Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden, takes inventory of the guns, drugs, and ammunition allegedly destined for Eastside customers. They were seized Sept. 18, during a raid of two King County homes as part of a joint police effort.
Bellevue police seize 'largest volume of guns, drugs' in recent memory
BY BRYAN TRUDE AND JOSH STILTS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
Bellevue police say a "significant" amount of heroin and guns is off the streets and out of the hands of felons after members of the department raided two homes in King County on Thursday. When police arrived at the two locations they found guns, five pounds of drugs, mostly heroin and a small amount of cocaine, vehicles, thousands of rounds of ammunition worth more than $400,000 along with roughly $9,000 in cash. "This is largest volume of guns and drugs we've recovered," one of the task force members told the Bellevue Reporter. Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden said the significance of seizing so many weapons and the approximately five pounds of heroin is "incredible" and commended the joint efforts of the Bellevue Police Department, Bellevue SWAT and Special Enforcement Team, along with detectives from the Eastside Narcotics Task Force (ENTF).
David Lindamood, 39, of Seattle, was arrested without shots being fired, at a residence in the 600 block of North 45th Street in the Fremont neighborhood. "We certainly had the element of surprise," Harnden said. Lindamood allegedly had enough weaponry to arm a small militia. In total, police recovered 24 firearms including 13 handguns, three shotguns, five high-powered hunting rifles, and three assault rifles. Dozens of ammunition magazines and "several thousand rounds of ammunition" were also taken from the two properties. Described as a "medium-sized" dealer providing product to low-level distributors on the Eastside, Lindamood was formally charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Additional charges are expected to follow as the investigation continues Harnden said. The seizures were the result of a fourmonth investigation led by the ENTF, which began after a patrol officer with the Bellevue Police Department started talking
to a confidential informant at the site of a recent heroin overdose. The CI's information led police to start investigating Lindamood as a potential supplier for dealers in the area. "Heroin continues to be the biggest problem on the Eastside," Harnden said. "It's a regular thing to go out with the fire department on a heroin overdose." She said the seizure of the drugs and guns will help curb at least some of the SEE GUNS, 16
Bellevue College will spend up to $200,000 in design improvements to keep King County Metro's Route 271 running through its campus. Route 271 is among a number of bus routes Metro will revise to cut transit hours due to a long-standing revenue shortfall, but Bellevue College is now taking steps to stay on its path through the city. "Metro proposed some infrastructure changes, mainly, and what we did was we took those proposed infrastructure changes and took them to our capital projects team," said Patrick Green, sustainability coordinator at Bellevue College. The college community was joined by the city in opposing the reroute earlier this year, which would have skirted the campus with a stop on 148th Avenue Southeast. Students told Metro high traffic, distance and poor pedestrian access made it an unsafe alternative. Green said Route 271 is still planned to stop traveling to Issaquah, but credits King County Councilmember Jane Hague for getting Metro to the bargaining table with the college on how to keep it running down Kelsey Creek Road. "She and her team were pretty important on representing the issue to council and to Metro, and were pretty critical to bringing people together to handle this issue," he said. Metro proposed traffic calming and pedestrian channeling improvements along the road, which is heavily used by motorists, Green said. The college has agreed to spend up to $200,000 for design improvements and is now reviewing project quotes and design alternatives. Those designs will be shared with Metro as the collaboration continues, Green said. "The college kind of had to find it to make it happen," he said of the funding. SEE COLLEGE, 15

Coal Creek Parkway bridge nears completion BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A new bridge under construction on Coal Creek Parkway is slated for completion in mid-October, opening up a major arterial above and clearing the way for migrating salmon below. The bridge replaces an aging culvert under Coal Creek Parkway, between Forest Drive Southeast and Southeast 60th Street, that had become an obstacle to salmon migration. Construction began last May to replace the culvert, and the bridge offers the added
benefit of a pedestrian underpass connecting the Coal Creek Trail on both sides of the road. “It’s taken two seasons to construct. Mostly because of the complicated infrastructure in the road, and especially because of the Olympic pipelines,” said Bruce Jensen, design phase project manager. That required constructing the bridge in west and east segments and relocating pipelines and fiber optic cables. “All that infrastructure was moved to the first half of the bridge that was constructed during the winter.”

