Gingerbread houses come to Bellevue
Two Bellevue police officers disciplined for rowdy behavior
20 creations on display to benefit KIDSQuest Museum
Third officer exonerated in incident at Seahawks game
BY ANNE LAUGHLIN SPECIAL TO THE BELLEVUE REPORTER
Working well into the night in a catering warehouse tucked away in Bellevue’s Bel-Red neighborhood, a team of four pastry professionals put the final touches on a gingerbread house. But not just any gingerbread house. It, and 19 others, are vying for honors in the annual KIDSQuest Museum Gingerbread Lane, which is part of Bellevue’s Magic Season. The competing houses will be on display through Dec. 16 in the Bellevue Hilton lobby. Winners will be announced on Dec. 8. The houses will be auctioned off to the highest sweet-tooth bidders. Jill Borgida, an instructor for Wilton Industries, worked side by side with Kelli Morse of Kelli’s Cake Creations, Gian Edmondson and Becky Bihary, consultants who have worked with Kelli. All are local pastry experts with steady hands, plenty of patience and an eye for the whimsical. The house, sponsored by Republic Services, embraces a theme of the Wizard of Oz situated in the Pacific Northwest with multiple references to a “green” holiday. Jill Borgida is the wife of Republic Services’ general manager, Jeff Borgida. “When we brainstormed we kept the KIDSQuest audience in mind,” said Jill. “We thought kids and parents would enjoy our interpretation of the Land of Oz here in the Northwest. And a green theme wouldn’t be complete without a reference to environmental stewardship.” The entry is a traditional Northwest Tudor home equipped with stained-glass windows made of melted Lifesaver candies lit by the warm glow of a battery-powered candle stands surrounded by evergreen trees created from ice cream cones with frosting and an “Emerald City” skyline in the background. Wizard of Oz characters crafted in fondant demonstrate the team’s

Two Bellevue Police Department officers were disciplined and one was exonerated after an off-duty incident that occurred in September during a Seattle Seahawks game. Corporal Dion Robertson, a 22-year veteran, was demoted to officer and lost his supervisory responsibilities on the Bomb Squad which results in a significant annual loss in pay. Officer Andy Hanke, a seven-year veteran, was given 30 days suspension from duty without pay and was removed from Disciplined the Bomb police officers Squad, also apologize for resulting in their actions. a significant Page 8 loss in annual wages. Both officers were found to have violated policies on Deportment (a manner of personal conduct/behavior), Courtesy and Code of Ethics. Officer Hanke also violated Obedience to Laws Policy. A female detective was exonerated and cleared of all allegations. “I am convinced that these officers have learned a very hard lesson and their actions in the future will always meet the high standards of behavior that the Bellevue community rightfully demands of their police,” said Police Chief Linda Pillo. “The discipline given to these officers is firm yet fair.

‘Cliff ’ solution: taxes, spending
T
he US is poised to fall off a “fiscal cliff ” on Jan. 1 unless Democrats and Republicans find a way to avoid automatic spending cuts and tax increases. Yawn. It’s not that we don’t believe – sort of – the doomsayers who tout what a catastrophe this would be to the nation’s economy. It’s just that we don’t think rational people – yes, that means politicians – are so stupid as to let that happen. So, some time – by the end of this year or shortly after the start of 2013 – politicians will force themselves to come up with an answer. When they do, it must contain both spending cuts and tax increases. The US debt now stands at more than $16 trillion. To put that in more personal terms, that’s more than $52,000 on the shoulders of every man, woman and child in this country. But, instead of fixing this, we’ve passed the problem on to future generations. That has to stop. There’s no question that higher taxes will be necessary to help pare down this problem. And the pain needs to start with families whose income is $250,000 and higher. Higher taxes, while unpleasant, won’t have a debilitating impact on their quality of life. That’s not the case with many in the middle class who have little left over after paying their monthly bills. However, the middle class, too, needs to help fix this mess, perhaps in the form of fewer or more limited deductions. Spending also needs to be reined in. Government trying to be everything to everyone is one reason why we’re in this fix. It would be best if all this were accomplished before the end of the year. However, given the political stakes, that may be unlikely. If we have to jump, at least we’ll be holding hands. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

More clout for unions With both their advocate and “bag man” having been re-elected, look for the unions to expand their expectations from President Obama and his proxy NLRB for more rulings (a la Boeing), strikes and appeals. Unions’ brinkmanship and strikes will now throttle a tottering private enterprise engine that has already been laid low by fiscal irresponsibility and environmental obstructionism. Hostess and Walmart are merely the beginning.

