Bellevue looking at how to improve downtown traffic

Women’s group celebrates 20 years By Nat Levy Bellevue Reporter
Debbie Graham lost her smile. By age 22, she had been married and divorced, and she became the sole parent of her son. She struggled with problems of self-esteem, and a car accident in 2006 left her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and nowhere to turn. She eventually sought counseling, but it proved too expensive, until a counselor introduced her to Washington Women In Need. She was able to receive a grant from the company to pay for therapy services. It wasn’t long before she was driving again, and a

As Bellevue’s downtown continues to bustle and boom, so does the need to find safe ways for all forms of transportation to exist on the city’s crowded roadways. The City Council considered a variety of transportation options July 9 during a briefing about a plan to ensure that getting around Bellevue’s core is easy and safe for motorists, cyclists, transit riders and walkers. The Downtown Transportation Plan, an update of the 2004 plan, which doesn’t take into account the future East Link light-rail line and RapidRide buses, is intended to plot out needed facilities for all modes of transportation downtown between now and 2030. By then, employment downtown is projected to be 70,300, up from 42,525 in 2010, while the downtown residential population is projected to reach 19,000 a 177 percent jump from the 2010 downtown population of 6,858. The new plan, targeted for completion in 2013, could set the stage for projects as big as new highway overpasses and streets or as small as lane striping, traffic signal timing and crosswalks. An overpass at Northeast 10th Street for bikes and an added lane on Northeast Eighth Street between 106th and 108th Avenues are examples of completed projects identified in the current downtown transportation plan. The update focuses on four modes of transportation: bicycle, pedestrian, transit and roadway. Staff and consultants have worked with the Transportation Commission on the bicycle section of the plan so far, and the council focused on that. Possible bike facilities include east-west corridor improvements on Main and Northeast 12th streets and northsouth corridor improvements on 100th, 108th and 112th Avenues Northeast. Councilmembers asked about ways to make conditions better for cyclists on 112th Avenue, which is part of the Lake Washington Loop route and a key bike commuter route. The intersection with Northeast Eighth Street, with many lanes of traffic in four directions and on- and offramps for Interstate 405, begs for some kind of improvement, councilmembers said. Some ideas have been identified, including a dedicated bike lane or a bike-pedestrian overpass, but city staff members would like to receive more resident input would be helpful for developing a preference or finding new solutions.

A work in progress
T
he 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision to uphold the federal health care law doesn’t close the book on health reform. The court did nothing to make health care more affordable. And unless we actually reduce health care costs, we will simply have dumped millions more people into an unaffordable system. The federal government was a minor player in health care until Medicare and Medicaid were enacted in 1965. Those programs worked for a while, but the baby boom generation that funded the lion’s share of the Medicare and Medicaid taxes through payroll deductions is retiring and will soon become the largest consumers of those benefits. Don Brunell The bottom line is there is no free lunch. Health reform will sink our economy unless we do more to control costs. There are several innovative ways to do that: n Improve competition and reduce prices by letting people shop across state lines for health insurance that fits their needs and budget. n Allow individuals to get the same tax deduction for health insurance premiums as businesses. n Allow people with healthier lifestyles to benefit through lower premiums. n Allow people to keep affordable plans like health savings accounts and AHPs. n Implement tort reform to reduce frivolous lawsuits. Fear of lawsuits forces doctors to order unnecessary tests and causes malpractice insurance rates to skyrocket. Unfortunately, all of these easy, affordable innovations are missing from the federal health reform law. Even though the Supreme Court has spoken, there is much work to be done if we are to realize the goal of improving access to affordable health care. Government must be part of that innovation, not just the traffic cop handing out tickets and collecting fines.
Don Brunell is the president of the Association of Washington Business.

Hanging on to a piece of America N ot a summer has passed without at least one trip to my hometown. Sure, I drop by and say hi to the family, but I also go with the intent of visiting one of America’s endangered species — the drive-in movie theater. I’ll continue the tradition this weekend when I head to Oak Harbor’s Blue Fox. I just hope it’s not the last time. As one of Washington’s six remaining outdoor theaters, the establishment is facing extinction in a few months Kevin Endejan if it doesn’t come up with $80,000 to upgrade to a digital projector. All theaters are required to make the change before January 2013, or they will be unable to show new films. The high cost presents a challenge to anyone, but especially these family-run drive-ins, the other five of which are in Port Townsend, Port Orchard, Shelton, Auburn and Colville. For those who’ve never been to a drive-in, it’s truly an unparalleled experience — especially on the rare warm Western Washington night. My hometown theater charges just $6.50 for adults, or $1 for kids, for, get this, two first-run films. Good
Blue Fox Drive-In Theater in Oak Harbor. luck finding a single matinee price in the greater Seattle/Bellevue area anywhere close to that. The prices are great, but until you’ve laid in the bed of a truck in the middle of a field, bundled in blankets, with the stars shining above you, well, you’ve never really watched a movie. I’ve sat in the fancy recliner-chair theaters with waiters. They’re nice, but they don’t compare. Drive-ins also eliminate many of the headaches that come with traditional theaters. My personal favorite, nobody can come one minute before the movie starts and ask you to move over. If someone is being loud, you’d never know because everyone is blasting the exact same thing through their car stereos. As for the guy kicking your seat, well, that problem can be easily solved. Drive-ins are truly a piece of Americana, but they’re on life-sup-
port. Numbers have dwindled from the thousands in the ‘50s and ‘60s to currently just 365 nationwide. A true shame, but inevitable with the value of real estate. For those who have never been, or haven’t been in years, I recommend a trip out of the city. Support these symbols of better times. They’re might not be many left, but let’s hang on to the one’s we have. Issaquah/Sammamish Assistant Editor Kevin Endejan can be reached at kendejan@issaquahreporter.com or 425-391-0363, ext. 5054.

