Skyline boosters’ treasurer arrested Wendy Helling allegedly stole up to $200,000 from school accounts
BY TOM CORRIGAN tcorrigan@sammamishreview.com
The president of the Skyline Boosters’ Club said her board was not surprised by the arrest of a former treasurer for allegedly embezzling up to $107,000 from the club’s accounts.
On April 14, police arrested Wendy Helling, 53, after a yearlong investigation conducted by Sammamish Police detectives following up on a complaint from the booster club in February 2015, according to Sgt. Cindi West, spokesperson for the King County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff did not release the name of the suspect, but booster club president Kathy Baril mentioned the suspect by name in comments emailed to the Sammamish Review. “At first we were all shocked, stunned actually,” Baril wrote, SEE ARREST, PAGE 10

The City of Issaquah has received a request for preliminary plat approval for a 133-home subdivision that would result in the razing of an architecturally significant divinity school campus founded by the Sisters of Providence in 1960. The Issaquah Press has also learned that George Reece, the developer’s
managing partner, has also served as a high-ranking officer in the Eastside megachurch that owns the property. On 2015 stormwater permitting paperwork on file with the state Department of Ecology, Reece is listed as the managing partner of Brixton Homes LLC, which is pushing ahead with plans to demolish the campus on 40 acres at 4221 228th Ave. SE. The property is owned SEE CHURCH, PAGE 5

Council wavers on funds to fix Tamarack flooding BY TOM CORRIGAN tcorrigan@ sammamishreview.com
Most City Council members admit there is a problem. “Clearly, there’s an issue that needs resolution,” said Councilwoman Christie Malchow. The issue is longstanding flooding and drainage problems in the Tamarack subdivision. In February, the council authorized $183,980 for a consulting contract and design work. On April 12, City Engineer Andrew Zagar offered the City Council two plans that could fix the problem. His preferred approach would take stormwater primarily down Northeast Fourth Street and eventually to Lake Sammamish. The estimated cost was $950,000, which had some council members balking at the amount. Zagar mentioned two possible funding sources: the city’s general fund and the creation of a local improvement district, where residents who would benefit from
the project would be taxed to pay for the work. Several officials urged caution in moving forward. Tamarack consists entirely of private streets, City Manager Lyman Howard said, adding he isn’t sure the city is in the position to complete public improvements. He later said finding funding might be more “art than science.” Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo said he was wary of setting a precedent and urged the city to move slowly. Councilman Tom Hornish wondered why the city approved almost $200,000 in design costs if they weren’t ready to move forward with the actual project. Now that Sammamish has spent the design money, Hornish said the council needs to find a way to move forward. As residents in Tamarack pay taxes that go towards city sewers, resident Mary Wictor doesn’t see what the problem is. “I’m angry,” she said following the council
meeting. Wictor is a regular figure at City Council sessions, giving almost weekly reports on the conditions in Tamarack. She estimated Tamarack residents have paid $350,000 in sewer fees over the last 10 years. Wictor argued the city allowed 40 new homes to be built in the area recently, at least 20 right above her property. Runoff obeys the laws of gravity, she said, and runs downhill. Wictor promised to be at the next City Council session with as many neighbors as she can get together. In the course of the last council meeting, Councilwoman Kathy Huckabay foreshadowed some of Wictor’s comments, saying Sammamish approved all of the new housing that has gone into Tamarack. “It looks like something has to be done,” said Councilman Bob Keller. In the end, the council came to no decision, but officials said the issue would be brought back for further discussion.

Sammamish inventors inspire investors on TV’s ‘Quit Your Day Job’ BY CHRISTINA CORRALES-TOY ccorrales-toy@sammamishreview.com
Fair warning. Don’t watch the April 13 episode of Oxygen’s “Quit Your Day Job” without a box of tissues. You’ll want them handy every time Issaquah High School graduates Billy Price and Darin Donaldson appear on the TV show where entrepreneurs pitch products to a group of investors. Price’s mission to create a shoe that works for everyone struck an emotional chord with all of the investors, particularly renowned start-up advocate Sarah Prevette. The 1996 Issaquah High School graduate became paralyzed from the chest down after falling out of a thirdstory window at his University of Washington fraternity in October 1996. He dreamed up BILLY Footwear after going 18 years without being able to independently put on his shoes. “In my opinion, the best entrepreneurs are people who are solving their own problem,” Prevette said. The patent-pending design uses zippers along the side of the shoe and around the toe. Unzipping unfurls the shoe’s upper flap completely, allowing the wearer to place his or her foot inside unobstructed. Pull the loop on the zipper and the wearer’s foot is now secure. Despite concerns about Price’s passion for entrepreneurship and initial evidence that able-bodied testers did not love the shoe’s prototype, the panel of investors agreed to back BILLY Footwear at the end of the episode. “I do think Billy has passion.

