Both 520 bridge, I-405 to close this weekend Both directions of State Route 520 across Lake Washington and northbound Interstate 405 through Bellevue will close simultaneously during the weekend of July 13-14 for critical inspections, repairs and construction. “The weekend closure of SR 520 bridge and northbound I-405 will significantly affect traffic across the Puget Sound region,” said WSDOT’s Northwest Regional
Administrator Lorena Eng. “We realize that not everyone can completely change their commute. But for those who have a choice, options such as vanpooling, carpooling or other forms of transportation can help avoid heavy congestion.” Drivers should plan for long delays on I-90 near the detour routes, westbound SR 520 approaching I-405, northbound I-405 where all traffic will exit to Southeast
Eighth Street, and I-5 through downtown Seattle. Surface streets in and around Bellevue are expected to experience extra congestion as well. Friday, July 12, northbound I-405 will close at 10 p.m., and both directions of SR 520 will close at 11 p.m. All lanes of both highways will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, July 15. The shutdown is needed for maintenance
and preservation of the two corridors, state officials said. By simultaneously closing both SR 520 and northbound I-405, crews will complete the time-consuming work in a short period, reducing the need for nightly closures over a much longer stretch, officials said, adding that there are a limited number of weekends available in the sumSEE TRAFFIC, 8

Brown. “We enjoy being there. It’s a good thing for the ballet to have a connection with the Eastside. Forty percent of our subscribers live there and over half of our trustees of the ballet live on the Eastside as well.” Brown said that Sound Transit, Pacific Northwest Ballet and the property owner were in talks. One option would shift the center to an adjacent property on the same lot, though
Mei Young, president of Era Young International, a consulting company for foreign investors, recalls one recent client. Having spent $5 million in cash on a home in Vancouver the young Chinese couple decided that they wanted instead to come to Bellevue. “The boyfriend came for one day to look while the [girlfriend] was still in China. She didn’t have to come over. They were looking for a [luxury] house Mei Young to buy, without seeing them,” says Young. “I would personally spend weeks looking, but in this case, this is what they want.” Bellevue’s growing role as a global city is evidenced by the speed at which foreign – in particular Chinese – investors are flocking to the Eastside, purchasing real estate, developing commercial plots and expanding their companies. Though Bellevue has been cultivating relations with Asia for some time, the rate of investment is accelerating, says Young. “Business activity started as a cultural exchange, mostly symbolic,” said Young, who has been in contact with China at a government level for the past 10 years. “It was visiting the Seattle-Bellevue area, for a tour, or the scenery. But the real investment activity started the latter part of last year.” Bellevue’s record sale of a downtown site for $31 million to Chinese investors; stories of real estate being snatched

PNB Bellevue school in Sound Transit path BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
Pacific Northwest Ballet’s (PNB) Francia Russell Center in the Bel-Red area faces potential relocation due to Sound Transit’s East Link alignment along 136th Place Northeast and Northeast 16th Street. D. David Brown, Executive Director of Pacific Northwest Ballet said the issue was first brought to his attention about six weeks ago, when Sound Transit announced design adjustments.
The line, which is supposed to round the corner just east of the academy, could be altered to account for a 20 mph curve or a 30 mph curve. Early designs indicate that the latter of the two would demand full demolition of the center, though that’s preferred by PNB over the 20 mph option, which would displace part of the academy’s parking and require a modification to its entrance. “The ballet, we think, is important to the cultural life of Bellevue,” said

Five bank robberies, including one in Newcastle, under investigation Detectives from the King County Sheriff ’s Office, Seattle PD, and the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force are investigating a series of five armed, take-over-style bank robberies that have occurred within King County since January 2013. The latest robbery took place July 1 at the Newscastle branch of Bank of America. Three of the robberies have occurred in King County jurisdiction and two have occurred in Seattle PD jurisdiction. Detectives are considering the cases as linked at this time and continue to investigate the actual number of suspects involved. The July 1 Bank of America robbery is the first time two suspects have entered a bank together. All prior robberies were committed by a single suspect entering the
banks. The May 22 Washington Federal robbery in Seattle resulted in a suspect firing a gunshot inside the bank. The June 8 Burien Sterling Savings robbery resulted in a bank teller being struck in the face by the suspect. Law enforcement officials say handguns were displayed in all robberies and the suspects have committed the robberies despite several customers and employees being present. Detectives have now released surveillance photos of a suspect vehicle believed to have been used in the February 28 Key Bank robbery. This vehicle is a blue 1983 – 1987 Mercury Marquis without any visible modifications.

Bellevue College now enrolling for job training programs Bellevue College’s Workforce Education division is now enrolling eligible students for fall quarter in professional-technical programs that prepare them for in-demand jobs in the Puget Sound region. Once enrolled, students can pursue a variety of educational options, including short-term certificates and associate degrees, in fields such as business, information technology and healthcare. Dislocated workers and individuals with limited incomes may qualify for scholarships that cover the cost of tuition and fees. “Although the economy is improving,
many people in the region are still looking for work, and we have the resources to help them get back on their feet,” said Darlene Molsen, associate dean of Workforce Education. “There have been some cutbacks to federal job training programs, but we want people to know that support is available at Bellevue College.” For workers who have been displaced from their jobs, BC’s state-funded Worker Retraining program helps individuals update their job skills and return to the workforce. Individuals are eligible if they

