Police recommend charges against Lynch accuser BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue Police Department has forwarded a criminal summons to the city attorney’s office against the 31-year-old woman alleged to have made false assault allegations against
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch back in August, which appears to be the result of mistaken identity caused by the woman’s state of intoxication at the time. Police believe evidence exists against Jammie Ficarelli of Everett
to charge her with making a false or misleading statement to a public servant, which is a gross misdemeanor. Lynch had been cleared of the allegations early on in the investigation. According to a probable cause affidavit, Ficarelli had been drink-
ing excessively at the Blue Martini in downtown Bellevue on Aug. 9, later ending up outside The Bravern apartment complex. She saw a man emerge from a vehicle in the valet area of The Bravern whom she identified as Lynch. She told investigators she was

Bellevue’s first recreational marijuana shop, Green-Theory, opened its doors at noon Monday after several months coordinating with the city and state liquor control board. “We finally were able to all collaborate and make it happen,” said Green-Theory Manager Tera Martin. “We did an awesome buildout.

It’s out with the old and in with the new at the Factoria Transfer Station, where for the past week crews have been demolishing antiquated warehouses to make way for a $50 million facility upgrade. The west building had been leveled and the east was still coming down at the station Tuesday. The current transfer station lacks the space and height to accommodate larger commercial vehicles that were not anticipated when the station was constructed in the mid-1960s, said Doug Williams, a spokesman for the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks. A larger, taller and more environmentally friendly facility will be constructed within the footprint of the razed warehouses off of Southeast 30th Street, across from the current transfer station.

Police recommend felony charge for Coal Creek hit-and-run suspect The Bellevue Police Department is recommending the King County Prosecutor’s Office file a felony hit-and-run charge against a 58-year-old Bellevue woman suspected of being the second driver to strike a pedestrian in a crosswalk at Forest Drive Southeast and Coal Creek Parkway on Sept. 10. A 34-year-old woman was legally using the Forest Drive Southeast crosswalk at Coal Creek Parkway around 3:24 a.m. when a Seattle man in a ‘99 Chevy Astro made a right-hand turn onto Coal Creek, not seeing the pedestrian, according to a police report submitted to the prosecutor’s office. The Astro knocked the pedestrian down, running over her legs and pelvis, followed by a 2012 Porsche Cayenne that also ran over the woman. The report states that driver, Sun-Ho Choi, pulled over to the side of the road briefly before fleeing the scene. The Astro driver stayed to assist the injured woman, according to the report. The pedestrian was transported to Harborview Medical Center with lifethreatening injuries. Police acquired footage from city traffic cameras monitoring the intersection to

Police: Suspect returns stolen $20K wedding ring BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Snohomish couple feels they’ve had a piece of their lives restored after a woman returned the $20,000 wedding ring she stole from them at the Nordstrom Rack in Factoria. Sroy Lee McCarthy had been shopping at The Rack on Sept. 19, and left her purse unattended while she tried on shoes. A Chinese national woman named Xia Liu was believed to be the person seen in security footage approach and steal McCarthy’s purse, which had the ring inside. Police report the theft suspect returned the ring at the Bellevue Police Department on Tuesday, after a family member saw video of the woman on Washington’s Most Wanted. The suspect was arrested and later released. “First response was disbelief, I’ll just say that,” said Brian McCarthy about the return of his wife’s ring in a phone interview Wednesday. “… It was a one-of-a-kind and you can’t replace something that has those memories built into it.” He said it was the woman’s daughter who convinced her to return the ring. Now that they have it back, the McCarthy’s don’t want to press charges, he said. “We went through hell the last 2 1/2 weeks, and now she’s going to have to do the same thing,” Brian McCarthy said. “We don’t want that to happen. We got back what we wanted.” Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com; on Twitter @BrandonMacz

Police continue to investigate stabbing of alleged shoplifter BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Police are investigating whether a downtown Safeway employee who reportedly stabbed an alleged shoplifter after chasing him out of the store acted in selfdefense during a second altercation outside. Police received back-to-back reports around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 1 of a stabbing near the intersection of Northeast Fourth Street and 106th Avenue Northeast and a Safeway employee covered in blood, according to a department news release. Bellevue Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said a 37-year-old man tried to exit the Bellevue Way Safeway with a basket of liquor and other merchandise, but was confronted by the store employee. The alleged shoplifter struck the employee in the head with a bottle and ran from the store, he said. The employee pursued the shoplifter to a nearby Bank of America parking lot, where another fight between the two men reportedly ensued. The employee pulled a folding knife from his pocket and stabbed the alleged shoplifter multiple times in his upper torso, Tyler said.
Tyler said witnesses were present at both altercations and have provided corroborating statements, including the employee who returned to Safeway. He sustained a cut to the face and was treated by medics at the scene, he said. The alleged shoplifter staggered into the roadway on Northeast Fourth and collapsed. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center with lifethreatening injuries. Tyler said several pieces of merchandise found near the alleged shoplifter tied him to the reported Safeway theft. Tyler said whether the Safeway employee was acting in self-defense will be discovered during the ongoing investigation, which includes viewing security footage from buildings the two men would have passed by during the chase and second altercation. Police will need to determine if any Bank of America cameras captured the altercation, he said. “That’s going to all really depend on what happened in the parking lot of the Bank of America and that is definitely something that we’re looking into,” Tyler said of determining self-defense.
FBI seek Rent Money Bandit A robbery suspect who struck the Chase Bank on the 1900 block of 156th Avenue Northeast on Oct. 2 is believed to be the Rent Money Bandit, named so by the FBI due to his habit of striking banks during the first few day of the month. Bellevue Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said a man approached a bank teller around 2:36 p.m. and passed them a threaten-
ing note. The teller gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money and he exited the bank. A K-9 officer was dispatched in the area, but was unable to locate the suspect. The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force is seeking information about the Rent Money Bandit, who is believed to have also struck Chase Bank locations in Issaquah and Newcastle on

