Candidates will meet with the public during a reception from 7-9 p.m. Friday at City Hall, 450 110th Ave. N.E., Bellevue.

Comment cards will be available for public feedback to the City Council, which may approve moving forward with an employment contract as soon as Monday.

The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce has come out in opposition to King County Proposition No. 1 on the April 22 special election ballot, favoring instead that Washington lawmakers pass a statewide transportation funding package.

The Legislature passed a supplemental budget before adjourning its session March 13, but left key issues like education, marijuana reform and a transportation package unresolved. The package was anticipated to fund Eastside projects that included completion of the new SR-520 floating bridge — without tolling the I-90 bridge — an SR-167/I-405 interchange project and adding HOT Lanes on I-405 from Bellevue

to Renton.

A transportation benefit district created by the King County Council is expected to fill a $75 million funding gap for public transportation, and Prop 1 is the funding measure voters will decide during this month's special election. The measure includes a $60 car-tab fee, a one-tenth of a cent sales tax and a bus fare of $1.25 for low-income riders.

Chamber board members voted Monday to oppose Prop 1, stating in a news release that transit service in Bellevue will not be improved by approving the proposed tax.

The chamber also is concerned the local funding measure for public transit will take SEE CHAMBER, 16

Undercover prostitution sting by Bellevue Police, sheriff’s deputies nets two felons

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A joint sting operation by Bellevue Police and the King County Sheriff 's Office to address complaints about increased prostitution at area hotels led to the arrest of one man alleged to have committed 16 robberies in the Puget Sound region and another man accused of being a prolific identity thief.

Focusing on reducing demand in sex trafficking, detectives posted online ads for prostitution services to draw in men seeking adult and underage prostitutes, according to a Bellevue Police news release.

Thirty Bellevue officers and sheriff 's deputies participated in the sting operation over the weekend of March 26, which netted 10 arrests.

Among them was 24-year-old Seattle man who agreed to meet an undercover detective posing as a prostitute at a Bellevue hotel. Officers observed the man in the parking lot and arrested him after he was identified as being possibly armed.

Police report the man admitted he planned to use a black airsoft pistol and fixed-blade knife found on his person to rob the undercover officer. He later admitted to 16 additional robberies in the Puget Sound region over the past four months.

He was booked into the King County Jail for first-degree robbery and is being held on $500,000 bail.

Police arrested a 24-year-old Lynwood man at the hotel, who reportedly provided officers with a stolen ID, assaulted an officer and attempted to run away in

handcuffs. He was booked into the King County Jail and is being held on $100,000 bail pending charges.

He is reportedly suspected of committing several felonies in the Puget Sound area, including eluding officers in a stolen vehicle and a number of identity theft cases.

“This operation demonstrates that

prostitution is not a victimless crime, and is often associated with other criminal activity, including dangerous felonies," said Bellevue Police Lt. Lisa Patricelli in a statement. "Because of this operation, two dangerous felons are off our streets.”

Canvassers to educate residents about pet licensing Canvassers with King County Animal Services will start making the rounds in Bellevue on April 5 to educate residents about a requirement that all cats and dogs eight weeks and older be licensed.

Bellevue contracts with King County for animal services, which is paid for through pet licensing. No one found without a licensed pet will be cited during canvassing, which is expected to last through October, but 30-day temporary licenses will be issued.

Licenses may be purchased at Bellevue City Hall, the Crossroads mini-City Hall,

Aerowood Animal Hospital and all QFC stores. Licenses can be purchased online at kingcounty.gov/pets.

Pet licensing allows owners to be reunited with lost animals, earns lost pets a free ride home when found and funds shelter care, dangerous and nuisance animal responses and investigating cases of reported animal cruelty or neglect.

Questions or concerns should be directed to Sandy Jones, King County pet license canvassing coordinator, at 206205-6167 or sandy.jones@kingcounty. gov.

The Bellevue Police Foundation honored retiring Police Chief Linda Pillo for her 28 years of service to the city during its fundraising breakfast on Thursday, March 27, the proceeds of which are slated for grants to add to the department's arsenal of provided services and advancements in policing technology.

Since its creation in 2009, the foundation has provided more than $360,000 in grants to aid the city's police department, said Deputy Chief Mike Johnson, who is also the latest addition to its board of directors.

The foundation recently funded the purchase of night-vision equipment that aided officers in arresting a suspect in as many as 14 armed robberies in the city the day prior to the foundation breakfast, said Johnson.

Thermal equipment purchased through a foundation grant also allowed SWAT members to track the movements of a suspect during the execution of a search warrant in Renton, he said. Using the equipment, Johnson said officers were able to track the person's movements as they hid in the attic.

The former director of King County Adult and Juvenile Detention, Mayor Claudia Balducci said the Bellevue Police Department had been one of the best law enforcement agencies to work with during her time in that position.

"When you're in Bellevue, you know you're in a safe community, and we owe it to our dedicated men and women in law enforcement," said Balducci.

While the foundation breakfast focused mainly on advancing the abilities of the police department, all speakers couldn't go without addressing Pillo's retirement. Her final day will be April 15. The city has not yet announced an interim chief to head the department until a new city manager can hire a permanent replacement.

