Council nears transit master plan update

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue city councilmembers plan to approve an updated transit master plan this summer to identify project priorities in order to handle a significant increase in ridership projected by 2030.

The council got a peak at what's to come from the city transportation commission on April 14 when several commissioners presented the draft Transit Capital Vision Report. Council will review the master plan in July.

The transportation commission has identified 107 project candidates, of which

Driver confuses accelerator for brake, crashes through Crossroads apartment

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Two residents in an apartment on the 16200 block of 13th Place Northeast were uninjured Monday morning, April 21, when a 43-year-old man confused the accelerator for the brake of his 2003 Toyota RAV 4, driving it through their first-floor unit.

Bellevue Police Ofc. Carla Iafrate

said the driver called 9-1-1 shortly before 8 a.m. after driving his vehicle through a unit at the Bellpark East Apartments, and was unable to leave his vehicle. Two residents were in bed when the vehicle entered their apartment, but were not injured. The driver reported confusing his accelerator for the brake and is not facing charges, she said.

Firefighters removed the driver

and his vehicle from the apartment.

City structural engineers were called to the scene and determined the apartment above the one damaged in the accident can remain occupied. Red Cross was called to provide assistance for the displaced residents.

Bellevue has undergone multiple spurts of growth and change over the years, and Mayor Claudia Balducci says the city will work diligently this year to further facilitate its growing success as a community and economic hub of the Eastside.

Balducci and Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace took turns revealing the working vision the City Council has come up with to guide Bellevue's future during the State of the City address Tuesday at the Bellevue Club, as well as highlighting the city's 2013 successes. The event was sponsored by the Bellevue Downtown Association.

"We are united to move forward with a vision for the city," said Balducci.

This will be a year for parks and recreation, with a new Bellevue Youth Theatre under construction at Crossroads Park and the opening of a new visitors center to complement the Bellevue Botanical Garden in June, said Balducci. The city also is saving funds through a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Bellevue to construct a new gym at Hidden alley Park, expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Transportation remains at the top of priorities for the city to reduce projected increases in population, jobs and the congestion that will come with it. Projects to extend Northeast Fourth Street, as well as extending and widening 120th Avenue Northeast remain integral to moving people out of downtown and into the emerging Bel-Red corridor, Balducci said.

Wallace said he's proud of how the city handled the recession, moving to an outcome-based budgeting process SEE VISION, 6

Parks to place parking lot at Coal Creek trailhead Upgrade project cited as least disruptive option for disturbed site

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Parks and Community Services hopes to begin upgrading a Coal Creek trailhead along Newcastle Golf Club Road by late July, placing a nine-stall parking lot there, mitigating run-

off and planting 12,000 square feet of native plants.

A critical areas land use permit from 2010 was resubmitted for approval last week after expiring, along with with a clearing and grading permit. Project manager Geoff Bradley states construction will begin as soon as permits are

issued, possibly as late as early August.

One of four alternatives considered by Barker Landscape Architects and determined least disruptive to the disturbed site, the parking lot will replace an overlay of quarry spalls. The proposal is stated to be a lesser cost

to the city by avoiding total restoration of the site and improving access to Coal Creek Park.

Stormwater runoff on the western portion of the site will divert to a new water quality pond and tie into an existing stormwater pipeline, which will also be used on the eastern portion through biofiltration swales and/or filter strips.

This project is proposed to be

less expensive than the explored option of placing a footbridge across Lakemont Boulevard to tie an existing Red Town Trailhead parking lot to Coal Creek Park.

On top of the 12,000 square feet of native plant species, the project will also remove invasive plant species, the most prominent being the Himalayan blackberry.

Shoreline plan attorney says state guidelines unclear

An attorney hired to help the city of Bellevue navigate the legal and environmental issues once a shoreline master plan is passed off to the Washington Department of Ecology warned councilmembers on April 14 that they face the “daunting task” of satisfying an unknown standard set by the state.

The City Council has a lot of policy discretion in its crafting of its shoreline master plan, but the state doesn’t make clear its extent, said Richard Settle, an attorney specializing in land use and environmental law with Foster Pepper PLLC. He said this has to do with the radical pairing of committees that crafted the state shoreline act currently on the books. Bellevue will likewise need to balance a number of interests in its plan.

“I’m not saying what it ought to be, I’m

just reporting,” Settle said. “… Inevitably you’re going to have to guess, at some extent.”

