hile dreams of Santa popping down the chimney on Christmas Eve to deliver presents were extinguished for most during childhood, a select few Bellevue residents have seen St. Nick trade in his sleigh for a mail truck.

cheer while wearing a full Santa getup for two or three days. But this year, a local grinch complained to the U.S. Postal Service, and McLean has been banned from bringing his alter ego to work this year. “The government is shutting me down because it’s a non-postal regulation uniform,� said McLean, who has been with the postal service since 1971.

McLean began donning the red and white when a stranger at the mall told him he looked like Santa Claus. Always the crowd pleaser, McLean took to the comparison, went out and bought a suit, and then another.

When he first started delivering mail in full Santa garb, McLean

immediately noticed the attention.

He said he’s caused traffic jams on his route on Old Main as passing drivers attempted to catch a glimpse. Merchants along his route have watched for years as McLean has been the center of attention to tourists and residents alike. “They stop him on the corner and want group pictures with him,� said Brenda Archuletta, manager of Amore Chocolates. “Little kids – they just stare because they wonder.�

They wonder because he fits the character. Every bit Kris Kringle, McLean sports a white beard and a tuft of long white hair. Looking the part is no easy effort, either. He dyes his blond hair, and keeps a careful [ more SANTA page 3 ]

John Stokes has become the seventh and final 2012 Bellevue City Council Member.

King County Elections announced a 54-vote margin between Stokes and his opponent, land-use attorney Aaron Laing, following a two-day recount done by hand at the Elections office. “I am very pleased to have held a lead throughout the ballot count and throughout the recount, actually gaining three votes in the process, and being finally declared the winner,� Stokes said in a statement.

The vote closes what has been one of the closest races in the state, and Bellevue’s most contested election in recent memory. Many predicted the race to be a tossup, but few could have guessed that the margin of votes between the two candidates would never exceed 200 votes. Stokes opened with a 127-vote lead on election night, Nov. 6. His lead was razor thin, and the race appeared to be up for grabs. For several weeks, new results released each day drew the race closer, down to a margin of 51.

State law stipulates that the margin between the two candidates to necessitate a hand recount is less than 150 [ more STOKES page 6 ]

[ SANTA CLAUS from page 1 ]

Santa suit doesn’t fit USPS uniform regulations eye on the calendar when he trims the beard.

The only part of the Santa look he lacks is the portly figure, after losing 95 pounds.

McLean has brought his alter ego to Bellevue’s most popular Christmas attraction, Snowflake Lane, where he took his family a few years ago.

He said they were pushed aside as 50 people lined up to take pictures.

He’s also been a big hit at the Aegis Living of Bellevue senior center.

He visits regularly as both Santa and mailman. The residents know him well, and are always excited when Santa knows their name, he said.

But only a few days after Thanksgiving this year, he was pulled off his route by a supervisor saying someone had complained about the uniform. He didn’t know who he had upset, or why the complaint was filed.

Bob McLean gets into the Christmas spirit as Santa as he completes his route along 102nd Avenue Southeast in Bellevue Dec. 23, 2009. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter File Photo

“This was the first time; I don’t know what happened,� he said. “I don’t step on anyone’s toes. Being Santa isn’t religious to me; it’s secular. It’s about giving.�

USPS spokesman Ernie Swanson said the complaint came from a fellow carrier. Decked out in the full on Santa suit, McLean was not recognizable as a USPS employee.

McLean is still shocked over the outcome. He sees carriers wearing Christmas gear all the time. Either way, McLean said, he will bring the Christmas cheer, and he plans to don the Santa suit at work one last time: Christmas Eve.

y wife likes Christmas lights across the top of our house. I do too. That means it’s once again the annual struggle to find something — anything — that will work.

Call it the curse of the flat roof.

We have what’s called a French drain system on our roof. That means the gutter is internal; there’s no metal trough that runs along the fascia board.

