People pack light-rail open house BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com
Light-rail negotiations and discussion continue to grind forward, and the community hasn’t lost interest. An open house Tuesday brought close to 200 people to Bellevue City Hall for spirited discussions between citizens, staff members and members of the Bellevue City Council. The two-hour open house was the first opportunity for the community to comment on a number of options for street crossings on Sound Transit’s preferred route up 112th FAST. CASUAL. KOREAN.

Avenue and Bellevue Way. Three options include a crossing at street level at Southeast Sixth Street, which is Sound Transit’s original proposal; an above-ground crossing over the top at Southeast 15th that dives into a trench under Southeast Fourth; and a street-level crossing at Southeast 15th Street. Of all those present, Robert Rosell may be one of the most affected Bellevue residents. With a home on Southeast 23rd and Bellevue Way, Rosell said he lives the closest to the line. He favors the trains coming in, but would have liked to have seen the line go elsewhere. He is concerned that if the project budget drops due to economic issues, relief for the neighborhoods could be compromised. “If they do come down Bellevue Way, if they run out of money, what they may take away is the mitigation to minimize damages to the neighborhoods,� he said. The open house and other public outreach programs are running parallel to the ongoing negotiations between Bellevue and Sound Transit on how to fund a $300 million downtown tunnel. The two sides are negotiating a Memorandum of Understanding to iron out a $160 million contribution from Bellevue. Bellevue and Sound Transit are running up against an Oct. 25 deadline to sign the deal, which some Bellevue council members have called unrealistic. [ more LIGHT-RAIL page 3 ]

The red and yellow express that is the RapidRide B-Line will begin its regular journey from downtown Bellevue to Redmond in two weeks. Metro Transit has begun testing the new Bus-Rapid Transit that features more frequent service, greater amenities and technological improvements for rider convenience. The new buses, which will travel every 10 to 15 minutes, will run on a route from the Bellevue Transit Center, down Northeast Eighth Street, head down 156th Avenue Northeast toward the Overlake Transit Center and into Redmond and back beginning Oct. 1. Riders will be able to better estimate their travel, as each RapidRide station features a realtime reader board for bus arrival times. The system RapidRide B stations, complete with realfeatures GPS track- time reader boards, have gone up all over ers in all buses town in anticpation of the new line’s Oct. 1 to give accurate debut.

New ramps coming to access I-405, SR 520 Bellevue drivers going to and from work will notice big changes next week. Washington State Department of Transportation crews will close northbound Interstate 405 today for the weekend. When crews reopen the road Monday morning, drivers headed to Redmond, Seattle and Kirkland will use new ramps to get to I-405 and State Route 520. “Many drivers travel the same routes day after day and get into a routine. The changes coming Monday are significant,� said Seema Javeri, WSDOT project engineer. “We need drivers to get familiar with the changes this week so it’s not a surprise come Monday.� New signs in and around Bellevue will direct drivers to SR 520 and I-405 using the new ramps. Drivers going to SR 520 will use Northeast 10th Street. The new ramp will take vehicles directly to eastbound and westbound SR 520. Eastside drivers will no longer have access to SR 520 from Northeast Eighth Street. Drivers will continue to use Northeast Eighth Street to reach I-405 but will use a new ramp to reach northbound I-405. Northbound I-405 drivers should prepare to exit to SR 520 nearly one-half mile earlier than the current exit point. Once complete in the summer of 2012, the $107.7 million construction project will reduce existing congestion that can last up to eight hours a day in Bellevue with new braided ramps that separate traffic going to SR 520 and I-405 and an SR 520 bypass lane over 124th Avenue Northeast. Crews are also replacing the Northeast 12th Street Bridge with a wider structure that includes a bicycle and pedestrian lane and improves traffic circulation in Bellevue.
Nude Bellevue woman arrested A 32-year-old Bellevue woman was arrested Sept. 6 after she was found nude at a park in Mercer Island. The woman did not cooperate with officers of the Mercer Island Police Department, and she threatened them and their families. She was cited for indecent exposure and resisting arrest, and police issued an order barring her from Luther Burbank Park for a year.