It will be critical that the city’s shoreline master plan adequately provide for public access, address navigation of shoreline areas and result in no net loss of shoreline or shoreline functions, which also lacks detailed definition by the state, said Settle.

The council must decide how much risk to take.

“I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I guess,” he said. “I know it isn’t easy.”

City Land Use Director Carol Helland assured council that staff has made balanced choices on how to approach portions of the shoreline master plan where the city has more latitude, but to expect some disagreement. She said staff made sure to avoid a condition in the state act that allows SEE SHORELINE, 3

The planning commission, which worked on the draft master plan, spent most of its time focused on

residential shoreline regulations, said Helland, adding those issues will be a big part of council discussions moving forward. She added the commission wants the plan to be approved as a resolution, not an ordinance, to open up the city to negotiations with the ecology department, which has final say in approving it.

EDITORIAL

Time for Legislature to deal with transportation

T

he defeat of King County Proposition No. 1, to help pay for transit as well as road maintenance and improvements, puts pressure on the Legislature to deal with this issue on a statewide basis. That’s where it belonged from the start.

But we can’t blame the county from moving ahead on its own. After all, the Legislature had a chance to do this at the start of the year, but ducked its responsibility. Sadly, that’s not surprising, given that most lawmakers will be up for election this fall and don’t want to be on the record as voting for more taxes.

Unfortunately, people here will take the hit for the Legislature’s inaction. Bus service will be reduced, some routes will be discontinued, more buses will be standing room only during rush hours and some people — bus drivers — likely will work fewer hours or, worse, lose their jobs.

Metro ridership has been climbing over the past few years, but obviously most voters aren’t’ bus riders. And for them, why pay more taxes when they’ve already got comfortable seats and a great sound system in their car to see them through what likely will be a more congested commute.

Comforting words from the president

I

t was good to see President Obama at the Oso mudslide and even better to hear him praise the first responders and residents there for the effort — and agony — that they are going through. The federal government can offer money — and it has. But equally, if not more, important is the comfort that the president gave.

He met privately with family members who have lost so many and so much. He then met with officials and first responders to rightly praise them for their efforts.

As the president said: “We’ve all been inspired by the incredible way that the community has come together and shown the love and support that they have for each other in ways large and small. And to see the strength in adversity of this community I think should inspire all of us, because this is also what America is all about” So true.

President’s visit

Lessons learned at Oso disaster

T

hat venerable adage ‘It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it’ came to mind Tuesday as President Barack Obama departed the Oso firehouse.

Not because the communicator-in-chief had just provided three cringe-worthy moments with his tortured pronunciation of the town’s name.

Rather it was Obama’s subtle acknowledgement the emergency response to the deadly mudslide did not get carried out in letter-perfect fashion.

Families and neighbors of the deceased and missing encountered Jerry Cornfield frustrations with first responders during those first days after the earth moved.

“Some terrific lessons were learned in the midst of very hard times during this process, because almost uniquely, we had not just coordination between state, local and federal officials, but also coordination between volunteers and those officials,” Obama said to the crowd at the firehouse.

“And I know that it required some im-

provisation and some kinks getting worked out, but it was important for the family members themselves and the community themselves to be hands-on and participate in this process — particularly a community like this one where folks are hearty and know how to do things, and take great pride in being self-reliant.

“It was important that they weren’t just bystanders in this process, they were involved every step of the way,” he said.

Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe might feel validated by his words; she made much the same point a month ago.

But the freshman lawmaker, among those who met with the president Tuesday, expressed it far less diplomatically, and perhaps too soon, to be effective.

Only four days had passed before she unloaded about a lack of common sense in aspects of the rescue and recovery efforts.

She spoke of how residents embraced Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin’s “Get ‘er done” ethic to spring into action in the face of what sometimes seemed a slow and jumbled response from official quarters.

She expressed particular pique with the SEE OSO, 5

Name calling

Times – and names – are changing

I

just ran across an old thank you card I’d once written to my Aunt Gertrude. I was eight years old and I’d penned to her: “Dear Auntie, thank you for the birthday card you sent me with only five dollars in it.”

The reason I still have the card is because my mom intercepted it before it was mailed. I still don’t understand what was wrong with my simple words of gratitude.

When our first daughter was born, I briefly considered naming her Gertrude, after my (only five dollars) aunt, but my wife vetoed it immediately.

“It’s out-of-style,” she insisted. “She’ll be called Gert or Trudy. Might as well send Pat Cashman her straight to a senior center.”

