Community expresses support for coaches placed on leaveBY TJ MARTINELL
Kirkland residents are coming to the de-fense of two Juanita
High School (JHS) football coaches placed on paid administrative leave by the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) in connec-tion with the alleged sexual assault of a senior student by four freshman football
players. Four C-team football
players are accused of sexually assaulting a special-needs student on Oct. 22 in the school locker room. All four players have been expelled from the school pending the result of the LWSD investigation and have yet to be charged by the King County Prosecu-tor’s O� ce.
A letter was sent via email
to the parents of Juanita High School students last month notifying them that the coaches would be on leave during the school district’s investigation.
� e letter did not name the two coaches but numer-ous sources have con� rmed to the Reporter that they are varsity head coach Shaun Tarantola and assistant coach Lele Te’o.
� e football team was
recently bestowed the An-nual Sportsmanship Award from the Paci� c Northwest Football O� cials Asso-ciation (PNFOA), which is granted to the school with the expectation that the coaching sta� will give the award to an individual foot-ball player who is planning on furthering his education a� er graduation.
Emails written to the LWSD and JHS o� cials
expressed dismay at having the coaches removed at the end of the season, as well as concerns about the internal investigation process.
“Not being able to � n-ish this season with his coaches, to express his gratitude and thank them for their support, leadership and years of commitment, has been especially hard on my son who is a senior this year,” wrote Steve and
Lisa Boeggeman to JHS Principal Gary Moed. “We have lived in the Juanita community for almost 20 years. Our boys have been involved in many di� erent sports activities over the years and I can honestly tell you none of their past coaches have made an impact on them like their JHS football coaches. � ey have learned how to be
Lakeview Elementary � rst grader Sadie Reyes works on an assignment using a typewriter. First grade teacher Brad Coulter allows his students to use typewriters to work on their spelling, grammar and punctuation without the use of modern tools such as spellcheck or autocorrect. Coulter acquired the typewriters through purchases on eBay and Cragislist.org. TJ MARTINELL, Reporter.
Lakeview teacher uses typewriters to teach writing to studentsBY TJ MARTINELL
At 11 a.m. every day in Room 112 at Lakeview Elementary it sounds like a newsroom from the 1900s. Rather than scribbling with pencils, pens or even laptops, the students in
Brad Coulter’s � rst grade class hone their writing and spelling skills with the use of the original word processor - the typewriter. With printed words on the walls in front of them, the students work on writ-ing assignments, such
as small-moment topics assigned by Coulter. When they’re � nished, they hand him their � nished work complete with crossed out mistakes designed to teach them how to write without the aid of electronic tools such as autocorrect and
spellcheck. At the begin-ning of each week they are assigned a typewriter, ranging from the large Royal to the Lettera 32 Olivetti manual - the same one used by author Cor-mac McCarthy - which is selected from notecards.

Man arrested for threats to kill police
BY TJ MARTINELL
A Kirkland man with a criminal history was arrested in Seattle a� er making re-peated threats on Facebook to kill white police o� cers in Ferguson, Mo., including former FPD o� cer Darren Wilson.
Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar was arrested by the Fed-eral Bureau of Investigation Monday for three counts of interstate threats. Abdul-Jabbaar began making the comments starting in August, when FPD o� cer Darrel Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. Wilson recently stepped down from his position a� er a Grand Jury declined to indict him on charges of manslaughter.
Abdul-Jabbaar eventu-ally came to the attention of the FBI’s International Terrorism squad when he allegedly called for killing cops on his Facebook ac-count. A Philadelphia native, Abdul-Jabbaar also lived in Michigan and claimed on his Facebook page to have just moved into a Kirkland apart-ment. Investigators were able to con� rm his residence through the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development, from which he receives subsidized housing bene� ts.
Five days a� er the shoot-ing, Abdul-Jabbaar allegedly posted a message complain-ing that the police hadn’t released the name of the police o� cer.
“� en we can � nd where that cop’s child goes to school at and hope that the same can be returned back to that white [racial slur],” he alleg-edly wrote according to the charging documents.
