With little comment or discus-sion, the Lake Washington School board unanimously approved a budget for the next school year at its Aug. 4 meeting.

The board had discussed the $378 million spending plan at its June 23 meeting when it heard a presentation on the draft budget.

The vast majority of the dis-trict’s funding, about 64 percent, comes from the state. Local levy dollars represent about 22 per-cent, federal funding 5.5 percent, and the rest comes from fees and other sources.

The Lion’s share of the bud-get is the $271.9 million general fund. The general fund pays for the vast majority of the district’s expenses, including day-to-day operations and employee sala-

ries.The district expects to see

about $17.1 million more in reve-nues for its general fund. Of that, $7.5 million will come from local sources, $8.2 million from state funding, and the rest from grants and fee-based programs.

Overall, revenues are pro-jected to go up by 6.7 percent to $273.4 million.

General fund expenditures would go up by 5.1 percent under the plan, Posthumous said, largely because more students keep coming to Lake Washington schools. About $3.8 million of the general fund increase of $18.3 million is related to the staff-ing needs to accommodate the increased number of students.

The district will add more than 66 new positions next year, not including classroom teachers.

(Teacher funding is dependent on enrollment, and comes direct-ly from the state, so adding a new teacher is not a district expense.)

The district is predicting total enrollment to increase from 25,571 this year to 26,367 next year – an increase of 796 students (3.2 percent).

The budget calls for purchas-ing a new curriculum for special-education literacy, and printing costs to support that program. It

also calls for adding an adminis-trator to support all curricula on a district-wide basis.

More funding is set aside to allow a seven-period day in high schools; develop a kindergarten and first-grade program for gifted students; and allow common advanced placement classes in all high schools. The district also wants to explore alternatives to suspension as a form of disci-pline, and includes funding for allowing in-school suspensions.

Funding is also set aside to meet a state mandate to increase annual instructional time to 1,027 hours per year, Pierce said. The budget would increase high-school athletics directors’ positions from a 0.8 position to a full-time position. It calls for hir-ing new counselors, nurses, cus-todians, field crews and a pair of

mental health/social workers on a contract basis.

The budget would pay for 18 new people to help support teachers. These would be skilled teachers who would not be in a classroom, but would offer pro-fessional development for district teachers. They include four K-5 literacy coaches, 10 K-12 instruc-tional coaches, two professional learning specialists, and two

If the first round of results for the Aug. 5 primary elec-tion mean anything, they mean incumbents don’t have much to fear this election cycle.

All five candidates repre-senting Sammamish in the Legislature have healthy leads over their opponents.

All of the same names were going to appear on the November ballot no matter the results. Washington has a top-two pri-mary system, and all five of the Legislative seats on the ballot had only two candidates.

However, the August results can help give a sense of who the frontrunners are.

Perhaps more importantly, a lopsided result can scare off donors from the candidate on the short end, while a close race could mean more money flow-ing in.

Results of the mail-in election will be finalized Aug. 19.

Incumbents look good in primaries

Beyond the gen-eral fund, $50.8 million will go toward debt service, and another $48.4 million will go toward major construc-tion projects. Another $5.1 million will fund after-school activities, and $1.8 million will purchase new school buses.

All of these pro-grams get their money from dedicated funding sources such as bonds, fees and direct state funding.

One of two contested races on Sammamish ballots was for District Court judge. In that, Lisa O’Toole, of Newcastle, blew away her two oppo-nents, winning 60 percent of the vote.

Who O’Toole will face in November remains to be seen. Sammamish resident Marcus Naylor won 20 percent of the vote, while Rick Leo, of

Snoqualmie, had 19 per-cent.

In the 8th Congressional District, incumbent U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert (R) is cruising toward re-election with 59 percent of the vote. He looks likely to face Jason Ritchie, who’s gotten 32 percent. A third candi-date, Keith Arnold got 9 percent.

In the 41st Legislative District, which repre-sents the southern half of Sammamish, Tana Senn (D) is well ahead of chal-lenger Bill Stinson by a

60-39 margin. Senn was appointed

to the Legislature after having been appointed to the Mercer Island City Council, so this is the first time her name has appeared on a ballot.

Longtime incum-bent Judy Clibborn (D), chairwoman of the House Transportation Committee is also cruis-ing to victory over Alex O’Neil, 75-24.

In the 45th District, which represents the northern half of Sammamish, state Sen.

Andy Hill (R) has a healthy lead over chal-lenger Matt Isenhower, 54-46.

