Local business helps veterans transition into civilian workforce BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

For R.J. Naugle, entering the military soon after Sept. 11 gave him a sense of purpose that was critical to his being. When he left, he wanted his civilian job to employ the same sense of pride. “When you transition out, sometimes you lose your identity,” says Naugle, director of military and veteran recruiting programs at local tech consulting firm, Direct Technology (DT). In the next five years, 1.5 million service members will return from active duty, he says. Veterans often face the

grim reality of unemployment, addiction, homelessness and high rates of suicide. But while these are truisms, a growing number of federal, state and private entities are attempting to funnel veterans into technology, IT and engineering jobs that are suffering from talent gaps. Among them is Direct Technology, which recruits and trains veterans on everything from resume writing to interview skills. It comes easily to the company, where 20 percent of the employeebase has served in the military. “It's interesting, when you're young

and you enter the military, they shave your head, they put you in the same uniform and you know whose team you're on,” says Rick Nelson CEO of DT and an Air Force veteran. “When you come back to civilian life everyone dresses the same...and when you take a job you don't always connect immediately with the higher goals or how the task lends itself to that mission.” There are programs in place on a federal level to rehabilitate veterans, but Naugle and Nelson both insist that the

The city of Bellevue can begin solving longstanding Coal Creek flooding issues in Newport Shores a year earlier than planned, following funding from the King County Flood Control District. Over the last two decades, Bellevue has received and responded to dozens of flooding issues in the neighborhood after rain storms, such as storm drain back-ups, culvert blockages, and Coal Creek overflows. At Bellevue’s request, the district is providing approximately $200,000 to help the city accelerate a study of flood causes in the neighborhood, an analysis of possible solutions, and a recommendation of how best to address the flooding issues. Improvements could range from actions such as increasing channel or culvert capacity, to retrofitting a detention pond, to constructing a bypass. A total of $8.3 million has been appropriated by the district for use when the project is ready to proceed. “It was important to move on getting this project underway,” said Reagan Dunn, chair of of the King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors.“The flooding history in this part of Bellevue needed a solution and I am pleased the Flood Control District could step in and provide that fix.” Jane Hague, who represents Bellevue on the King County Council, which supervises the district, also backed the move. “I applaud this proactive study of the causes as well as solutions for this reoccurring challenge that overwhelms storm drains, culverts and creek flooding,” Hague said. “We appreciate the funding coming at this time from the Flood Control District,” said Don Davidson, Bellevue Councilmember and member of the King County Flood Control District Advisory Committee. “It means that residents and property owners in Newport Shores will see this important project begin a year earlier than expected.” Bellevue is scheduled to choose a final project design and acquire needed permits for the project in 2014, with construction work on the project to begin in 2015. The Flood District was created in 2007 to provide funding and oversight for flood protection projects and programs across King County.

Hunter earns ‘Champion for Early Learning’ honor State Rep. Ross Hunter of Medina has earned the “Champion of Early Learning” honor from the Children’s Alliance, a statewide organization that advocates for ensuring all kids in Washington are safe and healthy. “I’m extremely appreciative of this honor from the Children’s Alliance,” Hunter said. “More investment in early learning, restoration of cuts to Apple Health, and our participation in Medicaid expansion were major victories for all Washington residents this year.” As chair of the House Appropriations

committee, Hunter was a strong advocate for increased funding for the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP). The Legislature allocated an additional $22 million in funding for the program, which will help 1,700 more low-income 3- and 4- year-olds get a quality jumpstart on their education. Hunter also was recognized his efforts to restore funding for Apple Health, a statewide program to help ensure all Washington children have health care coverage. T:4.8” “Representative Hunter knows that

early learning is a proven means of closing the educational opportunity gap," said Jon Gould, deputy director of the Children’s Alliance. "He successfully worked in the 2013 legislative session to expand access to early learning for children in low income families. In order to meet Washington’s constitutional obligation of a basic education for all children, policymakers will need to continue to invest in all of Washington’s youngest learners.” The Children’s Alliance also honored lawmakers for their efforts to end child hunger and improve children’s health.

