City data supports officials’ claims of flashing yellow lights’ safety Data shows lights as safe as before, despite recent collisions BY RYAN MURRAY BELLEVUE REPORTER

Flashing yellow arrows have actually made the Bellevue’s signaled intersections safer over the last ten years, despite public perception otherwise, city data shows. The flashing yellow arrows allowing motorists to turn left after yielding have become a more common sight in Bellevue in the last five years and a controversial issue in the community, with naysayers saying they allow drivers to make reckless
moves and haven’t been cost effective. “The safety of these lights presume that drivers obey rules of the road, including cell phone use, which we all know isn’t the case,” said Bellevue resident Tobiatha Tucker. Doubts were raised after the death of a toddler in late September at a flashing yellow arrow on 140th Avenue Northeast. Shortly after the accident, city traffic representatives said the lights are safe and improve the flow of traffic, a fact substantiated by data recently obtained by the Reporter. According to the data, while left turn collisions at intersections with traffic lights have increased overall, the average number of accidents at inter-

sections in which drivers must yield before turning left – with both flashing yellow lights and solid green lights – actually dropped from earlier in the decade. In 2004, there were 76 accidents at the 135 individual lights in the city where drivers had to yield before turning left. Ten years later, that number had increased to 112 collisions at 225 “protected-permissive” lights – an accident-to-light ratio of to just over .5 in 2014 compared to around .56 in 2004 (or for every 100 permissive left-turning lights, there were 56 collisions).

This election season, newcomer Eric Warwick will compete against incumbent Steve McConnell for the District 1 seat on the Bellevue School Board. The District 1 seat is the only with opposition this year. Although Sharon Taubel had originally filed to run against Carolyn Watson (who was appointed to fill a vacancy earlier this year), Taubel withdrew her candidacy for the district 2 seat. Christine Chew is running unopposed. School board members meet multiple times a month to address all aspects of the district’s policies and goals, covering everything from courses to extracurriculars to financial matters. Their responsibilities fall into four major areas: vision, accountability, structure and advocacy. The Reporter interviewed both candidates about their backgrounds and goals for the board and the district as a whole.

Virtual reality expo showcases versatile technology in Bellevue BY RYAN MURRAY BELLEVUE REPORTER
Ryan Murray, Bellevue Reporter
Cody Nowak, virtual design and construction manager for California-based Martin Bros., shoots zombies at VR Studios’ booth at 2015 SEA VR.
Once relegated to the realm of futuristic science fiction, virtual reality has changed the future of the Puget Sound area. That’s why when presenters at SEA VR, the Seattle-area virtual reality exposition, say their technologies will change industries across the world, people listen. Gail Rice, one of the organizers of the event, said the event held in Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center on Oct. 28 was a glimpse of things to come in the virtual reality industry. “We know there is a vibrant community for VR in Seattle, and a lot of that comes from the video game community,” she said. “But there are applications stretching far beyond that.” One of the ways virtual reality is being used currently is in surgery training and emergency simulations, Rice said. Cody Nowak, a virtual design and construction manager for Martin Bros. based out of Gardena, California, is using virtual

and augmented reality for other purposes. “We are using it in (architecture, engineering and construction) to use pre-construction models for design validation,” he said. “Like if we are designing a hospital, the users — in this case doctors or nurses — can actually go into that space and see how they interact.” Things which aren’t workable in tight quarters can be moved or removed. Nowak said companies will actually recoup money on reconstruction costs by getting final end-user approval. Hundreds of presenters, industry insiders and interested virtual reality users filled the Meydenbauer Center. Startups got a chance to enter a “Shark Tank” atmosphere to pitch ideas to investors. Break-off sessions with dozens of topics got a chance to discuss issues with a panel. These sessions included “Social implications in the future of VR,” “How VR will change how we do business” and “Using VR to revolutionize how medical professionals train, diagnose
and treat.” Investors are taking notice. Angela Gamba, marketing and communications vice president for Envelop VR, said her company was poised to make its next big step. Envelop, a Bellevue-based virtual reality startup, had secured $4 million in Series A funding, led by the Madrona Venture Group. That investment will allow Envelop to release its product (a data and office management virtual reality program which augments information real time to a series of screens in a virtual environment) to select virtual reality developers this winter before hardware goes to the open market. As money shifts through the virtual reality market, tech companies are taking notice. Virtual reality isn’t just for shooting zombies anymore. Although that’s still a fun part of it.