That also means there’s no place to hook/clip/tie a string of lights. Believe me, I’ve tried. All I’ve got are boxes of lights to show for my failed attempts.

In the past I’ve tried stretching strings of mini-lights along the fascia. But they just sag.

My wife doesn’t have to step too far outside the front door to give a thumbs down.

A couple of years ago I switched to C9 bulbs when I discovered they had a little clip on the side. Hey, I thought, this clip will slide up inside the flashing, giving me a perfectly straight line of bulbs.

That worked just fine except that the plastic clips wouldn’t always fit under the flashing edge. Worse, the clips, being plastic, would break off. The result was more sagging bulbs.

One year, mid-way into the Christmas lighting season, I resorted to using duct tape and nails to straighten out sagging bulbs.

Have I mentioned that all of this usually happens in the midst of a cold winter rain?

Of course, with conventional incandescent bulbs, I can only connect two sets together.

That means I also must make a trip to the flat – but slippery in the winter – roof to lay out extension cords. Did I mention that it rains in the winter around here?

It’s gotten so bad that this summer, when we were having some work done on our roof, Craig Groshart

OF NOTE

Strung out on Christmas lights EDITOR’S NOTE

QUOTE

here is a sense of relief – along with a lot of smiles – in the region now that Boeing announced that it would build its 737 MAX in Renton and the Machinists have approved a four-year contract extension.

To anyone who works or lives here or is concerned about the future of the aerospace industry in Washington state, the decision seemed like a no-brainer. But Boeing did look around, just like it did for a 787 production plant and a new world headquarters. We know how all that turned out – two low points on the roller coaster that is life with Boeing.

So, it should be clear that, as Gov. Chris Gregoire has pointed out, we can take nothing for granted. We are in a competitive atmosphere that spans the globe for such manufacturing prizes as the production of what’s been called a game-changing airliner.

That’s why it’s so important to credit one of the key players in the talks that ultimately led to Boeing’s decision – the Machinists. The Machinists and the engineers union have been on board the statewide effort to keep the 737 MAX production in Washington state.

Despite years of acrimony and strikes, the Machinists and Boeing found common ground.

We all should thank them for their willingness to do what’s right for everyone. We like what Machinists Local 751 president Tom Wroblewski had to say: “This proposed agreement with Boeing is good for our members, good for the company and good for our communities.”

Of course, each side benefitted. But the point is they set aside their differences and gave a little or a lot to reach this landmark agreement.

That’s the type of leadership we demand from our political leaders in Washington, D.C., and Olympia. Our nation’s capital has become a bastion of do-nothings, hamstrung by philosophies that play to the extremes, leaving out all of us in the middle.

So, while Boeing and the Machinists have taken a critical step forward to keep the 737 MAX production in Renton, we must all work to ensure the success of Gregoire’s plan to keep the aerospace industry strong and even present in our state.

We must strengthen our math and science programs at all levels of education and train or retrain workers at such important two-year colleges as Bellevue College in the skill that increasingly are necessary for the 21st century.

Our four-year universities are wilting under Olympia’s failure to adequately fund education.

That must be reversed.

So while we’re at it, we would also demand that legislators quickly approve the training and education package valued at about $9.8 million that Gregoire has put forth to ready our state to prepare future aerospace workers.

It was a good week in our state for the aerospace industry. Let’s build on that and get the rest of our economy moving ahead, too.

I considered spending an additional $2,500 to have exterior gutters put on the house. $2,500!!!! Am I crazy? Well, I’m getting that way.

This year, in the spirit of saving the planet, I bought LED bulbs. Wow, I thought, you can string 30 or 40 sets together. No more crawling around on the roof.

When I took the lights out of the box, I discovered that they didn’t have clips, but since they were smaller and I figured a couple hundred push-pins would be enough to anchor all the lights. Unfortunately, these LED lights had twisted wires, which not only don’t straighten out but also end up pointing the bulbs in every conceivable direction.

My wife was even faster with her thumb.

