Former JHS students involved in assault playing football againBY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

Two of the Juanita High School (JHS) students charged with assault-

ing a special needs student in the school locker room last year are listed on football rosters for other schools in the Lake Washington School District, with a third listed

on the football roster at an-other school district in King County. One of the guardians of a defendant in the case is claiming that the incident was, in part, the result of an uncurtailed culture of hazing at the high school.

� e Reporter has learned that one of the remaining suspects, who is scheduled for trial in October for

second-degree attempted rape, is on the football roster at Lake Washington High School. � e another suspect is attending Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie and listed on their football roster. � e defendant had a hearing scheduled yesterday, a� er the Reporter’s print deadline.

Another student is attend-ing Eastlake High School in

Sammamish. He pleaded guilty to third-degree assault in August along with two other defendants. � e student was initially on the EHS foot-ball roster but his name is no longer listed on the website. � e Reporter discovered the student was attending the school and playing basket-ball last winter. During that academic year, the defendant

was also recognized by the school for his academics, ef-fort and/or citizenship.

� e Reporter was unable to determine if the other two students, who pled guilty to third degree assault, are play-ing football elsewhere.

All � ve of the former JHS C-team football players were initially charged with second-degree attempted rape for

trying to sodomize a special-needs student on Oct. 22 as part of hazing ritual known as “jubie,” according to court documents.

� e three who pleaded guilty to third-degree assault were sentenced in Juvenile Court to 12 months of com-munity supervision, 48 hours of community service, as well

One defendant, awaiting trial for attempted rape, playing for Lake Washington High School, parent claims incident was a result of hazing culture

New Interim Kirkland Fire Chief Joe Sanford comes from a family of police o� cers. MARIE JENSEN, City of Kirkland

BY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

Growing up in a family of cops that included his dad, four uncles and both his brothers, it seemed logical that Joe Sanford would make a career out of law enforcement. Spending his youth in Seattle, he often met his father’s police partners when they would stop by for lunch, which gave him an inside look at the police world. For years, that was his plan. How-ever, Sanford’s journey turned out different from those men in his family

and it has led him to be named Kirkland’s interim fire chief.

His path took an unexpected turn after he completed a test for the Kirkland Fire Depart-ment in preparation for applying to the police department.

“I kind of fell into that by accident,” he said. “I

thought ‘I’ll take those tests as a practice.’ And Kirkland Fire called me and offered me a job. I really never looked back.”

Despite his family’s legacy in law enforce-ment, Sanford said he has never had second thoughts.

“[It’s] the best job on the planet, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

His family’s work in law enforcement pro-vided him a contrasting perspective when he went out on calls with other firefighters.

If this year’s third annu-al Kirkland Oktoberfest at Marina Park in downtown has a theme, it would be “more of everything.”

The three day authentic München-style Oktober-fest Biergarten, Sept. 25-

27, plans on adding more authentic German cui-sine, imported beers, as well as micro-breweries. They’re also adding more live performances by Ger-man bands including The S-Bahn, Doppelbock, The

Gordanairs, Happy Hans, Smilin’ Scandinavians and the Bavarian Biergarten Band.

Creative Director Rob Butcher said they expect 10,000 people to attend, and that the number has

been doubling each year. “There are a lot of Ok-

King County Council approves Dembowski-sponsored funding for untested rape kits

� e Metropolitan King County Council gave its unanimous approval on Monday to provide $200,000 in funding for sexual assault experts in the King County Sheri� ’s o� ce to identify the exact number of untested rape kits that remain in King County, prioritize those cases for testing and submit them to the State Patrol Crime Laboratory for processing.

“� is is the right thing to do, and as we’ve seen across the country, this work o� en results in arrests and convictions of serial rapists and other criminals,” said Councilmember Rod Dem-bowski, the prime sponsor of the legislation. “It sends a clear message to victims of sexual assault – you mat-ter, what happened to you matters, and we take your

case seriously.”Dembowski is the

representative for north Kirkland.

Rape kits are intended for use immediately a� er a sexual assault has occurred, but once the evidence has been collected, it can sit in storage for years. Across the country, thousands of rape kits – DNA evidence collected by a health care professional a� er a sexual assault – go untested each year. In jurisdictions like New York City, Dallas and Tacoma, the analysis of previously untested rape kits has led to the identi-� cation of new o� enders, linking of serial cases, and exoneration of the wrongly convicted.

� is year, the Washing-ton State Legislature passed House Bill 1068, requir-ing all new rape kits to be submitted for testing to the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory within 30 days of being collected by law enforcement.

