WWII a short tour in life for Bellevue veteran

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

King County election numbers as of Wednesday showed strong support for incumbent candidates in Washington’s 41st and 48th legislative districts. Statewide vot-ers have approved a measure for stronger background checks for

firearms purchases and another that would limit class sizes across the state was too close to call Wednesday.

House Position 1, 41st District

Incumbent Tana Senn, D-Mer-cer Island, maintained a strong lead against 21-year-old Bellevue

Republican Bill Stinson, with 62.69 percent of votes and 30,649 ballots counted Wednesday.

Senn was appointed to the posi-tion last year after the seat was vacated by Marcie Maxwell.

House Position 2, 41st District

Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer

Island, held a strong lead against Independent Alex O’Neil, who was a no-show during the cam-paign season, with 74.65 percent of votes.

Clibborn, a six-term represen-tative, plans to continue chairing the House Transportation Com-mittee if reelected, which appears likely.

Bob Jones was ready to serve his coun-try in 1939 and did so for six years, but the Bellevue veteran says that was just a brief tour in his 94 years of life, and not one that defines him now.

Jones and his childhood friend, Tommy, were working as seasonal park rangers near Bellevue, awaiting a decla-

ration of war. When the radio broadcast Nazis had invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, Jones and Tommy borrowed a car and drove to Fort Lewis, now Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

“As soon as we heard that Germany had invaded Poland, we said, ‘That’s it,

we’re enlisting,’ ” said Jones. “Tommy and I stayed together for the whole dog-gone war.”

Jones and Tommy were stationed at Fort Bragg for field artillery training, but


Bellevue’s interim police chief Jim Montgom-ery presented the City Council Monday with a 2015-16 budget proposal with cautious optimism proposed staffing increases will be enough to ensure public safety.

Montgomery acknowledged he too is aware of residents’ concerns about rising property crimes, but the most pressing issues facing the city require adding two detectives, one working in vice and the other on special assault cases, and a digital forensics specialist.

“They are the highest priorities,” he said.Prostitution continues to be a problem for

Bellevue, and includes cases of human trafficking and minors, Montgomery said, due in part to the economic vitality of the city.

The city is also seeing a rise in electronic fraud, but prosecutors require evidence that is time-consuming to gather, as is prosecuting

Somerset fourth-grade student Abby Robertson addresses the Bellevue School Board Tuesday, explaining her opposition to a recently rolled out procedure prohibiting snacks and foods being distrubted in classes. Later that evening the board asked staff to revoke it and explore other solutions to protect students suffering from life-threatening food allergies.

Snack restrictions revoked

Bellevue School District

Board members reversed procedure citing unintentional consequences; asks staff to find new solution by FebruaryBY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

Parents, teachers and staff can hand out snacks at school again after the Bellevue School District board voted Tuesday night to ask staff members to revoke a recent procedure, aimed at protecting children, es-pecially those with life-threatening allergies.

Last year at least 16 students suffered anaphylactic shock needing epinephrine. Four required ambulances.

According to the district’s head nurse, six of the incidents occurred while students were sharing food, a cookie or a snack, and five others having eaten some-thing given out during class unaware of all the ingredients.

While the board members agreed stu-dent safety is paramount, only 4 percent of the 20,000 plus students currently enrolled in the Bellevue School District have severe food allergies, and eliminating snacks had unintended consequences.

District staff members were asked to come up with an alternate solution by the end of January to address a growing trend of students suffering severe allergic reac-tions. Each school will still maintain the

ability to prohibit snacks from being served in classrooms, if staff chooses.

During the public meeting, more than a dozen residents, including teachers, parents and students, spoke in opposition of the procedure, which rolled out district-wide a week and a half ago in anticipation of Halloween.

Those opposed to the procedure were upset with how quickly it was put in place, without consideration of what it would affect.

Newport Heights Elementary School teacher Amelia Stern told the board it “broke her heart” when she had to tell a student who was hungry she couldn’t give him a snack because of the procedure.

Stern and others said while many stu-dents’ parents have the financial means to provide their children with health snacks that could be distributed by a school nurse if necessary, just as many don’t or have to settle for cheaper, unhealthy snacks.

But the restrictions on snacks didn’t just affect lower-income students, it eliminated the ability of parents to share cultural foods, celebratory snacks for a child’s birth-day, and teachers being able to reward their classes with treats.

It also prevented from certain curricu-lum involving food. One educator said if the procedure were to remain she couldn’t teach her STEM (science, technology, engi-neering, and mathematics) approved lesson about how to make Play-Doh using flour

The holiday season starts much earlier for volunteers at the Bellevue Botani-cal Garden, who have for the past two weeks been planting the walkable elec-tric floral exhibit and winter touchstone that is Garden D’Lights.

Carolyn Ward starts thinking about designs for Garden D’Lights in the sum-mer, and finds herself confronting fall weather to realize them. Ward has been volunteering to set up the light festival at the garden since 2002.

“I just like it,” she said. “I like work-ing with lights and I like working with color.”

Ward, like most of the 20 volunteers for Garden D’Lights, is a Bellevue retiree who is willing to commit the time to planting light arrangements shaped like flowers, trees and bushes in the botani-cal garden during the November rain.

“We know we’re going to get wet,” she

said during Monday’s work session. “We just know we’re going to get wet.”

When the rain gets heavy, volunteers retreat to the newly opened visitor center to help others checking bulbs or making more light pieces. There are more than 500,000 lights that go into Garden D’Lights, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

“We’re like Santa’s little helpers, just busy, busy,” said Candice McIvor, who is leading organizing efforts with Mike and Nan Welter. “It’s camaraderie. We all have a good time. We all like walking it.”

Tom Furin inquired about the lights in the ground while walking through the botanical garden in 2008 and has been volunteering ever since. He said he pre-fers the installation part of the project and looks forward to the show.

“We open after Thanksgiving, and if it’s not done and ready as it should be, it’s not as good a show then,” Furin said. “We want to give a good show.”

