PSE hits roadblock with substation reliability project East Bellevue council rejects permit application

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The East Bellevue Community Council found more than a dozen legal arguments for opposing Puget

Sound Energy’s redundancy project between its Lake Hills and Phantom Lake substations last Wednesday.

The EBCC’s unanimous rejection of a conditional use permit and

shoreline CUP application — approved by the city council in May — means PSE has two more weeks to file an appeal in King County Superior Court.

PSE’s project would run a 115 kilovolt transmission line along a 2.89-mile route to connect the two substations. The energy company

Bellevue College scraps free speech zones School policies found in violation of state codes

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue College students will no longer be restricted to specified “free speech zones” on campus, after the Washington assistant attorney general found the college’s policies were contradicting state codes protecting the First Amendment.

Nonprofit legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom took the case after being contacted by a student organization that had had its peaceful protests shut down by school security over the last few months.

“Our mindset was that this is an institution of education. We’re supposed to talk about different ideas, in a peaceful manner,” said student John Richardson, president of the Young Americans for Liberty student group. “If speech is censored so highly here… How far will this be taken?”

Last month, Alliance Defending Freedom sent a letter to the college seeking clarification on the school policies regarding the zones. Multiple student groups have reported that they were prevented from gathering and speaking

City unveils design for I-90 greenway Construction could begin in March 2016 based on funding

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

The city unveiled design plans on June 25 for a section of the hiking and biking trail that will connect the Seattle portion of the Mountains to Sound Greenway to the rest of the state.

Phases one and two of the Bellevue section of the Greenway will run along the south section of I-90, and consist of a multi-use asphalt trail with sections of wooden canopies, seating and transit shelters.

Although it would run alongside I-90 and other busy roads, additional trees, a concrete retaining wall, and other measures would separate the Greenway.

Altogether, the 3.6-mile trail being planned would close a gap in the Mountains to Sound Greenway between Factoria and Lakemont Boulevards, also known as the “Eastgate Gap.” The Eastgate/I-90 corridor in particular will address a number of barriers for pedestrians and cyclists in the area, according to city officials.

In all, the Greenway is a 100-mile regional trail system surrounding I-90 from the Seattle Waterfront to Central Washington.

“This will be a playground for the region, from Seattle to Ellensburg,” said Mountains to Greenway Trust spokesperson Margaret Ullman-Hess.

The trust began planning for the trail more than 25 years ago in response to increasing urbanization across the state.

“We’re definitely pro-growth, because

The site’s designation as a heritage area would ensure the continuation of the working farms and forests, parks and open spaces, and recreation opportunities of the Greenway. Designation would also help strengthen tourism and outdoor recreation revenue streams, especially in rural communities, according to a trust statement.

“After we reached the 25-year mark, we started thinking about the next 25

years. We realized we needed to make this mission and project official, and we’re really hopeful about this legislation,” said Ullman-Hess.

The city hopes to finish the planning stage by the end of July, with tentative plans to begin construction in March 2016.

There is not currently funding for the construction of the Bellevue portion of the Greenway.

A rendering of one of the rest areas along the Eastgate section of the Mountains to Sound Greenway. it brings a lot of economic vitality to the region, but how it is done needs to be thoughtful so we don’t lose our greenery,” said Ullman-Hess. “Our goal is to have cities be livable.”

Despite Bellevue’s rapid growth over the last decade, city officials say there is adequate space for the greenway.

“Spacing isn’t an issue... If lack of space was an issue, we wouldn’t proposing to install a trail in this area,” said Chris Masek, senior design engineer for the city’s transportation department.

Federal legislation reintroduced on June 25 would designate the Mountains to Sound Greenway as a National Heritage Area, a key part of the Trust’s plan for the future of the development. Newly instated Executive Director Jon Hoekstra, who began at the Trust on Monday, June 29, will head the charge.

“Now is a critical time to secure this impressive legacy, and create the Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area,” said Hoekstra in a press release.

