Emergency ordinance coming for recreational marijuana

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue City Council is ready to finalize an ordinance regulating where collective gardens for medical marijuana can be located within the city and weighed in Monday on concerns they want addressed ahead of adoption of an emergency ordinance for recreational pot later this month.

Collective gardens – cooperatives where up to 10 qualifying patients may grow medical marijuana – have been

limited to light industrial, general commercial, Bel-Red general commercial and medical institution zones within the city since the passing of an emergency ordinance in May 2012.

A revised ordinance proposed by the Planning Commission would remain mostly the same, but exclude medical institution districts. Commission Chairwoman Diane Tebelius told councilors Monday they did not want there to be competition within the medical zones, which are al-

ready fairly small. Gardens would be located at least 1,000 feet from school zones and administrative conditional use permits would be issued for the structures. Gardens would also be separated by at least 1,000 feet.

Deputy Mayor Jennifer Robertson said she wanted the final ordinance, which will be brought before the council for a vote on Oct. 21, also to address concerns about

A 40-year-old Bellevue man is facing federal drug charges in U.S. District Court after authorities allegedly tied him to narcotics sales through the online black market site, Silk Road. The year-long investigation was prompted by the discovery of heroin in a mailed package pulled by the U.S. Postal Service.

Steven L. Sadler allegedly sold cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine through Silk Road, which uses Tor technology to conceal the identity of online users through encryption and redirecting of Internet traffic through multiple volunteer services, and used the Postal Service as a major delivery system for his illegal enterprise.

Court documents state Sadler, under his Silk Road username, "NOD," was listed in the top 1 percent of sellers on the site. Silk Road was shut down by the FBI on Oct. 2 and its operator, Ross W. Ulbright was arrested on charges of narcotics trafficking, computer hacking and money laundering.

Chamber seeks applicants for Young Entrepreneurs Academy The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce is seeking enterprising youths in grades 6-12 for its Young Entrepreneurs Academy, a program that teaches students all about business by putting them in charge of one of their own.

Started in 2004 at the University of Rochester and adopted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, YEA! is a 30-week program where students create and run their own businesses with the aid of more than 100 instructors and business leaders serving as mentors.

“We’re one of the first to do it in Washington state,” said Betty Nokes, president

Puget Sound Energy to send out ‘stinky’ bills Billing statements from Puget Sound Energy arriving at more than 1.5 million homes and businesses now through October include a scratch and sniff pamphlet to remind customers of the smell that’s used to help identify natural gas leaks.

A scratch on the insert releases a distinctive, sulfur-like aroma similar to rotten eggs. To help detect gas leaks more easily, PSE and other natural gas utilities add an odorant called mercaptan to the natural gas, which is naturally odorless and colorless. PSE advises everyone in a family to recognize the odor, and know what to do if they smell it.

If a natural gas odor is detected inside or outside a house or building, or if a leak is suspected, everyone should get out immediately.

Do not switch any lights or appliances on or off.

Do not use cell or landline phones.

When far away from the area, call 911, or PSE’s 24-hour emergency hotline at 1-888225-5773. PSE’s natural gas technicians will respond from its service centers at no charge to check out a problem.

A hissing sound, blowing dirt or bubbles in a puddle may also indicate a possible natural gas leak.

In addition to delivering a “rotten egg smell,” the pamphlet also reminds customers to call 811 to have underground utility lines located before having any work done to prevent injuries and damage.

EDITORIAL

Where are the leaders in Washington, D.C.?

R

eports out of Washington, D.C., indicate there may be hope of ending the stalemate over the government shutdown. It’s about time.

Representatives of both parties were said to be hinting at allowing a short-term increase in the national debt to give members of Congress more time for budget negotiations.

In fact, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, a Republican, urged members to find some common ground.

“We need to open the federal government. We need to pay our bills today – and make sure we can pay our bills tomorrow. So let’s negotiate an agreement to make modest reforms to entitlement programs and the tax code,” Ryan said.

Ryan’s words echo what most Americans are saying, only his don’t come with various expletives that you hear from people on the street.

The danger to the country goes far beyond the annoyance or inconvenience of having our national parks closed.

Carried on long enough – Oct. 17 is considered the critical date – we as a nation won’t be able to pay our bills. We hope no one in Congress sees this as a win.

Unfortunately, Sen. Ryan can’t make this happen alone.

