Spring District clears a hurdle Two appeals dropped after developers OKs traffic study BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

Dr. Eileen Bulger notes that of all the trauma patients who come to Harborview, fewer than 10 percent actually bleed enough to qualify for the study. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter

Bellevue physician to lead national trauma study BY KEEGAN PROSSER Bellevue Reporter

University of Washington researchers are launching a new study this fall, which aims to determine what combination of blood products provides the best outcomes for trauma patients requiring extensive transfusions. Led by Bellevue’s Dr. Eileen Bulger, UW professor of surgery and chief of trauma at Harborview Medical Center, the study will be conducted at 12 Level I trauma centers

across the United States and Canada over the next two years. A transplant from the East Coast who moved to Seattle for her residency, Bulger has been working and conducting research in the Pacific Northwest since 1992. Before taking the position as chief of trauma on August 1, Bulger worked previously as the associate director, and director of emergency at Harborview. Entitled the Pragmatic Randomized Optimal Plasma Platelet Ratio (PROPPR), the study will aim to find out the optimal

combination of blood products (red cells, plasma and platelets) to give to people who are rapidly bleeding. The study will begin at Harborview toward the end of September or the beginning of October.

Two opponents of the Spring District development in the Bel-Red Corridor will drop their appeals of the project after developer Wright Runstad agreed to conduct a further traffic study during the permitting process. Kemper Development Company and Woosley Properties dropped their appeals after two days of a possible eight-day meeting in front of the city’s Hearing Examiner. The two companies appealed the city’s acceptance of the development’s master plan because they felt traffic concerns hadn’t been addressed with the project as a whole, but on a building-by-building basis. Todd Woosley, of Woosley Properties, said the process did not address the cumulative impact, and when it does it will be too late. By settling the dispute, and initiating a traffic study, all parties will get an idea of the impacts earlier. “Our transportation analysis shows that several key intersections will fail in the next two to three budget cycles,” Woosley said. The agreement stipulates that the study will be conducted after the city issues all development and building permits for the project’s first 1.5 million square feet of office space, or before Sept. 1, 2020, whichever comes first. The study must be completed before additional office space can be filled, according to the agreement. The study will examine the current traffic conditions of the area, how things would change without further development, and what traffic will look like when the Spring District is complete. Greg Johnson, president of Wright Runstad, did not want to discuss specifics, but said an appeal process can be difficult for all parties. Reaching an agreement allows everyone to plan on what comes next, he said. “Finding ways to work things out is always better than paying attorneys and consultants in some open-ended process,” he said. One appellant still remained in the process as of the Reporter’s deadline, the Lake Bellevue Condominiums Homeowner’s Association. The group’s appeal also concerns traffic, but the meat of the complaint lies in the environmental impact to Lake Bellevue. The association alleges that the increase in impervious surface will harm the lake, and that the city has not given this, and the potential traffic impacts, enough credence in its reviews. Hearings between Wright Runstad and the Lake Bellevue Homeowners Association could continued throughout the week. Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

CRASH CLOSES INTERSECTION

Bellevue Firefighters cut away and lift off the top of a car to free a driver injured in a two-vehicle accident Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the intersection of Northeast 24th Street and 164th Avenue Northeast. Four people were taken to Overlake hospital with minor injuries as a result of the accident, according to the Bellevue Fire Department. Bellevue Police say the driver of the vehicle pictured was westbound and was blinded by the sun. The intersection was blocked for more than two hours after the accident with motorists directed to alternative streets. More than a halfdozen police and fire trucks responded to the scene. CRAIG GROSHART, Bellevue Reporter

Police say they’ve caught ‘Movie Bandits’ Redmond Police have arrested two suspects they call the “Movie Bandits” who have allegedly committed a series of vehicle prowls and burglaries over the past several months. The crimes hit homeowners in Bellevue and Medina as well other cities in the Greater Seattle area and the state. The suspects broke into cars while parked in public places such as movie theaters or shopping centers. After stealing the vehicle registration and other valuables, the suspects proceeded to the

victim’s residence knowing they weren’t home. Redmond Police arrested a 31-year-old male and a 36-year-old female, both from Bothel l. Police believe the two suspects account for at least 27 cases of residential burglary, four commercial burglaries, 17 vehicle prowls, four attempted burglaries, eight stolen vehicles, and one fraud. Anyone who believes their property may have been stolen, should visit: www.redmond.gov/PublicSafety/Police/property.

