Inslee: Tell legislators to invest in schools

BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Gov. Jay Inslee spent more than an hour Wednesday at Stevenson Elementary School meeting with 30 local community leaders and educators to hear about the area’s successes and gaps still needing to be filled.

Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci said the city

is no longer the “stereotype of white affluence” and there’s a real need for students in the school district that goes beyond preparing them to pass a biology test.

In large part those needs are being met by the other members of the listening station, including LifeSpring, Leadership Eastside, Boys and Girls Club and Youth Services that are working with school district officials is to ensure each student

The Washington State Transportation Commission plans to adopt a new rate structure for tolling express lanes being constructed on Interstate 405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood, but interstate commuters spoke out against the system Tuesday, many saying it won't work and will force them onto general purpose lanes.

A two-lane express toll lane system both ways from Northeast Sixth Street in Bellevue to State Route 522 is expected to add capacity, as is a one-lane system both ways between SR-522 and I-5 in Lynnwood. But in order to cover operation costs, the state transportation department reports a two-occupancy carpooling system drivers are now used to won't work.

Commuters made public comments at a meeting with the WSTC Tuesday night at Bellevue City Hall, many objecting to only allowing vehicles with three or more occupants to drive the express lanes for free during peak hours. One man said he and his wife have a hard enough time planning their commute together, and they won't be able to find another passenger to allow them to use the express lanes. He estimated it could cost him more than $500 annually to do so under the proposed rates. Vehicles with two or more occupants can use the lanes for free, but not during peak hours: 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. Motorcycles, transit vehicles and vanpools will also be exempt.

The Bellevue City Council approved an interlocal agreement and memorandum of agreement Monday with fellow stakeholders in the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network to proceed with plans to

replace the aging system.

King County Radio Communications project manager David Mendel said the King County Council is still reviewing the levy lid lift measure for the estimated $225-million replacement project and must make a decision by March 3 to place it on the April 28 special election ballot.

If the measure makes it to the ballot and is approved, the estimated cost to county residents is estimated at

General contractor Bayley Construction also was cited for not properly laying down floor covers, as well as not ensuring stairway handrails were surfaced to prevent injuries from punctures, cuts or snagging clothes. L&I states in its citation Bayley used rebar tie-wire in at

Bellevue Urgent Care Center growing to meet demand

Brandon Macz, Bellevue Reporter

Overlake registered nurse Zarmi Marasigan processes a blood test at the new urgent care center in Bellevue on Tuesday.

Overlake plans increased hours, adding space downtown after busy three weeks

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Overlake Medical Center’s Bellevue Urgent Care Center downtown has been open nearly three weeks now, and the nonprofit is already eyeing expanding its space and service hours.

Overlake opened urgent care clinics in Redmond and Issaquah two and 10 years ago, respectively, and the downtown Bellevue clinic opened Jan. 19 to address an increase in population there, said Dr. Eric Shipley, medical director of Overlake’s urgent care centers.

“That was the thrust and it’s been well-received,” Shipley said. “It’s been busier

than anticipated and I think it will grow rapidly.”

The clinic occupies 6,000 square feet of an existing Overlake building built several years ago for primary care services at 400 108th Ave. N.E., and includes 12 patient rooms, one procedure room and an in-house laboratory for basic blood, urine and respiratory tests.

Four primary care providers continue to operate out of the building MondayFriday.

Shipley said Overlake hired specific physicians, nurses and X-ray technologists to staff its Bellevue care center, which will be able to provide health maintenance, screenings, immunizations,

routine women’s care and chronic disease management. Physicians are also experienced in managing acute and chronic conditions like broken bones, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and anemia, according to an Overlake news release.

Overlake Urgent Care physician Teresa Pliskowski said a majority of patients are coming in with illnesses like colds and flus, but there have also been a good amount of injury cases.

She said the clinic fluctuates from very busy to few patients, with peak times also varying.

