Starbucks turns on the juice Coffee titan open nation’s first Evolution Fresh juice store at Bellevue Square BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

After years of spanning the globe with its green logo emblazoned on nearly every coffee cup the eye could see, Starbucks is taking a shot with some healthier fare. The coffee giant opened the nation’s first Evolution Fresh store Monday in Bellevue Square. The enterprise, a juice and health food retailer, more closely resembles Jamba Juice than its YOURstore. JUMBO joe-producing sister LENDING SPECIALIST

Residents from around the Puget Sound area packed the new location, right next to the Starbucks in the Lodge, itching to check out the new drinks and food. “This is the gathering place of this region,” said Arthur Rubinfeld, president of global development for Starbucks. The store features juice taps, where customers can build custom-ordered 16-ounce drinks for $7.99, or eightounce offerings for $4.99. The menu is visible throughout the store, with a four-screen video wall that can display the drink choices with the simple press of a button at the main counter. In addition, Evolution Fresh also sells salads and sandwiches. An average meal with drinks and food comes

Rubinfeld said the company picked the Bellevue Square location because of its drawing power, combined with the healthy living style exhibited by many of the residents in the region. Downtown Bellevue residents and employees can get delivery from the new store as well. The company is planning to start slow with the incorporation of the new stores.

Though extensive construction is set to begin this year on Interstate 405 through Bellevue, questions remain about how the project will be paid for, and who will be able to travel in which lanes. The Washington State Department of Transportation updated the Bellevue City Council on Monday on progress to build new lanes that could be tolled with rates varying by levels of congestion. According to the state’s schedule, construction from Northeast Sixth Street to Lynnwood is scheduled to begin this year. The project would add one lane both north and south from Bellevue to Bothell. This lane would be an express toll lane, as would the existing carpool lane. The carpool lane from Bothell to Interstate 5 would be converted as well. Use of these lanes would be priced at varying levels throughout the day based on congestion, similar to the system in place on State Route 167. Revenue from tolls is expected to pay for a portion of these new lanes, but WSDOT officials indicated this may not be enough, and additional tax raises could be needed. “I’m very confident tolling will not pay for all the improvements we want to see on I-405, said Kim Henry, director of the I-405/SR-167 programs for WSDOT. “I think there’s going to have to be some new revenue gas tax or something Artist’s drawing shows how HOT lane signs could look on I-405. WASHINGTON STATE like that - to match the tolling revenue DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION we are getting.” Other questions that remain are that of traffic capacity, and impacts on side streets. Bellevue has always shown concern that increased

Foundation raises $100,000 for police The Bellevue Police Foundation raised more than $100,000 to support the purchase of technology tools and equipment for the Bellevue Police Department at its third-annual fundraising breakfast March 16. That figure tops the $64,000 total raised at last year’s event. Since it was founded in 2009, the Bellevue Police Foundation has contributed more than $147,500 in equipment and training to the police department. This year’s theme, “Using Tomorrow’s Technology for Law Enforcement Today,” emphasized the importance of recent purchases by the foundation during 2011, such as the purchase of iPads, SWAT night-vision goggles, T-3 electric vehicle, computer forensics software and a new police K-9 named Diego.

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF

AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010. To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle

EDITOR’S NOTE

Chichi Bellevue? I’m all for it

t’s official. Bellevue is chichi. No less an authority that USA Today used that label Monday for the city in a story describing that the opening of Starbucks’ first Evolution Fresh store in the nation will be here, not in Seattle. The store will sell premium juices and vegan and veggie dishes and will be separate from the ubiquitous coffee shops that dot almost every corner in America. The Reporter has a story about the undertaking in today’s paper. But, back to Chichi, which means “showily or affectedly elegant or trendy; pretentious.” Wow. Little did I realize that our combination of great schools, numerous parks, clean streets and incredible diversity was so … pretentious. Being tweaked is nothing new for Bellevue. We often get smug put-downs from people in Seattle for apparently not having panhandlers lining our downtown sidewalks and homeless people urinatCraig Groshart ing in alleys. Of course, that could just be because Bellevue doesn’t have alleys. I have nothing against Seattle. I grew up there and it was a fine city. I remember walking around the downtown, Belltown (it wasn’t called that then) and the U District any time day or night without being concerned. I’m not so sure that’s the case today. I also remember a city that built the World’s Fair in the middle of town without endless meetings to debate, well – everything about it. The Space Needle went up, the U.S. Pavilion (now the science center) was inspiring architecturally and Seattle got a gorgeous fountain in the middle of it all. I’m pretty sure that could never happen again. Maybe not even in Bellevue. But it does seem overly smug to hear the Seattle putdowns about Bellevue when people here get good schools, city services and amenities that are not just for the rich, but for everyone. Bellevue, in fact, is more diverse than Seattle. There are 80 or so languages spoken in our schools other than English. About 30 percent of the population is foreign-born. In fact, members of the large population from India who live here is asking the U.S. government to put that country’s next embassy in Bellevue, not Seattle. And, despite what some think, not everyone lives in a mansion on the lake. Schools in east Bellevue have a large percent of students who get free or reduced lunch. There are homes in Bellevue that are modest by any standard. And public housing does exist. Nevertheless, voters here consistently approve school levy and bond issues. They know that all the schools in the district will get improved or rebuilt when their turn comes. Residents also appreciate that Bellevue allocates neighborhood improvement funds to every part of the city equally and on a rotating basis, letting residents decide what would be best for their neighborhoods. And not only are the parks here maintained to a high standard, but also plantings along streets and in medians, which are considered the equivalent of mini-parks. So, if this makes us “affectedly elegant,” I’m all for it. I have nothing against Seattle. I just won’t pay $3.50 to go see it by driving across the 520 bridge.

City should wait on detour My family leaves near Interlake High School off of Northeast 24th Street. I work in the Eastgate area. The most direct route to work is south on 164th to the Phantom Lake area and then around to Eastgate. Since the washout on West Lake Sammamish Parkway, plus people avoiding the 520 bridge, 164th has become bumper to bumper traffic most hours of the day. As a result of these changes, traveling north and south in Bellevue has become a challenge. You can imagine my shock to see electronic signs announcing that 164th between Northeast Eighth Street and the Phantom Lake area is now going to be closed through the end of June. The sign suggests drivers use 156th or 148, both of which are already packed. Closing 164th at this time is insane. Now a detour of the detour will definitely cause both 156th and 148th to become parking lots. What is the city thinking? Just when the cost of gas has gone out of sight, the city creates a situation where cars will experience heavier traffic and use more gas. The city should wait until West Lake Sammamish is repaired to share some of the load.

BC drama top notch Bravo to the Bellevue College Drama Department. I attended the recent production of “The Foreigner” and was thoroughly entertained. The Georgia Hunting Lodge set was worthy of any professional organization in the Seattle area. The actors top notch and portrayed the Georgia and English accents wonderfully. The lighting and special effects brilliant. What a wonderful resource to Bellevue and the Eastside. Thank you; we’ll be back again.

Where’s the reduction? I recently read where the increase in natural gas supply from new drilling techniques have dropped prices by nearly 80 percent over the past few years to new ten-year lows. That’s funny because I haven’t noticed any reduction in my heating bills. The only adjustment I can recall is PSE asking me to pay a surcharge to cover their extra cost from renewable energy sources. Maybe I missed the adjustment and my natural gas usage has skyrocketed. I doubt it!

Bellevue woman hit by bus, dies By Nat Levy Bellevue Reporter

A 47-year-old Bellevue woman was killed March 15 after exiting a King County Metro bus. Police say it is not clear what led to the incident, but at approximately 6:30 p.m. Nancy Biladeau was caught in the wheel well of the bus near Northeast 10th and Northup Way.

When the bus drove away, the driver heard a noise, police said. The driver immediately stopped the bus and found the woman lying in the roadway. Police and medics arrived on scene and attempted to revive her, but she was pronounced dead. Biladeau was a frequent rider of the route and was familiar to the other three passengers on the bus. According to a KING TV report,

Biladeau took great pride in her ability to get around but, the report added, had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old. For 22 years she worked at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, and got around town on the bus for frequent trips to the library and the mall. King County Metro spokeswoman Linda Thielke said the driver was taken to Overlake Medical Center for shock.

