Bellevue family hopes son can beat the odds By Celeste Gracey Reporter Newspapers
Already the mother of two premature babies, Tricia Berstch knew what developmental delays looked like. But her newborn son, Calvin, was struggling with something more. It wasn’t just the hole in his heart, sleep apnea or the fact that his acid reflux was so severe he needed feeding
therapy. Calvin would turn two, before doctors would discover he had Mitochondrial disease (Mito). His cells don’t produce enough energy, often sending him into metabolic crisis. In a few hours he can go from a happy 4-year-old running around a park to a catatonic state with a 104-degree fever. To help the Lakemont family with his

There is only a 20 percent chance that Calvin will live past his teen years. The older he gets, the more problems he could face, but it hasn’t gotten in the way of Calvin’s joy for life.

In the family home, giggles bounce off the secondfloor ceiling as Calvin and his older siblings tickle each other until they squeal. “You watch him on days like this and you think, maybe he’ll be in the 20 percent,” said Brian, his father, “but you have no idea.” Calvin’s diagnostic journey has been long, and it’s far from over. At two he received a feeding tube. He has to use the machine while he sleeps, because he can’t go longer than three hours without sustenance. This year he was diagnosed with seizures. He’s also beginning to have cognitive problems, which could be caused by a second disorder. They’re hoping the run Sunday will raise enough money to pay for the genetic testing to determine the cause. Last year the $10,000 paid for a more sterile environment. Brian tore up the carpets and installed wood floors. For Tricia, the run also provided hope. “I looked out and saw a community of people, and I realized our family was not alone.”
Kemper Development Company is moving forward on the long-awaited expansion of Lincoln Square in downtown Bellevue.

Police seek help to ID burglary suspect An unknown suspect, or suspects, committed a residential burglary near Bellevue Square on Sunday, Aug. 12, taking approximately $13,000 in property including electronics and jewelry. Later that morning, a female suspect used the victim’s stolen credit card at Bellevue Square Nordstrom. The suspect is described as a white female, approximately 32 to 35 years old, brown hair, 5’2” to 5’5”, 130 to 140 lbs. She was wearing a white, black and purple sundress and carrying a white purse and white Pomeranian dog at the time of the theft. A second suspect is described as a white male, approximately 30 years old, 6’0”, medium to thin build, and bald head with a thin face. In similar burglaries, Seattle Police say male and female burglary suspects were captured on video using credit cards stolen from a residential burglary. The female suspect carried a small white Pomeranian dog under her left arm. The suspect’s vehicle appears to be a dark colored 1990s Chrysler Sebring, police said. The female appears to be the same suspect in the Bellevue burglary case. If anyone has information on this person or can identify her, they are asked to contact Bellevue Police Detective Jim Lindquist, 425-452-7653 or jlindquist@bellevuewa.gov.

The Washington State Department of Transportation need more than 300 volunteers to help conduct the fifth annual bicycle and pedestrian survey from Sept. 25-27. Organizations like FeetFirst and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington also will be involved. Past surveys showed that bicycle use is highest on trails, bridges and in downtown areas. The highest pedestrian counts were recorded near universities, in downtowns,
near transit stations and in neighborhoods with mixed residential and commercial areas. The information gathered this fall will be used to track progress toward the state’s goal of increasing bicycling and walking in Washington. Those who are interested in helping can learn more by visiting WSDOT’s Bicycling website, or by contacting Cascade Bicycle Club at tessa.greegor@cascadebicycleclub.org or 206-2040913.

done more than 3,000 Fallen Heroes portraits nationwide as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom. Reagan draws two portraits a day and, he says, each one takes about five hours. All of his portraits are done for free. “It’s about love. You can’t rationalize why I’m doing what I’m doing,” said Reagan. “People have a hard time believing I’ve given up everything to do this.” Reagan has drawn famous celebrities, presidents and the pope, but he said his work with the Fallen Heroes Project gives him something spiritual. “The day I’ll stop doing these portraits is the day before someone has to do mine,” said Reagan. Reagan survived the summer of 1967 at Con Thien, a major battle ground during the Vietnam War. He said it was there that his friend died in his arms. “He looked up at me and said, ‘Mike, I just want to go home’ and I watched him go,’” said Reagan. “It’s a vision I have every day.” And it is this vision that drives him to send these portraits all over the world so that people can see their loved ones, with eyes that are full of life, one last time. Donations for Reagan’s art can be given at FallenHeroesProject.org.

