Key Bank robbed in Factoria – again The Key Bank in Factoria was robbed twice in two weeks. COURTESY PHOTO

Armed men robbed a bank in the 4100 block of Factoria Boulevard S.E. last Saturday morning. A Key Bank employee reported at 10:07 a.m. that two armed men wearing face masks had just robbed the bank at gunpoint. They fled with an undisclosed

amount of money. There were customers and employees in the bank when the robbers struck. No one was injured. Police didn’t know at the time if the robbery is linked to the robbery two weeks ago at the same location.

Witnesses said the two men were white. Both appeared to be in their mid-to-late 20s, 5 feet 8 inches tall with medium builds. They were both wearing black masks and black clothing. Both men left northbound on Factoria Boulevard in a black small sport

car type of vehicle. The suspects were not located. Anyone with any information about the robbery should contact the Bellevue Police Department through NORCOM dispatch center at 425-5775656.

‘Occupy’ movement comes to the suburbs BY NAT LEVY

Protesters advocate a 10-point plan put forward by MoveOn.org. NAT LEVY, Bellevue Reporter

The Occupy movement has infiltrated the suburbs. No, last Saturday’s Occupy Sammamish demonstration didn’t lead to any arrests or anyone being pepper sprayed. This protest had a different face – about 100 Sammamish, Issaquah and Bellevue residents standing at the corner of 228th and Inglewood Hill Road. They showed that the movement is not just for the young urban populations. “I think it’s critical that the suburbs get some exposure to the fact that there are people here who want to show some brotherhood with these ideas,” said Sammamish resident Rick Allen, a retired elevator constructor. They waived signs seeking increased

taxes on the country’s wealthiest individuals, and a crackdown on large corporations that many say don’t pay their fair share. Though many would consider Sammamish much closer to the 1 percent of the richest Americans rather than the 99 percent Occupy represents – according to the U.S. Census, the median household income in Sammamish is $129,583, three times the national average – residents at the rally say they have felt the pain of the economic downturn and cascading budget cuts. “Many of us used to be solidly middle class and are now poor,” said Judy Dunsire, a retired psychologist who lost all her savings when her husband fell ill. One of the main worries for people like Dunsire, a resident of Providence Point, is the constant talk that Social Security and Medicare [ more PROTEST page 14 ]

Police are searching for five suspects who broke into an Eastgate home, shot one person and assaulted another, sending them both to the hospital. King County Sheriff spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said five suspects broke into the home, located on the 4300 block of 150th Avenue Southeast in an unincorporated area of Eastgate, at approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday. There were five people in the home at the time, and a brawl began between the residents and the victims. West said two shots were fired, and one of the victims was

hit. Another was assaulted with a pipe and brass knuckles. Both of the victims were taken to Overlake Hospital Medical Center. West suggested that the break-in might not be a random occurrence. “The suspects went directly toward one specific bedroom like they were looking for something specific,” West said. West said the suspects have not been located, and police have no vehicle information.

Burglaries reported in Medina, Hunts Point Medina Police responded to an alarm in the 3100 block of Hunts Point Circle at about 4:40 p.m. Nov. 11 where they found the front door had been forced open and the thieves had already fled. Upon closer inspection items appear to have been stolen and the homeowner is working on compiling a list of exactly what was taken. Possible suspects, along with an associated vehicle, were observed leaving the area. Surveillance footage from cameras is being reviewed for any additional information.

Bellevue preparing for a snowy winter By Nat Levy nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

With hints of snow in the forecast in the coming weeks, Bellevue has ratcheted up its preparation. This season is expected to be another La Nina winter - wetter and colder - similar to last year. Puget Sound residents were lucky last year, with only one significant snow storm, but this could be another big year. Bellevue plows already have entered the foray, with several machines patrolling the high elevation areas last week on Thursday night and Friday morning. Bellevue, and many cities in the region, present a challenge in snow preparation. Bellevue is home to some very high elevations, and a number of the steepest streets in the state, said Tony Marcum, an operations manager with the Bellevue Utilities Department. Elevations in the city range from sea level, to 1,400 feet, requiring Bellevue to keep a variety of plans and equipment in its back pocket. Marcum said the Bellevue philosophy is to make sure streets are ready before snow falls, so the clearing and clean up is easier. “If there’s snow in the forecast,