Praise for Howie, Seastar I was the grateful recipient of an invitation to come to the Seastar Restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner this year. I believe I was one of something like 500 deserving guests attending this feast, people down on their luck for one reason or another. The sweet children arriving all dressed up and wide-eyed from witnessing the sparkling Christmas
tree in the lobby were a delight to behold. The turkey and trimmings dinner was absolutely scrumptious. Thanks to John Howie for a memorable experience. What a remarkable man. I feel I must also mention the army of volunteers who greeted, served and made all those people who attended feel special and welcome to be there. It was indeed a day to remember.

When is business big? With so many arguing for, and pleading with, consumers to buy only from small business, the question is raised: at what point does a small business become one that has become large enough to be ignored or boycotted by the public? It would be interesting to hear what that maximum level of success is and how it compares to what I was
taught in business school. I have the impression that many believe Sam Walton (Walmart founder) should not have created more and more stores, hired more and more people, and offered cheaper merchandise to the consumer, or William Boeing should not have expanded his aircraft-building business beyond a certain level and, in turn, hired fewer people.

Let’s not fall off the ‘fiscal cliff’ BY LINDA BALL
Every day I read a different article on the ongoing saga of negotiations regarding the forthcoming fiscal cliff, the possibility of increased taxes occurring at the same time as massive spending cuts by the federal government. I’m really worried about it. The chills and thrills make for good TV, but if Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C., don’t come up with an acceptable compromise, the country could find itself reeling yet into another recession. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I would like Congress to spare us all the drama, and reach an agreement. The hearts and minds of us regular American Linda Ball folks just can’t take it anymore. I’ve been middle class most of my life, and I have been more fortunate than many during these last six years of economic turmoil. I have made some wise investments. But it is going to hurt you and me if our taxes go up by even one percent. Folks making $250,000 or more per year really won’t notice. We will. Congress should agree to extend the Bush tax cuts for income levels below $250,000. I just had the good fortune to buy a small condo. I love my new place and I am so thrilled that I was able to
become a homeowner again after 10 years of renting due to — first, divorce, then the market getting inflated, crazy and overpriced. I didn’t need nor could I afford a McMansion; I just wanted my own place again. I scored on the interest rate and price. I want others to have that opportunity, too. I fear everybody will climb back into their shell and close their wallets if tax rates go up, or if we lose certain deductions like the interest on your mortgage loan. I doubt that will happen because the National Association of Realtors will raise bloody hell first. I disagree with the idea of raising the estate tax. We pay taxes all of our lives — why should we have to pay taxes when we’re dead? If you depart this world leaving assets behind, they should go to your heir, charity or whoever or whatever entity you want a better life for. There is much to be bantered about until the end of the year. The most likely outcome will be that Congress shrinks the cliff so that some tax rates don’t rise and some of the spending cuts aren’t made. I just hope both the Dems and the Reps can come together and avoid a dive into murky waters. Linda Ball is a staff writer for the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter.

Getting in touch with a ukulele – and my lame side
I
n my youth I thought the ukulele, as well as the songs played on it, were among the purest examples of what my peers and I called “lame.” (Funny how the word has resurfaced in recent years and seems to mean the same thing.) Only the accordion came in higher on our list of instruments to avoid. Part of the uke’s bad rap for any of us who didn’t live in Hawaii was that we associated it with the only Hawaiian song we’d ever heard: “Tiny Bubbles.” And where was “Tiny Bubbles” performed? In night clubs overflowing with people our parents’ age, which automatically qualified it as lame. (Never Ann Oxrieder mind that the song’s most enthusiastic

In addition to the penalty, the utility has now refunded to customers more than 9,000 disconnect-visit fees charged in error dating back to December 2009. The violations arose from an investigation of PSE’s records that covered March to May 2011. UTC staff found