While Ryan’s message was being read in the Wall Street Journal, negotiations between Democrat House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner failed to get sanity restored to the shutdown situation. As a sign of how bad things may be, neither side could even agree on who actually called a meeting between the two.

We understand many Republicans don’t like the Affordable Care Act and Democrats don’t like being blackmailed into putting the act up for negotiation.

But hobbling the federal government and damaging the country’s credit is not the way to make a point. Where are the leaders in Congress when we need them?

Boeing effort goes behind closed doors

T

welve Democratic and Republican state lawmakers will gather this morning in Seattle to continue formulating a strategy for convincing the Boeing Co. to assemble the 777X in Washington.

This will be their second sit down in two weeks and will take place behind closed doors in an unannounced location. (I hear if you hang out near the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce building around 9:30 a.m. you might catch sight of them.)

And if it’s like the inaugural meeting in Everett last week, materials handed out will be collected before anyone leaves the room. This dozen, along with representatives of the Machinists, aerospace Jerry Cornfield engineers, Washington State Labor Council and Aerospace Futures Alliance, are trying to craft a secret sauce to sway company executives and don’t want its ingredients known prematurely.

They are under some pressure. Gov. Jay Inslee, who cooked up the idea of the task force, wants something tangible before the international air show in Dubai begins Nov. 17. That’s when Boeing is expected to formally launch the 777X program and maybe hint where it will build the next generation of its popular jetliner.

There’s good precedent for such an exercise.

A decade ago, a select group of lawmakers drew up significant changes in Washington laws on such things as

?

Question of the week:

taxes, workers compensation and unemployment then got them approved by their colleagues. The result: Boeing chose Everett for its 7E7 — now 787 — program.

This time around is different in two major respects.

Then, Boeing laid out pretty clearly what it wanted and conducted a formal process to solicit proposals from communities and states. This time around, the company isn’t saying anything about its desires for the 777X. “The whole genesis is different,” said Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, who chaired the 2003 task force and is on this new panel. “We really don’t know what we’re responding to.”

The political climate is different, too.

Then, the governor was Gary Locke, a moderate Democrat. Faced with a Republican-run Senate, he found common ground with moderates in the GOP and his own party in order to push through sweeping policy reforms which helped land the groundbreaking Boeing program.

Now, the governor is Inslee, a progressive Democrat. He, too, faces a Senate controlled by Republicans. And, like in 2003, there are divisive issues such as transportation funding, workers compensation and fish consumption which may need tending to in bipartisan fashion to sway Boeing.

Unlike Locke, Inslee’s shown a mostly take-no-Republican-prisoners attitude in his dealings with the Legislature in his first year. For some task force members, it’s tempered SEE CORNFIELD, 5

Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Sauvignon is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. It can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of Cabernet Sauvignon almost immediately and, with a regimen of regular doses, you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.

Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had.

Stop hiding and start living.

Cabernet Sauvignon may not be right for everyone.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use it.

However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare and Naked Twister.

Since the Constitution was penned, it has been a constant struggle, to remain free and keep our republic. Freedom has, an always will be a struggle as long as we have people like Mr. Baumgartner.

Why Bellevue chose Republic Solid waste is one of the core services the city of Bellevue provides and the quality of that service is important to our residents and businesses. Republic Services has provided Bellevue with superior garbage and recycling collection for more than 30 years. By all measures, they do an outstanding job which is why the council chose to stay with Republic for a new contract.

This vendor selection process was conducted in an open and transparent manner consistent with state law. This was not a competitive bid process that required selection based on price alone. The selection criteria made clear that service quality and reliability were key to our final decision. Like many choices each of us make in buying products and services, price is rarely the sole consideration. The history of service, the value to the community and the impact of changing vendors were also carefully considered.

We scrutinized extensive information gathered through the evaluation process, considered dozens of public comments, and reviewed the issues at four council meetings before reaching our decision.

The decision to move forward with Republic was made in the best interests of Bellevue residents and businesses. It was based on information provided in the proposals and public comments, as well as the judgment we, as policymakers, are expected to exercise each and every day.

Jennifer Robertson, deputy mayor, city of Bellevue

Warnings:

■ The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

■ The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.

■ The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to think you can sing.

