Grim stories, but hope at fundraiser for domestic violence BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com
Microsoft executives, and even one of the Rolling Stones, have been customers here, some people don’t come in to buy – they come to marvel at the artifacts from ancient periods and dynasties. While Ming’s has been in its Bellevue location for 25 years, its roots are deeper than that. Russell and his wife originally had a small shop in the mid-’70s inside of Seattle Union Station. The couple moved to Issaquah in 1980, where they still live, and set up shop on Front Street. Finally, the business was relocated to Bellevue’s Main Street in the late ‘80s. At first, the couple sold western antiquities before falling in love with Asian design and artifacts in visits
Attendees raised $113,000 to help domestic violence victims at Eastside Domestic Violence Program’s (EDVP) “Hope Starts Here Breakfast” Tuesday morning. Emceed by Jean Enerson of King 5 News, the event featured guest speakers including King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg as well as Attorney General Rob McKenna and his wife, Marilyn. McKenna drew a connection between domestic violence and human trafficking – an issue he’s passionate about. “Until around 30 years ago, we didn’t understand what domestic violence meant,” McKenna said. “It was called a domestic disturbance between two consenting adults.” Society has come a long way in its understanding of the problem, now recognizing the oppressive relationship between an abuser and a victim. One woman, Penny Arneson-Sweet, said she was able to move from victim to survivor through help from EDVP and the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Arneson-Sweet’s story was disturbing. Sexually abused by her stepfather as a child and then not believed by her mother, Arneson-Sweet would later marry a man who beat her and her children, and raped her oldest daughter from a previous marriage. The abuser was sentenced to 26 years in prison. “I’m here to be a voice for people who cannot speak for themselves,” Arneson-Sweet said. Sadly, her story is not all that uncommon, as evidenced by the harrowing, unedited phone conversations Satterberg played in his keynote presentation, including an abuser manipulating a victim on the phone from jail and a woman who managed to call 911 while she was being dragged into the woods to be beaten by her fiancé. Many women don’t cooperate with the prosecutor because they face isolation from family and friends, threats or lack of financial resources by leaving their abuser. Satterberg said despite being “domestic” it’s a type of violence that’s worse than gang members killing one another on the street. “Because where there was once love and hope of a future

Ming’s, a Bellevue mainstay leaving Down economy forcing relocation to Seattle BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com
Jim Russell will miss Bellevue. From his neighbors at Monsoon East to his regular costumers, it’ll be hard to leave behind his storefront on Main Street. Russell’s business, Ming’s Asian Gallery, has been a staple here for the last 25 years. Now, he’s consolidating his business at his other location in Seattle’s International District. He’ll close his doors in Bellevue for the last time Oct. 15. “My son thinks I need to kick back a bit and relax,” said Russell, who typically spends seven days a week run-
ning Ming’s Seattle and Bellevue locations. “We had one lady who came in crying, and a number of people come in and say how much they’re going to miss us.” But Ming’s won’t be moving far, less than 20 minutes away in the old Seattle Uwajimaya building. Russell hopes the Eastside corporations, institutions and private individuals that have come to rely on him for eclectic, Asian antiquities will follow his business to its new home. Walking through Ming’s two floors in Bellevue is like walking through a colorful, mini-museum filled with antiquities as old as 5,000 years: ancient Buddha statues, wood block paintings, Chinese snuff boxes and kimonos from the 1930s to name a few. And, while Seahawks stars,

