Investigative report details events leading to Russell Smith's death in SeattleBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Whether Bellevue SWAT members were justi� ed in fatally shooting Russell Smith as he allegedly attempted to strike o� cers with his car in what seemed to be a desper-

ate attempt to � ee a blocked dead-end street in Columbia City, and explaining the di� ering perspectives among law enforce-ment about the events of March 22, will likely be taken up during an inquest hear-ing potentially starting next year.

Considered a career criminal by law enforcement, Smith, 51, already had an ex-tensive rap sheet before o� cers responded to his residence on the 5000 block of 43rd Avenue South in Seattle with an arrest war-rant. Smith was suspected of at least three

robberies in Bellevue and two in Seattle going back to November 2012. He was believed to be armed and dangerous.

A 428-page investigative report submit-ted to the King County Prosecutor's O� ce ahead of a six-member jury inquest hear-ing – ordered by King County Executive Dow Constantine in June – provides more than a dozen accounts from Bellevue and Seattle police o� cers there that morning. None of the residents witnessed the fatal shooting as all had been asleep at 5 a.m.

and awoke to the sounds of gun� re and explosions.

With Seattle SWAT down the road ready to provide back-up, Bellevue o� cers ap-proached Smith's home expecting to catch him and his brother, Rydell, 46, o� -guard. Rydell Smith was suspected of aiding his brother in committing the robberies, but was not home at the time of the warrant services and later cleared as a suspect.

� e Swedish Medical Center Foundation knew Robert and Jean Reid to be great philanthropists here in the Puget Sound area, but were surprised to � nd they'd been gi� ed $10.1 million from the Bellevue couple's estate following their deaths.

Robert Reid started Reid Sand and Gravel in 1958 with his wife helping to run the Bellevue business for nearly 30 years. � ey were well known for their philanthropy, establishing an endowment fund for the UW School of Nursing and support-ing community causes. Another posthumous gi� by the Reids was to the Seattle Children's Hospital Bellevue Clinic.

“� e Reids had been one of the most philanthropic

couples in all of the Puget Sound area,” said Randy Mann, vice president of campaigns for the Swedish foundation. “� eir real increase in giving and supporting Swedish did occur later in life when they became aware of their own health issues.”

Meydenbauer Center eyes renovation, expansion toto stay financially viable

A� er 20 years of operations, the Meydenbauer Center’s board of directors are working with the city of Bellevue to � gure out how to make improvements that will ensure its � nancial viability for many years to come.

“As Bellevue’s grown, so have we,” said Stacy Graven, executive director for Meydenbauer Center, “and also we have the obligation to be the communities kind of living room.”

More than 7,000 events have been held at the center since its construction, and Graven said the meeting rooms, lobby and theater there have gone relatively untouched over the past 20 years.

“It’s time for a remodel to keep up with the competition,” she said. “… It’s time for us to just go in there and renovate those rooms.”

With Sound Transit planning to construct its Bellevue Transit Center Station for its East Link extension on Northeast Sixth Street and the city working to expand its City Hall Plaza, renovating the Meydenbauer Center makes sense, Graven said.

“� e station being built right across the street from us is huge, and we’re thrilled,” she said, adding that means easier access to the center through public transportation. “We look at that as a huge plus, and the development that goes

along with that.”� e Meydenbauer Center estimates its hosting of events

� e Washington State Patrol has identi-� ed a 54-year-old Bellevue man as being responsible for a two-vehicle collision on I-405 near Kirkland that sent three people to the hospital Sunday.

Steven E. Peterson was traveling north-bound on I-405 approaching 116th Street around 11:19 a.m., when his 1999 Chevy pickup collided with a 2008 Honda Fit driven by Robert G. Meadows, 63, of Bel-

levue, according to WSP. Peterson's truck rolled several times, ejecting his passenger, Stacy Briseno, 45, of Kirkland, who was transported to Harborview Medical Center. Meadows also sustained injuries and was transported to Overlake Hospital.

