Bellevue superintendent: Failing schools sends 'wrong message' to parents, students

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue School District draws many parents here to ensure their children receive a top education, but earlier this month the district found itself holding a failing grade from the federal government — along with nearly every other district in the state.

It started with Congress failing to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2007. Washington state was granted a flexibility waiver two years ago, which was not renewed in March after the Legislature failed to comply with the U.S. Department of Education's mandate that

student assessment scores be a factor in teacher and principal evaluations.

This was even after the state was granted another year to comply, states Education Secretary Arne Duncan in a letter J. Tim Mills to Washington Superintendent Randy Dorn, and Washington had been on "high-risk status" since Aug. 14, 2013.

The only way a school could avoid receiving a failing grade was for all students to reach average yearly progress under the state assessment, which meant most of

Washington's 295 school districts were marked as failing earlier this month once scores were released in July.

"What this has done is it has created a perception of some schools being not very good, which also then sends a message that the students just aren't as capable, which is just the wrong message," said Bellevue Superintendent Tim Mills. "… I don't know how widespread the perception is, because the Bellevue School District — for many years — has been very well-respected for high quality."

Silver Glen celebrates 20 years of golden-years living

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

A group of senior citizens in Bel-Red celebrated, on Aug. 17, 20 years of operating one of the few co-op 55-and-older living communities in Washington state.

While current president and founding member Ed Holcomb said he did not believe Silver Glen was the only senior co-op in the area, it’s in a class of few: it’s the only Washington state residence listed by the Senior Cooperative Foundation and Senior Cooperative Living. It’s a model more popular on the East Coast — where all-ages cooperative housing is already normative in densely populated cities — and particularly in Minnesota.

The cooperative housing model is based on the idea of group ownership and governance of an “intentional community.” Rather than rent an apartment from another company, co-op members buy in as shareholders of a corporation that owns the housing. A member’s share price is based on the size of their apartment unit, but all voting rights are equal. Membership and dues grant housing ownership, pay for utilities, provide access to any on-site amenities and voting rights to decide how the corporation manages operations that affect day-to-day life. It’s a cheap living arrangement to own and operate and when a tenant decides to sell their apartment and leave, they typically recoup their investment and then some, Holcomb said.

In Silver Glen, the members elect a board of directors, who elect executive officers like Holcomb. The officers answer to the board and the board answers to members at election time.

From left: Pattsie Brown, Ed Holcomb and Sylvia Snow are three of the 16 remaining founding members of the Silver Glen co-op. DANIEL NASH, Bellevue Reporter Members likewise take on voluntary responsibility for the upkeep of the grounds and various operations.

“If no one wants to volunteer for something, that’s an area where we have to hire someone,” Holcomb said.

It works out: Since Silver Glen is meant for independent and active seniors – it’s not an assisted living facility,

Holcomb stressed – so tenants like to keep up their favorite hobbies when they move in. For many, that hobby was gardening; the facility grounds were landscaped by residents, with heavy lifting done by maintenance staff.

Sylvia Snow manages the hiring of local high school students as servers in the dining room. She worked in the restaurant business with her husband before they retired and spent much of her free time volunteering in high school offices, including 20 years with Newport High School.

“I love teenagers,” Snow said. “A lot of people my age don’t, but I’ve worked with them a long time.”

If a resident wants to start an exercise class, writing group, art club or any other social activity, they can.

Silver Glen opened in 1994 following the culmination of a plan that came out of Group Health’s Senior Caucus. Seed money came from Group Health and initial advertising was in the Group Health newsletter.

That was how Pattsie Brown and Snow came to move in to Silver Glen, while construction was still ongoing in some parts of the building. Brown was attracted to the facility’s wellness program, an ongoing program in which experts come to speak about matters of health and longevity.

But Brown said Silver Glen has been defined, for her, by the friendships she’s made there. She remembered her first week in 1994, when she and other residents who had applied independently found themselves recognizing familiar faces — she and Holcomb, for example, were old high school classmates.

“There were lots of moments like that, where people would see someone they recognized and shout ‘Hey you!,’” Brown said.

Silver Glen is located at 1750 152nd Ave. N.E. Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com

Former Medina Police Chief Jeffrey Chen lost a racial discrimination lawsuit against the city on Aug. 21. He had been awarded $2 million in 2013 following a jury finding in favor of the former police chief 's discrimination claim against the city and its manager at the time, Donna Hanson; Chen stated Hanson made racist comments toward him due to his Chinese descent.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Zilly threw Jeffrey Chen out the verdict in January, causing a retrial to occur earlier this year.

The jury returned a verdict on Aug. 21, stating the city had not taken adverse employment actions against Chen based on his race.

Chen had resigned from the city on Dec. 17, 2010, following an investigation into allegations he had been accessing the city manager and mayor's emails. He allegedly acquired a login and password to the email system through the city clerk.

The former police chief rescinded his resignation six days later, and Hanson placed

him on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Chen was fired on April 27, 2011, following a due process hearing seven days earlier. Chen sued the city for wrongful termination in December 2011, and sought $14 million in damages.

