The first mayor of Bellevue was run out of the city more than 50 years ago over allegations he molested several young girls. Now the city council wants to remove Charles Bovee’s name — and the offense it evokes — from the four-acre park that has carried it for half a century.

Bovee Park had only recently been named when Charles Bovee, was arrested in 1959 for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl; the first mayor of Bel-levue was also accused by several other young girls.

According to a 1994 article by The Seattle Times — based on the reporting of a Bellevue Christian high-schooler — the charges were dropped when Bovee agreed to leave the city, settling and later dy-ing in Ephrata.

A number of the victims came forward to the council in the 90s to request Bovee Park be renamed. It was only recently that another victim approached

the council with the same request. Mayor Claudia Balducci gathered unanimous

support from the council Monday to direct the city’s parks and community services board to begin work on renaming the park.

“I think our parks should not be a reminder of painful history … it was the right thing to do,” Bal-ducci said during a phone interview Tuesday. “It was just the right thing to do to not have a park associ-ated with these terrible allegations.”

The parks board is set to begin the park renaming process at 6 p.m. April 14 at city hall.

The Seattle Seahawks have donated $20,000 toward the purchase of a SwayFun Glider to be installed in Bellevue Downtown Park’s future Inspiration Playground.

The donation supports the Seahawks’ PLAY 60 program, which is a National Football League-wide effort to combat childhood obesity by encouraging youth and families to be active at least an hour a day.

The Rotary Club of Bellevue has raised nearly $2.2 mil-lion for the $5.5 million Inspiration Playground project,

with an immediate goal to raise another $500,000 to begin construction this fall.

A wheelchair-accessible swing with benches for mul-tiple passengers, the SwayFun Glider will be decked out in Seahawks colors.

“We are excited to support this project that enables fans of all ages and abilities the opportunity to partici-pate in play together,” said Seahawks vice president of community relations Mike Flood in a statement.

More information about the playground and Down-town Park improvements will be provided during an open house from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, March 26 at Bel-levue City Hall, 450 110th Ave. N.E.

Four years ago Sam-mamish High School officials rolled out a new educational plan with the help of a $5 million grant and a clear vision, redesigning curriculum to focus on problem-based learning.

Also known as PBL in Sammamish’s halls, the commitment to educa-tion — which works to solve real-world problems, showcasing its application in the local and greater community — has given its students a chance to pursue careers they wouldn’t have thought possible before walking into the building.

Senior Jeyma Gar-cia, 18, will be the first member of her family to

attend university next fall after she was ac-cepted to the University of Washington Both-ell’s registered nurse program.

For a shy student, “terrified” of speaking in front of class, the new structure of Garcia’s classes through PBL allowed her to voice

her opinions in small groups. She said it forced her to learn to be com-fortable with and trust in herself.

“I don’t think I could

have been accepted or be where I’m at without the support of this school,” she said. “It’s given me the motivation to do something.”

Garcia said one mo-ment in the last four years studying through PBL stood out to her most. In her advanced placement comparative government class they were examining what Russia would look like after the Putin adminis-tration.

As part of the class, a Russian studies major earning her master’s degree from UW joined the class discussion, sharing her insight and lending her expertise to the conversation.

A 38-year-old homeless man pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder in the stabbing death of another transient man at a Bellevue Burger King last August.

Steven O. Padilla approached a 65-year-old Jose L. Arias while he was sleeping inside the Burger King on Northeast 24th Street and stabbed him multiple times in the upper torso at about 3:15 p.m. Aug. 17. Witnesses said Padilla exited the fast food restaurant restroom and removed a knife from his jacket pocket, reaching over a partition to stab Arias. The victim staggered

out of the restaurant and collapsed in the parking lot, where he was declared dead at the scene.

Padilla fled the scene, but was arrested 1 1/2 miles away. An Everett Police K-9 unit led police to an office complex on the 14300 block of Northeast 24th Street, where a large, fixed-blade knife believed to have been the murder weapon was recovered.

According to a Bellevue Police news re-lease, Padilla pleaded guilty in King County Superior Court Tuesday to the second-degree murder charge — with a deadly weapon enhancement — and faces 158-258 months in prison when sentenced March 31 at the King County Courthouse in Seattle.

Last week the Metropolitan King County Council approved send-ing the voters in April a nine-year property tax levy lid lift proposal to raise revenue needed to replace the county’s aging emergency radio system.

“Our emergency radio system needs replacement and it’s impor-tant for voters to weigh in on new equipment for first responders,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips.

“This proposed ‘new genera-tion’ public safety communications system will be available to our city, district and county first responders,” said Council Vice Chair Jane Hague. “I ask the voters to carefully consider this replacement of our current radio system.”

The emergency radio system is used to dispatch first responders

(police, fire, EMS) to incidents and allow responders to communicate with each other at those incidents. The system is owned in equal shares by King County, the City of Seattle, Valley Communications Center (Val-leyCom), and the East Side Public Safety Communications Agency.

“This system will expand coverage more broadly throughout the county to help preparedness county-wide,” said Councilmember Kathy Lambert.

The proceeds of the levy would go toward the capital, financing and other costs associated with the re-placement project, the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network project. PSERN would replace aging compo-nents and provide new technology to support emergency dispatch and incident scene communications.

The current system has been in service for approximately 20 years. It consists of 26 transmitter sites and multiple interconnecting microwave

and fiber systems that support more than 100 agencies and approximately 16,000 radio users, each with a por-table radio handset and/or installed mobile radio in a vehicle.

The system faces increasing component failures as it ages, and the vendor of the current system plans to discontinue the sale and repair of all components of the system after 2018. The current system was designed to serve a smaller population over a smaller area when it went online. If approved by the voters, the new system would provide improved cov-erage within the existing service area.

