� e Bellevue Fire Department responded 86 times to Paul (not his real name), a homeless man wrestling with alcoholism and medical issues, before he successfully transitioned o� the streets. Almost every time, the department would escort him to Overlake Hospital – and the cycle would begin again.
“We’re good at � xing broken arms and things like that,” says Blaine Singleton, the � re department’s EMS Training O� cer. “But there are other things in the environment that we can’t � x by taking someone to the hospital. When somebody makes a frequent call to 9-1-1, the guys on the � re engines take care of the emergent situation and then go back on service and wait for the next call. We don’t get to resolve some of those bigger issues.”
But now a new program launched in September and inspired by a successful model implemented in Spokane, promises some change. Bellevue Fire Citizen Advo-cates for Resources and Education Services, or CARES, hopes to reduce the burden of non-emergency 9-1-1 calls by � ling reports of repeat callers and following up with them a� er the fact. Eight months in, the program is seeing promising results.
“When I talked to � re� ghters, they said [Paul] was tired of it. He wanted something di� erent,” remembers Kathy Barker, Bel-levue’s Fire Education Coordinator who later tracked Paul down. “But it was a cycle he couldn’t break.”
Barker remembers his emotional reply when she � rst o� ered to help.
“He started crying and told me: ‘Nobody has ever looked for me or tried to help me before,’” recalls Barker. “What we’re doing, is we’re changing the paradigm for how to deal with this.”
Paul was placed in a transitional hous-ing unit in Seattle and is now receiving help for his alcoholism and medical issues. � e program hopes to replicate that outcome across the board.
Non-emergency 9-1-1 calls plague police and � re departments in every city. � ey can range from an elderly person who’s fallen and can’t get up, to a resident mis-takenly calling for a prescription re� ll. First responders can o� en do little beyond taking an individual to the hospital, or alleviating the immediate issue. But it’s only a matter of
time before an individual calls again. “If we can put them in line with services
that can help them deal with their daily lives – services they had no clue were out there – well, you’d see how excited these people are,” says Singleton.
Once somebody has been identi� ed as a repeat caller, � re� ghters � ll out a brief report documenting the nature of the call and the potential services an individual would need. Later a member of the CARES team follows up in person, leaving contact information if they can’t immediately connect.
“It becomes a natural piece in which ev-erybody is helping each other,” says Denise Serfas, a graduate student of social work at Eastern Washington University, who is interning with CARES as the program gets o� the ground.
“� e people we’re seeing are the people who have fallen through the cracks,” says Barker. “� ey’re very complicated cases so it takes a lot of tenacity to make sure we can get them in the right direction. And it’s been eye-opening to see what some people in the community are dealing with, the real lack of resources that are available.”
� e bene� ts are far-reaching. Singleton estimates that each response costs the Bel-levue Fire Department $750. � e cost from a repeat caller such as Paul, can be consider-able. � ough there’s no budget for CARES at the moment, the hope is that with time and outreach, it will sustain itself.
“It’s frustrating and scary for people who keep having to call 9-1-1,” says Barker. “When somebody reaches out, proactively to say ‘these are services we’d like to connect you with,’ It’s overwhelming to them.”

LifeWire (formerly Eastside Domestic Violence Program) honored Metropolitan King County Councilmember Jane Hague with the Norm Maleng Award for her ef-forts to prevent domestic violence at the organizations World of Hope Dinner and Auction on May 18. Hague's district in-cludes Bellevue, Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Beaux Arts and Yarrow Point.
LifeWire raised $375,000 at the event to prevent and combat domestic violence.
� e award was given by Judy Maleng, the wife of the late county prosecutor.
“It’s a well-deserved honor,” said Barbara Langdon, LifeWire Executive Director.
“I am humbled receiving from Judy Maleng LifeWire's Norm Maleng Award,” said Hague, the Vice Chair of the County Council. “It is especially poignant to me as Norm Maleng was my mentor, friend, con-� dent and ally. [He] was a tireless advocate for children and youth and exempli� ed exceptional leadership and tireless commit-ment to ending domestic violence.”