think that his passion may not be as energetic as what we’re accustomed to,” investor Lauren Maillian argued. The duo cannot disclose the exact amount of the investment, but the backers have served as valuable mentors and opened doors to new opportunities, they said after the episode aired. The episode’s most emotional moment came when Price, Donaldson and investors Maillian and Prevette watched as a war veteran paralyzed in a helicopter crash tried on the footwear. “Your idea works, man,” the veteran said as he put on his own shoes for the first time in 12 years. The same day the show aired, BILLY Footwear launched a Kickstarter campaign where people can order the shoes. The goal is to raise $30,000. Support the campaign at kck. st/1qMKqcM.

Voters to decide on two school districts’ bonds Citing intolerable crowding, LWSD hopes third time is the charm
BY TOM CORRIGAN tcorrigan@ sammamishreview.com
Sammamish’s Mead Elementary School is so crowded, the building does not have a cafeteria. The Lake Washington School District says students are served lunch outside, then head back to classrooms to eat. After local crows discovered the school’s salad buffet, the school was forced to put up bird netting. With a $398 million bond sale on the April 26 ballot, district supporters held a large get-out-thevote event at Mead on April 12. A Mead thirdgrader, Addison Smith, told the gathered crowd what no cafeteria means for students. “This is important because we do not have enough space for students to successfully learn and grow,” the 9-year-old said. “We don’t even have a good place to eat. Our salad bar is set up in the courtyard, in the rain, and we have to carry our lunch back to our classrooms.” While Sammamish has a handful of Lake Washington district schools, only Mead would be directly affected by the bond issue if it passes. The school would be rebuilt and enlarged at a cost of $44.9 million, according to the district’s website.
The event at Mead was part of a districtwide “Red Tuesday” event. According to supporters, volunteers turned out at schools around the district. There were some 200 people at Mead alone, according to Kerri Nielsen, a member of the Citizens Levy Committee, which is promoting the bond issue. Citing an overcrowding problem they say has only worsened, the district tried to twice pass bond measures in 2014. Both efforts failed to attract the 60 percent of voters needed to approve bond measures in Washington. Eric Campbell is a LWSD parent and a member of the 63-person, long-term facilities task force that ultimately recommended the bond package. He said the bond would reduce the number of portables used by the district and help alleviate overcrowding. And, perhaps most importantly, it will help accomplish these goals with no tax increase, a fact bond supporters are repeating as often as possible. According to the district, the total tax rate would be maintained at the 2015 rate of $3.30 per $1,000 in property valuation. “The Lake Washington School District is one of the fastest-growing in the state. In fact, we’ve grown