Medina has found its replacement for Police Chief Jeffrey Chen. The city hired Washington State Patrol Commander Mark Thomas following an interview process coordinated by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. The process included a community public forum Aug. 8 where members of the community were able to meet and interact with five finalists as well as interviews by a community group, police department personnel, and department heads. Thomas has 26 years of law enforcement experience with the WSP. He has been the WSP Homeland Security Division commander for since 2007 with responsibilities that include security and law enforcement services for Washington State Ferries, the WSP Interagency Bomb Squad, the WSP Canine Training Unit, and emergency management functions within the State Patrol. Thomas was a district commander and managed field operations for the WSP in a seven-county region that includes the Olympic Peninsula and Washington’s Pacific Coast. His duties included representing the WSP with the criminal justice community, elected officials, and community groups. He will take over as chief of the department with nine commissioned police officers, including the chief, on Oct. 17. Lieutenant Dan Yourkoski has been acting chief since December 2010 when Chen initially put in his notice of resignation. He was fired in April after months of investigation.

Tunnel talks New reader boards give accurate timing move along, but slowly “As with most bureaucracies, this process is grinding along more slowly than anyone would like,” Bellevue Councilmember Kevin Wallace said at Monday night’s City Council meeting. This talk of an impossible deadline frustrates Mark Van Hollebeke, a downtown Bellevue resident who wants the two sides to get something done as soon as possible. He said the council wouldn’t be in this situation if it had spent more time focusing on the design and mitigation of Sound Transit’s route, rather than pushing for its own preferred route, which runs parallel to Interstate 405 and ultimately proved to be more expensive than Sound Transit’s line. “I feel like we’re in this time crunch because the majority of the City Council spent so much time on B7R, now they have little time to address the mitigation measures.” Mitigation for nearby residents, and financing of the tunnel have been the primary focus negotiations. Bellevue is expected to make a contribution of $100 million in the early portion of the project, with an additional $60 million as a contingency cost, Planning Director Dan Stroh said at Monday’s council meeting. Forty percent of the $100 million would actually cost the city less than $3 million in cash by offering such things as land donations and other measures, Stroh said. Another $60 million could likely come from property acquisitions and projects the city could do that would benefit the rail line. The council has discussed the rail line at every meeting since it returned from summer break earlier this month. Discussions will continue into October. People will have another chance to comment on proposed designs and negotiations between the groups at an 8 p.m. public hearing Monday at City Hall. A draft agreement between Sound Transit and Bellevue is expected for public view in mid-October. For more information, and to see models of each of the three design options visit, http://projects.soundtransit.org/Projects-Home/ East-Link-Project.xml
“It’s tied to our GPS system so the information is in real time, so we know where the bus is in relation to the stop,” he said. The frequency and speed with which the bus operates requires
sacrifices in the number of stops. Several bus stops along Northeast Eighth that were only a few blocks apart have been removed. The average stops will be approximately four-tenths of a mile apart, which
September 23, 2011 [3] is slightly closer than the half-mile increments the system was based on, Roybal said. Riders with ORCA passes will have the ability to pay before they board, to speed things up, Roybal said. Cash customers will still insert money into fare boxes once on board. Ticket machines for cash customers were considered during the process, but Metro ultimately
decided against them. RapidRide B includes stations on Northeast Eighth Street at 124th, 140th and 156th; it will then head down 156th and stop at Northeast 10th, 15th and 24th before stopping at the Overlake Transit Center. It turns around at Redmond Transit Center.

1,115 women ride to end domestic violence turned out, including 30 who registered that very day, and it was incredible," Anderson said. Anderson and her fellow organizers, the Lakemont Ladies Cycling Club and Rising Star Guild, aimed to create a program that would help women be more fit, while benefiting a great cause at the same time. But Anderson couldn't anticipate what an empowering experience Cycle the Wave would truly become.

CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter involved since the first year in 2008, originally as a rider, now as a volunteer. The ride is special for many reasons, Armen-Bolen said. The routes, which went through Bellevue, Issaquah, Maple Valley, Renton and Newcastle with rest stops along the way, provided a scenic backdrop. Husbands, families and cheerleaders from local high schools, cheer on the cyclists. At the finish, riders were pampered with treats like salon and reflexology services. With a variety of routes,
riders of all levels were able to participate. The growing numbers of participants each year has tremendously added to the conversation about domestic violence – an issue that's often overlooked as a problem on the Eastside. "A common misconception is that it's not a problem here," said Kelly Becker, Eastside Domestic Violence Program (EDVP) development director and collaborator with Cycle the Wave. In 2010, EDVP answered 10,069 crisis line calls and

worked with 4,700 local domestic violence victims. This year, EDVP has had a rise in urgent requests for services such as shelter and basic necessities. Many of the program's clients are victims of assault and felony cases. Melody Scherting, city ambassador director for Cycle the Wave, said it's been moving to see people be empowered by the ride, including the survivors themselves. For example, Scherting's husband, a volunteer, helped a mom and daughter who were lost last year. In the pouring rain, he rode with the women until they found the route again. Later on, Scherting would learn how much his gesture of help was appreciated. "The mom said it was the first time her teenage daughter had ever experienced such a kind and caring man."

