The ultimate bucket list
Display asks, ‘What do you want to do before you die?’ BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue is changing. We see it in the growing population, the new high-rises in downtown, the worsening traffic. But that doesn’t mean that community has to be lost. At least that’s what Bellevue resident Patty Gordon believes. That’s why Gordon decided to bring the “Before I Die” public art installation to downtown Bellevue. The “Before I Die” wall is an interactive public art project which invites people to share their hopes and dreams in public space. The wall, constructed by Gordon and her husband, Paul, is at the corner of Main Street and Bellevue Way. The concept behind the wall came about in 2008 when New Orleans-based artist and urban planner Candy Chang painted an abandoned building in her neighborhood with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with a grid of the sentence “Before I die I want to ______.” Within days the wall was filled with her neighbors’ aspirations. Since then, more than 100 “Before I Die” walls have been created in more than 10 languages, in more than 30 countries. Gordon said she started thinking about bringing the wall to Bellevue after stumbling across Chang’s story a year ago. “I’m really interested in public art,” Gordon said. “And I’m passionate about trying to build community.” At the time, Gordon’s two kids were attending Bellevue High School and she was frequenting the Bellevue Way corridor. She decided the location near the now-defunct KFC would be the perfect location.
Paul and Patty Gordon show the ‘Before I Die’ wall they created at Bellevue Way and Main Street. Similar walls have been put in in Kazakhstan, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Australia, Argentina, and South Africa. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter “I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to get that building looking cool during development?” Gordon said. She said the location’s proximity to businesses in the downtown area, as well as it’s proximity to the school, ensures there will be a variety of people walking by the wall on a daily basis. Her prediction seems accurate, as Bellevue’s wall has already been filled – twice. In addition to getting approval to use the building from the landowners – one of which happened to be an old fraternity brother of her husband – she also had to get the OK from the city. “The city was super supportive in having it there,” Gordon said, explaining that she met with Mary Pat Byrne, arts specialist for the city.
Gordon plans to stop by the wall once or twice a week to take photos of the entries and wipe it clean so more people can share their thoughts. Photos will be posted to the “Bellevue’s Before I Die Wall” Facebook page as well as on Chang’s website (BeforIDie.cc/ bellevue). Ultimately, Gordon hopes Bellevue’s “Before I Die” wall will encourage a better sense of community, and help Bellevue residents feel more connected with their neighbors. “We’ve kind of lost the whole front porch idea of talking with your neighbors,” Gordon said. “This is kind of my stab at creating a front porch.” Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602 kprosser@bellevuereporter.com

The Bellevue Special Enforcement Team (SET) arrested a prolific regional burglary suspect, Andy Max Ellis, 28, on March 28 and recovered what they called massive amounts of stolen property, guns and drugs. A total of seven guns were recovered, multiple guitars, musical instruments, jewelry, 59 grams of methamphetamine, and 4.5 pounds of marijuana. Detectives are still sifting through the recovered items and identifying owners. "This is an excellent example of regional law enforcement working together to solve crime," said Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo. Tacoma Police, Gig Harbor Police and the Pierce County Sheriff 's Office assisted Bellevue in the investigation and in serving the search and arrest warrants. Ellis was arrested, along with two others, Paul M. Valencia, 31, and a 30 year-old male yet to be charged, during a high risk traffic stop in Tacoma. Burglary tools and two ounces of methamphetamine were taken into evidence. All suspects are Tacoma residents. Bellevue SWAT, Tacoma PD, Gig Harbor PD and Pierce County Sheriff 's Office assisted Bellevue detectives with the search of Ellis' apartment. During the search, detectives recovered property linking Ellis to six recent burglaries including the firearm taken in a Gig Harbor burglary. They also discovered a marijuana grow room in the apartment. Ellis' roommate, a 28-year-old male, who was home during the search, was arrested for possession of a stolen firearm and possession of methamphetamine. He has not

Prior to being booked into King County Jail, he showed detectives homes in Bellevue that he burglarized. Valencia confessed to being the driver in burglaries in Bellevue along West Lake Sammamish Boulevard, Newcastle and Issaquah. More locations are still being identified. King County prosecutors filed charges against Ellis for eight counts of residential burglary and two counts of theft of a firearm. Charges filed against Valencia were two counts of residential burglary and one count of theft of a firearm. Additional charges are pending on all suspects.

