Large crowd pleads for transportation fix

BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue forum first stop of nine set by state Senate and local legislators A large and vocal crowd sounded off on transportation issues Tuesday night as the state Senate kicked off a series of transportation forums, the first of which was held in Bel-

levue. Though speakers differed in their ideas on content, the resounding message urged the passage of a transportation package this fall in a special session.

Heavily represented were local governments and businesses. Representatives from Microsoft, PATH, Amazon and Wright Runstad all spoke to the condition of state transportation and the need to move forward if Washington wanted to remain a competitive market.

Congestion in the region has become infamous even on the East Coast, said Kathyrn Neal of Microsoft, noting the

difficulties of recruiting with such a reputation. Hundreds crowded the gym at Stevenson Elementary School and about 70 spoke before time ran out.

Tuesday’s was the first of nine forums to be held throughout this month and next, hosted by the Senate Transportation Committee and King County legislators.

Gov. Jay Inslee has considered calling a special session in November to address a stalled transportation plan.

Crates, tents – and lots of empowerment

State court rejects Kemper Freeman’s light rail lawsuit

Camp Unity, now in Bellevue, doesn’t see itself as a homeless camp

The Washington state Supreme Court rejected an attempt by Kemper Freeman Jr. on Thursday, Sept. 12 to stop Sound Transit from building a light-rail line on the I-90 floating bridge.

The 7-2 decision would permit light rail to continue as planned, using the center lanes for light rail. Appellants Freeman, the Eastside Transportation Association, former state Sen. Jim Horn and others, argued that the plan violates the state Constitution by using Washington's vehicle fund, which built the lanes, for another purpose. The majority vote determined that because Sound Transit would reimburse the state for the amount equal to the construction of the lanes under a 40-year lease, the funds weren't being misused.

“The Department of Transportation and Sound Transit developed an effective and fair partnership to upgrade and address traffic issues on the I-90 floating bridge,” said Bob Ferguson, Washington State Attorney General, praising his attorney's defense of the project. “This agreement respects the law and the Constitution while addressing a critical need.”

Justice James Johnson, who dissented, wrote that the vote eroded the Constitution’s protection of the motor vehicle fund for highway purposes.

"The majority again turns a blind eye to the subversion of the 18th Amendment's antidiversionary purpose, which assures the payers of gas taxes and vehicle registration fees that they receive full highway value for their money."

East Link is scheduled to begin service in 2023.

Once done, service between Seattle and Bellevue is expected to take as little as 20 minutes.

Steve Wiggins weaves between a sea of blue tarps at Camp Unity. Drills buzz in the background and some tents are still being pitched. The front of a few are decorated with potted plants, wind chimes or other yard decals, though the space between one tent and the next is only a narrow concrete aisle.

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

Earlier this week Camp Unity moved into its home for the next three months, the parking lot of First United Methodist Church of Bellevue.

Around 70 people live on site, says Wiggins, as he leads a tour of the site.

Blue-tarps are arranged in neat rows, each organized with a number and name.

There is a kitchen, dining area, front desk and office with a communal computer to be shared by members. Showers, wash basins and portable toilets will also find a home when Camp Unity finishes settling.

Steve Wiggins executive operations officer for Camp Unity, says residents don’t have a limit on how long they can stay at the camp. CELINA KAREIVA, Bellevue Reporter In about 48 hours time, the residents have packed up their last location in Kirkland, and moved to Bellevue.

“We broke one down and set up another one essentially. And now we’re in the fine-tuning stages. Usually four or five days after a move we have to readjust structure placement, the aisle ways, many little things,” says Wiggins. “But we’re in good shape now.”

Camp Unity broke with Tent City 4 in November of last year, 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 PASSPORT PHOTOS •

prioritized safety, they felt such routine background checks were an invasion of privacy.

“We were just generally displeased with the way the SHARE organization did things. [Tent City] gave you a place to get out of the rain, and a place to live and something to eat, but really there was no improvements in peoples’ lives,” says Wiggins, a former resident and camp advisor at Tent City 4. “No goals were set, there was nowhere to go.”