Crews are ready for another La Nina winter and more snowfall. chad coleman, Bellevue Reporter we’re locked and loaded,” said Marcum. “We’re very proactive, instead of reactive, and I think that’s what really helps.” As winter has come closer, Bellevue held a series of training ses-

sions for employees from different departments. Employees learned how to back-up utility workers in the event of a big storm. Bellevue has 11 plows and a couple more anti-icing vehicles

in its fleet. Some are specifically tailored to deal with high elevations, while others are meant to go on the main streets of town. Marcum said the city’s plan is to make sure all main roads, and

primary neighborhood routes are clear before going down individual side streets. Scouts go into the field to find the areas that need the most attention and then route trucks that way. State officials also have begun prepping for bad weather. The Washington State Department of Transportation is responsible for keeping the state’s highway system clear. Crews will be on the road ahead of storms pre-treating areas where ice is likely to form first, such as bridges and ramps, and monitoring changing conditions. WSDOT has snow plows stationed throughout Western Washington and on Stevens and Snoqualmie passes. Crews in Western Washington have access to more than 195,000 gallons of liquid deicer and a stockpile of nearly 27,000 tons of sand and road salt. Additional snow-fighting equipment, sand, road salt and liquid deicer are stationed on the mountain passes. “We’re ready for it and we’ll be out on the road ready to plow where needed,” said Dave McCormick, WSDOT assistant regional administrator.

Higher taxes not the answer

f you haven’t started your holiday shopping, you might want to hold on to your wallet. Gov. Chris Gregoire wants the state to dig deeper into your pocket to help bail-out the state budget. Gregoire’s plan is two-fold: 1. Boost the sales tax by a half-cent, and 2. Have it “sunset” in three years. We have two concerns with that: 1. It’s another half-cent tax on what already is nearly (.095) a 10 percent tax on just about every dollar you spend, and 2. Does anyone really expect that a tax, once in place, will ever go away? Gregoire says her new tax would bring in close to $500 million annually and be largely used to help fund education. Before you applaud, recall that this is the same person who just recently proposed cutting your kid’s school year by four days. Apparently schools – and our kids’ education – is only important if we pay more for it. Gregoire, of course, knows the fallacy in this. The state constitution says clearly that education is the paramount duty of the state. It doesn’t say anything about having to raise taxes to do this. The state may or may not need an extra $500 million, but schools aren’t the place you cut when money is tight. That’s the same problem with her earlier plan to cut the school year by four days. Doing so would save the state $99 million in the 2012-13 school year by not having to pay teachers for those four days. But that also means that our kids get cheated out of four days of instruction. Does anyone really think our kids can get by with LESS education? We understand that the state faces some tough financial questions. Legislators are due back in Olympia on Monday to deal with a $2 billion hole in the state’s budget. But that doesn’t mean that higher taxes are – or ought to be – the first choice for a solution. After all, it’s not as if taxpayers’s money is burning a hole in their pockets. Quite the opposite. Consumer prices in the Seattle area have risen 3.8 percent over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, take-home pay for people around here has gone up 1.7 percent. Do the math and you’ll see we’re falling behind. Drive to work? You’re even worse off. The price of gasoline in the Seattle area is up 26 percent since last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. And that means energy prices are up 16.5 percent. There are more – lots more – things that cost more today than they did since October 2010. We’re not saying the task facing the Legislature is an easy one. Far from it. But higher taxes should only be considered as a last resort. The state isn’t there yet.

– Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

GoodLETTERS reasons for annexation Obama wrong to bypass Congress It really concerns me that the president is using a high number of executive orders to bypass Congress on appointment confirmations, and now to implement programs that he cannot get Congress to act upon and pass as he wants. There is no accountability, and a first step towards a socialistic government or dictatorship. Every president uses executive orders, but not to the extent Obama has for actions that should be under the jurisdiction of the Congress.

Larry Brickman, Bellevue

Good reason for annexation As an Eastgate resident for 30 years, I am supporting and working for the annexation of my unincorporated Eastgate neighborhood to the City of Bellevue. The city already totally surrounds our area of about 5,000 residents, but it’s King County struggling to provide our local services. I want the better police protection that the city will provide. Early next year, the King County Sheriff ’s Department will cut costs by consolidating its Eastside police precincts into a single precinct based in Sammamish. County leaders have forthrightly warned Eastgate residents to expect “degrada-

tion” of county services in the years to come. King County simply will NOT have the funds to provide even our existing level of local services. I also want improved access to my local government. The county has about 1,931,000 residents, the City of Bellevue only 122,000. So county leaders and employees can’t begin to know the concerns of my area that the Bellevue City Council and staff can. Annexation will strengthen our police protection and make government services more accessible. Annexation is a good bargain.