In desperation, I went back to the store (I think I’m single-handedly keeping Lowe’s profitable along with helping million of workers in China stay gainfully employed) bought some more C9 bulbs with the plastic clips. They would supplement unused C9 strings I still had from previous failed lighting attempts. Yes, they still had plastic clips, but I figured if they just last this year I could redouble my efforts at a solution next year.

Did you know that different manufacturers put male/female plugs on different ends of the string? The result is that while half my light sets have clips facing the flashing, the other half face the street and, of course, means they won’t attach to the flashing.

I won’t say I’ve given up on the project, but more and more I’m remembering a old Seinfeld episode where George Costanza tells of his father’s effort to de-commercialize Christmas.

“Festivus” anyone?

his first court appearance on Dec. 9.

If convicted, Godwin faces between 36-48 months in prison.

Godwin, a convicted felon, has an extensive driving record, including more than a dozen traffic violations for speeding, disobeying road signals, failure to stop at signals and reckless endangerment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very busy hub,â&#x20AC;? said Kirkland Police spokesman Lt. Mike Murray on Dec. 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The debris field was so big we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just shut down a lane or two.â&#x20AC;?

Godwin admitted to police he was speeding at approximately 60 mph in the 35 mph zone when he drove through the intersection, according to police records.

Kirkland police responded at 2:50 a.m. to the fatal traffic collision. The man on the bike was wearing reflective clothing, lights and a helmet.

Police said that Godwin agreed to a voluntary fieldsobriety test, of which he did not perform well and was unable to complete certain parts.

The suspect also produced a blood-alcohol sample of .078 at 3:34 a.m., at least 45 minutes after the accident. The legal limit in Washington State is .08.

QFC Meat Donations Help the Hungry Meat is one of the few sources of wholesome, nutritious protein in food pantry visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diets. But for many food pantry visitors, meat is something that rarely is put on the table.

Food pantries that serve the hungry often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the resources to provide meat to the people they serve.

However, for several years now QFC has been able to help these agencies by donating wholesome meat products that no longer meet our standards for appearance or freshness. Last year, QFC donated 560,000 pounds of meat to food pantries in Washington and Oregon. This is part of QFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery Rescue program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy food is important for everyone, but particularly so for low-income people suffering from illnesses, as well as children and seniors. QFC meat donations enable people to maintain healthier lifestyles and give people the energy everyone needs to care for themselves and their families,â&#x20AC;? says Food Lifeline Grocery Rescue Program Manager Laura Johnson.

QFC stores are allowed to donate any meat product in good condition that is frozen on or before the date on the package. This can include beef, poultry, pork, and seafood, as well as pre-packaged meats such as fully cooked lunch meats and hot dogs.

When meat products no longer meet QFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards for selling to our customers and become eligible to be donated, it is critically important that we maintain safe handling and storage procedures. There are very real cross contamination risks when handling meat. For that reason, we keep all meat donations separate by species while awaiting pickup. We use plastic tubs provided by Oregon Food Bank and Food Lifeline; the bins nest and stack and help us to separate meat by species in our meat freezer. All meat donations are frozen solid before leaving the store.

Practices we follow before donating meat products include: freezing to 0o Fahrenheit on or before the date on the package and separating the

meat by species.

A Food Lifeline agency that participates in the Grocery Rescue program says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks for the food you give to those in need. We are seeing an increasing need in our community and you are a big part of why we can help.â&#x20AC;?

By donating product that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet our selling standards, QFC helped our neighbors and friends in

Western Washington and Oregon feed their families. This helps people get back on their feet after experiencing challenges like losing their homes or jobs.

When should my child first see a dentist?

A tire sits in the passenger seat of a vehicle on SR-520. COURTESY PHOTO, WSP

A 47 year-old Kirkland woman is in stable condition at Overlake Medical Center after a wayward tire smashed through her windshield and landed in the passenger seat of her car on Tuesday morning.

