Lee, Robinson win council seats, Wallace leads Kasner

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee has secured his position on the Bellevue City Council with Wednesday night ballot counts showing him still far ahead of opponent, Lyndon Heywood. Bellevue parks commissioner Lynne Robinson appears all but certain to join him in the chamber next year. Incumbent councilmember

Kevin Wallace is still holding a small lead over his Position No. 4 opponent, Steve Kasner, chairman for the East Bellevue Community Council.

King County election results posted twice Wednesday show Lee ahead of Heywood at 78.14 percent or 14,227 votes. Robinson, who was ahead of opponent, Vandana Slatter, Tuesday night, remains ahead at 63.05 percent or

11,251 votes. Wallace remained in a slight lead Wednesday at 51.09 percent or 9,368 votes. The Position No. 4 race was too close to call by press time.

Of the 74,274 registered voters in the city, 28.10 percent were counted as of Wednesday or 20,871.

For the Bellevue School District, Krischanna Roberson saw a slight increase to her lead against

Felix Hernandez' Bellevue home catches fire Fire investigators say a blaze that caused severe damage to two-story Bellevue home owned by Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez on the 9500 block of Northeast First Street started in the laundry room.

Bellevue Fire Lt. Rich Burke said

heavy smoke and flames were visible on the east end of the home when the first engine arrived on the scene Nov. 4. No one was home at the time of the fire, which caused damage to the ground floor while heat and smoke damaged the second floor, he said.

No one was in the home when the fire started.

Firefighters from Bellevue, Mercer Island and Redmond responded to the blaze. Damage is estimated at $250,000.

The investigation is ongoing.

Local and state law enforcement took a hit this week with a Washington State Patrol trooper suffering minor injuries in a collision on Interstate 405 Sunday and a Bellevue cruiser involved in a t-bone accident on Tuesday.

WSP reports 47-year-old Shansi He of Seattle was traveling southbound on I-405 around 5:40 p.m. Sunday when he lost control of his 2013 Honda CRV and collided with Trooper Anatoliy Nazariya's patrol vehicle near the I-90 westbound exit on I-405 where the 28-year-old officer was investigating an accident.

He and his passenger, 43-year-old Weiming Chen of Boise were transported to Harborview Medical Center where they were treated and released. Charges are pending.

This is the second accident to occur near the exit in the past two weeks involving a WSP patrol car.

An officer-involved collision at Northeast Eighth Street and 148th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue around 10:30 a.m. tied up traffic for several hours at the intersection.

A Bellevue police officer was traveling westbound on Eighth Street with his lights and siren on in response to a back-up call for another officer involved in a fight, said Ofc. Carla Iafrate. Another vehicle traveling southbound on 148th failed to yield to the officer and collided with the side of the officer's cruiser, which was pushed into two other vehicle.

The officer was transported to a local hospital as a precautionary measure and accident investigators were out Tuesday reconstructing the scene.

A Bellevue cruiser was damaged in a five-car accident Tuesday.

Apartment complex fire under criminal investigation

BY BRANDON MACZ

BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Hampton Greens Apartments complex fire that sent seven people to the hospital Tuesday morning is being investigated as a criminal case by Bellevue police with the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

Residents at the complex in the 4500 block of 148th Avenue Northeast reported hearing an explosion followed by flames around 6:30 a.m. Fire Department Lt. Rich Burke said a three-story multi-family structure sustained significant damage within 10 units. The fire was brought under control after 85 minutes. Because of the high level of structural damage, he said the heavilytiled roof had to be removed with a track hoe to allow investigators to work inside the building.

Of the seven injured, one was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and six to local hospitals, including a firefighter who sustained a cut to her hand.

Many other Hampton Greens residents sustained injuries, but were treated by other tenants. Burke said everyone hospitalized Tuesday sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Bellevue Police Ofc. Carla Iafrate said at one point there were about 75 firefighters from three agencies and up to 25 officers assisting with traffic control and securing the area. She said she has heard reports one

person in the building jumped out a window to escape the blaze and a man caught fire, but could not confirm at this time.

As an active criminal investigation, Iafrate said there is little the police department can disclose.

