Bellevue motorcycle police officer makes back-to-back burglary busts A sharp-eyed motorcycle officer on Thursday, April 25, arrested two burglary suspects minutes after the alleged crime – and a day after arresting two other burglary suspects in a different Bellevue neighborhood.

Officer Seth Tyler, a seven-year veteran of the Bellevue Police Department, was heading north on Interstate 405 in response to a burglary reported by a homeowner in the Skagit Key neighborhood in southwest Bellevue. After getting a description of the suspected getaway vehicle over his radio, Tyler spotted the silver Mercedes Benz: going the opposite direction, southbound.

Tyler did a quick turnaround at the Lake Washington Boulevard exit and gave chase, catching up with the Mercedes after it exited at the 44th Street exit in Renton. He called in the Renton Police Department to assist before pulling over the two suspects, a man and a woman.

Meanwhile, a motorist had reported a

package thrown out of the Mercedes. It turned out to be jewelry taken from the house in Skagit Key. The Thursday bust continued a hot streak for Tyler.

On Wednesday morning, while on routine patrol, Tyler arrested two ex-convicts suspected of casing a north Bellevue home for a burglary.

Police say the pair admitted they intended to burglarize the home, and that they had knocked on the front doors of two other houses, but were confronted by homeowners.

“Officer Seth Tyler showed what excellent police work and collaboration in the Bellevue PD is all about,” said Police Chief Linda Pillo. “He was observant, he was aware of his surroundings and he acted on his suspicions to prevent this, and probably other burglaries.”

Bellevue gets top bond rating

The nation’s leading bond rating agencies have given Bellevue its top top rating. Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s last week gave Bellevue AAA and Aaa ratings, respectively.

The ratings – the highest available to an organization – indicate the level of risk of city bonds. The high ratings means the city will pay lower interest rates on money it borrows for capital projects.

“That Bellevue continues to receive the highest rating available is a tribute to the fiscal stewardship exercised by everyone in the organization,” said Jan Hawn, the city’s finance director. “City staff made sure we lived within our means the last few years as we wrestled with the economic downturn."

Hawn said Bellevue is in a "great" position to finance some of its major capital projects, such as work related to the East Link light rail line.

International School in the Bellevue School District is one of the top 10 public high schools in the nation, according to the newly released 2013 Best High Schools rankings from U.S. News & World Report. It also ranks as the top school in the state.

International is ranked ninth among the more than 21,000 public high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia reviewed by U.S. News. Newport High (91), Bellevue High (125) and Interlake High (282) finished among the top 300 schools in the nation and earned Gold Medal status.

Bellevue schools also claimed four of the top 10 “Best Schools” spots in Washington state. In addition to International School’s top ranking, Newport placed third, Bellevue fourth and Interlake eighth.

“I’m very pleased to see the hard work of our students, staff, parents and community reflected in these strong rankings,” said Superintendent Tim Mills.

The 2013 U.S News Best High Schools list looks at state proficiency test data and how well schools prepare students for college. It’s a three-step process using data from the 2010-2011 school year.

International School had a college readiness index of 100, which is based on the percentage of 12th graders who were tested and passed AP exams. All of the International students took the AP exam and all of them passed.

Mike Ryan was sitting down for lunch at Bellevue's the King and I, a Thai restaurant off Main Street on Thursday, April 25, when a man seated behind him suddenly collapsed to the ground.

“You don't really think about what to do, you just act,” said Ryan, a chaplain for Bellevue's police and fire departments, who has been a loyal volunteer for nearly seven years.

Noticing that the man was having difficulty breathing, and that his pulse had stopped, he quickly applied CPR, asked restaurant staff to call 9-1-1 and waited by the man's side until aid arrived minutes later.

“There is no question that the patient's outcome is a direct result of Mike's quick action,” said Lt. Troy Donlin of the Bellevue Fire Department.

Before Bellevue, Ryan had served as chaplain in San Francisco for 18 years. He'd watched many a first responder resusci-

tate individuals, but had never provided medical care himself. As chaplain, his responsibility lay in comforting victims and families.

“We had a divine appointment,” said Ryan of that fateful afternoon.

The two met at the hospital the next day, an opportunity Ryan said he is grateful for.