th
from the sixth- to the fourth-largest this year alone,” Campbell said. “We saw an increase of 1,114 students in just one year. To paint a picture, that’s growth of 34 new classrooms in one year.” “Some 14 percent of the student body is in portables,” said Nielsen, “and this is just not really an option.” Melanie Smith is a Mead parent who took part in the April 12 rally. “It’s all gone very well,” Smith said of the campaign in general. “I’m very excited,” she added. According to the district, if approved, the bond will: q Build two new elementary schools q Build a new middle school q Rebuild and enlarge Juanita High School q Replace and enlarge both Mead Elementary in Sammamish and Kirk Elementary in Kirkland q Renovate the Old Redmond School House q Reduce the use of portables If the April 26 proposal passes, the district currently has plans for up to three more bond issues of $288 million, $278 million and $207 million. Those measures will go before voters every few years through 2026. School Superintendent Traci Pierce has said none would add to tax levels.
Home stretch for backers of Issaquah’s $533 million proposal
BY TOM CORRIGAN tcorrigan@ sammamishreview.com
As the campaign for the $533 million bond issue to benefit the Issaquah School District enters the home stretch, school board member Suzanne Weaver said she is cautiously optimistic about the issue’s chances for passage. “The thing that scares me the most is when people say, ‘Oh, really, there’s a bond?’” Weaver said. The district and its supporters haven’t been exactly quiet about the bond. The issue must be approved by at least 60 percent of voters April 26 in order to pass. Weaver and others have talked about honk-and-waves at schools and visiting the PTSA of every school in the district. Weaver said the first mailers regarding the bond went to local voters last week. Another will go out this week and a third will go to residents who have not returned their mail-in ballots by a certain day. The biggest-ticket items that would be funded by the bond
Name: 15705/ Flintoft’s Funeral Home & Width: 19p6.6 Depth: 4 in On Page: 3 Request Page: 0 Type: Display Color: Black File
sale are four new schools: one comprehensive high school, one middle school and two elementary schools. Weaver said a few people she has spoken with are upset the district won’t or can’t say where the new schools will go. While the ballot issue would allow the schools to sell over a half a billion dollars in bonds, the district has said from the start local property taxes will not go up, at least not because of the schools. However, as previous bond issues and other debts are paid off, tax rates won’t go down. At present, the school tax is about $4.14 per $1,000 in property valuation. Besides four new buildings, some of the planned projects include a $71 million rebuild of Pine Lake Middle School. An upgrade of Beaver Lake Middle School would run $8.5 million. Five existing elementary schools would be revamped at a cost of $7 million to $9 million each. The central administration building would get a revamp and expansion with a

price tag of $7.5 million. The bond proceeds also would fund $6 million in portable classrooms, $6 million for project management and a $12 million reserve or contingency fund. Dawn Pescheck, president of the nonprofit Voters for Issaquah Schools, has been traveling around the area and speaking to various groups. Pescheck said she had not heard any strong objections to the bond issue. Like Weaver, Pescheck went through a long list of VIS activities, including mailers, information drops and so on. PTSAs have been asked to contact parents with children at their individual schools. VIS planned at least one more information drop following the end of spring break, Pescheck said. A largescale honk-and-wave is planned for April 25 at schools and hightraffic areas. Ballots were mailed out to voters April 6. The last day to return ballots is Election Day, April 26.

Support light rail for the betterment of entire region
Sure, tax rate doesn’t change, but school bond isn’t free
Americans, more than any other people in the world, have been tethered to our cars for several generations, and the convenience of having ready transportation in our driveways isn’t going to be replaced anytime soon. But it’s past time for King County residents to come up with viable solutions to the region’s gridlock. No one who has crawled from Federal Way to Seattle, Neil Pierson Lynnwood to Bellevue or Puyallup to Renton during a weekday commute could possibly argue the system isn’t broken. It has gotten to the point where sunny weekends are turning our freeways and major arterials into parking lots because everyone wants to get out and about at the same time. It’s beyond frustrating to spend hours in the car for a round trip between south King County, or the Eastside, and the various corners of Seattle. So when a big-picture idea like Sound Transit 3 is proposed, we should look beyond our typical modus operandi. On its face, ST3 looks like a bloated whale of debt, with new taxes funding about half of the $50 billion in projects planned for the next quarter century. But when you break it down to a smaller scale, it’s going to cost the typical adult $17 a month. In other words, for the same price as a few trips to Starbucks, the nightmare commutes and weekend stopand-go’s will be reduced. Even if the finished product gets only 5 percent of vehicles off the road during the busiest travel times, it will be more than worth it. ST3, as you may already be aware, is in the midst of a vetting process that already included several studies, with an opportunity for the public to provide feedback at a series of meetings or online at soundtransit3.org. I’ll be honest – I’m not a frequent user of the current Link light rail system, but I would be if it were convenient for getting me to and from work. Unfortunately, my job is one in which a car is a necessity, but there are certainly plenty of folks who would benefit from having light rail just minutes from their door in Everett, Bellevue, Redmond or Issaquah. My own experience with light rail is extraordinarily positive. I use it often when traveling to games in downtown Seattle because you can’t find a parking spot there for $6, the typical cost of train fare. It’s not always possible to get there more quickly by train, but whatever time is lost is alleviated by the ease of travel – none of the constant braking, left-lane hogs or useless variable speed zones found on the freeways. There will undoubtedly be naysayers who will point out the drawbacks, namely the molasses-like speed with which ST3 will be completed: Redmond and Federal Way will be the first to receive the new light-rail service and that won’t happen for another 12 years. It’s not a perfect solution, but nothing ever is. To reject the plan is to reject progress in one of the nation’s fastest growing metropolitan areas. We’re already behind many comparable markets in the usefulness of our mass-transit systems. Personally, I’d sacrifice a couple latte runs each week to make the future a little brighter.

