Bellevue City Council eyes salary adjustments

Pay for elected officials has been flat past 14 years

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

John Chelminiak says he's satisfied with the compensation he receives for his time

serving as a Bellevue city councilmember, but the concerns of others on the council prompted him to speak up Monday about adjusting pay for elected officials — something that hasn't been done in 14 years.

Bellevue councilmembers have been receiving monthly salaries of $1,650 since 2000, the deputy mayor and mayor receiving $1,750 and $1,950, respectively. When councilmembers brought up issues of

compensation this year, Chelminiak said the city clerk provided them with a list of options for increasing it.

Mayor Claudia Balducci said the topic of compensation for elected officials coming up Monday took her by surprise, as it had not been on the agenda. She added, after 14 years, it makes sense to take up the issue sometime before the end of the year.

"There's the concept that if there's not at

least an attractive, I guess I would say, level of pay for the amount of work involved, then we won't get good candidates who want to run for office," Balducci said.

Freshman councilmember Lynne Robinson said Monday the position feels like a full-time job, and the demands of the position make it hard to balance her work SEE COUNCIL, 17

Seattle Humane Society plans new facility School districts

considering new graduation limits

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Seattle Humane Society is in the early stages of designing an expanded, three-story facility in Bellevue to replace its outdated campus on Eastgate Way. "We're really at capacity for what we can do for the animals," said David Loewe, chief executive officer for the Seattle Humane Society.

The humane society has been in existence for 117 years, opening its Bellevue facility in the 1970s. Replacing its Eastside shelter has been considered for the past 14 years, but the society board has only been seriously planning the new facility for the past four years.

"We want to do it once; we want to do it right and really get us set up for the next 50-plus years," Loewe said.

Adopting out about 6,000 dogs and cats each year, the Seattle Humane Society boasts a 97-percent save rate. Its Bellevue facility provides comprehensive care for its shelter animals, but its medical center is too SEE HUMANE, 17

For more than a decade the Bellevue School District's high school graduation requirements, which total 23.5 credits, have exceeded that of of the state, but after lawmakers passed legislation earlier this year, the board has had to increase those minimums.

Revisions to Policy 2410, also known as graduation requirements, were adopted by the school board in March and in doing so, created an advisory committee to review the potential changes and identify whether the student's needs were being met.

This week, members of the committee held forums to meet with parents about the potential changes.

John Harrison, executive director of schools, said the overwhelming majority of the proposed changes would go into effect for the class of 2019, next year's incoming freshman class.

Preliminary recommendations include maintaining the 40 hour community service requirement; eliminating the 2.0 grade point average minimum; reducing physical education and or fitness credit requirements by half of a credit; and increasing science and arts by one credit each.

"We want our students to be able to walk out with the tools necessary to attend a four-year college if they choose to," Harrison said. "These proposed changes increase the rigor and expectations so our students are college ready."

However, the shifts and increased credit load won't be a huge change for Bellevue, he said.

Advisory group narrows PSE’s Energize Eastside route options Public comment sought on final four before December decision

BY REPORTER STAFF

Puget Sound Energy reports a community advisory group has further reduced an original 18 proposed route options for the energy company’s Energize Eastside project down to four.

Fifteen of the 18 advisory group members voted Wednesday to recommend the following routes: Ash (Segments A-C-DF-G1-I-K2-M-N); Oak (Segments A-CE-G2-I-K2-M-N); Redwood (Segments A-C-E-G2-G1-H-K1-K2-M-N); and Willow (Segments A-C-E-J-M-N). These routes can be viewed online at energizeeastside.com/interactive-map.

The project will provide 18 miles of 230kV lines between Redmond and Renton. The goal is to link the lines to an ad-

ditional transformer to increase capacity on the Eastside, as the four existing in the area are beginning to feel the strain, PSE has said. A fifth transformer is expected to handle capacity needs into 2030.

PSE will continue to take public feedback into December, when the community advisory group is expected to make its final recommendation. The energy company will make the final decision on which route is selected.

Open houses 6-8 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Renton Technical College and 6-8 p.m.

Nov. 13 at the Redmond Marriott Town Center will allow the public to comment on the four remaining routes being considered, and PSE will launch an online open house in early November.

Mars Hill Church pastor resigns amid protests by former members

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Mars Hill Church Pastor Mark Driscoll resigned Tuesday after a short leave of absence in August, prompted by accusations he had abused the power granted to him by the position and shunned former members who questioned his decisions.

The Acts 29 Network, an evangelical collective of more than 500 churches worldwide, announced in early August its removal of Mars Hill Church and controversial Pastor Mark Driscoll from its membership. Driscoll’s removal from the network he helped start 15 years ago, along

with all Mars Hill churches from Acts 29, came just less than a week after a mid-size gathering of protesters converged outside the Bellevue church location on Aug. 3.

Driscoll requested a leave of absence in late August, but on Tuesday provided the chairman of the church board of advisors and accountability with his letter of resignation, which opens: “By God’s grace I have pastored Mars Hill Church for 18 years. Today, also

by God’s grace, and with the full support of my wife Grace, I resign my position as a pastor and elder of Mars Hill. I do so with profound sadness, but also with complete peace.”

