� e King County Prosecutor’s O� ce � led a second-degree murder with a deadly weapon charge against a 53-year-old Bel-levue man Wednesday, three days a� er his aunt was found dead inside an apartment they shared in downtown.

Bellevue Police arrested Mark J. Irwin early Monday morning a� er being dis-

patched to a unit at the Twelve Central Square apartments the night be-fore a� er another family member found his aunt, Barbara Irwin, dead and covered with a sheet. � e family member went to her apartment Sunday

night a� er failing to reach her by phone, using a ladder to access the unit from an

unlocked sliding door on the deck.A police report states Barbara Irwin, 72,

had the back of her skull caved in. Detec-tives found a claw hammer in the laundry room, which had been recently cleaned, but tested positive for blood. It is believed to be the murder weapon.

Irwin was found with blood and scratches on his body sitting in his aunt’s car about 100 yards from her residence, according to the police report. A man with

Irwin in the car allegedly told o� cers the two men had smoked crack earlier in the day. Irwin told authorities he’d gone to Seattle to smoke crack, was robbed and later came home on a bus. He said he didn’t have a key to his aunt’s apartment, and slept in the lobby. A family member told police his wife had spoken to Mark Irwin earlier when he answered his aunt’s cellphone, and

� e Bellevue City Council put its best o� er on the table Monday night to acquire contentious property rights needed to extend Northeast Fourth Street to 120th Avenue Northeast. Mayor Claudia Balducci opposed the o� er in order to send a message that she feels the o� er goes "too far" a� er Best Buy and another property owner repeatedly demanded more money from the city.

A transportation project of major importance to several others in the Wilburton and Bel-Red areas of the city, councilmembers conceded extending Northeast Fourth from 116th to 120th avenues northeast was the linchpin project that couldn't be scrapped. And, a� er lengthy legal mitigation, the council put out an o� er to Bellevue 116th Property LLC and Best Buy for $6.2 million and $12.84 million, respectively.

A new � ve-lane arterial Northeast Fourth is planned to cut through the south end of the Best Buy store and park-ing lot during Phase Two of the project, slated to start in 2015 with the entire roadway opened by fall 2016.

� e city is exercising eminent domain to run its trans-portation project through a portion of the Best Buy store, however, the retail company also � led suit over the city's actions.

� e Northeast Fourth extension, from where it ends at 116th Avenue Northeast to 120th Avenue Northeast, is part of several projects to improve mobility between down-town Bellevue, the Bel-Red corridor and Overlake area.

When Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo started her 35-year career in law enforcement as an o� cer in Mercer Island in 1979, it was still odd for people to see a woman on the force — there wasn't even a women's locker room.

"I just always took my uniform and went to the restroom," said Pillo during her retirement party Tuesday at City Hall. "I remember having to convince citizens that I was a real po-lice o� cer." She added the tickets she issued always got the point across.

A� er joining the Bellevue Police Department in 1986, Pillo steadily rose up the ranks, becoming the � rst female police chief in 2007. She was also the � rst female captain, major and deputy chief.

"She was pretty much the � rst wom-an going up every rank starting at ser-geant," said Mayor Claudia Balducci during Tuesday's retirement party. "… We have just a really safe city and a great (police) department, and for the past seven years that's been under the leadership of Chief Pillo."

City Manager Brad Miyake said Pillo has always been an advocate for her department, refusing to com-promise on the quality of service it provides. She was also an intimidating

force when Miyake was still acting as city budget manager.

As Puget Sound Energy continues community engagement for its Energize Eastside project, running 18 miles of trans-mission lines from Redmond to Renton, a group in the Somerset neighborhood of Bellevue isn’t buying the company’s claim that it’s for the betterment of the people.

PSE proposes to run the transmis-sion lines on either of two routes through mostly public right of way (See map) and in areas where older 115 kilovolt lines already exist, replacing them with 230 kilovolt lines.

Bellevue is currently running on a system that was put in place in the 1960s, said Andy Wappler, PSE vice president of corporate a�airs. But that was when there were about 50,000 residents on the Eastside and not the 300,000 today, or the 275 per-cent growth of central business in Bellevue projected by 2040.

Wappler said 2014 will be spent conduct-ing public engagement, which includes a community advisory group.

“It’s to serve Bellevue and the rest of the community and our customers,” said Wappler of Energize Eastside. “ So, to have people involved and to know about it is a good thing.”

But the Somerset Community Associa-tion argues the demand for more energy on the Eastside is being in�ated by PSE to satisfy another agenda.

“�e line shouldn’t be built because we should be doing things on the conserva-tion side,” said Todd Anderson, chairman for the Somerset Community Association technical committee.

Anderson, who holds a masters degree

in electrical engineering, contends the $155-$288 million that would go into the project could provide enough conservation measures to negate the need for the project.

Wappler said increased conservation remains integral to PSE’s future plans, but it can’t “save your way out of the problem” by itself. �e company recently submitted to the state its 2014-15 conservation plan, which he said includes $105 million in grants and rebates to customers, including busi-nesses and property develop-ers.

Energy e�ciency projects explored by PSE included solar panels on Eastside roo�ops, which Wappler said would generate power at the wrong peak times. �e company also considered storage of 400 “shipping-container sized” batteries to the Eastside for an on-demand power source, but that created the problem of where to locate them and the $6 million price tag per battery, he said.

PSE also explored whether a new natural gas-�red electric generator plant would be a good �t on the Eastside, said Wappler, but that also required a larger natural gas pipeline to be run through the area.

Anderson said the increased capacity need seems more for the bene�t of Canada, which receives power through the North-ern Intertie, and signi�cantly more than the Eastside during peak energy demand in the winter.