A Bellevue man is facing one count of third degree theft after he allegedly attempted to steal $255 worth of merchandise at the 148th Ave NE Fred Meyer in late August, but not before taking a nap in the store’s dinning area. According to Bellevue Police, the store’s loss prevention office saw Devin E. Baker in the store’s men’s section take a watch, remove the packaging and place it on his wrist, then took a Nike backpack, some shirts, socks and undershirts.
records officer Randy Bolerjack said discussions are at a very preliminary stage, as the two districts define how to go about the process. The Bellevue School District is scheduled to meet again on Oct. 21. The Mercer Island School Board’s next meeting, a joint meeting with Mercer Island’s City Council, will be Oct. 16.
Afterward, Baker walked to a different section, where he put on a jacket and then proceeded to fill the backpack with the other items he had taken. Walking to the store’s deli, Baker allegedly grabbed a drink and some ice cream bars that he promptly consumed, then walked to the store’s health and beauty section grabbing cologne, a razor, and Tinactin, before returning to the deli. Once back at the deli, Baker fell asleep for “a while,” according to the police report. “He woke up and then bypassed several open check stands and exited the store with the concealed items,” the report states. Baker was confronted by the store’s loss prevention officers and agreed to return to the store where he later admitted to police he stolen the items.

That’s not what public health is about.” “We’re not distressed. Our balance sheet is still strong,” Roberts told the audience. “But there’s also a great deal of uncertainty about the future. Increased mergers, the way health care will be delivered in the future, how insurance plans fit into narrow networks. … We’re not the only community hospital that is faced with these questions about whether their business is relevant as a stand-alone entity.

Snoqualmie Valley residents told King County Public Hospital District 4’s board of commissioners Thursday, Oct. 2, to protect of local rights and services at the first public hearing on the hospital’s affiliation with Overlake Hospital of Bellevue. The board is considering selling its hospital and clinic operations to Overlake. Commissioners Ryan Roberts and Dariel Norris are part of a negotiating team working with Overlake on terms of the deal, which has a new deadline of March 2015. If the board approves an agreement, thedistrict’s new hospital rapidly taking shape on Snoqualmie Ridge would open next March under the Overlake banner. Several residents wanted an explanation why the district needs to offer its operations to a bigger partner. “Frankly, I’m wondering why you’re thinking of giving it up,” said Fall City resident Nancy Moore. “I had trouble finding what benefits this would have to the hospital district.” She and her husband, Del, were among a number of residents who asked that the district preserve funding for the Sno-Valley Senior Center under the new deal. The district provides $60,000 per year for the center’s Adult Day Health program, which “provides people with relationships, activities that stimulate the mind, exercise programs,” plus an important respite for caregivers, Moore said. The board will tell Overlake that programs like the senior center deserve continuing support, said Roberts, commit post-hospital tax funds, or “give you sufficient runway to figure out how to continue that mission with funding from somewhere else,” he added. “We would like to figure out how

Alliance between ports of Seattle and Tacoma good for region, taxpayers
T
he ports of Seattle and Tacoma are poised to do something historic next week: stop fighting and start working together. Taxpayers should be pleased. Each port is countywide, in King and Pierce, respectively. Each receives taxpayer support. By working together through this new alliance, not only will they offer more options to shipping companies, but also make better use of they money they have been spending to take customers away from each other. As Stephanie Bowman, co-president of the Port of Seattle Commission, put it: “Instead of competing against one another, we are combining our strengths to create the strongest maritime gateway in North America.” Ports around the U.S. are becoming more and more competitive as they seek to pry shipping companies away from one another. By combining the advantages of Seattle and Tacoma — just 30 miles apart — the ports can offer more of a one-stop shopping for shipping companies. That should increase — or at least hold on to — the shipping business they now have. The two port commissions are expected to vote on the alliance next week. It should be an easy “yes” vote for both. — Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Ukraine conflict close to home BY VALERIY GOLOBORODKO
E
ver since Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1990, the fledgling country has struggled to maintain its prosperity and sovereignty amidst crippling corruption and Russian political sabotage. Ukrainian protesters earlier this year ousted former President Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian toady who had imprisoned the country in a system of racketeering and crime. The protests erupted when Yanukovych abandoned a pending deal with the European Union. Ukrainians see Russia’s aggression in Crimea as merely its latest and most blatant attempt to undermine their sovereignty. They refuse to be bullied any longer for their patriotic feelings. Russia’s stated reasons for involvement in Crimea are disingenuous and hypocritical. Officially it seeks to protect itself from NATO aggression and to protect the Russian-speaking population of Crimea from a fascist Ukrainian regime. In truth the Ukrainian ethnic minority in Crimea is too small to oppress ethnic Russian citizens there even if it wanted to, which it doesn’t. Russian involvement in Crimea actually seeks to reunite the Slavs under Russian leadership and to claim Crimea’s large petroleum reserves and industrial enterprises