Eastside Story
What’s happening in nearby cities Redmond: Researchers and scientists at the University of Washington’s Redmondbased Plasma Dynamics Laboratory are building components of a nuclear-fusion-powered rocket that could send humans to Mars. The scientists say that with existing rocket fuels, it’s nearly impossible for humans to explore much beyond Earth. “We are hoping to give us a much more powerful source of energy in space that could eventually lead to making interplanetary travel commonplace,” said lead researcher John Slough. North Bend: Thieves literally crashed the gates of Westerlund Excavation when they robbed the business early March 23, but they weren’t trying to get in. When the people who stole the company’s 1999 International rollback truck got to the gate, they were already on their way out, taking the truck, the Kubota “mini” excavator strapped to
www.bellevuereporter.com the back of it, all the diesel fuel they could siphon, and the front gate with them. Kirkland: The city wants to know if things are quieter along its waterfront. It recently amended an ordinance regulating watercraft noise. Those who live, work, visit or enjoy Lake Washington in Kirkland can respond to an online survey through April 15 at www. kirklandwa.gov/watercraftsafety. Bothell: A lawsuit filed against Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb by a former employee at his law firm was dismissed by a Snohomish Superior Court Judge on March 27. Lamb, who admitted to an affair with the woman, also had his counterclaims for legal fees against former intern Micaela Mae dismissed. “This case has resolved and been dismissed,” said Lamb’s attorney Christine A. Slattery in a statement to the Reporter. “We have no further comment.” Renton: The Federal Aviation Administration has delayed the closure of 149 air-traffic control towers in the country, including the one at Renton Municipal Airport, until June 15. The FAA says it needs more time to resolve multiple legal challenges to the closures. The Renton tower was scheduled to close April 21. Renton: Merri Rieger, the chief student achievement officer of the Kent School District, has been named superintendent of Renton schools. She takes office July 1. Others interviewed for the job were Bremerton Superintendent Lester Herndon and Puyallup Assistant Superintendent Crystalee Sweeting.
Man surrenders after standoff A standoff in Bellevue between King County Sheriff 's deputies and a man wanted in a Renton shooting ended peacefully Wednesday night when the man surrendered. According to KOMO News, the man, a 23-year-old Renton resident, was spotted by deputies in his parked car in the 4800 block of Lakemont Boulevard. When deputies approached, he put a gun to his mouth and threatened to kill himself, according to Cindi West with the King County sheriff 's office. The Renton shooting incident involved a man being shot in the leg. During the long standoff, the man's girlfriend sat down in the parking lot between
deputies and the man's car and wouldn't leave. A hostage negotiator eventually talked the man into surrendering. "We just want him to give himself up safely. We don't want him to hurt himself, but we're also concerned for our safety because he may turn the gun on us," West said. During the incident, a nearby shopping center, which included Matthew's Thriftway, was locked down with employees and customers inside. Customers who were inside the grocery store were told via a loudspeaker that they couldn't leave. They were eventually led away from the front windows and let out the back of the store, KOMO reported.

