$32.5 million deal to bring offices, residents to Overlake Site former Group Health Hospital

BY ANDY NYSTROM REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

The former Group Health Hospital and clinic site in the Overlake area has been sold for $32.5 million, setting the stage for 1.1 million square feet of office space, 1,400 residential units and nearly 300 hotel rooms.

Capstone Partners and its investment partner Lionstone U.S. Land Two, L.P. announced the purchase of the 28-acre site

on March 15. The property is Redmond, but just north of the Bellevue city limits.

“It is hard to imagine a better urban in‐fill site in the Puget Sound — significant density adjacent to a highway, across the street from Microsoft and within a few blocks of every major retailer a household could need,” said Mike Hubbard of Capstone.

“Our vision for Overlake to be an urban center that’s tech friendly has been in the city’s plans for at least 14 years, if not more,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “It’s going to

have a light-rail station in 2023.

It’s exciting to see this new neighborhood start to poke out of the ground, and over the next five to 10 years, we’re going to see it bloom.”

Marchione said he also envisions Overlake as a pedestrianfriendly village with residents walking to work at nearby companies like Microsoft, Nintendo and Honeywell.

Around 1,000 trees will be removed from the site in order for Capstone to build on the site. The company agreed to plant 3,000 trees throughout the Redmond

For example, the monthly cost of a 32-gallon cart would be half as much as a 64-gallon cart; now, 69 percent of residents are at or below the 32-gallon size. Rate impacts for individual customers would depend on the size of their garbage container. The goal is to encourage waste prevention and recycling, with customers downsizing their garbage carts.

The next step in the process will be to incorporate Monday’s comments from the council into a request to solicit proposals, including costs, from interested haulers.

Medical marijuana shop hits snag in Bellevue

BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

When David Ahl opened Green Tree Medical two years ago in Lake City, the business was an almost instant success. People came from as far as the Eastside to the medicinal marijuana collective.

After several years, Ahl and his business partner, Seth Simpson, thought it an obvious next step to expand their market.

Last year they applied for a business permit and began looking for locations in Bellevue, buoyed by Eastsider support for I-502.

Now, the pair is complaining of a “marijuana moratorium” on the part of the city. An exhaustive permitting process and the uncharted waters of medicinal marijuana on the Eastside have all but stalled their business plans.

“There was nobody over here,” says Simpson. “Really this area needs a patient-to-patient network; it needs the ability to get their medicine, instead of having to travel all the way to Seattle.”

In spring of 2012, the company filed for a Bellevue business license at 12819 SE 38th St. near Factoria mall. It was granted.

Later that year, in December, the company signed the lease at 10600 Main Street in downtown and requested that a modification be made to the business license.

Seth Simpson stands at the location where he and his business partner, David Ahl, hope to eventually open Greenside Medical, a medicinal marijuana dispensary on the Eastside. CELINA KAREIVA, Bellevue Reporter That request was denied.

Now Ahl and Simpson, who say they should have opened in January, are fighting “tooth-andnail” to see their business plans through. The city meanwhile claims that medicinal marijuana facilities are prohibited under the multiple-land-use district of downtown Bellevue.

Interim ordinance 6058, adopted last May, allows medicinal gardens only in areas zoned light

industrial, general commercial and medical institution, and prohibits them within 1,000 feet of schools and churches. Around the same time, councilmembers directed legal staff to develop a more permanent regulation for medical marijuana.

Green Tree Medical’s planned location is in an unassuming building. Recently, a fresh coat of white paint was applied. The floors were redone, and windows

and doors added. Ahl says he wants to maintain a professional image and renovations help toward that. In Seattle, its customer base is largely patients aged 45 to 60, all of whom are required to have authorization.

Green Tree Medical had originally planned to operate a private patient-to-patient network for medicinal marijuana, selling herbal remedies and some miscellaneous goods. Though Ahl says the facilities would not include a collective garden on the Eastside, letters from the city attorney claim that collective gardens include delivery facilities, not just “the ground in which the cannabis is grown.”