"I can freely say that one of the police detectives talked to a fire marshal that had been here and there was something here that was suspicious, and it has been turned over and it is now a criminal investigation," she said.

The fire was contained to one structure in the complex with damage estimated at $1.5 million for a total loss and the value of personal items lost in the blaze is $150,000.

Red Cross, Metro bus services and the property management company provided aid for displaced residents.

Spiritwood residents support housing ordinance Council affirms restrictions for single-room occupancy housing

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Spiritwood neighborhood residents told Bellevue city councilmembers Monday they understand the plight of college students in need of affordable housing, but they support ending single-room occupancies in single-family residences they see as a blight to their community.

Councilors took comments during Monday's public hearing before affirming the continuation of an emergency ordinance, which restricts the number of unrelated renters in a dwelling unit to four and will require those with leases in rooming houses in single-family residential areas to move out by July 1. The exception would be if four unrelated persons can show they are operating as a family unit.

The issue was raised by Spiritwood residents in June and the emergency ordinance enacted in September. However, city land use director Carol Helland said a closer look shows all of Bellevue is at risk of homes being occupied on a room-by-room basis.

"It was identified as a citywide threat to livability and quality," she said.

Bellevue residents lauded the council for its actions, though some said the final ordinance being drafted by the city's planning commission and staff should be tighter to prevent more investors from coming into their neighborhoods, buying up homes and converting them to multi-room rentals.

Bellevue College students, however, oppose the ordinance, saying it further limits

their ability to find affordable housing while attending the educational institution.

Student enrollment is around 38,000, with the college moving forward and with becoming more of a four-year institution, said Alex Clark with the Associated Student Government, housing will only become more difficult with the passing of such an ordinance limiting low-income options.

What affordable housing does exist is not near the college, he added, and students living together is a way to cut costs.

"We choose to identify with this city as part of our moniker on our resume," added student Paul Bell, who said forcing students out of Bellevue will only add to the city's traffic congestion.

But many homeowners said it's the college's responsibility to provide housing for its students and blamed a lack of planning on the institution's part for the problem.

They said their neighborhoods should not be occupied by "boardinghouses" where homes are ripped up and reconstituted for single-room occupancy.

"I don't want to raise my kids in a neighborhood that is dominated by the college students," said Tyler Armstrong.

Rob Crouch recommended the council consider rezoning the Interstate 90 reconstruction area in Bellevue to allow for lowincome and multi-family housing, which Helland said is being discussed. Stephanie Walter commended the council for its work to prevent single-family neighborhoods from becoming "for-profit inventory for investors" capitalizing on single-room leases.

Councilmember Claudia Balducci said while the emergency ordinance and a finalized ordinance pending from the planning commission addresses the issue of rooming houses, it does not address the lack of affordable housing in Bellevue. She said it

is the city's responsibility to ensure there is affordable housing available and to decide where it should be located.

EDITORIAL

City, schools in good hands after election

V

oters got it right Tuesday night in voting “yes” on two important countywide measures and a resounding “no” on two statewide measures.

We expected voters to strongly support continuing funding for Medic One and establish a Department of Public Defense – and they did. Both are critical to the well-being of everyone in King County.

Elsewhere, two state initiatives were trounced – as they deserved to be.

After millions (and millions) of dollars spent on TV and direct mail advertising I-522, which would require labeling of genetically engineered food, was soundly defeated with 60 percent of voters saying “no.” It was the right choice. If such food is to be labeled, rules and regulations need more thought and care than this measure offered.

Likewise, I-517, which would open the floodgates to initiative gathering, was given a thumbs down by an even larger percent of voters. Initiative king Tim Eyman lamented that “unless reforms like those contained in Initiative 517 are enacted, only initiatives sponsored by the big guys will make it.”

These weren’t reforms, but merely a way for Eyman to get even more losing initiatives on the ballot.

Locally, Bellevue voters returned Conrad Lee to the City Council and picked Lynne Robinson for another council seat. Robinson has spent more than a decade honing her skills on the Bellevue Parks Board and Network on Aging.

We expect her to be a strong contributor to Bellevue’s well-being. Councilmember Kevin Wallace seems poised for another four-year term, but was in a close contest with Steve Kasner.

