Dallas-based real estate company Trammell Crow purchased a 1.5-acre site in downtown Bellevue for $24.1 million Tuesday. The site, located at 833 108th Ave. NE, is part of what is known as Washington Square, where Wasatch Properties built two condo towers. Plans include a 19-story office building, expected to break ground in April. Trammell Crow partnered with Principal Real Estate Investors of Des Moines, Iowa, on what will be a 462,000 square-foot office building, within a block of the Bellevue Transit Center. “The inventory of large, contiguous blocks of space is very limited and our new development is timed to meet the projected job growth,” said Craig Dobbs, senior vice president with Trammell Crow's Seattle business unit, in a statement. The building will feature street-level retail along 108th Avenue and a twostory lobby. “As the supply continues to decrease in our other Bellevue investments and demand ramps up, the delivery of this building is well positioned,” said Jay Fisher, assistant managing

LMN Architects of Seattle will design the tower; CBRE will handle leasing. Trammell Crow also has recently re-entered the Seattle market, opening an office in October of last year, after the economic downturn closed 30 years of operations in 2008. In January the company purchased a biotech research facility on First Hill.

Earlier this month, garbage collection company CleanScapes lost a proposed contract to Republic Services, Bellevue’s current garbage hauler. Now the company, which was the lower of the two bidders, is asking the city to reconsider. “Ultimately, there was a process that was laid out and that CleanScapes followed and scored highest on, but that was disregarded,” said Kevin Kelly, a spokesperson for the company. A letter submitted by CleanScapes’ attorney James Greenfield, to city attorney Lori Riordan called the decision “arbitrary” and “contrary to law.” CleanScapes claims they not only scored better than their competitor, but offer cheaper service. Republic Services’ price tag for the seven years of service came to $19.8 million, compared to CleanScapes’ $17.9 million. Two councilmembers recused themselves from a vote—Kevin Wallace and John Chelminiak because of past business relationships with individuals from Republic Services. The five who did vote— Claudia Balducci, Mayor Conrad Lee, Don Davidson and Jennifer Robertson—did so unanimously. “When I read through the contract to find that staff recommended CleanScapes be awarded the contract,” said Bellevue resident and former business owner Eleanor Schroeder, addressing city council on Sept. 16, “CleanScapes in every way scored higher and in addition was less expensive for us, the taxpayer. However, for some strange reason, and I don’t understand, you all made the unanimous decision to award it to Republic Services.” Republic Services has contracted with the city for more

Sierra Dwelle with a $3,000 check Tuesday to help fund the domestic violence voucher program. The Salvation Army uses the voucher program to place domestic violence victims in hotels temporarily following an incident. Vouchers are issued by Bellevue officers to clients and the Salvation Army reimburses the cost of the hotels. Between their three offices in Bellevue, Seattle and Edmonds, Brewer says they donate about $12,000 to social service agencies in need, which comes from a combined portion of their commissions.

Former police chief to speak at LifeWire event Author and former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper will deliver the keynote address at LifeWire’s annual Hope Starts Here Breakfast on Thursday at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center. Susannah Frame of KING 5 News and former Attorney General Rob McKenna also will participate. Stamper will discuss his life as an officer, the challenges law enforcement face in domestic violence situations, and how to make sure that those affected have help. “Throughout my cop career I championed the cause of domestic violence as law enforcement's top priority – ahead of homicide, robbery, even domestic terrorism," Stamper said. "Why? Because violence in the home (spousal assault, child and elder abuse) is arguably the

antecedent for all other forms of violence in our society.” LifeWire success story, university student and victim’s right advocate, Kahley, will share her story. LifeWire will be honoring Brinette Rounds and Oak Street Law Group, PLLC as Corporate Partner of the Year. Rounds, a LifeWire board member, has helped LifeWire assist thousands of victims of domestic violence. LifeWire also will be honoring Berntson Porter & Company, PLLC as Volunteer Team of the Year for their volunteer work helping the families and children at LifeWire. LifeWire is the largest provider of comprehensive domestic violence services and confidential shelter in Washington state. More information is available at 425-5628840.

Still Life

Finally, a time to be boring

hose of us over age 50 can finally feel good about being boring. When reflecting on the past, it’s easy to remember the excitement that accompanied turning points in my life. Starting with kindergarten and going all the way to retirement, nothing was boring except the last few weeks of summer vacations as a kid. Most of us my age looked forward to these milestones. They added zest to our lives. But now I’ve reached the point where I’m less Ann Oxrieder excited about future turning points. I want to enjoy the present — just as it is. I’m not opposed to new experiences, though death as a new experience isn’t that appealing. According to a 2009 Scientific American article, “Set in Our Ways, Why Change is So Hard,” we’re most open to new experiences in our twenties. Our enthusiasm for exposure to the unfamiliar declines gradually until we hit 60. My wanting stability at this stage in my

www.bellevuereporter.com life is not unique to me. In “How happiness changes with age, becoming okay with being boring,” (The Atlantic, May 2013) author Heidi Grant Halvorson says we define happiness in more mellow terms as we get older. We change from operating out of a “promotion motivation – seeing our goals in terms of what we can gain, or how we can end up better off, to a prevention motivation — seeing our goals in terms of avoiding loss and keeping things running smoothly.” Yes. A smooth-running life sounds just right. The conclusion that our definition of happiness evolves over time comes as a result of the work of three social psychologists who analyzed 12 million personal blogs from writers of different ages. (Sounds like a fun job.) To describe their anticipation of future pleasures, younger bloggers used words such as “excited, ecstatic, elated.” Older bloggers were more likely to describe happiness as “peaceful, calm, relaxed, or relieved.” I’m on the same page as the older bloggers. These days happiness for my husband and me is going to Costco on a weekday morning instead of a weekend afternoon. Or watching the blue jays and squirrels fight over the suet feeder in the back yard. Or just getting a good night’s sleep. Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http:// stillalife.wordpress.com/.

