Council passes resolution to support gun-safety initiative

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com

Washington voters will decide next month whether to expand background checks for private sales of firearms, and the Sammamish City Council has publicly stated its support for the idea.

Initiative 594 was the subject of a public hearing at the council’s Oct. 7 meeting, prompting people on both sides of the debate to speak. After the hearing, the council voted 5-2 to support the initiative.

Councilmen Don Gerend and Ramiro Valderrama opposed the resolution, saying they were unclear on the proposed law’s intentions and couldn’t form a strong opinion.

Ray Carter, a Bellevue business owner representing the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, encouraged the council to oppose I-594 and support

Initiative 591, another measure on the Nov. 4 ballot that aims to curb the expansion of background checks and stop unlawful gun seizures.

Carter said he believes I-594’s biggest problem is how its language defines a gun transfer. By laying down a firearm and allowing the mayor to pick it up, cross the room, and then return it, both parties could be guilty of misdemeanor and felony offenses, he said.

“It isn’t that background checks are bad — it’s that 594 is bad,” Carter said. “It’s laced with pitfalls, ill-considered provisions, entrapment and unintended consequences, including universal handgun registration.”

Sammamish resident Carole Martin was one of three speakers who supported I-594. She said her husband owns three guns, and she compared the need for background checks on weapons to the requirements for getting a driver’s license.

Both, she said, are matters of public safety.

“The objective of Initiative 594 is to keep guns out of the hands of felons and severely mentally ill people,” Martin said. “And to be honest with you, I really can’t understand why any law-abiding citizen would object to being required to undergo background checks in order to be the proud owner of a gun.”

City Attorney Michael Kenyon, in response to council inquiry, said he felt unqualified to legally define the meaning of a gun transfer. And while See GUNS, Page 2 Prsrt Std U.S. Postage PAID Kent, WA Permit No. 71 POSTAL CUSTOMER

Klahanie From Page 1 2035. King County has projected 180 new units for the Klahanie area by that date, so Sammamish’s new growth plan, if the annexation occurs, would be 4,820 units. That’s an increase of 3.8 percent.

Of the city’s current plans to add housing units, Thomas said “probably upwards of half will be in our Town Center area.” He also noted that additional

Guns From Page 1 city councils are permitted to form collective stances on political issues, he said, public employees are forbidden from doing so in their job capacity.

Councilwoman Nancy Whitten said she intended to vote for I-594.

She believes that illegal gun sales put women at risk of intimate-partner violence, and the state initiative is doing what hasn’t been accomplished at the federal level.

“I feel very strongly that even if just one life is saved because of this

housing wouldn’t have to be built in Klahanie, where there are relatively few empty spaces that are zoned for residential growth.

“The key here is … absorbing that additional 180-unit growth target, that can absorbed anywhere in the city,” Thomas said. “It doesn’t have to go into Klahanie.”

The council will have to adopt some comprehensive plan amendments in order to incorporate the Klahanie area. The amendments deal with things like multifamily

housing and wetlands management.

Thomas noted that some wetlands in the Klahanie area also overlap into the existing city limits. Those situations are familiar to city officials, who have dealt with them in past annexations.

“How we’ve treated these annexations in the past, and how we propose to treat the Klahanie area here, is to simply incorporate these wetland management areas into (being) regulated under the city’s critical areas ordinance,” Thomas said.

law, even though it’s not perfect, it’s better than not having it,” Whitten said.

Councilman Tom Odell said the U.S. has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and said he was siding with King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, an I-594 proponent who has a great deal of expertise with such laws.

“I do believe that we have to start doing something beyond what we’re currently doing,” Odell said, “because, obviously, what we’re currently doing is not working very well.”

Carter and other opponents of the initiative pointed out there are no

funding provisions for increased law-enforcement costs. Cities and counties would have to perform the additional background checks, and prosecute and imprison violators.

The Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs, the state’s largest law-enforcement organization, opposes I-594.

“There is debate as to whether this measure creates a gun registry,” the organization’s official endorsement states. “If it does not, the background checks are useless for enforcement. If it does, it is an infringement on the privacy rights of gun owners.”

