Actor Patrick Dempsey brings star power to Tully’s stores BY LINDA BALL REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Patrick Dempsey, who plays Dr. Derek Shepherd, aka Dr. McDreamy, on the hit television show Grey’s Anatomy, was the winning bidder for the ailing Tully’s coffee chain, paying $9.15 million in a 13-hour auction Thursday, Jan. 3. The following day, he toured the Tully’s stores around Seattle, Bellevue and the Eastside, appearing at the Mercer Island location around 12:30 p.m. Dempsey said he bought the chain because of brand loyalty. “It would be a tragedy to let it shut down,” he said. “There’s so much loyalty between employees, and this will preserve some jobs.” Outside, a woman was overheard thanking him for saving jobs. Dempsey said he plans to visit Seattle at least twice a month to check on his investment. He said he loves Seattle – where Grey’s Anatomy is set.

East Link light rail’s finish date of 2023 might seem a ways off for commuters, but Bellevue residents can expect to see the project shift from the planning to a more nuanced design phase of operations early this year. Sound Transit will be collecting information on both public and private properties over the coming months, with fieldwork ranging from soil collection, to water level assessment and topography mapping. “From a project perspective, it’s exciting that we’re moving out of the planning phase to more detailed design activity,” said Don Billen, East Link deputy project director. “We’re one step closer to construction.” Fieldwork, says Billen, will help Sound Transit engineers create a detailed 3D model critical for project design. It will also help ST assess further cost-savings methods. Activities fall into four main categories. Geotechnical exploration will involve the drilling of holes four to 12 inches in diameter, to allow for the collection of core samples from the ground. Surveying will involve the tracking of buildings, roads, utilities, trees, fences and other features. Though utility maps exist for the city, crews also will dig holes to determine accurately where underground utilities like water or sewer pipes are located. Those holes are later refilled. Lastly, biologists will outline the city’s wetlands. East Link alignment in Mercer Slough Nature Park will impact the edges of wetlands and wetland buffers require a stricter definition of what those limits are, says Billen. That process may include the digging of shallow holes by biologists. While much of the fieldwork will be in public spaces, SEE SOUND TRANSIT, 11

Bellevue in top 10 in nation for new National Board Certified teachers The Bellevue School District has landed among the top 10 districts nationwide for numbers of new National Board Certified teachers. Numbers released Tuesday, Jan. 8 show Bellevue has 34 new National Board Certified teachers, more than any other district in the state. Bellevue currently has more than 380 National Board Certified teachers, which

amounts to nearly 30 percent of all teachers in Bellevue. National Board Certification is the highest credential available to educators. “The number of teachers who have chosen to pursue such a high standard is impressive, and directly supports the quality of instruction that all of our educators in the Bellevue district strive to provide to each child in every classroom, every day,”

observed Superintendent J. Tim Mills. Teachers who are Board Certified must complete a rigorous process and meet high standards regarding what educators should know and be able to do. Teachers who undertake the Board Certification process demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the education. The certification process takes one to three years and as many as 400

hours of work. Bellevue provides an unusually high level of support for teachers who seek board certification by helping them cover the cost of registration and initial assessment fees. In addition, the Bellevue Schools Foundation also provides support to NBCT candidates, investing more than $795,000 in the program since 2003.

Bellevue PD crack cold case A DNA hit by Bellevue Police on a 32-year-old cold case has led to the arrest of Michael Allan Halgren, 56, in the April 23, 1980 murder of Susan Barbara Lowe. Lowe, who was 19 when she died, was strangled to death by a pair of pantyhose. She was found in her apartment near Bellevue College. “It’s always rewarding to solve any case, but especially a cold case,” said Detective Lieutenant Jim Hershey. “To assist in some way the long awaited closure for family members of their loved one, is gratifying

for not only the family members but for all us at the Department.” Bellevue PD continued to investigate the case even after it went cold, but closure came when Halgren’s DNA was collected last year alongside other sexually violent offenders at the McNeil Island Special Commitment Center. Found to be a sexually violent predator, he was also convicted of the 1989 kidnapping and rape of another Bellevue female. Halgren has been transferred to King County Jail and a charge of first-degree murder was filed Wednesday morning.