Peterson was treated at the Evergreen Hospital in Redmond before being booked into King County Jail for allegedly driving under the in� uence of drugs or alcohol.

Metropolitan King County Council-member Larry Phillips will chair the County Council in 2014. Phillips was unanimously selected as council chair on Monday, Dec. 16, by the full coun-cil. Phillips will be joined on the council leadership team by Jane Hague and Joe McDermott, who will be the council’s vice chairs.

Hague represents the Bellevue area on the council.

Hague said she is "proud to lead the 14th largest county in the U.S. forward on positive issues that will move the economy and budget in a bipartisan organization." McDermott said he is "honored that my colleagues have chosen me to serve as vice chair in the coming year as King County will take on critical issues like potential devastating cuts to bus services and our

ongoing funding gap." As the council’s management team, the

chair and vice-chairs work together to set the agendas for meetings of the council and Committee of the Whole and coordinate the referral and scheduling of legislation.

Phillips is the senior member of the King County Council. He was chair of the coun-cil from 2004-2006 and has served as chair of the council’s budget, growth manage-ment and transportation committees.

Hague joined the County Council in 1994, and was elected Council chair two years into her � rst term. She has held most major council leadership positions, as well as serving on the budget leadership team multiple times. Hague’s leadership has also extended to the National Association of Counties, where she served as president and remains a member of the board of directors.

McDermott joined the council in 2010 a� er serving in the state Legislature.

U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene called the recent House approval of a bipartisan two-year budget agreement a “positive � rst step” in reaching a long-term budget that

provides families and businesses certainty.

“I came to Congress to get results and work towards compromises that will allow us to make progress on the biggest challenges facing our na-tion," said DelBene, who represents the state's 1st Congressional District

that includes Medina and the Points com-munities.

DelBene added the budget “li� s the damaging spending caps caused by seques-tration, allowing us to make investments in projects like basic research and education

that will help us create jobs and grow our economy.”

She praised U.S. Sen. Patty Murray for her e� orts to broker the agreement.

DelBene added she is disappointed the measure didn't allow voting on a measure to extend unemployment bene� ts set to expire on Dec. 28.

“House Leadership’s unwillingness to take up this issue will hurt millions of unemployed jobseekers and their families — 25,000 of which are from Washington state,” DelBene said.

She also noted that Congress still must pass a Farm bill, something she said state farmers and families are counting on.

“When Congress returns next year, I will work to urge my colleagues on the Farm Bill Conference Committee to act as quickly as possible to approve a Farm Bill,” DelBene said.

County adopts e� ort to commercialize ideas

� e Metropolitan King County Council unanimously passed an ordinance Dec. 16 that implements a pilot program to recognize King County employees for their innovative ideas developed in the work-place. � is creates a path to develop any commercially viable ideas by employees and bring them to market.

Most research universities have technol-ogy transfer programs to commercialize in-novative ideas but no other state, county or

city is currently operating such a program.With this ordinance, King County be-

comes the � rst jurisdiction in the nation to develop such a program. Councilmember Kathy Lambert led the way in moving the proposal to adoption.

“We have such amazing and talented employees in King County,” said Lambert. “� ey come up with creative and innova-tive ideas. I wanted a system for them to be recognized and to share in the bene� ts of their creativity.”

� e ordinance also provides for an evaluation so any changes can be made that would further enhance the program.

Before making their $10.1 million estate gi� to Swedish, the Reids had already donated $500,000 to the foundation. �e millions they're donating through the Robert and Jean Reid Family Foundation will be received in portions over a number of years and support the medical center's heart and vascular insti-tute and cancer institute.

Robert Reid died in 2011 from congestive heart failure and Jean Reid died in 2012 from cancer.

"We actually did not know that we were such a large recipient in their estate plans, and it was quite a surprise," said Mann. "… We were very surprised to �nd out we ranked so high in their philanthropic priorities."

