Bellevue schools to get $7.9 million more from state

BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

A group of homeless men and women get ready for dinner at Camp Unity, described by organizers as an ‘empowerment camp, not a homeless camp.’

The 85-person encampment plans to move from its current location in Kirkland to First United Methodist Church of Bellevue in September. The camp, which transports its own showers, wash basins and portable toilets, would stay through December. Read about the camp on page 8. COURTESY PHOTO

In the wake of the state recently announcing it has allotted an additional $1 billion for schools, the Bellevue School District is working to prepare it's budget for the 2013-2014 year.

Melissa DeVita, Deputy Superintendent of Finance Services and Operations, said the district is expected to now receive a total of close to $97 million from the state, which will mark a $7.9 million increase in funds. Davita adds the district also will receive additional allocations for specific programs, including transportation, learning assistants and bilingual/language immersion. The Bellevue School District received $89,821,000 in funds from the state last year.

DaVita said the state allocates funds based on a "typical school" model. Under these guidelines, the state defines what a school should look like and how it should be staffed; from that, it provides funds based on number of students enrolled in the district in a given year.

While no details about the Bellevue School District's budget have been released, DaVita said the money will be used both for restoration of previous cuts as well as for new initiatives.

The district is currently working on a plan for how the budget will be allocated and will present it to the board at their Aug. 6 meeting. As the budget must be approved by the end of August, a public hearing will be held on Aug. 27, where parents and community members will have the opportunity to present questions and concerns.

REPORTER Q/A | Attorney General Bob Ferguson “It’s our job to hold powerful interests accountable who don’t play by the rules.”

The Reporter sat down with state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to discuss his goals and challenges after his election last November.

Even as the state tightens its belt, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson wants to do more.

were veterans. I’m from a large family. All my uncles served in World War II. Fortunately, they all returned home. I’ve always had strong views about veterans issues – about mental health issues related to vets, the disproportionate number of homeless who are vets, job training. On the King County Council, I got very involved in veterans issues, and proposed the Veterans and Human Services Levy, which voters

approved in 2005. I wrote it, I proposed it.

One thing I did in taking office was seeing what we do, currently, in the AG’s office around veterans. The answer was ‘Not a whole lot.’ We changed that. We have a robust web presence.

We’re about to go public with resource guides related to veterans’ legal rights.

We want to make sure we’re educating veterans.

Aleksandr Polak, charged in the stabbing death of his ex-wife on June 17, plead not guilty at his Wednesday morning arraignment.

Polak is accused of stabbing Nataliya Nataliya Vabischevich Vabischevich, 35, 72 times in the head, neck, hands, arms and chest in her Bellevue apartment while their teenage son was at school.

Vabishchevich was found dead by a coworker in the entryway of her Bellevue

condominium in the 12700 block of NE 10th Place. Within the week Polak had been located and arrested in Los Angeles, en route to the Mexico border. Prosecutors requested he be held without bail, citing flight risk and the violence of the crime.

“I kill people; I hurt people and don't mess with me,” Polak said to a friend of Vabischevich on one occasion. Charging papers and friends' accounts indicate that there were early signs of domestic violence.

Pure Chiropractic and Eastside Life Chiropractic is raising funds for Vabischevich’s son. Donations can be made at any BECU in her name.

Bellevue SWAT team in standoff A man who pulled a gun on a friend during a late-night chess match early Thursday morning barricaded himself inside his apartment, causing Bellevue police to close down several roads around the 1800 block of 108th Avenue Southeast.

Bellevue SWAT team personnel negotiations with the man continued past the Reporter's deadline.

The incident began around 2 a.m. when a man called 911 to report he had gone

to a friend's apartment to play chess and, during an argument, the friend pulled a gun on him. The SWAT team responded and several streets around the area were closed and residents evacuated from nearby apartment units. Later, tear gas was sent into the man's apartment.

At one point, Bellevue Way was closed to traffic because of the incident. Westbound and eastbound exits from I-90 to Bellevue also were closed for a time, but were reopened around 7 a.m.

Bellevue paramedic honored for efforts to help injured firefighter Paul Hyatt, Bellevue Fire Department paramedic and recipient of the Medic One Foundation’s 2013 Spirit of Team Play Award, threw out the first pitch at the Seattle Mariners game on Thursday, July 11 as he was honored by fellow paramedics for his commitment and service to the community.

He received the Spirit of Team Play award in large part because of his philanthropic efforts benefiting a former local firefighter who was in desperate need of help.

This firefighter had significant healthcare expenses resulting from being severely burned and injured while battling a house fire. As a result of this accident, he began a six-month journey at Harborview Medical Center, recovering from the injuries, as well as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

While in recovery, he and his wife were also expecting a baby.

Hyatt recognized this firefighter was in desperate need of financial assistance and took the story to his local union where Hyatt was able to raise a significant amount of money for the cause. But he didn’t stop there. He appealed to other agencies and to the Washington State Council of Firefight-

ers for help.

“I am certain that Paul’s compassionate efforts to help this fellow citizen and previous firefighter were nothing short of incredible in the eyes of the beneficiary,” said Bellevue Fire Medic One Captain Chuck Heitz. “For all who have the privilege of working with Paul, it is unanimously agreed upon that Paul sets an example of the highest caliber.”

Sponsored by the Medic One Foundation, Philips Healthcare, and the Seattle Mariners, the Spirit of Team Play award is presented annually to the paramedic who best models the personal and professional behavior consistent with the expectations of both the general public and profession.

“Philips is pleased to join the Medic One Foundation and the Seattle Mariners in awarding the Spirit of Team Play award to Paul Hyatt,” said Bob Peterhans, general manager, Emergency Care & Resuscitation Business, Philips Healthcare. “We all know paramedics like Paul help save lives every day, but it’s important to realize they are also community leaders and support their peers, friends and family in so many other ways.”

