Proposed reservoir expansion raises concerns in Bridle Trails BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
Tucked in the southeast section of Bridle Trails State Park, the Pike’s Peak reservoir, a 24-foot tower, is barely visible from most walking paths. But a growing demand for water storage in the city of Bellevue threatens to disrupt some of that tree-line. Pikes Peak was one of four locations assessed in a 2010 report by the city, which hopes to select a site for expansion in the coming months. “Without addressing this need, development and redevelopment projects in the northwest end of the city will be constrained until additional storage is developed,” reads
the Bellevue Utilities site. “Bellevue will be unable to fully implement long-range plans important to the continued vitality and quality of life for its citizens, visitors and employees of businesses within the city.” Bellevue has 27 reservoirs, totaling 42.5 million gallons of storage. But the city's growth rates – most particularly in downtown Bellevue and the Spring District, are expected to lead to a storage deficit as soon as 2016. A site for the additional 6.5 million gallons needed in the West Operating Area hasn’t been selected, but a 2010 report by the city, ruled out other locations, to suggest splitting the added volume between Pike's Peak and Woodridge Reservoirs. The proposal has raised concerns among some Bridle
CULTIVATING THIRD PLACES

Trails neighbors who question the impacts of the bigger footprint on a state park. A 2010 report estimated that between 80 and 120 trees would be cut during construction. Residents also worry about the appearance of the replaced water tower, which if constructed would be 48 feet tall, the height of a five-story building. “That doesn’t fit the natural landscape,” says Ken Hite, president of the Bridle Trails Parks Foundation. “That would involve significant tree cutting and close the busiest trail in the park. There are, from our perspective, a lot of downsides.” SEE BRIDLE TRAILS, 6
12 homes evacuated after natural gas leak Bellevue Fire units were alerted to a natural gas leak near the interchange of State Route 520 and 84th Avenue Northeast at 7:33 a.m., June 11.A contractor broke a twoinch natural gas line while digging in a culvert during the 520 widening project. The incident was in the 8000 block of Northeast 28th Street. The gas line break was on the south side of the freeway. Northeast 28th Street was closed from for the duration of the event. Approximately 15 construction workers, who were working in the vicinity at the time of the incident, were evacuated.Additionally 12 single-family residences were voluntarily evacuated as a precaution. Several schoolchildren waiting for the bus were asked to return home. Washington State Patrol was staged on 520 in cast the need to close the major thoroughfare was deemed necessary. Strong winds eliminated the need for such action. Puget Sound Energy was notified and responded immediately.Bellevue Fire units were on scene, with charged hose lines, in case of possible gas ignition.Initial efforts to clamp the gas line were successful. The gas line was then shut off without incident. Natural gas is much lighter than air and if not confined will dissipate rapidly.Working with representatives from PSE, Bellevue firefighters checked all areas of the hazard zone to determine if any gas remained.After checking all areas, including the culvert transcending State Route 520 project, it, too, was determined to be safe. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.A total of 12 fire department personnel responded to the incident.

Bellevue College is one of just 10 colleges or universities nationwide selected to receive a prestigious Climate Leadership Award in recognition of its efforts to improve campus sustainability. The awards are presented annually to signatory institutions of the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) that demonstrate innovative and advanced leadership in education for sustainability and climate mitigation and adaptation. “We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition,” said BC President David L. Rule, Ph.D. “The award validates all of our proactive efforts to improve sustainability, which in turn are contributing to a more livable environment.” In addition to this award, Bellevue College’s sustainability achievements have in recent months received a Governor’s Commute Smart Award and a Diamond Award from Commuter Challenge. Noteworthy initiatives include: the installation of several electric vehicle charging stations, including a rare DC fast charger; a comprehensive project to upgrade campus lighting, water and HVAC systems to substantially reduce energy consumption, incorporating geothermal heating and solar power; programs to encourage alternate means of transport, including a ride-
match website to facilitate carpooling; and a drive to integrate sustainability throughout the instructional curriculum combined with a student-created sustainability fund. BC has produced a video highlighting these efforts: www.bellevuecollege.edu/sustainability This year, the award program’s fourth, drew the most competitive pool of nominations to date. The winners came from 20 finalists announced earlier this year, representing a diverse group of institutions, including community colleges, research universities and professional schools. The awards are administered by Second Nature, a nonprofit co-founded by Secretary of State John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz, to foster a more sustainable environment by transforming the practice of higher education. It is a supporting organization of the ACUPCC, of which Bellevue College is one of more than 650 signatory institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

