On Monday, Sept. 16, Wright Runstad & Co. of Seattle and Shorenstein Properties of San Francisco will break ground on its long-anticipated $2.3 billion Spring Dis-trict project. � e 36-acre site will include apartments, retail, restaurants, o� ce space, hotels and will encompass 16 city blocks.

“It’s the largest high-density develop-ment attempted in the U.S. in decades,” said spokesperson Forrest Carman of Wright Runstad, which also was responsible for the � rst Microso� campus in 1986.

� e demolition of the former Safeway warehouse at the corner of Northeast 12th Street and 120th Avenue Northeast, to begin Monday, will be quickly succeeded

by construction of roads and utilities. � e Spring District is located in the Bel-

Red neighborhood, recently rezoned for transit-oriented development. When ser-vice begins in 2023, a light rail station will carry passengers across Lake Washington from Seattle, through the Spring District and on toward Microso� ’s campus.

“It’s more than a theme, it’s a driver

for how we’re thinking about the Spring District as a new neighborhood,” said Greg Johnson, president of Wright Runstad of the design’s focus on such accessibility.

� e project has been in the works since 2007 and with technology an increas-ing economic engine in the Puget Sound

Bellevue’s five-time defending 3A state champion football team had little trouble with Skyline, which has won the past two 4A state crowns, in a 45-7 win at newly renovated Husky Stadium. The game, only the second played after UW’s win over Boise State, gave fans a close-up look at the new digs. Go to Page 13 for more prep football. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter


When the residents of Spiritwood � rst noticed that their low-density, single-family neighborhood had seen a surge of redeveloped properties—among them a three-bedroom house renovated to eight bedrooms—they worried the changes could alter the character of the neighborhood.

Now council is responding to what they say could be a more pervasive housing model. On Monday, Council discussed an emergency interim ordinance to address multi-room rentals in single-family homes.

In May, residents of Spiritwood realized that at least � ve properties in a several block radius were owned by a hand-ful of property owners, several of them seemingly related. Neighbors suspected the rooms were being rented out to students desperate for housing as Bellevue College transi-tions into a four-year institution. A mediation meeting late last month, revealed that the buildings were being used as “shared housing,” or what neighbors called a “purely economic model.”

Bellevue to rein in houses used as dorms

� e Bellevue City Council on Monday selected Republic Services to continue to pick up garbage, recyclable material and organic waste, once a contract is hammered out next month.

Two companies – Republic and CleanS-capes – were competing for a seven-year contract, with an option to extend another seven years, worth up to $20 million annu-ally. � e current contract expires next June.

While the council and city sta� acknowl-

edged that both companies were capable of providing the services to Bellevue residents and businesses, it came down to Republic’s past performance and reputation forpro-viding Bellevue customers with reliable and dependable service for more than 30 years. � e vote was 5-0; councilmembers John Chelminiak and Kevin Wallace recused themselves. City sta� will now work with Republic to � nalize the contract, then bring it back to the council in October for

approval. In addition to selecting the vendor of

choice, the council decided to maintain the same rate structure in the new contract in order to minimize rate changes for custom-ers.

Also approved were a number of service enhancements and new service options, including a limited amount of commercial and multifamily organics collection. � e council hopes that includ-

ing this level of organics service into the base rate will promote participation in the organics recycling program and ulti-mately reduce this type of material from ending up in the land� ll.

Customers can expect improvements including the on-call curbside collection of small electronics and appliances from multifamily customers, and online account management and electronic billing upon request.

� e survival rate from cardiac arrest in King County has reached an all-time high of 57 percent, according to a new report released today by King County Executive Dow Constantine. Most other parts of the nation have survival rates that hover around 10 percent.

“People are alive today in King County who would not have survived in most other places in the country,” Constan-tine said. “Our EMS/Medic One system delivers rapid, high-quality critical care wherever you are.”

� e Emergency Medical Services (EMS)/Medic One 2013 Annual Report highlights this achievement and other activities that place the EMS/Medic One system among the world’s best.

In 2012, the EMS system in King County responded to 172,700 calls to 9-1-1, including 48,010 for Advanced Life Support (ALS), the most serious or life-threatening injuries and illnesses. � e

average medic unit response time stayed steady at 7.5 minutes.

“Survival from cardiac arrest is the signature of quality for any EMS/Medic One system, and we continue to set the standard,” said Dr. David Fleming, Direc-tor and Health O� cer for Public Health – Seattle & King County. King County’s cardiac survival rate has increased from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to 57 percent today.

� e King County EMS/Medic One sys-tem is managed by the Emergency Medi-cal Services Division of Public Health – Seattle & King County, and relies on a close partnership of thousands of profes-sionals with � re departments, paramedic agencies, EMS dispatch centers, and hospitals to provide emergency care and save lives.

In the state’s �rst study to examine driver use of electronic devices, investigators from the University of Washington found that more than 8 percent of drivers were engaged in the use of devices behind the wheel, higher than previously estimated. Among those driving distracted, nearly half (45 percent) were observed texting.

�e study examined the behaviors of 7800 drivers in six counties. Using randomized observations at controlled intersections, investigators recorded drivers engaged in a range of distracting activities, including texting and talking on the phone.

Researchers found that the most com-mon source of distraction was a hand-held device such as a cell phone. Among the 3.4 percent of drivers who were talking on a handheld phone, half were holding the device near or under the steering wheel, a behavior considered high-risk since a driver’s attention is diverted from the road.

�e study has important implications for state public health and law enforcement o�cials. Motor vehicle injuries remain the leading cause of death for Americans under 35 years of age and estimates suggest that up to 28 percent of crash risk is attribut-able to cell phone use or text messaging in vehicles. While the use of cell phones in the U.S. has grown exponentially, enforcement of distracted driving laws has struggled to keep pace.