Operating at 100 percent conservation, PSE assumed 2013-14 winter demand at 652 megawatts for the Eastside and 1,500 megawatts for the Northern Intertie, ac-cording to its Eastside Needs Assessment. �e amount predicted for Canada exports remains the same in its 2021-22 projections

factoring in extreme weather and rises to 756 megawatts for the Eastside.

�e needs assessment also points out Bonneville Power is making commit-ments to the Northern Intertie for 2,300 megawatts of electricity that includes 200 megawatts on the east side of the Intertie at Nelway. “�erefore in the ten-year summer cases this �ow will increase to 2,300 MW to

cover the additional commit-ments that are being made on the Northern Intertie includ-ing the 200 MW on the east side of the tie at Nelway,” the document states.

Wappler said regional reliability is good, but a small part of the Energize Eastside project.

“It appears there may be some other agenda going

on,” said Steve O’Donnell, president of the Somerset Community Association and its representative on PSE’s community advi-sory group, later adding, “We’re not exactly sure what the other agendas are.”

While Anderson argues the demand for more energy over the next several decades isn’t what PSE says it will be is the reason to �ght Energize Eastside, O’Donnell adds the visual impact of poles that go with the lines is another big reason to oppose the project.

“We don’t want industrial blight running through our neighborhoods,” O’Donnell said, adding he’s calling on Bellevue coun-cilmembers to make good on their cam-paign promises to preserve the integrity of the city’s many neighborhoods.

Wappler said the poles used for the proj-ect will be 90-125 feet tall and current poles are around 70 feet in height. An alternative

Former Bellevue Police Chief Jim Montgomery has come out of retirement to replace Chief Linda Pillo following her own

retirement from the city this week a� er a 35-year career in law enforce-ment.

Montgomery served as police chief here for 10 years, retiring in 2007. Pillo, who became Bel-levue's � rst female police chief when she succeeded

Montgomery as interim chief in 2007, then chief in 2008, retired on Tuesday, April 15.

In his 43 years in law enforcement, Montgomery previously served seven years as King County sheri� and � ve years as po-lice chief in Boise. He oversaw completion of Bellevue's state-of-the-art police station during City Hall construction.

According to an internal city memo sent by City Manager Brad Miyake to sta� last Friday, April 4, Montgomery, 70, will

assume the role of interim police chief for 6-9 months while a nationwide search for a permanent chief continues. He will rejoin the ranks of the Bellevue Police Depart-ment once he has completed required examinations to be reinstated as a peace o� cer in the state of Washington.

"Chief Montgomery brings two critical things to this assignment — stability and experience," states Miyake. "He knows our community, having served as the city’s police chief from 1997 to 2007. Chief Montgomery is looking forward to coming back to Bellevue to lead our top-notch police department.

"It’s been nearly seven years since he was at the helm of Bellevue Police Department, and he will no doubt rely heavily on the department’s two deputy chiefs to run the day to day operations. I do expect that he will look at the current and future needs of the department through a di� erent lens. � is fresh perspective will be invaluable to the recruitment and assessment processes."

Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; [email protected]

her leg and showed her gun on her ankle," joked Miyake.

Pillo said she plans to spend her retire-ment as a snow bird, spending part of her time in Palm Springs and working on her golf game. Her last act as chief during her speech to law enforcement, city sta� and family and friends on Tuesday was to turn o� her cellphone, saying she is no longer on call. Former Police Chief Jim Montgomery is coming out of retirement to replace her temporarily as a nationwide search for a permanent chief continues. He starts once he is recerti� ed as a peace o� cer in Wash-ington state.

Pillo was recognized Tuesday by the FBI and Secret Service for her dedica-tion to law enforcement, and was also gi� ed her past police badges in a picture frame by the Bellevue Police Benevolent

Foundation, which hosted the event. Pillo thanked her family, friends, mentors and the command sta� at the police depart-ment she says will continue to serve the city well.

"I know the department is in such good hands," she said.

Bellevue Police o� cer � redOne of Linda Pillo’s � nal acts as Bellevue police chief

was to � re an o� cer Wednesday following an internal investigation into his conduct during a November tra� c stop where he let a fellow o� cer o� the hook for allegedly driving under the in� uence.

� e department announced the � ring of Ofc. Doug Brennan, who pulled over fellow Bellevue Ofc. Andrew Hanke on Nov. 20 a� er observing a Jeep Cherokee swerv-ing eastbound on I-90.

Rather than arrest Hanke, Brennan reports he called the o� cer’s wife to pick him up. Brennan reports Hanke’s wife arrived and drove her husband home in his vehicle while the o� cer waited with her vehicle until she returned to reclaim it. During this time, Brennan reports notifying two Bellevue Police lieutenants about Hanke’s drunk driving.

� is prompted an internal investigation into both of-� cers and a DUI charge for Hanke in Issaquah Municipal Court. He resigned in January. According to a news release from the BPD, Brennan’s actions violated department policies, including code of ethics, alternatives to arrest and con� nement and false information.

Brennan has been with the department since 1999 and had been on administrative leave since Feb. 4.

Bellevue restaurant closed againBellevue Indian restaurant Anjappar Chettinad was

closed today for the second time in the past 18 days by King County Public Health for what it alleges are more of the same food safety violations that led to its � rst closure.

� e restaurant, located at 14625 N.E. 24th St., was closed at 3 p.m. April 15 for keeping potentially hazardous food

at unsafe temperatures, inadequate heating and cooling equipment, poor personal hygiene practices and failure to correct repeated violations, according to Public Health.

Anjappar Chettinad was closed March 28 for the same violations and allowed to open on March 31 a� er an inspector con� rmed issues were resolved, but a follow-up inspection on Tuesday led to the restaurant’s closure.

