Plans are underway for a new innovation center campusBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue City Councilmember John Chel-miniak says the University of Washington

is eyeing the Bel-Red corridor to site a new innovation center proposed to pair students and faculty with companies and organiza-tions to tackle global design and technology challenges.

In his annual address on Oct. 15, UW Presi-dent Michael Young announced the appoint-ment of Vikram Jandhyala as vice provost for innovation, a new position to the university, to lead UW’s new “innovation agenda.”

Young wrote in a Seattle Times column the next day that agenda calls for a center in Bellevue that will attract faculty and students worldwide here to collaborate with companies and organizations “in solving some of the globe’s biggest design and technology chal-lenges.”

Young states UW is now negotiating with top research universities around the world to participate. Chelminiak said Monday that

includes a Chinese univer-sity and Councilmember Conrad Lee added another in Europe may be involved in partnership discussions.

Official announcements are expected to be made once memorandums of un-

Overall class sizes are down year-on-year but continued growth could cause problemsBY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

Last year voters approved a $7 million levy to help reduce the average class size in the Bel-levue School District, but it might not have been enough.

This year, enrollment in Bellevue grew by 598 students, 278 more than projected for the 2014/2015 school year, according to the most recent figures supplied to the school board dur-ing Tuesday night’s meeting.

Nearly all of the $7 million was originally go-ing to be spent on additional staffing to meet the increasing number of students and decrease the average class size, but the growth is more rapid than expected, and additional classrooms were needed as well.

Melissa deVita, deputy superintendent of finance and operation, told board members the average elementary class size dropped 1.2 students, but the overall number of students in kindergarten through fifth grade, grew 3.4

A prize horse has gone missing at the annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and a shadowy figure lurks around every corner. But for Jordan Olerud, her service dog Baker, her nurse, Emma, and Jor-dan’s sister, Jessica, it’s just the first mystery to solve for the Giddy Up Girls.

Based loosely on her own experiences in Arizona, the 14-year-old Bellevue author’s first novel, co-written with her friend and nurse Rachelle Sheets (Emma), with help from Jessica, 10, “Mystery at the Horse Show,” is so much more than just a book, it’s proof that no matter your situ-ation, you can achieve greatness, she said.

Since birth Jordan has suf-fered from a series of medical conditions and unique genetic anomalies that limit her physical movement, which requires the use of a wheelchair, stunted her growth, and ability to speak.

Jordan uses a program on an iPad to say what her body is unable to, expressing feelings, answering questions, and writing a book.

“It was important to me to have a character in a wheelchair, because I want to show that people who have challenges can do a lot of fun things,” she said. “Both Emma and I like going on adventures, and we enjoy reading mysteries … After I had finished reading the last book in my

Donald Driver doesn’t hold anything back.

When the former professional football player tells his story to people, they get the whole deal. It’s an emotional and riveting ride dotted with harsh times — experienc-ing poverty and homelessness — that led to victory in the end.

While speaking to the crowd at the Mey-denbauer Center in Bellevue on Monday, Driver stopped for a few seconds as his eyes watered up with tears.

As the 1,400 attendees at Hopelink’s 19th annual Reaching Out Benefit Luncheon fell silent, Driver slowly gathered himself and forged onward to finish his inspirational, gut-wrenching speech.

Driver, 39, grew up in Houston, Texas, in the menacing 5th Ward neighborhood. For about a month as a teen, the boy and his mother and four siblings lived in a U-Haul truck under a bridge.

“We didn’t know where our next meal was coming from. We didn’t know where we were gonna lay our head,” Driver — the Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading receiver — told the Reporter before the luncheon, which raised nearly $940,000 for Hopelink, a social services agency that helps homeless and low-income families.

“Hopelink is that program that gives those families an opportunity. And when you look at that, it puts a smile on your face, knowing that someone really cares for you,” Driver said. “When they asked me to be the keynote speaker, it was easy because I was able to tell my story. Hopelink is saying, ‘We’re not giving you a handout, we’re giving you a hand up,’ giving you an opportunity to better your life.”

The Drivers didn’t have a Hopelink-type organization in their area to lean on, but the family picked up its pieces each day and eventually emerged from its tough situation with a wealth of hope and help from others.

Dealing with homelessness wasn’t the only misfortune Driver experienced in his early life.

In a harrowing, life-changing incident, Driver was ready to swing a baseball bat at his mother’s boyfriend, who aimed a gun to the teen’s head during an altercation at the

apartment where they were living. Driver wore the man’s sweater to school on a cold day and was confronted when he returned home. Driver rushed the man and the gun came out.

Driver’s mom took the bat away from her son, but left the man with the firearm. Driver also noted that his mom told the kids to leave the apartment and live elsewhere because she was protecting her children from her boyfriend.

Driver said he now appreciates every day and every moment and strives to be an ex-ceptional person. Of Hopelink, he told the crowd: “Let’s have faith and follow Hope-link. As we say in football, ‘Ready, set, go.’” His Donald Driver Foundation donated $5,000 to Hopelink.

With Green Bay, Driver won a Super Bowl and is the only Packer to record seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons (he finished his 14-year NFL career with 743 receptions for 10,137 yards). Driver also won a “Danc-ing with the Stars” first-place trophy and is a New York Times best-selling author.

“Everybody has an opportunity to be suc-cessful,” Driver told the Reporter. “I feel like now in my life that anything is possible, but I have to believe that it is.

In its first year Bellevue Preschool Partners has connected dozens of parents with pro-gram directors and professionals who work with young children.

To celebrate, the group is hosting a meeting and light breakfast for preschool providers at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at Bellewood Elementary School, 301 151st Place N.E., and offering solutions to teaching social and emotional skills to preschoolers.

Randi Peterson, Bellevue School District's social emotional learning curriculum devel-oper and Kerste Helms, a parent educator at

two co-op preschools in Bellevue College's Parent Education Program, are slated to share their experiences and offer insight on how to work with preschoolers on those issues.

Paula Steinke, of Child Care Resources, will also give a brief overview of training on early learning conversations.

The volunteer organization, in association with Eastside Pathways, is working with more than 45 local nonprofit organizations to im-prove early childhood education for Bellevue area kids.

A lack of bids has the city advertising again for an independent review of Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project to determine whether it is truly necessary for meeting future energy capacity needs.

Mike Brennan, city development services director, told the City Council on Monday that only one bid had been received for a third-party review of the Energize Eastside project, which will run 18 miles of 230kV transmission lines from Renton to Redmond. That bid came in higher than expected, requiring the city to revise its request to ensure more interest,

Brennan said.The council is responding to strong op-

position by neighborhood organizations within Bellevue that question the necessity of PSE’s project, as well as the heights of power poles that would run through their communities.

Brennan said a request for proposals for a third-party study would be resubmit-ted Tuesday with a two-week deadline for bids. Since PSE’s public outreach strategy started earlier this year, route options for Energize Eastside have been reduced from 18 to four.

COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage CenterBellevue Fire Station, 1947.

Fire Station No. 14Originally, as a rural, unincorporated area, Bellevue did

not have to rely on the county for fire service, but cre-ated its own volunteer fire department (which became Fire District No. 14) in the 1920s. Construction began on the Bellevue Fire Station at 102nd Avenue Southeast and Northeast First Place in 1946.

At this time the fire station was staffed completely by vol-unteers. Frank Gaff was the volunteer fire chief. According to a June 1947 Bellevue American article, this station was designed "not only to meet present needs, but with an eye to the future." This fire station was used for 28 years, until it was replaced by Fire Station No. 1 at 766 Bellevue Way S.E.

Council clears partnership with Seattle UniversityBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue City Council on Oct. 13 approved an agreement with Seattle University to replace the infield at the Bannerwood Park Baseball Field with synthetic turf.