Camp Unity doesn’t have a limit on how long members can stay with the nonprofit, but as a community they actively encourage one another to look for jobs or schools. Camp Unity distinSEE CAMP UNITY, 8

New FDA Approved Treatment Proven to Relieve Knee Pain Treatment covered by Medicare and most major insurances.

D

id you know that over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? In fact, this pain accounts for 25% of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions. We’re pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced non-surgical FDA approved treatment.

What is available to treat knee pain?

After careful study and several trials the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain.

How does this treatment work?

Advanced live motion sonography allows us to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy.

If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting The Pain Center of Bellevue, a state of the art medical facility.

What is osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In OA, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. In most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

The cause of osteoarthritis is unknown. Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older (wear and tear) • Joint injury • Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/imbalance problems) • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities including sports, work and leisure activities

Considering Surgery?

People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option. Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else.

Will my insurance cover this treatment?

Medicare and most major insurances will pay for some if not all of our services.

What is actually injected into the knee?

Hyaluronan (Supartz) is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronan contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint. Hyaluronan is reduced or lost with those who suffer from osteoarthritis.

Therefore, the easiest way to think of Hyaluronan injections is that they help replace the joint’s natural fluid which is otherwise lost in osteoarthritis. It is sort of like changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil you would have some serious wear and tear on the

The new Park-and-Ride (right) will top out at 850 parking spaces next year. The adjacent mixed-use housing project next door will have 185 residences, approximately 7,000 square feet of retail, and 287 additional parking spaces for residents. COURTESY PHOTO

Metro's new Park-and-Ride now open for commuters Metro Transit’s new three-story garage at a busy park-and-ride in Bellevue near State Route 520 is open for commuters.

“The riders streaming into this hub are visible evidence of the growing transit demand here on the Eastside,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine.

“People and businesses need bus service, and we must stay focused on getting stable funding that averts the drastic service cuts on the horizon.”

The South Kirkland Park-and-Ride garage, on the Bellevue-Kirkland border, opened Sept. 5 and has 530 parking spaces, plus 260 spaces in the surface parking lot.

The lot used to have about 600 spaces, and will top out at 850 spaces next year once construction is complete on the mixed-use housing project next door. Together, the garage and housing comprise a so-called transit-oriented development (TOD),

successfully concentrating housing and a transit hub to reduce the need to drive or own a vehicle.

King County provided $8.8 million in funding toward building the transit center and garage, largely from grants by the Federal Transit Administration and the state Department of Transportation. Developer Polygon Northwest received funding and the housing parcel in compensation for building the garage and transit center.

The garage has seven of nine planned electric vehicle spaces with charging stations and two rows of bike racks. Security cameras are located on each floor of the garage. The park-and-ride serves Metro routes 234, 235, 249, 255, 981, 986 and Sound Transit Route 540.

The mixed-income, mixed-use housing development will include 243 apartments and is slated to open in fall 2014.

Fatal crash on I-405 investigated as vehicular homicide

BY JOSH SUMAN

BELLEVUE REPORTER

A fatal car wreck in the southbound lanes of I-405 in Bellevue the evening of Sept. 12 is being investigated as a possible vehicular homicide, according to Washington State Patrol. The deceased has been identified as Ian Riley Beckford, a 22-yearold Federal Way man.

Beckford was trapped inside his vehicle after it rolled several times and caught fire and, according to Washington State Patrol, the cause of the accident may be another driver high on methamphet-

That driver, identified as 27-year-old Samuel C. Sampson from Woodinville, was driving an Audi as fast as 150 mph when he struck Beckford's car and another vehicle.

He was taken to Overlake Medical Center and was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide.

Legislators need to listen to public on transportation needs

I

t’s not surprising that a large crowd turned out Tuesday night in Bellevue at a transportation forum by state Senate leaders. It’s also not surprising that they aren’t happy that the Legislature didn’t pass a transportation bill in the last session.

Like all things in politics, there’s lots of blame to go around for that legislative lack.

Yes, the House did pass a transportation bill last session.

That doesn’t mean it was perfect or solved all the pressing problems.

And, yes, the Senate coalition didn’t pass a version of its own, so no compromise could be worked out.

Adding to the problem was that too many legislators were holding back their vote on a transportation bill in an attempt to pry something else out of the session. When the session ended, many people were left wanting – including residents throughout the state.