Pillo started her career in law enforcement with the Mercer Island Police Department in 1979, and joined Bellevue Police in 1986. She became the city's first female police chief in 2008. Foundation President Jim Karambelas presented Pillo with a gift from the foundation to thank her for her service.

Karambelas said it’s not just funds that the foundation provides, but community outreach that allows Bellevue officers more time to tackle tough cases, "so that we can enjoy the safe community that we all live in with our children." As criminals continue to take advantage of new technology, the foundation will continue its efforts to keep the department up with the latest in crimefighting equipment, he said.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board on Wednesday approved how a lottery for issuing highly sought after marijuana retail licenses will occur this month with sales potentially starting in July.

With more than 2,000 retail applications to the board, a lottery is required to determine who will receive the 334 licenses allowed in the state. The city of Bellevue is allowed four pot stores, but more than 50 applications were received by the WSLCB. The city has put in place an interim zoning ordinance, which conforms with the state and allows retail in 13 different zones.

However, growing and processing may only occur within light industrial zones.

The lottery will be a double-blind, independent process that the liquor control board will use to draft an ordered list of applicants to continue the licensing process. The board will post this list for each jurisdiction in the public records section of

its website on May 2.

Being ranked as a successful applicant does not guarantee licensure, according to the WSLCB, which began prequalifying applicants in late February. It reports about 25 percent of applicants failed to return required documents related to criminal history, age, state residency and that they have real property in which to open their stores. Of those returned, 2050 percent were incomplete and disqualified.

The liquor control board also has drafted rules that would prevent any such business from opening within 1,000 feet of a school, park, transit hub, child care center, playground, library, arcade center and collective gardens, which the city likewise adopted in its interim ordinance.

Licenses are expected to be issued by the first week of July and in 10-20 batches within major population areas.

Waiting, preparing for our own big disaster

BY MARK KLAAS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

I

s the Puget Sound region — home to more than 4.5 million people — adequately prepared for a disaster?

Such questions concern Dr. Stephen Flynn of Northeastern University, a professor and one of the world’s experts on disaster resilience.

Flynn recently visited Seattle to talk with local leaders about the region’s readiness for a catastrophic event. Flynn says Puget Sound area leaders are paying attention to the warning signs, but concludes the region and notably its residents are no more fully prepared to deal with a disaster than are other parts of the country.

“Your emergency management community is about as on top of it as anywhere in our country,” Flynn said. “(But) your area, like much of the country, is not where it needs to be.

“The reality is … that the first-responders are almost always your family, your neighbor or the stranger near you.

There’s not enough professionals around,” Flynn said.

Flynn said he believes the lessons learned from SuperStorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina can help our region better prepare for such an event.

But it remains a challenge. It’s not a matter of “if ” disaster strikes but when, Flynn says.

“It will happen. We will have a major disaster in the Puget Sound area. It is almost certainly going to be a major earthquake,” he said.

The Seattle region is a global leader in technology and advanced manufacturing, as well as a major military hub that depends on the reliable operation of critical infrastructures in the energy, transportation, communications and IT sectors. “(For instance) Seattle and Tacoma are the umbilical cord to Alaska in terms of all its logistical needs,” he said.

“If you get knocked down, then Alaska will feel it.”

But, in the aftermath of a disaster, we somehow recover.

Legislature

Will Inslee wield veto pen?

A

s Gov. Jay Inslee prepares to sign a revised state budget, he’s getting pressed to veto a few of its provi-

sions.

The governor is expected to act today on the agreement for state spending through mid-2015 that passed overwhelmingly in the House and by a nearly unanimous 47-1 margin in the Senate.

Since the day after those votes, Inslee has been urged to use his red pen to remove sections dealing with Jerry Cornfield a nuclear energy task force, rescind a cleaning out of funds for life science research and erase a requirement for more savings at community colleges through Lean management.

Four Democratic lawmakers — Reps.

Gerry Pollet and Jessyn Farrell of Seattle, Rep. Cindy Ryu of Shoreline and Sen. Marko Liias of south Everett — want the governor to get rid of Sections 101 and 102 creating a task force to consider the long-term potential of nuclear energy.

?

Question of the week: “ Have you donated anything to the Oso mudslide victims?”

They point out lawmakers rejected a bill to do pretty much what the proviso does. They contend any look into the value of nuclear energy should be done by the Climate Legislative and Executive Work Group on which Inslee serves.

“I have concerns about the cost and safety and viability of nuclear energy,” Liias said. Examining only the potential of nuclear energy and not other renewable resources “doesn’t make sense,” he said.

Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, sponsored the legislation that didn’t pass. He said it is “silliness” to ignore the potential of nuclear power as a cleaner source of energy than oil and gas.

He hopes Inslee “understands nuclear is going to play a role in carbon reduction in the future. To ignore it is simply silly.”

There is another factor Inslee must consider, Ericksen said. Inclusion of the task force is one-half of a deal reached in the Senate and embedded in the final budget.