Driscoll’s letter goes on

to admit he has had his faults while leading the church, but also denounced the process by which the church investigated charges against him.

“I readily acknowledge I am an imperfect messenger of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” writes Driscoll.

“There are many things I have confessed and repented of, privately and publicly, as you are well aware. Specifically, I have confessed to past pride, anger and a domineering spirit.”

Driscoll has offered to assist the church during his transition from leadership, and among his reasons for leaving, states the past several months were harmful to his family.

I-1351 wrong approach to deal with school class size; let Legislature deal with it

E

ducation has become a key issue in our state, so it’s not surprising that an initiative on class size is on the November ballot. However, while I-1351 seems like a good move, it will hamper the Legislature in its efforts to improve funding for public schools.

Voters should say “no” to the initiative.

The initiative, pushed by the Washington Education Association, would require the state to lower class size by hiring 12,000 more teachers. Also mandated would be additional psychologists, what do librarians and counselors, as well as you think? more support staff.

The initiative would cost $4 billion write to us at letters@ issaquahreporter.com when fully implemented after four years. What it doesn’t do is say where the Legislature would get the money.

Would taxes be raised? Would other key state programs be cut? Who knows?

Yes, our state ranks 47th in the nation in class size. But the Legislature already is working on putting more money into our schools as it deals with a court ruling mandating the state fully fund education. One part of the court ruling is to lower class size.

There are lots of aspects to fully funding education. Everything from school supplies to transportation will need to be added. And that means class size, too.

The Legislature knows that satisfying the court ruling will cost billions of dollars more. With so much money and so many decisions needing to be made, lawmakers don’t need their hands tied by the union’s effort to get more members.

Vote “no” on I-1351 and let the Legislature do its job.

The court ruling will keep the Legislature on track.

Trip to Austin shows best practices for Bellevue, Eastside – Texas style

A

few weeks ago, a group of residents from Bellevue and the Eastside went on a trip to Austin, Texas. Like field trips we took as kids back in elementary school, the delegation was there to see and learn new ways of doing things, to explore new ideas — and to use that experience to create and renew back home.

Organized by the Bellevue Downtown Association, the BDA Austin WILLIAM Study Tour consistSHAW ed of more than 50 local community leaders, stakeholders and partners. And what an eclectic group it was. Just about every category possible was represented from Bellevue and the Eastside: Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci and Bellevue City Manager Brad Miyake were joined by

city councilmembers, staffers and state legislators.

Also in this diverse potpourri were downtown real estate developers and arts, entertainment and theater groups.

To add to the mix were progressive and engaged Eastside business and chamber leaderships, principals in the transportation and technology sectors, the financial and medical fields, public utilities and environmentalists.

We were there because we are bound by one common goal: the progressive advancement of Bellevue and the greater Eastside to make it a great place to live, play, work and create. Together, we took a “Boots on the ground” approach to learn about what makes Austin one of the fastest growing and most competitive cities in the nation. We wanted to learn from Austin’s dynamic and innovative best practices, and to educate ourselves on how that diverse community handles the challenges that Austin and the

Well, I can’t answer for the rest of Texas, but I can tell you that the good folks in Austin get things done with an entrepreneurial “By the Bootstraps” spirit that is a progressive effort to innovate, create, invest and always be moving forward.

With a historic state capitol and university, a vibrant retail and technology zone and a hopping music and entertainment culture, downtown Austin continues to reshape itself through a collaboration of the Downtown Austin Alliance, the city of Austin, the Austin Chamber of Commerce and multiple developers and private, public and nonprofit groups — all partnering toward the work in progress that is

Marijuana

Cities, counties rebel

T

here’s a growing rebellion against the state’s newest industry. Elected leaders of at least 41 cities and three counties have enacted prohibitions against wholesale and retail cannabis operations.

Another 80 cities or so have moratoriums in place to bar wannabe entrepreneurs from setting up shop in the foreseeable future, based on news accounts and a tally kept by the Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington.

That means roughly 40 percent of Washington’s 281 cities are saying “no” or “not yet” to the cannabis industry that was created by voters two years ago with the passage of Initiative 502.

There’s no move afoot to repeal that law, but it’s evident that while plenty of JERRY Washington residents now shudder at CORNFIELD the thought of it transacting anywhere near them.

“It is a huge struggle,” said Dominic Corva, executive director of The Center for the Study of Cannabis and Social Policy in Seattle, a think tank which promotes a cannabis industry through research and action.

“What’s going on here, I think, is when people voted for it they had no knowledge of how cannabis agriculture works. It’s like an angry rebellion in residential areas.”

The causes of the spreading insurgency vary.

In some cities, council members were worried too many pot sellers would open and eventually become a burden on police resources. In others, there’s frustration that the law doesn’t give cities a share of marijuana taxes, and until that changes they aren’t willing to allow it.

Supporters appear to be caught off guard by what amounts to the need to conduct a campaign on the costs and benefits of cannabis in communities throughout Washington.

Individuals, some wishing to get into the business, do make their case in council chambers, but their voices are drowned out by opponents.

