Spiritwood neighbors get emergency ordinance, victory BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

On Monday, the Bellevue City Council passed a new emergency interim ordinance to address a housing model that has taken off in Bellevue. Concerns about the growing prevalence of multi-room rentals in single-family homes was first brought to

the attention of council in June of this year by Spiritwood neighbors. “Three and a half months later we’re acting on it,” said councilmember John Chelminiak, one of a number of councilmembers, city staff and candidates who toured Spiritwood to find themselves in agreement with residents that the housing model

required an urgent solution. “We promised that we’d give you a good close look at it and I think we’ve delivered on that.” In May, residents noticed that at least five of the houses in their cul-de-sac had been purchased and renovated by investors. One home in particular, which neighbors referred to as a “mega house,” had been

outfitted with eight bedrooms. The structure dwarfed all adjacent homes. Neighbors reported seeing Craigslist postings and suspected the houses were functioning as informal “dorms” because Bellevue College had recently added additional four-year SEE SPIRITWOOD, 16

Pot zoning – where will Bellevue put it? BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Saffi has performed on a hoop suspended from the ceiling and been shot out of a cannon, just to name a few acts. She’s also extremely practiced in the art of making audience members “ooh and ahh,” having taken this talent to the stages of Teatro ZinZanni, Moisture Festival and Cirque Dreams Illumination.

Bellevue City Council members don't want to block recreational marijuana sales here, but they are looking at ways to head off where the four approved retail stores in the city can be located. The Washington State Liquor Control Board anticipates approving rules for growing, processing and selling recreational marijuana on Oct. 16 to take effect 30 days after, said WSLCB spokesman Mikhail Carpenter. A tentative date for prospective marijuana retailers, producers and processors to apply for licensure is Nov. 18. King County has been approved for 61 retail outlets out of the 334 to be allowed statewide based on population and consumption data compiled by the Rand Corporation, a subcontractor through the liquor board's consultant, BOTEC. There also will be 11 at-large stores that would be allotted to unallocated areas across Washington. “We anticipate we will get more applications than there are licenses," Carpenter said, "which means there will probably be a lottery to decide who would get a license.” Voter-approved Initiative 502, which legalized small amounts of marijuana for adults, does not allow cities to prohibit the opening of retail stores, but does prevent the shops from being 1,000 linear feet from areas where children congregate, such as schools, playgrounds, parks and recreation and public transit centers. The city of Bellevue has been under an interim zoning ordinance regarding medical marijuana "collective gardens" for the past 18 months to avoid harming residential neighborhoods by only allowing them in zoned light industrial, general commercial and medical areas. Councilmembers will receive further recommendations from the planning commission Oct. 7 where a discussion about recreational zoning locations also will occur, said Emily Christensen, city communications director. “We've kind of been waiting for the state liquor board to determine how the permits would be issued, and the

Bellevue girl finds circus skills a hit BY GABRIELLE NOMURA SPECIAL TO THE BELLEVUE REPORTER

For the majority of 12 year olds, extracurricular activities are all about self-improvement: Mastering the art of shooting a ball through a basket, speaking a new language or learning a dance move. Saffi Watson, a Tillicum Middle School sixth-grader and Bellevue resident, knows all about practice.

The talented contortionist and gymnast can hold her limbs in an evermoving sculpture, like a living work of origami art. Saffi’s hands know the floor well; she’s used to resting her entire body weight on them in a variety of poses. In these handstands, her ballerina-like feet hover high above her head. With a smile on her face, she radiates warmth and poise during her performances.

Sen. Tom honored as top lawmaker by Association of Washington Business Sen. Rodney Tom, who became Senate majority leader after Democrat and Republican senators formed a bipartisan coalition ahead of the 2013 legislative session, has been named winner of the 2013 Jim Matson Award by the Association of Washington Business. Tom, D-Bellevue, and Sen. Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, who teamed up to direct the Senate’s work this year, will share the highest honor given by AWB to a legislator. It’s named for the late Sen. Jim Matson, a veteran lawmaker from Selah who served on the association’s executive committee during the 1970s and 1980s, and recognizes a state legislator who consistently supports issues important to Washington’s employers.

“Our majority coalition set out to leave the chaos and gridlock to Washington, D.C., and focus on three things," Tom told the association. "One is to lay the foundation for a vibrant economy. Another is to build a world-class education system – when I said we would put education first this year, we meant it, and we did so at both the K-12 and collegiate levels. Also, we were determined to create a sustainable budget that lives within the means provided by the taxpayers." Tom noted while coming to an agreement on the budget took more days than anyone expected, "we moved ahead on all three fronts this year – and accomplished that with an unprecedented level of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans."

