City asks residents to reduce water use by 10 percent

[ 03 ]

It’s all in the family

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

In the midst of the region’s alltime driest May-July and unusually hot weather, the city of Bellevue joined with the Cascade Water Alli-

ance and other cities to recommend that citizens reduce their water use by 10 percent.

“The city is relying on the support and cooperation of all water users to conserve the available

water supply. If everyone cooperates, we may avoid imposing more stringent restrictions at a later date,” city officials said in a press release.

Residents are asked to cut back on unnecessary watering, take shorter showers, wash only full loads of laundry, and take other methods outlined in the city’s press release.

concerns and in anticipation of a drier-than-normal fall, the Cascade Water Alliance joined Seattle Public Utilities, Tacoma Water and the city of Everett in their efforts to conserve the resource.

The Alliance supplies water to Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Tukwila, Issaquah and the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District.

Rebekah Edelman first began to notice she was losing her hearing when she was 14. She slowly began responding ‘what?’ to people talking to her or asking them to repeat themselves. Soon, she was the only child in her school wearing hearing aids.

“When I first learned that I was

losing my hearing, I just thought it was weird. No one in my family has hearing loss, so I was really confused for a while. I really just wanted an answer. Why me? Why am I losing my hearing? What did I do?” she said.

For a few years, her hearing levels were in the acceptable range, but a test in 2013 showed that her levels had declined rapidly. At 23, she is now legally deaf.

Community members are mourning the death of Bellevue resident Christine Morris, who was killed on Aug. 6 after she swerved to avoid a tire that became dislodged from the vehicle in front of her and lost control of her vehicle.

“We’re devastated. It’s not fair,” said longtime friend Megan Radvick. “She’s such a wonderful person. She would help anyone. Anyone who even met her once has memories of her.”

Helping mothers and children get the ‘Best Start’

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

DEEP DISCOUNTS TAKEN

SHOP EARLY! SALE STARTS SUNDAY, 9:30 a.m.

1000’s OF ITEMS MARKED DOWN FOR THIS SALE

Erica Fernandez was surprised to answer her door early one morning and find Eastgate Public Health nurse Shane Kachi.

After a difficult, high-risk pregnancy during which she developed pre-eclampsia, Fernandez’s son had been born three weeks early and had just returned home after spending a week in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Fatigued and having trouble breastfeeding, Fernandez was at her wits end after speaking to five different lactation specialists. She quickly found comfort and support in Kachi. “(The other doctors) were horrible. They made me feel like a bad mom,” said Fernandez. “Shane (Kachi) was more like a friend, and she gave me such a peace of mind.”

Over the next year, Kachi regularly visited Fernandez and her son, Mason, thanks to the Maternity Support Services program.

Through the service, Kachi covered everything from healthy eating habits to physical and emotional development to monitoring Fernandez’s health.

Fernandez is just one of many women in Bellevue who have received support through the Maternity Support Services program. Every day, Kachi sees three to four clients in Bellevue, Issaquah, Sammamish, the Snoqualmie Valley and part of Redmond. She is the only full-time MSS nurse at Eastgate Public Health, with one additional part-time nurse.

Eastgate Public Health had more than 1,500 Maternity Support Services/Infant Care Management clients in 2013. Across King County, the public health system provided these services to more than 30,000 women that year.

The Maternity Support Services program is one of many Eastside programs that would receive additional funding under the county’s Best Starts for Kids initiative, which was approved as a November ballot measure by the county council on July 22.

Under Best Starts for Kids, a proposed six-year levy would provide funding for prevention and early intervention programs

designed to increase the number of King County children and youth who reach adulthood healthy.

The majority of funding would go towards local organizations, as decided by each community. About 12 percent would go toward clinic services like MSS. But, after a 35 percent cut to the MSS program a few years ago, that small amount of funding would provide stability to Eastgate’s and other health centers programs.

“Last year, with all of the cuts that have come over time, we fell off of the cliff,” said Patty Hayes, Director, Public Health for Seattle and King County. “The great thing is that it’s going to give some money to make sure the program that we have with the funding to maintain these services.”

