With the drone of construction coming to a halt especially for the event, small businesses will open their doors for the annual Taste of Main on Saturday, Aug. 22, the last before major changes come to the area. Main Street is currently in the midst multiple construction projects at the intersection of Main and Bellevue Way. Altogether, the buildings will bring a new face to the neighborhood about which business owners are trying to remain optimistic. “We’re going to miss the old Old Bellevue,” said Kris Scott, manager of Wee Tot’s children’s store. “But with everything in life, there’s change, so we’re hopeful.” Old Bellevue has long been know as a quieter, quaint shopping district nestled next to the Downtown Bellevue. Construction is currently underway on three projects on either side of Main Street, including two buildings that will be the visual pillars of the pedestrian shopping district.

The King County prosecutor has charged Seattle resident Darryl Sanders with multiple crimes after he allegedly struck seven vehicles and attempted to carjack two other vehicles, including one with a child inside, while on a drug mixture of LSD and marijuana. “He was on what is called on the
street ‘sherm’. It’s basically marijuana that’s been infused with LSD,” said Bellevue Police spokesperson Seth Tyler. He had been smoking that immediately prior to getting in his car, and it caused him to be angry and paranoid. Sherm has also been described as a joint of marijuana dipped in PCP. At approximately 1:05 p.m., Bellevue Police received a call that
District schools fail ‘No Child Left Behind’ benchmark

For the first time, the Bellevue School District sent letters to parents this week informing them that six schools receiving Title 1 funding failed to meet the federal benchmark for improvement. Beginning in March 2014, school districts in the state of Washington became subject to Title 1 requirements after the U.S. Department of Education declined to renew a pre-existing waiver.
Under the current regulations, all students must reach an Average Yearly Progress (AYP) benchmark to avoid receiving a failing grade. Specifically, schools receiving Title 1 funds are required to have 100 percent of students demonstrate proficiency in both reading and math on the state assessment. That yardstick is regardless of special needs, mastery of the English language, or other circumstances. Six Bellevue schools receive Title 1 Part A funding: Ardmore, Lake Hills, Sherwood Forest

Budget discussions won’t be a repeat of 2013, says Murray

The senator does not anticipate a federal shutdown

Murray said it is wrong to hold the federal budget hostage to pass other legislation, as she said Sen. Ted Cruz tried to do in 2013. She anticipates defunding Planned Parenthood could be the next hot button issue during budget talks.
BELLEVUE REPORTER
With the 2013 budget deal set to expire on Oct. 1, U.S. Senator Patty Murray will be heading back to the negotiating table when the session reconvenes on September 8. “The reason that the government shut down last time is Sen. Ted Cruz hijacked the budget and said that he would not let the budget out unless we voted to repeal Obamacare,” she said when asked if she foresees Congress being able to pass a new budget plan by the prior’s expiration date. “My belief is that we should never subject our budget or the government of this country to any hostage, no matter what.” Murray also identified Planned Parenthood as a potential hot button issue for the Republicans, including Sen. Cruz, but said she and Sen. Mitch McConnell will not let that happen. Sequestration still plays a factor in the negotiations, and Murray said she is anticipating potential one- or twomonth budget extensions. The senior senator from Washington, Murray led the charge on the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 along with Congressman Paul Ryan. The deal set overall discretionary spending for the current fiscal year at $1.012 trillion—about halfway between the Senate budget level of $1.058 trillion and the House budget level of $967 billion.
Supreme Court to fine legislature $100,000 a day in McCleary case
At the time, she said the budget deal “...breaks through the partisanship and gridlock, and shows that Congress can function when Democrats and Republicans work together to make some compromises for the good of the country.” While talking to reporters at the Bellevue Reporter’s headquarters on Aug. 13, Murray stressed longevity, despite the looming change in regime with the upcoming Presidential election. “We just keep limping along with Band-Aids here and our infrastructure is really hurting because of that,” she said about transportation. Murray decried extensions and short-term deals, saying that the planning, contracts, and necessity for an end date for transportation projects makes no sense. “You need to be able to know you can complete projects, so It is absolutely horrible way of doing policy,” she said. Murray reiterated the same sentiment on issues like education and veterans services. However, when it comes to the federal budget, Murray said she believes the wisest SEE BUDGET, 10
The Washington state Supreme Court let the hammer fall in the McCleary education case on Aug. 13, ordering the state to pay $100,000 a day and calling on Gov. Jay Inslee to call the Legislature into special session to resolve the issue. The court order stated the “remedial penalty” of $100,000 per day begins today, Aug. 13, until the Legislature “adopts a complete plan for complying with Article IX, section 1 by the 2018 school year.” The Article IX preamble in the Washington Constitution states, “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.” The Court ruling stated the fine is to be placed into
a “segregated account for the benefit of basic education.” The Supreme Court found the state in contempt in Sept. 11, 2014, but held back sanctions until the completion of the 2015 Legislative Session. “After the close of that session and following multiple special sessions, the State still has offered no plan for achieving full constitutional compliance by the deadline the legislature itself adopted,” the Aug. 13 Court order stated. The Court ruled because the state has not complied with the 2012 McCleary ruling to fulfill its Constitutional obligation to fund education, “this court must take immediate action to enforce its orders.” DENNIS BOX, Covington Reporter Editor dbox@maplevalleyreporter. com or 1-425-432-1209 (ext 5050)

