Council closes in on shoreline plan adoption
Property crimes in Bellevue over the first nine months of 2014 were nearly 15-percent higher than the same time last year. With the holiday season in full swing, police want residents and shoppers to follow a few simple steps to discourage criminal behavior across the city. Vehicle thefts in Bellevue saw the largest increase from January to September of this year, compared to last, at 29.7 percent. Larceny cases, which include shoplifting, stealing from
vehicles and other thefts, were up 21.5 percent. Amanda Jensen, residential crime prevention detective for the Bellevue Police Department, says most of the major criminals apprehended in the city are not residents; they are drawn in by Bellevue’s affluent reputation, and are not particular about what they’re stealing, if they think they can pawn the items for drug money. It’s that same perception of affluence, Jensen says, that often causes residents to become victims. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to

Police are cautioning residents to protect their belongings. Property crimes increased 14.6 percent from Jan-Sept. a car prowl and people are saying, ‘I can’t believe it, this is Bellevue,’” she said. “It’s definitely the mentality here that
people don’t think this is going to happen to them, so they really open SEE THEFTS, 19
While complicated at times, Bellevue councilmembers on Monday hailed a proposed shoreline master program as a unique way to benefit city residents while satisfying state Department of Ecology requirements. City staff provided the council Monday with a final draft for the program, based on councilmembers’ input on Sept. 8, using November to meet with stakeholders that included Save Lake Sammamish, the Washington Sensible Shorelines Association and the Meydenbauer Bay Neighborhood Association. City Land Use Director Carol Helland said the final draft retains public access on new or expanded public properties, only requiring visual access for new or expanded private properties, such as marinas and yacht clubs. The original high water mark, used in determining setbacks, will remain at 31.2 feet, based on a 2004 SEE SHORELINE, 18

77-year-old pedestrian struck by vehicle, dies Monday Police say icy windows, failure to look right were contributing factors BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Police are pointing to icy windows and a failure to look to the right as contributing to a teen driver’s collision with a 77-year-old Seattle woman that killed the pedestrian early Monday morning. Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said the woman was legally using the crosswalk on 150th Avenue Southeast at South-
east 38th Street at about 6 a.m. Monday, when she was struck by an 18-year-old Bellevue man. Police determined the teen had not adequately defrosted the windows on his vehicle, “and that resulted in him not being able to see outside his window where the pedestrian was crossing,” Tyler said, adding the driver also failed to look right, which meant not seeing the pedestrian in the crosswalk. A drug recognition expert evaluated the driver and police do not believe drugs or alcohol played a factor in the collision. Police located Monday
afternoon the company that owned a second vehicle, a pickup, which may have also struck the victim. Tyler said another highway traffic camera caught a better image of the vehicle, and police are now talking with the driver. Both the teen driver’s vehicle and the pickup were still being analyzed as of press time. The investigation remains active, Tyler said, and any potential charges against the teen driver will be decided by the King County Prosecutor’s Office once the case is closed.

Early morning fire damages auto repair shop in Factoria BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Firefighters responded to an early morning two-alarm fire that erupted at A&M Auto Repair on Southeast 27th Place on Nov. 26. Fire Lt. Rich Burke said College Hill neighbors reported seeing flames at approximately 1 a.m., and an engine responded shortly after. “The entire center of the two-story structure was fire through the roof,” he
said. “We struck a second alarm.” The Bellevue Fire Department received aid from Mercer Island to tackle the blaze, which also spilled into office space for Superior Towing on the 13000 block of Southeast 27th Place. “We were able to get into the office space and retrieve some of the equipment, computers and stuff,” Burke said, adding firefighters are attempting to retrieve several security cameras from the building to assist with the department’s investigation into the cause of the fire.