Home visiting, as opposed to relying solely on check-ups at a primary care doctor’s office, provides a window into the life of the mother and baby, said Robin Laurence, personal health services supervisor SEE BEST STARTS, 9

Seldens first Bellevue store offers familiar faces

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Tacoma-based retailer Seldens Designer Home Furnishing has opened their first store in Bellevue, having purchased the longtime furniture retailer Masins Furniture in April.

“It’s been a desire for our company to expand into the Seattle/Bellevue area for some time. We’re really excited about this,” said Scott Selden, owner of Seldens.

The new 25,000-square-foot Bellevue location will feature dozens of furniture and manufacturer brands, complementary design services and a mattress gallery. They also work directly with interior design professionals through their Partners in Design program.

“One of the biggest things that we are bringing to the Bellevue market is diversity of product,” said Selden.

After four generations in the future business, the Masin’s patriarch, Bob Masin, decided to retire and sell the business. Masins first opened in Seattle in 1927 as a dry goods store, and operated there until 2011. They

opened their Bellevue location in 1984.

“We were a family store, my kids were in all of our advertisements,” said David Masin, son of Bob Masin. “One of the hardest things to do was tell my kids that I wasn’t going to pass the store on to them.”

Masins was also known for high-end furnishings, and carried a few brands exclusively. The store had also adapted well to the online market, said David Masin, with online sales bringing in around 15 percent of their revenue.

Selden jumped at the opportunity to pur-

chase his family’s longtime rival in the small Puget Sound furniture market.

“They were friendly competitors, and we had a lot of crossover of product categories and brands,” he said.

Parts of the operation will still stay in the family. The entire staff of Masins will stay on, with David Masin saying his family would not have accepted the deal otherwise. Masin himself will stay as well as showroom manager.

Bringing David Masin into the Seldens team was an easy choice, said Selden. “He

knows the Seattle/Bellevue customer. We needed a good, seasoned manager for our showroom and Dave was the obvious choice,” he said.

This year marks not only the store’s expansion, but Seldens’ 75th anniversary in the business. As Scott Selden looks to pass the business on to another generation, he is looking towards expanding North in the future.

“We want to keep growth in the family business, so we will be looking at new opportunities,” he said.

Microsoft to increase parental leave

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Following in the steps of Netflix, Microsoft announced on Aug. 5 that they will be increasing their paid paternal leave options, effective Nov. 1.

“As we ask our employees to bring their ‘A’ game to work every day to achieve our mission, we believe it’s our responsibility to create an environment where people can do their best work. A key component of this is supporting our employees with benefits that matter most to them,” Kathleen Hogan, executive vice president of human resources, said in a blog post on Microsoft’s website.

Currently, Microsoft offered eight weeks of full paid maternity disability leave for new mothers, plus 12 weeks of parental leave for all parents of new children (four weeks paid, eight unpaid).

Beginning on Nov. 1, male and female employees will receive 12 weeks of fully

paid parental leave.

For birth mothers, that will be in addition to the eight weeks of fully paid maternity disability leave they currently receive, allowing them to take a total of 20 weeks of fully paid leave. Microsoft is also offering birth mothers expanded opportunity to use short-term disability leave during the two weeks prior to their scheduled due date.

Eligible parents will also have increased flexibility in using their leave, taking it either in one continuous 12-week period or splitting it into two periods. They will also have the option to phase back into work on a half-time basis.

Netflix announced on Aug. 4 that they were introducing an unlimited leave policy for new mothers and fathers, effective immediately. Under this new policy, parents can take off as much time as they want during the first year after a child’s birth or adoption. They can reportedly return parttime, full-time, or return and then go back out as needed. www.HanniganAdams.com www.SilverSilverSilver.net www.BethAdamsArtworks.com

Dogs in aisle 6

W

hat is it about people who think it is okay to bring a dog into a grocery store or a restaurant? The better question might be: Why doesn’t anyone object?