for the glory of a revived Russian empire. The conflict in Ukraine may seem far away, but for Seattle’s Ukrainian-American community, which counts more than 60,000 people, it hits very close to home. Even for Americans with no Ukrainian ties, the conflict is more relevant than it seems. This is not the first time that Vladimir Putin’s Russia has engaged in expansionist behavior, and unless the aggression is checked, it won’t be the last. As Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko met with American and Canadian leaders last month, Russian strategic bombers buzzed Alaskan airspace. Russia is sending the West a message about its involvement in Ukraine. It’s time the West sent a message of its own. King County’s Republican Party recently supported Ukraine’s democratic way to prosperity in a resolution expressing full moral support for Ukrainians and recognizing Russia as an aggressor against a sovereign and independent Ukraine. This is one important way of showing support, though of course actions speak louder than words.

n Sept. 30, about 25 residents from (mostly) the eastern end of the Bel-Red Corridor attended the first joint Bellevue/Redmond City Council meeting in seven years. While many pressing issues appeared on the two-hour agenda, one of the more heartening outcomes of the meeting was a shared pledge to gather annually for staff updates and mutual problem-solving. Next year an item dealing with increased school population in that area should be featured. In other outcomes, respective city staffs were directed to share findings on human services/public safety and economic development strategies after which the councilmembers addressed the complex subject of transit, traffic congestion and road improvements in the Overlake district. Imagine Overlake and neighborhoods bordering the frequently-gridlocked epicenter of Bel-Red Road, 156th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 24th Street have been concerned about the tsunami of vehicles that soon will start rippling through the community as growth begins in developments such as Overlake Village’s Esterra Park and Bellevue’s Bel-Green Development – formerly Group Health and Angelo’s Nursery, respectively. Councilmembers David Carson (Redmond) and Kevin Wallace (Bellevue) citied the
importance of roadway improvements and Bellevue Councilmember John Stokes added that impacted neighborhoods should be engaged in the planning process — a notion we heartily endorse. It was encouraging to learn that traffic planners from both jurisdictions will update their projection of future travel patterns and (hopefully) begin a mutual infrastructure improvement effort that would benefit area residents and businesses. Bellevue and Redmond councilmembers also agreed to continue mutual efforts on the Eastside and in Olympia to obtain funding for transit, the East Link light rail line and various road improvements. At the local level, both jurisdictions are initiating review of their next biennial budgets that will contain line items for capital projects. Intersection improvements in the Overlake area must keep pace with the additional vehicles brought into this burgeoning neighborhood. We encourage all Bellevue and Redmond citizens to inform themselves and provide testimony to their leaders on capital investment programs and other matters they feel critical. It will be two years before you get another chance.

It is very heartening to read that Bellevue College is willing to spend up to $200,000 in design improvements to keep King County Metro’s Route No. 271 to continue running through its campus as it does now to serve the students and staff who use Metro services. It is highly commendable to note that our King County Councilmember, Jane Hague, was largely responsible for getting Metro to the bargaining table with Bellevue College. I am very hopeful that Jane will do the same with the city of Bellevue to collaborate with Metro on how to keep the Route 271 services running from Eastgate Park & Ride and continue on to Southeast Newport Way to Issaquah Park & Ride and back. Metro
is currently planning to cut this service traveling to Issaquah and back. I have been taking Metro bus service for 38 years to work and back. Cutting the Route 271 service to Issaquah will greatly affect me and other seniors who live at the Vasa Creek Senior Center. This is our lifeline, which will impact our getting around independently. Most of us are not driving and take the bus to do our grocery shopping, medical appointments, volunteer commitments and other necessities. It is imperative to keep Route 271 running on its present service to Issaquah and back to Eastgate Park & Ride where we transfer to other buses going to Factoria, Bellevue Transit and Crossroads. Many residents in this area of Bellevue along Newport Way do not speak English and using Metro is their only way of getting around to these familiar areas. Metro Route 271 connects us and the many Bellevue College foreign exchange students who live in the Eastgate

Senn has worked to keep us safe
As a mother of three children and a Bellevue resident since 1998, I will be voting this November for legislators who have demonstrated their commitment to common sense policies that make our families and communities safer from gun violence. One such candidate is state Rep. Tana Senn. Tana, like me, is a mom who is living, working and raising her family here on the Eastside. She understands that we must reduce the public health impacts of preventable gun violence and has been consistent in her efforts to promote greater safety. Tana helped to organize the Million Mom March in the late ‘90s. In 2006, while Tana was serving on the board of directors, the horrible hate-crime shooting happened at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. Afterwards Tana worked tirelessly to help the injured women through their physical and emotional recovery and to support them throughout the trial. As our state representative, Tana worked successfully with other lawmakers to pass legislation that will help keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers by making it unlawful for them to possess a weapon while under a restraining or protection order. Just recently, as a Mercer Island city councilmember, Tana voted in support of a City Council resolution to endorse Initiative 594 which will expand our current background check system to include private gun sales. Please vote to retain Tana Senn as our 41st District state representative. We need elected officials who are committed to protecting the safety of all families.