During this time, Coal Creek has been routed through a large pipe while crews construct a new stream bed running under the bridge. Once complete, Jensen said the bypass pipe will be removed. The pedestrian underpass will connect the east and west portions of the Coal Creek Trail, no longer requiring hikers and bikers to cross over at Forest Drive and be rerouted back to the west side of the trail. “It just wasn’t safe,” said Dan DeWald, who manages the parks department’s natural resources division.

The Coal Creek Parkway bridge project is set for completion in mid-October. “We looked at options of a crosswalk. Nothing was really practical.”
The underpass will be elevated and railed, with Coal Creek running adjacent.
DeWald said it will also serve as a connection for wildlife. He said the trail system has been improved over the past six years, adding nine bridges and two stairways. Connecting the trail had been considered several years ago, but was put on hold when problems were found with the culvert. The parks portion of the project is being paid for with 2008 parks levy funds, and includes a new parking lot. “Once we get the underpass complete, we will revisit the parking lot design,” DeWald said.
wINTER Getaways
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans do not only work longer and take less time off than Europeans, and as of late, even the Japanese, they also seem unable to reap the benefits of their holidays as much in terms of recreation and rejuvenation. Studies show that the effects of taking breaks from work can vary dramatically based on how workers choose to unwind. “Relaxation and vacation aren’t merely the opposite of work. They are engaging, vital parts of your life that deserve happy thought and careful attention,” says Jan Bruce, CEO and founder of meQuilibrium who writes about issues of stress in the workplace. “If you think of vacation as a big blank, that’s what you’ll get.”
It is of great importance to incorporate relaxation into daily life, not only during holidays but as an integral part of one’s lifestyle, she says. After all, how your vacation unfolds is heavily influenced by your mindset. If adventure or playing sports recharges your batteries best, go for it – if lounging by the pool does the trick, by all means lounge on. The point is to get in the right spirit or mental shape that makes a vacation satisfying and successful, she advises.

Outerwall commits to e-waste reduction at Clinton Global Initiative conference BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Outerwall CEO Scott di Valerio committed his company to diverting at least two million pounds of electronic waste from landfills through expansion of its ecoATM kiosks Tuesday at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York. A relatively new player in the Bellevue company’s line of kiosk-based services, ecoATMs are available in 1,100 locations in 44 states across the United States, but Valerio said Outerwall plans 6,000-10,000 machines to roll out in the U.S. over the next several years — the international market will be next. “It was an unbelievable assembly,� Valerio said of the CGI meeting. “You’ve got a combination of business leaders, world leaders and people who are really just changing the the world.� With its new commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative, Outerwall will also be held accountable for reaching its goal, and the coalition will track the company’s progress over the next three years.

Outerwall CEO Scott di Valerio at this year’s Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York.
“We would hope that we can exceed our commitment,� Valerio said. Up to 25 percent of old-generation smartphones and tablets are recycled annually, which Valerio said is mark-
edly low considering the high number of electronics purchased every year. He predicts there will soon be a spike in ecoATM use as more people buy up Apple’s new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models. Apple reported more than 10 million of the new iPhones had been purchased since its Sept. 19 launch. ecoATMs have not yet turned a profit, and Valerio said Outerwall anticipates breaking even by the first half of 2015. While Outerwall’s commitment to reducing e-waste is also a commitment to profiting on its own business venture, Valerio said finding revenue through sustainability practices is a model many businesses are wanting to capitalize on. Outerwall keeps loose change in circulation with its Coinstar machines and recycles or redistributes old DVDs from its Redbox kiosks. “It’s nice to be able to step up and really be able to make an impact on the environment,� Valerio said. The company has also committed 1 percent of its previous year’s after-tax profits to charity since 2012, issuing $250,000 in general operating grants in the Seattle and Chicago this spring.
International law firm gets WTC Tacoma honors BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue-based firm Desh International Law was honored last week with the World Trade Center Tacoma’s Globe Award for Service Provider of the Year, and former diplomat and managing partner Pradnya Desh says her workload continues to grow. The World Trade Centers Association is the largest business network in the world, and its Tacoma branch is the only one offering full WTC service in the Pacific Northwest. Desh, a former diplomat with the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office, said she wanted to use her expertise in international business law “to change the world,� her law firm focusing on “purpose-driven� companies as clientele. One client is improving the process of converting landfill waste into energy, she said. DIL’s attorneys have either lived or practiced law in other countries, and all speak at least one other language – several speak three. The firm has on-the-ground capabilities in China, India and Brazil, and Desh said a lot of what her team does is ensure companies are aware of tariffs, regulations and business practices in other countries. “What we hear the most from people in China is, ‘Just send us projects. Send us projects and we know what to do with them,’ � she said. “They know they want to diversify in SEE LAW FIRM, 8

