Delayed project will mean new on-, off-ramps Last weekend’s scheduled closure of Interstate 405 is back on – starting today.

When crews reopen the road Monday morning, drivers headed to Redmond, Seattle and Kirkland will use new ramps to get to I-405 and State Route 520. “Many drivers travel the same routes day after day and get into a routine. The changes coming Monday are significant,� said Seema Javeri, WSDOT project engineer. “We need drivers to get familiar with the changes this week so it’s not a surprise come Monday.�

New signs in and around Bellevue will direct drivers to SR 520 and I-405 using the new ramps. Drivers going to SR 520 will use Northeast 10th Street. The new ramp will take vehicles directly to eastbound and westbound SR 520.

Eastside drivers will no longer have access to SR 520 from Northeast Eighth Street. Drivers will continue to use Northeast Eighth Street to reach I-405 but will use a new ramp to reach northbound I-405. Northbound I-405 drivers should prepare to exit to SR 520 nearly one-half mile earlier than the current exit point.

Bellevue man sees past his blindness

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com

Bellevue resident Clark Roberts has always loved to ski. Outdoor activities such as tandem biking, wakeboarding and snow sports were always a passion of his.

When he started going blind, that didn’t change. “You have to come to the point when you can embrace your situation,� said Roberts, who was diagnosed with Retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that has caused him to lose almost all of his vision. “You realize that you can still do the things you want to do, just in a different way.�

Learning how to ski, literally in the dark, is one thing (Roberts did it in five private lessons with an instructor). More basic things to re-learn included how to survey a room, judg-

Students from the Bellevue School District came out on top of the newlyreleased National Merit Scholarship semifinalist list for 2012.

Interlake High School has more students on the prestigious list than Dr. Amalia Cudeiro any other public high school in Washington state. With 24 students on this year’s list, Interlake finished second only to Lakeside School, a private school in Seattle. In all, this year’s semifinalist list includes a record 45 students from Bellevue schools.

Newport High School also made a strong showing with 14 semifinalists. Five Bellevue High School seniors are on the semifinalist list, as well as two students from International High School.

Semifinalists are eligible to compete for a $2500 National Merit Scholarship.

In addition to the semifinalists, 82 students representing all five Bellevue high schools have received Letters of Commendation in recognition of their academic promise.

These students will not compete for National Merit [ more TEST SCORES page 21 ]

51 become citizens at Bellevue ceremony before they become eligible for citizenship. They undergo a background check and study 100 American civics and history facts. They are asked 10 questions during an interview and need to answer six correctly to qualify to become citizens.

For Khen, the path to citizenship was a bit more bumpy. It took him and his family five years to get Green Cards. During that time he continued to work at Microsoft and update his work VISA. To do that he had to leave the country each time, sometimes for several days.

Khen is grateful to be a part of this country, which was founded on immigration, but he would like to see the red tape cut out of the process. He said it could make the country more competitive economically. “Not every country has the ability to attract talented people from all over the world. Sometimes this country misses its opportunity big time,� he said Though the citizenship process was difficult for Khen, he and Saliev both found peace and comfort in Bellevue. With its diverse populace - 30 percent of Bellevue residents are foreign born - the adjustment wasn’t as difficult. But there was still some culture shock.

In Uzbekistan, Saliev said people – women especially – keep to themselves.

Strangers talk to each other more here, she said.

For Khen the effect is just the opposite.

Israel is an aggressive culture, he said.

People are direct and are more than happy to let you know what they think of you.

Both agreed that this part of the country is a good fit.

Event a first for city

BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

Danny Khen waited for this day for more than a decade.

Khen, who arrived in the United States just weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks, saw both the lowest depths and highest peaks of the American spirit.

And now, 10 years later, Khen is officially an American.

Khen was one of 51 people from 23 countries who became U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony hosted by the city and the Bellevue Downtown Association Sept. 23 at Bellevue City Hall, the first such event in the city’s history. After speeches from Deputy Mayor Conrad Lee, and members of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, each of the 51 people were recognized by nation. When they next sat down, they were United States citizens. “I’m very excited,� Khen said about the ceremony. “We’ve been here 10 years. It didn’t take us long to realize this is a great place to live.�

Khen first touched down in August of 2001, after his software startup in Tel Aviv was acquired by Microsoft and he was hired by the Redmond-based company.

Along with his wife and three children, Khen set out to make a new home in a foreign land. “It’s a completely new place on the other side of the world, practically, and we had con-

A total of 51 people from 23 countries become American citizens Sept. 23 in a ceremony at Bellevue City Hall. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter cerns about finding schools for the kids, just getting to understand how life works here.�

Lee, himself a naturalized U.S. citizen, spoke of the importance of giving back to the nation that gives them the freedoms they desire. And he told them to enjoy this day, which for him continues to be memorable. “The proudest day of my life was the day I became a U.S. citizen,� he said.

Aziza Saliev is already giving back to the country. Formerly a resident of Uzbekistan, Saliev had dreamt of coming to the U.S. to get her education since the age of six. She began reading books in English to teach herself the language.

