Murder stuns city; Sammamish PD looking for vehicle

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

As parents waited to pick up half-day students from a nearby elementary school Wednesday afternoon, Sammamish and King County authorities were investigating what officials believe to be the first recorded murder in Sammamish city history. A suspect, Kevin D. Patterson, 20, is being sought.

Police were called to a home at the intersection of Audubon Park Drive Southeast and Southeast 26th Place, KEVIN D. south of Discovery Elementary School, PATTERSON just after noon on Sept. 17 to do a welfare check, Sammamish Police Chief Nathan Elledge said.

Since incorporating in 1999, Sammamish has never had a recorded murder, Elledge said. At this time, police believe

“It is so often not spoken about, and it is a hidden problem in our community,” she said. “Women and men affected by domestic violence don’t speak about it, there is a lot of pain involved. It is a slow progression, but breaking the cycle is what we [WAVE] are about.”

Breaking the cycle and supporting those who have been victims of abuse drove many of the cyclists.

In the first of two public hearings on Issaquah’s potential development agreement with Costco Wholesale on the company’s international headquarters, speakers were primarily concerned with the impact the agreement’s road development projects would have on nearby businesses and public recreation.

Concerned parties at the Sept. 15 hearing included Randy Bass, owner of Issaquah Mini Storage and Truck Country; counsel for the East Lake Sammamish Center shopping complex; Issaquah Alps Trails Club president David Kappler and Gilman business owner Connie Marsh.

About 1,000 cyclists and 350 volunteers took over Eastside streets Sunday, Sept. 14, to ride and raise money to help fight domestic violence in Washington.

Warm temperatures and sunny skies greeted the riders in the 7th annual “Cycle the WAVE” bike rally, hosted by the Women Against Violence Everywhere (WAVE) Foundation.

Sharon Anderson, WAVE president and board chair, estimated that close to $150,000 was raised for the foundation, though fundraising will continue through the end of September.

Although falling short of the 1,200 riders WAVE was expecting to attend, Anderson was “elated” with the turnout.

“With the change of location and the new routes we had this year, we were thrilled so many turned out to ride or volunteer,” she said.

The women-only bike rally helps to raise funds the foundation uses to support domestic abuse victim support groups, crisis and shelter services, and more throughout Washington state, while also working to increase awareness that domestic violence is a very real thing.

In light of increased attention paid to domestic violence issues in the media recently, Anderson says the act

On each of the four routes, ranging from the 14-mile “Little Sister� to the 61-mile “Burly Girl,� rest stations were manned by volunteers from area high schools and businesses. Volunteers wore shirts bearing a logo designed by a student at Liberty High School. Area high schools also had teams of volunteers turn out for the rally, wearing shirts that matched their school’s colors. “It’s good to support a good activity, especially when it is one with a good cause like this,� Volunteer Cindy Enyeart said.

Enyeart and other employees of Pine Lake Physical Therapy in Sammamish manned

one rest station at Sammamish’s Beaver Lake Park.

This was the first year the rally was held at Bellevue College, after moving from last year’s rally point at Issaquah High School.

Anderson said “Cycle the WAVE� will be at Bellevue College “for the long haul.� “We were really thrilled with the exposure we got. It was a great day,� Anderson said.

Fundraising will continue through the end of the month and general donations are accepted all year. For more information on WAVE and instructions on how to donate, visit thewavefoundation.org.

Legislators, educators meet over Common Core

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Legislators, educators and parents alike gathered in Issaquah on Monday night to clear the air about Common Core.

Six panelists answered questions from more than 30 parents in attendance at the town hall meeting, held Sept. 15 at Pacific Cascade Middle School.

State Representative Chad Magendanz, RIssaquah, joined Emilie Hard, assistance superintendent for Issaquah schools; Liv Finne of the Washington Policy Center, Essie Hicks, candidate for the Washington state House of Representatives; Jason Ritchie,

candidate for United States Congress for Washington’s 8th District; and education advocate Sharon “Research Mom� Hanek to answer questions both for and against the proposal.

Common Core is an effort sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers to develop standard educational benchmarks that would apply in every state, in an effort to better prepare students to enter college or the workforce.

Supporters contend that Common Core is an improvement that has been affected by distrust and misinformation, particularly by those distrustful of the federal govern-

ment that has enthusiastically supported the initiative. “The federal government’s crime was that they liked Common Core,â€? Magendanz said. “That poisoned it for a lot of people who are distrustful of the federal government‌we really need to separate what Common Core is and what the state standards are.â€?

Panelists and parents opposed to Common Core said that the standards, which opponents feel are too low, are not what was promised to them, focusing more on methodology and abstract thinking than factual information. “The federal government forced states to adopt the Common Core by linking Race

to the Top grants and No Child Left Behind rule waivers to them,â€? Finne said. “It will just drive down the quality of our children’s’ education. ‌It is not what we were promised.â€?