�e Campaign for Swedish has been ongo-ing since 2007 and ends Dec. 31. �e Reids' contribution is the largest received in that time and adds to a total collection of $128.5

million for initiatives and pro-grams.

“My dad was truly a leader in the greater Eastside community, starting in the 1950s,” said James R. Reid in a statement. “He dedicated his life to his community and to the success of our neighborhood. He’s still known as one of the key players in the development boom which led to the Eastside we see today. Nothing made him happier than knowing that he could make a di�erence in the lives of those around him, and advancing medicine was a cause truly close to his heart.”

�e Wells Fargo Evergreen Village branch was robbed Saturday night (Dec. 14) near closing time on the 1900 block of 140th Avenue Northeast by two men wearing masks and hoodies.

Bellevue Police report two white men entered the bank around 6 p.m. and de-manded the bank teller step away from the counter a�er they'd opened the cash drawer. One suspect jumped over the counter and took money from the register and both men ran away, but never displayed or implied they were carrying weapons.

K-9 units were dispatched and tracked

the suspects to the nearby parking lot, but were unable to locate the two men, accord-ing to police. King County Sheri� 's Air Support assisted with the search, but both suspects eluded law enforcement. People shopping in Bellevue reported a portion of the downtown area was shut down during the search.

�e FBI, which takes the lead on all bank robbery cases, reports the suspects are described as being around six-feet tall and in their late 20s or early 30s. �ey were wearing black hoodies, tan pants and masks.

A Seattle laborer, Smith was found warming up his Mercedes Benz in the driveway of his residence. Bel-levue SWAT members approached the vehicle — all o� cers reporting in their statements — wearing tactical gear plainly identifying them as police.

Bellevue Ofc. Ben Bradley reports a� er Smith was or-dered out of his car, he heard someone trying to break out a window before the vehicle was put in reverse. Ofc. Jacob Childers was identi� ed as trying to break out the passen-ger-side window with the butt of his ri� e as Smith reversed down the driveway and then struck a pickup, pointing his Mercedes south toward the dead-end side of the street.

Bellevue Detective Bryan Hershberger reports see-ing Smith's face before he accelerated forward toward o� cers on the sidewalk leaving them little clearance to move out of the way.

“I could see Russell get a very angry facial expression on his face," Hershberger reported. "Russell scrunched his eyebrows and glared at me as I pointed my duty ri� e at him. I yelled, 'POLICE! STOP' several times in a loud clear voice.”

However, Bellevue Ofc. Curt McIvor reported seeing Smith shi� gears in his vehicle and then cross his arms over his eyes as he accelerated toward the o� cers, who were able to move to either side of the Mercedes as they opened � re.

“I saw one team member (unknown) � ring with their ri� e when they were in front of the car near the passenger side of the front bumper," reported McIvor. "I saw the team member continue to � re and step to the side to avoid being struck by the vehicle, ending up by the passenger door.”

Jacob Bement, Casey Hiam and Jacob Childers, all 28, were identi� ed as the shooters responsible for the 21 shots that struck the Mercedes and the eight that struck Smith. Of those eight, all bullets struck him in the le� side, except the fatal head shot through his right. An

investigator would later report all 21 shots striking the vehicle would have slowed the velocity of the bullets and minimized the threat to surrounding neighbors.

McIvor reports Bement and Hiam later joined him to continue serving the warrant at Smith's home where his brother was believed to still be inside. All three o� cers involved in the shooting were later relieved and sent to the Seattle Police Department.

Seattle Police Sgt. Kevin Aratani reports Seattle SWAT members moved in on Smith's location following the gunshots, but were told to stand down.

“Upon arriving and running towards the suspect's resi-dence, we were all ordered back out as the scene was not safe and secure," Aratani reported. "We asked if there was an outstanding running suspect and were told no.”

