Beloved teacher, coach Belcher bids Eastlake High a final fond farewell By Neil Pierson

Rich Belcher’s oldest son, Mitchell, estimates his father has interacted with more than 21,000 students during his 41-year career as a teacher and coach. Belcher stopped coaching high-school boys basketball seven years ago, compiling 414 wins during stops at two California schools and two more in Washington – Newport and Eastlake. He was inducted into the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame in 2011, and took Eastlake to the state tournament three times in nine seasons. In June, the 64-year-old Belcher walked away from teaching, something he’s been doing at Eastlake since 1999.

Rich Belcher Over the course of four decades as a teacher in Washington and California, he said, imparting life-long skills like critical thinking and work ethic have been at the heart of his life.

Whether Belcher was giving instruction in literature, U.S. history, government or sports, getting teenagers to voice their opinions in a constructive manner was vital to him. “Whether or not they’re going to remember a date from the Civil War is not nearly as important as who they are as people,” Belcher said June 24 while sitting down to lunch at one of his favorite nooks, the Raging River Café in Fall City. In Belcher’s humanities courses at Eastlake, students wrote in daily journals about a wide array of topics. On the first day of class, he liked to tell them he cared less about what they thought, and more about why they’d formed their See BELCHER, page 3

Issaquah and Sammamish had the meeting equivalent of a group hug July 14. After a year where the two city’s leadership have found themselves on different sides of several issues, both city councils and other city administrative staff met in Issaquah’s City Hall to discuss points of mutual interest. It was their first joint meeting since 2011. “We all have one thing in common,” Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler said. “We certainly love our cities and we love representing them. We not only care about our communities, we care about the region as well.” He wanted to extend that appreciation across the northern border of Issaquah and so went around the room, asking each elected official what they enjoyed about the other city. The tone of the meeting was a far cry from last November, when Eastside Fire & Rescue firefighter’s union offered to pay for a mediator to help the two cities settle differences. Attendees kept the meeting positive and gave little mention to topics that had previously seen them on opposing sides, such as the Klahanie-area annexation vote or Sammamish’s investigation into leaving EFR. Instead, discussion surrounded the possibility of jointly lobbying the state legislature and exploring solutions to the growing transportation problems on Interstate 90. Butler presented Issaquah’s most recent legislative agenda, which included support for maintaining state revenue sharing and restoration of liquor revenues, but it mostly centered on I-90 improvements. He laid out why

most items could benefit both cities and Sammamish officials agreed. “I completely agree — strength in numbers,” Sammamish City Councilman Tom Odell said. He and all other vocal Sammamish leadership said most of Issaquah’s agenda overlapped with the plateau’s. “We will help any way we can,” longtime Sammamish City Councilman Don Gerend said. “Supporting a statewide comprehensive transportation package is the right thing to do.” Butler also highlighted Issaquah-specific transportation projects, a Front Street interchange overhaul and a possible 11th/12th Avenue overcrossing, which would require a report costing about $2 million before anyone could move dirt. “I would say those sound like good projects from my point of view,” Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance said. “I would throw in the See MEETING, page 3

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Parking lot for Sammamish Landing comes in over estimate Council approves $2.07 million to build 35-stall lot By Ari Cetron

Sammamish’s wildly popular beachfront park will be getting a parking lot, but it’s going to cost nearly half a million dollars more than expected. On July 15, the Sammamish City Council voted 6-1 to award a contract to build a parking lot and pedestrian crossing at Sammamish Landing Park. Councilman Ramiro Valderrama was opposed. Sammamish Landing is the only public access to Lake Sammamish within the city limits. The long, narrow park runs between East Lake Sammamish Parkway and the lake along the northern edge of the city. Sammamish also owns land on the other side of the parkway, where the parking lot will go. The park has been popular since it opened, but has not had a dedicated parking lot. Instead, people

