0Bellevue residents indicted in sextra� cking ringBY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER

Six people were identi� ed in a multi-state sex tra� ck-ing ring Monday a� ernoon, which included residential brothels in Bellevue and Kirkland. � at same day, four pled not-guilty in U.S. District Court a� er a grand-jury indict-ment brought to a head a years-long investigation.

“� ese defendants exploited vulnerable women immi-grants to enrich themselves,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan in a release. “We will work with our partners to stop this exploitation.”

Unruean Aboula� a, a 34-year-old Bellevue resident, believed to be working with her ex-husband, has been ac-cused of leading the operation, managing advertisements on the controversial website backpages.com.

Law-enforcement o� cials say apartments were leased in Bellevue, Kirkland, Chicago, Scottsdale, Ariz. and Falls Church, Va. Charging papers indicate many of the women were from � ailand and were here illegally, having over-stayed their tourist visas. Among them is Aboula� a, herself a � ai national.

Aboula� a is charged with money laundering, conspiracy to use a communication facility to promote prostitution, conspiracy to transport individuals for prostitution and for the use of cellphones to advertise and facilitate services.

Also indicted are � anyathorn Mohr, 35, of Bellevue, alleged to have scheduled and directed clients; Xinping Zhang, 39, of Bellevue, accused of renting apartments and collecting funds; Je� Chu, 48, also a resident of Bellevue and Chu’s ex-husband, for leasing apartments in Washing-

Bellevue Botanical Garden (BBG) will break ground on its new visitors center this May in response to growing community demand for the facilities.

� e City Council on Monday OK’d the $10 million contract for the work.

“It’s going to allow improvements across the board for adult education, children’s education and enrich the visitor’s experi-ence,” said Nancy Kartes of BBG.

� e buildings will feature a total of 8,500 square feet, including a covered orientation space, meeting rooms, o� ces, a gi� shop and restrooms. � e expanded facilities also will include space for lectures and workshops much like Seattle’s Urban Horticulture Center.

Near the entrance, an interactive digital map will guide visitors. A new parking lot

will double capacity within the same foot-print and landscaping improvements will further the garden experience.

Kartes says that the parking lot will resemble a garden itself and a Sun Court-yard will link the new visitor’s center with the outdoor space. A Spring Courtyard, to serve as a focal point for the various gardens, will be enveloped by a Tapestry Hedge. � e Shorts House, which is cur-rently used as BBG’s visitors center, will be restored to its residential decor.

BBG still needs to raise one million for the project, but construction is otherwise on track.

BBG will remain open throughout. Entrance to the gardens will be temporarily shi� ed around the corner, to the Lake to Lake Trail, at the back of the Yao garden; parking will be contained to the Wilburton Hills park.

Friendsfor LifeChance meeting leads to bonding and, later, Bellevue man’s donation of one of his kidneysBY GALE FIEGESPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

� e story of how Lance Losey of Bellevue came to donate a kidney to Patrick Short revolves around acts of con� dence that eventu-ally overcame doubts.

A� er all, Losey barely knew Short, who lives in Mill Creek.

But Losey’s donation of a vital organ was a gi� that forever changed Short’s life, physically and spiritually.

“We live in a world where apathy can easily take hold,” Short said. “Trying to make life better for others is enriching the life I came so close to losing.”

Short, 48, and Losey, 40, � rst met on a � y-� shing trip to Rock Creek, which

runs east of Missoula, Mont. � ey were a loose-knit group of Losey’s bud-dies, and Short was a friend of one of those friends. � ey � shed together for a few days over several sum-mers in Montana and on the Yakima River in Eastern Washington.

“I � rst clued in to Patrick’s condition (in the summer of 2009) when I realized he brought a kid-ney dialysis machine with

him that summer,” Losey said. “Even when we’re out on the ra� , he would do a gravity dialysis, holding his bag (of � ushing water) high above his head. “All of us that weekend spent time with him, noticing that he was in poor health.”

Losey and Short were the only ones on a particular stretch of the river when they realized they were in the middle of a school of rainbows. Short’s heavier

� y rod had busted, so he sat back and watched Losey bring in one 18-inch rain-bow trout a� er another.

“It was magical moment, something we won’t forget,” Short said. “We were amazed at God’s creation on that perfect day. I guess it was a bonding moment for me and Lance.”