EDITORIAL

Time to end the government shutdown

resident Obama made the right decision Wednesday to invite Republican and Democratic congressional leaders to the White House to try and bring an end to the shutdown of many government services. This mess never should have happened in the first place. Blame some House Republicans for using the shutdown tactic in order to delay – or, what they really want, to kill – the Affordable Health Care Act. Their actions are a disservice to the American public. Like it or hate it, the act meets a need too long ignored in our country – giving people, especially poor people, access to health care when they are sick or injured. Yes, we know that those without access to their own physician can show up at a hospital emergency room and have their condition stabilized. But that’s a lousy – and expensive – way to deliver health care. Perhaps these House Republicans don’t care about this. After all, they have a health care plan and the government – that means taxpayers – pays for most of the premiums. Or maybe they feel that the poor should have better managed their minimum-wage income to pay for that expensive diagnostic test that might find and cure a terminal cancer in time. Will House Republicans next target Medicare? How about Social Security? After all, shouldn’t everyone be managing their stock portfolios and million-dollar pay to take care of these future needs? Why should taxpayers be dinged to keep older Americans healthy or from being destitute in their final years? The Affordable Health Care Act will be an added expense for many Americans. But the good it does goes behind mere dollars and cents. Access to health care may not seem like a big deal – until you have a medical condition that that not only is behind your financial means, but also precludes you from even getting it because of a pre-existing condition. Thankfully, those days are coming to an end. And so, too, should the unseemly conduct of a few House Republicans. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

The Petri Dish

Shutdown sees plea to open wallets

othing feeds a politician’s campaign coffers quite like a good partisan fight. So it’s no surprise Democratic and Republican members of Congress across the country and here in Washington seized on Monday’s showdown then shutdown to raise campaign cash. “Leadership is a privilege that House Republicans have done little to earn,” began an earnest email sent out by Democratic Congressman Rep. Rick Larsen of Everett. “This lack of leadership is about to result in a government shutdown.” A few paragraphs later he concludes by asking for “$5, $10 or $25 to show Jerry Cornfield the House Republicans that we’re fed up with their games and distractions. Stand with me, and let the majority party know that they need to earn the privilege of leadership.” Fundraisers for Democratic Rep. Suzan DelBene of Medina struck a more strident note with the freshman congresswoman’s donors. “You’ve seen how Tea Party Republicans are willing to shut down the government and threaten the full faith and credit of the United States to try to get their way — we can’t afford to give them a chance in our state,” reads her email. “We need your help right now to ensure Suzan’s seat stays out of Tea Party hands.”

Question of the week:

“Do you have health insurance? ”

As they and other members of Congress tried to cash in on the political brawl, a leader of Common Cause urged them to stand down. “One would hope that every member would be so embarrassed by this breakdown that they would voluntarily suspend fundraising,” said Karen Hobert Flynn, senior vice president for strategy and programs for the nonpartisan political reform group. Neither Larsen nor DelBene is facing a challenger in 2014. At least not yet. ■■■ Prospects of lawmakers passing a transportation funding package in a special session next month are dimming rapidly. Republican senators are in no hurry to act on a $10 billion proposal put forth by Democrats and they haven’t been for some time. It’s not what’s in it per se, though most members of the Senate Majority Coalition shudder at the inclusion of a 10.5-cent per gallon increase in the gas tax. It’s what’s missing: all of the 10 reforms of state transportation policy offered up by the coalition this summer. Unless and until some of those proposed changes find their way into the proposal, they won’t be in the mood to pursue, let alone forge an agreement.

Slatter has what we need in Bellevue

“We’ve got to have some of these reforms,” said Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, the coalition’s point-man on transportation. “Not all 10 but at least three or four of them. If we don’t get a substantial number of the reforms we won’t have agreement on a revenue package because we won’t have enough votes to get it out of our caucus.” King singled out three: streamlining the permit process including rolling back state-imposed rules on environmental protection, which exceed federal requirements; revamping the way the state builds ferries and allowing companies outside of Washington to build them; and redirecting sales tax collected on construction projects from the state’s general fund into transportation. None of these are new issues for lawmakers, yet there

Janet Nelson, Bellevue

Traffic too fast on Bellevue Way I am a senior at Newport High school and live in the Enatai neighborhood. I'm concerned that Bellevue Way has become a freeway on ramp. People drive from downtown Bellevue to I-90 on Bellevue Way because Interstate 405 is too congested. This creates an issue for local residents because there is too much traffic. I propose Bellevue Way be reconstructed with medians that allow less traffic through so that people use the freeway. Another simple solution could be raising the speed limit to get traffic through faster. On a side note, I think closing Bellevue Way during Snowflake Lane would make it a much more enjoyable experience.

have been few serious conversations on incorporating them into a final deal. Part of the reason is King and his caucus colleagues are busy traveling the state to solicit opinions on raising revenue and making reforms. Their listening tour wraps up later this month. King makes no predictions about what will happen afterwards, though he sounds skeptical. “We are trying to move this forward. We are trying to gather information and come up with a package that has the buy-in from the public,” King said. “It is going to be tough but there’s a chance.” Jerry Cornfield is a political reporter who covers Olympia for The Daily Herald in Everett, which is among the Washington state newspapers in the Sound Publishing group.

