The Bellevue-based Ellison Foundation has made the largest donation for Alzheimer’s

disease research and treatment development in the University of Washington’s history, putting its research center $6 million closer to its $20 million goal. The donation is particularly sig-

nificant to foundation cofounder Tom Ellison, whose grandmother, father and later his uncle died from Alzheimer’s. The Ellison Foundation gave UW $5 million last year for stem cell research. SEE FOUNDATION, 4

The Bellevue Police Department is investigating the death of a woman whose body was found by firefighters in an Avalon Meydenbauer apartment unit Tuesday night as a homicide. Police report firefighters responded to an active sprinkler alarm at the Avalon Meydenbauer on the 10400 block of Northeast Second Street at 9:19 p.m. Tuesday night, evacuating the building. Firefighters found water damage in a fifth-floor unit, leading them to the sixth-floor unit above where the alarm originated. Inside, firefighters found a small fire and the body of a deceased woman, according to a BPD news release. Firefighters contacted police, who responded and determined the woman had injuries “consistent with homicidal violence,” according to the release. Bellevue detectives and arson investigators with the Bellevue Fire Department were on scene all Tuesday night and most of Wednesday. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office reported it would not be releasing any information regarding the homicide victim before the Reporter’s press deadline. More information will be provided online at bellevuereporter.com.

Slated for demolition, Old Bellevue’s historic Philbrook House may be granted a reprieve if Nils Dickmann can gather city council support. The Philbrook House is a Victoria-era home built in the 1890s at 10133 Main Street that has been repurposed over the past 120 years and is listed on the city’s historic resources inventory. It began as a farmhouse and then a residence

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Almost two years after Spiritwood residents first advocated removing dormitory-style rentals in singlefamily neighborhoods like theirs, the city council is poised to adopt a permanent ordinance that would make residences with up to four unrelated tenants exist as a family-style unit under one lease. Spiritwood residents became concerned in May 2013 about a number of houses being purchased and renovated by investors into multi-room rentals, increasing traffic and decreasing their sense of neighborly community.

Protecting your garage Protecting garage just gotyour easier

just got easier

An emergency ordinance was enacted three months later, and has been in effect through a number of extensions ever since. Planning Commission Chairman Aaron Laing laid out what “tweaking” was done for the final ordinance being recommended to city council on Monday. He said community feedback was important, with residents expressing a desire for “neighborly accountability” that was not being met by the multiple tenants living under separate leases together in single-family neighborhoods. To be fair, Laing said, as well as requiring up to four unrelated tenants in

a house zoned for singlefamily residences to share one lease, the planning commission recommends being able to verify the tenants are operating as a “single housekeeping unit” and as a family-style unit; examples include sharing the entire home unit, food and utility costs, furniture and appliance ownership and being able to prove the living arrangement is not temporary. Under the proposed ordinance, which the council will vote on April 6, homeowners may continue to operate a bed and breakfast with a two-room maximum as long as they acquire a home occupation permit that clarifies the residence is owner-occupied.

The Philbrook House was built in the 1890s and is the oldest structure in Old Bellevue.

PHILBROOK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

James Fine Diamonds owners proposed leveling the Philbrook House to make way for a two-story, 1,600-square-foot office building behind their shop on Main Street. When no one came forward last year, it was assumed the house was not long for this world. Then Dickmann, an international lumber broker who grew up in Bellevue, found out about the demolition plans and decided to take action. “It actually has quite an illustrious history, which is interesting,” he said. “The biggest problem is actually where to put it.” Dickmann said he has received a $2,500 commitment from Gordon James to remove the building from its property, and a quote from a contractor for around $3,000-$4,000 to do so. He also has started a GoFundMe page (http://www.gofundme. com/pqwxj4) with a $30,000 goal to cover future maintenance costs, should he find a relocation site for the Philbrook House. Gordon James Raine was unavailable for comment, but a diamond store associate told the Reporter Tuesday the company wants to support Dickmann’s effort as much as it can. Dickmann said he wants to see the Philbrook House relocated to a more wooded portion of Wildwood Park, a short distance south from where it sits now, and plans to approach the city council this month with his proposal. He added James Gordon wants to have the home removed by May, so construction of the new office building can start.

“Staff has communicated with Mr. Dickmann on a number of occasions regarding his desire to preserve the Philbrook House,” according to Bellevue Parks spokeswoman Robin Haaseth in an email. “He has suggested several alternative locations throughout the city, including a Bellevue park. We haven’t been able to meet his needs on the timeline he’s looking for. We understand that he has launched a fundraising effort to help preserve a piece of Bellevue’s history and we hope that he can find a way to do that.” Eastside Heritage Center Executive Director Heather Trescases said the nonprofit’s board has approved drafting a letter of support for relocating the Philbrook House, but is awaiting a vote from its executive committee as to what level. “We would certainly encourage the city to be as proactive as possible,” said Chris Moore, executive director for the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. “It’s challenging for cities to be the only solution at the 11th hour of a crisis.” Moore said he didn’t realize there was such a historic structure in downtown Bellevue until speaking with Dickmann, the two having collaborated in the past to preserve another home on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. While relocating the house to a city park would be ideal, Moore said Dickmann may have better luck convincing the city to allow the Philbrook to be set aside at a facility or undeveloped property until a more permanent solution is found. “It would be great to see the Philbrook House preserved,” he said. “There’s not much like this in Bellevue anymore, let alone downtown.”

Manning allegedly lied about other officer’s training attendance BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

NOTE: The Bellevue Police Department made its investigation into former Lt. John Manning available on March 27, following a public records request that was delayed due to the former lieutenant appealing its release in King County Superior Court. The Bellevue Police Department released late last week its 518-page investigative report into allegations a former lieutenant lied about a fellow officer’s training record and made

Meeting McCleary | A tale of many budgets Lawmakers stretch to make ends meet for schools, ignore $4.7 districts throughout the state, said the this biennium and in doing so would billion for I-1531 governor’s education budget fell short overwhelm those schools with too many new teachers they would need to hire. Instead, Hunter recommends a statewide class-size reduction in grades K-3, rather than a sudden reduction in class size only for lowincome school districts. “We need to phase in spending in a way that let’s people hire teachers gradually so you don’t wind up with a school having a huge number of new teachers at once,” he said. Hill, who leads the Senate Ways and Means Committee, agrees that the governor’s education budget phases in reforms too fast. “I would argue that funding everything today this year is a huge shock to the state budget and the school districts because they would have to hire more teachers and put in new classrooms,” he said. “That’s a good reason why you would phase this in over the next three years.” Hill says it’s difficult to pinpoint a dollar amount needed to comply with the McCleary mandate because the number fluctuates depending on the interest group you talk to and programs included in the calculation.

A political thriller debuted March 23rd at Olympia’s marble palladium when the Legislature’s leading producers-directors—Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, and Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina—took the stage to introduce their awaited and unreviewed drama they claim will keep their fellow political thespians out of jail and solve the constitutional quandary hovering over them: full funding for basic K-12 education. The Washington State Supreme Court is holding those political actors accountable for a solution to its mandate issued last fall in the wake of unyielding inaction by the legislative body: fund education or be sentenced for contempt. Hunter, who serves as House Appropriations Committee chairman, said the Legislature has to fund education in a way that eliminates the state’s dependence on local levies for basic education costs. “We have about a $2.5 billion obligation and I think we should fund it in equal annual increments,” Hunter said. “While the governor’s budget is clever, it’s not a good strategy for implementation on the ground.” Gov. Jay Inslee rolled out his budget for the 2015-2017 biennium last December, including a $3.6 billion education package, where he dedicates $1.3 billion for class-size reduction in K-3 Clothing & things made from bamboo and all-day kindergarten.

of addressing class-size reductions in kindergarten through 12th grades and didn’t provide adequate compensation to attract and keep educators. “Until the state begins to reduce class size, our class sizes are still going to be 47th in the nation,” he said. “Until the Legislature begins to seriously address the need for competitive professional compensation, our teachers’ pay is still going to be 42nd in the country.” Randy Dorn, superintendent of Public Instruction for Washington State, says he expects the House budget to address what the governor’s budget didn’t fully address, specifically statewide compensation for all employees. Dorn says the state cannot continue to rely on local levies to fund teachers’ salaries because levies are not uniform statewide and the courts have ruled in McCleary that levies are an unconstitutional way of funding basic education. School boards are authorized to request local school funds through maintenance and operation levies for up to 36 percent of the total of districts’ state and federal revenues.

Obamacare works here By King County Executive Dow Constantine and Susan Johnson, U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services

ince President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law five years ago, Washingtonians have sent a powerful message: The Affordable Care Act is working, and the quality health care coverage choices offered on Washington Healthplanfinder are what consumers need, want and like. They have also made it clear they don’t want this coverage taken away. Thanks to what’s commonly known as Obamacare, more than 160,000 Washingtonians have been able to buy affordable health care through the Washington Healthplanfinder — 3 out of 4 of them through the plan’s financial assistance. In King County we’ve cut the percentage of adults without health insurance by nearly half. The law achieved these results in three stages. First, everyone in this state received the security and peace of mind of knowing they could not be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. Second, we changed the rules so that young people can stay on their parents’ insurance plans until they turn 26. And third, we created new access to insurance by expanding Medicaid for low-income adults and creating an affordable insurance option, the “health exchange” known as Washington Healthplanfinder. In King County, our “all hands on deck” approach lifted the barriers of geography, race and language to enroll more than 200,000 people in either health insurance or Medicaid. Our countywide effort was praised by the White House as an effective and innovative approach that should be replicated across the nation. All told, nearly 1.8 million people in Washington state now no longer need to choose between getting a checkup or paying a bill, or fear that a devastating accident could plunge them into debt or bankruptcy. These are a mom whose cancerous lump is found in time to intervene; a dad who can afford the prescription to keep his blood pressure SEE OBAMACARE, 19

Letters to the editor Post Office is a ’disgrace’

I was interested in the story about the Bellevue Post Office’s possible move to another location. I frequently walk to the post office to buy stamps or to mail a package. I am an elderly lady who finds it difficult to walk in the parking lot there. I am very surprised that the City of Bellevue has not required the Post Office to repair the potholes and other breakages in the parking lot. Maybe they will wait until someone falls and is injured there. Then, of course, there will be a lawsuit. Not only is the parking lot dangerous, but it is also a disgrace to have such a place in downtown Bellevue.

No confidence in student assessment tests

I have no confidence that the Smarter Balanced Assessments will be a valid measure of student knowledge in our state. Recently, I explored several of the practice tests and scoring guides. I discovered that this is not merely a harder test. This is a harder test with a poorly designed user interface, non-intuitive tools, heavily nuanced language, subjective answers, and glaring inconsistencies. The ambiguity of some questions will force students to second-guess, and to make assumptions. And for struggling students, this test will fail to reflect valuable incremental growth. I am calling for parents and educators to meet this pivotal change with eyes open, understanding that this baseline is arbitrary until proven otherwise. Look

Burger King stabber gets 21 1/2 years for murdering fellow transient Padilla stabbed sleeping man to death inside restaurant STAFF REPORT BELLEVUE REPORTER

A 38-year-old homeless man who stabbed another transient to death inside a Bellevue Burger King last summer was sentenced to 21 1/2 years in prison on Tuesday, March 31. Steven O. Padilla approached 65-yearold Jose L. Arias while he was sleeping inside the Burger King on Northeast 24th

Street and stabbed him multiple times in the upper torso around 3:15 p.m. Aug. 17. Witnesses said Padilla exited the fast-food restaurant restroom and removed a knife from his jacket pocket, reaching over a partition to stab Arias. The victim staggered out of the restaurant and collapsed in the parking lot, where he was declared dead at the scene. Padilla fled the scene, but was arrested 1 1/2 miles away. An Everett Police K-9 unit led police to an office complex on the 14300 block of Northeast 24th Street, where a large, fixed-blade knife believed to have been the murder weapon was recovered.

Pet canvassing starts Saturday

Canvassers with King County Animal Services will start making the rounds in Bellevue to educate residents about a requirement that all cats and dogs eight weeks and older be licensed and ensure compliance. Bellevue contracts with King County for animal services, which is paid for through pet licensing. No one found without a licensed pet will be cited during canvassing, which is expected to last through October, but 30-day temporary licenses will be issued. Licenses may be purchased at Bellevue City Hall, the Crossroads mini-City Hall, Aerowood Animal Hospital and all QFC stores. Licenses can be purchased online at kingcounty.gov/pets. Pet licensing allows owners to be reunited with lost animals, earns lost pets a free ride home when found and funds shelter care, dangerous and nuisance animal responses and investigating cases of reported animal cruelty or neglect.

Divide grows over student testing

BY JERRY CORNFIELD EVERETT HERALD

Tension between the state House and Senate escalated Monday over a controversial bill that would require school districts to use student test scores in teacher evaluations. Several hundred people attended a hearing on the bill before the House Education Committee, after which the panel’s leader said it won’t advance before a midweek deadline to act on non-budget bills. “I don’t have any more meetings left before the policy cut-off date,” said Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos, D-Seattle, the veteran committee chairwoman. While that would seem to imply the bill is dead, the bill’s Republican sponsor vowed to keep it alive. Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, said he will add the bill’s key provisions to a different bill in the Senate. “Obviously the chairwoman of the House committee did not feel the bill was ready to be voted on,” said Litzow, who is chair of the Senate education committee. “We’re providing an opportunity for the whole House to consider regaining the waiver.” Monday’s twist and turn reflects the divide among lawmakers over how to respond to the state’s loss in 2014 of its waiver of the federal No Child Left Behind law. Washington is the only state to

be a major cause of disparity in education standards and programs, Dorn cited. Many school districts rely on levies as a funding source for basic-education programs, so this difference in levy percentages affects the amount of state and federal funding a school will get and as a result the programs the school district can provide. Ben Rarick, executive director at the State Board of Education, says both the House and Senate budgets need to create a plan that addresses the use of local levies in basic-education funding. “The governor’s budget was relatively silent on that issue and it strikes me that the significance of local levies in our current system is one of the major issues at

lose the waiver. That meant the state and 297 public school districts couldn’t spend about $40 million in federal money on struggling students the way they wanted. It also meant that 1,916 schools across the state were deemed as failing by the U.S. Department of Education, and letters had to be sent to parents explaining why. Federal education officials have made clear that the state will only get its waiver back once it changes how teachers are evaluated, requiring that test scores be included. Under Senate Bill 5748, student scores on standardized tests would be part of the teacher evaluation process starting with the 2017-18 school year. Districts and teachers unions could negotiate how big or small a factor those scores would be in performance reviews. At Monday’s hearing, 362 people signed up to testify, of whom only 18 supported the bill, Santos said. Only a handful got to speak due to time constraints, though Santos made sure supporters and opponents received equal time to make their case. Amy Nofziger-Meadows, a math teacher and president of the Edmonds Education Association, was one of several Snohomish County educators who spoke against the bill. “Teachers are willing to be evaluated

play in the lawsuit,” he said, reflecting on the Supreme Court’s McCleary mandate. In addition to the state’s K-12 education funding conundrum, Initiative 1351, which voters approved last November, requires classsize reduction through 12th grade. This is another issue the Legislature must address, but so far has ignored. The Office of Financial Management estimates I-1351 would cost the state $4.7 billion through fiscal year 2019 and an additional $1.9 billion each year thereafter. Local school districts also face a financial burden under the initiative especially since they would need to create more teaching space and hire more teachers.

Potential Sanctions The state Supreme Court continues to play a dominant role in its McCleary

mandate. In September, the court found the Legislature in contempt for failing to make adequate progress in education funding and has postponed sanctions until the adjournment of the current legislative session this June. The court hasn’t said what sanctions it may impose if the Legislature fails to adopt a plan that fully funds its mandate. However many outside critics are confident something will be done—by the Legislature and the court. “The Court has been fairly patient with the Legislature,” said Andrew Siegel, constitutional law professor at Seattle University. “My guess is that the court will start in a gradual way, like imposing small fines on the state as an entity or ordering some state property that’s not being used to be sold.”

City’s Coal Creek Parkway improvements wins APWA’s Project of the Year award BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The city of Bellevue received the American Public Works Association — Washington State Chapter’s 2015 Project of the Year award in the environmental category on Thursday for the new bridge it constructed on Coal Creek Parkway that allowed for the removal of a small culvert that had been preventing migrating salmon from passing under the roadway. “What made the project so complex is that vital infrastructure under Coal Creek Parkway had to be relocated,” said Nav Otal, city utilities director, in a news release. “There were fiber optic cables, a 12-inch PSE gas line, and two large Olympic petroleum pipelines. “The bridge had to be built in two stages — one half at a time — to keep the road open and to safely move the pipelines. Our first priority at all times was safety.” Stairs and a pedestrian walkway were also constructed to run under the bridge, creating a connection to the Coal Creek trail; pedestrians and bicyclists had to cross over at Forest Drive and be rerouted back to the west side of the trail, though some risked running across the parkway. Connecting the trail had been consid-

Bellevue residents opposed to Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project asked city councilmembers Monday to put the brakes on an environmental impact statement process until a delayed independent study of the city’s future electrical needs is completed. City staff told the council in early March an independent analysis of future energy demands on the Eastside was expected to be completed by Utility Systems Efficiencies before the EIS process started — a 45-day scoping period beginning April 30 — but now expects the contractor’s report by late April or early May. City spokesman David Grant told the Reporter Wednesday USE received data from PSE in February, but needed more time to analyze it. USE is now tentatively slated to report its findings to the council on May 4. “We don’t want to rush the process, because it could affect the city’s ability to meet the desire of both the city council and stakeholder groups to have a good, thorough analysis of the Energize Eastside project,” he said. Members of the Coalitions of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy told the council Monday the USE report is

too important to the EIS process, which should be postponed until USE’s findings are known. “Taxpayers have invested $100,000 to get this independent report, and its conclusions are critical before hundreds of millions of our dollars are spent on a project that we suspect benefits PSE more than it benefits us,” said Don Marsh with CENSE to the council on Monday. Delaying the scoping period for the EIS process could affect the project timeline down the road, said Will Einstein, director of business services and economic development at PSE, adding large businesses in the energy company’s service area are depending on Energize Eastside as they continue to grow. “They want to see the process continue to move ahead,” Einstein said. David Hoffman for the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties also encouraged the city council to support starting the scoping process on April 30, saying his organization is concerned about being able to hook up power to new homes in the future. Grant said the city council will still be able to submit comments based on the USE report during the scoping period, which ends June 15. “The scheduling should not be an issue,” he said.

Options coming for transit-oriented development at East Main station BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The public will be asked to weigh in on four redevelopment alternatives being considered by the city of Bellevue for three properties within a half-mile radius of the future East Main Street light rail station later this month, the goal being a walkable, high-density gateway to Bellevue from Interstate 405. One of only a few station areas in Bellevue slated for transit-oriented development to coincide with Sound Transit’s East Link light rail extension, a vision for changes around the East Main station is being formed by a citizens advisory committee, which has been meeting since September. The transit-oriented development area is located south of Main Street on the east side of 112th Avenue Southeast. The three properties targeted for redevelopment opportunities along 112th Avenue are the Bellevue Club, Hilton Bellevue and Red Lion Hotel, recently acquired by Wig Properties. VIA Architecture urban planner Dan Bertolet on March 24 updated the East Main station CAC on four options for redevelopment of those properties — currently restrictive under an office and limited business zoning designation. The first option — keeping the area zoned OLB — would result

LIEUTENANT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

He told investigators he did his own informal investigation into Manning’s claims, but was “frustrated and annoyed” that the former lieutenant would not accept the results. He said Patricelli was upset when he told her about Manning’s claims and reaction, according to the report. “I got a bit resentful about the entire incident to be frank,” Johnson said, adding he felt Manning took advantage of their friendship and his rank, the report states.

in little, if any redevelopment, Bertolet said, due to major parking requirements for offices that would limit new construction. It also would prevent high-density development and walkable public spaces. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a “high bookend” option would maximize density, the drawback being the potential for buildings more than 200 feet in height close to a single-family neighborhood, Bertolet said. A hybrid option would have a more narrow focus on where tower buildings could be located and the intensity for such construction, while a midrise option would limit new buildings to going no higher than the height of the Hilton. While that eliminates concerns about shadows cast by high towers and privacy for neighbors below, fewer buildings would make it harder to accomplish the type of high-density development desired, Bertolet said. An open house to gauge the public’s reaction to the four redevelopment options is tentatively slated for 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 28 at city hall, Room 1E-120.

Red Lion Hotel Wig Properties owner Mon Wig told the CAC his company’s general course of action is to acquire a property, demolish what’s on-site and develop something new

The report includes a number of text messages between Manning and Johnson, where the deputy chief told the former lieutenant he had confirmed Patricelli had been in the classes she claimed on signup rosters, later asking Manning not to text him at that particular phone number. “Actually, a free beer or two would probably make me feel better about this,” Johnson texted Manning, according to images in the report. Manning told investigators he did not report his concerns about Patricelli’s attendance at training courses through the proper chain

and dynamic, however, the Bellevue Red Lion is an income-generating exception and will remain in operation for the time being. Wig said he envisions creating “a unique landmark that’s iconic in nature” on the 6.1acre property, should the CAC recommend — and the city council accept — land use changes in the East Main TOD area. “If we cannot redevelop it, we will just keep it,” Wig said. “You can be sure that we’ll do it right when we do it.” Wig Properties partner Leshya Wig said since the Red Lion site is most likely to be redeveloped first out of the three properties being assessed, whatever comes in must blend with the light rail station and include commercial uses that can survive outside of the central business district downtown.

of command because he did not consider it a policy violation at the time, according to the report, and had texted Johnson as a friend, later acknowledging he understood Johnson had a duty to respond to the allegations. Patricelli reported a history of conflicts with Manning that began in 2008, when he was her supervisor. Patricelli was upset by a poor evaluation from Manning, and provided him feedback about his performance as a police captain. She said his reaction made her cry. She reported Johnson promoted her to detective lieutenant in early 2013, telling her he was discour-

“It may be some time that it will have to be set apart from the others,” she said. Leshya Wig said her company wants land use changes that allow building heights of at least 200 feet and floor-area ratio of five, which would make more space for public amenities, such as plazas and wider sidewalks, as well as allow “more iconic” buildings to be constructed. Not all buildings would be 200 feet in height on the Red Lion site, added Arthur Chang of Freiheit and Ho Architects, who is working with Wig Properties. Some CAC members were confused by Wig’s request for unrestricted use of the site, which Mon Wig clarified would be for mixed-use development that could include office, medical, retail, residential, educational, daycare and hospitality.

aged from doing so by Manning, but the deputy chief would not corroborate the former lieutenant’s statements. “... there’s just been a number of times over the years where he’s expressed to me that he’s not a fan. He doesn’t like her; he doesn’t trust her; doesn’t understand why others do and just has never had any real good experiences with her,” Johnson said in a statement to investigators in the report. He said he conferred with Manning when considering Patricelli for a specialty position, and described how the former lieutenant discouraged it; he said she was

dramatic and disorganized and a bad fit for the position, according to Johnson’s statement to investigators. Manning was demoted by former Chief Linda Pillo in 2013 for having an extramarital affair with Capt. Autumn Fowler, who was also demoted to lieutenant as part of the chief ’s disciplinary actions. An anonymous police captain reported the relationship to the department and Manning’s wife. Police reported Manning and Fowler were demoted for not reporting the eight-month affair and due to department policy requiring officers to avoid conflicts of interest.

Aspirations of a state javelin championship

Wildcats give Knights first loss Newport suffers first setback on the soccer pitch in 2015

Newport senior Julia Sliwoski wants to leave a lasting legacy in her final season of high school track and field

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Attaining the top spot on the podium is something Newport Knights senior thrower Julia Sliwoski thinks about on a daily basis. Sliwoski, who captured sixth place in the Class 4A state meet in the javelin with a throw of 130 feet, 4 inches as a junior in 2014, is determined to have a breakthrough season this spring. Sliwoski earned an eighth place finish at the state meet in 2013 with a toss of 122 feet as a sophomore as well. “My ultimate goal is to win state this year. I want to be at around 150 SLIWOSKI (feet). The winner of the state meet in javelin usually throws at around 150 (feet),” Sliwoski said. “I want to make the most out of my senior year and leave my mark on the high school.” Sliwoski fell in love with the javelin as a fourth grader in 2006.

Newport defender Hunter Hahnemann dribbles the ball up the field while being chased by Mount Si’s Jake Turpin on March 27 at Newport High School in Factoria.

Mount Si goalie Bruce Corrie was the equivalent of a proverbial brick wall against the Newport Knights boys soccer team in a showdown between Class 4A KingCo programs. Newport, who unleashed a bevy of shots on goal, couldn’t get the ball past Corrie in Mount Si’s 3-0 victory against Newport on March 27 in Factoria. Mount Si players Connor Williams, Max Adamson and Nicholas Dolewski each scored a goal in the KingCo league opener for both squads.

Mount Si head coach Darren Brown said Corrie, who will play collegiate soccer for Western Illinois University in 2016, is the undisputed leader of the Wildcats and is a great player between the posts. The teams were evenly matched but Newport just couldn’t find the back of the net in their first loss of the 2015 season. “Bruce is a hell of a keeper,” Brown said. “He was a first team all-league player last year and is just an outstanding player.” Brown said the key play of the game was on Adamson’s goal in the 62nd minute of play, which gave Mount Si a commanding 2-0 lead with 18 minutes left in regulation. “It gave us a little breathing room that we needed,” Brown said. “We didn’t want to let up on the gas against Newport. They got off to a great 3-0-2 start and are a really good club. We came with a lot of enthusiasm

“I started out with the Cascade Striders track club. They had one of those days where you just try all of the events. I went over and tried javelin. The javelin coach there told me I was really good. I have been doing it ever since,” she said. Newport girls head coach Dave Davis said Sliwoski is a tireless worker who isn’t afraid to go the extra mile in pursuit of her aspirations. “Julia is always wanting to do more. She is always the first one

tonight and had a lot to prove. We wanted to get that first win in our first league game. That was important to us and we got that done. Hopefully the momentum continues.” Newport head coach Tommy Lakes said losing their first league game was frustrating but isn’t something they can’t recover from. The Knights have put together a 3-1-2 record through the first six games of the season. “We just have to have a five-second memory because that is the way high school soccer works. We need to move on quickly from this loss and start getting ready for our next game,” Lakes said. “This is kind of one of those early forks in the road where you can either start feeling sorry for yourself or you can use it as motivation to get back up and keep going. I think we will keep going.” Shaun Scott:

here and the last to leave,” Davis said. Sliwoski believes her technique is her best attribute in her favorite event in track and field. “I have been throwing the javelin ever since I was in the fourth grade so I have been able to build up my technique over the years. I have thrown against a lot of girls who were bigger and stronger than me but I can still throw it further than them because my technique and speed,” Sliwoski said. Davis concurred with Sliwoski’s sentiment. “She has been throwing for so long so there is not much to change there in terms of tech-

nique. This year we’re working a lot on improving her strength. Julia is a senior now and is much more physical than she has been before. She has gotten a lot stronger,” Davis said. “The key is that she is always trying to get better. She really wants to (win a state title). Every year she improves quite a bit. She has been on the podium three years in a row and every year she gets better.” Sliwoski, who also played on the varsity basketball team the past couple of years, said she was a regular in the weight room during the off-season. “I just wanted to build up my strength as much as I could in

order to be able to throw further,” Sliwoski said. “I really like the competition aspect of javelin. I have always been one of those people who hangs around and watches the other competitors throw to see how far I need to be throwing to beat them.” Sliwoski is a big fan of the gregarious personality Davis exhibits as the Knights head coach. “He knows what he is talking about. He threw javelin in college. He has a lot of good tips. There are times where he will tell me about one little thing wrong that I’m doing and once I make the correction, it has helped my throws out a lot,” she said.

of their house,” Searles said about why he chose Treehouse. “That’s why I wanted to help.” He planned to do it over four weekends spent outside stores in Issaquah and Bellevue soliciting donations and selling loom bands. But in one weekend at Fred Meyer in Issaquah, he collected $600 in cash donations and $500 in clothing — plus $300 online. “I was really surprised,” he said. Now the middle schooler — whose favorite subject is math and enjoys building his rock collection in his free time — has set a new goal of $5,000.

Searles estimated he had already far surpassed his 10-hour community service requirement, and that he would multiply the requirement many times over during the next three weekends. His mother, Melinda Lytle, said she wanted her son to know the value of working beyond the bare minimum. Lytle said Noah is seeking donations of toddler clothes, from 2T to 5T. Noah and his volunteers will be outside Nordstrom Rack in Factoria April 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. He will be outside Fred Meyer the same time on April 11 and April 12.

on student growth, but we should not be evalu-

“Some kids in my class don’t ever do their homework. It was not my teacher’s fault that the kids in my class don’t do their homework,” said the 9-yearold Pioneer Elementary student. “So if a kid in my class does not do good on the test, that does not mean my teacher is not a good teacher.” Supporters of the bill cited the importance of regaining control of how that $40 million in federal money is spent. They also insisted that the bill would allow districts and teachers unions to agree to make test scores a minor factor in evaluations. And, they said, it will send a message to parents that their child’s academic growth, as measured in statewide assessment tests, is taken seriously. “We think that this is an important bill to make sure that we put students first,” said Parasa Chanramy of Stand for Children, an education-reform group that gathered 20,000 signatures on petitions supporting the bill.

I am concerned that PSE has not looked at alternative solutions. A thorough examination of alternatives would have been required in the EIS. A variety of solutions are now viable. Maybe we should take a second look at putting the lines underground. Technology like grid batteries would not have been feasible when PSE first conceived this project in 2006. We now have the opportunity to use 21st century technology in support of our neighborhoods and environment. We don’t know how much this project will cost us or how many power outages might be prevented. An EIS would have helped the community better understand the project. Let’s not shortchange ourselves or our children and grandchildren by taking shortcuts on a project of this magnitude.

PSE and trees

I am writing with regard to the plans for removal of nearly 300 trees along 148th Avenue, which I strongly disagree with. I am disappointed to hear that the City of Bellevue allowed PSE to proceed with this project without completing an EIS. Removal of these trees will have an environmental impact on Bellevue, because they protect air and water quality, mitigate the effects of storm water runoff, provide habitat for wildlife, and contribute to the beauty of the city. I am concerned that PSE was not required to look at alternative solutions. A thorough examination of alternatives would have been required in the EIS. A variety of solutions are now viable which

were not feasible when PSE first conceived this project in 2006. Please do not allow this project to proceed as currently envisioned.

Trees

I was saddened today to hear about planned removal of 295 trees to accommodate PSE’s plans to build a new transmission line between the Lake Hills and Phantom Lake substations. 148th is my daily commute route as I drive from South Bellevue to Redmond, and I deeply enjoy its greenery. I lived in Klahanie on the Issaquah Plateau prior to and during the removal of hundreds of trees along Klahanie Blvd. Their offense? They were buckling the sidewalks, creating a “dangerous” walking situation. Once the tree canopy was removed, the street looked so stark and bare. Eventually some trees were replaced, but they were smaller and by design would never regain the height or beauty of the previous trees. Removal of the trees will not only look bad, but also reduce air quality and contribute to global warming. We need to keep as many trees as possible.
