Bellevue man facing murder charge in aunt’s death BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The King County Prosecutor’s Office filed a second-degree murder with a deadly weapon charge against a 53-year-old Bellevue man Wednesday, three days after his aunt was found dead inside an apartment they shared in downtown. Bellevue Police arrested Mark J. Irwin early Monday morning after being dis-
patched to a unit at the Twelve Central Square apartments the night before after another family member found his aunt, Barbara Irwin, dead and covered with a sheet. The family member went to Mark J. Irwin her apartment Sunday night after failing to reach her by phone, using a ladder to access the unit from an
unlocked sliding door on the deck. A police report states Barbara Irwin, 72, had the back of her skull caved in. Detectives found a claw hammer in the laundry room, which had been recently cleaned, but tested positive for blood. It is believed to be the murder weapon. Irwin was found with blood and scratches on his body sitting in his aunt’s car about 100 yards from her residence, according to the police report. A man with
Irwin in the car allegedly told officers the two men had smoked crack earlier in the day. Irwin told authorities he’d gone to Seattle to smoke crack, was robbed and later came home on a bus. He said he didn’t have a key to his aunt’s apartment, and slept in the lobby. A family member told police his wife had spoken to Mark Irwin earlier when he answered his aunt’s cellphone, and SEE MURDER, 8
Bellevue police chief recalls 35 years in law enforcement

When Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo started her 35-year career in law enforcement as an officer in Mercer Island in 1979, it was still odd for people to see a woman on the force — there wasn't even a women's locker room. "I just always took my uniform and went to the restroom," said Pillo during her retirement party Tuesday at City Hall. "I remember having to convince citizens that I was a real police officer." She added the tickets she issued always got the point across. After joining the Bellevue Police Department in 1986, Pillo steadily rose up the ranks, becoming the first female police chief in 2007. She was also the first female captain, major and deputy chief. "She was pretty much the first woman going up every rank starting at sergeant," said Mayor Claudia Balducci during Tuesday's retirement party. "… We have just a really safe city and a great (police) department, and for the past seven years that's been under the leadership of Chief Pillo."

The Bellevue City Council put its best offer on the table Monday night to acquire contentious property rights needed to extend Northeast Fourth Street to 120th Avenue Northeast. Mayor Claudia Balducci opposed the offer in order to send a message that she feels the offer goes "too far" after Best Buy and another property owner repeatedly demanded more money from the city. A transportation project of major importance to several others in the Wilburton and Bel-Red areas of the city, councilmembers conceded extending Northeast Fourth from 116th to 120th avenues northeast was the linchpin project that couldn't be scrapped. And, after lengthy legal mitigation, the council put out an offer to Bellevue 116th Property LLC and Best Buy for $6.2 million and $12.84 million, respectively. A new five-lane arterial Northeast Fourth is planned to cut through the south end of the Best Buy store and parking lot during Phase Two of the project, slated to start in 2015 with the entire roadway opened by fall 2016. The city is exercising eminent domain to run its transportation project through a portion of the Best Buy store, however, the retail company also filed suit over the city's actions. The Northeast Fourth extension, from where it ends at 116th Avenue Northeast to 120th Avenue Northeast, is part of several projects to improve mobility between downtown Bellevue, the Bel-Red corridor and Overlake area.