“�ese �ndings suggest that distracted driving is more common than we thought and that texting has become a major cause of distraction,” said Dr. Beth Ebel, principal investigator with UW Medicine’s Har-borview Injury Prevention and Research Center and associate professor of pediatrics

at the University of Washington. “Most people support laws restricting texting and cell phone use in vehicles, yet some choose to engage in behaviors that put everyone on the road at risk.”

“�ese traumatic injuries are entirely preventable,” added Ebel. She noted that prior studies show texting while driving increases crash risk by 23 times, similar to driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.19.

In 2010, Washington state adopted a primary enforcement law for hand-held mobile devices and text messaging with an imposed �ne of $124. �e rise in distracted driving is prompting increased attention from law enforcement. In a recent King County seat belt citation campaign more tickets were issued for cell phone use and texting than non-use of seat belts.

“Otherwise responsible drivers who talk or text have caused collisions that kill or seriously injure others. �ese drivers are criminally prosecuted, just like other impaired drivers,” said Amy Freedheim, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney at the King County Prosecuting Attorney's O�ce.

�e data released are preliminary results, part of a broader study conducted to explore the impact of enforcement on electronic distracted driving. In October, investigators will release a statewide report card providing expanded data by county. �e report will pro-vide a baseline assessment and help county law enforcement, prosecutors and public health o�cials evaluate the e�ectiveness of intervention strategies for enforcement of distracted driving laws. If intervention strate-gies are e�ective, it is hoped that a successful model can be developed and implemented in other states.

Study finds nearly half of state’s distracted drivers are textingDRIVERS NABBED FOR TEXTING

A law-enforcement e�ort to reduce the number of people driving while distracted has resulted in nearly 1,300 citations. �e e�ort targeted drivers who were using cellular phones, texting or involved in other behavior that a�ected their ability to drive in a safe manner.

More than 1,100 citations were issued

to drivers for the use of cellular phones and 180 drivers were ticketed for texting while driving. Law enforcement made more than 2,300 contacts with drivers which included driver while suspended and DUI. O�cers also made arrests of subjects with felony warrants and recov-ered two stolen vehicles.

Lots of rhetoric, but no backbone

What to do with Syria? Indeci-sion is what you get when you put a community organizer with no other experience in the White House. Do we have an established foreign policy? I don’t think we have any for-eign policy except to � y by the seat of our pants, and hope they don’t catch on � re.

America is becoming the laughing stock of the world – lot of rhetoric with no backbone and no leadership.Larry Brickman, Bellevue

Public ignored in talk about Syria

What I � nd most disturbing in discussions about bombing Syria is how much the concerns and advice from the public is being ignored.� e media is being very one-sided in presenting the views of the president and Congress, while only giving lip service to the views and concerns of the public most of whom are against the U.S. getting involved in yet an-other con� ict.

I was totally against Bush's war on Iraq even going so far as to put an ad in the Bellevue Reporter voicing by objections. As time has shown, I was more right about the situations than the media and politicians who

started an unnecessary con� ict for which we and the people of Iraq are still paying for them in blood and we in tax dollars. � ose dollars should be going to resolve problems in our own country.

Why are the powers to be in this country so obsessed with getting involved in the a� airs of other countries while not dealing with our problems is what we all should be asking?George Whitaker, Bellevue

Robinson understands challenges facing city

In the race for Bellevue City Council, Position No. 6, Lynne Rob-inson is the candidate best prepared to represent the interests of the entire community – residents and businesses, individuals and families.As a business owner, neighborhood leader and civic volunteer, Lynne has well-rounded experience with deep roots in the community.

Lynne is an accomplished leader who understands the challenges and

opportunities facing Bellevue over the next four years. Her energy, her compassion – and her commitment to the priorities that ensure Bel-levue's future as a great place to live and work – make her the outstand-ing choice for City Council. She has earned our votes.Cheryl Kuhn, Bellevue

Use freedoms wiselyRecently I spent a great day with

my 14-year-old grandson. Before having dinner I decided to run in to Bellevue Square. Just outside the mall was a stand set up with signs wanting the impeachment of Presi-dent Obama.

I had no problem with their mes-sage. � at is their opinion, which I may not agree, but respect. What I found to be very distressing was the look on my grandson's face when he saw a Hitler-like mustache painted on the president.

Initiative 594 has made me think about the Second Amendment, the NRA and its 142-year history, its 4.5 million members and its $300 million annual budget.

� e initiative, requiring criminal and public safety background checks for gun sales and transfers, triggered memory of the recent massacre at Newtown, Conn., and the NRA’s response to it, which suggested the principal and kindergarten teacher should have been armed.

� e Second Amendment was not penned into the Constitution to allow the colonists to defend themselves against the federal, state or local government. � e Constitu-tion sought � rst to deal with a debt crisis resulting from the revolution.

� e Continental Congress borrowed a lot of money to pay for the war. � ere was no standing army.

� e Continental Congress denied Washington’s pleas for an army. Sam Adams believed that a permanent stand-ing army was “forever dangerous to civil liberties.”

Many Founders agreed with Adams, and they penned the Second Amendment into the Constitution, ensuring that citizens, not a permanent standing army, would bear arms. � e real reason for the Second Amendment was to put down slave and Indian uprisings.

Today the US has the largest army ever assembled.It also has a militia – � e National Guard. � e Second Amend-ment is now as anachronistic as Section 2 of Article I that permitted slavery. Both are national embarrassments.