The dream of a mess-free life C
lutter is a killer. Do an online search for “house clutter stress” and you’ll find more information than you ever want to know about the negative effects of living in clutter, starting with the anxiety that comes from wasting time looking for things. Keys are a good example of objects that disappear in a mess. But lost keys are not the only problem created by clutter: you may lose track of bills and forget to pay them, and be unable to relax at home when faced with so many things to put away and/or clear out. Even though I have space to hide much of my clutter, I realize there’ll never be enough, and when papers pile up on my desk, I can’t find my checkbook, and fabric starts to take over a room, I feel the stress Ann Oxrieder the experts are talking about. Like most people, I can attest to procrastinating when the clutter crisis seems like it could take weeks to solve. We all know that the logical solution to the problem is to rid ourselves of whatever is cluttering our living spaces. However, some of us are tossers and some are keepers and from my experience most households have at least one of each. The next best thing, according to an article on WebMD, is to devote only 15 minutes at a time to clutter removal, starting with the site that is the worst offender. Home organizer Lisa Jacobs says, “It can be a corner, a shelf, the top of the microwave. If you clean up your counter space, you will breathe.” Before reading this advice I decided to tackle three bathroom drawers that held make-up, hair products and an assortment of other items, most of which I couldn’t find when I needed them. Now everything has a place and I don’t waste time looking for toothpaste or the hairdryer. But I’ve been slower to start on the next project, which involves an entire room and a closet. Jacobs’ suggestion is a good one. I feel less like procrastinating when I think about tackling the job in 15-minute segments, lighter hearted, and more confident I can get things under control. And in 15 minutes, I ought to be able to find at least one thing to toss that won’t cause a rift between me and my husband. Now, would someone remind me why I went shopping at Costco as soon as I made my clutter removal resolution?

Bill harms outdoor use A bill has been passed by the U.S. House allowing the Border Patrol to build roads, vehicle barricades, airstrips and dumps on federal lands up to 100 miles from U.S. borders — including places like the Colville National Forest and Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Park where Washington residents have long enjoyed hunting, fishing and hiking. H.R. 1505, the “National Security and Federal Lands Protection Act,” would also allow the Border Patrol to ignore 16 laws that protect clean water and air, and erode efforts to restore prized wildlife habitat on those lands. Let’s hope the Senate doesn’t support this bill that would impact our public lands and that if they try to, Sens. Cantwell and Murray object. We expect our senators to
ensure that our outdoor traditions and access to healthy lands are not compromised.
John and Ronni McGlenn, Washington Wildlife Federation
What’s Obama hiding? So what is the president hiding? It can’t be as secret as the military operational info the White House has been releasing to the public, compromising special operations missions. Why does he need to invoke executive privilege to protect the Attorney General (and the White House staff?) from an investigation about guns being given to the Mexican drug cartel that cost the lives of border patrol and Mexican citizens? Must be pretty bad to hide a potential criminal activity from congressional investigation.

Bellevue’s newest park gets a name
BBQ
The Bellevue City Council officially approved Bellevue Airfield Park as the name for three parcels in the Eastgate area, just north of Interstate 90. The land was formerly owned by Boeing, the Bellevue School District and the city’s utilities department. At 27.5 acres, Airfield Park will be one of the larger of the nearly 80 city-owned parks and recreational facilities. Once fully developed, the park will have lighted, synthetic turf, sports fields; wooded picnic areas and trail connections; a playground; restrooms and parking; stormwater ponds; and buffers between the park and nearby residences. The total cost to implement the master plan is estimated at $23 million, but only $1.6 million is available to complete the design and permitting work for Phase 1 of the project.

New Zero Waste Stations reflect Bellevue’s green goals Jeff Borgida, general manager for Republic Services in Bellevue, encouraged people to visit the Republic booth for recycling tips and giveaways.

At several events this summer, Republic Services will provide its popular “Touch a Truck” program where families can meet the driver and climb in one of Republic’s giant Compressed Natural Gas (recycle trucks. “We have as many questions from the kids as from

The stations make recycling more convenient and the instructions help with waste reduction. “We watched people approach stations with armloads of what could have wound up in the landfill,” Borgida said. “They saw the sign and knew exactly where to toss leftover food and recyclables.

