school districts couldn’t spend about $40 million in federal money the way they wanted. It also meant that 1,916 schools across the state were deemed failing by the U.S. Department of
Education, and letters had to be sent to parents explaining why.
� rough much of the 2014 legisla-tive session, Litzow, Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn and Gov. Jay Inslee tried to get law-makers onboard.
But they collided with the state-wide teachers union, the Washington Education Association. Its leaders staunchly oppose the federal dictate and insist that the evaluation process created by state lawmakers is work-ing as intended, weeding out less-talented teachers.
� e union � exed political muscle to keep most Democratic allies from bending.
And in a deliciously dramatic mo-ment in the state Senate last session, a bill originally cra� ed by a Demo-cratic senator to appease the feds was brought up for a vote by Litzow.
It was defeated 28-19, with 20 Democrats — including the original author, Sen. Rosemary McAuli� e of Bothell — and eight Republicans vot-ing against the measure.
� at didn’t end the scu� e.In the ensuing days, Inslee met
with U.S. Secretary of Education
Arne Duncan to verify what the state needed to do to avoid becoming the � rst to lose its waiver.
� en he and Dorn dra� ed a new bill and tried to persuade lawmakers to vote on it, which they wouldn’t.
“I take my hat o� to the WEA,” Dorn said in August of the teachers union. “� ey did a better job than we did. Maybe this time we can get past the rhetoric and propaganda and do what’s right for kids.”
Litzow isn’t predicting how the legislative rematch will turn out. He thought he had enough Democrats in tow last year. He won’t make the same mistake this time.
“We’re going out and having con-versations right now,” he said.
Inslee expended political capital last year trying to get lawmakers to implement a test-scores provision for evaluating teachers, and he has nothing to show for it. It’s not clear how hard he’ll push this go ‘round. Litzow said he’s not spoken with the governor on the subject.
Superintendents of school districts mostly avoided the fray in 2014, but

might be engaged this year.At legislative hearings last
fall and earlier this session, superintendents expressed frustration at receiving federal money they couldn’t spend due to restrictions related to the loss of the No Child Le� Behind waiver. A requirement to ensure student access to private tu-tors exposed some families to unscrupulous hard-sell tactics, the superintendents said.
Oh, and sending letters to parents telling them their child attends a failing school hurt morale, they said.
�e WEA, meanwhile, is still opposed to using stu-dent test scores in evaluat-ing teachers.
“It makes no sense to
dramatically change our successful teacher evalua-tion system when Congress appears ready to rewrite the federal law,” said WEA spokesman Rich Wood. “To really help our state’s students, the Legisla-ture should focus on its paramount duty to fully fund K-12 education this
session.”Let the battle begin.Jerry Corn�eld is a

tion: something in government a�airs that would have a regional impact, particularly aiding regional economic development.
He knew Sound Transit would have a key role to play in the area’s economic well-being, considering the population of the Puget Sound is expected to increase by 30 percent in the next 20 years.
“Transit and transportation is one of the key components of a strong economy,” he said.
Despite moving on from the Chamber, Bott has no plans to leave Issaquah anytime soon, he said.
Bott originally hails from Boise, Idaho, but he and his family came to Washington state from Washington, DC. �ey origi-nally settled in Seattle but Bott and his wife knew they wanted to �nd someplace di�erent to raise their kids. When they found Issaquah, they knew they had found home, he said.
“We hope to never leave here,” he said.

a unique position due to its work on the 2012 Central Is-saquah Plan. From that plan, city development services sta� were able to estimate a $119 million shortfall in accounted funds to pay for tra�c improvements.
Consultant Randy Young suggested new sales taxes, road levies, property tax-funded bonds and local car tab fees -- many of which would require voter approval -- as sources of revenue to cover the gap.
“We have rede�ned the way Issaquah will grow in the decades ahead,” Butler said in reference to the Central
Issaquah Plan. “Up, not out; compact, not sprawling; and more reliant on our feet, not on our cars.”
He also used his address to highlight the impending ad-dition of a social sustainabil-ity coordinator to sta�, tasked with spearheading the city’s human services strategy.
“Our community, like cities throughout the Puget Sound region and the na-tion, is not immune to the challenges of homelessness, substance abuse and mental illness,” Butler said. “Despite these challenges, Issaquah is a safe community that respects the dignity, rights and safety of everyone.”