As an Eastside resident and frequent Lake Washington commuter, I am gravely concerned by Sound Transit’s plan to run light rail across the center lanes of I-90 beginning in 2017 with a shut down of this center roadway for a projected six years. Reverse commuters can attest to the hassle of traveling without these lanes, and we can all look forward to gridlock if all I-90 travelers are denied access. I am a proponent of mass transit, but is six years and billions of dollars worth Sound Transit’s stated goal of increasing transit ridership from 40,000 to 50,000? The U.S. Public Interest Group (PIRG) recently classified the Seattle Tunnel Project as the No. 1 transportation “boondoggle” in the country.

Obama throws money at border issue
Is President Obama trying to destroy the United States by allowing unfettered access at our southern border? Probably not. Is he in any way competent to handle this crisis? Absolutely not. He was in Texas recently for three fundraisers. Wouldn’t logic dictate that he at least show up on the border to signal some concern for these thousands of children and others that are flooding into the U.S.? Apparently logic has flown out the window. The president did deign to finally accept a meeting with Texas Gov. Rick Perry (who has been down to the border). Texas Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar said, “This might be President Obama’s ‘Katrina moment.” While Katrina was a natural disaster and the border is a man-made one, the political fall out could be just as devastating. Proposed solutions to the border problem have ranged from lassiez faire to draconian. President Obama’s solution seems to be (yet again) throw money at it. He’s asking for $4 billion to handle the crisis. Little of this will go to actually shore up our porous borders. Oh, yes, an added wrinkle — threaten all the border agents and workers not to talk about any of it under fear of immediate termination. President Obama is good at two things, making speeches and fundraising. The actual governing of a nation? Not so much.

Blame politicians, not public schools
The fundamental economic fact of the last 30 years is the relentless transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich. The Wall Street Journal reports that 95 percent of the income gains from the economic recovery of 2009-2012 went to the richest 1 percent. Nationwide, the percentage of corporate profits paid as state income taxes has dropped from 7 percent in 1980 to about 3 percent today. Conservatives slashed taxes for the rich, while at the same spending trillions of dollars on military adventures and hardware that lined the pockets of private defense contractors. Obsession with tax cuts and deregulation crashed the economy in 2008, causing corporations to come crying to the federal government for bailouts. We don't live in a capitalistic country. We live in a country where there is Socialism for the rich. Washington State's tax system is particularly regressive, due to our dependence on a sales tax and due to tax breaks for rich corporations such as Microsoft and Boeing -- tax breaks sup-

Bike lanes on 116th is a crazy idea
The City of Bellevue is contemplating bike lanes on 116th Avenue Northeast. This is a crazy idea. The street is very congested and busy, particularly between Northeast Eighth and Northeast 12th. Traffic to and from Overlake Hospital, let alone the multitudes of other business in that area, would be severely and negatively impacted by a bike lane. The city is suggesting eliminating the center turn lane to accommodate the bike lanes. The center turn lane is critical for ingress and egress. I own two medical office buildings on 116th. Years ago we paid into an LID to widen 116th to accommodate the center turn lane and other improvements on 116th. This idea to add a bike lane taking away a turn lane is extremely counter productive.

I-594 will make us safer
In November the citizens of Washington have the opportunity to make Washington safer by voting “yes” for Initiative 594. This initiative will reduce access to guns by criminals, domestic violence abusers, and other dangerous persons. At present only guns purchased in Washington through a licensed dealer are subject to a criminal background check. Guns purchased or transferred in other ways, such as through gun shows, online or from a private party are not regulated. Everytown for Gun Safety has estimated, based on national surveys, that in Washington state under current law about 40 percent of gun transfers are not subject to a background check. Initiative 594 will save lives. There is evidence showing that required background checks for gun sales reduce gun violence. Moreover, there is evidence showing that background checks reduce by 38 percent the rate at which women are killed by the gun of an intimate party and decrease by 49 percent gun suicide. Since 1994 federal law, which requires background checks when guns are purchased from private dealers, has
AubreysClockGallery.com Watch & Clock Repair • Music & Jewelry Boxes
EYAS GLOBAL MONTESSORI SCHOOL Enrolling Children Ages 2.5 - 6 Years Old
blocked more than 2.1 million gun purchases nationwide. The expansion of background checks mandated by initiative 594 will make it even more difficult for dangerous persons in our state to acquire guns. Initiative 594 contains many reasonable exemptions such as gifts between immediate family members, sale or transfer of antique firearms, temporary transfers to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm, transfers at an established shooting range, and temporary transfer to a directly supervised child for lawful hunting, sporting or educational purposes. Opponents of expanded background checks, in an attempt to defeat the initiative, claim that the initiative will regulate temporary innocuous transfers such as those at a hunting safety class, which is not held at a shooting range. Clearly our police would not make an arrest in this type of situation. Moreover, opponents of Initiative 594 have not been able to give any examples where this has occurred in states that have adopted expanded background checks. Voting for Initiative 594 will protect Washington citizens by closing the loophole that allows dangerous persons to acquire guns without a background check.