Stations are also going to be featured in movie trailers with Bellevue’s environmental mascot, Carbon Yeti, who typically helps residents learn about reducing their carbon footprint. The movie trailers will run prior to each of the city’s summer outdoor movies and will highlight waste reduction and recycling efforts within Bellevue.

DO YOUR TEETH MATCH YOUR SKIN?
We are all at least somewhat familiar with any number of invasive and noninvasive cosmetic surgery procedures (ranging from laser skin rejuvenation to face-lifts) that are popular among those wishing to eliminate wrinkles, sagging skin, and surface imperfections. As effective as these treatments and procedures are, their effect can be undermined by teeth that are decidedly less youthful-looking. The good news is that dentists also perform an array of cosmetic procedures that can make anyone’s smile as perfect as his or her skin. Such procedures include simple, non-invasive professional tooth whitening and bonding, which cover imperfections and fill cracks with tooth-colored resin. More ambitious procedures range from the placement of porcelain veneers to full crown and dental implants. While the goal of cosmetic dentistry may be to improve the look of a smile, utilizing permanent bridges, implants, or dentures may also improve function, which can have a big impact on overall health. If you would like to know more about how you can enhance your smile, we would be happy to offer you a FREE CONSULTATION at NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY. We’ll help you decide the best cosmetic approach that will work for you.

81-year old Bellevue woman fights arthritis, starts new online business
Lockrem joins Home Street Bank
Keegan Prosser Bellevue Reporter
Bellevue resident Ruth Adams may be 81 years old, but she’s showing no signs of slowing down soon. In fact, she’s doing quite the opposite in starting GardenAtEaseShops.com, an all-service website that sells garden tools and accessories for people with limited hand and arm strength. An avid gardener, Adams suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis, a disease that has severely affected her mobility most her life. And while bouts with the disease have found her bedridden, in a wheelchair and in pain over the years, she said she never let the disease control her life. “In a lot of ways I think it was a blessing because it gave me a sense of compassion and empathy for a lot of people that I probably never would have [had],” she said. When her previous job as a drug and alcohol counselor ended last June, Adams decided it was time for a new adventure. While searching for opportunities online, Adams discovered Prosper Inc., a web-based school that offers lessons in real estate, financial trading and e-commerce in addition to other courses. She figured the program would provide the perfect opportunity to channel her passion for gardening into a viable business. See adams, 8