Apartment fire resulted in injuries, health complications that killed first female mayor BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Two Bellevue men pleaded guilty Nov. 26, to running a hash oil operation out of a Hampton Greens apartment, which last year resulted in an explosion at the complex that injured several residents, one of whom died following hospitalization for injuries sustained while fleeing her home. The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced charges against several alleged hash oil manufacturers in the region in July, part of “Operation Shattered.” On Nov. 26, Daniel J. Strycharske, 28, and Jesse D. Kaplan, 31, pleaded guilty in federal court to endangering human life while manufacturing hash oil and marijuana. Strycharske, Kaplan and David Schultz,
32, were charged in July with endangering human life while manufacturing controlled substances, maintaining a drug involved premises and manufacturing hash oil and marijuana. Residents at the Hampton Greens apartments awoke early Nov. 5, 2013, to the sound of an explosion that shook the complex and nearby businesses and residences, causing a fire that ripped through the KK building at 4505 148th Ave. N.E. A Bellevue Police investigative report states the three Bellevue men were residing in the apartment where the explosion occurred, caused by the ignition of butane gas inside that was part of a hash oil manufacturing operation. Seven people were hospitalized that day, including former Bellevue Mayor Nan Campbell, who later died from complications following hospitalization for injuries she suffered while fleeing the ensuing fire. Sentencing hearings are set for March. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Patrick Colgan is accused of having inappropriate relationship with student BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Interlake High School teacher Patrick Colgan pleaded not guilty Nov. 26 in King County Superior Court to allegations he engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student from March to June of this year. Colgan, 33, was arrested by Bellevue Police on Nov. 7, following a report by a mental health provider the day before stating the English teacher had engaged in a sexual relationship with one of his students during the 2013-14 school year. He was charged with first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor on Nov. 13. According to the probable cause affidavit, the alleged victim told police Colgan began sending her sexually explicit emails in March, asking her to “engage in sex acts with him,” the report states. Colgan reportedly made sexual contact with the student outside a Kirkland coffee shop in May, and the two exchanged sexually explicit emails until the student broke off the relationship in June. Colgan is alleged to have continued sending the student emails from June to October. Police interviewed Colgan at Interlake High School on Nov. 7, where the report states Colgan identified the student as the cause of the investigation and then declined to answer a detective’s questions. Following his arrest, the Bellevue School District placed Colgan on administrative leave

Bellevue College President Dr. David Rule joined President Barack Obama, the First Lady and Vice President Joe Biden along with hundreds of college presidents on Thursday as part of an announcement of new actions to help more students prepare for and graduate from college. Rule and other higher education leaders were invited to Washington, D.C., as part of the second White House College Opportunity Day of Action in support of the president’s commitment to partner with colleges and universities, business leaders and nonprofits to support students across the country. As part of the event, Bellevue College stated its commitment to create more opportunities for students to engage in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) education and pursue careers in related fields, according to Rule. According to a recent study, only nine percent of those born in the lowest family income tax bracket attain a bachelor’s degree by age 25, compared to the 54 percent of those in the top tax bracket who complete their degree by that time. Through the creation of the college’s RISE (Research, Innovation, Service and Experiential Learning) Institute, a 70,000-square-foot health, sciences building, Rule said the campus will be able to add three bachelor degree programs, six associate degree programs, and numerous other certificates. “STEM education is vital to our future, the future of our country, the future of our region and the future of our children,” Rule said. “The U.S. Labor Department predicts the 10 fastest growing occupations from 2008-2018 to be STEM-related and with median salaries that will help fuel our economy.” Rule said the college has already taken those trends to heart, adding the staff is “actively working to meet these current and future needs.” He and other higher education leaders were asked to commit to new action in at least one of four areas including: building networks of colleges focused on promoting completion; creating K-16 partnerships focused on college readiness; investing in high school counselors as part of the First Lady’s Reach Higher initiative and increasing the number of college graduates in STEM fields. President Obama announced his administration’s next steps on how they’ll be helping support these actions, along with at least $10 million in funding to help promote college completion and a $30 million AmeriCorps program to improve low-income student’s access to college. On Thursday morning, the president and staff were expected to present a progress report on the commitments made last year during the first day of action.