Medina man who died in plane crash remembered as helping youth, families A Medina man, killed in a plane crash Aug. 9 with his son, was remembered as "an amazing man" who worked to help meet the needs of kids and families on the Eastside. Bill Henningsgaard, a former vice president of Microsoft, and his son, Max, died while the plane he was flying crashed in East Haven, Conn. The Bill Henningsgaard two were visiting colleges on the East Coast when the plane crashed into two houses near an airport as it attempted to land. "Bill Henningsgaard was an amazing man and an integral part of helping Youth Eastside Services grow to better meet the

needs of youth and families in our community," said Patti Skelton-McGougan, executive director of Youth Eastside Services. Henningsgaard was a member of the agency's board of trustees since 1998 served as president as well as on several committees, Skelton-McGougan said, adding that he led the YES capital campaign that raised $10.7 million for its new facility in Bellevue's Crossroads Park. "This is a tremendous loss for the community, but our hearts especially go out to his family." Skelton-McGougan said. Henningsgaard worked for 14 years at Microsoft in marketing and as vice president of sales for theWestern U.S., Australia and New Zealand. After leaving Microsoft, he became active in a number of activities and organizations to help the area's youth.

EDITORIAL

Thumbs Up; Thumbs Down



For Don Davidson. The longtime Bellevue City Council member, who served twice as mayor as part of a decades-long service to the community, and graciously ended his political career after coming in third in the primary. Davidson, a dentist, not only has seen Bellevue grow and prosper, but also has been a key reason for the city’s success with his level-headed presence on the council.



For the King County Flood Control District for granting Bellevue’s request for $200,000 to accelerate a study of Coal Creek flooding issues a year earlier than planned. The money will help the city analyze possible solutions on how to best address the issue. Once done, the district has $8.3 million ready to do the work. The district is supervised by the King County Council, so a Thumbs Up goes to it, too.



For the city of Bellevue for allowing a fireworks show over Meydenbauer Bay on Saturday, Aug. 17 that appears to have caught many residents off guard. The show, put on for a private party, had all the necessary permits and the city sent out emails and passed out flyers to nearby residents, but apparently not everyone got the message. The problem is that while we expect booms and bangs on the Fourth of July, any other time they sound like the beginning of a battle. The city should rethink such proposals in the future.



For the Seahawks, who along with an organization called Melanoma Exposed: Screen. Protect. Know, will offer free skin cancer screenings before its next pre-season game with Oakland from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29 in the CenturyLink Field Event Center. Despite our reputation for cloudy skies, experts say people here have six times as many melanoma cases as Hawaii. Get checked. It’s painless. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Say thanks to those tourists

hose of us who stuck around Bellevue this summer enjoyed all our fair city has to offer. From stand-up paddle boarding on Lake Washington to reveling in the region’s finest arts and cultural offerings at events like BAM ARTSfair, we can all agree that Bellevue affords an incredible quality of life. While enjoying these amenities, you may have noticed that, in Sharon Linton addition to local residents, tourists – both leisure and business travelers – are becoming an increasingly frequent sight around town. Yet before you start grumbling about the badge-wearing group of conventioneers that may have caused a line at your neighborhood Starbucks, consider the impact these guidebook

and camera-toting travelers have on our economy. For two years, Visit Bellevue Washington has been working to promote convention and leisure tourism in Bellevue. The organization launched in 2011, the same year that Legislature closed the tourism office, leaving Washington as the only state in the country with no statewide tourism office or marketing budget. This made it more important than ever to make sure that our thriving city – and all of its amenities for leisure and group visitors – had the opportunity to market itself. We have many booming industries, including technology and real estate, so why is tourism important to Bellevue residents? Tourists spend money – $621 million in 2012 to be exact. Last year, our city hosted 1.3 million visitors who shopped at The Bellevue Collection, dined at The Bravern, stayed

The battle for public records

hose looking for a more transparent government are increasingly relying on public records to make it happen. They hope the more documents they obtain the clearer their view of what’s really going on behind closed doors in school districts, city halls and county buildings. But there are those throughout the public sector convinced some of these Washingtonians are abusing the Public Records Act. An alliance of government forces — whose members often are the targets of the records — tried unsuccessfully earlier this year to rewrite the act to make it easier to repel requesters whose motives they question. With the help of Republican and DemoJerry Cornfield cratic lawmakers, they pushed a bill to make it easier for public agencies to block requests and to limit the time spent compiling records. Though the bill died in the legislative process, the matter reappeared in the state budget in the form of a provision to spend $25,000 contemplating ways to help governments deal with records requests they consider harassing. Lawmakers tapped the Ruckelshaus Center, a joint venture of the University of Washington and Washington State University, to facilitate a conversation between those in the alliance and those who viewed the failed bill as an unprecedented attack on citizens’ right to petition their government. By Dec. 15, the center is supposed to put forth recommendations. Michael Kern, the center director, said this week the time frame is too tight to pull the parties together for fruitful face-to-face sessions. The game plan is to speak with 20 to 30 people who’ve been visible and vocal in the legislative conflict then prepare an assessment of the situation based on what center staff hears in the interviews. “We’ll report what the diverse interests say,” he said. “It will not