Give students time, not labels
A
survey of 66 large, urban school districts shows that students spend about 2.3 percent of their class time taking standardized tests. Put another way, that’s about 20-25 hours over the school year. Many people say that’s too much. We agree. It’s not that testing is bad. But many times tests don’t really do anyone — students, parents or teachers — any good. What they do tell is how well a student has mastered the material in a given course at the time the test is given. The problem comes in how the test results are used. If a test is given during a semester, the grade can indicate if a student needs more help to understand the course material. A best-case scenario is that the student gets the needed help. When the test given at the end of a semester, too often it pins a label on the student as being really good (an A or B), OK (the C grade), or a near or complete failure (D or F). For C, D, or F students, if often means that the student hasn’t mastered the material in a given — and arbitrary — time. Some students need more time and instruction to fully understand a subject. That rarely happens except in summer school. And that can be months after the original course was taken. It would be better to give more time and teaching as soon as it is apparent the student is having difficulty. Doing that takes more money to provide more teachers to teach more hours. Sadly, taxpayers don’t seem willing to pay for this. It’s cheaper to just shrug our shoulders and say some students are just “dumb.” But it isn’t true. And it isn’t right. Not all adults can master some new information in the same time as everyone else. When they can’t, they take more time, usually without any penalty. Students shouldn’t be treated any differently. If we want all students to succeed — and we should — let’s give them the extra time and instruction they need. Tests may be good, but they shouldn’t define someone.

Time for us all to decide what we want for Eastside T he old Sunday morning trope asks, “What’s missing from CH _ _ CH? U R!“ No, it’s not particularly funny (my pastors growing up never were). It does, however, make a quick and important point – any group of people is only as vibrant as the people who participate in it. Well, there are no letters “U” or “R” in the words, “Eastside decision-making,” but the point is no less true. It’s simply not complete without you. That the Eastside is growing is not news. It’s been popular to JAMES tout our greater diverWHITFIELD sity than Seattle’s for years – more languages spoken in the schools, more foreign-born residents, fewer percentage of white residents. Then there is the infamous reverse commute – more workers come to the Eastside from Seattle to work than vice versa. Yes, the Eastside is growing, but who’s deciding what we want to be when we grow up? Despite roughly the same population as the Eastside, Seattle has a significant structural advantage when it comes to plotting its course – Seattle is a single municipality. Public participation in city-limits-constrained political processes results in widespread policysetting. What of the Eastside? With almost
Letters One vote does matter
two-dozen municipalities, five school districts, business powerhouses with more global employees than the populations of the cities that host them, and a myriad of compassionate, engaged non-profits, it requires significant collaboration and focus to affect the whole. And affecting the whole Eastside is what’s needed to plot a coherent course. That’s the way to grow up rather than to simply hope to keep growing. So go the lessons of other U.S. communities looking to match and surpass our region’s success. A group of community leaders, led by Bellevue Downtown Association, has been traveling to peer cities around the country for the past several years to learn from their mistakes and progress. After visiting Vancouver, British Columbia, Denver, Pasadena, Austin, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, one observation shines brightly as an underpinning of their recent advances: leaders in those communities collaborated to create a plan. Despite the challenge of multiple municipal boundaries – i.e., the two dozen cities in Denver County or the long, differing histories of Minneapolis vs. St. Paul – public, private, and non-profit leadership came together to plan their future and collaborate to get there. The good news is a brand new partnership of business, non-profit
The Oct. 24 Bellevue Reporter reminded us that ”days to the election are ticking away.” Why should I care, since my one vote does not matter? But our one vote does matter. It matters a lot. Do I want to be part of something that may help lift our community? Do I want to be part of a group that votes for something that may hurt some in our community? Our responsibility to be informed matters. Also, can I put my individual needs aside and think about the good of all? Is it more important that my taxes remain low, or is it more important that all are treated fairly so all have opportunity to get ahead? For example, if Initiative 1366 succeeds, it will impact our future ability to make our tax system fair for all. Some are saying those opposing 1366 are “fear mongering.” Be concerned when you hear such language. Do I know the effects of the ballot measures?