“Given the [land use code’s] broad prohibitory language, any land use at the Main Street location that involves the cultivation, production, delivery or sale of medical cannabis is prohibited,” writes the office of the city attorney, in a letter addressing Green Tree Medical.

But Kurt Boehl, attorney for Green Tree Medical, says just because medicinal marijuana is not directly addressed in the city’s Downtown-MU Land Use district, is not grounds to arbitrarily prohibit it.

Simpson stands in the space he hopes eventually will be Green Tree Medical’s bud room. A strip

of glass shelves has been installed, but for the most part the space is barren. Simpson and Ahl plan to continue fighting the city, though they admit its a costly battle. In the meantime, the pair hopes to open as a retail space for growop equipment, allowing them to hold onto the location and recoup some of the money lost in their stalled plans.

Boehl says that in Seattle alone, his clients’ business brought in $400,000 in tax revenue. He expects that number to double for the Eastside, and hopes the city will recognize the potential for profit.

In December, ex-Microsoft manager Jamen Shively announced plans to open a storefront for premium grade pot following the passage of I-502.

Ahl and Simpson point to his story, and the number of Bellevue residents who voted in favor of legalization. The tide, they say, is changing.

“The writing is on the wall with I-502 and legalization,” says Boehl. “Why not grab the bull by its horns and address it.”

EDITORIAL

Court did its job, Legislature should, too

W

e see some conservatives in our state are upset over what they see as “activism” by the state Supreme Court. Specifically, they’re peeved the court has ordered the Legislature to spend more money on education. At the same time, they’re upset the court has ruled that it only takes a simple majority for the Legislature to increase taxes.

Spending and collecting money, these lawmakers say, is the job of the Legislature.

Well, yes – and no.

Conservatives are correct that justices don’t write budgets or set tax rates. But it’s incorrect to say the courts don’t have a voice in making sure these functions are legally done.

Yes, the high court has told lawmakers the state needs to spend more money on education. But that’s because our state constitution says education is the “paramount duty” of the state. It’s hard to make the case the state is really doing that when the percent of the state budget spent on education goes down and down each year.

Lawmakers could simply take sufficient money from other state programs and give it to schools to satisfy the judges. Of course, that wouldn’t leave much money to carry out other state functions, but, hey, the judges didn’t say the task would be easy.

Which brings up the second issue: the need for only a simple majority to do so.

The high court waded in on the issue when a lawsuit was brought challenging the requirement that raising taxes takes a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. The judges said, according to the state constitution, that’s not so; it only takes a simple majority.

Some people might not like that, but in both cases, the judges were just doing their job – interpreting the state constitution. The Legislature now should do it’s job and fix the problem.

Hair today, grown back tomorrow

F

or most of my life I’ve been defined by my crazy, curly, lion-like red hair. That’s why cutting it all off tends to be a pretty big deal. Especially if it’s a bad haircut.

I remember the first time I got a haircut that was actually really terrible.

I think I was 10-years-old. I wanted a messy bob cut. What I got was a fashionable mullet. To say the end result wasn’t what I expected is an understatement.

Many tears and a year full of butterfly clips later, my hair was back to a “normal” length. Thank goodness.

Keegan Prosser Two weeks ago I cut all of my hair off.

Well, not ALL of it – just 18 inches. And donated it to Locks of Love – a nonprofit organization that uses donated locks to make hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada suffering from long-term medical hair loss.

LETTERS

Obama not acting like a leader In a move rife with politics (and no sense what-so-ever) the Obama administration has seen fit to release over 2,000 illegal aliens on an unsuspecting US population.

The strategy, of course, is to make the states, particularly the red ones like Arizona, suffer as much as possible in this manufactured sequester crisis. If things are going too well, then the White House wants to ratchet it up: don’t send a needed aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf, release prisoners, slow airport lines, and close White House tours. Any dire consequence that can be laid at the sequester will be considered.