Energize Eastside project sparks opposition BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
As Puget Sound Energy continues community engagement for its Energize Eastside project, running 18 miles of transmission lines from Redmond to Renton, a group in the Somerset neighborhood of Bellevue isn’t buying the company’s claim that it’s for the betterment of the people. PSE proposes to run the transmission lines on either of two routes through mostly public right of way (See map) and in areas where older 115 kilovolt lines already exist, replacing them with 230 kilovolt lines. Bellevue is currently running on a system that was put in place in the 1960s, said Andy Wappler, PSE vice president of corporate affairs. But that was when there were about 50,000 residents on the Eastside and not the 300,000 today, or the 275 percent growth of central business in Bellevue projected by 2040. Wappler said 2014 will be spent conducting public engagement, which includes a community advisory group.
This map shows two potential routes for Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project, which would run 18 miles of transmission lines from Renton to Redmond. COURTESY ART, PSE “It’s to serve Bellevue and the rest of the community and our customers,” said Wappler of Energize Eastside. “ So, to have people involved and to know about it is a good thing.” But the Somerset Community Association argues the demand for more energy on the Eastside is being inflated by PSE to satisfy another agenda. “The line shouldn’t be built because we should be doing things on the conservation side,” said Todd Anderson, chairman for the Somerset Community Association technical committee. Anderson, who holds a masters degree
in electrical engineering, contends the factoring in extreme weather and rises to $155-$288 million that would go into the 756 megawatts for the Eastside. project could provide enough conservation The needs assessment also points out measures to negate the need for the project.

Interim Bellevue police chief to be a familiar face Former Bellevue chief Jim Montgomery comes out of retirement BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Former Bellevue Police Chief Jim Montgomery has come out of retirement to replace Chief Linda Pillo following her own retirement from the city this week after a 35-year career in law enforcement. Montgomery served as police chief here for 10 years, retiring in 2007. Pillo, who became Bellevue's first female police Jim Montgomery chief when she succeeded Montgomery as interim chief in 2007, then chief in 2008, retired on Tuesday, April 15. In his 43 years in law enforcement, Montgomery previously served seven years as King County sheriff and five years as police chief in Boise. He oversaw completion of Bellevue's state-of-the-art police station during City Hall construction. According to an internal city memo sent by City Manager Brad Miyake to staff last Friday, April 4, Montgomery, 70, will
assume the role of interim police chief for 6-9 months while a nationwide search for a permanent chief continues. He will rejoin the ranks of the Bellevue Police Department once he has completed required examinations to be reinstated as a peace officer in the state of Washington. "Chief Montgomery brings two critical things to this assignment — stability and experience," states Miyake. "He knows our community, having served as the city’s police chief from 1997 to 2007. Chief Montgomery is looking forward to coming back to Bellevue to lead our top-notch police department. "It’s been nearly seven years since he was at the helm of Bellevue Police Department, and he will no doubt rely heavily on the department’s two deputy chiefs to run the day to day operations. I do expect that he will look at the current and future needs of the department through a different lens. This fresh perspective will be invaluable to the recruitment and assessment processes."

her leg and showed her gun on her ankle," joked Miyake. Pillo said she plans to spend her retirement as a snow bird, spending part of her time in Palm Springs and working on her golf game. Her last act as chief during her speech to law enforcement, city staff and family and friends on Tuesday was to turn off her cellphone, saying she is no longer on call. Former Police Chief Jim Montgomery is coming out of retirement to replace her temporarily as a nationwide search for a permanent chief continues. He starts once he is recertified as a peace officer in Washington state. Pillo was recognized Tuesday by the FBI and Secret Service for her dedication to law enforcement, and was also gifted her past police badges in a picture frame by the Bellevue Police Benevolent

