Two property tax levy renewals and one bond measure supporting the Bellevue School District got overwhelming support at the polls Tuesday. More than 70 percent of voters ap-proved each measure.

Nearly 20,500 ballots — 28.68 percent of the district's registered voters — were counted as of 4:13 p.m. Feb. 12.

Proposition No. 1, authorizing the replace-ment of the district's Educational Programs and Operations Levy, was passing by 72.87 percent. � e levy funds more than a quarter of the district budget, funding a third of teacher salaries, supporting art and music programs in elementary schools, world languages in middle schools, gi� ed and special education programs and seven-period days in middle and high schools.

Proposition No. 2, authorizing the renewal of the Technology and Capital Projects Levy, was passing by 71.51 percent. � e levy funds the replacement of aging technologies used in Bellevue schools, training for their use and im-provements to existing buildings and facilities.

Proposition No. 3, authorizing the issu-ance of general obligation bonds for district capital construction projects, was passing by 72.25 percent. � e bonds will help rebuild six elementary and middle school campuses, improve the International and Big Picture schools and improve and add capacity to New-port High School and Woodridge Elementary School.

"I'm very excited," schools Superinten-dent Tim Mills said on election night. "But I think it demonstrates the level of support for education voters have in Bellevue."

King County election results will continue to be updated as ballots come in. Results will be � nalized Feb. 25.

Bellevue school measures getstrong voterapproval


Overlake Hospital and Group Health have partnered to provide a recently Food and Drug Administration approved heart surgery to patients of severe aortic valve stenosis.

Tuesday morning, a team of nine physi-cians met to perform their sixth trans-catheter aortic valve replacement on an 87-year-old man. He’s an energetic man and a dancer, but the narrowing of his heart valve has brought on symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain that, le� unchecked, will mean the end of his

active life.“We certainly look for improving a

patient’s length of life, but we also look at improving their quality of life,” said Dr. Scott Haugen, an interventional cardi-ologist from Group Health. Haugen is co-medical director of the transcatheter replacement program, with cardiologist Dr. Ronnier Aviles of Overlake.

Aviles noted that, because of the advanced age of many of the candidates for transcatheter replacement, improved quality of life was of greater concern.

“We have patients that have lived in-dependently for their entire lives,” Aviles said. “(With the symptoms of stenosis,)

they’re looking at giving up independence for one disease process.”

Valve clinic coordinator Nancy O’Mara, a physician assistant monitoring the patient’s surgery from an adjacent control room, noted that he seemed more than a decade younger than his numerical age.

“He doesn’t look or act 87,” she said. “But he will tomorrow.”

Like others who have undergone this procedure, he’s been rejected as a candidate for an open heart valve replacement by two cardiothoracic surgeons due to risk factors for mortality or morbidity — complications

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue city councilmembers passed an 11-year lease agreement for the Belle� eld Building as a win-win on Monday, ensuring new digs for district court and probation services, as well as making way for a city park in Surrey Downs.

While King County provides district court services in Bellevue through an interlocal agreement, the city must provide probation services and a place to house court services. � e Surrey Downs location, built in the 1960s, is reported to require about $2.1 million in improvements to ad-dress code and life-safety issues, which led the council to adopt a 2013-14 budget that included relocation to another facility.

� e lease agreement commits the city to paying $6.7 million to Talon Portfolio Services, LLC, over a period of 11 years and includes three options for � ve-year lease renewals at the 114th Avenue Southeast property. Lease payments will be made from the city's operating funds.

Among the new district court site's highlights are its easy access to bus stops, short walk to the South Bellevue Park and Ride, good distance from residences and adequate parking and space for court sta� , said Max Jacobs, city real property man-ager.

� e city has $4.45 million budgeted for the capital improvement project to renovate the facility. However, Jacobs said it was important to make sure the lease included a signi� cant contribution by the landlord to tenant improvements. Meeting speci� cs for a courtroom facility will be expensive, he said. It is unclear what the city's share of tenant improvements and capital costs will be until construction bids are completed.

Councilmember John Chelminiak said there was a point where the city worried it

would have to move its district court ser-vice to Issaquah, and he is happy an option was found in Bellevue.

"I think it's a win for the neighborhood, it's a win for the community in general," said Chelminiak, "and it's a win for the city, because we'll keep the court here and that's a critical urban city service."