This work eventually paid off when in 2006, with her parents and brother at her side, Saliev made her way to America.

The family originally settled in suburb

outside of Boston, but they left soon after due to the cold climate. They settled in Bellevue where Saliev began taking classes at South Seattle Community College, and later Bellevue College, with the goal of becoming a nurse. A welcome twist saw her get married and have a child, and she then continued on her career path, something she may not have been able to do in Uzbekistan. “Young people here, they can go back to school and make their career,� she said.

As she continued her path to becoming a nurse, Saliev also was working to become a citizen. She earned her Green Card and began to study for her test, which she said was pretty simple.

Sharon Rummery, spokeswoman for Immigration Services, said an individual needs to hold a Green Card for five years

Public continues debate over light-rail project Public debate over the location of East Link light-rail has not died down, despite Sound Transit’s decision to run the route along 112th Avenue Northeast and Bellevue Way. Seventy-six people spoke at a public hearing Monday night, in what turned into a battle of property owners on the proposed route against those who wanted the council to push the project forward on its current path. A majority of those that packed City Council chambers and the adjoining rooms were in favor of working with Sound Transit to make sure the project gets done on time.

“It’s past time to do all that worrying and go forward with the courage to build this thing,” said Martin Paquette, a member of Move Bellevue Forward, a pro-light-rail group.

However, a large portion of the crowd also spoke out against the project. They were concerned about the impacts to residents, the increased noise and the potential traffic consequences.

Monday’s hearing was the second of two public events to review new design options. As it is now planned, the rail line will cross Southeast 15th and Sixth streets, with a crossing from the east to west side of 112th Avenue at Southeast Eighth Street. The two options push the road crossing south to Southeast

15th Street. One option runs the train at street-level, with the other creating a 40-foot high fly-over that dives into a trench, going under Southeast Fourth.

These new options received mixed reviews. Residents on the west side of 112th Avenue could see trains infringe on their property. But businesses in the Bellefield Office Park and Bellevue Club area pushed for those options, as they could save their land from disturbance.

Before the public meeting, councilmembers continued their weekly discussion of the project. Councilmembers questioned city staff and Sound Transit personnel about avoiding noise impacts from bells and gates at crossings and increased costs of running the train in a trench. Sound Transit didn’t have all the answers to the council’s questions. Officials said further details will come out once the organizations hammer out the details on funding the approximately $300 million downtown tunnel, and further engineering work can be done.

“In order to continue in a problem-solving mode and get to that next level of detail that is important to the council, we need to get the project into final design so we can answer these questions once and for all with bricks and mortar,” said Sound Transit Planning Director Ric Ilgenfritz.

.S. Postal Service workers nationwide are saying they don’t want a bailout – they just want to get the mail out.

The agency has survived technological change, from the telephone, telegraph, fax machine and the Internet, where people can send email instead of conventional letters.

But the Postal Service, which lost $8.5 billion last year, is now struggling so much that it will not be able to make a $5.5 billion payment due Sept. 30 (the end of the USPS fiscal year) to a federal retiree health care trust fund.

Desperate to steer the agency from defaulting on its employee pension obligations and to cut billions from its payroll, the Postal Service is proposing to cut Saturday mail delivery and close thousands of post offices. More than 120,000 postal workers could also lose their jobs.

Of the 32,741 post offices in the U.S., the Postal Service is reviewing about 3,700 for possible closure – or nearly 10 percent. Six of those offices are in Washington state: Kent, Seattle, Spokane, Yakima and two in Tacoma.

Congress should take emergency action now and stabilize the agency’s finances.

During a rally on Tuesday at congressional districts throughout the country, including Bellevue’s Eighth District, postal workers petitioned and informed people about House Bill 1351.

The measure is in response to a 2006 congressional mandate that the Postal Service pre-fund future retiree health benefits for the next 75 years – and do so within a decade.

That’s $5.5 million each September out of the agency’s

We’ve become too greedy and heartless I must reply to Denny Andrews’ Sept. 16 letter: “We can’t afford Obama’s recovery.” When did the Americans that Mr. Andrews represents become so heartless and greedy? What happened to the social responsibility of the 1930s through the ‘60s that created the “Wealthiest Country in the World”?

Why show such hatred for Obama for trying to heal the wounds caused by the previous eight years of Bush’s spending: lowering such badly needed tax money for our infrastructure and bringing us into the most expensive wars in our country’s history? Can you figure out how many jobs and how much repaired and replaced infrastructure one month of war spending would fix?

Each time people get laid off, they lose close to everything: their benefits, homes, cars, credit rating, medical and dental care, self esteem.

Does the letter writer not have the compassion to know how deeply sad and desperate it is to lose a job or profession?

On this whole planet we have the highest difference in salaries between the highest paid and lowest paid workers, just like before the Great Depression of 1929.

In Europe, where I’ve lived and worked, even after all of the taxes and spending that Mr. Andrews hates so much, Europeans still have

operating budget for the health benefits of people who haven’t been born yet, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers.

The bill would give the Postal Service access to the billions of dollars Congress forced it to set aside for pre-paid pension benefits.