Smith was o� cially declared dead at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle — though he was considered dead before arriving — where Bellevue Detective Ellen Inman responded to recover his clothing and other per-sonal items to turn in to the Seattle Police Department. Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo requested the Seattle agency handle the o� cer-involved shooting investiga-tion. Among Smith's belongings turned over by Har-borview sta� was a plastic bag containing miscellaneous pills, reported Inman. No � rearms were recovered from Smith's body or vehicle.

A Washington Department of Corrections o� cer reported Smith showed up at the Seattle o� ce at least once a month and no substances were found in his urinalyses. O� cers had a chance to arrest Smith at the o� ce prior to March 22, but reported lacking enough evidence at the time.

� e jury inquest hearing was slated to start last week at the Bellevue Courthouse, but was delayed a� er Smith's family retained an attorney. A pre-inquest hear-ing took place Dec. 19.

Frederick & Nelson at Bellevue Square. COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center

Frederick & Nelson, Bellevue SquareBellevue Square opened in 1946. One of the most

memorable anchor stores was the now defunct Frederick & Nelson, which was located where Nordstrom is today.

Frederick & Nelson was the � rst anchor store in the newly opened suburban mall, and was the � rst suburban location. Frederick & Nelson’s � agship store was located in downtown Seattle at Fi� h and Pine streets (where the Nordstrom � agship store is today).

A Frederick & Nelson’s employee newsletter from Aug. 31, 1946, describes the opening of the Bellevue Square Store: “Frederick and Nelson’s suburban store at Bellevue opened August 20, to crowds that packed the sidewalks before the 1 p.m. opening hour. Additional sales personnel was (sp) rushed to the store immediately — and everyone was busy until the 9 p.m. closing.”

With the � rst day of business hinting at things to come, Frederick & Nelson quickly moved to a larger location within the mall, and remained in business there until 1992.

Local labor leaders want Gov. Jay Inslee to apologize. He actually had the nerve to say that members of the local Machinists union should be allowed to vote on

a contract that could determine their future employment at Boeing.

We’d like to think the Washington State Labor Council is kidding, but sadly it’s not.

Boeing had o� ered to extend its contract with the Machinists for eight years, essentially guaranteeing that signi� cant work on the new 777X airliner would be done here. However, to do so, it wanted reductions in some bene� ts it pays workers. When the union turned that down, the company sought proposals from other states and communities that might want the thousands of high-paid jobs that go along with aircra� work.

Boeing now has modi� ed its contract o� er to local machinists, backing away from some of the take-backs, but not all of them. Union o� cials won’t let the workers vote on the new contract, saying Boeing withdrew the o� er. � e company says it hasn’t.

� e governor stepped into this mess with a most reason-able idea: let the workers decide for themselves. U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, agrees with the governor. � e 777X would be built in that city.

In a show of solidarity, union o� cials boycotted a reception at the governor’s mansion Monday night. What next, a ban on sending Christmas cards to the governor and his wife?

We don’t pretend to know what’s best for the machinists regarding any Boeing proposal. What we do know is that the people directly a� ected by having a job — or not — should be the ones to decide the issue.

If Santa is paying attention, the union o� cials deserve a hunk of coal in their Christmas stocking.

A tough time of yearI totally understand Editor Craig

Groshart having a tough time getting through the Christmas season with the lousy weather. But I think I may have it worse.

Try to imagine keeping the ho-ho-hos alive while putting decorations on a citrus tree, or putting lights on a palm tree, getting all sweaty in the 70s in Yuma, Ariz., at this time of year.

It's tough to make out the snow-� akes in the blinding sunshine. Singing "Winter Wonderland" just doesn't cut it. And, in an RV park, there are no chimneys for Santa to come down.

So just be grateful you don't have to su� er like I do.

Merry Christmas anyway.Don Riggs, formerly of Bellevue; now Issaquah

Tom should votelike a Democrat

Anyone paying attention to the goings-on in Olympia would know that there’s nothing bipartisan about the Senate “majority coalition” under

the leadership of Bellevue’s Sen. Rod-ney Tom.