Marijuana millions getting close look
T
he financial stakes of the state’s new marijuana industry are no longer theoretical. Those millions are already trickling in, and next month the state will make the first payouts from a portion of excise taxes and fees collected from growers, processors and retailers. That portion — $4 million as of Monday and $450 million in the economist’s forecast — are sequestered in a special account. The initiative specifies how money in that account is to be doled out. Ten percent is for a public education campaign, and 15 percent is for substance abuse prevention programs, for example. But there’s a problem: The initiative directs half the money to the Basic Health Plan, a state health insurance program that no longer exists. It went away with the arrival of the federal health care law. JERRY If it turns out that the money is up for CORNFIELD grabs, lawmakers will be able to amend the state law to make clear who should get it. Cities and counties have a lot of suggestions.. Lawmakers went down to the wire of the 2014 session debating a revenue-sharing plan and came up empty. Some legislators simply didn’t want to see money going to cities or counties which have enacted bans on the industry. Communities, they argued, needed “skin in the game” — meaning they allow growing, processing and retailing — to be entitled to a cut of the proceeds. Counties and cities will try again in 2015, with possibly different pitches. At times, the conversation might feel like a repeat of the 2014 session, but it won’t be the same. That’s changed. There’s money in the bank. There’s a clearer idea of the stakes, and they are real. Very real.

LETTERS PSE not willing partner in search for energy solution
I was encouraged and pleasantly surprised to see Frank Shiers’ cartoon satirizing PSE’s perception of inevitability regarding their Energize Eastside project (“You can’t stop this” in the Sept. 17 issue). For me, the cartoon touched on three interesting questions: 1. Who is overseeing PSE? During the past few months, we’ve learned that neither the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission nor the Attorney General has the power to stop this project, or even compel PSE to provide honest answers to basic questions. 2. Is PSE listening to us? Communication appears to flow in only one direction. Although PSE has conducted an impressive campaign to engage the public during the past year, PSE isn’t hearing what residents are saying. The company is quick to dismiss every reasonable alternative we propose. 3. Is PSE a competent company? The “oops” moment in the cartoon reminds us of various errors and
gaps exhibited by PSE during this process. Recently, a PSE representative admitted that shortcomings in PSE’s data reporting and management systems make it difficult for them to define the geographic area they are calling the Eastside, or how many of their customers live there. In a high-tech and data-rich area, it is discouraging to hear that our energy provider is so far behind the times. As we search for a 21st-century solution to our energy needs, it’s clear that PSE is not going to be a willing partner. We should find and invest in companies and technologies that will address our needs while protecting our neighborhoods and our environment. Fortunately, the Bellevue City Council is hiring an independent expert who will help us determine how to do that, since PSE refuses to consider any solution other than 13-story poles blighting one of the most livable cities in the nation.

solutions to our energy future. We truly are in an energy revolution. As a Bellevue citizen, I hope my city leaders will have the courage and foresight to challenge the old solutions offered by PSE and join other cities in the US and the world that are in the forefront of generating electricity and creating infrastructure that work in harmony with our environment.

I just read the recent letter from Erik Anderson about boycotting QFC and Fred Meyer because of parent company Kroger’s gun policy. I’m not surprised. He shows his ignorance of law abiding trained citizens carrying firearms. Does he realize that there only will be criminals and bad guys with weapons where he and others shop? Is this really what he wants? Does he not think it better to have responsibly armed citizens shopping where he and his family shop? We are trained in the safety and use of firearms and if a bad guy

happens to threaten innocent people we can and will protect the innocent. This is what the right to bear arms is all about. I would hate to find myself in a position where a bad guy threatens me, my family and/or friends with a weapon and I can’t protect them. I don’t think I could ever forgive myself, especially when I have the right to do so. There have been way too many instances where armed bad guys kill and maim at places where weapons are not allowed. This madness can be stopped by not prohibiting law-abiding trained citizens from carrying firearms.