Corva said a better organized response is needed to counter the rebels if the fledgling industry is to get the chance to prove itself beyond the borders of the 90 cities where it is allowed.

“We’ve got to reorient our sense of how to deal with this,” he said. “We weren’t thinking about it that way.”

I-594 just about more taxes

Is there any reason to vote for Initiative 594? Nope. It's not about gun safety or even supervision. It is about control, registration and taxation, lots of taxation. Of course this only applies to the law-abiding. Criminals, being criminals, won't adhere to the law anyway, Let's suppose that a grandfather is at a gun range with his grandson and he gives him a firearm to try. He's just committed a felony. The backers say," Oh that isn't the 'intent' of the law and would never happen." Wanna bet?

There is no exception to this proposed law. Not people in law enforcement and not Concealed Weapon Permit holders.

Why? Taxes. They want to tax every transaction. Probably equating it to a "sin tax."

If the state of Washington would enforce existing laws, the violent crime rate would certainly decrease, i.e. felon in possession of a firearm. Too often this is plea-bargained out of a case. Better yet, if the major cities would adopt a "stop and frisk" law, crime would drop precipitously. New York adopted this law and the crime rate went way down. Conversely, Chicago (which doesn't have a "stop and frisk" law) has the most stringent gun laws in the country......and it has the highest crime rate and murder rate in the country.

Going after law-abiding citizens is not the answer. When asked what they liked about the law one of the backers replied, "It's a good start." A good start toward the backer's ultimate goal total confiscation of all firearms.

Bike lane on 116th benefits everyone

I was very disappointed to hear of Bellevue Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace’s opposition to bicycle lanes on 116th Avenue Northeast in "City staff propose cutting lane on 116th for bikes.”

As the city of Bellevue's own traffic data shows, the current traffic volumes on 116th do not justify two northbound travel lanes. Automobile volumes are the same in the southbound and northbound directions and one travel lane in each direction more than meets the needs of that volume.

Adding bicycle lanes would actually improve automobile

traffic flow. To understand this all you need to do is go out there during any commute time and watch what happens when one person on a bicycle comes through. Since there is no space allocated for bicycles, the bicycler "takes the lane" (position themselves in the middle of lane) since this is both allowed by law and the only safe way to ride and avoid getting clipped by cars trying to pass in the lane if you stay too far to the right.

This means that all traffic in the curb lane needs to change lanes to get around the bicycler, which slows down traffic across the board and backs things up when the automobile volume is heavy. Now multiply this impact by the hundreds of cyclists that travel this key connection between the 520 MultiUse Trail, downtown Bellevue employers/shopping/dining and the I-90 Bicycle Trail.

This Kirkland resident and his family, who live in the Bridle Trails area and is a mere two miles from downtown Bellevue, almost never go into Bellevue to spend our money because Bellevue is largely inaccessible by bicycle. Similarly, many people who would commute by bike along this road, drive instead and cause traffic backups elsewhere in Bellevue.

This project benefits everyone, is very very cheap and should be built.

preserving and enhancing downtown’s value and vitality. With all that energy, no wonder Austin is such a great tourism and convention venue. And it is not just downtown. With forward thinking land use development, other underutilized or decaying nearby areas are being repurposed as Alliance Innovation Zones that focus on the technology, health and creative arts sectors while centering these zones around a renewed creek and park district. In Austin, they are building it, and business is coming.

Some of my main takeaways from the trip are: Find our niche. Before all their innovation and progress, Austin’s city leaders have figured out their main strengths and assets. They ascertained what Austin has that no other city in the region or the country can offer. Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Issaquah/Sammamish and the burgeoning Snoqualmie Valley need to continually ask themselves the same questions: What are our unique strengths? Individually, and as a vital part of an increasingly interrelated East King County micro-region?

Quality of life. Each Eastside city continually needs to ask, ‘What are our needs and priorities? What do we truly value and what do we want to focus on? Business? Retail? Shopping? Technology? Music, theater and arts? Food and dining?

Parks and green spaces? To compete for jobs and business, every facet of our cities must strategize towardsways that are supporting the culture, livability and affordability of our downtown corridors and our neighborhood and residential clusters. And that includes transportation and light rail.

The Power of Proximity. The modern work force is motivated to succeed, and needs to work, play and live in close proximity. This collective synergy generates ideas, creative innovation and jobs. To meet that need, successful cities like Austin strive to be urban, pedestrian, integrated, diverse and adaptable.

Integration: To succeed in a competitive global marketplace, our Eastside cities must not only communicate, collaborate and work together, but also brand and market together. Even if one nearby city has something to strategically

offer and another city does not, we all still win. When a new business sets up in Redmond, nearby cities, such as Bellevue, Kirkland and Issaquah, benefit. And vice-versa. “A rising tide floats all boats.”

Recruitment: Always outward looking, Austin is on fire with tech jobs. Other business sectors quickly follow. Part of that success is that Austin has an aggressive local, regional and national effort to recruit new business in the retail, technology and arts categories. That means business is moving from other regions in the U.S. to Austin. The Eastside needs to enact a cohesive business recruitment and retention effort before some of our business partners start buying cowboy boots and looking south.