It is true. Names go out of fashion as surely as hairstyles, leisure suits and high-gluten foods.

I recently — and reluctantly — had to inform my friends Fred, Harold and Edna that their names were not hip anymore. And they replied, “Thank you — PAT.” Town names like Brooklyn, Madison and Austin are bow de rigueur for newborns. However, some city names are slower in becoming popular, such as Newcastle, Renton and Kingsgate.

My friend, Clyde Hill, has no comment.

According to a research site, the name Gertrude — like my five-buck aunt — was once quite trendy. In 1907, thousands of girls were given the name. But within a few years, no girls were given the name. For boys, Ernest, Clifford, Leonard and Herbert are as obsolete now as Myspace. Richard has also fallen way down the list. I will not tell you why in print.

If a kid does have a traditional name, it’s now important to spell it differently: Carl should be spelled Karll or Caarl. Ben should be Benn or Behn. Jane should be Jayyne or Jaine. And so on. I mean, so “awne.”

It’s confusing. Just as soon as a name is labeled as out of style — it comes roaring back. Adolph still isn’t in vogue, but Oswald is — along with Alfred, Linus, Otto and even Roscoe.

And Alice, Beatrix and Millie have suddenly become hip.

Bertha? Not yet. Especially for big tunnel boring machines.

For girls, it seems like certain flower and plant names can’t go wrong: Fuchsia, Daisy, Rose, Violet and Iris. Not as appealing so far are Nasturtium, Crocus and Skunk Cabbage.

Pansy has not yet caught on as a boy’s name.

But wait a week.

been working to insure that didn’t happen again. He was censured by his own district, which also keeps track of bipartisan bills he killed.

Don’t you find it a bit concerning at all that he ran on the goodwill, funding, and hard work of Democrats in the country only to throw his votes in with Republicans in order to wrest control of the Senate from the duly elected majority? Would he have been elected had he run on that platform? Of course not.

Endorsing this kind of deceit is new low-water mark.

Editorial wrong on Rodney Tom

I’ve come to expect your paper to be out of step with democratic voices in this county, but Craig Groshart’s recent editorial on Rodney Tom cannot go unchallenged.

When the people voted in a democratic majority, that’s what they deserved. But due to Rodney Tom what we got is, in Groshart’s own terms, is “political polarization.” I find the use of the word “coalition” to describe the defection of two Democrats a gross abuse of the term and indicative of the way Tom has willfully misguided the public.

Of course, the editorial failed to mention that the 48th Legislative District that got him elected, has actively

decisions to bar Darrington residents from joining the search for victims and restoring a private road for emergency vehicles to access the site – prohibitions the hometown folks promptly ignored and officialdom eventually welcomed.

Those were probably the kind of “kinks getting worked out” that Obama had in mind.

Hear Obama’s speech “It’s not a time for http://tinyurl.com/lebk4df armchair quarterbacking, but for heaven’s Read more about sake, listen to the Rep. Scott’s criticisms people on the ground,” http://www.heraldnet. she said March 27. com/article/20140327/ “People of Darrington NEWS01/140329049 feel really dismissed and put down.”

There would be a time to discuss what didn’t go right and what to do about it, she said.

“There’s no such thing as a perfect response. We can learn from this and going forward we can think about how we have a better plan,” she said.

When that time comes — if Scott picked up any tips from Obama — it will be to make sure what she says gets the attention, rather than how she says it.

Habib to seek Senate seat; McBride switches to House

BY MATT PHELPS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

The decision by state Sen. Rodney Tom not to seek re-election already has shaken up the political world.

Former Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride, who had targeted Tom in this year's Senate race in the 48th District, has switched her focus to the House seat now held by fellow Democrat Cyrus Habib. At the same time, Habib says he will run for the Senate.

Tom stepped away from the race to care for his father, who was seriously injured when struck by a car.

Habib, a Kirkland resident, initially endorsed McBride for the Senate position.

Habib views his Senate run as an opportunity to bring common sense and a focus on Eastside priorities to a chamber mired in gridlock and dissent.

“It is critical that we make the needed investments in human and physical capital to secure our continued pros-

perity and competitiveness,” Habib said.

“Unfortunately, the RepubCyrus Habib lican leaders in the state Senate have punted on the most pressing issues of the day: education funding, transportation investments, and job growth.

McBride said it’s always been about serving the people the best way she knows how, not the particular office. If elected for the House position, she will join Eastside colleagues Rep. Ross Hunter (D-48) and Rep. Larry Springer (D-45), himself a one-time Kirkland Mayor.