■ The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

Second Amendment keeps us free I'm so happy that C.F. Baumgartner is a psychic and can tell us what our Founding Fathers really meant when they wrote our Constitution (Other Voices, Sept. 13, 2013). The Constitution is four pages and the Bill of Rights one page. Both were written very concisely to eliminate interpretation. Rather, our forefathers wrote that changes were to be by amendments. In the history of the world, both before and after the Constitution, the first thing a tyrant and his cronies did was to take away the right to bear arms and then to punish freedom of speech. Citizens without arms are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse.

There are now pundits who say we should limit or ban automatic rifles, round capacity, etc. The right to bear arms does not limit the method. If your foe has a Gatling gun, having a musket does not help you defend yourself.

Our very core of our freedom is amendments one and two.

Once either is changed we are no longer free.

Elected officials doing their job Regarding the Oct. 4 editorial comment on health care coverage, just remember that 47.1 percent of the 2008 voters in the U.S. did not like the president’s plan and did not want to pay for it.

That percentage may also carry over to your customers.

That is why their representatives are voting the way they are.

They are representing their constituents.

Slatter doesn't understand city The future of Bellevue depends on a well qualified City Council. The election in November offers a clear choice for Council Position 6.

Vandanna Slatter, the unknown woman running for that position, has shown a total lack of understanding of the role of a municipal government. None of her touted experience qualifies her to sit on the council. NARAL and abortion rights are not a municipal issue; serving on the state pharmacy board has no relationship to municipal government, nor does sitting on an unrelated foundation board.

Her employer is not a Bellevue business. She shows no knowledge or experience dealing with the complex issues and finances of Bellevue. The majority of her money for the primary election came from out-of-state; pharmaceutical companies, and their executives, and people who do not live in Bellevue, or from her own wealth.

It was the most expensive race in city history. Hopefully we do not sell seats on our City Council. Elect a well known local long time community leader instead – Lynne Robinson.

ing and processing marijuana, and city staff is recommending those functions only occur inside a structure within light industrial zones. Land Use Director Carol Helland told council that attorneys for prospective growers have indicated western Washington's climate is not conducive to producing marijuana outdoors, which means it would likely all be grown inside.

Robertson said the council should avoid impeding the process of bringing recreational marijuana production and sales to Bellevue, but she favors tighter regulations in an interim emergency ordinance that may be loosened in the final version. If the emergency ordinance were too loose and certain zones were later eliminated, it could leave behind growing, processing and retail operations that no longer conform to the zones they're in.

"We want to make sure they know where in Bellevue they can go," said Robertson, adding she wants to make sure the point where marijuana is being loaded for shipment also is contained.

"We don't want kids walking by seeing bales of marijuana being loaded into trucks."

Should the council likewise adopt the emergency ordinance on Oct. 21, a public hearing would need to be held within 60 days.

In the last four months of sales documented on Silk Road, the criminal complaint alleges Sadler sold more than 2,600 grams of cocaine, nearly 600 grams of heroin and 105 grams of methamphetamine. There are eight months of suspected drug sales the amount of which could not be determined.

"The whole point is, we don't want the view or the smell of it to leave the property where they're selling it," she said.

Councilor John Chelminiak said he is concerned there needs to be an emphasis on security more than the required cameras and alarm system. Mayor Conrad Lee agreed security needed to be a strong component of an ordinance.

"It's simply because the product still has value on the black market," Chelminiak said.

As the Washington State Liquor Control Board aims to begin accepting applications for three licenses related to the growing, processing and sale of recreational marijuana in November, Legal Planner Catherine Drews said there is not enough time to address a land use code amendment, so an interim emergency ordinance should be passed. This would allow the Planning Commission more time to address revising the code.

Bellevue has been allocated four marijuana retail stores by the liquor control board, and Drews said the 11 at-large licenses would only be possible in cities without stores already allocated or unincorporated areas within King and other Washington counties.

Staff has identified zones for retail under the assumption restrictions, such as the 1,000-foot rule, will assist in limiting where they are eventually located.

A 39-year-old Seattle man who allegedly attempted to hire an undercover police officer posing as a hit man to shoot his girlfriend in the leg and slash her face is being held on a $1 million bond at the King County Jail, along with his 22-year-old cousin who reportedly helped set up the assault.

Francisco Lopez-Agudo is alleged to have first sought someone to kill his girlfriend, whom he suspected of cheating on him. His cousin, Sergio Ruiz Lopez, made contact with a confidential informant who alerted a Bellevue Police detective of the murder-for-hire plot, according to court documents. LopezAgundo has a wife in Mexico.