Land sale To help fund the parking lot, the city will sell three plots of land it owns nearby. The city purchased them in 2007 for $700,000. At the time, they included two bits of waterfront property, which are now undeveloped lands adjacent to the park. These waterfront properties have been separated and will be retained by the city. There are still three upland parcels on the east side of East Lake Sammamish Parkway. City have parked along the parkway, or on 187th Avenue in Redmond. Last year, however, Redmond re-striped 187th to allow for bike lanes, effectively removing about 35 parking spots. In response, Sammamish has done work along the shoulders of the parkway to allow for safer parking there. And its council has now authorized construction of a new parking lot specifically for the park. The city had estimated the 35-space lot would end up costing

GILMAN VILLAGE

Manager Ben Yazici said the city evaluated the parcels, and determined they can’t be used. At its July 15 meeting, the City Council voted unanimously to declare the land as surplus and put it up for sale. The city estimates it will receive about $800,000 for the land. That number, however, will change based on what sort of offers the city receives on the real-estate market, and will be reduced through things like broker fees and taxes. The net proceeds will go toward construction of the parking lot. about $1.56 million. However, as City Manager Ben Yazici pointed out, contractors are busy and costs are going up. As a result, the lot will cost $2.07 million. The city expects to pay for it from the sale of nearby land (see sidebar) combined with King County Parks funds from a 2007 levy, supplemented with money from the city’s parks department budget. Valderrama recognized the need See PARKING, page 3

Police: Never leave pets, kids in hot cars By Peter Clark

What should concerned citizens do if they see a child or pet in a hot car? Issaquah police would like concerned citizens to call them. “They should call 911 if it’s a child and ask for the police,” Issaquah Police Cmdr. Stan Conrad said. If someone sees a pet in a car, he or she should also call the police, but use the non-emergency line, 837-3200. Last year, a local man was arrested for leaving his 3-month-old son in a car while shopping at an Issaquah grocery store and charged with seconddegree child abandonment. Conrad said cases like that should never happen in the first place. “The first thing I’ll say is that people shouldn’t leave their dogs or their child in a car — period,” he said. “Either with a

pet or a child, you’re looking at a potential charge.” Conrad said police procedure involves visually sizing up the situation. If an officer determines he or she should enter a vehicle, they will find a way. “We’ll go out there and see if we can find the owner of the car,” he said. “But we may have to call animal control or open the car ourselves. The last resort is to break in the vehicle.” Eastside Fire & Rescue Deputy Chief of Operations Greg Tryon agreed that if residents see a child or pet in a hot car, they should call the police. “We’ll respond to the calls when we’re contacted, but the best thing to do would be to call the police,” Tryon said. “Either way, that’s what we’re going to do.

Belcher Continued from page 1 thoughts in the first place. “Any time someone says, ‘I don’t know,’ or they use the word ‘because,’ that’s not going to fly here in my class,” Belcher said. “Many times things aren’t all black or white either. Understand there’s a gray (area).” Eastlake athletics director Pat Bangasser, who succeeded Belcher as the school’s boys basketball coach in 2007, said Belcher was a master tactician, but his success also relied heavily on building a positive atmosphere. “Rich did a great job developing relationships with young men and women in his coaching, and we can all learn from that,” Bangasser said. “His basketball program was always like family, and kids loved playing for him.” Belcher went far beyond working with his varsity players; he developed a

That’s an expensive fix, too.” Though attendees gave no specifics, they pledged to attempt a joint effort during next year’s legislative session on items of mutual interest. Issaquah council members also took the opportunity to reach out and suggest other issues that could concern both cities. “We see hard drugs,

year-round program at Eastlake through his work with AAU and select basketball, as well as a series of summer camps that routinely drew 100 players per week, Bangasser said. “He was a really good mentor to a lot of coaches in the league,” Bangasser said. “They wanted to know how to start and maintain a successful program.” Jason Griffith, who played at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, first got to know Belcher when the latter was coaching rival Newport. Several years later, Griffith assisted Belcher during the 1998-99 season – Belcher’s first at Eastlake, when they led the Wolves to a sixth-place finish at state. Belcher has been married to his wife, Jill, for 32 years. They have two sons, Brian and Mitchell, and were prepared to welcome their first grandchild into the world in early July. Belcher’s attitude as a husband and father made a distinct impression on