Susan Wineke, Bellevue

A tough, but welcome vote A lot of us express our frustration at the state of Washington, D.C., politics: the partisanship, the gridlock and the lack of action to help our economy grow. So when our elected officials take a bold, brave vote on behalf of our state, it’s just as important to make sure they see our appreciation. Recently, Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and Rep. Dave Reichert all voted in favor of the free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. These free trade agreements represent the most significant progress on trade in the last 15 years, and have the potential to significantly increase jobs and economic opportunity for our state. These agreements lower or eliminate tariffs on everything

from industrial products to consumer goods in some of the most important markets for our state; South Korea, for example, is our state’s 4th largest trading partner. The three faced great pressure to oppose these measures, and we should be grateful for their willingness to take tough votes on that will benefit our state’s economy. So, on behalf of businesses and citizens in the 8th Congressional District, I wanted to take a moment to thank them publicly and I invite others to join me.

Eric Schinfeld, Seattle

Getting into the holiday spirit Re: Charity events kick off holiday season in Bellevue, thanks for this list of events. One of my favorite traditions during the holiday season is going to see light shows, whether in a botanical garden or elsewhere. I also love donating to charitable drives: I usually do Toys for Tots, but I like the idea of a coat drive as well. I’m sure everyone has at least one coat in their closet that never gets worn. One of my favorite charity events that’s going on this season is the Kindness Cab (http://www.kindnesscab. com) - a man named Leon drove from NYC to LA in a cab, gave free rides to people along the way and donated a lot of money to charity at the end. I love the concept and thought it was so creative.

THE BIG TABLE

Any of you who have read my column over the years know that I fiercely loved my dad. But I don’t think I’ve told you that my dear Pop was an alcoholic. During my school years, he drank from the time he got home until he fell asleep in front of the TV in bed. He wasn’t a mean drunk for the most part; he was a sleepy drunk. Dad always thought he was hiding this. But we all knew the minute he slid open the liquor cabinet, and whenever he went to the garage to tap his “secret” stash of Jim Beam. Even our parakeet got into the act, screeching mom’s nickname when dad reached for a bottle. My early adoration of him turned to embarrassment, shame, and yes, hatred. Although I couldn’t articulate it, I saw that alcohol was making him blank. This brilliant, charm-

It wasn’t an easy decision. But for Steven Goldfarb, closing the Seattle location of his family’s jewelry business, Alvin Goldfarb Jeweler, had to be done. After adding the location at 600 Union St., Seattle five

years ago, the Bellevue jeweler was doubling its efforts, but not its profits. Going from store-to-store also was diluting the time Goldfarb and his staff could dedicate to the overall quality of the business. “The strength of the business has always centered

on our Bellevue store,” said Goldfarb, president of the company which was founded by his father. Goldfarb’s grandfather was a jeweler, too. Now, the 18-person company will be consolidating into its original location at 305 Bellevue Way, which it’s maintained for 32 years. The [ more JEWELER page 7 ]

[ JEWELER from page 6 ] Seattle store is holding a liquidation sale and will be totally closed for business in mid-January. But it’s not all a loss. The stint in Seattle was useful in getting the word out to folks across the bridge, said Goldfarb, who’s been pleased with his stores’ reputation. “Most people think we’ve been around for 100 years. I don’t usually correct them.” What Goldfarb will miss is the international array of one-time travelers who come to Seattle for conferences or on cruise ships. While Bellevue has an international workforce thanks to Microsoft, he always enjoyed meeting folks from places such as Egypt and Ireland on a regular basis. Still, many of Goldfarb’s regular customers are Bellevue couples who bought their engagement rings or watches in the 1980s, when the store was new, and their children, grandchildren, friends and relatives. People frequent the store for the attention to detail, from knowing costumers by name, to selling beloved brands such as Cartier, Omega, and Rolex. Being greeted by Goldfarb’s friendly Havanese dog usually makes customers feel at home, too. “We’re looking forward to spending more of our time with our customers,” Goldfarb said.

