Three Sammamish ele-mentary schools will be get-ting flashing lights remindingdrivers to slow down duringschool hours.

Samantha SmithElementary, on Northeast14th Street, Christa McAuliffeElementary, on Northeast22nd Street, and MargaretMead Elementary, on 216thAvenue Northeast, willreceive the lights as part of a$22,500 grant from theWashington State TrafficSafety Commission.

The city will cover theapproximately $25,000 it willcost to install the lights,which will flash during schoolhours to remind drivers of the20 mph speed limit.

All three of the schools arein the Lake WashingtonSchool District.

The lights are scheduled tobe installed by April.

Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon used toturn the creeks branching from the lake tothe color of rust as thousands of fish headedupstream to spawn.

The once-plentiful fish has declined inrecent decades, perhaps due to constructionnear the tributary creeks, increased preda-tors, disease or changes in water quality.

But the imperiled fish has received a boostfrom local, state and federal officials in recentseasons.

Scientists started to comb the tributarycreeks for spawning salmon late last yearand, during the ongoing spawning season,King County and local, state and federal agen-cies coordinated efforts to restore the species.

Lake Sammamish kokanee — a landlockedcousin of sockeye salmon — return to creeksnear the lake in the rain-soaked months fromNovember to January.

King County, state Department of Fish andWildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Servicestaffers deployed along creek banks through-out the season to collect fish in creeks nearthe lake and spawn the salmon at theIssaquah Salmon Hatchery.

The local hatchery receives half of the eggsto raise to juvenile salmon and the other halfis shipped to the Quilcene National FishHatchery on the Olympic Peninsula.Scientists hope to harvest 110,000 eggs beforethe spawning season wraps.

“Incubating fertilized eggs in a hatchery’scontrolled environment greatly increases

their chance of successful hatching,” stateRegional Hatchery Operations Manager DougHatfield said. “The goal is to jumpstart thisvery low population of fish and bring themback from the brink of extinction.”

Fate remains uncertainThe fish is a candidate for protection

under the federal Endangered Species Act.Kokanee conservationists — including envi-ronmental organizations, local governmentsand the Snoqualmie Tribe — petitioned in2007 to list the species as endangered.

The City Council got its firstlook at city staff’s argument fortaking out the 32nd Street barri-cade Jan. 11 and were remindedof the passion of some who livenear it.

Public Works Director LauraPhilpot told the council herdepartment believes the road,which has been blocked to trafficfor nearly three decades, shouldbe opened to provide a moredirect east-west route and reducetraffic on some neighboringstreets, some of which arealready seeing more cars thanresidential streets are designedfor.

The findings didn’t surpriseabout a half dozen neighbors,some of whom said removing thebarricade was a foregone conclu-sion for the city and council.

“It seems like the city hasalways wanted to remove the bar-ricade,” said Dan Bourgoin, wholives west of the barricade andwould see an estimated 890 morevehicles a day go past his drive-

way by 2016 if the barricade wereremoved. “I think the data (thecity) looked at supports the con-clusion it seems to want to arrive

at. They want to remove the bar-ricade because they have this‘principle’ they want to apply.”

The principle Bourgoin was

referencing is referred to as “con-nectivity” by city road planners,

The Issaquah School District ispreparing to adopt new curriculathis June: one for elementaryschool science and another forhigh school language arts.

District administrators try toupdate curricula every sevenyears, but sometimes budget cutsget in the way. The elementaryscience curriculum was lastupdated in 2003, but the wait hasbeen longer for high school lan-guage arts — it was last updatedduring a three-year period from1999-2001.

Some parents said they feltunsettled after last year’s mathcurriculum adoption, saying thedistrict did not allow themenough input, especially becausea group of parents disagreed withthe curriculum that the IssaquahSchool Board approved.

This year, district administra-tors inserted an extra step in theadoption process: a parent pre-view night.

At the preview nights, parentscan thumb through various cur-ricula and write feedback on

comment cards next to each sta-tion.

The step is one of many thedistrict takes when adopting anew curriculum.

Waiting seven years for eachadoption is standard for the dis-trict, Executive Director of

Teaching and Learning EmilieHard said.

By the end of seven years,textbooks begin to show wearafter hundreds of students haveused them. Information becomesoutdated, effective teaching prac-tices evolve, technology changesand state standards adjust, sheadded.

“There is research that is doneon an ongoing basis, and we wantto stay as current as possible togive our students in Issaquah thebest possible experience we can,”she said.

Some subjects, such as healthor technology classes, have cur-riculua that are updated annual-ly, ensuring they comply withstate standards and evolving tech-nology.