Bellevue Rotary awards grants Bellevue Rotary presented a $2,000 grant to Susan Camerer, executive director and co-founder of Vision House on March 13. Vision House (nohomelesskids.org), a Christian social service agency based outside of Seattle, has provided transitional housing, support services and child care for homeless mothers and their children and separately to homeless men recovering from drug and alcohol addition since 1990. Bellevue Rotary also presented a grant of $2,000 to Liz Stiger, area director of Young Life Eastside Capernaum (young-

life.org). Young Life works with children to help them feel safe and have the confidence to stand by their convictions. A $1,500 grant was presented to Karen Nestvold, development and outreach manager for Music Works Northwest (musicworksnw.org). Music Works Northwest is a non-profit community music school offering music lessons and performance experiences for all ages. The Bellevue Rotary Club is an organization of approximately 200 business and professional leaders. It is the largest Rotary club on the Eastside.

The 60-year-old driver is a 27year veteran of the organization, with only four minor accidents on his record (i.e. damaged mirrors from getting to close to signs or other things). Thielke said accidents have been at historic lows over the last two years. In 2010, with more than 48 million miles traveled, King County Metro recorded 420 preventable accidents, with 460 in 2011.

Divorced finalized for Sky’s parents Solomon Metalwala and Julia Biryukova, the parents of missing 2-year-old Sky signed a divorce agreement on Monday. Metawala was given custody of the boy’s 5-year-old sister, and Biryukova was allowed no visitation rights. The agreement stipulates that Metawala will pay the couple’s credit card debt of $47,000, but there will be no child support payments from either side. Biryukova reported on Nov. 6 that 2-year-old Sky disappeared after she ran out of gas in Bellevue. A massive

As the dust finally begins to settle on the State Route 520 bridge, another change is coming. Drivers will have to pay an additional 2.5 percent in tolling starting in July, as part of the Washington State Department of Transportation’s plan to have annual raises over the next few years. For peak time drivers this means an increase of 9 cents, up to $3.59 for those with a Good to Go pass. Rates will continue to increase each year by 2.5 percent through 2015. In 2016, a 15 percent increase in prices will occur. The rate increase is needed to ensure revenue will meet costs and make debt payments to the bondholders, as required by bond contracts and the project financial plan.

LINGERING OVER THE LATTE? Oddly enough, adults may share a tooth-decay problem that is normally associated with infants. The common denominator is the behavior of bathing the teeth for long periods in sugary liquids. In the case of babies, “bottle mouth” is the decay that occurs as a result of bathing their teeth in bottle-fed sugary liquids (fruit juices, milk, and formula) as they sleep or latch on to their bottles. In the case of adults, “latte decay” occurs as a result of nursing either lattes or cups of coffee mixed with milk and/or sugar throughout the day. In either case, the constant exposure to sugar provides food for the bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) responsible for metabolizing carbohydrates and sugar into enamel-eating acid. If you drink a good deal of sugary beverages or snack on carbohydrate-rich foods, you may want to ask the dentist about fluoride rinses. The best way to prevent the buildup of sugars is through twice-daily tooth brushing and flossing as well as having cleaning visits based on a schedule recommended by your dental health care provider. Sugar can accumulate more easily in some individuals, requiring more frequent brushing, and dental visits. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we discuss your lifestyle and the impact on your oral health, and can recommend the best schedule for your regular dental checkups. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, in Bellevue near the Microsoft Main Campus. We welcome you to call 425.641.4111 for an appointment.

Jim Fabregas, inventor of the Garden and Tool Caddy, uses the product for everything from holding his barbecue supplies to making sure his tools don’t fall in a waste bin when he’s working on the yard on the weekends. NAT LEVY, Bellevue Reporter

Keep your tools out of harm’s way Invention gives gardeners place to keep all supplies As a contractor and gardener of more than three decades, Jim Fabregas has lost a few tools in his day. Whether it’s dropping a lopper in the garbage, or leaving a tool in the bush, keeping track of supplies can be a real hassle. So about six years ago, Fabregas began fashioning an attachable tool case out of wood and plastic, drilling holes for various pieces of equipment, including cup holders for beer and a cell phone. It began as just a personal organizer, but soon neighbors saw it and wanted their own.