The other half is $300,000 for a study on how oil shipments move through the state. This report is to analyze risks of SEE CORNFIELD, 5

Proposition 1 the wrong option for Bellevue: vote ‘no’

BY TOM SULEWSKI

T

he Bellevue Chamber, along with other chambers of commerce in Washington, has advocated persistently for a statewide transportation package. Our businesses need bus transit service, but they also need investments in infrastructure and planned capital projects on SR-520, I-405, and I-90. Proposition 1 on the April 22 ballot would undercut momentum that exists in Olympia for a statewide transportation package.

Proposition 1 partially props up bus transit needs in King County for the short term and undermines the long term transportation improvements Bellevue and the entire Eastside badly needs, namely the completion of SR-520 and funding for congestion-relieving capital projects on I-405.

Prop 1 proposes a $60 annual vehicle fee and would increase

oil transportation and recommend steps for improving public safety.

Democrats requested this study after they could not get an oil transportation safety bill passed this session. Erickson suggested that if the nuclear energy task force is at risk of veto, so too should be the study.

A whole slew of people are asking Inslee to intercede to preserve the Life Science Discovery Fund. Budget writers transferred $20 million into the general fund, effectively emptying it out.

This transfer is why Liias cast the lone dissenting Senate vote on the budget.

the sales tax by 0.1 percent, raising the rate to 9.6 percent in many communities including Bellevue, the highest in the state.

The vast majority of Eastside employees and employers commute to and from work, and places in-between, on I-405. In 2010, there were nearly 300,000 daily trips on I-405 between Bellevue and Renton. By 2030, that number will be more than 650,000. Proposition 1 does nothing to relieve congestion on I-405. Similarly, it won’t fund the completion of SR-520. Instead, it would take precious tax monies to maintain status quo bus service and administer only $3.48 million to Bellevue for transportation improvements.

Our organization has voiced forceful support for the expansion of bus transit in Bellevue and throughout the I-405 corridor to help relieve congestion and connect the busiest

He said every dollar invested in life science research attracts additional dollars in federal grants and private investment. The investments lead to medical discoveries, health care innovation and the launch of new businesses, he said.

“I don’t think we’ll generate the same benefit to taxpayers if we shut down the fund,” he said.

Meanwhile, a provision calling for community colleges to rack up another $10 million in savings through “Lean Management Strategies” is giving presidents a headache.

Inslee has not indicated how he’ll act on these requests. It won’t be long before the answer is known.

“I can always find things that I wished we had done up front to basically reduce the mayhem that was caused. But I often marvel at our capacity to work our way through these things and get back on our feet,” Flynn said. “My message is we just try to do both. We should spend equal measure and efforts to anticipate and prepare and reduce the cost of these events as well as pat ourselves on the back about how quickly we bounce back.”

Beyond the professional community, residents need to take more personal responsibility in emergency preparedness.

“They will almost certainly happen,” Flynn said of disasters, man-made or natural. “We just hope they don’t happen tomorrow.”

employment centers of the Eastside. We continue to advocate for the construction of more Eastside park-and-ride facilities. Proposition 1 will not expand bus service in Bellevue nor construct any additional park-and-ride facilities. If Proposition 1 were to pass, registered car owners in Bellevue would contribute approximately $5.7 million in tax monies in 2015 but see no increase in bus service. Clearly the costs outweigh the benefits.

According to the Municipal League, and other respected community organizations, King County Metro’s financial model is unsustainable. More money for unsustainable transit service does nothing to create sustainability. Metro received additional tax revenue in 2000, 2006, 2010, and 2011. None of that additional revenue made Metro’s operations sustainable and Proposition 1 will not, either.

Bellevue’s bus transit needs are growing and efficiencies in the system are needed to allow for continued growth. The Chamber supports raising the gas tax in order to fund infrastructure and capital improvements and provide local transit options, but the Chamber must oppose Proposition 1.

An injection of revenue is badly needed to breathe life into aging Eastside transportation infrastructure, complete capital projects that will relieve congestion, and move employers, employees, and goods more easily throughout the entire Eastside. The proposed Proposition 1 tax increase does not expand bus service or construct additional parkand-ride facilities and jeopardizes a state transportation funding plan vital to our members. We urge a No vote on Proposition 1.

The transportation improvement program recommendations go to City Council for review and possible approval during its May 19 session.

Bandage Ball raises $1 million

Nearly 1,000 people crowded into the Bellevue Hyatt’s Grand Ballroom on March 29 to attend Overlake Medical Center’s 2014 Bandage Ball gala and auction and raised nearly $1 million to help fund a new, $15 million comprehensive, state-of-the-art cancer center.

“This year’s Bandage Ball was hugely successful and exceeded our expectations,” said Molly Stearns, Overlake’s vice president of fund development and executive director of the foundation and auxiliaries. “We are eternally grateful for the continuing support of this generous community and are committed to ensuring our patients receive the best possible care here at Overlake.”

The new center will reconfigure cancer outpatient services for more seamless coordinated care, expand integrative and supportive services, enhance Overlake’s focus on patient-centered care and increase the hospital’s capacity to meet the growing needs of the Eastside community.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes

PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy.

In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.

While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

Two views on BSD projects More than a month after voter passage of its capital projects bond, the Bellevue School District must figure out a timeline for its funded renovations.