Relocating the district court and proba-tion services must occur before spring 2015, when Sound Transit begins construc-tion of its East Link light rail guideway there. � e city purchased the property from the county for future use as a Surrey Downs park, which is still planned for construc-tion. Sound Transit’s East Link alignment meant revising the 2009 master plan for the park to coexist in the same area.

� e city park board plans to approve the � nal plan on March 11 and then submit it to the City Council for approval. A pre-sentation of the updated master plan can be found at this shortened link: http://bit.ly/1lx88Sm.

Fire department using new de� brillators

Bellevue Fire Department sta� have deployed 29 new state-of-the-art automatic de� brillators to the city's � re trucks and medic units. � e new de� brillators already have been used for victims of cardiac arrest in recent weeks.

� e new equipment is expected to boost Bellevue's cardiac arrest save rate, which at 57 percent is well above the national aver-age, estimated in the 10 percent range.

Bellevue's automatic de� brillators were several years old and nearing the end of their useful life. � e new Phillips Heart

Start FR-3s are smaller, lighter and have improved so� ware that can be custom-ized by � re department sta� as protocols change. � e total replacement cost was approximately $115,000.

� e FR-3 identi� es life-threatening rhythms, prepares to shock and delivers the needed energy quicker and more ef-� ciently. It has been redesigned to provide better feedback to � re� ghters about the rate, depth and quality of CPR being performed.

Other improvements include the ability to de� brillate children with the same pads as adults, and bluetooth capability that allows data to be transferred wirelessly for event review and data collection.

Coal Creek Parkway will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Forest Drive Southeast and Southeast 60th Street beginning Tuesday, Feb. 18 for the second phase of construction of a new bridge.

At 9 a.m. that day, Olympic Pipeline and private utilities will begin work in prepara-tion for the city’s construction, set to begin in April. Coal Creek Parkway will remain one lane in each direction until October,

and the speed limit will be reduced to 25 mph through the work zone.

� e city is building a new bridge to replace a 45-year-old deteriorating culvert. � e project also includes a pedestrian path-way that will run underneath the bridge and connect to the Coal Creek trail and creek restoration to improve salmon migra-tion. � e city constructed the west side of the bridge last year.

� e Bellevue City Council on Mon-day approved a road map for potentially reaching a public-private partnership to construct the long-anticipated and under-funded Tateuchi Center to provide a venue for performing arts downtown.

� e 175,000-square-foot performing arts center, proposed to be constructed at the corner of Northeast 10th Street and 106th Avenue Northeast, is funded at $65 million to date, far shy of its $160 million goal. � e largest contribution came from the At-suhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Founda-tion, for which the center is now named.

� e Performing Arts Center Eastside board is now requesting the city enter a partnership with the organization to allow it to access public funding, However, coun-cilmembers have only approved a process for determining whether such a joint venture is feasible.

"� ere are some issues, some strings at-tached that come up with public funding," said Chris Salomone, director of planning and community development, in his pre-sentation to council Monday.

City Council approved moving forward under an outline that includes assessing the public and economic bene� t of a perform-ing arts center, city funding options, legal requirements of entering such a partner-ship, renewing public and private fundrais-ing e� orts, an extensive public feedback process and exploring a consortium of Eastside cities.

Salomone said a legal study of issues sur-rounding a potential agreement with PACE

could be concluded by July. Final results from the exploratory process and a pre-ferred � nancial option could be provided by the end of 2014, he said.

Councilmember John Stokes said it's been 41 years since the idea of a perform-ing arts center in Bellevue � rst arose, and PACE has come the closest to accomplish-ing that goal. Stokes said it is important the performing arts center be a bene� t to all city residents and that strong public involvement is emphasized throughout the exploratory process.

Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she was eased by King County Council-member Jane Hague's announcement Monday that the county will support the city's e� orts, but needs to know an Eastside performing arts center will involve regional support, "not in terms of cheerleading, but numbers, and how does this whole thing work."

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace said a con-tribution by the city of Bellevue of public funds for a performing arts center should be decided by its residents, calling for such a measure to be ready for placement on November election ballots to avoid the cost of a special election later.

Bellevue to consider partnership on arts center


Washington Gov. Jay Inslee declared a moratorium on capital punishment in the state Tuesday, essentially repealing the death penalty and granting nine death row inmates life sentences rather than execution for as long as his term as governor lasts.

� e governor said his decision is based o� a review by his o� ce of the status of capital punishment in Washington, including a tour of the state penitentiary in Walla Walla, where the death row inmates are appealing their sentences.