“I like the idea that this whole thing has been done by a bunch of amateurs and old folks,” said Anne Chin as she

OF NOTE

Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed Nov. 2-9 as Drowsy Driving Prevention Week in Washington State. While this proclamation is a signi� cant step

towards drowsy driving awareness and prevention, there is much more that needs to be done to keep this pandemic

o� of our roads and highways. We must change attitudes about drowsy driving � rst.

On Oct. 4, the Issaquah Police Department responded to a report of a vehicle that was being driven erratically in the Issaquah Highlands. An o� cer quickly found the car parked in the Safeway parking lot. � e driver was fast asleep. When he was woken up and interviewed, he told IPD he had been

working almost 72 hours straight before he got behind the wheel of his car to go home.

While in line at the bank recently, I heard a conversation between a customer and a bank teller. � e customer told of his recent extreme sports bike trip in the Cascades. He then casually said that he had been up for over 24 hours before he drove back over Snoqualmie Pass to his home in Bellevue. � e somewhat macho tone of the biker was as if driving while tired was also part of his extreme sport. And the teller was impressed.

A co-worker has a second job in addition to her “day job.” She mentioned that many times each week she only got around four hours of sleep each night. When she drove home from her “moonlighting” job at two or three in the morning, she was usually very tired. But she said “it was a

Urging better solutions than Energize EastsideEastside residents have con-

cerns about PSE’s Energize Eastside

project, which will run 18 miles of high-voltage power lines through � ve Eastside cities. � e 130-foot towers will be up to three times taller than the current transmission poles, creating panoramic visual blight throughout our beautiful region.

PSE is running an expensive pub-

lic relations campaign as they pursue an aggressive timeline for EE. A � nal route is to be selected in December, less than a month away.

Many Eastside residents are concerned PSE is overstating the need and urgency for EE and has eliminated every other en-ergy solution from public consideration. In response,

we created the Coalition of Eastside

Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy (CENSE.org) to educate elected of-� cials and the public.

CENSE’s research has found:Energy use in the PSE service

Sign up today for PSE’s free 20 LED light bulbs o� er for your home. You will reduce your energy bill (you can save up to $200 per year, not to men-tion the cost of the bulbs). You’ll also help reduce energy consumption from coal and help air quality.

Yes, 30 percent of your electricity comes from PSE’s coal plant in Mon-tana, which has already paid $25 million in � nes for polluting the environ-ment. If enough Eastside residents sign up, we can forestall the city-blighting program called Energize Eastside by reducing our energy demand. Here’s how:

1. Sign up at pse.com/homeprint or call PSE at 1-800-562-1482, Monday

straight line on the free-way,” and that she knew the way home — even when exhausted.

In 2006, our then 17-year old daughter, Mora, nearly died from multiple frac-tures and a traumatic brain injury caused by a driver who was awake for 24 hours and who had fallen asleep at the wheel of her car. Several months after the accident, Mora was still in recovery and rehabilita-tion. During that time, we talked with the nurses and caregivers about what caused Mora’s injuries. A few of the nurses said that they regularly work double shifts each week and drove home exhausted after being up nearly 24 hours. Even in front of our daughter, they freely said they did not want any increased drowsy driving laws or penalties because they said caregiv-ers were often the worst offenders.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that “cognitive impairment after being ap-proximately 18 hours awake is similar to that of some-one with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05%. After about 24 hours awake, impairment is equivalent to a BAC of 0.10%, higher

than the legal limit in all states.” Not only every driver in our state, but also our legislators and our judges need to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving, and how many people are injured and killed by this pandemic each year. Attitudes about drowsy driving need to change.

But like attitudes about drunk driving 30 years ago, like texting while driv-ing and distracted driving today, the only thing that will really change attitudes, mindsets and habits toward getting behind the wheel of a car when you have not slept for 20 or more hours is swift and sure penalties.

Before others are injured or killed by drowsy drivers, we urge our state legislators to put aside the bickering of partisan politics and to beef up Washington’s reck-less driving laws to include penalties if a driver injures or kills someone after deliberately getting behind the wheel of a car after being awake over 20 to 22 hours. Or to find the vision and the guts to pass a spe-

cific drowsy driving law in Washington state like New Jersey’s “Maggie’s Law.”

Yes, in some cases, an accident caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel may be harder to prove than drunk driv-ing. But drowsy driving kills, injures and shat-ters lives just the same as drunk driving. Just ask the survivors. Ask the family and friends of those lost or injured last month or last year from the actions of a drowsy driver. Just ask our daughter.

We want all drivers in Washington to be aware of their level of fatigue or alertness before they get behind the wheel of a car...this week, during the busy holiday season, and throughout the year. Save a life, and get some rest.

to new technologies and advances in energy efficiency. For example, in the past three years household electricity use fell, even as Americans bought nearly a billion more electronic devices.

PSE’s energy demand forecasts are almost twice as high as those of utilities serving other northwest cities with similar rates of population and economic growth as the Eastside. Demand forecasts for Seattle, Snohomish, Spokane and Portland are all less than those projected by PSE (See chart and documentation at cense.org/Future.pdf).

PSE dismissed energy solutions that other cities are using to manage their peak loads such as grid batteries, peak load generators and demand response programs. Most cost less than EE’s $200 million price tag, are less vulnerable to

wind storms, natural disasters or terror-ism, and are better for our environment, health and safety.

The Eastside is a high-tech, highly educated, environmentally progressive community surrounded by beauty. This is why it is rated as one of the most livable regions in the nation. Please join CENSE in urging your elected officials to address the concerns about EE before allowing PSE to scar our cities for generations to come. If you want your children and grandchildren to inherit the beautiful cit-ies we love, email your city council today. Say “no” to Energize Eastside and “yes” to energy solutions that are appropriate for the 21st century.

Mars Hill Church Bel-levue will reinvent itself as an independent church under new governance a� er the mega church an-nounced its dissolution on Friday (Oct. 31).