McBride also has won support from Springer, County Executive Dow Constantine, Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci, Redmond Mayor John Marchione, Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen.

“I know I speak for many

when I say that I am thrilled Joan is going to campaign for the House, and we will Joan McBride see her in action next year in Olympia – where we desperately need her passion and commitment to our families and communities,” said Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci.

McBride will formally kick off her campaign May 8.

In 2012, Habib defeated Redmond City Councilmember Hank Myers. a Republican, for the House seat, garnering over 61 percent of the vote in the general election.

In addition to his position on the powerful Rules Committee, Habib serves as vice chair of the Committee on Technology and Economic Development, as well as on the Business and Financial Services and Transportation committees.

that allowed projects to keep getting done while keeping tax rates at 2008 levels. That kept the city's insurance ratings high enough to take on debt at 2.7 percent over 20 years to keep working on transportation projects, said Wallace. Unemployment also dropped to 4 percent in 2013, down from 8 percent in 2009.

He said this year will be an interesting for development in downtown Bellevue, with projects like Bellevue at Main, Soma Towers Phase 1 and the Marriott Bellevue Hotel under construction and the highly anticipated $1.2 billion expansion of Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square 2 on the way. Hotels will increase by 1,100 units and 3.5 million square feet of office space is expected to be gained once a number of projects are completed.

"These are projects unlike anything we've seen in downtown Bellevue and they're all right there, ready and about to deliver," Wallace said.

The city is also planning on $1.5 billion in construction activity over the next eight years to bring in Sound Transit's East Link Extension of light rail service. Wallace said he's happy with the alignment that came out of a lengthy discussion with Sound Transit.

Wallace urged those attending the Bellevue Downtown Association breakfast on Tuesday to keep pushing the Washington Legislature to pass a state transportation package he said will be critical to improving condi-

tions on I-405 and alleviating concerns about congestion now and in the future.

Balducci said the city expects to finish work on its Downtown Livability Initiative this year. It includes land use code changes, design guidelines and light rail integration measures meant to continue attracting residents to the downtown corridor, which is already a growing number. This also includes projects meant to enhance the downtown experience, including finishing the circle at Downtown Park and the Meydenbauer Bay Park project.

"We really need a major waterfront feature for the people," she said, stating the council wants planning complete and construction to start by 2018.

The city is also working with the Performing Arts Center Eastside to draft a memorandum of understanding moving forward with a study and public outreach to determine how a public-private partnership to complete the Tateuchi Center could work, said Balducci.

She said the city is also updating its diversity initiative after more than 10 years to address the large amount of change in Bellevue, not just in terms of the needs that come with it, but how to capitalize on the advantages it brings.

"Diversity brings opportunity. It brings economic development, education, a focus on public safety; things we can work together on to make the city a better and more rich place," Balducci said.

Botanical Garden gets $500,000 pledge The Bellevue Botanical Garden Society has received a $500,000 pledge from the PJA Foundation for the garden's Growing a Living Legacy Capital Campaign. David Ketter, president of the PJA Foundation, announced the pledge following a hard hat tour of the new facilities on April 13.

“The foundation wants to support projects that have permanence and promote education and outreach and this is just such a project,” said Ketter. “We are thrilled to be able to contribute to the Growing a Living Legacy campaign and help the Garden grow.”

Growing a Living Legacy is an $11 million campaign to fund construction of a new education and visitor center, expanded parking area, and new gardens at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.

“We are ecstatic to receive this major pledge from the PJA Foundation,” said Denise Lane, chair of the Bellevue Botani-

cal Garden Society’s Capital Campaign Committee. “Our new buildings will open to the public on June 14 and we are now in the home stretch of our capital campaign. Words cannot express our gratitude for this gift, which has put us much closer to our final goal.”

The PJA Foundation is dedicated to promoting the love of horticulture in the general public. The foundation’s longstanding support of the Bellevue Botanical Garden has been instrumental in helping the garden attract more than 300,000 visitors each year.

Over the years, grants from the PJA Foundation have supported education and outreach programs and many garden development projects including way finding and interpretation signs, a plant database, and enhancements to the Rock Garden and Ground Cover Garden. In addition, a previous grant from The PJA Foundation funded The Ravine Experi-

The Bellevue Demonstration Garden kicked off its 30th year when it opened for the season on April 2.