“Equal justice under the law is the state’s primary responsibility. And in death penalty cases, I’m not convinced equal justice is being served,” said Inslee from a prepared statement Tuesday.

A former proponent of capital punish-ment, Inslee called it a � awed system in Washington state and more costly than bene� cial. He pointed out 32 defendants have been sentenced to die since the death penalty law was enacted in 1981, 60 percent of those having their sentences overturned.

Inslee said the cost of prosecuting a capital case outweighs the cost of incarcerating a de-fendant for life, as well as the future costs as-sociated with appeals by death row inmates.

Washington Attorney General Bob Fer-guson was quick to issue a response to the governor’s decision.

“Washington’s Constitution and state statutes grant the governor signi� cant pow-ers over the fate of individuals sentenced to death,” Ferguson said in his statement. “Consequently, the governor has the author-ity to hit the ‘pause’ button for executions in Washington.”

Of the nine death-row inmates challenging their convictions, Ferguson said his o� ce is handling four in federal court.

“Consistent with the governor’s announce-ment, the O� ce of the Attorney General will continue to defend the state against cases brought by death row inmates challenging their convictions and sentences,” Ferguson said.

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg issued his own statement calling for an informed public debate where the people of Washington would eventually decide whether to keep capital punishment in the state.

“� e legal implications of the governor’s ‘reprieve policy’ appear limited; our law remains unchanged,” Satterberg states. “In the short term, it is likely to cause more delay, expense and uncertainty. A moratorium alone will not resolve the issues raised by the governor.”

OF NOTE

Overlake is a shopping district adjoining Bel-levue and Redmond neighborhoods that will be transformed over the next decade. Al-

though Redmond is planning much of what will become the Overlake Village light-rail station area, developments in this community-to-be will be key to east Bellevue’s

future as well.Did you know Sound Transit’s East

Link station In Overlake Village will connect surrounding Bellevue neigh-borhoods to Seattle and connections north and south? � is includes neigh-borhoods able to access the Overlake Village station from the north using a new bicycle/pedestrian bridge over state Route 520.

Did you know the new Overlake Village Park is only the � rst of three

parks to be developed in Overlake in the next 20 years? � is park will be the centerpiece of the former Group Health hospital site, but eventually more than nine acres of parkland will be built in Overlake that residents of adjoining Bel-Red neighborhoods can also enjoy.

Did you know that Bellevue and Redmond planners met for two years to develop strategies getting the most bene� t from East Link’s Bel-Red extension? Proposed collaborative approaches emerged that should help both Bellevue and Redmond grow transit-oriented communi-ties in that corridor.

Finally, did you know that South Lake Union — Se-attle’s newest community emerging amid a lot of buzz — could be a template of all that Overlake could be on a somewhat smaller scale?

In South Lake Union, a partnership has been created between city planners, developers and the “Friends and Neighbors of South Lake Union” — a proactive, multi-stakeholder community council recognizing the value of collaborative e� orts around urban form, housing, transportation and economic development. We might all bene� t from South Lake Union’s example.

In thinking about Overlake, a vision of the broader neighborhood is helpful. As urban centers in downtown Bellevue and Redmond have shown, it takes multiple focal points to make a community desirable and livable. In the years ahead, there will be opportunities to add character to Overlake. But it takes a community to make such a place livable by adding a human dimension to the built environment under development.

Get in on the ground � oor now to plan Overlake’s future and establish a framework for what we’d like to see as that district is transformed. Imagine Overlake is launching that “Friends and Neighbors” process with a community information meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. March 10 at the Redmond Library. More details will follow, but meantime, let [email protected] know of your interest or questions.

CVS pharmacy takes strong step against tobacco’s deadly grip

More and more, pharmacies are integrating themselves into the healthcare business, many by providing in-store clinics to customers. It’s

a good move that should make it easier for people to get immunization, see about a sore throat or take care of other straight-forward medical issues.

Now comes news that CVS pharmacy will stop selling tobacco products by October. It’s a move that more phar-macies — and other retailers — should take to improve the nation’s health. Tobacco products, a� er all, are linked to particularly deadly forms of cancer.

It’s possible that this move will cost CVS money. But how can a pharmacy that provides an in-store health care clinic not do this if it’s serious about their customers’ health? Perhaps that’s why the American Public Health Association called it a “historic decision,” and the American Associa-tion of Cancer Research called it a “visionary move.”

