Bellevue woman killed in Seattle shooting spree Gunman kills five at two locations as another victim survives; finally turns gun on and kills himself as police close in BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
A Bellevue woman was one of five killed in a one-man shooting spree in Seattle Wednesday. Only one victim survived the
shootings, and when police found the killer, he took his own life. Gloria Koch Leonidas, 52, was shot at approximately 11:30 a.m. near Town Hall at Eighth and Seneca Streets in Seattle.
Witnesses saw the woman arguing with the shooter, Ian L. Stawicki, in a parking lot. He shot the woman in the head, police say. He then fled the scene in Leonidas’ black Mercedes SUV. A witness attempted to revive Leonidas, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Several hours later, police found the vehicle in West Seattle at the 4100 block of Delridge Way Southwest.
Earlier in the day, the man entered Cafe Racer Espresso at the 5800 block of Roosevelt Way at approximately 11 a.m., and opened fire. Two men were killed at the scene, while two more people died after being taken to Harborview Medical Center. Police do not know the motive of the man, who shot himself in the head when SEE SHOOTING, 5

It’s cars vs. boats on 520 bridge SR 520 bridge openings latest traffic nightmare BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
Commuters’ greatest enemy on the State Route 520 bridge used to be gridlock. Then it was tolls. But recently, drivers have encountered a new foe: boats. Over the last two months, thousands of drivers have pulled onto
the bridge expecting to pay a toll in exchange for quick passage over Lake Washington, only to encounter an open drawspan on the bridge for boats to pass through. The new issue comes as part of reconstruction of the bridge. Large boats – those over 45 feet – used to pass through the east navigational channel, but construction barges are fortifying the foundation, blocking the path of vessels, said Dave Becher, construction engineering manager for the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Becher said the bridge has opened 29 times since April 1, with the times boats are allowed to pass a result of negotiations between WSDOT and the U.S. Coast Guard. Boats are not allowed to come through the bridge between 6 and 9 a.m., and 4 and 7 p.m. on weekdays. Otherwise, boaters must alert WSDOT at least an hour in advance. However, a few openings have occurred in the late morning, includSEE BRIDGE, 5
The Bellevue School Board has voted unanimously to offer a three-year contract to Dr. Justin (Tim) Mills to become the new superintendent of the district. The vote came during a special school board meeting Tuesday night. Mills, now the superintendent of the North Clackamas School District in Oregon, was one of three finalists for the position, which included Dr. Alex Apostle and Dr. Mark Mitrovich. “I’m very excited about coming to Dr. Tim Mills Bellevue,” Mills said. “It’s a marvelous district. There is a lot of community support and it’s a great district all around. I’m honored.” While board President Paul Mills (no relation to Tim) said all three candidates were solid choices, Tim Mills stood out for his experience and understanding of diverse communities and English language learners. “We felt strongly, and heard loud and clear from the community, that we needed someone who not only can understand our diverse and evolving student and parent population but also help all families thrive in our education system - not just those who speak English,” Mills said. During his visit to the Eastside last week Dr. Mills had SEE SCHOOLS, 5