While I love my own dog — a tiny elderly mini-Dachshund — I do not, would not, take him into a grocery or restaurant. And why? It is prohibited Washington food code, in conjunction with the FDA Food Code 2009 (See FDA Food Code 2009: Sec. 6-501.115 Prohibiting Animals).

We have all seen them. From extremely large dogs whose mere presence can make people wary to small dogs whose owners actually place them in the shopping cart.

Of course we are not talking here about legitimate companion animals. Yet, we don’t really know who is legitimate unless the animal wears a vest, and no one wants to ask for proof.

So how did it become acceptable to bring a dog into a place where cleanliness is paramount? It seems that people who bring unauthorized pets in the store are either oblivious, entitled or don’t care. Why should they care? No one says anything.

It seems that disbelief has morphed into grim acceptance. It is up to the rest of us to use those sanitary wipes inside the door to make sure our cart is clean.

Why don’t store managers or employees — no doubt themselves incredulous that people behave this way — confront these scofflaws? Grocery stores and restaruants have reams of regulation they must follow to ensure the food sold in their stores are safe. So, why put those efforts at risk? We understand their reluctance to offend shoppers. But what about the rest of us — what about our needs or our preferences?

The world these days is all about acceptance, a (mostly) good thing. However, personal preference should not take precedence over rules designed to keep our food and our families safe.

‘Just how did it become acceptable to bring a dog into a grocery store?’

To the editor No restroom for wheelchair users at theater I am a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair full time. I cannot stand or walk at all.

We took our granddaughter to Crossroads Theater in Bellevue yesterday and after drinking their mega-sized “small” lemonade I was shocked to be told that there are no wheelchair-accessible bathroom stalls because they are “remodeling” their restrooms.

I told the manager, “So you think people in wheelchairs don’t need to use the restroom?” All he did was shake his head.

Do you think they’d kept the theater open if there were no restrooms for their able-bodied patrons?

At the very least they should post a sign at the door informing people that the disability restroom is not available.

I will not be going to that theater any time soon, and I advised my 90+ member women’s wheelchair user support group, Northwest Women Wheelers Network, to do the same.

Speeding Medina man allegedly talking Search warrants on cell phone kills Redmond man executed in Bellevue, other cities on 18-month drug trafficking investigation

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Seventeen suspects arrested, dozens of pounds of drugs confiscated

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Federal, state and local law enforcement officials executed search warrants on locations in Bellevue, Seattle, Renton and other local communities on Aug. 5 for the culmination of a 18-month long drug trafficking investigation.

During the course of the investigation, law enforcement officials seized more than 29 pounds of meth, more than 18 pounds of heroin, six pounds of cocaine, approximately $178,000 in cash and sixteen firearms, including five assault rifles.

“Heroin, and methamphetamine continue to wreak havoc in our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes in a statement. “I commend the law enforcement professionals who investigated this drug trafficking organization, taking large loads of drugs off the street, while also gathering key evidence to make these arrests and prosecutions possible.”

Beginning early on Aug. 5, teams of local, state and federal law enforcement agents searched over 20 locations across the Puget Sound region. It was the culmination of an 18-month-long investigation of a criminal group with ties to California and Mexico.

“This investigation is a great example of law enforcement collaboration,” said Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole.

“The Seattle Police Department will continue to work closely with our federal, state and local partners to eliminate the flow of deadly drugs, such as

heroin and methamphetamine to our region.”

During the investigation, court authorized wire-taps and extensive surveillance was conducted on alleged members of the group.

Law enforcement officers served search warrants on seventeen residences, three storage facilities and more than a dozen vehicles tied to the criminal group. The facilities were located in Auburn, Bellevue, SeaTac, Seattle, Tukwila, Renton, Port Orchard and Everett.

An indictment and criminal complaints have been filed charging 22 defendants with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances including methamphetamine and heroin. Some of the defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

There were no arrests made in Bellevue, according to Drug Enforcement Administration spokesperson Jodi Underwood.

Some of those arrested made their initial appearances on the indictments on Aug. 5 in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Others were seen in court over the last week.

