Former railroad site tops list for light-rail facility BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Sound Transit Board emphasized the need to explore all options for mitigating the impact of constructing a rail yard for Sound Transit light-rail trains at the BNSF site in Bellevue following its selection July 24 as the preferred alternative moving forward with development of a final environmental impact statement.
While the cheapest option with the least displacement of businesses, the city of Bellevue has been critical of using more than 20 acres of the former Burlington-Northern Santa Fe site for an operations and maintenance satellite facility due to its economic and land use impacts to redevelopment activity within the Bel-Red Corridor. A rail yard is necessary to take on additional fleet vehicles when the Sodo yard reaches capacity in 2020 and light rail
begins running on the Eastside in 2023. The city of Bellevue finalized its Bel-Red subarea plan in 2009 to include high-density, mixed-use development in anticipation of East Link light rail. "The Bel-Red planning that we've done in Bellevue — that is integrated in light rail and dependent on light rail — was done years and years ago," said Bellevue Mayor and Sound Transit Board Member Claudia Balducci, who noted transit-oriented devel-
opment will be directly affected by transit. "… It is an ironic choice, if you will." State Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson echoed Balducci's concerns that an Urban Land Institute study to determine options for mitigating the impacts of a rail yard in the Bel-Red Corridor is far from over.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is building a case against a Bellevue anesthesiologist alleged to have secured rental units throughout the city and laundered money internationally to aid his Thai girlfriend's sex trafficking enterprise here. In an affidavit filed with the U.S. Attorney's Office for search warrants to seize electronics, documents and bank accounts belonging to the anesthesiologist, which the Reporter won't name until charges are filed, the DEA claims the doctor provided apartments and condos in Bellevue for sex workers trafficked to the United States from Thailand by his girlfriend. He is also alleged to have collected those illegal profits, transferring them to Thai bank accounts. The DEA began investigating the doctor in November 2012, when the agency became aware of large deposits of money he had been depositing into Bellevue ATMs. Bank records showed the doctor purchased multiple online ads through sites like backpage.com to advertise his girlfriend's prostitutes living in the city and available for massages and sexual services, according to the affidavit filed July 18. The DEA allegedly found the doctor was using a Bellevue Way BECU ATM to deposit large sums of cash, which

"It's amazing, I think, seeing someone your size doing this," she said of teen campers, who Tuesday climbed ladders, practiced extricating victims from vehicles, rappelling down buildings and more.

BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter Karen Stone, who co-founded Camp Blaze after 18 years working for the San Francisco Fire Department. She now lives in Seattle. Those numbers seem to be declining, and Camp Blaze is a great opportunity to encourage young women to consider fire service as a career, she said. More than that, Stone added, is showing them they have the strength to tackle any challenge before them. "It's an empowerment and leadership camp for young women," Stone said. "We want them to be successful, whatever they do, and feel like they can do anything." This is the first time campers have trained at the Bellevue center. The camp is made available to participants for free through various grants, support from firefighters' unions and other fundraising efforts. It costs $1,200 to host each camper.
About 40 young women make up this year's camp. Stone said access is too important to saddle prospective female firefighters with those costs. "There'll be enough obstacles to this career," she said. "This is a very competitive career." Christina Howard said she was lucky to learn about Camp Blaze when she did, because she is just under the age cutoff. Her friend's father, a Seattle firefighter, had heard the 19-year-old Federal Way emergency medical technician talking about her desire to get into fire service to advance as a paramedic and told her about Camp Blaze. "It's not exactly what I was expecting," Howard said. "It was actually more. I didn't think they would let us use a chain saw." As an EMT in Federal Way, Howard is BDA Live at Lunch Bellevue Reporter Ad used to being trained by men. She said Camp Blaze provides teenage girls with

"determined, focused women" mentors that make her feel supported in her career goals. While there are those who say women can't compete with men when it comes to the physical challenges of firefighting, Howard said firefighters of all genders learn to rely on the strength of their teams. "I think Camp Blaze creates a good sisterhood, and lots of respect for each other is very important," she said. "People can work better if they respect each other." Camp Blaze concludes with a graduation ceremony on Saturday, and campers also qualify for a college credit through Bates Technical College in Tacoma. "They graduate on Saturday, on top of the world," Stone said. for Week of August 4.pdf