Other pharmacy chains, both local and national, are adding clinics to their stores. � ey should follow the lead of CVS and put their customers’ health � rst. Who will be next?

Voters step up for Bellevue schoolsBellevue-area voters did the right thing Tuesday by

approving three school issues. � e two levies and one bond measure will provide the funds and facilities that our children need to continue to obtain the top-notch educa-tion they will need to succeed in life.

A special thanks also goes to the Bellevue Quality Schools committee — the citizens’ group that worked to get the word out about the need to continue Bellevue’s high-quality education.

Diabetes and obesity are two epidemics that our country faces today. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that

in the United States there are currently 26 million individuals (more than 8 percent of the population) over 20 years of age who have diabetes. Further,

another 79 million have prediabetes, a high-risk condition for the subse-quent development of diabetes.

Prediabetes is characterized by glu-cose levels that are above normal, but have not yet reached the threshold for the diagnosis of diabetes.

Given that diabetes is a leading cause of kidney failure, blindness and decreased life expectancy, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been at the forefront in support-

ing studies that will inform us on how to prevent and treat Type 2 diabetes, the form of diabetes that is typically associated with being overweight and obesity.

One of these studies, the Diabetes Prevention Program, demonstrated that it is possible to slow the progression from prediabetes to Type 2 diabetes using a lifestyle intervention or metformin, a medica-tion that is frequently used to treat individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, what the prevention program also showed is that it not possible to prevent the development of diabetes in most individuals over time. Thus, more effective approaches are desperately needed.

When treating patients with Type 2 diabetes, a number of different medications are available. While they all are effective in lowering glucose, their rela-tive advantages and disadvantages have not been fully

compared. Such knowledge is key to guiding health care providers in choosing what glucose-lowering medication is optimal for their patients.

To further advance our knowledge on how best to treat and prevent Type 2 diabetes, the NIH has again committed sizable resources to support clinical trials to combat this disease. Given the highly success-ful and informative partnership of the University of Washington and Seattle Veterans Affairs in diabetes research, residents of the Puget Sound region now have the opportunity to participate in two important studies that could go a long way to improving the health of our nation.

The Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabe-tes (GRADE) Study will examine which is the best medication to add to lower glucose in patients who are taking metformin (www.gradestudy.org), while the Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Study will seek new and better ways to prevent the development of diabetes in those who are at increased risk by virtue of being overweight or obese (www.risestudy.org).

Everyone in our community has a friend or relative who has been impacted by diabetes. In many instanc-es, it may be us who have the disease or are at high risk. We now have the opportunity to help learn more about how to prevent and treat Type 2 diabetes. The time for action is now.

Steven E. Kahn, M.D., is a professor of medicine and director, Diabetes Research Center at the University of Wash-ington, VA Puget Sound Health Care System.

Committed to gun safetyA� er reading a recent letter to the editor from Cy

Baumgartner regarding Initiative 594, I wanted to take the opportunity to express my commitment to com-mon-sense gun safety laws in Washington. During the 2013 legislative session I co-sponsored a similar piece of legislation (http://1.usa.gov/1lFlDPT) that would have added universal background checks for � rearm sales and transfers.

While slightly di� erent in implementation, Initiative 594 also would require universal background checks and will be presented to the Legislature for action dur-ing the upcoming session that began Jan. 13.

Unfortunately, during the 2013 session members of the state House of Representatives failed to hold a vote on a background check bill, keeping it from possibly moving forward toward becoming law.

� is past August I also enjoyed the opportunity to gather with members of our community and the group Moms Demand Action at Mercerdale Park on Mercer Island to support universal background check legisla-tion for � rearms.

� ank you Cy for your letter. As always it is a great honor to serve our community in the Washington state Senate.

Bush much worse on vacationsIn his Jan. 17 letter ("Needless expense by Obamas"), Mr.

Brickman chides the Obamas as "really milking the system for as much as they can get out of it while in the White House."

I'd ask Mr. Brickman to consider the following facts: During two terms as president, George W. Bush spent all or part of 487 days at Camp David on retreats and made 77 trips to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he spent all or part of 490 days.

� e total number of days of vacation or retreat President Bush took while in o� ce over a period of eight years was 977 days, or 32 percent of his total time in o� ce. And that doesn't even include his time at his parents' compound in Maine, which would bring the total to a whopping 1,020 days.

