Bellevue is ready to take action if the King County Council follows through with a draft regional solid waste transfer plan the city claims will cause traffic and self-hauling problems in Factoria.

The draft plan the county will soon be reviewing proposes to close the transfer station in Renton, as well as continuing its commitment to close the Houghton station in Kirkland.

King County has a memorandum of understanding with the city to close Houghton — considered a blight in its residential setting — in 2023.

Bellevue veteran Bob Shay turns over dirt surrounding the ‘Lest We Forget’ memorial in Downtown Park on Monday, ahead of plaza construction.

After five years of work, veteran Bob Shay was finally able to put shovel to dirt at the “Lest We Forget” monument in Downtown Park.

Tucked between two elms — formerly three — the monument was dedicated by the Bellevue Minute Women and Bellevue School District on Armistice Day 1926 to the lives of three local men who died fighting in World War I: Victor Freed, Victor E. Hanson and Oscar Johnson.

A Vietnam-era Veteran and chaplain for the local VFW Post 2995, Shay took up the charge to bring the monument back into focus at the park.

“It’s always and only been about these three guys, and that’s the way I want to keep it,” Shay told a gathering of supporters surrounding the monument Monday morning.

The small ceremony preceded the groundwork being taken on by GLY Construction, which is donating labor and 95 percent of the materials to create a circular plaza around the monument, with three flag posts representing Freed, Hanson and Johnson.

GLY project superintendent Jesse Neil said that work should take 2 1/2 weeks to complete. He added GLY co-founder SEE MEMORIAL, 9

The King County Council has a plan for adding back 69,000 hours of Metro bus service on 54 routes with $89 million in new and previously unused revenue sources.

King County Metro was facing a cut in service of 600,000 hours last year, but the county council was

able to limit those reductions to 161,000 hours in September 2014 and found savings for more than 400,000 hours.

District 6 Councilwoman Jane Hague said a majority on the council held off on further cuts until they had a better sales tax revenue forecast, which is now projected to add $26.7 million this biennium, to be put toward transit service hours.

BPD takes down Eastside car theft suspect in Lake City Stolen vehicles from Enatai, Kirkland found; K-9 tracked man down

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A Bellevue Police investigation into a high-profile Eastside car thief led its special enforcement and SWAT teams to Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood last Friday, where 20-year-old Brian Beasley was arrested and two stolen vehicles were recovered.

The Bellevue Police Special

Enforcement Team identified Beasley as a suspect in a rash of vehicle thefts on the Eastside and began surveilling him, eventually catching him driving around in a stolen vehicle, according to a BPD news release.

Detectives tracked Beasley to his Lake City home and attempted to arrest him when he left his residence last Friday, but the Seattle man fled on foot, the release states.

A Kirkland K-9 unit was brought in and located Beasley hiding in a nearby yard.

Goat where the work is

Brandon Macz, Bellevue Reporter

Don Cruickshank called in The Goat Lady to landscape a Bellevue yard to allow him to begin an extensive remodel on the Crossroads home. More than 40 goats tackled his blackberry bushes.

Couple uses free-range landscaping in Bellevue

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Don Cruickshank bought a fixer-upper in Bellevue’s Crossroads neighborhood, but couldn’t start remodeling until something was done about the pesky mass of blackberry bushes in the backyard.

A manned crew gave him a quote to do the work, but Cruickshank said he found goats to be cheaper. Plus, they haul the blackberry bushes away in their stomachs — minus what they lose in bathroom breaks.

“They’ll only be here long enough to eat, and then they’ll go home,” said Cruickshank, who bought the rundown property on 156th Avenue Northeast and plans to move there from Mercer Island with his wife after a $60,000 remodel. “I have about 30 goats in my backyard having breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

That number was actually more than 40,

plus nine baby goats and some sheep to focus on the lawn, said Josh Farmer, as he watched the suburban herd gnawing on blackberry bushes last Friday. He co-owns The Goat Lady LLC in Duvall with his wife, Jill Johnson, who also teaches at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland.

“We started it out, it was two goats and a joke,” Farmer said of the business, which began with a blackberry patch problem of his own. The Duvall couple purchased two goats through Craigslist, and then got the idea to rent goats out when people started asking questions about their hungry help.

“We put (an ad) on Craigslist for fun — once — and it just went nuts.”

There are four goat landscaping businesses in Washington state, Farmer said.

The Goat Lady’s residential rates start at $350 for 25 goats the first day and $325 each additional day. Residential customers are 95 percent of the Duvall couple’s business.

“Most of the time it’s the lady of the house who brings us in,” Farmer said.

“She’ll find her husband will just zone out and, at that point, this is his ranch.”

Humane society hits funding milestone for new shelter

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Seattle Humane Society used its Tuxes & Tails gala last Saturday to announce reaching its financial goal to start its public fundraising campaign for a new shelter and veterinary teaching hospital in Bellevue.

Counting pledges made the night of the gala, SHS has raised more than $21 million to construct the new three-story, 54,000-square-foot facility at its current site west of the Eastgate Park and Ride.

The nonprofit plans to begin construction around this same time next year and has already started the permitting process with the city.

“We were confident enough at the March (SHS) board meeting to go ahead with our permit application,” said David Loewe, SHS chief executive officer.

The public campaign aims to bring SHS to $25 million in funding, but Loewe said the total construction cost will likely be around $30 million. SHS has also issued a $5 million private placement bond. The nonprofit has been in a quiet fundraising phase since 2013.

Opened in the 1970s, the Bellevue shelter is tight on space, taking in more than 3,500 pets from other shelters on top

of handling its own needs on the Eastside.

SHS adopted out more than 7,000 pets last year, and has a goal of reaching 10,000 adoptions annually with the new facility.

Dogs coming into the shelter stay 10 days on average before being adopted while cats wait about 20 days.

“It takes so much load off these smaller shelters,” Loewe said. “There’s still a lot of euthanasia in eastern Washington.”

Shelter animals do have to deal with confined space, he said, with cats staying in 24- to 30-inch “cubbies.” The new facility, which is designed to meet the latest in nationally recommended animal shelter specifications, will place cats in 6-footwide cubbies.

Currently, the Bellevue shelter lacks the electrical capacity to add a dishwasher and has had a number of breakdowns with its laundry facilities, sending volunteers to laundry mats to tackle its 60 commercial loads daily.

That lack of electrical capacity also means no X-ray machine. Loewe said the new facility will have digital and dental Xray machines, which will be necessary for its integration of Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine into its teaching hospital. SHS currently rotates three WSU students through its facility every two weeks.