Mars Hill Church an-nounced its disbanding a little more than two weeks a� er the resignation of its lead pastor Mark Driscoll, who had been accused by current and former congre-gation members as abusing his power and attacking those who questioned him.

“I readily acknowledge I am an imperfect messenger of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” Driscoll wrote in his Oct. 14 resignation letter. “� ere are many things I have confessed and repented of, privately and publicly, as you are well aware. Speci� cally, I have confessed to past pride, anger and a domineering spirit.”

Pastor Matt Rogers

addressed the Bellevue con-gregation Monday through a post announcing “All ministry direction, produc-tion, sta� ng, and gover-nance will be done together as a local church.”

“For the next few weeks we will be seeking input

from leaders from around the church, working through transition details, and look forward to having a lot more to share with you at our � rst Vision Meeting Sunday November 16 at 12:30,” ac-cording to the post.

As part of its preparation for the 50th anniversary celebration in 2016, Bellevue College named Gayle Barge as its vice president of institutional advancement last week.

Barge, who’s spent more than a decade in higher education serving in marketing, communications and public affairs, will supervise all of the college’s fundraising, market-ing and communications outreach. She’s set to start her new position Nov. 17, after previously working as the director of university public relations at Ohio’s Central State University.

“I’m thrilled to join the Bellevue Col-lege family and be part of the exceptional faculty and staff who work at BC,” Barge said. “I’m looking forward to getting to know this incredible campus and its community.”

For years, Barge has worked as an expert on topics related to African

American women and balancing work and life situations. Next March, Barge is salted to present research findings at the Oxford Women’s Leadership Symposium in Oxford, England.

Bellevue College President David Rule said Barge’s experience, education, and

dedication to general equality, made her an ideal candidate. After earning her doctorate in education from Pepperdine University in organizational change, Barge worked in public affairs leadership positions in both the public and private sec-tors, which added to her appeal

as the right person for the job, he said.

As the college turns 50 in 2016, it’s important to continue to be looking for-ward at opportunities to better serve the students, staff and the surrounding area, Rule said.

“[Barge] brings a great resume of di-verse experience, a creative mind, and an optimistic perspective to Bellevue College leadership,” he said.

An incessantly ringing cellphone in a quiet cafe has annoyed the stranger at the nearby table long enough, but when they don’t realize is, a dead man has a lot of loose ends.

Bellevue College students are set to open “Dead Man’s Cell Phone,” written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl for a six night run opening Nov. 13 - 15, and Nov. 20 - 22, at the Stop Gap Studio Theatre.

The play, which analyzes how people memorial-ize the dead, follows the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own as-sumptions about mortality, redemption and the need to connect in a technological-ly-obsessed world.

The show’s produced by Bellevue College’s Depart-ment of Theatre Arts, and directed by Tammi Doyle.

Tickets range from $12 for general admission to $10 for students.

In honor of Veterans Day the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is offering free admission to places normally requiring a Discover Pass.

The “free days” are part of the legislation, which passed when the Discover Pass, a $30 annual or $10 one-day permit was

created.Typically these passes

are required on state-managed recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, the Wash-ington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources. The Discover Pass does not replace the Sno-Park permit.

Seth Simpson said everything was in place to open his recreational marijuana store in Bellevue, but the city’s decision that a competing retailer had received licensure first meant prohibiting his from existing so close to the other. Now the Greensun co-owner and partner David Ahl are suing the city to open its doors.

At issue is a separation rule proposed and imple-mented by City Council in its interim ordinance regulating recreational marijuana stores in Bellevue, preventing such businesses from opening within 1,000

feet of each other.The city decided Green Theory received its licensure

from the Washington State Liquor Control Board first, preventing Greensun from opening across the road downtown on Main Street.

The city issued the Greensun Group a letter on July 29 stating Green Theory received a letter from the WSLCB on July 3 that could be used as a temporary operating permit, making it first to be licensed.

But Greensun contends in its lawsuit filed Monday that both licenses were issued by the liquor control board at the same time, and Simpson said the city showed preferential treatment to Green Theory, despite

his business being closer to opening.“We were ready to open,” he said. “We had every-

thing in place. We were just waiting for (the city) to issue us the building permits and the business license.”

The city of Bellevue has confirmed it received a copy of the lawsuit by Greensun Group, LLC., and are reviewing it now. The city told the Reporter it did not have a statement Monday, but would provide one when and if it becomes available.

Greensun has been under lease at its 10600 Main St., location for the past two years, putting in about $500,000 into designing the space first to be a medical marijuana dispensary, but the city didn’t allow them to open due to it not conforming to zoning regulations in that part of Bellevue. Simpson said he just wants to be able to open his business, which will be similar to the one Greensun operates in Des Moines.

To do that, Simpson said the city needs to drop its rule barring two marijuana businesses from opening within 1,000 feet of each other, which he said never applied to liquor stores. He added the idea of using the buffer to prevent clustering stores together doesn’t make sense when Bellevue is only allowed four stores by the WSLCB.

“If you have two next to each other and there’s only four allowed in the city, it’s not like you’re going to have a cluster of marijuana businesses,” he said.

Green Theory opened in early October at 10697 Main St., and The Novel Tree opened Sunday at 1817 130th Ave. N.E.

The city of Bellevue agrees with the state audi-tor’s office’s findings that a lack of financial con-trols allowed its former recreations program coordinator to embezzle more than $117,000 in government funds and has laid out changes to policies and procedures to prevent a repeat offense in the future.

Heather Christoff received a 90-day jail sentence in September for making 81 payments to a phony T-shirt company with seven municipal credit cards belonging to her subordinates and supervisors that were actually going to her own PayPal account between 2012 and 2013.

The purchases made by the 10-year city employee should have raised warn-ing flags sooner, as the

parks department already had a normal T-shirt ven-dor, but the city’s finance department also accepted “inadequate supporting documentation in its au-dit of credit card trans-actions,” according to a fraud investigation report issued by the Washington State Auditor’s Office on Thursday.

