Whether it’s as small as a bathroom renovation or a complete reconstruction
of a basement, Sammamish resident Kassi Clark says she always has one goal — to make a room sparkle.
“I’m just intrigued by all di� erent styles of design and I love the opportunity to design to the di� erent extremes,” she said.
Clark was one of two Sammamish residents to be recognized as a top Northwest interior designer last week during the Northwest Design Awards in Seattle. She claimed � rst place for Best Individual Room - Traditional, beating out hundreds of other entries from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.
� e trophy was gratifying for Clark, who just � ve years ago decided to end her 18-year career as a marketing consultant for a wireless company and follow her dream.
“It was time to pursue my passion,” she said.Her new career has progressed quickly as
she’s developed a clientele on the Plateau and
beyond. � e living room project she won her award for was done in the Magnolia neighbor-hood in Seattle and she’s currently working on a project in Lynden.
Clark believes her personal style and experi-ence from the corporate world have largely helped her gain a name, but one other factor — the economy — has also impacted her new industry.
“I’m � nding that because people are stay-
ing in their home instead of buying a new home, that there’s more demand for updating their current homes,” she said. “People are relearning to love their current home.”
Make no mistake, not just anyone can step into the world of interior design and � nd suc-cess.

Two women, both active with Issaquah schools, are � nalists for an open seat on the Issaquah School Board.
Lisa Callan and Alison Meryweather will undergo a second round of interviews by school board members March 20 to � ll the seat vacated by Chad Magendanz, who resigned when he was elected to the state House of Represen-tatives.
Callan and Meryweather were interviewed by the board March 6, along with Margo Campbell, Justin Park and Justin Rolfe.
Meryweather, a 25-year resi-dent of Issaquah who is a self-described “education policy wonk,” said the schools need to challenge the students, look at more than raw numbers and look at each school individu-ally to see where its strengths are. She said the district is do-ing a good job of maximizing its investments.
Passing the next levy and enhancing the experience of all students were on her list of priorities.
Callan, who has a second-grader in the district, said a great school needs community support, a safe environment and the ability to recognize current educational trends.
� e achievement gap be-tween students was a hot topic.
Callan said it’s necessary to pinpoint what is needed in the community to take care of hunger and housing. She added that the achievement gap hasn’t been closed because it’s a social issue.
“We’re good at education, but social structures are out of our control,” Callan said.

It’s the time of year again to celebrate community volunteers atop the Plateau. The 12th annual SAMMI Award celebra-tion begins at 6 p.m., tonight, March 15 at Eastridge Church.
Wendy Boglioli and John Sanders will cohost the event, which is free and open to the public.
Forty residents will all be recognized for their contributions and volunteerism in Sammamish. This is the first time the SAMMI Awards will not be competition-based event, where just a few select winners were recognized.
“We’ve had a lot of feedback over the years on the competition-based program which ends up only recognizing a small number of community volunteers each year so the Board of Directors is moving in a new direction to recognize a greater number of volunteers, while still includ-ing a ‘surprise’ portion to the event,” said Kristina Williams, executive director of the SAMMI Awards Foundation.
The following individuals will be hon-ored as 2013 SAMMI recipients:
Circle of Service: Lynn Banki, Cyn Baumert, Nicky Beedle, Jane Dulski, Susan Evans, Chris Gentes, Mahbubul Islam, Tom Kent-Dobias, Sandy Marshall, Daphne Robinson, Sally Rusk, Bruce Salmon, Dave Sanford, Harry Shedd, Mary Trask, Steve VanWambeck and Zoe Vierling-Coulter.
Community Spirit: Sally Bastine, Sarah Bundy, Larry Crandall, Mayten (May) Gross & Karin House, David Hall, Nolen Holcomb, Jill Loveland, Bob Trask, Tom Wage and Marla Zylstra.
Courage: Pam Austin (Posthumous), Kira Hanson and Jenean Hatlelid.
Youth Spirit: Kaylee Hansen, Teddy Hung, Arjun Kumar, Amanda Levenson, Kelsey Nyce, Jerome Siangco, Adithti Ad-depalli, Lauren Christian, Tinuola Dada, Prabha Dublish, Kaylee Nyce, Jerome Siangco.