Community RoundupWhat’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere

BY MATT PHELPSREPORTER NEWSPAPERS

One of the most hotly contested races in the state has been brewing between former Kirkland mayor Joan McBride and Sen. Rodney Tom for his 48th Legislative

District seat. But that political battle un-expectedly came to an end this week.

Tom, D-Medina, announced that he would not seek re-election because of personal and family-related issues.

“Since the end of session, I have con-tinued to work through some health is-sues, but the main reason for my decision is my 85-year-old father who was hit by a car last week while walking in a grocery store parking lot," Tom said. "He's going to require a lot of physical therapy over the next several months and I'm the only son who lives close to him."

� e district includes the northern portion of Bellevue along with Medina, Clyde Hill, the Points communities and a portion of Kirkland and Redmond.

Tom, 50, became a political lightning rod last year when he chose to caucus with Republicans in the Majority Coalition Caucus, giving the Republicans control of the Senate. Tom, a two-term senator, began his career as a Republican and later switched parties to become a Democrat.

Tom's departure opens up a door for McBride, who has already raised more than $60,000.

McBride said that she continues to gain endorsements from around the area, including Rep. Ross Hunter and Rep. Cyrus Habib from the 48th District, along with many mayors and key council members.

E D I T O R I A L

Tom again makes right choice for right reasonThe announcement that Sen. Rodney Tom of Medina

will not seek re-election to the Legislature certainly jump-started the political season. Tom, a Democrat,

already was facing a challenge in his own party from Kirk-land Mayor Joan McBride.

� at wasn’t surprising since many Democrats were livid that Tom became the Senate Majority Leader when he and another Democratic senator joined with the Republicans to give them control of the Senate.

While Tom stepped down as a Democrat, he once was a Republican. � at ability to see the good in both political outlooks probably is more in tune with most voters. True-believers may run the parties, but they don’t speak for the majority of people in this state. � at’s one of the reasons voters approved a Top Two primary system.

Republicans won’t want to admit it, but Tom was right to switch to the Democratic Party some years ago. � e GOP was stubborn on social issues that over time put them at odds with the majority of people in this state. Likewise, the Democrats have too o� en shown that they are far too will-ing to raise taxes to promote social programs that, while admirable, aren’t a� ordable. Tom, to his credit, wouldn’t go along and thus the Senate coalition was born.

What’s unfortunate is that the political polarization that has hobbled Congress for several years is showing some of those symptoms here, too. To say it’s unhealthy is an understatement.

Tom is stepping down for personal, not political reasons. His 85-year-old father reacently was hit by a car while walking in the grocery store parking lot (in a crosswalk with his cane). Tom is the only son who lives in the area to help him him with his recovery. “I have always said that health and family are my number one values, and instead of that being merely a campaign slogan, I really do try to live by them,” Tom told his Senate colleagues,

As he has many times in the past, Tom is making the right decision for the right reason. We’ll miss that in Olympia.

Question of the week:

BY CYRUS HABIB AND JANE HAGUE

Your vote on Proposition 1 directly impacts Eastside transportation options for workers and stu-

dents. Metro transit provides essential mobility connections to jobs, education and health care for thou-sands who live and work on the Eastside.

As elected o� cials, we hear � rst-hand from our constituents about their dependence on Metro. Transit and roads cross party lines and jurisdictional boundaries as shown by the support of 20 mayors across the county, a unanimous King County Council vote and 200 organi-zations representing business, labor, social services and education.

And, if we value education, we should

also value access to education. Whether a student has just graduated from high school or is retraining to build a better life for his or her family, nearly one-third of students at Bellevue College use transit as their primary means of getting to school. Yet, without funding to replace revenues that are expiring this year, Metro may soon be forced to reduce bus service for those students. Routes serving students at UW Bothell, Cascadia College, and Lake Washington Technical College are all fac-ing cuts as well.

Metro transit cuts already have been made through legislation. Without this replacement funding, Metro will have no choice but to cut over one-third of its routes and leave thousands of our neigh-bors, seniors, students, disabled riders and working families stranded. Upwards of 75 percent of bus riders will be a� ected by these cuts.

� rough its 400,000 daily rides, Metro also takes cars o� of Eastside streets and across the county. We have a � scal responsibility to take care of our infra-structure. If the public does not pass

Proposition 1 on April 22, as many as 18 of the 22 bus routes serving Bellevue would have to be eliminated, reduced or revised to meet budgetary cuts. Our resi-dents take more than 30,000 trips every day on these bus routes.

But Proposition 1 isn’t just about buses. Across

the county and in our cities, there is an estimated $1.3 billion backlog of thousands of miles of roadway mainte-nance and safety repairs for hundreds of bridges. Every $1 in repair we spend to � x a road today saves us $6 to$14 in replacement costs later.

We are proud to repre-sent the Eastside – a region

known for its creativity, independence and generos-ity. We value this reputation and we value our economic growth. In state and county government, we are pre-pared to do our part. We are dedicated to ongoing e� -ciencies in Metro operations and to passing a statewide transportation package that will complete the SR 520 bridge replacement and increase capacity along the I-405 corridor. Proposition

1 is about preserving what we’ve got while we work to improve the bigger, regional transportation picture.

No one likes tra� c. Most of us don’t like paying more taxes. Yet, we all want and need safe, a� ordable and reliable transportation options. Proposition 1 is about protecting access to

educational opportunities, connections to jobs and our quality of life. Vote “yes” to keep our region moving forward.

The very � rst Earth Day was April 22, 1970. Established as a day of awareness, people back then undoubtedly saw a di� erent set

of hopes and conditions than we do today. Simply put, the earth was indeed di� erent. It was on the

leading edge of a turn in human behavior, a turn for the better.