Rodney Tom drops out of Senate race
Community Roundup What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere
Bellevue Police officer fired
BY MATT PHELPS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
One of the most hotly contested races in the state has been brewing between former Kirkland mayor Joan McBride and Sen. Rodney Tom for his 48th Legislative District seat. But that political battle unexpectedly came to an end this week. Tom, D-Medina, announced that he would not seek re-election because of personal and family-related issues. “Since the end of session, I have continued to work through some health issues, but the main reason for my decision Rodney Tom is my 85-year-old father who was hit by a car last week while walking in a grocery store parking lot," Tom said. "He's going to require a lot of physical therapy over the next several months and I'm the only son who lives close to him." The district includes the northern portion of Bellevue along with Medina, Clyde Hill, the Points communities and a Joan McBride portion of Kirkland and Redmond. Tom, 50, became a political lightning rod last year when he chose to caucus with Republicans in the Majority Coalition Caucus, giving the Republicans control of the Senate. Tom, a two-term senator, began his career as a Republican and later switched parties to become a Democrat. Tom's departure opens up a door for McBride, who has already raised more than $60,000. McBride said that she continues to gain endorsements from around the area, including Rep. Ross Hunter and Rep. Cyrus Habib from the 48th District, along with many mayors and key council members.
One of Linda Pillo’s final acts as Bellevue police chief was to fire an officer Wednesday following an internal investigation into his conduct during a November traffic stop where he let a fellow officer off the hook for allegedly driving under the influence. The department announced the firing of Ofc. Doug Brennan, who pulled over fellow Bellevue Ofc. Andrew Hanke on Nov. 20 after observing a Jeep Cherokee swerving eastbound on I-90. Rather than arrest Hanke, Brennan reports he called the officer’s wife to pick him up. Brennan reports Hanke’s wife arrived and drove her husband home in his vehicle while the officer waited with her vehicle until she returned to reclaim it. During this time, Brennan reports notifying two Bellevue Police lieutenants about Hanke’s drunk driving. This prompted an internal investigation into both officers and a DUI charge for Hanke in Issaquah Municipal Court. He resigned in January. According to a news release from the BPD, Brennan’s actions violated department policies, including code of ethics, alternatives to arrest and confinement and false information. Brennan has been with the department since 1999 and had been on administrative leave since Feb. 4.

EDITORIAL
Tom again makes right choice for right reason
T
he announcement that Sen. Rodney Tom of Medina will not seek re-election to the Legislature certainly jump-started the political season. Tom, a Democrat, already was facing a challenge in his own party from Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride. That wasn’t surprising since many Democrats were livid that Tom became the Senate Majority Leader when he and another Democratic senator joined with the Republicans to give them control of the Senate. While Tom stepped down as a Democrat, he once was a Republican. That ability to see the good in both political outlooks probably is more in tune with most voters. Truebelievers may run the parties, but they don’t speak for the majority of people in this state. That’s one of the reasons voters approved a Top Two primary system. Republicans won’t want to admit it, but Tom was right to switch to the Democratic Party some years ago. The GOP was stubborn on social issues that over time put them at odds with the majority of people in this state. Likewise, the Democrats have too often shown that they are far too willing to raise taxes to promote social programs that, while admirable, aren’t affordable. Tom, to his credit, wouldn’t go along and thus the Senate coalition was born. What’s unfortunate is that the political polarization that has hobbled Congress for several years is showing some of those symptoms here, too. To say it’s unhealthy is an understatement. Tom is stepping down for personal, not political reasons. His 85-year-old father reacently was hit by a car while walking in the grocery store parking lot (in a crosswalk with his cane). Tom is the only son who lives in the area to help him him with his recovery. “I have always said that health and family are my number one values, and instead of that being merely a campaign slogan, I really do try to live by them,” Tom told his Senate colleagues, As he has many times in the past, Tom is making the right decision for the right reason. We’ll miss that in Olympia. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

also value access to education. Whether a student has just graduated from high school or is retraining to build a better life for his or her family, nearly one-third of students at Bellevue College use transit as their primary means of getting to school. Yet, without funding to replace revenues that are expiring this year, Metro may soon be forced to reduce bus service for those students. Routes serving students at UW Bothell, Cascadia College, and Lake Washington Technical College are all facing cuts as well. Metro transit cuts already have been made through legislation. Without this replacement funding, Metro will have no choice but to cut over one-third of its routes and leave thousands of our neighbors, seniors, students, disabled riders and working families stranded. Upwards of 75 percent of bus riders will be affected by these cuts. Through its 400,000 daily rides, Metro also takes cars off of Eastside streets and across the county.

he very first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. Established as a day of awareness, people back then undoubtedly saw a different set of hopes and conditions than we do today. Simply put, the earth was indeed different. It was on the leading edge of a turn in human behavior, a turn for the better. In 1970, Bellevue was a city of only 60,000 residents. Cherry Crest Elementary and Borghild Ringdall Middle School had just opened and a study by engineers, botanists, biologists and the state Fisheries Department showed that Mercer Slough was Jeff Borgida suffering from siltation and offseason flooding. Back then, words like “environment” and “sustainable” were not yet the triggers for planet stewardship that they are today. Even the notion of “being green” has evolved rapidly from birth to a place where it is about to be re-

Lost in a tech world We think

Three Clinics in Downtown Bellevue We think about you
Adult and family medicine and comprehensive primary care
I
never feel old. Never, that is, unless faced with troubleshooting a tech problem, learning how to use a new tech tool, or testing out a new app. In those situations I become ancient. Technology is the reason I have furrows in my forehead. Here are a few examples of my tech trials. Two months ago my home Wi-Fi connection disappeared. One techie, who should have known what was going on, told me the problem lay with the Comcast modem. My husband, who shouldn’t Ann Oxrieder have known, because his expertise lies in troubleshooting problems with 17th century musical instruments, insisted it was the router. I turned to Comcast for help and spent more than an hour explaining the problem and answering questions via chat support only to be disconnected when the server failed. When the server recovered I saw that my tech support person had signed off, even though I had remained faithful during the outage. I felt as rejected as a teenager whose prom date finds a better catch a week before the big dance. At that moment I considered using Wi-Fi
at the library or Starbucks and forgetting it at home altogether. Miraculously, the problem was solved when the techie who should have known better decided my husband, who had gone ahead and installed a new router, was right and we just needed to push the reset button. Duh. A few weeks ago a younger friend taught me how to use Instagram. I asked her how she figured it out. She said she spent a couple of hours reading about it on her desktop computer before trying it on her phone. Those are hours I wouldn’t have wanted to spend, though I’m glad she did. I was able to post an Instagrammed photo to Facebook. My excitement lasted only as long as it took me to realize that on Instagram you’re supposed to follow other photographers, so you can receive dozens of photos hourly on your phone. All I wanted was to make my pictures look old-fashioned and put a frame around them. Recently, I traded in my old smart phone. Within minutes I’d inadvertently made it clear to the Verizon salespeople that I was clueless about most of the features of the old phone. So why did I need a new one? Recently I whined about my technology failures to a friend and asked him whether my problems could be solved by turning a teenager loose in the house. Having had two at home years earlier, he suggested I might be better off facing my technology challenges on my own. Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http://stillalife. wordpress.com/.

Every time the city thought it was close to a resolution for property rights, said Chelminiak, the property owners wanted a more substantial offer — the most recent coming in a half hour before the council was to meet in executive session to discuss the legal matter on Monday. "I want to make it very, very clear," said Chelminiak. "I'm done. We've been through this enough." Balducci said she is also done and opposed the offer.

"I want to go on record to say that we've gone too far," the mayor said, adding how odd the occasion was that they went through so many executive sessions and took up the issue in such a fashion that night. "It's crazy what we've had to do on this project." The city already has granted Best Buy conditional approval to remodel its storefront to make way for the ongoing Northeast Fourth Street extension project and recover lost retail and parking space. Best Buy will demolish 11,021 square feet of retail space on the south side of its Bellevue store and add 9,964 square feet to its north side. The store will add a single-story parking garage on its east side to accommodate up to 226 vehicles. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Kemper Development Company has opted to place its request to use single-engine helicopters at its downtown Bellevue landing pad on hold to address safety concerns brought forth by the city following last month’s fatal crash in Seattle. A letter submitted by KDC’s legal counsel to the city land use director on April 4 states this was one of two options placed on the table by city legal planner Catherine Drews for addressing concerns about the safety of single-engine helicopters like the the one that crashed in Seattle during takeoff from the KOMO TV Heliport on March 18. Kemper was advised to either withdraw its application to modify its 2011 conditional use permit, which only allows twinengine choppers, or place its request on hold until an investigation into the Seattle crash is concluded by the National Transportation Safety Board. The helistop was constructed in 1988 and was granted temporary permits for limited landings at that time. Kemper applied for permitting in 2009, which prompted two years of study, multiple public hearings, hearing examiner appeals and decisions before the council approved a conditional use permit in May 2011. That decision was challenged in King County Superior Court and upheld by a judge in November of that year. Kemper will be expected to provide the city with information supporting the safety of single-engine turbine helicopters from the

Federal Aviation Administration, NTSB, state or other federal agencies and nongovernment research organizations. According to the city’s weekly permit bulletin, Bellevue staff believe safety information from the NTSB’s investigation into the March 18 crash will be relevant to its review of the KDC request. The letter submitted by KDC’s legal counsel comes one day after comments on behalf of local philanthro-
pist Ina Tateuchi opposing the CUP modification were submitted to the city. Tateuchi, who opposed the original CUP and was part of a number of petitioners who appealed the council’s decision in 2011, reiterated arguments that expert testimony at that time was that a single-engine helicopter would have no way of preventing a serious accident should it stall, unlike a twinengine chopper. “Therefore, as noted previously, Mrs. Tateuchi reserves all rights should the City persist in its current unlawful course,” her comments state. She states her strong opposition to
eliminating conditions recommended by the city hearing examiner at the time and imposed by the City Council. Prior to KDC putting its request on hold, the modification decision would have been made by the land use director through a code interpretation. “The staff ’s willingness to entertain the condition and expedite it as a staff amendment is equally disappointing to a public counting on City regulators for protection from harm,” Tateuchi states in her comments.

Bellevue Marriott to cater to Gen Y crowd A construction crew on Wednesday topped off the 17-story Marriott hotel being constructed on 110th Avenue Northeast and slated to open this fall. General Manager Rob Morgan says this Marriott is a new direction for the hotel chain that will cater to the Generation Y crowd. “The design of this hotel is so far from what a Marriott is, it’s unbelievable,” said Morgan. “Our design is

inspired by the new Marriott guest room concept. … It’s kind of an urban residential lifestyle design. That’s the guest room itself. It is also obviously very tech heavy, where your mobile devices will be able to work on the televisions.” Once completed, the Marriott Bellevue Hotel will also include a spacious lobby meant for congregating for business or pleasure, with a large bar, media centers and a restaurant to focus on Pacific Northwest cuisine, said Morgan. “It works well for the type of clientele that we’re dealing with, and the bar becomes a big feature,” Morgan said. The idea is that a number of Generation Y guests at the hotel will be there for business and like having the ability to work from any spot within the hotel and its 384 rooms. The hotel is expected to start filling its rooms on Oct. 8 and will start taking reservations in two weeks. “Right now, everything looks really good to reach that timeline,” said Morgan.

device plugging in to the back of a main computer and using Ethernet or USB to create a MultiPoint network of up to 20 workstations using one server. “It’s the magic of the two that makes this work so well,” said Yunger. “This is just basically a passthrough over Ethernet, and that’s what keeps (costs) low.” The HUB 400 zero-client sells for just under $100, and is currently being used in all elementary schools and some labs throughout the Bellevue School District — Yunger has three children in the school
district. The district uses six workstations per MultiPoint Server. “It gets the operating costs per seat down by a divider of about two, so it’s pretty economical,” said Carl Sweetland, director of technology for BSD. That savings allows the school district to buy up more computers and laptops, in general, Sweetland said, which is great when many districts across the state are struggling for capital. One downside is that
if the server goes down, it takes all six workstations with it. GreenBridge recommends running a backup PC through the HUB. The district is using the device in its elementary school classes, and in labs in elementary, middle and high schools. “My sense is that most companies in this space hate it because they see it as cannibalizing their core business, which is selling computers,” said Yunger from the Microsoft campus
on Monday, April 7. The response to the Hub 400 zero-client’s capabilities has gained enough traction that it’s being marketed outside of the educational realm and at businesses, the most recent being an exploration of its potential use by airlines. It is also being used by many Microsoft Technology Centers globally. “This all leverages the Cloud,” Yunger said, “so you can have whatever you want.”

Bellevue atop KingCo diamond
Wolverines sweep Virginia LAX trip
BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue head coach Pete Wilkinson knew there would be a learning curve for his young baseball team this season. The Wolverines entered the year with only four seniors on the roster, and proceeded to lose three of their first five games of the year. But despite the early setbacks, which also included an injury to one of those seniors, Wilkinson’s faith never wavered. “We’re not real experienced anywhere,” he said. “But they are resilient, and they learn like crazy.” Some of those lessons were learned the hard way over the first weeks of the season, as a tie against crosstown Newport highlighted the non-conference schedule. But against 2A/3A KingCo foes, the tide has quickly turned in the Wolverines’ favor. A 10-0 win over Sammamish got things started, before Bellevue took games from Lake Washington and Juanita. Interlake entered last week’s showdown as a fellow frontrunner in the conference, and jumped on top 3-0 after the first inning. But Bellevue whittled away at the lead, eventually tying the game in the top of the seventh and winning 5-3 in extra innings to stay perfect in conference play. Senior Brady Carlson said after losing two winner-tostate games last year, the focus for this year’s group was building a togetherness that could carry them through rough stretches. “We just had the will to win,” he said of the game against the Saints. “We just stuck with it and stayed positive.” The Class of 2014 may not boast the top-shelf talent of last year’s seniors, which featured current University of Washington outfielder Jack Meggs. But Wilkinson and
(Left to right) Seniors Chandler Hawk, Brady Carlson and Brad Klustner, along with the injured Cal Neely (not pictured), have been the leaders for Bellevue and coach Pete Wiklinson in 2014. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter Carlson said finding a cohesion that runs from the dugout to the field and back is far more critical than a roster full of potential draft choices. “The culture in the dugout wasn’t what it is this year,” Carlson said, noting a more selfless approach this time around. “It’s awesome to see a small senior class push the younger guys, help each other out and get our team goals.” Halfway through the KingCo season, those goals appear to be coming into focus. Bellevue is 5-0 in league play, and faced a Wednesday game against last place Liberty after the Reporter’s deadline. The Wolverines travel to Island Crest Park to face Mercer Island Friday, before beginning the second run through the league April 21 against the Totems. Wilkinson said even after a dominant run the first time SEE BELLEVUE, 15
Bellevue’s boys lacrosse team, still unbeaten in Washington state play and atop the conference standings, began its annual Spring Break trip to the East coast Wednesday. The Wolverines got things started with a 12-8 win over St. Stephens & St. Agnes School, as Hank Bethke scored six goals to pace the offense. Campbell Alexieff, Joe Bethke and Ryan Eastes each scored two goals for Bellevue and Hank Bethke also contributed a pair of assists. Another Virginia prep squad got a taste of Washington’s best Thursday, as the Wolverines came back with another win, 12-6 over Langley. A 15-4 win over Dominion on the campus of the University of Virginia concluded their on-field exploits on the trip, and the team is also watched two of the nation’s top collegiate programs face off, as Duke visited UVA.

scored three goals to lead his team to a 9-4 win over Lake Washington. Cole Cansler, a senior goalie, finished with 10 saves in that win. The Wolverines didn’t miss a beat in their return to Washington prep play, dominating a match with Liberty in a 17-0 win. Joe and Hank Bethke each scored four goals in the victory, and Bellevue faces West Linn (Oregon) Saturday before taking on Issaquah next week.
NSI travels to Colorado for team lacrosse trip
Newport Sammamish Interlake took its boys lacrosse team out of state for Spring Break as well, playing three games in Colorado. NSI lost its first two games by one goal each, falling 7-6 to Cherokee Trail and 10-9 to Smokey Hill, before falling 14-0 to Chatfield in the final game of the trip.

Forest Ridge’s Lui set for final act BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Michelle Lui redefines the look of a champion. Whether the Forest Ridge senior is talking with teammates before a match against Annie Wright School, hitting warmup shots with her opponent, or even after losing a point, Lui sports the same look and comportment about her deceivingly powerful frame. But rather than the intensely focused scowl that has become ubiquitous with competition, Lui, the three-time defending 1A girls singles state champion, wears an ear-toear grin that lights up whatever court, classroom or group she is part of. “She is always smiling,” said Forest Ridge athletic director Kim Eng, who has known Lui since she was a middleschooler at Bellevue’s only all-girls Catholic school. “She is quiet, so you don’t realize there is this killer tennis player inside her.” Class 1A foes have been firsthand witnesses to Lui’s ability to flip the switch on the court, often with overwhelming results.

That includes every league, district and 1A state championship match she has competed in, many of them ending in straight sets. This season, she tries to become only the third player in Class 1A history to win four state singles championships on the prep court, joining Liz Lewis of Bush School and Erica Perkins from University Prep. But for the effervescent star of an emerging giant in small-school girls tennis, it is about more than the results. “I love that team aspect,” she said. “It has been so fun to see the progress we’ve made each year.” Part of that progress has been bringing home state championships, which Eng and coach Jason Price has only increased the visibility of the sport among the current student body, as well as with prospective students. “We have a really amazing thing going on,” Price said. “It’s just unbelievable to watch and be part of this.” The Ravens have a host of players who look like contenders for district and state tournament spots this season, including Olivia Cero, sisters and doubles partners Tiffanie and Christina Chai, and freshman standout Sasha Cayward. Cayward, who has played club tennis with Lui since their

Cal Neely entered the season as the team’s top pitcher, and was also in the middle of the batting order before suffering an injury. “He has been absolutely splendid in his ability to counsel players and get over the obvious hurt,” Wilkinson said. “He didn’t have a pity-party for five minutes.”

Forest Ridge senior Michelle Lui has won the last three Class 1A girls singles tennis titles. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter youth, said she sees the three-time defending state champion as a role model on and off the court. “I’ve been looking forward to this since sixth grade,” she said of joining the high school team with Lui. “It’s been a life-changing thing.” The last thing for Lui is to finish her final season with another trophy, and the Seattle University bound senior said if she were forced to choose between another individual crown or a team title, it would be no contest. “I would say the team, for sure,” she said. “We’ve worked so hard, I don’t see why we can’t win state this year.”

proposed by a number of residents to run the lines underground is not being looked at as a feasible option, he said. Above-ground transmission lines are the standard in Washington, said Wappler, and significantly less expensive and environmentally intrusive than running lines underground — PSE has only one line that goes underground for seven-tenths of a mile. He added the state utilities commission states if a community wants underground lines, it is the residents’ responsibility to pay for it.
“The community would have to figure it out,” Wappler said of paying the price tag for underground lines. “We can’t figure out who pays for it and how.” Anderson said representatives from 18 neighborhoods from Renton to Kirkland will convene later this year to hold a mass summit to discuss the issue of new transmission lines on the Eastside. A question-and-answer session with PSE will be held 6-9 p.m. Monday, April 21 in the cafeteria building at the Renton Technical College, 3000 N.E. Fourth St. A central subarea committee workshop will be held 6:30-9 p.m. Wednesday, April 23 in the Skyview Ballroom of the Bellevue Hilton, 300 112th Ave. S.E.