Under a 10-year agreement with SU, the city will cover $120,000 in soft costs related to the $660,000 project and receive a one-time payment of $275,000 from the university, which will continue to make annual pay-

ments of $26,500, with a 2.5 percent increase per year.

The Redhawks have been playing Division 1 ball at Bannerwood since

the program was reinstated in 2009, but has been limited to just playing games. The agreement with the city al-lows the Redhawks to use the field for a minimum of 70 times for games and practices between Feb. 15 and May 31 each year, and at least 20 times from Sept. 7 to Oct. 21.

SU has the option to renew its agreement with the city for five years following the initial 10-year term under the existing rental rates for the field at that time. If it does not take the option, SU will lose any interest in the park.

Question of the week: “Do you own a gun?”

We appreciate the ideals of Initia-tive 1351 and believe reduc-ing class sizes is a tool in the

toolbox to increase educational outcomes. As business leaders, community activ-ists and, most importantly, parents, we don’t oppose public investments in our

schools that improve educational outcomes efficiently and respon-sibly.

Unfortunately, I-1351 is neither efficient nor responsible. It is a redundant unfunded mandate that may not reduce class sizes while burdening taxpayers, school districts, and the

legislature with unbudgeted price tags for dubious ideals.

I-1351 will cost taxpayers approximate-ly $4.7 billion over the next four years with the goal of reducing class sizes in all grades. That’s more money than Washing-ton spends on higher education, nursing

homes, cancer research, and state parks combined.

The Legislature directed the Wash-ington State Institute for Public Policy to answer this question: do the benefits of reducing the number of students in K-12 classrooms outweigh the costs? In kindergarten through third grade the an-swer is yes, and the Legislature is already making progress on class size reduction for lower grades – making much of 1351 duplicative. However, after third grade it was determined that “reducing class size poses a substantial risk of an unfavorable outcome – that is, where costs may often exceed benefits,” making the rest of 1351 extremely wasteful.

And the ideals of 1351 are simply out of reach for some school districts, having neither the capital nor real estate resourc-es to absorb the requirements. Although the Bellevue School District has capital options and is prepared for long-term growth and investment, the district would

You’ll never find a rainbow if you’re looking down.

– Charlie Chaplin, actor/director

QUOTE

OF NOTE

Two initiatives regarding guns are on the November general election ballot. Neither will end gun vio-lence in our society. But one of them – I-594 — at

least has a chance to make people and cities safer. Voters should say Yes to I-594.

A similar measure — I-591 — should be rejected.I-594 is not a radical move on guns and gun ownership. Today, if you go into a licensed gun shop or other

licensed retailer that sells guns, you must pass a crimi-nal background check before you take possession of the weapon. I-594 simply extends that requirement to private gun sales, including those sold at gun shows or over the internet.

Doing that will help keep guns out of the hands of crimi-nals, those with severe mental illness or who are domestic abusers.

Background checks work to keep us safe. Nationwide, such checks have blocked 2.2 million gun sales to prohib-ited people. Even better, in states where background checks required on all gun sales, 38 percent fewer women are shot to death by their partners and 39 fewer fewer police officers are killed with handguns.

I-594 isn’t draconian. You still will be able to give a gun as a gift to a family member. You also could loan someone one of your guns when it’s needed for self-defense.

That said, I-594 won’t end gun violence. Criminals may get their hands on guns — after all, they’re criminals. But I-594 will make that harder for them, which means life will be safer for us.

The other measure, I-591, would make us wait for tighter regulations until Congress acts to do this on a national level. That’s unlikely to happen since the National Rifle As-sociation opposes this and has too much influence on too many of those in Congress.

Vote Yes on I-594. You’ll sleep more safely, and so will your neighbors.

— Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

LETTERS

I-591 a better solution on guns

I have been shooting for 64 years including target, hunting and army service. As a shooter, I have no problem with background checks. However, guns will still be available through illegal channels. I will vote for I-591 because it is better in protecting my rights as a citizen and prevents confiscation of my firearms without due process.

I will not vote for I-594 because I do not trust of the people supporting the initiative and its’ ambigu-ous wording. Many of the billionaires and millionaires supporting I-594 openly oppose the private own-ership of firearms even though they say they sup-port the Second Amend-ment. I also question of the use of the word “transfer”

need 85 classrooms to meet the requirements of 1351. In Is-saquah, officials have estimated it would take north of 100 classrooms – on top of existing class size reduction require-ments, the equivalent of at least five new buildings – to meet the class size reduction goals of 1351. In many more districts, the potential for such growth is totally unreachable.

Even though its ideals are difficult – if not impossible – to meet in school districts around Washington, 1351 still mandates 25,000 additional hires, most of whom will never teach in a classroom. It’s a windfall for the Washing-ton Education Association, explaining why the teachers’

union has spent well over $1 million to fund the passage of the Initiative.

I-1351 is an unfunded mandate that will not improve educational outcomes while recklessly spending billions of taxpayer dollars, further disenfranchising voters. It will burden taxpayers and school districts and line the pockets of special interests. We urge voters to reject Initiative I-1351.

A smart group of ordinary folks, entrusted to advise state lawmakers on the merit of

tax breaks, has a suggestion regard-ing the jumbo incentives enjoyed by The Boeing Co. and the rest of the aerospace industry:

Figure out how we’ll know when they stop paying off.

The five-mem-ber panel with a mouthful of title — the Citizen’s Commission for Performance Measurement of Tax Preferences — concluded last week that

Washington needs a clear means of measuring benefits received from $8.7 billion in tax savings Boeing stands to covet over the next couple of decades.

On a 4-1 vote, the commission recommended that the Legislature “establish specific economic develop-ment metrics and reporting mecha-nisms” for the tax breaks, which are intended to help the aerospace industry grow.

Commissioners didn’t spell out what they thought those “specific metrics” should include, cognizant of the difficulty faced by lawmakers in

devising any degree of check on tax breaks.

They are counting on their broadly worded recommendation to spark a conversation in Olympia. The tax breaks are so big that they shouldn’t be given out unless their value can be justified with an objective measuring stick, commissioners said before the vote.

Leaders of two unions wanted the panel to be bolder — to endorse a requirement that Boeing maintain a minimum number of jobs to receive every dollar of tax savings.

Though that didn’t happen, repre-sentatives of the Society of Profes-sional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) and the Interna-tional Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) applauded the commission’s recommendation.

“This is really the first look at the public’s evaluation of the tax prefer-ence legislation. As such, we find the commission’s recommendation an encouraging step toward accountabil-ity,” SPEEA spokesman Bill Dugovich wrote in an email.

Larry Brown, IAM’s political direc-tor, said the citizen panel is “trying to get closer to where we’d like to see the state when they give tax preferences. We appreciate the progress they’re making but there’s more work to be done.”

The extent of that “work” will be the topic next week when union lead-ers meet with Gov. Jay Inslee.

Union leaders are crafting a bill dubbed the “Aerospace Tax Incentive Accountability Act,” which they hope will link the quantity and wages of jobs in aerospace with tax prefer-ences. They want to make sure firms can’t lay off or move workers — as Boeing has done to thousands of engineers in the past 18 months — without some financial repercussion.

They’ve lined up a few friendlies in the House and Senate, but the gover-nor isn’t rushing to get on board.

The citizen commission’s recom-mendation could bolster their pitch.

“The intent of the Washington legislation was to grow our state’s aerospace industry,” Dugovich said of the tax breaks. “The commission’s recommendation is appropriate — the Legislature needs to ensure tax breaks build our state’s aerospace industry and it’s done with jobs that adhere to established wage stan-dards.”