“It was a privilege to be honest. It was a chance to talk about his world and mine,” said Ryan. “I met his dad and mom, sister and two daughters...When you have the training and the opportunity presents itself, you don't think about what you should or shouldn't do. You just act.”

CPR classes are offered through the Bellevue Fire Department by calling 425-4526885 for individual lessons and 425-4527673 for group training. Visit the city’s website for more information.

Bellevue College’s Science Division will host an open house for the community from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 4, with a variety of educational and hands-on activities and demonstrations in science, technology, engineering and math.

Titled “Passport to STEM,” the event will feature: a custom tank used to model ocean waves; a simulated dig for shark tooth fossils; a vacuum cannon that can shoot ping pong balls though soda cans; planetarium shows; and more. The college’s latest science research equipment will also be on display.

Attendees will be given “passports” that will be stamped at each activity station.

Those with stamps from each station will

be entered into a raffle to win sciencerelated prizes.

“We have a lot of great activities planned that kids will love, but that will also get them thinking about science and math, and hopefully spark a lifelong interest in these subjects,” said Kate Souza, program manager of BC’s Science and Math Institute.

The event is free and open to the public, and is appropriate for adults and children of all ages. It will take place in the S building on the college’s campus, located at 3000 Landerholm Circle SE in Bellevue. More information can be found by visiting BellevueCollege.com

Sammamish High senior gets $10,000 college scholarship Helen Kapitonenko juggles a demanding academic schedule, takes care of her siblings while her mother works and still finds times to volunteer.

Kapitonenko, 18, who lives with her family at Spiritwood Manor, a 130-unit subsidized apartment complex in Bellevue that is owned and managed by the King County Housing Authority, has been awarded a $10,000 college scholarship.

The Jesse Epstein scholarship is given annually by the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of the National Association of Housing & Redevelopment Officials (PNRC-NAHRO). It will provide kapitonenko with $2,500 for each of four years at the college or university of her choice.

King County Housing Authority sponsored Kapitonenko’s application and will contribute an additional $250 grant toward her education.

“Helen’s accomplishments speak to her intelligence, compassion, drive, and hard work,” said Stephen Norman, executive director of the King County Housing Authority. “With this scholarship, she’s firmly on the path to attaining the American Dream – allowing her to create a better future for herself and her family, contributing to the region’s economy.”

The oldest of four children born to Ukrainian immigrants, Kapitonenko has faced many challenges, including a period

when she and her family were homeless.

Despite a sporadically insecure home life – she attended three different schools during fifth grade − the Sammamish High School senior has a 3.97 GPA while taking Advanced Placement and honors classes in statistics, world history, trigonometry and pre-calculus.

She has been a member of the National Honor Society for three years, was named “Most Inspirational Female Youth Leader” by Youth Link in 2010, and was twice named student of the month at Sammamish. In addition, she volunteers at Jubilee REACH, a nonprofit agency that provides a range of outreach services to children and families in the greater Lake Hills community of Bellevue, and where she was chosen by her peers to be president of the Jubilee art club. In 2011, Kapitonenko was named the Jubilee art studio summer internship program’s “Most Outstanding” intern.

“Education is important to me because it is the best investment to succeed in life," Kapitonenko said. "I want to get a good job and help my family get out of poverty."

Kapitonenko wants to study communications and business administration.

She has been accepted at four area colleges including Seattle University, but is still undecided about where she will enroll.

Work starts on new Coal Creek Parkway bridge Preliminary work is beginning on a new bridge to replace an aging culvert under Coal Creek Parkway between Forest Drive Southeast and Southeast 60th Street.

Puget Sound Energy crews are on the site at night (to minimize impacts on travelers), 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, for about two weeks.

During that time, only one lane will be open in each direction on Coal Creek Parkway. All four lanes will be open during the day until bridge construction begins in May. When the bridge contractor begins construction in late May, one lane will be closed in each direction 24 hours a day until the end of November, when the first phase of the project ends. Traffic delays and congestion are expected, especially during morning and evening commutes, and drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes.

One lane in each direction will be closed again during the second phase of the project, 24 hours a day, from midApril through September 2014. Relocation of complex utilities, such as fiber optic cables, a natural gas main and high-pressure fuel pipe lines, requires the project to be done in two phases.