Staffed by King County Master Gardener volunteers, the garden strives to provide education and demonstration of many gardening topics to the public.

Located in the Lake Hills Greenbelt at Southeast 16th Street and 156th Avenue Southeast, the garden was founded in cooperation with Bellevue Parks and Community Services in 1984. Land reclaimed from a formerly contaminated site gave birth to a public P-Patch and Urban Demonstration Garden.

A series of free educational workshops began in 1993, and continues today on topics ranging from rhododendron culture to waterwise gardening. Workshops are held at 10:30 a.m. in the Ranger Station most Saturdays, January through October.

As a demonstration garden, more than 40 beds with edible and ornamental plants are displayed along with the growing, staking, trellising, and support options for each. It also includes a meditation court, children’s garden, cactus garden, compost center, vertical garden, and espaliered fruit trees, among others.

Details are set to be released this week detailing brothers Bret and Marc Chatalas’ vision for what Tavern Hall is going to be as it replaces the shuttered Munchbar in downtown’s Bellevue Square.

According to permits issued by the city of Bellevue, Munchbar is to be remodeled and opened as Tavern Hall, a new dining establishment headed up by the Chatalas brothers, who own several Cactus restaurants in the area. They recently opened one in Bellevue Square. One building permit includes a 90-square-foot addition using space from an existing breezeway.

Wilcox Construction will perform the work, as it did with the Bellevue Square Cactus location. Strata Architects of Se-

attle is handling the design.

Neither the Chatalas nor property owner Kemper Development Company are commenting at this time, but Marc Chatalas confirmed the project and that details will be released sometime next week in an email to the Reporter. Records state the proposed value of the improvements is $275,000.

“I will say this,” Marc Chatalas states, “there is more to this story and project than can be inferred from the permits, licenses and applications that are in the public record at this time. This will be a very unique and exciting addition to the Eastside dining scene.”

Lying led to firing of Bellevue officer Brennan covered for coworker during DUI stop

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Police Deputy Chief Jim Jolliffe said last week the decision to fire a 15-year veteran of the force was that he lied to protect a fellow officer from being investigated by other law enforcement officials during a November DUI stop.

Ofc. Doug Brennan was off duty the night of Nov. 20 when he pulled over a Jeep Cherokeee driving erratically on eastbound I-90 in the city of Issaquah. The driver was fellow Bellevue Ofc. Andrew Hanke.

Brennan reported Hanke told him he’d been returning home from the Sideline

Sports Bar in Bellevue.

Hanke, who resigned in January following a DUI charge, was allowed to hitch a ride home with his wife.

Brennan did not contact NORCOM dispatchers during this time, according to a notice of termination filed with an internal investigation into his conduct, nor did he conduct a field sobriety test on Hanke. He did notify his supervisor after Hanke’s wife had shown up to the scene to take him home. Brennan even waited on the side of the highway in his unmarked patrol vehicle for Hanke’s wife to return for her vehicle.

Jolliffe said the most serious offense committed

by Brennan that ultimately led to his termination and a prolonged internal investigation was that the officer lied to other officers on the scene, not so much

that he allowed his drunken coworker off the hook for DUI. “This was driven by what we believe is a finding of false information,” said Jolliffe, adding that finding resulted in Brennan being placed on administrative leave in February.

In the course of dealing with Hanke, another car pulled up behind Brennan’s vehicle. The occupants were determined to be involved in a domestic violence/suicidal situation, according to records. Brennan notified NORCOM of that situation, which resulted in the dispatch of Issaquah Police officers to the scene.

Issaquah Ofc. Tom Griffith initially approached Hanke’s vehicle and had trouble getting the Bellevue officer to respond to

his questions. He believed Hanke may have been drunk, according to the report. Brennan told Griffith that he came upon Hanke’s disabled vehicle, not that he’d pulled his coworker over for suspicion of DUI. Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo, who retired last week, wrote in Brennan’s notice of termination, “Had he thought otherwise, Griffith may have paid more attention to specific indicators related to a possible DUI.” Pillo states in her notice of termination Brennan made the Issaquah officer a witness to the alleged crime committed by Hanke and further interfered with her ability to discipline the officer. Hanke first made headlines in 2012 for drunk and disorderly conduct at

a Seattle Seahawks game in September. Disciplinary actions for that event included his removal from the bomb squad and a 30day suspension. He is set for a pretrial conference in Issaquah Municipal Court

regarding his DUI charge at 10 a.m. May 14.