Think of four women right now. They could be coworkers, friends, acquaintances, neighbors or loved ones; wives, mothers, partners, daughters or sisters. Now, still thinking of those women, know this: One of them will be a victim of domestic violence in her lifetime. It was this staggering fact that help inspire an annual Eastside event four years ago: Cycle the Wave (Women Against Violence Everywhere). This non-
competitive bicycle ride for women, which was last weekend, Sept. 18, puts 100 percent of proceeds toward helping victims of domestic violence. "So often, women put their families or careers first, but this is something they can do for themselves," said Sharon Anderson, executive director of the event and avid cyclist. Last weekend, more than 1,115 women rode and more than $130,000 was raised, up from last year's 800 riders and $80,000. "It was rainy day in the middle of all this beautiful weather, but the ladies

“feel-good” effort here. After all, we’re pretty sure that the two members of Congress who represent the south Seattle/ south King County areas now – Rep. Jim McDermott and Rep. Adam Smith – never could be accused of not doing the best for the people who live there. We’re also sure that Bellevue’s minority residents get more than adequate representation from Rep. Dave Reichert. At least the commissioners’ proposals for legislative districts leave Bellevue pretty much the way it is now. Apparently adding Chelan or Tukwila isn’t seen as a priority at the state level.

Let’s talk about education About a year ago I saw Geoffrey Canada speak at the University of Washington. He is the founder of Harlem Children’s Zone in New York City. He is prominently featured in the film “Waiting for Superman.” He challenged me as an educator to change the way I think about education and its problems. In his speech he said that the real problem with education is that everyone tacks like sailboats on Lake Washington, maniacally moving from the new silver bullet to new silver bullet seemingly pushed by the fickleness of the wind, hoping to solve the education problem in one go. He is right. For every new problem in education there is a carpetbagger willing to write a book, go on a speech tour, set up a PAC with the word “alliance” or “kids” in the title, all to raise millions of dollars to throw simplistic solutions at ever-complicated problems to no avail. Paul Sutton
OF NOTE
ince schools have just started we thought we’d give our readers a pop quiz. What do Bellevue and Wenatchee have in common? If you answered “the same congressional district” you’d be correct – and rightly confused. Tom Huff, a member of the state redistricting commission, proposes that Bellevue be in the same congressional district with Wenatchee – and even Chelan. Huff, and three other commissioners, are charged with drawing up new boundaries for what will be 10 congressional districts in our state. The districts are adjusted every 10 years after the most recent census to make sure each member of Congress represents the same number of people. It’s a particularly difficult task in our state since most people live west of the Cascades and at some point residents from other areas may need to be added to balance things out. But Wenatchee and Chelan? And we thought the current Eighth District was bad stretching from northeast King County into Pierce County. Yes, we know it’s worst in eastern Washington where congressional districts also stretch over several counties. But that’s because there are so few people over there, compared to the west side. Fortunately, we don’t expect Huff ’s solution to be the one that’s finally adopted. The plans from the three other commissioners (former Sen. Slade Gorton, Tim Ceis and Dean Foster) don’t go that far. However, Gorton and Foster do lump Bellevue into south King County with cities such as Renton, Kent, Des Moines and Tukwila – and a big chunk of south Seattle – to produce a situation that makes minority residents a majority of the district. It probably helped that Bellevue has a large number of minorities – 30 percent of the population is foreign born. We’d like to believe that there’s something more than a