In 1970, Bellevue was a city of only 60,000 residents. Cherry Crest Elementary and Borghild Ringdall Middle School had just opened and a study by engi-neers, botanists, biologists and the state Fisheries Department showed that Mercer Slough was su� ering from siltation and o� -season � ooding.

Back then, words like “environment” and “sustainable” were not yet the triggers for planet stewardship that they are today. Even the notion of “being green” has evolved rap-idly from birth to a place where it is about to be re-

born as something new and rejuvenating — some-thing once again groundbreaking that reinforces our resolve, our commitment to the planet.

Earth Day today is both a re� ection of where we’ve been and where we are headed. Bellevue will soon begin a new and comprehensive waste and recycling contract with Republic Services. Multifamily residents will soon have ready access to food scrap composting. Commercial customers will have unlimited recycling included in their gar-bage rate. Reducing waste and recycling more are foundational elements in what we hope becomes renewed attention and care for the environment. Today, we can look in the mirror at a re� ection that is 44 years older and wiser, knowing that this direc-tion is the right course.

Over the years, Republic Services’ mission has been steadfast, our sights always set on what lies beyond the horizon in terms of new technology and innovation that we will apply to help preserve our natural resources and better the communities we serve. � e byproduct of our e� orts has been a

major source of renewable, clean energy, local jobs and strengthened partnerships that have helped lead to industry � rsts in waste reduction and recycling.

Our goal is to one day look back at where we have been and to see the strides we have made without any footprints on the environment.

� e health of our planet ultimately rests in our hands. Together, with the residents of Bellevue, and the sta� and infrastructure that make Republic the community and environmental partner it is today, Earth Day 2014 holds tremendous promise for a better planet for generations to come.

� is Earth Day, please renew your pledge to the environment and your commitment to reduce, re-use and recycle. Help us make every day Earth Day.

Je� Borgida is general manager of Republic

Services in Bellevue.

I never feel old. Never, that is, unless faced with troubleshooting a tech problem, learning how to use a new tech tool, or

testing out a new app. In those situations I become ancient. Technology is the reason I have furrows in my forehead.

Here are a few examples of my tech trials.

Two months ago my home Wi-Fi connection disappeared. One techie, who should have known what was going on, told me the problem lay with the Comcast modem. My husband, who shouldn’t have known, because his expertise lies in trouble-shooting problems with

17th century musical instruments, insisted it was the router. I turned to Comcast for help and spent more than an hour explaining the problem and answering questions via chat support only to be disconnected when the server failed.

When the server recovered I saw that my tech support person had signed o� , even though I had remained faithful during the outage. I felt as rejected as a teenager whose prom date � nds a better catch a week before the big dance.

At that moment I considered using Wi-Fi

at the library or Starbucks and forgetting it at home altogether. Miraculously, the problem was solved when the techie who should have known better decided my husband, who had gone ahead and installed a new router, was right and we just needed to push the reset button. Duh.

A few weeks ago a younger friend taught me how to use Instagram. I asked her how she � gured it out. She said she spent a couple of hours reading about it on her desktop computer before trying it on her phone. � ose are hours I wouldn’t have wanted to spend, though I’m glad she did. I was able to post an Instagrammed photo to Facebook. My excitement lasted only as long as it took me to realize that on Instagram you’re supposed to follow other photogra-phers, so you can receive dozens of photos hourly on your phone. All I wanted was to make my pictures look old-fashioned and put a frame around them.

Recently, I traded in my old smart phone. Within minutes I’d inadvertently made it clear to the Verizon salespeople that I was clueless about most of the features of the old phone. So why did I need a new one?

Recently I whined about my technology failures to a friend and asked him whether my problems could be solved by turning a teenager loose in the house. Having had two at home years earlier, he suggested I might be better o� facing my technology challenges on my own.

� e city's o� er expires on May 5, and Councilmember John Chelminiak said he's not going to negotiate further. Every time the city thought it was close to a resolution for property rights, said Chel-miniak, the property owners wanted a more substantial o� er — the most recent coming in a half hour before the council was to meet in executive session to dis-cuss the legal matter on Monday.

"I want to make it very, very clear," said Chelminiak. "I'm done. We've been through this enough."

Balducci said she is also done and op-posed the o� er. She said it wasn't because she doesn't share the council's desire to � nish the Northeast Fourth project, but that it was too much — grant funding for the project would be used to cover settle-

ment costs. � e motion was approved by a 6-1 vote.

"I want to go on record to say that we've gone too far," the mayor said, adding how odd the occasion was that they went through so many executive sessions and took up the issue in such a fashion that night. "It's crazy what we've had to do on this project."

� e city already has granted Best Buy conditional approval to remodel its storefront to make way for the ongoing Northeast Fourth Street extension project and recover lost retail and parking space.

Best Buy will demolish 11,021 square feet of retail space on the south side of its Bellevue store and add 9,964 square feet to its north side. � e store will add a single-story parking garage on its east side to accommodate up to 226 vehicles.

she suspected he was back on drugs.Investigators documented a messy apart-

ment, inconsistent with family accounts of Barbara Irwin’s tidiness. Financial docu-ments and credit cards were found piled on the kitchen counter, couch and other areas of the apartment. Irwin was found next to her bed, which had sponges and cleaners on top. Blood-covered bedding was found stacked away from the door. Police reported this made it unlikely a stranger killed Bar-bara Irwin.

During an interview with detectives following his arrest, Irwin claimed not to

know about his aunt’s death, but stated he needed a lawyer if she had been hurt. Irwin’s bail was set at $2 million in King County District Court on Tuesday. He is scheduled for arraignment 8:30 a.m. April 29.

School district sees benefit of HUB 400


David Yunger knows his HUB 400 zero-client might not be a hit with computer manufacturers, but he isn’t hearing many complaints from customers who are saving money by using his USB over Ethernet device to operate mul-tiple workstations through a single computer.