President’s salute not an issue
Larry Brickman’s recent letter about the president shows just how out of touch with reality he is. Did he, or anyone else complaining about Obama’s salute, make the same criticism of GWB when he saluted with a dog in his hands? Rather than try to make an issue out of a trivial matter, why doesn’t he and the rest of the fake patriotism conservatives focus on fixing real issues in the world like lack of education, quality heath care or the crumbling middle class. The world needs love and compassion, not division and political posturing.

ported by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The plan among conservatives now is to blame economic problems on public schools, which society has been underfunding for decades. In fact, educational outcomes closely tracks rates of poverty, and countries which outperform us have public schools and lower levels of poverty. So don't blame public schools. Blame our corrupt political system, in which politicians depend on the largesse of wealthy donors to get elected.

Wolverines undefeated on the soccer pitch
Bellevue Wolverines outside hitter Elise Berberoglu a four-year varsity starter
BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Attacking the net has never been a problem for Bellevue Wolverines senior outside hitter Elise Berberoglu on the volleyball court. Berberoglu, who has been in the Wolverines varsity starting lineup since her freshman season in 2011, loves the thrill of spiking the ball for game-altering points. "A lot of people are timid at the net but I just like to hit the ball as hard as I can," Berberoglu said. While Berberoglu enjoys the rush of competing for points at the top of the net, she also picks her spots depending on how opposing teams' defenses are positioned. "Our coaches emphasize shot selection. You have to be smart with where you are putting the ball. That is something I make sure I always focus on," she said. Wolverines head coach Mike Beckerman said Berberoglu's velocity and placement of shots are second to none.
"Elise is definitely strong armed and very smart with her shot selection. She makes good plays and hits hard," Beckerman said. "She's a very energetic and focused person. She's been that way since the first day she took the court four years ago and has determination in everything she does." Berberoglu, who is one of the Wolverines' three captains this season, was dubbed a team leader since she stepped foot in the gymnasium four years ago. "Elise has been a team captain since her first year because you could just see that leadership on the court," Beckerman said. Berberoglu said she strives to embrace the underclassmen with open arms, so they feel connected with the more experienced players on the roster. "When I was a freshman I was really close with all of the juniors and seniors. They were super welcoming. I feel like this year our team is really close. We connect well on and off the court.

SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Interlake Saints running back De'Jhion Parrish doesn't let his lack of size affect him on the football field. Parrish, who stands 5 feet, 5 inches and weighs 167 pounds, is a vital cog in Interlake's offensive arsenal as the featured running back. Parrish's breakout game came in the third week of the season against the Liberty Patriots. Parrish had 23 carries for 295 yards and three rushing touchdowns in a 44-32 loss in the third week of the season. Parrish was happy with his stats, but would had rather gotten the win. "I just try to do my best and do whatever I can to help the team get the win. I don't care if I get 10 carries and 70 yards. All that matters is that we get the 'W'. That is what is most important to me," Parrish said. The Saints have built a respectable 2-3 overall record through five games this season. In 2013, the Saints won just one game. "We have had a perfect start

Berberoglu said Beckerman's a tireless worker who knows the game inside and out. "Mike completely changed Bellevue volleyball. He dedicates so much time to this program. That inspires us because we know he is so dedicated and puts in so much effort," she said. "He inspires us to put in the same amount of effort and time he puts in.

Broadway smash ‘Kinky Boots’ struts into Seattle ‘Drag is almost besides the point’ BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER
It’s a tale as old as time, boy inherits failing shoe company from his father, boy meets drag queen, boy and drag queen work together to save company by creating “two and a half feet of irresistible tooo-bular sex.” Co-written by Harvey Fierstein (book) and musical icon Cyndi Lauper, the story centers around Charlie (Steven Booth), who has just taken the helm of his family’s business making men’s shoes, and Lola (Kyle Taylor Parker), a local drag queen who provides the means to save the company, stilettos for men. But the six-time Tony award-winning musical
“Kinky Boots” launching its three-week run at the 5th Avenue Theatre this week is so much more, Fierstein said in a recent interview with the LA Times. “’Kinky Boots’ is about two guys who had fathers that wanted their sons to turn out a certain way — and neither son wanted to take that path,” he told the newspaper. Craig Waletzko, who plays George, the factory foreman and former right-hand man to Charlie’s father, told The Bellevue Reporter the parallels between Charlie and Lola’s lives showcase similarities many audience members aren’t expecting. “The drag is almost besides the point,” he said. “The father-son theme is central to the story, and a lot of audience members are expecting another ‘Hed-

