Developer backs underground parking at Downtown Park Vander Hoek tells council he’s seeking solution to demand

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Carl Vander Hoek plans to return to the Bellevue City Council next week with strong endorsements to include underground parking in Downtown Park.

“And I’m going to help you guys pay for it,” he told the council Monday.

Project manager for his family’s company, the Vander Hoek Corporation, which owns substantial real estate holdings in Old Bellevue, Vander Hoek said he is gathering support for a proposal to address parking problems that park upgrades will inevitably create.

The city hopes to begin completing the circle of Downtown Park, which will in-

clude a new water feature and constructing an Inspiration Playground for youth and adults of all abilities through a partnership with the Rotary Club of Bellevue. Vander Hoek said the problem is that parking availability won’t increase at the park, despite its growing use for community and private events.

“We’re trying to make a different plan work in a short amount of time,” Vander Hoek told the Reporter.

City Planning Director Chris Salamone said underground parking at Downtown Park had been explored during planning in 1997, but did not go any further. He added the city was only considering parking needs for the park at the time, not outlying areas. The master plan for the park did not anticipate construction of the Inspiration Playground, he said.

The Washington State Department of Transportation has completed its State Route 520 Eastside Transit and HOV project to allow carpooling along heavily used portions of the highway.

State Route 520 project completion offers commuters relief

BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Commuters along State Route 520 are finding less congested traffic between Bellevue and Medina with the completion of new HOV lanes, wider shoulders and longer merging lanes at interchanges along a two-mile stretch of the highway.

A nearly three-and-a-half-year endeavor, the completion of the SR 520 Eastside Transit and HOV Project allows carpools

of three or more people, vanpools, motorcycles and transit vehicles access to HOV lanes along some of the most heavily used parts of the highway.

With more than 70,000 vehicles driving across SR 520 each weekday, Andrew Richardson, spokesperson for the Washington State Department of Transportation, said the project was vital for creating a better flow of traffic, especially as Bellevue’s population continues to grow.

On and off ramps from SR 520 were also

lengthened to make a more efficient corridor in both the eastbound and westbound sections of the highway, he said.

“Outside transit stops, especially at Evergreen, had a short merge, which created a huge bottleneck,” Richardson said. “Those have been moved to interior lanes and now the buses enter and exit the HOV lane on the inside, which will help traffic flow. We SEE 520, 19

Bellevue veteran Jim Nelson is on a “magnificent mission” to right what he sees as historic racial injustices committed against black soldiers and Medal of Honor recipients, now trying more than 100 years later to offer a few the burial service they didn’t get then.

It started decades ago in Nebraska, when Nelson came across the gravestone of Sgt. Maj. Emanuel Stance, the first black recipient of the Medal of Honor following the Civil War. “I knew that man should be in Arlington,” he said.

REP. ADAM Stance was killed on SMITH Christmas 1887 by his own troops. Nelson said it didn’t make sense for the decorated soldier to not be buried at the Arlington National Cemetery. He later found more buffalo soldiers he said deserved a proper burial.

“I just realized that this is a wrong that has gone on for 127 years and it needed to be corrected,” he said. “And the only reason these soldiers were forgotten was

Riders cycle the WAVE through Eastside

BY BRYAN TRUDE ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

About 1,000 cyclists and 350 volunteers took over Eastside streets Sunday, Sept. 14 to ride and raise money to help fight domestic violence in Washington.

Warm temperatures and sunny skies greeted the riders in the 7th annual “Cycle the WAVE” bike rally, hosted by the Women Against Violence Everywhere (WAVE) Foundation.

Sharon Anderson, WAVE president and board chair, estimated that close to $150,000 was raised for the foundation, though fundraising will continue through the end of September.

Although falling short of the 1,200 riders WAVE was expecting to attend, Anderson was “elated” with the turnout.

“With the change of location and the new routes we had this year, we were thrilled so many turned out to ride or volunteer,” she said.

The women-only bike rally helps to raise funds the foundation uses to support domestic abuse victim support groups, crisis and shelter services, and more throughout Washington state, while also working to increase awareness that domestic violence is a very real thing.

In light of increased attention paid to domestic violence issues in the media recently, Anderson says the act of bringing awareness is “huge.”

“It is so often not spoken about, and it is a hidden problem in our community,” she said. “Women and men affected by domestic

violence don’t speak about it, there is a lot of pain involved. It is a slow progression, but breaking the cycle is what we [WAVE] are about.”

Breaking the cycle and supporting those who have been victims of abuse drove many of the cyclists.

“My older sister was a victim of domestic violence, I’m out here riding because it affects my family, too,” Mary Crawford, of Renton, said.

Other riders saw the rally as a chance to

foster camaraderie.

“This is an all girl thing ... this is so supportive, it doesn’t matter that we don’t know each other,” Machiko Threlkeld, of Seattle, said.

On each of the four routes, ranging from the 14-mile “Little Sister” to the 61-mile “Burly Girl,” rest stations were manned by volunteers from area high schools and businesses.

Volunteers wore shirts bearing a logo designed by a student at Liberty High School. Area high schools also had teams of volunteers turn out for the rally, wearing shirts that matched their school’s colors.

“It’s good to support a good activity, especially when it is one with a good cause like this,” volunteer Cindy Enyeart said. Enyeart and other employees of Pine Lake Physical Therapy in Sammamish manned one rest station at Sammamish’s Beaver Lake Park.

This was the first year the rally was held at Bellevue College, after moving from last year’s rally point at Issaquah High School.

Anderson said “Cycle the WAVE” will be at Bellevue College “for the long haul.”

“We were really thrilled with the exposure we got. It was a great day,” Anderson said.

Fundraising will continue through the end of the month, and general donations are accepted all year. For more information on WAVE and instructions on how to donate, visit thewavefoundation.org.

Lord Balaji coming to Bellevue Vedic Cultural Center to open new temple

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Vedic Cultural Center of Sammamish is expanding its presence on the Eastside with a future Sri Balaji Temple in Bellevue that will share space with a K-5 cultural school once permits and renovations are completed.