The city also allowed immediate supervisors to issue municipal credit cards to their subor-dinates, who were not required to review their own transactions. The re-port states one of Christ-off ’s employees wasn’t aware they’d been issued a card until police began investigating Christoff, nor was the department manager aware seasonal employees were being is-sued procurement cards.

“The Parks & Com-munity Services depart-ment did not adequately monitor its budgets,”

according to the report. “Upon discovery of the misappropriation, a bud-get report was generated and there were significant increases in spending for 2011, 2012 and 2013.”

Christoff was charged with 19 counts of second-degree theft, accepting a plea agreement in April to drop 10 of the charges with a 17-month recom-mended sentence — her 90-day sentence was un-der a first-time offender waiver. Christoff also agreed to pay $117,410 in restitution to the city of Bellevue.

The city took actions in response to the internal fraud when it first came to light, contracting with a certified public account-ing firm for a citywide audit of its procure-ment card system, which resulted in several policy and procedure changes. The procurement card

program is under new administration, with a procurement services manager in charge of reviewing and approving all invoices.

Local firm Clark Nu-ber also was tapped to provide an audit of the program at least every three years. Changes also include strengthen-ing what defines a public purpose for purchases and additional vetting of third-party payment processors like PayPal to validate businesses receiv-ing public funds.

According to the auditor’s report, the city anticipates completing its evaluation of all munici-pal finance divisions by the end of the year “to address areas of concern identified by staff in the Internal Control Forum.”

Auditor’s Office: City lacked controls to prevent embezzlement by former program coordinatorand baking ingredients.

Two fourth grader students at Somerset Elementary also expressed their disdain for the procedure and its restriction on food being distributed in class.

“Mandating food-free celebrations makes the cel-ebration not even seem like a special time at school,” said Abby Robertson. “Taking away all food from cel-ebrations is overkill and undermines the educational opportunities and community building that occurs when food is shared. The world is not allergy-free.”

Her classmate Hannah Ketchum, whose allergic to gluten and dairy, said she learned to ask the right questions when food was involved and thinks other students can and are doing the same.

“Sharing food is a way to learn about each other, which is one of the reasons we go to school,” she said. “Kids with allergies should know, by the age of six or seven, what they’re allergic to, and be sure to avoid it.”

One of the parent’s who supported the procedure, Rod Beddow, told the Reporter he didn’t want to deprive anyone of eating whatever they wanted, but didn’t see why it had to be done in the classroom.

Beddow’s son, a sixth grader, has a life-threatening allergy to peanuts.

“Most kids with allergies know they’re walking into a minefield when they go into the lunchroom, but when it extends to the classroom it’s exhausting for them to keep track of if all.”

John Harrison, executive director of schools, told the Reporter he anticipated the updated procedure would cause some reaction, but was pleasantly surprised by the community’s engagement.

“We’ll go back to the drawing board with the feedback we’ve received and get the community more involved,” he said following the meeting. “When we have a good draft we’ll present it to the board and the community. At the end of the day we’ll have a better procedure on how to deal with these situations and that’s a good thing.”

It’s another fast-food first for Bellevue and Wash-ington with the opening of Wayback Burgers in the Evergreen Village.

Ironically located in a 2,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by a health store at the shopping center on 140th Avenue Northeast, business is go-ing well for Wayback Burgers since its Oct. 30 soft opening, said franchisee Ben Lee.

Wayback Burgers started in Delaware as Jake’s Hamburgers in 1991, going national in 2009. With 86 stores nationally, Lee’s Wayback Burgers is the first to open in Washington. The certified public accountant said he decided to open the restaurant as a side business, but is now considering more franchise locations.

The franchise boasts about its fresh-made hamburgers and hand-dipped milkshakes, but customers here, as they have across Wayback’s 86 restaurants nationally, will likely be attracted by the

Triple Triple Burger, a behemoth of nine hamburger patties and slices of American cheese.

“It was basically a novelty piece that we put up there,” said Mark Biccum, corporate trainer for the Bellevue restaurant, but it has since become a fairly popular order by hearty eaters and those looking to share.

“There are some people who try to do it just by themselves,” Lee said.

Wayback Burgers is located at 1645 140th Ave. N.E.

Bellevue-based Outerwall reported a 78.4-percent drop in year-over-year net income for the third quarter of 2014 on Oct. 30, but CEO J. Scott Di Valerio says the company’s numbers are a reflection of its growing kiosk market.

Valerio said the large shift in year-over-year income came from Outerwall purchasing remain-ing interest in ecoATM, one of the company’s newest business ventures. Because the company owned interest in ecoATM, its purchase meant a reported gain for Outerwall in the third quarter of 2013.

“That premium became a gain of $68.4 million in the third quar-ter of last year,” he said.

Outerwall was still able to re-port $553 million in consolidated revenue and $17.9 million in prof-its from continuing operations, bumping the value of its share up to $60 each in after-hours trading.

Investors also were pleased by Outerwall’s $70 million buyback

of common stock in its third quarter, which Valerio said the company believes is the best use of its free cash flow. Outerwall will look at whether it will buy back more stock later this year, said Valerio, adding he’s been questioned often about when a dividend will be put in place.

The more than 530 ecoATM kiosks installed during this year’s third quarter through retail partnerships led to large revenue gains for Outerwall’s new ventures segment, up $14.5 million from last year’s third quarter report of $15.2 million.

Movie and gaming rental kiosk Redbox continued to struggle from the second quarter into the third this year, down $53.6 mil-lion in consolidated revenue from last year.

Valerio said the decrease in revenue was not due to a failed Redbox Instant venture with Veri-zon to provide streaming service, for which its demise will mean a $16.8 million payout by Verizon to Outerwall to be reflected in its fourth quarter.

Brandon Ivie had no idea so much of his life would be devoted to Christmas, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Eastside native and Newport High School alum, has spent the last five years working on various iterations of the Broad-way smash hit musical “A Christmas Story,” the story of young boy bound and determined to get a Red Rider carbine action BB gun as his present.