Bellevue College wins $550,000 biology grant Bellevue College has been awarded a $550,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund the next phase of a project that is changing the way biology is taught at community colleges throughout the state. By immersing students in the actual practice of scientific research, the project expects to boost the number of students who pursue STEM (short for science, technology, engineering and math) majors and careers. The effort is based on a program created at BC several years ago, also with an NSF grant, called ComGen: Community College Genomics Research Initiative, which Science magazine identified in a recent article as one of the pioneering community college research projects in the nation. Students perform original research by sequencing the genome of a bacterium that fights a wheat fungus. They also analyze primary research articles and interact frequently with scientists. After completing the enhanced courses, BC instructors have noted significantly greater skill development and engagement among students, and many have continued their science education at prestigious institutions such as the University of Washington, Johns Hopkins University, University

of Wisconsin and others. “Our students at BC have really benefited from the opportunity to perform real research and then share it with the wider scientific community. They gain a much better understanding of biology compared to just doing recycled lab exercises,” said Principal Investigator and Assistant Dean of Sciences Gita Bangera, Ph.D., who created the ComGen project. She has conducted research in bacterial molecular biology at Harvard University, UW, Washington State University and the University of Copenhagen (Denmark). “It’s especially heartening to receive this grant, where we competed nationally not only with community colleges but also with research universities. We definitely see it as a validation of the great work we’re doing educating our future scientists,” Bangera continued. BC has received over $11 million in NSF grants since 1995. With BC’s lead, Tacoma Community College, Everett Community College, Clark College (Vancouver) and Olympic College (Bremerton) will initially implement the program, with plans to recruit more of Washington state’s 34 community and technical colleges.

Higher garbage costs possible Higher garbage and recycling costs may be coming to Bellevue residents. The King County Council later this month will consider a recommendation to increase tipping fees charged to haulers. If approved, it could result in a boost of 50 cents per month

for a typical Bellevue residential customer with a 32-gallon cart. Monthly bills would rise to $18.80 starting Jan. 1, 2013. The Bellevue City Council on Monday, Sept. 10, considered how best to pay for the disposal of citywide garbage and

recycled materials in the distant future. Bellevue pays its contractor, Republic Services, to pick up garbage citywide and pays King County to dispose of it at the Factoria Recycling and Transfer Station. From there it goes to the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill in Maple Valley. Bellevue and other cities have an agreement with King County to provide facilities, dispose of solid waste and set disposal fees until 2028. An important issue for Bellevue officials has been the steady rise in disposal rates in recent years. Much of the tipping fee increases are being used to finance the construction of new facilities, including replacement of the Factoria Transfer Station, which is projected for completion in 2016 at a cost of approximately $76 million. One discussion point was whether the city should extend its agreement with the county or make other disposal arrangements. The council directed city staff to prepare a comment letter to county elected officials expressing its concerns and recommendations.

EDITORIAL

Action needed on Sheriff ’s report

highly critical report of the King County Sheriff ’s Office needs the full attention of the County Council and that should come Monday, Sept. 17, when legislation introduced by councilmembers Bob Ferguson and Julia Patterson will be considered by the full council. The report, by a nationally recognized organization that works to strengthen police oversight, lists 25 specific things the Sheriff ’s Office relating to use of force, misconduct policies and oversight. The Police Assessment Resource Center (PARC) of Los Angeles was asked to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the policies and oversight procedures for uses of force, deputy-involved shootings, personnel misconduct investigations, and other high risk areas. The recommendations are eye-opening. Among them are: ■ Changing use of force policies; ■ Creating a new Use of Force Review Board; ■ Making changes to the membership and practices of internal review boards; ■ New policies, procedures, and practices for investigating misconduct and deputy-involved shootings; and ■ Emphasizing alternatives to lethal uses of force. To its credit, the Sheriff ’s Office fully cooperated in the PARC report. However, while we believe the majority of Sheriff deputies serve with distinction, civilians must have oversight of the Sheriff ’s Office. The County Council needs to give this its full attention.