Fortunately, Jake Shimabukaro, Hawaiian virtuoso, came along and turned perceptions of the lowly ukulele upside down and inside out. In October, he filled most of the 2,480 seats in Benaroya Hall with people of all ages, and they demanded three encores. I’m confident no one used the word “lame” to describe the event. Now I’m hooked on the uke. I’ve added it to the piano as a musical interest, and this might be a good thing. Some research studies related to music and aging suggest that “musical training offsets losses in memory.” Another study showed that Alzheimer patients who listened to music during their recreation period, compared to two other groups who worked on puzzles or drawing and painting projects, “were more alert, happier, and had higher recall of past personal history.” The irony is that as a beginner one of the first pieces I learned to play was “Tiny Bubbles,” and so far my musical repertoire consists primarily of songs that are, well…lame.

When it comes to repairing or enhancing the visible surfaces of front teeth, porcelain is the material of choice for veneers. While no other material so closely approximates the look of tooth enamel and is so durable, budgetary considerations may lead to contemplation of alternative types of restoration. If so, “bonding and contouring” is recommended as the most cost-effective choice for covering chips and discoloration, improving shape, and restoring lost enamel. The single-visit process begins with augmenting affected teeth with tooth-colored resin that takes minutes to apply and cure. Once chips and cracks are filled, discoloration is covered, or missing portions of teeth are filled, the dentist artfully shapes and sculpts the resin to create a natural-looking tooth. While porcelain veneers most closely approximate the translucence and subtle color gradation of natural teeth, bonding creates an appearance that is more solid and consistent in color. Whether you need a bonding procedure or veneers, with the proper esthetics treatment, patients receive the benefits of a beautiful new smile.

From the bottom, up Bellevue non-profit focused on providing most basic of needs BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
During the holiday season, there are no shortage of drives, fundraisers, collections and other endeavors to make sure both children and parents can celebrate even in the face of hard financial times. For Bellevue’s Therese Andersen and Kim Stone, the mission is even more basic and is one that applies year-round: provide diapers for babies in need. In 1992, Jean Ann Lynch founded a non-profit called Baby Basics to do just that. The organization currently has chapters across the country and after serving on the board of an affiliate agency
while she lived in Michigan, Andersen wanted to bring the program to Bellevue. Stone said finding a niche in the non-profit world was a challenge that actually ended up connecting the women with many of the groups they coordinate with still. “We wanted to talk to other agencies to find out if there was a need,” Stone said. “Everyone we talked to said there definitely was.” After beginning with three babies and a garage-turnedwarehouse for diaper storage only a few months ago, Baby Basics now provides diapers for six babies twice per month, with 11 more on a waiting list. First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue offered a room in their facility to hold
Kim Stone and her son prepare donations before a distribution at First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue. COURTESY PHOTO distributions along with a phone line. The room also serves as a gathering place for the clients to learn about other agencies and services that are available. “We’re really trying to help people who are trying to help themselves,” Andersen said. “These families are really trying to make it work and sometimes the system doesn’t help them.” Baby Basics is focused on helping the “working poor” in Bellevue, those with jobs who are not receiving state cash assistance. Andersen and Stone said with more than 20 percent of students in the Bellevue School
District now qualifying for free or reduced lunch and the lack of a reliable and sustainable option for free diapers, the need was more apparent than ever. “Every week we get another application,” Andersen said. “The wait[ing] list was four, then seven, then 11. I don’t like having a wait[ing] list.” While additional volunteers who can serve as buyers and help with distributions are always welcome, Andersen and Stone said the most pressing need for Baby Basics Bellevue currently is consistent donations.
The two estimate it costs roughly $1,800 to provide diapers a baby will wear for three years. Families are accepted into the program after the entire donation has been secured to avoid leaving families with another unexpected cost should intake slow. “To know they can count on that, it means a lot,” Andersen said. Along with standard cash and diaper donations, Baby Basics has worked with Boy Scout Troop 520 on a diaper drive and both Andersen and Stone said they would be open to new ways of collecting donations. Their own dedication to the project has spread throughout their families and become a hands-on lesson in giving. “It takes a lot of time to get something started,” Stone said. “But my family understands and they are a part of the Baby Basics volunteer community.” To volunteer with Baby Basics Bellevue, make a donation, or find out more about receiving assistance, contact Therese Andersen or Kim Stone at babybasicsbellevue@live.com or by calling 425-454-3084 ext. 3205.