(Top) This rendering shows what the new Seattle Humane Society Bellevue shelter and teaching hospital will look like once it’s constructed. SHS has raised more than $21 million, so far. (Bottom) This image shows what the new lobby will look like following construction.

“They actually have to have a lottery system to see who fills up the slots,” Loewe said, “it’s that popular.”

The new facility is expected to be able to accommodate WSU’s desire to send classes of up to 130 students through SHS’s teaching hospital as part of its veterinary

curriculum. The new facility’s teaching hospital will be across from the shelter’s vet center, with students learning by using shelter animals to perform check-ups and other services.

Contractor Abbott Construction expects building the new shelter and teaching hospital will take 12-14 months once permits are issued. Portions of the current shelter will remain operational during construction, with that activity being confined to the north side of the property on Southeast 32nd Street and business continuing on Eastgate Way Southeast, Loewe said. Noise mitigation will be used to avoid stressing animals at the shelter.

“We have to keep the pets going here, of course.”

A ferry’s odyssey from Lake Washington to San Francisco Bay

BY ANNIE SUTTER SAUSALITO HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Reporter’s Note: Just how did a Lake Washington steam ferry with a native American name end up in California with a Spanish name festooned across her decks? The ferry was built right here in the Eastside neighborhood of Houghton, on Lake Washington, in 1914. But from an ill-fated launch to an end a thousand miles south decades later, the little ferry ended up having at least three lives.

Her story is told below by Sausalito historian Annie Sutter in an excerpt from her upcoming book.

However, it was also mentioned that the wind whistled through the planking, and the maple dance floor had curled up, and “the boat was gracefully sinking.”

Progress inevitably crept up to the old ferryboat as developers finally secured permits to build a houseboat marina. In 1977 construction began on a dock that would carry her name, which brought a new kind of waterfront dweller and a new kind of waterfront living; ordered, comfortable, with amenities, utilities, stable walkways and sturdy gangways. As the dock grew, new vessels were towed into the new berths, some architect designed and custom built, some the same built-upon, haphazard structures that had been there before there was a dock. A new kind of community emerged as professional people, executives and retirees with money to spend got on board, one filled with neatly maintained, whimsical and colorful homes, with shapes ranging from short and boxy to tall and thin and elegant.

he Issaquah had quite a history behind her when she was retired from service on San Francisco Bay in 1948. The pretty little 114-foot ferry with twin smokestacks and pilot houses was said to be revolutionary for the times, being the first, and last, privately owned inland waterway, double-ended steam ferryboat.

And she sported a maple dance floor. Affectionately known as “Squash,” she was built in Houghton, Washington and launched with great fanfare on Lake Washington in March 1914. With appropriate banners and festivities involving both the mayors of Seattle and Issaquah, as she went down the launching ways, her 9’ draft proved too deep for the lakeshore bottom, and, in front of dignitaries making speeches, Issaquah nose-dived into the mud and got stuck there until the next day. It was perhaps a premonition of things to come, eight decades later.

By May 1914, she was serving ports on Lake Washington, and in between scheduled runs, was used as a floating and cruising dance hall and party center. But in just a few years, competition from the state-owned ferry system put her out of business, and in 1918 Issaquah was purchased by the newly formed Rodeo/Vallejo Line of San Francisco Bay. She was retired from service in 1948 and laid up, “mothballed,” at Vallejo. There are differing accounts of how Issaquah was brought to Sausalito — it may have been one of the active salvors engaged in turning derelict vessels into money making scrap, or perhaps it was the artist Jean Varda, but it was Donlon Arques who ended up with the ferry and settled her into a slot at the side of Gate 6 Road in the heart of all the new activity burgeoning in what had become called “The Gates.”

After two decades of lying at the side of Gate 6 Road, Issaquah became a deteriorated victim of benign neglect and the inevitable decaying of an aging wooden structure.

She sagged in the middle — “hogged” it’s called when the middle of a vessel sags — and she sank deeper and deeper into the mud, lower decks awash at high tide, yet was still inhabited by a hardy community of waterfront dwellers.

At 114’, the vessel could house 10-12 persons comfortably on the upper deck in small bedrooms tucked away in cubbyholes, and considerably more in flop-house mode, which was often, as past tenants dropped by, and new arrivals settled in. The private accommodations were the two pilot houses on the top. The lower deck, open space where cars had once been carried, was awash at high tide

More money for everyone except for those who might need it

S

tate lawmakers learned Wednesday they are getting a raise.

So will Gov. Jay Inslee.

And even indicted state Auditor Troy Kelley will earn more this fall — if he returns to his job.

They all can thank the Washington Citizens’ Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials, which approved pay hikes for state elected officials Wednesday morning.

Lawmakers, whose last pay hike came in 2008, will receive an 8 percent increase Sept. 11 and another 3 percent in September 2016. This will boost their annual pay from $42,106 to $46,839.

Leaders of the four caucuses earn more due to their added responsibilities.

The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader will make $55,738 while the House and Senate minority leaders will see their earnings rise to $51,288.

Commissioners also agreed to give 4 percent raises to the governor, secretary JERRY CORNFIELD of state, attorney general and auditor, 5 percent to the superintendent of public instruction and lieutenant governor, 6 percent to the insurance commissioner, 7 percent to the commissioner of public lands and 12 percent to the treasurer.

There was no discussion whether to exclude the auditor’s job until the situation with Kelley is resolved.

Commissioner Sarah Mahoskey of Snohomish explained afterward that the panel didn’t consider singling him out because their focus was always on the positions and not the people in them.

Commissioners approved 6 percent increases for all judges and added an extra 1.5 percent for the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Letters Many speak against Energize Eastside It was an impressive showing of about 200 people speaking against the Eastside Energy (PSE)’s project proposals to build high-powered energy lines above our neighborhoods from Redmond and Kirkland to Renton. This project proposes to answer future energy. Those speaking tonight questioned the accuracy of the study for energy needs, safety issues, such as building near gas lines, and hidden costs to citizens from accidents, taxes used to send electricity to Canada, and home devaluation, from pole and wire eyesore to loss of our beautiful Bellevue trees and wildlife in our neighborhoods (currently happening in south Bellevue as stated in past Bellevue Reporter letters).

It was great to have the EIS meetings for citizens to speak out; it just seems it should have come a little sooner as there was great expertise tonight. I do hope the resounding comments tonight are heard by all city council members effected by this proposal. We need to see more data

and not just go ahead with a possible unneeded project that could cost citizens money and safety in the long wrong.

