Levin pushing toward Bellevue arena plan BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
Bellevue has become the center of the latest edition of arena intrigue, even as Seattle and King County officials work on a deal to put a building in SoDo. After more than two years of back and forth discussions with Bellevue officials, Don Levin, the owner of a minor-league hockey franchise in Chicago, is preparing to release a plan to bring a professional hockey team to the Eastside.
The exact details of the plan, including where the building would go, and the complete financing package remain unknown. Levin hopes to release details within the next month. Levin said he wants to pay for a portion of the building through public bonds - which have a better interest rate than he could get on his own - that would be fully guaranteed by a financial institution. “If there wasn’t sufficient funds to pay what needs to be repaid, there would be a
source where they wouldn’t have to chase to get their money back.” Bellevue officials have shown favor toward an arena, if it did not require any public funds. City Manager Steve Sarkozy was not able to be reached for comment. Levin said he chose to create his own proposal for the NHL in Bellevue because he didn’t want to wait around for Chris Hansen, the hedge fund manager behind the Seattle arena, to secure an NBA team first. Franchises rarely go up for sale, and
even then they are tough to obtain, so Levin wants to be able to act quickly should such an opportunity arise. Levin said he has interest from a number of local investors, but none of have signed on yet. His current coalition contains investors from Canada, he said. Levin declined to name a site for the proposed arena, but he has discussed areas around auto row on 116th Avenue Northeast and the Safeway distribution site in SEE ARENA, 6

Bellevue reached a new level of the budget process, as the City Council got its first look at program and project proposals July 30. Councilmembers found that the city can maintain nearly all of its services and complete most of its projects, but the economic situation isn’t conducive to the city taking on many new plans. As part of its Budget One process in 2010, the city restructured its budget into “outcomes” rather than departments. Among those outcomes - responsive government, safe community, improved mobility, healthy and sustainable environment, quality neighborhoods, vibrant caring communities and economic development - city officials presented a total of 200 proposals that could be funded, only two of which were not in the last budget. City budget projections led to the possibility that 12 proposals would not be funded, nine of which were new. “I’m not seeing a very rosy picture long-term, but I would say our effort to recalibrate the budget last year was the right thing to do. It was timely and it has been effective,” said City Manager Steve Sarkozy. Sarkozy will release his budget in October. At that point,

Bellevue mom working to fight children’s cancer By Mary Jean Spadafora
walking to help
Bellevue Reporter
Two years ago, Tina Green’s daughter, Aurora, experienced severe abdominal pain that doctors later diagnosed as a stage three Wilms tumor – a type of kidney cancer that can occur in children. Aurora endured surgery to remove her kidney and tumor, seven rounds of both radiation and chemotherapy, loss of her hair and a rapid drop in weight leading to her feeding through a tube. “It was the worst year of my life,” Green said. “I was in complete and utter fear.” Today, Aurora is 10 years old and cancer free. And her mother continues to give back to the community where she found so much support. Green is helping by chairing the second annual Seattle CureSearch Walk for children’s cancer Sept. 15. The walk, taking place at Magnuson Park, is hosted by CureSearch for Children’s Cancer and will raise money to support research and families impacted by childhood cancer. CureSearch, a national non-profit organization, works with more than 175 hospitals across the U.S. to provide clinical trials for childhood cancer treatment, resources to families and funding for research. Partnered with Seattle Children’s, CureSearch was one of the resources Green first leaned on while Aurora went through treatment.
The second annual Seattle CureSearch Walk will be at Magnuson Park, 7400 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle. Participants can register online (curesearchwalk.org/ seattle) or at 8 a.m. the day of the event. Registration is $10; children ages 15 and under can register for free. Participants also can create teams to raise more funds for childhood cancer.
Tina Green with her daughter Aurora, who survived cancer and a year’s worth of treatment. Mary Jean Spadafora, Bellevue Reporter Through CureSearch, she familiarized herself with the medical care her daughter was receiving and what she found shocked her. Many of the treatments children have received are designed for adults and can possibly lead to life-long effects after treatment. Also, only about 2 percent of cancer research funds are set aside for cures for children. To bridge that gap, CureSearch has sponsored community events to raise money. In February 2011, Green learned the organization was