“� e goal of this law is two-fold: justice for the victims whose lives were dramatically impacted by sexual violence, and help for law enforcement to catch serial rapists before they strike again,” said Rep. Tina Orwall, sponsor of House Bill 1068.

“With this announce-ment, the leadership in

King County is making a concrete commitment to victims,” said Mary Ellen Stone, Executive Director of the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. “Testing all kits going for-ward as well as addressing past kits sends a clear and positive message to victims that reporting matters. It’s important for victims and it’s important for our com-munity. I encourage other jurisdictions throughout our region to take similar steps.”

Mayors from across the Eastside helped welcome the incoming Leadership Eastside (LE) classes during a luncheon at Cascade Com-munity College in Bothell on Sept. 11. During the lun-cheon, the mayors discussed both their respective cities as well as those of other neigh-boring communities while discussing possible ways to improve both with attendees.

� ose attending included Bothell Mayor Josh Freed, Bellevue Mayor Claudia Bal-ducci, Mercer Island Mayor Bruce Bassett, Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler, Duvall Mayor Will Ibershof, Sno-qualmie Mayor Matt Larson, Redmond Mayor John Mar-chione, Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance and Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen.

LE is a Redmond-based organization that promotes connections between leaders better relations with com-munities on the Eastside.

At the table with Walen, attendees discussed both internal and external issues a� ecting Kirkland, such as inter-city connectivity, improving walkability in the Totem Lake neighborhood and making downtown more appealing to younger Kirk-

land residents. � e attendees also provided positive feed-back on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC), an old rail line that has been turned into a trail for bikers and walkers, as an example to other cities looking at their own sections of the Eastside Corridor, as well as the number of parks available in the city limits.

An additional concern was how Kirkland was cooper-ating with other cities on regional matters. Walen said they’re discussing ways to connect the CKC with the Redmond Central Connec-tor and working alongside the city of Redmond on the 85th Street Corridor and with the city of Kenmore on the Juanita Drive Masterplan.

� e Leadership Eastside Leadership Enrichment Program is a two-year pro-gram where the participants develop and exercise skills to meet the needs of business, non-pro� t, and government leaders and help improve their organizations and their communities. Candidates for the program can be nominat-ed by anyone in the commu-nity who lives, works, and/or volunteers on the Eastside, albeit the ideal candidates have experience in leadership and/or management through their work or community

service and have a passion for their community. � is year’s class includes several Kirkland city employees, according to Walen.

� e � rst year of the program involves 10 full business days during a nine-month period where par-ticipants learn the concept of adaptive leadership and are designed for participants to better connect with their communities.

“Leadership Eastside builds capacity in our com-munities to tackle di� cult problems,” Marchione said. “I look to [Leadership Eastside] graduates to � ll the boards and commissions positions.”

Year two has them create their own regional sustain-able projects intended to put

skills learned into action.“� ey’re (participants)

creating a network from the ground up,” Walen said. “It’s

really a powerful networking tool. � eir (Leadership East-side) programs brings people together. � ey convene some great minds around concrete problems that need to be solved.”

� e group also allows the Eastside mayors a chance to interact and discuss issues that impact the various cities east of Lake Washington.

“� e most pressing issues on the Eastside are managing growth, building infrastruc-ture and addressing home-lessness,” Marchione said. “� ese are all regional issues and not con� ned to one city. We need participants that

can see the big picture and [Leadership Eastside] pro-duces those graduates.”

Walen said the program will help both organizations and city employees who’ve completed the program cooperate as they tackle regional issues.

“I think Leadership Eastside is just one more sort of tool in our arsenal for… helping us solve Eastside problems,” she said.

More information about the program can be found at leadershipeastside.com/enrichment.html.

Lobsang Dargey tries again for 143 or 88 units in spite of asset freeze

Citizens may have breathed a sigh of relief when they read that a federal judge froze the assets of Lobsang Dargey pursuant to charges (allegations) filed by the SEC. The SEC detailed their assertion that funds from other projects, such as an Everett and a Se-attle project were inappropriately diverted from investors to pay for Potala Village Kirkland.

Yet somehow, Lobsang Dargey and Path America’s Potala Village Kirk-land filed a Sept. 8 legal brief with the court of appeals. They are trying once again to be successful claiming the parcels are vested to the old, unchanged zoning. This is the zoning that had a proposal for 143 units and later a building permit application for 88 units. Both are far more density than the 59 units currently allowed.

Someone seems to be funding the contin-ued fight for this density.

