he Newcastle Historical Society, which this week will celebrate its annual Newcastle Days, was recently awarded a grant to preserve the small cemetery plot, buried with the coal miners and pioneer families that years ago called the Eastside home. The 2.2 acres to the west of Lake Boren was first set aside in 1880. Now owned by the city of Newcastle, the gravestones have been overgrown, vandalized and mostly forgotten. But as one of the last remnants of the once thriving Newcastle coal mining town, some neighbors are trying to change that. “There are just some incredible stories in that cemetery,” says Vickie Olson, a descendent of the locally famous Baima family. Olson plans to hold tours of the cemetery during Newcastle Days. She also is asking neighbors to come forward if they have stories to share themselves, or may know more about the plot’s
The Bellevue City Council has admitted to a sloppy selection process and possible conflicts of interest on the East Link Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC), appointed unanimously last month. A well attended council meeting Tuesday night opened with comments from a number of concerned neighbors who outlined their apprehensions about the lack of neighborhood representation and the appointment of at least two individuals thought to pose partiality. “I have to say some criticism is justified,” said Mayor Conrad Lee after a string of neighbor testimony. “We probably didn’t do as good of a job as we should have…There’s an opportunity to make the proper adjustments and corrections and we of course will.” Sixty people applied to be on the committee, of which nine were selected. They are intended to represent a range of experience as engineers, property owners, urban planners, business owners and artists. Approved at the Aug. 5 meeting were Erin Derrington, Clay Wallace, Richard Line, Don Miles, Ming-Fang Chang, Susan Rakow Anderson, Marcelle Lynde, Joel Glass and Doug Mathews, though as councilmember Kevin Wallace noted, the agenda item was voted on only at the last minute, during the final council meeting of the summer. “Regardless of the cause, the important thing is to correct this situation in an open, transparent manner that is sensitive to the two people who – through no fault of their own – were

Former Bellevue resident named director of Smithsonian museum Kirk Johnson, chief curator and vice president of research and collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, has been appointed the Sant Director of the National Museum of Natural History, effective Oct. 29. Johnson grew up in Bellevue and his father is a psychiatrist and long time Bellevue resident. As a vice president of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Johnson is part of a team that leads the museum and manages its $40 million annual budget. The museum, which receives 1.4 million visitors per year and has a staff of 400, launched a $170 million capital campaign in 2005. “Kirk brings an established national and international reputation as a top scientist, educator and museum administrator to the National Museum of Natural History,” said Wayne Clough, Secretary of the Smithsonian. “He is a perfect match to lead the museum—among the very best in the world—into the next decade.” Johnson succeeds Cristián Samper, who is leaving the Smithsonian to become president and CEO of the Wildlife Conservation Society headquartered in New York City. Johnson will oversee more than 460 employees, an annual federal budget of $68 million and a collection of more than 126 million specimens and artifacts — the largest collection at the Smithsonian. The Natural History Museum hosts an average of 7 million visitors a year. Its scientists publish about 500 scientific research contributions a year. “With his extensive experience in research, collections and use of social media for public outreach, Kirk will greatly enhance all we do at the National Museum of Natural History,” said Eva J. Pell, Smithsonian Under Secretary for Science. “I look forward to working with him.” Johnson has a bachelor’s degree in geology and fine arts from Amherst College, a master’s degree in geology and paleobotany from the University of Pennsylvania and a
doctorate in geology and paleobotany from Yale University. “Natural history museums are incredible places where people have the opportunity to Kirk Johnson interact with COURTESY PHOTO, Forrest Gibson, Denver scientists, Museum of Nature & Science scientific discovery and to experience the wonders of the world,” said Johnson. “As a scientist and a communicator, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead the nation’s natural history museum into the 21st century.” As chief curator at the Denver museum, Johnson oversees a 70-person research and collections division (including curators, registrars, librarians, archivists, conservators, technicians, administrators and assistants) and manages its $3.5 million annual budget. He is responsible for the museum’s 24 collections, and he led the completion of the museum’s first comprehensive longterm collections and research plan. He has served as a curator of paleontology since he joined the museum in 1991. Johnson’s research includes the study of the geology and fossil plants of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains from 34 million to 145 million years ago. He also studies the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary extinction event and the origin of major ecological communities known as biomes. Between October 2010 and July 2011, he led an excavation in Snowmass Village, Colo., that recovered more than 5,400 bones of mammoths, mastodons and other ice age animals.