EDITORIAL

Eastside legislators show cooperation, not conflict after session

S

tate legislators have been criticized for taking two additional sessions to pass a budget. We carped, too, noting that much of what was in the end product could have there from the start.

But while much was made by some of the bitter differences between the Democrat-controlled House and the Majority Coalition Caucus in the Senate, that caustic tone wasn’t reflected in our Eastside legislators who met this week with the East King County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition. (See story on page 7) Legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, genuinely have the best interests of the Eastside at heart and – better yet – agree on most of what that is.

The legislators, representing the 5th, 41st, 45th and 48th districts, basically agreed that schools finally got the attention they deserve, even if it took a judge’s ruling to force the issue. The additional $1 billion allocated for K-12 education represents a down payment of what should continue in future sessions.

There also was agreement that the failure of the Legislature to pass a transportation package will hurt the state in the future. The problem, many legislators said, is that some in the Legislature used transportation as a hostage to try and get something else in the budget. That didn’t work and in the end, it was the transportation package that suffered.

Rep. Judy Clibborn, a Democrat from Issaquah’s 41st District and chair of the House Transportation Committee, put it succinctly: “Do you know what it’s like to have a dead hostage?”

Though the Eastside is served by both Democrats and Republicans, those at the meeting noted that they probably agree on a majority of the issues facing the state. And to their credit, and our good fortune, they work together to take care of this area’s needs.

Memories of O’Neill I, too, remember Michael O’Neill, who was mentioned in Ann Oxrieder’s July 12 column and who passed away in June after a courageous battle with cancer.

Michael was not just a hairdresser.

He was a friend, a confidant, a miracle worker on bad hair days, a great listener and story teller. There Michael O’Neill were several times when I would be sitting in the chair and Michael would just stare, really thinking about what I wanted and how best he could cut. He took his job very seriously and never took short cuts to finish up for his next client.

My husband also had his hair cut

by Michael and one time he shared with Michael how he wished he would cut my hair really short like it was 20 or so years ago. My husband brought in an 8x10 picture and Michael placed it on a center wall at the receptionist desk the day he knew I was coming in. What a great laugh we had when I noticed the picture.

The best of all was when I shared with Michael that I was tossed a baseball at a Mariners game by John Olerud. He was a student of mine in Bellevue and having him toss me a ball was quite special. However, I wished that it could have been signed. He shared this story with Paul Abbot, who was also a client and the next time I had my hair appointment, Michael handed me another baseball with an inscription to me by John Olerud. Wow! Michael was a very special individual. He will surely be missed by so many people.

Praise for Snowden, Manning Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning have shown more guts and concern for the welfare of Americans as well as for the people of the world than most members of Congress.

I have just watched the interview with Snowden recorded in Hong Kong on June 6 and was very impressed with his answers and concern for the rights of people. This world is very much in trouble and is at a crossroads.

I can’t help but think many of the past tragedies in my life time such as the wars in Vietnam and Iraq and the slaughter of millions in Cambo-

dia, parts of Africa as well as other places could have been avoided had we heard from those with knowledge of such plan events had the guts to speak up.

I also very much fault the media for its failure to report news and events that are harmful to society such as on going poverty, economic and social injustices, growing concentration of wealth at the top, etc.

Congress and the media have obligations neither have met in regards to the welfare of our society.

Spend time on important issues The Bellevue Saturday Market gets more discussion time by the Bellevue City Council than the maintenance yard for light rail. Councilman Don Davidson made a statement that was right on. At an earlier meeting when the council was involved in a long discussion about rhododendrons along the light rail line Davidson said, “I can’t believe we are talking about this stuff.”

We need to use our council for what is most important to Bellevue: Traffic, taxes, safety, parking, etc., not Saturday Market and rhododendrons.

Legislature listened, What do teachers do? We’ll find out kept taxes in line T

O

ver the past 15 years, our team of supporters has sponsored and given the voters the opportunity to vote on our tax limiting initiatives. Their goals were the same:to send a clear message to Olympia that tax increases need to be a last resort, not a first resort. Using existing resources more effectively and prioritizing spending are what the people want, but it is not a message that elected officials tend to listen to.

So when the 2013 legislative session started, there was no reason to think this year was going to be any different.

So we did what we always do:We Tim Eyman filed an initiative to make it tougher to raise taxes. A few months later, the state Supreme Court found that a constitutional amendment is now required, and so we’re on a mission to do exactly what the court said to do.

During the legislative session, we asked our supporters to contact their legislators and remind them that the people strongly oppose higher taxes. But by the time we were ready to begin our initiative’s signature drive, only a few tax increase bills were pending and only a handful of tax increases were passed.

Maybe it was the threat of our newest initiative that got Olympia to not raise taxes. But by the time we were ready to begin our initiative’s signature drive, only a few tax increase bills were pending. The Senate Majority Coalition Caucus, citing the voters’ approval of our two-thirds-for-taxes initiative, took a hard line on tax increases. When the dust settled, only a handful of tax increases were passed.

We think on taxes this year, the Legislature scored an A-.

But Olympia's appetite for tax increases has not ended; it's only been suspended. The battle over tax increases will heat up again next year and the year after.

And it’s for that reason we will continue to pursue letting the voters vote on our initiative putting a 2/3-for-taxes constitutional amendment on the ballot.

hose wondering what public school teachers do all day are going to get an answer.

Tucked deep in Washington’s new two-year budget is money for a study to find out what a “typical work day” looks like for thousands of teachers toiling away in the state’s 295 school districts.

Lawmakers specifically want “an estimate of the percent of a teacher’s typical day that is spent on teaching related duties and the percentage of the teacher’s day that is spent on duties that are not directly related to teaching.”

They’ve asked Central Washington University’s respected College of Education and Professional Studies to figure it out for a paltry $25,000.