viable business. “I don’t need a lot of money. I’m more interested in helping people,” Adams said. “And introducing people to the joy of gardening [who] maybe thought they couldn’t do it because of this, that or the other thing.” Before enrolling in the Prosper e-commerce program, Adams had no experience in web design, but with help from coach Beau Graves, Adams built the website - and business - from scratch. The site went live June 29. Serving as the middle person, Adams’ site is a hub for customers to purchase products from Florian Ratchet-cut Pruning Tools, a division of American Standard that specializes in low-impact garden tools. Customers order the products through the website, Adams sends the orders to Florian and the product is shipped directly to the customer. Adams currently receives 50 percent of any product she sells through her site, a mark-up they agreed upon earlier this year. Florian products currently listed on the Adams’ website include Florian Ratchet Pruners, Ratchet Loppers and other ergonomically designed tools. “An ordinary person would have trouble cutting two inches with a regular pruner, but anybody could do it with the ratchet cuter,” said Adams, who contacted the tool company about doing business last fall. Graves said that the thing that really separates Adams from others is her willingness and excitement to learn. “She is completely dedicated to making
www.bellevuereporter.com
this business online work, and she has what it takes to make it happen,” Graves said. He adds that Adams’ site is unique in the demographic she is targeting: an elderly generation with very unique products not found on super market or hardware store shelves. Besides select Sears stores, the only retailer currently selling Florian products in Washington is a feed shop in Enumclaw. In addition to Florian products, the site features items to beautify the garden, including bird feeders, mail posts, and seasonal items like snow roof rakes, a greenhouse, and cedar storage bench. Adams also plans to post bi-weekly blog entries on a variety of garden-related topics, ranging from proper pruning tips to soil evaluation. Most recently, Adams began a series on noxious (non-native) weeds. Also unique to Adams’ website is the fact that all products are made in the U.S. - something she said has been very important to her from the beginning. Adams said she wants to help the American economy get back on track, and was really happy to find a company (in Florian) that doesn’t outsource. Adams said she has probably invested upwards of $8,000 dollars toward her online schooling and the website. And while she admits growing the site is trying at times, Adams’ goal to success forced her to keep going. “It is so uplifting and so stimulating. It doesn’t allow me to think of myself as old.” To learn more, got to http://gardenateaseshops.com. Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602; kprosser@bellevuereporter.com
Mariners share sustainability plans By SAMANTHA PAK Redmond Reporter
Sports and sustainability usually don’t go hand-in-hand – at least in terms of environmental conservation. But Scott Jenkins and the Seattle Mariners are working to change that. As vice president of ballpark operations for the Seattle Mariners, the Mercer Island resident spends his days “greening” Safeco Field and working to turn it into an ecofriendly ballpark. He shared some of their techniques and practices with Redmond businesses during the group’s monthly meeting in June. “We’ve had some unbelievable success,” he said. Jenkins joined the Mariners mid-season 2006 and one of the first things he did was go over the organization’s utility bills and see where they could cut energy use. Since then, the stadium’s natural gas use has been reduced by 60 percent, the electricity use is down 30 percent and water use cut 15 percent. In addition to being good for the planet, it’s also been a plus to the team’s bottom line, saving about $1.5 million at Safeco Field since he joined the team. “It makes sense to conserve,” he said. One of the biggest successes stories has been recycling. In 2005, Safeco Field’s recycling rate — the amount of overall waste that is recycled — was 12 percent. That number has since increased to 81 percent, and Jenkins wants to see it hit 90 percent. To encourage stadium employees and baseball fans to dispose of their waste properly, the team has designated specific
containers for compost, plastic bottles and landfill waste. Corresponding signs and visuals make it easier for people to sort out what goes where. “Signage is key,” Jenkins said, adding that they have saved $95,000 in landfill costs since setting up these “Zero Waste” stations. Another way the Mariners have incorporated sustainability and environmental awareness into the culture at Safeco Field has been through trivia games and giveaways on game days. While T-shirts and bobble heads are commonplace, the Mariners have also been known to give fans kitchen compost containers and potting soil during the last couple of years. The latter, Jenkins said, have been really popular among fans. In addition to encouraging stadium workers and fans to do their part, Jenkins said the businesses, vendors, organizations and consultants have helped, too. For example, buying the correct type of equipment, utensils and products has a significant effect on their programs, Jenkins said. Jenkins is a board member of the Green Sports Alliance (GSA), a nonprofit with the mission to “help sports teams, venues and leagues enhance their environmental performance,” according to its website. The organization started in 2010 and has its roots in the Pacific Northwest: Its six founding members are the Seattle Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders FC and Storm and the Vancouver Canucks and Portland Trail Blazers. Now the GSA has more than 90 team and venue members representing 13 different sports leagues throughout North America. Samantha Pak: 425-867-0353, ext. 5052; spak@redmond-reporter.com
Join QFC to Support the USO When people think of the USO, many think of entertainment and the stage shows that have lifted the spirits of troops in combat and remote military locations around the world. And while entertainment has been and continues to be a valuable service provided by the USO, it is only a small part of the many programs and services provided by this nonprofit organization. Since 1941 the USO, United Service Organizations, has been supporting American troops and their families in a multitude of ways. This is why QFC is proud to support the great work of the USO by making it our Charity of the Month for July. Just about wherever the U.S. military goes, the USO is also there trying to help make the lives of our troops a little bit better. Three of the services that the USO provides to troops in remote locations are Care Packages, MEGS and USO in a Box. Care package items are purchased directly from or donated by manufacturers and are purchased using donations. The USO works
closely with the Department of Defense to distribute packages. MEGS stands for Mobile Entertainment Gaming System. It is a highly durable, easy-to-assemble and disassemble multimedia platform that troops can use to play video games. It supports up to four players and can be set up wherever soldiers are stationed. USO in a Box is small, 250-square-foot portable building that can accommodate up to 20 troops. It has heat or air conditioning for whatever environment it is in and holds features such as Internet access, two rugged laptops, four flat screen televisions, a DVD player, Voice Over Internet Phone and more. Another valuable service is USO Centers. There are over 160 USO Centers in countries around the world where thousands of troops and their families can come to relax, contact loved ones back home, get something to eat and take advantage of various USO programs and services. These centers are often the first support stop for wounded, ill or injured servicemen and women and their families before returning to the U.S.
Back here in the U.S., the USO is constructing two warrior and family centers -- one at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and one in Fort Belvoir, Va. as part of Operation Enduring Care. The program’s goal is to provide physical and emotional support and to help troops restore their wounded lives in a warm and caring environment. Unfortunately, not every military member returns home alive. When troops die outside the U.S., the USO has a program to help their loved ones called Families of the Fallen. The bodies of those who have died
overseas are flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and many families travel there to witness the return. The USO works with families to expedite the travel process to Dover, supports the families’ on-site needs, and introduces parents, spouses, peers and children to special programs to help cope with their grief when they return home. The USO stands an exemplary organization that is making a difference in the lives of thousands of troops and their families. If you would like to support their efforts we invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand. Thank you for your support! Paid Adver tisement

And the work has begun to pay dividends. Though she still admittedly struggles at times to keep her emotions in check and remain focused on the next shot, instead of the last one, Li said she has made great strides, thanks in large part to Nimmo.

