� ose meandering by Tracy Lynn Green’s culinary arts class-room at Newport High School this fall may smell an array of spices
or the sweet syrup poured on top baklava. When they’re not sneak-ing bites of their Turkish creations, Green’s students will be cooking some of the recipes she sampled during her trip to Turkey this summer.
Green was one of seven Puget Sound-area teachers to partake in the trip through the Turkish Cultural Foundation. Each took
away real life examples they can use to supplement their history, literature, art and even culinary arts curriculum.
“I was so happy that the Turkish Cultural Foundation was will-ing to take culinary arts teacher. Turkey had a really rich hospitality heritage, but the culinary school I went to and a lot of others are

King County Public Health is investigating an E. coli outbreak a� er � nding multiple cases stem-ming from the Los Chilangos food truck and shutting down the shared
facility in Bellevue used to prepare it’s and other food trucks’ food.
“Public Health is currently investigating an outbreak of E. coli O157 – one of the most serious foodborne illnesses you can con-tract,” Public Health spokesperson Lindsay Bosslet said in a commu-
nity post online. “Our thoughts are with the families a� ected by this outbreak, and we appreciate the support of the community as we work to protect the health of the public.”
At this time, there have been six con� rmed cases of E. coli, includ-ing one child, and a potential link to the Los Chilangos food truck is being investigated. Of those infected, three people have been
hospitalized. Los Chilangos’ Bellevue and
other locations were recently closed by the Public Health department. Los Chilangos serves food at seven farmers markets in King and Snohomish Counties, operates two food trucks, and also caters events.
As of Tuesday, none of the loca-tions have since been allowed to

A� er more than a decade on the run in Mexico, the suspect in a Bellevue cold case was arraigned on Tuesday, Sept. 1 on charges relating to a 2003 rape of child.
In 2003, Victor Cerda was charged with two counts of rape of child in the second degree a� er he was accused of having sexual in-tercourse with a female cousin who was 11 years old at the time.
Shortly a� er he was charged, Cerda � ed to Mexico. A King County judge issued warrants for his arrest when he failed to appear for his arraignment in September 2003.
Four years ago, Bellevue cold case detectives began working with the U.S. Marshals Service to attempt to locate the suspect in Mexico. A� er years of work and international coordination, Cerda was arrested in January by Mexican authorities at the request of the U.S. Marshals at an address

Bellevue Police unveil newest team member: Ozzy
BY ALLISON DEANGELISBELLEVUE REPORTER
� e Bellevue Police Department held a meet-and-greet on Monday. Aug. 31 for the newest member of their department– Ozzy, a two-year-old police dog.
Ozzy is a German Shepherd from Slova-kia. He was purchased from Vohne Liche Kennels in Indiana at the age of 16 months.
Ozzy completed over 400 hours of basic training in about four months before becoming certi� ed as a police dog. He is trained in tracking, criminal apprehension,
building searches, area searches, master protection and evidence location.
He is one of three K9 units the Bellevue Police have, along with Ghost and Roc. Ozzy was purchased with funds from the Bellevue Police Foundation.
Each of the dogs lives and trains with a member of the Bellevue Police Depart-ment.
Ozzy works and lives with his handler, O� cer Bradley. When he is not work-ing, Ozzy reportedly enjoys playing fetch, wrestling with his human and laying on the couch.

A 51-year-old man died on Sept. 1 a� er coworkers found him facedown in a 10-foot-deep trench in a construction project on on the corner of 116th Avenue and 4th Street.
� e man, who was identi� ed as Phillip Cruz by the medical examiner’s o� ce, was found facedown in two feet of water at the
bottom of the trench around 9:45 a.m. His cause of death was later identi� ed as drowning, according to the medical examiner’s o� ce.
Construction workers removed the man from the water and began CPR. � e Bellevue Fire Department responded to the scene and were able to resuscitate the victim and transport him to Overlake Hospital, where he later died.
Coworkers said he had been acting normally, but hadn’t been seen for 10-15 minutes before he was found. His death is reportedly still under investigation by the Bellevue Police Department.