Keep government out of name change issue
Do we want Congress to tell businesses/organizations what name they can and can’t have for themselves?
Sen. Marie Cantwell wants to take the tax-exempt status away from the NFL because it will not force the Washington Redskins football team to change its name. Three points concern me. One, the government has no business of dictating the name of a business/ organization. If someone is offended, they can sue the Washington team, not try to force the NFL to exert pressure. Many Native Americans are not even offended by the name. Two, if Congress can use the threat of tax-exempt status to change your name or beliefs, then will religious organizations, other nonprofits, and other businesses be next. This smacks of total government control. Three, instead of worrying about a business name being politically correct, maybe Cantwell could do some good to take on the NFL to take a stronger stand against domestic violence – if that is of any concern to her. That might be better use of everyone’s time and yield some positive changes that need to be addressed now.

Assessor to talk property values, taxes in Bellevue
ment rates also factor into increased property values. Once every six years a King County appraiser will do a full assessment of a property, but for those other five years homeowners are seeing valuations from mass appraisals that do account for property sales in their neighborhood. Hara said his office uses an algorithm to minimize the impact of bidding wars that cause home prices to soar. “It’s kind of a blended average, the way it works,” Hara said. Bellevue residents received their valuations by mail in August, and have 60 days from the postmarked date to appeal. Members of the King County Board of Equalization will also be at the Oct. 8 meeting to explain that process.
BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Property values across King County are on the rise, and Assessor Lloyd Hara is once again calming concerns those increases will match Eastside residents’ tax bills. The county assessor will hold a town hall meeting 6:30-8 p.m. Oct. 8 at Bellevue City Hall to discuss with residents the formula for determining these latest property valuations, senior and disabled exemptions, online services and the appeals process. While many Bellevue neighborhoods saw substantial increases to their property values — Bel-Red up 11.3 percent and Lake Hills/Crossroads up 24.2 percent — Hara said a 1-percent cap on what the county can collect in tax revenue prevents levy rates from spiking, even when property values are determined to be substantially higher than the same time last year. There are 590 different levy rates and codes
in King County. “There’s no close correlation between what their values have increased to and the amount of taxes they will pay,” he said, noting some of the shock stems from spending so much time recovering from the recession. “We’ve had so many years of down values, values decreasing, and now we’re starting to see the recovery. We’re back to bidding wars again. You didn’t see that a few years ago.” Barring special levies from school and utilities districts, Hara said the increased property values, when raising tax revenue 1 percent, should mean a

decrease in levy rates across the county. Levy rates won’t be finalized until mid-late December for the 2015 property tax. New construction, which is nearly synonymous with Bellevue at the moment and is not limited by the 1-percent cap, also can lower the levy rate, Hara said. New construction means jobs, he said, and higher employ-

over the Bellevue Youth Court — a term that will end when she lays down her gavel after 25 years of service next spring. Bellevue Youth Court pairs high schoolers with courthouse professionals, who train them to pass on sentences to juveniles for misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor offenses. Those facing sentencing have admitted guilt, and are allowed to be sentenced by their peers, rather than go through typical juvenile court diversion. “Whether you’re the advocate for the state or an advocate for the youth, you learn a lot about real life,” Schapira said.

King County Superior Court Judge Carol Schapira, left center, stands with teen members of the Bellevue Youth Court at City Hall on Sept. 15. The groundwork for the Bellevue Youth Link program — under partnership with the city and King County — took about a year to lay before Schapira started in 2008. At the time, she was a juvenile court judge living on Mercer Island. “Of course I was very interested, and I knew a woman who was a national and world leader in launching this,” she said.
In Judaism, there is no such thing as a mindless ritual. All Jewish spiritual practices are tools to help us overcome our fears and fortify our hopes. If we know how to use them, they can amplify or sense of purpose, deepen our sense of connection, and make us feel more alive. This class is open to anyone who is interested in understanding Judaism.