Chinese company breaks ground on first international development in Bellevue

Chinese development company Create World America broke ground on their first international development in Bellevue on Monday, Aug. 17, a six-story, 162-unit apartment complex called the Mirador. “For the last generation, we have had an increasing foreign footprint because Bellevue is an investment city, and I’d expect more in the future,” said Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace, who spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony. “This will help us continue our great relationship with China.” The Mirador apartments, located on 103rd Street in Downtown Bellevue, are the first phase of a residential project that will eventually also include a 17-story, 120 condominium high-rise. Altogether with land costs, the project will cost approximately $147 million. Deputy Wallace joined city council members Lynne Robinson and Conrad Lee, UW Vice President for Student Life Denzil Suite, and officials from the Create World Group for the ceremony on Aug. 17. In addition to being Create World America’s first international development, the Mirador is the first private Chinese multi-year development in Bellevue and the Greater Seattle area. “The official answer to why we chose Bellevue for our location is how great Bellevue looks, with the views and all of the mountains, the proximity to Seattle, the nearby tech companies, and schools here are absolutely wonderful,” said spokesperson Eugene Hu. Additionally, the Seattle area holds a large appeal to the Chinese because of its cultural and physical proximity as the first stop between Beijing and America, and due to the popularity of a Chinese film titled “Looking for Mr. Right”, which is set in Seattle. The Mirador will cater to employees of local technology companies, but Create World America also plans to advertise heavily in China and hopes to draw an international crowd to the residence, said Hu.
The Create World Group has developed large, residential mixed-use projects in Xian, Jilin and ZhuHai, China. For their first project outside of China, the Beijing, China-based company has partnered with the locally owned Daniels Real Estate Company. “Daniels Real Estate Company has a strong reputation for sustainable, high-quality work,” said Tom Yang, president of Create World Group. “How the market works, contracts are cleared, budgets are built, and order of events are much different in the United States than China. We want our local team to learn from the best as they look for other development opportunities along the West Coast for our firm.” Create World Group hopes to have five projects in the U.S. over the next ten years, said Hu. The developers hope to receive their final permit from the city of Bellevue by the end of the year and begin construction on the 162unit apartment complex in 2016. Construction on phase two of the project, the 17-story, 120 condominium high-rise, is slated to begin in late 2016 or early 2017. Both projects are anticipated to take a total of 15-18 months.

State on fire
A
s of late last week, 33 ‘large’ fires were burning across Washington state and in Oregon — 20 in Washington alone. They are named ‘Stickpin’ or ‘ Windy Ridge’ or ’Tunk Block’. Behind those labels are hundreds of firefighters, thousands of hours of labor and millions of public dollars. A large fire is any wildland fire in timber 100 acres or greater, or 300 acres or more in grasslands or rangelands. When you add it all up - there are a lot of buildings, land and timber on fire. The smoke can be seen from space and from a car driving across the state. Smoke hovered over the wheat fields along Highway 261 between Washtucna and Ritzville last Monday where the elevation rises to 1,800 feet or more above sea level. The smoke could been seen in three directions from fires 100 miles or more to the north. Twenty percent or more of the state was in a air quality advisory situation — unhealthy and hazardous for many. Many more are suffering from shock and sorrow. No life has been lost - but other losses are huge. Meanwhile the wind continues to blow, bringing dust and increasing risk to already dry and vulnerable areas. Over here in Western Washington, it is also dry — one of the driest summers on record. Usually, we are rescued by the rain. But the increasing level of fires make it difficult to ignore no matter where you live. A few months ago, even in the usually damp Olympic National Park was on fire. Closer to home there were other ominous signs of fire. There were patches of black along Interstate 90 from Issaquah to Ellensburg. Something had ignited the grass next to the highway shoulder or in the median. Were they begun by a spark from a truck, lightning - or a cigarette? It is too upsetting to guess. Anyone caught tossing a cigarette out the window should have to suit up and help put out a fire out in the wilderness.