Even after working with a host of standouts for both the Knights’ boys and girls squads, Nimmo had no reservations about where Li stands both on the course and off. “She is the most accomplished we have had at Newport, by far,” Nimmo said. “I just have so much respect for her as a person

The Newcastle driving range is in full swing on an overcast June morning as members of the weekday crowd get an early start on the area’s most picturesque course. Among them stands a slightly built teenager neatly sporting a white polo shirt and matching hat, unassuming right up until the moment she takes a swing. The youngster sends charging rising line drives down range and leaves deftly placed flop shots neatly around the flag, all the while looking completely at home. Marianne Li’s comfort level on the golf course is no coincidence. After taking up the game in elementary school at a summer camp, Li became part of The First Tee, an organization with connections throughout the golf world that helps connect youngsters to the sport. While other activities like marching band make her uneasy, the countless hours spent tuning the physical, psychological and emotional aspects of golf has made the course Li’s safe haven. “I used to be on a swim team, but now it’s just golf,” Li said. As her game has progressed, so too has the time commitment. Li said she spends a couple hours per day on the range or out on the course. In an effort to mitigate the impact of the weather, her father created an indoor setup for putting. In addition to her time with the Newport High School squad, which she helped to the 4A KingCo title, Li also
or anyone who has ever played the game, there is no question about it: Little League baseball is as serious as it gets. Travel to any of the dozens of parks that will host all-star games throughout the summer and take in some classic people watching to see what I mean. Adults lose their composure in the heat of the moment and take out their Josh Suman frustration on an umpire or opponent, otherwise levelheaded people undermine one another’s good-faith efforts with derisive and obnoxious chants with players bearing witness to it all. For obvious reasons, their behavior undermines the very reason youth sports exist. But their actions also shed light on an undeniable truth: young people emulate their role models without prejudice. For each overzealous parent or coach that crosses the line, there are ones using the game (complete with successes and failures) to teach lessons that can be applied in the classroom, boardroom or family room as well. More importantly, the kids are following their examples, too. Terry Taylor coaches multiple teams in Bellevue East Little League, two of them posting a combined 53-1 record. When prompted on demystifying such a successful year, Taylor didn’t talk of a team laden with talent or a win-atall-costs mentality that put the Bellevue East Coast A’s. COURTESY PHOTO results ahead of the process. Instead, he painted a picture of teamwork, dedication to the success of the group over the individual and a consistent effort to take care of the details. If the record of his two teams is any indication, the players have followed his example to near perfection on the field. If they are anything like their pre-teen peers, those positive habits will be carried into their experiences at home and in school. At some point, it may even be the motivation they need to make the right choice in a difficult situation. Luckily for them, their coach knows just how important Little League is.

Champions Tour player Jim Rutledge. One of only 81 junior golfers from around the U.S. that took part, Li interacted with professional players and coaches and got a brief glimpse of life on tour. With three more years of high school, Li has more than enough time to decide where her golf career will take her. But she has a hard time seeing herself away from the course for long. “It feels like I’m missing something,” Li said of even a two-day break. The time commitment to golf comes with its setbacks as well, notably the lack of time for socializing.
Along with WJGA, NWJGA, high school and other golf events throughout the year, Li plays piano and was a 4.0 student during her freshman year. As a sophomore, she plans to add to her workload in the classroom, taking a pair of AP classes. But with parents who have repeatedly delivered the message that her own future is where her focus should remain, Li knows her payday will eventually come. “I don’t really have a social life. All my friends tell me all I do is golf,” Li said. “In the long run, I want to be good at golf, not wasting time hanging out.” Josh Suman: 425-4535045; jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

of and complies with the law,” Habib said. “I certainly think it’s possible that he and his supporters want to distract voters’ attention away from the fact that the mayors of Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Medina have all endorsed me over my opponent and that even a majority of his own colleagues on the Redmond City Council have chosen to endorse me over him.” Myers said he has resolved his issues with filing his reports to the PDC and said all of his reports are current and up to date. As of July 11, Habib raised $155,100 and spent nearly $40,000, while Myers has raised $16,347 and spent nothing, according to the PDC website. Voters who heard the survey said it is difficult to decipher who is behind it. If either candidate was responsible for the poll, it will come out July 17, the next PDC filing deadline, according to PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson.

need. Such a broad goal was distilled down into four areas over the years. Grants available to women include: education at accredited institutions, mental health counseling, payment of health care premiums and physical, dental and vision exams. The organization gets its money purely through private donations. With few staff members, the company relies almost entirely on volunteer work, said Board President Shirley Heath, who is entering her fifth year involved with WWIN. Additionally, Pritt gave a generous donation annually, and that has continued, even though she died in 2010. “Julia is still able to support us even after she is gone,” Nitz said. Going forward, awareness may prove the key to another 20 successful years, Heath said. Despite WWIN’s longevity it still flies under the radar for many people. The proclamation from the governor is a great start to reverse that trend. In the last three or four years, the company emphasized technological tools such as social media to spread its message. The website has been updated recently, and online donations are easier than before, Heath said.