� e Second Amendment has succeeded in making the worship of guns a form of idolatry. Guns are not gods.� ey are tools designed to turn animals into carcasses and human beings in corpses, and it is time to become more selective about who we allow to buy them.

also have no respect, as to equate an American leader with a monster such as Hitler, responsible for the killing of six million people.

You can close the book on an allegation which captivat-ed attention in the waning days of the 2012 congres-sional contest between Republican John Koster and

Democrat Suzan DelBene.Spoiler alert: It wasn’t true.If you recall, in the heat of their duel, Koster insinuated Del-

Bene – now the congresswoman – had given special treatment to a prominent supporter of Democratic candidates and causes while she served as director of the state Department of Rev-enue in 2011.

Koster linked her to allegations made in a whistleblower complaint � led by a veteran employee. � at worker alleged the unnamed Democratic supporter avoided paying a $2 million use tax on a personal airplane because of political favoritism.

Koster repeatedly said because it hap-pened on her watch she needed to respond to the charge.

“She says millionaires ought to pay their fair share, but apparently millionaires got a break,” he said in a television interview.

As Koster pushed the matter on the campaign trail throughout October, he seemed increasingly frustrated at its failure to gain much traction.

“While our liberal media friends are ignoring this major scandal, we are going to continue asking questions until we get some answers,” he wrote on his campaign’s Facebook page on Oct. 23.

� is week, an investigation found that “no reasonable cause to believe an improper governmental action occurred.”

Former state auditor Brian Sonntag launched the probe soon a� er receiving the whistleblower complaint alleging the tax should have been levied, but higher-ups in the department delayed doing so until it became too late for them to legally collect it.

Sonntag’s successor, Troy Kelley, a Democrat, oversaw the completion of the investigation and issued the � ndings Monday.

“In review of the case notes and the subjects’ email, phone records and statements from witnesses and subjects, we found the Department never made the determination that use tax was owed by the taxpayer in this case,” investi-gators wrote.

“Our investigation found no hold was placed on the case that prevented an assessment from being issued,” they con-cluded. “Additionally, we found no evidence that any employ-ee of the Department intentionally delayed the case in order to allow the statutory time bar to expire.”

No one is identi� ed by name in the seven-page report. Instead, agency employees involved are referred to by title. Nowhere is the director mentioned.

Koster, a Snohomish County councilman, was on bereave-ment leave and unavailable for comment, according to his sta� .

DelBene, who described Koster’s claim as “a baseless ac-cusation from a desperate campaign” declined to comment on the auditor’s � ndings.

While she said all along she had no involvement in the deci-sion, DelBene may need to address this matter again when she seeks re-election next year.

Guns and gun ownershipToday I swung my front door wide open and placed

my Remington 30.06 right in the doorway. I left 6 shells beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of our house.

A� er about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had le� it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so.

In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.

Either the media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.

Today is Friday the 13th, 2013. If you’re superstitious, grab a � ashlight and hide under your bed so you can continue reading. Because the good news is this

piece has nothing to do with Friday the 13th. But it does have something to do with long-held secrets, treachery – and larceny.

Last week, my wife and I unearthed some old boxes, dusty, crusty and more than a little bit musty. � ey were � lled with photos, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia – the kind of stu� long married people put away and forget about for years.

� e boxes contained lots of things that no reasonable person would save: keys to doors long forgot-ten; automobile documents for cars sold 20 years ago; ink

ribbons for typewriters; 8-track tapes and photos of people I cannot remember ever knowing – and yet, that is de� nitely me standing in the picture next to them.

I noticed something in one of wife’s old boxes: A letter of the alphabet – ‘S.’ It was made of wood, eight-inches high, painted yellow – and vaguely familiar.

“What is that?’ I asked her.“Beats me,” she shrugged. But she quickly looked away.I wouldn’t let it go. “Was that the � rst letter of your old boyfriend’s name?” I

said. “What was his name? Sam? Seamus? Skippy? Sulu?”“Sulu? Yea, that’s close,” she said. “His name was Carl.”I kept rummaging through the boxes, but the wooden

letter was still bugging me. I knew I had seen it somewhere before in the distant past.

I � rst met my someday wife in high school. She had transferred from another town – and I immediately liked her. For one thing, she was funny. Really funny – and always up to a bit of mischief. � at made her seem more boy-like than girlish.

She spoke as she si� ed through another box, “Remember how I used to come with you to your dad’s clothing store when we walked home from high school?”

I did remember. Dad’s store was so big he had a whole section of pants and shirts upstairs, too. � ere was a lot to explore.

In my next box of memorabilia – almost on cue – I found

old photos of the store, exteriors and interiors. And there, inone old picture, I saw the staircase leading to the store’s

second � oor – and noticed the suddenly-familiar individual, wood letters spelling out the word: STAIRS.

It was my “aha” moment.“� at ‘S’ you have is from my dad’s store!” I declared.My wife copped to it.“Yep,” she fessed. “I unscrewed it one day when nobody

was looking, and made o� with it.”“But why?” I asked. “Why did you do it?”“I don’t know,” she shrugged. “I just thought it would be

funny to have a sign that said: TAIRS.”I was thunderstruck at her per� dy – and wondered if I

should contemplate divorce.“You have to admit,” she � nally said. “No one ever noticed

it.”I had to admit it. And I also had to admit that it was a

pretty cool bit of daring for a high school girl. “Did you ever swipe anything else from the store?” I

asked.“Yes,” she said. “It took a little longer, but I eventually stole

Mr. Cashman’s kid.”� at she did.

Bellevue city manager search continues

� e Bellevue City Council on Monday � nalized the materials that will be used to recruit candidates for the position of city manager. � e position will be formally posted this week and will close in early October, a� er which the council will review a list of � nal candidates.