JERRY CORNFIELD

In Washington state we don’t register firearms. I have no way of proving that I own any of my firearms without a bill of sale. Some of my firearms were given to me as gifts and I don’t have that. The word “transfer” implies the transfer of owner-ship and proof of ownership like a car registration. I have

lent my guns to others on the range or in the field and had them return to me. Will I-594 end this practice of lending? Will I-594 force the registration of firearms in our state? If so how, large would the bureau-cracy grow to administer the registration process and who pays for its operations?

I have other questions about the I-594, but they are too

numerous to raise in this letter. In my judgement I-591 is better is solution to the problem than I-594 and protects the rights honest citizen.

Allan Schneider, Bellevue

I-594 is best option on guns

I have read my voters’ pamphlet, and I am con-vinced that Initiative 594 is

the way to go. The current law requires background checks if someone buys a gun from a firearms store; the law would extend the background check to individual gun sales. So, if someone wanted to sell a gun to some stranger on the Internet, they would have to require a background check first.

The initiative includes common-sense exemp-tions. For instance, no background check would be required if you gave a gun as a gift to a family member,

or if you loaned a gun to a family member for hunting or target shooting. Law enforcement officers and members of the military would, of course, also be exempt from background checks.

A recent letter writer claimed that not even the military or law enforce-ment would be exempt. Wrong. He also said that if a grandfather handed a gun to his grandson to try at a shooting range, he would be committing a felony. Also wrong. I wonder if the

letter writer actually ever read the law or the voters’ pamphlet.

Get the facts. Read the law. Then decide.

Hayne knows the courts

I am supporting Sarah Hayne for the non-partisan position of King County District Court judge, Northeast Division Position 2.

Hayne has worked on the Eastside both full-time

and part time for over 22 years as a defense attorney, prosecutor and pro-tem Judge, while raising her two children. Of the 50 attorneys who are endors-ing in this race and who practice before her oppo-nent in district court, 47 endorse her. She is also the only one in this race to have endorsements from both Democrats and Republi-cans. Additionally, state Sen. Karen Keiser (D) and state Rep. Jay Rodne (R) both endorse her.

Hayne has a deep un-derstanding of our courts and the people who find themselves as participants. She grew up in poverty and knows first-hand the difficulties and complexi-ties that arise from scarce resources.

When she was 10, her oldest sister was brutally murdered and it was never solved. She watched her other sister struggle in and out of the court system with little attention paid to the mental illness that kept her mired in the prison system. She can fully understand how it feels to have the system abandon you as a

victim and fail to address underlying causes as a defendant.

Hayne has my vote and I hope she can earn yours, too.

Senn will fight to fix real problems

I wholeheartedly en-dorse Tana Senn for state representative for the 41st District.

She embodies the values that are important to me and my family. As a working mom of two school aged children, Tana understands the needs and stresses placed on many families in our region, and is able to bring a family oriented view to Olympia. Tana has a vested interest in working on real legisla-tion that provides genuine working solutions to wide and varied problems that affect those in our state. In Olympia, something as straight f orward as fully funding education may be highly contested, but

Members of the Meydenbauer Bay Neighbors Association were not com-forted Thursday to hear future plans for traffic management in Old Bellevue, further scoffing at projections that the downtown area won’t be in gridlock by 2030.

It was the annual meeting of the MBNA on Oct. 16, and city officials came out to update residents on progress with Phase I of the Meydenbauer Bay Park project, as well as traffic, safety and environmental concerns in the area.

Public safetyWith Downtown Park slated for major

improvements and gaining popularity as a gathering spot in Bellevue, residents were curious to know whether it will also be attracting the city’s growing homeless population.

“You are probably going to see more transients in the park,” said Police Capt. Jim Hershey.

One resident said they wanted to see a stronger police presence in the park, but Hershey said officers are there and rou-tinely drive by the area every day. The parks department also provides its own park patrols.

The department is working to fill staffing positions vacated through retirements. Hershey said 15 officers have been hired, but are waiting for spots to open to com-plete required academy training, which may take until March.

TrafficMeasures to improve congestion and

parking on Main Street and the greater downtown area will depend on what’s approved in the city’s 2015-16 budget, said Mark Poch, city traffic engineering manager.

A lack of left-turn lanes on Main in Old Bellevue is part of the congestion prob-lem, Poch said, but older traffic lights are another. The budget proposes to hook those lights to its coordinated adaptive traffic system, SCATS. Detectors would be placed in lanes of travel that can measure traffic flow and revise its traffic light signal schedule in real time.

It will be up to the Bellevue City Council to approve a comprehensive parking study next year, which has been proposed by the Downtown Livability Initiative Communi-ty Advisory Group. There are also ongoing

discussions for a more targeted study of parking in Old Bellevue, Poch said.

Poch told residents an alternative route will be found once 100th Avenue Southeast is closed south of Main Street as part of plans for the waterfront park, adding only one vehicle uses on that stretch of road per minute on average.

“I think it is a plan that can work,” Poch said, eliciting groans from the audience. “This benefits, depending on who the audi-ence is.”

A downtown transportation plan is near-ing completion, estimating today’s 8,000 residents there will grow to 20,000 by 2030.

“The models are showing we will not be in gridlock by 2030,” Poch said, adding more congestion will exist, but should be manageable.

Meydenbauer Bay ParkPhase I for the waterfront park is now in

the design process, which will be directed by the features and amenities outlined in the Meydenbauer Bay Park Master Plan.

Residents asked about the source of water that will be used to create a stream at the westside of the park that will flow into Lake Washington through a delta.

Robin Cole, Phase I project manager, said wetland specialists and geotechnical and environmental engineers are working to identify the source of the underground water flow that already exists there, which is believed to have been covered over more than 80 years ago to construct a road.

That same area will include restoration of a riparian zone through native vegetation plantings.

“I believe English ivy is on the list to be removed,” said Cole, responding to a resi-dent’s complaint over the invasive species being introduced there two decades ago.

The historic Whaling Building also will be preserved and upgraded to meet ADA requirements, but Cole said there are still no plans for what public purpose it will serve in the future. She added many ideas have been offered, such as opening the building for the public to store canoes and kayaks or conducting education programs there.

The public can expect to see preliminary designs with options and alternatives by the first week of December before permits are submitted early next year. Those permits are expected to be issued by mid-2016.

Meydenbauer Bay neighbors wary of Old Bellevue parking, traffic


November's general election is less than two weeks away, which is causing some Washington legislative hopefuls to ramp up their campaigns while others in the 41st and 48th districts appear to be candidates in-ballot only.

House Position 1, 41st DistrictTana Senn, D-Mercer Island, will defend

her House seat for the first time, having been appointed last year to fill the 41st District seat vacated by Marcie Maxwell.

Her opponent is University of Washington student Bill Stinson, a 21-year-old Republican from Bellevue whose platform includes more government accountability and transparency, mending the generational workforce gap and environmental policies that reduce green-house gas emission.

Senn, remained on the Mercer Island City Council following her appointment as a state representative to finish city projects, but said she is considering stepping down if voters grant her a full term in the House.

"I didn't want to abandon those ideas with-out getting them off the ground," she said. "Looking forward, I think it is going to be a much more difficult balance."

Barring any special sessions next year, the Legislature will have 105 days starting Jan. 12 to fill an education funding gap under threat

of sanctions by the state Supreme Court, read-dress passing a transpor-tation package — last year's House plan having died in Senate and find-ing new and old ways to balance a 2015-17 bien-nium budget.

Senn and Stinson say they both support a levy swap proposal by Rep. Ross Hunter, which would raise the state property tax from $2.03 to $3.20 per $1,000 of assessed property value for an added $1 billion in revenue. Schools would

then reduce their levies by the amount of new revenue received from the state.

"Right now, the levy swap is the best idea I've heard but, of course, the devil's in the details," Senn said, adding there are concerns communities with higher property values will end up paying more. "We are going to make sure that there is some balance there."

