Jubilee Reach’s first Festival of Trees auction raised $845,000 in funding for youth programs on Saturday, Nov. 15, with 825 business and community leaders in attendance. Eric Eun, director of operations at Jubilee, said 2,500 students participate in the nonprofit’s youth programs, which cost around $750,000 annually. Eun said the auction results “just blew us away,” and will aid Jubilee Reach in adding STEM programs to its offerings.

City says none of its candidates get the job; process to start over BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Minneapolis Assistant Police Chief Matt Clark says he was up for the job as Bellevue’s next police chief, but withdrew himself from

consideration for family and personal reason earlier this month. City Manager Brad Miyake informed city employees by email Monday that none of the five candidates flown in to meet the community and Bellevue officials last month were determined right for the job.

With the clock running out for the city to lock down its 2015-16 budget, Bellevue Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace on Monday provided a revised financial plan that would allow the council once again to avoid a property tax increase. While councilmembers are hopeful, development company Wright Runstad is livid. Wallace provided the council with his revised budget plan, which proposes to do away with City Manager Brad Miyake’s budgeted 5-percent property tax increase and $85 million in longterm debt. SEE BUDGET, 18

Following former Police Chief Linda Pillo’s retirement in April, the city started a nationwide search for a replacement, bringing former Chief Jim Montgomery out of retirement to fill the position in the interim. Two public comment sessions were held ahead of the selection of five finalists, however, fewer than 10 people attended. The five candidates met with city employees, councilmembers, community leaders and the public the next two days. SEE CHIEF, 20

A lentil loaf can be just as tasty, a little bit unique, and doesn’t leave people feeling as full and heavy as the traditional meals.

Recipe for healthier holidays Making nutritional choices can be easier, tastier than you think

H

olidays are such a great time of year, a chance to get together with friends and families and celebrate everything we’re thankful for. Sometimes it’s easy to get a bit too carried away with all the holiday foods and treats, so I thought I would provide some ideas of healthier options for your holiday meals. I love dinner parties, and one of my favorite things to do is create a menu based on whole, plant-based foods that are just as tasty, a little bit unique, and don’t JAMI leave people feeling as SCOTT full and heavy as the traditional meals. Plus, you may have some folks who are on alternative diets, like vegan or vegetarian, so it’s great to have options for them. These recipes will be sure to impress any of your guests and get them thinking about how tasty it is to make a few healthier choices during this holiday season.

Celebration Lentil Loaf 1 cup brown lentils, picked over and rinsed 3/4 cup bulgur wheat 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1 large onion, chopped 2/3 cup apple cider (non-alcoholic) 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats 1 red bell pepper, finely diced 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Put lentils in a small saucepan with 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer until lentils are very tender, about 40 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Put bulgur in a small saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Set aside. In a medium skillet, combine mushrooms, onion, cider, poultry seasoning and salt. Cover and simmer over medium heat until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Scrape into a bowl and fold in lentils, bulgur, oats, bell pepper and parsley. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line the bottom and sides of an 8- or 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Pack lentil mixture firmly into pan and smooth the top. Bake until edges brown slightly, about 1 hour. Cool in pan 25 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate. Remove parchment paper and let the loaf cool a few more minutes. Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 1-inchthick slices. Serve this recipe with vegan mushroom gravy (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipe/vegan-mushroom-gravy) and your favorite vegetable sides for an absolutely delicious, healthy holiday!

Winter shelters open in Bellevue

The city of Bellevue has opened its Eastside Winter Shelter for homeless men at the International Paper. The shelter serves men from throughout the Eastside. Catholic Community Services also has opened its women's shelter at the St. Peter's United Methodist Church in Bellevue that same day through January, when it moves to the Redmond United Methodist Church. The men's shelter is expected to provide shelter through March. The International Paper site is at 1899 120th Ave. N.E., and homeless men will be able to use the site from 8 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. The shelters are also seeking community donations to provide meals. More information about the meal program can be found at www.tinyurl.com/lt7dg9r. For more information about the Eastside winter shelters, contact Congregations for the Homeless at 425-372-7252 or dwightj@cfhomeless.org; or Catholic Community Services at 206-437-7448 or eileenm@ccsw.org.