Thank you to all who spoke and for those who donated to the cense project. I think we all will be keeping an eye on this project. For more information, contact PSE for their eye view and look at the CENSE.org website.

Marlene Meyer

PSE analysis for more transmission capacity need is ‘incomplete’ PSE’s studies that show a need for Energize Eastside assume that no local generation plants are operating during an infrequent arctic winter event. This is an unrealistic assumption, because many of those generators were acquired by the company to serve exactly this scenario. The report by the Independent Technical Analyst studied a scenario where about half the generators were turned on, and it found that the need for Energize Eastside was reduced, but not eliminated. We would like a study that shows what happens when all the generators are turned on.

This is the normal way to conduct such a study, so we’re not asking for anything unusual.

PSE’s studies also assume a huge amount of power is being transmitted to Canada. Canada doesn’t need this power, and could be compensated in other ways. Bellevue’s analyst studied what would happen if no electricity was flowing to Canada during these emergencies, and concluded that 80 percent of the system overloads would disappear. We ask ColumbiaGrid to explain why PSE’s customers are exclusively responsible for paying for Canada’s electrical service.

Finally, we remind PSE and ColumbiaGrid that they are required to plan the grid as if it belonged to one utility. There is already an underutilized 230 kV transmission line through the Eastside. ColumbiaGrid identified it as the best choice to serve Canadian electricity. However, this option was inexplicably taken ssoff the table when PSE said they wanted to build a second 230 kV transmission line, parallel to the first one, about a mile to the east. This is not something a single utility could justify, and therefore it is not allowable under current regulations.

Parks board passes Bovee Park name change to council Two recommendations to be considered next week

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue parks board is recommending the city council consider two public figures from Northtowne’s past to be honored in the renaming of Bovee Park.

While there was no reluctance on the board to rename the park, named more than 50 years ago after Bellevue’s first mayor, Charles Bovee, its members — none of whom live in Northtowne — questioned for some time Tuesday whether work was moving too fast.

Bovee was alleged in 1959 to have molested children, which led to his arrest and eventual exile from the city to avoid prosecution. The city council decided in February to honor the request of alleged victim Kasia Wilk and change the name. Following

adding transit service. That revenue came from a threetenths of a percent sales tax approved in 2000 to allow Metro and local governments to design their own

a public hearing before the parks board, its members were slated to provide the council with a renaming recommendation in time to make a final decision on May 18.

“In here, it seems like a top-down approach that’s all of a sudden,” said Stuart Heath, parks board member. He called for a two-month delay to allow the Northtowne Community Club and city to conduct more neighborhood outreach. “My comment would be, let’s do this right.”

Board member Kathy George said she felt

services. Bellevue had once wanted a circulator route downtown, but an agreement was never reached, she said, nor was any deal reached with this plan.

“We figured — after eight years — let’s put it to work,” Hague said.

The county council also

budgeted $12 million this biennium — $ 6 million each year — to be used to negotiate replacing lost service in places like Mercer Island, which had five of its six Metro routes cut last year. The council is still working to see if this plan can be implemented or run

a SurveyMonkey online survey that lasted from May 1-10 and the public hearing represented the desires of the neighborhood.

From the top-voted names in the survey, George recommended former city councilmember Georgia Zumdieck, who had been a strong activist for her Northtowne neighborhood. She died in 1998.

George also argued the city lacks parks — and other public facilities — named after women, adding the allegations against Bovee warrants naming the Northtowne park after a female figure like Zumdieck.

“The history of Mr. Bovee is one where a young female was victimized — maybe more than one victim, based on the reports I’ve read,” George said.

Board Chairwoman Sherry Grindeland received positive reception from the board when she proposed renaming the Crossroads Community Center after Bellevue’s first female mayor, Nan Campbell.

Campbell had strong ties to that neighborhood and advocated for Crossroads on a trial basis in participating communities, Hague said.

Seattle residents also passed Prop 1 last year to cover $13 million in Metro services in the city annually. Voters will have the opportunity to reauthorize the measure when it expires in six years.

Of the $89 million the county plans to use to add 69,000 transit service hours, the county expects to spend $54 million to add 44 buses to its fleet, as well as hiring new bus operators. The county council was told last October financial strategies

Park, but Northtowne residents told the board on April 28 the former mayor and city councilmember was not liked for also advocating for expanding the downtown central business district further north. Grindeland said her idea might be a solution for both neighborhoods to honor their respective influential person.

The board settled on recommending either Zumdieck or historic Northtowne resident Roland “Rody” Burrows, who was born in 1907 and lived in a cabin on what is now 112th Avenue Northeast. His grandfather was Bellevue pioneer Albert Burrows, who donated land for the city’s first school.

Burrows was another top-voted name in the survey.

The public will have an opportunity to weigh in during open communications before the city council at 8 p.m. Monday, May 18. The city is asking those wishing to submit written comments to email them to parksweb@bellevuewa.gov for distribution to councilmembers before the meeting.

like cutting bus purchases and Metro’s workforce — and other efficiencies — reduced Metro’s proposed cuts by 200,000 hours.

Hague said the council is considering purchasing a number of smaller buses and taking advantage of its ability to contract out 3 percent of its bus routes — for things like dial-a-ride services — to pay contract drivers to drive those at a lower rate than Metro drivers.

County councilmembers in the Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee will likely discuss County Executive

Dow Constantine’s implementation plan for additional transit service in early June, which means it could be until September before transit service hours are added. According to a county news release, about a third of the 69,000 added hours are expected to take effect in September, and the remaining two-thirds in March, contingent on Metro being able to purchase enough buses and hire enough operators.

Republic Services, Cleanscapes gave heavily in 2013 Councilmembers say campaign contributions didn’t affect solid waste contract decision

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue City Council took heat two years ago when it approved renewing a solid waste disposal contract with Republic Services for $2 million more than competing Cleanscapes had offered. While Cleanscapes appeared to cost less, Republic Services paid more in campaign financing contributions to councilmembers who made the deciding vote.

The city’s 10-year contract with Republic Services was slated to expire in June 2014, prompting the council to look around for other service providers in 2013.

Republic Services provided a bid

to renew its services for seven years at $19.8 million, while Cleanscapes came in lower at $17.9 million.