Griffith, who now juggles the challenge of raising four children while serving as the head of Issaquah High’s boys basketball program. “He gets how important that is to put time into your wife and your kids, because it can overtake you being a coach,” Griffith said. Griffith and Belcher exchange emails on a regular basis, and often meet up for breakfast with mutual friend Steve Helm, a former head coach at Mount Si High. Belcher’s ability to not treat his players differently than other students is something he prides himself on. And Griffith recalls being at several Eastlake practices where the players weren’t talking about basketball, but about what happened in Belcher’s class that day. “To me, that’s what it’s all about,” Griffith said. “I don’t think coaches should necessarily be depending on wins and losses. Unfortunately, a lot of the

particularly heroin as a real scourge,” Issaquah City Councilman Tola Marts said. “I’m hoping that down the road our two cities could work together because it’s just the scariest thing that’s come around in quite a while.” Issaquah City Councilman Joshua Schaer spoke towards sustainability stewardship. “I want to make a pitch about being environment leaders on the Eastside,” he said, mentioning his council’s passing ordinance on compostable packaging and banning plastic bags. “We’ve really

taken a stance. I would really encourage the city of Sammamish to work with us and it’s something your city might want to take a look at.” At the end of the meeting, the only decision made was that leadership for the two cities should meet more often. “It’s been a few years since we’ve gotten together,” Butler said. “There was a time when we didn’t really think we had much to talk about. I hope this becomes an annual affair whether we have a lot to talk about or not.”

July 30, 2014 recognition comes that way, but your goal should be creating memories and impacting kids for the long term.” Brian Dailey, who coached Eastlake for four seasons from 201014, might be the person with the longest connection to Belcher’s career in Sammamish. Dailey began playing for him as a seventh-grader and was the starting point guard on the Wolves’ 2000-01 state team. Dailey remembers Belcher’s ability to meld his players into a family, and how his “unprecedented preparation” created a consistent environment. “He had a program and he transitioned his players into it,” Dailey said. “We were running the same plays as a seventh-grader as we were as a senior. And it worked.” In games, Dailey said, the Wolves might be pressing or playing a zone defense, and the opposing team would call timeout to deal with it. In Eastlake’s

He also noted the city will soon have a big – and not yet known – expense for repairing Snake Hill Road, and he would rather wait to find out that cost before committing to the parking lot. Yazici pointed out

huddle, Belcher would promptly anticipate that, and change the defensive scheme again. “It was like a chess match,” Dailey said. Belcher said he doesn’t have a “master plan” for his retirement years, but is looking to spend more time with family, and is even considering writing a book about the knowledge he’s gleaned from teaching and coaching. In summing up his educational philosophy, Belcher recalls attending a coaching clinic many years ago where Bobby Knight was the guest speaker. Knight – an infamous hothead who won an Olympic gold medal and three NCAA titles – told the audience he didn’t care whether players liked him. Belcher vehemently disagreed. In game situations, a tough opponent, verbally abusive fans and even poor officiating can conspire to overwhelm high-school players. They need friends, Belcher said. “The last thing I ever

want is for my kids to look at me and think that I’m their enemy,” he said. “I want them to think of me as their buddy, and the same is true of my classroom. “…I want them to feel that we’re in this thing together. So whether I’m talking about Shakespeare or I’m talking about a halfcourt trap, I want them to say, ‘You know what, I believe in this.’” He’s received hundreds of emails since announcing his retirement. One came from a well-known graduate of Rolling Hills (Calif.) High, Belcher’s first school. “You were my first high school coach, and my best,” wrote Jay Bilas, an All-American at Rolling Hills who starred at Duke University and is now a college basketball analyst for ESPN. “I learned to compete and do it with good humor and an even temper. You were always demanding, but never demeaning, a trait that precious few coaches have.”