Time well spent: I was truly impressed and energized

by Austin’s example of taking destiny in its own hands, and I know my study group companions were as well. Here at home, we need to take Austin’s energy and ideas and put them to use here on the Eastside.

Thanks to the hard-working Bellevue Downtown Association board and staff for making this beneficial trip happen.

Senn supports business, education

As a small business owner in Bellevue, I think it is important to speak up when we recognize a lawmaker who supports our local businesses.

Rep. Senn stands up for small business. She introduced a bill in the Legislature to help small businesses by reducing the B&O filing tax threshold, she promotes “shop local” programs, and her family has started several small businesses of their own.

I also appreciate Tana’s community-mindedness. She is everywhere. Personally, I have seen her at the Bellevue Police Foundation breakfast, at the Bellevue Rotary lunch (and as the prime sponsor of state funding) for Inspiration Playground, and at numerous Jewish organizations with which I am also involved.

Education is one of the state’s biggest issues. She has two kids in public school, and so is actively aware of the importance and challenges involved in public education. In the short time she has served, Rep. Senn has already passed bipartisan legislation to increase access to quality early learning services.

I am voting for Tana Senn and I encourage other voters to join me. She is the kind of person we need in Olympia.

Bellevue Schools Foundation’s Board of Trustees recently announced the appointment of nine new members, bringing the total to 32.

“It is so encouraging to see people invest themselves with such enthusiasm and commitment to assuring every one of Bellevue’s students has the best-possible public education,” said Executive Director Roxanne Kröon Shepherd.

Trustees are volunteers and serve three-year terms, up to a total of nine years. The new trustees began their service in September.

“This new group of trustees joins veterans who set the bar high for personal involvement in our work,” Shepherd said. “And today’s volunteer leaders carry on traditions of thoughtful stewardship and unerring focus on making meaningful impacts on students’ opportunities to build positive and productive lives. We are enormously grateful for 35 years of exceptional volunteer leadership.”

Newly appointed trustees include: Tobey Bryant: Community leader, most recently chairing the successful Bellevue School District bond and levy campaign. Parent at Medina Elementary, Chinook Middle School, and Bellevue High School.

Deb Grover: Founder and owner of Bellysock, PTSA leader, and parent at Eastgate Elementary and Spiritridge Elementary.

Online search and advertising giant Google named Bellevue this year’s eCity for Washington on Thursday, recognizing the city’s business sector as a leader in ecommerce for the state.

This is the second year Google has issued the awards, with Bainbridge Island taking the honor in 2013 for Washington. eCities are selected based on a number of factors related to growing the digital economy.

Google states companies with an online presence are expected to grow 40 percent faster than those that don’t.

“Obviously communities, cities and states where businesses embrace the power of the web are going to be more economically robust, and we wanted to celebrate that fact,” said Darcy Nothnagle, public affairs and government relations manager for Google’s western

region. “… It’s really all about celebrating the digital capital of America.”

The number of cities researched by Google to make its determination for awards starts with its own advertising service, AdWords. Google takes the population of each city and divides it by the number of AdWords clients there to whittle candidates to a more manageable number, said Nothnagle. A second study of the remaining cities is then conducted without including AdWords data.

The independent research firm IPSOS worked with Google to analyze the online strength of small businesses in cities in all 50 states.

“What’s very interesting is there are very few repeat winners this year from last year,” she said.

It’s not just big businesses that catapult a city to the top in its state, but the totality of SEE ECITY, 9

“There’s such a low barrier to get online for small businesses that you’re going to see a change year after year,” she said.

Google cites Bellevue’s Joseph Jewelry as an example, operating in the city since 1996. Due to its expansion online, it is now one of the top jewelers in the area, according to Google.

“We’re gratified that our efforts to leverage technology to deliver better service

to residents and businesses are getting noticed,” said Bellevue Chief Information Officer Toni Cramer. “The city’s economic development strategy supports increasing convenience for the tech-savvy population we serve through solutions such as paperless permitting, a regional park search portal and the MyBellevue mobile app. Our residents and businesses want this type of service from their city, and we’re happy to deliver it.”

Along with the recognition, the city of Bellevue will receive a trophy from Google identifying it as the 2014 eCity for Washington.

The photos will be put on permanent display at the Education Center to be built near the memorial.

Three of those listed still missing are from Bellevue: William M. Adair, 1945-1970; William L. Dazey Jr., 1946-1968; and David R. Devik, 1948-1968.

Bellevue named best place to live

Bellevue has been ranked first on a list of best places to live in the Northwest, compiled by the Movoto Real Estate Blog.

Movoto compiled a list of cities in the region with populations greater than 30,000, then compared data on amenities per capita (entertainment and other services), quality of life (a product of cost of living, home and rent prices, income and student-to-teacher ratios), total crimes, tax rates, unemployment, commute time and weather.

On the list, Issaquah was praised for its high number of entertainment and service options, it’s median household income of $84,001 and it’s pricey home and rent values.

The Eastside region made a strong showing overall, with Issaquah coming in at No. 3 on the list, Kirkland at No. 5 and Redmond at No. 6.