SAMMI Awards celebration to honor 40 volunteers tonight

Attendees are encouraged to bring a poem of their own to share.
Reservations are not required and attendance is free and open to all ages.
The poetry reading supports the Sammamish Arts Com-mission’s 10th anniversary theme, “Telling the Story,” and is one of several events planned in Sammamish this spring.
Flenniken is the 2012-2014 Washington State Poet Laure-ate. Her first book, “Famous,” won the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry and was named a Notable Book by the American Library Association and a finalist for the Washing-ton State Book Award.
Welch, a Sammamish resident, is first vice president of the Haiku Society of America, a board member of both the Washington Poets Association (for which he has been editor of Cascade) and the Redmond Association of Spokenword (for which he serves as reading series curator).

Volunteers needed for levy committee
With current school levies expiring next year, the Issaquah School District is looking for volunteers from the community to assist in planning a levy renewal measure.
The committee will work through April and May to develop a recommendation to the superintendent, who will then present a recommendation to the board for consider-ation and action in June.
Those interested should email [email protected].
LWSD earns 100 percent efficiency for transportation
The Lake Washington School District, which includes half of Sammamish, re-cently earned 100 percent transportation efficiency rating from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Transportation operations were evalu-ated based on the number of students transported between home and school and the location of each school bus stop and related destinations.
The study showed the Lake Wash-ington School District spends less per student on transportation than the eight
other districts in the state with more than 20,000 students except for Kent School District.
Lake Washington spent $282.73 per student in 2010-11 (the latest year for which comparable data is available) compared to the $396.80 average for large districts. Kent spent $276.91 per pupil. Lake Washington’s expenditures also compare favorably with smaller school
districts nearby, which range from the $274.14 per student spent by Bellevue to $411.96 by Issaquah.

As � e Reporter was going to press Wednesday night, it appeared that a bill in the Legislature to require background checks for all gun sales had
been shot down in the House. Yes, we used that word intentionally.
We mourn the bill’s death.� e bill would have required those buying guns at
gun shows to undergo a background check. � at’s noth-ing di� erent than what people who buy guns at gun shops have to do now.
� e goal, obviously, is to make sure that people who shouldn’t have guns, don’t get them.
People such as convicted felons.
People such as those with a serious mental illness.What’s so wrong with that?Some gun rights activists feared such a bill would
make it easier for the government to con� scate guns from law-abiding citizens. Anything is “possible,” but really...?
We do agree with gun rights proponents that the bill wouldn’t, of itself, end gun violence in our country. Af-ter all, Adam Lanza, the man who killed 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., last December, got the guns he used from his mother, who had them legally. He killed her, too, of course.
But background checks are there for a reason. Making it harder for felons or unstable people to get their hands on guns should be something we all favor.
Apparently, we don’t.

About a week ago a stark six-minute video on mash-able went viral. Within several days it’d registered millions of views. But unlike most viral sensations,
which feature some variation of cats, lip-syncing or the latest dance craze, this one spotlighted a weightier cause: income inequality in the United States.
Social media sites quickly dubbed it the new Kony 2012. Its power lies in its dramatic graphics, so if you haven’t seen it, check it out for yourself at www.mashable.com/2013/03/02/wealth-inequality.
“Americans don’t understand the extent of disparity in the U.S., and that
[we] desire a more equitable society,” said Dan Ariely, one of two who conducted the study that inspired this graphic.
� e video opens by outlining American’s perceptions of current income gaps, then moves on to display the actual income inequality rampant in society, demonstrating that the country’s wealthiest don’t even register on the graph.
I recently began reading journalist Chrystia Freeland’s book, “Plutocrats: � e Rise of the New Global Super Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else.” I won’t spoil the ending
for you (if the title doesn’t already accomplish that), but it’s full of anecdotes about cutthroat business tactics, and a self-entitled hyper-wealthy upper class with zero social responsibilities.
Income inequality is concerning precisely because it’s so entrenched, and though it’s not a new topic of conversa-tion, its o� en only shallowly understood by Americans. What’s eye-opening about this surprising viral hit is the huge discrepancy between American ideals of wealth distribution and actual distribution. � at disconnect, I suspect, is partly why there isn’t more societal outrage.
Critics were quick to point out the video’s � aws and worry aloud that it promoted socialism, but the value of this video is that it attaches words and pictures to a phenomenon that has grown too big and abstract to fully understand.
� e question now, is how we turn these strong visuals and anecdotes into action? Occupy Wall Street made the movement catchy, now, presented with the facts, we have no excuse but to act.