Senn also supports increasing the gas tax to support major projects in a state transporta-tion project, but new revenue streams will need to be created as more fuel-efficient ve-hicles are hitting Washington roads every day.

Stinson said he's concerned past transportation packages haven't effectively addressed congestion problems on the Eastside. While a gas tax is an effective way of raising funds, he said transportation spending needs to be adjusted before looking at new revenue options.

As Washington looks at furthering its economic recovery following the recession of 2008, both Senn and Stinson say they want to encourage small business growth and entrepre-neurship.

Senn supports raising the threshold for exemption from the business and occupation tax for all business classifications to allow small business owners more opportunity to succeed and grow.

Stinson said he'd like to see the B&O tax scrapped for small business owners and manufacturers and a 1-percent reduction in the sales tax. A revenue replacement Stinson favors that is expected to come up in the 2015 session is a revenue-neutral carbon tax.

House Position 2, 41st DistrictIncumbent Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer

Island, is confident she is running without opposition from Alex O'Neil, an Indepen-dent candidate who has neither been seen nor heard at any political forums in the 41st this year.

"I have no opponent, I can assure you," said Clibborn.

The six-term representative plans to continue chairing the House Transporta-

tion Committee, where in January she said the debate over a long-delayed transportation package will focus on raising the gas tax. Whether it is raised enough for maintenance and preservation or substantially to tackle bigger projects like

completion of the State Route 520 replacement bridge project is yet to be determined.

Motorists crossing I-90 to Seattle, Mercer Island or Bellevue should no longer worry about whether a toll will be placed on the interstate to pay for the 520 bridge, added Clibborn.

O'Neil did not return a call for comment for this article.

House Position 1, 48th DistrictMedina Democrat Ross Hunter isn't concerned about

losing his House position, and has been balancing this year's campaign with ideas on how to balance the state's budget.

He is challenged by Bill Hirt, R-Bellevue, who has cam-paigned solely on an anti-light rail platform. Hirt could not be reached for comment by press time.

The 2015-17 biennium represents the final two years under the state's four-year balanced budget law to be approved next year. Under the four-year plan, new rev-enue projections for the state have already been allocated, said Hunter, who expects to remain chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

"I think this year that balance is going to require more revenue," Hunter said.

Hunter said he's open to raising the gas tax to support transportation, but feels there will be more legislative support next year for state and regional transportation packages that place the cost of improve-ments on those state residents who benefit most.

While his levy swap proposal will allow the state to commit more money to educa-

tion rather than placing the burden on local levies, Hunter admitted voters in more affluent communities will pay more, but still less than the income disparities of those areas with lower property values.

House Position 2, 48th DistrictRep. Cyrus Habib's vie for state Senate left open a race to

fill his seat in the House, which has Redmond Democrat Joan McBride facing Tim Turner, a Libertarian candidate from Bel-levue, for Position 2 in the 48th District.

McBride served on the Kirkland City Council for 16 years, with two terms as mayor. She is endorsed by Hunter and Habib.

She said if elected she will focus on transportation, public health and economic development, with an emphasis on research and development.

Turner, a software engineer in Redmond, said he is focused

on job creation and wage increases, however, he does not support having a minimum wage.

He favors reducing regulations and taxes, especially those he says negatively impact people's ability to run their busi-nesses within the state. He also favors cutting out tax breaks for major companies like Boeing.

He said of satisfying a state constitution-al requirement to increase Washington's contribution to public education that he would look at taking funds from existing sources before considering tax increases.

"I'm not going to cut something that has someone on life support," he said, but didn't immediately know where those cuts should occur. "I would have to go through the whole budget and look at the place

where it would be taken from.""I think the levy swap is a complicated, but very good idea,"

said McBride, adding "It may not satisfy the McCleary de-mands," so more efficiencies in education should be looked at.

Turner said if elected he would like to begin a conversa-tion about weaning the state off of its dependence on taxes by establishing a state endowment fund that would grow through periodic investments in the Washington economy. That would be a 100-year plan, he added.

Senate, 48th District Rep. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland, is seeking to fill retiring

Rodney Tom's Senate seat in the Nov. 4 election, and faces Republican challenger Michelle Darnell, also of Kirkland.

"I think we need to go through the budget with a fine-toothed comb," Darnell said of balancing a biennium budget

that requires filling a funding gap and roll-ing out a transportation package.

A paralegal and borrower advocate, Darnell said she is passionate about mak-ing it easier for people to get help avoiding foreclosures on their homes, which are still too high despite the current economic recovery.

Habib said the state has to resolve educa-tion funding, but will need to do so in a way that doesn't cause crippling cuts to social services.

"I think that's going to be the big-picture challenge," he said, adding he does favor a levy swap. "Wealthier districts, by virtue of higher property assessment, will pay more — that's one of the things that makes property tax a little more progressive than sales tax."

Darnell said there has been too much emphasis on spend-ing and not enough focus on the state's educational system and best uses of existing resources.

The House provided a transportation package last year that never saw a counterpart in the Senate, which Habib said the state can't afford again this year.

"I think I'll be better positioned to do that if the Democrats are in control of the Senate," he said.

Darnell said she could support some increase in the state gas tax, but transportation spending needs to be reprioritized. She said too much money is being spent on public transit and not enough on fixing the state's aging infrastructure.

Village Theatre production aims to wow audiences of the beloved film and bookBY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

The winds are changing, bringing one of the most beloved nannies of all time to Village Theatre next month.

Clutching her parrot umbrella and bag, Mary Poppins (Cayman Ilika) opens Nov. 13, and runs through Jan. 4 at the Issaquah location before it deliv-ers its “Spoonful of Sugar” in Everett Jan. 9 through Feb. 8.

Accompanied by her equally imaginative tap dancing chim-ney sweep friend Bert (Greg McCormick Allen), Pop-pins lands in London to take care of the Banks children, Jane (Mae Corley, 13) and Michael (Jaryn Lasen-tia, 12), creating wondrous

adventures with lessons to learn.When Ilika first heard Vil-lage Theatre was going to

produce Mary Poppins, she knew it was a role she had to perform … again.

“I’ve always loved Mary Poppins,” she

said. “I got to play her when I was 7 years old

and I’ve wanted to do it again ever since.”

Now a seasoned actor, Ilika said her portrayal is much different from her younger self, and Julie Andrews’

iconic performance in Disney’s Academy-Award winning film.

“I adore Julie Andrews, but I’m not her, nor could I be,” Ilika said. “I sing with a much lower register, so hopefully that won’t disappoint any audience members.”

McCormick Allen said his portrayal of Bert is equally different from Dick Van Dyke’s, yet his choices to play the

character so weren’t conscious, but the inclu-sion of some of the more darker elements

from P.L. Travers’ novel cast a slightly dif-ferent image of the story.

“I’ve been dancing since I was 2 1/2, it’s a role I’ve always wanted to play,” he said. “Bert is just a very optimistic guy. Nothing

truly bothers him.”The Village Theatre’s take on the script by

Mary’s bringing a spoonful of sugar


Two sons of the Pacific Northwest, the electronic duo ODESZA, are returning to their roots this week after trav-eling the world on the backs of their beats and their second studio album “In Return.”

Already selling out two shows at Seattle’s Showbox, they added a third, after party show, at Neumos, which sold out almost as quickly.

While the world spotlight has been kind to the duo, gar-nering the attention of hip-hop legends the WuTang Clan, it wasn’t too long ago the twenty-somethings were just two guys in a basement putting tracks together.

ODESZA’s Clayton Knight, of Bainbridge Island, and Harrison Mills, of Bellevue, returned home this week to play three sold out shows as part of their world tour.

Four string musicians are working to change the image of classical music.

Well-Strung, an all male group seamlessly blends the most accomplished historical composers with current Top 40 artists.

