ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
To address continued enrollment growth, the Lake Washington School District board of directors is
considering a $398 million bond. “Basically, we’ve done everything we can with the facilities we have,” district spokeswoman Kathryn Reith said. “Really, to do the kind of expansion we need, it takes a bond
measure.” The bond, which might be sent to voters on the April ballot, will fund three new schools and repair some of the oldest facilities in operation. The school board is expected to vote on the measure at the Jan. 25 meeting. In the meantime, the public can comment on the draft funding model through a district survey, available online through

Residents to have more recycling options, embedded compost service in 2017 BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Next year, Sammamish residents can expect a more comprehensive solid waste service, one that accepts more recyclables and includes composting for all. Plus, it’s one that will save most residents money. The Sammamish City Council unani-
mously approved the 2017-2025 contract with Republic Services at the Jan. 5 meeting, as it was the “lone responsive” bid, according to city staff. Waste Management had also submitted its bid for the services, but staff ruled that “nonresponsive.” In a split vote, 4-3, the council adopted
So far, it appears to be a solid return year for the rare, freshwater salmon swimming back to their spawning grounds in Sammamish and Bellevue. Likely 4,000 kokanee — a species closely related to the sockeye salmon but that only live in Lake Sammamish — will have returned to familiar breeding streams by spring, estimated David St. John, coordinator and chair of the Lake Sammamish Kokanee Work Group. These numbers would make this year’s return the third highest in the last two decades, he said. “It’s a good sign that we’re making progress,” St. John said. Since 2009, per the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery program, crews have been collecting and raising kokanee offspring before releasing them back into native creeks. This strengthens the species’ numbers and increases their chance of survival. This year, hatchery crews collected about 145,000 eggs, the second most ever gathered, St. John said. And since 2010, the hatchery program has brought more than 300,000 kokanee fry back to native waters. The 2015 Kokanee Release saw 46,000 baby fish returned to local streams. This year’s return, the 2015-2016 run, are the offspring of a large spawning group in 2012-2013 when an estimated 15,000 fish swam back to native streams. “When we talk about having a ‘good year’ it’s relative. Historically speaking, these are all bad years,” St. John said. “We need to do better.” Once, the kokanee thrived in the tens of thousands, St.

John said. In recent decades, the species saw a dramatic decline in population, on the “brink of extinction” King County Executive Dow Constantine said in 2011. Even with the relatively strong return in 2012-2013, officials are still not seeing the full production of those fish. That run should have produced more like 20,000 fish, but instead, the county is seeing onethird of that, St. John said. There are two possible theories to explain this: either there’s not enough food in the lake to support the offspring, or there’s not enough habitat in the creeks
for them to spawn in. The latter would result in kokanee returning later in the year potentially clearing away laid eggs to make room for their own. “That would mean we would need to restore access to Zaccuse Creek, restore access to George Davis Creek,” St. John said. Though kokanee once inhabited many streams feeding into the lake, they now only return to three: Ebright Creek and Laughing Jacobs Creek on the Plateau, as well as Lewis Creek in Bellevue. The 2015-2016 return numbers won't be official until the spring, St. John said. Megan Campbell: 425-654-0386; mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com
Democrat Essie Hicks announced on Jan. 5 that she will be running for Position 1 state representative in Washington’s 5th Legislative District, which covers Black Diamond, Carnation, Issaquah, Maple Valley, North Bend and Snoqualmie. Hicks, currently a development commissioner in Issaquah and treasurer of the Northwest Progressive Institute, will run against Republican Jay Rodne, who has held the seat since 2004. “I want to be a voice of transparency, change and stability,” Hicks said. “I’m someone who would represent (the district) a lot better than what they’ve had for the last decade.” Hicks said she decided to run again after her strong showing against Rodne in 2014, in which she received 42 percent of votes. Formerly a small business owner, Hicks has been involved with local communities in Yelm, Maple Valley and Issaquah. Hicks has been on the Maple Valley Planning