It’s easy to pick at any piece of legislation. Nothing is ever perfect. But the reality in this state that more money needs to be spent on transportation and that money is going to have to come from more taxes.

Forget the mantra of “let’s be more efficient.” Paving a road is pretty efficient as it is.

Senate lawmakers will hold eight more transportation forums around the state. We bet they’ll hear cries for transportation fixes at every stop. The state has problems – and needs – everywhere.

There’s talk of a special session this fall to deal with transportation. It should seriously be considered. All legislators need to do is listen and they’ll understand the problems clearly enough.

Don't let Monsanto buy your vote On Nov. 5, the voters will decide whether to require food manufacturers to let consumers know if the products they sell contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

As a Washington citizen, voter and consumer, I support I-522, a citizen’s initiative to label GMOs. I’m also outraged to see that a handful of corporations are spending millions to defeat this initiative.

Monsanto alone has already contributed more than $4.8 million to the campaign against I-522. How will that money be used? To unleash an advertising campaign designed to frighten voters into voting against their own best interests.

Monsanto is obscenely profitable. The company makes most of those profits selling pesticides. Its only priority is its bottom line. Yet Monsanto will come into our state to run TV and radio ads in which it will pretend to care about the people who live here.

Don’t believe them.

I hope everyone in this state who eats food, and buys food to feed his or her family, will take a minute to think about why Monsanto would spend $4.8 million just to keep a few words off of an already long list of ingredients on food products. We have

Reimburse me for that garbage vote Please consider this my invoice to the Bellevue City Council for excess fees I will pay to have garbage pickup from my Bellevue home with the new contract it awarded. Although the city staff scored CleanScapes higher on qualitative factors and compliance and they had the lower cost bid, the council chose to still require Bellevue residents to use the higher cost service of Republic.

Mayor Conrad Lee was quoted as saying that the cost difference “is not significant when you spread it around all the customers, the ratepayers.” Well, as one of those “rate payers”, it is significant for me.

The city of Bellevue should reimburse me $226.80. This is the total of $2.70 per month (the average in-

creased payment for customers) for 84 months (7 years by 12 months), the length of this contract. I would expect an additional reimbursement if the contract is renewed for an additional seven years.

If the city does not have the funds to cover this invoice, then perhaps Lee and council members Balducci, Davidson, Robertson Wallace could create a fund for this from the campaign contributions they've received from Republic.

J

ean Berkey, the former Everett state lawmaker who died last month, was a nice lady.

She loved to barbecue oysters and collect agates and had a zeal for neatness and organization.

She had a deep commitment to the values and candidates of the Democratic Party, helping elect others then serving herself. She spent a decade in Washington’s Legislature landing first in the House then the Senate.

Like most in her caucus she leaned left on social issues. Unlike most, she leaned right on fiscal matters.

“That was kind of her cross to bear,” the Rev. Dennis Niva told 125 family Jerry Cornfield members, friends and former lawmaking colleagues at a memorial service in Everett on Saturday.

And it became the target on her back.

In 2010, Berkey lost her bid for re-election to the Senate seat representing Everett, Tulalip and part of Marysville.

Losing is part of politics but defeat is harder to accept when supposed friends have a hand in it and, as the state attorney general proved, they cheated.

Berkey failed to advance out of the primary in no small part because a Seattle political consultant dumped a wad of money into pounding her conservative stances then secretly spent thousands of dollars to drum up votes for an unknown Republican candidate. Many of those dollars came from the coffers of unions Berkey aided in her tenure.

The political legacy of Jean Berkey is not the loss, but what followed it — the ascension of Nick Harper, the decline of Democrats’ power in the Senate and tougher campaign finance laws.

Harper, a left-leaning Democrat, won the seat and is rapidly climbing the ladder of power in the caucus. He is deputy leader and could succeed Sen. Ed Murray as the leader should Murray be elected mayor of Seattle in November.

He’s also gaining recognition statewide. In August, he was named the state Democratic Party’s male elected official of the year, an accolade which will ensure Harper receives all the support he’ll need in his re-election campaign next year.