“It really is feast or famine,” Pliskowski said. “I’ve gotten really good feedback from patients,” even when they have to wait, she added.

Shipley said the clinic’s hours of noon to 10 p.m.

Monday through Saturday will likely need to expand in the next two months to meet the already healthy demand for urgent care.

Other Overlake urgent care centers are open 7-11 a.m.

Monday through Friday. He added Sunday service hours are also being considered.

Overlake has the ability to add on to the urgent care center building, and Shipley said its footprint may be expanded in the next six months.

“There’s some area that we can expand to, and I fully expect that will be happening based on the reception we’ve received,” he said.

The urgent care center can be reached at 425-6356550 and the primary care clinic can be reached at 425635-6350.

Legislature needs to fix 520 bridge toll system

I

f you use the 520 bridge, you know you have to pay a toll. If you don’t, you expect the state Department of Transportation to send you a bill for it.

That sounds so reasonable — and fair. But it’s not. In fact, the state is facing a class-action lawsuit claiming the DOT is making it next to impossible for motorists to win an appeal of what can be onerous fines that go along with the missed tolls.

The Legislature needs to fix an obviously flawed system.

The problem is that if you miss paying a toll the DOT says it is under no requirement to tell you about it. The result can be a fine that just keeps growing and growing.

And forget it if you think you can appeal your case and get a reasonable hearing. The DOT sets the fines for missed tolls, doesn’t have to tell you as the fines grow and grow and then has an appeals process that has limits on how much flexibility administrative law judges have in their decisions.

Judge, jury and executioner all in one. And they say government can’t be efficient.

Sen. Andy Hill, who represents Sammamish, has a proposal to improve the DOT’s customer service, address technology gaps and establish a one-time toll penalty amnesty program. All are worth consideration given that losing a class-action lawsuit would be really expensive for the state. Not only would the state likely have to repay toll penalties, but also face triple damages and attorneys’ fees.

The Legislature is scrambling for money to pay for schools and other core functions. Having the state on the hook for a flawed toll system will only make things worse.

It doesn’t have to come to that. The Legislature needs to follow up on Hill’s plan and, if necessary, develop it further.

My hope for the future of the Eastside

T

he Eastside is quite simply the best place in America to live, raise a family and pursue a

career.

My hope is that the factors that have made possible our unparalleled quality of life will grow even stronger in years to come. Among the most important factors are strong public education, a thriving technology sector and a vibrant community life characterized by outstanding volunteer leadership.

I moved to Bellevue with my parents in 1977, as a high school ROB sophomore. Our McKENNA high-tech sector was nascent — Microsoft’s move to the Eastside was still years away — and we were still largely a bedroom community for Boeing engineers and workers in downtown Seattle.

The Eastside was a vibrant community in those days, as it is today.

However, as I observed in an article in Bellevue’s Journal-American newspaper around 1990, the same 100 or

so people seemed to run everything.

They were and are great people, there just weren’t enough of them.

Moreover, few community leaders at that time were people of color or immigrants, and very few were under 40.

As a young lawyer working in downtown Bellevue, I regularly was asked by community leaders where they could find other younger people to recruit into civic leadership roles, and by many young professionals about how they could become involved. A group of us came together to create a networking organization we called Forum Eastside, and that led us to design and launch Advance Bellevue, a leadership program intended to jumpstart the civic engagement of younger people in our community.

Not long after that, a similarlyminded group to our north created Leadership Institute. Over time, it became obvious that a combined organization made the most sense and the rest, as they say, is Leadership Eastside history.

Many graduates of Advance Bellevue, Leadership Institute and

Leadership Eastside have fostered a spirit of community involvement, and worked hard to recruit and encourage younger and more diverse individuals who reflect the Eastside’s vibrancy and its future.

Education, the economy and community: all three are vital to our quality of life, and all three depend on the spirit of volunteerism, and of volunteer leadership, which Leadership Eastside embodies and supports.

ellevue resident Jay Karns relies on Metro Access vans, Metro buses, good sidewalks and safe crosswalks to get from his group home in the Camden Estates neighborhood in north Bellevue to his job at the Factoria 8 movie theater.