New pedestrian signals coming for 148th, Bel-Red, Overlake areas

The city began work Monday to install new and improved pedestrian signals at 43 intersections along 148th Avenue Northeast and in the Bel-Red and Overlake areas of Bellevue. Through two federal City Safety Program grants, the city will install pedestrian countdown signals and push buttons that comply with ADA standards. In 2015, the city plans to upgrade 29 of these intersection with adaptive traffic signals as part of its finalization of the six-year, $4.5 million Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System project. Work on intersection pedestrian signals will continue from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with minor traffic impacts, and should be completed by early 2015. For more information, contact Kyle Potuzak, project manager, at 425-452-2027 or kpotuzak@bellevuewa.gov, or Clint Nelsen, construction inspector, at 425-452-6960 or cnelson@bellevuewa.gov.

The total amount to be paid to PSE customers will be $59.2 million, which includes interest that has accrued. PSE provides electricity to more than 1.1 million customers in eight counties: Island, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Thurston, and Whatcom. Every current PSE electric customer, residential and business, will receive the credit and customers will not need to request the credit; it will automatically appear on their billing statements. Because of varying billing cycles, most customers will see a portion of the credit on their December statement, and the remainder on their January bill. The credits will be based on electricity used during the month of December.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Screaming babies and other good things

I

’ve discovered that I like screaming babies. I’ve got to be kidding, right? But, no. Over a two-week “staycation,” I got to join my wife as she helped our next-door neighbor who has been juggling being a first-time mom while taking a full schedule of college classes. The mother has the baby most of the time as she nurses and bonds with the little girl. But when a paper is due or a test has to be taken, the now five-month-old infant often is at our house. The baby would get fussy, of course — being tired or having gas bubbled in the stomach will do that. But more often than not, when I picked her up, she would stop crying, stare into my eyes and listen as I softly talked or sang songs to her while walking around the living room. One day last week the mom called and in the background my wife and I could hear loud, and lots of, screaming. Apparently CRAIG it had been going on for some time. I was GROSHART sent next door to gather up the baby and bring her to our house to give the mom a break. The mother opened the front door and I could hear the screaming coming from the bedroom. “I can’t get her to stop,” she said as we went into the room. “I’ve tried everything.” I walked up to the baby, said “hi,” she looked at me — and stopped crying. I’m now officially “the baby whisperer.” I don’t think there’s any magic. More likely it’s that I don’t have the stress of being a mom/college student. It also could be that I’m making amends for my own time as an infant. Some time after both my parents had died, an aunt asked me if I ever had wondered why I was an only child. “Why,” I asked? “You were a colicky baby” my aunt said. “You cried constantly for six months.” I think I have a ways to go before I balance those scales.

Dems puzzled over I-594 effect Democrats are trying to sort out what went wrong in the election and why the presence of Initiative 594 on the ballot didn’t motivate more of their voters to turn out. Party leaders all along thought the popular measure requiring background checks be conducted on buyers of guns online and through private sales would spur some of those prone to skipping midterm elections to participate. They believed a small boost of pro-Democrat voters in just the right places could swing a close race and maybe JERRY upend a targeted ReCORNFIELD publican. It didn’t play out that way. Democrats lost seats in both chambers – sometimes in communities where the measure is passing handily. Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King County and four in the House, deposing three incumbent Democrats in the process. Those seats are in districts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap counties.

?

Question of the week: “Will you spend Thanksgiving with family or friends?”

Initiative 594 is passing in all those counties, except Mason, according to data assembled thus far by initiative supporters. Precinct-by-precinct details won’t be available until next month when election results are certified. “I don’t think it hurt us but I don’t think it helped us to the degree that we thought it would,” admitted Adam Bartz, executive director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee. One explanation is that in spite of polls detailing the measure’s popularity with voters, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative. Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively campaigned for it and went on to win with 54.5 percent. Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure as best they could. They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994 when the national gun rights group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban. The NRA flexed their muscle again three years later by helping upend a statewide gun control-related initiative. Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman SEE CORNFIELD, 8

Stringing up Bellevue

It is happening now. New Puget Sound Energy 100 foot poles and wires appearing on NE 24th and 156 Avenue Northeast and next, up to 80 foot poles along NE 8th and along 148th Avenue for a total of 2.5 miles. This route currently has all underground utilities. Nine miles of up to 135 foot poles is being proposed for PSE's new 230,000 Volt Transmission Line through Bellevue neighborhoods. See CENSE.org (Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy) for details. What can we do? Convince the city council to advocate now for a different 2035 Vision and find a path to new technology including the increased reliability of undergrounding. Other areas of the country are finding affordable means to accomplish this now. A national survey by Costco recently resulted in 82 percent in favor of requiring utilities to bury power lines. New methods of undergrounding insert lines in a plastic tube to facilitate maintenance. Why is this difficult? Existing Washington State Laws have tariffs that present huge economic barriers. Currently, prop-

erty owners along the line must pay for all undergrounding even though it can benefit many others.

