BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

�e subcontractor and general contractor for Bel-levue College’s new Health and Sciences Building have been cited and �ned for safety violations following the July death of a con-struction worker who fell from the structure’s roof.

A 31-year-old Evergreen

Erectors employee was working on the roof of the health sciences building on the morning of July 21 when police reported he was unable to move from a ladder to the �oor, the building not framed in at the time. �e man fell about 50 feet to the ground below, where he was pronounced dead by paramedics.

�e Washington Depart-ment of Labor and Indus-tries cited Evergreen Erec-tors and �ned the company

for $850 for not properly laying down �oor covers to prevent employees from potential falls. Evergreen Erectors �led an appeal to the decision on Jan. 19.

General contractor Bayley Construction also was cited for not properly laying down �oor covers, as well as not ensuring stairway handrails were surfaced to prevent injuries from punctures, cuts or snagging clothes. L&I states in its citation Bayley used rebar tie-wire in at

least one roof-access loca-tion to secure handrails, “with the twisted end protruding into the walk area.” �e top nail heads stuck out about a quarter-inch and the twisted rebar stuck out about a half-inch, according to the citation. Bayley Con-struction has been �ned $3,300, and �led its appeal with L&I on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

Communications project manager David Mendel said the King County Council is still reviewing the levy lid li� measure for the estimated $225-million re-placement project and must make a decision by March 3 to place it on the April 28 special election ballot.

If the measure makes it to the ballot and is approved, the estimated cost to county residents is estimated at

between 6.5 to 7 cents per $1,000 of assessed prop-erty or about $32 to $35 a year on a house assessed at $500,000. �e levy would be for nine years.

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Overlake Medical Center’s Bellevue Urgent Care Center downtown has been open nearly three weeks now, and the nonprofit is already eye-ing expanding its space and service hours.

Overlake opened urgent care clinics in Redmond and Issaquah two and 10 years ago, respectively, and the downtown Bellevue clinic opened Jan. 19 to address an increase in population there, said Dr. Eric Shipley, medi-cal director of Overlake’s urgent care centers.

“That was the thrust and it’s been well-received,” Shipley said. “It’s been busier

than anticipated and I think it will grow rapidly.”

The clinic occupies 6,000 square feet of an existing Overlake building built sev-eral years ago for primary care services at 400 108th Ave. N.E., and includes 12 patient rooms, one proce-dure room and an in-house laboratory for basic blood, urine and respiratory tests. Four primary care provid-ers continue to operate out of the building Monday-Friday.

Shipley said Overlake hired specific physicians, nurses and X-ray technolo-gists to staff its Bellevue care center, which will be able to provide health maintenance, screenings, immunizations,

routine women’s care and chronic disease manage-ment. Physicians are also experienced in managing acute and chronic condi-tions like broken bones, car-diovascular disease, diabetes and anemia, according to an Overlake news release.

Overlake Urgent Care physician Teresa Pliskowski said a majority of patients are coming in with illnesses like colds and flus, but there have also been a good amount of injury cases. She said the clinic fluctu-ates from very busy to few patients, with peak times also varying.

“It really is feast or fam-ine,” Pliskowski said. “I’ve gotten really good feedback from patients,” even when they have to wait, she added.

Shipley said the clinic’s hours of noon to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday will likely need to expand in the next two months to meet the already healthy demand for urgent care. Other Overlake urgent care centers are open 7-11 a.m. Monday through Friday. He added Sunday service hours are also being considered.

Overlake has the ability to add on to the urgent care center building, and Shipley said its footprint may be expanded in the next six months.

“There’s some area that we can expand to, and I fully expect that will be happen-ing based on the reception we’ve received,” he said.

The urgent care center can be reached at 425-635-6550 and the primary care clinic can be reached at 425-635-6350.

Question of the week: “Would you pay $10 to use anexpress lane on I-405 during rush hour?”

The Eastside is quite simply the best place in America to live, raise a family and pursue a

career.My hope is that the factors that have

made possible our unparalleled quality of life will grow even stronger in years to come. Among the most important factors are strong public education, a

thriving technol-ogy sector and a vibrant community life characterized by outstanding volun-teer leadership.