Washington State’s historic drought is pushing Lake Washington and Lake Union below the normal annual 20-foot mark for the �rst time in 28 years, and o�cials antici-pate another foot drop.
Lake levels typically hit the 20-foot mark in December, according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Senior Water Manager Ken Brettmann. �e measurement went below 20 feet, o�cially measured at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard, around 9 a.m., Aug. 25. �e lowest recent recorded level below 20 feet is 19.44 feet, measured in late October 1987.
�e Corps usually begins raising lake levels in February, reaching 22 feet by late May. �e higher level helps meet water use between June and October when in�ows are generally low, providing water necessary for �sh passage, navigation and salinity control. Water is slowly consumed throughout the summer, until it reaches the winter level typi-cally in early December.
�is year, early concerns prompted Corps o�cials to speed up the annual re�ll reaching a 21.95 foot elevation in early May.
“�e low snow pack and early forecasts prompted us to accelerate the annual re�ll compared to normal years, and we also start-ed water conservation e�orts in April, which
is unprecedented,” Brettmann said. “Based on weather predictions, forecast in�ows, and expected evaporation we anticipate the minimum lake level this year to be about 19 feet, about another foot down from where we currently are.”
Brettmann and Corps o�cials are urging everyone to prepare for a minimum as low as 18.5 feet. Early conservation measures the Corps implemented, limiting smolt �ume usage for juvenile salmon and maximiz-ing lockage e�ciency, has so far saved an equivalent of nearly a foot of lake level. Without those conservation measures, the minimum projected lake level would be 18 feet, below the current record low 18.35 foot level recorded in 1958.
“�e locks sta� has done an excellent job of e�ciently using the locks to move ves-sels and save water,” said Brettmann, who oversees reservoir regulation at all Corps Western Washington projects. “Recreational boaters are waiting up to an hour, perhaps a little longer, depending on vessel tra�c. We understand the hardship for many associ-ated with the lake dropping below the 20 foot mark, but this is an extreme year.”
Brettmann added it’s unlikely that next year will be this extreme, but it’s important people be prepared.

It has been everywhere in the news. It is back to school time, and media outlets are reminding parents to get their children immunized. Public health o� cials say that
vaccination rates are up across the nation and that fewer people are opting out. The national data also showed that just 1.7 percent of parents in 2014 sought exemptions from state vaccination requirements. Yet within our own enlightened state of Washington, the news isn’t so good. It is one of 11 states with vaccine ex-emption rates above four percent. The Centers for Disease Control found that state exemption rates range from 0.1 percent in Mississippi (which does not allow exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons) to 6.5 percent in Idaho. In order to protect the larger community, vaccina-
tion rates must reach 95 percent. Yes, some people cannot be vaccinated for medi-cal reasons. But everyone else needs to get with the program. KUOW reported that last year, public health o� cials found that just two-thirds of toddlers in Wash-
ington state were fully vaccinated by age 3. Another news report indicated that in Seattle, only 81 percent of eligible children have received a polio vaccine. Polio! It is unimagi-nable that such a terrible disease, declared eradicated in the Americas, could return. So far this year, 159 people in the United States got measles, including a handful in Washington state. Many were traced to the Disneyland outbreak. Of that number, 71 were unvaccinated or had an ‘unknown vaccination sta-tus’ (67). Twenty-nine of those unvaccinated were infants, who were still too young for the vaccines. Those 29 babies did not have any choice in the matter. They and their parents had to rely on the majority who vaccinate not only to protect themselves — but also their families, neighbors and friends. That is what a community or civilization does.
Mary L. Grady, editor
No more opt outs
‘Washington is one of 11 states with high vaccine opt out rates.’
To the editorBack to School is the time for healthy lunches
With the new school year just around the corner, parents’ attention is turning to school clothes, supplies, and lunches. Yes, school lunches!
In past years, USDA had used our nation’s schools as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodi-ties. Not surprisingly, one-third of children have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Gradually, the tide is turning. New guidelines mandated by President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, require doubling the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no meat for breakfast. A survey released last week shows the guidelines sup-ported by 86% of Americans.
64% of U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools, including the entire school districts of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia, and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. Some schools have dropped meat from their menu altogether.
As parents, we need to work with school cafeteria managers and our own children to encourage the avail-ability and consumption of healthy, plant-based school foods. Entering “vegetarian options in schools” pro-vides lots of good resources.

Unfair treatment of Academic Institute
I feel compelled to write and defend the Academic Institute in Bellevue. My son was a full time student there and was one of seven AI graduates in 2013. My son did not play football. He was a student that could get lost in a typical 30 person class at Bellevue High. The personal-ized and nearly one on one attention and instruction that AI provided was a very successful approach for my son. A lot of kids fall though the cracks at a public school. Jennifer Vice, AI school administrator, would not let that happen. They provided discipline and a clear defined path to graduation. They did not let him just get by, they helped him excel. They assisted with college applications and future direction. Calling it a diploma mill is extremely disrespectful to the students and the school.
David Bocek
Student helped by Academic Institute
The Academic Institute [has been the subject of several media reports]. Comments include labeling the school as a “diploma mill”, that the school had a “relaxed stance on attendance”, even that grades could simply be changed by anyone. The article sites a teacher who worked at the school for less than a semester four years ago as the source of this information.
I am disappointed that a news-paper could print such inflamma-tory, unsubstantiated statements with little regard for the impact on a small
school and the students for whom such an institution is essential.
My son, Matthew, is a student with high-functioning Autism. Public school, both in Issaquah and Bellevue, was a continuing night-mare of my son being pushed through grades with 30 other chil-dren, including, as just one exam-ple, a non-communicative special needs student to whom the schools assigned a full-time teacher’s aide. No homework, little class participa-tion, but passed forward a grade each year. Overwhelmed and overlooked, Matthew might have continued being pushed through the system: truly a public “diploma mill”.
My husband and I researched local private schools. Many simply don’t provide for special learning needs. For his fifth grade year, Matthew attended a one-to-one program that catered to his academic needs but lacked daily social contact with peers.
Enter the Academic Institute.The small class size assures students
receive personal teacher attention while also allowing for peer interac-tions every day in a safe, friendly environment. My son’s teachers, as