More law and enforcement

he Washington State Patrol is placing radar and cameras at Snoqualmie Pass to catch people who speed through a construction zone. It’s a good move. Construction zones are inherently dangerous to workers. They can’t do their job and watch out for speeding vehicles at the same time. Those who don’t slow down will face a $137 citation. Giving workers a “brake” not only is safe, but also the financially right the thing to do. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Common sense comes to a halt

h, what has become of common sense? A lot of questionable things happen in this crazy, wacky world, but I was left with a real head scratcher the other day. While making a left turn behind a bus in Woodinville, I suddenly found myself staring at a set of flashing hazard lights and at a dead stop in the middle of the intersection. This wasn’t just a quick stop. This was a full-on, 10-second, let’s sit here and wait stop. The reason? Apparently it’s necessary to stop at a railroad crossing that hasn’t been used in more than five years. If the green traffic light, saying “it’s OK to cross” wasn’t enough proof a ghost train wasn’t going to come flying through Kevin Endejan and crush into the side of the bus, I would think the waste-high weeds between the metal railings would be a dead giveaway that NO TRAINS USE THESE TRAIN TRACKS! This prompted me to do a little investigating. Apparently in the summer of 2010, King County Metro changed its rules that buses must stop every time before they drive over railroad tracks, even when there is no train coming.

OK, fair enough. I respect the safety aspect. But the rules also stated that buses aren’t required to stop at streetcar tracks, marked abandoned rail lines, or crossings controlled by traffic signals showing green lights. And since no train has used these tracks since the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train made its last run in 2007, I’m pretty certain it was clear both ways. No, I’m not blaming the driver. I’m sure he’s instructed by higher powers to stop at all these ghost train intersections on the Eastside. I’m quite possibly making a mountain out of a mole hill. But I think these supposed safety precautions present more safety concerns than anything. All it takes is an inattentive driver, not expecting the hazard lights, to slam into the back of a bus, or the person who did stop for the lights. More than anything, my frustration comes down to a lack of common sense in our lawsuit-happy society. I don’t need small print at the bottom of television commercials telling me my truck really can’t snowboard or my soft drink won’t really make me fly. And I don’t need the bus in front of me stopping at a set of railroad tracks no longer in use.

Eastside Story

What’s happening in nearby cities A 23-year-old Renton woman robbed a bank Sept. 4 in the Renton Highlands and demanded money from a teller, according to Renton Police. After taking the money, the woman told bank employees that she would wait outside for police. Police say they know the woman from prior contacts related to mental illness and think she may have robbed the bank in order to get treatment. She was booked for felony robbery. The Sammamish Heritage Society and the city of Sammamish found several artifacts after moving the 117-year-old Reard-Freed House, including a single-shot .50 caliber Civil War era rifle. Also found was a gin bottle that dated back to the 1930s, several fragmented magazines, an old book, empty pill bottles, a metal piggy bank and painted tray that was used in a child’s high chair. The items may have slid down from an upstairs area when the house was being moved to a new location. Not all homes on Mercer Island have an upscale look. For the last 20 years, one house, though unoccupied, has collected a quantity of broken appliances, tires and furniture and sometimes even cars. After a number of complaints, the city worked with the owner to clean up the mess, but the pattern keeps repeating. The owner told code enforcement officers that he knows he has a problem with collecting things. North Bend is getting tough on graffiti. The city now requires property owners to paint over any graffiti on their properties within 48 hours of its appearance. The new city code also sets a civil fine of $75 per day that graffiti remains visible after the initial two-day period.