“It was something no one had yet,” said Fabregas. “I like to go out there and play on Saturdays and I was always losing things.” It wasn’t long before retailers were showing interest in the product. So Fabregas, who had never invented anything before, sought a couple patents, and enlisted local companies to produce it. Approximately one year later, the white, half wood, half plastic carrier had been turned all plastic, with six different colors and a couple attachments, and the Garden and Tool Caddy was born. “We’ve always had a great response; it’s just that we’d never had

the time to put enough effort into it,” said Chris Fabregas, Jim’s son. The family traveled around to trade shows, and sold the product online for approximately $20-$25 a piece for several years, before getting a big break. The caddy was picked up by ABC World News over the holiday season as a Made in America gift. More than 5,000 new orders came in, almost overnight, representing more units than the family sold since the product was invented. Now, Chris Fabregas said, many

Forum to focus on real estate Analysts are starting to believe that some parts of the economy - notably real estate, are on the mend. A panel of local experts will discuss whether or not this trend is catching on locally at the Bellevue Downtown Association’s monthly forum, March 28. “Our Real Estate Economy,” will explore the latest facts and figures in the area, leading to a “state of the market” type discussion. Panelists are Suzanne Baugh, director

at Commercial Real Estate Solutions and Cushman and Wakefield; Richard Leider, principal at Trinity Real Estate; and Monica Wallace, senior vice president of Wallace Properties. Jan Morris, of Bank of America, will moderate the discussion. The event begins at noon at the Bellevue Club, 11200 SE Sixth St. The cost is $40 for a BDA member, and $50 for non members. Registration deadline is March 23.

TOOL CADDY

barbecue instruments up on the deck, and a couple more line the walls of a nearby tool shed. Much of the production remains at home. The family uses packaging and plastic companies to make the caddies, though many of the finished products live in the family garage. Thousands of units sit in boxes ready to be shipped. While the caddy has been a big success for the Fabregas family, it carried tremendous risk. Jim said he has sunk more than $95,000 into the project, with the production he described as “the size of a small engine,” costing a hefty $55,000. “It’s a huge investment and risk,” Chris Fabregas said. “But we really believed in it, and so many people said it was such a good idea. We made so many for friends and neighbors that we figured everyone else would want one.”

of the distributors who originally passed up the product are giving it a second look. And, as spring rolls around, the family is expecting at least a few of those 5,000 customers to buy one for a friend. Part of the appeal comes from the universal utility. It has rounded and straight edges so it can attach to wheel barrows or yard waste bins. An attachment for a strap allows the product to be slung over the shoulder while on the move. Brackets are included as well, so the caddy can be screwed into the wall. Jim Fabregas’ use of the product is a 00 testament to his versatility. Upon entering his lush backyard, Garden and Tool Caddies can be immediately spotted attached to bins and barrows, along with several screwed into walls. One holds his

the history of our family: Driving from our hometown of Bend, Ore., – to the big town of Seattle – for the planet’s grandest event of all time: The Century 21 Exposition. Our parents said the World’s Fair was a celebration of the Space Age – a majestic showcase of science, culture and mankind’s destiny. My brothers and I had no interest in any of that. There were rides! The distance from Bend to Seattle is around 330 miles. At our dad’s average driving speed of 180 miles an hour, we figured to be there in well under two hours. But after factoring in stops for bathroom breaks, food, more bathroom breaks – and my regular disgorgements – the trip took two days. As we approached the outskirts of Seattle, we could see the spectacular Space Needle

y parents didn’t take us anywhere. Why would they? We were five brothers (no sisters) who argued, wrestled, cried, pinched and screamed – on any car trip longer than Safeway. We owned a cramped Ford Falcon sedan – which was a slightly roomier version of a Ford Sardine Sedan. As for me, I might have been the least welcome Pat Cashman passenger of the group: the one who reliably got carsick before we were out of the driveway. And yet, in the summer of 1962, we embarked on the most ambitious car trip in