MERYWEATHER BEST FOR SCHOOL BOARD
I have spent the last 10 years sup-porting our children in our schools in our Issaquah community. During that time, I have had the honor of working with Alison Meryweather, who is run-ning for the open seat on the Issaquah School Board.
Alison is one of those individu-als who I think has served on every possible educational committee or organization in the Issaquah School
District. She has done this because she has a passion for children and their education.
When you think of Alison, you think of someone who loves to sup-port our children and our schools, and when she gives her time and energy, she does it with joy.
� e school board has narrowed the choice to two candidates. When you compare the two candidates, Alison by far has the more experience in the education world.
She has been involved in the PTA of the schools her children have and do attend, and also has been very involved at the PTA council level. She
has worked tirelessly on the Volunteer for Issaquah Schools, which supports the passage of our school levies and bonds and is instrumental in the fundraising for the Issaquah Schools Foundation. Not only has she volun-teered her time in our community, but has spent a great deal of time in Olympia encouraging our legislators to support education.
When you think of Alison Mery-weather, you think of education. Please encourage our school board members to have Alison Meryweather be the next Issaquah School District board member.

Saturday’s Youth Jobs Skills Fair at Issaquah High School gave middle and high-school students plenty of career op-tions to think about, and the importance of making a good � rst impression, networking and � nding internships.
About 190 students signed up to meet experts in a variety of � elds at the event organized by the Issaquah Community Network.
Matt Bott, CEO of the Issaquah Chamber of Com-merce, told students it only takes an employer eight seconds to size them up. In response, students thought it was important to be hon-est, utilize good social skills, be willing to compromise, be interactive and open minded. While Bott agreed, he added that they should smile, greet the potential employer with a � rm handshake, make eye contact and to be professionally dressed and groomed.
Nate Perea, also with the Is-saquah Chamber, told students
about the importance of net-working. IHS junior Lydia Mull already networked, though she may not have known it at the time. Her employer last sum-mer, and also this summer, is an acquaintance of her mother.
Je� Hart, a chef at Seattle’s Hard Rock Cafe, found an eager audience in Sam Hagen, a freshman at IHS; Morgan Frame, a sophomore at Lib-
erty High School; and Maddie Ryan, a sophomore at Skyline High School. All cook at home, they told him, and were inter-ested in culinary arts.
Hart told them his career path – starting as a dishwasher and working his way up. He eventually earned a degree from the Culinary Institute of America in New York.
Sam Hagen’s older brother,
Alex, a junior at IHS said it didn’t surprise him that his brother was at the culinary arts conversation, “Since he watches the Food Network all the time.”
Alex Hagen was talking with Issaquah City Councilmember Fred Butler, because he was “interested in being a writer, or the military, or a doctor.” Butler, a veteran, pointed out that a military career could also lead to medical school.
Gordy Fields, who has worked as a nurse at Swedish Hospital for most of his career, told students that nurses are in high demand, but that most medical o� ces or hospitals want experienced nurses. � at puts those fresh out of school at a disadvantage, he said.
Fields said more medical groups should be willing to train new nurses, noting that he was taken under another nurse’s wing when he was start-ing out. Fields also suggested volunteering at a hospital.
He urged Vidhi Singh from Skyline High to contact hospi-tal volunteer coordinators since she wants to be a cardiovascu-lar surgeon.

wide variety of vendors and contractors, interior designers also must work in perfect harmony with the client.
“It’s a collaborative process along the way,” Clark said. “It’s having that space plan envisioned first, then finding an in-
spiration to design around whether it’s a piece of fabric, a piece of tile or a color.”
Clark isn’t the only local interior designer making a name for herself in the Northwest.
Kara Bowman, who works for Macpherson Construction & Design in Sammamish, brought home a second-place fin-ish from the Northwest Design Awards in Best Individual Room - Con-temporary.
She won for her work on what she called an “organic contemporary home” her company built on Pine Lake. This was her first entry in the Northwest Design Awards and an end result she admits was a great surprise.
“I just love that every-thing is always changing,” said Bowman, who has
always had a passion for design. “Sometimes I’m at my office drawing and sometimes I’m out in the field at a showroom. It’s never the same thing, it’s a new project every time.”
There were 14 categories in the Northwest Design Awards, which recognized the top two in each class. Sammamish was the only city other than Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. to have multiple winners.