Survey sees economic growth for Eastside The Eastside economy should see growth over the next year, according to a consumer shopping survey conducted by Pulse of America and the Bellevue Reporter. In addition, the survey indicated that most new jobs will be created by new or expanding small businesses. According to the survey: ■ 34 percent of survey respondents expect their household spending to increase over the next 12 months, while only 18 percent say it will go down. ■ 28 percent of respondents say that they plan to spend more at locally owned businesses rather than the Internet or out of town over the same period, while 62 percent state their local spending will be the same. The survey covered hundreds of small business types and provided details on where respondents intend to shop in the next 12 months. Details include:
■ 11 percent intend to shop for a used car; ■ 10 percent intend to shop for a new car (which is up over previous quarters); ■ 10 percent expect to use a landscaping service; ■ 16 percent will shop at a furniture store; ■ 15 percent will shop at a jewelry store; and ■ 10 percent will use a legal firm. The survey also contained some interesting nuggets: ■ 23 percent plan to go to a bowling alley, compared to 16 percent who plan to use a golf course; ■ 21 percent plan to change auto insurance providers; ■ 23 percent plan to change or get a new dentist; and ■ 13 percent plan to change their cellular phone provider. The survey noticed certain trends,
too. ■ 14 percent of respondents plan to buy a tablet in the next 12 months; 20 percent already do own a tablet; ■ More than twice as many respondents (68 percent) use Facebook at least weekly compared to 33 percent who use YouTube. Only 11 percent use Twitter at least weekly. The complete survey shopping results are available to any local small business by calling the Bellevue Reporter’s National Sales office at 360-394-5833. Finally, local residents are invited to participate in the current Pulse of America survey at www.pulsepoll.com. Those participating in the survey will be entered in a drawing for a Visa card, pre-loaded with $4,000 that they can spend whenever and wherever they want.

For most people, the holidays mean drinking hot cocoa, getting together with family and celebrating the season. For the Herdman family, it’s just another reason to wreak havoc. At least that’s the case in Barbara Robinson’s novel “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” This month, the Downtown Theatre Project brings the classic story of riot and redemption to the stage. Directed by theater veteran Jeremy Anderson, who worked previously at Seattle’s Taproot Theatre Company, this marks the first production by the Downtown Theatre Project - a new group looking to create a more active performing arts community in West Bellevue. A longtime holiday classic, Robinson’s tale tells the story of Imogene, Claude, Ralph, Leroy, Ollie, and Gladys Herdman - a family of delinquents who crash the annual Christmas Pageant after being told the church provides snacks. The Bellevue production will feature a cast and crew of approximately 45 people (ages 8 to 60), who have been working on the show since September. “We wanted to do a holiday themed play,” Anderson said regarding their show selection. “And it’s a great story.” Cast in the role of eldest daughter Imogene Herdman is Amanda Albert, 19, of Snohomish. Albert first heard about the production from Anderson, who was directing a show at her high school, Sky Valley Education Center in Monroe, last spring. While the young actress was not familiar with the story before auditioning, she said it’s been an exciting challenge. “I had trouble connecting with [Imogene] because she is
so different from who I am,” Albert said. Prior to this production, Albert said she generally played roles similar to who she is off stage. She said getting to know Imogene - and learning to become her on stage - has helped her to round out her acting abilities. Playing narrator Beth Bradley is Kirsten Dunn, 18, who has been a fan of the story for as long as she can remember. “I grew up reading the story with my family every Christmas,” said the Kirkland resident. Dunn said she was drawn to the role because she loves the theme of redemption in the story. “It’s really a story about not judging a book by its cover,” Dunn said. “And it gives a really different take on the [Nativity] story - it makes it real.” She said she is excited to give the story her own flavor, and to make the character of Beth her own. Regarding the performances, Anderson says he is most excited to see how it all comes together. He hopes the audience leaves feeling the warmth of the holiday season. But more than that, he hopes their production will serve as a launching pad for more projects to come. “There are so many different kinds of people and relationships within this play,” Anderson said. “It’s been really exciting to see the community build within the cast itself.” Performances will take place Friday, Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. (doors at 1:30 and 7 p.m.) at Interlake High School, 16245 NE 24th St., Bellevue. The show is sponsored by The Downtown Church and is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served. For more information go to www.facebook.com/TheDowntownTheatreProject.
Eastside dancers take home top honors at regional dance competition On November 16 more than 1600 dancers from the competed as part of the Western Region Oireachtas - a regional Irish Dance Championship held in Bellevue. Mary Herridge, whose son Brendan took 2nd place in the U16 division said the competition had a great spirit and that everything seemed to run smoothly. Also in attendance was Bellevue resident Kim Bouchard, whose three children Alexis (U16 female dancer), Chris-
tophe (U14 male dancer) and Tristan (U12 male dancer) also competed. The Bouchard kids have been dancing since they were 6-years-old. Tristan has been dancing since he was four. “This competition wasn’t different,” said Christophe, who defended his title by taking home the top prize in his age bracket. “I always try to do my absolute best in every competition - big or small.” Tristan, who placed 5th at last year’s
regional competition, said he was excited to place third this year. “My teachers have been saying. ‘You’ve improved so much such last year and it shows,’” Tristan said. “So it felt pretty good to move up two places.” The Bouchards also participated in a U15 “Mixed Ceili” group dance that took 1st place. The Bouchard boys, along with Herridge, will compete at the world championship in Boston this March.