Tom, a former Republican, is nomi-nally a Democrat. But he’s been voting and speaking like a Republican.

Recently, when asked about the state Supreme Court’s mandate to increase funding for education, Tom said: “We should never have a conversation that we need new revenue for education.”

Tom and the Republicans are holding the transportation pack-age, including funding for Metro buses, hostage to their demands. � ey want to overturn the prevailing wage (more union busting), weaken environmental requirements for road projects, and exempt transporta-tion projects from the sales tax (thus further starving the general fund). And they won’t allow King County to institute a local funding option for Metro.

Nor will Tom and the Republicans close tax loopholes.

Come on, Tom! Either vote like a Democrat or return to the Republican Party where you belong.Don Smith, Bellevue

Let union members vote� e IAM Machinist Union’s “no”

vote was short fused and largely based

on emotion. Union leadership is urged to let the membership vote on the new Boeing contract o� er.

My hope is that members would focus on the contract and on what a “yes” or “no” vote means for them and their union brothers and sisters. Emo-tional issues of Boeing management’s compensation, stock performance and pro� ts are distractions. � ese are not contract issues.

Without the 777X, Puget Sound jobs will dwindle to a trickle. In 25 years, the number of jobs and Boe-ing’s dependence on the IAM will be insigni� cant. Boeing will have joined automakers with new facilities and newly trained workforces in states with a weaker union presence.

If the 777X is built here, there is also a good case for continuing to build future new model airplanes here.

Union members deserve a vote on the new contract o� er. � e � rst vote was spur-of-the-moment and largely based on emotional hoop-la. � ere has been time for contemplation. � ere is a sweetened contract o� er. � e stakes are high, livelihood versus reduced pensions. It is time for a vote based on careful consideration.Loyd D. Jacobs, Bellevue

T he baby Jesus lies sleeping under the Christmas tree. Without wondering why, you placed him

there, in his manger, surrounded by his parents, an angel descended from the heavens to announce his arrival, a few shepherds, and the three Wise Men who traveled from afar to celebrate his birth. All are placed under a modest roof.

So your nativity scene sits there, surrounded by gi� s, as a reminder of the most signi� cant night of all time. But where did this tradition come from? Who � rst thought to reproduce the nativity scene in their home?

� e � rst nativity scene was created in 1223 by Saint Francis of Assisi. St. Francis

decided to represent it in a concrete way for the celebration of

Christmas mass in order to help his � ock better commemorate the events of Jesus’ birth. � is idea caught on and eventually became an important custom. Today the nativity scene is used in 75 countries.

Made of sculpted or molded � gurines, made of paper, straw, or even chocolate, it adapts to all artistic styles from the most simple to the most elaborate. And that’s

not including the living scenes recreated in many towns and communities each year.

While the word “manger” usually refers to a trough used to feed animals, it takes on a much greater meaning at Christmas. It signi� es the stable in Bethlehem and the extraordinary events surrounding Jesus’ birth. A symbol of simplicity and

divine miracle, the manger under your Christmas tree represents God’s will to be close to his children, and to be close to their hearts and homes. Regardless of the type of nativity scene you choose, or where you decide to place it, remember that is always carries the same message: � e Miracle of Christmas.

Mike Edgar converted his garage into a commercial kitchen 10 years ago to whip up fanciful tiramisus for online consumers. Now the former Microso� employee has expanded his menu and opened up shop in one of the smallest pieces of prime real estate in Bellevue.

“We’ve got the most powerful 96 square feet in Bellevue,” said Edgar from inside his Heavenly Cafe at Bellevue Square, formerly known as Dog in the Park. “Our motto is, ‘Heaven in your mouth.’ ”

Edgar still o� ers up his tiramisu with choice of sauces, but said he’s aiming to capture every customer variable.