Hanek, a parent who has campaigned for education reform in Olympia for more than a decade, said she became concerned when she first saw details about Common Core. “Everyone has high hopes for Common Core, but what was promised is not what we are getting,� she said. “I don’t think teachers have been given the time they need to implement the standards,� Ritchie said. “I have no problem with having standards, but as it applies to teachers in the classroom, that is where I have a problem.�

Pine Lake Interloper:

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Residents living around Pine Lake in Sammamish are helping to remove an invasive species from their waters, all while helping out research.

Julian Olden, an associate professor at the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, will be continuing work with residents later this month to combat the Red Swamp Crayfish.

“These first non-native crayfish were found in Pine Lake in 2000,” Olden said.

“Now it occupies about a dozen lakes in western Washington.”

The Red Swamp Crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is also known as the Louisiana Crawfish or the Mudbug. Native to the Gulf Coast from Mexico to Florida, the species is often featured in Cajun cooking in the south-central United States.

Listed as a banned invasive species by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, P.clarkii is considered vectors for parasites and diseases that can negatively impact native species. First recorded in September 2000, populations of P.clarkii have been found in lakes throughout King County since then. State fisheries officials believe that the species was introduced as bait fishing for largemouth bass.

Olden, who has been working at Pine Lake for the past eight years, says that the

larger, meatier traits of P.clarkii that make it more attractive to fishermen as bait are what makes it so dangerous to the local ecosystem.

“They have impacts on fish and amphibians, they eat their eggs,” Olden said. “They can affect recreationally important fish like bass. They also outmuscle and outcompete the native crayfish for shelter and food.”

fish from the lake, putting in more than 30,000 trapping hours.

“In two years of participating in this program, we have captured hundreds of red swamp crayfish, but only a handful of the native Signal Crayfish,” Pine Lake resident Doug Henderson said. “Although we do enjoy the occasional crayfish boil, and find it somewhat humorous to see so many

P.clarkii are readily identifiable by their rough carapace and dark red color.

On his web site, Olden invites anyone to actively trap crayfish to help reduce P.clarkii populations in Pine Lake, which Olden calls the “most infested lake in the state.”

To date, since starting last year, volunteers have removed more than 4,000 of the craw-

crayfish that you can even catch them in the lawn, we are a little sad that we almost never see the native signal crayfish around our dock.”

While Olden prefers only Pine Lake-area residents volunteer, all volunteers must follow guidelines. Potential volunteers need to be registered with Olden. Volunteers

must also record and submit data including size and gender of each individual animal removed.

While Henderson has a degree in biology and formerly worked in an aquatic toxicology lab, the effort to control the P.clarkii population has been “a great learning experience” for his daughter, Solana, a student at Creekside Elementary.

“We are interested in doing whatever we can to improve the water quality and habitat,” Henderson said.

Volunteers also must take care to separate out members of the native Signal Crayfish species, Pacifastacus leniusculus, identified by their smooth shells and brown carapace, with a white patch near the base of each claw.

Any caught P.clarkii individuals can be disposed of or cooked and eaten. The state fisheries department requires that all captured animals not be re-introduced to the water, but killed and disposed of.

“A few times each summer we’ve hosted a crayfish boil with friends and family,” Henderson said. “When cooking them, we like to boil them in an outdoor cooker with potatoes, corn, sausage, onions, lemons, and Zatarain’s crayfish boil.”

SAFETY

An apparent murder in Sammamish doesn’t change that people here are safe

A

n apparent homicide in Sammamish this week — the city’s first such incident since incorporation in August 1999 — understandably has some residents concerned. But though few details have been released as of the Reporter’s deadline, it’s unlikely that the rest of the city is in jeopardy.

Most murders aren’t random; the victim usually was known by the person who committed the crime.

So we’re really not surprised by a news release we got this week from an online security system aggregate, Safewise, that named Sammamish as the second safest city in the state of 50 that it analyzed. The organization says the list was generated from a combination of independent research and FBI crime data.

Murders — and crime in general, of course — can happen anywhere. But Sammamish remains today, as it was last week, a safe and secure place, patrolled by a highly competent police force from the county sheriff ’s department. That doesn’t lessen the tragedy that occurred to the victim, but it does mean while bad things can happen, they don’t happen here very much or very often.

Good news from Costco

T

he news that Costco Wholesale wants to expand its headquarters in Issaquah is testimony both to the strength of the company and the amenities and benefits available in and around the city. We’re not surprised Chamber of Commerce officials and others have stepped up to champion the company’s proposal.

Few companies have such a loyal following worldwide as Costco. At what other company are people so eager to pay just to shop in its stores?

Costco’s home brand may be named Kirkland, but it’s obvious where its heart lies. We love it right back.