Bellevue sticking with county for animal control Bellevue decided Monday to stick with King County animal control - for now. However, while the Bellevue City Council directed staff to negotiate a new three-year contract with the county for such services, councilmembers showed interest in a “subregional model,” with the city providing its own animal control officers with costs split among four or five other Eastside cities. Such a plan would be developed for the 2015-16 budget, just before the county contract runs out. Several councilmembers wanted to make
the split now, but they acknowledged that starting a new service so quickly wasn’t feasible. “Getting to a sub-regional model eventually is the way to go,” said Councilmember Kevin Wallace. “At the same time however, cities are not speed boats, they are aircraft carries, and they need time to work on things.” The cities of Kirkland and Shoreline, possible partners with Bellevue, decided recently to extend their contracts with King County. As Bellevue’s contract negotiations with the county progressed, a new twist appeared – a possible countywide levy to pay for
New light-rail options on display at open house BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
The public will have another chance to weigh in on potential changes to the design of the East Link light-rail project at an open house Tuesday. Several changes that could put a large dent in the city’s contribution toward the project will be on display. Bellevue could be responsible for as much as $160 million in project costs. A total of $100 million of that will come through projects and contributions over the next few years; the remaining $60 million could be eliminated if the cost of the project is reduced enough. The changes have come about as part of the collaborative design between Bellevue and Sound Transit. Elected representatives and staff have met numerous times over the past few months to start pencilling out the costs of possible changes. Each of these changes remain in early stages, and they have not been chosen as preferred options. Some of the changes on the table are: Winters House - The historic Winters House is among the
REDUCING PREMATURE BIRTH RISK
Research shows that pregnant women with periodontal (gum) disease may be seven times more likely to deliver a premature baby of low birth weight. What can be done to prevent this outcome? The answer is simple. If they haven’t already done so as part of their oral health maintenance strategy, women should schedule regular appointments with their dentist. These checkups, which involve professional cleanings and assessment of periodontal health, help undercover any problems and initiate treatment. Recent research also shows that expectant mothers who have gum disease are less likely to deliver their babies prematurely if they use alcohol-free mouthwash throughout their pregnancies. This appears to cut the risk of premature birth by about three-quarters. P.S. Periodontal disease has been linked with a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. A growing body of research suggests that good oral health, including brushing and flossing daily, not only cuts down on gum disease and tooth decay, but may prevent serious health problems.

most delicate pieces of property on the light-rail line. Currently, the plan is to bring the train into a trench just to the west of the property, leaving the building unharmed and the entry ways as is. This area has been a topic of conversation throughout the design process, and several ideas that take the train up to ground level could save money. Moving Bellevue Way to the west, and having it cut into the adjacent hill with retaining walls could save between $5 and $8 million. Moving the Winters House 40 to 50 feet east could save $3 to $6 million. Neighborhood Access - Currently, the train dips into a trench, to cross Southeast Fourth Street, allowing the road to remain open. Bellevue and Sound Transit have suggested opening Southeast Eighth Street to neighborhood access in exchange for closing Southeast Fourth, a plan that would save between $5 and $9 million. Downtown Tunnel - The biggest savings come from making changes to the tunnel. Bellevue and Sound Transit representatives have discussed many aspects of the tunnel, including its size, location of entry points, and the placing and design of the tunnel station. As planned, the tunnel station features two entrances, one at the northwest corner of 110th Avenue Northeast and the other between Northeast Fourth and Sixth Streets, near City

Hall. The elimination of a mezzanine floor could save $4 to $7 million and place the two entrances closer together. A stacked tunnel with trains running on top of one another would take up less underground space and could save between $8 and $13 million. Another idea would have the tunnel station near Northeast Sixth Street, across from the Bellevue Transit Center. It would have the station located at the very end of the tunnel. Also, two options, a station in the middle of the City Hall property (savings between $14 and $23 million) and a station bordering Northeast Sixth ($10 to $17 million in savings) have been discussed. Following the open house, the ideas will be presented to Bellevue City Council and the Sound Transit board this month to approve spending more time and resources investigating them.

shelter services for Bellevue, saved nearly 96 percent. Over a three-year contract, Bellevue would be projected to spend $102,000 in costs for the Humane Society contract, compared with $219,000 in the county model. However, the city would face onetime start-up costs of more than $150,000. As part of the new three-year deal, the county promised Bellevue its costs will be kept even at 2013 levels over the life of the contract.

animal services. While no levy proposal has been made, the idea upset many on the council as well as city staff. “The county either needs to find a role to play in the region or it needs to devolve out of the service,” said Councilmember John Chelminiak. “The answer is not a levy, it just isn’t.” Those in favor of leaving the county system argued that a new model would be cheaper, and better for animals. According to comparative figures developed by the city, the county was able to save and release 83 percent of animals, while the Seattle Humane Society, which would provide animal