The existing 45-year-old Coal Creek culvert is deteriorating and needs to be

replaced to keep the parkway safe for the nearly 28,000 commuters that use this route each day.

The project includes construction of a pedestrian pathway that will run underneath the bridge and connect the Coal Creek trail, giving pedestrians and hikers a safe way to cross the parkway. Replacing the culvert, a large corrugated pipe, with a bridge will also make it easier for salmon to migrate up the creek.

During construction, bicyclists will need to share lanes with cars for about 900 feet through the work area on Coal Creek Parkway.

In between Phase 1 and Phase 2, when the road is open to four lanes of traffic, interim bike lanes or widened lanes will be available for bikes through the 900-foot construction area. By the end of September 2014, all four lanes of traffic will be reopened, with bike lanes restored on both sides of the road.

The Coal Creek trailhead and parking lot will close in May and remain closed during construction of the bridge. A new trail accessing the park has been established nearby at 5199 Forest Drive.

A more developed interim parking lot is planned to be completed at this location in spring/summer 2013.

The project will be completed by the end of November 2014.

Eastside Story

What’s happening in nearby cities Issaquah: Adrianne Haslet-Davis, 32, a 1998 graduate of Issaquah High School, was honored on Tuesday’s result show on “Dancing With the Stars.” HasletDavis, a professional ballroom dancer, lost her left foot in the bomb blast at the Boston Marathon, as she and her husband, Adam Davis, were watching the race. Her leg was amputated from the knee down. Davis suffered shrapnel wounds.

Kirkland: A single family home was burned to the ground April 24 in the Evergreen Hills neighborhood. No human injuries were reported at the home located on the 14200 block of 128th Ave. NE, but a family dog was killed. “It looks like the neighbor reported smelling smoke 20 minutes before the call was made [at 9:30 p.m.], so firefighters had a pretty good head start,” said Kirkland Fire Department Battalion Chief Joe Sanford, noting it appeared the fire started at the back of the house. Sixteen firefighter units from Kirkland, Woodinville, Bothell and Redmond responded. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Bothell: More than 1,100 Bothell residents took to the streets April 27 for the fifth annual Can Do 5/10K run, an event that supports special needs organizations for kids and their families. “It is empowering to know that we are helping our community,” said this year’s event co-director Natalia Bynum. “This is our community. We are all participating and it is very inclusive.”

Renton: Ending months of debate, the Renton City Council voted April 29 night to move forward with a 19,500-square-foot library over the Cedar River. The schematic drawings the City Council accepted from the King County Library System also include a new entrance at the library’s southeast corner, which will include a small plaza.

The budget for library construction was set at $10.4 million. That’s about $1.5 million more than budgeted for the project, so the city will look at ways to raise that additional money. Options include buying more bonds or finding money within the budget by changing priorities.

The long and short of all that hair

I

t used to be “go-to” gag gift. When I was in my late ’20s and early 30s, you could never go wrong giving a friend an electric nose-hair trimmer as a birthday gift. The very notion that it would ever actually be used was ridiculous. It was the ultimate absurd accessory.

But then time marched on. And so did nose hair. And suddenly one day that trimmer – also useful for ear hair removal – became a not-so-funny, indispensable grooming device. What used to be silly IS now essential, if uncool.

Hair is pretty much something only found on mammals. You don’t find it on fish – except the little-seen shaggy dolphin (haireus dolphinus).

Hair is defined as filamentous biomaPat Cashman terial – which was the original name of the Broadway musical Hair until someone noticed that Filamentous Biomaterial wasn’t selling many tickets.

Nowadays, I’m yanking nose and ear hairs the way Cisco Morris attacks weeds and moss. After all, if constant vigil is not kept, the ears will lose all hearing through the dense undergrowth. As for the nostrils, what a sad obituary that would be: LOCAL MAN SUFFOCATES WHEN BATTERIES ON NOSE HAIR TRIMMER GIVE OUT The most hirsute human I ever saw was Roy Harvey. In the eighth grade, the guy already looked like a Kodiak bear.

Plus, his favorite foods were salmon and honey. (Imagine a rim-shot through these next few sentences.)

