Sex trafficking – old problem, new challenges in Bellevue BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue has been in the spotlight over the past month regarding a perceived uptick in sex trafficking and prostitution. But police say current events only highlight an issue that has long been prevalent in the Puget Sound region and beyond. "It's not new," said a Bellevue vice detective, who has been addressing the prostitution and sex trafficking problem here since
Enforcement Administration investigation of a Bellevue anesthesiologist for alleged sex trafficking and money laundering just scratch the surface of the regional problem with prostitution, said Bellevue Police Lt. Lisa Patricelli with the Investigations Section — an issue for which there is no simple solution. "The big part of it is we can't arrest our way out of this problem," she said.

Protest calls for Mars Hill pastor's ouster BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
More than 40 protesters gathered outside the Mars Hill Church Bellevue on Sunday to call for the ouster of its pastor, whom they accuse of abusing his undeserved power and shunning former members who have questioned him. There were many alleged grievances that led to the protest of Mark
Driscoll and the Mars Hill megachurch in Bellevue, where the pastor was absent during Sunday's service that coincided with the demonstration. Rob Smith, one of the organizers and a former Mars Hill member, said many protesters were there to support Paul Petry, a former pastor who claims he was fired from the church for questioning changes to its bylaws. Smith said his support
of Petry was what forced him out of the church. "We felt compelled to stand up with the Petrys, and we were disciplined immediately," Smith said. Those questioning the leadership of Driscoll, calling him a bully and misogynist, say they were called out by the pastor in a video last week as anonymous. A number of Sunday SEE PROTEST, 5
U.S. Rep. Adam Smith offered his assistance to the Bellevue City Council on Monday, expressing more optimism about state and local support than his ability to advance congressional objectives. "As far as D.C. is concerned, we are gridlocked for the most part on a large number of issues," he said. "We did manage to pass improvements to the Veterans Administration this week." But that's just one success coming out of Congress the 9th District Democrat highAdam Smith lighted, adding the country is still "stumbling" toward nine more years of sequestration — across-the-board discretionary spending cuts for transportation, education, defense, housing and other programs. Budget disagreements among the House, Senate and White House, including appropriations bills, are driving the country toward another government shutdown, Smith said. He added he's hopeful Washington Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will come up with a budget deal for the next two years of spending, as they did for 2014-15. "Continuing resolutions is not a great way to try to fund a government," Smith said.

WSDOT names contractor for new stretch of State Route 520 Flatiron West Inc. submitted the lowest bid of $199.5 million for the West Approach Bridge North Project of the SR 520 bridge replacement program. The bid was below WSDOT engineer’s estimate. Construction will begin this fall, with the new West Approach Bridge North scheduled to open to drivers in 2017. “The new SR 520 floating bridge will be the world’s longest floating bridge, but it actually ends more than a mile from shore,” said WSDOT SR 520 Program Administrator Julie Meredith. “The new approach bridge will serve as a vital connection between the new floating bridge and the commerce centers of Seattle.” Unlike the new floating bridge, the West Approach Bridge North will be supported by solid columns fastened directly to the bottom
of Lake Washington. The new approach bridge replaces a 51-year-old, hollow-column structure no longer suited to today’s traffic conditions and vulnerable to earthquakes, officials said. Just like the new floating bridge, the new westbound approach bridge will feature wider shoulders, a dedicated HOV lane and a path for walkers and cyclists. In other bridge news, 60 of the new bridge’s 77 pontoons are now constructed, with the remainder scheduled for completion by early 2015. The Eastside Transit and HOV Project is providing new highway lanes, transit stops and a regional bike-and-pedestrian path to the Eastside. WSDOT will continue to open these facilities as they are completed this summer, and the full project is scheduled for completion later this year.

Car plows into school, misses kids BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
An SUV came within five feet of striking several children inside a Bellevue Montessori School classroom Tuesday morning. Bellevue Police report a 39-year-old Redmond woman told them she was attempting to park her SUV to drop her child off at the school around 9 a.m. Tuesday, when she accelerated the vehicle into the west side of the building and through two classrooms and a hallway between them. “She accelerated, but unfortunately she accelerated too quickly,” said Bellevue Ofc.
Seth Tyler, because of a slight grade in the parking lot. “I was told if this had happened during the regular school year, there would have been many more kids that would have been inside the structure.” Five students and one teacher were in the first classroom when it was struck, but Tyler said luckily they were on the other side of the room. “The building was inspected, and there were no load-bearing walls that were struck,” Tyler said, adding the building can be occupied again once repairs are made.

