U.S., but somehow things clicked,” says Dugar.

Though her son is young, Dugar says the move has maybe been most difficult for him.

The Bellevue School Board on Aug. 6 got its first look at how the district plans to spend an additional $18.1 million it will receive from the state. The money is part of the recent state budget that funneled more money into education. The state money will boost the district's 2013-14 expenditures to $216.3 million.

The school board is expected to adopt the budget Aug. 27, following a public hearing.

Highlights of the budget include: More than $1 million to support new instructional initiatives; $4.2 million more for employee salaries, including both increases for experience and from contract negotiations; and An additional $2.6 million for special education, including eight new certificated positions and $600,000 to respond to the Special Education study.

The district also proposes putting $18 million – or 8.3 percent of General Fund expenditures – into reserves.The proposed budget also allocates an additional $332,000 for high needs schools, for a total of $3.4 million in 2013/2014, as well as 37 additional teachers and five administrators. An additional school resource officer will be restored for middle schools.

Regarding money being spent directly on students, the district proposes: ■ 60.4 percent spent on teaching students; ■ 10.8 percent spent on supporting students (counselors, librarians, health services); ■ 5 percent spent on maintaining buildings and fields; ■ 4.3 percent spent on school leadership and offices;

New lives start on the Eastside

BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

B

ellevue is increasingly heralded for its diversity. The most recent census data indicates that just over 30 percent of the population is foreign born, up from 13 percent in 1990. A growing number of people from Beijing, Chennai, Moscow and lesser known locales are calling the Eastside home, even if just for a short while.

Below meet some of the faces behind the city’s changing social fabric.

JAYSHREE'S STORY

Jayshree Dugar recently returned from a four-month trip to India, for her two-year old son’s hair-cutting ceremony, a ritual performed usually before a boy’s third birthday. In the year she’s lived on the Eastside, maintaining her dual identities has been a careful dance. She can find certain ingredients from home at ethnic grocery stores, has met others who moved from India to the Eastside and says she’s finally gotten a grasp on the bus system. But some things are nonnegotiable.

So when her husband suggested that rather than performing her son’s hair-cutting ceremony as tradition dictated, they send his locks to a relative back home to take to a temple, she resisted.

“I said we need to go, we have to go. And we went back to India,” says Dugar. “The whole family went to Rajasthan, to a temple for the ceremony.”

Dugar was born in India and for much of her youth called Nepal home. When she married her husband, she relocated to Hyderabad before again moving to the coastal city of Chennai. There, her husband began work for Microsoft. When an opportunity arose for him to relocate to the company’s Redmond

Volunteers stuff backpacks for Bellevue kids in need

BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

Volunteers filled the Stevenson Elementary School gymnasium in Bellevue on Wednesday morning, where they sorted through hundreds of back-to-school supplies as part of the 18th Annual Good Start Back To School program.

The event is a year-long effort by the local non-profit Congregations for Kids, a coalition of local congregations working together to ensure any student who needs supplies for back-to-school has what they need.

The coalition, with support from Eastside

businesses and community organizations, gathers donations and stuffs backpacks to fulfill student requests, which have been compiled by the school district.

Since 1996, Congregations for Kids has filled more than 15,000 backpack requests from students in the Bellevue School District. This year, the program will provide backpacks and school supplies to approximately 1,650 students from low income families in the Bellevue School District - 100 more than last year.

A new project proposed for the BelRed neighborhood would capitalize on its future location as a light rail corridor to contain office space, neighborhood retail space, residential units, underground parking, parks and open space.

If permitted, Burnstead Construction's Pine Forest Properties, Inc. would contain six buildings and provide 2,172 parking stalls once done and would be just south of the East Link alignment when it opens in 2023. The development could hold up to 670 new residents and 2,221 workers.

The space is just north of Lake Bellevue and a car dealership and is used by a warehouse and three office buildings.

City documents indicate that buildings would range from nine to 12 stories.

Development is anticipated to occur over two phases. Approximately 1.16 million square feet will be constructed along with approximately 2,200 parking stalls.

This total includes approximately 712,000

gross square feet of commercial, 420,000 gross square feet of residential, 25,000 gross square feet of neighborhood retail and approximately one acre of park and other open spaces.

The Bel-Red corridor from 120th Avenue Northeast to Northeast 26th Street has been staked out for re-development.

East Link and the main Microsoft campus have made the area a desirable space.

Goodman Real Estate (GRE), a Seattle firm, has plans for four multi-family buildings at the former site of Angelo's Nursery between Bel-Red Road and 156th Avenue Northeast. A mixed-use development is planned on the former Group Health hospital site in Redmond, just north of Bel-Red Road.

A public meeting on the Pine Forest project is set for 6 p.m. Aug. 28 at Bellevue City Hall, 450 110th Ave. NE, Conference Room 1E-108.

Sometimes when she Skypes family in India and Nepal, she’ll find him packing his suitcase afterward as if to go home.

For Dugar, the autonomy of being stateside is something she is still acclimating to.

Back home, and surrounded by in-laws and cousins, meant that she couldn’t leave the house without checking with a relative first.

Dugar says she doesn’t know how long her family will stay in Redmond. The couple frequently visits India and when they aren’t on the phone or Skyping relatives, she’s sending photos of her son.