Grocery stores, union to return to bargaining table A day after grocery store workers voted to strike over failed union negotiations, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 21 announced Allied Employers plans to return to the bargaining table. Tom Geiger, UFCW 21 spokesman, said union leaders and employers will meet Oct.10-11 to continue negotiating for a new contract. He added it was too soon to say whether a 98-percent vote to strike by employees at Albertson's, Fred Meyer, QFC and Safeway grocery stores expedited a return to the table. Labor negotiations for the supermarkets is being handled by Allied Employers. "Our expectation is they will come to the table with a set of serious proposals," said Geiger. "Often these things are long-lasting days." At the heart of the issue is employee insurance, which the retail stores have to provide to all workers as long as they put

in at least 30 hours per week under the Affordable Care Act. Allied Employers had proposed adhering to those conditions, which would require grocery employees lacking the required number of hours to seek their own insurance through a health insurance exchange, said Scott Powers, vice president and lead negotiator for the supermarkets. "We'll continue our discussions," he said. "With all employers, the Affordable Care Act is affecting how we deliver health care to our employees." Geiger said if grocery store workers accepted the proposal, it would disqualify 8,000 workers from keeping or acquiring a health plan through their employers. He added there would also be no guarantee supermarkets wouldn't reduce hours for employees below the threshold for employer-provided insurance. Also on the bargaining table are issues of

Bellevue firefighters to hold open houses The Bellevue Fire Department will celebrate Fire Prevention Week with its popular open houses on Saturday. As usual during the annual kickoff event to national Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 6-12), all nine Bellevue fire stations will be open to the public 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. During Fire Prevention Week, firefighters also will visit schools and do readings at libraries. The following stations will feature refreshments and special activities: Station 1 (766 Bellevue Way SE, Downtown/West Bellevue); Station 2 (2802 148th Ave. SE, Eastgate/Lake Hills/

employee wages, evening and holiday pay, paid sick leave and pensions. Following last week's strike vote, Geiger said no date had been set for when a strike would occur, and plans to strike are on hold now that a timeline to renegotiate has been set. "I don't know if it's good news or not," said Suzanne Ray of the return to the bargaining table. A meat manager at QFC in Bellevue, who has worked in that department for more than 20 years, she said her company is already hiring replacements ahead of an uncertain strike. "We're all hopeful for good news, but I'm not going to say it's good news." Ray said she'd prefer her benefits remain the same rather than see them reduced, adding there is a perspective that jobs in supermarkets are starting positions for young adults. “This has been a career choice, and it's

West Lake Sammamish); Station 3 (16100 NE Eighth St., Crossroads/Northeast Bellevue); Station 5 (9621 NE 24th St., Clyde Hill); Station 8 (5701 Lakemont Blvd. SE, Eastgate/Cougar Mountain); and Station 9 (12412 Newcastle Way, Newcastle/Newport Hills). A number of activities also are scheduled at the fire stations. n Stove-top fire road show (Stations 1, 2, 3, 9): Firefighters and fire prevention officers will stop by the four stations and provide a realistic stove-top fire display and demonstrate how to extinguish the fires. n Accessible activities (Station 2): Students in the Occupational Life Skills program at Bellevue College will be on hand to help facilitate activities that are accessible to people with disabilities. The students and others will be available to answer questions about special accommodations.

sad to know that we all work for these multibillion (dollar) companies that have also chosen to take the route that they've chosen,” she said. “To lose our health care, that's ridiculous. They're using Obamacare as a tactic.” QFC has already started cutting employee hours, Ray said, and she lives with the uncertainty when her hours may change, how many employees she will have working on her shift or who will show up sick for fear of being admonished for calling in. "We are very limited as (union) members as to what's going on in negotiations," said Ray, who volunteers to educate others about their union rights. "We need to let the process happen. I just hope they show up, because we've had occasions happen where the employers don't even show up." Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

n Child safety house trailer (Station 3): Children can learn about kitchen and home fire safety and awareness by sitting inside a special trailer and experiencing a room filling with non-toxic smoke (the smoke machines use peanut oil). n Fire extinguisher demonstrations (all stations): Each of the featured stations will have several fire extinguishers available for both adults and children to handle. No need for gear; these fires are of the painted-wood variety. n Try on firefighter gear (Stations 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9): Have you ever wanted to know what it feels like to put on the helmet, coat and other "bunker" gear firefighters wear when battling a blaze? Each featured station will have several sets of real bunker gear for adults and children to try on. n SWAT vehicle (Stations 1, 2, 3): Meet Bellevue Police SWAT officers and see the their Bear Cat armored vehicle as it travels to three stations.

YWCA Here are some things you may not know about the YWCA of Seattle and King and Snohomish Counties. • It’s one of the largest providers of emergency shelter in the Northwest. • It operates a food bank that serves over 1000 people a month. • It helps struggling families to stay in their homes and helps others find housing. • It helps prepare people for careers in banking and business and information technology. • It helps older people find work. • It supports mental health counseling. • It supports domestic abuse programs. These examples are just a small sample of a large variety of programs our local YWCA supports as part of its mission to “advance the quality of life for women of all ages, races and faiths, and their families.” The YWCA has five major program areas in which it tools, support and ongoing services for women and families so that they can live productive, independent lives.

