YouTube video, incident leads to division in KALL community

Dueling petitions circulate in support, against KALL president

BY CARRIE WOOD AND MATT PHELPS Kirkland Reporter

An incident at a Kirkland American Little League (KALL) game, resulting in a petition to remove the head of the league, is dividing the Kirkland baseball community.

KALL President John Rudolph said that the resulting YouTube video, which has well over 1,600 views, is taken out of context. But supporters of the petition say that Rudolph’s negative actions go far beyond the incident.

The video, posted by an unknown spectator, shows

Rudolph losing his temper with a private coach, who is sitting in the stands at Everest Park. Rudolph is seen calmly talking to the coach and asking him to leave. But the coach ignores Rudolph and about nine seconds into the video the KALL president explodes, yelling at the man to leave. The coach’s wife then gets in Rudolph’s face for yelling at her husband.

The couple eventually leaves without further incident.

“That video doesn’t even start until well after that incident began,” said Rudolph.

The incident occurred during a little league playoff game on June 8. The private

coach was allegedly coaching the players from the stands, talking with them through the fence and interrupting the game, according to the umpire’s incident report. Umpires had to warn the coach several times to not coach from the stands and threatened to eject the coach, the report continues. The coach allegedly reacted by telling Rudolph to call his lawyer, said Rudolph. It is against KALL rules for any spectator to coach from the stands.

But the coach persisted and KALL umpiring chief and 20year veteran Ron Kelly called Rudolph down to the park to [ more KALL page 3 ]

The Eastside Firefighter Pipes & Drums, which is made up of members across the Eastside, will perform on July 4 in Bellevue. CONTRIBUTED

If you thrill to the sound of bagpipes, you’re in luck.

The Eastside Firefighter Pipes & Drums will be performing on the Fourth of July at Bellevue Square and a yet-to-be decided location in Kirkland.

The band last performed locally on St. Patrick’s Day,

at Paddy Coynes and Wilde Rover in Kirkland during their pub-crawl fund raiser.

EFPD is a registered nonprofit and was founded in 2009 by Capt. Don Turner and Jon Parkinson to resurrect the firefighter traditions of bagpipe bands.

Historically, firefighter pipe bands were formed to play at fire department functions, including memorial services

Starts today!

for fallen members.

Currently, EFPD has nine “kilted” or active bagpipers and a section of drummers, five of whom are on snares, three on tenors, and two on bass.

Kyle Wailor, 35, is one of the tenor drummers and has been with the band since its inception. As a firefighter, his department serves Issaquah, Sammamish, North Bend and Carnation.

Though he did not have any prior musical experience, Wailor chose to become part of the band because he enjoyed the traditions of firefighter pipe bands. Eventually, he achieved a “kilted” level of playing.

“At first, I wanted to learn the bagpipes, but then I found out I had no musical ability,” Wailor said with a laugh. “It is an extremely technical instrument that would have taken me forever to learn. Learning to play music is like learning a foreign language. Drumming ended up seeming like a good fit for me.”

According to Wailor, the band had humble beginnings and grew very slowly.

Despite being the newest band on the scene, it was welcomed into the large Pacific Northwest firefighter band community, which includes Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Eventually, the band began traveling to the national meet-up for firefighter bands across the country. There, firefighters work to streamline the music that is played by the bands while remembering their fallen friends.

“Wherever the memorial is, we go,” said Marc Hallen.

“We just form one big band and put on the event.”

Hallen, 46, has been with Kirkland’s Fire Department for seven years. When he first joined EFPD in February, he served as one of the band’s pipers.

“Getting your muscle memory to play the pipes is probably the most difficult part,” Hallen said. For him, learning the music was also challenging because of the sheer amount pipers had to memorize.

However, after a back injury made it painful for him to play the bagpipes, he picked up the tenor drum last December. As a tenor drummer, one of Hallen’s tasks is to learn flourishes, which, in his words, creates “the flash and visual art of the band” by twirling drumsticks between beats.

Colleen Salmi, 22, works as EFPD’s private drumming instructor.

“I thought that they were a great group of guys who were really motivated and interested in learning a completely different type of instrument,” she said.

Salmi herself has quite a background in music.

A recent graduate of the University of Washington, she minored in music while teaching the Northwest Junior Pipe Band and driving between Seattle and Portland to practice with her own band, Portland Metro Pipe Band. She has been teaching EFPD for about a year.

“The firefighters all enjoy socializing and having fun but are also very hard working. I have yet to meet one that doesn’t put their body and soul into what they are doing,” she said.