� e next time they would see each other would be in a Seattle hospital.

Lance Losey (left) gave a kidney to Patrick Short, last year. The pair met on a fishing trip through mutual friends, and Losey proved to be a tissue match for Short, who was on dialysis at the time. MARK MULLIGAN, The Herald of Everett

Recently my son brought home information about the school science fair. Inside the thick packet were astonishing lists of deadlines, directions, topic ideas

and the rule that under no circumstances (ever) is anyone allowed to bring in a homemade volcano or anything that needs an open � ame as an energy source.

Disappointed, we both agreed that our homemade nuclear reactor would most likely not be allowed under the roof of his elementary school.

� e children’s department is busiest during science fair season, with budding scientists and their parents seeking the explanations behind things like surface tension or buoyancy. � e science fair

project books, located in the 507.8 section, disappear very quickly and families are o� en le� scrambling to � nd the information they need. Luckily there are other places to � nd those experiments and the resources to explain the sci-ence behind them.

King County Library System subscribes to Science

Online, a database � lled with diagrams, conversion calcula-tors, articles and experiments covering topics such as fo-rensics, weather, chemistry, biology and more. � e articles are from reputable sources like science encyclopedias and dictionaries.

When you search on a topic such as surface tension, tabs across the top arrange the information into categories such as news articles, experiments and activities, and topics, terms and principles. � e experiments give a brief over-view of the topic, a materials list and time requirements, a procedural guide and a data table.

Also included are questions your budding scientist should ask and answer. � ere are general safety guidelines for each experiment (Tie back your hair! No horseplay!). Parents may � nd themselves missing their old high school chemistry labs and teachers. I did.

� is database is available anytime and anywhere. To access the information just visit the database page (kcls.org/databases), choose the science and technology link and click on Science Online. � en log on with your library card number and PIN.

A� er looking at many topic ideas, my son has decided to culture bacteria from the dog’s mouth. It’s not nearly as exciting as playing with � re, but with 24-hour access to Science Online, he has all the time in the world to build a volcano. He just can’t take it to school.

Being a foster child means having to cope with extraordinary disadvantages during some of the most important for-mative years leading to adulthood. Most o� en, children enter the foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster kids o� en don’t get the same emotional or � nancial support that other kids get, or the sense of security that comes from being a part of a biological or adoptive family. � is is why Treehouse exists, to counteract some of the disadvantages that come with being a foster child. Treehouse is QFC’s charity of the month for March.

Most people � nd that getting a good ed-ucation is an essential step towards leading a productive, ful� lling life. People without a good education are o� en at a disadvantage in pursuing a career or a landing a good job. Unfortunately, due to the emotional turmoil many foster children have had to endure, they are not primed and ready to do well in school. Treehouse is dedicated to helping the foster child population here in Washington through Education Advo-cacy and Education Engagement.

Treehouse Education Advocates help students access education support servic-es, stay in the same school whenever possi-

ble or help with the transition to a new school, work through issues that might keep them out of school, and help them make up credits, stay engaged and stay on track to graduate.

Treehouse provides education plan-ning, coaching and support through Education Engagement. � e Tree-house website notes:

� rough weekly monitoring of risk indicators, personalized inter-vention, building problem solving and self-advocacy skills, proactive-ly removing barriers to school suc-cess, and supports to fully engage in school and community, Tree-house paves the way to high school graduation, hope and opportunity.

� e Treehouse mission of helping foster children goes beyond education to include many other aspects of youths’ lives. Here are four other programs that Treehouse supports that help make a di� erence: Little Wishes, Summer Camp, � e Wearhouse and Holiday Magic.

� rough Little Wishes, Treehouse pro-vides access to extracurricular activi-ties like sports, music, dance and clubs,

as well as school activities because kids who are positively engaged in school and community have better academic and life outcomes. � e Summer Camp program provides access to overnight camps, day camps and other summer programs, giv-ing foster kids a chance to get away and make new friends, while providing a break for their caregivers. Because spare funds are o� en short or nonexistent, Treehouse created � e Wearhouse so that foster kids can get free new and like-new clothing, books, toys and other things to help them feel good and � t in. Eligible participants

can use � e Wearhouse up to � ve times a year. � e Holiday Magic program helps kids in foster care have a happy holiday by raising resources from the community to provide each child with a special holiday gi� .

