Puget Sound Energy has completed its new Ardmore Substation and power from the facility should be � owing to homes, businesses and schools of 22,000 customers in the Overlake area of Bellevue and Redmond.
� e facility is located at 15335 NE 24th St. in Redmond. Siting the new substation involved numerous meetings
with residents in both Bellevue and Redmond. � e � nal site is south of Northeast 24th Street and west of Bel-Red Road. � e spot is the former location of a Bank of America branch.
PSE’s traditional substation footprint was too large to � t on a number of properties so several technology and de-sign innovations were incorporated to save space without sacri� cing reliability.
� e work involved more than 165 employees from multiple departments, more than 20 partnering companies, and several consultants and contractors.
“With a tight time line, it’s always a challenge to get so many entities to work together,” said Scott Tongue, the project’s substation foreman, “but it was a fun project for the substation department getting to work with new tech-nology and equipment and we did what we were best at, building substations.”
� e soon-to-be-completed 50 Megavolt-ampere (MVA) capacity substation will initially serve about 22,000 cus-tomers and can be expanded to serve 160 MVA of load
(enough for about 60,000 -70,000 customers). It integrates the latest technology and innovative design.
PSE completes Ardmore Substation
The front of Ardmore substation uses a combination of landscaping and an artistic architectural wall to blend in with the community’s future urban vision.
■ � ree times the capacity at half the size. � e substation uses gas insulated switchgear technology to achieve a very small footprint without sacri� cing capacity or reliability. ■ � e Ardmore substation is smart grid-enabled. If
a piece of equipment fails, the substation can automat-ically reroute power to restore service to the a� ected customers. � is is a � rst for PSE.■ � e Ardmore substation is the � rst installation
of “Flat SCADA” (Supervisory Control and Data Ac-quisition) architecture at PSE. � is design eliminates multiple database con� gurations, redundant devices, a lot of redundant wiring and reduces database errors. It also allows for remote HMI (Human Machine In-terface) access. Viewing the HMI remotely allows per-sonnel to view and analyze substation status, alarms, and operations before sending workers to the site.■ � e substation includes multiple artistic design
features, the result of collaboration with the juris-diction and community. � e theme of “energy and motion” is seen throughout its design, from the land-scaping, architectural fences and walls to the artistic landmark transmission pole in the front of the station.
More than 11,000 plants that have been planted into soil � lled bags will grow together to form a strong vegetation mesh and earth retaining wall.
SUBSTATION HIGHLIGHTS
Bellevue has received a federal grant to make solar panel installation easier and cheaper by establishing consistent stan-dards and processes for all utility types and jurisdictions.
Solar power can generate a considerable amount of electricity for a household, but the high cost of the hardware, permitting and installation means only a dozen ho-
meowners in Bellevue have installed solar panels on their roofs so far.
Bellevue has teamed up with the state Department of Commerce, local utilities and the cities of Edmonds, Ellensburg and Seattle to reduce administrative barriers to residential and small commercial solar panel installations by streamlining, standardizing and automating administrative processes.
Known as the Evergreen State Solar Partnership (ESSP), the team was one of 22 nationwide to receive a grant for the federal Department of Energy’s Roo� op Solar Challenge. � e ESSP received $523,800.
� e Bellevue City Council on June 18 ap-proved Bellevue’s acceptance of its $65,000 share of the grant. � e grant requires Bel-levue to provide up to $10,000 in in-kind
contributions.� e ESSP aims not only to shorten per-
mitting processing turnaround times, but also to establish online permitting for solar panel installation. � e Development Ser-vices Department plans to expand online review to all construction, � re protection, right of way, utility connection and land use actions by May 2013.

The Municipal League has released ratings for candi-dates in the Bellevue area for contested races in the Aug. 7 Primary election.
The Municipal League candidate ratings are based on four criteria–Involvement, Effectiveness, Character & Knowledge. The ratings are produced by citizen volunteers seeking to understand the potential a candidate has to be truly effective in the office they seek and to beneficially serve the community.
Political affiliation or the stance a candidate has on any particular issue are not considered as part of the League rating process.
Candidates aren’t rated against each other, nor are the ratings endorsements, the Muni League said.