Sammamish police officers responded to calls of multiple fights Friday, Jan. 4 at the local McDonald’s following a rival boys basketball game between Eastlake and Redmond. Witnesses told the officers that several Redmond High School students walked into the fast food restaurant following and began taunting Eastlake students. Redmond had just defeated Eastlake in a close game, 59-56.

A King County Superior Court jury on Thursday, Dec. 20, awarded King County $155.8 million in damages after finding a Brightwater tunneling contractor defaulted on key contractual obligations. The suit was filed in 2010 against joint-venture contractor Vinci Construction Grands Projets/ Parsons RCI/Frontier-Kemper, or VPFK. The county claimed VPFK failed to meet contractually-specified deadlines after two tunnel boring machines broke down several hundred feet beneath Lake Forest Park and Bothell in 2009.

LETTERS

Letter full of drivel The Reporter’s decision to include George Whitaker’s drivel on the papers Dec. 21 editorial page says an awful lot about your standards. He begins with the laughable contention that GOP has a “stranglehold” on the country. He follows that with the liberal obsession with the idea Bush “lied” on Iraq. His defense of Susan Rice is particularly absurd with suggestions “she was deliberately set up by the CIA.” (Either she was incompetent because she chose not to read the classified version or she lied) As a Republican, I deeply resent his claims we have a “deep seeded hate of Obama,” that the one percent, who already pay 25 percent of all the federal income taxes, pay more for the damage he claims they caused, and we “could not care less about the welfare of the country.” You should be ashamed.

Bill Hirt, Bellevue

crats.” First the writer did not give any evidence to support his Susan Rice accusations where he stated, “She and other Obama administration staff lied.” To make such an accusation without supportive data in a public forum is irresponsible. He then goes on to say that from 2008 to 2010 the Democraticcontrolled Senate could have passed anything it wanted. The Senate during that time only had a five-month window where it had enough votes (60 requirement) to override a filibuster due to the delay of the swearing in of Al Franken and the death of Ted Kennedy. Part of that window was during the summer break which reduced legislative time further. During this time, Republicans used the filibuster liberally. Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, stated that his number one goal was to make Obama a one-term president. He wanted to make it appear that President Obama was ineffective. Based on these facts, I feel Mr. Applestone is disingenuous or biased with regard to these issues.

Youth voices heard

I feel compelled to reply to a Dec. 28 letter titled “Blame the Demo-

I’m writing to share my experiences with Congressman Dave Re-

ichert’s Youth Board. Last year, as a student interested in policymaking, I didn’t hesitate to apply. I initially thought this would be a Republican board; however, I noticed immediately the diversity present among the 20 members, who come from across the district, including both strong liberals and conservatives. Throughout the year, we discussed public policy issues with the congressman in locations ranging from Issaquah to Enumclaw. By participating in these discussions and visiting different places, I feel we’ve come to understand better the opinions on both sides—by stepping into each other’s shoes. But most importantly, this board is a channel for youth voices to be heard. The younger population generally is more open to new ideas and more willing to explore. Now as bitter partisanship permeates Washington, D.C., perhaps the nation’s solutions lie among the youth. I applaud Rep. Reichert for creating this model board and encourage any high school student in the 8th Congressional District to join. If you live outside of the district, I urge you to contact your local officials to start their own youth council.