Husband, wife team bring world treasures to Overlake area BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com
Clarke & Clarke Art + Artifacts sells sculpture, masks, textiles and antiquities, but stepping inside the space is more like a travel experience than a shopping one. Visitors even have their own tour guides, owners Jim and Ginny Clarke who call themselves “gypsy merchants.� The husband and wife team moved their warehousestyle retail store of colorful ethnographic treasures from Seattle’s Pioneer Square to the Overlake area last month. Ever been to Cost Plus World Market? The Clarke’s store is like the real-deal version. The 2,000 square-foot space features a tented, high ceiling and hundreds of objects from Asia and Africa. That mainly includes interior designers, organizations and private individuals, many of them looking for art and centerpieces for homes. Jim, who has a background in anthropology among other things, and Ginny, who specializes in fashion and adornment, can give a lesson on whatever artifact in their store, be it a piece of jewelry or a Kenyan buffalo mask – whatever sparks their visitor’s interest.
The couple encourages visitors to look around and find a treasure that they’re drawn to. Ginny’s passion for the couple’s work shows up in her clothing, including African beads and a Chinese amulet. Her light green, shimmery nail polish matches the green turtle neck she wears beneath a Japanese-inspired, quilted vest. Her passion for art, as well as fashion, shows. “People forget that, in some cultures, there is no word for art,� said Ginny, explaining how these objects change when they’re brought to the West: a store sign from China becomes like a painting to hang on the wall; an old jug used for storing olive oil becomes a rustic, center piece for a dining room. The couple estimates 75 to 80 percent of their goods originally had functional, non-art uses, such as the store sign, jug and various religious icons used for spiritual practice. If a visitor ever has a question about one of the artifacts, Ginny teases “professor� Jim to explain an item’s significance and place in history – such as a wooden, Theravada Buddhist shrine from Burma, which Jim explains sat in a shrine in a provincial village. “To me, seeing these things here that are from different parts of the world and different times – it’s like

Bellevue breast cancer survivor shows strength in calendar BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com
Andy Pletz can do it. Dressed in literally just angel wings, a pink bandana and showing off her strategically-placed bicep in a Rosie the Riveter stance, the Bellevue resident and breast cancer survivor smiles, looking directly into the camera in the Angel Care Foundation’s new 2012 calendar. The $15 calendar, called “Our Angels in Wings Celebrate the New Year 2012,� benefits the Angel Care Foundation’s efforts to reach patients, friends and family of those diagnosed with breast cancer. Angel Care is a nonprofit organization founded in 1997 by Redmond resident Jan Harris, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed in 1993 at a stage three. She saw the need to offer one-on-one emotional support for those diagnosed with breast cancer. “We’re hoping everyone will see that the calendar can be a perfect gift to family and friends as a reminder to get an annual mammogram or as inspirational support – just in time for October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month,� Harris said. The calendar models are Angel Care volunteers, photographed in only white, feathery angel wings and strategically posed so as not to reveal too much. The purpose is to show their strength as survivors, Harris said. While Pletz admitted it was a little “awkward� posing without a shirt on, she was happy to volunteer for the calendar, along with other Eastside locals/breast cancer survivors, such as Bruce Young, a former pilot from Beaux Arts Village. “When they asked me to do the Rosie the Riveter pose, I had this strong powerful image in my mind of we can do it, we can take breast cancer on,� Pletz said. As it reads in her Ms. September page of the calendar, Pletz, a banker, was diagnosed in 2008 with two cases of stage one breast cancer and treated with chemotherapy, bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Last year, she became a volunteer with Angel Care, which recruits breast cancer survivors to help provide support for newly-diagnosed patients. Volunteers accompany patients to early chemotherapy or radiation appointments, for example. While Pletz has yet to work with an