When reviewing DUI averages over the last three years, Sammamish police Chief Nate Elledge immediately focused on one statistic.
Of the approximate 50 DUI arrests made per year, 20 drivers, or 40 percent, were under the age of 21. Many of those were under 18.
“We’ve got a lot of kids up here on the Plateau and I think the majority of them are excellent, but this is a number that was pretty alarming to us,” Elledge said.
Reaching out to surrounding commu-nities, Elledge realized the problem was unique to Sammamish. He said cities like Issaquah and Redmond average 10-12 percent of their DUI drivers being under the age of 21. That leaves Sammamish 30 percent higher than its neighbors.
“It’s a bedroom community if you want to call it that, and we’ve got a lot of families here and a lot of teenagers,” Elledge said. “We’ve got three high schools here right on the main drag and we’ve got a lot of teenagers in that age group who might be experimenting.”
In an effort to solve the issue, the Samma-mish Police Department organized mem-bers from all corners of the community to form a Youth Impaired Driving Initiative.
The last two months members of Rotary, school districts, driving schools, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, parents, insurance reps, city officials and several high school students themselves have met to find an
answer. The group gathered once a month, with the next meeting, the first public event, scheduled at the end of March.
“It’s really a community based problem, it’s not just a police problem,” Elledge said. “When we’re dealing with any issue, en-forcement’s not the only option, especially when you’re looking at crime prevention.”
Sgt. Jessica Sullivan noted 50 percent of the DUIs over the last three years were alcohol related. The other half involved prescription drugs or other narcotics.
“The attitudes toward drugs and alcohol and what kids admit to trying are pretty startling,” she said.
Sullivan said the absence of the DARE program has definitely hurt students as nothing has replaced it.
Elledge said he hopes to have a plan in place before graduation season when the risks of DUI accidents become even higher.
“We’ve got to take some action on this so we can prevent someone from getting hurt or seriously injured,” he said.
The next Youth Impaired Driving Initia-tive meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 27 in the Sammamish City Council chambers.
“We’ve had a pretty good discussion now twice on what can we do and what is the potential cause of this and now it’s time to put up some action steps,” Elledge said.

Callan has volunteered with the Planning and Distribution Board and the Health and Human Services Agency panel for United Way of King County.
Meryweather said the district needs to change the delivery model to un-derachieving students, and look at ways to give them intensive support.
Both were asked what the district should do if it gets additional money as a result of the McCleary lawsuit, in which a judge ruled that the state is not adequately funding public education.
Callan said she would put it to work to close the achievement gap, increase nutrition access and spend money on labs and the arts.
Meryweather said she would want to see a community conversation about where to invest those dollars. She would
like to see seven-period school days at the high schools and more invest-ment in teachers.
“Our kids need to have more electives to explore their so� skills,” Mery-weather said.
Callan is on the PTSA at her son’s school, and Meryweather is active with the Issaquah Schools Foundation, neither which are seen as a con� ict of interest if either woman were to become a member of the board.
Both said they would resign those positions if there was a perceived con� ict.
Whoever is chosen will have to run for re-election in November if she wants to stay on the board. Meryweather has said she will de� nitely run, whether she is chosen or not.
Callan said if selected she would run in the fall, and probably will anyway.

� e best solution for constant complaining from your children this summer is to keep them busy. Here are a few suggestions for some enjoyable summer outings that they won’t soon forget.
Get them moving! � ere’s nothing better than a day of climbing up and down, sliding, and running around for working o� excess energy.
• Forest adventure course: enjoy some fresh air and play games in the treetops. � is challenging experience will be both
unique and stimulating.• Water park: a perfect summer outing.
Water parks are good for hours of pleasure for the entire family.
• Climbing: many centers off er introductory indoor climbing courses for children. Experienced professionals are there to supervise, so parents don’t need to worry about their kids’ safety.
Give them some excitement! Kids love activities that give them an adrenaline rush.
• Amusement parks: a classic summer
activity. A day trying out all the rides is great fun for children of all ages.
• Go-karting: many centers welcome families on exciting circuits that are sometimes open in the evening. Th is is a great activity for thrill seekers.
Discover the kingdom of animals! Nature and animals are sure to fascinate any child.
• Zoo: the discovery and observation of exotic animals is like going on safari with your children. Many zoos o� er educational
and interactive activities that will appeal to all ages.
• Riding center: even little kids can discover the pleasures of horse riding. A safe excursion with an experienced guide could be the start of a lifelong passion.
Don’t forget about throwing some relaxation into the mix: an outing to the movies, the drive-in, a museum, or a round of mini-golf are great for low-energy days. Even the most active of children need a bit of rest!