When nightmares come true
T
here are classic dreams, some bad, some not so bad. We all have them. In some of them, you can fly like a bird. It’s the best kind of dream, because you never have to wait in a security line or get groped by a TSA agent. Unless you like that kind of thing. Other common dreams include being chased – usually by a giant. (I wonder whom giants dream of being chased by?) But last week I had a classic dream that seemed Pat Cashman so real I swore it was really happening. Perhaps because it really did. Here’s the story: I had been hired to emcee a big glitzy event in Bellevue. Big time entrepreneurs were being honored in an awards show – and my job was to introduce them in a witty way. But for months and months on my calendar I’d thought the event was the next night – Saturday. So Friday night, around six p.m., I was sitting in a bar and grill with my wife – knocking back an I.P.A. and bar food. Things were good. I knew I had the entire next day to prepare for the entrepreneur event, writing a short monologue, getting my tuxedo pressed.
Then, suddenly, I got a text message: “Where ARE you?” It was from the event coordinator. I knew immediately I had gotten the date wrong – and needed to be on stage within an hour. In shock, I reeled backwards in my chair. My wife swore later that she thought I was having a heart attack. A heart attack would have been better. At least that would be some sort of excuse. I bolted for the restaurant exit pulling my wife along. The waitress ran after us. “You haven’t paid for your food or beer,” she yelled. I shouted. “I’ll be back tomorrow, I promise!” – and kept running to the car. Our home was several miles from the restaurant – and Friday night traffic didn’t help, but I was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, so a switch into a tuxedo was definitely required. Once home, I threw my tux pants on – and ran shirtless, sockless and shoeless back to the car. Somehow – and no doubt illegally – I changed into my tux shirt, studs and cufflinks while driving like Steve McQueen down the freeway. I slipped into my shoes while pulling into valet parking and then ran like Usain Bolt into the Bellevue Hyatt Regency where the Grand Ballroom was already filled with entrepreneurs, spouses and expectant colleagues. Once onstage, breathing hard, I told a quick story about Tony Robbins, the motivational speaker, who probably never inspired a real entrepreneur in his life. I said, “Tony Robbins is so upbeat and positive – that if he was ever jailed, he would probably tell people he was living in a gated community.” The audience chuckled. They clapped. Real nightmares don’t usually end like that.

DBA ruling: Modern tools needed to fight modern warfare
N
ewspapers reported June 5 that the National Security Agency is collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon under a top secret court to identify terrorists. I decided to see what the government may have gathered about our family that day if it was scooping up information from our telephone service provided by Comcast. There wasn’t much to scoop. We only placed two calls that day. One, for 36 seconds, was to a landscaper. The other was for zero seconds. I don’t remember, but probably a misdial. We received six calls. In order they were: 1 minute, 18 seconds reminding my wife about an appointment; 2 seconds from a telemarketer (we hung up quickly); 1 minute, 32 seconds from the above landscaper leaving us a voice mail; 6 seconds from another telemarketer; 42 second from me to my wife telling her that my deadline work was wrapping and that I would be home soon; and 1 minute, 7 seconds from our next-door neighbor asking if we wanted a soaker hose she no longer needed. We missed one call – from the Puget Sound Blood Center asking me to donate blood. I’m pretty sure most of the calls made in this country are like that. Critics are upset, but it should be obvious that past methods no longer work to unearth terrorists who can be deadly when they strike. Remember Boston? The key, then, is having controls on how the government uses the information. That appears to be the case. Key members of Congress are aware of the program and it takes a federal judge to approve a request. Should there be more steps? Maybe. But we need modern tools in these times of modern warfare. Defending our country is still a primary function of government. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Reporter’s Notebook
Bikes need to follow the rules
I
realize biking to and from work has great benefits – most notably for the environment and personal health. In fact, many cities, including Issaquah and Bellevue, recently celebrated “Bike to Work Day” to honor the alternative form of transportation. I applaud those who go out of the way to protect the environment, save on gas and Kevin Endejan promote a healthy lifestyle – whether it’s just for the one day a year or on a daily basis. But, I have one simple request – if you’re going to do it, please follow the rules of the road. As a frequent automobile user on the Eastside – from Bothell to Bellevue and Sammamish to Redmond – I often encounter the two-wheeled variety of transportation. Many times those bicyclists abide by the rules. But more often than not, I see a variety of fancy maneuvers, that, if a car were to perform and a police
officer was in the area, would result in an immediate ticket. Just the other day, on a back road from Bothell to Woodinville, there was a bicyclist coming down a hill on a side road. He was going a good 25 mph, showed no indication of slowing for the stop sign in front of him, and cut directly in front of me. There was absolutely nothing safe or sensible about his action. I could easily keep a tally of riders who ride on the road, cut to the sidewalk when it gives them an advantage, and jump back to the road. Then there’s those, who when approaching a stop light, maneuver their way through a line of vehicles to the front of the line. Suddenly, they’re not only impeding the flow of traffic for a couple of vehicles, but a whole line of cars. The most frustrating offender – the bicyclist who sees there is no traffic coming from the left or right and completely blows the red light. It seems many bike riders follow the rules when it suits them, but don’t hesitate to break them when given an opportunity. You can’t have it both ways. Let’s not forget about sensibility. While many times a bicyclist might
follow the rules, they don’t put themselves in the safest situation. Like it or not, cars take up more space and weigh thousands of pounds. The unfortunate truth is, the automobile will win in a collision. There’s one particular road close to my home on 112th Place Northeast in Bothell. It’s a windy, tight road with no shoulder – really there’s barely enough space for two cars going in opposite directions to squeeze past one another. Despite this, I frequently see bicyclists, sometimes in packs, making their way up the low-visibility hill. Sure it’s the responsibility of vehicles to watch out for bikes and to allow them room. But let’s be honest, this doesn’t always happen like it should. The most frustrating part of this particular situation is there’s a road just a short distance away that goes up the hill and has bike lanes. I respect the effort bicyclists make, regardless of the motivation. But please, do everyone a favor and follow the rules. It will make us all safer in the end.

