Eastside economy gets a thumbs up from business leaders BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Business leaders at Wednesday’s Bellevue Chamber of Commerce Eastside Economic Forecast Breakfast made fairly sunny predictions for future growth as the economy continues to rebound from the 2008 recession. “I remember five years ago, four years ago, three years ago, America was in decline, China was on the rise,” said Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist for Bank of America. Now the United States is on the up in the automotive, housing and manufacturing sectors, with energy to play an even larger part in driving the economy in the next several

years, Quinlan said. “It’s a game-changer, really,” he said. “It’s a game-changer at home.” Energy costs go down and put more money in the pockets of business leaders, and the energy revolution is being driven by entrepreneurs, state policy and technological innovation. The United States continues to drive the global economy, Quinlan said, but government is playing a huge part in how efficiently the economy will grow. “I think growth is a terrible thing to waste, as well,” he said. “We’re growing around 2.8 percent. This is when we should be hard at work, rolling up our sleeves and maintain

growth we have, make it stronger.” The setting aside of immigration reform by Congress is a letdown because of the missed opportunity to attract a pool of international talent to the United States for higher education and then retain highly-skilled graduates within its workforce, Quinlan said. “We still have the ability to attract the best and the brightest, but let’s keep them here,” he said. “Let’s entice them to stay. If you look at the Silicon Valley, 40-45 percent

Church, donors give Camp Unity couple special wedding day BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Justin and Keri Embree met and fell in love at Camp Unity Eastside in the Bellevue First United Methodist Church parking lot. When they announced their plans to wed at the church before CUE's move to Woodinville, congregation members made the couple's special day a fast-paced mission that coalesced in a full ceremony on Nov. 14. "We met through Camp Unity. I had been a long-time camper and she moved in," said Justin Embree, recalling standing over his barbecue grill when she approached him. "I asked her if she was hungry." "And all I noticed was his blue eyes," said Keri Embree. There was no hesitation by the church to conduct the couple's wedding ceremony and reception, said congregation member Sheri Yeatts, however, they were worried about the short window in which they had to plan the event. "My first thought was, 'I don't think we can do this,' and then my

second thought was, 'Yes, we can,' " said Yeatts. Through solicitation efforts by camp member Margaret Brady, donors started pouring in. Sterling silver wedding bands were donated by Gold and Silver Traders and a bouquet and boutenier were provided by Lawrence the Florist. Obadiah Salon did Keri Embree's hair and nails and Bellevue First United Methodist members provided a suit for the groom and white dress for the bride. "Everything was settled in three days," Yeatts said, "the whole wedding." Pastor Steve Tarr agreed to officiate the wedding, which was unrehearsed. "I've never done anything quite like this," he said. "This is a great thing to be able to do. We've really liked having Camp Unity here, and to be able to do this before they go is a great thing." Rather than a band, music for the ceremony was provided by two members of the church choir and the church also handled photography, though many camp members also jumped in with their smart-

The couple hopes to renew their vows at the methodist church next year. "To be able to make their dream come true is just a privilege," Yeatts said.

The Bellevue Planning Commission kicked off its speaker series Nov. 13 with a look at the Eastgate corridor and what could be in store for the study area as the the group works toward updating the city's comprehensive plan. An Eastgate/I-90 corridor study anticipates major growth in the area over the next 20 years, but dealing with an increase in traffic and demand for office space in the corridor, which currently represents 18 percent of employment in Bellevue, is the next step for the planning commission as it looks for ways to accommodate the coming change in land use and transportation. Bellevue College is a large stakeholder in the corridor, and is currently in the listening phase of the "Design Our Future" campaign for comprehensive strategic planning, which includes anticipating its own growth and better presence in the city, said Ray White, college vice president. A large component, and one that caught the attention of Spiritwood Neighborhood residents, is student housing. Spiritwood residents took complaints about students shacking up in their neighborhood to the City Council earlier this year, and an emergency ordinance was put in place addressing multi-room rentals in singlefamily homes. Bellevue College has purchased 19 homes and lots near Sunset Park for long-range housing plans, however, it could take up to four years to see the first unit come in, White

said. The college board of directors is seeking a recommendation from the VP as an estimated 10-30 percent of continuing education students need housing. The earliest he may make such a recommendation is January, but he can see making a case for 400-900 beds. Because the parcels owned by the college are all on septic systems, there likely would need to be a lift station installed to handle housing, White said, adding a private developer may be able to tackle the housing issue faster. Housing and possible retail could be situated between the college and the Urban Renaissance Group's Sunset North property on the 3000 block of 139th Avenue Southeast, said URG CEO Pat Callahan, adding that and development of its Lincoln Executive Center asset will be largely dependent on zoning changes that could be recommended in the city's updated comp plan. The development company plans to convert the Lincoln Executive Center into "vertical, walkable urban villages," said Callahan, with a working concept being to tear down a single-story building within the complex, buy up the Bank of America building, keep a three-story building and construct two 250,000-square-foot towers. An Eastgate transit center at the parkand-ride site will be the hub around redevelopment with nearby LEC and Bellevue College playing in to the planned mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented activity center outlined in the study, said Mike Bergstrom, co-project manager with the city's development services department.