A solid choice for superintendent
T
hat was quick work by the Bellevue School Board to pick a new superintendent for the district. Dr. Justin (Tim) Mills looks to be a solid choice to build on the excellence of past superintendents. He will replace Dr. Amalia Cudeiro, who stepped down in January because of family medical issues. Mills and the school board are negotiating a three-year contract. Interim Superintendent Eva Collins will remain in her role until Mills arrives and then return to her position as Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. All three finalists for the Bellevue position – Mills, Dr. Alex P. Apostle and Dr. Mark Mitrovich – voiced good Tim Mills positions and made good sense in the interview process. One of the major developments in Bellevue schools has been the growing number of immigrants – and languages – in the classrooms. Mills, 59, spoke eloquently to that issue when he said thatthere not only be an understanding and tolerance of different backgrounds, but also acceptance of them. We need to promote and support that – and it’s something that should not be a standalone in districts,” Mills said, “but something that should be integrated in to our work each and every day, and in to the actual culture of our schools.” We couldn’t agree more. Another strong point: Mills, a musician and former band teacher, looks to be a strong advocate for arts in the schools. As he said at a community meeting on May 24, “I believe the arts provide a tremendous opportunity for students to express themselves.” Again, we agree. Like all candidates who aspire to lead a nationally respected school district such as Bellevue, Mills has a solid track record in past and current employment. He’s been superintendent of the North Clackamas School District in Oregon since 2009 — a district serving more than 17,000 students. He was named Colorado’s Superintendent of the Year in 2009. He also has been a middle school principal and assistant principal and began his career as a teacher in Colorado and Arizona. We look forward to having him be part of the community. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Guard yourself against whooping cough epidemic
G
ov. Chris Gregoire has announced an emergency action to slow the spread of whooping cough (pertussis) in the state. If the pace continues, we’re headed toward the highest number of reported cases here since the early ‘40s. Whooping cough is highly contagious. It causes cold-like symptoms, spreads by coughing and sneezing, and can last for weeks. It’s a miserable illness for teens and adults, but very serious for babies who often catch Mary C.Selecky it from relatives and other adults. Sadly, it has taken the lives of four Washington babies in the last two years and hospitalized dozens more. Prevention is key. Whooping cough vaccine is recommended for all kids and adults. Younger kids must complete a series of five doses of vaccine by age seven for full protection. Immunization exemptions have also played a role in the epidemic. There are pockets of unvaccinated people vulnerable to getting and spreading diseases like measles and whooping cough. There’s a lot of misinformation about vaccines, especially online. It’s
hard to tell the difference between what’s reliable and what isn’t. One way the state is helping parents get reliable information is through the new immunization exemption law. It requires parents to talk with a health care provider before exempting their child from immunizations required for school entry. The health care professional must sign a form verifying the parent or guardian received vaccine benefit and risk information. To find an immunization clinic, contact your health care provider or local health agency. All recommended vaccines are offered at no cost to all kids under 19 through health care provider offices participating in the state’s Childhood Vaccine Program. Health care providers may charge an
office visit fee and a fee to give the vaccine, called an administration fee. People who cannot afford the administration fee can ask the health care provider to waive the cost. Most health insurance carriers will cover the whooping cough vaccine; adults should double-check with their health plan. Making sure you’re current on your whooping cough vaccine is the best way you can help protect the vulnerable in our communities – the babies that are too young to be fully immunized.
Mary C. Selecky has served as Secretary of the Washington State Department of Health since March of 1999. In 1989, she helped create the department she now leads.
Movies just aren’t what they used to be
I
’ve loved movies as long as I can remember. I still recall one of my first theater experiences, cowering in my seat as a 4-year-old — knowing any moment E.T. would spring from the foggy field to give the audience a thrill. The big-eyed alien didn’t disappoint. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Hollywood, which has evolved into one big blockbuster of bore. As June gets underway, we are entering the summer movie season — a time that used to signal three months of bliss for film fans. Now it’s turned into a contest of who can produce the largest box of digital eye candy. Kevin Endejan When done right, Computer-Generated Imagery, or CGI, can take viewers to places they’ve never imagined. But like most things, it only works in moderation — something Hollywood directors obviously know little about. Want proof? Look no further than this summer’s overthe-top “Battleship.” Don’t get me wrong. I like explosions as much as the next guy. But I miss the days of real cars getting blown up. I miss the days of stuntmen. I miss the days when acting and dialogue were valued. There was just something more satisfying knowing it took five pounds of TNT to blow up a limousine and not the click of a mouse. I like knowing a real person put their
body on the line jumping off a rooftop. And I’d much rather listen to a skilled actor deliver a line, than Tatum Channing, or Channing Tatum, or whatever his name is, stutter one-liners while showing his abs from 50 different angles. There wasn’t anything that disappointed me more than the 2010 big screen rendition of The A-Team, a favorite childhood television show of mine in the ‘80s. I know, it was a cheesy show, but the whole premise was based on stunts. One of the lead characters was a stuntman. There were zero stunts in the movie, but plenty of ridiculous green-screen shots — one that included a tank falling out of an airplane, shooting live ammunition, only to be saved by a parachute. Yep, that’s really going to happen. As movie prices go up, the quality of the movies seems to go down. That’s a shame for people like me, who enjoy escaping the summer heat for the dark confines of an airconditioned theater. Sure, movies often provide an escape from reality, but without some semblance of physical existence they just become laughable. Maybe aliens aren’t real, but people could actually reach out and touch E.T. on the movie set. There were no actors walking next to an imaginary alien on a green screen. And for me that makes a huge difference. Keep it real Hollywood, or I’ll be happy to keep the money in my wallet. Kevin Endejan: 425-391-0363, ext. 1050; kendegan@issaquahreporter.com