When business has a mission to find a statement

was sitting in the lobby of a local business a couple of years ago, waiting to talk one of their “representatives.” My eyes wandered onto the wall where the words “OUR COMPANY MISSION” were displayed in huge letters. Below it was this: “To offer excellance in all that we do.” Yes, they had misspelled the word ‘excellence.’ So I did what any modern day human would do. I took a picture of it with my phone and put it on Facebook – where it was “liked” by many. The idea of a “mission statement” is to define a company and its purpose. Pat Cashman Examples: “Acme Maps’ mission is three-fold. Unless the map is larger, and then it is four-fold.” Or, “Uncle Daffy’s Novelty Toys’ mission is to offer the very best in high-quality, name-brand wax lips, joy buzzers and X-Ray glasses that can see through women’s clothes.“ And, “Marvin’s Sit-and-Grin strives to bring its customers the very finest in porta-potties.” When I was growing up, my dad had a very successful clothing store. His employees were happy, well paid and dedicated. And all of that, without a mission statement. Hard to believe, I know. But nowadays, it seems like any self-respecting business has to have a mission statement. Even roadside coffee stands have mission statements: “To offer great service and outstanding coffee – while wearing a bikini.”

September 14, 2012 [5] Heck, even the Starship Enterprise had a mission statement: “To explore new worlds and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.” The rest of the statement is usually edited out: “To have Captain Kirk put the moves on every woman – human or not – in the universe.” You have to wonder what the point of most mission statements is? To motivate employees – or curry favor with customers? If it’s to curry favor with customers, shouldn’t the statement be: “To make you deliriously happy. We don’t care if we make a dime. It’s all about YOU.” If it’s to motivate employees: “Our mission is to make butt-loads of money – and if you don’t help us do that, you’ll be cleaning out your desk this afternoon.” There are countless websites that offer mission statement templates – so that if a company can’t exactly figure out what theirs is, there are people who can. It begs the question: Why not just decide on your mission – and skip the statement? A friend of mine works at a place where the company mission statement is written on every wall in the building – so no employee can supposedly miss it. (“Oh, that’s right! I forgot. I’m supposed to be passionate in what I do.”) My friend also says that following the first day on the job, no one ever looks at the statement again. Why not write a mission statement that everyone can agree on? “Our mission is to try and not get canned – until we can get a better gig somewhere else that will pay us better and offer more benefits, free parking and more vacation time. Oh yea, and also to boldly go where no man has gone before.” Pat Cashman can be reached at pat@patcashman.com. He also can be found at his podcast at peculiarpodcast.com.

DO YOUR TEETH MATCH YOUR SKIN AND HAIR?

Both men and women often go to great lengths to conceal signs of aging. Whether they simply apply moisturizers to their skin and color their hair or get Botox treatments and undergo hair-transplant procedures, most people want to project the most youthful image possible. While these and other cosmetic procedures are quite effective at eliminating wrinkles and enhancing hair, they can be betrayed by stained teeth. To put it bluntly, yellow teeth do not go with smooth skin and lush hair. Fortunately, this is very easy to correct. Tooth-whitening ranks among the fastest, easiest, and most effective cosmetic dentistry procedures. Professional tooth-whitening can bring teeth several shades closer to white in a single office visit. In addition to tooth-whitening, tooth-contouring, bonding procedures, and veneers can also erase years from crooked, chipped, and discolored teeth. Can we improve your smile? With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance can sometimes leave them a little lackluster. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we are currently accepting new patients and welcome you to call 425.641.4111 to schedule an appointment. Tooth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural beauty of your smile. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue.

QFCâ€™s charity of the month for September is The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the worldâ€™s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancers. These cancers include leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkinâ€™s disease and myeloma. When the LLS was founded in 1949 a diagnosis of blood cancer was almost always fatal. Since then, the LLS has occupied a significant role in supporting research that has helped double, triple and even quadruple survival rates for patients with blood cancer.

mia & Lymphoma Society has provided more than $600 million for research on blood cancers and has also served as a nationwide informational clearinghouse for medical professionals, caregivers, and patients. In 2010 alone, the LLS invested $72 million to help fund 103 new research grants to researchers in academic institutions as it supported 347 research projects being conducted in the U.S., Canada and nine other nations. The LLS also provides financial assistance to patients, sponsors scientific conferences around the country, produces educational materials and videos and runs dozens of Family Support Groups nationwide. It does all of these things while receiving no federal funding. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society uses a variety of fundraisers in order to fund its missions. These include stair climbs, a celebrity waiters luncheon and auction, Light the Night walks, a LLS Man & Woman of the Year ten-week fund raising competition, and the Team in Training program.