that Redmond already donated part of the land on which the park is built. He also noted it was a slippery slope since Sammamish residents routinely use parks and other facilities in neighboring cities. “I know our kids play on their fields,” Yazici said. The funding will pay for more than just the parking lot. There will also be a pedestrian crossing, including an island halfway across the parkway, to allow people to cross the

street more safely. City Engineer Jeff Brauns explained there will also be new electronic signs posted on the roadway on both sides of the park to keep drivers alert. Construction on the lot should begin within the next few weeks. Philpot said the contract forbids working on the west side of the area, nearest the beach, until after Labor Day. As a result, it won’t be completed until the fall or possibly in early 2015, depending on weather conditions.

Sammamish Forum

Please don’t feed the bears, ever

Evergreen CEO raise is too much

“A fed bear is a dead bear.” Those were true words from an expert who spoke to The Issaquah Press several years ago about the bears people were reporting in their yards and trashcans in the Sammamish area. They are still true now. We have built our homes and businesses in their yards, and we are going to come into contact with wildlife. We are the stewards of this land, and we have a responsibility to keep those animals (along with our neighbors) safe. That means letting animals be when we encounter them. Don’t hassle them. Don’t try to pet them. Don’t feed them. Bears regularly prowl through the city and are sighted annually on school grounds throughout the Sammamish. In May 2011, a surprised woman found one in her garage near the Sammamish Family YMCA. Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife officers recently learned about a woman off Issaquah-Hobart Road who was feeding bears 5-gallon buckets of birdseed. The woman thought she was helping the between six and 10 bears that have been seen on the property, but she was actually hurting them – not to mention likely scaring residents with a parade of bears in the neighborhood. When bears learn they can get food from a source other then in the wild, they become habituated. Not only is that bad for people, because the bears will keep coming back for more, but it’s also bad for the majestic animals. Once they become a problem (habituated and reported to officials regularly), bears have to be captured and moved. It isn’t always safe, for the people or the bears. Officers have to guess at the weight of a bear to tranquilize it, and like a medical procedures, things can go wrong. The tranquilized bear is then taken to a mountainous area. The bear, which has become accustomed to eating at backyard birdfeeders, suddenly has to remember how to hunt and forage on its own, on top of competing with bears already in the area. Let the wild animals stay wild. Don’t feed the bears.

Poll of the week

Does it matter it you feed the bears? A) Of course you shouldn’t. I can’t even believe we have to have this conversation. B) It’s not a big deal and probably keeps the vermin population down. To vote, visit www.SammamishReview.com.

I was angered and disheartened to see that nothing has changed since I left my job as a diet clerk at Evergreen Hospital four years ago. They still strip the support staff to the bone, give them the blame when patients complain, and then to add insult to injury, give them just a penny more per the precious few dollars they earn. The excuse is always the same. There’s never enough money in the budget, except when it comes to the CEO. I was once asked by a patient how much money my smile was costing him. I’m sure it would have shocked him to know how little it did compared to a guy he never saw who was undoubtedly smiling all the way to the bank. I wish somebody on the hospital’s board of directors would have the courage to say enough is enough. When will the outrageous upward spiral of CEO compensation end? As someone who lives in the hospital district, why am I being forced to pay into this ridiculous situation? I don’t think this is what they had in mind when they created the district in the first place. Wake up to reality, Evergreen. Show your support staff that you value them, so that you will stop losing your best and most experienced employees. They want to provide the best care that your patients deserve. Show us that you respect your employees, and in turn, your patients. Lisa Christison Sammamish

Mayor goes too far Warwick Holder’s letter in the July 23 Sammamish Review about Mayor Tom Vance’s “power trip” is nothing new to those of us who have worked with Vance. I served on the Planning Commission with him when he was chairman in 2009. Vance routinely failed to reach out to commissioners, failed to build consensus, failed to keep us informed and failed to build a cohesive unit. The commission, by the end of