Democrat and Republican candidates running to replace retiring Democrat Deb Eddy in the 48th Legislative District plan to file complaints with the state Public Disclosure Commission concerning the lack of transparency with campaign funding. Republican Hank Myers, a Redmond City Councilmember, claims Democrat Cyrus Habib — or one of his supporters — is responsible for a misleading “push poll,” which attempts to influence voter opinion under the guise of conducting an impartial survey without saying who is paying for the campaign messages. Both candidates deny responsibility for the poll, which asked provocative and suggestive questions about both candidates, according to 48th District voters who have received the lengthy, non-automated phone survey. Myers is concerned that the push poll, which makes negative insinuations against both candidates, will lead to personal attack ads. Habib, a Bellevue attorney, said Myers’ push-poll accusations are a distraction tactic and added that he plans to also file a complaint with the PDC concerning Myers’ failure to comply with PDC deadlines. “My opponent has missed several disclosure deadlines since commencing his campaign in May and I do intend to follow up with the PDC to ensure that he is aware

Executive Director Michelle Nitz said Pritt decided to create the company after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Pritt wanted to make a difference in the community. At one point in her life, Pritt was a single mother, having a hard time making ends meet. She hoped to create an organization that would help take some of the burden off women in

Spark Truck visits Bellevue school By Keegan Prosser Bellevue Reporter
Students taking part in Highland Middle School’s Highland Academy summer program got a treat Wednesday morning when the Stanford University-based Spark Truck came through town for a hands-on lesson in experimental learning. Started as an educational program out of Stanford’s d.school (Institute of Design), Spark Truck is an “educational build mobile” that seeks to provide the tools, equipment and expertise needed for hands-on, project-based learning for elementary and middle school students across the country. Operated by a team of Stanford graduate students studying design, engineering and education, the stop in Bellevue was one of many on the team’s “Sparkin’ Across America” tour. “So much of [primary] education is standardized now, and it limits creativity” said Jason Chua, a Spark Team member studying mechanical engineering at Stanford. “We think that bringing back project-based learning is important.”
He said that giving children the opportunity to make something and take it home helps make lessons stick, and something to tell their friends about. During the two-part workshop Wednesday, approximately 50 sixth and seventh-grade students in Bellevue had the opportunity to build their own personal “Creature Match Virobots” - a project that had students imagining their own creature mashups, and then assembling them in to mobile robots using a variety of craft supplies, pager motors and watch batteries. “We’re here to show students, teachers and administrators that it’s not hard to do hands-on learning,” Chua said. He said that getting the students to think critically and try new things is a great way to build confidence. In this vein, students were encouraged to test out, refine and re-imagine their robots until they operated correctly. “They might not figure out all the answers, but it kind of reduces the fear of failure,” Chua said. Following the workshop students had the opportunity to explore the truck, which features a Makerbot 3-D printer,

What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere
Cougars spotted in Bellevue Several people living near Forest Hill Park have reported sightings of a full-grown cougar and its baby in recent days. Three different people have reported seeing the animals near the park, located at 13232 SE 51st St. No one has reported any confrontations with the animals. Neighbors have attempted to increase awareness on the issue by putting up a number of signs in the park warning people about the sightings. Neighbors have also contacted the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
New restrictions on bridge openings Much to the delight of late rush-hour drivers, the Washington State Department of Transportation has adjusted times in which the State Route 520 bridge can be raised for passing boats. Updated rules, which took effect 7 a.m., Thursday, July 5, prohibit drawspan openings 6:30-10 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. weekdays to better coincide with heaviest traffic times. Previously, drawspan openings were not allowed 6-9 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. weekdays. The changes come as a result of negotiations with the U.S. Coast Guard. Public pressure on WSDOT to revise the rules increased after an opening just after 9 a.m. May 24 led many drivers to become stranded on the bridge, while still having to pay a $2.80 toll.
Car theft incidents in Medina Police in Medina dealt with multiple theft-related cases last week. On the evening of July 7, a resident at the 2000 block of 77th Avenue noticed a suspicious person in a neighbor’s yard near the garage. The resident went to confront the individual, but the person ran off. Police said it didn’t appear as if anything was stolen. The next day, an officer stopped a vehicle for speeding in the 2400 block of Evergreen Point Road. A check of the license plate indicated the vehicle was reported stolen out of Seattle a couple of days earlier. The suspect was arrested without incident and booked into King County Jail.
Phone scams hit Medina Medina residents have reported several attempted phone scams. Police say the scam begins when the victim receives a phone call from someone claiming to be a family member (son, daughter, or grandchild) or an attorney
The free community celebration, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., will showcase the mining history of Newcastle.