After serving as the shows casting director dur-ing its first production at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre in 2009, Ivie was hired as the assistant director when it began its Broadway tour.

Now he’s returned home to direct his own version of the show, which opens this month back where it all

started at the 5th Avenue, and he couldn’t be more thrilled, he said.

“This is the perfect show for our Seattle talent pool,” Ivie said. “Broadway direc-tors are always blown away by the talent of our kids, and our adult actors work perfectly as ensemble casts. This show has a lot of kooky characters that pop in and out of the show.”

Based on the life of radio legend Jean Shepherd, who wrote and narrated the 1983 film of the same name, and the book, “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash,” the inspiration for both, follows Ralphie, a child in the 1940s who is trying to convince anyone and every-one the BB gun is the only

gift for him this year.Played by Mark Jeffrey

James Weber, in his return to The 5th Avenue follow-ing his performance of Oliver Twist in “Oliver!” Weber had exactly what Ivie said he was looking for.

“The kids in this show are real, wide-eyed, honest kids,” he said. “They’re not glossy, they’re just really talented … there were so many good kids, it was hard to whittle them down.”

And while the show’s primary focus is Ralphie’s quest, Ivie said there’s a deeper, more meaning-ful story at the core of the movie and the musical.

“What I think is really lovely about the show is that it’s about family, and

slowing down to appreci-ate the time we have with them,” Ivie said. “This show is really about a child trying to connect with his old man. In that way, this show is universal. Everyone can find something in this show to relate to their own holi-day traditions. The themes are just as universal now as they were back then … they carry through generations.”

In order to convey the importance of the family dynamic in the show, Ivie said it was paramount he find the right man and woman to play Ralphie’s mom and old man. He didn’t have to look far, or for long, he said, turning

to real life husband-and-wife duo Dane Stokinger and Jessica Skerritt.

“Finding the family group that was going to be most dynamic, Jessica and Dane already had that built in connection as a married couple … They’re honest, sincere, as opposed to slick and pol-ished,” he said. “They’re real, heart of America people who also happen to be great singers and dancers.”

But Ivie isn’t the only Newport-grown talent performing in the show.

Sarah Rose Davis, who attended the school at the same time as Ivie, was cast in the ensemble, playing various roles including one of Ralphie’s friend’s mother, and an angry min-ion elf during the scene at the mall when Ralphie goes to visit Santa.

Rose Davis said Ivie, like the show, has devel-oped and matured. In his late teens and early twenties hosting various musical gigs, she said Ivie was more nervous, often bantering more than he needed. Now, he, his bantering, and the show are polished, streamlined, she said.

Instead of overdirect-

ing, trying to control every moment, Ivie takes a relaxed approached, allowing the actors to develop the scene them-selves, Rose Davis said.

“He lets the moment evolve,” she said. “He al-ways makes it comfortable, and provides a good refer-ence or image when he’s trying to describe what he’s going for. He helps us find the strength that’s already in us and stretches us to find new things we didn’t know we had.”

“A Christmas Story” opens Nov. 25, and runs through Dec. 30. Tickets start at $29. For more information visit www.5thavenue.org.

As Bellevue’s parks department continues its work finalizing the redesign of Meyden-bauer Bay, connecting it to the downtown park, the city’s arts commission is exploring what type of art would best compliment the expanded public space.

Robin Cole, senior planner with the parks department, met with the commission late last month to discuss the city’s plan, it’s vision for the park, and the four themes; en-vironment, history, connections and water.

Slated to begin construction in the fall of 2016, Cole said it was important to start examining potential major and minor art pieces to anchor pathways and walking trails throughout the park.

“Ideally there’d be variety in the park, the kind of mix that makes you want to come back again and find something else you might not have seen, something that’s entertaining and exciting,” Cole said.

The council agreed that starting the discovery process of looking for artists and works to compliment the redeveloped park should start sooner rather than later, but

the discussion of how much to spend was tabled for another meeting.

“It’s too early to tie ourselves to a num-ber,” said Bellevue’s arts specialist Mary Park. “But we can start to figure out what amount of money could be spent, identify key opportunities, and find artists with strong backgrounds and invite them to send letters of interest to be reviewed by the arts commission.”

Because the overhauled park is being designed to connect to other parks in the area, council chairwoman Trudi Jackson said whatever pieces are chosen need to be

viewed as “key connection points from City Hall all the way down to Meydenbauer.”

“You want it to be a destination for the art, but it’ll need to reflect the park as well,” she said.

Park told the council if it chose to make a commitment to spend several hundred thousands dollars, it would be “well within the budget” and would still be able to fund other projects throughout the city.

Artists interested in speaking with the council about upcoming projects are invited to meet with them at City Hall on Nov. 12, at 4:30 p.m.

GET READY FOR WINTERSomething is wrong with your furnace

Perhaps it’s running louder than usual, making an odd noise or cycling on and off repeatedly – if it’s working at all.

Maybe your whole house is too cold, or some rooms are significantly warmer than others.

Our tips will help you determine whether you should replace your furnace or simply repair it and whether your furnace is actually the reason your home is so cold. Before you pick up your phone to call any company, check your furnace filters first! The majority of our service calls could be solved with changing your furnace filter. If you don’t know where it is, please call and we will tell you.

When you should repair insteadWhether you should repair or replace a dysfunctional

furnace depends on which part is causing the problem, how much the repair would cost and how old your furnace is.

Problems with the following parts can almost always be fixed.

• Hot surface ignitor• High/low limit switch• Anything involving a thermostat• Gas valve• Flame sensor• Thermocouple• FiltersIf a part is no longer available because your furnace is too

old, repair may be impossible.

Signs your furnace is deadMany experts say you should consider replacing your

furnace after 15 years, since it might be reaching the end of its life.

We disagree. Some furnaces will last 25 or 30 years – or even longer – so replacing a 15-year-old furnace just be-cause is premature.