Desh International is moving into a new office space at the Gateway One building in Bellevue on Nov. 1, with plans to expand again in the next several years. Bellevue is also a growing international market, with big tech companies drawing in developers and engineers from India and China, Desh said. International investors are also coming to Bellevue, and Desh said domestic companies want their support. “I’ve been surprised that startup companies sometimes come and see us about getting startup capital from other countries,” Desh said, “which we didn’t hear a few years ago.” Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Schapira’s presence during Youth Court proceedings was never necessary — the presiding judges being Bellevue teens, the same as the bailiffs, jurors and attorneys — but she has gone beyond what has been required, Stevens said. “You just see them blossom as they move forward,” Schapira said. “It’s just an excellent program. … I do like being there because I want them to know what they’re doing is a real thing. They are really affecting that person’s life.” A replacement hasn’t yet been found for Schapira on the Youth Court, said Stevens, but the judge will lend a hand in the selection. Schapira said she plans to remain active after retirement, which could see her back in a courtroom in some capacity in the future. “I really do like my work, so I’m sure I’ll just need to recoup and lick my paw when I make the change,” she said.

High energy makes 'In The Heights' a knockout BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
It's an odd thing to praise a musical production for its sense of economics. But when the musical in question is "In The Heights" — a hip-hop musical that, like good hip-hop, is supremely concerned with how the interaction of many moving parts form a greater whole — this is a relevant compliment to the work of Village Theatre. The musical, written by Quiara Alegria Hudes with music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, arrived prepackaged with a strong pedigree: it swept up four awards, including Best Musical, at the 2008 Tonys and snatched the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. "Heights" eschewed a largelooming central conflict for a singular character in favor of many small, interconnected ones affect-
REVIEW
ing an entire community. In brief, the plot concerns the dreams and financial obstacles of the residents on a single corner of the heavily Dominican-American Washington Heights neighborhood in Manhattan. Nina Rosario (played in the Village production by Tanesha Ross) is a big fish in a little pond who finds herself at a crossroads after dropping out of Stanford. Benny (Kyle Robert Carter) is a hard worker at the Rosario family's limo business who wants to stand out and eventually strike out on his own — but he's kept at arm's length as a "non-Latino" by Nina's father Kevin (Jose Gonzales). Comely hairdresser Vanessa (Naomi Morgan) wants to escape her alcoholic mother, but can't swing the good credit check to get an apartment outside Washington Heights. She is admired from a distance by Usnavi (Perry Young), the beleagueredbut-generous owner of the corner bodega, who dreams of returning to the Dominican Republic. Any one element might have

Perry Young, center, plays Usnavi in 'In The Heights' been fleshed out into its own story, for better or for worse (One subplot, concerning a mysterious winning lottery ticket, could have easily become the deus ex machina that toppled this story into a Dickensianly saccharine ending). Instead, Hudes judiciously
pruned each branch to allow a whole tree to flourish. Nina can return to college — at a cost to others. Vanessa can be helped into her dream apartment — if she can also help herself. The financial windfall from the lottery ticket is enough to bring upward mobility
to its beneficiary — but not enough to bring permanent security. This is a story that has a sense of its own economy. There are no heroes or villains — just sympathetic characters whose decisions can't help but affect their neighbors. In that spirit, and in the hands of Director Eric Ankrim (last seen starring in Village Original "The Tutor"), what we have on our hands is one of the most living, breathing Village productions in recent memory. It may seem a trifling detail, but enough can't be said about the masterful use of the eight-person ensemble cast in recreating the SEE HEIGHTS, 10

and forth between the three is equal parts funny, energetic and astounding. The best moments of the show are when the principals and ensemble are brought together. True to the reality of life in a city, the principal actors of "Heights" rarely have a moment of intimacy or self revelation in which they aren't surrounded by their softspoken neighbors. And when the ensemble is deployed around a lead vocalist to do what they do best,… this show contains truly complex choreography that results in literally timebending sequences. In two numbers in particular, the dance slows to a crawl as Young hits lightspeed with his rhymes. It is, perhaps, one of the most entertaining portrayals of Einstein's theory of relativity to be used in musical theater.