Shoreline residents say master plan undermines years of work Homeowners ask council to respect recommendations BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Environmentally conscious owners of Bellevue shoreline properties may not agree with their neighbors about how to mitigate impacts from home improvements, but both sides of the fence found common ground Monday in opposing the City Council's revised shoreline master plan. In its second public hearing on the draft shoreline master plan being developed for state Department of Ecology approval, the council heard a resounding message: Residents are upset by alterations to the document they say was carefully crafted by the planning commission and public feedback over the past four years. "Do you remember me speaking to the planning commission?" said resident Katherine Murray to councilmembers Monday. "No, you weren't there." Several residents said they didn't get everything they wanted out of the shoreline master plan passed down to council by the planning commission, but called the compromises reached during that time a success. Members of the group Save Lake Sam-
mamish again spoke out against letting homeowners adjust setbacks to 25 feet rather than the current 53-foot setback, and being able to restore vegetative losses with more lawn than native plants. Many homeowners said a menu of mitigating actions they could take under the plan to modify their setbacks to be closer to the shoreline were more penalties than solutions. They also said some accessory structures should be allowed the same types of setbacks as their primary structures. "What this is really about is class warfare," said BSquare founder Bill Baxter, who told council his family has been good stewards of their Lake Washington property for more than a decade, which has been viewed by numerous city officials, including some councilmembers. "Some councilmembers seem to feel that the entitled, rich snobs living on the lake should not have the right to own and steward their own properties." Councilmembers did not address residents following the end of the public hearing, and the council is now adjourned for the rest of the month. Staff will attempt to revise the shoreline master plan using residents' feedback, and bring another modified document to council on Sept. 8.

No surprises locally in primary; voters need to get involved in November
I
t’s disappointing, but not really surprising, that statewide only 24 percent of people eligible to vote actually did so on Tuesday. And don’t get too smug yet. The percent was actually a bit less in King County. There weren’t any hot legislative races in the districts where residents around here live. All of the races in the 41st and 48th districts had only two candidates, meaning both move on to the general election. In the 1st and 9th congressional districts, both incumbents moved on from a crowded field, but that was expected. In the 1st District, Suzan DelBene collected more than half the votes in a seven-person race. Who she will face was not yet determined when we went to press. In the 9th District, Adam Smith racked up more than 63 percent of the votes cast. The November general election will be different, of course (we hope). In any case, the Reporter will ramp up its election coverage as we get closer to November. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Changes coming to insurance
I
t has been nearly three years since Washington began to build its state-based insurance exchange and profoundly expanded Medicaid. It has not been an easily defined road nor a smooth one. Nothing like this had ever been done before, which led to a number of challenges in budgeting, forecasting and other elements prior to the exchange’s launch on Oct. 1, 2013. Now the Phil Dyer exchange, known as the Washington Healthplanfinder (WHPF), has completed the open-enrollment period. The WHPF primarily offered only individual and family coverage, leaving small-business coverage until the next open enrollment later this year. We’ve learned a great deal and are already making changes for next year. First, new Medicaid enrollment

met expectations. In 2011, the projection was that Washington would see nearly 1.5 million people, new and current, enrolled on expanded Medicaid. However, during the actual open-enrollment period, the state saw more new enrollees than expected, but fewer re-enrolled. Looking now to the upcoming open enrollment period, we on the WHPF board are still in the planning process. There are several major areas of planning including Medicaid, the renewal process and expanding the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) statewide. As in any startup organization, we focused on the core responsibilities of the exchange. Now the exchange is looking to reduce operating costs while improving various aspects of the consumer experience for Medicaid and private insurance enrollees. In the case of Medicaid, we are looking to change the current approach where enrollees must simply accept the plan assigned to them.

City needs industrial growth
The real issue with the light rail yard is that the inept Bel-Red rezoning ripped out the last areas capable of supporting industrial growth in this city, preferring a vision of pretty pink castles full of niche tech startups and artisanal pet food shops. A healthy city needs a diverse range of businesses if it is going to survive. This includes the kind of blue collar jobs that a rail yard, or an expanded transfer station in Factoria will bring, yet these developments are seeing resistance at every turn, simply because they are not pretty enough for the city's 'vision'. Well, I don't think that empty shop units and shuttered apartments are all that pretty either. Yet it's what they've been building in Redmond and Seattle and Renton and even in our own downtown for years now, and they are not generating much tax revenue. Perhaps if our city planners would look out of their windows, they might learn something.

PROTEST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
here are people who record and share a few life events and others who register everything they’ve ever done and pour it out by the bucket to the entire world. Although blogging pushes me closer to the bucket brigade, most of the time life events — birthdays and anniversaries for example — come and go without my noticing. Recently, I read a news article about couples who provided their wedding guests with a hashtag they could use during the ceremony to post on Facebook, upload photos to Instagram and tweet. The article said that often the guests missed much of the event because they were busy checking for likes on their postings. My problem is that I might want to share memorable events with a wider audience, Ann Oxrieder but I forget to do it. Take our wedding 40-some years ago. I don’t think people hire a photographer when they’re married by a judge, and we didn’t own a camera in those days. Still, we had several parties and not one picture to even remind us who was there. Last week, five friends from grade school — we played together, formed secret clubs and graduated from Brownies
to Girls Scouts — came to my house. During lunch each of us shared a CliffsNotes synopsis of our lives over the intervening 50 years between high school and the present. Guess what? I had my phone at the ready and forgot to take a single photo. Two years ago I was sitting at Starbucks with my Spanish friend, Ana. (She passed away in June). I remember Ana pausing in our conversation to say, “Those girls at the next table are from Spain.” She got their attention and introduced both of us, found out they were au pairs and gave them her phone number. Ana and the young women kept in touch. Last week, one of them tracked me down, saying that her mother was in town and wanted to have a Spanish/English conversation with an American. “It would be a nice connection with Ana,” the girl said, “since she didn’t have the pleasure to meet my mom in person.” We had that conversation this morning, and it was a nice connection. Ana’s spirit was with us. Best of all, this time I remembered my iPhone.

information. Additionally, we need to improve the information available to those searching for a plan that best fits their health needs. The next open enrollment period is going to be fast upon us, and the exchange board is moving rapidly to address the demands and challenges placed on it.

Starting in April of 2015, we hope Medicaid enrollees will be able to shop for the plan that best suits them. In addition, I am concerned with more than 75 percent of our enrollment work being Medicaid. The exchange’s funding should be supported more from the Medicaid budget considerations by the Legislature, as opposed to requiring the private marketplace to pay the major part of sustainability of the exchange. In preparing for the first renewal period for those who purchased plans on the exchange, we need to improve the way subsidies are calculated using income and family •

protesters carried signs: "We are not anonymous." "Numerous people in this line have tried to get a meeting with (Driscoll)," said Jim Henderson, another organizer of the event advertised through a Facebook page: Dear Pastor Mark & Mars Hill: We are Not Anonymous. "These people have earned a right to a hearing. Some of these people helped plant the church." Driscoll's statement also prompted dissidents to dredge up a 14-year-old message by the pastor in a church chat board regarding what he considered "a pussified nation" of weak men, Henderson said. Driscoll apologized for the 2000 rant, which he wrote under the pseudonym, William Wallace II. "I've been tracking Driscoll for 10 years," he said. "It's a hobby." Protesters outside Mars Hill Church on Sunday say the politics of the church changed when a council of 24 elders was cut down to just a few, adopting bylaws set by
Driscoll. Those who questioned the pastor were either forced to leave the church through a "trial" or shunned out of the congregation, said Julia Youngs. "Our problem is not the church," said Youngs, who was "pushed out" in 2008. "Our issue is with the Mars Hill Church leadership culture." She said the second resignation from the church’s Board of Advisers and Accountability — the first being Paul Tripp — by James MacDonald may be a sign faith in Driscoll's leadership is waning. Knowing the protest would coincide with Sunday's service, Mars Hill Church provided a refreshment table for demonstrators that included a card: "We love you. Enjoy some free refreshments." "I just hope they didn't use the global fund to pay for it," said Smith, alluding to prior allegations the church misappropriated monies from the global fund for restoration of new church properties.

Prostitute's story aids investigation of alleged sex trafficker Auburn man allegedly used force to control women he sold for sexual services in Washington, Portland BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The confessions of a prostitute who allegedly faced regular beatings, living in fear of a controlling pimp, helped build a case that led to the grand jury indictment July 31 of a 33-yearold Auburn man for sex trafficking crimes. John "Lucky" Cyprian Jr., had been largely in control of the woman's life for about a year, taking on the role of her pimp in April 2013, according to a probable cause affidavit by the Bellevue Police Department, which led the investigation against the Auburn man. The woman approached a Bellevue vice detective in April, saying she wanted to help prosecute Cyprian for what he'd done to her and at least one other prostitute. Now Cyprian is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle on two counts of sex trafficking through force, fraud and coercion and two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution through coercion and enticement. The affidavit states the woman was already working as a prostitute when she met Cyprian through one of his former prostitutes in April 2013, initially declining his offer to be her

From that time to July 2013, the prostitute told police Cyprian controlled all aspects of her life, including setting up online ads for prostitution on Backpage.com, making her appointments with johns, setting fees for services and always staying close by while she worked a circuit that included Bellevue, Seatac, Mountlake Terrace, Auburn, Tukwila and Portland. He also allegedly beat the prostitute at least once a week, controlled what and when she ate and forced her to work 24/7, napping between johns, the affidavit states. Bellevue Police first encountered the prostitute during a joint undercover operation with the Child Endangerment Task Force on April 26, 2013, where the mission was to recover juveniles stuck in prostitution and encourage adult prostitutes to quit or leave their pimps. Cyprian had allegedly rented a room at the Bellevue Hilton to work the prostitute, posting an ad for her on Backpage that undercover officers used to schedule an appointment at the Silver Cloud Motel. After accepting $200 from an undercover officer for sex and becoming naked, she was arrested and interviewed about Cyprian, the affidavit states, refusing to give him up out of fear. She was arrested again for prostitution in July 2013 and incarcerated for 45 days, telling police she briefly returned to
tion funding measure also recently expired, Smith said, adding the nation's aging infrastructure needs new revenue sources for repairs and replacement, but many federal lawmakers are pledging no new taxes or increases in taxes to their constituents. "Now we're just funding almost month to month on transportation, and I think it's one of the biggest needs we have in the state and across the country, when you sort of look at where the United States is now compared to the other countries we're competing with, China most notably," Smith said. "‌ There's lots of ideas out there. We just haven't advanced them."
He said he wants to work with the City Council to support applications for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grants for transportation improvements that will be necessary for Bellevue to integrate light rail into its infrastructure. "I know the issues with Sound Transit never seem to go away," Smith said. Addressing another controversial project in Bellevue, Smith said Puget Sound Energy's Energize Eastside requires a lot of discussion, especially about meeting energy demands as the city continues to grow. He said improvements are needed, but could not define what those would look like.
work for Cyprian after her release. She later began dating a man, became pregnant and fled to Texas and then Las Vegas before calling Cyprian to ask him to take her back in January, the affidavit states. Once back in the Seattle area, the woman told police she was put to work driving Cyprian and a new prostitute to appointments around the region. She was arrested for an outstanding warrant out of Bellevue for prostitution later in January following a traffic stop while driving Cyprian around Mountlake Terrace. The Bellevue Police, working with the Mountlake Terrace Police and FBI, began building a case against Cyprian, the affidavit states, linking the 33-year-old Auburn man to Backpage ads and confirming the prostitute's story through hotel invoices signed by Cyprian. Auburn Police arrested Cyprian for domestic violence at the Days Inn in May, after he allegedly grabbed, punched, pushed and shook his alleged prostitute. He made bail, but was again arrested by Bellevue Police after officers received a tip regarding his whereabouts on June 16.