For many, mid-August symbolizes hot weather, beaches and a lackadaisical life style. But for Kirkland resident, Linda Clanin-Swanberg, this time of the month reminds her of the last time she saw her son. “He came home seven years ago for two weeks in August on pre-deployment leave,” said Swanberg. “He was just really anxious to help his buds, I’ve never seen him so eager and ready to just do what he’d been trained to do for the last nine months.” Lance Cpl. Shane Swanberg told his mom in 2005 he’d see her in just “seven short months,” but was killed just 10 days after his deployment to Ramadi, Iraq in early September. He was 24 when he died. Bellevue resident Robyn White shares a similar tragedy after her son, Joseph White, died on deployment in Afghanistan in 2009. Joseph had just gotten married a few months prior. But on Thursday, Aug. 16 friends, family and the fire department gathered around two planted trees with plaques and patriotic flags at the Redmond Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2995 to remember the young men for their time served. John Kenny of VFW decided to plant the trees after Swanberg showed him a tree last year that her coworkers at the city of Redmond planted for her. Swanberg is the fire prevention administrator assistant of Redmond. White said the memorial was meaningful to her because she knows “he’s being remembered and not forgotten.” “He died doing what he wanted to do and
Robyn White, of Bellevue, tells the story of her son Joseph, who died while serving the U.S. military in Iraq. He was recently married before his death in 2009. Raechel Dawson, Kirkland Reporter we’re proud of him,” said White. Swanberg said after her son’s death, his “marine family” became her family. “They call themselves my sons and call me mom. It’s just awesome,” said Swanberg. “It’s a real warm feeling in the midst of devastation.” She then joined an organized support group called the American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. There, she met White and developed a unique friendship. “It’s one of these connections that I can’t explain,” Swanberg said. Swanberg said when new Gold Star moms

Thumbs Up for Felix Herhandez, down for politicians
I
C
For Felix Hernandez for pitching a perfect game for the Mariners on Aug. 15. It’s one of the rarest feats in sports. Hernandez has had a love affair with this area ever since joining the team years ago. Based on the fan’s cheers at that game and his next one, the feeling is mutual. He’s known as King Felix for a reason.
D
for U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, the Missouri congressman who is running for the U.S. Senate. Akin commented that women’s bodies automatically protect them from impregnation after “legitimate rape.” How does a person get to be a candidate for U.S. Senate and still be so ignorant or uninformed?
D
for our own candidate for U.S. Senate, Michael Baumgartner, who fired off an email to a journalist that contained an “F-bomb.” He later apologized, saying the comment was meant to be part of a personal email. We’re pretty sure the journalist took the comments personally.
D
for presidential campaigns that stick local police agencies with high costs to provide security. President Obama’s latest fundraising foray to the Seattle area cost the Bellevue Police Department $28,817 in overtime to provide about 60 officers to secure the Hilton Bellevue Hotel where Obama spent the night. The Bellevue Fire Department paid more than $12,000 in overtime to have about a dozen medics and hazardous-material experts standing by. In all, local law-enforcement agencies spent about $100,000 on security. We’re all for protecting the president, but there should be a way to compensate cities out of the millions raised for reelection. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Wisconsin reforms could help our schools
A
mid the swirl and controversy of the recall election in Wisconsin, the underlying policies the state legislature enacted more than a year ago by passing Act 10 have been steadily implemented. Now that the dust has settled, it’s a good time to review the changes Wisconsin enacted, and whether they offer practical ways our own lawmakers can improve public education for Washington’s children. Paul Guppy The issue is especially pressing because our state Supreme Court ruled in the McCleary decision that the legislature needs to provide better public schools. A new report from Wisconsin shows the reforms adopted there have freed up millions in new dollars for public education. This is good news for Washington’s cash-strapped lawmakers. Here are some examples. n Madison Schools: With the savings from Act 10, the superintendent of the state capitol’s schools announced plans to expand kindergarten, open a new middle school, offer a free employee health benefit option, and avoid any teacher layoffs. n Kimberly Area Schools: A new health plan saved $821,000, and employee pension contributions will save a further $1.3 million, allowing more funding for programs that benefit children. n Neehah Schools: The school
board in this small-town district saved more than $4.5 million through policy changes made possible by Act 10. n Green Bay Schools: School officials saved $12 million through collective bargaining changes, without increasing class sizes or cutting programs for students. n Racine Schools: The school board realized $25 million in savings, mostly through a more affordable health plan and increased employee retirement contributions. Wisconsin’s experience reveals the core strength of our country – we are not a monolithic nation run by a single central government, but a united federation of 50 republics. This unique civic arrangement, brilliantly conceived at our founding, allows for a great deal of experimentation. One state may try an idea while the other 49 watch. If the idea works, it’s worth imitating. If it fails, it can be safely ignored, with no effect on the lives of most Americans. Washington lawmakers can learn a lot from their Great Lakes colleagues. Rather than increasing property taxes or other revenue, Wisconsin-style reforms could allow lawmakers to make better use of existing revenue and improve the education of children, all without raising taxes or laying off teachers. Paul Guppy is vice president for research at Washington Policy Center, a non-partisan independent policy research organization in Washington state. Research assistant Marina Giloi assisted with this column.
’ll be the first to admit I’m a passionate person. I’m passionate about writing: I’m pretty sure I wrote my first story in Kindergarten – it was about my mom’s red van, and it was awesome. I’m passionate about reading: I read the final book in the Harry Potter series in 17 hours. Fact: I took no breaks, there were lots of energy drinks involved and I may have cried. Several times. Keegan Prosser I’m passionate about music: I’ve been to more concerts than I can even remember – and have been known to skip a meal (or two) to afford that coveted ticket. Frankly, it’s my job to be in tune – locally, nationally, internationally, in the Twittersphere. I’m a journalist. As a professional, this is a good thing. But as a regular person, I might be a creep. The daughter of Mrs. 21 Questions, herself, I’ve spent most of my life asking away: Who? What? When? Where? Why? It’s just second nature. Which is why jumping in to this industry just made since. But in recent months, I’ve realized that what I consider “passionate ventures,” others might consider “weird.” So what if I know how many Twitter followers WhatsHisFace has. And who cares that I know when and where that one local musician is playing next week. And maybe, just maybe, I know every word to every one of their songs. Is that creepy? I think it’s just part of the job. Having said this, I’ve had my fair share of being in situations where I’ve known a bit too much (thank you, Facebook). And I’ve been in even more situations where I know way too much (thank you, Twitter). So maybe I’m creep? Nah. “I’m a journalist.” Keegan Prosser is a writer for the Bellevue Reporter.