include our opinions because we don’t have opinions. We are a neutral third party.” That’s not quite what Democratic Rep. Dean Takko of Longview envisioned when he helped persuade leaders of his party to put the proviso in the budget. Takko, who sponsored the failed bill, hoped the skilled forces at the center could blaze a trail lawmakers could not. “Myself and quite a number of other people think there’s something we need to address,” said Takko,. Now, he’ll take whatever they provide this winter as a possible starting point for legislation in 2014. “In all honesty, we probably will not be a whole lot further than when the session ended,” he said. “It’s a big enough issue that we have to take some baby steps forward.” Another person interested in talking with Kern’s team is Jason Mercier, an analyst with the Washington Policy Center and member of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. The coalition strongly opposed Takko’s bill. He sees no reason to change the Public Records Act. The problem isn’t he law, he said, but officials understanding of it. Many do not realize what tools are already available to them when someone submits one of those so-called burdensome requests. He suggested lawmakers asked the wrong question with the budget proviso. Leaders in local governments say hefty requests can chew up staff time and taxpayer dollars, but there’s no data on how much time and money is wasted to back up their claims, he said. Getting the answer would really inform the discussion, he said. Sounds like something a public records request, or two, could clear up.

In 2012 total employment directly generated by visitors was 9,759 jobs and $337 million in wages. With more jobs, we see small business owners setting up shop in Bellevue. In the past six months, Bellevue has welcomed several new businesses including Seattle Coffee Gear, Salt Mine Arium, Cactus Restaurant, and many more. Our local hoteliers also feel the impact. According to PKF Hospitality Research’s March-May 2013 Edition, hotel occupancy in Bellevue was up 4.5 percent at 72 percent with the average daily rate up 5.1 percent at $136. As Bellevue continues to grow, we invite you to keep the momentum going. Bring out-of-town guests to the Bellevue Farmers Market, try biking the Lake-to-Lake Trail with a friend, or simply say hello to the next person who looks like they might be new to the city. Share all that we love about Bellevue with houseguests and friends. Because, as we’ve seen, tourism does matter.

with so many other so-called wildlife “problems,” it was brought on humans themselves. The old growth forests that once grew to the water’s edge were felled years ago; shrubs like salmonberry or huckleberry as well as riparian vegetation that used to house bullfrogs and provided cover for fish have been torn out and replaced with concrete bulkheads, backfill and manicured lawn grass. The end result of this rampant manipulation is a strange new world, inhospitable for all but the most grass-loving of creatures. And it just so happens that geese, like humans, love mowed lawns. But rather than calling in the death-squad from “Wildlife Services” to fire up their gas chambers, why not try replacing some of the acres of grass with native vegetation? I guarantee the geese will move on to greener pastures.

World War I Memorial In January 1920, three elm trees were planted by the Bellevue Minute Women in front of the Bellevue Grade School in honor of three Bellevue men who served in World War I: Victor Freed, Victor Hanson and Oscar Johnson. The monument also originally served as a flagpole for the school and was dedicated on Armistice Day in 1926. The two little girls in the photo, Helen Lysell and Doris Hanson, were the nieces of one of the honored soldiers, Victor Hanson. The elm trees are still standing, but the area is now a part of Downtown Park. One tree was taken down in 2007 after being damaged in a windstorm, but another tree was planted to replace it.

Bellevue alum finds internship offers learning experience BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER

As students all across the country prepare to head back to the classroom, some will reflect on the real-world experience they received as the result of a summer internship. That’s exactly the situation for Bellevue High School Class of 2010 alum, Jonathan Hung, who will wrap up a software development internship at Siemens Corporation in Mountain View, Calif., before heading back to classes at Stanford in mid-September. The internship, which Hung started in June, has enabled him to apply his studies in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in a hands-on learning environment. Hung found out about the internship as a result of winning a Siemens scholarship during his junior year of high school; the company contacted previous award winners to apply for the position and Hung was selected for the Mountain View campus. Hung said he decided to apply for the position because he’d never worked for a large company before, and he saw it as an interesting software opportunity nearby to where he would be living

Four elected to LE board The Leadership Eastside Board of Directors has elected four new members to the board.