ing one at 9 a.m. May 24, causing grief for the slightly later commuter. “It’s an unfortunate situation,” Becher said. “We have to balance the impacts to the maritime community and the people using the bridge.” Drivers got at least a small reprieve over the holiday weekend, as construction crews pulled out of the east channel Thursday evening, allowing larger vessels to pass through. The open bridge potentially costs both time and money. For those who know in advance of the opening, they can populate other areas, leading to traffic jams on other routes, as was seen on Interstate 90 Thursday morning. The loss of operation of the bridge also means a temporary loss of revenue from tolling, which is expected to pay for $1 billion of the new $4 billion bridge. It doesn’t just cost WSDOT, it costs commuters as well.

BRIDGE TO CLOSE THIS WEEKEND
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Another major overpass above State Route 520 on the Eastside will be demolished this weekend, forcing the closure of the bridge and highway between Seattle and Bellevue at 11 p.m. Friday. It will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday. The weekend work will install the final 34 girders needed for the new Evergreen Point Road lidded overpass in Medina. The work is part of a project to widen the highway to six lanes on the Eastside, add transit stops in the median and improve neighborhood connections across SR 520. Through the weekend, all SR 520 lanes and ramps will be closed between Montlake Boulevard in Seattle and Interstate 405 in Bellevue. Mandy Emel is a Capitol Hill resident who uses the bridge every day. She commutes to Redmond for work and is happy to pay $7 a day for peak rates if it means getting places quicker. Emel said she has missed two meetings this week due to early morning closures. “I found that - surprise - the bridge is closed, is a huge pain and takes 45 minutes,” she said. “Even if WSDOT does have to close the bridge, why on earth

Throughout the day, police would not say whether the two shootings were related, but witness testimony helped police connect the two cases. “One of the items that witnesses saw at Eighth and Seneca is on him now,” Seattle Police Asst.

Officers repeated the same procedure in West Seattle when the stolen car was found. Officers were able to find the man after a five-hour manhunt. When he was located, Stawicki got down on his knees and shot himself in the head. He lived through the initial impact but died later Wednesday night at Harborview Medical Center.

He said he was impressed by the administration, the classes and the students he encountered, and expressed appreciation for the goals of the district. “There is a very strong tradition [in Bellevue] of believing students can reach the highest level of achievement, and a lot of support for students to get there,” Dr. Mills said. He also spoke to the diversity throughout the district and community, citing it’s richness as a key attribute to Bellevue’s success thus far. Prior to his role in Oregon, Dr. Mills was superintendent in the Mesa Valley County

Dr. Mills said he plans to spend the first few months in his role as superintendent getting to know the district and the people that operate it, especially the teachers, principals and classified staff. The board is working with Dr. Mills to prepare an employment contract, with his expected arrival being early July.

10 arrested in massage parlor sting Bellevue Police officers arrested 10 people and cited three others Thursday for having fraudulent massage practitioner licenses. The arrests are part of an on-going investigation of people submitting suspected counterfeit Chinese school and licensing credentials while filling out the Practitioner Licensing Applications requited by the Washington State Department of Health. The investigations have shown that the individuals suspected of committing these acts were unable to receive the listed massage training in China during the times listed on the applications.
To date, 20 individuals have been arrested by Bellevue Police as a result of this investigation. The investigation began in September, 2011 when the Bellevue Police vice division received information from the state health department and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) that a number of regional massage practitioner’s licenses had been obtained fraudulently. During the Thursday arrests, HSI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection provided Mandarin translators.