Community colleges: investing in the future
D
uring the annual Eastside Economic Forecast Breakfast presented by the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, global economist and strategist Joseph Quinlan affirmed the importance of financially supporting community colleges. Bellevue College was a sponsor of this annual meeting, further reinforcing its commitment to collaborative partnerships and community engagement. Quinlan’s presentation was undergirded by the importance of workforce development as companies plan for robust growth and expansion throughout the region. Giving back to this institution of higher learning provides a significant opportunity to make a difference that will impact generations of Washingtonians. For nearly a half-century, Bellevue GAYLE COLSTON College’s focus on innovation and viBARGE sionary thinking has prepared students for successful careers in a myriad of industries. More than 35,000 students attend the college annually, making it one of the largest institutions of higher learning in the state. The diversity of its students, staff and faculty, combined with a strong commitment to social justice, extend the reach of the college as both a concerned community partner and economic driver. From a local commerce perspective, Bellevue boosts the overall economic health by infusing more than $185.1 million into East King County yearly. Employers benefit from a strong workforce that is academically prepared to meet the challenges of a continually changing environment with more than 11,000 students trained annually. Approximately 75 percent of BC’s professional and technical graduates take jobs in King County. Taxpayers receive a net positive each year of 10.1 percent in the communities east of Lake Washington via increased tax revenues from graduates and reduced costs for welfare and healthcare.

New rules on domestic violence issues Pro football has been in the news with Ray Rice, as well as other football players, with their domestic violence episodes. Maybe it is time for the contracts of all professional sports athletes to include a paragraph something to the effect: If you are convicted of domestic violence, or test positive for use of self-enhancing drugs, you will be suspended from participation in any professional sport for 24 months. You will forfeit any awards received during the time of abuse and all pay during the period of suspension. A second offense relating to any of these actions will result in permanent banishment from all pro sports for life. That hopefully would put some integrity back into sports. Kids need to see role models in sports figures versus the wrong message that a few sports figures are sending. Setting records and the treatment of others needs to be done honorably. Maybe this will put a stop to the people like Lance Armstrong, Alex Rodriguez and Ray Rices etc. from seeking glory the dishonest way or abusing others around them. The attorneys can work out the legalese, but you get the idea.

Time to get educated on PSE project
a far-sighted request to upgrade an aging infrastructure and plan for future growth, has been hijacked into an oversized project that benefits a foreign-owned private corporation (PSE) as it prepares to divest in 2017. Local needs have been expanded into a crisis and we Eastside residents are being asked to pay for a vastly oversized project that seems more suited to transferring power between Canada and California than meeting our expected growth. CENSE (Coalition of Eastside Neighbors for Sensible Energy) has enlisted the talents of our Eastside residents including electrical engineers and people who have worked in the power industry and have unearthed documents, data and have subsequently proposed an alternative solution. This can all be viewed at their website: cense.org The articles written to date on this subject have emphasized the PR tag lines that PSE has continually repeated. I guess if you repeat something often enough, it eventually becomes the truth. Frankly, it boggles my mind why a journalist wouldn't delve a little deeper into the topic to expose other possible motives — especially when much of the work has been done already. Once again it's left up to the people. I urge all of you to visit cense.org to educate yourselves about what is about to happen to our cities.

Lawmakers get donations from opponents
T
he votes are counted, but contributions continue flowing to participants in this year’s election. Tens of thousands of dollars in political donations have been reported to the state Public Disclosure Commission ahead of next week’s deadline for candidates and party committees to reveal their receipts for November. Early filings show that victors are reaping some nice spoils, especially on the Republican side of the aisle. State Sen. Pam Roach, RAuburn, who won re-election by defeating a Republican state representative, collected JERRY nearly $10,000 from a fundCORNFIELD raiser in Olympia put on by a cadre of longtime lobbyists. And The Leadership Council, a fund controlled by the Senate Republican Caucus, had hauled in $127,550 through Monday. That will replenish a cache depleted by the spending of $3 million to defend incumbents and add a 25th member to secure the majority in the Senate. A similar scenario is unfolding in the House, where Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, RSnohomish, ran unopposed yet five donors delivered unsolicited checks adding up to $3,250. And the Reagan Fund, which Kristiansen and his fellow caucus leaders control, has garnered $47,500 since the election, in which Republicans gained10/16/14 four seats inPM the Page House. 276469_4.75_x_6 5:09 1
One reason some lawmakers — not all — are out asking for money is that the rising cost of campaigns creates an insatiable need for it. Also, state law bans lawmakers and statewide officials like the governor from political fundraising within 30 days of a legislative session. That’s inspired many to get what they can through solicitation letters and fundraisers before the freeze sets in Dec. 12. Why individuals and interest groups respond with post-election contributions is the other side of the equation. Sometimes it’s as simple as a longtime supporter wanting to donate one more time, like a congratulatory pat on the back. More often, if the donor is an active participant in politics and intends to walk the hallways of the Capitol during the upcoming session, it is prudent to acknowledge a lawmaker’s electoral success with a contribution. Consider the action of Stand for Children in Washington, an influential voice in the state’s education reform movement. The group gave $950 to Roach on Nov. 21, even though it endorsed her opponent in the election. If the group did not want to see her win this time, why would it provide funds it knows will go to help jump-start her next campaign? “Sen. Roach invited us to a post-election fundraiser, and we participated since she has been aligned with us most of the time over the years,” policy director Dave Powell wrote in an email.

The organization gave $20,000 to the Leadership Council in mid-October and $10,000 to the Reagan Fund on Nov. 21, its only contributions to the GOP committees this cycle. By comparison, it gave $162,500 to Democratic counterparts in the House and Senate. “We have over the years given financial support to all four caucuses as part of our ongoing efforts to build relationships with legislators of both parties and to advocate for quality supports and services for older adults and people with disabilities,” spokesman Jackson Holtz explained in an email. Corporations and business associations are doing it, too. Alaska Airlines, for example, wrote its first check to the Reagan Fund after the election, and it was for $10,000. Farmers Insurance Group has written two checks, totaling $80,000, to the Leadership Council. So while the season of giving to politicians might be drawing to an end, there seem to be plenty of people — and companies — hoping to receive something in return soon.

Searching for the perfect gift
A
s I exited the library, the display of cookbooks, each with “chocolate” in its title, stopped me cold. I’d been struggling to think of Christmas gifts I could make. The books provided me an instant answer. This year I would make truffles. I checked out two over-sized books with beautifully photographed chocolate desserts on their covers. I started my explorations with the book that had “couture” in its title. Among the truffle choices? Mostly names I couldn’t pronounce: matcha and pistachio, malt whiskey ANN OXRIEDER and dacquoise, sake and kinako, cassis and hibiscus. The recipes called for ingredients I’d never heard of — invert sugar and Neige Decor — and baking tools and supplies, such as silicone baking paper, a pastry bag, palette knife, and a dipping fork, I didn’t own. Did I mention that half my kitchen tools are 42-year-old wedding gifts? I preferred to start with familiar ingredients and names I knew, so I turned to the second book. This featured “raw cacao superfood” truffles in a recipe that called for three tablespoons of lucuma. Others required ingredients I recognized — ancho
chili powder, curry powder, garam masala and cardamom pods — but I didn’t want these flavors to interfere with the unrivaled taste of pure, dark chocolate. In desperation I set the books aside and checked online, where I found a recipe with five easy-to-pronounce ingredients I could pick up at the grocery store. The recipe required two bowls, a wooden spoon, measuring spoons, cups and a saucepan. Prep and finishing time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: five minutes: Cooling time: three hours. Results: delicious dark chocolate truffles smothered in cocoa powder. I tested my creations out as possible Christmas gifts by taking a few to friends to sample. If they liked the samples, I would wrap and deliver larger quantities later. As I expected, my simple dark chocolate truffles were a big hit. My friends so enjoyed them that they immediately asked for the recipe, so they could make them for the holidays. I’m thumbing through the chocolate cookbooks again, searching for the perfect homemade Christmas gift. Mendiants, chocolate olive oil glazes, Nesselrode pie anyone?

identified PSE’s Energize Eastside proposal as the “greatest threat to neighborhood character.” When asked what defined neighborhood character, their top answer was our “natural environment: trees, open space, natural beauty, views.” I’ve lived in Bellevue for more than 30 years and have witnessed its amazing growth firsthand. Many neighborhoods were forward-thinking by investing in underground utilities, an effort that created the “City in a Park” feeling that characterizes our beautiful city. Enter PSE, now a foreign, investorowned utility that is lobbying state and local representatives with campaign funding contributions and waging an expensive PR campaign to erect monstrous transmission poles and wires with little to no oversight from our local, state or federal governments. An early example of neighborhood blighting is about to happen in the Overlake area. New PSE 100-foot poles and wires will be appearing on Northeast 24th Street and 156 Avenue Northeast. Next, PSE has plans for 80-foot poles along Northeast Eighth Street and along 148th Avenue. This area currently has all underground utilities. After that is PSE’s Energize Eastside — nine miles of up to 135-foot poles with 230 kV lines strung across our city skyline. Where will it end? In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, 19th century energy solutions are bad choices. I hope Bellevue City Council members and staff listen to the leaders who know our neighborhoods best.