"We got the tip and we called Seattle (Police), and they said work it," said Carla Iafrate, public information officer for BPD, who confirmed such an investigation doesn't come up often. "I haven't looked at how many we have, but it's rare."

Police recorded multiple phone conversations between the informant and Ruiz Lopez in early September, as well as a meeting at a Seattle taco stand, where the Bellevue Police Special Enforcement Team conducted surveillance. Ruiz Lopez met the informant again in late September at a Bartell Drug store. His brother, Margarito Ruiz Lopez, is alleged to have driven him there. He is being held on a $20,000 bond for first-degree rendering criminal assistance.

Court documents state Lopez-Agundo and Ruiz Lopez eventually agreed to meet with the "hit man" around 12:30 a.m. Oct. 2 in the Burien Safeway parking lot. Translating for his cousin, Ruiz Lopez is reportedly told the undercover officer that Lopez-Agudo wanted his girlfriend shot three times in the leg and her face slashed. The officer was also provided with a photo of the girlfriend, her name and address.

When the officer told the cousins the woman might die from three shots to the leg, court documents state they lowered the request to one shot, but also did not mind if she died in the assault. He allegedly wanted the assault to occur that weekend while the mother-of-two was at work.

The officer and cousins reportedly worked out a payment of one ounce of heroin to start, and another two ounces and $500 after the assault. Both men were arrested in Seattle's University District following the meeting.

The intended victim was notified of her boyfriend's plot and placed in an undisclosed location for her safety.

All three men were charged by the King County Prosecutor's Office with first-degree conspiracy to commit assault (domestic violence) and first-degree solicitation to commit assault (domestic violence). They are set for arraignment on Tuesday.

Bellevue schools seeking volunteer help in the classroom

The VIBES (Volunteers in Bellevue’s Education System) program is looking for volunteers to work with Bellevue students this year.

Supported by Bellevue Schools Foundation, the city of Bellevue and Bellevue School District, VIBES is a well-established program that puts community volunteers to work in every school across the district.

Data shows that the vast majority of students working with VIBES volunteers show improvement in their work habits, academics and personal growth.

Last year, more than 700 volunteers

donated nearly 20,000 hours of their time to support Bellevue students.

A wide range of opportunities are available, including: One-on-one mentoring: Meet weekly with the same student. Students get oneon-one attention from a caring adult.

Opportunities are available at every school across the district.

Small group/classroom tutoring: Support all students in a classroom.

Volunteers may circulate throughout the room, helping students who need extra

assistance, or may work with small groups of students. Opportunities are available at every school across the district.

College Corps: Help high school seniors with college research, applications, personal statements, and scholarship essays. College Corps runs from early October through January. Opportunities are available at Bellevue, Interlake, Newport, and Sammamish high schools.

Dual-language programs: Fluent Spanish and Mandarin speakers can put their skills to work supporting individual students, small groups, or entire classrooms while at the same time modeling language skills.

Transition Services Center at Interlake High School: Work with 18-21-yearold students with disabilities to help them reach their potential as independent adults. Opportunities include one-on-one conversation and support, group discussion facilitation, and more.

Bellevue Big Picture School: Share your expertise and passion with students interested in your profession. Mentor a

student or small group during the school day, host a high school student intern for 10 weeks, participate in Job Shadow Day, or serve as a guest speaker.

STEM: Help prepare students for post-high school studies and careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) professions.Volunteers can support teachers during the process of problem formulation, facilitate small problem-solving groups, evaluate products created by student teams, or work one-on-one with students who need extra support.

AVID: Facilitate small group discussions among AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) students. AVID is a student-support program designed to ensure that all students, especially the students in the middle, complete a college preparatory path. Opportunities available at middle and high schools across the district.

trict, something she hoped to amend with more community meetings and forums.

Luera suspects it will be igniting a spark among struggling students, something he said he can identify with from the time it took to latch onto his own education. For Roberson, the challenge lies in connecting parents with resources, like English as a Second Language programs, disability services and more.

During a more emotional moment of the forum, moderator Michelle Hilhorst asked the candidates if they knew of recent bullying incidents at Newport Hills Elementary.