Beware of these “visionaries.” What they have to sell may be good for your child but not your neighbor’s child and usually plays fast and loose with data. The people who lose in these grand plans are usually the poor, the under-privileged, people of color, teachers, and us. I don’t have any answers to what ails the education system. What I do know is that people, from individuals to large groups, can and do make a difference. In fact, the system is rife with people who make a difference, everyday, in the lives of our children. As with anything, the first step in solving something is to know the problem fully, to see it from every angle, and to get informed from the most trusted sources available. The problems with education are complex beyond measure. Any solutions must consist of myriad solutions, from various perspectives. Linda Darling-Hammond is no carpet-bagger. Currently working out of Stanford University, she is probably the single most important educational voice of our time. She is our generation’s John Dewey. Her work is well-
Foundation helped make him a superhero for a day. Erik, 14, died last week of a rare type of cancer. Hundreds of volunteers worked to make Erik’s dream come true, without even knowing him beforehand. They staged events, became part of cheering throngs, waved hand-made signs – all to help a little boy have a day of joy as he battled his real enemies: a lifetime of medical issues. With all the bad stuff we see or read about each day, it’s good to remember the happy things: Erik rescuing a Puget Sound Energy worker, freeing others trapped on the Space Needle observation deck and saving the Seattle Sounders from the clutches of Dr. Dark and Blackout Boy. Thanks to a lot of good people, a Bellevue boy had a very, very good day.

reasoned, well-regarded, and extremely well-researched. She was Obama’s second choice to be the Secretary of Education. Darling-Hammond wrote an encyclopedic book on the current state of education called The Flat World and Education: How America’s Commitment to Equity Will Determine Our Future. If you really want to know what is wrong with education and what to do about it from a leader in the field, read this book. She makes no attempt to simplify the problem or offer simplistic solutions to make our education system better. However, she offers complex and far-reaching knowledge – knowledge that will empower us as a community to work for better solutions for our children’s schools. Just, fair, and equitable education reform does not come easy and is not simple. Individually, we can do something. We can get informed. Then we can talk to others about what we know and create networks. My email is suttonpaul74@ gmail.com. I am the parent of a Bellevue student and I care deeply about education. Let’s talk.

Schools on right track From my education advocacy, direct interactions and participation with Bellevue’s School Board and administration, I believe we are moving in the right direction; good work progresses that puts kids first. More is needed. Some adapt to change more easily. Parents and community are the check and balance on special interests and bureaucracy. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. I continue to support Dr. Amalia Cudeiro and school board members. School board members only receive expense stipends, have day jobs, no aides. They receive hundreds of emails, often repetitive, uninformed, self-centered. Bellevue’s school administration was cut last year, in one of several new, unprecedented, very public processes with the goal to preserve classrooms. Communications and transparency are improving. Until more people exercise citizenship rights and responsibilities by fully engaging, educating themselves on issues, showing up regularly and voting smart, detrimental wrangling and special interest dominance will continue.

2011 Candidates Forum
It might have been a housewarming party. The backyard was unfinished, so mom put chairs around card tables in the front yard. There were no flowers or hedges yet, but my parents knew the plans they had for that little piece of land under the Big Sky. The photos show Uncle Charlie Gallagher wearing a straw hat, looking very much like the Irish gentleman he was. My four grandparents wore neat hats. The women had flowing summer dresses, worn, no doubt, over strong corsets. The men would never have dreamed of attending a party without a suit and tie, except my dad who sported a starched white shirt with sleeves rolled up. I can hear his voice asking each guest, “What’ll you have?” Smoke drifted from cigarettes perched on fancy ashtrays. It was a happy gathering of family and neighbors. They talked of jobs and kids and hopes and dreams. The shadow of World War II had disappeared. The future was bright. With John Jameson in Patty Luzzi

one hand and a cigarette in the other they raised a glass to their health. My childhood flashback came as a result of a get-together we recently attended. Our neighbor invited us to celebrate her husband’s birthday with a healthy version of warm cherry pie and ice cream. We wandered up the street at the appointed time, bearing funny cards and best wishes. Our attire was Northwest Casual, and there was neither a whiff of cigarette smoke, nor a drop of alcohol in the room. The birthday boy had survived a “cardiac event” in the last year. Happily, he came roaring back. On a wide plasma screen, he showed us the watercolor illustrations for a book that he is selfpublishing. He was strong enough to complete the Seattle-To-Portland bicycle tour this summer, and the guys were discussing the routes of future rides. Another neighbor told us about a 50-mile back-packing trip she enjoyed with her daughter last month. Lenny and I gave updates from our son who was “on the road” with a band. I couldn’t help but think as we talked that our conversation would have been utterly inconceivable to our parents. Throughout the party I wondered what they would think about our lifestyle. Perhaps they might think it a bit dull, but at least when we raise a glass to health, we have a lot more information about how to preserve it.