Researchers there intend to use much of the next school year to collect details Jerry Cornfield of teachers’ daily lives in small, medium and large schools situated on both sides of the Cascades and in all corners of the state.

With logs, surveys, interviews or other means they will try to reveal how teachers pass the hours, a subject of much debate in an unending political inquest of public education.

“It’s an old question that no one has ever answered with data,” said Linda Schactler, director of public affairs for the Ellensburg-based university. “We’ve answered it with anecdotes.

We think we know but we haven’t actually done the research.”

It’s hard to not sit through a legislative hearing on the quality of Washington schools without a champion of education reform insisting the system is failing students because teachers are not spending enough time teaching.

This is followed by a rebuttal from a teacher-type saying they can’t spend more time teaching because it is tied up on tasks required by the state like compiling reports and conducting tests.

Rep. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, proposed the study by the university because he was tired of listening to the backand-forth in front of the House Education Committee on which he serves.

While he thinks teachers are weighted down by stateimposed chores, he wanted to find out if it’s actually true.

“I got frustrated at the unfunded mandates,” he said.

“During the session there were some folks trying to add requirements to the teacher’s work day. I said they’re full.”

He and two teachers who serve on the House panel — Rep. Monica Stonier, D-Vancouver, and Rep. Steve Berquist, D-Renton, — are going to help design the study.

A full report is due in December. However, lawmakers are likely to give them until the end of the school year in order to track time expended for testing which happens in the spring.

McCoy hopes the final product will bring clarity to one part of the conversation on education reform. But he isn’t so naïve to believe the results will quell the debate on how teachers spend their time in the classroom.

“You’ll still have the naysayers saying it won’t mean anything,” he said.

And the results may prove McCoy’s thinking wrong about teachers and become fodder for reformers.

“I understand that,” he said. “We have to get the information out there.”

Once lawmakers know much time teachers are teaching, they can tackle the next question of how well they teach.

Bellevue woman preps for Swedish SummeRun

OverlakeHospital.org/BellevueClinic

For Bellevue resident Corrine Cope, ovarian cancer hits very close to home. In the past four years, Cope has seen two of her aunts and her childhood neighbor be taken by the disease.

Frustrated by the hand their family and friend was dealt, Cope and her sisters – Jessica Shane and Jackelyn Immel – decided to get involved with the fight against the disease.

First, they contacted the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian cancer Research at Swedish. Next they started the Totally Teal Toast pub crawl, which will celebrate three years of fundraising in Bellevue this February. And this Sunday, Cope, along with family and friends, will participate in the Swedish SummeRun for the second time.

Cope says she originally got involved in the fight against ovarian cancer because she and her sisters didn't understand how three women so close to them could be diagnosed so late. The Totally Teal Toast team took shape when Cope and her sisters researched the disease and realized that ovarian cancer’s deadliness was often due to a lack of symptom recognition.

Bellevue shoreline plan advances The Bellevue City Council agreed on a two-prong strategy for updating the city’s Shoreline Master Program, and, ultimately, forwarding the plan to the state Department of Ecology for final review and approval.

The shoreline plan is required by state law and provides a regulatory framework for managing shorelines in Washington.

Local plans must be consistent with Ecology guidelines.

The Bellevue Planning Commission has been working on shoreline issues for more than five years. In May, the commission recommended that the council consider several components of the plan update that had been

OVER 8111-2 DowntownBellevue_RP.indd 1

be addressed," Cope said.

The sisters decided that starting the team would not only play a part in the healing process for them, but also could potentially save other women from this often overlooked disease.

A fairly new team, Cope said this year's team will consist of approximately 20 guys and girls hailing from Bellevue, Sammamish and Kirkland. While their goal was originally to raise $1,000 she said they've already surpassed that.

In addition to spreading awareness and camaraderie, the upcoming race also will serve as a point of pride for Cope, as the high school dance team she coaches will be on hand to cheer on runners.

"It's really cool for me to see the look on people's faces – to see survivors or families light up – when they see someone with pom poms cheering them on along the way."

The SummeRun and Walk for Ovarian Cancer takes place July 21 at the corner of Madison and Minor streets in Seattle.

Registration ($30) begins at that location at 6:30 a.m. For more information go to www.summerun.org.

completed and posted online for review. Ecology conducted an informal review and sent a letter to the city containing comments on the commission’s recommendations.

On Monday, the council directed city staff to work with Ecology on the content of the commission’s recommendations and possibly narrow the range of issues that need to be resolved. Councilmembers also directed staff to begin work to finalize the remaining elements of the shoreline plan update prior to formally submitting it to Ecology. The council plans to review and discuss the plan update during a study session later this year.

Chamber coalition gets update on jobs, transportation from Eastside legislators

BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

Eastside politicians and business leaders met at Microsoft headquarters in downtown Bellevue on Tuesday to share takeaways from this year's marathon three-session Legislature.

The event, hosted by the Eastside Chambers Legislative Coalition, addressed a disappointing transportation package, budget and bolstered funds for state education to comply with the McCleary ruling.

“It's been a grueling three-session Legislature. It [adjournment] is barely two weeks old, but I think there are lessons to be learned from this situation, it's a long time since we operated as a split Legislature,” said District 45 Democrat Rep. Larry Springer.

The chamber coalition includes the Issaquah, Sammamish, Kirkland, Bellevue, Bothell, Newcastle, Redmond, Renton, Snoqualmie Valley and Woodinville chambers.

Discussion centered mostly on the topic of transportation, which District 48 Democrat Rep. Cyrus Habib noted to broad agreement, was critical not only to immediate job creation in the form of con-

struction labor, but in the long-term as the Eastside grows its economy. Despite the backing of businesses and most constituents, the $10 billion transportation package died in the Senate, opposed by District 48 Republican Rodney Tom, leader of the Senate Majority Coalition and his colleagues.