In an already-strained economy, it doesn’t make economic sense for an agency to provide such benefits to future work-

ers.

Alternatives to this bill are not in the best interest of residents, communities and local businesses, let alone the future of USPS. The agency is a centerpiece of a $1.3 trillion mailing industry that supports 8 million jobs.

It’s time for Congress to protect those jobs by worrying about present - not future - workers.

Schools moving in right direction From my education advocacy, direct interactions and participation with Bellevue’s School Board and administration, I believe we are moving in the right direction; good work progresses that puts kids first.

More is needed.

Some adapt to change more easily. Parents and community are the check and balance on special interests and bureaucracy. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.

I continue to support Dr. Amalia Cudeiro and school board members. School board members only receive expense stipends, have day jobs, no aides. They receive hundreds of emails, often repetitive, uninformed, self-centered.

Bellevue’s school administration was cut last year, in one of

several new, unprecedented, very public processes with the goal to preserve classrooms. Communications and transparency are improving.

Until more people exercise citizenship rights and responsibilities by fully engaging, educating themselves on issues, showing up regularly and voting smart, detrimental wrangling and special interest dominance will continue.

Any blockage can stop light rail service for some time. A few extra buses can handle big emergencies if necessary. Buses obviously offer the advantage of versatility as well as expense. One can imagine light rail’s cash appeal, but the longrun benefits favor buses.

Sharon Taubel, Bellevue

What’s to debate?

Buses have advantage

Regarding the story, “Residents continue debate over light-rail,” I don’t understand what people think they’re debating. The decision-making process is over.

It’s pretty amusing that the one anti-light-rail quote is the guy who can’t be rational about anything anyway.

Here’s an objection to light rail: Its route is fixed in place.

I frequently take the 271 Metro bus from the Lake Hills area to the University of Washington.

Recently, construction closed the SR 520 (Evergreen Point) bridge, and my bus got there on time anyway. The driver followed its regular route from my bus stop through Medina, turned on 520 back towards Bellevue, headed south on 405 back toward Seattle on I-90, north on I-5, resumed its regular route at Montlake and got to the hospital bus stop on time.

All the driver did was steer the bus on the alternative route.

Also, at Christmas time a few years ago, we got caught in Seattle in the big snowstorm and our

Bellevue residents can now make a “beeline” to Redmond, starting this weekend.

King County Metro will roll out it’s latest fleet of fast, high-tech buses on the RapidRide B Line, a Bellevue-Redmond connection, featuring free rides Saturday and Sunday.

Elected officials representing the Eastside converged at Crossroads on Wednesday morning to celebrate the new route, funded by local and federal money.

“RapidRide means less time waiting and more time moving,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said during his remarks at the “ribbon-tying” event at Crossroads, where approximately 70 people celebrated the launch of the new route.

The B Line route will travel between the Bellevue and Redmond downtown transit centers, with limited stops along Northeast Eighth Street, 156th Avenue Northeast, 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 90th Street.

With buses arriving every 10-15 minutes, the route makes connections to Crossroads, the eastern portion of Overlake, the Microsoft campus and north Redmond.

7 dirty little secrets That most contractors don’t want you to know before you buy a new furnace Why is it so hard to choose a contractor?

Okay, so tell us these secrets already

Why is it so hard to purchase a new furnace? Is is the economy? Lack of enthusiasm?

Sometimes, Roberts said, he is so taken with emotion that he can’t see things, such as the blueness of the water and the paradise surrounding him on a family vacation to Hawaii, for example.

In addition to his own resilience, he gets through those moments because of his faith in God, plus support and inspiration from his family. “There’s this huge misconception that blind people can’t contribute anything to society, that they can’t hold a job, that life just stops,� Roberts said. “It’s just not true.

Ronna’s theory is that “moving one’s hand across the page for a sustained period clears the way to sparking creativity.� It’s too soon to tell if the experiment works for this guinea pig, but I’m having fun.

Komen execs discuss fight against breast cancer healthy lifestyle choices: diet, exercise, etc.

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com

On Sept. 18, women in Seattle and Bellevue walked with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation to help end breast cancer. The Bellevue Reporter caught up with Elizabeth Thompson, national Komen president, and Cheryl Shaw, executive director and breast cancer survivor, to discuss strides in the search for a cure.

REPORTER: All women need to start yearly annual mammograms at age 40.

But what are some things women 39 and younger can do for breast health and cancer prevention?

THOMPSON: Right, women under 40 do get breast cancer all the time.

It’s all about knowing what’s right, normal and healthy for your body. I encourage women to go to our website

1. Know your risk: Learn about your family health history and talk to your provider about your personal risk of breast cancer.

2. Get screened: Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk and get

a mammogram every year starting at age 40, and a clinical breast exam every three years starting at age 20.

REPORTER: Aside from language barriers and lack of access to health care and information, are there other factors preventing women from getting screened?

THOMPSON: Yes. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)’s recent report was very confusing to women. While Komen has maintained that

women need annual screenings beginning at age 40, the USPSTF said screenings may not be required every year, and that by the time women reach their early to mid 70s, they may not not screenings anymore altogether. Now, I know a lot of women who are 72, 75 and these are amazing women.