Coinstar saw a three-year earnings growth of 81 percent, revenue growth of 37 percent and a total return of 19 percent. “Coinstar’s commitment to innovation has consistently delighted consumers and delivered substantial value to our partners, positioning us well for continued growth,” said Paul Davis, chief executive officer, Coinstar. “This distinction by Fortune is a testament to our ability to provide our consumers with practical, value-added technologies in automated retail. We are honored to be a part of this
list of market-movers.” Coinstar’s Redbox units have created a competitive alternative to streaming services such as Netflix that have severely crippled or put out of business many video rental chains. Along with the Redbox units, Coinstar also has machines where customers can deposit their loose change in exchange for gift cards from their favorite businesses or cash, with a fee of approximately 10 cents per dollar of change counted. Two other Washington companies, Amazon and F5 Networks, made the Fortune list. Washington’s three companies ties it for seventh place in the country, behind, California, New York, Illinois, Texas, Maryland and Massachusetts.

Gripping Village Theatre musical inspires a new kind of patriotism Desperation, longing and full musical theater belting rocked the house, as actors performed “Take me America” at Village Theatre opening night, Sept. 14. The name of the musical was also the the cry for help uttered by seven of the characters in the show, refugees who had come to the U.S. from all over the world, including Algeria, Darfur, China, El Salvador, Haiti and Palestine. Those seven actors grappled with an added challenge
of singing and acting with accents from their character’s respective homelands. Whereas Aaron Finley, Dennis Batemen and (a hilarious performance by) Leslie Law, played the U.S. officials who determined whether they would stay or go. Standout acting included Ben Gonio, who played a Chinese poet fleeing persecution under Communist China. Gonio’s dramatic performance was gripping as he recounted atrocities he suffered in prison. On the other hand, performer Diana Huey, who played his wife, sparkled with an impressive vocal range and tenderness in her duets with Gonio. In many cases, the characters in the musical were fleeing from certain death, such as Malith, a Dinka from Darfur, played by Ekello Harrid Jr. More immediate than immigration, asylum requires people to prove they are fleeing from harm’s way in their homeland. In reality, this life-and-death situation happens everyday in the U.S. “Take Me America” writer and lyricist Bill Nabel was inspired by the PBS documentary “Well Founded Fear,” where filmmakers Michael Camerini and Shari Robertson enter the closed corridors of Immigration and Naturaliza-

tion Services. The film reveals a stark, haunting true story where human rights and American ideals collide with the nearly impossible task of trying to know the truth. Some refugees seeking asylum lie about their reasons for wanting to come to the U.S. That was touched on in Nabel’s show with the character Jean, a Haitian refugee played by J. Reese. Jean lied about his reasons for seeking asylum, because no one will believe that he is actually a gay man. This brings up another success of “Take Me America” – it’s ability to entertain, while still presenting a serious topic. It’s a musical that both excites, and wrenches the heart. While Jean’s story of being discriminated against for his sexual orientation was somber, the song “Not Gay Enough” was upbeat and humorous, depicting the various lengths Jean went to “look the part” for the U.S. bureaucrats, including dressing in drag and throwing glitter. Finally, the show closed with projections of Lady Liberty over the simple, yet versatile set (a series of file cabinets) as refugees once again cried out the show’s signature phrase. Hearing these desperate cries, to be taken or rescued by America, was a reminder to audience members of their own freedoms in the U.S. As Nabel had hoped, the show redefined conventional notions of the American experience with both poignancy and a powerful delivery. Take Me America runs now until Nov. 20 at Village Theatre, 303 Front St. N., Issaquah. For more information, go to www.villagetheatre.org or call the box office at 425-392-2202.

GAMES PLAYED 9/16
Bellevue fends off Interlake
Bellevue used a pair of kickoff returns for touchdowns from Budda Baker to beat Interlake 42-20. The Saints, after already being victimized by Baker on the opening kick of the game, opted instead to kick the ball out of bounds and hopefully avoid giving up another score. But the Wolverines chose to force Interlake to kick the ball again and when they did, Baker again took it back for six. He also had an interception on the night. The Wolverines will be back at home to face Lake Washington tonight while Interlake will try to get in the win column for the first time against Mercer Island.
Vikings remain unbeaten in first year
Bellevue Christian moved its record to 2-0 after a 40-21 win over Evergreen (Seattle) on Friday at Lake Washington High School. Quarterback Kemper McQuaid went 16-26 through the air for 305 yards and four touchdowns. BCS fell behind early, but rebounded to take a 26-7 lead into the half. Bryce Oldham, Rajan Hanstad and Nick Schubert all caught touchdown passes from McQuaid. Austin Razor added a rushing score and Josh Hazen took an interception back 50 yards for a first-half touchdown. The Vikings will travel to La Conner for their first road game of the year tonight.
Totems dropped by Noel, Liberty Blake Miller, a senior at Issaquah High School, had high hopes for the 2011 football season and continuing his career in college.