The league of sex-soliciting gentlemen Inside the brothels, websites and exclusive club detectives uncovered in their sex trafficking investigation An organization of self-identified prostitution “hobbyists” who called themselves “the League,” the sex trafficking site they frequented and a half dozen brothels in Bellevue were raided and shut down last week in the culmination of a months-long investigation. “We all know about backpage.com and how bad it is. This was like backpage.com on steroids. It was much, much bigger,” King County Sheriff John Urquhart told the media during a press conference on Jan. 7. During a nine-monthslong investigation, the King County Sheriff ’s Office and the Bellevue Police Department gathered evidence about a website called The Review Board on which members could post and read reviews on the sexual services they received from different prostitutes. They
also gathered evidence on two men who used the site to advertise the services of women who worked for them. During their probe, law enforcement undercovered 13 individual apartments in seven upscale apartment complexes in Bellevue that were being operated as brothels and a private organization of men who solicited sex. The women involved — a dozen of whom have since been rescued by police — were largely brought over from South Korea through a debt-bondage system in which they were required to work off their family’s debts through sexual service, sometimes servicing up to 10 customers daily, six or seven days a week. “It is unlikely that many of these victims will say that this is what they had in mind when they came to King County, Washington,” King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said last week.
The Blotter
The blotter consists of Sammamish police officers’ accounts of crimes and other incidents in the city of Sammamish. Persons arrested are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
Sammamish Dec. 27 ELECTRIC SCOOTER: The manager of the McDonald's located in the 600 block of 228th Avenue Northeast noticed a bright blue motorized scooter left behind the restaurant around 10:45 p.m. At closing, the manager put the scooter inside.
Dec. 28 HE TRIED: A caller told Sammamish police he found two $50 bills on the ground at the Southeast 34th Street and 213th Avenue Southeast intersection. The called tried to locate the owner but didn’t have any luck. He told police he would likely claim the money if the owner isn’t found.
Dec. 29 LIQUOR: The Safeway located in the 600 block of
228th Avenue Northeast reported someone had shoplifted eight bottles of high-priced liquor. The suspects came in the store, loaded the cart and left without paying. A Sammamish detective is investigating the theft.
Dec. 30 FAKE CHECK: A victim in the 900 block of 221st Avenue Northeast reported someone used a fake cashier’s check to solicit the victim to cash it and send that person the money via Western Union.

A map showing the 15 states investigators linked to the trafficking of South Korean women, who would travel from state to state on four to six month stints, depending on how popular they were with clients. Unknown numbers of women were brought to the United States from South Korea. Once in the U.S., they were forced to travel from city to city on four-tosix week stints, according to law enforcement. The more popular they were in a city, the longer they stayed and the more frequently they would visit in the future. Both brothel owners and clients used sites such as The Review Board to allegedly promote and facilitate the trafficking of these women, according to Satterberg. In some cases, that
meant posting reviews and encouraging men to solicit certain women in order to have them stay in the area longer. Other times, men such as the League leader Charles Peters would allegedly use their extensive contacts with agencies and pimps to vouch for other members and help arrange services. The Review Board had 14,000 members across the country, and police were able to make links between their case in King and Pierce counties to 15 states. A separate website the
League created — Kgirlsdelight.com — had millions of hits per month, police reported. Prostitution in Bellevue is not a new issue and has been evolving over the years, a vice detective told the Reporter in August 2014. Court documents reveal that the King County Sheriff ’s Office first began investigating the Review Board and suspected human sex traffickers in 2007. Since the Bellevue Police Department’s vice unit was created in 2011, they have raided numerous massage parlors in the city. But, law enforcement has long known that prostitution has been growing online and moving behind closed doors. “(The apartment brothels) provided cover and concealment for their activities. Infiltrating that is difficult,” Chief Steve Mylett said. The public perception that prostitution is something relegated to large cities like Seattle is probably why the brothel operators chose Bellevue, he added. Over the last year, the Bellevue Police Department began receiving complaints from residents of highend downtown Bellevue condominiums reporting suspicious activity — different men frequently visiting
certain apartments at all hours of the night, and staying for approximately 30-60 minutes each. “It’s not as if I go out of my way to notice this pattern of activity. It’s right under my nose, and other residents have noticed it, too,” an Avalon Meydenbauer resident told the Reporter in August. It was complaints such as this, as well as the murder of Kittaporn Saosawatsri in March 2015 in the Avalon Meydenbauer, that prompted the Bellevue police to begin probing small brothels such as the ones allegedly operated by Donald Mueller and Michael Durnal. A former illegal marijuana grower, Mueller told police he decided to change his “business plan” in 2014 and begin a brothel in a Northgate apartment after reportedly being approached by an unknown prostitute provider to provide a place for her to see clients in exchange for a cut of the profits and sexual services. Soon, he was raking in $1,500 per day and moved his operation to Bellevue, where Durnal joined him in his self-proclaimed human trafficking scheme, according to police. The pair allegedly acted as bookers, SEE SEX, 8