At Tuesday night’s school board meeting, a teacher and PTSA president urged the board to reconsider expansion of Woodridge Elementary and maintain a home for the Jing Mei dual language school, respectively.

Woodridge Elementary is already one of two schools identified to receive additional capacity, but teacher Allison Snow put forward in public comment that the need to keep the school size manageable — population-wise — was pressing. Snow was at the meeting representing a number of teachers on the elementary campus, she said.

“We are currently well over capacity at our building,” Snow said. “Our band and orchestra meets in the cafeteria, our music teacher teaches on the stage, our art room is crammed into a tiny space. We’ve also hired almost 25 percent new staff this year and the impacts of that are just kind of beginning to be seen.

“We all noticed that increasing capacity at Woodridge was part of (the) projected plan and a number of us would like to strongly discourage you from that plan.”

Snow said that an increase in staff has led to more meetings and less administrator

familiarity with students. Current capacity had negatively impacted music programs, the library and the special education program, she said.

Bellewood, the campus where dual language elementary school Jing Mei relocated at the beginning of the 2013 school year, is not scheduled for renovation. But Bellevue Mandarin Dual Language PTSA president Melissa Taylor said parents were concerned about the site being used to house Enatai Elementary students starting in 2015, and what that would mean for Jing Mei students.

“The Jing Mei community is growing,” Taylor said. “We now have four full classrooms — that means 26 students in each class. And next year we will welcome three more kindergarten classes to Jing Mei Elementary. The community is embracing the Mandarin dual language model used at Jing Mei. We had a wonderful turnout for lottery and are able to appreciate the district was able to have us open a third kindergarten classroom.”

Taylor said parents appreciated the district’s K-12 commitment to the Chinese and English language school, but wanted some idea of its shape in the future.

“As one parent put it, ‘How many times will our children be moved around like checkers?’ ” Taylor said. “During our six years … we’ve been at Ardmore, and now we’re at Bellewood and we’re just wondering where we’ll be next.”

Understanding and Living with the Social and Emotional Needs of the Gifted Child Parent Education, Discussion & Support Group for parents of children ages 6-12

Parents of “highly capable” children are encouraged to participate in an 8-week series of discussion-oriented classes to explore the social and emotional needs of their children. This class follows the Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) curriculum, according to the book A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children by Webb/Gore.

SENG Parent Groups are structured to bring together 10 to 20 interested parents of gifted and talented children to discuss such topics as motivation, discipline, stress management, and peer relationships in a non-judgmental and nurturing atmosphere.

Eight classes on Wednesdays 6:30pm– 8:00pm starting April 23th, 30th, May 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, June 4th and 11th, 2014 Crossroads Mall Community Room, 15600 NE 8th Street, Bellevue, WA 98008 $90 per individual or $100 per couple for the 8-week series.

Developers ready to construct two downtown towers

Kemper Development requests helistop modification

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Hot on the heels of other developers, Trammel Crow and Schnitzer West are ready to begin constructing two highly anticipated office towers downtown.

Bellevue Office Tower Trammel Crow Northwest Development has been granted design review permit approval to demolish one existing building at 833 108th Ave. N.E., to make way for its 19-story Bellevue Office Tower, with a detached parking garage.

The tower will have main frontage along 108th with secondary frontage to be along a required midblock connector road — Northeast Ninth Place — to be completed by the Wasatch Development Company.

Design plans include a “lantern” feature within the glass portions of the exterior, stone highlights a two-story, vertical, decorative aluminum fins. Retail marquees will wrap around the tower at street level.

“By breaking down the overall building mass, the design provides an appearance of a proportionally slim building,” according to design documents. “The illuminated ‘lantern’ provides a dynamic addition to the Bellevue skyline and a unique architectural feature defining the building identity.”

The garage will be seven stories above grade with five

Kemper Development Company has requested a modification to its conditional use permit to add to the types of helicopters it can operate at its Bank of America building helistop.

City Council approved use of the helistop in May 2011, allowing up to five weekly operations — take-offs and landings — with only four allowed per weekday and one on Saturdays. Use of the helistop is prohibited on Sundays and legal holidays. The helistop became operational in December 2012, but has not reported any operations.

The original decision by council was based on the hearing examiner’s desire for safety precautions, said Helland, adding her decision will need to ensure safety continues to be preserved should a modification be made.

Casely and the Jank pioneer namesake ‘jank’ genre of pop

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

A musician originally from Bellevue is helping to pioneer a new subgenre of pop music with strong connections to yoga.

Scott Corbin, 29, is one half of the band Casely and the Jank, named for partner Casely (née Jean-Carlos Casely) and the so-named “jank” musical style.

“We were working in the studio and one of the musicians said ‘That sounds jank,’ ” Corbin said. “And we decided that was just the best description for it.”

So what is jank? It’s guitar-driven pop with with a mellow sound and influences from dance music, but the assignation of a specific musical style was made in retrospect, Corbin said.