A comment in support of the new school bond is misleading. The statement that approving this bond will not affect our tax “rate” implies that there will not be any increase in our tax bill. Almost 38 percent of my 2016 property taxes will originate from voter-approved levies. That is where the cost of the new school bond will show up and the increase will have nothing to do with the tax “rate.” Don’t be lulled into believing that this bond will be free. Richard Janney Sammamish
Urgent projects are up first in Lake Washington school bond As a parent in the Lake Washington School District, I see every day how population growth is impacting the ability of our kids to learn. We have overcrowded schools, with our students attending classes in hallways and other spaces not meant for learning. We are using a lot of portables, and the problem is just getting worse. In fact, by next year we will have 168 portable buildings across the district. That’s why I’m voting “yes” on the Lake Washington School District bond. It will improve our kids’ educational opportunities without raising our tax rate. Because fiscal accountability is important to me, this bond measure keeps costs down for taxpayers by addressing our district’s needs in stages. It prioritizes the most urgent projects first — the ones that will have the greatest impact on students. By paying off other district bonds and levies, the school district can fund this bond proposal without raising our tax rate. And bond approval ensures that the district is eligible for state match-

ing funds to make sure our local investment goes even further. I hope you will join me in voting “yes” for our schools April 26. Carlene Camera Sammamish
A 60 percent threshold means every bond vote is important On your travels around the area, you have probably noticed road signs with bright yellow school buses, reminding you to vote for the Issaquah School District bond on April 26. You may have thought, “Oh, why bother, my one vote doesn’t mean anything.” But what if everyone thought that way and didn’t bother to vote? Your vote may be just “1”, but add it up with all the 1s of your neighbors and suddenly they are no longer 1s, but “many.” This bond needs 60 percent of ballots cast to say “Yes,” so we need your 1. The children of this community need your 1 to have the facilities and equipment in order to learn. We need your 1 to help the students of the Issaquah School District become the leaders and workers of the future. We need your 1 to help educate our children to become doctors and lawyers and officers and coffee-stand baristas. You don’t have kids in the Issaquah School District right now? Your 1 is even more important — only about 30 percent of the voters in this area have children going to school in our district. If those without Issaquah School District students don’t vote, this bond will not pass. So your 1 is crucial. Every vote counts. Please vote for the Issaquah School District bond on April 26.

Burglary Persons unknown gained entry into a residential garage in the 2100 block of Northeast 16th Street. Police said “multiple items” were taken, but did not provide details. The theft happened April 4.
Attempted burglary? Police responded to a report of suspicious noises at La Petite Academy, a day care and preschool at 410 228th Ave. NE, the night of April 5. Reports say police discovered grease on a door to the building, but nothing further. The incident was reported at 11:15 p.m.
Burglary Persons unknown broke into a residential garage the night of April 6. Initial police reports don’t say what was taken from the home in the 500 block of 205th Avenue Northeast.
Shoplifting Two male suspects made off with unknown grocery items from the Safeway store at 228th Avenue Northeast. The incident took place April 6.
Swallowing the evidence? At 3:47 p.m. on April 6, police arrested a man driving without a license and booked him on one felony and two misdemeanor warrants. The King County jail would not accept the prisoner, police said, because he had swallowed drugs. He was instead taken to Harborview Medical Center. The man was stopped in the parking lot of the QFC, 4500 Klahanie Drive SE. The Sammamish Review publishes names of those charged with felony crimes.

