The Washington Court of Appeals decided Monday in favor of a trial court that sided with a Bellevue firefighter seeking reinstatement of his industrial insurance benefits after he was diagnosed with skin cancer. The court found the city of Bellevue failed to prove Wilfred Larson’s occupation and melanoma were unrelated. Larson had been working for 30 years as a firefighter and EMT for the city when he was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2009. The state Department of Labor and Industries awarded Larson benefits, but the city convinced the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals to reverse the decision. The King County Superior Court again reversed the decision, finding the city did not definitively disprove Larson’s claim that his skin cancer was an occupational disease. At trial, Larson testified to being

Bellevue SWAT team members took to the waters of Lake Washington on Tuesday to train for how to approach an emergency situation by boat. Police Capt. John McCracken said the Meydenbauer Marina was an ideal training location, based on the difficult street and home layouts around it. “The street access is sometimes terrible,” he said. SWAT members perform a minimum of 20 hours of training each month and the additional

Bellevue Police say an Apple Store employee at Bellevue Square did the right thing by contacting law enforcement after a man came in and left a suspicious package on the counter addressed to Apple CEO Tim Cook, which turned out to be a harmless glass chalice. Bellevue Police Officer Seth Tyler said a man came into the Apple Store on July 9 and told a clerk he had a package for Cook, which the employee said the store wouldn’t accept. The man placed the package on the counter and left. A bomb technician later responded, but Tyler said the circumstances and condition of the package didn’t raise any red flags. “It didn’t raise our suspicions enough to leave it (the package) as is and evacuate,” he said. “(The bomb technician) actually picked it up and walked it outside of the mall and X-rayed it.” The package was later opened, revealing a glass chalice with a gift tag made out to former President Bill Clinton. “It was definitely unusual,” Tyler said of the incident. “We just wish the individual who left it would have at least provided some more information.”

Public pianos bring music to local parks
First time Parks instruments settle in Bellevue BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
Three vibrantly decorated pianos will be available for use by Bellevue residents beginning on Friday, July 17 as a part of the second season of the Pianos in the Parks program. “We can’t wait for these pianos to come to Bellevue’s beautiful parks and open space,” said Mary Pat Byrne, the city of Bellevue’s arts specialist. “Bellevue is one of the state’s most diverse communities, which you can certainly see in our parks, but music speaks to us all. We have some great conversations ahead.” The three instruments are the first to be placed in and around Bellevue. Although this is the second year of the program, no pianos were displayed in Bellevue last year. One of the pianos will be placed in Ashwood Plaza, adjacent to the Bellevue Regional Library in downtown Bellevue. The piano — designed by Larine Chung — will be the center of the Bellevue Pianos in the Parks kick-off event, featuring piano performances by Mayor Claudia Balducci and others.

The piano that will be on display in Ashwood Plaza through Aug. 16. Chung, who is currently on faculty at the Eastside Artist Collaborative, trained as a classical pianist since her childhood before pursuing art in college, according to her bio. The location of the other two pianos was not available at press time. The locations can be viewed beginning Friday, July 17 on www.pianosintheparks.com. The pianos will be available for use by the public for a month, ending on Aug. 16. Throughout that time, people of all skill levels and musical persuasions are also invited to enter a Pianos in the Parks video contest for a chance to perform as part of the Seattle Center’s Concerts at the Mural presented by KEXP 90.3 FM on Friday, Aug. 21. Entrants should upload a video of their performance of original or public domain music using one of the participating pianos to the Pianos in the Parks website. At the conclusion of this summer’s Pianos program, the instruments will be sold to the highest bidder via an online auction. The auction begins on July 16, and closes at 5 p.m. on Aug. 13. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Bellevue Parks and Recreation, the city’s arts program and other organizations.

