Many students named their fry before letting them into Laughing Jacobs Creek April 24BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Whispered farewells, best wishes and giggles sent silvery fry on their way down Laughing Jacobs Creek near Lake Sam-mamish Park April 24.

About 50 middle and elementary students, as well as community members and partners working to save the Lake Sammamish kokan-ee salmon, participated in the sixth annual Kokanee Release, easing dozens of inch-long fry back into their natural habitat.

� e release is part of an Issaquah Salmon Hatchery program that aims to increase and stabilize a healthy population of the rare, freshwater � sh.

“� e hatchery program bought us time — time to restore the habitat; time to make these natural systems work on their own,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said at the event. “� e last fry are scheduled to be released in 2021.”

� e hatchery program, implemented by the Washington Department of Fish & Wild-life and King County, is primarily funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Nearly 30 fourth and � � h graders from Campbell Hill Elementary School, 20

Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary students and four students from Pine Lake Middle School helped release kokanee. Many students named their new friend before freeing it in the creek.

Students also participated in several other hands-on educational activities, covering top-ics like water quality and preservation.

Suzannah Cox, the education director at Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, was on site watching Blackwell and Pine Lake students participate in the kokanee life cycle obstacle course, one of the activities led by FISH.

She said it’s all about educating the youth. “We hope their experience with animals

will stick with them their whole life,” she said. Within the course, some students imper-

sonated the young kokanee, jumping rope to move from the “creek” to “Lake Sammamish,” a more open space blocked o� by cones. In the lake, other students with hand puppets

represented the kokanee predators, which the � sh dodge for several years before making their way back up the creek to spawn the next generation before dying.

“Such is life,” Pine Lake eighth grader Polina Kritchko said.

Kritchko, who spoke at the event, is pas-sionate about the native salmon and their environment.

“It’s important to protect the kokanee pop-ulation to maintain biological diversity within our native wildlife and keep our ecosystems functioning,” she said.

She even called for a more comprehen-sive school curriculum that expands on and teaches children about the native species they live near.

Kokanee only spawn in a few streams that feed into Lake Sammamish. Unlike its rela-tive, the sockeye salmon, kokanee do not go out to the ocean.

� e � sh don’t turn that famous red tint un-til they’re nearing the end of their life, usually close to the fall spawning season.

Since 2009, the hatchery has been collect-ing kokanee o� spring in the fall as a way to strengthen them for the journey to the lake. � is increases their chances of survival.

“� e kokanee salmon life cycle is really hard,” Pine Lake sixth grader Aydn Cole said a� er participating in the kokanee life cycle obstacle course. Cole, one of the � rst to release a three-month-old fry into the creek, named his � sh “Smitty.” He later learned about Smitty’s plight in the obstacle course.

Since 2010, the hatchery has released 330,000 kokanee fry back into the wildlife. � is year, they’re releasing 46,000.

“It was a pretty good release year,” Issaquah Hatchery Supervisor Darin Combs said.

� ese � sh won’t return to this creek for three or four years.

Raise for lawmakers leaves teachers coldState lawmakers are up for a raise in the next two years.

It looks like it will be a lot larger than what they’re considering giving thousands of state workers and public

school teachers.On May 13, the Washington Citizens’ Commission on

Salaries for Elected O� cials is set to vote to give lawmakers an 11 percent raise. � at would be more than double the percent-

age increase that those same legislators are considering for state workers and teachers.

Teachers know this and are incensed about it.

Some have written the commission urg-ing it to be less generous.

And they made their feelings clear when Gov. Jay Inslee spoke at Saturday’s rally of 5,000 educators and supporters on the steps of the state Capitol.

Inslee acknowledged that it has been six years since the state provided a cost-of-living adjustment for teachers. When he pledged to � ght to secure a “real COLA” of 4.8 percent in the next budget, he was brie� y drowned out by a chant of “12 percent, 12 percent” – a slightly o� reference to the pending double-digit pay hike for lawmakers. (Inslee, by the way, stands to get a 4 percent raise)

To be fair lawmakers aren’t involved in the process of setting their own pay. � at’s the role of the commission, an indepen-dent panel expected to operate free of political encumbrances.

