Group of Trilogy homeowners file lawsuit against builder SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

On Oct. 10, a group of homeowners from Trilogy on Redmond Ridge filed a class-action lawsuit in federal court for the Western District of Washington against Shea Homes, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that the California-based homebuilder acted unfairly

and deceptively in building, marketing and selling homes specifically marketed to elderly buyers.

The group is made up of more than 950 plaintiffs who own about 600 homes in Trilogy, a planned community for adults 55 and older.

Steve Berman — whose Seattle-based law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro

LLP, along with Levy–von Beck & Associates (also in Seattle), is representing the plaintiffs — said they expect more people to join the lawsuit for a total of about 1,000 homes to be represented. There are about 1,500 homes in Trilogy, he said.

The lawsuit alleges that Shea knowingly ignored architect plans and build-

ing codes by omitting required exterior waterproofing components such as metal flashings intended to prevent water intrusion and rot damage.

In response to the lawsuit, Shea said in a prepared statement that a class-action lawsuit in this matter had been rejected in federal court in July. The statement continued, read-

ing, “while we cannot discuss the claims specifically, we believe they are without merit and are prepared to vigorously defend this latest attempt to expand the litigation.”

NEIGHBORHOOD-WIDE DAMAGES

The 89-page complaint states that Shea “chose to

build and sell over 1,500 homes in the Trilogy at Redmond Ridge development (‘Trilogy’) that it knew deviated from its architects’ and contractors’ guidelines, county-approved plans, and recommendations.” The complaint continues that the homebuilder “intentionally [ more TRILOGY page 8 ]

Redmond Police Department’s Hovenden, Vader retire from K-9 unit SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

During the last 13 and a half years of his career at the Redmond Police Department (RPD), officer Sam Hovenden has worked with two partners.

While this is already unique for an officer in a department in which cops work single-officer cars, his partners — Monty and Vader — were unusual, as well.

This is because Hovenden was one half of RPD’s K-9 unit and Monty and Vader were German Shepherds.

Hovenden retired out of the unit in September, but despite this change, the 18-and-a-half-year veteran officer is still involved in the department’s — as well as the state’s — K-9 teams.

As a master trainer, Hovenden has certified more than 100 K-9 police teams throughout Washington in patrol and narcotics. This summer, he trained K-9 units

for the Bellevue and Tukwila police departments as well as the new RPD K-9 unit, which will continue with RPD officer Dan Smith and Remy the German Shepherd.

“Officer Hovenden has been recognized as a leader in the safe and appropriate use of police K-9s throughout the state of Washington,” said RPD Chief Ron Gibson.

“He is certified as a master trainer of police K-9 teams and has been a great asset to our department.”

In addition, Hovenden is the current president of the Washington State Police Canine Association.

RPD’s K-9 unit began in 1980 and during his tenure, Hovenden and his partners’ work resulted in more than 2,400 applications and 364 captures. The two teams are credited with the seizure of more than $3 million in [ more K-9 page 10 ]

In their final debate Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene and Republican challenger Pedro Celis didn’t break any new ground or exchange withering verbal punches.

They did highlight their differences on issues ranging from the U.S. response to the Ebola outbreak and the ISIS threat to immigration reform, the minimum wage and a state initiative for universal background checks of gun-buyers.

The hour-long debate, in the Microsoft Conference Center, was a coming home of sorts for the candidates, who are both former Microsoft employees. A crowd of about 150 people watched the event, which was hosted by Seattle City Club and was to be televised Wednesday night on KCTS-TV. DelBene is seeking a second term representing the 1st Congressional District, which stretches from suburbs in northeast King County [ more DEBATE page 8 ]

Police urge residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity Burglars hit homes in Redmond’s Overlake district; police urge residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity Since June, there have been 19 residential burglaries in the Overlake district, according to the Redmond Police Department (RPD).

All of the incidents were weekday, daytime burglaries occurring between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., but likely occurring between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Method of entry for the majority of these burglaries has been through window smashes, either sliding glass doors, garage windows or windows next to doors in order to access the door locks.

In a couple of incidents, residents have been home and spoken to a suspicious person who asked for someone who did not live at the residence.

Detectives are following up with leads related to the use of stolen checks from one of the burglaries and are working to provide suspect descriptions.

Fingerprints recovered at the scene have been sent to the King County Automated Fingerprint Identification System.

RPD would like to remind citizens to call in any suspicious activity as it is happening, especially if they receive a knock on the door from a stranger asking for someone unknown to them. Contact RPD at (425) 556-2500.

Reporter becomes speaker at Girls Unlimited event As reporters, our job is to do just that.

Report. We attend events, meet with local business owners and schools and learn about community issues to write the news.

Rarely is the notebook on the other side and do we make the news.

For the most part, that’s the way I like it. I have no desire to be in the spotlight, which is why I chose to go into print and not broadcast journalism. Through my job, I have been able to go places, do things and meet people I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to without my press pass.

But there are times, I’ll admit, when I wish I could be a participant rather than just an observer. Every now and then, as I run around, armed with a pen and reporter’s notebook in my hands and camera around my neck, I imagine what it would be like to attend an event without worrying about having to interview people or take pictures.