For the morning crowd down at Bellevue Square, he o� ers up espressos and sweet � avors in his wa� es-on-a-stick with Heav-enly Whipped Cream, made with French Brandy, mascarpone cheese and heavy

whipping cream — the same as what’s lay-ered with lady � ngers in his tiramisu.

� ere are still hot dogs, which can be paired with Edgar’s homemade Texas chili or encased in his wa� e batter. Lunch crowds can also choose a panini, quesadilla or spanakopita.

Nightly crowds pouring into Bellevue Square for Snow� ake Lane have also kept Heavenly Cafe busy, with orders coming in for desserts, espresso and hot chocolate.

Edgar said he saved money and added an interactive element to his espressos by purchasing a handheld espresso maker that he’ll let people use to pour their own shots if they like.

Edgar wants to keep his gourmet-on-the-go-themed cafe a� ordable, so everything on the menu is less than $6. He’s also sell-ing ingredients and partnering up to sell the type of equipment used in his cafe.

“What I use to make myself, I’m also

going to sell,” he said, adding he’s working on the labeling to sell packages for making his hot chocolate, the co� ee beans he uses and more, including reselling items like his handheld espresso machine. “It’s kind of like this shop. It’s very open and transpar-ent.”

He’ll also bring down some larger orders on tiramisu made at his website, but is quick to remind people he’s into much more now.

A� er 46 years of service in the Eastgate community, the Sjolander family wasn’t going to let a cata-strophic � re let Lil’ Jon customers go hungry.

� e restaurant and lounge on the 3000 block of 148th Avenue South-east was shut down by a kitchen � re on June 13 that caused more than $475,000 in damage. With full insurance coverage, the Sjolanders

were able to keep paying their 42 employees while construction took place over the past six months. Parker Sjolander said 39 are still with Lil’ Jon, which reopened Mon-day (Dec. 16).

“It was longer than we’d hoped, but we’re back and it’s been nice,” said Sjolander. “Getting permits from the city was kind of a struggle. � at was the only downside of it.”

Lil’ Jon was opened in 1967 by Al Sjolander and is now owned by his son, Jay, with Parker Sjolander ready to take the reins when the time comes.

He said the family honored the wishes of their customers that the restaurant come back unchanged.

“We really just kept it the same,”

Sjolander said. “It’s just brighter, newer, cleaner. We knew if we changed it too much, a lot of the customers would be upset.”

� e Sjolanders announced Lil’ Jon’s reopening on Facebook on Dec. 13 and ended up with 55,000 people seeing it through social network sharing.

“� at’s the only thing we did for advertising and it seemed to work, so far. We’ve been slammed the past two days,” said Sjolander on Tuesday. “We’d love to thank the customers for sticking with us and showing the support.”

Investment company Schnitzer West announced Monday its purchase of a property on the corner of 106th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Fourth Street where a 16-story o� ce tower will be constructed.

� e 360,000-square-foot o� ce building and property pur-chase are being � nanced with sales proceeds from Schnitzer’s North Creek properties and will be constructed to Class A+ standards.

Schnitzer reports this is the ideal time to bring in more o� ce space in downtown Bellevue amid a thriving technology indus-try there. O� ce vacancy is only about 6 percent in the central business district.

A Bank of America branch currently located on the Schnitzer West site will be reincorporated into the new tower, which will also o� er street-level retail as has been the model for many downtown towers.

� e new tower is to be the fourth major construction project for Schnitzer West in Bellevue, the latest being � e Bravern completed in 2009 and entirely sold earlier this year.

BELLEVUE REPORTER

For Muhammed Memon, a cricket match is much more than just runs and outs.

A native of Pakistan, where the sport is a national past time and universally treasured, Memon came to Bellevue in 2011 and immediately sought out others who shared his passion for the game.

While there were several teams in the area, it was a loosely confederated bunch without a strong infrastructure and even more troubling, no home � eld.

“Everybody was playing in di� erent groups,” he said. “Last year we decided to come together and form a new club. But the tough part was the lack of a � eld.”