this summer. Even before Siemens contacted him, he said he was looking for a computer-related internship that could offer him some professional experience. Although Hung said he took a computer sciences class as a student at Bellevue High School, he didn’t decide to pursue a career in computer software until taking classes at Stanford his freshman year. The Jonathan Hung college senior is majoring in Electrical Engineering. Hung said he didn’t know what to expect in regard to the full-time summer position, but he’s learned a lot about the corporate world. As a software development intern, Hung is working on re-writing code for the company’s online database and customer service center. While Hung said he’s done a variety of coding previously, he is learning a new technology and new a new coding language at Siemens. “It’s been difficult to pick up some

things I’m not familiar with,” Hung said. Hung said the internship itself hasn’t changed his career goals much; he has wanted to get involved with computer software since he started college. “The biggest difference [from school] would be that, when you work for a company there’s a lot stricter schedule,” Hung said. “It’s easier to work when I want at school.” Hung adds it is nice that once the work day is finished, he doesn’t need to worry about work. But he said the position at Siemens has been a great experience and that he plans to apply for other internships in the future. His advice for other students looking to be successful in obtaining an internship? “Take as many courses in the field you’re interested in,” Hung said. “You’ll never know how what you learn in school will be applied – and taking as many [courses] as possible will help you to be ready.”

Aaron Dipzinski (LE '14 Spring) and Director of the Bellevue Clinic and Surgery Center at Seattle Children's, has been chosen to represent his class for one year. Patrick Bannon (LE '11) and President of the Bellevue Downtown Association, has been elected for a three-year term. Also

elected for three-year terms are: Jeffry Borgida, a member of the LE Executive Insight Program and general manager at Republic Services, and Scott Harlan (LE '08) who serves on the LE Finance Committee and is the co-owner and manager at Redmond Funding Group, LLC.

A late night fireworks display off Meydenbauer Bay on Saturday night, caught neighbors attention and drew several complaints. “Nothing like this has ever happened,” said Jean Chauhan, who has lived in the area since 1946. “It literally sounded like bombs. It shook our building, the reverberation was so powerful.” A public notice about the event was circulated the week before in the form of email messages and more than 1,000 flyers, said Lt. Richard Burke of the Bellevue Fire Department. A representative with Pyro & Fire FX, which helped put on the display, approximated that between 200 and 250 fireworks were detonated from a barge in Meydenbauer Bay, though the permit lists over 300. Hadi Partovi, a Bellevue area investor with Microsoft, Dropbox and Facebook among his portfolio of work, is listed

as the sponsor of the display. The night of the show, Twitter ignited over the display. Some tweeted images, others complained that they hadn’t been granted fair warning, or denounced the late hour. A public notice that went out over email on Aug. 16 said the show would be 20 minutes long, from about 10:45-11 p.m., though Chauhan estimated that it had started at 10:30 and run for 30 minutes. She also said that meeting with neighbors had revealed one friend had heard and seen the display all the way from Queen Anne. “It’s not that the show was wrongly conducted, it’s that it shouldn’t have been given a permit in the first place,” she said of the late hour. Pyro & Fire FX explained that to be permitted the company and applicant first needed permission from the Coast Guard on a local and federal level. A crew of employ-

Microsoft matches employee volunteer time and makes a donation to the Bellevue Schools Foundation for each employee’s hours. In 2012-13, TEALS volunteers worked more than 1,174 hours and the donation totaled more than $19,000. The foundation puts those dollars back into computer science education, providing students with essential study materials and opportunities to put their programming skills to work. “Exposing students to computer science early on gives them the opportunity to consider it as a career path and take the steps necessary to prepare for further study in college,” Broman said. “Even students who don’t aspire to work in tech fields will need to understand how computers work. Computers are everywhere and they’re here to stay.”

Future computer scientists are getting a strong start in Bellevue’s public schools. Through Microsoft’s Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS) program, part of the company’s YouthSpark initiative, high school students have the opportunity to learn computer science from top technology professionals who teach one class period in the morning before heading off to their day jobs. Not all TEALS volunteers are Microsoft employees – high-tech workers from Google, Amazon, and other companies also are teaching computer science in Bellevue schools. After going through an intensive threemonth training program, TEALS volunteers partner with an in-class teacher to share their computer science expertise and real world perspective with students. The classroom teachers help TEALS volunteers hone their instructional abilities, while the TEALS volunteers help build classroom teachers’ capacity to teach computer science. TEALS operated at Bellevue and Newport high schools last year, and will expand to Interlake High School this fall. Since beginning in 2010, TEALS has grown exponentially. In the 2012-13 year, the program reached more than 1,500 high school students in 37 schools. Studies show that many of the fastest growing jobs are computer-related. Less than 3 percent of college students graduate with a degree in computer science, despite its status as one of the highest paying undergraduate degrees. Compa-