On-site interviews with the � nal candi-dates are planned for November. At that time, the public will be invited to a recep-tion to meet the candidates. � e council could appoint a new city manager by the end of the year.

In other council news■ Smart phone app: � e council ap-

proved a three-year, $92,000 contract with PublicStu� Inc. to implement and maintain a new so� ware application that will allow the public to use any smart devices to report issues, request information and learn more about city

services, programs and initiatives. City sta� expects to publicly launch this new, innovative application early next year.

■ Reducing commute trips: An agreement with King County Metro was � nalized to continue providing support to employers to implement the city’s successful Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan. In the last 10 years the rate of people driving alone to CTR-a� ected worksites in Bellevue has declined by 6.5 percentage points, removing approxi-mately 2,000 vehicle roundtrips each day from streets and highways. � e CTR

plan, consistent with state law, requires employers with more than 100 employees to develop plans and take steps to reduce drive-alone commute trips. � e state Department of Transportation will pay for $205,000 of the total contract cost of $235,000.

■ � e Bellevue City Council appointed

Hugo Ludena to � ll a vacated position on the Bellevue Arts Commission and will be eligible for reappointment in May 2015; Philip Malkin was appointed to � ll an expired term and will be eligible for reappointment in May 2017.

Council RoundupWhat’s going on in city government

HUGE END OF SUMMER PLANT SALEIssaquah, Washington:Oh my gosh, it’s already September and we have way too many plants here! They have to go! We don’t have room to keep them all winter. Lucky for you, this beautiful fall weather is the best time to get them settled into your yard.

We have a lot of big one-gallon size plants priced at just $4.97 including about 10 di�erent kinds of trees, at least 15 varieties of shrubs, and over 20 di�erent �avors of perennials.

My favorite is the Japanese Maples. These are 2 to 3 ft tall, with big roots. They are seedlings of mama Japanese Red Maple and papa Coral Bark Maple. Some have deep red leaves, some have red trunks and stems, and some have red edges around bright green leaves. Some are saplings, some are very fully branched. Every one is an individual, and all are just a wonderful deal at only $4.97.

We have lots of trees for $4.97. If you are looking for �owering trees, we’ve got ‘em. Put in an Eastern Redbud, a Chinese Dogwood and a Pink Flowering Dogwood tree and you’ll have �owers on your trees all spring long. I really like that Pink Dogwood. Big pink and white spring blooms last for weeks, and it’s the right size for a smaller yard, and it has such a nice shape all year round. I wonder where else you are going to �nd 3 ft tall trees for $4.97.

Oh, and Paperbark Birch. These little guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do �ne in that soggy area, and they don’t much care how much sun there is. These look great in clumps of 3, and they are very fast growing.

If you are in a hurry, the Curly Willows add a

couple of feet a year, too. I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and sometimes we grow way too many. All these trees should be priced more than $20 and I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts!

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll likely turn their noses up at these. And on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself? Not as easy as it looks. Ours have been growing in their pots for over a year, so they have big strong root systems and we know that they’ll work for you.

We’ve got Catherine Woodberry Pink Daylilies, and four or �ve di�erent varieties of Coral Bells, and Ego Siberian Iris. They’re all $4.97, and they look great together.

Also for $4.97 we have Minor Black Weigelas and Variegated Weigelas, Neon Flash Spireas and Gold Mound Spireas. These grow quick, but not too big, and have lots and lots of �owers in spring and early summer.

Let’s see, what else can we �nd for you for $4.97? How about Pink Hydrangeas and Nikko Blue Hydrangeas and even Oak Leaf Hydrangeas? I love those Oak Leafs, with the �owers that change from white to pink, and that cool peeling bark in winter.

Have you ever seen Miniature Roses? These are really hardy because they are grown on their

own roots. The �owers on these are bright red, and when they get going, they just get covered with blossoms. Great in containers or even as a ground cover. You don’t see that every day.

And come see the Rose of Sharon – three kinds, and all deer resistant! These beauties bloom from August until frost. Ardens has blue double blooms, Lucy has double rose pink �owers, Blue Satin has big blue blossoms with a wine colored center. We’ve got one in the front yard so you can see what it looks like all grown up.

I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

We’ve also got Dwarf Fountain Grass, and PeeGee Hydrangeas, Purple Smoke Bush, and Variegated Red Twig Dogwood. Lots of perennials – Emerald and Gold Wintercreeper, Sedum, Hostas, Ice Dance Grass, and who knows what else is out there. Whatever it is, it’s $4.97.

We have some really special Magnolias - three di�erent kinds. The Royal Star Magnolia trees are about 3 ft tall, nice and full with lots of branches. These are just covered with fragrant �u�y white �owers in spring, and a steal at $19.97. And we also have Jane and Betty Magnolias. These can be large shrubs or small trees, with big showy pink or pinky-purple �owers for a long blooming season in spring. These are $9.97, but not for long.

We have a couple of big 5 ft Stewartia trees. Never heard of Stewartia? Google it! Heck, you can even Google it on your phone, right? Check

it out and prepare to fall in love.

We also have some really nice Chinese Tree Lilacs for $19.97. Come look at these. They are about 3 ft tall, and really full. Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Oregon.

And Beacon Hill Dwarf Cedars of Lebanon. These look like those big Alaskan Cedars that have that nice narrow column shape with the weepy top, but these Beacon Hills only get to about 10 ft tall. They are really nice next to a building or a deck, ‘cause they stay narrow.

Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got three kinds of very special Japanese Maples. Crimson Queen and Tamukeyama are that beautiful low weeping form, and Lion’s Head are upright and really bold. These are all $39.97 for big 2–3 ft trees.