Students work to clean Slough
September 6, 2013 [3]
UW Bothell class learns about water problems by canoe The students in Rob Turner’s Estuaries In Trouble summer course probably had no idea their classroom would take the shape of a floating garbage patrol on the Sammamish Slough. But Turner said the best way to learn is by doing. “I want the students to understand how pollutants from the land around the Puget Sound are causing its degradation,” said Turner, who teaches at UW Bothell. The slough runs from Lake Sammamish, which borders Bellevue, through Redmond and Bothell. Turner found a hands-on learning opportunity through a community partnership with Puget Soundkeeper Alliance. Their mission is to protect and preserve the waters of Puget Sound by monitoring, cleaning up and preventing pollutants from entering its waters. On Friday, Aug. 9, class was in session at the Park at Bothell Landing. A local kayaking company outfitted the students and taught basic river safety and Puget Soundkeeper Alliance explained the morning’s river mission as students were armed with nets and monitoring devices. Mycole Brown, a biology major said he expected to find plastic, oil, and knowledge. “I hope to gain a better understanding of the health of rivers and of the various instruments we use," he said. Turner says he wants this experience to have a long lasting impact on the students and the environment. “I hope the students will be jazzed at doing this type of citizen science that can

have an impact on the quality of the water,” he said. He added that he also hopes the students will volunteer again. And Puget Soundkeeper Alliance could use the help. The Sammamish River is sixth in their clean-up quest of 12 Rivers in 12 Months. Haley Duke, a senior majoring in environmental studies, said this first-hand experience won’t be her last and she issued an invitation. “I hope to help today and I encourage everybody in the community to do this work.”

EDITORIAL
Thumbs up; Thumbs down
For the Seattle Seahawks, who have given sports fans around here reason for optimism after winning all their pre-season games. Yes, it was only the pre-season, but if their promise holds true, the Hawks will be the talk of the town through winter. For the weather. Yes, everyone complains about it but really, temperatures in the 70s and rain. Since when did we become the East Coast?
For an initiative at Sammamish High School that will see each freshman student given a laptop computer this year. This may seem like an extravagance to some, but today’s world – and education – more and more are driven by the use of computers. For the Bellevue school bus driver who didn’t stop when two young crossing guards at an elementary school began to hold up their “stop” paddles to let pedestrians cross the school’s driveway. For the Bellevue City Council, that did the right thing Tuesday night when it said it would reexamine people appointed to a committee that will advise the city, community and neighborhoods impacted by East Link during the permit review process. The council admitted the final decision was rushed.
For Eastside Baby Corner that is having a Pants Party on Saturday to collect kids’ clothing for needy families. While the Issaquah-based organization serves families across the Eastside with such things as baby formula and diapers, we often forget that families struggle to provide clothing for their older children, too. Gather up items your kids have outgrown. Eastside Baby Corner will be waiting with open arms from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its headquarters, 1510 NW Maple St. in Issaquah. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

The $15 an hour problem
T
he SeaTac minimum wage initiative is in limbo. The central element of that city’s Proposition 1 is a $15 per hour minimum wage for workers at SeaTac Airport and area hotels, restaurants and car rental agencies. But, it also includes a complex web of employee work rules enforced by the city of SeaTac. On Aug. 26, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that Prop 1 did not have enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Proponents have gathered additional signatures and appealed the judge’s ruling. Regardless of what happens in SeaTac, the issue of a higher minimum wage will come before voters. The Service EmDon Brunell ployees International Union (SEIU) is organizing protests by fast food workers and others here and across the nation, demanding a $15 hourly minimum wage. Because of that, it’s important to understand the consequences — intended and unintended — of such measures. Although Washington has the highest minimum wage in the nation — $9.19 per hour indexed to inflation — supporters say it’s not enough. In addition to a $15 hourly wage, Prop 1 specifies worker retention procedures and details the conditions under which employees can take sick leave. Opponents say it’s tantamount to a union contract enforced by the city. Ironically, the initiative can be waived in union contracts, even if the union jobs pay less than $15 per hour. This would have had the effect of pressuring employers to agree to union contracts to avoid its provisions — although supporters aren’t publicizing that point. Another problem with Prop 1 is that 90 percent of the
workers it benefits live outside the city of SeaTac, yet city taxpayers are on the hook for enforcement costs. In addition, Prop 1 is unfair. It would establish a two-tier wage structure in which some employees earn 63 percent more than others doing the same work. Of course, we would all like people to have better jobs and more money, but this isn’t the way to do it. Historically, minimum wage jobs have been the first rung on the ladder for millions of young people entering the job market — a place to learn work skills and gain experience. Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be a career, but rather the beginning of a career path. For example, Scott Ostrander started as a bellman, carrying guests’ luggage for $2.13 per hour and tips. Today, he’s general manager of the Cedarbrook Lodge, one of the hotels targeted by the initiative. Washington is already a high-cost state for employers, with the nation’s highest workers’ comp benefits and fifthhighest unemployment insurance benefits. When you add to those costs, something has to give. In this case, it’s jobs. A study by the Washington Research Council (WRC) estimates that increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour will eliminate 5 to 10 percent of those jobs. In the end, you might have higher paying jobs, but fewer of them.Is that what we want? In addition, the research council says the initiative would push out many workers as more qualified applicants, attracted by the higher wages, flood into SeaTac to take those jobs. So, if not Proposition 1, what? In the short term, all minimum wage workers should be informed about the federal Earned Income Tax Credit, SEE BRUNELL, 5