“Women of Persia,” the current exhibit at Blakely Hall in the Issaquah Highlands, is art that talks. Issaquah artist Farshad Alamdari, in his first major exhibition, is portraying women who had power and freedom, which changed after the Iranian Revolution. He said the country’s politics and religion are stopping them, but they will continue to fight until they have victory. “The story behind the paintings is an opportunity for young women to learn, to find their presence, their personality,” Alamdari said. Alamdari is a native of Iran, a scientist and an artist. He left Iran six years before Ayatollah Khomeini led the 1979 Iranian Revolution which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. He earned his Ph.D. in architecture in England and became a leader in sustainability, long before it was a hip buzzword in the U.S. He said in the U.K. they were building green by 1990, whereas the U.S. was 10 years behind. Alamdari was Chief Scientist on sustainable built environment for Building Research Establishment, a privatized former department of the United Kingdom. He had been painting since he was 14

“Tolerant,” by Farshad Alamdari, is one of the more polarizing portraits in the exhibit “Women of Persia.” PHOTO BY LINDA BALL, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter and drawing since he was six. When his wife was offered the position of vicepresident for marketing with Boeing, he followed her here two years later, devoting all of his time to his art. He worked on “Women of Persia” for more than two years, full time, producing 18 oil portraits of powerful women from Persian history, using his mother, wife, daughter and his son’s girlfriend as inspiration. He said Islam was forced on Iran by the Arabs 1,500 years ago, but it was Khomeini who forced women to cover their heads in 1980, which they still have to do. “The women before Islam were flourishing,” he said. Zoroastrianism, the first religion which believed in one God and is still practiced by many people worldwide, is the ancient Iranian religion, coming before Christianity, Islam or Judaism. One of his paintings, “Compassionate,” is his interpretation of Queen Cassandane, 545 B.C. She was a Persian noblewoman and the dearly loved
wife of the King of Kings, Cyrus the Great. Cyrus the Great wrote the first chapter on human rights, the Cyrus Cylinder. Although Cyrus was Zoroastrian, Alamdari said he did not suppress the Jews. “Enduring” is his portrait of the Shah’s wife, Queen Farah. “She was a kind woman who supported women’s rights,” Alamdari said. Women in Iran advanced under her leadership, he said. “But the Shah was controlling,” he said. With only one political party, Alamdari said it put a great deal of pressure on both men and women. During the Shah’s rule, the middle class did much better. Now, he said, inflation is over 600 percent and there is a huge disparity between the very rich and the very poor. “Noble” is a portrait inspired by Turandokht, a cold-hearted princess (630 A.D.) who was determined that no man should SEE PERSIA, 19

ever possess her. The story of Turandokht was turned into a popular opera by Puccini. Then there are the warriors. “Resilient” is inspired by Azad, (750 A.D.), a guerrilla commander from the north of Iran. She fought against the Islamic forces during the occupation period. “Progressive” is one of the more modern portraits, inspired by Dr. Tal’at Basari, the first woman vice chancellor of a prestigious university in Iran. She was appointed in 1960. Wearing a simple dress, she is looking contemplatively at something in the distance. “Optimistic” portrays Hila Sedighi, a human rights activist who was jailed at one time. In 2012 she was honored for her commitment to free expression by Human Rights Watch. Although she is wearing the head scarf, it is on loosely, revealing much of her hair. Then, “Tolerant,” one of the more polarizing paintings by Alamdari, shows a mother and her two daughters in total burqas. Alamdari said “in May 1979, the day of celebration for Iranian’s Women’s Day, Islamic hijab on women was imposed. This requires women to wear loose-fitting clothes as well as a head scarf that covers the hair.” “Women of Persia” is

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS HAS NO LAYOVER. Seattle isn’t the same city it was ten years ago, which means the people of Seattle aren’t flying to the same places. No one understands global reach better than an airline. That’s why Delta offers nonstop flights from Seattle to more countries than any other airline. So you can stay focused on what you need to do and not how you’re going to get there.