Neighborhood pleading for sidewalks, bike lanes

A heavily used .9-mile section of Newport Way Southeast from Southeast Allen Road to 150th Ave SE lacks sidewalks and bike lanes. Car traffic volumes average 7,000 cars a day. Newport Way Library and South Bellevue Community Center as well as Aldersgate United Methodist Church and Children’s Preschool are located along this stretch. Yet, there is no safe way to walk or bicycle to these facilities or to nearby schools. The existing shoulder shrinks to 18 inches in some places. Two years ago this area of was annexed into Bellevue and the City of Bellevue recognized the need for sidewalks and bike lanes, but there has been no funding of this project. Concerned residents organized early this year to lobby for high priority for this project in the 2015-2022 Capital Investment Project. We created a dynamic website, www.newportwaysidewalk.org, detailing our activities, our concerns and our endorsements for the project. We have testified regularly at Transportation Commission meetings and at Bellevue City Council meetings with our supporters sporting our signature fluorescent green shirts.

When an iPhone goes missing a vacation can seem lost

W

hy stay any longer in Haarlem, Netherlands, we asked? Everything we want to see is closed on Mondays. On our walk to the railway station, I reach in my purse for my cell phone. Where’s my phone? We run back to the store where I have just purchased a scarf. “No phone here,” the clerk says.” We return to a pair of picnic tables in one of the town squares. I can picture setting my phone on top of one. “Sorry, but if you left it there, it’s gone,” says a waiter at a nearby restaurant. ANN We return to AmsterOXRIEDER dam where I write on Facebook: “Sad day. Lost my iPhone and my travel photos.” About the same time, my Mexican friend, Claudia, who had talked me into getting What’sApp for my phone, receives a note from me via this app: “Hi.” Since she and I often communicate in Spanish, she sends me an audio message in that language and asks when did I returned home. She gets another response: “Hi.” “Only ‘Hi’?” she asks. “I found this foon. I am living in Hoofddorp, Netherlands.” Realizing I’m not the one sending her messages, she tells the sender to contact me

on Facebook and posts details there of what she’s just learned. I start receiving Facebook messages in my iPad from myself. The man calls our hotel and leaves a message to meet him at the airport. We take the train there, but no passengers are at the gate where he said he’d be. When we arrive back at the hotel, we read a new Facebook post — that the real time to meet us is an hour later than he’s communicated. We leave Amsterdam the next morning. I check Facebook for messages. Nothing. When we arrive in Seattle, I find one message asking for our flight number and saying the man will meet us at the Schiphol airport — 14 hours too late. The man emails that he’s shipping my phone. He sends a photo of the envelope. I groan. It’s bound to arrive with a sticker that says “damaged in transit” and I will be staring at shards. Less than a week later, against all odds, the phone arrives. In one piece. In an ordinary envelope, tightly wrapped in half a paper towel. All thanks to the kindness and perseverance of one stranger, one friend (conscientious postal workers, too), and the wonders of social media. Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http://stillalife. wordpress.com/.

of the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994. Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly. “We didn’t energize our base enough and the other side did,” he said. “I just think we got caught in the wave.” Backers of Initiative 594 wonder if Democrats may revise their analysis when the final numbers are known for the election. While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing

on the strength of votes from Democrats, Republicans and independents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place. “We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign. “That’s a message candidates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said. And one that Democrats may wish they had paid more attention to in the election.