Complaints against Energize Eastside, PSE thrown out BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
A complaint filed by two groups and three residents against Puget Sound Energy’s proposal to build 18 miles of new high voltage transmission lines on the Eastside was thrown out by a federal commission late last week after months of deliberation. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission dismissed the complaint, which alleged that PSE has not followed federal rules in planning for the new transmission line, on Oct. 22. “Contrary to (the) complainants’ vague allegations that the respondents have violated [Federal transmission planning regulations], the record before us shows that [PSE] and the other respondents have complied with the applicable transmission planning requirements,” the order from the Commission states. Energize Eastside is a $200 million project to replace 18 miles of transmission lines through four Eastside cities — Newcastle, Renton, Bellevue and Redmond. PSE says that an existing 50-year old 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line running through the center of the Eastside will not be able to deliver enough electricity during extreme weather conditions within two years time. The Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy, Citizens for Sane Eastside Energy and individuals Larry Johnson, Glenna White and Steven O’Donnell filed the complaint against PSE and other orga-
nizations on June 9. They alleged that PSE did not follow rules set forth by the commission regarding the line’s construction and its impact. As the Reporter previously reported, PSE’s approach to the new line was questioned. Utility consultant Rich Lauckhart, a former vice president at PSE who filed an affidavit on behalf of the local groups, questioned why the company did not participate in a load flow study that would study the power grid as a whole. Commission regulations also stipulate that utilities can not simply build their own high voltage or bulk power lines, he said. “Utilities do not have a monopoly on the ownership of elements of the Bulk Electric System, which Energize Eastside is part of,” said Lauckhart. “If it is ultimately determined that Energize Eastside is the best solution to a reliability problem, then any qualified entity that can build transmission lines would have the opportunity to bid on the project and subsequently build and own those lines.” PSE officials maintained that the issues brought forward by the local parties were based on inaccurate claims that led to inaccurate conclusions, and that they complainants incorrectly asserted that the Energize Eastside project will primarily benefit the larger regional system. “It is a local project to meet local needs,” said PSE spokesman Andy Wappler. PSE say there should be little, if any change in rates. Studies to calculate how much consumers might pay will not be conducted until a formal rate filing is made by PSE.

Police reports from Bellevue
October 19 Customer service criticism: An unknown suspect called the Good to Go offices in Olympia, threatening to detonate a bomb in one of their three customer service locations. As a precaution, the Bellevue office evacuated all employees and customers until police cleared the scene. Multiple people called 911 and complained that it was “poor customer service” that they were asked by Good to Go to evacuate prior to police arrival. Porsches and prescription drugs: Officers were dispatched to two suspicious vehicles parked on 155th Place Southeast with multiple subjects who were sleeping. One of the vehicles was a high-end Porsche that had been stolen out of Seattle. Officers arrived and observed drug activity in the non-stolen car, and an officer located heroin and prescription drugs. The driver of the stolen car had a $5,100 domestic violence assault warrant and was arrested. Fist fight: Security was called about an intoxicated and violent suspect who was at The Bravern. When the officers arrived, the suspect was verbally aggressive and approached the officers, holding up his fists and saying “let’s fight.” He swung at one officer, who covered his head to protect himself. He was then subdued and transported to the hospital for observation due to alcohol and heroin use.
Busted: An officer responded to a report at the Chez Ravella Apartments and found the suspect about to inject himself with a needle containing a murky brown substance. He was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and two grams of heroin were found on his person.
October 21 Burger King burglar: Around 3:40 a.m., a suspect kicked through the drive-thru window and entered the Burger King on Northeast 24th Street. He was inside for about 10 minutes and took a block of cheese, a milk container and a package of tortillas. He left via the broken window and returned several minutes later with a pry tool, which he unsuccessfully used to try and pry open the cash registers.
October 22 Tree tension On Oct. 21, an unknown subject entered the victim’s backyard and placed notes on a tree saying “do not cut” and “tree is spiked.” Victim is in the process of having the trees cut down by a treecutting service. The suspect also stole a 300-foot rope that belonged to the tree service. On Oct. 22, the victim found a note on his car stating that the neighbors do not like him and they wouldn’t even waste the time to spit on him if he was on fire. Nails had also been placed underneath his car next to the tires.
October 23 Danger to dogs: The suspect and his girlfriend were on Bel-Red Road
The suspect was witnessed beating and choking his small dog, and the officer arrived to find the suspect pinning the dog to the ground. The dog could not walk after it was released by the suspect, and was taken to Alpine Animal Hospital. The suspect was detained. Sticky fingers: Bellevue Fire requested police respond to assist them at a shelter. Upon returning to their truck, the firefighters found a suspect had removed a bag of supplies from the fire truck. They were able to get it back from her. Officers determined the suspect was extremely intoxicated. The suspect was also involved in the disturbance later that night.
October 24 Fight between friends: A victim called to report she had been dragged out of a car, beaten and robbed by her “friend.” The victim stated this was because she did not “back-up” the suspect during an earlier fight the suspect got into with an unknown male at Lucky Strike in Lincoln Square. She did not have significant injuries and did not want any medical help.
October 25 Body pillow battle: Victim called 911 and stated her boyfriend had threatened her with a gun following an argument over a body pillow. Suspect had a .45 registered to him, and it was determined that victim was afraid of the gun that sat on the night stand during the argument, but was not in play. The victim locked herself in the bathroom until police arrived.
Bellevue man convicted for killing motorcyclist while high Had double legal limit of marijuana in system BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Bellevue man who had double the legal limit for marijuana in his system when he struck and killed a motorcyclist in 2013 was sentenced to 34 months in prison Oct. 23. Floyd, 35, was sentenced to 34 months for vehicular homicide and 12 months for driving under the influence, along with five years probation. He will receive credit for time served of roughly 17 months on his vehicular homicide conviction. The victim, Blake Gaston, 23, had been riding his motorcycle on Northeast 10th Street around 6 p.m. on Oct. 4, 2013 when Floyd made a left turn to northbound 102nd Avenue Northeast striking the motorcyclist with his Acura Coupe. Gaston died from massive head trauma. A search warrant was conducted to take Floyd’s blood for a toxicology screening. The results indicate he had 9.8 nanograms of THC in his system, almost double the legal limit in Washington for driving with marijuana in your system, police state. The blood draw occurred more than three hours after the collision. “While the recreational use of marijuana is legal, it is still a drug and can impair your ability to drive. It may be legal to consume it, but it is illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana,” Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden said in the months following the crash. Gaston’s mother, Mary, sister, Brittany Blue, and girlfriend, Holly White, addressed the court during the Oct. 23 sentencing. In addition to prison time, Floyd is also prohibited from entering any establishment selling marijuana and be evaluated for substance abuse.