The Sound Transit Board has approved a new reduced fare for low-income riders on Sound Transit’s Link light rail services in Seattle. The new low-income fare category aligns with a new low-income fare on King County Metro bus routes.
The new fares will be implemented in March. All other light rail fares will increase by 25 cents to offset the low-income fare. Sound Transit will provide the fare discount to riders who pay with special
low-income ORCA cards issued by King County Metro or Kitsap Transit.
The reduced fare will be available to adult rid-ers with incomes at or below 200 percent of the
federal poverty level — about $23,000 in annual income for an individual. To qualify, a household of four would have an annual household income at or below $47,700.
More information on how to qualify for the new program is avail-able at http://metro.kingcounty.gov/fares/fare-change-effective-03-01-15.html

A� er a month’s delay, Value Village will open its Issaquah location in the old Albertsons building accord-ing to an announcement made Tuesday. Donations made in the location’s open-ing days, through Feb. 21, will bene� t the Issaquah Schools Foundation’s Basic Student Needs Program.
� e thri� store will open in part of the nearly 50,000-square-foot retail space that has sat empty of permanent tenants for near-ly six years as a stubborn reminder of the lasting ef-fects of the Great Recession. Property manager Merlone Geier Partners could only lease the space seasonally to the Spirit Halloween Store, during the fall.
� e building was remod-eled last year to hold two tenants a� er Value Village
signed on as a lessee for a portion of the space.
Value Village is the name given to Paci� c Northwest locations of the thri� shops owned by Savers, Inc. Located in Bellevue, Savers is a for-pro� t dealer of used goods. However, Savers stores partner with local nonpro� ts to whom they send donations. Bene� cia-ries receive donations as used items are given to the store, regardless of whether said items ultimately sell.
Value Village’s Issaquah location will partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
“We’ve partnered with Value Village since 1995 and we’re thrilled to further expand our relationship with the new Issaquah opening,” said Amy Mack, the president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound. “� e funding we receive from Value Vil-lage is a consistent source of
revenue and critical to our ability to serve more than 1,000 children annually.”
� e store’s donation center will be operational Feb. 17, two days before the opening. Donations made at Value Village will bene� t Issaquah Schools Founda-tion’s Basic Student Needs Program. � e program provides clothing, dental
care, breakfast, school sup-plies and other bene� ts to students who need them.
A grand opening cer-emony has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 19. � e store is located at 5530 East Lake Sammamish S.E.

Agave to add patio diningFederico and Faviola Ramos, the owners and operators
of Agave Cocina & Tequilas Restaurants, are expanding their Issaquah Highlands location by 25 percent.
� e restaurant will add a retractable seasonal patio adjacent to the restau-rant’s front door.
“We are very thankful to our loyal, wonderful customers to be able to make this sizable investment at our original location, Federico said. “Not only are we adding seats to a relatively small interior restaurant space, but we are hopefully also solving a problem we have had since day one: keeping the elements out.”
He explained that the seats near the host area are sometimes plagued on cold, windy, wet Northwest days.
“Our guests comfort is really our ultimate motiva-tor.”
Construction began just before Christmas and the restaurant remains open during the remodel.
Work should be completed by April. A� er that time, there will be a celebration marking
the opening of the new indoor/outdoor space.Agave Cocina & Tequilas Restaurants have been
family owned and operated since 2009. � e Issaquah restaurant is located at 1048 N.E. Park