City posts online parks plan survey

It’s time again for the city to update its long-range park plan, and the city is seeking resident feedback through a 5-minute online survey.

The Bellevue Parks and Open Space System Plan is updated about every six year, the city council adopting the current plan in 2010. The city uses the plan to guid its acquisition and development of parks and trails. It also sets standards for park, trail and open space maintenance and operations.

Not worth it It is not surprising that there are fires burning in our state due to the extreme heat these last few weeks. As of this writing, there have been four major fires — the largest of which is a 14,000 acre fire in the Columbia National Wildlife refuge, near Royal City, Wash. Another big fire is burning near Winthrop, Wash., covering 3,500 acres. Both are just 50 percent contained.

And it seems that summer has just begun.

So, it is more than ironic that along with fire season, it is also fireworks season. According to the online magazine, Money, American consumers spend $13 million more on fireworks last year because July 4 fell on a Friday. This coming weekend, with the holiday designated for Friday July 3, sets up a three-day weekend of an increased risk of fires and injury.

The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission reported that fireworks were involved in an estimated 11,400 injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in 2013. In our state last year, there were 45 fire-related fatalities.

So why do we continue to allow consumer fireworks?

It seems that for many, blowing up explosives over the holiday is practically a Constitutional right. Yet exercising this right costs millions of federal and local dollars to fight fires and to treat victims. Local public safety organizations and hospitals are left to pick up the pieces.

So of course, fireworks are not responsible for all fires, big and small. But the risk — however small, is simply not worth it.

The Washington state Legislature has grappled for years to find enough more money to pay for schools. As our planet continues to warm, so will the incidence of fires.

Just how will we pay for that?

Why do we still allow the sale of consumer fireworks?

To the editor Kudos to East Bellevue Community Council

Opportunity lost on drought news

Having attended three hours of the five-hour East Bellevue Community Council meeting where PSE’s permit for the 148th Ave. S.E. transmission line was discussed and rejected, I can only say kudos to all five members of the EBCC. I listened as the members put forth, individually, their thoughts on this project, and I was awed by their integrity and intelligence. There was nothing glib in their approach-- only a nononsense discussion of the actual need and impact on the Eastside community of this proposal. I would vote for each and every one of them for Bellevue Council if they chose to run.

Given all the news and public information made available over the winter and spring months I was very surprised to read a story on the front page of the Bellevue Reporter from May 20, 2015 titled “Officials: Statewide drought emergency won’t be felt in Bellevue” (http://www.bellevuereporter.com/ news/304453921.html# ). My first response was the same as my second response — what an extreme case of irresponsible journalism!

To actually be almost “encouraging” Bellevue residents to use more water in the face of an obvious national and world “drought” situation would seem to be the worst sort of public message to be sending. As a Bellevue resident I certainly congratulate the Cascade Water Alliance and the City of Bellevue for their astute planning and forethought. It is definitely reassuring to know that we won’t have to “worry” about running out of water.

However, as we all know, the notion of “out of sight, out of mind” can be a dangerous one. “Not worrying” can lead to irresponsible usage patterns, which in turn can lead to bad habits regarding how to work with this precious resource over time.

The same Bellevue Reporter article even clearly states that Gov. Inslee has declared a statewide (yes, it says “statewide”) drought emergency due to the historically low snowpack.

I had almost forgotten about my anger and frustration about

Margaret Niendorff

Who made decision to allow Chick-fil-A at busy intersection?

This question could potentially have already been raised but I couldn’t help but reach out. The question is really two parts: 1. Who made the decision to place the Chick Fillet on the corner of 116th & 8th in Bellevue; one of the most gummed up corners in all of Bellevue??

2. Is the poor police officer that monitors traffic being paid directly

by Chick Fillet or are tax payer dollars paying for that work? Please say it is the former.