The Bellevue School Board should be in good hands as voters elected Krischanna Roberson and My-Linh Thai to open seats.

All-in-all, a good job by the voters.

Dems face two leadership tests With the curtain now closed on the fall election, Democrats will turn their attention to filling two jobs critically important for the political party’s future in Olympia and throughout the state.

First up is a vote for a new leader of the Democratic caucus in the state Senate. Sen. Ed Murray of Seattle is in the seat now but will be departing in a few weeks to begin his new gig as mayor of his hometown.

Sens. Sharon Nelson of Maury Island and Karen Keiser of Kent are considered the top contenders to succeed him.

Then in February, comes the selection of a new chairman for the state Democratic Party. Dwight Pelz, the current boss, is retiring and will exit once a successor is chosen by those at the helm of the party operations in all 39 counties.

Party veteran Nancy Biery has Jerry Cornfield launched her campaign for the job.

Former state representative Brendan Williams is said to be considering a bid as well.

Until other candidates surface, Biery, 59, of Quilcene, looks pretty tough to beat. She’s been a precinct committee officer, chairwoman of the Jefferson County Democratic Party and field director for the state party. She’s also worked for former Gov. Gary Locke and U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and raised money and organized get-out-the-vote efforts in dozens of campaigns through the years.

Whoever is chosen to lead the Senate caucus and chair

?

Question of the week:

the state party must confront the challenge of slowly eroding support for Democratic candidates in suburban communities of Snohomish, King and Pierce counties. It’s a trend which is giving rise to hopes of a Republican resurrection in the Legislature next year and statewide in 2016.

Nowhere is this evolution clearer than in the state Senate where there are 26 Democrats and 23 Republicans, but it is the members of the Grand Old Party who are running the show.

That’s because two moderate Democrats — Sens. Rodney Tom of Medina and Tim Sheldon of Potlatch — ambled across the partisan aisle a year ago and united with those Republicans to form the Majority Coalition Caucus.

And the coalition may be adding another member if Rep. Jan Angel, R-Port Orchard, unseats Sen. Nathan Schlicher, D-Gig Harbor, in Tuesday’s election. Angel led after the first night of balloting.

Biery said if elected she wants to pick up four seats in the state Senate in the 2014 elections. She said she’ll look to win in every corner of the state using a strategy of raising money to reinvest in the county party operations.

“We’ve got to get more people elected in rural places,” she said. “I know how hard it is for the little guys in the hinterland to do what they want and need to do.”

The holiday season

I

t’s that time of year again: We’ve entered the holiday season.

You thought the holidays just meant Christmastime? Nope.

They started as soon as the first leaf fell off a tree.

That leaf meant it was fall. Ah, fall. It brings the return of pumpkin spice lattes, football season, a new school year (I don’t celebrate that last one) …and, of course, Halloween. After Halloween comes Thanksgiving, and before you know it, it’s Christmas and you’re surrounded by singing reindeer.

Let’s be real here – the holidays are great, but they’re not about the holidays. Most people who celebrate Halloween don’t have a clue where it came from.

Christmas used to be a religious holiday, but now it’s centered on buying presents so that people know you love them. Thanksgiving came from the pilgrims, but what happens after our day of being thankful? Black Friday, where Americans everywhere storm shopping malls with a frenzied need to buy things.

I’m not saying the holidays are bad. I like Fina Short pumpkin spice lattes as much as the next person. But when the first Christmas catalog arrived at my house ridiculously early, I had to wonder what the point of it all is. I mean, think about all the presents you’ve ever been given for Christmas. Unless you got a kitten, has anything actually made you happier? (Personally, the blue rubber duck I got in my stocking last year has really impacted my life.)

In the end, whether it was an iPhone, a new camera, or a pair of shoes – it’s just a thing. And things don’t matter. Brand-name sneakers won’t make you a runner, and simply buying notecards won’t make you more organized at learning vocab; you’ll probably still put it off until you have to learn every word the night before the final exam. But I digress.