“We have this reservoir of good will with the public, and we want to keep that full,” Jolliffe said, “so when a fire starts, we have the water to put that out.”

Bellevue, Issaquah set to meet for top spot in conference

News and notes in sports and recreation

Baseball teams battling in KingCo

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue senior goalkeeper Cole Cansler has earned his spot as the starter the hard way, biding his time on the C-Team and JV before finally getting the nod to man the cage as the varsity starter this season. MOLLY PIPER, U.S. Lacrosse Washington game against in-state foes, and puts its 36 game in-state winning streak on the line Friday against Issaquah.

The Eagles and Eastside Catholic beat Bellevue in consecutive games midway through the 2011 season.

Issaquah head coach Brandon Fortier said he expects his team’s attack to be tested against the stingy Wolverines.

“They are very strong defensively,” he said.

Bellevue’s defensive unit will be tested by a group of Eagles featuring a balanced offensive attack, with 10 players having scored a goal and six with double-digit points on the season.

“It’s always a great game,” Baumann said. “Issaquah is well coached, they play a quality brand of lacrosse and are fundamentally sound.”

Haehl, who is part of a senior class looking to cap its tenure with a trio of Division I state championships, said his expectations are nothing short of another title.

“We put in the work and try to get better every day,” he said. “We’re going to hit the playoffs on a roll, and win another state championship. I’m not going to finish my senior year disappointed.”

We believe every child should be treated the way we would like our own children to be treated.

Interlake is one of four teams in the conference with six league wins, along with Mount Si, Liberty and frontrunner Mercer Island, which has only a single KingCo loss on the year.

For the past three seasons, Cole Cansler has watched, and waited.

He has been witness to multiple state titles, All-American teammates and a host of Division I caliber Wolverines.

But while he was observing the nuances of a varsity program that owns the past two state championships, Cansler was also getting plenty of his own seasoning, even while on the C-Team and junior varsity.

“I tried to take every game seriously, and put in all my effort,” he said. “No matter what team I’m playing for or what team we’re playing against.”

Now a senior, the rangy left-hander is getting an opportunity to put that intel to work, and is making the most of the opportunity as the varsity starter in goal.

“Cole is a great story of a kid just working hard all throughout his high school career,” head coach John Baumann said. “He was a good teammate as a backup and now, with all the work he put in, it is paying off.”

The Wolverines’ primary net minder has allowed only 36 goals on the year, while posting 55 saves in 11 games. The propensity for lopsided scores, especially against in-state foes, has meant plenty of time for fellow senior Bradley Medeiros as well, and he has answered with 30 saves.

Baumann said the selfless nature of his senior keeper has not waned even as he has become the starter.

“He’s the first guy out there to congratulate Brad on a big stop,” Baumann said. “He definitely brings a calmness.”

Fellow senior and captain Eric Haehl said the dedication of Cansler has paid dividends already on the season, and provided perspective for the rest of the team.

“He has put in the work in the offseason, and it has been great to see him grow,” he said of Cansler. “He’s saved us in a couple of games and really stepped up big. He has really risen above.”

Bellevue has surrendered just more than three goals per

The Wolverines dropped their first 2A/3A KingCo game of the year last week in a 9-0 loss to Mercer Island, but still find themselves at the top of the conference with just more than two weeks to play in the regular season.

Bellevue faced Lake Washington Wednesday after the Reporter’s deadline, and takes on Juanita Friday on the road.

Interlake has won two straight, beating Juanita 5-2 last week before taking care of last place Liberty 6-3 Monday.

The Saints faced second place Mount Si Wednesday, and host Mercer Island at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Sammamish lost 3-0 to Bellevue Monday, and faces an uphill battle to catch Lake Washington for the conference’s only 2A district playoff berth.

The Totems met Mercer Island Wednesday and face Mount Si Friday, trailing the Kangs by two games in the win column.

Newport saw its three game win streak snapped in a 10-3 loss to Bothell Monday, and lost 5-3 to rival Issaquah Wednesday on the road to fall out of first place in the division.

The top four teams in

4A KingCo Crown are separated by only one game in the win column.

Father-son ties help write new chapter in Newport, Issy rivalry

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Newport junior Todd Reese remembers the days as a youngster around the Issaquah baseball program, following head coach and father Rob around the old natural grass diamond, idolizing the purple and gold clad varsity team members.

The memories of the family ties to their KingCo championships and a trio of state titles are also fond ones for the longtime skipper of the Eagles, along with a pair of assistants in Steve Sanelli and Fred Caponigro who have known and coached Todd throughout his youth.