Heritage Corner A look at Bellevue’s past
The Aries family harvesting lettuce at their Larsen Lake farm, circa 1918. COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center
Larsen (‘Blueberry’) Lake
Larsen Lake is named after Danish immigrants Ove Peter and Mary Larsen. The Larsens acquired 160 acres near the lake in 1889. Ove worked at the Newcastle coal mines, and his wife and children grew vegetables and harvested wild berries to sell. Ove Larsen moved to Seattle in 1916, making way for the Aries family farm. The Aries brothers, who had purchased half of Larsen’s property in 1913, operated a very successful farm at Larsen Lake. The Aries farm shipped produce as far away as Alaska, the Philippines and Yukon Territory. In 1944 entrepreneur Louis Weinzirl purchased 45 acres of farmland and planted it with blueberries. He sowed multiple varieties, which allowed him harvest continuously from early July through mid-September. Over the years, the body of water was unofficially renamed “Blueberry Lake.” Many young people worked in the blueberry fields during the harvesting season. The Weinzirls hired a few boys to work on the farm year-round. These young men could earn between $600 and $1,000 a year, and some high school boys paid for their college educations in this manner. The Weinzirls retired from the blueberry farm in the 1960s. The city of Bellevue purchased the farm in 1970 as part of a 63-acre parcel that would become Lake Hills Greenbelt Park. The blueberry farm is still in operation. Like the Overlake Blueberry Farm at Mercer Slough Park, the Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm is owned by the city and leased to farmers.

Bel-Square escalator accident blamed on faulty maintenance The escalator accident Dec. 12, 2012 at the Bellevue Square Macy’s that injured seven people has been blamed on a loose skirt panel next to the steps that snagged on the moving stairway, jamming it and breaking the escalator’s chains, according to a news release by the state Department of Labor and Industries. In addition, the agency said, three of the escalator’s safety-stop systems failed and the malfunctioning escalator was shut down only when a passer-by pushed a manual stop button. In all, the L&I accident investigation found 32 code violations, 15 of
them directly related to the accident. They included failure to maintain the escalator to code and failure to conduct its required annual safety test in April 2012. L&I said the escalator is maintained by Macy’s, which has a maintenance contract with the Schindler Elevator Corp. The investigation showed Schindler did not do the regular maintenance and safety checks that would have prevented the accident. The escalator remains red-tagged and out of operation until all code violations have been fixed. Jose Rodriguez, Assistant Director
for Field Services and Public Safety, said L&I will now require the company to clearly outline the steps it will take to bring all of the escalators and elevators it maintains up to the state’s safety codes, and will be continually monitoring the company to ensure it carries out the corrective actions. Soon after the Bellevue Square malfunction, L&I ordered Macy’s and Schindler to conduct internal safety inspections of the mall’s three other escalators with state inspectors present.Those checks also revealed numerous safety problems, which were fixed before they went back into operation.
Rotary race/walk to enrich children’s lives The race may go to the swift, or to the stroller-and-pet enriched, or even to a child. According to Chris Monger, President of the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (BBRC), it might go to “all the above” - when runners and walkers of all abilities gather on Sunday, April 28. Up to 3,000 runners and walkers will put their feet to the ground that day and run or walk to help save and enrich lives of children. The seventh annual Bellevue Run will include the Overlake Hospital 10K Run, the Y Family 5K Run/Walk, and the Seattle Children’s Kids Dash. All three will raise funds to support Seattle Children’s Autism Center, Kindering, and the BBRC Foundation, which supports local and global service projects and nonprofits with a focus on saving and improving the quality of life for children and families. “We’re a fun loving bunch of people,” Monger said with a smile, “Which is important when you’re getting up at ZeroDark-Thirty to set up for something like this.” Over 270 volunteers from the BBRC and the local community plan and put on the event, which has grown every year since it was started in 2007. Registration starts at 6:45 a.m. and exhibitors for the
Starbuck’s Village will arrive early to set up along the south parking lot drive in Bellevue's Downtown Park near the start and finish line. Activities for children are available during the event. The Children’s Kids Dash is the final running event, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Early registration and volunteer sign-ups are underway and more information about the BBRC, the event and its beneficiaries are available at visit www.bellevuerun.com.