Alternative to CPAP Therapy

“The most common treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) involves the use of a medical breathing device called a CPAP, “ said Doneskey. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, delivers air through a mask worn over the nose during sleep in order to help maintain an open airway. While CPAP can provide an effective solution, Doneskey reports that there are significant reasons why some people are unwilling or unable to use CPAP. “For example, restless sleepers often report having difficulty with getting comfortable and keeping

the mask on during the night. Others may have trouble keeping a seal around the mask and must use head straps to keep their mouth closed while asleep,” said Doneskey. According to Doneskey, patients also express lifestyle concerns such as the inconvenience of taking CPAP along when they travel or go on vacation. At The Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center, Doneskey reports high levels of patient satisfaction, compliance and success with a new oral appliance called “The SilentPartner™, a jaw-friendly FDA approved oral airway dilator that Doneskey himself helped develop. According to Doneskey, The SilentPartner is a comfortable, fully adjustable mouth appliance that allows the jaw to be safely placed in the optimum position to keep the airway open. In addition to keeping the airway open, The SilentPartner eliminates snoring in most patients while protecting the teeth of patients who clench during

their sleep. This appliance is so well received that according to Doneskey, more than 90 percent of his patients over the last 5 years are able to use The Silent-Partner on a full time basis.

Twilight’s ‘Breaking Dawn’ lights up theaters

read them. Regardless of how similar the book and MOVIE the movie were, I was shocked at how bloody the movie was at times. There were many scary and horrifying scenes throughout the film that were terrifying to watch. “Breaking Dawn Part 1” was certainly not for the faint of heart, and actually forced me to shield my eyes several times. In spite of the gruesome aspects of the film, I found it to be the best installment of the Twilight saga. There was no doubt that it was the most intense and suspenseful of the series. The story was thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat even though I had read the book. The acting also improved from the previous three movies, and Stewart’s portrayal of a weak and uncertain Bella in “Breaking Dawn” was far superior to her earlier performances. Overall, Twilight’s “Breaking Dawn Part 1” clearly surpassed the prior Twilight films. Twilight fans will be immensely pleased.

THE YOUNG CRITIC

Aran Kirschenmann

The fourth film of the Twilight saga is startlingly different from the first three installments. Just like “Breaking Dawn,” the book it was based on, the film kicks off with the human heroine, Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart), preparing for and anticipating her wedding to Edward Cullen, her vampire fiancé (played by Robert Pattinson). Their extravagant wedding, complete with elaborate outdoor decor and a giant white cake, was fun to see come to life on screen and was among the most lighthearted and humorous part of the film. Although the film started a little slow, it became more captivating and ended up being the most fast-paced film of the series. “Breaking Dawn,” the final of Stephanie Meyer’s four Twilight books, was cleverly and effectively split into two films since it had far too much action to successfully cram into a single movie. The book was already divided into three parts, the first two of which were included in Part 1. Despite one part being from Bella’s point of view and the other from Jacob’s, the film interwove the two perspectives unnoticeably and impressively. Fans of the Twilight books will be relieved to learn that the film followed the books very closely while still making the story easy to understand for those who haven’t

Police expand search for missing boy

FACEBOOK.COM/SHOPSMALL

Sky Metalwala Biryukova told police her car ran out of gas that morning, as she was attempting to take the boy to the hospital. She left the car at the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast with Sky still in the car. When she returned to the car approximately an hour later, he was gone. Bellevue police Maj. Mike Johnson said police have narrowed the investigation from earlier claims that no one had seen the boy in two weeks. He would not disclose when someone last saw the boy. Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to contact police using the tip line at 425-452-2564 or email Pdtipline@bellevuewa.gov.

Ann Oxrieder

New information from the public led Bellevue police to expand the search for 2-year-old Sky Metalwala, who has been missing for more than two weeks. Police on Saturday closed Kirkland’s Watershed Park. They scoured the park for much of the day and brought several items in for forensic analysis. But this lead, like many others in the case, turned out to be a dead end, said Bellevue Police spokeswoman Officer Carla Iafrate. The search came a day after police released a new set of photos of Sky’s mother Julia Biryukova showing her in a grey sweatsuit, which police said she may have been wearing Nov. 6, the day the boy disappeared. New images of the boy

show him with short brown hair. Police said these images are closer representations of what the mother and son look like now. In another development, a report surfaced Monday that Biryukova may have been involved in an email exchange with an ABC News reporter over the weekend. According to reports, Biryukova emailed the reporter that Solomon Metalwala had something to do with the boy’s disappearance. “ABC shared those emails with police, which were passed onto detectives to determine if there are any investigative value to them,” said Iafrate. “(It is) unknown if emails are actually from Julia.” Police say they are still trying to pin down the sequence of events that led to Sky’s disappearance.