well as Jennifer Vice, are always happy to discuss any concerns and build creative solutions to meet any chal-lenge.
Jennifer has helped facilitate communications between the teachers and Matthew’s outside profes-sional resources. She took it upon herself to visit the therapy center and had therapists visit the school so there would be better collaboration between the two. This demonstrates her dedication to the success of a student. I don’t imagine any “diploma mill” would
take such an interest.Matthew will be attend-
ing his second year at TAI and we couldn’t be happier with his progress. He is suc-ceeding academically. He is comfortable in his learning environment. He has devel-oped a good rapport with his teachers and school-mates. He is fully able to demonstrate what he has learned, proving he is not simply being pushed along for the price of tuition.
We strongly recommend The Academic Institute as a viable alternative to the standard public school environment for any stu-dent.

BY CHRIS WINTERSTHE EVERETT HERALD
�e Bellevue developer of a hotel, apartment complex and farmer's market in downtown Everett and Kirkland is under investigation by the federal government for alleg-edly bilking overseas investors out of millions of dollars.
Lobsang Dargey, the CEO of Path America and the builder of the Potala Place development, is being sued in federal court by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Com-mission.
�e civil complaint, �led Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, says Dargey fraudulently raised more than $125 million through sales of securities to at least 250 investors.
In particular, funds raised for downtown Everett's Potala Place building and the 40-story Potala Tower skyscraper in downtown Seattle allegedly were misap-propriated, sometimes redirected to other projects. �e government also contends money was diverted to buy a luxury home in Bellevue and make cash withdrawals, including at several casinos.
Potala Place, which occupies half a block at Grand Avenue and Wall Street in Everett, has not opened. It is a 220-unit apartment building with 60,000 square feet of retail space, including the Potala Farms boutique grocery-cum-farmer's market.
Potala Tower has broken ground, but a web camera feed on the project's webpage just shows a hole in the ground with some construction equipment.
Path America is a highly visible local example of how the government's EB-5 visa system works. Foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in a project that generates or preserves at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers may qualify for residency in the United States.
Dargey and Path America used the EB-5 system to raise money from Chinese investors by encouraging them to invest in Potala Place and Potala Tower.
However, the suit alleges that, of the $125 million raised, $17.6 million has been misappropriated.
Among the charges: $14.7 million has been used in separate real estate projects under Dargey's control — Potala Shoreline LLC and Potala Village Kirkland LLC. �ose projects are not eligible for the EB-5 visa program.
Dargey also is accused of using $2.5 million in investor funds to purchase a home for himself in Bellevue and making cash withdrawals of about $350,000. More than $200,000 of the money was withdrawn at 14 di�erent casinos in Washington, Nevada, California and British Columbia, according to the complaint.
Dargey allegedly promised his backers that their investments would make them eligible for U.S. residency. He failed to reveal that those investments would not qualify under the EB-5 program if they weren't used for those dedicated projects, federal o�cials say.
Details are provided in the complaint and hundreds of pages of supporting documents. Among other things, they show that each investor who bought a $500,000 partnership interest in either of the two Path America projects also was charged a $45,000 administrative fee. �e investment capital was wired to an escrow account in the U.S. while the administrative fee was wired to an account in Hong Kong.
Approximately $41 million was raised from 82 Chinese nationals for the Potala Place and Farmer's Market in Everett. About $85 million was raised from 170 Chinese nationals for Potala Tower in Seattle.
Backers were told that the capital raised for the Everett project also would be invested in Everett Hospitality Co., the Dargey-controlled company that built the new 122-room Hampton Inn in Everett next to Potala Place. �e hotel opened in 2014.
According to the complaint, on Sept. 9, 2014, he trans-ferred $1.5 million from the account for the Potala Tower project in Seattle to an account in the name of Dargey Development, another company which he controls.