If approved by voters, the levy lid lift would be levied at a rate of no more than $0.07 per $1,000 of assessed value. The levy is projected to generate $273 million in revenues. Based on the 2015 median home value in King County, the cost to the median homeowner would be $26.46 per year.

Paraeducators in Wash-ington would receive a career boost under a plan sponsored by Sen. Andy Hill, which passed in the Senate. Paraeducators pro-vide more than half of the instruction for special-ed-ucation students leading to a need to create standards as well as certification and endorsement processes to provide a career pathway.

“Our children have

diverse and specialized ways of learning,” Hill said. “Paraeducators are an essential link between many of our children and successful learning. This bill recognizes their expertise and strengthens their path to become teachers that will help close the opportunity gap.”

The legislation would provide the first career standards in the nation for paraeducators. Previously, paraeducators received little training from school

districts with limited state hiring standards. Paraedu-cators have the most impact on students in Transitional Bilingual Instructional Programs (TBIP), Learn-ing Assistance Programs (LAP), Federal Disadvan-taged (Title I), Federal Limited English Proficien-cy Program and Special Education.

“Many of the students receiving paraeducator sup-port are English language learners,” Hill said. “By giving paraeducators a path

to becoming teachers, we will dramatically increase the cultural competency of our state’s teachers. This is a major step for helping to ensure all students receive a quality education.”

In 2014, Hill introduced legislation to create a work-group in the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) to establish these standards and processes. This year’s follow up legisla-tion was developed based on the recommendations from the PESB.

Limit vaccination exemptions

Our country is experiencing a signi� cant measles outbreak, on a pace to be the worst year since 2000, mostly thanks to negligent parents who don’t immunize their children.

Washington has one of the worst vaccination rates in the country. In 2012, an alarming 9 percent of Clark Elementary students were unprotected. At Issaquah High, 65 students were exempt.

Many ask, “My kid is vaccinated, so why worry?” Because no vaccine is perfect. � e measles vaccine is very e� ective, which is why unvaccinated children are 35 times more likely to contract measles, but it’s “only” 95 to 98 percent e� ective. So if a child with measles enters a classroom full of vac-cinated children, the odds are good that one student will become infected. Do you want your child to be that one? With 18,000 students in the Issaquah School District, 360 to 900 vaccinated students could become infected.

Several legislatures, including Wash-ington, Oregon, and California, have realized that allowing exemptions for “personal/philosophical” reasons has endangered everyone and have intro-duced bills to eliminate them. HB 2009 is sponsored by 27 representatives from both parties, including Issaquah repre-sentatives Clibborn, Magendanz, and Senn. Please call your legislators and ask them to end the harmful personal exemption.

Net neutrality � nally arrives

With the recent FCC vote in reclas-sifying broadband Internet service as a “common carrier,” net neutrality has � nally arrived in the United States.

Even with the approval of these rules to protect the internet, I wonder what is to come in the legal battle for the future of net neutrality. With compa-nies such as Verizon, and AT&T being some of the largest wireless carriers in the nation, who also opposes the proposal so strongly, it is worrying as to what these big companies will do in response to the laws.

For net neutrality to be especially challenged by the big wireless service providers and cable companies, I think it would seem likely for the ISP’s to � le a joint lawsuit against the FCC, in order to go against the rules.

I think the situation is rather tense, when the internet is known to be promoted for its size and openness to the public, that the large support for net neutrality is only recently recog-nized. I think the situation has become better with the recent vote, as the best interests of the public is to avoid a world where ICP’s could o� er consum-ers higher tra� cking priorities, by paying more. � e battle isn’t over, but hopefully things don’t take a turn for the worse.

Lawmakers � nd money for education - but not enough to meet McCleary

A stream of bills � owing through the state House and Senate would pour several hundred million more dollars into educating children in Washington.

But little, if any, of that proposed spending would bring the state closer to fully funding public schools, as required by the McCleary state Supreme Court decision. Lawmakers aren’t sweating it too much — not yet, anyway — because state tax revenue is expected to increase in com-

ing years a� er years-long recession.� ey know that satisfying the court will require a signi� cant sum — in excess of $1 billion — in the next state budget. But there is a ra� of other issues involving stu-dents and teachers that cannot be ignored, even if they, too, cost a bit of money. “I think people understand that there are two conversations going on here,” said Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self, D-Mukilteo, vice chairwoman of the House Education Committee. � e committee had approved

37 bills as of last week. “We’ve already been told by the court what has to be funded,” she said. “We have to continue � xing the (entire) system. We cannot put our children on hold. We must work to make sure all children in Washington succeed.” Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, chairman of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee, said law-makers understand a lot more money will be spent on educa-tion this session, and getting the most out of those dollars is what other bills address. His panel has passed 39 bills. “Money has never been the issue. � e issue has been the consequences and what you fund and how you fund it,” he said. “How do you get that money to work harder?”

parks board, said she fully supports removing Bovee’s

name from the park.“My feeling is that I don’t

ever want a victim to feel ashamed about what hap-pened to them,” Robinson told the Reporter Tuesday.

“They shouldn’t be ashamed and they shouldn’t be afraid to come forward. They should never feel ashamed for what happened to them.”

In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers were violating Washington’s constitution by not ensuring the state pays the full cost of a basic education for elementary and secondary students. Justices set a 2018 deadline to comply. Last year they found lawmakers in contempt for moving too slow.

The state will have spent $15.3 billion of its general fund on public schools in the two-year budget that ends June 30. Another estimated $2 billion to $2.5 billion will be needed to meet the McCleary obligation by 2018 — and that’s without spending money on other education programs.

In December, Gov. Jay Inslee proposed a budget for the next biennium containing roughly $1.5 billion for McCleary-related items, including expanding all-day kin-dergarten statewide, reducing class sizes in grades K thru 3 and providing a cost-of-living increase for teachers. There’s also money for materials, supplies and operating expenses.