Its members aren’t supposed to be swayed by the salary woes faced by teachers. Nor are they to be a� ected by knowing the 147 men and women in the Legislature have been held in con-tempt by the state Supreme Court for violating constitutional dictates for school funding.

Commissioners derived their recommendations from a con-sultant’s analysis using something called the Willis System that tries to put a value to various duties associated with a particu-lar job. In this instance the consultant calibrated lawmakers’ responsibilities and earnings against those of nonunion state administrators and their wages and concluded lawmakers are underpaid.

Ramos for Issaquah City Council

Bill Ramos is running for city council. � is is a good thing. His election will be of great bene� t to the city. I have known Bill Ramos for over twenty years and know him to be an honorable person and a hard worker.

He has chaired the Human Ser-vices Commission and served on the Economic Vitality and Planning and Policy Commissions. Further Ramos has supported the Leukemia Society for twenty years by raising money each year via the run up the Co-lumbia Tower. Bill is also an expert in transportation and runs his own � rm specializing in that area.

Ramos lives within blocks of the heart of our city and therefore endures our tra� c problems on a daily basis. With the city's focus now turning to tra� c movement we need someone on the council with his skill set.

I am pleased Bill Ramos has de-

cided to run, will vote for him, and encourage everyone else to vote for him as well.

Late start for teensIssaquah has joined the national

Start School Later movement! As you may already know, health care professionals, sleep scientists, educa-tors, economists, legislators, parents and students are united in their concern that early school start times for teenagers are a major factor contributing to the widespread sleep deprivation facing teens, and that this constitutes a signi� cant public health concern. Chronic sleep loss undermines the health, safety, and academic achievement. � e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Medical Associa-tion and the American Academy of Pediatrics have all recognized that chronic sleep loss in adolescents and its consequences are one of the most important public health issues facing our nation’s youth.

In response to scienti� c evidence, at least 70 public school districts around the country have success-

fully implemented a delay in high school start times. Bellevue, Mercer Island, Seattle and Northshore School Districts have all committed to looking at ways to push the start times of their secondary schools to 8:00 or later. Unfortunately, Issaquah School District has been reluctant to do the same, citing the fact that they considered it a decade ago and con-cluded at that time that no changes should be made to the schedule.

A petition will be delivered to the Issaquah School Board on Wednesday, May 13, requesting that Issaquah School District adjust start times so that no one is standing at bus stops at 6:30 a.m. We welcome your presence at this school board meeting. Please consider publishing a link to this petition, so that others in the Issaquah community, espe-cially those who do not have school-aged children and may not be aware of this important public health issue, will gain insight and understand-ing, and will hopefully support this healthy change.

Local ‘Start School Later’ chapter petitions for Issaquah School DistrictBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Two parents are petitioning the Issaquah School District to explore what would be required to begin middle and high school academic days at 8:30 a.m. or later in the morning, in order to accommodate teens’ changing sleep needs.

�e online MoveOn.org petition was posted April 1 and collected more than 1,500 signatures as of the last week of April — as well as supportive comments, like “Witnessing this need �rsthand. Please approve!!,” and “As someone attending Is-saquah High next year, I need this.”

Dea Barnett, a child psychiatrist and mother to two teen boys in the district, started the petition with Allison May.

It’s all based in the science of sleep and how children’s circadian rhythms change once they reach adolescence, Barnett said. While preadolescent children tend to do �ne under the dictum “early to bed, early to rise,” the onset of puberty pushes their internal clock roughly two hours ahead, delaying the desire to sleep to as late as midnight. Combine a later natural bedtime with an early school start time — Issaquah High School, for example, begins �rst period at 7:25 a.m. every weekday except Wednesday — and you have a recipe for chronically tired teens.

�rough her training, Barnett said she’s known about the adverse e�ects of sleep deprivation for years, including reduced ability to concentrate, greater susceptibility to health problems such as obesity and — perhaps most familiar to parents — emo-tional irritability.

“You can tell they get burned out,” Barnett said of her own sons. “When the weekend comes they want to sleep in to one in the a�ernoon to catch up. But the problem with that kind of sleep pattern is it fosters insomnia.”