Bellevue High band sets fight song challenge Attention college sports fans: The Bellevue High School Band will play your school's fight song at your home or local business as part of a fundraising campaign to buy new uniforms. As a twist, the band will play your school's fight song at a friend's house for some good-natured rivalry. The band is limiting schools to the University of Washington, Washington State University, Oregon State University and the University of Oregon. Performances will occur 3-6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26, the week of the Apple Cup and the Civil War, at Bellevue addresses. Cost is $50. Only a limited number of performances are available. Those interested should contact Band Director Edd George at georgee@ bsd405.org by Friday, Nov. 22. Bellevue High School is the only high school in the district without formal uniforms and the school's marching band wants to buy 170 marching band uniforms for performances at football games, parades, and other community events. Each uniform costs $350 and will last 10-15 years. The band needs to raise $60,000 to help it look as good as it sounds. More information about the campaign is available at bellevuehighband.com/uniforms.

Bellevue gets animated about preparedness Residents can learn how to prepare for emergencies through a song from Bellevue’s Office of Emergency Management. “Ways to Survive” is an animation featuring Liv & the Survivors, a Sasquatch family who prepare for and respond to various hazards that can occur in the Pacific Northwest. They also play together in a band, performing the title song, an original composition with a dance beat and sassy vocals from OEM staff member Inness Pryor. The video was created as part of an effort to reach residents more through social media

Legislature needs to deal with transportation now BY CLAUDIA BALDUCCI AND KEVIN WALLACE

B

ellevue is a great place to live and work. Our city is made up of strong, vibrant neighborhoods, and it’s a booming employment center and high-tech hub. With our excellent schools, beautiful parks and high-energy downtown, Bellevue is on the move and focused on the future. Along with the rest of the Puget Sound region, Bellevue and the Eastside have long been an economic engine of the state. The city is also a regional transportation center, with three major highways Claudia Balducci running through it. Mobility is critical for our residents, workers, students and visitors. Keeping our regional economy strong and enhancing our quality of life depends on being able to move people and goods safely and reliably. However, congested roads are hindering our ability to do that, and now we’re Kevin Wallace at a critical juncture. In order to reduce congestion and maintain mobility on Washington highways, we urge state legislators to approve a funding package for essential transportation projects – in this year’s special session. Interstate 405 remains the most congested highway in the state and funding the next $1.2 billion phase of construction, from Bellevue to Tukwila, is vital to the economic growth of the region, and to the quality of life for city residents. Similarly, improvements to State Route 520 are still unfunded on the west side of Lake Washington, and a westbound off-ramp at 124th Street is needed. Bellevue commuters and many others rely heavily on transit service. We urge the Legislature to come up with a viable solution that enables transit providers to maintain SEE TRANSPORTATION, 5

Bellevue library not closed Sundays A sharp-eyed library patron pointed out a letter in the Bellevue Reporter, posted Nov 12, expressing concern about Sunday hours at the Bellevue Library. I’m not sure where the misinformation came from. I have some excellent news! The Bellevue Library is not closed on Sundays. Indeed, we are now and will continue to be open noon to 8 p.m. In addition, the Lake Hills and Newport Way libraries are also open 1-5 p.m. on Sundays. As the original writer said, weekends are important day for homework help. We agree and we look forward to welcoming students and any other patrons into our library 7-days a week.

Bellevue needs a competition pool I got to spend last weekend watching two Bellevue area high school teams win state championships. I left Federal Way Aquatic center Saturday morning after Newport Girls won the state title for a second year in a row and headed to Gig Harbor where I sat in a spectacular high school Natatorium built on the campus of Curtis High School. There the Bellevue Boys Water Polo team won their third title in a row. What an amazing accomplishment it is that these student athletes are able to perform at such a high level without a high school pool or for that matter an indoor competition pool in the entire city of Bellevue. Is there

Question of the week:

“ Do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy?”

any other high school sport that has to leave town to find a facility or field to hold a “home” sporting event? It would be nice if our city and school district to come together to support our kids as well as our community with a new aquatic facility that every Bellevue citizen young and old could use. If Gig Harbor and Federal Way can do it, why can’t we?

We still need to cherish Thanksgiving Call me old fashion, but I do believe in the holiday between Halloween and Christmas. We refer to it as Thanksgiving. Shopping the end of October for a few Halloween greeting cards I discovered the music playing was a rendition of Jingle Bells, No, can’t be, not yet. My family and I still enjoy the tradition of sitting together, enjoying the usual stuffing and cranberries in the same dishes my grandmother used. No one jumps up to go shopping at midnight, afraid they will miss the biggest sale of the year. We still tell the same stories about brother Marc at two years old, finding all the wrapped gifts hidden in the closet and excited he had unwrapped every one of them. Or the time Christopher dislocated his shoulder doing an Evel Knievel over trash cans on his skate board. We laugh every time. If no one rushed out to these greedy retailers maybe the employees would be able to enjoy their holiday as well. I would not trade my family time or values for whatever Mega-sale is offered. I am sure there will be plenty of merchandise left on the shelves the day after.