“Life is more comfortable here,” says Dugar. “But for me, at a certain point, I want to go back and to raise my children with family and relatives around them.”

JULIA'S STORY

Julia Chikulaeva’s first moments on the Eastside were like a movie, she remembers.

“When driving from the airport to Bellevue and we [hadn’t] slept for more than 24 hours, but it was a shock,” she says.

“I remember I was sitting in the cab and watching through the window with an open mouth.”

An engineer from a hometown just outside of Moscow, Russia, she and her husband had moved for her husband’s job as a software engineer at Microsoft.

Chikulaeva’s H-4 visa prevented her from finding work. But because she knew no one but the pet dog the two had moved with, Chikulaeva found herself wrestling with symptoms of depression.

“The weather, the grey sky, they don’t have a driver’s license yet,” says Estrella Chan founder and ESL instructor of English Around the World who works with many recent immigrants. “Until they learn the bus system, they have to wait until their spouse comes home.”

Chikulaeva spent her spare time studying English, walking her dog, taking classes through Bellevue College or watching TV, but the isolation soon got to her. Chikulaeva’s husband had his peers at work and the

stability of his job. Other members of his team were also from Russia, so he enjoyed some familiarity there.

“At first I wanted to go home to Russia...

Now it’s better,” she says. “Here, people are more relaxed, people smile [at you on the street] and it makes my mood better.”

FARA'S STORY

When Fara Li first moved to Bellevue from Beijing with her husband, she was struck by the beauty of the Northwest – the clean air, greenery and comparative vacancy of the streets. But the first moment she felt definitively that she was in a new country was when she realized how little she knew about the laws and systems of her new home. Driving one night she heard a cop car's siren behind her, but didn't think to pull over.

“There were so many thoughts going through my mind. I felt really bad. Can they keep a record of that? Can that affect my credit?” wondered Li aloud, who except for the Internet and a few close friends, didn't have anyone to consult for answers.

“It was really a bad feeling – to not know.”

Encouraged by Chan, Li began volunteering at Mini City Hall, a neighborhood service center that specializes in nine different languages and connects East Bellevue residents to neighbors less likely to take advantage of City Hall. In China, Li was also employed at Microsoft, but she decided upon moving that she wanted to pursue a different career in human resources. Socializing also helped Li's initial symptoms of depression.

"I'm not that extroverted…I like to talk with people, but I [have to] make an effort" says Li. "I had that concern when I came here."

Though she’s since found work, she struggled at first to develop a routine: "I had things to do, but there's not a deadline or a fixed schedule, so you don't see the point in getting out of bed."

Volunteering helped her build a connection: "It was only a couple hours a week, but it was something to get involved with. And I was so excited about that."

Kindering graduates 436 children from special program A total of 436 children graduated from Kindering's Early Intervention Program on August 7 at Crossroads Park Pavilion as happy parents and friends looked on. The graduates received a diploma and a flower to commemorate their growth and success.

Of the 436 youngsters, 124 are from the Bellevue area.

Kindering provides birth-to-three therapy help for special needs children. When most children come to agency for the first time, the chance they will learn to walk, crawl, or even swallow may seem remote.

"Our experience at Mimi Siegel Kindering has been nothing short of a miracle in our lives," said Lola Ryan, whose twins were born two months early.

Both boys experienced speech delays and one had an ICU stay that may have caused the social fears he experienced during his first two years, Ryan said. Kindering provided the family toddler/preschool classes and home visits from a speech therapist.

"Our boys will soon enter pre-K in the Bellevue school system as typically developing students, with much credit to the intervention and assistance from Kindering," Ryan added.

Started in 1962 in a church basement as the Eastside Preschool for the Special Child, Kindering is the only provider of such services for families on the Eastside. Today, Kindering is the largest neurodevelopmental center in the Northwest, helping more than 3,500 children and their families annually.

“To maximize a child’s potential, early treatment is profoundly important," said Kindering Executive Director Mimi Siegel.

"Research shows that early intervention in the lives of these children correlates with higher lifetime achievement, reduced need for special services later on, and a happier and more fulfilling life overall.�

At the end of their time with Kindering, 99 percent of graduates show measurable progress in development, and 38 percent of kids no longer require special education services because they have bridged the gap between them and their peers.

Individualized programs at Kindering include physical and speech therapy, special education, family counseling, a nutrition and feeding team, integrated Spanish programs, parent-child in-home programs, social support programs for children with Autism, parenting and sibling support and training, and specialized foster care for children who are developmentally disabled, medically fragile, or generally at risk because of abuse or neglect. These programs continue to grow and improve every year.

More information about Kindering is available at 425-747-4004 or at kindering.org.

ments in the state of Washington to receive the award.

The re-accreditation from CPSE is the third for the Bellevue Fire Department and is one of several city of Bellevue departments that have been accredited by nationally recognized, professional organizations.

Bellevue Fire Department receives re-accreditation The Bellevue Fire Departments has received re-accreditation by the Center for Public Safety. Bellevue Fire Chief Michael Eisner and Battalion Chief Bruce Kroon accepted the re-accreditation while attending the International Association of Fire Chiefs conference in Chicago.