He gives the city high marks when it comes to improving city sidewalks and accessibility over time, though challenges remain.

“I’d give Bellevue an A-plus for effort because every year I’ve been here the city is getting better,” said Karns, a Bellevue resident since 1981, who was born with spina bifida.

“It’s good to see sidewalks on both sides of the street, or a wide enough shoulder to get from one end of a street to another. Areas with no sidewalks are chancy.”

He said crosswalks and curb ramps are particularly important elements of a pedestrian system that’s accessible.

The city of Bellevue is committed to developing a community that provides all people the opportunity to enjoy civic facilities, programs, services and activities without encountering barriers to access. In the Transportation Department, we’ve been incorporating ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards and best practices into our projects for more than 20 years.

In 2009, the Transportation Department completed a comprehensive inventory of barriers to access in the public right of way, such as sidewalks and curb ramps. Our plan to mitigate barriers identified by the inventory targets approximately $1.25 million each year to construct missing curb ramps, repair uneven sidewalks and remove obstructions.

Achieving access improvements is really a two-pronged approach. We retrofit existing facilities and we build new sidewalks. Our Pavement Overlay Program retrofits 110 curb ramps each year on average, our Street Maintenance Program addresses sidewalk defects, and our Neighborhood Sidewalks Program constructs new sidewalks. We also respond to sidewalk issues raised by people who call our Operations and Maintenance Line at 425-452-7840.

As a convenience for pedestrians, we’ve been adding midblock crossings, most of them with flashing beacons for enhanced safety. I’m also proud to say we were the first city in the state to use smart traffic signals that temporarily display red left-turn arrows — which better protect pedestrians in

the crosswalk — before returning to a flashing yellow arrow.

Sidewalks and accessibility are addressed in the draft update of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Last updated in 2004, the Comp Plan is the community’s vision for the future of Bellevue, guiding city investments in infrastructure and policy. It helps define the kind of city we want Bellevue to become.

The draft plan covers a wide range of topics, including land use, housing, parks, economic development and human services.

It also targets accessibility issues, calling for the city to “design, implement, and maintain transportation system improvements and deliver transportation services and pro-

It’s a big job, considering there are more than 345 miles of sidewalks and 4,500 curb ramps citywide.

Salvation Army plans new Crossroads community center

Nonprofit facing capacity issues in current facility

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Salvation Army Eastside Corps has raised $3.2 million — with a $5.5 million capital campaign goal — to construct a two-story, 17,280-square-foot community center in Bellevue’s Crossroads neighborhood. Corps Lt. Darryck Dwelle says the center will be the tool that allows the nonprofit to expand its social service and after-school programs that have long suffered capacity issues in its current facility.

“The building is just a resource in which we can meet a growing need in this Crossroads area,” Dwelle said.

The community center will replace a 5,200-square-foot office building constructed by the Salvation Army on the 900 block of 164th Avenue Northeast. the nonprofit had planned to be temporary, but has been operating for the past 10 years, serving communities in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell and Woodinville.

“We call it our one-room schoolhouse,” Dwelle said of the modular building.

The Salvation Army Eastside provides a number of social service programs primarily meant to assist the working poor, including emergency assistance with covering utility costs, clothing for children and adults who need them for employment,

(Top) The Salvation Army Eastside Corps is facing capacity issues at its current facility in the Crossroads neighborhood of Bellevue and is raising funds for a new community center (below). furniture vouchers, housing assistance and meal programs.

“Mostly we’re preventing people from entering homelessness,” Dwelle said. “We do a lot for the working poor in this area.”

There is also an after-school program at the current facility and a growing wait list to get in. The computer lab is a small room

with six working computers that more than 30 children in the program must take turns using. A kitchen where food is made to serve as many as 80 people coming by for a free meal is a little bigger than that.