QFC is proud to partner with Treehouse to raise awareness about the important work they are involved in and to help raise funds to support the services they o� er to their young clients. We invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand to Tree-house until March 30th.

October 20, 1918 headline from the Lake Washington Re� ector, courtesy Eastside Heritage Center

Spanish � u hits BellevueOn Oct. 1, 1918, a single gold star appeared on the front

page of the Lake Washington Re� ector. Quartermaster Herl F. Lincoln, the Re� ector reported, was returning home from Boston on furlough when he fell victim to “pneu-monia.” He was taken from the train directly to Seattle’s Providence Hospital where he died on Sept. 25.

It wasn’t until almost three weeks later that the Re� ector published the actual name of Lincoln’s killer. On Oct. 20 the headline read “Everybody is Laid Up with the Spanish In� uenza.”

Bellevue residents took precautions to prevent the spread of the disease: public gatherings were cancelled, residents were encouraged to stay at home, and hundreds of gauze masks were fashioned and distributed by local charities. However, despite these e� orts, at least 11 Bellevue residents died of the � u. � e � u was responsible for 1,600 deaths in the greater Seattle area, 700,000 in the United States, and 21 million worldwide.

Heritage CornerA look at Bellevue’s past

Ever heard of “Pickled Okra,” “Polecat,” or � e Seldom Scene”? I hadn’t either until our neighbors of-fered us their Saturday tickets to this year’s annual

Wintergrass, a Bluegrass and Acoustic Music Festival held each year at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.

We knew if we didn’t like the music it would be an easy walk to return home. We did, but only a� er immersing our-selves in music for one entire a� ernoon and evening.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the bluegrass festival. I hoped we’d hear instruments besides banjos and � ddles, as they weren’t my favorites.

It turns out I had a lot to learn about bluegrass mu-sic, and spending 10 hours submerged in it was the best

teacher. Yes, banjos and � ddles abounded, as did guitars, double basses, dobros, and mandolins. Some played them with a rock ‘n’ roll accent, others added a jazz touch, and some played country style. No matter how they played, all the musicians we heard played well. Exceptionally well.

I also discovered that bluegrass musicians, profession-als or not, don’t all have southern accents and they are not all male. However, they do walk around with one or two instrument cases on their backs and one in each hand.

As enjoyable as the scheduled entertainment were the in-formal groups of musicians that popped up in every alcove of the hotel’s conference center. Graybeards, adults, teens and children, sometimes segregated by age, but o� en not, came together to share a common passion for the music. � e rest of us delighted in hearing a dozen free concerts between the formal events.

� anks to the City of Bellevue Arts Program for help-ing sponsor this event. While the rain pounded outside Saturday, 3,500 people stayed warm indoors strumming, � ddling or just tapping their toes to the music.

Mark Stendal likens brainstorming sessions at Mighty Media to speed dating – rapid � re, the team throws out ideas until something emerges. A� er scribbling thoughts on the whiteboard, they pick through to � nd the ones with the most merit.

“Essentially we’re sto-rytellers,” said co-founder Stendal. “It’s the oldest form of entertainment and information. So [our � nal product] has a beginning, a middle and an end.”

When the band of former Microso� vendors � rst assembled three years ago, they simply were look-ing for a creative space. Now a team of 10, their backgrounds o� er a wide range of skills. Stendal was co-executive producer of NBC’s “� e Other Half,” and produced primetime specials for MTV, � e Travel Channel and TLC. Co-founder Pauls Zommers worked on the produc-tion team for the Seattle SuperSonics and Seattle

Storm. � eir colleagues have produced commercials for Nike and Boeing, music videos for Janet Jackson and SuperBowl hal� ime shows.

Today, headquartered in an old � rehouse that’s wedged between a Taco Bell and a Jack-in-the-Box o� Northup Way, MM Studios hardly looks like the creative engine it is. But Mighty Media, as the name suggests, produces content for some of the biggest local and national companies,

ranging from Microso� to CBS.

Projects include reality shows, university recruit-ment videos and company conferences. It’s hard work, said Zommers, but also a lot of fun.