“Accreditation is an essential tool for improving upon the high level of performance established by the Bellevue Fire Department,” said Acting City Manager Brad Miyake. “It ensures that the public is getting great value for their tax dollars in the form of quality services.”

Bellevue Fire was first accredited in 1998 and was one of only 8 departments at the time in the nation to receive this prestigious recognition. This process embodies a pursuit of excellence within the fire industry; CPSE measures each and every aspect of an organization and benchmarks those findings towards continuous quality improvement.

The center's accreditation program reflects a comprehensive self-assessment and evaluation model that enables fire and emergency service organizations to examine their service levels and performance in a way that allows them to compare to industry best practices.

Currently there are only 171 fire departments that are accredited. Bellevue Fire Department is one of four depart-

A woman at a senior living facility suffered minor injuries Monday night from a fire in a sofa.

Bellevue firefighters responded at 8:15 p.m. after an automatic smoke alarm was activated on the third floor of a building in the 13300 block of Southeast 26th Street. Ladders were used to access the apartment and firefighters quickly extinguished the fire after the building’s automatic sprinkler system was activated.

The cause of the fire was a burning cigarette. A total of three apartments were impacted by water damage, but no residents were displaced from the building. A preliminary damage estimate was put at $75,000.

A staff member at the facility reportedly assisted the woman in exiting the apartment after she attempted to put out the fire with a pitcher of water. The staff member closed the door as they left, helping to prevent the fire from spreading.

The resident of the apartment was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where she was treated for minor injuries.

Davidson concedes election Bellevue City Council member Don Davidson, who sought re-election for his Position 6 seat, has conceded to competitors Lynne Robinson and Vandana Slatter on Wednesday afternoon.

Early primary results indicated a close race between Davidson and Slatter. At the most recent count, Davidson had 25.18 percent of the vote to Slatter’s 26.3 percent. Robinson took an easy lead with 48 percent. Votes will continue to be counted through Aug. 20.

“Although I am not advancing to the general election, my commitment to protecting Bellevue’s neighborhoods, preserving our parks and environment, and keeping our property taxes low remains steadfast,” said Davidson in a statement. “I look forward to working on these issues as I continue my service on the council for the remainder of my term.”

Davidson has served on-and-off on the council since the 1980s. He vowed to continue his environmental activism and civic affairs in the city.

Beginning in September, Sound Publishing, Inc. will combine the strength of its community newspaper readership and home delivery with the respected classified content and brand recognition of its Little Nickel products.

Little Nickel’s advertising will be delivered within the pages of the Bellevue Reporter.

“Our Nickel advertising clients will certainly see benefit of having their advertising message delivered directly to homes. And our readers will no longer have to remember to pick up a Little Nickel at a rack. This change just makes sense,” said Gloria Fletcher, Sound Publishing president.

Little Nickel rack distribution will be eliminated.

Sound Publishing has established five zones in King, Snohomish and Kitsap counties to give people a wide range of options for their advertising. Each zone has a circulation between 50,000 and 80,000. Advertisers will be able to place ads in any or all zones and/or in individual Sound Publishing newspapers.

As part of the business change, the Little Nickel offices in Everett, Tacoma and Portland will be closed. Many Little Nickel employees will be retained and will move into other Sound Publishing offices throughout the Puget Sound area.

Back to school stories show why students are in good hands

I

t’s back to school time here in Bellevue. Well, almost.

Students in Bellevue’s public school actually get back into the classrooms on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

But today we begin reporting on a number of new programs and initiatives that will be in place this year in Bellevue schools. The stories will continue over the next several issues and include a look at fall sports, too.

By many measures, Bellevue schools are among the top in the nation. The district long has been considered a bellwether district, one that constantly pushes to find better ways to educate students.

A couple of those are highlighted in today’s Reporter.

On page 13, you’ll find a story about the district’s dual language school where all students will be taught in Mandarin Chinese and English simultaneously. The new school will be the only Mandarin Dual Language School in the state which follows a two-way model.

An article on page 10 tells how the district is expanding its DreamBox program for elementary students. It’s a math program that adjusts to each student’s individual learning pace.

Not only does the program help students who struggle with math concepts, but also students find it is fun to do. As one third grader said: “I like the days when I can use DreamBox. After school, I go home and play DreamBox.” The above just scratch the surface of what’s going on in the classrooms.

There’s also an opinion piece on this page from Rod Jones, a trustee on the Bellevue Schools Foundation Board, about how that organization works hand-in-hand with the district to produce world-class education for our children.

Bellevue has a lot going for it. From what we can see, our children are in very good hands.

Yes, Bellevue is a thriving community full of actively engaged citizens and leaders, a dynamic business environment, beautiful Rod Jones landscapes, and an increasingly diverse population.

Many of the largest and fastestgrowing companies in the state and, in fact, the entire Pacific Northwest, have chosen Bellevue as their base of operations.

We are also home to one of the top school districts in the nation – no accidental twist of fate. We have committed parents, educators and community leaders focused on providing a world-class education for our children.

Perhaps this storybook view of our community, along with the widely held belief that Bellevue is an affluent and homogeneous suburb, leads some to conclude that Bellevue schools don’t need additional funding or community support.