Mammograms truly can save a person’s life

very week, more than 100 women in Washington state are diagnosed with breast cancer. The good news is, when caught early, a woman’s five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 98 percent. This is why Komen Puget Sound is such a passionate advocate for regular mammograms. Yet, too often I hear stories of women diagnosed in the late stages of this disease, when the chances for survival are significantly less. There are so many reasons for putting off a mammogram. Perhaps you think “I have plenty of time,” or “it won’t happen to me.” But the simple fact is a mammogram can save your life. Another fact: When breast cancer hits, it affects your entire family. At Komen Puget Sound, we bring this Mona Locke personal sense of urgency to the work we do every day, as we have for the past 20 years. Today, Komen Puget Sound is the single largest funder of free mammograms to low-income and uninsured women. Luisa Lavalle was one of the more than 3,100 people to receive free mammograms provided by Komen Puget Sound last year. Here is what Luisa shared with us: “My breast cancer was aggressive, and I know that if I had waited a few months more, the outcome would have been much different. Without Komen, I probably would not have had my mammogram in time. I know it saved my life.” I am proud of what we have accomplished for Luisa and thousands of women like her, yet I am even more mindful of all that still needs to be done. Too many of us have lost a wife, a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend to breast cancer. Please join our local fight against breast cancer. To learn more about Komen Puget Sound, visit us online at komenpugetsound.org. Together we can and will save lives in our community, and ultimately end breast cancer forever. Mona Locke is interim executive director, Komen Puget Sound

The Petri Dish

The point man for charter schools

oshua Halsey is about to become one of the most important people in public education in Washington. For a few more days he’ll manage the South King County Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Learning Network — a mouthful of jargon for a job guiding an $11 million program to improve achievement of 117,000 students with creative and cutting-edge instructional techniques. On Oct. 7, he’ll begin work as the first executive director of the Washington State Charter School Commission in Olympia. In this gig, he’ll be in the vanguard of a voter-driven effort to transform learning for the state’s 1 million public school students. With passage of Initiative 1240 last Jerry Cornfield year, Washington will be allowing private nonprofits to run schools with public funds. Up to 40 such alternative schools will be allowed to operate under contracts, known as charters, issued either by the commission or approved school districts. No more than eight can be authorized in one year and applications from those seeking to be in the initial wave are due in late November. Halsey, who will earn $100,000 a year, will be steering the nine-member commission as it sorts through applications this winter and decides next February which to authorize. His exact role is getting formulated, but he said he expects to be an “active participant” in the decision-making. “I would hope we would avoid experimentation sites,” he said. “What we really want is innovation sites.” Halsey, who is married and a father of two young children, is an unfamiliar name for many veterans entrenched in the state’s education establishment. And he arrives as an almost complete unknown to those who waged battle on the charter school initiative as he steered clear of the fight.

Joshua Halsey

This should give him an unsullied foundation on which to build relationships with those trumpeting the value of these alternative schools in helping students as well as those still trying to prevent any from opening because they consider them unconstitutional. Commissioners chose him from a crowd of candidates, which included some with experience doing a similar job

in other states. “You will find him to be a strong leader,” said Steve Sundquist, chairman of the Washington commission. “His unique mix of experience, curiosity, and empathy will serve us well as we work to create the strongest charter school network in the nation.” He’ll also need to be adept in the political arena, a place he’s not been visible to this point in his career. Once the first charter school opens — possibly in fall 2014 — the state and school districts will have five years in which to authorize the 40 allotted charters. If the commission wants more, it will need to convince the Legislature and governor to pass a law adjusting the cap. Charter schools still remain largely disliked in parts of the state and among many state lawmakers. All it will take is one less than shiny operation to surface to imperil chances of getting rid of the cap. Halsey said he is looking forward to successfully navigating those potentially choppy waters. “I want to make sure we create the best charter schools in the nation,” he said. “That’s what I’m all about.” Jerry Cornfield is a political reporter who covers Olympia for The Daily Herald in Everett, which is among the Washington state newspapers in the Sound Publishing group. He can be contacted at jcornfield@heraldnet.com.

Test needed to catch deadly ovarian cancer in time

s an obstetrician and gynecologist, I regularly order Pap smears for my patients to screen for cervical cancer and mammograms to screen for breast cancer. However, I can’t order a simple test that will screen for ovarian cancer, and that is troubling. Ovarian cancer affects almost 200,000 women worldwide and about 18,000 women in the U.S. Seven in 10 women die within five years of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer and approximately 14,230 women will die in the United States from ovarian cancer in 2013. In Washington state alone, a woman dies every day of the disease, yet ovarian cancer is highly curable if found in its earliest stage. Katie Van Kessel, Over 90 percent of patients who are diagnosed early have a greater chance for survival. M.D. However, only 15 percent of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed early. So what can women do? It is very important to know your family history. Is someone in your family a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation carrier? (You might remember this is the genetic mutation Angelina Jolie was aware she carries.) Are there stories of your greatgrandma passing from “tummy troubles”? Do you have a family history of ovarian cancer? Do you have multiple blood relatives who have had breast cancer? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might choose to see a genetic counselor. Additionally, individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are 10 times more likely to carry a BRCA gene mutation than the general population. Women carrying mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have up to an 80 percent risk of developing breast cancer and up to a 45 percent risk of developing ovarian cancer. Jewish men can also pass on these mutations to their children. If – based on family history or ethnic background – you are at high risk of ovarian cancer, a CA-125 test, coupled with a trans-vaginal ultrasound, can be a reliable indicator if you first establish your individual baseline. A new study (which

