SUV used in park hit-and-run death found The Seattle Times and Issaquah Press

The King County Sheriff’s Office recovered a gold Infiniti SUV in Renton on the evening of Feb. 2 that was allegedly used to run down a 22-year-old Klahanie man at Beaver Lake Park in Sammamish. Detectives had been looking for the vehicle since Jan. 25, when Moises Radcliffe was struck after firing shots at the SUV carrying a group of sus-

pected car prowlers who had allegedly broken into his car and stolen his girlfriend’s purse. Charges filed Feb. 1 against the woman arrested in connection with his death provide new details of the chaotic incident. Ka’Deidre Rials, 23, of Kent, was charged with felony hit-andrun for failing to stop and provide aid to Radcliffe, who fired multiple shots at Rials’ vehicle as he apparently tried to stop the SUV from leaving Beaver Lake

Park, charging papers say. Arrested Jan. 28 in Skyway, Rials was also charged with second-degree identity theft and two counts of second-degree vehicle prowl. She was initially ordered held on $1 million bail, but a judge Feb. 1 lowered Rials’ bail to $300,000, said Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for Prosecutor Dan Satterberg.

County, pursuing trail permits, dealt a setback in court BY LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com

A Superior Court judge dismissed three claims filed by King County against the City of Sammamish regarding permits for the final segment of the East Lake Sammamish Trail and an associated parking lot. Three other claims are pending and awaiting a court date, according to the court’s Jan. 23 decision. King County filed suit Jan. 3 against the City of Sammamish, calling the city’s refusal to process clearing and grading permit applications “illegal, arbitrary and capricious.” The county filed four permit applications in October with the city related to the multi-use regional trail and parking lot near Northeast Inglewood Hill Road. Each project requires the county to obtain a clearing and grading permit and a shoreline substantial development permit. The city deemed the shoreline substantial development permits complete, but not the clearing and grading permits. The county was asking the

court to deem the clearing and grading permit applications complete as of Nov. 30 so a redesign of the trail to comply with new regulations adopted by Sammamish was not necessary, according to court documents. New city surface water design standards went into effect Jan. 1. The county argued that all application requirements have been satisfied and “the city’s refusal to vest King County’s clearing and grading permit applications has enabled the City to amend regulations that will apply to permit review,” according to court documents. The city contended “it cannot review the cleaning and grading permit applications until it knows what the final trail design will be and thus cannot consider the applications simultaneously,” according to court documents. The court dismissed several claims by the county, concluding that the state’s Land Use Petition Act is the exclusive method of appealing the city’s completeness determinaSEE TRAIL, PAGE 3

Radcliffe’s death a homicide and determined he died from multiple blunt-force injuries from being struck, dragged and run over by the vehicle, charging papers say. Radcliffe, an Issaquah High School graduate, was the son of a Seattle police officer. “Although the charges presently filed against the defendant do not include homicide, the investigation into the death of Moises Radcliffe continues,” Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jeff Baird

wrote in charging documents. According to the charges, Rials and two teenage girls committed at least two car prowls in the park’s parking lot. Rials broke a window in Radcliffe’s Subaru Legacy and stole his girlfriend’s purse, then quickly got into her SUV as the couple returned to the lot after walking their dog, the charges say. Radcliffe grabbed a gun from SEE FOUND, PAGE 5

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Athletes celebrate culmination of recruiting process BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com

For nine Skyline student-athletes, Feb. 1 was the end of a long, arduous process to determine the next few years of their lives. High-school athletes around the country were able to sign the dotted line of their National Letter of Intent on the first day of the NCAA’s winter signing period. That included three football players, three soccer players and three fastpitch players at Skyline. Coach Mat Taylor’s football program, long renowned for producing standout athletes, is sending three more to the next level: Linebacker Alex Diegel (Central Washington), defensive back Bradley Kim (Air Force) and Henry Bainivalu, one of the nation’s top offensiveline recruits, who will stay in his back yard at Washington. “Ever since sophomore year, when the offers started coming in, this was the date where everything had to be final and this is when I had to know where I’m going to be for the next four or five years,” said Bainivalu, a 6-foot6, 302-pounder who had scholarship offers from at least a dozen high-profile programs, including Michigan, Nebraska and Southern California. “I’m super excited that it’s finally here and I’m