LifeWire speaker Maddy Brockert, a senior at Sammamish High School, talked about how her life has been forever changed by domestic violence. In May 2011, her mom was brutally murdered. Maddy turned to LifeWire to learn all she could about domestic violence in order to educate children and teens in our com-munity.
In the past year she has spoken to more than 2,500 local students to raise awareness about domestic violence and to encourage them to leave abusive relationships.
“Each person that I meet that has been impacted by domestic violence makes me believe with deeper conviction that it is the job of every single person to stand up and speak out,” Brockert said. “It’s my job and it’s yours.”
Help with domestic violence is available by calling LifeWire's 24- Hour Help Line at 425-746-1940 or 1-800-827-8840. More information about LifeWire is available at www.lifewire.org.
I don’t mind telling people that I’m helping plan my 2014 high school reunion. It’s only when I say, “It’s our 50th,” that I have a compulsive need to whisper, even if I’m
not in a public place.I know that some people are thrilled at
the idea of spending an evening together with people they haven’t seen since their youth, but until now I’ve been indi� er-ent to reunions. One reason comes from my indi� erence to high school. By senior year I was ready to move on. Another is that I don’t remember many people from high school unless we were also together in elementary school.
I went to college out-of-state and while I was gone my mother tossed out my
yearbooks... without asking. Still, I told myself, I’d em-barked on a new phase in life and I’d be � ne without them.
I’ve been to two of my reunions and � gured those would be enough to satisfy me for the rest of my life. I dragged my husband to my 20th, more to show that I had a husband than for his enjoyment. Even then I didn’t recognize many of my former classmates.
On the 30th, my main recollection was having to stick my nose close to people’s chests to examine the bite-sized gradu-ation photos on their name tags. � e guys were the hardest
to � gure out. At least the women still had hair. Even with the help of the photos I didn’t remember many of the attendees, not surprising in a class of more than 500 students.
However, for the next reunion – the really big one – things are looking up. I loved the � rst planning com-mittee meeting. Our take-charge leader was just what we needed, and I enjoyed getting reacquainted with old grade-school friends. Best of all, come September 2014, I can count on recognizing the seven other committee members.
I’ve been told that at later reunions people have lost all pretense at pretense. � ose who are not rich and/or famous, i.e, almost everyone, have come to terms with who they are. � ey don’t attend reunions to brag or compare biceps and face li� s. Well, maybe face li� s. It’s unlikely they come for the food either. I hope that at ours they come to tell embarrassing stories and make us laugh.
I still look to the future more than the past, but as psychologists will tell you, at some point late in life people look back and review where they’ve been. Maybe a 50th reunion is a good place to start.

There’s an old saying that oil and water don’t mix. � at may be true, but apparently
they coexist quite well.Traveling through Sweetwater
in west Texas, you see an inter-esting mix of irrigated farming, cattle ranching, oil production
and wind energy.
Farmers draw water from wells to irrigate � elds and pro-vide drinking water for people and livestock. Scattered across those same � elds are
traditional oil wells that have been pumping crude since 1921.
Less than 10 miles from Sweet-water is the Roscoe Wind Farm — 627 wind turbines standing in irrigated cotton and hay � elds, wheat � elds, and cattle pastures.
Texans say this shows that clean water, renewable energy and oil production can coexist. It’s a matter of geology. Water wells average about 600 feet deep while tradition-al crude oil is extracted from 2,500 to 8,500 feet beneath the surface.
Fracking occurs even further down.Texas is experiencing a new
oil boom. Oil production has doubled since 2005, and it’s poised to double again by 2020. More than 250,000 Texans work in the oil and gas industry earning an average of $100,000 a year.
In contrast to the Texas oil boom, oil production in Califor-nia is down 21 percent since 2001. � is is not because California is running out of oil. To the con-trary, California has huge o� shore reserves and an estimated 15 billion barrels of shale oil in a de-posit southeast of San Francisco.
But shale oil is recoverable only through hydraulic fracking, and California has banned the practice, despite its 9 percent unemployment rate and heavy debt load.
Compare that with North Da-kota, which enjoys a $1.6 billion surplus and a 3.3 percent jobless rate. So what’s the point?