BY ALLISON DEANGELISBELLEVUE REPORTER
Crossroads Mall o�cials have agreed to change a �ag displayed at their food court a�er locals complained about the o�ensive nature of the Vietnamese �ag on display, one that was created by a government that forced many Vietnamese-Americans out of the country.
“Now that we have been made aware that some of our customers were uncomfortable with it, it will be removed as quickly as possible,” said Crossroads Shopping Center Marketing Director Sue Popma. “�e message that we want to convey to the public is that all people are welcome at Crossroads, regardless of their nationalities or di�erences.”
�e �ag currently on display is the Flag of the People’s Army of Vietnam, the northern communists that worked with the Viet Cong to defeat the American forces during the Vietnam War, and are currently the ruling party. It is one of many international �ags painted above the entrance to the Crossroads Public Market food court.
As Popma pointed out, the �ag currently displayed is recognized by the United Nations. But while it is the na-tion’s o�cial �ag, resident Huy Duong and many other Vietnamese immigrants in the area �nd it o�ensive and its display callous.
For those that escaped the Communist regime and thousands of others who �ed Vietnam a�er the war, that �ag represents an oppressive, murderous, and ruthless administration and brings back terrible horrors, Duong said. He likened it to displaying the Confederate �ag or Nazi swastika.
Across the United States, the �ag has been widely
debated. Cities, businesses and other organizations across the country have come under �re for using the Flag of the People’s Army of Vietnam.
Former Bellevue Mayor Don Davidson signed a proc-lamation committing the city to the use of the Heritage and Freedom Flag. �en-Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn also called for recognition of the South Vietnamese �ag in 2010, and a resolution doing the same was passed by the Seattle City Council in June.
“We are not cultural experts, and we have not done exten-sive research on the history or meaning of any of the �ags. �e �ags are displayed merely for decorative purposes and are not intended to make a political statement of any kind,” Market-ing Director Sue Popma wrote in her response to Duong.
Popma repeated that statement in an email to the Reporter, adding that prior to the recent feedback they had received, they were unaware that there was anything po-tentially o�ensive about the
Vietnamese �ag.Duong, however, said he was �abbergasted by the
response he received from Popma. He said he found the comment that Popma and her team aren’t “cultural experts” sarcastic and insensitive.
“I understand the intention, but anytime you use a �ag, you can’t say it’s just for decoration. Flags have meaning behind them,” he said.
More than a hundred people shared a post Duong made on Facebook outlining the issue, and several people wrote
emails to the mall’s management team asking them to change the �ag. A similar post Duong made on Reddit elicited a conversation over the mall’s response.
“It’s understandable to goof and not research beforehand, but a�er being informed of why the �ag is o�ensive and hurtful, you’d think an ounce of sensitivity would be due,” one Reddit user wrote. “It seems �ippant and rude to claim ignorance as a way of de�ecting any responsibility.”
Popma said that her team never intended to sound callous to the issue, and was simply responding to one of multitudes of emails they receive every day.
“Each and every individual may not feel that their par-ticular suggestion or request was responded to as quickly as they would like or in exactly the manner they had hoped for, but it is certainly our hope that our integrity and com-munity spirit are apparent in every decision we make,” she said.
A replacement �ag has already been ordered, and is expected to be installed in a few weeks.

In the city’s � rst year on the list, Bellevue drivers ranked near the bottom of Allstate’s “America’s Best Drivers Report”, and are reportedly 40 percent more likely than the national average to experience an auto collision.
Based on Allstate claims data, the average driver in Bellevue will experience an auto collision every 7.1 years, which makes resi-dents more than 40 percent more likely than the rest of the country. Seattle was the only other city in the state exceed the national average of every 10 years.
New this year, the report also provides informa-tion about what Allstate is calling a notable factor in collisions – braking habits. � e company report-edly found a correlation between hard braking and collision frequency.
A hard braking event is
de� ned as slowing down eight miles per hour or more over a one-second time interval.
Allstate found that driv-ers across the country will experience on average 16 hard braking events for every 1,000 miles drive.Bellevue ranked highest amongst Washington cities, and the only city to come in above the national aver-age on hard braking. For every 1,000 miles driven, Bellevue drivers reportedly have 19.8 hard braking events per 1,000 miles.
Recently, the National Safety Council estimated the U.S. is on track for its deadliest driving year since 2007. For the � rst six months of 2015, NSC reported tra� c deaths are up 14 percent from a year ago, and serious injuries are 30 percent higher over the same period.

State patrol seeks witnesses to hit and runBY MEGAN CAMPBELLREPORTER NEWSPAPERS
� e Washington State Patrol is looking for any witnesses to an Aug. 27 hit and run collision that ejected an Auburn couple from their motorcycle on Interstate 90 near Issaquah, according to Trooper Chris Webb.
� e male victim, 28, underwent surgery at Har-borview Medical Center a� er su� ering a broken wrist, clavicle and ankle.
� e female victim, who turned 27 that day, su� ered a broken arm in three places. She was discharged from the hospital, but might have to undergo surgery.
It was her birthday request to go for a ride that night, Webb said in an email.
� e victims were trav-eling westbound in the HOV lane around 9:35 p.m. near State Route 900 (around exit 15) when they were struck, according to a witness, by a maroon, mid-1990s
vehicle, possibly a Honda or Toyota.
� e suspect struck the motorcycle while passing on the le� shoulder of the highway. � ere should be damage to the right rear door or right rear quarter panel of the vehicle.
� e driver sped from the scene and was last seen going westbound on I-90 approaching Bellevue.
State patrol detectives ask anyone with informa-tion to contact Detective Brody Ford at [email protected] or 425-401-7742.