Can GOP defeat Demos and not selves?

G

ov. Jay Inslee is enjoying a two-week vacation hiking in Alaska, probably thinking little about a second term.

But a decision will be made in Spokane next week which could cause him havoc should he pursue re-election in 2016.

That’s when 117 Republicans, three from each of Washington’s 39 counties, will gather to elect a new leader of the state’s Grand Old Party.

While it’s only August 2013, the person chosen will be looked upon to design, then pour, a foundation strong enough to support a viable challenger to Inslee, who has had a rocky few months at the Jerry Cornfield helm – including a nearmiss shutdown of state government.

A carload of candidates are vying to become the boss. Early projections put two women, Luanne Van Werven of Lynden and Susan Hutchison of Seattle, in the driver’s seat.

Van Werven is the acting chairwoman of the Washington State Republican Party, filling in when Kirby Wilbur skipped out to a new job. Hutchison, executive director of a Seattle foundation, ran unsuccessfully for King County executive in 2009.

Whoever wins – and it could be someone else – will receive a to-do list familiar to every Republican Party chairman before them. And for that matter every Democratic Party chairman as well.

It calls upon the leader to: ■ Raise lots of money and spend it wisely; ■ Deliver the Republican message clearly and constantly to the media and the masses; ■ Supply the grass roots with data and dollars for training and deploying volunteers; — Keep peace among the partisans.

Arguably, the last task is the trickiest, if not most important.

Washington Republicans’ tendency of late

is to pull apart rather than together in the crunch time of elections. Curbing this habit is a Herculean chore requiring a blend of personal finesse and political fierceness.

Consider two symptomatic snapshots from 2012.

Shortly after the primary, tension sifted through a Republican phone bank operation in Everett when backers of defeated gubernatorial candidate Shahram Hadian resisted making calls on behalf of the party’s nominee, Rob McKenna. Hadian ran to the philosophical right of McKenna and his followers found the former attorney general too liberal for their tastes.

Fast forward to the final days of the campaign when a fundraising letter signed by party icon Dino Rossi went out on Washington State Republican Party stationery.

Rossi didn’t make the pitch for McKenna, but for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Apparently Romney asked and McKenna didn’t, even though McKenna had a shot at winning and Romney did not.

Neither occurrence cost McKenna victory.

Rather, they expose a damning problem the incoming leader inherits: Washington Republicans too often allow the personal to become political and it impedes the party’s accomplishments.

Democrats, on the other hand, grin and bury it.

Party members do get frustrated with antics of their chairman, Dwight Pelz. And lawmakers and influence peddlers of the Democratic stripe were flummoxed by Inslee on many occasions.

But if any are worried about the governor’s vulnerability three-and-a-half years from now, they aren’t going to pipe it out to the public.

Such self-inflicted damage would be tougher to overcome than an attack by a political opponent. They know unity right up through election time – even if some Democrats do so with gritted teeth – pays better dividends.

Change takes time.

As Inslee vacations with re-election far from his thoughts, Republicans are getting to ready to make a decision with Nov. 8, 2016, foremost in their minds.

Reflecting before reuniting

BY MARNIE DELCARMEN ewport High School will have its 30th reunion in October and although I am NHS Class of 85, I’ve been connected to the Class of 83 for 46 years, through my sister Michelle.

All my life I’ve lived under her shadow.

At Tyee Middle School she placed into humanities, a special class for advanced thinkers. I didn’t pass the entrance exam.

She scored second chair flute in band. I was third violin in orchestra. She graduated from University of California, Berkeley; I, the University of Washington.

She became vice president of a savings and loan. I squandered my English degree driving buses and cashiering.

I think most people are sheepish on attending high school reunions. They don’t want to review the path they’ve taken against others. If we do the comparison game it leads to unhealthy results.

There is an old story about seeds that were sown. Some fell on stony places, others scorched by the sun, and some on good ground that multiplied. The parable means to me that only the select are saved, and there is only one way.

But people are complex bundles of humanity. College isn’t for everyone; a successful job may bring you riches, yet keep you from your family. The pattern of marrying your college

Marnie and Michelle DelCarmen sweetheart, having kids and the house with the white picket fence isn’t reachable for everyone.

In affluent Bellevue, it’s even harder when there are expectations to follow only one route.

Wherever the journey, one needn’t wallow in the shadows, but rejoice that you are alive, and every day you can move towards the light. Bellevue’s libraries, community centers and continuing education programs offer fertile ground for any seed.

No matter your age. Also, the Bellevue Reporter’s calendar offers wonderful ways of staying connected with the community and most are free.

And Michelle, my older sister, I am proud of you and everyone in the Class of 1983, even though I may have sold your flute online. Go Knights!

Marnie DelCarmen lives in Bellevue.

Crafting greeting cards brings second career

Glenn joins Banner Bank

BELLEVUE REPORTER

When Gail Round was laid off from her job in 2009, she went back to school. She began taking classes at then Bellevue College in the evenings, both to retool herself and in the hope of keeping busy. She already had two degrees, an MBA and a BA in business with 35 years in the field.

Using Illustrator, Round began designing greeting cards – bright, colorful cards featuring plants and animals with ink that popped.