It’s time for Obama to start acting like a leader.

There are some obvious areas he

This wasn’t the first time I’ve donated my hair. In fact, in the past eight years, I’ve donated 41 inches of my hair.

Another understatement? My hair grows fast.

I understand the pace my hair grows is not a normal one. And I understand that not everyone can meet the requirements set for “donated hair.” But I do believe, if you’re able, you should give it a go; donate your hair to someone who can’t grow their own.

Sure, beauty is a big deal in American society – the idea of falling victim to a “bad haircut” can be a frightening one. But it can be avoided. This time around, I had a clearer vision of what I wanted – and a bad haircut, it was not. For the time being, I’m rocking a sassy new ‘do.

Did you catch that? For the time being. Because that’s the beauty of hair: for most of us, it grows back.

Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602 kprosser@bellevuereporter.com

could cut expenses at no pain to the American taxpayer. For openers he has added over 200,000 federal jobs since occupying the White House. If he cut those in half we could save $10 billion a year. How about cutting or stopping foreign aid? Giving money to a hostile state like Egypt is patently ridiculous. Then there’s smaller things like having both Obamas on the same Air Force 1 for their luxury vacations.

Maybe we could save enough gas to fuel that aircraft carrier.

Of course doing any of these things would not further Obama’s agenda for 2014. He’s hoping to move enough Republicans out so he won’t be held accountable for anything. Ever. Then we will really see a spending crisis.

Denny Andrews, Bellevue

Punish the irresponsible behavior Which is more dangerous – a gun owner who uses the weapon respon-

sibly and never hurts anyone, or a car driver who uses his vehicle irresponsibly and kills two people because he is drunk?

Both can kill and both can save a person’s life. It is not the weapon’s fault, but the use.

And yes, a car is a weapon when used irresponsibly. (A March 25 report about a fatal wreck in Seattle said the driver had multiple DUI arrests over the past few years.) Two people are dead.

Different laws apply to each weapon, but there are some parallels that need to be drawn. Before we overcontrol gun ownership, maybe we need to stiffen the penalty for drunken drivers. The laws need to punish those for irresponsible behavior, regardless of how a person is killed.

We need to keep any weapon out of the hands of irresponsible people, and when people kill, they need to be punished accordingly.

REPORTER Q/A | Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo The Reporter sat down with Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo to discuss her perspective on issues facing the department and law enforcement. Following is an edited version of that conversation. A longer story is online at www.bellevuereporter.com

Q A Q A

Chief Linda Pillo began her career in law enforcement on Mercer Island in 1979. She came to Bellevue in 1986 and began her career in Bellevue by working patrol. She rose up through the ranks serving in a variety of assignments before becoming Bellevue’s first female Police Chief in 2008.

She is a member of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, The International Association of Police Chiefs and the Bellevue Downtown Rotary. She also is a board member of the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), a national organization that maintains standards for public safety agencies.

How would describe the Bellevue Police Department in one word?

Linda Pillo: Outstanding. Our organization is made of of highly trained trained professional personnel.

What do you think is the biggest concern by the community?

Well, in the last few months, we’ve certainly taken a hit with three unrelated personnel matters. Each incident has its particular nuances, so you can’t just put everybody into a bucket and say “fire them all.” We did our research and I truly believe that the discipline that was imposed on these employees was fair and also quite firm. And my colleagues equally agreed.

Q A

What’s your biggest frustration?

Personnel issues. We are hiring human beings and we want them to be super-human, but they are definitely human and they make mistakes. But there are many, many good things.

Q A

What are some of those?

We respond and investigate calls that many agencies in this region do not even send an officer out on. We actually have solved many car prowl crimes through latent fingerprints. Just recently, we solved a homicide from 1980 – a cold case. It was fantastic the way our detectives still had those cases open. The majority of residents feel safe walking around their neighborhood and downtown, even after dark. That says a lot.