CELEBRATE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Research Volunteers Wanted . . . Do you currently use Clarisonic products?
Those four little words
Would you like to use Clarisonic products?
By Diane Grayson My breast cancer journey is called “four little words.” My journey began with “You have breast cancer.” After my initial diagnosis, follow-up appointments, medical forms filled out and questions to answer, I had to change those four words to “I have breast cancer.” And at that point it became very personal. Months passed and treatments are now finished and I am finally able to say, “I am a survivor.” Life goes on and it has been eight years. I encourage women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer to reach out to someone so they don’t go through the experience alone. Take someone with you to your doctor appointments and treatments; sometimes you need that second set of ears. When I heard those four words, “you have breast cancer,” that’s all I heard. That’s where the conversation stopped for me. There are several nonprofit organizations like Cancer Lifeline, Angel Care Breast Cancer Foundation, Susan G. Komen Puget Sound and Reach to Recovery that can give you one-on-one emotional support and so can family members as well. I was very thankful to have had my husband beside me during this time. My husband’s first wife had breast cancer and passed away due to complications with the disease. It was difficult for him, but he is a strong supporter for me because he had been through it once before. There have

been lots of advances in the medical world with breast cancer. He figured this is why the lord brought us together, so he could help me through this new chapter in my life. I also recommend everyone, survivors in particular, to experience at least one breast cancer race. I have participated in “Race for the Cure” and “Wings of Courage” a couple of times and I cried each time I crossed the finish line. It is a powerful, overwhelming feeling as a survivor to accomplish a goal like a race and to see others, who are clearly going through treatments still, cross the finish line alongside me. My final message to those battling breast cancer and the loved ones who support them is to stay strong. Never give up. There is always a new day tomorrow. Even though life brings challenges, the sun will rise again. Diane Grayson lives in Bellevue.

Chatalas brothers’ Tavern Hall opens at Bellevue Square BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Chatalas brothers quietly opened the doors to Tavern Hall at Bellevue Square last week, and have been pleased to find their restaurant attracting customers without actively seeking exposure. “This concept, for us, was about creating a big, fun space that everybody could enjoy, and one that presented itself in a way that’s unique in the market,” said Marc Chatalas, co-owner of the new tavern-style restaurant. Tavern Hall is a skip away from Cactus — part of a chain of Mexican restaurants owned by the Chatalas brothers — and unlike anything they’ve done before, said Chatalas.

Tavern Hall’s buildout included church windows from Portland, a facade from a former psychiatric hospital in upstate New York, a giant clock from Buenos Aires and balled columns from a razed building in Baltimore. “You can’t find stuff like that,” said Chatalas. “Things you buy today look like you bought them today.” There are also fireplaces, four shuffleboard tables, multiple televisions, seating for 320 and two bars — the countertop for excise taxes, deductions, tax incentive, sales tax, record-keeping and reporting classifications.

Hilton Garden Inn design under review BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
West77 Partners has submitted its design for a six-story Hilton Garden Inn to be constructed on 108th Avenue Northeast in downtown Bellevue next year. The hotel is to be sited on a vacant lot at 965 108th Ave. N.E., and include 254 rooms and two levels of underground parking to accommodate 187 vehicles. Kurt Jensen of Jensen Fey Architecture and Planning said the hotel will include a public restaurant and lounge, meeting rooms, fitness rooms and a swimming
pool. It may be LEED compliant or certified. He said permit applications are expected to be submitted near the end of the year, with construction slated for the second quarter of 2015. Construction is anticipated to last 14 months. “We’ve gone through some rigorous design review with the city and the neighbors,” Jensen said of blending the new hotel with surrounding buildings, which included limiting its height to about 80 feet in response to concerns from residents in a neighboring condominium. “For Hilton Garden Inns, it will be one of the nicer ones.”

FOR ADULTS WITH DUPUYTREN’S CONTRACTURE WHEN A “CORD” CAN BE FELT
YOU MAY HAVE MORE OPTIONS THAN YOU THINK, AND THAT’S
NO SMALL THING XIAFLEX FOR INJECTION ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF SOMETHING NONSURGICAL CAN BE DONE NOW Dupuytren’s contracture is a disorder of the hand that can worsen over time. XIAFLEX is the only FDA-approved therapy that is administered during an in-office nonsurgical procedure to treat Dupuytren’s contracture where a “rope-like” cord can be felt. A hand specialist trained to inject XIAFLEX performs the procedure, and no general anesthesia is required for administration. Studies show that prescription XIAFLEX may help straighten the affected finger and improve range of motion. These results have been shown in contractures ranging from less severe to more severe. And that’s no small thing. In two clinical studies, 64% and 44% of people receiving XIAFLEX (versus 7% and 5% of patients receiving placebo) had a straight or nearly straight finger after up to 3 XIAFLEX injection procedures. Most people required 1 or 2 injection procedures with XIAFLEX to help “break” the cord. Since February 2010, approximately 45,000 people have had their Dupuytren’s contracture treated with XIAFLEX. Watch a video about one person’s treatment experience, and find more information at XIAFLEX.com. Then, talk with your doctor to see if XIAFLEX may be right for you.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Do not receive XIAFLEX if you have had an allergic reaction to collagenase clostridium histolyticum or any of the ingredients in XIAFLEX, or to any other collagenase product. XIAFLEX can cause serious side effects including tendon rupture (break), ligament damage, nerve injury or other serious injury of the hand, or allergic reaction. Surgery could be required to fix the damaged tendon or ligament. Call your doctor right away if you have trouble bending your injected finger after the swelling goes down, pain, tingling, numbness, or problems using your treated hand or if you get hives, swollen face, breathing trouble, or chest pain. Bleeding or bruising at the injection site can happen in people who receive XIAFLEX. It’s important to tell your doctor about a prior allergic reaction to XIAFLEX, or if you have a bleeding problem or use a blood thinner. Common side effects include hand swelling, bruising, injection site reaction or bleeding, and pain. XIAFLEX should be injected into the cord by a healthcare provider who is experienced in injection procedures of the hand and treating people with Dupuytren’s contracture. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