...obituaries Sherman K. Burd

Sherman Burd died on December 10, 2012, in Yakima, WA, where he and his wife, Frances, had recently moved to be near two of their daughters. Sherman was born on January 28, 1918, in Madison, WI, and moved with his family to Seattle at age 8, when his father took a position at the University of Washington. Sherm himself graduated from the U with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He made his career in that field, ultimately earning his P.E. and starting his own electrical engineering business. As a young man, Sherm worked in the fisheries industry in Alaska to pay for his college education. During one of these summers, he met Frances, who had been given a trip there as a high school graduation present from her brother. After their marriage and the birth of two daughters, in 1948 Sherm and Frances settled into their Bellevue home where they remained until fall of 2012. Alaska continued to figure prominently in his adult life -- his business and many of lifelong friends were centered there. To all who knew him, Sherm was a man of enormous loyalty and integrity whose mentorship set an example for many. Sherm was deeply proud of the four women he left behind -- his wife, Frances, and his daughters Janice (Jon Conrad), Nancy (Geoff Hodge), and Stephanie (Steve Weise). Having had no sons of his own, he was doubly proud to be the grandparent of 5 wonderful grandsons, Andrew and Benjamin (Janice); Ian (Nancy); Peter and Joel (Stephanie), and of his new role as “GGPa” to his great grandchildren, Grady and McKenna (Andrew). In addition, he leaves behind loving nieces and nephews and their families, all located in the Pacific NW, who will miss him. Sherm’s long, productive life can be attributed to his strength of mind and body, to the care and concern of his family, to the discoveries of modern medicine -- and to his good luck. His myelogenous leukemia was kept at the chronic level for many years because of the expertise of his doctors and the wonders of modern drugs. In the hopes that others so afflicted can find treatment and ultimately a cure, his family asks that gifts in his memory be directed to the Seattle Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society -http://www.lls.org/#/aboutlls/chapters/ or 123 Northwest 36th Street #100 Seattle, WA 98107 (206) 628-0777 A memorial service in his memory will be held on Saturday, January 26, at 11:00 a.m. at the Highland Community Center, 14224 Bel Red Road, Bellevue, WA.

Finding your next read

ne of my favorite things to do as a librarian is recommend books. I enjoyed it when Evelyn, a former volunteer, would frequently ask me for recommendations. Her tastes differ from mine so it was always a challenge. I prefer gritty, dark fiction and she likes gentle reads, often about British women vacationing on the coast of somewhere warm, or mysteries without violence. I had been Darcy Brixey able to find her quaint novels before and I made a few new recommendations based on books I had heard about. One day I made a recommendation for a title that contained a slightly tasteless scene that put her off and she started asking others for recommendations. I was crushed. I should have used Novelist. Novelist is another database subscribed to by the King County Library system. When you visit the database page, www.kcls.org/ databases, you will find it under the alphabetical list, or under the subject heading marked reading. Once you log on with your card number and PIN, you can start search-

www.BellevueReporter.com ing for a new book. There are multiple ways to use the database. You can search for authors and titles, or browse by genre and subgenre or find a new series. It’s easy to look up a title you’ve enjoyed to find a read-alike list based off the book and author. There are special sections for award winners within genres or across fiction. Advanced searches allow you to pinpoint the audience of a book such as adult, young adult or children’s, publication date, and lexile level. Once you have selected a title, you can read professional reviews on the book, Good Reads ratings and find book group discussion guides. Book records include genre, tone and pace of the story, so you will know if it is upbeat and happy or if the writing style is witty or lyrical. There is also a link to take you directly to the item in the KCLS catalog so you can start placing your holds. Create a personal log in to save titles you have read, or create a list of things you’d like to read or email finds to your book group members. I could have avoided making a bad recommendation by using Novelist. Under the category of mysteries, I looked over subheadings of It’s Getting Very Noir in Here, Crafty Crimes and finally settled on Getting Cozy. That list of cozy mysteries is the perfect fit for Evelyn’s search. What’s your next read? Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library.

While MS Remains Shrouded in Mystery, MS Society Drives the Search for a Cure What causes multiple sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system? Scientists are working on several factors that they think might be involved, but so far the exact cause remains a mystery. What is known is that MS affects 400,000 individuals in the U.S. and 2.1 million worldwide. About 200 people are diagnosed with this condition each week and women are more than twice as likely as men to contract this incurable and often debilitating condition. The disease most commonly strikes people between the ages of 20 and 50. MS attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms can range from mild, such as numbness in the limbs, to severe, including paralysis or loss of vision. Possible suspects in the cause of MS include the immune system, the environment, infectious diseases and genetics. What might trigger an abnormal response of the body’s immune system to cause MS? Why does MS occur more often in areas

away from the equator? Does childhood exposure to viruses, bacteria or other microbes trigger the onset of MS years later? Why does having a close family member with MS increase one’s odds of coming down with it? Scientists from around the world are searching for answers. While they do, the Greater Northwest Chapter of the National MS Society is working to mobilize people and resources to help drive that research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS and to provide programs and services that help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. Headquartered in Seattle, the Greater Northwest Chapter serves over 12,000 people living with MS in 23 counties of western and central Washington as well as people throughout Alaska and Montana. The Oregon Chapter serves more than 7,500 individuals with MS and their families in Oregon and SW Washington.