I moved to Bellevue with my parents in 1977, as a high school sophomore. Our high-tech sector

was nascent — Microso� ’s move to the Eastside was still years away — and we were still largely a bedroom community for Boeing engineers and workers in downtown Seattle.

� e Eastside was a vibrant com-munity in those days, as it is today. However, as I observed in an article in Bellevue’s Journal-American news-paper around 1990, the same 100 or

so people seemed to run everything. � ey were and are great people, there just weren’t enough of them.

Moreover, few community leaders at that time were people of color or immigrants, and very few were under 40.

As a young lawyer working in downtown Bellevue, I regularly was asked by community leaders where they could � nd other younger people to recruit into civic leadership roles, and by many young profession-als about how they could become involved. A group of us came together to create a networking organization we called Forum Eastside, and that led us to design and launch Advance Bellevue, a leadership program intended to jumpstart the civic engagement of younger people in our community.

Not long a� er that, a similarly-minded group to our north created Leadership Institute. Over time, it became obvious that a combined orga-nization made the most sense and the rest, as they say, is Leadership Eastside history.

Many graduates of Advance Bellevue, Leadership Institute and

Leadership Eastside have fostered a spirit of community involvement, and worked hard to recruit and encourage younger and more diverse individuals who re� ect the Eastside’s vibrancy and its future.

Education, the economy and community: all three are vital to our quality of life, and all three depend on the spirit of volunteerism, and of volunteer leadership, which Leader-ship Eastside embodies and supports. Congratulations on its 10th anniver-sary, and best wishes for many more years of making a di� erence in our communities.

Rob McKenna is a former Attorney General of the state of Washington. He lives in Bellevue.

My hope for the future of the Eastside

If you use the 520 bridge, you know you have to pay a toll. If you don’t, you expect the state Department of Transportation to send you a bill for it.

� at sounds so reasonable — and fair. But it’s not. In fact, the state is facing a class-action lawsuit claiming the DOT is making it next to impossible for motorists to win an appeal of what can be onerous � nes that go along with the missed tolls.

� e Legislature needs to � x an obviously � awed system.� e problem is that if you miss paying a toll the DOT

says it is under no requirement to tell you about it. � e result can be a � ne that just keeps growing and growing.

And forget it if you think you can appeal your case and get a reasonable hearing. � e DOT sets the � nes for missed tolls, doesn’t have to tell you as the � nes grow and grow and then has an appeals process that has limits on how much � exibility administrative law judges have in their decisions.

Judge, jury and executioner all in one. And they say government can’t be e� cient.

Sen. Andy Hill, who represents Sammamish, has a proposal to improve the DOT’s customer service, address technology gaps and establish a one-time toll penalty amnesty program. All are worth consideration given that losing a class-action lawsuit would be really expensive for the state. Not only would the state likely have to repay toll penalties, but also face triple damages and attorneys’ fees.

� e Legislature is scrambling for money to pay for schools and other core functions. Having the state on the hook for a � awed toll system will only make things worse.

It doesn’t have to come to that. � e Legislature needs to follow up on Hill’s plan and, if necessary, develop it further.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The city of Bellevue is updating its comprehensive plan. Over the next four weeks, city officials will discuss different parts of the plan on this page. See box on this page for how to comment on the plan and attend an open house.

BY DAVE BERGSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Bellevue resident Jay Karns relies on Metro Access vans, Metro buses, good sidewalks and safe cross-walks to get from his group home in the Camden

Estates neighborhood in north Bellevue to his job at the Factoria 8 movie theater.

He gives the city high marks when it comes to improving city sidewalks and accessibility over time, though challenges remain.

“I’d give Bellevue an A-plus for effort because every year I’ve been here the city is getting better,” said Karns, a Bel-levue resident since 1981, who was born with spina bifida. “It’s good to see sidewalks on both sides of the street, or a wide enough shoulder to get from one end of a street to another. Areas with no sidewalks are chancy.”

He said crosswalks and curb ramps are particularly im-portant elements of a pedestrian system that’s accessible.

The city of Bellevue is committed to developing a com-munity that provides all people the opportunity to enjoy civic facilities, programs, services and activities without encountering barriers to access. In the Transportation Department, we’ve been incorporating ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards and best practices into our projects for more than 20 years.