While Harper’s win kept the seat in the Democratic column, the manner in which it occurred is a cautionary

tale for his party as it reveals how far the left-wing will go in its pursuit of a more liberally pure caucus.

Arguably it’s cost Democrats — who hold 26 of the Senate’s 49 seats — control of the chamber. This year two moderate Democratic senators defected to form a coalition with Republicans to run the Senate. Last year, three Democrats did the same thing.

They don’t cite Berkey’s election as a reason, but will say the policies of their party’s left-wing are too hard line for them. Unless and until the Democratic Party finds a way to embrace these less liberal members, it will be the Senate’s minority party for an extended period.

Another imprint on state politics left by the 2010 election is its exposure of a gaping hole in campaign finance laws.

Moxie Media, the firm hired to take out Berkey, had created several political committees then set about passing donations from one to another. It was a shell game which made it difficult to identify the original source of the money.

Moxie Media wasn’t the only one to do it but did it more prolifically than others. It prompted state lawmakers to limit how many committees one group can form and stiffening rules for disclosure to help the public figure out where the money is coming from.

At the memorial service, no one mentioned the 2010 election.

Niva may have had it in mind when he spoke of the ripple effect Jean Berkey had on the circle of friends around her and in the political world, which she served.

“She changed who we are,” he said.

Luera will be asset to school board An email this week from Aaron Miller, Tyee Middle School principal, announced enrollment is up by 124 students this year, “significantly beyond our projections,” prompting the addition of staffing. I applaud the district’s prompt response, but wonder at the gross inaccuracy in planning.

Are district budgeters provided with the necessary tools, are they adequately helped to get it right? In the private sector, forecasting well is mission-critical.

In his day job at Clise Properties, Ed Luera is a real expert in this area. His addition to the Bellevue School Board will be a great asset to the whole system as it encounters rapid demographic shifts and swelling enrollment. It’s rare to attract someone of his caliber and accomplishment to run for this tough volunteer position. Please join me in voting for him.

Holland America Cruise Line hosts breast cancer survivors for sixth year

BY LINDA BALL

REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Captain Arjen Van der Loo, who has been at the helm of Holland America's Oosterdam for the past seven years, says he has "the best job in the world."

With 24 years on the bridge he has seen most of the world. An event held while the elegant ship was in port Sept. 8, has been special for Van der Loo and also for hundreds of breast cancer survivors for six years now.

The Oosterdam crew and the Susan Komen Foundation have made it a tradition to invite breast cancer survivors to the ship for a four-course lunch, followed by a program in the ship's auditorium. It's a celebration of life and a special day for everyone in attendance.

"With breast cancer being the second cause of cancer for women, there is not a person on our staff who hasn't been touched by this,"

Van der Loo said. "We want to share and help this very important cause."

The captain said every week there are four to six breast cancer survivors on board.

Holland America supports breast and other cancers with a program called On Deck for a Cause.

The program invites cruise guests to participate in a noncompetitive 5K fundraising walk on every sailing aboard each of the line’s 15 ships, with proceeds to be distributed among the American Cancer Society, and many other cancer research groups.

Guests donate $20, and 80 percent is distributed to the organizations with the other 20 percent covering administrative costs.

"While our ships are fanning out all over the world, we've chosen a foundation to support in several countries," Van der Loo said. He said he gets goose bumps before the

on-deck walks.

The Oosterdam has a passenger capacity of 2,100 to 2,300 people, with 60 on the technical crew and another 60 on the navigational crew. The view from the bridge is like being on the top of the world. The various gauges and charts make you feel as though you're in the Starship Enterprise.

But the day was about more than the ship.

It was about the survivors. I sat with the most incredible group of women who have all been down the same road as I have.

Patti Margeson tested positive for BRCA1, the same gene that Angelina Jolie has.

Through Jolie's fame, BRCA1 has been brought into the national conversation. Research by Dr. Mary-Claire King, a geneticist at the University of Washington, proved her theory that certain breast cancers are hereditary.

Margeson's son, younger sister and cousins are also positive for the gene, but her daughter is not. Margeson already was scheduled for a lumpectomy, so she elected to have a full hysterectomy at the same time to increase her

odds of living. She knows if the breast cancer comes back she is looking at a mastectomy.