On Aug. 30, Abdul-Jabbaar allegedly reposted a news report claiming video surveillance contradicted the o� cial story of what had happened during the Fer-guson shooting, writing “we really need to start killing the police.”
Other messages and posts included “I would love to smoke a white motha [exple-tive] cop,” as well as “We the oppressed people need to kill this white cop” along with a repost of a news story con-taining Wilson’s address.
On Nov. 11, Abdul-Jabbaar allegedly wrote “Are there any REAL BLACK MEN that would love to go down to Ferguson Missouri to give back those bullets to Police O� cer [D.W.] � red into the body of Mike Brown. If we’re unable to locate O� cer [D.W.], then

Coulter’s own experience writing with his father’s old Olympia typewriter while at college. � ough computers, laptops and now electronic tablets le� them obsolete, he says he still has a fondness for
the machines. “I’ve always had a thing
for typewriters,” he said. “� ere’s just something magical about it.”
He got the idea of bringing typewriters into class a� er seeing how his students reacted to them
with natural curiosity and fascination. Because they are purely mechanical, aside from one electronic typewriter he found in a garbage dump on Lopez Island, he said there’s little instruction or training required to use them.
In fact, allowing them to explore the devices is one of the things that has made it such a success with students.
A typewriter collector, Coulter amassed them gradually through eBay and Craigslist. � ough many of them list at a high price, he said he snatches them up for $20-30, and on Craigslist he doesn’t have to pay for shipping.
“I’m crazy about them,” he said. “I also have sort of a collector gene. It’s sort of a dangerous hobby.”
It’s a hobby that has piqued the interest of the students, some of whom have had their parents get them a typewriter to use at home. When asked what they enjoyed about typing, the students said they liked the staccato rhythm
it makes when they type and it was easier to write than doing it by hand. As part of their assignments, they have written poetry and short stories, which Coulter keeps in a binder.
Another advan-tage the typewrit-ers o� er is their durability and lack of maintenance.
Aside from hav-ing to replace the ink rib-bons, which he orders from a company in California, he said the machines run without any troubles. � e
yougest model is at least 30 years old and some of them are from the 1930-50s.
Although the students are free to write in journals
instead of type, Coulter said the majority of students choose the latter.
Not only is it enjoyable for them to type, he said, but it helps
improve speci� c skills, such as spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Without autocorrect or spellcheck, the mis-
takes cannot be deleted or erased. At the same time, Coulter tells students not to start over with a fresh sheet of paper and instead leave the mistakes and cross them out.
Doing so, he said, gives them the freedom to make mistakes and continue writing, while teaching them to give more thought to what they write.
“Without spellcheck, they have to really sound out the words,” he said. “When you have to com-mit to the letter you think more about it.”

a team player, to respect one another and that hard work pays off. Coach Lele’s and T’s dedication to this program and this community has taught them what positive role models look like.”
Gary Sumner wrote to Moed, saying the coaches shouldn’t be blamed for what happened.
“In no way do I believe the football program fosters, promotes or supports the behavior and actions of the four freshman boys,” he wrote. “It has now been a month and we were hoping the internal process would have been completed by now. The players and the football program has suf-fered a huge set back on what was a great season by both freshman and varsity players. Without dismissing the severity of the situation I believe it is not the respon-sibility of the coaches to chaperone freshman during the day, especially on a day
when they don’t even have practice.”
Rob Holden wrote directly to the Reporter defend-ing the integrity of the two coaches.
“Regarding supervi-sion or lack thereof being in question, the coaches can’t be everywhere and see everything all the time,” he wrote. “It’s not physically possible. The fact that the incident was cut short due to the intervention of another player speaks to the positive influence the coaches have had, as opposed to allowing it to continue due to peer pressure or complacence.”
Tom and Beth Griffith wrote in a letter to the Reporter that their two sons had played football for the Rebels under the two coach-es and called it the “highlight of their high school careers.”
“Both these men acted as mentors, leaders, and role models for my twin boys who are now sophomores in college,” the couple wrote.