Successful fundraiser provides support for local Special Olympics Local businesses and area families participated in a night of casual dining and wine tastings from Washington wineries Aug. 2 to benefit Special Olympics Washington. The event, hosted by Equinox Business Law Group and held at Bellevue’s Tam o'Shanter Golf & Country Club, raised more than $15,000 in support of yearround Special Olympics sports programs in Bellevue. The funds raised at this event also support groups throughout the entire state of Washington and their participation in the Winter and Summer Special Olympic Games. The money will help purchase uniforms for the special population players, which according to the team, has been operating without uniforms due to the lack of community support and funding.

“Special Olympics are about more than sports. They are about giving our communities special needs population a place to learn and fit in with their peers," said Dawn Nelson, Client Relationship Manager of Equinox Business Law Group. "As a business in the community, we feel it is our duty to support these amazing, local teams.” It was the fourth year Equinox supported the event and community sponsorships doubled from the previous year. Local sponsors included Resourceful HR, 4th Avenue Media, Shannon & Associates CPA, Johnson & Shute CPA, West Coast Behavioral Consultants, Fairfield Functional Therapy, RGIA, Brambleberry, Rosen and Murphy Business and Financial Group.

Short takes on the news

to happen? Well, the battle was organized by Party Camp, a nonprofit organization that donated ticket proceeds to Camp Korey. And Seattle is no stranger to strange recordbreaking events. In 2008, residents attempted to break the record for the world’s largest naked swim, while the World’s Largest Snowball Fight was held at the Seattle Center just seven months ago. And this fall, Seahawks fans plan to set a record for crowd noise at the CenturyLink Field. The water balloon fight itself was pretty anticlimactic. While there were hundreds of thousands of water balloons contained in the numerous kiddie pools, they were no match for us – the insane barrage and splashing only lasted about five minutes. The more memorable part of the festival was later, when someone had the bright idea of sliding down the walls around the fountain in an empty kiddie pool. I almost knocked someone out hurtling towards the fountain, and while we got away unscathed, ambulance sirens a few minutes later proved that not everyone was so lucky. While I’m not sure if we broke the record, the fight was a nice reminder that most people will happily turn into five-year-olds again at the sight of a water balloon. Seattle’s a good place to be during the summer…but personally, when the Seahawks fans try to set a noise record, I’m out of here.

The world’s largest water balloon fight

he minute I saw the sign, I knew I had to go. On Aug. 17 I was at the Seattle Center, throwing water balloons at strangers in an attempt to break the record for the largest ever water balloon fight. The battle took place on a sunny day at the fountain. Kiddie pools filled with water balloons circled the lawn, labeled with signs that read “Don’t be THAT guy. DO NOT touch the water balloons before the world record attempt.” Thousands of Fina Short people milled around the plaza waiting for the big moment - some were there for the festivities, others for the beer garden or simply to go crazy and get wet. Why, you ask, does an event like this need

How adversity impacts children

ll of our kids experience pain and trauma at some point in their life. Try to name a family that hasn’t gone through a difficult stretch – I can’t. Sometimes, though, life’s bumps and curves rise to a level that can cause lasting impacts on a child’s health and wellbeing, well into adulthood. Researchers have looked into serious events that a group of adults reported they had experienced as children; these were named “Adverse Childhood Experiences” (ACEs). The events studied were traumatic, and much more than the typical “bumps” of childhood. The original ACE Study, conducted between 1995 and 1997 by Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has helped us understand how events in childhood, and even infancy, impact people later in life. It has also served as a platform for Patti Skeltonmany other studies over the past 15 years. McGougan The foundation of ACE research is the correlation between the number of traumas in a child’s life and chronic diseases that develop as an adult, as well as social and emotional problems in adulthood. Researchers have found that exposure to traumas can cause physical damage to a developing brain; literally creating issues in the way a child’s brain becomes wired. The ACE Study categorizes 10 types of childhood trauma, and they fall into two categories. The first one involves family members and includes alcoholism, mental illness, domestic abuse of a mother, a family member in prison, or loss of a parent through divorce, death or abandonment. The other category involves those things that happen to the child and includes physical, verbal or sexual abuse as well as physical or emotional neglect. This list is by no means exhaustive because there are so many types of childhood trauma, such as overcoming a severe illness or accident, seeing a sibling abused, being homeless, poverty and more. Only 10 childhood traumas were followed in the study because they were the most commonly mentioned and they had all been well researched. It’s likely that those who have experienced other types of toxic stress