readily make their data available. However, PSE does not. The Sierra Club said it best: “PSE selectively withheld, obfuscated, or failed to produce underlying data … PSE presented the results as a ‘black-box’ analysis without providing an opportunity for the public to verify or refute the methodology or results … As a result, the public must accept, without the ability to verify, that PSE’s assumptions are valid and that PSE executed its analysis properly. PSE’s IRP results must therefore be viewed cautiously. Without public transparency, PSE’s results and conclusions run the risk of being self-serving justifications for the preexisting internal business plans of the company…” PSE’s “black box” forecasted electricity demand raises numerous questions. City staff and the independent consultant must dig deep in order to solve the right problem. Let’s identify the true root cause of our alleged electricity needs, not chase red herrings or just address symptoms. Only then can we agree on what a successful solution will look like.

The city of Bellevue has tapped Impact Hub Seattle LLC to lead its economic strategy of growing entrepreneurial success here, entering into a two-year agreement this week to repurpose the Lincoln Center as a startup incubator. Making use of the property, slated for demolition in 2017 to make way for Sound Transit’s East Link light rail extension, the city and Impact Hub will now renovate the property to create an environment to attract and grow business startups. “Our goal is hundreds,” said John Sechrest, co-managing director for Impact Hub Bellevue. “There’s 700 people that are members of Impact Seattle, and we certainly believe there’s demand like that in Bellevue.” A temporary-use agreement allowed Impact to begin moving over several of its Kirkland hub members prior to the city council’s approval of the lease on Monday.

“It’s so great what these ladies do,” Walde said. “We always have more cats than dogs and these blankets are a great comfort to them when they get here.” To date, the women have made more than 50 of the small blankets, now scattered throughout the cat’s rooms. Nicholls and Martin, both said they started their outfit out of their love for pets. “I thought it would help adopt them,” Nicholls said. “I thought it would help settle them and they’d be happier.” Using donated yarn, the two women either knit or crochet small, “fairly simple” patterns and end up with a roughly one foot by one foot blanket, she said. “My husband watches politics and I’m bored to tears so I knit,” Nicholls said. “There’s no certain pattern to them, just straight rows with some nice colors.” According to Walde, the blankets come at an ideal time. For all of December adoption fees for cats at least one-year-old are waived. And with animals

Sammamish High brings the hills alive with ‘Sound of Music’ BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER
What to do about a problem like renovation? That’s the question Sammamish High School theater teacher Melissa Deutsch wrestled with this fall when deciding what musical the school was going to perform. A large portion of Sammamish High School is still under construction as part of a large remodel, leaving the teacher to find an alternate space to host the play. Newport High School agreed to loan out its theater, but Deutsch was left to ask what show would work best with limited set construction? After a brief conversation with choir and jazz director Carol Whitworth, the choice was simple: Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music.” Deutsch said she knew she had the talent pool to draw from and it also happens to be Whitworth’s favorite musical. Deutsch joked if they ever needed an understudy Whitworth, who resembles Julie Andrews, could always step in and play Maria, the lead. “We always think about the pool of students we’ll have to draw on during auditions,” Whitworth said. “We had lots of strong lyric female singers so we knew we could put on a great show.” The majority of the show’s success will sit
JOSH STILTS, Bellevue Reporter
Sammamish High School’s production of ‘Sound of Music’ continues 7:30 p.m., tonight at the Newport Performing Arts Center with another show Saturday, Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. on the shoulders of 17-year-old senior Alicia Murowchick, who plays Maria, a nun in training who isn’t quite sure of her future. Murowchick, a seasoned actress and singer, said she identifies with her character on numerous levels, making the role easier to play.
“We’re both light-hearted and we love to sing,” she said. “She’s kind of awkward and likes to laugh a lot. I’m the same.” In the runup to World War II, Maria is faced with the biggest decision of her life, should she or shouldn’t she continue her life as a nun? When the Mother Abbess tells
her to take some time to figure out what she wants to do, Maria ends up taking a job as governess to the seven children of widower Captain von Trapp, played by Matthew Hervey. Hervey said the hardest thing about playing the captain is maintaining his serious demeanor, which is very unlike the bubbly 16-year-old sophomore. “I’m pretty goofy,” he said. “My character has a strong opinion of himself and that carries throughout the show. Toward the end of the show I’m more loving to my children and Maria. That’s a lot more like me.” Both actors said they’ve studied the iconic portrayals of their characters in the 1965 Academy Award-winning film and both Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. “I just stay focused on what other people’s portrayal’s have been instead of what I would do,” Hervey said. “It’s all about how the captain would act.” Like the play, Murowchick’s focus is on what she can control. “You are the baker of your own muffin,” she said. The show’s three-night run at the Newport Performing Arts Center began Dec. 4 and continues today at 7:30 p.m. and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $8 for students to $10 for adults.

Inslee, Rev. Jackson show support of STEM at summit When the Rev. Jesse Jackson stepped up to the podium, people leaned forward in their chairs and listened intently to his thoughts about education. As he locked eyes with more than 320 educators and business leaders at Tuesday's third annual Washington STEM Summit 2014 at the Microsoft Conference Center, the civil rights leader recalled one of his grade-school teachers believing in her students during a rigorous math lesson. "You must never teach down to our children and have low expectations of them," Jackson — an unannounced guest at the summit — told the crowd during the morning group session. "There's nothing that you cannot learn given the opportunity. Tell (your students) over and over again that deep water does not drown you — you drown when you stop kicking, you drown when you give up, you drown when you surrender." Jackson was in Seattle to discuss the need for high-tech companies to employ women and minorities and added another stop to his visit by joining Gov. Jay Inslee at the summit in Redmond. Prior to Jackson's speech, Inslee addressed the crowd about improving students' involvement in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. "(Jackson) and I both support the need for more women and more children of color to enter into STEM fields. In a state as diverse as Washington, our STEM workforce has got to be as diverse, as well," Inslee said of one of his

postsecondary education would create 8,000 STEM jobs that would generate $4.5 billion. "About the best thing we can do in our state right now is to develop innovative talent," Inslee said. Jackson echoed Inslee's speech and addressed Washington's STEM situation with words that could apply to any scenario: "We've seen that inclusion leads to growth, and with growth, everybody wins.

The Wolverines, who are playing for their 12th state championship in the past 14 years, are facing a familiar foe with everything on the line. In 2013, Bellevue defeated Eastside Catholic 52-20 in the state championship game. Eastside Catholic and Bellevue are separated by a mere 15 miles, but play in different leagues. Bellevue dominates the Class 3A KingCo Division while Eastside Catholic is powerful in the Metro Mountain Division. Before the 2014 regular season kicked off, Eastside Catholic head coach SHAUN Jeremy Theilbahr said his team’s primary SCOTT focus was to find a way to defeat the Wolverines. “Getting over the hump against Bellevue is a monumental task and that’s the challenge for us,” Theilbahr said during an August practice session. “Our mission is to win a state championship.” They will have their chance against a Bellevue team that has won 67 straight games and is coming off a hard-fought 20-10 win against the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks. Bellevue quarterback Justus Rogers, who rumbled for 93 yards

Bellevue to face Eastside Catholic in the Class 3A state championship BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Wolverines offensive lineman Henry Roberts' dreams became a reality. The Wolverines had blown out the vast majority of their opponents throughout the 2014 season but that all changed as the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks and Wolverines were tied 10-10 after three quarters of play in the Class 3A semifinals. "We don't really get a lot of competition so when it was 10-10 I was excited. I go to bed and I dream of games like this. That's probably the most fun I have had all year," Roberts said. "I'm just thankful they came in and brought their best. It was a great game." The Wolverines weren't fazed by the hard charging Tomahawks and took the lead for

Newport senior gridiron star the definition of a team player BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Some football players are locked into a specific position for the duration of their football careers. This couldn't be further from the truth for Newport Knights senior Mannie BEYOND THE Davis. Davis, who has played three different positions during the 2014 season, thrives on helping his team in a myriad of ways. "I play all over the field. I started off the season at corner, switched to defensive end and then ended up at strong safety. I'm an
ATHLETE
athlete and just play wherever my team needs me. I'm going to do my job and try to execute the best I can. I want to be able to help the team out in any way shape or form," Davis said. The Knights finished the 2014 season with a 10-3 overall record. Newport lost 3719 to the Bothell Cougars in the Class 3A semifinals on Nov. 29 at the Tacoma Dome. Davis had three tackles for a loss and one sack in the season finale against Bothell. Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Davis a few questions about his life away from the football field. Bellevue Reporter: Who was your idol growing up?

We know how to win and we know what we have to do this upcoming week and that is have a great week of practice,” Rogers said following win against the Tomahawks. Wolverines’ offensive lineman Henry Roberts said they don’t want to let the Bellevue Wolverines football family down. The tradition of success is always on their minds each time they step onto the field.

the radar, but he is the engine for our offense," Rogers said of Richmond. Roberts counts Richmond as one of his best friends. "He (Richmond) just played his butt off. I will do anything for that kid," Roberts said. The Wolverines struggled containing Tomahawks' running back Austin Joyner. Joyner had 16 carries for 90 yards and was consistently breaking tackles with his bruising running style. The Tomahawks had all the momentum when Drew Hatch hauled in a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Erik
“It’s about our tradition and coming out here and trying to get better every day. We’re always thinking about the people that have played in the past for Bellevue. It’s not about what people on the outside think of us, it’s more about the people who have played for Bellevue and the standard that we’re held to because of them,” Roberts said during an October practice session. A champion will be crowned on the Eastside tonight. Pure joy and jubilation will be on display in either Bellevue or Sammamish. I can’t wait to see this showdown between King County juggernauts.

Lind, tying the game at 10-10 with three minutes left in the third quarter. Roberts said the Wolverines wore down the Tomahawks down the stretch. "They came out and smacked us in the mouth. Those guys came off the ball and played hard all game long. Toward the end of the game we got it clicking and just kind of wore them down," he said. "They
have eight guys going both ways (playing both offense and defense). We knew we could move the ball five yards at a time." Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff was glad to see his team come out victories against a tough Marysville-Pilchuck team. "Justus Rogers showed up big as did the rest of the guys. We had to grind this one out," Goncharoff said.
"It was one of those types of games that you expect in the semis. Life goes on and we're moving on (state title game)." The Wolverines will face the Eastside Catholic Crusaders today at 7:30 p.m. in the Class 3A state championship at the Tacoma Dome. "It will be a battle. We're excited to play them," Goncharoff said.

first half, giving the Cougars a 20-13 lead at halftime. Newport responded when Day scored on a 26-yard touchdown run, cutting Bothell's lead to 20-19 on its first offensive drive of the third quarter. The Knights never scored again. Bothell outscored Newport 17-0 in the final 19 minutes of the game to seal the victory. Newport had five turnovers (four lost fumbles, one interception) in the game, which Bothell turned into 24 points. Keithley said turnovers were undoubtedly the difference in the game. "We gave Bothell a run for their money," Keithley said. "We shot ourselves in the foot with the four turnovers or whatever it was, but never once in the game were we hanging our heads. We just kept fighting to the end. I couldn't be more proud of
these guys. We didn't get to the state championship or win tonight, but we made it to the Tacoma Dome." The Knights potent rushing attack had 280 rushing yards in the loss to Bothell. Paul Wells had 23 carries for a team-high 130 yards on the ground. Newport head coach Drew Oliver said he was extremely proud of his football team for their effort against the undefeated Cougars. "Our guys have got nothing to hang their heads about. Going into the game, we talked about the pain of regret and that we didn't want to feel any regret. There is absolutely none from tonight. Our guys left everything they had out on that field," Oliver said.