“We couldn't do transportation because both sides thought of it as a hostage. Do you know what it's like to have a dead hostage?” said District 41 Democrat Rep. Judy Clibborn, Chair of the House Transportation Committee.

Transportation, she said, had largely been pushed to the end of the session. With all that's at stake, Clibborn added, legislators would

have to go to work in the interim or risk not passing a package of equal merit in 2014.

Habib, who noted the closures of I-405 and 520 over the weekend, said that the consequences of a stunted deal would be felt by all. He encouraged audience members, businesses and constituents to engage in a “hard conversation” with their politicians: “[tell them] we know you look out for us during tax time, but we'll remember who's with us and who's not.”

The package, which had been approved by the House, would have included a gas tax increase of 10.5 cents to go toward projects

like a replacement bridge over the Columbia River and state Highway 167.

Legislators also touched on the controversial prospect of tolling I-90. Eastside cities, including Bellevue, have rallied for a more extensive study of the impacts and need for I-90 tolling.

On the topic of bringing jobs, Habib, who served as Vice Chair of the House Committee on Technology and Development, said that Washington would have to do more to edge out competition from Silicon Valley and other high-tech hotspots. Washington is one of the only states that taxes start-ups before they're profitable.

HB 1693 was intended to grant some relief, but never made it out of the House.

The news wasn't all doom and gloom though, said Habib, after Tom noted Boeing's departure could become emblematic of the state's business environment. Washington and in particular the Eastside's talent pool would continue to be a magnet, bolstered by a healthy school system.

District 48 Democrat Rep. Ross Hunter pointed to a boost of $18 million invested in computer science and engineering programs at UW, WSU and WWU, funding he said that would turn into local jobs several years down the line.

Camp Unity to call local church home After split with Tent City, organization continues to give back to community through service projects

BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

“We’re an empowerment camp, not a homeless camp,” says Tari Wiggins, executive director of Camp Unity Eastside, a nonprofit started in November of last year after breaking with Tent City 4.

In June, Camp Unity and First United Methodist Church of Bellevue applied for a permit to temporarily stay in the city, starting in September. If approved, the 85-person encampment would move from its current location in Kirkland. The encampment which transports its own showers, wash basins and portable toilets, would stay through December.

“Our goal is for our [members] to leave homelessness and rejoin society,” explains Wiggins.

It’s not the first time the Bellevue church has extended a hand. In 2009 it hosted Tent City 4 and the city of Bellevue again welcomed the encampment in 2011 at Temple B’nai Torah. Camp Unity broke with Tent City 4 in part because parent group Seattle Housing and Resources Effort (SHARE) objected to randomly running members through a sex offender registry. Earlier that month a suspect

wanted for first-degree child rape had been arrested at its Kirkland location.

Tent City officials argued that while they prioritized safety, they felt such routine background checks were an invasion of privacy.

“We provide food for the most part, a meal in the evening and we have our own showers – almost all the amenities you need in every home,” says Wiggins. “When you’re job hunting you need those services to spruce up and be presentable.”

Camp Unity has ongoing background checks, a strict no drug or alcohol policy and a regular security force with a supervisor on duty 24/7. The burgeoning nonprofit also distinguishes itself from other encampments with its focus on giving back to its host neighborhoods, and on rehabilitating members. Residents participate in community service and Wiggins says that while still being developed, the camp offers skill-building programs. A website details residents’ artistic talents, including an album of a row of stone birdhouses and a short poem by another member.

“To tilt the odds in favor of getting someone out of homelessness,” reads the website, “you have to give them access to simple services.”

Camp Unity organizers observe that a growing number of members are from out of state, many having moved from Texas or Arizona expecting to find jobs, and then becoming stranded when work isn’t immediately available. But Wiggins says success

stories aren’t uncommon.

“One fellow got a job in the computer field on the Eastside…We’ve had two other couples in the last two weeks find housing and move out,” says Wiggins. “That’s a high success rate.”

He adds that as with any addition to a neighborhood there are hiccups along the way. The first couple of weeks can lead to noise complaints as the encampment settles into its new environment, but the Eastside has thus far been welcoming, says Wiggins.

To address community concerns, a meeting will be held at First United Methodist Church in partnership with the city of Bellevue on August 1 at 6 p.m.

cash and jewelry (especially gold) that are in sight and accessible. If you have a safe use it to secure valuables (passports, blank checks, credit cards, extra house and car keys and firearms ). A safe should be heavy and bolted down to concrete.

• If you are away, leave a radio or TV and/or light on and ask a neighbor to periodically check your house. Timers on interior and exterior lights are also good even when you are not away – and vary the times they are turned on and off. Make sure newspapers are removed daily in addition to garbage cans brought in from the curb.

• If you have a car parked outside, remove garage door opener and registration/ insurance information and do not leave anything valuable in plain view.

• If someone is knocking on your door, especially in the daytime, they may be casing your home. Address them from inside your home so they know someone is home and call 911 if you feel this is suspicious; don’t open the door for any reason. Try and observe any vehicles or other subjects associated.

• Don’t “advertise” what you have just purchased by leaving the packing boxes from your new television or computer next to your recycling totes; break them down and put them inside.

The Bellevue Police Department works with the city's Neighborhood Outreach Program in such activities as organizing Block Watches and getting involved with the Neighborhood “ACTS” Program, an innovative approach to community-oriented policing where people can make their neighborhoods safer and get to know your neighbors.Those interested in the program can call Det.

The sun is out, summer is here and it is a good time to take some easy steps to better protect your home from crime.Residential burglaries are a nationwide concern and the Bellevue Police Department is taking steps to help improve community efforts for crime prevention.

Criminals are always looking for the “opportunities” to commit their crimes, police officials say.When people give them these opportunities, they can become a victim.