“I’ve gotten consistent feedback from people saying it’s a very visual music, very cinematic Casely and the Jank, comprised of Miami musician Casely and Scott Corbin, originally from music in the sense that it tells a story,” Corbin Bellevue, released their debut EP “Brick: The Collection 2014” in January. said. “I was taken aback by that consistency of response, because those were things I hadn’t By the time he was a 19-year-old UniAngeles for recording sessions and I was necessarily considered about the songs.” versity of Central Florida student, he was able to network while I was still in school.”

their debut EP “Brick: The Collection 2014.”

That album is the first release, with plans to release further “collections” twice a year, on Jan. 1 and June 12. Working independently of a record label, everything will be distributed through digital online platforms like iTunes.

“The digital landscape is changing and we’re doing our best to change with it,” band manager Jeffrey Paul said.

Casely and the Jank has been able to reach listeners in 24 countries through the digital model, he said.

“There’s a young lady who wrote us, she was from the Ukraine,” Corbin said. “She found our music and she shared it with her art school. And she and the other students started listening to our collection while they painted.”

In what is a somewhat unorthodox strategy, the band has made their music freely available through YogaMoves, an app featuring Casely that guides beginners through yoga poses. Fitness is important to the band and they wanted their music to reflect that, Corbin said. The group’s music is currently played at the Black Dog Yoga studio in Los Angeles and they’re in unfinished talks to become involved with a cycling company.

But the message Corbin said he wants listeners to take out of the music is a sense of community. Growing up, he loved the music that came out of Seattle, like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.

“It’s important to me to be a part of that community again,” he said.

A retrospective on Joan Miró’s work at SAM

BY BRIAN MILLER SEATTLE WEEKLY

Three decades after his death, why has artist Joan Miró (1893–1983) receded more in popular memory, compared against his contemporary Pablo Picasso? Though he had shows at the MoMA in 1941 and the Guggenheim in 1972, and though he visited the States a few times, Miró kept close to his studio on the island of Majorca during the last two decades of his life; and that period provides the 50-plus works in the Seattle Art Museum’s traveling show Miró: The Experience of Seeing, launched from Madrid’s

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

The best things here are familiar: Miró’s large canvases in a few primary colors, hinting at natural forms (women, birds, constellations). These aren’t wholly abstract or purely expressive paintings, and their titles are strictly referential. The big dark blob of his 1977 Head, Bird may not suggest a bird on wing, but there’s the hint of a beak and a jittery, avian energy—like a bird on the ground, scampering for seeds. The contours are there, if not the exact shape, and that’s how Miró depicts women, too.

New to me, and I suspect to most visitors, are the cast-bronze sculptures Miró made

April 4, 2014 [11]

from found objects he gleaned on the beach and elsewhere on Majorca. They’re totemic, tabletop-sized objects that incorporate nails, baskets, an oven door, rakes, spoons, metal knobs, barrel hoops, and other detritus.

They correspond to Miró’s 1941 memo to himself to create “a truly phantasmagoric world of living monsters.”

Still, as with the paintings, there’s an impressive vitality for an artist working to the age of 90.

Son bests dad in Newport comeback

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

When Issaquah head baseball coach Rob Reese was inducted into the Hall of Fame during the past offseason, he talked about facing his son, Todd, on the diamond as a member of rival Newport.

“It’s an awkward feeling,” he said at the time, recalling an at bat from the 2013 season.

Wednesday, as the Eagles and Knights met in the latest installment of their rivalry on the diamond, things may have gotten slightly more uncomfortable.

Not only did Todd Reese get the start on the mound for Newport, going five innings and allowing four runs, three earned, on four base hits. With the game tied in the sixth inning, he delivered the game-winning RBI on a single to score Brian Setijono in a 5-4 win.

“It was probably the weirdest feeling I’ve had as a coach,”

Todd Reese, pictured above during a game against Roosevelt, faced his dad’s Eagles last week. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter Rob said. “You’re obviously happy for him, and disappointed our team didn’t finish the way we should have.”

Todd finished with two base hits, two RBI and a walk at

the plate, and while he did not get a decision for his work on the mound, struck out three batters in his five innings of work.

Issaquah left seven runners on base in the loss, and got RBI from Derek Chapman and Ty Gibson.

Ryan Peart worked four innings and allowed three runs to take the loss, while Knights’ reliever Nick Rudholm got the win after working two shutout innings with a pair of strikeouts.

But the story of the afternoon was the matchup between father and son, one that was amplified when the Knights tabbed him as their starter on the hill.

“We knew the day before, and it was kind of mixed feelings,” Rob said. “When we got off to the great start, I was excited for our team and I didn’t feel great for Todd. Then things kind of turned his way.”

Rob said the impact was felt beyond he and Todd, as his own parents, wife, and other child were left with split allegiances. While the day was certainly full of highlights for Todd, a junior, his father said there was no gloating in the Reese household.

“He didn’t want to say a lot,” Rob said. “I told him he had a great game, and I was proud of him. He hung in there and battled as a dad, you’re proud of him. As a competitor, you wish he would save those days for someone else.”

Newport travels to Issaquah Wednesday, April 23 for the second game between the division foes.

Bellevue splits pair in Northwest Invite Bellevue dropped its first game of the year in the Northwest Invitational, falling 9-8 to Claremont (British Columbia).