Anita Manueltiqui of Kirkland was driving westbound on SR-520 near the 92nd Avenue Northeast exit when a tire, with part of the rim still attached, broke loose from a trailer being towed by a pickup truck and ended up inside her vehicle. The pickup was headed eastbound at the time and the driver stopped at the scene.

State troopers are investigating whether to pursue charges against the 39 year-old Tacoma man driving the pickup, which was towing a flatbed trailer loaded with some 2,000 pounds of equipment.

An unattended candle ignited a house fire Tuesday evening on the 4100 block of 140th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue.

At approximately 6:10 p.m., the owner of the 2-story home reported a fire in the downstairs bedroom. A candle had been left burning next to the bed, and the mattress and box spring both caught on fire.

Fire crews from Bellevue and Redmond arrived at the home, which was filled with smoke and removed the mattress and box spring.

No one was hurt in the fire, and the residents are working on finding temporary housing, officials said.

BELLEVUE VOICES

If you’ve driven past First United Methodist Church (1934 108th Ave. NE) in the past week, you have noticed the characters in the Christmas story beginning to populate the front lawn.

These straw-stuffed figures are the brainchildren of members of the congregation working together for the joy of telling the real Christmas story in an unusual way.

By Dec. 25, Joseph and Mary will reach the cow shed, attended by shepherds. The Magi will arrive

to be a good neighbor, and on Dec. 17, we are offering a hands-on experience for elementary-age children who come to “Bethlehem Village” between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. while their parents go shopping or get other errands done. You can learn more about it on our website, www.fumcbellevue.org, but basically, we are recreating Bethlehem in the time of the Roman occupation.

Children will make new friends; chat with shopkeepers eager to teach them their craft and happy to talk

about the exciting happenings; visit with some wise men about constellations and the bright star they’ve been studying; use hammers, saws and hand drills to create their own miniature stable in the carpentry shop; and much, much more.

This year as an alternative to the divisive public discourse so rampant today, we are focusing on the ancient teaching, “Love Your Neighbor,” and we are getting to know our neighbors who follow the teachings of Islam or Judaism and Bud-

dhism. Representatives from the various faith communities have been marvelous instructors, and our “field trips” to mosque, synagogue, temple, and this week an Orthodox Cathedral are invaluable connections for interfaith and ecumenical dialogue. We are into dismantling walls, not creating them.

Rev. Dr. Beryl A. Ingram is Senior Pastor at First United Methodist Church in Bellevue.

Council votes in ambulance fee to balance budget

BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

The Bellevue City Council decided Monday to begin charging residents for non-emergency ambulance transportation.

The move was part of a slate of decisions on the part of the council and city staff to close a $6.5 million budget gap. The move is projected to generate $1.1 million annually for the city.

Users of the non-emergency

ambulances would pay a $600 flat fee, as well as $12 to $14 a mile. Bellevue was one of the last holdouts in the county in free non-emergency ambulance rides.

Still, Councilmembers Grant Degginger and John Chelminiak did not see these fees as an answer to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a service that we are going to provide whether we do this or not,â&#x20AC;? said Degginger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It amounts to charging people twice for the same service.â&#x20AC;?

City Manager Steve Sarkozy has already proposed a lengthy list of spending cuts totaling $4.6 million, including the elimination of 17 full-time equivalent positions, six of which would involve layoffs, voluntary separations or voluntary retirements.

The proposed reductions come on top of those made last year when the city reduced its workforce by 49 positions and cut $16 million from the budget.

The other $1.6 million in cuts

involves leaving vacant positions open. At risk are a number of positions, including four bicycle patrol police officers, a police captain, and a drop in 24/7 daily emergency firefighter staff.

Sarkozy said the cuts represent a scaling back of services to levels similar to 2007-2008. The city has attempted to avoid cuts to public safety, but growth projections have slowed to molasses-like speeds.