Shelter decisions irresponsible

Noticing more panhandlers and property crime in your residential Bellevue neighborhood? We all want to help the homeless population find shelter, but local homeless advocates are making irresponsible decisions, placing shelters in quiet residential communities when they should be in urban, transit-friendly locations near the agencies that provide homeless services. The winter shelter last year in residential Lochmoor was a case in point. People from far outside of Bellevue were attracted to it, drinking and loitering in the evening on their way through the neighborhood to the shelter. Its homeless tenants burglar-

ized numerous homes and harassed residents waiting for school and city buses on the sidewalks nearby. The Crossroads mall area businesses reported significant spikes in crime. Organizers from the city, CCS, and the church all agreed that this kind of residential location was a poor place for a shelter for homeless people who often have addiction issues, but this year new management ignored the neighborhood concerns and will house a winter shelter at the church again. Asking homeless people to take transit to locations which are outside of the main urban bus routes and have few local services available nearby for them is a recipe for disaster. We can provide care for the homeless, but we should be providing even greater care for the local residents whose neighbors have been burglarized and harassed. The City of Bellevue needs to take a bigger lead on managing where homeless shelters are located, and provide Bellevue residents the safety that we pay handsomely for.

Seahawks steak service raises $230K BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

It may take some time for the Seattle Seahawks to recover from a tough loss Sunday at Kansas City, but some of the teams best defensive players were all smiles Monday night greeting fans as part of a fundraiser for one of their own. Last year Earl Thomas III founded the Guardian Angel Foundation to help local children and teens in the aftermath of disaster so they don’t have to live through the same struggle he did. Monday night, the foundation held its first Steaks and Seahawks dinner fundraiser at Daniel’s Broiler’s Bellevue location raising more than $230,000 through ticket sales and auction, which will go to help fund programs such as Project Christmas Miracle, Earl’s Equip and Winter Coverage. Hundreds of people filled the restaurant while Thomas and his fellow teammates, Bruce Irvin, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright served appetizers. Thomas told the Reporter their support was “special.” “God has given me so much so it’s important to give back,” Thomas said. “Having these guys here make this even greater.” Fellow Legion of Boom member Sherman told

the Reporter he considers Thomas like a brother and supporting each other is what they do. “It’s an important foundation,” he said. “And I wanted to help any way I could. He’s like family to me and I wanted to support my brother.” Irvin, Smith and Wright each echoed similar statements knowing what helping kids in need mean to Thomas after what happened to him and his family. When he was a junior in high school his hometown of Orange, Texas was one of several towns washed out in the wake of Hurricane Rita. Although Thomas and his family escaped the storm unharmed, the home they left behind, along with everything inside. In the proceeding months Thomas and his family shared a room in a nearby Super 8 motel before moving in with his grandfather, Earl Sr. It was an experience that will live with him forever, but not one others should have to, Thomas told the Reporter. “There are situations that are out of our control … natural disasters, and that’s what we want to help out with,” Thomas said. “I’ve been through it, I’ve lived it and I don’t want other kids to have to go through that.” So after visiting foundations setup by his coach Pete Carroll, A Better Seattle,

and general manager John Schneider, Autism Light, Thomas said he felt the urge to do something for the community and he knew exactly who to help and how. “Something spoke to me to do my part, especially for the next generation,” Thomas told the Reporter. “You never know who your generosity is going to affect. Who is going to be the next doctor, lawyer or someone that does something amazing like find a cure for a disease.” Eleven-year-old Ethan Bensussen, of Medina, said he wanted to do his part to help out his favorite player’s foundation so he set out to make 200 buttons featuring the foundation’s logo. Each was auctioned off along with dozens of other donated prizes. Bensussen, whose father Eric serves on the foundation board, said he chose buttons in honor of his father. “My dad used to make a lot of buttons for fundraisers,” he said. “I found his old button maker in the garage and I thought it would be a good idea.” As thanks for his hard work, Thomas signed a personal button for Ethan and took photos with him during the event. For more information about the foundation visit www.earlthomas.org.

Katsu Burger opens in Factoria BY BRANDON MACZ

Joe Quinlan keynotes economic forecast breakfast

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Mere months after bringing Katsu Burger back to Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood, owner Stephanie Kang opened the Japanesestyle hamburger joint’s second location in Factoria on Tuesday. Katsu closed last summer after former owner Hajime Sato found it too difficult to continue its operation, which had been bad news, but also a great opportunity for Kang. “I was a regular here, too, and I said, ‘Where am I going to get my Katsu Burger now?’ “ she said. “ ‘Who is going to continue the legend of Katsu Burger.’ “ Kang was already planning an Eastside location when she reopened Katsu Burger in September to the relief to an already well-established fan base