was funded in part by the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research), conducted by Dr. Karen Lu, professor of gynecologic oncology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, shows promise for using the combination of a CA-125 blood test and a trans-vaginal ultrasound to track any changes over time. According to Dr. Lu, the “new study “is a ray of excitement.” However she cautions that the “important message is that this shouldn’t change clinical practice right now. We don’t have enough data.” The Rivkin Center provides a critical source of funding, both national and international, for translational research and early detection screening. Dr. Saul Rivkin founded the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research in 1996 in honor of his wife, Marsha, who passed away from ovarian cancer, and his five daughters. The Rivkin Center is a partnership with Swedish Medical Center and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. It is the mission of the Rivkin Center to save lives and reduce suffering through improved treatment, early detection and prevention of ovarian cancer. Awareness and advocacy is necessary so that more women become aware of potential symptoms. As September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, I want to make sure as many people as possible see the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. They may seem like fairly common indicators, however it is important to be aware of them and share them with the women in your life: ■ Abdominal bloating, ■ Discomfort or pain ■ Lack of appetite ■ Frequent urination ■ Constipation ■ Lack of energy ■ Vaginal bleeding ■ Nausea or diarrhea These symptoms may be caused by ovarian cancer or by other less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor, preferably a gynecologist, if these symptoms are new and persist for 2-3 weeks, especially if you experience several at one time. A

Pap smear is NOT a test for ovarian cancer. I became involved with the Rivkin Center because I saw the devastating effects of ovarian cancer in my own family. In 2008, my mother-in-law passed away from ovarian cancer after being diagnosed with stage III in 2001. As a physician, even as an OBGYN, I was powerless to help her. And that steeled my resolve to do something for others by helping to raise money for vital research and sharing the signs and symptoms in any way I can, because we need a reliable test for all women.

World cinema at the library

hen I was 16 I participated in a student exchange to Germany. School hadn’t started yet in the small farming community and some host families worried there wouldn’t be enough interesting events for American teens. This was untrue. We were always entertained as it was kirmes fair season, the summer Olympics were on television and there was plenty of cheese and bread to sample. I was delighted when my friends took me to a neighboring town to see “an American film at the cinema.” It sounded so high brow, but I was amused when I learned we were in line for Wayne’s World. I’d already seen it in the states and wondered how well it would translate dubbed in German. Darcy Brixey I laughed along with a theater full of German teens when things translated properly. At one point, I was the only one in the room giggling at the Laverne and Shirley charade part way through the movie. It was even funnier when I realized that it didn’t translate culturally. After the credits rolled, German kids I didn’t even know were asking me why that part was so funny. This was in an age before one could simply pull up a

Film and story can define and illustrate a culture in far-reaching ways. I watched a lot of German films that summer to learn more of the language and the culture. The Bellevue Library invites you to participate in the World Cinema Salon at 2 p.m. every Sunday in October. These events, graciously sponsored by the Bellevue Friends of the Library, will reflect the diverse cultures in Bellevue with films from India, Russia, Mexico and China, each with English subtitles. The films are for mature audiences due to subject matter. The first film, from India, is called Kannathil Muthamittal (A Peck on the Cheek) and will be shown Sunday, Oct. 6. Please see flyers within the Bellevue library or call 425-4501765 for a complete schedule. There will be a short introduction to each film and snacks from each showcased country. Grab a friend and enjoy a shared cultural experience every Sunday in October. If you want to see Wayne’s World in another language you’ll have to place a hold on the DVD.

Members sought to aid seniors The city of Bellevue is recruiting volunteer members for the Bellevue Network on Aging. The organization promotes awareness of needs and resources that support older adults. Members serve on the Network on Aging for a term of two years with a monthly commitment of six to 12 hours a month. Members must live, work or serve older adults in Bellevue, and 51 percent of the group must be over 50 years old. Applications, which are due Oct. 4, are available by contacting Bellevue Aging Services at the North Bellevue Community Center, 4063 148th Ave. NE, 425-452-7681. Applications and more information can also be found at http://www.bellevuewa.gov/network_on_aging.htm.

Newcastle beach reopens The city of Bellevue reopened the beach at Newcastle Beach Park on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The beach area was closed a week earlier due to increased levels of waterborne bacteria. Recent testing conducted by King County indicates bacteria levels have decreased. While the swimming season is officially over, warmer weather may draw lateseason water activities. King County Water and Land Resources, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, routinely tests and monitors water quality at beaches on Lake Washington.

Free health screening Saturday Overlake Medical Center will offer free health screenings as part of its Eastside Vitality Health Month, which will be highlighted during Saturday’s community health fair.

Bellevue City Council revisits appointments to light-rail group BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue City Council has approved a new Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) after acknowledging earlier this month that the original slate of nine members could be more thoroughly vetted for conflicts of interest. All but one were reaffirmed in the Monday night vote. The committee was adopted alongside the Light Rail Overlay District, to govern permitting of the East Link project. Members were intended to represent community, citywide and neighborhood interests and a breadth of professional experience as urban planners, artists, engineers, transit riders and residents impacted by the alignment, though not directly abutting it. The first nine were appointed on Aug. 5 right before council went on summer break and neighbors soon raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest, and a lack of neighborhood representation. Under the newly appointed commission, Clay Wallace, whose property along 112th Avenue is condemned by Sound Transit, will be replaced by Siona Van Dijk, a member of the Surrey Downs Neighborhood Association. Wallace’s proximity to the alignment makes him ineligible. Though the final vote was passed 6-0, discussion strayed to include other amendments to the commission. Mayor Conrad Lee originally suggested a replacement of Wendy Jones, president of the Enatai Neighborhood Association; and councilmember Kevin Wallace introduced a motion to expand the commission from nine to 11 members, suggesting that in addition to Wendy Jones, the council appoint Dijk

and Howard Katz. Wallace asked that alongside the motion the commission criteria be revised to allow for neighbors abutting the alignment, which would have required a change to the land use code. Katz has served on Bellevue’s Network of Aging and as a resident of the Lake Bellevue neighborhood, has property abutting East Link. “When this came up, it was really important to me for the neighborhoods of Enatai, Surrey Downs and Lake Bellevue to have one voice each on the committee,” said Wallace. “Growing it to 11 from eight original members [achieves that].” After some back-and-forth, the council agreed on the final nine: Dijk, Erin Derrington, Richard Line, Don Miles, Ming-Fang Chang, Susan Rakow Anderson, Marcelle Lynde, Joel Glass and Doug Matthews. “We have to make decisions in a timely manner so Bellevue doesn’t get left out of the permitting process,” said Lee. “I’m proud of our council for finding common ground again,” Wallace later said, “but I feel strongly that neighborhoods and seniors need a voice on the CAC, so I’m disappointed that my motion didn’t pass. I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the city protects our neighborhoods as the light rail project moves forward.” The new commission will begin meeting in October. Sound Transit expects to start submitting permits this fall. The council also emphasized that though the commission was limited to nine, neighbors have other opportunities to voice their concerns as design and construction progresses.

Walking for work

COFFEE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Entrepreneur Ron Wiener says his corporate life was a sedentary one, which didn't help when it came to his waistline. His newest venture, WorkWhileWalking, was inspired by the growing trend of active workspaces among companies and his own successes using a treadmill desk. "I would never say to anybody, 'Get a treadmill desk if you want to lose weight,' " said Wiener, who is more concerned with the health risks that come with chair-bound occupations. "It's not a substitute for working out, it's not a substitute for bad diet." WorkWhileWalking.com launched in April, but today marks the opening of the company's first physical store, located on Northeast 20th Street in Bellevue. “This is the grand experiment here," Wiener said of the multiple tech companies and their respective office workers. "Where we are in Bellevue, we know the clientele is good.” Wiener said 18 of 20 employees at his now-defunct Equaship company were outfitted with treadmill desks, which gave him insight into how to launch WorkWhileWalking – a business plan four years in the making. The store comes with a showroom – all models side-by-side – but Wiener said a bigger selling point are the cubicles fashioned with treadmill desk models customers can take for a test walk, rent-to-own or just rent a certain number of hours a week. Models run anywhere from $800 to $8,000. "It's a big investment, and everybody knows health equipment, 85 percent of it consumers never use again," he said. "We do expect that some people are just going to rent it on a regular basis." Renting a treadmill desk costs $10 an hour, and Wiener said block time will be available through Groupon and LivingSocial at a 50 percent discount. Those wanting to take a treadmill home can put their block time payments toward the cost of a unit. "Just the opportunity to try it has been the main thing stopping it from growing faster," Wiener said. While there are copious brands and models of treadmill

Russ Riggins, operational strategist with WorkWhileWalking, demonstrates a treadmill desk at the Bellevue storefront with owner, Ron Wiener. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter desks out there, WorkWhileWalking's inventory is limited to those with 4-5 star ratings. A core team of three employees with expertise in treadmill engineering lend their opinions to models on top of customer reviews sampled from across the web. "We often give the vendors the first real review they've ever had," Wiener said, adding that means quality supersedes quantity. "Consequently, we have very few items in our store, to be honest with you." Treadmill desk users are typically fit people in their 40-to-60s, Wiener said, who are already health conscious and worried about obesity and other symptoms of "sitting disease." WorkWhile Walking is located at 13256 NE 20th St.

by brewing a shot of espresso for customers needing to stay alert. Manager Chris Galbreath said Seattle Coffee Gear doesn't look for baristas to staff its stores, and not all of the more than 50 employees across both locations even drink coffee. "I think we have a lot of home brewers that would approach this the same way our customers would," he said. Seattle Coffee Gear also does a lot of business online, Gehlen said, adding his website offers detailed information about the products he sells. He said store employees will also help out those with machines at home who need assistance and will fix up damaged products. "We also do a lot of free repairs," Gehlen said, "whether you bought it from us or not." The Bellevue store is doing better than expected, Gehlen said of his niche business. He added employees don't work on commission, so customers aren't pressured into buying more than they need. Denise Nelson of Tenino and her husband, Jeff, were in Bellevue on Monday running several errands, and stopped in after seeing the store's website. "They have a really cool website with video presentations," she said. "Super people – absolutely super people. No pressure, just willing to help." Galbreath showed the Nelsons several models in their price range, rang them up in under 15 minutes and carried their purchase to their car. "I'm excited to head home and start some coffee tonight," Nelson said. Seattle Coffee Gear is located at 10692 NE Eighth St., and open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Sunday. The store can be reached at 425-451-7292.

Xanadu: Hilarity in leg warmers and roller skates BY FRANCESCA LYMAN

SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Village Theatre has scored a hilarious hit with Xanadu, a campy, athletic new stage spoof of the notorious film flop turned cult classic. The musical fantasy is set in 1980 on Mt. Olympus and Los Angeles, where a creatively-frustrated street artist on the Venice Beach boardwalk, Sonny Malone, desperately needs a muse to finish his chalk mural of the nine Greek muses, entitled “Ancient Greek Arty Chicks.” Suddenly, out of the darkness, Grecian muse Clio, emerges to inspire. After all, as one of the muses orates, “It’s 1980…the year all inspiration left the arts.” Clio, in leg warmers and roller skates, disguised as a mortal Australian and renamed Kira, enters singing

“I’m Alive.” Soon she will help him meet up with the rich, real estate magnate, Danny McGuire, owner of an abandoned old building where he will realize his dream of creating a roller disco palace called Xanadu. The Village Theatre’s production succeeds in capturing all the campy zest and glitter of the Broadway remake, with terrific music direction by Tim Symons of the songs originally tracked by the legendary pop band, the Electric Light Orchestra, excellent choreography by Kathryn Van Meter and creative costuming by Karen Ann Ledger. Much of the magic comes from the energy between the star duo (lovers in real life) Jessica Skerritt, in the lead role as Clio, and Dane Stokinger, as Sonny. Skerritt

shimmers in the lustroushaired Olivia Newton-John role, with captivating singing and excellent comedic timing – overdone Aussie accent included. Stokinger is endearing as the lovable lug of a beach bum in jean cut-offs, smitten by love, who also delivers some powerful vocals. Clio’s cackling evil muse sisters, including Lisa Estridge, playing Melpomene, and Christine Riipii as Calliope, get down singing a mean version of “Evil Woman” but also get many of the laughs. The plot, what little there is of it, revolves around the jealous sisters’ scheme to curse Clio and send her to the Netherworld, for daring to defy the divine rule that demi-gods cannot fall in love with mortals, nor can muses share in creating art. Before the end, Kira must confront their father, Zeus, played

In any case, you’ll leave feeling joyfully exuberant. My only criticism is that the sound was cranked up so high it distorted some of the vocals.

Sammamish High School senior Rachel Rock couldn’t believe it. “Everyone around me started screaming, and Mr. Danielsen said, ‘Stand up!’ I looked, and my name was on the big board.” A surprised and thrilled Rock recently won first place in the Screen Printing Technology competition at the National SkillsUSA Championships in Kansas City, Mo. Rock represented Washington in the event after winning the state competition last spring. Rock is a student in the production graphics course at Sammamish, taught by Tom Danielsen. The SkillsUSA Championships is the national-level competition for public high school, college and post-secondary technical students enrolled in career and technical education programs. More than 6,000 students from across the nation competed in 98 different occupational areas and leadership contests. Rock’s competition pitted her against two dozen other students, many of whom attend Skill Centers or technical high schools, where students spend up to half their day perfecting their screen-printing skills. The competition itself included seven specific areas of judging over several days, including written tests, an oral interview and practical skills challenges, which tested her knowledge of screen printing practices, as well as her eye for quality control. After graduation, Rock plans to study business management and Spanish at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Her interest in business has been sparked by two years in

Short Takes on the News

y now, I’ve been at school for a few weeks, but I’m still trying to come to terms with the fact that summer is eight months away. After doing asbolutely nothing for so long, it’s painful to go back to the endless routine of high school. So, I decided to try to be optimistic about the coming year. Without further ado, here are 10 joys of going back to school: ■ Walking in on the first day and hearing the familiar sounds of constant screaming in the hallways. ■ Watching teachers start out calm and relaxed, and slowly getting to the point where sneezing at the wrong time can mean getting sent out of the room. ■ Deciding to get up earlier this year, which means hitting the snooze button four times instead of five. ■ The one mysterious cafeteria dish that no one wants to touch and vaguely resembles a potato. Vaguely. Fina Short ■ Wondering if my giant backpack will give me arthritis later in life. ■ Feeling mildly annoyed if someone’s late to class, and then (inevitably) sidling in to class late and glaring at anyone who looks at me. ■ Trying to study everything, and having the one thing I didn’t study show up on the final exam that’s worth 50 percent of my grade. ■ Having weeks to work on a project and knowing I’m going to do it at the last minute anyway. ■ Trying to get good grades in seven classes. And be wellrounded by doing extracurricular activities. And sleep eight hours a night. And eat a healthy, balanced breakfast. And be on time to school every single day. And somehow have a social life. ■ Three years until graduation! I hope this list left everyone feeling extra-joyful about the coming year. Hang in there – the summer sun was increasing your chances of skin cancer anyway.