Next week - annexation Beginning at 8 p.m. Monday, the Bellevue City Council will hold a public meeting on whether to accept annexation of the Eastgate and Tamara Hills communities.

Property owners representing more than 50 percent of the assessed value of both unincorporated areas have signed petitions seeking annexation to the City of Bellevue.

The council was originally going to take action on them next spring, but could act early to preserve a state tax credit designed to offset the cost of providing services.

Pro light-rail community group hit with campaign finance violations

BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

A community organization that played a large role in the 2011 Bellevue City Council races has been given a $1,000 fine for violating the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign finance laws.

The organization, Move Bellevue Forward, was fined by the Public Disclosure Commission after it failed to register as a political committee and report expenses to promote candidates.

Composed of former Bellevue politicians and pro light-rail citizens, Move Bellevue Forward sent out mailers endorsing council candidates Claudia Balducci, John Chelminiak and John Stokes, all of whom won their races. The group also opposed Tim Eymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tolling Initiative 1125, which lost in a statewide vote.

Move Bellevue Forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mailer was sent out Oct. 18, at a cost of $6,615, a portion of which likely came from local developer John Su, according to the PDC, because the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account only had $5,000 when the mailer was made.

The group became a political committee Sept. 27, when it first decided to send the mailer, according to the PDC. According to PDC regulations, Move Bellevue Forward should have filed as a political committee by Oct. 11 at the latest.

The group filed as a one-year political body on Nov. 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 24 days after the General Election. Move Bellevue Forward reported receiving more than $10,000 in September in October, and spending more than $8,000.

The PDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action against

Move Bellevue Forward stemmed from an Oct. 20 complaint from a resident, Geoff Bidwell, about the mailer, where he said the group was attempting to cover up its donors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Move Bellevue Forward - which is barely a Bellevue organization, since three of its five board members are based in Seattle - engaged in activity with the obvious intent to hide both the source and driving force behind this specific mailer, and potentially many beyond,â&#x20AC;?

Bidwell wrote.

The day before Bidwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint, Move Bellevue Forward submitted a report to the PDC disclosing the expenses for the mailer.

Sue Baugh, president of Move Bellevue Forward, said in a statement to the PDC, that the board was unaware that its actions had changed the status of the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time the pieces were mailed, Move Bellevue Forward did not realize that community advocacy groups such as itself, that are not organized for the purpose of supporting or opposing particular candidates or ballot propositions could, nonetheless, be subject to reporting requirements if they publicly endorsed a candidate or took a position on an initiative,â&#x20AC;? Baugh wrote.

Baugh argued that because the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary purpose is not to take stances on issues or candidates, the issues in the 2011 election were key to their pro-transit goals and required their participation.

Move Bellevue Forward should not be classified as a political committee, she said.

Garden Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;lights, one of Bellevueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top winter attractions, is open for another year of business. The annual spectacular features more than 500,000 lights throughout the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, and more than 150,000 people descend upon the site every year. TEK CHAI, Bellevue Reporter

Seattle Choral Company to perform in Bellevue on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve The Seattle Choral Company will present Carl Orff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carmina Buranaâ&#x20AC;? in two performances Dec. 31 at the The Theatre at Meydenbauer Center, in Bellevue.

Patrons can attend either the early (7-8:15 p.m.) or the later (9:30 to 10:45 p.m.) performance, depending on their evening plans. A no-host cash bar will be provided in the Grand Lobby before both performances.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carmina Buranaâ&#x20AC;? will be presented in the composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own chamber version for two pianos and percussion.

Joining SCC Conductor Freddie Coleman and members of the SCC chorus will be pianists Lisa Bergman and Deborah Dewey, who comprise the piano duo Ventidita, as well as vocal soloists Jennifer Ceresa, soprano; Paul Karaitis, tenor; and Benjamin Harris, baritone.

Reservations are accepted until 11 p.m. on Dec. 31.