Band members are not paid to participate in the pipe and drum core and joining is voluntary. EFPD members are required to purchase their own instruments and performance uniforms, which can run over $2,500 alone. The group is funded entirely by private donations and also helps support fire departmentrelated charities like the Northwest Burn Foundation.

handle the situation.

“I was in the middle of dinner with my family,” said Rudolph. “The video doesn’t show that we had to clear the field to take care of this issue and starts about 10 to 12 minutes into this.”

Kelly declined to comment on the incident and petition, only to say that the KALL Board was investigating the matter.

Rudolph said the private coach was warned several times during the past two years to not coach from the stands. “I don’t think he is a bad person,” said Rudolph.

“He just doesn’t follow the rules.”

Rudolph said he also coaches football and his aggressive side got the best of him. “I had to ask him two or three times and threaten to call the police,” said Rudolph.

“As bad as it makes me look, we can’t have people interrupting games.”

Rudolph said that the man does work with the coach of one of the teams outside of KALL in a private coaching business and many of the players on the team use the coaches outside of KALL events. The coach did not return the Reporter’s request for comment.

Rudolph said he sent a letter of apology to both teams for his outburst and only received a response from the

team not affiliated with the private coach.

Following an internal investigation that KALL conducted, the 26-member board unanimously decided through an anonymous survey to support Rudolph.

“We have conducted an independent, anonymous survey of all board members seeking whether they support Rudolph as president,” said Seth Andersson, vice president of operations for KALL who led the three-person committee that conducted the investigation. “We had 100 percent responses from board members who said yes.”

Andersson said the committee also did some informal interviews, looked at the umpires’ incident report and came up with a set of recommendations for KALL if an incident like this should happen again.

Some of those suggestions include that if a field has to be cleared for any reason during a game, that the umpire will let all spectators know the reason why. Also, if a spectator refuses to leave after a team manager and board member asks the person to leave, local authorities will be contacted.

The investigation also noted that Rudolph should not have raised his voice during the incident.

For many, it is not the

incident, but how Rudolph responded in yelling at the private coach.

Former KALL Board member Steve Wilkes, who was not at the park to witness the incident but watched the video, said he feels “strongly that John didn’t have the right to throw someone out of a public park. I think anybody in that position must maintain their composure.”

He added that Rudolph shouldn’t have handled the situation in the manner he did. “You don’t want kids to emulate that behavior.”

Because of the video, many in the community have anonymously voiced their concerns about Rudolph – which they say goes beyond the recent park incident – and have started a petition to have him removed from the KALL Board. That petition has reached more than 60 signatures, all signed as “anonymous.”

But Rudolph’s supporters have also launched a second online petition showing their support for the president.

That petition has garnered 80 signatures of supporters, most of whom have identified themselves.

Changing the face of KALL Rudolph became KALL president in late 2009, on the heels of an incident

involving a KALL mom who was charged with assault for pushing a player from another team during an argument. The incident received national attention.

Rudolph told the Reporter in a December 2009 story that the 1,400-member league hoped to distance itself away from such incidents.

“We want to promote life skills, having fun and parent interaction,” he said. “We don’t want things like that to happen again. Little League is about having fun and a great experience.”

However, the petition against Rudolph states that he should be removed for “behavior unbecoming of a league officer, lack of properly executing the duties of president and to prevent any further degradation of our league.” It lists 17 issues with Rudolph, including favoritism, concerns about the use of league finances and the breaking of many KALL rules, among other things.

Rudolph said that all the accusations in the petition are “100 percent untrue.”

Petitioners against the president have even gone to the extent of sending emails to City of Kirkland staff and council members. Rudolph said that he has even received a call from the league’s national office to discuss the matter. But the only body that can remove Rudolph is the

KALL Board.

“I went to them and told them I would step down,” said Rudolph. “I am trying to take the high road here. But they said that they are 100 percent behind me … I am a big boy and a big target and I can take it. But my family does not need this. This stuff happens when people get upset because their kid doesn’t make a team.”

Along with the 80 supporters who signed the petition, Rudolph also has other backers. Kirkland resident Jack Showater, who has known Rudolph for 20 years, says Rudolph coached his kids in various sports. Though he wasn’t at Everest Park during the incident, he watched the video.

“I think John lost his temper and it was a 60-second glimpse into a guy who’s donated the last 8 to 10 years of his life to Kirkland sports and kids,” said Showater, who signed the petition supporting Rudolph. “I’ve seen John in lots of situations and I’ve never seen him loose his cool – ever.”

He also urges the community to consider the source of the petition against Rudolph.

“It’s easy to anonymously post a petition and anonymously post ‘yes,’” he said. “I’d be much more influenced by something that people put their names on.