A number of other programs spill over into the worship room, but space is tight everywhere, Dwelle said.

The new community center design submitted to the city of Bellevue reflects the Salvation Army’s philosophical aspirations — a gym represents the body while classrooms on the southside of the building represents the mind and the chapel symbolizes the spirit.

Dwelle said the new center will double space for dry storage like clothes and food bags and includes an industrial kitchen and larger space for the nonprofit’s meal program.

“The second floor is designed completely for kids,” he said, and includes classrooms, activity rooms and computer lab.

Dwelle said once the community center is completed, the Salvation Army hopes to expand its number of community partnerships to add services and programs, with plans already set to open the gym up as a women and children’s shelter during the winter.

The hope is to break ground on the new community center, which will take over the current facility’s footprint and an adjacent lot, in the final quarter of 2015. That will be contingent on the Salvation Army reaching its fundraising goal and being issued its building permits, Dwelle said.

To learn more about the project, Dwelle can be reached at 425-802-9429 or darryck.dwelle@usw.salvationarmy.org.

transponder that lets the driver change the setting to HOV-mode to avoid being charged. This would be used in conjunction with the Good to Go! pass.

The recommended average toll for the express lanes will be between 75 cents and $4 at the start of the tolling system. More congested days would fall between $4 and $10, the latter being the maximum and expected only 10 percent of travel days.

Seventy-seven percent of trips are expected to be below $1, according to the WSDOT. WSDOT reports I-405

experiences up to eight hours of congestion daily, amounting to one of the worst traffic situations in the state. HOV lanes already on the interstate fail to operate at 45 mph as required by state and federal guidelines 90 percent of the time.

Another commuter accused the transportation department of trying to bump two-person carpools off the express lanes to meet the 45 mph mandate so as not to lose federal funding.

The Bellevue to Renton portion of the project remains unfunded, but could gain capital support depending on the outcome of efforts to pass a state transportation package this legislative session.

Of the roughly $1.17 billion needed to complete this phase (along with several other projects), an executive advisory group recommends using $215 million from toll revenues.

The commission plans to adopt final recommendations for its I-405 rate-setting policies on March 18.

Chop Shop: Bodies of Work returns to Bellevue One of the premiere dance festivals in the Pacific Northwest is returning to Bellevue next week for its eighth year after nearly having to cancel its performances last fall.

Due to an unexpected change in grant award policy, Chop Shop: Bodies of Work, a contemporary dance festival featuring leading national and international awardwinning choreographers, was facing an $8,000 loss in funding.

Eva Stone, producer and curator of Chop Shop, turned to the arts community and lovers of dance to help raise the money through an online crowd funding campaign via Kickstarter.

It was some of the longest 21 days of her life, she said, but once the goal was reached it was back to business getting people to love dance as much as she does.

Performances will be held at The Theatre at Meydenbauer Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 14) and at 3 p.m. Sunday (Feb. 15).

“People love dance, they just don’t know it yet,” Stone said. “Our mission is to bring quality, contemporary dance to Eastside audiences through education, interaction,

dialogue and experience.”

But to get an audience into a contemporary dance performance has its challenges, especially the stigma that modern dance is too “edgy” or “weird” for many people to enjoy.

Stone said that’s why she created Chop Shop in the first place.

“We want to support local and regional dance artists and promote the accessibility and the presentation of contemporary dance for both new and experienced dance audiences,” she said. “If we don’t start including the audience, who is going to pay for a ticket?”

Last month, Stone and others helped dozens of people understand why dancers move certain ways and what their positions may mean during the “Experience Dance Program,” a free lecture demonstration and introductory level modern dance classes through a collaboration with the Bellevue Parks and Community Services Department.

“We spend an hour or so pulling back the curtain and revealing the wizards of dance,” she said. “It’s really helped people new to dance understand the nuances and realize it’s OK to be a little confused and it’s

Prior to the Saturday performance, master classes taught by the choreographers from the 10 different dance companies will be available for students in training.