This will help to keep the medicine from leaking out of the cord. o Do not try to straighten the treated finger yourself. • Keep the injected hand elevated until bedtime. • Call your healthcare provider right away if you have: o signs of infection after your injection, such as fever, chills, increased redness, or swelling, numbness or tingling in the treated finger, trouble bending the injected finger after the swelling goes down • Return to your healthcare provider’s office as directed on the day after your injection. During this first follow-up visit, if you still have the cord, your healthcare provider may try to extend the treated finger to “break” the cord and try to straighten your finger. • Your healthcare provider will provide you with a splint to wear on the treated finger.

Agriculture has always been a large industry on the Eastside. The first cow did not arrive to Washington state until 1838. By the 1920s Washington had established worldwide distribution for its dairy products and by 1940 is was the largest branch of Washington agriculture. The Duey family operated the Twin Valley Dairy on what is now known as Kelsey Creek Farm. Named Twin Valley because of its location between two small valleys north of downtown Bellevue, the dairy began operation in 1921. The Dueys ran the dairy there until about 1942, when the farm was sold. Mrs. Duey would drive the milk truck, making deliveries with the Dueys’ daughters on board to run the bottles up to the houses. Eventually dairy farming was phased out at Twin Valley, with subsequent owners focusing on raising cattle.

Contractor fined and jailed for falsely reporting wages Company underbid work, hired undocumented workers BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Seattle contractor who underbid government and private construction projects by hiring undocumented workers, falsely reporting the wages he was paying and turning over those in his employ who complained about their compensation to immigration officials, was sentenced to three months in jail under work release and fined $10,000 on Sept. 19. Dathan Williams, 33, was originally charged last October with two counts of first-degree theft, two counts of false reporting or failure to secure payment of compensation and one count of offering false instrument for filing or record following a lengthy investigation by the Seattle Police Department. Williams' JRW Structures raked in more than $18,000 for a drywalling contract at the United States Postal Service's Bellevue Carrier Annex by undercutting workers by more than $30 per hour for the project. Rather than paying workers $35.40 per hour for the Bellevue Carrier An-
nex project as is prevailing wage for the federal contract, court documents state Williams paid his drywall installers 23 cents per square foot and lied about it in his reports to the Postal Service. Williams also was found to have used these same practices to obtain contracts at the Moses Lake Civic Center. A Seattle police officer went undercover to investigate Williams's company after two local drywall unions identified JRW Structures as an offending subcontractor believed to be exploiting workers, according to court documents. The undercover officer also received construction training before being introduced to Williams by a cooperating witness who has done work with the subcontractor. Court documents state Williams told the undercover officer he was fond of hiring undocumented workers for cheap labor and had contacted Immigration Customs Enforcement in the past when they demanded more money. Williams pleaded guilty in July to two counts of second-degree theft and one count of offering false instrument for filing or record. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602, bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

It’s easy to be positive when everything is going perfectly and running smoothly. The fact that the Wolverines scored three unanswered goals to erase the two-goal deficit, speaks volumes about their character and desire. Dorman said there isn’t one star on the Wolverines, but instead is a collective unit focused on the goals and tasks at hand. “We have such good balance and have had eight different goal-scorers.

players. If they try to stop one player, we can exploit them in different ways. We don’t rely on one player, but instead rely on the whole group to be successful. We do that not just with our varsity team, but with all three of our teams (varsity, jayvee, c-team) in the program,” he said. “We have a great group of girls who have bought into what we’re trying to achieve.” Dorman expects his team to turn in a season for the ages. “We have some lofty aims and goals, but we know it’s a process and that we have to take everything one game at a time. We want to improve every day. We want to make sure we are never looking too far ahead and that we’re working hard,” he said. The Wolverines are certainly on the right path.