Katsu Burger opened in Factoria on Tuesday, and offers deep-fried, Japanese-style burgers once only found in Seattle. in Georgetown. She finally decided to close down her Kimchi Amigos restaurant in Factoria, and replace it with Katsu. “It kind of made sense to combine all of our restaurants together,” Kang said. “I love the area and we were looking for another location, but we couldn’t find

any in the area.” Kang said Kimchi Amigos, known for its kimchi burritos, had only been around for a few months before she closed it for Katsu, but she is saving recipes for possible incorporation into Katsu or a

Technical issues detract from ‘Mary Poppins’

BAM breakfast raises $32K

Musical still shines with sensational acting, dancing and singing BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

There’s trouble at 17 Cherry Tree Lane and it’s not Mary Poppins. The Village Theatre’s opening night production of the popular children’s story had several magical moments, including flying people, kites and a chimney sweep dancing on the ceiling. But many of those fell flat as numerous miscues, both musical and spoken, clumsy stage blocking and stagehands appearing in plain view took audience members out of the story. By the time you read this I’m sure

Last week 140 community leaders helped raise more than $32,000 during a fundraiser breakfast for the Bellevue Arts Museum. Board president Joel Petersen said the generosity of the community speaks volumes to the importance of arts in Bellevue. “We have a vibrant group of artists here and are able to showcase their work, along with other amazing artists, because the community gives back,” Petersen said. The breakfast also included a private tour of the museum’s newest exhibits, including its third biennial, “Knock on Wood” 39 works from Northwest artists involving wood. Keynote speaker Jordan Schnitzer, president of Harsch Investment Properties, delivered a passionate speech about his lifelong love affair with art. “For me, waking up each day without art around me would be like waking up without the sun,” he said. “When you live with art around you, your mind and soul are filled with the beau-

ty of life and the creativity of the human spirit.” According to a 2013 report to the Community City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, the arts scene in Seattle generated $448 million in economic activity, provided 10,807 full-time jobs, generated $248 million in household income and $32.8 million in local and state government revenues. Bellevue has the opportunity to take advantage of a similar situation and create similar results, Schnitzer said, but it’s going to take “the most creative, inventive, entrepreneurial workforce in the world. Citizens with healthy minds, hearts and souls.” As the arts community in Bellevue continues to grow and more and more works are brought into the city it’ll breed a larger culture and eventually grow into and beyond itself, he said. Petersen said the money raised during the Nov. 13 breakfast will go a long way to help realize that goal by bringing in current and future artists.

BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

For Shakespeare enthusiasts, few touring groups capture the essence of his works better than The Globe Theatre. Next week, the Moore Theatre will host three performances of “King Lear” directed by Bill Buckhurst, starring Joseph Marcell as the king and a cast of seven others starting Nov. 25, 26 at 7:30 p.m., with a Wednesday matinee at 2 p.m. While Marcell is better known worldwide as Geoffrey the butler on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” the classically trained actor has spent several tours with Globe Theatre Shakespearian productions. This time, the Caribbean-born actor tackles one of Shakespeare’s tougher roles in “King Lear,” the ruler of Britain who spirals into madness after dividing his kingdom between only two of his three daughters. When Marcell was first approached about the role he was unconvinced he was up for the task, but gentle prodding by friends and fellow actors convinced him to go for it. “I didn’t think I was of an age,” Marcell said. “He’s four-score in the play, and at the time it was casting I was only 66. I didn’t think I’d had the life experiences to play such a role … I saw him as a vibrant, vigorous king, someone who led from the front. Probably covered in scars. Someone who had killed, who stood up for himself but could no longer wield a broadsword for 14 hours on end.” As rehearsals started in 2013, Marcell spent six weeks with Buckhurst going over the role, his vision of the play line-by-line determining what was still essential, cutting certain speeches and images that are no longer relevant.

Joseph Marcell as King Lear. The production comes to the Moore Theatre Nov. 25, 26.