Immigration reform needed
T
he proposed immigration reform bill on its way to the Senate floor would fix our current, broken immigration system. The “Gang of 8” proposal provides a tough but effective path to citizenship for people who are already a part of our community. This reform is good for the economy, and good for families. The reform bill advocates a merit-based point system that encourages educated, skilled, and entrepreneurial talent to come to America, a boon to business. This legislation would also give points to those who can demonstrate family ties, such as brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, reuniting families. Our current complex and convoluted immigration laws forces many of the Karol Brown best and brightest talent from around the world to leave the U.S. and start companies abroad. The current U.S. immigration system intentionally separates husbands from wives, parents from children, brothers from sisters, for years, even when all involved obey the law. And people from China, India, Mexico, or the Philippines must wait even longer, in some cases more than 20 years, for permission to enter the country. Some argue that foreign workers in H-1B visa status, or the millions of undocumented workers living here, steal our jobs and deny opportunities to Americans. The proposed bill provides for enforceable protections for labor, while encouraging investment and innovation in America that will boost our economy. One UCLA economic study found that comprehensive immigration reform would generate $1,500,000,000,000 (that’s 1.5 trillion dollars) to the US economy over ten years. Salaries would rise, tax revenue would increase, and the federal deficit would decline, a win-win solution for all concerned. That’s why the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO and other labor unions, religious communities, and numerous other groups applaud this reform effort. Congress needs to pass comprehensive immigration reform that meets the needs of our economy and our families. When we treasure the rich diversity that skilled workers and family immigrants bring to our country, the United States can become both more prosperous and more humane. Karol Brown is an immigration attorney in Bellevue. She holds a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Harvard University and a law degree from Yale Law School.

He sees nuuthing... It seems we have a new Sgt. Schultz (“Hogan’s Heroes”) in our president. To hear President Obama tell it, he was not aware of any of the bad things that have been done by his administration. In fact, he claims he finds things out on news programs just like the rest of us. Yup! Just like Sgt. Schultz: “I see nuuuthing, I hear nuuuthing, I know nuuuthing” !

Ethics policy needs clarity I found the Bellevue City Council's recent discussion on an ethics policy to be perplexing. While the policy statements were certainly laudable and fairly inclusive, a majority of the council objected to including specifics in the enforcement (prohibited) section of the document. (I believe the legal counsel referred to it as section 0.30) The purported reason was that they had stated all that in the policies and that should be sufficient. They also promised to recuse themselves if "they" felt that they may have a conflict of interest on an issue. It was implied that this current council is above reproach and that "We know we can all be trusted." While I concur with that sentiment and don't wish to cast aspersions, in the current climate of public distrust of government and its officials, it's best to opt for legal clarity. They should not be reluctant to put the force of law behind statements of good intentions as many other cities in the area have. I would hope that in the future this council will choose to correct this shortcoming and create a better guideline for present and future councils.

Americans and enslaving people from Africa. It does not surprise me that people who are willing to disclose violations on the part of the government have a lot of support. Congress is and always has been an instrument of those who fund it. After giving it much thought I wonder does the world really needs billionaires? When you look at history the greatest discoveries and contributions to civilization were made by dedicated people wanting to improve lives. All the corruption from the dawn of history has been because man seeks power with which to dominate others. I think young people like Bradley Manning and now Edward have had enough of the lies and violations of common decency, which is so prevalent in today's world. I am glad that Europe is demanding an explanation of what the U.S. has been doing. It is the price the country must pay for ignoring President Eisenhower's warning about the Military Industrial complex. This country, like many others, needs to move away from the past and into a future where there is great respect for earth and those who inhabit it.

BRIDLE TRAILS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
trail in the park. There are, from our perspective, a lot of downsides.” In 2002, the state threatened to shut Bridle Trails because of funding shortages. Bridle Trails Parks Foundation, a nonprofit, that year entered a 40-year contract with Washington State Parks to provide half of operating costs, which Hite says has been successfully met so far. But despite early assessments in 2010, it was not until fall of last year that Hite first learned of Bellevue’s expansion plans. Pike’s Peak is preferred largely for its higher elevation and what upfront, appears to be a cheaper cost. Sites at Meydenbauer and Kirkland Watershed Park were ruled out early on, but after the community raised concerns, the city vowed to expand the search to include private lands. The city of Bellevue has promised to revisit site options, though Hite and other residents are skeptical that it is truly a return to the drawing boards.
www.bellevuereporter.com An early timeline for the project had hoped to have a site selected by the end of the year. Paul Bucich of the city of Bellevue says it now hopes to present site recommendations to the council, in February or March of next year. To move forward with construction in Bridle Trails, Bellevue would have to negotiate contract or lease agreements with the state. Permitting would also be controlled by King County, an added price tag that wasn’t present in the cost analysis, says Hite. “My personal take on this is that they’re having to build this water tower to support additional high-rise construction and development in downtown Bellevue and they’re building to support redevelopment of the Bel-Red corridor,” says Hite. “…We shouldn’t be taking park lands, which are already a scarce resource, just because it’s the cheapest way out.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290 ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com
Resident wakes, escapes Newcastle fire ning and the Bellevue Fire Department had arrived on scene and extinguished the blaze less than 20 minutes later. The cause of the fire, which did an estimated $200,000 in damage, remains under investigation. None of the four people who live in the home nor any of the firefighters from responding units were injured. The Bellevue Fire Department urges all homeowners to check batteries in smoke detectors at least every six months to ensure they are in proper working order.
New car sales account for a significant chunk of Bellevue’s tax base and city officials are working to retain dealerships threatened with displacement by transportation projects, high land costs and other factors. City Councilmembers on Monday, June 10 heard the results of a 60,000-mile check-up on the city’s auto retail sector, including the first part of a market study by a consulting firm. In 2012, new car dealerships contributed more than $6.4 million in city sales tax revenue. This represents about 14 percent of Bellevue’s total sales tax revenue. Displacement threats to dealerships include city roadway expansion projects and future construction of the East Link light rail line. Redevelopment of areas zoned to accommodate car dealerships and high land prices also are contributing to the squeeze. The market study, commissioned by the city, noted industry trends toward more “urban” dealerships with multi-story buildings, rather than single-story buildings and adjacent parking lots. Some car dealers interviewed for the study were concerned about the availability of land zoned for dealerships and were interested in a longterm plan to address the changing needs of the city’s auto retailers. Bellevue staff will continue to work with at-risk dealerships with a goal of retaining them in Bellevue at different locations. At a policy level, the council may consider whether to expand the supply of land zoned for dealerships, and whether such an expansion can be accommodated as part the city’s broader community development vision.