When the council directed staff during its Sept. 9, 2013 study session to proceed with a contract with Republic Services — its proposal estimated to be $2.70 per month higher for a residential customer than its competitor — Cleanscapes wanted Bellevue to reconsider. The company further alleged illegal lobbying as an influencer.

The council voted 5-0 on Oct. 21, 2013 to direct the city manager to finalize a contract with Republic, councilmembers claiming its valuable service and not wanting to disrupt that

Councilmember John Chelminiak, senior manager at Waste Management, recused himself during the Oct. 21 vote and Kevin Wallace was absent.

“Here’s How Dr. Baek’s Drug-Free Approach Helps Golfers Improve Their Swing, Lower Their Handicap, and Play without Pain” Do Any Of These Conditions Affect Your Golf Game?

• • • • • • •

Back pain Sciatica Disc bulging/herniations Muscle spasms Lumbar facet syndrome Pinched nerves Leg weakness

Is your back pain ruining your golf game?

It starts out as just a twinge, but by the last 5 holes it becomes unbearable. You’re hesitant to really swing that new driver for all it’s worth – fearing that you’ll injure your back even worse. Or maybe you’ve had to stop playing golf completely because your back pain and sciatica are so bad.

Sure, you can numb the pain if you take enough Vicodin, Soma or some other pill. But the real problem is while you play through all “numbed up”, you are definitely injuring your back even more....without knowing it.

Friends May Tell You Back Pain Comes From a Bad Swing...They’re Wrong!

If your drives are getting shorter and shorter and your putts less smooth, it has more to do with your back than your swing.

Studies show that about one-third of touring PGA and LPGA players are playing with back pain right now. These pros have the best swing mechanics in the world, yet still have back pain!

In addition to that, another study conducted at the University of Calgary showed… “Pain-free golfers demonstrated over twice as much trunk flexion velocity on the downswing”.

This means the less back pain you have, the more flexible your spine is and the faster you can swing – hitting the ball straighter and farther.

My name is Dr. Steve Baek, owner of Blue Spring Chiropractic. Over the past few years we’ve helped hundreds of golfer’s in the area feel better, return to the course and hit longer, straighter shots.

I’m running a special 7-day offer for those golfers suffering with back problems. Until May 23, $79 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $200 for!

Why would I practically give away my services? Because patients tell me too often…

“I only wished I had found you sooner” This happens so often, I decided to do something about it and run this ad. Just call before May 23 and here’s what you’ll get…

An in-depth consultation about your health where I will listen…really listen.

A complete nerve, muscle and spinal exam to find the “cause” of your problem.

A full set of specialized x-rays to look for misalignments, bad posture, and joint degeneration… (NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100).

A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can map out your plan to better health.

I’ll answer all your most probing question about chiropractic and what it can do for you.

The appointment will not take long at all and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day either.

To take me up on this special offer, you must call 425644-7582 before May 23, 2015.

Our office is called Blue Spring Chiropractic and you can find us at 12811 SE 38� St. in Bellevue. (between Teriyaki Time and Nails and Spa.) Sincerely, Dr. Steve Baek, D.C.

While Wallace was not there for the vote on Oct. 21, his campaign did claim a $900 donation that day from Republic Services, for a final total of $1,800 coming from the garbage contractor, according to documents filed with the state Public Disclosure Commission. Republic executive Janet Prichard and area president Michael Huycke also each made $150 donations in early October 2013. The Banchero family gave more than $900 to Wallace’s 2013

transfer station in Northeast King County in writing as “political pandering at its worse.”

During a joint meeting of the Bellevue and Kirkland city councils on Monday, Eastside officials discussed collaborating to continue pushing King County to leave the option for another station on the table.

“We’ve said, ‘If we can find a site in Kirkland, we’ll have it,’ ” said Kirkland Councilmember Toby Nixon. “But not in Houghton.”

King County Councilmember Jane Hague told the Reporter Tuesday the solid waste division has a strategic plan for capital spending, however, transfer stations can cost as much as $160 million to construct. The draft plan includes analysis as to whether constructing another in Northeast King County is necessary, she said, adding a discussion by the county council is expected in June and a public hearing will be held before action is taken.

Bellevue was joined by eight of its neighboring cities in issuing a letter to King County Executive Dow Constantine, stating the draft report “is based on a combination of assumptions and strategies that are untested” and its regional support is “uncertain at best.”

Eastside cities are strongly questioning the county’s assumption that the region will reach a 70 percent recycling rate base by 2030. Residents won’t reach that prediction on their own, according to a letter from Bellevue City Manager Brad Miyake to Constantine on May 6. It may take mandatory collection requirements and reducing bulky waste fees in each city’s private hauling collection contract, the letter states.

“The 70% recycling goal assumption in and of itself is likely to require many more such actions by all cities, including mandates, bans and the funding of garbage ‘police,’ ” the letter continues. “There is no evidence and no assurances that cities will be willing to undertake such sweeping policy changes.”

Bellevue issued King County a conditional use permit in 2012 to construct

campaign.

Wallace told the Seattle Times in late September 2013 he had recently become aware of Cedar Groves’ involvement with Republic Services, so he would not weigh in on the solid waste contract, but confirmed having “a number of communications” with the vendor. According to Wallace’s 2013 campaign filings with the PDC, the now-deputy mayor also accepted $500 from Cleanscapes SEE CAMPAIGN, 9

a new Factoria recycling and transfer station north of the current site on the 13000 block of Southeast 32nd Street. That CUP did not address the impacts of King County’s new solid waste strategies, according to a letter from Bellevue Land Use Director Carol Helland to King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks Director Christie True on May 6.

The draft report proposes restricting times for self-hauling at the new station — expected to open up in less than a year — while also extending the hours the station is open to self-haulers each day.

Those times spill into Factoria’s peak traffic periods between 4-6 p.m., according to Hellands letter, adding hundreds of trips.

The draft report anticipates 230 weekday trips to the station will occur when the Houghton station closes, and 180 on Saturdays.

Should the county follow the draft report, the city will require a new CUP process be initiated to address traffic and environmental impacts based on an environmental impact statement. King County would also be anticipated to pay an updated traffic impact fee to the county of $5,000 per p.m. peak hour trip as of Jan. 16, 2016, if expanded usage needed to be approved at the Factoria station, according to Helland’s letter to True.

“The city will begin proceedings necessary to enforce the terms of the existing CUP approval should it become necessary,” Helland wrote of the city’s expectation the county comply with all necessary approvals and environmental reviews prior to expanding usage in Factoria.