They’re going to live well into their 90s and they need to be covered with yearly screenings, too.

REPORTER: Tell me about the inspiration for Komen’s new “Less Talk.

More Action� campaign, which is helping employers ensure their female employees are able to get screened.

THOMPSON: A recent study has found that less than half of women with Medicaid or with insurance are not being screened for breast cancer with annual mammograms.

Why does this happen even to women who have wonderful health insurance?

Women schedule their mammograms six months out. However, when a woman’s employer says they need X,Y and Z to be turned in on Friday or need her to meet with an important client, she always says, “Of course.� The woman calls her doctor and needs to reschedule. We want to help make screening a priority, whether that means extending the lunch hour or making sure there’s always no meeting on a certain day of the week. Because if we have a healthy company, healthy employees, that makes for a healthy USA.

REPORTER: Who are some of the most vulnerable people at risk for breast cancer?

SHAW: The Latina community has a high rate of breast cancer mortality (An estimated 14,000 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in U.S. Hispanic women in 2009, with more than 2,200 deaths, making breast cancer the leading cause of cancer death among Latina women in the U.S. according to the http://ww5.komen.org/), so we are developing partnerships to target communities with large Latina populations.

This high mortality rate is due to a variety of factors, language and cultural barriers, access to health care and information, etc.

Honoring a choreographer with a night of food, dance

Rose Dennis

IN GOOD COMPANY

Pacific Northwest Ballet premieres its All Wheeldon program at First Look 2011 – An Evolution of Dance It was a beautiful opening gala Sept. 23 for Pacific Northwest Ballet’s First Look 2011 – An Evolution of Dance. The event was in honor of contemporary choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, who shared that his choreography is strongly influenced by his early training at London’s

Royal Ballet.

As PNB’s Artistic Director Peter Boal stated, “On stage, Christopher’s presence was as memorable as his arabesque.”

This year’s gala chair was Issaquah resident Caroline Hazard Goedhart. She and her committee members from PNB STARS wanted the backstage dinner, held before the performance, to have a elegant organic décor with large and tall tree limbs, moss and sedums.

Candles glowed and soft music was performed by a string quartet as guests enjoyed an organic dinner of heirloom tomato gazpacho, summer squash, peach and endive salad, and sirloin beef.

Caroline shared, “We wanted this year’s event to be different from the past, and I feel that we were able to make this happen with everyone’s support, which I am grateful for.”

From left: Erza Thomson, PNB Corps de Ballet; Christopher Wheeldon, choreographer; Lucien Postlewaite, PNB Principal. ROSE DENNIS, Photo so unexpected; origami twists and the unlikely curls of an orchid come to mind. Softened by the tranquil pulse of Arvo Part’s score, the work holds the viewer long after the curtain descends.” Maria and Karel were able to accomplish just this, and much more.

Dessert and dancing followed the performance on the McCaw Hall stage. Everyone was there: Christopher; Peter and his lovely wife, Kelly; the dancers who performed that night; PNB STARS members, PNB Board of Trustees and Advisory Board members; and many patrons who love the ballet. It was so much fun!

While driving home, I continued to reflect on how wonderful this evening had been. If you have the opportunity, I encourage you to see All Wheeldon this weekend. www.pnb.org

When guests and season ticket holders arrived to their seats, Boal announced that PNB dancers Rachel Foster and Lesley Rausch were promoted to principals, and that the night’s performance was dedicated to longtime arts patron Bagley Wright, who passed away in July.

When the red velvet curtain opened, we were treated to four of Christopher’s works: “Carousel” (A dance), “After the Rain” pas de deux, “Polyphonia,” and “Variations Se’r ieuses.”

All of the company dancers performed beautifully, but my favorite was a performance by principal dancers Maria Chapman and Karel Cruz in “After the Rain.”

ROADSHOW COMES TO BELLEVUE NEXT WEEK!

By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER

Got gold? Next week, visitors can cash in on gold and silver jewelry, antiques, collectibles, and all coins prior to 1970

Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because the “As seen on TV,” Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to Bellevue. Roadshow specialists are in town examining your gold and silver, antiques and collectibles.

While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1970, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular categor y this week due to soaring gold prices.

Buyers for the roadshow have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming to the Roadshow, and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewelry with our fair and honest purchase offers.

The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it in and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold.

Other types of items Roadshow specialists hope to see include vintage guitars. Ryan Krushas, one of the Roadshow’s instrument specialists, spoke about some of the top guitars getting great offers. “Gibsons and Fenders are in big demand right now as are vintage amps,” said Krushas. We also buy violins, mandolins, woodwinds, if it plays it pays! Timepiece specialist Jeff Ford adds, “Watches are hot! We recently paid over $2,500 for an old Hamilton pocket watch. And we are buying all types of high-end wrist watches too. Brands like Rolex, Tiffany and Chopard are very desirable to collectors. And the finest Swiss timepiece in the world, Patek Philippe, just earned a happy seller $42,000.00”

Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1970 are the most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1965 are 90% silver, and valuable because of either the silver content or even more valuable if one happens to be a rare date. Fuller explained, “We help people sort through their coins for

Head Games

Part two of our look at how local high schools are dealing with head injuries to young athletes

BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

At Eastside Catholic School in Sammaish, there were 37 documented concussions at the high school level and 18 more in middle school youths during the 2010-2011 school year. Twenty-one of the 55 came in football.