The $5.1-million, 23,000-square-foot office building on the 12000 block of Bel Red Road was purchased last summer with a $1.5-million cash down payment.

Temple Director Nanda Suta said services will be held on the weekends, freeing up the planned Vedic Institute for Benevolent Education to operate weekdays. The VCC is still raising $200,000 for interior renovations.

“This school will be opened to anyone who would like to join,” Suta said.

“It’s not going to be a temple-

Temple Director Nanda Suta stands outside the Forum West building on Bel Red Road, which is the future site of the Sri Balaji Temple and Vedic Institute for Benevolent Education. or faith-based organization.”

VIBE will focus on vedic education, arts, culture, music, dance and spirituality.

“We need to realize that there are finite resources in the world, there are limited things in the world for people to share and to use, and we need to be in harmony with each other,” Suta said of the vedic teachings that would be incorporated into a more traditional school curriculum.

Lord Balaji in Hindu culture is a form of the Hindu god Vishnu, and is revered

for answering the prayers of those facing misfortune.

Construction is anticipated to begin next spring at the Forum West building on 12501 Bel Red Road, with hopes of opening the school next fall, said Suta, and the temple shortly before then.

“We are working with the city of Bellevue diligently,” Suta said of the permitting process. “We are chugging along as best we can.”

Time to address parking in Old Bellevue, Downtown Park

B

ellevue’s downtown continues to boom, with more cranes and more tall buildings on the way. Rightly, Bellevue officials are focused on making sure the projects and plans work in the city’s favor.

But central downtown isn’t the only place things are popping. Old Bellevue on and around Main Street and the city’s Downtown Park also are experiencing or are in line for new development. Attention by City Hall is needed here, too.

Fortunately, Bellevue business leaders seem ready to step up to the task.

Merchants in Old Bellevue and the Downtown Park share a common concern: parking. Or more specifically, the lack of enough of it.

Old Bellevue has seen a growth of residential complexes with street-level retail over the last few years with more now on the way. As for the Downtown Park, the city plans to complete the circle and is working with the Rotary Club of Bellevue to design and install an Inspiration Playground in the park’s southwest corner that will provide amenities and activities for youth and adults of all abilities.

Carl Vander Hoek, of the Vander Hoek Corporation, which has a long connection with Old Bellevue, told the Reporter that the development of the Downtown Park and the Inspiration Playground provides the last opportunity to place underground parking there, which would prevent parking from spilling into Old Bellevue and surrounding neighborhoods. He’s likely right.

Support seems to be gathering from the Bellevue Downtown Association, Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Bellevue to address this parking need.

City officials also note that Old Bellevue’s strong, recent development and the playground at the park have changed the area since the city last did a comprehensive parking study of the area.

The city should make this a priority and fast-track a solution.

Library book sale

Rare books await you I have a book problem. This is actually a bigger problem for my carpenter husband.

He builds bookshelves and I quickly fill them up. The first year we were married he built an oak bookcase for my birthday. I was so excited about it, I immediately filled it with books I’d kept stashed in my parents’ basement. He looked aghast at the number of volumes and mumbled that he didn’t know I owned that many. It probably didn’t help when I showed him my mythology text containing the story of Sisyphus.

In recent years, I’ve DARCY managed to gain control BRIXEY over my book collection. I only buy books as gifts and I’m very, very picky about bindings and covers. For our 15th anniversary, I received two more beautiful handmade book cases, made from a South American hardwood, with glass doors. One case contains all my signed copies of books from the various author visits the library has hosted over the years.

The other case contains my English texts,

QUOTE OF NOTE

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have the right to do and what is the right thing to do.

– Potter Stewart, Supreme Court Justice

www.bellevuereporter.com

As that rarest of Puget Sound avians, a liberal leaning gun nut, I want to thank Jerry Cornfield for a well written article. It was re-published in the Bellevue Reporter.

He covered the monetary side very well. Almost all of the “gun safety” side money is coming from 10 zip codes in the state. The other side truly is small dollars.

One thing that is consistently missing in most news or commentary coverage of the “dueling gun initiatives” is that the devil is in the details.

I-591 is one page long: It requires adherence to a national background standard. It also requires due process for firearms confiscation in a Katrina type of emergency.

I-594 is 18 pages long, filled with legalese, and is confusing even to one who watched Washington Supreme Court oral arguments in preference to the Seahawks game.

Almost all media coverage misses or misstates two key areas: (1) It ignores the due process issue entirely. (2) I-594 does not deal with sales; it deals with transfers.

For decades I have been training family, friends, and co-workers with handguns and other firearms. Before I take the person shooting we go through extensive safety training, often at my home.

Under an extreme reading by a police force or a prosecutor, every time I had someone take the weapon from me and check its action, I would have committed a gross demeanor unless there were a background check. Conviction on such a charge would likely involve jail time.

I-594 is punitive toward responsible gun owners. Its backers conveniently ignores several factors: (1) Criminals don’t bother with legal sales. (2) Criminal use of a gun purchased at a gun show is almost non-existent. (3) Internet sales of firearms already are legally required to be done through a licensed gun dealer.

I ask: “did you find gold/oil on your property”?”Did you install a swimming pool/spa in the basement/ crawlspace of your house?”

My answers are: NO, NO, YES!

The event will be from 7:45-9:45 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 4.

Maternal and neonatal tetanus is found in 24 countries around the world and can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. It kills one baby every nine minutes. Its effects are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too.

Sound Transit, Metro working on plan to reduce costs County executive looking to streamline service, cut costs

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Major King County transportation players Metro Transit and Sound Transit face massive cumulative deficits projected into 2015 and rapidly increasing ridership.

County Executive Dow Constantine has instructed both agencies to work together to integrate and streamline service and planning.

King County Metro ridership spiked in 2008, dropping slightly in 2009, and has been trending upward every year since 2010. It now provides 400,000 passenger trips every weekday — more than 118 million trips last year. Sound Transit reports 100,000 daily riders through its light rail and bus services.