Q A

What are the challenges of dealing with an increasingly diverse community?

Language is a big barrier. Then we have the cultural piece. In many countries, there’s a fear of law enforcement. That’s why we are proactive, getting out in the community and letting them know that we are there to help.

Q A

Talk about police officers in the schools.

We have a school resource officer in every one of our high schools and one middle officer who is spending his time working through the middle schools. It’s a hard program to measure, but I know they identified youth who may need some extra help and have worked with (others) to try to find what that young person needs to get them back on track. They’re much more a counselor, but they still wear that badge and they do law enforcement.

Q

Windermere Real Estate East, Inc. Kirkland/Yarrow Bay Office 3933 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Suite 100

425-822-5100

Do you think having a police officer in a school would prevent a shooter coming in?

Linda Pillo

A

Our officers are equipped with rifles if they do encounter any active shooter situation. I don’t think having armed security in every school is the answer. I think having a school resource officer in the high schools has done wonders in reducing assaultive behavior, identifying youth and helping them work through various difficulties.

And they have truly helped to keep our schools safe.

Q A

Should red-light or speed cameras be used to solve other types of crime?

If you were driving out on a public street, I would think you’d have a low expectancy of privacy to have your license plate captured. If, say, at 3 a.m. a major crime occurred near an intersection where a red-light camera was placed, we would want to have the ability to take a look at what vehicles drove through that intersection.

Q A

When I was a detective, you’d sit at your desk and you’d have to call other agencies. Now [information is] linked through a data base. Now, there’s a double-edge sword to that, too. It also has increased our fraud cases such as identity theft and ATM skimming.

Q A

What questions do you get from the public?

You won’t hear my mantra of “we need more people.”

First of all I need to make sure that we have done everything we can to work as efficiently and effectively. I challenge my staff, “can you find a better way to get the job done?” The work that we’re doing, is it creating an outcome to improve the safety of the city? After all of that is exhausted, then I will look to adding more staff.

Q A

Where should the Bellevue Police Department be in the next fine years?

My goal is for this year is to get some type of “smart” device into every single first-responder’s hand, whether that’s a smart phone, a tablet, whatever it is. We actually have a [device] out in the field right now that will read a fingerprint. If the officer has any concern whether that person is giving a true identity, we have that device.

Q A

Any final thoughts?

We have highly trained professional staff who go out there and dedicate themselves to keeping our city safe.

Although we’ve had a rough patch, it’s how you address issues within an organization that makes you stronger. We’re learning to be even better.

Simply heavenly.

April Fools Day – Ah the memories

Y

ou’d think we’d see it coming. After all, it is called April Fools Day – and it happens every year. Still, countless humans annually prank countless other humans – from placing Saran Wrap over toilet bowls, to gluing coins to sidewalks. We fool and get fooled alike.

April Fools Day, it is said, originated in the 16th century in France (where they still cannot get enough of Jerry Lewis). It is also called All Fools Day, which many people prefer because it sounds more inclusive.

I was partly complicit in one of this Pat Cashman area’s most notorious April Fools stunts a number of years ago. An April 1st broadcast of the local comedy show “Almost Live” on KING TV was suddenly interrupted by what appeared

to be a breaking news bulletin. A grave-looking news anchor said, “The Space Needle has just fallen over!”

A “live” picture of the great landmark lying on its side further enhanced the story – a photo quite obviously phony when viewed today – but that nonetheless convinced considerable numbers of local viewers that what they were seeing was real.

Hundreds of people began calling emergency and police departments – some in a genuine panic: “My daughter is a waitress at the Space Needle!” Or, “My neighbor runs the elevator!” The furor became national news, and if KING TV had a woodshed, the cast and crew of “Almost Live” would have been taken to it.

On another April 1st at another TV station where I worked, a guy named Steve had just quit his job to take another and better opportunity in a larger market. He’d sold his house, bought a new one – and sent his family ahead to the new town.

He had just finished cleaning out his desk when the phone rang. He picked it up and the voice on the other end was deeply apologetic.

“Steve, I’m afraid we’ve had some sudden budget cuts here – and we’re no longer going to be able to offer you that job.”

Steve’s face turned ashen, he hung up quickly – and

with tears in his eyes, raced out of the building so fast no one had time to tell him that the apologetic voice on the other end of the phone was actually a prankster employee calling from the next room.

Steve drove his Plymouth Duster through the parking lot so fast, no one could catch up to him amidst the blue smoke of his peel out. There were no cell phones back then – and no way to contact him.

Those of us in on the trick imagined all kinds of horrible scenarios, the worst of which was a desperate Steve driving his Duster off the nearest cliff. (Although none of us could think of a single cliff in that particular town.)

When Steve waltzed back in an hour later, his look of triumph was ear to ear. He had reverse tricked the rest of us – immediately recognizing the phone prank, and then putting on an acting performance that should have garnered him an Emmy.

That day, at least, he was no one’s fool.

But there was no shortage of them elsewhere in the building.

Bellevue resident named to academic team Mustapha Ennaimy of Bellevue has been named to the 2013 All-Washington Academic Team in recognition of his high achievement in academics and dedication to community service. He, and other nominated students, were

honored at a ceremony March 21, where Gov. Jay Inslee delivered the keynote address.

“It’s extremely gratifying to see Mustapha’s hard work and dedication to his studies recognized at such a high level,” Bellevue

College President David L. Rule said. “We are so proud of his accomplishments, and we expect great things of him in the future.”

Ennaimy was awarded a $500 scholarship. He also cans take advantage of

transfer scholarships available to all members of the All-Washington Academic Team to continue his education, provided by 17 of the state’s public and private four-year institutions, including University of Washington, Washing-

ton State University and Seattle University.

Ennaimy, 23, is originally from Morocco.

Shortly after moving to the United States, he enrolled in Bellevue College, first in English as a Second Language courses,

followed by college-level credit courses. He volunteers as a tutor in student services, is a member of the Computer Science Club, and serves as vice president of scholarship for the BC chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.

Puget Sound Bank acquires Core Acquisition comes on the heels of 53% annual earnings growth in 2012 Puget Sound Bank will buy Bellevue’s Core Business Bank for $8,425,000 with a combination of 20 percent cash and 80 percent Puget Sound Bank common stock.

The value represents 132 percent of Core’s Dec. 31, 2012 net book value.

The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013 and is subject to the customary requirements that include regulatory approval as well as shareholder approval.

Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company will have over $330 million in assets.

The banks have two of the highest quality loan portfolios in the State. Puget Sound Bank has non-performing loans of 0.75 percent of its total loans and Core Business Bank has zero non-performing loans. The combined net worth of the two companies will be approximately $44 million with a total risk based capital ratio of 15 percent, well over the minimum of 10 percent, which the FDIC considers to be a well-capitalized bank. The level of net worth gives the combined company a legal lending limit, to any single entity, of approximately $9 million. The combined company will be the 29th largest bank headquartered in Washington based on deposits. There are currently 71 banks and thrifts headquartered in the State. “[The year] 2012 was an incredible year for Puget Sound Bank, with almost $2 million in net income, 53 percent over the previous year,” said Jim Mitchell, President and

Pioneer, champion talks golf in Bellevue

BY JOSH SUMAN

When Ann Swanson got her start in golf, everyone including herself was surprised.

Decades before Title IX put women on an even playing field in interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics around the country, Swanson was just a child and mostly uninterested in sports. That all changed when her older brother, who worked as a caddy at the golf course near their home, brought home some spare clubs.

“My sister and I just started hitting balls,” she said.