Re: Dogs in aisle 6 I used to work in a grocery store and we were told it was corporate policy to not ask people to take their animals outside. The only person who could ask the person to leave was a manager and that was usually only after a complaint by a customer. I have seen people with animals confronted in stores, and it never ends well. The person with the pet get angry, yells, screams and sometimes it turns into a knock down drag out fight. All because they didn’t want to leave little pooky at home or in a car. So, I think your perception is a trifle skewed on the matter. Its not that employees don’t care, we could get lambasted, written up or just screamed at all for asking that they leave their animal somewhere else. Linda Joner Title for John Doe

Spiced Truly Chinese Starbucks considers Cuisine shut down by Lakemont Blvd. health department location for special Restaurant received 163 violation points Spiced Truly Chinese Cuisine on 156th Avenue in Bellevue was shut down by the King County Public Health inspectors on Aug. 13 after finding more than a dozen health code violations. Inspectors found the restaurant did not have proper labeling of toxic substances, proper hand washing facilities, that employees were not washing their hands as required, and were not thoroughly cleaning surfaces and utensils used for raw meat, among other issues. The majority of the health code violations were labeled “critical”, meaning they have the highest risk of causing a food borne disease. If a business receives 90 or more critical violation points, King County Public Health is required to close the establishment. Spiced received 155
critical violation points, plus another eight violation points for improper storage and sanitation of wiping cloths, improper labeling and signage, and not cleaning and maintaining non-food contact surfaces. Violations such as hand washing and food temperatures are considered the most severe, and elicit 25 points each. The Public Health department allows establishments to reopen when they have remedied the conditions that led to the closure, submitted a place of correction to prevent reoccurrence, and obtained a re-inspection. The restaurant reopened on Friday, Aug. 14. The restaurant is still open for business as of press time. The business’ owners did not respond to requests for comment.

The Starbucks location on Lakemont Boulevard in Bellevue is being considered for the company’s new “evenings menu”, a company spokesperson confirmed to the Reporter. Starbucks filed a beer and wine license application with the city of Bellevue on Monday, Aug. 10. “Just as each customer is unique, so are our stores and we consider a broad range of products and experiences for each neighborhood,” a Starbucks spokesperson said. “It’s a long and thoughtful process and the permit filing is just one of many steps we take.” The menu will feature an array of wine, craft beer and small savory plates. The sample menu created by the company includes dishes such as truffle mac and cheese, bacon-wrapped dates and artichoke and goat cheese flatbread. The sample wine selection is made up of both regional and international wines, including a cabernet sauvigon from the Columbia Crest winery in Washington. Starbucks currently offers their evening menu

They first introduced alcoholic beverages in one Seattle location in October 2010, according to Reuters, and have expanded slowly since then.

Medina police warn vacationers, residents about recent burglar BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
Medina police are warning residents to activate their alarms while on last-minute summer vacations, after a suspected burglar was caught entering the second story of the home of a family that was out-oftown. “We hadn’t had a burglary in Medina for 4 or 5 five months, and just the way this one went about, we wanted to get it out and remind people to lock your doors,” said Medina Police Chief Steve Burns. At around 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 14, a house sitter heard the doorbell ring but was unable to answer it, and shortly after witnessed a roughly 40-year-old white male with blond hair and a mustache walk around to the rear of the house trying doors. The suspect was wearing a light colored shirt (white or pink) and light blue jeans at the time. While she was in the midst of calling 911, the suspect accessed a second floor balcony, from which he jumped after being

confronted by the sitter. Officers from Medina, Bellevue and Clyde Hill responded to the call, but were unable to locate the suspect. A Seattle Police K9 performed a track for the subject that ended up being unsuccessful. Police are investigating a few leads at this time, said Burns. If the burglary attempt was a crime of opportunity or if the suspect had scouted the house in advance is unclear, as is how the suspect reach the second floor balcony. The Medina Police offer a “housewatch” program in which police officers will regularly check on homes and look for anything out of place. Residents can register for the program by going to www.medina-wa. gov, clicking on “Online Forms”, and then “Housewatch Request Form”. “We are encouraging residents that are in town to call 911 if they see anything. This goes for residents in Bellevue, Clyde Hill and other places. If it’s going on here, it could be happening in another community,” said Burns.