Constantine joined with Bellevue Mayor

Claudia Balducci at a news conference on Sept. 10 to announce how the county executive is using his roles as chairman of the Sound Transit board and head of Metro to improve public transportation in King County. Actions taken over the past three months have been provided through a recently released integration report.

Bus and rail integration is already happening in Bellevue with the estimated start of East Link light rail in 2023, but the report states further work will be necessary to ensure ridership is captured by connecting bus and light rail stations. This would align with strategies incorporated in Seattle's Northgate.

Metro is considering several options with the opening of Sound Transit'sUniversity Link – connecting Central Link to the University of Washington and Capitol Hill – to quickly transport riders from Seattle to Bellevue. One is a continuous transit connection between Northgate and Bellevue, and another extends Metro Route 271 beyond the University District to Northgate

using Maple Leaf. A third option would be a no-transfer trip between northeast Seattle and Bellevue.

Metro will also implement its lowincome $1.50 all-day fare to qualified applicants in March, and Sound Transit is expected to decide whether to follow suit with its own low-income fare later this year.

By mid-2016, Sound Transit anticipates providing cellular service in its downtown and University Link tunnels, which will also be provided in the Bellevue tunnel from the East Main Station to the Bellevue Transit Center Station at City Hall.

Metro is also partnering with Sound Transit and other partner agencies to release a smartphone app this fall that will allow riders to plan trips, access schedules and receive real-time regional information.

Ticket vending machines used for train tickets and ORCA cards are also going to be made simpler for people to use, launching a new interface in mid-2016, according to the report.

Sound Transit spokesman Geoff Patrick said there will be a number of significant costs to provide new customer satisfaction items under the strategy, but Metro and Sound Transit will save money doing these projects together.

"By doing it together, we're avoiding duplication and it will cost less to have those bells and whistles than if each agency tried to develop those things independently," he said.

The truth cost savings to be gained from the integration plan, he said, will be long term, by leveraging light rail extensions and restructuring Metro routes to reduce congestion and operating times.

The full report can be viewed at http:// www.kingcounty.gov/~/media/elected/ executive/Press%20Releases/PDFs/Transit_Integration_Report.ashx.

Two bus routes that serve Bellevue on chopping block Metro Transit bus routes changes proposed for February 2015 will affect two routes that serve Bellevue residents.

Planned for elimination is bus route 271 from the Eastgate Park-and-Ride east to Issaquah.

The route currently runs from Seattle's University District to Bellevue and on to Issaquah. Also on the chopping block is route

242, which goes from the Overlake Park-and-Ride lot at 152nd Avenue Northeast and Northeast 267th Street to the Montlake stop on SR 520 and then into Seattle.

The routes are two one of many throughout the Metro system planned to be eliminated or changed as the county works to cut 169,000 hours of Metro Transit service because of a short-

age of funds. In all, 16 bus routes countywide are proposed for elimination and 32 others to see reduced service.

If route 271 is cut, the county is suggesting riders use Sound Transit Routes 554, 555, or 556 instead.

The County Council already approved a first round of 151,000 hours of service reductions to

take effect Sept. 27. Taken together, the two rounds represent cuts to about 10 percent of Metro’s service, or 320,000 hours of the transit agency’s 3.5 million annual hours. Additional service reductions will be examined as part of King County’s upcoming biennial budget process.

If the February 2015 service change proposal is adopted by

the council, and if the Seattle transit initiative is approved by voters there in November, the February service cuts will be postponed until June 2015 to provide time for Seattle and any other party to submit proposals to preserve service. Seattle and others could also contract to restore services slated to be cut Sept. 27.

But maybe you are looking for trees? We have lots of trees for $5.97. Check out Ginkgo trees. These are a couple feet tall, with big strong roots. They are seedlings, just like Nature made them, with that unusual prehistoric leaf shape in the coolest blue green color I’ve ever seen. They are just a wonderful deal at only $5.97.

Let’s see, can I find you some more trees for $5.97?

You bet! We have Eastern Redbud, Paperbark Birch, Sweetgum trees, and even Japanese Red Maples. I wonder where else are you going to find a Japanese Red Maple for $5.97.

Oh, and Paperbark Birch. These little guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do fine in that soggy area, and they don’t care how much sun there is. These look great in clumps of 3, and they are very fast growing. If you are in a hurry, the Curly Willows add a couple of feet a year, too.

I love Irises – all those beautiful flowers! I grew lots this year, so I have six different kinds of Japanese and Siberian Iris for you right now. Irises are so great around here because they are okay with soil that doesn’t drain well. No problem. And I love that the Siberians start blooming in May, and some of the Japanese keep going well into July. The parade starts with royal blue Caesar’s Brother and pure white King of Kings Siberian Irises. The Japanese Irises bloom next, and those are Tropical Storm, Good Omen, and Variegated Japanese Iris – white stripes on the green leaves, and big royal purple flowers – wow! You can find all these on line for about 10 bucks each (plus shipping) but I’ve got them for $5.97. I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but it’s fall, and I don’t want to haul them back to the field for winter.

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll likely turn their noses up at these. And also on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself ? Not as easy as it looks. Ours have been growing in their pots for over a year, so they have big strong root systems and we know that they’ll work for you.

We’ve got some beautiful David’s Viburnum that looks super with Emerald Gaiety Wintercreeper. Pop some Lamb’s Ears nearby, and you’re good to go. They’re all $5.97, and they’re all happy pretty much anywhere.

Also for $5.97 we have Minor Black Weigelas and Neon Flash Spireas. These look great together, and grow quick but not too big. As a bonus, you’ll have hot pink flowers all summer long.

I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least twice as much for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

Let’s see, what else can we find for you for $5.97? How about Doublefile Viburnum, and Hostas, and Purple Smoke Bush, and even Oak Leaf Hydrangeas? I love those Oak Leafs, with the flowers that change from white to pink, and that cool peeling bark in winter.

And come pick up some Daylilies. We have three kinds – Stella D’Oro, Catherine Woodberry, and Bonanza.

These beauties bloomed all summer long. I think Stella is still flowering near my front door.