EDITOR’S NOTE
Getting away from it all not always easy
I
recently took a one-week vacation. The goal was to "get away from it all." But, as the accompanying photo shows, that isn’t what actually happened. Four of us, myself, my wife, our daughter and son-inlaw, went to Lake Chelan. In all, the four of us brought along one laptop, a Kindle, three tablets, four cell phones, a digital camera, a portable speaker for a Zune and an iPod with a Bose speaker. We could have left most of our electronics at home, but they often are substitutes for what we would do anyway. My Kindle, for example, merely replaced the books I would have brought along with the plus of being a lot less weight in the suitcase. The Craig Groshart iPod lets us have our favorite music with us and the Bose system makes it easy to share nd enjoyable. That said, the other devices were mostly used for playing games and staying in contact with friends. For my part, I probably come by this attachment to modern conveniences naturally. My mother always insisted that "roughing it" on vacation meant putting up with a black-and-white TV. I don't remember us ever camping. Even so, electronics aren't critical for a vacation. While our timeshare had a TV, we didn't watch it much. Instead, we combined to complete a number of jig-saw puzzles – low tech, but still lots of fun.

Reporter’s Notebook
Got to have faith in the M’s
I
’m not a sports writer, which is a good thing, because there are very few team sports I really understand. Football is far too complicated and soccer seems silly. But I do like baseball, probably because I saw my son play t-ball to All-Stars. Although the thick rule book confounded me, I had the gist down, and rooted heartily for his team. Growing up in Alaska, where there is no major professional team of any kind, I really didn’t have anyone to root for in big-time professional sports. We had a great hockey team at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and a minor league Linda Ball baseball team that was pretty good. Now that I live in Seattle, this is the first time I’ve lived where I actually have a team I can root for. So, I have decided to devote my sports fandom to the Seattle Mariners because I like baseball, I like Safeco Field and I love the energy of being at a live baseball game. It thrills me. I don’t go all the time as it’s not in my budget, but when I do go to a game, win or lose, I’m in awe of how very good they all are. If a ball was coming at me at 90 mph, I’d duck! So I get really upset about all the bad-mouthing about the Mariners. Come on people, whatever happened to root, root, root for the home team?

Story encourages begging on streets Regarding the article, “Man finds a life on downtown street”, (June 21,
Support here is imperative. There are some fine players on our home team. This just in: The Seattle Mariners have two of the top starting pitchers in the MLB this season, and they’ll both be able to showcase their talents at the All-Star Game at the New York Mets’ Citi Field July 16. Mariners ace Felix Hernandez was named to his fourth American League All-Star team on Saturday, and fellow right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma was selected as an All-Star for the first time. And how about Monday night’s game against the Red Sox? The Mariner’s crushed them 11-4, and I was whooping in my living room wishing I was there. Raul Ibanez rocks. Not too shabby. The last live game I attended, was a good one. In the eighth inning the other team (I forgot who they were – I’m focused on OUR guys!) tied it up at 3-3. I overheard some guys behind me moaning about how they may as well go home. I turned around and told them to think positive! The game went into extra time – 11 innings, and by golly, we won, 4-3! See? Those same guys then high-fived me! So don’t give up on the Mariners. They’re our team. And I’ll just bet most of you reading this would also duck if a ball was coming at you at 90 mph.

New state teachers’ president sings same song
T
hose quietly hoping a new lead singer would change the sound of the state’s largest union of public school teachers are in for a disappointment. It hasn’t and it won’t. Kim Mead assumed the presidency of the Washington Education Association on July 6, making her the new front woman for an 82,000-person band of classroom teachers, administrative staff and community college instructors On Tuesday, she was belting out many familiar refrains of her predecessor Mary Lindquist when talking about lawmakers’ performance for public schools in the justcompleted marathon session. “They didn’t do their job,” said Mead Jerry Cornfield who took office following nearly 13 years guiding the Everett Education Association. Lawmakers paid scant attention to the two primary concerns of the union, teacher pay and class size. While lawmakers boast of putting an additional $1 billion into public schools, she said, none went toward a cost-of-
living adjustment for teachers which voters endorsed when they passed Initiative 732. She said that means it will be six years without a state-funded COLA. And they put only a small portion of money into reducing the number of students in classes. That’s an authenticated way of improving student achievement, Kim Mead which lawmakers continually insist is their primary goal, she said. “If that hope (for a new tune) was out there they were mistaken,” Mead said. “The person who sits in this seat doesn’t speak for themselves. They speak for the 82,000 members. The last time I looked they’re waiting for a public school system that is not just adequately funded, but amply funded.” Mead, 53, started teaching in the Everett School District in 1985. She stopped being a regular fixture in the classroom in 2000 when she was elected president of the union’s affiliation in Everett. That’s been a full-time, union-paid gig. Everett schools Supt. Gary Cohn heaped high praise on Mead for her “forward-thinking leadership in the work we

government programs (roads, police, courts, public health, parks, libraries, public schools, financial and environmental regulation, etc), the market system couldn't function and our country would resemble a failed state like Somalia. In fact, tax rates are historically lower than at any time in the past 50 years, and Washington state has the most regressive tax system in the nation – meaning that the rich pay a lower percentage of their income in state taxes than in any other state, lower even than the middle class and the poor. One reason is our over-reliance on the sales tax and on the B&O tax (which is based on revenue, not profit). Another reason is the numerous tax breaks that rich corporations such as Boeing and Microsoft enjoy. Who wants increased concentration of wealth, unaffordable college education, congested roads, filthy air, ugly cities, and welfare for the rich? As Thomas Jefferson said, "I hope we shall take warning ... and crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."