Tickets are $65 (center seating) and $55 (side seating). All seating is reserved. To purchase tickets, call Brown Paper Tickets at 800-838-3006 or visit www.seattlechoralcompany.org. For in-person sales, visit the Brown Paper Tickets outlet at Meydenbauer Center (11100 NE Sixth St. from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week).

State regulators Wednesday issued a complaint against Puget Sound Energy alleging the utility company improperly charged a residential-visit disconnect fee to electricity and natural gas customers.

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission staff is alleging PSE committed 1,639 violations of state consumer protection rules. The commission staff also is asking the UTC to require the utility to refund customers charged the $13 fee in error.

The alleged violations arose from an investigation that spanned from March to May of this year. UTC staff found PSE was improperly charging a $13 field-visit disconnect fee to customers. The PSE representative can only charge the fee if he or she was dispatched to the residence to disconnect electric or natural gas service. Under state rules, PSE may not charge a disconnect-visit fee if the utility visits a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for a purpose other than to disconnect service, such as leaving a 24-hour termination notice or collecting a payment.

The three-member commission will set a schedule for hearing the complaint. The company has 20 calendar days to file a response. If proven at hearing, the commission could assess PSE as much as $1,000 for each violation.

The company is not allowed to pass any penalty costs to customers through rates.

Bellevue-based PSE serves more than 1 million electric customers and about 750,000 natural gas customers, primarily in the Puget Sound region of Washington.

The UTC is the state agency that regulates private, investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities in Washington.

It is the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to ensure regulated companies provide safe and reliable service to customers at reasonable rates, while allowing them the opportunity to earn a fair profit.

Mike Black grew up in Bellevue and was an All-KingCo selection for the Wolverines in 1986 as a place kicker and punter. After his prep career finished, Black continued playing at Boise State University, where he was coached by Seahawks quarterback and legend Jim Zorn.

A lifelong Hawks fan who attended nearly all of the team’s home games from 1976 until leaving for college in 1987, Black has been part of the ESPN-ABC crew that produces Monday Night Football and Thursday night NCAA football for nearly a decade.

Black, who now resides in California, works as the talent spotter and stage manager with the broadcast crew of Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski on the ESPN Monday Night Foot-

ball crew that was in Seattle for the Seahawks Week 14 division matchup with the St. Louis Rams at Century Link Field.

He took some time to chat with the Reporter about working with such recognizable characters in the booth, the life of a production crew member and his best memories as a Wolverine.

BELLEVUE REPORTER: How often do you make it back to the Pacific Northwest and Bellevue?

MIKE BLACK: With my schedule, with college football and the NFL, it’s anytime we do a Seahawks Monday night game or the last three or four years, a couple UW games here and there. I hope for one a year at least.

BR: When you’re back in town, what are your must-visit spots?

MB: I’ve got to eat at Spud Fish and Chips.

I make it over to Bellevue to check out the old stomping grounds and to the UW right on the water because that’s where we spread my dad’s ashes.

BR: How did you land with the Monday Night Football crew?

MB: ESPN took it [MNF] over in 2006 and me and Tirico have been together since before then. I was on the ABC Monday Night crew doing a different job the previous few years and were on the Thursday college package before we made the switch to Monday night.

BR: All of the guys in the booth are quite the characters on the air. Does it change when the cameras switch off ? [ more BLACK page 19 ]

Sports Roundup Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in sports and recreation

BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

LOCAL YOUTHS SEND BELLEVUE YOUTH SOCCER CLUB TO FOUNDERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CUP

MB: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally easy-going. After I played at Boise State I played in the Arena League for 10 years, so I have a history with Gruden. I used to compete against Jay, his younger brother, who is now the offensive coordinator with the Bengals. Jay was a coach with the Orlando Predators so when Jon got on the show, it was pretty cool because I had the history with his brother. Jaworski is heavily involved in the Arena League still and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known each other over the years so when he got assigned to the show it was awesome. When Jaws came on, it was great and when Gruden was announced it got that much better. The guys are so relaxed leading up to the game and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty self-sufficient. It seems like they are everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friends on the crew.