A day to share sorrow, gain wisdom

T

hey say everyone can remember where they were if they are old enough. I’m old enough. I was sitting in a classroom at St. Francis Catholic School in my hometown of Bend, Ore. It was a Friday in late November – and the only thing on my mind was that the weekend was just hours away. I had plans, after all. Plans to sleep in. Watch Saturday morning cartoons. Chill. Our teacher, a nun named Sister Mildred Marie, was trying to teach our elementary class something about anything. My eyes were glazed over like a fresh-made Krispy Kreme. She might have been talking about social studies. Or history. If it was about math, I’m sure I wasn’t paying attention. I could never make the Pat Cashman connection between being a radio D.J. (which I wanted to be) and Euclid. Although I did think Euclid might be a cool D.J. name: “Hey, everybody! It’s Kid Euclid! By request, here’s The Beach Boys!” It might have been around 10 a.m. An upperclassman came bursting into the room right in the middle of Sister’s unremembered lesson. “President Kennedy’s been shot!” The kid’s words hung in the air without any reaction from any of us – even Sister Mildred Marie. “They just announced it on TV,” he said. And then left. Silence prevailed in the classroom for long minutes. Then Sister said, “OK. Everybody get on their knees and let’s start praying.” And so we did. After awhile, we stopped, sat back in our seats and just waited. It didn’t seem like much time later, the same kid who’d brought the earlier bulletin came back in to announce that President Kennedy had died. We were just kids, but we knew that was bad – and some of us started to cry. Sister suspended class for the day and we were dismissed.

I remember walking home with my friend, David. He was scared – and convinced that we were also in danger of being shot. He ducked behind buildings, crept below mailboxes – all the while sure we were under attack. I couldn’t convince him he was wrong. How was I supposed to know? When I arrived home, I found my mom in tears. She ran to me and just hugged me for an unusually long time. I never forgot that. My dad, who ran a retail business, closed his store for the day and came straight home. It felt like a death in the family. The president, like us, was Catholic after all. The next couple of days, our black-and-white TV never went off. We saw the astounding live Jack Ruby shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald, the funeral procession down Pennsylvania Avenue, the casket lying in state, the burial at Arlington. It is seared into the memory forever. But there is a certain – and oddly – happy memory about it, too. Our family shared the whole experience. Our parents comforted us, reassured us – and tried, as best they could, to explain all of it to us. And it really brought us close. It changed us as a family. Surely my parents were faking their way through it much of the time – just like their parents likely did after Pearl Harbor – and just like my wife and I did with our own kids years later during 9/11. At times like these, people look to you for wisdom. And if you don’t have it, you gain it. Someone once said it is easier to be wise for someone else than ourselves. That’s a very wise observation.

and, ultimately, to enhance current service levels. We cannot afford the drastic cuts in transit service projected to occur without new funding. Bellevue has worked long and hard on a land use and transportation plan to expand and redevelop the BelRed corridor, which connects the Eastside’s two biggest job centers: downtown Bellevue and Microsoft’s main campus in Redmond. There’s a great opportunity to grow quality jobs, reduce traffic congestion and improve the environment with coordinated support of this effort, but Bellevue cannot do it alone. New state revenue is needed for highways, roads and public transportation to support this regional growth. The Bellevue City Council is unanimous in its support for transportation investments now that reduce congestion by improving our roads, maintaining transit service, connecting our economic corridors and making it safer to walk, bike and drive. We also support efforts to reduce the costs of delivering these expensive projects in order to maximize public investment in our transportation infrastructure. We urge the Legislature to complete its work on a much-needed transportation package that finishes SR 520, completes the next phase of improvements to I-405 and preserves King County Metro bus routes. Our legislators understand that the continued health of our city is at stake and they have been working hard to address the challenges. We support them in approving a balanced, statewide transportation package – this year. Action is needed now to keep Bellevue, and Washington state, moving.

Residents weigh in on Overlake light rail segment BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Sound Transit's East Link extension in Redmond is in its pre-final design phase and the agency is currently seeking public input to affect the final outlook for the project planned to go online in 2023. Redmond residents brought that desired feedback to an open house in

Bellevue on Tuesday and to get a look at what Sound Transit has in store for its Overlake segment, which includes construction of two light rail transit stations and corresponding pedestrian bridges that will cross State Route 520 and eventually be owned and maintained by the city. "We want to understand changes you

Lose weight with the same program she chose.

When Kearsten Weeks had finally had enough, she came to Swedish Weight Loss to change her life. Now, 140 pounds lighter and immeasurably happier and healthier, Kearsten is living proof of how Swedish can also help you. And now there’s good news if you live on the Eastside. Because the same medical and surgical weight loss programs that have made a difference for thousands of Swedish patients in the Northwest, are also available at our new Issaquah Highlands campus. You’re invited to a seminar where you can come see Swedish/Issaquah, hear from our expert physicians, and ask your questions in a relaxed setting. Then, if a Swedish weight loss program makes sense for you, you can follow in the much-lighter footsteps of Kearsten Weeks.