He didn’t wear a rug – he was one.

Roy was so hairy that he could have easily survived an Alaskan winter in the nude.

One time he wore a sweater to school, and then discovered that he couldn’t get it off. We called him the Velcro man.

His dream was to be on the high school swim team – but every time he got into the water, he’d sink like a stone – as if he was wearing a gorilla suit.

But when I saw Roy at a class reunion a few years ago, he was decidedly less furry. Most of his head hair was a distant memory. That which remained had turned “fifty shades of gray.”

He was wearing shorts – and I noticed that his leg hair, like mine, was pretty much gone from the knees down.

Where was that hair? In his nose and ears, of course.

It seems that really hairy people want less of it. People with little hair want lots of it. The same goes for hair color.

Everybody wants to be a blonde. Except for actual blondes of course.

In old Rome, women dyed their hair blonde using pigeon dung. In Renaissance Venice, they used horse urine.

Which would you choose?

Hair removal is big business these days – for both women and men – but apparently the ancient Egyptians were the first to remove unwanted body follicles. King Tut was probably tended to regularly by his royal waxers and appointed pluckers.

The fact is that human hair will grow everywhere except places like the soles of the feet and the lips. I have also read that hair will not grow on the palms of the hands – no matter what.

I wish I had known about this when I was in high school.

I’d been given some very bad information.

Better wrap this up. My breathing has become labored.

Time to use the trimmer again.

Medina doesn’t discriminate

S

ince my family moved to Medina in 1976 many members of racial minorities have chosen to make Medina their home. These bright people had the choice of many nice communities and would not have chosen to come to a place of racial prejudice.

We currently have two members of a racial minority sitting on our City Council.

Jeffery Chen, a person of considerable talents, was hired onto the police force and later elevated to police chief – no discrimination there. He impressed many citizens to include my wife and Bruce Hand me.

Unfortunately for all, there arose allegations that Chen engaged in behaviors inappropriate to a city employee and police leader. Shortly after being interviewed by an investigator for the city, he chose to resign.

He later asked to withdraw his resignation and was allowed to do so – no discrimination there.

There followed a thorough investigation of relevant facts by an investigator for the city. After its completion, the city manager with council support terminated Chen

LETTERS

Promote goods, not property Bellevue’s mayor recently returned from an economic forum in China.

In the story, Mei Young was quoted as saying “with Chinese nationals sometimes paying as much as $9 million to 12 million and competing for properties.”

Chen sued the city and a federal court jury believed Chen’s assertion that discrimination was a factor in his termination and made a large damage award. Post trial motions will be made, and it will be months before a final judgement will be entered.

Here is one take away. The termination for cause of a government employee is procedurally demanding and uncertain. When such an employee happens to be the member of a minority, the process becomes far more delicate and hazardous. Given this, courage is required by those under duty to proceed.

I have long known two Medina council members who participated in this extended and arduous process. They are of the highest character and would not permit this termination had there been any element of racial discrimination in the decision. I am sure the same holds true of our other council members and our city manager. I applaud their tenacity in public service.

It might be worth noting my wonderful daughter-in-law is a citizen of China resident and working in the U.S.

Bruce Hand is a retired attorney who practiced in Bellevue. He lives in Medina.

This increase in real estate prices may be all well and good for a handful of property owners. For the rest of our citizens, it has only created a mini bubble in the housing market.

This has placed houses out the reach of many middle class citizens with these foreigners bringing high all-cash offers to the table. Bellevue’s policy not only encourages loss of community ownership but tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars are taken out of the local economy through lost realtors fees,

loan origination fees, and loan interest payments.

Instead of pushing foreigners to purchase real estate, we should be promoting exports of our products and services. This would bring real capital into our economy, not a false bubble of increasing housing prices.

Countries like Singapore know better. They recently instituted a limit on foreign ownership of property.

Unfortunately, Bellevue is actively promoting it. We can do better.

Why we make those bad decisions

T

hanks to college students willing to undergo a variety of tests and challenges (without knowing the real purpose) for the price of a pitcher of beer, researchers have collected volumes of data about human behavior.

I don’t remember why I requested the library book, “Sidetracked: Why our Decisions get Derailed and How We Can Stick to the Plan,”

by Francesca Gino, but Ann Oxrieder I found it packed with research, much of it conducted on college campuses, that tells why we make bad decisions.