Time to just observe birthdays
I
observed my birthday in August. ‘Observed’ as opposed to ‘celebrated.’ I stopped celebrating at 60. In contrast to the kind of celebrations birthdays dictate at age 21, at a certain point they call for less concern over parties and gifts and more time spent in reflection. My reflections began with asking myself what I did last year. Also, do I remember what I did? Did I accomplish anything? Taking a longer look back, are there dreams I’ve stored up waiting for the right time to pursue – a bucket list of sorts? What came to mind on this birthday is time and the apparent supersonic speed at which it passes. I’ve read that one reason Ann Oxrieder for our perception that time goes faster as we get older is that we have our regular routines and few surprises to interrupt them. Unlike teenagers, for whom time creeps, we generally know what to expect from life and our routines create the impression that time is racing by. What also creates that perception is that it is racing by.
BRUNELL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
which provides up to $6,044 per year for low-income working families. For the lowest level workers, that’s equivalent to a $3 per hour wage hike. The long-term solution is economic growth. As the economy expands, more jobs are created and employers compete for workers with higher salaries and better benefits. Trying to artificially impose higher wages will slow job creation — the opposite of what we need and want. Don Brunell is the president of the Association of Washington Business.

I like what I did this year, because I was creative, traveled, exercised regularly, made new friends, and still kept up with most of the old ones. My bucket list is short – finish my book and start another, do a little traveling, keep healthy, keep laughing, be open to new adventures, don’t let go of friends, try to accept what comes with grace. I subscribe to the To Do Institute’s newsletter, “Thirty Thousand Days,” (the number represents an eighty-two-year life span). In the latest issue I read that “nearly every type of psychological disorder is characterized by a heightened degree of self-focused attention.” The newsletter’s advice to counteract this obsession with ourselves is to write haiku. As you prepare to write one of these 17-syllable poems, “you are looking at clouds, flowers, insects, dogs, and other people,” and you’re “giving attention to the world around you,” and not just to yourself. Good advice for all of us. Despite its benefits, I’m not sure haiku is for me. I routinely violate my 300-word maximum for this column. Imagine me trying to capture something in seventeen syllables. A friend of mine still teases me about the time we met for coffee about a year before I left work and I expressed the fear that if I retired I might lose my identity, as closely tied to my work as it seemed to be. I’ve learned since then that, thankfully, my identity is not the same thing as my work and it’s pretty hard to lose. As the saying goes, “We take ourselves with us wherever we go.” 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/.

Volunteer transportation driver solves problems for seniors When Calvin Wang of Bellevue heads out to give a senior citizen a ride to a doctor's office or dental clinic, he makes sure he has a Sudoku book in hand. The 9x9 number puzzle helps him pass the time in his role as a driver for Senior Services's volunteer transfer program. “It teaches you how to use your thinking cap, Wang said, who has helped at the organization since 2009. "It’s all about logic.” That's paid dividends to his passengers over the years. Once, as Wang drove a woman who was very unsteady with her cane, he no-
ticed that she wobbled and as she moved. Ever the problem-solver, he introduced the concept of the quad cane to her. A quad cane, he explained, is a four-footed cane that offers four Calvin Wang points of contact with the ground instead of just one. It provides much more support and stability than traditional canes. On his next trip with the woman, Wang was happy to see the same frail client using a four-pronged cane. She had taken his
advice and reported a newfound sense of steadiness and ease as she walked. On several other occasions, Calvin observed a problem with clients using walkers. As they attempted to go through doorways (especially those in their homes), they had to awkwardly turn their walkers sideways because they were just a tad bit too wide to fit. The problem made simple tasks, like getting to the bathroom, challenging. Wang soon discovered that the front wheels on walkers are traditionally on the apparatus’s outside poles. However, they easily can be removed with a push/pull
button and switched to the inside poles, taking away about 1.5 inches from the total width. With this quick fix, clients were able to go in and out of doorways without any trouble. Calvin believes he has completed this outside-to-inside wheel swap on about four walkers. “I just do whatever I can to help out,” Wang said. More information about the volunteer transfer program is available at www. seniorservices.org/transportation, at hilaryc@seniorservices.org, or by calling 206-748-7588.

KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter HourScene was choosing the right color of purple for the app because different screens show the color in different ways. They chose purple because it stood out from the other colors associated with existing social media apps. "Me and my girlfriend probably went through 200 different variations of purple." The other challenge? Getting the word out. "You could have a great app, but if you don't market it properly, no one will know about it." That's why they'll be taking the app on the road, to the Las Vegas Foodie Festival next April, where they hope to share HourScene with a new audience. Javier said he plans on developing other applications in the future, but for now, HourScene is his passion. "I really like social networking and I wish people would post stuff more publicly." HourScene is available to iPhone users for free now. Javier and his team hope to roll out a new version for Android and Windows in the next few months. Ultimately, they hope to launch HourScene worldwide. The HourScene app is developed by Dynamic Intel Group, LLC, a mobile application company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bellevue.

You may have heard the statement before: "Tweet it on Twitter, post it on Facebook – and take a picture on Instagram." But if Bellevue resident Julius Javier, 29, has anything to say about it, you might want to add another line: "see it on HourScene." That's the new "social discovery" application Javier and his team have been working on over the past few months – and it might just be the next big thing in social networking. The app allows users to rediscover social networking as it was intended to be – for the public by the public. "We want people that are currently posting things in private to share things that are cool and interesting with the public," Javier said. When users login to HourScene they can discover public Scenes that are posted on the hour on their favorite social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by searching keywords or hashtag. "I wanted to create an app where people can search all the hashtags they see in one place," Javier said. “It’s easy to search for hashtags, events, sports, news, trends, deals, anything to discover your Scene." Users who download the free app can also share their discovered Scenes with others and view what Scenes are trending on the hour, as well as view public Scenes across the world with the map view. Javier first came up with the idea for HourScene about a year ago while working on another app called Mega Bite. When he realized the market for app.-based food ordering was over-saturated, he decided to abandon the project and focus on HourScene. "I wanted to show people that social media is about more than being private," said Javier, who also works as a support engineer for an e-commerce company on the Eastside. HourScene came to be because of a small, but effective team that includes two remote developers, Javier's girlfriend (who deals with the legal side of the business). "We're kind of keeping it in the family," Javier said. His cousin recently joined the team to work with advertisers and help develop the "Featured Scenes" tool they intend to launch next month. The tool, which is expected to launch next month will allow companies to sponsor individual hashtags. When users see sponsored Featured Scenes that they like, they can save them and redeem them later or share them with the world; businesses will be charged per click. Javier said they plan to reach out to local business for the "featured Scenes" section before growing their network. Javier said one of the biggest hurdles in developing

Property borhoods impacted by East Link during the owners living near the alignment were particularly encouraged, though those immediately abutting it were told not to apply because of a possible conflict of interest. For that reason the appointment of Clay Wallace whose home address is listed along 112th, raised eyebrows. Others suggested that there may be additional conflicts of interest. Applications opened in June and the deadline was extended through the end of the month. “Having been involved in big projects before – even light rail projects – there’s always a lot of confusion and a lack of clarity sometimes for the community,” explained Susan Rakow Anderson, who said she’d retired shortly before the CAC applications opened and noted that it was her husband who pointed out the announcement in the paper and suggested she apply with her qualifications. A retired civil engineer her past work includes serving as the project manager for BergerABAM, which was selected as the primary consultant by Sound Transit to lead civil and structural design of the Mount Baker station and other corridors along ST’s Central Link alignment.

But residents were most worried about two immediate conflicts of interest, an individual with past work experience with Sound Transit and a property owner immediately abutting the light rail line.