You get the idea. Come on over SATURDAY and SUNDAY September 14 – 15 and September 21 – 22 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.)

There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants.

Okay? Good. See you this weekend!

(Phone number? There is no way I can answer the phone at the same time as I talk to people about these plants. Just come on out. I promise it will be worth it.)

Residents of Paci� c Re-gent Bellevue were treated to an appearance by Seattle football legend Jim Zorn and his wife, Joy, on Sept. 6 when they showed up at an all-community barbeque to celebrate the opening of the 2013 Seattle Seahawks season.

� ere wasn’t an empty seat in the house when Zorn, whose mother-in-law resides at Paci� c Regent, spoke candidly about his

professional football play-ing and coaching career.

A� er discussing the up-coming season, the former Seahawks quarterback coached a few volunteers

from the audience on the proper way to throw a football.

When football fans converge Sunday for the Seattle Seahawks’ home-opener against the San Francisco 49ers, they can expect something more than a football game – they can expect so much noise that it could be hazardous to their hearing health.

CenturyLink Field stands a good chance of becoming the loudest stadium in the world, with noise levels expected to ap-proach or exceed 130 decibels – a level that can cause permanent hearing loss. A fan group named Volume 12 has applied to the Guinness Book of World Records for CenturyLink to be certi� ed as the world’s loudest stadium, with the goal of topping the current record of 131.76 decibels set at a 2011 soccer game in Turkey.

While the record-breaking attempt will enthrall some fans, it could present a health risk for others, health o� cials say. Exposure to noises exceeding 100 decibels can harm hearing a� er as few as 15 minutes, accord-ing to the National Institute for Occupa-tional Safety and Health.

To help fans take precautions, HealthIn-novations is giving away 10,000 ear plugs to people as they enter the stadium.

Hearing loss is on the rise in Washing-ton and nationwide, with an estimated 48 million Americans currently su� ering from the condition. � at number is expected to grow as Baby Boomers age and more young adults experience hearing loss due to the use of ear buds to listen to music.

Seahawks football game could pose health hazard

Overlake Medical Center will o� er free health screenings, cardiac and diabetes risk assessments and the ability to speak directly with physicians Sept. 28 in Bellevue during Overlake’s second annual Eastside Vitality Health Month.

� e Bellevue event will be from 8-11 a.m. at the Overlake Medical Center Main Campus, 1035 116th Ave. NE.

“We are committed to keeping our community healthy. By o� ering important health screenings across the Eastside, we hope to help people prevent serious health conditions before they occur and encour-

age them to manage conditions they may already have,” said Craig Hendrickson, Overlake’s president and CEO.

In addition, the event will feature skin cancer spot checks, carotid screenings (based on referral only), target heart rate readings and body mass index readings.

� ere also will be Overlake surgeons on hand to demonstrate the da Vinci® Surgical System and nutritionists available to dis-cuss diabetes and tips for eating healthy. In addition, there will be CPR and automatic external de� brillator (AED) demonstra-tions by the Bellevue Fire Department.

Suppose you walk into your � rst high school science class and “you're really excited about it,” says Tanvi Rane, 17 of Interlake High School.

“But then the teacher asks 'what's the dif-ference between a manipulated variable and a responding variable?' or something of that nature,” Rane continues. “Either you, or the person next to you realizes that there is some disconnect there – something you should have learned in middle school but you don't know.”

SciSub, she explains, is committed to bridging that gap. Composed of Rane and her peers, Jia Wen Chan and CJ Kindel, high school seniors at Interlake and Eastside Catholic respectively, the team wants to foster a love for the STEM � elds beyond the class-room. � is October, SciSub will host its � rst a� er-school pilot program, teaching a group of six to build remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs).

� ey speculate that disconnect created in high school science classes keeps many students from further pursuing the � eld. � e three say they've overcome such barriers of entry and think a hands-on curriculum could do the same for their peers.

“When you think about it, babies learn

experimentally – does the square block � t through the circular hole? I think we're capi-talizing on that,” explained Chan. “People lose that as they get older. What we're doing with SciSub is we're letting them use that curiosity along with learning the formal terms, all the parts of the scienti� c process without neces-sarily having to be in a formal environment.”

� e three talk excitedly as they point to a picture of a model sub they've called Jorge. Designs are based on those of MIT’s SeaPerch program, but have been tweaked and built upon, says Kindel. He demonstrates how the joints have been made using sliced PVC pipe. Sensors made of � lm canisters are strapped to the structure and when dropped in a body of water could measure such things as turbid-ity, depth and other elements so that students aren't just constructing subs, but using them to experiment and collect data. � e end result is a sort of oblong cube with pool noodles used as � oaties.

SciSub will take students through the scienti� c process, even encouraging them to write a lab report so they can understand the weaknesses of their data and where their conclusions came from.

“We went into this with very little prior knowledge,” said Rane, who’d taken one programming class, but admitted to feeling intimidated by groups at her high school like the robotics club. “We've been doing this all summer, really acquainting ourselves with what we're trying to do, and we've been able to do it in part thanks to schooling, but also because of the people around us.”

Sci Sub operates out of a space called StudentRND, a hive of rooms in the Bel-Red neighborhood, surrounded by car detailing shops and warehouses. � e idea for Sci Sub � rst started percolating almost a year ago. Chan, Kindel and Rane met through a sum-mer program called LABS and have spent

much of the summer brainstorming a cur-riculum, testing their own scienti� c process and fundraising for the program – it’ll take $1,000 to run the pilot this fall.

“If you look at most elementary and middle

F5 opens Bellevue o� ceSeattle-based F5 is opening a satellite o� ce in Bellevue.