to be riding on, that plan has been on hold for the past 50 years while they work the kinks out of the existing one. Our family loved the Food Circus – with its variety of cuisines from afar. The Italian food was a particular revelation to our family. Previously, we thought Chef Boyardee was penultimate. I remember the Bubbleator, where the famous greeting was always, “Step to the rear of the sphere” – except for the fill-in operator who was on shift the day we were there. He rearranged it to: “Step quickly into the sphere, before the door shuts on your rear.” As our weeklong visit ended, we piled once again into our tiny sedan and headed for home. I recall looking out the rear window as the Space Needle began to disappear (on the far horizon). At that moment, I believed I could see my own future – and whispered to myself: “Someday I am going to return and live here.” But the vision was ambiguous, so I was unclear whether it foresaw Seattle – or Fife.

looming on the far horizon. “Look,” said Dad. “There’s the spectacular Space Needle looming on the far horizon.” That confirmed it. We stayed at a motel that was easy walking distance to the Fair – and the spectacular Space Needle, by now looming on the near horizon. I can still remember standing at the foot of it, looking straight up at its awe-inspiringly majestic height – and wondering if I’d get sick on the elevator ride up. Hedging their bets, our parents kept me away from the Belgian waffles. Some of the exhibits at the fair attempted to show what sorts of gadgets would be commonplace nowadays. Futurists said we’d all be driving around in our gyrocopters. The closest we came may have been the Yugo. It was believed future cities would be encased in giant domes. Good thing that didn’t happen to Seattle – or it would have been blown up after just 20 years and replaced with a new, outdoor city. Scientists were supposed to develop future foods rich in protein. Sure enough, the new 2012 Slim Jim Beef Jerky has a whopping 9.4 grams of the stuff. As for the monorails we were all supposed

Timing makes superintendent search difficult Many candidates reluctant to leave posts BY GABRIELLE NOMURA Bellevue Reporter

The search for Bellevue’s next superintendent has been tough so far. In addition to the narrow time-frame to find someone by the end of this year, Albert Cohen of the search firm McPherson & Jacobson said it’s been difficult in his first week or so on the job.

The Bellevue School Board voted to hire McPherson & Jacobson last week after the only other search firm it had been considering dropped out of the race. Cohen said many qualified applicants he’s reached out to across the country are in their second or third years in their current positions, thus don’t want to leave yet. However, he is staying abreast of the hiring processes in the Seattle and Spokane districts. In addition to making phone calls and sending emails to potential candidates, Cohen said he and his partner, Mike Boring, have also finished a brochure. Cohen emphasized that he and Boring are in phase one and two of their plan to find a superintendent. These include establishing characteristics of the new superintendent and a timeline for superintendent search and also determining advertising venues. The second phase is holding stakeholder input meetings, developing and distributing application and advertising materials and recruiting/tracking applicants.

Hunts Point Snowscape, circa 1910 This Hunts Point home belonged to the Meydenbauer family. Patriarch William Meydenbauer first came to the Eastside in 1869 and staked a claim on the bay that now bears his name. By 1883 he had sold all of his Bellevue property. He tried to buy it back a few years later, but decided that the asking price of $75/ acre was too expensive. In 1906 he bought a piece of land on Hunts Point and built this vacation home. The Meydenbauers were not the only ones with hideaways on Hunts Point in the early 20th century. Hunts Point residents were numerous and vocal enough to merit a complaint in a 1910 editorial from the Seattle paper The

2012 Board of Directors Officers Chair John Marchione, mayor City of redmond vice-Chair David Knight, Commissioner Covington Water district

Water for our Future Message from the Chair

secretary/treasurer Jim Haggerton, mayor City of tukwila

John Marchione, Mayor of Redmond dear neighbors, it is my honor and privilege to have been elected as the chair of the Cascade Water alliance Board of directors. i have served on this board for many years, and am very proud of its accomplishments as we continue to provide clean, safe, reliable water for our residents. to do this, Cascade works with regional partners like seattle and tacoma, and has purchased the beautiful Lake tapps in pierce County. state approval to eventually use this for future water supply was granted last year. Why is this important? Because this beautiful lake is a reservoir that will eventually provide all of us with drinking water. Without this, we cannot grow or prosper as a region.