Chen's lawsuit had included allegations of a hostile work environment, breaches of employment policy, procedural due process and his First Amendment rights as a whistleblower.

Chen's allegations of racism against Hanson included a March 2009 discussion, where he claims the former city manager used offensive language while speaking about a Homeland Security grant pending review: "Stop badgering me on this issue, I can't decide right at this moment, besides, I thought you Chinese people were supposed to be more patient than this!"

Hanson resigned from the city following the first finding in favor of Chen, where a jury awarded him $2 million in damages.

Hanson's severance agreement with the city included a year's salary and nearly $58,000 in retirement compensation.

What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere

City seeks conversion of Mercer Slough land for light rail

Bellevue is seeking approval to convert 1.06 acres of Mercer Slough Nature Park land to transportation uses to support Sound Transit’s East Link extension.

As light rail will run along Bellevue Way Southeast, the city is making its request to the State Recreation and Conservation Funding Board and National Park Service, and plans to replace lost parkland to the north and south by purchasing and adding six acres of parkland to the east.

Parkland lost in the conversion is valued at $495,000, while the replacement property is valued at $633,120. The city is required to replace lost land in the Mercer Slough Nature Park under conditions of a federal Land and Water Conservation Fund and other grants received in the 1970s.

The Bellevue Parks and Community Services Board will hear a presentation about the proposal 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 at the Bellevue Golf Course Clubhouse Conference Room. Public comment will be accepted at this meeting.

The golf course is located at 5500 140th Ave. N.E.

Crossroads Community Center closing for theater construction

The Crossroads Community Center will close Sept. 1-14 to accommodate completion of the new Bellevue Youth Theatre in Crossroads Park.

It will be the final closure of the community center to complete the $8.8-million, 12,000-square-foot theater.

Foundation awards grants

Several Bellevue organizations were the recipients of grants from the Sheng-Yen Lu Foundation (SYL Foundation) at an award ceremony Aug. 23 at the Meydenbauer Center attended. The foundation awarded $257,500 to 16 nonprofit organizations. The Bellevue Schools Foundation received one of 10 education grants.

International Community Health Services that has a facility in Bellevue, received on of six health care grants.

Since its creation six years ago, SYL Foundation has distributed over $1,500,000 in health and education grants, international disaster relief aid, and scholarships.

teacher evaluation system, which allows flexibility between a teacher and a principal to decide if student assessment scores should factor in. He added teachers do not seem to oppose using student progress as a factor in evaluations, but object to narrowing that scope to state-mandated testing.

"It's not required, and it's not that every teacher has to have that," he said.

Like other failing schools, Bellevue must now set aside 20 percent of its Title I funding — based on the number of students receiving free or reduced meals — to cover the cost of students opting to attend other schools. Mills said the option for supplemental education services isn't limited to struggling students, which doesn't make sense to him.

"This is not about Bellevue schools not wanting to be accountable," he said. "… The reality of it is it's just very political."

While many Washington school districts depend heavily on Title I funding, Mills said Bellevue's share is fairly minimal, given about 21-22 percent of students in the district receive free or reduced meals. He added the district has yet to receive a clear answer whether it can opt out of Title I funding.

"We may not have the option to opt out, however," he said. "… Right now, these are the rules that we need to abide by."

Mills joined 27 other superintendents with the Puget Sound Educational Service District in signing a letter to parents of area students this month, letting them know the ESEA waiver had been pulled. He said there were not too many responses to the letter, but a fair amount of interest in supplemental education services at one of two open house meetings held by the district last week.

The problem is only expected to become more complicated starting this year as Washington joins a number of western states in switching to the Smarter

7th Annual

Balanced Assessment Consortium. Several BSD schools piloted the test, but were not allowed to see the first year's results. That means it will be even more difficult for teachers to know how to prepare students for this new assessment this year, Mills said.

School starts on Tuesday.

paring student materials, putting up posters, cleaning desks and more.

"They helped putting desks away, putting away materials, helped putting up bulletin boards," said Akemi Chavez, a first-grade dual language teacher at Sherwood. "They are so willing and so helpful. They want to help."

Duanne Owen remembers her first year volunteering at Stevenson Elementary in 2005, and said she couldn't remember missing a year since.

"Then it kept growing and growing and, of course, more schools wanted to be involved," she said. "When they found more churches wanted to get involved, they got involved."

Kindergarten teacher Shavonne Roeter said this was her first year taking advantage of the program, and was grateful to watch the hours she would have spent preparing her classroom by herself being greatly reduced by a number of Jubilee volunteers.

"I was so thankful for the help," she said. "It's a lot of work to do all on your own."

EDITORIAL

Time to pay the price for poverty, education

O

n the Opinion page today is an article by Paul Sutton, commenting on our editorial last week. He doesn’t like that we tagged the Legislature and the state teachers union for causing our state to lose a federal waiver to the No Child Left Behind Act. As a result, almost all the school districts in our state have to send a letter to parents saying that their kids’ schools are failing.