East Link not Bellevue’s only issue at council debate BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com
East Link debate has taken up much of the City Council’s time in recent months, but that’s not the only issue on Bellevue’s radar, council candidates said at a debate Tuesday. The forum, hosted by the Bellevue Downtown Association, featured seven candidates for Bellevue City Council. John Chelminiak and Claudia Balducci
drew challengers in their races, Jennifer Robertson is running unopposed, and candidates John Stokes and Aaron Laing are fighting to replace Grant Degginger who decided not to seek another term. As expected, light-rail came up several times during the debate, but other issues were on the minds of the candidates as well. Transportation projects still ruled the day, as many
of Bellevue’s missions - remaining a vital job center, maintaining strong neighborhoods - depend on avoiding snarling gridlock. “If there’s one thing that will hold back our success it will be our inability to get transportation in order,� said Balducci, who has been on the council for the last eight years. Balducci’s opponent Patti Mann, a paramedic and firefighter in Seattle,
mentioned the extension of Northeast Fourth Street as a key means to free up traffic problems near downtown. She also pointed to the need for a downtown fire station as a crucial project for Bellevue. Chelminiak also wanted to see the downtown station happen, but he was worried about staffing it. He referred to one of his most important priorities
as human capital. He cited issues such as annexing 5,000 people into the city from Eastgate, and removing the municipal court from its temporary home in Surrey Downs as human capital needs. Chelminiak’s opponent, Michelle Hilhorst, who works for AT&T, said road projects with grant money should be a top priority. “That funding is obviously very critical to us,�
“Ask me about the AARP Auto Insurance Program from The Hartford.� Now available in your area!
she said. The seven candidates all struck a friendly tone, and many of them extolled the virtues of collaboration. Candidates mentioned some previous tension, and public disputes between council members as something they’d like to do away with. Laing, a land use attorney, referred to himself as a collaborator. He shared frustration that he’s heard while campaigning, that Bellevue is not paying attention to its residents. “What I hear over and over at the door, is people feel like they’re not being listened to by the city,� he said. By setting aside some of the differences, candidates said, Bellevue can remain a strong force in the region. “We’re a leader in this region, and we depend on this region,� said Parks and Community Services board member and former PTSA member Stokes. “You get people working together, and you can have more of an impact.�

QUOTE OF NOTE
Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia. Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000)
Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit . She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers’ loans). Word gets around about Heidi’s “drink now, pay later” marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi’s bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit . By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Heidi’s gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at Heidi’s local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi’s borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral. At the bank’s corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINK BONDS. These “securities” then are bundled and traded on international securities markets. Naive investors don’t really understand that the securities being sold to them as “AAA

Secured Bonds” really are debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation’s leading brokerage houses. One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by Heidi’s bar. He so informs Heidi. Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations to the bank she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Heidi’s 11 employees lose their jobs. Overnight, DRINK BOND prices drop by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank’s liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community. The suppliers of Heidi’s bar had granted her
generous payment extensions and had invested their firms’ pension funds in the BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. In addition, the laid-off workers’ pension funds and IRAs all suffer substantial loss in value. Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class,nondrinkers who have never been in or heard of Heidi’s bar. Now do you understand?

Buses have advantage Here’s an objection to light rail: Its route is fixed in place. I frequently take the 271 Metro bus from the Lake Hills area to the University of Washington. Recently, construction closed the SR 520 (Evergreen Point) bridge, and my bus got there on time anyway. The driver followed its regular route from my bus stop through Medina, turned on 520 back towards Bellevue, headed south on 405 back toward Seattle on I-90, north on I-5, resumed its regular route at Montlake and got to the hospital bus stop on time. All the driver did was steer the bus on the alternative route. Also, at Christmas time a few years ago, we got caught in Seattle in the big snowstorm and our bus home, on an alternative snow route, still got us home. Any blockage can stop light rail service for some time. A few extra buses can handle big emergencies if necessary. Buses obviously offer the advantage of versatility as well as expense.
One can imagine light rail’s cash appeal, but the long-run benefits favor buses.

Money just pocket change I agree with George Whitaker’s Sept. 16 letter that the U.S. Census Bureau may close in order to save a whopping $15 million. That amount is just government pocket change when compared to the $4 trillion and climbing of our tax dollars going overseas by the boatload to be stolen or used for war.
Ken Maus, Bellevue
Story great information Regarding the story “Head Games | Concussions in youth sports, the Lystedt Law and a local response,” Great and important information here. As coaches, we must lose the term “shake it off.” Head injuries, and the health of our young players, are not to be taken lightly.
Joshua Young
Laing worth checking out I had the opportunity recently to introduce a truly nice guy, Aaron Laing, candidate for Bellevue City Council, to friends and neighbors. This wasn’t an easy crowd. They asked: why you, the newcomer? Turns out he isn’t. As a land-use lawyer, he’s been working on Bellevue issues for years. He moved here a few years ago because he wanted to raise a family. Where better than here? What about light rail? He’s supported by Kemper Freeman so he must be against it, right? Wrong. Yes, Freeman has contributed to his campaign. But he has pretty much contributed to everyone on the City Council. But doesn’t Aaron Laing just want to stall the process? No. What he doesn’t want is a project that destroys neighborhoods and costs us a hundred million dollars, just so it gets done quickly. We get one chance. Let’s do it right. Check it out for yourself.