"Every time I hear a story I second guess everything I did," Margeson said. "If I get it again I know what I have to do."

Lesli Zielke was diagnosed in 2008 when a mammogram revealed she had cancer in the right breast. She had a lumpectomy followed by radiation, but it came back two years later so she had another lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.

Sue-Z Trudell, an attractive, upbeat blonde, was diagnosed in January of 2011, the same month I was diagnosed. She went through chemotherapy, a lumpectomy and radiation and is doing fine now, as are Margeson and Zielke.

Then there was Marilyn Hazelton, who said I looked familiar. It turned out we both had reconstructive surgery at the same doctor's office, just different surgeons. The funny part is, she works there as a nurse.

Not only that, we had the exact same procedure, called a TRAM-flap, so we were able to compare notes and actually laugh about it.

Yes, laugh. But at the time you're going through it, it's not funny. Like all the ladies mentioned above, we all talk about "if it comes back." It's a hard thing to shake – the fear and dread of going through it all again.

The keynote speaker was author Erica Bauermeister. She said we had all become activists and daredevils in addition to becoming survivors.

I don't know that I'm a daredevil, but I do take chances now that I didn't before.

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

As Markeese Rieux looks around the new Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue facility at Spiritwood Manor, he can’t hide the flood of emotions.

Rieux glances around at policy makers from the city of Bellevue and King County, along with administrators from the club and a bright smile creeps across his face, the same one that has greeted youngsters and families around Bellevue for the past five years he has been with the club.

While all of those at the new building’s grand opening know the impact it will have on the dozens of children and teens the club serves each day, few know better than Rieux how long the road has been to get there.

“When I first saw this place, I was overwhelmed,” he said. “This is where I’m meant to be.”

Spiritwood and Hidden Village each celebrated a grand opening ceremony last week to commemorate a pair of facilities that community members have been longing for since the old ones closed in 2011. The new facilities–one for club youth and one specifically for teens–are complete with study rooms, a kitchen, offices and even a SMART board for classroom instruction. If anyone can speak to the depth and scope of the changes, as well as the increased capacity it offers club staff to work with youngsters, it is Rieux.

After moving to the area from California, he began as a part-time staff member at the original Spiritwood Manor club, operating out of a converted two-bedroom apartment and serving some 75 youth per day, including teens. A foster child during his own youth, Rieux said he only met his biological father after moving to the Pacific Northwest and also has connected with some long-lost siblings after they located him through old family records. When he began with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue as a 21-year-old, he was unsure what to expect of leading youths who were

not much younger than himself and many of whom faced their own struggles in school and at home.

“It was a weird feeling, knowing I was being watched at every turn,” he said. “The kids, for some reason we just connected and there was just this electric feeling.”

Even in its first incarnation, Rieux said the mission of club staff and excitement from the youngsters and families never wavered at Spiritwood Manor, which is only one of several low-income housing areas the club serves around Bellevue.

Ryan Scott, the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue, said with Rieux leading the charge as club director and the excitement in the community for the return to Spiritwood Manor from its temporary homes at Lake Hills Elementary and Eastside Terrace, the possibilities for even more lives to be impacted is there.

“His energy, excitement and passion for working with kids is infectious,” Scott said. “We try to grow our own and we’re really excited to have him running the facility.”

While the old Spiritwood Manor was cramped, dark and simply not suitable as a hub for area youth to congregate, the second incarnation is everything club staff and youth have been dreaming of.

Past the entrance is the main room of the club, where new tables and chairs can be moved in to place for snacks prepared in the adjacent kitchen, which comes complete with a pair of refrigerators and an oven. An art room is full of supplies for inspiring creativity and a computer lab with around a dozen state of the art machines ensures students can remain connected to technology even if they do not have a computer in the home. A study room with a SMART Board assists with homework help and offices offer Rieux and other club staff a space to manage administrative duties and meet with parents.

For the youngsters who come to the club after school and the parents who count on Rieux and other staff members to provide a daily, positive influence, the remodel has been a long time coming.

But for the newest club director for the BGCB, it is the realization of a mission half a decade in the making.