Social justice leader to speak at BC

Lydia Brown, a noted Georgetown University social justice activist, will speak at Bellevue College from 1:30-3 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 30 in the college’s College Carlson Theatre.

Brown’s presentation, “Beyond the imagined normal: disability, pride and culture,” will highlight how disability pride is possible in a social model of disability, as opposed to the medical model that most people in the U.S. grow up learning; what disability pride looks like in a society that doesn’t talk about disability the way it does other identities like race, ethnicity and gender; the concept of what is and isn’t ‘normal’ and who gets to create that concept.

The event is free and open to the public. Bellevue College is located at 3000 Landerholm Circle S.E.

Two Bellevue Boy Scouts win photo contest For decades the lush greenery, lakes and mountainous vistas of the Olympics have been captured inside the viewfinder of millions of cameras.

As one of the most photographed and areas in the Pacific Northwest and sites of one of the oldest Boy Scouts in the United States, the Olympic National Forest and Friends of L. Ron Hubbard held a photo contest to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, which preserved 9.1 million acres of federal land as wilderness.

Competitors were allowed to submit up to three digital photographs within the five wilderness areas in the Olympic National Forest: Buckhorn Wilderness; Colonel Bob Wilderness; Mount Skokomish Wilderness; the Brothers Wilderness; and Wonder Mountain Wilderness for the "Camp Parsons Wilderness 50 Photo Contest."

CELEBRATE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Research Volunteers Wanted . . .

Do you currently use Clarisonic products?

Take charge of your breast health

Would you like to use Clarisonic products?

We are looking for volunteers between the ages of 18 and 70 to participate in Clinical Studies evaluating Clarisonic products.

By Elisa Del Rosario Every week, over 100 women in Washington state are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. This makes Washington state one of the highest in breast cancer diagnosis in the country.

While we do not yet know all the causes of breast cancer, there is one thing we do know. You can reduce your risk by taking charge of your breast health and practicing everyday strategies for reducing your risk for breast cancer.

We really are what we eat, drink, breathe and think. Here are some of the best strategies for breast cancer prevention.

First, live a healthy lifestyle. This means maintaining a healthy weight, minimizing alcohol intake (one drink a day or less), quit smoking and keep physically active. That means exercise moderately at least 30 minutes a day.

Eat well. Include in your diet at least 2 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables every day. Choose 100 percent whole grain foods (such as 100 percent whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice, millet and quinoa).

Limit red meat and processed meat.

Choose chicken, fish or beans more often. Limit “bad” fats found in foods such as red meat, fatty deli meats, poultry skin, full fat dairy, fried foods, margarine, donuts and microwave popcorn. Eat “good” fats found in foods such as olive and canola oil, nuts and natural nut butters, avocado and olives.

If you are interested please contact us: Web: https://consumertesting. lorealusa.com/clarisonic/ Survey4.asp If you qualify, you will be compensated for your participation in completed studies

Bellevue Women’s Imaging

If you are over 40 years old, get a mammogram. Do not let fear of discomfort or results cause you to avoid potentially lifesaving early detection of breast cancer. When caught in its early stages, you can have a 98 percent chance of surviving breast cancer. However, if caught in late stage, you chances for survival can drop to 24 percent.

If you are postmenopausal, avoid hormone replacement therapy.

Menopausal hormone therapy increases risk for breast cancer, particularly therapies that include progesterone.

If you are a young woman, breast feed your baby for as long as possible.

For every 12 months of breastfeeding, the risk of breast cancer can decrease by 4.3 percent, compared to women who did not breastfeed.

Previous studies have shown that psychological stress is linked to breast cancer aggressiveness. Anything you can do to reduce your stress and to enhance your comfort, joy, and satisfaction can strengthen your immune system and have a major effect on your quality of life.

Today, there are over 3 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S., and I have been one of them for eight years now. The best advice I can give is to take charge of your breast health.

Bellevue Arts Museum unveils 3 new shows

BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

For the first time appears to be a running theme this season at the Bellevue Arts Museum as it opens three new exhibits this month.

Whether it’s Northwest artist Jason Walker’s first solo museum exhibition, “On the River, Down the Road,” featuring his three-dimensional blend of nature, industrialism, or the first American viewing of Australian glassblower Nick Mount’s “The Fabric of Work” collection, or John Economaki’s woodworking tools, the museum’s second floor is a series of new revelations for visitors, according to Director of Art, Craft, and Design Stefano Catalani.

Having three shows all open across the museum’s second floor is a rare treat in itself, he said. But to have three new shows is extra special, especially because of the three vastly different

The Bellevue Arts Museum is hosting three new exhibits: Jason Walker’s first ever solo museum “On the River, Down the Road” (left); Nick Mount’s “The Frabric of Work” (top right being explained by Jennifer Navva Milliken); and John Economaki’s “Quality is Contagious” (bottom right). mediums, which somehow have universal connections to each other.

While Walker uses pipes, light bulbs and other

industrial widgets to create landscapes both natural and man-made, as well as animals intertwined in both worlds, Economaki

John Day Homes Has Plans for Your Land

has built his tools with various animals of the Pacific Northwest in mind.