Recently, a friend and I began leading an informal English conversation group for parents at a local elementary school. Most participants spoke Japanese as their first language and most had a similar level of English fluency, that is, they could speak in complete sentences, though some knew more complex grammar and had larger vocabularies than others. I found that thinking of topics that would excite the “students’” interest and trigger a conversation lasting for at least 45 minutes created more of a challenge than working with different levels of English proficiency. After the parents responded well to a warm-up question – If someone gave you $1,000 just for you, what would you buy

and where would you buy it? – we divided them into small groups to respond to our prepared questions on a subject we thought they’d want to talk about: the American school system. We were wrong. What did they really want to learn? “When I see the mother of my child’s friend, after I say hello and ask her how she is, what do I say next?” In other words, small talk. Small talk is an art and some of us are better at it than others. Knowing English well makes it easier, but there is no formula that works for everyone. I’m certainly no expert on this topic, though I can suggest they ask other questions, that is, if they know anything about the person to whom they’re speaking. Of course I should warn them about which questions not to ask. I still remember visiting a friend in Mexico who hadn’t seen me for a year. After the initial greeting, she said, “Haven’t you gotten fatter since I last saw you?” That wasn’t my idea of small talk.

It was clear that Sound Transit would stick to its route of choice

For the Bellevue council it became abundantly clear after an independent study commissioned by the city failed to optimize its preferred route - a route in which the train follows Interstate 405 into downtown - that Sound Transit was going to stick with its option that traveled down Bellevue Way and 112th Avenue. At this point, one of the primary proponents of the I-405 route (B7), Kevin Wallace, joined forces with Degginger, who backed the route preferred by Sound Transit, to meet with city and Sound Transit officials. Here, officials began to discuss how to mitigate impacts caused by running the train through residential areas. “We could have either got into endless litigation, or we could try to find a way to cooperate with Sound Transit and move forward,” Wallace said. Time was of the essence. Sound Transit confirmed its preferred route in July, with a deadline for the tunnel agreement to come in October. Up until July, Bellevue continued to push the B7, a route it favored by a 4-3 margin, rather than engage in the mitigation discussions with Sound Transit. So it came down to a three-month window. When nego-

“You start from a fixed, inflexible position, but as you work together over time and better understand the concerns of parties you can work towards trying to get something that may not be perfect, but something everybody can live with,” said Issaquah City Council Vice President Fred Butler, who served on Sound Transit’s three-man team with King County Executive Dow Constantine and Seattle City Council President Richard Conlin. It began with the alignment. Originally, the train was set to travel on the east side of Bellevue Way and 112th Avenue before crossing over to the west side. The train would have crossed the street three times. For Bellevue, this was unacceptable. Councilmembers didn’t want the bells and gates. They wanted to cross underground, but that was just too expensive to work, Butler said. So the sides settled on an above-ground flyover crossing from east to west, into a trench under Northeast Fourth Street. This gave the council one of its primary goals, a train that was not subject to traffic issues. “We wanted to make sure we could keep the traffic flowing, and that the train adds to capacity, rather than reducing it,” said Jennifer Robertson, the third member of Bellevue’s team. But this resulted in an unanticipated consequence. The train line would now run 20 feet from the doors of some residents. Sound Transit planned to take part of the land,

but the homeowners would be stuck with trains as neighbors. But through negotiations, the two sides agreed that Sound Transit would attempt to acquire properties, and if not Bellevue would look at stepping up to take the homes. With the alignment settled, it was time to figure out how to pay for the tunnel. All sides pushed for a way to keep the train off downtown streets, but it was not in the original financing package. Originally, Robertson said, Sound Transit wanted Bellevue to hand over $160 million in cash. Through negotiations that shifted to Bellevue donating land at no cost, and doing projects beneficial to the train. This made up the first $100 million, which would kick in around 2014 or 2015. The remaining $60 million, became the final issue. Talks between staffs and elected officials carried on until an hour before Bellevue signed the agreement Nov. 14. The end result was an agreement that both sides would work to reduce cost, and any savings would first go into Bellevue’s pocket to offset the $60 million. Under the nearly 100-page agreement, Bellevue and Sound Transit will work together to design the project and cut costs. Bellevue is on the hook for no more than $160 million. Built into the contract is a provision that either side can end the deal if they can’t afford it. But with the shared goal of cost-cutting, both sides will look to avoid that worst-case scenario.