Sheh Fatemie

the Bellevue Reporter article until I received my water bill from the City of Bellevue this month. In the envelope along with the bill was a small sheet of paper with the headline “Expect a normal water summer.” There then followed 4 more paragraphs which reinforced the message that Bellevue residents can use water normally this summer in spite of the drought everywhere else. The flyer ended with a sentence reminding us to “…always use water wisely,” however this admonition as an afterthought seems likely to be wasted on most Bellevue residents.

What a great opportunity missed.

The Bellevue Reporter and the City of Bellevue, rather than seeking to reassure Bellevue residents and encourage excessive water usage, could have instead taken this a great opportunity to educate and suggest ways to conserve and to use water more frugally. They could have highlighted best practices from around the country and around the world and shown how residents can enjoy the benefits of the great water planning by the City of Bellevue, while at the same time practicing smart water usage. I’m not suggesting that the press should message doom and gloom and seek to create panic regarding water availability.

I am suggesting that they should communicate and talk responsibly about what, for the “rest of the world,” is a serious shortage and what will inevitably be, even for our shinning city of Bellevue, a shortage in the future, no matter how well we plan.

publicly at locations other than the two designated “free speech zones” on campus.

Students were told that the areas could only be used by one student group at a time and had to be booked 48 hours in advance.

“Free speech zones” were implemented at Bellevue College over time to meet student needs while recognizing students’ First Amendment rights, according to a BC spokesperson.

“The free speech zones on the Bellevue College campus have been selected to provide visibility for outside organizations wishing to share information with the college community while minimizing disruption of the college’s educational mission,” said BC Public Relations Manager Evan Epstein. Epstein noted that students were never limited to these areas in the past.

Since their onset, the zones have been a point of irritation for students.

Student groups have protested them in the past, including a group of five BC students

PSE

“It was quite involved,” said Community Councilmember Bill Capron of the EBCC’s work on the CUP and shoreline CUP. “I think we spent more time — accumulated — on that than the council did, the Bellevue City Council.

I think we made the right decision.”

Capron said the “big turning point” for him was when fellow Community Councilmember Betsi Hummer spoke out about PSE’s project not meeting the urban boulevard standard for 148th. Capron owns the Texaco station of the 100 block of 148th Avenue Northeast.

“The East Bellevue Community Council spent hundreds of hours on that back in the ‘70s,” he said, adding 148th Avenue’s aesthetic value is comparable to that of a park setting for the Lake Hills neighborhood, and would be lost through

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The route is proposed along Southeast 16th Street, 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street, causing contention in the Lake Hills neighborhood due to the need to remove nearly 300 mature trees. PSE has agreed to pay the city $856,000 to replace those trees and add more landscaping with a 5-year monitoring plan.

Residents began protesting the project several months ago, however, neither the city nor the community council could take public feedback, as a hearing examiner had approved PSE’s application last November. Both councils were required to either approve or reject the permit application based solely on a legal interpretation of the project and its compliance with city codes.

employees the right to “utilize the facility and grounds of the college to the fullest extent possible” and use forums for activities protected by the First Amendment.

Other states do not necessarily have such policies, and as a result, many colleges have restricted student speech.

Across the country, there are hundreds of colleges and universities with speech zone policies, said David Hacker, senior legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. Alliance has handled many freedom of speech cases, including ones on college campuses.

“We’ve seen many colleges that have these speech zones policies,” said Hacker. “We hope some of these other colleges can see what Bellevue has done and follow their lead.”

The college will be providing public safety and student services personnel with training on the First Amendment policy and its application, according to the letter sent by Ferguson.

“BC staff will be given a training prior to the start of fall quarter in an effort to ensure that all employees are up-to-date on these policies,” said Epstein.

who were inspired by a course assignment to protest the restrictions in 2013, according to BC student newspaper The Watchdog.

“We feel that it’s oppressing freedom of speech because it doesn’t really make any sense that you can only speak your mind in a specific area of the school,” student George Miller told The Watchdog at the time. The college can’t comment on specific cases such as this due to student confidentiality, Epstein said.