In its first year of playing football, Bellevue Christian School has already seen a rash of concussions including one that may keep a player from participating in basketball as well. The numbers were lower at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, where there were 25 documented concussions across all sports. But one of those involved spinal complications and ended a player’s career and three other student-atheletes saw their football season come to an end.

Two Totems’ football players have already been concussed in the opening weeks of this season.

Both Bellevue High School and Eastside Catholic employs the ImPACT testing system, which is used by a bevy of NCAA athletic programs, over half of the NFL and much of MLB and MLS. The 20-minute test, which was developed in the early 1990s by Drs. Mark Lovell and Joseph Maroon, measures verbal and visual memory, processing speed and reaction time, attention span, working memory and other factors that are then compared to baseline results to determine whether or not a player is suited to return to action.

“I’m really happy with it,” EC athletic trainer Kristen Slonksy said. “Nothing is full-proof, but what we do makes me feel safe about putting those kids back out on the field.”

Slonsky emphasized that she does not use ImPACT to decide whether or not an athlete has suffered a concussion, but rather as another tool to measure recovery once symptoms have begun to subside. Slonksy also uses a daily checklist where athletes can detail the scale of their symptoms to measure the rate at which recovery is taking place.

While ImPACT is widely recognized as the most comprehensive, scientifically reliable system available for testing athletes who have been concussed, it has drawbacks as well, namely price.

ImPACT offers three yearly packages for schools or organizations that gives access to the testing system. The most affordable includes 75 baseline tests and 30 post injury tests at a cost of $350. A mid-range package priced at $500 allows for 300 baseline tests and 120 post injury tests and the most inclusive package offers 600 baseline tests and 240 post injury tests for a price of $750. Each of the packages are good for one calendar year and additional baseline and post injury tests can be purchased in an a la carte fashion in increments of 50.

At Sammamish High School, players are baseline tested before the season, but not using ImPACT software.

Totems’ athletic trainer Cheryl Reed, who spent six years at Skyline High School in the same capacity, has developed

Dr. Stephen Hughes is a specialist in head injuries at Overlake Medical Center and a team doctor at Mt. Si. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter her own system of baseline testing using parts of the SCAT 2 (sports concussion assessment tool) test combined with other methods. SCAT 2 tests memory, coordination, balance and delayed recall. She believes her system is more practical and more efficiently executed at the high school level than ImPACT. “In my professional assessment of the ImPACT software, I don’t think it’s a usable tool at the high school level,” Reed said. “Without neurologists who can read the results, it’s not going to be terribly helpful. I know my athletes better than a piece of software.”

Reed’s replacement at Skyline, Lian Yuen, also uses a modified SCAT 2 testing system and performs baseline tests for Spartans’ athletes by request. Yuen said there simply is not enough time to baseline test each and every athlete. 60% of Skyline’s 1,395.68 (2010 WIAA average fulltime enrollment figure) students participate in one or more varsity sports.

Unlike her predecessor, however, Yuen believes ImPACT is a viable system at the high school level.

“I would love to do ImPACT testing,” Yuen said, adding that the system allows baseline tests to be taken by athletes on any computer, meaning they could complete the timeconsuming and detail oriented process at home. Yuen also believes the ImPACT model, which varies the memory portion of the testing each time it is taken, would be useful in deterring overzealous athletes from cheating the test by memorizing responses.

Other schools such as Newport and Interlake do not [more HEAD GAMES page 13]

Bellevue, Newport hope to get defensive tonight

BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

It’s no secret that Newport and Bellevue have two of the most dangerous offenses in the area, led by a pair of dual-threat maestros in Isaac Dotson and Tyler Hasty. But when the Knights welcome unbeaten Eastlake and the Wolverines travel to 3-1 Mercer Island tonight, it will be the defenses that hold the key to victory.

Facing a top-flight quarterback is nothing new for the Bellevue defense in 2011.

First, it was Lucas Falk, an Oaks Christian transfer from Logan, Utah who is widely considered one of the top prospects at his position in the country for the class of 2013. Next up was Max Browne, a junior

from Skyline who holds scholarship offers from California, Clemson, Utah, Wisconsin and the hometown Washington Huskies.

Neither could crack the Wolverines.

But those inside the Bellevue program are looking at tonight’s test against UW commit and Elite-11 participant Jeff Lindquist as the most difficult of the three.

“Jeff is probably a little more mobile than the other two and that creates some problems,” Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff said. “He’s a little harder to prep for.”

Bellevue senior defensive back Devin Murphy will be part of the unit charged with slowing Lindquist.

“The key is that he can run the ball really well and has good size,” Murphy said of the 6’3, 225 pound

practicing for the past two weeks.