� anks to new drilling tech-niques and technology, we can now safely recover billions of barrels of oil that were previously out of reach. With our national debt set to pass $17 trillion, energy production is a way to put Americans back to work, fund
essential government programs and chip away at our horrendous national debt.
� e International Energy Agency says the U.S. could become the world’s largest oil producer in the second half of this decade and could be nearly self-su� cient by 2035.
Oil and natural gas account for
1.7 million family-wage jobs and is projected to grow to 3 million by the end of this decade and to 3.5 million by 2035. Shale energy development has already contrib-uted nearly $62 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues and could generate another $2.5 tril-lion by 2035.
� e bottom line is oil and
natural gas wells can safely coexist alongside farming and drinking water supplies. We can have a healthy environment and eco-nomic prosperity if we insist that our government allow exploration and extraction to occur.

day, calls himself the last living artifact of the Eastside’s coal mining days. His small, boxy house near one entrance to Cougar Mountain, is the same building he grew up in, one of only two remaining houses constructed for workers by a coal company.
Outside is a single-room museum circled by rows upon rows of heirlooms Swanson has picked through himself: the school desk he and his mother sat in, lanterns used to descend into the dark mining caves, yellowing photographs and segments of the railway that once transported coal.
“We used to work eight hours, from daylight to daylight,” recalls Swanson, sitting on his living room couch. Across from him, propped against a piano is a time-worn map of the old mining camps of Red Town, atop which his house is located. “When we got out [of the mines] it was dark again.”
Swanson worked alongside his father and cousin, as a machinist for B&R Coal, one of several companies that operated out of the region. Like many of the workers, his relatives were migrants from Sweden. Labor camps were a diverse crowd, comprised of Finnish, Italians, French, Eng-lish, and later included Native Americans, African Ameri-cans and Chinese as the industry called for lower wages. At least 14 di� erent ethnicities populated the camps at one point. At its’ peak in 1917, the Newcastle mines produced over 360,000 tons of coal in a single year. But by the end of the Great Depression, without a war to drive demand and the arrival of cheaper fuel products onto the market, most big coal companies had pulled out.
“I like to tell people, think of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War as being the start of the coal mining days,” explains Williams, “and the Space Needle in 1963 as being the end of it.”
Coal towns were microcosms of life. Red Town, where
Swanson still lives, featured a hotel, post o� ce and more than 1,000 people at its peak. Children attended the com-pany school, and on weekends rivaling companies played each other in soccer and baseball. When work was tight or the weather didn’t permit, men toggled between jobs, sometimes leaving the mines for the logging industry.
“� ere were people who…were for half a day in the mine,” remembers Swanson. “Soon as they got out, they wanted to quit.”
At one point the mines of the Eastside stretched from Renton to Bellevue and east to North Bend, though the excavated coal was di� erent from anywhere else in the U.S. and Europe. Workers were forever at odds with the wet climate. Groundwater o� en had to be pumped out of the mines and even the best product was so� er than most.
Still, folks like Swanson and Williams maintain that the industry made the Eastside what it is today. Many of the area’s hills are actually coal tailings; the land is hon-eycombed with empty mine sha� s; and one reason the course at Newcastle Golf Club isn’t developed as housing is because it sits atop a bulldozed strip mine.
How the Eastside preserves that history remains to be seen. Seven new interpretative signs are expected for Coal Creek Park, spotlighting for instance the concrete founda-tion of an old steam generating plant. Newcastle Cemetery, once maintained by Swanson, has also been labeled a pres-ervation project. As for his museum, the city of Newcastle has discussed � nding a more formal space for Swanson’s artifacts. No plans have been made.
“� ese are remnants of old Newcastle,” says Williams. “But modern development is coming in real fast.”
When the mines closed in 1962, Swanson le� for a job at Boeing. Businesses pulled out, and most workers abandoned their company homes. Swanson said he never thought of leaving.
“I’m happy here,” he says, glancing around the room. For a moment, he seems lost in his memories.
“For 91 years, I’ve lived in this house.”

Delivery routes and carriers have been reduced and in April, USPS announced plans to keep Saturday delivery a� er much talk of eliminat-ing it.