Now in its second year, the Seattle CureSearch Walk is chaired by Green who participates in the event with friends and family. “Here our kids are our future and they aren’t getting the same research adults are getting,” Green said. “If she ever got cancer again, or any other parents who hear ‘your child has cancer,’ I want them to hear that there are treatments designed just for their kid and their success rate is going to be awesome.” Mary Jean Spadafora: 425-453-4270, ext. 28-5058; mspadafora@bellevuereporter.com

Police seeking help on attempted kidnapping Bellevue Police are asking the public’s help in identifying a male who attempted to kidnap at woman at Crossroads Bellevue Mall. The incident, at approximately 2 p.m. Saturday, July 28, happened when an unknown male drove up to an 18-year-old female in the southeast corner of the mall located in the 15600 block of Northeast Eighth Street and told her to get in his car. When she backed away, he got out of his car, and attempted to grab and lift her, before noticing onlookers. The male jumped into his car and fled the area. The victim, a Bellevue resident, described the attacker as a Hispanic male in his late 30s to early 40s, standing roughly 5 feet 8 inchestall with a medium build, a short buzz-cut and scruffy facial hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. The suspect drove what was described
as a dark green “older model” Geo four-door hatchback with a Washington license plate. The vehicle also had a large dent on the left side of the rear bumper. The attached sketch was created by a Bellevue Police Department sketch artist. If anyone recognizes this person, or was in the area at the time of the attempted kidnapping and witnessed it, they are asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.

Stadium hold up
A
majority of members of the Seattle City Council is now demanding that Chris Hansen, the man who wants to build a basketball stadium there, share some of the projected arena tax revenue with the city. Shocked, we tell you. Shocked. Hansen wants to build a $490 million stadium in Seattle’s Sodo area with $200 million from Seattle and King County. Stadium proceeds would pay back the city and county. However, the city is full of activists who don’t want public money involved at all. And some groups – the Port of Seattle, for one – say a stadium will hurt the area’s maritime business. Here’s a solution: build the stadium in Bellevue. Hansen and his backers, along with Don Levin, an owner of a minor league hockey team in Chicago who wants to bring a National Hockey League team to the area, have the millions to build a stadium on their own. Sure, it would be more expensive than having county and city governments involved. But it also would mean they wouldn’t have to deal with the ongoing political drama in Seattle. That alone would seem to make it a wise investment.
Thumbs
For Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper for not referring to the man by name who is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 at a movie theater. Some psychiatrists say that gaining notoriety can encourage people to commit violent acts. “In my house, we’re just going to call him ‘suspect A,’” Hickenlooper said. An audience of thousands broke into cheers and applause at Hickenlooper’s remarks.
For Ed Ray, president of Oregon State University and chairman of the NCAA’s executive committee, for declaring, “We’ve had enough. This [whatever-it-takes-to-win philosophy] has to stop.” Ray was commenting on penalties imposed by the NCAA on Penn State following the conviction of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky of molesting children. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Don’t forget to vote, seriously I
t’s election season! That also means it’s the best and worst time of the year for political reporters. It means endless fodder for stories, issues coming to the forefront and of course negative campaigning. Yes, most of these things still are a months down the road, but primary season is important, too, even if it doesn’t seem that way. In Washington, we have a Top 2 primary that allows Nat Levy the two candidates getting the most votes to advance to the General election. If people want to those finalists two Democrats or two Republicans, that is their prerogative. On the other hand, many of the
races in our backyard already feature only two candidates, rendering the primary somewhat useless on first look. But this is less of an annoyance than it is a chance to get to know the candidates better before the final vote in November. For most people, voting doesn’t always require the greatest amount of research. A lot of people find the man or woman their party endorses and go with that. Not only is that irresponsible, but also is exactly what many fear to be a weakness in our form of government. David McCollough, an American historian and author once said, “An uninformed citizenry will be fatal to democracy.” This sentiment rings true at all levels of government. Our primary can help us become a more informed citizenry by by letting us get involved in the process earlier than just a week or two before elec-
tion night. And it’s not like there aren’t interesting races. By getting into the debate earlier we can learn about Adam Smith’s four challengers in the new 9th District that now includes Bellevue. Under the assumption that he will advance, wouldn’t anyone interested in voting for someone other than him want to know everything they could about Jim Postma, Tom Cramer, John Orlinski and Dave Christie? We also have on the Aug. 7 ballot a proposal to build a new Juvenile Justice Center in downtown Seattle, a one-time property tax of 7 cents per thousand of assessed valuation.