F5, the maker of so� ware products that speed up the deliv-ery of applications, plans to hire 50 so� ware engineers at its new o� ce in Factoria.

“F5 is joining a thriving group of technology powerhous-es in the region’s Eastside corridor,” Karl Triebes, executive vice president of product development and chief technol-ogy o� cer, said in a release. “� is location will grow our ranks of talented engineers and further strengthen F5’s position in Washington’s competitive talent market.”

■ All but two Eastside o� ce submarkets saw a decrease in year-over-year vacancy during Q2 2013. Speci� cally, the Redmond and Bellevue CBD submarkets had 670 and 460 basis point decreases respectively (a basis point is 1/100th of one percent).

■ � e I-90 Corridor had the largest increase in vacancy on the Eastside during the second quarter. Of the 16 avail-able spaces that exceed 50,000 square feet, six of them are located in the I-90 Corridor.

■ Despite a couple of submarkets posting negative absorption, the overall Eastside is doing well. During Q2 2013 the Eastside o� ce market cluster saw a decrease in vacancy of 140 basis points.

■ Vacancy is expected to continue to decrease in the foreseeable future, leading to an increasing likelihood that

new development will be starting in the near term.

Mercer Island resident Tana Senn became the new-est member of the state Leg-islature on Monday when the nine members of the Metropol-itan King County Council named her to the post.

Senn will represent the 41st Leg-islative District, which in-cludes part of Bellevue and Issaquah along with Beaux Arts, Newcastle, Renton and Mercer Island. She replaces former Rep. Marcie Max-well, who resigned to take a position in state govern-ment.

Senn, 42, is a member of the Mercer Island City Council. She is running unopposed for her council seat in November.

Tana Senn

Senn named41st District representativePublic health o� cials have con� rmed a

measles infection in a child who was in several locations in Bellevue and Kirkland during the contagious period.

� e child is a King County resident who was incompletely vaccinated – had one of the rec-ommended two doses of vaccine and at an age earlier than recommended – and exposed to a sibling who had the measles. � e sibling was unvaccinated and was infected while traveling in Europe; public health o� cials previously announced the sibling’s case.

Before receiving the measles diagnosis, the child was in several King County locations where other people might have been exposed. Anyone who was at one of the following sites during the following times was possibly ex-

posed to measles:Aug. 28■ Central Park Tennis Club, 5820 125th

Lane NE, Kirkland, 4-8 p.m.Aug. 29■ Central Park Tennis Club, 5820 125th

Place NE, Kirkland, 2:30-4:45 p.m.■ Central Park Tennis Club, 5820 125th

Lane NE, Kirkland, 4-7:30 p.m.If a person were in the areas at the times

above and not immune to measles, the most likely time they would become sick is between

Sept. 4 and Sept. 20.Public health o� cials have noti� ed the

locations where the public may have been exposed.

Because most people in the area have im-munity to the measles through vaccination, the risk to the general public is low, said King County Public Health o� cials. In addition, outdoor exposure locations carry lower risk.

However, all people who were in the loca-tions around the same time as the individual with measles should � nd out if they have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously, and call a health care provider promptly if they develop an illness with fever or illness with an unexplained rash between Sept. 4 and Sept. 20.

Public Health warns of measles exposure in Bellevue

school classes it’s not really tech-based learn-ing,” said Kindel, whose dad worked in the tech � eld for Microso� and later Amazon. He grew up building computers and shadowing his dad, but hopes to make the curric-ulum accessible even for those with less entrenched knowledge.

“I work as a tutor as well,” said Chan, “and when you can get a kid to latch onto something, that’s when it becomes a lot of fun, you get to see them work it out.”

If successful, the three will expand their class sizes and programming into the spring. Next fall, they’re o� to college. All three say they’d like to go into engineering, though what � eld they aren’t sure of yet.

“For me I de� nitely want to do something engineering-related. For a while I didn’t want to go into engineering, because so many people I knew were. But a� er this experience…[I see] there’s a reason so many people do,” said Rane. “It’s fun and it gives you a sense of accomplishment.”

“� at’s one thing we hope to equip students with,” added Chan. “that sense of ‘I can do any-thing.’”

Which hopefuls lead the pack in cross country?

� e Bellevue boys and Interlake girls, along with Sam-mamish junior Pascale De Sa E Silva are among the state’s hopefuls for championships in 2013.

� e Saints were ninth as a team in 2012 on the girls side, led by the 13th place individual � nish of Antoinette Tansley. Nikita Waghani returns for her senior year a� er a top-50 � nish at state and fellow senior Annie Davis, who was 55th last year, also enters her � nal prep season hoping to carry her team to the podium.

Bellevue’s boys were sixth last year and despite los-ing � � h place � nisher Spike Sievert, look poised to have another strong season behind 2012 state quali� ers Aaron Smith (45th), Kyle Pratt (52nd), Graham Wendle (55th) and Jacob Feinman (56th).

De Sa E Silva was 14th in the 2A girls meet last year and

should once again threaten for district and state titles.

Who leads on hard court?Interlake has been home to a state singles champion on the

boys side for the past three years, � rst with now-graduated Luat Le in Class 2A and then Connor Garnett the past two seasons in 3A.

� e Saints opened without Garnett in the lineup in the opener against 4A Issaquah, and still posted wins in all seven singles and doubles matches, as they did in the second match

of the year against Liberty.Interlake isn’t the only team bringing back top-shelf talent

and a winning pedigree, as the defending 4A team champions from Newport welcome back a pair of players who saw action in the state tournament last season in Alex Namba and Matt Sham, who faced o� on opposing sides last year in the all-Newport 4A boys doubles state � nal.