Where’s the scientific evidence? Does a dog belong in a grocery cart? Of course not - and I agree that a grocery store should be off limits for a lot of reasons not related to “clean” (but these do include poorly house-trained animals). State and FDA regulations should be recognized, honored, and enforced; with that I can’t disagree. But the argument ends there. Poorly behaved animals, just like poorly behaved children, should not be forced on the rest of us, but it is unfortunate that a well-behaved “man’s best friend” can’t join that man for a friendly pint at the local pub.

a mixed-use development made up of 350 residential units, associated community spaces, 14,600 square feet of retail space, 11,000 square feet of restaurant space and 592 parking spaces. Adjoining the Main Street Gateway is a separate mixed-use development called Bellevue at Main. Located at 15 Bellevue Way, it will entail 256 apartments, 32,000 square feet of retail space, 301 parking stalls, a fitness center and a roof-top deck with outdoor barbecues. The other half of the new pillars to the Main Street is construction on the Amcut offices at 10133 Main Street. The developers are in phase two of rebuilding the pre-existing 1,400 square foot building and adding a new 1,600 square foot, two-story office building. None of the development companies responded to requests for comment. “The construction companies are very nice, but it is a hinderance. But, I think in end its all for the good. I think it will bring a new hipness that wasn’t here before,” said Lorali Downes, owner of Lorali’s Optical.

construction is paving the way. “If you look at the two projects right on Main Street, they will have wide sidewalks. We think it will create a customer friendly, kind of fun atmosphere,” said Don Booth, president of the Old Bellevue Merchants Association. Representatives from the three construction companies have been attending merchants association meetings, some before construction had begun, and members of the association did get to see images from the projects during the design phase, Booth added. The association is also is looking for ways to maintain the charm and history of Main Street, including some work with the Eastside Heritage Center and events focused on the area, such as the Taste of Main. “With all of the work going on, the merchants have been much more plugged in this year,” said Ahinsa Mansukhani, one of the Taste of Main organizers. “Once you get past the construction and everything, it is a highly unique street in Bellevue. Everything’s developed with skyscrapers and stuff all around it, but you walk into Old Bellevue and it feels like a different world.” Taste of Main will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22.

County launches homeless veterans campaign Aims to find each a home by end of 2015
King County has launched a community-wide campaign to help every local homeless military veteran find housing by Dec. 31, 2015. The Committee to End Homelessness and its regional partners have already helped more than 1,200 local veterans transition to housing since 2014. Operation: WelcomeOneHome encourages property managers and community organizations to help the estimated 662 remaining veterans find housing. “Many homeless military veterans have a housing voucher in their hands — they just need a property manager to give them a chance,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Helping every veteran in King County find a safe, affordable place to live by the end of the year requires a community-wide effort, one that I am proud to be a part of.” Elected leaders from federal, state, and local levels participated in a campaign launch at Seattle Central College. Participants included U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, state House Speaker Frank Chopp, Deputy King County Executive Fred Jarrett, King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray . “As the daughter of a World War II veteran and a senior member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, I’ve been fighting for years to make sure our country follows through on its promise to take care of our veterans after they return home,” U.S. Senator Patty Murray said. “While our country has made great strides in recent years providing services to the men and women who so bravely served our country, I believe that even one veteran sleeping on the streets is one too many, which is why I’m so proud to join this effort to end veteran homelessness once and for all.” The kickoff included an informational forum led by HUD Regional Administrator Bill Block to introduce the program to prospective landlords. With funding support from the voter-approved Veterans and Human Services Levy, the program includes a risk reduction fund and linkages for veterans to case management and other supportive services such as job coaching and training. The program works closely with landlords and veterans to make a good match. Improving coordination across all levels of government and increasing collaboration between public and private sectors was the goal of Executive Constantine’s Regional Veterans Initiative, now in its