Despite a lack of female role models in the game or even a place to receive formal training, Swanson blossomed as a golfer throughout her youth and soon found she had a passion for the game. Eventually, she was faced with a predicament that would change the course of the women’s game in Washington when she became the first female in state history to play on

a men’s community college team, which she did at Grays Harbor College.

“Grays Harbor was a big promotor and they went to bat for me,” she said. “In any sport, every generation is better off than the generation before them.”

The current generation of female golfers at Washington’s colleges certainly owe a large measure of their standing to Swanson, who parlayed her childhood interest into a career in and around the game. Swanson finished her degree at Seattle University after her days at Grays Harbor and went on to become one of the most decorated golfers in state history.

Her career accomplishments include state championships, Seattle city titles, and three Women’s U.S. Open fields, among a laundry list of accolades.

It was her career on the course and her knowledge of the history of the women’s game in the state that brought her to Overlake Golf Club recently as

the keynote speaker for the Northwest Ladies Golf Association spring event.

While the women’s game has grown since her own introduction to the game decades ago, Swanson said she would still like to see more women utilizing golf for its social benefits.

She also said the current generation of female players is far more advanced physically and has much greater potential to develop their skills in the game.

“I would like to see more women get into the game,” she said. “It is a sport that really connects people.”

Top lacrosse teams from Washington, Oregon, Nevada and British Columbia were on Mercer Island last week for the ninth installment of the Northwest Invitational lacrosse tournament and the defending state champions from Bellevue again had its chance to be measured against the best in the region.

Bellevue kept its mark perfect on the year with a pair of wins in the tournament, first over defending Oregon state champion Lincoln (Portland) and then 2012 Nevada state champion Palo Hank Bethke Verde.

The Wolverines led Lincoln only 1-0 after the quarters before stepping on the throttle in the final period. The shutout was the first in the eight-year tenure of coach John Baumann and also came with firstyear starter Bradley Medeiros in goal.

The Wolverines came back from that win to hand Palo Verde only its second loss of the season in a 9-2 win.

Simon Jenkin, Hank Bethke, Cole Johnson and Campbell Alexiff each scored two goals for Bellevue.

Bellevue faced Tahoma after the Reporter’s deadline and will meet Eastlake on Tuesday at home in an 8 p.m. start before beginning play in a spring tournament.

in the process. Only 10 months after beginning his career in the sport, Stanchi is one step away from competing against the best in the world and representing the United States.

Four athletes from Washington will join Stanchi at the NTSC, including his Rain City teammate Conrad GordonT:4.8” (Roosevelt).

Celebrate EASTER with us Reducing sugar intake at Easter Many people watch their weight by limiting their intake of unhealthy fats, but sugar is also a culprit in

poor health. During Easter celebrations, when family visits abound, it can be difficult to avoid eating exces-

Whether they are meltin-your-mouth soft or delightfully crunchy, candies and other sweet treats are everywhere at this time of year. Remember before you reach for another one that an excess of sugar has an

addiction-like effect: the more we eat, the more we want and the more we need.

By controlling our sugar levels, we can better control our cravings for sugar.

You can help yourself by avoiding soft drinks or even natural fruit juices, which have a highly concentrated sugar content. Drink a lot of water to quench your thirst and cut your appetite.

Another thing to keep in mind is that when teeth are recently cleaned, the taste of sugary treats is less appealing and you’re less likely to eat them. Brush your teeth after meals, or chew some mint or eucalyptus flavoured gum, which have the same effect. A portion of dark chocolate contains roughly the same amount of sugar as a raw carrot, so if you can’t resist nibbling on some chocolate treats, opt for those containing 70 percent cocoa. Avoid milk chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate bars.