The schools aren’t failing, but that’s not the real issue here and the article’s author, Paul Sutton, makes some excellent points.

He’s right that the real issue isn’t failing schools, but poverty. When people are stuck in poverty, too often they don’t have the means or the hope to help their children find a better future.

We agree with him that the best, long-term solution would be solving the poverty issue. However, doing that won’t necessarily help kids struggling in schools today. Too many of them have been stuck too long in what looks like a bleak future without a clear way to do better.

That’s why we said that one answer — short-term, if you like — is to pour more resources into schools and target students who, for whatever reasons, need more time and help to move ahead and achieve the knowledge that will be so valuable to them in the future.

Resources, of course, really means money. We need to pay for more teachers to provide more hours per day of instruction for more days per year to help those students who need this extra help to succeed.

Yes, working to solve poverty’s root issues is necessary, but curing poverty today won’t wave a magic wand over students at the fifth, eighth or high school grade level and make the past disappear.

The issue, as always, comes down to money. If we’re serious about improving the lives of everyone in our country, then we must commit to paying the price.

It will be costly, but it’s a cost we need to face – and pay.

Why schools ‘fail’

T

he Aug. 22 editorial on school failures somewhat misses the mark.

Editor Craig Groshart blames the teachers union and state legislators for politicizing education by “not meeting the requirements” that classify schools as successful set forth by the federal government.

The reason why schools are classified as failing is because the formula the federal government uses is idiotic. Teachers unions and state legislators refused to comply with Paul Sutton the federal mandate because they refused to consider student test scores in teacher evaluations, otherwise known as valueadded measures.

They were wise to do so.

A growing number of research studies have refuted the validity of value-added measures. In the past year, the two biggest proponents of value-added measures, the Department of Education and the Gates Foundation, changed course and proposed a moratorium on the use of

Question of the week:

“ Do you think our schools are failing?”

value-added measures in teacher evaluations. Supported by the research, teachers and state legislators “balked” because it was the ethical and moral thing to do.

The more important point is this: The current rhetoric around education reform is deeply problematic. It assumes that the way the federal government distinguishes between failing and high achieving schools is fair and just. It is not. It also assumes that the hard work teachers, counselors, and administrators do in the classroom can negate myriad complicating factors students and families face as a result of poverty. They cannot.

Obviously, teachers, the pedagogy they use, and the curriculum they teach matter. However, we have to stop looking to teachers and schools to fix the social problems we ignore.

Studies have repeatedly shown the effects of poverty are more significant on a student’s readiness to learn than just about anything they experience inside of school, even the quality of their teacher.

The overwhelming effects of inequality, inequity, and poverty are the primary SEE SUTTON, 7

Bellevue sees new schools, new programs

F

all is an exciting time of the year for those of us who serve in public education. It’s a time for new beginnings, as students and teachers head into the classroom.

It’s also a time to celebrate our achievements and focus on our goals for the year ahead.

In 2013-14, our district implemented significant curriculum and instructional programs that support our goal of providing each and every student J. Tim Mills with an education that will allow them to excel in life after high school. Our Instructional Initiatives focused our efforts in three areas of support for all students, academic success, career and college readiness and understanding and developing a positive and productive life. These three initiatives serve as our primary goals for the next five years.

This coming year, we will continue the work by expanding our elementary STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) pilot to 10 elementary schools. In 2015-16, all of our elementary schools will provide STEM related education. Naviance, a college and career readiness curriculum will be in its third year of implementation and provides support and guidance for students who are planning

SUTTON

post-secondary goals for life after high school.

Naviance will be expanded this year to support all students in grades 6-12, districtwide.

RULER, our social emotional curriculum is in the second year of implementation and continues to provide our students with instruction and support on building a positive and productive life.

Meanwhile our capital construction team is hard at work rebuilding our schools, to support the curriculum and instruction we are delivering to students. Chinook Middle School is starting the school year in their brand new building. Odle Middle School is temporarily located at Ringdall, while their old building is being rebuilt. Enatai Elementary School and Tillicum Middle School are in the design phase and will be rebuilt in 2015-16 and 2016-18, respectively.

This is an exciting time to be in the Bellevue School District. We are very grateful and blessed to be in a community that supports and values education. Bellevue voters came out in full support of our schools and passed all three school funding measures with an approval rating of 71 percent or higher in February of this year. The local funding approved by voters provides daily operational and program support for all our schools.

The capital construction bond allows us to complete Phase III of our plan to rebuild all district schools. We also are thankful for the continued and focused support from the community through the Bellevue Schools Foundation. From its inception in 1979 the foundation has made significant impact by helping to fund key programs for our students and teachers.

We are grateful for your confidence and support of our efforts to support every student, every day.

Gun check backers loaded

O

ur state’s super wealthy social changers are at it again.