� at match was won by Dylan Harlow and Sham, with David An and Namba � nishing in second and that experience will pay dividends for both this season.

Repeat for Newport girls in pool? � e Knights used unmatched depth in the postseason to

win the 4A state title despite no individual championships. � ose individual crowns are one of many goals this year’s

squad enters the season with, as head coach Eric Bartleson welcomes back a host of swimmers who got a taste of the competitive edge needed at state last year.

“I’ve always had pretty high expectations for the girls,” Bartleson said, citing the numerous top-� ve state � nishes and individual champions in the program’s history. “� is group, getting that experience, is something really positive.”

Sophomore Elisa Fang helped Newport to a third place � n-ish last year in the 200 medley relay and also made the � nals in the 50 free, � nishing fourth and 100 back, where she was sixth. Fellow underclassmen Jenny Huo and Emily Waddell also swam on the 200 medley relay team and Huo also made the B Final in the 200 IM.

Maggie Pana areturns for her senior year a� er placing � � h in the 200 free (Kiera Watson made the B Final for Newport in the same event last year) to go with a fourth place � nish in the marathon 500 free. She will be joined by fellow senior standout Lorea Gwo, who capped a record-setting junior year with a third place � nish in the 50 free and 100 � y at state, said the excitement from the state title has resulted in an even more dedicated group.

� e entire foursome of Huo, Waddell, Pana and Gwo return to take another shot at the 200 free, where they earned the best � nish in any event in second place. Fang, Pana and Gwo also return for the 400 free relay, where they were third at state last year.

Bellevue (1-0) VS. Bothell (1-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

� e Wolverines and Cougars both enter the game on a short week a� er having played Saturday in the Emerald City Kick-o� Classic.

Bellevue stormed past Skyline, hand-ing the Spartans a 45-7 defeat and thor-oughly dominating the two-time 4A state champions from the opening kick. Senior all-around threat Budda Baker scored a pair of � rst half touchdowns as his team raced to a 35-0 lead behind explosive plays on o� ense and a sti� ing defense that looks poised to match the historically productive 2012 group.

� e Wolverines welcome in Bothell, a team it beat 35-7 last year, a� er the Cougars scored a pair of touchdowns in the waning minutes and came up with an interception to beat Coeur d’Alene in thrilling fashion at Husky Stadium.

Sammamish (0-1) VS. Franklin Pierce (1-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

Sammamish had a near-miss with Ce-darcrest in the season opener, falling 25-20 in Duvall.

� e road gets no easier this week, as the

Totems welcome in a Franklin Pierce team that handed it a 55-0 loss last year and beat Hazen 48-20 to open this season.

Interlake (0-1) VS. Redmond (1-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

Senior quarterback Jason Sass talked openly about his team’s excitement to face former head coach Jason Rimkus during fall camp, and a� er a 44-3 loss to Issaquah they will get their chance when Redmond comes for a visit this week.

� e Mustangs outlasted Mercer Island 28-20 in the � rst game of the year.

Newport (1-0) @ South Kitsap (1-0), Friday, 7 p.m.

� e Knights went on the road and picked up a 35-7 win over Capital behind four scores on the ground, two from senior workhorse Connor Baumann.

� e bruising running back toted the ball nine times for 174 yards, nearly 20 per carry, and was helped by 81 yards and a score from Paul Wells as Newport picked up the season opening win.

South Kitsap, which beat Kentridge 40-0 in its � rst game of the year, will be waiting in Port Orchard before the 4A KingCo slate opens against Woodinville next week.

Bellevue drops Skyline, Newport hoping to stay unbeaten after beating Capital

Frances BurdOctober 19, 1921 - August 23, 2013

Frances S. Burd passed away peacefully on August 23, 2013 in Yakima, Washington, with her three daughters by her side. She was born Frances Jeanne Stickles on October 19, 1921, and lived in southern California during her childhood and early adult years. After marrying Sherman K. Burd, she moved to the Paci�c NW where she graduated from the University of Washington. She and Sherm spent nearly all of their 72 years

of married life in the house they purchased in Bellevue in 1948. Sherm preceded her in death last December. Her sharp memory of people, events and connections was her strong suit making this big world a little smaller. Frances had a gift for nurturing things and watching them grow. She accomplished this with her beautiful yard, her garden, and especially her girls Janice Kay (Jon), Nancy Rae (Geo�) and Stephanie Jeanne (Steve). Besides her daughters she is survived by her loving grandsons Andrew Conrad (Melissa), Benjamin Conrad (Melissa), Ian Mallahan, Peter Weise (Jessica), and Joel Weise.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 14, at 11:00 am at the Lodge at Beaver Lake, 25101 SE 24th St, Sammamish, WA.

Frances and Sherm dedicated themselves to maintaining and improving their south Bellevue neighborhood so that it would remain the family-friendly place their girls enjoyed when they were growing up.

region, Johnson said he’s heard time and time again from com-pany tenants that the industry needs a built environment to retain and attract talent. �at means building residential and o�ce space that meets the needs of today’s employees, like lockers, showers, storage for bikes and a spacious setting.

“Potential employees are looking for urban settings with walk-ability where they can ride their bike, [live] in close proximity to work, and [with] access to good schools. �at’s what we’re really [hoping for] in this 36 acres in Bellevue. We’re cra�ing a neighbor-hood, not just a building.”

Earlier this month, the Lake Bellevue Water Quality Associa-tion and the Lake Bellevue Village Homeowners Association formed the Lake Bellevue Subbasin Alliance with Wright Runstad

and Shorenstein Properties, agreeing to more closely monitor the environment of the lake and the surrounding area while ensuring neighborhood cohesion.