An experienced technician might be able to give you an idea of how much life your old furnace has left based on its service history and an analysis of how the components are functioning, but there’s no definitive way to tell.

Problems with the following parts usually means it’s time to replace your furnace:

• Heat exchanger (cracked)• Blower motor• Inducer motor• Control board (sometimes repairable, depending on

furnace brand)If the parts are still under warranty (a typical one runs 10

years) and these items are covered, do the repairs. But these parts often become faulty when the furnace is older. The repairs can be so expensive that replacement makes more sense, especially since one large repair can be the begin-ning of many repairs. This is also a really good time to get a second opinion, most heating companies would be happy to sell you a new furnace than repair a 15 year old furnace.

When your furnace isn’t to blameIf your home is too cold, the furnace isn’t necessarily the

culprit. The following fixes are easier and less expensive than furnace repair or replacement. (As a bonus, many of these will also make your air conditioner more effective.)

Is your furnace getting power? Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.

Leaky ducts (the metal tubes that distribute heat throughout your home) can be sealed so that more hot air actually gets blown into rooms instead of seeping into the attic. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy says sealing leaky ducts can improve efficiency by 15% to 20%; it will set you back a few hundred dollars, but that’s much cheaper than a new furnace.

Better insulation in your attic and walls will help your home retain heat.

New weather stripping around doors and windows will keep cold out and heat in.

Upgrading a manual thermostat to an electronic one can regulate your home’s heat more effectively and lower your energy bills.

Replacing a furnace’s dirty air filter can improve airflow.A furnace can generate a certain amount of heat per

hour. This number is expressed in British thermal units (BTUs). The higher the number, the larger the home the furnace can heat.

Choose the right contractorMost people will find the cheapest furnace and not care

who the contractor is. You wouldn’t buy a car like this, and your furnace will be with you longer than your car. When your mother told you “You get what you pay for” she wasn’t kidding.

Look for contractors who are NATE-certified; the North American Technician Excellence designation means they have passed tests demonstrating real-world HVAC knowl-edge.

Make sure the contractor is licensed, insured and bonded, and has been in business for many years. You want someone who will be there to service and repair your furnace and honor the labor warranty, which should be for at least one year.

A good contractor will perform a heat load analysis at your home based on square footage, ventilation, windows and insulation before giving you an estimate or recom-mending a furnace.

The labor estimate should include installation; any adjustments to ducting, venting, fuel delivery or electrical systems; and disposal.

The contractor should provide details about recommend-ed furnace brand, size, efficiency and parts warranty, as well as operating costs.

Proper maintenance saves moneyIf you don’t maintain your furnace, expect unneces-

sarily high heating bills from inefficiency and repair bills for preventable equipment failure. You’ll also shorten the furnace’s life.

Most people don’t have the expertise to perform the nec-essary maintenance functions themselves, but many HVAC contractors offer maintenance plans.

A furnace tune up includes a thorough clean of the system, checking the electrical components and evaluating burners and heat exchangers. This should be done by a li-censed service technician who should explain what is being done and offer recommendations for preventative repairs if they find anything operating outside of specifications.”

A thorough inspection will take 45 minutes to an hour. A maintenance plan that includes two visits per year, ideally one in the spring and one in the fall.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

If the Bellevue Wolverines do indeed end up winning their fourth consecutive state water polo cham-pionship this November, they will undoubtedly look back to the 12-9 victory against the Curtis Vikings on Oct. 28 as the turning point of the 2014 season. The Wolverines were the victors, but were fuming as they exited pool. They knew their performance wasn’t up to their rigid standards of excellence.

“We weren’t focused at all and that’s a fact. Anybody on the team would agree with me in saying we weren’t disciplined and we were not ready to play before the game,” Wolverines team captain Liam Naughton said. “Afterwards we had a very long talk as a team. We sat together and said, ‘We are going to win another state title’. We knew what we had to do.”

The Wolverines responded to the challenge with a convincing 19-10 win against the Roosevelt Vikings on Oct. 29 in Seattle. Marco Stanchi and Zack Rossman scored a team-high five goals apiece. Cameron Hayes scored three goals as well. Naughton added two goals and Daniel Sandler, Noah Lauter, Sam Geffe and Garrett Wil-liams each scored a goal.

“The game we played (against Roosevelt) really proved we can do it

and hopefully we will do it,” Naughton said of a possible four-peat.

The victory against Roosevelt throughly impressed Bellevue head coach Ed Brovick.

“They got their focus back and really pulled it together. The goals we score were spread out amongst quite a few players. It was such a great team effort. It was great to see that,” Brovick said.

The Wolverines (16-5 overall) cap-tured the KingCo 4A regular season championship for the third year in a row. Bellevue will be the No. 1 seed in the regional playoffs, which begin on Nov. 7. Eight teams will play in the regional tournament and teams placing in the top four slots will advance to the state tourney. Bellevue

spent the past week focusing on the smallest of details that could make all the difference in the postseason. Bel-levue assistant coach Evan Kaseguma believes the team is ascending at the perfect time. The Wolverines are loaded with talent both offensively and defensively.

“Quinlan Hughes (goalie) has con-tinued to step up the last few weeks. It’s been a great boost for our defense. We have been working on our press defense too at practice and its really coming into form. We’re putting a lot of pressure on other teams,” Kasegu-ma said. “We’re a very unselfish team and that opens up a lot of opportuni-ties on offense. We are really starting to click.”

Every offensive lineman dreams of play-ing for a program that focuses intently on running the ball.

The Newport Knights, who keep the ball on the ground on about 80 percent of its offensive plays, rely on its interior lineman in order to have success. The Knights have compiled a 7-2 overall record and have clinched a berth in the playoffs.

Newport senior offensive left guard Nolan Richardson has played a huge role in his team’s ability to move the chains on a consistent basis. The tandem of Richard-son and University of Oregon-bound left tackle Calvin Throckmorton result in huge running lanes for Knights’ ball-carriers between the tackles.