Even though I’m no better a decision maker for having skimmed this book, one study paralleled a situation I experienced.

I’d been moping for a week about the novel I’m writing. I’d tell myself it’s boring, the protagonist is one-dimensional, it will end up like a book I just finished in which cardboard characters accomplish impossible feats in one week, while I wasted several hours reading about them.

What I’m describing is a phase every first-time novelist goes through. Fortunately, for the past two years I’ve enjoyed the benefits of working with small groups of classmates who’ve studied together and critiqued each others’ draft scenes.

You may have heard of “flash fiction,” a story in less than 300. Well, that’s nothing compared to the flash therapy session I underwent last week, in which colleagues identified my problem and the solution within seconds.

“Sidetracked” calls it having too narrow a focus. The solution? “Zoom out.”

In “Sidetracked,” Gino uses a Chinese parable to preface the research on this topic. Every day a woman carried two pots to a stream to collect water. One of the pots had a crack and lost half of its water over the course of the woman’s walk home.

After a year and a half, the pot with a crack mourned its failures and shared its feelings with the water carrier.

I recognized this as my problem and have stopped accusing my characters of being wooden, knowing they will deepen with each new draft.

May college students continue to volunteer to show their foibles and behave like people of every age, so they can afford their beer and the rest of us can learn.

Man travels 6,000 miles for heart procedure at Overlake

through a suggestion by his wife's family, who live on the Eastside.

Dr. Rodrigues said arrhythmias like Engler's can be caused by a number of things: coronary artery disease, Electrolyte imbalance and changes in your heart muscle or injury from heart attack, among them.

While some people feel no symptoms, others, like Engler, may feel fatigue, lightheadedness, dizziness and changes in mood.

Although Engler's heart responded well to the first surgery – and he was able to return to work on his ranch, as well as fly helicopters – Engler started experiencing a recurrence of symptoms earlier this year. Not interested in relying on medication, he sought Dr. Rodrigues' help once again.

Dr. Rodrigues said 10-15 percent of patients who

BY KEEGAN PROSSER

BELLEVUE REPORTER

The cardiology department at Overlake Medical Center has long been recognized as one of the most prolific in the country, but this month the team stepped into the international arena, when patient Eduardo Engler traveled more than 6,000 miles from his home in Osorno, Chile, to undergo a procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation.

The procedure, the second of which Engler has received from Overlake's Dr. Rodrigues, took place on Friday, April 26.

Engler underwent his first atrial fibrillation ablation procedure in 2005, after several attempts to cure his irregular heartbeat using medication failed.

Engler was connected with Dr. Rodrigues through his own research, as well as

undergo this procedure may require a second operation. And though Engler's recurrences weren't severe, it was something they wanted to be proactive about.

Due to significant advancements in the last eight years, as well as an increase in experience, he feels confident this procedure will provide a complete cure for Engler's condition.

Dr. Rodrigues said it's important to note he doesn't do these surgeries on his own; he's been

working with a team of surgeons since 2001, when he and Dr. J. Alan Heywood felt advances in technology made the surgery accessible. They've since completed more than 1,000 atrial fibrillation ablation procedures at Overlake.

"When Eduardo gets into a helicopter, the way he knows when to take off and land safely is because he is supported by an excellent crew…and that's no less true of what I do," Dr. Rodrigues said. "I couldn't do what I do if I wasn't as

well supported as I am."

Friday's surgery seemed to be a big success, as Engler was already showing signs of feeling better.

"It's a new life for me," Engler said.

In addition to continuing his duties at the Arrhythmia Center at Overlake, Dr. Rodrigues will begin seeing patients at Overlake's Kirkland Clinic starting May 8.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Southeast 25th Street (also called Terrell Road and E.N. Sears Road) ended in a small ferry dock. The area became a popular spot for recreation, and in 1935 the WPA used federal funds to improve and develop the last 60 feet of the road into a park.

When the city of Bellevue incorporated in 1953, ownership of the park transferred from King County to Bellevue.

Some legal wrangling followed when a few residents feared that further park development would block access to their homes.