Two years after their money helped make charter schools possible, the Ballmers, the Gateses and Nick Hanauer are sending some of their loose millions to the campaign for Initiative 594, the measure on the November ballot which would expand the state’s background check law to cover most gun sales conducted at gun shows and online.

Their checks went to the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility whose strategists will, sometime after Labor Day, start spending the dough on television commercials.

The alliance can afford to wait because it is already Jerry Cornfield getting a boost from a million-dollar ad campaign paid for by its nonprofit alter ego, the Center for Gun Responsibility.

Since Aug. 8, the center has been running dozens of 30-second commercials as part of an “education” campaign dubbed “Background Checks Make A Difference.” The effort is set to end Sept. 5.

What’s nice about this campaign finance nuance is it also allows the Center for Gun Responsibility to keep secret the source of its money. Center spokeswoman Molly Boyajian noted in an email that the nonprofit has received “gifts from local individuals, partner organizations, foundations, and our national

partners.”

One of those partners is Everytown for Gun Safety, founded by Michael Bloomberg, the super rich ex-mayor of New York. He’s pledged to spend boatloads of money in every corner of the country to help enact tougher gun control laws. I-594 fits his investment profile perfectly.

While billionaires soak up attention for their prodigious checks, where is the National Rifle Association in all of this?

The NRA does have a political action committee to oppose I-594. The NRA did contribute $25,000 to its PAC in July then spent most of it on staff, probably to have them survey the landscape. They couldn’t have liked what they discovered.

An Elway Poll in July found 70 percent of voters – many of them in the vote-rich Pugetopolis – “inclined” to back Initiative 594.

Three months earlier, in April, an Elway Poll found the level of support at 72 percent.

NRA leaders must decide whether it is worth trying to convince voters in one state in the far corner of the country to defeat an initiative, or focus on keeping members of Congress from changing the background check law for the nation. The next few days will be very telling.

WSP showcases tools for identifying drugged drivers

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Law enforcement officers in Washington are no longer just asking drivers if they've been drinking when they're pulled over, as legalized marijuana in the state adds the question, "Have you smoked anything today?"

The Washington State Patrol on Wednesday brought in local drug recognition experts to explain the process for determining driver impairment during traffic stops for substances other than alcohol, which takes about 45 minutes and typically happens after an arrest has been made.

Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden said the effects of alcohol and marijuana are not only different, but the effects of marijuana can also differentiate among users based on factors like smoking-versus-ingesting and the potency of marijuana and its products.

Equiplment for performing tests on suspected impaird drivers is carried by law enforcement personnel. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter "You don't know if you're drinking tequila marijuana or light beer marijuana," she said.

While 5 nanograms per milligram is the limit for marijuana impairment through blood testing, it doesn't mean a driver under the limit isn't still impaired. It is

Overlake Medical Center to offer free health screenings People wondering or worried about their blood pressure or cholesterol can get a free health screening next month at Overlake Medical Centers.

The screenings will include cardiac and diabetes risk assessments and include time for people to speak directly with physicians during Overlake’s third annual Eastside Vitality Health Month.

There will be Community Health Fairs held weekly

also difficult to say how soon following consumption of marijuana a person should get behind the wheel.

"Our recommendation is better to be safe than sorry," Harnden said, adding marijuana legalization occurred in Washington quickly, leaving little time for research to be done to assist police with enforcement.

"I know Colorado is in the same boat as we are. It's just a matter of learning more and more."

There are five drug recognition experts within the Bellevue Police Department — 215 in the state. All DREs undergo rigorous training to be able to detect drug impairment, and Harnden said many impaired drivers tend to be under the influence of more than one drug.

Drivers have the option of refusing to take the test, which is usually done in a quieter setting than the side of the road, Harnden said. Because of the course drugs

throughout September from 8-11 a.m. on: ■ Saturday, Sept. 6 at Overlake Medical Clinics Kirkland; ■ Saturday, Sept. 13 at Overlake Medical Clinics Issaquah; ■ Saturday, Sept. 20 at Overlake Medical Clinics Redmond; and ■ Saturday, Sept. 27 at Overlake Medical Center Main Campus in Bellevue.

In addition, Eastside Vitality Health Month will serve as an opportunity for the community to familiarize themselves with the different Overlake Medical Clinics’ primary

take in a person's system, blood testing should be performed within two hours of an arrest.

"In my experience, almost all of them agree to do it," she said. "… A warrant is always the safest, easiest path to go down."

Law enforcement officers are currently asking drivers a number of questions, such as medical history and physical maladies that may affect movement, as well as things like examining their eyes for dilation and muscle tensity. Harnden said Washington State University is currently developing a roadside breath test for marijuana, which could be a great asset to police.

Harnden added it has been some time since drug impairment training has been done for educators, which is an offer she recently made to the Bellevue School District.

care physicians and cardiologists. The final event at the main hospital campus in Bellevue will feature additional skin cancer spot checks, target heart rate readings and body mass index assessments, as well as carotid ultrasounds for those with high risk screening results. There also will be Overlake surgeons on hand to demonstrate robotic surgery and nutritionists available to discuss diabetes and tips for eating healthy.