“What kind of projects do we specialize in? Well, if they involve stunts, pyrotechnics, animals or worse – child actors – aircra� carriers, Bell-Jet

Rangers, giant chemical plants, � sticu� s, anthrax, internationally broad-cast live entertainment, national political conven-tions, enhanced company meetings streamed live to 50 countries, huge game conventions or male swim-suit models – we’re experts” reads the company website.

laugh and exchange glances when asked about anecdotes from the set.

“We work way too hard, and so we be-lieve in enjoying ourselves while we work,” says Stendal.

Recently, the team tackled its biggest project to date – planning and launching Microsoft’s company meeting. Stendal and Zommers proudly recall the rave reviews they heard from employees and their families.

Certainly says Zommers, rubbing elbows with Microsoft helps Mighty Media stay on the cusp of the digital marketplace, but

there’s always competition to stay nimble, which is why the team feels Bellevue is prime location for its headquarters.

“It’s fantastic to be a production entity here, because we can get everything we need from wardrobe, to lights and batteries.

For Stendal, who spent 15 years at KOMO 4 as executive producer of local programming and program manager, and for many other members of Mighty Media, Bellevue is an undiscovered talent pool.

“Having worked in this market for 25 years, most of the production community is in Seattle. But we’re realizing Bellevue is a great place with many needs, and is really moving forward,” says Stendal. “We’re just happy Mighty Media can be another stake in the ground.”

made Short so sick when he was 12 years old would have been treated and probably wouldn’t have attacked his kidneys. But, in the late 1980s at the University of Oregon, Short, an athlete, was anemic and he knew he needed a kidney transplant.

The donor was his sister, Mary.“It was an incredible act of generosity on

her part,” Short said.Within a year, Short had little to remind

him of the transplant other than taking his anti-rejection medication each day.

Then, 20 years later, doctors found that the transplanted kidney was failing. He

underwent so many blood transfusions that potential donors for another transplant were ruled out because of the changes in Short’s blood chemistry. Then came the three years on dialysis,” Short said.

Condition worsensEventually, he became so sick he was

hospitalized with renal failure and the deadly medical condition called sepsis.

“I had to surrender control of the situa-tion and believe in the power of prayer,” he said.

Gina, who he calls his “rock,” started a website explaining the problem and sent out an email to people they knew.

Losey was an attorney working at a

Seattle law firm when he got the email. He hadn’t seen Short in nearly two years.

“It was an apologetic letter from Patrick. He was reaching out beyond his family and close circle of friends to ask others to con-sider donating a kidney so he could live,” Losey said. “I remember my first reaction was, ‘Well, I hope he finds a donor.’ Then I felt the Holy Spirit encouraging me to go back and read the letter again.”

Losey, who had grown up in a Christian home, had been struggling with his faith most of his adult life. When faced with in-tellectual arguments, he was easily swayed by doubt.

Nevertheless, feeling he was being called to find out more, Losey went to Virginia Mason hospital where he learned what it would take to become a kidney donor. However, as he talked it over with his wife, Theressa, Losey decided he needed to beg off. His fear was that his youngest son, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, might need a kidney from him some day.

Losey didn’t hear much about Short for awhile. Then one day, Theressa Losey spoke with Gina Short.

A surprising change“Out of the blue one day, Theressa asked

me if I would still consider donating to Pat-rick,” Losey said. “I really could not think of a reason not to. If our son needed help later, we felt God would provide. I confidently made arrangements to tell Patrick that I would donate.”

The doctors said Losey’s kidney was a great match for Short.

“The doubt and fear just fell away,” Losey said. “The idea of giving Patrick’s wife and son more years with him made me really want the transplant to happen.”

On Sept. 20, 2011, surgeons removed a kidney from Losey and another team of surgeons gave it to Short.

Within hours of the procedure, the hospital arranged for the men to see each other.

“It was so gratifying. I always knew that when you give something of yourself, you get something in return,” Losey said. “I realized that God had led me every step of the way and that the Lord worked it all out for Patrick. The gift I got in return was faith. That issue is settled in my life, and Patrick is a daily reminder of that.”

A futureThe Loseys and the Shorts are good

friends now. Both men are doing well. Last month, they collaborated on a successful blood drive at Short’s church, North Creek Presbyterian Church in Mill Creek.