“The challenges, now I welcome them,” Rieux said. “I know you prevail through hard work.”

lates that 166 people will still be homeless at the current level of available housing. Often times when Camp Unity settles into a new location, neighbors will ask to tour, bringing with them friends or family members. And out of those touring groups more need arises, says Wiggins.

“We end up getting intakes and residents from the church community. It’s this phenomenon, people didn’t know they had homeless people living next door to them because they’re living on a relative’s couch or in a car in their brother-in-law’s driveway. It’s a much bigger problem than is commonly known.”

Still, Wiggins is optimistic. He notes a member of Camp Unity who that morning left for work as an engineer in North Carolina. Later, during conversation, he pauses to sort out transportation for a group of members who are headed to a job that day. presents ...

guishes itself not only on its commitment to transparency, but also the number of resources at its disposal – services that empower members to transition out of homelessness.

Those could take the form of legal advice, acupuncture or job training, resources that are more accessible because of Camp Unity’s small size.

Tents are set on crates, but Wiggins says he hopes to slowly transition into structures, similar in design, but with more headroom and greater durability. Around the perimeter of the encampment is a fence that Wiggens explains is in place because neighbors are sometimes nervous about its proximity.

Asked about the community’s response to their presence and understanding of homelessness, Wiggins said, “There is an awareness on the Eastside to a degree. But it needs to be grown and refined.”

He cites a recent survey that revealed there are an average of 406 homeless people on the Eastside each night.

Camp Unity can accommodate 100 people and Tent City, now in Redmond, an additional 100. And though smaller groups can take 10 or 20 here and there, Wiggins calcu-

What’s happening in sports and recreation

Knights on state pace in pool

Professional skateboarders and local enthusiasts are invited to share in the memory of a youngster taken by ALD

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

When Brad Zakes remembers his son Ethan, all he sees is a passing blur.

Before Ethan passed away from Adrenoleukodystrophy, more commonly known as ALD, in 2011, he had an energy and demeanor typical of a young boy his age. Even in the face of a disease that distorted his coordination and made everyday activities a chore, his most passionate pursuit remained: skateboarding.

“He lived for the whole skateboarding lifestyle,” Brad said. “He would spend as many hours as my wife and I would allow at the skatepark.”

When Ethan’s symptoms – things not unusual for a child his age – became more pronounced around Thanksgiving of 2010, his parents took him to see a physician who ordered an MRI, which provided a diagnosis of ALD. A few months later he underwent a stem cell transplant at Children’s Hospital and in May 2011, Ethan Zakes was gone.

“Once it has progressed to that point,” Brad said of the disease. “There was very little we could do.”

Even in the wake of an unimaginable family tragedy, the Zakes knew they wanted to ensure their son’s life, albeit brief, would have a lasting impact. After having gone

The battle of defending state champions went to the Knights, as coach Eric Bartleson’s squad picked up the win in the dual meet over the defending 3A state champions from Mercer Island.

Newport was led by a pair of wins from Jenny Huo, who picked up victories in the 200 individual medley and 100 meter breast stroke.

The Knights, which won a dual meet over the Islanders for the first time since 2000, got state qualifying times from Lorea Gwo in the 50 and 100 fly, Maggie Pana in the 200 and 500 free, Elisa Fang in the 100 free and 100 back and also from the 200 medley relay, 200 free relay and 400 free relay teams.

Newport continued an impressive early-season run in the pool, nearly doubling the score of KingCo foe Roosevelt in a 121-65 win.

Elisa Fang earned a state qualifying time in the 100 meter butterfly and the Knights also punched a ticket to state in the 200 free relay.

The Saints took three of the four singles matches and also picked up a pair of doubles wins to top 4A Woodinville, winning 5-2.

Connor Garnett returned to the singles court for Interlake against Mercer Island and picked up a straight set win over fellow state qualifier Brian Hou, but the Saints were unable to win any of the other six matches, falling 6-1 to the Islanders.

ever cared to about ALD. One thing that stuck out was the increased survival rate for those able to detect the disease in its early stages.

For most sufferers of ALD, which is genetic and affects only one in 18,000, the onset of symptoms such as clumsiness, inattentiveness and lack of focus comes after the disease has already progressed beyond treatment.