EDITORIAL
State budget needs to borrow best from all three versions
T
he battle lines are finally being drawn in Olympia over how to pay for state services in the next biennium. To say there’s a difference is an understatement. The good news is that Gov. Jay Islee’s budget and both the Senate and House versions pour more money into education: $1 billion in the Senate budget and $1.2 and $1.3 billion in the governor’s and House’s versions respectively. That’s not really surprising, given that the state Supreme Court mandated the state to “amply” fund our schools. But it does acknowledge the need is real, and it’s being treated as a priority. The differences, of course, is where each budget finds the money. And that is where the fighting will occur. Both Inslee and the House want to extend some taxes and close some loopholes. The Senate gets to its bottom line more with some cuts and fund transfers. None of the three is perfect, but all of them have things that should be considered. There are a number of state taxes set to expire this summer. Inslee and the House Democrats want to extend many of them; the Senate doesn’t. No one likes taxes – new or extended – but the state hasn’t yet fully recovered from the recession and continuing to get money from some of the taxes might be warranted. The same can be said of closing loopholes. Some are so old and out of date that they deserve to die. We expect to see and hear a lot of rhetoric poured out from all sides. But let’s keep it short. The final budget will borrow from each of the versions being promoted. Lawmakers need to focus on that and craft a budget that most of us can live with. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

The future is in their hands
T
he future of some of Bellevue’s longest established residential neighborhoods, as well as the city’s signature environmental reserve, the Mercer Slough Nature Park, will be determined by the City Council this month. Will our neighborhood streets be filled with hundreds of cars cutting through, putting our children Todd Woosley at risk as they walk to Enatai Elementary School? Will the beautiful drive along a class-one wetland become an industrial nightmare with 40-foot-high concrete walls? Or, will the city take the proper measures to mitigate the impacts of Sound Transit’s proposed East Link Light Rail project? So far, the city and Sound Transit have done a commendable job of working together to maximize the benefits of the pending light rail project, while minimizing its impacts. My hope is this will continue, and both the City Council and Sound Transit board will do the right things to minimize the most egregious impacts of East Link to our neighborhoods and park. Specifically, they have the choice of whether or not to stay with the plan to place the train in a trench, or have it take over the two northbound lanes of Bellevue Way. The trench would
minimize the visual and noise impacts of the train, as well as reduce any encroachment into the Enatai neighborhood. This design would also allow much lower walls along the west side of Bellevue Way. Another key decision is whether or not to add a southbound lane on Bellevue Way to handle a major increase in future traffic. The city’s expert transportation staff reported the new lane would prevent nearly four hundred cars from cutting through Enatai. It would also help prevent Bellevue Way from being reduced to two or three lanes during years of light rail construction. While a new southbound lane on Bellevue Way would cost the city more than the at-grade rail alternative, it would provide much more value and be a worthwhile investment. The council does seem committed
to protecting our neighborhoods, but there’s not much more that can be done. Enatai has already gone through Bellevue’s process for evaluating and installing traffic calming devices. The result was that only three of the eight proposed measures for 104th and 108th avenues southeast qualified, and they have already been built. It will only take four members of the City Council to determine the fate of the neighborhoods, Bellevue Way South and the Mercer Slough Nature Park. The best opportunity to voice your support for protecting our quality of life is to comment at Monday’s public hearing. Todd R. Woosley has lived in Enatai for 15 years. His two children will be walking to elementary school during light rail’s years of construction on Bellevue Way. He also served on the neighborhood’s traffic calming committee.
Not all mistakes in life are equal
T
here are many degrees of mistakes. A barista forgetting your extra shot of espresso is a relatively small mistake that usually can be easily amended. Hitting “Reply All” on an email not meant for all could potentially be a larger mistake, depending on what kind of emails you’re in the business of forwarding and who exactly Josh Suman makes up, “all.” Most people characterize driving drunk as a mistake, or at least in some cases, that is how it is rationalized after the fact. Driving under the influence has come to the forefront of our consciousness again in recent weeks, as another wrong-way DUI killed an employee of Eddie Bauer in Bellevue not long after a family was torn apart by a repeat drunk driver in North
Seattle and a high-profile University of Washington football player was officially charged for a one-car crash. As always, all the cases raise far more questions than they provide answers. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, which touts itself as “The States’ Voice on Highway Safety,” on its website, our state laws are on the harsher side in terms of punitive action. Folks in Virginia likely think our 90-day license suspension is high, since drunk drivers in the Commonwealth receive only a seven-day suspension for a first offense. The latest cases in our area have people suggesting the already mandatory ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders be put in place before the car is even returned from the inbound. But in a handful of states, including Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine and Ohio, they are “discretionary,” even upon conviction. In California, four counties are part of a
pilot program for mandatory ignition interlocks while the rest of the state is decided on a case-by-case basis. The place for growth, and a point of emphasis in any future discussions about state DUI policy, is on repeat offenders. Our current state law is an over-arching policy on “Habitual Traffic Offenders,” which is a group including those guilty of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, hit and run, reckless driving, DUI and some other related offenses. Three convictions in a five-year period earn a seven-year suspension. But it shouldn’t take three DUIs or two dead bodies and another nearmiss for drastic action to be taken. I’m not pretending to have all the answers, but I know we need to keep talking and finding ways to try and keep our streets and highways safer. Since as well all know, everyone makes mistakes.