Those five areas are housing, emergency, employment, health and youth. Within each of those areas there are multiple programs that address various needs and issues of the YWCA’s client population. For instance, in the employment category there are programs that help women • to prepare for and find careers in the banking industry, • with job search, training and placement services, • with on-the-job training at a government or non-profit agency, • maintain financial self-sufficiency through education, assistance and training • who are older or veterans find employment • dress appropriately for interviews or new jobs.

Men are also included in some of these programs such as Pathways to Work, a program that offers classes to women and

men in Snohomish County designed to help them get back to work. Helping families is a major focus of many of the YWCA’s efforts. That help includes getting mental health counseling for individuals, helping homeless families find temporary or permanent shelter, helping single moms get back to work, providing child care for young children, ages 1 – 5, encouraging leadership and confidence skills in young women, offering employment and education opportunities to teens and young adults, and more.

Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month Self-exam, mammograms are necessary in ﬁght against breast cancer By Shawna Files My story is, unfortunately, not unique. In 2008, at age 37, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was shocking. I had no experience with cancer, and no family history. I thought, because I am young, I will just battle through it. But the surprise is that breast cancer is even more aggressive with young women. My first thought was my family, especially my boys (five and nine at the time) without their mother. I remember being afraid that no one could love them as much as their mom. I had to fight! Treatment consisted of mastectomy, chemo, radiation, hysterectomy and reconstruction over several months. I had to learn to navigate in an entirely new world. It was scary and a couple of times I found myself crying in my car on the way to work so no one would see my fear. Luckily, I had a supportive network of family, friends, co-workers and doctors. My family and friends really stepped in and helped. They cooked delicious and healthy meals for me every day. They helped me to stay brave, get through my hard times and emerge as a survivor.

When I felt up to getting out, I decided to participate in the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure. My friends were right there alongside me. It was inspiring to be a part of such a large, supportive community. I am truly grateful for every day. I am also thankful that I caught my breast cancer early. I found a lump when I was showering. It came out of nowhere. Of course, you don’t believe it. I thought: I will just wait, and it will go away. Luckily, one of my friends was a nurse and she said: “oh no, you have to go right in and have this checked out.” This is why I tell all women: What they say is true; you have to be your own health advocate. You have to take care of yourself and make sure you are on top of your own healthcare. Do a self-exam, have your mammograms. Breast cancer happens quickly. I feel much sadness for those who have lost the battle. We need to figure out why this is happening to so many women. My hope is that we can eradicate breast cancer during my lifetime. My story should be unique!

Ozen wins prize at fashion show BY ROSE DENNIS SPECIAL TO THE BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Fashion Week opened on Sept. 25th with a fashion show that showcased 11 local and emerging Northwest fashion designers. The Bellevue Collection, in partnership with Fashion Group International, hosted this second annual Independent Designer Runway Show at the Bellevue Hyatt. Thirty-seven designers applied for the prize, and only 11 designers were selected. They all spent several months fine-tuning their runway collections under the mentorship of stylists, buyers and editors before showing their new collections during Fashion Week. The 11 participants were: Benu Cashmere by Claire Kim; Corban Harper by Corban Harper; Erin Roby by Erin Roby; Lastwear by Rowan Rhys; Lia Pal by Liuba Palanciuc; Michael Cepress by Michael Cepress; Ozen Company by Aykut Ozen; Paychi Guh by Paychi Karen Guh; Sarsen by Heather Blanchard; Trina Pierre by Tian Pierre; and Wyatt Orr by Liise Wyatt and Karly.

Ozen of the Ozen Company (www.ozencompany.com) was selected as the grand prize winner. His brand of handmade leather goods are created on the promise of “durability, functionality and originality” fit the judge’s criteria of creativity, craftsmanship and passion. Ozen is inspired by 1930’s classic work wear and 1960s and 1970s rock 'n’ roll fashion. His handcrafted designs include ready-to-wear, accessories, and custom-order leather jackets for both men and women. Aykut said his company’s brand mission “is to create quality craftsmanship and timeless designs that withstand generations to come.” His prize includes a $5,000 cash prize to assist him in building his growing business and a month-long display in Bellevue Square, where more than a million guests visit per month.

Newport on the rebound

(Left to right) Sisters Julia and Jacqueline Regalia, along with Isabelle and Melissa Long, give the Interlake volleyball team a distinct family feel. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter

Family in front for Saints BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

From youth leagues to the pros, regardless of the sport, coaches go to great lengths to create a “family atmosphere” around their teams and programs. For Interlake volleyball coach Melissa Brodsky, it has come without much prompting. This group of Saints was already close after losing a deep class of seniors from last year’s squad and finding themselves holding down increased roles. But with two pairs of sisters on the team, family has become impossible for Interlake to ignore. “It is like a sisterhood,” said ‘Mama Brodsky,’ as her players affectionately call her. “It is so important to have that relationship off the court so you know you can trust each other on the court.” Seniors Jacqueline Regalia and Isabelle Long and juniors Julia Regalia and Melissa Long all start for Brodsky and the two pairs of sisters have spent the past two years piling up stats, making a push for the playoffs and most importantly, enjoying the experi-

ence of competing with a sibling. “It is huge, just because they are sisters and know each other so well,” Brodsky said of the on-court chemistry between the duos. “They just know how to respond to each other.” The Regalia Sisters are the more introspective of the two pairs, according to their coach. Setter Julia plays the role of the ever-smiling enthusiast while elder-sister Jacqueline brings the intensity as one of the team’s core leaders and most talented players. The two said they each began playing volleyball in elementary school, but first found themselves sharing a court as club players and then with the Interlake varsity for the past two seasons. “It’s really nice to share that competitiveness with your sibling,” Jacqueline said. “When she does something right and I do something right and it comes together, we know we both helped each other.”