very euro-centric,” she said. “� ese types of opportuni-ties bring so much to our classroom that you may not have otherwise.”
Altogether, 22 teach-ers from across the U.S. spent two weeks traveling through Turkey before returning on Aug. 4.
During the expedition, organized by the Turkish Cultural Foundation in cooperation with the World A� airs Councils of Amer-ica and its local chapter in Pittsburgh, Green and her fellow travelers visited cultural and architectural landmarks and interacted with Turkish educators in Istanbul, Gelibolu (Gal-lipoli) and Troy, Canakkale, Bursa, Kusadasi, Pamuk-kale, Ephesus, Konya and Catalhoyuk, Cappadocia and Ankara.
“� ere is no better way for a teacher to get excited about teaching a subject than having actually been there,” said Meltem Ercan, Program Coordinator for the Turkish Cultural Foundation. “Turkey re-ceives almost no or only passing reference in the American school system. What we hope the teachers take home is...that Turkey played a key role in history and is poised to play a key role in its region and the
world today.”Green quickly began to
realize the extent of Tur-key’s in� uences and the role is has played in cuisine, she said. As the general border between East and West, Turkish dishes o� en re� ect both in� uences.
“Turkey is the intersect of two continents – Eu-rope and Asia, and it was a gateway to both,” she said “� ere’s a lot of crossover from what we know as Greek food, like the � at bread they eat and a great cheese that’s similar to feta.”
� e Turks are also cre-ative with vegetables, brais-ing their vegetables for than Western cultures do, and skinning eggplants, drying the exterior and grinding it up to use as a spice.
Green quickly became infatuated, and said that this school year, her cater-ing students are serving Turkish food or nothing at all.
Although there was nor-mally 6,000 miles between them, Green said Turk-ish teachers share similar frustrations and concerns around education. � e American contingent were joined on their trip by two young Turkish teachers, and visited an elementary school and a high school.
“� ey have the same challenges we do– funding, the challenges of where you live, so on and so forth. Education kind of always gets shortchanged, and that was as evident there as it is here,” she said. “It was an amazing opportunity to go and travel together and learn from each other.”
Teachers are selected a� er a rigorous process,
submitting recommenda-tions, a lesson plan, and an essay on how they hope to bene� t from the tour and bring their experience back to the classroom. � ey also were given reading to complete before the trip that Green said made her see how experiences such as hers bene� t students.
“We had a lot of reading going into it, and it was hard to wrap your head
around, but now that I’ve been there, it makes it so real. It makes it come alive,” she said. “Like, before I le� , I was trying to make sense of what’s going on with their government and the Syrian border and other things. Now that I’ve been there and have a frame of reference, they make more sense.”
� e next day, Dargey transferred another $1 mil-lion from the Potala Tower account directly into an ac-count controlled by Dargey and his wife, Tamara Agassi Dargey, according to the complaint.
� en on Sept. 14, 2014, Dargey used nearly $2.5 million from the account in his and his wife's names to purchase a home in Bellevue. � e purchase was made in the name of Belle-wood Farms Trust, the ben-e� ciaries of which are the Dargeys.
Tamara Agassi Dargey is the sister of tennis star Andre Agassi. She is not named as a defendant in the suit.
� e suit also alleges that Dargey withdrew about $350,000 in cash from both the Potala Tower and Potala Place accounts between Oc-tober 2012 and June 2015, mostly with a debit card or at a bank or casino teller.
From 2012-15, Dargey allegedly diverted $7.5 million from the Potala Farmer's Market and Potala
Tower accounts to an ac-count in the name of Potala Village Kirkland.
In 2014 and 2015, Dargey also shi� ed a total of $7.2 million from the Potala Tower to purchase property in Shoreline, the complaint alleges.
� e Securities and Ex-change Commission has asked a federal judge to approve a restraining order prohibiting Dargey or his companies from raising more money from inves-tors, selling any securities of any business interest
they own, and freezing all their assets.
One of Lobsang Dargey’s companies, Path America, issued a public statement Sunday saying that it did nothing wrong soliciting millions of dollars from Chinese investors to fund various real estate projects in Snohomish and King counties.
� e company also said it has retained a Seattle law � rm to “aggressively” defend the company while also cooperating with the U.S. Securities and Ex-change Commission.