When you’re confronted with all those Easter treats, you can at least avoid fruit juices, soft drinks, and processed cookies and cakes, which quickly boost your blood-sugar levels. take the time to bake them yourself without using a prepared mix. This way,

Rabbits are always very popular gifts over the Easter holidays. They’re cute, affectionate, and adorable and they’re certain to give a lot of pleasure to your children.

They make lovely companions but they do require a great deal of patience.

Over time, rabbits can be trained like cats and, because they live from five to ten years, we must be prepared to look after them over a long period of time. They love to be cuddled and enjoy following their owners around the house. However, they

rabbits love chewing on telephone wires, papers and bedding so these temptations will have to be protected.

It is always preferable to choose a small rabbit. Normally, the smaller the ears the smaller the rabbit will be. Here is a list of rabbit breeds in order of size: Polish, Mini-Rex, Dwarf, Lionhead (with a mane) and Dwarf Lop (with long ears) The Rex breed is the most affectionate and has the softest coat.

Rabbits eat food especially adapted to

their needs but they also love lettuce and fruits. However, be careful not to give them too much fresh food as this could make them ill and even endanger their lives.

Eastside students learn ‘WE’ can take action

BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

There’s something pretty incredible about putting 15,000 students into a room and telling them they have the power to change the world. That’s what We Day is all about.

Inspiring youth.

Started by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger, We Day is a party of sorts – consisting of live music, celebrity appearances and lots of opportunities to scream and dance.

But it’s also got a mission: to encourage young people to take action through service projects.

On Wednesday, students from across Washington state gathered at Seattle’s Key Arena, where We Day made its debut in the United States.

The Kielburgers’ dedication to service started in 1995, when, at age 12, Craig Kielburger heard a story about a Pakastani boy who was sold in to slavery, and was later killed, for speaking out. Inspired to make changes in how people were being treated around the world, Craig rallied a group of friends to raise money for children facing similar obstacles.

That project evolved in to Free the Children – an international charity and educational program that seeks to empower young people. And from that, the Kielburgers started We Day – a rally that’s taken place throughout Canada for the past six years.

Let it be known that We Day isn’t something you can buy your way in to. Rather, students earn their ticket by committing to positively change the world around them – at both the local and global levels. Examples? Food drives, anti-bullying campaigns, fundraisers to build schools and wells. But that’s just the tip of the ice berg. The entire purpose of We Day is to encourage young people to dream big - and to act on those dreams.

We Day Seattle attendees came from all over the state, representing 400 middle and high schools. But a number of people came

Seattle native and ‘Thrift Shop’ superstars, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis stopped by We Day for a surprise finale performance. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter from our own backyard – including 24 sixth graders from Eastside Christian School in Bellevue.

Eastside Christian Principal Mark Migliore said the school has always incorporated service learning in to their curriculum, and as such, the We Day agenda seemed like the perfect fit.

“The focus here, at Eastside Christian School, over the past several years, has been on individual service,” Migliore said.

Eastside Christian students earned their ticket to We Day by donating items to both the Angel Tree and “Operation Christmas Child” projects in December. The sixth grade class has also donated 96 hours of their time on various community projects; they plan to give 140 hours of service by the

Bellevue Police officer files suit claiming retaliation

By Celina Kareiva Bellevue Reporter

Bellevue police officer Jan M. Auclair Trizuto filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the city of Bellevue and the Bellevue Police Department, claiming retaliation for reporting offensive and inappropriate stories by her training supervisor. The 10-page complaint states that the supervising officer created an uncomfortable work environment by graphically speaking about his sexual experiences, past partners and by providing detailed descriptions of his own body parts while the two were alone in a patrol car.

Trizuto later began receiving inappropriate text messages, which she claims were unsolicited. Trizuto at first didn’t report the incidents because she feared retaliation. She later confided in two colleagues, one of whom, a lieutenant, reported it against her wishes.

Once reported, Trizuto said another Bellevue police officer began ridiculing

her in front of coworkers and threatening discipline. She also received a negative review of her work performance that she believes was influenced by the sexual harassment complaints.