by Kirkland-based The City Church, which bought the property from the Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle for $22.7 million in 2008. On 2014 tax documents, Reece is listed as the treasurer for City Ministries, which is affiliated with The City Church as a nonprofit “that serves families in need,” according to the church’s website. Brixton Homes is described as a “member of the Murray Franklyn family of companies.” Reece is CEO of Bellevue-based Murray Franklyn. In January, The City Church said another of its affiliates, Plateau Campus LLC, was under contract to sell the property for an undisclosed amount to Brixton Homes. The campus is renowned for 14 stained-glass windows that adorn the midcentury modern chapel on the site. The Sisters of Providence sold the school to the Lutheran Bible Institute in 1969, which owned it for 29
years before selling it to The City Church. The entire site is eligible for placement on the National Register of Historic Places, said Chris Moore, executive director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. Mike Martin, an associate planner for the city, said Issaquah received the preliminary plat request April 6. The purpose of a preliminary plat is to establish lot design for a subdivision and establish utility layout, street and intersection design. Martin said notices will be sent out to neighbors of the property and other parties of record the week of April 17. According to documents on file with the City of Issaquah, the site would become a housing development with 133 single-family homes. The campus currently has one occupant: the Sammamish YMCA. The YMCA is in the process of moving out, taking over operation of the new Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center. The plans are reviewed first by the
development services department. The ultimate decision lies with the city hearing examiner, who has jurisdiction because of the zoning in place on the property, Martin said. Any final approvals are likely a few months away, Martin said. Brixton Homes could not be reached at the number listed on the city website. Brixton is part of the Murray Franklyn Family of Companies, headquartered in Bellevue. A call to a company marketing manager was not returned. The Washington Trust has shown interest in how the development is proceeding, contacting the city on several occasions, Martin said. “Certainly, our goal is to see the whole campus preserved,” Moore said, though he admitted most attention has been directed to the chapel and its windows. Those triangular windows reach 33 feet in height and were created in 1957 by a French master artist, Gabriel Loire. The windows were commissioned by the Sisters of Providence, a Catholic order that opened the campus as an “accred-
l
5
ited school that taught a variety of disciplines to religious women of various communities.” While inclusion on the National Register would presumably offer the campus some aid in terms of preservation, Moore said the property owner must apply for the designation. Moore said his organization has reached out to Brixton Homes, but the firm has not been responsive so far. The preservation group’s hope is that at least part of the campus, perhaps the chapel, can be integrated into the residential development. Moore said Issaquah has plenty of historic buildings and places, referring indirectly to the Olde Town area. But he likes to think of history as being in layers, saying the campus represents one of the more recent layers of local history worth preserving. The campus has been nominated for inclusion on the preservation group’s annual most-endangered list. Moore did not say, however, whether or not it would make the cut. The list will be released April 25.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Abi Kirsten reaches all new heights for Eastside Catholic BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com
As players filtered onto the field for a recent fastpitch practice at Eastside Catholic, cheerful voices and the strains of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” filled the air. Such is the life for many successful teams, and the Crusaders have reasons to be happy as they’ve started the Class 3A Metro League season with a 6-2 record.
Part of the team’s success stems from its veteran leadership. Captains Caroline Sonnen, Maddie Iem, Molly Brown and Abi Kirsten have meshed well with a group of talented freshman who’ve earned starting spots at catcher, third base, left field and right field. Kirsten is the focal point as the Crusaders’ No. 3 hitter and top pitcher. She has developed into one of the league’s best all-around players, taking her
game to a new level during the first half of the 2016 season. “Her stamina out there on the mound is amazing,” said Angela Napier, EC’s seventhyear coach. “Her hitting right now is phenomenal. She’s got confidence, desire, drive, everything. And just a good heart – a good kid.” Kirsten’s eight-game stat sheet resembles something from a Nintendo game: She’s SEE KIRSTEN, PAGE 9
Skyline steps up as KingCo power BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com
When first-year coach Lindsay Sullivan began watching her Skyline fastpitch players during the offseason, she came away impressed with their physical skills. Most of the players are involved with the sport throughout the calendar year on various select teams, and three of them have oral or written commitments to play collegiately. Talent wasn’t an issue, but the Spartans struggled mightily in 2015, missing the playoffs with a 3-13 record in Class 4A KingCo Conference games. It didn’t take long for Sullivan, who played college softball, to see why. “The thing that was missing was the team chemistry and the mental side of believing in themselves,” she said. With the 2016 season at the midway point, the Spartans have erased the bad memories of last season and are establishing themselves as a KingCo championship contender. Prior to games this week against Mount Si and Bothell that were played after press deadlines, Skyline was in first place with a 7-0 record, having knocked off defending champion Woodinville, beating Inglemoor with a walk-off home run, and obliterating rival Issaquah in an April 12 game that was officially recorded as a forfeit. Skyline piled up a 14-1 lead