Knights hope to reverse trend

Jeff Lindquist has Bellevue’s attention. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter Mercer Island senior. “We’re going to need to rally to the ball when he’s running and be disciplined in our coverage.”

Despite Lindquist’s ability to create with both his arm and legs, the Wolverines are confident they will be able to matchup with Mercer Island at the line of scrimmage, keeping the lineback-

ing corps free to attack if he takes off running and close down passing windows when the Islanders take to the air.

Bellevue will also again have the services of running back Myles Jack tonight.

Jack, who moved to Georgia during the offseason, is back living in Bellevue and will be eligible to play after

Newport surrendered its lowest point total of the season last week in a 49-6 win over Cascade (Everett) after allowing 24 to Bothell and 34 to both Interlake and Mercer Island, which handed the Knights their only loss of the year.

The Wolves, meanwhile, have scored more than 40 points in each of their previous three games after opening with a 35-14 win over Central Kitsap.

“They [Eastlake] are really good at running,” Newport senior and leading tackler Nathan Kubej said.

“We’re going to need to be physical and real quick off the ball.”

Eastlake boasts two of the top eight rushers in the conference, including Ryan Lewis, who has tallied 660 rushing yards through the first four games of the season to go with eight touchdowns on the ground.

While Lewis has set the pace in the running game, quarterback Keegan Kemp has thrown for 558 yards and six scores and is also a threat as a runner, going in for four touchdowns this season.

“We’re going to have to pressure him and make sure we break down,” Kubej said.

“We see he likes to scramble sometimes.”

Since Newport rejoined 4A in 2008, the Wolves have had their number, winning each of the four meetings between the two, including a mini-playoff victory in 2009.

September 30, 2011 [13]

[ HEAD GAMES from page 12 ]

Coaches, players, parents all shifting trend conduct baseline testing for athletes. Phillip Chermak, who is the head athletic trainer for the Knights, says baseline testing protocols are somewhat unproven and out of the price range of cash-strapped school districts. “Especially in the current economic climate, it’s not something that is going to be implimented right away,�

Chermak said of ImPACT. “I don’t know if ImPACT is the final answer, but it’s a good first step in getting testing standardized.�

A shift in culture Blake Miller knows all is not lost.

While the Issaquah senior missed a chance at major playing time for the Eagles’ state-ranked squad and a possible college football career, stories like that of Zack Lystedt remind him of just how lucky he is. “Even though it (football) is my favorite sport,� Miller said. “I don’t want to be brain dead by the age of 30.�

Things are turning around for Lystedt as well. While his parents still offer him assistance for most all daily activities, there is progress. After years of assistance from Dr. Herring and countless others, he Blake Miller is able to walk with a cane, carry a conversation and is slowly working his way back to even greater self-sufficiency. “We get very excited about the new things we get,� Victor said. “The fact he can stand next to the sink and brush his teeth is like the longest ball he ever hit.�

The Lystedts met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and even attended the Super Bowl with him. Goodell has been a feverish advocate for concussion reform since taking over the role of commissioner and has been more than willing to hand out fines for players who cross the line.

Herring says Goodell has promised to remain on board with himself and others around the country until every

state has adopted a Lystedt Law. Zack also met with football legend John Madden, who decided after meeting him to modify a feature in his bestselling video game franchise, forcing players who suffer a concussion to remain sidelined. Previously, gamers could simply substitute a player with a head Zack Lystedt injury back into the game, something they could not do for players with other serious injuries such as ligament tears or broken bones.

National sporting goods retailer Sports Authority is pushing concussion awareness to the public as well with a TV advertisement that has been running during college and NFL games this season featuring Jerome Bettis, known for a punishing running style that earned him the nickname “The Bus�. The commercial is to promote a program through Sports Authority where every pair of athletic shoes purchases is accompanied by a donation to ImPACT that will help subsidize the cost of the program for high schools nationwide. If the financial burden is lessened on the already cash-strapped school districts, the hope is they will be able to get on board with ImPACT for the safety of the student-atheltes. “We have a greater responsibility to get that message out to everybody,� Victor Lystedt said. “It’s a cultural change. It doesn’t make you any tougher to have your brain impaired.�

Herring, who has worked around professional sports for nearly three decades, has begun to see that cultural shift take place even at the highest level. “For the first time in my almost 30 years of doing professional sports, a professional football player came up to me and told me he thought the guy next to him wasn’t right,�

Herring said. “That’s a huge step forward. It was nice to see that change socially.�

But cultural change is a painstakingly slow process. Until the protocols that are now commonplace at the youth level

translate to the collegiate and NFL ranks, that process won’t be complete. The torchbearers for that movement aren’t those currently in the professional, collegiate or even high schools ranks. It’s those playing youth football, those who have an introduction to the game that includes concussion awareness, education and prudence. The Greater Eastside Junior Football Association has clubs based at every 2A, 3A and 4A KingCo school and has a dedication to ensuring those who come through the various clubs understand concussion awareness. John Veentjer has been president of the GEJFA since 2000. “Player safety is our highest priority,� Veentjer said. “Before the coaches are allowed to step out on the field, they are required to take concussion training.�

But it isn’t just coaches who are getting schooled on the critical importance of recognizing possible concussions and removing the athlete from play. Parents and players are given literature at registration and educational videos and other materials are available online. Club officials can view which coaches have completed knowledge-based concussion tests and remove those who have failed to do so.