In House races in the 45th, incumbent Roger Goodman (D) is ahead of Joel Hussey, also by a 54-46 margin. Goodman defeated Hussey two years ago.

Larry Springer (D) is doing better than the other two incumbents, ahead of newcomer Brendan Woodward by a 56-44 margin.

The general election is set for Nov. 4.

Reard House grant denied

Parks Director Jessi Bon shared some bad news with the Sammamish City Council on July 15.

The Sammamish Heritage Society is in the midst of renovating the Reard House, a nearly 120-year-old farmhouse, which sits on a portion of what will become Big Rock Park.

The house had not been built on the location, but moved there to help save it from the wrecking ball.

The house is located on what is known as Parcel B of Big Rock Park. The parcel is still owned by Mary Piggott, and she

has committed to donat-ing the land to the city, although there is no firm timeframe for the transac-tion.

The heritage soci-ety had applied for a $40,000 grant from the Washington Historical Society to help them with their restoration efforts.

The grant, however, comes with conditions that cannot be met. First, there must be public utili-ties available at the site. But the terms of Piggott’s donation generally forbid those, Bon said.

Additionally, once the work is complete, the house must be open to the public. Since the city doesn’t own the property, and doesn’t know when it might, it can’t be publicly accessible.

“We have reached an impasse, and we’re not going to meet the require-ments of that grant,” Bon said.

The society will con-tinue to raise funds for the restoration work on the house.

The city has made minimal contributions to the work, which has been virtually entirely funded by donations and grants.

Council may revise sewer policies

Sammamish City Manager Ben Yazici pro-posed the city revise its sewer policy to give more flexibility about when new homes must connect to a sewer line.

Speaking at the City Council’s July 15 meet-ing, the issue came up during a presentation of the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District’s Comprehensive Plan.

Since Sammamish is inside King County’s Urban Growth Boundary, state law envisions that all properties will even-tually be connected to a sewer system.

To implement that, Sammamish has a poli-cy, which echoes King County’s, that new con-struction within 200 feet of a sewer line must con-nect to the line

Property owners are responsible for laying the pipe and making the con-nection, costs which can sometimes run into very high dollar values.

Yazici said the city sometimes has situations where a large property – five acres or more, for example – might have a sewer line near one cor-ner, but the home was built on the other side.

Under current regu-lations, the property owner would be required to bear the expense of bringing the sewer line all the way to the home site.

Yazici suggested the council consider changing the regulations to say the change is only required when “feasible and rea-sonable,” to allow some flexibility.

It is unclear when the council might adopt the proposed change.

Sammamish Forum

OPINIONReview editorialWhere were all the no voters?

In the past year, voters in the Lake Washington School District twice rejected proposed bonds to help pay for needed school improvements. The rea-sons were many, but they boiled down to voters not trusting the district to spend the money efficiently.

Last week, when the district held its public hear-ing on the annual budget, there was not one single comment from the public.

Naysayers, where were you?It’s a common phenomenon, really. People look

at their tax bill and imagine a hundred different ways the government must be mismanaging tax dol-lars.

Yet, when budget time rolls around, they are nowhere to be seen. Here was your chance, folks. If you truly don’t think the district spends wisely, where better to change that than through the budget hearing?

For example, people complained about a top-heavy administration, but did not complain when the district added two director-level positions, as part of a total of 63 new positions, none of which are classroom teachers.

The documents are all there. District staff is and has always been willing and able to answer ques-tions. If there is such waste, surely it’s worth the time to look through the budget, find it and tell the school board what it is.

Perhaps people did the work. Perhaps they reviewed the budget, as did this newspaper, and determined the spending was worthwhile and the positions were needed. But if that’s the case, then why oppose the bond measures?

What’s more likely is that people said no to new taxes, but don’t want to take on the harder job of fig-uring out what they should say yes to.

If people really want to see change in the way the schools work, they need to remain engaged dur-ing the nitty-gritty work (or maybe run for office – there were no contested races in last year’s Lake Washington School Board election, even though one was for an open seat), and not just show up for the big events.

People who say no when the district asks for money owe it to the district to explain what they should do instead. The budget hearing was their chance, and they blew it.

Mayor misses the markIn an attempt to save face in

his op-ed last week regarding justification for his demeanor at a recent city council meeting, Mayor Tom Vance was too self-aggrandizing.

He never addressed the issue; that he was impulsive, improper, and overbearing to Sammamish citizens who were greatly con-cerned about an issue the mayor and the city were willing to over-look in hopes of maintaining a political position with a senior branch of government.