NEW OFFICE OPEN IN CROSSROADS AREA
BY ALLISON DEANGELISBELLEVUE REPORTER
A group of “solar super-heroes” sprang into action to install solar panels on the roof of the new KidsQuest Children’s Museum on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
� e four superheroes, out� tted in blue and yellow costumes, installed 16 solar panels onto the roof of the building. � e panels were donated to the museum by the Solarize Bellevue program contractor, A&R Solar.
“� e Board of Direc-tors and sta� at KidsQuest Children’s Museum are grateful for the generous donation from A&R Solar in support of the Solarize Bellevue program,” said KidsQuest board member Pete Miller. “Generat-ing electricity on the roof of our new building will help us reduce operating expenses, allowing us to spend more of our revenue on excellent programming for children. We are also excited to incorporate this feature into our educational programming on renewable energy.”
� is is the second system donated on behalf of Solar-ize Bellevue– last year, the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club Teen Center received a free unit.
� e KidsQuest Museum will relocate from their current location in the Mar-ketplace @ Factoria to the building on 108th Avenue N.E. in fall 2016.
King County press release:Bellevue neighborhoods that have to
battle � ooding during winter storms will receive assistance with the unani-mous approval of grants by the King County Flood Control District (FCD). � e funds the projects will receive are from an FCD program that focuses on both � ood prevention and � ood mitiga-tion.
“We are thrilled to help fund solu-tions with the city of Bellevue on � ooding issues a� ecting local streets, trails and agricultural e� orts such as blueberry farming near Larsen Lake and along the Kelsey Creek corridor,” said Flood District Supervisor Jane Hague, who represents Bellevue on the Flood Control District.
“Flooding doesn’t just occur along our major rivers, but throughout communi-ties in King County,” said Reagan Dunn, Chair of the King County Flood Control District, whose district also includes Bellevue. “As such, the Flood District’s grant program targets local � ood reduc-tion projects that will help to reduce � ooding in communities across King County.”
A total of $2.8 million in grants were available in 2015 for projects through-out King County. � e funds were awarded on a competitive basis by the Flood Control District. Eligible appli-cants included homeowner associations, private non-pro� t organizations or asso-ciations, schools, special districts, tribes and King County jurisdictions.
Two Bellevue drainage projects receive flood grants
The projects receiving funding are:Upper Kelsey Creek Stream Channel Improvement, $94,540: The e� ective-ness of the drainage improvements in the Upper Kelsey Creek basin has deteriorated since they were built in 1992. As a result, adjacent residential and agricultural land-owners are plagued by � ooding. The replacement of culverts by bridges in three locations will alleviate these � ooding issues and improve � sh habitat.
Drainage remediation at Current Condo-miniums, $40,000: The project objective is to eliminate structural � ooding by connecting a stormwater outfall pipe to a nearby stormwater pipe system.
Funded projects must be completed within 36 months of receiving funds.

According to a new study, lice in 30 states are becoming resistant to many common treatments for the parasite, including para-sites in Washington.
� e research, which was presented at the 250th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society, found that lice were developing resistances to pyre-throids, a family of insecticides, including the active ingredient in most lice-control products, called permethrin.
“We are the � rst group to collect lice samples from a large number of populations across the U.S.,” says Kyong Yoon, Ph.D and lead researcher. “What we found was that 104 out of the 109 lice populations we tested had high levels of gene mutations, which have been linked to resistance to pyrethroids.”
According to Yoon, the resistance has been building for many years, with the � rst case in Israel in the 1990s. Yoon also reported one of the � rst cases of pyrethroid-resistant lice in the US in 2000 while a graduate student at the University of Mas-sachusetts in Amherst.
“I was working on insecticide metabolism
in a potato beetle when my mentor, John Clark, suggested I look into the resurgence of head lice,” he says. “I asked him in what country and was surprised when he said the U.S.”
A� er the discovery, Yoon expanded his research and contacted local schools to collect samples. He tested the gathered parasites for genetic mutations know as kdr, or knock-down resistance mutations, which desensitize an insect’s nervous system to pyrethroids.
� e most recent study cast an even wider net, asking for lice gathered from more than half of US states, including California, Texas, Florida, Maine and Washington. � e most pyrethroid-resistant lice were found in New York, New Jersey, New Mexico and Oregon, and had up to three mutations.
According to Yoon, lice can still be con-trolled using medications available only by prescription, but that this solution isn’t the cure.
“If you use a chemical over and over, these little creatures will eventually develop resistance,” Yoon says. “So we have to think before we use a treatment. � e good news is head lice don’t carry disease. � ey’re more a nuisance than anything else.”