We’ve also got Mrs. Robb’s Bonnet and Variegated Autumn Joy Sedum and lots of other perennials – Cranesbill Geraniums, Bearberry Cotoneaster, Ice Dance Grass, and who knows what else is out there.

There’s lots, lots more, and whatever it is, it’s $5.97.

We also have some really nice Dawn Redwoods for just $14. They were tiny this spring, and now they’re a couple feet tall. They grow like crazy, and they’re just the thing to put between you and those neighbors that have been getting on your nerves all summer.

For a little more money, we have a lot more plants. We have some awesome Magnolias - three different kinds.

Judy Zuk is one beautiful girl. She’s the most brilliant golden Magnolia of all. She’ll be about 15 ft tall in 15 years. The biggest ones are at least 5 ft. tall, $99, and that’s a steal. Bring a truck. The Royal Star Magnolia trees are about 3 ft tall right now, nice and full with lots of branches. These are just covered with fragrant fluffy white flowers in spring, and a steal at $24. And we also have Jane and Betty and Butterflies Magnolias. These can be large shrubs or small trees, with big showy flowers for a long blooming season in spring. Actually, one is blooming in my driveway right now, but I think she’s an overachiever.

Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got three kinds of very special Dogwoods. We have Cherokee Brave, which is super red and only $39, and Radiant Rose, and Wolf Eye, which we like so much we put a great big one right in our front yard.

You get the idea. Come on over SATURDAY and SUNDAY September 20-21 and September 27-28 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Just those 2 weekends, and then we’re putting our feet up. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.) There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $5.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants. Okay? Good.

See you this weekend!

(If you want to see that we’re real, just Google us at The Daily Plant-It. We even have a Facebook page - be sure to check the reviews!)

Issaquah, Washington

September 19, 2014 [7]

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace was upset by both the idea and delivery of a proposal by the city's transportation department Monday night to cut a northbound lane on a segment of 116th Avenue Northeast to add bicycle lanes.

The proposal came up in a city manager's report during Monday's council meeting, and was prompted by the transportation department, which is finalizing road overlay contracts for 2015.

Transportation Director Dave Berg said the idea to remove a northbound lane on 116th, starting the transition about 600 feet north of the Northeast 12th Street traffic signal, to allow northbound and southbound bicycle lanes there came from the limited cost to modify the project and the call for such lanes in the future under Bellevue's adopted pedestrian and bicycle plan. Further study and funding would be needed to widen 116th to avoid losing a driving lane, which doesn't fit the timeline for this overlay project, he added. The northbound transition from two lanes to one is proposed to be completed at Northeast 15th.

Wallace said the proposal makes no sense when considering other projects in the Bel-Red corridor that are planned to increase capacity and what safety challenges could be created for nearby hospitals and firefighters using that stretch of road. He added putting the agenda item in the manager's report was also a

bad approach.

"I think it's completely out of bounds to be talking about sacrificing a road right of way, a road lane for a bike lane, right in the heart of where we're talking about and where we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to generate this new capacity," KEVIN Wallace said.

WALLACE Mayor Claudia Balducci pointed out the proposal brought by transportation will be vetted with the public, adjacent businesses and land owners before coming back to the council — all councilmembers agreed the transportation commission should also weigh in on the proposal.

"I'm just suggesting that perhaps ripping their heads off over it, now is not the time to do that," Balducci told Wallace.

Reviews of traffic volumes were studied ahead of the proposal, according to a manager's brief, which states 11,000 vehicles travel that stretch of 116th daily, split nearly evenly north and south. The 2013-24 transportation facilities plan also forecasts steady volumes there to remain steady into 2024.

Mark Poch, manager for the overlay project, said switching to one lane both ways should make it easier for people to exit their driveways along 116th, as well as allow for a potential crosswalk near Northeast 19th and 21st streets.

Bellevue, Pacific Science Center set programs for students Mentors and hands-on experience in field and lab for middle, high school students This fall, students in grades 6 through 12 will have an opportunity to delve into the fast growing career field of environmental science and green technology at the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center in Bellevue through two programs: The Environmental Science & Technology Practicum (grades 9-12) and Environmental Science Pathways (grades 6-8).

With the recent increase of $25 million in scholarship funds in Washington state for college students pursuing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields of study, high school and even middle school preparation are investments in a child’s future.

The practicum provides high school students with an opportunity to gain hands-on field and laboratory experience in our stateof-the-art wet lab while exploring career possibilities first-hand from professionals in the field. The nine-week program revolves around aquatic and terrestrial investigations in the biologically diverse wetlands of Bellevue and includes time in the field as well as in the lab.

Each session also provides direct exposure to professionals who specialize in clean tech-

nology and environmental science. They share their work as well as mentor students and discuss next steps on specific career paths in their respective fields. Students receive a certificate of completion at the end of their nine-week session to include in their academic portfolio and to enhance college applications.

For middle school students, Environmental Science Pathways allows for introductory exploration into the world of environmental science and clean technology. For eight weeks, students will discover the science behind renewable energy, watersheds and our natural environment. They will conduct field experiments in the biologically diverse wetlands of Bellevue and explore the chemistry of freshwater and marine systems in state-of-theart wet lab. Participants also will learn about many of the fascinating and diverse career paths that are available in environmental science and clean technology.

“Practicum and Pathways are both examples of programs that directly address the need for science literate students to pursue academic degrees and careers in STEM-related fields,” said Ann McMahon, vice president of science and education for Pacific Science Center. “Each program focuses on handson investigations that reinforce a sense of stewardship in our community while learning about the biologically diverse wetlands in our backyard.”

Both sessions take place in Mercer Slough’s state-of-the-art wet lab facility and throughout the 320-acre nature park.

Practicum sessions are held on Saturday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting on Oct. 11 and will run through Dec. 13 (with holiday weekends excluded). The session fee is $390. Learn more at http://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/Mercer-Slough/environmental-science-and-technology-practicum Pathways sessions are held after school on Thursday afternoons from 3:30-6 p.m. starting on Oct. 2 and will run through Nov. 20 (with

holiday weekends excluded). The session fee is $275. Transportation assistance is available for Bellevue students.http://pacificsciencecenter. org/Mercer-Slough/environmental-sciencepathways.