Jane Hague has been on the King County Council since 1994, but her opponent still doesn’t believe she has what it takes to lead. Mercer Island resident Richard Mitchell questioned Hague’s leadership at a candidate forum hosted by the Bellevue Downtown Association on Tuesday, while the incumbent highlighted her history of reaching across the aisle to work with Democrats, in the county and Bellevue. “We’ve built Meydenbauer Center, the Downtown Comprehensive Plan, we’ve brought housing to downtown so we’re more than just a job center; we’re a diverse neighborhood,” she said. Mitchell, a former counsel to Gov. Christine Gregoire, took the opportunity on several occasions to paint Hague as a flip-flopper who initially supported a $20 car-tab fee to avoid transit cuts, before reversing her position to get more out of the deal and finally voting in favor. Hague called it a demonstration of her leadership. Rather than jumping on board without raising questions about the lack of buses on State Route 520 and the existence of an outdated ride-free zone in downtown Seattle, she fought for what needed to be done before supporting the fee. Both candidates spoke of a long-term funding issue in county government, specifically for transportation. Hague praised many of the reforms that have occurred in the last few years, while her opponent was not satisfied. “We knew there was a problem, and we didn’t address it,” he said. “It is now time to solve the problem while we have a temporary funding solution.” The candidates saw transportation as key to many county issues, including keeping it a viable job center. To attract companies and businesses to Bellevue, and the region as a whole, a first-class transportation system must be in place to move workers.

I remember the day I brought home a particular fifth grade report card. Mine, unfortunately. It contained the usual dismaying news about my test scores – but also something else. Under “comments,� my teacher – perhaps grasping for something nice to say – wrote: “If Pat can learn to keep his mind from wandering, he has the potential to become a really good student.� That was something like writing, “If Pat can learn to keep from falling asleep, he has the potential to become a really good air traffic controller.� “Potential� seems to be one of the most frustratingly ambiguous words in the language. Adj. Capable of being but not yet in existence. It’s the word that means that any kid is capable of becoming a president, a ballerina or a getaway car driver. Or even all three. But can anyone really predict what kids will be when they grow up – besides just grown up? It’s hard enough to predict which horse will win at Emerald Downs – although you can’t like the chances of any thoroughbred named

“Lame Warrior.� We are told that Einstein didn’t even speak until he was four – at which time he said, “Relatively speaking, I prefer the pudding.� Thomas Edison’s teachers’ thought him quite stupid in his early years. But when he got older, a light bulb suddenly came on. He went on to create lots of other things – inspiring later generations of inventors – and thus making possible the Ronco Pasta maker. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. Now that he can afford the tuition, maybe he’ll go back someday. The point seems to be that there is no way of really knowing how things will turn out for anybody. Except – maybe – in the area of athletics. At least some people think so – and are willing to put money on it. Just recently, the big-time soccer team Real Madrid (beware of imitators) signed a 7-year-old kid from Argentina to a contract. At that rate, he should be comfortably retired by the time he starts shaving. Less than a month ago, a 9-year-old girl qualified for a world amateur golf tournament. Her publicists say she has already made two holes-in-one in her brief career. I don’t mean to pooh-pooh her accomplishment, but my nephew has had three holes-in-one – which he achieved all in one day at Tukwila’s Family Fun Center. (I’ll wager that 9-year old girl didn’t have to get her ball through a windmill.) Still, home genetic testing kits claim to be able to give at least a glimpse into your child’s athletic potential. You simply send in a sample of their saliva – along with several bucks – and get an assessment of their genes. If the result comes back saying, “We think your kid has what it takes to become a major league baseball player� – it may mean that your kid’s spit indicates real sports potential. Or it may mean that your kid is already secretly using chewing tobacco.