Due to the drug quantities involved, some of the defendants face mandatory minimum sentences of ten years in prison.

The defendants who have already appeared in court at this time entered pleas of “not guilty”, and their trial was set for Sept.

28. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Vince Lombardi and Thomas Woods.

A 20-year-old driver from Medina who was allegedly speeding and talking on his cell phone caused an accident on eastbound I-90 on Aug. 8 that killed one person and injured another.

According to a Washington State Patrol press memo, at 2:10 p.m. a male driver from Medina was traveling eastbound on I-90 near State Route 18 in the left lane and drifted onto the left shoulder and struck another vehicle, which was driven by a 29-year-old Redmond female. Her deceased passenger, Sohel Ahuja, was identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s office on Monday.

When officers arrived, the female driver was standing outside of her 2008 Honda Civic near mile post 26. She was critically injured and transported to Harborview Medical Center. The driver of the 2002 Toyota Highlander was uninjured.

The roadway was partially blocked for approximately two and half hours.

At press time, the cause of the accident and charges are under investigation. The Washington State Patrol is asking witnesses to call or contact detective Russ Haake at russ.haake@wsp.wa.gov or (425) 401-7717.

City Hall’s roof to go green The city council recently approved the installation of a “green roof ” at City Hall. A layer of soil and vegetation will cover a section of the building’s roof as a pilot project partially funded by a $90,000 King Conservation District grant.

‘Green’ roofs slow down and filter rainwater that would otherwise flow directly into the storm drains. In addition, the new roof has the potential to reduce heating and cooling costs on the floor immediately below it by up to six percent.

Buckley Nursery Company will install the soil and vegetation on what is currently 5,000 square feet of gravelballasted roof.

City council approves new comprehensive plan The Bellevue City Council approved a new comprehensive plan earlier this month that focuses on economic and neighborhood growth, affordable housing, housing for seniors, homelessness and diversity.

The plan anticipates growth of 15,800 housing units and 51,800 jobs by 2035, with the vast majority of growth accommodated through redevelopment downtown and in other mixed-use centers, including BelRed, Eastgate/ Factoria and Wilburton. It also includes a new Neighborhoods element that creates a “home” for neighborhood items of interest, and frames the neighborhood/subarea area plan update process, now set to begin.

The comprehensive plan was dedicated to Nan Campbell, who served on the City Council for two terms, 19821989, and was the city’s first woman mayor, 1988-1989.

Bellevue Police believe Open Window school may be target The Bellevue Police are unsure if the target are cars, cyclists, or pedestrians, said Jensen. But, they are now investigating the possibility that the nails are being spread by a community member who is unhappy about planned expansion at the Open Window School, which adjoins both roads.

The vandalism has reportedly been largely relegated to the two streets, which connect and wrap around the school’s campus. Staff members and families of children who attend the school have reported nails in their tires, but the school does not feel they are being specifically targeted, said Jeff Stroebel, head of the Open Window school.

“We are currently asking the City of Bellevue to approve an increase in our enrollment capacity, but the nail drops preceded our request by several months, so we do not feel that they are related,” he said. “The community notice of our application just went up on August 6; the first reports of nails being dropped were in early May.” While many residents suspected the nails were initially targeted at the large amounts of cyclists training in the area during the summer, Smith said she wouldn’t discount the vandalism being targeted at the school.

After months of mystery, Cougar Mountain residents have turned to police to find out who is purposefully plaguing their roadways with hundreds of nails.

Resident Jo-Ellen Smith said that she has encountered roofing nails spread randomly in the bike lanes along those roads.

“This is perilous to drivers and even more so to the main cyclists who train on these roads,” she said.

Beginning in May, residents, drivers and cyclists have been countering scores of roofing nails on both 168th Place S.E. and S.E. 60th Street.

Close to two dozen people have experienced flat tires after driving in the area, and neighbors are collecting nails on daily walks. Signs that neighbors put up to warn drivers about the nails are repeatedly being torn down, said Smith.