All three candidates spoke personally about the concern. Roberson said it was currently anti-bullying month at Bellevue College and noted that a big component of combatting it was to teach parents how to use and understand social media – such as Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter – which had become a new frontier for bullying. Luera said he had heard from kids he'd coached that it was an issue and Thai recounted her own experience with bullying, when she came to the U.S. at 15, knowing very little English.

"We're here to educate and to support," said Thai. "If something is happening in the classroom, we need to be supportive."

Candidates spoke on a range of topics, from bullying in the district to the overcrowding of schools. Bellevue is a 19,000-student district, but while the city is known for its pockets of affluence, 20 percent of students in the schools qualify for free-and-reduced lunches.

“We need to (find) a better approach for how to collect data and how we build schools,” said Roberson, adding that the district was currently taking a reactive approach to planning.

Luera noted that real estate constantly draws on forecasting and data, something he thought the district could do a better job of. He noted that many of the buildings he worked on in downtown Seattle sprung up in 18 to 19 months. Sammamish High School was predicted to take three and a half years, meaning the current freshman class would have six months in the new space.

When asked what were the biggest obstacles the district faced in the coming few years, Thai said she expected it to be communicating the direction of the dis-

108th Ave NE gets high rent ranking Business Roundup Businesses and business people making news

PSE seeking rate increase

Office buildings tower over 108th Ave N.E. in Bellevue. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A global real estate service firm has identified 108th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue as the 12th most expensive central business district street in the country, and its experts say future office space will likely cost even more.

The average rent on 108th Avenue Northeast was $38.58 a square foot, and topped out at a little more than $45 a square foot, according to a study released

by Jones Lang LaSalle that examined 40 office markets in the United States.

“Bellevue is in one of the tightest CBD office markets in the country, because they’re in such a strong demographic, a strong workforce,” said Trisha Raicht, LaSalle vice president for research in the Northwest. “The downside is with a healthier market comes inflation and the market for office space is significantly tighter for office space than it was a few years ago.”

FDIC removes consent order with Seattle Bank The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

(FDIC) has lifted a consent order with Seattle Bank, another major step forward for the 69-year-old institution as one of Seattle’s leading locally owned banks.

Seattle Bank has branches in Bellevue, Belltown, Wallingford, Southcenter and Tacoma.

The consent order, issued by the FDIC in July 2009, was connected to practices in the bank’s mortgage division, as well as losses associated with the economic downturn, when the bank had different owners and different management.

The bank subsequently was sold to and recapitalized by a new ownership group, which invested $62 million in 2011.

Seattle Bank’s total assets are $250 million, with $46 million of capital on hand.

Bellevue Galleria sells for $88M

Bellevue Galleria, a 204,000-square-foot shopping and office complex just west of the downtown transit center, sold on Oct. 4 for $87.6 million, or $429 per square foot, according to county documents.

In 2007, RP Realty Partners of Los Angeles bought the same property for $53.4 million, converting the center’s theater and retail to office space two years later.

San Francisco’s California Street ranked fourth in the CBD market at a little more than $62 per square foot.

Closer to Bellevue, Seattle’s Union Street - between Second and Seventh avenues - ranked 10th at $38.92 per square foot on average. In the top ranking is Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue at an average of $102 per square foot.

Businesses not getting squeezed out of 108th Avenue Northeast are making tighter space work to their advantage, said Riley Shephard, an associate with Jones Lang LaSalle. He said tech companies are fitting more employees into smaller spaces and accepting the higher cost because of the quality of the buildings and the ability to be in an area where top-tiered talent can be recruited.

“You kind of have to have that cool

October 11, 2013 [11] office space,” Shephard said. “You have to sort of have that next best thing and that’s just how it’s evolved. … The buildings that are there can accommodate the denser footprint of these employers.”

“It’s more important for them to have the space where they want it and accommodate their growth,” added Raicht, “than having their real estate constraining their business growth.”

Businesses are not shying away from 108th Avenue Northeast, which means a shortage of vacant space coupled with a lack of other options.

Shephard said the cost of constructing new buildings is so expensive, it would push rates higher to justify the cost.

“The reason we haven’t seen some of the new construction take off … our rates almost aren’t high enough to justify the new construction,” he said, adding of future buildings, “It’s probably going to be between $35 and $38 net, so add $10 or $12 to that sum and you’re going to be in the upper 40s upper 50s, and I don’t think we’re too far from getting these on 108th.”