House Democrats are expected to release their budget the week of March 23. Senate Republicans will be the last to put forth a budget this session.

In the meantime, the education committees in the House and Senate had each approved nearly 40 bills as of last week which, if enacted as written, would cost between $300 mil-lion and $350 million in the next biennium.

The most expensive is House Bill 1491, introduced by Rep. Ruth Kagi, R-Seattle. It would cost $204 million, with the money spent to expand the state’s pre-school program, known as Early Achievers, and improve the quality of child care services. Litzow wrote a companion measure in the Senate.

Early learning programs are not legally part of basic education, so they aren’t considered part of the McCleary case. But Democrats and Republicans say early childhood education is critically important to academic success in later grades and must not suffer because of the spending elsewhere mandated by the court.

“We’re pouring billions of dollars into K-12. We need to start investing in early learning. It’s the best return on investment,” Litzow said.

Among other bills are ones to provide low-income elementary students breakfast so they don’t start the school day hungry; to ensure students who are removed from school for disciplinary reasons continue receiving academ-ic instruction; and requiring schools to let parents of third-graders know if their child is not reading at grade level.

As of Friday, some of the bills had passed one chamber and were headed to the other.

House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, said this is a key period in the session. The focus of legisla-tors begins to pivot toward the budget, and authors of all those bills try to attract broad enough support to secure consideration.

“Everybody knows more money is going to go to Mc-Cleary,” he said. “Nobody knows how much more after that.”

It’s not officially spring, but the market for residen-tial real estate in Bellevue has gotten warmer. Data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) indicate more listings and sales activity occurred in February this year when compared to a year ago.

The number of single family homes and con-dominiums for sale in NWMLS area 520; which includes all of Bellevue west of I-405, was up more than 50 percent last month. In February, 2014 there were 115 homes and condos on the market. At the end of February this year, the inventory stood at 173 homes. Of those, 104 were condos.

Despite fewer days in February, 79 new listings were added to the market, up from 59 a year ago. The new listings were split

between 34 condos and 45 single family homes.

As of March 1, there was nearly nearly six months of standing inventory in area 520.

There were 14 single family home sales made fi-nal last month in area 520, down from 24 in February a year ago. But the number of single family homes that are in the process of being sold this past month was up 25 percent compared to a year ago. There were 28 home sales pending last year and 35 this year. The median sales price of single family homes that sold last month in map area 520 was $1.545 mil-lion, up from $920,000 a year ago.

In map area 530; that includes all of Bellevue east of I-405, 96 homes and condos were added to the market last month up from 89 a year ago. Of that amount 60 were single family homes and 36 were condominiums. But

despite the influx of new inventory, the number of active listings at the end of the month totaled 85, up just three from a year ago. The number of home sales pending at the end of Feb-ruary was flat with 88 sales in process. There were 89 a

year ago. As of March 1, there

was less than six weeks of inventory available.

The median final sold price for single family homes last month was $477,000 up 7.5 percent from a year ago.

King County Council OKs update to disaster response plan

Updating a disaster response plan in King County requires coordinat-ing with 27 different cities and towns and 26 special purpose districts in a area that is home to more than 2 mil-lion people. No small task.

On March 9, the Metropolitan King County Council gave its unani-mous approval to the 2014 update of the King County’s Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan serves as

the county’s blueprint to alleviate the death, injury and property damage that can result from a natural disaster in the region.

The council must update the plan every five years.

“Approving our updated hazard mitigation plan is so important as it’s the foundation of our plans for preparedness,” said Councilmember Kathy Lambert. We know disasters are going to happen and it’s impor-tant that we are continually prepar-ing and updating and practicing so we can be ready for them. This vital plan sets us up for coordination with our city and district partners.”

The plan addresses the follow-ing natural hazards, listed here in decreasing order of county-wide risk/probability: earthquake, severe

weather, severe winter weather, flood, landslide, wildfire, dam failure, avalanche, volcano and tsunami.

The plan also provides an overview of how risk from these hazards will change as a result of future climate change impacts. King County has experienced 31 events since 1956 that triggered a presidential disaster declaration, the majority of which have been severe storms and two of which were earthquakes (1965 and 2001).

Adoption of the plan meets federal hazard mitigation planning require-ments and allows the county and the other planning partners to apply for funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant programs.

�e citizens advisory committee for the East Main Station area planning ahead of Sound Transit light rail is ramping up its vision for what redevelopment should look like east of 112th Avenue Northeast.

Currently zoned for o�ce and limited business, the area south of Main Street and the Surrey Downs neighborhood has been targeted by the city for transit-oriented develop-ment based on its proximity to a future East Link station. �is does not include the Belle�eld O�ce Park.

�e CAC has been meeting monthly since September — except in December — and this month will begin meeting

twice per month to nail down what transit-oriented devel-opment belongs near the East Main Station.

“�ere’s a lot of interest in both the land use … and also looking at other properties on the east side of 112th,” said Kate March, East Link community outreach and relations lead for the city. “Really nothing too substantial has started yet, but that’s about to ramp up.”

�e CAC met Tuesday at city hall to discuss transporta-tion issues, such as connectivity to the development area for Surrey Downs residents who will lose access to 112th at Southeast First and Fourth streets once light rail is constructed.

�e advisory committee will meet again March 24, where representatives from Wig Properties will discuss and take feedback about redevelopment potential for its newly acquired Red Lion Bellevue hotel.

Leshya Wig from Wig Properties tells the Reporter the development company plans to let the Red Lion continue operating the hotel at 11211 Main St., in the near term.

“We have not yet developed a vision for how the site might be redeveloped — because we �rst would like to get input from the citizens advisory committee (CAC), the City of Bellevue, and the larger community about what they would like to see on this site,” Wig stated in an email March 5.