That's right, I said it. Many beggars simply find it easier (and in no way shameful) to just bypass the system and take their desire for cash right to the people on our city's streets. This behavior is on the increase, not because poverty is on the increase, but because we as a society are welcoming it. I fear that people who don't follow the news will wrongly conclude that the increase in street corner begging is an indicator that our country's taxpayers are unable or unwilling to help the poor. Please ask yourself: "If I give cash to Dave, will this help him out so he no longer needs to beg, or will this encourage him (and others) to stay on the city streets." Just close your eyes and imagine a "Dave" on every street corner and every freeway exit in your city, then ask yourself "Why did we let this get so out of hand?” The answer is guilt, naiveté and gullibility.

have been doing in Everett.” Now Mead’s talents will be tested as she becomes a key figure in the statewide education debate. Right away, she’ll be in front of the debate about charter schools. Last week, a coalition led by the WEA sued to block the voter-approved law legalizing the publicly funded, alternatively run campuses. “If private enterprises are going to be allowed to run them and receive public money, that’s not fair,” she said. “That’s something we continue to fight for every year.” This fall, the WEA will certainly get involved in trying to elect people to school boards and to a couple of contested legislative seats. When it comes to the Legislature, Mead must adjust from working with a superintendent and five-member school board to dealing with 147 elected officials each convinced they know best how Washington’s public school system should be run. She already knows she will be pressing lawmakers in 2014 to comply with the court mandate to fully fund basic education, which includes teacher pay and smaller class sizes. There will be leaders of other interest groups in the education debate pushing those same lawmakers to enact reforms before spending too much more in those areas. This is not a new fight. So it’s no surprise the WEA’s song will remain the same.

Man pleads guilty in fatal 520 bridge crash The driver who drove the wrong way on the 520 bridge and killed a woman on her way to work in Bellevue has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide. Michael Anthony Robertson made a U-turn while driving eastbound on the bridge on April 4 and smashed into a vehicle driven by Morgan Williams, 58, of Seattle. Williams was headed to work at Eddie Bauer. The accident occurred at about 5:30 a.m. He collided with Williams near the Montlake on-ramp. Williams later died at Harborview Medical Center. According to police, an empty bottle of whiskey was found in in Robertson’s Ford Explorer SUV. He was awaiting trial on another DUI charge in Pierce County at the time of the crash. Robertson will be sentenced July 26. Prosecutors will recommend a top of the range sentence of 126 months in prison.

Bellevue, Newcastle seek county fields grants Bellevue and Newcastle are seeking funds from King County as part of the Youth Sports Facilities grants program. Bellevue has requested $75,000 for both the fieldhouse and ballfield at its Hidden Valley complex. Newcastle is seeking $75,000 for its Little Rhody Park Playground and Court. In all, King County Parks has received 19 applications for money to renovate or build public sports facilities across the county. Total requests are nearly $1.3 million. The county has a budget of $500,000. Organizations that receive an award must match the grant money.
We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.
Meydenbauer Beach Park reopens Bellevue reopened swimming at Meydenbauer Beach Park on July 3 after it was temporarily closed a day earlier due to high fecal bacteria levels in the water. All other Bellevue beaches had tested within a normal range. The source of bacteria remains unknown, but a sewer line has been checked and no leaks have been detected. The city will continue to test and monitor the water. Swimming in locations with high levels of bacteria presents a health risk, though fecal bacteria does not always belong to humans. Geese, gulls and ducks are also sources of the pollution. High levels also could be an indicator of a failing septic system, sewage overflows or the inadequate treatment of municipal waste.

INVESTORS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 for lump sums of cash and a bilingual site launched by the city of Bellevue last year all suggest the changing business climate. Young points also to a pipeline of 20 projects downtown, spearheaded largely by Chinese investors. One client she says hopes to buy the commercial zoning along light rail and Bel-Red Road. A several decades-long development that could reach from 120th to 140th, he has plans also to build residential neighborhoods catering to Chinese nationals. In Newcastle a 125-unit Asian retirement community expected to break ground in 2014, is also indicative of demand. “What we’re also seeing [is] more corporations, much larger and well organized corporations coming over and looking at investing in our properties,” says Tom Chang, director of the Pacific Northwest region for East West Bank, one of the largest independent banks focusing on U.S. and China markets, with two branches in Bellevue. Bellevue’s obvious role as a tech hub and a platform for prominent Asian-American figures like Mayor Conrad Lee offer one reason for the attraction. But other factors, like the Eastside’s low crime rate, top-ranked schools and recovering economy also contribute. China’s own real estate value has risen as financial policy tightens, and many want a safe place to invest their fortunes. “The diversity is another [reason]. We know close to 30 percent of the population in Bellevue is Asian. You want to go where you belong,” says Young. “[The Eastside] they can see as their home.” The surge in investors and new neighbors has led to industry offshoots. A certified real estate agent, Young says Chinese nationals often look for homes with positive feng shui, which may mean a second kitchen (one for deep frying and stir frying, another for aesthetic purposes), views of the water and mountains. And quite a few are paying for those luxury homes with cash. “I understand where the concern is coming from,” admits Young. “When cash buyers move to the region, they create competition in the market.”
Chinese nationals paying in cash easily beat out other bidders who have to apply for mortgages. Concerned residents note that these purchases often operate as secondary homes, threatening to turn some pockets of Bellevue into “zombie neighborhoods” with absentee homeowners. But Young is quick to point out the silver-lining. Whereas Vancouver, British Columbia, and San Francisco used to be magnets for Asian investors, now Bellevue has become a destination, a financial boost the Eastside should welcome, says Young. Fifty percent of the real estate recovery on the Eastside is due to cash buyers. And, she adds, when Chinese travel they spend an average of $6,000 per person, the highest of any nationality while abroad. “To speak frankly,” says Young. “When a visitor comes over now, we take them straight to Bellevue and the Eastside to look at the projects here.” Chinese policy limits the wiring of more than $50,000 by individuals out of the country, annually. That can make investing in places like Bellevue difficult. But where there is a will, there is a way. East West Bank offers services catered specifically to foreigners, featuring for instance offshore collatoral loan programs, with platforms in both the U.S. and China. Investor visas offer another conduit. “Personal relationships are very important in the [Chinese] business community,” says Young from an outpost in China where she is on a three-week-long business trip. “I could probably talk to [my clients] over the phone…But I think it’s important to be there with them and to go visit their project and sit down with them for dinner…that’s important to attract Chinese investors.” Being able to anticipate the needs and questions of investors – ranging from how to file taxes, to how to form an LLC – is equally critical. She adds: “This time next year, we will see a lot of Chinese nationals with a lot of cash and financial product. They’re coming this way.”