Veentjer, like Herring, said he is also beginning to see the cultural changes on an individual level. “The culture has changed a lot,� Veentjer said, adding that during his days as a player 50 years ago, athletes were denied water, given salt pills and told that getting one’s “bell rung� was just good football. “It’s gotten a lot better.�

While each and every day is still a battle, the Lystedts never lack for motivation. Victor said he has been contacted by numerous parents from around the country thanking him and Zack for standing up and being heard on the issue. And while that won’t help his son recover any faster or more thoroughly, it provides a type of catharsis knowing that others will not be forced to suffer through what he cannot avoid. “Because we decided to stand up and move forward with this,� Victor said. “I guarantee you he has saved kids’ lives.�

Saints still perfect on pitch The Interlake tennis team fell for the first time, 6-1 to defending 3A state runner-up Mercer Island on Tuedsay, moving its record to 7-1 on the season.

Coach Matthew Perlman’s Saints have notched wins over Woodinville, Eastlake, Juanita, Redmond, Bothell, Bellevue and most recently, Liberty.

Girls soccer Only two minutes into its girls soccer match with Mount Si, Interlake found itself in an unfamiliar spot.

The Wildcats took an early lead on a goal from Claire Larson only one minute into the game and looked primed to hold on with the game still at 1-0 with less than eight minutes remaining.

But the unbeaten Saints refused to go quietly, getting an equalizer when sophomore Emma Bergstrom netted the gametying goal off an assist from Courtney Fedor.

Then, with less than a minute remaining, Junior Sydney Carlson found Isabel Farrell for the game winner to keep the Saints perfect on the year at 7-0-0 (5-0-0 in 2A/3A KingCo).

Interlake met Juanita on Thursday after the Reporter’s press time, and will play host to Liberty, the only other unbeaten team in conference play, next Tuesday.

Boys golf Bellevue 189 Interlake 187 Andy Liu of Interlake shot a 34 to lead the Saints to a two stroke win over Bellevue. Radleigh Ang led the Wolverines, shooting a 35.

Bellevue: Radleigh Ang – 35, Jacob Koch - 36, Chandler Hawk – 39, Brock Meitl – 39, Jack Perkins/ Blake Willey – 40; Interlake: Andy Liu – 34, Andrew Kennedy - 36, Patrick Sato – 38, Grant Cole – 39, Dawid Papenfus – 40

Senior Austin Razor took the opening kickoff 78 yards between the Braves’ coverage team for a quick 7-0 lead and it looked as though the Vikings were again going to roll to a big win as they did in the first two weeks of the season.

But La Conner quarterback Skylar Krueger went 66 yards on his team’s second play from scrimmage to even things up and two possessions later, Dahlton Zavala returned a punt 62 yards for a go-ahead touchdown as the duo lifted the Braves to a 39-24 win, their first of the year.

Razor kept the Vikings within reach by returning the ensuing kick for a score until Zavala went in again, this time from 30 yards out, to give La Conner the lead for good. “We came out flat,� BCS head coach Greg Schneider said. “They were ready to play and we weren’t.�

On the next play it was again Krueger delivering a crippling blow when he went in for another score to slam the door on the Vikings and hand them their first loss of the season. “It’s a building process,�

Schneider said. “We’re going to learn from it.�

Bellevue Christian will face Orcas Island at Lake Washington High School tomorrow.

Other games Bellevue led Lake Washington 48-0 at the half and cruised to a 54-0 victory to push its record to 4-0. The Wolverines face 3-1 Mercer Island next week.

Interlake fell 41-7 to the Islanders on Friday night behind a career-best performance from Mercer Island junior quarterback Brian Higgins, who threw for 207 yards and a score in relief of senior Jeff Lindquist, who was resting a sore shoulder according to reports.The Saints travel to Snoqualmie to meet 3-1 Mount Si, which defeated Liberty 1613 in overtime.

Lautner captivates in ‘Abduction’ Aran Kirschenmann

THE YOUNG CRITIC

“Abduction” is the newest action drama stirring up interest in Hollywood.

Most of the hype is undoubtedly because of the film’s star, Taylor Lautner, who is best known for playing the leading role of Jacob in the popular “Twilight” saga. That film earned him plenty of attention, and even made him a teenage heartthrob.

lacked energy and chemistry throughout “Abduction,” and didn’t add very much to the film.

The highlight of “Abduction” are the action scenes.

Lautner did most of his own stunts, the best ones including his multiple hand-to-hand combat scenes. “Abduction” was action packed and filled with fun and excitement.

While the film had plenty of dangerous skirmishes, it didn’t have enough high drama in the plot that should have kept it intense and suspenseful no matter what was happening.

If you are a Lautner fan, you will undoubtedly be a fan of seeing him center stage and in full action in Abduction.