over months or years would also face a greater risk of health consequences. The more ACEs a child has, and the longer the exposure to stress, the greater the risk for problems throughout life. Behavior problems defined in the study include substance abuse, reduced physical activity, or missed school or work. Physical issues include severe obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and STDs. Mental health problems manifest as anxiety, depression or suicide attempts. For teens and older children, the overload of stress hormones can make learning more difficult and impact the ability to trust adults or develop healthy relationships with peers. To relieve their stress, they may turn to unhealthy choices like alcohol, overindulgence of food, marijuana (or other drugs), high-risk sports, multiple sex partners, or over-achievement. Of course, not every child exposed to adversity is going to develop problems. As parents, we can take steps to build resilience in our children that can help them overcome the impact of ACEs or any stressor. For example, help children make friends; engage them in age-appropriate volunteer activities; maintain a daily routine; and help kids set attainable goals and steps to achieve them. You can teach your child ways to take a break from stress or what’s worrying them, such as through creative activities like music or art, or other things he or she enjoys. The goal is a balance that provides children with better tools to manage the after-effects of ACEs, or any kind of stress, within a supportive, stimulating environment. Family counseling can also be a very useful tool to achieve this balance. Armed with this knowledge, take an honest look at how your child’s early years and family environment may be impacting your son’s or daughter’s ability to cope. Also look at your own history or things that happened in your family that influence your parenting. To learn what your or your child’s ACE score is, visit www.AcesTooHigh.com/got-your-acescore.

Still Life

Wanted: a travel agent all the time

month ago, a friend of mine who is an experienced traveler, sounded disappointed when I told her my husband and I had turned to a travel agent to help us plan a trip to Europe. However, recently she changed her tune when she realized that things can go wrong when I’m traveling even a few miles from home. She’s a freelance writer who had an assignment to describe a walking tour in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District. I decided Ann Oxrieder to tag along. She could take notes and photos and I could shop and eat. We set a date to take the bus to Seattle together. She would hop on the bus near her house and I would climb aboard the same vehicle at a Park & Ride. A closed road in my neighborhood led to a long detour to reach the Park & Ride. When I arrived late and in a panic, the

bus was pulling away. The driver reluctantly let me board. I found a seat on the bus, easy to do since there were only about six other passengers. None was my friend. I texted her. “I’m on the bus. Where are you?” I added a lengthy description of where we could meet in Seattle. Since I’m not a proficient texter – my thumb hits the wrong letter or number as often as it lands on the right one — five minutes passed with my head bent over. Finally I pushed “send” and looked up. No. This can’t be, I said to myself. We’re traveling away from Seattle. The number on the bus is right, but it’s going the wrong direction. I pulled the cord for the next stop and slunk out the back door so the driver wouldn’t notice that after begging to be the last on his bus, I was now requesting to be the first off. The story had a happy ending. Eventually I found a bus headed in the right direction, caught it back to the International District and my friend and I met. We learned a little history of the area, saw several sights new to us, including the community garden and the Panama Hotel (made famous to readers in “Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet”) and worked off a few calories climbing hills. She agreed that I had made a sound decision in seeking help from a travel agent. Her exact words were, “If yours doesn’t work out, I’ll find you one.” 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 http://stillalife. wordpress.com/.

responsibility should equally fall on local companies. “[The awareness] is growing. We’re getting a lot better at it. The private sector is opening up to military talent,” says Naugle. “We also recognize it’s a tradeoff. We’re trading a formal education at a major university for the ability to operate in a high-pressure situation and harsh conditions and to have communication skills and more training that doesn’t come with someone straight out of college.” When Naugle enlisted in 2003, he turned down a promising offer with a subsidiary of GM to serve his country. He trained to become a paratrooper and was stationed at Fort Lewis where he met his wife, a helicopter pilot. Naugle later became an officer, moving to Maryland and Kentucky. In 2007 he joined Microsoft. Helped along by his own network of veterans, he founded a training program called Military 2 Microsoft, which paired the skill sets learned in the military with jobs in the high-tech field. “The military is downsizing,” explains Naugle. “Some of these are involuntary separations, which doesn’t mean they’re not honorable discharges, it just means the military shut down that job. We equate it with layoffs in the private sector.” He points to one example of an individual who was honorably discharged after being told he’d served his country. The following Monday he started a job with Microsoft. Success stories like this one are important both for the individual, says Naugle, and for the public. In 2012 veteran unemployment rates reached 7 percent, a number that will likely grow as military operations further wind down. Outreach typically begins in the last few

months of service, during the military's mandatory Transition Assistance Program (TAP). Where TAP stops, Direct Technology picks up, says Nelson, adding that with Seattle and Bellevue’s growing demand for tech jobs, training is usually made with the local market in mind. “There are certain developments and skill sets for which there is simply not enough talent out there,” says Jennifer Halabi, account executive at Direct Technology, who before joining DT was a technical recruiter for six years. “I used to always kid, ‘I wish there was a way to incubate people and grow them ourselves.’ Well, essentially that’s what we’re doing. It’s exciting because it not only benefits the military, but also the tech industry because we’re filling gaps we can’t now fill.” While companies take pride in hiring veterans, they often don't immediately know where to place them. “One of the great values we see in military members is this tremendous discipline and work ethic,” says Nelson. “…There’s a sense of pride bringing them into a company and helping them start careers.”

BELLEVUE REPORTER

When 2013 Newport High School grad Kyle Nelson leaves Newcastle for Seattle Pacific University to study communications in the coming weeks, he knows there will be plenty of change. But thanks to a newly formed scholarship from the community club he has called a second home for most of his life, he also knows the same support system he relied on will remain in place. Nelson was one of two recipients of the Newport Hills Swim and Tennis Club’s first-ever scholarship award, along with Hazen grad and childhood friend Amy LeBar, said many of his fondest memories have come in the pools at Newport Hills since he began swimming there as a youngster. “It has been a big part of my life,” he said. “Hanging out with family was always big here, this is where we came.

Bellevue man second at Beaver Lake Triathlon Steve Bailey, a 43-year-old Bellevue man, finished in second place at the Beaver Lake Triathlon, a sprint event in Sammamish. Bailey was the fastest finisher in the male masters division, and was the second individual to finish overall in a time of one hour, ten minutes and 46 seconds. Michael Pritchard, a 48-year-old man from Bellevue, finished in tenth place overall and was second in his division in 1:13:49.

Local alums take gridirons As another group of student-athletes looks to make their mark in the prep ranks, a host of former stars from Bellevue are already showcasing their talents on collegiate and even professional fields. Bellevue graduate Stephen Schilling is with the San Diego Chargers once again, after being cut by the team in 2012 only to rejoin them later in the season after injuries cut their offensive line depth. A pair of former Bellevue stars are hoping to get on the field for the University of Washington and coach Steve Sarkisian after redshirt freshman seasons in 2012. Linemen Michael Kneip and Jake Eldrenkamp, who anchored the line on the 2011 state title squad for Bellevue, both hope to have an impact this season. 2012 Newport grad Isaac Dotson, a two-way star for the Knights and coach Mike Miller, was recently the subject of a feature story on the school’s athletic department website. The freshman for the Cougars, who is listed as a safety in his official page but is mentioned in the story as a quarterback, is also one of five players on the team with a father who was an athlete at Washington State. Dotson’s father Michael, also a coach with the Newport program, was a wrestler at WSU in the mid-1980s.