The New York-based quartet, formed after their manager Mark Cortale saw one of the violinists playing on the street in Provincetown, Mass., has been garnering national atten-tion for its ambitious vocal and instrumental arrangements.

Edmund Bagnell, one of three violinists in the group, said the main goal is to mash classical and pop in new and unexpected ways.

“When people picture classical music they get a very specific image. Powdered wigs and elaborate costumes,” Bagnell said. “So we’re trying to show the range of classical music. That it’s not just this one thing, but a wide range of music.”

Just like their music, each member represents a very different part of America that all ended up in the country’s melting pot, New York City. Bagnell grew up in South Caro-lina, the other two violinists, Chris Marchant and Trevor Wadleigh were raised in Ohio and Kent, Wash., respectively, and cellist Daniel Shevlin spent most of his life in New Jersey.

While the last tour’s pop songs featured mostly hits from female artists, this tour, with a stop at Seattle’s Neptune The-atre on Nov. 8, will include a wider variety of chart toppers, Bagnell said.

That doesn’t mean the group will stop performing songs by Rihanna, Adele, Madonna or Britney Spears.

“There’s something freeing about being four guys sing-ings songs by women because there’s less expectations about how the song should sound,” he said. “We have four very

different voices, but we can certainly harmonize and it al-lows us to play an ever larger range of songs.”

The group is also evolving theatrically, Bagnell said. In Well-Strung’s early days, each member of the group would tell stories about themselves in between songs. Some were anecdotal, relating to the song they had just played or the one they were about to, while others were mini speeches about one of their passions. Most of it, however, was made-up, scripted weeks before.

“We started as more of a theater group and now we’re more of a band,” Bagnell said.

Tickets for the 8 p.m., show Saturday, Nov. 8, are $33.50.For more information visit www.stgpresents.org.

Classical music’s newest faces are also Well-Strung Clayton Knight, (a.k.a.

BeachesBeaches) of Bain-bridge Island, and Harrison Mills, (a.k.a. CatacombKid) of Bellevue, met in Belling-ham while attending West-ern Washington University through a mutual friend that knew of each’s work.

While Knight’s bubbly dance beats and Mills’ mel-ancholy R&B mixes seemed distant, once the two start-ing working together the pieces fell into place.

Their first release, “Sum-mer’s Gone” had two tracks — “How Did I Get Here” and “iPlayYouListen” — in-stantly leap to number one on several electronic music Internet sites making them an underground sensation.

“It was always sort of a hobby,” Knight said. “At first it was just something to do after class. Our studio was basically the basement of the house on High Street.”

But as graduation loomed for both, Knight, a physics major planning on attending the University of Washington to get his master’s in biology, and Harrison, a design major, set to land a job at a Seattle-based firm, the question

was whether they could take the next step and make their passions into a career.

At the crossroads, Knight and Mills decided it was then or never.

“It was a gamble,” Knight said. “We figured we were young and if we were going to do something that risky now was the time. The wa-ter was warm and we could always go back to what else we were doing, so we just dove it.”

A world tour, dozens of sold-out shows, and two highly successful albums with a third currently in the works, the choice has certainly paid off.

“When we first started our sounds were fairly dif-ferent,” Knight said. “But people loved it, and as we’ve made music over the years our styles have combined and we’re making a lot more similar sounds. We’ve learned a lot about what music we like. At the begin-ning it was more about sampling music and now we’re evolving into writing more of our music.”

The past six weeks ODESZA, their crew, and the two opening acts, Ambassadeurs and Hayden James have travelled the U.S. After a short break the group will take on Europe.

String quartet Well-Strung is bringing their mix of Mozart and Madonna to the Neptune Theatre Saturday, Nov. 8.

Cameron Mackintosh and Julian Fellowes, creator and write of Downton Abbey, features never-before-seen stunts, and dance moves McCormick Allen is eager to show-case.

Co-directed by Steve Tomkins and Kathryn Van Meter, co-musically directed by Tim Symons and Bruce Monroe, the show will feature a blend of traditional songs and dances from the movie, including “Spoonful of Sugar,” “Let’s Go Fly A Kite,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Step in Time,” “Feed The Birds,” and “Super-califragilisitcexpialido-cious.”

Ilika said the 30-person cast and 15-member or-chestra is unlike anything she’s ever preformed with.

“This is going to be some kids’ first show, so it’s magical that I get to be Mary Poppins to them,” she said. “Plus did I men-tion I get to fly?”

The “marathon of a show,” as Ilika called it, has also kept its actors on their toes.

“We’re constantly run-ning around,” she said.

“If we aren’t on stage singing and dancing we’re being hooked up to har-nesses back stage or flying around.”

Working for a breast cancer cureBy Glendon Zinser

Susan G. Komen was founded on a sister’s promise to create a world free of breast cancer. Komen’s commitment to fulfilling that dream is evident in Ko-men being the largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer medical research.

Puget Sound is notable for its promi-nence in medical research resources, and Komen is proud to have invested into this region more than $8.6 million since 1982. Today, we are excited to share news of $600,000 in new funding allocated to research being conducted in the Puget Sound area.

This funding will investigate inher-ited breast cancer, novel therapies and disease recurrence. This funding will investigate metastasis, disease susceptibil-ity in different racial populations, and new markers associated with inherited breast cancer. The Grant awards include:

• $200,000 for continued funding to Komen Scholar Julie Gralow, M.D., of the University of Washington to explore whether there are features found on breast cancer cells at the time of diagnosis that may make the cancer cells more likely to spread to the bone or other sites.

• $200,000 for continued funding to Komen Scholar Benjamin Anderson, M.D., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to continue his profes-sional work in addressing breast cancer

disparities throughout the globe.• $200,000 for continued funding

to Komen Scholar Mary-Claire King, Ph.D., of the University of Washington to screen for mutations in the non-cod-ing regions of breast cancer genes that may regulate when and where those genes get activated, potentially identify-ing novel mutations and new mecha-nisms for inherited breast cancer.

King is known for her discovery of the BRCA1 gene more than 20 years

ago. Studies have shown that muta-tions in BRCA1 and BRCA2 combined with other known ge-netic risk mutations account for about one third of hereditary breast cancers.

The last 32 years have brought about astounding changes in the way people look at, talk about, diagnose and treat

breast cancer. The more than three mil-lion breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today are proof of how far medical re-search has taken us in both early detec-tion and improved treatments. But that work is not done until we have ended breast cancer forever, for ourselves, our children and future generations. With your support, one day we will make that promise a reality.

favorite series, ‘The Boxcar Children,’ I could not find another book series that I wanted to read. So, Emma and I decided to write out own series.”

Jordan is already working on the sequel, something her parents weren’t sure was a possibility.

Unable to swallow food,

Jordan doesn’t have the strength or balance to walk without assistance. She suffers from seizures, which medications can’t seem to curb, and an immune defi-ciency leaves her vulnerable to infections.

None of that was going to stop Jordan, she’s is a fighter, she wants to travel, she has plans, and nothing is going to stop her attain-ing her goals, her parents said.

In 2000, her father, two-time World Series cham-pion, John Olerud, signed with the Seattle Mariners, a homecoming for the Bel-levue native and Interlake High School star. He and Jordan’s mother, Kelly, were hesitant to take her with them in 2002 to Spring Training in Arizona, leaving all of her doctors back in the Pacific Northwest, but if they hadn’t, they may never have met Rachelle.

“It was scary, leaving all of our great doctors here,” Kelly said. “But one day we all went to church and we walked into the nursery with Jordan and there was Rachelle.”

Rachelle, a neonatal spe-cialists, formed an instant bond with Jordan, she said. Her parents call her “an answer to prayer.”

Over the course of the next 12 years, the two became so close, Rachelle and her family grew to be an extension of the Olerud family, John said.