The four students were
arrested Oct. 23 after the male student and his family told police officers that he was assaulted the day before while in the school locker room by several younger male students. They were interviewed and released to their parents later that day.
Because of student privacy laws, the school cannot di-vulge further information, including discipline, accord-ing to Moed. Students are given an emergency expul-sion if they impose a danger to other students or faculty members, according to Lake Washington School District spokesperson Kathryn Rieth. They can be allowed back to school if they are no longer determined to be a danger.
There has been no time table for a conclusion to the LWSD’s investigation or charges against the students from the King County Pros-ecutor’s Office.
It is unclear why the two coaches were placed on leave.
we’ll return them to his wife and if not her then his children.”
Two days before the Grand Jury’s decision whether or not to indict Wilson was announced, Abdul-Jabbaar allegedly wrote “I got my money to go to Ferguson… Who else is going to put in some work?”
When the Grand Jury decision was announced on Nov. 24, Abdul-Jabbaar alleg-edly re-posted a news report containing Wilson’s name and photograph with the message “Ready to go and kill some cops.” He later allegedly wrote “We need to kill this white motha [expletive] and anything that has a badge on.” A day later he posted a cartoon graphic depicting a black man shooting a police officer in uniform. Above the graphic he allegedly wrote “We black folks shouldn’t been doing this to the police last night. We MUST arm ourselves against the white oppressors that wear guns and badges. It’s time to start carrying guns as well to kill the white oppressors.”
Facebook records show
that he allegedly attempted to acquire a handgun in late October despite being a con-victed felon for unlawful pos-session of a firearm in 2009. The conviction stemmed
from a shooting arising from a domestic violence incident with his friend’s sister, ac-cording to the prosecutors. He was also convicted on drug charges.

Nourishing Network brings out best in Kirklanders
Last week, I had the opportunity to wit-ness, once again, what a fantastic community Kirkland really is. With everything going on in the world, it can sometimes be hard to agree with, relate to or even talk with your neigh-bor. But on the Tuesday before � anksgiving, I watched Kirkland come together. � rough the Nourishing Network food drive, almost 200 donors from all over Kirkland – including families, retired citizens, local businesses, a Girl Scout troop and even a second grade class – dropped o� box a� er box of food for the drive. And later that a� ernoon, we helped the sta� from six Kirkland elementary schools get those boxes of food into the hands of Kirkland families in need of extra help. It was Kirkland helping Kirkland.
� is particular type of food drive began three years ago when the Kirkland Nourishing Network (KNN) was created from a group of citizens who wanted solutions for food scarcity and hunger in Kirkland. KNN still meets to this day and the discussion table includes community members from business, PTAs, City Council, Hopelink, civic organizations, churches and non-pro� ts. Among other en-deavors and discussions, helping families with children during the school break times rose up to become a priority project. We started with a few families at one elementary and because of the outpouring of support from Kirkland, we expanded to six schools at � anksgiving and will expand to even more for the December holiday break.
In one day, 8,000 pounds of food was lov-ingly donated and then passed along to more than 350 people in 67 families. Some donors included little notes of encouragement and well wishes, some decorated the food box with wrapping paper or hand prints from kids, some included a grocery card so families could buy meat as well, and some donated extra items, like baby formula, in addition to the “standard” box. A representative from Hopelink was at the pickup location to answer questions and remind families to use the ser-vices that Hopelink o� ers. And the Kirkland school counselors helped to coordinate with their school families for box pickup. � is particular food drive model was even borrowed by, and put into use by, two Redmond schools that are helping their families too.
It was an amazing community e� ort and the recipients share their gratitude. One family said “� ank you so much for the food box. You have no idea how much it was needed.” Another mom said it was the � rst time they could have their extended family together for � anksgiving because there was enough food to go around.
I’ve always enjoyed living in Kirkland, but now I’m exceedingly awed, humbled and proud as well. � ank you neighbors.