Richardson said the Young Americans group was first told they couldn’t protest outside of the free speech zones in March. He said the organization was harassed multiple times during peaceful campus activism, treated with hostility and threats by campus police and reprimanded by school faculty.

On April 6, campus security shut down the group’s protest of the free speech zones.

Afterward, Richardson said he met with two administrators who told him that student speeches and activities could only be held in the zones.

However, those regulations violate Washington Administration Codes.

State codes give college students and the erection of power poles.

“I think we had grounds to overturn the hearing examiner. I fully expect Puget Sound Energy to appeal it to the superior court.”

EBCC Vice Chairman Steve Kasner said the community council cited 16 findings in its unanimous decision to reject PSE’s application, adding the project made sense under certain portions of the city’s comprehensive plan and

didn’t in others.

“It was the toughest thing that I was ever involved in,” he said. “You want to do the right thing for your community.”

Puget Sound Energy issued a statement last Thursday, the energy company expressing its disappointment in the EBCC’s decision and its intent to continue working to secure electrical liability between the two substations.

Pipeline project to cause longterm lane reductions on 112th Avenue Southeast The city will reduce segments of 112th Avenue Southeast to one northbound and one southbound lane between Bellevue Way Southeast and north of Southeast Eighth Street starting Monday to replace existing primary sewer pipes with larger ones in response to growth in downtown Bellevue.

Bellevue Utilities will be working on the sewer pipeline project weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. hrough early 2016, with the potential for weekend and evening work.

Lane reductions will remain in place regardless. The city is warning motorists to expect traffic delays. At some point in the project, the intersection at 112th and 8th will be closed to turning traffic.

For more information, contact Jay Hummel at 425-452-4160 or jhummel@ bellevuewa.gov.

“By voting no, the EBCC is making a statement that electric reliability is not important to a community that has historically been vulnerable to lengthy power outages,” according to the statement. “Nearly all other Bellevue neighborhoods already have the level of

reliability that the Lake Hills-Phantom Lake project would bring to this east Bellevue area. PSE believes in providing reliable electric service to all of our customers, and as a result, we are evaluating our options in terms of next steps for the project.”

Artist Nathan Vincent returns to battle at the Bellevue Arts Museum ‘Let’s Play War!’ open through Oct. 18

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Though they move every night, shifting position and rising from the dead, the toy soldiers at the Bellevue Arts Museum are not alive — at least not anywhere beside the mind of their creator, New York-based artist Nathan Vincent.

The three-plus foot tall statues mark Vincent’s return to the Bellevue Arts Museum for his first solo museum installation — an installation of 16 yarn soldiers called “Let’s Play War!” that juxtaposes femininity and masculinity, and expose how face violence permeates our culture.

“I was interested, as I thought back to my own child-

hood, and I was thinking about the things that we played with that, not dictated, but suggested how we should act,” he said. “I’m using gender roles as a launching point with this piece, but also trying to take something abstract like war and violence, and make it a little more tangible.”

Modeled after the classic plastic toy soldiers, Vincent’s creations are meant to almost have grown alongside the children that one played with them. Museum-goers will be able to walk among them, and feel as if they are part of the warfare being played out.

Each soldier took between two and three weeks to make, and consists of a steady base of steel, foam and the textile hardener, paverpol, covered by yarn. From conception to final touches, the two armies of eight soldiers took a year to create.

Over the four months of the installation, the soldiers will move each day, changing formations, advancing on the opposing army, and even die. The actions are made to make the audience think about warfare and how it is portrayed to children, said Vincent.

“Soldiers who are laying BELLEVUE on the ground dead will revive, get back up again and rejoin the fray, and we want to people think about that. That’s very much the way children play with them, but not the way it is in real life, you know? You can’t bring the dead back to life,” he said.

decade since he found his voice in working with yarn, he says he has tried to showcase the way simple objects can be associated with men or women.