panels in the two left lanes between SE Eighth and Main streets, the length of a dozen football fields. Later this summer they will replace panels in the two right lanes. They will also grind the concrete on certain sections of I-405. When the project is complete this fall, drivers will experience a smoother ride with improved traction. On SR 520, bridge maintenance crews will inspect the floating bridge. The annual inspection, which includes testing, maintenance and repairs, must occur during calm weather. Eastside Transit and HOV Project construction crews will take advantage of the closure to install an 11-foot-in-diameter fish-friendly culvert — the project’s largest and deepest to date — beneath all lanes of SR 520 east of 108th Avenue NE.

It must be carefully coordinated with other regional construction projects and avoid weekends such as Seafair, the Bite of Seattle and Bellevue Arts Festival.” On I-405, crews will replace the 50-year-old concrete

Caring Hearts event will introduce the mission of Eastside Friends of Seniors Overlake Terrace will provide drinks and light refreshments for an informational Caring Hearts event in July to introduce the free services provided by the volunteers from Eastside Friends of Seniors. The event will be from 5:30-7 p.m. July 16 at the retirement community, 2956 152nd Ave. NE in Redmond. There will not be a request for financial donations during the short presentation. Eastside Friends of Seniors was founded in 1997 to enhance the lives of independent seniors living in Issaquah and on the Sammamish Plateau. The organization grew to offer its free services to seniors in the Snoqualmie Valley and expanded into Bellevue last year. There is no cost to attend the event and no financial requirements to receive the free assistance from the non-profit organization. Volunteers from Eastside Friends provide rides to and from medical appointments, help seniors with shopping, housework and routine home maintenance. “Our goal is to allow seniors to remain independent and live in their own homes for as long as they want to [be] there,” said Tracy Fitzsimmons, board president. “After all, that’s where they really want to be in most cases.” There are always more requests for assistance than available volunteers, according to Executive Director Claire Petersky. She emphasized the Caring Heart event is open to all potential volunteers, seniors and anybody in the community who wants to get involved. A Second Annual Gathering for Seniors to support the work of Eastside Friends of Seniors has been scheduled for noon on Friday, Oct. 11 at the Bellevue Hilton. Information on the organization and both events is available at eastsidefriendsofseniors.org or by calling 425-369.9120.
Food truck showdown coming to Crossroads A food truck showdown will come to Crossroads from 4-7 p.m. July 23 when seven of the area's hottest street vendors join the Crossroads Farmers Market's weekly lineup of over three dozen local farmers and food vendors.

To Your Health
Pale skin healthier than burned
W
ith summer in the Pacific Northwest come longer, warmer days when many sun-starved men, women and children take to the outdoors for boating, hiking, walking, biking or working in the garden. But we’re not always as diligent as we should be about applying sunblock and, unfortunately, that “healthy glow” we get from being in the sun too long can result in more freckles and premature aging. Tanning and sunburns cause the skin to lose elasticity and wrinkle prematurely. Also, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer. One blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, later in life, according to the Skin Janie Leonhardt Cancer Foundation.Getting sunburned is more common than it should be – 42 percent of people polled reported experiencing sunburn at least once a year, the foundation reports. Protecting ourselves from exposure to the sun’s UV radiation is the most important thing we should do to maintain healthy skin year-round. Every day, we should wear a sun block with an SPF of 30 or greater on our face, ears, neck and forearms. UV rays can be harmful even on cloudy days when 70-80 percent of ultraviolet radiation is still penetrating through cloudy skies. Make sure the sun protection you choose provides adequate protection against ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B
rays. You’ll know you have the right product if it is a broadspectrum sunblock, such as those containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Other tips for keeping your skin healthy and youthful this summer: ■ Apply sun protection 30 minutes prior to exposure and reapply after water exposure or every three to four hours. ■ Avoid exposure to the midday sun when possible. ■ Wear sun-protective clothing like broad-rim hats and full-length shirts and pants (with adequate ultraviolet protective factor – or UPF) when enjoying outdoor activities. ■ Schedule an annual full-body skin examination by a dermatologist. ■ Perform monthly self-skin exams. If you notice spots growing or changing in color or size, or a spot that doesn’t seem to fit in with other spots, then arrange for an evaluation by a dermatologist. In addition to increasing the risk for skin cancer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports that unprotected exposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause irreversible eye damage, allergic reactions and suppression of the body’s immune system that can leave you more vulnerable to diseases like skin cancer. There is really no safe tan. If you want to look tanned, consider using a temporary bronzer or self-tanning lotion. These products can give you the desired look without the damage.
Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue is now the only hospital in King County offering bronchial thermoplasty to patients suffering from severe asthma.The procedure gives people a non-medicated, proven way to control their asthma symptoms, resulting in 32 percent fewer severe asthma attacks. Bronchial thermoplasty is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure in which a thin fiber optic tube is passed through the mouth of the patient and into the airway. Using the tube, doctors are able to deliver precisely-controlled heat to the airway wall, which reduces any excessive smooth muscle around the airway. By reducing this excess smooth muscle, the ability of the airway to constrict is diminished, significantly decreases the likelihood of an asthma attack. “This is a novel approach to the treatment of asthma that does not use medications to control this debilitating disease,” said Dr. Amy Markezich, the associate medical director of the Pulmonary Division at Overlake Medical Clinics. According to the Washington State Department of Health more than half a million people in Washington state have asthma and approximately 5,000 people are hospitalized every year. Bronchial thermoplasty has been shown to not only result in 32 percent fewer severe asthma attacks but also 84 percent fewer emergency room visits and 66 percent fewer lost days from work, school and other activities due to asthma. “Patients 18 or older who have persistent asthma and who are still getting exacerbations despite using inhaled controller medications are candidates for bronchial thermoplasty,” Dr. Markezich said.