More information is available online at www.muni-league.org.
The possible ratings are: Outstanding – Has made numerous outstanding contri-
butions requiring skills related to the office, is a path-find-ing and respected leader, brings knowledge and creativity to issues facing the office.
Very Good – Makes significant contributions, is a skilled builder of consensus, inspires confidence in the way he/she would serve, is thorough and attentive to issues.
Good – Has been active and effective in many roles, is capable of moving people to productive action, has strong
record of participation in problem solving, shows satisfac-tory commitment to tackling issues.
Adequate – Has a record of participation and interest, is effective on specific issues, has provoked questions about suitability as an office holder, will need significant time/energy to fill gaps in knowledge.
Not Qualified – Doesn’t appear engaged, has a record that casts doubt on ability to be productive, hasn’t dem-onstrated ability to deal with responsibilities of office, has narrow focus, inflexible attitude or is otherwise troubling.
Here are their results (note – i = incumbent):

Hopelink gets light-rail grant
Hopelink and Futurewise have received a $20,000 federal grant to help ensure that traditionally underserved com-munities are engaged in the planning and development process for Sound Transit’s East Link corridor project. The 14-mile line will connect Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond beginning in 2023.
The funding – through the Growing Transit Communi-ties Equity Grant Program – will help community organiz-ers lay the groundwork to educate and involve low-income families, people of color and immigrant and refugee communities. The funding also will pilot test a grassroots strategy to reach out to underserved communities near the Overlake stations and update them about East Link cor-ridor planning effort.
Hopelink will receive $15,000 directly and serve as the fiscal sponsor for another $5,000 awarded to Futurewise, a statewide public interest group working to promote healthy communities and cities. Also included in the partnership are the cities of Redmond and Bellevue.
The Growing Transit Communities partnership is fund-ed by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s upholding of most of President Obama’s health-care law doesn’t end the discussion of health care in this country. Fix-
ing the system has a long way to go.� e court’s 5-4 decision was somewhat of a surprise.
Conservatives had argued that Congress could not use the concept of interstate commerce to force everyone to buy health insurance. � e court’s majority decision essentially agreed with that.
However, Chief Justice John Roberts and the four liberals on the court said the government’s move amounted to a tax – and that is something well within the power of Congress. People still won’t have to buy health insurance, but they will face a tax liability if they don’t.
As much as the health-care debate has centered on legal arguments, the fact remains that our health system is � awed. � e new law will � x some of that, but we still have a long, long way to go.
Most Americans have health coverage provided by large employers. � ey won’t see major changes. � e real impact is for the poor.
� ere are 32 million people in this country who are shut out from having health care. Either they are too poor to a� ord it or they are so sick that a private insur-ance company won’t provide them coverage.
� e law will change much of that, by expanding Med-icaid – the federal/state program that helps the poor – and by making Health Bene� t Exchanges available where people can compare costs and bene� ts of health insurance programs.
However, these improvements come at a cost – or at least a concern. Making sure all people have health insurance means more people will be seeing physicians. Today, there are not enough doctors to treat all these new, potential patients.
� e health-care debate will continue – it is, a� er all, a presidential election year. But if it’s done nothing else, the Supreme Court’s decision has forced politicians and the public to face this issue. � at, at least, is a start.
The June 22 Bellevue Reporter guest column, “Caught between salmon and com-
mon sense” by Dr. Martin Nizlek touched on several important issues regarding stewardship of Lake Sam-mamish and the Sammamish River. King County is actively working
with Samma-mish Watershed communities to address lake level issues and early results are posi-tive, but � rst let me share how we got to this point.
As Dr. Nizlek noted, the Sam-mamish River
was reconstructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1964 to pro-tect the Sammamish River Valley from spring � oods and to keep the lake from rising too high. � is work included straightening the river, reconstructing its banks, building levees and reconstructing the lake outlet with a new channel and weir.
Overall, the � ood control project has performed well, preventing nearly all � ooding in the Samma-mish River Valley and signi� cantly reducing the height and � uctuation of lake levels that occurred prior to 1964.