In 2009 USPS announced plans to sell its Midlakes location. With dropping revenues and less need for space, plans were launched to � nd a storefront for operations and to
consolidate other services. Its value at the time, was assessed at $8.8 million.
Both branches draw considerable crowds, though the Main o� ce has been criticized for its run-down ap-pearance. Services will carry over at the new location with postage for sale, the ability to mail items and boxes for rent.

Bellevue students go silent for World VisionBY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER
When the teacher’s and administrators at Eastside Christian brought the entire sixth grade class to We Day at the Key Arena in Seattle this spring, they knew they were get-ting involved with something special. �is was a day meant to celebrate the achieve-ments of young people who had made it their mission to help others in their own community and around the world. What they didn’t necessarily know is that they’d come home with a group of students ready to take action - immediately.
“�ey were inspired 100 percent by We Day and the Free the Children organiza-tion,” said Dalia Ibrahim, a teacher at East-side Christian who has been working with a group of sixth grade girls who’ve deemed themselves the “Skipping Stones.”
Formed shortly a�er the We Day event, the group of 12 has taken it upon them-selves to combat the spread of child tra�ck-ing around the world. �e name “Skipping Stones” came about for two reasons: the round stone reprensents the entire group working together as a team; and the ripple the stone makes represents the wave of change they hope to jump start.
“Before we went to We Day, a represen-tative from Free �e Children came and spoke at our school. And they told us about their We Are Silent campaign,” said Heldana Daniel.
“We decided to make it a 30 Hours of
Silence because World Vision was having a 30 Hour Famine, and we were donating the money to World Vision.”
Other organizations they considered were Free the Children and a missionary based in Africa which the school has worked with previously.
�ey voted to go with World Vision because they felt the organization was good
at using the money to help those trying to escape child tra�cking in a variety of ways: providing them with food, clothing and water.
“We’re all really passionate about our Christianity and so we wanted to go to a company that would help us donate it [while keeping that in mind],” Heldana said.
�e girls said they also decided to do the
30 Hours of Silence because they felt it was something a large number of students could get involved in without taking away too much time in the classroom.
“It was easy to do and easy to organize,” said Briana Goedhard.
�e girls said they organized the event with only a small amount of help from their mentors; some made posters, some made donor forms and they all contributed to raising the money. While their original goal was $1,000, they moved it back to $500 because they didn’t think they would raise that much.
“We thought, because it was our �rst time, $1,000 might be a little hard to reach,” said Clara Anne Liu.
In all, seven classrooms at Eastside Christian participated in the event, which took place April 25 and 26. At the end, they had raised $5,635.00 - a result that le� them surprised, shocked and thankful.
�e group will make the donation when they visit the World Vision facility in Federal Way next week. During their visit they’ll go on a tour and be told how the money they donated will be spent.
But the spark instilled in them at We Day has just begun. For their next project, the group plans to do a sock drive for the Seattle Union Gospel Mission, which gives away more than 35,000 pairs of socks a year to homeless people in King County.

It’s lunch rush at the Liebchen Delicatessen, a German deli in the Overlake neighborhood.
“In the last few days we’ve had regulars but also quite a steady stream of new customers,” says co-owner Siobhan Donohue, pausing as the crowd tapers o� .
Liebchen only recently reopened a� er a move from the Lake Hills Shopping Center, but a procession of custom-ers, � les in, picking through the shelves and ordering without once needing to glance at the menu.
“No matter how much everybody else moved, the deli was still there,” said Donohue.
Liebchen Delicatessen has been serving the Eastside for 41 years. Opened in 1971 by Lynne Rosenthal, the company built a loyal customer base in the Lake Hills neighborhood, serving European goods. � e shelves are packed with everything from candies to pastries, spreads and crockery items. Encircling the front counter are cases of sausages, � ne cheeses and pickled herring. Goulash, the soup of the day has already sold out and in the back, a batch of black bottom cupcakes cools.