QFC Proudly Supports the YWCA

Join QFC in Helping the YWCA.
BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST
Think back to the first time you realized that you were in complete control of the life you wanted to lead. And more importantly, you felt like you would be able to meet and even exceed the challenges ahead. Successes in life build upon each other and gain momentum as you get older, and they bring with them much more responsibility. This is why it is so important we lay the foundation our children need now, so they understand they have a solid support structure in place and realize they can rely on themselves as adulthood approaches.
women improve lives for themselves, their children and our community.
This same concept is the reason why QFC is so proud to partner with the YWCA as our Checkstand Charity of the Month during October. It’s all about creating a support structure and stability where it did not previously exist. YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish opens doors to opportunity and selfsufficiency for women and families who face poverty, violence and discrimination. For more than a century, YWCA has offered programs that help
Residents such as Megan and Gary Hammon are finding life more affordable and comfortable at YWCA Family Village at Issaquah. Their three young children include Hailey, a sweet 4-yearold who suffers from a medical condition and requires a feeding tube. The family had to move from their former apartment because of building defects but wanted to stay in the Issaquah School District. Although Gary works
The YWCA also remains one of the largest and most experienced providers of housing and supportive services to women and families in our community. YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish owns some 693 apartment units and manages an additional 267 units throughout King and Snohomish counties. YWCA Family Village at Issaquah, an innovative 146-unit affordable-housing community on the Eastside, is among the YWCA’s recent housing ventures.
YWCA opens doors to opportunity by providing resources to eliminate racism, empower women, end homelessness, offer safe havens and promote the wellbeing of children and youth.
Effective: October 2, 2011 - October 29, 2011
in security for a hospital and has excellent health-care coverage, their portion of Hailey’s medical expenses is still high. The affordability of YWCA Family Village and its proximity to a regional hospital and other medical care means the Hammons can stay in the school district and community they cherish while providing the best care their daughter needs.

If each of us can help a little, it will make a big difference in the lives of women and their families throughout our community, and that is something to celebrate! Thank you!
So what can you and I do to help aid the YWCA in continuing this great work? From October 2nd to October 29th, QFC customers can donate to

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN ON MODERN DAY GOLD RUSH! By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER
Gold and silver pour into yesterday’s Roadshow due to highest prices in 40 years.
Yesterday at the Fairfield Inn, locals lined up to cash in on their gold and silver, antiques, collectibles, at the “As seen on TV,” Treasure Hunters Roadshow. The free event is in Bellevue all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visitor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbelievable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less than fifteen minutes I left with a check for $700. That stuff has been in my jewelry box and dresser for at least 20 years.” Another gentleman brought in an old Fender guitar his father had bought years ago. The man said, “Dad had less than fifty bucks in that guitar.” The Roadshow specialist that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for $5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got another $300.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not every day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.” Jeff Parsons, President of the Treasure Hunters Roadshow, commented, “Lots of people have items that they know are valuable but just don’t know where to sell them. Old toys, trains, swords, guitars, pocket watches and jewelry are valuable to collectors. These collectors are willing to pay big money for those items that they are looking for.” This week’s Roadshow is the best place to get connected with those collectors. The process is free and anyone can bring items down to the event. If the Roadshow specialists find items that their collectors are interested in, offers will be made to purchase them. About 80% of the guests that attend the show end up selling one or more items at the event. Antiques and collectibles are not the only items the Roadshow is buying. “Gold and silver markets are soaring,” says Archie Davis, a Road-