“I’m hoping this is an opportunity to clarify what the design does…It should be a tremendous opportunity,” she added. Anderson said she offers an objective voice: “I’m in a different role, rather than working directly for Sound Transit, I’m on the other side working for the city to ensure that Sound Transit designers do the right thing and understand the process.” As the meeting came to a close, the council passed a motion to reevaluate the CAC appointees, agreeing that some valid concerns had been raised. “This was served in the last meeting of the summer,” said councilmember Wallace. “We didn’t think through the appointments…as it turns out, in addition to the conflicts of interest, the [CAC] is devoid of representation of any community leaders from Surrey Downs, Enatai or Lake Bellevue and I think these communities are bearing the brunt of the project.” Councilmember Don Davidson said he had a map of appointees’ home addresses and would hang it in the Council Chambers for review. Based on Tuesday’s conversation, changes would likely be modest, said Brennan and applicants would be pulled from the current pool. The council indicated that it would move quickly to ensure that a selection was made in time to impact the permit review process. Brennan explained that because of the volume of applications and the limited time before break, appointments had been made based on information available in the applications, with the intent of further vetting them after the fact. “[On Tuesday] the city council restated its desire to give people who are impacted by the project an opportunity to weigh in either through appointment of the CAC or through other means,” said Brennan. “We’re going to work very hard to ensure that direction is brought to reality.”

While many items are donated by the public, Eastside Baby Corner does purchase food, formula, diapers, car seats, socks, underwear and porta-cribs because they are things that are absolutely needed for a new baby coming home for the first time. Formula for babies is a must, and at $16 for a can of Similac that lasts three days, the cost adds up fast, she said. Diapers are the biggest need. Eastside Baby Corner has increased its distribution of diapers more than 50 percent from the same time period, January to August, over last year. Food stamps or WIC (Women, Infants and Children Food and Nutrition Service) cannot be used for diapers.

unmarked graves. “Back in those days a lot of people didn’t have the resources to put in a permanent marker. They maybe put up a wooden marker or a ring of stones around the grave site. We don’t really have good records,” says Olson. “That was before Washington was a state… The whole point, the thrust of this really is to get the word out.” Olson also has been weekly recording and interviewing talks with Milt Swanson, who at 95 is the last living artifact of the Eastside’s coal mining days. Swanson worked alongside his father and cousin as a machinist for B&R Coal, one of several companies that operated out of the region. It’s all part of the Newcastle Historical Society’s efforts to memorialize a sliver of the city and the greater Eastside’s past. Olson says that the $9,500 from the awarded grant from arts organization 4Culture, will first go toward a survey of the cemetery, to assess what preservation is possible. She asks that anyone with information either contact her directly or reach out to her during Newcastle Days, Saturday Sept. 7.

Overlake Medical Center surgeon completes 100th robotic procedure
Japanese cultural event at BC this weekend Japan comes to Bellevue College this weekend for a two-day program of cultural and educational events for all ages. Aki Matsuri will include martial art demonstrations by local dojo members, puppet shows, tea ceremony and Ikebana demonstrations. There also will be a Japanese-style flea market.” Admission and parking are free. Fees apply to some workshops and the Saturday concert. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 and from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8 in the Bellevue College gym and in buildings C, D, E and R. The college is located at 3000 Landerholm Circle SE.
Gallbladder removed through patient’s belly button Eiji Minami, MD, a surgeon at Overlake Medical Center, performed his 100th da Vinci Single-Site Cholecystectomy on Thursday, July 25. The patient’s gallbladder was removed through one tiny incision in the belly button, making the procedure virtually scarless. Gallbladder removal is known as a cholecystectomy and can be performed using open surgery through a large incision, minimally invasively through a few small incisions or through one small incision in the belly button. The Food and Drug Administration cleared the specialized Single-Site instruments for use with the da Vinci System in December 2011. da Vinci is a robotic surgical system widely used in complex minimally invasive surgery. Minami was trained on the da Vinci Surgical System in December 2011 and attended further advanced Single-Site training in May, 2012. He was one of the first surgeons in the area to offer laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the 1990s.
"Neither robotic surgery nor singleincision surgery is new, but combining the two to remove the gallbladder requires additional training and special equipment," said Helene Schultz, Overlake’s director of surgery. "To be one of the most experienced hospitals to offer this technically advanced surgery demonstrates Overlake’s leadership in providing patients with the most up-todate minimally invasive surgical options." Potential benefits of single-site gallbladder surgery may include virtually scarless results, minimal pain, low blood loss, fast recovery, a short hospital stay and high patient satisfaction. The surgery can be performed in about one hour with a typical hospital stay of less than 24 hours. Overlake Medical Center offers various types of robotic-assisted surgeries. In addition to gallbladder removal, Overlake surgeons perform robotic-assisted surgery in colorectal, urology, general surgery, gynecology and weight loss surgery.