Today, the area is defined as a city of Bellevue “right-ofway.” This designation allows access to private properties along the street, while also maintaining the area’s status as a public park. Chesterfield Beach Park boasts a swimming area with lifeguard service in the summer months, restrooms, a fishing dock and a picnic area.

Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter.

Material is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center.

“Mommy” “Mommy” is just a small, two-syllable word, and yet it is so important to every one of us. Often the first word spoken by babies, “Mommy” represents the magical heart of the ever-expanding universe of young children. The relationship between a child and its mother or mother figure cannot be compared to any other human relationship.

In the best of worlds, “Mommy” evokes gentleness and firmness, kisses and hugs.

She is the angel of the night come to rescue us from nightmares. She is the nurse who tends to scraped knees, the caregiver who dons an apron to prepare healthy meals, and the fairy who never forgets to make you a birthday cake. She is the one who feels the pain of your heartache and who will always defend you when you’re attacked.

Your mother is the one who knows you best, the one who helps you overcome obstacles and dreams of a beautiful future for you. She helps you build your confidence and surpass yourself. She shows you the value of wisdom rather than misplaced pride.

Baby birds grow up and leave the nest to lead their own lives. With maturity, a

A little word filled with so much love growing child learns discernment and sees parents for the human beings they are, with their strengths and weaknesses. Rather than spoiling their love, this discovery is often the source of a closer relationship for adult children and their mothers. Even if your childhood was less than ideal, the affection that unites you both will only grow as you understand that your mother did the best she could with the resources she had.

Make this Mother’s Day a time of gratitude. Thank your mom for guiding you and helping you become the adult you are today.

The word “mother” evokes gentleness and firmness, kisses and hugs.

Pets for Six win National Merit Scholarships adoption ‘Rescue’ your next best friend

Trixie is a 6-month Maltese mix with curly hair and floppy ears. She’s a happygo-lucky pup with an enthusiastic attitude for learning and an eye for fun.

Charlie is a handsome 2-year-old tabby cat that enjoys napping in the sun and receiving generous belly-rubs.

Both are at the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue, located at the intersection of I-405 and I-90. It is open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m.

For directions call 425-6410080.

Tabatha, is an 8-year-old kitty that has lived with other cats in the past and just tends to ignore them, so she could definitely cohabitate with another cat.

She loves to sit next to you for a relaxing evening on the couch and she thinks wet kitty food is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

She is up for adoption at Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter’s offsite adoption center inside Bellevue Petsmart (100 108th Ave NE, near Toys ‘R Us).

Cinnamon has been in and out of the King County Pet Adoption Center for about two years.

She does bark a lot in her kennel to get your attention, but once outside she doesn’t bark at all. Because she has been in and out of the shelter so much, she can seem a bit aloof. She is housebroken, quiet (when her people are around), great on a leash and in a car, and knows basic obedience (sit, lie down, stay and come).

Cinnamon is available at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent, located at 21615 64th Ave S. Call 206-296-PETS for more information.

Stronger than Iron VO2 MultiSport in Overlake helping rebuild local Iron Man

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

As the director of coaching for the most recognizable triathlon training team in the region, VO2 MultiSport, Ben Bigglestone’s clients fall across a broad spectrum of athletic ability and come to his Overlake facility from varying histories in the sport’s three disciplines - running, swimming and biking.

But even for Bigglestone, a longtime veteran of the triathlon lifestyle as a competitor and coach, Navin Singh is unique.

Now a 47-year-old Sammamish father, Singh was just out of high school and on the brink of his physical prime when his health took an unexpected and dramatic turn. After returning from a vacation, Singh began feeling flu-like symptoms that quickly turned into intense abdominal cramping. When he tried to make his way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, things got worse.

“My legs just shut off and I dropped to my knees,” he said. “I made it to the bathroom and when I tried to splash some water on my face, I couldn’t close my fingers.”

A trip to the emergency room followed, and luckily for Singh, the physician in the

ER recognized the symptoms were likely caused by something more than dehydration. After agreeing to a diagnostic test, which came in the form of a spinal tap, Singh sat motionless in his bed awaiting the diagnosis.