“I spent hours learning how to do it,” Round said. “It’s not something they necessarily teach you in class. It’s your style; how do you make something glisten on the page? How do you make a flower look like it’s a real 3-D flower?”

“I was so much happier,” said Round, who was rehired in the interim, but kept returning to card-making.

Now she is a contender for WalMart’s “Get on the Shelf” competition, which merchandises local talent after asking the public to vote on their favorite products. Round’s cards are eco-friendly and made entirely locally. She has all-occasion batches ranging from Mother’s Day to Birthday cards, and just about everything in between.

Round, who runs operations out of Bellevue, is no stranger to business. She was a program manager for Microsoft and an

accounting manager for Matsushita Avionic, a subsidiary of Panasonic. Round, who says she'd never seriously considered herself an artist, drew when she was younger. But crafting greeting cards, she says, combines both of her loves: the startup nature of a new business and the left-brained creativity of designing.

Early on, she sketched designs on the page first. Because ideas came so freely and easily to her, she carried a notebook around with her. But as Round became more adept at Illustrator, she took her designs straight to the computer.

“It's a combination of everything. I feel like I have been able to keep learning, growing and doing in my life. All things that I truly enjoy” says Round. “I never planned on greeting cards... but I love making these designs.”

Mike Mulligan has joined AAA Washington as an insurance manager at its corporate headquarters in Bellevue. His primary focus will be in the Puget Sound region. He has been in the industry for nearly 25 years.

MulvannyG2 Architecture Chairman Jerry Lee wins Spirit of America award MulvannyG2 Chairman Jerry Lee was awarded the Spirit of America award by the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (C.A.C.A.), one of the nation’s oldest civil rights organizations. The award was presented to Lee at the alliance's Gala Dinner and Grand Ball on Aug. 10th in Oakland, Calif. as part of the Alliance’s 52nd Biennial National Convention.

First awarded in 2003, the Alliance created the award to recognize “Americans who embody the indomitable spirit of our great nation, who have demonstrated superior leadership, and whose achievements have made a national impact on all Americans.

Lee was specifically honored for being “a committed volunteer, a generous philanthropist, and a community leader who has dedicated his architectural skills and values to the advancement of community goals.”

“Home Care Assistance is known for providing the best caregivers!”

Four new restaurants coming to Crossroads Shopping Center Four new restaurants are being added to the eclectic lineup of locally-owned and authentic international eateries at Crossroads Shopping Center in Bellevue.

Openings began in July and will extend into December. Here’s the lineup:

The French Bakery Café

Local favorite The French Bakery has opened a second location in July inside Crossroads’ Public Market food court area.

The cafe features French pastries, crépes, and desserts baked on site, a full lunch menu and Italian espresso.

The French Bakery’s first Crossroads location has been a popular destination since it opened in 2010. It was voted “Best Bakery” in The Bellevue Reporter’s Best of Bellevue Awards.

Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria

Tutta Bella will open at Crossroads in October. Tutta Bella was the first restaurant in the Northwest to earn a VPN certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana.

The restaurant, which uses imported ingredients and centuries-old artisan traditions, has been named the "Best Pizza in Seattle" by Seattle Weekly.

The 7,000 square-foot restaurant will fearture 300 seats and a true four-season patio. It will be located at the main entrance to Crossroads on 156th Avenue Northeast.

Jinya Ramen Bar

Southern California-based Jinya Ra-

men Bar will open its newest location at Crossroads this month. Jinya serves authentic Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen that has captured the attention of the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, OC Weekly, and Angeleno magazine.

Pulitzer prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold described the fare as “big earthen bowls of ramen… a flavor bomb.”

Jinya will be located on the north side of Crossroads, near Barnes and Noble.

Thrive

Thrive Organic Café will serve freshly prepared vegetarian food and juices with a focus on raw and living foods. Owner and Founder Monika Kinsman’s goal is to demolish the myth that to eat healthy you must sacrifice deliciousness.

Founded in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle in 2008, Thrive has already garnered a number of awards and titles, including the first of “10 Great Places to Rejoice in Raw Vegan Dining” by USA Today in 2013.

Thrive will open Dec. 17 in Crossroads’ health & fitness zone next to Crunch Fitness and Stone Gardens: The Climbers Gym. People can get an early preview of Thrive every Tuesday afternoon now through October at the Crossroads Farmers Market.

Crossroads Shopping Center is located on the corner of 156th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street. More information is available at crossroadsbellevue. com.

lulumon athletica opens at Bel-Square lululemon athletica, a yoga-inspired athletic apparel company, has opened its first young adult clothing store, ivivva athletica, in the Bellevue Square Mall. The store carries a line of dance-inspired, crossfunctional athletic apparel.

It is the first full retail store in the U.S. for the apparel company.

The concept for ivivva athletica was cre-

ated based on feedback from guests who wanted athletic garments for a younger age group using the same fabrics, technical design features and colors for which lululemon is known. ivivva products are designed for athletic pursuits such as dance and gymnastics, as well as for all-day versatility.

The store is located at 575 Bellevue Square.