It is important for citizens who want a right-sized neighborhood project to stay vigi-lant. While the superior court already said no to Potala Village, they continue their fight for increased units and less design review scrutiny.Karen Levenson, Kirkland

Turn a passion for education into action

The Lake Washington Schools Founda-tion Board of Trustees is a passionate group of energetic volunteers. Our dedication to public education has brought us together to raise over $2 million since 2005, supporting opportunities for academic excellence and success for all students in the Lake Washing-ton School District.

This year we are expanding our board to 15 trustees. If you share our pas-sion for public education, academic excellence and success for all stu-dents, we’re looking for you. Help us

continue investing in district-wide academic programs, which provide equal

accessfor all – preparing students for success in academics and in life.

Ideal candidates will have PTSA leadership and non-profit board experience, a history of volunteer experience in our schools (or in schools where you have lived previously) and the time and energy to contribute to a growing non-profit organization. We value diversity in all its forms, but especially in background, experience, expertise and ap-proaches to problem solving.

The board of trustees is responsible for ensuring that the Foundation does the best work possible in pursuit of its goals. We make decisions on policies, allocate funds, observe our grants in action and work to

share our story throughout the community. Each trustee is expected to participate on

at least one board or operating committee. A trustee term is three years, renewable for successive terms. The board of trustees meets the third Thursday of each month, except July, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

U.S. should not allow war refugees

This is in response to a planned rally at the University of Washington Sunday with the theme that more Syrian immigrants should be resettled in the Seattle area as is being done in Europe.

While everyone agrees that true refugees from war are needy, not all the immigrants flooding into Europe are war refugees; in fact, many are from Pakistan, Turkey, Meso-potamia, North Africa and other countries; they destroy their passports and claim to be Syrian refugees. These are economic immi-grants who are heading to countries that pro-vide the greatest benefits. They push forward to France, Germany and the Netherlands, where economic benefits are greatest.

● L E T T E R S . . . Y O U R O P I N I O N C O U N T S : To submit an item or photo: email [email protected]; mail attn: Letters, Kirkland Reporter, 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8/9, Kirkland, Washington, 98034; fax 425.822.0141. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.

At a neighborhood meeting last week, I came across something completely out of character for the Kirkland I

know. When the discussion turned to the aquatic center ballot measure, the opponents used fear of the unknown as their primary argument. If I were to sub-scribe to all those fears, I wouldn’t vote in favor, either. However, I would have to suspend judgement on what I know to be true.

There are new approaches in the proposal but Kirkland generally is more thought-ful than the opponents assume. The entire concept of presenting a proposal to build an aquatic center is in response to community requests and survey results. After nearly a de-cade of study, scores of public meetings and changes to account for feedbac, the ballot measure provides a workable means to meet those goals. The multiple functions in the proposed aquatic center are lessons learned from other communities across the country. With a wide variety of activities, modest user fees – rather than taxes - support ongoing operations.

Our lakeside community certainly deserves a place where children can learn to swim and families can find a variety of recreation opportunities. Swim lesson reservations cur-rently fill within minutes of opening and the existing pool at Juanita High School has no

long-term prospects. The approach to create a park district,

rather than a bond, is generally in response to the numerous pools that the county cre-ated decades ago that are either closing or converting to park districts. Kirkland’s situ-ation is that many millions of dollars would have to be spent just to arrange to send a bond measure to a vote – secure the property, design the facility, and prepare the financing. Those costs would have to be paid before you would get a say as to whether you want to fund the aquatic center. So, the park dis-trict approach provides a way for you to say whether you want the aquatic center before huge amounts of our money are spent.

As to the fear that our money would just be wasted, our city has some well-earned

credibility and fiscal discipline when it comes to being prudent with our money and being accountable. It is no accident that Kirkland has had a Triple-A credit rating that stood through even the hard times. It is not by ac-cident that the State Auditor’s Office awarded Kirkland one of three stewardship awards for the city’s outstanding fiscal and accountabil-ity systems. It is through hard work and basic fiscal restraint that the Cost of Government, when comparing Kirkland’s tax and fee rev-enue with the community’s income, is far be-low national averages (5-6 percent). In fact, one of our neighboring cities touts its Cost of Government as being prudent at 5.5 percent, while Kirkland’s is below 3.5 percent. So, the facts say that on the whole, we are getting pretty good value

for what we are paying.Now, as far as the fears of

irresponsible bureaucrats go, I was surprised when such national partisan rhetoric was being thrown out and related to my home. We are actually talking about local people dealing with local parks.

In arriving at the proposal to fund the aquatic center, the Kirkland City Council took a conservative approach to put limitations and condi-tions on the level and uses of the taxes that would be collected. The funds will be focused on the aquatic center and any future thoughts to use the park district to fund major things would require a vote. The vote is an advisory vote, but if you have paid at-tention to our City Councils over the past decades, you’ll know they are pretty respon-sive to the community. A Citizen’s Oversight Board will oversee and report annu-ally on the aquatic center, but the City Council would have final approval authority and answer annual audits from the state.

As you begin to hear of the fears describing what “might be” remember that the sky is not falling and the decision makers are not from Mars.

Appeals such as that are meant to play on your emo-tions and prejudices rather than on your good judge-ment. Please think carefully about whether Kirkland should have a public aquatic and recreation center and if the price is worth it to you.

I personally believe that Kirkland deserves an aquatic center like the one currently proposed; if not for us, cer-tainly for our kids.

Dave Asher is a member of the Kirkland City Council, but he is presenting his personal views.

have no ability to examine each immigrant. The vast majority of the immi-grants are young men, who appear fit and well fed. They are overwhelm-ingly Muslim. It is no coincidence that almost all terrorist attacks in the U.S., including the ones that have been thwarted by the authorities, have been perpetrated by Mus-lim young men.

Inviting more Muslim immigrants is very costly to the local taxpayers over the course of many years that it takes to resettle them, and it is foolhardy to increase the number of potential terrorists in our midst. A moratorium on Muslim immigrants should be initiated today because of the extreme cost and the threat to America. In-stead, the Gulf States like Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait should accept their Ara-bic speaking brothers and sisters.Stephen Decatur, Redmond

Support Jane Hague for King County Council

As a long time resident of Kirkland, and former

mayor, I would like you to be aware of some of the great things Jane has done, not only for Kirkland, but the whole Eastside.

Jane has always been the leader in holding down our property taxes and insisting the County be fiscally responsible. Beside that, she has always found ways to help the people in her district, and the cities with flood control, street improve-ments, parks, and the construction of the Kirk-land Performance Center.

I was actively involved in the building of KPC (Kirkland Performance Center) when we dis-covered an old oil tank during excavation for the theater. We discov-ered the oil tank was the original property of King County. It was going to cost us $40,000 dollars to have it removed and the clean up. With Jane’s help, the County took care of the removal and saved us a great deal of financial expense.

So again, I ask you, to support Jane Hague for King County Council, a true friend of the Eastside and Kirkland.

Thank you,Bill Woods, Kirkland

City of Kirkland not considering operating costs with ARC

The city of Kirkland Parks and Community Services Department is telling citizens that the proposed Aquatics Recre-ation Center (ARC) will cover the costs of op-erations. This is a wildly optimistic projection, not based on what is going on with municipal pools and municipal recreation centers, both regionally and nationally.

I have been a parks and recreation professional for 28 years, providing management and budget over site at community recreational centers and two municipal pools in Edmonds and Bremerton. A well run municipal pool recovers about 60-65 percent of it’s operating costs in fees. I have yet to see a city recreational center be profitable.

Almost all pools nationally and locally require public subsidies. Kirkland’s ARC wont be any different, but you don’t find any of this information in their business plan. Before the city even contemplate

asking tax payers to build an estimated $50 million plus pool, they should have financial partners participating, like the Lake Washington School District, the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA or other joint operating agreements with other communities.

This is too big of a tax burden for Kirkland residents to carry, without any certainty about loca-tion and land costs, with-out financial partners and without realistic revenue projections. You can hire consultants to tell you just about anything and in this case, the consultants are telling the Council and staff what they want to hear.

Now is not the right time to pay for a pool. It is time to take care of the parks that we do have in Kirkland that have fallen in to neglect.

Take care of your exist-ing property inventory, before expanding it.Patrick Harris, Kirkland

Shocked to not see anything about 9/11

I was truly shocked and in disbelief that nothing was mentioned about

9/11 in [the Sept. 11] pa-per about the most tragic event that happened in recent US history. Instead, the paper ran an editorial about a pirate ship docked in Kirkland?!

The ‘Dust Lady’ from the holocaust Sept. 11 bombings, Marcy Borders, just died from cancer this Aug. 26. Wake up Kirkland Reporter and get on with the times. There have been other horrendous terrorist at-

tacks since then, includ-ing the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013 that resulted in more deaths and lifelong injuries. Sept. 11, 2001 should always be on our minds so that as we com-memorate the tragic event and victims we are also reminded of the horror of evil and constantly be on the alert for our safety, and those around us.Anchi Miller, Kirkland

[ ASHER from page 4] Water use cut by 14 percent

Residents and busi-nesses in the region have exceeded requests by water providers like Cascade Water Alliance to reduce water use 10 percent over the last four weeks by col-lectively cutting back use by 14 percent.

Yet while the recent rains have helped, it has not been enough to return water supplies to normal levels. Cascade and its members remind residents and busi-nesses that more rain and continued water reductions are still needed to replenish regional water supplies for people and fish.

Cascade and its mem-bers commend the actions residents and businesses have taken to reach this point. Cascade urges residents and businesses to continue to reduce their water consumption in-doors now that the weather has cooled, and continue to reduce outdoor use as well. Here are some water saving tips.

Indoor water-saving tips for residents:

· Reduce showering time· Check for and fix leaks· Wash only full loads of

laundry and dishes· Turn off the tap while

brushing teeth or shaving· If purchasing fixtures/

equipment, choose water-efficient models

Indoor water-saving tips for businesses:

· Encourage reduced showering times at your facilities

“One of the things I really noticed when I first started was the different reception that fire and police receive on the street,” he said. “Police will show up and people go ‘Oh no, here’s the police,’ or they’ll hide something or look guilty. The whole kind of thing of being scrutinized. But when fire(fighters) shows up they say ‘Yeah! Fire’s here!’ A lot of people say the same thing when po-lice arrive… but we never experienced that with fire. That was probably the biggest thing I noticed when I was first on.”

In the 34 years since, Sanford has served as a firefighter, lieutenant, captain, battalion chief and deputy chief before taking over once former Kirkland fire chief Kevin Nalder stepped down in early August following an extended family medical leave. This month, Nalder took up the fire chief position in Palm Springs, Calif.

Some of the best calls Sanford recalled were also equally the worst, as they usually involved injured children. Unlike many calls, though, they ended on a happy note. One of those involved a boy who fell out of a three story building window after pushing out an unsecured screen. Unconscious when the Kirkland Fire Department (KFD) ar-rived, they were able to stabilize his neck and perform CPR until they reached the hospital. The boy ultimately recovered and visited firefighters a year later.

“You get the opportuni-

ty to help people and not only save lives but change lives,” Sanford said. “It’s the greatest job on the planet.”

Another similar out-come occurred when fire-fighters responded to a call after a father acciden-tally fell and caused the infant he was holding to whack against the floor. Although it didn’t appear like there were any visible injuries to the infant, they recommended the father take the child to the hos-pital, where they learned the entire skull had been cracked. Fortunately, they were able to repair the damage without any long-term effects, Sanford said.

“Things like that are ones that you can remem-ber,” he said.

Another thing that he’s seen since first joining the department has been a rise in the number of calls as the city has grown, from roughly 1,200 a year to approxi-mately 8,300.

“When I was hired there were 19 firefight-ers in Kirkland,” he said. “Now there’s over 100.”

Though medical calls continue to outpace the number of fire calls, changes in construc-tion practices has led to quicker flashover times, the near-simultaneous ignition of most of the exposed flammable mate-rial in an enclosed room, from around 25 minutes to as early as 3.5 minutes.

“When I was first hired a lot of the struc-tures used heavy beamed construction,” he said. “They didn’t use light weight trusses and gusset

plates instead of nails. In addition, they use a lot of glues in order to keep costs down. They don’t use actual wood members. They use com-pressed wood chips.”

Currently, the city is working on the Fire Department Strategic Plan, which is intended to improve response times based on emergency medical services and CPR calls. According to San-ford, around 83 percent of the plan is either com-pleted or in the process of being completed, while the rest of the plan, such as the placement of any new fire stations, the city

is working to acquire the necessary fund-ing.

“With reduced flashover times

with fire, we’re try-ing to get there in the

same standard,” Sanford said, “and so what that takes is firefighters strate-gically located throughout the city and the correct number of firefighters to get there and respond quickly.”

As for a new fire chief, city officials have stated that they are looking to fill the police chief posi-tion being vacated by Eric Olsen this month.

“What I hope to do is kind of, I guess, start the process for open commu-nication and transparency at all levels in the fire department so that a new chief can step in without having to worry about that part of it,” Sanford said.

It will also give Sanford the opportunity to see if he wants the full-time job. A Poulsbo resident, he said he is looking to move

to the Eastside in order to be closer to the city.

“I am considering it at this point,” he said. “It’s an unusual thing in that it’s not something that I’ve strived for. It’s not been a childhood dream. It’s something that I’m looking at right now because I think there are some things that I have to offer in the position that

really can be best offered through that position. If I can help in that way, and this interim chief provides the opportunity for me to look and see if the things I’m doing are impacting in a positive way, then I could consider continuing.”

Despite leaving the family career, Sanford said they have been sup-

portive throughout his career.

“They were really excited for me at the time, and they’re jealous of the time schedule,” he said. “They see the two to three days off. They love it, and it’s been a source of fam-ily bantering for 34 years. They just don’t see the 48 hours straight (of work).”

Kiwanis installs new president, raises money for local kids

The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland’s (KCK) An-nual Installation Banquet was held on Sept. 11. It

is the club’s biggest social event of the year and a big money maker for the kids in the Kirkland commu-nity.

The in-coming presi-dent for the year, Kat Cannon, was installed, along with three new board members. Outgoing president, Bill Ward, was commended for a job well done during this past year and given kudos by every-one at the banquet with a standing ovation.

For the second year, the banquet was held at the Kirkland Women’s Club and about 100 members and spouses gathered for the festivities. There was a photo booth capturing fun times to remember and keeping them for poster-ity. The K-band, the KCK’s

own oldies rock and roll band, provided music at the banquet. A spoof to the song “Stray Cat Strut” was sung to the incoming and outgoing presidents.

There was a live auction and a raffle that collected money that will fund the club’s basic operating ex-penses, which enable it to then allocate all of money through fundraising to go directly to helping kids in the Kirkland commu-nity. The “Kiwanian of the Year” award was given to Ross Dessert.

There were also three distinguished guests joining in the fun of the evening: Ferrin Lauve and his wife Nancy from the Providence Point Kiwanis Club in Issaquah, Carol Mahoney from the Sunris-

ers Club in Kirkland, and Harry Dingwall, mem-ber of the Mercer Island and Issaquah Kiwanis Clubs. Lauve is the cur-rent 2014-15 lieutenant governor for the PNWD Division 28 and Mahoney is the incoming lieuten-ant governor for 2015-16 whose term will begin in October.

Mahoney did the honors of installing Can-non as the new Kirkland president.

For more information about the Kiwanis Club of Kirkland, visit the club’s website or contact Secre-tary Matt Gregory at (425) 828-0231.

The club meets every Wednesday at noon at Hector’s in downtown Kirkland.

BY TJ MARTINELL

The Lake Washing-ton School District (LWSD) has imple-

mented a comprehensive program to help identify, and mitigate concussions among high school athletes in the district.

In August, all LWSD football coaches received “Heads Up” training, a concussion management program developed by USA Football, as part of the Washington Interscho-lastic Athletic Association requirement for concus-sion management training for football head coaches.

All coaches will be required to have the same training in the 2016-17 school year.

Although concussions can occur in many high school sports, statistically football players are at the highest risk. Nearly half

(47 percent) of all re-ported sports concussions occur during high school football, according to Head Case, a Chicago-based sports technology com-pany. � e company also reported that 33 percent of concussions occur during practice.

At Lake Washington and Juanita High Schools, the district reported two and six concussions respective-ly from the football teams in 2014. In 2015 there were 13 reported concussions on the Lake Washington football team and two were reported at Juanita.

“� ere are di� erent reasons why the numbers could be so di� erent in di� erent years,” LWSD spokesperson Kathryn Reith wrote in an email. “Certainly, it all depends on what actually hap-pens in games, which can be pretty random. It also

depends to some degree on students self-reporting symptoms.”

She added that they have also encouraged students recently to report concus-sions, which may have impacted the numbers.

LWSD is also institut-ing the ImPACT program, which uses neurocognitive testing of student-athletes to create a personal base-line assessment of func-tioning.

If a concussion is suspected, the student is retested to compare results. In this way, they won’t have to rely solely on self-reporting or obvious symptoms.

“For me, this is such a great way to promote what we’re doing as a school and improve the safety of our kids,” said Lake Washing-ton High School football head coach A.J. Parnell, who also played college

football. “For football to continue and thrive and advance, we have to make the game safer and be proactive in our approach. It’s an extremely impor-tant thing we need to deal with.”

Parnell added that while concussions aren’t always preventable, knowing what causes them, and the symptoms of one, can allow coaches and the athletes to make better decisions during practice and games.

“� ere’s no way to prevent it,” he said. “Some people, they can bump their head on the door and boom, that does it. � ere’s no true way to say ‘this is how we’re going to stop it,’ but if we can be proactive on the front end… that’s something that could help. � e reality is there’s risk in everything you do. I think my job as a coach is to try

and take care of the risk as best we can.”