BR: You have obviously

remained close to football and have a passion for it.

What are a few of the highlights from your prep days?

MB: The senior year I had and being so close with my teammates and guys I grew up with is what I remember most. We lost in the first round of the playoffs, so obviously that was disappointing. But having that as my first full season of high school playing, it was a great memory and I knew I wanted to play in college somewhere.

BR: Do you keep up with the Wolverines and what do you think of where the program is today?

MB: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened to Bellevue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to come back and see it. Where I see it the most is in USA Today when I read it on the road.

I see the weekly rankings and they keep creeping up.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe.

Spring district moving forward

BY NAT LEVY

Developers Wright Runstead have submitted an application for what could turn out to be the next big issue in Bellevue: the Spring District.

The $1.5 billion development includes 36 acres of land now occupied by the Safeway distribution site. It is planned to include a mixed-use of office towers, retail outlets and residences.

The development is a transit-oriented project, meaning it is primarily centered around the construction of East Link light-rail through Bellevue. One of the centerpieces of the development, a new hotel, will have an entrance to a lightrail station, according to planning documents submitted to the city.

The project is slated to be built over a 15-year period, in seven distinct phases. According to Wright Runsteadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application, developers hope to begin construction on the project in the first quarter of 2012. However, city representatives said the review of the plan, which does not involve a public hearing, would likely take until the early summer. Those interested can submit public comments about the plan to the city until Dec. 22 at 5 p.m.

The new project is projected to bring nearly 37,000 vehicle trips per day into the area on 124th Avenue Northeast, south of Bel-Red Road, including more than 3,700 during peak evening time, the busiest in Bellevue. Road improvements to 120th Avenue Northeast, and the creation of a new street - Northeast 15th/16th - will help free traffic once the new buildings come in. These are projects in Bellevueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget.

For the past six years, 520 Bar and Grill has been voted the best Meeting Place in Bellevue by the Bellevue Downtown Association, the only issue was it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough room to serve guests.

Owner Joseph and Randi Brazen have just finished the expansion of 520 Bar and Grill in Old Bellevue on Main Street. There is now twice the room and seating. And the good news is they have kept the look and feel of the original 520.

Hansen named to Make-A-Wish Mitchell Hansen, a principal with Clark Nuber, a Bellevue-based CPA firm, was recently appointed as treasurer to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Alaska & Washington Chapter. To date, the Foundation has granted more than 250,000 wishes worldwide and is the largest wish-granting organization in the world.

The issue of paying for the part of the project became an issue this election season. Several candidates running for Bellevue City Council opposed impact fee breaks for the project, citing Bellevueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenuous budget situation.

The project was an important item on the council in 2009.

The body decided to rezone the area for light industrial and residential development. The city and Wright Runstead reached a development agreement around that time.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cirque du Soleil with horsesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; headed to the Eastside

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com

Marymoor Park was abuzz with the raising of the circus tent for the show, "Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse," on Dec. 8.

"Cavalia" includes acrobatics, aerialists, music, dance and of course â&#x20AC;&#x201C; equestrian stunts. It's like Cirque du Soleil, but with horses. When the show opens Jan. 24, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to have the same draw as Cirque shows, gaining audience members from across the Eastside, Greater Seattle and even across the region.

It took less than 20 minutes for crews to raise the 10-story-foot-tall tent, spanning more than 26,000 square feet. Unlike traditional circular circus tents, the Cavalia tent is built to be big enough to allow the horses freedom to move during the show, so the audience sits on one side, and the show takes place on the opposite side.

Kevin Brown, director of King County Parks and Recreation, said he was pleased that the show is finally coming to Redmond after years of discussing the possibility with Cavalia's artistic director, Normand Latourelle, who cofounded Cirque du Soleil before breaking away 20 years

ago.