...obituaries Myron Dewitt (Bud) Brooks, II

Bud Brooks passed away at 6:17 AM on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at the age of 88. He was preceeded in death by his wife LaJuan (Braden) Brooks, his daughter Lisa Soderberg, his father Myron Dewitt Brooks, Sr., mother Nelle Janet (Scott) Brooks, his uncle Lloyd Scott, and his bother Robert Scott Brooks. He is survived by his son and daughterin-law, Tom and Renee Brooks of Tacoma, Washington; his neices and nephews, Alice A. Musburger (James) of Litchfield, MN, TaiLi Huang –Brooks of Taipei, Taiwan, Mark A. Brooks (Linda Brown) and John S. Brooks (Judi) of Mankato, MN.; his sisters, Mary Ann Brooks-Mueller, Sarah Jane Brooks, Rita Ferry (Bob) and brother Peter Brooks (Diane). Bud has four grandchildren: Danielle Molina (Soderberg), Joshua Soderberg,David Soderberg and Sojourner Duxbury. He also had five great grandchildren: Casey, Brooks, Lucas, Roman, and Harlin. Bud was born June 23, 1925 and attended high school at Shawnee Mission North in Merriam, Kansas. He then enlisted in the United States Navy during World War II and as a naval aviator had flight time in a variety of aircraft. He later earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business from University of Kansas. In 1965, his father approached Bud about a partnership in his computerized accounting firm. He instead chose an independent career (38 years) in sales and sales management with Abbott Laboratories living in Kansas, Illinois, California, Minnesota, and Washington State. During his successful career many recognized his innate ability to design and implement practical approaches to corporate strategies. He worked hard for those who worked for him, always wishing for them to succeed both in their work and personal lives. He developed many close friendships during his career and continued to cherish those relationships throughout his life. He was loyal husband who unselfishly cared for his wife during her final months battling cancer. They enjoyed and active life together with a wide circle of friends and many activities that included tennis, skiing, and sailing. As a father, he had a natural gift of intuitively knowing how to guide decisions without dictating, of fostering independence while remaining close, and demonstrating values of respect and love. He greatly enjoyed being a father and often remarked at how much fun he had raising his children. He held many delightful memories that were recounted over the years. During his last 25 years as a widower he remained active with Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club enjoyed his sailboat. “Bon Vivant”. He took great pride in his involvement in the Youth Sail Program and believed that by learning to sail a small boat one learns many important life lessons. He delighted in seeing young people experience the joy of sailing. In a letter of condolence written by a family friend it was aptly said: “Just like children do, wasn’t it sort of within his own personality to greet each day with anticipation and always look on the bright side and give new things a try? It appeared so to me. I saw him as bright in every way, and the world is a little darker right now without him and his smiles. I’m grateful he left us so “many bright memories”. www.memor ialwebsite.legacy.com/bud-brooks/ homepage.aspx 860663

The writing’s on the wall at the library

ll these years I’ve kept my favorite childhood book: a student dictionary. As a kid, I’d sit in my room and read it like a novel. The writing was on the wall that I’d grow up to work in a field related to books and language. Later, when I learned of the existence of a thesaurus, I discovered it was not a dinosaur, but a book designed especially for people like me who loved the way words sounded and how they looked on the page. In a further confession of admitted geekery, I would make lists of my Darcy Brixey favorite words so I could sound them out, memorize them and drop one or two into conversations. It made arguing with my siblings more entertaining. My sister was no longer a brat. She became a miscreant or urchin and an impudent one at that. I’m pleased with the recent art installation in the parking garage at the Bellevue Library. It’s a celebration of letters and language. This design, by local artist Buster Simpson, consists of black and white license plates that hang near the walkway between the garage and the library. Stamped on those plates are a variety of interesting words like henpeck, gleaned, and elitism. Naturally they hang in alphabetical order. There are words more common in every day speech like oldster or hipster or underused words like plumbum and milieux. If you like puzzles you will enjoy the collection inside the garage of random, multicolored vanity plates with vernacular words and phrases such as RNDROPS, BIONRG,

Bellevue artist Jan Jewell has been accepted as an artist-in-residence into the l’Atelier d’Artiste de Grande Vigne in Dinan, France, for the month of September.The purpose of the l’Atelier is to perpetuate a tradition that goes back to the end of the 18th century whereby artists from around the world are invited for a one-month stay to focus exclusively on their art. When accepted, the artist receives the use of a studio and housing in Dinan for one month in exchange for a painting, created while in Dinan and chosen by a selection committee. The painting is then put into the permanent collection of La Grande Vigne and will be used in exhibitions by the association. Jewell’s passion for painting the European countryside, old buildings,

boats and reflections led her to apply for the residency last fall. Her love of travel provides the subject matter for much of her work, which she describes as “Representational Impressionism.” She has painted in many locations in Europe, including Finland, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland and France, as well as all over the United States.

Seattle’s ACT Theatre announces 2013-2014 season A Contemporary Theatre has officially announced the 2014 main stage season, which will feature both classic and new productions. “The lineup of plays in 2014 is exactly the kind of season we aim for at ACT. It’s a mix that combines a classic heralded writer like Arthur Miller and puts his work right next to new exciting playwrights like Ayad

Akhtar and Laura Marks,” says artistic director Kurt Beattie. “This is a season about exploring the works of established masters of the theatre as well as boldly taking on new nail-biting and intoxicating works by the most exciting young writers working today.” ACT Theatre’s 49th Mainstage Season will appear as follows: “Little Shop of Hor-

rors” (Previews begin March 8); “Bethany” (Previews begin April 11); “The Price” (Previews begin May 30); “Triple Bill: An Evening of One Act Plays by Woody Allen, Steve Martin & Sam Shepard” (Previews begin July 18); “The Invisible Hand” (Previews begin September 5); “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” (Previews begin October 17)