But rather than suiting up for his father and Issaquah as a player, after doing so as a bat boy for state championship squads, Todd headed to the other side of Newport Way, to Issaquah’s fiercest rivals on the baseball diamond.

“I played Thunderbird Little League my whole life, and grew up with these guys,” Todd said of the Bellevue league that feeds Newport High School and draws from the area that borders the Issaquah School District boundary.

Rob said the plan was always for his son to attend Newport and remain with his neighborhood classmates and friends, rather than inherit the pressure of being the coach’s son for the Eagles. But during his childhood, as Rob led Issaquah to state championships in 2000, 2004 and 2007, Todd and the rest of the family were a fixture in the stands and on the field.

Rob said one of the most vivid memories of his coaching tenure is the program’s most recent title, when he grabbed a young Todd from over the Safeco Field railing and brought

WE ST B E LLE V U E VI E W HOM E (Top) Newport junior Todd Reese has been his team’s best pitcher; Longtime Issaquah coach Rob Reese during a game this year. RICK EDELMAN, Rick Edelman Photography him on the field to join the celebration.

“I still watch the video of that one sometimes,” he said, recalling his own parents in the front row with his wife and Todd. “I will never forget that the rest of my life.”

The past two-plus years have been anything but easy as a father, with Rob only able to see his son play in the conflicted instances when he faces Issaquah.

“It’s been really difficult, not being able to see him and not having my wife here,” Rob said. “He has such a great group of friends he grew up with.”

Newport coach Brad Files has coached for nearly two decades alongside Rob, Sanelli and Caponigro with Lakeside Recovery’s American Legion program during the summer, and as close family friends has known Todd his entire life.

“We’ve been looking forward to having him here, and it has gone by fast,” Files said. “We try to make the most of it every day and enjoy the experience.”

The decision has worked out well for Todd, and even better for the Knights during his varsity tenure.

He has played in all of his team’s games in the field or on the mound, and is third on the team in hits and second in RBI. He has been the workhorse of the pitching staff, throwing a team high 34 innings and a third, and posting a 2.04 earned run average.

Even with the unenviable task of taking on his own father as the starting pitcher in a Newport win over Issaquah earlier this year, Todd has shined.

“It’s probably the most nervous I’ve ever been,” he said of a 5-4 victory where he started on the mound and delivered the game winning base hit. “It felt good to beat them. But there was no gloating, anything like that.”

Todd said the respect between he and his dad, developed through baseball, has been one of the most rewarding parts of his growth in a game he has been around for longer than he can remember.

On the day he was born, his father’s Eagles were slated for a non-league game against Kentridge. After staying for the birth of his first son, Rob headed to the diamond to catch whatever was left of the early season tilt. Not long after, his wife was released from the hospital and came to the field, starting a connection on the diamond that has helped shape their lives in the years since.

“I was in my jeans,” Rob recalled, having passed along head coaching duties to Sanelli for the day. “Tami got out of the hospital and brought Todd. He’s been around Issaquah his whole life.

which is how about 30 percent of students get to campus.

The project includes improved campus access at the intersection of 142nd Place Southeast and Southeast 42nd Street, improved walkways and pedestrian cover on the 142nd Avenue Southeast bridge and improved connection to the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail.

The commission also envisions a new transit station on Snoqualmie River Road.

Lower on the prioritization list are two projects on Main and Northeast 10th streets, both of which would replace one

eastbound lane with a high-occupancy vehicle lane from Bellevue Way to 112th Avenue Northeast.

Councilmember Lynn Robinson said she prefers keeping Main Street a retail corridor, considering a Sound Transit light rail station will come in there as part of its East Link extension. Councilmember Kevin Wallace likewise was not in favor of the HOV lanes, stating he doesn't see a reason to give up lanes for mass transit after spending four years previously fighting light rail.

Mayor Claudia Balducci reasoned the low priority of these projects likely means they will never be taken up, but Councilmember John Chelminiak cautioned these projects

will never occur if they are removed from the list and development continues on into 2030.

Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she supports a proposal to create commuter parking facilities by leasing property from King County and churches. Drivers would leave their cars there and take public transportation.

Transportation Commissioner Janice Zahn said there's already an uneven distribution of vehicles at area park-and-rides, including the South Bellevue P&R that tends to be over capacity.

is no current plan to run another ballot measure in the future.