A former Microso� employee who now works with the com-puter company, the GreenBridge Computing CEO said it all started when Microso� committed to help-ing provide computer labs in Haiti following the devastating earth-quake there in 2010. Yunger was part of the team that implemented 40 school projects in Haiti, which included long-range Wi-Fi, solar

power and digital access using a Windows MultiPoint Server to cre-ate a network of computer worksta-tions using one computer for its so� ware and processing power.

“We went down to Haiti with our � rst server in a suitcase, a few serv-ers in our suitcase,” said Yunger. “� ose kids are just excited, and

they’re � red up about stu� we all take for granted.”

Wanting to expand the use of technology through cost-saving techniques in classrooms, Yunger’s HUB 400 zero-client works with Multipoint, with the lightweight

Kemper Development places helistop request on holdBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Kemper Development Company has opted to place its request to use single-engine helicopters at its downtown Bellevue landing pad on hold to address safety concerns brought forth by the city following last month’s fatal crash in Seattle.

A letter submitted by KDC’s legal counsel to the city land use director on April 4 states this was one of two options placed on the table by city legal planner Catherine Drews for addressing concerns about the safety of single-engine helicopters like the the one that crashed in Seattle during takeo� from the KOMO TV Heliport on March 18.

Kemper was advised to either withdraw its application to modify its 2011 conditional use permit, which only allows twin-engine choppers, or place its request on hold until an investigation into the Seattle crash is concluded by the National Transportation Safety Board.

� e helistop was constructed in 1988 and was granted tempo-rary permits for limited landings at that time. Kemper applied for permitting in 2009, which prompted two years of study, multiple public hearings, hearing examiner appeals and decisions before the council approved a conditional use permit in May 2011. � at decision was challenged in King County Superior Court and up-held by a judge in November of that year.

Kemper will be expected to provide the city with information supporting the safety of single-engine turbine helicopters from the

Federal Aviation Administration, NTSB, state or other federal agencies and nongovernment research organi-zations.

According to the city’s weekly permit bulletin, Bellevue sta� believe safety information from the NTSB’s investigation into the March 18 crash will be relevant to its review of the KDC request.

� e letter submitted by KDC’s legal counsel comes one day a� er com-ments on behalf of local philanthro-

pist Ina Tateuchi opposing the CUP modi� cation were submitted to the city.

Tateuchi, who opposed the original CUP and was part of a number of petitioners who appealed the council’s decision in 2011, reiterated arguments that expert testimony at that time was that a single-engine helicopter would have no way of preventing a serious accident should it stall, unlike a twin-engine chopper.

“� erefore, as noted previously, Mrs. Tateuchi reserves all rights should the City persist in its current unlawful course,” her comments state.

She states her strong opposition to

eliminating conditions recommended by the city hearing examiner at the time and imposed by the City Coun-cil. Prior to KDC putting its request on hold, the modi� cation decision would have been made by the land use director through a code interpre-tation.

“� e sta� ’s willingness to entertain the condition and expedite it as a sta� amendment is equally disap-pointing to a public counting on City regulators for protection from harm,” Tateuchi states in her comments.

Bellevue Marriott to cater to Gen Y crowdBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A construction crew on Wednesday topped o� the 17-story Marriott hotel being constructed on 110th Avenue Northeast and slated to open this fall. General Manager Rob Morgan says this Marri-ott is a new direction for the hotel chain that will cater to the Generation Y crowd.

“� e design of this hotel is so far from what a Mar-riott is, it’s unbelievable,” said Morgan. “Our design is

inspired by the new Marriott guest room concept. … It’s kind of an urban residential lifestyle design. � at’s the guest room itself. It is also obviously very tech heavy, where your mobile devices will be able to work on the televisions.”

Once completed, the Marriott Bellevue Hotel will also include a spacious lobby meant for congregating for business or pleasure, with a large bar, media centers and a restaurant to focus on Paci� c Northwest cuisine, said Morgan.

“It works well for the type of clientele that we’re dealing with, and the bar becomes a big feature,” Morgan said.

� e idea is that a number of Generation Y guests at the hotel will be there for business and like having the ability to work from any spot within the hotel and its 384 rooms.

� e hotel is expected to start � lling its rooms on Oct. 8 and will start taking reser-vations in two weeks.

“Right now, everything looks really good to reach that timeline,” said Morgan.

device plugging in to the back of a main computer and using Ethernet or USB to create a MultiPoint net-work of up to 20 worksta-tions using one server.

“It’s the magic of the two that makes this work so well,” said Yunger. “� is is just basically a passthrough over Ethernet, and that’s what keeps (costs) low.”

� e HUB 400 zero-client sells for just under $100, and is currently being used in all elementary schools and some labs through-out the Bellevue School District — Yunger has three children in the school

district. � e district uses six workstations per Multi-Point Server.

“It gets the operating costs per seat down by a divider of about two, so it’s pretty economical,” said Carl Sweetland, director of technology for BSD.

� at savings allows the school district to buy up more computers and lap-tops, in general, Sweetland said, which is great when many districts across the state are struggling for capi-tal. One downside is that

if the server goes down, it takes all six workstations with it. GreenBridge rec-ommends running a back-up PC through the HUB.

� e district is using the device in its elementary school classes, and in labs in elementary, middle and high schools.

“My sense is that most companies in this space hate it because they see it as cannibalizing their core business, which is selling computers,” said Yunger from the Microso� campus

on Monday, April 7. � e response to the Hub

400 zero-client’s capabilities has gained enough traction that it’s being marketed outside of the educational realm and at businesses, the most recent being an exploration of its potential use by airlines. It is also be-ing used by many Micro-so� Technology Centers globally.

“� is all leverages the Cloud,” Yunger said, “so you can have whatever you want.”

THUNDERBIRDS HOCKEY

Opening Night September 20th, 2014!

(Left to right) Seniors Chandler Hawk, Brady Carlson and Brad Klustner, along with the injured Cal Neely (not pictured), have been the leaders for Bellevue and coach Pete Wiklinson in 2014. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue head coach Pete Wilkinson knew there would be a learning curve for his young baseball team this season.

� e Wolverines entered the year with only four seniors on the roster, and proceeded to lose three of their � rst � ve games of the year.

But despite the early setbacks, which also included an injury to one of those seniors, Wilkinson’s faith never wavered.

“We’re not real experienced anywhere,” he said. “But they are resilient, and they learn like crazy.”

Some of those lessons were learned the hard way over the � rst weeks of the season, as a tie against crosstown Newport highlighted the non-conference schedule.

But against 2A/3A KingCo foes, the tide has quickly turned in the Wolverines’ favor.

A 10-0 win over Sammamish got things started, before Bellevue took games from Lake Washington and Juanita. Interlake entered last week’s showdown as a fellow front-runner in the conference, and jumped on top 3-0 a� er the � rst inning.

But Bellevue whittled away at the lead, eventually tying the game in the top of the seventh and winning 5-3 in extra innings to stay perfect in conference play.

Senior Brady Carlson said a� er losing two winner-to-state games last year, the focus for this year’s group was building a togetherness that could carry them through rough stretches.

“We just had the will to win,” he said of the game against the Saints. “We just stuck with it and stayed positive.”

� e Class of 2014 may not boast the top-shelf talent of last year’s seniors, which featured current University of Washington out� elder Jack Meggs. But Wilkinson and

Carlson said � nding a cohesion that runs from the dugout to the � eld and back is far more critical than a roster full of potential dra� choices.

“� e culture in the dugout wasn’t what it is this year,” Carlson said, noting a more sel� ess approach this time around. “It’s awesome to see a small senior class push the younger guys, help each other out and get our team goals.”

Halfway through the KingCo season, those goals appear to be coming into focus.

Bellevue is 5-0 in league play, and faced a Wednesday game against last place Liberty a� er the Reporter’s deadline.

� e Wolverines travel to Island Crest Park to face Mercer Island Friday, before beginning the second run through the league April 21 against the Totems.

Bellevue’s boys lacrosse team, still unbeaten in Washington state play and atop the conference standings, began its annual Spring Break trip to the East coast Wednesday.

� e Wolverines got things started with a 12-8 win over St. Stephens & St. Agnes School, as Hank Bethke scored six goals to pace the o� ense.

Campbell Alexie� , Joe Bethke and Ryan Eastes each scored two goals for Bellevue and Hank Bethke also contributed a pair of assists.

Another Virginia prep squad got a taste of Wash-ington’s best � ursday, as the Wolverines came back with another win, 12-6 over Langley.

A 15-4 win over Do-minion on the campus of the University of Virginia concluded their on-� eld exploits on the trip, and the team is also watched two of the nation’s top collegiate programs face o� , as Duke visited UVA.

In their last game before the break, Eric Haehl

scored three goals to lead his team to a 9-4 win over Lake Washington.

Cole Cansler, a senior goalie, � nished with 10 saves in that win.

� e Wolverines didn’t miss a beat in their return to Washington prep play, dominating a match with Liberty in a 17-0 win.

Joe and Hank Bethke each scored four goals in the victory, and Bellevue faces West Linn (Oregon) Saturday before taking on Issaquah next week.

NSI travels to Colorado for team lacrosse trip

Newport Sammamish Interlake took its boys lacrosse team out of state for Spring Break as well, playing three games in Colorado.

NSI lost its � rst two games by one goal each, falling 7-6 to Cherokee Trail and 10-9 to Smokey Hill, before falling 14-0 to Chat� eld in the � nal game of the trip.

Michelle Lui rede� nes the look of a champion. Whether the Forest Ridge senior is talking with team-

mates before a match against Annie Wright School, hitting warmup shots with her opponent, or even a� er losing a point, Lui sports the same look and comportment about her deceivingly powerful frame.

But rather than the intensely focused scowl that has become ubiquitous with competition, Lui, the three-time defending 1A girls singles state champion, wears an ear-to-ear grin that lights up whatever court, classroom or group she is part of.

“She is always smiling,” said Forest Ridge athletic direc-tor Kim Eng, who has known Lui since she was a middle-schooler at Bellevue’s only all-girls Catholic school. “She is quiet, so you don’t realize there is this killer tennis player inside her.”

Class 1A foes have been � rsthand witnesses to Lui’s abil-ity to � ip the switch on the court, o� en with overwhelming results.

Also an accomplished club tennis player ranked in the Paci� c Northwest region of the United States Tennis Asso-

ciation, Lui owns a perfect record on the prep court during her three-plus seasons. � at includes every league, district and 1A state championship match she has competed in, many of them ending in straight sets. � is season, she tries to become only the third player in Class 1A history to win four state singles championships on the prep court, joining Liz Lewis of Bush School and Erica Perkins from Univer-sity Prep.

But for the e� ervescent star of an emerging giant in small-school girls tennis, it is about more than the results.

“I love that team aspect,” she said. “It has been so fun to see the progress we’ve made each year.”

Part of that progress has been bringing home state championships, which Eng and coach Jason Price has only increased the visibility of the sport among the current student body, as well as with prospective students.

“We have a really amazing thing going on,” Price said. “It’s just unbelievable to watch and be part of this.”

� e Ravens have a host of players who look like con-tenders for district and state tournament spots this season, including Olivia Cero, sisters and doubles partners Ti� anie and Christina Chai, and freshman standout Sasha Cay-ward.