“I don’t know how optimistic I am,” Balducci said of the county council changing its direction during Monday’s joint council meeting. “We’re coming to the end, so we always want to pick up the phone and try to have that conversation.”

Frank Young, Jr. had once been involved with the VFW. Rainbow Metals of Monroe has also been commissioned to shape Shay’s concept art into a bronze sculpture to sit on top of the monument, where a flagpole the size of a ship’s mast had once been propped.

The sculpture will be of a folded ceremonial casket flag on its squared top against part of a flag pole. The three bronze roses lying over the flag will also honor the three soldiers, much like VFW members once did at the monument every Memorial Day. “I had so many ideas,” Shay said. “Someone on the heritage council said, ‘You want to make sure it relates historically.’ ” Shay is still fundraising for the project, and hopes to have the sculpture sitting on the monument for a July 4 rededication ceremony, ideally in conjunction with a groundbreaking ceremony that day for completing the circle at Downtown Park.

“It has just been a fantastic five-year journey,” Shay told the Bellevue City Council Monday night.

Energize project needs new independent load forecast The “independent” analysis of PSE’s Energize Eastside Proj-

ect, performed by the City of Bellevue’s consultant, U. S. E., was disappointing in that it did not include a new independent load forecast for the Eastside.

What the consultant did was a review of the work PSE had done and found it to be reasonable.

However, important information was presented in the report about the location of the load growth driving the need for the Project.

It should be to no one’s surprise that this growth is the commercial load located primarily in downtown Bellevue and in the Bel-Red Corridor. But the area with the growth is NOT the area that will be impacted if the project as now planned is built.

This begs the question as to how the downtown load will be supplied from the Project. I have not seen any PSE plans for delivering power from the Project to the load in downtown Bellevue.

Perhaps the downtown load can be served more directly from the Sammamish and Talbot Hill Substations, preferably underground, as an alternative to building a 230 kV line through areas not providing the load growth driving the need for the line. Such an alternative should be addressed in the Project EIS that is just being scoped.

Honoring older Americans in May The Washington State Council on Aging is asking you to join us, and Gov. Jay Inslee, in honoring Older Americans during the month of May. Since 1963, the month of May has been historically designated to recognize the contributions of Older Americans. The theme of

this year’s celebration is “Get into the Act,” to focus on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communities, and making a positive impact in the lives of others.

This theme also reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act signed into law in July, 1965.

Older Americans Month offers an opportunity to emphasize how older adults can access the homeand community-based services they need to live independently in their communities. It is also an occasion to highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a difference in those communities.

Alzheimer’s Café offers equal portions of pizza and patience

BY DAN AZNOFF SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

The general manager of an Italian restaurant in the Crossroads Shopping Center said her staff is looking forward to hosting of the first Alzheimer’s Cafe in Bellevue almost as much as the patients and caregivers the experience is designed to serve.

Hayley Black is eager to open the doors to people with Alzheimer’s and dementia on May 26 between 3 and 5 p.m. at the Tutta Bella Neopolitan Pizzeria. If all goes well, Black hopes the café will become a regular event on

BUYING • SELLING

I AM HERE TO HELP BIDDING WAR EXPERT

the last Tuesday of each month. The event is also open to caretakers and family members of persons suffering with memory difficulties.

“We want our restaurants to do more than serve food.

Our goal is to nourish lives,” said Black. “The opportunity to host an Alzheimer’s café fits well with the mission of the company and the conviction of our staff.”

The idea of a public venue to bring together people suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia began in Europe and has quickly gained popularity in Western Washington.

The first café staged by Black was done in cooperation with the non-profit agency Full Life Care at the Tutta Bella restaurant in Columbia City. Additional cafés have been established at Tutta Bella locations in Issaquah, in Seattle on Westlake Avenue and in the Wallingford neighborhood. There are also regular cafes at Pagliacci Pizza in Edmonds and at Luther’s Table in Renton.

“The staff (at our other locations) tell us they look forward to the interaction with patrons who return month after month,” said Black. “Sometimes there are only six people. Other times we have 30 people show up and there is a line out the door.”

She said servers often request to work the afternoon shift to maintain the close ties they establish with patients

and caregivers. According to Black, some customers travel between restaurants for lunch two or three times per month so they can spend time with other people who understand the difficulties of dealing with a progressive neurological condition.

Ethan Crawford with the Bellevue network on Aging said the café has proven to be an exceptional way to enhance the lives of people with Alzheimer’s and dementia who are often reluctant to leave their homes.

“We’ve seen the positive results in other communities are wanted to bring an Alzheimer’s café to Bellevue,” said Crawford. “The casual atmosphere allows families to connect and socialize in a nonjudgmental environment.”

Attendance can vary, but Black said one thing that is guaranteed at each Alzheimer’s café is that everybody has a good time. Cafes in Seattle often includes musical entertainment provided by an individual with memory issues.

“Every job that relies on customer service can be a challenge,” said Black. “But the Alzheimer’s café is different.

Our wait staff finds it rewarding. They are not coming to work to sell something. It gives them all a chance to become a contributing part of the community.”

The Tutta Bella restaurant at Crossroads will dedicate a section of the restaurant to the Alzheimer’s café. Black said the menu will be simplified to six choices plus limited selections of beer and wine. Each patron will be given a nametag, and the name of the server will be posted on the table as a friendly reminder.

The café is being sponsored by Overlake Hospital, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Bellevue Network on Aging. The Tutta Bella restaurant is located near to the main entrance to the mall, adjacent to Starbucks and HalfPriced Books The general manager smiled when she pointed out that the mission of the Seattle-based restaurant chain is to “Create a memorable dining experience.”

“They’ll be able to get up over the sewer line much easier and it’s going to look much nicer,” Jensen said.

“The stream will be bypassed during construction. The contractor will be working in the dry creek bed.”

The city is also in the process of removing a culvert blocking fish passage in Yarrow Creek, near State Route 520, that was put in before the highway replaced the old Lake Washington Boulevard.

“It’s a very steep, corrugated metal pipe,” Jensen said, adding of the culvert’s removal, “It’s going to solve another little fish passage problem there, so it’s nice to kind of knock these little blockages off at a time.”

The city is continuing its work to ease the journey of migrating salmon this summer with a nearly $250,000 project to construct a roughened stream channel over deteriorating log weirs in Newport Creek.

The logs were used to create steps for fish to jump to in order to bypass an 84-inch King County Eastside Interceptor sewer pipeline placed across the creek in 1995. The creek flows into Coal Creek, upstream from Interstate 405. The city reports those weirs are no long passable, preventing fish from accessing 3,000 feet of habitat upstream in Newport Creek.