constant vibrance and motion of everyday urban life. Too often, ensemble players are the suburban Baby Boom children of the theater world: Readily trotted out in front of guests to salvage a dull dinner party, then pushed out to the backyard when the grownups find a new thread of conversation. The principal players are impressively put to work themselves. Young and Carter especially stand out in their portrayal of sympathetic regular Joes with lofty ambitions. They are also, along with Justin Huertas, the actors most called upon to perform the production's hip-hop numbers. The rat-a-tat back

Wolverines swimming for the four-peat Bellevue boys water polo program off to sizzling start BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Excellence in the pool is an expectation for the Bellevue Wolverines boys water polo squad. The Wolverines, who have won three consecutive state championships, bolted out of the gates with a 2-0 overall record in early season action. Wolverines head coach Ed Brovick said his team has consistently been state contenders in the South Sound water polo state tournament for the past decade. "We have won the last three state championships, but before that we've always finished in one of the top four spots. The lowest we've finished was in fifth place," Brovick said. Having that kind of success is a blessing for the program but it also creates a sense of urgency that keeps everyone on their toes. Wolverines' co-captain/hole defender Liam Naughton knows his team has a giant target on his back. "Everyone is gunning for us. The pressure is on just as much as it was last year and just as much as it was the year before

Bellevue co-captain Liam Naughton looks for a teammate to pass the ball to during an early season matchup. that," Naughton said. "We have a really good group of returning guys on this team." The Wolverines didn't rest on their laurels during the off-season. They spent their summer fine tuning their skills in a myriad of ways. They traveled to California
where they competed against some of the best teams in the nation. Naughton said his squad ramped up its informal workouts in August in preparation for the first day of practice on Aug. 25. "About three weeks before the season
started we had captains practices, which were run by myself and Marco Stanchi (co-captain). There were no coaches there, it was just us. This is where we got to know each other really well as a team and get in really good shape," he said. Brovick said water polo is a niche sport, which requires a multitude of hours of dedication in order to achieve success. "It's a high school sport so there is a wide range of athletes, but many of our elite athletes play all year-around. These guys typically work out four or five days a week in the water for at least two hours a day during the season," the head coach said. "We also lift weights on Wednesdays and Saturdays or do some other kind of gym workout out of the water." The Wolverines return four starters consisting of Stanchi, Naughton, Zack Rossman and Cameron Hayes from the 2013 team. Wolverines' assistant coach Evan Kaseguma said he expects his experienced roster to make another run at a state title. "Our only goal is to play our best water polo at the end of the season. We think if we do that, then whatever happens will happen," Kaseguma said. "We will be happy with reaching our maximum potential. That is really our goal and if we can get that SEE WOLVERINES, 12

A powerful presence in the pool Marco Stanchi heart and soul of Wolverines' water polo team BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
We think
the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.
Three Clinics in Downtown Bellevue We think about you
Adult and family medicine and comprehensive primary care
The summer of 2014 was unforgettable for Bellevue Wolverines water polo player Marco Stanchi. Stanchi, who was on the United States youth national water polo team that competed in games in Turkey and Italy during the summer months, is the heart and soul of the Wolverines water polo program. The experience overseas had a huge impact on Stanchi. "It was an amazing BEYOND THE experience and definitely eye opening culturally. It was also great water-polo-wise. I got to meet the best players in the country and pick up (skills, habits) what I could from them," Stanchi said. The Wolverines return just four starters off of last year's team but don't expect a drop-off in performance. Bellevue has won three consecutive Class 3A state water polo titles from 2011 through 2013. "I think this is going to be our toughest year so far," Stanchi said of the task of winning a state crown. "We have a group of guys who will all step up to the challenge. We're pretty excited about it." Stanchi said he doesn't stay in one customary position in the pool for the Wolverines. He enjoys being a jack of all trades kind of player. "I move around quite a lot. Whatever we need as a team I'm willing to do," he said. Stanchi is undecided on what his plans are for next year but knows his future is undoubtedly ingrained in water polo.

"I'm either going to take a gap year (year away from sport in the United States) and play in Italy or I will play in college (in United States)," he said. Recently the Reporter had an opportunity to ask Stanchi a few questions about his life away
from the pool. Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time? Marco Stanchi: It is "Lone Survivor." It was probably the most inspiring movie I've ever seen. BR: What is your biggest pet peeve? MS: When people chew with their mouth open. I get afraid the little food bits are going to go everywhere. BR: What artist are you listening to the most in your iPod right now? MS: It is probably "Oasis" It's an English 1990s rock band. BR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2015? MS: I'm going with the Seattle Seahawks. They have Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas and are the best team. BR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be? MS: Gianluigi Buffon. He is an Italian soccer player. He has been my hero since I was four or five years old. BR: How many text messages do you send per day? MS: I don't text that much. I probably send between 20 to 30 text messages a day. BR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know? MS: I really like to clean. I'm kind of a neat freak.

fourth (state) title that would be nice." Kaseguma, who was instrumental in starting the Wolverines water polo program during his high school days in the late 1990s and early 2000s, said the program has came a long way in the past 16 years. He is a 2001 graduate of Bellevue High School.
"When the team first started in 1998 our only goal was to field a team and have enough guys to play in the game," he said. "Now we're going to California as a team twice a year and are playing against some of the best competition in the country. It is very excited to see that we're at the point now where we have a lot of athletes who are going on to play college water polo. It is fun to see the program reach that level."

Funded through the Bellevue Downtown Association’s TransManage and in partnership with the city and King County, Commute Challenge participants — lone drivers — have the opportunity to have their alternative means of travel paid for during the weeklong challenge, and are expected to post comments
about their experiences. Those using public transportation will receive prepaid ORCA cards, while those opting to carpool receive gas money, said Jason Hampton, transportation program coordinator for TransManage. Those switching to biking receive gift cards to Gregg’s Bellevue Cycle. Applications are being accepted until Oct. 1. “Last year’s was a longer period, so they gave them more than a week to do it and we paid for a longer commute. This year we wanted more people to do it,” Hampton said. “One person’s story spreads through the office or the community and other people give it a chance.” Ten people have started the application process, and three people have completed the challenge, he said.
“We feel very good about our vetting process, and so far our stories have been really great,” Hampton said. Those who successfully complete the weeklong challenge qualify for a Nov. 10 drawing, where people can win prizes like an iPad Mini, Kindle Fire and a $300 ORCA card. Hampton said even if people don’t want to accept the weeklong challenge, they can share their alternative commuting experiences on Choose Your Way Bellevue’s Facebook page to be considered for a weekly $25 REI gift card giveaway. Apply for the Commute Challenge at Choose YourWayBellevue.org or share your experiences at Facebook.com/Choose YourWayBellevue. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Carl Vander Hoek returned to the City Council on Monday with a proposal for a public-private partnership to construct underground parking at Downtown Park to meet future demand there and in adjacent Old Bellevue. Vander Hoek had told councilmembers during their last meeting he would be soliciting support from downtown stakeholders, announcing Monday he now has the support of the Bellevue Downtown Association, with plans to bring the Rotary Club of Bellevue and Bellevue Chamber of Commerce into future discussions. Project manager for the family company, Vander Hoek Corporation, he was joined Monday by fellow Old Bellevue Merchants Association members to appeal for a parking solution. With the city’s plans to begin completing the circle at Downtown Park and constructing the Inspiration Playground next summer, Vander Hoek told the council this is the last opportunity to use the public property to increase parking capacity underground. A stack of binders filled with research beside him, the developer questioned how the city has no plans to increase parking at the park

Some Old Bellevue merchants say lack of parking is costing them business.
when it currently boasts 250 events there, drawing in 170,000 people annually. Randi Brazen, who owns Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty with her husband, Joseph, said they had to relocate their realty office from Main Street to the Crossroads due to a lack of parking. Their Old Bellevue restaurant, 520 Bar and Grill, helped revitalize the neighborhood, she said. But it too is losing business, Brazen said, with people calling to cancel reservations after being unable to find parking. “They end up going to the (Bellevue Square) mall because there’s adequate parking there,” she said. Dennis True, of Old and Elegant Distributing, told the council that inadequate parking has existed in Old Bellevue as far back as the ‘60s, and the problem now continues to be the employees of those businesses along Main Street taking up available on-street spots. Solving employee parking will solve customer parking, he said. Vander Hoek said he has also contacted a consulting firm that works with the city of Seattle for its parking needs to determine what options may be available to curb the parking problem. The council has not discussed this proposal, so far, nor has it directed staff to take it up for consideration.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