“�at was part of a larger outreach e�ort we had going back to even before the Bel-Red zoning changed in 2009,” Johnson said. “We’ve reached out to all of the properties around the Spring Dis-trict to understand how we can coexist and enhance each other’s environment…It’s something that was very important for us to put in place. We didn’t just want to be talking in the same room, wondering what the other was thinking.”

Next year Security Properties will begin construction on a 316-unit residential complex. Johnson said he expects other tenants will align as construction gets underway. �e Eastside is already recognized as a burgeoning tech hub. On Wednesday F5 Networks announced plans to open a satellite o�ce in Bellevue; and earlier this month Google broke ground on its Kirkland expansion.

“We’re trying to respond to that demand and we’re thrilled to move out of the planning phase,” said Johnson.

SPRING DISTRICTCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

�ough the city is undergoing a comprehensive plan update, Bellevue code doesn’t currently provide a means to address this housing model. Councilmembers and sta� responded to neighborhood comments by touring Spiritwood, coordinating mediation and voting to bring back this emergency ordinance two weeks out, for council review and approval.

�e dra�ed motion to be reexamined at the end of the month could revise the de�nition of family from six unrelated people

to four unrelated people acting as a unit. Amendments could also be made to demonstrate that unrelated individuals operate as a family with a shared lease arrangement, utility expenses, common areas and other circumstances. A new de�nition of “rooming house” could also be included and de�ned as room-ers housed for pro�t, operating outside the city’s de�nition of family.

“It was a good night,” said Stephanie Walters of the Spirit-wood neighborhood, who was in attendance Monday. “It was a really good night…�is has been quite encouraging and enlightening. It makes me feel very good about our leadership.”

Because the new language of the emergency ordinance could make certain homes in Bellevue permitted one day and in viola-tion the next, Council asked to let the ordinance percolate over the next two weeks.

“[Council] saw the urgency of addressing this,” explained Emily Christensen, director of Communications for the city of Bellevue. “We have seen a growing interest in multi-family leases in single-family homes, and so the Council…is going to address this with both a short-term look and a longer-term approach.”

I was two years old when Stars Wars � rst came out. I’m certain my parents didn’t take a shrieking toddler to the theater

so I didn’t see it until eight years later at a slumber party. Today I can’t remember the

girl’s name who hosted the party, but I can remember every minute eating popcorn balls on our sleeping bags and watching the movie. Star Wars was such a ubiqui-tous part of childhood that even the kids who didn’t see the movies knew the plot and char-acters. � ere were action � gures, lunch boxes and

girls who wore their hair like Princess Leia. I wasn’t one of those since I could barely sit still long enough for my mother to braid my hair.

� ere were imaginary light saber � ghts in the back yard with the neighbor kids and we whispered “the Force is strong with this one” into the electric fan on hot summer nights to mimic Darth Vader. If my sister walked into the room “there was a distur-bance in the Force.” It just seems that no

matter what, Star Wars was everywhere. A� er the novelization of the movie, more

books were released. It spawned its own reading revolution. It seems only appropri-ate to celebrate books, literacy and Star Wars. � e second annual Star Wars Reads Day is actually Oct. 5across North America, but King County Library System wanted to enjoy this celebration as long as possible so we have events planned from September through October. � e library system also is collecting nonperishable food donations at these events to support local food banks.

Star Wars Reads Day events will include Lego stations for kids provided by Lego 4 Kids. Members of Alpha Base, a chapter of the Rebel Legion and Garrison Titan of the 501st Legion will be hanging around to pose for photos so don’t forget your camera.

� e second hour of the events will fea-ture Charlie Williams, � e Noiseguy, who will present a parody the Star Wars movies with special props and toys. Naturally there will be sound e� ects to accompany his pre-sentation as he reenacts classic scenes from the movies. Kids and kids at heart will learn to make cool sound e� ects to tell their own stories. Moms, you can thank us later.

� e � rst event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Bellevue Library, 1111 110th Ave NE. Another event will be held from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Newport Way Library, 14250 SE Newport Way, Bellevue.

Heritage CornerA look at Bellevue’s past

Yao GardenIn 1969, the city of Bellevue and the

city of Yao, Japan became “sister cities.” In response, the Bellevue Parks Department set aside a few acres in Kelsey Creek Park to “create a special garden with oriental � avor as a visual and lasting monument to international friendship.”

According to Parks Director Siegfried Semrau, the intention was not to recreate a Japanese garden exactly, but rather to use the placement of stones, plants and other features to evoke the same mood. Parks sta� planted shrubs, diverted and dredged a small stream to wind through the area, and added bridges, benches, and rock formations. � e garden was not fenced, but instead surrounded by screen plantings.

Yao dignitaries dedicated the garden during a trip to Bellevue in the early 1970s and also contributed a stone lantern to the park. � e garden became the site of o� cial ceremonies whenever Yao delegations came to visit Bellevue.

Repeated � ooding in the Kelsey Creek location eventually convinced park sta� that they needed to move the garden elsewhere. In 1992, the Yao Garden was relocated to the Bellevue Botanical Gar-den on Wilburton Hill. As many plants as possible were transplanted from Kelsey Creek to the Wilburton Hill location, and the stone lantern also found its way to the new site.

� e new park opened in October, 1994 in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the partnership between Bellevue and Yao. New features included over 200 tons of

Columbia River basalt and a cedar entrance gate made with recycled timbers. � e gar-den was landscaped with plants native to Japan and the Paci� c Northwest.

Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. To learn more about Bellevue and Eastside history contact the Eastside Heritage Center at 425-450-1049 or visit EastsideHeritageCenter.org.