Since last year, Barnett has periodi-cally attended school board meetings to champion the cause of her chapter of Start School Later, a national nonpro�t that, as the name suggests, lobbies for later school

start times.In August, PEDIATRICS, a journal

published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, published a policy statement supporting a school start time later than 8:30 a.m. �e statement claimed links between sleep deprivation and obesity, depression, academic performance, low quality of life and a higher risk for drowsy driving crashes.

However, implementing later school start times is complicated. Shi�ing the school day a�ects day-to-day operations such as employee scheduling and bussing.

�e superintendents of neighboring Mercer Island School District and Bel-levue School District launched a steering committee in December to explore the factors involved in starting school later. At a recent meeting of that committee, Mercer Island administrator Todd Kelsay noted that a�er school activities could present a conundrum: A later school day means later meetings for a�er school groups, poten-tially negating the possibility of students getting more sleep.

Barnett said she hopes districts from out of state that have already or have sched-uled initiatives to start school later will provide a guidepost for districts at home. She is paying particular attention to Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, which voted to begin 8 a.m. start times begin-ning next school year. �at district enrolls more than 186,000 students and has a large transportation network.

“If they can do it, we can,” she said. �e Issaquah chapter of Start School

Later plans to present its petition at the May 13 meeting of the school board. �e petition has set a goal of 2,000 signatures before that date.

Issaquah School District spokesperson L Michelle said this is an issue the district has been looking at on for years.

“We are open to re-examining this issue, but it is important to recognize that it is not an easy change to make and there are high costs associated,” she wrote in an email. “�e major obstacle is transporta-tion and the expense of eliminating our multi-tiered bus system, which saves tax-payers millions of dollars each year. ...

“It is a very complicated issue,” she wrote.

More sleep for teens in Issaquah

Boater safety classes �e local United States Coast guard Auxiliary Eastside Flotilla 22 will present three,

one-day classes on boating rules and safety.Washington state law now requires all persons between the ages of 12 and 60 years

of age to have a state Boater Education Card in their possession when operating a boat powered by a 15 hp motor or greater. Vessel operators who are required to have a Boater Education Card must carry the card on board the vessel and have it available for inspec-tion by an enforcement o�cer. Not carrying a card can result in a �ne.

�e one-day class will be held between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., on Saturdays; May 30 and June 27. �e classes will be held at  Bellevue Fire Station #9 in Newcastle at 12412 Newcastle Way. �e cost is $30 for the class materials and the test. Registrants are asked to register and pay two weeks in advance in order to receive the book before the class begins.

�ose who attend the one-day class and pass the examination at the end of the day will receive a certi�cate which may be used to apply for a Washington state Boater Educa-tion card. �e ABS class is taught by experienced boaters who are Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors.

For information and to register, email Terrence Hooper at [email protected] or call 425-885-0259. For more on state law regarding boating and vessel registration, go tohttp://boat.wa.gov/regulations.asp.

“It’s a wonderful result,” Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance said. “We have so much in common with all the folks in Klahanie. We share schools and so many other things — libraries, public parks. Now we can share all those things as one community.”

�ere was a 40 percent voter turnout for the Klahanie ballot measure.

�e Sammamish advisory vote was meant to gauge how many residents want local initiative and referendum powers, which would give citizens limit-

ed power over some types of legislation. It is up to the council, now, to decide what to do with that input.

Vance said he can’t imagine the coun-cil going against the majority opinion, but it is up to the council, as a whole, to implement these powers.

�ere was a 20 percent turnout for the Sammamish initiative/referendum advisory vote.

Ballot results will be continuously updated until May 12, when results are �nal, and posted on the King County Elections website.

The Jazz Run preliminary plat sits along Issaquah, Sammamish city bordersBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

� e Summit Homes developer is in the process of getting city approval to develop 6.2 acres into 19 single-family residential lots in northern Issaquah.

� e Jazz Run preliminary plat proposal in the 23000 block of Southeast 48th Street sits on the Issaquah/Sammamish City borders. It’s one of many develop-ments to pop up in this area within the last decade or so.