However, throughout the Sam-mamish Watershed, extensive increases in urban development since 1964 have resulted in higher � ows into Lake Sammamish and the Sammamish River.
Willows and other plants along the channel edge were allowed to grow in a attempt to cool water temperatures and improve habitat for � sh species listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Spe-cies Act that had been signi� cantly impacted from alterations to the river.
A few years ago, a group of citizens led by Dr. Nizlek correctly suggested that King County do a better job of maintaining the outlet channel below the lake to ensure lake elevations remained low.
� is led to last year’s implementa-tion of an eight-point action plan that included commitments for more frequent vegetation mowing and trimming, removing some in-vasive vegetation, investigating the potential for sediment removal, and evaluating a long-term modi� cation of the outlet channel to improve lake level control and habitat condi-tions.
A� er completing the � rst year of this action plan, we observed sub-stantial improvements in lake levels this past winter. � is summer, we will be working in partnership with the cities of Redmond and Bellevue to study the feasibility of long-term improvements.
King County remains committed to working with the community on addressing any concerns in the Sammamish Watershed. Mark Isaacson is director of the Water and Land Resources Divi-sion in King County’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks.

More than friends Bark for Life shows that dogs help make us human
Couture apparel, holistic and organic food and snacks, adven-turous getaways on the water
and in the mountains: sounds like an event perfectly suited for the discerning tastes of the Greater Eastside.
Or its dogs.While it is still
without a gas station, grocery store, post o� ce or many of the other previously fundamental aspects of a community, the Issaquah Highlands does have a dog park. On June 30, it may have found its sig-nature event in the American Cancer Society’s Bark for Life.
Some duos came dressed in match-ing out� ts, leaving no uncertainty where they stand on the polarizing practice of clothing pets. Booths gave festival-goers an opportunity to learn about integrating dogs into activities such as hiking and boating, or pour over food packaging labels featuring all-natural ingredients meant to sustain joint health or ward o� parasites.
� e common tie was a deeply rooted passion for canines and the undeniable power they wield over us.
“I love dogs so much,” event chair Stephanie Quam said while holding her 11-year-old dog Otis. “I try to � nd things we can do together and this was really fun.”
And the positivity is more than just perception.
� e Center for Disease Control and Prevention cites a number of stud-ies on the bene� ts of dog ownership and states pets can decrease a person’s blood pressure and cholesterol. Other studies have shown child development and elderly disposition can be posi-tively e� ected by the simple presence of a companion animal like a dog.
For anyone who has ever been truly invested in a pet, that comes as no surprise.
Kids grow up and move out, trading the outright admiration of their parents for the unconditional nurturing of their own children. Friends o� er a chance to escape the dregs of the nine-to-� ve, but only on occasion and without the relaxed disposition a dog or cat o� ers.
Bark for Life was successful enough in its � rst appearance in the Highlands that Quam said it could become an an-nual event. With the area’s exponential growth, more schools and commercial space are already on the way. Luckily, everyone will already have a perfect place to relax with friends.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.
If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — the place that does the most joint replacements in the state. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.
Register now. Our seminars take just two hours, and the rest of your active life is waiting.

A little over two weeks ago I le� the country to visit the ever-controversial nation of Israel. It was part of the
Birthright program, a plan created by private donors and the Israeli government to get young Americans with Jewish heritage between 18 and 26 to visit the country. � e goal of these trips is up for debate. Is it to get Americans to move to Israel, increase the donor base, or simply a way to educate?
I came in with full preparation for propa-ganda. But what I got surprised me. No one attempted to push me towards being more religious or supporting the politics or actions of Israel. Indirectly yes, through tours of some
of the country’s best and brightest attractions, I, along with 39 others on the trip, saw the
good side of the country. But instead of being
told what I should think, or how I should relate to Israel, I was simply asked plenty of open-ended questions. Unfortunately the trip was so power-packed that I still haven’t had time to process them.
What I did leave with is a sense of community I haven’t found o� en in life. Everyone in the group came from a
di� erent walk of life, yet we all had something in common, Judaism. Few of us regularly attended Temple, and all of us weren’t even born Jewish, but everyone identi� ed with it in one way or another. And what this trip did for me, and a lot of the others, was show that we can be accepted into this family, regardless of where we came from.