STOMACH ACID CAN DAMAGE TEETH
Chronic heartburn not only poses a problem for the stomach and esophagus, but it can also have a damaging effect on teeth. According to a study of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), almost half of the people suffering from the condition were found to have tooth wear and erosion that was significantly worse than healthy individuals. Over time, the acid that leaks into the esophagus may work its way into the mouth and cause tooth enamel to thin and become pitted. The damage caused by stomach acid appears much like common tooth wear, with tooth flattening, sharpening, or cupping. Because enamel is gone for good once it disappears, it is important to get GERD under control. P.S. People who suffer from binge-and-purge eating disorders are very likely to show signs of serious tooth erosion. Is chronic heartburn one of your worries? If you have dental concerns as a result, we invite you to call us at 425.641.4111.

the Bel-Red area, both of which are to be serviced by the coming of East Link light-rail in the future. However, Levin hoped to have an arena built by 2015 or 2016, long before the rail line is projected to open in 2023, according to Sound Transit. Levin’s leap into the public eye comes as Hansen’s proposed arena in Seattle’s Sodo district moves forward. Hansen’s proposal received a 6-3 yes vote from the County Council July 30. The county will contribute $80 million in bond financing should Hansen secure both an NBA and NHL team. The Seattle City Council may ask for a number of modifications to the deal. If the deal changes too much, the county will have to take a second vote, likely in the fall. The County Council added a few changes as well,

which include an economic analysis study to be financed by Hansen, pedestrian paths to the arena from nearby light-rail stations and city and county ability to renew financial statements on the arena. “It is time to get started,” said Council Vice Chair Jane Hague, who represents Bellevue. “This does not presuppose the final outcome, nor other mid-step votes, but this is a great opening salvo.” Whatever the conclusion from the city and county, Levin said he plans to move forward. He believes the area is only big enough for one arena, and in the end Levin said his willingness to start construction before a team signs on board could vault him ahead of Hansen. “I believe there will only be one building built,” he said. “The question still comes that nothing happens until an NBA team is acquired. That’s the hold up. How long may that take” Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.co
sion items at those meetings. Planning Director Dan Stroh told the council its largest projects - such as East Link obligations, plans to extend Northeast Fourth Street from 116th Avenue to 120th, and widening of 120th - will be affordable. Furthermore, the city likely will be able to accomplish these projects without raising taxes. The city is battling a $31 shortfall in its seven-year capital project budget, but a $25 million council contingency, coupled with borrowing $6 million from future capital revenue, should make up for the problem.
What remains in jeopardy, Stroh said, are some of the smaller projects: installing sidewalks around the city, and long-term needs such as the completion of enhancements to West Lake Sammamish Parkway. “These needs go far beyond what can be addressed with current resources,” according to budget documents prepared by staff. The council is required to complete a budget by December. A final public hearing will be held Nov. 19. Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com
Two Great Organizations Dedicated to Helping Kids consists of three organizations, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation. Children’s Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. It has 254 beds and a staff of over 1,200 professionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000 patient visits, including visits to off-site clinics. Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds of diseases and disorders in fields such as cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Doernbecher Children’s Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland and is now affiliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in several communities
around the state of Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington. Like Children’s Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is quickly translated into new treatments. Specific areas of research include cardiology,
neurology, weight regulation, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research. Both Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital believe that children should have compassionate, family-centered care. Both are at the
forefront of pediatric medical research so that they can advance new treatments in their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the

In a perfect world every child would be happy and healthy. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But fortunately, many of those young people who have health issues have two premiere northwest institutions to turn to for some of the best pediatric care in the country. They are Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Oregon. QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our charities of the month for August. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to advance new treatments. Children’s Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless of race, religion, gender or a family’s ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million in uncompensated care in 2011. It has consistently been ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pediatric and adolescent referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Children’s

On July 31, the first of these cranes was erected by the Halvorson Construction Group, one block east of the Bellevue Library on Northeast 12th Street. The crane will be used for the construction of the Park Metro Apartment Homes, a six-story, 74-unit apartment building by the developer Evergreen Point Development 12th, LLC. “We purchased the land back in 2007,” said Alex Morcos, partner at Evergreen Point Development 12th, “with the intention to build high end condominiums at the time”. The process eventually stalled due to market conditions. In 2012, the developer updated the design to offer apartments instead, and construction started in April. A ground Breaking ceremony was staged to coincide with the crane erection on July 31. The building is expected to be completed summer 2013. The Park Metro combines 74 units in a mix of one and two bedroom apartments with spacious surroundings and high end amenities and finishes.

of excess belongings. An estimated $7,000 worth of unused stuff takes up room in the average American home, he said. In response, Huzar and his partner, Arean van Veelen, created OfferUp, a mobile-based app that allows users to take photos of items they want to sell and buyers can view and purchase them instantly. The service, which Huzar said launched June 26 for the iPhone is available online as well, and an app for Android will be created in the near future. The joy in OfferUp, Huzar said, is its simplicity. While Craigslist can require many steps, OfferUp is a quick process that can lead to the product being posted to Craigslist as well. “If I have 50 items I can get them online in a few minutes, whereas it would take a whole day on something like Craigslist,” Huzar said. Huzar is proud of the increased security his site brings as well. Users can sign up with a service called TruYou, which has

Huzar, who has worked at T-Mobile and Microsoft, previously founded Konnects in 2004, a social media site that he thought could have been the next Facebook. Huzar says mobile commerce will soon dominate the shopping world, whether it is straight exchanges through mobile sites, or just another way to get people in brick and mortar stores. Among all users, Hopscotch, a downtown Bellevue consignment store may be the most excited about the service. Kimberly Kasin founded the shop six months ago when she had a basement full of outgrown children’s clothes to get rid of. She started putting items in the store on OfferUp, and things flew off the rack. It also brought more people to the store. “As a store owner, it is great because when people come in to buy the thing they want, they often will buy other things from the store,” she said.

On Thursday, Aug. 2, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue and Federal Way, alongside Wild Waves Theme Park, unveiled a 70-foot mural in the Kiddie Land section of the theme park. The collaboration, which came about as a way to encourage artistic expression among youth, found the participants not only designing, but also painting, the large-scale mural as part of the club-run summer camps last week. As part of the project, the kids submitted design ideas for the mural. Once the designs were selected, participants worked together to draw, paint and outline the images on the panels.

Gabrielle Abbott works on a chalk art painting in front of the Bellevue Arts Museum July 28. Her first year at the fair, she continued an 11-year tradition for Bellevue. In addition to her work, children were invited to fill Sixth Street with chalk art of their own a few feet away. Celeste Gracey, Bellevue Reporter
Paint the Streets BY CELESTE GRACEY Reporter Newspapers
The artist’s face is pensive as she studies a Picasso on a print out. Her fingers, caked in color, slide across the concrete. With each stroke of chalk, she transfers his brilliant colors to the sidewalk outside the Bellevue Arts Museum. While hundreds pass Gabrielle Abbott by the hour, none are more fascinated than the children, who often try to join the game. “I think it makes fine art accessible to everyone,” Abbott says. To complete the experience, a bucket of chalk greeted families just a few feet away. Sixth Street belonged to their creativity through the ARTSfair July 27-28. While chalk art, or street painting, dates back to the Renaissance, there are only two known street painters in Northwest. Abbott was invited to Bellevue for the first time this year, when long-standing fair artist, Brian Major, made another commitment. She first encountered the art form in Florence, Italy, where she studied classical art for three years. She joined a guild and gave it a try. Although she cried when she had to leave her first painting, she’s grown fond of the idea that beauty is temporary. Street painting is her form of a Buddhist Mandala. When she arrived home at Seattle, she decided to test the city. She set up camp at the Westlake Center park. “I just wanted to see how it’d go over,” she said. As expected, a police officer told her she really wasn’t allowed to paint the street in chalk, but it was so cool he wasn’t going to stop her. He did, however, ask her to call the
park manager and ask for a commission. She’s returned each year since, now paid for her work. Unlike the pastel colors of sidewalk chalk, she uses artist chalk and powdered pigment mixed with water, which can be applied with a brush. “It’s not fussy or refined,” she said. “It’s very tactile.”
Top, performing artists won the crowd’s attention behind Bellevue Square Mall. Hundreds of artists gathered to sell their work in downtown as a part of three simultaneous arts festivals July 27-29.

Bellevue adds more electric vehicles to fleet Taking the next step to cut costs and greenhouse gas emissions, the city of Bellevue added three electric cars to its fleet last week. Purchased with the help of a federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant, each $40,000 Chevrolet Volt can go 35 miles on battery power. An onboard gas generator can produce electricity for an additional 340 miles, but it is expected that most staff would use the car in electric mode. Incorporating electric vehicles into the fleet is part of broader environmental and economic actions the city has taken through its Environmental Stewardship Initiative. Steadily replacing gas cars with hybrids over the past several years, the city now has 120 hybrids, more than half of the 230 passenger vehicles in the fleet. According to the city, having a large portfolio of high-efficiency vehicles saves more than $100,000 and 30,000 gallons of gasoline each year, and reduces annual fleet carbon dioxide emissions by 250 metric tons. “We are not only being good stewards of our environment but also of tax dollars by gradually transitioning to a cleaner,
greener fleet,” said Mayor Conrad Lee. The average commute trip in King County is 22 miles per day, a distance that can be accommodated by almost all freeway-approved electric vehicles. To encourage hybrid and electric car usage, the city installed 14 public charging stations throughout Bellevue in late 2011. Six new stations will be installed at city facilities to accommodate the fleet vehicles. Combined with chargers provided by commercial property owners, Bellevue boasts more than 50 public-use charge stations (locations at www.afdc.energy.gov/ fuels/electricity_locations.html). “Charging overnight at home will generally accommodate people’s daily needs, but we want to help relieve “range anxiety” by ensuring that there is a reliable network of publicly available charging stations as a backup,” said Sheida Sahandy, leader of the initiative. According to the city, Bellevue’s investment in charging stations is also paying economic dividends, with luxury electric car makers Tesla and Fisker choosing to site showrooms in the city.
You know flossing is important – now learn exactly why it matters Here are three simple tips you can try to help make your flossing experience easier.

Improper or incomplete flossing increases risk of gingivitis, periodontal disease and even tooth loss.
Let’s face it, no one likes to floss. However, flossing is one of the most important ways you can protect your mouth from cavity-causing plaque and gum disease. Consider this: every tooth has five surfaces that need to be cleaned, but when you skip flossing, you’re leaving two of those surfaces virtually untouched! In fact, experts say that flossing accounts for about 40 percent of the work needed to remove plaque from your teeth. Your new Bright Now! Dental office in Bellevue wants to remind you that daily flossing is a vital part of your oral health. Proper technique and daily use are essential. Take your time, keep the floss tight against the surface of each tooth, and avoid putting too much pressure on your gums. If you need help perfecting your method, just ask your Bright Now! dentist or oral hygienist during your next visit. You can find Bright Now! Dental in Bellevue, Issaquah, Woodinville, Tukwila, Seattle and Kent.
Choose your floss wisely: Make sure you choose the floss that’s right for you. If you have large spaces between your teeth, try using wide, flat floss. With teeth that are tighter together, use thin floss that you can easily work between your teeth. One is not necessarily better than the next; the best floss is the one you’ll use daily. Don’t skimp on the length: inches long. This will give you plenty of length to wrap around your fingers for the solid grasp you’ll need for proper flossing. As the floss becomes dirty or weakened by fraying, wind the floss around your finger to expose a fresh section. Don’t let a little bleeding deter you: If your gums bleed when you floss, it’s not necessarily an indication that you’re doing something wrong. Often, bleeding is a sign that plaque is causing inflammation in your gums. This should subside once flossing becomes a regular habit and your gums become healthier. With daily practice, proper technique and a little patience, flossing can be as quick and easy as brushing.

Girls offered photo shoot in exchange for old prom gowns

BY MEGAN MANAGAN Reporter Newspapers
Any girl who has been in high school in the last 10 years, can attest to the closet of formal dresses they leave behind. The question becomes, what to do with them? Photographer Danielle Ness, who owns Criativo Photography, is offering girls a photo shoot in their dresses, after which the gowns will be donated to Ruby Room, an organization in Seattle which collects dresses to give to girls who couldn’t otherwise afford them. “It’s a win, win, win situation,” Ness said.” “It helps Ruby Room, the girls who are going to be getting the dresses and it’s fun for the girls who are donating.” The photo sessions for what Ness is calling the “Rock the Dress Drive” will be about 20 to 30 minutes each, and will take place on Aug. 15 at Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island. Ness plans to pick a different spot in the park for each girl who signs up. Girls interested can sign up with Ness and should come ready to go, with their hair and makeup the way they’d like it in the pictures. Each girl will receive a free 5x7 print and
Girls will receive a photo similar to this one when they sign up for the Rock the Dress Drive on Aug. 15. COURTESY PHOTO, Danielle Ness a photo for Facebook. “(Girls should) come wearing other clothes because she’s going to be giving me the dress, so she’ll need clothes to change into,” said Ness. Ness will also be accepting donations of dresses other than the ones the girls want to wear in the picture, as well as accessories, including jewelry, shoes and purses. Ness is taking reservations for the event via email at danielle@criativophoto.com, through Facebook at www. facebook.com/criativophoto or by calling 425-890-7801.

Leadership Eastside joins Together Center Leadership Eastside has joined the campus of Together Center, a one-stop human services campus serving East King County. Leadership Eastside applies advanced leadership principles to help people work together while increasing their value to their organizations and their community. Leadership Eastside joins a list of agencies that have joined the campus with the exit last year of Hopelink, which outgrew its space. They include Lake Washington School District Transition Academy, Apprisen Financial Advocates, and Learning Disabilities Association of Washington. National Alliance for Mental Illness Eastside and Habitat for Humanity of East King County both moved into larger and improved quarters on campus. Friends of Youth is currently renovating the former food bank area for their homeless youth services. “While Leadership Eastside is not a human service provider, as are most of the tenant agencies that support our mission, we believe that the campus, our agencies and community leaders will benefit from Together Center’s partnership with Leadership Eastside,” said Together Center’s Executive Director Pam Mauk.

or amateurs of any sport, few things are more exciting than playing with a professional. The chance to talk shop with someone who shares a passion for the games we love and couples it with skills we can only imagine can be an opportunity to rediscover how tightly wound the ties that bond us to sports truly are. At the fifth annual Golf Fore Red event at the Golf Club at Redmond Ridge on July 28, two pros, Erin Menath and Molly Miller, were on-hand in an effort to show that tie holds firm on both ends. Mary Robinson started Golf Fore Josh Suman Red in remembrance of her late mother, who passed at age 49 from heart disease. Previous work with other heart-health foundations had whetted her appetite, but ultimately lacked the passionate involvement she sought.

That comes as a blow to Barnard and the rest of the Robinswood Super Seniors, who have made two trips to Nationals in the past six years.“These women are very competitive,” Barnard said. “We’re there to play hard and win.” Barnard hasn’t always been a dedicated player, picking up the game after college and getting her start with a $3 wooden racket. But it didn’t take long for her natural inclination for the game to arise. It only increased after she relocated to the West Coast and said Robinswood has finally provided an outlet that incorporates friendship and tennis. “The competitiveness is so much fun and the physical aspect is great,” she said. “It keeps me healthy and it doesn’t get any better than that.” Barnard added that the team will make sure its voice is heard by the USTA, and is planning to craft letters to make their feelings on the changes known. But for now, the team is focused solely on 2013 and a chance to enjoy another trip to Nationals, even if it may be their last. “We’ve all become friends,” Barnard said. “The plane rides, sharing the camaraderie, we make it about more than just tennis.” Members of the Robinswood Super Senior women’s tennis team: Lucy Zapf (Sammamish), Joan Zintak (Sammamish), Lucille Barnard (Sammamish), Linda Mate (Bellevue), Susie Pochop (Bellevue), Suzanne Dodd (Bellevue), Marcia Skewis (Bellevue), Geri Aslin and Lois Mustonen.

Eastside FC wins soccer tourney
While Athletes for Kids already serves disabled youth in and around Bellevue, its work in the city is mostly concentrated on the east side of the city limits near Issaquah. Bretl hopes to soon extend beyond the few alcoves where the group is already present. “We know the demand is there,” Bretl said. “The community of parents of kids with special needs is large. They talk about things that have worked for their children.” Bretl added that she has been in preliminary talks
with the city of Bellevue and Eastside Pathways, an organization that connects those in need with outreach groups. She said talks with a newly formed PTA in the district specifically for parents of special needs children are also in the initial stages and could move forward as soon as the fall, when Athletes for Kids will make a formal presentation. “Hopefully we can get there someday,” Bretl said. “Bellevue has always been one of the places we want to be.”

The other was the mother of LPGA golf professional Molly Miller. “It’s really important to me,” Miller said of promoting heart-health awareness. “This is a great event.” As players arrive at the 18th hole, where Miller and fellow golf pro Erin Menath from Golf Tech in Bellevue are waiting to play a ball for the group, their excitement is palpable. The women laugh and chat about the playing conditions before hitting their tee shots and taking off down the course. “The most impressive thing is to see all the women show up at a really early hour, wearing red and excited,” Robinson said. “It’s almost overwhelming.”

For youngsters with disabilities living in Bellevue, there could soon be another option for mentoring. Athletes for Kids, a wildly popular non-profit organization that started in 2001 and pairs prep athletes with youngsters with disabilities, has long been interested in integrating its program into the Bellevue School District in similar fashion to what it has done in Issaquah. Sammamish resident and mother of three mentors Teresa Bretl has been the driving force behind the program in the years since taking over for founders Ken and Liz Moscaret. “I look for someone who has a sense of compassion,” Bretl said. Not feeling sorry for someone, but having empathy.” Since Athletes for Kids began at Skyline High School, around 400 kids with disabilities have connected with 430 prep athletes from a host of Eastside high schools, building a life-altering friendship for both. Bretl’s next mission is bringing the program to the Bellevue School District.

Bellevue welcomes annexed areas BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
Bellevue welcomed more than 5,000 new residents to the city with a party at the South Bellevue Community Center on July 26. The party was not only a chance to celebrate the milestone of annexing residents from Eastgate, Tamara Hills, Horizon View and Hilltop, but also an opportunity for education. Representatives from nearly every city department were on hand to greet new residents and tell them about city services. “We’re happy it’s finally happening after all this time,” said Will Austin, who has lived in the area for a year and a half. After hearing about the annexation effort from a neighbor, Austin signed petitions, put up yard signs and found more people to sign up. He also started to volunteer with the city. Among all services, Austin said he is most excited about having Bellevue Police protection. Austin recalled an event

happening at a maintenance yard within Bellevue’s city limits, but because he lived in the unincorporated area, he had to call King County Sheriffs. Lower taxes don’t hurt either. According to city figures, the owner of a home assessed at $382,800 (the average in Eastgate) will pay $467 less in taxes and fees per year. Property taxes will decrease by $978, while storm water fees and utility taxes will rise $511. The city faced a loss of about $1 million annually by taking in the new residents, but a state program that allows Bellevue to collect a portion of sales tax which would have gone to the state, made the move financially possible. Councilmember John Chelminiak has been involved with the issue since he was first elected in 2004. He was excited to see the happy new residents. And to get the issue off the city’s plate. “It’s always been an issue that’s been here,” he said. “I was just really glad to get it going.” Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

Who’s making news in Bellevue and elsewhere
Heritage Center
The Barnabee Estate In 1894 Seattle banker Jacob Furth constructed a twostory “Victorian farmhouse” on Yarrow Point. Jacob’s wife, Lucy, planted the surrounding 22 acres with plum trees and ornamentals and named the estate “Barnabee” after Henry Clay Barnabee, one of her favorite stage actors. The home had 10 rooms and a wide verandah that encircled it on three sides. A wood-burning fireplace and a coal-burning cook stove provided heat. Electricity was generated from a boiler in an outdoor “electric house.” The Furths, and their descendants the Wetherills, used Barnabee as a summer home in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 1940s one of the Furths’ granddaughters, Marjorie Wetherill Baird, made it her permanent home. Much of the land from the original Barnabee estate is now part of the Wetherill Nature Preserve.