second year. The campaign is conducted in conjunction with the Mayor’s Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness, introduced by the White House last year. Executive Constantine signed on, as did Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Algona Mayor David Hill, Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, Kenmore Mayor David Baker, and Renton Mayor Denis Law. “Too many veterans answered the call only to return home from war unable to find a warm bed at night,” said Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. “Cities across America continue to struggle with the rising crisis of homelessness. Seattle is responding in collaboration with our local partners and through our own significant investments in social services and our Seattle Housing Levy.” Thanks to the support of the federal government, hundreds of housing vouchers have been created for homeless veterans. Today, more than 225 veterans have a housing voucher but can’t find a property owner or manager who is willing to accept it. The highly-competitive rental market and strict screening criteria are serious barriers for homeless veterans. A new partner, Zillow, has joined the regional effort to increase availability of private market housing for people exiting homelessness, including veterans. The campaign establishes a command center for triaging calls, with one number for veterans to call for help with shelter, housing, and other services. That number is 1-877-904-8387. The campaign also has a number for prospective landlords to call for information on the Operation: WelcomeOneHome program and how to join. That number is 206-336-4616. For more information on Operation: WelcomeOneHome, contact Dawn Barrett, King County Regional Veterans Initiative at 206-263-1222.
Public invited to comment on transportation alternatives Residents, employees and others who are interested in improving the transportation system in Bellevue are invited to comment on a draft Transportation Demand Management plan. The purpose of the plan is to expand the use of transit, carpooling, vanpooling, walking, biking and teleworking in order to improve the performance of the overall transportation network. The TDM draft includes the results of an online, voluntary, non-scientific survey conducted late last year that asked Bellevue residents, workers, employers and property managers how to encourage alternatives to driving alone. More than 1,600 people responded to the survey. Topics covered include commute programs; individualized commute planning services; finding ride matches for carpool and vanpool members and incentives for people who try alternative modes and log their trips in an online calendar. The strategies can help reduce the impact of residential and commercial growth on the transportation system, and can help people find travel alternatives during construction, such as the East Link light rail project, slated to break ground in 2016, according to a city press release. Interested persons may submit comments via email to TDMPlanComment@bellevuewa.gov or by calling 425452-7896. Comments will be incorporated into the final TDM plan. The deadline to submit comments is Monday, August 31.

County to receive $358k of nationwide Affordable Care Act disbursement BY DANIEL NASH REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
King County will be one of seven state organizations to receive more than $4.7 million in Affordable Care Act funding to open new health centers, according to an announcement from the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The county will receive more than $358,000 toward the purpose of creating access points to primary health care in underserved communities. King County Public Health will use that money to expand services at the Dutch Shisler Sobering Support Center in Seattle, a facility that offers a location for people to sleep off the effects of alcohol and drugs. With the new federal money, which will reoccur at a rate of $650,000 annually starting in 2016, the center will be able to expand services for management of mental health and chronic disease among homeless and low income populations, as well as build a partnership network with other health organizations like Neighborcare and Evergreen Treatment Services. “We’ll be able to help people recover from diseases, whether that’s addiction or diabetes or any number of those things,” said John Gilvar, the interim manager of the Health Care for the Homeless Network. “I’ve been working in this field a long time and there’s a kind of catch-22 in our system … where homeless individuals, individuals with mental health or addiction issues, they’re the least able to do the self advocacy to jump through the hoops we have in place,” he said. “The strategy for the grant is to bring those services to one place.” Other organizations across the state that
will receive funding include the Community Health Association of Spokane, Community Health of Central Washington, Mattawa Community Medical Clinic, New Health Programs Association in Chewelah, Yakima Neighborhood Health Services and Sea-Mar Community Health Center. Sea-Mar, in Seattle, will receive more than $1 million. Washington state’s new funding will be part of a nationwide $169 million disbursement announced Tuesday. The funds will be distributed by the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of HHS. Health and Human Services estimated the funds would benefit 23,000 new patients in Washington state and more than 1.2 million patients across the country. “Health centers now provide primary care to one in fourteen people living in the United States,” said Jim Macrae, the acting administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration. “These awards mean that more communities than ever can count on a health center to help meet the increasing demand for primary care.” The press office for Sen. Patty Murray, a ranking member of the U.S. Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, reported Tuesday that the senator “applauded” the announcement. “Washington state’s community health centers are helping patients get health care where and when they need it,” Murray said. “I am pleased that this new investment will ensure that even more families in our state will have access to the health care they need.” The health center funds awarded in August add to $101 million awarded nationwide in May. This story has been updated to include information from King County Public Health.

to the federal budget, Murray said she believes the wisest course of action would be a two year budget. When asked why she was hoping for another two year plan instead of a longer term budget plan, Murray responded that the budget needed to give and take
to the dynamic nature of the country and politics. “The budget’s not just about numbers– its about what we set for our priorities at the time. So, I think that longer than that would be very hard to do, and we may be missing a lot.” Both the Senate and the House of Representatives are scheduled to reconvene their legislative sessions on Sept. 8.

New soccer club offers expertise, guidance BY SHAUN SCOTT
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Enthusiasm for the game of soccer is rampant, not only worldwide, but across Western Washington. The Bellevue-based Heron Athletic Club, which offers soccer instruction to boys and girls between six and 17 years of age, is a non-profit community based club that is part of US Club Soccer and the Puget Sound Premier League. Heron, which was founded in March, currently fields a total of seven teams and is looking to expand into the future. Heron Athletic Club Vice President Rick Schroeder said there are 80 players between the seven teams and the numbers are continuing to increase. “Every day we have more and more parents calling us to get their kids signed up,” Schroeder said. “We’re hoping in the next two years to be able to field a team at every age level for both girls and boys. The reason we started this club was because of the demand in the area. Kids and parents wanted options.” Heron’s home fields consist of the International School Field and Rob-

Heron Assistant Director of Coaching Sheldon Daniel said Heron embraces the “academy” style coaching philosophy championed by many teams in Europe. “We have a philosophy here where we coach all of the kids the same way. It doesn’t matter if its boys, girls or necessarily the age group. They get the same type of training, so if I’m not here another coach and step in and lead them the exact same way. We all coach with that academy style and that is what we’re looking for. With the way we have things structured, we have ensured that all the kids have the same message all the way through,” said Daniel. Daniel, who is from Trinidad and Tobago, has coached soccer for the past 10 years. The experienced coach plans on continuing to guide youthful soccer players for years to go. “At the end of the day, seeing them get better and seeing them having fun is what it’s all about. That is why we do this,” he said.

Bulldogs’ are building a gridiron tradition BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
The sound of popping pads reverberated under the bright sunshine of a mid-August afternoon as the Eastside Bulldogs football team pushed themselves through a rigorous practice session at Bellevue High School. The Bulldogs, who are in their third year of existence as a program that competes in the Northwest Junior College Football League, are composed of players from various community colleges in the area. Bulldogs’ head coach Kevin Bouwman said each player on the roster is required to be enrolled in a minimum of five credits per semester/quarter in order to be eligible to play on the team. Bouwman encourages his players to take a full academic load, which is composed of 12 credits. The Bulldogs roster has individuals enrolled in Bellevue College, Green River Community College, Seattle Central Community College, Tacoma Community College and Highline Community College. “We have guys from different schools and classifications. We have guys who are 18 years old and fresh out of high school to guys who are 24 years old, who have kids,” Bouwman said. “It has provided an opportunity for these guys to continue on in their football careers and get back in school. The No. 1 goal is for these guys to get all of their grades and credits in order so they can transfer to four-year schools down the road. We want to make sure they are ready to go.” Eastside Bulldogs Team President Doug Darlington agreed wholeheartedly with Bouwman’s assessment. “This gives them an opportunity to be in school, play something they love and give them an avenue if they want to pursue a four-year degree and an opportunity to play ball. That is the genesis of the whole program and is why we started it,” Darlington said. The Northwest Junior College Football League, which is comprised of Eastside, Lewis & Clark, Central Sound and Everett, isn’t large enough for any of its four teams to play a complete league schedule. The Bulldogs are planning on facing
NCAA Division-III teams Linfield, George Fox and Pacific as well. Newport High School 2015 graduate Mannie Davis is grateful to have the opportunity to continue his football career. Davis, who wreaked havoc on opposing offensive lines during his high school years as a stalwart defensive end, will make the switch to slot receiver for the Bulldogs. “I started practicing with these guys in the spring once the high school track season ended. It has been great. It has given me an opportunity to have a fresh start and a clean slate,” Davis said. “The competitive level here is really high and is so much different from high school, because here you actually have to compete for starting spot while in high school that wasn’t always the case. The talent on this team is amazing. We can only get better from here.” Skyline Spartans 2015 grad Elijah Nichols said he considered playing football at Santa Barbara Community College in Southern California but instead opted to suit up for the Bulldogs. “It’s nice to stay close to home. We got a good program up here too. I think our team is going to be pretty good this year. It is going to be a lot of fun,” Nichols said. “We’re meshing really well together as a team, which makes it really fun. We have a lot of guys from different backgrounds and we’re all working together. It is really cool.” Nichols, who will play outside receiver this fall, loves the way Bouwman approaches the game from a coaching standpoint. “He is loud, aggressive and gets on us when he needs to. He is also a really chill guy but when its game-time, its game-time,” Nichols said with a smile. Interlake 2010 graduate Baidar Oweis is in his second season with the Bulldogs. The 23-year-old wide receiver said he didn’t take football as seriously as he should have during his high school days. “The Bulldogs gave me my first crack at playing after high school. I just want to take this opportunity and see how far I can go with it. I still have some juice left,” Oweis said. “My favorite route is the nine route (deep pass). I like to high point the ball and go up and catch it.”