Sometimes, I’ll cover an event, organization or program and wish I could be a part of it or — especially in covering schools and youth programs — wish there was something like this around when I was younger.

Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to have such an opportunity as I was a speaker for the City of Redmond’s fall Girls Unlimited event. This year’s theme was “Learn, Inspire, Empower,” which made it a great honor when Ken Wong, the city’s teen program administrator, asked if I would speak.

I wasn’t sure exactly what I had to offer the girls — who ranged from middle school to high school aged — but I gave it a shot and I gave it my best. I shared with the girls how Samantha Pak

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK

OPINION

[4] October 17, 2014

I got my start in journalism and the ups and downs I’ve experienced throughout my career. I also shared with them my bookworm ways, my fondness for hip-hop dancing and a bit of my history as a competitive gymnast.

Having been one myself, I know how difficult it can be for a teenaged girl to put yourself out there and say what’s on your mind.

It’s a time when all you want to do is fit in with everyone else, and the idea of meeting new people and being in an environment where you don’t know everyone and whether they will like you is scary.

So when the young ladies at Girls Unlimited asked me questions, answered some I had for them and even shared personal stories and experiences from their own lives, I was proud of them — even though I had only met them that afternoon.

In addition to meeting so many awesome young ladies, I also met four amazing women who also spoke at the event: Trish Millines Dziko, Jenny Kuglin, Maris McEdward and Anh Vo. “It is always great to see how excited the

participants are when they get to hear from female professionals that they can look up to,” Wong said. “This is great that we have positive female role models that come and share their story with our young women.”

Those stories ranged from working to bring technology to underserved communities and advising newsrooms around the country on best social media practices, to sharing one of the biggest tech company’s stories with the world and consulting businesses in leadership and team building.

Needless to say, I was intimidated to find myself in such impressive company.

The goal of Saturday’s Girls Unlimited event may have been to have the girls leave feeling that they learned, were inspired and feeling empowered, but I have to say, I was right there with them.

And as much as I love my job and love reporting the news in Redmond, it was also great to be a part of the Girls Unlimited and really feel like a true part of a community I have been covering for four years.

Thanks, Redmond Fred Meyer customers I am the last original cashier at the Redmond Fred Meyer store, which opened in November 2002, and I’m moving to another location.

I started working there two months before the store welcomed you folks in to shop. I am honored to have been instrumental in its birth, growth and development. But what I’m really honored by is the beautiful, warm reception I personally received from you dear Redmond shoppers — and your children — as I tried to serve you well as your cashier. I cannot fully express my gratitude for how warmly and lovingly you embraced this smalltown boy from Michigan.

I know that I touched some of your hearts, but you’ll never know how deeply you touched mine during my years there on the job. I did not know Redmond all that well before 2002, other than that it was there. I surely was not aware of the great number of beautiful souls who dwelt there.

Thank you so much for revealing yourselves to me. I have wanted to bring just a little more happiness into your lives, just a little more lightness to your hearts, not just as customers, but mainly

as person-to-person caring and sharing.

I’m not seeking praise here. If you saw a bit of good in me, it’s only because you have so much in your own heart. If you sensed genuineness in me, I give that credit to my very healthy upbringing in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and my first 37 years of life there. Back there, a child learns to live honestly, work hard and not to pretend to be “someone you ain’t,” because everyone knows you and your family anyway, so you “ain’t gettin’ away with it!”

If I had one bit of advice or encouragement I could leave with you, it would be this: As you go about your busy lives, you will encounter many strangers — most with downcast looks on their faces or stressed-out expressions. Please say a cheery “Hello!” and show them a truly warm smile, OK? Any city’s face will look even brighter if more of us could do that. Redmond folks do it better than I dreamed I’d find there. But I still have seen a need for more uplift of spirits.

Thank you again for the love, support and loyalty that many of you have shown me over the past 12 years. I will miss seeing and visiting with many of you.

Darnell’s first responsibility is to her district, not party A recent poll showed that 42 percent of Americans do not identify with either major party. It is to these independents — the people looking for more than just a ‘D’ or an ‘R’ next to a candidate’s name on a ballot — that I write.

As an independent, I enter each election season with increasing frustration toward both major parties. Despite this, I always retain hope that I can find a reasonable candidate to support in state elections (usually a Democrat).

This election, that candidate is Michelle Darnell, running for State Senate in the 48th Legislative District.

While Darnell holds conservative positions on spending and taxation, she is socially tolerant, and her views on corporations and banks are reminiscent of Elizabeth Warren’s. Unafraid to disagree with, and even criticize, members of the Republican party, her responses to questions of policy often include the phrase “I am willing to compromise” (not rhetoric one expects from a zealous partisan). Above all, Darnell leaves no [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

October 17, 2014 [5]

www.redmond-reporter.com [ Letters from page 4] doubt that her first responsibility is to her district, not her party.

I hope you will support Darnell for state senator; she possesses integrity, aptitude and genuine willingness to discuss the issues. More importantly, I hope you will research both candidates, instead of letting a single letter on a ballot decide for you.

Tom Pandolfo Redmond

This election is important for our community As a candidate challenging for a seat in the State House of Representatives, I would like to take just a few moments of your time before ballots arrive and remind you how important this election cycle is to our community. Even with the vast amounts of media we consume each day, I realize that not everyone is tuned in to local politics. Equally, many are turned off by politics altogether.