It started off small— screws, tools and appliances. In 2011, Vincent was invited to be a part of the group show “The Mysterious Content of Softness” at the Bellevue Arts Museum.

His first foray into installation art, Vincent Courtesy photo, Bellevue Arts Museum said the life-size yarn locker room he created Artist Nathan Vincent with two of his yarn soldiers. was an eye-opening experience.

“The locker room exhibit was about being on display, which doesn’t mesh with traditional ideas of masculinity,” he said. “It was immersive, and for me, it changed for me the way I think about art. I was creating a space in which you could experience a feeling or concept.”

After such a personal revelation during his last experience at the Bellevue Arts Museum, Vincent said he didn’t feel any pressure with this piece, although he did have some nerves. His studio in New York is significantly smaller than the gallery space at the Bellevue Arts Museum, meaning he had to put finished pieces into storage, so he hadn’t seen the finished pieces all together before they arrived in Bellevue.

“I was a little nervous to be honest,” he said. “But I was thinking of it as a completely separate piece. I guess I don’t look at it as trying to live up to my previous work.”

‘Let’s Play War!’ can be viewed at the Bellevue Arts Museum through October 18. A video of the soldiers’ movements can be viewed at vimeo.com/131244784.

Introducing The new and revolutionary

n 1980, an African American woman sat on an old dilapidated couch, shaking, as tears flooded her eyes.

Legs covered with bruises, terrified, she held her infant daughter, trying to comfort her. Nearby, her four year old was curled in a fetal position, moaning softly. The floor was littered with a broken lamp, patches of hair, torn clothing, and crushed cereal. All grim reminders of her husband’s violence a few minutes ago. He was a 7 ft.

2” tall minister.

Sometime later, she heard the sound of the front door slamming.

Temporarily alone, she called a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, and found connections to a network of advocates who provided the tools and resources she needed to become a survivor. Three very strong and brave African American senior women of faith were also always there to encourage and support her. The great combination of helpers was a key ingredient in rediscovering her own voice, and learning that she deserved to be treated right.

REI to move 280 employees to Bellevue New campus is prime Eastside location, says real estate brokers

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Local recreational retailer REI will move 280 employees from its Kent headquarters to a new location in Bellevue by 2017, and is evaluating its long-term options.

Around 220 IT members will move to a satellite campus in Eastgate this fall, and

another 60 IT employees will join them in 2016. The new Bellevue offices will be located at the Commons at 90.

“REI is growing and we have run out of space on campus in Kent,” said spokesperson Bethany Hawley.

REI currently has more than 1,100 employees in its Kent campus, and employs around 11,000 people total nationwide.

first 1,500 square feet of a property constructed for restaurants or retail in Old Bellevue. A new ordinance was adopted in 1998 that only allowed the parking requirement to be waived for existing buildings.

“They wanted it only to be allowed for existing buildings, as a mechanism to foster reuse and redevel-

opment of those buildings,” said Carol Helland, city land use director.

The ordinance was only meant to apply to buildings that existed before its adoption in 1998, but ended up being applied to buildings constructed after, SEE PARKING, 9

DEVELOPER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

The development company applied in April 2013 to use 8.2 acres of its Bellevue property for constructing eight mixed-used buildings near the future site of Sound Transit’s East Link 120th Avenue Northeast light rail station and the Spring District development.

Five months later, the city council authorized taking through condemnation 240,000 square feet of Pine Forest’s property at 1445 120th Ave. N.E. for constructing a new 15th Street, widening 120th and future light rail projects. Pine Forest offered the city a temporary easement for 84,049 square feet of the property for construction staging, with the condition it later be returned to the developer, so it could continue its transit-oriented development, said Matt Wickens, Pine Forest president.

That portion of the property is planned for siting two of the mixed-use buildings identified in Pine Forest’s master development plan for its 1.16 million-square-foot transit-oriented development project.