But if detected early enough through Amniocentesis, treatment is available. “The test is relatively straightforward,�

Zakes said. “It’s just a matter of having it done so in that rare occurrence where it is detected, it gives the family the opportunity to know shortly after birth.�

While early detection could not save their own son, the Zakes hope by raising money and more importantly awareness for the disease, Ethan’s loss can be a saving grace for another family. “As tragic and difficult as it was losing him, we felt the draw to make something good out of what was a horrific experience,� Brad said.

So shortly after their son’s death, Ethan’s parents created The Zakes Foundation, a nonprofit organization geared at increasing the frequency and volume of newborn screening for ALD. Next month, at the same Bellevue Skate Park where their son was once celebrated with a party through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the foundation will hold a skateboarding competition featuring local pros.

One of those is Sky Siljeg, a 19-year-old skater from Bothell who has been competing

Siljeg said he kept in touch with Ethan until his passing, talking about life as a pro skater, new tricks they wanted to try out and a future that would ultimately be cut too short. “Seeing him really reminded me of where I came from,� Siljeg said. Brad Zakes said few things would have made his son happier than a gathering of people equally passionate about skateboarding coming together through the sport. “He couldn’t have wanted anything more,� Brad said. “At the same time, we can raise money for this disease and raise awareness.�

Josh Suman: 425-453-5045; jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Neither Newport nor Woodinville has been tested in a close finish through the first two weeks of the season.

The Knights seem to have answered their questions at quarterback, beating South Kitsap 35-14 last week and now owning a combing 70-21 advantage over its opponents through the first two weeks.

Junior quarterback Jordan Sandberg has yet to complete a pass on the season, not unusual since he has attempted only three over the first two games, but that has mattered little as senior running back Conner Baumann and a host of other backs have toted the rock for a yards per carry average in the double digits.

Junior Nkumbu Chisebuka has 12 carries on the year for 170 yards and a score (14.17 per carry) while fellow junior Paul Wells is averaging nearly 13 yards per carry on the year and has scored a pair of rushing touchdowns.

The Falcons have also won a pair of lopsided games to open the year, first traveling to Alaska to pick up a win over Palmer before returning to Washington to take down Mariner 42-0.

Sammamish (0-2) @ Bellevue (2-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

Bellevue has looked every bit the part of a prohibitive state title favorite through the first two weeks of the year, dispatching a pair of 4A KingCo foes with relative ease.

The Wolverines suffered no letdown in last week’s matchup with Bothell, beating the Cougars 49-6 a week after taking care of two-time defending 4A state champ Skyline.

The Totems enter the game off a pair of losses, most recently a 43-14 loss at the hands of Franklin Pierce. The defense will face another challenge this week in an offense for the Wolverines that has looked dominant in two wins.

Interlake (0-2) vs. Liberty (1-1), Friday, 7 p.m.

The Saints are back at home for the third straight week and will look to get in the win column after dropping a pair of lopsided games to 4A foes.

Redmond and former coach Jason Rimkus ran away with a 55-7 win over the Saints last week, while the Patriots enter the game off a 28-7 win over Hazen. Liberty lost its season opener to Eastside Catholic.

Auditions set for 'Snowflake Lane'

Audition dates are set for The Bellevue Collection’s annual Snowflake Lane and Celebration Lane holiday outdoor nightly performances. "Snowflake Lane” Producer Greg Thompson is planning to expand the show with the addition of 60 new dancing performers to be known as the "Jingle Belles."

Two auditions will be held: 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22 at 6 p.m. for Jingle Belle Dance Performers; and noon Saturday, Oct. 19 for all other positions including drummers, SnowStorm, costumed characters, and stilt walkers.

"We are looking for female dancers, cheerleaders, dance team members, gymnasts, color guard and young girls who just love to dance and perform," said Thompson.

The "Igloo," the name for the audition space, is located at the west side of the skybridge between Lincoln Square and Bellevue Square in the space next to the new Cactus at Bellevue Square. Those auditioning should check in at 5:30 p.m.

Following the live audition, the Jingle Belles will be asked to learn basic choreography off of a video produced by award-

winning choreographer Mistinguett, a member of the Broadway Roundtable Hall of Fame. In November, live rehearsals will be held with the choreographer prior to Thanksgiving week.