KALL Board member

Tom Roe said he posted the online petition in support of Rudolph after someone removed his post in support of the president on the other petition’s website.

“I just felt at that point that they weren’t playing fair,” said Roe. “I put the petition up so if people wanted to say something nice, they’d have an opportunity to do that.”

Of the incident at Everest, Roe says that “John could have handled it better; he could have handled it worse.

He wasn’t the one who was the offending party. In one minute what people are seeing is kind of a witch hunt against John.”

But those who signed the petition against Rudolph claim he has used his power as president for his and his friends’ personal gain within the organization. They claim that he has shown favoritism towards friends for coaching positions and used his power to hold those back for with whom he has had issues.

Wilkes said many of those who signed the petition against Rudolph have chosen not to speak out on the issue because they fear retaliation.

“John not only has a big bark, but teeth to go with it,” said Wilkes, who has taken the matter to the Little League’s district and regional office.

● QUOTE OF NOTE: EDITORIAL

KALL needs more oversight

T

his week our staff of two worked on a difficult story that is important to the Kirkland community. It was also a story about community members behaving badly. The most concerning part is that they are officials and parents connected with Kirkland American Little League. These are the people who are supposed to be role models for kids in our community.

KALL went through a major dust up just a few years ago when a parent was charged and convicted of assaulting a little league player by pushing him during an argument following a game. That story went national and gave KALL and Kirkland a black eye.

But this time it is more broad based and the blame can be shared by many. The issue began when a video was posted to YouTube, anonymously, showing KALL President John Rudolph screaming at a fan to leave the park. On first glance it is shocking and disturbing.

But those connected with the incident told us it was part of a larger incident that took place throughout the game when a private coach would not stop coaching players from the stands. Despite being warned by umpires, the coach persisted. It is against KALL rules to coach from the stands and the coach should have stopped when the umpire asked him to. Why should kids respect umpires if an adult does not?

The video shows Rudolph yelling at the man to leave the park.

This is also not conduct becoming of a league president. Being called from dinner to take care of the situation is part of the job and so is keeping calm. The incident is one of the worst examples of how to deal with problems from an adult to a child. Rudolph said that he sent a letter of apology to both teams, which was a good start to taking responsibility for his actions and everyone makes mistakes.

The incident triggered an online petition to have Rudolph removed from his role as president. It cites 17 reasons for his removal, most had nothing to do with the incident seen at Everest Park. But the biggest issue with the petition is that all 61 signees did so anonymously. In talking with some of the people who want Rudolph removed, they cited fear of retribution from Rudolph as to

why they would not go on the record. The problem we have with this statement is that he is a little league president, not an elected official or someone with major power. Sign your name folks. If you think it is right to have someone removed from office, have some guts and put your name behind it. It is not fair to anyone and what does it tell our kids about doing what you believe is right and standing behind your decision?

The people who signed the petition to keep Rudolph as president argued this point - but only to further their cause. The fact that all the petition signees to keep Rudolph gave their name should not surprise anyone. It is easier to support someone when you don’t fear reprisals.

There were some very concerning things attached to this issue.

The fact that one person has control of an organization’s money, sums of more than $60,000, with little oversight is something that

needs to be addressed within the league. There should be public oversight. We live in an electronic age. There is no reason the funds collected by KALL and all the expenditures cannot be posted to a website. It is the right thing to do. You don’t need to go through a huge committee and a ton of red tape for every expenditure if the process is transparent. None of this is black and white and there should be more oversight by the National Little League organization. Any investigation would be held by an outside third party, not by the KALL Board. They are way too close to the situation.

This type of issue is bad for everyone. Most organizations that deal with kids’activities are run well. Other than this issue and the one several years ago, KALL has a tremendously positive impact on the Kirkland community. But organizations like KALL should be viewed for what they are: a place to help teach kids through sports how to be responsible adults.

Letter blissfully overlooks key points

REPORTER

“It’s easy to anonymously post a petition and anonymously post ‘yes, ‘“ said Jack Showater (page 1).

In Marilyn Bentz’s letter (“Surprises await if charter school initiative becomes law”) she blissfully overlooks several key points. First of all, the reason the Charter School issue has come up for a vote three times already is that there is something (many things) wrong with the public school system, and the indefatigable charter school boosters will keep trying to rally voter support until they succeed in offering an affordable alternative to private schools for parents who have given up battling their local public school to get a better education for their children.