Bellevue firefighters give backpacks to YES kids Bellevue Firefighters Community Support Foundation have donated backpacks filled with school supplies to young teens and siblings of Youth Eastside Services’ (YES) Success Mentoring program. The youth were able to pick their backpack at a special Back-to-School event held at YES’
Bellevue office Aug. 24. The mentors, mentees and family members ate dinner, played games and snapped photos with complimentary disposable cameras donated by new mentor, Shelly Nguyen, and her employer Bank of America. Youth volunteers from YES’ Latino
HEAT program helped guide the event. It is the ninth year the firefighters have supported YES youth with school supplies, and it’s the largest gift the foundation makes. The foundation spared no expense and invested in high quality backpacks. One mother commented on the durability:
“They will take the kids through the whole school year!” Most of the 60 youth and their siblings are part of the YES Success Mentoring program which matches youth from single parent households with adults who want to make a positive impact in their lives. Other beneficiaries of the backpacks included teens from YES prevention and education programs in schools, and community centers.
BC program Featured in magazine Bellevue College’s ComGen project, a program where students conduct genetic research, is featured in the Sept. 16 issue of Science magazine. The article is about two-year colleges around the country that are involving students in research once reserved for four-year science programs. The project, funded with a $500,000 Dr. Gita Bangera National Science Foundation grant, is a graduate-school type project. Students maintain a lab notebook, isolate plasmid DVA, and run PCR while they sequence the genome of Pseudomonas fluorescens L5, 1-96, a bacterium that fights off a fungus that attacks wheat. The article quotes BC faculty member Dr. Gita Bangera, a molecular biologist, who says she assumed her students would be perfectly capable of doing research and analyzing original research articles. “The first time they do it, they’re terrified,” she said, quoted in the Science article. One daunting aspect is that the students have to look up many of the terms to simply understand the articles. “I say, ‘Yeah, you’re going to have to do that.’ They learn to ask and answer questions, which is really what research is about.”

THE ARTS All aboard a night of wonders at ‘Bonsoir Liliane’ | Review BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@bellevuereporter.com
At first glance, it may seem like Teatro ZinZanni’s intimate, vintage circus tent might not be roomy enough for big leaps and pirouettes. In reality, there’s a lot of movement under the cover of ZinZanni’s spiegeltent. The company’s newest show, “Bonsoir Liliane” centers around former prima ballerina Liliane Montevvechi and includes performer/choreographer Tobias Larson and former Pacific Northwest Ballet dancer Ariana Lallone. Directed by Tony Award winner, Tommy Tune, the dance, music and theatrical elements come together to sweep audience members away on a “train of dreams” through Montevvechi’s fondest and boldest memories. The leading lady, (who was knighted as a Dame in Malta) was a vision of glitter, femininity and sex appeal at age 79. With Montevvechi’s

With performances by the talented dancers, a contortionist, acrobats (I SOLed) – screamed out loud – when three men, stacked on top of each other’s shoulders, fell to the ground in a three-man chain, miraculously escaping a trip to the emergency room thanks to some serious tumbling skills) musicians (including “Diva and the Dixies”) and the unforgettable Kevin Kent as the train’s conductor – and more. Unlike longtime Teatro ZinZanni performers such as Kent, Montevvechi and Larson there was a newcomer to the mix – Lallone, who’s pursuing a new career after 24 years with Pacific Northwest Ballet. Known for both her exotic beauty as well as her more than 6-foot-tall stature in pointe shoes, Lallone was as smoldering as ever – whipping out soutenu turns in a red tutu on a small raised platform, showing off her grace and power. The $100-plus tickets are worth the splurge at least once (or maybe a couple times). Teatro ZinZanni is located at 222 Mercer St., Seattle.

Wolverines dominate early, hang on late to top Mercer Island Bellevue used three rushing touchdowns from John Nguyen and a pair of receiving scores from Nathan Derider to outlast Mercer Island 43-28 and move to 5-0 on the season. The Wolverines led 43-7 before a pair of Bellevue fumbles and a trio of scores from Islanders’ quarterback Jeff Lindquist tightened things up. “Mercer Island is a good team,� Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff said. “We’ve got to get better and understand that we have to play at a much more positive level.� Lindquist threw three interceptions on the night, two to Budda Baker and another to Matt Gilbert in the first half. Mercer Island also lost a fumble that was recovered by Bellevue’s Dakota Jones in the fourth quarter. Goncharoff ’s squad will be back at home to take on Juanita tonight.

Fighting Family Bellevue gym builds strength, confidence in local youth BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com
Cindy Hales knew she couldn’t fight forever. A career as a martial arts competitor left her with a body that was unable to continue and a heart that wouldn’t let her walk away. But after already trying her hand in the corporate world, Hales knew she couldn’t go back to sitting at a desk. “I’m super active,� Hales said. “Jiu Jitsu changed my life.� Before beginning her career as a fighter, Hales earned a degree in social sciences and also had a background working with at-risk youth during college. She eventually found her way into a nine-to-five job, but soon discovered it was an imperfect marriage, leaving her longing for a physical
challenge. “I just started training casually,� Hales said of her introduction to martial arts. “Eventually I quit my corporate job. I would compete then get another job when I needed to.� Hales climbed the women’s ranks, crossing the globe to fight some of the fiercest competitors the world of female martial arts had to offer. But when her days in the ring ended, Hales was left searching for a way to bring her two worlds together. The result was Sleeper Athletics. Sleeper Athletics began in 2009 in Seattle’s old Rainier brewing building with some of the clientele Hales built while working in various gyms in the area. It quickly proved to be exactly what its founder, and many area youths, desperately needed. Currently, Hales serves around 35 clients,

Most come from around the Greater Eastside, but some travel from as far as Lake City and West Seattle. “I want to run a team that’s like a family,� Hales said. “My ultimate goal is to have them come through my program and send them to college.� While her own background was in elite level training and competition, Hales isn’t out to find the next great UFC sensation. Instead, she hopes Sleeper Athletics can become a place where young people can succeed while building confidence in both their physical abilities and coping mechanisms. “I want to give kids the idea that we work hard, train hard, build good relationships with people and we take [ more SLEEPER page 17 ]

Wildcats too much for Interlake
Mount Si overwhelmed Interlake with two touchdown passes from Ryan Atkinson and a rushing score from Connor Deutsch. The Wildcats took a 17-0 lead into the fourth quarter before Jordan Todd went in on the ground and Kamana Adriano found Ryan Turman for another score.

For the first time since 2007, Sammamish won a 2A/3A KingCo football game last week. The Totems defeated Lake Washington 48-42 in overtime behind four touchdown runs from quarterback Austin Lee. Coach Brian Tucci’s squad trailed 14-0 after one quarter, but rebounded with 21 unanswered points to go on top. Lee racked up touchdown runs of 80, 39, 34 and seven yards and running back Nick Meyers added a pair of scores.

interested and excited about competing. Many parents, like Kim Thome of Medina, come into the process apprehensive of the violent nature of the sport as it is seen on television. “At first, I was like ‘arm bars and chokes, I don’t know about this!,� Thome said. “I’m really impressed with how technical the sport is and how Cindy teaches the kids. We haven’t had any injuries and it just really surprised me how safe it can be.� Aside from the physical benefits she has seen in her children, Thome said watching their confidence and self esteem build have been eye-opening. “There’s this confidence, this self-discipline,� Thome said. “I think it’s a lot for a young kid and even young men to go out on a mat and be out there with 100 people looking at you. There’s no hiding.� While those looking to hone more specific skill set are referred to one of Hales’ numerous contacts throughout the area, (including basically every
Jiu Jitsu coach in the Pacific Northwest) children who are looking for a new outlet to make friends or simply find a safe haven for a few hours each day have a place in Sleeper Athletics. “A kid that maybe won’t fit into football or soccer, or a kid who is too big and doesn’t fit into the model of what an athlete should be, there’s a place for that kid in Jiu Jitsu,� Hales said. Hales remembers fondly how one of her students came into the gym with a furtive, unsure demeanor and has since built confidence and begun to express his character freely. “He was getting bullied, he was super shy, a tiny little kid,� Hales recalled. “He’s been with me almost a year and he’s seven years old and has a six pack. Now you can see this life in this kid and that’s what you really want.� Hales will be hosting an open house for prospective students and their families from 1-4 p.m. Oct. 30. Sleeper Athletics is located at 1555 127th Pl NE. off Bel-Red road.