Reaching the mountaintop BY SHAUN SCOTT
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Trying something new is difficult at times for almost everybody. Routines become the norm and doing something outside of the box is met with thoughts of trepidation. Throughout my life I have played indoor soccer, flag football, and have spent countless hours on the basketball court playing pickup games. In late July, I decided I wanted to try something new-hiking. In early August, I dialed up one of my good friends from childhood, James Martin, to see if he knew any solid hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest region. Martin hiked to the summit of Mount Saint Helens as a 12-year-old so I knew he was the person to ask. He recommended the Mount Si hiking trail in North Bend. The eight-mile roundtrip is considered moderately difficult according to various websites. I decided I wanted to tackle the challenge head on. Ironically enough, I hadn’t hiked since I made it to the top of Green Mountain in Kitsap County with Martin in 2000. On Aug. 14, Martin and I arrived at the bottom of the Mount Si trailhead. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. The word “moderate” is ambiguous and once we started walking I knew the trail was going to be very difficult for me to complete. The first two miles were grueling. My feet ached during the first mile but once my body got acclimated, the pain in my feet subsided. Once we hit the 1.8 mile mark there was a brief respite titled, the “Snag Flat” where people have the option to stop for a quick break before climbing the final 2.2 miles of the mountain. In my opinion, the final 2.2 miles of the hike were the most difficult. The route had constant switchbacks and seemed to get steeper and steeper with every step. Before we hit the 3-mile mark my upper calves began
burning immensely. A few hundred yards before the 3-mile mark some hikers coming down the mountain obviously could see how fatigued I was and made the comment “You’re almost there.” I figured there was maybe a half of a mile to go. When Martin and I saw the 3-mile marker I was stunned because another mile seemed daunting. There was no turning back though. I had to complete this trip no matter what. Once we hit the 3.5 mile mark, rain started to fall through the tree line onto the trail. The higher up the mountain we got, the colder it became and the route became more slippery. Just before the summit, there was a plethora of rocks to climb over. I have zero rock climbing experience but managed to get over the first set of rocks. The next step was titled “haystack” which is considered the ultimate summit of Mount Si. These were rocks I wasn’t willing to climb. The rain was coming down hard and this set of rocks was so steep it made the previous set of rocks I had just scaled look amateurish. Nonetheless I felt a huge sense of accomplishment as Martin and I devoured blueberry pop-tarts near the top of the mountain before making the trip back down to civilization. The jaunt down was much easier on my calves but I could feel the burn in my quadriceps as we meandered down the trail. There were many times I nearly lost my footing due to the downhill momentum and small loose rocks, but I was able to reach the flat ground unscathed. In the days following the hike, I experienced extreme soreness in my hips, calves and even shoulders. It took five days before my body felt normal again. I can’t wait to tackle another hiking trail before summer comes to an end. I may have found a new hobby in my early 30s.

Frederick Jerry Parsons, born to Perry and Esther Eberhardt Parsons December 10 1935, Saranac Lake NY passed away peacefully July 28, 2015, in Bellevue WA. In his youth, Fred excelled as a competitive skater, loved fishing, hunting, camping and the great outdoors. Perry and Esther were loving parents inspiring curiosity, imagination, passion for the arts and nature, craftsmanship, quest for learning, instilling the values of humbleness, tenacity, hard word and love of family. Fred set out and did the same for his children. Throughout his lifetime, Fred was an avid reader, history buff, philosopher and entrepreneur with interests in a wide variety of subjects. He was a prolific storyteller like his father and brother, Paul. While earning his Aeronautical Engineering degree from Rensselaer-Polytechnic Institute (RPI),Troy NY, 1958 Fred was active in AF ROTC and working at GE on rocket engines. After graduation, Boeing offered an engineering position and relocation to Seattle where he began a lifelong fulfilling career which included aerospace industry stalwarts such as Boeing, Moog, National Waterlift, LTV and Sundstrand Corp. Fred founded Interflight Services Inc.(ISI) in Bellevue, working there for the last 25 years. Fred met and married his wife Karen, in the summer of 1960. During their youth in Seattle Fred and Karen established a large group of close lifelong friends. Fred had friends from all walks of life and loved to entertain them with Karen, throwing memorable one-of-a-kind parties. Fred was a force and a colorful character. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his family, Karen (wife), children Kim (David) of Mercer Island, and grandsons Ryan, Taylor, Evan; Brett (Heather) of TX, Chris and grandchildren Seth and Brooke; Perry Parsons of ID and his brother Paul (Evie), NY. Funeral services will be held on August 22nd at 1:00 pm at Lake View Cemetery, in Seattle, followed by a gathering of friends and family. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Salvation Army or any Mission for the homeless, or Pap Haven of WA (Papillion rescue). 1394544