He owes the citizens an apol-ogy and an intention to better handle emotional events with decorum (proper behavior that shows respect and good manners) in the future. We can’t forget his spoken “cost of coffee” comment, which with his guard down tells what he really thinks of the citi-zens he serves.

Yes, that was hostile and in a moment of non-thinking (dem-onstrated more than just a few times) his true self was revealed.

He has previously said he only wanted one term as a Councilman.

Keep guns away from domestic violence abusers

I’m writing to express my sup-port for Congress and our U.S. senators to take action and pro-tect women from gun violence and domestic violence.

Women are at an unacceptable risk of gun violence in abusive situations. According to FBI sta-tistics, more than half of people murdered by their intimate part-ners were killed with a gun.

Current law doesn’t go far enough to protect women. As the law stands, women who are in an abusive dating relationship, as well as victims of stalking, can’t have law enforcement prevent their abusers from having guns.

The Senate just had its first

hearing on the links between gun violence and domestic vio-lence, but much more needs to be done. Congress needs to take action immediately to change the law to protect women from gun violence.

Unfortunately, our local con-gressman, Dave Reichert, is not supportive of gun control legis-lation, so I urge all those who care about this issue to write to him, to let him know that there are many members of his constituency who care about women facing danger in domes-tic violence situations, and to ask him to show support for leg-islation to prevent all domestic violence abusers from having access to guns.

Please respect people’s right to their political opinions

This is an open letter: Please show forbearance, tolerance and respect for other’s views and efforts to communicate those in upcoming elections.

We have begun to see destructive actions against political signs on public rights of way and in private locations. People need to understand it is illegal to touch someone else’s political signage, a misdemean-or, in fact, that will get one thrown in jail.

In the 2004 election, two indi-viduals were caught destroying my signs and spent time in jail. I could hardly keep one conser-vative sign intact for more than a few days.

Then, I put up a notice next to my sign, “It is illegal to mess with another person’s political sign. This right to free speech is what keeps us civilized and nonviolent. It is the basis for our society. Two people have already gone to jail for messing with this sign. Don’t be a third. Instead, if you have a compet-ing idea, put your own sign up.”

That seemed to put an end to

the trouble. I did not press charg-es, and let the miscreants go after a night in jail, but maybe in the interest of setting an example, I should have pressed charges.

Perhaps you fine citizens can get the word out to all that for a democratic republic to work peacefully, we all need to be able to speak our minds without being harassed and squelched. Let your ideas compete in the arena of public opinion. Let the cards land where they land and work as you can on the next election.

It is your involvement that makes the American Experiment a success. Let us not fall the way of petty dictators who must control the dialog to protect indefensible views. If you have a viewpoint, let’s see it — right next to mine!

Outdoor burning banned through Sept. 30

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources announced Aug. 11 that it is expanding the current statewide burn ban to cover all outdoor burning on DNR-protected

lands.The statewide burn ban

will run through Sept. 30. It applies to all lands under DNR fire protection, which does not include federally owned lands.

Hot and dry weather since early summer have caused hazardous condi-tions, which in turn have caused fires to spread

rapidly and challenged fire-fighting efforts.

All outdoor burning on DNR-protected lands is prohibited under the ban,

including recreational fires in campgrounds. Fireworks and incendiary devices, such as exploding targets, sky lanterns or tracer

ammunition, are illegal on all DNR-protected lands. Charcoal briquettes are also not allowed.

In addition, DNR urges

extreme caution around any activity that may start a fire.

The 2014 season may not have featured a storybook ending, but most of the evidence points to a remarkably successful two-year run for the Eastside FC 98 Red girls soccer team.

Head coach Tom Bialek and his 17 players – four of whom hail from Issaquah and Skyline high schools – returned to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships last month. The squad won the under-14 national crown last summer, and was looking to repeat the feat in the under-15 tournament, held July 22-27 in Germantown, Md.

Skyline players Cameron Tingey, Alexa Kirton and Molly Monroe, as well as Issaquah’s Kaylene Pang, contributed to the run to nationals. The select squad also includes players from Bellevue, Seattle Prep, Tahoma, Jefferson, Holy Names, Kentridge and Mount Si.

Eastside wasn’t able to hoist the trophy again, settling for third place after a dramatic 1-0 overtime loss in the semifinals to Jacksonville, Fla., which went on to claim the title.