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

2009, was so dysfunctional that we couldn’t agree on reappointing Vance as chairman for 2010, and this decision had to be put over to a time when new members who didn’t have the history were appointed. One commissioner submitted his resignation over the dysfunction, only to be talked out of going through with it by staff. Vance was elected to the council three years ago, having faced an opponent who was so bad that this was truly “the best bad choice” that could be made. Vance immediately wanted to become mayor, or failing that, deputy mayor, an arrogant goal. Vance’s term extends to 2015. Let’s hope that will be all. Scott Hamilton Sammamish

Support for Hill In the race for 45th District senator, the best decision for voters is to re-elect Andy Hill. State Sen. Andy Hill stands for education. He led the crafting of a budget that put $1 billion into public education – the most in recent history -- without raising taxes. Furthermore, this budget also held the line on in-state college tuition for the first time in 30 years. Our students – our future – need this kind of leadership. Those who claim that bipartisanship is dead should know that Hill’s budget passed both houses with 89 percent of the vote in each chamber. It was because of this budget that Hill received endorsements from both Stand for Children and the League of Education Voters – organizations that might not otherwise be expected to support Republican candidates. Hill crafted with Gov. Jay Inslee and State Auditor Troy Kelley the Vulnerable Individuals Priority (VIP) Act. This proposal ensures adequate funding into DSHS so that individuals with developmental disabilities can receive the help they need. This is a much-needed assistance to more than 4,000 individuals that need at-home care, and more than 1,000 individuals that need assistance

He has a few talking points, though no experience to back them up. His campaign tactic has been to throw mud at Hill, which is a disconcerting turnabout for a former registered Republican who opportunistically changed parties to run in this election.

GOP has lost its way I note that the latest “hit” piece on the 45th District state senate race in effect says political candidates who may, in the past, have identified with the “mainstream” Republicans, have, since the “crazies” took over that party, found that to work for responsible, common sense politics, they should join the Democrats. True enough. Carl Schwartz Sammamish

Sammamish teen completes the ride of his life for charity By Neil Pierson

Amol Garg is an unusually motivated 14-year-old, and his inner fire fueled another noteworthy accomplishment this summer. Garg, who will be a Skyline High School freshman in September, has been actively involved around Sammamish for years. He volunteers with a youth-centered charity that uses arts and crafts projects as inspiration, has achieved the rank of Life Scout with Troop 677, and founded a Toastmasters-type club to help fellow children improve their public-speaking and leadership skills. Amol’s father, Vijay Garg, completed his first marathon last year, and it sparked something in his son. “It was one of his big dreams, and after seeing him completing his mara-

thon and his dream, I kind of started to think, ‘What’s my dream?’ and ‘What’s something big that I can do?’” Amol said. Vijay floated the idea of entering the 200-mile Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic, or STP, and Amol quickly latched on, despite the fact that he’d never ridden more than 15 miles before. The STP quickly became more than a personal quest for the Gargs. They wanted to use the event to promote a bigger cause, and they found it in Asha for Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping underprivileged children in India. They set a fundraising goal of $750, and with the help of family and friends, collected $1,160. Amol said he was inspired by a well-known Chinese proverb: “Give a

man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.” “In my opinion, to end world poverty and to break the cycle of poverty, one needs to be self-sustaining,” Amol said. “… And in my opinion, that can be done throughout education, so the person can get a job later and pursue what he wants.” Starting in March, father and son began training for the STP with other members of Team Asha Seattle. Their first ride was a simple 15-miler along the Sammamish River Trail. The distances steadily grew longer, and by the time the July 12-13 STP arrived, Amol was well-prepared, having completed three “century rides” of at least 100 miles. As fate would have it, the STP would provide

When the riders left Seattle at about 4:45 a.m., temperatures were mild. But after hitting the halfway mark in Centralia, Amol said, the heat became oppressive, reaching near 100 degrees.