While district administratorsare still unsure of the price forthis year’s adoptions, last year’schemistry curriculum materialscost $120,000.

Washington office, said in lateDecember.

Kokanee used to thrive inLake Sammamish. The fresh-water salmon species formedthe foundation of a robustecosystem and a recreationalfishery. Snoqualmies fishedfor the plentiful salmon as astaple.

In recent years, the numberof salmon in the late-fall andearly-winter run has dwindledto less than 1,000 in some sea-sons. Kokanee return to only ahandful of creeks — Ebright,Laughing Jacobs and Lewis —to spawn.

Teams collect adult kokaneefrom the streams and thenspawn the fish.

Then, hatchery staffersplace the fertilized eggs inincubators to mature andhatch.

The hatchery programtrucks in water from the tribu-tary creeks in order to help thetiny fish “imprint” on thestreams and then return tospawn in the tributariesinstead of the hatcheries.

Scientists hope the tech-nique provides the opportuni-ty to boost the natural runs in

Lake Sammamish tributaries.“Salmon show a strong attach-

ment to the streams and water inwhich they hatch,” U.S. Fish andWildlife Service fish biologist JeffChan said. “Our assumption isthat if we use the water from thestreams that their parentsreturned to, the next generationwill seek out that same streamduring their own spawning run.It would be a big step forward ifwe get this approach to work.”

The next generationThe time the BB-sized eggs

spend at the hatcheries elimi-nates some lethal risks, includingthe threat from flood flows. Theeggs could be scoured from nestsor smothered in silt, sand androcks.

“When you bring them intothe hatchery, what it does isremove that early part, the dan-gerous part where they take thehigh losses due to silting, preda-tion and diseases,” DanMagneson, assistant manager atthe Quilcene hatchery, said inlate December. “The hatchery is aprotected environment, so youcan get them up to the releasesize without that loss.”

Conservationists hope thehatchery program helps sustainkokanee in the short term. Theeffort to preserve the species alsoincludes long-term habitatrestoration projects.

The goal is to create a speciesable to be sustained throughspawning in the wild and, per-haps, restore a kokanee fishery inLake Sammamish.

The effort includes dollarsfrom the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService, the state and the county,plus lakeside cities, includingSammamish and Issaquah.

Creekside residents and othercitizens also contribute to theprogram. Residents alert scien-tists and other staffers to return-ing kokanee. Plans call for agen-cy staffers and citizens to releasekokanee fry into creeks in thespring.

“During this time of extremelytight budgets, we have to worktogether even more closely andfind ways to economize while wemaintain our focus on our goals,”David St. John, chairman of theLake Sammamish Kokanee WorkGroup, said in a statement.

the barricade and said her daugh-ter was hit by a car in 2005.Though her daughter escapedwith a few scrapes, Safronek saidshe didn’t want to see somethingworse happen to someone else’schild.

“I see thousands of kids walkin front of my house,” she toldthe council. “If somebody’sdaughter gets seriously injured,you guys are going to have bloodon your hands.”

City Manager Ben Yazici saidthat across the city, there havebeen six collisions between carsand pedestrians or bicyclists thatcaused significant injury in thelast 10 years.

Prompted by council ques-tions about the cost of sidewalks,Philpot said sidewalks in residen-tial neighborhoods are generallypaid for by developers or by resi-dents through their utility billsand not by city taxpayers as awhole.

“We’re trying to be consistentwith how we treat residentialstreets in other neighborhoods,”she said.

Questioning the validity of thePublic Works Department’sreport, several residents suggest-ed the city pay for an outsideconsultant to look at the barri-cade issue, as they did in the2002 study.

“I’d feel so much better if wehad an independent agencycome back in and update theirreport,” said barricade proponentMichael Perry. “I think it wouldmake everyone more comfort-able to have an unbiased, outside

view.”Ironically, neighbors who

share the same street – a streetprojected to see a significantdecrease in traffic if the barricadecomes down – find themselvesdisagreeing on the issue.

Perry lives on 33rd Place,which currently sees more than1,600 trips a day with little in theway of pedestrian safety mea-sures.

Though the city believes morethan half of that traffic wouldreroute through 32nd Street if itwere opened, Perry said he’smore worried about the potentialspeed of motorists rather thanthe numbers.

“People are going to take thepath of least resistance and whatthey perceive as the fastest

route,” he said.Bob McCoy, who lives just up

the road from Perry and wouldlike to see 32nd Street opened,pointed out that every car tripmissed by a 32nd Street residentis one gained by countless otherson neighboring streets.