Jordan and Rachelle are so in tune with each other, the two often communicate without uttering a single word, he said.

“Trying to communi-cate with Jordan can be difficult at times, which is why I’m so proud of her to

have done this,” John said referring to the book. “To go from a hypothetical idea, to actually getting through it and now working on a second is so impressive … although we should have expected it from her.”

The second book in the series, tentatively titled “Fi-asco at the Fashion Show,” comes from Jordan’s love of clothing and style.

Recently, Jordan got a behind the scenes tour of the Vogue fashion show in Bellevue. Next month, she and her sister, Jessica, are traveling to Arizona to visit Rachelle and will get to model some of the newest trends in Nordstroms’ fall fashion show.

Although Jordan de-clined to give any other details about the next book in the series, she and Jessica did say they have a fairly good idea who the villain will be, and who will help the girls solve the next mystery.

Written for readers ages 8-to-12, Jordan said young-er children will also enjoy having it read to them.

“I have had some adults say that the enjoyed the story, too,” she said. “I hope families will use our book for family reading time.”

The book is on sale now through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. All pro-ceeds from the book will go to help finance the Jordan Fund, a nonprofit organiza-tion the Olerud’s built to provide support to special needs children and their families.

The Novel Tree plans November opening


The Novel Tree is poised to become the second recreational marijuana shop to open in Bellevue with its licensure finalized this week.

Owners Chris McAboy and Allie Charneski are in the final stages of remodeling the former site of A Better Bath and Kitchen at 1817 130th Ave. N.E., and hope to open their pot shop in

early November.The buildout started in July, after McAboy

and Charneski spent time gathering ideas at shops in Colorado and Amsterdam, but the inclusion of reclaimed wood from an old Sodo warehouse for much of The Novel Tree’s interior is meant to be a nod to the Pacific Northwest and the growers they depend on to

Hanging Squash-o’-Lanterns• Choose small squash or large root vegetables, such

as turnips.• Cut off the tops and discard.• Remove all the seeds and hollow out the insides

with an ice-cream scoop or a melon baller, until the sides are half a centimetre thick.

• Using a felt pen, draw the outline of a face on a vegetable, then cut it out with a serrated knife. Do the same for each lantern.

• With a metal skewer, make a small hole towards the top, on both sides of the face. Thread a piece of twine or a leather shoe lace through each hole, cut it to the right length, and knot it on the inside.

• Cover the bottom with a small piece of aluminum foil, position a tea candle on the foil, and light it.

• Hang the lanterns on a tree branch, a post, or along a clothesline. For an indoor decoration, string them in a garland above the fireplace.

Kemper Development submits plans for J.C. Penney remodelBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Kemper Development Company has submitted plans to the city for remodel-ing its Bellevue Square anchor building to be vacated by J.C. Penney next month,

making room for a number of smaller boutique shops.

J.C. Penney has been at Bellevue Square for 55 years, but announced earlier this year its plans to close the store on Nov. 1 to maximize the company’s long-term growth and profitability.

Rather than seeking another large retailer, Kemper Development plans to reconfigure the roughly 190,000-square-foot anchor building to provide small retail space for an unspecified number of new businesses.

According to plans published in the city’s Weekly Permits Bulletin, 12,152 square feet will be reserved for a com-mon mall area with 144,416 square feet of

smaller retail shops to occupy the three floors of the J.C. Penney building. Addi-tional ground-level parking will be made available on the west side of the building, adding 64 stalls.

KDC spokeswoman Jennifer Leavitt said the company is not yet commenting on how many new retail spaces will be cre-ated with the remodel nor is it confirming which retailers may be filling them.

City, college host first Startup WeekendBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue isn’t lacking in business start-ups, and more may be coming out of the woodworks this weekend as the city and Bellevue College host a 54-hour competi-tion that ends Sunday with final pitches by ambitious entrepreneurs to a set of high-level judges.

Startup Weekend Bellevue starts today at City Hall with entrepreneurs, designers and developers being matched into teams with coaches to create the best pitch for a panel of judges in order to win prizes that could push their business concepts closer to reality.

“You’re fully immersing yourself in the

startup weekend and the startup culture,” said Jody Laflen, dean of the Institute for Business and Information Technology at Bellevue College. She and several members of her staff will also be coaches to startup teams. “There’s no idea too big or too small, and that’s the exciting part.”

Laflen said in her position she has been looking for ways to create a resource hub for entrepreneurs curious about the startup culture, and colleges have been behind many such successes in cities like Denver, Austin and Charlotte. This first startup weekend will be a good way to gauge how to grow such events in Bellevue in the future, she said.

From being a Prosecutor, a public defender, and a judge pro-tem I have the right experience to be an e� ective District Court Judge.

Too o� en I’ve seen how people in the court system are le� with no access to justice. Too many times I have seen our justice system fail. It rewards those with access to resources and punishes those who don’t. � is is not acceptable. We need a judge who will serve with dignity and ensure everyone has access to fairness, compassion and accountability in the court. I am that judge. I ask you for your vote.

fill their shelves, McAboy said.

“Really this was just our vision of what we thought would the coolest and most functioning pot store,” he said.

The Novel Tree will pro-vide marijuana and edibles at its opening, including a number of locally crafted glass smoking pieces, with concentrates to be added

to its stock later. McAboy said a number of grow-ers are ready to stock The Novel Tree’s shelves, with more outdoor growers in eastern Washington close to harvest.

“There are some that are ready to go as soon as we get that hard permit,” McAboy said.

He added the shop hopes to make available a number of marijuana strains under $20 per gram and others around $25-$30 per gram. Seven bud-

tenders have been hired to assist customers with their purchases, and Charneski said she was surprised by their level of professional-ism.

“They’re as excited as we are,” she said.

The first recreational marijuana store to open in Bellevue was Green-Theory, and has been operating on Main Street since Oct. 6.


NOVEL TREECONTINUED FROM PAGE 15Nintex names former Seahawk,

Coinstar CFO to company boardSTAFF REPORTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue-based workflow automation company Nintex an-nounced Tuesday its appointment of pro-football hall-of-famer Steve Largent and former Coin-star chief financial officer Brian V. Turner to its board in an effort to fortify its financial and business acumen.

Largent, who played for the Seattle Seahawks before taking on a presidency with CTIA — The Wireless Network and former congressional seat in Oklahoma, will bring his lobbying experience

for sensible wireless regulations to the board, according to a Tuesday statement by Nintex.

Nintex provides 5,000 public and private organizations in 90 countries with software and cloud services that support workflow automation, including 200 of the Fortune 500.

Turner, who served as CFO with Coinstar — now Outerwall — was tapped for the work he did with the company between 2003 and 2009, raising revenue from $120 million to $1.3 billion in that time through a well-planned diversity strategy, according to Nintex.

Some experts said Pruett, who was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old, would never speak and never be in regular school. The 15-year old currently is enrolled as a freshman at Newport High School and speaks proficiently. Why would his desire to race cars be any different?

Latrell’s father, Ethan, said his family was determined to make sure Latrell lived a normal life and it has payed dividends.

“When he was diagnosed, we just got this whole list of ‘nevers’ that he would never do,” Ethan Pruett said. “We never believed that. He started speaking when he was around six and his language skills started developing about three or four years ago.”

Once Pruett’s language skills developed, he professed a desire to drive race cars in the Quarter Midgets of America Associa-tion. Latrell started when was 11 years old, which isn’t the norm.

“Most kids start at the age of 5. Most of the drivers he was going against had been driving already for the past five years,” Ethan said. “It took him a little while to get

over the hump. This year was the year he became so dominant.”

The track itself, which consist of a 1/20th of a mile track with 10 cars per race, requires each driver to make split-second decisions.