Holiday craft show gives a family feel to shopping
www.bellevuereporter.com
BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
John Whitten is barely visible behind his wall of Jalapeno jelly. But though he seems out of place among the braided rugs and handmade jewelry of this year’s Hilltop Holiday crafts show, Whitten estimates that he’ll do eight or nine similar events before the end of the year. “It’s one of those things that my wife did for years,” said Whitten of his jelly recipe, which he samples with Ritz crackers, slathered in cream cheese. “She gave me the choice of crocheting something or making this Jalapeno jelly,” he laughs. Neighbors, customers and the generally curious descended on Bellevue’s Hilltop Holiday craft show for its fifth and final day, Saturday. They picked through racks of scarves, sampled truffles and chatted with vendors about technique. The annual craft show, now in its 30th year, featured 80 different booths.
Bellevue’s Hilltop Holiday craft show attacted many shoppers to see the wares of 80 vendors. CELINA KAREIVA, Bellevue Reporter “People come back every day and they call it their show,” said event coordinator Cameron Amann. “They like this small facility and the closeness…When they come, they know one another. They’re neighbors.” The craft fair circuit sees many of the same faces, but Amann says that Hilltop is unique for its local and entirely homemade selection of products. Vendors come

December 7, 2012 [11] from as far as Snohomish and Bellingham, and while the facility is small, there is a huge waiting list for prospective vendors. Amann suspects that many craft show customers are drawn to its community origins. “A lot of people are supporting the little business people now. That’s been really cool to see,” she explains. This was Sue Schleer’s first year at the show. Schleer, who used to work in the construction business, began making cakes and treats for her daughter after being laid off several years back. On her 40th birthday, when her friend presented her with a stack of business cards, Schleer decided to turn her hobby into a business. She still makes cakes, but on Saturday found herself showcasing an array of truffles, featuring flavors like salted caramel and pistachio. “It can be hard to stand out at these things,” admitted Schleer of the crafts fair scene. “But if you have a good product, you’ll find a way.” Above all, Schleer says that the chance to interact with customers can be a lot of fun. “People come up and look sort of serious…And then you talk to them,” says Schleer. “They taste it, and their whole body just relaxes. I love that.”

in 1994. After coaching the nucleus of this team, including Dotson, Fowler, James Ferris and Riley Hering since seventh grade, Haizlip said there would be no greater satisfaction than sending them out in the Tacoma Dome. “It would be really special,” he said. “There would be nothing better.”
Which local contender shaves the most time?

