April 27, 2010
Coaches Bettina Gehle and Bud Peterson were both a bit nervous as the Skyline and Eastlake girls tennis match came down to the No. 1 doubles competition April 22.
The other six matches had finished by about 5:30 p.m. and the contest, held at the Skyline tennis courts, was tied at three apiece.
Skyline doubles pair Molly Knutson and Alyson Opitz faced Eastlake’s Sara Marien and Tasnim Klessih. They had come back from a 6-0 first-set loss to win a tiebreaker in the second and it came down to a drawn-out third set to determine the winner.

Kokanee salmon get a new chance
April 26, 2010
Back when Wally Pereyra was a fisheries biologist, his first project was rehabbing trout in a stream in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
By the time he moved to his current farmland on the Sammamish Plateau in 1973, he said he was “imprinted with stream ecology.”
“The stream is a major part of the farm that I moved into,” Pereyra said. “The kokanee were a part of the landscape in the fall.”