Opening day 2016: Clean air, minimum wage hike
S
tate lawmakers began the The Petri Dish 2016 legislative session on Monday with a bit of ceremony featuring comments by Republican and Democratic leaders. Then members of the House and Senate dove into some controversial subjects. The Senate Law and Justice Jerry Cornfield Committee heard from the leader of the Department of Corrections on errors that allowed 3,200 inmates to be released from prison early since 2002. Corrections Secretary Dan Pacholke was scheduled to appear at the hearing that was webcast live by TVW. The House Environment Committee later conducted a work session on the clean air rules proposed last week by the Department of Ecology. Gov. Jay Inslee ordered the rules be drawn up to affect a slow reduction in the amount of pollution-causing carbon emissions. As drafted, starting in 2017, the rules require the state’s largest emitters to reduce their emissions by 5 percent every three years. Meanwhile, the other issue on Monday did not involve lawmakers directly. It was the filing of an initiative to raise the state minimum wage to as much as $13 an hour and mandate businesses provide workers with paid sick leave. Supporters submitted their paperwork along with a $5 filing fee at the Secretary of State’s Office. They will eventually need to collect and turn in 246,372 valid signatures of registered Washington voters to make the November ballot. The deadline to turn them in is July 8.
State lawmakers will tackle controversial topics this session

To the editor Hicks will bring attention to transportation, schools, other issues I had the pleasure recently of standing with Essie Hicks and other supporters as she announced her candidacy for Washington state representative 5th Legislative District, a position currently held by Rep. Jay Rodne. I became acquainted with Ms. Hicks a year ago when she met with myself and some other community members, and I was impressed with what I saw: She listened and she was approachable and responsive. At the announcement of her candidacy, Essie Hicks talked about some of the issues she’ll fight for and that prompted her to run: the need to fully fund our public schools so our kids get the education they deserve, improving local transportation and addressing climate change within our community. These issues are important to me and my family, and I believe we need a strong leader like Essie to bring them the attention they need. Essie Hicks chose to hold her announcement at the entrance to Issaquah’s City Hall, between the blue door that was given to Issaquah by its sister city in Morocco as a symbol of friendship between the cities and the eagle statue, the symbol of freedom. What a wonderful message to send to the community — not of ignorance, fear and hate but instead of inclusion, tolerance and respect. I’ve discovered for myself that
Essie Hicks is a great listener who truly wants to speak with as many people as she can in the district so she can know what concerns them the most. I’d like to encourage all of my neighbors in the 5th Legislative District to get to know Essie as I have and to visit her website at www.essiehicks.com. I hope you will join me in helping to elect this compassionate and highly qualified woman. Kelly Bernado Issaquah
Hicks’s practical experience needed in Issaquah As a former mayor of Issaquah, I’ve had the pleasure on occasion to cross paths with individuals whose ability to lead and whose passion for working for our communities was obvious. One of those people is Essie Hicks. I’m glad that Essie Hicks is running for Washington state’s 5th Legislative District, seat one. Essie’s practical experience, working on such issues as local bond and levy campaigns for our schools, and her formal education, with a Master’s degree in public administration, are an ideal combination for public service and for the Legislature. Over the years I have known Essie, I’ve seen that she is committed to high-quality, fully-funded public education. She is committed to representing small business owners and understands the challenges facing them, having been a small business owner herself. She is committed to solving the daily transportation chal-
lenges that people all over the district face through maintaining rural and urban roads and increasing transit. Essie’s greatest commitments is to listen to all of us in the district and turn what she has heard into action on our behalf and on behalf of people throughout Washington. We need Essie’s practical experience in Olympia. When Essie recently announced her candidacy, I stood with her and other supporters in the historic heart of Issaquah. I encourage everyone to join me in support of Essie Hicks for state representative. Ava Frisinger Issaquah