� e development would include a small park. Construction crews would also complete the last piece of a trail that wraps around the wetland, which stretch-es into surrounding eastern, western and southern plats. � e wetland stretches across 1.76 acres in the southern portion of the proposed Jazz Run area.

� e rural outskirts of northern Is-saquah have been slated for development for years, per the city’s comprehensive plan, as the area is within the city’s urban growth boundary.

� e area is comprised of three parcels,

each with an existing residence. Two of these houses will be demolished and removed.

A lot line adjustment on the parcel with the last, pre-existing house will divide the parcel in half, isolating the residence along the southeastern plat border.

Lot sizes within the development will range between 4,661 square feet and 6,549 square feet, with a density of 3.05 lots per acre. � is is well below Issaquah’s maximum density requirements of 7.26 dwellings per acre.

A couple of Issaquah residents brought up some concerns with the preliminary plat designs during the city’s hearing ex-aminer public hearing Tuesday morning.

Kate Stenberg, whose house neighbors the proposed plat location, has lived o� of Southeast 48th Street for 20 years with her husband, Bob Harrison.

Stenberg has a Ph.D. in biology and in land use planning and used her creden-tials as a basis for the issues she took regarding the wetland bu� er and ground borne vibration.

“I would recommend we not reduce the bu� er,” she said, citing the 25 percent reduction to the outer area.

She also raised concern with fragment-ing the bu� er, as the wetland trail would be divide in the outer wetland area.

Plat applicant civil engineer Don Proctor argued the outer bu� er reduc-

SE 48th St plat developer looks to break ground this summer

tion from 75 feet to 56 feet was due to the decaying environment. � is area, now a grated open space with little vegetation, is slated to support the .46 acre stormwater vault. He also said the outer wetland area would be enhanced with more vegetation that will create an overall stronger bu� er.

Stenberg was concerned about ground borne vibrations, created when construc-tion crews compress the roads. � ese vibrations, during previous construction, have shook her house. � e city’s consult-ing engineer, Doug Schlepp, took note of the concerns.

She raised other topics pertaining to tra� c safety issues and the loss of the existing neighborhood’s character as more plats are developed in the area.

Her husband echoed these concerns and added his contempt for the Sam-mamish lighting requirements, which he believes will not mitigate the tra� c safety concerns.

About 31 percent of signi� cant trees will be retained on site, which meets Is-saquah’s tree retention requirements.

� e trees removed from along South-east 48th Street will be replaced when the landscaping is planted along the street between a sidewalk and on-street parking.

� e developer hopes to break ground, establishing the roads and utility lines, this summer. � e hearing examiner’s re-port will be released in a couple of weeks.

�eir last raise came in 2008. Commissioners in Janu-ary proposed an 8 percent increase starting Sept. 1 and another 3 percent on Sept. 1, 2016.

�is would push pay for 143 lawmakers from $42,106 to $46,839. Leaders of the four caucuses have higher salaries.

�e Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader would make $55,738 while the House and Senate minor-ity leaders would earn $51,288.

Lawmakers aren’t the only ones in line for higher salaries. Commissioners are suggesting 4 percent increases for the governor, eight other statewide elected o�ce-holders and every judge from district court up to the Supreme Court. For some jobs, the panel wants to add in a little more such as an extra 8 percent for the state treasurer and 3.5 percent for the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Under the proposal, Inslee would make $173,617 in 2016, up from $166,891 today, and Chief Justice Barbara Madsen’s earnings would climb from $172,531 to $185,661.

All these raises are not set in stone.On May 13, commissioners will hold a �nal public

hearing before adopting a new wage chart for the legisla-tive, executive and judicial branches.

It must be �led with the Secretary of State by June 1 and the new salaries would go up Sept. 1.

But they can be blocked by referendum. One would need to collect and turn in at least 123,186 valid signa-tures of registered voters before Sept. 1.

If successful, the issue could be on the ballot this fall.

Maddie Sprague was born with congenital heart defectsBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Six-year-old Maddie Sprague rejoined her kindergarten classmates at Discovery Elementary School this month.