Fall is the ideal time to plant! Mild temperatures during initial root growth give plants a head start and root growth can continue into the winter months. Trees, shrubs and perennials can take up to three years before they are fully established. Planting in the fall provides the time and moist conditions for healthy root growth and ensures plants are better prepared for the flush of spring and summer growth. You can also save a great deal of water when you plant in the fall – especially compared to the summer – because the plants will get enough moisture from natural rainfall alone.

The discussion was part of Bellevue Downtown Association’s candidates forum held at Bellevue Hilton, which gave an opportunity for 11 candidates in the race for county council, city council and the school board to discuss their views and meet with members of the public. More than 200 people attended overall. The school board is governed by district directors who represent specific areas of the district. District 1, represents much of the northwest portion of the city, including Cherry Crest, Medina and Clyde Hill. However all Bellevue

Business more of a passion to Taiwan, Hong Hong and Mainland China. “Let’s stop Europe. Stop American. Let’s just do Asia,� said Russell, explaining their feelings at the time. For the couple, the business is more of a passion than work. Making four to five trips to Asia a year, they hand-select antiquities from East Asia, as well as India and the Philippines. Ming’s had a series of
voters can vote for the candidates. In their opening statements, Johnson stressed her leadership as a district parent and PTSA member, a business leader as a former Microsoft executive and experience on the school board, saying she hoped to meet the needs of all students – whether they require extra help or increased challenges; McConnell, a district parent of both a gifted and special needs child, cited his management skills as the owner and CEO of Construx Software, his ability to “engage� parents and community members via social networking and blogs, his openness and accountability and his Bellevue Education Association endorsement. The two candidates differed on issues including the current school board’s transparency, support of teachers and its handling of “no confidence� vote exhibitions and lectures representing the arts of China, Korea, Japan, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Mongolia, and Tibet, collaborating with the City of Bellevue, the library, arts museum and Portland Art Museum’s “Tombs of China,� to name a few. Russell will eventually leave the business up to his adult children, and let them take it from there. Ming’s final move, is exciting yet bittersweet, he said. “I’ll miss saying Ming’s on Main.�

on schools supt. Amalia Cudeiro. McConnell said the school board has not been doing an adequate job of keeping the community informed of its decisions and practices. He said he’d publish district scorecards and create parent satisfaction surveys. He also stated that he felt teachers weren’t being listened to, and was unhappy with the board’s negative response toward the vote of no confidence. “That did a lot of damage and basically ignored the fact that teachers have a legitimate concern,â€? McConnell said. â€œâ€Ś It was a disappointment to learn that teachers can report a problem and the board says, ‘We’re disappointed that you’d report that.’â€? Johnson, on the other hand, said the board has been measuring a number of different factors for a district scorecard, including student growth and test scores. “Should it be more transparent? Sure. Will it be more transparent? We’re only in the first quarter,â€? she said. Where the “no confidenceâ€? vote is concerned, Johnson said she’s met with union leaders and individual teachers, and that the root of people’s displeasure has more to do with the big changes in the district in light of the new contract. “We asked teachers to improve instructional practice. We asked kids to do more. We looked under every policy rock. We recognize that change is hard,â€? Johnson said.

together, there are now broken bones, rapes and murders,� he said. All the speakers pointed to some grim statistics, making the need for aid even more crucial, including the fact that one in four women experience domestic violence in their lifetimes, and that one in three King County murders are domestic-violence related. The down economy also has taken its toll, resulting in an increase in urgent calls to EDVP for assistance and shelter. Today, often faced with little money and few options, victims are staying in abusive relationships longer. On a national scale, domestic violence costs $5.8 billion a year in health care, lost productivity and savings. The situation is a grim at both a local and national level, but not hopeless, Satterberg said. “Imagine a culture that raises young boys to never hit a human being,� he

said. “Imagine the end of domestic violence in our lifetimes. You may say I’m just a dreamer, but I’m not