Let me assure you, though, there are a number of very important issues the Legislature will address next year that will significantly impact your life. Just last month, our state’s Office of Financial Management warned the Legislature that there would be a budget shortfall of at least $1 billion. This estimate doesn’t include any additional education funding mandated by the state Supreme Court under the McCleary decision, nor does it anticipate the passage of I-1351, which will mandate smaller class sizes and cost an estimated additional $3.5 billion. Although Washington’s economy has been slowly picking up strength, and state tax revenues are projected to increase by 8 percent during the last biennium, state spending is again expected to rise even faster, requiring tough budget decisions by our legislators.

The chronic underfunding of education that recently drove the Supreme Court to hold the Legislature in contempt is not a problem that arose overnight. Inadequate education funding and other problems, like rapidly rising college tuition and higher property taxes, have only been getting worse. Yet, the 45th Legislative District has re-elected the same two state representatives for nearly a decade.

If you aren’t already too

cynical about politicians and want to simply throw your ballot in the trash, please ask yourself this question — “What success stories can I look to from our current state representatives and do they have the independence and political courage to make the tough decisions that we face in 2015?” If history is a good indicator of the future, the answer is probably “no.”

Voters should not allow longtime, incumbent politicians to be so comfortable in their positions to think they can safely impose a state income tax to cover their spending. Although some can afford to pay higher taxes, many can’t.

So before you vote, please try to tune out the ideological bickering you’ve heard over the past few months. If you’re not satisfied with the way Olympia is functioning, stop voting for the same name or party year after year. Try something new and be vocal about the obvious need for change.

You probably don’t believe it, but Olympia does belong to you. I would be honored to get your vote.

For those of you who are tired of receiving political mailers, robo-calls and being harassed by canvassers and numerous organizations this campaign season, please consider this a public service announcement: Mail your ballots in early! It is important that you vote, but the added benefit is that the earlier you send in your ballot, the sooner all of the voter contact will stop from both parties.

Joel Hussey Redmond

Editor’s note, Joel Hussey is a candidate for state representative, Position 1 from the 45th Legislative District.

We need Hill ‘back to work for us’ Like many of us in this community, I’ve had kids in the public school system and really value having high quality schools for my children. In following state politics for the last several years, I’m very impressed with the work that Sen. Andy Hill (R, 45th Legislative District) is doing in Olympia.

Education hasn’t been funded properly for some time, but for years no one actually offered solutions or did the work to prioritize the education budget.

Hill was appointed budget chair in 2013 and that same year he wrote and passed a

budget that increased the education budget by $1 billion and actually reversed a decades-long trend of non-education outpacing education by 2-to-1. What’s more, it passed with almost 90 percent support of the Legislature. And no new taxes!

We have some great schools in our community because we have worked hard to provide that for our kids. It seems to me like Hill is one of the few in Olympia who really understands what it takes to put our kids first like we do.

That’s why I think we need him back to work for us.

Steve Reed Redmond

Sen. Hill’s education claims are deceptive Sen. Andy Hill hasn’t done as much for education as he claims.

Claim 1: $1 billion for K-12 education added without accounting gimmicks or tricks.

First, more than half of the additional money that was put into K-12 this last biennium came from onetime sources, which will be gone next year.

Second, Sen. Hill orchestrated a complicated swap, taking hundreds of millions of dollars out of the Public Works Trust Account and moving it to education accounts. He then back-filled just a portion of that infrastructure funding with $155 million worth of bonds to be paid over 25 years at 4 percent interest. Essentially, instead of working to find a stable source of funding for education, he led us to accrue long-term debt on an annual operating expense.

Here’s another way to think of it: Preschoolers today will be paying for this year’s K-12 spending after they have graduated from college. I think most people would agree that is an accounting trick!

Claim 2: Added $4 to education for every $1 of non-education spending increases This refers to the supplemental budget passed in March 2014, which added an additional $58 million to education. This sounds like a lot of money, but unfortunately, it equals just 1 percent of the amount required by the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision, which requires the legislature to increase education funding by $4-5 billion per biennium. Fifty-eight million is just a drop in the bucket. [ more letters page 6 ]

These are Sen. Hill’s education accomplishments.

His leadership in the Senate has failed our children. The Senate failed to chart a plan to adequately fund education by 2019, and it now stands in contempt of the State Supreme Court. Sen. Hill does not deserve our vote for another term!

This November, we have an opportunity to close the loophole that allows dangerous criminals to buy guns online or at a gun show without a background check by voting “yes” on Initiative 594.

Currently in Washington, gun sales at one of the state’s more than 1,100 federally licensed dealers — like Cabela’s, Walmart and local gun stores — go through background checks to ensure felons, domestic abusers and the seriously mentally ill can’t obtain a gun. But these same individuals can buy a gun at a gun show or from a stranger they met online without a background check. Initiative 594 would close this loophole.

In a Sept. 12 Reporter letter to the editor, Dan Michael of Woodinville claimed that “criminals will be criminals” no matter what laws we pass. His opinion is that, since Initiative 594 won’t stop all criminals from getting guns, we shouldn’t pass it. That’s like saying that we should abolish traffic laws because some people still speed. It is simplistic to suggest that criminals will always break laws and that changing the laws won’t change anyone’s behavior.