In 2009, the Transportation Department completed a comprehensive inventory of barriers to access in the public right of way, such as sidewalks and curb ramps. Our plan to mitigate barriers identified by the inventory targets approxi-mately $1.25 million each year to construct missing curb ramps, repair uneven sidewalks and remove obstructions.

Achieving access improvements is really a two-pronged approach. We retrofit existing facilities and we build new sidewalks. Our Pavement Overlay Program retrofits 110 curb ramps each year on average, our Street Maintenance Program addresses sidewalk defects, and our Neighbor-hood Sidewalks Program constructs new sidewalks. We also respond to sidewalk issues raised by people who call our Operations and Maintenance Line at 425-452-7840.

As a convenience for pedestrians, we’ve been adding mid-block crossings, most of them with flashing beacons for en-hanced safety. I’m also proud to say we were the first city in the state to use smart traffic signals that temporarily display red left-turn arrows — which better protect pedestrians in

the crosswalk — before returning to a flashing yellow arrow. Sidewalks and accessibility are addressed in the draft up-

date of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Last updated in 2004, the Comp Plan is the community’s vision for the future of Bellevue, guiding city investments in infrastructure and policy. It helps define the kind of city we want Bellevue to become.

The draft plan covers a wide range of topics, including land use, housing, parks, economic development and hu-man services.

It also targets accessibility issues, calling for the city to “design, implement, and maintain transportation system improvements and deliver transportation services and pro-

We’re working hard to expand and improve our system of sidewalks and to address accessibility and public safety issues citywide, for the roughly 10,400 people with disabili-ties who live in Bellevue — including Karns. It’s a big job, considering there are more than 345 miles of sidewalks and 4,500 curb ramps citywide.

“In general it’s getting a lot better as time goes on,” Karns said of accessibility in Bellevue. “I can’t see the city going any other direction.”

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The Salvation Army Eastside Corps has raised $3.2 million — with a $5.5 million capital campaign goal — to construct a two-story, 17,280-square-foot community center in Bellevue’s Crossroads neighbor-hood. Corps Lt. Darryck Dwelle says the center will be the tool that allows the nonprofit to expand its social service and after-school programs that have long suf-fered capacity issues in its current facility.

“The building is just a resource in which we can meet a growing need in this Cross-roads area,” Dwelle said.

The community center will replace a 5,200-square-foot office building con-structed by the Salvation Army on the 900 block of 164th Avenue Northeast. the nonprofit had planned to be temporary, but has been operating for the past 10 years, serving communities in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell and Woodinville.

“We call it our one-room schoolhouse,” Dwelle said of the modular building.

The Salvation Army Eastside provides a number of social service programs primarily meant to assist the working poor, including emergency assistance with cover-ing utility costs, clothing for children and adults who need them for employment,

furniture vouchers, housing assistance and meal programs.

“Mostly we’re preventing people from entering homelessness,” Dwelle said. “We do a lot for the working poor in this area.”

There is also an after-school program at the current facility and a growing wait list to get in. The computer lab is a small room

with six working computers that more than 30 children in the program must take turns using. A kitchen where food is made to serve as many as 80 people coming by for a free meal is a little bigger than that. A number of other programs spill over into the worship room, but space is tight everywhere, Dwelle said.

The new community center design submitted to the city of Bellevue reflects the Salvation Army’s philosophical aspira-tions — a gym represents the body while classrooms on the southside of the build-ing represents the mind and the chapel symbolizes the spirit.

Dwelle said the new center will double space for dry storage like clothes and food bags and includes an industrial kitchen and larger space for the nonprofit’s meal program.

“The second floor is designed complete-ly for kids,” he said, and includes class-rooms, activity rooms and computer lab.

Dwelle said once the community center is completed, the Salvation Army hopes to expand its number of community partner-ships to add services and programs, with plans already set to open the gym up as a women and children’s shelter during the winter.

The hope is to break ground on the new community center, which will take over the current facility’s footprint and an adja-cent lot, in the final quarter of 2015. That will be contingent on the Salvation Army reaching its fundraising goal and being issued its building permits, Dwelle said.

To learn more about the project, Dwelle can be reached at 425-802-9429 or [email protected].