Neighborhoods get attention at Bellevue candidates’ forum

BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

The six city council candidates on this fall's ballot met again Tuesday night at a forum in Newport Hills, this time focusing primarily on neighborhood issues, like the revival of the local shopping center and traffic congestion.

In Position 2, Mayor Conrad Lee is running against Lyndon Heywood, a graphic designer who emigrated from London in 2004. Incumbent councilmember Kevin Wallace faces Steve Kasner, a member of the East Bellevue Community Council for Position 4. And in Position 6, Lynne Robinson is facing Vandana Slatter after both polled more votes than incumbent councilmember Don Davidson.

“That particular proposal got washed out in the sea of light rail. It never saw the light of day again,” said Kasner of efforts to revamp zoning and business in the Newport Hills Shopping Center. “And once again you were left holding the bag.”

Like Lake Hills and Kelsey Creek before, the neighborhood of Newport Hills has struggled to keep a shopping center afloat after it was hit hard by the recession and the loss of its anchor business, Red Apple, in 2009. Bill Pace has since opened a fresh produce market in the center, but that has also attracted less business than originally hoped. Candidates agreed that the issues facing Newport Hills were indicative of changes citywide.

“The neighborhoods and communities definitely took a little bit of a backseat (to light rail)” said Slatter, a medical liaison for Amgen Inc. When asked how candidates could update

The six candidates for three seats on the Bellevue City Council debated the issues in a forum in Newport Hills, one of many neighborhood forums throughout the city. COURTESY PHOTO, Al Garman the shopping center, ideas ranged from building a senior living facility, first put forward by Robinson, to infusing the center with small storefronts and “third places.”

“With all this development going on in the downtown and in the Bel-Red corridor...we need to look at our our own infrastructure here," Robinson said. "Because as has been said, it's crumbling. We have sidewalks and streets crumbling. Newport Hills has great opportunities to make changes and improve-

ments. We just have to come together to decide what you want and how to find funding for it. That's a big priority for me.”

Among the issues facing the council these next few years is an update of the city's comprehensive plan, selection of a new city manager and development of corridors like Bel-Red, zoned for transit-oriented development.

Heywood, Mayor Lee’s challenger has run on the message that city staff and council have been unresponsive to the community. He conceded that the city had unpopular decisions to make in the next few years, but said: “(people) don’t believe the city government works for us anymore.”

Lee, who has been mayor for the last two years and lived in Bellevue for 46, emphasized that while light rail had made for a time-consuming agenda item, as a massive regional project, it required the full-attention of council.

“Bellevue is growing at a rapid rate, faster than most cities,” said Lee. “When we’re doing well we don’t want to become complacent...We need a vision and that involves you.”

Wallace also touted light rail as an accom-

plishment of the current council, saying the last few years had presented some of the city’s biggest challenges, including a budget ravaged by the recession. He noted despite the tough times, during his last four years on council, property taxes were not hiked.

Wallace and his opponent, Kasner, have been vocal about their differing stance on taxes. Wallace has promised not to raise property taxes without a vote. Kasner has said the city is too dependent on a sales-tax model, which he says is only beneficial during times of growth.

“The biggest challenge we have is maintaining the balance of the city. The reason Bellevue is the great city it is, is because the present council and the council before, have kept that balance...we keep doing (projects) in each area,” Wallace said. “Newport Hills is an example of that. In the last four years, despite being in a recession, despite having declines in our revenue, we have acquired new park property, redeveloped [it] with a turf field...

We've continued to make the neighborhood vibrant.”

Sports Roundup

What’s happening in sports and recreation

Newport alum makes Elite 8 on tennis court for George Fox Chris Lilley, part of the 2012 Newport boys state title tennis team and third place doubles pair for the Knights, has continued to make a name for himself at the collegiate level and was recently named Men’s Athlete of the Week at George Fox University. He also picked up honorable mention honors for conference Athlete of the Week.

Lilley was the sixth seeded player in the USTA/ITA Small College Northwest Regional Tournament and made the Elite 8 in singles, a feat he has now accomplished in each of his two years with the Bruins.

In doubles, Lilley and partner Justin McClain advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament before being beaten.

The 2012 Newport grad was named first team All-Conference last season as a freshman and finished the year 13-2 in singles and 9-9 in doubles.

During his senior season at Newport, Lilley and teammate Dylan Harlow were the third place finishers in the 4A state doubles tournament after reaching the semi-finals as the Knights won the first of back-to-back team titles.