Still present however, is the minimalist approach to the production as the cast and crew attempt to recreate how the show would have looked like when it was being performed in the first decade of the 1600s. For Marcell that means nothing is more important than verse and the crowd experience. “The play is about image and excitement and also a shared experience between the actors performing the play and the audience watching. Our audiences are active participants in our production, although not necessarily physically. We don’t go out and grab people on stage, but it’s quite an evening.” Audiences however will forever cling to the role, even responding to Marcell’s aside in “King Lear” of “Does anyone here know me?” with “Geoffrey.” For more information or tickets, visit www.stgpresents.org.

both cast and crew will have ironed out the majority of its timing issues, taking copious amounts of sugar to help the medicine go down, which is why I’m throughly encouraging people to see this production. While it’s in essence the same Disney live-action, animation creation based on P.L. Travers stories, it’s so much more. Unlike the movie, which is almost entirely cheery, the play incorporates more of Travers’ darker moments from her books. The additions add depth and motivation for the characters, especially Mr. and Mrs. Banks who have to face his former nanny Mrs. Andrews (Mary Jo Dugaw), the anti-Mary. The battle scene between Mrs. Andrews and Mary Poppins (Cayman Ilika) creates a wonderful juxtaposition of parenting mirroring Mr. Banks and his children with Dugaw and Ilika playing to each other strengths for a powerful vocal performance. In a previous interview with the Reporter, Ilika said she wasn’t Julie Andrews, and while she may not be, she embodies Mary Poppins and is “Practically Perfect in Every Way,” capturing the audience’s attention from the first snap of her fingers.

Her partner in imagination, Bert (Greg McCormick Allen) sweeps the story along in good tempo, but his singing and dancing is otherworldly, making you forget it’s not a young Dick Van Dyke on stage reprising his role. The cast’s rendition of the chimney sweep anthem, “Step In Time” is reason enough to see the show twice. And if sensational singing and dancing aren’t your thing, the performances by the Banks family (Andrew McGinn as George Banks; Christine Marie as Mrs. Banks; Mae Corley as Jane Banks; and Jaryn Lasentia as Michael Banks) will change your mind with their emotional

portrayals, witty quips and endearing story. If physical comedy is more your thing, then pay close attention to the Banks’ house staff Mrs. Brill (Laura Kenny) and Robertson Ay (Erik Gratton) as the duo does their best Abbot and Costello impression. The show runs at Village Theatre’s Issaquah location now through Jan. 4, followed by a brief break before opening at its Everett location Jan. 5 running through Feb. 8. For more information or tickets, visit www.villagetheatre.org or call the Issaquah box office at 425392-2202 or the Everett box office at 425-257-8600.

When it was all over, Bellevue Wolverines boys water polo coaches Ed Brovick and Evan Kaseguma were tossed into the pool at Curtis Aquatic Center for a celebration of epic proportions. Bellevue bolted out to a 4-0 lead and hung on for an 8-6 victory against the Curtis Vikings in the Washington water polo state championship game Nov. 15 in University Place. It was the fourth consecutive state title for the Wolverines water polo program. Kaseguma didn't mind getting tossed in the pool for the fourth year in the row. The coaches being thrown in the pool by their players is a tradition after a team wins a state championship. "It's cold, but it feels good," Kaseguma said. "One thing that has propelled us to our fourth state title has been our ability to focus when it counts. We tried a couple of different things during regionals and during the regular season, but all of it was geared toward performing our best at the end of the season. That was our goal. Fortunately, it worked out." The Wolverines were able to fend off a furious rally by Curtis in the second half to preserve the win. Wolverines' goalie Quinlan Hughes, who finished with a game-high nine saves, was jubilant follow-

"It was the weirdest feeling. I have never been that dominant in a sport. It was the greatest feeling I have ever felt in my entire life," Hughes said. "Tonight is the most amazing night of my life."

left in the second period. "We went into this game knowing what we had to do. We knew exactly what needed to happen and thats what we did," Hayes said. Zack Rossman and AJ Rossman each scored two goals and Josh Redher chipped in a goal in the title game as well. Brovick was proud of his team for rising to the occasion with everything on the line. The Wolverines finished fourth at regionals, but it didn't stop them from regaining their championship form at the state tournament. "It's a great culmination of the entire season. The senior class has worked hard all of these years to reach this goal. We had some rough spots in the season with some unexpected losses, but they came back and had the state championship as their No. 1 goal and they achieved it," Brovick said. "They had been here before (state tourney) so they had the confidence. They didn't have the jitters and executed the game plan. It was a total team effort. It was awesome."