Six different players scored a goal in the loss.

The Wolverines rebounded from the setback quickly, taking care of Lakeridge (Ore.) 12-8 behind five goals from senior Hank Bethke and three more from junior Joe Bethke.

Bradley Mederios had seven saves in goal for the Wolverines.

Bellevue continues its state championship defense at 8 p.m. Friday against Lake Washington, before heading on its annual east coast trip April 9 for three games.

Dotson earns ESPN facetime

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Isaac Dotson found himself affixed in the spotlight during his four years as a member of the Newport football and basketball teams, making state appearances in both sports and leaving a legacy as one of the

school’s most decorated athletes.

Dotson, now at Washington State and playing for coach Mike Leach, again made headlines Tuesday, earning a spot in an ESPN.com article from Kevin Gemmell on the website’s Pac-12 football blog highlighting the “biggest shoes to fill” for the 2014 season.

The article gives that distinction to departed strong safety Deone Bucannon, the team’s leader in total tackles, solo tackles, interceptions and forced fumbles.

The player Gemmell tabs as a potential emerging star is one familiar to those on Knight Court: “Washington State’s secondary is in complete rebuild mode. Not only do the Cougars lose Bucannon, but they also lost corners Damante Horton and Nolan Washington.

JC Bulldogs hosting combines

The Bellevue JC Bulldogs, a football team for students enrolled in two-year colleges, is hosting three combine training events for prospective team members on consecutive Saturdays in May. The team, which is not affiliated with Bellevue College or any other academic institution, plays games during the fall against other regional junior college teams from throughout Washington.

Last year’s team included nearly 40 players from schools around Bellevue, including Sammamish, Interlake and Newport.

The combines are scheduled for May 3, 10 and 17 at Crossfit Bellevue (13425 SE 30th St. Ste. 2C), with sign in beginning at 10:30 a.m. The fee is $35 for new players and $25 for returning players.

For more information, email bellevuejcfootball@outlook.com.

Paging Dotson, a sophomore who is a former standout prep quarterback. He appeared in seven games last year, notched 10 tackles and sits atop the spring depth chart.”

Jewish cultural heritage exhibit on view at City Hall Park Emails from Kids and homework

and genealogy are especially welcome on Tuesdays at noon, when a member of the Jewish Genealogy Society will be available for consultation. Children's storybooks are available and families are welcome to visit.

The exhibit also features a reading area and library, sculpture, informational displays and frequent events.

A $5 donation is suggested to view the exhibit. The exhibit will be one from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. The exhibit will be closed April 15 and 22 for Passover.

Special election ballots in mail King County has mailed ballots for the April 22 special election. Since the ballot includes a countywide measure, all voters will receive a ballot and a voters’ pamphlet, which will be mailed separately. All voters will receive the same voters’ pamphlet.

The countywide issue, Proposition No. 1, is a 10-year sales and use tax of 0.1 percent and an annual vehicle fee of $60 per registered vehicle. Low-income individuals would receive a $20 rebate on the vehicle fee. A total of 60 percent of the money would be used to preserve current Metro transit service levels with the rest going to provide transportation improvements, including road preservation, safety and maintenance projects.

Voters should return ballots as early as possible, but not later than election day, April 22. Voters returning ballots by mail

need to affix first class postage. Ballots must be postmarked by April 22.

Voters have many options for returning their ballot, including drop boxes, which are open 24 hours a day starting April 3 until 8 p.m. on election day.

A drop box is located at the Crossroads Shopping Center, south entrance, near Dress Barn, 15600 N.E. Eighth St. An Accessible Voting Center is located at Bellevue City Hall (450 110th Ave. N.E.) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 21 and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day, April 22.

King County Elections estimates a 38 percent turnout for this election.

Voters who do not receive a ballot by April 8 or who have questions should call the King County Elections voter information line at 206-296-VOTE (8683).

Bellevue College awarded $605,000 in Department of Commerce funding Bellevue College recently received a $410,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce Energy Efficiency and Solar Grants program to construct an 83KW solar photo-voltaic array on the roof of the R building on the main Bellevue campus. The DOC also awarded the college an additional $195,000 for campuswide energy efficiency upgrades.

The new solar array will be a large addition to an existing 7KW system and could generate enough electricity to power up to 70 percent of the building electric load on a sunny summer afternoon or an estimated

85,737 KwH per year.

These awards come on top of $2 million in grant funding awarded to Bellevue College in the last two grant cycles from the DOC for energy efficiency projects including campuswide lighting and water retrofits, HVAC controls, campus equipment replacements or repairs, energy meters for all buildings and the Building Dashboard, a system allowing visitors to see real-time data on energy use on campus by building.

The grants awarded to Bellevue College are part of the first conferred under the DOC’s 2013-2015 Energy Efficiency and Solar Grants program.

Bellevue College names health dean Bellevue College has named Leslie Heizer Newquist as dean of the Health Sciences, Education, and Wellness Institute.

Newquist had been serving as interim dean of the Institute since fall 2013; between fall 2011 and 2013, she worked to develop and establish several of the applied baccalaureate degrees on campus.