Totems’ runner a quiet storm on race course

Sports Roundup

What’s happening in sports and recreation

Interlake boys, girls run away with Salt Creek Invitational Interlake’s girls, ranked in the top-10 in the state, picked up a sweet at the Salt Creek Invitational at Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island as the boys and girls won individual and team championships. Sophomore Luke Beauchamp was first on the boys side, with junior Alex Doran in third and Kyle Van Draanenin fourth. Senior Joseph Pooley was seventh and Will Oden rounded out the field for the Saints in 17th, good enough to finish well in front of second place finisher Bainbridge. Senior Nikita Waghani was first for the girls, followed closely by fellow senior Annie Davis in third to lead their team to the win.

Bellevue 10th by MaxPreps.com

Pascale De Sa E Silva, a junior at International School and runner with the Sammamish cross country team, is one of the state’s top contenders in 2013. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter According to Oberweiser, those new friends didn’t take long to begin to follow De Sa E Silva’s lead. In her first year with the cross country program, Oberweiser said she heard about De Sa E Silva before the season began and knew her reputation as one of the conference and state’s top runners. But when they met, she quickly realized the intense, overbearing image of a running fanatic couldn’t have been further from reality. “She isn’t bossy and doesn’t get down on other people,” Oberweiser said. “She is sweet, always smiling, fun to be around and she has this amazing running talent to go with her amazing personality.” The field at the 2A meet will likely be loaded with experience, as all but three of the top 15 runners from last year return to the course this year, including state champion Emily Pittis of Sehome. But with a refocused plan that has her focused on a run through the postseason, De Sa E Silva should be poised to make a push to the front. “She’s a competitor when it comes down to it,” Oberweiser said. “She will have that time in her mind she wants, but when it is a competition and she has someone to push her, she goes into competitor mode and wants to be at the top.”

The latest high school football rankings from national outlets are out and Bellevue once again finds itself in the top-10, according to one publication. MaxPreps.com tabs the Wolverines 10th in its latest Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings, just behind a Coppell, Texas team that had its last game postponed due to weather and in front of noted powers such as Hoover, Ala. and De La Salle-Concord, Calif. Washington-Miami leads the MaxPreps.com rankings, followed by a pair of Texas squads in DeSoto and Allen. St. John Bosco at fourth is the only team west of Texas ranked higher than the Wolverines, who climbed one spot from last week. Rivals.com is not quite as sold on Bellevue as a top national contender, and has coach Butch Goncharoff ’s fivetime defending 3A state champs just inside the top-25 at number 24 in this week’s rankings. Booker T. Washington (Miami, Fla.) leads the way according to Rivals. Mater Dei is 23, Hamilton (Chandler, Ariz.) comes in at 21, De La Salle is 15, Mountain Pointe (Phoenix, Ariz.) is 13 and St. John Bosco checks in at number five. USA Today and its Super 25 also count Bellevue as a top25 team, ranking them 23. The Wolverines beat Sammamish 49-0 on Friday and continue KingCo play this week against Lake Washington. 882142

For her first two years as a runner at Sammamish High School, Pascale De Sa E Silva didn’t much believe in slowing down. She entered her freshman season with only limited running experience and the thought of overtraining never crossed her mind. While that philosophy served her well in competition, it also caused her to miss hitting her optimal performance at the right time in the season. “I didn’t know a lot about myself as a runner,” she said. “I tended to peak early and then crash.” If her finishes at the past two state meets are any indication, an improved action plan could be a problem for the rest of the field in 2013. De Sa E Silva has been in the top-25 in each of her two seasons as a prep runner, finishing 25th in Class 3A as a freshman before ending last year’s 2A meet in 14th place. She won the KingCo championship meet last year as well after finishing second in that race as a freshman and said those experiences, coupled with her work alongside the Sammamish coaching staff, has her primed for even faster times this season. “I have learned it is really important to listen to coaches,” she said. “It is really tempting to run really high mileage and they are used to seeing people do that.” Protecting herself from overtraining has been one of the areas where De Sa E Silva has grown the most over her prep career and Totems’ girls coach Megan Oberweiser said her determination on the course and during training is a key to not only her success, but the growth of the entire squad. “Pascale is just so motivated,” Oberweiser said. “She is always here, ready to go 100 percent.” Scaling back some of that enthusiasm with the big picture in mind has been the challenge and was an unusual feeling initially. While she only took up cross country in seventh grade, De Sa E Silva said she has played water polo and swam for several years and still competes during the summer. A student at Bellevue’s International School, she said cross country with the Totems has been an opportunity to meet an entirely new group of her peers and expand her social circle. “I’ve found I’m even closer with people on this team,” she said. “A lot of my best friends are people on the team.”