It’s the � rst time she’s been back with her new heart.She was born with congenital heart defects; her under-

developed heart didn’t allow enough blood � ow throughout her body. She has had several open-heart surgeries — including one on the day she was born — but her parents didn’t expect she’d need a transplant for many years.

In the fall, Maddie’s energy levels dropped, her mother, Jeannie, said. Maddie went into heart failure, just six months a� er an open-heart surgery that was expected to prolong failure for another decade.

Maddie received her � rst transplanted heart at Seattle Children’s the day a� er Christmas 2014, three days a� er being put on the transplant list.

And it’s likely she will need another in the future.But the Sammamish community has rallied to help the

Sprague family, as volunteers aim to raise $50,000 for trans-

plant-related expenses. To date, the fund has nearly $27,000.Maddie’s parents, who knew of her condition when they

adopted her as a baby, are taken aback by the heart-warming community support.

“It’s the greatest thing you can ever imagine,” Jeannie Sprague said.

� e Spragues moved to the Renaissance Ridge neighbor-hood in Sammamish almost three years ago. � ey have four children: the oldest, Warren, 10; Maddie, the middle child; and four-year-old twins, Jake and Joe. All four children are adopted.

� e neighborhood community has also come together to help the family of six, from bringing over meals to taking turns baby-sitting the children.

Jeannie Sprague said everyone, including their church and school communities, have played a role in providing lasting support that has li� ed some of their burdens.

Last weekend, the community gathered at the Columbia Athletic Club o� of 228th Avenue for a TRI 4 Maddie triathlon.

� e triathlon included an 800-meter swim and a 90 minute bike right for club members only. At a

quarter to 9 a.m., any community member was wel-come to join in a 3-mile run starting and ending at the club.

� e event raised $2,005, which will go to the Children’s Or-gan Transplant Association in honor of Maddie for transplant-related expenses.

Typically, a transplanted heart lasts 15 years, but there’s re-ally no telling when it will give out.

� ere’s no doubt Maddie will need a new heart in the future.“It’s not a question of if; it’s a question of when,” COTA

community coordinator Holly Quinnett said.Quinnett lives two doors down from the Spragues and is

motivated to help the family with expenses, like paying for a nanny or various medications.

COTA helps support patients with all transplant-related medical expenses during their lifetime.

Donations to the fund can be made online through the COTA website at http://cota.donorpages.com/PatientOnline-Donation/COTAforTeamMaddieS/.

*� e Spragues took Maddie to Seattle Children’s Tuesday night due to a fever and possible pneumonia case. Neighbors rallied earlier this week to help with meals and baby-sitting the other children.

Colin and Jeannie Sprague, Maddie’s parents, pedal at the Columbia Athletic Club off of 228th Avenue during the TRI 4 Maddie triathlon April 25. The event raised a little more than $2,000 for Maddie’s transplant-related expenses.

The event, catered to students 12 years and older, is free. To attend, students must apply and commit to take action on local and global causes.

The stadium-sized event brings world-renowned speakers together to educate students on local and global issues.

The inspirational event kicks off the year-long We Act program, the service projects students committed to in the application process.

We Act and other programs aim to shift the focus from the individual and instead empower teens to make a difference through community involvement.

“At Microsoft, I’ve seen first-hand the power technol-ogy has to empower and inspire others,” Harnick said. “Fundify is a perfect example of this type of work.”

Every so o�en, a green, blue-green or even red murky �lm will appear on the usually pristine waters of Lake Washington. What is it? Where does it come from? Is it safe?

For many who live on or around Lake Washington, the sight of algae or green scum on the water is �eet-ing. But it looks suspicious. �ese mats or blooms of bacteria are o�en blown from place to place by the wind, then settle into nooks and crannies along the shore.

A combination of warm temperatures, sunlight, and nutrient-rich waters can cause blue-green algae to reproduce rapidly, or “bloom.” Within a few days, a clear lake, pond or ditch can become cloudy with algae growth. Blue-green blooms usually �oat to the surface and can be several inches thick near the shoreline.