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Redevelopment in Old Bellevue forced Rudy’s Barbershop to take a brief hiatus several months ago, but twohour wait times for a trim during its grand reopening last weekend was proof customers are glad to have it back, said CEO Vy Le. “I think what Rudy’s does well is build that community center,” she said.

And the new 14-chair Bellevue location on Main Street is a buildup on that, now one of the biggest Rudy’s Barbershops in the country. A stone’s throw from the former barbershop site — slated to be razed for The Gateway mixeduse project — Le said customers flooded her inbox with ideas before she settled on the old Jasmine Thai building.

“This building came from a customer who knew our brand, who knew this was happening,” she said, adding the buildout took about three months to complete. “We kept a lot of the original aspects of it, like the wood.”

Expo showcases next dimension in printing

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

3D printing has existed in one form or another since the ‘80s, but its myriad capabilities are quickly expanding its popularity into the mainstream. Its allure assembled entrepreneurs and enthusiasts by the thousands at the two-day 3D Printer World Expo in Bellevue last week.

“I think a lot of people in this industry think this is going to be the next big disruptive event, much like the PC years ago,” said John Mertel with 3D Bento.

Mertel gave expo participants a demonstration of Robox, a $1,400 3D printer that has now launched in the United States. Using specialized plastics, the printer pieces together the solid form of whatever object it’s programmed to copy.

He said many of the small figurines printed and on display can take hours to make. Hobbyists enjoy this, but manufacturers are also continuing to explore practical uses for 3D printers, like copying parts for devices, tools and more.

“If you can imagine this now, they’re making houses with 3D printers,” Mertel said.

3D Plus Me lured expo-goers in droves to its booth, where people were given the option of becoming one of their favorite superheroes.

Founder Cydni Tetro said 3D Plus Me has been making the rounds at events like Comic Cons in San Diego and Chicago with its device, which uses facial scanning to print a person’s likeness onto a figurine of one of their favorite Marvel comic book characters. The company also has licensing rights for Major League Baseball, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and more.

bellevuereporter.com

“In the Marvel world, Captain America and Iron Man are neck and neck,” she said of those scanning themselves onto superheroes.

Microsoft isn’t interested in manufacturing 3D printers, but came out during the two-day event to promote its 3D Builder software, which is free at the Windows store.

Program manager Steve Olsson said Microsoft has been releasing updated versions of 3D Builder over the past year, hoping to get people interested in 3D printing and Windows 8.1. The program allows people to create things like trophies, toys and miniatures using predesigned templates.

be back here. Bellevue’s changed a lot.”

With its larger structure and parking lot, Le said Rudy’s was also able to bring in all of its partners, which includes Krochet Kids International and Public Bikes. Le said Rudy’s partnered with San Francisco-based Public Bikes to encourage clean transportation, offering discounts to those buying the bikes at the barbershop and discounts on haircuts to those using the bikes to get to their appointments. Krochet Kids International employs women in Northern Uganda and Peru to produce sellable clothing, the proceeds going back to the communities where they’re made.

But it’s been Caffe Vita’s pop-up coffee shop at Rudy’s — its first in Bellevue — that has been getting a lot of the buzz, said Le. Fenton said about half of those coming through the door are looking for coffee, which is being offered for free through Sept. 5.

“The partnership is incredible,” said Pearl Nelson with Caffe Vita. “We’re very excited to work together.”

Nelson said Caffe Vita has plans to expand at Rudy’s, into a full-size coffee shop, and will continue its business model of good coffee and support for local artists. He said Rudy’s and Caffe Vita are also collaborating on the barbershop’s next location in West Seattle.

Le said she also has plans for the old metal trailer that had been used for temporary signage at Rudy’s. Some of it is secret, but she said it includes redesigning the trailer to take “on tour” to explore its potential in October.

Rudy’s Barbershop is located at 10713 Main St., Bellevue. Find out more at Rudysbarbershop.com or by calling 425-4671462.

Obregon, a 19-year-old student, was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States when she was 11. She attended Lindbergh High School in Renton, where she lived with her mother and stepfather.

Newport Knights goalie Sydney Tomlinson displays a fearless attitude

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Tomlionson knows that she has a lot of responsibility as goalie, ‘but it’s really fun.’ SHAUN SCOTT, Bellevue Reporter club team (Eastside FC G96 Red). They are one of the best club teams in the area. She is a big part of that."

The coach said Tomlinson's skills are noticed most when the ball is in flight on corner kicks.

"When the ball is in the air she is just a force. She comes out hard and gets her hands on the ball," he said.

Not only is Tomlinson aggressive, she's a true student of the game.

"She is a great communicator. The best thing about her is that she is vocal. She has no problem getting the backline (defenders) set up," Savette said. "She keeps our team amped up and charged up. It's exciting and cool to see."

Newport Knights goalie Sydney Tomlinson plays with reckless abandon on the soccer field.