To register for both, call 206-443-2925.

Built on a 320-acre wetland, Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center is a collaboration of Pacific Science Center and the city of Bellevue. For general information on Mercer Slough’s programs and the facility, visit: http:// www.pacificsciencecenter.org/Mercer-Slough/ slough.

Donald Driver to headline Hopelink benefit luncheon Green Bay Packers all-time leading receiver, “Dancing with the Stars” champion and New York Times best-selling author Donald Driver will deliver the keynote address at Hopelink’s 19th annual Reaching Out Benefit Luncheon on Monday, Oct. 20 at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center.

The luncheon is the social services agency’s largest fundraising event of the year. Last year’s luncheon raised more than $1 million to provide food, shelter, family development, transportation and job readiness skills for homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities in north and east King County.

During the luncheon, Driver will share his story, “from homeless to hero,” about his journey from poverty and homelessness to success and acclaim.

“I've been homeless. I know what that's like – how it affects your entire life, and how hard it can be to get back on your feet,” Driver said.

“Hopelink is there for families who are experiencing dif-

ficult times – just like the times I went through with my family, who just need a little help to DONALD get by and DRIVER to get back on track.

They are truly making a difference in people’s lives."

Driver is a 2011 Super Bowl champion and the Packers franchise record holder for most receptions and receiving yards. He retired from the NFL as a football hero in 2012. That same year, Driver took home the coveted mirror ball trophy from the ABC series “Dancing with the Stars.”

A bestselling author who has written numerous books for children, it was Driver’s childhood struggle with homelessness that fueled his work as a humanitarian. The future Pro Bowler grew up in Houston’s dangerous Fifth Ward neighborhood, where his family – led by a single mother of five – continually struggled to

make ends meet. As he entered his teens, Driver’s family life began to crumble, eventually deteriorating to the point where they were forced to live in a U-Haul truck underneath an overpass. He and his family would spend nearly a month living out of the truck; an experience Driver says forever changed his life.

In 2001, Driver and his wife, Betina, founded the Donald Driver Foundation where he is able to share his story while championing support for people in need of shelter, education and career development.

Driver’s memoir, “Driven,” was an immediate success, landing on the New York Times bestsellers list just days after its release.

The Hopelink luncheon will take place from noon to 1:15 p.m. at Meydenbauer Center, 11100 N.E. Sixth St. There is no charge to attend the luncheon, but during the program guests will be asked to make a donation in support of Hopelink’s services.

City clears AC Marriott design

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The city has approved the design for a seven-story AC Marriott Hotel on Northeast Second Street to offer upscale lodging in downtown Bellevue.

Sited at 202 106th Place N.E., the 234-room hotel is part of a joint partnership and concept created

by AC Hotels and Marriott in 2011. AC Hotels owns about 80 properties in Spain, Italy, France and Portugal.

The proposed 110,000-square-foot facility includes onsite valet parking in a 106-stall underground garage.

Previous plans submitted to the city and printed by the Reporter in May indicated plans to begin construction this month and complete the hotel next October. That will first require the razing of the 8,500-square-foot Bamboo Gardens on the property and obtaining construction permits.

Marriott International describes its AC Hotels as including public space with a linear design that features curated museum-quality artifacts, a lounge with cocktails, small plate offerings and guest rooms with a “sleek European-inspired design with sophisticated furnishings and dramatic retail-inspired lighting.”

Designs include private frontage along Northeast Second Street, adjacent to the bar and lounge for year-round weather protection for outside patio seating.

The building is designed in a “U” shape “for a

Council clears comp plan amendment

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Real estate investor Paul Etsekson is glad the Bellevue City Council has fixed an issue of split zoning on his Mountvue Place property to match Bel-Red redevelopment goals, which adds value to his site when the time comes.

“Really what we’re doing is sort of lining up our ducks. We’re kind of, I think, correcting something that shouldn’t have happened anyway,” Etsekson said.

After nearly two months on the market, Kidder Mathews has confirmed the Red Lion Hotel Bellevue is in contract to be sold.

The two-story Main Street hotel, built in 1969, offers 181 rooms and 5,700 square feet of meeting space. Kidder Mathews broker Jason Rosauer said he can’t confirm the buyer at this time, but the sale is expected to close quickly.

“We selected a party that is pursuing the acquisition and it will be a very short timeline; a very credible buyers with a very credible capital source,” Rosauer said. “I do know that it’s going to be a hotel for the foreseeable future.”

The 4.67-acre shopping center had been split by two zones — BelRed-Commercial-Residential and BelRedGeneral Commercial —

The company started in Marti’s and other Point Inside co-founders’ homes, with all founders coming from a background in location-based services.

It has since made several moves, settling headquarters in a 12,600-foot office space at 500 108th Ave. N.E., in August. The company anticipates adding another 6,000 square feet by January.

Point Inside is now exclusively focused on retailers, but started out mapping stadiums, hospitals, airports and theme park, in addition to stores.

“We knew at some point in time you would eventually begin to track people indoors,” Marti said. “Bellevue Square was actually our first mall that we mapped that went into the application.”

While online shopping remains a growing consumer market, Marti said of the nation’s top 100 retailers, 95 percent still provide an in-store shopping experience.

“Far and away, that far eclipses any online version of sales,” he said.

Marti credits StoreMode’s subscription service for retailers, Point Inside’s knowledge of large data creation and steady business model for the company’s success, adding PI is now looking for partners that may benefit from its expertise.

Point Inside reports its more than 150 percent year-over-year revenue growth was accomplished without the support of venture capital funding. It has created more than 10,000 indoor venue maps and 5,000 store-specific search engines.

“We have taken on investment, but it’s been through private local and some in California,” Marti said.

Over the next 18 months, Marti said Point Inside will focus on new products, as well as new capabilities for StoreMode. Several pilot partnerships are advancing to production, which will require hiring on additional software developers, he added.