In late January of this year, the King County

Environmental Labora-tory found concentrations above the state recreational guideline that are poten-tially dangerous for human health in Lake Washington. “Scums,” or accumulation of toxic algae, were found at Arrowhead Point in Kenmore, Magnuson Park and Gene Coulon Park in Renton. �e greenish water has also been spotted from time to time at Luther Burbank Park and along the Island’s south end.

Although blue-green blooms can create nuisance conditions and undesirable water quality, most are not toxic.

�ese �oating patches consist of algae, water-borne bacteria that occur naturally in water. �e patches are made up of millions of tiny living organisms that are hard to pick up or hold. �ey are harmless. Yet some, given just the right conditions, can turn toxic.

Toxins are created when the bacteria encounters changes in pH levels, warmer temperatures and

other conditions such as nutrient loading (princi-pally from various forms of nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer) and trace metals.

If the bloom is toxic, people and pets can get sick by ingesting the water or getting it on their skin, According to scientists, dogs are especially sensi-tive to cyanotoxins and can become seriously ill.

Engineering scientist Sally Abella of the Science and Technical Support Section of the King County Water and Land Resources Division says that the agency o�en �nds out about such blooms from calls from individuals. Some take samples and

send it to their lab. �e agency also moni-

tors a number of buoys in Lake Washington for the presence of toxic bacteria. But there are few working working buoys on Lake Washington and elsewhere. �ere used to be more, Abella said.

“Many have been hit by boats or damaged over time. �ere is no money available to �x or replace them,” she said.

A recent report showed high toxin levels at the

buoy near Coulon Beach in Renton and a buoy north of the SR-520 bridge, Arrowhead Point and on the south side of the I-90 bridge.

�ere are many resourc-es that can help identify if the algae blooms are safe. View maps of lakes and and buoy locations at https://www.nwtoxicalgae.org/FindLakes.aspx.

And let the DNR know what you have found.

“�e agency welcomes input from those who spot

the blooms,“ Abella said.But when in doubt, stay

out, she said.Avoid all contact with

water containing algae. Keep pets and animals-

away from the water.

Most of the time, greenish algae found in Lake Washington, Seattle’s Greenlake (above) or smaller lakes and ponds, is harmless. But it can sometimes become toxic to both people and pets.

Eastlake Wolves starting pitcher Julie Graf doesn’t get rattled when things get tough in the pitching circle.

Graf, who has been the Wolves ace during the 2015 season, allowed just four hits and two earned runs in seven innings of work guiding Eastlake to a 6-4 victory against the Bothell Cou-gars on April 27 in Sammamish.

Eastlake had a 5-1 lead after four innings of play but saw their lead nearly evaporate in the top of the fifth inning. Eastlake made two errors and Bothell capital-ized by putting three runs on the board, cutting Eastlake’s lead to 5-4.

Graf stopped the bleeding by striking out Bothell’s Olivia Aasen to end the inning and quell the

comeback threat. Eastlake head coach Stephanie Fox said the fifth inning has been a thorn in the side of her team this year.

“The fifth inning seems to be a struggle for us. We had a few errors but Julie stayed with it. I’m really proud of her. She did a great job,” Fox said.

The Wolves improved their overall record to 5-7 with the win. The 2015 season hasn’t been ideal for the Wolves record-wise but Graf has enjoyed the ride none-theless.

“We’ve had our ups and downs for sure but its just made us a re-ally strong team. It’s been a great team to be part of,” Graf said. “We had a rough first half of the year but we’re writing a new chapter for the rest of the season right now. We’re just going to take it one game at a time for the rest of our games.”

Graf credited the defense behind her for the successful per-formance against Bothell. Of the 21 outs recorded by Eastlake, nine were courtesy of ground balls.

“I trust my team. I know they always have my back. I’m going to try to always do my job but I

always know that they’re going to be there to pick me up too,” she said.

The Wolves finished the game with 12 hits and scored three of its six runs in the bottom of the fourth. Fox said her team got bet-ter offensively as the game wore on.

“We don’t give up and are a team that adjusts well. A lot of the girls, the second time they went through the lineup is when they got their hits. That is what it is all about,” she said.