want us to consider or things you like or don't like about the current design," said Chad Zettle, Sound Transit architect. Arnold Tomac, chairman for the city of Redmond's pedestrian bicycle advisory committee, said the city is working on a funding agreement with Sound Transit to pay for the pedestrian bridge at the Overlake Village transit station, which also will allow for bicycle traffic. Having a bridge there was deemed crucial for crossing SR 520 and keeping cyclists away from 148th Avenue Northeast, he said. "There's a lot of people in Bellevue, and we wanted them to have access," he said. As the city looks at infrastructure improvements to follow along with transit development and economic growth, there also are plans to link the 520 Trail to one at Northup Way, said Tomac. "We'll have a continuous link, basically from Redmond to (the University of Washington) when this thing is all done," he said. Sound Transit also is working on a funding agreement with Microsoft for the pedestrian bridge at the Overlake Transit Center, which will provide better connectivity for its Redmond campus. Residents questioned Sound Transit's design for parking, which would expand parking at the Overlake Village station at 152nd Avenue Northeast and only make 320 spaces available in a garage to be constructed at the Overlake Transit Center at Northeast 40th Street. Some said they felt demand will be higher and the agency should plan for more parking levels within the garage. Sound Transit also is seeking feedback on how the garage should look, said architect Debora Ashland. Where parking is currently at the Overlake Transit Center there will be a bus loop added with Microsoft using its

shuttle service there, as well. When construction begins, likely in 2016, neither bus nor Microsoft's shuttle services will be disrupted as they will be allocated temporary facilities, said Zettle. The Overlake Transit Center has been designed to include one platform between the east and west light rail tracks while separate platforms will be used at the Overlake Village station. Canopies will be incorporated on the bridges, at the platforms and over ticket vending machines. A screen wall system also is planned to provide a barrier between SR 520 and the Overlake stations, said Zettle, and Sound Transit is now working with the state transportation department to make sure its landscape design fits state requirements along the freeway. Sound Transit is seeking ideas about what to name the two transit stations, which should be reflective of the neighborhoods where they will be located and no more than 30 characters in length. Rod and Linda Carr moved to Redmond in 1979, before SR 520 existed, and said they are great supporters of Sound Transit in both its bus and light rail services. While they agree with residents who said more parking will be needed, they can't wait for the East Link extension to be completed. "It's unbelievably cheap and it's unbelievably fast," said Linda Carr, adding of the 2023 launch date, "It's a shame it will take that long, but I guess that's what it is." Overlake segment design information is planned to be published sometime next week, where residents may also provide comment at www.soundtransit.org/eastlink.

bell's death. He remembers first sitting down with Campbell after winning his election to council and talking about city issues at one of her favorite spots in the Crossroads neighborhood. "She had stacks of papers and, boy, she really knew all this stuff," he said. "... She wasn't just single-focused on things. She had a good grasp of the whole scope of things that the city can do and the council can do." Stokes said the city council plans to honor her memory and civic service at its Monday City Council meeting. After her time on the council, Campbell joined the Youth Eastside Services's board of directors and recommended Patti Shelton-McGougan for the nonprofit's executive director position. They'd met while Campbell was serving on the council and Shelton-McGougan was working for the city. "I owe her a lot for what she's done for the community and also me personally," said Shelton-McGougan, adding of the former board member, "All of us at YES! are truly going to miss her, and our thoughts are with her family ... She had a way about her, about getting things done in such an amazing way." Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

The first female mayor of Bellevue, Campbell served in that position from 1988-89 and before that she served as a city councilmember for three terms. She remained active in her community and also its politics, endorsing Lynne Robinson and Steve Kasner in this year's city council election. "She not only endorsed me; Nan met with me, frequently called me on the phone, emailed me and liked me on Facebook!," said Robinson in a statement. "She believed in community roots, and networked tirelessly on my behalf. … Nan was, up until her accident, still advocating for the Crossroads Triangle to the Bellevue City Council, and was following the council meetings on her TV. She remained informed, sharp, and passionate about Bellevue. Nan was a gift to our community who had a lot more to give. We are all devastated by her loss."

Overlake surgeons show new robotic stapler for colon

Overlake colorectal surgeons demonstrated Wednesday the new EndoWrist Robotic Stapler, a surgical device used to repair a variety of conditions affecting the colon. Overlake’s fellowship-trained, colorectal surgeons, Martin Herman, MD, and Mitra Ehsan, MD, showed members of the media how the stapler is used and why it can make a significant difference in the lives of patients. Overlake is the first hospital in the Northwest to add the new robotic tool to assist surgeons doing colorectal procedures in the delicate and confined spaces of the pelvis. Dr. Herman was the first surgeon in Washington state to use the EndoWrist Stapler in a colorectal surgery. Colorectal surgeons using the EndoWrist stapler and the da Vinci robotic system can

operate with enhanced vision and greater precision, dexterity and control. Surgeons use a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and special wristed instruments that bend and rotate with maneuverability far greater than the human wrist. At Overlake, the EndoWrist Stapler is used in procedures such as robotic colectomy and rectopexy, and will help deliver the following benefits to patients: less blood loss, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery. “Our top priority at Overlake Medical Center is to provide all our patients with exceptional medical care,” said Craig Hendrickson, CEO of Overlake Medical Center. “This new surgical technology is one way we can make sure our patients receive the best care possible.”

Press releases are one of the easiest, least expensive and most effective ways to keep the media –and through them, the public—up-to-date on your company and its events. As you can see here, there are some basic rules for writing press releases that work.

Holiday Home Tour

A self-guided tour of five amazing homes in Woodinville

Friday December 6 10am - 7pm Tickets $30

Newsworthy: Press releases read like news – not sales or marketing promotions. If they read like advertising, editors will ignore them. Concise: Keep press releases short, just one or two pages, if possible.

Orderly: Write “more” at the bottom of the first page if there are multiple page. Use END, or -30- at the end of the last page, even for one-page press releases.