Another speaker in opposition to the express lanes system questioned Washington State Patrol's ability to enforce the new rules, as patrol officers will be relied on to make sure drivers are not lying about the number of occupants. They said there are already plenty of violators on I-405 and nearly no law enforce-ment presence. Emphasis patrols are expected to be-gin on the interstate once the express lanes open, but it is unclear for how long. Cameras also will be mounted to capture license plate numbers, the com-mission assuring audience members Tuesday night those cameras will not aim into their vehicles.

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 increment charge. Driv-ers can also register their license plate for photo identification (Pay By Plate). For a vehicle to qualify for free carpooling, drivers will be required to use the new Flex Pass, a

transponder that lets the driver change the setting to HOV-mode to avoid be-ing charged. This would be used in conjunction with the Good to Go! pass.

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 maxi-mum and expected only 10 percent of travel days. Seventy-seven percent of trips are expected to be below $1, according to the WSDOT.

WSDOT reports I-405

experiences up to eight hours of congestion daily, amounting to one of the worst traffic situations in the state. HOV lanes already on the interstate fail to operate at 45 mph as required by state and fed-eral guidelines 90 percent of the time.

Another commuter ac-cused the transportation department of trying to bump two-person carpools off the express lanes to meet the 45 mph mandate so as not to lose federal funding.

The Bellevue to Renton portion of the project remains unfunded, but could gain capital support depending on the out-come of efforts to pass a state transportation pack-age this legislative session.

Of the roughly $1.17 billion needed to com-plete this phase (along with several other projects), an executive ad-visory group recommends using $215 million from toll revenues.

The commission plans to adopt final recom-mendations for its I-405 rate-setting policies on March 18.

submit a digital 3-D model of a tool they though astronauts could use in space.

For her winning-design, NASA is send-ing the school a 3-D printer and Vernon is getting a 3-D print of her space planter, which she calls a "cute monster."

Niki Werkheiser, NASA's In-Space Manufacturing project manager at the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center, said she and the other judges were blown away by the creativity of the submissions and the potential of printing tools in space.

"If an astronaut tool breaks, future space pioneers won't be able to go to the local hardware store to purchase a replacement, but with 3-D printing they will be able to create their own replacement or event cre-ate tools we've never seen before," she said.

Last week Vernon got the chance to pitch her idea to the panel of expert judges including Werkheiser, Made In Space Inc. head of research and development Mike Snyder and NASA astronauts Reid Wise-man and Dr. Yvonne Cagle.

The Space Planter model would allow people to grow plants on the International Space Station while being "really water conservative," Vernon said.

"First, put the disc into the 'mouth' of the creature. Tie a string to each of the

ears and dangle them down through the hole in the disc into the lower part of the monster," she told Wiseman during her Skype interview with him. "Fill this lower part with water. Fill the top part with dirt and plant a seed. The plant will actually suck up any water it needs from the two strings dangling into the water so it is very water conservative. Also, it looks like a cute monster."

The challenge is the first in a series of Future Engineers 3-D Printing challenges for students focused on designing solu-tions to space exploration problems. The next challenge is slated to be announced in April.

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

One of the premiere dance festivals in the Pacific Northwest is returning to Bel-levue next week for its eighth year after nearly having to cancel its performances last fall.

Due to an unexpected change in grant award policy, Chop Shop: Bodies of Work, a contemporary dance festival featuring leading national and international award-winning choreographers, was facing an $8,000 loss in funding.

Eva Stone, producer and curator of Chop Shop, turned to the arts community and lovers of dance to help raise the money through an online crowd funding cam-paign via Kickstarter.

It was some of the longest 21 days of her life, she said, but once the goal was reached it was back to business getting people to love dance as much as she does.

Performances will be held at The Theatre at Meydenbauer Center at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday (Feb. 14) and at 3 p.m. Sunday (Feb. 15).

“People love dance, they just don’t know it yet,” Stone said. “Our mission is to bring quality, contemporary dance to Eastside audiences through education, interaction,

dialogue and experience.”But to get an audience into a contempo-

rary dance performance has its challenges, especially the stigma that modern dance is too “edgy” or “weird” for many people to enjoy.

Stone said that’s why she created Chop Shop in the first place.

“We want to support local and regional dance artists and promote the accessibil-ity and the presentation of contemporary dance for both new and experienced dance audiences,” she said. “If we don’t start including the audience, who is going to pay for a ticket?”