“The fastest cars on the track are go-ing about 50 miles per hour. When you extrapolate that to a Nascar track on a mile course, these drivers have to process infor-mation at 220 miles per hour. Everything happens so quick and they have to react ridiculously fast,” Ethan said.

Latrell finished the 2014 QMA season with two championship victories, two-third place finishes and seven track records. La-trell’s finest victory came when he captured first place at the Quarter Midget Regional Championship in September. The Pruett living room is filled with trophies and plaques courtesy of Latrell’s performances.

“Some of the track records he set were held since 2006, some of those that he beat were considered unbeatable and were retired track records. He went in and

Sammamish Totems boys golf head coach An-nette LaBissoniere made a promise to her team when practices kicked off in late-August.

LaBissoniere, who is in her first season as the Totems boys golf coach after coaching girls high school golf teams the past 13 years, said she would get a personalized license plate dubbed "SHSGOLF" if the Totems brought home a trophy from the Class 4A state golf tournament.

The Totems are definitely on the right track. They finished the regular season with a 9-1 overall record and won the Class 3A/2A KingCo League champion-ship on Oct. 6.

The Totems sole loss of the regular season came against the Interlake Saints. Sammamish will compete in districts Oct. 25.

Totems' golfers who will compete in districts consist

of Matt Marrese, Matt Brooks, Jacob Riley, Ryan Park, Aidan Thain, Andrew Fink, Ziz Ellinger, and Josh Choi. LaBissoniere said Marrese, who has already committed to the Univer-sity of Washington Huskies golf team, is the team's top golfer. The Totems avenged their regular season defeat against Interlake at the KingCo tourney.

"We beat them (Inter-lake) pretty handily in the pre-season but lost by three points in the regular season. We ended beating them during the KingCo tourna-ment. It was just one of those days where we golfed really well," LaBissoniere said. "Most of the time our guys all golf within two or three strokes of each other. When one person struggles,

somebody else steps up their game."

LaBissoniere said the To-tems are intensely focused on competing at the highest level possible.

"They're out there to win and not just out there to play," she said. "They believe they can win and they push each other. These golfers have the mindset that they want to get as many players as we can to place at state."

Only time will tell if LaBissoniere eventually will have a new license plate on her vehicle.

"It has been on the fore-front of their minds. They say they want to get me a new license plate," she said.

Totems gearing up for golf districts

Patrolling between the posts Bellevue senior Quinlan Hughes is thriving in position switch to goalie

BEYOND THE

ATHLETE


Going into the 2014 season, the Bellevue Wolverines boys water polo team knew they needed a reliable goalie in order to compete for their fourth consecutive water polo state

championship.Wolverines' senior Quinlan Hughes, who

played hole-defender for the past three seasons, volunteered to make the switch from the field to between the posts. The process to getting accustomed to his new

position began in the off-season and con-tinued through the summer and even early

season practice sessions."We knew we didn't have a goalie that would be continu-

ing on to the varsity team from last year because both of our goalies were seniors. When I was doing my off-season train-

ing my coaches told me it might not be a bad idea to try out some goalie," Hughes said. "I knew we were in desperate need of one so I put in the work to do it.

"It wasn't until the season started that the work I put in really started showing. Being a goalie is completely different. It feels like I'm contributing to the team a lot more now than I was when I was playing back at hole-defender. It was a great deci-sion by the coaches."

Bellevue has put together an overall record of 10-4 through the first 14 games of the season thus far. Hughes admitted there's an added pressure when you're the last line of defense for your team.

"I was a little apprehensive at first because it felt like there was a lot of pressure coming on to me. The biggest transition is going from a lot of swimming drills to leg drills to prepare

for the switch," he said. Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask

Hughes a few questions about his life away from the pool:Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?Quinlan Hughes: "Iron Man" is one of my favorites. There is a lot of nostalgia with that movie. BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?QH: Silent car rides. I just want to turn on the music, zone out and drive. I hate silent drives. They are the worst. BR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2015?QH: I'm definitely picking the Seattle Seahawks. There is no doubt about it. I believe in my boys. BR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?QH: I took Taekwondo from third grade until seventh grade.BR: What is your favorite hobby away from water polo?QH: I'm a huge video game fan. When I'm not watching Netflix, doing homework, water polo or school activities, I'm usually playing video games.


QUINLAN HUGHES

just crushed it,” Ethan said. “The things he’s accom-plished are pretty remark-able for anybody, let alone having autism.”

Latrell’s mother Jennifer couldn’t be prouder of her son’s accomplishments.

“It’s been absolutely amazing. We’ve never really thought of Latrell as being unable to do anything in particular. It’s really been a blessing to get him into something that he can excel at really well,” Jennifer said.

Latrell said crossing the finish line in front of other competitors is a thrilling

experience.“Winning first place and

amazing everyone is really fun,” Latrell said. “It’s a pretty cool feeling.”

Joey is a 2-year-old Miniature Pin-scher/Chihuahua mix. He enjoys spending his time with his human companions and, if you aren’t giving him enough attention, he will be sure to tell you with a quick bark. Joey would do well in a home where he would get

the love and attention he thrives for. Margarita is a shy 4-year-old white with grey domestic shorthair. She’s a little scared at first, but once she has that person to take on the world with, she will warm right up to you. Mar-garita is currently spending time in one of our cat suites, where she gets lots of

attention from our volunteers every morning. Both are at the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue,

located at the intersection of I-405 and I-90. It is open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. For directions call 425-641-0080.

Oreo is a 7-year-old female domestic long hair, chocolate point and white. She is a total sweetheart that loves to talk...and sometimes she has a lot to say. If you want to get her motor going, just give her some gentle scratches and a nice petting. She can be a little shy with strangers, and will just

need a little patience when brought to her new forever home, and she would do best in a home with no young children.

Oreo is available at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent, located at 21615 64th Ave S. Adoption hours: 3-6 p.m. Monday, noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. 206-296-PETS or [email protected].

David Bales, commander for the academy in Burien.

When the economic recovery began, agen-cies holding off on filling vacancies or adding staff began hiring again, Bales said.

At the same time, the number of retiring officers began to spike. Thirty per-cent of officers in the state started working between 1979 and 1984.

“When you put those two things together, the demand for basic train-ing at the Criminal Justice Training Commission has spiked in the last year and a half,” Bales said.

Classes grew from nine in 2013 to 14 this year, with plans for another increase to 20 next year. Basic training takes up to five months to complete, which means overlapping basic training classes.

“That really almost exceeds my capacity in Burien for training,” Bales said.

Adding more basic training classes this year hasn’t made a substantial difference in the wait time, dropping from six months

several months ago to about five months now. The goal is to reduce that time back to 1-2 months. If an agency were to request officer training today, Bales said they wouldn’t be able to get in until March, at the earliest.

Bellevue Police Capt. Jim Hershey told the Mey-benbauer Bay Neighbors Association on Oct. 16 the department is waiting on 15 new officers to com-plete academy training, but there are not enough spots available.

Police Ofc. Seth Tyler reports the BPD is allowed three spots per academy.

The WSCJTC will reopen its satellite academy at the Spokane Police Depart-ment’s training center, with its first class starting Jan. 6. Trainers for the satellite fa-cility completed their own

training on Oct. 17. “It’s something we have

done periodically over the years,” Bales said of reopen-ing the satellite facility, “but every time we do it we have to select a new staff and train them up and make sure we can replicate the program correctly.”

With so many law enforcement officers now retiring, Bales said the academy has also in-creased its focus on public service and guardianship due to many agencies lacking older officers to provide mentorship.

Next year’s increase in classes are dependent on approval of a supplemental budget to be included with the WSCJTC’s 2015-17

biennium budget.“We have told the

governor’s office we have to go forward with these additional classes,” Bales said.