Police advise people to take a pro-active approach in “hardening” their person and property to ensure they are not taken advantage of.

Many of Bellevue's neighborhood associations have blogs or Facebook pages dedicated to the sharing of information among neighbors.The police department encourages that form of communication.

However, it does not substitute for calling 911 for Bellevue Police Department’s to respond to suspicious events or subjects.

The department notes that making a record of car descriptions and license numbers (even partial) can help. For suspicious individuals, a description including approximate height, weight, build, facial hair, clothing, etc. also can assist police.

However, the department adds, people should never put themselves at risk to get the information.

Bellevue police offer the following tips to protect a home from a break-in: • Call 911 to report any suspicious activity.

• Lock all doors and windows. Ensure the interior doors leading from the garage to the home interior are locked.

• Keep garage doors closed at all times.

• Walk the perimeter of your house to ensure there are not items left unattended that could pose as an opportunity for a thief, such as garden tools including lawn mowers; ladders; bicycles; UPS, FEDEX or US Postal items delivered to your doorstep when nobody is home.

• If you have an alarm – use it!Post the yard stakes or adhere the window labels advertising to the thieves that you have an alarm.

• Hide jewelry and valuables – most of

Engineering for Kids coming to Bellevue Franchise to focus on teaching science in camps, after-school programs, workshops and field trips

BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bill and Eunice Tsai hope to offer school programs for students on site. COURTESY PHOTO Roberts first came up with the idea to start Engineering For Kids while working as high school engineering teacher 11 years ago. When she realized how little her students new about engineering before taking her class, she decided to start the Science and Technology Student Association at her school. As interest grew, and the group's membership hit 180 students, she decided to tailor the

When Bellevue residents Bill and Eunice Tsai decided to take a sabbatical from their respective jobs last year, they had one goal: to spend more time with their kids – now four and six years old.

But Bill, an architect, and Eunice, a pharmacist, were also looking for a new path.

"We always wanted to start a business," Bill said. "And we wanted to do something related to kids."

It's for this reason they decided to become franchise owners of the first Engineering for Kids in King County when they returned.

Started in Fredericksburg, Va., by educator Dori Roberts, Engineering For Kids is a franchise offering a range of learning-based classes including after school programs, camps, evening classes, in-school field trips, workshops and birthday parties for kids ages 4-14. The Tsais plan to open a Bellevue location – one of nearly 60 locations throughout the United States – in September.

program and apply it to as many kids as possible.

"I saw the need for children to see what [engineering] is all about," Roberts said.

Roberts was also interested in introducing her own young children to engineering – and worked to develop classes in aerospace, chemical, civil and industrial engineering for kids in elementary school.

Like Roberts, the Tsais saw the important of introducing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education to their children at a young age. Bill also cites their location on the Eastside as a strong factor in bringing Engineering For Kids to Washington.

"Bellevue has a lot of engineeringbased businesses," Bill said. "There's a lot of interest from people here."

The Tsais have already gone through training and secured a building on Northup Way. The first courses being offered at the Bellevue location this fall will include lessons in aerospace, chemical and mechanical engineering. The Tsais eventually plan to roll out courses in LEGO Robotics, as well as civil and marine engineering.

Although the learning center on Northup Way will serve as home base, Bill says a large aspect of owning an Engineering For Kids franchise is building relationships with local schools, so they can offer after school programs on site.

"We really want to grow the interest in STEM education in this area," Bill said.

Bellevue City Council takes steps on marijuana use The Bellevue City Council on Monday took a step toward establishing interim zoning regulations related to the legalization of recreational marijuana use, as well as permanent regulations for medical cannabis collective gardens.

A public hearing is scheduled for July 24 before the Planning Commission, and city staff will present options and make recommendations on potential zoning designations.

Medical cannabis collective gardens and recreational marijuana uses are separate but related issues, and there has been some confusion about the relationship between the two since state voters passed Initiative 502 last November.

I-502 legalized the use of marijuana by people 21 and older, and allowed possession of up to one ounce. Retail sales are expected to commence in April 2014. In Bellevue, more than 59 percent of voters approved the initiative. The state Liquor Control Board is in the process of writing rules for the implementation of I-502.

Regarding medical cannabis collective gardens, Bellevue has been operating under interim zoning regulations for the past 15 months. During that time it has held three public hearings and extended the interim regulations three times, for six months each. The city allows collective gardens in four land-use districts, but prohibits the operations of medical cannabis dispensaries.

Bellevue’s top tee shots With a host of private and public golf courses designed by notable names such as A. Vernon Macan and Masters Champion Fred Couples, Bellevue has no shortage of scenic and challenging tee shots.

The Reporter visited some of Bellevue’s most popular courses and spoke with local golf pros to find out which tee shots are the toughest, have the most picturesque views and provide the biggest challenge for players.

A green tucked behind a pond and flanked by bunkers and a false front mean only an ideally controlled tee shot will leave much of a hope to make par, especially from the black and blue tees.

Firing a tee shot down the right side of the drastically sloping fairway is the safer play, with a water hazard to the left of the ideal landing area.

Of all the features that have made The Golf Club at Newcastle one of the region’s top destinations, patrons know it is the panoramic views of Lake Washington, Seattle and the Olympic Mountains that provide the ultimate separation and none match the first hole at Coal Creek.

“It’s exactly what you think of when you think of Newcastle and playing golf here,” Director of Golf Mark Rashell said. “There is no place where you get to start a round of golf like you do on Coal Creek.”

the 410-foot (from the blue tees), Par 4 third and Glendale Country Club, which Assistant Golf Professional Patrick Ackerman cited as his favorite tee shot on the course.

“You have to hit it long, down the right side to have any shot at the green,” he said.

Anything left or left-center and you have trees in your way.”

Setting up for an approach at the tuckedaway green will be easier from the right, but an out-of-bounds means even playing to that side is no easy task off the tee.