Furthermore, background checks are effective at reducing crime. In states with background checks on all handgun sales, there are 39 percent fewer law enforcement deaths by handguns and 38 percent fewer women are murdered by their intimate partners with handguns. Additionally, the background checks we already have in Washington have been effective at blocking more than 40,000 gun sales to prohibited purchasers since 1998. More than 6,000 of these were potential sales to domestic abusers, and more than 24,000 were potential sales to felons. Why not ensure these same individuals

can’t evade a background check and obtain a gun at a gun show or online?

Michael goes on to argue that the gun show loophole doesn’t exist, citing the fact that Washington Arms Collectors (WAC) requires a membership to buy guns at their shows. That membership does require an initial background check, but WAC is far from the only gun show promoter in Washington, and the rest have no such membership requirement. What Michael doesn’t point out is that an individual could pass a WAC background check and later have a restraining order taken out against them. They could still purchase a firearm at WAC gun shows across Washington because background checks aren’t required at the point of sale. By requiring a background check at the point of sale, we can help prevent dangerous people from buying guns at a gun show.

I’m not suggesting that Initiative 594 will magically fix the problem of gun violence. But it’s a thoughtful step and it’s a law worth passing. We have an opportunity in November to make our communities safer. I urge you to vote “yes” on Initiative 594.

Brian Anderson Redmond

Open I-594 to the light of day While I certainly can understand a previous Reporter letter writer’s passionate pleas for the passage of Initiative 594 from her perspective, she is sadly misinformed or indifferent to what the 18-page initiative actually says.

It is packaged in the “Well, why wouldn’t anyone want to make things safer by having background checks?” camouflage to deceive the voters in to believing it. Crime statistics (those not doctored by the anti-gun crowd) show that crime is not reduced by increasing those checks and the vast majority of gun sales for both rifles and pistols are already done with a check already and criminals are not dissuaded by them. We don’t need new laws and more abridging of personal freedoms in this manner.

The answer is to address mental illness effectively and to simply enforce the existing laws on the books while requiring existing databases to talk to each other.

More than $1.4 million was put into this initiative by

Michael Bloomberg. He is a hardcore anti-gun rabble rouser who has made it his personal crusade to end gun ownership.

Most city mayors across the country who signed on to his Mayors Against Gun Violence organization have fled the organization once they found out his real agenda and its radical bent.

I-594 is literally a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is poorly or deceptively written and what is there is dubious in its language to as to open the door for future gun control efforts by simply interpreting the language in accordance with an antigun perspective.

An example in the 18page initiate is the “machine gun” provision. First of all the initiative framers don’t understand the simple difference between a “clip” and a “magazine.” Secondly, it has the statement in that provision that if five rounds or more can be fired in one second, then it meets the definition of a “machine gun.” You can take a popular small caliber semi-automatic rifle like the Ruger .22 caliber Model 10/22 and you can fire at least five rounds from it in one second by rapidly pulling and releasing the trigger. So it would be a machine gun.

Really? That’s inane beyond belief?

The initiative is chock full of misnomers and potential violations. I-594 criminalizes ordinary behaviors of gun owners; if you allowed a friend on your private land to hold and fire your weapon you would be committing a crime because it wasn’t on a licensed gun range and you didn’t transfer the weapon to him.

The same would apply if you loaned your gun to someone so they could go hunting on their own.

The required waiting time for these checks would be dramatically increased just to penalize buyers. This initiative is so bad that the largest law enforcement organization in the state, the Washington Association of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS), opposes the initiative and has published their objections to include: that they do not believe that I-594 will keep guns out of the hands of the criminal or the mentally ill. WACOPS believes such persons will continue to ignore the law and engage in black market transactions. That responsibility for enforcing this law — conducting background checks, investigating and arresting citizens [ more letters page 7 ]

King County Elections mails ballots

www.sammamishmontessori.com

Citizens not yet registered to vote in Washington state have until 4:30 p.m. Oct. 27 to register in person at King County Elections offices to vote in the primary election: • King County Elections 919 S.W. Grady Way Renton Open weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

• King County Voter Registration Annex 500 4th Ave. Room 440 Seattle Open weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2-4:30 p.m.

for enforcement — and that if it does, it is an infringement on the privacy rights of gun owners.

The Washington State Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor Association (WSLEFIA) opposes the initiative, stating that I-594 “is a law that will be impossible to police, intended to criminalize only good citizens, a costly misdirection of scarce Law Enforcement resources and funds, and a statute so broadly written that many of your own activities will become

crimes.”

This is a terrible initiative hiding behind a Pollyanna feel good façade. Please be an informed voter and ignore the hype stated for supporting I-594. Take the time to read the 18 pages, objectively listen to the arguments of the groups lining up against this and realize I-594 for what it is, a terrible piece of proposed legislation and just another end around move against individual freedoms.

King County Elections mailed ballots on Wednesday to nearly 1.2 million registered voters for the Nov. 4 general election.

King County Elections has forecast a turnout of 62 percent for this election.

Voters will receive two voters’ pamphlets this election, one from the state and one from King County Elections. Voters’ pamphlets are mailed separately and may arrive on a different day than ballots.