going to be a Dawg. It means the world to me.” Bainivalu’s family relocated from Gig Harbor to Sammamish prior to his freshman year. And Henry flourished under his coaches’ and teammates’ wings. “Before moving here, football really wasn’t that big of a thing to me,” he said. “I played it because it was fun. My friends did it and obviously it was a big part of my life, but I never really looked ahead that much. “As soon as I came here, I looked at the legacy that Skyline has had, and all of the people that came through here, and it meant so much to me to be able to contribute and give my couple of cents to the legend that Skyline has become.” Skyline’s girls soccer program has also built a dynasty under coach Don Braman, who saw three of his seniors ink Division I offers: Forward Alexa Kirton (New Mexico), goalkeeper Molly Monroe (Cal Poly) and defender Cameron Tingey (Utah). Monroe didn’t see the field at Skyline in 2016 due to an injury, but she gave what she could to a squad that placed third at the Class 4A state tournament. “It was difficult but I was focusing on getting myself strong,” Monroe said. “I wanted to support my team, but also I had to prioritize playing in college.” Most college soccer players are unearthed at the select level and

Eastlake High School had nine student-athletes sign their NCAA National Letters of Intent during a ceremony at the school on Feb. 1. From left to right are Tessa Baumann, Brooke Chandler, Maddy Hunter, Bailey Letherman, Allie Moodie, Colton Padgett, Pia Richards, Maddie Robinson and Tatum Thornton.

Monroe proved herself at Eastside FC, where she played at last summer’s U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships. “We’ve been pretty much the same group of girls since fourth grade and the coaches we’ve had – Tom Bialek and Michelle French – they’ve just developed such a great group of people,” Monroe said. “I wouldn’t have wanted to grow up playing with anyone else.” Monroe’s father played football at Cal Poly and her grandfather was a three-sport athlete there. “I’m continuing the legacy,” she said. “I’ll be a third-generation athlete there.” Last spring, Skyline’s fastpitch program reached the state tournament for the first time since 2004. And three players who signed LOIs were a big reason why. Pitcher Caroline Bowman (San Jose State), outfielder Lauren Lo (Western Washington)

and outfielder Molly Spaniac (ClaremontMudd-Scripps) led the Spartans to a conference tournament title and a 19-7 record. Lo had to recover from a serious injury that took away her entire sophomore season. The ordeal served to “put things in perspective,” she said. “I knew that if I was going to be back in the game and compete with the other recruits, that I’d have to work really hard,” she said. “I was at the batting cages almost every day.” She’s considering studying kinesiology at Western Washington and likes the program’s emphasis on academics and family life. “It’s like a home away from home because it’s not too far, not too close,” Lo said. Skyline baseball players Riley Gill and Ben Smith, who signed their LOIs in November with San Francisco and Bucknell,

He said the team at his office really enjoys serving this veteran. “People giving get just as much out of it, if not more, than the people getting,” Lo said. Lo even enlisted a supplier and laboratory his office uses to donate items and lab work needed in the comprehensive dental care for that veteran. “All it took was a 10-minute conversation,” Lo said. After seeing an outpouring of support from the dental community, Cheng, founder of Everyone For Veterans, and program coordinator Jennifer Shelton began working on broadening the services their organization offers. “If that’s how the dentists feel, what about the others in the communi-

ty?” Cheng remembered thinking. “People do want to help, but don’t have a way to connect.” If a low-income combat veteran wants anything to improve their lives, it can often be a financial stretch, said Cheng. Even little things, like a fishing rod or a gym membership, can have a big impact on a low-income combat veteran’s life. Or a low-income combat veteran might need a haircut before a job interview, which is where the community can step up, and Everyone For Veterans is there to help connect. Integration back into society for combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder can be a difficult process, and often they lose family or friends in the process, Shelton said. She said the program was about befriending veterans and “making them feel part of society again.” “The idea of supporting our veterans is not the same as donating money,” Shelton said. “We want the community to become part of their