New cycling facility opening Adam Ryman, left, and Edward Jiang, both students at the University of Washington, run StudentRND, a nonprofit think space and workshop for high school and college students. They’re hoping to turn the 3-year-old organization from a basement project into a million dollar operation by the end of the year. CELESTE GRACEY, Reporter Newspapers While the workshop’s sense of inspiration is infectious, Jiang’s first challenge with founding RND was convincing students that they were capable of “amazing things.” In school, learning is about passing and failing tests. In life, it’s a process of discovery, he said. The summer after his senior year, he convinced a dozen students to spend the summer hanging out in his mother’s Sammamish basement tinkering with projects. It was inspirational, but RND needed money for tools and parts. The teens entered a $25,000 Chase nonprofit Facebook competition, which they easily won. Ironically when the check arrived, they were still too young to open an account with the bank. Now a junior at the University of Washington, Jiang is still the oldest team member. A confident businessman of sorts, he has since netted a list of recognizable sponsors from Medtronic to Blackberry. With the support, he grew StudentRND from a summer program to a year-round operation.

RND’s signature event is Code Day, where upward of 100 students are challenged to complete programs and apps within a 24-hour period. “It’s an incredibly powerful event,” he said. “It changes student mindsets.” The products were so complete, Jiang decided to see what would happen if students were given two months. The Incubator program was born this summer, resulting in seven complex projects, including Firedove. He hopes next summer to give each team $5,000 grants. He’s also planning to establish Code Days in 10 major cities next year and expand RND’s current space. To cover their biennium expenses, RND has set out to raise $1.5 million in the next three months. “People thought we were crazy before,” Ryman said, assured this too is possible. Nothing has stopped Jiang so far. “This is an opportunity to build something amazing.” Celeste Gracey: 425-391-0363, ext. 5052; cgracey@issaquahreporter.com

When Jack Kim learned Google made $9 billion last year, he began to wonder what would happen if some of that money went to nonprofits. So the King’s High School student found a way. Benelab.org has raised a couple grand and led him to an even more ambitious idea - Firedove. The tool allows people to raise money while shopping online. But before it could become a reality he needed a place to collaborate. That’s when he discovered StudentRND, a creative think space and workshop for science, tech and engineering students in Bellevue. He sacrificed his summer plans, including a trip home to Korea, to finish the program in the organization’s Incubator program. “It sounds too good to be true, but we’re hoping that it is true,” he said. Students like Kim, who aren’t content waiting to learn science and math from text books, are the reason why Edward Jiang, now 21, founded the organization. It’s like a public library for techliterate students. When Jiang was a student at Interlake High, he circled through robotics, math and business clubs. They had community, but he grew frustrated that students never stretched their creativity outside of competitions. They were about building resumes. “I thought, you could do more amazing things now,” he said, his red stretched sneakers popped up on a folding table in RND’s 2,500-square foot office space. The unrefined rooms, scattered with cheap folding chairs, used sofas and cartoon posters, form a youthful den off Bel-Red Road.

Bellevue again named a top community for youth collaborations with partners, including Bellevue Public Schools, Youth Link, Youth Eastside Services, Bellevue Family YMCA, Eastside Pathways and the Jubilee Reach Center. Last year the grant was used for a youth conference. This year, the grant will support the city’s Community Leadership awards. Bellevue was chosen from more than 320 applicants for a place on the list, which recognizes communities across the country that focus on reducing high

school dropout rates and providing service and support to their youth. “Being named one of America’s Promise Alliance’s 100 Best is significant and meaningful to the entire community, “said Mayor Conrad Lee. “So many dedicated people and programs contributed to this honor, and we should all be incredibly proud of our community’s investment in young people and our future.” “In a nation where 7,000 students drop out of high school every day, we hope Bellevue’s initiatives inspire other communities across the nation to take action to solve the challenges facing their young people,” said

Marguerite W. Kondracke, America’s Promise Alliance president and CEO. This year’s competition experienced its greatest interest to date, with applications from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Winners were chosen by a panel of judges that included 2012 National Teacher of the Year Rebecca Mieliwocki and 2012 National Superintendent of the Year Heath Morrison. America’s Promise announced the top 100 list this morning. Presented by ING, the list is available, as well as a webcast of the announcement, at America’s Promise.