Sammamish residents have until the end of the month to contribute feedback regarding their service providers.
� is is the second study in which the city is gathering public opinion to assess existing trash and cable providers.
Residents can access the anonymous survey on the city’s webpage. � e mostly multiple choice questionnaire is designed to guide the city in its assess-ment of service providers as contracts with these providers expire.
� e city contracts with two garbage pickup providers, Waste Management Inc., and Republic Services Inc. Comcast Corp. is the primary cable TV provider for the city.
Waste Management serves the residents north of Northeast Eighth Street and Inglewood Hill Road. Republic Services pick up waste in the southern portion of the city, south of Northeast Eighth Street and Inglewood Hill Road.
Both trash pick-up service contracts expire at the end of
2016. Comcast’s contract ex-pired in 2004.
Typically, service contracts with the city are long-term, last-ing several years.
Elway Research Inc., a profes-sional public opinion research � rm, recently conducted a simi-lar study. � is survey questioned residents chosen at random.
� e city expects to have the results to this study in March.
� e direct link for the city’s current survey is www.sammamish.us/News.aspz?ID=1541.
City seeks public input on service providers
Rep. Roger Goodman has been reelected by his colleagues to continue chairmanship of the House Public Safety Com-mittee.
“In a heartbeat, a violent crime or a natural disaster can take away everything — your home, your family, your life,” said Goodman (D-45th). “Our state laws must do whatever is possible to prevent crime and respond to � oods, wild� res and landslides, because lives are literally at stake.”
Rep. Goodman, who repre-sents Sammamish, began chair-ing the Public Safety Com-mittee back in 2012 and since
then has lead the committee in passing bipartisan legislation to crack down on impaired driv-ing, regulate drones, reform ju-venile sentencing, and combat sex tra� cking.
“We’ve learned that some things that sound great on TV or in the newspaper actually cost a lot of money and don’t prevent crime at all,” Good-man said. “And we’ve found that things that don’t get the big headlines actually work well to stop crime and save taxpayer dollars. So it’s important to keep trying di� erent options and testing them rigorously, because in the end, we should
do what works, not just what sounds good.”
Washington’s criminal justice laws and programs are o� en picked for review by the state’s Institute for Public Policy, which looks at whether new laws and pro-grams actually reduce crime and whether reforms are cost e� ective.
“Criminals should be pun-ished, but if that’s all you focus on, you’re missing the point,” Goodman said. “� e best way to tackle crime is to prevent it from happening at all. Police o� cers and prosecutors like solving a case — but they like
it better when they can prevent a bad situation, actually stop crime before it happens, so there’s no crime victim who got hurt or killed.”
In addition to chairing the Public Safety Committee Rep. Goodman will also serve on the Judiciary and Environment Committees.
� e Legislature is scheduled to convene on January 12 for a 105-day session.
Rep. Goodman reelected to committee

� e State Patrol is announcing the launch of an online program designed to streamline the process for scheduling a Vehicle Identi� cation Number inspection.
� e new system will help drivers deter-mine if their vehicle needs an inspection.
A VIN is the unique number assigned to every vehicle by the manufacturer. While the state issues license plates, VINs are the one true identi� er of every vehicle.
� e State Patrol is required to do VIN in-spections on vehicles that have been rebuilt a� er being destroyed or declared a total loss by an insurance company. � ey also perform physical inspections as required on vehicles reported stolen, homemade vehicles, or other vehicles without a proper VIN.
Previously, those needing to schedule an inspection needed to call by phone, leave a message and then wait for a return call to schedule the appointment. Last year alone, inspectors handled over 47,000 phone calls. In the process, they discovered that many customers didn’t need an inspection at all.
Now, customers need only go to wsp.wa.gov and select VIN Inspection Schedule under “Hot Topics” on the right side of the page. With the new program, the WSP expects phone calls to drop dramatically and wait time for inspections to decrease signi� cantly over time. For ore information or to make comments or give feedback, go to [email protected].