Newquist came to Bellevue College after 10 years at Green River Community College, where she served as executive dean for Professional/Technical and Workforce Education, Director for the Washington State Center of Excellence for Careers in Education and Director of Project TEACH. Her teaching

experience includes eight years as a member of the adjunct faculty in Psychology at Central Washington University, as well as teaching at Seattle Central Community College.

Outside academia, Newquist has worked as a therapist and counselor, both in private practice and with community-based agencies.

At BC, Newquist will oversee and manage a suite of 14 program areas, which range from early learning to nursing to physical education.

Newquist earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Western Washington University and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Union Graduate School in Cincinnati.

the teacher

A

ccording to family lore, my father would routinely return from school with a note pinned to his shirt by an exasperated teacher. Much to my amusement, my grandmother saved these notes, which were scrawled on school letterhead and reported dastardly wrongdoings like “Gary refused to wear his snow boots at recess” or “Gary hasn’t done his homework — again.” There wasn’t much respite for a homework shirking, bootless kid like my dad as the neighbors were delighted to call my Darcy Brixey grandmother to let her know another note from the teacher was on the way.

Teachers no longer need to pin notes to the shirts of students because they have email. I’ve received a few noting that my children may or may not have been involved in a sponge throwing incident in the school cafeteria or that one child is a founding member of Ninja Fight Club at recess. I really wished the Ninja Fight Club letter had been pinned to a shirt.

Extra points would have been given to the teacher if she’d folded it into a throwing star.

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.

A cultural heritage exhibit on Jewish culture is on display at the Bellevue City Hall Pavilion in City Hall Park, 450 110th Ave. N.E. through May 31.

The exhibit features a walk-through full-scale display of Jewish culture as celebrated in the home, as well as terra cotta and bronze figures that animate the entire space.

Filled with maps, books, artifacts and photos, the exhibit looks at changes over the last 65 years.

During midwinter break, an email went out to the parents of my son’s fourth grade class to remind students to finish their assigned book during the break. She also informed parents that students had been given their assigned books two weeks before. I hadn’t heard about this book report, so I asked my son about it.

“I forgot,” he said, as if that explained everything.

I reminded him that he could have finished the book during our lengthy flight instead of hitting his sister with the Sky Mall catalog.

I tried to fake sick to get out of swimming lessons as a kid, but my mom was a nurse so she never bought it. Her motto was “no blood, no excuses.” It’s that way a little when your mom is a librarian too.

Books are easier than ever to get when you know how to use a library. New titles are being added constantly to the collection of ebooks and I’ve noticed a quicker turnaround time for my materials. With choices between Overdrive eBooks, Axis 360, OneClick Digital, Zinio and the music and video downloads, I’m able to get almost anything I want from anywhere. There will be no more forgotten book report assignments in my house.

From the lanai in Hawaii, I logged on to the KCLS website, perused Overdrive and downloaded the book for his report.

“No excuses,” I said, as I handed him my Nook.

He didn’t say thank you. Maybe he just forgot.

Voices of Bellevue: Owen Ostbo

Eastside Heritage Center’s oral history collection contains almost 270 interviews. In the following excerpt from his 1993 oral history (edited for clarity) Owen Ostbo describes what life was like in the Mercer Slough. His family lived on the Winters House property from 1937 until about 1960.

Interviewer: What do you remember of the life here in the slough?

Owen Ostbo: Well, I enjoyed it because I liked to hunt and fish in those days. And there were a lot of pheasants and ducks down here, so I enjoyed that. The area was not populated like it is now. I mean, Bellevue consisted of about four blocks of Main Street from 100th Avenue to 104th. That was just about it. And then they started, oh, shortly before World War II, expanding out further east on Main Street. And then, of course, Freeman built quite a bit of the shopping center up on, oh, south of Northeast 8th.

Interviewer: In the slough, well, we’ve been told that there were coyotes.

Owen: You know, we heard coyotes more in the later years we were here. In the early days, we never heard coyotes. Right down at the first bend in the road, there used to be a driveway swinging off to the left there that went to the blueberry farm. And then there was kind of a raised area that went out in a diagonal line out towards the slough

there. Anyway, I heard that the railroad at one time was going to cross the slough instead of building that trestle up at Wilburton. And Walter Winters took me out and showed me what they called the “pothole.” There was a big pond where there was good duck-hunting. And, you know, there was rows of piling both ways from that. And then there was a rather long, narrow pond and pilings sticking out both side of it. Anyway, I was told that the railroad had lost a locomotive in there when they were trying to cross the slough.

the issue off the table in Olympia when lawmakers address a transportation package again, likely in January.

“Bus transit is an important element of Bellevue’s transportation system, but the costs of the proposed tax increase to Bellevue’s residents and businesses far outweigh the benefits provided by Prop. 1,” said Tom Sulewski, Bellevue Chamber of Commerce board chair, in a prepared statement. “Bellevue, Metro, and the region need to continue to work together to ensure the Legislature passes a statewide transportation package that addresses all of our transportation needs, not just those of King County Metro.”

Alleviating congestion on I-405 and completion of the 520 bridge remain high priorities for the chamber.