Jean Margaret Blakely, née Voris, age 89, died 11/11/2011 in Bellevue. Loving, energetic and cheerful, devoted to her family, her church, and her friends, Jean brought laughter and a positive outlook everywhere she went. Born 3/3/1922, in Mankato, Minnesota, she was the third child of Paul and Letha Voris. Jean completed her BA in Dietetics at Iowa State in 1944, and spent her life feeding the hungry, celebrating her faith, and organizing the less organized. She married Carl Frederick Blakely in Bellevue on 2/16/1951; together they raised four children, Bill, Dianne, Dave and Sandra. Jean was blessed with five amazing grandchildren, Ashley, Cole, Courtney, Matthew and Tiani, of whom she could never brag enough. Her love of music was unstoppable: she sang in the church choir for 45 years. Ever the minister’s daughter, she was generous in her charitable work, to which she brought her dietetics training, her personal warmth, and her dedication to a life of good works. She served as president of Overlake Service League (now Bellevue LifeSpring) 1974-1975, was a dedicated member of the Worship commission and the Women’s fellowship at the First Congregational Church of Bellevue, and was the Eastside organizer for the Emergency Feeding Program of the Church Council of Greater Seattle from 1995-2002. We will celebrate her life on Saturday, November 26, at 2:00 p.m. in services at the First Congregational Church of Bellevue, 752 108th Avenue NE, Bellevue 98004. In lieu of SunnySide, flowers, please send donations to WaShington the American Cancer Society. Seeing Is in d re tu a Fe COME JOBelieving! oman W y tr n IN US! u Co ! e in az

When Mom came into the kitchen, she shooed us out and proceeded to prepare her stuffing. Within 20 minutes the bird was packed, garnished and inside the 425 degree oven. That’s when we realized that one of our hard plastic men was unaccounted for. “I think we left him in the cavern – I mean, turkey!” said the youngest. My brothers and I ate nervously that night – eyes shifting back and forth – waiting for one of us – or Mom or Dad – to break a tooth on

The imaginary gun battle that ensued inside the tom was spectacular. But all of a sudden, we heard the front door swing open (of the house, not the turkey.) Mom was back – and it was time for an all-guys’ retreat from out of the bird.

Once, my youngest brother dropped a guy into the toilet – a deep lake with steep, white, slippery walls. But when the toilet was accidentally flushed, the unfortunate plastic figure went whirlpooling off to Davy Jones – or the septic tank equivalent.

But that particular morning, our mom had just set out a 23-pound, nude turkey – ready to be stuffed, basted and roasted. But she had forgotten an ingredient for the stuffing, so she grabbed her coat and headed for the door for a quick jaunt to the grocery store. “Stay away from that turkey,” she said before departing. That’s when the turkey suddenly became a new adventure land for our little plastic men. We walked three of them

FUN TIME

It’s war! Man your turkeys By this time, most east siders are well into the Thanksgiving weekend. But my memory hearkens back to one long ago, when a turkey was more than just something to enjoy at the dining table. I grew up (at least part way) in a family with four other brothers. We five loved each other like any other group of brawling, punching savages. But one thing we all agreed on: We loved playing with our guys. Guys were any of a number of three or four inchhigh plastic men – ranging from cowboys to army men. They were made out of plastic so hard, only the largest neighborhood dogs could chew them to the point of ruin. One Thanksgiving morning, we were playing guys all over the house. Conventional household furniture, appliances and gadgets became fortresses and castles. The back of a chair was a formidable cliff. Shag carpet formed a dense underbrush. The pull cord for the drapes was a daunting climbing rope in the treacherous world of our fearless guys.

Demonstration organized by local MoveOn.org branch will soon be on the chopping block. Without those programs, she would be on the street, she said. Though any changes are unlikely to affect people already receiving Social Security and Medicare

benefits, future generations with Dunsire’s problems could be out of luck. “This is about hope for my child, and my grandchildren and everyone’s grandchildren.” Dr. Jeff Wedgwood, an

Issaquah resident who has been unable to work due to arthritis in his hands, was frustrated that politicians and heads of large companies are only thinking about the short term – what can get them re-elected – he said, not what will help people save retirement in the long term. Saturday’s demonstration was organized by progressive group MoveOn.org.