End of state legislative session
Clutter added up
I
t seems hard to believe — but it wasn’t only the budget that sent the Legislature into three special sessions this year. There were many factors. We guess that one was the sheer volume of bills and laws, introduced and re-introduced, parsed, reviewed, thrown out or resurrected that kept lawmakers busy. Perhaps the budget impasse came about because of the amount of time spent in meetings, hearings or reviews on way too many topics. It is not that simple, of course. There are many needs, many moving parts to be tinkered with, reconsidered or replaced. But let’s take a look at some of the bills, laws, amendments etc., that were acted on and /or processed in some way this year. A quick sample includes: HB 1560 - concerning “recognizing the 31st of March as Cesar Chavez Day” to HB 5540 - on whether or not to “recognize the national day of the cowboy,” to HB 1071 - regarding “making technical changes to form year designations.” Then there is H2SHB 1391, which concerns “aligning functions of the consolidated technology services agency, office of the chief information officer, and department of enterprise services.” Our favorite item was concerning the “allowing the filing of a special allegation of a nefarious drone enterprise.” None of these issues by themselves might have been complex or time-consuming. But, it all adds up. There were of course, many important topics dealt with during the sessions. Lawmakers discussed mental health services, protecting both children and vulnerable adults. There were deals and decisions made regarding funding transportation projects and education and the economy. We wish our elected representatives and their staffs had more time to focus on what they know and we know are the most important and the most urgent.

To the editor Keep them separate, leave hyphen in Bel-Red As a nearly lifelong resident of Bellevue, a long-ago student at Highland Elementary School on Bellevue-Redmond Road, I think the hyphen should stay in Bel-Red Road. Comparing it to SeaTac doesn’t quite work. That city is in neither Seattle nor Tacoma. The Bel-Red development area is all within Bellevue, next to, but not in Redmond. With all due respect to the fine city of Redmond, and while encouraging cooperation, let’s keep them separate, with a hyphen. Time to move on to things like traffic and building density. The easy stuff. Don Riggs
The risk of ‘sanctuary cities’ It was a beautiful day as Kate Steinle strolled along the San Francisco waterfront with her Dad. Suddenly it all ended as Kate was cut down by a fusillade of bullets fired by an illegal immigrant, Francisco Sanchez. Sanchez is a felon who has been deported five times from the US and entered six. To further compound the crime he was using a pistol stolen from a federal agent. By his own admission, Sanchez said he went to San Francisco because it is a “sanctuary city.” The operative word here is “sanctuary.” That means that the city will not cooperate with the federal government in matters of illegal immigration. In other words
it is very difficult to deport an illegal immigrant for any reason. The county sheriff and the San Francisco mayor are now pointing fingers at each other in a rising crescendo. In fact, if the sanctuary policy had not been in effect this tragedy might not have happened. It would be easy to end “sanctuary cities”, simply cut off all federal funding until they comply with federal law. However, this does not fit in with the Obama administrations view of political correctness. Therefore, the administration who sent scores of federal agents to Ferguson Mo to investigate the death of felon Michael Brown, has nothing to say about Kate Steinle. The silence is so deafening you could hear the grass grow on the south lawn. San Francisco is just one of hundreds of “sanctuary cities.” Seattle is another one. These types of crimes are committed by the score across the country. They just aren’t publicized. If it weren’t for the poignant quality of this travesty perhaps it wouldn’t be publicized either. Congress is now drafting a law proclaiming that any felon who enters the US illegally is subject to five years in prison, mandatory. Second time offenders get 10 years. And a third time nets them 20 years. The law is named, appropriately enough, Kates law. Kates last words were,”Dad, help me.” Perhaps this law might help another Kate somewhere, sometime.

Light rail not the issue; extra I-90 lane needed The 7/10/15 Bellevue Reporter Opinion page editorial “It takes time” and a “Sound Transit light rail work too late” letter to the editor about light rail in Bellevue ignores the real problem with public transit in out area. That is the failure of Sound Transit to add a fourth lane to the I-90 outer roadway to accommodate non-transit HOV traffic and initiate two-way bus only lanes on the bridge center roadway. They could have been done it 15 years ago with a tiny fraction of the funds they’ve spent on East Link and provide ten times its transit capacity with access from every P&R in the area. Doing so is the only way to reduce the areas congestion. Bill Hirt

Cellphone photos lead to arrest of suspect in armed robbery of Bel-Red convenience store BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH-SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A 23-year-old Woodinville man was arrested by Redmond police July 9, one day after he allegedly robbed a convenience store on Bel-Red Road in Bellevue. Bellevue police announced the arrest Friday. On July 8, a man entered the 7-Eleven on 15521 Bel-Red Road and demanded cash and cigarettes from the clerk at knifepoint. Another employee used his cellphone to take photos of the robber, which were shared with surrounding police agencies. An off-duty Redmond police officer spotted a man who resembled the suspect in the photos in a Redmond grocery story the next morning and arrested him on an active Department of Corrections warrant without incident.