Cayward, who has played club tennis with Lui since their

youth, said she sees the three-time defending state cham-pion as a role model on and o� the court.

“I’ve been looking forward to this since sixth grade,” she said of joining the high school team with Lui. “It’s been a life-changing thing.”

� e last thing for Lui is to � nish her � nal season with an-other trophy, and the Seattle University bound senior said if she were forced to choose between another individual crown or a team title, it would be no contest.

“I would say the team, for sure,” she said. “We’ve worked so hard, I don’t see why we can’t win state this year.”

Forest Ridge’s Lui set for final act

around, Bellevue is taking nothing for granted, and will continue to rely on Carlson and fellow senior Chandler Hawk down the stretch.

“� ey have been the leaders, and the kids have followed them because there is so much respect, and that respect is earned,” he said. “Brady and Chandler have basically

taken hold of the team and said, ‘� is is the way we do it here.’”

Fellow senior Brad Klustner, whom Wilkinson tabbed the bullpen captain, has made one appearance on the mound and allowed only a single hit in seven innings. Cal Neely entered the season as the team’s top pitcher, and was also in the middle of the batting order before su� ering an injury.

“He has been absolutely splendid in his ability to counsel players and get over the obvious hurt,” Wilkinson said. “He didn’t have a pity-party for � ve minutes.”

Interlake falls againInterlake followed its extra-inning loss to

Bellevue with a 10-2 setback to Lake Wash-ington Monday, and now sits three games back of the � rst place Wolverines.

� e Saints played the � rst installment of the Crossroads Cup against Sammamish Wednesday, and hosts Liberty Friday at 4:30 p.m.

� e Totems fell 6-4 to Juanita Monday, and travel to Lee Johnson Field in Kirkland for a 7 p.m. game against Lake Washington Friday.

proposed by a number of residents to run the lines under-ground is not being looked at as a feasible option, he said.

Above-ground transmission lines are the standard in Washington, said Wappler, and signi� cantly less expensive and environmentally intrusive than running lines under-ground — PSE has only one line that goes underground for seven-tenths of a mile. He added the state utilities commis-sion states if a community wants underground lines, it is the residents’ responsibility to pay for it.

“� e community would have to � gure it out,” Wappler said of paying the price tag for underground lines. “We can’t � gure out who pays for it and how.”

Anderson said representatives from 18 neighborhoods from Renton to Kirkland will convene later this year to hold a mass summit to discuss the issue of new transmis-sion lines on the Eastside.

A question-and-answer session with PSE will be held 6-9 p.m. Monday, April 21 in the cafeteria building at the Renton Technical College, 3000 N.E. Fourth St. A central subarea committee workshop will be held 6:30-9 p.m. Wednesday, April 23 in the Skyview Ballroom of the Bel-levue Hilton, 300 112th Ave. S.E.

Helping autistic students navigate college BY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

NOTE: April is National Autism Awareness month and Autism Acceptance Month in Washington state.

About � ve years ago, Susan Gjolmesli, the director of Bellevue College’s Disability Resource Center, noticed a troubling pattern among some of the students identi� ed on the autism spectrum.

Performance tended to be variable from quarter to quar-ter — a “rollercoaster,” as Sara Gardner recounts the story today. � ey might do well academically in the fall, then fail classes in the winter.

� ough not necessarily the case for all people di-agnosed on the spectrum, this variable performance in school or the workplace is common, said Gardner, who is herself diagnosed on the spectrum.

“Like everyone else, we have things we’re great at, or not so great at,” Gardner said. “We also have good days and bad days. What makes it more di� cult for people on the spectrum is that we’re not as in tune with our bad days. You might have a bad day, realize it and choose to stay home. I might ignore it and go in anyway, which could a� ect my performance.

“Or maybe our good and bad days are more extreme. People on the spectrum experience things more intensely than other people: noises, light, touch, smell.”

� e Disability Resource Center responded to the prob-lem by instituting a pilot program in 2010 that examined 26 students: an experiment group of 13 who received extra support services on top of typical Americans with Dis-abilities Act accommodations, and a control group that just received ADA accommodations. � e results showed the support services helped performance.

Today, Gardner is the program director of a permanent Autism Spectrum Navigators program that serves more than 70 students. � e program has three basic components: regular meetings with peer mentors who can help navigate campus resources and communicate with instructors; an optional parent involvement program; and a series of nine cohort classes that cover topics such as how to navigate a

college campus, self advocacy, self regulation, executive function — the process of connecting past experience to present action — and social interaction.

“Social interaction is very di� erent from social skills, which are not what we teach,” Gardner said. “As a person on the autism spectrum ... you can teach social skills until you’re blue in the face and it won’t help. We’re a social justice program, not a corrective one. Our goal is to help people be the best autistic person they can be.”

What that means can be di� erent from person to person. One student might be an excellent written communicator, yet be unable to speak or dress themselves; another might

have the opposite abilities. Gardner frequently uses a comparison between

herself and Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin to discuss the concept of higher and lower functioning in autistic persons. On paper, Gardner said Grandin would be the higher functioning autistic person: she holds a Ph.D, she’s an inventor and she was the subject of a documentary about her accomplishments.

“But if you met us in person, you would say Sara’s the higher functioning person because Grandin comes o� as � at in her speech and mine is closer to what might be considered normal,” she said. “� e truth is, neither of us is higher functioning, we function di� erently. And we

want to get away from using terms like high or low func-tioning, because it’s not a good way to discuss people.”

One Navigators student, Trevor Pacelli, has written two books on growing up with autism and in 2013 wrote an article for CNN.com on the subject for National Autism Awareness Month. In the article, “Growing up autistic,” he said the program helped him learn his strengths, weak-nesses, needs and how to ask for help.