“Knowing that we’re going to run the ball is a lot of fun. We’re definitely looking forward to the playoffs and seeing where we can take it. I got all the confidence in

the world in this team right now,” Richard-son said. “We’ll give anybody we play a run for their money.”

In the eighth game of the regular season, running back Paul Wells had four touch-downs (three rushing, one receiving) turn-ing a tie game at halftime into a blowout victory.

“He’s a great player,” Richardson said of Wells. “A lot of times on film we will see that he is making two or three guys miss in the open field. He has got a lot of talent. It gives us even more confidence on the offensive line because we know that we don’t have to make that giant hole and if we just make a small little hole, that we know he is going to get through. He’s a very hard worker. We love blocking for guys like that.”

Richardson said he and Throckmorton have known each other since kindergarten. The long-term friendship pays off on the football field. The duo are totally in sync, which has paid dividends for the Knights in pressure situations.

“Calvin and I were part of this program in elementary school where we learned Spanish all the way through school. Every now and then we will speak Spanish to each other on the field. I played basketball with him growing up, too. He’s a great basketball player,” Richardson said of Throckmorton. “We’re best friends. I’m excited to see what he is going to do at Oregon and he’s excited about what I am going to do in life.”

Recently, the Bellevue Re-porter had an opportunity to ask Richardson a few questions about his life away from the football field.

Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Nolan Richardson: My favorite movie is probably “Gladiator.” It is a very intense movie and I really enjoy that. Also, it shows very good qualities of what a man should be and coming back from a big downfall in life.

BR: What is your favorite TV show?

NR: I really enjoy “Modern Family”. It’s a fun comedy that you can watch with the whole family.

BR: Who was your idol growing up?NR: My dad. I’ve always looked up to

him because he’s very smart and wise. I’m very proud of how he has brought me up in life.

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?

NR: People chewing with their mouths open. I find it a little bit rude.

BR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2015?

NR: I love the Seattle Seahawks. I also have always been a Baltimore Ravens fan, too so one of those two teams for sure.

BR: What is your favorite restaurant in Bellevue?

NR: There’s a small place near Bellevue Square Mall called Casa D’s. I have been going to that burrito shop for a while now and I really enjoy it.


Sammamish Totems senior golfer Matt Marrese is looking forward to defend-ing a coveted championship on the links this May.

Marrese, who won the Class 4A state title in 2013, captured first place at dis-tricts on Oct. 25. The high school golf season is unique in the fact the regular season, league and district tournaments are played during the fall, but the state competition takes place the following spring.

“It’s a good feeling. I put in a lot of hard work to get there. It’s nice to know that I can go back this spring and try to win the state title two years in a row,” Marrese said.

With the state tournament taking place in six months, the 17-year-old Marrese already has one of his most important life decisions out of the way. He will continue his golf career for the Uni-versity of Washington men’s golf team.

“The UW head coach Matt Thurmond is a great guy. I’m really excited to learn from a guy like him.

He has a great knowledge of the sport,” Marrese said.

Marrese is relatively new to the world of chipping, putting, driving ranges and clubhouses. Growing up he thoroughly enjoyed playing baseball, but that changed when he took a trip to the driving range with his father, Tony, in 2010.

“When my dad asked me to go with him to the driving range, I knew nothing of the game and never played before,” he said. “After that I just kind of fell in love with golf. It was

a lot of fun playing baseball but I don’t miss it. I think having that baseball back-ground helped me a lot with golf. There are some differ-

ences but there are some similarities between the two sports.”

It didn’t take long for Marrese to eclipse his father’s skills on the links once he got the hang of the sport

in 2010. “It only took a

couple of months for me to beat him,” Marrese said with a smile.

The myriad challenges associated with golf is

something Marrese feeds off of. Most players fear seeing their ball land in the sand, but not Marrese.

“I really like the bunkers. I like the bunkers more than being in the rough. I think it’s easier to get it out and get closer to the hole,” he said. “I

drive the ball really well and I have a pretty good short game. That helps me a lot.”

Marrese, who has a goal of one day playing on the PGA Tour, said he wouldn’t be where he is today without the unwavering support of his family.

VOLLEYBALLIslanders conquer Wolverines in KingCo championship game between rivals

The Mercer Island Islanders defeated the Bellevue Wol-verines 3-1 in the KingCo 3A championship game on Nov. 1. The Wolverines will be the No. 2 seed from the Class 3A KingCo at the Sea-King 3A district tournament. The Wol-verines faced Garfield in the tournament opener on Nov. 6. As of press time, results of this contest were unavailable.

NOLANRICHARDSON

It’s my junior year of high school. Officially, the college search be-

gins now. And coinciden-tally, in the past month or so, a staggering number of my classmates have picked up activities they never showed the slightest inter-est in before.

Recently, one of my

friends even told me she hated the varsity sport she was playing five days a week. Mystified, I asked her why she was doing it. What was the point if she wasn’t having fun?

“College,” she said resolutely. “I need to look involved.”

I wanted to laugh and cry

at the same time. Because as strange as the statement may have sounded, to a high school student who wants to get into a good college, it’s not far from the truth. Being well-rounded isn’t just a nice idea any-more — it’s a necessity.

But it hasn’t always been like this. We used to do things because we enjoyed them, not because we thought they would look good to a nameless admis-sions officer some day. My friend playing a sport she hated made me wonder — how did this happen? When did high school kids become shameless resumé-builders? What change in mindset has made us think

this was the only way to succeed?

I thought back to last year — my sophomore year — when my entire grade took the preliminary SAT’s (PSAT’s). Teens who had previ-ously considered themselves intel-ligent were dev-astated to score below average. Choruses of “but I thought I was smart” echoed through the halls. “I only got a 150,” one of my classmates told me. “I’m stupid.” In the space of a three-hour test, our self-worth had been reduced to a number.

But even with college looming on the horizon, even with scatterplots

telling us our test scores won’t get us into the schools of our dreams, I’ve realized that no score could ever define me or my classmates.