Young soloists to headline Eastside concert
The newest installment of a three-part public art work project will be dedicated Saturday as part of the City of Bellevue’s Public Art Program. Bruce Myers’ “Homage” is a series of images using seeds, pinecones, spirals, braiding and horses pays tribute to the city’s Bridle Trails neighborhood and its woodsy surroundings and equestrian culture. Mayor Claudia Balducci will be joined by Myers, members of the bridle trails community and arts commissioners to celebrate the art installment’s unveiling starting at 11 a.m., Oct. 11. The $35,000 art project, which features large boulders inlaid with bronze, or carvings, depicting local and equestrian themes, are spread out across three locations: near the corner of 120th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 24th Street; 132 Avenue Northeast and Northeast 40th Street; and 140th Avenue Northeast on the Bridle Crest Trail. Following a vote from Bridle Trails residents, the city’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program set to work to find the right artist to capture the area’s essence, said public information officer David Grant.

to take a transformative journey throughout the show. “I love how Harvey (Fierstein) wrote that,” he said. “I get to go on this great journey every night from when Charlie meets Lola to when he has to come out of his comfort zone to save the business he loves.” He also said the friendship between Charlie and
Lola, as opposed to writing some kind of romantic tensions between them, allows the audience access to a deeper, more meaningful story. “It’s more interesting to see them bond as friends, than romantically,” he said. “Harvey touches on it then dissolves it and allows us to see their relationship grow without questions of romance. It shows that although you can be completely different from someone else, you can

Born August 17, 1928 in Greensboro, North Carolina, he was raised an only child in Philadelphia. John joined the Army Air Corps in February 1946.

num and paper, he said. The three-year project will be constructed in phases to allow the present transfer station to continue being used. It is the third transfer station to be redeveloped by the county, with the Bow Lake and Shoreline facility projects already completed. King County expects to reduce transfer trailer truck trips to and from the station by about 30 percent by using new compactors that will crush and weigh garbage before it’s loaded onto trucks “Before we got this technology, the loaders — the people running the loading machinery — had to just kind of eyeball the trucks that would haul the collected garbage from the transfer station to the landfill,” Williams said. “They would fill it until they thought they were close to the approximate weight.”

punched in the face. The two left the apartment, according to Ficarelli’s statement to the BPD, and she chased the man she thought to be Lynch around the complex because of damage caused to her Louis Vuitton purse. The man got away from her, she told police, and she took a taxi home. Results of the police investigation revealed the man she joined for drinks at The Bravern was not the Seahawks running back, whom investigators confirmed had entered his room at the Hilton Bellevue Hotel, where other Seattle players were staying, around 11 p.m. and never left. The resident of The Bravern who had invited
Ficarelli into his apartment was interviewed by police, stating she consumed several drinks there and was asked to leave due to her erratic mood swings, the report states. The man told police at no time did he identify himself as Lynch. A Bravern security guard on duty the night of the incident identified the resident as a black male, 5-feet-11-inches tall, with a medium build and long, black dreadlocks. He also reported seeing the resident attempting to get away from Ficarelli around 5:30 a.m. Aug. 10. Ficarelli was asked to leave the premises, and is alleged to have fallen down outside the complex, the right side of her face striking the paved walkway. During her report to police, a detective documented a red mark under her right eye, chipped front
tooth, scratch to her right hand and other signs of bruising. A Bellevue Police detective would later review surveillance footage from The Bravern and identify Ficarelli as a woman he witnessed walking southbound on 110th Avenue Northeast around 6:20 a.m. Aug. 10, noting she appeared to be “very intoxicated,” according to the report. It is now up to the city attorney to make a decision whether to charge Ficarelli for allegedly making the false report. On Aug. 21, the report states Ficarelli refused to answer police questions because she intended to retain an attorney and sue Lynch.

placed 11th out of 64. Lumala, playing for his parent’s native country of Uganda, placed 64th out of 110 in the under 10 category. Lumala had a chance to become a Candidate Master (CM), three ranks below Grandmaster, but just missed his opportunity. “The last game was one of the worst experiences ever,” he said. “I needed just a half a point to be a CM, but I lost. His opponent played the “Giuoco Piano,” a series of moves that allow the player to dominate the center of the board. Although Lumala knew what was coming, he said he made a “critical error” sacrificing the wrong piece and was checkmated about 30 turns later. Both he and Yu have an uncanny ability to see the board and various potential moves to be made three to five turns ahead. If they continue to play at a similar level or higher, both will be back next year playing for the youth championship and may even face one another. Yu is quick to remind Lumala that he’s yet to win a single game against him, despite hundreds of attempts. It may have to do with Yu’s photographic memory of opening moves. At will he can rattle off at least 30 different combinations, such as the “Giuoco Piano,” a personal favor-

Both have aspirations of playing beyond grade school, which Open Window’s Head
of School, Jeff Stroebel, said is a marker of the school’s ability to nurture its students’ passions. “It’s amazing because, while they’re world chess players, they’re still little boys,” Stroebel said. “Our kids have a lot of talent and it’s great that we can celebrate that here. It’s nice to see kids follow their passions, especially at such a young age. Our chess program is really part of the fabric of our school,” he said.
The Bellevue School District’s central office building is closed due to intermittent power surges. According to Elizabeth Sytman, the district’s director of communication, the building’s main power switch, which was installed sometime in the 1970s, has been malfunctioning since Monday, and since then staff has been working from remote locations until the problem is fixed. “Everyone has a place to work and Internet access so we’re trying to keep it business as usual,” Sytman said. “We’re managing.” Sytman said it may take until Friday for a new power switch and the necessary parts to arrive. She didn’t expect the power outage to be fixed until this weekend, but that the building’s facilities should be up and running Monday morning. To contact the district during the outage, people are encouraged to call 425-456-4000.

425-312-5489 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.