Miyo Numoto1921 to 2014

Miyo passed quietly on October 10, 2014 in Lynnwood, WA at the age of 93. She was the last living member of her family. She joined her brothers Roy and James Kawase, sister Masae Kawase, and parents Kirino and Yasukichi Kawase.

She was born on June 11, 1921 in Auburn, WA where she grew up. She married Cano Numoto in 1947 and joined him on his farm in Bellevue, WA where they raised sons Phil and Bruce and daughter Jennie. Miyo was a devoted housewife who was always there to support her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed gardening and her roses and dahlias were appreciated by the neighbors. She enjoyed making homemade jam, baked bread, and preserved vegetables and fruits from the garden. She was happiest at Christmas when she baked cookies, pies, and cinnamon rolls to share with friends and family. She enjoyed the Mariners and Ichiro. After learning she had diabetes in her mid-40’s, she was a model for us all as she walked 2 to 3 miles almost every day and provided us with a diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. Her spirit and kindness were appreciated by all who knew her.

Miyo is survived by daughter Gidget (Jennie) and her husband Dennis Terpstra; son Phil Numoto; son Bruce Numoto and his wife Sue; two grandchildren, Chris Terpstra and his wife Kristin, and Carrie Terpstra Farsai and her husband Steve Farsai; and four wonderful great grandchildren.

An additional 13.5 FTEs were added this fall once the district realized the pro-jected growth was nearly

50 percent higher than initially planned.Currently there are only two elementary classrooms with 30 students compared to the 11 classrooms that had at least 30 last year, deVita said.This year, Woodridge, Phantom Lake and Clyde Hill elementary schools grew more than the aver-age enrollment. Tillicum Middle School saw the largest drop in average class size, from 28.3 students for core classes last year, to 24 in 2014/2015.Staff is currently identify-ing how to further reduce class sizes, while monitor-ing this year’s enrollment and what impact those smaller class sizes may be having on students.

derstanding are finalized, Chelminiak said.

“I think we are finally coming to realization,” said Lee of the complex project.

Redmond-based computer and software giant Microsoft is a founding partner in the innovation center, and will also be one of those companies Young described as providing hands-on projects for UW students.

“I also have a little skin in the game

with the Bel-Red plan,” said Chelmin-iak, “and it looks like that might be the location for it.”

The City Council adopted a vision and revised zoning for the Bel-Red corridor after nearly five years of plan-ning that aims to create 10,000 jobs and 5,000 new housing units there by 2030 while leveraging future light rail to drive economic development. The $2.3 billion Spring District mixed-use development has been the most publi-cized project in Bel-Red, and will have light rail service running through it and into Redmond in 2023.

Jandhyala, director of the applied

computational engineering lab at UW and former chairman of the Electri-cal Engineering Department, has been actively involved in promoting the university’s innovation agenda in his new vice provost role, Young said.

“Dr. Jandhyala is already working to create platforms to integrate in-novation through cross-disciplinary teams best practices and access and collaboration with community innovators to make learning and experiences in the area of innovation available across the entire university and beyond,” said Young in his Oct. 15 address.

to Tana this is something that is non-nego-tiable for the families of this state.

We need people like Tana, who are not afraid to fight for legislation that will fix real problems to help people — be it families, children, the elderly or working people. Tana is ready to tackle the issues most dear to so many of us such as championing our schools, creating jobs, improving transpor-tation and protecting our environment.

With a master’s degree in public adminis-tration, experience in communications and work on the Mercer Island City Council, Tana has the tenacity to get the job done in Olympia. Tana is the type of representative we need here in the 41st.

Senn stands for strong schools, safe communities

If you see a young woman dressed in light blue walking through your neighborhood and knocking on doors, say “Hello.” That’s probably your state representative Tana Senn coming by to introduce herself.

Rep. Senn was appointed to the Legisla-ture last fall and is now running her first leg-islative campaign to keep that position. I met her back in June when she was making the rounds in my neighborhood. I have to say, she was the last person I thought it would be when I heard the doorbell ring. But I’m glad I had the chance to chat with her.

I like what she stands for: strong public schools, safe communities, and a focus on is-sues affecting families. During our conversa-tion, I mentioned that my daughter, a recent

college graduate, has been working with a non-profit organization that works to reduce gun violence across the country. A few days later, I saw that Rep. Senn had found an article that my daughter wrote and shared it on her Twitter and Facebook pages. I am thrilled to have this kind of engagement from my elected officials.

I encourage you to look up Rep. Senn’s campaign. She has certainly earned my vote.

Pam Szkutak, Bellevue

PSE plan not best for long term

Do PSE customers want to be stuck paying hundreds of millions of dollars for “Energize Eastside” over the next 40 years when it has a stated usable life of only about 15 years?

According to PSE, by 2030 we will be right back in the same predicament. If your neighborhood is spared this time, next time you may not be so fortunate.

The Eastside needs alternatives with lon-gevity. We are an environmentally-conscious region as well as a high-tech region. Our energy solutions must embrace and reflect those values and needs. The character of our cities and neighborhoods do not deserve to be desecrated by outdated 130-year old pole-and-wire technology — short-term solutions that residents and businesses will pay for over the next four decades.

PSE’s proposed “Energize Eastside” project may be the most expedient solution to the growing Eastside’s electricity needs, but it’s not the best solution. The truth is, huge 130-foot-tall electricity transmission lines will damage our beautiful city. “Energize Eastside” are not typical neighborhood distribution lines. “Energize Eastside” are high-voltage 230kV long-haul transmission

lines. Overhead high-voltage transmission lines pose safety and health risks, as well as quantifiably increase pollution.

We have not exhausted all possible alterna-tives. We can do better. We must demand better. Ask the Bellevue City Council to re-start the process of determining the Eastside’s electricity growth needs, looking at all viable options.

Russell Borgmann, Bellevue

Critic of letter about salute misses the point

A recent letter writer did not like my com-ments of President Obama’s latte salute to the Marine standing at attention saluting his Commander In Chief as he got off the heli-copter at the White House. The writer should completely read and understand what he is complaining about.

I had already acknowledged that not all presidents have rendered proper salutes in the same situations. My point was that a salute from a civilian is not so much about how perfect the salute, but the respect shown to the military person being saluted.

I agree with the writer that we should be focused on fixing real issues in the world – I hope the next presidential election will result in such a leader.

I also agree with the writer, “The world needs love and compassion, not division and political posturing.” Please send that note to President Obama, who I believe, has been one of the most divisive presidents to ever sit in the Oval Office.

Regardless of the writer’s view, I am glad that he still has the freedom to express that view in our great country. And contrary to his comments, I believe I am pretty much in touch with the real world – I have seen

a lot of it as a 20+ year veteran. And to the critic of my writer, I ask, did you serve our country in preserving our freedoms? If you did, you would understand the importance of a respectful salute from the Commander In Chief.

Larry Brickman, Bellevue

Bellevue needs policies for growth

Although there are many benefits to the growth and redevelopment happening in Bellevue, there are also growing pains like fre-quent traffic jams and PSE’s Energize Eastside project, which will leave a scar of transmis-sion lin. This has left many wondering, is this what balanced and sustainable growth looks like? Or are we pursuing growth as quickly and cheaply as possible, at the expense of our quality of life?

Bellevue was selected as the second most livable city in the nation in a recent survey. That’s not something that happens by ac-cident. We benefit from the hard work and sacrifices of leaders who came before us. Now it’s our turn. With smart planning and policies, we can grow while maintaining the beauty and character of our city.

For example, the city needs to adopt poli-cies that encourage energy efficiency. It is hard to believe it is still legal for developers to install cheap electric heat that causes electric-ity levels to spike on a cold winter day. We need to accelerate efficiency upgrades for our street lights.

Please ask the City Council to step up and do what is needed to preserve the Bellevue we love so much. Send them an email at [email protected].

There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.