Marilyn, unwittingly perhaps, nails it on the head when she says, “All the proposals mentioned … for improving education could be undertaken within the existing system.” This is exactly right! The reason none of them are being undertaken is simple: the Washington Education Association doesn’t want any part of it. Having known several people employed by our local school district, I can say from experience that the WEA long ago stopped being interested in real advances in education, and has basi-

cally become a protection racket to annually shake down the legislators in order to get taxpayers to give contribute even more money to the school districts, usually for even less classroom time. The union also bravely Fights the Good Fight to protect all their teachers, but especially the really bad ones, such that, other than receiving a felony conviction, it is nearly impossible for any teacher to get fired once they have tenure. This they call acting in a “progressive” fashion; innocent until proven guilty and all that.

In reality, it is more like a page torn from organized religion’s scandalresponse playbook. What the WEA fears most is competition, which is exactly what charter schools bring to the table. I know a handful of teachers and they all really want to deliver a good education, but bureaucracy and union rules stand in the way. What would happen if teacher membership in the union was optional and not compulsory, as it is now? Too bad we don’t live in Wisconsin!

Reporter gives voice to unsubstantiated claims Generally I find the Reporter to be a responsible and balanced paper, and the public discourse in the letters to the editor to be interesting and thought-provoking whether or not I agree with the opinions stated.

However, I feel that it was irresponsible of the Reporter to print the out-

rageous and unsubstantiated claims made by Shaun Kelly in his recent letter against unspecified members of the Kirkland church community, and by extension Kirkland’s religious community generally. To say that “numerous church leaders” have called for all gays to be rounded up, placed behind electric fences and killed off by the government is Mr. Kelly’s right, however paranoid and psychotic it makes him appear. But for the Reporter to print these allegations, in the absence of any specificity as to who said these things, shows a lack of journalistic ethics.

Let’s say the tables were turned.

If a religious reader of the paper wrote a long paragraph claiming that “numerous leaders” of the gay community had called for the annihilation of all Christian believers, but failed to specify who said these things, or at what official gatherings, or as representatives of which gay rights group, would it go to print? I hardly think so. It would be taken for what it was, the ravings of someone trying to incite hatred and violence, and stir up discord within the community.

also added that success doesn’t always equal money if a person is not passionate about what they are doing.

He also discussed how the world is constantly changing, using the “Linsanity” over Asian American NBA player Jeremy Lin this year as an example.

“Can you master change?”

Sun asked the crowd.

He said his father taught him that when setting a goal, it was important to stay on a straight path to achieving that goal. But Sun said running a business — especially one in the tech industry — is not the same as it used to be and it is necessary to step off that path to keep up with all the changes.

“We literally have a pivot every day,” he said, referring to the twists and turns that come with running Pirq.

Murray said that police have the name of the suspect and will attempt to locate the man and possibly charge him with DUI.

Thinkspace Chief Operations Officer Alyssa Magnotti said the MIH allows small business owners and entrepreneurs to surround themselves with “like-minded people” with similar goals of success, even if their business ventures are different. As Magnotti put it, it is “better to work together than alone.”

mobile workforce — both in the variety of workspaces available and in the technological features of the hub.

Thinkspace is teaming up with HTC to create a device lab onsite with multiple mobile devices so people who are creating mobile applications can test their products without the expensive alternative of purchasing the devices themselves.

“We’re really excited to be part of the local startup community,” said HTC development evangelist Leigh Momii.

City of Redmond economic development manager Erika Vandenbrande was also in attendance and said the MIH could have a great impact on the city’s economic vitality as the mobile applications industry is growing. She added that all of the new technology being developed is spilling over into other fields such as medicine and aerospace.

“Somebody in this room could be the next Microsoft … It’s a whole new conversation happening,” she said Thursday.

ington in the top 10 in the country for job creation.”

One of the most controversial issues that Springer has been a part of is the elimination of community councils. The issue directly affects those in Houghton, who have one of only two community councils left in the state, with the other in Bellevue. But it is part of a bigger issue that Springer has been working on in the Legislature.

“I want to streamline government operations statewide,” said Springer, who will be on a task force this summer to look into the cost-cutting issue. “It will be hugely controversial.

But I will get myself a Kevlar jacket, put on a helmet and go to work.”

Springer knows that some people will vote on one controversial issue like the Houghton Community Council and not take his body of work into consideration.

“It is just the nature of government,” said Springer.

“You’re not going to make everyone happy.”

One area he has butted heads with supporters is in workers compensation and unemployment insurance.

Springer has worked to improve the situation for both unions and business. But it has drawn opposition from his own party.

“For a Democrat to do that and face off with labor unions is rare,” said Springer.