Why Costco matters to Issaquah

T

his fall, city of Issaquah leaders will vote on a major development agreement between the city and Costco Wholesale, Issaquah’s largest private employer. Costco is a successful and growing company, which is very good for Issaquah. To accommodate this growth, the company is seeking to build additional capacity on its Pickering Place campus. The Development Agreement is the negotiated plan between City leaders and Costco to RICHARD provide for this future GABEL growth. The agreement is consistent with the Central Issaquah Plan and we urge city leaders to move forward with its adoption.

Costco found its way to our town nearly 20 years ago. Issaquah was “the right place at the MATTHEW BOTT right time” to welcome to the community what would become one of the world’s most notable retailing success stories. And we

are lucky to have them.

Without Costco, the Issaquah of today would look very different. As you can imagine, having the global headquarters of a major Fortune 500 company in our community provides a substantial driver for our economy, our employment base and our quality of life. Without Costco, our schools would not be as high-quality as they are today. Our city budget would not have the revenue it has to support parks, police and civic programs. And many Issaquah citizens would be without local jobs.

Costco is a cherished brand, in Issaquah and across the globe. It pays top wages in its industry. It has an extremely loyal customer base. It pioneered an innovative business model that continues to perform.

Plus, Costco gives back. It is very involved in Issaquah and in every community it calls home across the globe – over 600 locations. It donates millions every year to the Children’s Miracle Network and support thousands of jobs and families.

Having Costco make efforts to expand its footprint is not only good for our local jobs base and city revenue, but also it SEE COSTCO, 5

EFR notes need for helmet use Eastside Fire & Rescue is urging all people who ride a motorcycle, ATV or bicycle to make it a habit to wear a helmet when operating the two-, three-, or four-wheelers.

"It’s really a no-brainer," said EFR Fire Chief Lee Soptich. "Wearing a helmet is something so simple, that makes so much difference when things go wrong.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2010, 42 percent of motorcyclists who were fatally injured were not wearing helmets at the time of the accident. Helmets saved over 1,500 riders’ lives in 2010, but about 700

more lives could have been saved if all riders had worn helmets.

On average, states with a universal helmet law save eight times more riders’ lives per 100,000 motorcycle registrations annually, when compared to states without a helmet law.

Even states with a partial helmet law save three times more riders’ lives per 100,000 motorcycle registrations each year.

In a separate report, the CDC noted, only 45 percent of All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) riders always wear a helmet, and 25 percent never wear one. Youth who most frequently ride ATVs have the lowest consis-

supports the redevelopment and business recruitment goals of the Central Issaquah Plan. For the plan’s bold vision to come to fruition, we need companies that are willing to invest in Issaquah, supporting our infrastructure needs and job creation goals.

Knowledge that our largest corporate partner is ‘doubling down’ on our community and expanding its footprint sends an important message about Issaquah’s stability, quality of life and future. With the aggressive business recruitment goals of our neighbors and cities across the West Coast, we need to do everything we can to support our local economy and encourage inbound business investment. Plus, the development agreement also calls for substantial and much-needed transportation improvements for north Issaquah, with significant investments from Costco.

Companies operate in a global environment.

Virtually any city in Washington and across the na-

tent helmet use. A full 80 percent of youth who reported that they had ridden an ATV six or more times in the previous year did not always wear a helmet.

In 2011, an estimated 25 percent of youth reported that they had ridden an ATV at least once during the previous year. The proportion of rural youth who reported riding an ATV was double the number of urban youth riders. Among riders, males tend to ride more often than females.

Millions of Americans ride bicycles, but the CDC reports that less than half wear bicycle helmets.

tion would love to have Costco house all or part of its headquarters operation. And, as with any major company, it is heavily recruited to do so.

The competition for high paying jobs across the nation is intense. It is intense because the stakes are so high — for community health and prosperity, for high-paying jobs, and for a sustainable economy. As we come out of the Great Recession, city leaders across the nation are realizing that communities only prosper with a strong private sector, thriving businesses and steady job growth.

Without these items, quality of life is damaged, schools decline, and families suffer.

Issaquah city leaders, now concluding their due diligence on the proposed agreement, should vote yes to ensure our largest local employer can continue to grow and succeed here in our community. It matters greatly for Issaquah’s future.

Richard Gabel and Matthew Bott are the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, for the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce.

Sign about forests revises our history

I am a longtime Seattle resident who recently moved to Issaquah. Recently, I walked down to the hatchery to watch the Chinook spawning. It’s a beautiful thing.

However, on the boardwalk near the bridge at the hatchery (on the Squak-side of the creek), there is a display relating to oldgrowth forest. The first subheading on this sign reads, “When people came, the forests went.”

This sub-head is not only inaccurate, it is offensive and problematic, for at least two reasons: First, this statement erases the 10,000+ year documented history of human life in this region, which did not result in deforestation.

Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest are people, and this sign erases the humanity of these peoples and their long history of sustainable life.

Second, the trees did not fall when people came, they “went” (to use the same euphemism as the sign) when the European settlercolonialism swept to the Pacific Coast. To claim that “people” in the abstract sense caused the deforestation of Western Washington does not give blame where blame is due: on the European colonizers, who, it should be noted, first conquered the native tribes in wars of conquest, then decimated the forests.

This may seem like a trivial matter to you, but it is historical revisionism of the worst sort — the same kind that prevents Turkey from acknowledging the Armenian Genocide, the same kind that prevents China from discussing Tibet as an independent nation.

History is written by the victor, but moral people must not allow false history to become enshrined in the culture. Truth is important.

This sign should be removed and replaced with a more accurate representation of the history of this region.

HUGE END OF SUMMER $5.97 PLANT SALE

Oh my gosh, it’s already September and we have way too many plants here! They have to go! We don’t have room to keep them all winter. Lucky for you, this beautiful fall weather is the very best time to get them settled into your yard.

We have lots of big one-gallon size plants priced at just $5.97, including about 5 different kinds of trees, at least 15 varieties of shrubs, and over 20 different flavors of perennials.

Get out your red or blue pen and start circling the plants you want, and then tear out this ad and bring it with you.

I have to admit that I have lots of favorite plants, but today my favorite is the fall Heathers. They are in bloom and so beautiful and just $5.97 each! There’s Pyramid Purple, and Corbett’s Red, and Dark Beauty.

They look great in groups, or as fall color accents in a mixed bed.

But maybe you are looking for trees? We have lots of trees for $5.97. Check out Ginkgo trees. These are a couple feet tall, with big strong roots. They are seedlings, just like Nature made them, with that unusual prehistoric leaf shape in the coolest blue green color I’ve ever seen. They are just a wonderful deal at only $5.97.

Let’s see, can I find you some more trees for $5.97?

You bet! We have Eastern Redbud, Paperbark Birch, Sweetgum trees, and even Japanese Red Maples. I wonder where else are you going to find a Japanese Red Maple for $5.97.

Oh, and Paperbark Birch. These little guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do fine in that soggy area, and they don’t care how much sun there is. These look great in clumps of 3, and they are very fast growing. If you are in a hurry, the Curly Willows add a couple of feet a year, too.

I love Irises – all those beautiful flowers! I grew lots this year, so I have six different kinds of Japanese and Siberian Iris for you right now. Irises are so great around here because they are okay with soil that doesn’t drain well. No problem. And I love that the Siberians start blooming in May, and some of the Japanese keep going well into July. The parade starts with royal blue Caesar’s Brother and pure white King of Kings Siberian Irises. The Japanese Irises bloom next, and those are Tropical Storm, Good Omen, and Variegated Japanese Iris – white stripes on the green leaves, and big royal purple flowers – wow! You can find all these on line for about 10 bucks each (plus shipping) but I’ve got them for $5.97. I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but it’s fall, and I don’t want to haul them back to the field for winter.

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll likely turn their noses up at these. And also on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself ? Not as easy as it looks. Ours have been growing in their pots for over a year, so they have big strong root systems and we know that they’ll work for you.

We’ve got some beautiful David’s Viburnum that looks super with Emerald Gaiety Wintercreeper. Pop some Lamb’s Ears nearby, and you’re good to go. They’re all $5.97, and they’re all happy pretty much anywhere.

Also for $5.97 we have Minor Black Weigelas and Neon Flash Spireas. These look great together, and grow quick but not too big. As a bonus, you’ll have hot pink flowers all summer long.

I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least twice as much for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

Let’s see, what else can we find for you for $5.97? How about Doublefile Viburnum, and Hostas, and Purple Smoke Bush, and even Oak Leaf Hydrangeas? I love those Oak Leafs, with the flowers that change from white to pink, and that cool peeling bark in winter.

And come pick up some Daylilies. We have three kinds – Stella D’Oro, Catherine Woodberry, and Bonanza.

These beauties bloomed all summer long. I think Stella is still flowering near my front door.

We’ve also got Mrs. Robb’s Bonnet and Variegated Autumn Joy Sedum and lots of other perennials – Cranesbill Geraniums, Bearberry Cotoneaster, Ice Dance Grass, and who knows what else is out there.

There’s lots, lots more, and whatever it is, it’s $5.97.

We also have some really nice Dawn Redwoods for just $14. They were tiny this spring, and now they’re a couple feet tall. They grow like crazy, and they’re just the thing to put between you and those neighbors that have been getting on your nerves all summer.

For a little more money, we have a lot more plants. We have some awesome Magnolias - three different kinds.