Four earn EMS certification BY JOSH SUMAN Bellevue Reporter

The city of Bellevue welcomed back four members of its fire department Monday, but with an additional title. Brian Snyder, Cliff Dobsa, Reese Cogdill and Brian Fialdini were recognized for completing a year’s worth of training, coursework, exams and hands-on field study in the EMS certification program through the University of Washington and Harborview Medical Center and were welcomed back to their department as certified EMS responders. Bellevue Fire Department Battalion

Chief and the Commander of the EMS program Mark Moulton said the program is not only one of the finest in the Pacific Northwest, but also the entire United States. Along with regular coursework that includes an intensive two-month course in human anatomy and physiology, students spend time responding to more than 500 calls of varying severity. “It’s basically bringing the ER into the field,” Moulton said. “They can do anything out there, deliver babies, you name it.” Moulton added that many EMS training agencies around the country come to Bellevue and even model their own programs after what they find in King County.

The potato is 1,102 times larger than the heaviest ever grown (11 pounds).

Game Day: Seahawks take on Dallas

2012 SCHEDULE

The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo will visit Century Link Field on Sunday (1:05 p.m., FOX 13; 710 ESPN Radio and 97.3 FM) as the Seahawks try to erase the memories of last week’s gutwrenching 20-16 defeat at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals. “When you have a first week issue, you have to show the discipline to show what it takes to get back on track,” head coach Pete Carroll said in his Wednesday press conference. “That’s what’s at hand right now and I’m counting on these guys.” Seattle’s defense was dominant at times during the second half, when it forced six consecutive Arizona possessions to end with a three-and-out or a turnover. But the Seahawks will likely need an even stouter effort against a more dangerous Dallas passing game and running back DeMarco Murray, who ran for 131 yards on 20 carries last week to help the Cowboys to a win over the defending Super Bowl Champion Giants on the road. “They have a legit running game that you really have to deal with,” Carroll said. “That makes it hard because Romo is so good. It’s a very talented group.” Questions about the Seahawks offensive line could again be the topic of conver-

a really challenging opponent.” Part of the responsibility for limiting Ware’s impact will be on quarterback Russell Wilson, who finished his first regular season start with an 18-34 day for 153 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Wilson will need to improve upon that performance by operating drives that end in touchdowns rather than field goals if the Seahawks hope to avoid an 0-2 start, which would be lethal to its playoff hopes. 173 teams have started the season 0-2 since 1990 (the Seahawks have done so most often, with nine seasons losing the first two games) and only 22 have reached the playoffs.

Heritage Corner A look at Bellevue’s past

Under the hood: resources for home mechanics

M COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center, Preuss Collection

Marvel Morgan This Rexall Drug Store was located in the Homemakers Center at 857 Bellevue Way NE and had prominent signage and a loyal clientele. It was a popular shopping destination in the 1960s. Its yellow page ad of March 1963 boasted of a complete camera shop, low prices, and long hours (9 a.m. to 10 p.m.). The cherry trees along the curb were planted in the early 1960s and are still growing today. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. Material is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center. For more information call 425-450-1049.

y first car was a bile green 1968 Mercury Colony Park station wagon, with a sleek wood panel. It wasn’t the fast, red convertible somethingorother every teen driver hopes for. Instead, it was a gigantic gas hog that could easily take 30 of my closest friends where ever they wanted to go. We called it The Beast. The Beast brought me many adventures: my first flat tire, first speeding warning, and first donuts in a deserted snowy parking lot in Eastern Washington. I loved that car, but it had one little Darcy Brixey problem: it ate air filters. I was 17 years old, and every two weeks when I got my paycheck from a local restaurant, I’d head over to the auto parts store and buy a new air filter. It cost me $7.14 with tax. If I concentrate long enough, I can probably still remember the part number. After I bought the air filter, I’d change