Mount’s glass bob’s feature designs, textures, and concepts found in both Walker and Economaki’s art.

Although the decision to feature the three artists wasn’t done with commonality in mind, Catalani said the coincidences, themes, and connections create a “feeling for people to go ‘oh’ when they see the similarities.”

All three exhibits are now open to the public, and if

the current trend continues, Catalani said the museum’s attendance record of 63,000 set last year, will surely be broken.

“It’ll be a really rich fall for us and the visitors with these three here,” Catalani said.

It’s no coincidence that as visitors walk up the main staircase the first thing they see is a quote from Economaki about his work.

“Quality is contagious,” he writes. “Nothing is more important to a woodworker than his tools. If you owned

a tool chest full of wellcrafted tools, how could you possibly justify doing shoddy work? You dishonor your tools, you dishonor yourself.”

Economaki’s quote is applicable to all three artist’s work, said Jennifer Navva Milliken, curator of craft, who joined the museum in June.

Nick Mount’s exibit features 67 pieces of blown glass.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m., to 6 p.m. Tickets range from $5 for teenagers, $8 for seniors, students, or those in the military, to $10 for adults or $25 for families.

Abbey essence in threedimensional art, Walker’s pieces ask questions of the U.S. food industry, industrial expanse, and corporations, while allowing viewers to make up their own minds as how to handle the future.

Robert Dugoni’s newest legal thriller, “My Sister’s Grave,” is already shaping up to be another New York Times bestseller for the author. It’s already climbing up Amazon’s ebook sales chart reaching the top spot before its official release Nov 1. It also has critics raving.

Twenty years ago, Tracy Crosswhite’s younger sister, Sarah, disappeared on her way home to the small town of Cedar Grove. A young ex-con, Edmund House, was quickly tried and convicted for Sarah’s murder. The local sheriff ’s department never found the body, a fact that’s haunted Tracy and led her to quitting her job as a chemistry teacher and becoming a police officer to conduct her own investigation over the course of two decades.

After nearly two decades conducting her own investigation Sarah’s remains are uncovered from a newlyexposed lake bed, calling into question all the evidence used against House.

mother — who never let he or his five brothers be bored.

If any of them dared uttered the words “I’m bored” they soon found themselves with a book in their hand. After cruising through various classics including “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “The Lord of the Flies,” and “Of Mice and Men,” Dugoni was hooked and boredom seldom reared its head again.

At age 13 decided he wanted to be a novelist, but as it so often happens his professional career led him down a different path and his dream of writing was set aside. Twenty years later, as a successful lawyer in California, Dugoni woke one morning and realized he’d ignored his dream, his passion, for far too long.

“I couldn’t not pursue what I wanted to do anymore, so I talked to my wife and she said, ‘Then don’t’ and that was that,” he said.

The couple moved with their children to his wife’s hometown of Bellevue and Dugoni started his new writing career.

Five bestsellers later, Dugoni said the choice was one of the best he’s ever made.

Using his knowledge of law and his prior experience as a reporter at the Los Angeles Times, Dugoni carved out an award-winning career, often being compared to literary giants John Grisham and Scott Turow.

For Dugoni, the greatest compliment he gets is from readers who simply couldn’t put down his work. One reader told Dugoni she was “haunted” by Tracy, asking “is Tracy really going to be OK?” Dugoni is working on a sequel to “My Sister’s Grave,” in between tour stops to promote the book, and a short story “The Academy” a quasi prequel is available for free online, he said.

Dugoni is scheduled to appear for book signings at Kirkland Park Place Books on Nov. 5, Third Place Books on Nov. 6, and University Bookstore on Nov. 12.

pieces spanning just part of his vast catalogue of work.

Flanking Mount’s glass garden, Economaki’s exhibit tells the story of the Portland toolmaker’s history, passion and dedication to precision and excellence, while Walker’s work challenges viewers perception of nature versus man-made.

“Usually in my sculptures I tend to juxtapose an ‘urban’ scene on one side with a ‘wild’ scene on the other side,” Walker told Catalani. “So I thought what if I expand this approach to the whole room?

I can have a predominately urban scene on one side of the gallery, juxtaposed to a mostly wild scene on the opposite wall while the rest of the sculptures converge towards the middle where they become this melting pot for these two domains.”

turns, Dugoni said what he really wanted to create, was a story about relationships and the strain losing a loved one can have, not just one those closest to the victim, but the entire community.

“When someone is killed the person who dies isn’t the only victim,” Dugoni said.

“It’s the family, it’s the community who suffers. When you lose a family member or loved one to a violent crime you never truly get justice.”

Throughout the book, Dugoni said he wanted to reiterate that fact, writing in flashback scenes to when Sarah and Tracy were just 8 and 12-years-old, and to when they were nearly adults and the events leading up to Sarah’s disappearance.

For many male authors, writing one female lead, let alone two, can get lost as the writer creates a fantastical version instead of a simple one, stopping some readers in their tracks. Dugoni said he hopes he was able to avoid the pitfall by focusing on the characters, not their genders.

“I didn’t try to be a woman, I just played it straight,” he said. “I tried to be a character that simply lost someone they loved. It’s a universal emotion.”