Overlake offers less invasive heart surgery

The national honor was one of only five awards given by the AIA TAP for 2013. The team’s winning submission was for the Group Health Puyallup Medical Center.

Patients who have the less invasive procedure are also able to leave the hospital sooner, can drive one to two weeks after surgery and can return to work in a week’s time. In addition to fixing problems with the mitral valve, Binford said the minimally invasive procedure can be used on the aortic valve, tricuspid valve, holes in the heart and irregular heart rhythms. “Who knows what we can do in 10 years,” Binford said. “Because things keep getting better.” Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602; kprosser@bellevuereporter.com

Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue is now offering an alternative to invasive heart surgery for patients seeking to fix problems that don’t require the breast bone to be broken. The “Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery” (MICS), was introduced by Dr. Robert Binford this fall. The procedure aims to reduce trauma, pain and recovery time, while decreasing blood loss, and the chance of infection. Prior to working at Overlake, Binford worked as a heart surgeon in Tennessee, where he and is partner were doing approximately 75 of the surgeries a year. The purpose of the surgery tis to fix tissue that supports the heart valve’s opening which can weaken and lose its shape over time. To repair this condition, a device called an annuloplasty ring or band is sewn around the base of the heart valve to reshape it and give it support. Sammamish resident Mark Phelps had the surgery in February, after discovering his heart’s mitral valve was not working correctly. Phelps was the first patient to have this surgery at Overlake. Phelps said it took him about a year to sense that something was wrong with his heart and that he needed to take action. Through a series of tests it was discovered the mitral valve in his heart was failing, and that his heart was pumping 50 percent more blood (than is standard) to maintain his status quo during rest. Binford said with an invasive, or “open procedure,” it takes between three and four months for a patient to fully recover, with restrictions on how much they can lift for the first 12 weeks. Patients who have this procedure done are generally able to return to a desk job after six to eight weeks; patients returning to a more physical job usually return in three to four months. However, the less invasive procedure allows a quicker turnaround. Binford says the weight restrictions only apply to the

Sammamish High School students tackle big issues at Gates Foundation When 240 ninth grade students at Sammamish High School were assigned to think critically about global agriculture, their findings didn't just end up on desks of their three teachers. They presented their results to members of both the Agricultural Development team and Foundation Management team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Working in small groups, students researched challenges in either Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia and devised a solution in the form of a mock grant proposal where they identified the strategies and resources required to help farmers overcome these issues.

Bellevue robotics students head to national competiton BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
Robotics team members from Newport High and International School in Bellevue will head to St. Louis, MO, on April 27, where they will compete in the FIRST (For Inspiration of Science and Technology) Robotics Championship. The competition, which will be held at Edward Jones Dome, will feature 322 teams from across the country. The Bellevue students won their trip to the championship after taking first place at the Seattle Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. The competition featured teams from 64 schools that competed to see whose robot could toss the most Frisbees through a goal at the end of the field.
As part of the regional competition, students had six weeks to build a remote-controlled robot using a standard kit of parts and a common set of rules. The Newport Robotics Group had the highest scoring robot out of all teams in the competition. The team also went undefeated in the competition and was the No. 1 seed going into the finals, which enabled them to choose its alliance partners. The Newport team chose International School’s Titan Robotics, which finished as the 26th seed with a 5-4 record, as well as Aviation High School from Highline School District. Bellevue's Interlake was the No. 4 seed after the qualifying rounds, but was eliminated in the quarter-