Some historians point out that W took more vacation days than any president since Herbert Hoover and that he spent more time away from o� ce than JFK spent in o� ce.

Getting back to our more recent presidents, the number of vacations days per term are as follows: Reagan - 242; George HW Bush - 543; Clinton - 76; George W Bush - 510; Obama (term 1) - 131. � e facts speak for themselves.

Microsoft counsel talks new CEO, politicsMicroso� General Counsel Brad Smith shared with at-

tendees of Bellevue Downtown Association’s 40th anniver-sary dinner Feb. 6 the behind-the-scenes moments that led up to announcing Satya Nadella as the so� ware company’s next CEO before sharing an impassioned political message for lawmakers in Olympia.

“It was on Monday that we put the � nishing touches on his agreement. It was about four o’clock in the a� ernoon that he signed it. It was an agreement in which he was represented by one of the law � rms in the room,” said Smith from inside Meydenbauer Center.

He joked the company postponed making the an-nouncement until Tuesday, assuming the news would be overshadowed by the � rst Super Bowl victory by the Seattle Seahawks.

“It was Tuesday morning before we all went out to meet the employees, and I was backstage with (former CEO) Steve (Ballmer) and Satya, actually telling him at that moment the White House was on the phone and (senior advisor to the president) Valerie Jarrett was wanting to give her congratulations,” he said.

Born in India, Nadella moved to Bellevue 22 years ago, making the Eastside city his longest point of residency, Smith said, encouraging attendees of the event to congratu-late their neighbor in his new position.

Smith waxed poetic about Seattle history, recalling ef-forts to connect Lake Union to Lake Washington and the Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith speaks before

triumph of the University of Washington men’s rowing team against strong adversity during the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, before laying down some politics.

While he appreciates the 60-day goal lawmakers have set to complete this legislative session, Smith said he’d prefer it if legislators stayed in Olympia until a transportation package is complete. A $170 million de�cit holding back comple-tion of the SR-520 bridge project was the impetus for Smith’s annoyance with the Legislature, having failed to pass a transportation plan last year over partisan di�erences.

“As much as I appreciate what they do, I think the message should go from Bellevue to Olympia, ‘We love you guys, but please, do not come home,’ “ said Smith, “ ‘do not ask for our vote, do not ring our doorbell, do not ask us for political contributions until you do your job, complete your work, do what it takes to �nish this bridge.”

Washington and the Eastside should have lo�ier goals for establishing a genera-tional legacy, Smith added, highlighting the strength of diversity as it relates to business. He used Nintendo of America’s

decision to base itself in Redmond as an example.

“I’ll tell you this, diversity is our strength,” he said. “We need to bring more people to Bellevue and the Eastside.”

Smith also called for a greater invest-ment in higher education and a new model of international partnerships to do that. He said Washington state is in a good place to increase its emphasis on computer science in public schools, which is currently aver-age.

“And by average, I mean it’s pathetic,” he said, pointing at the low margin of Wash-ington schools currently o�ering advanced placement computer science courses.

While the Eastside appears to be a bas-tion for tech companies like Microso�, Smith criticized the lack of funding from the state to support tourism since the eco-nomic downturn in 2008 while other states and cities have done the opposite.

“At a time when people in California are talking about Silicon Valley, people in Utah are talking about the Silicon Slopes, people in New York are talking about Silicon Al-ley, people in London are talking about the Silicon Roundabout,” he said, “it is time for us to let the world know that we have the Silicon Sound.

Bellevue Square scales back newest expansion design

Kemper Development has submitted revised plans for its Bellevue Square expan-sion at the southeast corner of the shopping center, which calls for two towers instead of three.

Bordered by Bellevue Way to the east and Northeast Fourth Street to the south, the Bellevue Square project is part of the $1.2 billion expansion of Kemper Development’s Bellevue Collection, which includes adding a second Lincoln Square tower.

�e revised application �led last week requests design review approval for a three-story retail podium with two 17-story resi-dential towers. �e northern tower will be

residential only while the southern tower will have 204 hotel rooms on the lower 11 levels, with a total of 239 residential units. �e total square footage for the project is 766,579 with 266,856 square feet in the retail podium.

A �ve-level underground parking structure is also included, which would raise parking spaces from 531 to 1,700. �e Bellevue Square southeast corner park-ing garage and Oriental Rug Store will be demolished to make way for the project.