Tae Kwon Do fundraiser helps student diagnosed with Leukemia
Newport senior wins martial arts competition in Missouri
BY JOSH SUMAN
Steven Kim, a senior at Newport High School and student at Master Cho’s Taekwondo in Factoria, won a Gold Medal recently at a national competition in Missouri. His instructor, Master Cho Ki Rak, is a seventh degree black belt and trains students from around the region, even working with the Seattle Police Department. Master Cho’s Taekwondo is located at 4038 Factoria Blvd. SE Ste. C.
BELLEVUE REPORTER
For a youngster as active as Chad Williams, a few bumps and bruises were nothing new. When he began complaining about soreness in his feet and back, his parents chalked it up to raucous games of flag football and basketball or one of his sessions at Kukki Tae Kwon Do, where he had already earned a black belt. They took him to see a doctor when he continued to display flu-like symptoms in the following weeks and months, but were told it was likely nothing more than a virus. But when his mother Cindy saw her usually exuberant son stop short of the kitchen one morning on his way to breakfast, she knew something was amiss. “I just happened to put my hand on his leg to talk to him and he was so hot,” she said. “They thought maybe he had strep throat or something else that wasn’t showing other symptoms.” The visit included a blood draw, mostly precautionary they thought, and two days later revealed a possibility any parent would shudder at the thought of. “They told us to pack a bag and get to Children’s Hospital right away,” Williams said. “They said Chad might have Leukemia.” For the Williams family, the following weeks and months were a blur of medical appointments, visits with specialists at Children’s and coordinating schedules to fit in treatments that have already included spinal taps, a chest board
Master Sanghoon Park and Kukki employee Mia Seul put together a fundraiser for Williams. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter and more needle pokes than any of them care to remember. “I was in shock for a couple of months,” Williams said. “I couldn’t tell you a word they said.” As the initial impact of the news began to wane, the family centered its focus on the future and how they would continue to provide some semblance of normalcy for their young son, who now faced the grim realities of chemotherapy, time away from school and isolation from friends. When his blood counts climb high enough, Chad is able to swim at one of several community pools in the neighborhood where family friends have provided access. But the previous activities he loved so much: football, basketball, Tae Kwon Do, were only a distant memory. SEE CHAD, 15
Richard’s Run back in Bellevue with new name, same goal For the past two years, community members and supporters of the cause of eradicating cancer have gathered in Medina to raise money and share stories. This year, they will be joined by a Pacific Northwest legend, of mythical proportions. Richard’s Run is back under a new name, YETI (Youth Encouraged Through Inspiration) Run, and will take place Saturday, Sept. 28. The run will once again go to support Seattle Children’s Hospital after the event raised more than $31,000 in 2012. The 5K run and walk begins at 8:30 a.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 8398 NE 12th St. and on-site registration begins at 7 a.m. Entry fees are $30 for an individual and $60 for a family in advance and five dollars more on the day of the event. Online registration is available at the event’s website.
Prep football season kicks off tonight

Bellevue takes on Skyline on Saturday The 2013 prep football season kicks off tonight at fields around the state and a pair of teams from the area are looking to get back to the state tournament. Bellevue, winners of the past five 3A state titles, will open the season Saturday at renovated Husky Stadium against the two-time defending 4A state champs from Skyline in the 7 p.m. finale of the Emerald City Kickoff Classic. The two did not meet last year as Bellevue made another undefeated run to the state championship and last played in 2011, a 31-17 Bellevue win at Skyline. The Spartans were also the last team to hand Bellevue a defeat, winning 28-21 in 2010. Newport begins life after two-way superstar Isaac Dotson with a trip to Olympia to face Capital. The Knights, which made the first round of the state tournament last year before falling 41-14 to Mead, lost 2922 to Capital last season. Sammamish and head coach Brian Tucci hope to get back in the win column after going winless last season and open in Duvall against 2A Cedarcrest. The Red Wolves won 41-28 at Sammamish to open last season. Interlake begins the Dave Myers era against 4A Issaquah, which made the 4A playoffs last year. The Saints finished with a 3-7 record last year, losing 2413 to the Eagles in the season opener.