“The work environment remains hostile and unchanged,” reads the complaint. “…Commencing no earlier than 2008, BPD has engaged in a pattern and practice of retaliating against, or allowing its employees to retaliate against, employees who lodge formal complaints.”

A spokesperson said the police department is not able to discuss the details of any pending lawsuit, but added: “the City and Police Department take these matters very seriously and we are committed to fully addressing any allegations of wrongdoing.”

end of the year.

“The whole purpose of We Day is to really get kids thinking about service – to think

about how they can make a difference,” Migliore said. “I think that’s a theme that we are continuing to explore with our students.”

The Seattle event, which came to fruition with help from co-organizer (and Seattle Seahawks coach) Pete Carroll, featured appearances by Jennifer Hudson, Martin Sheen, Mia Farrow, Nelly Furtado and Seattle hip-hop act Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Seahawks players Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Russell Okung and John Moffitt also took the stage.

Already brainstorming their next action, Migliore said a group of students plan to participate in the “We Are Silent” campaign on April 18, an annual fundraising and awareness-raising campaign organized

by Free the Children. The idea behind the campaign is that participants stand in silent solidarity for 24 hours with child laborers – whose voices are silenced by not having their rights upheld.

“I can say with confidence that We Day accomplished its primary goal,” Migliore said. “Our young people are inspired and charged up to get out there and bring about positive change.”

Entrepreneur spoils candy, makes dough Too much butter in the taffy, that’s how it all began. In 1926, Charley Younger and his mother made and sold candies out of their basement candy kitchen.

Among their recipes was mint-flavored taffy, but on one occasion Mrs. Younger added too much butter. The result was not taffy but the soon-to-be-famous “Younger’s Mints.”

The butter in the recipe made the candies “melt-in-yourmouth,” and their popularity spread out of Bellevue, then out of state. By 1931, the Youngers had moved out of their basement and into a store on Main Street. Later, the store would move again, to 104th Avenue Northeast (now Bellevue Way).

The sugar rationing of World War II finally brought an end to the family business after 21 delicious years.

A Bellevue man, son of the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, will auction off a letter his father wrote him about the breakthrough at an April 10 sale at Christie’s in New York.

Michael Crick was 12 and a student at a boarding school when his father, Francis, wrote to tell him about the discovery, which included a sketch of DNA’s double helix structure.

Michael Crick, now 72, said he knew his father had done something remarkable, but didn’t understand at the time its full impact. The letter was written about a month before the work, by Francis Crick and James Watson would be published.

Crick, Watson and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 for their work.

Michael Crick said he will donate half the proceeds from the sale of the letter to a trust benefiting the Salk Institute, where his father worked for several decades later in his life.

Michael Crick became a pioneer designer of computer games.

OPEN HOUSE: A WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY

THE HALVORSON CANCER CENTER

EvergreenHealth Medical Center—Kirkland Saturday, March 30 11:30 am - 2:00 pm We cordially invite you to be our special guest to celebrate the opening of the new Halvorson Cancer Center on the main Kirkland campus of EvergreenHealth.

Join us on Saturday, March 30, from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm to dedicate this new comprehensive center to you—our patients, families, survivors and caregivers who believe in a place where hope lives.

The new center seamlessly aligns all cancer care and supporting services in a beautiful, integrated facility like no other on the Eastside, specifically designed with our patients’ and your family’s perspective and comfort as a guiding force.

The opening of the new center also celebrates the recent collaboration between EvergreenHealth and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, which brings SCCA’s leading-edge cancer research together with EvergreeHealth’s commitment to innovation and compassionate care to provide our patients with nationally recognized cancer care.

We hope you will join us for this dedication event to celebrate where hope lives at the Halvorson Cancer Center. Enjoy light refreshments, guided tours and the opportunity to connect with neighbors and friends from EvergreenHealth and SCCA.

where hope lives