representing their family member. The suspect tells the victim a family member has been arrested or involved in an accident in a foreign country such as Panama, Canada or Spain. The caller indicates that bail money or legal fees are needed. The victim is then directed to a local office of a money wiring firm to wire the funds to the foreign country. Frequently the victim will receive another call after they have wired the initial funds, with the suspect telling them more money is needed and the process repeats itself. To prevent falling victim to this type of scam, Medina Police say people should always confirm the information being given by calling another family member to verify if the relative is even out of the area. Another option is to contact the family member in question. In addition, police say people should attempt to verify who they are speaking with on the phone and request a full name and badge number if they claim to be a law enforcement officer. Those receiving calls should confirm the agency or business name, and locate a direct business number to call them back. When in doubt, police say, people should call their local law enforcement agency for guidance.
The Bellevue Utilities Department earned an award for outreach concerning household hazardous waste. The Northwest chapter of the North American Hazardous Materials Management Association gave Bellevue 2012 Best Education and Public Outreach Program Award at its annual conference in Spokane on June 28. Bellevue uses a comprehensive approach to educate residents about options for recycling or disposal of common household products containing hazardous materials, such as mercury-containing lights, rechargeable batteries, cell phones, computers, televisions, pharmaceuticals and used motor oil. A wealth of information is available at www.bellevuewa.gov/household_hazardous_waste.htm. The city has partnered with local businesses, nonprofits and other governmental agencies to get the word out about free recycling and/or proper, safe disposal alternatives for these materials.
Newcastle Days coming The city of Newcastle will celebrate its 18th birthday with its annual “Return to Newcastle Days” celebration at Lake Boren Park Sept. 8.

Countywide program wants to spark conversational experience Reporter Newspapers
Riding the bus can be a solitary experience. Some plug in their earphones, look out the window, or take a nap until they reach their destination. But a new communitywide book program for bus riders, Books on the Bus, aims to make mass transit commuting more of a conversational experience. “We are all so busy being in our own different little worlds – being behind our computers, in our cubicles and in our homes,” said Garth Stein, Seattle author of the New York Times best-seller “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” during the program’s launch July 5 at the Kirkland Transit Center. “With mass transit, we all come together with a common goal. We may go our separate ways when we reach our destinations, but for a few minutes we form an ad hoc community on a bus. The Books on the

Bus program will take that community and grow it.” Transportation Choices Coalition, King County Metro, Richard Hugo House, King County Library System, and Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association partnered to form the new program. Each quarter, Books on the Bus will highlight a book for participants to read on their bus rides. The first selection is “Hotel Angeline: A Novel in 36 Voices.” A project of the Seattle7Writers group, “Hotel Angeline” was written live on stage as part of a weeklong collaboration among 36 Pacific Northwest authors. Half of the proceeds from sales of the book will support local literacy nonprofits. The majority of selections will be written by local authors or take place in the Pacific Northwest. During the reading period, riders will have many opportunities to discuss the book — on buses, at stops, or in gathering places across the county. At the end of the reading period, Transportation Choices

will host an event to celebrate the book and encourage further discussion. Stein, who came up with the idea for “Hotel Angeline,” said the Books on the Bus program “civilizes” everything that the book’s authors believe in – a community coming together around books. “Conversation and dialogue are essential to our society,” Stein added. “The act of literature necessitates that a book be read to be valid. This is the epitome of conversation and so stands at the center of our communities.” Several regional and local officials attended the event, including Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee. Lee, who travels a lot internationally, said its universal that people who ride public transportation usually keep to themselves. He said the new Books on the Bus program will create opportunities for others to “know their neighbors” and to break the ice. To sign up for Books on the Bus, visit transportationchoices.org/books.

The highly anticipated “Bellwether 2012: reGeneration” sculpture exhibition kicks off July 13 with an opening celebration being held at 6 p.m. at City Hall. Started 20 years ago with about a dozen sculptures in Bellevue’s Downtown Park, the bi-annual sculpture exhibition has evolved in to one of the largest exhibits of it’s kind. In 2010, the Arts Commission renamed the exhibition “Bellwether” to emphasize a forward-looking approach. For this year’s exhibit, the art commission invited artists to submit works that address the question: “How does a city that has experienced so much change remake or regenerate itself in a sustainable way?” The 44 sculptures and installations selected for the exhibition offer a broad range of ideas for their answers, and use a variety of material - ranging from salvaged wood and bottles to recycled metals and fabric. While artists from all over the United States and other countries applied to be part of the show, many of the pieces selected for this year’s exhibit are from the Northwest. “Within/Without” (right) is a piece submitted by Seattlebase artist June Sekiguchi and is on display at the entrance to City Hall in downtown Bellevue. The piece - made of MDF disks, bamboo, monofilament and enamel - was made in response to Sekiguchi’s experience as an artist-in-residence in Luang Prabana, Laos and is meant to serve as a memorial to Sekiguchi’s late mother. This year, visitors can see the show online and find out more about the art work through cellphone tours. The Bellevue arts program also has a Facebook page and Twitter feed where Eastsiders can find out more about the tour. The art work will be on display throughout downtown Bellevue until Oct. 21; free walking maps and catalogs are currently available at City Hall and online at www.bellevuewa. “Within/Without,” by June Sekiguchi is currently on display at gov/bellwether2012.htm.