Lee started MulvannyG2’s signature charitable effort, Swing for the Cure, which has raised more than $1 million over 11 years for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Puget Sound, to battle breast cancer. His history of volunteerism also includes serving as a trustee on the Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation Board and membership in the hospital’s “Circle of Care.” He serves on the boards of the College Success Foundation, the Martinez Foundation, the Bellevue Arts Museum and the Seattle School District’s “Cities and Schools” and “Seahawks Academy” programs, which focus on at-risk kids.

Lee also supports Kin On Community Health Care and Nikkei Concerns, both elderly care facilities serving the Pacific Northwest. He also received the Community Service Award from the Seattle chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2006.

Even with the ready availability of calculators, math skills are still essential. Fortunately for Bellevue public school students, a shared commitment among Bellevue’s families, community members and businesses enabled the introduction of an exciting math program.

DreamBox, an adaptive math program that adjusts to each student’s individual learning pace, provides support for students who struggle with math concepts and skills, crucial review for mastering them, and extensions so students who are mastering concepts can enrich their math skills even more effectively.

Bellevue Schools Foundation funded the initial adoption of the program, following a successful pilot in the previous year.

“Programs like DreamBox are a perfect example of what our community does best through its support of the Foundation,” said Foundation Executive Director Roxanne Kröon Shepherd. “We all have a common commitment to supporting struggling students, students who need more challenge, and those in the middle. And of course our community understands the need to help every student achieve proficiency so they can succeed academically and thrive in the global economy. The results from DreamBox have been impressive.”

Somerset Elementary School teacher Hassan Homa explained how DreamBox helped the students in her classroom.

“Using DreamBox has allowed my students to practice skills I introduced during classroom instruction. It has provided additional opportunities to build a strong foundation

of math skills used in kindergarten and even higher grades. Because of DreamBox, my students’ thinking skills have improved tremendously.”

Newport Heights Elementary School thirdgrade teacher Alisha Singh noted the benefits for her students.

“DreamBox is an invaluable asset in my math instruction,” she said. “The adaptive, engaging lessons keep students interested and challenged and allow me to differentiate my instruction with smaller groups of students.”

Of course, when learning is fun and exciting, students stay engaged. Because DreamBox feels like a game, students are enthusiastic about using it.

“DreamBox is fun,” said Newport Heights third grader Tyler Yockey, a student in Singh’s classroom. “You get to learn math with lots of different strategies. You learn to play fun games about math. I like the days when I can use DreamBox. After school, I go home and play DreamBox.” The program was adopted for all students in kindergarten through third grade in the 2012-13 school year, and later expanded to include fourth and fifth grade students. Although it started as a pilot project funded by Bellevue Schools Foundation, the district was so impressed with its success that it will take over funding in the 2013-14 school year so DreamBox can be in the schools long term, and Bellevue Schools Foundation funding can shift to other exciting education initiatives.

Superintendent’s message: Students and others learning this year

BY J. TIM MILLS SUPERINTENDENT, BELLEVUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Welcome to what promises to be another outstanding school year in Bellevue. I hope you are excited about the prospect of entering a new classroom, learning new ideas and enjoying all the experiences that make Bellevue a great district.

Your education is our sole focus. Each and every adult in the district knows that providing you the best education possible is the most important job we have every day.

This year promises to be full of new J. Tim Mills experiences. A new school dedicated to Mandarin dual language instruction is opening in our Bellewood location. Sammamish High School, currently

under construction, is being rebuilt to the new state-of-the art standards needed to house a learning center dedicated to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Throughout our schools, teachers and staff are working hard to bring innovations, technology and best practices into the classroom to benefit you and your learning experience.

You’re not the only ones who will be learning. District teachers and administrators are working harder than ever to learn about new technology and upgrades, the latest teaching methods and training opportunities, as well as explore and celebrate the wide range of cultural backgrounds of our students and families.

District maintenance and grounds staff and custodians also have worked hard over the summer to prepare our

buildings for the new school year. Our classified support staff are ready to do their part in making this a great year.

As a student, one of the most important things I want you to know is that you are supported in your education and your life. Bellevue has built an amazing community of support around our students – from the Bellevue Schools Foundation and our amazing corporate partners to the caring fabric of parent and community groups and our own district staff. We continue to be so inspired each day by the intelligence, energy, creativity, passion and compassion of the students in our schools.

I can’t wait to see what you will bring to this new school year. I and the team in our schools and buildings will work hard to make sure this school year is your best experience yet.

We believe every child should be treated the way we would like our own children to be treated.

Bellevue to open new Mandarin Dual Language School A new school will open in Bellevue this fall – in a familiar place. The Mandarin Dual Language School will open its doors at Bellewood. The program, formerly located at Ardmore Elementary, has been expanded to become an entire school, answering a demand by parents and students who want children to excel in academic learning in Mandarin Chinese and English, Mandarin School Principal Vivian simultaneously.

Vivian Tam was Tam. COURTESY PHOTO, Bellevue recruited to Bellevue School District specifically for this reason. Relocating from Cambridge, Mass., Tam is the new principal at the Mandarin Dual Language School.

Mandarin Chinese is one of the fastest growing languages in the world.

“The Mandarin Dual Language School is a natural fit for Bellevue as it aligns with the growing Chinese population in the city,” Tam said. “Students and families could access excellent educational outcomes through real-life connections and through purposeful teaching and learning.”