There are five statewide measures (three initiatives and two advisory votes) on ballots this election, along with 10 measures from various local jurisdictions.

There are 140 candidates and 90 offices in the general election.

Furthermore they note that a debate exists whether I-594 would create a state registry of guns and that WACOPS holds that if it does not, the background check is useless

omitted nearly all industry-standard methods for building homes to withstand our wet weather. And, even after its first homes suffered from various forms of water intrusion due to the substandard construction, Shea refused to tell its customers of the problems and continued building new homes with the same defects.” The lawsuit alleges that Shea “cut out crucial weather-proofing methods that all responsible Northwest architects and builders include in their homes,” ignoring code requirements, industry norms and its own submitted and approved plans, as a way to increase profits.

Berman told the Reporter that the amount varies from home to home, but homeowners have incurred anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 in damages.

Trilogy resident Dale Stirn, said the damages to his and his wife’s home will cost them about $5,000 to $6,000 but this is because as someone who works in construction, he or his company has been able to do the work themselves. If they had to hire people to do the work — like many of their fellow residents — it would have cost them anywhere between $15,000 and $20,000.

Stirn said the damage his home incurred have included rotting column bases and damaged window trims, the latter of which they discovered while repainting their home.

“It’s all been caused by water damage,” Stirn said.

He said he and his wife soon became aware that their neighbors were dealing with similar issues, as well, and it didn’t take them long to figure out that a fair number of people were having problems.

According to the complaint, some of the damages homeowners have experienced include “garage floors that need pea gravel

Celis said he didn’t feel the problem was being “addressed properly.” Afterward, he elaborated, saying

A HISTORY OF LAWSUITS

The complaint also alleges that Shea conducted secret investigations into rotting homes as far back as 2007. According to the complaint, these investigations concluded that columns on hundreds of Trilogy homes were rotting internally from the day they were built and that other wooden elements were rotting and detaching from houses. During this time, Shea allegedly told homeowners that the problems were not construction related, but were due to inadequate homeowner maintenance.

In the press release, Dave von Beck of Levy–von Beck said, “This isn’t the first time Shea has been accused of trying to deceive homeowners. Shea has been sued twice before for violations of the Consumer Protection Act due to concealed defects at Trilogy at Redmond Ridge.”

A class-action lawsuit seeking damages for mold was filed in 2010. Shea settled it in 2011.

A second class action came against Shea in 2012.

“Shea’s track record is piling up, and it has recently scheduled meetings with homeowners in what we see as a belated attempt to salvage its reputation and avoid paying damages,” von Beck said in the press release.

“We believe that this latest strategy is no more reliable than the weatherproofing on Shea’s homes — it is too little, too late.”

As of the Reporter’s deadline, Shea didn’t respond to an email regarding the past lawsuits. support of a House bill to improve border security and provide a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants already in the country. That bill did not get voted on in the Republican-controlled chamber.

Celis reiterated his call for policies that open the doors wider to legal immigrants but maintain “high fences” to keep out those who would enter illegally.

DelBene challenged Celis to be more specific — whether he would have supported the House bill. Celis didn’t answer that question, but he did say he favors allowing more foreign workers and helping those brought here illegally as children to seek citizenship.

he thinks the U.S. is “taking risks that are unnecessary,” such as allowing flights into the country from West Africa.

On the threat of ISIS, Celis said the president should not have ruled out the use of ground troops.

Celis didn’t endorse sending troops now but said the president has eliminated the option, and ground troops might be needed.

“I think he needs to decide if he wants to win the war or not,” Celis said.

DelBene voted to support Obama’s plan to train moderate Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. The president should not send U.S. troops until Congress has a “full debate” on the matter, she said.

The 52-year-old Medina resident, who is a former mid-level Microsoft executive, said she deserves another term because she’s fulfilled her pledge to seek bipartisan solutions to problems.

Despite the issues he and his wife and their neighbors are facing, Stirn said there is nowhere else he would rather live.

repairs around his house himself or with the help of his company, many at Trilogy have to hire someone to do the work — either because they don’t know how to do the work or they are unable to.

“They are not physically capable of doing the work even if they know how to do the work,” he said, adding that dealing with all the damages can be overwhelming.

Berman added in a press release issued by Hagens Berman, “We believe that what Shea Homes has done to outright ignore building codes and the well-being of innocent homeowners is inexcusable. This widespread faulty construction and deception alleged in the complaint has led to what we believe may be the largest lawsuit ever brought in Washington in terms of the number of plaintiffs seeking damages on an individual basis against a homebuilder.”

Berman told the Reporter that the plaintiffs are particularly impacted by the damages as most of them are on a fixed income and can’t afford to shell out the thousands of dollars it would cost to repair their homes.

“They want to get their homes fixed and they want Shea to pay for it,” he said about the plaintiffs’ goal of the lawsuit. “No one wants their home rotting away.”

According to the prepared statement from Shea, the homebuilder is “continuing to successfully work directly with (the) homeowners to resolve any issues they may have with their homes.” Shea began working with individual homeowners several weeks ago, giving the company an opportunity to “address a number of issues raised by homeowners and to outline an approach to inspect their homes and resolve their issues in a timely manner.”