Jacksonville’s Leah Ferlin scored on a diving header in the 110th minute to derail Eastside’s hopes. Eastside finished 1-1-1 in pool play, enough to reach the semifinals, where they had plen-

ty of positives to take away.“I am very proud of the effort

the girls put forth,” Bialek said in a news release. “Every game was

very demanding and required everything we had to give.

“We played our best game overall in the semifinals, and

while we created many good chances and controlled play to a large degree, we never could break through with a goal, though

we did hit the crossbar twice and the post once.”

Tingey, an outside defender, said the semifinal match hinged on Eastside’s inability to finish, even though they had the ball in Jacksonville’s end of the field much of the time.

“It was tough not to get the outcome we wanted,” Tingey said. “They played really well, but I think we should’ve won that game.”

Eastside opened the six-day national tournament with a 2-1 victory over Alliance Academy 99 Black of Grand Rapids, Mich.

Eastside forward Makaylie Moore opened the scoring in the 35th minute by dribbling around the keeper and slotting the ball into the net.

The Michigan squad tied the score four minutes later. Monroe, the Eastside goalkeeper, was forced to make a difficult save early in the second half to keep the score level.

That set the stage for Moore, who scored her second goal of the match with a diving header in the 59th minute.

Kirton, whose natural position is central midfielder, shifted to forward for nationals. She cred-ited Monroe for making saves at crucial times.

“She’s been injured for quite

The Skyline High School girls soccer team has its sights set on another deep run in the state playoffs, but it’s the work they’re doing during the summer that may hold the key to success.

Dozens of Spartans soccer players have been preparing for the 2014 season – which officially stars Aug. 25 with tryout sessions – by spending their summer months in the weight room.

They’re not working with-out guidance. Skyline brought in Kevin Chiles, a professional sports development coach, for a series of twice-a-week workouts that started in mid-July and fin-ish during the week of tryouts.

The training sessions are vol-untary, and players have paid

a suggested donation of $50 to participate. It’s much different from a mandatory training envi-ronment, said Kiara Williams, a former Skyline soccer player who is assisting Chiles with the train-ing program.

“Everyone comes because they want to be here,” Williams said, “and they’re actually working hard, which is nice, because then that also shows you the amount of improvement from week to week to week.”

From varsity veterans to incoming freshmen, a major-ity of the players in the Skyline program have joined in at some point. A dozen players were on hand for a 90-minute session Aug. 6, which Williams led in

Orthodontics on the Plateau has a proud new owner Live. Dream. Smile. The new owner of Orthodontics on the Pla-teau, Dr. Robert Trujillo, takes these words to heart. “Your smile is one of your biggest assets, not only to your health, but to your confidence as well. We under-stand the importance of your smile and stop at nothing to create for you a smile you’ll love,” he states. Dr. Trujillo was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and after com-pleting his residency, he returned home to the Great Northwest. “My beautiful wife, Angela, and I were married seven years ago. Our first daughter, Mia, was born in 2013, and we’re also the proud par-ents of two miniature dachshunds, Cody and Lacey,” says Dr. Trujillo. In addition to spending time with his family, Dr. Trujillo is interested in travel, culture and the great outdoors. “To say that I am an outdoor enthusiast would be an understatement. Much of my free time is spent hiking, biking, swimming, and camping.” As a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, Dr. Trujillo has the training and experience you expect from an elite healthcare profes-sional. He uses only the finest materi-als and products to ensure your smile results exceed your expectations. “We have the latest advances in orthodontics available, including In-visalign® clear aligners and TADs. We also use cutting-edge imaging technol-ogy and supplies. Through continuing education, we stay up to date on state-of-the-art orthodontic solutions,” says Trujillo. Orthodontics on the Plateau is lo-cated in the heart of Sammamish and is close to schools and homes. There

is ample parking, flexible financing, and convenient appointment times. Evening appointments are available on Mondays and they are always available for emergencies. “Our team takes the time to truly get to know each of our patients. We are committed to providing the best expe-rience possible with no compromises to quality care. Our team members pride themselves on being welcoming and personable in all that we do,” says Trujillo. Community involvement is a prior-ity for Dr. Trujillo and the team. There are opportunities for patients to engage in goal setting, academic mentorship, community service and fun contests. “Service to others is one of my great-est passions. I love the Sammamish plateau and the families who live here. I look forward to growing with this amazing community for many years to come,” says Trujillo.

a while, so we were lucky to have her back,” Kirton said. “She made quite a few big saves that we needed just to reach the semifinal game … I’m glad she’s back because I was the backup goalie, and I don’t know how to play goalie at all.”