Prosecutor declines to prosecute art teacher accused of rape
August 6, at Columbia Winery, Woodinville Register Today at Hopelink.org Ad sponsored in partnership with the Bellevue Reporter
A Bellevue art teacher arrested earlier this year for the alleged rape of a student will not be facing charges due to a lack of sufficient evidence provided by investigators, says the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Bellevue Police arrested Regan Brewer during a traffic stop in late January, after a former Cherry Crest Elementary student alleged she was raped by the arts teacher multiple times inside the classroom from 2003-07. He was released from the King County Jail the next day, the prosecutor’s office requesting more evidence be provided by the BPD before making a charging decision. Brewer denied the allegations when questioned by police prior to his arrest, saying students do come into his art class before and after school for various reasons, but he never touched any student inap-
propriately, according to a probable cause affidavit. The affidavit states Brewer was also investigated in 1999 for suspicion of possessing child pornography, but no charges were ever filed. Brewer was placed on administrative leave until the investigation was completed, and no decision has been made yet by the Bellevue School District as to whether the art teacher will be allowed to return to teaching at both Cherry Crest and Clyde Hill Elementary. “We are conducting our own investigation, and that is essentially where we are in the process,” said Elizabeth Sytman, district communications director. Susan Jacob-Brewer said she didn’t know her husband was no longer under investigation or facing charges until the Reporter published the decision by the prosecutor’s office online Monday. “Nobody told us — nobody,” she said. “That’s just

wrong, because we’ve been waiting.” Jacob-Brewer described the past seven months as “an absolute nightmare,” recalling the media that awaited her husband once he was released from jail. On top of losing his professional credibility in the wake of the allegations, Jacob-Brewer said there was also intense backlash against her husband on media comment feeds online. “People were ready to kill him,” she said. Jacob-Brewer said her husband planned on teaching for the next 15 years until retirement, but she’s not sure Brewer will be able to return to work, even if the school district allows it. “It’s a huge relief,” she said of the prosecutor’s decision, “but I know the school’s still investigating, and I wonder what that’s about.”

Legislature preserves law enforcement training funding Bellevue chief says staffing a main concern for force BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Washington cities in the process of boosting their police force won’t be doing so alone, as the Legislature this session agreed to continue funding the bulk cost of law enforcement training. Bellevue Government Affairs Director Joyce Nichols went before the city council in February to report a concerning Senate
bill, which would have required municipal governments to pay the full cost of police academy basic training for officers. Historically, cities and counties have paid 25 percent and the state covers 75 percent of the reimbursement to the Criminal Justice Training Commission. Nichols said it was Steve Mylett great news to find the Legislature decided to fully fund the criminal justice fund used for reimbursing training costs, especially when Bellevue is replacing retiring officers and
expanding its department. The state Office of Financial Management estimates it costs $10,000 to train an officer. “I was very happy that the Legislature made the decision not to cut the funding for the training, because it would have been a significant impact,” said Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett, “not only on the BPD, but all of the police departments in the state.” Mylett made one-on-one interviews with BPD employees a goal when he signed on with the department in April, and said staffing has been a main concern he’s heard during those meetings. “Unfortunately, we do have some em-

at the time he was charged, came under investigation after a number of fellow students called 911 on Feb. 12 to report the teen had made threats to shoot up the school. Those reports caused International to close that day and the student to be arrested outside his Bellevue home that morning. Police interviewed the 17-year-old student fol-
lowing his arrest, where the honor roll student told a detective he does not get along with many students, has few friends and had been considering suicide for the past five years, according to the police report. The student also reported having anger management issues due to being bullied and unpopular at school. The former student was granted a 12-month deferred disposition in
April, and will be required to complete 50 hours of community restitution that includes credit for his mandatory mental health treatment. The judgement also prohibits him from returning to the International School or any other Bellevue School District campus, and he is not allowed to engage in unwanted contact with International and BSD staff and students.
STAFF REPORT
The city is bringing back its Solarize Bellevue campaign, which seeks to reduce the cost for Bellevue residents to install solar panels on their homes, after 50 households participated last year. A series of workshops will be held throughout the year, the first taking place 6-8 p.m. Tuesday in city hall council chambers. The workshops educate residents about the costs, incentives, benefits and
requirements for installing solar power on their homes. The city reports the installation of 50 new solar arrays last year increased Bellevue’s solar production by 45 percent. Workshop attendees are eligible for a free site assessment and cost estimate. Preregistration is required and can be done online at www.greenwa.org. A&R Solar, which is contracting with the city, will again donate a free system to a local nonprofit. The Bellevue Boys and Girls Club Teen Center was last year’s recipient.