Marti said soon StoreMode users will be able to find themselves or a retail associate inside a store through Bluetooth wireless technology inside the stores themselves.

located at 14510 N.E. 20th St., behind Fred Meyer, and anchored by Harbor Freight Tools. Etsekson said his shopping center is full and he respects his tenants’ leases, but the split zoning designation put him at a disadvantage for when redevelopment occurs there.

Mountvue Place is located about a mile northeast of Wright Runstad’s Spring District, a $1.2 billion redevelopment project that will add high-density office, retail and residential space in Bel-Red. “There’s going to be a lot of pressure on this market, and we’re just excited to be here and kind of enjoy the successes of Bellevue,” Etsekson said.

In another move regarding the city’s comprehensive plan, the Bellevue Technology Center rescinded its request for a comprehensive plan amendment. The center is located at 156th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 24th Street.

Throckmorton throttles foes University of Oregon football commit is enjoying his senior season at Newport

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Newport Knights senior offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton thrives on the football field and in the classroom.

Throckmorton, who committed to the University of Oregon football program on June 21, earned scholar athlete honors as a junior.

Newport head coach Drew Oliver loves to see his team run the ball between the tackles, which fits quite nicely with Throckmorton's road grader style.

The Knights have started the 2014 season with a 1-1 overall record.

"Calvin is a physically imposing guy and he doesn't make many mistakes. He's a rock solid leader and has been playing at a high level for such a long time," Oliver said. "Calvin is a quiet,

humble and unassuming kid off the field. I always hear great things about him from his teachers. When he gets on the field he is a fierce competitor and has the competitive fire, which is exactly what you want in a football player. He's a great combination of brains and brawn."

Throckmorton has the look of a PAC-12 offensive lineman. He is 6 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 280 pounds and just simply passes the eyeball test, but before he makes the move to Eugene in the summer of 2015, he wants to do everything he can to make sure the Knights football program succeeds in 2014.

"I can't wait to go out there and play football with the same guys I have been playing with for the past five or six years. I want to finish off this year

Calvin Throckmorton strong," Throckmorton said.

"Obviously there still is the pressure of performing my senior year and everything like that, and its something I still have to go out and do. I want to do as well as I can for my team. It's just a really cool honor and nice to have the younger guys on the team look up to you.

It's a lot of responsibility but at the same time but I enjoy it."

Throckmorton is playing

left tackle for the Knights this season.

"I love playing that position and I definitely embrace it. Hopefully I will be able to play left tackle in college too," he said.

Throckmorton said he will probably add weight to his frame once he reaches college.

"They (Oregon) want me to keep doing what I'm already doing (workout wise).

Obviously our strength coaches here at Newport are doing a great job. We're doing a lot of stuff similar to what they're doing at Oregon," he said. "They (Oregon) just want me to maintain and not get too heavy because they want to be able to put that weight on me once I'm there."

Football isn't the only thing on Throckmorton's mind.

"I want to major in premed human physiology.

After I graduate from college I definitely want to go to medical school," he said.

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Not even a lopsided defeat to the Skyline Spartans in the second week of the high school football season could put a damper on the spirits of Newport firstyear head coach Drew Oliver.

Skyline (2-0 overall) built a 42-0 lead and cruised to a 49-0 victory against the Newport Knights (1-1 overall) on Sept.

12 in Sammamish. The Knights couldn't recover from four lost fumbles and two interceptions in the first half. Newport's high octane rushing attack was stymied

by Skyline's swarming defense. Despite the first half woes, Newport came out fighting in the second half and surrendered just one touchdown in the final 24 minutes of play.

"There is a whole lot of season left for us. The challenge at halftime was figuring out about ourselves as competitors.

These guys answered the bell," Oliver said.

Oliver was glad to see his team not fold despite getting blown out by a substantial margin.

"A game like this can have one of two effects on a team. Obviously it can rip a team apart and destroy them going forward or it can really bring a team together," Oliver said. "I think it will bring

us together. I was proud of our guys for coming out and competing."

Skyline's offense was clicking on all cylinders. Spartans' junior running back Rashaad Boddie had four rushing touchdowns and quarterback Blake Gregory connected with wide receivers Derek Loville on a 14-yard touchdown reception and Danny Sinatro on a 17-yard touchdown catch. Gregory scored on a 1-yard touchdown as well to round out the scoring parade. Skyline head coach Mat Taylor was ecstatic following his team's dominating showing against Newport.

"It was incredible. Our kids totally bought in to the discipline that we preached all week. Newport is a great football team and I couldn't be more proud of the way the kids played football," Taylor said. "It was pretty impressive. It was awesome."

Newport will host the formidable Bothell Cougars in a KingCo 4A matchup at 7 p.m. on Sept. 19.

"This is the KingCo 4A. It doesn't get any easier," Oliver said. "We go from the No. 1 or No. 2 ranked team (Skyline) in the state to the No. 1 or No. 2 ranked team (Bothell) in the state or vice versa.

It is going to be a tough game."

New plan to improve services for Bellevue's diversifying residents

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Shifting demographics in Bellevue have challenged the city for years to better serve its diverse population, but a new City Council-driven initiative lays out a long-term plan for ensuring residents here no longer find themselves lost in translation.

It's been more than 10 years since the city adopted its first diversity plan, and in that time Bellevue's minority population has tripled, as high as 41 percent in 2010. From 1990 to 2010, the foreign-born population comprised 81 percent of Bellevue's growth.

While the foreign-born population continues to grow, the city has long struggled to meet growing demand to integrate services and culture into government operations.

"The gap that we noticed was more of an internal organizational development," said Camron Parker, senior planner for Parks and Community Development.

The Diversity Plan goes beyond translating government documents into more languages and providing interpreters at meetings. It also sets the stage for diversifying its municipal workforce and improving the cultural competency of its cur-

rent employees.

City employees are employed an average of 16 years, which has meant staff over the past decade has been predominantly white males, receiving minimal and infrequent cultural training, according to the city's draft Diversity Plan. In a staff survey, more than two-thirds believed they lacked resources and training to best serve the city's diverse populations.

Under the plan, cultural competency will be part of city employees' core curriculum, and diversity hiring will also increase.