But our mission at Cascade is to think about tomorrow as well. as our region grows, so will demand. Our residents do their part in saving water every day—from turning off the water while they brush their teeth, by purchasing water efficient appliances and toilets for their homes, and not watering their yards when it’s raining. We as a regional board are entrusted with making sure there’s water in that tap when you turn it on today and tomorrow. that is why we purchased and will maintain Lake tapps to ensure we will be able to meet that demand for the rest of the century.

Bellevue Police arrested 16 in connection with numerous burglaries The Bellevue Police investigation led Bellevue’s Special Enforcement Team to Federal Way, where assisted by deputies from King County Sheriff ’s Office, they arrested three burglary suspects during a high-risk traffic stop. A subsequent search in Seattle yielded stolen property including a firearm. This particular group has been under investigation by multiple law enforcement agencies throughout the Puget Sound area and will potentially close numerous residential burglaries. Police offer the following crime prevention tips: • Be a good neighbor. If you see something suspicious call 9-1-1 • Lock your front doors • Lock your windows even the second-floor windows

• If you have an alarm system, use it. At night, consider setting the alarm on perimeter mode • DO NOT place door keys around the exterior of your home, for example under the mat • Lock your door between the garage and your living space • If you do not have deadbolts consider installing one. A lock is useless if you do not lock it • Exterior lighting at nighttime is a good deterrent to nighttime crime • Start a block watch and neighbor email string • When you are driving in your neighborhood, slow down and look for suspicious activity and call 9-1-1 when you see it

Newport to honor Albo, rename field

REPORTER Q and A | Ebrima ‘E.J.’ Jatta

The Newport baseball program will honor a major piece of its past this weekend when the baseball field is renamed for longtime coach Bob Albo. The renaming marks the first official dedication in an individual’s honor at a Bellevue School District sports facility. “The guys behind it did a great job,” Newport athletic director Gil James said, adding that a group of around five former players spearheaded the effort and pulled others on board. A large contingent of former players is expected Bob Albo for the Knights’ game against Bellevue and other activities throughout the day in Albo’s honor, including unveiling a new scoreboard bearing his name. “It’s cool that those guys who played for him were so passionate about getting this done,” James said. “They were a great group to work with and I could see through this how much coach Albo meant to them.” Albo was a teacher for more than 30 years, including 26 in Bellevue, according to the Bellevue School District website. He coached at Newport from 1972-83 and again from 1992-96, leading the program to a 322-108 record, six conference titles and three state titles. He put more than a dozen players into the MLB Draft. The dedication will begin at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday 24 at Newport High School and is open to the public.

It was a long journey from The Gambia in West Africa, to the USL’s Los Angeles Blues, but for former Bellevue College soccer player Ebrima “EJ” Jatta, the journey has been well worth it. Jatta was the first player from his village to be named to the country’s men’s national soccer team and would later come to the United States to continue his career and education. At Bellevue College, he scored four goals in seven games, including a twogoal, one assist effort against Trinity Lutheran. Jatta recently signed with the Los Angeles Blues of the USL and took some time with The Reporter to talk about his youth in The Gambia and his continued humanitarian efforts there, his time in Bellevue and what the future holds in professional American soccer. BELLEVUE REPORTER: What do you miss most about The Gambia? EJ: My family. I have seven sisters and one brother. I was last there in December for three weeks. REPORTER: After being the first person from your village to make the country’s national soccer team, are you somewhat of a celebrity when you return? EJ: A little bit, it really was a big deal in the village. We have a couple players that have come up since then and made the team and I’m kind of a mentor to them. REPORTER: Why is going back to The Gambia and taking part in humanitarian efforts important to you? EJ: It is something I’ve been doing since I made the national team. I met a couple from the UK that had been coming to the country for a lot of years and we started talking, and they found out I was a soccer player and asked me how I started playing. I told

Ebrima ‘EJ’ Jatta was the first soccer player from his village in The Gambia to make the country’s mens national team and recently signed a contract with the Los Angeles Blues. COURTESY PHOTO them there was a soccer academy and they said they wanted to help. From there, they’ve been helping out with balls and cleats and stuff like that. REPORTER: How much of an impact do those kinds of projects have? EJ: When I was growing up no one believed anyone would play soccer. I didn’t know how, but I knew I was going to do it. So now I give back through the school. They see if I made it, they can make it. Most of the kids who have made it, I have worked with. We have a lot more players from my village making money playing soccer now.