Sammamish woodshop class not on the chopping block
Community Briefs County data shows increase in edible marijuana intoxication among children
ished as a part of the ongoing Sammamish High School renovations, but the Engineering Design Labs that are being built to replace it will also include the tools to support a woodshop class. “I understand Woods Tech has been a very positive learning experience for many students over time,” said Tom Duenwald in an email to a concerned family. “While the new Engineering Design Labs are significantly different than the woods-focused facility that was created over fifty years ago, they do include several large machines for fabricating with woods, metals and plastics.” The school is increasing their focus on STEM programs, and will be adding new CTE/STEM course offerings including construction management, robotics, engineering and material sciences courses. However, the woodshop course will still be a part of the curriculum. One of the new spaces has several large mostly woods-related devices, including a band saw, drill press, belt sander, bench top miter saw, arbor press, planer, table saw and other tools. It also includes smaller equipment that can be used for woods-focused engineering and construction management projects. “We have also devoted significant time, energy and resources over the past several years toward developing a Problem Based Learning approach toward the curriculum that embraces the type of learning experiences… had in the woods class,” said Duenwald.
BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
Despite concerns from community members, the Sammamish High School woodshop class will not be turning off its table saws anytime soon. Multiple members of the community appealed to the district to keep the course, including Interlake High School student David Demory, who spoke in front of the Board of Directors in Juneabout what the class meant to him. Demory said he believed the end of the woodshop class was due to the district’s increasing focus on STEM program. “They want to focus more academic stuff with the STEM program going on there, which strikes me as ironic, because woodshop kind of is inherently a technology class,” he said to the school board. Karen Demaree, the mother of two children in the Bellevue School District, called the rumor that the district would be suspending the woodshop program “an unfortunate choice”. However, a district spokesperson said ending the program was never discussed by board members, and that many of them were confused by the public’s pleas to save the program. The existing Woods Lab will be demol-

Evergreen doctor finds success with 3D printed prosthesis

to pain, bone bleeding and scar tissue. According to ConforMIS, a study in the The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that bone overhang affected 40 percent of male and 68 percent of female knee replacements. More bone is also taken away during the insertion of the standard knee replacement prosthesis, leading to a greater potential for the prosthesis to loosen faster and possibly making installing a second knee replacement more complicated. “It’s made out of the same materials, but this prosthesis conserves bone,” said Santoro, who has been using the specialized knee replacements for about a year and a half. “I know there are more doctors who want to use them.” In the last 18 months, Santoro has used the individualized prosthesis for about 75 patients, and says that demand is growing. It does take around six to seven weeks to get the prosthesis made, and the cost varies for patients. But, Dreitzler said the difference in cost between the stock prosthesis and the iTotal CR was about $150. The prosthesis emerged from other, smaller individualized knee replacement parts created by the Burlington,

Mass.- based company. ConforMIS also manufactures a handful of products used in partial knee replacements. Altogether, the company has sold over 30,000 implants from their product range. The first surgeries were performed in Boston, Indio, CA, and Houston in May 2011, according to a ConforMIS press release. At the time, John Slamin, senior vice president of engineering at ConforMIS, said “these first iTotal cases reinforce my belief that patient-specific knee replacement will redefine the category.” The prothesis has not been without complaints. In October 2014, a Texas woman filed a lawsuit alleging that the iTotal G2 knee replacements (the previous generation of iTotal product) she received were defective, and is suing for liability, negligence, breach of warranty and damages. A ConforMIS representative declined to comment on the claims, citing the ongoing legal case. Despite this lawsuit, the company closed its initial public offerings on July 7, selling 10,350,000 shares of common stock at $15 per share. The custom-made prosthesis technology is also being considered for other surgeries, including hip replacements. And Dreitzler has returned to doing what he loves — training horses, with a lot less pain and a lot more mobility.