Newport (3-1, 0-1) VS. Ballard (2-2, 1-0), 7 p.m. Friday

Interlake (0-4, 0-1) VS. Mercer Island (2-1, 1-0), 7 p.m. Friday

A pair of standout performances from Issaquah quarterback Jack Neary and running back Jack Gellatly helped the Eagles to a lopsided win over Newport last week, 48-28 in the Knights’ first setback of the season. Ballard, which enters the game off a pair of wins over Garfield and Kennedy, will make the trip across Lake Washington as Newport tries to even its Crown Division record.

The Saints enter the game off a pair of shutout losses, most recently a 34-0 setback at the hands of Mount Si, and still have found the end zone only once through four games in 2013 in a 55-7 loss to Redmond. Mercer Island survived an early test from Sammamish to beat the Totems 52-19 last week after taking care of Lake Washington 34-3 the week prior. The same group of Mustangs that beat the Saints in week two hung on to top the Islanders 28-20 in the season opener.

Bellevue (4-0, 2-0) @ Juanita (3-1, 1-1), 7 p.m. Sammamish (0-4, 0-2) @ Mount Si (4-0, 2-0), Friday 7 p.m. Friday The Wolverines continued to roll last week, moving up in the MaxPreps.com national rankings by controlling their second consecutive Class 2A foe in Lake Washington with a 41-7 win. The touchdown was only the third allowed all season by Bellevue. The game is scheduled to be broadcast live on the radio on Alternative Talk 1150 AM, with pregame at 6:45 p.m.

Sammamish hung tough with the Islanders and even had a lead during the first half, but were ultimately overcome by a wave of second half turnovers and touchdowns in the loss. Mount Si, meanwhile, has again looked the part of conference contender, sporting a perfect record, including a victory over 4A Issaquah.

Bellevue’s Harber tested among nation’s best at national camp BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

When Joanna “Jojo” Harber helped her Eastside FC select soccer team to the U14 National Championship during the summer, winning the Golden Ball trophy in the process for leading the tournament in scoring, it was a crowning achievement in her young career. Little did she know less than three months later, she would receive an even bigger honor for her on-field exploits. Harber was one of only 36 girls ages 14 and under selected by US Soccer to participate in its Girls National Team Camp in California. The program, developed and operated by US Soccer as part of its mission to identify and develop top-shelf talent for its national squads, offered a chance to compete with and against the top players in her age group from around the country and gain familiarity with National Team coaches and processes. “I was so excited,” Harber said. “I knew it was a great opportunity.” Campers trained with U14 Girls National Team head coach April Kater and staffers from US Soccer for a week at the national training center in Carson, Calif. and spent time on the field, in meeting rooms and learning about every aspect of competing for the United States in international soccer competition. Harber was spotted by Kater during a pair of tournaments during the spring and summer, offering the opportunity to get an inside look at what it takes to compete at the highest level. “I was kind of worried going into it,” Harber said. “But I played to my full potential and found I really did fit in.” The camp was far from the first time Harber found herself among elite players and the Bellevue High School freshman said she will now turn her attention to the prep team. In addition to her time with the Eastside FC squad that brought home a National Title, Harber has also played with Elite Player Development teams and Olympic Development teams. She said the experience of camping with the

Bellevue boys win three more in pool, stay perfect Bellevue picked up three more wins in boys water polo, beating Shorewood, Auburn-Mountainview and Mercer Island to keep their record perfect in 2013. Nine players scored for the Wolverines in the win over Shorewood while senior goalkeeper Diego Acevedo kept the Thunderbirds from mounting any serious threats on offense in a 22-3 win. Bellevue backed that effort with an 18-15 victory over Auburn-Mountainview after being tied 6-6 at the half. George French scored a school-record tying 11 goals to

The Longs have been helping each other pick up big points and win matches for many years, only on a different court. Both are accomplished tennis players, with Isabelle reaching the state tournament in all three of her seasons as a prep thus far and Melissa taking a spot in the number one doubles pair for the Saints last season. Before the fall season began in prep sports, Isabelle reached the round of 16 at the 18 & Under USTA Junior Sectional Championships in Oregon and both have a chance to continue playing past their days as Saints. They got their first taste of playing on the same side of a net as elementary schoolers, taking the trip across the Cascades to play in a doubles tournament in a higher age bracket. “We really bonded,” Melissa said of that early experience, adding they had plenty of success, even against older girls. “She’s really the one person who will tell me what I’m doing wrong.” Brodsky backed up that assertion and said the Longs’ ability to hold one another accountable and exert leadership on the floor has carried over to the rest of the team. When the two were unable to play in a match against Bellevue, their absence was noticeable both on the stat sheet and in the atmosphere around the team. “They are competitive athletes and that is what I love about them,” Brodsky said. “They are loud and strong girls and they know how to get after each other.” Isabelle said they first played volleyball together last year on the Interlake varsity and immediately felt a synergy on the floor. “We were playing the same position,” she said. “We were like one person mixed together.” All four sisters, along with their coach, said the hope is to use the positive vibes from the chemistry among the team to make another push to the playoffs, a challenge that only grew last year with the return to Class 3A. The Saints made the state tournament in Class 2A in 2010 and 2011, but have not made the trip in 3A since 1999. But that is doing little to dampen the enthusiasm of a team that has already upset Mount Si, becoming the first KingCo team other than Mercer Island to hand the Wildcats a conference loss in Brodsky’s four years as coach. “I’m so excited, because I know this team has great potential,” Isabelle said. “It will be cool with her beside me.” rival Mercer Island, and again it was French leading the way on offense with four goals. Freshman Cameron Hayes also found the net four times, while junior Marco Stanchi added three goals of his own in the win 16-14 win over the Islanders.