is one which has a protected phase (i.e. a solid green arrow) and a permissive one (a green ball or more commonly today a flashing yellow arrow) where the motorist must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. They are also known as “pro-per” lights. The city began installing the flashing yellow arrows as an alternative to the green ball lights in 2010. The Federal Highway Administration completed a comprehensive study in 2006 which found that flashing yellows were the best alternative to the green ball lights. “[Flashing yellow arrows were] found to have a high level of understanding and correct response by left-turn drivers, and a lower fail-critical rate than the circular green,” the report’s summary states. The ratio of pro-per lights to collisions decreased sharply once the lights began to be installed in 2010, and the ratio has fluctuated since after an initial rise. The year with the highest ratio in the last 10 years was 2005, when the 137 permittedlefts in Bellevue saw 87 collisions. The lowest two ratios (and lowest number of left-turning collisions overall) were actually the first two years the flashing yellow arrows were installed — 2010 and 2011. The ratio has risen slightly since. Despite the Federal Highway Administration’s findings and the fact that these lights have existed in Bellevue since 2010, at many of the newly installed lights in the city, special signage marked with orange flags reminds motorists how to use the lights. Critics claim that the lights allow drivers to be more reckless. “I don’t buy the City’s explanation at all,”

completely.” Two locations Poch used as examples were the intersections of Eastgate Way and Richards Road, and Eastgate Way and 150th Avenue Southeast. Both intersections had protected-permissive lights until the number of collisions necessitated a change. Poch said each flashing yellow light cost the city between $2,500 and $5,000 to install per intersection. With nearly 100 flashing yellow arrows, he estimated the total rolling cost to install them has been around $250,000 total. The data is sourced from Bellevue Police collision reports, so left-turn accidents all fall under one category. “Most, maybe 90 percent of the collisions happen at traffic signals,” Poch said. “But not all of them.” It’s hard to tell what the major cause of collisions at the pro-per lights is, Poch said. “Close calls,” speeding, inebriation and human error are not accounted for. While more study goes into the lights and the city adjusts for traffic volume, the lights continue to be installed and some drivers in Bellevue continue to be wary.
This graph showing data on protected-permissive left turn collisions since 2004 shows that the flashing yellow arrows actually decreased collisions before a subsequent rise and dip. Bellevue resident Douglas Rosenberg said. “We try to identify locations where “I was also almost run over twice by these the lights aren’t working,” Poch said. “In “flashing yellow” lights (because of a differ- some cases we have taken remedial action, ent reason) because cars making left hand restricting the times of day the arrows will Ryan Murray: 425-453-4602; rmurray@bellevuereporter. turns are trying to avoid cross traffic cars flash or in some case shutting them down com and not focusing on pedestrians crossing who have a cross walk.” Transportation department assistant diBellevue’s rector Mark Poch said the city goes through Newest Upscale an extensive checklist before installing a Massage Therapy flashing yellow arrow. (Formerly Beijing Herbal Spa) “The criteria to put in a permissive left turn includes speed and traffic volumes Our Massages include: Swedish • Deep Tissue • Foot Reflexology • Sports • Pregnancy • Auto Injury at different times of day,” he said. “And then we have a performance monitoring breezespabellevue.com $ program.