� e man started crying and told o� cers, “� is is going to be my � � h DUI.” He said he was stupid and shouldn’t have been messing with his phone while driving be-cause that’s what led him to swerve.
� e man was cooperative until he reached Harborview to get his blood tested. He allegedly heard the word “felony” and started making physical threats to medical sta� and o� cers. O� cers later discovered he didn’t have the maximum number of DUIs required to charge a felony.
DRUNK PASSENGERS Police arrested a 34-year-old Samma-
mish woman and a 32-year-old Redmond woman March 9 a� er they interfered with a DUI investigation in the 700 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway.
� e women, both passengers in the car, refused to get back in the vehicle at the o� cer’s request. � e suspects were eventu-ally arrested for obstruction a� er making contact with the o� cer. One of the women pleaded to o� cers saying, “I will do any-thing, I will pay you money.”
SUSPICIOUS MENA Sammamish woman contacted police
March 6 to report a group of six suspicious men walking around her neighborhood. She said the men appeared older than most solicitors and that they were in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
� e caller was concerned about recent break-ins in the 2100 block of 223rd Place Northeast and was concerned they might be casing homes.
GRANDPARENT SCAMA 76-year-old Sammamish woman called
police March 5 to report she was a victim of a telephone scam.

DANGEROUS GAMEPolice responded to a call of juveniles
pushing each other into the street March 1 near a bus stop on Issaquah Pine Lake Road Southeast and Issaquah Fall City Road Southeast.
Passing motorists were concerned some-one would get hurt. Police were unable to locate the kids when they arrived.
EGGINGAn Issaquah resident saw four juveniles
run past his home March 1 and throw an egg at his front door. � e victim saw the kids get in an unknown vehicle and leave the 1600 block of 30th Avenue Northeast.
LOOSE DIRTA dump truck reportedly lost dirt out of

March 6 reporting that a strange male came to his door asking his juvenile daughter for money.
� e subject told the girl he saw her parents leave. � e caller was concerned because his home is well o� the roadway on 218th Avenue Northeast.
KNOCK & RUNAn Issaquah woman called police Feb. 15
to report numerous juveniles ringing door-bells and running away in the 1900 block of 15th Avenue Northeast. No suspects were found.
The BlotterPolice reports from Issaquah and SammamishA female suspect is on the run a� er
attempting to rob an Issaquah AM/PM convenience store.
Police say the female suspect entered the store in the 1400 block of Northwest Sammamish Road and displayed what ap-peared to be a handgun, demanding that the clerk give her money.
A� er a struggle, an employee disarmed the woman, who then pulled a knife on the clerk. Again, the employee disarmed the woman, who then � ed on foot. � e gun was a starter’s pistol, according to Is-saquah Police Commander Stan Conrad.
� e woman is described as a white female, about 5-feet, 5-inches tall, with a medium build and possible black hair.
“We don’t recommend people get in a physical confrontation in an armed robbery,” Conrad said. “We’re just glad nobody was hurt.”
Police believe the suspect may have le� in a car, but don’t have a description of a vehicle. A check of the area by o� cers and a police canine team were unsuccessful.
Any information regarding the crime can be directed to the Issaquah Police Department at 425-837-3200.