Concussions to youth athletes getting increased attention From afar, Blake Miller looks like any other up-and-coming high school football coach. He exudes energy, clearly possesses a knowledge of the game and has a seamless connection with the players he works with. Probably because just a few months ago, he was one of them. During a jamboree in June, Miller, now a senior at Issaquah High School, suffered the sixth concussion of his life and third in the past calendar year, prematurely ending his football career. “I don’t remember it,� Miller said of his most recent concussion. “But
when I got hit, I knew I was done. It was rough.� Unfortunately, Miller is far from alone. A concussion is defined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention as “a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head that can change the way the brain normally works.� Symptoms include headaches, nausea, trouble balancing, dizziness, sensitivity to light or sound and concentration or memory problems, among others. Around 90 percent of concussions do not result in any loss of consciousness. Dr. Stephen Hughes is a primary care physician specializing in traumat-

We create great smiles
ic brain injuries at Overlake hospital in Issaquah and has served as the team doctor for the Mount Si High School football team since 1990. “We want people to be very much aware that a concussion injury, in many cases, is something you can’t prove with a medical test (CT scan, MRI etc.),� Hughes said. “A concussion is a collection of symptoms.� Those symptoms are signs the brain is still attempting to recover from trauma and more importantly, they are a warning. “If you take another injury, the brain has lost its ability to regulate the
Junior quarterback Isaac Dotson got his team started on the first drive of the game, going in from four yards out to make it 7-0. Two possessions later, Neil Hones intercepted Bothell signal-caller Austen Dahl to give his team the ball back with just over two minutes remaining in the first quarter. After moving to the Bothell one yard line on another carry from Dotson, Hones went in to make it 13-0 Newport. The Cougars answered with a touchdown of their own from junior running back Kizham Proctor and a 31-yard field goal to make it 13-10 at the half. After beginning the first drive of the third quarter deep in Knights’ territory after a long kick return and personal foul penalty, Proctor added his second score of the night to put his team in front 17-13. But it was too much Dotson down the stretch. Newport faced a 4th and two from the Bothell nine yard line, but were pushed back ten yards after consecutive delay of game penalties. Head coach Mike Miller opted to keep his offense on the field instead of attempt the field goal and his quarterback made sure the gamble paid off when he hit junior Miles Fowler for a sixteen yard score. “13 [Dotson] is a great player,� Bothell head coach Tom

[ CONCUSSIONS from page 16 ]
Lystedt Law brought national response Getting back to normal Victor Lystedt is like any proud father. “Every time Zack was up at the plate, I would always get butterflies to see how far he was going to hit the ball,� Victor said. “When he was on the football field, I loved to watch him run and tackle. As a father, you want to see your son perform.� But all of that changed on a fateful October day in 2006, when the youngster from Maple Valley suffered two concussions over the course of one junior high football game. Lystedt collapsed after the game as a result of severe brain hemorrhaging and eventually had both sides of his cranium removed. He spent nearly three months slipping in and out of a coma. It was nine months before he was able to speak and over a year before he moved on his own. He was forced to eat from a feeding tube for 20 months. “You just take little steps and build on them,� Victor said. “We just want to get back to normal.� A major piece of getting Zack as close to normal as possible is Dr. Stan Herring, a
clinical professor at the University of Washington in Rehabilitation Medicine, Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine and Neorological Surgery. He is also co-medical Dr. Stan Herring director of the Seattle Sports Concussion Program and a team physician for the Seahawks and Mariners. Since meeting the family four years ago, Herring has worked tirelessly not only to aid Zack’s recovery, but to spread the message of concussion awareness. “He’s an amazing kid,� Herring said of Zack Lystedt. “He’s changed all of our lives; Zack has remained a big part of our family.� Now, five years after being injured and months after walking across the stage to accept his high school diploma, Zack is finally beginning to get back to normal. He is set to begin taking a class at Bellevue College in the fall. In 2009, as a result of Zack’s saga, Washington became the first state to adopt head injury and concussion legislation by passing Engrossed House Bill 1824, known since its signing as the Lystedt Law. The legislation, which is intended to be educational rather than punitive, states in
part, “Athletes cannot return to practice or a game until evaluated by a licensed physician trained in the diagnosis and management of concussions and given written medical authorization.� In addition, the law stipulates that only one of five certified professionals (medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, advanced registered nurse practitioner, physicians assistant and licensed certified athletic trainers) may offer a return-to-play authorization for an athlete under the age of 18 that is even suspected of having suffered a concussion. Student-athletes and their parents are also required to sign a concussion information sheet prior to the participation in school sponsored athletics.
Since the Lystedt Law was adopted by Washington, 28 other states and the District of Columbia have introduced legislation to prevent athletes from returning to competition before deemed safe by a medical professional. While the law creates a set of standards for returning to play after a suspected concussion, surrounding issues such as baseline testing are still up for debate.