“When that was constructed, they had to build these fish weirs and they built them out of logs, so fish can jump over them log after log,” said Bruce Jensen, city project engineer for the utilities department. “They’re sort of deteriorating after about 20 years.”

The project, awarded to Mike Clung Construction for $247,500 earlier this month, is cleared to start as early as June 15 and must be completed by Sept. 30 to ensure fish migration isn’t affected, Jensen said. He added the project is not expected to take that long.

The roughened channel will cause the overall stream gradient to be lowered and adds new stream gravels, boulders, logs, root wads and a resting 1322580

Eastside Christian teen named first Future She-E-O Fennell won Fashion Angels competition with doll clothing, accessories business

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Allison Fennell just wanted to buy some more sketch portfolio silhouettes from one of her favorite product sites.

When her father saw Fashion Angels was holding a contest for young entrepreneurs, the Eastside Christian student decided to enter — the first big challenge was keeping the application short.

“It definitely took a lot of effort, because there was not very much space at all,” said Fennell, who had to describe her part-time business of making and selling custom doll clothes and accessories.

The 13-year-old has been making doll clothes since she was about 7, but just last year tried selling them at a winter bazaar and then through her mother’s Facebook page. She now wants to get her own Etsy account.

“I really like designing things and I like, obviously, seeing what I design made and helpful to people,” Fennell said.

The Newport Rocketry Club took second place in the Team America Rocketry Challenge just outside Washington, D.C., on May 9. The high school team was disqualified at last year’s event due to equipment failure, so club founder and Newport High School sophomore George Eller, shown left with trophy, said he had something to prove this year. The Newport Rocketry Club also took home $15,000 in scholarships and $1,000 for the high school.

Fennell was just one of five finalists selected by Fashion Angels for its She-E-O competition, which took place April 21 in Milwaukee, Wis., where she showcased her products and answered questions from judges.

“I did make a ton of things before, because I didn’t have a lot of inventory on hand,” Fennell said, adding it helped to have all of the competitors showing off their businesses together. “It was still kind of comforting that they were doing the same thing and probably just as nervous as me.”

While the track athlete admits she doesn’t like standing in one place too long, Fennell’s patience paid off and her Pink & Green (formerly her two favorite colors) business beat the competition, making her Fashion Girl’s first Future She-E-O. Fennell wants to continue pursuing fashion and design, but could put the $10,000 college scholarship she won toward pursuing a career in law.

“Being a lawyer would be really interesting,” she said.

Report to the Community May 2015

Cascade Water Alliance provides safe, clean and reliable water to its members through partnerships ensuring water for today. But it is also creating a lasting legacy by continuing a lean, nimble governance model of regional collaboration, leadership and effective, efficient public resource management.

And we are enhancing our future regional water source Lake Tapps in east Pierce County for eventual water use.

This year Cascade repaired the 100 plus year old system so it will be ready for future use. We’ve fixed the barrier dam and replaced the headgates and 2,300 feet of timber flume with a new concrete flume. We’ve repaired the conveyance system that runs from the White River to the reservoir and back to the river and we are now refilling the reservoir. Why? Because although we don’t need that water now planning for future infrastructure takes years to design and build.

The result of these projects will be a more reliable and predictable system for decades into the future. When you turn on the tap, you will have water today… and tomorrow.

Cascade replaced a crumbling flume with a new cement one to get water to Lake Tapps.

and tomorrow

Using Water Wisely Wise water use today means we can delay future infrastructure development by using every drop of water available in the region before developing new sources.

Cascade and its members in 2014 did just that—they saved approximately 65 million gallons of water, 1.8 million kilowatt hours of energy and avoided one million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

Cascade’s program strives to lower regional water demand, particularly in summer, or peak season, so that Cascade can delay or defer development of the White River / Lake Tapps Project or other sources of new water supply.

Cascade offered 30 Cascade Gardener classes that drew more than 725 attendees, provided 423 water education programs to 10,509 students at local schools, trained local schools, parks district staffs, builders, retailers and even horticulture students about wise water use. We educated our residents at local fairs and events, and provided free water saving items.

Cascade and its members’ goal is a cumulative savings of 0.6 million gallons per day on an annual basis and 1.0 mg per day on a peak season basis by 2020. We’re well on our way to exceeding that goal.

Working together to fix toilet leaks, use water efficient appliances in kitchens and bathrooms and improving your irrigation systems really does make a difference.

Here’s how...

An Energy Star certified dishwasher may only use a few gallons per cycle.

It’s still important to run only full loads.

WaterSense certified faucets provide plenty of flow for washing hands or brushing your teeth, but save thousands of gallons per year compared to older faucets.

www.bellevuereporter.com

May 15, 2015 [15]

Rainwater catchment takes advantage of our plentiful rainfall and can be used for watering plants or for flushing toilets, saving thousands of gallons of valuable drinking water per year for better uses.

Front loading clothes washers with the Energy Star label not only save huge amounts of water and energy, but they clean your clothes better with much less wear and tear on the fabrics. It’s still important to run only full loads.

A WaterSense certified toilet uses a little more than one gallon per flush, but gets the job done.

The flapper valve inside the toilet tank eventually wears out and will allow leakage.

It’s important to check for leaks at least once each year. You can drop a leak detection tablet (available free from Cascade) into the toilet tank or use a few drops of food coloring. Wait ten minutes without flushing and if you see color in the bowl, the flapper is leaking and should be replaced.

A WaterSense showerhead has been tested and certified for performance as well as efficiency. WaterSense showerheads provide plenty of flow, but still keep your water use low.

Landscapes designed with deep, healthy soil and hardy plants are beautiful and will need little to no water beyond rainfall and far less chemical inputs.

A WaterSense certified home may save a million gallons of water and thousands of dollars in reduced utility bills over the lifetime of the home.

Cascade is also part of the Central Puget Sound Water Supply Forum that is currently undertaking a regional resiliency project envisioned to help the water utilities of King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties take proactive steps in evaluating and enhancing this region’s water supply system resiliency.

The work will help determine how the region’s utilities can be better prepared for the impacts of significant system stresses and how utilities can continue to provide services to our region’s homes and businesses during and after such events.

Malbec from Heaven

BY ERIC DEGERMAN AND ANDY PERDUE GREAT NORTHWEST WINE

In the past half-decade, Malbec has become the darling of the Washington wine industry, and for good reason.