Catchy: Write an interesting lead that gets to the point, and fast. Everything of critical importance should be in the headline and the first paragraph. If it doesn’t pique the reader’s interest immediately, don’t expect anyone to wade through the rest.

Responsive: When reporters contact you, respond promptly. The reporter who calls you may be working on a story for tomorrow’s paper or writing an article for an online news site that will be posted that day. If you call back too late, you won’t make it into the story.

Jargon-Free: Your press release should be easily understood by anyone reading it. Get rid of unnecessary jargon. Current: Include the release date or “For Immediate Release” at the top of page one under the contact information and write “NEWS RELEASE” IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER.

906455

Available from Chapter members, by phone at 425-556-5106 and on our website eastside.assistanceleague.org

Targeted: Know your audience. Instead of sending your press release to a wide audience, develop a targeted list of the journalists and publications that cover the subject matter and are likely to be receptive by the readers.

Actionable: Include a contact name with telephone number and an e-mail address.

Attachments: Include a photo caption, sources, contact and a release date. Timely: Take deadlines and lead times into account. Newspaper need copy daily, and wire services and Web sites can generate new copy hourly. Distribution: The Reporter Newspapers prefer you email your press release. Follow up: Reporters receive numerous press releases on a daily basis. If you decide to follow up with a phone call, tell them immediately the topic of the release and the exact date you sent it to them.

Real Change comes to Bellevue The Real Change Homeless Empowerment Project is expanding its reach to the Eastside. The Seattle-based organization has partnered with Congregations for the Homeless in Bellevue to provide an opportunity for low-income and homeless individuals to profit from sales of the nonprofit’s weekly publication. Real Change sells its newspapers to independent vendors, who resell the papers at a higher cost and keep the profits. Managing Director Alan Preston said the success vendors have had in Seattle needed to be extended as an opportunity for those on the Eastside where homelessness is sometimes overlooked or hidden. “It’s more stigmatized here on the Eastside,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean that poverty doesn’t exist. It doesn’t mean that homelessness doesn’t exist.” Under the arrangement, prospective vendors will go to the day center on 108th Avenue Northeast to apply, purchase

newspapers and receive their Real Change badges. The paper increased the resale cost of the papers from $1 to $2 in April, while keeping the vendor cost at 60 cents. That means each paper sold puts $1.40 in the pockets of those in need. What they do with their income, said Preston, is up to them. “You’re an independent business person when it comes to this paper,” he said during an outreach and orientation session at the day center on Monday (Nov. 18). Real Change launched in Bremerton two weeks ago after service organizations expressed an urgent need for the publication and its job opportunities, though the Eastside had been picked first. Instead, Preston said Bremerton served as a pilot project before coming to the Eastside. Real Change was planned to launch in spring 2014, but is getting an early start to capitalize on the spirit of holiday giving. “It is the best time of the year for vendors to sell,” said Preston. Colin Werre, a down-on-his-luck painter who was laid off when business became slow, said he prefers selling Real Change to

taking a hand-out. While the publication didn’t officially launch on the Eastside until Wednesday (Nov. 21), he picked up his papers in advance. “I started right away,” he said. “I was eager because this is the only way I could make money right away legitimately. … It’s been tough, so it definitely gives people an opportunity who want to earn a living and not just live off the system.” Werre said there is a feeling that Bellevue is an affluent place that doesn’t acknowledge homelessness. However, he’s hopeful selling Real Change will help him stand out from panhandlers as someone trying to better himself. Maybe, he said, it will open up other job opportunities in the future. “I have noticed a difference. It’s a slight difference, but I have noticed a difference where people are a little nicer,” he said. “Half the time, people don’t want the paper.

Caught (not so) alone in the dark

Sat. launch party for self-help book

Trailer for ‘Deadline,’ a short film shot partially downtown and at Bellevue College, premieres at WSSN Showcase

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

A West Bellevue author and artist will host a launch event in Kirkland Saturday for her self-help book. “Twelve and Three Quarter Steps to a Life of Prosperity, Wealth, and Joy,” by Cecilia Todd, is a guide to improving life and personal outlook. From the way Todd describes her manuCecilia Todd script, the book may be considered a spiritual remix, influenced by the works that most inspired the author as she took control of her own depression, given context by how she applied the principles she culled and formulated to her own life. “It is an account of the things that I’ve done and (times of) low self esteem, when I had no money, and I was unhappy and depressed,” she said.

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

A short film partially shot downtown and at Bellevue College will premiere its trailer in Bellingham and Lynnwood Friday, Nov. 22. The 75-second preview for “Deadline” – a thriller written, directed and produced by independent filmmaker and former Bellevue College student Doug Stapleton – will be shown as part of the Washington State Studio Network’s Fall Showcase. The film follows what happens to a young professional when she’s stuck alone in her office building, working late on a project. “I conceived the idea several years ago when I was working for Expedia,” Stapleton said. “I was in the office late, alone like in the movie, and my car was parked deep in the garage. Deep enough I would have to drive up several ramps before reaching ground level. And getting down there, by myself and in the dark, I could hear everything. I could hear the water in the pipes, the HVAC system running … it was creepy and it got me thinking.” After fleshing out the concept, Stapleton created a Facebook page and IndieGoGo fundraiser in early summer last year. The project caught some early buzz, and generated more as it went into the casting and production stage, he said. The bulk of the film was shot in the Tacoma Financial Center over three days. However, Stapleton ran into a problem when he scouted for his exterior shots. “I couldn’t find the right angle for shooting the building,” he said. Unsure what to do, he was driving by downtown Bellevue when he noticed the skyline was perfect for what he needed. During post-production, he was able to collect additional interior shots at Bellevue College’s television studio,