Dugoni said he benefited from growing up with some excellent female role models — his four sisters and a

Roberts to block for UW in ‘15

BY SHAUN SCOTT

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Wolverines stalwart offensive lineman Henry Roberts loves plowing open gaping holes for his running backs.

Roberts, who committed to the University of Washington in September, throughly enjoys seeing his teammates succeed.

“It’s the best feeling when they (running backs) run past you and you know they are going to score,” Roberts said.

Roberts said the offense is in sync, possessing a tight-knit unbreakable bond.

“I would say my best friends on the team are on the offensive line. My second best friends are the quarterback, running backs and receivers. We’re all pretty tight,” Roberts said with a smile.

The Wolverines are completely focused on winning its seventh consecutive Class 3A state football championship this December at the Tacoma Dome.

“We have got the best coaching staff in the nation. They hold us to high standards. They ride us and they make us better every day,” Roberts said.

“The level of respect we have for each

Roberts’ decision to attend the University of Washington beginning in fall of 2015 was an easy choice football-wise and family-wise. Roberts said his beloved uncle Brett succumbed to cancer just six months ago.

Losing his uncle is something Roberts said he thinks about on a daily basis and played a role in his decision to play college football close to home.

“My uncle died and that made me think about how important family is to me. He hurt his back and he went SHAUN SCOTT, Bellevue Reporter in to the doctor to get an MRI done.

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.

Wolverines’ defense delivers

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Big plays on defense propelled the Bellevue Wolverines football team to its 60th straight victory.

Bellevue plucked four interceptions en route to a 38-6 victory against the Juanita Rebels on Oct. 10 in Bellevue.

Wolverines’ linebacker Mustafa Branch had a team-high two interceptions; including a 39-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Wolverines’ defensive back Jack Michael had a 59-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Left cornerback Isaiah Gilchrist had an interception in the first half as well.

Branch, who has already committed to playing college football for the Stanford University Cardinal, said his team was prepared for the Rebels.

“We had a good week of practice. Everybody has been flying around catching picks and making plays. That’s what we saw tonight,” Branch said.

The turnovers created on defense offset a night where the Wolverines made some uncharacteristic mistakes.

The Wolverines had 10 penalties in the first half much to chagrin of Wolverines’ head coach Butch Goncharoff.

“We’re struggling on offense and we’re struggling with penalties again.

If we keep giving things away it’s going to get us at some point, but we’re still surviving today so we’ll take it. Every single game we just got to get more disciplined. Its back to the drawing board,” Goncharoff said. “Our defense is solid and they kind of carried the deal today.”

Even though Bellevue held a slim 10-0 lead with 8:38 left in the second quarter, they never had any doubt they would get on track.

“You just got to keep pushing and

keep playing,” Branch said.

Wolverines defensive back Christoph Hirota agreed with Branch’s sentiment.

“We knew the last couple of weeks we’ve had some slow starts. We just kept believing in ourselves. I’m glad we got the win,” Hirota said.

Bellevue senior running back Yofiel Wyle had two rushing touchdowns and Jack Sampson scored on a 2-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.

“Yofiel Wyle has probably been our MVP (most valuable player) of the year so far. He’s a tough kid who has stepped in and played really well. We’re happy about that,” Goncharoff said.

The Wolverines (6-0) will face the Liberty Patriots at 7 p.m. Oct. 17 in Renton.

“We’re going to have to fix up the little things. We will get in the film room, study up and get ready for the next team up,” Hirota said.

GRADUATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

According to Harrison the vast majority of Bellevue School District students graduate high school with far more credits than 24, averaging 30 or more credits, and 93 percent of them with more than four years of high school equivalent math.

"The state finally realized after 15 years that 'holy smokes' what Bellevue is doing works and they're finally catching up to us," Harrison told the crowd of 30 parents and students during the first listening session, which was held at Tillicum Middle School on Tuesday.

Three additional forums were held at area middle schools for middle school parents to learn what their children may have to face.

graduation requirement beginning this year, the Bellevue School District culminating project, which includes writing an essay in the student's junior year English class, and "Project Citizen" in their senior year will remain as its part of the curriculum, Harrison said.

Tillicum eighth-grader Sarah Shank, 13, who attended the meeting with her mother Lisa, said she wasn't concerned about the proposed changes.

"I really didn't know any of the graduation requirements before so it's not like they're changing for me," Shank said. "I don't think I'll have a problem meeting them."

Shank's mother said she agreed with the board's proposed changes and her daughter's analysis, that the vast majority of students on track for the class of 2019 won't have a problem meeting any of the new requirements.

Her only criticism, along with

she joined the council in 2004. Chelminiak said he estimates working about 20 hours a week on city business, adding the position of councilmember requires a major time commitment.

"The last thing we need is a full-time council, but I think the pay that goes to a councilmember should be considered a stipend," said

several other parents in attendance, was any additional increase to the minimum credit threshold, which could greatly limit students opportunities to take additional electives such as music, theater, or art.

Harrison said there's been no discussion about increasing the minimum credit requirement beyond the 24 being set by the state.