�e project also proposes a right turn lane from Bellevue Way to Northeast Fourth Street, with an estimated 462 new trips to occur in the area during nighttime peak hours.

resulting in a decrease of quality of life — from open cavity surgery. Calci� cation of aortic tissue, for example, can be so severe as to prevent its recovery from surgical breach. Such issues can be more common in elder patients, who have been typical of the team’s patients thus far.

“Most people die within two years of a(n untreated) diagnosis,” O’Mara said.

But transcatheter replacement requires no opening of the patient’s chest cavity and results in a faster recovery time. � e surgical team nicks into an arterial path-way, at the groin or elsewhere, and runs an

intravenous line to the heart. A collapsed replacement valve is then run through the path and placed directly into the damaged valve, where the replacement expands and reopens the regular � ow of blood.

� e procedure is only approved for severe symptomatic cases with a traditional surgery risk factor greater than 8 percent, O’Mara said.

Tuesday’s surgery was complete in a matter of hours. X-ray monitors — one live feed and another capable of playback — showed the pathway the surgeon’s tubes had made to the patient’s heart. For much of the time, they appear as stray hairs in a gray abyss. Periodically the heart material-ized on screen, brie� y and ethereally, under the in� uence of medical dye. � e specter

guides the team to the exact location of the damaged aortic valve, so their replacement expands where it should.

A balloon valvuloplasty opened the valve. “� is is gonna be it,” a voice said over the

surgery room’s intercom.� e lights went down and the team eyed

the X-ray monitor. On screen, the replace-ment valve appeared as a constricted tube, traveling through the surgical sheath closer and closer to its destination. � en, the mo-ment of truth.

“In one fell swoop, we in� ate the replace-ment valve inside the damaged valve,” Haugen said a� er the surgery.

� ey counted o� — one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand — and began the process of ensuring their suc-

cess. � ey noted leakage down the center of the valve — normal, O’Mara said — and were satis� ed there was no paravalval leak-age around its edges.

� e patient would need to be monitored a� er surgery, but if all went well, he would be able to walk out of the hospital in a mat-ter of days, not weeks, Aviles said. Previ-ous patients of successful replacement had experienced a marked improvement in their symptoms soon a� er the procedure.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is still in its early days, but Aviles said he expects medical research in Europe to ad-vance the procedure. � e next steps would include FDA approval of the procedure’s use in patients of only moderate risk for traditional surgery, he said.

Task force arrests 'Cyborg'/'Elephant Man' Bandit� e Seattle Safe Streets Task Force ar-

rested a 44-year-old North Everett man believed to be both the "Cyborg Bandit" and "Elephant Man Bandit" on Tuesday af-ternoon a� er allegedly catching him in the act of his latest bank robbery in Seattle's University District.

Nicknamed the "Cyborg Bandit" for a distinctive cloth he wears over his face during the commission of robberies, and also a hooded sweatshirt and clear, latex gloves and the "Elephant Man Bandit" for wearing a shirt with eye holes over his head for others, the suspect is believed to have been responsible for as many as 30 bank robberies in King and Snohomish counties. He is believed to have robbed a Key Bank and Wells Fargo branch in Bellevue in September and December, respectively.

A news release states the Everett man was caught allegedly robbing the Key Bank on 25th Avenue Northeast around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday a� er task force investigators identi� ed a "lone, white male" in a van suspected to have been used by the bandit allegedly driving around the bank two hours prior, possibly conducting surveil-lance. � e man was allegedly observed put-ting on a mask and entering the building. � e bank reported the robbery and o� cers were waiting outside when he exited the building.

A search warrant was served on the alleged bandit's North Everett residence where authorities report su� cient evi-dence was collected to proceed with their investigation. � e man is not being identi-� ed currently as he has not been formally charged.

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue junior wreslter Christian Villani never had to look far when he needed an inspiring sports � gure.

While his peers practiced ally-oops as Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, or scored backyard touchdowns as local col-legiate and professional greats from the gridiron, Villani’s dreams started much closer to home.

“My brother is my idol,” Villani said of his older brother Josh, a multiple-time judo national champion. “I pretty much started the day I was born.”

Both boys competed in judo tournaments as youngsters, and both found plenty of success.

Josh won some two dozen national championships, while Christian has two national championships from his youth, and a host of state tournament placings in judo.

He brought home a sub-regional wrestling champion-ship at 145 pounds for Bellevue last weekend, punching his ticket to Saturday’s Regionals at Skyline with a technical fall win over Mount Si’s Riley Absher in the � nals.