Pure physicality

Hard-hitting on both sides of the ball BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

BEYOND THE

ATHLETE

A proverbial chip resides proudly on the shoulder of Newport Knights senior football player Nick Keithley. The Knights, who have put together an impressive 9-2 overall record and have clinched a berth in the Class 4A state quarterfinals, are just three games

away from realizing their dream of a state championship. Newport will host the Federal Way Eagles at 7 p.m. on Nov. 22 with a berth in the Class 4A state semifinals on the line. "We want this state championship. That is our goal. Our senior class is really close together," Keithley said. "There is nothing else we are thinking about. A lot of people haven't been talking about us. I think we are the team to beat. Each week we are playing hard and we are practicing even better." Shaun Scott, Bellevue Reporter Keithley is a rare two-way Newport running back Nick starter, playing linebacker Keithley is confident his on defense and fullback on team can make a run at the offense. Class 4A state football title. "Playing fullback in the triple-option offense I get hit every single play. I love it. The sport is something I love. You can't get it (physicality) anywhere else or with any other activity," he said. "I'm always around the ball at linebacker and my job is to make the play and always make the tackle. You got to be a leader on the field from that position and that is what I just love." Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Keithley a few questions about his life away from the football field: SEE KEITHLEY, 17

Wolverines smash Spartans

Bellevue advances to Class 3A quarterfinals BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Wolverines football team may have registered a convincing 38-0 victory against the Sumner Spartans in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs on Nov. 14, but that doesn't mean they were satisfied with their performance. Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff and his staff's expectations never waiver despite piling up victories. "We didn't play that well. The scoreboard indicated we did and at times we did some good things but it was not good enough to get where we want to go. We have to get a lot better. It all starts in practice this week," Goncharoff said. Bellevue wide receiver/defensive back Tyren Sams relishes playing for a coaching staff that expects the best from each and every player on a daily basis. "It's all about practice. Butch (Goncharoff) always talks about hard work and effort. That is what he cares about. He tells us to go out there and try our hardest. That's how we do it," Sams said. Bellevue dominated the line of scrimmage against Sumner on both sides of the ball. Sam Richmond, Ercle Terrell and Justus Rogers scored rushing touchdowns for Bellevue. Rogers connected with Josh Satterlee on a 41-yard touchdown pass and Tyson Penn on a 4-yard touchdown pass as well. Rogers credited the Bellevue offensive and defensive lines for doing their jobs to the maximum of their abilities. "They are so important to both sides of the ball. They are what makes everything work first and foremost. We had so many key blocks tonight," Rogers said. "When I scored on my 25-yard touchdown run I thought I was about to get tackled but then Henry Roberts (UW-bound offensive

KEITHLEY

lineman) just opened up a huge hole. It opened up like the Red Sea. It was just a great game overall. We're just playing our game and are playing Bellevue football." The Wolverines (11-0) will host the Peninsula Seahawks in the Class 3A quarterfinals at 7 p.m. on Nov 21 in Bellevue. Sumner head coach Keith Ross said Bellevue executed as well as any high school football team he's ever seen. The Spartans finished the 2014 season with an overall record of 6-5. "There's a reason why they only have lost one game in the past 10 years. They are even more dynamite in person than they are on film. You can't get a grasp of their size and athleticism on film. They are very impressive," Ross said. "We're a program on the rise and if you're going to learn from anyone, you might as well learn from Bellevue. It was a good experience." Sumner senior wide receiver Triston Wedington said his team gave it everything they had against the powerful Wolverines. "We kept running plays 100-percent and didn't give up one time. Coming out here and playing a top-10 team in the nation is just amazing. It's a tough loss, but the journey we had to get to where we played Bellevue was unbelievable." Wedington said he will miss playing for Ross. "The way he coaches the game is different from any other coach that is out there. He gives the team so much energy. We feed off of that and go out and play our hardest," Wedington said. "One thing he always talks about the most is family. We know he loves us."

He reported being tackled to the ground, later realizing he'd been stabbed, but did not recall an earlier confrontation where he struck Greytak.

Cottrell said Mox’s next big move on Washington’s map has not yet been decided, and the company chooses its locations far enough away from competitors to capture untapped markets. Mox’s Bellevue location came with a bonus, she said, because it’s right down the street from Privateer Press, maker of the popular steampunk wargame, Warmachine. Privateer Press will unleash a number of its employees to battle fans at Mox Boarding House on Dec. 15. “I guarantee you, some of them are going to get worked over,” Cottrell said.

This would be made possible largely by delaying the $60 million in long-term debt financing it is estimated to take to construct the first segment of the Northeast Spring Boulevard project from Wright Runstad’s Spring District at Northeast 12th Street to 120th Avenue Northeast. It also pulls out $25 million for a 2015 levy lift debt issuance. The budget does still fund design costs for Spring Boulevard.