The community thought the issue had resolved itself at the beginning of the summer, only to have the nails begin littering the roadways again over the last few weeks.

“Hundreds of nails at a time don’t just 280945_4.8_x_7 8/4/15so2:25 PMbelieve Page 1 fall off of a work truck, we do it’s intentional,” said Bellevue Police 280945_4.8_x_7 8/4/15 2:25 PM Page 1 spokeswoman Amanda Jensen.

Seattle University to open new Downtown Bellevue Campus

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Seattle University students will soon begin to swarm Downtown Bellevue as the school prepares to open its new Eastside campus location next month.

The university, which has occupied a space at Bellefield Office Park since 1989, is finishing up renovations on a new 7,600-square-foot satellite campus for the Albers School of Business and Economics.

“There’s a lot of important employers on the Eastside, and a lot of programs in our Bellevue campus are targeted towards business or finance,” said Joseph Phillips Jr., dean of the Albers School. “The aspira-

167

tion of university is to expand programs available on Eastside, and not just for our business programs.”

Located on 112th Avenue N.E., the new facility will be close to the Bellevue Transit Center, which will bring an added convenience for students and staff, said Phillips.

It also includes 50 university-designated parking spots, and access to I-405 and WA-520.

Seattle University’s new facility will also include upgraded technology, workspaces and other features.

“The new facility will have a layout specifically designed to meet our program needs, as opposed to the Bellefield facility that was always a poor match for us as a fa-

cility,” he said. “Obviously, the way technology is used in classrooms is very different now than it was in 1989.”

The Albers campus will serve close to 100 business students, but the university has plans to expand in the future to serve more business students and students studying other disciplines, said university spokesperson Dean Forbes.

Representatives from the school would not disclose how much the renovation cost, and would only specify that they are renting the space at 200 112th Ave. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.

The university will be holding an open house and start classes on the facility’s opening date, Sept. 23.

to put her baby to sleep on its stomach, placing it at higher risk for SIDS. “If we can detect these things early on, that can prevent an emergency room visit,” said Kachi. “A lot of the time, it’s just about educating the clients.”

“Public health is like the grounding you need for everything else to bloom,” she said.

Residents, employees and others who are interested in improving the transportation system in Bellevue are invited to comment on a draft Transportation Demand Management plan.

The purpose of the plan is to expand the use of transit, carpooling, vanpooling, walking, biking and teleworking in order to improve the performance of the overall transportation network.

The TDM draft includes the results of an online, voluntary, non-scientific survey conducted late last year that asked Bellevue residents, workers, employers and property

August 14, 2015 [9] managers how to encourage alternatives to driving alone. More than 1,600 people responded to the survey. Topics covered include commute programs; individualized commute planning services and incentives for people who try alternative modes and log their trips in an online calendar. The strategies can help reduce the impact of residential and commercial growth on the transportation system, and can help people find travel alternatives during construction, such as the East Link light rail project, slated to break ground in 2016, according to a city press release.

Interested persons may submit comments via email to TDMPlanComment@bellevuewa. gov or by calling 425-452-7896. Comments will be incorporated into the final plan. The deadline to submit comments is Aug. 31.

Bulldogs’ diamond summer tradition lives on

BY SHAUN SCOTT

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue College Bulldogs baseball Head Coach Mark Yoshino shouted words of encouragement throughout the duration of the Bulldogs’ annual baseball camp this past week at Courter Field.

Yoshino, who has coached the Bulldogs baseball program since the mid-1990s, has proven himself to be a pillar of the baseball world on the Eastside for the past two decades. In the world of collegiate baseball, many coaches come and go but Yoshino remains a constant in the evolving world of collegiate athletics. Yoshino said this year’s camp, which was for players between seven and 12 years of age, had players in attendance from not only Bellevue but from the Sammamish plateau, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond and West Seattle. The camp, which is in its 23rd year, focused on the fundamentals of baseball during the week. The camp consisted of two three-hour sessions (one in the morning, one in the afternoon).