Metro service changes occur three times each year, meaning the first cuts, reductions and route changes will start in September, said Rochelle Ogershok with the King County Department of Transportation. Three more rounds of cuts and changes will occur in February, June and September of 2015.

Ogershok said the staffing cuts that will come with the cuts and reduced service have not yet been determined.

“If you have less service, you have less buses on the street clearly,” she said.

Without funding, the transportation benefit district can remain dormant.

There has been no indication from King County Council that it wants to dissolve the district.

Five Bellevue artists picked for annual Kirkland studio tour

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

Five Bellevue artists have been selected for inclusion in the 11th Annual Kirkland Artist Studio Tour, a city-spanning open house of fine artists' studio space.

Jeweler Jihee Kim, ceramicists Sharon Jamieson and Joyce Yu, and craft team Aiko Vail and Poul Erickson will have their work featured with more than 40 other artists on the tour.

The Kirkland Arts Center will hold the tour May 10-11.

For walkers, it’s an opportunity to look at items created in the Eastside’s backyard. For the artists, it’s an opportunity to put their work in front of an audience and make deeper connections with colleagues in their community.

“I think you learn a lot from each other and there’s a sense of camaraderie,” Jamieson said. “You meet people who understand what you’re doing and you feed off each other, in a way.”

Jamieson has been making pottery for more than three decades but, 25 years ago, she found a passion for the uncommonly used pitfire technique while searching for a pastime on she and her husband’s small island campsite.

“It was wonderful, and we had these 360-degree views,” she said. “But what did you do once you were there?”

Jamieson studied videos on how to fire ceramics outdoors, cooked in a fire pit wrapped in materials that would add color and natural varnish. Over time, she’s mastered SEE ARTISTS, 16

RDG, LLC, 101 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit.

The proposed project, New Bellevue Nissan, is located at 14648 SE Eastgate Way and 3231/ 3235 148th Avenue SE in City of Bellevue, in King County. This project involves 1.92 acres of soil disturbance for commercial construction activities. Stormwater will be discharged to the west to a well defined stream, which is tributary to Richards Creek.

Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173201A-320.

Cross-time romance shows its charms

BY DANIEL NASH

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Let’s get one thing out of the way, right off the bat: Let Valerie Vigoda sing!

Vigoda’s a veteran performing musician as the lyricist of New York band GrooveLily and a musical theater performer many times over. She’s a proven element with strong chops, and she continued to prove it through the lion’s share of the final preview performance of Joe DiPietro’s “Ernest Shackleton Loves Me.” Yet in the first half hour, the most energetic moments of the show’s instrumental score turned her into the quiet person at a loud party.

Which would be fine if she were a guest dropping by to say hello: but Vigoda’s the Ernest Shackleton Loves Me host, a full half of the cast Seattle Repertory Theatre, alongside (the well-heard) 155 Mercer St. Wade McCollum.

206-443-2222, seattlerep.org.

Chalk it up as a side effect $20-$45 at bit.ly/1pyNilP to an otherwise successful experiment. Musical theater

is a format that often leans on large ensemble casts and live orchestras, winning over audiences with a show of force. A tight 90-minute show anchored by a cast of two and mostly pre-recorded instrumentals, “Shackleton” defies the rule of strength in numbers to create a no-less grand spectacle.

Kat (Vigoda) is an unsuccessful opera composer saddled with a newborn in a freezing Brooklyn apartment after her “baby daddy” Bruce (McCollum) leaves for the fast life of a touring Journey cover band. Her latest indignity is her termination from a lucrative contract scoring a computer game, leaving her with nothing but an unwatched video blog for her creative outlet. After 36 hours without sleep, she finds herself receiving mysterious online romantic

overtures from her only viewer: Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton (also McCollum). Shackleton crosses a century and a refrigerator door to be with his lady love, and Kat finds herself acting as official muse on his beleaguered expedition.

DiPietro’s script never attempts to hide the unreality of the cross-time romance, which is part of the show’s charm: the two interact like childhood playmates deep in a game of imagination time. Shackleton is a self-conscious caricature who seems aware of future events in his life and constantly announces his full name with a Dudley DoRight timbre. Even Kat's early stock-footage-happy video blogs and Skype chats with Shackleton – filled with bleeps, bloops and catchy sea shanties – resemble a sort of foulmouthed “Bill Nye the History Guy” spin-off.

It's positively kitsch; but it has kitsch appeal. It's a radical '90s remix of a musical worth checking out.

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.