Award-winning � lmmaker debuts new documentary in Kirkland
A large crowd � lled the Kirkland Perfor-mance Center on Nov. 22 to view the Seattle debut of To Light a Candle, a documentary produced and directed by award-winning jour-nalist and human rights activist Maziar Bahari. Mr. Bahari’s � lm tells the story of decades of repression, intimidation and persecution against members of the Bahá’í Faith in Iran, a peaceful religious minority whose teachings include the oneness of humankind and the
universal right to education.Mr. Bahari is perhaps best known as
the subject of the recently-released � lm Rosewater, directed by Jon Stewart of � e Daily Show. Although Mr. Bahari is
not a member of the Bahá’í Faith, he cre-ated To Light a Candle to document the
decades-long persecution of the Bahá’í’s and “to incite positive change” in his native Iran.
� e � lm was followed by a panel discus-sion featuring several Eastside members of the Bahá’í Faith who � ed Iran to escape systematic persecution at the hands of the Iranian govern-ment. � e Seattle-area Bahá’í communities plan a follow up event on Feb. 27 to observe “Education is not a Crime Day,” which high-lights the Iranian government’s denial of the right of higher education to all Bahá’í’s in Iran.Andrew Haring, Kirkland
New road will only bene� t car dealerships
Kirkland holds celebration for new street extension, please give me a break.
“Not only will these 900 feet improve the connectivity and tra� c � ow of the Totem Lake economic engine, they will also help catalyze local redevelopment.”
Nine-hundred feet? A city that has gone from 28,000 to 80,000+ residents, since I have
lived here, with only 900 feet of new road? Sounds like all it will help are the car dealer-ships nearby.Don Hanley, Kirkland
What do you think of extra junk mail?
I wonder if the Kirkland Reporter would be willing to ask all of it’s readers what they do with all the ‘extra junk mail’ that comes with the newspaper each � ursday? It would make for an interesting survey - perhaps allowing the readers to decide whether or not they want all this extra paper. Personally, I don’t and immediately put it in the recycling but not without sorrow at the amount of waste; paper, ink, gas for delivery etc. It would be great if the Reporter could become a leader in reducing such incredible waste and I’d be stunned if I learnt I was alone in this thought.Ghislaine Bernard, Kirkland
Reporter’s Note deserves Dishonorable Mention
� e Reporter’s Note in last week’s issue was a lousy, poorly-written story, so � lled with meaningless scribble-babble in the � rst para-graph - far and away from the point the editor had intended when he asked for, or rather ordered - a story about Christmas tree sales. It was so distant in time and place that he had already composed the headline: “Forget Black Friday, get a Christmas Tree.” � e only likely appreciation might possibly be a Dishonorable Mention in the 2015 Bulwer-Lytton Awards for Failed E� ort.
� e paragraph: � e weekend following � anksgiving, including “Black Friday,” is when many Americans choose to show their gratitude and appreciation for their many blessings in life by storming the gates of retail stores, swarming through aisles and engaging in quasi-mortal combat with another soccer mom over who will ultimately claim posses-sion of the new electronics gadget at a ques-tionably reduced price, only to � nd out it’s already obsolete by the time they get it to the checkout stand.Ross Murphy, Kirkland

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…
Police Blotter
By MATT PheLPS
Two Kirkland men pleaded guilty Nov. 26 to running a hash oil operation out of Inglenook apartments, which resulted in an explo-sion at the complex last year. The apartments are on the boundary of Kirkland and Kenmore. The explosion and fire threw debris some 25
feet, moved the north wall of the building 6-8 inches, and disconnected the roof from the building walls.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced charges against several alleged hash oil manufacturers in the region in July, part of “Operation Shattered.”
Robby W. Meiser, 46, and Bruce W. Mark, 62, pleaded guilty in federal court to en-
dangering human life while manufacturing hash oil and marijuana.
Meiser and Mark were charged in July. The endangering human life is punishable by up to ten years in prison. Maintaining a drug involved premises is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and manufactur-ing hash oil and marijuana is punishable by up to five years
in prison.The cases were investi-

The man believed to have been the driver in a single vehicle ac-
cident Sept. 19 on Simonds Road in Kirkland has been accused by King County Prosecutor’s Office of being a “danger to the commu-nity” after leaving the scene of the accident that left one of the passengers dead.