The results of the spinal tap revealed Singh was suffering from Guillan-Barre Syndrome, a rare affliction (roughly every one in 100,000) where the immune system attacks the nerves and can leave patients paralyzed.

By the time he was given the go-ahead to move again, it was too late.

“That was a scary moment,” Singh said.

“The doctors couldn’t tell me much. They knew it was a long haul, but they couldn’t tell me how long.”

The recovery process was indeed a slow one, starting with sitting upright and eventually getting out of the hospital bed.

Singh suffered from severe muscle atrophy throughout his body, leaving his limbs frail and the rest of his body without the necessary strength to even remain rigid.

“When I first tried to sit up, I just collapsed,” he said. “It looked like the skin was just hanging off the bones of my hands.”

Singh moved from laying down in the

Crutches followed, then forearm crutches and finally a cane. But despite the long, difficult process to get back on his feet, Singh knew early on he wanted to do more than just maintain.

While he was in the hospital, Singh watched the IronMan World Championships from his room and was immediately inspired by their feats.

ing portion to test endurance and overall fitness. The main difference comes in the distances, with a 2.4 mile open water swim, 112 mile bike ride and a full marathon of 26.2 miles by foot, exponentially longer distances than other triathlon formats.

“It was always in the back of my mind,” Singh said of becoming an Iron Man. “I finally realized I had nothing to lose.”

Bellevue girls back in water for first time since 2005

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

triathletes in the world attempt to earn qualifying times at satellite events, the championships also play host to “Kona Inspired,” a video submission contest to earn a spot in the race. This year’s theme, “Anything is Possible,” was a natural segue for Singh (view Singh’s video at konainspired.thismoment.com).

After falling into what he called, “the typical suburban dad routine,” which did not include a lot of exercise, Singh connected with Bigglestone and VO2 to begin training. Even with his unique medical history, Bigglestone was adamant he could make Singh’s dream of completing an Iron Man attainable.

“I knew we would face some challenges we wouldn’t face with someone who had

Lance Gatter to bring the program to life.

“We had heard from girls and parents here and there, and even from the administration,” Kaseguma said. “It didn’t seem like anyone really wanted to lead the effort, and I didn’t really know any of the girls.”

But with his own experience helping form the boys team while still in high school and passion for the game, Kaseguma knew the time was right.

Anderson, who Kaseguma later named captain for this year’s team, said she has played water polo for six years on a club team and tried to convey her love of the sport when

full function of their lower legs,” Bigglestone said. “I had to find out where we were and where we wanted to travel.”

The initial meetings included formulating a plan for getting Singh, self-described as out of shape at the time, into condition to complete the triathlon The two have focused on building the biking and swimming skills and endurance of Singh in the saddle and pool, and using alternative technology like an Alter-G treadmill to work to the goal of completing the final marathon leg.

“He’s arguably one of the most dedicated athletes I have in my roster,” Bigglestone said, adding VO2 is home to professional level triathletes. “His willingness to put himself in that position of discomfort is probably, because of what he’s been through, higher than most people.”

Whether or not his video submission earns him one of the seven available en-

tries, Singh wants his message of perseverance to be his lasting image.

“If I can do this,” Singh said. “Anyone can.”

With its place among the state’s most competitive swim and dive teams for both boys and girls, Bellevue High School seems a natural fit for its own squad in girls water polo.

The Wolverines have been perennial contenders in the pool and are also the defending state champions of boys water polo after alum Evan Kaseguma helped revive the program in the 1990s, during his own prep days.

Now, he is doing the same thing for the girls.

Other than a brief stint from 1999-2005, Bellevue has not offered a girls water polo team, and the sport is still not sanctioned by the WIAA, which governs prep competition in sports like basketball and soccer.

But in 2013, after some grassroots recruiting efforts by players and behind-the-scenes work from a handful of parent supporters, the Wolverines are back in the pool.

“We had played water polo in the summer and it was really fun,” said freshman Sophie French, who along with her twin sister Lillie and junior Sierra Anderson helped spread the word about the program during the fall and winter.

“At first, we got a couple weird looks. But then we started getting people who were wanted to play and some of them were on the swim team, which was definitely a plus.”

The trio handled the legwork around the school - setting up booths at lunch, presenting at assemblies and talking to their peers during swim season and at other sporting events - while Kaseguma worked with athletic director

making recruiting pitches to classmates.