When the season begins again in a few months, thanks to a partnership with the city of Bellevue, that will all change.

� e North Robinswood Play� elds adjacent to Big Picture School now include a cricket pitch, little more than an unspectacular parcel of � eld turf in the center of the larger baseball and soccer � elds for the uninitiated. But within that small strip, Memon and dozens of others will � nally be able to transport the sport of their former homes to Bellevue.

“It takes me back to my childhood, my school, college, everything,” Memon said of cricket. “I have a lot of love for this game.”

Memon and other members of a local team composed of Eastside players used a � eld in Shoreline for a home � eld last year, but will have a much more familiar locale in Robinswood, where some 60 percent live within walking distance.

Glen Kost, planning and development manager for the city of Bellevue, said Memon was the one to open the dialogue on bringing a cricket pitch to the city, no surprise since Memon works for the city of Seattle and has experi-

ence in project planning. “� ere are a lot more people playing, and it is good we

can help facilitate that,” Kost said. “It’s very exciting.” As scores of immigrants from India have relocated to the

Eastside to sta� positions at Microso� , T-Mobile and other tech industry corporations, they have brought various elements of culture along. Perhaps most important of all is

during matches but until recently, had no home on the Eastside.

“In India and Pakistan, everyone knows about the im-portance of cricket,” Memon said.

Games on the national and international level are akin to the Super Bowl in terms of fan support in the country. On the local level, weekend games provide an opportunity for families to come together and share in the camaraderie.

Memon said he hopes by providing a full-time home for the sport in Bellevue, cricket can become even more

integrated into the fabric of the community, even among those unfamiliar with it.

“Whenever we have a game, people are always stopping and watching and asking questions,” he said.

Along with organizing around their new home at Rob-inswood, Memon and other members of the club worked with Lake Hills Elementary to donate a cricket set as part of a class project about English culture and hope to get kids even more interested in taking the pitch.

� ey also have plans to start o� ering a summer camp through the city of Bellevue’s youth programming, teaching kids the basics of the sport and bringing them together through competition and camaraderie.

“� ere is so much diversity,” Memon said of the popu-lation on the Eastside. “With sports, we can help people understand culture.”

AN EVENING OF JAZZTony Rondalone (left) made his debut at the Eastside Jazz Club Tuesday, playing the sax with fellow members of the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra. He played in a quintet led by Clarence Acox (below) on drums. They were joined by Bill Anschell on the keyboard, Phil Sparks on the upright bass and Bernie Jacobs on vocals, sax and flute.The group opened with a selection of Christmas music, including “O Tenenbaum.” They played to a nearly packed house.The Eastside Jazz Club meets at the Courtyard Marriott in downtown Bellevue the third Tuesday of each month.

A history of Duran Duran, told by the band’s postersBY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

When Andrew Golub hosts visitors to � e Archive — the Bel-Red storage unit where he keeps his meticulously organized collection of Duran Duran memorabilia — one of the more frequent comments he says he receives is this:

“I wish I loved something as much as you love Duran Duran.”

Except Golub doesn’t just love Duran Duran. He loves sharing his love of the band, with fellow fans and uninitiated listeners alike. Even the shortest encoun-ter with the excitable, punny Bellevue resident reveals him as perhaps the most positive and personable man you’ll ever meet.

Golub was � rst exposed to the Fab Five when he was an adolescent preparing for his bar mitzvah. It was the early ‘80s, and Duran Duran had just released their

junior LP “Seven and the Ragged Tiger” in November 1983.

“‘� e Re� ex’ (the band’s most success-ful single, originally from the album) did it for me,” Golub said. “� e syncopated rhythms, the cascading harmonies … it just all clicked. � e video was amazing. It

captured the fans at an Oakland concert in 1984. � ey all had such energy.”