Bail has been set at $100,000.
Thomas Cushman Bird, II of Woodinville, 48, has been charged with vehicular
homicide, vehicular assault and hit and run. Although he has no felony convic-tions, prosecutors stated he has an extensive history of violating traffic laws going back to 1989, including negligent driving, reckless driving, hit and run at-tended and unattended and no valid operator’s license with valid identification (NVOL).
“The defendant cannot or will not comply with the rules of the road and now a man has died,” the charging papers claim. “He is a dan-ger to the community.”
The accident occurred late in the evening on Sept. 19 after Bird had been drinking at a local Kirkland casino with several friends, including Kenmore resident and Redmond High School graduate Kyle J. Reel and Dave “Beaver” Zielinski, one of the fisherman on the boat “Time Bandit,” featured on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch. Then they left in a Porsche Bird had borrowed from a friend. At around 10:45 p.m., police claim Cushman was going around 80 mph in a 35 mph zone when he
lost control, crossed into the oncoming lane, left the roadway and crashed into a fence and up an embank-ment at Simonds Road Northeast and 92nd Avenue Northeast. The impact threw Reel, who had been sitting behind the driver’s seat, into the front of the car, causing him to suffer fa-tal injuries. When respond-ing bystanders arrived they mistakenly believed he was the driver and pulled him out. Barely conscious from severe rib fractures, Zielin-ski told people that “Bird” had been driving, which
police at the scene assumed was a nickname for Reel, the presumed driver.
Prosecutors allege that Bird left the scene of the accident immediately, despite suffering significant injuries, and walked to Zielinski’s home three miles away. He was discovered there the next morning when a friend arrived to take care of Zielinski’s dogs. After explaining to her what had happened, Bird allegedly told the person not to contact the police or medics. It was then the police discovered that Reel
was not the driver. Police were then in-
formed that a Shoreline medic unit had responded to the Zielinski residence to treat Bird, who eventually was transported to Habor-view Medical Center. Bird allegedly had injuries that were consistent with that of a car accident, according to the medic supervisor who contacted the police. They also claimed Bird had ad-mitted to the medics he had been driving the Porsche.

Kirkland man serves 10-month sentence for extortionBy TJ MarTinell
A Kirkland man connected with the Bandidos mo-
torcycle gang was found guilty in 2013 of extorting money from a Redmond business owner in 2012 and ultimately served a 10-month sentence through King County’s Electronic Home Deten-tion Program.
Robert Dairold Golden, 39, was charged Dec. 27 2012 for the crime that in-volved extorting $57,500 from the owner of a custom fishing-rod shop. He was sentenced June 21, 2013 after initially plead-ing not guilty.
Golden has had a long history of run-ins with police, with 23 prior bookings and 18 arrest warrants.
Since 1992, he has been convicted of fourth-degree assault, involved in illegal drugs, second-de-gree theft as well as violat-ing a no-contact order for
domestic violence.The arrest took place
when Golden and an accomplice visited a Redmond-based custom fishing-rod shop on Dec. 21, 2012 to unlawfully collect titles to the victim’s truck, trailer, boat and some dirt bikes.
The victim, a 61-year-old Kirkland resident, had befriended Golden three years ago on their com-mon fishing interest, and Golden loaned the man $35,000 to kick-start the victim’s current business.
Court documents indicate at the time of the loan, Golden offered the money because he had recently “come into a large amount of money and was able to make the loan with little or no conditions.”
Later, Golden contacted the victim asking for the money back, and the vic-tim said he would find a way to get him the money in order to avoid trouble, according to court docu-ments.
When the victim didn’t comply, Golden and a man, believed at the time to have been the presi-dent of the North Seattle chapter of the Bandidos motorcycle gang, walked into the victim’s shop, looked around and left.
When Golden showed up a week later in early December 2012, he alleg-edly told the victim that “the loan had been sold to the Bandidos and the man who he brought in the prior week was the president of the group.