This annual holiday tradition launched in 2005 and runs runs from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve and draws nightly crowds of nearly 10,000 people.

"Last year we added seven Jingle Belles to the “Snowflake Lane” cast of drummers, SnowStorm, stilt walkers, kings and queens, princesses and fairies, Jingelettes, reindeer, mice, penguins, polar bears and Frosty The Snowman," said Production Manager, Kristin Alessandroni. "The performers are mostly high school and college students who can make up to $1,000 for being part of the fun. The kids love performing and the crowds keep coming back year after year to join in the fun!"

The annual audition is a draw for both returning talent and new performers.

For more information on the audition please contact snowflakelane@yahoo.com and for Snowflake Lane go to http://www. bellevuecollection.com/SnowflakeLane/.

17 percent reduction in 2014.

“There is no area in King County that would be spared,” said Redmond Councilmember Kim Allen of the projected cuts.

Among those ideas supported in testimony was the ability for King County to levy its own fees to raise revenues for services like metro and roads. Gas taxes have been a more conten-

tious topic and the majority coalition had taken a strict stance against them, but some speakers spoke specifically in support of the hiked taxes.

“If the Bellevue City Council can get together on light rail, the state can get together on a transportation [package],” said Councilmember John Stokes of Bellevue to laughter.

“We must work together and we must act now,” said Dow Constantine, King County Executive, one of many who spoke during the more than two hours of public comment.

This summer the Senate Majority Coalition Caucus killed a package that included a 10.5 cent per gallon gas tax increase, despite its passage in the House.

“With all due respect,” said Katie Wilson of the Transit Riders Union, “it was irresponsible for you to not pass a transit option [earlier].”

Congestion, completion of current projects and fears about Metro Transit service cuts were reoccurring themes throughout. Several speakers also noted the importance of finding funding for Washington’s ferry system, which one resident urged the crowd to think of as its own freeway system – and its only connection to the rest of the state.

On Metro cuts, many urged leaders to find a long-term stable funding source for bus services, which could face a

Cascade is Updating its Water Efficiency Goals:

Your Input is Important!

Cascade currently provides drinking water to 350,000 residents and 20,000 businesses in member areas of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, Tukwila and the Sammamish Plateau and Skyway Water and Sewer Districts.

Setting and meeting a goal for wise water use helps ensure a reliable water supply, keeps costs lower to ratepayers and allows more water to stay in streams. Wise water use today helps ensure future water reliability.

During the past 10 years, residents who used water wisely helped save millions of gallons of water regionally.

$

Cascade Wise Water Use Survey There are many factors that affect the current costs of providing drinking water such as energy, construction, and infrastructure replacement. But together we can reduce the long-term cost of providing water by using water wisely today. Please take a moment to answer the following questions to help in our planning efforts.

Thank you!

1.

Are you willing to use water more efficiently now to ensure a reliable water supply for the future?

Yes No Comments:

2.

How often do you water your lawn in the summer?

Your input is important! Cascade is asking for your help in setting water efficiency goals and determining how we can provide the water efficiency services that will help you save the most amount of water.

3.

Would you be willing to practice natural yard care (less grass, more hardy plants and shrubs, fewer chemical treatments) if you knew how?

Yes No Comments:

Use the form to the right or go to www.cascadewater.org now to take a quick survey and help us help you save water today….and tomorrow.

4.

If you have an automatic, in-ground sprinkler system, is it equipped with a rain shut-off device?

Yes No Comments:

5.

A typical household uses 200 – 300 gallons of water per day. If you could save up to 30 gallons per day by replacing old toilets and appliances, fixing leaks and carefully watering outdoors, would you do it?

Yes No Comments:

6.

When you’re in the market for new water-related appliances, like a toilet, clothes washer, or dishwasher, do you look for the WaterSense or Energy Star labels that indicate water use efficiency?

Yes No Comments:

7.

Do you think the drinking water you get from your tap is a good value?

Yes No Comments:

8.

If you make decisions for a business, are you willing to undertake actions that could reduce your business’s water use by five to 10 percent?

Yes No Comments:
