Community expresses support for coaches placed on leave BY TJ MARTINELL

K
irkland residents are coming to the defense of two Juanita High School (JHS) football coaches placed on paid administrative leave by the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) in connection 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 specialneeds 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 Prosecutor’s Office. 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. The letter did not name the two coaches but numerous sources have confirmed to the Reporter that they are varsity head coach Shaun Tarantola and assistant coach Lele Te’o. The football team was
recently bestowed the Annual Sportsmanship Award from the Pacific Northwest Football Officials Association (PNFOA), which is granted to the school with the expectation that the coaching staff will give the award to an individual football player who is planning on furthering his education after graduation. Emails written to the LWSD and JHS officials
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 finish 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

A Kirkland man with a criminal history was arrested in Seattle after making repeated threats on Facebook to kill white police officers in Ferguson, Mo., including former FPD officer Darren Wilson. Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Monday for three counts of interstate threats. AbdulJabbaar began making the comments starting in August, when FPD officer Darrel Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. Wilson recently stepped down from his position after a Grand Jury declined to indict him on charges of manslaughter. Abdul-Jabbaar eventually came to the attention of the FBI’s International Terrorism squad when he allegedly called for killing cops on his Facebook account. A Philadelphia native, Abdul-Jabbaar also lived in Michigan and claimed on his Facebook page to have just moved into a Kirkland apartment. Investigators were able to confirm his residence through the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development, from which he receives subsidized housing benefits. Five days after the shooting, Abdul-Jabbaar allegedly posted a message complaining that the police hadn’t released the name of the police officer. “Then we can find where that cop’s child goes to school at and hope that the same can be returned back to that white [racial slur],” he allegedly wrote according to the charging documents. On Aug. 30, AbdulJabbaar allegedly reposted a news report claiming video surveillance contradicted the official story of what had happened during the Ferguson shooting, writing “we really need to start killing the police.” Other messages and posts included “I would love to smoke a white motha [expletive] cop,” as well as “We the oppressed people need to kill this white cop” along with a repost of a news story containing Wilson’s address. On Nov. 11, AbdulJabbaar allegedly wrote “Are there any REAL BLACK MEN that would love to go down to Ferguson Missouri to give back those bullets to Police Officer [D.W.] fired into the body of Mike Brown. If we’re unable to locate Officer [D.W.], then [ more FERGUSON page 3 ]

www.kirklandreporter.com 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. Though 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.

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 suffered 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 responsibility of the coaches to chaperone freshman during the day, especially on a day

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

when they don’t even have practice.” Rob Holden wrote directly to the Reporter defending the integrity of the two coaches. “Regarding supervision 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 coaches 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 divulge further information, including discipline, according to Moed. Students are given an emergency expulsion 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 Prosecutor’s Office. It is unclear why the two coaches were placed on leave.

from a shooting arising from a domestic violence incident with his friend’s sister, according to the prosecutors. He was also convicted on drug charges.

Nourishing Network brings out best in Kirklanders Last week, I had the opportunity to witness, 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 neighbor. But on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I watched Kirkland come together. Through 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 off box after box of food for the drive. And later that afternoon, we helped the staff 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. This 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, on. churches and non-profits.

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 Thursday? 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.

Reporter’s Note deserves Dishonorable Mention The Reporter’s Note in last week’s issue was a lousy, poorly-written story, so filled with meaningless scribble-babble in the first paragraph - 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.” The only likely appreciation might possibly be a Dishonorable Mention in the 2015 Bulwer-Lytton Awards for Failed Effort. The paragraph: The weekend following Thanksgiving, 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 possession of the new electronics gadget at a questionably reduced price, only to find out it’s already obsolete by the time they get it to the checkout stand.

Two men plead guilty in hash oil apartment explosion mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Two Kirkland men pleaded guilty Nov. 26 to running a hash oil operation out of Inglenook apartments, which resulted in an explosion 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 manufacturing hash oil and marijuana is punishable by up to five years
in prison. The cases were investigated by multiple local and federal agencies including: the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bellevue Police Department, the Seattle Police Department and the Kirkland Police Department.

Driver of car that crashed in Kirkland, killing Kenmore man, charged tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
T
he man believed to have been the driver in a single vehicle accident Sept. 19 on Simonds Road in Kirkland has been accused by King County Prosecutor’s Office of being a “danger to the community” 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 convictions, prosecutors stated he has an extensive history of violating traffic laws going back to 1989, including negligent driving, reckless driving, hit and run attended 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 danger 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.

The impact threw Reel, who had been sitting behind the driver’s seat, into the front of the car, causing him to suffer fatal injuries. When responding bystanders arrived they mistakenly believed he was the driver and pulled him out. Barely conscious from severe rib fractures, Zielinski 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

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 admitted to the medics he had been driving the Porsche.

Kirkland man serves 10-month sentence for extortion 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-yearold Kirkland resident, had befriended Golden three years ago on their common 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 victim said he would find a way to get him the money in order to avoid trouble, according to court documents.

Kirkland man connected with the Bandidos motorcycle 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 Detention Program. Robert Dairold Golden, 39, was charged Dec. 27 2012 for the crime that involved extorting $57,500 from the owner of a custom fishing-rod shop. He was sentenced June 21, 2013 after initially pleading 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 fourthdegree assault, involved in illegal drugs, second-degree theft as well as violating a no-contact order for

harassment allegedly continued and the victim grew increasingly concerned. 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 documents 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 members. The next day there was another phone conversation, but this time police were present and recorded what was said. “You really understand 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 recorded him saying. “They don’t care about you. They want the money. These people hurt people.” Golden also told the victim to Google the Bandidos 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 documents 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 Prosecutor’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 electronically and are confined to their homes except when following an approved schedule that includes attendance at work, school or treatment.”

When the victim didn’t comply, Golden and a man, believed at the time to have been the president 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 allegedly 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.

Helen Keller Elementary in Kirkland. His arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday. The shotgun was allegedly 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 information request, repeatedly 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 Office with buying, manufacturing and selling methamphetamine and heroin. Swift had been previously 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 investigators 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 interviewed, Bjorkstam allegedly 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 discovered by police.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