B.C. opens professional grade health sci. facility BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
Camille Decuir and her lab partner were practicing giving one another ultrasounds during a unit on the thyroid when they both saw something abnormal on the screen. There, in black and white, was a large nodule on Decuir’s thyroid. Thyroid nodules are not uncommon for women, Decuir said, and she assumed the post-operation lab results would show that it was benign. But, that was not that case. The mass of cells was cancerous. “We all expected ourselves to be normal, so it’s good to find, but scary at the same time,” she said, noting that another student found a benign tumor on their liver. “I did think, ‘What if I had never been in this program?’ because I might not have known for many years.” Now, Decuir is cancer-free and continuing her studies to become a vascular ultrasound technician, with the knowledge of what it’s like to be the patient and with help from the new machines at Bellevue College’s new diagnostic ultrasound educational facility.

the many new facilities that recently opened to prepare Bellevue College health sciences students for the next phase in their careers with as close to real-life experience as they can get in a classroom. Bellevue College opened the doors on Oct. 22 to the new Health Sciences, Education and Wellness T-Building, a 70,000-square-foot facility featuring laboratories and learning spaces integrated into one area. Prior to the new building, students from the different disciplines were separated, as were different types of facilities. Now, nursing students can practice the full-range of patient care, including transporting their dummy “patients” on a gurney to X-ray machines and other technology for diagnosis. In one location, students can study alcohol and drug counseling, radiation technology, diagnostic ultrasound, nuclear medicine technology, early learning and teacher education, nursing and more. There are two dedicated skills labs with 20 hospital beds, a five-room medical simulation lab, two radiology labs with X-ray machines and separate labs for radiation therapy, nuclear medicine technology and phlebotomy.

Many of the facilities mirror a professional hospital setting. “This kind of sets in that professional feeling. That’s the big thing for me,” said student Kayla Henderson. Bellevue College broke ground on the building in the summer of 2013 and completed it near the end of this summer. It was also constructed with sustainability in mind, meeting LEED Gold standards and incorporating environmentally sustainable features, such as a vegetation-covered living roof, the use of recycled building materials and geothermal heating. The building is now open to health sciences students.

Saints ‘ signal caller is poised under center on gridiron BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
What a difference a year has made for Interlake Saints junior quarterback Duncan Varela. Varela, who has passed for 15 touchdowns in six games this season, has emerged as the Saints team leader on and off the field. Varela split time at the quarterback position as a sophomore in 2014, but is running the show as a junior. Varela said he’s thrown for more than 1,200 yards and rushed for 700 yards thus far this season. Interlake’s third-year head coach David Myers is impressed with Varela’s transformation. “Duncan has made that transformation and jump from his sophomore to junior year. It has been a huge boost to us. He is taking a lot on his shoulders and has done really well with it,” Myers said. Varela said he’s benefitted from the addition of quarterbacks coach Ry Akana to the Interlake coaching staff this season. “Coach Akana is our new quarterback coach and he has helped me out a lot. He has helped me improve with my footwork, which is something I didn’t do well with last season,” Varela said. Myers agreed with Varela’s assessment. “He has done wonderful work with him. He has been great,” Myers said of Akana. “This is the first year where we have been able to have a quarterback coach. He has just done a tremendous
job with Duncan and the other quarterbacks.” Varela missed Interlake’s loss against Bellevue with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, but expects to return to the starting lineup for his team’s matchup against Juanita on Oct. 30. Varela said he suffered the injury on the final play of Interlake’s 48-41 win against Mercer Island on Oct. 9. Varela said the triumph against Mercer Island was a landmark win for his squad. The Saints avenged a lopsided 46-13 loss during the 2014 season to the Islanders. “Last year (2014) we got killed by them. This year we went into that game wanting revenge for what happened the year before. The Mercer Island game is where we finally put it all together,” he said. The junior signal caller enjoys being a team leader on and off the field for his squad. “I’m not the most vocal person in the world, but I try to lead by example on the field and in the weight room. If someone ever needs help studying, I will be there to help them out. One of the things I focus on is the weight room. We are not the biggest team and we are definitely not the fastest, so we constantly have to keep working hard and have a great work ethic,” Myers said. Shaun Scott, Bellevue Reporter