As word spread in the community about Chad’s diagnosis and obvious financial implications surrounding medical costs, friends began circulating cards at churches and places where the family had ties as a show of support and to raise any funds they could to assist. When Master Park and fellow Kukki Tae Kwon Do employee Mia Seul heard about the family’s situation, they decided to help in the only way they knew how: breaking boards. Park invited all of his own students as well as others in the community to come break a board at Kukki with proceeds raised going to help the Williams family with expenses. Nearly 50 students and their families showed up to break a board for a cause and Park said they were able to raise around $1,200 to donate. “Our students and us, the relationship is like family,” Seul said. When Cindy Williams heard of the fundraiser, the emotion overcame her. “I was in tears,” she said. “It’s just a beautiful gesture.” Other friends have worked with the local Eagles to host a spaghetti feed and Williams said the outpouring of support has been overwhelming.

Chad’s Scout troop secured an iPad to use during long waits at appointments and Woodridge School set up an account for the family on Caring Bridge, a website devoted to facilitating the support process. Still more friends have organized the neighborhood through a TakeThemAMeal.com, which has allowed those in the community to coordinate on providing meals. With a three-year chemotherapy treatment plan ahead of him, the family is taking nothing for granted. “We’re accepting all the well-wishes,” Cindy said. “We don’t know where we will be in three years.”

Sammamish students getting laptops to aid studies
Every freshman at Sammamish High School will go home this fall with a new tool to help get their high school education off to a great start – a new laptop to use in class and take home with them. The Bellevue School District is launching a One-to-One Laptop pilot program for Sammamish ninth grade students. Approximately 300 new laptops will be checked out during the first weeks of school.The goal of the pilot program is to provide a laptop for every incoming SHS freshman in order to support deeper student engagement and increase students’ ability to actively engage in problembased learning. School officials said Sammamish is an ideal location for the pilot program. As freshmen, Sammamish students take four yearlong courses:Honors Freshman
Composition and Literature, AP Human Geography, Biology/Chemistry and Math.All courses are seen as demanding the regular use of technology to collaborate, communicate and develop high quality student work. At the same time, Sammamish teachers are working to transform courses to incorporate problem-based learning (PBL), which engages students and teachers in high-level projects and problems. The concept is based on the idea that real learning only happens when students are confronted with a problem that needs to be solved. In order to find problems for courses, the Sammamish staff has increased ties to the professional community to find problems that are being solved in the real world. In order to solve these authentic
problems, students work collaboratively with their peers, their teachers and community and industry professionals. Computer technology is part of the work. Individual laptops also allow for instruction tailored to meet an individual student’s needs.They also provide an opportunity for continuous assessment, as well as anywhere, anytime access for both students and parents, school officials add. “We’re thrilled to be taking a leading role in implementing one-to-one technology in Bellevue,” says Sammamish Principal Tom Duenwald.“We believe that all students having access to technology when they need it is a crucial piece of making sure that our students are college and career ready in the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] areas when they graduate.”
Internet safety and reliability of technology tools are very important to the district. All student laptops are loaded with software to keep the student safe and prevent malicious code from affecting them.The laptops have the same security used on all district computers and prevent students from installing applications and viewing inappropriate internet sites. The $500,000 cost of the pilot project is paid for with current technology levy funds.In addition to the laptops, the project also includes professional development for teachers.If the pilot project is successful, and technology levy funds are available, the program eventually will be expanded to all high schools and middle schools district-wide.

Frances S. Burd passed away peacefully on August 23, 2013 in Yakima, Washington, with her three daughters by her side. She was born Frances Jeanne Stickles on October 19, 1921, and lived in southern California during her childhood and early adult years. After marrying Sherman K. Burd, she moved to the Pacific NW where she graduated from the University of Washington. She and Sherm spent nearly all of their 72 years of married life in the house they purchased in Bellevue in 1948. Sherm preceded her in death last December. Her sharp memory of people, events and connections was her strong suit making this big world a little smaller. Frances had a gift for nurturing things and watching them grow. She accomplished this with her beautiful yard, her garden, and especially her girls Janice Kay (Jon), Nancy Rae (Geoff) and Stephanie Jeanne (Steve). Besides her daughters she is survived by her loving grandsons Andrew Conrad (Melissa), Benjamin Conrad (Melissa), Ian Mallahan, Peter Weise (Jessica), and Joel Weise. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 14, at 11:00 am at the Lodge at Beaver Lake, 25101 SE 24th St, Sammamish, WA. Frances and Sherm dedicated themselves to maintaining and improving their south Bellevue neighborhood so that it would remain the family-friendly place their girls enjoyed when they were growing up. In lieu of flowers the family asks that contributions be made to: Bellecrest Neighborhood Association, Attn: Erin Powell, 1015 106th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98004 A community in which Frances lived and loved and called home for 65 years.