We’re kids, students, friends, siblings. We love

concerts and snow days and dream of happy end-ings, or maybe just getting enough sleep at some point in our lives. We’re teenag-ers. People. Try summing that up with a number.

I am the father of 6-year-old twins. My wife, Col-leen, and I want to

raise a son who respects women, and a daughter who lives in a world where she is respected and free from violence.

In September 2014, NFL football star Ray Rice’s assault on his then-fiancée, captured on video, received significant media attention and brought to national awareness the

unfortunate prevalence of domes-tic violence in our society.

The statistics are sober-ing. An estimated one-in-four women experience rape, physical assault or stalking in the context of a relationship or a date.

The Washington State Coalition Against Domes-tic Violence reports that 35 people were killed in Washington state last year

as a result of domestic violence. Overwhelmingly, these tragedies

are the result of men’s violence against women. They include the woman strangled and beaten by her boyfriend and the mother murdered by her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. These are our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.

When violence against women makes the headlines, people often ask: “Why does she stay?” But this question wrongly places the burden on the victim. It is time to stop asking “why does she stay?” and instead ask “why is he violent?”

October was Domestic Vio-lence Awareness Month.

I am committed to leading an office that works to elimi-nate violence against women. Our work with stakeholders has helped pass legislation to punish offenders and empower survivors. We dedicate grant dollars to lo-cal advocacy organizations that provide services to survivors in rural communities. Our work will continue.

We can all do our part. Speak up when someone tells inappro-

priate jokes or stories. If you learn your female friends or family members are experiencing vio-lence, let them know you are there to help. Teach your children to respect themselves and others. Do not tolerate domestic violence.

Together we can make a differ-ence for the women in our lives. When women live without fear, our whole society benefits.

Bob Ferguson is attorney general for the state of Washington.

Eastside Baby Corner will hold its Engage Your Inner Hero luncheon at noon, Friday, Nov. 14, at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.

Keynote speaker will be Benjamin de Haan, Ph.D., executive director at Partners for Our Chil-dren, an organization that works to improve the lives of vulnerable children and families in Washington state, espe-cially those touched by the child welfare system.

defendants to those crimes, he said.

Montgomery said state statutes require a rapid response to reported domestic violence and crimes against children, but former police chief Linda Pillo was unable to keep up those complaints. Assign-ing a detective to those cases would decrease the large caseload.

As for property crimes, Montgomery said he’s reassigned officers from the special enforcement team to high-crime areas around

the city, with a strong focus on curbing burglaries and auto thefts.

The Bellevue Police De-partment has added 23 new police officers this year, but Montgomery said, “Hiring them is one thing; Getting them trained and on the street and functioning is something else.”

Montgomery was refer-ring to a backlog at the state’s only police training academy in Burien. Three officers will join the acad-

emy this week, he said, and another three next week.

The interim police chief expressed frustration with the Seattle Police Depart-ment and King County Sheriff ’s Office, which he said were granted spots at the academy over the past three months, but failed to keep their commitments when Bellevue officers were left waiting.

Turner, a software engineer in Red-mond, said he is focused on job creation and wage increases, however, he does not support having a minimum wage. He favors reducing regulations and taxes, especially those he says negatively impact people’s ability to run their busi-nesses within the state. He also favors cutting out tax breaks for major compa-nies like Boeing.

quickly signed up for the U.S. Airborne. Following the Japanese bombing at Pearl Harbor, Jones was put on a plane destined for England.

“�at night there were 35 of us who �ew over to England,” said Jones, add-ing two days later Germany declared war on the United States. “But we were already over there, ready to �ght Germans. … Why we were attached to the British, I’ve never known, but I credit the British for turning me into a soldier,” Jones said.

Jones and Tommy were deployed �rst to North Africa to secure an air�eld in Algiers, where Jones took a knife to his ribs, and then to Sicily. Two days a�er the Allied Forces invaded Salerno, Jones le� Sic-ily and joined up with the 504th Parachute Infantry

Regiment, where the British would once a week send him and his fellow troops on missions to rest camps for German o�cers, para-chuting in and taking them out. �e British believed taking out high-ranking German o�cers would cause their troops to falter, Jones said.

“Basically, we were as-sassins, is what we were,” he said.

In May 1944, Jones was one of 50 from the 504th to volunteer to parachute into Normandy, about 40 miles inland from where Allied forces were �ghting Germans on the coast, and take out a bridge critical to the Nazis. �e 504th never managed to meet up with the 505th PIR, but Jones said back then airplane pilots would become confused about where their targets were.

“It worked to our advan-tage, because the Germans thought they were overrun

by Airborne,” he said. A�er �ghting through

France and being beaten back in Holland, Jones was sent to Belgium with the 34 surviving parachuters out of the 850 used during the air invasion into Hol-land. Following the Battle of the Bulge, Jones was sent to Germany, where he received his third injury of the war when he was struck in the right knee by shrapnel from a tripped land mine.

Following the Japanese’s surrender in 1945, Jones was granted his discharge and didn’t look back.

“I’d had it,” he said. “I’d killed too many people.”

Jones �ew to Michigan, where the woman who would become his wife had been waiting for him. Bob and Helen Jones were married at her home north of Detroit, and moved to

Seattle and later back to Bellevue, where they spent 47 years together, raising three children. Helen died in 1992.

While Jones had been glad to be done with his service, Tommy, his childhood friend, re-enlisted in the Air Force and would later be killed during the Korean War. Jones said �ghting in World War II, he learned to not get to attached to his fellow soldiers, but Tommy had been his friend long before then, and the only member of the 82nd Airborne he kept in contact with a�er WWII.

Now, Jones lives a quiet life in his Bellevue home. He doesn’t go to events celebrating veterans celebrations or military funeral services. Once an avid climber, Jones said when he dies he wants to be cremated, his ashes scattered on Mount Rainier. His three Purple Hearts, he said, will not be joining him.