Last month, Stone and others helped dozens of people understand why dancers move certain ways and what their posi-tions may mean during the “Experience Dance Program,” a free lecture demonstra-tion and introductory level modern dance classes through a collaboration with the Bellevue Parks and Community Services Department.

“We spend an hour or so pulling back the curtain and revealing the wizards of dance,” she said. “It’s really helped people new to dance understand the nuances and realize it’s OK to be a little confused and it’s

the audience of something.”Prior to the Saturday

performance, master class-es taught by the choreogra-phers from the 10 different dance companies will be available for students in training.

Choreographer Alana O’Farrell Rogers, who has performed in several previ-ous Chop Shops, said while some pieces may not appeal to everyone, the festival as

a whole has always reso-nated with audiences.

Inspired by her work at a local nursing home and the people she met there, O’Farrell Rogers said her piece “Rewind” is an ex-amination of memory loss, which almost everyone can connect to.

“I realized just how diffi-cult it is for them, for their families, to see them lose what they’ve had,” she said. “It’s about loss of identity, in the sense at that time when you no longer have a choice of who you are or who you want to be.”

The five-dancer per-formance had to be cut roughly in half from its original work to meet the 10 minute requirement for Chop Shop, but O’Farrell Rogers said the piece is still

a complete work.O’Farrell Rogers’ piece

will be featured alongside San Francisco-based com-pany The Foundry; Asher Lev from Brussels and Israel; Coriolis Dance of Seattle; Gabrielle Revlock of Philadelphia and New York City; Jamie Karlovich of Seattle; Lindsey Matheis of Portland and New York City; Project20 of Vancou-ver, British Columbia.

Stone is also showcasing a new work “Architecture of the Human Body” a sev-en-woman piece examining physical connectivity.

In its continuing Songbook Series, Purple Phoenix Productions is bringing the works of Billie Holiday back to life. Often considered one of the most influ-ential and iconic jazz vocalists of all time, Holiday’s work will be performed by Stacie Calkins at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Unity Performing Arts Center inside the Unity of Bellevue building. Calkins is slated to perform some of Holiday’s most popular tracks including, “Lover Man (Where Can You Be),” “I Cover The Waterfront,” “What A Little Moonlight Can Do,” “Them There Eyes,” “I Cried For You,” “You’ve Changed” and “Good Morn-ing Heartache.” The concert is also scheduled to include Holiday’s controversial classic “Strange Fruit.” According to David Duvall, Purple Phoenix Productions’ artistic director, the 1939 recorded song was originally a poem

written by a Jewish writer in New York who later set it to music. “When it was brought to Billie’s attention, she initially resisted singing it because it reminded her of her father’s death,” Duvall said. “When she finally decided to sing it, her record label didn’t want her to record it because of the serious political nature of the song — a vivid description of the aftermath of a lynching.” After it was recorded, many radio sta-tions refused to play it, but it became a cult classic anyway, as she included it in her nightclub and concert repertoire for the remainder of her career, he said. Although held in the newly built UPAC Auditorium, the concert series is not re-lated to the church. Tickets can be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com for $25 or at the door for $30.

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A Bellevue rheumatologist's medical license was placed on five year's proba-tion by the Washington Department of Health last month for a score of offenses that included hiring unlicensed nurses, poor record-keeping, questionable prescriptions and violations of physician-patient boundaries, which resulted in one marriage.

Carl J. Brodie, a 24-year Washington physician and surgeon, entered into an order agreement with the Medical Quality Assurance Commission on Jan. 8 that confirms the findings of an investigation brought about by a whistleblower com-plaint about the doctor's practice.

The Bellevue doctor began treating a 36-year-old female patient for symptoms from lupus in 1994, entering into a sexual relationship in 2009 that lasted through 2011, according to charging documents.

During this time Brodie continued prescribing the patient opioids, benzodi-azepine and other medications, including a questionable and life-threatening drug. MQAC states in charges that Brodie failed to educate the patient about the risks of opioids and other medications, as he did in other patients' cases.

He hired the patient as his office man-ager a year after their relationship began,

charges state, prescribing her medications paid for through insurance he provided at his practice, Immune Disease Treatment Services. He also allegedly wrote prescrip-tions for the patient's daughter and did not maintain records of her as a patient. He also reported writing prescriptions for his office manager-lover's dog, which MQAC states exceeded the scope of his practice.