Freshman Georgia Robinson went 3-for-4 with an RBI at the plate for the Wolves. Graf went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Maddie Coats went 2-for-3 in the win.

The Wolves will host the South Puget Sound League South Rog-ers Rams in a non-league game at 4 p.m.on May 4 at Eastlake High School in Sammamish.

The Wolves will also face the Newport Knights at 4:30 p.m. on May 6 at Tyee Middle School in Bellevue in a battle of KingCo league squads.

Sometimes the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story.

� e Newport Knights may have defeated the Skyline Spartans 6-2 in a battle between Class 4A KingCo jug-gernauts on April 24 in Sammamish, but the Spartans le� their home-� eld knowing they proved themselves against one of Washington’s top baseball pro-grams. w

Skyline (9-7 overall) took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning when Jonathan Criest blasted a double to le� � eld, scoring a hustling David Kringle from � rst base. � e Spartans maintained a 1-0 advantage until the top of the sixth.

Newport (14-2 overall) put up three runs and sent seven batters to the plate in the top of the sixth, taking a 3-1 lead. Skyline added a run in the bottom of the sixth cutting Newport’s lead to 3-2. Newport added three more runs in the top of the seventh to put the game away.

Skyline coach Steve Darnell was proud of his squad’s performance against the Knights, despite the loss.

“We competed. We had quality pitching and played good defense. Newport is a very good team and are very experienced. We are a very young team,” Darnell said. “We played some very good baseball today outside of two

innings (sixth and seventh).”Skyline starting pitcher Sam Law-

rence had a pro� cient game on the bump, allowing just four hits and three earned runs in six innings of work.

Newport ace Todd Reese was impres-sive as well surrendering just � ve hits and two earned runs in seven innings on the hill. Reese allowed three hits in the � rst two innings before � nding his groove in the � nal � ve innings of play with a wide assortment of change-ups and breaking balls.

“We didn’t make adjustments at the plate. � eir pitcher (Reese) made adjust-ments to our hitters. We started seeing more o� -speed stu� and we weren’t able to make the adjustments. � at was the di� erence in the game,” Darnell said.

Newport head coach Brad Files said both teams arrived at the showdown playing their best baseball of the season. Newport came into the contest on a six-game winning streak while Skyline had won four straight contests.

“Something had to give,” Files said of both team’s winning streaks. “We got a veteran club. We didn’t panic, we stuck together and pulled it out in the end. Nothing is going to be easy. We needed a game like that today to show some grit.”

Newport Knights capture comeback victory against Skyline

BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Flashback to just a little more than a month ago: � e 2015 high school baseball season wasn’t going accord-ing to plan for the Issaquah Eagles.

Issaquah had started o� the season 1-2 but found themselves crushed 10-0 by Newport on March 26, then 11-0 by Redmond on March 27.

Issaquah head coach Rob Reese, who has been the leader of the Eagles for the past 22 seasons in

the dugout, had a spir-ited 15-minute post-game discussion in le� � eld with his squad following their woeful performance against Redmond.

“We lost 14 seniors from last year’s team. It’s a new squad,” Reese said following the loss to Redmond. “We didn’t compete as good as we should have but we’ve probably faced two of the best le� ies in the league the last two days. You can’t hit pitchers like Redmond’s pitcher (Brendan Ecklebarg-er-University of Washington commit) until you have

seen him before. You don’t get to see those guys in C-team or JV. � e season is young. We have a lot of good players, but its just a matter of adjusting.”

� e comments by Reese proved to be prophetic: � e Eagles have won eight of their past 12 games since the loss to Redmond.

� e Eagles baseball pro-gram has been one of the most formidable programs in the state in the past two decades, winning state championships in 2000, 2004 and 2007.

It’s not the kind of pro-

gram that rebuilds so much as it reloads. � e competi-tion for a spot on the varsity roster is � erce and once a player garners a spot on the team he recognizes what’s at stake and rises to the occasion.

� e playo� s are on the immediate horizon for a plethora of Washington’s powerhouse baseball pro-grams.

With Reese calling the shots in the dugout, the sky is the limit for the Eagles.