What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere
Blue Angels causing intermittent I-90 closures
The annual Seafair festival will shut down Interstate 90 between Interstate 5 in Seattle and Island Crest Way on Mercer Island during Blue Angels practices and performances this weekend. The Blue Angels began practicing for their aeronautic performances on Thursday, which caused that portion of I-90 to briefly close in the morning and early afternoon. Closures continue 12:15-2:40 p.m. today and again 12:152:40 p.m. Saturday and Sunday for the Blue Angels' full shows. Bridge highrises will still be accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists, but no travel beyond the highrises will be permitted up to 30 minutes before the scheduled closures on I-90. The interstate will remain open east of Mercer Island, but motorists are cautioned to expect heavy congestion.
Chism Beach Park reopens after sewage concerns
Chism Beach Park reopened for swimming Tuesday after a blocked sewer line in Lake Washington caused its closure over concerns about water quality. A small sewer overflow near the park prompted the closure of its swimming areas until testing by King County Water and Land Resources was conducted to determine if any sewage had reached Lake Washington. The waters were declared safe for swimming and that portion of the park was reopened Tuesday afternoon.
City seeks feedback for fire chief search
The city of Bellevue will host a public meeting to gather input on what residents are looking for in the next fire chief to replace Michael Eisner, who retired in June. The forum will be held 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday at City Hall in Room 1E-108, and include light refreshments. Feedback can also be provided online at https://www.surveymonkey. com/s/D58C9PG, or by email at COBFireChiefRecruitment@bellevuewa.gov. The city is seeking feedback as to what residents think are the most critical issues for the fire chief to tackle their first year on the job and current strengths and weaknesses of the the Bellevue Fire Department.
Former educator's trust awards grant
The C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust, managed by The Seattle Foundation, has awarded a $500,000 grant to Hamlin Robinson School. The grant will support the building of a new school, and is part of the foundation’s annual distribution of gifts to nonprofit organizations. Birkenfeld, who died in 2005, was a long-time educator, world traveler and philanthropist who retired from the Bellevue School District after 20 years as a high school teacher of international relations and U.S. history. He later served as an administrator. The Hamlin Robinson School is the only school in Washington dedicated to educating students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.
A composition error in the Reporter's Scene magazine resulted in the wrong price being listed for a grilling item at Sur la Table. The correct price of the Flippin' Easy Grill Basket is $14.99. The item was included in a list of grilling gadgets that we loved for the barbecue season. Here's how the mention should have read: Flippin’ Easy Grill Basket: Let’s face it, flipping over meat, fish or veggies on the grill can be tricky. Not any more. The finely woven mesh construction of the basket makes sure that even bite-size morsels won’t fall through the grate. When one side is done, simply pull the basket’s handle along its metal tracks to smoothly flip the basket onto the opposite side. $14.99. Sur la Table, 1-800-2430852.

When asked for their money back, Yi allegedly told them the IRS had frozen his bank accounts over a tax dispute and that they would be repaid once the issue was resolved. Bellevue detectives began an investigation in late 2012, when the executor of a victim’s estate notified authorities about suspicious fund transfers to Yi’s bank account. After identifying two other victims and working with Kirkland Police, Yi was arrested in February, when he is alleged to have admitted to stealing $250,000 from the victims.

If Sound Transit wants a rail yard in Bellevue, make it out of sight
W
e’re not surprised that the Sound Transit board would vote to build its light-rail maintenance yard in Bellevue. After all, it’s the cheapest alternative of four possible sites. But it can’t be allowed to add insult to injury by turning an ugly decision into an ugly facility. Since 2009, Bellevue has planned for the redevelopment of the Bel-Red area. The vision included high-density, mixed-use development on what is the last, large section of the city that can handle substantial projects. With the extension of light rail to the Eastside, the Bel-Red area is the perfect place for a light-rail line to link it to Microsoft and the Overlake area to the east and Bellevue’s downtown and Seattle to the west. What wasn’t in anyone’s mind was a 20-acre rail yard that would be a wart on the face of progress. To make matters worse, the city estimates that a train maintenance facility would mean a $6 million annual loss of local tax revenue because the land no longer could be used for business, retail and residential projects. Nearby property development company Wright Runstad says siting a rail yard within its $2.4 billion Spring District not only will be a major impact on land use, but also affect interest in future development there. Sound Transit says it is committed to mitigating the impact of the rail yard. Good. Here’s a suggestion: Put it underground and preserve the land above for development better suited to the city’s needs. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

A poem to inspire people to visit Bellevue’s ravine bridge Editor’s Note: Jeri Albertini of Bellevue writes that she “was lucky enough to be able to cross the ‘Bridge over the Ravine’ a few days before the Bellevue Botanical Garden's official celebration. For months I had peered through the metal fence – curious and amazed at the beautiful structure rising up in the dense forest. One day a news reporter beckoned me over and asked if I would stand on the bridge while he took a picture for the paper.” She wrote a poem about her "ravine experience" and hopes it will inspire people “to venture into the forest to see this tranquil, breathtaking work of art – planted right in the midst of our busy, noisy city.”
My ravine experience BY JERI ALBERTINI
When I proclaimed my wonder as I crossed the deep ravine, Folks probably remembered the great bridges they have seen. "Perhaps she doesn't travel much – just doesn't get around. For there are bridges everywhere – amazing and renowned!" Well, the Bridge of Aspiration is a bit too far away, And the Hussaini Bridge in Pakistan looks wobbly and will sway. There's a Railroad Bridge in Scotland that I would like to see, And in Big Sur the Bixby Bridge looks "riveting" to me. If ever I'm in Denmark, Istanbul or Mackinaw, I'll want to see their bridges – each one grand – I'll be in awe. I have walked across the Sundial Bridge in Redding – it's not far; Crossed the Verrazano, Brooklyn, Coronado in a car. But I prefer a certain bridge – away from cars and noise. This "Work of Art" appears amidst a forest – with such poise. My proclamation still remains – it's wonderful, for sure; Far beyond what I'd imagined: Bellevue's stunning "Bridge du Jour.”

Tougher DUI laws needed We constantly see in the news where a driver, high on marijuana or under the influence of alcohol, hits a pedestrian or another car, killing someone. They are charged with driving under the influence or vehicular homicide. They get a few years in prison and then are free to live their lives. But the person they killed is dead. So if a person kills another person with a knife, baseball bat or a gun, should we call it weaponry homicide and let them off after a few years in prison? I think not. A person is dead and any of the above weapons were used irresponsibility, dangerously or intentionally to harm or kill a person. We are too soft on those who kill someone due to uncontrolled use of the weapon of choice. A vehicle is just as dangerous of a weapon as anything else. It may not be premeditated murder, but it is just as deadly. It is time to toughen the laws of drunken and drugged driving, and we need to press our legislators to do toughen the consequences.

Violent sexual predator faces life in prison for murder of Bellevue woman BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Convicted sex offender Michael Halgren will spend no less than 14 years and six months in prison for the 1980 murder of a 19-yearold Bellevue woman. Halgren's sentencing on July 25 for second-degree murder in the death of Susan Lowe set the maximum range for the 58-yearold former Bellevue man at life in prison, with Halgren heading back to the Special Commitment Center should he ever be paroled. He had been civilly committed there as a sexually violent predator prior to being charged with Lowe's murder. Lowe was raped and strangled inside her Quorum Apartments — now known as the Carrington Apartments — on April 23, 1980, and found the next morning by a roommate, posed naked in her bed as if she'd been sleeping.
Lacking today's technological advances, it took until May 2012 for a semen sample to be crafted into a DNA sample that could be matched to Halgren, who had grown up on the 22000 block of 151st Avenue Southeast, three blocks from Lowe's apartment complex. Police documents state Halgren peeped on women during his high school years and exposed himself to more than 40 women in his early 20s. Halgren reportedly admitted to raping more than 20 women — many prostitutes — since his discharge from the Air Force in 1975, including two women in Bellevue. During an interview with law enforcement in August 2012, Halgren told police he did not recognize Lowe in a photo he was shown and questioned the validity of the DNA evidence against him.

Man wanted in identity theft case captured BY DANIEL NASH
Wine thieves receive prison sentences in Seattle, Bellevue thefts BY BRANDON MACZ
BELLEVUE REPORTER
A man wanted in connection to an identity theft operation uncovered earlier this month was picked up in the Tri-Cities by investigators Wednesday morning, according to a release from the Bellevue Police Department. The department received a tip on the whereabouts of Patrick McCabe from a viewer of "Washington's Most Wanted." The show aired a segment on McCabe on July 19. The tip led investigators to a residence in the Tri-Cities area. Plans call for McCabe to be transported to Bellevue for charges related to identity theft and fraud. A patrol officer discovered a cache of dozens of forged IDs and credit cards — and hundreds of forged checks — in a 126th Place Northeast condominium earlier in July while investigating the reported theft of road construction signs.

BELLEVUE REPORTER
Two Seattle wine thieves were sentenced July 25 in King County Superior Court after admitting to stealing $650,000 in product from a storage facility in Sodo, with one defendant also admitting to stealing $250,000 worth of wine from a Bellevue businesswoman last year. Samuel A. Harris, 35, was sentenced to nine years in prison for his part in the November theft from storage lockers at Esquin Wine & Spirits, where he and accomplice Luke A. Thesing, 36, also cut gas lines in an attempt to start a fire at the facility, according to the King County Prosecutor's Office. Harris pleaded guilty to charges of first-degree arson, seconddegree burglary and 10 counts of first-degree theft. Thesing pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary and nine counts of first-degree theft, and received a five-year sentence. Harris, who was hired by a Bellevue woman last year to build a wine-storage cellar at her business, also admitted to stealing $250,000 in product from her in May 2013. He is alleged to have sold most of that wine. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602, bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

"CW2 stated that (the girlfriend) worked with a sex trafficking 'agency' in Thailand who arranged for (her) to travel to the United States on a fake visa," according to the affidavit, adding the girlfriend told the witness before meeting the doctor she was seeking an American to finance her desired opulent lifestyle. Undercover operations were conducted from June to December 2013, where detectives posing as Johns made appointments with several prostitutes found on backpage. com and connected to bank accounts and phone numbers belonging to the doctor, the affidavit states. These operations took place at apartment and condo units at the Avalon Meydenbauer apartments and AMLI Apartments at Bellevue Park, with the Washington Square condominiums also allegedly being rented out for prostitution activity. The King County Sheriff 's Office conducted surveillance at the Avalon, where the doctor was allegedly recorded in front of the nearby Safeway accepting a white envelope from an Asian woman. The envelope was reportedly similar to envelopes undercover agents witnessed prostitutes using to collect money for massages and sexual services. This and another documented transaction involved photo surveillance.

One witness, cooperating with the U.S. Attorney's Office and awaiting sentencing for conspiracy to transport individuals and conspiracy to engage in money laundering, allegedly told investigators the doctor's girlfriend returned to Thailand to work for the same sex traffickers that brought her to the United States. The girlfriend returned to Bellevue with a handful of Thai women to be used in her sex trafficking enterprise. By 2013, the witness reported the doctor's girlfriend had 10 sex workers in her employ. Outgoing funds from the doctor's BECU account catalogued by the DEA allegedly totaled $471,388, which the DEA states in the affidavit went to his girlfriend's Thai bank account, as well as to pay rents and purchase ads on sites like backpage.com. Several of those ads were allegedly linked to IP addresses for Proliance Surgeons in Seattle and Overlake Hospital, where he worked for Matrix Anesthesia, according to the affidavit. The doctor has taken a voluntary leave of absence from the provider and no longer practices at the hospital.

Red Lion Hotel Bellevue up for sale BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Red Lion Hotel Bellevue is on the market, with broker Kidder Mathews highlighting the listing as a transit-oriented development opportunity, but prospective buyers may want to hold off until a zoning recommendation is provided by an East Main Station Citizens Advisory Committee. The two-story hotel boasts 181 rooms and 5,700 square feet of meeting space at 11211 Main St., and is listed by Kidder Mathews as one of the “most developable sites in the region.” It was constructed in 1969. “This hotel has successfully contributed to our company under an excellent management team, but ultimately operation of a sprawling two-story hotel on this site is not the highest and best use of this property, which is among the most desirable redevelopment sites on the West Coast,” said Greg Mount, president and CEO of Red Lion Hotels Corporation in
a statement. “We intend to capture the full value of this property and redeploy the proceeds toward debt reduction and hotel investment opportunities in the key markets we are targeting across the U.S. to provide the best return for our shareholders. We are certainly exploring the Seattle/ Bellevue area for hotel conversion and joint venture opportunities as the Northwest remains a critical region for the company.” The property’s listing follows the conclusion of applications for a citizens advisory committee that will consider what, if any, transit-oriented development is desired east of 112th Avenue Northeast. The Red Lion Hotel Bellevue is located across from where an East Main light rail station will be constructed as part of Sound Transit’s East Link extension. Transitoriented development will not occur west of 112th, as the city wants to preserve neighborhoods there. East Main Station area planning members could start meeting as soon as September and expect to draft
recommendations over the course of a year, said Kate March, the city’s East Link community outreach and community relations lead for the transportation department. Those participating on the CAC are residents and businesses within the East Main Station area. “Although the council has directed staff to study TOD potential on the east side of 112th, it’s up to the CAC to determine the best fit for the community,” March said. “It’s really in their hands to make the recommendation.” Parties interested in the property site can call 206-296-9600 or log onto www.bellevuelandsite.com. The property is being listed without an asking price, and RLHC is willing to continue hotel operations following a sale while the future owner explores redevelopment opportunities.

The Overlake Hospital Medical Center has earned a financial ratings increase from Standard and Poor’s Rating Service. The hospital went from an “A-” to an “A” rating. Financial ratings for not-for-profit hospitals like Overlake indicate an organization’s ability to pay back debt on credit financing, taking into account expenses, revenues and evidence of continued future stability. Not-for-profit hospitals across the United States faced expense growth that outpaced revenue growth in fiscal year 2013, according to an April report from Moody’s. The S&P report noted Overlake’s successful completion of an electronic medical record conversion, and credited management as having “consistently delivered on results” and showing “detailed consideration to future planning.” Moody’s currently rates the hospital as “A2” with a stable outlook for the future. A2 is the sixth highest rating Moody’s gives, describing an “upper-medium” investment grade organization of low credit risk. Standard and Poor’s “A” rating is equivalent to Moody’s A2 rating, indicating the organization has “strong capacity to meet financial commitments, but (is) somewhat susceptible to adverse economic conditions and changes in circumstance,” according to the ratings agency’s website.

Artful Evening donations keep growing for BAM More than 450 guests filled the Hyatt Regency Bellevue ballroom July 19 for Artful Evening, Bellevue Arts Museum's annual fundraising event. The event and auction cover nearly one-third of the museum’s annual budget. “We are extremely pleased with the growth of our annual fundraising gala— Artful Evening,” said Linda Pawson, BAM’s interim executive director. “It is a testament to the success of the museum’s role as a leading, vibrant cultural institution in the region.” This year's event was cochaired by Danielle Rosenfield and Susan Edelheit. "There was a wonderful sense of community in the room that built throughout the evening,” said Edelheit. “It was inspirational to see the concrete expression of support for BAM’ s exhibitions and programs.” Artists featured in the live auction included Cappy Thompson, Jenny Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles, Erich Woll, Micheal Cepress and Paul Komada. Three silent auctions featured over 100 works, many of which were donated by 2014 BAM ARTSfair artists from around the nation. Following on the heels of a successful match campaign by the Klorfine Foun-

Through both efforts BAM raised over $660,000 in gifts to be matched by the foundation. This year, Artful Evening recognized honorees Anne and Lee Kilcup and GLY Construction for their contributions to the community. Anne Kilcup has been a member of the Bellevue Arts Museum family for over a dozen years. Starting as a provisional docent and joining the board in 2008, she has served as the board's secretary, vice president and president.

Delicious choices for perfect picnic N othing completes a Pacific Northwest picnic outing like delicious food. At this time of year, the best place to eat is outside (if it isn’t raining) and since we have such an abundance of seasonal foods around us, an average picnic can turn into a healthy gourmet affair. For a grillfree event, start with your best picnic blanket, outdoor chairs, a small camping Jami Scott table and utensils and plates and bowls. Then fill your picnic basket with a combination of the following: Appetizers: Crackers, veggies and dips. Mary’s Crackers are a crunchy, healthy option along with veggie sticks. Dips like hummus and baba ganouj can be made in advance and stored in the freezer. Try some different bean dips, tapenade, roasted red pepper dip or guacamole to make it interesting. Salads: Chopped salads get the creative juices flowing. Start

with lettuce; add some interesting hearty greens like kale or cabbage. Chop up vegetables like carrots, peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, roasted squash or eggplant, broccoli and snap peas. Next add fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, mint and basil are all great for salads), toasted nuts and seeds and toss with a light salad dressing. Every salad is a new and delicious creation, depending on what you’re inspired by or have in the cupboard. Main course: Wrap it up! Using a whole wheat tortilla, spread with hummus or guacamole, then stuff with grains like quinoa or brown rice, green leafy vegetables, beans and anything else that strikes your fancy. Wrap tightly in Saran wrap or tinfoil, and when ready to eat, slice into 2-inch rounds to share or eat whole. For a gluten-free version, use a lightly steamed collard leaf (minus the stem).
Dessert: Take advantage of all the seasonal fruit we have available in our area. Right now there are stone fruits like nectarines, apricots, peaches and plums, and berries in abundance. I personally think no dessert is complete without chocolate — and the best healthy alternative to a chocolate bar is to place 1 cup walnuts, 1 cup dates, 3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into a food processor and mix until it starts to clump. Then, roll into balls and store in your freezer until ready to eat. Don’t forget the drinks. A light, sparkling white wine works great at a picnic, and for an alcohol-free drink, place some frozen berries into the bottom of a wine travel glass and fill with sparkling water. The frozen berries act as ice and add a mild flavor.

An early music education, for the district on a budget First Note creator’s president says video program can boost students’ performance early By Daniel Nash Bellevue Reporter
It’s the same sad song played countless times: music teeters on a treacherous precipice in public education budgets. Though identified as a core subject by state and federal agencies, the arts don’t come up in the standardized tests that determine federal funding. And they stand well outside the quantitative results-driven cult of STEM. Without directly measurable benefits, a music specialist can be a tempting expense to cut. But a Kirkland-based nonprofit thinks music is too important to children’s development to lose. The president of the Children’s Music

Newport’s Li talks AJGA wins, future on Pac-12 golf course by josh suman bellevue reporter
Marianne Li, a rising senior at Newport High School and one of the state’s top prep golfers in the Class of 2015, is anything but new to success on the course. A two-time 4A state tournament participant for the Knights, and multiple time tournament winner on the junior circuit, Li is headed into her final season on the prep course after back-to-back victories at an American Junior Golf Association tournament in Santa Rosa, Calif., and the Ryan Moore Junior Championship in Lakewood. Li took some time between events to chat with the Reporter about the improvement of her game under Newport coach Frank Nimmo, her plans for her final year with the Knights and a future in the Pac-12. BELLEVUE REPORTER: How has your golf game grown during your time at Newport and how has coach Nimmo impacted you as a player and person? MARIANNE LI: I’ve had such a great time playing on the Newport golf team these past three years. Everyone on the team has been so supportive of each other and the coaches have done such a great job
in keeping it fun and competitive at the same time. Coach Nimmo has been someone who has supported me throughout my high school career in the decisions I have made. It has meant a lot to have someone like Coach Nimmo who understands what my goals are and has always worked to help me achieve them. REPORTER: What are your hopes for your last season of high school golf? LI: For my last season of high school golf I am hoping to bring back some regular season and postseason titles as a team. We have had a lot of success as a team these past few years and for me it’s so great to experience that as the whole team comes together to achieve a goal. We return all of our girls from last year and I am really excited to see everyone and how much they have improved from last year. REPORTER: Talk about winning the Ryan Moore event, and also playing on the AJGA and Jr. PGA circuits and how that level of competition is preparing you for the future. LI: Winning the Ryan Moore AJGA
John Day Homes Has Plans for Your Land
event was a pretty big deal for me. I didn’t play so well the first two days but I was in the hunt for the win coming down the last few holes and was able to pull it off on the last hole with a birdie. To start my summer off with a win gave me confidence going into the rest of my tournaments this summer. The very next week I ended up winning the AJGA Junior at Mayacama in Santa Rosa, Calif. This summer I was able to qualify for a couple of big tournaments and have been taking in those experiences and learning as I go. The United States Golf Association (USGA) tournaments and Jr. PGA event that I qualified for have shown me what it’s like to compete at a high level and what I can improve to get even better. It’s been a really fun summer so far competing against the best in the world and seeing how I compare. REPORTER: Where do you hope your golf game takes you, both with the possibility of playing in college and professionally? LI: A few months ago in March I gave a verbal commitment to play college golf at UC-Berkeley and cannot wait to continue my golfing career there! As for playing professionally I will wait and see how I play in college. REPORTER: What advice would you give to a young person thinking about playing golf, or who wants to know what golf can offer them both as a sport and in life? LI: Golf is a great game to play whether just for fun or if you are looking to see where the game can take you. Not only can you learn life skills like perseverance and courtesy through golf but it is also a game that you can play your whole life. Like many other sports golf is a game of ups and downs, golf can be frustrating, but at the end of the day it is the life skills that the game has instilled in me that remain. REPORTER: How has your work with The First Tee changed your outlook on your own life and what it means to be part of the golf community? LI: Starting golf with The First Tee program has been such a tremendous gift for me. I remember when I started 8 years ago
Newport’s Marianne Li celebrates her win at an American Junior Golf Association event in California. COURTESY PHOTO with the Greater Seattle branch the coaches were encouraging and made the game fun. Now as a volunteer coach at The First Tee I have been fortunate enough to work with numerous different young golfers who remind me of myself just a few years ago. A lot of kids that I have worked with don’t have their own set of golf clubs or even their own golf balls, it really puts it into perspective for someone like me who receives a dozen golf balls at almost every tournament I play in. Playing golf and being able to travel to tournaments has really been a blessing, I have met so many new friends through golf and learned so many new things from them. Even though we compete against each other week in and week out it is really great to get to know them as friends and bond through the game of golf.

The maze of ambition
Publishers rejected Mike Selinker’s draft of a ‘solve your own adventure’ novel. Kickstarter users funded it 10 times over. Now ‘The Maze of Games’ is finally seeing the light of day, with plans for an e-book, an audiobook... and a perfume?
BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
You pick up a novel: a story set in 1897, about a 14-year-old bookworm and her older brother. During a visit to the mythology section of the Upper Wolverhampton Library, Colleen and Samuel accidentally awaken an ancient Gatekeeper who traps them in the world of his book, “The Maze of Games,” demanding they solve a gauntlet of puzzles in order to return home. A strong opening that leaves you wanting more. You turn the page to continue the story, but… this is all wrong. When did they jump from a mine to a king’s chamber? Who’s this “bard,” when did they meet him and why does he keep trying to sing Shakespeare? And why has one character turned into a duck? “The Maze of Games” — the real book written by Mike Selinker and illustrated by Pete Venters, not the book-within-thebook mentioned above — is an adventure printed out of order, much like the Choose
Your Own Adventure series of books that required readers to jump from the beginning, to the end, to the middle and back again to follow the chronological narrative. Unlike that series, progress can only be achieved by solving an increasingly challenging series of puzzles. “It’s not a passive reading experience,” Selinker said. “It’s not a story you sit back and let wash over you. You have to work your way through it.” The first printed copies of the book, published by Lone Shark Games, finally shipped to readers in July after being funded on Kickstarter in early 2013. That campaign was wildly successful: Selinker’s $16,000 goal was met in four hours, and the project grossed more than $170,000 by the end of fundraising.

Interim rabbi understands role during transitional time at Temple B’nai Torah
Heritage Corner A look at Bellevue’s past
BY DAN AZNOFF SPECIAL TO THE BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Fraser Cabin in its first location at Kelsey Creek Park, circa 1975. COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center
The Fraser Cabin at Kelsey Creek Park Rabbi David Alan Lipper says his primary task at Temple B’nai Torah ‘will be to make every member of the congregation feel good about being involved with the synagogue at this stage of its history.’ COURTESY PHOTO ship, B’nai Torah grew from several dozen households to almost 800 families. Mirel will continue to serve the community as the synagogue’s first-ever rabbi emeritus. David SerkinPoole will maintain his role as the cantor at B’nai Torah. Serkin-Poole has served the congregation as cantor for 33 years. B’nai Torah is not Lipper’s first interim post. He began his string of temporary assignments when he provided guidance to a congregation during the early stages of establishing a synagogue in San Antonio. He has also served as the temporary spiritual leader in Little Rock and the village of Georgetown in Con-
Squirrel causes power outage About 2,700 Bellevue residents lost power July 25, thanks to a wayward rodent. At about 1:30 p.m., a squirrel came into contact with equipment at a Puget Sound Energy substation near Bellevue College. Outages affected the college campus and homes in the surrounding area. One commuter, Tad Donaghe, reported daytime traffic light outages along 148th Avenue Northeast from Northeast Eighth Street toward Interstate Highway 90, causing travel times to be slowed to "almost an hour." City crews activated a backup generator during the outage
to restore traffic control. Crews working for Puget Sound Energy gradually restored power to clients, restoring power to all clients at approximately 4:30 p.m. No word on the status of the squirrel.
nity like Mirel. An interim rabbi, said Cantor, does not need to be concerned about offending members by suggesting changes that could benefit the community in the long-term. “An interim rabbi comes pre-fired,” said Cantor with a wide smile. “Interim is a precarious title, whether it’s a rabbi or the manager of a baseball team.” Lipper explained that he hopes to bring more than just spirituality to his role. He also will assist the staff and leadership with data collection and organizational modeling. “My primary task will be to make every member of the congregation feel good about being involved with the synagogue at this stage of its history,” said Lipper, “and to become invested in the future of the temple and with Reform Judaism.” Dan Aznoff is a freelance writer who lives in Bellevue.

necticut before accepting his first assignment on the West Coast. Cliff Cantor is the current president of the congregation at B’nai Torah. He hopes the interim rabbi’s certification in nonprofit management will help the Reform congregation appeal to top rabbinical candidates in a nationwide search. “We are grateful to have Rabbi Lipper’s expertise to help us position ourselves to attract a new rabbi and to help us move forward during this critical time,” said Cantor. “Knowing he is not a candidate for the permanent position, Rabbi Lipper can be candid and objective about sharing his opinions with the board. His input will be welcome by members of the search committee we have formed to recruit a new senior rabbi at TBT.” The president of the congregation agreed with Lipper that any rabbi would face major obstacles trying to fill the shoes of a respected spiritual leader of a commu-

Some people spend their lives avoiding conflict. David Alan Lipper welcomes the opportunity to combine the volatile elements of religion with politics in his temporary role as the spiritual leader of a community. Lipper began his 12-month contract as the interim rabbi for Temple B’nai Torah on the first day of July, knowing that he would not be considered for the full-time position as senior rabbi for the congregation. He is apparently looking forward to the unenviable position of replacing the long-time leader of the community, Rabbi Jim Mirel. Lipper’s first Shabbat with the Bellevue congregation was at a well-attended Friday night service on the Fourth of July holiday. “Congregations in transition need a calming influence. I believe that is one of the key elements I can bring to this community,” said Lipper. “Change is never easy. The congregants at B’nai Torah are losing the only senior rabbi many of them have ever known.” Mirel took his place on the pulpit at B’nai Torah on Mercer Island in 1985 and moved with the congregation when it relocated to its current location in the Crossroads community in 1998. Under his leader-
The Fraser Cabin (the family name is also spelled “Frazer” in some records) has been a part of Bellevue for more than a century. Early Bellevue resident Daniel Fraser built the cabin on Northup Way in 1888 or 1889. In the 1940s, the cabin relocated to Northeast Seventh Street and 126th Avenue Northeast. Over time, the cabin began to deteriorate, as structures are wont to do. However, the last private owner of the cabin, Brooks Johnston, recognized its cultural and historical value and wanted to see it preserved. In the mid-1970s, a group of Bellevue citizens collaborated to move the cabin to Kelsey Creek Park and restore it as an American Bicentennial project. The restoration of the cabin, which occurred during 1974 and 1975, was a group effort. Members of the East Lake Washington District of Garden Clubs paid for a new shingle roof and planted flowers near the structure. Puget Sound Power and Light Co. donated the logs to restore the rear wall. Service Steel Co. donated the steel flag pole in front of the cabin. The Bellevue Parks Department, under the direction of Director Siegfried Semrau, provided much of the manual labor. In 2008 the structure was moved to higher ground, closer to the barns. The cabin is still a popular site, and the Parks Department opens it for public viewing many times during the warmer months of the year. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter.

the troubling part for me," she said. Following the decision, Balducci passed a motion through that authorizes the selection of three members each from the transit board and the Bellevue City Council to work with staff to preserve transit-oriented development in Bel-Red. Balducci told the Reporter after last week's meeting that Sound Transit staff has committed to finding ways to maximize transitoriented development while moving forward with preliminary design of the rail yard, and will check back with the transit board throughout the process. The city estimates a $6 million annual loss of local tax revenue will be caused by siting the rail yard at the BNSF site. Development company Wright Runstad again stated its opposition to siting a rail yard within its $2.4 billion Spring District, concerned not only by its land use impact but also how it will affect interest in future development there. Representatives with Wright Runstad did not return a call for comment as of press time. "Disappointing really isn't a strong enough word," said Balducci of the transit board's preferred alternative. "It's a problem for us." The selection of the BNSF site most likely spares more than 100 businesses that would have been displaced by another option to place a rail yard where Plaza 520 is currently,

but Balducci said nothing is certain until a final decision is made. "I would be really surprised if the decision changed at the end of the day," she said. "We can breathe a sigh of relief, I can tell you that," said Rob Aigner, regional manager for Harsch Investment Properties, which owns Plaza 520. He added the retail site will remain on the table until the FEIS is completed, so he must remain watchful as that progresses. "For all practical purposes, we do feel like we're out of the woods, but not entirely." Sound Transit spokesman Bruce Gray said the final environmental impact statement will coincide with a 30-percent design of the future facility, which the transit board will be asked to approve by early fall 2015. On top of Balducci's motion to form a leadership committee, Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler also passed through a motion committing Sound Transit to mitigation efforts. "That work is just getting started here over the next year," Gray said. "I think from Sound Transit's side we've heard loud and clear from the board that this facility needs to be designed in a way that the city of Bellevue can still get the best investments out of the transitoriented development area. … Generally what we'll be doing is taking the (Urban Land Institute) concepts and seeing how it will pencil out with the preliminary designs."

US national tennis title rekindles love set for 90-year-old former Bellevue resident BY DAN AZNOFF SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER
Former Bellevue resident Alan Woog had some unfinished business. Five years ago Woog shared the Northwest Senior United States Tennis Association senior indoor doubles championship in the 85-andover division. Word of his athletic prowess apparently spread across the tennis circuit because there were no entries in his category the next year when he went back to defend his title. “So there was only one thing I could do,” Woog said with a sly grin. “I began my preparations to compete in the 90-year-old national competition.” Earlier this month, Woog and his partner, Yutaka Kobayashi from Wellesley, Mass., beat the defending USTA 90-and-over champions in the national finals held in Vancouver, Wash. His newest trophy inspired Woog to discuss the dramatic tennis match as well as open up about a special relationship he has kept private since graduate school, more than 60 years ago. The defending champions in the 90-and-over division won the first set of the final match 7-5, but Woog and Kobayashi bounced back with a 6-4 victory in the second set to set up the dramatic conclusion. The challengers jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the 10-point tiebreaker, but the champs came back to tie the score it at 6-all. With the score knotted at 7-7, Woog and Kobayashi scored the three consecutive points to walk away with the title. “I could be on my deathbed and I would still be able to remember

those last three points,” said Woog. “The winning point came on a return of service that I hit down the line to my opponent’s backhand. His return went out of bounds and I literally jumped into the air with joy.” Victory on the court inspired Woog to discuss one very private story he has kept to himself since leaving the campus of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1950. It was during his two years in graduate school that Woog struck up an intense relationship with a young black woman he met from Selma, Ala. According to Woog, he could walk hand-in-hand with his friend Corrie Scott across campus, but the couple quickly learned the need to be discreet whenever they went into town. He remembered numerous occasions when they were refused service at restaurants and other not-so-subtle forms of discrimination.
“There were times that I wanted to say something to the owner. But Corrie would squeeze my hand to remind me that the owner of the restaurant might be the brother of the sheriff in town. And there might be a group of people waiting for us outside in the parking lot,” Woog remembered. “She said it was always better to hold my tongue so we could live to fight another day.” When it came time to graduate from Antioch College and go into the real world, Corrie sat her boyfriend down to discuss the subject of marriage. She was confident that America in 1950 was ready to accept intermarriage. This time it was Woog who was realistic. “There was no doubt in our minds that we were in love. We each wanted to change the world in our own way.” Woog accepted a position with the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and to lead senators and politicians on fact-finding missions through the rugged backcountry of the Evergreen State. Corrie moved East to continue her music education in Boston. Ironically, it was Woog who got married first. He found a nice Jewish bride in Washington and was married in 1951. He and his wife raised two children in the Seattle area. Corrie Scott continued her battle against discrimination. In 1953, she married a man who shared her convictions. That man was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dan Aznoff is a Bellevue freelance writer. His website is www.DAjournalist.com. He can be contacted directly at da@dajournalist.com.

Quick dent repairs latest fraud to target seniors BY DAN AZNOFF SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER
Parking lots at strip malls across the city have apparently become the newest hunting grounds for scam artists who prey on unsuspecting senior victims. Bellevue Police Det. Shelby Shearer said the latest scheme to bilk seniors takes place when a person who identifies themselves as an employee of a local auto body shop approaches the senior when they return to their car after shopping. The “employee” offers to repair small dents or dings on the vehicle for “cash and off the books.” “They may or not complete the repair, but they always demand immediate payment upfront for the job,” said Shearer. “They intimidate the senior and will offer
to follow them to the bank or home to collect their money.” The exact number of scams is difficult to determine, according to Shearer, because the victims are often too embarrassed to report the incident to the police. He estimated the ploy could be taking place as often as 3-5 times every week. The detective emphasized that the bill for the “minor repairs” can often total thousands of dollars. Shearer explained that seniors with limited incomes are often targeted with these “too good to be true low-cost opportunities.” Lt. Lisa Patricelli in Crime Prevention said her department recently completed an extensive investigation into one man who allegedly defrauded several unsuspecting elderly women in Bellevue on a bogus landscaping ploy that froze their assets “to
the tune of several million dollars.” “This so-called landscaper told the women that he had their benefits suspended and would only release them when he had been paid in full.” said Patricelli. Patricelli said publicity has helped to curtail many of the more common scams, but that criminals continue to look for ways to prey on unsuspecting residents. According to the AARP, scam artists who prey on seniors are becoming more bold with their schemes. Many of the ploys use the emotional trigger of a grandchild in trouble or the credibility of an existing charity. Seniors with grandchildren in college reported losses of more than $110 million last year, according to the AARP. The organization urges seniors to never give money to telephone solicitations unless they
have personal knowledge of the charity or the person on the other end of the telephone. It is not unusual for scam artists to use social media or the obituaries in local newspapers to collect the names of family members, locations and even travel schedules. “These people have no scruples,” said Patricelli. “But that’s pretty obvious based on who they choose to victimize.” Seniors suspicious about a proposition they believe may be too good to be true or believe they have been the victim of fraud are encouraged to call the Tip Line at 425-452-546 or contact the department by email at PDTipline@bellevuewa.gov.

a dismal 15 percent and the rate for Stage IV lung cancer is less than one percent. Urged on by recent studies indicating that CT screening significantly reduces lung cancer deaths, an advisory panel to Medicare convened in May to discuss the low-dose CT screening for lung cancer and assess whether Medicare should cover the screening in high-risk individuals. However, the panel voted against recommending national Medicare coverage for the annual screening for lung cancer. “Having Medicare and other insurers cover screening would clearly save lives. Until these payers decide to cover this important screening tool, our goal is to keep low-dose CT screening as affordable as possible,” said Freudenberger. Overlake Medical Center’s low-dose lung cancer screening costs $199. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer diagnosed in men and women. In fact, lung cancer causes more deaths in the United States than breast, colon, pancreas and prostate cancer combined.

and one of the hospital’s leading lung cancer experts. “With earlier detection, we know we can make a significant difference in the lives of our patients and tilt the odds back in their favor.” The new lung cancer screening program uses an affordable, low-dose CT scan that uses only 10 to 30 percent as much radiation compared to a standard-dose CT scan. All patients have to do is hold their breath for six seconds during the screening. The hospital recommends patients who have smoked for 15 or more years should discuss having the low-dose cancer screening with their primary care provider. “The discouraging reality about lung cancer is early stages of the cancer are not easily detected without such screenings,” said Freudenberger. “Patients become aware of the disease when symptoms become apparent. Too often, this signals a later, less treatable, stage of disease. We know we can catch this disease earlier with the right screening technology. This gives us the best chance of making a difference.” Stage I lung cancer has a 60 percent five-year survival rate, which rises to at least 75 percent with surgery. Later stage lung cancer, on the other hand, has a very poor prognosis. The five-year survival rate for Stage III lung cancer is

Overlake Medical Center physicians are hoping to increase the odds of surviving lung cancer with earlier detection. The hospital launched a new lung cancer screening program aimed to help identify lung cancer in its earlier stages, when five-year survival rates can reach as high as 75 percent with surgery. “Unfortunately, many patients we see are already in the later stages of lung cancer when the chances of successful treatment are significantly reduced,” said Todd Freudenberger, MD, an Overlake specialist in pulmonary medicine

Through their participation in the Regal Summer Movie Express program, the club also will implement at least two learning encounters that incorporate the Regal experience. The club will select from such activities as establishing a book club to read a movie themed book, adapting their own screen play based on the movie to visiting local landmarks after viewing to a film. “This is a great opportunity for our Boys & Girls Club members,” said Kathy Haggart of Boys & Girls Club of Bellevue.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