“I feel called to help others as a result of being given the gift of life,” Short said. “On one side it is a story of maintaining faith to overcome the obstacles and adversity of an illness and on the side is a story of provid-ing the ultimate gift of generosity. Together we decided to continue the awareness of being a donor no matter how big or how small.”

ton and Illinois; and Steven Aboulafia, 59, Unruean’s ex-husband of Henderson, Nev.

Finally, Edward Flanigan, 57, of Fed-eral Way, is accused of renting apart-ments in Washington and Virginia and is believed to have been a client of the prostitution ring.

“This case is more than prostitution, money laundering, and conspiracy,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “It is about human trafficking.”

That issue has been of growing concern in Washington state, and in particular on the Eastside. Those exploited often are at a greater risk, says Marie Hoffman of the Washington Anti-Trafficking Network, because of language and cultural barriers, a general mistrust or misunderstanding about law enforcements’ role and due to immigration status. Brothel operators may withhold paperwork and threaten to report

them or harm their families.“That prevents somebody from leaving

the situation and creates an environment of fear,” says Hoffman.

Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said that the victims and witnesses of the ring numbered in the dozens. According to charging papers, the women were lured to the U.S. with the prospect of work, and owed debts of as much as $60,000.

“This is a crime that happens in our community,” said Hoffman about the concerning rates of trafficking on the Eastside, “that affects people from all over the world, including the U.S., regardless of background, where they grew up or what community they live in.”

The King County Sheriff ’s Office, the Kirkland and Bellevue Police Depart-ments and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations were involved in the inves-tigation. Mohr, Zhang and Chu pled not guilty alongside Unruean.

Some doozy decisionsI always wondered why Shakespeare was so tough on

lawyers. In Henry VI, he � rst wanted to kill them all. I think I understand a little more now. Maybe it’s because

some lawyers become judges and he wanted to stop the source. Judges are indeed human and their mistakes are sometimes doozys.

First we have the wacky ruling by Judge Ronald Kessler that prosecutor Dan Satterburg could have “done more” to show mitigation for alleged police murderer Christopher Monfort. � erefore Monfort isn’t eligible for the death pen-alty. Why is the burden on Satterburg to try both sides of a case? If any crime cries out for the death penalty, killing police does.

Next, we have an equally stellar ruling by Judge Je� rey Ramsdell in the mass murder of a Carnation family. He said that Satterburg, “erroneously considered the strength of the state’s case” against defendants McEnroe and Ander-son. He should have looked for “mitigation.” � is tortured logic on the judge’s part is patently ridiculous.

I don’t necessarily agree with old Will Shakespeare, but I de� nitely think these two judges should not hold their o� ce. How about a transfer to Social Services? � eir phi-losophy at least might be understood there.Denny Andrews, Bellevue

Stay committed to conservationI want to commend the Bellevue Reporter for publishing

the opinion piece “Why the West is best for business” by Rich Stillman. � e connection may not seem obvious to ev-eryone, but is an issue that is very clear, and very important to me.

As a managing principal for a new environmental

engineering � rm located in Redmond, I see � rsthand, as Stillman does, the importance of ensuring we provide the quality of life that draws great talent and great businesses to our region.

We are fortunate here to have elected o� cials who see this connection. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray have been strong leaders to protect the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Congressman Dave Reichert, too, has long stood up for funding of the LWCF and we hope to see a similar commitment to our quality of life from newly elected Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, now representing much of our region.

� e connection Stillman makes between his company’s success and land and water conservation is critical. It is troubling to think that we have to � ght to keep funds available for preserving recreation opportunities, given the obvious economic bene� t.

I second his support of programs like the Land and Wa-ter Conservation Fund.Peter Battuello, Managing Principal, Closure Solutions, Inc., Redmond

Stop the � nger pointing� e president says sequestration is “dumb.” If so, then

why did he previously sign the bill that set up this scenario, and why has he been out on the campaign trail the past two weeks trying to convince Americans that what he wants is best?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to stay in Washington working on solutions with Congress?

� e “dumb” part is all the � nger pointing going on, and doing nothing to make some common-sense agreements. � e budget needs to be cut to stop the run-away de� cit, but it is best to use a scalpel, not a chain saw cutting straight across the board.Larry Brickman, Bellevue

LETTERS

The state Supreme Court made the right call last when it ruled that the Legislature can pass a tax increase with only a majority vote. Let’s hope

lawmakers don’t run amuck with this power.� e state had lived with that simple majority idea for

years until Tim Eyman pushed his initiative mandating a two-thirds approval by the House and Senate to raise taxes. Voters liked the idea and said so several times at the polls.