Along with the demanding shot down

No course in the region can match The Golf Club at Newcastle’s incredible views of Seattle, Bellevue, Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains. Even on an overcast day, the panoramic views make Coal Creek one of the most ideal locations to play a round of golf in Washington. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter

the dogleg left hole, Ackerman said the elevated green provides a picturesque view down course.

“It’s visually appealing from the tee, you are up way high teeing down,” he said. “It’s a demanding tee shot.”

2 at Bellevue Golf Course (488, 474, 441, Par 5) The second hole at Bellevue Golf Course isn’t the longest or most narrow, but certainly offers a unique set of pitfalls.

Those who choose to lay-up to reach the green in three have more of a cushion,

but longer hitters trying to get there in two strokes risk compromising their approach shot by failing to clear a hump in the fairway.

“Right at about 200 yards from the green, if you don’t get left of that it is a very tough approach,” course pro David Anderson said. “You only have about five yards of fairway.”

9 at Tam O’Shanter (449, 426, Par 4) Tam O’Shanter is far from the longest course in Bellevue, but its location off the beaten path makes it an ideal place for a relaxing round.

The ninth hole is a favorite of regulars and provides a steep drop from the tee box down to the undulating fairway.

High among the trees When it comes to team-building, Anne Weinberg knows diversity is key.

Weinberg has spent the past six years with Northwest Team Building, a group tasked with helping a variety of groups work better together and discover areas of improvement through challenge courses around the area. She said the course at the South Bellevue Community Center is one of the most unique in the area because of the variety of high and low elements.

“It’s a beautiful course in a great environment,” she said. “The way it is designed is really convenient and diverse.”

Weinberg was part of a two-person team leading a group of youth campers through the city of Bellevue at the Challenge Course this week and said it is

common for groups of developmentally delayed or physically impaired individuals to take advantage of the low-course.

Kate Arustamian, a 14-year-old Bellevue resident, made her first trip to the Challenge Course as part of a city camp and had already become more comfortable as a result of the emphasis on teamwork.

“I’m really excited because I’ve never done this before,” she said. “With people around me, I feel more comfortable.”

The Challenge Course is located at 14509 SE Newport Way. Call 425-4524240 to make a reservation.

Bellevue senior honored by U.S. Soccer Garret Jackson, a rising senior at Bellevue High School and defender for Crossfire Premier’s U.S. Soccer Academy team, picked up another honor recently when he was named to the U-17/18 West Conference Starting XI. Jackson has started 25 games for Crossfire this season for head coach Bernie James and has netted a pair of goals.

The team, chosen from among players on 18 academy teams from Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and British Columbia, included only one Crossfire player in Jackson and only three from Washington squads.

Q&A CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

When someone calls in with a consumer complaint, one question we ask is, ‘Are you a veteran?’ We want to know that, and be able to track cases that are targeting vets…. Veterans (and) active-duty (service-people) have certain rights other folks don’t.

Q

Why did the state file suit against Arlene’s Flowers, the TriCities business that refused to serve a gay customer?

A

Under our consumer protection laws, we have broad authority to make sure businesses follow our laws.… Our law against discrimination has a group of protected classes.

You can’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion… In 2006, the Legislature added sexual orientation as a protected class. In our view, it’s clear the owner discriminated against an individual because of his sexual orientation: He wanted flowers for his same-sex wedding.

Q

You’ve been working with Google on privacy concerns. What are your thoughts about privacy in the digital age?

I joined 22 other attorney generals in writing a letter to Google.

Google changed its privacy controls, but didn’t notify folks, giving them the chance to opt out or adjust their privacy settings…. (That change) shouldn’t happen automatically.

(Residents) should have the chance to weigh in and have the settings they want to protect their data as they move through the internet. The average Washingtonian can’t afford a high-priced lawyer. We’re the advocate for the people.

Q A

What are the latest scams that residents should watch out for?

Many scams… often have similar aspects. During the summer months, when the weather is good, you see folks come to your door, offering services… (and) contractors coming by, offering a great deal. Folks should always go to our webpage to get information about the person at their door. Any deal that seems too good to be true, usually is.

Q A

What else are you proud of?

We’ve got 266 people civilly committed at McNeil Island. These individuals are the worst of the worst… sexually violent predators. Every year,

they come up with the possibility of being released. So we work to keep folks civilly committed. This year, we had 17 cases for recommitment. We have been successful in 16 of those.

A look at Bellevue’s past

Q A

What do the latest round of state budget cuts mean for your office?

Everybody’s got to do more with less. But to be candid, those cuts have real impacts…. I don’t intend to scale back our customer protection efforts. If anything, we should be enhancing those. In a conversation with state legislators, I said, ‘I’m about to hand you a (settlement) check for $5.5 million. Just leave me $2 million.’

They said no. Salaries were frozen for our attorneys for a number of years.

A first-year attorney makes $50,000.

A second-year, third-, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-year attorney makes $50,000 a year. We’re losing attorneys all the time…. Thankfully, the freeze was eliminated this year…. Addressing it is tough when our budget is being cut, but I felt something has to be done, because it’ll ultimately cost the state more, as well as being unfair to those who are working extremely hard.

Then and Now Vuecrest and the Patrick Downey Farm Like much of Bellevue, the modern Vuecrest neighborhood was once farmland. The earlier aerial, taken in 1930, shows the Patrick Downey Farm. Downey came to Bellevue and homesteaded in 1882. He and his wife, Victoria Maria, had 13 children. In both images, Northeast Eighth Street can be seen at the bottom of the picture and 92nd Avenue Northeast on the left side.

Medina to pay former city manager $200,000

Medina will pay former City Manager Donna Hanson more than $200,000 as part of a separation agreement.

The agreement was effective as of July 13.