For centuries, Malbec has played little more than a minor role in its native Bordeaux, but the rich red wine has taken center stage in Argentina, where it now is considered the national wine grape. That same attitude is starting to take shape in Washington, where conditions would seem to turn Malbec into something magical.

In the arid conditions of the Columbia Valley American Viticultural Area (and the grapegrowing regions within it), Malbec is able to shine like almost no other location in the world. Rich red and black fruit shine behind bright acidity, moderate tannins and dark spices.

While Malbec is still a relatively minor grape as far as total acreage is concerned, more than 100 examples can be found in the Pacific Northwest — with the vast majority coming from Washington.

Here are some beautiful examples we've tasted in recent weeks from Washington (and the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley). Ask for them at your favorite wine merchants or contact the wineries directly.

J&J Vintners 2012 Les Collines Vineyard Malbec, Walla Walla Valley, $35: This young producer in Oregon's Walla Walla Valley is crafting several delicious wines, and this Malbec is a great example of the region's potential with the noble Bordeaux variety. This opens with aromas of ripe plum, black pepper and dark chocolate shavings. On the palate, it explodes with bold flavors of blackberry, dark plum and dark cherry. Firm tannins and bright acidity provide ample structure through the lengthy finish. (14.6% alc.)

William Church Winery 2012 Gamache Vineyards Malbec, Columbia Valley, $38: The 2011 version of this wine from this small Woodinville, Wash., producer was "best of the best" in last year's Wine Press Northwest Platinum Judging — and this new vintage is well on its way to being even better. Aromas of succulent dark fruit brood in the glass, and flavors of round, ripe blackberry and black cherry mingle with notes of dark chocolate and black pepper. Mild tannins and ample acidity give this gorgeous red wine tremendous length. (14.4%

Kontos Cellars 2012 Summit View Vineyard Malbec, Walla Walla Valley, $42: Cameron Kontos, second-generation Walla Walla winemaker, used grapes from Summit View Vineyard to craft this gorgeous Malbec, which ended up the best of class in this year's Great Northwest Wine Competition. It opens with aromas of boysenberry, molasses and black pepper. On the palate,

it provides intensely dark flavors of espresso, dark plum and Baker's chocolate. It's all backed with pliable tannins. (14.7% alc.)

"Onions get chopped and garlic gets smashed when Vietnamese-born Thoa Nguyen does battle with high-end chef Jason Hippen. Chefs Anne Burrell and Scott Conant decide who has the cuisine to reign supreme,” according to the episode description.

The competition format pits professional chefs against one another for the opportunity to do battle with Flay. Nguyen had previously been invited to appear on “Top Chef.” Her restaurants include Chinoise Cafe in the Issaquah Highlands and Wabi Sabi Sushi Bar in Seattle.

Nguyen was born in Saigon, was raised in Cho Lon, the city's Chinatown district, and moved to the U.S. in 1975, at age 11.

She lives in Mercer Island with her husband Barry and their two children.

She has just signed a lease for another restaurant, this time in Bothell.

Stanford University lands Bellevue star Stanchi

BY SHAUN SCOTT

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Super Bowl Sunday was a special day for Bellevue Wolverines senior water polo player Marco Stanchi this past February.

Stanchi, who signed his letter of intent with the Stanford University water polo program on Feb. 4, made up his mind three days before (Feb. 1) officially signing on the dotted line during a signing ceremony at Bellevue High School.

“Once I made my decision, that is when I called the other schools who were recruiting me to let them know I was going to Stanford,” Stanchi said.

The Air Force Academy, UCLA and the University of California (Berkeley) were the other schools clamoring for Stanchi’s services.

Stanchi, who thrives not only in the pool but also has a 3.96 cumulative GPA, said Stanford University is the perfect fit for him athletically and academically. He isn’t sure what kind of degree he wants to pursue as an undergrad but says he definitely has a long-term goal of attending law school.

“When I went on my recruiting trip, I got the chance to attend one of their classes. They are big on creativeness and believe no idea is a stupid idea. I enjoyed the cooperative, collaborative learning environment,” Stanchi said. “Water polo-wise there was something about the group of players I liked. They are serious about academics and water polo. It’s just a great balance and that was very appealing to me.”

The Stanford University men’s water polo program is held in high regard across the nation.

Genius, pioneer, enigma—Steve Jobs was a true and fascinating icon who changed the face of technology forever. Oscar®-winning documentarian Alex Gibney plugs into the mind behind silicon valley in this intimate and compellingly candid profile.

“I want to win national Championships. Stanford hasn’t won a national title since 2002. The last two years in a row they’ve finished in third place. Last year they lost in the semi-finals by one goal in overtime. I can’t wait to be part of the team,” Stanchi said.

The past four seasons as a Wolverine is something Stanchi will cherish for the rest of his life.

“The Bellevue water polo program made me fall in love with water polo. They got me started,” he said.

“Winning the state title last year was great. I know us as seniors wanted to be able to keep the legacy going.

We didn’t want to be that team that killed the dynasty.

We asserted our dominance last year and we’re glad we kept the dynasty alive.”

The fact Stanchi will play water polo at the highest level of collegiate athletics is remarkable considering his background in the sport. Flashback to just a mere four years ago: Stanchi had never played water polo in his life. He was an avid swimmer and baseball player during his childhood.

Stanchi said he didn’t try water polo until his freshman year of high school. Once he started the sport of water polo, he gave up baseball for good but continued on the swim team.

“I’m a really competitive person. When I start a new sport, I want to be really good at it. I put in a lot of work and took every opportunity I could to get better.

It paid off for me,” Stanchi said. “I’m honestly still kind of in shock I will be playing for Stanford. I don’t think Photo courtesy of Evan Kaseguma it has fully sunk in yet.”

Bellevue Wolverines senior Marco Stanchi will continue his water polo career at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

Parrish is a spectacular sprinter Interlake track star De’Jhion Parrish has clocked blistering times in the 100-meter dash during the 2015 track season and is one of the contenders to reach the Class 3A state meet at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma in late May

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

For the past two years, Interlake Saints football player De’Jhion Parrish was the fastest man on the gridiron for the majority of his games.

In his first-ever season competing in high school track and field, things haven’t changed much for Interlake’s speedster. Parrish, who clocked a 10.94 electronic time in the 100-meter dash in early April, said his best attribute is the way he finishes races. Having top-end speed is something that helped Parrish immensely on the football field on breakaway runs and also gives him an edge in the final 10-20 meters of the races he partakes in.