it right there in the parking lot, much to the amusement of my friends. The Beast was enormous and I felt invincible, but I was missing a true understanding of car repairs and maintenance. If you have a project car, or you enjoy DIY on the weekends, don’t forget about the vast collection of auto repair manuals at the Bellevue Library. We have factory repair manuals for domestic or imports up until the year 2004. If your car is newer, you can also try our Chilton database, or All-Data, a database designed for professionals. Chilton has diagrams and even videos to show you what to do and can be accessed from home with your library card. All-Data contains a variety of wiring diagrams and even technical service bulletins, but can only be used within any King County Library System branch. As The Beast aged it became increasingly cantankerous and I didn’t have the money to deal with the problems. My younger brother cared for it in its golden years and I bought something only slightly newer. If I took the time to add up all the air filters and other parts purchased over the years I owned The Beast, I could have paid for my own online subscription to these databases. Luckily, you have the library for that. Good luck with your car. RIP The Beast 1968-1996 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.

COURTESY PHOTO, Pacific Northwest Ballet Eight talented Pacific Northwest Ballet School students from the Bellevue area have been selected to perform alongside Company dancers in Kent Stowell’s Cinderella at McCaw Hall Sept. 21-30. Launching the 40th anniversary season, the ballet’s production brings the beloved fairytale to life, vividly illustrating the narrative through dance. Approximately 50 student dancers were selected by PNB School faculty members to dance alongside the company of professional dancers for the production. Dancers who reside in Bellevue are: Gabrielle Eusebio (International M.S.); Julia Honari (Chinook M.S.); Emma Sherrell (Seattle Girl’s School); Dora Pungan (Issaquah M.S.); Mallory Kilbreath (Tyee M.S.); Eudora Sheridan (Bennett Elementary); Rose Wittenmeyer (Homeschool); and Adora Wu (Cherry Crest Elementary). Rose Wittenmeyer, 11, will play the role of a bug and a good fairy attendant. Wittenmeyer, who has been dancing for seven years, said

she is looking forward to the complicated choreography, which mixes classic ballet movements with more spontaneous movement. “There is a lot of dancing and jumping around,” Wittenmeyer said. “It’s really fun and interesting.” As a fairy attendant, she and the other dancers aid the good fairy in her duties. In regard to what she is most looking forward to, Wittenmeyer said she is just excited to be on stage. “When I’m dancing I just feel pure joy,” Wittenmeyer said. “My mind goes clear and I just dance.” Also unique to this production are the Prince and Princess workshops. Beginning one hour before each matinee performance there will be a handful of activities for children and families, including crafts and dance classes. The production runs Sept. 21-Sept. 30 at McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer Street, Seattle. For more information and to buy tickets, go to www.pnb. org/Season/12-13/Cinderella.