The new school will be the only Mandarin Dual Language School in the state which follows a two-way model.

Student enrollment in the classes is balanced between native language speakers (Chinese) as well as students who speak other languages such as English, Spanish, Hindu, etc. as a first language.

The school will be a dual language school, where English and Mandarin Chinese are used to teach the curriculum throughout the day. That’s different from a full immersion program such as Puesta Del Sol, where just Spanish is used

to teach the curriculum for the majority of the school day.

Both approaches wrap students in a cultural and academic experience that accelerates the learning, but with different phased approaches, district officials said. More than 100 families in the 2013-2014 school year have registered their children for the new school in grades kindergarten through second grade.

Meanwhile, Tam is busy working with a district transition team to set up the new school to welcome students. Aside from the logistics of setting up a new school, Tam has been busy developing new relationships to ensure a strong connection to the community.

Her days have been filled with setting up classrooms and school offices, meeting with district transition team members and staff, connecting with parents, meeting

with Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee and other Chinese community leaders, to attending the Fu Dog dedication dinner.

“I am drawn to BSD’s and the city of Bellevue’s commitment in providing world class opportunities to prepare all students to succeed in career and in life,” Tam noted. “I am thrilled to be part of the leadership team in this global city to ensure delivery of academic excellence, multicultural and bi-literate competence, and 21st century skill sets to all students. “ Once the school year starts, the Bellevue School Board will hear options for a name for the new school.

At the same time, the district will explore options for a permanent site as it explores options for a permanent location.

Newcastle’s Trailblazer Years of work and a history in the forests is creating new path

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Peggy Price has been working on trails for as long as she can remember, and her connection to the pathways that wind throughout Newcastle’s wooded hills stretch back even further.

As a child growing up around south Seattle and Renton, Price would build pathways in the sand and hike with her father in the forests around their home, examining the footpaths and critiquing their engineering. At a cabin her grandfather built near the Tye River, she said the biggest challenge was resisting the temptation of forging a network of trails across neighboring properties.

“We went hiking, and my dad would show me what worked and what didn’t,” she said of her introduction to hiking. “I’m trying to pass it on.”

More than a decade after her work in Newcastle began, Price is on the cusp of taking another step forward with the grand opening of another section of the May Creek Trail Sunday, Sept. 15, which will form a link with the Highlands Trail that stretches east and eventually, the Olympus and Waterline trails on the opposite side.

While Price and her own family have dedicated countless hours volunteering on every phase of trail development and planning with the city of Newcastle, nearly a dozen projects have also been completed by area Eagle Scout candidates and their troops.

“There is no way we would be anywhere near finished without the Scouts,” Price said. “The kids really get in there.”

Bill Burris and his son Zach, now a college graduate, have worked alongside the Price family and Newcastle Trails for several years to preserve the heritage of Newcastle’s wooded paths, many of which have been reclaimed from horse trails dating back decades.

Burris said his family came to Newcastle some 30 years ago and like Price, his childhood included exploring the now developed hillsides and creek beds by foot and even horse.

“It’s a nice way to get out and see the nature and history of Newcastle,” he said.

“A part of what Scouts is about is providing for future generations.”

Sports Roundup

What’s happening in sports and recreation

Little fanfare for Bellevue, Skyline in preseason polls Bellevue and Skyline may be the multiple-time defending WIAA state football champions in Class 3A and 4A respectively, but that isn’t swaying national voters in preseason polls around the country.

The Wolverines, winners of the last five 3A titles, sit unranked in the USA Today Super 25 and Rivals top-25 lists, and are ranked 18 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25.

USA Today lists Bellevue 29th overall and does not include the Spartans, winners of the past two 4A titles and state champs in five of the past six seasons, anywhere in its top 50 teams.

Bellevue finished 2012 ranked atop the Sports Illustrated and ESPN.com rankings.

The two will open the season at Husky Stadium Saturday, Sept. 7 in the finale of the Emerald City Kickoff Classic.

Three Bellevue tennis clubs take sectional titles Three tennis clubs from Bellevue, Robinswood, Edgebrook and Pro Sports Club, won a sectional title at the USTA Pacific Northwest Regional Championships recently in Portland, Ore. The Women’s 2.5 team from Robinswood

beat The Dalles Fitness (Oregon) 2-1 to win the championship and earn a spot at nationals.

On the men’s side, Edgebrook took the title at the 3.5 level over Multnomah A.C. of Portland 3-2 and Pro Sports Club was crowned the champ at 4.0, beating Mountain Park R.C. of Lake Oswego 3-2.

Bellevue players on the Robinswood team include Sue Junker and Edna Gossage. The team is coached by Jason Chapman, who serves in the same role at Bellevue College.

The 18 & Over USTA National Championships for 2.5 are in Indian Wells, Calif., while the 3.5 and 4.0 tournaments are in Tucson, Ariz.

TRAILS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

A walk through the sloping, eighttenths of a mile stretch from the S.E. 89th Place to Highlands Trail at Coal Creek Parkway provides an overview of the time, energy and resources local Eagle Scout candidates have put in to earn their distinction and continue to grow Newcastle’s trail system.