Choosing poor-quality vinyl windows is a mistake.
Our Fibrex® material is
2X STRONGER THAN VINYL
Choosing the proper window material is everything. Even in moderate temperature swings, poor-quality vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks. Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years? We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a patented wood composite that has the rich, elegant look and feel of finely crafted wood windows without the maintenance. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl? To serve homeowners who only want to replace their windows once.

Bellevue man unveils rare WW I posters Stuart Hood of Bellevue on July 28 shared with neighbors and friends for the first time his family’s collection of over 35 original WWI posters. The date marked the 100th anniversary of the day when Austria, with Germany as an ally, declared war on Serbia, an action that started what escalated into “the war to end all wars” known today as World War I. Hood's war posters came into play after the United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917. Large rallies were held to sell War Bonds, enlist young men to fight and ask for help. Posters designed by well-known artists like Norman Rockwell were hung in stores, on store windows, in libraries and on billboards. In Portland Ore., one of the distributers of such posters was Harry Cowgill, the grandfather of Hood’s wife Barbara. Leftover posters have remained in the family ever since. The July 28 display was at Pacific Regent Bellevue and was the first time all the posters had been exhibited at once. Stuart and his family plan to have the posters preserved before donating them to one of several organizations in time for public showing by April 6, 2017, which will be the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into WWI.

The old Bellevue Pioneer Cemetery was located near what is now 112th Avenue Northeast and BellevueRedmond Road. It began as five acres of the Warren family's private burial grounds. It expanded to include their pioneer neighbors — like the Whaleys, the Shiachs, the Bechtels, the Boddys and Numotos. There was a corner of the cemetery that was dedicated to the Japanese community. Though the last plot was sold in 1930, the cemetery remained in use through World War II. There were about 200 people buried there. The land was deeded to the Bellevue Masons in 1955, who wanted to build a Masonic Temple on the site. In 1969 the land was sold to developers and the next year the remains from the cemetery were removed. Many were reinterred at Sunset Hills Memorial

The broad strokes of arts news
Finding summer stock in Snoqualmie BY DANIEL NASH
Son of the Godfather Daryl Brown, the son of Godfather of Soul James Brown, will visit the Bellevue location of the University Book Store Aug. 28. Brown will discuss his book “My Father the Godfather,” about the life of James Brown from the perspective of his son. Brown will give a reading of his book and sign copies. The appearance will take place at 6 p.m. University Book Store is located at 990 102nd Ave. N.E. in Bellevue.
Rehearsals begin on ‘A Chorus Line’ Rehearsals began Tuesday on “A Chorus Line,” the first production of 5th Avenue Theatre’s 2014-2015 season. The story of the 1975 musical follows 17 dancers as they audition for a spot on a Broadway chorus line. Among musicals, the show is a minimalist character piece, taking place on a bare stage. Bellevue natives Sarah Rose Davis and Mallory King are cast in the show as Maggie and Kristine, respectively. “A Chorus Line” will run Sept. 3-28.
Intiman Theatre Festival to present ‘Angels in America’ Intiman Theatre will present both parts of Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America” as the cornerstone piece of its 2014 festival. First staged in 1993, “Angels” examined American gay culture and the AIDS crisis of the ‘80s through its story of a patient experiencing heavenly visions. Both parts will run at the Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center. Part 1, “Millenium Approaches,” runs Aug. 12 to Sept. 21. Part 2, “Perestroika,” runs Sept. 3-21.
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
BELLEVUE REPORTER
In Fall City, hidden at a particularly sharp corner and behind a dozen potholes of Southeast David Powell Road, sits the entrance. Travel another half-mile up an increasingly narrow hillside road and you find yourself in the main clearing, at the epicenter of 95 acres of forest across the river from the Snoqualmie Falls. From here, it’s another brisk walk through the woods to your destination, the entire reason for your day-trip out into the wilderness: an outdoor production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Snoqualmie Falls Forest Theater and Family Park is closed to the general public for most of the year, except for six weekends when the private nonprofit park puts on its annual summer stock production to fulfill its mission of promoting the theatrical arts. Doubtless, the park’s directors would hope to wow some new memberships out of the audience, but it’s a soft sell built on a foundation of merit: they offer nothing more than an inexpensive, well-produced show and barbecue dinner in a wilderness setting. “Fiddler on the Roof ” proves to be