Bellevue PD demotes two after extramarital affair The Bellevue Police Department demoted two senior officers for failing to report an extramarital relationship that began in January of 2012. Former Major John Manning and former Capt. Autumn Fowler were both demoted to the rank of lieutenant and will report to Major Jerry Litzau for assignment. An anonymous police captain reported the relationship to Manning’s wife and the department. According to a disciplinary letter by Police Chief Linda Pillo, nothing indicates that the extramarital affair took place during duty hours or on city property. Public information officer, Carla Iafrate, said that she would not be participating in interviews at the moment, but indicated that the news hadn’t helped department morale. Chief Pillo wrote to Major Manning: “You consciously disregarded the interests of the Department to further your own

personal interests. This was not a momentary lapse in judgment.” The news comes on the heels of an earlier demotion and the disciplining of two other off-duty officers at a Seahawks game last September. A fan reported the unruly behavior, which included the taunting of a Seattle police officer. Two of the officers were later kicked out of the stadium for their actions. Iafrate clarified that the demotion was because neither individual reported the eight-month affair, and because department policy requires that officers avoid conflicts of interest, which could endanger “the integrity or operations of the Bellevue Police Department.” Disciplinary letters indicate that Chief Pillo will fire either officer should they repeat the violation, or should similar misconduct persist.

Sound Publishing buys Seattle Weekly Sound Publishing, the state’s largest community news organization, today purchased the Seattle Weekly. Details of the purchase were not disclosed. The Weekly, a freely distributed newspaper in Seattle and nearby cities, was purchased from Village Voice Media Holdings. The Seattle Weekly reaches over 200,000 unique print and digital readers every week with more than 1,500 outdoor news boxes and in-store racks throughout Seattle and nearby areas. It was founded in 1976 by Darrell Oldham and David Brewster. Founded in 1987, Sound Publishing publications reach more than 500,000 homes weekly with over 700,000 monthly digital readers. Sound publishes 36 daily, weekly and monthly community newspapers and magazines, including the Bellevue Reporter, in addition to the Little Nickel Classifieds in western Washington and northern Oregon. Sound also operates a state of the art print facility in Everett, WA. “We think highly of the Seattle Weekly and its faithful readership,” said Gloria Fletcher, President of Sound Publishing. “The Weekly fits quite well into Sound Publishing’s culture of delivering unique and relevant content to both print and digital readers.” “The addition of the Seattle Weekly to Sound’s print and

digital portfolio is very exciting,” said Josh O’Connor, VP of East Sound Newspaper Operations. “The Weekly opens up many possibilities for readers, advertisers and the communities that we serve. We appreciate the editorial focus on local news, culture and the arts. This publication has been a leader in shaping Seattle for many decades and we look forward to managing this business in the future.” The purchase of the Seattle Weekly came in tandem with a separate purchase of the SF Weekly by the San Francisco Examiner which is owned primarily by David Black, Chairman of Black Press and other Black Press executives. Black Press is the parent company of Sound Publishing. Black Press operates more than 170 newspapers in western Canada and Washington in addition to the Honolulu StarAdvertiser and Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal. The Seattle Weekly and the San Francisco Weekly will be operated independently of one another. The Seattle Weekly is known for political and governmental reporting as well as music and arts coverage. It publishes a number of special issues throughout the year on topics such as a spring and fall arts guide, dining guide, special coverage of the Seattle International Film Festival and Bumbershoot. Sound Publishing has executive offices in Bellevue and Poulsbo. The Seattle Weekly will remain based in Seattle.

Higher utility rates due to maintenance BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

While all eyes were on Bellevue’s capital and operating budgets this winter, utility rates faced an increase of 10.1 percent in 2013, and an additional 5.9 percent the following year, an increase that some residents have labeled stealth taxes, in a budget year otherwise referred to as “status quo.” The rate increases were mostly attributed to infrastructure maintenance and key capital projects, as well as a basic pass-through of the cost of water sold by Cascade Water Alliance and Waste Water treatment by King County. The average Bellevue household would see monthly bill increases from $123.52 to $135.97 in the first year implemented. “The thing to remember is that utilities is not a government function,” said Nav Otal, director of the department. “It’s a business working and operating with the city of Bellevue. So we don’t have any tax revenues. In fact, just the opposite, we pay taxes to the city of Bellevue like any other business does.