Newport looking to stay perfect against Issaquah BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Newport (3-0) @ Issaquah (1-2), 7 p.m., Friday The Knights dropped Woodinville emphatically last week, winning 40-9 to move their record to 3-0 for the first time in more than a decade. A visit to rival Issaquah will provide yet another test for a group of running backs that have carried the load thus far, led by senior Conner Baumann and aided by the efforts of Paul Wells and Nkumbu Chisebuka. The Eagles beat Interlake handily in the first game of the season before dropping a close game to Mount Si and watching as O’Dea eventually ran away in a 51-26 win.

Bellevue (3-0, 1-0) @ Lake Washington (1-2, 0-1), 7 p.m., Friday The Wolverines face their second Class 2A opponent in as many weeks on Friday at Lake Washington, after beating Sammamish 49-0 in last week’s conference opener. Lake Washington enters the game off a 34-3 loss to Mercer Island in its first KingCo game of the year. The Kangs were dropped 7-0 in the season opener by Foss before beating Cedarcrest 34-21.

Car-deer accidents in area prompt call for warning signs BY SAMANTHA PAK REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Green’s Chapel of the Flowers, after becoming the location of the Bellevue Art Museum, 1975. COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center

The Chapel of the Flowers The Chapel of the Flowers was the site of many marriages and memorial services in Bellevue. Operated by Green’s Funeral Home Inc., it was a non-sectarian sanctuary, open to people of all faiths for weddings and other services. A Chapel of the Flowers wedding brochure describes the way visitors feel inside the Chapel, “a sense of peace and quiet pervades while growing flowers and vines within the Chapel symbolize the kindliness and endowment of nature.” Once located on the corner of Bellevue Way (104th Avenue) and Northeast Fourth Street (current site of the J.C. Penny’s parking lot at Bellevue Square), it was demolished as part of the Square’s expansion. In 1975, the Chapel of the Flowers served as the Bellevue Art Museum’s first location. In 1983, the museum moved to the third floor of Bellevue Square, and the chapel was torn down shortly after.

Although certain parts of the Eastside have been designated as high-density areas and the region’s natural environment has been altered to accommodate this growth, local humans are still sharing space with the local animals. And when the two worlds meet, it can be dangerous — for either party. This summer, the cities of Bellevue and Redmond saw just how dangerous. In the span of two weeks, the cities saw two car accidents that killed two deer along the city line. The first accident occurred on July 25 in the 2600 block of West Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast in Redmond and involved a fawn. The second occurred on Aug. 10 in the 17100 block of Northeast 24th Street in Bellevue and involved a doe. After the two accidents, Redmond resident Laura Spalart, who lives near the site of the first accident, has become concerned about the possibility of future collisions. She said the speed limit of 35 mph is “far too high” for the narrow and winding road, which has poor visibility due to the natural overgrowth and low tree canopy. Spalart, who has lived in the area for about 21 years altogether, said she would like to see a “Deer Crossing” sign somewhere along the road to warn drivers of the possible danger. She contacted the Washington State Department of Transportation, but was told the road is out of their jurisdiction because it is city road. So she contacted both the cities of Bellevue and Redmond as well as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. However, she said, no agency has stepped up to do anything to mitigate. “I think hitting a deer also poses a threat to humans,” she said about why she would like to see a sign installed. “People are killed hitting deer.” Spalart said the addition of deer in their neighborhood has been a recent development. “I had never seen deer until four or five years ago,” she said. Hillary Stibbard, a traffic engineering manager for the city of Bellevue, said the city works with the Department of Fish and Wildlife when it comes to placing signs regarding animal crossings. Before placing a sign, she said they will usually monitor strikes over several years to try to determine whether the area is a well-used wildlife corridor. “Generally, we don’t sign unless there is a known migration route,” Stibbard said. She added that another reason they pause before installing a sign is that there are federal guidelines for signs. Stibbard

said they don’t want to post too many and have “sign pollution” because people will stop paying attention. “Unfortunately, people forget about them,” she said. “They just don’t see signs.” Stibbard couldn’t say how much a “Deer Crossing” costs, but said the price to put up a sign ranges and depends on various factors. For example, she said a memorial sign — usually located along a road where someone has died in some sort of crash —ranges from about $200-$250. She added that if they were to get a “Deer Crossing” sign for the area, the city where the sign is posted would pay for it. Samantha Pak: 425-867-0353, ext. 5052 spak@redmond-reporter.com

Council Roundup

What’s going on in city government

Health care reform The Bellevue City Council on Monday reviewed plans by Public Health Seattle & King County, as well as the city of Bellevue, to provide information about health care reform. A representative of Public Health told councilmembers about 14 percent of Bellevue’s adult population, more than 11,000 residents, is uninsured. The agency is working to ensure that everyone eligible for coverage under the federal Affordable Care Act is enrolled. Several enrollment events are planned in Bellevue and they will include multilingual staff from the county to assist non-English speakers. One of the biggest enrollment opportunities will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Crossroads Shopping Center.