What I’m trying to say is, this year make your holidays about the celebration itself, not about trying to buy your way to happiness. Eventually, the memories are what really matter. (Besides kittens. If you get a kitten, forget this entire article and go pet that little thing.)

Who is to blame for shutdown?

Unless terribly mistaken, we live in a democracy with a Constitution that requires a division of power within the federal government. The House of Representatives creates spending decisions based on its opinions and forwards them to the Senate that accepts or rejects provisions based on members' opinions.

The House voted appropriations for spending that covered everything needed to run our current government except health care. The Senate chose not to accept any part.

So, who is at fault?

There are enough funds and taxes coming in to federal coffers to pay for current obligations, our current debt, and no reason for a shutdown or default. The fight is over new debt. Nothing new here. It has happened before.

Basically we have a Senate acting as spoiled children, leaving “We The People” with more hardship, a sluggish economy, citizens and foreign governments with little faith in U.S, and a dysfunctional government.

The recent news Boeing is intending to transfer much of the 777X engineering work should be a warning to our state’s leaders. The engineering efforts I spent 30 of my 36 years there involving the engine nacelles will apparently be done elsewhere. One can debate what caused the change and it’s unlikely anything can be done to prevent it.

However, the current efforts to convince Boeing to build the -X composite wing here are not “helped” by Gov. Inslee’s recent announcement for plans to reduce CO2 emissions in our state. Doing so will significantly increase energy costs, a major contributor to the cost of any composite structure, let alone a massive wing. This surely weighs against Boeing fabricating it here.

Unfortunately most of us won’t have that “flexibility” to relocate. What’s absurd is our state’s efforts will have a minuscule affect on atmospheric CO2 levels whose increase

Community support helps market The Bellevue Farmers Market celebrated 10 years this season and we kicked off our Saturday Market with a big move to the main pedestrian corridor on Northeast Sixth Street.

The market is only sustainable with community support and we are thankful for all who generously contributed to our success: The city of Bellevue, council and staff including councilmembers John Stokes and Kevin Wallace, King County councilmember Jane Hague, Sterling Realty Organization, PACCAR, Bellevue Arts Museum, Galleria, and California Pizza Kitchen that provided utilities required by the county for our operation.

As we wrap up the season (the Saturday market closes Nov. 23) we are especially thankful to David Schooler of SRO for making it possible to provide free parking for our customers in the final weeks of the season. Thank you everyone for supporting local food, farms, businesses and community.

Enatai article misleading The recent article on the South Bellevue East Link station was misleading.

The article said that “Residents in the Enatai neighborhood fought against light rail...”. While it is true that some did so, at least as many, including myself, fought for light rail. Yard signs in about equal numbers representing both sides of the issue decorated Enatai for many months.

I object to the article making it seem like Enatai spoke with a single voice on this highly controversial issue.

Eastside Rail Corridor report gets approval A project to extend Northeast Fourth Street in Bellevue, where the city will pull up rail and lower the rail bed where a portion of the old Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line once was and develop an overcrossing, is expected to temporarily close the corridor. The report encourages continued coordination with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the city of Bellevue, to plan for such impacts to the corridor and find ways to continue use of the ERC during construction projects.

Throughout the report, the Regional Advisory Council highlights the need to integrate the corridor into adjacent communities to improve access to employment centers, utilities, neighborhoods, trail systems, parks and recreation and transportation systems that includes East Link.

“It is inspiring to think about how this corridor will play a huge role in the region’s future by linking people and communities to the places where they work and play, and by supporting essential utility uses." said Christie True, RAC Co-Chair and Director of King County's Department of Natural Resources and Parks, in a news releases. “I commend our partners for seizing the unique regional and local opportunities the corridor offers for mobility and quality of life, and I am excited about King County’s work already under way to address several of the RAC’s recommendations.”

Fifth and sixth-graders at Bellevue’s Temple B’nai Torah, along with parents and community members from the muslim community who participate in the Together We Build program, work to glean 2,400 pounds of fresh food. All was donated to Northwest Harvest. The annual project is coordinated by Bellevue’s Stuart Rosen. Stocker Farms in Snohomish County opened their field to the gleaners and over the past several years Northwest Harvest has been able to offer healthy, fresh, locally grown food to their clients.