Choreographer Alana O’Farrell Rogers, who has performed in several previous Chop Shops, said while some pieces may not appeal to everyone, the festival as

a whole has always resonated with audiences.

Inspired by her work at a local nursing home and the people she met there, O’Farrell Rogers said her piece “Rewind” is an examination of memory loss, which almost everyone can connect to.

“I realized just how difficult it is for them, for their families, to see them lose what they’ve had,” she said.

“It’s about loss of identity, in the sense at that time when you no longer have a choice of who you are or who you want to be.”

The five-dancer performance had to be cut roughly in half from its original work to meet the 10 minute requirement for Chop Shop, but O’Farrell Rogers said the piece is still

a complete work.

O’Farrell Rogers’ piece will be featured alongside San Francisco-based company The Foundry; Asher Lev from Brussels and Israel; Coriolis Dance of Seattle; Gabrielle Revlock of Philadelphia and New York City; Jamie Karlovich of Seattle; Lindsey Matheis of Portland and New York City; Project20 of Vancouver, British Columbia.

Stone is also showcasing a new work “Architecture of the Human Body” a seven-woman piece examining physical connectivity.

“When it was brought to Billie’s attention, she initially resisted singing it because it reminded her of her father’s death,” Duvall said. “When she finally decided to sing it, her record label didn’t want her to record it because of the serious political nature of the song — a vivid description of the aftermath of a lynching.”

After it was recorded, many radio stations refused to play it, but it became a cult classic anyway, as she included it in her nightclub and concert repertoire for the remainder of her career, he said.

A Bellevue rheumatologist's medical license was placed on five year's probation by the Washington Department of Health last month for a score of offenses that included hiring unlicensed nurses, poor record-keeping, questionable prescriptions and violations of physicianpatient boundaries, which resulted in one marriage.

Carl J. Brodie, a 24-year Washington physician and surgeon, entered into an order agreement with the Medical Quality Assurance Commission on Jan. 8 that confirms the findings of an investigation brought about by a whistleblower complaint about the doctor's practice.

The Bellevue doctor began treating a 36-year-old female patient for symptoms from lupus in 1994, entering into a sexual relationship in 2009 that lasted through 2011, according to charging documents.

During this time Brodie continued prescribing the patient opioids, benzodiazepine and other medications, including a questionable and life-threatening drug.

MQAC states in charges that Brodie failed to educate the patient about the risks of opioids and other medications, as he did in other patients' cases.

He hired the patient as his office manager a year after their relationship began,

charges state, prescribing her medications paid for through insurance he provided at his practice, Immune Disease Treatment Services. He also allegedly wrote prescriptions for the patient's daughter and did not maintain records of her as a patient.

He also reported writing prescriptions for his office manager-lover's dog, which MQAC states exceeded the scope of his practice.

Brodie reportedly had engaged in a previous sexual relationship with a patient sometime after treatments began in 2002, marrying her in 2005. They divorced in 2009. The doctor continued her treatments during their relationship.

And prior to that Brodie allegedly had a relationship with another woman, stating the relationship ended in 1996 — before he began treating her in 2001. MQAC states Brodie also wrote questionable prescriptions for the woman and kept shoddy patient records.

The Bellevue doctor also hired unlicensed nurses, first in 2006 — that employee was certified a year later — and again in 2009. In 2010, Brodie signed blank prescriptions for staff to fill while he was on vacation, according to charges.

Along with probation, Brodie agreed to completing a professional boundaries program, taking an opioid prescribing course, paying a $35,000 fine and a number of other corrective and educational actions.

Selfless style of play pays off Bellevue Bulldogs men's basketball squad undefeated in league play

Bellevue Bulldogs point guard Jalen Ward brings the ball up the court in a game earlier this season.

eb. 1 is a date I will never forget due to sheer mental anguish and despair.