Autism Spectrum Navigators is partially funded by the college as a student success program, but raises money through an annual video game tournament.

� e third annual Autism Acceptance Video Game Tournament, featuring Wii Mario Kart, will be held April 26. It will additionally feature an XBox Kinect children’s playroom, a quiet room, board game tables, a silent auction and panels on autism spectrum issues.

Students from Odle Middle School competed in the Wash-ington State Elementary Chess Championships April 12.

Seven Odle sixth-graders — Zachary Zhang, Andrew McKeehan, Lance McKeehan, Tara Reddy, Nikata Singh, Sanford Long, and Benjamin Mousseau — accumulated enough points for their performance to win the eighth place team trophy in the Grade 4-6 category.

� ree of the students — Long, Zhang, and Mousseau — � nished among the top 20 sixth graders.

Nine Odle Middle School students — Derek Zhang, Nathaniel Yee, Aditya Kannan, Shifa Somji, Jason Yang, Subham Behera, Dorian Clay, Rahul Sehgal and Gabriel Shen — participated in the state middle school champi-onship, which is an individual competition with no team category. Dorian Clay won � rst place in the K-9U1300 section. In the Open section, three of the students placed in the top 15 � nishes.

“Women of Persia,” the current exhibit at Blakely Hall in the Issaquah Highlands, is art that talks.

Issaquah artist Farshad Alamdari, in his � rst major exhibition, is portraying women who had power and freedom, which changed a� er the Iranian Revolution. He said the country’s politics and religion are stopping them, but they will continue to � ght until they have victory.

“� e story behind the paintings is an opportunity for young women to learn, to � nd their presence, their personality,” Alamdari said.

Alamdari is a native of Iran, a scientist and an artist. He le� Iran six years before Ayatollah Khomeini led the 1979 Iranian Revolution which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran.

He earned his Ph.D. in architecture in England and became a leader in sustain-ability, long before it was a hip buzzword in the U.S. He said in the U.K. they were building green by 1990, whereas the U.S. was 10 years behind. Alamdari was Chief Scientist on sustainable built environment for Building Research Establishment, a privatized former department of the United Kingdom.

He had been painting since he was 14

Artist honors the strong women of Persia

and drawing since he was six. When his wife was o� ered the position of vice-president for marketing with Boeing, he followed her here two years later, devot-ing all of his time to his art. He worked on “Women of Persia” for more than two years, full time, producing 18 oil portraits of powerful women from Persian history, using his mother, wife, daughter and his son’s girlfriend as inspiration.

He said Islam was forced on Iran by the Arabs 1,500 years ago, but it was Khomeini who forced women to cover their heads in 1980, which they still have to do.

“� e women before Islam were � ourish-ing,” he said.

Zoroastrianism, the � rst religion which believed in one God and is still practiced by many people worldwide, is the ancient Iranian religion, coming before Christian-ity, Islam or Judaism. One of his paintings, “Compassionate,” is his interpretation of Queen Cassandane, 545 B.C. She was a Persian noblewoman and the dearly loved

wife of the King of Kings, Cyrus the Great. Cyrus the Great wrote the � rst chapter on human rights, the Cyrus Cylinder. Al-though Cyrus was Zoroastrian, Alamdari said he did not suppress the Jews.

“Enduring” is his portrait of the Shah’s wife, Queen Farah.

“She was a kind woman who supported women’s rights,” Alamdari said.

Women in Iran advanced under her leadership, he said.

“But the Shah was controlling,” he said. With only one political party, Alamdari

said it put a great deal of pressure on both men and women. During the Shah’s rule, the middle class did much better. Now, he said, in� ation is over 600 percent and there is a huge disparity between the very rich and the very poor.

“Noble” is a portrait inspired by Turan-dokht, a cold-hearted princess (630 A.D.) who was determined that no man should

ever possess her. � e story of Turandokht was turned into a popular opera by Puccini.

� en there are the warriors. “Resilient” is inspired by Azad, (750 A.D.), a guerrilla commander from the north of Iran. She fought against the Islamic forces during the occupation period.

“Progressive” is one of the more modern portraits, inspired by Dr. Tal’at Basari, the � rst woman vice chancellor of a prestigious university in Iran. She was appointed in 1960. Wearing a simple dress, she is looking contemplatively at something in the distance.

“Optimistic” portrays Hila Sedighi, a hu-man rights activist who was jailed at one time. In 2012 she was honored for her commitment to free expression by Human Rights Watch. Although she is wearing the head scarf, it is on loosely, revealing much of her hair.

� en, “Tolerant,” one of the more polariz-ing paintings by Alamdari, shows a mother and her two daughters in total burqas. Alamdari said “in May 1979, the day of cel-ebration for Iranian’s Women’s Day, Islamic hijab on women was imposed. � is requires women to wear loose-� tting clothes as well as a head scarf that covers the hair.”

“Women of Persia” is

presented by artEAST. “We’re very consciously looking for art

that inspires dialogue,” said artEAST Ex-ecutive Director Karen Abel. “We’re thrilled to have this — it’s our inaugural exhibition (of this type).”

� ere will be a reception and artist talk from 6-8 p.m. Saturday, April 19 at Blakely Hall, 2550 N.E. Park Drive. All of Alam-dari’s paintings are for sale, with 30 to 40 percent of the proceeds going to artEAST for education and community program-ming.

Delivery & Best Prices!

425-312-5489

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

THE SHORTEST DISTANCEBETWEEN TWO POINTS HAS NO LAYOVER.Seattle isn’t the same city it was ten years ago, which means the people of Seattle aren’t fl ying to the same places. No one understands global reach better than an airline. That’s why Delta o� ers nonstop fl ights from Seattle to more countries than any other airline. So you can stay focused on what you need to do and not how you’re going to get there.