Sammamish and King County Sheri� ’s O� ce units broke up a burglary in pro-cess, shortly a� er noon on March 6, in the 2700 block of 226th Place Northeast.
� e � rst o� cer on scene con� rmed a burglary had occurred and saw the suspect � ee from the house. A K-9 unit responded and tracked the suspect a short distance to where he likely had a vehicle parked. � e suspect was only described as a white male wearing a baseball cap and a gray sweatshirt. He was not caught.
Several area schools, including Mar-garet Mead Elementary and Inglewood Middle School, were locked down. Police credit an alert neighbor who contacted 911 a� er seeing the suspect ring his neighbor’s doorbell, then walk around to the rear of the home.
“� is is a great example of the Block Watch concept in action,” police spokes-person Jessica Sullivan said. “Neighbors looking out for each other is a powerful way to reduce or eliminate crime.”

� e Spring season got underway for preps throughout the area this week, and a number of in-dividuals and teams are a� er conference, district and state championships.
� e Reporter takes a look at some of the biggest ques-
tions facing them this season.
Which arms helpEagles reload?
Issaquah lost nine seniors o� last year’s team, including the mound trifecta of Ethan Kalin, Brandon Ma-hovlich and Andrew Kemmerer, and coach Rob Reese will look to a nucleus including Blake Jones, Justin Vernia, Ryan Guiberson and Derek Chap-man among others to solidify a group that hopes to improve upon last year’s Regional playo� � nish.
A senior-laden group helped the Eagles erase the memories of a 2011 that saw the program’s � rst sub-.500 year in more than a decade and get back to the postseason, including an appearance in the title game of the 4A KingCo tournament.
“� at is your goal every year, to get to state and have a chance to win it,” Reese said. “� is group knows exactly what it took to get there.”
Along with helping anchor the rotation, Kalin led the team in RBI, at bats and base hits. Kemmerer was the team’s second leading run producer with 13 RBI and Reese said as is the case every year, a number of players will need to � ll the void and grow into greater roles.
“Every year we lose some talent,” Reese said. “Brandon and Ethan had to step into those roles from the year before. How you step up is what deter-mines your success.”
Issaquah opened the season with a 4-0 win over Kentridge on Monday, as Vernia got the start and worked four scoreless innings.
Can Sammamish prep claim state golf crown?
Eastlake’s Li Wang was the runner-up in the 4A boys tournament last year, � nishing only two strokes o� the lead, and Skyline’s Brian Mogg wasn’t far behind in a tie for third.
Wang will have one � nal shot at a title as a senior and teammate Spencer Weiss, who ended in a tie for sixth at state in 2012, will also be a top con-tender for the state’s top prize.
What do Crusaders do for an encore?
� e 2012 season was one that won’t soon be forgotten at Eastside Catholic, unless the 2013 team has its way.
Coach Kyle Larson led the program to its � rst ever 3A state title game appearance last year in his � rst season at the helm. EC showed a � are for the dramatic down the stretch and brought the would-be game winning run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning before falling 2-1 to Kamiakin in the championship game.
A back-to-back with conference power O’Dea, which the Crusaders unseated as Metro League champions last year, will likely loom large for conference tournament seeding in the season’s � nal week.
Who makes their name at Star Track?
A handful of last year’s stars-Drew Matthews (Skyline, University of Kan-sas), Ryan Lewis (Eastlake, University of Pittsburgh), Gino Bresolin (East-lake, UTEP), Eva Perry (Issaquah, University of Washington)-are gone a� er stellar performances in 2012.
But the cupboard is far from bare. Issaquah returns three-quarters of
its 800 and 1,600 meter relay teams, which both � nished as the runner-up at the 4A state meet last year, losing only Perry from that group. Gabrielle Gevers made the � eld in the 100 and 200 last year at state and will be a� er the top prize in 4A this time around.
Five questions for spring

Daniel Brady (Eastlake), Alex Daugherty (Skyline) and Mack Wieburg should also be in the hunt for conference, district and state championships after gaining valuable experience in 2012.
Does the state lacrosse title head down I-90?
Eastside Catholic made the first championship game ap-pearance in program history in 2012 before falling to Bel-levue in the title game, and three of the four prep squads in Issaquah-Sammamish made the 12 team state tournament.
Issaquah went unbeaten before dropping a heartbreaker to King’s Way in the quarterfinals, and Skyline also made the state tournament before also losing to King’s Way.
Eastlake also gets a boost in 2013 with the addition of Washington Stealth player Chris O’Dougherty as the head coach and the Wolves began the season with a 17-11 win over Bothell-Inglemoor on Tuesday.