Wig Properties acquired the Red Lion Bellevue two weeks ago for $35.4 million a�er an initial buyer was un-able to complete the transaction, said Jason Rosauer, part of the Kidder Mathews team that represented the Red Lions Hotels Corporation for the sale.

The Winters House �e Frederick W. Winters House, listed in the National Register of

Historic Places, was built in 1929 by Frederick and Cecilia Winters. �e Winters purchased 10 acres along Mercer Slough in 1917 to establish a wholesale �orist business.

�e Winters House is important for both its distinctive architec-tural character re�ecting the Spanish Eclectic style and its association with bulb growing and the �oricultural industry in King County and Washington state. It’s one of the few buildings associated with the past agricultural activity in the Bellevue area that remains on its original site and has retained its architectural integrity.

year when information came up during the internal investigation that would have been grounds for termination if found to be true, according to Bellevue Police Ofc. Seth Tyler.

Manning notified the city on Feb. 26 that his last day would be Friday, March 6; Interim Chief Jim Mont-gomery accepted his resig-nation on Monday, March 2. Tyler states because Manning resigned before the investigation could be completed, it will be closed with no discipline imposed.

“I am glad it has a resolution at the PD,” said Bellevue Police Lt. Lisa Pa-tricelli, who filed the com-plaint in October that led to the investigation. “I pride

myself on my integrity and somebody — meaning John Manning — is questioning my credibility and trying to destroy my livelihood … by fabricating a story.”

Patricelli said Manning made derogatory comments to her and to others about her, prompting her to file a complaint. She said more

than her own integrity, she was concerned how a high-ranking officer making statements like Manning was serving the residents of Bellevue.

“The tip of the iceberg was when he basically accused me of falsifying training documents,” she said. “That’s where I drew the line.”

Manning was demoted from major to lieutenant in 2013 by former Chief Linda Pillo for having an extra-marital affair with Capt. Autumn Fowler, who was also demoted to lieuten-ant as part of the chief ’s disciplinary actions. An anonymous police captain reported the relationship to the department and Man-ning’s wife. Police reported Manning and Fowler were demoted for not reporting the eight-month affair and

due to department policy requiring officers to avoid conflicts of interest.

The lieutenant had also been the one whose report to department leadership resulted in Pillo removing

Ofc. Dion Robertson from the bomb squad last year, Robertson having attended an unsanctioned Bellevue Swat Team appreciation event at the Issaquah Bre-whouse in November 2013.

Manning reported to super-visors witnessing the officer consume two beers before getting into a bomb squad truck and driving to another officer’s house where he continued drinking.

SR-522 and I-5 in Lynwood. I-405 experiences up to eight hours of conges-tion daily, the transportation department failing to keep HOV lanes operating at 45 mph as required by state and federal guidelines 90 percent of the time.

Tolling equipment was installed on I-405 last year, with the expectation express lanes will open in the fall. The Washington State Department of Trans-portation will use the summer to educate commuters about the impending change, said Emily Pace for WSDOT’s Tolling Division.

The state transportation commission will hold another public hearing regard-ing the proposed tolling fees before voting whether to adopt the rate structure 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 at Kirkland City Hall, 123 Fifth Ave., Kirkland.

The recommended average toll for the express lanes will be between 75 cents and $4 at the start of the tolling system. More congested days would fall between $4 and $10, the latter being the maximum and expected only 10 percent of travel days. Seventy-seven percent of trips are expected to be below $1, according to the WSDOT.

But in order to cover operation costs, the state transportation department re-ports a two-occupancy carpooling system

drivers are using now won’t work. Vehicles with two or more occupants can use the lanes for free, but not during peak hours: 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. Motorcycles, transit vehicles and vanpools will also be exempt.

Commuters were upset with this change and told the commission so during a pub-lic comment session at Bellevue City Hall in early February, many claiming they would be unable to find a third passenger to qualify as a carpool and avoid tolling.

Jennifer Rash with the Tolling Division said commuters are encouraged to use rideshareonline.com to either start or find a carpool, and WSDOT is working on an incentive program to minimize the impact from the new carpool requirements.

Paying the tolls will be cheaper for those using Good To Go! — a pre-paid pass drivers mount in their vehicles. Those choosing to pay by mail face a $2 incre-ment charge. Drivers can also register their license plate for photo identification (Pay By Plate).

For a vehicle to qualify for free carpool-ing, drivers will be required to use the new Flex Pass, a transponder that lets the driver change the setting to HOV-mode to avoid being charged. This would be used in conjunction with the Good to Go! pass. A Flex Pass can be purchased at a one-time cost of $15.

Washington State Patrol troopers are expected to conduct emphasis patrols once the express lanes open, but for how long remains uncertain. Anyone cross-ing into the express lanes at double white lines dividing them from normal lanes or falsely claiming a carpool exemption faces a $125 fine.

A state Senate transportation pack-age — passed to the House — includes funding to continue express lanes from Bellevue to Renton and a State Route 167 direct connector. Express lane toll revenue from I-405 must be used for 405 projects, Pace said, adding WSDOT was asked by the Legislature to suspend its environ-mental impact study regarding tolling Interstate 90 to complete the State Route 520 bridge, also funded under the Senate package.

Bellevue city staff expect an independent analysis of future energy demands on the East-side to be completed ahead of the start of the scoping process for an environmental impact statement needed for Puget Sound Energy to

proceed with its Energize East-side project.

Utility Systems Efficiencies was contracted by the city in December — at up to $100,000 — to perform an independent technical analysis of PSE’s Energize Eastside project, which proposes 18 miles of 230kV lines between Redmond and Renton and another electric substation to avoid capacity issues predicted as soon as 2017.

USE is now using a 2014 load forecast provided by the energy company through a security portal to determine if PSE is correct in the timing, purpose and need for the project, said Nick Matz, city senior planner. Staff expect to report back more information on March 30.