We did, too, but not because we’re anti-tax.While a two-thirds requirement to raise taxes was

burdensome, it did force the Legislature to set priorities for what became a more and more limited pot of money. � at made for tough decisions, but more responsible government.

Too o� en a combination of a simple majority to raise taxes and essentially one-party control resulted in lawmakers caving in to the special interests of their sup-porters. � ey got re-elected, but at a higher and higher cost to the taxpayer.

� e two-thirds requirement gave lawmakers an easy out when state workers, for example, sought higher wages and more bene� ts. Suddenly, the push for a fatter paycheck had to compete with the needs of the poor for lifesaving food and medicine.

Lawmakers still need that discipline. � e fact that raising taxes is now easier doesn’t mean

that it should be the � rst choice in balancing budgets. We still expect legislators to be prudent with the public purse.

� e good news is a Legislature split between Demo-crats in control of the House and a majority Republican coalition in the Senate should keep the brakes on taxes this session.

Voters have shown over several elections they want taxes kept under control. Legislators should remember while it only takes a simple majority to raise taxes, that’s also the same percent needed to sweep them out of o� ce.

– Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Hailee Donoghue may have only under-stood every 10th word between her and her host family of Sacred Valley, Peru, but between gesturing and her limited Spanish, she managed to scratch together a vague understanding. Family dinners in the little village, close to the Inca capital of Cusco and below the ancient city of Machu Picchu, quickly became her favorite part of the day.

“� at trip de� nitely had a strong impact on my life,” said Donoghue, then a sophomore at Bellevue High. “It solidi� ed ideas I had, and was very powerful and eye-opening.”

Donoghue’s trip to Peru through Walk-ing Tree Travel, a national organization that sponsors high school trips abroad, was her � rst time overseas. Now an undergrad at UC Berkeley, Donoghue says the month-long exchange has challenged her world view, in-spired her current academic track and made her eager to globe trot again. A Latin Ameri-can Studies major, Donoghue will spend six months in Buenos Aires next year and six weeks in Guatemala, studying education in a rural village.

“It was very nerve-racking at � rst. I’d never traveled outside the country,” said Peter Tian, then a student at Interlake High School, who went to Costa Rica under a similar Walking Tree program. “A� er coming home, I realized I wanted to see the world, and I realized that there are so many people on earth, so many

cultures and customs, and yet we all share the same set of values and humanity.”

Many students go abroad in college, but for Donoghue and Tian, traveling at such a young age – while their peers spent their summers in sports camps or seasonal jobs – grew their world views. Tian can remem-ber playing soccer with the children of his homestay village and repairing a greenhouse just outside the community. Now a student at George Washington University, he recently applied to study abroad in Beijing and is majoring in global business.

Both Tian and Donoghue agree that these early cross-cultural experiences helped in-form their current roles as global citizens.

“When I came home I just remember...feeling that I’d had this life-changing experi-ence,” said Donoghue who, in addition to her homestay, helped build a cafeteria for an all-girls school outside the village. “It gave a lot of purpose to my life at such a young age.”

Neither Tian nor Donoghue is sure about future careers, but both know that while their roots may be in Bellevue, a part of their hearts is still abroad.

“� at trip really set me on the road to where I’m going now,” says Donoghue.

Burglars took a snowboard and ransacked a work room in a Medina garage sometime between midnight and 5 a.m. March 5.

Medina Police said the garage, in the garage in the 200 block of Overlake Drive East, was entered through an unlocked rolling door.

� e burglar(s) also entered three un-locked vehicles removing loose change and rummaged through all the glove boxes. Some small items were also removed from the vehicles.

Police advise residents to make sure they

activate any alarm system when they are away and always lock doors and windows even when they are home.

� e Medina Police Department o� ers the “Housewatch” program to residents. Police o� cers will regularly check the home of those who sign up for the service and look for anything out of place. To sign up for the program, go to the City of Medina website (medina-wa.gov), click on “Online Forms,” and then “Housewatch Request Form.” Residents also can call the police depart-ment to indicate that they will be away.