...obituaries Margaret Menges Kesler

Margaret Menges Kesler, 98, of Redmond, WA, died August 25, 2012 at Evergreen Hospice in Kirkland, WA. Mrs. Kesler was born May 10, 1914, in Hanover, PA, the daughter of Jesse Calvin and Alice Easley Menges. She was educated in the Hanover schools, graduating from high school at the age of 15 and completing three years at Catawba College in Salisbury, NC before the depression brought her education to an end. She majored in Home Economics and her skill in clothing design brought recognition and awards for her costume creations. Margaret married Thomas Lingle Kesler of Salisbury, NC in 1932 and they celebrated their 65th anniversary before his death in 1997. Mr. Kesler was a geologist and their marriage began an odyssey of travel across the country. A portable Singer Sewing Machine kept Margaret company in small towns while Tom worked for Shell Petroleum Corp. in Texas, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service throughout the Western United States, and in Washington, D.C. during world War II. A son and daughter were born during their stay in Washington and then further moves took them to Cartersville, GA, Morristown, TN and Kings Mountain, NC. Kings Mountain proved to be a stopping place for ten years and Margaret was very active in community and church activities. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, the Woman’s Club, the Book Club, headed the Blood Bank Drive, played an excellent hand of bridge and could out-dance anyone on the floor while wearing her own red taffeta creation. She led the Girl Scouts, drove her children to basketball and piano practice, attended recitals, made most of her own and her daughter’s clothing, braided rugs, made curtains, reupholstered and refinished furniture and cooked delicious meals. In short, she was a true homemaker. When the children left for college, Tom’s work took them to Plainfield, NJ and then back to Georgia to prepare for retirement. After several years, the North Carolina mountains, which had always been a vacation destination, became their retirement location, bringing them to Hendersonville, NC, but the arrival of grandchildren and the constant travel back and forth to see them set them on a course for Bellevue, WA to be close to their daughter and her family. The Bellevue years, which stretched to 38 for Margaret, were filled with activities at the First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue where her faith was an example to her family. She enjoyed genealogy and researched her family for admittance to the Daughters of the American Revolution and membership in Cascade Chapter. She was a wonderful grandmother to her four grandchildren and, as the years passed, she was great-grandmother to six. After Tom’s death in 1997, she moved to Cascade Plaza where she began making friends and having adventures. A broken hip followed by a broken shoulder finally brought her to her last move. At Cascade Vista, yet again, she began making friends and was just as busy as she had been all her life, attending the Bible study class, playing Bingo and enjoying her ever-expanding family. Mrs. Kesler was preceded in death by her husband, Tom; sonin-law, Zell Porter; two brothers and one sister. She is survived by son, Dr. Stephen Kesler (Judy), Ann Arbor, MI; daughter, Susie Porter McFatridge (John), Bellevue, WA; grandchildren, Amy Ormiston (Perry), Puyallup, WA; Liza Wallace (Jeff), Sammamish, WA; Dr. Sarah Kesler, Minneapolis, MN; and David Kesler (Mya), Berkeley, CA; great-grandchildren; Sarah and Lauren Ormiston, Emily and Gavin Wallace and Elias and Kai Kesler. The family suggests remembrances to First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, 1717 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, 98004 674610

within a quilt, you can imagine the dresses, shirts and aprons that these were once a part of, salvaged because nothing went to waste during and after World Wars I and II and the Great Depression. Quilting did not die out with my grandmother’s generation, and the quilting bees of colonial and pioneer America, where groups of women sewed and conversed, are enjoying a resurgence. My friend with 12 quilts tells me that the most significant change over the years is that sipping wine now accompanies stitching and talking at many quilting bees. What would our grandmothers think? Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http://stillalife.wordpress.com/.

ou can see the shapes of Paul Klee and Piet Mondrian and the colors of Franz Marc in the Bellevue Arts Museum’s African American Quilt Show, “Bold Expressions.” The quilts on the museum walls are predominately from the American South and many are from the 1940s, Ann Oxrieder though there is at least one example created between 1910 and 1920 and one completed in the ‘70s.

“I can see strips of polyester leisure suits in that one,” said the docent, referring to the youngest quilt, which immediately brought back memories of John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever.” The quilters employed traditional patterns, but not necessarily in conventional ways. The collector of these works of art, Corinne Riley, said, “In the past, these quilts were usually disregarded because of their unconventional construction. But I believe that the decisions that were made in piecing these were intentional, not accidental, as with any art form.” For many, the show connects us to more than late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century art because quilts make a link to our family history. I have three my grandmother made, including one that’s unfinished. A friend told me she had inherited 12. When you look at swatches of fabric

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r â€™s a n d b u y e r â€™s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the sellerâ€™s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Bellevue’s senior residents were honored with a complimentary, catered breakfast at Crossroads Park on Tuesday, Sept. 11. At the “Honoring Our Elders: Celebrating Our National Day of Service and Remembrance” event, the first 200 local residents 60 and older enjoyed an outdoor breakfast catered by Eques Hyatt Regency Bellevue. Bellevue firefighters and police officers, as well Microsoft employees joined the attendees for conversation during breakfast. There was a moment of silence at 8:46 for those who lost their lives on 9/11. There were also a number of booths for seniors to visit, including Bellevue Neighborhood Outreach, volunteering and service opportunities in Bellevue, senior safety tips from the Bellevue Police, free computer training from Microsoft at Bellevue Square and health screenings by Bellevue firefighters. Seniors were treated to gift bags from the Microsoft Store Bellevue and the Bellevue fire and police departments. The event was sponsored by the city of Bellevue, Microsoft and the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