From the moment they “fade in,” running short vignettes of life in Anatevka before the show truly begins, to Tevye’s final farewell, the cast effectively fills their low-tech setting — without dramatic lighting, set changes or microphones
— with the personality and atmosphere of Jewish Russia in the early 20th Century. The musical — now 50 years old — is well known: Jewish patriarch Tevye (Doug Knoop) marries off his three eldest daughters and stands by as each departs further and further from traditions he holds dear. Meanwhile, the czarist government steadily makes life more difficult for Anatevka’s Jewish inhabitants. Knoop plays jovial and exasperated SEE FIDDLER, 11

well, putting Tevye forward as a person who, despite his scruples, is too naturally flexible not to bend with the changing winds. This makes him likable, but it also acts to his detriment later in the story — when Knoop is called upon to put his foot down, it lands like a feather.

REPORTER Q/A | Bellevue High School and USA junior swimmer Kim Williams The Reporter sat down with swimmer and Bellevue High School student KIM WILLIAMS to discuss her time in the pool for the Wolverines, and a pair of US Junior National victories.
tiring but you feel so good after completing a tough workout. You could be training all season and the end of the season may not be what you want. This meet was finally one where everything I trained for all season did pay off. The training schedule is pretty tough, but it keeps me busy and with all my friends at practice. Iwouldn’t want to be anywhere else. A lot of people wouldn’t understand that.
Q A
What was it like to win two events at Junior Nationals, against a field of the top competitors from around the country?
Q A
Kim Williams: I’m still kind of amazed. I wasn’t really expecting to win. I’ve definitely been working towards that. My coaches said it has been a long time coming. I’ve never thought it could actually happen. It just kind of takes my breath away. All my hard work has paid off and it is really exciting. I don’t know if satisfying is the right word. But all that work for months and months, you’re being rewarded for it. Why did you choose to stick with high school swimming, and how intense is your schedule during the prep season? Kim Williams: It’s been pretty crazy. I like the rigor of the schedule, with an intense class schedule and having workouts sometimes twice a day. Being a teenager during the summer, most people would

Kim Williams on the podium at US Junior Nationals think it is consumed by swimming, and it is. Sometimes I wish I could be a normal kid and do what normal kids do, instead of practice, nap and practice. But it is really rare when I’d say I don’t want to do it. I would probably be bored. I love going to practice and training as hard as I can. It is spilling off their sweat-covered mugs, after winning the state football championship. A forlorn Newport player, downtrodden after a heartbreaking playoff loss that ended his gridiron career, smiling and signing an autograph for a young fan as he walked to the locker room. Streams of runners dashing through the mud and mist around Lake Sammamish State Park, chasing that personal best time Josh Suman and a spot in the state cross country meet as they tried for a district title. Genuine happiness — for someone else — after a suddendeath playoff on the golf course. The names change, but the reason we cheer never will. The passion high school and local sports are built upon gives them a unique place in the community. My own journey will not take me far, as I will remain in Bellevue with the nonprofit Jubilee REACH, serving as a site coach for the after school programming, and the media coordinator for the organization. You may still even see my name in this paper, time and again. We won’t be taking in the game together. But maybe we will catch up for a rematch down the road.

Kim Williams: It was big. We kind of decided last minute, in August last year, to move from BCS to Bellevue. Just in terms of prepping me for college, I think BHS education will do a better job of that just because they offer more AP classes. I’m looking at some bigger universities, so I wouldn’t want to come out of a 400 person school. I’m looking at pretty much all the warm weather Pac-12 schools: Stanford, Cal, UCLA, USC, Arizona, not in that order. I’d like to swim outside. I have watched the Pac-10 championships in Federal Way and always wanted to compete there and with a big team like that and help contribute to a winning team.
Q A
What is different about the high school team from club swimming?
Kim Williams: I started as a freshman and was just planning on doing my first two years, and then focus on club swimming. I thought it would be fun for a few years but I would have to focus on school and club. I stuck with it the whole way because it is so different, just in terms of the team aspect. I just really like how it is for your school. Moving to Bellevue, it is definitely different representing the school you attend. I like that a lot, too. You’re competing for your school and surrounded by girls where not everyone is doing club swimming, but they all love it so much. It is fun to see it no matter what level it is at. It’s so team oriented, and so much fun. I’m kind of at a loss for words. It’s special.
Q A
What are your hopes for the high school season, and what has it been like so far being a captain?
Kim Williams: First and foremost, we have a really strong group of captains and had a lot of meetings and set up a pretty exciting season in terms of team bonding and getting everyone in the spirit. We got second in the 200 medley relay at state and everyone is back from that relay team, so hopefully, we can win it.

Preliminary district budget anticipates 19,000 new students BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue School District’s general fund budget for the coming school year includes a $14 million increase in revenues — and a $17 million increase in expenditures. But a greater portion of the money spent will be invested into basic education and student services, Melissa deVita said to the school board Tuesday.
The deputy superintendent of finance and operations reported on the district’s preliminary general fund budget at the Aug. 5 school board meeting. The board will vote on a final budget later in August. “Significantly more money is being spent in basic education,” deVita said. “Less money is being spent in district-wide support. So we continue as a district to put money in our schools and in our students, which is obviously one of our primary missions.” The revenue increases will come from
full state funding of transportation, from an expected inflow of more than 19,000 students and from the Educational Programs and Operations levy approved by voters in February. The budget anticipates nearly $229 million in revenue versus $233.9 million in expenditures. So what accounts for the expense increases? The greatest of the new expenditures is nearly $4.6 million earmarked for more
than 50 additional full-time teachers in general education and music. The amount is closely followed by more than $4.1 million for salary changes to current positions in the district. More than six full-time special education teachers and “other resources” — outsourced contracts and a paraeducational coordinator among other costs, deVita said — will be added at a cost of nearly SEE BUDGET, 14
Madeleine Sophie principal awarded honors for ‘inclusion’ A Factoria Catholic school’s principal was awarded honors this summer for policies fostering an inclusive campus. Dan Sherman is the principal of St. Madeleine Sophie, a campus opened in 2005 with a mission to welcome a diverse student populace: ethnically, economically and academically. The perception, Sherman said, was that Catholic and private school students on the Eastside were a homogenous group of white and privileged children who came into school with academic advantages.
“If you apply to some schools and have an academic need, you’re the equivalent of a square peg in a round hole,” Sherman said. But the founders of St. Madeleine Sophie knew the area was more diverse than people might realize. For example, Factoria was a hub for Korean Catholics on the Eastside. The school was opened with smaller classrooms, teachers trained in special education, and a “pay what you’re able” tuition model. Sherman estimated 80 percent of his school’s 200 students pay less than full tuition, with the deficit made up by donations and archdiocese contributions.
Forty percent of the student body, developmentally challenged and highly capable alike, study under a personalized education plan. The Edward M. Shaughnessy III Serving All God’s Children Award was given to Sherman at the National Catholic Educational Association’s Education Law Symposium in Kentucky.

hour for their services. "They are going to attract a certain type of clientele," the vice detective said of attractive hotels and rental units, adding of apartments and condominiums, "These are the ones where we would most likely see the foreign trafficked gals." Prostitution is also a transient problem, he said, as many sex workers travel in circuits, staying a few days in one city before heading to another — all the while keeping up with their online advertisements. "They say they come to Bellevue because the money's there and the guys are nice," said the vice detective, but that's not always the case. Even prostitutes in Bellevue are in danger of being robbed, beaten or sexually assaulted, and most of those crimes go unreported, Patricelli added. In a joint sting operation by the BPD and King County Sheriff 's Office in March, detectives posted online ads for prostitution, netting 10 arrests. That included a Seattle man who allegedly went to the Bellevue hotel intending to rob the undercover officer he thought was a sex worker. This turned out to be the man's modus operandi, using a firearm that turned out to be an air gun, Patricelli said. While websites like Back-

support staff added, including technology specialists and reading interventionists. A contingency fund was earmarked for five full-time teachers in case enrollment spiked to greater numbers than expected. The budget deficit means the district will need to make up the gap with reserve funds, to the tune of almost $5 million. “We will be spending down our reserve by nearly $4.99 million,” deVita said. “$1.5 million of that is one-time expenditures, $3.5 million is ongoing expenses.

and we've also seen a huge increase in the amount of training (by hoteliers)," Brettmann said. "… When I talk to people from Bellevue, they seem to think their community is somehow immune," because of the level of affluence. "Nobody is immune to this, in fact a lot of this crime follows money, so they're also at risk." Brettmann said BEST is also working to develop a way for hoteliers to communicate with each other, but it's uncertain how many might get on board. "We're not sure if it's going to work yet," she said. "… We're just kind of piloting it, right now." Carol Loya said she's using her business, Truce Spa at the Westin Bellevue Hotel, to champion the healing side for sex trafficking victims. Loya carried her charge back to Bellevue and her Kirkland church from Thailand, where in 2012 she joined other congregation members in working to get girls and women out of the sex trade there. Escape to Peace is a global mission to end human trafficking. Loya said locally that includes clothing and toiletry drives, raising funds for the Bellevue Police Department to aid victims and workshops with high school students
$1.5 million. Additional assistant principals and deans will be added to school campuses for more than $1.4 million. Other staff additions include nearly seven secondary counselors and three new district-level positions: executive director of schools, district athletic director and leader of graduation success.

which includes receiving training and resources through groups like Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking. Founder and Executive Director Mar Brettmann said the BEST Alliance launched in 2012, and was inspired by a 2008 study commissioned by the city of Seattle. That study estimated 250 boys and girls were involved in prostitution in the city and outlying areas annually. "That was one piece of research that really brought this issue to the floor, and I was wondering what businesses could do to be part of the solution," Brettmann said, adding victims services groups and law enforcement were reacting to the issue, while she wanted to focus on prevention. "As far as sex trafficking, we focused our work on the hotel industry. … Hotels are often used to facilitate the crimes, unfortunately." BEST brings in those victims services groups and law enforcement to provide hoteliers and their staff with training to recognize possible sex trafficking occurring at their businesses. "I think we've made a good start. We did do a program evaluation to see what is happening, and we have seen an uptick in the number of cases that have been identified at hotels …

Backpage.com. Without a known strip in Bellevue where prostitutes are seen visually enticing customers, most transactions are happening online and behind closed doors. In the DEA case against the Bellevue anesthesiologist, he is alleged to have aided his Thai girlfriend's sex trafficking enterprise, renting out apartments and condos for prostitution and using Backpage.com to advertise the women being used. Cyprian is also accused of trafficking women through hotels in the Puget Sound region and Portland, recruiting women to work for him, and subjecting them to physical and emotional abuse, according to court documents. Bellevue's vice detective told the Reporter a number of the city’s high-end hotels, upscale high-rise apartments and condominiums are being used for prostitution. The Bellevue doctor under investigation by the DEA is alleged to have rented out units at the Avalon Meydenbauer, AMLI Apartments at Bellevue Park and Washington Square condominiums for his girlfriend's prostitutes, who charged up to $200 an
page.com are a problem for law enforcement trying to counter criminal activity, the vice detective said it is also a tool for tracking down prostitutes and pimps. It can also be used during sting operations, where fake ads are put up to catch johns. This hasn't been done with the support of Backpage.com, which removes ads posted by law enforcement to discourage potential johns with warnings that some posts for escorts are actually the police, said Tyler, "Because it's bad for business." The vice detective said even if Backpage.com and other popular advertisement sites for prostitution were shut down, others would take their place. Johns, known on the streets these days as "hobbyists," don't fit one demographic, the vice detective said, and those busted in Bellevue aren't always residents here. He said johns sometimes travel for hours to get to Bellevue for appointments with prostitutes. Johns are the primary target for Bellevue's Vice Unit, which aims to curb the demand side of prostitution — a directive that comes down from the King County Prosecutor's Office. The prosecutor's office will soon announce the award of a federal Department of Justice grant to aid in doing just that, Patricelli said. The business community has also mobilized to fight sex and labor trafficking,
to decorate flip-flops for victims, she said. "The police will say the youth will come in dirty, so they give them the toiletries to clean up. With their street clothes on they're still in this state of who they were," Loya said, adding she coordinates her efforts with Patricelli at the police department. "People really want to help. I say, these people want to do something, what do you need, and she'll say something like flip-flops and then our goal is flip-flops." Truce Spa also issues clients puzzle pieces – the symbol for human trafficking — in exchange for three wine bottles, or other bottles, that can be used to create candles. Candles are used to aid victims in relaxing their troubled bodies and minds. Loya said she hopes to put informative puzzle pieces up in storefront windows and other businesses around the area where traffickers are known to recruit sex workers. "It just takes a while for things to get known, but we're working toward that, because that's our goal," Loya said. "I think it's going to be years of this whole movement."

Your Lifestyle Is Important AT MERR ILL GARDENS, WE UNDER S TAND. Executive Chef Quinton Stewart brings his culinary experience to 99 Park in downtown Bellevue. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter
Downtown Bellevue restaurant opens Monday BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
99 Park Executive Chef Quinton Stewart says his farm-to-table concept for the soonto-open downtown Bellevue restaurant will showcase locally sourced ingredients by giving them the respect they deserve. “What we’re trying to do is almost take care of them, and not let them get lost in sauces or salts, and just let them have their natural processes,” says Stewart, whose culinary background started in Seattle, followed by a two-year stint in New York and then San Francisco. “I don’t want to serve anything here that we’ve done before.” Stewart first interned at Seattle’s Tilth restaurant in 2005, following graduation from the Art Institute of Seattle. After cutting his teeth at other Seattle kitchens like Spur and the Coterie Room, Stewart spent two years in New York — his dream
being to one day work work at the twotime Michelin starred Noma restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark. “Their philosophy is to take as much as you can from the area and use it as the inspiration for your dish,” Stewart says, a style he wants to apply at 99 Park. “We take some liberties with the other cultural influences.” On top of working at the Waverly Inn & Garden and Scandinavian brasserie ACME in New York, Stewart says he was lucky enough to learn from chefs Daniel Burns and Mads Refslund about modernist, new Nordic cuisine — the same style Noma is credited with pioneering. Stewart held on to that knowledge over the winter while working kitchens in San Francisco. “I wanted to get out of New York,” says SEE 99 PARK, 16

Meydenbauer Center getting $12.5 million upgrade
BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue City Council fast-tracked its approval this week of a $12.5 million capital improvement plan for the 20-year-old Meydenbauer Center, which is slated to begin extensive renovations next summer. Members of the Bellevue Convention Center Authority Board made the request to council on June 30, asking to use $4.1 million in reserves from the sale of the old convention center site and for authorization to issue $8.5 million in tax-exempt bonds. BCCA Chairman Rick Carlson said the Meydenbauer Center has generated about $400 million in economic impact since opening in 1993, including $34.7 million and $8 million in state and county tax revenue,
respectively. The debt service from the bonds is expected to be covered by revenues coming into the center. BCCA Director John Christison told the council that exterior remediation for the center is estimated to cost $2.7 million,

Marian Margaret “Peggy” Redinger Dreves left this earth to be with her creator on July 4, 2014. Born in Spokane February 24, 1930 to John and Margaret (Ulowetz) Redinger, she graduated from Holy Names Academy (Spokane) in 1948, and entered the Sisters of the Holy Names in Marylhurst, Oregon. As Sister Margaret Joan, she taught in Catholic schools in Tacoma, Seattle, Richland and Spokane. She served in parish administration, in the Seattle Archdiocesan office, and in early childhood religious education with Veronica Beacom Dreves, long-time Lake Hills resident, until Mrs. Dreves’ death in 1986. Released from her religious vows and community in 1987, she married Martin P. Dreves, Sr., who died in 1989. She was an active member of St. Louise parish before retiring to Spokane in 2005. A loving and generous-hearted sister, aunt, step-mother, and stepgrandmother, Peggy is survived by brothers Robert (Dorothy), Kalispell, MT and Richard (Barbara), Spokane, and numerous nieces and nephews. Five Dreves step-children, Vivien Rose, Trumansburg, NY, Thomas Dreves, Tokyo, James J. Dreves, Snohomish, Christine Rose, Kirkland, Julia Miller, Edgewood, and their spouses, 13 step-grandchildren, and 2 step-great-grandchildren also survive. A step-son, Martin P. Dreves, Jr., died in 1997. A funeral mass was offered at St. Thomas More, Spokane, and a memorial mass at St. Louise, Bellevue. Her remains are interred at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, Bellevue. Memorial donations may be made in her name to Sisters of the Holy Names, Alzheimer’s Association, or Hospice of Spokane.

Center. “While we found that many people felt the facility was open and adaptive with lots of natural light; that it was very conveniently located; and that the customer service was excellent, we also heard comments about the spaces being too cavernous, sterile and hard to make feel intimate and that the lighting and audio were difficult and challenging,” according to a statement from the Meydenbauer Center. It is uncertain what upgrades will be made first, as interior design has only just begun. There will also be significant work done to modernize the exterior of the Meydenbauer Center, which will soon be situated across from the Bellevue Transit Center Station, set to be constructed as part of Sound Transit’s East Link extension.

CHOW DOWN (town) at Ashwood Park Thursday A mobile buffet of culinary offerings in the form of 12 food trucks will park at Ashwood Park 3:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday for CHOW DOWN (town). The event was organized by Bellevue resident and city parks employee Jon Wilson “after hearing from residents who wanted to see a food truck event downtown,” he said. Parking for the food truck roundup will be available at the downtown library. Vendors include: ChopStix - Asian Fusion; Falafel Salam - Middle Eastern; Lumpia World - Filipino; Street Treats - ice cream sandwiches; Skillet Street Food - burgers, poutine; Yi Dim Sum - dim sum; Buns on Wheels – gourmet burgers; Ezell’s Express Chicken - southern fried chicken; Tokyo Dog – Japanese-style hot dogs; Hot Revolution - mini hot donuts; and Fruit Chatterbox fresh cut fruit with toppings. Admission is free and food prices range from $2 to $17. The Dysfunction Junction Bluegrass Band will provide live entertainment 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Stewart. “I stuck it out, I did my 2 1/2 years there.” When Stewart interviewed with 99 Park’s owners and the consulting firm they’d brought on, the original menu posted online was turned over to the 28-year-old chef for reinvention. “I’ve had the freedom to take all of my experience and try to roll it all into one,” he says. People will come to 99 Park for comfort foods like burgers and sliders, says Stewart, but also be able to enjoy sharing small plates with friends and family, Stewart says. A Neah Bay albacore with Oregon quinoa tabouli and habanero aioli is sure to stay on the menu, he adds. Seasonal changes to the menu will enhance what is already available, but Stewart says he doesn’t believe in going too far tweaking culinary offerings. “I think when chefs change up too much, they end up with a lot of misses on their menu,” says Stewart, but consistency is important to repeat customers. “This is a neighborhood. It’s like a place where actual people live. You have to be consistent.” Stewart is constantly making contacts at Bellevue farmers markets, but says he is also using his western Washington roots to find wild-growing ingredients. “I grew up foraging,” he says. “I was interested in going out and finding chanterelles in Cle Elum and morels around the Puget Sound.” With less than a week until 99 Park opens Aug. 11 across from Bellevue Downtown Park on 102nd Avenue Northeast, work is heating up in the kitchen. Finding cooks to staff the kitchen was easier than expected, says Stewart, and test plates are coming out “hot and clean.” “And we’ve only been back there a week,” he says. 99 Park will open for dinner at 4 p.m. Monday-Friday, with happy hour 4-6 p.m. and a late-night menu Thursday-Saturday until 1 a.m. Brunch will start at 11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

425-312-5489 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.