Former Bellevue teacher appealing termination for being drunk at school BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A former Chinook Middle School teacher terminated from his position in April for being drunk at work is appealing the decision by a hearing officer that upheld the Bellevue School District's action. Erik Schock was a physical education teacher at the middle school for 11 years prior to Feb. 11, when he came to work highly intoxicated, according to a findings of fact included in the

final decision by hearing officer Terry Lukens. Schock's strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech caught the attention of Andrea Pfeifer, assistant principal at CMS, who reported the P.E. teacher to human resources. Schock stated he'd only consumed three beers the night before, but his blood alcohol level tested at .053 and .046 when he submitted to two rounds of alcohol testing around 2 p.m. Feb. 11. A clinical toxicologist

determined Schock's BAL was .14 to .15 when he arrived to school around 7:30 a.m. that day. He was sent home and placed on administrative leave the next day for violating district policy. During a meeting with school district representatives on March 5, Schock retracted his previous statement, admitting to drinking nine beers on the night of Feb. 10. He received a probable cause letter justifying his termination on April 3.

Lukens determined on Aug. 27 that the school district's termination of Schock was appropriate based on his being intoxicated while performing his job, which put impressionable middle-schoolers at a higher risk of injury because of his role as a physical education teacher and lunch supervisor. "It is highly likely that students observed his high level of intoxication, slurred speech and watery eyes," Lukens wrote in his deci-

sion. "The potential adverse impact is significant, particularly considering that Mr. Schock was responsible for children engaged in physical education with a much higher potential for injury if not properly supervised." Lukens also took Schock's dishonesty about his alcohol consumption when making his decision. He also stated a lack of medical evidence diagnosing the former teacher as having a substance abuse problem or showing he

sought treatment led him to conclude Schock's attempt at sobriety would likely not be successful. Schock, who argued he is an alcoholic and that his conduct was not "flagrant misconduct" that would provide sufficient cause for his termination, filed an appeal of Lukens's decision on Sept. 20. He also claimed the district should have offered counseling for his alcoholism rather than firing him. A tentative trial date has been set for April 21. The Bellevue School District does not comment on pending litigation, said Sara Schwartz, district communications manager. Schock's attorney, Tyler Firkins, could not be reached for comment.

Farm Fair to provide bounty of fall fun The 31st annual Kelsey Creek Farm Fair on Saturday, Oct. 12, will provide an opportunity for youth and adults to celebrate the season at historic Kelsey Creek Farm. The event, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will include tractor-pulled wagon rides by NW Vintage Tractor Clubs, heritage demonstrations by the Eastside Heritage Center, and live entertainment by Cowboy Buck, along with pumpkin decorating, barnyard animals, pony rides and inflatables. Admission is free, though costs vary for some activities. Free parking and free shuttles will run from Bannerwood Sports Park, 1630 132nd Ave. S.E. and the Wilburton park-andride, 720 114th Ave. S.E. to Kelsey Creek Farm, 410 130th Place S.E. The last shuttle from the event will depart the farm at 4:15 to return to the parking sites. Kelsey Creek Farm’s history as a farm dates back to 1921 when tree stumpcovered land was cleared for what became a popular local family-operated dairy called Twin Valley Farm. The city of Bellevue began purchasing the land for Kelsey Creek Farm in 1968, and the park opened in 1972. The Farm Fair event began as “Holiday Farm Fair” in the early 1980s .

Two named to arts commission Appointments mark changing social fabric of Bellevue

Services at Puget Sound Energy, were appointed to the Bellevue Arts Commission. The additions will not only mean new leaders for the arts in Bellevue, but also an injection of diversity into a city rapidly changing its demographic. “If the city is changing, the art needs to be incorporated,” said Ludeña. The commission composed of seven members, oversees citywide projects, manages a related budget and develops long-range plans for art and culture in Bellevue. Projects include the Cultural Compass, public art around the East Link alignment and other

neighborhood ventures. “Bellevue’s art scene is already very strong in a

variety of areas from the visual arts to the performing arts,” said Malkin, who counts photography among his creative process. Most recently he’s served as an associate for ArtsFund of King and Pierce County. “I think additional support will occur organically with the development of new livework environments now being planned.” He points to the Bel-Red corridor, with pending projects like East Link and the Spring District, and a particular emphasis on cultivating the arts, an initiative he says will naturally lead to more galleries, affordable housing for artists and other opportunities. “Art can sometimes be an elite,” Ludeña noted. Born in Lima, Peru, he moved to the U.S. at the age of 18 and has called Factoria home for the last six years.