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

On Further Review

Thank you for riding along on my journey through sports

wenty-five years ago this summer, my dad and I came to the Kingdome so I could see my first big-league baseball game — Yankees vs. Mariners — and we decided to take a tour of the stadium, too. Neil Pierson The Kingdome was never much for aesthetics, but to a 12-year-old boy who loved sports, it was heaven. When we entered the press box and gazed down upon the field, I quickly realized sports reporting would be a pretty cool profession. This month, when The Issaquah Press Group closes, it’s possible I may have written my last game story. It’s not a financially good time to be in the media, and that’s especially true of newspapers. That’s no secret. Long before our closure was announced, I’d been feeling a creeping trepidation about my career path. Journalism teachers and former bosses had warned me, “You don’t get into this business to get rich,” and they were right. I did it because I love storytelling. And much of my 14 years in newspapers were spent in the press boxes, gymnasiums and bleachers of the local high schools. There’s nothing like capturing the beauty of a sporting event — passion, courage, heartbreak, exhilaration — in the span of a few hours and a few hundred words. My job here has evolved quite a bit over the course of threeand-a-half years. We used to have a larger staff, of course, and I split my time between

sports, community features and school news. Skyline and Eastlake were the only schools I covered. Gradually, I added Eastside Catholic, Issaquah, Liberty and Mount Si to the list. We’d be here all day if I tried listing every interesting person I’ve met. I’ve been in the homes of city council members Mariah Bettise and Christie Malchow; countless authors, artists, athletes and musicians; and over the years I’ve had my fair share of celebrity encounters (Bernhard Langer, Lydia Ko, Kenny Mayne, Steve Sarkisian, Megan Rapinoe, Isaiah Thomas and Ken Carter, the man who inspired the movie, “Coach Carter.”) Journalism is often a thankless job, but we do get occasional reminders that we’re doing

something positive in our community. A handwritten thankyou note from Liberty football coach Steve Valach. A hug and a dish of homemade salsa from Eastlake parent Karey Pierzchalski. Dozens of articles lining one of Skyline’s halls. I’m most grateful, however, for the chance to meet a lot of great kids. For the vast majority of athletes I write about, their high-school years are the apex. They’ll never play competitively again. The memories they make in front of their friends, relatives and teachers can never be replicated and the only place they’re archived is in the local newspaper. And when the stories stop, the community is the true casualty. For that reason, I encourage

readers to support every media outlet they can. The remaining publications on the Eastside are no longer our competition. Please consider a paid subscription or moving your classified ads away from Craigslist. If you’re a business owner, every dollar you invest in your local paper gets reinvested — and then some — in your bottom line. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for giv-

He gave some kind of warning, then moved to the front of the SUV while pointing his gun at the occupants, charging papers say. He began shooting into the SUV’s windshield, then was struck by the vehicle and dragged “a considerable distance” before coming to rest near the parking lot exit, the charging papers say. According to the probable-cause statement outlining the police case against Rials, the SUV was captured on video-surveillance footage just as someone threw a purse out the window, the statement says. Another woman at the scene discovered her car also had been prowled and her bank card was missing from her wallet, which she had left in her car, the statement says.

If we clean up boxing out, maybe the game is not as close as it was.” The Wildcats (8-12 overall, 6-8 KingCo) needed the win to remain in control of their own destiny for a playoff spot. And they

One point was all that separated the Issaquah Eagles and Skyline Spartans during their Class 4A KingCo Conference wrestling dual meet, so it was no surprise to see the squads finish first and second, respectively, at their first postseason meet. Issaquah successfully defended its KingCo 4A tournament title Feb. 3 at Juanita High School in Kirkland. The Eagles scored 203 points and bested runner-up Skyline (169), with the

The Mount Si Wildcats haven’t had a lot of luck or success at the end of games this season, losing nine times by eight points or less. But with the stakes seemingly rising every time Mount Si steps on the court, the team is finding some good fortune and a killer instinct. The Wildcats needed both on Jan. 31 to upset first-place Skyline. Tyler Patterson’s late 3-pointer, coupled with a pair of Skyline misses at the free-throw line, were enough to push Mount Si to a 56-53 victory in Class 4A KingCo Conference boys basketball action in Snoqualmie. “We’ve had some heartbreakers this year, so maybe it’s just things