Brodie reportedly had engaged in a previous sexual relationship with a patient sometime after treatments began in 2002, marrying her in 2005. They divorced in 2009. The doctor continued her treat-ments during their relationship.

And prior to that Brodie allegedly had a relationship with another woman, stating the relationship ended in 1996 — before he began treating her in 2001. MQAC states Brodie also wrote questionable prescriptions for the woman and kept shoddy patient records.

The Bellevue doctor also hired unlicensed nurses, first in 2006 — that employee was certified a year later — and again in 2009. In 2010, Brodie signed blank prescriptions for staff to fill while he was on vacation, according to charges.

Along with probation, Brodie agreed to completing a professional boundaries pro-gram, taking an opioid prescribing course, paying a $35,000 fine and a number of other corrective and educational actions.

Making the extra pass is a staple of winning basketball programs regardless of the level of play.

The Bellevue Bulldogs men's basketball team displayed their efficiency both offensively and defensively in a 76-44 win against the Whatcom Orcas on Jan. 28 at Bellevue College.

Bellevue improved its overall record to 19-2 (6-0 league) with the win. The Bulldogs are in sole possession of first place in the Northwest Athletic Conference North Division and are on a 10-game winning streak. Bulldogs' sophomore guard Jalen Ward, who finished the game with a team-high 15 points and six assists, said the Bulldogs’ team chemistry is the reason for their success. The Bulldogs finished with 14 assists and five Bulldogs players scored in double figures against the Orcas.

"The unity on this team brings us together. We like to share the ball. When you bring that continuity to the table, it enables us to play better and better each game," Ward said.

Bellevue head coach Jeremy Eggers said the 2014-15 Bulldogs basketball team is special.

"They're so fun to coach. They like each other, play to-gether and it's just good team basketball. It's about as good

Feb. 1 is a date I will never forget due to sheer men-tal anguish and despair.

For the eighth consecutive year, I hosted a Super Bowl shindig in North Puyallup. In my opinion, Super Bowl XLIX was one of the best Super Bowls ever played. It was by far the biggest emotional roller coaster I’ve experienced watching a game as a fan.

Following Jermaine Kearse’s acrobatic catch on the Patriots 5-yard line late in the fourth quarter, it ap-peared to Seahawks fans across the world it was only a matter of time until they punched the ball into the end-zone for a 31-28 lead and a second consecutive Super Bowl title.

Unfortunately it never materialized. Following a 4-yard run by Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson was intercepted by Patriots’ defensive back Malcolm Butler with 20 seconds left in regulation, sealing a Patriots 28-24 victory.

In the seconds and minutes following Wilson’s inter-ception, the mood was undeniably somber at my apart-ment. It was a mixture of shock, sadness, anger and disappointment all rolled into a package of pure agony.

The Seahawks were agonizingly close to winning

back-to-back Super Bowl titles. They were 1 yard away from realizing not only their dream, but the aspirations of every Seahawks fan on the planet. The days following the loss were undoubtedly tough for Seahawks fans.

The good news for Hawks fans is the future is bright for the home team. Star players Richard Sherman, Kam Chan-cellor, Earl Thomas and Russell Wilson are cornerstones of the franchise and will be on the roster for years to come. Going to back-to-back Super Bowls is an accomplishment in itself. I just hope the Seahawks will return for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance in Santa Clara in February of 2016.

of a team brand of basketball I have had in my 12 years here as a coach," Eggers said. "It's unique to have that great of team unity."

Ward said the team bond was built months before the 2014-15 season officially kicked off with its October prac-tice sessions.

"It all started with our open gyms in the summer. Most of us went through summer league together. Everybody showed up every day to work hard and get better," Ward said. "We have a mindset that we will never be satisfied, no matter what the rankings or how many games we've won in a row. We will just never be satisfied."

Eggers said the Bulldogs are amped about the final seven games remaining on their regular season schedule.

"We're really going to find out a lot about ourselves. We got some tough games on the road coming up," he said. "We have met some challenges so far and have done really well. We're excited about the next month."