Habib named progressive leader Washington state Rep. Cyrus Habib has been named one of 12 rising leaders from across the country to join the NewDEAL, a national network that highlights innovative ideas from state and local elected

leaders who are pro-growth progressives.

Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland and U.S. Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska, honorary chairs of the NewDEAL, recognized Habib’s efforts to grow the economy by connecting start-ups with better access to investments, simpler rules and a skilled workforce.

The Eastside Rail Corridor Regional Advisory Council unanimously approved a report supporting cooperative planning among corridor owners on Tuesday, Oct. 29.

The report recommends how to proceed forward with future use of the Eastside Rail Corridor, identifying a regional policy framework for decision making along the corridor and setting a vision for the ERC as development, transportation and trail system improvements continue.

“Transit riders’ first benefits from this corridor will come in 2023 when Sound Transit opens the East Link light rail extension from Seattle to Bellevue and Overlake,” said Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl in a Halloween news release. “The longer-term potential is also exciting. The process that Sound Transit just launched to update the regional transit Long-Range Plan will give the public a chance to help explore options.”

The report cites constraints within the corridor, but also highlights opportunities for improvements. Bellevue, located along the corridor's main line, will see significant change with the East Link light rail project, including Sound Transit's Hospital Station, which is funded and in design. The city is also being considered for an operations and maintenance satellite facility for handling Sound Transit's increased fleet once light rail is connected from Seattle to Bellevue and Overlake.

Now in its 18th year, the annual fundraiser was the organization’s most successful to date, helping provide funds to help tens of thousands of local at-risk families and individuals.

During the luncheon, more than 1,500 people heard keynote speaker Mark Kennedy Shriver share stories about his father, Sargent Shriver, and talk about faith, hope, love and the role Hopelink plays in the community.

“The work Hopelink does every day, the work they do on a daily basis, are really acts of hope and acts of love,” Shriver said.

Village Theatre brings Les Misérables to stage Classic story one of biggest ever presented

BY DANIEL NASH DNASH@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

"Les Misérables" is perhaps one of the oldest and most epically sweeping stories in musical history. Based on the 19th Century novel by Victor Hugo, the story of a French ex-convict’s search for redemption covers decades and numerous locations throughout Paris and its outlying towns. First showing in France in 1980, the adaptation has been consistently popular for more than 30 years; and now it’s playing in Issaquah’s acclaimed Village Theatre.

“It’s one of the biggest shows we, as a theater, have ever tried,” director Steve Tomkins said. “We have a (14-piece) pit orchestra performing one of the greatest scores among musicals. In addition we have a revolving set… there are many different set locations in the show. There’s 40 scene changes in Act One alone, and 20 in Act Two. A character says a few lines and we’re somewhere else. They sing a song, and then we’re somewhere else again.”

Village Theatre’s production of “Les Misérables” opened Thursday. The the-

ater will produce consecutive nine-week runs in Issaquah and Everett before the Broadway revival begins in March and the window on off-Broadway productions closes.

Tomkins has waited a long time for that window to open. In 1993, he directed stage actor Greg Jones as the titular character

in “Jesus Christ Superstar.” He found the recent college graduate to be a talented and energetic performer, but it was three years later, when he watched Stone as Jean Valjean in a traveling production of “Les Mis” – Stone also played the role on Broadway – that he knew he wanted to repeat the casting in a local showing.

“‘Les Mis’ takes a special kind of performer to play Jean Valjean,” Tomkins said. “It’s a role that goes from a baritone to a screaming tenor, so you need a singer with a remarkable voice. And he just has an amazing stage presence.”

Obtaining the rights to a popular stage show can be tricky business. A production can have exclusive show rights when it debuts on Broadway – as will be the case when the latest revival begins in March – and a touring show will preclude productions by stationary theaters in the regions where it stops. Village Theatre could not have performed Les Mis in 2012, when a tour stopped in Seattle.

“We knew it probably would become available in 2013,” Tomkins said. “So we contacted the licensing agency and found out the rights would indeed be available.”

Planning has taken “at least a year,” he said. In addition to the set changes, virtually every actor outside the core cast plays multiple roles, adding up to more than 200 costume changes over three hours.