Final recommendations to the committee are due by Oct. 22. Once compiled, the group will present their findings and suggestion to the school board during the Nov. 4, meeting.

A second reading of the proposed changes following the board's considerations is scheduled for the Nov. 18 meeting.

The mayor and a number of councilmembers have said they favor the formation of an independent salary commission to determine the appropriate compensation for elected officials. This would allow salaries to be adjusted for current elected officials.

If the council voted to in-

crease salaries, those would not take effect until the next election cycle for each position.

"The reason you want to run is not to make money," Chelminiak said. "The reason you want to run is to help the community."

small to quickly address the growing demand for service across a three-county area. It also takes in more than 3,000 animals each year from shelters and animal groups taking advantage of SHS's Life-Saver Rescue Program.

"It really does become a kind of choke point," Loewe said of admissions to the medical center.

The humane society proposes to raze its main building, keeping its separate kennels and adoption center open while the new 54,000-square-foot facility is constructed. Once complete, the kennels and adoption center would be moved into the new facility.

By doubling its square

footage, the humane society expects to increase animal admissions capacity by 35 percent. SHS has a goal of adopting out 10,000 animals per year once the new facility is constructed. The new facility will also allow the humane society to add to the number of Washington State University veterinarian students that can work elective rotations there, Loewe said.

Expansion of the Eastside facility will also allow the society to add more education programs to its services.

The humane society is in a soft fundraising phase as it awaits environmental clearance from the city to begin looking at designs for the facility. Loewe said an architecture team is working with the humane society's board to gather ideas.

DelBene, Celis debate Ebola, ISIS, immigration in Redmond In their final debate Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene and Republican challenger Pedro Celis didn’t break any new ground or exchange withering verbal punches.

They did highlight their differences on issues ranging from the U.S. response to the Ebola outbreak and the ISIS threat to immigration reform, the minimum wage and a state initiative for universal background checks of gun-buyers.

The hour-long debate, in the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, was a coming home of sorts for the candidates, who are both former Microsoft employees.

A crowd of about 150 people watched the event, which was hosted by Seattle City Club and was to be televised Wednesday night on KCTS-TV. DelBene is seeking a second term representing the 1st Congressional District, which stretches from Medina and the Points Communities to the Canadian border.

The 52-year-old Medina resident, who is a former midlevel Microsoft executive, said she deserves another term because she’s fulfilled her pledge to seek bipartisan solutions to problems.

She cited collaboration with Republicans on a farm bill — “the best farm bill we’ve ever had for Washington farmers.” She also pointed to legislation to rein in the domestic surveillance program of the National Security Administration and the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, which is important to Boeing.

Across the Bellevue School District, 21 percent of students are enrolled in the federal free and reduced-price lunch program. At Lake Hills Elementary, a 67 percent of students participate. During the 2013-2014 school year, Breaktime-Mealtime provided over 80,000 meals and 60,000 snacks to kids during school breaks, ensuring they returned to school well fed and ready to learn.

Celis said he didn’t feel the problem was being “addressed properly.” Afterward, he elaborated, saying he thinks the U.S. is “taking risks that are unnecessary,” such as allowing flights into the country from West Africa.

On the threat of ISIS, Celis said the president should not have ruled out the use of ground troops. Celis didn’t endorse sending troops now, but said the president has eliminated the option, and ground troops might be needed.

“I think he needs to decide if he wants to win the war or not,” Celis said.

DelBene voted to support Obama’s plan to train moderate Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. The president should not send U.S. troops until Congress has a “full debate” on the matter, she said.

On the hot-button issue of immigration reform, DelBene reiterated her support of a House bill to improve border security and provide a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants already in the country. That bill did not get voted on in the Republican-controlled chamber.

Celis reiterated his call for policies that open the doors wider to legal immigrants but maintain “high fences” to keep out those who would enter illegally.

Celis, 55, of Redmond, a former technical officer with Microsoft, countered that the country under the leadership of President Barack Obama is “going in the wrong diSUZAN PEDRO DELBENE CELIS rection.” Voters should elect him to ensure a better “check and balance” than the incumbent.

A native of Mexico, Celis spoke of how he and his wife have become citizens and lived the “American dream.” His campaign is about ensuring others can too, Celis said.

“I am not running for Congress to be somebody,” he said. “I am running to serve.”

One of the first questions for the candidates regarded the U.S. health care system and whether it can be trusted or if the federal government should do more in its response to the Ebola crisis.

DelBene avoided criticizing the federal response but said “there’s more we can do.” For example, she said, Congress could approve additional resources for federal agencies and health care providers.

Dry & CustomSplit Alder, Maple & Douglas Fir Speedy Delivery & Best Prices!

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.

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.

We must upgrade the grid to power our growing economy

Make sure Eastside growth doesn’t outstrip our energy capacity

The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washington. Yet, demand for reliable electricity will exceed capacity in the near future. We need a plan to meet this challenge now.

Conservation alone won’t do it — we need substantial electric infrastructure upgrades. That’s why PSE is working with Eastside communities on a safe, reliable solution to make sure your lights keep glowing and businesses keep humming for decades to come.