“I feel a little bit slow coming out of the blocks. I think top-end speed is my best strength,” Parrish said. “As a sprinter, you have to be disciplined. To maintain your speed, you have to have good hand motion, full control of your body and control of your momentum.”

Interlake sprint coach Nick Lombardo said Parrish is a natural sprinter who has the skills to win a state title in the Class 3A 100-meter finals this May at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

“There is a lot of fast guys out there but he is definitely in that group. He can compete with anybody,” Lombardo said.

Lombardo said Parrish has worked hard on fine tuning his running form.

“We’ve been getting him to not look so much like a football player when he runs.

He’s learned to keep his elbows in and how to drive with his head down,” Lombardo said. “He’s such a natural at it.”

Lombardo said the Saints coaching staff has been careful of late with Parrish due to his injured groin. Parrish typically competes in just two events per meet because of the injury. “(Parrish) should be ready for KingCo and move through districts just fine,” Lombardo said. “He will be at the big dance at the end, if he can remain healthy and be ready to run at full go all of the time.”

Parrish competed at the Class 3A KingCo track meet at Juanita High School today in Kirkland. As of press time, results of this meet were unavailable.

Parrish said he hadn’t competed in track since the eighth grade. Carrying the football between the white lines of the gridiron is vastly different from sprinting on the oval.

“In football you have to worry about who is coming after you. In track, when you come out of the blocks, all you have to do is stick to your zone. You can’t focus on everybody else because if you do that, it slows you down,” Parrish said. “That has been one of the hardest adjustments for me.”

Parrish knows his blistering 10.94 time in the 100 is something the Interlake High School student body takes pride in.

“I always put pressure on myself. I’m pretty sure everyone around my school is expecting me to win (first place at state meet in the 100) but there is a lot of fast people in the state of Washington. I don’t want to disappoint people,” he said. “I’m going to try the best I can.”

Knights win tennis title

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Going into the 2015 season Newport Knights tennis head coach Ryan Pang believed his team had the talent to win a Class 4A KingCo regular season championship.

Close to two months later, Pang’s dreams were realized.

The Newport Knights put together an undefeated record of 8-0 in Class 4A KingCo League play, winning their first regular season KingCo tennis championship since 2011.

Skyline finished in second place with a 7-1 record while Eastlake nabbed a third place finish with a 6-2 record.

“The fact that Newport hasn’t won it since 2011, it’s kind of a big deal,” Pang said. “All of the upperclassmen were excited as heck about us winning the league title. The younger players on the team, I don’t think they have realized how big of a deal this was for us.”

Pang said the freshmen class consisting of four varsity players was the key to his team’s success during the 2015 season.

“Most of the freshmen play singles and most of the upperclassman play doubles. The first couple of weeks of the season was interesting because we were trying to figure out the lineups,” Pang said. “Once we got the doubles teams figured out and situated where everyone was comfortable in their spots it just made things so much easier for us. We had so much depth relative to some of the other teams we played against in KingCo.” The Knights competed in the Class 4A KingCo tournament on May 14 at Skyline High School in Sammamish. As of press time, results of this contest were unavailable.

“I think we will do well,” Pang said a few days before the tournament. “There is only two spots for singles and two doubles teams from KingCo who will reach the state tournament.

It is going to be a battle in every way.”

Pang expects Newport No. 1 singles player Vivian Glozman to advance to the state competition with ease.

“Vivian will take one of those spots in singles for sure. Everything else is just up for grabs. Doubles play is a little more unpredictable because with doubles anything can happen,” Pang said. “If a doubles team gets hot, they can go pretty far, and if a team can get really nervous, it could adversely effect the outcome. Usually the teams that win in doubles aren’t the ones with the best players; they are the ones who are the most teamwork oriented.”

Pang hopes to see as many athletes as possible punch their ticket to the state competition.

“We’re hoping to get as many to state as we can. If we can do that, we have a shot at potentially winning state as a team,” he said.

(“Paired” is the tech term for the wireless connection between a computer/computerized device and another device via Bluetooth wireless technology.)

Website helps parents pick and book summer camps

By Samantha Pak Redmond Reporter

Last spring, when Helen Wang was trying to figure out her two sons’ summer camp schedules, she found the experience frustrating and overwhelming.

With most camps lasting a week, the Redmond resident said that made for anywhere from 10-20 camps to schedule — depending on whether the boys attended the same or separate camps. Wang said she had to visit each site for dozens of camps to see if they would fit into her family’s schedule, her sons’ interests and if they were conveniently located. And once the couple figured out where to send their sons, there were the registration forms to fill out for each camp.

“That really drove me nuts,” Wang said as the forms all asked for the same type of information.

She also tried to coordinate a carpool with a friend whose children would be attending one of the same camps as her sons — only to realize the dates were off by a week.

All of these frustrations led Wang to do something to address the issue.

That something is 6crickets.com, a website that launched in March and is designed to make selecting and scheduling summer camps for parents much easier. With just a few clicks, parents can search for camps that their children would be interested in, fit into their schedules and are geographically convenient. In addition, parents can register using a universal form that would be accepted by most of the camps and for many, pay with the click of the mouse.

In short, she said, parents can do most everything they need in one place — and even share schedules to set up carpools.

Wang said the site now has about 40 camp providers listed in their database and is working to add more.

“6crickets is also beneficial for (camp) providers as it is another place for them to get the word out about their programs,” she said.

Ask Senator Andy Hill... ?

Why does his budget fail to invest enough in our local schools?

Andy Hill’s budget* falls far short of fully funding K-12 public schools, including STEM and programs for struggling students.

?

Why is he restricting local control of our schools and increasing class sizes?

Hill is sponsoring legislation+ that limits our ability to invest local funds to reduce class sizes. His budget also guts the class size initiative approved by one million voters last November. His plan would also eliminate our local ability to fund teachers for classes like AP and IB courses.

Educators have gone six years without a state cost-of-living increase.

Hill’s budget includes a small 3 percent COLA over the next two years with no change in health care support. Educators have not seen an increase in health care funding in five years. Given rising health care costs, many educators will see their paychecks go down. (Meanwhile, Hill and other legislators are slated to get an 11 percent raise, and more money for health care.)^

Call Senator Hill at 800-562-6000 & Tell Him: • Don’t raise our kids’ class sizes • Don’t cut our teachers’ pay • Don’t restrict local support for our schools Paid for by the 85,000 members of the Washington Education Association