The second test of pool play proved more difficult, as Eastside matched up with YMS Premier Xplosion of Yardley, Pa., a team they knew well after beating them a year ago in the U-14 national championship match.

Eastside’s Joanna Harber put her team ahead just 10 minutes in, but Xplosion answered with goals in the 31st, 48th and 63rd minutes to claim a 3-1 win.

A point from the pool-play finale was enough to get Eastside into the semifinals, and they got the job done with a 1-1 draw against Legends FC of Chino Hills, Calif.

Harber scored again for Eastside in the opening minutes of the second half, but the Legends equal-ized off a corner kick in the 60th minute. Eastside missed a chance to win in the final 10 minutes when

the Californian goalkeeper saved a penalty kick.

Eastside had a dominat-ing season to qualify for nationals. In their first 37 matches, the team went 30-3-4, recorded 25 shut-outs, and outscored oppo-nents 92-16.

The team won state and regional titles en route to Maryland, and also did well in the prestigious U.S. Youth Soccer National League – a 6-1 record that required extensive travel to North Carolina and Las Vegas.

A strong club season may bode well for the players as they begin high-school tryouts Aug. 25. All of them are sophomores, and many are trying to prove themselves for the first time at the varsity level.

Tingey, for example, was nudged off Skyline’s varsity last fall because of a large group of experienced seniors, but saw some action in the playoffs that has her hungry for more.

Kirton was injured last season and didn’t play for the Spartans, and is hoping to make an impact at strik-er or central midfield.

“I’d like to become more creative and start to turn players more often, because my role before was to get the ball and distrib-ute,” she said.

Chiles’ absence.For some players, it

was their eighth training session, and their fitness levels are noticeably high-er in only a month’s time, Williams said.

“The first couple weeks were a lot of instruction, where now it’s a lot of monitoring and just tweak-ing instead of fully teach-ing,” she said. “The whole time it’s muscle-building, but now it’s even more building, getting stronger, instead of learning every-thing.”

The players attacked a rigorous circuit training regimen in the Skyline weight room. Straight arm planks and crunches tight-ened their core muscles. Squats and presses with free weights and dumb-bells strengthened their arms. And a rapid-fire series of step-ups targeted fast-twitch muscle fibers in their legs.

All the drills are rel-evant to success on the soccer pitch, said Kelli Sullivan, a Skyline senior midfielder.

“Mainly, it’s just stuff like jumping and different kinds of agility work that’s going to let us explode out

of things and move quickly off the ball,” Sullivan explained.

It’s the first time the Skyline players have worked with a professional trainer in the offseason, and they believe it’s going to help them have a stronger start to the season.

“Compared to previous seasons without having this kind of program, we’ve been having to work on our fitness level toward the beginning, and so maybe our start in preseason or our conference wasn’t as strong as we’d hoped,” said Kendra Elderkin, a senior midfielder.

“I think this program is really going to help us because we can work on skill stuff when the season starts instead of having to focus on fitness.”

Williams may be the kind of role model they need. She played midfield and forward at Skyline from 2005-08, helping the Spartans win their first state title as a senior, and went on to a four-year career at Arizona State University.

Athletics are also in her bloodline – her brother is Kasen Williams, a former All-American wide receiver at Skyline who now stars for the University of Washington.

When it comes to offsea-son workouts, Kiara said, things have changed for the better since she left high school.

“I think it’s getting more intense,” she said. “When I went to Skyline, I wish we had this. We didn’t have this.”

Earning a college schol-

arship, she said, may be a motivating factor for play-ers who choose to increase their fitness levels, on top of the work they do year-round with their high-school and select squads.

“The recruiting and stuff for that is getting earlier and earlier,” Williams said, “so having programs like this, where they’re start-ing earlier and earlier with weight lifting, getting their bodies strong and things like that, I think is really, really good.”

Elderkin, who plays for the Redmond-based Crossfire Premier pro-gram, said she needs to get stronger in order to stay healthy through a busy fall schedule. Along with daily practices and at least two matches per week with Skyline, she’ll continue practicing with Crossfire three times a week. Some of the work the trainers encourage may not be intuitive for a soccer player, she said.

For example, Elderkin said building stronger biceps and abdominal mus-cles are things that soccer players should do, but don’t always think about.

“But obviously, explod-ing out of things, and jump-ing and everything, it’s real-ly helped me, I’ve noticed, with my soccer ability,” she said.