Native plant sale to benefit Eastside Audubon Society The Eastside Audubon Society will hold its annual Northwest Native Plant Sale on Saturday, April 27, bringing together rare and popular plants, knowledgeable gardening advice and habitat improvement for birds and butterflies. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Kirkland Children’s School, 5311 108th Ave. NE. More than 120 plant species will be arranged in nine areas representing various types of plants, such as ground covers, flowers, and berry
producers. Plant specialists and an informative sign for each plant species will help people pick the plants that will enhance their garden and bring in birds and butterflies. “Locally found birds and butterflies thrive best when they can feed upon the fruits, seeds, flowers and bugs that are found on plants and trees native to the Pacific Northwest,” said volunteer sale manager Geary Britton-Simmons, who has bought, grown, and dug up 4,000 plants for the sale. “A great deal of Pacific Northwest habitat
has been replaced with pavement and nonnative flora, and now wildlife needs us to restore some of the native plants.” The sale will feature many varieties that don’t turn up at commercial garden centers: Upland Larkspur, White Fawn Lily, and Black Huckleberry, among others. Also available will be popular favorites such as Western Trillium, Woods Strawberry, and Red Huckleberry. Sale proceeds will fund Eastside Audubon’s work in conservation and education.
Omega Photo will sponsor a photo workshop in the tulip fields of the Skagit Valley from 9 a.m. to noon April 17th.

Four ways to drought-proof your yard The past few years have not been kind to lawns and gardens across the country. The summer of 2012 brought severe drought to much of the Midwest and a good portion of the country continues to experience drought conditions. Homeowners have two choices in dealing with drought: try to water enough to keep grass and plants alive and looking good, or implement long-term changes to make yards more resistant to extremely dry and hot spells. Fighting drought can be time-consuming and expensive. With forecasters and scientists predicting warming temperatures and more extreme weather events as the new normal, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that droughts could become more common and severe in the future. Making some changes to your approach to landscaping can keep you from worrying about your water bill and the well-being of your lawn when the weather isn’t quite cooperating.
Here are four ways to drought-proof your yard: ◗ Choose your plants wisely. You may want to choose plants solely based on aesthetics, but picking plants that thrive with less water is the key to keep your yard looking good no matter the conditions. Talk with the experts at your garden center about which types of plants make the most sense for your climate, and which ones might be a little more drought-resistant than others.
the truth is, a green lawn usually requires a lot of water to maintain. If you don’t want to part ways with your lawn in favor of natural landscaping that’s more water-friendly, you have another option: synthetic turf. ◗ Add mulch. Covering the soil around your plants with a layer of mulch or compost can help improve water retention, inhibit growth of water-hungry weeds and cool soil temperatures to keep your plants comfortable when temperatures rise. Natural mulches break down and are absorbed into your soil, which means there’s little maintenance besides adding a new layer when appropriate.
If you’re tired of maintaining your yard when the mercury soars and the rain stays away, it might be time to adjust your planting strategy this spring to make your yard naturally resilient. Most drought resistant improvements are good for the environment too, allowing you to feel good while you also save yourself time, money and effort. – Brandpoint
◗ Make your water work harder for you. No matter what you do to drought-proof your lawn, you’ll likely still have to do some watering. Drip irrigation systems can make your water go further by applying it directly to the root of plants. If you’re watering by hand, water in the morning when temperatures are cool, and apply water to the soil rather than directly to the plants. Installing a rain barrel is a great way to put the water that runs off your house to good use -
2013 Spring
◗ Go easy on the grass. For some it’s hard to imagine a picturesque yard without a lush and expansive yard. But
and you can use that water even if watering restrictions are in effect.