Day of Concern Mayor Conrad Lee issued a proclamation designating Saturday, Sept. 28, as a Day of Concern for the Hungry at grocery stores throughout King County. He urged Bellevue residents to support a countywide emergency feeding program and local food banks to help those who are hungry.

degrees without providing housing for the growing student population. When Spiritwood neighbors brought the issue to the attention of council, it quickly became clear that the for-profit housing model wasn’t limited to East Bellevue. Citywide, 43 rental housing violations were reported between 2011 and 2012, up from 27 between 2003 and 2004. Throughout the last couple weeks neighbors all across Bellevue have shared stories of housemates sleeping in shifts to accommodate one another, rat infestations and traffic problems in their single-family neighborhoods. “Thank you very much,” said Steve Fricke a resident of Spiritwood, during Monday’s comment period. “A sincere thanks to all city staff and council for listening to our issues regarding shared housing.” The city has acknowledged that while the emergency ordinance deals with an immediate issue, a long-term solution would also need to be sought in the form of updates to the city’s comprehensive plan and discussions on housing affordability in Bellevue. Reflecting on Monday’s vote, Fricke said he hoped the city would consider forming a committee to give input on how best to address this issue further down the line. The emergency ordinance passed 6-0 by the council on Monday amended the definition of boarding houses to include

rooming houses, and was expanded to apply to stays of 30 days or more. Also revised was the city’s definition of family, which previously allowed for up to six unrelated adults and now limits the number to four unrelated adults living in a single dwelling. Exceptions could be made if more that four people demonstrate that they operate as a family, using a set of criteria that includes details like shared utility costs or common ownership of furniture and appliances. “We still need to deal with how we house kids as they go to school. That’s important, we need to figure that out,” said Chelminiak, acknowledging that council and staff ’s work was not yet done. “Part of that is affordability of housing. We also need to look at neighborhoods’ transition…We need to have a very open and honest discussion about how the city can help achieve that because if we don’t have that discussion a lot of very large homes will be built on lots.” To ensure that residents currently operating under city code weren’t unfairly penalized, the emergency ordinance will not be enforced until July of next year. Unless there are foreseeable threats to the environment or safety, enforcement would be complaint-based.

"Neighbors all across Bellevue, if they're impacted by this situation it behooves them to contact city staff and file formal complaints so the city can investigate and utilize their resources," says Fricke. "It will be interesting to see how it's enforced. It's always nice to have a statute or a code, but a code is not a code until it's enforced." The code immediately goes into effect, though East Bellevue Community Council (EBCC) will also need to pass the ordinance before it can be enforced in that jurisdiction, of which Spiritwood is a part. Staff said they hope to bring it before EBCC in early October with a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 4. “These are dormitories masquerading as single-family homes, sometimes very small homes,” said Chelminiak. “This ordinance gives direct guidance. … We’re able to maintain single-family residences for single-family use without violating fair housing laws.” For more information about the ordinance and agenda item, visit http://www. bellevuewa.gov/pdf/City%20Council/PacketExtendedStudySession9-23-133c.pdf.

During a run of a ZinZanni family show, “In Tents” two years ago, Watson, only 10 at the time, left audience members waiting with baited breath. As childlike music plucked like the metal heart of a jewelry box, Watson moved slowly and deliberately. Smiling serenely, she blew kisses, clutching a teddy bear. Suddenly, her head began to fall backward. Planting her palms to the floor, the girl’s supple torso bent generously. With her entire body in an “O” shape for just a moment, Watson suddenly released her legs, which gracefully launched out behind her onto the ground, like “the worm” dance move.

They can use these as performing artists, or simply to increase their self-esteem said Erica Rubinstein, a coach of Watson’s who teaches at Seattle’s School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (SANCA). This appealed to Saffi’s parents, a singer and pianist who are both performers themselves. Clifford Watson just hopes his daughter grows up to be healthy and happy. “We signed her up for gymnastics because we noticed she would jump off the sofa and do crazy things,” he said. “With a kid like that, you can either get them to stop, or you can help them harness and use that talent.” To learn more about classes in the circus arts for all ages, go to sancaseattle.org.

Reynolds was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Sept. 23, 1926 to George and Maude Hough Reynolds. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, George F. Reynolds. She is survived by a brother, Clarke E. Reynolds of Fairfield, Calif.,

WISHING YOU A BOUNTIFUL COMPOSTING SEASON

During the upcoming holiday season, an extra 1 million tons of material goes to the landfill each week. Cut this number by recycling food waste and food-soiled paper. Old pumpkins, turkey bones, shells and cookie boxes are just some of the holiday waste that can be recycled. Cedar Grove Composting recycles it all into soil-enriching compost â€” to grow next years bounty.