Bellevue Bulldogs sophomore forward Anthony McLaughlin couldn't wait to get back on the floor after a one-month hiatus.

McLaughlin, who suffered a strained groin against the Highline Thunderbirds on Dec. 14, returned to

the Bulldogs' lineup against Shoreline on Jan. 10. A week later, McLaughlin scored 18 points and secured 12 rebounds in the Bulldogs' 85-79 win against the Skagit Valley Cardinals on Jan. 17. "It is awesome to be back out on the

court with my teammates. It was so hard watching these guys play and not being able to contrib-ute," McLaughlin said. "We have such a great group of guys. Being able to get back out there on the court is a lot of fun."

The Bulldogs have put together a formidable 19-2 overall record thus far. McLaughlin said camaraderie and team unity drive the Bulldogs.

"From the very beginning, we all bought into coach (Jeremy) Eggers system. We play team basketball and that is the biggest key to this team's success," McLaugh-lin said. "We don't have a star. On any given night any one of us can step up for our team. I feel like that is what makes us so special."

McLaughlin thoroughly enjoys playing collegiate basketball just 19 miles from the town he grew up in. He is a 2012 graduate of Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie.

"My family makes it to almost every single game.

They're awesome supporters," he said. "Being that close to home is great."

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask McLaughlin a few questions about his life away from the basketball court.

Bellevue Reporter: What are your favorite eateries in Bellevue?

Anthony McLaughlin: I would have to go with The Cheesecake Factory, Tokyo Steakhouse and Joey's.

BR: What is your favorite movie of all time?AM: "Remember the Titans." I have probably seen

that movie more than any other in my entire life.

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?AM: When someone isn't working

hard.

BR: What is your favorite dinner dish?

AM: Some kind of steak.

BR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

AM: I still watch Spongebob SquarePants (cartoon). It is one of my favorite TV shows.

BR: Where is your dream vacation destination?AM: Somewhere that is tropical and somewhere that

is sunny.

BR: Who was your favorite sports team growing up?AM: The Seattle SuperSonics. I went to so many

games when I was kid. When they left it was a big disap-pointment.

Gu wins piano competition

Andrew Gu of Bellevue, a second grade student at Somerset Elementary School, has won the �rst prize for Age Group 1 in the Grotrian-Steinweg International Piano Com-petition in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany.

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A guardian grievance investigator charged to protect the elderly is under investigation for allegedly making unauthorized charges with a credit card belonging to a Bellevue senior while acting as her accountant and power of attorney.

Sally Rees reportedly admitted to police she'd used a secondary credit card belonging to an 85-year-old Bellevue woman she had power of attorney over for the past four years to make at least $5,000 in unauthorized purchases, according to an a�davit for search warrant �led in King County Superior Court. She is also alleged to have forged the signature of the woman's daughter for at least one of several hundred credit card transactions.

According to the a�davit, Rees provided documenta-tion of her paying o� the debt she illegally accrued on the elderly woman's credit card. However, investigators report her �nancial management records as being too confus-ing to determine the sources of those funds. Her records for managing the Bellevue woman's �nances were also "extremely confusing," according to the a�davit.

successful without the help of these groups here.”

The fundamental question of this year’s legislative sessions continues to focus on how the state will properly fund education and find the billions of dollars needed to satisfy the McCleary decision, Inslee said.

In his proposed budget, the governor sug-gested taxing the state’s largest polluters via a cap-and-trade deal and some of its wealthi-est through a capital-gains tax. Both had raised the ire of state republicans who claim

there are other methods to balancing the budget, but have yet to put forth any official budget proposals, he said.

Taking money out of housing, for in-stance, may appear like an easy solution, but the ramifications and the ripple effect of how it’ll affect the state’s students will just cause further education problems, the governor added.

“We can’t create more homeless, hungry children,” he said. “They can’t be in the back of ‘89 Buick and be expected to do their homework. These students need support to ensure they’re ready to learn.”

Despite the uphill battle he’s facing, Inslee said he’s confident a bipartisan budget will be passed and not at the expense of student

services.To help that cause, the governor asked the

community leaders to reach out to legisla-tors, tell their story of success and explain how the children are “a good investment.”

As the landscape of Bellevue continues to

change it’s more important than ever having the school district and the social programs on the same page to continue that success, Balducci added.