For the eighth consecutive year, I hosted a Super Bowl shindig in North Puyallup. In my opinion, Super Bowl XLIX was one of the best Super Bowls ever played. It was by far the biggest emotional roller coaster I’ve experienced watching a game as a fan.

Following Jermaine Kearse’s acrobatic catch on the Patriots 5-yard line late in the fourth quarter, it appeared to Seahawks fans across the world it was only a matter of time until they punched the ball into the endzone for a 31-28 lead and a second consecutive Super Bowl title.

Unfortunately it never materialized. Following a 4-yard run by Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson was intercepted by Patriots’ defensive back Malcolm Butler with 20 seconds left in regulation, sealing a Patriots 28-24 victory.

In the seconds and minutes following Wilson’s interception, the mood was undeniably somber at my apartment. It was a mixture of shock, sadness, anger and disappointment all rolled into a package of pure agony.

Making the extra pass is a staple of winning basketball programs regardless of the level of play.

The Bellevue Bulldogs men's basketball team displayed their efficiency both offensively and defensively in a 76-44 win against the Whatcom Orcas on Jan. 28 at Bellevue College.

Bellevue improved its overall record to 19-2 (6-0 league) with the win. The Bulldogs are in sole possession of first place in the Northwest Athletic Conference North Division and are on a 10-game winning streak. Bulldogs' sophomore guard Jalen Ward, who finished the game with a team-high 15 points and six assists, said the Bulldogs’ team chemistry is the reason for their success. The Bulldogs finished with 14 assists and five Bulldogs players scored in double figures against the Orcas.

"The unity on this team brings us together. We like to share the ball. When you bring that continuity to the table, it enables us to play better and better each game," Ward said.

Bellevue head coach Jeremy Eggers said the 2014-15 Bulldogs basketball team is special.

Bellevue Bulldogs sophomore back on floor after suffering early season injury

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Bulldogs sophomore forward Anthony McLaughlin couldn't wait to get back on the floor after a one-month hiatus.

McLaughlin, who suffered a strained groin against the Highline Thunderbirds on Dec. 14, returned to the Bulldogs' lineup against Shoreline on Jan. 10. A week later, McLaughlin BEYOND THE scored 18 points and secured 12 rebounds in the Bulldogs' 85-79 win against the Skagit Valley Cardinals on Jan. 17.

"It is awesome to be back out on the court with my teammates. It was so hard watching these guys play and not being able to contribute," McLaughlin said. "We have such a great group of guys. Being able to get back out there on the court is a lot of fun."

The Bulldogs have put together a formidable 19-2 overall record thus far. McLaughlin said camaraderie and team unity drive the Bulldogs.

"From the very beginning, we all bought into coach (Jeremy) Eggers system. We play team basketball and that is the biggest key to this team's success," McLaughlin said. "We don't have a star. On any given night any one of us can step up for our team. I feel like that is what makes us so special."

McLaughlin thoroughly enjoys playing collegiate basketball just 19 miles from the town he grew up in. He is a 2012 graduate of Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie.

"My family makes it to almost every single game.

They're awesome supporters," he said. "Being that close to home is great."

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask McLaughlin a few questions about his life away from the basketball court.

back-to-back Super Bowl titles. They were 1 yard away from realizing not only their dream, but the aspirations of every Seahawks fan on the planet. The days following the loss were undoubtedly tough for Seahawks fans.

The good news for Hawks fans is the future is bright for the home team. Star players Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas and Russell Wilson are cornerstones of the franchise and will be on the roster for years to come.

Going to back-to-back Super Bowls is an accomplishment in itself. I just hope the Seahawks will return for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance in Santa Clara in February of 2016.

of a team brand of basketball I have had in my 12 years here as a coach," Eggers said. "It's unique to have that great of team unity."

Ward said the team bond was built months before the 2014-15 season officially kicked off with its October practice sessions.

"It all started with our open gyms in the summer. Most of us went through summer league together. Everybody showed up every day to work hard and get better," Ward said. "We have a mindset that we will never be satisfied, no matter what the rankings or how many games we've won in a row. We will just never be satisfied."