Bellevue, Interlake in top-10

National title for Robinswood women

A pair of local teams remained in the cross country coaches poll, as the Bellevue boys and Interlake girls continued their stay in the top-10.

Bellevue was seventh on the boys side and the only 3A KingCo team in the rankings. District foes Nathan Hale (third), Seattle Prep (sixth), Blanchet (eighth) and Bainbridge (tenth) should make for a spirited and fast Sea-King meet later in the season.

Interlake checked in ninth on the girls side in Class 3A, behind conference foes Liberty (fourth) and Mercer Island (seventh).

3A Boys North Central; Kamiakin; Nathan Hale; Mount Spokane; University; Seattle Prep; Bellevue; Blanchet; Columbia River; Bainbridge; Others: Lakes, Glacier Peak, Oak Harbor, Shorewood.

3A Girls Glacier Peak; Kamiakin; Mount Spokane; Liberty; Prairie; Peninsula; Mercer Island; North Central; Interlake; Lakeside; Others: Hanford, Southridge, Lindbergh, Oak Harbor.

After dozens of matches, months of competition and trips around the country, Robinswood Tennis Center in Bellevue is home to a National Champion.

The women’s 2.5 team won the 18 & Over title at the USTA National Championships in Indian Wells, Calif. recently to bring home the honor after winning a series of other titles to advance to the final tournament. The National Championship is the second for Robinswood Tennis Center, the first for a women’s team, and the first for coach Jason Chapman.

The Robinswood team won a round robin flight to advance to the semi-finals, where they won a match over a team from Warrenton, Va. 2-1.

There, they defeated a team from West Virginia 3-0 to capture the national title.

For Chapman, who said he has been to the biggest stage of USTA tennis more than a dozen times as a player and coach, the moment was a culmination.

“I basically cried,” said Chapman, who had his pregnant wife and pseudo assistant coach by his side for his first national title.

Robinswood won its first match 3-0 at the National Championships before defeating the Texas squad 3-0 later in the day.

A tiebreak scenario left Chapman knowing his team only needed to win two sets in three matches to advance from pool play and used the opportunity to mix and match play-

ers and rest his singles players, who were left taxed without the injured Susan Casabona.

“It worked out,” Chapman said. “But it gave me a heart attack.”

Karen Schmid won her finals match 6-3, 6-2 in the number one singles spot, while Jill Olkoski and Edna Gossage won their number one doubles match 6-4, 6-3 and Sue Junker and Alicia Scott won in the number two double spot 6-0, 6-4 to give their team the national title in a clean sweep.

Chapman said two Robinswood teams were on the court when they clinched the title as a team, sending him running across the complex, screaming in excitement.

“It kind of freaked them out,” he said. “Luckily, they were still focused on the match and won, so we got the sweep.”

Chapman said the team, which is comprised of players from all over the Eastside and Seattle, has a number of varying personalities among its eight members, including an internationally renowned opera singer in Heidi Person of Fall City. When the title on the court was secure, the team was treated to a performance from their musical star that Chapman said was music to everyone’s ears.

“It was amazing,” he said.

His collegiate choices have reportedly been narrowed to UCLA, where head coach Jim Mora has several Bellevue ties, Oregon and Washington, where former Bellevue assistant Danny Razore is a graduate assistant.

But before he can turn his attention to the droves of major colleges recruiting him, or even the AllAmerican Bowl in January, he knows he has one more thing to do with the Wolverines.

“I’m really excited,” he said of the honor, adding he has been able to measure himself against some of those same All-Americans at Nike’s The Opening, a combine event for top recruits. “I hopefully made a name there and hopefully I can again, but right now I’m just focused on this state championship.”

Baker, who is one of two Washington preps selected along with Mountlake Terrace running back Devante Downs, was recognized Thursday, Oct. 10 at 2:45 p.m. in a ceremony at Bellevue High School after the Reporter’s deadline.

Baker will be one of 90 players invited to the game and said during his team’s Wednesday practice the honor has been one he has thought about for the past year when he watched his teammate receive it.

“I liked how they did the whole presentation,” he said of last year’s celebration for Jack. “I knew I couldn’t wait until next year.”