An illegal recording allegedly made without the consent of a Bellevue woman accused of illegally occupying a multi-

on June 15, 2010. She was charged with criminal trespassing more than a year later in September 2011. The 7,680 square-foot home had been vacant and unfinished for months before people began living in the home during the summer of 2010, with the occupants saying they were taking possession under a legal concept known as a “living trust.” Former Bothell real estate agent James C. McClung, who was involved with Lane’s case, owned a business that offered homeowners a way to get out from under upsidedown mortgages. He allegedly worked with Lane on pursuing the Kirkland home. McClung pleaded guilty on May 18 to attempted theft charges in a separate squatting case in Shoreline. Lane’s attorney, Andrew Magee, has filed several motions contesting the case and asking that it be dismissed. His latest motion to dismiss the case came May 17 after he found out about an alleged illegal recording last month. Just before Lane’s trial-readiness hearing on April 16, the city prosecuting attorney’s office gave Magee a five-page transcript of the recording. The city said one of its witnesses, Mark von der Burg – the real estate

agent of the $3.2 million Kirkland home in the case – said he used his iPhone to record a meeting between himself, Lane and a First Citizens Bank and Trust Co. representative nearly two years ago at his Bellevue office. Von der Burg could not be reached for comment. Magee wouldn’t comment on what was said during the meeting, but did say the recording was made illegally and without Lane’s consent.

Building wellness through rewards Bellevue company helps businesses get healthy BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
In an era of tightened budgets, companies continue to face increased health care costs as employees confront the issues of stress head on. Many companies have implemented wellness programs, and one Bellevue organization has been on the forefront of building programs for businesses of all sizes and styles. Limeade has been a fixture in the community since 2006. The company helps corporations and small companies alike create programs that leave workers feeling healthier, and more at ease at work. Henry Albrecht, CEO of the company, said he modeled the busi-
ness based on the service provided by his old employer, Quicken. These accounting software programs give people everything they need to track and maintain their finances. Albrecht said he wanted a company that gives people a comprehensive look at wellness, from encouraging emotional behavioral changes like getting enough sleep and being more social, to the physical tasks such as increased walking and biking to work. “What we found is that there are underlying causes to physical health, productivity at work and well being,” Albrecht said. When a company hires Limeade to create a wellness plan, employees
are subject to extensive questioning. They answer surveys related to their sleeping patterns, emotional attachments and dietary regiments. They are then given blood tests to gauge their physical state. After that, the company designs a program based on incentives, such as financial rewards like cheaper healthcare for the employee or career opportunities like a lunch with company executives. The best part, this can all be tracked from employees’ desks. Limeade has created its entire program for online consumption. Physical tasks can be tracked on smartphones and iPods, and goals SEE LIMEADE, 10

underground parking lot with nearly 200 spaces. The centerpiece of the first tower will be a 3,400 square-foot exhibition hall. A second, 18-story tower will be built in the future. Project plans call for the second tower to begin construction in approximately two years. The buildings will feature a windowheavy, curved exterior. The towers will be linked by a three-story podium.
Construction crews broke ground on Bellevue’s first high-rise project since 2008, Soma Towers last week. The development features two towers that will be built on 106th Avenue Northeast. NAT LEVY, Bellevue Reporter

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.

are listed and tracked on specific websites. Limeade started small, but big growth is on the horizon. When opened, the company had four founders. Limeade now has 26 employees, and it will likely double up again by the end of the year. Albrecht said the office will take over the first floor of its building to house the expanded employee base. Albrecht credits the growth to long-term relationships with companies. Limeade counts organizations such as REI, Grouphealth, and Swedish among its 50 customers. The company also lives by what it proposes. Limeade’s brightly-colored office in downtown Bellevue gives off a warm environment. The office is an open space, with comfortable chairs. The conference room doubles as a ping-pong area, and pullup bars sit in company hallways. “Whatever we recommend to our customers, we’ve done ourselves,” Albrecht said.