EJ: I was going to play for the Kitsap Pumas, but I came late. A friend asked me if I was going to college and said his son went to Bellevue College and said they had a great soccer program. I decided to go back and get my education. I’m still there taking classes for sports management. REPORTER: Having seen how soccer is received on a local, national and international level, how would you characterize the enthusiasm for soccer here in Seattle and the United States? EJ: I’ve been all around the world for soccer. The passion for soccer is really big in the US. Not everyone

Village Theatre delivers plenty of laughs, surprises Gabrielle Nomura

GIRL ABOUT TOWN

Little did I know when I went to Village Theatre last week that I was in for many surprises involving its newest musical, “It Shoulda Been You.” This show premiered last year at New Jersey’s George Street Playhouse, and has been revised for its second run in Issaquah. First, there was the celebrity sighting in the lobby. “Is that the guy who plays Niles on ‘Frasier?’” I immediately had to ask my friend, Beth, my date for the night. While David Hyde Pierce actually directed “It Shoulda Been You” when

it opened, I’m assuming the “Frasier” alumnus was there to support his hubby, Brian Hargrove, the writer and lyricist with a wicked sense of humor behind the show, described as “Mazel tov with a twist.” After sitting down, I waited in the darkness for a pleasant evening of entertainment. But what happened after the lights went up was epic. The bride, portrayed by actor Mara Solar, is Jewish, the groom, played by Tim Wilson, is Catholic, and the plot, which takes place over their wedding day, is a farce of manners, mishaps and juicy secrets revealed. Neither of the families want the wedding to happen for various reasons, and when the ex-boyfriend

to power-house vocalist Kat Ramsburg, who played the bride’s always-a-bridesmaid sister. With wicked humor and quirky characters, “It Shoulda Been You” was like watching one of today’s top sitcoms, but live and set to song. There were no jazz-hands or old-fashioned pageantry here, but edgy jokes, a frankness about sex and sexuality, and Lady-Gaga-like themes of “Embrace the way you are.” With that said, I’d like to say I finally saw a musical that spoke to my millennial generation. But, from the raucous laughter that shook the room, including the hearty guffaws of a balding gentleman who sat next to me, I’d say “It Shoulda Been You” brought down the house in everyone’s eyes that night.

Leif served in the Civilian Conservation Corps for 12 months in 1938 as a landscaper, serving in North Bend and Port Angeles. After completing an apprenticeship as a shipfitter in the Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, he was obligated to continue duty there at the outbreak of World War II. Later he served in the U. S. Navy, stationed in the South Pacific. He attended West Seattle High School and University of Washington. After the end of the war, Leif hitchhiked to New York, and then visited his relatives in Norway with whom he kept a strong connection for the rest of his life. He met his future wife Gerd at this time. The major part of Leif ’s career was spent at the Seattle Water Department. Leif had a lifelong keen interest in art.