A BRIDGE TO SOMEWHERE
In cases where several teeth are missing or the adjacent teeth are not sufficiently strong to serve as abutments (anchors) for a fixed bridge, a removable restoration may be used. A partial denture consists of a framework that fits along the gums and other soft tissues of the mouth; attachments (clasps and rests), which connect the framework to remaining natural teeth; and artificial (prosthetic) teeth that are mounted onto the framework. Unlike fixed bridges, partial dentures are not permanently attached to underlying (prepared) teeth or implants. Instead, they derive some of their support from the gums and jawbones upon which the framework sits. The metal framework of a removable partial denture never touches the gums, so sore spots are almost never an issue. Over time, as the mouth naturally changes, it will likely be necessary to adjust the denture. Nearly everyone who has one or more missing teeth is a candidate for a dental bridge. One of our many valuable services we provide at NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, is a thorough and complete examination. Virtually all dental problems - decay, gum disease, jaw joint difficulties and loose teeth are easily detected in their early stages and can be treated most economically and comfortably at that time. Find us in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue. We’re currently accepting new patients and we welcome you to call us at 425.641.4111.

Why Felix Hernandez is perfect
“No one is perfect … that’s why pencils have an eraser.” – Author unknown “When you aim for perfection, you discover it’s a moving target.” – George Fisher “You kids are perfect slobs.” – Mrs. Cashman, long ago to Pat and his brothers.
D
wayne Billadeau (not his real name) was a kid who went to my school. Everybody said he was the perfect kid. He was uncommonly good-looking, consistently polite, a straight A student and the best athlete for his age in town. And Dickie Cooley (not his real name) hated him for that. One day, Dickie challenged Dwayne to meet him after school for a fight. Dwayne showed up at the appointed time. Five seconds later, Dickie was flat on his back nursing a fat lip and three missing front teeth. Moral? It’s perfectly stupid to challenge someone perfect to a fight. Merriam-Webster defines perfection as “being without flaw or defect.” That would pretty much describe the day Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez had last week when he threw a perfect game. That means that not one of the opposing team’s hitters managed to get to first base – either from a walk, a hit – or by cab.
www.bellevuereporter.com
In the century and a half of pro baseball, that hasn’t happened very often. In fact, a perfect game used to be considered as rare as hen’s teeth. But now, even that comparison has been ruined since scientists managed to actually breed chickens with teeth a few years ago. (True, according to the infallible Internet.) So why would scientists do that, you may wonder? In order to make a perfectly good expression obsolete, that’s why. (Scientists are now working on finding something even finer than frog hair.) But back to the perfect game. Only a baseball pitcher can have one. A basketball player can make every shot, score 150 points – and still not have a perfect game, because he didn’t score 151. A football quarterback can throw perfect spirals all day, but if his receivers drop them, he looks like a doofus. Even a baseball hitter can come to the plate five times – hit a grand slam Pat Cashman home run every at bat, thus driving in 20 runs – and still not be credited with a perfect game. Only a pitcher can be perfect. But of course being Mr. Perfecto on one outing might make a pitcher feel lousy if he doesn’t do it the next time. And no one ever has. Even Felix couldn’t manage it – and even if he did, each subsequent time he pitched, there would come a point when fans would start to yawn. Perfection, after all, can ultimately get boring. That’s why there will never be a perfect political candidate. It would require someone to admit their mistakes – and if they made mistakes, they’re not perfect. Incidentally, Dwayne Billadeau showed up for a class reunion a couple of years ago. He’d been married and divorced four times – and had lost a pile of money in the stock market. Dickie Cooley, on the other hand, while never married, had made it big as a motivational speaker. His teeth, by the way, appeared perfect. Pat Cashman can be reached at pat@patcashman.com. He also can be found at his podcast at peculiarpodcast.com.

Spring District hits a hurdle Development moving forward despite several unresolved challenges By NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter
The Spring District may be Bellevue’s next big development, but not everyone is on board. The mixed-use project in the Bel-Red corridor will go in front of the city’s Hearing Examiner next month to hear appeals from a number of parties. When Wright Runstad, the company behind the office and retail development, submitted paperwork earlier this year, it ran into three different appeals. These appeals, which came from Kemper Development Company, Woosley Properties and Brian Derdowski, a resident of the nearby Lake Bellevue neighborhood, allege that the city did not scrutinize the project as much as it should have during environmental review periods. More analysis of traffic impact from the development as a whole, rather than the individual buildings, is needed, the appellants argue. “It is important to understand that (Kemper Development) does not see the Spring District project as competition,” according to Kemper’s complaint. “However, the traffic impacts of the development … if not mitigated by traffic improvements can have significant adverse impacts on the city.” Wright Runstad President Greg Johnson said the company complied with all of the city’s land use and zoning ordinance when
The first buildings visitors will see when they enter the early phases of the Spring District are two office buildings that developer Wright Runstad recently submitted plans for. The buildings will feature glass construction throughout to ensure employees are treated to great views. COURTESY PHOTO it applied for a master development plan, an extra step because of the size of the development. “I’m not sure what more we would need to do at this stage,” Johnson said. “Each building that we do is going to be subject to additional reviews that would also include traffic.”
The Hearing Examiner process, which resembles a municipal version of a trial, will begin Sept. 5, said city spokesman David Grant. The process could last as long as eight days, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Johnson said the appeal will not slow down the project. Wright Runstad recently submit-
ted design review paperwork for two of the development’s buildings. The buildings, located at 1227 124th Ave. NE, are to be the gateway into the 36-acre development, according to project documents. The buildings will be 11- and 9-story office See spring district, 8

Business Roundup
Wallace’s capitol hill complex fills up
Businesses and business people making news
Bellevue attorney honored Roxanne Eberle, an attorney at Bellevue’s Wild Sky Law Group, received the Washington State Association for Justice’s 2012 “Ready to Soar” Award at its annual convention. The award acknowledges the achievements and contributions of attorneys in practice less than five years who have demonstrated excellence and professionalism in their legal practice. Eberle was nominated by her peers for her efforts to “protect and promote a fair justice system.”
City continues marketing effort
Wallace Properties has leased 100 percent of the 107 homes in its newest apartment community, Citizen of the Pike Pine, in less than four months after coming to market. Each of the Citizen’s 107 homes offers modern design and an attention to detail that fits the busy city lifestyle of Seattleites. Rents range from $1,100 to $1,900 a month. Each unit includes large windows, stainless kitchen appliances, and a full-sized washer and dryer. Bike racks and EV car charging stations are installed in the parking garage to encourage eco-friendly transportation. Located at 1222 E. Madison in the Pike Pine triangle of Capitol Hill, the apartments are within one mile of downtown Seattle’s business district and half a mile away from a Link light-rail station scheduled for completion in 2015. courtesy photo

towers, with a total square footage of approximately 476,000, excluding the parking areas. There will be 5 levels of underground parking with approximately 1,100 parking stalls total. Johnson said construction will likely start in the second quarter next year. The company is in the market attempting to acquire tenants, but nothing has been signed as of yet. The project includes demolition of 346,489 square feet of warehouse. The west wall of an existing warehouse will be retained as part of the building for Bellevue Brewing Co. The construction of the gateway buildings also includes the creation of roads and pedestrian improvements for the first few phases of the project. The infrastructure will be paid for by Wright Runstad, with a goal of creating a visually pleasing, and easily accessible, environment for workers in the two office towers, Johnson said. “We’re going to focus on making the ground floors and the sidewalks very pedestrian friendly and then use a lot of glass in the office towers so people are able to have terrific views,” he said.

