GO FLY A KITE!
By Kevin Houghton
Geometry students in Kevin Houghton’s class at Issaquah High School recently took advantage of sunny weather to study polygons in an exciting way — by building kites out of tissue paper, straws and ribbon. ‘Lots of rich math in there!’ Houghton said. With almost no wind, the students had to really run, but the kites flew (to, ahem, the teacher’s amazement).
P olice & F ire Threats A May 13 report stated that a customer’s son made open threats to throw a rock through the window of a business in the 700 block of Northwest Gilman Boulevard and to “hunt you down.” He was mad about a business issue between his mom and the store. The reporting person notified corporate security and asked that the company advise police.
Awfully late Police were dispatched to a suspicious call May 13 that a woman was hearing noises, like someone upstairs was getting robbed and people moving stuff, in the 900 block of 10th Place Northeast. She thought it was too late for people to be moving. On investigation, people were actually moving.
Nice try, Phil A report was made May 15 stating that while a woman was at work, a 5-feet 1-inch, 90-pound white female with blond hair came into a store in the 100 block of West Sunset Way and accused her of owing “Phil” money. The reporting person told the responding officer that she does not know Phil and owes money to no one.
First Avenue hit Four separate burglary reports were made May 18 in the 200 block of First Avenue Northeast from 8-9 a.m. Among the stolen items were GPS devices, a stolen pocketbook and a flashlight. Another vehicle was broken into in the 300 block of First Avenue Northeast an hour later, and a computer, backpack and debit card, with a total value of $744, was stolen from a 2010 Subaru.
Vehicle recovered Sammamish police located a possible stolen vehicle parked in the parking lot just south of McDonald’s
Pesticide free-yards sought King County and Washington Toxics Coalition are offering Pesticide Free Zone ladybug signs free to families gardening without pesticides. Families can take a pledge and receive a sign to recognize their efforts. The round sign has a ladybug on it and proclaims the lawn as a “pesticide free zone.” Sign the pledge to get your yard sign at http://bit.ly/15nBYo5. More than 800 public places in King County are pesticide free. “Pesticide free” means that no chemical pest controls are used. However, the coalition is allowing the use of products that are allowed in organic agriculture, in the hopes of encouraging companies to develop safer products.