Big questions facing preps The football state championship games put a bow on the fall season last weekend and the prep scene now shifts to winter. A host of returning state competitors and 2013 hopefuls are already back in action in boys swim and dive, wrestling, basketball and gymnastics and the Reporter has your first look at the biggest questions squads in Bellevue face.
Is Newport’s experience, size and athleticism enough to make state? Newport’s boys basketball team had a promising regular season in 2011-12, but a 1-2 mark at the conference tournament
sent the Knights packing without a state playoff berth for the tenth consecutive season. Senior Isaac Dotson, a first-team all league selection in football and commit to the University of Nevada as a quarterback, and the inside duo of Calvin Throckmorton and Miles Fowler gives coach Steve Haizlip a group that boasts size, experience, athleticism and a determination to rewrite program history. “With our size, I think we have the ability to go inside and create mismatches,” Haizlip said. “It’s just going to allow us to be really physical and dictate the way the game is played.” The head man for the Knights is also an alum and was on the team the last time the school made a 4A state tourney appearance
RATULATIO G N N
Bellevue and Newport finished in the top six at their respective state swim and dive meets last year and Sammamish could be ready to climb the ladder in its first season in Class 2A. Newport junior Benton Allen, who was fourth at state in 2011 in the 200 free and third in the 500 free, will try to fill the shoes of the departed Sebastian Bury and Dehlan Gwo. Nicholas Weiss returns for his senior season after swimming on a fifth place relay team in 2012 and Andrew Pana will be back after a freshman season that saw him in the pool at state. Bellevue’s Michael Stanchi, Casey Lee, Jamie Doucette and Matt Williams will help ease the loss of last year’s leader Carl Andrews. Stanchi was third in the 100 backstroke for Bellevue at state in 2012. Jacob Tower and Tyler Spencer return for Sammamish, which will swim in 2A for the first time this season. Interlake returns a handful of swimmers that made the 2A state meet last year, including Joe Lorr, Alex Lorenz, Tsukasa Ito, Albert Furlong, Jake Beauchamp and Sheridan Conrad, who was sixth in the 500 freestyle.
How does Bellevue bounce back after 2012 playoff run? None of the four Bellevue public high schools has made a girls basketball state tournament since Bellevue in 2008. But coach Leah Krauter’s Wolverines made an
unexpected run to the 2A/3A KingCo tournament title last year before bowing out one spot shy of the fifth and final berth to state from District 2. Katie Savard, a force on both ends of the floor, is gone to graduation, as is Carly Best. Bellevue does not have a single senior on the varsity roster for this season and will suit four freshman. While Bellevue looks to better its 2012 finish, Bellevue Christian will be after a 1A state tourney berth for the eighth straight season as they join the Nisqually League.
Can wrestlers break through at Mat Classic? Bellevue and coach Tom Ovens lost both of their state qualifiers to graduation. Jimmy Trull, who made the title match at 220 pounds, and fellow state qualifier Andy Ewing are both gone and leave sizable roles to be filled. Interlake faces a similar challenge, as Jake Wilson, Jacob Marks, Alex Giseburt and Chad Peterson leave coach Dave Unwin and the Saints looking for a new cast of contributors this year in Class 3A. Newport’s David Yingling made the field as a sophomore last year before suffering a first round defeat in the 4A tournament.
Do the Knights get back on top of the podium? Newport finished fourth in the team scoring at the 4A gymnastics state championships last year, behind Mount Rainier, KingCo rival Woodinville and state champion Mead. Candace Ho, who returns for her junior year after helping the Knights to a 4A team title in 2011, will be the leader after winning the state title in floor last year. Coach Melissa Baker said the leadership has been the best she has seen during her three seasons at Newport and a strong point of the team thus far. “We have a very young team,” Baker said. “It’s been really exciting because they are picking up on things really quickly.”

Game Day: Seahawks host Cardinals
...obituaries Terry M H Smith October 19, 1940 - November 19, 2012 Terry M H Smith, longtime Bellevue resident, passed away at the age of 72 on November 19, 2012. Terry is survived by his three siblings and their spouses: Sherry and Jim Ladd of Bellevue, Randy and Linda Smith of Port Orchard and Kip and Barb Smith of Ballard. Terry also had numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will miss him deeply. He was predeceased by his parents, Art and Gladys Smith, who brought the family to Bellevue in 1953. Terry graduated from Bellevue High School (class of ’59) and the University of Washington. Terry was born in Walla Walla, Washington, but moved to Seattle with the family when he was 5 years old. At the age of 16, he was in a serious car accident that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down and dependent upon a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Despite the many challenges presented by his circumstances, Terry persevered by working in radio broadcasting then pursuing a career at the Boeing Company. He lived independently, traveled and enjoyed his life fully until the day he died. He cherished his extended family and many friends, all of whom admired his tenacity and ability to accomplish tasks his doctors said shouldn’t be possible after such a serious injury. Terry leaves an inspiring legacy. Services will be held on Saturday, December 15 at 11:00 am at First Congregational Church, 752 108th Ave NE, Bellevue. Terry always focused on helping others, so in lieu of flowers, please consider a gift in Terry’s name to a charity of your choice. 711983