OVERLAKE SCHOOL

Seniors Rachel Teper and Nicholas (Cole) Tsang of The Overlake School were recently recognized as semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program.

This award is the result of their scoring in the 99 percentile on the PSAT test in November 2013.

There were more than 1.5 million students who took the PSAT and only 16,000 scores in the 99 percentile, which represents less than 1 percent of all high school seniors across the country.

Teper and Tsang now have the opportunity to compete for scholarships from both colleges and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

This competition includes the students submitting a detailed scholarship application that includes a written essay, information about their academic record, participation in Overlake school activities as well as community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment and honors and awards received.

National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced this spring.

With over 20 years of legal experience as a prosecutor, private civil attorney, pro tem judge, and now on the NE District Court bench, Judge Shah has a record as an exceptional and distinguished judge.

narcotics and $2.5 million in cash.

“During his tenure as a handler, Sam and his two K-9 partners are responsible for hundreds of arrests of criminals who may have gone free if it were not for his skill and professionalism,” Gibson said.

Hovenden said police dogs’ abilities allow them to do things their human counterparts cannot such as locating drugs, explosives and people using their sense of smell. In addition, he said the dogs can act as a buffer between him and any danger.

“He is protection for me,” said Hovenden.

Gibson added, “The K-9 unit is a valuable tool that helps to keep our officers safe. The police K-9 team can assist in searching buildings and open field areas for suspects that are hiding from officers. The K-9 officer and his partner work as a team to locate criminal suspects who are hiding from the police. They are able to locate suspects that officers would not be able to locate if it were not for the assistance of a trained K-9 team.”

Despite the dogs’ abilities, Hovenden said they never become more mature than a 7-year-old, so it is like the officers are bringing a child to work with them. As a result, he said officers who work with police dogs must be able to read their partners’ behavior and cues and be very clear on what they need the dogs to do. Hovenden said the breakdown between an officer — sometimes referred to as a handler — and his canine partner often happens when the person’s instructions are not clear to the dog.

THE RIGHT DOG FOR THE JOB

Hovenden said police dogs

usually begin training when they are about a year old, though it depends on their maturity and ability to do the job. He said they also typically use male dogs for police dogs because females are usually used for breeding.

Police dogs are also typically German Shepherds and Hovenden said this is because they are a proven breed. They are intelligent, physical, athletic and can handle the tasks that come with patrolling. But Hovenden said German Shepherds are also social dogs and this helps as K-9 units are also used in community outreach, meaning they come in contact with people and children often.

Another breed that is sometimes used for police dogs is the Belgian Malinois, which is like a smaller version of the German Shepherd.

The span of a police dog’s career depends on his health.

Monty was Hovenden’s partner from the time he was about 18 months until he was 8 and a half years old when he died of cancer. Hovenden worked with Vader from the time the dog was 2 years old to 9 and a half years old.

Hovenden said he and Vader retired out of the K-9 unit last month because at that point, the dog was on borrowed time due to his age.

In addition, Hovenden said it was also time to let other officers within the department have the opportunity to work in the unit.

HELPING THE COMMUNITY

Hovenden said he chose to go into law enforcement because growing up, he looked up to the police officers in his community. In addition, when he was 19 years old, he spent time out of the country and witnessed a lot of violence and saw how police work could be

a way to help people. For the service-minded Hovenden, this was very appealing.

Through his job as a police officer and through the K-9 unit, Hovenden said some of the calls that stand out for him are the ones in which he and Monty or Vader were able to apprehend suspects who had been hiding and probably wouldn’t have been found otherwise. He said one type of scenario in which catching a suspect has been particularly satisfying is in the case of domestic violence calls.

Hovenden said being able to let a victim know that the person who hurt them has been caught and will not be coming back is a great feeling.

He said working with undercover units to help catch career criminals as well as on true crimes of violence have been very special, as well.

RETIRED LIFE

As pack animals, dogs need to bond with their partner so during downtime and days off, Hovenden said police dogs live with their handler.

While at home, he said they are like any other house pet. The dogs are trained to understand when it is time to work. These cues range from putting on a special harness to seeing their handler wearing their uniform to getting into the police car.

Now that he is no longer in the K-9 unit, Hovenden said he is working on adjusting to being back on the graveyard patrol shift, which is where he started with RPD. And he is not the only one adjusting. Hovenden said Vader is still not used to the retired life. Having spent seven of his nine-plus years working, Hovenden said Vader often gets worked up and barks around the time they usually would go to work.

Advances in joint replacement GUEST COLUMN

ProOrtho MIS-navigated total knee-replacement study Research has demonstrated that experienced surgeons using traditional methods of knee-replacement surgery have limited success in properly balancing and aligning knee replacements.

Additionally, the majority of knee replacements today are still done using traditional techniques with 12-inch incisions, significant surgical dissection, disruption of the quadriceps mechanism and full dislocation of the knee.

ProOrtho doctors

invasive knee-replacement surgery?

MIS total knee replacement focuses on smaller instruments, less soft tissue disruption and gentler methods in an effort to allow easier recovery and better range of motion after knee replacement. With the MIScomputer-navigated techniques, surgeons at ProOrtho can replace a knee joint with a four-inch cut versus the standard 12-inch incision.

