Issaquah assault trial delayed for Seattle Seahawks’ Leroy HillNEW — 12:15 p.m. July 29, 2010
The assault trial for Seattle Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill has been delayed until next month.
The trial in Issaquah Municipal Court had been scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Thursday, but defense attorney Jon Fox and City Prosecutor Lynn Moberly requested a continuance, or postponement.
Judge N. Scott Stewart granted the request Thursday morning. Hill, 27, waived the right to a speedy trail. The jury call has been set for 9 a.m. Aug. 20.
Unless attorneys for both sides reach a settlement in the meantime, the trial could begin the following week. Hill has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge.

High school students get new chemistry curriculumIssaquah School District high schoolers will come back to their science laboratories this fall with a new chemistry book.
Issaquah School Board members unanimously voted to adopt the textbook “Chemistry 2008,” by Prentice Hall, at their July 14 meeting.
The new curriculum cost about $120,000 and was paid for with money donated to the district by the Issaquah Schools Foundation.
The curriculum replaces one the district has used for more than 14 years. While the science of chemistry hasn’t changed in that time, the best methods for teaching it has, district spokeswoman Sara Niegowski said.
The new books are more hands-on, she said, with more inquiry, deep-thinking problems and new laboratory experiments for students to do.