Bellevue and four other Eastside cities within the PSE project area have recently launched a website (energizeeastsideeis.org) for updating the environmental impact statement process, the energy company contacting 50,000 customers about the site.

Real EstateYour guide to Real Estate and Home Buying & Selling

Love at first sight, any time of year

If you’d like to sell your home or buy a new property, don’t delay just because you’ve heard the fall is a slow time for real estate. Indeed, just as falling in love at first sight is never out of season, you can find the home of your dreams, or a buyer interested in your property, no matter what time of year it is. Because life is unpre-dictable and reality can call us to move on to another phase of life in any season, wonderful houses are placed on the market

all year round.

All you need to finalize a sale is for one buyer to be really interested in acquiring a home such as yours. Likewise, whether there are 10 or 100 homes for sale in your preferred neighbourhood, it only takes one house to start your heart racing, pro-vided that it has all the characteristics of your dream home.

The role of a real estate agent takes on even more importance when you decide to buy or sell a house during a period when the market is not as active. Thanks to their expertise, experience, and contacts, the real estate agent will be able to find the right buyer for your property. If you are a buyer, your agent should also be able to deduce your tastes and needs and be able to handpick a few properties that will strike your fancy.

Their secret: real estate agents are trained to lis-ten to the needs of their clients and to know the strong points of all the properties on the market.

Using the services of a real estate agent means avoiding the unpleasant surprises

that can come from concluding private deals.

Using the services of a real estate agent means avoiding the unpleasant surprises lying in wait for those who choose not to work with a professional.



Village Theatre’s next season is sure to have something appealing for all audiences, said Steve Tomkins, the theater’s artistic director, following last weeks announcement of the upcoming schedule.

The lineup, which includes; “Snap-shots,” a new musical “scrapbook” featuring the music of “Wicked” cre-ator Stephen Schwartz; Lerner-Loewe’s musical classic “My Fair Lady” for its Christmas production; “Crimes of the Heart,” a Southern Gothic comedy; “My Heart is a Drum,” a “spirited” new coming-of-age musical set in Ghana; and the Broadway smash “Billy Elliot,” with music by Elton John.

Tomkins said the season — which runs Sept. 30 to July 3, 2016 in Is-saquah and Oct 23 to July 31, 2016 in Everett — complements the success of the current season and a commit-ment to taking theatrical risks while continuing to focus on incredible production and stories.

Bellevue Brewery searching for second location on EastsideBY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

John Robertson and Scott Hansen have a simple message for their

brewery, “Go big or go home.”

The duo’s passion for suds and hops, paired with the mad genius of head brewer Tony Powell, has

crafted an ideal recipe for success.

Since its doors opened in December 2012, thirsty and hungry patrons have been packing the Bellevue

Brewery, located in the cen-ter of an industrial complex at 1820 130th Ave N.E.

Despite only having its stout available for the grand opening, it didn’t seem to bother the dozens of people who couldn’t seem to get enough of their

beer, Robertson said.“I think it has to do with

the quality of the product,” Robertson said. “There’s a lot of breweries coming online and a lot will fail because their product isn’t there.”

He added that the main

reason the beers have done so well has almost every-thing to do with its creator, Powell, who always seems simultaneously obsessed with whatever he’s currently brewing and what he wants

2015 Kids Co. Summer Camps





















This summer, Mercer Island’s Stroum Jewish Com-munity Center will host the largest Jewish camp in the Pacific Northwest.

The camp, for kids ages 5-16, has been operating since 1959 and is open to everyone regardless of religious affili-ation. The J welcomed nearly 1,000 individual campers in Summer 2014.

Sessions range from one to three weeks, and themes include sports, science, arts and crafts and specialty camps like photography, survival/wilderness, Lego and film production. This year, Youth

Theatre Northwest will help run the performing arts camp. The largest and most popular summer camp is Camp Kef. “Kef” means fun in Hebrew.

Last year, camp adventures included “ice blocking” at Gas Works park, kayaking, hiking with rescue dogs at Rattle-snake Ridge, paint balling and having all-camp activities: a luau, color war and Israel Day.

Camp content and activities are designed to inspire and teach universal values such as respect, helping others and welcoming everyone. Every Friday afternoon, campers and counselors gather for

Shabbat and a song session, which families are welcome to attend.

The J also provides op-portunities for high school and college students to gain job and leadership experience as staff members for the Wel-come Desk, camp counselors or before and after school caretakers.

“There’s something for everybody,” said camp direc-tor Mark Rosenberg. “There’s Jewish content, but the values are universal.”

Not even a 68-66 loss to the Bishop Blanchet Braves in the Class 3A girls state basketball tournament third place/fifth place game on March 7 at the Tacoma Dome could dampen the spirits of Bellevue Wol-verines forward Tatiana Streun.

The Wolverines, who had a goal of winning the Class 3A state championship, may not have attained their ultimate dream, but Streun and the Wolverines left Ta-coma with their pride intact and a fifth-place finish.

“We’re definitely sad because we know we could had done better. It is just disappointing because we had so much talent and it just didn’t work out the way we wished it would have,” Streun said. “Sometimes things just don’t work out. You have to look at the bright side. We had a great season and we all played very well together. It was great. It was hard to lose this last game but we’ll do better next year.”

Streun finished with a

team-high 21 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. The Wolverines had a chance to take the lead after regain-ing possession of the ball with 12.1 seconds left in regulation, trailing 67-66. The Wolverines put the ball in guard Mandy Steward’s hands. Steward dribbled up the right side of the floor before hoisting a shot from the baseline toward the hoop with two seconds left on the clock. Bishop Blanchet’s defense swarmed

Steward and the shot was off the mark. The Braves added one more free throw on their ensuing offensive possession, preserving a third-place finish courtesy of a 68-66 victory.

Bellevue head coach Leah Krautter said the game plan was to be aggressive on the final offensive possession of the game.