Dozer is a 1-year-old German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix that is an energetic and playful guy. He can be a little wary of new people and needs to get used to them before he is

comfortable around them. Because of this, he would do best in a home with children 10 years of age and older. Dozer likes to run a� er cars and trucks, and needs to be in a home where he won’t get walked a lot on busy streets or be le� in a yard where he will be tempted to jump the fence to chase a car.

Dozer is available at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent, located at 21615 64th Ave S. Call 206-296-PETS for more information.

Gizmo is a 1-year-old Chihuahua/Papillon mix with a beautiful white and apricot coat that is so� and shiny, thanks to his love of the brush. He’s sweet as sugar and will gladly accompany you on

errands, trips to the park or a night in at home.

Sparkle is a 6-year-old calico with the cutest bubble gum colored nose. Talk sweetly to this pretty girl and she’ll roll over, kneading the air in contentment. Sparkle has some spunk and can

really get into a game of chase. She’ll jump and twirl like a Cirque du Soleil performer.

Both are at the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue, located at the intersection of I-405 and I-90. It is open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. For directions call 425-641-0080.

Bellevue ended the season as the � � h-place team in Class 3A and a 1-2 record at the Hardwood Classic in the Tacoma Dome a� er a 51-30 loss to Wilson in the third-place game on Saturday a day a� er falling to Cleveland in the semi-� nal round 52-43.

� e Wolverines led by a pair at the half and pushed the lead to as many as six on a Kate Holmes three-pointer midway through the third quarter. But the Eagles pulled within a bucket heading into the fourth quarter and used a 12-4 run to take control of the � nal period and leave with the win.

Shelby Cansler led the way for Bellevue on the o� ensive end with 16 points and Kate Holmes added 10 more.

Mandy Steward scored a game high 14 points and fresh-man guard Tatiana Struen added 12 more in � ursday’s win over Glacier Peak.

� e Wolverines, as they did in a regional round win over defending state champion Prairie, pulled away with a late run scoring 23 points in the fourth quarter to build the � nal margin in that one. Cansler added eight points for Bellevue in the win and point guard Erin McGowan � nished with seven.

“Glacier Peak is a really composed team,” head coach Leah Krautter said a� er the win. “Our defense has been our game all year so we had to come back to it.”

� e quarter� nal win was Bellevue’s � rst in a state tourna-ment since 2008 and the � � h place � nish is the best since a fourth place trophy in 2002.

Cleveland went on to defeat Seattle Prep 45-35 for the Class 3A girls state title.

Newport boys sixth in 4A tourneyNewport ended its season as the sixth place team in

the state and a 1-2 record at the Hardwood Classic in the Tacoma Dome, falling to Central Valley 56-39 in the tour-nament’s fourth place game on Saturday. � e � nish was the best since the 1967 season, when the program was the runner-up to Renton.

A� er a loss to Curtis in the quarter� nals sent them to the consolation bracket, Newport outlasted KingCo foe Both-ell, 65-58 on Friday in a loser-out game, the � rst win in three tries against the Cougars this year. Will Ferris scored a team high 24 to lead the Knights in that one, including a 5-9 day from beyond the three-point arc.

Coach Steve Haizlip’s squad, which won four straight loser-out games just to make it to the state’s � nal eight teams, hung around through the � rst three periods in the opener against the eventual state-champion Vikings before

the duo of Dominic Robinson and Dominique Jordan helped the Vikings pull away with a 19-3 advantage over the game’s � nal eight minutes.

Robinson led all scorers with 18 and Jordan � nished with 11 in the win.

Both also played a part in pestering Newport’s ball handlers and converging on passing lanes, which le� the Knights searching for options o� ensively down the stretch.

“Give credit to them, they’re a good team,” Haizlip said post game. “I think our composure was great, but ultimate-ly it was that lack of execution.”

26 Newport turnovers played a large role in the � nal out-come as Curtis converted those giveaways into 21 points on the game.

Isaac Dotson � nished with 14 points and Will Ferris added 13 more for Newport.

“I’m proud of the guys and the way they battled,” Haizlip said.

� e trip to state was the � rst for the Knights since the 1994 season and only the fourth in the past 25 years.

Curtis survived a late comeback e� ort from previously undefeated Jackson to win the Class 4A state title 60-56 on Saturday.