on the road. It got worse. At about the 120-mile mark, Amol rode through some sprinklers to cool off, and his wet wheels skidded as he attempted to avoid a curb and a vehicle. He fell onto his right side, tearing up his knee, and he put a big dent in his helmet. “I know for sure if I

hadn’t been wearing a helmet that I would’ve gotten a concussion,” he said. Amol was quickly patched up, thanks to some nearby paramedics. But with more than 80 miles left to cover on the second day of the STP, questions started to enter his See STP, Page 6

Rajan is a star student at Skyline, and his major interest is biology.

He was accepted into a seven-week apprenticeship program through the Institute for Educational Advancement, and is working in a laboratory at the University of Southern California. IEA apprenticeships are designed to link gifted high-school students with professional mentors in the Los Angeles area. Students who are selected typically come from “diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds,” an IEA news release stated.

More than 600 highschool students nationwide have participated in the apprenticeship program, which features several study areas like law, music, media relations, industrial design and cancer research. IEA’s seven-week IEA program costs $7,000, although financial aid is available to qualified individuals. Students receive housing at USC, and tuition costs also pay for course materials, guest lectures, and evening and weekend activities outside the classroom. Rajan said he found out about IEA from his parents and a counselor. See RAJAN, Page 6

In its latest event, the July 4 Summer Splash, 3C raised $3,000 for the foundation as hundreds of people created a colorful canvas with splashes of paint. Amol shows uncommon discipline and determination to achieve his goals, his father said. “It seems like he has a purpose in his life,” Vijay said. “One of the things that he has always said to me is that he wants to make a positive difference in the world.”

He applied for several of his favorite programs and learned in mid-May he was accepted into a lab that studies shockwaves and their applications in sports science. Dr. Veronica Eliasson, a USC professor, and other researchers are using shockwaves in water-filled cavities that simulate conditions inside the brain. Much of Eliasson’s previous work has dealt with concussions and traumatic brain injuries among football players. Working in the lab, the scientists use high-speed photography to detail the impact of the shockwaves upon different structures. Rajan began the apprenticeship in late June, and will be at USC until Aug. 9. His day usually starts early – a 7 a.m. wake-up call, followed by breakfast and time to get clean and dressed. He’s typically in the lab from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For the first two weeks, Rajan said, he served as an assistant to a USC doctoral candidate, helping him with a research project and a thesis paper. That experience allowed Rajan to begin forming his own thoughts, and he later met with

Eliasson to discuss ideas for his own thesis and project. Rajan has spent a lot of time learning about glutamate receptors. Glutamic acid serves as a neurotransmitter, and plays a key role in how people learn and retain information. The doctoral candidate he worked with constructed a device to simulate traumatic brain injuries. When receptors become impacted through blunt force, the brain can become overwhelmed. Diseases such as epilepsy are common results. “There’s too many messages being sent back and forth between neurons,” Rajan explained. His interest in biology has served him well as a research apprentice. “But the overall project was actually more physicsbased, and I didn’t have very much experience in physics HRX217HYA coming in,” Rajan said. “That MSRPmy $799 was probably biggest * challenge coming in the first week, learning how the device worked.” Rajan said he’s looking forYEAR + YEAR REGULAR 5where 1 EXTENDED ward to his senior year, he’ll again be working with HRX217HY Manufacturer’s Warranty!† $79 MSRP one of his favorite mentors – May Through 31 Skyline biology teacher Gretel von Bargen. “She helped me bridge that • gap between the classroom, the Mulch, textbooks … and how it affects • Adapt the real world,” he said.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Past and upcoming stars collide at Skyline football camp By Neil Pierson

There were roughly 140 players on the field at Skyline High School, but it was easy to form a consensus about who their favorite football player was. During the third day of the annual four-day Future Champs Camp at Skyline on July 24, several of the young boys had donned No. 2 purple-and-gold Washington Huskies jerseys. And it was no coincidence the player they idolized, former Skyline standout and current Husky wide receiver Kasen Williams, was there to partake in the festivities.