“We knew they were in the bonus. We just basically

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

With the Bellevue Wolverines trailing the Lakeside Lions 57-54 and eight-seconds left in regulation in the Class 3A fourth place/sixth place game, Javon Jefferson hoisted a three-pointer from the corner in an attempt to tie the game.

Unfortunately for the Wolverines, the jumper didn’t fall. Lakeside guard Isiah Brown corralled the rebound before be-ing fouled with 5.5 seconds in the game. Brown made 1-of-2 free throws to clinch Lakeside’s 58-54 victory against Bellevue on March 7 at the Tacoma Dome. Brown

scored a game-high 31 points in the contest. The Wolverines were in the game despite shooting 17-for-49 from the field. Bellevue junior guard Sharif Khan, who finished with 14 points in the loss, said he wished the seniors had experienced a vic-tory in the last game of their high school careers.

“It is very disappointing we couldn’t send them out with a win,” Khan said. “We worked really hard and we really wanted it. Unfortunately we just fell a little short.”

wanted to attack the bas-ket and see if we could get a lay-up off of it or a foul call. It just wasn’t there,” Krautter said.

Krautter was proud of

her team’s resolve not only at the state tournament but throughout the entire 2014-15 season.

“It’s tough to end the season like this because it doesn’t show or define the kind of season we had. I’m really proud of the way we fought. We gave it every-thing we had,” she said.

Lynnwood dominates Bellevue in semifinals

The Lynnwood Royals’ stalwart defense presented a plethora of problems for the Bellevue Wolverines in the Class 3A semifinals on March 6 at the Tacoma Dome.

Lynnwood, who limited Bellevue to just 10 field goals in the contest, cruised to a 63-37 victory to advance to the Class 3A state cham-pionship game. Bellevue scored just six points in the second quarter. Lynnwood held Bellevue’s dynamic duo of Shelby Cansler and Stew-ard to a total of 13 points.

“We were focused on Shelby (Cansler) and Mandy (Steward),” Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards said. “Those were the two players we hoped to pay extra attention to and we did that. We knew those were their two leaders in terms of scoring the basketball and we wanted to limit their scoring.”

The loss against Lyn-nwood dashed Bellevue’s aspirations of winning a state championship.

“This one hurts really bad,” Krautter said. “We have been here (state tour-ney) three years in a row, so we will figure out how to get over it. It just wasn’t our day.”

Bellevue College finishes the 2014-15 season with an overall record of 28-5 BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Basketball has been one of my favorite sports ever since I stepped on the court for the first time as a kid in 1989 at Beards Cove’s Santa Maria Park in Belfair.

While I have never been especially adept at playing the game, basketball is a sport I have enjoyed watching since childhood. It didn’t matter if it was professional, college, high school or a recreational league contest— I could never get enough of watching the sport. Nothing beats watching a finely tuned basketball squad work together as a complete unit. This year I was blessed to cover the Bellevue College Bulldogs men’s basketball team. The Bulldogs, who compiled an overall record of 28-5 during the 2014-15 season, captured fifth place at the 2015 Northwest Athletic Conference tournament on March 10 in Kennewick. The Bulldogs went 3-1 at the NWAC tourney, registering victories against Umpqua,

was proud of his team for capturing a sixth-place finish at the Class 3A state tournament.

“I told them even though in the end it wasn’t the outcome we were hoping for that they had a lot to be proud of. We had a great year. It’s hard to win a state championship. They have nothing to hang their heads about,” O’Connor said. “The fact that most of these guys have been playing together since grade school is pretty special. They have shown a lot of improvement through their four years of high school. It was very reward-ing to be part of and see their growth.”

Khan concurred with O’Connor’s sentiment. The Wolverines will graduate five seniors off of this year’s squad this June.

“We had great team chemistry. It got us to this point,” Khan said of the state tournament. “We always worked together and we never gave up. It was great playing with these guys. It’s going to be differ-ent next year without the seniors. I’m going to miss them.”

Bellevue dominates Marysville-Pilchuck in loser-out game

After suffering a 74-65 loss to the Rainier Beach Vikings in the Class 3A quarterfinals on March 5, the Bellevue Wolverines got back on track with a convincing 81-45 win against the Marysville-Pilchuck

Tomahawks on March 6 in a loser-out contest. Four different Bellevue players consisting of Kyle Foreman, Gunther Klimes, Mikey Henn and Andrew Kenny all scored in double figures. Foreman finished with a team-high 15 points in the win.

“We just played our game today. Yesterday we slipped up a little bit but today we got to our lead and we just kept ex-

tending it,” Henn said. “Every-body was on fire. Everybody was hitting their shots.”

Foreman said his team was determined to right the ship after losing to Rainier Beach.

“We moved the ball and we didn’t rush shots. We knocked down shots today and that was the difference,” Foreman said. “We just played great team ball. I’m proud of these guys.”

The Sammamish Totems went 0-2 at the Class 2A state tournament in Yakima. East Valley (Spokane) de-feated Sammamish 52-46 in the Class 2A quarterfinals on March 5. The Lynden Lions defeated Sammamish 43-24 in a loser-out game on March 6. The Totems finished the 2014-15 season with an overall record of 13-13.

Lane and Highline. I’m not surprised by the Bull-dogs’ success this season.

The way they played the game and carried themselves is every coach’s dream. They moved the ball flawlessly and flus-tered their opponents with their ability to share the basketball.

No one on the Bull-dogs roster cared about who scored the points or who got the credit. The first time I watched them play I could tell they were going to be special. They crushed the Whatcom Or-cas 76-44. That particular night was a microcosm of the Bulldogs season as five players scored in double figures.

“They’re so fun to coach. They like each other, play together and it’s just good team basket-ball. It’s about as good of a team brand of basketball I have had in my 12 years here as coach,” Bellevue head coach Jeremy Eg-gers said on Jan. 28. “It’s unique to have that great of team unity.”