Carson Elementary program aims to bring more dads to class

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com

By Neil Pierson

Jim Gallagher and his daughter Sammy, a second-grade student at Carson Elementary School, share some bonding time during the school’s Watch D.O.G.S. kickoff night Oct. 2. Watch D.O.G.S. is designed to spur fathers’ involvement in their children’s schools.

Statistics show that only one-fourth of the nation’s classroom teachers are men, and that figure drops to about 16 percent in elementary schools.

Schools have had to get creative in order to increase the number of male role models in their classrooms and on their playgrounds. At Carson Elementary School, parents and teachers have banded together to start a Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program, aimed at increasing male volunteerism.

Brian Mason, the father of a Carson second-grader, was nicknamed “Top Dog” after helping spearhead the program’s start-up efforts.

The school held a kickoff event Oct. 2, and the turnout was high: Roughly half of the 450 families showed up, and so many fathers signed up to volunteer that most days on the 2014-15 school calendar were filled.

Mason, who began coming into his son’s classroom last year, said it’s often difficult for dads to volunteer because they find school environ-

ments intimidating. He has felt comfortable coaching his son’s baseball and soccer teams, but was initially nervous about supervising recess or helping with reading lessons.

“The reality is, the education system these days is very female-dominated,” Mason said. “You’re walking into a world where everybody around you is thinking in a different way, so I think it’s a natural thing to happen, where guys kind of do their thing and the ladies kind of do their thing.”

Watch D.O.G.S., a program started by the National Center for Fathering, has flourished since its inception in 1998. More than 4,000 schools in 46 states — as well as other countries like Canada, Mexico and China — are using it. Washington has one of the nation’s highest participation rates, with more than 300 schools involved, including several Lake Washington elementary schools.

Taylor Davis, a Carson first-grade teacher, said the school tried a similar program last year to get dads volunteering specifically during recess.

Watch D.O.G.S., however, expands upon that idea, and it quickly caught

fire as school officials spread the word through newsletters and a curriculum night.

“It’s an untapped market,” Davis said. “We have so much PTSA support, and so many moms that come in on a daily basis, but the dads haven’t been touched yet.

“They haven’t been asked to come in, and some of them are so busy as working professionals they don’t think they can spend the day doing this.”

The program’s goal is to get every father to volunteer at least one day per year in their child’s classroom.

Dads with more than one Carson student can volunteer on multiple days, or split one day between multiple classes. School officials are encouraging dads to come in on their child’s birthday to make the event extraspecial.

Volunteers receive a T-shirt and a photo with their child, and then spend the school day doing various tasks: supervising and playing games at recess, eating lunch and lending See DADS, Page 5

Editorial It’s time to change the batteries in your smoke detector October is about more than ghosts, goblins, pumpkins and Halloween. It’s time to change the batteries in our home smoke detectors, fire alarms and carbon monoxide alert sensors.

While smoke detectors can be obnoxious if you’re accidently charring the bacon, these small devices can save lives.

Yeah, we know batteries last a long time these days.

But if you skip changing your alarm batteries this year, will you remember to do it next year? Is it worth the gamble?

Fire departments in the United States responded to an annual average of 366,600 home structural fires annually from 2007-2011. Or think of it this way — one home in 320 had a fire each year.

More sobering: Seven people die each day in the U.S. in home fires, and more than 13,000 people suffer burns or injuries from home fires each year.

Surprisingly, fires starting in the kitchen account for only 16 percent of all home fires. The most dangerous place turns out to be the bedroom. One-fourth of home fire deaths result from fires that start there, from candles left burning, electrical appliances that go haywire or the biggest no-no — smoking in bed.

Sixty percent of those deaths were in homes without working smoke alarms. A lot of those homes had smoke alarms, but someone forgot to change the batteries or the batteries had been inserted incorrectly.

Older adults — the seniors in our community — are the age group most likely to die in a home fire.

Have an elderly neighbor or relative? After you change the batteries in your detectors, call the seniors in your life and offer to change their batteries, too. Most smoke detectors are installed on ceilings. The older people get, the harder and more dangerous it is for them to climb a step stool or ladder.

And while you’ve got your smoke detector down, make sure it still works. Smoke detectors have a relatively short lifespan and those you installed a decade ago should be upgraded.