Hearings set on light rail, medical marijuana The Bellevue City Council will hold two public hearings on Monday, April 15. One hearing is on cost savings options for the East Link light rail project; the other is on interim zoning to regulate medical marijuana. Monday’s hearings will be part of the council’s regular meeting, which begins at 8 p.m. in the council chambers of City Hall, 450 110th Ave. NE. The public hearings portion of the meeting is anticipated to begin at 8:30 p.m. or later.
East Link cost savings options Prior to the public hearing, the council will hold a study session beginning 6 p.m. to discuss cost savings recommendations by a steering committee composed of staff
from the city of Bellevue and Sound Transit. Bellevue has been working with Sound Transit since early last year on ways to reduce or eliminate a portion of the city's financial contribution for a downtown light rail tunnel. Cost savings options involve the alignment along Bellevue Way, 112th Avenue Southeast, and the location of a downtown light rail station. Final action by the council and Sound Transit Board on these options will establish the East Link alignment for final design and permitting. The council is scheduled to choose which cost-savings options to endorse at its meeting on April 22; the Sound
Transit Board is expected to make a final selection at its April 25 meeting.
Medical marijuana gardens Last May, the council adopted an ordinance and held a public hearing to establish interim zoning to regulate medical marijuana collective gardens for a six-month period. In October, the interim zoning was extended for another six months. Monday's meeting will provide an opportunity for the public to comment regarding medical marijuana collective gardens, and for the council to consider extending the ordinance for an additional six months.

Talented senior, new coach have Knights eyeing another 4A state tourney run BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
When Newport senior Angela Chen talks about last season, she can’t hide her smile for long. While the Knights were busy winning the 4A state team championship on the boys side, Chen and good friend Aime Vo stormed through the girls bracket to capture the doubles title with three 2-0 wins. Third-place finishes during her first two state tournaments and an injury that derailed part of her sophomore season made the win that much sweeter. “The season was awesome,” Chen said. “With the guys there winning state, the energy was amazing the whole tournament.” If Chen hopes to again hoist a trophy in the Tri-Cities, she will do it without a partner after assuming the number one singles spot for new coach Ryan Pang and the Knights. Pang, a standout during his own prep days at Mercer Island and player at Santa Clara University, coached high school tennis in California after college and has worked with Chen and a host of the Eastside’s other top players for a number of years as a private instructor on Mercer Island. He said while all of them possess talent, Chen’s demeanor on the court separates her and provides a distinct edge. “Most girls, even experienced players, they get so nervous,” Pang said. “Angela is a straight line the whole way
Newport senior Angela Chen has finished in the top-three at state in each of her three prep seasons for the Knights. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter
and if she needs to turn it on, she can.” So far in 2013, there has been little need for that. Chen boasts a perfect record on the season and has yet to even drop a single set in any of her victories. Even with defending champion Sammi Hampton of Skyview returning for another shot at the state’s top prize, Pang said Chen has a realistic shot at capturing another title, this time in the singles bracket. From the first time he met her nearly seven years ago, Pang knew he had something special. “She was 12 playing against 16-year-olds,” he said. “She was ripping the ball side to side, hitting winners. I was thinking she could probably beat me.” Chen said during her first three years, much of the focus at practice was on creating a team atmosphere, with little work on the technical aspects of the game like specific shots and court coverage. While the plan worked to nearperfection as the boys and girls celebrated together in a banner year for the entire program, it left Chen to refine her skill set with club coaches. With the addition of Pang, one of the most respected instructors in the area, she has found herself becoming an even more aware player through their work together. “It is great we have a coach with a lot of experience not just coaching but playing,” Chen said. “He really knows what he is doing helping us with strokes and strategy.” Now, with top-three state finishes in each of her seasons on the prep court and a host of USTA and amateur accolades to her credit, Chen is ready for her final act in the storied Newport program. While club tournaments and USTA events groomed her as a top-level player throughout her youth, Chen said it was the collective atmosphere of the high school team that has allowed her to enjoy the game most. “I just realized I really work better with a team, with people cheering for me and me having the chance to cheer for them,” she said. “I really like that aspect of it.”