That’s the first thing most people don’t realize.” While the city may experience a development boom, as it has in recent years, that keeps property taxes from spiking, utilities has no natural growth as far as inflation. Otal adds that in this year’s budget and the last, utilities has done a lot of cost containment, even laying off employees and cutting costs in the utility’s conservation program. But above all, she says, the department has a responsibility to maintain service. Of the rate increases, 6.1 percent is attributed to wholesale expenses, and 2.2 percent to construction. Fifty-seven percent of the budget is bills the department pays to others, a slice of the budgetary pie Otal says the department has no discretion over. Most of the city’s system was constructed in a narrow window of time, said Otal, as the city developed at a rapid rate in the ’50s and ’60s. Asbestos cement was used in piping, though it has since been found to deteriorate at a faster rate than other materials. When it breaks, it can result in catastrophic failure.

YOU BELONG HERE

JOIN NOW FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE

Otal predicts rate increases of two to three percent a year for the near future in order to renew the city’s 1,600 miles of pipeline. “Utilities is unfortunately kind of out-ofsight-out-of-mind,” she said. “People just don’t think about utilities until there’s some disruption of service. Otherwise you turn on the tap water, it comes safe to drink, and nobody thinks about it.” Several residents, who wished to remain anonymous, pointed out that while bills themselves may seem reasonable, even the $8 average monthly increase in 2014, might not be feasible for some low-income families. Additionally, the city’s message of “no new taxes,” was dishonest, they argued. Patricia Burgess, Conservation and Outreach program administrator for Bellevue Utilities, which runs a utility rate and tax relief program for certain low-income and qualifying residents, says

that applicants in the last year have increased slightly, though that upward tick could be due to Bellevue’s annexation of several neighborhoods. But concerned residents and the utility department can both agree that what’s at stake is something nobody can do without. “We have this unique challenge because the system is getting old and that’s something our customer doesn’t see,” said Otal. “If you have a road with potholes you know they’re there. If you have a pipe that’s decaying, nobody knows until it bursts.” Otal added residents can expect gradual rate increases for the next several years while capital projects, like the pipeline renewal, are undertaken.

renewed obligation to provide our avian neighbors with a handout. The local hummingbirds have been on welfare for years, so we asked ourselves, Why not add small perching birds to the list of recipients of our largesse and use the products we bought a year ago? So, on a recent cold but sunny day my husband hung the feeders. Seeds, suet and the approach of winter came together to bring a few small birds to the hanging troughs, leaving the larger ones — robins and jays — to scavenge the leftovers that spilled to the ground. What we didn’t count on was that five little birds had one hundred and five friends and relations and a fast way to contact them all. Soon the bird population parking in our our backyard measured up to the number of cars in the Bellevue Square garage the week before Christmas.

A look at Bellevue’s past

Ship canal opens, local mill sues The opening of the Lake Washington Ship Canal in 1916 changed the financial as well as the physical landscape of Bellevue. After the “cut” lowered Lake Washington by nine feet, any business dependent upon the water had to adapt or perish. The logging mill on Wilburton Hill perished. The first logging camp on COURTESY PHOTO, the hill appeared in 1901 under Eastside Heritage Center the direction of Manley Wilbur. It was later purchased by Wade Hewitt and Charles Lea, who formed the appropriately named Hewitt Lea Lumber Co. In its heyday, the company had a daily capacity of 75,000 board feet of lumber and 170,000 shingles. Much of this lumber was rafted down Mercer Slough to Lake Washington. When the lake dropped, the mill’s best means of transporting its product went with it. Forced to close in 1918, the company sued King County successfully for $125,000. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. Material is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center. For more information call 425-450-1049.