Councilmembers on Monday narrowed to six the number of executive search firms they will interview before hiring one of them to help search for a new city manager. Former City Manager Steve Sarkozy resigned on May 15 after 12 years at the helm. Brad Miyake, former deputy city manager, is serving as the interim city manager. Based on information provided by the 10 firms that responded to a request for proposals, the city manager search is expected to take 90 to 120 days to complete, and cost in the range of $22,000 to $29,000. The council’s goal is to hire a new city manager by the end of October. Mayor Conrad Lee proclaimed June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. If someone suspects an older or disabled adult is being abused, neglected, or exploited, they should immediately call the state protective services hotline at 1-866-363-4276.

Work continues on updating the city’s comprehensive plan, which spells out the community’s vision for Bellevue’s future. On Monday the council approved a game plan for how to go about completing the task, including a set of principles, work program, community engagement plan and a process for updating subarea plans. The comprehensive plan, last updated in 2004, sets policy that will direct city actions on a wide range of topics, such as land use, human services, housing, transportation, parks and economic development. Work to update the current plan began in 2012 and will wrap up in 2014.

Make-A-Wish helps teen's driving dream come true BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
Lauren Smith was leading a pretty normal life in 2010 – until she woke up one morning and didn't feel 100 percent. "She went to bed feeling a little crummy and woke up with these spots on her arms," said Lauren's dad, Martin. In the following months, those spots, which turned out to be caused by a strain of Meningococcal Septicemia, took over Lauren's body. In the three years since, the disease took her arms and legs. But for the 18-year old Seattle resident, who recently graduated from Garfield High School, there was one big thing she wouldn't let the disease take: her independence. That's why, in 2012, Lauren made a wish to learn to drive again. On Saturday, June 1, it came true when when Make-A-Wish invited Lauren and her family to the Hyatt Regency Bellevue and presented her with a 2012 Cadillac SRX.The event included a makeover from Sephora and dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy. To Lauren, driving means freedom, "something I really enjoyed doing," she said. But Lauren's journey to the open highway wasn't an easy one. In fact, when she first decided she wanted to get behind the wheel, her parents were skeptical. "We didn't know [if she'd be able to drive]," Martin said. "But we were hopeful."

tions to Lauren's car so she can operate it independently. This included installing a post style steering device on her steering wheel so she can turn the wheel, a removable leg rest support for her to easily navigate her foot from the gas to brake pedal and a voice command for her turn signals and windshield wipers. The company also modified her driver’s door window switches so she can easily access them with her prosthetic hand. Lauren also had to relearn to drive – with prosthetic legs and arms – via hours of classes with driving coach, Mark Russell. While it was tough-going at times, Russell said Lauren exceeded his expectations. "Lauren is an amazing young woman," Russell said. "With an amazing mindset and skill set." Tim Gifford, service manager for Absolute Mobility, feels the same way. "Whenever I think about complaining about my day, I think about her," he said. With the freedom of the open road in front of her, Lauren's already got a number of things she's excited to do, including driving to the University of Washington where she's taking German and chemistry. She also wants to take her first big road trip. "I think I want to go to Portland," Smith said. Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602 kprosser@bellevuereporter.com
PSE power plant at Snoqualmie Falls back in operation One of the Pacific Northwest’s oldest power plants, the historic Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project, is once again producing electricity for local homes and businesses following a three-year, top-to-bottom overhaul. Puget Sound Energy’s 102-year-old Plant 2 powerhouse at Snoqualmie Falls was idled in June 2010. Located about a quarter mile downstream from the falls, the plant underwent near-total reconstruction under a new, 40-year federal operating license. The energy site’s Plant 1 powerhouse – just upstream from the falls in a bedrock cavity almost 270 feet underground – also is getting a comprehensive makeover. Built in 1898-99, the elder powerhouse is scheduled to resume electric generation in July. “The Snoqualmie Falls project was an engineering marvel when built in the late 19th century,” said Paul Wiegand, PSE senior vice president of Energy Operations. “The redevelopment of its backbone infrastructure truly marks the renewal of a renewable resource for our customers and
our region.” Once Plant 1 comes online this summer, Snoqualmie Falls’ generating capacity will be 54 megawatts, compared to about 44 MW previously. The increased output, enough to serve about 40,000 homes, is being achieved through greater plant efficiencies; no additional water will run through the project’s seven turbines. Besides the upgrades to Snoqualmie Falls’ power-generating infrastructure, PSE is nearing completion of major improvements to Snoqualmie Falls Park, including a new visitor center that will showcase historical artifacts, documents and photos, and interpretive displays. A celebration of the energy facility’s redevelopment is planned for late summer. Key upgrades made at Plant 2 include: A new steel and concrete intake structure along the river’s edge for channeling water into a 1,215-foot-long underground tunnel that runs beneath the Salish Lodge and the upper portion of Snoqualmie Falls Park;
Relining of the 12-foot-diameter, underground tunnel; A new Gate House that controls water flow from the tunnel to large, above-ground pipes, or “penstocks,” which carry the water more than 1,100 feet down a steep hillside to the Plant 2 powerhouse; One new, 7-foot-diameter penstock and one upgraded penstock for delivering water to Plant 2; A completely rebuilt powerhouse building, reflecting the original structure’s design; A new, 13.7-megawatt turbine-generator, replacing the plant’s original, 1910 turbine (the plant’s 1957-vintage, 26.5-MW turbine-generator remains in use); and A new bypass flow-control system, housed inside the new powerhouse, for ensuring public safety and maintaining consistent downstream flows for fish if an emergency shutdown of power generation were to occur. You can find more information about the redevelopment effort, including fact sheets, recent photos and video, on PSE.com.