Bellevue women settle allegations of roughly $4,000 in Medicaid theft
The Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) has entered into diversion agreements with two defendants in connection with falsifying timesheets as paid caregivers under the Medicaid program. The two Bellevue women, Nelya Simora and Galina Yablonskaya, each in separate instances, recorded in-home care hours for work not performed, resulting in payment of roughly $4,000 in Medicaid funds to which they were not entitled – $2,014.30 and $2,007.90, respectively. Each charged with one count of Second Degree Theft and two counts of Medicaid False Statement, Simora and Yablonskaya agreed to full restitution and 40 hours of community service.If they comply with their obligations within two years, the charges will be dismissed. The case was referred to the Office of the Attorney General by the Department of Social and Health Services Office of Program Integrity – a division of the Economic Services Administration. The Washington State Medicaid Fraud Control Unit investigates and prosecutes fraud by health care providers.

Fans had the chance to meet with the South African model between 5 and 7 p.m., when she posed for pictures and signed autographs. Bellevue won the visit because of its high volume of tweets in a contest earlier this year. Makeovers, a live DJ and other giveaways rounded out the visit. The day of Swanepoel’s visit, Twitter quickly erupted with photos and messages about the supermodel. Other stops along the summer tour include Milwaukee and Orlando. CELINA

Library Connection at Crossroads to close for renovations
Clothing bin to seek donations for Northwest Center
A Northwest Center clothing donation bin has been placed on site at the Newport Yacht Basin, and is accepting donations of re-usable clothing, linens and other cloth based items with proceeds benefitting Northwest Center. The bin is located at 3911 Lake Washington Boulevard in Bellevue. Proceeds from donations collected at bins are used to fund the wide range of services provided by Northwest Center. Donations are tax deductible, and tax receipts are available online at bigbluetruck.org or at host sites. Northwest Center serves people with developmental disabilities through childhood education, early intervention, employment services, and jobs.
BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Library Connection at Crossroads will close temporarily beginning July 22 for interior improvements. The renovation, being led by library architect David Scott Risner, is expected to last eight weeks, with a planned opening in the fall. Opened in 2002, the Library Connection at Crossroads has the highest circulation per square foot of any branch in Bellevue, including the main location at 1111 110th Ave. NE. Rebecca Tuck, managing librarian at the Bellevue Library, said the Crossroads location circulates approximately 571,000 items annually. The renovation of the Crossroads location comes on the heels of the completion of a new parking garage at the downtown location. Improvements being made at Crossroads over the next several weeks are to include new paint, furniture and carpet. The renovated location also will feature a new Automated Materials Handling Machine, which will allow patrons to return materials to the location 24 hours a day. "It gets materials to the shelfs a lot faster," Tuck said. "And it helps us keep up with the increased demand." Patrons are encouraged to visit other KCLS locations including the Lake Hills Library at 15590 Lake Hills Boulevard, during the closure. To learn more, visit www.

Road less travelled taking BC star north Classroom trouble taught Marcus Tibbs to invest his time off the court, and an in-game punch changed his perspective on it BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Marcus Tibbs, who played basketball for two years at Bellevue College most recently in 201213, and some of the members of his Friends of Hoop youth basketball team, including Michael Crosby (second from right) of Bellevue Christian School. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter
Before the season even began, Marcus Tibbs knew he had plenty to prove both on the basketball court and in the classroom. Two years removed from playing organized hoops,

Tibbs returned to coach Jeremy Eggers’ Bellevue College squad for the 2012-13 season without any illusions about what the year meant for his hopes of enrolling and playing at a four-year college. He would not only need to play big minutes, but show he could produce and handle a team as the full-time point guard. And he would have to do all of that while proving he could continue to keep his academic work on track, something that had previously stalled his budding career. “Before anything, it was about my school work,” he said. “I was taking care of that first.” That work had already paid off by the time the basketball season rolled around, as Tibbs finished the first quarter with a 3.8 grade point average, his •

best to date. On the court, things were going smoothly as well. “I kicked off the season pretty well,” he said. “Everything was just starting to click.” A 28-point effort helped his team to the finals of the Bulldogs’ tournament and Tibbs said both individually and as a team, the chemistry was apparent. The Bulldogs put on a midseason win streak before dropping consecutive games to Whatcom and Shoreline, and hoped to use a televised home game against Peninsula College to regain some momentum. He said the postseason implications combined with a familiarity amongst players, including two from his native Tacoma, led to an atmosphere that grew in SEE TIBBS, 15 E