In this country, the annual cost of damage to homes by fire is $7.2 billion. A new battery costs less than $2. That’s a bargain you can’t pass up for your family.

Poll of the week What are your views on Initiatives 591 and 594, the state’s two gun-related ballot measures?

A) I-591 protects the rights of lawful gun owners B) I-594 ends a loophole for criminals to exploit C) Both initiatives should pass D) Neither initiative should pass Vote at www.sammamishreview.com.

Guest column Go ‘All in for Kids’ during annual fundraiser

By Dana Rundle and Kym Clayton Co-chairs, All in for Kids Annual Fund Campaign

Great schools and great communities go hand in hand. It is likely that one or both of these influenced your decision to live within the Issaquah School District boundaries. The Issaquah Schools Foundation asks you to ensure both remain great by contributing to the All in for Kids Annual Fund Campaign.

You may be surprised to learn that our district is among the worst funded in the state — of 295 Washington school districts, we’re 291st in perpupil funding.

What brightens this

bleak financial picture are parents and residents like you, who refuse to let the economic challenges of today impact our young minds of tomorrow.

For 28 years, concerned community citizens have partnered with the foundation to connect critical resources to student and district needs. In doing so, they have elevated the basic education funded by the state to the dynamic, 21st-century education our students deserve and the global marketplace demands.

Community donors fund more than $1 million of student-centered programs in our schools.

Everything from a $100,000 annual dedicated fine arts fund and elementary writing cur-

riculum to science, technology, engineering and math programs and the Healthy Youth Initiative.

Their gifts make a tangible impact on the resources available to every student, at every level, at every building.

Another surprising fact: Only 20 percent of district families are responsible for making possible these critical investments. If the families who aren’t donating joined the foundation with the average donation of $342 a year, they would generate an additional $3.4 million for our students and schools. Imagine the possibilities!

To those families who know of and support the foundation, thank you!

Please continue to help by sharing your knowledge

and passion for education with your friends and neighbors.

If you have not yet donated this year, please do so today at www.isfdn. org or when our wonderful and energetic high school volunteers call you during our All in for Kids calling nights Oct. 21 and 28. Please answer your phone, listen to their request and contribute.

Whether you can give $5/ month (a latte?) or the average family donation of $342 a year, your gift will help our students discover, develop and achieve the promise of their academic potential.

Great education comes from great schools, and great schools are part of great communities. We are proud to be part of both.

direction of our city. I agree with everything you posted. My only change would be to your introduction ... I personally feel it is too late to change the direction of our city.

We can’t fix what our City Council has deemed appropriate for our little city; i.e., taking the “only view” in Sammamish to build out their new city offices 14 1/2 years ago, spending $25 million in reserves (our money) on a YMCA in the council’s backyard, spending about $100,000 to move a “historical” home, “improvements” to the East Lake Sammamish Trail decimating the backyards of residents, stands of gorgeous trees taken down and the list continues.

If any of you have ever gone to a City Council meeting, etc., it doesn’t take long to realize residents are not listened to and most concerns fall on deaf ears. The council’s mind is made up long before we as residents can speak our mind.

I’ll assume each council member is an elected official. If the majority of residents are unhappy with the city’s direction, why aren’t they voted out of office?

We are not a destination city or a throughway. You can only do so much taking away and not putting back before the city will be used up! Sometimes, progress just isn’t!

The Sammamish Arts Commission, 4Culture, the city of Sammamish and the Sammamish Library are to be congratulated on their cooperative effort that went into the success of the two-day cultural experience.

It is very rewarding to have events such as the Arts Fair available to the residents of Sammamish and surrounding areas.

The artists that were selected represented a wide range of schools of art and artistic media.

It was inspiring to walk

through the exhibits and not only see the artist at work but also hear him or her sharing stories with those in attendance.

One noted feature was that many of the artists were from nearby communities, such as Pamela Wickard, from North Bend, who also has displayed her paintings at Sammamish Nights. Hopefully, the ninth annual Sammamish Arts Fair next year will be as popular as this year’s.

“By getting us into the school, we’re getting to see our kid’s day, something that today’s father wants more and more and more,” Mason said.

Eventually, as more fathers volunteer, they might be inspired to return. Several years ago, a survey found that about 80 percent of dads who participated in Watch D.O.G.S. then got involved in other school activities, such as PTSA or parentteacher conferences.