Judy Zuk is one beautiful girl. She’s the most brilliant golden Magnolia of all. She’ll be about 15 ft tall in 15 years. The biggest ones are at least 5 ft. tall, $99, and that’s a steal. Bring a truck. The Royal Star Magnolia trees are about 3 ft tall right now, nice and full with lots of branches. These are just covered with fragrant fluffy white flowers in spring, and a steal at $24. And we also have Jane and Betty and Butterflies Magnolias. These can be large shrubs or small trees, with big showy flowers for a long blooming season in spring. Actually, one is blooming in my driveway right now, but I think she’s an overachiever.

Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got three kinds of very special Dogwoods. We have Cherokee Brave, which is super red and only $39, and Radiant Rose, and Wolf Eye, which we like so much we put a great big one right in our front yard.

You get the idea. Come on over SATURDAY and SUNDAY September 20-21 and September 27-28 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Just those 2 weekends, and then we’re putting our feet up. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.) There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $5.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants. Okay? Good.

See you this weekend!

Those primarily consist of three projects: East Lake Sammamish Parkway, Southeast 62nd Street and 12th Avenue Northwest near Northwest Sammamish Road.

Among the improvements to East Lake Sammamish Parkway would be a traffic circle at its intersection with South-

east 62nd Street. Southeast 62nd Street itself would be extended toward Pickering Place Plaza.

In public comment

He also said he believed standard left turn lanes would serve traffic better than a traffic circle.

“I’d like my engineers to meet with city engineers to solve this problem,” he said. “This isn’t just my problem.”

Samm. council proposes ban on marijuana businesses

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Sammamish’s proposed recreational marijuana ordinance would prohibit businesses related to the industry, but would not restrict marijuana’s use.

The ordinance was read before the Sammamish City Council for the first time during their regular council meeting Sept.

16 at Sammamish City Hall.

As written, the ordinance would also enforce preexisting restrictions on medical marijuana facilities. It does, however, also include language allowing for businesses in certain areas of the city should the courts rule in favor of marijuana processors and distributors in several legal challenges statewide. Pierce County judge Ron

Culpepper ruled that cities have the right to ban marijuana-based businesses under the legalization law, collectively known as I-502, in an Aug. 29 ruling. However several groups are challenging the ruling.

The next reading will be held during the Sammamish City Council meeting Oct. 21.

In other business, city officials also approved a contract for environmental monitoring of Ebright Creek and surrounding wetlands as it empties into Pine Lake, paying special attention to water clarity, pH levels and phosphorous levels.

The council will hold its next public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Breakfast raises $75,000 for food, clothing bank The Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank raised over $75,000 at its 2nd annual Recipe for Hope Breakfast on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

The organization plans to use the support to grow its programs, improve its facilities and extend its outreach “to ensure there are no hungry kids in our schools, no hungry senior alone at home and no one left without a safety net,” said Cori Walters, executive director.

The event was held at Eastridge Church in Issaquah.

Tax scam targets immigrants; police dept. issues warning

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Sammamish Police Department wants residents to be aware of scammers pretending to be federal officials to fleece taxpayers of thousands of dollars.

For the past year, scammers have been targeting recent immigrants across the country, including Sammamish, pretending to be Internal Revenue Service agents, telling victims that they owed money, SPD Sgt. Tony Garza said.

Scammers would tell victims they had to immediately pay via wire transfer or preloaded debit card, else they would face arrest, deportation or the suspension of driver’s or business licenses, according to a statement made by the IRS. Callers will often become hostile and threatening with victims over the phone in an attempt to force a payment.

Scammers also will often spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID, using fake names and IRS badge numbers, and may even be able to give the victim the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement.

Recently, residents of Sammamish have been targeted outside of the immigrant communities, Garza said, with calls coming in to SPD “every day.” One victim in Sammamish, who SPD declined to identify, was scammed out of nearly $20,000.

Victims who call SPD to report they have been scammed will often have to look for help elsewhere.

“There is no way for us to follow up on it,” Garza said, as the calls were traced back to a New York call center.

Instead, Garza urged anyone who needs to report this type of crime to the IRS. Victims who may owe or think they owe taxes can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Victims who do not owe taxes can call the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484.

Victims also can file a complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov under “Other - Imposter Scams.” When filing an online complaint, use the words “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes section.

King County councilman proposes Leadership Eastside body cameras for law enforcement elects new officers Cams create a record for investigations, Upthegrove says

BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Police officers are sworn to serve and protect, but what happens in the line of duty when there isn’t a crystal clear record of the events?

In the aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in Ferguson, MO., last month, legislators and police departments across the country are trying to find solutions on how to prevent any future incidents.

While numerous questions remain about what exactly took place in Ferguson, King County Councilman David Upthegrove said an answer may be found by equipping law enforcement officials with body cameras.

Earlier this week Upthegrove introduced legislation to create a pilot project attaching video cameras to police uniforms in an effort to reduce instances of “inappropriate use of force by officers” and complaints against officers by the public.

The legislation includes the creation of a task force comprised of attorneys, officers, and members of the American Civil Liberties Union to lay out how to address privacy and public disclosure issues as well as guidelines for the camera’s use.

“There’s a lot of room to improve the trust and transparency of our law enforcement agencies. This wasn’t motivated by one specific incident locally, but there’s anecdotal incidents, especially in communities of color,” Upthegrove

told the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter. “I’ve heard from constituents of not always being treated respectively.”

Video and audio footage from an incident provides a far better and more detailed account of what happened than just eye witness testimony, he said.

“Cameras not only protect the officers but ensure we have an accurate record of what takes place,” Upthegrove said, “but I don’t want a bunch of walking surveillance cameras.”

Last week, more than 200 King County residents attended a public forum in SeaTac held by Upthegrove to talk about interactions with police and what can be done to improve the relationships between officers and the public.

With strong emotional support and criticism expressed at the meeting, the councilman said the issue won’t be solved overnight, nor will cameras be a fix-all.

King County Sheriff John Urquhart expressed his full support for the proposed legislation.

“It keeps everyone on a level playing field,” he said. “We get complaints against officers all the time and they’re almost always a he said, she said situation. The body camera would help eliminate the doubt and make it much easier to come to a conclusion on what actually happened. It protects the public as much as it protects our officers.”

Upthegrove said the process won’t be quick, saying if the usage of cameras is approved it wouldn’t be implemented until at least next spring.

The usage of the cameras would also have to get the approval of the officer’s union as it would change their working conditions.

Hindu Lord Balaji coming to Bellevue

Vedic Cultural Center of Sammamish to open new temple

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Vedic Cultural Center of Sammamish is expanding its presence on the Eastside with a future Sri Balaji Temple in Bellevue that will share space with a K-5 cultural school once permits and renovations are completed.

The $5.1-million, 23,000-square-foot office building on the 12000 block of Bel Red Road was purchased last summer with a $1.5-million cash down payment.

Temple Director Nanda Suta said services will be held on the weekends, freeing up the planned Vedic Institute for Benevolent Education to operate weekdays. The VCC is still raising $200,000 for interior renovations.

“This school will be opened to anyone who would like to join,” Suta said. “It’s not going to be a temple- or faith-based organization.”

VIBE will focus on vedic education, arts, culture, music, dance and spirituality.

“We need to realize that there are finite resources in the world, there are limited things in the world for people to share and to use, and we need to be in harmony with each other,” Suta said of the vedic teachings that would be incorporated into a more traditional school curriculum.

Lord Balaji in Hindu culture is a form of the Hindu god Vishnu, and is revered for answering the prayers of those facing misfortune.

Construction is anticipated to begin next spring at the Forum West building on 12501 Bel Red Road, with hopes of opening the school next fall, said Suta, and the temple shortly before then.

“We are working with the city of Bellevue diligently,” Suta said of the permitting process. “We are chugging along as best we can.”

EF&R stresses baby safety For the past two decades, September has been designated as National Baby Safety Month. Building on that general theme, officials at Eastside Fire & Rescue (EF&R) encourage parents, care-takers, and others who watch over little ones to do their part in preventing accidental ingestion of cleaning products.

Knowing that “Children act fast and so do accidents,” emergency responders at EF&R want homeowners to do some

quick and simple things to reduce or avoid the risk of poisoning.

According to Deputy Chief of Operations, Greg Tryon, “Safely discarding of no longer used cleaning products is the best place to start. If an item is not there, there’s just no risk.”

In addition to limiting supplies on hand, purchasing cleaning products with multiple uses further reduces risk.

Keeping cleaning supplies in original, well-marked containers is always a best

practice as well. The next best protection against accidents is to have cleaning products stored in places where children are rarely, if ever, expected to be without direct supervision. Lastly, keeping cleaning supplies secured using child-proof locks is always recommended.

“Time spent in preventing is always better than time used in reacting,” noted Tryon. However, if you suspect poisoning, and there’s no immediate or obvious threat, contact the Washington State Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. Whenever in doubt, dial 911.

District hears out Tiger Mountain parents The Issaquah school board held two public hearings on the future of Tiger Mountain Comm. High

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah Schools Superintendent Ron Thiele weighed the decision carefully last year and presented his opinion to Tiger Mountain Community High School staff in January.

He knew this would trigger a torrent of feedback. And it did.

But when the time came for Thiele to give his recommendation to the school board, on June 26, his opinion hadn’t changed: in the face of low graduation rates and more stringent state graduation requirements, the alternative

high school would need to close.