intensity as the game wore on. By the time Tibbs pushed his team’s lead to ten points as the fourth quarter clock ticked down, tensions had grown past the breaking point. Peninsula College’s Arnold Anderson was called for his fifth and final personal foul on the play and threw an elbow in the direction of Tibbs before being led away by teammates. But before he could be escorted off the court, the seasons of both players took a dramatic turn when he landed a blindsided punch to Tibbs’ jaw, breaking it and ending his Bellevue College career in the process. Tibbs was unable to comment on the nature of the incident because of pending litigation, but he said it was the last way he expected to finish his time on the court for Eggers and BC. “It was devastating,” he said of the news his season was over. “But once it hit me, I knew I had to do the best I could to get back into school. My goals were still the same off the court.” While his team tried to regroup without their emotional leader and floor general, Tibbs spent the next six weeks on a liquid diet with his jaw wired shut. It was more than three months before he could get back on the basketball court and two more before he could participate in full scrimmages and contact drills. During that time, the same schoolwork that cost him time on the court became his lifesaver and even though he was unable to play, Tibbs continued coaching his two youth basketball teams through the select program Friends of Hoop. “Being in the game basically kept me going,” he said, adding he installed hand
signals to call plays for his team while he was unable to talk. Michael Crosby, a 16-year-old and student at Bellevue Christian School, said he has played for Tibbs for three years and even when compared to local coaching legends like recently retired Mike Downs at BCS, Tibbs stands out. “He cares a lot about his players,” Crosby said. “Sometimes he will just call me out of the blue and give me that confidence boost.” Tibbs said that is a lesson he learned from Eggers, a man he said is like a second father and whom he has known since his time at Decatur High School. For Eggers, it has been no surprise how Tibbs handled the incident and maintained his focus as a coach and student-athlete. “As a basketball player and student-athlete and a citizen, he is a role model,” Eggers said. “I expect big things out of him.” After narrowing his choices to three schools, Tibbs ultimately chose to head north to continue his career and education and is set to begin studying Kineseology and playing basketball for the University of Victoria in August, finally realizing his dream of playing at a four-year college. He said Eggers and the rest of the coaching staff at BC played a crucial role in connecting him to the Vikes, which finished 20-9 overall last season. “I fell in love with it,” he said, adding he plans to minor in Education with plans of someday becoming a teacher. “I want to get back to coaching to give back.” Some of his current youth players were in the stands the night of the punch that ended his season, and Tibbs said he hopes they will remember the ensuing months of perseverance far more than the action that led to them. “Even when you get knocked down,” he said. “Stay strong and positive.”

Bellevue student tops in chemistry Esham Kemp from Odle Middle School tops 20,000 students in 2013 challenge BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
On June 24 Odle Middle School sixth grader Eshan Kemp represented Washington state at the 2013 National 'You Be The Chemist' challenge in Philadelphia, where he took home the top prize. "I felt really proud of myself," said Eshan, who studied four to five hours a week in advance of the competition. "And happy, because I studied really hard." Held at The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, The You Be The Chemist (YBTC) Challenge is an interactive academic competition created by the the Chemical Educational Foundation as a means to engage grade 5‒8 students in learning with their peers (and their community) about important chemistry concepts, scientific discoveries, and laboratory safety. The challenge also serves to introduce students role chemistry plays in all of the sciences and in their everyday lives. More than 20,000 students from
Eshan Kemp hold his first place trophy after winning the 2013 National 'You Be The Chemist' challenge in Philadelphia. COURTESY PHOTO around the country participated in the 2013 Challenge cycle at the local level. The top 27 students – one from each participating state and the Dis-
trict of Columbia - and their families made the trek to Philadelphia for the chemical industry sponsored national competition. Eshan qualified for the National competition after taking first place as the regional qualifier on April 28. More than two hundred excited family members, educators, and chemical industry representatives gathered to cheer on the 27 national participants. After battling through nine rounds of Chemistry-related multiple choice questions, Eshan emerged as champion. In addition to participating in the competition, competitors had the opportunity to visit Philadelphia landmarks including the Franklin Institute, the Liberty Bell and the National Constitution Center. All National Challenge participants received prizes such as Thames & Kosmos chemistry sets, gift certificates to the Discovery Channel Store, plaques, T-shirts, bags and other giveaways. The top four placing participants received trophies, TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Calculators, and scholarships for future educational use.

Bellevue seeking a vision for each light-rail station With the East Link route through Bellevue now decided, the city is seeking a vision for each station area. The goal, officials say, is to value out of transit for each area. There will be six light rail stations in Bellevue: ■ South Bellevue, where the park-and-ride now is; ■ East Main, on 112th Avenue Southeast, south of Main Street; ■ Downtown, on Northeast Sixth Street; ■ Hospital, in the Medical District; and ■ 120th Avenue Northeast and 130th Avenue Northeast, both in the Bel-Red area. The planning will focus on the
area within a quarter- to a halfmile radius of each station. While the city and Sound Transit will collaborate on the design of the East Link facilities, the city will plan the areas around the stations with guidance from residents. Likely discussion topics will include pedestrian and bicycle access, land use and development. City policy precludes land use changes in the single-family residential and environmentally sensitive areas around the South Bellevue and East Main stations. Planning and zoning is already in place for transit-oriented development (TOD) around the downtown, 120th Avenue and 130th
Avenue stations. Additional analysis will refine plans for specific sites such as the proposed park-and-ride lot at the 130th Avenue station. The city sees considerable redevelopment potential for the Hospital/Wilburton area. There will be public involvement at all phases of the process, including open houses, workshops and community walking tours, in addition to the use of social media and the city’s website (www.bellevuewa.gov/light-railstation-areas.htm) for communication. Citizen advisory committees or ad hoc groups may be formed
for each station area where broad or complex issues need to be addressed. The City Council approved the overall station area planning work program in May. During the coming months, staff will continue outreach with stakeholders as well as ongoing background research and analysis. Station area planning for the South Bellevue station also will start during the summer. The overall station area planning program will continue through 2015. Planning for different stations will vary depending on the range and complexity of the issues.