More than 140 kids signed up to participate in Skyline’s annual Future Champs Camp. back Jake Heaps led the Spartans to five state championships between 2007 and 2012. “They were my idols growing up,” Longmore said. “That’s all I wanted to be.” While the camp was largely about having fun, competition wasn’t completely shoved to the back burner. During the daily flagfootball scrimmages, for example, the Spartans

players coached their kids from the huddle and the sideline, and were often screaming and celebrating alongside them after touchdowns. Youngsters like Maddox Scott, an incoming fourthgrader at Cascade Ridge Elementary School, were first-time participants looking to better their skills on the gridiron. Scott said his favorite teams are the Texas Longhorns and Seattle

Seahawks, and his favorite positions are left guard and safety. “I like left guard because you can push people around, and safety because you can tackle people,” he said. Scott added that he’ll “maybe” play for the Spartans one day, and he takes some pleasure in the sport’s physical nature. “Only when I’m doing the pushing around,” he said with a laugh.

Eastlake Legion baseball stays alive at state AA tournament By Neil Pierson

The Eastlake Baseball Club scored five runs in the second inning, leading to a 13-4 rout over the Round Table Saxons in a July 27 loser-out game at the Double-A American Legion state baseball tournament in Spokane. Eastlake, which won the Area 1 South Division tournament to reach state, kept its season alive and played Gonzaga Prep of Spokane in another loser-out game July 28, results that came after press time. Against the Saxons, Eastlake took

advantage of seven errors and scored multiple runs in four innings. Mark Whitley led the offensive attack, finishing 4-for-4 with three runs scored. Whitley also pitched five strong innings, allowing one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out five. Elliot Carney and Ryan Frizelle each had two hits and an RBI for Eastlake. In the July 26 tournament opener, Eastlake had an early 4-1 lead, but Asotin County scored the final six runs to claim a 7-4 victory. Connor Loveall took the loss for

Eastlake. He gave up three runs, two of them unearned, with four walks and three strikeouts in three innings. Eastlake grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Shaan Kothari and Ayden Oh singled to load the bases, and Jackson Dahl and Beau Krueger produced run-scoring hits. Asotin County took the lead in the fourth and didn’t look back. Eastlake reliever Ryan Isler walked one batter and hit another, setting up a two-run single from Asotin’s Blake Rimmelspacher.

police have better equipment for getting into cars as well.” The Seattle Humane Society recommends pet owners take pets with them when leaving a vehicle. “Never leave your pet in the car unattended in warm weather — not even for ‘just a minute’ or a quick stop at the grocery store,” according to a news release from the organization. “The interior of a car can hit 160 degrees in less than five minutes. Keeping an animal in a hot car can be fatal.” A dog’s normal body temperature ranges from 101 to 102.5 degrees. Dogs can withstand 107 to 108 degrees for only a very short period of time before suffering brain damage or death, the release said. Excessive panting, a dark red tongue, staggering, seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomiting are symptoms of heat stroke. “Remember that if your buddy has a shorter nose, like a Persian cat, a pug or a bulldog, he or she is more susceptible to heatstroke than breeds with longer noses,” the press release read. “If you suspect your pet has become overheated, seek veterinary care immediately.”

Stolen mail An officer was dispatched to the 4600 block of 234th Avenue Southeast on July 8 after multiple residents reported their shared mailboxes were damaged and mail had been stolen the night before. One resident reportedly witnessed a suspicious vehicle in the area on July 7. The vehicle was a white, four-door sedan, possibly either a Subaru or Volkswagen Jetta. The resident was unable to see the driver or passengers. Police were unable to obtain fingerprints from the mailboxes, but they spoke with residents and their homeowners association about additional security measures, including cameras and street lights. There were no suspects at the time of the report. Items in the Police Blotter come from Sammamish Police reports.