Three months after his second knee surgery, Ralph Dreitzler was back in the saddle again. The semi-retired horse trainer didnt’ think it was possible, given that it had taken him a year to get to this point after his first knee replacement six years ago. “I’m amazed at how fast I came back,” said Dreitzler, 62. “There’s been a lot less pain, right from the get go. It’s been a piece of cake compared to my other knee.” Dreitzler is one of the patients to receive the only specialized knee replacement prosthesis on the market. Dr. Vincent Santoro at Evergreen Health Orthopedics & Sports Care in Bellevue is among the first surgeons in the U.S. to use this technology for total knee replacements. While he said there are patients who will do very well with a stock prosthesis, it has benefitted active patients like Dreitzler. “I’ve been using it for people who want to maintain an active lifestyle,” said Santoro. “It’s the BMW of prosthesis.” The device, called the iTotal CR, is designed specifically for each patient based on 3-D scans of the person’s knee. Surgeons take CT scan images of the knee of the patient receiving an iTotal knee replacement, which are converted into 3-D images by ConforMIS that are used to create the prosthesis. People’s knee bones are generally not completely the same size, especially in the back, so 3-D images are especially applicable in knee replacements because they can show the intricacies in each patient’s knee bone, said Santoro. The stock total knee replacement prosthesis used in most surgeries comes in pre-set sizes, sometimes extending too far or not covering enough of the bone, potentially leading

And, in some ways, an even stronger one to ask for help.
Sports stars and celebrities took to the Hidden Valley Sports Park on July 11 and 12 to raise funds for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue. Seahawk Chris Matthews and his two brothers joined Jermaine Kearse, K.J. Wright, B.J. Daniels, Kevin Smith and
more played in the Chris Matthews 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament and charity auction on Saturday, July 11. Eight teams of participants high schoolage or above battled for the championship title and bragging rights. Local competitors “Tim’s Team” emerged from the pack to take on the Matthews brothers, who lost in the final seconds of the game. On Sunday, July 12, Mariner Fernando Rodney, former Mariner Jeff Cirillo, former New Orleans Saint Reggie Jones, Bachelorette star Desiree Hartsock and husband Chris Siegfried, Bachelor star Jason Mesnick, and star of The Voice, Mycle Wastman, competed in the Fernando Rodney Softball Game and charity auction. Mycle Wastman performed the National Anthem and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue’s “Youth of the Year” Kaitlyn Nutting was selected to throw out the first pitch. The events were topped off with a silent auction featuring cleats worn and autographed by Marshawn Lynch, a jersey autographed by Felix Hernandez and a bat autographed by Albert Pujols, along with other sports-related items. Proceeds from both events benefitted the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue and its Be Great Bellevue campaign to raise funds to build a new clubhouse in Bellevue. Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue was established in 1952. Currently the organization has 12 sites throughout the City of Bellevue and serves children 2 and a half to 19 years of age. Altogether, the charity event raised $10,000.

Inspiration Playground reaches new milestone Project receives additional $1.5M in funding BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
The forthcoming Inspiration Playground and Sensory Garden in Bellevue recently received an additional $1.5 million in state funding, bringing the project another step closer to implementation. “We’re getting closer to having this become a reality for community,” said Rob Rose, who originated the idea for the Inspiration Playground. The 2015-2017 capital budget passed early this month allocates $1 million for work set to begin this summer. An additional $500,000 was allocated
through the Washington Wildlife and Reactions Program. Sen. Steve Litzow pushed for the state funding, saying in a release that “providing all children, regardless of ability, with an accessible outdoor space to recreate is important for needed physical activity as well as social and interpersonal development.” The playground, publicprivate partnership between the Bellevue Rotary and the city of Bellevue, would be inclusive of children of all abilities. The addition of new play structures, a sensory garden and other features will expand the existing playground in the Bellevue Downtown Park to a total of 1.5 acres. “One of the main things I learned, when you got people with and without disabilities together, you
saw a perception change pretty quickly. Within just a really short period of time, 20-30 minutes, they’re forget their disabilities completely,” he said of the project’s benefits. The Bellevue Rotary Club has been raising money for the playground for about two years, and hopes to break group in spring 2016. As the Reporter previously reported, Phase One construction for the Inspiration Playground was contingent on the Rotary raising $1.4 million. Many organizations have donated to the cause over the last year. In March, the Seattle Seahawks donated $20,000 toward the purchase of a SwayFun Glider, which is a wheelchairaccessible swing that will be decked out in Seahawks
colors. Microsoft also donated money towards the project. “The Inspiration Playground will provide a wonderful play space for children of all abilities in our community,” said Rick Taylor, president of the Bellevue Rotary Club. “The Rotary Club of Bellevue is very pleased to see this project in the final capital budget.”