Eggers said the Bulldogs are amped about the final seven games remaining on their regular season schedule.

"We're really going to find out a lot about ourselves. We got some tough games on the road coming up," he said.

"We have met some challenges so far and have done really well. We're excited about the next month."

Edward Widmayer of Bellevue, Washington, died Tuesday January 27, 2015 at his home.

Ed was born on February 5, 1925 in Washington, D.C. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute and received his bachelors and masters degrees in Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. He was a member of Theta Xi fraternity. When serving in the Navy he received his Ensign Degree at Columbia University.While at RPI, he was a member of the Lacrosse team which played an exhibition game with an All England Team in the 1948 Olympics in London.

He married his beloved bride, Ellen McGrane, on April 24, 1949 in Troy, NY. They have been married for over 65 years.

He was a loving and loyal husband and father who could always be depended upon in any situation. Work took them to NACA in VA.; Martin Co. in MD. and Boeing in PA. and Washington where they have lived since 1978.

Ed was a weekly communicant at Sacred Heart Church and was a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus. He was a member of the committee for the renovation of the church. Both he and Ellen were members of the Carpe Diem group at their church and enjoyed many of their functions. In earlier years, when the 3 boys were youngsters he coached a little league and was an assistant Scout Master.

Ed was an avid reader and a wealth of knowledge. His Math skills came in handy when the children needed help with homework. Sailing, bridge and golf were favorite activities throughout his life. He was a very kind and loving father who cared for his children and spent time with them.

He is preceded in death by his eldest son, Fred. He is survived by his loving wife, Ellen, and three of the four children: Douglas (Rayene Lehman) Widmayer, of Helena, MT.; Margaret (James) Fisher, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Kevin (Linda) Widmayer of Friday Harbor, WA.

Police investigating woman for theft from elderly woman

Call this Newspaper for Details

BELLEVUE REPORTER

A guardian grievance investigator charged to protect the elderly is under investigation for allegedly making unauthorized charges with a credit card belonging to a Bellevue senior while acting as her accountant and power of attorney.

Sally Rees reportedly admitted to police she'd used a secondary credit card belonging to an 85-year-old Bellevue woman she had power of attorney over for the past four years to make at least $5,000 in unauthorized purchases, according to an affidavit for search warrant filed in King County Superior Court. She is also alleged to have forged the signature of the woman's daughter for at least one of several hundred credit card transactions.

According to the affidavit, Rees provided documentation of her paying off the debt she illegally accrued on the elderly woman's credit card. However, investigators report her financial management records as being too confusing to determine the sources of those funds. Her records for managing the Bellevue woman's finances were also "extremely confusing," according to the affidavit.

To help that cause, the governor asked the community leaders to reach out to legislators, tell their story of success and explain how the children are “a good investment.”

As the landscape of Bellevue continues to

February 6, 2015 [15] change it’s more important than ever having the school district and the social programs on the same page to continue that success, Balducci added.

successful without the help of these groups here.”

The fundamental question of this year’s legislative sessions continues to focus on how the state will properly fund education and find the billions of dollars needed to satisfy the McCleary decision, Inslee said.

In his proposed budget, the governor suggested taxing the state’s largest polluters via a cap-and-trade deal and some of its wealthiest through a capital-gains tax. Both had raised the ire of state republicans who claim

there are other methods to balancing the budget, but have yet to put forth any official budget proposals, he said.

Taking money out of housing, for instance, may appear like an easy solution, but the ramifications and the ripple effect of how it’ll affect the state’s students will just cause further education problems, the governor added.

“We can’t create more homeless, hungry children,” he said. “They can’t be in the back of ‘89 Buick and be expected to do their homework. These students need support to ensure they’re ready to learn.”

Despite the uphill battle he’s facing, Inslee said he’s confident a bipartisan budget will be passed and not at the expense of student