In 2012, Emmy Award-winning jour-nalist Penny LeGate lost her daughter Marah to a heroin overdose. On Wednes-day, March 4, LeGate will share what she’s learned as the parent of a child who struggled with substance abuse as the keynote speaker at Youth Eastside Ser-vices’ annual Invest in Youth Breakfast.
� e event takes place from 7:30–8:45 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
“If somebody had told me I would have a daughter who was addicted to heroin and would die of heroin, I would say ‘No, no, no. � at’s not my story, that’s not my life.’ But that, in fact, is my life and I’m here to say it can happen to anybody,” said LeGate in a 2014 MyNorthwest.com article.
As an anchor, reporter and documen-tary producer, LeGate was a � xture in Seattle TV and radio for decades. Now a freelancer, LeGate covers stories across the globe, from Ethiopia and Rwanda to Nepal and Vietnam. Her stories frequent-ly chronicle the struggles of developing nations, such as Africa’s AIDS orphans, Ebola, access to water, maternal health care and empowerment of women and girls.
Proceeds from the event bene� t YES’ Lifeline Fund, which helps kids and teens get the help they need — including substance abuse treatment services — regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Donations to the Lifeline Fund also sup-port prevention and education programs for the greater Eastside community.
Meeghan Black, also an Emmy Award-winning journalist, will emcee the event. Black, formerly with KING TV, has reported on everything from presidential visits to natural disasters.

� e Bellevue Arts Museum broke all of its attendance records last year as more than 81,000 visitors toured its exhibits, 32 percent more than in 2013.
Executive director Linda Pawson said she was thrilled, but not necessarily surprised as the museum celebrates its 10th anniversary of its new mission and the halfway point of its � ve-year plan.
“It’s a testament to a lot of hard work from our sta� . We really focused on what the community wants,” she said. “Bellevue has changed a lot and we have a plan in place to address what we’ve heard from people.”
Even a two-week closure of Bellevue Way due to construction for the Lincoln Square expansion didn’t deter people from coming, Pawson said, adding GOI Contractors, the group selected for the build, have been great neighbors throughout the process.
Pawson said she’s con� dent the museum will break the record again this year, adding “it’s only a matter of time before we exceed 100,000 visitors.”
In the past year the museum also strength-ened its partnership with the hugely popular winter celebration Snow� ake Lane, which performed nightly outside its front door, of-fering cra� ing supplies for children to make Snow� ake Lane Princesses.
� e uno� cial “year of pulp” at BAM kicked o� with a wildly successful show from stylist and designer Isabelle de Borchgrave, featuring
her elaborate paper dress collection.“We heard from lots of people who came
a dozen times or more to see the collection,” Pawson said.
� e huge in� ux of people meant a lot more memberships for the museum and many more return visitors.
Borchgrave’s paper dress exhibit was fol-lowed by another pulp exhibit “Folding Paper,” which examined the world of origami and its connection to the Paci� c Northwest.
� at exhibit, in particular, proved to be a multi-generational teaching tool among hundreds of families near and far who came to visit, Pawson said.
Shortly a� er that exhibit the museum held its annual Kid’s Day which drew roughly 14,000 visitors during the three-day event.
� is year, Pawson said the museum will feature an even greater variety of exhibits kicking o� with its third biennial symposium “Knock on Wood” from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday Jan. 31.
Two new exhibits also will be unveiled in February and March, including Kiln-Glass collections from emerging artists and “Read My Pins: � e Madeleine Albright Collection” from the former Secretary of State.
“We want to be a community space where people can engage, � nd a piece of serenity, of peace, completely refreshing.” Pawson said. “We want it to be an environment that’s peace-ful and stimulating at the same time.”