In one case on May 27, Greytak allegedly used his pocket knife to puncture the tire of a car belonging to two shoplifting suspects.

It undermines the city’s credibility and competitiveness for grant funding in the future,” she added. Wright Runstad and partners have already begun Phase 1 of its office and residential development in the Spring District. During the earlier study session Monday, Wallace said delaying the Spring Boulevard project also would allow the city to continue negotiations with Sound Transit regarding a revised memorandum of understanding for its East Link light rail obligations. Wallace told the Reporter on Tuesday the city is trying to reach an agreement that addresses changes by Sound Transit in light rail alignment and the siting of its operations and maintenance satellite facility at the BNSF site in Bellevue, near to the Spring District and future 120th Avenue Northeast station. The benefit of not adding long-term debt, Wallace said, will be freeing up funds for more community partnership projects. KidsQuest

The Salvation Army wants to construct a new facility in the Crossroads to address low-income and homeless families. “It just completely overwhelms the whole budget if you keep it in there,” Wallace told the Reporter of the longterm debt option for Spring Boulevard. The rest of the council agreed Wallace’s revised budget was worth exploration, as long as it did not prevent any critical projects from being completed. Staff will bring back its analysis of the alternate plan on Nov. 24. The council plans to adopt the 2015-16 budget in early December.

change, if any, in obligations may occur during Sound Transit negotiations. Wallace’s revised budget commits $1 million a year for seven years as a council contingency for an arts, culture and kids partnership fund. Wallace said there are still too many unknowns tied to the performing arts center and a sizable commitment at this time would require an increase in property taxes. If Wallace’s budget is approved, this would be the sixth year the council has not raised the property tax. The deputy mayor’s budget also proposes removing funding to expand the east parking garage at City Hall to replace spaces in the visitor and public safety garages when light rail comes through it. The council approved a contract with SRG Partnership Inc. for up to $573,970 for design and engineering services for the expansion last December. Wallace said with Sound Transit causing the interruption in City Hall parking, the expectation will be that the transit agency will cover the parking expansion once an agreement is reached.

continued success will depend on a struggling global economy. “I don’t want to be on top of a crumbling mountain,” he said. The European Union is effectively in a recession, he said, and even China and India are showing signs of slowing economic growth. “Greece is the strongest economy, right now,” Quinlan said of the EU, “and that just makes you sweat as an economist.” As for the United States, Quinlan says there is no sign of recession on the horizon in 2015, predicting unemployment will dip below 5 percent, however, wage pressures will force companies to become more competitive. “You’re going to have to start paying up for good

people,” he said. That issue is only compounded by the need for a better educated national workforce, which Quinlan said vocational training and community college partnerships would alleviate some. “Forty-six million are not ready to compete in the 21st century,” he said.

He signed a similar contract the following year at Sammamish High School before joining Interlake last year. Sytman said it is “standard” for teachers on one-year contracts to accept a different position if one has opened up. Each of the counselors, who are all mandatory reporters, state none of the students they had met with as of Monday had reported any other inappropriate conduct involving Colgan. The district is also examining ways to better protect students from situations such as the allegations against Colgan. One of the ways currently being discussed is how to share board policies and procedures with students and parents. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

‘Rescue’ your next best friend

Diesel is a total love-muffin. He’s a 5-year-old Pug mix with the softest fur and sweetest disposition. Diesel loves treats and is polite when he takes them from your hand. He enjoys walks, being near you, and can't wait to be your new best little bud. Spider is a 2-month-old black domestic shorthair mix with lots of curiosity. Spider is an active little guy who's game for any kind of fun — chase the ball, run after the ribbon or jump for a feather. Both are at the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue, located at the intersection of I-405 and I-90. It is open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. For directions, call 425-641-0080. Tipper is a 2-year-old male cat, domestic medium hair, black and white that is very sweet, friendly, affectionate and loves attention. He likes to be petted head to tail, and especially likes the "double cheek smoosh," where you gently scratch both cheeks at the same time. Tipper is FIV-plus and will need to be indoor-only, and either an only kitty or live in a home with other FIV-plus kitties. Tipper is available at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent, located at 21615 64th Ave. S. Adoption hours: 3-6 p.m. Monday, noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. 206-296-PETS or pets@ kingcounty.gov.

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.