At a first public hearing for the matter held Sept. 10 in the district administration building — a second was held this Wednesday, Sept. 17 after the Reporter’s deadline — the superintendent explained his recommendation based on the data: “The truth is most Tiger students are not earning a diploma and are not meeting standard on the tests,” he said. “When we do an analysis of the students it isn’t just because of the test, it’s usually a combination of credit deficiencies and not meeting

standard on the assessments.

For the last three years we’ve had a graduation rate — an on-time graduation rate — that has been in the 30s, below 40 percent. On an extended — five years of high school — we’re only about 50 percent.”

That compared with a 92 percent on-time graduation rate districtwide, Thiele continued. The school had been formed before state testing factored into graduation requirements, Thiele said, and, furthermore, at an average of four credits per year students simply weren’t earning enough credits each year to match the 22-credit graduation requirements.

The board listened to more than a dozen speakers, many of them parents of current and former Tiger Mountain

students.

The first of them — Mitchell Reed, a parent of a Tiger Mountain graduate — suggested the district was “putting the cart before the horse.”

“The school population is down at Tiger Mountain,” Reed said. “The graduation rate is low, it is down. Kids are performing below other schools.

All those things are true. While the … school population has declined over the past decade, it is really interesting to note that the population of Issaquah and Sammamish has increased rapidly during that same time frame.”

Reed went on to say that he believed the AP and IB programs were serving the top learners of the traditional high

Better learning through technology

For as long as school districts have been organized, the institutions have been charged with not only educating students, but also keeping meticulous records of the performance of its children — and the teachers who mold their minds.

That’s meant paperwork: reams and reams of test scores, employee evaluations and other records. In the Issaquah School District thus far, the information age had only managed to alter that task by taking physical paper out of the equation — whenever employee evaluations rolled around, administrators found themselves

Skyline gallops out of gates with gusto

Wolves' junior believes his team has talent to turn in a stellar 2014 season

BY SHAUN SCOTT

B

one rattling hits, relentless pursuit to the football and execution on offense has paid dividends in the first two weeks of the high school football season for the Skyline Spartans.

The Spartans are off to a sizzling start after registering a 48-21 victory against the Issaquah Eagles in the season opener and a 49-0 win against the Newport Knights in the second week of the season.

Skyline’s defense unveiled a game for the ages against Newport.

The Knights didn’t get a first down until the 9:54 SHAUN mark of the third quarter SCOTT and had -18 total yards at halftime. Newport lost four fumbles against a Skyline defense that has a nose for the ball.

It was total domination in all facets on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage.

ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Courtesy photo, Don Borin/Stop Action Photography

Skyline running back Rashaad Boddie (28) has scored eight total touchdowns in a mere two games.

I have covered high school football games since September 2005 and it was the best defensive performance I’ve ever seen.

Newport isn’t a pushover; they are a very well-coached solid football team. The Knights have a sizable frontline, but it didn’t matter as the Spartans controlled the line of scrimmage from the onset.

Not only is the Spartans defense dominating, the offense is playing just as well.

Skyline junior quarterback Blake Gregory is shredding secondaries in his first season as the starting signal caller. Gregory has six touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns through eight quarters of play. He

doesn’t get rattled and certainly doesn’t look like a first-year starter. The poise he’s exuded in his first two games bodes well for his team down the road.

Gregory’s supporting cast on offense is immense and the guy leading the charge is Spartans’ junior running back Rashaad Boddie. Boddie’s bruising running style combined with breakaway speed is a unique skill-set most high school running backs don’t possess. This was evident on the Spartans first offensive play from scrimmage of the 2014 season against Issaquah. Boddie hauled in a quick screen pass from Gregory and rumbled 81 yards down the sideline for an electrifying touchdown. You can’t ask for a better start to SEE SKYLINE, 13

We will just take it week by week and do the best we can."

You can't go down the list and say there is a win right here and a win right there," he said. "Each game is a battle. It's really tough but it's a lot of fun, too."

Recently the Reporter had an opportunity to ask Whitley a few questions about his life away from the football field.

Issaquah Reporter: What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

Mark Whitley: "When the Game Stands Tall" (movie based on powerhouse De La Salle High School football program) It was pretty good. We saw it with the entire football team. It

MARK WHITLEY

IR: What is favorite television show?

MW: My favorite show is How I Met Your Mother. It's just interesting and is the kind of show that draws you in.

IR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2015?

MW: The Seattle Seahawks. I was looking at their roster and they didn't lose too many players. I think they're a favorite for it.

the season than that.

The 6-foot, 225-pound running back has six rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns through two contests.

Spartans’ wide receivers Derek Loville and Danny Sinatro are viable threats in the passing game as well. Both players have great speed and run precise routes.

The Spartans have put last season’s 26-20 loss to Federal Way in the first round of the Class 4A state playoffs behind

IR: What is your favorite eatery on the plateau?

MW: The Sammamish Cafe. I like going there for breakfast. I usually get the meat lovers omelet.

IR: Where do you see yourself in five years?

MW: Finishing up college and then looking for work. I'm not really sure what I want to do for a career yet.

IR: Who was your idol growing up?

MW: I looked up to my father, Dave.

We have a pretty close relationship.

IR: How many text messages do you send per day?

MW: I probably average about 10 per day. I like to get it done quick.

“One of the biggest things we talk about with our players is that every season we create a new identity,” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said after an August practice session. “We respect the past and protect the tradition of this program but we want to recreate our identity as a team every year.”

The identity of 2014 Spartans looks pretty darn good right now.

Sammamish student studying marmots A Sammamish resident at Gonzaga University is spending the summer researching why the local population of yellowbellied marmots — those gregarious, burrowing rodents ubiquitous near the Spokane River — are not only surviving but thriving in the urban areas of Spokane.

Erin Pazaski, a biology major, is assisting Elizabeth Addis, assistant professor of biology at Gonzaga University, and two other senior biology majors, Kirsten Price from Bellevue and Katie Carr from California.

Most research exploring patterns of species survival has focused on birds; little is known about the physiological mechanisms that allow animals to survive in urban environments. The marmots, whose scientific name is Marmota flaviventris, are thriving in their increasingly urbanized environment.

“Eastern Washington is unusual in having these marmots thrive among the cars, the bikes, the dogs and the people,” Addis says, adding that the beaverlike creatures are typically found in more remote, mountainous areas. “My work focuses on the physiological processes, particularly those associated with stress, that facilitate the

The Lake Washington School District LINKS Program is now recruiting community volunteers who are interested in aiding student success. Last school year, 258 volunteers shared their time in classrooms; worked one-on-one with kids on math, writing or reading; tutored middle school students; and served as Lunch Buddies to children that needed a positive role model.

The LINKS Program offers volunteers support throughout the school year, through training, social events and an end of year celebration.

New volunteers are required to attend a volunteer orientation, complete a volunteer application and be approved before beginning their volunteer service in a school. Upcoming orientation dates are listed on the LINKS website at: http://www.lwsd.org/ForCommunity/Volunteers/ LINKS/Pages/VolunteerOrientation-Training.aspx.

To register for an upcoming orientation, email Nanci Wehr at nwehr@ lwsd.org or call 425-9361410.

This year the district will further implement two software programs into school operations with the intent of boosting efficiency and analytical power.

By far the larger of the two rollouts is Homeroom, a program from School Data Solutions that tracks students’ performance on state and district assessments. The program has been used in a lesser capacity for the past four years while teaching and learning staff integrated it into district operations and provided optional training to teachers.

But, as school year 2014-2015 moves forward, the district will deliver teachers a steady flow of reports on their students’ academic strengths and weaknesses. Homeroom’s information will be presented on a spreadsheet that can be converted to visually friendly charts and graphs.

“They’re really being thoughtful about what information the teacher will need without overwhelming them with all of it,” school board Director Anne Moore said following a

public briefing on the status of the program. “As valuable as it all is, when you get it all at once it’s like it’s a firehose.”

The information can be paired up, taken apart and examined in many different ways, with much of the grunt work automated. The hope is that the tool will allow teachers to identify students who need help immediately — and

“The difference of ... three weeks (attention) early on could be tremendous.”

- Dennis Wright, on the potential for Homeroom software to identify learning shortfalls free up their time to do so.

Dennis Wright likened the effect to a well-known chaos theory anecdote: that the seemingly insignificant flap of a butterfly’s wings, through a long chain of cause and effect, could be the difference that makes a hurricane a world away.

enter a new school year and it will take that teacher three weeks to realize he’s having trouble with reading,” he said. “But under the new system, that teacher can see the records on that student from last year and (see the problem immediately). The difference of those three weeks early on could be tremendous.”

Wright, the director of career and counseling services for the school district, is the author of another application being introduced to Issaquah schools — one that might be considered a less-robust Homeroom for teachers. The program allows administrators to handle teacher evaluations — once input manually into myriad forms — under a single database.

Wright began work on the program almost a year ago.

The reason for the program was simple: administrators were spending too much time retrieving old evaluations and filing new ones.

Wright coded the program in PHP and MySQL Server for nine months while taking input from administrators on their needs. It was introduced to elementary campuses on Thursday and will be introduced to secondary schools in the coming week.

“If you can spend time helping teachers become better teachers instead of focusing on rote mechanical input, that’s worthwhile,” Wright said.

100-student population. “[These students are] often years behind their peers, academically,” Reed said. “And many, as you already know, come from disadvantaged, unstable homes … is it any wonder to the board that their test scores are below traditional comprehensive high schools? How could it be otherwise?”