Projects completed by local troops dot the trail, from a multi-layer waterline crossing to trail grading and resurfacing, and promise to not only enhance the experience for current users, but ensure the history of Newcastle’s trail system is passed down.

“We have a tremendous trail system in Newcastle,” Burris said. “There are a lot of opportunities for people to get out in the woods without having to drive miles and miles, and all of that is to the credit of Newcastle Trails.”

New football team for junior college students practicing in Newport Hills Bellevue’s newest football team, the Bellevue JC Bulldogs, are currently holding practices at Ringdall Middle School in Newport Hills, formerly the site of Eastside Catholic School.

The team, which is for students enrolled in at least five credits at any two-year institution in the area, has no affiliation with Bellevue College and currently has a schedule set for six games. For more information email bellevuejcfootball@outlook.com.

A clearing along the trail Price refers to as, “the picnic spot,” and where salmon came to spawn. May Creek and Boren Creek are two of the main attractions to the May Creek Trail, especially during the summer months. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter

Kingen’s drive-in restaurant Kingen’s drive-in restaurant was located at the corner of 104th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street and operated from 1955 until about 1960. Kingen’s opened six years after the new Bellevue High School building opened in 1949. It was Bellevue’s first drive-in, operated by Martha and Robert Kingen.

Kingen’s offered the usual fast food fare of burgers, fries and shakes, but also advertised a wild blackberry tart as a dessert option. They offered inside seating as well as in-car service from their car hops. Kingen’s was a popular after school hangout for Bellevue High School students. The Kingen’s son, Gerry, went on to become the owner of the first Red Robin restaurant.

Drive-in restaurants gained popularity, especially among high schoolers in the 1950s and 1960s as American car culture grew. The first drive-in restaurant opened in 1921 in Texas. Through the ’40s and ’50s they spread throughout the country. The speedy service offered at drive-ins was very appealing to those who were constantly “on the go.”

Drive-ins also offered patrons the then novel experience of eating in their cars.

Today Bellevue residents looking for the drive-in restaurant experience head to the Burgermaster on Northup Way. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter.

Leonard L. Richards

Leonard L. Richards left us on May 17, 2013 at the age of 100 years, 8 months and 15 days. He was born in a snowstorm on September 2, 1912, but his birth certificate was recorded as September 12th. His sense of humor was he had 200 birthdays, as he celebrated on both dates.

He never married but Pearl Hinze was his loyal lady for 65 years. He left 3 nephews; Thomas Martin of Saltwater Park, Larry Richards of Port Townsend, Bill Richards of Bellevue and a niece, Jean Richards Timmermeister of Spokane, sister-in-law Justine Richards of Des Moines, best friend Mickey McDermott of Bellevue, John, Angelica, Martha, Maya, Maddy and CJ from Whisper Creek Adult Home who gave him their loving care and attention so gracefully.

Len served his country as an Army E-3 nurse’s assistant in a shell shock ward in Utah from 1943 to 1946. He graduated in the first 4 year class of Cleveland High School in 1931. He worked at Bascom Wire Rope in Georgetown.

Place a paid obituary to honor those who have passed away, call Linda at 253.234.3506 paidobits@reporternewspapers.com All notices are subject to verification.

Richard, a long time resident of Yarrow Point, was born in Tama, Iowa, the son of Earl Cecil Loder and Vera Irene Young.

He moved to Washington State to work for Boeing Aircraft Company as a tool and dye maker. Later He joined the U.S. Marine Corps to participate in the fighting of WWII. He served in the South Pacific, first on the Island of Tinian and later landing on Okinawa in the initial attack. After the surrender of the Japanese he was stationed in China until his discharge.

He and his wife Juanita, were married in 1944 shortly before he went overseas. They had three children. A daughter, Diane, now deceased and two sons. John Richard, his wife Janet, and William Charles.his wife Nancy. Two grandchildren, Aaron William Loder and Jayme Brossard and four great-grandchildren.

His siblings were his brother Ralph Leroy Loder and sister Lois Jane Ferris also deceased.

After his return home he was employed by the University of Washington in their Medical Instrument Facility for 19 years.

Later he left to start his own company, Loder Instrument Company, still active in Redmond, Washington under the management of his two sons, William and John.

They purchased property on Yarrrow Point in 1946 where he cleared the wooded lot and built his own house. He made many improvements over the years but it is still the family home and his wife Juanita resides there. He enjoyed creating bonsai plantings and continued his interest in designing his garden in the Japanese style.

For thirty years or more he helped maintain the wells for King County Water District #1 of Yarrow Point. Seven wells provided the water for a section of the point and they were manually cared for without mechanical equipment... He was one of the water commissioners who kept the water flowing.

His greatest passion, besides his family and his insatiable desire to invent and build things was his love of flying. He was fortunate enough to own his own airplane, a Cessna 172. He flew it everywhere, and as often as he could. He also loved to hunt, fish and backpack into many of the high lakes in Western Washington.

He had a great smile, warm heart, and a great sense of humor. and we all loved him.

We wish to thank the caretakers at Comfort Home in Bellevue for their loving attention and excellent care.

Private interment was held at Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent Washington. In lieu of flowers choose a charity of your choice.