The core cast includes local performer Beth DeVries as Fantine, Eric Jensen as Inspector Javert, Victoria Ames Smith and Alexandra Zorn as Cosette, and Nick DeSantis as Thenardier.

YES celebrates longtime commitment to health of youth

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Youth Eastside Services' mission is as critical for at-risk youth today as it was 45 years ago, says founding member Dr. Lee Vincent, who on Nov. 1 thanked the King County communities who continue to support its cause.

YES started out in Bellevue in 1968 after five couples decided to do something about the growing problem of drug and alcohol abuse at that time. Not only were the youth in Bellevue partying with drugs and alcohol, Vincent said, but they were also misinformed and in need of education.

Vincent remembers and fondly tells the story of how pharmacist and fellow founding member Phil Nudelman called him 45 years ago about a teen seeking advice about injecting himself with peanut butter as a way to get high.

With the help of Bellevue Community College and the police chief at the time, YES started out in the basement of the First Congregational Church in Lake Hills first as Heads Up, which dealt with the problem of marijuana use.

“It evolved very quickly,” said Vincent, and soon volunteers were being sent out into the community to deal with youths having bad trips. “Mostly LSD, they had some really bad experiences.”

YES grew out of the church and several locations after that, and continues to grow to this day. It opened its new Bellevue location on Northeast Eighth Street in the Crossroads area in 2008 using $10.8 million in community funding. YES also has expanded in King County to include offices in Kirkland and Redmond.

The site of the first YES location in Bellevue.

Youth Eastside Services co-founder Dr. Lee Vincent addresses a crowd at the nonprofit’s Bellevue location during its founders day celebration on Nov. 1. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter The nonprofit serves more than 4,500 clients every year and sees up to 250 new clients in any given month, said Cami Keyes, YES spokeswoman. With 18 counselors and 30 interns, YES provides numerous programs focused on teen mental health and substance abuse, which Vincent said long ago was perceived as connected. There are also programs to assist teens struggling with sexual identity and young mothers with ensuring proper childhood development.

“Everybody gets the help they need regardless of a parent's ability to pay,” Keyes

said. “We started as a community organization and we are still supported by the community to this day.”

YES is on track to raise $1.2 million in donations for operations. However, that represents just one-third of its annual expenses. Since the recession in 2008, the nonprofit has become more self-sufficient as local governments have had to tighten their budgets.

“We've had some extremely fine, very generous people who have made this possible,” said Vincent of YES's longevity, “and we will be forever thankful to them.”

Vincent delivered his message of thanks and continued need for YES services during the organization's founders day celebration on Nov. 1 at the nonprofit's Bellevue location. He was joined by city representatives from Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond, King County Councilor Jane Hague, former clients telling their stories and successes and YES Executive Director Patti Skelton-McGougan.

"It's really hard to go back and look at what would have happened to these teens had this organization not existed," said Skelton-McGougan.

Alisa Clark came to YES 17 years ago, and overcame five years of sexual abuse that ended with her father's suicide, she told the Friday gathering. Her mother and siblings followed suit, and Clark graduated from college in 2006 and now runs her own business. Her entire family benefitted from the aid it received from YES. "As you can see from our own firsthand experience, YES works," Clark said. "YES is more than just a resource, it's a life source."

The event was free, however, donations were very much encouraged and could be given to a specific talent or in someone's name. Last year they were able raise about $4,000, so this year they raised the goal to $6,000.

“I am a long-time donor and it's completely changed my life,” said Sally Leist, a Capernaum committee volunteer.

But organizers and audience members made it clear that the event means so much more than money.

Bellevue, Issaquah, and Sammamish joined forces last Saturday to raise over $6,000 to support Young Life's Capernaum, a local, youth ministry devoted to serving the needs of those with physical and development disabilities.

The event, “6 Grand Talent Show,” was held at the Foursquare Church in Bellevue and gave Capernaum members the opportunity to publicly display their talents.

Danny Kesl, director of Issaquah/Sammamish Capernaum, explained how the idea transpired.