Having more men around schools could even lower bullying and harassment rates.

“When you see a lot more guys around, the school feels a lot safer,” Mason said.

Throughout the year, Mason and Davis hope to glean their volunteers’ skill sets. Whether a dad is a computer programmer, a graphic designer

or a public speaker, they likely have gifts that translate to an elementary school class. They might then be interested in teaching an hourlong class.

“These are real talents that our school can tap into,” Mason said.

“Hopefully, when curriculum night comes up next year and their teachers are asking for classroom volunteers, they might be more interested in coming in,” Davis said. “… That’s more hands on deck. It’s getting more people involved and it’s really bridging that gap between the community and the school, which only benefits each child, whether it’s their child or not.”

Eastlake tennis team blisters Woodinville Falcons

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com

This year’s Eastlake High School boys tennis team is versatile — so versatile, in fact, the Wolves’ top singles player may turn to doubles in the postseason.

Thiago Bandeira continued his strong junior season Oct. 7 when host Eastlake claimed a 7-0 victory over the Woodinville Falcons in Class 4A KingCo Conference play.

Bandeira used an arsenal of cross-court winners, accurate serving and occasional forays to the net to dispatch Max Wing, 6-4, 6-1, in the No. 1 singles match.

He said the match was good for him because he’d taken a lengthy rest and hadn’t practiced in three days, although he wouldn’t have minded a tougher test from Wing.

“It’s not that he wasn’t very good, but his play

style didn’t present any challenges,” Bandeira said. “… It’s always good just to check up on how you’re doing. That was a pretty good sort of diagnostic game, I guess.”

However, with the KingCo tournament and a berth to next May’s state tournament looming Oct. 28-30, Bandeira is prepared to completely switch gears. Eastlake coach Bud Peterson likes to give his top player the option of competing in singles or doubles in the postseason, and Bandeira is likely to pair with senior Aashray Anand at that point.

“I said, ‘You could play singles, but you might have more success playing doubles,’” Peterson said.

“KingCo is loaded with singles. I’m not saying Thiago can’t win but … it’s going to be a dogfight for the top two spots.”

Bandeira said he’s trying to provide a leadership example for his teammates after stepping into the

singles and could take over at No. 1 when Bandeira graduates in 2016.

Bandeira has also been

honing his skills lately by learning to attack an opponent’s weakness. Many times, he said, that means charging the net.

“I definitely learned how to think better,” he said. “Usually, I just play on the baseline, no matter what kind of guy I play. But now I can sort of recognize certain types of players and what I can do against them.”

Eastlake won all seven matches against Woodinville in straight sets. Bandeira’s victory was the closest singles contest as Varas beat Jeremiah Michel (6-1, 6-1), Anand beat Ryan McCurry (6-1, 6-1) and Anand Nambakam downed Tyler Burjeson (6-3, 6-1).

Varas’ older brother, Vicente, was a solid player for Eastlake a few years ago, and the ninthgrader has been given the good-natured nickname, “Clemente, almost as good as Vicente,” his coach said.

“He’s got a lot of passion

for the game,” Peterson said. “He’s a hard hitter.

He gives 100 percent every moment that he’s playing.

He chases every ball down — he’s sliding and skidding across the court.

“He hates to lose, and I see a lot of good things in him now, so I’m looking forward to the next three years following this one.

You don’t find freshmen with that talent too often.”

The Wolves’ doubles teams also swept their battles with Woodinville.

At No. 1, Kyle Loofburrow and Jeff Gross defeated Duncan Long and Ethan Tsai (6-1, 6-4).

Eastlake’s No. 2 team of Jerry Shen and Townsend Rowland beat Christian Brisbois and Jonathan McCuistion (6-3, 6-1).

And the No. 3 duo of Nick Nguyen and Ethan Hsuing downed Sage Tanaka and Drew Campton (6-4, 6-4).

Skyline soccer wins without one of its best players

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com

The Skyline Spartans have been without one of their top offensive players, and while they haven’t been playing their best soccer, they’ve found ways to win.

Lauren Carson scored the first two goals, and Ke’ala Louie added an insurance goal late in the second half as the visiting Spartans broke away for a 3-0 victory over the Redmond Mustangs Oct. 9 in a Class 4A KingCo Conference match.

In wins over Newport and Redmond last week, the Spartans had to find ways to compensate for the loss of senior forward Amanda Johnston, a University of Washington commit who was injured in a Sept. 30 match at Mount Si. Skyline (7-1-2 overall, 3-0-1 conference) had four different goal scorers in its 4-0 victory over Newport, and Carson, a senior midfielder, led the

“We all work super hard to try and get the best results. We know everyone is out here to win, so we all want to get that.”

— Ke’ala Louie Skyline soccer forward way against Redmond (2-6-1, 0-5-0) by notching goals in both halves.

“Amanda is obviously one of our strongest players,” Carson said. “She’s super fast and aggressive, and we definitely are missing her right now, but I think that the forwards we have are stepping up … and doing really well without her.”

With Johnston out, the Spartans rotated two sets of forwards against the Mustangs. Candace Hunter and Alexa Kirton started the match, with Marlaina Trahant and Gabby Hart replacing them at regular intervals.

Hunter nearly had the game’s opening goal in

the ninth minute, but was stopped on a diving save

by Redmond goalkeeper Kennedy Howell.

In the 28th minute, the Spartans’ midfield broke through. Lindsey Fujiwara took a throw along the left sideline, and after losing the ball briefly, won it back and found an unmarked Carson in front of the net.

Carson beat Howell with a well-placed header, giving Skyline a 1-0 lead.

“It was just a really nice goal, and easy for me to head because it was an awesome ball in,” Carson said.

Skyline outshot Redmond 10-3 in the first half, but was unable to add to its lead until midway through the second half.

Fujiwara again created trouble for the Mustangs with a free kick that skipped through the 18-yard box. A defender touched the ball with her hand, resulting in a penalty kick, which Carson calmly buried down the middle for a 2-0 lead in

the 54th minute.

“I normally try to take the PKs — I really like taking them,” said Carson, who also scored from the penalty spot in the

final moments as Skyline salvaged a 1-1 draw with Mount Si last month. “I’m pretty confident with them, I would say.”

Ten Eastside Catholic School students — six of them from Sammamish — have been named Commended Students in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Dino De Raad, Ian Dorney,

Preston Ewart, Matthew Iwicki, Brooks Meadowcroft and Joseph Meehan are the six local students from Eastside Catholic.

“We are all very proud of the accomplishments of these students,” Principal Polly Skinner said in a news release. “Each of them have shown outstanding dedication and focus for academic success.”

A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corp., which conducts the program, was presented to these academically talented seniors.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized.

Commended Students placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2014 competition by taking the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

week — glad we got that one,” Louie said of her run to the back post.

“For me, it’s a really big deal because I really want to contribute to the team, and I really think it’s a good opportunity for the players to come off the bench and score right away.”

After hosting Woodinville Oct. 14, a game played after press time, the Spartans play Bothell and Inglemoor before

traveling to Issaquah Oct. 23 for a match that could decide the KingCo regular-season title.

The Spartans are aware of Johnston’s absence, but they’re trying to not let it negatively impact their record.

“I think we’re all determined,” Louie said. “… We all put our best effort in. We all work super hard to try and get the best results. We know everyone is out here to win, so we all want to get that.”

Police blotter Driver chased, arrested An officer was stationed at the corner of 222nd Place Southeast and Southeast Fourth Street at about 11 p.m. Sept.

19 when a vehicle sped by.

The officer estimated the car was traveling at about 50 mph, well above the 25 mph limit. A chase ensued, with the officer finally catching the vehicle near 228th Avenue, where the driver turned into the oncoming lanes.

After eventually conducting a traffic stop another mile north, the officer smelled intoxicants coming from the vehicle. The male driver admitted he consumed three glasses of white

Police were dispatched to the corner of East Main Street and 244th Avenue East at about 2:20 p.m.

Sept. 22. A resident found several street light electrical boxes, located in the sidewalk, were missing covers. Police found wires were cut in each of the boxes. Puget Sound Energy was contacted.

An officer said similar events had been taking place in the area, and believed the wires were being cut to

possibly stage a theft.

Break-in while on vacation Police were called to a home in the 4200 block of East Lake Sammamish Shore Lane Southeast at about 10 a.m. Sept.

23. A man house-sitting for friends said he arrived that morning and found a window screen propped against the home’s exterior. He noticed a secondfloor window was open. A hallway motion detector had been activated at 1:20 a.m., and the suspect appears to have left the home after an alarm sounded.

The residents are on a two-month vacation aboard a cruise ship, and couldn’t be reached immediately. Police believe the suspect gained access by climbing onto a shed and then onto the home’s roof ledge.

Suspended driver nabbed An officer stationed in the 700 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast at about 4 p.m. Sept. 23 was randomly running license plate numbers of passing vehicles. He found a vehicle with expired tabs, conducted a traffic stop and learned the driver wasn’t carrying registration or insurance forms. After running the driver’s information

through his computer, the officer found an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended license due to a drunken-driving conviction. The vehicle also had no interlock ignition device, as required under sentence. The driver was arrested and the vehicle was impounded.

Unlocked vehicle entered Police went to a home in the 25800 block of Southeast 30th Street on Sept. 24 after residents reported one of their vehicles had been entered, and items stolen. During the night Sept.

19, the residents parked their vehicles in the driveway and left them unlocked. In the morning, the contents of one vehicle’s glove box and center console had been rummaged through.

An employer identification card and two checkbooks were missing. One of the residents said he informed police at the instruction of his employer, who wanted him to pay to get a new ID card.

School roof damaged Police were dispatched to Sunny Hills Elementary School on Sept. 24 after a maintenance worker discovered damage to the school’s roof. The worker See POLICE, Page 9

Drugs, pipe confiscated

From Page 8 was called to the school that day after ceiling tiles in the music room had fallen down. Water had seeped through the roof and saturated the tiles, causing them to collapse. When the worker went to the roof, he found a square had been cut out of the water barrier. He believed the damage could’ve been done anytime over the summer, since the last few days had seen the most significant rain in some time. An officer took photos of the scene, but was unable to tell if anyone had climbed onto the roof.

Police stopped a vehicle with expired tabs in the 700 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast at about 6:50 p.m. Sept. 24. An officer ran the driver’s information through his computer, and found he was driving with a suspended license.

As the vehicle was being impounded, the driver asked officers to retrieve some personal items in the trunk. While looking for the items, police found a multicolored box under the driver’s seat. It contained a glass pipe and a crystalline substance later determined to be methamphetamine.

The driver was arrested for driving with a suspended

license, and the drugs and paraphernalia were destroyed.

Bank card number used Police went to a home in the 2600 block of 200th Avenue Southeast on Sept.

25 after a resident reported someone had used his bank card to buy $92 worth of items from the PetSmart store in Issaquah. The man said he still had his bankcard, but believed someone used his card number to make the purchase. He gave police two names of potential suspects, one of which was a former caretaker who had previous access to the man’s personal information. He told

October 15, 2014 police the caretaker had stolen from him in the past, and the officer advised him to cancel his bank card.

Intervention goes awry Police were dispatched to a reported assault in progress in the 1800 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast at about 7:30 p.m. Sept. 26. A mental health specialist was at a home, performing an intervention, when the man he was trying to help became physically combative and pushed him out of the way.

He ran from the home on foot, without shoes on. Two other witnesses confirmed the story. No one wanted to press charges since the

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission recently released its 2014-15 winter schedule, with more than 60 parks remaining open seven days a week for camping and day-use activities.

Locally, the Lake Sammamish Sunset Beach parking area will be closed to vehicles through April.

The complete winter schedule is available online at www.parks. wa.gov/158/WinterSchedule. More than 60 parks will remain open seven days a week.

Police were called to an apartment complex in the 3000 block of 230th Lane Southeast on Sept. 26 regarding a theft report.

Between 4:30 p.m. Sept.

24 and 7:45 a.m. Sept.

26, someone took about 2,000 feet of siding — all in 12-foot and 16-foot lengths — from a locked, fenced area in the complex’s parking lot. A commercial contractor was storing the siding there while doing work on the property. The siding is valued at $2,000. Police said none of the residents in the complex reported seeing anything suspicious.