While Marymoor has hosted numerous Cirque shows, this will be the first time it has housed a show by Cavalia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the name of Latourelle's company, as well as this particular performance. The company additionally has another show called "Odysseo," playing in the south.

Latourelle said the inspiration for a show with horses came in the early 2000s, when he used a horse in a previous show that simply walked across the stage. People were transfixed by that animal more than the human performers.

In an age where many people live in cities, and are becoming increasingly removed from nature, the chance to see a show with these majestic animals is special, Latourelle said. The relationship between human and horse goes back thousands of years. Throughout various cultures, people rode horses for many aspects of life, from travel, to hunting.

This history is presented in the show.

"Even people who don't know horses come to this show, and they are moved by what they see," Latourelle said. "It's in their blood. It's because of our ancestors."

Go see it on the big screen. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Jim Hensen and Frank Oz behind Kermit and Miss Piggy, the film was done with such love, and clearly, by people who grew up with the Muppets (like I did). Tearjerking moments included Kermyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rainbow Connection.â&#x20AC;? The only downside to the film is that Selena Gomez is in it (no offense, tweens).

of contemporary and vintage Holiday collections; House # 4: Tastefully and elegantly decorated, showcasing the view of the Lake; House # 5: Artful designer dĂŠcor from the ceiling to floor with a wrap-around verandah; and House # 6: Heirloom decor in a classical Lake Washington setting with over 15 decorated trees.â&#x20AC;?

My favorite decorations were in #6, the lovely waterfront home of Diane and Paul Birkeland. Upon entering, your eyes were immediately drawn to the spiral staircase that was wrapped with garland, ribbons and ornaments on the right, and a small decorator tree placed

IN GOOD COMPANY

The Assistance League of the Eastside annual signature fundraiser, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrations,â&#x20AC;? took place on Friday, Dec. 9, in Kirkland. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairs were League members Kay Zatine and Susie Hino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrationsâ&#x20AC;? was a self-guided tour of six unique homes beautifully decorated for the holidays.

All proceeds from this annual event will help fund the philanthropic programs of the Assistance League of the Eastside that include Operation School Bell, Assault Survivor Kits, Starting Over Support and Assistance League Outreach.

These programs provide new clothing to more than 2,600 students selected by school personnel in the Lake Washington, Bellevue and Northshore school districts; help to restore dignity to survivors of sexual assault with clothing to replace items retained as evidence by the police; and bring comfort to families seeking shelter from domestic violence.

Each of the six homes were decorated with the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday themes and color palettes, all embracing the beauty of Christmas.

Miranda Roberts, VP of communications for the Assistance League shared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;House # 1: Was a twinkling clerestory of modern living; House # 2: 35 bins of dĂŠcor completed this themed house that included more than 100 Nutcrackers collected over the years; House # 3: Juxtapositioning

on top of the piano on the left. Also, two more of the many designer trees were on display. By far, my favorite tree was the Christopher Radko ornament tree in the living room. Every room

was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Children will have the opportunity to visit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bethlehem Villageâ&#x20AC;? and experience the sights, sounds and events the day Jesus was born. The event, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 17, is offered at First United Methodist Church of Bellevue.

Children will travel through the village with a tour group of new and old friends, led by two qualified adult tour guides.

Throughout the course of the day they will chat with shopkeepers eager to teach them their craft and happy to talk about the exciting happenings. Magi will share what they know about constellations and the bright stars theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been studying.

Using hammers, saws and hand drills children will

create their own miniature stable in the carpentry shop.

Playing hopscotch the way Roman Centurions played the game will help them to build up their strength, balance and flexibility. In the stable they will help tell the story of the baby born in a manger and the shepherds that visited.

Pre-registration is advised, as only the first 100 elementary school-age children will be accepted. Registration forms are available at www.fumcbellevue.org, or call the church office at 425-454-2059. Cost is $5 per child. Children should bring their own sack lunch.

Snacks will be provided.

The church is located at 1934 108th Ave. NE, Bellevue.