Newport coach dies before game BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com
The Newport football program was rocked by tragedy last Friday when it was discovered that Tim Driver, a stalwart in high school athletics around the area for nearly three decades, had passed away only hours earlier as a result of a massive heart attack. The 46-year old Sammamish High School alum (1984) was a resident of Kirkland. There was confusion initially when Driver, known for his dedication to youth athletics and education, was not present for warm-ups in preparation of Newport’s 4A KingCo game with Bothell. Coaches were informed of their friend’s passing by school athletic director Gill James as they left the field after the Knights’ 28-24 win. Players were notified shortly after and remained together at the school before regathering there on Saturday. Driver, who had been at Newport since 1988, was the offensive coordinator for Miller’s Knights and also coached basketball and softball at Bothell. He was previously a basketball coach at Sammamish High School as well. “There will never be another Tim,” Teri Helms, a sister of Driver’s said in a statement. “His consistent and faithful efforts to value and put people first will be forever missed.”
There will be a memorial for Driver on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 4 p.m. in the Newport High School gymnasium. The public is welcome to attend.
Totems get win by way of Ballard forfeit
Coach Brian Tucci and his Sammamish Totems are no longer winless. For the second straight year, Sammamish has picked up a non-league win by way of a forfeit. Tucci was informed of the violation and decision from the league last week. Garfield used ineligible players in a nonleague game last season that was also later forfeited. Ballard, which defeated the Totems 34-27 in the 2011 season opener two weeks ago, self-reported using an ineligible player or players on a conference call with KingCo Athletic Directors earlier this week. “The kids have mixed feelings on it,” Sammamish head coach Brian Tucci said. “There’s still an emotional tie there.” Details surrounding the number of ineligible players used and which specific players were in violation were not reported on the conference call.

Newport running back Neil Hones stiff arms a Bothell’s Jared Berry during the Knights’ win. GARY MAKOWSKI, COURTESY PHOTO
[ SCOREBOARD from page 16 ] Bainter said after the game. “He can do it all- he throws the ball, runs the ball, he runs that offense really well.” The Cougars tried to grab momentum back with a 92-yard kickoff return from William McIntyre, but Dotson again drove his team the length of the field and again hit Fowler in the end zone to go back on top 28-24. Bothell’s final two possessions ended with a punt and interception by senior defensive back Nate Anderson and the Knights were able to chew up the final five minutes and 20 seconds of clock with their patented run game. Dotson finished with 82 yards on 15 carries and one touchdown. When the Cougars’ defense decided to key on the junior quarterback, he made them pay by making quick reads and getting the ball into the hands of running backs Brian Setijono, Neil Hones and Eric Rodan. Setijono carried the ball 13 times for 53
yards, Rodan added 34 yards on 14 carries and Hones chipped in with another 34 yards on nine rushes and a score. While it was Fowler who shined with a pair of catches that both went for touchdowns, Rodan, Riley Guilbeault and Nate Anderson also each got involved in the passing game. Anderson, who also picked-off a pass, had three grabs for 40 yards and Guilbeault, who left in the third quarter with a knee injury and did not return, had three catches for 27 yards. Nathan Kubej led the defense with 11 tackles and Hones came up with seven more and also intercepted a pass. Trevor Creek, Will Chang and Bennett Long also helped pick up the Newport defense. Kizhan Procter scored two touchdowns on the ground for Bothell and Will McIntyre returned a kick 93 yards for a score.

I heard a story ‘bout a piano on a sandbar, says the woman in line who I kind of know from someplace. They say some punk kid put it there — in Biscayne Bay. She says it like it’s a brand of peanut butter or frozen food — familiar like Birdseye or Aunt Jemima or Jif — not some place halfway across the country where the old people go for vacation once a year. I nod, coolly, and hand the cashier my credit card. The cashier’s just a kid, maybe 19, maybe 20, with whitish blond hair spiked up on the back of his head.