“It kind of started as just one of the things on the calendar,” he said. “It was a small market thing as just a way for everyone to have fun.”

Four years ago, they decided to take it a step further.

“We were like, 'let's get them on stage and share it with the community,' ” Kesl said, explaining how there are so many instances where people with disabilities don't get to be on stage and share their gifts.

After noticing how many people turned out for the event year after year, Capernaum decided to turn the talent show into a fundraiser.

A volunteer-run organization, Capernaum staff said this is their favorite event of the year.

“This is what our volunteers get most fired up for because we can see we're not the only ones who love seeing these people thrive,” Kesl said.

Leist explained how the event is just as much for the families as it is for the participants.

“Families that raise special need kids – it's very intensive.

They work hard their entire lives,” she said. “We want to let them know they don't have to do everything. They're supported.”

One participant's mother said the encouragement means everything, to her and her daughter.

“In the normal world, she isn't much of a rockstar,” she said. “But here, she's the biggest one.”

Kesl said the most important part of the event is the participants being able to hear the applause coming from the audience. And that applause was plentiful, as more than 100 people packed the church.

“This is the only time in the whole year they get to be spotlighted like this in front of this many people,” said Scott Nelson, associate director of Issaquah/Sammamish Capernaum. “It's huge.”

The acts were split up by category, ranging from comedy to show-and-tell.

One Capernaum member sang “Amazing Grace” with such beauty it brought the audience to tears. Another rocked out to “Life is a Highway.” After each category was finished performing, they were asked to come line-up on stage where they received an autographed $1 bill from talent scout “Ricky Dorn”, also known as Marshall Jamieson, the area director for all of Young Life.

Although attendance was half of what last year’s, the event brought in $6,371.

One participant, Grace, who played the cello, took her dollar bill and immediately placed it in the donation basket.

Wine company getting better with age

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

With the Seattle Wine Company’s 10-year anniversary coming up, owners Nabil and Karen Absi decided it was time to make their vision for what they wanted the store to be a decade ago a reality.

By bringing its spread out inventory together using recycled wine boxes to create new shelving, Nabil Absi said his store at 1950 130th Ave. N.E. can expand its inventory by 27 percent.

Ed Paulsen of Quality Wood Service of Bellevue handled the construction during the five-day renovation, and Absi said he’s pleased with what came out.

“I had the design in my mind,” said Absi. “He engineered the whole thing. …

All of these are custom-made to perfection.”

As big box stores seem to be pushing out local, specialty boutiques, Absi said sales at the Seattle Wine Company are up 22-26 percent from this same time last year, and he credits quality prices and a familial atmosphere for the store’s success.

The Absis recently brought their son, Alex French, into the business.

French recently spent a harvest season in New Zealand working for Saint Clair

Nabil and Karen Absi, with son Alex French, are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their store, Seattle Wine Company, this month. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter Family Estate Wines.

“We’re all about family,” said Absi. “If they don’t get it from Karen, they’ll get it from me or Alex.”

Nov. 19 marks the Seattle Wine Company’s 10-year anniversary and the store will celebrate noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 8 with a champagne wine tasting where 35-40

houses of champagne will be introduced.

Absi said a growler bar was also added during the remodel as local brewers are also providing quality beer customers crave for their craftsmanship.

“They need the right to rise and shine like all of these wines,” he said.

What big box stores lack as they expand their own wine selections, Absi said, is the quality.

He and his wife hand-select their products after sampling many vintages, and also provide a place for wineries to showcase their wines rather than “getting lost in the shuffle” of large retailers.

“We tasted every day over 25 to 40 wines,” said Absi, sometimes picking a few and sometimes choosing none. “That’s one passion that you cannot buy it and you cannot find it unless you are in it.”

It took 10 years to get the store the way they wanted, but the Absis are ready for the next 10 years of business.

The Seattle Wine Company will celebrate its 10-year anniversary earlier than December, started offering 10 wines at just above cost Thursday that will run through Nov. 18.

Absi said they also expect a big run on business for Black Friday, and will offer sales at 50-75 percent off.

Bellevue girls punch state ticket on course, Saints’ qualify trio

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue girls cross country team will have a full complement of runners at the 3A state meet after a fourth place finish at the Sea-King District meet at Lake Washington State Park Oct. 31.

Sophomore Katherine Penner was the highest individual finisher for the Wolverines in 10th place, running a time of 19 minutes, 22.65 seconds. Teammate Camille Moore ran a personal record 19:39.23 to finish 15th and Casey Jacobson was 19th in 19:45.09.

Interlake senior Nikita Waghani ran 19:04.07 to finish in fifth place and claim her spot in Pasco in her final district race as a prep.

“State is always the highlight of not just cross country, but the year,” she said. “I’m really excited.”

Waghani has made the trip to state in

all four of her seasons with the Saints, finishing 36th as a freshman in the 2A race in 2010 before running what is still her personal record time in the 5,000 meters, 18:51, as a sophomore.

She was 48th as Interlake rejoined the 3A ranks last season and now finds herself among the state’s best for one final race.

“My coach basically gave me this plan,” she said. “I just have to race as hard as I can every second, have that positive focus and move ahead.”

Bellevue sophomore Sophie French ran a personal best 20:12.06 and was 33rd, and teammate Claire Wendle also earned a record time of 20:31.90. Grace Sheeran was 39th and Elizabeth Andrews 57th as the Wolverines finished in front of Mercer Island for the fourth and final team spot to state.

CROSS COUNTRY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

Liberty took the team title, with Lakeside in second and Holy Names in third. The Lions from Seattle had the top two finishers, champion Andrea Masterson, a junior, who ran 18:01.57 to finish in front of freshman Sophie Cantine.

Saints qualify two boys Three points was all that separated the Interlake boys and the opportunity to take a full team to the state cross country meet, as the Saints finished

www.BellevueReporter.com just three points behind Liberty in fifth place.

Sophomore Luke Beauchamp and junior Alex Doran each earned individual spots in Pasco, while senior Kyle Van Draanen, despite running a personal record time of 16:24.08, finished 21st and only 15-hundredths of a second off 20th place and the final individual spot.

Beauchamp’s time of 16:06.93 was good enough for a personal record and 10th place finish and Doran also ran his best time in the 5,000 meters, 16:21.63, to end the race in 17th and keep his season alive for one final race.

Bellevue finished sixth in the team scoring and will send only one to Pas-

co in senior Kyle Pratt, who finished in 16:18.32 to claim 12th place.

Senior Graham Wendle ran a personal record of 16:26.39, but finished just two spots away from a state berth.

Jacob Feinman was 26th for the Wolverines and Aaron Smith 29th.

Interlake senior Joseph Pooley ran a personal record 16:43.79 to finish 28th.

Nathan Hale won the team scoring going away from Seattle Prep.

Joe Hardy, a senior and last year’s 3A state champion, won the individual title for the Panthers in 15:41.53.

The 3A state cross country meet is Nov. 9 at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

The people we all count on . . . count on a reliable power grid “In the event of a large-scale emergency or regional disaster, it is crucial that we have the ability to respond to a high volume of critically ill or injured patients. We must have power available to meet the immediate demands of our emergency, surgical, intensive care, and communication and records systems in order to provide quality medical care to the people of this community.”

Dr. Tom Miller Emergency Physician and Chief of Staff Overlake Hospital Medical Center

DEMAND FOR POWER WILL EXCEED CAPACITY BY 2017 The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washington State. But there is a hidden consequence to this growth: Projections show that demand for reliable electricity will exceed system capacity as early as 2017. Without substantial infrastructure upgrades, our electric transmission lines will be unable to provide dependable power.

CONSERVATION ALONE ISN’T ENOUGH Over the past few decades, PSE has taken significant steps to squeeze every watt out of our electric system through our nationally recognized conservation programs. However, even doubling the Eastside conservation will not create the capacity we need to match economic growth. Conservation will always be a critical part of our energy future, but only a part.

UPGRADES TO KEEP PACE WITH EASTSIDE GROWTH At PSE, we are confident that with the right upgrades, our power grid can keep pace with the Eastside’s dramatic growth. Over the next several months, we will partner with local communities and talk with our customers to identify solutions that best serve the Eastside.