The Bulldogs’ ability to share the basketball was evident during their 14-

game winning streak from late December through mid-February. Even after losing against Clark in the NWAC quarterfinals, the Bulldogs didn’t hang their heads and finished the season strong with wins against Lane and Highline to take fifth place.

The cupboard will be far from bare next season. Even though the Bulldogs are losing sophomores Jalen Ward, Dominique Jordan, Dominic Smith and Anthony McLaughlin to graduation, they will return key players Dom Holub, Andrew Medalia, Cory Nevin, Brian Zehr and Addison McIrvin to the roster for the 2015-16 season.

Eggers has a keen eye for recruiting unselfish players who fit specific roles on his squad. I’m sure next year’s incoming freshman class will exude the team first philosophy Eggers fosters and pro-motes with his basketball program.

Sunday, March 8, 2015. She knew she was near her life’s end, and was at peace with its imminence. Her struggle with lung cancer and COPD was prolonged, but rarely painful. She was blessed to spend her � nal months in the constant company of family.

In accordance with her desires, she will be cremated and her remains scattered at sea -- she was born on an island, and always lived on or near the water; the ocean brought to her the love of her life and kept him safe all his years in the Navy -- so the ocean is where her remains will rest.

It was her express wish that there be no funeral service. For those who want to remember her in a special way, don’t send � owers – please donate to the Swedish Cancer Institute in

Dorothy L. ThieryFebruary 21, 1922 to February 3, 2015

‘Dot’, as she was known to her friends, was born in Milwaukee, WI and was one of 7 children. She married her husband Lowell in 1946. They shared 46 memorable years together, moving to Bellevue in 1963.

Reading was her � rst love which she taught her 3 daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to enjoy while nestled in her lap. In later years, she lived vicariously through her books by

reading one a day.Music was her second love and always � lled her home. She

watched all the music shows on TV, and kept a scorecard to vote for her favorites on Dancing with The Stars.

Dorothy earned a degree from Bellevue Community College in her 50’s and was an avid swimmer at Samena Club into her late 80’s. She loved to dance, play piano, trap shoot, � sh, garden, bake, joke, and play games. Her favorite thing was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed being told that she wasn’t a ‘typical’ 92 year old and was very young at heart.

Lochmoor was Dorothy’s home for 50 years where she loved waking up every morning to enjoy the spectacular view and ‘her’ Mt. Rainier. She will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered by all her family, friends and wonderful neighbors.

verify what we were studying,” Garcia said. “She didn’t just know what we were talking about, but agreed with most of it.”

Her classmate, 18-year-old Rosendo Ruiz, said that class showed him it was OK to take a chance and pitch his ideas.

A puzzle junkie, Ruiz said PBL opened his eyes to alternative methods for solving whatever problem was in front of him.

“If I didn’t learn the PBL basics, I wouldn’t even have thought of other ways to solve prob-lems,” he said. “I want to study criminology and forensic science. I don’t think I could without PBL. I like �nding other ways to solve a problem now.”

Building on success

Bill Palmer, Sam-mamish’s instructional technology curriculum leader, said the school’s commitment has given half the student body the con�dence to apply to college and pursue their passions.

According to a recent study, more than half of the student population stated if they went to college, they’d be the �rst in their families to do so, just like Garcia and Ruiz.

Next year, the school’s transformation will take physical form when the new 320,000-square-foot building opens, giving students access to learn-ing spaces at every turn, Palmer said.

Built with PBL and STEM (science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathematics) curriculum in mind, the physical building will make it pos-sible for even more cross-

collaboration between subjects.

With the new build-ing, the school also will o�er new PBL classes, including robotics, CAD (computer-aided design) and some others still in the works, according to principal Tom Duenwald.

“We’re looking at all ways for the students to connect to the communi-ty and continue to work on real-world problems,” he said of the potential new classes and those already being o�ered.

Graduating senior Cory McCartam, 17, said he almost wishes he could attend another year to take some of the new classes and determine what he wants to do in the future.

“I came here because of PBL,” he said. “�e idea that you’re going beyond just repeating facts, but being able to apply that knowledge in a real-world scenario.”

For their classmate, 18-year-old Tina Liu, who moved to Bellevue from Taiwan right before her freshman year, said PBL was instrumental in helping her understand English.

“Because we worked in groups, I wasn’t afraid to speak English … it re-ally helped me out,” said Liu, whose application to attend Harvard next fall has been deferred. “I wouldn’t be where I am without this school.”

answering her last question with ease and earning her the Open Window School championship and her next step toward the National Geographic Bee.

Blachman, an eighth-grader at the school, will battle 100 other state students March 27 at Paci�c Lutheran Univer-sity for the right to represent Washington at the geography championships in Washington, D.C., in May.

Now in its 27th year, the National Geographic Bee com-petition has been the standard for geography greatness. Following Blachman’s win, she and her competitors had to pass a qualifying test, graded by the National Geographic Society. �e top-100 scoring students in each state, the District of Columbia, Department of Defense Dependents Schools and U.S. territories to compete in state bees.

Blachman, the third student at Open Window to com-pete in the bee, said she’s excited about the opportunity to represent her school, her community and her state, if she’s able to outlast the others later this month.

If Blachman wins, she’ll receive $100, the “National Geo-graphic Atlas of the World, 10th Edition,” a medal and trip to the nation’s capitol.

But �rst she’ll have to conquer questions such as: “Six-time Super Bowl champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, play football near the source of the Ohio River in which state — Alabama or Pennsylvania?” and “Balboa Park, with more than 10 museums, performing arts centers and gardens, is located in which southern California city?”

Blachman correctly guessed Pennsylvania and San Diego, respectively.


A new program through tech giant Mi-croso� is helping local nonpro�ts with mil-lions of dollars in �nancing thanks to the so�ware company’s generous employees.