How to make this a drug-free summer for your kids A
recent report by The Partnership for a Drug-Free America (www.drugfree.org) brings to light a concerning trend among our kids — the increased use and acceptance of marijuana. The report notes that teens’ regular use of marijuana has increased 42 percent since 2008. To those of us working in youth substance abuse treatment, this is no surprise as for some time, marijuana has been the primary drug of kids Skelton-McGougan in drug treatment. I bring this to your attention because marijuana use in teens can be a predictor of other drug use and risky behaviors. With summer in full swing, it’s an important time to have a talk with kids about the dangers and risks of substance use. The legalization debate has created a lot

Swimming areas to be closed for milfoil treatment
98th Ave. NE) and Clyde Beach Park (9415 Lake Washington Blvd.); on Tuesday, July 17, the swimming area at Newcastle Beach Park (4400 Lake Washington Blvd. SE) will be closed. According to the state Department of Ecology, milfoil is considered the most problematic plant in Washington. Milfoil can drastically alter a water body’s ecology and rob oxygen from the water by preventing the wind from mixing the oxygenated surface waters to deeper water. The dense mats of vegetation can also trap sediments. More information about milfoil can be found on the Ecology website (www.ecy.wa.gov/Programs/wq/ plants/weeds/milfoil.html).
kids involved in summer activities. Help them find a paying job, do some volunteer work, or enroll children in age-appropriate summer activity camps. For teens, there are some great options in music, sports and career-related skills camps. If you suspect a child is using, call a treatment provider. Places like Youth Eastside Services (YES) offer youth-specific assessments that can help you know about what emotional and substance use issues your child may be facing. If you need help talking to your child about drugs, especially in the age of legalization, YES is offering a parent education class on Wednesday, June 27 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. For more information, visit YouthEastsideServices.org/classes.

Residents sought to help cancer study Bellevue residents are being asked to participate in the third installment of a research study by the American Cancer Society. Individuals are needed to become Community Champions and help recruit 10,000 participants in King, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston counties for a cancer prevention study. The study’s goal is to enroll a diverse population of men and women between the ages of 30-65 across the United States and Puerto Rico, to help researchers better
understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer. Researchers will use the data from the study to build on evidence from a series of American Cancer Society studies that began in the 1950s, which have collectively involved millions of volunteer participants. Data from past studies have helped establish such things as the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer.

of confusion and discussion in families about the safety of marijuana. While you may not feel that occasional marijuana or alcohol use is dangerous, smoking heavily during adolescence has serious repercussions in children. It is a fact that teens’ brains are still developing, so they are more easily harmed by drugs and alcohol. We know that adolescents who use substances before the age of 18 are more likely to develop an addiction as an adult — the younger the age, the higher the likelihood. Those who start using before age 14 have a 50 percent chance of becoming addicts as adults. And we know that some teens are more vulnerable to drug and alcohol addiction than others — specifically, teens who have a family history of substance abuse or who suffer from mental health issues. For these teens, prevention is even more important, as recreational or experimental use more
easily results in addiction. We also know the crucial role parents, and other adults, play in influencing teens to live drug-free lives. Following are some tips from The Partnership at Drugfree.org on steps parents can take to ensure their kids have a drug-free summer, and life. • Build a warm and supportive relationship with your child. • Be a good role model when it comes to drinking, taking medicine and handling stress. • Know your child’s risk level — emotional hurts, family history and mental health issue make kids more vulnerable. • Know your child’s friends. • Monitor, supervise, and set clear boundaries and consequences. • Have ongoing conversations and provide information about drugs and alcohol. Sometimes a movie, or a story in the news, can present opportunities to talk about substance use. I also recommend that parents get their

...obituaries Suzanne Joy Shultz
Suzanne Joy Shultz was born in Kansas City, MO, December 17, 1932 to Ella and Myer Lieberman. She was indeed a “Joy” after 2 boys. She grew up in Kansas City, MO and married Joseph Shultz, the love of her life, in 1953. Suzanne, Joe and their 2 children moved to Seattle in 1960. She lived in Bellevue for 50 years. She loved learning, volunteering and owned 2 companies (Celebrations, Inc. and S&J Sales), retiring as a women’s clothing sales rep. She was active in her synagogue, a lifetime member of B’nai B’rith and Hadassah, and belonged to many other organizations. Suzanne was a very special person. She collected friends of all ages everywhere she went. She sparkled whenever she interacted with people and found a way into every heart. Suzanne loved to travel, especially being in her Casablanca condo in Palm Desert, CA where she enjoyed her friends and her passion for the outdoors. Nearly two years ago Suzanne was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and MDS. On that day, her life changed forever. She was unbelievably brave and never complained. No matter how she felt she always tried to help others. Suzanne passed away on June 18, 2012 with her family at her hospital bedside. She was a devoted wife for 59 years, proud mother of Dr. Wendy Shultz Spektor (Michael) and Alan Shultz, and loving grandmother to Jordan and Jeremy Spektor. She is survived by her two brothers, William Lieberman of Mercer Island, WA and George Lieberman (Floriene) of Leawood, KS. Funeral Service was at Herzl Ner-Tamid Synagogue and burial was at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, Bellevue, WA on June 21. Donations in her memory can be made to the Puget Sound Blood Center and Bellevue Medic 1 and 2. 647934

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice! ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery. TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses. Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile. They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab. Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now! SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.
“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.” - Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient
Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...
Our risk free consultation will show you how.