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER
As the school year starts, the Bellevue Reporter takes a look at how the Newport Knights, Interlake Saints, Sammamish Totems, Bellevue Christian Vikings and Bellevue Wolverines will fare on the football � eld during the 2015 high school football season.
NEWPORT KNIGHTSHead coach: Drew Oliver (Second year)Last year: 10-3 (Lost to Bothell in the Class 4A semi� nals)Key players: David Kim, RB/LB; � omas Day, RB; Chris
Orrico, OL/DL; Dylan Murphy, TE/DE
It may be a new year, but the Newport Knights football program isn’t changing its mode of operation heading into the 2015 season.
� e Knights, who went 10-3 last year and advanced to the Class 4A semi� nals, are excited about having the opportu-
nity to put together another memorable season the gridiron. “We talked on the � rst day about this season being a
brand new chapter. � ese guys have responded,” Knights Head Coach Drew Oliver said. “� ey are working hard each and every day and are trying to get better. � at is our mantra. Every time we get a chance or opportunity we want to get better.”
Oliver said the Knights 2015 team motto is “No Next time”.
“� at has been a theme of practice. � e guys have the mindset, don’t wait for the next time, do it now,” Oliver said.
� e Knights will rely on the legs of senior running back � omas Day this fall. Day rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season. � e Knights biggest question mark will be the of-fensive line due to the loss of 2015 graduates Calvin � rock-morton (University of Oregon) and Nolan Richardson.
“� ose guys (� rockmorton, Richardson) le� a legacy of obviously great play but they were great leaders as well,” he said. “� e guys behind them have been waiting for their chance and their turn. Now it’s their turn.”

INTERLAKE SAINTSHead coach: David Myers (�ird year)Last year: 3-6 (Didn’t advance to the playo�s)Key players: Duncan Varela, QB/DB; Naoki Harmer, WR/DB; Tieler Sheheen, TE/LB; John
Palagashvili, OL/DL; Billy Jensen, QB/DB; Anthony Karymskaov, OL/DL
Interlake Saints Head Coach David Myers said his team returns a plethora of dynamic play-ers o� of the 2014 team.
�e Saints have athletic players at nearly every skill position on the �eld. “�e experience is at our skill positions. We have a lot of returning starters including a �rst-
team all-league receiver (Naoki Harmer), both of our starting quarterbacks (Duncan Varela, Billy Jensen) and our tight end (Tieler Sheheen). Our line is young but we’re excited about their potential,” Myers said. “We have a team full of great leaders. One of the things we value greatly about these guys is the level of support and togethernesss they have developed from top to bot-tom.”
Myers, who is in his third season as the Saints’ head coach, has put his stamp on the football program.
“�e most important thing to me is to make sure that football is a good experience for our players. We want them to feel supported, pushed and valued as young men,” he said.
SAMMAMISH TOTEMSHead coach: Todd Craig (Second year)Last year: 3-5 (Didn’t advance to the postseason)Key players: Dominick Hampton, RB; Andrew Rudasics, OL/DL; Dez Hampton, OL/DL;
Kenny Nguyen, OL/DL; Kobe Vaifo’oa, OL/DL; Nathan Jones, OL/DL; Devonte Braswell, RB/LB
�e Sammamish Totems football squad was the ultimate underdog in 2014. �e Totems, who had less than 30 players on the varsity team last season, won three games
and weren’t blown out by any opponent they faced. Totems’ second year Head Coach Todd Craig expects his team to continue its ascent this season.
“I think we started to change the attitude and change the culture (last season) to where we didn’t let what we didn’t have be an excuse, therefore guys started to believe and started to buy in,” Craig said. “Even in the games we lost, we didn’t get shutout in any games and we still scored plenty of points. We showed that we can compete and I think that will carry over big into this year.”
Craig said the majority of the varsity players from the 2014 squad return this season.
“We have guys who believe they can win. We are certainly getting there and are becoming closer as a team. �e kids are putting in the work,” Craig said. “�e leadership is there. We have vocal leaders and silent leaders. Our vision is coming together.”
BELLEVUE CHRISTIAN VIKINGSHead coach: Todd Green (�ird year)Last year: 1-9 (Didn’t advance to the playo�s)Key players: Christian Miller, OL/DL; David Postma, QB/LB; Dylan Parsons, RB/S; Taylor
Paulson, CB/WR; Alex Irizarry, C/LB; Daniel Ficca, RB/S
Wins and losses aren’t the most important aspect of football to Bellevue Christian Vikings Head Coach Todd Green.
Green, who played football and graduated from Paci�c Lutheran University in 1993, exudes the late Frosty Westering mantra of competing against your best self on the gridiron. Green said the team has embraced the “Frosty” way wholeheartedly.
“�ey have taken it on and it is really theirs now. �ey own it and have been really responsive to it,” Green said of his players. “�ey have a great mindset have de�nitely bought in for sure.”
Green believes if his team does the little things right that success will follow. “We are trying to focus on not just the win/loss barometer. Obviously we want to win and we
want to be competitive. Our goal is to compete every play. As a coaching sta� we are trying to teach the kids the only play that matters is the one right in front of you,” he said.
BELLEVUE WOLVERINES Head coach: Butch Goncharo� (16th year)Last year: 13-1 (Lost to Eastside Catholic Crusaders in Class 3A state championship game)Key players: Justus Rogers, QB/DB; Tyson Penn, WR/DB; Isaiah Gilchrist, RB/DB
�e 67-game winning streak the Bellevue Wolverines had put together over the past decade was derailed courtesy of a 35-13 loss to the Eastside Catholic Crusaders in the Class 3A state championship game. �e Wolverines, who return starting quarterback Justus Rogers, wide receiver Tyson Penn and running back/defensive back Isaiah Gilchrist to the 2015 roster, aren’t the kind of team that rebuilds, they instead reload. �e Wolverines have a multitude of stellar players on its roster and will open the season at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11 against national powerhouse Bishop Gorman (Nevada) at Bellevue High School.
�e Wolverines will play without the guidance of Head Coach Butch Goncharo� in early season action. As the Bellevue Reporter previously reported, Goncharo� was suspended for two games a�er an investigation revealed the football program and some of its coaches violated Washington Interscholastic Activities Association articles. An investigation carried out by a third party found the football program had conducted out-of-season coaching and illegal recruiting, which are against both district policies and the WIAA articles.