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world
of sports and recreationSkyline team captain McKerlich unstoppable in regular season � naleBY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Skyline Spartans junior forward Taylor McKerlich turned in her most dominant performance of the 2014-15 season against the Issaquah Eagles girls basketball team.
McKerlich scored a game-high 24 points and freshman Jade Loville added 17 points in the Spartans' 66-39 victory on senior night in the regular season � nale against the Eagles on Feb. 5 at Skyline High School in Sam-mamish.
Skyline improved its overall re-cord to 12-5 with the win. Issaquah dropped to 8-10 with the loss.
Spartans head coach Joe Fithian said his team is not only on a � ve-game winning streak, but also is peaking at the right time.
"Nobody has been playing better basketball than us the past three or four weeks," Fithian said. "We are just gelling. � at was really the story of the game tonight. I'm really pleased with how we've played."
� e Spartans had a 14-point lead at hal� ime and outscored the Eagles 14-7 in the third quarter to put the game
away courtesy of a 21-point lead head-ing into the � nal eight minutes of play. Fithian said the spectacle of senior night while simultaneously facing a cross-town rival had no e� ect on his mentally tough squad.
"We have taken on the personal-ity that it is all just business. I can tell just by looking at our team before the game if it's going to be a good night or a bad night. Tonight we were all busi-ness," he said.
With the playo� s looming on the schedule Fithian said the focus isn't on
the possible opponents, but instead is on themselves and their own style of play.
"Our goal is to continue to win. Only one team goes home without a loss. We're just going to keep playing our style of basketball," Fithian said. "One of the things I keep preaching to the players is that we are a damn good basketball team when we play Skyline basketball."

"It was a big factor. � ey were our only league defeat this year. We wanted to come out here and play with a chip on our shoulder and play how we are capable of play-ing. � e outcome supported that," Gibson said.
Issaquah head coach Jason Gri� th wasn't surprised his team came into the contest with their game face on in full force.
"I think the biggest thing that our kids understood was that we weren't ready to go the � rst time we played them,” Gri� th said. “You got to give Skyline credit, they played phenomenal the � rst time we faced them. � ey earned that 'W.' For us that game gave us a lot of mo-tivation. We knew we had chance against them three weeks later and were looking forward to taking care of
business. We learned our lesson this season if we don't bring it every night then we can get beat."
� e Eagles stingy defense held the Spartans to a mere 12 � eld goals and controlled the game from the onset.
"We pride ourselves on holding the top scorers on the other team to below their average and this night was no di� erent," Gibson said. "It
was a team e� ort. We boxed out well too and that leads to o� ense. It was a well-round-ed game for us tonight."
Gri� th said hard-nosed defense is a staple of his squad.
"We're not a big team and we're not going to block any shots at the rim, but we � y around, get in the passing lanes and force teams to make tough decisions," he said.
� e Eagles captured third place at the Class 4A state tournament last season and are pursuing their goals with vigor and intensity.
"We will be the top seed going into the KingCo tour-nament. Hopefully we can get that championship and get a berth at state (tourna-ment)," Gibson said. "We have got big goals and hope-fully we can come through."

Eastside Catholic School students Annette Bautista-Fe-liberti, Jillian Broughton, Sarah Ford, Andres O’Beirne, Abigail Kirsten, Kayla Powlesland and Jacqueline Frey were recently honored at the Regional Scho-lastic Art & Writing Awards.
� e Scholastic Art & Writing Awards recognize the vision, ingenuity and talent of stu-dents in grades seven through 12 in public, private or home schools. Students can apply in a variety of categories of art and writing.
“� ese seven students are very thoughtful and re� ective and their recognition at the Regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards program is no surprise,” said Principal Polly Skinner. “I am thrilled each of them chose to share their creativity and want to celebrate their awards. We love having our students’ talents on full display.”
EC students received 21 total awards for their work:
■ Annette Bautista-Feliberti: Honorable mention
■ Jillian Broughton: Gold key, two silver keys, four hon-orable mentions
■ Sarah Ford: Silver key, two honorable mentions
■ Jacqueline Frey: Honor-able mention
■ Abigail Kirsten: Gold key award, four silver key, two honorable mentions
■ Andres O’Beirne: Honor-able mention
■ Kayla Powlesland: Honor-able mention
By receiving a gold key award both Broughton’s and Kirsten’s pieces will move on to the National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in New York. � e national winners will be announced in March.
“Last year I received a silver key and now receiving seven awards this year, that was special,” Broughton said. “It really shows how my work
has improved over the past year and it’s exciting to have the chance to go on to nation-als and maybe have my work displayed there.”
� e regional awards were hosted at Cornish College of the Arts. � is year more than 500 students entered more than 1,000 entries. � e winning pieces were displayed in the lobby of the Cornish Playhouse in a special exhibition during the month of January.