The city offered Pine Forest $5 million for the property, Wickens said, even though it has conceded it will not need the parcel once East Link and other multimodal construction projects are completed. The Washington Court of Appeals Division 1 decided in favor of the city in December, upholding a lower court decision that light rail is a public use, and that without final design for the light rail project or city road improvement projects, Bellevue was justified in condemning the property in its entirety.

“What we don’t understand is why they are not accepting our free offer,” Wickens said, the development company concerned how a loss of the property will affect its plans. “It’s a real overreach for the city.”

The city replied to a request by the Reporter for comment about the condemnation of Pine Forest’s 84,049-square-foot parcel by providing background on the issue, but declined to discuss current litigation or why it would rather buy the property than use it at no cost. “… Since the litigation is still pending, it is inappropriate to discuss the details of the negotiations or the city’s legal strategy in a public forum,” according to the statement. “In the event the parties, cannot reach agreement as to the acquisition of the property, there will be a trial at which time the court will determine the amount of just compensation due to Pine Forest Properties for the acquisition of the property.”

Wickens said Sprint was forced to vacate one building in the staging area in late 2014 and Pine Forest has not been able to make tenant space available in the interim, not expecting Sound Transit to need the property until late 2016. He added said the city is allowing Pine Forest to temporarily lease a portion of the property to AutoNation, the auto dealer relocating its Ford dealership from 116th Avenue Northeast following a total-loss fire in April.

Tiffiny Brown, director of land development for Pine Forest parent company Burnstead Construction, said the development company contends the city will also be wasting $5 million — likely more if a trial is needed to determine the fair value — on a property it is being offered to use for free.

“What is the problem?” she said. “That’s something we can’t figure out.”

Wickens said Pine Forest expects the state Supreme Court to decide whether it will take up the developer’s petition in midJuly, where the company would continue to argue the city has shown no long-term public use for the property and should return it once construction is complete.

Helland said.

The city council will now consider adopting a land use code amendment — following a public hearing July 6 — that clarifies the exemption only applies to buildings constructed before the 1998 ordinance was adopted.

Buildings constructed without the necessary parking — 10 stalls per 1,000 square feet for restaurants and two stalls per 1,000 square feet for retail — are only required to comply under the LUCA when there is a tenant change or structural modifications, Helland said.

City staff found that the Main Place Apartments, One Main and Borgata buildings should have provided an additional 24 parking stalls in Old Bellevue, but the land

The city is adding clarity to a land-use code to fix a lack of parking in Old Bellevue. use amendment will not require correcting this lack of parking until new tenants take over these buildings or the buildings are modified.

“There are concerns about whether certain amounts of tenants would be able to acquire the required parking,” Helland said, adding property owners will have the option of using off-site parking to meet those requirements.

as access to Seattle, then being along I-90 is ideal.”

Although Hughes wouldn’t say what REI is paying for the location, the yearly rental rate at the Commons’ sister property is $23 per square foot.

The increasing popularity of the area has lead to an increase in rental rates over the last year. The addition of REI will likely add to the momentum, Hughes said.

REI is in the midst of evaluating their long-term plans, but are not close to any final decision, said a spokesperson.

“We are in the process of evaluating our options for our full campus over the long term,” said Hawley. “We are looking three to five years out in the Puget Sound area-both urban and suburban locations, which also includes Kent.”

A CITY CHAMPIONSHIP ATTAINED

A stroll down memory lane

The Bellevue Thunderbird Braves Little League 9-year-old baseball team won the AAA Division all-city baseball tournament on June 12 in Bellevue.