If cutting government waste and taking on unions doesn’t sound like a typical Democrat, Springer would agree. He takes issue with

BRIEF

his opponent’s statement that he is fairly comfortable with Springer’s representation, but that he wants to “make sure that the 45th District is represented - not a political party.”

“He assumes that you have to run because someone has a certain letter behind their name,” said Springer, who has raised nearly $92,000, according to the Public Disclosure Commission . “Isn’t that the problem in D.C.? I am a pretty moderate guy.”

Springer also points to how well Olympia has worked in general.

“It is gridlock in D.C.,” said Springer. “But go look at the votes in Olympia. The vast majority pass with like 80 percent of the vote.”

Looking forward, Springer sees a battle over public pension policy in Olympia. He thinks it will be contentious and there will be pressure to make changes.

“We just want to make sure that the changes are in the best interest of everyone because it will hit human services and higher education the hardest,” said Springer.

A former elementary school teacher, Springer owns a retail wine store in downtown Kirkland for the last 27 years with his wife Penny Sweet, a Kirkland City Council member, and their two Golden Retrievers, Beaune and Brix.

Hawes to hold basketball camp at JHS void,” said Hawes. “I was lucky enough to have season tickets growing up and it gave me my dream to play professionally. They gave so much to the community.”

There is a big contingent of NBA players who grew up in Seattle. Hawes said that while the basketball community may not feel it now or in five years, but not having a professional team in the area will get felt eventually.

“You will see the impact down the line,” said Hawes.

“The Sounders are the hot team right now and some of those basketball kids are going to soccer.”

Hawes will try to do his part in Kirkland to get kids excited about his favorite sport.

“I am very excited about the camp and really looking forward to it,” said Hawes.

Spencer Hawes basketball camp will run from June 26-29, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Juanita High School for ages 6-16. Both boys and girls are welcome at a cost of $275.

back to the community and continue that legacy.”

Hawes said that all his basketball friends have stories and good memories about hoops camps that they attended.

He created some NBA memories this past season, helping to guide his 76ers team to a first-round win against the Bulls and then push the Boston Celtics to seven games during the second round.

“I think it was a chance for the entire team to show what we didn’t get credit for during the regular season,” said Hawes, who is currently an unrestricted and coveted free agent after five years in the league. “I would like to stay in Philadelphia. But this is the first time I get to make a decision for myself.”

Hawes said that he still lives in the Seattle area during the off season.

“It is cool to be able to come back and have that part of my life,” said Hawes.

“To come back to some relative normalcy.”

Hawes has not played in Seattle as a professional and as a fan misses having a professional franchise in the area.

eattle native Spencer Hawes chose to enter the family business at a young age. His father and two uncles imparted their knowledge on him while he was growing up. They taught him many of the skills that he needed to become a professional and make money with his passion - basketball.

Hawes will hold a basketball camp at Juanita High School June 26-29 and impart some of that knowledge to boys and girls ages 6-16.

“This is my fourth year doing a camp and I have held it in various places,” said Hawes, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers this past season. “I like Juanita High School because of how big it is and how easily accessible it is. I am looking forward to working with a new group of kids.”

Hawes said that he knows he had an advantage growing up with his uncle, Steve Hawes, being a former professional basketball player. His father Jeff and uncle Kinnie also played at a high level in high school and college.

“It has been great to have my uncle and dad as such close resources,” said Hawes, who is 24. “Not only did they have good advice when I was drafted but back to when I was 12 years old.

But it was nice to have my

uncle there to talk to about the business side of it as a 19 year old. It was great to have that road map.”

Hawes wants to help impart his basketball knowledge to area youth during the four-day event, but the 7-feet-1 center said that the camp is about more than learning a layup or a fadeaway jumper.

“We will also talk about being a success off the court,” Hawes said, noting that the camp will address nutritional issues and staying focused.

He said that he plans to be at the camp all four days and have some guest appearances from some of his basketball friends.

Hawes played at Seattle Prep and guided the team to a state title. He then went to follow his uncle to the University of Washington, where he played one year before being drafted into the NBA. Another NBA veteran had a big impact on Hawes former Rainier Beach High School star Jamal Crawford.

“He is the model of giving back,” said Hawes, who has been a guest speaker at Crawford’s camps in the area. “I just want to give

Kirkland Park and Ride, LLC, 11624 SE 5th St. Ste 200 Bellevue, WA 98005, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit.

The proposed project, South Kirkland Park and Ride Transit Oriented Development is located at 10610 NE 38th Pl in Bellevue and Kirkland, in King County.

This project involves 4.5 acres of soil disturbance for residential, commercial, utility and transportation construction activities.

Stormwater will be discharged to Cochrane Springs Creek.