contractors to do information technology work for them in homes and small businesses in the area. “We’re like an Uber for tech support,” Reed said. “We provide that on-demand consumer and small business tech support and we are able to provide that same-day service right now.” The two Seattle natives are actually surprised the on-call tech support market hasn’t been mined more. “We impress customers a lot just by showing up on time and being responsive,” Alumbaugh said. “We want our customers to like you and trust you so it’s not awkward for you to be in their home.”
Tech’s number and they will be contacted within half an hour by Alumbaugh or Reed to set up arrangements to resolve any tech issues. While the company doesn’t have a brick and mortar location, that could be a possibility in the future. Alumbaugh hopes to someday have a “lab” where contractors and technicians can familiarize themselves with new (and old) pieces of technology to become experts. “One of the biggest things on our plate us how we source people,” Reed said. “How we train people and how we hire people are incredibly important to the customer experience. It’s an ongoing process to manage new technologies and information. We want to be ahead of that curve.” The two did research on other, similar companies and found the hiring process for contractors appalling, which they speculate is where the stereotypes of IT workers

Reed agreed. “The bar has been set pretty low,” he said. Peel Tech is taking a simple approach. Make sure social skills and hygiene of their contractors is up to par, and then avoid any sort of condescension which can turn off potential customers. “We’re not going to make customers feel stupid because they don’t understand their technology,” Alumbaugh said. “That doesn’t help anyone. We work with a lot of senior citizens who maybe have never sent an email before. We want people to learn.” Alumbaugh is a 15-year IT veteran working in public and private sectors before going independent several years ago. Reed is an entrepreneur and the de facto IT guy for his family. The two liked the idea of providing on-demand, same-day service. A customer calls, emails or texts Peel

14 to 17 players,” said district spokesperson Christina Madden. “This small team size impacts the team’s ability to compete when injuries are incurred, leading to the team being unable to field an appropriate number of athletes for safe competition.” She added that she could not go into specifics on what types of injuries students had received due to student privacy. “That is actually a crazy number of injuries,” said Don Bartel, head coach for Eastlake High School football in Sammamish. Out of the more than 70 JV and varsity football players on his team, four are currently out for the year. Two of them started the season with injuries from other sports or seasons, he said. “Of those four guys, three are sophomores and we are chalking that up to physical development/maturity issues,” Bartell said. “Other than that, our guys are just dealing with the everyday bumps, bruises, and soreness of a KingCo football season.” On the other hand, Redmond High School Athletics Director John Applegate said that the number appears larger due to the small starting size of the team. “To say that at any one time that we haven’t had 20 kids out with injuries isn’t implausible, but we also have 90-some kids out for football,” he said.
Mercer Island coach Brett Ogata said his team was also experiencing more injuries this year. “We had 30 kids play against Bothell. Of our 22 seniors, only six have not missed any time. Usually, that number is only one or two seniors by this time [of the season]. This year, it’s 16,” he said. Earlier this month Sammamish cancelled the Oct. 9 game against Liberty, the Oct. 16 game against Interlake and the Oct. 23 game against Lake Washington. Administrators told the Reporter on Oct. 28 that the Oct. 30 game were cancelled, but that the Nov. 6 game — the last of the season — will still be played. Their opponent will be determined by the outcome of the Seattle Prep and Chief Sealth game on Oct. 30, and team not advancing to the post-season will play Sammamish on Nov. 6. Although the district previously cited both injuries
October 30, 2015 [15]
and illness as the cause of the cancellations, Madden said the health issues are injury related. Nationally, injuries, mainly to the head, have been linked to the deaths of seven high school football players this year, including Kenney Bui of Evergreen High School near Seattle. “To an extent, I think everybody’s dealing with more injuries because we’re cautious than we used to be with head injuries,” said Applegate. When asked what types of preventative measures the district is taking regarding football injuries, Madden said the district has policies and procedures like annual reevaluation of the system for evaluating concussions and training to recognize the signs and symptoms. The school is researching scheduling options for next year, administrators said in a letter to the Sammamish High School community.