Newport wins two relays, 4A title The swim and dive state championships brought more hardware back to Bellevue in the form of individual trophies and yet another 4A team scoring title for Newport, which repeated its feat from last year while adding a pair of relay championships in the process. The Knights, which won the team title last year despite no individual or relay championships, brought home the championship in the 200 yard freestyle relay behind senior Emily Waddell, sophomore Jenny Huo, senior Maggie Pana and senior Lorea Gwo, who dropped nearly two full seconds off their preliminary time to swim one minute, 39.26 seconds in the finals and edge out Gig Harbor by nine-hundredths of a second. They picked up another title in the 400 free relay, but without quite as much drama at the wall, as Gwo, Pana, Maddie Rainey and Elisa Fang won by more than two seconds in a time of 3:34.00 to capture the title in front of Richland. Rainey, Huo, Fang and Waddell just missed making it three relay championships, finishing second in the 200 medley relay in 1:49.75. Pana finished fifth in the 200 free in 1:55.91 and a second place finish in the 500 free, swimming 5:10.45. Fang and Gwo were fourth and sixth respectively in the 50 free for Newport, and Emily Waddell also swam the prelims. Gwo picked up a third place finish in the 100 fly in 57.20 and Fang was fourth in the 100 backstroke in 57.10 to earn a medal.

Sports Roundup

What’s happening in sports and recreation

Late goal sends Bellevue to semi-finals Bellevue got the game-winning goal from senior Clarice Bruch with only seconds remaining in the game and after its 1-0 lead had been erased minutes earlier to beat Auburn Moutainview 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the 3A girls soccer state tournament and keep its season alive in the process. Isabelle Butterfield put her team on top in the second half off a Sabrina Mohazzabfar assist before Auburn-Mountainview tied things up at one apiece. But the Wolverines punched their ticket to the semi-finals on Bruch’s goal, and are now two wins away from a state championship in its first ever state tournament appearance. Kamiakin, which beat Peninsula 3-0 in the opening round and survived a 1-0 game with Mount Spokane in the quarters, will make the trip to Sparks Stadium in Puyallup for a 2 p.m. 3A state semi-final match. The winner faces either Seattle Prep or Liberty in Saturday’s title match.

Newport wins two, fourth at state volleyball Newport finished the most prolific season in school history on the volleyball court at the 4A state tournament in Lacey, winning its first two matches to advance to the semi-finals before finishing fourth. An opening round win over Spanaway Lake sent the KingCo champs to a quarterfinal match with Central Valley, which went the same as the conference title win over Skyline the week prior for the Knights. After dropping the first two games 17-25, Newport won three straight to earn its spot in Saturday’s semi-finals.

A 25-20 win put the Knights up early in its Saturday match against Curtis, but three straight losses, the final by only two points, ended their state title hopes. That match sent them to the third-place contest against Emerald Ridge before a 3-1 loss ended the season with the program’s highest finish ever at a state tournament. Newport, which did not lose a conference match all season, also picked up the highest finish of a 4A KingCo team at the tournament, with Skyline seventh and Bothell eighth.

Bellevue wins third straight state title Another year, another state water polo title for the Bellevue boys. All-State Offensive MVP Marco Stanchi and first team selections George French and Zack Rossman led their team to a third straight championship, beating Roosevelt in the semi-finals before coming back with a win over rival Mercer Island for the title. Liam Naughton earned second team All-State honors while Silas Chapman was named honorable mention.

Bellevue seniors sign for lacrosse A pair of Bellevue seniors signed a National Letter of Intent last week, pledging to continue their educations and lacrosse careers for the 2013-14 year. Hank Bethke, a three-time All-State selection for the Wolverines, will play for The Ohio State University while Eric Haehl committed to the University of Richmond. Bellevue has won the past two state titles in Division I boys lacrosse and finished 21-2-0 last year.

preliminary time to touch the wall in two minutes, 00.64 seconds and win by nearly a four-second margin. It was a tighter finish in the 100 breaststroke, but again it was Williams to the fall first, swimming 1:02.11 to bring her state championship total to five in three prep meets. She teamed with Christina McDermott, Naomi Ngo and Hannah Walsh in the 200 medley relay, where the Wolverines finished second in 1:50.15. Walsh also took her turn on the diving board and earned a top-10 finish, scoring 289.80 points in the finals to finish eighth. Ngo got on the podium in the 100 fly, finishing third in 58.31 and also made the B Final of the 200 IM, finishing third. McDermott was the third place finisher in the B Final of

Newport falls, Bellevue set for quarters Bellevue (12-0) VS. Peninsula (9-3), 3 p.m. Saturday The Wolverines wasted little time in last week’s opening round playoff matchup, taking care of Glacier Peak 48-6 and advancing to this week’s quarterfinals against Peninsula in Purdy. Bellevue has scored fewer than 40 points only once in the past six games, and that came in a 38-7 win over Liberty. Juanita, which scored 14 in a lopsided loss to the Wolverines in early October, is the only team this year to put up more than 13 points in a game.

Andrea Jiang, Meghan Ng, Brenna Smith and Walsh swam the 200 free relay, finishing seventh in the B Final in 1:46.94. Bellevue’s quartet of Ngo, Uyeno, McDermott and Williams was fifth in the 400 free relay. Interlake senior Anna Kimura was second in the B Final of the 200 IM. Interlake was eighth in the finals of the 200 medley relay as Kimura, Shannon Cassady, Lianna Sutich and Cyssi Ngo finished in 1:55.21 and just one-one-hundredth of a second out of seventh. Sutich, Crystal Ma, Ngo and Mackey also made the prelims of the 200 free relay. Cassady swam the prelims of the 100 breast as well. Kimura, Pia Salgado, Sutich and Mackey teamed for the 400 free relay, with the Saints not in the finals. Senior Brigid Mackey was sixth for Interlake in the 200 free, swimming 2:01.63 in the finals.

Bellarmine Prep erased a 21-0 first half deficit and scored the game’s final 10 points in two minutes to stun the Knights 38-35 on a 20-yard field goal from Matthew Philichi with only nine seconds left, ending Newport’s season in crushing fashion. “It is like a punch in the gut,” head coach Mike Miller said. The loss ends the season for the Knights one game short of last year’s state quarterfinal appearance, and marks the final game in the prep careers of Conner Baumann amd a host of other seniors, a fact Miller said was the most upsetting part of the loss. “I’m feeling it in my heart right now, especially for our seniors,” he said.

Top-10 Totems in 2A Sammamish picked up its best finish of the meet in the 200 free relay, earning a seventh-place finish with the quartet of Blaire Ziegan, Nicole Wen, Janae Gallant and Maddie Dohm finishing in 1:49.66 in the finals. Leah Topp and Gillian Matthes replaced Gallant and Dohm in the 400 free relay, where Sammamish was third in the B Final. Sophomore diver McKenna Troje earned a top-10 finish in the 2A competition, finishing with a total score of 283.10, significantly bettering her preliminary mark of 200.45. Teammate Nakita Hesketh was 12th with a score of 255.60, adding more than 60 points to her prelim score. Matthes, a junior, swam the prelims in the 20 free, finishing in 2:12.79, and made the B Final of the 100 breast, finishing second in the consolation heat. Teammate Aliza Ben-Varon was in the field for the prelims of the event. Ziegan was in the preliminary field for the 50 free and swam a 27.57 for the Totems, which ended the meet in 17th place in the team scoring.

Though Stapleton and his production company, Photo Finish Films, have produced numerous projects – including music videos, training and marketing videos, and concert and sport videography – “Deadline” was their second fictional narrative. Previous project “Take 38” won the Director’s Choice Award at the 2012 Gig Harbor Film Festival and was an official selection at the 2013 Seattle True Independent Film Festival in May. “Deadline’s” final cut was completed in fall, and a private screening was held for cast, crew and donors in October. The film will not be made publicly available, pending its consideration for the Seattle International Film Festival. If it is accepted, it will be shown at SIFF in summer 2014.

her childhood amidst the World War II blitzkrieg. She became a nun when she a teenager, but eventually left the order. Trained at the Royal Academy of Art in London, she taught painting in England, Canada and New York while building her own artistic career. At 40, macular degeneration struck her blind and forced her to stop painting. She attended writing school and obtained her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Washington. Her eyesight was partially restored by surgery and, with encouragement from family and friends, she began painting again until she retired again — this time voluntarily — about four years ago. “I just thought, ‘I’m done now,’” she said. “It was like Ansel Adams … He was a very successful photographer but, when he was about 60 years old, he didn’t want to do it anymore.” Todd was shadowed by depression brought on by her personal setbacks and, she theorized, partially inherited from her parents, who had themselves faced underemployment in their fields. She read into metaphysics, a branch of philosophy perhaps best described as the study of being. The lessons she took informed the creation of her book’s steps. The first 12 steps are those intended to help the reader foster change in their life. The three-quarters are not a partial step, but rather a coda of three mini-steps. Todd requested this coda not be detailed, but the three-quarters can be generally described as tools for reinforcing the prior twelve. “This isn’t a book intended to be read once and set aside,” Todd said. “It’s a process — a work book.” The launch party will be held at Park Place Books from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. The bookstore is located at 348 Park Place Center in Kirkland. The book is available for sale in select bookstores, on amazon.com and from Todd’s website twelveandthreequartersteps.com, which is scheduled to go live on Saturday.

The Bellevue Schools Foundation has awarded 97 grants to teachers in every school across the Bellevue School District to help provide learning beyond textbooks. Examples of the $65,000 in grants made through the Enrichment & Innovation grants program include: ■ Bringing the Philharmonic Woodwind Quintet to perform “Peter and the Wolf ” for Ardmore Elementary students. ■ Helping build the Mandarin book collection at Bellevue’s new Jing Mei Elementary. ■ Guiding Newport Elementary third grade explorers to Eastside historic sites. ■ Motivating Lake Hills Elementary fifth graders to set their sights on college with a visit to the University of Washington. ■ Starting a garden at Bellevue Big Picture School for students to design their own minifarms that incorporate “next generation science standards.” ■ Opening the world of nanotechnology to Newport High students with new ExoLab microscope cameras and field trips to UW and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. ■ Inspiring art students at the International School with master classes with artist and printmaker April Richardson.

Anthony Lewis-Asaidali Villani

Anthony Lewis-Asaidali Villani, age 1, was welcomed into the Lord’s Kingdom on November 2, 2013. Anthony was born on July 16, 2012 in Bellevue, WA and has been living with his mother in Kansas where his father has been stationed for the Army. Anthony was always cheerful and loving. He loved to dance to music and his favorite hobby was eating and watching Spongebob. He was obsessed with peanut butter crackers and would always peak inside the bowl after his mom would take a bite of his food, just too make sure she didn’t eat it all. Anthony loved watching older children play, and was more interested in them than kids his own age. He referred to all animals as “oofoof ” and loved playing with his grandpa Baba’s beard. Family members include his mother Keri Villani and father, Fearyus Frazier; grandparents, Mina Fisher, Chris Villani, Frentress Villani, Diane Frazier, and Kevin Frazier; great grandparents, Amir and Sue Asaidali; aunts, Christina Villani and Arielle Asaidali, uncles, Quiante Fisher and Joseph Perez; cousin, Quintin Perez, and cousin/aunt Victoria Pettis and numerous extended family. As Anthony warmed the hearts of many of us, we will celebrate his life at 1:00 p.m. on November 26 at Evergreen Washelli Cemetery of Seattle, 11111 Aurora Ave. N. Seattle, WA 98133. The memorial will be held inside the chapel at Washelli, with a private family burial to follow. Online tributes for Anthony can be made at www.washelli.com. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made out to Keri Villani or submitted at: www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/fundsfor-joon-joon-the-love-bug/103292. 928951

Minnie Sternoff left memorable impressions throughout her life. She was socially conscious, charitable, ethical, generous, fair, reasonable, insightful, fiscally wise, a close follower of politics, gave sound business advice, and was inspiring to her three children, two grandchildren and friends. She was kind, caring, educated and fearless. She was direct, didn’t suffer fools and told them. Long before women’s lib, Minnie was liberated. She never forgot the depression, clipped coupons, observed how fate or foolishness can cause you to lose everything and that nothing good comes from greed. She read thousands of books and for years, subscribed to 5 papers. Born Minnie Rosenkrantz October 24, 1920 in Aberdeen, WA, middle child to immigrant Russian Jewish parents, William and Mary, Minnie and brothers Oscar and Alex were raised to know how fortunate they were to be born here. Ahead of her time in many ways, Minnie swam, played victorious tennis over her gentlemen friends, and earned a business degree at the UW. In her early 20s, when her father had died and her brothers were in the military, she put her education and capability to work. She took over Western Machinery, the Aberdeen family business, selling equipment to logging mills run by men who, years later, remembered Minnie as formidable. Renamed Western Steel, she was on the board into her 70’s, and the company today is run by her brother Oscar and her niece Jill Rosenkrantz. Minnie met Irving Sternoff from Seattle on a blind date. They married in ’49 and moved into a small house in Magnolia. In’57, they bought in Bellevue, and eventually, Kirkland. Minnie encouraged her children to read, travel, and expand their world. Bill became a network news correspondent; Bob, a developer; and Sandy, a CPA. Irv and his brothers owned Sternoff Metals, and when her signature was needed on business documents, Minnie didn’t cosign blindly. She asked questions and insisted on changes that impacted the business and investments. Minnie and Irv dined at Canlis and Trader Vic’s, took the family to the Hong Kong Restaurant every Sunday night, supported the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, and numerous charities. They traveled to operas in the USSR, went to Israel, Egypt, Australia, drove through Europe, took cruises, and made friends everywhere. Never shy, if Minnie wanted to be seated at the captain’s table on cruises or wanted fresh fruit in Moscow where it was scarce, she got it! She loved her parents, her family, the sun, ocean beaches, deep tans, Palm Springs, cruising the Gulf Islands, oysters, Dungeness crab, razor clams, throwing parties, gardening, playing the horses, shooting craps in Vegas, and dressed with style, bought on sale or lay-away. She taught herself to cook, and her soufflés, blintzes, latkes, matzo balls, gefilte fish and corned beef were legend. Minnie adored and carried Charlie, her miniature Pekinese, everywhere. When retailer I. Magnin banned dogs, she never shopped there again. Minnie had character, common sense, was a person of integrity, honor, dignity, fortitude and purpose. In Yiddish, Minnie was a mensch. Bill, Bob, Sandy (J., John and Jennifer), grandchildren Sarah and Andrew, brother Oscar and his wife, Jackie, nieces Jill, Jody, Julie and nephew Bill survive her and will miss her deeply. Minnie turned 93 a few weeks ago, her life enhanced by her doctors and exceptional care and companionship provided by Patsie DeYoung and Ursula Schanne, to whom the family is very grateful. And true to form, Minnie was sharp, engaged, looking ahead, and laughing to the end. Minnie, and Irv who died in 2006, took nothing and no one for granted, valued their friends, were loved, and will forever be remembered as good people. Minnie requested no funeral, but in her honor, please consider contributions to the Jewish Family Service, Providence Hospice of Seattle or any charity that helps people in need. 926867