phases of development Development of the Spring District is expected to occur over the next 15 years. The developers broke the plan down into seven phases. Phase 1a - Developers want to begin work in 2013 with the first phase, which involves the construction of 10 new residential buildings, two office buildings with ground-level retail and a park. This development will occur on the southeast end of the property near the intersection of Northeast 12th Street and 120th Avenue Northeast. Phase 1b - (2015-2018) - This phase will add four new office buildings with ground-level retail. Phase 2 - (2015-2023) - Two buildings will be demolished, and the new streets, Northeast 15th/16th will be built. Concurrently, a East Link lightrail station will be constructed. Phase 3 (2020-2022) - Developers will build five new office buildings, and a half-acre park. Phase 4 (2022-24) - This phase marks the construction of a signature hotel on the property. It will also add another entrance and a plaza to the East Link station and will be located between Northeast 15th and 16th Streets, off 120th Avenue Northeast. Phase 5 (2024-26) - This development, located just north of the hotel, adds three commercial buildings, and one residential one. Phase 6 (2026-28) - The final phase occurs on the northwest end of the project. Developers will add one office building and one residential complex to the site.
The Bellevue City Council heard an update Aug. 6 on efforts by Visit Bellevue Washington, a marketing effort started last year to promote the city to out-of-towners. Councilmembers were told that estimated visitor impacts on Bellevue in 2011 included 848,000 overnight visitors and 405,000 “day-trippers” who spent an estimated $484 million in the city, generated $44 million in local and state tax revenue, and accounted for 7,634 jobs.

Taste of Main brings good eats and good deeds to Old Bellevue By Nat Levy Bellevue Reporter
Hundreds of residents descended upon Old Bellevue Saturday to stuff their stomachs for a good cause. The fourth annual Taste of Main took over the historic area as restaurant vendors, galleries and many other businesses on the block participated in the charitable event. Proceeds from Taste of
Main go straight to the Children’s Response Center, a program out of Harborview Medical Center that provides services for children and teens who have experienced physical abuse, sexual assault or other traumatic events. The center also provides healing through critical services offered to non-offending family members. Businesses helped out in the effort by sponsoring the
event, with packages starting at $250, said Sally Martinez, community affairs coordinator for the center. The event also featured musicians, silent auctions, a car show, and special children’s activities. Philanthropic foodies helped the cause by buying a passport. For $40, they received the chance to try samples from some of Main’s most iconic restaurants. Among the most popu-
lar vendors at the festival was Cantinetta. The Italian hotspot, which opened an original location in Wallingford, has taken part in the event for three years. Saturday, head chef Emran Chowdhury was on hand preparing a dish composed of heirloom tomatoes, topped with a burrata cheese, similar to a creamy mozzarella, and olive oil, that people couldn’t pass up. “We always like to be part of the community,” he said. “That’s what we try to be with the restaurant, a community gathering place.” For some restaurants it was a way to help the community, for others a way to get their name out there. But for the Children’s Response Center, the Taste of Main has been a gamechanger. The organization serves north and East King County. Though Bellevue is known for its affluent population, trouble for children still exists. According to her figures, in 2011 Bellevue had 511 child abuse victims. “People think it doesn’t happen in our community,” Martinez said. “But it is here and we are the ones seeing the children and helping them heal.” Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

Hope, help for 2012 Primary election results finalized math without tears By Nat Levy
Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.
Totals for the 2012 Primary Election were certified this week, with few surprises. Turnout came in at 40 percent in the county, and slightly less than 39 percent statewide. Turnout came in lower than the projected 52 percent on the county level, said King County elections spokeswoman Kim Van Ekstrom. It was better that fewer votes were cast, she said, since projections guide the county in terms of staffing levels for the election. Among statewide races, the favorites will move on to the November General Election; many local seats only dealt with an incumbent and a single challenger. Locally, the primary race of interest came from the 9th Congressional District. It was the first chance for Bellevue to cast votes in this district, and the majority of votes went to
incumbent Rep. Adam Smith. He will face off against Jim Postma, who was Smith’s challenger in the 2008 race.

Online sexual education resource available for families King County Sexual Assault Resource Center is launching a new web-based toolkit to help parents have conversations with their teens about sex and safety. “100 Conversations gives adults concrete, practical ways to reduce the risk of sexual assault and it’s what our young people are asking for,” said Mary Ellen Stone, the center’s executive director. Focus groups conducted with young people in King County showed that most youth already do many things to keep themselves safe. However, they also clearly stated they want to hear from their parents on subjects related to relationships, sex, and safety. More information is available at www.kcsarc.org.

s a kid, math was never my strongest subject. It was terrifying, mystifying and it always got the best of me. In first grade, I’d take the easy way out and get David Lloyd to do my subtraction. As we got older, David wised up, and I was on my own. I’d ask my dad for help and he’d explain long division, or polynomials and I’d stare at him as if he were speaking another language. Or my attention would wander over his shoulder and I’d notice the nail holes on the wall, or the loud tick of the apple shaped kitchen clock. When his explanation was over, my response was a blank stare or dramatic sigh. Irritated, he’d explain it to me again … only this time a little louder. I’d start to cry or shove my papers around the kitchen table in frustration and his nostrils would flare like a bull. How hard could it be? By the third explanation he was yelling, er, explaining in a booming voice. Darcy Brixey “Dad, stop yelling!” “I’M NOT YELLING AT YOU!” This is exactly the reason my mother wouldn’t let him teach me to drive. Now I’m faced with the same dilemma as my son starts to get math homework that needs a little help. I don’t want to make him cry over math. Diagramming sentences, maybe, but not math. Luckily, there is plenty of math help available from your local library. The King County Library System has a tutoring program available called Study Zone. Volunteers are available at the Lake Hills and Bellevue libraries to help your students through history, language arts, and of course, math. For a full Study Zone schedule please consult the website at www.kcls. org/studyzone/. After the libraries close, there is still access to a professional tutor. Under our Research and Homework link, there is another option for Live Homework Help. KCLS subscribes to this tutoring service and it is available to students from 2 p.m. to midnight daily. The tutors are background checked and are experts in their field. They are teachers and graduate students. The software from Live Homework Help allows students to upload a document for proofreading help, use a whiteboard for math, or receive assistance for conjugating French verbs. This service is also available in Spanish. If you don’t have a library card, now is the time to get one. Enjoy an evening of math without tears.