Research done at ProOrtho and at other institutions has shown that MIS techniques decrease pain, blood loss, complications, rehabilitation and time in the hospital after knee replacement.

Robin Fuchs, Jeff Stickney and myself will be formally evaluating outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), utilizing MIS (minimally invasive surgery) computer-assisted techniques in normal risk and high risk patients. Data will be collected at pre-operative, operative, discharge and at two-month post-operative intervals. Patients involved in the study will undergo a thorough preoperative teaching program, and have their knee replacement performed by experts in MIS-navigated techniques, utilize state-ofthe-art knee replacement implants and postoperative pain management methods.

They will learn and follow a rapid rehabilitation program.

Their evaluations will include details of their pain control, range of motion, return to activities and overall patient satisfaction. The information help set the stage for safe improvement in kneereplacement surgery.

The advantages of computer-assisted surgery While some hospitals perform computer-assisted surgery, and still others use MIS techniques, surgeons at ProOrtho combine both technologies. With computer-assisted joint replacement, ProOrtho surgeons

use a 3D computer imaging system that allows them to see the unique anatomy and mechanics of each patient’s joint, make precise surgical cuts and review alignment and range of motion with the implant in place before leaving the operating room.

Computer-assisted surgery allows for better visualization of anatomy with less need for exposure, which is particularly important when minimally-invasive techniques are used.

There are several potential benefits for those who have surgery with MIS-computernavigated techniques, including: • May increase the life of your replacement • Reduces the risk of dislocation and revision surgery • Results in greater stability and range of motion • Helps improve the overall function of your joint replacement • Reduced blood loss during surgery, which lessens the need for a blood transfusion • Faster recovery • Reduced length of your hospital stay • Shorter post-operative physical rehabilitation • Less scarring The result is a more precise alignment of the implant, which give patients a knee that is better aligned and will last longer.

Health benefits of olive oil Most people know that olive oil is good for you, but do you know why?

The properties of olive oil are such that they give the body nourishment and disease prevention in the form of mono-unsaturated fat (MUFA) and polyphenols.

Polyphenols decrease heart disease risk factors by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, reducing blood clotting and improving the health of artery linings. The polyphenols are the factor [ more HEALTH page 16]

Taking some things into your own hands She is your mother, your daughter, your sister, your wife, or she is you — breast cancer survivors are all around us. This disease is the second most common kind of cancer in American women; one in eight women will develop it during her lifetime, and it will be the cause of death of one in thirty-six. That is why October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month makes the headlines.

Two things are clearly indicated by breast cancer

E

research. Lifestyle plays an important part in prevention and recovery, and breast cancer screening can catch the disease early and increase chances of survival after diagnosis. Every woman can take matters into her own hands when it comes to those factors.

Since the early 2000s, the incidence of breast cancer has been on a downward trend, largely because of mammography, breast cancer screening programs, and less use of hormone replace-

ment therapy in postmenopausal women. It is essential to talk to your doctor about a breast cancer screening program suitable for your age and risk factors.

What’s more, a study presented at the 2014 European Breast Cancer Conference confirmed that getting an hour or more of exercise every day increased women’s chances of escaping the disease. And that was found to be the case regardless of age or weight, meaning it is never too late to get active.

Another 2014 study, this one from the National Cancer Institute, shows that eating a healthier diet increased the chances of postmenopausal women’s recovery after diagnosis.

Choosing more servings of fruits and vegetables and reducing saturated fats is something that every woman can do, every day.

verything you need to to eat healthier.

Kato qualifies for state Redmond High School freshman golfer Sean Kato qualified for state with a second-place finish at the 4A District 2 Tournament on Wednesday at Snohomish Golf Course.

He finished with a two-day 71-68-139, one stroke behind champion Kelley Sullivan from Skyline High School, who shot 69-69-138.

Kato was the only Mustang to make the cut of eight to qualify for state, which will take place May 27-28 at Creek at Qualchan in Spokane. Kato, who medaled in every league match this season, was the only freshman to qualify for state.

Redmond senior Justin Cook won a three-person, sudden-death playoff to finish 12th overall (76-77-153) and earn the fourth alternate spot to state.

In the team standings, Redmond took third (34 points) behind Skyline (51.8 points) and first-place Issaquah (67.6 points). Redmond stood in second place after the first day of play on Tuesday.

Also competing for Redmond this week were junior Liam Jaffe, sophomore Michael Cummings and freshmen Connor Golembeski and Dylan Howe.

Ashley Graham has bounced her way back home.

As a Redmond High School (RHS) basketball star, the 2003 graduate was the 4A Kingco Conference most valuable player her senior year and started at point guard for three seasons with the Mustangs.

This season, Graham steps into the head coach’s position and aims to bring the Mustang program back to prominence.

During her RHS days, the team won three state tro-

phies and finished second in 2001.

The Mustangs haven’t notched a winning record for five years. Kim Gervasoni, head coach for the last two years, resigned to spend more time with her family, according to RHS athletic director John Appelgate.

“I’m really excited about it. My family still lives down the road from the school. It’s a family atmosphere here,” Graham, 29, said. “I want to get them working hard every day and focusing on improving. I’ve already put a lot of hard work into it by working with the select players all summer long.”