Golden Tate has shown a knack for the spectacular this year, including his go-ahead touchdown in the 4th quarter last week. COURTESY PHOTO Wisconsin now has 19 touchdowns on the year against only eight interceptions, none of which have come in the past four games. Both Golden Tate and Sidney Rice made their presence felt, each securing scores on the two fateful drives. The two are tied for the team lead in scoring (for a nonkicker). Arizona, which pulled out a 20-16 win over the Seahawks when a last-minute drive stalled near the goal line in the season’s first week, has been in a free-fall of late. Since a 4-0 start, the Cardinals have dropped the last eight games. John Skelton will start at quarterback for the Cardinals, which will face a Seattle secondary that will play its first of four games without starting cornerback Brandon Browner.

Coach Pete Carroll and the Seahawks will be back home on Sunday looking for a split in the season series with the Arizona Cardinals and to bolster ever-increasing chances of getting back into the postseason. Last weekend’s 23-17 overtime win over the Bears put Seattle back in the thick of the NFC playoff picture and with three divisional games remaining, including one against the leading San Francisco 49ers, a number of scenarios are still possible for the Seahawks to continue chasing the Lombardi Trophy. Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson put his name squarely in the middle of the Rookie of the Year conversation with a pair of touchdown drives, one as time was running down in the fourth quarter and another for the gamewinner in overtime.

Bellevue OKs budget with no new taxes By Celina Kareiva Bellevue Reporter
The Bellevue City Council passed its next biennium’s budget Monday night, voting 5-2 in favor. Capital and operating budgets will total $1.29 billion for 2013 and 2014, after small adjustments were made at the Nov. 26 meeting. Councilmembers Claudia Balducci and John Chelminiak voted against the budget, saying that it didn’t go far enough. “What was a little different about last night, was two councilmembers voted no for a different reason, which was that the budget didn’t go far enough in their minds,” said assistant city manager, Myrna Basich. “…It’s not unusual to not have an unanimous budget, but I’d say this was more along the lines of a philosophical difference of opinion.”
The 2013-2019 Capital Investment Program budget will include $6.2 million reserved for economic and neighborhood projects. No tax increases or layoffs were made under what was repeatedly labeled a “status quo” budget. And the general fund is expected to grow by 4.4 percent next year, and 3.2 percent the following year. “It’s not status quo,” Chelminiak rebuked at Monday’s meeting. “I think we’re going backwards…We’re the implementing committee, and if you ask: Do we have the political will to implement what we need to do? The answer from this budget is not yet. That’s bothersome to me.” Balducci echoed her colleague, saying that the city needed to return to long-range financial planning. Mayor Conrad Lee countered, saying that he was proud the council had found a plan that didn’t raise taxes, while meeting the city’s goals. “This is the result of an amazing effort by city staff, city council leadership and public support,” said Lee. Despite varied support for the budget, nearly everyone agreed that a more comprehensive discussion was long overdue. “There never seems to be the right year to have the conversation,” said Balducci. “…There’s got to be a time to talk about it. There’s got to be a time to discuss how we’re going to fund the big dreams and vision we have for this city because we owe it to the citizens to deliver, and to stay on the cutting edge.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290; ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com
PSE workers to help restore heat to Superstorm Sandy victims Two dozen Puget Sound Energy natural gas employees headed to New York on Dec. 4 to help restore heat for customers on Long Island faced with temperatures dipping into the 20s. PSE employees will work with National Grid to replace natural gas
meter sets damaged nearly five weeks ago by Superstorm Sandy; they also will inspect and relight equipment and appliances inside homes and businesses. PSE’s team of 21 technicians and three supervisors will work for 2½ weeks and return home the week-
end before Christmas. They will join natural gas crews from other utilities around the country. PSE received the mutual aid request from the Northeast Gas Association to help restore natural gas service for the storm-damaged communities on Long Island.