through three innings against Issaquah before heavy rain forced the teams off the field. The Eagles, who were in the middle of their spring break, couldn’t field enough players to finish the game the following day, so Skyline was declared the winner, 2-0. Every player in the lineup had a hit. Molly Spaniac was 3 for 3 with a single, double, triple and three RBI, while Lauren Lo had three hits and scored three times. Skyline won’t get to keep those statistics due to the forfeit, but Sullivan ran out of superlatives to describe her team, which has won nine straight after losing nonleague games to Snohomish and Monroe to start the season. “Our bats are really starting to peak,” the coach said. “It’s awesome. It’s just the
mental part of the game that’s coming together.” Skyline also has a legitimate ace pitcher in junior Caroline Bowman, who allowed three hits and one walk with three strikeouts in her abbreviated outing at Issaquah. The Spartans haven’t reached the state tournament in a dozen years, but that streak could end if they continue their well-rounded play. Sophomore Shayna Swanson, who typically bats toward the bottom of the lineup, homered in the bottom of the seventh as Skyline beat Inglemoor, 2-1, on April 11. Infielders Annika Hildebrand and Camille Goo also provide pop in the middle of the order. Sullivan can always look SEE POWER, PAGE 9
Ashley Fitzgibbons and Maddie Nelson are two of the most highly decorated players in the history of the Eastlake girls golf program, but they’re still looking to add a state championship to the school’s trophy case. With help from an improving group of teammates, the seniors hope to have a storybook ending to their careers at next month’s Class 4A state tournament. If the Wolves can qualify enough girls, they’ll have a chance to knock off six-time defending champion Bellarmine Prep, whom they’ve finished second to the past two seasons. Eastlake was at a distinct disadvantage at state in 2015, qualifying three girls to Bellarmine’s seven, which turned into a 78-point difference between the teams. The Wolves hope to have girls like Lauren Fisher, Helen Maslen or Mehak Mann make their state debuts, joining Fitzgibbons, Nelson and junior Bethan Eames. “We think we can definitely take four to state – taking five or six would be awesome,” Nelson said after taking medalist honors at a KingCo Conference match against Mount Si on April 14. “If there was a year for us (to
win the title), this would be it. It would be a nice way to go out.” Nelson, who will be playing collegiate golf in the Ivy League next year at Dartmouth College, compares this year’s squad to Eastlake’s boys team of 2012-13, which won the 4A title behind future collegians Li Wang and Spencer Weiss. “It’s kind of like the perfect storm for us this year,” Nelson said. “We have Helen and Bethan and Mehak and Lauren.

field, but she provides a tenacious leadoff threat for the Spartans. “She’s a silent leader,” Sullivan said. “Even if she doesn’t get some sort of hit, she does something to fire up the lineup.” Sullivan said she has been calling pitches during KingCo games, but allowed catchers Maddie Peters and Nadia Ramirez to do it during nonleague outings. Whoever the backup catcher is typically sits with the coach on the bench to share observations of what’s happening on the field.
“They’re still learning the game – they will get there eventually,” Sullivan said. The Spartans have room for improvement but believe they can lean on Bowman to carry them against tough opposing pitchers. They’ve already won five games in which they’ve scored three runs or fewer. The key, Sullivan said, is taking the lead. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing because as soon as soon as you get on top of someone else, it puts doubt in their heads,” she said.

Caitlin Maralack (2-over 38) and Kat Hodgson (7-over 43) were the Wildcats’ lowest scorers. Eastlake’s Eames (43), Maslen (44) and Fisher (45) were right behind them. Regardless of how the season ends, Fitzgibbons and Nelson said they’ll treasure their time as Eastlake golfers, an experience that has forged lasting bonds with their fellow athletes and the team’s parents. “It was a really good time for me to grow as a person,” Fitzgibbons said. “I never experienced being on a team before, so this was just a really good opportunity for me to have a family, I guess, for golf.”