BEFOREBefore the big day, it’s essential that
children visit the place that will be like a second home to them for the next few years. If possible, organize a meeting with their future teacher, as it will help reduce some anxiety. However, as a parent, the best way
to reassure your children is to tell them about your own experiences (in positive terms, of course!). If you’ve never experienced a change of school, draw an analogy with your � rst day at work. Feel free to use some humor to lighten the mood.
DURINGThe big day has � nally arrived! Inspire
con� dence in your children by putting on your best smile. Set aside plenty of time this morning for talking to them. Ask them how they feel and be sure to tell them that the stress they’re feeling is normal. Because it’s their � rst day, tell them that you’ll walk them to their classroom if they would like you to.
Every child is unique, so it can be di� cult to gauge the level of anxiety generated by a change of school, either during the year or at the beginning of a new school year. In any case, you can
help calm their fears with a few caring gestures and lots of encouragement. The goal is to show your complete support.
AFTERA change of school requires an
adjustment period that varies from child to child. After they get through the � rst few days, watch for their reactions and be attentive to what they’re saying. You could always contact the school psychologist if you feel your child needs professional help in adapting to all the changes.

reopen.�e now-shuttered food truck is one of
many mobile food vendors that use the Eastside Commercial Kitchen, located at 12890 N.E. 15th Pl. in Bellevue, which was ordered not to operate under a cease and desist order from a Public Health o�cer on Aug. 27.
An o�cial found inadequate facilities to control temperature of potentially hazard-ous food, inadequate facilities to properly wash and sanitize equipment. �e site is also currently part of an ongoing investiga-tion of a possible foodborne illness out-break. Continued operation of the facility constitutes an imminent health hazard, the o�cer found.
“Because that site does share some equip-ment between vendors, we closed it down and we’re investigating,” Bosslet told the Reporter.
�e Kitchen is a commissary facility used by food vendors permitted by the Public Health department. According to the report, all of the food vendors currently known to Public Health that use Eastside Commercial Kitchen have been told to cease using this facility.
�e vendors include Mo’ Pockets, Chew-eya, La Riviera, Buns, Panchitos, Kalinka and Jai Balaji. All are food trucks, and used the location to prepare food for sale across Bellevue and other communities.
Inspection records show that one of the Buns mobile units received a few minor health code violations on Aug. 7 a�er it was found to be lacking adequate handwash-ing facilities and properly used, stored and sanitized wiping cloths, but did not require re-inspection or closure. Recent inspections
on La Riviera Maya and Panchitos were satisfactory.
King County Public Health says they are aiding the food vendors impacted by the commissary closure to identify new com-missaries and resume operations with as little delay as possible.
Kukai Ramen uses this commissary but also has its own stand-alone restaurant. Public Health says they are working with Kukai Ramen to assure that no food pre-pared in the commissary is served at their restaurants.
Simply Delicious also uses the commis-sary, but is reportedly operating without a required permit from Washington State Department of Agriculture.
While the outbreak is investigated, King County Public Health recommends the public continue to practice good food safety, including washing hands and clean-ing work surfaces and cooking food to a proper temperature.

“I’m very proud of the hard work of our detectives, the U.S. Marshals and our law enforcement friends in Mexico,” said Bellevue Chief of Police Steve Mylett. “Because of their hard work and coopera-tion, a suspected child rapist has been brought to justice.”
Cerda was booked into the King Coun-ty Jail upon his arrest, and bail was set at $300,000. He was arraigned on Sept. 1 by King County Superior Court Judge Bill
A. Bowman on the updated charges.�e King County prosecutor amended
the charges during Cerda’s time on the lam to two counts of rape of a child in the �rst degree. �e previous charge relates to cases in which the victim is between 12 and 14 years old, while the new charg-es apply to cases in which the victim was younger. Both are class A felonies.
An additional charge of violation of the Uniformed Controlled Substances Act was �led as a result of an unrelated case in which Cerda allegedly agreed to sell cocaine to an undercover police o�cer.
Cerda’s next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 15.