Golub fell in love and, over the course of 30 years of networking and acquisition, he transformed into “Duran-dy,” a well-known superfan and collector of Duran Duran memorabilia. � ough his archive includes items like but-tons and the o� cial board game “Into the Arena” (“It has incredibly complicated rules,” he said. “(Fiancée) Christine (Born) and I tried it once, and it just was not happening.”), Durandy specializes in the preservation of what’s known in the collecting world as paper ephemera — items like post-ers and concert programs not intended to survive beyond their useful life. He has perhaps the largest collection of Duran Duran ephemera in the world, at one time loaning a selection to � e Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.

On Dec. 6, Durandy leveraged his labor of love into a co� ee table book.

“Beautiful Colors: � e Posters of Duran Duran” is a photo history of the British rock band told in posters. It includes posters from their formation in 1978 to contem-porary products, and artistic sensibilities ranging from punky, to glam to polished minimalism.

“Here’s one in the book that’s very funny and extremely rare, from early in their career,” he said, giggling as he pointed to a poster, with a penciled note above a group photo. “A record executive wrote ‘Lack of shaved heads; non-trendy.’”

� e book is the product of a six-year labor of love by Golub, and he said he considers it a culmination of his work so far as a collector. It’s been approved by Duran Duran — even receiving a shout out on their Twitter account — and includes a foreword by band keyboardist Nick Rhodes.

Golub and Born, credited as photographer for the book, spent “endless weekends” carefully removing individual posters from � e Archive to be photographed in a home-grown studio. Golub sought publication permissions from rights holders to the images, and used his reputation as Durandy to cultivate items too rare for even his collection.

“It takes, sometimes, some � nagling and explanation that I’m not just a fan looking to put a poster in his bed-room,” he said. “Fortunately, tales of my archive go further

than I would be able to myself.”

BY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

He will be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them all is his real test, to train them is his cause.

While he may not be a Master Trainer just yet, Bellevue 12-year-old Aaron Nolan became one of the newest champions in the trading card game for Pokemon, the Japa-nese import that has proven consistently popular in the U.S. for more than 15 years.

Like the video game of the same name, “trainers” pit six monsters against each other in battle, one at a time. Unlike the video game, they draw cards for attack energy, and other advantages against their opponent. � ere’s a fair amount of chance involved in winning.

“I felt pretty good (about winning),”

Nolan said. “I got lucky. You can just play (a match) and your opponent draws nothing.”

Nolan won � rst place in the senior divi-sion — for players 11 to 14 years old — of the Pokemon City Championship held Dec. 9 in Renton. For his victory, he earned a trophy, 18 trading card booster packs and 50 points toward his ranking in Organized Play of the trading card game — 450 points would earn him an invitation to the world championships in August.

He began playing the card game com-petitively when he was 8 years old, a year a� er receiving his � rst deck. He also plays the franchise video games competitively, competing at the World Championship in Vancouver, B.C. earlier in 2013.

Nolan said he plans to compete in more city championships while on holiday in California.

Newport Jazz Band selected for Savannah Music Festival

The Newport High School Jazz Band has been selected to compete and learn at the 2014 Savan-nah Music Festival in Georgia, March 26-28.

Only 12 high school jazz bands were selected to participate in the festival’s Swing Central Jazz compe-tition and workshop.

“We are very excited,” band director Todd Ma-haffey said.

� e band will work with jazz masters across three days, perform in showcases on Savannah’s River Street and Reynolds Square,

attend performances from other musicians and compete for $13,000 in cash awards, as well as the Faircloth Award.

On March 28, the high school bands will com-pete at the Lucas Theatre for the Arts in shows that will be webcast. Each band will play three predetermined selections: “Straight, No Chaser,” composed by Theloni-ous Monk and arranged

by festival clinician Ron Westray; “Cottontail,” composed by Duke Elling-ton and “Switch in Time,” composed by Sammy Nestico.

The top three bands will receive prizes of $5,000 for first place, $2,500 for second and $1,000 for third. They will also perform in the opening set at the music festival’s production of “Kind of Blue.”