Beyond the spiritual aspect, what a trip it was. In just over 10 days, we saw thousands upon thousands of years of history.
One day I was hiking an ancient fortress-mountain and riding camels, and the next I was putting notes into the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. I got to see one of the best cities for nightlife in the world, Tel Aviv, and an underground bullet factory in the city of
Hivot, which bears a striking semblance to Bellevue with a recent rise to prominence due to the success of tech companies located in the city.
To the young readers out there, with a Jewish background and a list of questions, I implore you to check out this trip. You may come back like me with a renewed sense of community, or you may not. But hey, who doesn’t want a free trip to Israel?

Clark Nuber honored� e Association of Accounting Marketing
(AAM) presented Clark Nuber P.S. with a Marketing Achievement Award (MAA) in the Marketing Campaign category for their direct marketing piece, “Auditing by the Numbers.”
Bellevue-based Clark Nuber is the sixth largest accounting � rm in the Seattle region and designated the 108th largest accounting � rm in the United States by Inside Public Ac-counting.
� e last few years of economic peril have caused companies to shrink, cut and slash. Now, with many of them at a bare-bones level of sta� ng, the question becomes how to increase productivity with those employees who are le� .
One possible solution lies in a small of-� ce just o� Richards Road in Bellevue.
LiquidPlanner, an online project man-agement service, just celebrated its fourth anniversary. Founded by former Expe-dia veterans Charles Seybold and Jason Carlson, it gives businesses the ability to clearly and simply show the progress of a project.
“� e project management market had kind of been asleep at the wheel for years,” Seybold said.
He said he saw this � rst hand at Expedia as it went from a small startup at Micro-so� to the industry-leading travel giant it has become today.
But with growth came problems,
Seybold said. With endless projects and a continually expanding sta� , it became harder and harder to deliver things on time.
Seybold said the company tried numer-ous ways to manage projects better, but in the end, they had to fall back on spread-sheets. But as he saw the e� ectiveness of social media in people’s personal lives, he
wanted to build something that would al-low better interaction between employees, leading to more accurate communication about projects.

Calgary, Alberta-based engineering company, Tangent Services knew it needed to be e� cient to succeed in a global market. � e company was having problems with short-term planning. Management would create deadlines for when projects needed to be � nished, but how employees would get there from week to week proved di� cult.
About three years ago, the company looked to LiquidPlanner to � x its dilemma. John Person, vice president of the company, said the service made a big di� er-
ence. It put the control of project timing into the people actually completing it, and in an organized fashion.
“Because it is easy for sta� to use, we get high compliance with it,” he said. “People aren’t thinking it’s an extra administrative burden; it’s part of the project to use it.”
dates for completion of a project, something Seybold said was di� cult to do pre-viously. Licenses to use the system cost $24 a month if paid for through the full year, or $29 for month-to-month licenses.
Seybold said the company has tried a few di� erent programs, some that failed, others that have done better. When he le� Expedia in
2006, Seybold took the sum-mer o� to work on ideas. With his partner Carlson, they decided to go with what they knew: solving problems. And according to Seybold, project manage-ment was a problem.
LiquidPlanner launched just months before the economic crash. But while this abrupt turn of events marked the death of many
new companies, it actu-ally helped the new � rm. Applications to increase productivity became more popular, and people wanted to simplify, he said.
“With the � nancial crisis, suddenly this huge spot-light was focused on the operations of every com-pany,” Seybold said. “� ese organizations now weren’t just competing locally, they were competing globally.”

physician workforce by Association of American Medical Colleges, Washington has one primary care physician to every 1,143 patients. That ratio is expected to increase once individuals are required to carry health insurance and may place a strain on primary care facilities.
Washington State Hospital Association spokesperson Cassie Sauer said incen-tives need to be given for doctors to enter primary care in order to reduce the doctor-patient ratio, including paying a reasonable amount for primary care. Many doctors no longer accept patients with Medicaid because the reimburse-ment is too low.