Tomlinson, who has been the starting goalie for the Knights soccer program since the second game of her freshman season in 2011, is ferocious when the ball is in the air near the goal.

"You just can't be afraid," Tomlinson said.

Knights' head coach Jake Savette said Tomlinson is one of most talented goalies in the Class 4A KingCo Division.

He also believes she is one of the most underrated players in the area. The Knights won just two games during the 2013 season, which he believes contributes to the lack of attention Tomlinson receives.

"We haven't had the success that we've needed so Sydney doesn't really get the shine that she deserves. She's been one of the best goal-keepers in the league for the past few years," Savette said. "Sydney is the starting keeper on her

overing sports in the talent-laden athletic regions of the Eastside is a dream job for a sports journalist.

I have always admired the tradition of excellence exhibited in the world of high school athletics by teams from the Bellevue, Issaquah and Sammamish regions, even if it was from afar. It seemed like every time I checked the bracket of the state playoffs over the past decade for the wide assortment of high school state tournaments/competitions, that teams and athletes from this area dominated bracket sheets located on the WIAA website.

Prior to accepting the sports reporter position with the Bellevue Reporter and Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter, I was the sports editor with the Puyallup Herald for nearly seven years. Change is a constant in modern day society and I’m ecstatic about making the move north Shaun Scott to be your sports reporter.

My first day on the job was on Aug. 22.

I’ve worked in journalism as a full-time writer since September 2005 and earned a bachelor’s degree in communication from Washington State University in July 2004. I grew up in the small town of Belfair, which is 71 miles west of Bellevue on the Kitsap Peninsula.

My philosophy as a journalist is to delve beyond the box scores, stats and the standings. The key to telling a great story is to discover the smallest of details and present them in a manner where readers feel like they’re in the midst of the action. That is what it’s all about and is something I strive for on a daily basis.

I’m looking forward not only to covering high school athletics, but also writing articles about community athletic endeavors and outdoor recreation as well. This area has a wide variety of activities going on simultaneously and I plan on covering as much ground as I possibly can for this community. My passion for sports is immense and I cannot wait to tell your stories.

The fall is one of the busiest times of the year for sports reporters, which is something I embrace wholeheartedly.

September can’t get here soon enough. Please feel free to contact me by email or phone anytime if you have a potential story idea you would like to share.

A motor that never stops Interlake offensive lineman/ defensive lineman Vamsi Anam packs a powerful punch

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Determination and toughness define Interlake Saints senior Vamsi Anam on the gridiron.

Anam may only be 5 feet, 11 and weigh 175 pounds, but he utilizes everything he has to wreak havoc in the trenches as an offensive tackle and defensive end. Interlake head coach David Myers said Anam is one of the stronBEYOND THE gest players on the squad.

"Vamsi is always in the weight room and just works so hard," Myers said. "He is one of the hardest workers on the team."

Anam said he doesn't have a favorite weightlifting exercise because there isn't a particular lift he doesn't enjoy.

ATHLETE

VA: I don't really have an idol, it's just motivation. I'm a first-generation American and I want to do the best I can for my family.

BR: Where do you see yourself in five years?

VA: Studying architecture in college.

"I just do whatever it takes to try to be the best player I can be. I'm trying to get to college football so I show up in the weight room every day." Anam said. "I just like the concept of lifting."

Myers said Anam is one of many players on the Saints roster who will play on both sides of the ball this fall. The Saints had an overall record of 1-9 last season but expect things to improve in 2014.

"We want to do things fast. We want to get to the line fast, we want to snap the ball fast and we want to practice fast. It's all about being efficient in practice. We have guys who are going to be going both ways so we have to make the best use of our time at practice," Myers said.

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Anam a few questions about his life away from the football field.

Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

The senior keeper said she enjoys being the leader of the defense.

"There is a lot of responsibility but it's really fun. Sometimes I can make the wrong call which is kind of annoying on my part, but I do the best I can to help the team," Tomlinson said.

Tomlinson said the Knights soccer team is a close-knit group.

"The team gets along really well together so leading the team is not that hard. We have a lot of fun and we want to make it fun. There is a lot of other really strong teams out there in our league and we know that," Tomlinson said. "If we can just make it fun and come together out there as a team, that's really our goal."

Savette said Tomlinson's stellar high school career speaks for itself.

"She is one of the few keepers at this high school who have started right from the get-go as a freshman. Sydney was a lot shyer when she first came to the team as a freshman. Its great to see her come into her own," he said. "Now she is the leader of the program and is comfortable with that. That's really cool."

BR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2015?

VA: The Seattle Seahawks. They're an awesome team.

BR: Who is your favorite athlete of all time?

VA: It is Kam Chancellor (Seattle Seahawks strong safety). He hits hard and pursues everything. He's just a great player.

BR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be?

VA: I would go with my family. Family time is always good. I enjoy being around them.

Anam’s favs: Seahawks and architecture.

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?

VA: When people are slacking off on the football field.