“There’s long loops of peoplethat eat those extra cars everyday – people who wish theycould go another way,” he said.

Philpot pointed out that bythe city’s standards, all theroads in the neighborhood areconsidered residential roadsthat should be carrying some-where between 500 and 2,000vehicles a day.

The South Pine Lake routeis currently pushing 3,000 aday, though it was given a

bike lane and sidewalk toaddress the higher than nor-mal traffic. Neither is pro-posed for 32nd Street.

Taking out the barricadewould drop South Pine Lake’svehicles per day down to about2,250, while Southeast 32nd isprojected to have just under1,700 a day.

“(The South Pine Lake route)is connected to a signal (on 228thAvenue),” Philpot said. “We’restill expecting traffic be signifi-cantly higher there (than on32nd Street) because it’s themore direct route.”

But barricade proponentMichael Comerford said theissue is more complicatedthan simply looking at trafficmodels and crunching num-bers.

Opening up the road wouldforever change the characterof the neighborhood – some-thing that motivated many tomove to Sammamish in thefirst place.

“Let’s go beyond car trips perday and miles saved per day andlook into the other ponderablesthat make people want to moveinto Sammamish,” Comerfordsaid, followed by applause fromsome of his neighbors.

The council is expected tomake a decision on the barricadein February or March.

Traffic calming

Sammamish’s Public Works Department recommends thefollowing traffic calming measures be installed if the barricadeis removed.

◆ A traffic circle at the intersection of 32nd Street and 224thAvenue Southeast.

◆ Adding a paved five-foot shoulder to the north side of theroad to allow a straight pedestrian walkway for the wholelength of the road, which is currently marked by a patchworkof sidewalks and skinny, unmarked shoulders.

◆ Re-striping to constrict lanes, which is aimed at makingdrivers slow down.

◆ Road stencils reminding drivers of the 25 mph speed limit.◆ Making 300 feet of the east end of the road a school zone,

since Pine Lake Middle School is on the other side of 228thAvenue and many students walk to school on 32nd Street.

◆ Stop signs at several roads that feed into 32nd Street.◆ Curb extensions on both sides of the abrupt hill near the

barricade.

who point to the car trips thatwill be shifted from nearby roadsthat are used to get around thebarricade. Most prominent is the“South Pine Lake” route (includ-ing Southeast 28th Street), whichwould see an estimated 780fewer daily trips, and Southeast33rd Place, which would seeabout 1,144 fewer cars, accordingto city analysis.

Philpot suggested the cityshould only remove the barricadeafter it implements a series oftraffic calming measures, at a costof about $130,000. (see sidebar)

A 2002 study, much refer-enced by barricade proponents,put the cost of necessaryimprovements at more than $3million, though Philpot said thatcost would reflect rebuilding theentire route in deluxe fashionrather than the current plan – toretrofit the current road withpedestrian improvements.

Many neighbors said theywere skeptical that the trafficcalming would work, and won-dered if the city couldn’t go fur-ther – installing streetlights andcompleting sidewalks on one orboth sides of the street.

Several pointed out thatthough there was at least somesort of sidewalk system east ofthe barricade, there was little tonothing west of it.

Councilwoman NancyWhitten echoed the concernsand said she’d like to seesome price estimates for com-pleting the unfinished side-walks, at least east of the bar-ricade.

“My concern is the school,”she said. “I see lots and lots ofkids walking over there. I’d beconcerned about opening up thebarricade without having someadditional pedestrian safety.”

School-related foot traffic wasalso on the mind of ShelleySafronek, who lives just east of

Cut them down

We’ve lived in Sammamish for sixyears now and really like it here.The natural landscape is very prettywith all the trees (as compared toTexas where we moved from).

However, I can’t help but agreewith Mr. Alan Mebane’s commentsin his letter printed in the Dec. 29,2010 Sammamish Forum.

In short, can we please cut downthe tree stumps (on 228th Avenue)and replant?

Slow down in

school zonesThis letter is to all the drivers

who feel it is necessary to pass mewhen I am doing 20 mph in a schoolzone (especially on 228th in front ofDiscovery Elementary).

Those yellow flashing lightsmean that there are children comingout of school and many of them aregetting ready to cross the street. Thestudents have been taught by theirparents and teachers how to proper-ly cross a street such as looking bothways, waiting for a crossing guard orwaiting for the light to turn green orthe crossing light to flash yellow.

However, children are impulsiveand do not always think about theconsequences of their actions.