Still Life
Time to get a move on
I
need to find my inner Energizer bunny soon. I just read “Move a Little, Lose a Lot,” a book by James A. Levine, M.D., which says, in so many words, “Sitting is the new smoking.” I went for the book after reading an article in a recent issue of “The New Yorker,” for which Levine’s work was the inspiration. Sitting is a topic on my mind these days, because, well, I do it a lot. Levine says, “Today our bodies are breaking down from obesity, cancer, depression, and the cascade of health ills…that come from what scientists such as myself have named sitting disease.” Levine’s work focuses on “the calories you burn while living your life,” as Ann Oxrieder opposed to those you burn in a physical workout. He has no complaint about exercise for the sake of fitness, unless we follow up our workouts with long periods of sitting. The obvious culprits that keep us from burning calories while going about the business of living include cars, computers, televisions and video games. Jobs that keep us seated for long periods, hectic schedules that cause us to eat at our desks, remote controls, electric toothbrushes, key finders, home grocery delivery and electric screwdrivers also slow down our calorie burning engines. No surprise, since many devices we use every day were designed to “save labor.” We
burn fewer calories daily than did our ancestors even 50 years ago and they burned fewer than their forebearers. What can we do to carry out Levine’s maxim of “better to live on your feet than die on your seat”? I don’t know anyone who wants to give up his computer. But we can stand up often. Levin says we burn three times as many calories getting up from a seated position than we do while we’re in the chair. Other small calorie burners include sweeping the floor, folding laundry, walking the dog and watering the garden. Levine says walking as a normal routine is the number one way to overcome the negative effects of sitting. We can begin by walking around our yards, to the store, to a bus stop, walk while we’re on the phone, leave our cubicles to talk to a colleague at work, or walk across the street to talk to a neighbor. His research shows that small changes eventually lead to big results. I’ve started taking sitting breaks by weeding, ironing and moving around the house more. I’m testing out another new routine: 30 minutes cleaning and organizing drawers, bookcases, closets, shelves. The possibilities for getting exercise in a cluttered house are endless.
City seeks residents for new light rail advisory group

Eastside Story
What’s happening in nearby cities Snoqualmie: Paul Graham, an off-duty Snoqualmie Police Sgt., was recently recognized for his heroic efforts on Dec. 19, 2009 where he saved the life of North Bend resident Rachel McNaul. She was struck head-on by a drunk driver on I-90. Graham, who always keeps a medical kit in his pickup, ran down I-90 and helped the state patrol officer who was doing triage. Graham’s efforts are credited with saving McNaul’s life. Bothell: Main Street Property Group LLC recently broke ground for the construction of Six Oaks, a mixed-use 203-unit apartment building in downtown Bothell. This project is a part of the Downtown Revitalization Plan created by the city of Bothell. The five story apartment building will offer 6,300 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.

Redmond: According to a new U.S. Census Bureau report, Microsoft Corp. and other major employers are the main reason why Redmond’s population rises from 52,124 to 110,195 during daytime business hours. That’s a 111.4 percent hike in population due to commuting workers. Redmond is top on the list in the U.S. for cities with a population of 50,000 or more. Rounding out the top five are Greenville, S.C. (97.9 percent boost), Alpharetta, Ga. (85.2), Palo Alto, Calif. (82.5) and Salt Lake City, Utah (80.0). The U.S. Census Bureau
Kirkland: During a recent phone survey from the city of Kirkland, 69 percent of 407 residents opposed the ban of plastic shopping bags, while 90 percent favored encouraging citizens to voluntarily reduce their bag use instead. In March, the Kirkland City Council directed city staff to hold a complete study on whether Kirkland should or should not be a candidate for taking action on either banning or charging for plastic bags. Issaquah: The closed portion of the East Lake Sammamish Trail in Issaquah reopened to bicyclists, runners and other trail users June 12. King County and Issaquah officials cut a ribbon to reopen the newly-developed trail segment — a 2.2-mile-long section from Southeast 43rd Way to Northwest Gilman Boulevard. The trail follows a historic railroad route along the eastern shore of Lake Sammamish and connects Issaquah, Sammamish and Redmond. Mercer Island: Mercer Island Mayor Bruce Bassett, Councilmember Mike Grady and the deputy city manager met with federal officials this week in Washington, D.C., to discuss the legal and policy concerns regarding I-90 tolling. The Federal Highway Administration provided assurances that they are well aware of the issues that the city has raised, have not made any decisions about I-90, will complete an objective legal review of the state’s proposal, and will provide oversight to the state’s EIS process.
Parenting Lifeline
Kids and alcohol: what you can do
E
very two years in local schools, students complete the state Healthy Youth Survey. Youth report on aspects of their physical and emotional well-being, which helps school and government officials and agencies like YES stay in tune with what’s happening in their lives. The 2012 survey revealed troubling responses regarding alcohol use locally. Among Eastside 12th graders: ■ 30 percent identified as heavy or problem Patti Skeltondrinkers (defined in the McGougan survey as drinking three to six times per week) ■ Nearly 41 percent reported drinking alcohol during the 30 days prior to taking the survey ■ One in four had been binge drinking the two weeks before As Washington’s communities transition from limited days and hours for sales to 24/7 access to hard spirits in an increased number of stores, parental vigilance becomes even more critical – and complicated. Several new bills signed by the governor earlier this month expand access to alcohol even more. Effective July 28, movie theaters may sell beer, wine and spirits, and businesses that sell hard
liquor will be allowed to offer on-site samples. Wine and beer sampling will also be allowed at farmers markets. Of course, alcohol use among teens in our community is nothing new. Group sessions at Youth Eastside Services remain filled with young people who talk about their struggles, and our drug and alcohol counselors see hundreds of individual clients each week. Certain downsides of increased access are clear. Thefts have gone up significantly since hard liquor became available in grocery, drug and convenience stores. This is reflected in what we’re hearing at YES. Easier access offers both a challenge and an opportunity for parents. Communication using open-ended questions is a useful skill for any issue. For example, you could share this article with your teen, then walk through a few scenarios, asking, “What would do if …” ■ A beer gets passed down the row of your friends at a movie ■ At a party, your friend brags that she brought liquor “minis” that she shoplifted from the drug store ■ A farmers market vendor assumes you and your friends are over 21 and invites you to sample wine These “what if” conversations allow teens “cover,” since they are responding to a hypothetical situation rather than being asked to incriminate a friend – or themselves. I also urge every concerned citizen – parent or not – to report inappropriate action. If you suspect minors are being served or are sneaking alcohol at a store, the movies or farmers market, let the manager know immediately. Businesses want to follow the state’s new laws and can’t be everywhere in their establishment as we adjust to the new realities.

It’s All About
SERVICE
Fast. Professional. Friendly. Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating
Q
“How did Fox Plumbing & Heating get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installaQ “What tion?” :
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, provid-
ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964 you offer any products that could help my water supply be more efficient, Q “Do or save me money?” :
A
: First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tankless system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time. It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. The benefits of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tankless hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service. He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years. - Tom Nesbit, Kirkland.

Bellevue neighborhoods finding connections in ‘third places’ BY CELINA KAREIVA
LEARN MORE
BELLEVUE REPORTER
When Crossroads Community P-Patch opened in 2009 in a space the shopping center couldn't develop, it quickly became a draw for the neighborhood. Residents planted the space with tomatoes, green beans and lettuce. “It's amazing how much you can grow in a place that's five or six feet wide and 20 feet long,” said Ron Sher manager of the shopping center, back when the project first launched. The Crossroad's P-Patch; Bellevue’s summer farmers' market; the Downtown Park. These are Bellevue's “third places,” anchors of community life, separate from work or home that foster social engagement. As Bellevue expands, neighborhood leaders and city officials are hoping to cultivate more of them. “Where can you have a spontaneous meeting, sit down over a cup of coffee and connect?” asks Mike McCormick Huentelman, Bellevue's neighborhood outreach manager. “These are third places. [They can be] libraries, community centers or farmers markets.” The dialogue, though not a new one, has been revisited as Bellevue updates its comprehensive plan, and as neighborhoods like Newport Hills and Lake Hills attempt to revitalize their commercial cores. For a city that has invested much time and money into its downtown skyline, “third places” can seem an abstract idea, but the net benefits are farreaching, making for a more livable city, lower crime rates, even potentially healthier populations, says Milenko Matanovic of Issaquah's Pomegranate Center, which helped organize and construct the Crossroads P-Patch. The city's growing diversity makes the need for such spaces, that much more critical. During neighborhood meetings in South Bel-

A terrazzo at the center of Medina Elementary School, illustrating the Milky Way galaxy.The project, orchestrated by the Pomegranate Center of Issaquah, is an example of how spaces can embody the heart and soul of a community. COURTESY PHOTO, Pomegranate Center levue earlier this year, Huentelman recalls not only the standard concerns about home theft or residential traffic, but also talk of a growing Chinese population and neighbors' efforts to bridge a connection, despite language or cultural barriers. That, he explains, is where third places come into play. “You can't programmatically insert third places into a community, cut and paste and hope it will work,” says Huentelman, “Behind every third place is somebody, or a group of people who've invested heart and soul and
passion.” In Newport Hills, Bill Pace's new farmer's market, operates not only as a fresh grocer, but as a desperately needed space for neighbors to assemble and meet. Heidi Dean, president of the Newport Hills Community Club (NHCC), says that brainstorming sessions with residents and city of Bellevue staff have helped foster ideas. At the back of Pace's market, Dean says a small cafe serves as one example. In May, the community hosted its first Saturday Coffee
Chat. Ideas have circulated of using the walls to showcase local art, donating books, board games and furniture to encourage folks to linger and socialize. “Over the last 25 years, the currency around these issues has risen,” says Matanovic, who grew up in Slovenia, on a continent where every major city had a square, marketplace or soccer field, promoting conviviality and conversation. “Architects and planners now talk about place-making and finding gathering places. We've begun to link the design of neighborhoods to the health of neighborhoods.” On NHCC's facebook page, residents dream big with computer-generated images of a P-Patch in front of what used to be a burger joint. In another image, trees surround a fountain and small plaza. “At the end of the day, the people [of Bellevue] love where they live,” says Huentelman “and they want to connect on a local level.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290 ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com

Blast win title on huge comeback The Bellevue Blast 99 fastpitch softball team faced a daunting challenge in the championship game at the Fife Bash tournament over the weekend before erasing a 10-run deficit to win the title. After winning a pair of games in pool play and finishing 2-0-1, the Blast advanced to the bracket stage where they won their first game over a team from Seattle to advance to the championship. A squad from Montesano led 11-1 heading into the bottom of the fourth inning, leaving Bellevue only three outs to avoid the mercy rule by scoring a run before Gwen Rader knocked in a pair of runs in a three-run fourth that sparked the comeback. While the pitching and defense held Montesano without a run for the game’s

final three innings, the Blast offense lived up to its name by scoring two runs in the fifth and six more in the bottom of the sixth inning to pick up the win. “We keep things pretty upbeat on the team and they just keep having fun,” coach Keith Mange said. “They were all cheering the whole time, just out there having fun.” Taylor Woodey knocked in Taylor Ray for the game winning run in the championship game, while pitcher Erin Lingg won three games over the weekend in the pitcher’s circle with 15 strike outs. Team members are: Abby Pana, Camryn Steiner, Erin Lingg, Grace Kent, Gwen Rader, Haylen Holt, Kayla Henry, Lilly Davidson, Megan Murray, Taylor Ray, Taylor Woodey, Tenley Mange.

The game every prep football fan in Washington wanted to see will happen a year late. Bellevue and Skyline were unable to make a non-conference game happen last year, with both facing out-of-state foes in high profile contests, but will meet in 2013 as the Emerald City Kickoff Classic returns to Seattle after taking place in Cheney last year. The Wolverines and Spartans will meet in the last of four games on Saturday, Sept. 7 at the newly renovated Husky Stadium one week after the Dawgs host Boise State. Bellevue has not lost a game since a 28-21 setback to a Skyline team that featured Parade All-American and current Husky Kasen Williams and has won five consecutive 3A state titles, a first in any class in football. Skyline went 14-0 to capture another 4A crown in 2012, its fourth in the past five seasons, and sent another highlytouted prospect to the Pac-12 in Gatorade National Player of the Year Max Browne.

Lui captures another title Michelle Lui, a junior at Forest Ridge, won her third straight 1B/2B/1A girls tennis state title last week at the Yakima Tennis Center, winning all eight of the sets she played in four matches to move one step closer to becoming the third fouryear champion in 1A state history. Lui, a nationally ranked player in her age group, beat Megan Elliot of Kiona Benton 2-0 (6-0, 6-0) in her first match before taking care of Tracy Melville of Lind-Ritzville Sprague by the same tally in the quarterfinals. Shalyn Goodall of Omak managed to take two games from Lui, but still fell in straight sets (6-1, 6-2) before the two-time defending state champion swept Hayley Newmann of South Whidbey 6-0, 6-0 in the finals.

Former Newport stars Wiper, Tam Sing highlight MLB Draft selections The 2013 MLB Draft took place last week and a pair of former preps, along with a Class of 2013 player, were chosen. 2011 Newport grad Cole Wiper went at pick 310 to the Texas Rangers after a redshirt freshman season at the University of Oregon, where he helped the Ducks to the NCAA Tournament after missing the previous year recovering from an injury. Wiper finished the season for Oregon and coach George Horton with a 2-1 record in seven appearances, includCole Wiper ing three starts. The redshirt freshman worked 12 and two-thirds innings. Another former Knight and current Washington State Cougar, Trace Tam Sing, went to the Kansas City Royals at pick 774. Tam Sing, who was chosen after his senior year at Newport in 2010 in the 22nd round by the Boston Red Sox, spent Trace Tam Sing 2013 with a Washington State team that finished 23-32 overall and 9-21 in Pac-12 play. He can elect to either return to Washington State for the 2014 season and take a chance at being drafted again, or sign with the Royals and begin his professional career. Interlake’s Sam Finfer, a 2013 graduate, went to the Los Angeles Dodgers with pick 874. Finfer was a critical piece of the 2011 and 2012 baseball teams for the Saints, both of which made the Class 2A state tournament. He helped his team to the 3A KingCo Tournament this year and has also signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball and continue his education at Seattle University for coach Donny Harrel and the Redhawks. A total of 34 players who played their high school or college baseball in Washington were selected, led by Kentwood senior catcher Reese McGuire, who was chosen 14th overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates and Marco Gonzales from Gonzaga, a junior pitcher selected 19th by the St. Louis Cardinals.