“It has made my year,” Anderson said.

Turnout was better than expected for a first-year program, with a total of 23 girls on the team. Kaseguma said the boys program began with only 14 players at inception and Mercer Island, another perennially strong swim and water polo school has only 15 girls on their team this year.

Perhaps even more encouraging is the excitement among the younger classes of Wolverines, with 13 of the 23 freshman.

While the results in the pool will not have Bellevue in the mix for a state title this year, Kaseguma and his players said the growth has been extraordinary both in the pool and as a team.

“Most of these girls had never seen a water polo ball,” Kaseguma said. “We’ve been able to progress faster than I ever imagined.”

A 17-4 setback to Bainbridge early in the season was somewhat expected, but Kaseguma was pleasantly surprised when his team closed the gap to only 4-3 in another match with the same squad a month later. The victories have not all been moral, either, with Bellevue picking up four wins on the year and playing a handful of close matches along the way.

“We want something similar to what the boys have right now,” he said, referencing the back-to-back state title winners. “The first part is getting them exposed to the sport.”

The second suspect, 31, also from Seattle, has two prior convictions.

Eva Lindberg stands next to the doodle she submitted to the Doodle for Google contest. She was announced as one of 50 finalists on Wednesday, May 1. Keegan Prosser, Bellevue Reporter

Cirque Zuma Zuma in Everett

Local student finalist in Google contest This week, an Eastside resident became one step closer to having her art put on the Google homepage, when Eva Lindberg, a third grader from Medina Elementary School, was selected as a finalist in the Doodle for Google competition.

The contest, open to K-12 students across the Unites States, asked entrants to redesign the Google logo inspired by the theme “My Best Day Ever." Of the 130,000 students who submitted drawings, Eva's was selected as the winning entry from Washington state. Leah Chen, an eighth grader at Tyee Middle School, was one of 250 state finalists in the Doodle for Google contest.

Eva's father, Grant Lindberg, said he stumbled across the competition a few months ago. Seeing it as a fun, creative way for his daughters to spend the afternoon, he suggested they try their hand at a doodle. Eva jumped right in.

"That's her passion," said Eva's mother, Lisa Bursett. "When she's not at school, she's at home drawing."

When asked to describe her best day ever, 9-year-old Eva said she would "…take a trip to an island in the middle of the ocean and spend the day there. I would play with the island monkeys, snakes, turtles, parrots and ants. After my day on the island, I would take a boat home while the sun was setting."

Inspired by this idea, as well as her collection of stuffed animals, Eva's drawing features an island scene with a monkey, sea turtle and parrot.

Eva was recognized as a finalist during a special assembly held at Medina Elementary School on Wednesday morn-

A U C T I O N

ing. In addition to featuring a presentation about the Google Doodle history, Google representatives were on hand to present Eva with a special t-shirt featuring her Google logo, as well as a blown-up version of her doodle to be displayed at the school.

According to the contest rules, doodle submissions were judged based on artistic merit, creativity and theme communication. Google employee Erica Fisher, who flew in from San Francisco for the assembly, said Eva's drawing stood out from others because of it's personal nature and it's relevance to the theme.

"You can tell she spent a lot of time thinking about her idea of the best day ever, and how she wanted to show that," Fisher said.

But the competition doesn't end here, as the public can help get Eva's drawing to the Google homepage by voting for their favorite doodle from the 50 state winners until May 10; voting will determine the five national finalists, one in each grade group.

As part of the contest, Eva's drawing will be displayed alongside the 49 other finalists' in an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Google will then announce the five national finalists and one of them as the national winner on May 22 at an awards ceremony at its New York City office; all 50 finalists will be flown out for the event.

The winning student's doodle will be displayed on the Google homepage on May 23; they will also receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for their school.

To view the full list of winning doodles - including Eva’s and to vote, go to www.google.com/doodle4google/vote. html.

A total of 41 artists will be at work in 20 studios and galleries in Kirkland, many within walking distance of each other, as part of the 10th annual Kirkland Artist Studio Tour. Visitors can stop by throughout the day to browse among new works, watch demonstrations, purchase art directly from the artist or just soak up the inspiration.