Newport, Interlake golfers in front
Bellevue wins three of four Coach Pete Wilkinson and the Bellevue Wolverines opened 3A KingCo play with three straight wins behind a pair of stellar performances on the mound from Nolan Watson. The senior pitcher worked a complete-game shutout, striking out 14 in a 7-0 win over Sammamish. He followed that performance with another complete-game, this time in a 3-1 win over upstart Interlake, which managed only three hits in the loss. Teddy Roy spelled Watson in a 9-0 win over Lake Washington, working five strikeouts in over seven innings to get the win. The Wolverines lost to Mount Si 8-0 on Wednesday and host Liberty on Friday.

Johnson, Sullivan earn player of the week honors from U.S. Lacrosse A pair of Bellevue athletes earned honors from US Lacrosse Washington this week, as Bellevue’s Cole Johnson and Bellevue East player Camille Sullivan, a student at Interlake, were each named Offensive Player of the Week. Johnson helped Bellevue to three wins with 10 goals, five assists and 11 ground Camille Sullivan balls, including a pair over out-of-state foes in the Northwest Invitational. Sullivan scored 13 goals and nabbed 13 ground balls in two games for BELAX, which beat Seattle Prep and lost an 11-10 game to Holy Names. Stats and information from US Lacrosse Washington.
The track and field season has yet to begin in earnest, with the invitational schedule now complete, and a handful of area preps own top times among KingCo competitors. Budda Baker and Isaiah Gilchrist are first and second respectively in the 100 meters, which Baker won at state last year. The same two are followed by Myles Jack in the 200 and Jack owns the top time in the 400. Interlake’s Evan Turman has the fifth fastest time in the 200 and seventh best in the 400. Spike Sievert of Bellevue and Sam Giner of Interlake own the best two times in the 3,200 and Sam Richmond is in front in the 110 and 300 meter hurdles for Bellevue. Mitchell Stuart owns the KingCo marks for the shot put and javelin thus far, while Interlake senior Pierce Frazier has the highest mark in the pole vault. Former state placer Nikki Waghani has the best time in the 1600 and teammate Sophie Oscar is out front in the 110 hurdles. Bellevue’s Laura Reifsnyder is first in the 110 meters and teammates Floraine

JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter Interlake’s Aleana Groenhout and Newport’s Marianne Li are at the top of the conference so far in 2013 appear on the way back to their respective state tournaments. Groenhout leads 2A/3A KingCo a year after finishing in third place at the 2A state tournament (and leading after the first day) and will hope to make the trip to Lewis River in Woodland for this year’s 3A tourney. Li, who finished in a tie for third in 4A last year at MeadowWood and is the highest returning finisher among KingCo golfers, already owns a handful of medalist finishes in 2013 and sits atop the 4A rankings. Tiffany Huang of Bellevue (third) and teammates Lauren Patrick (10th) and Rachel Harmeyer (11th) will also be in the hunt for postseason spots.

Vital Statistics Virginia Rose McMonagle Religious of the Sacred Heart Virginia McMonagle died Easter Sunday, March 31, after a brief illness. She was the driving force behind the construction of Forest Ridge Academy of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue. A memorial at the school will be held at a Sister McMonagle later date. McMonagle was born Aug. 9, 1921 to George A. and Rose Virginia Tierney McMonagle in Roslyn, Wash. She was the oldest of three children – a sister, Marguerite H. McMonagle, who joined her as a vowed religious, and a brother, George A. McMonagle, SJ, who became a Jesuit brother – both of whom predeceased her. Her temperament was apparent at an early age, when as a six or seven-year-old, she left the Catholic Church when she discovered that her Presbyterian playmate had a Christmas party at her church and the Catholic parish did not. She went to see the minister, requested to join his church, and he, wisely, said he would think about it. Later it became clear that he had called Mrs. McMonagle, and the two of them had agreed that Virginia would be a Presbyterian until after the Christmas party. The family moved to the Seattle area in time for Virginia to attend Forest Ridge Academy of the Sacred Heart in Seattle. In 1940, she entered the Society of the Sacred Heart at Kenwood, Albany, NY, on Aug. 24, 1940. She pronounced her