As part of the agreement, Hanson will receive $156,754, an amount equal to what she would have earned as a base salary as city manager through Sept. 12, 2014. In addition, she receives an additional $51,401, which included accrued wages, unused vacation and sick leave, and city contributions to her retirement plan.

Hanson agreed to release the city from any future claims.

In the agreement, Hanson agrees to cooperate with Medina in any litigation that arose during her time as city manager, specifically mentioning the case of former police chief Jeffrey Chen, who successfully sued the city and Hanson for firing him based on racial discrimination. If the city appeals that ruling, and Hanson is required to spend time and/or travel to participate, she would be paid ah hourly rate of $64.13, which was her hourly salary at Medina, plus reasonable travel expenses.

A federal court jury ordered Medina to pay Chen $2 million in compensation. Hanson was ordered to personally pay Chen $25,000 in punitive damages.

Both the city and Hanson agreed to not disparage each other, including officials and employees.

...obituaries William Joseph Schneble

William Joseph Schneble, “Willy”, “Doc”, “Poppy” of Bellevue, WA was born August 18, 1938 in Dayton, Ohio to Clem and Marian Schneble.

Bill was a captain in the U.S. Army and served in theVietnam War as a physician. He moved his family out west where he worked in private practice as a Internal medicine physician and FAA examiner 43 years. He was loved by his patients and pilots who appreciated the time he would take to sit and talk with them. The Northwest allowed Bill the opportunity to enjoy many outdoor experiences with his family.

Bill’s real passion in life was fishing with his son, son-in-law, daughters, grandchildren, or anyone else who would take him.

He could be found wearing his Fish Fear Me shirt, a pole in one hand and peanuts in the other. Sadly, he had more luck eating peanuts than catching fish!! He was a loving and dedicated husband, dad, granddad, and brother. He was excited to be a part of all family activities and was usually the last to leave the party. He was a dedicated soccer coach to his kids and instilled a love of the game in his children and grandchildren.

He loved to work in the yard and happily tended to his or other family members’ gardens. He loved to spend time in Plain, WA and could often be found puttering around doing odd tasks. He was a simple man who took joy in simple things.

He always encouraged his family to “be nice” and asked God to help all of us be better people.

He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, of 46 years, his children Mary Haynes (husband Shawn) of Woodinville, Peggy Ruehr (husband David) of Bellevue, John (wife Sue Haviland) of Carnation, Becky Cornish (husband Peter) of Woodinville, Laurie Schneble of Bellevue, six grandkids Ella, Spencer, August, Grace, Madison, Carson, siblings Shirley Balcerek (Pennsylvania), Jerry Schneble (Michigan), Dan Schneble (Michigan), Kathy Viall (Ohio), his dog Vinny (MIA) and five grand-dogs.

A celebration of his life will be held on Monday, July 29, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Louise Church in Bellevue. In lieu of flowers, the family asks to send donations to the Wounded Warrior Project at www.woundedwarriorproject.org 832989

Gypsy Soul brings new tunes to Bake’s Place

BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

Brought together by a chance meeting in Scotland more than a decade ago, real-life couple Cilette Swann and Roman Morykit have been making compelling, eclectic tunes as Gypsy Soul for years. But the duo’s 10th album, The World Is My Country, may be their most personal yet.

“We actually separated for a while, while we were still doing Gypsy Soul, and it was probably the best thing we could have done to rediscover ourselves,” Swann said.

Released in their own Off The Beaten Track Recordings label, the new album offers a wide range of styles, from somber cello to slinky bass and drums.

The Reporter recently caught up with the duo before their July 20 show at Bake’s Place.

REPORTER: Your music pulls from several different genres. Is that intentional?

Roman Morykit: I think we have a lot of different influences, and that has definitely influenced how we write music, and what we like to hear. Most people don’t listen to one type of music, they listen to different types. We wanted this album to work like that, be a journey, to sound like a playlist.

Cilette Swann: And growing up on different continents, we grew up with different influences. With Roman growing up in the UK and me growing up in North America, we were exposed to different types of music.

What’s happening in the world of art

the head (by the Taliban)...she was a massive inspiration.

Morykit: Sonically, I get inspiration from our drives. I see things as a sonic landscape instead of an actual landscape.

REPORTER: Has your sound changed throughout the years? If so, how?

Morykit: It definitely has evolved. But surprisingly, this last record has more elements from our first or second records. We’re always influenced by music happening at the time, but we actually went back a bit.

We kind of, with this last record, we didn’t edit ourselves at all. We went in with no pre-conceived idea of what this album was supposed to be. We were just writing songs and if we liked them, we put them on the record. Whatever the song dictated, stylistically, that’s where we went.

REPORTER: What’s your favorite song to perform live at the moment?

Morykit: “Soul Of A Girl” is pretty fun.

Swann: “Always Been You” and “Soul Of A Girl,” for me right now. It’s so fun to watch an audience, especially new people. You know when you’ve connected with them, you can see it, and once we’ve done that we can can relax as performers.

Arts Roundup Director of MFIT visits SAM On Friday, July 19, Seattle Art Museum patrons will have the opportunity to meet Valerie Steele, renowned fashion historian, author and curator from The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (MFIT).

The event, which begins at 7 p.m., will feature Steele discussing the Japanese “fashion revolution” of the 1980’s. Visit seattleartmuseum.org for tickets; Members: $5, Adults: $10, Students/Seniors: $8. Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Avenue, Seattle (Plestcheeff Auditorium).

the] previous location twice. It’s a great venue, and they have really good food.

That’s important to us, playing venues that our audience will enjoy.

Swann: Because they want an experience. They want to dress up and go out and have a date night.

REPORTER: What do you hope people walk away with when they leave your show?

Morykit: What we hear the most from fans is that their hearts have been opened. You see it happening in the audience; there are songs people connect with. We want it to be an enriching experience and a good time. And we want them to leave and be excited to tell their friends about our band.