“That’s exactly what I don’t want for Bellevue. If all the artists in Seattle try to move to Bellevue, it’s like trying to move that tree,” he said, gesturing, “to another city and seeing if it will grow the same. I think there are people in Bellevue [who have been] waiting for the opportunity long enough.” Ludeña, who said he came across photography almost accidentally, has spent a good portion of his career trying to lower the barrier to entry for other immigrant artists. He mentored youth, teaching photography in the South Park Photo Voice Project and at one point published a Latino cultural magazine. Bellevue might seem like an unlikely place for Ludeña’s subjects, but he says much of the construction done in downtown Bellevue is done by Latino men and Eastside neighborhoods are quickly becoming diversified. Families want a photographer who speaks their language, or see his posting in Latino phonebooks. And while Ludeña’s body of work has since splintered off into other projects and nationalities, each assignment is grounded in celebration – Quinceañeras, weddings and folk events. “Photography is a way of preserving a culture, whether it be a traditional culture or a modern one, a culture handed down through generations,” reads his website. “I hope my art will leave indelible images upon the viewers’ minds and that my photographs have expressed my feelings of reverence for and dedication to the community.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290 ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com

What’s happening in the world of art

Latino film festival coming to city The city of Bellevue will partner with the Seattle Latino Film Festival to bring the event to Bellevue and the Eastside – through Bellevue Television and a first-ever screening in Bellevue. On Monday, Bellevue Television (BTV Comcast channel 21) will present “74 Square Meters,” a film that profiles marginalized families from Chile who are chosen to participate in a social experiment that places them into a middle-class neighborhood where two worlds collide. On Friday, Oct. 11, the Bellevue Youth Theatre will host showings of two additional films: ■ End of the World (Um fim do Mundo) at 6 p.m. The story portrays the daily lives of young people living in Lisbon whose stories unfold in unpredictable fashion, with improvisations and open-ended storytelling. ■ The Battle (La Batalla| 5 de Mayo) at 7:20 p.m.— An epic and emotional history of the events leading up to the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when the small, poorly equipped Mexican army stunned its French occupiers with a decisive victory. Tickets are $8-$12 and are available at Brown Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/472531. The 2013 Seattle Latino Film Festival runs Oct. 4-13. For more information, including a complete schedule of local events, visit www.slff.org/.

New show at Ryan James Gallery “Living Lines,” a gallery show by artist Charlotte Dean, is at the Ryan James Gallery in Kirkland. Dean is a visual artist and writer who has traveled all over the world studying art. Originally from Los Angeles, she now resides in Seattle. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Summa Cum Laude from Cornish College of the Arts in 2012 and has had her work showcased in galleries in Seattle, Los Angeles and Mexico City. The show continues through Oct. 8. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. Sunday; and Monday and Wednesday by appointment. The gallery is located at 11905 124th Ave. NE.

‘Anything Goes’ coming Oct. 15 Anything Goes, the recent Broadway revival of Cole Porter’s classic musical, will make its Seattle premiere at The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle Oct. 15 through Nov. 3. Winner of the 2011 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, it features “You’re the Top,” “Friendship,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “It’s De-Lovely,” “Blow, Gabriel, Blow” and, of course, “Anything Goes.” In the plot, when the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good oldfashioned blackmail. Single tickets start at $29 and are available through the box office at 206-625-1900.

Hugo Ludeña likes to think his pictures don’t just seize a moment; in a single frame they capture a feeling, a culture and a community. In one, a young Latino couple dressed for a quinceañera, pauses among the ramshackle surroundings of a trailer park. In another, newlyweds uncork a champagne bottle, their faces contorted as they dodge the fountain of foam. “My photography focuses on celebration, festivities, families, weddings and places where I can find stories or traditions,” said Ludeña, perhaps best known for his documentation of Latino culture. “Sometimes I ask my subjects their life story. In that moment, they get lost and that’s what I capture – your inside. In that moment, you aren’t posing, you’re feeling.” Earlier this month, Ludeña and colleague Philip Malkin, Manager of Creative

be a major remodel for 2014. “These capital investments can’t just go away because the economy is in bad shape,” Ip said. The Bellevue store will remain open throughout the remodel with expansion planned to occur first before upgrading existing departments. The supermarket will also expand its food selection. “We’re just expanding the product selection that we have in our store that our customers want,” Ip said. Utt said construction is anticipated to begin in early 2014. “We’re hoping to start construction when we get a permit by the first part of the year,” he said. “That could be January or February or somewhere in there.” The Land Use Division of the City of Bellevue’s Development Services Department has approved the QFC expansion, however, the Building Division is continuing its review of revised plans and a permit has not yet been issued, said Liz Stead, city urban design planning manager.

Peter Pak, owner of the Oma Bap restaurant in Bellevue, says he had to close his doors Sunday after unsuccessful negotiations for a lease renewal with the building’s landlord. “It’s been great to be a part of the downtown community and sad to have to leave,” Pak said. “I did take a gamble in signing a shortterm lease and, unfortunately, it didn’t end

the way I’d hoped.” The fast casual Korean restaurant started in its location on 120 Bellevue Way NE under the remainder 32 month lease Pak took over from Baja Fresh. Fatburger also closed last week after failing to renegotiate a lease. Pak said he is now looking for a place for Oma Bap in the Seattle area and waiting for new construction in Bellevue to occur, which may open up better leasing options.

Downtown Bellevue’s QFC supermarket is getting a $7-million, 6,000-square-foot expansion and remodel next year that will include adding a wine tasting bar and natural foods section pending final permitting from the city. “Our Bellevue downtown store is one of our highest-volume stores and one of our flagship stores, because it’s attached to our corporate headquarters,” said QFC spokeswoman Amanda Ip. “We really felt like an expansion was necessary to keep up with our demand.” The QFC store on Northeast Eighth Street will grow to more than 63,000 square feet with the expansion, and also include a lobby between the supermarket and entrance. “They’re having some kind of issues with wet weather and wind blowing into the store,” said Rick Utt, architect for the project with Cornerstone Architectural Group. “They’re actually redoing and updating most of their departments.” The Starbuck’s inside the store will be relocated to near the wine tasting bar where customer seating will be available. Utt said this is in keeping with a trend for retail grocery outlets to add more sociable amenities to their store layouts. “Bellevue is definitely an area where we felt a wine tasting bar would be very beneficial, so that’s why we decided to add one at the store,” Ip said. “Natural food (and) produce, those are both really big items for our customers, and so it’s a big deal for them, and we want to bring them the biggest variety that we can in our bigger stores.” QFC has invested $25 million in 2012-13 on major store remodels, not including minor renovations and repairs, she said, and the downtown Bellevue location will