n Alfred Hitchcock’s tale, a few seagulls dropped by a neighborhood in Bodega Bay, Calif., for no apparent reason and then lured sparrows and crows to join them in attacking the residents. My story is less suspenseful. The subjects are starlings, sparrows, juncos, finches and flickers and the reason they come to my backyard is obvious: free eats. Ann Oxrieder The only mystery is how the early arrivers managed to telegraph the availability of food to half the bird population of Bellevue. When it snowed last January, my husband and I bought suet, seeds and dispensers, stored them in the garage – it was way too cold and icy for us to go outside – and forgot about them. This year we felt a

10-pound bag four days. Yesterday we brought home a 20 pounder. The bills we are now running up for bird feasts reminded us of the expenses of the “free” cat we brought home 15 years ago. Years of regular visits to the vet, following his going 10 rounds in the ring with another neighborhood feline, cost us enough to have purchased dozens with pedigrees. Now, as a senior pet, he needs high blood pressure medication, pain medication for his elbow, and high-priced food for his kidneys. At least he’s too old and arthritic to chase after the birds. Despite my complaints, I admit that we do derive pleasure from these pets. The cat purrs all over us and keeps us warm, and the birds entertain us at a cost much cheaper than a movie. And if the situation gets too bad, we can ship them all to Bodega Bay.

Intelligent design Interlake students ushering in next wave of robotics BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

For generations of American children, Legos have provided an introduction to engineering, applied creativity and countless hours of youthful exuberance. Alisha Saxena and Tyler Okamoto believe they can be a pathway to even more. Saxena, a 16-year-old junior, said she became interested in robotics after a summer class through the University of Washington when she was in middle school. The ability to craft sheets of metal and pieces of wood into moving, acting robots immediately piqued her interest. Okamoto began even earlier, crafting his first robots from Legos as part of the Lego League at his elementary school. “It’s great how you can take inanimate objects and create something that does human functions,” Saxena said. “It’s like magic.” After honing their own skills in competitions through Lego Mindstorms and eventually Interlake High School’s Saints Robotics program, Saxena had the idea of beginning a mentorship program to broaden and enhance the robotics experience for elementary and

middle school students. With the help of Okamoto, their parents, and another mentor from Interlake, Saxena founded the TechnoLOGICians, a roboticsfocused group for youngsters 9-14 who are interested in robotics and its applications to daily life. The program began as a fundraising opportunity for Saints Robotics, but quickly grew into something more when the teen mentors realized the possibilities. “We’ve had an overwhelming response,” Saxena said. “Part of the reason I started this team is to give kids the opportunity I didn’t have.” Lego Mindstorms, a branch of the wildly popular building-block toys, offers a line of sensors, attachments, accessories and most importantly, the NXT, a computer controlled nerve center for the robot. Students then construct robots to provide a variety of functions they will eventually test at the competition. Saxena has taken that a step further, creating a project called, “Senior Solutions” that uses the Lego Mindstorm technology to create devices that will assist senior citizens. One of the first pieces they fashioned was a cane outfitted with sesnors that let the walker know if he or she is too close to a wall, door or other object.

Reporter

“It’s very tangible,” Okamoto said. “The kids can see the pieces fit together and grasp it really easily.” While helping the Saints Robotics team to a top finish at this year’s high school competition is certainly a goal, Saxena is more focused on the long-term impact of the mentorship program, which now has nine teams that will compete in the middle school portion of the VEX Robotics

competition. She is also working to build the profile of a non-profit organization that focuses on STEM (science, technology, engineering and match) learning for thirdworld youth. “I hope to have a global impact,” she said. “That is part of the reason I started this team.” Josh Suman: 425-453-5045 jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Sound Transit predicts work on some private properties along the alignment. ST staff are required to request right-ofentry permission from property owners, before doing so. Billen assured that outreach has already begun. “Whether it’s public property or private, in advance, we’ll go out and notify nearby neighbors, whether they’re a business or residential, that this work is going to be occurring.” Some cost-savings ideas – like shifting Bellevue Way west, or the relocation of a downtown station to Northeast Sixth Street or to the City Hall Plaza – have raised concerns about increased traffic in the Enatai neighborhood and reduced ridership in one of East Link’s most productive stations. But despite disagreements, Billen expects most residents will be responsive to the fieldwork: “Regardless of people’s opinions, there’s a general understanding that we’re getting more to inform our decision.” Sound Transit expects the fieldwork to be relatively unobtrusive, except for

Sound Transit crews drill on 110th Avenue in downtown Bellevue. More fieldwork, most expected to be relatively low-impact, is planned for the next several months. COURTESY PHOTO, Sound Transit projects on private property and the occasional road work. Last week, crews drilled on 110th Avenue in downtown Bellevue. Except for occupying a portion of the turn lane, traffic flowed north and south around the drill. Activity will be concentrated on East Link alignment, in downtown

Bellevue, along 112th and Bellevue Way, and in the Bel-Red corridor. An addendum will be published at the end of March, assessing cost-savings impacts, with a decision planned for April by the Sound Transit board. Major construction in Bellevue is expected to begin in mid-2015.

SERVICE

Fast. Professional. Friendly.

Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964

Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating “There are lots of great reviews from Q customers on your web:

site – what’s different about Fox technicians and service that brings such good results?”

: Well, I go back to my roots, the fact that I built my skills and a great career, supported my family, and created living wage jobs, invested in my community all through being a tradesman and continually honing my skills. At Fox Plumbing and Heating our work force is the best trained in the business. The equipment and technology is constantly changing and new products are always being introduced, so we are continually training our crews. There are many fine people who with the right training and support develop in to fantastic employees with superior skills. When you invest in your employees, you are investing in your customers. Any business owner knows that employee turnover is expensive and that your employees are a reflection of who you are as a business owner. My name and reputation are all over Fox Plumbing and Heating and I believe in personal and corporate integrity…it’s simply a core value of this company, reflected in our mission statement, staff training and the way we treat our customers.

else sets you apart from other plumband heating companies in the area?” Qing“What A :

: We’re focused on the right things, great service and great work. I’d just like to ask people to make sure to have Fox give them an estimate on their next plumbing or heating job and see in writing one of the differences. We will give you a fair estimate in a timely fashion and we have the best written warranties in the business. Our customer service is so superior to our

competitors that we keep most of our customers for life. 80% of our new customers come from current customer referrals, I’m proud of this and plan to keep doing what works…caring about people, doing professional work.

heard about your Customer Referhow does it work?” Qral“I’veProgram, A :

: Well I continually review my business, checking the data, always looking at where my customers come from, because of course we want to continue to grow and invest our advertising dollars in programs that expand our customer base. Through this data analysis we could see that 80% of our new customers were coming from our current customers. I wanted to put some energy into a Customer Referral Program both to thank our customers as well as to build business. I also operate on the “keep it simple” philosophy knowing that what people really need and want is cash, not points or some other confusing so-called bonus. So very simply, you refer Fox Plumbing and Heating and you are entered to win $500 cash. We hold the drawings twice a year in March and September and the more you refer your friends, relatives and colleagues, the more chances you have to win. We then take pictures and tell their story on our website, with their permission, both to honor them and to spread the word about Fox Plumbing and Heating.

“You just introduced new heating and services – what’s included?” Qcooling A

excellent skills and excellent attitudes. We’ve found them, trained them and are getting great feedback from our customers. It’s very exciting to add this new dimension to our business, heating and air conditioning, and of course the same great 24 hour service.

Q “Do you have any specials?” A :

: Glad you asked and of course we do! We want to introduce as many people as possible to our new heating and air conditioning services so we have a complete HVAC tune up for just $99, this is a limited time offer. No one wants their furnace not to work properly as the days and nights get colder, it’s also a good time to get the air conditioning looked at, we had such a beautiful summer folks used their equipment more this year. The thing we want people to know about Fox Plumbing and Heating is that we’ve been here since 1964 and we’ll be here long into the future because we are committed to helping people save money and delivering great service. We always have solid money saving specials, but what’s really special about Fox is how we do business every day with integrity and professionalism, our customers will tell you.

: The expansion into heating, furnaces and air conditioning is a direct result of customer demand, our phones were ringing off the hook with requests, one month last winter we received over 100 calls for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) services. I wanted to expand in this area, but wouldn’t do it until I had the right team on board. I mean what I say and it took some time to find the right people with

James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service. He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years.

Tabitha is a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix. Her whimsical ears and furrowed brow are only a tiny part of what makes her so irresistible. Give Tabitha a squeaky toy and watch her puppy spirit come alive from the twitch of her little nose to the end of her wagging tail.

Chiyo was surrendered to Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter by her previous owners. Her owners were moving a lot (typically every six months), and this became so stressful for Chiyo that she began pulling out her hair. Chiyo would like a stable home where she can settle in and know she’ll be safe. She is an extremely affectionate cat who loves to give head butts and demands that you pet her. She doesn’t seem to like the company of other cats, so she’d prefer to be queen of your household. Chiyo is up for adoption at Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter’s offsite adoption center inside Bellevue Petsmart (100 108th Ave N.E, near Toys ‘R Us).

Bellevue’s Jack records five tackles in All-American bowl Myles Jack finished the U.S. Army All-American Bowl with five total tackles, including one for a loss, in the West team’s 15-8 loss to the East in the U.S. Army All-American bowl. The 6-foot-3, 230 pound linebacker is currently committed to UCLA to play football and continue his education, though he also has an official visit scheduled for the University of Washington, where fellow Bellevue linebacker Sean Constantine is headed.

Beating to his own drum Sammamish boy’s washing machine video goes viral

BY KEVIN ENDEJAN

■ Ryan James Gallery Opening: The new space features work from local artists including Susan Melrath, Louise Hankes, Sean Harwin and Brad Kataoka. Friday, Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. Ryan James Gallery, Elements Building, 989 112th AVE NE Space #102, Bellevue. Jonathan Carollo, 11, shows off his unique drumming skills on his parent's washing machine. KEVIN ENDEJAN, REPORTER PAPERS But he’s always enjoyed making beats around the house. “If I can’t use the washing machine because there’s clothes in there, I like to do it on furniture or on myself,” he said. “My sister doesn’t really like it when I’m going to drum practice and I’m drumming on the seats.” Dan, who has released several of his own albums, said he isn’t surprised by Jonathan’s ability. “He has a unique talent for recognizing rhythm, he’s just quite good at doing things fast,” he said. Jonathan isn’t sure where he wants to take drumming yet. He aspires to be in the school band and possibly a drum line, but that’s as far as he’s looking ahead. “I don’t think it’s going to be my job,” he said, noting right now he might be better playing the washing machine than his actual drum set. Jonathan’s newest obsession is performing home science experiments. And with his intuition and creativity, there’s no telling — maybe the next viral internet video is right around the corner. “He really just likes to discover new things.

REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Susan Carollo wasn’t sure what her son Jonathan was up to. The Sammamish mother of three heard quick bursts of banging on the washing machine, but when she investigated, the culprit, her middle child, had already vanished. “By the time you could get in there and say, ‘Why are you banging on the washing machine,’ he was done, he was gone,” she said. It turns out Jonathan, 11, was simply rehearsing for his big performance — a video that is approaching 1.5 million views on YouTube. When Dan Carollo, a successful acoustic guitarist, first noticed what his son was doing, he knew it was special. For fun, he filmed Jonathan performing a 1 minute, 13 second solo on the family’s Super Queen, super-capacity plus, 14-cycle washer. Using everything from the lid to the stainless steel inside the machine, Jonathan created a percussion beat reminiscent of a one-man drum line. “The washing machine really just had the right combination of sound to make it interesting,” Dan said. “That raw, original sound, he just really loves that.” When Dan showed the video to his friends, they told him it would be a hit on the internet. He scoffed at the idea. “Someone I was talking to said this will go viral and I was like ‘Oh, right,’” he said. Posted in late September, the video had only 200 views up until Christmas Eve. In a two-week span, it has gained well over 1 million views. “I don’t have a good explanation as to why it happened,” said Dan, who noted the video caught fire after he posted to it Reddit.com The increase in popularity has already resulted in national exposure on “The Today Show” and “Good Morning America.” “So far it’s been all fun and games, no problem at all,” said Susan, who moments later answered a call from the “Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Jonathan, a fifth grader at McAuliffe Elementary, said he’s surprised, but pleased by the attention. He became interested in drumming after listening to one of his dad’s favorite bands, Rush, and the group’s drummer, Neil Peart. He got his first drum set, an old Pearl model, a little over a year ago and has taken lessons once a week since.