Bothell bolted out to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, but Newport wouldn't go away quietly. Nick Keithley scored on a 1-yard plunge up the middle cutting Bothell's lead to 13-7 with 8:26 left in the second quarter. The Knights tied the game at 13-13 on Thomas Day's 6-yard touchdown run with 7:31 remaining in the second quarter.

of technology by having its first- and second-grade students use computers, touch screens and tablets in the classroom. With Microsoft right around the corner, a partnership between the tech company and the school seemed a likely fit. Each student in each class, from third grade through eighth, was equipped with a new Surface Pro 3 tablet. As the staff and children got more comfortable using the operating system a partnership was formed between the school and the tech company and a new application was built. OneNote Class Notebook creator is a new Microsoft app that allows teachers to create an individual, online workspace for each of their students.

far their fellow classmates are. If the students are working in a group, the application allows each member of the group the ability to edit and add to the project. “Thirty years ago teaching was all workbooks with very little interactive learning. Once computers came around there was typically only one or two for an entire class to use so it was difficult to get through everyone,” she said. “Now when they work in groups they can see what their peers have done and then turn around and talk with them.” Sebastian Alfonso, 13, an eighthgrade student, said one of the biggest improvements he’s seen since using the program is the ability to look at changes made to his papers from his first draft to final copy. “It allows us to see all the information from one draft to the next,” he said. “We can look and get real time feedback too.” His classmate, Kama Boswell, also 13, said the tablet and program helped her most in Spanish class. “I’m able to record my voice in Spanish and my teacher can hear my pronunciation and tell me if I’m saying it right,” Boswell said.

themselves up to it.” There were 223 vehicle thefts reported from January through September of this year, compared with 248 for all of 2013. Jensen said these vehicles are not going to chop shops, rather they’re being used as easily accessible modes of transportation. “More often than not, they’re not high-end cars that are stolen,” she said. “Typically, they’re used just as commuters for bad guys.” Jensen added it’s not uncommon to recover a vehicle stolen from Bellevue in another city around the same time a vehicle is reported stolen in that community. She said the spike in larceny cases — 2,704 over the first nine months of 2014, compared to 3,013 for all of 2013 — can be partly explained by increases in mail thefts. “Mail theft is a gateway to identity theft,” Jensen said. “We’ve seen a real increase in people stealing mail from neighborhoods.” The Bellevue Police Department is warning residents again this year about the seasonal spike in package thefts, due in part to many people buying gifts online and criminals taking advantage of delivery times. Unfortunately, Jensen said, Bellevue is no longer a bedroom community, and criminals are going to continue to come here, as long as the opportunity to commit simple crimes exists. Her job is to help residents deter criminals by making sure the required effort is no longer worth the risk. Residential car prowls and mail thefts affect entire neighborhoods, Jensen said, and should addressed by the entire neighborhood through community watch groups, which keep vigilant watch for suspicious

Medina issues alert to parents
Medina police are alerting residents that a child walking to Medina Elementary on Dec. 2 was stopped by a Hispanic female driving a white minivan near the 8300 block of Northeast Eighth Street. The woman offered the child a ride to school but the child refused not knowing who the woman was, and the woman immediately drove away. While at this point there is no evidence of any criminal intent, police say it is always concerning when an incident like this is reported and it doesn’t have any additional information. Those who have heard of any similar incidents are asked to call 911.

people and activity. Security cameras significantly improve officers’ ability to investigate car prowls, but Jensen said more apartment complexes in Bellevue need them; those without cameras tend to be targeted more than those that do. “A lot of places still don’t have cameras,” she said. “It’s surprising when you go to a lot of places.” Lockable mailboxes are recommended, but criminals often can still find a way to get in, she added. Jensen recommends residents “take a clue from the past,” getting to know their mail carrier and delivery schedule. As for busy holiday shoppers this time of year, Jensen discourages people from taking items to their cars and then leaving them inside while they continue to shop; criminals often stakeout store parking lots.
opportunities and challenges. Lincoln Center was constructed in 1975. While the investment may seem great for a building that will only remain standing for the next two years, Sechrest said Impact is committed to Bellevue for the long term, and plans to pursue a more permanent facility ahead of demolition of Lincoln Center’s north building. Impact looked at more than 50 properties for an Eastside hub, but chose Bellevue

Repurposing the Lincoln Center for Impact Hub Bellevue will be accomplished in three phases, the shared 2,222-square-foot event space being first and optimistically slated for completion by the end of January, Sechrest said.

They are starting a company that specializes in security vulnerability testing. “We like the overall setting and being able to have connections to other startups and people, and being able to help each other,” Bounev said.

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.