“Three hours of non-stop baseball instruction for seven to 12-year-olds sometimes can be a little hard but it is what the community has been asking for,” Yoshino said with a smile. “There has been a number of kids who have came to this camp when they were eight, nine and 10 years old and now they’re college and

high school superstars. A lot of parents have had generations of kids come through this camp. It has been a staple product on the Eastside.”

One example of this phenomena is Newport Knights 2015 Ethan Paul. Paul, who will play Division-1 baseball at Vanderbilt University in Nashville this coming season, was a regular at the Bulldogs’ camps during his childhood.

“Ethan’s father said their family always remembered Ethan coming to our camps and how it helped out with his baseball career. I remember when we did some donations to Ethan’s elementary school when he was in the fifth grade,” Yoshino said.

Yoshino said another added bonus of the camp is watching his current players turn into coaches for the week. A handful of Bulldogs baseball players gladly offered their tutelage and expertise to the multitude of campers in attendance.

“Our guys do a great job. What we as a coaching staff like about it is that our players see things from a coaches perspective,” he said. “It actually makes them better players because they can see things from the other side for a brief moment Shaun Scott, Bellevue Reporter during the summer.”

Seasoned starter on the gridiron all time?

Riley Schroeder: The Warriors. It is a 1970s movie.

Interlake Saints senior and jack-of-all-trades football player Riley Schroeder will be in the starting lineup for the third consecutive season this fall on the gridiron.

Schroeder, who has played linebacker, cornerback and safety during his high school career thus fall, loves the physical aspect of football more than anything.

“I have always been a hit first, tackle first type of guy.

I love hitting people and I love tackling. That is why I love playing safety. You are usually one of the first players to get a chance to hit,” Schroeder said.

Over the summer Schroeder has focused on learning the defensive end position in preparation for the fall.

“We have a lot of depth at defensive back so I have been working on converting to defensive end. It has been a big transition,” he said.

Schroeder, who is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 160 pounds, said opposing offensive lineman underestimated him during team camp this summer.

“When they saw this kid my size coming at them they are like what the heck? Then I go in and make some plays and they are just so surprised,” Schroeder said.

The Saints finished the 2014 season with a disappointing 3-6 record. Schroeder said the Saints just couldn’t find a way to win close games but expects that to change this coming season.

“It really is all mental. We felt like we’ve had a talented team the last few years but we could just never buckle down and finish games. We just have to execute, limit our turnovers and create turnovers on defense.

We have our running back DeJhion Parrish and quarterback Duncan Varela who are great on offense. They are unstoppable,” Schroeder said. “We are going to be really hard to stop.”

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Schroeder some questions about his life away from the gridiron.

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Golf is one of the most humbling sports an individual can ever partake in.

I golfed a few times in 1991 as a 9-year-old but didn’t pick up the sport consistently until the summer of 2008. It was that summer I watched Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate battle for the U.S. Open Championship.

Woods, who sunk a difficult putt on the 18th hole to force a sudden-death playoff hole despite an ailing knee injury, defeated Mediate by one stroke to win his 14th major tournament of his career.

After watching Woods’ heroic performance, I decided to give the sport of golf another try. Over the past seven years I have golfed with numerous friends at a wide array of different courses in Washington. My best score ever on a course was an 85, which on paper seems legit. In actuality though, it occurred on a course where the majority of the holes were par 3’s. I had only hit the links a few times this summer before tackling

Sports Brief

Bulldogs to host summer hoops camp

Port Orchard’s McCormick Woods golf course earlier this summer.

It was the epitome of a humbling experience. My score was atrocious as I finished in the triple digits under the sweltering heat of the July sun. My friends didn’t fare too much better on the links. We didn’t have one par between the three of us in 18 holes of golf. I had one bogey and was jovial to have attained that meager goal.

One aspect of golf that keeps not only me, but countless players across the world coming back is the ability to hit a perfect drive, knock down a difficult putt or connect perfectly while chipping onto the green.

In five hours of golf if you experience three to five proficient shots it just keeps you coming back for more. Golf is a microcosm of life. You can be dominating one moment and the next instance you can find yourself in the rough. I plan on continuing to golf for decades to come.

ACCIDENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The 40-year-old mother of two was heading eastbound on State Route 2 in Chelan County near Cashmere, Washington with her children – an 8-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl – when a tire reportedly became dislodged from a boat trailer in front of them.

Morris swerved to avoid the tire and lost control of her vehicle, rolling her Toyota 4Runner off onto the westbound shoulder, according to a statement released by Washington State Patrol spokesman Darren Wright.

Her two children, Lukas and Eloise, were injured in the crash and transported to Confluence Health to receive medical care.

All three had been wearing their seat belts.

“The family is doing as well as you can expect, but it’s been incredibly hard,” said Radvick. “Facebook has been lighting up

with all of these wonderful stories of her.

She was a truly beautiful person inside and out.”

Morris was on her way to meet Patrick and another friend, both of whom were her Kappa Delta sorority sisters at Washington State University, at Slidewaters in Chelan.

The driver of the car with the boat trailer, a 47-year-old Wenatchee man, has not been charged at this time. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Morris grew up in Mercer Island and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1993 before attending WSU. She was the head coach of her daughter’s softball team and was an active fundraiser for the Ryther Child Center.

Services will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 14 at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 3730 148th Ave. S.E. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to support Michael, Lukas, and Eloise by visiting: www.youcaring.com/mike-lukasand-eloise-morris-410118.

WATER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

This is the second of the four-stage water shortage plan. The first step was a water advisory, which issued on July 27. Water consumption across the region did not go down after Western Washington officials entered the first water conservation phase two weeks ago.

The Alliance’s water shortage plan must move step-by-step, and can only be increased in severity every two weeks.

The soonest the Alliance could move into the mandatory water conservation stage is Aug. 25. While it is not definite the Alliance will call for mandatory conservation, it is certainly a possibility, said Elaine Kraft, the intergovernmental and communications director for the Cascade Water Alliance.

“We feel this is really critical,” said Kraft.

“It’s not hard things. We’re hoping this 10 percent cut will make a difference.”

When asked why the city didn’t ask residents to voluntarily conserve water sooner, Bellevue Utilities spokesman Michael May said that the area had sufficient water reservoir levels this past spring, and did not see an uptick in water usage until this

“We have seen above normal water use during the months of June and July. This was not anticipated at the beginning of summer,” he said.

In an email sent in response to concerns voiced by resident Julie Beffa in March, Bellevue’s Utilities Director Nav Otal said that while the snowpack was low, the watershed that feeds the system managed

by Seattle Public Utilities (which provides water to the Cascade Water Alliance) had seen close to normal precipitation.

“If current weather patterns persist, SPU’s reservoir refill strategy will rely on rain in the latter part of the winter and early spring to achieve reservoir targets,” Otal wrote in an email provided to the Reporter.

May said the decision to require mandatory curtailment will be made, if necessary,

by Seattle Public Utilities.

“If the continued analysis of this data shows that a further reduction in demands is needed, (Seattle Public Utilities) will move to the next step, which is a mandatory reduction in water use,” said May. “At that point Bellevue, along with Cascade, will likely join Seattle in declaring a mandatory reduction as we are all working together in this regional response.”

ing nerve directly.

Since they were approved by the FDA in 1984, around 350,000 people worldwide have received cochlear implants.

That includes more than 58,000 adults and 38,000 children.

The Cochlear Nucleus Profile Edelman received is the world’s thinnest cochlear implant– at 3.9 millimeters, it is up to 40 percent thinner than other implant electrodes available on the market.

It’s thin size makes in discrete. A week after her surgery, the only signs of Edelman’s implant are the pink marks where her stitches were.

Despite their widespread use, cochlear implants, and Edelman’s decision to get one, are not a given for many deaf people. There are those within the deaf community who aren’t fans of the device and have spoken out against them.