Jordan displays a diligent work ethic on the hardwood BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Interlake Saints senior basketball player Justin Jordan traveled 2,791 miles to hone his skills on the hardwood in preparation for his final season of high school basketball. Jordan, who competed in the Standard of Excellence Basketball Academy Prospect Camp in Charlotte this past June, said learning under the tutelage of former Purdue University coach J.D. Deloney was something he will never forget. There were players from Texas, Montana and New York in attendance at the prospect camp. “When I first started I thought I was prepared for what I was getting into and was pretty much ready, but when I got there I realized it was a whole new level of work,” Jordan said. “We did drills and exercises that I had never done before. We did three workouts a day and I was sore seven nights a week for the entire month.” The 6-foot, 4-inch Jordan has a long-term goal of playing college basketball but is focused on taking care of business in his senior season by leading the Saints to the playoffs. “I want to lead my team into the playoffs. We didn’t make the playoffs last year but I definitely want us to make it this year,” Jordan said. “I do feel a lot of pressure because it is my senior year and I need to perform. This is it. I need to make this year count and I want my team to know that. A lot of my teammates are seniors so this is it for them too. We want to make the playoffs. It either happens or it doesn’t. Everything is on the line.” Jordan said he significantly improved his game in Charlotte this past June. “The thing that improved the most was my ball handling,” he said. “It has gotten really tight and to the point where I can just make moves and do what I want with the ball.”
Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Jordan a few questions about his life away from the basketball court. Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time? Justin Jordan: It is “Like Mike.” Something about the kid putting on the magic shoes and going to the NBA was cool about that. BR: What is your biggest pet peeve? JJ: Shooting the basketball and watching it rim out. I can’t stand that. BR: What is your dream vacation spot? JJ: Hawaii. I have never been their but I have always wanted to go there. BR: What is your favorite TV show? JJ: Graceland. It’s an undercover cop show. BR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know? JJ: I like to read in my free time. BR: Who was your favorite sports team growing up? JJ: The Atlanta Hawks (National Basketball Association team). BR: How many text messages do you send per day? JJ: I send a lot. I probably send hundreds for sure. Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@bellevuereporter.com

Marlow was the team captain of the Pacific Lutheran Lutes football program in his senior season on the gridiron. “Rob is an outstanding young man of high character who has a clear plan for Newport basketball. We are excited to start this next chapter here at Newport and the upcoming season next year,” James said in a press release. Marlow was the head assistant boys basketball coach at Liberty from 2012 through 2015 and also was an assistant coach for the Liberty football team. The 24-year-old Marlow is grateful for the opportunity to run his own high school basketball program. “It is definitely an honor for me. Being a head coach has been a dream of mine. I’m definitely humbled by the opportunity. I couldn’t be more thankful for the mentors I have had. All of the credit goes to them,” Marlow said. “Omar Parker the head basketball coach at Liberty as well as Steve Valach (Lib-
erty head football coach) taught me in terms of using the game of football and basketball to not only build winners, but also build great young men on and off the field and court as well.” While Marlow said it was difficult to say goodbye to his alma-mater, he is eagerly anticipating the opportunity that has presented itself at Newport as the head basketball coach of the boys basketball program. “To give back to the Liberty community after college was a great experience. It was definitely hard to step away from the Liberty community and move on. I couldn’t be more thankful for their support throughout this process,” he said. “Omar Parker has been a mentor of mine and everything I’m bringing to the Newport basketball program are based off things that I learned from him. As a head coach, my goal is to build a successful program from the ground up.” Team camaraderie and giving 100 percent effort are going to be staples of the Newport boys hoops program, Marlow said. “We are going to focus on having great energy and great effort. We’re going to be a team that plays tough and plays together,” he said. “The face of Newport basketball will be guys playing for another and guys playing the game for the right reasons.”

Hunter said Expedia’s decision to move to the Seattle waterfront was to have an iconic building, and Amazon based itself in South Lake Union because that’s where the tech talent is. “What drove them was the availability of talent. The talent wants to work in South Lake Union and the talent also wants to grow in Bellevue,” he said, “and that’s why no one is worried about that empty office space.” Hunter added the Legislature did find other ways of aiding the tech sector, such as approving Bellevue College’s two-year operating budget that reduces tuition and supports a new computer science degree. “That is a much more effective way for us, as a state, to spend money than on lowering the tax rates for the most