BR: Who was your idol growing up?

Then and Now CELEBRATE OUR LOCAL HISTORY

Bellevue Reporter goes full circle to its community news roots The Bellevue Reporter will celebrate its 10th birthday in September, but it's heritage goes back decades before that.

It's lineage can be traced back to the Bellevue American, a weekly newspaper that published under that name from 1930 to 1976. It then merged with Kirkland's Eastside Journal and became the daily Journal American and operated from 1976-79. The daily eventually became the Eastside Journal.

Under a different publisher, the company then bought the Fournier Newspapers in South King County that published three newspapers: the Renton Record-Chronical, the Kent News-Journal, and the Auburn GlobeNews. Those three papers then became the Valley Daily News.

Later, that paper and the Eastside Journal merged in 2002 to become the King County Journal with an initial combined circulation of 60,000 and circulation from Auburn to Bothell.

The weekly newspaper presence wasn't lost for long. In addition to the daily newspaper, the company published nine community newspa-

pers ranging from Bothell/Kenmore to Kent. Two were published weekly, while the other seven were published twice monthly. The Bellevue Reporter was one of those.

A complete change back to its weekly roots began in 2006 when Sound Publishing bought the King County Journal goup. It closed the daily King County Journal on Jan. 21, 2007 and immediately began adding to the group of Reporter Newspapers that circulate in most of the cities on the Eastside and in South King County. Sound Publishing already owned a group of newspapers on the west side of Puget Sound.

Today Sound Publishing is the largest community publishing organization in the state.

Through all these years, the Bellevue community has been served by local news and advertising, regardless of the name on the newspaper's front page.

Today, the Reporter maintains a dynamic print and a dynamic online pressence with nearly 60,000 unique visitors to our website (www.bellevuereporter.com) along with being active on Facebook and Twitter. And soon, watch

for our new email newsletter.

Our award-winning staff brings continues you the who, what, where, when, why and how of the fifth largest city in Washington state. From the high-tech world of world of Microsoft and Nintendo, to its nationally recog-

nized school system, the city’s top-notch suburban lifestyle and amenities, and the shops and shopping of the Bellevue Collection and Neiman Marcus, the Bellevue Reporter brings it all to your front porch.– and your computer, table and smart phone.

Bellevue College 50th Anniversary BC will celebrate its 50th anniversary in the 2015-2016 school year. You'll be hearing a lot more about this in the next year, and you can start to get involved now.

Patsy Cline cover concert kicks off UPAC season

Meg McLynn. PHOTO BY JASON GANWICH

Unity of Bellevue will resurrect country legend Patsy Cline next week when it hosts a cover concert.

“Foolin’ Around: The Patsy Cline Songbook” will be held in the church’s rebranded Unity Performing Arts Center on Sept. 5.

New York vocalist and entertainer Meg McLynn will perform nearly 30 songs from Cline’s repertoire, accompanied by the six-piece Purple Phoenix country band. The performance will be staged in the style of casino showrooms in the 1960s and ‘70s.

Cline — famous for songs like “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “Faded Love” and “Sweet Dreams” — rose to fame in the

late 1950s and ‘60s and joined the cast of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry in 1960. She died in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of 30.

“Foolin’ Around” is the first of a three-show celebrity songbook series that will include the works of Frank Sinatra in October and those of Nat King Cole in November.

Leadership at Unity of Bellevue, a church in the “New Thought” movement of Christianity, has opened up the campus’s stage to public performance for the 2014-2015 season. The Unity Performing Arts Center is a moderately sized venue with space for an audience of 300.

windy,” he said. “It was relentless in Iceland.

We were battling the elements at all times.”

The film came together swiftly, launched from Sundance ’13 and debuting there the following January.

“Ordinarily there’s a year between wrapping and getting a final cut and then getting it out there [in theaters],” Eenhoorn said.

“It can be a two-year cycle. I looked at Aaron and Martha’s work, and I thought ‘I really want to shoot with these guys.’ And then David Gordon Green came on [as an executive producer; he being the director of “Pineapple Express” and “Joe”]. And I

(425) 679-6436

In any story carried by two actors — be it a comedy duo, stage play, or ballet pas de deux — each key performer is responsible for half the pleasure. In the case of “Land Ho!,” most of the press attention has been focused on Kentucky eye surgeon Earl Lynn Nelson, a nonactor who plays the more flamboyant role of Mitch. But the quieter and much more actorly, responsive role — don’t you dare call him a sidekick!

— is that of Colin, played by the Australian expat and Bellevue resident Paul Eenhoorn.

So how, I asked Eenhoorn last month, did he end up in the Northwest?

“I met my wife in Sydney,” he explained.

“She’s a northwesterner And after a few years I came here. I moved for love, 14 or 15 years ago.”

Before then, Eenhoorn had mostly been a jobbing actor on Australian TV. Moving here meant he had to reestablish a career.

“All my work was done in Australia. It’s really hard to be an actor in the Northwest,” he said. “The opportunities aren’t that huge, not if you want to make a living out of it.