One of the rarest predictable occasions in astronomy – the passage of the planet Venus across the face of the sun – will take place on June 5. To celebrate this event, which changed the way people comprehend the solar system, Bellevue College will host a “Venus Transit Viewing and Star Party.” The party will feature several viewing stations with telescopes to witness the transit, and each person who attends will receive a pair of special “solar safe” glasses so they can gaze at the sun safely. This once-in-a-lifetime occurrence won’t happen again until the year 2117.

The transit takes place when Venus passes between Earth and the sun, observable as a small black disk moving across the sun’s face. Transits occur in pairs eight years apart. This year’s transit completes the pair that began in 2004. Previous pairs – in the 19th, 18th and 17th centuries – helped scientists accurately calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun and compute the size of the solar system.

Sarah Ladiges was pleased to show off new branding for the Children’s Hospital thrift store now called Bargain Boutique. A 25-year staple in the Overlake business district, the new branding lets people know that the shop is offering high quality used goods, she said. The money raised at the six different locations helps cover the $100 million in uncompensated care the hospital offers children each year. The hospital has a philosophy about never turning away children for financial reasons, she said. CELESTE GRACEY, Reporter Newspapers

Michelle Lui won her first state title as a freshman in 2011 and repeated that feat last weekend, winning both games in each of her four matches to capture the 2B/1B/1A girls singles title for the second straight year. Newport duo Angela Chen and Amie Vo swept through each of their four matches en route to the 4A girls doubles title, finishing with a win over Kamiak’s Alyssa and Jenna Gilbert.
The Knights had two doubles teams reach the semi-finals on the boys side, but both Chris Lilley and Dylan Harlow and Alec Tsutsumoto and Andrew Choi lost and faced one another in their final match, with Lilley and Harlow capturing third place. Allen Kim and Matt Sham lost their first match of the day before storming back to win three in a row, including the fifth place match for Newport. Those efforts were also enough to give the Knights the team scoring title as well.

It was all Interlake in the 2A boys singles bracket as the Saints’ Connor Garnett and Luat Le were both perfect through the first three matches and faced one another in the title match, leading the Saints to the team title as well. As in the South Puget Sound League final, Garnett came out with the win, 2-0 over the defending state champion and teammate Le.

Winners and losers
FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME
Rarely in life are results as cut-and-dry as a win or a loss. And rarely in sports does the final score reflect the complexities that go into what defines winning and losing outside the lines. The Interlake boys golf team took the time to put both of those truths on display last week at the boys 2A state golf meet. Five Saints made the cut to play on day two, giving them the deepest squad in the field. But with Grant Cole and Patrick Sato still dealing with the flu, the uphill climb back to the top began for the defending state champions. Josh Suman Cole and Sato “gutted it out,” according to head coach Scott Marcum, finishing in a tie for 20th and earning crucial team points in the process. Andrew Kennedy and Sam Fisher shouldered more of the load with their teammates struggling, ending the tournament in 12th and 16th respectively. Then there was Andy Liu, and the worst round of his life. Things began ominously when Liu was assessed a twostroke penalty before he even stepped on the course, after arriving two minutes late for the start of his round. The
frustration from being tardy extended into Liu’s mindset, then his swing, parting only after leaving a top-10 finisher from last season with an unheard of 111 for the round. “Andy is such a good player, I wouldn’t imagine him going over 95, or even 90,” said Kennedy, who along with Sato and Liu has anchored the team for its two state titles. Before taking the tee, Liu was hoping to better his first day score of 85 and possibly contend for another top-10 finish at state. After the two-stroke penalty to get things started, much of that anticipation was gone. “I just had to realize that every point and every stroke mattered,” Liu said. “It was for the team.” While winning the tournament quickly went from improbable to impossible for Liu, he knew the team title was still within reach. So as he roamed The Classic Golf Club in Spanaway, managing “the shanks” as Marcum jokingly put it, Liu put the misery and discontent out of his mind and replaced it with the thought of contributing to another state championship. Even if it meant losing in the process. The 111 was good for 40th place for Liu, dead last among day two participants. But thanks to the point system used to calculate its team scoring champions, he and the Saints