It’s time again for the city to update its long-range park plan, and the city is seeking resident feedback through a 5-minute online survey. The Bellevue Parks and Open Space System Plan is updated about every six year, the city council adopting the current plan in 2010. The city uses the plan to guid its acquisition and development of parks and trails. It also sets standards for park, trail and open space maintenance and operations. To view the 2010 plan, go to this shortened link: http://bit.ly/1CHj871. To take the survey, go to this shortened link: http://svy.mk/1HvKdBF. profitable companies in the world,” he said. The city of Bellevue had been lobbying to keep the business and occupation tax credit, along with a sales tax deferral on R&D construction for small businesses and startups. “We are so heavily reliant on the tech sector, and we were unsuccessful,” said Joyce Nichols, city government affairs director. “I don’t think there’s any other way to put it.” Bellevue was one of 19 signatories on a Washington Tech Cities Coalition letter to legislators back in March that urged support of amended legislation that would have lowered the B&O tax credit cap from $2 million to $500,000. There are 44 states with similar tax credit programs, and Washington’s loss could cause tech companies looking to relocate to reassess their options, Nichols said. Ross Hunter “We would be one of a handful that doesn’t have an exemption like this,” she said. “It could be a problem.” But Washington Technology Industry Association CEO Michael Schutzler doesn’t think the change will have a serious effect on the state’s growing tech sector. “It will be felt,” he said, “but it’s not going to stop the train.” Schutzler said the Legislature should continue to focus on improving the state’s infrastructure, adding a transportation package that improves commute times in the Puget Sound region will be an added benefit for tech employers looking to attract employees to the area. The top priority should be fixing the state’s education system, he said. Schutzler lauded passage of House Bill 1813, which funds teacher training and certification for K-12 computer science education.

great community event,” said Bellevue Fire Lt. Richard Burke. “The stands were full, and it was a great day weather-wise for the competitors.” Teams from around the region, including Seattle, Mercer Island and Tacoma, joined competitors from British Columbia, California, Nevada, Alabama, Kentucky and Alaska. The crowd of spectators was one of the largest the challenge hosts have had this year, Burke said. “The mission of the challenge is to promote and showcase the talents, skills, and athleticism of America’s fire-

shirtless during outdoor activities and occasionally using a tanning bed to prepare for summer trips to Lake Chelan. He also testified to being exposed to smoke, fumes and toxic chemicals as a firefighter, until he transferred to the department’s training division in 2010. The city provided three expert witnesses to support its argument that Larson’s recreational exposure to ultraviolet light and genetic risk factors were more
likely to have caused the firefighter’s cancer than his occupation. A jury decided through a special verdict form that the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals erred by accepting Bellevue’s argument that Larson’s cancer was not an occupational disease. In its petition to the Division 1 Court of Appeals, the city of Bellevue argued Washington code for firefighters that accepts as a presumption of fact that respiratory disease, heart problems, cancer and infectious diseases are occupational diseases is flawed because it doesn’t require a
fighter heroes,” Scott Safety Firefighter Combat Challenge organizers said in a news release. During the Firefighter Combat challenge, male and female firefighters had to climb five flights of stairs with a 42 pound hose before hoisting another 42 pound hose up to the top of the tower. After running back down the stairs, competitors simulated a forcible entry by driving a 160-pound steel beam a distance of five feet. Each firefighter then races a 140-foot obstacle course, the latter half of which requires them to drag a fire hose and shoot a target. They finally must drag a 175-pound dummy 100 feet to the finish line. All this generally takes place in the span of one to three minutes. The world record is one minute and 19 seconds, according to challenge records. Altogether, the local event costs the hosts around $30,000 to hold. The idea for the race came from former firefighter and paramedic Dr. Paul Davis. The first challenge was held in 1991. Decades later, thousands of firefighters now compete in the challenge every year at more than 20 locations across the country. In the past, Burke had made it to the championship and said there are competitors from around the world. With the success of their first year as sponsors, Burke said the Bellevue Fire Department is hoping to host the event again. “We absolutely hope to host it again,” he said. “It was just a great community event and a nod to the firefighters and what they do.” firefighter to provide medical proof tying an affliction to their occupation. “Instead, the condition is presumed to be an occupational disease,” the court wrote about the city’s argument, “and at this point in the production of evidence, the firefighter has proved a prima facie (true until proven otherwise) case for relief.” The Washington Legislature amended state code for firefighters seeking industrial insurance in 2002 — based on a 1990 review that found firefighters have a statistically higher risk of melanoma — to accept