An estimated 5,000 people from all over Washington attended the the birth of Krishna, one of the Hindu religion’s most revered deities, at the Vedic Cultural Center in Sammamish on Aug. 9. The event was marked by displays depicting the story of Krishna’s birth, celebratory chants and free food. Redmond has been voted the
fifth best place to live in the country, according to Money Magazine. This ranking comes as part of Money’s list of America’s best small cities for 2012. Some qualities that put Redmond in the top five are the city’s “historic buildings, quirky shops, eateries and brewpubs” that mingle with “colorful condo and retail developments with public art and giant evergreens.”

two-acre parcel of land downtown into a “signature” gathering space. The park, at 16101 Redmond Way, already has taken some shape with the creation of a large open, green space on about half of the planned park site. The city plans to start the master planning process for the park early next year.
An apartment fire in Kirkland
Aug. 17 damaged six apartment units. No residents or firefighters were injured. Four of the units had fire damage on the inside and the other two had smoke damage, said KFD officials. All the residents were able to find family or friends to stay with while the fire department conducts the investigation.
The Sikh community in Bothell held
a candlelight vigil Aug. 15 in honor of the six people who were killed on Aug. 5 during a shooting rampage in Oak Creek, Wis. The Bothell temple has been open for just over two years and regularly welcomes about 500-700 Sikhs from Bellevue to Everett. There is another temple in Renton.
Bellevue sets natural yard classes Fall program a hit with residents By Nat Levy Bellevue Reporter
Fall is an important season for many homeowners, with the prospects of planting the seeds for a captivating display of greenery next spring. But this doesn’t come without environmental risks, specifically the use of pesticides. Throughout the month of September the City of Bellevue will host a weekly free lawn-care class each Thursday at Bellevue City Hall. The classes are geared toward first-time homeowners who don’t have a history with lawn care, but anyone is welcome. “It’s a win, win; they get to reap the benefits of a great yard, and we as a community get to develop the environmental quality of our city,” said Bellevue Utilities Conservation and Outreach Program Administrator Patricia Burgess. The classes teach students the best ways to care for their yards using natural products such as organic fertilizers. Efficient use
of water is an important part of the classes as well. The program has been a hit since it began in 2003, Burgess said. Each session typically has about 50 to 60 students, and each year the city helps as many as 90 homeowners. When the program began, it was focused purely on water conservation, and pesticides as a threat to the city’s water quality. Now the program also emphasis creating healthy soils that can eliminate the need to use chemicals to bolster plants. “It’s possible to have a great yard without using a lot of chemicals,” she said. “You don’t need to do an inordinate amount of work; if you work with nature and the right tools, you can have a healthy beautiful yard.” For more information or to register for a class, call 425-732-2405. Space is limited, and registration is required.

Lakeside baseball third at World Series Lakeside Baseball Club finished its American Legion World Series run on Tuesday evening in Shelby, N.C. with a 4-3 loss to Brooklawn, N.J., ending the tournament in third place and finishing the season at 39-15. After an 11-5 win over Illinois to open the tournament, Lakeside dropped the first of two games to Brooklawn, 3-2 in extra innings. But a complete-game four-hitter from Brandon Mahovlich to help the team to a 4-1 win over California kept the title hopes alive in the following game and sent Lakeside to face eventual champion Louisiana. Ethan Kalin and Jacob Rosen combined to work eight and two-thirds innings on the mound for Lakeside, again with its back

Prior to qualifying for the World Series by winning the Northwest Championship with a 4-1 run, Lakeside won nine in a row. Coach Rob Reese’s squad finished the season with wins in 16 of its final 19 games and won sub-regional, state and regional championships in the process. Brandon Mahovlich and Jim Sinatro were both named to the 13-man All-Tournament team for their efforts over the five games. Lakeside Baseball Club is composed of players from Newport, Issaquah and Skyline high schools.
REPORTER Q and A | Seattle Storm guard Tanisha Wright in Bellevue for youth camp Drafted by the Seattle Storm from Penn State University in the first round of the 2005 WNBA Draft (12th overall), guard Tanisha Wright has been known throughout her career as a defensive force. After earning Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year honors three times as a collegian, Wright has been named to the WNBA All-Defensive team three times. Wright has spent all eight seasons of her professional career in Seattle, including the championship season of 2010, when she averaged more than nine points, three rebounds and two assists per game. In eight WNBA seasons, Wright has missed only three games and started all but one contest for the Storm from 20092011. Tanisha Wright Wright was one of several Storm players recently at South Bellevue Community Center for a youth basketball camp and took some time with the Reporter to talk about the state of the women’s game, how she spends her off time and Seattle sports fans.

