A crowd of distressed Bel-levue High School football play-ers and their families filled the Bellevue School Board meeting Dec. 15 to voice their concerns about the investigation into the Bellevue football program.

Altogether, a half dozen student athletes and their families out of the team of 90 players have come forward with concerns about racial bias in the investigation. According to the complainants, both the current and a former investigator have allegedly focused on a small group of African-American team members and have ques-tioned how those students could afford to live in Bellevue.

“Why didn’t these investiga-tors ask any white players, like me, how they could afford to live here? Please stop the inves-tigation of five people based on skin color and a perception of who should live in Bellevue,” Bellevue High School senior Eron Kross asked the board.

Concerns about the tactics of one investigator led to his removal from the case at the request of the district two months ago. School Board President Christine Chew told the audience at the Dec. 15 school board meeting that the concerns brought forward that night would be addressed.

“We do support you, we do care about you, and we are con-cerned about some of the things you’re concerned about. We

have already made reports to the WIAA about some of the is-sues you brought up, and things got changed,” she said.

Bob Westinghouse, one of the independent investigators chosen by the WIAA to probe the program, told the Reporter that he was not aware of any allegations of racial bias in their investigation. Neither he nor his partner, Carl Blackstone, did not respond to additional questions.

“To date, no parent or player has complained to the (Wash-ington Interscholastic Activities Association) that the investiga-tion has been racially biased and the WIAA does not have evidence of racial bias in the investigation,” WIAA spokes-

Frustrated drivers using Washing-ton State Department of Transporta-tion’s “Good To Go!” toll system are being urged not to call the govern-ment agency to complain about a credit-card billing issue.

From Monday, Dec. 7 to Monday, Dec. 14, more than 1,300 motorists using Good to Go’s automated pay-ment system were being hit with a message informing them of a low or negative balance. Others attempting to pay manually were receiving error messages.

Good To Go tolls impact the In-terstate 405 Express Toll Lanes from Bellevue to Lynnwood, State Route 520 bridge, Tacoma Narrows Bridge and State Route 167 HOT Lanes.

person Conor Laffey said on Dec. 15. The district asked the WIAA to conduct

a fact-finding investigation into allega-tions against the Bellevue High School football program Aug. 25. Those allega-tions included that athletes had received subsidized housing to gain eligibility, that coaches coordinated tuition payments for athletes and other charges.

A month later, Blackstone and West-inghouse, former federal prosecutors now with Seattle-based Yarmuth Wilsdon PLLC, were hired to conduct the investiga-tion.

Questions concerning the tactics investi-gators used began shortly thereafter.

Sammamish High School alumni are joining forces to establish a scholarship to help send first-generation college students to college.

The Sammamish X Scholarship Fund will provide financial support to graduat-ing seniors who will be first-generation college students and who are seen as both leaders and scholars in their class and embody the spirit of Sammamish High

School. “To me, it’s for someone who really

wants to get involved in activities, some-one who really cares about the school in all aspects,” said Dan Blau.

The ‘X factor’ of the scholarship, as Blau calls it, is the focus on first generation col-lege students.

Approximately 40 percent of Sam-mamish students will be the first in their family to attend college, according to the Sammamish PTSA and Sammamish Totems Enrichment and Program Sup-

port. A study by the Partnership for 21st Century Learning put the number of first generation college students at almost half of Sammamish’s student body.

“I think the kind of X factor would be that first generation college student… (the number of first-generation students coming from Sammamish) really made an impression on us, and I think the reason for doing a scholarship in Bellevue is because people assume people in Bellevue has money, but there are students who need help,” said Dan Blau, a Sammamish High School alumnus who is spearheading the scholarship.

The school also has a sizeable share of students receiving free or reduced lunches — around 40 percent.

“Given that 40-45% of SHS qualify for FRL the fact that SHS sends somewhere between 80-90% of their students on to some kind of post-secondary education is astounding,” former Sammamish teacher and current Visiting Assistant Professor of Education at Pacific Lutheran University Paul Sutton wrote to Blau in an email.

Just before attending his 10-year high

school reunion, Blau and his friend Win-ston Lofton decided to use the leverage of the event to start raising funds for the scholarship. The pair wanted to give back to their high school, and a scholarship was deemed the easiest and direct way to do so.

“The main goal was just to start a tradi-tion. We didn’t want this to be a one-time thing, so next year we’re hoping the class after ours will carry it on. It’s all about creating a lasting legacy,” Blau said.

As they began to reach out to other alumni, they found that this was not the first time former students have contem-plating starting a scholarship for students, Blau said.

Quickly, around 30 alums from vari-ous graduating classes banded together to jumpstart the scholarship. Blau and Win-ston have been joined by former students from the 2003 and 2004 graduating classes, as well as from the 2006 and 2007 graduat-ing classes who will soon be celebrating their own 10 year reunions.

Tateuchi Center caps off 2015 with $3.5 million in gifts

Bellevue’s nascent Tateuchi Center got another big boost to end 2015 — $3.5 mil-lion to cap off a year of fundraising.

The center’s Capital Campaign has raised nearly $25 million in 2015.

Carl and Renee Behnke pledged $3 million to the center, and Moe and Suzy Krabbe pledged $500,000.

According to Tateuchi Center Executive Director and CEO John Haynes, the gifts got the capital campaign off on a good start for next year.

“It’s clear to us the momentum is there,” he said. “And we’re going to raise the rest of the money next year, of course.”

The Tateuchi Center Capital Campaign is driving to build a “state-of-the-art” per-forming arts center in Bellevue. Ground-

breaking is tentatively planned for spring 2017.

Haynes estimates there is still a need for more than $100 million, but with $40 mil-lion in donation asks currently floating out there, he said signs are good for a produc-tive 2016.

The cultural project was established in 2002 as Performing Arts Center Eastside, and was renamed in 2010 to honor a $25 million pledge from the Tateuchi Founda-tion. The facility will feature a 2,000-seat concert hall and a 225-seat Studio Theatre and Arts Education Studio.

Earlier in the year, the City of Bellevue pledged $20 million to the project, and King County and 4Culture partnered for a $1.2 million grant last month.

Plans for a new elementary school to serve Wilburton, the Spring District and Downtown Bellevue are being met with mixed reactions by community members, some of whom have raised concerns over traffic.

“Traffic has been, since day one, the issue,” said Bob Shay, president of the Wilburton Community Association.

The Bellevue School District is current-ly developing a new elementary school on Main Street to serve the Wilburton, Downtown and Spring District neighbor-hoods and relieve overcrowding at Enatai, Woodridge and Clyde Hill elementary schools. District enrollment has been growing steadily by roughly three percent, or around 600 students, annually.

That is roughly the student body of one elementary school, according to Melissa DeVita, deputy superintendent of finance and operation for the district.

The area was once served by the Wilburton Elementary School, which closed in 1983, according to the Eastside Heritage Center.

Residents are not opposed to the new elementary school, Shay said, but are con-cerned about the impacts on traffic.

“As far as the school goes, we’re thrilled,” he said. “But, this will serve not only Wilburton, but other neighborhoods. The district is planning for the future,

obviously, but we’re concerned about the traffic being pulled in.”

Of those in attendance at community meetings held by the district, roughly half have had concerns about the develop-ment, according to project manager Kyle McLeod.

Of particular concern is the amount of traffic being brought onto Main Street and 124th Avenue Northeast, Shay said. He said some residents felt that having the school entrance and bus drop-off be located on Northeast 1st Street would potentially help with traffic and keep the neighborhood relatively quiet.

As a part of the traffic study, different traffic scenarios, points of high traffic and other considerations were analyzed by transportation officials. The Main Street entrance was found to be the most viable.

Preexisting factors such as the three wetlands bordering the site make North-east 1st Street a difficult option for the school’s entrance. Two of the wetlands are regulated and have spacing requirements, McLeod said, and to build near them would complicate the build as it would require working around city codes and obtaining federal permits.

“We didn’t just pick Main Street to pick Main Street,” McLeod said.

The district recently submitted a permit application to the city, according to McLeod. He said that the district is expecting to receive feedback from the city in the first few weeks of 2016.

Wilburton residents concerned about Elementary 18 traffic

Nothing like a few days away from the office to get one’s spirit rejuvenated and energy recharged.

For Gov. Jay Inslee, it came in a trip to Paris, where he attended the international confab on climate change.

He hung out with folks who share his view that climate change poses the greatest threat to the contin-ued existence of humanity on this planet, folks obsessed with slowing the damage through every political and regulatory means possible.

The experience refueled Inslee’s confidence that reducing emissions of pollution-causing carbon and other greenhouse gases is a concern among leaders of cities, states, provinces and nations worldwide.

“I don’t want to be too carried away by this moment,” he told reporters on a conference call Dec. 8. “This has been an inspirational group that I’ve been talking to the last few days in Paris. I’m glad I’m here.”

Inslee returned the following Wednesday to Olympia, a place where he’s thus far failed to move any significant legislation reducing carbon emissions due to opposition from Republicans and reluctance of his fellow Democrats.

Now he’s trying to do so by rewriting the state’s clean air rules, a strategy which isn’t subject to legislative ap-proval. But this effort may wind up helping clean the air above Quebec City or Los Angeles before it does Everett or Seattle.

At Inslee’s direction, the Department of Ecology is crafting the rule to establish limits on the amount of car-bon pollution emissions for 31 companies and investor-owned utilities representing Washington’s largest emitters of pollutants.

Over time, the cap for each emitter will be slowly reduced. Companies will be required to meet their first emission reduction deadline in 2020.

Time to invest in light railI applaud the efforts of Seattle Subway to push for

a more ambitious light rail plan for the area. Traffic around here has gotten horrendous and it’s time we made these investments in our transportation infra-structure.

Like most Americans, I grew up driving everywhere. After college I lived and worked abroad in Taiwan where I experienced the benefits of a world-class subway and light rail network firsthand. Even in a bustling me-tropolis of 2.6 million people like Taipei, getting across town on the subway during rush hour only takes 15-20 minutes. In a car it would take three times that long.

Compared to everyone driving his or her own car, light rail is safer (no drunk or distracted drivers), more efficient (no traffic jams), more convenient (no need to find parking), cheaper (no gas tank to fill), and more environmentally friendly.

Once people here experience the convenience of a subway system they will change their transportation choices and ultimately increase their quality of life.

Rush hour traffic is already becoming intolerable, and the Seattle area’s population is predicted to grow. Now, more than ever, we need efficient, reliable mass transit.

Why are flashing yellows confusing?Flashing yellow lights are a great benefit in helping to

reduce traffic congestion. Flashing yellow means CAU-TION and YIELD. I went online to see what our neigh-boring states laws were and this is the rule in Idaho and Oregon as well. Yellow means caution, it always has. Why is this so confusing?

Deanna Morgan, Bellevue

Political concern legitimatePeople have a legitimate right to be concerned about the

future of this country considering how much politicians and corporations have lied to and failed us in the past look-ing out for their own best interest and not that of every U.S. citizen, including the poorest.

Inslee to tackle carbon pollution

At that time, companies or utilities that exceed their assigned cap can avoid penalties by investing in other pollution-reduction efforts in the state.

Or, they may be able to comply by going out of state and purchasing carbon pollution credits in cap-and-trade markets operating in places like California or the province of Quebec.

In other words, a company could avoid punishment for polluting too much in Washington by helping reduce pollution somewhere else in

the world.“We have made no final decisions,”

Inslee said. But the rule would reduce carbon pollution and reduce costs for Washington businesses do-ing their best to meet the standards, he said.

“Our air becomes cleaner any time we reduce air pollution anywhere in the world,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where coal is burned, it ends up in our water in Puget Sound and in our kids’ lungs. Perhaps not so much the particulates, but the carbon dioxide is a worldwide phenomenon.

“So, when we (eliminate) a ton of coal being burned in Quebec it has an impact on improving our situa-tion in Washington,” he said.

A draft of the rule is expected to be released in the next few weeks, followed by months of review and public hearings before possible adoption in late 2016.

December 8RX robber: The suspect entered the Bartells Drug Store on 156th Avenue and went to the pharmacy where he requested to fill a prescription for codeine. The name on the prescription and the suspect’s ID did not match, so the pharmacist said he couldn’t fill it and turned his back. Then, the suspect opened the door to the pharmacy, took the bottle of codeine from the shelf and ran out of the store with the stolen narcotics.

December 9Bomb threat: An unknown male subject called Pacific Rehabilitation Center and stated there was a bomb inside the building, then hung up. The clinic evacuated all employees and clients. Nothing suspi-cious was found at the scene, and it is unknown why it was the target of the threat.Mall mobsters: A caller reported seeing two middle eastern males in the west parking lot of Bellevue Square Mall. One male handed the other a rifle, which the second suspect pointed in the air. The males were next to a gold SUV. Officers arrived quickly and did not locate the males and the officer attempted to contact the caller a second time, but he did not answer the phone. Mall security is checking for video of this area.

December 10Vicious circle: An officer investigated an employee theft case in which the suspect can be seen on surveil-lance video taking $320 from the Burger King drive-thru till on Dec. 9. The suspect returned to work the next day, was arrested and confessed. He stated he had stolen the money to pay a court restitution fee related to a previous malicious mischief case.

December 11Runaway teen: A two-months-pregnant 15-year-old girl ran away from home after her mother wouldn’t let her boyfriend come to their house for a visit. The juvenile has a history of illegal drug use and previous runaway reports. Officers checked an abandoned building at Sammamish High School that the mother indicated she’d been previously found at, but didn’t find the girl. Seattle Police also checked the Youth Care Orion Center, since this is where her boyfriend resides, but neither subject

were located. NORCOM entered the juvenile into WACIC/NCIC as a runaway juvenile. At this time her current whereabouts is unknown and there are no further leads.

December 12Bizarre ‘burglar’: The subject reported a burglary in progress at his apartment and told dispatchers that he had just returned home and found a naked man in his shower. The subject then went on to say that he, too, was naked and was standing in his bedroom observ-ing the “suspect”. Officers arrived and found no evi-dence of a suspect. The caller insisted that the suspect must have fled out the back just before the police’s arrival, despite the fact that the back balcony was two stories off the ground. He told officers that he initially spotted the man in his apartment at 3 a.m. when he awoke to find him in his room. He told the man to leave and then fell back asleep, but said he woke up hours later to find him naked in his bathroom. The resident has a previous history of reporting suspicious burglaries.

December 13On Santa’s naughty list: The suspect was upset with her husband for not helping her put up the Christmas lights and struck him repeatedly with a bundle of lights. The husband got a cut to the head during the incident, but did not retaliate. The wife was arrested and booked into jail for assault.Meth-made madness: A nearly naked man was reported walking along 110th Avenue Northeast. Of-ficers arrived and found the victim with only under-wear on, freezing cold and wet. He was muttering unintelligible words and appeared to be hallucinating. After taking him to the hospital, Officers learned he was just there the day before and he indicated he was a meth user.


Detectives with the Bellevue Police Department’s Economic Crimes Unit, together with the Bellevue SWAT team, arrested a Lynnwood man this week who is accused of fraud and exploiting vulnerable adults.

The 53-year-old man allegedly put himself in a posi-tion to manage the finances and care for his 49-year-old mentally disabled cousin, 95-year-old aunt and 92-year-old uncle. The suspect allegedly abused his position of trust by using the victims’ existing financial accounts and identity information to obtain numerous credit accounts and goods, resulting in a loss of over $90,000 in 10 months.

“The fact that these vulnerable victims that were allegedly exploited were members of the suspect’s own family was shocking, and I’m proud that we were able to hold this individual accountable for his actions. One of our most important duties as law enforcement officers is to stand up and fight for the vulnerable, and we did just that in this case,” Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett said of the case.

One of the victim’s sons was auditing the accounts of the victim and noticed abnormalities, and contacted the Bellevue Police, according to police spokesperson Seth Tyler. They served a search warrant on the suspect’s residence on Dec. 9.

Although the suspect lives in Lynnwood, the case fell in the Bellevue Police’s terrain because the victims live in Bellevue.

“As long as the victim is a Bellevue resident, we will arrest the suspect wherever he or she resides, Bellevue or not. For example, our special enforcement team routinely arrests individuals accused of committing Bellevue burglaries in outside jurisdictions,” Tyler told the Reporter.

The suspect is expected to be charged on Dec. 11 in King County Superior Court with two counts of identity theft in the first degree, one count of identity theft in the second degree and one count of theft in the second degree, all of which are felonies.

After closing renowned Seattle restau-rant Crush in August, chef Jason Wilson announced he was partnering with Kemper Development Company and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide to open a new restaurant in downtown Bellevue.

The James Beard Award-winning chef still owns Miller’s Guild steakhouse and is executive chef of Coffee Flour, a wheat flour alternative.

The Bellevue restaurant has yet to be named, but is scheduled to open in summer 2017 when the Lincoln Square expansion is completed.

Wilson’s new restaurant will “evoke a modern take on the spirit of the Pacific Northwest farmhouse, from design to menu,” according to a press release. A speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar will be

part of the restaurant as well.Howard McQuaid, vice president of

leasing and development for Kemper Development Company, said the partner-ship with Wilson was an exciting move.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Chef Ja-son Wilson on our upcoming expansion of Lincoln Square. He brings a culinary prowess and affinity for unique, local, forward-thinking cuisine to another level for The Bellevue Collection,” he said.

The restaurant will be on the second floor of the W Bellevue building expan-sion and the bar on the first floor.

Wilson opened Crush in Seattle in 2005. He and his wife closed the restau-rant on Aug. 28.

The Lincoln Square expansion will take over the majority of a city block shared with the Bellevue Arts Museum.

Wilson plans Bellevue restaurant Domino’s adds new delivery vehicles

Ryan Murray, Bellevue Reporter

Domino’s has unleashed a fleet of these new delivery vehicles with a warming oven in the back.

Hungry Puget Sound-area residents who order Domino’s pizza will now be able to check out an experi-mental vehicle designed to deliver hot pizzas to their doors.

The new vehicle — the “DXP” or Delivery Expert vehicle — is built on the chassis of the Chevrolet Spark. It is fully embla-zoned with company logos and has a built-in “warm-ing oven” accessible from outside the vehicle. The small car can hold up to 80 pizzas, as well as other menu items.

The vehicle was designed in a five-stage crowdsource competition led by Local Motors. Small lights shoot out the distinctive Dom-ino’s logo onto the street around the car.

Domino’s, a Michigan-

based pizza company, went through a massive over-haul of business practices several years to counteract an unfavorable reputation. The company began by changing recipes and has continued to change with things like the pizza track-

ing app, where customers can monitor their food’s progress to their home.

Puget Sound is one of 25 areas to get Delivery Expert vehicles, and more than a dozen will be cruising the rainy streets this winter.

WSDOT’s toll contact, Ethan Bergerson, said the glitch had been fixed.

“First of all the custom-ers don’t have to take any action. We’re going to fix this for them,” he said. “Just continue driving as normal. For those trying to pay manually, you might have to try the payment again.”

Customers were calling the Good To Go customer service line in such a high volume that wait times were regularly 25 minutes or more, overwhelming WSDOT.

Electronic Transaction Consultants, the vendor WSDOT uses to process billing payments, upgraded its servers to “improve performance and reliability of the system and support customer needs,” according to a release.

The result was anything but, as drivers were hit with notices that their accounts were in the red. WSDOT’s Good to Go pass bills an authorized automatic pay-ment credit card $30 when the subtracting account dips below $8.

“There shouldn’t be any extra fees,” Bergerson said. “The troubles have been intermittent but focused on people using auto-pay.”

last month over incumbent Jane Hague. City council members wished her well and

recounted her time on the council.“We’ve been lucky to have you at the local

level,” said councilwoman Lynne Robinson. “And now we’ll be lucky to have you at the regional level.”

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace, who has butted heads with Balducci repeatedly on the council, was effusive in his praise.

“The phrase iron sharpens iron keeps com-ing to mind when I think about you and me,” he said. “I think looking back at the entire six years you’ve made me a better man and a more effective leader. And I think in the first couple years it was by learning how to fight a lot bet-ter.”

In her tenure on the council, Balducci said she worked with amazing people and leaders who accomplished a multitude of goals. Among those are the new city hall, an upgraded 911 call center, updates on land-use plans around the city, transportation updates and light rail. She said in her tenure she had seen more than 10,000 staff presentations.

In other council news:• Incumbent councilmembers John Stokes,

John Chelminiak, Jennifer Robertson and council newcomer Vandana Slatter were sworn in by King County Superior Court Judge Brian Gain. Slatter is replacing Claudia Balducci on the council. The council will choose the next mayor during its next meeting on Jan. 4.

• Council heard proposals for an initial af-fordable housing strategy, and many members expressed concern with the proposal not going far enough.

“I think you captured it very well in scope and approach,” councilmember Lynne Robin-son said. “But I’m not sure it was as robust as it

could have been.”Robinson and councilmember John Stokes

had worked together since first mention of the strategy in the comprehensive plan to make any plan for affordable housing stronger. Stokes called the initial strategy (which mainly in-volved contacting all stakeholders and looking for public engagement) “timid.”

A tweaked plan would be presented to council again in January. An ultimate plan to address Bellevue’s affordable housing issue would be presented to the council in November 2016, according to current plans.

• Council agreed to an interlocal agreement continuing to partner with Mercer Island and receiving shoreline Marine Patrol services in exchange for Bellevue Police Department spe-

cial services like K-9, SWAT, forensics services and others. The two cities first entered the agreement four years ago. Cost is expected to be minimal for both entities.

• Council approved more than $1 million to KPFF Consulting Engineers to “develop initial design” on an inside high occupancy vehicle lane and outside sidewalk or shoulder from the “Y” intersection of southbound Bellevue Way Southeast to the Bellevue Park and Ride.

• Last week council approved funding to re-store Bellevue Police Department’s bicycle pa-trol unit. The unit had been cut to save money during the recession in 2011. The funding will increase Bellevue police by five, with four bike patrol officers and one Corporal.

Best Starts for Kids board adds Bellevue contingentSeveral Bellevue figures were recently

appointed to the advisory board to help im-plement Best Starts for Kids, King County Executive Dow Constantine’s initiative to increase the number of children and youth who reach adulthood healthy and able to achieve their full potential.

The Bellevue School District’s Shomari Jones, Eastside Pathway Founder Janet Levenger, Bellevue Parks and Community Services’ Terry Smith and Kindering’s Early Learning Manager Enrica Hampton will join 31 other leaders on the board.

“I’m grateful to have a talented, respected and diverse group of experts and commu-nity leaders helping guide our initiative to transform the way we invest in our chil-dren’s future,” said Executive Constantine. “Together, we will deliver outcomes that put more children and youth in our region on a path toward lifelong success.”

Members of the Children and Youth Advisory Board reflect the cultural and geographic diversity of the county and have demonstrated a commitment to children and youth. They include content experts,

community leaders, educators, researchers and representatives of service providers and nonprofit organizations. Members must be confirmed by the Metropolitan King County Council.

The Board will advise the County on implementation and oversight of the

children and youth programs to be funded by the six-year levy approved by voters last month. Board members will ensure that levy funds deliver the prevention and early intervention strategies needed to improve health and well-being outcomes in King County.

-person Conor Laffey told the Reporter on Dec. 15.

The district asked the WIAA to con-duct a fact-finding investigation into allegations against the Bellevue High School football program Aug. 25. Those allegations included that athletes had received subsidized hous-ing to gain eligibility, that coaches coordinated tuition payments for athletes and other charges.

A month later, Blackstone and Westinghouse, former federal prosecutors now with Seattle-based Yarmuth Wilsdon PLLC, were hired to conduct the investigation.

Questions concerning the tactics investigators used began shortly thereafter.

“I know what real racism looks like, and it is peeking ugly through the door at Bellevue High School. It makes me sad,” said Marisa Spooner-LeDuff, Ty-son Penn’s legal guardian.

Allegations of racial bias first publicly emerged on Oct. 20 at a school board meeting, when two community mem-bers said that they had heard of investi-gators identifying themselves as federal or FBI investigators and showing up at peoples homes and questioning their neighbors.

Complaints surrounding one inves-tigator led to him being removed from the case in October.

Said investigator, who interviewed Bellevue High School senior Chris King in October, specifically asked him how

certain African-American team mem-bers — such as Justus Rogers, Isaac and Jacob Garcia, Isaiah Gilchrist, Tyson Penn and Tyren Sams — could afford to live in Bellevue, King said.

While the investigator did ask King if he ever saw coaches give anyone money or other handouts to anyone, King said he was not asked about his financial situation or how his single mother could afford to live in Bellevue.

“Justus has two parents, I have one. I’m white, he’s African-American, yet he still didn’t ask how come I was living in Bellevue,” he said.

While many players have transferred into the district, the investigator asked King specifically about six current and two former Bellevue football players, all of whom are African-American, he said.

“I know several players that didn’t go to Bellevue

from the start, but he never asked about them, which kind of bothered me because the only difference I found was that they were white and not black,” King said.

But, volunteer coach for the football program, Mike Rogers, said that there are probably more white kids who have moved into the district than there are black kids.

Another white student athlete and his family interviewed by investigators last month said they were never questioned about their finances or how they were able to afford to live in Bellevue.

After showing up at her Seattle home and questioning her neighbors, Spooner-LeDuff was interviewed by investigators in October and questioned

about her finances and how she and her husband could afford to live in Bellevue and Seattle.

In a letter sent to members of the football program dated Oct. 23, Execu-tive Director of Schools John Harrison acknowledged that the district had received complaints about the method and scope of the investigation and that the investigator in question had been prohibited from further participation in the case.

Additionally, the district took steps to protect students’ rights by requiring all requests for interviews go through the district.

Nine families selected by the WIAA investigators were approached by the district for interviews in November. All but one declined.

The WIAA declined to identify the families they requested interviews from due to the ongoing investigation.

Marianne Jones, an attorney who was present when a Bellevue High School counselor was questioned by WIAA investigators Nov. 25, said that a list of students provided by Westinghouse contained only black football players. The district confirmed that the WIAA requested interviews with the counsel-ors, but were unaware of what trans-pired during the interviews.

“I couldn’t identify any white football players. All of (the names) that I could see on that list were black football play-ers,” she said.

When interviewing Perry Satterlee, his wife and son, Jake, on Nov. 20, lead investigator Blackstone specifically asked about a handful of black students.

“He asked my son about some of the best athletes on the team. My son gave him some names of players that didn’t seem to fit who he was looking for, and who were not transfer students, and then he started to provide a list of names of ‘starters’ whom he perceived had transferred,” Satterlee said.

Those students were Penn, Gilchrist and the Garcia brothers.

The Satterlees — who are caucasian

and the sole family who consented to a WIAA interview in November — were never asked about their financial situ-ation as Spooner-LeDuff was or King was asked to speculate on, according to Perry Satterlee.

The focus on African-American students came as a surprise to many members of the community, including Mike Rogers.

“I was surprised. Once I heard that almost all the kids being questioned were minority kids, you’ve got to think that something is wrong,” he said.

The WIAA and the district have a meeting set for Friday, Dec. 18 to review the progress of the investigation and discuss any issues or improvements.

Sammamish Totems freshman Cassidy Schilling, center, knocks the ball away from a Foster player in the first half on Dec. 14 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue. The Totems defeated the Bulldogs 58-44 to improve their overall record to 2-3.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Proficient defense and re-bounding in the final 12 min-utes of regulation propelled the Sammamish Totems girls basketball team to a victory against the Foster Bulldogs.

Early in the third quarter the Totems clung to a meager 26-24 lead but outscored Foster 32-20 down the stretch, earning a 58-44 win on Dec. 14 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue. The Totems improved to 2-3 over-all with the win. Sammamish head coach Michael Schick was glad to see his team dial up the intensity with the out-come of the game in question in the second half.

“We turned up the defen-sive tenacity and rebounding. When we rebound we’re a good ball-club but when we have those mental lapses it turns into a dogfight,” Schick said.

Sammamish’s offense was clicking throughout the dura-tion of the game. Totems’ se-

nior guard Princess Mejorada consistently drove the lane for easy buckets and finished with 15 points. Sammamish guard Aleyah Bennett also had 15 points and hit four three-pointers in the win. One of Bennett’s made three-pointers came from at least 25 feet away from the basket. The Totems, who advanced to the Class 2A state tourna-ment in Yakima last season before losing to East Valley (Spokane) and Lynden, have a vastly different roster this season.

“We did lose a lot of seniors and a lot of players from last year. We got to play with a lot more tenacity this year. This team is a lot scrap-pier,” Schick said. “They have to work for everything they get and have to play to the whistle every time. We have a good mental makeup and we’re start-ing to get there. KingCo (KingCo Conference) is going to be tough but it is going to prepare us for the postseason.”

Newport sophomore Alexa Hsia, middle, looks to distribute the ball against the Holy Names Cougars on Dec. 8 at Newport High School in Factoria. The Knights will play Inglemoor at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 at Newport High School.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

The outcome of a back-and-forth contest between the Holy Names Cougars and the Newport Knights girls basketball teams went down to the wire in a non-league contest between two storied programs.

With Holy Names clinging to a 46-43 lead with less than a minute in regulation, the Newport Knights had three offensive pos-sessions in the final minute of play. Unfortu-nately for Newport, they were 0-for-3 from beyond the arc. Newport sophomore Vanessa Hsia missed a three-pointer from the top of the key with seven seconds left in the game and Holy Names post player Lindsey Cleary corralled the rebound. Cleary was fouled and then knocked down two free throws with 5.3 seconds left in regulation, lifting the Cougars to a 48-43 win on Dec. 8 at Newport High School in Factoria. Cleary scored eight of her game-high 12 points in the second half. The majority of her buckets came in the paint.

“In our first game against Cleveland, Lind-

sey had 15 points and 14 rebounds with 10 of those rebounds coming on the offensive glass. Tonight she had another great game. I think that is going to be key for us,” Holy Names head coach Amy Donovan said.

Newport started the game off strong build-ing a 16-7 lead late in the first quarter of play. Holy Names battled back, tying the game at 22-22 at halftime. Newport head coach Travis Whitaker said his team had chances to win the game but didn’t seize them.

“We just got to keep fighting. We had lots of opportunities to finish the game. We didn’t get it done. There was plays to be made. We just need to make those plays,” Whitaker said.

Hsia led the Knights with a team-high eight points in the loss. Freshman Luci Stewart had seven points and Anateya Sommerville had six points in the loss.

The Knights captured their first win of the 2015-16 season with a 60-56 win against the Redmond Mustangs on Dec. 11. Woodinville defeated Newport 66-38 on Dec. 12. The Knights (1-4) will host Inglemoor at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 at Newport High School.