“We need to promote training, funding and legislation, if necessary, that ensures networks of physicians adequate to treat
patients in the programs,” said Washington State Medical Association CEO Tom Curry. The biggest challenge will be redefining “what is access” and how care is delivered to patients.
That may not mean seeing a MD, Curry said.
Yet despite concerns, Overlake officials believe the medical center can adapt to new regulations and new patients.
Brown said the primary care clinics will add more staff if there is a sustained in-crease in patient use because it is important to keep people healthy before they need to get into emergency care.
“We will be watching for what impacts and what particular regulations come as a result of it,” Brown said. “Quality, value-based health care is where the industry is going and we’re definitely following that curve.”
“It’s important as pet owners to educate ourselves and know there is a lot we can do for our dogs,” Sarbu said. “Events like this are great to let people know that this hap-pens to pets as well and when it does, we have options.”
The event was the first in the Highlands, but one that event chair and local resident Stephanie Quam believes will become an annual happening. She and her 11-year-old dog Otis spearheaded the event after
doing the same last year at Bark for Life in Renton.
“I wanted to bring it here because ev-eryone around here is so passionate about pets,” Quam said. “I love dogs so much; they are my passion. Everyone has been touched by cancer, and I try to find things Otis and I can do together.”
According to the event’s website, over $1,400 was raised, 100 percent of which goes to the American Cancer Society.
Bellevue fire stations will collect food and toys the month of July to support an effort by Hopelink to brighton the holidays for Bellevue infants, children and teens.
The toys will go to children at the Crossroads Community Center’s annual holiday party in December. Last year, more than 1,500 families turned to the center for help and organizers are concerned that the number of people asking for help may be even greater this year.
According to the latest statistics, more than 22 percent of Bellevue schoolchildren currently qualify for a free or reduced lunch, and local service agencies are report-ing unprecedented requests for assistance. Hopelink is challenged in a similar way, struggling to provide quality food in a time of great need.
To help, residents are encouraged to bring food and new, unwrapped toys, books, games, gift certificates, and sports equipment for young people of all ages to any Bellevue fire station during the month of July.
Food and toy drive donations will be ac-cepted at all Bellevue fire stations:

Youth facilities at two East Bellevue federally assisted housing communities are being expanded to provide more a� er-school programs for low-income children.
A� er the remodels, the Bellevue Boys and Girls Clubs clubhouses at Spiritwood Manor, 1424 148th Ave. SE and Hidden Village at 14508 SE 24th St. will aim to provide better educational opportunities to adolescents by connecting extra-curricular activities with the children’s’ school activities.
KCHA has partnered with the Bellevue School District, Eastside Pathways and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bel-levue to design the program model for the two locations. � e facilities, once complete, will include classrooms, multipurpose activity rooms, computer labs and art rooms.
� e expansion initiative began last year, focusing on 17 assisted housing com-munities in King County, in an e� ort to renovate youth facilities and create adult ca-reer development resources
by working with Head Start. As the focus shi� ed
from larger communities to smaller developments, KCHA found the opportu-nity to work more closely with parents, school districts and nonpro� t providers to improve youth programs.
Bellevue BGC aims to provide academic pro-grams speci� c to the youth in Spiritwood Manor and Hidden Village. Eastside Pathways, an organiza-tion that works to provide children with a ful� lling and successful life from cradle to career, will work with BGC, the school district and the housing authority to address gaps
in each organization’s goals for low-income students in those communities.
Using data provided by the Bellevue School District, certain subjects, tutors, study skill workshops, or other academic support would be provided. Teachers in the district also plan to keep lines of communica-tion open with students, parents and BGC sta� to ensure students don’t fall through the cracks.
“It’s really more of a con-nect the dots e� ort,” said Eastside Pathways president, Bill Henningsgaard.
Kathy Haggart, CEO of Bellevue BGC, said the partnerships enable sta�
members to adjust program-ming to what kids need academically, while partner-ing those goals with physical and nutritional program-ming provided by BGC sta� . � e holistic approach helps adolescents learn how to make smart decisions in life, she said.
“It’s a terri� c example of how diff erent organizations can work together for kids and families,” she said.

When Ray Keane told his two young sons they would be moving halfway around the world, their initial reac-tion was predictable.
Neither Killian nor Karl, now ages 13 and 11, were interested in the prospects of leaving behind their lives in Ireland for the uncer-tainty of the United States. But with the help of a game that runs in their blood, the Keane’s, and many other ex-patriots who have come to the Eastside, have found a new home among a familiar community.
Love and rugby Josh Young doesn’t
have a long lineage of rugby, or childhood tales of his conquests as a youth player. � e former Boe-ing employee and teacher didn’t get into a scrum or do any rucking until he was a junior at South Kitsap High School, when he and a friend stumbled upon the local youth rugby club.
A basketball and football player throughout much of his life, Young found that rugby provided a cross-sec-tion of his favorite aspects from other team sports – the quick pace and frequent ball movement of basket-ball, the physical nature of football – and matched it with a sense of community not common among other sports. But it wasn’t until joining the team at Wash-ington State University that Young found a true passion
for the game. “We had a really good
team, got to win quite a few games and I made a lot of great friends,” Young said. “� at was de� nitely when I fell in love with rugby.”
Ever since, his mission has been � nding people to share in that love.
Growing the game With his collegiate career
over but his interest in the game at an all-time high, Young began searching for ways to remain connected to rugby. But without a youth club in the area and no one truly invested in bringing the game to the

masses on the Eastside, he found himself at a dead end.
� en he connected with Waisale Serevi.
Known around the world as “� e King of Rugby 7s,” Serevi is the foremost ambassador of rugby in the United States and in 2010, selected Seattle as the base camp for Serevi Rugby. Shortly a� er, he tabbed Young to head the youth programming, giving him a chance to make a career in the game he can’t live without.
“It’s a joy,” Young said of working for Serevi. “To be able to live my dreams and grow the sport of rugby for a job is a great opportunity.”
Along with his work
for Serevi, which includes organizing youth camps and integrating the sport in elementary school physical education programs, Young is the backbone of the Eastside Lions. Founded in 2007, the Lions are the only rugby club on the Greater Eastside and the number of participants has doubled in size each year of the club’s existence. � e club was founded by Matt Hudson, but a� er a year at the helm, an opportunity to coach his alma mater at WSU was too good to pass up, leaving Young in charge.
“It’s been great meeting people from all the cities and � nding out their inter-est in rugby,” he said. “It has been a lot of fun to have my passion as a job.”
At home on the pitch When the Eastside Lions
began in 2007 as the Bel-levue Tyrants, the program had fewer than 15 kids all ranging from 14-18 in age. Today, the program has grown to � eld sides at the U8, U12, U14, U16 and U19 levels, in addition to the Super Lions men’s team and a girls program that is still in its infancy but with a dedicated following.
Many of the Lions come from football or another sport hoping to stay in
shape during the o� season, but the program has also proven popular with the large ex-patriot communi-ties around the Eastside, including the Keane’s.
Ray said one of the con-cerns his boys voiced about the move to the U.S. was how it would impact their opportunity to continue playing a game they hope to make a career of.
“� e guys have done a re-ally good job,” Keane said of Young and others involved in growing the Lions’ base. “� e key thing is kind of spreading the word.”
Young estimates 15 percent of the 150 players in the Lions’ system are ex-pats. Most come from European nations, making rugby a � tting and reliable transitional tool. Keane has been so impressed that he has not only kept his own children involved, but along with another ex-pat from Ireland, helped Young found the “minis” program. Designed to ensure the accessibility of the sport for the next generation of ath-letes, the minis program is for kids ages � ve to 12 and was started only two years ago with only the Keane’s and a few others. Keane sees it as the next step in the evolution of the Lions.
“It is great to get kids at that age,” Keane said. “I talk to Josh about setting their
sights very high.” More than one player in
recent years has done that, as the Lions have players at a handful of collegiate pro-grams around the West and even one, Aladdin Schirm-er, who made the United States U20 National Team. With rugby 7s joining the Olympic fold in 2016 and collegiate scholarships available at a handful of schools, Keane and Young believe the opportunity for sustainability is there.