But I’ve been lucky: I’ve got a couple good

films, and that helps.”

Specifically, those would be “This Is Martin Bonner” — a festival darling that made the rounds at SIFF and Sundance last year — and now the much-praised “Land Ho!” “I appreciate the attention,” said Eenhoorn, who jokingly calls himself “a person naturally inclined to depression.” In the vicissitudes of his trade, “When you’re an actor, you’re up. And then when you get back home and down on the ground: ‘Oh that’s the end. My life is over. I’ll never work again. What’s gonna happen next?’”

Yet what happened with “Land Ho!,” he explains, is that co-directors Aaron Katz and Martha Stephens “both knew Chad Hartigan, who directed Martin Bonner.”

One good job led to another, though the project began oddly: “We didn’t have a script when they hired me. Only like 20 pages. We shot the first scene. They made a 10-minute cut of the first scene, and that’s what brought the financiers on board. And then they wrote the script.”

After that, Iceland! Crew members pulled double-duty acting in many roles and the script was partly improvised, Eenhoorn recalled.

“It was fall, and it was always cold or

ing movies on Comcast On Demand. I’m social, but I’ve kind of been laying back a bit, just chilling out. I don’t get to Seattle as much as I should.”

Like any actor, he’s waiting for the next call.

“Who knows? Someone might phone me,” he said. “That’s how I got ‘Land Ho!’” Eenhoorn sounds philosophical about living so far from Hollywood.

“I’ve shot everything since I’ve been here, building a résumé. But choosing a script and playing a part I want to play ... I’m not seeing them here at the moment.” Even so, he adds, “Every time I fly home from L.A., I breathe a sigh of relief, because it’s so beautiful here.”

Eenhoorn understands his turn of luck.

“We’re doing pretty well,” he says of his latest film. “How could you not feel good about it? There’s plenty of good films that get made with good actors that get nowhere. If you’re lucky enough to have one that gets distributed, you’ve done a good job. I don’t think people understand how hard that is to achieve. At the same time, I’m walking on the ground and my feet are planted. I’m not going to go buy a Mercedes Benz.”

Moreover, Eenhoorn knows how this new film falls into the same graying demo that made hits of “Philomena,” “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” “The Trip” and other durable favorites of the AARP matinee set.

Mitch and Colin are men of a certain age,

worried about being put out to pasture. You have to have lived a few years to understand their fears and failures. Even if Eenhoorn isn’t nearly so quiet and reserved as his character, he knows what it’s like for Colin to have been put through the wringer.

And what’s Eenhoorn looking for next in his late-blooming career? “Young directors are the ones to work with. They make films about people. No crashes, no explosions, just people talking. I’m very much for stories. I’m very much against zombies.”

VIBES pairs kids with volunteers, finds everyone learns in the process Zemlin.

Volunteers are invited to attend coffees, workshops, and other events designed specifically for them throughout the year.

Volunteering also gives community members the opportunity to experience public education today.

“They see the incredible diversity of languages, cultures, and economic opportunities, and how hard our teachers are working to create success for each and every child,” Zemlin said.

More than 600 community members volunteered in Bellevue schools last year, but many more volunteers are needed. Students and classrooms in need are currently on waiting lists and additional needs will be identified this fall.

“Volunteers get so much personal satisfaction out of the experience,” said Hanlon. “It’s amazing how much of an impact you can

make just by being there.”

VIBES orientations are scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 24 and Thursday, Oct. 2, with sessions offered from 10:30 a.m. to noon and 6-7 p.m. each day. To learn more or request an application, visit bsd405. org/vibes, call 425-4564154, or email vibes@ bsd405.org.

Many of the volunteers in Bellevue’s public schools share a common secret: although their motive for volunteering is to help children, they often suspect they are getting more from the experience than the students they help. The truth is, of course, that volunteers and children reap very different – but often equally significant – rewards.

“VIBES (Volunteers in Bellevue’s Education System) is about making connections,” said VIBES Program Coordinator MaryEllen Zemlin. “We connect people with meaningful opportunities to make a difference.”

Funded in partnership between Bellevue Schools Foundation, Bellevue School District, and the city of Bellevue, the program has served as a model for others across the country.

A wide range of opportunities are available, from listening to kindergartners read aloud to working through advanced math

with high school students.

Some volunteers work with a single student while others support an entire classroom.

“Many of our applicants choose to volunteer because they had their own difficulties in school,” Zemlin said. “They understand and empathize with young struggling students. They make great role models and demonstrate that hard work and perseverance are worth it.”

VIBES volunteers come from all walks of life, from high school students to working professionals and retirees. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one hour per week for the school year.

“It takes time to build relationships,” explained VIBES Program Coordinator Sue Hanlon. “Volunteers who make a weekly commitment have an amazing impact on student success.”

The program can be a particularly good fit for seniors, who often have more flexible schedules.

“Volunteering is a great way to stay connected,” said