“Many within the medical profession continue to view deafness essentially as a disability and an abnormality and believe that deaf and hard of hearing individuals need to be ‘fixed’ by cochlear implants,” officials from the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) wrote in a 2000 position paper. “A major reason implantation have been pursued so aggressively by the media, the medical profession, and parents is not simply because of the hoped-for benefits that come with being able to hear in a predominantly hearing society, but more because of the perceived burdens associated with being deaf.”

Organizations like the NAD say that there is continued need for education that deaf persons are not

said Dr. Trac Duong, Edelman’s doctor and a specialist in Otolaryngology, or ear, nose and throat conditions. “But in the real world, a lot of patients fake it– They’ll nod or say yes, or they just won’t engage in the conversation. There will be situations they will avoid, social situations, a lot of times. You can only compensate so much before it affects your life.”

Those limitations– the fear that she won’t be able to understand the questions posed to her in a job interview, her mother’s worry that if Edelman has a child, she wouldn’t be able to hear her baby’s cries– are what brought Edelman to Overlake hospital on July 31 for a cochlear implant surgery.

Overlake Hospital is the first hospital in Washington to use the new implant. It is also the only hospital on the Eastside and near many Eastern Washington communities to offer any type of cochlear implant surgery.

A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that can uses a group of electrodes that collects impulses from an external transmitter and sends then to different regions of the auditory nerve, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. The thin electrode is inserted directly into the spiral-shaped inner ear, bypassing the damaged cells and stimulating the hear-

handicapped or second-class citizens. Edelman herself says she has encountered customers at her retail job who have taken her deafness for stupidity.

In her case, Edelman was initially hesitant to have surgery on what she felt was the snap-judgement of a doctor she visited in Ellensburg. Having undergone problems with hearing aids that she felt hastened her hearing loss, she sought several other opinions before deciding to receive a cochlear implant.

“Each person has a different opinion about cochlear implants,” she said. “But, I look at my life, and I live in a hearing world. I mean, I’m scared to apply for a job and go on interviews. In the end, it seemed like the right decision.”

While there is no certainty the the implant will work, and if it does, Edelman will have to readjust to understanding speech again. But the simple joys are what she and her mother, Kari, are focusing on.

“I can’t wait to get that first phone call,” said Kari Edelman, as she began to tear up. “It’s been so long since we’ve spoken over the phone.”

...obituaries Margaret Igoe Gri

Margaret Igoe Gri passed away in Bellevue on the afternoon of July 4, 2015 in the company of her children and grandchildren. She was 92.

Margaret Igoe was born to Ellen and William Igoe in Ballymore Eustace, County Kildare, Ireland, on June 18, 1923, the sixth of fourteen children. She served in Intelligence for the British Army during WWII, after which she met her future husband,Wallace Gri (d. May 17, 2009) in postwar Europe. They were married on September 18, 1946 in Ballymore Eustace, living briefly in Belgium before moving to San Carlos, California and finally settling in the Woodridge neighborhood of Bellevue in 1961. It was here that they raised their four children, Paul, Deirdre, Maureen, and Daniel.

Margaret will be remembered by those who knew her for her loving, adventurous, and open-minded nature. She was a dedicated mother to her four children, and a devoted Catholic at her local parish. She took great joy in and demonstrated talent for a myriad of activities, sharing her skills with others through teaching classes in both Bridge and ballroom dancing.

She loved nature, enjoying especially the trails around Mt. Rainier.

In 1983, at the age of 60, Margaret earned her degree in Computer Programming, working in IT for Safeco until her retirement at the age of 65. Following their retirement, Margaret and Wally continued to serve their community, support and dote upon their six grandchildren, and travel the world. Margaret especially enjoyed Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, and France.

Margaret is survived by three of her siblings, Brigid Ayers, of Auburn, CA; Jimmy Igoe, of Kildare, Ireland; and Pauline Igoe, of Tacoma; her four children, Paul Gri, of Bellevue; Deirdre Daigle, of West Seattle; Maureen Newman, of Bellevue; and Daniel Gri, of Oakton,VA; and her six grandchildren, Christie, Amanda, Kate, Natalie, Caleb, and Alfred.