PUBLIC NOTICES Puget Sound Energy, PO Box 97034, Bellevue WA 98009, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, PSE 120th Ave NE Utility Improvements is located on 120th Ave NE between NE 8th Street and NE 12th Street in Bellevue, in King County. This project involves 0.5 acres of soil disturbance for gas and electrical utility construction activities. Stormwater may be discharged to Sturtevant Creek. Any person desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication or this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology, Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater, PO Box 47696, Olympia, WA 98504-7696.

CONTRACT

“We have heard from people who are unhappy with the decision and don’t know why it was made the way it was,” said Kelly. “For some people those monthly savings are important, for both residents and businesses. I think there’s a confusion about why the Bellevue City Council chose to pass on an opportunity that provided a lower cost and higher quality service.” Kelly said in a scoring of either company, out of 100 CleanScapes tallied 98.5 compared to Republic Services’ 88.3. Eighty percent of the scoring criteria was based on price and the final twenty on customer service, contract implementation and sustainability, among other points. Kelly also noted some of the criteria either company was evaluated on, like community involvement, “are hard things to beat if you’re not in the city already.” CleanScapes currently serves about half of the city of Seattle, Issaquah, Shoreline and Des Moines, among other locations. When asked about transitioning services, CleanScapes said the company was well-equipped, having undergone five transitions in the last six years, including the city of Seattle, one of the largest efforts in the region. In his letter addressed to the city, Greenfield also questions the lobbying of several Republic Services representatives who approached councilmembers with emails and phone calls. Bidders and associated agents aren’t supposed to have contact before a contract vote. Emily Christensen, director of communication for the city, said staff were currently working out a time to meet with Greenfield. Any resulting solid waste contract won’t be finalized until later this month.

than 30 years and several councilmembers said during discussion that having to transition to another company was part of their reason for sticking with the present arrangement. The current contract expires next June. Council’s vote maintains the current rate structure under Republic Services, adding a number of service enhancements like organics collection, on-call curbside collection of small electronics and online account management. The contract will be finalized and again brought before council this month for approval.

billion dollar city, if we’re going to be global and competing with Hyderabad and Beijing, it’s important to have that perspective at the table.” The two most closely watched races are Wallace versus Kasner and Robinson versus Slatter, the latter being newcomers who earlier this year beat out incumbent Don Davidson. Robinson led the primary race with 48 percent of the vote to Slatter’s 26.3. Wallace held a slim lead over Kasner with 46.3 percent of the vote, compared to Kasner’s 42.3. In position 2, Heywood and Lee immediately advanced to the fall elections, though Heywood has vowed not to raise any funds. Primary results indicated a council shake-up with Davidson’s departure, but more recently contender Kasner, a member of the East Bellevue Community Council, has taken some heat for his comments at a Democratic gathering, claiming that he wanted to be a part of a “tsunami” of Democratic values, turning the “purple Eastside” blue. “I have a great track record of representing our whole city, whether it’s downtown or the neighborhoods of Lakemont, Lake Hills, Wilburton and Meydenbauer,” said Wallace. “If you ask neighborhood leaders from those organizations they’ll tell you I stand for them and we have great lines of communication…I stand for nonpartisan and collaborative leadership.” Wallace, who is wrapping up his first term, highlighted his work on the light rail alignment, in protecting such neighborhoods as Enatai and Surrey Downs, and said his knowledge of law and finance made him well-suited to the difficult issues facing the city. He noted his work during the recession, main-

maybe the city’s biggest challenge and because it required upholding a thriving downtown core, managing the impacts of urbanization, while also protecting Bellevue’s quality of life and neighborhoods. “Downtown, you know, it’s perfectly fine. But to be honest it’s all nice and new and sparkly, but a lot of the time it feels a bit like an airport terminal,” said Heywood who noted Bellevue’s downtown waterfront park would bring character to the city. “It could be really good if it’s managed properly.” “The goose that lays the golden egg is downtown,” countered Lee. “He pointed repeatedly to his track record of service, noting Bellevue’s status as a global city and his role as the first ethnic minority mayor. “We have to continue to have adequate revenue to pay for public safety, to pay for infrastructure and sustainability and our environment as a city within a park. We have to be sure of our financial strength and financial ability or financial means. It’s what’s going to sustain this environment so people want to continue to live in Bellevue.”

taining a budget without raising taxes. “That’s a great start,” said Kasner. “I have a business degree, I have a law degree, I’m a teacher and I can look at budgets also. But there’s a personal side to that…The skill I bring is consensus. These are not raw numbers on a spreadsheet, these are people who work for the city, human services needs we have, public-private partnerships. We must do a better job to get the assets we need for our city, to the projects and departments that need them.” The new council will address what and how to pay for capital projects, new shoreline rules and a comprehensive plan update. “I think transportation is going to be one of our biggest issues in the next few years. Our decisions on transportation are going to affect the quality of life and vitality of our economy,” said Robinson. “We need to make sense of light rail, make decisions on stations that encourage people to take light rail to work and walk three blocks, instead of driving into an underground parking garage…And we need to increase bikeability, walkability and to encourage people to get out of their car.” Slatter said building a cohesive vision for the city was