BELLEVUE REPORTER: What has been the biggest change you have witnessed in the league during your eight seasons?
TANISHA WRIGHT: The biggest change is that the athletes coming in are just really good. They start at a young age and develop a lot longer than some of the older players did. They have more opportunity too, and all of that has made the teams much better. REPORTER: As that trend continues, do you think the league will continue to improve across the board? WRIGHT: I expect that will continue now that the league is doing well and there are so many role models. Younger girls are looking up to a lot more players and have a bigger opportunity. REPORTER: What is your message to the kids you are speaking to at the camp: WRIGHT: Just to work hard, have fun and enjoy it. Sports are an opportunity to interact with other people. There’s a lot of life lessons within the framework of sports like cooperation, teamwork. REPORTER: You have only missed three games in eight seasons. How have you been able to stay healthy so consistently? WRIGHT: For sure, I’ve been blessed. God has really just
taken care of me these past eight years. I’m dealing with some small health issues this year, but nothing serious that keeps me out. I’ve learned to take care of my body. The older you get, the harder it is to recoup. REPORTER: After nearly a decade with the Storm, do you make the Pacific Northwest your permanent home? WRIGHT: I live in the Southeast. But I like being here in the summer. There is really no other place that compares. It’s the most beautiful place in the country this time of the year. REPORTER: How would you summarize your career thus far and how has playing in Seattle the entire time helped shape the way you look at the fans of the WNBA? WRIGHT: It’s been a journey, there have been ups and downs, but overall this ride has been amazing. The fans in Seattle are top-notch. You can’t put a value on that, it’s priceless to be able to play in front of these fans. REPORTER: How do you spend your time away from the game? WRIGHT: When I’m not training I just relax, I like to be at home. I have a really close family and whenever I have free time, I like to make sure I enjoy it with them.

Wolverines set for clash with Texas power bellevue - trinity
Bellevue Reporter
With four straight 3A state football championships, nine since 2001 and wins over every marquee name in Washington prep football, Bellevue high school has been forced to get creative in recent years to gain national recognition and put its powerhouse program on display to those outside of the Pacific Northwest. It started in 2005 with the streak-busting win over De La Salle and has continued in the years since with wins over Long Beach Poly and most recently Oaks Christian in 2011. Games against other top programs from California and Texas have also helped bolster the reputation of a program that has found itself a mainstay atop national prep polls. But this year, Bellevue may have accomplished its most impressive feat

is no new feat for Bellevue, which met the likes of Oaks Christian, Lakes and Skyline last year. All three were supposed to possess far too much skill and firepower for the plodding, Wing-T Wolverines. But as they have on so many other occasions, Bellevue found ways to limit the impact of current Pac-12 players Ishmael Adams, Jordan Payton, Cedric Dozier, Ma’ne Manaea and Zach Banner, and intercepted USC commit Max Browne twice, winning all three games decisively. One common school of thought this time around suggests the Trojans and a decive size advantage will be the difference. Euless, Texas is home to more Tongans than any other city in the nation and the cultural mesh at Trinity goes from the hallways- where a flag for every nation that is represented in the student body hangs- to the field, where the Trojans perform the haka, a traditional Maori war cry that is part of a host of Polynesian cultures before each game. A win over the three-time Texas 5A champions could provide a boost similar to what the 2011 team experienced. Bellevue returned to in-state competition in dominating fashion the following week with a 31-17 win over eventual 4A state champion Skyline and rolled through the 3A KingCo schedule before surviving game efforts from Lakes, Kamiakin and O’Dea in the state tournament to capture its fourth consecutive 3A state title. It will again be a 4A KingCo foe circling above for week two, as the Wolverines will travel to Bothell in week two before opening conference play the following Friday against Sammamish.

to buck perception or reinforce it. As for the game itself, there will be no shortage of talent on the field with at least a dozen Division I prospects in Myles Jack action. For Bellevue, University of Washington commit Sean Constantine and future UCLA Bruin Myles Jack lead a team loaded with speed and one that is no stranger to facing more heralded opponents. Sean Constantine Ari Morales, John Nguyen and Dakota Jones also return in the Bellevue backfield and bring big-game experience to a unit that will help break in a new starting quarterback after the graduation of All-State performer Tyler Hasty, now at Oregon State. Budda Baker, a junior who has already garnered a handful of scholarship offers for his services as a return man and defensive back, is another burner for coach Butch Goncharoff and the Wolverines’ team speed has led the official tagline for the game: “Thunder & Lightening.” Trinity, which lost the majority of its starters from a year ago, will bring the thunder portion of the equation, countering the Bellevue quicks with Utah commit Sam Tevi, a 6-5, 270 pound defensive tackle who continues the long line of run-stuffers for the Trojans. Gaius Vaenuka, Hafoka Olie and Jason Reese are just a few of the other recognizable names with Division-I offers already on the table. Facing a host of future collegiate stars