Baker, who has scored touchdowns returning kicks and punts, rushing, receiving and on defense, is widely considered to be among the top 150 recruits in the country and the top player in the state this season. Bellevue coaches have never shied away from heaping praise on their all-purpose threat, and second-year defensive coordinator Matt Coombs, himself a Bellevue alum and key member of the team when it began its first four-peat in 2001, said the “wow” moments from his senior safety have been as consistent as his unwavering work ethic.

“It happens week-toweek,” Coombs said of Baker’s ability to make jaw-dropping plays in all three phases of the game.

Effie Tutko’s dance talent already has put her into a video game. COURTESY PHOTO, Diana Baker

Bellevue girl 'Teen Dancer of the Year'

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

A Bellevue Big Picture freshman has become Hollywood Vibe's Teen Dancer of the Year.

Effie Tutko, 14, beat out 50 finalists competing in Anaheim, Calif., with a lyrical dance set to Charlotte Sometimes' "Build The Moon."

"I am amazed," she said. "It was a shock when I found out I'd won."

Tutko has practiced dance for eight years and presently studies at Allegro Performing Arts Academy in Kent. She's attended conventions and competitions such as Spotlight Seattle and Hollywood Connection.

Her talents have even put her in a video game: Tutko was a full motion video actor in "Just Dance Kids II," a title released for motion sensing consoles.

"It was so exciting," Tutko said. "It was a real world opportunity to dance."

Tutko began with ballet, but said she soon fell in love with all styles, including jazz, hiphop and ballroom. Her competition winning dance was lyrical.

"Lyrical dance is basically dance that relates to the music," she said. "Your motions match what's playing."

Tutko entered the competition when Hollywood Vibe toured to Seattle. She advanced to semifinals in San Jose, Calif., and then to nationals in Anaheim.

"Competition was intense (and) it inspired me to be a better dancer," Tutko said. "I had to go down with my solo performance. You did it once to compete and then the judges picked the top two dancers."

She was called to perform again for the top two and was picked by the judges over her competitor.

For her national win, Tutko received a scholarship for continued dance lessons, as well as membership to the Hollywood Vibe Dance Company. Company membership gives her the opportunity to assist their choreographers in demonstrating lessons at conventions and competition. Past Hollywood Vibe National Dancers of the Year have gone on to acting and dancing careers in Los Angeles, appearing in shows, such as "Glee" or "Hit the Floor."

As for Effie's future?

"I definitely want to continue competing," she said. "And I have dreams to be a convention teacher. I love to teach."

I-90 death seen as suicide The Washington State Patrol says it is investigating the death of a 70-year-old Washington woman Sept. 29 on westbound Interstate 90 at 142nd Place Southeast in Bellevue as a suicide. The Patrol said the woman apparently jumped from the overpass around 9:45 p.m. and was by a motorist.

The view beyond: Life After High School

C

ongratulations to the class of 2014.

It’s early yet, but reality is only a few months away. Whether you are graduating from a nationally ranked high school, working on your GED or taking college classes for Running Start – Real Life looms. Welcome.

Real Life doesn’t care if you were the valedictorian, the first chair, a class clown or (gasp!) a completely average kid. Real Life can be a vicious, snarling monster or completely indifferent.

Darcy Brixey The only way to survive Real Life is to participate.

How will you participate? You will face choices such as college or work, travel or philanthropy. Perhaps you will march directly into the work force, resumé in hand, or you will enlist in a branch of the military. All choices count. It’s making that choice that’s the tough part.

Life After High School is a program series offered by King County Library System to support the choices you will have to make.

From October through November you will have a variety of options of programs from across the library system.

There are events for SAT prep, getting into college and paying for your education. This

series recognizes that not everyone heads off to college so there are programs for resumé and cover letter writing and interviewing. All programs are listed on the Life After High School website: http://www.kcls.org/lifeafterhighschool/.

In addition to the events in the libraries, there is a special collection of resources that includes books, websites and databases at guides.kcls.org/lahs.

Life will take you on unexpected side journeys. Majors will be changed. Relationships will ebb and flow and things that were once important are replaced by things that you never expected. Years down the road that treasured volume of Tennyson poetry that sat on the esteemed book shelf of bound classics will later perch on top of a hamster cage to deter a furry escape artist.

Your children will laugh at your yearbook photos. You might get excited by the things like cooking magazines and Vitamix blenders.

All that is far into the future. Your first step is to choose a path. There are many choices in life. Know your options. It’s up to you. Just remember, there is life after high school and it’s even better.

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.