Whenever he takes the wrestling mat for Bellevue, those judo roots are never far from his mind.

“� e di� erent styles have really helped me out,” Villani said. “It was always hand-in-hand.”

A� er capping his sophomore season with the program’s � rst state championship since 1978, Villani and assistant coach Kevin Bouwman believe this season can bring even greater returns.

“� e competitive edge is de� nitely there,” Bouwman said. “His work ethic is fantastic, he’s so e� ortless, so natu-rally and athletically gi� ed.”

Despite growing immensely in his � rst two years on the

prep mat, and owning a 3A state championship by virtue of his run through the 132 pound bracket last year, Villani said there is still plenty for him to learn. He said Bouwman has provided a strong technical element, with his mindset a constant ode to the brother and father who helped forge him as a competitor in judo.

“All of this is not even me, it is the coaches and the people around me,” he said. “My dad and brother keep me grounded and humble.”

Keeping his mind focused on the future and another state title is the challenge for Villani this year, and one Bou-wman said he has met head-on, even despite a back injury that has limited his time on the mat.

“I still have a lot to learn in everything I do,” Villani said. “I just want to wrestle one match at a time.”

Newport � nished second at the KingCo Swim and Dive Championships Feb. 1 at the University of Washington, led by a win in the 200 yard free relay.

Andrew Pana, Dave Markhervaks, James Campbell and Will Dittig swam a time of one minute, 29.95 seconds to � nish just in front of Mercer Island and give the Knights their lone win on the day.

Markhervaks was third in the 200 individual medley for Newport, with Dittig and Aaron Elhajj also in the A � nal of the event. Dittig also � nished third in the 100 free, with Elhajj second in the 100 backstroke, just tenths of a second behind the winner from Issaquah.

Oey Chang was third in the diving competition with a score of 376.75 in the � nals. Campbell � nished fourth in the 100 breaststroke.

Bellevue junior Todd McCarthy won the 500 free in 4:45.25, an automatic state qualifying time, and helped the Wolverines to a third place � nish in the 200 medley relay.

He also � nished second in the 50 free in 22.25, also in a state qualifying time.

� e Wolverines were third in the team scoring, behind champion Mercer Island and the Knights.

Bellevue and Interlake swimmers will be at Mary Wayte Pool on Mercer Island for the Sea-King swim and dive meet Feb. 14 and 15, with a � nal chance to qualify for state.

� e prelims for the swim competition begins today at 4:30 p.m., with the � nals slated for 5:30 Saturday. � e dive meet takes place at Juanita High School at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

Sammamish quali� ers to the 2A bi-district meet will swim for state spots at Fidalgo Pool in Anacortes Feb. 14 and 15, with competitors from district 1.

A pair of wins, including a 56-48 victory over top-seeded Juanita in Tuesday’s semi-� nals, sent the Bellevue girls basketball team to a � ursday game a� er the Report-er’s deadline against Mercer Island for the

3A KingCo championship. � e Wolverines have won the past two

conference tournaments, and can earn the top seed from the league to the Sea-King district tournament with another win over

the Islanders. Bellevue won its � rst round game 66-52

over Interlake, while Mercer Island beat Mount Si and then Liberty to earn its spot in the title game.

Newport began the 4A KingCo tourna-ment Wednesday against Bothell, looking to earn a spot in Saturday’s winner-to-state semi-� nals against either Ballard or Eastlake.

� e Bellevue boys remained unbeaten in conference with a 58-41 win over Mount Si in the semi-� nals Tuesday, and also faced Mercer Island with a KingCo title and top seed on the line � ursday at Bellevue Col-lege.

Fans from around the county, state and region swarmed Seattle Feb. 5 to celebrate the � rst Super Bowl victory for their beloved Seahawks since the franchise entered the NFL in 1976, creating a scene that will live in the minds and hearts of sports fans forever.

Estimations varied on the number of people lining the Fourth Avenue parade route, inside the team’s home at CenturyLink Field and across the street inside Safeco Field, the home of the Mariners, with some totals ap-proaching 700,000.

Fans climbed on television vans, portable toilets and into trees to get a good look at the � rst team to bring a major sports championship back to the city since the now-departed Supersonics took the NBA crown in 1979.

� e celebration was truly an exhibition of community, with original season ticket holders alongside infants in strollers adorned in 12th Man regalia, and individu-als of varying backgrounds spilling into the streets for the same reason: to cheer their Super Bowl Champion Seahawks.