In Kirkland, the bond would fund remodeling or enlarging Juanita High School and Peter Kirk Elementary School. After 10 years of flat or decreased enrollment, in 2009 the district’s enrollment spiked, averaging 625 students each year. “That’s the size of a large elementary school,� Reith said.
In fall 2015, the district moved up in the rankings, named fourth largest in the state, trailing only Tacoma, Spokane and Seattle school districts in size. The Lake Washington School District is expected to continue to grow to more than 30,000 students by 2020-2021.

Shrewd Bellevue businessman keeps busy despite health issues Sammamish resident doesn’t let kidney disease keep him down BY RYAN MURRAY REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
Benny Cukier is always on the move. When not running his businesses, he is finding other things to spend his seemingly endless amount of energy on. So when he spends three-and-a-half hours five times a week in a stationary spot receiving dialysis for kidney disease, he gets antsy. “I use it as a time to strategize,� he said. “I have a computer in there and a big TV and it overlooks my backyard. I’ve never really had three-and-a-half hours of time just to contemplate.� And strategizing is a must, as Cukier runs several businesses that require a significant amount of attention. Most well-known of these to Bellevue residents is Goldberg’s Deli in Factoria (with a downtown location as well), which Cukier says he raised up from a marginal spot to the thriving restaurant it is now. He is majority owner of the restaurant, splitting shares with other Jewish businessmen who invested in the delicatessen to keep in touch with their roots. “They have interest, love deli and are Jewish,� Cukier said. “When I took this

over, it was almost belly-up. I let go 60 or 70 percent of the employees and have built a new, strong business.� He freely admits he is a ruthless businessman, and if you don’t fit into his vision, you are out the door. His son, Jason, joined him at the deli and is poised to take over once Cukier decides to take it easy — which could be in the next several months or years from now. He also runs Group Travel Associates, Inc., a U.S./Canadian business that plans accommodations for large events such as the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle in mid-February. “I’ve been doing it for 42 years and I’m damn good at it now,� he said. “My dad used to work with trade shows, working with hotel rooms and the trade people.� To rent a convention center, there is usually a requirement that event-goers will rent a certain amount of hotel rooms. Cukier works with groups (such as Portland’s ComicCon, the Pacific Northwest Sportsman Show and the Green Technologies Suppliers Meetings) and hotels to ensure everyone has a place to sleep and they aren’t getting gouged for it. He’s a talented, stubborn negotiator and a professional middleman. “You have the responsibility of 20-30,000 people on you,� Cukier said. “It’s stressful when people first arrive but you can relax after they check in.� SEE SHREWD, 8

Eagles earn bragging rights earned on hardwood BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In January of 2015 the Issaquah Eagles boys basketball team suffered an unforgettable 66-63 loss to the Skyline Spartans on their home court in Issaquah. Almost exactly a year later, the Eagles returned the favor on the hardwood. Issaquah utilized a strong second half, earning a 64-45 win against the Skyline Spartans on Jan. 8 at Skyline High School in Sammamish. The Eagles went on a 13-0 run to start off the fourth quarter, extending their lead to an insurmountable 62-39 advantage to put the game away. The Eagles improved to 10-2 with the win while Skyline dropped to 4-6. Issaquah junior forward Tanner Davis, who scored 11 points in the contest, said his team’s full-court press in the second half paved the way for a win. “We had a lot of energy coming out in the second half. We created more turnovers in our press, which was good and we were playing more under control. I think that played a big factor,” Davis said. Skyline appeared to have the momentum despite trailing 15-14 after the first eight minutes of play. Skyline center Braden Ahlemeyer, who registered three of his game-high five blocks in the opening quarter, had the Skyline student section in a raucous frenzy
much to the chagrin of the Eagles. “Those blocks really got the crowd into it, which is what we talked about not letting happen before the game. To overcome that we just started playing more as a team, starting moving the ball and knocking down shots,” Davis said. Issaquah left-handed sharpshooter Trevon Ary-Turner scored a team-high 16 points in the win. Eagles’ guard Jason Crandall also added 13 points in the victory. Crandall said last year’s loss loomed in the psyche of his team before tip-off. “We knew that last year we lost to them. They came into our house and beat us. We knew we weren’t going to let them do that again this year,” Crandall said. “Our coaches talked a lot about having good energy. We knew there was going to be a big crowd. Everyone can have energy but the key is using it the right way by getting in the passing lanes for steals and not getting fouls.” Davis said his team knew they would have to play with the utmost emotion in order to defeat the Spartans. “It is always motivation when you step on the floor to play Skyline. They are our rivals and you got to bring the extra fight every single play because you know they are coming at you hard every single play,” he said. “We’re just out here playing for each other and we got the ‘W’.”

Eagles grapplers roll over Vikings in KingCo match BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Pins were prevalent in the Issaquah Eagles wrestling team’s Class 4A KingCo matchup against the Inglemoor Vikings. Issaquah tallied six pins en route to a convincing 69-12 victory against Inglemoor on Jan. 7 at Issaquah High School. The Eagles improved their overall record in dual matches to 3-0 with the win. Eagles’ longtime head coach Kirk Hyatt said his squad has their sights set on winning the Class 4A KingCo regular season championship later this month. “We’re going for KingCo (championship) this year. We missed it by one match last year and we’re going for it this year. It is

Issaquah’s Stevie Solusod lifts Inglemoor’s Bailey Claudon into the air before taking him down on Jan. 7. really important to us,” Hyatt said. Hyatt was pleased to see Eagles grapplers pick up victories via pin in six of their 12 matches. “In baseball you hit home runs and in wrestling you get pins. We’re not messing around out there. We want to pin, pin
and pin. That is what we do,” he said. Eagles’ 195-pounder Chance Gunter pinned
his opponent in just 34 seconds in the final match of the night. Gunter, who was an alternate to the Class 4A Mat Classic at the Tacoma Dome last season, said he is a completely different wrestler than he was 12 months ago. “My previous two years on varsity it was always more of a physical game for me but this year it is more about technique. I’m a senior and I’m more experienced. Now when it comes to tournament time I can be more successful as a wrestler as a whole,” Gunter said.
Gunter’s focus on perfecting his moves on the mat is paying off. Thus far, he has compiled an overall record of 13-6. Hyatt said he’s satisfied with where his team is at this juncture of the season. The Eagles are undefeated in dual matches and also captured fourth place out of 25 teams at the formidable Battle of the Border Invitational in

Blaine on Dec. 11. “We’re progressing really good. We want to peak at the KingCo (tournament) obviously,” Hyatt said. Issaquah wrestlers nabbing victories via pins consisted of William Tickman (113), Dakota Kutz (132), Kaleb Solusod (145), Chase Helgeson (170), Dean Pearson (182) and Gunter (195). Eagles’ grapplers capturing wins by decision were Stevie Solusod (126) and Kai Hapke (160).

three alternatives to Republic's contract, which brings the total value of the nine-year service agreement to $63 million, according to the city. This contract will unify the city with one solid waste service provider. (Currently, Republic caters to the southern portion of the Plateau and Waste Management serves the northern areas.) Along with the base level of services, the council voted Jan. 5 to embed compostables and allow for weekly, yearround pickups. Under the current contracts, compostables are offered on a subscription basis with weekly pickups only from March to November; the rest of the year, compostables are picked up every other week. “All of our neighboring cities — Redmond, Bellevue, Issaquah — all have embedded compostables now. Sammamish does not,” Director of Administrative Services Beth Goldberg said Jan. 5. “So, Sammamish is a rarity in that sense.” The council also voted to widen the list of recyclables that Republic will pick up, which includes cooking oil, batteries, plastics, light bulbs, wood scraps and certain household appliances. These two options will help prolong the life of the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill, which Sammamish and many King County cities use to dispose garbage. The landfill is forecasted to its limit in

15 years. “When that landfill reaches capacity, the region is going to have to find another means of disposing our trash … likely at a higher cost than what we are currently enjoying today,” Goldberg said. “All cities throughout King County have an interest in ensuring that Cedar Hills Landfill remains at our — I’m going to make a really bad pun — disposal.” The county estimates that about 78 percent of the trash that ends up in the landfill could be recycled or composted, Goldberg said. “To the extent that we could encourage our residents to dispose of their food waste in their compostable trash, dispose of yard waste in compostable trash, that diverts that out of the landfill … for soil that people can use,” she said. The council also allowed Republic Services to use vehicles no older than 2012, compared to using vehicles no older than 2016. This will save residents between $0.07-$0.12 each month, according to Goldberg. Jeff Borgida, general manager at Republic Services, estimates it will take about 10 trucks to service the city’s some 14,400 customers. It will take about a year for Republic to prepare to serve the entire city, according to Sammamish staff. The company will need to establish the necessary infrastructure; develop schedules and routes; purchase trucks and equipment; and conduct community outreach and education.
PUBLIC NOTICES Issaquah Gateway, LLC, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit.

advertising the services of different women on The Review Board. The popular sex advertising and review website was reportedly started by Sigurds Zitars and eight other men sometime between 2001 and 2003. Before it was shut down, more than 23,000 members across the United States were using the free website, according to police. Reviews of sex workers posted on the website described encounters with them — including many of the women working in Mueller and Durnal’s brothels — in graphic detail. In one review on Nov. 3, a client recounted his initial attempts to communicate with a woman on her first day as a sex worker. “Since it was her first day, I asked her if she was nervous. She didn’t understand. I tried, ‘scared?’ Out came the phone as I spelled it, s...c...a...r...e...d. Suddenly, a very pained look took over her face. I actually thought she was going to cry. ‘Yes! I scared!’” Seemingly stifled by Zitars’s aversion to advertising Asian sex workers — whom he reportedly thought would draw more law enforcement attention — a group of so-called Korean sex worker “hobbyists” formed an exclusive club called the League. It is unknown when exactly the League was first formed, but the organization grew quickly. By last summer, they had 50 screened members and promoted more than 300 Asian sex workers on their public website. Select users on The Review Board were invited to meet-and-greets with League members. An undercover King County Sheriff’s Office detective who infiltrated the League reported that

The business depends on his negotiation skills, so once he retires, Group Travel Associates is kaput, he said. Cukier, 59, admits that living large has taken its toll on his health. His wife Peggy administers the dialysis most of the time. Northwest Kidney Centers provides assistance. It can be taxing on both of them. “In reality I knew I earned it,” he said of his disease. “I abused my health, and overate for years.

he attended meet-and-greets, posted reviews and showed his involvement in the “hobby” by asking the leader, Peters, to help him solicit sex workers over five months before being taken off of “probation.” In their discussions with one another, the members were cavalier about their so-called “hobby.” During regular meetings held in and around Bellevue, the dozen or so attendees would discuss at length various issues, including what methods/excuses they used to hide their activities from their wives and girlfriends, whether or not they were comfortable knowing a prostitute was having “bareback” (unprotected) sex with other clients and the details of their experiences with different women. Many times the discussions were so graphic that patrons sitting at nearby tables would get up and leave or move to another table, according to an undercover King County Sheriff’s Office detective who infiltrated the League. Many of the members reportedly made comments that indicated they were aware that the women they visited were more than likely trafficked and had no choice in working as a prostitute. When one member said “it’s not like these girls choose to do this,” the League’s leader Peters reportedly responded that the girls were not the smartest people since they had made bad lifestyle decisions that led them into sex work, according to court documents. Despite this, members of the League appear to have viewed themselves as gentlemen. New members received a three-page-long Code of Conduct in an introductory email, listing agreedto behaviors and rules. Members were told that “‘no’ means ‘no,’” reminded to be punctual and that condoms and
[Peggy] has taken on the challenge admirably.” Still a large man, Cukier said he has lost 250 pounds from his heaviest and is doing better in terms of his diet. Not an easy task when his deli makes “the best Reuben sandwich in the Pacific Northwest.” Still, the Sammamish resident balances his hectic life with his healthcare needs. While in Minnesota for the last week’s NFL Wildcard Playoff game, he planned ahead for dialysis treatment while he was there, and has done the same for Charlotte, North Carolina.

good hygiene were required. The Code of Conduct also referred to the price of sexual services as a “donation.” “What is the benefit to following these guidelines?” the document concluded. “Continued access to the hobby you love … It’s pretty simple: kindness and consideration will benefit everyone.” Police shut down The Review Board on Jan. 5 and served 126 search warrants and court orders related to the case last week. The League’s members-only website www.theloeg.net and public website www.kgirlsdelight.com are also no longer operational, but were not shut down by law enforcement. Zitar, Peters and the 10 other League members were charged with felony promoting prostitution. Mueller and Durnal were both charged with felony promoting prostitution, and police found probable cause for trafficking in the first degree and money laundering charges, although they have been charged with neither at press time. The investigation into The Review Board’s clients and the trafficking of South Korean women is ongoing. The FBI and local law enforcement will be reaching out to the South Korean consulate to aid in the case, Urquhart said. While charges are not currently being filed against the scores of other sex buyers whose information was obtained during the probe on The Review Board and Kgirlsdelight.com, they have not ruled out further action. “We want to send a message to the men in the Seattle area who want to think about starting a website like this. If you are committing a crime of promoting prostitution by setting up these websites ... we don’t want that to occur anymore and if you do, we will come after you,” Urquhart said.
To whom does he ascribe all this energy and drive? His parents are the most likely candidates. “For who I am, I give my father 99 percent of the credit, my mother too,” Cukier said. “I had great parents. My father built himself up from the ground up.” Max Cukier, who died in 2011, was born in Ryki, Poland in 1918 and took up arms against the Third Reich in 1942, joining the famous Bielski Brigade of partisan fighters, meeting his wife during this period. They survived the war, emigrated to the United States and started a wildly successful importing business in Los Angeles. Cukier said his father’s

generosity, strict countenance and business acumen were instrumental in shaping him. As such, his businesses have taken on his big and bold personality. Goldberg’s has become a Bellevue institution in its own right, attracting celebrities, business leaders and players for Cukier’s beloved Seahawks. But a heart attack seven weeks ago and other health issues might finally have slowed his pace. However, you wouldn’t know it by talking to him. “My whole thing is that dialysis shouldn’t interrupt what you do and how you do it,” Cukier said. “I think my life is pretty fulfilled. If I didn’t keep the adrenaline going, I’m not sure what I would do.”