"Are we communicating well? Probably not as well as we used to," said Mayor Claudia Balducci, adding City Council at a recent retreat identified in a mission statement, "Bellevue welcomes the world; Our diversity is our strength."

A critical first step to laying out the welcome mat will be hiring a cultural competence and equity staff member to oversee staff training and conduct performance measures, Balducci said.

The plan calls for all staff to receive such training over a five-year period. The mayor said how quickly the plan is put into action will come down to how much can be budgeted each year. The plan is slated for adoption in November.

The Diversity Plan also calls for identifying new locations

by officers” and complaints against officers by the public.

The legislation includes the creation of a task force comprised of attorneys, officers, and members of the American Civil Liberties Union to lay out how to address privacy and public disclosure issues as well as guidelines for the camera's use.

“There's a lot of room to improve the trust and transparency of our law enforcement agencies. This wasn't motivated by one specific incident locally, but there's anecdotal incidents, especially in communities of color,” Upthegrove told the Bellevue Reporter. “I've heard from constituents of not always being treated respectively.”

Video and audio footage from an incident provides a far better and more detailed account of what happened than just eye witness testimony, he said.

“Cameras not only protect the officers but ensure we have an accurate record of what takes place,” Upthegrove said. “But I don't want a bunch of walking surveillance cameras.”

Last week, more than 200 King County residents attended a public forum in SeaTac held by Upthegrove to talk about interactions with police and what can be done to improve the relationships between officers and the public.

With strong emotional support and criticism expressed at the meeting, the councilman said the issue won't be solved overnight, nor will cameras be a fix-all.

King County Sheriff John Urquhart expressed his full support for the proposed legislation.

“The body camera would help eliminate the doubt and make it much easier to come to a conclusion on what actually happened,” he said.

In the aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in Ferguson, MO., last month, legislators and police departments across the country are trying to find solutions on how to prevent any future incidents.

While numerous questions remain about what exactly took place in Ferguson, King County Councilman David Upthegrove said an answer may be found by equipping law enforcement officials with body cameras.

Earlier this week Upthegrove introduced legislation to create a pilot project attaching video cameras to police uniforms in an effort to reduce instances of “inappropriate use of force

for satellite city halls, much like the highly used Crossroads branch, which already provides information and services in eight languages. Kevin Henry, communications coordinator for the city's diversity program, said he'd like to see a miniCity Hall in Factoria.

Diversity is not just defined by race or ethnicity under the plan, which also calls for addressing the city's growing homeless population, which has limited access to Eastside shelters.

The plan includes creating a permanent shelter in Bellevue, not just in the winter.

"The understanding is that the homeless population will be in Bellevue," Parker said. "If we don't do anything, it doesn't necessarily mean that homeless won't come to Bellevue."

Balducci said the Diversity Plan not only will lay out how the city can improve communication and services with its diverse populations, but also will engage those populations in future planning to reflect the community seen today.

A look at Bellevue’s past

Calvert House

The Calvert House was built around 1909 by architect David Meyers, and stood at 415 S.E. Shoreland Drive in Bellevue. This was the first house built in this area of Bellevue.

The home was owned

by William Calvert Sr. and he and his family used it as a summer home.

Around this time, the shores on the eastside of Lake Washington were filled with summer beach homes that belonged to wealthy Seattle families.

William Calvert was the founder of the Pacific National Bank and established the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company. He owned a long stretch of the Lake Washington waterfront, from Enatai to Meydenbauer Bay. William’s son, Frank Calvert, was one of the founders of the Beaux Arts colony.

In 1916, when Lake

Washington was lowered, the home moved 100 feet downhill. The home was used mainly as a summer home by the Calvert family until the 1960s. Above the homes fireplace, were the words “Here awa there awa haud awa hame” carved in wood. Loosely translated from Scottish, “Here awhile, there awhile, there’s no place like home.”

The Calvert House was torn down and in 2001 a new home was constructed on the site.

Two familiar faces from KING 5 will share the stage during the Third Annual Eastside Friends of Seniors fundraiser at The Golf Club at Newcastle beginning at noon on Friday, Sept. 26.

Meteorologist Jeff Renner will return to the podium again this year to serve as master of ceremonies. He will be joined by Margaret Larson, host of New Day Northwest, at the event to raise funds and awareness for Eastside Friends of Seniors.

The nonprofit organization began serving seniors in Issaquah and the Sammamish Plateau in 1997 as Faith in Action. The group changed its name in 2011 to reflect its expanded mission of free services to seniors in Bellevue and the Snoqualmie Valley.

Volunteers from Eastside Friends of Seniors provide rides to medical appointments and help with shopping and routine chores that might otherwise force seniors to give up their independence. There are no financial requirements to receive the free assistance, but more than 92 percent of the organization's clients are classified as low income. The services of Eastside Friends are available to anybody

Without any living relatives, no one could grant Nelson permission to exhume Stance’s body, let alone transport it from Nebraska to Virginia. He contacted lawmakers and officials as high as former Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

In order to help Nelson realize his “magnificent mission,” Smith offered an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would grant authority to remove the remains of deceased members of the Armed Forces with no known next of kin.

“I’m doing it because it’s the right thing to do, and until this amendment gets passed, we don’t have authorization to move these fellas,” Nelson said.

The OBMA has been working with the city to address the lack of parking in Old Bellevue, Salamone said, and the City Council should receive a request for a comprehensive parking study in October, as part of a number of recommendations provided by a Downtown Livability citizens advisory committee.

“Downtown has changed so dramatically since we did the last comprehensive parking study, I don’t think we had a reasonable basis to predict this use,” Salamone said.

Maggie Holcomb, a third grader at St. Louise School in Bellevue, shows some of the items she received from vendors at the recent Lake Hills Neighborhood Fair. The fair, which was held at the Church of the Resurrection in Bellevue, attracted more than 50 vendors, up from 17 three years ago at the fair’s inception. In addition to vendors, the fair provided a bouncy house, balloon magician, visits from the Bellevue Fire Department and the Bellevue Police Department, as well as many other activities for kids. town Park provides the last opportunity to place underground parking there, which would prevent parking from spilling into Old Bellevue and surrounding neighborhoods.