“We’ll be back again,” head coach Pete Carroll said a� er leading the crowd in a “Sea-Hawks” chant. “We’re just getting warmed up, if you know what I’m talking about.”

One team of Bellevue middle schoolers will move on to the National Science Bowl following a Jan. 25 regional competition win at the University of Portland.

Science In� nity Club � nished in � rst place a� er 17 rounds of questions on physics, energy, biology, astronomy, math, chemistry and Earth science.

Neha Nagvekar, Dhruvik Parikh, Veenadhari Kollipara, Sagarika Samavedi and Rahul Chaliparambil will go to Washington, D.C. in April for the national competition, hosted by the Department of Energy.

Xenon Science Group, also of Bellevue, took third place in the middle school competition. Team member Colin Tang was named one of seven regional all stars. Xenon’s team video, created and voiced by team captain Anirudh Prakash, won the Bowl’s Google SciClips Video contest.

At the high school level, Interlake science teacher Mi-chael O’Byrne took two teams to the competition, taking second and third place.

“� e � nal round was really tough,” O’Byrne said. “Inter-lake 1 was up at half way and a lucky guess was the break-ing point. � e kids are already talking about next year.”

� e Bellevue Arts Museum is highlighting the work of artist cra� smen in a new exhibit imported from the Arizona State University Art Museum and its Ceramics Research Center.

“Cra� ing a Continuum: Rethinking Con-temporary Cra� ” is a comprehensive display of 60 installations in the � eld of cra� . � e exhibit’s breadth — in terms of time periods covered, media and aesthetic sensibility — is a testament to the challenge of how to con-cisely de� ne cra� as an artistic movement.

As patrons enter the exhibit, they are con-fronted by “MM 342 (Tank Chair),” a 1979 Tom Eckert wood sculpture of a rocking chair supported by tank treads. � e installa-tion is illustrative of cra� ’s place in the world of art, between utility and fantasy.

� e museum’s second � oor has been transformed into a microcosm of the move-ment’s progression. It’s a progression from practical-yet-decorative woodturned and ceramic vessels or furniture — what might be considered traditional cra� — to items “very fully transformed from any kind of usefulness,” as local curator Nora Atkin-son described one untitled David A. Rowe sculpture, a ship pieced together from found scraps of wood.

Atkinson said she was excited to have

�irty-nine artists have been cho-sen for Bellevue Arts Museum's bien-nial exhibition, opening in October.

"BAM Biennial: Knock on Wood" is the third such exhibition by the museum and will feature art instal-lations created in wood, "one of the most versatile media in the �elds of art, cra� and design," as described by a press release on the coming exhibit.

�e artists were selected from a

pool of 180 applicants by curating jurors from the BAM, the Arizona State University Art Museum, �e Center for Art in Wood and Vulcan Inc, Microso� co-founder Paul Allen's investment and project management company. A full list of the selected art-ists can be found on the Bellevue Arts Museum website.

"�e quality and scope of propos-als selected by the jury embodies the deep-rooted economic and artistic connection of the region to this natu-

ral resource," BAM Director Stefano Catalani said. "(�is exhibit) will evidence and celebrate wood's ability to 'speak' through the languages of art, cra� and design."

Cash prizes of $5,000 each will be awarded to two of the exhibiting art-ists. One artist will be o�ered a future solo exhibition at the museum.

"Knock on Wood" will run from Oct. 31 to March 29, 2015.Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; [email protected]

Artists selected for BAM biennial“He had the foresight to

realize the cra� movement was really an art movement,” Atkinson said. “�is show looks at where cra� is going and where it has come from.”

�e earliest pieces — cra� works from the 1950s and later, produced by artists such as ceramicist Peter Voulkos and woodturner Ed Moulthrop — are notable for their smooth and pristine perfection. Slightly later in-novators embraced the beau-ty of imperfection through conscious bumps and breaks, while others began to explore cra� materials’ sculptural limits. A Marilyn Levine piece initially appears to be an unremarkable pair of boots — that is, until the viewer realizes all but the shoelaces are ceramic.

As the exhibit progresses, more contemporary pieces delve further into �ne art.

Highlights of the ex-hibit include the eerie fantasy realism of Yoshi-masa Tsuchiya’s wood carved animal sculptures, and Mark Newport’s knitwork explor-ing the gender connotations of superheroism.

“Cra�ing a Continuum” runs through April 27.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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