6 back-to-school tips to help your child
A look at Bellevue’s past
Bellevue’s Coal Creek Park
3. Reestablish a schedule. Talk with your child about the school-day routine, including wake-up time, school hours, homework time, dinner time and any extracurricular activities in which he or she will participate during the week. In the week or two before school, try to have your child go to bed and wake up at approximately the same times as during the school year. 4. Review school work and information. Being prepared will help your child ease into the first weeks of school. Review assignments, spelling words and other work from the previous school year. Amp up the reading these final few weeks of summer. And find out as much as possible about what is to come: your child’s teacher, class schedule, classroom locations and more. 5. Set a positive tone. A child who struggled last year might dread going back to school, so it is important to help him or her get into the right mindset for school success. Let your child know that you are there to support him or her no matter what. Talk about things he or she is looking forward to this year – and offer ideas if he or she needs some encouragement – and point out some of the good parts of last year. Be optimistic and encourage your child to embrace the same outlook. 6. Arrange for tutoring help if needed. More information about the Bellevue center is available at 425-643-9938 or via email at RiddickB@hlcmail.com.
Bellevue’s Coal Creek Park borders the Cougar Mountain Wildlife Park in King County. Coal Creek is the city of Bellevue’s largest natural resource park and was once the site of a thriving mining town. There are still mine shafts, exposed coal streams and mining equipment visible in the park as well as building remnants from different buildings and mine operations in the town – the hotel, a coal bunker, the wood flume, which directed Coal Creek, and a railroad turntable foundation. The first settlement, Old Newcastle, was located near today’s 136th Avenue Southeast, just west of the golf course. By 1890 there were approximately 500 residents. By 1920 population was close to 1,000. In 1863, a survey party led by Edwin Richardson discovered eight bands of "stone cole" while working up a

stream from Lake Washington. Hundreds of people soon flocked to the region intent on earning a living as coal miners. When the last mines closed in 1963, over 11 million tons of coal had been extracted. Coal was King County’s first large industry, helping Seattle become a major port city, as it shipped coal to San Francisco from 1870 to 1930. Today the park offers lots
of great hiking trails, easy access to Cougar Mountain and by the end of 2013, seven new interpretive signs, thanks to 4-Culture and the Eastside Heritage Center.

It is back-to-school time, and if your student’s summer has been filled with trips to the pool, hanging out with friends, television and video games, and other leisurely activities, now is the time to transition from summer to school mode. “We always encourage families to relax and enjoy the less structured pace of summertime,” says Brian Riddick of the Bellevue Huntington Learning Center. “However, there are several things you can do toward the end of summer break that are immensely helpful in getting students ready to return to the classroom.” Riddick offers these six back-to-school tips: 1. Set goals. Goal-setting is a great way to help your child reflect on last school year and think ahead about what he or she wants to accomplish and avoid this year. Talk with your child about the things he or she is excited and anxious about and have him or her set several goals and measurable milestones. You can do this just before classes start or during the first week of school. 2. Organize the desk and home. Get your house back into “school shape” by designating spots for important school papers that come home, a family calendar, backpacks, shoes and jackets, and a homework station. Your child’s homework station could be a desk in a bedroom or other room. Make sure it is stocked with the supplies he or she will need for the school year, and have your child help get the space ready.

Xanadu to open at Village Theatre Roller-Disco and Greek Mythology Collide on stage Real life husband and wife Dane Stokinger (Sonny Malone) and Jessica Skerritt (Kira/Clio) will perform together at the Village Theatre in the spirited tongue-in-cheek musical comedy based on the 1980 film of the same name, Xanadu. Stokinger and Skerritt met in 2007 on Village Theatre’s stage playing Elvis and Elvis’ girlfriend in Million Dollar Quartet. This fall they will strap on their skates for this hilarious musical-on-wheels. Ancient mythology collides with the world of disco as the Greek muse Kira descends from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, Calif. Love, jealousy and synthesizer music abound as Kira inspires struggling artist Sonny to achieve the greatest artistic creation of his life — the world’s first roller-disco. The musical
score includes the hits, “I’m Alive,” “Suddenly” and “Magic” originated by the British rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). The original 1980 film version starring Hollywood heavyweights Olivia

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home For Sale Bellevue - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short ofrequirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away
altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-866-252-2302 and enter 7425. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.