The Braves went undefeated during the tourney and defeated the Bellevue West Dodgers 5-1 in the championship game. There were 25 teams who competed in the tourney, consisting of squads from Bellevue West, Bellevue East, Bellevue Thunderbird and Mercer Island little leagues. The Braves coaching staff and players consist of John Slater, Dragos Barac, Chris Rowland, Lorezno Ramos Bellisari, Tyler Houpt, Jace Rainey, Ethan Schroeder, Nicholas Barac, Christopher Lum, Jared Nakashima, Luke Slater, Taiga Morishita, JJ Cabansag Valdez, Alex Rowland and Alexander Shemwell.

Certain holidays can create a tidal wave of memories that can rush back to a person like a hurricane.

Each year, the Fourth of July brings me back to my childhood in Belfair, which is 71 miles west of Bellevue in Mason County. The Fourth of July was the pinnacle of the summer in the 1990s for the kids in my neighborhood. Each year a dozen of us would make a beeline for Beards Cove Park, a three-minute stroll from my parents’ house, to play a couple hours of basketball before the evening festivities took place at our respective homes.

By the time I arrived back home, I would be greeted with the sight of my dad’s best friend Oscar’s red truck parked in the driveway. Oscar, who lived in central Tacoma for the majority of his life, was ecstatic to make the 38-mile drive to Belfair on an annual basis for our family’s favorite holiday. I couldn’t wait to discover what kind of food and beverages Oscar would bring. Typically, he brought hamburger patties, shrimp, hot dogs, chips and root beer. I’ll never forget sitting at the kitchen table, listening to Oscar and my dad tell stories as they cooked up a sizable feast.

As the daylight turned into darkness, our old creaky deck that was perched above our front yard became the hub of our Beards

It was time to put on a show.

The most memorable Fourth of July celebration of my childhood came in the summer of 1994. Because of all of the excitement of having a multitude of people at our house, I consumed 10 cans of coca-cola without anyone seeming to notice. The high amount of caffeine had an effect on my 12-year-old body. Around midnight, as I tried to light off the remaining bottle rockets, I had a tough time lighting the fuse. My hands and fingers couldn’t stop shaking, and my dad asked me why.

I just looked at him and grinned before admitting I had drank 10 sodas throughout the evening. Much to my delight, he wasn’t even angry with me. He replied, “It’s the Fourth of July, so it’s okay, son.” My dad was a disciplinarian. On any other occasion, his response would had been the opposite and I would had been in trouble. My father passed away in July of 2004. Tomorrow will be my 11th Fourth of July without him. Besides his birthday and Father’s Day, there isn’t another day that I think about him more than Independence Day. My memories of my favorite holiday will never leave me as long as I’m alive.

Wolverines win National Lacrosse Invitational tourney

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Wolverines lacrosse team brought home some coveted hardware from one of the biggest lacrosse tournaments the United States has to offer.

Bellevue captured a team title after defeating Wantagh 6-4 in the championship game of the 2015 National Lacrosse Invitational at Ward Melville on June 21 in Long Island, New York. Bellevue Head Coach John Baumman said the Wolverines were the lone team from Washington who competed in the 38-team tourney.

“We brought the big trophy home on the plane. I think nobody expected us to do that, so that felt pretty good for us,” Baumann said. “It showed everybody that we are legitimately a national force.”

The tournament title took away some of the sting of Bellevue’s 11-8 loss in the state championship game against the Mercer Island Islanders on May 31 in Tukwila. Bellevue finished the 2015 regular season with an overall record of 18-5. The Wolverines had just three seniors on the roster.

“We set out to win that state championship. Losing that game was hard but this was a really cool rebound. It came sooner than I expected I guess you could say,” he said.

Baumman said the key to victory in the championship contest was time of possession.

“We played intense the whole time and we controlled the ball. They can’t score if they don’t have the ball and we did a phenomenal job of possessing the ball and not playing chaotic. It worked out pretty well,” Baumman said.

The Wolverines showed off their skills in front of a bevy of college coaches in attendance at the National Lacrosse Invitational.

“There were more than 60 colleges there,” he said. “That is very important for us because now kids on our team are getting looked at by schools across the nation.”