Swann: We get emails from people who saw us 10 years ago that ask when we’re coming back. That’s what we want to do – make a lasting impression.We want our music to stick with people.

When people choose your music to be on their playlist, that’s the biggest honor of all.

Local teens take on ‘RENT’

Beginning next week, CORE Theatrics will present “RENT.” The production - running July 26 & 27 and August 2, 3, & 4 - will feature 32 local students.

The shows score incorporates pop, gospel, tango, blues, and rock ‘n roll. “RENT” is a R show recommended for ages 16 and up.

Show times: Friday & Saturday at 7 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $16 Student and Senior and $18 for adults at www.coretheatrics.com/rentthemusical.htm. Performances will be held at the Lake Washington High School Performing Arts Center, 12033 NE 80th St., Kirkland, WA 98033

Local couple returns to Bellevue Festival of the Arts

BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

Iris and Bob Jewett are not strangers to Bellevue Arts Week.

Founders of Wilburton Pottery, a ceramic company they’ve been operating out of their home for more than 20 years, the Jewetts have participated in all three shows that make up Bellevue Arts Week – BAM ARTSfair, Bellevue Festival of the Arts and the 6th Street Fair – since the early 90s. This month, they’ll return to the Bellevue Festival of the Arts, hosted by the Bellevue Downtown Association on July 26-28.

“Out of a lark, we just competed to be in the Bellevue Art show – and we got in,” Bob said about their first experience with doing a show. “We made a lot of money and we’re surprised.”

Bob said he got in to pottery several years ago, when he decided to take a class at Bellevue College to learn how to make garden pots. While the company started as an outlet to sell those pots, they’ve since abandoned the pots to focus solely on their decorative ceramic tiles.

The tiles come in several sizes and depict a variety of creatures and scenes, including dragonflies, frogs, rabbits and trees. In 1994, Iris and her daughters, Laura and Leonora, joined Bob in design and production. They now have more

than 500 designs.

Following that first success, the Jewetts decided to take their business on the road, attending around 20 shows a year, including those in Idaho, Oregon and California. While they’ve cut down on the number of shows they attend in recent years, they still make the trek to the San Francisco Flower and Garden show.

“We have customers that bring us baked goods and sandwiches,” Iris said. “They take care of us.”

Another portion of their business – customized tiles for customers around the country – is run through the Wilburton Pottery website.

While the couple admits business slowed down greatly as a result of the recession, they continue to receive orders.

Most recently they were commissioned to design a lighthouse tile for a company on the New Jersey coast.

But for Bob and Iris, meeting people is what these shows are all about. In addition to keeping her mind sharp, Iris says building relationships at festivals is an important part of their business.

“It’s nice knowing the artist,” Iris said. “It’s a big difference.”

Though the couple has had the opportunity to travel to several art shows, they insist the Bellevue shows are among the best in the country because of the high attendance and the caliber of the artists showing.

Bill and Iris Jewett have been participating in Bellevue Arts Week since the early nineties. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter “The Bellevue shows are really competitive; a lot of people come from out of state,” Iris said.

Bob and Iris original tiles start at $15. For more about their art, go to wilburtonpottery.com.

Busy Eastgate intersection to get new traffic signal

Bellevue will update the traffic signal at 150th Avenue Southeast and Southeast Newport Way to speed up traffic flow. CRAIG GROSHART, Bellevue Reporter

The wait for that long light at the intersection of 150th Avenue Southeast and Southeast Newport Way is about to get better. Bellevue will install adaptive signals, which respond to traffic conditions in real time and coordinate with nearby intersections, and add a short, northbound leftturn lane to the intersection.

Maintenance needs at the intersection also will be addressed with the project.

Construction will begin July 22 and continue through the middle of September.

Construction hours will be 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

After Eastgate's annexation into Bellevue,

the Transportation Department began studying ways to improve efficiency at the intersection. Because of the "split phase" signal operating system, one direction of traffic was waiting at all times, resulting in extra traffic delays and backups.

During construction, flaggers will help direct traffic through the intersection daily and, if necessary, police officers will be added during peak commute hours. The Metro stops southeast of the intersection, serving lines 246 and 823, might be temporarily shifted to accommodate for construction, but will still be accessible.

Bicycle racing at Marymoor this weekend

NATSU MATSURI at Uwajimaya Seattle Saturday & Sunday, July 27 & 28 • 11am - 6pm Featuring 15 Food Booths, Performances by School of Taiko and Massive Monkees, a Visit from Hello Kitty, Eating Contests & More!

See www.uwajimaya.com for more info.

Some of the fastest track cyclists in North America are headed to the Velodrome at King County’s Marymoor Park this weekend for two days of all-out racing as part of the 2013 Marymoor Grand Prix.

Racing begins at 7 p.m. on July 19 and 20 with qualifying races starting at 1 p.m. on Friday and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

As one of the premier races on this year’s USA Cycling National Track Calendar, the Marymoor Grand Prix will feature several current national champions, as well as former and future Olympians, who will be competing on fixed gear bikes with no brakes and at speeds of up to 40 mph.

Special guests this year include Sarah Hammer, a double Silver Medalist at the London Olympic Games, six-time World Champion and reigning World Champion in the 6-event “all around” Omnium. Guests also include two-time Olympians Jame Carney and Giddeon Massie, and several Olympic hopefuls, including Portland native Kevin Mansker and Sammamish native Tela Crane.

Admission to the event is $5 per person; kids 16 and under are free. There will be a “Kiddie Kilo” both nights and children are encouraged to bring their bikes and helmets to participate.

A beer garden sponsored

by Mac and Jacks Ale will be open from 6:30-10:30 p.m. both evenings. Food is available from vendors in the park, or spectators can bring their own picnics.

King County’s Marymoor Park is home to the only velodrome in Washington.