Added Appelgate: “We are confident that coach Graham’s knowledge of the game, commitment to the community and com-

passion for our student athletes will continue to propel Redmond High School girls basketball in a positive direction both athletically and academically.”

Graham played her college ball at Santa Clara University and competed professionally in Europe for six seasons. She is the owner and director of Pinnacle Hoops and formerly coached with the Puget Sound Flight Basketball Club.

Graham, who played ball in Romania last season, says she’s looking forward to taking on her new role and doesn’t know if she’ll return to the pro ranks.

“It’s hard for any athlete to put their shoes up for good,” she said with a laugh.

Debu sets another world record Two titles for race-car owner

Amber Debu runs with her father, Marc, around the Redmond High School track in August.

Reporter file photo

Redmond’s Amber Debu set a new world record for an 8-year-old girl running a half marathon at last Saturday’s Fall City Half Marathon.

According to race organizer Sean Sundwall, Debu ran the 13.1-mile race in 1:47:11, besting the old record by nearly seven minutes.

In August, Debu set a world record for an 8-yearold girl running a 10K race with a mark of 46:49 at the Railroad Days 10K fun run in Snoqualmie.

Redmond Cycle manager Brian Estrin is also a racecar owner and snagged two championships last month.

Driver Mike Holden of Snohomish guided the NASCAR Whelen AllAmerican Series car to the Washington state title and the Super Late Model crown at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe.

Estrin not only owns the car — he is also the crew chief and finance and marketing manager.

Forty years ago, his uncle, Roger Estrin, won a figure-8 championship; and 30 years ago, the driver’s father, Rob Holden, notched a super-stock title. Both those titles also took place in September, close to the same days as the recent crowns.

Estrin runs L.B. Motor Sports and has a Snohomish shop, where he builds and maintains cars.

The olive oil types had a concentration of polyphenols ranging from 2.7 mg/ kg of olive oil (low-type) to 366 mg/kg (high) in the olive oils.” The higher the polyphenols, the more effect on the cholesterol levels the oil had.

Many things contribute to the polyphenol quantities in the oil.

Sunlight, rainfall, variety of olive, soils and the method of harvesting can all produce an effect, resulting in the increase or decrease of polyphenols in the end product. For instance, rough handling of the harvested olives can reduce the polyphenols. Green olives contain much more polyphenols, but when pressed for oil, the quantity of oil is less.

The popular Mediterranean Diet has proven

over the years to work well helping folks regain a healthy lifestyle. Finding high polyphenol oil is not as easy as grabbing a bottle from the shelf at the grocery. Few if any labels will provide chemistry information and many oils have been adulterated with other oil and chemicals to make it appear and taste a certain way to maintain consistency. University of California, Davis has an entire department dedicated to the study of olives and their oil production. In addition, there are many books now available detailing the olive’s role in history and health.

RHS graduates form startup that makes student housing simple, transparent Special to the Reporter

Redmond High School (RHS) 2010 graduates Thomas Cote, Alex Horstmann and Paul Burke are founders of RentHoop, a startup that makes student housing simple and transparent.

Cote, the CEO, and Burke, the vice president of marketing, were Washington state finalists in the annual DECA business competition while attending RHS. Burke praises the RHS DECA program and teachers for preparing them for the business world.

“The amount of realworld education you are taught in Grace Brady and Tom Bunnell’s classes are unreal. We were very blessed to have learned from such seasoned business professionals,” he said.

Cote, who graduated

CITY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR TOURISM GRANTS

The City of Redmond will accept applications for its 2015 Tourism Promotion Program Matching Grants through Oct. 31 at 5 p.m.

Applicants may be cultural, historical, educational, sports or community organizations.

The grants, which help fund projects that stimulate tourism in Redmond, are paid by a portion of the onepercent sales tax on hotel rooms located in Redmond. Grants may not

from Western Washington University (WWU) with a bachelor of science degree in manufacturing supply chain management last April, came up with the idea for RentHoop after going through the rental process twice.

“I felt like it was more complicated of a process than it had to be and that there must be an easier way to facilitate that process,” Cote said.

After searching for a better solution to common problems students face during their housing experience, Cote came up empty-handed.

“Landlords run background checks, credit checks and call references to vet tenants, but tenants have no way to vet the landlord. We think it should be a two-way street. We’re

exceed 50 percent of the cost of the project.

The Redmond Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will evaluate qualifying applications on a competitive basis, using the official tourism promotion funding criteria and will forward recommendations to the mayor and City Council for approval. City Council will award the grants in January 2015.

For more information, call (425) 5562444 or email knolz@redmond.gov.

Applications are available through the City of Redmond’s website www. redmond.gov/TourismGrant.

giving tenants the ability to rate their housing experience with their landlord and share that with other renters,” Cote said.

In addition to providing transparency to student housing, RentHoop will help students manage their relationship with roommates as they provide tools that make it easy to find housing, pay rent online and split costs and chores.

RentHoop — which also

features Kyle Werttemberger on its team — launched a beta version of its website to students and landlords at WWU this year and received strong enough feedback to pursuit working on RentHoop full time.

Cote added, “Our goal is to make RentHoop a national brand that makes the rental process more simple and transparent for renters.”

Call: 800-388-2527 Fax: 360-598-6800 Go online: nw-ads.com NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