“When I was a kid it was all American [businesses],” remembers Donohue of the city’s changing neighborhood and customer base. “But more recently [there] are all kinds of Asian foods and Persian grocers…� e Lake Hills neighborhood has a big German neighborhood. A lot of the people that lived next to the deli were from the old
country and would come and chat for hours.”Donohue can remember visiting as a child a� er relo-
cating to the Eastside from Seattle. Her mother, Maria, quickly forged a friendship with Rosenthal and as a teen-ager Donohue began working for the neighborhood deli. When Rosenthal retired in 2010 — the mother-daughter pair took over operations.
“I know everybody’s kids and grandparents. One of the customers just had cataract surgery and I asked how she was doing,” says Donohue, recounting stories of regulars. “It’s very much a community. People get chatting with each other, sit down and have a cup of tea or co� ee and linger.”
In winter of 2012 sta� were informed they would have to vacate their home of 41 years as the demolition of the Lake Hills Shopping Center moved ahead. Scrambling but determined to keep their deli in business, Donohue and her mother looked to the Overlake neighborhood.
Donohue began making a list of the deli’s customers to inform them of the move. So beloved was the business, that she quickly found herself writing 500 plus postcards.
Donohue says she already feels they’re growing into the new space.
“We all helped build it,” she says, “Ripped up the car-pet, painted the walls, helped lay tiles and so it feels like home.”
German deli serves heart, communitySiobhan Donohue, co-owner of the 41 year old Liebchen Delicatessen, pauses after lunch rush at their new location in the Overlake neighborhood. The German deli was formerly located in the Lake Hills Shopping Center. CELINA KAREIVA, Bellevue Reporter

A measure to reauthorize the EMS/Medic One system has been sent to the Metro King County Council for inclusion on the November ballot.
�e proposal, transmitted by King County Executive Dow Constantine, would reauthorize funding, with voter approval, for the next six years.
�e continued funding would sustain the regional system of 30 �re departments, six paramedic agencies, �ve EMS dispatch centers and 20 hospitals that deliver life-saving services throughout the region, regardless of location, day of the week or time of day. �e system is recognized as one of the best in the country, and is acclaimed for its patient outcomes, including a nation-high 52 percent survival rate for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Most survival rates in the nation hover around 10 percent.
Developed collaboratively with regional partners, and endorsed by the EMS Advisory Task Force, the levy rate proposal for the 2014-2019 levy period is 33.5 cents per
$1,000 assessed value, or about $167.50 for the owner of a home assessed at $500,000.
Speci�cally, the 33.5-cent levy rate will:Maintain the existing number of medic units and not
add any new units over the span of the next levy period;Fully fund eligible Advanced Life Support (referred to
as ALS or paramedic) costs;Continue the contribution to support Basic Life Sup-
port (referred to as BLS or “�rst responders”); andContinue programs that provide support to the system. Transmittal of the EMS/Medic One levy rate is one
important step in the process of getting a ballot measure before voters for the November 2013 general election.
�e next step is for the county council to consider and approve a levy rate along with the 2014-2019 King County EMS Strategic Plan, which outlines how levy dol-lars will be spent.
In addition, state law requires that all cities with a pop-ulation of over 50,000 approve sending the levy package
to voters. Cities that have already approved the levy for the ballot include Bellevue, Kent, Federal Way, Renton, Redmond and Shoreline.
Regional partners who support the levy proposal include the EMS Advisory Task Force, comprised of 19 leaders and decision makers from throughout the region, including representatives from larger and small cities and �re agencies; the King County Fire Chiefs Associa-tion; the King County Police Chief Association; the King County Public Safety Answering Point Association; the King County Board of Health; the Central Region EMS and Trauma Council; and King County Medical Program Directors.
EMS/Medic One funding to be included on November ballot
Bainbridge Island police o�cers have arrested a Renton man for a multi-county spree of liquor the�s that may solve cases in Newcastle.
Michael Alofa Siva, 25, was arrested at the Bain-bridge Island Ferry Termi-nal a�er he allegedly stole bottles of liquor from the Safeway on High School Road. Employees at the grocery store and secu-rity cameras at Safeway observed Siva stealing the liquor on the a�ernoon of Sunday, May 19.