more than $5 million in renovations would be needed, an alternative, says Brown, that while outside PNB’s budget, is preferred at this point. “We’re not in a position to help with relocation costs,” said Brown. “We don’t have those funds. We fundraised for the space, just ten years ago. It would be difficult for us to go back and ask [those donors] again to support what they’ve already supported, or to put off other projects that the ballet has planned.” PNB has been in Bellevue since 1986, when it first opened an academy near Coca Cola’s distribution plant. Ninety students enrolled in that inaugural class. PNB soon outgrew the space and launched a campaign to raise funds for its move and expansion. After locating and renovating an old Gold’s Gym that had gone out of business, the Francia Russell Center opened in fall of 2002. About 1,000 students now use the center. “The school is obviously...a huge cultural asset to the city,” said Kevin Wallace, who first brought the issue to the attention of staff and fellow councilmembers during an arts commission briefing Monday, Jul. 1. “The Eastside is still so much younger than Seattle with respect to the arts, and so we have far fewer institutions like this. Losing even one would be a big loss for the overall culture and vibrancy of Bellevue.” Brown said that while PNB supports transit on the Eastside, he doesn’t view East Link as an immediate asset to the ballet, in large part because of the demographic of students. The academy caters to a younger crowd with class titles ranging from “PNB Tots” to Mommy and Me workshops. Concerns about noise mitigation along the alignment have been raised throughout East Link discussions. Softening the curve along 136th Place and Northeast 16th Street would allow the train to round the corner more quickly and likely more quietly, say staff. Sound Transit also expects the 30 mph curve would require less maintenance. “The lion’s share of attention for this project has been on segments B and C, which is the neighborhood segment and the

Bellevue relaxes signage rules
The Bellevue City Council approved an ordinance to reduce the amount of space a company would have to occupy to use signage in downtown Bellevue. The new rules allow for company headquarters of 120,000 square feet or more, though buildings are still not permitted to have more than one company’s sign per tower, and no more than two signs total. Some had complained of the previously restrictive policies and council and staff argued that the changes might further incentivize business in the city.
downtown segment…There really hasn’t been as much attention paid out here, in Bel-Red” said Wallace. “But we’ve had success in working with Sound Transit and its board members in getting them to recognize important issues like this. I’m hopeful we can continue a good relationship.” Geoff Patrick, spokesperson for Sound Transit, said talks were still underway, adding that the agency is responsible not just for ensuring fair market value, but in funding the relocation of tenants. Brown says he expects to know within a month, whether ST will be able to help with relocation costs, or if the ballet will have to start looking for alternatives. “Bellevue is an important community for us,” said Brown. “We’re happy to be there and we’d like to continue to.”

Youth Theatre NW presents ‘Godspell’
If anyone knows how to reinvent himself, it’s Kenny Loggins. First, he was one half of the uber-popular pop duo, Loggins & Messina. Next, he was the go-to for blockbuster movie anthems. Now, he’s the mastermind behind, Blue Sky Riders, a country trio consisting of himself and Nashville staples Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr. The Reporter recently caught up with the group, in advance of their show at Snoqualmie Casino this weekend: REPORTER: How is this project different than other projects you’ve done? Burr: Well, I’ve been a writer for hire in Nashville for 20 Years. For me this is a big thrill. I like being the guy off to the left, but I didn’t realize I wanted to be the guy at the front of the stage. This gives me that for the first time. Middleman: [Generally] I write with so many different people, that I never have control of the final product. With Blue Sky Riders, it feels good to fulfill steps all they way, from a to z. That’s what happens when you are the artist and the business people. Burr: Absolutely. We felt, if anyone was going to tell us our songs suck, it was going to be us. REPORTER: What makes Blue Sky Riders work? Middleman: We really respect each other. We are all fans of each other. It’s a real respectful collaboration. Loggins: I would also say it’s the vocal blend. It’s the things that you can’t actually plan. We got lucky with that, all of us were shocked by that. REPORTER: What inspires your
Youth Theatre Northwest kicks off its 30th Anniversary Season with the hit Broadway musical “Godspell,” opening Friday, July 12, and performing through Sunday, July 21. Based on the New Testament Gospel according to St. Matthew, Godspell features music masterfully written by American Theatre icon Stephen Schwartz. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, acrobatics and vaudeville, Godspell is a unique reflection on the life of Jesus, and includes hit song “Day By Day.” 8805 SE 40th St., Mercer Island.
New gallery debuts in Seattle The Blue Sky Riders is Kenny Loggins, Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr. The band will play Snoqualmie Casino on Sunday. COURTESY PHOTO songs? Burr: One of the things is that we all like what each other does, but we all wanted this to be a different musical entity. We have to really work to keep a song in the middle so it doesn’t sound too much like one person. Middleman: For me, it’s when you bring in song ideas to other writers. It’s a neat surprise because you never know what you’re going to get. I’m constantly surprised by this band. Loggins: I’m inspired by the fact that I am in the room with two great writers. And wherever the song wants to go, we can go there. REPORTER: What’s your favorite song to perform? Loggins: “Just Say Yes,” is the one we’ve recorded most recently. It’s a year fresher than most and I like message it speaks to me. I would say “Dream” - lyrically - matters to me, and I see it connecting with people in the audi-
ence. Burr: I like “I get It” right now. It’s the scariest one we have to perform, because it’s so complicated. I have to concentrate on that the most, but I like the challenge. REPORTER: What do you hope fans walk away with after your show? Burr and Loggins: A CD [laughs]. Burr: Our shows - we have a lot of fun on stage - and that translates to an audience. We want people to feel that. Loggins: It’s especially gratifying when an audience leaves saying “I didn’t know it was going to be this good.” I believe this tour coming up we’ve been setting up for this for two years. I think we’re about to see the tour we dreamed of. Find the Blue Sky Riders, at blueskyridersband.com. The band plays at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 14, at the Snoqualmie Casino.

Gypsy Soul returns to Bake’s Place On Saturday, July 20, Ashland, Ore.-based duo Gypsy Soul will return to downtown Bellevue to celebrate the relase of their new album, “The World is My Country. “ Brought together by a chance meeting in Scotland more than a decade ago, real-life couple Cilette Swann and Roman Morykit have been making compelling, eclectic music as Gypsy Soul for years. But the dups 10th album, The World Is My Country, may be their most personal yet. “We actually separated for a while, while we were still doing Gypsy Soul, and it was probably the best thing we could have done to rediscover ourselves,” Swan said. Gypsy Soul plays at 8 p.m. July 20 at Bake’s Place, 155 108th Ave. NE, Suite 110. $20.

Still Life
Fond memories of a short life
I
t’s not just civic leaders who leave a hole in a community when they die. Michael O’Neill, who passed away June 19, knew more about the lives of a long list of Bellevue residents than political leaders know about most of their constituents. I’m talking about people who spent half an hour or more with him every five to six weeks talking about their families, jobs, favorite sports teams, struggles and successes, while he cut their hair at Flamingo Salon, Salon Tewl and, finally, Salon Bella. I believe most stylists know how to cut hair well. But skills alone Ann Oxrieder were not what drew clients to Michael. All who parked themselves in his chair knew the time they spent there was going to make up for a bad day at work, an argument with a spouse, or a letdown they’d just experienced. A repository of anecdotes he’d collected over the years, he parceled them out one at a time, a guarantee that customers would come back for more. My favorite stories were ones he told about himself, including the one that follows. Up to the end Michael talked with his hands, the same hands that held a pair of tiny scissors next to a client’s face. I always closed my eyes and squeezed hard when he was in the middle of a particularly engrossing tale, worried that the scissors would clip my forehead or strike an eyelid, but they never did. At one point, though, he confessed that while my worry was unfounded at this stage in his career, years earlier his scissors had grazed the skin above
the eyebrow of a client and drawn blood. She was angry and he was embarrassed, not only while they were in the salon, but later that day when Michael’s boss took him to a local restaurant for a consolatory beer. As it turned out, there was no chance that alcohol was going to help Michael forget his traumatic experience since the same client, now wearing a bandage on her Michael O’Neill forehead, worked as a barmaid and was assigned to their table. Michael loved all sports and knew the Las Vegas odds for and against every team in any sport. He’d offer me “four to one odds with a three-point spread in favor of the Seahawks next Sunday” and then have to translate what he’d just said. I think he designed this pastime more for his male clients, but didn’t want to exclude any potential donors, which I was when I bet against him once and lost four dollars. Michael wasn’t just a talker. He listened with appreciation and commented on everything I said, something I’m sure he did for all his clients. Beyond his gifts as a storyteller were his kind heart and a genuine interest in hearing about other people’s lives. All of us who found a friend, who happened also to be a good hair stylist, will miss him immensely. It would be worth it to lose a few more dollars in a bet if we could see him again. Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at www.stillalife.wordpress.com.

Bellevue launches sustainability website
Bellevue has launched a new website in partnership with Bellevue College and others to help residents increase sustainability. Bellevue’s GreenWA.org website offers users interactive maps, videos and information that showcase a variety of options for more sustainable living on the Eastside. The site offers information on how to produce clean energy at your home, drive cars without gas, find local farmers markets or learn the right time to visit local streams to see them full of fish. Users of GreenWA can use a tablet device, smart phone or personal computer to navigate the site’s features. The site is organized into six main subject categories – Natural Environment, Mobility, Green Building, Local Economy, Culture & Community, and Reuse & Recycle. Visitors can surf through a “Maps” section, which uses icons to display resources, infrastructure and engagement opportunities; a “Tours” section comprised of videos clips on the topic; and a “Knowledge” section with written content, links and additional learning opportunities. “We wanted to create a fun, easy, way for people to become aware of the sustainability value of these wonderful assets in their community, and to make the connections between the social, economic and ecological assets and their quality of life and community,” said Sheida Sahandy, director of Bellevue’s Environmental Stewardship Initiative. “And the really exciting part is that we want to grow the site to allow active community participation so that, for example, a school could do a project with students geo-locating their favorite trees and posting them on our maps.” The website’s “Get Involved” page encourages users to contribute to a Public Tree Map, posting noteworthy trees and sharing the stories behind them. Other community partners contributing to the site include the 12,000 Rain Gardens for Puget Sound campaign, Northwest SEED, Cascade Bicycle Club and Cascade Water Alliance.