CARJACKING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
not get out of his car, telling the driver “you’re coming with me”. The driver later told police he was scared for his life and feared that if he was taken, Sanders would hurt or kill him or others with his vehicle. Upon seeing Sanders attempt to steal other cars near her, one woman grabbed her infant child and fled the scene, moments before the defendant approached her vehicle. While trying to enter her car, Sanders managed to pull the driver’s door handle off of the car and attempted to break the window by kicking it and hitting it with his bare fist. During the incident, Sanders is reported to have been yelling and claiming he was “the messiah” and “Jesus,” according to court documents. Upon arriving on the scene, police found Sanders being held down by four bystanders. He was transported to Overlake Hospital by police after complaining of pain in his arm from being held down. According to court documents, Sanders had
been released from jail the day before on assault and malicious mischief charges. He also has a substantial criminal history, including convictions for robbery in the first degree, assault in the fourth degree, two violations of a domestic violence protection order, and other charges. Additionally, according to court services, 23 warrants for the defendant’s arrest have been issued since 2001. Sanders was charged on Tuesday, Aug. 18 with three counts of attempted robbery in the second degree and attempted theft of a motor vehicle. The investigation is still ongoing, so DUI and hitand-run charges could be added at a later date. Bail was set at $250,000, citing his danger to the community and a high risk for failing to appear at mandated court appearances. “We wanted to file the current charges and get the higher bail, which we did, to keep him in custody,” said Dan Donohoe, spokesperson for the King County prosecutor’s office. Arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 31 at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 1201 of the King County Courthouse.
SCHOOLS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
percent and math scores of 80 and 87 percent, respectively. Both schools did see score increases over the previous school year. Statistics for the four elementary schools are available online at http://tinyurl.com/pnbusuu. “We have made progress toward meeting Washington State’s rigorous standards for learning and we will continue intentional and innovative steps to address each student’s academic achievement,” the letter to parents of students from both schools stated. For the 2015-2016 school year, the Bellevue School District received $1,764,960 in Title I Funds. In Bellevue, the federal Title I funding and statefunded Learning Assistance Program (LAP) dollars are used on facilitators, reading intervention teachers, professional development, parent involvement, materials and support classes in the middle schools. This was the first year that Sherwood Forest Elementary and Odle Middle School failed to meet the AYP. It was the fourth or fifth time that Lake Hills and Stevenson Elementary and Highland Middle School failed to meet the standard. Although the Department
of Education declined to renew the waiver 18 months ago, this was the first year that Washington school districts were required to send out letters. Superintendents have long opposed the decision. Bellevue School District Superintendent Dr. J. Tim Mills joined superintendents from 27 other districts in the Puget Sound Educational Service District last year in signing a letter opposing the U.S. Department of Education’s decision not to renew the State of Washington’s
conditional Elementary and Secondary Education Act Flexibility Waiver. “The label of “failing” schools is regressive and punitive, as nearly every Washington school will not meet the NCLB Requirements. Some of our state’s and districts’ most successful and highly recognized schools are now being labeled “failing” by an antiquated law that most educators and elected officials – as well as the U.S. Department of Education – acknowledge isn’t working,” the letter read.
August 21, 2015 [15] As the Reporter previously reported, while many Washington school districts depend heavily on Title I funding, Mills said Bellevue’s share is fairly minimal, given about 21-22 percent of students in the district receive free or reduced meals. He added the district had not received a clear answer whether it can opt out of Title I funding at that time. “We may not have the option to opt out, however,” he said. “… Right now, these are the rules that we need to abide by.”