"The proposed Proposition 1 tax increase does not expand bus service or construct additional park-and-ride facilities in Seattle or on the Eastside," states the chamber news release. "Further, the vote jeopardizes the passage of a state transportation plan that is vital to the future of our region.”

Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci released this statement last month, following the adjournment of this year's legislative session.

“Every day, the people of Bellevue and our region are spending an unacceptable amount of their time stuck in traffic. Critical safety repairs and upgrades to roads and bridges are delayed or ignored. The bus service people rely on is facing dramatic cuts at a time when the high level of demand is causing standing-room crowds on many routes.

Our council, neighborhoods and businesses know that transportation solutions are absolutely necessary to the continued quality of life and economic health of our city.

“It is deeply disappointing that the Legislature, despite heroic efforts by individual legislators, such as 41st District Rep. Judy Clibborn, has been unable or unwilling to provide the leadership we need to keep our city and region moving. It is no surprise that we now see local governments looking to find ways to fund our own transportation solutions.”

residents would theoretically be provided with better responses to true alarm calls.

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace said he’d like to see proposals from prospective vendors to get a better idea about what the cost could be for service and how that would translate into registration fees and fines.

Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she wants to know what benefit the program would have for alarm owners.

“What’s in it for them, other than a fee and paperwork?” she said.

Johnson said once false alarm issues are corrected through an approved program, businesses and

vendor costs — and about $80,000 to $100,000 could be gained in fines each year. Offenders would be able to take an online course to have their first fine waived.

The Bellevue Police Department will need to do more to convince city councilmembers it needs a vendor contract for a false alarm management program that would penalize business owners and residents whose faulty alarm systems have been distracting officers from real calls over the past several years.

Deputy Police Chief Mike Johnson proposed the program to City Council on March 17, stating about 98 percent of burglary alarms Bellevue officers respond to as being faulty electronics or accidentally set off. That has meant an annual loss of about 1,700 hours of police time that could have been applied to other calls, he said.

Doing a false alarm management program in-house, where the police department would process registrations and provide monitoring and billing for fines is not a responsibility the BPD wants to assume, said Johnson. It would take two new full-time employees and additional training, he said, and the department is already encumbered with a

rise in residential burglaries and vehicle prowls.

The police department proposes contracting with a vendor for a web-based program and paying for the service using alarm system registration from businesses and residents whose systems are actively monitored.

Johnson said revenue from registration is estimated at $65,000 annually — after

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

ANIMALS WINNER

PEOPLE WINNER

SCENIC WINNER

Marcia Nobuyama took this photo at the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue where she works as a volunteer — a pet publicist (photographer). She takes pictures of dogs for the website for people who are interested in adopting a pet. She was taking out another dog for a shoot “and this guy popped his head over the wall and started watching me. It was just too cute not to capture.” Nobuyama says she greatly enjoys helping and being a part of this organization. “They do great things bringing together pets and people to form lifelong relationships.”

Steve Wiebe is an amateur photographer with an art and printing background. He says he saw these people on the beach at Ocean Shores when the sun was setting. “The golden tones caught my eye from the balcony of our hotel room. I grabbed my camera and telephoto lens and zoomed in on the silhouetted images.” He shot the images in January 2013.

Megan Lee of Bellevue says she was attempting to take pictures of bubbles mid-air outside the Bridle Trails State Park. “It wasn’t long before I realized that the rain from the previous day allowed for the bubbles to remain on the ground a few seconds before they popped. As a result, I was able to quickly blow the bubbles, lie on the ground, and snap this photo, which reflected the surrounding trees.” She took the photo in February 2013.

Dozens of people took their best (photo) shot in the Bellevue Reporter Amateur Reader Photo Contest.

In all, 94 photographs were submitted in the categories of Animals, People and Scenic.

The most popular category was Scenic, which garnered a total of 52 photographs. The Animals category brought 25 entries. The People category had 17 photographs.

The photos went through two rounds of judging before

winners were chosen.

Marcia Nobuyama won in the Animals category for a photograph of a cute dog peeking over a wall at the Seattle Humane Society. She will receive a 16 x 20 canvas wrap of a photograph of her choice, compliments of Omega Photo in Bellevue.

Steve Wiebe took the honors in the People category with a photograph of two "treasurer hunters" checking the beach at Ocean Shores. Wiebe wins a Vanguard Arien 27 gadget

Winners named in Bellevue Reporter amateur photo contest

Megan Lee is the winner in the Scenic category for a photograph of a bubble reflecting the area outside the Bridle Trails Park. Her prize is a $100 gift certificate at John Howie Steak in Bellevue.

Congratulations to our winners and all of the entrants who clearly have an eye for photography. We'll plan to show some of their photographs in the weeks ahead in the Bellevue Reporter.

provide first-hand information to the students, giving them a variety of experiences as a possible career path.

The camp will be held from July 20-26 at the Washington State Patrol Academy in Shelton. Applications can be downloaded

from the State Patrol’s home page, wsp. wa.gov, under “Outreach.” The application deadline is May 9.

This camp is sponsored and paid for by Washington Kiwanis clubs statewide in addition to corporate and private sponsors.