Young said many of those who excel at the game have a great deal of athleticism and toughness, but may lack the re� ned skill set or position-speci� c attributes desirable for other team sports. Regardless of where one � ts on his or her other teams, there is a home for everyone on the rugby pitch.
A number of play-ers from the state playo� football teams at Interlake and Bellevue have joined as well, including 2013 senior running back Zakir Butte.
“I always tell people to come out,” Butte said. “� ey have a di� erent perception of it and think it’s all bloody noses and broken bones. But once they come out and see it and play, most people really love it.”
Interlake running back Zakir Butte � elds a ball at a touch rugby practice for the Eastside Lions. Butte is one of several Saints who have taken to rugby and seen the bene� ts on the gridiron. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter
Rain delays and schedul-ing con� icts resulted in a pair of District 9 so� ball teams being disquali� ed from a tournament a� er neither could � eld a team of nine for the title game.
� e tournament, which was delayed two days for rain, included � ve teams playing for one spot at state. A� er winning each of its � rst three games, Eastlake-Sammamish was the only remaining unbeaten and was slated to face a team composed of Bellevue � underbird, Bellevue West and Mercer Island Little Leaguers in the � nals June 29.
But several players from each team were also committed to the National So� ball Association state tournament, which began the same day.
District 9, which made an e� ort before the tourna-ment to ensure players would be able to participate with both organizations (NSA is a separate so� ball entity from Little League International), would not reschedule the champion-ship game and instead ruled that both squads were disquali� ed.
District 9 o� cials de-clined comment and Little League International Vice President of Communica-tions Lance VanAuken said said the idea of a double-forfeit was not practical because, “� ere wouldn’t have been any punishment.”
Walking in to Teatro ZinZanni’s vintage cabaret tent is like stepping in to a private jazz club a-la the roaring ’20s – dimmed lights, velvet curtains, wait sta� dressed in period-perfect duds – all contribute to a vibe that has most convinced they’ve stepped back in time. How appropriate, then, that the theater’s current production, “Gangsters of Love” has you doing just that.
Developed by renowned performers Dreya Weber (Myrna) and Frank Ferrante (Kincaid/Caesar) over the past two years, “Gangsters of Love” keeps with the tradition of Teatro ZinZanni - incorporating an impressive mix of comedy, vaudeville and circus tricks - while bringing to life a fresh tale of love lost and found in 1932.
Set amidst the backdrop of a prohibition-era speakeasy, ZinZanni’s newest show follows the tumultuous romance between cabaret performer Myrna and her former � ame, mob boss Big Sam Kincaid. Playing parallel subplots of mobster tomfoolery, confessions of unrequited love and madcap circus shenanigans, “Gangsters” embodies the glitz and glam of the golden age in a three and a half hour show
made all the more grand by the � ve-course meal that ac-companies the performance.
In true ZinZanni fashion, the plot calls for audience participation that proves key to the success of the show.
On more than one occasion the � amboyantly fun Chef Caesar seeks out unsuspecting members of the crowd to serve as the butt of jokes, which more o� en than not are painfully, yet hilariously, accurate.
But the true scene stealer comes in the form of famed blues vocalist Francine Reed, whose turn as jazz singer extraordi-naire Madame Zanzinni, � nds the audience on their feet dancing to the sultry, prohibition-era tunes. Yes, the dance break is part of the show, but it doesn’t mean Reed’s enchanting rendition of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” couldn’t illicit spontaneity. She’s just that good.
Also of note are gravity-defying performances by aerialists Duo Madrona, comic acrobat Andrea Con-way Doba and Weber - and an impressive tap-dance from vaudevillian Wayne Doba, whose charming take as fumbling waiter Dik Nimby is hard to forget.
Equal parts entertain-ment and experience, “Gangsters” is a hilarious testament to an age when liquor and love trumped all - and a captivating trip to the past you won’t want to miss.
“Gangsters of Love” runs through September 30. For tickets and more informa-tion, go to http://dreams.zin-zanni.org/. Teatro ZinZanni is located at 222 Mercer St., Seattle.

