Hospital board buys out superintendent’s contract By Dylan Chaffin dchaffin@snovalleystar.com An emotional evening for the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District Board of Commissioners ended with a vote to move ahead with a full buyout of Superintendent Rodger McCollum’s contract, which runs through early December.
Passing by a vote of 4-1, the agreement includes a 14-day “transition period” from the March 3 meeting for McCollum to sign the deal, write a resignation letter or move ahead with a lawsuit against the hospital district for unlawful termination. Under law, however, McCollum has 21 days to provide a response to the board.
Commissioner Gene Pollard was the only vote against the resolution. “I feel that both parties were at serious fault,” he told the other commissioners. He proposed a middle ground of mediation or arbitration to provide a better solution to what members of the community called “petty grievances” during public
comment. But Commissioner Emma Herron disagreed. “Any mediation or arbitration will only hurt the hospital,” she said. “If we wait another 10 or 12 months to replace that leadership position, who knows what will happen?” She later likened the hospital to a victim of kidnapping,
“now forced to pay the ransom.” In an opening statement, Commissioner David Speikers urged the public to understand that the board felt the decision to remove McCollum was best for the hospital district to continue to improve. “I would like to thank the See CONTRACT, Page 7

A Snoqualmie police officer with an extensive history of using excessive force has been suspended 20 days without pay for having an affair with another officer’s wife, according to documents obtained by The Seattle Times. The discipline comes after an internal investigation into the actions of Officer Nick Hogan, actions that also prompted a letter to the mayor and police chief, signed by 18 of the department’s 21 officers, calling for Hogan’s dismissal.

Campbell’s company was hired by the Washington State Patrol to run the academy’s reclaimed water treatment facility from 2009 to 2014. The company was responsible for monitoring and analyzing water samples for dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH balance, turbidity, flow,

ultraviolet dose and coliform bacteria — key readings during treatment of the 23,000 gallons of reclaimed water the facility produced each day. During an inspection in November 2014, the Department of Ecology found that Campbell had either included or omitted water quality data, making it “impossible for the state to tell if the plant was working well and whether the reclaimed water was safe to use,” the release said. Campbell is charged
with five counts of falsifying water data, classified as a gross misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail and/or a $10,000 fine. The company is charged with one count of conspiracy to create a false record and one count of filing a false record, a gross misdemeanor and a Class C felony, respectively. Both charges against the company carry a maximum penalty of up to 364 days in jail and/ or a $5,000 fine.
Snoqualmie Elementary School will soon have a new, donated solar powered system as part of the “Solarize Snoqualmie” initiative that began last year. As part of the initiative, the city and NW Wind and Solar agreed that the company would donate 1-kilowatt per 10 contracts signed for residential solar panel installation. To date, 38 households have signed up, meaning the proposed system is 3-kilowatts, but has the potential to expand to 4-kilowatts if two more contracts are signed by March 31, wrote Associate Planner Nicole Sanders in an email. A 4-kilowatt system would offset more than 104,000 pounds of carbon dioxide during its first 25 years of operation, according to a city press release. “We appreciate the solar power system donation and look for-

The owner of a Shelton-based environmental company is facing criminal charges in King County Superior Court for falsifying water-quality data and potentially putting firefighters training at the Washington State Fire Training Academy in North Bend in danger, according to a press release from the attorney general. George Campbell and his company, Broadband Environmental Service Inc., are facing seven misdemeanor and felony charges based on evidence that the company filed 177 false reports on water quality to the state Department of Ecology between 2012 and 2014. Among the charges, Campbell is accused of allowing the distribution of reclaimed water that didn’t meet state quality standards to the fire training academy, which may have led to contaminated water being sprayed directly on firefighters, structures and surrounding land, the press release said. “Clean water is vital
ward to it providing an educational opportunity for students to learn more about solar energy options. In addition, we welcome any savings in operating costs associated with power that the system may provide our school,” said Kerstin Kramer, Snoqualmie Elementary School principal in the release. SES was chosen for the upgrades by school district Superintendent Joel Aune and staff, Sanders said. Participants in the Solarize Snoqualmie campaign save 5 to 10 percent compared to buying solar independently and can earn back 35 percent of their investment in the first year, the press release said. The program is a group purchase, or “bulk buy” making solar power for homes more affordable.

State needs to catch up with popularity in lacrosse In 1973, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association added soccer to its list of sanctioned school sports. Imagine all the matches played since then and the tradition of youth soccer in Washington and the rest of the country. Now imagine if that never happened and soccer was relegated to a private club sport instead of one that athletes play while proudly displaying their high school colors. That’s what’s happening right now, but it’s not soccer being left out, it’s lacrosse. Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in America and it’s time to let it into the schools. For decades, lacrosse was a highly regional sport, found only in the Northeast. But it has since exploded on the West
Coast, and now there are club teams in King County that deserve to be represented. Sam In fact, Kenyon the Pacific Northwest is an area with especially high lacrosse growth. The Issaquah Lacrosse Club started the push for lacrosse in the area east of Seattle, and from that club sprung many others like it, including the Mount Si lacrosse club, now in its seventh season. It’s time for the WIAA to recognize lacrosse and bring it into the fold as the newest spring sport in which high schools can compete. There is no reason why high school
athletes shouldn’t be able to get their letter in lacrosse. In fact, the local club teams like the Mount Si lacrosse club are already aligning themselves with the various local high schools in anticipation of becoming a sanctioned sport. According to the Washington chapter of U.S. Lacrosse, there are 4,000 youth athletes playing lacrosse in this state. But in 2011, the WIAA voted not to sanction the sport. The reasons against sanctioning lacrosse have some limited logic to them, but I don’t find them convincing. The first concern is logistical: Is there enough field space? Can schools afford the equipment? The second concern is far weaker:

Lacrosse might cannibalize other spring sports. I respect the logistical concerns, even if I disagree with them. First, in terms of field space, the teams are already in existence. They have clearly already found adequate field space and they did it on their own, without any help from the school system. That argument also applies to the cost of equipment. Clearly the athletes and teams have found a way to self-finance, because they are playing right now. I argue the fact that they found funding and field time in an environment where the WIAA says there isn’t enough of either proves they deserve a chance. By the way, that’s all this would be, a chance. If the WIAA allowed lacrosse,
it wouldn’t compel schools to create teams if there wasn’t enough interest. It would simply allow them to create a lacrosse team if there was. As to the second argument against lacrosse, that it will cannibalize other spring sports, I find this a disappointing line of reasoning by the WIAA. If a sport is cannibalized by another sport, doesn’t that mean that it should have been? Why is the WIAA forcing certain spring sports when, if given the chance, the athletes would rather play something else? Why does the WIAA get to decide what spring sports are worthy? That decision should be up to the players on the field. Lacrosse is already huge. It’s time for the WIAA to simply catch up to reality.

Affair From Page 1 Department in 2013 after being fired from Tukwila following a pair of excessive-force lawsuits that cost that city more than $425,000 in settlements and attorneys’ fees. According to documents obtained through the state Public Records Act, Hogan was disciplined in late January for having an “extramarital relationship” with the wife of another patrolman. After his unpaid time off, he was scheduled to return to his job on March 10. The woman was a department volunteer at the time, and an investigation conducted by Seattle lawyer Rebecca Dean found that the relationship was consensual, according to the documents. The pair “sexted” each other, according to documents. The couple acknowl-
edged they hugged and kissed; however, the woman said the relationship went no further, and Dean concluded there was no evidence of other sexual contact. Hogan told Dean the woman performed a sex act on him once, according to the investigation. The investigation showed the couple met at least 10 times while Hogan was on duty. The relationship cooled in late 2014 after Hogan had an affair with another woman who was not affiliated with the Police Department, the investigation concluded. At the same time, according to Dean’s investigation, Hogan’s commanding officer said other officers in the department began to cool toward Hogan “based upon their personal morals and concluded that they could not trust him.” At a meeting of patrol officers to “thrash out” differences, the only officer who came to
Hogan’s defense was the officer whose wife Hogan had been seeing. That officer was unaware of the relationship at the time, according to the investigation. Hogan was placed on leave in October when the investigation was launched. Hogan, in a response to the disciplinary decision written by his attorney, said the city was punishing him for his private life and over media accounts of his troubles in Tukwila. Besides being named in the two civil-rights lawsuits while working in Tukwila, Hogan was the subject of complaints from fellow officers there that he was overly aggressive, particularly toward people who were inebriated or of color. Research by plaintiffs’ attorneys indicated that Hogan had used force more often than any other officer on the Tukwila force, including incidents where he used knee strikes against a hand-
cuffed suspect in the rear of his patrol car, had broken the arm of a man while using an unauthorized takedown technique, and broke the leg of another in a scuffle at a party that turned into a melee, mostly due to Hogan’s aggressive actions, according to reports. All of those individuals were black. The lawyers’ research showed that of 20 incidents where Hogan used force capable of causing serious injuries, 19 of the individuals he targeted were ethnic minorities. Tukwila police also learned that Hogan had an apparent affiliation with the “Straight Edge” movement, whose members eschew alcohol and drugs and have used violence against those who imbibe. Hogan bore several Straight Edge tattoos and had posted a poem celebrating police violence on his Xbox page, according to more than 1,000 pages of disciplinary records obtained
PAGE 5 from the Tukwila Police Department. Snoqualmie has defended its decision to hire Hogan, and Mayor Matt Larson and Chief Steven McCulley stated last July that there had been no serious complaints about his performance. In December, after Dean’s investigation was completed, a letter signed by 18 of the city’s 21 sworn officers complained about the decision to hire Hogan and its impact on the department. The letter also disputed the city’s contention that he had been doing a good job. “When Officer Hogan came to work with the department for his initial field training, some Officers found him difficult to train, abrasive with citizens, discourteous to fellow officers, routinely disregarded case law, and generally a liability to the city. “We expressed these concerns to management and were ignored and told to allow him
to continue,” the letter said. Once on his own, the letter said, Hogan was “heavy handed, disrespectful and inappropriate to members of the public” and his fellow officers. McCulley, the chief, acknowledged the existence of the letter. Bob Sterbank, the city’s attorney, pointed out that it was dated in December, after his fellow officers learned of Hogan’s relationship with a fellow officer’s wife. He said he was unaware of any officers complaining about Hogan’s actions before that. In a Jan. 29 notice of discipline imposing the 20-day suspension, Larson concluded Hogan had demonstrated conduct unbecoming an officer and said he “demonstrated a lack of basic tact and common sense, as well as exceedingly poor judgment. “I find your actions reprehensible and inexcusable,” he wrote.

I hope the community will back whatever decision we make today.” But comments made were heavily in favor of the superintendent, who was present but not active during the meeting. Andy Corbett, a hospital employee, was among them. “I know Rodger cares for the hospital and the community, and looking at the board, it seems to me that most of the board prefer the hospital had never been built.” Another woman questioned the integrity of the commissioners. “If we break this contract, what stops you from

breaking other contracts made on behalf of the district?” Norris later addressed this comment, saying that the board is not “bailing on the contract.” She also spoke to a petition with dozens of signatures to retain McCollum, which was presented by Snoqualmie Valley Hospital physician Dr. Elisa Chan. Norris said that while the superintendent had been known for his visionary skills, “it would appear that there is a need for a new set of management skills to move the hospital district forward.” Even though the severance agreement does not provide cause for termination, Speikers read aloud a letter that listed several offenses, including using hospital funds for personal use, failing to attend finance committee meetings, failing to provide an adequate presentation for how the hospital would cope with moving away from its critical care access status and providing false comments to the media in recent news stories about the financial status of the hospital. A new budget will be
available in May after weighing the options between continuing to pay on the hospital’s front-end loans or different leasing options, Speikers added. Sixty-seven percent of the budget is currently tied up in Medicaid, Medicare and no-pay services, which while typical of critical care access hospitals, is costing the district significant amounts of money because of lower reimbursement. Shortly after the decision, board members voted unanimously to replace McCollum with hospital Chief Operating Officer Tom Parker, who has served since 2010. “His qualifications and expertise, as well as his familiarity with the operations of the hospital and staff, make him an excellent candidate for the interim CEO,” Norris said. “We are in a crucial time where healthcare is seeing significant advancements. I am confident that Tom is up to the task of leading the District.” Parker has worked in hospitals since he was 16 years old, beginning as a surgical orderly at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City.

Armed with piano, guitar, bass and even kitchen utensils, they’re serving up a night of fun and good
times in this show that received rave reviews both on and off Broadway, along with a Tony nomination for best musical.

Wildcats boys soccer enters rebuilding year Almost entirely new squad looks to new leadership core By Sam Kenyon skenyon@snovalleystar.com It’s a whole new season for the Mount Si boys soccer team — in more ways than one. The team, which just finished up its first week of practice, lost 12 seniors to graduation, many of whom had played together for more than a decade on high school and club teams. “This is a new squad from last year,” Wildcats coach Darren Brown said. “Last year, we had a lot of experience. This year, it’s almost entirely a new squad.” It’s still too early in the season for Brown to know exactly what his team will be in terms of strengths and weaknesses. But some trends are emerging already. “We don’t quite know how we jell as a team,” said Reid Howland, a senior captain and attacking midfielder. But Howland is confident that one of the team’s biggest strengths is its literal strength. “I can no doubt about it say that we’re the fittest team in the league,” he said. There are six seniors on the squad: Howland and fellow captains Jimmy Jacobson (midfield) and Ethan Duvall (defense). The other seniors are midfielders Henry Mitchell, Oliver Eriksen and Matt Diloreto. “There’s a lot of excitement in the air,” Brown said of his new team. “We’re going to make some noise this year.” Of the 28 goals that the team scored last season, 26 were scored by players who have graduated. With only two See SOCCER, Page 11

Mount Si looks to bounce back from first year in 4A By Sam Kenyon skenyon@snovalleystar.com The Mount Si baseball team is still forming into shape as it works through practices before the season officially begins. The Wildcats have six seniors and a large class of juniors and sophomores to work with. “It’s wide open right now,” said head coach Zach Habben. “Guys are competing for positions
and figuring out where everyone is going to be in the lineup.” The team has had a little more than a week’s worth of practices, and its first jamboree was on March 9, the results of which weren’t available at press time. The team’s first official game will be March 16 at Peninsula High School at 4 p.m. Last year was a harsh adjustment for
the Wildcat baseball team. In Mount Si’s first season upgrading to KingCo’s 4A conference from the 3A conference, the Wildcats spent most of the season adjusting to the higher level of competition. Combine that with the loss of a large core group of seniors from the previous season, and the team’s 3-17 record might not be a surprise. However, that mark is a
bit deceptive. “Last year we lost nine one-run games,” Habben said. “We were in it with everybody.” This year, the Wildcats will look to get over that hump with increased scoring, but right now it’s too early to say where their hitting strength will come from. Habben said he expects two of his senior players will step up and
lead the team: pitcher Alden Huschle and Reid Lutz, who will split time between first base and catcher. “Both show leadership with the team and the way they play,” Habben said. “They have good leadership personalities.” Huschle, who lost last season to injury, is back after working hard to get his arm correct. “I’ve been working
hard in the offseason and I’m feeling ready for this season,” he said. His pitching style is straightforward, but he can still get tricky if he needs to. “If I can pound the strike zone with my fastball and they can’t catch up with it, that’s fine with me,” he said. “But I can also incorporate my curveball and changeup See BASEBALL, Page 11

“Guys put some work in in the winter and hopefully it will translate to the games,” Habben said. He expects that during the season both Woodinville and Bothell will be the strongest competitors in the league. But he also said that doesn’t mean the other teams will be pushovers. In KingCo 4A, every win has to be
fought for. But Huschle is feeling confident and he likes the look of the team early on. From the batting cage to the team workouts, he feels they are disciplined and in good physical condition. He said that it might be the best he’s seen this early from his years at Mount Si. “I think the team’s looking really good,” Huschle said.

From Page 10 goals returning this year, Brown said the offense will have to figure itself out and that will be one of the primary challenges of the early season. But he’s not worried and, if anything, Brown is optimistic. He said the team really gets along well together and he has high expectations. “It’s a hard-working group,” he said. “I haven’t seen a class like this work this hard early on in training in a while, so that’s a good sign.” Brown expects
that Woodinville and Issaquah will be the strongest teams in the Class 4A KingCo Conference. But he isn’t especially worried about them because the whole league is tough. “In KingCo 4A, you can’t sleep on any teams,” he said. Last season, the Wildcats didn’t lose a single match to a conference opponent and their overall record was 9-14. The fantastic regular season ended in a bit of letdown when they lost the KingCo title to Inglemoor and were bounced out of the postseason by Skyline. Howland and the rest of the seniors were there

last year when they had had to say goodbye to their big senior corps. But the team belongs to them now, and they are excited at the prospect. “It’s definitely cool to take the reins,” Howland said of the varsity team he’s played on for four years. “It’s worthwhile seeing where I came from on this team.” Like Brown, Howland is optimistic about how this season’s team can perform. Mount Si’s opening match is at 5 p.m. March 11, a home game against Evergreen of Vancouver. “I think we stack up,” he said. “It just comes down to how much we want it.”