Interlake didn’t waste any time in its hiring of a new football coach to replace the departed Jason Rimkus, who is now the head man at Redmond a� er four years with the Saints.

Athletic director Art Kuehn announced David Myers, most recently at Gar� eld, will be the new coach in 2013 and he hopes for many years beyond.

“I think he will do a great job,” Kuehn said. “I’m just excited to have him here.”

Myers was pushed into the head coaching role for the Bulldogs during the 2011 season a� er then-head coach Kelvin Goliday was suspended a� er pulling his team o� the � eld during the season-opening game against Lake Wash-ington. Goliday was in his � rst year and eventually had his position terminated, leaving Myers to lead the program, which he did for the past two seasons.

“Anyone who is pushed into that situation and handled it the way he did, it said a lot about his character and his abil-ity to deal with people,” Kuehn said. “He � ts right in with the Interlake population and will really embrace it.”

Players were introduced to their new coach on � ursday and Kuehn said the coach is eager to begin the o� season training program. Myers is a special education teacher at Gar� eld and Kuehn said he is hopeful he can � nd a posi-tion in the Bellevue School District for the coming year.

Interlake names new football coach

Mike Downs, the head of the Bellevue Christian boys basketball program for the past 32 seasons, will not coach in 2013-14 and beyond, the school said in a statement.

Downs cited personal reasons for the decision and will remain a sixth grade teacher at the middle school.

On the court, his Vikings captured 1A state champi-onships in 2005 and 2006, surviving close games with Brewster on both occasions.

Before Downs became the head man, BCS had a single state tournament appearance in Class 2B in 1977, losing both games. Since his arrival the program made 13 trips to the biggest stage, posting a 29-17 record and a pair of third, fourth and sixth place � nishes to go with the champion-ships. In all, Downs won 493 games as the head coach.

Bellevue Christian athletic director Mark DeJonge said it was his dedication to the school’s religious mission and community that will be remembered.

“Coach Downs leaves a legacy as a great teacher of the game, but more importantly, his legacy has been written on the countless numbers of athletes, coaches, and parents who have had the privilege of being part of boys basketball at BCS,” DeJonge said in a statement.

Downs resigns after 32 years at BCS

Toll WA LP, 9720 NE 120th Place, Suite 100, Kirkland WA is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Storm- water NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Wolf Trust, is located at 11620 SE 64th Street in Bellevue, in King County, WA. This project involves 1.93 acres of soil disturbance for construction of streets, utilities and homes. Stormwater will be dis- charged to an existing City of Bellevue storm drain system along SE 64th Street which, eventually discharges to Lake Washington northeast of the site. A lesser portion of stormwater from the finished project will discharge to an unnamed creek which is a tributary of Lake Washington. Any persons desir- ing to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecolo- gy reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173- 201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwa- ter, P.O. Box 47696, Olympia, WA 98504-7696.

...obituariesJohn Turner Proffitt

John was born May 23, 1936, Panama, OK and died February 19, 2013, Evergreen Hospice, Kirkland,WA.

John was born in Oklahoma, moving to California as a young child where he attended school until his graduation in 1954.

In his early twenties, he met Carol McCloskey and they moved with her family to Kirkland. John loved the area

and swore he would never live anywhere else.As a teenager and into his late thirties, John was an avid

bowler. He spent most of his career managing bowling lanes, including Totem Bowl (currently Tech City).

In the 1980’s, he received an AA from LWTC and opened his own tax business, and in the years prior to retirement he managed convenience stores.

John loved working with the public and his customers idolized him. He found great joy in family trips to Lopez Island. In later years, he continued to enjoy trips to Lincoln City and Seaside, OR with his wife, Rosemary. They also made camping trips to the Washington coast. Hobbies John relished were photography, skeet shooting and gardening, especially his roses. He took great joy in his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as his many nieces and nephews.

John is survived by his wife, Rosemary, his son, John, and stepchildren Terry, Lorie and Mike. John is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Odie Proffitt, his stepson, Walt McCloskey and his granddaughter, Stephanie Proffitt.

In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully appreciated to either of the following: Seattle Children’s Hospital or AllysHouse.net (Oklahoma City, OK)

Memories of John can be shared at: forevermissed.comService details will be posted on Facebook and Forevermissed.com.