Judith “Judy” Antoinette (Miller) Stallings

Judith “Judy” Antoinette (Miller) Stallings, 69, of Clarkdale, AZ, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2012. Her wonderful wit, easy smile, and loyalty to her friendships will leave a legacy of joy that will sustain those who knew her forever. She was born on December 21, 1942 in Seattle, WA, the daughter of the late Thomas Miller & Alice Miller Calhoon (93) of Kent, WA. Judy graduated from Renton High School in 1961, and received post graduate degrees in Political Science and Foreign Languages from the University of Washington. She married Thomas Stallings in 1982, and they enjoyed life together in Phoenix, Flagstaff, and Cornville, AZ until Tom’s death in 2008. Judy and her beloved Australian Terriers, “Lida Rose” and “Dusty”, moved to Clarkdale, AZ in 2011. Judy was a devoted elementary school teacher in Cottonwood, AZ until her retirement in 2011. She was passionate about making a difference in the lives of her students. As an avid reader, she volunteered in the Cottonwood Public Library each week. Prior to her teaching career, Judy worked in the travel industry and participated in tours to Europe, England, South America, and Mexico. Judy’s love of the Southwest desert and its natural beauty permeated her life as well as her artistic work. Blessed with creative and artistic abilities, Judy was always busy with her quilting, knitting, beading, or stained glass hobbies. Her devotion to training and showing her beloved Australian Terriers over the past two decades was her greatest joy, as evidenced by their many trophies. Judy was the co-founder of The Australian Terrier Foundation that is now in 30 countries. Judy is survived by her mother, Alice Calhoon (93) of Kent, WA; a son-in-law Thomas Stallings & his wife, Diana (Grabiec), of Phoenix, AZ; a daughter-in-law Diane (Stallings) Bauer of Phoenix, AZ; a sister Merrely (Miller) Bantell & her husband Marvin of Renton, WA; and a brother Thomas G. Miller of Olympia,WA. She is also survived by 3 grandchildren and four nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the Cottonwood, AZ Hospice or a Hospice Agency of your choice.

This giant of a man left this world with the knowledge that he had fought the good fight to the very end and that during his life he had achieved remarkable success as a much loved husband, a greatly respected father, a truly committed community leader, a very effective government executive, and a true friend to many. Showing an indomitable steel will, Donald fought a brave courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma for the last six years. Also having Amyloidosis, Donald had to endure chemo continuously for those years; he was currently in his 68th round of nonstop chemo. Worse than the chemo was the MWF dialysis he also faced during that entire time. He met each medical emergency, surgery and broken bone with incredible courage, determination & grace. He outlived everyone’s expectations; his doctors, neighbors and friends referred to him as “the Miracle Man.” Donald was in the Senior Executive Service for the last 14 years of his 36 year career with the Federal Government. He was the Regional Commissioner for the Kansas City, San Francisco and Seattle Regions which entailed being responsible for all Social Security offices in the 12 western states within those regions. His position was the military equivalent of a 4 star General. Donald was Management’s Deputy Chief Negotiator for the first Social Security National labor contract with AFGE. He received innumerable Awards and Citations

for his Outstanding Performance and Leadership during his career. Donald had a B.S. and a M.S. degree and was a trained mediator. Donald was elected Chair of the Federal Executive Board in the San Francisco Bay Area and again in the Seattle Region. In that capacity, he was also in charge of the Combined Federal Campaign (United Way) for all Federal Agencies in Kansas City, San Francisco and Seattle. Donald was very proud to be a Rotarian and served on the Board of Directors for the 200 member Bellevue Rotary prior to becoming ill. He also served on the Board for the Summit Homeowners Association and was Chair of their Architectural Control Committee for many years. Donald was born in Illinois and taught history in High School before beginning his federal career. He married Suzy Schmidt in Kansas City in 1985 and moved shortly thereafter to San Francisco. He has been residing in Bellevue WA since 1991. In addition to his wife, Donald is survived by his son John Mings (Anne Marie) of Orlando, FL, daughter Patti Reno (Tim) of Overland Park, KS, daughter Stacey H. (Jeff) of Spring Hill, FL, and 4 grandchildren: Nicole Dykman (Ben), Andrew Reno, Ellianna H. and Baylee H. He also leaves behind a very distraught 2½ lb Yorkie,Tush, who spent the last six years on Donald’s lap. A party to celebrate Donald’s life will be held at the Summit Clubhouse on April 15th. Please visit the webpage set up for Donald on the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundations’ website and write a “Tribute” to him in the guestbook, and / or contribute to the MMRF in lieu of flowers. http://support.themmrf.org/goto/donaldmings Donald truly was an inspiration to many; those privileged to have known him have benefited from that association. He touched so many and has left this world a better place. 598317