batting .538 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 17 runs scored. Her pitching prowess (a 2.33 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 30 innings) is more than enough for an offense that averages nearly 12 runs per game. She’s beginning to earn respect from opponents, said Sonnen, a junior shortstop and pitcher who is one of Kirsten’s best friends on the team. “We’ve walked by other teams and they’re kind of like, ‘Oh, that No. 5 right there, she’s really strong – got to watch out for her,’” Sonnen said. “You can definitely that she’s rising up and at her prime right now.” Kirsten had a monster game on April 11 as EC rallied past Holy Names. Down 7-1 in the sixth inning, the Crusaders scored the final eight runs for a 9-7 triumph. Kirsten hit two balls out of the park and drove in five. “It was so intense. It was a nail-biter,” Napier said. “But the nice thing about Eastside Catholic
girls, they don’t quit.” Kirsten and her teammates want to reach the state tournament for the first time in school history. To do it, they they’ll likely have to get past traditional Metro powers like Bainbridge, Holy Names and West Seattle. Kirsten said a shift in attitude is fueling her white-hot start. “I’ve had a history of worrying too much about getting a hit or not,” she said, “and coach told me my senior year, just go out, have fun, hit the ball, and so that’s the mentality I’ve been doing.” Iem, a junior second baseman and outfielder, became fast friends with Kirsten two years ago. “Abi was the first person that actually talked to me on the team and she has been my role model ever since,” Iem said. “There’s not time where she is not upbeat and in the game, and she’s one of the most amazing players I’ve ever seen.” Kirsten may have added incentive to push EC to new heights, since she won’t be continuing her playing career in college. She’s headed to Gonzaga University, which doesn’t have

intercollegiate softball, though she hopes to play at a club or recreational level. She’s also an awardwinning artist and is will be featured at the school’s April 21 Art Walk, where she’s auctioning off a customized drawing to the highest bidder. She’s thinking of pursuing a minor in art at Gonzaga. Between now and then, though, she’s planning to relish her time in blue and orange. The Crusaders have been building their program for years and finally reached the point this spring where Napier had to make cuts for the first time. “The freshmen earned it and it was the right thing to do,” Napier said of cutting some veteran players. Kirsten has been a varsity pitcher since her freshman season, so nerves rarely comes into play, even when she’s in the middle of a close game. “I do better in stressful situations at times … so being the center of the game or being the center of tough situations, it comes easy to me and I have a lot of fun doing it,” she said.

alleging Helling’s part in any embezzlement. “Poor bookkeeping would have been an annoyance, but this was obviously an intentional and blatant abuse of the trust that the club had given her. Then we became angry because it is simply wrong of her, on so many levels, to take the clubs’ money.” Sammamish detectives became aware of the alleged crime in February 2015 when booster club board members reported funds missing from the nonprofit group’s account. According to Baril, the club board notified their membership of the situation in February 2015 and again in May 2015. Board members told police Helling had been the treasurer and had sole signing authority for the accounts from 2008 until she abruptly resigned in January 2015 after board mem-
bers asked for financial records related to the account. West said. Sammamish Det. William Albright led the investigation and obtained bank records for the nonprofit’s account and a search warrant for Helling’s bank account. According to police, the investigation revealed numerous checks written from 2009 to 2014 to Helling and her husband on the booster club’s account totaling more than $48,000. Additionally, police say there were more than $59,000 in cash deposits made into their account that are believed to be booster club funds. Helling was booked in King County Jail for theft, West said. The case was forwarded to the county prosecutor’s office for review. There was no word on any charges as of April 18. In May 2015, while the investigation was ongoing, Baril and Albright said Helling wrote a check for $31,500 to reimburse the club, but it was well shy of the
amount an accounting law firm, hired by the booster club, discovered was missing from the account, Baril said. The $107,000 figure may not be all the money that is missing. The booster club estimated a loss of over $200,000. Albright said that an undetermined amount might be missing from concession sales and fundraisers. He added, however, that he could only base his investigation on bank records. Baril said the booster board has put in additional safeguards designed to prevent anything like this from happening again. “The club’s general fund will donate over $45,000 back into the 80-plus school clubs and athletic teams this year from our membership drive, donations, concessions, merchandise sales and other fundraisers,” Baril said. “Our membership, volunteer involvement and engagement with the school clubs and athletic teams have

both grown stronger under the revived system and are on track to see exponential growth in the coming years.” Baril said no activities were threatened by the loss of the funds. “No activities that I am aware of were threatened as in – discontinued - because of lack of funds,” she said. “The majority of funds that are missing are thought to be general funds from membership fees, donations, concessions, and merchandise sales over the last seven years. Those funds would have supported grants and school spirit each year.”