They are more interested in get-ting out of school and getting to aplay date, that is when a child mayjust dart across a road chasing aftera friend.

But since you aren’t paying atten-tion and consider it more importantto ignore the speed law, you couldbe the one hitting that child.

My brother was hit and killed byjust such a driver.

This man was in such a rush thathe ran a red light, struck and killedmy brother who was chasing after afriend. There were a lot fewer carson the road 30 years ago and fewersafety rules which makes you thinktoday would be safer.

However, people like you contin-ue to ignore the laws and thereforeincrease the chances of hitting achild.

Please, please slow down so no

one else has to lose a brother theyso dearly love.

Freed house isn’t free

Reading the recent articles onboth sides of this issue is amusing.I don’t advocate burning the placedown, only that those interested inpreserving this “structure” fund itwithout taxpayer dollars.

Already, $70,000 is earmarkedfor this project, and this is$69,999.98 too much (I’ll give my“two cents worth”). This buildingwill need a total renovation with anew roof, siding, windows, founda-tion, and probably new framing.What’s left to preserve?

The structure isn’t even archi-tecturally interesting to look at.When it’s finished what will we dowith it? A new building with ener-gy efficient materials would bemuch better for whatever purposeis proposed.

For those who differ on this, bemy guest and preserve it, justdon’t use Sammamish citizens’hard-earned tax dollars to do it.

This city is going to be in thesame situation that King County,Washington State and our countryare in currently. We are spendingmore than we have and not doingit in a wise manner. Increasingtaxes isn’t going to solve the prob-lem, just exacerbate it.

Every family needs to live with-in a budget and needs to prioritizeexpenditures.

Our city needs to do the same.We can’t print more money likethe federal government. Speakingof DC spending on a local project,we jumped at the chance to spend$3.5 million “free” dollars from ourrich Uncle Sam, but it wasn’t free.

It was $3.5 million of taxpayermoney (actually our kids’ andgrandkids’ money) to pay for aproject so a few residents couldhave an easier place to turn intodriveways and for a few newplants that will cost for water andmaintenance.

To top it off, we had to spendnearly $750,000 of Sammamishresidents’ money to finish this

“free” project. I recommend City Council mem-

bers repeal this Freed House ear-mark and those who want to pre-serve it either put up their ownmoney or raise it through donations.We don’t have unlimited resourcesand the sooner we “all” realize this,the better thiscity/county/state/country will be.

Review editorial

Remove the barricade,start on the others

After years of discussion and months of intensescrutiny, city officials say to remove the 32nd Streetbarricade, one of the Sammamish’s most controver-sial.

Residents, particularly those close to it, havecalled for additional study, to the tune of tens ofthousands of dollars, before doing so.

The City Council should resist the call for addi-tional study, tear down the barricade and imple-ment the new safety features called for in the studyalready in hand.

Barricades have been talked to death. When thecity developed the process for studying each barri-cade, it was a step forward.

Now, residents who didn’t get the answer theywanted, want more study.

The process is already time consuming and itcould takes years before city departments have timeto study all of the various barricades in Sammamish.

Time is no big deal if you are one of the privi-leged few who lives on one of these de facto cul-de-sacs, but it can seem an eternity for those forced todrive miles out of their way because of a barricade.

Adding another study will simply delay the pro-cess again. Furthermore, additional study on the32nd Street barricade sets a precedent that otherneighborhoods will come to expect. Rest assured, nomatter the result, there will be people on both sidesdemanding a study.

The city can hardly afford a single such studynow, let alone one for each barricade.

Residents’ complaints that the city’s study wasdesigned to create the results city officials wantedare unsubstantiated. The numbers generated by thecity’s Public Works Department are clear.

Removing the barricade is a more equitable solu-tion for a larger number of residents. Yes, there aresome losers in this equation who will suddenly havemore traffic in front of their house. Plans to mitigatethese extra cars will not be a 100 percent fix, butthey will help.

For years, the neighbors around the corner fromthis barricade have been shouldering a dispropor-tionate share of the traffic load. It’s time to givethem some relief.

A Sammamish man is in jailafter his estranged wife allegedlyfound a gun safe full of childpornography.

Joseph Padgett, 48, is beingcharged with first-degree posses-sion of child pornography in con-nection with five computers, fourexternal hard drives and a USBthumb drive containing hundredsof images of naked underage

girls, including some that fea-tured adult men having sex withgirls as young as four, accordingto charging documents filed inKing County Superior Court.

Padgett’s estranged wife hireda locksmith to open her hus-band’s gun safe in July 2010 anddiscovered the computers,according to the documents. Sheturned the material over to KingCounty Sheriff’s Office detectivesin November 2010.

Analysis of the computers bylaw enforcement turned up thechild pornography, in addition tophotographs of men and womenhaving sex with animals.

Several pictures of Padgett andtwo underage girls especiallyconcerned investigators. In thepictures, Padgett was embracingthe girls, though Padgett hadapparently photoshopped largeadult female breasts onto them.

“While the pictures are not

criminal, they are alarming tolook at,” the charging documentsstate. “The way that Joseph isembracing the girls suggest ahigh-degree of intimacy and thathe has a sexual interest in them.”

Padgett is a former police offi-cer who was forced to resignfrom the San Jose, Calif. policedepartment after being caughtsecretly videotaping several sexpartners. According to a San JoseMercury News article he was

acquitted on bribery charges inthat case that would have senthim to prison but was foundguilty on five misdemeanorcharges.

Padgett remains in KingCounty Jail on $75,000 bail and isscheduled to be arraigned laterthis month.

Sammamish man charged in child pornography case

Calling for Kids campaign tohelp pay for the elementary sci-ence curriculum adoption.

Hard said the recent budgetcuts from the Legislature’s spe-cial session in December — aloss totaling $1 million for theIssaquah district — and the pre-dicted $3.1 million the districtcould lose in 2011-12 if state leg-islators approve Gov. ChrisGregoire’s 2011-13 budget, arenot expected to affect the cur-riculum adoptions.

How the process worksOnce the district determined

it would proceed with two cur-riculum changes, it sent surveysto parents in June 2010. Parentsanswered questions about theirchildren’s interests and abilitiesin science or language arts, andasked whether families liked thecurrent curriculum.

The district then posted thesurvey responses on the districtwebsite.

After the survey, the districtformed two committees — onefor science and another for lan-guage arts. Each committee hasone community representativefrom each of the district’s fiveareas, teachers and representa-tives serving specific studentpopulations, including special-needs students and gifted stu-dents.

The committees decided theevaluation protocols, first seeingif each curriculum met statestandards and later making surethe material was not biasedtoward one gender, if it was easyto understand, if it had onlinecomponents for both studentsand parents and if it wouldappeal to students and teachers.

The top materials theychoose will make appearancesin Issaquah district classroomsduring a field test period. Thecommittee asks teachers, stu-dents and parents to providethem feedback, seeing if thelessons were clear yet challeng-ing.

During that time, the districtwill invite the community totwo parent preview nights.

Using feedback from both thefield tests and the previewnights, the committee will lookat its resources one last time,and then make a recommenda-tion to the InstructionalMaterials Committee.

The committee — composedof community members, teach-ers and librarians — will reviewthe recommendation and makesure the committee properlycarried out its work. Parents canalso look at the recommenda-tions at the district’sAdministration Building duringa two-week period: from May 24to June 7 for high school lan-guage arts, and from June 9-23for the elementary science cur-riculum.

COMMUNITY10 • January 19, 2011 SAMMAMISH REVIEW

By Christopher Huber

Tamara Jaksic and her daugh-ters, Aleksandra, 4, and Gorna, 2,used to walk just 10 minutes toget to the old SammamishLibrary. They would check outbooks and attend the weeklystory times, she said.

And even though the newSammamish Library is nearly anhour’s walk from the Jaksics’Sammamish home, they stillwalk to it often, Tamara said.

“They have a lot of activities,”she said. “For moms, that’s a big

thing.”The Jaksics and other families

spent part of their Saturdayperusing books and using thecomputers during the newlibrary’s first birthday commemo-ration Jan. 15.

The event was low key, butthe facility, located next to CityHall, drew dozens of families andregular patrons to watch a shortplay and enjoy refreshments andthe sweeping Seattle views. In itsfirst year in the new location, theSammamish Library saw dramat-ic increase in circulation and

overall traffic, said RobbinGaebler, site manager.

The book checkout rate andvisitor gate count went up 25 to40 percent each month in 2010,compared to that month in 2009,she said. In the new library’s firstyear, 267,783 people passedthrough the doors, averaging26,778 per month. July saw30,384 patrons visit the library.

And thanks in part to the auto-mated sorting system, the librarywas able to process almost900,000 items in 2010, Gaeblersaid.

She also said most of theweekly programs have seenincreased attendance due to whatemployees said was easier accessto the facility.

“We out circulate IssaquahLibrary,” she said. “Not only dowe like being here … but I think

Almost with the stroke of mid-night they come, with theirresolved determination anddreams of washboard abs andmuscular arms.

By the end of February manyof them are gone just as quicklyas they arrived – frustrated bytheir lack of progress and dis-tracted by life’s comforts.

They’re the great, flabby hordeof January gym rats, fueled byNew Year’s resolutions that thisyear will be different – this willbe the year that they finally stick

with their fitness goals and get inshape.

But it doesn’t have to be thatway, local health center employ-ees say. With some realistic goals,a set routine and some good old-fashioned dedication, Januarynewbies will still be there –svelte and toned as ever – to seea new round of resolutioners nextyear.

tivities, Sammamish motherTamara Schiff brought her chil-dren, as she does about twotimes per week, she said.

“I love it. I love the pro-grams they do,” Schiff said. “It’simportant the kids come in. Ijust feel safe in here.”

goals in mind, they’re better offstarting small and workingupwards, said Kim Payne, direc-tor of the Sammamish YMCA.

“You need small and achiev-able goals that are specific,”Payne said. “Instead of coming inand saying, ‘I’m going to lose 100pounds,’ just try for six poundsfor the month of January … Onceyou hit one goal you can moveonto another.”

Payne said the YMCA seesabout 10 percent more newmemberships in January than inthe average month.

Though everyone’s body func-tions differently, Amber Owen,fitness director at ColumbiaAthletic Club, said one-to-twopounds a week is a reasonableweight loss goal, though “eventhat is stretching it.”

If losing weight through exer-cise has proven difficult for you

in the past, Owen suggested sim-ply focusing on attendance goals,since getting themselves in thedoor of a health club can be halfthe battle for many.

“Tell yourself, ‘I’m going to goto the gym this year,’ “ she said.“If it’s been three weeks andyou’re still going – awesome, youcan work from that.”

AccountabilityHaving a gym buddy, joining a

class or hiring a personal trainercan be key in helping peoplestick at the gym. Having some-one to keep you accountable toyour fitness goals makes it muchharder to skip days to do some-thing else.

“If you’ve got a regularappointment at 9:45, it’s some-thing you can put on a calendarthat you have to do,” Owen said.“If it’s just this thing floating inyour head that you have to do,it’s going to get pushed to theback of your mind.”

Personal trainers can costupwards of $50 an hour, but it

can be great motivation for thoseintent on seeing fitness results.Trainers will help you set goalsand are full of tips and tricks tohelp you reach them, Payne said.

“It can be intimidating at firstto walk into a gym if you’venever really been in one before,”she said. “Having somebodythere you can get to know whocan encourage you with yourgoals and work you throughthings is great.”

Sammamish resident MariaAcosta, 24, found her accountabil-ity in her sister Yolanda Acosta,27. Maria was a resolution-makerherself and started at the YMCAin January 2010. She and her sis-ter started attending a runningclass with the goal of running the13-mile Seattle Rock n’ Roll halfmarathon in June.

“It’s nice to have someonethere to hold you accountable,”she said. “If you say you’re goingto go, you have to go.”

They were successful, thoughdon’t ask them how long it took.

“I didn’t even care what my

time was – I just wanted to be fin-ished,” she said.

Habits and routinesPayne and Owen both said the

thing that separates the Januarynewbies from the life-long healthnuts is the ability to make exer-cise part of their daily routine. Itcan take many months, but gymusers often find that the thingthat had been such a chore for solong eventually starts feeling likean indispensable part of theirlives – like eating or sleeping.

“Changing behavior is thehardest part,” Payne said.“Through goal setting those smallaccomplishments turn into along-term routine.”

Maria Acosta said it took herabout 10 months.

“It wasn’t until October orNovember of last year that itbecame something that I just hadto do,” she said.

As Art Walk chairwomanMonica Rockwell waited for theSunny Hills fourth-graders toenter her makeshift gallery,excitement was in her eyes.

She was waiting to share herpassion for the arts with theeager students on the second ofthe school’s two-day Art Walkevent Jan. 11.The Sunny HillsPTA sponsorsand runs six ArtWalks through-out the schoolyear, she said,including a full-on art fair everyother year.

“The third-, fourth- and fifth-graders are really receptive whenit comes to art,” Rockwell saidbefore teacher Jane Ulrich’sfourth-graders entered the con-ference room-turned gallery.

The Jan. 10-11 Art Walk wasthe fourth of the year and, this

time, focused on perspective. Inparticular, Rockwell featured thework of M.C. Escher, and otherartists, such as Salvador Dali andIrvine Peacock.

Born in 1898 in Holland,Escher is known for combiningvarious vantage points and spe-cial effects, such as looking upand down at the same time,

according to theNational Galleryof Art. He is alsoknown for his“metamorphosis”work and hisrepresentation ofimpossiblespaces.

All Sunny Hills students got achance to learn about the art,methods and ideas behind cer-tain Escher pieces, as well as par-ticipate in themed in-class artprojects. Throughout the fall,they also studied and conductedprojects in Dada (“nonsense” art),surrealism and illusion, Rockwellsaid.

During the 20-minute Art Walksessions, Rockwell taught how agiven type of art is supposed tolook and then how artists brokerules to push the envelope in a

genre. She goes for that ‘ah ha!’moment in the students’ minds,she said.

County libraries want childrenand adults in a zone. The StudyZone.

The tutoring program nowoffers online help to students ingrades kindergarten through 12.

Children can now meet at thelibrary virtuallywith their tutors,using librarycomputers.

The yearlongprogram of in-person tutoringwill continue atall King CountyLibrary Systembranches, includ-ing Sammamish.

CindyClaypool,Sammamish teenservices librarian,said studentswho seek thehelp of volunteer tutors willdevelop study habits, get home-work done sooner and havesomeone to look over their work.

Tutors will also benefit, shesaid. High school students whovolunteer can add it to their col-lege résumés. Adults who volun-teer can connect with youths.

“It’s probably very rewarding

when you’re able to help a stu-dent,” Claypool said. “I certainlyfeel good when I help them findresources.”

Prospective tutors will be sub-jected to a background check bythe Washington State Patrol,according to the program’s web-site. Those chosen will undergo a

library-issued ori-entation.

Most tutorscan handlekindergartenthrough eighth-grade material,and people whohave an expertise,such as highschool English orchemistry, canopt to help stu-dents takingadvanced classes.

Math tends tobe the most popu-lar help sought,

Claypool said.The program will run until

June 16, and then go on hiatusuntil July 5. Then, a summer ses-sion will run until Aug. 26.

Tutors must be at least highschool juniors. Students must beat least in kindergarten.

Subjects tutors will help withinclude the state’s standardized

tests and college admission tests,like the SAT.

“We’ve got a mix,” Claypoolsaid. “Everything from a retired

gentleman to college age.”She also said the Study Zone

service, which usually runsthrough the summer, is under-

used. The Sammamish Library isworking to get the word out.

“Math is a popular subjectup here,” Claypool said. “We’restill woefully under-utilized.”

Sessions last two hours,and students can stay for 10minutes or the whole time.

Students can bring snacks,assignments and even friends,if they would like a grouptutoring session.

For the libraries it’s alsofree. The King CountyLibraries’ Foundation supportsand sponsors the program, soit does not affect the librarysystem’s operating budget.

A separate program foradult learners is also availableonline, at www.tutor.com

As a whole, theSammamish Library is one of

the most used in the county’ssystem, according to site manag-er Robbin Gaebler.

In its first year at the newlocation, the library circulationhas grown.

“Study Zone has not seen asimilar increase in us; but, Ithink like so many things, itcomes down to getting the wordout in the community.”

personal and meaningful way,”Rockwell said. “I want to makeart interesting and relevant, sowhen students have the opportu-nity to look at art, their eyes lightup and they say ‘Oooh yes! Countme in!’”

As the students listened toRockwell, they soaked in thedozen or so paintings on the wall,learning how perspective tech-niques worked in each varyingscene.

“The kids that have this avail-able get a certain kind of nourish-ment they don’t get from aca-demic study,” Rockwell said.Even though it’s a short experi-ence every month or so, “Theyremember what they’ve seenbefore.”

The youth also learn about thecultural or economic influencessurrounding a movement or aparticular artist’s work, Rockwellsaid.

“It’s interactive, informativeand it inspires them,” Ulrich saidas her fourth-graders filed out ofthe gallery. “It ties in so well withwhat we do in the classroom.”

While area school districtshave mostly de-funded arts cur-

ricula, each school’s PTA organi-zations have created their ownarts programs, which include in-class lessons from volunteer artdocents, specialty classes and artwalks. Ulrich praised Sunny HillsPTA efforts, as well as Rockwell’spassion and dedication to theprogram.

“She absolutely just pulls thekids into what she’s talkingabout,” Ulrich said.

Their program, which bringsin professional artists and artdocents four to six times peryear, teaches more than typicalarts and crafts techniques, Ulrichsaid.

“It’s through our PTA that wehave such a good art program,”she said. “Those kids were totallyengaged today.”

“I think our best event wasbeam,” said Eastlake coachJennette Fuller. “It wasn’t thehighest, score-wise, but we’veimproved on beam and it hasbeen a confidence killer in pastmeets.”

No Eastlake gymnasts finishedin the top three among the four-team competition, but Fuller saidthis meet, overall, was a confi-dence booster.

As the clock ran out in theEastlake gym, the Skylinedefense tried to make somethingwork. The Lady Spartans hadpressed hard all game and foughtfor the team’s share of turnovers.But Eastlake sent junior guardCaleigh McCabe to the line threetimes in the final 1 minute, 39seconds. She made four of sixand put the score out of reach.

It was a physical battle Jan.14, but the Lady Wolves won itwith strong rebounding, whilethe shots just wouldn’t fall forSkyline.

Eastlake beat cross-town rivalsSkyline 45-33 to improve to 5-2 inKingCo 4A competition and 10-2overall and stand in second placebehind the Issaquah Eagles. TheLady Spartans went to 4-4 inKingCo and 10-5 overall, current-ly in third place in the CrestDivision.

“This is a little surprising forus,” said Skyline coach GregBruns. “We’ve been in every sin-gle game.”

They weren’t in this one forlong. The teams went into thesecond quarter tied at 10-10. ButEastlake pulled away from there,leading by eight at halftime —the score at 24-16 — and main-taining a comfortable seven- to10-point lead throughout the sec-ond quarter.

The key for Eastlake was stay-ing focused on the plan and win-ning the battle in the paint, saidhead coach Sara Goldie. And thegirls did that.

“We stuck to the game plan,”said Goldie. “It’s a big winbecause it’s a division win.”

McCabe led scorers at halftimewith eight points. Teammate SamNaluai had six points and madefour of six free throws.

Skyline’s Haley Smith, asophomore guard, went into thehalftime break with six points,but scored only two more in thesecond half, thanks to Eastlake’sscrappy defense.

“We were a lot better in thesecond half and kicked it up,”

said Eastlake’s McCabe. Skyline also kicked it up a bit,

but missed most short shots itcould take.

“They really picked up thepress in the second half. But wefound the open spaces,” McCabesaid. “I think we just wanted itmore, and it showed on thecourt.”

In addition to beating Skylineat rebounding, Eastlake knew ithad to slow down the LadySpartan transition game, Goldiesaid.

“They have great press,” shesaid about the Spartan defense.“We needed to stop their transi-tion.”

Lacey Nicholson, Skyline’ssophomore guard, led Spartanscorers with nine points, whileSmith had eight. Averaging a dou-ble-double per game, junior postMegan Weideman was not a fac-tor against Eastlake. She finishedwith five points and, fewer than10 rebounds, Bruns said.

In addition to McCabe’s 12points, junior post KendraMorrison had 10 points for theLady Wolves. Sam Naluai finishedwith eight and junior guard AbbyCarlson scored five points.

And although Skyline didpress Eastlake and cause plentyof turnovers, it still struggled tomaintain composure and hitmuch-needed shots down thestretch. Bruns wasn’t thrilledwith his team’s defense againstEastlake.

“The defensive effort wasn’tthere,” he said.

Eastlake boys surpriseOn the boy’s side, Eastlake

upset Skyline 54-50 to improve to2-5 in league play and 5-8 overall.

Skyline led for the entire firsthalf and took a 32-28 lead intohalftime. But the Wolves got hotin the third quarter, outscoringthe Spartans 19-10 to turn thetables.

Eastlake standout BrandonLester scored a game-high 21points and Skyline’s LucasShannon led his team with 18points. For Eastlake, ConnerIraola and Nick Kassuba each hadeight points. Skyline’s Will Parkerand Kasen Williams finished with

Ryan Fleisher. “Olivia is always astandout. But even she’s tryingnew things.”

Goree led the Lady Eagleswith a first-place finish in thefloor competition (9.8 points).She tied for fourth place in thebeam event after scoring a 9.05.She and Bowers both scored an8.3 in the bars routine and tiedfor fourth place.

In the vault competition,Bowers, who was freshly recov-ered from an injury, placed third,finishing with a score of 9.2.

She’s coming out with somegreat skills,” Fleisher said.

Overall, Fleisher said she washappy with Issaquah’s perfor-mance against the typically toughBothell team. The Lady Eagleshave always done well on thefloor exercise and are growing inthe beam competition.

“We’re just continuing tobuild,” said Fleisher. “I feel likethe things we tried worked out.But still lots of room for improve-ment.”

Up next, Eastlake competes atRoosevelt at 7 p.m. Jan. 20.