His previous loan of $35,000 was now $57,000,” the documents continue.
“Golden emphasized that the Bandidos would expect to be paid and would be in contact soon to discuss details,” police documents say.
Various forms of
harassment allegedly continued and the victim grew increasingly con-cerned. As a way to oblige the Bandidos Seattle president, the victim “gave away” a $700 fly rod but still received warnings to “take care of it.”
Golden kept calling, and during a conversation
on Dec. 18, 2012, court docu-ments state Golden told the victim he had until that Friday to get
them $57,500 “or they’re going
to come and take everything out of
your shop and shut you down,” referring to the Bandidos gang mem-bers. The next day there was another phone con-versation, but this time police were present and recorded what was said.
“You really under-stand what’s going on?” asked Golden. “They get stuff, that’s what they do.
They’re gonna shut the whole thing down, it’s not a joke… Bike clubs are not a joke. I do favors, collections for them.
“That’s their money,” the police further re-corded him saying. “They don’t care about you. They want the money. These people hurt people.”
Golden also told the victim to Google the Ban-didos to see the extent of how far they would go to get what they wanted.
When the Dec. 21 deadline came, police staked out the victim’s shop. Golden arrived with an accomplice and spoke with the victim about the value of his truck.
Golden made a few calls to determine the value, while his accomplice was seen looking around the store and typing on the store computer, the docu-ments continue.
Golden eventually directed Edwards to take the victim’s truck around the back of the store
to load a dirt bike and trailer, the charges state.
But when Edwards stepped out, he was met by police and arrested. Golden “fled to the back of the store” and ran about 50 yards before he was caught and arrested.
The two were taken into custody but because their charges were filed after the three-day mark, they were let out shortly after, said a spokesman for the King County Prosecu-tor’s Office. As part of his sentencing, Golden is also prohibited from having contact with the victim for five years. According to the county website, the EHD program “allows defendants to serve all or some portion of their pre-trial or sentenced time at home. They are monitored electroni-cally and are confined to their homes except when following an approved schedule that includes at-tendance at work, school or treatment.”
Warrant issued for former Sonics playerBy TJ MarTinell
A $20,000 bench war-rant has been issued for the arrest of former Son-ics basketball player and Kirkland resident Robert Swift after he failed to
appear in King County Superior Court Wednes-day.
Swift had been charged with unlawfully possess-ing a sawed-off shotgun in connection with the raid of an alleged meth house last month near
Helen Keller Elementary in Kirkland. His arraign-ment was scheduled for Wednesday.
The shotgun was al-legedly discovered inside of the meth house along with nearly 30 other firearms during a raid by Redmond and Kirkland Police during October.
The Reporter first broke the news that Swift was living in the Kirkland home after discovering that police had been called to the residence in the days following the raid. The police reports, obtained through a public infor-mation request, repeat-edly mentioned Swift, and Kirkland police later confirmed his identity.
The owner of the home on the 14000 block of 108th Ave., Trygve Lief Bjorkstam, 54, has been charged by the King County Prosecutor’s Of-fice with buying, manu-facturing and selling methamphetamine and heroin.
Swift had been previ-ously evicted out of his Sammamish home after it was foreclosed. At the time of the October police raid, he had been
living in Bjorkstam’s home for six months, according to police documents. He was detained and brought to the Redmond Police Department, where he told investigators that he helped “clean the place up,” but wasn’t involved in the drug dealing. He admitted, according to the documents, that he had a heroin addiction and got his heroin from Bjorkstam.
Swift also told in-vestigators that he had accompanied Bjorkstam to confront a drug dealer who had failed to give him $2,000 in heroin. Swift stated that both of them were armed during the confrontation, the documents continue.
While being inter-viewed, Bjorkstam alleg-edly told investigators that Swift was “a good guy” and that he hadn’t been involved in any of the drug deals.
The sawed-off shotgun was a Winchester Model 37. The barrel length was only 11.5 inches long and had no visible serial numbers on it when dis-covered by police.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity 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 de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing 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.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