3 indicted in business burglaries

BY PEYTON WHITELY Reporter Newspapers

A prosecution of an electronic theft ring that sometimes used a technique called â&#x20AC;&#x153;war-drivingâ&#x20AC;? to commit crimes on the Eastside and elsewhere has moved into the federal arena.

Three Seattle men are named in a federal indictment that accuses them of multiple conspiracy counts to steal information and other goods from businesses in Bellevue and throughout the Puget Sound region.

The indictment brought Sept. 15 in federal court in Seattle largely parallels accusations first filed early in 2011 in King County Superior Court.

Several Eastside businesses are named as victims, including four in Bellevue.

The defendants are Joshuah Allen Witt, 34; Brad Eugene Lowe, 36, and John Earl Griffin, 36, all of Seattle. If convicted, they could face up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The 10 counts, which include charges of identity

theft and illegally accessing computer systems to commit fraud, describe both complex techniques and expensive tastes.

Among the techniques was a tactic known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;war-driving,â&#x20AC;? according to the charges, in which people drive through neighborhoods with a long-range antenna to find vulnerable computer networks.

The three men â&#x20AC;&#x153;used the war-driving technique, and information they obtained as a result, in order to identify and reconnoi-

Downtown group to hold candidate forum

About 40 Postal Service employees rallied at Congressman Dave Reichertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on Mercer Island to urge him to support legislation resolving post-office money problems. REBECCA MAR, Mercer Island Reporter

Demonstrators urge help for U.S. Postal Service

BY PEYTON WHITELY Reporter Newspapers

U.S. Post Office employees rallied at the Mercer Island office of U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert on Tuesday to encourage him to sign a bill in Congress that could save 120,000 jobs and preserve Saturday delivery.

Despite widespread public perceptions that the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial problem stems from things like the rise of email, Rick Horner, a Bellevue letter carrier who has 33 years of postoffice service, says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to deal with the invention of the telephone and telegraph.

We can deal with this,â&#x20AC;? said Horner, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the legislative committee chairperson for Branch 79 of the

YMCA planning vintage fashion show The Bellevue Family YMCA will hold a vintage fashion show from 1-3 p.m.

Oct. 15 at Westminster Chapel, 13646 NE 24th St., in Bellevue.

The event will showcase a collection of fashions that spans more than a decade.

Cost for the event is $10.

Light treats will be served.

Each model in the show will present a â&#x20AC;&#x153;head to toeâ&#x20AC;? view spanning from work to play.

The event will support the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Partners With Youth campaign.

More information is available by calling Cherri Pamer at 425-830-0902.

National Association of Letter Carriers in Seattle.

Instead, Horner blames federal legislation passed in 2006 that requires the Postal Service to pre-fund future health-care benefits for 75 years, and do it within 10 years at a cost of about $5.5 billion a year.

No other private company, or public agency, faces such a financial burden, Horner said.

The intent of the rally, plus others held at congressional offices across the country, was to urge Reichert to sign House Bill 1351,

and also to motivate the public to become involved in discussions about saving the Postal Service, Horner said.

If Congress approves H.B. 1351, the money sitting in the fund could be used to fix the USPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial issues, without costing taxpayers a dime.

The Postal Service â&#x20AC;&#x153;binds together this vast land nation, offering inexpensive service to every resident no matter how remote, and it also unifies individual communities,â&#x20AC;?

Horner said.

Eleven candidates will share their views on key issues facing the county, city and school district at the Bellevue Downtown Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Candidate Forum on Tuesday at the Hilton Bellevue.

Forum seating will be first-come, first-served, and doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is free.

The BDA wants voters to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go beyond the yard signsâ&#x20AC;? to meet and hear from the candidates before making

their choices in the November 8 General Election.

Bellevue Reporter Editor Craig Groshart will serve as moderator. The public can suggest a question via email at forum@bellevuedowntown.org, or use the question drop box at the event.

Most number of Bellevue students to qualify Scholarships, but may qualify for scholarships sponsored by private businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very pleased to see so many Bellevue students on this prestigious list.

With dedication and hard work, they have proven once again that our students have the skills to succeed and compete with their peers from across the nation,â&#x20AC;? said schools Supt. Amalia Cudeiro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impressive list of semifinalists also reflects the commitment of our teachers and staff to preparing our students for college, career and life.â&#x20AC;?

For this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition, semifinalists needed to score a 220 on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT) taken in October 2010. The minimum score for commended level is 202. A perfect PSAT score is 240.

The Class of 2012 made an impressive showing. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list includes the

most-ever number of Bellevue students qualifying at both the semifinalist level and at the commended level. In addition, six Bellevue students scored a perfect 240 on their PSAT. More than 1.5 million students take the PSAT each year. About 16,000 high scorers qualify as semifinalists. They will compete for 8,300 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $34 million.

To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, semifinalists must meet several requirements. They must have an outstanding academic record throughout all four years of high school. They must also receive a recommendation from their principal and earn high SAT scores.

National Merit Scholarship winners of 2012 will be announced in the spring.