Similar testing is also be-ing done with girls soccer, with other sports added throughout the year. � e district’s goal is to eventu-ally test all athletes.

“As doctors and scien-tists have learned more about the e� ects of concus-sions, it has become clear that we need to put more protections in place for students most at risk,” said LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce in a press re-lease statement. “We want to approach this issue from a prevention standpoint � rst as well as appropriate-ly managing concussions that do happen.”

� e school district is also looking to replace football helmets that have lower protection ratings. Virginia Tech developed a rating system to di� erentiate helmets, ranging from one

star - least protective, to � ve star - most protective. � e district is removing all helmets rated less than four stars from inventory and have purchased � ve-star helmets to replace them. All new helmets purchased in the future will be � ve-star helmets.

In 2009, the Washington State Legislature passed the Zackery Lystedt Law, which prohibits athletes under 18 from participat-ing in a game or practice if they are suspected to have su� ered from a concussion.

� ey are not allowed to return until they receive written authorization from a properly trained medical professional.

A football player at Tahoma High School in Maple Valley, Lystedt su� ered an undiagnosed concussion in 2006 during a game that resulted in a brain hemorrhage.

LWSD implements program to combat concussions in student athletes

the task force faced as it be-gan its work last December. A smaller working subcom-mittee of the task force dug into the details of the district’s overall needs, use of space, funding for school buildings, ways to reduce costs and other issues. � e task force also reached out to the broader community through surveys and open houses for input on their work.

� ey have now developed a set of dra� recommenda-tions and are asking for feedback from the commu-nity. � e recommendations address classroom capacity issues, cost reduction, ef-� cient use of space and other issues. � ey also recommend speci� c projects to be under-taken in the future. Some of the major recommendations concerned capacity, aging facilities and funding.

An online open house pro-vides information on all of the dra� recommendations. A survey on the site is open through Oct. 11. Community members can also participate

in in-person Learning Com-munity meetings this month, as well as a task force town hall from 6-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 7, at Rose Hill Middle School, 13505 N.E. 75th St. in Redmond.

“Members from all parts of our community have come together in the Task Force to develop a recom-mendation. � ey have taken on a complex topic and have thoroughly explored the district’s space issues and needs,” Pierce said. “� roughout their process, the Task Force has sought feedback from the entire community, and I encourage everyone to participate in these continuing feedback opportunities. It’s important to hear from as many people as possible on an issue that could have a tremendous impact on our schools and our community for years to come.”

Next steps� e task force is engaging

in a series of e� orts to gather feedback from the communi-ty on the dra� recommenda-tions. Community members can give input via the online open house through Oct. 11.

In addition, task force members will also present the dra� recommenda-tions at meetings in schools around the district this month. Community meet-ings also will be held in each of the district’s four regions.

A � nal task force town hall on Oct. 7 will provide an additional opportunity to provide input to the task force.

� e task force will review the input collected through these di� erent methods, then meet to determine revisions needed in the recommenda-tions. � ey plan to share the � nal recommendations with the school board in Novem-ber.

King County awards $4.4 million for salmon recovery

The King County Flood Control District has ap-proved over $4.4 million in grant funding to four major watersheds to support ongoing salmon recovery efforts. The Lake Washington/Cedar/Sam-mamish Watershed will receive more than $1.8 million of that money.

“In this hot, dry year, our prized Chinook salmon are in peril in our area rivers. Consequently, restoration work in King County watersheds and effective collabora-tion with our partners is more important than ever,” said Larry Phillips, chair of the King County Council and of the WRIA

8 Salmon Recovery Council. “This

funding is critical for implementing projects that will improve conditions

for spawning and rearing salmon and the

health of our watersheds as a whole.”

The Snoqualmie Water-shed, Green/Duwamish Watershed and Puyallup/White Watershed will also receive money to work with member cities, tribal governments and non-profit organizations on high priority restoration projects and educational programs to enhance water quality and habitat for salmon. Chinook and steelhead were placed on the threatened list under the Endangered Species Act in 1999.

“The weather this year has created difficult issues for salmon recovery ef-forts,” said Reagan Dunn, chair of the King County Flood Control District. “The funding we were

able to provide in grants should, when added to other available fund-ing, provide additional assistance to important salmon recovery projects being undertaken in King County.”

“We are grateful to the King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors for their leadership and focus on multi-benefit projects that align with our salm-on habitat priorities,” said Jason Mulvihill-Kuntz, Watershed Coordinator for WRIA 8. “Their finan-cial support is key to our recovery efforts.”

as other conditions, includ-ing that they are not allowed to re-enroll at JHS. All five of the students were given emergency expulsions from JHS following their arrest.

A guardian of one of the defendants is claiming that the act was not an isolated incident. In a letter sent to the Lake Washington School District, the Reporter and the Seattle Times, the guardian wrote that the act was part of a prevalent hazing culture that exists both on the JHS football team as well as other high school football teams around the country.

“The incident occurred be-cause unsupervised horseplay in the locker room at their high school got out of hand,” he wrote. “How did the boys learn this bad behavior? By being a part of the Juanita football team where sodom-izing other boys – real or pretended – was conduct that was a part of a Juanita hazing tradition... Contrary to state-ments the Juanita principal made to parents last year, this was not an ‘exception to the Juanita school way.’

“I do not say this to excuse

the conduct of the boys,” he wrote further, “but to point out that adults were likewise responsible.”

Judge John Erlick, who sentenced the three defen-dants, expressed similar sentiments during an Aug. 31 court date while deliberating over whether or not to grant them a deferred disposition.

“I think this is a horrific crime,” Erlick said. “I think [the victim] has been both physically and emotionally violated. And I have to look at this crime in the context of a culture, and I call it a culture because from what I read in the submissions not only were these young men perpetrators, but to some extent they were also victims in the sense of being subject to similar types of ‘jubies.’ It doesn’t justify it, and this needs to put an end to that.”

“For too long society has tolerated or turned its back on what’s referred to as ‘haz-ing’ or ‘pranks’ or ‘boys being boys’” he continued. “We now recognize the profound and traumatic effect this has on victims, on victims’ fami-lies and on the community as a whole. This community

and its justice system speak clearly: No more, we cannot tolerate this any longer. As many have stated here, it is the responsibility of the members of the community to speak clearly, to speak out, to report these incidents, to investigate these incidents and to prosecute these incidents, and so we can no longer accept this cruel and damaging behavior.”

At the same time, LWSD Spokesperson Kathryn Reith stated that the individual de-fendants did not provide any information to the district as part of their independent investigation into hazing.

“We offered them that op-portunity and they declined,” she said.

The Reporter has made numerous public information requests to the LWSD and the Kirkland Police Department concerning reports of similar hazing incidents, but none of the requests has produced any pertinent documents, and KPD Spokesperson Mike Murray told the Reporter they have not responded to any similar incidents.

“Hazing will not be toler-ated in any form and is never to be part of our program,” the LWSD Hazing Policy reads. “Acts of hazing can escalate to the point that the students-participating are at risk. It is also quite possible that many acts of hazing will result in legal action being taken against the coach, advisor, student group leader, administration or the school district.”

“Any student who par-ticipates willingly in a hazing ritual is subject to disciplinary action, including suspension from school or the team or both, and possible legal ac-tion dependent on the sever-ity of the incident,” the policy continues. “Any student-ath-lete who observes and does not attempt to stop or report such a violation can also be subject to disciplinary action by our school. Repeated acts of hazing can result in further school action and permanent suspension from athletics.”

Reith stated that they are unable to comment on any specific student discipline, nor do they announce the

results of any court proceed-ings. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law regarding student privacy, prohibits school dis-tricts like Lake Washington from releasing information about students.

“The individuals convicted of crimes actually have a right to privacy (as students),” Reith said. “We are not the courts. It’s not up to us to an-nounce what the courts rule.”

However, Reith stated their general policy is that if a stu-dent is convicted of a crime, yet not sentenced to juvenile detention, and are still under 18 years old and living in the school district, the school district is legally required to educate them, while the courts and probation officers determine the stipulations for a student’s return to school.

“We work with the courts and probations officers when students are returning,” Reith said. “They may have some specific conditions around those students.”

For example, if a student has served in juvenile deten-tion, the court and probation

officers may set requirements on their attendance, behavior, or conditions under which they are allowed to go back to school, including a safety plan.

“We do have students in our schools that have been convicted of crimes, (but) that is true of every school district that I’m aware of,” Reith said. “The important thing is working with the courts and probation officers to make sure everyone is safe.”

She also pointed out that the court decides if the students convicted of crimes return to school or are sent to juvenile detention.

“If they said they were a menace to society, they would be in juvenile deten-tion,” she said. “If they were such a danger to society they wouldn’t be out and on the street. It doesn’t mean they have to go back to the same school. There are protection for victims so they don’t have to go to school with someone who has committed a crime against them.”