YES breakfast raises $510,000 for youth A 17-year-old high school senior inspired an audience of nearly 800 people at the annual YES Invest in Youth Breakfast. The student told of living with three foster families between the ages of six and seven, then with an abusive relative for more than nine years before thriving with a fourth foster parent and the programs at Youth Eastside Services. “Without counseling, BGLAD, Camp Mariposa (all through YES), and (the YES) Prevention Group at my school, I don’t know where I would be or even who I would be today,” she told the audience. She was recently named a “Youth of the Year” by a local organization, will graduate in June and has plans to attend college and become a forensics expert. The YES event, at Meydenbauer Center, included keynote speaker Christopher Kennedy Lawford,
actor, author and advocate for recovery, who shared details of a childhood surrounded by Hollywood stars (Marilyn Monroe taught him the twist when he was only six). He openly shared other highs and lows of his childhood, including the tragic assassinations of his uncles, Jack and Bobby, and the death of his best friend and cousin. Lawford is 27 years sober as of last month, and his latest NY Times bestseller, Recover to Live, offers research and resources for a variety of addictions. Guests also heard from a local family who described the difficulties of having a son who became addicted to drugs in ninth grade. “As our family life began to spiral out of control, all our attempts to control his life seemed futile,” said Dianne Spiro. “Our job as his parents was to keep
our child safe and healthy, and we could no longer do that. Our son was screaming for help without saying a word.” The Spiros sought help at YES for assessment and outpatient treatment. They received much more. “YES provides hope, advocacy and a loving and safe environment for families in crisis,” said Bob Spiro. “We are a very different family than when we first walked through the doors in December 2010. We are healthier; we have joy and happiness back in our life.” YES Director Patti Skelton-McGougan told the audience that “we live in an amazing community that stood up and showed they care for youth. With tragedies of the past year, like at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, and the increase in local suicides, it’s gratifying to see this level of support for our young people."

FIRST
Summer vacation is approaching and it’s a great time to encourage your kids to read. Kids who read consistently are less likely to experience the brain dump known as the “Summer Slide.” How do you keep them reading? The simplest answer is this: let them read what they want. Novels, comic books, poetry, audio books, cereal boxes and picture books are all forms of reading. There is a scene that plays out in the library every summer, more times than I

They’ve signed up for summer reading - now what do you do?
There’s nothing wrong with romance novels. They could just as easily be magazines, sci-fi or toll-painting books. The point is, while she’s stacking dusty tomes in front of her children, Mom gets to read what she wants. Any kid will immediately pick up on the unfairness of the situation. Not every book your child reads this summer will be a classic. But a welltimed fart joke in the pages of a book will show them that reading can bring joy for the rest of their lives. The Summer Reading Program officially kicked off June 1. Children and teens can pick up reading logs at any KCLS branch. Check out the prizes at www.kcls.org.

Required Reading

“What kinds of books do you like to read?” I ask, hoping to start some kind of dialogue to recommend appropriate books. On a good day, the kid will perk up and try to answer. “Adventure!” she will say. Or romance. Or, heaven forbid, graphic novels. In that hopeful, suspended moment the teen and I make eye contact and I begin a mental list of books that would be a good fit. Not one of them is a dusty classic. Well-written, yes, but not a classic by mom’s definition. This is the point where a parent interrupts. “I’m tired of you reading that garbage. You need to read something good. A classic.” I don’t gamble much, but I can tell you what the mom is holding in her arms, without even looking. As she is strongarming her child to read “a classic” she’s clutching a tall stack of romance novels.

What’s happening in the world of art
Brazilian tunes on the Eastside
BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound will present their 21st annual showcase June 21-23 at the Coast Bellevue Hotel. The convention, which celebrates the storytelling of the “Golden Age of Radio,” is expected to bring a number of classic radio performers and radio enthusiasts to the Eastside. Last year’s showcase featured performances by Gloria McMillan, Bob Hastings (“McHale’s Navy”), Frank Ferrante (as Groucho), and Bob Hudson (“Little Orphan Annie”). This year’s will feature Stan Freberg and his wife Hunter Freberg. One of the most beloved humorists and satirists, Freberg’s recording work began in the early 50s, with voice work on “John and Marsha,” “Sh-boom,” “The Great Pretender” and Rock Island Live.” Freberg also helped create the Emmy-Award winning TV show “Time for Beany” and helped found the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS). In addition to a handful of returning voice actors, this year’s showcase will also feature performances by Jim French (“Imagination Theatre”), Stuffy Singer (“Jack Benny Show”) and Ivan Cury. As is tradition, the showcase will feature special meals with performers and a book signing with Stan Freberg and Martin Grams for registered guests. The Showcase

of Community Affairs, Mark Dederer. “It is events like this that celebrate arts, education, and students, that bring a special energy to the theater and to the participating schools.” Hanford High School, of Richland, took home top honors at The 11th Annual 5th Avenue Awards, leaving at the end of the night with the award for Outstanding Overall Musical Production for their hit show, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” They also received the award for Outstanding Performance by a Chorus. Tied for receiving the greatest number of awards for the
evening were University High School’s (Spokane) “Urinetown” and Lewis and Clark High School’s (Vancouver, Wash.) “In the Heights,” with three each. Thirteen other high schools received awards. Although no Bellevue schools took home awards, the International School received an Honorable Mention in the Outstanding Choreography for their production of “Meet Me In St. Louis.” International School senior Kristin Ronhovde also received an Honorable Mention nod for her performance as Esther in the same production.
The International Ballet Academy will celebrate an elegant end to the year, with their End of the Year Performance, being held on Saturday, June 15. As part of the festivities the academy will present two performances - at 2 and 5 p.m. - which will include all of the students and allow them the opportunity to perform a repertoire of what they’ve learned in the past year. Tickets for either show can be purchased at www. brownpapertickets.com/event/332670. The performances will be held at Meydenbauer Theatre, 11100 NE 6th Street, Bellevue.

Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Vol. 29,” an anthology of the best science fiction and fantasy writing of the year. Peavey, who received a degree in English from Mount Holyoke College, brings the unique flavor of the west coast, its history and unexplored places, to her writing. The signing will be held Saturday, June 22, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble at the Crossroads Shopping Center; 626 106th Ave NE, Bellevue.