CAN VITAMINS PREVENT CANKER SORES?About 40 percent of the U.S. population will get “canker sores,” which should not be confused with “cold sores” caused by the herpes simplex type 1 virus. Unlike cold sores, which occur primarily outside the mouth, canker sores occur inside the mouth. They are also quite painful and have no apparent cause, although they have been linked to nutritional problems such as vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron de� ciency. These potential triggers led researchers to see if taking a daily multi-vitamin would help prevent the occurrence of this common ailment. However, after one year, it was found that taking a daily multivitamin consisting of 100 percent of the recommended daily intake of essential vitamins had no effect.
Canker sores, which appear as pale yellow ulcerations with a red ring, are not contagious. They can be triggered by stress and typically last ten days without treatment. When was the last time you had a comprehensive dental examination? Good oral healthcare is essential for your overall wellbeing.

Around TownWhat’s happening in Bellevue
and elsewhere
New school chief sworn inDr. J. Tim Mills was sworn in as the
new superintendent of the Bellevue School District on July 3, as part of a school board meeting that also rec-
ognized interim superintendent Eva Collins.
“I want to thank Eva for her excellent communication and her ability to help us move forward in reaching our goals without skipping a beat,” said School Board President Paul Mills, before reciting the oath.
Collins has served as the interim su-perintendent of the school district since former superintendent Amalia Cudeiro resigned in December 2011. She will resume her role as assistant superinten-dent immediately.
BC names vice presidentBellevue College has appointed Yo-
shiko Harden as the new vice president for diversity. Beginning July 9, Harden will lead efforts to promote equity and pluralism on campus by developing programs and providing guidance to campus leaders.
Harden has over a decade of experi-ence as a student affairs practitioner at Highline Community College in Des Moines. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Communications and Women’s Stud-
ies from the University of California, San Diego, and a Master of Education in Student Development Administra-tion from Seattle University.
Incentives for commutersA new program, Downtown Belle-
vue On the Move, offers rewards and travel assistance to downtown residents and workers who try a commute mode other than driving alone.
Incentives for riding the bus, carpool-ing, vanpooling, biking or walking to work, include:
• A $50 Get Started gift card.• Monthly drawings for a $50 gift
card.Sign up at www.DBOnTheMove.org.
520 tolls on scheduleFor the first six months, tolling on
the 520 bridge is working as planned, state officials say. Weekday traffic is free flowing for the first time in decades during the peak commute times, and revenue generated by tolling is ahead of forecasts.
This trajectory puts the state slightly ahead of the finance plan, keeping the Washington State Department of Transportation on track with making the debt payments needed to pay for the bridge construction.
Tolls went up July 1, as planned. The increase in will be the first of four planned 2.5 percent annual rate increases through 2015.
Health fair set for AsiansNikkei Concerns and the Seattle
Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) have recently formed a new partnership and will host a “Living Well” Health Fair Series to support disease state awareness and health and wellness of the Japanese American, Japanese and Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities.
The inaugural event “Living Well
with Diabetes,” will be held in conjunc-tion with the JACL National Conven-tion from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 7 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
Patriotic group to meetThe National Society Children of the
American Revolution (N.S.C.A.R.) will hold its 2012 Western Regional Meeting at the Red Lion Hotel in Bellevue on Friday and Saturday, July 6 and 7.
N.S.C.A.R. is the nation’s oldest, larg-est, patriotic youth organization, and offers membership to anyone under the age of 21 lineally descended from someone who rendered material aid to the cause of American Independence in one of the several Colonies or States.
Students � nish serviceFifty students at Enatai Elementary
celebrated the completion of commu-nity service projects completed over the school year.
� e Enatai Student Leadership group helped the community through projects such as campus clean up, making cards and collecting new crayons for sick youngsters at Children’s Hospital and vis-iting senior citizens at Evergreen Court. Other projects included collecting toys, food and books for foster families and the Bellevue Hopelink food bank.
Burglars take jewelryA burglary occurred in the 2400
block of 79th Avenue of Medina about noon on July 3. The suspect(s) entered the home by breaking a side window by the front door. Jewelry and other items were taken.
The residents were not home at the time of the burglary but their alarm system was armed and Medina Police responded immediately to the resi-dence.
It is the second burglary in the last month where a window was broken out to gain access through the front door.