He said he is gathering support for underground parking at Downtown Park from the Bellevue Downtown Association, Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Bellevue. He also met with members of the OBMA parking committee Thursday.

Vander Hoek’s grandfather, Paul Vander Hoek, nicknamed “The Mayor of Main Street” for his political activism on issues affecting his family’s Bellevue properties, founded both the chamber and BDA

— when it was the Bellevue Downtown Development Board. He had also originally opposed Downtown Park, changing his mind when he saw it.

Carl Vander Hoek told the council Monday it must be a surprise his father and company president, Stu Vander Hoek, wasn’t before them Monday night.

“That’s how bad it’s got,” he said. “It actually spans generations now.”

The Vander Hoek Corporation also recently sold controlling interest in its Main Street Gateway mixed-used project to the apartment developer, the Wolff Co. The project includes 370 residential units, 19,000 general square feet of retail space, 5,000 square

expect to see some real benefits to the busses and carpools.”

A joint venture between Granite and PCL Construction Services, the $336 million project also reconnected communities to the major highway that were cut off during its original construction in the 1960s, he said. Construction of a new roundabout at the 92nd Avenue Northeast interchange, an area that primarily serves Medina Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point and Hunts Point, now provides direct access to SR 520.

Crews also built stormwater treatment and detention improvements for fish passages, the first time in nearly 50 years.

Eight culverts that used to run under SR 520 and adjacent streets prevented fish migration to and from Lake Washington, Richardson said. Each has been replaced and now features passable structures for fish, feet of restaurant space and 625 parking spaces. It is replacing several businesses in Old Bellevue, at the corner of Main Street and Bellevue Way. The Gateway is just one of four major redevelopment projects occurring on Main Street.

Westbound With the completion of the SR 520 Eastside Transit and HOV Project, crews and employees are now shifting their focus to the next step of the overhaul.

Expected to be completed in spring 2016, a new sixlane floating bridge will carry commuters across the water and meet up with the West Connection Bridge, which also finished construction this week. The structure will connect the existing four lanes in Seattle with the new floating bridge when it opens, according to WSDOT. The following year, the

West Approach Bridge North is slated to open, carrying three westbound lanes of traffic from the new floating bridge to Montlake. Once complete, the existing lanes in Seattle will be restriped in order to guide three eastbound lanes of traffic from Montlake along the West Connection Bridge meeting up with the new floating bridge.

Construction of the West Approach Bridge North Project is set to break ground later this month in Seattle.

The bridge will also include a westbound HOV lane and an extension of the SR 520 regional, cross-lake bicyclepedestrian path, Richardson said.

...obituaries Charles Mosher Curll “Stan” Staniforth

Charles Mosher Curll “Stan” Staniforth, 85, February 2, 1929 to September 6, 2014; born in Arundel, Quebec, CANADA; died in Issaquah, WA. Stan attended high school in Lachute, QC, studied forestry at the Univ. of New Brunswick, and completed a rigorous marketing program at Wayne State Univ., Detroit. He was employed by British Overseas Airways Corp. as a flight dispatcher in Montreal, was responsible for calculating flight paths, calculating wind, storms, fuel, weight, balance, and safety.

He married British stewardess Joan Remfry, and they migrated to the U.S. where Stan was with Alitalia Airline as Sales Manager for the Bay Area, then later moved to Seattle where he opened the Mercer Island Travel Agency and built a home on the Island. He was divorced in the 1980s.

Stan became a hiking/scrambling leader with Seattle Mountaineers and Sierra Club helping many folks to reach goals and attain self-confidence. He was an avid downhill skier and had been on ski patrol in QC. He worked for the Am. Red Cross, creating and marketing multiple specialized CPR courses and was called a “marketing guru”. He was involved with “damage assessment” supervising the determination of property losses for 49 national disasters (floods, tornados, hurricanes, fires, plane crashes) and served at the DOC (Disaster Operation Center) in Wash. D.C., where disasters are first reported.

In retirement, Stan volunteered at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery as docent, spawner, etc. He was also involved with his church, SKAL (travel industry professionals), Rotary, WA State census transcription, his genealogy, coin/stamp collections, and built a model train layout. He was a gifted writer, poet, editor, had a keen appreciation for history and geology, possessed a quick wit and humor, and loved being with his granddaughters.

He is survived by daughter, Kristy Staniforth McCann (Dean), of Graham WA, and a sister, Barbara Morrison (Rathwell), of Arundel, QC. He also leaves behind his partner of 28 years, Beverly Vernon, with children Gwendolyn (Bob), Pamela (Loren), Keith (Erin), and granddaughters Sydney and Sophie.

A memorial celebration will be held Thurs., Sept. 25, 2 pm, St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, Bellevue, WA, reception to follow.

Appropriate donations in Stan’s memory include the Mennonite Disaster Service, St. Margaret’s Church, or a favorite charity. A bronze plaque will be placed near a “Memorial Tree” he planted at the Hatchery. His ashes will be laid to rest in the Staniforth cemetery in QC and also at Ingalls Lake/Mtn. in the Cascades.

According to Barron’s,“The formula [used] to rank advisors has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of the advisor’s practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by each client’s risk tolerance. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record.” The rankings are based on the universe of applications submitted to Barron’s. The selection process begins with a nomination and application provided to Barron’s. Principals of Edelman Financial Services LLC self-nominated the firm and submitted quantitative and qualitative information to Barron’s as requested. Barron’s reviewed and considered this information which resulted in the rankings on Aug. 27, 2012/Aug. 28, 2010/Aug. 31, 2009. Ric Edelman is Chairman and CEO of Edelman Financial Services LLC, a Registered Investment Adviser, and CEO, President and a Director of Pinnacle Summer Investments, Inc. He is an Investment Adviser Representative who offers advisory services through EFS and a Registered Principal of (and offers securities through) Sanders Morris Harris Inc., an affiliated broker/dealer, member FINRA/SIPC. 2 The Washington Post, Washington Bestsellers Paperback Nonfiction General.