sharp in two earlier victories, needing just 38 seconds to pin Eastlake’s Matt Brookshier and Woodinville’s Vincent Grossrieder. Bertolino’s run to the KingCo title included a 48-second pin of Woodinville’s Jonathan Ruana, a 2-1 decision over Issaquah’s Carson Tanner and a 6-4 decision over Newport’s Josh Lee. Despe, who will look to become a first-time state qualifier after claiming an alternate’s spot as a freshman, pinned Issaquah’s Nathan Asistin in 3:54 for the title at 113. He also pinned Inglemoor’s Deaunte Epp. In a sparsely-filled bracket at 195, Beatty needed only two wins to claim the title, pinning Bothell’s Walker Hardan in 3:59 and knocking off Newport’s Caleb Richardson, 7-2. Eight other Spartans will compete at regionals. They got second-place efforts from Zach Froeber (132) and Chris Harper (182); third-place points from Cole Turner (113),

elated following the victory, posing for photos with his baseball teammates who’d joined the student section. The home crowd may have played a part in the result as Skyline’s Freddy Jarvis could’ve won the game for the Spartans. With 2.9 seconds left, he grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled, but missed the ensuing free throws as Mount Si’s fans did their best to distract him. Taylor Upton sank two foul shots for Mount Si to make it a three-point game. With only 1.5 seconds to score, Skyline’s last chance evaporated on an errant inbounds pass. “This is one of the bigger wins of my whole career here,” said Gorrell, who led all scorers with 21 points. “It was fun. I’ve never heard this place that loud before.” The Spartans had a 37-35 lead entering the fourth quarter. But the final eight minutes were topsy-turvy, featuring three ties and eight lead changes. Jarvis posted up and scored to give Skyline a 53-51 lead, and Ben Smith stole the ball moments later to put the Spartans in control. But the Wildcats were able to coax a miss, grab a rebound and move the ball quickly up court. They set up a play called

Skyline senior Kona Bertolino wrestles Josh Lee of Newport at 106 pounds for the Class 4A KingCo championship Feb. 4 with a 6-4 victory.

Paul Abboud (138), Jaron Jin (145), Matt Oss (220) and Caleb Inton (285); and a fourth-place finish from Thomas Jakle (106). Eastlake’s five regional participants include a pair of KingCo runnersup in Eric Plummer (220) and Matt Budoff (285). Plummer advanced to the finals with two decisions, 4-1 over Woodinville’s Paco Becerra and 7-4 over Skyline’s Oss. Plummer lost the championship match to Mount Si’s Brennan Dalgleish, 7-2. Budoff needed 1:13 to pin

Issaquah’s Mitchell Barnes and 5:20 to pin Skyline’s Caleb Inton. Newport’s Charlie Baumann pinned Budoff in 50 seconds for the title at 285. Eastlake’s Noah Morse claimed third at 182 pounds. He lost, 17-8, to Harper of Skyline but recovered to beat Bothell’s Jesus Resendiz (first-period pin) and Inglemoor’s Brandon Oxford (24-10). Rogen Kopper (third, 170) and Adam Henderson (fourth, 145) are the Wolves’ other regional qualifiers.

Kopper’s wins came against Newport’s Keir Lopez (first-period pin), Bothell’s Logan McKinney (third-period pin) and Woodinville’s Braulio Arroyo (12-1). Henderson beat Woodinville’s Nolan Downs (10-9) and Issaquah’s Caulin Saper (8-2). Wilmer Chacon (132), Matt Brookshier (138) and Cameron Knutsen (160) will be regional alternates after taking fifth in their brackets. The Wolves scored 124 points to place fourth out of eight teams.

“Fist” that involves a high pick and roll for Gorrell. “I was going to the hole and I saw Tyler (Patterson) with his hands ready,” Gorrell said. “Whenever that’s there, he’s ready to shoot it.” Gorrell’s pass to the left corner found Patterson and the freshman sharpshooter knocked down the go-ahead 3-pointer with about 15 seconds left. Patterson scored 12 points on the night, all of them from outside the arc. Griffith said it might’ve been the most clutch shot he has seen from a 14-year-old during his coaching career. “We’ve been talking to him, actually, during the season about understanding how to hit shots like that,” Griffith said. “You’ve got to put yourself in the situation first before you can make the first one.” Skyline’s Kellan Przybylski finished with 16 points to lead the Spartans, but had only three in the second half as Gorrell stayed in his hip pocket. It was a tough assignment as Przybylski has been on fire lately, breaking Skyline’s single-game record the previous week with 39 points against Bothell. “He’s a good player; he exhausted me,” Gorrell said. “… I just competed with him, I guess, and just grinded it out. He got tired, it looked like, so I did my job, I think.”