Koch, Honn, Guyer and Burrill practice in Koch’s garage. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter remember - Burill comes from a musical family (his father was a founding member of Seattle metal act Culprit), and Guyer started playing upright bass in middle school, before moving to the electric model a few years back. Koch has been playing guitar and singing since elementary school. Yet pop music isn’t what the group originally set out to do. In fact, before Honn joined The Ninth Step earlier this year, Koch, Guyer and Burrill were experimenting with a more hardcore rock sound.
“We didn’t really feel like we were progressing much with our music.” Koch says. “We felt like it was kind of the same. And we were pissed off.” Faced with a lack of inspiration, and frustrated by creative standstill, the musicians sought to change their sound. Citing acts such as Coldplay and OneRepublic as their inspiration, the Ninth Step have worked tirelessly to develop their new pop sound - a feat that birthed the 5-song debut EP, “In The Light,” which they recorded at Compound

Radio-friendly pop music might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the Northwest music scene, but if members of Bellevue’s own The Ninth Step have anything to say about it, it will be. Listening to the group’s first single, “Everything I Need,” two words come to mind: Radio Disney. It’s pop perfection in the same vein as Justin Bieber, One Direction and the Jonas Brothers - simple structures, solid melodies and stories of puppy love. But what sets this act apart is that they’ve got the musical chops to back it up. Consisting of guitarist/vocalist Jonny Koch, 17, bassist Ben Guyer, 17, drummer Zach Burrill, 17, and keyboardist Michael Honn, 16, the four-piece has spent the last year honing their sound, writing music and recording with Grammy award-winning producer, Pete Stewart. “I think my first experience was in a talent show in Kindergarten,” says Honn, on how he got his start. “I danced and played tambourine.” Like Honn, the other members have been jamming since before they can

Is Her Beautiful Smile Good Genes, Or Does She Have A Secret? A smile so natural, only her dentist knows for sure.
Empowered
Eating her favorite foods, free to travel and live the life she wants. Not afraid to laugh or get close to the ones she loves. Many peers have missing or failing teeth, some even have dentures. How does she do it? Odds Against Us
Consider this: MYTH:
Tooth loss affects a relatively small group of people.
FACT:
By the age of 50, the average American is missing 4 or more teeth.
MYTH:
Tooth loss is almost always a result of poor oral hygiene.
Virtually every adult will lose a tooth in their lifetime. For many, the suffering doesn’t stop there. As we age, factors ranging from poor oral health to heredity often bring about accelerated tooth loss – so much so that the average American will lose 4 or more teeth by the time they reach 50 years of age.
FACT:
Oral hygiene is important, but
MYTH:
Dental problems caused by gum disease and tooth loss resolve themselves quickly.
Traditional Remedies
FACT:
Most dental problems do not “self-resolve”
MYTH:
Dentures are the only option for those dealing with tooth loss.
FACT:
Dental implants look and feel
Historically, alternatives to failing teeth often involved a lifetime of glues, creams and adhesives and often were accompanied by discomfort and changes in appearance – meaning the options for treating missing or failing teeth could do little to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort of tooth loss.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are now considered a “Standard of Care” when replacing missing teeth and are often a better treatment option than conventional dental crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures. Dental Implants have been proven to be a more successful long term option when compared to these more traditional approaches. The appeal of dental implants is very simple: implants look and perform like natural teeth and fit precisely without the need for adhesives. They are permanent and cared for just like natural teeth and restore one’s natural smile.
ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers
Before ClearChoice, getting implants could take over a year and involve endless visits to multiple providers. Our state-of-the-art facilities bring everything together under one roof. The doctors, technicians and cutting edge technology needed for a fast, convenient result can all be found in one place. That is how ClearChoice can deliver beautiful smiles in just one day.*
genetics and age are significant drivers of tooth loss.
and usually become worse with time.
like your natural teeth and are a modern alternative to dentures.
Your Satisfaction Is Important To Us
ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably. That’s why an independent survey of thousands of patients showed they would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others†. At ClearChoice, we work to ensure that no one leaves until they are happy with their smile.
So Did She or Didn’t She?
Almost anyone that has lost multiple teeth or even a single tooth is a strong candidate for dental implants. So next time you see someone over 50 with a beautiful, radiant smile ask yourself … is she lucky or did she make the ClearChoice?