team points. Interlake finished in a tie for 11th on the girls side in 2A with River Ridge while North Kitsap brought home the team scoring title. The Saints finished in a threeway tie for ninth on the boys side. Ephrata won the title. Jordan Todd won the 100 meter dash for Interlake in 10.84 seconds and also finished second in the 200. Summer Hanson took the 800 on the girls side by nearly three full seconds. Bellevue Christian’s run atop the state ended in 1A, as the BCS girls finished in fourth place.
did not come away empty handed. For finishing his round Liu earned the minimum one point for a day two competitor, which just happened to be the one point his team needed to hold off Hockinson by a final score of 95-94. “It was unique,” Marcum said of the finish to the tournament and season. “There is nothing like hearing them announce Interlake as the champions, and seeing all my guys get excited together as a group.” They were still excited as they sat in Marcum’s office after school the following week, joking about the round and giving Liu a hard time after hearing he regained his form a day after state, firing a sub-40 score for nine holes. None of the five is a senior, meaning even with the move to 3A coming next season, the Saints will have a legitimate shot to three-peat in 2013. Each knows the field will thicken and the back-to-back titles has made them the hunted among prep golf teams across the state. So what is their plan for defending their title again? At least one member of the team had a sure-fire plan. “Play a little better than 111.”

PUBLIC NOTICES
Smith is very comedic and his performance as Agent J is great. Josh Brolin plays the young Agent K in the late 1960s and does an excellent job of channeling Jones, especially in his voice and expressions. There were many eccentric and funny new characters. One was Boris, played by Jemaine Clement. Another was Michael Stuhlbarg playing Griffin, a peculiar future-seeing alien that aids the Men in Black in their mission to save Earth. Overall, the third Men in Black was hilarious and easily rivaled the original Men in Black films. Anyone who liked the first two films will love seeing the Men in Black back on the big screen for a third film.

Fashion shoot showcases Bellevue’s historic Winters House
Claudia Burgos poses by the front window of the Winters House. COURTESY PHOTO, Staci Bernstein, Hero Labs
Eastside Heritage Center teamed-up with photographer Staci Bernstein and fashion designer Christine Hynden to showcase Bellevue’s historic Winters House in a fashion shoot May 22. Built in 1929, the Winters House (located at 2102 Bellevue Way SE) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features a distinctive Spanish Eclectic architectural styling. Bernstein, of Hero Labs in Bellevue, collaborated with the center to develop a public fashion shoot in order to draw attention to the venue. “The Eastside has amazing heritage and beautiful places, like the Winters House, that are still flying under the radar,” Bernstein said. “I believe that involving
Heritage Corner A look at Bellevue’s past
Center Stage Theatre and Bellevue Playbarn When Dick Willard and George Bell designed the Crossroads Shopping Center in the early 1960s, it was Willard’s idea to add a theater for live performances. Some of Willard’s colleagues were not sure that he knew what he was doing, especially after he poured $85,000 into the building. For the Bellevue Playbarn, however, the timing was excellent. The Bellevue Playbarn was a local acting troupe that had been operating in Bellevue since the late 1940s. The group’s first facility was a barn in the Surrey Downs area, but in 1959 they lost the spot due to rezoning. In late 1963 the group relocated happily to Willard’s new Center Stage Theatre at Crossroads. January of 1964 saw the Playbarn’s first production in its new location: “Under the Yum Yum Tree” by Lawrence
Mark Perry in “The Fantasticks,” the Playbarn’s last show at Crossroads, 1978. COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center, Bellevue Playbarn Collection
Roman. The Playbarn continued at Crossroads for 14 years, putting on four or five shows every year. In 1978 the shopping center underwent a large remodeling project, and the theater had to be dismantled. The last show performed at Center Stage was “The Fantasticks,” which closed in June of that year.

the creative community can help bring awareness to some of the best kept secrets in Bellevue. My only regret is that we only planned one day for the shoot.” The fashion shoot featured Hynden’s Wallflower collection of bold, feminine designs aimed to empower the everyday woman. The “History Brings Fashion For-
ward” collaborative project featured stylist Kim Hicks and models Minwang Liu, Claudia Burgos and Cindy Wang. Eastside Heritage Center partners with the city of Bellevue to provide tours and is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