In 2014, employees raised a record-breaking $117 million for nearly 20,000 nonpro�ts and schools across the globe, the company announced earlier this month.

�is year, the company and its workers are aiming to break that �gure in a variety

of ways, including its response to the wide-spread need for technical expertise among nonpro�ts.

“Everyday Microso� employees have the opportunity to help people do more and achieve more through technology,” wrote Kathleen Hogan, executive vice president of human resources, along with Brad Smith, general counsel and executive vice president of legal and corporate a�airs, in a recent blog post. “As we’ve come to appreci-ate, everyday people working in nonpro�t organizations wake up determined to solve

some of the world’s toughest problems. But there are so many challenges facing them, a big one being lack of IT expertise to help them extend their work and do more good in their communities.”

Tech Talent for Good is the latest e�ort from Microso� encouraging its employees to use their technical expertise to help state and worldwide nonpro�t organizations such as the Bellevue Arts Museum with technology training and knowledge to do more and achieve more, according to Lori Forte Harnick, the company’s general man-

ager for citizenship and public a�airs.During its initial rollout, which began

last month, the program will work with a varied portfolio of nonpro�t organizations in the state that represent — what she calls — “a broad range of causes from hunger to youth unemployment to health and human services.”

As an added bonus, every hour of time a Microso� employee gives to a nonpro�t through the program, the company will do-nate $25 an hour in cash to that nonpro�t, Harnick said.

One of Broadway’s most beloved productions from Cole Porter is set to hit the Bellevue High School stage for a four-show run start-ing at 7 p.m. �ursday, March 19.

“Anything Goes,” the story of high-seas antics

aboard an ocean liner set-ting sail from New York to London, follows Billy Crocker, a stowaway madly in love with Hope Har-court, an heiress engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh.

�e three-day production includes nightly perfor-mances March 19-21 and a 2 p.m. matinee Saturday, March 21 at the BHS Per-

forming Arts Center.Pre-sale tickets are avail-

able at the school for $7 or $10 at the door.

to tackle next.“Tony has been able to

maintain the customer pal-let while introducing them to new and exciting beers,” Hansen said; Beers like Me-

dina Malt Liquor, Belgian WitBier and Powell’s newest creation, a Session IPA, which is just about ready for sale.

“Next up is a Bohemian or Czech-style pilsner,” Powell said. “I’ve wanted to do one of these for a while.”

Because of the brewery’s

success, production is already ramping up to an estimated 10,000 barrels annually at its current location, while Hansen and Robertson scour the Eastside for a second locale.

The plan is two-parts, Robertson said, starting with increased production so that by next year they’ll have 10,000 barrels to sell and distribute.

“The second part is to identify, if not get permit-ting and start construc-

tion, on a second location that can handle more than 10,000 barrels,” Robertson said.

It’s unclear at this time if the second location will be in Bellevue, but Rob-ertson and Hansen said it will definitely be on the Eastside and that it may feature new beer styles and a different menu than its current location.

playing for bread and butter, but in far nicer venues and a lot more of each.

Playing with musical legends George Harrison, Yo-Yo Ma, Van Morrison and others, Hussain has more than earned his seat among them and his title of tabla master.

On March 20, Hussain will be joined by an all-star cast of Indian and Celtic musicians at the Moore Theatre as part of his latest tour, “Celtic Connections: The Pulse of the World,” a 22-day, 15-city run showcasing the connection between each of the musical cultures.

“It’s a jam band with a touch of the highlands when Indian ragas meets Scottish strathspeys,” Hussain said of the show.

He said the show reveals the close melodic and rhythmic connections shared by both traditions and engages audi-ences in ways they may never have experienced.

“In that 2-hour period the worries of the outside world are left where they are,” he said. “Maybe you smile, regener-ate, so you can go out and face the world again.”

It’s that love of not just music, but its genuine affect on people that drew Hussain to share his talent starting at age 7, he said.

But his exposure to music, the tabla and the right-hand piece he still plays today, started even earlier.

“I’ve been with this instrument since I was a babe, sleep-ing with it nightly,” he said. “I still play the acoustic drum because I spoke to it, it spoke to me and we fell in love so long ago.”

Hussain said playing the same right-hand drum throughout his career allows him to give a piece of himself to the audience musically that few musicians get to share.

“It’s like I’m sharing a part of me … something near and dear to me,” he said. “It’s the best toy you could find.”

For more information about the show or to purchase tickets, visit www.stgpresents.org.

ZAKIRCONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

“This season is a celebra-tion of authentic characters and their inspiring trans-formations,” he said. “A lowly flower girl becomes an elegant debutante; a young African woman boldly breaks the mold of tradition; a boy changes his community by daring to pursue a different kind

of dream. These stories are brimming with humanity.”

The extended run of “Mary Poppins” smashed the theater’s attendance record of more than 200,000 audience members and helped Village Theatre exceed 19,200 subscribers, making it the second-larg-est subscription theater in the Pacific Northwest.

STAFF WRITERSeattle Weekly is seeking a Sta� Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S.

The Sta� Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the � eld rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Sta� Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sni� out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial sta� meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Sta� Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Sta� Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t � nd anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to � nd a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to � nd the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Sta� Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial o� ce environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Sta� Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your � ve favorite stories to: [email protected]. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

Tucker is a 3-year-old male, black labrador retriever and shar-pei mix who is very nice, but can be “a little aloof ” until he gets to know someone better. King County Pet Adoption Center volunteer Dawn Gerken said Tucker is good on a leash, knows simple commands such as sit, and would do best in a home with children older than 15, as he’s not a fan of be-ing hugged or rough-housed with. He would also need to meet other dogs in someone’s home before being adopted, she said.

Veterinarians at the shelter think Tucker has a chronic ear infection that may need future treatment. For more information about Tucker and other adoptable animals visit www.petfinder.com or by calling the shelter at 206-296-7921.