Mildred was born August 1, 1922, to a Danish immigrant and his Montana wife, Mildred Marie Jensen was always more of a Millie. She had four handsome brothers and, after moving to Seattle and marrying William Hendrickson, had four children of her own: Mark, Mike, Sally, and Mary Ann. She loved Elvis, her family, and traveling the world, possibly in that order. She liked to stay up late, took her fiction hard-boiled and always did her ironing during the Carson show. A diehard sports fan, Millie was liberal with both her air horn and her insightful opinions regarding the referee’s eyesight. She wore lipstick, could belt out a tune and had a thing for Frank Sinatra. Eastgate was her home for 56 years and she loved to have people over to visit. Said visits generally ended in extremely competitive card games, including, god help us all, Phase 10. A boastful winner and a terrible loser, her family clearly takes after her. She loved to laugh and her sigh of exasperation has yet to be equaled. As a grandmother with gambling tendencies, Reno was a frequent port of call, but wherever she went she always came back loaded with pictures, (at the Eiffel Tower, in the Coliseum, on a Mississippi riverboat arm-in-arm with notorious pool hustler Minnesota Fats etc.) foreign currency, and exotic trinkets for her seven grandchildren (Amy,Jeff,Glen,Calli,April,Laurie,Kelly) and one great-grandchild (Martez). She was greatly loved and will be missed. Donations can be made to The American Legion Fred Hancock Post No. 19, of which Mildred Hendrickson was a lifelong member. 527946

Our loving mother passed away August 12, 2011 after a fall. Raised in Miles City, MT, the first in her family to go to college, she earned her bachelor’s degree while raising three children. She went on to become an attorney and worked as a public defender with the Society of Council Representing Accused Persons in Seattle for 20 years. A voracious reader, lifelong tennis player, gardener who delighted in each new blossom, and a life enthusiast who celebrated every new dawn, she loved music, animals (especially her cat Lily), learning anything new, cooking for family and friends, the great outdoors, and sharing any discovery or delight. Gracious, dignified, whimsical and wise, and an indomitable optimist, she is survived by her three children, Leslie (Rod) Balsley, Katherine Lind & Jordan Lind, her former husband John Lind, her stepdaughter Kristie (Pat) Hammond, and grandchildren Chris & Laura Balsley. She was preceded in death by her parents Jennie & Clarence Voorhies and stepson John Lind Jr. A celebration of her life will be held at the Washington Park Arboretum Graham Visitor Center, Sunday, October 9 at 12:30 pm. Memorial contributions may be made to the Seattle Humane Society or UW Foundation/Harborview (NSIPAT).

I think of the letters I never write any more and how my signature used to look. I used to write letters to Ines, and Martha, and Edith Jones, and to my daughters and cousins removed once or twice, I never could remember. I’d write “Come and visit� — but they’d write “Come and stay� — and after enough people write you enough times saying, you come live in Southern California or Iowa or Georgia or

He slides the rewards card deftly. We didn’t have rewards cards that kept automated track of our balances and how much we’d gotten back when I worked at the corner store. We knew Aunt Ines was a good customer at the butchery from seeing her in there often enough, and that was why we slipped her an extra bag of ground beef or a bone for the dog every couple of weeks. (That was before the dog died and Ines moved to Southern California to be with her daughter, and son-in-law). By then she and I were both so old, I didn’t call her Aunt anymore. Ines’ sonin-law was about my age. I never liked him. He was smarter than me and knew it. That was why he took a bus for two hours just to take advanced classes at another high school, one that wasn’t out in the boondocks. No one knew what he took, but it apparently gave him enough educational background to be a software engineer. And who would want to take over their papa’s corner store when they could be a software engineer? The receipt prints out,

OK, old lady, I can hear him say in his head, but he just nods politely with a Yes’m and puts the eggs in the bag — last. I can remember doing the same job when I was 16, 19, maybe 20. Not at a big store with a supervisor and a manager and endless aisles, but the corner store on Main Street — the kind of store politicians like to bring up in their speeches. The “small business.� The “mom and pop store.� The “multigenerational family business.� They talk a lot about how these places go out of business because there’s no money or taxes are too high. They don’t give a whole lot of wordage to the idea that sometimes the next generation doesn’t want to continue the “family business.� Do you have a rewards card? asks the cashier. Do I? I think, and fumble around in my bag to find my wallet. I fumble around in my wallet to find my card, and when I finally find it, tucked behind my ID card.