Much like the other Occupy movements throughout the nation, Saturday’s protest was not founded on one single principle. The overriding themes that inspired the Occupy movements – lack of job creation, not enough accountability for large banks, and frustration at the way corporations are treated – were touched on by MoveOn’s 10-point philosophy.

Those in attendance saw a peaceful and respectful demonstration as a way to be heard. Though small chants broke out from time to time, protesters did not block any roads or cause any trouble. They even made sure to pick up their boxes of food as they were leaving. But they weren’t without resistance. While many passing cars at the busy

intersections waved and honked at the protesters in support, some passersby shouted insults. “Form your opinion; stop closing your eyes and flipping me off,” said Allen, who waved a large American flag throughout the afternoon.

Bellevue’s highly anticipated showdown with Lakes ended with the same old song and dance, as the Wolverines picked-up a 35-14 victory. Senior quarterback Tyler Hasty scored four rushing touchdowns to lead the Bellevue offense. Interlake saw its season come to an end in a 55-28 loss to Lynden. Running back Jordan Todd tallied 359 yards to finish with 2,681, the most in state history.

Interlake players celebrate with the state championship trophy after defeating Cedarcrest 1-0 in the 2A state title match at Shoreline Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 19. The Saints outscored opponents 8-0 in five playoff matches. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

For the first time in school history, Interlake is home to the state champions of girls soccer. Kirk Tavener’s Saints held off Cedarcrest 1-0 at Shoreline Stadium in the 2A state championship game on Saturday behind a second half goal off a corner kick and a defense that did not allow a goal in the playoffs. “I don’t think that part of it has sunk in yet,”

Tavener said of the scoreless stretch for his defense. “That was part of the goal. Catie and the defense didn’t want that [allowing a goal] to happen.” Goalkeeper Catie Getzendaner, along with defenders Desiree Domini, Courtney Fedor, Tara Ghassemikia and Sarah Williams became only the third defensive group since 1997 (and second since the tournament expanded to four rounds in 2001) to keep the scoreboard stuck on zero on the route to a 2A tournament championship.

“I had an amazing defense in front of me,” Getzendaner said. “I honestly didn’t even get that many chances.” The Red Wolves’ best two looks of the evening skimmed just high of the crossbar and the outstretched arms of the Saints’ keeper. Most of the evening was spent in the Cedarcrest end of the field as Interlake used the speed of its defense to control the pace. “It makes it harder for teams to defend us because we have an attacking defense,” Tavener said. “They really stepped up in the playoffs.” The lone Interlake score of the contest came in the 41st minute when Isabel Farrell hit a corner kick that was deflected into the back of the net. The goal was credited to Emma Bergstrom, but the sophomore and leading goal scorer in the 2A/3A KingCo conference called it an own goal. “If she didn’t touch it,” Bergstrom said. “I would have.” Interlake outscored opponents 8-0 in five playoff games to earn the school’s second team sport title (to go with the 4A baseball trophy from 1986) and ensure a legacy for a team that players and coaches insist is something more. “We are a family,” Farrell said. “I think it means more to these girls than any other team in the state. This is huge for Interlake especially.” “Our whole goal was to get a banner in the gym,” Bergstrom said. “So future generations can look and see that girls soccer did something good.” The win gave Tavener a state title in his first season as Interlake head coach after coming back to the school from

Catie Getzendaner and the Saints’ defense did not allow a goal in five playoff games en route to a 2A state title. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter Lindbergh this season, where he left another group he had built into a state contender. Having been an assistant with the Saints previously, the win carried extra meaning and capped a season with a group he called “amazing.” To top it all off, it was the coach’s birthday. Asked what the win meant, Tavener was emotional and succinct. “More than you know,” he concluded.

Senior running back Jordan Todd brought his team even with the topranked Lynden Lions early in the opening frame of a 2A quarterfinal football game with a 80-yard touchdown run, but the visitors reeled off four consecutive scores to head into halftime with a 34-7 lead that would prove insurmountable. Todd, who entered the game with 2,322 rushing yards and was outside the top-eight on the singleseason list, tallied 359 more against Lynden to finish the season with the most prolific total in state history with 2,681 yards.