He was arrested and booked into the Kitsap County Jail on $10,000 bail for a felony charge of second-degree organized retail the�.
Bainbridge police said Siva targeted certain stores.
“He goes to Safeways in rural areas because the security isn’t as high.”
Weiss said that Siva confessed to the the�s a�er his arrest.
Siva also allegedly hit
the Safeways because they commonly stock brands he preferred to steal, such as Ciroc vodka, Grey Goose vodka and Remy Martin cognac.
Siva would either sell the liquor or trade it to support his drug addic-tion, Weiss said.
“�e reason he does this is because of an addiction to OxyContin,” Weiss said. “He said he uses about 10 to 15 pills a day.”
OxyContin is a pre-scription opiate.
He allegedly stole from the Woodinville and New-castle Safeways as many as four times.
Siva allegedly stole ap-proximately $126 worth of
liquor on May 8, and $320 in spirits on May 19.
Police said the liquor the�s from across the region amount to more than $4,200 worth of liquor that was taken from multiple Safeways.
“�e Safeway loss pre-vention people were very excited because he was on their own most wanted list,” Weiss said.
Weiss noted that Siva was previously arrested this year a�er stealing liquor from a Seattle Safeway.
�e incident led to Siva signing a no-trespass or-
der prohibiting him from entering any Safeway for a year.
Because Siva repeated his the�s at multiple Safe-ways, a charge of burglary could be added to his case, Weiss said.
Camera footage also allegedly shows Siva work-ing with up to two other suspects at various stores.
Siva admitted to police that another person was involved in the crimes, but refused to name them, ac-cording to a police report.

Jason Cummings earned his Eagle Scout award May 18 by building 12 wooden benches at Kindering in Bellevue. It was a special e� ort in more ways than one.
Cummings, now a junior at Interlake High School, received help from Kindering early in his life when he was not thriving.
As a toddler, Cummings was diagnosed with idiopathic infantile spasms (IS) and needed physical/occupational therapy and speech and language therapies. � e condi-tion causes cryptogenic seizures – and the onset when he was 7 months old caused regression to occur. A� er an onset of a large cluster of seizures, and a four-day stay at Evergreen Medical Center, Cummings began to undergo 10 weeks of ACTH treat-ment for the infantile spasms.
When he began therapy in April 1997, Cummings could sit up, but could put no weight on hands or arms, and could not roll over. Working with Elda Harada over the course of a summer, Cummings was able to crawl at 13 months and was walking at 16 months. Physical therapy continued into the fall and in six months’ time, he’d made 12 months’ worth of progress.
By 22 months, Cummings no longer needed physical therapy.
Cummings also received speech therapy at Kindering and was enrolled in a play-group facilitated by early intervention sta� .
“If it wasn’t for Kindering, Jason wouldn’t be working toward becoming an Eagle Scout,” said Cumming’s mom, Marie.
“We’re very proud of his accomplishments – including becoming a competitive swim-mer specializing in the challenging 200- and 500-yard freestyle events, taking AP classes in U.S. History and Environmental Science, as well as two years of Chinese language.”
Kindering began in 1962 when � ve Eastside mothers established the program for children with special needs. In 2012, Kindering helped more than 3,300 children and their families.
More information about Kindering is available by calling Joe Cunningham at 425-653-4321, email [email protected], or visit its website at kinder-ing.org.

Today approximately 18 million, or 1 in 15 Americans experience Sleep Apnea, a sleep disorder involving the airway that disrupts a person’s sleep o� en leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, overall poor health, and in some cases, even death. According to Dr. Je� ery Doneskey, Oral Medicine Specialist and founder of � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center in Bellevue, therapy for the disorder can be di� cult.
“� e most common treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) involves the use of a medical breathing device called a CPAP, “ said Doneskey. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, delivers air through a mask worn over the nose during sleep in order to help maintain an open airway.
While CPAP can provide an e� ective solution, Doneskey reports that there are signi� cant reasons why some people are unwilling or unable to use CPAP. “For example, restless sleepers o� en report having di� culty with getting comfortable and keeping
the mask on during the night. Others may have trouble keeping a seal around the mask and must use head straps to keep their mouth closed while asleep,” said Doneskey. According to Doneskey, patients also express lifestyle concerns such as the inconvenience of taking CPAP along when they travel or go on vacation.
At � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center, Doneskey reports high levels of patient satisfaction, compliance and success with a new oral appliance called “� e SilentPartner™, a jaw-friendly FDA approved oral airway dilator that Doneskey himself helped develop. According to Doneskey, � e SilentPartner is a comfortable, fully adjustable mouth appliance that allows the jaw to be safely placed in the optimum position to keep the airway open.
In addition to keeping the airway open, � e SilentPartner eliminates snoring in most patients while protecting the teeth of patients who clench during
their sleep. � is appliance is so well received that according to Doneskey, more than 90 percent of his patients over the last 5 years are able to use � e Silent-Partner on a full time basis.

Le made it to the third place match in his � nal prep season, winning his � rst two matches to reach the semi-� nals before fall-ing to � orp and then Hou.
Newport repeated as the team champs on the boys side in 4A with Dylan Harlow and Matt Sham winning the title over team-mates David An and Alex Namba.
Harlow and Sham won a pair of straight set matches on the � rst day of play before
dropping the � rst set of their semi-� nal match with Richland’s Travis Zuroske and Zach Fisher.
An and Namba won their � rst match 2-0 before losing the � rst set in the quarter� -nals.
But it was Harlow and Sham who had the � nal salvo, as they came back to win a pair of sets in the semi-� nals and defeated An and Namba in straight sets to win the 4A boys doubles title.
Angela Chen entered the state tourna-ment perfect on the season and had yet to even lose a set a� er winning the girls 4A doubles title last year.
Chen remained � awless through the � rst day of this year’s singles tournament before losing her � rst set in the semi-� nals and dropping a 2-1 match to Skyview’s Sammi Hampton in the state title match.
Chen beat Sydney Wallace of Union and Megan Hagerty of Graham-Kapowsin 2-0 on the � rst day before surviving a three set match with Union’s Jelena Vidovic and fall-ing to Hampton in the � nals.
Interlake’s Isabelle Long lost her � rst match of the 3A girls singles tournament 2-0 before rebounding to win three straight matches and capture a � � h place trophy.

BY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER
� e Grinch. � e Cat in the Hat. Horton. For most, these names are among the most recognized
in American literature. For even more, these characters - made famous by � eodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel - de� ne the simplicity that comes with growing up. And for pretty much every one in between, they mean on thing: happi-ness.
It's for this reason, and a few others, "� e Art of Dr. Seuss – Rare Editions," on display now at the Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery in downtown Bellevue, is such a departure.
Sure, it features some of our favorite Seuss characters - including all of those mentioned above - as well as all the joy and wonder and amusement we've come to expect. But the real draw of the exhibit, the items you'll leave the gallery remembering most, are the rare, slightly darker works from Geisel's personal art collection. � is week-end marks the last opportunity Eastsiders will have to view them - before they head to galleries in Oregon next week.
� e only authorized dealer of the Art of Dr. Seuss in Washington, Nordstrom decided to bring the rare collections exhibit to the gallery because he saw it as a great opportunity for collectors to view a variety of Geisel's work in one place. He says he also saw the draw in featuring an exhibit that people of backgrounds could appreciate.
Featuring 22 pieces, most of which have not been
previously seen by the public, "� e Art of Dr. Seuss – Rare Editions" exhibit o� ers an extraor-dinary look into the artistic life of Geisel: now-rare editions of his midnight series, his Secret Art and his Unorthodox Taxidermy Sculp-ture Collection. It's in this collec-tion you'll see - likely for the � rst time - prints like "Tower of Babel" or a 3D imagining of the "Andoluvian Grackler."
� ey’re sure to wow and amaze you and leave you wanting more. And, of course, they'll make you smile.
"� e Art of Dr. Seuss – Rare Editions" exhibit is on dis-play through Sunday, June 2, at the Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery, 800 Bellevue Way NE #111.
Dr. Seuss exhibit closes Sunday
This sculpture, modeled after the character from Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham” is on display at Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery through this weekend. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter
