A man in his mid-40s is in custody after leading police on a high-speed chase reaching speeds of 73 mph while allegedly intoxicated Monday morning.

In a rapidly expanding downtown construction corridor, Bellevue residents are starting to feel the squeeze. Excavation work on several major projects is causing traffic congestion now, and the city cautions more development is coming.
“This is just going to be part of the land-scape for a couple of years or three,” said Tresa Berg, a spokeswoman for the city’s transportation department.
What the city wants is for motorists and pedestrians to be cautious and informed about the latest development impacts to traffic, Berg said, and to know how to safely navigate them.
“We know a bicyclist ... got hit from the back of a truck and we just know that pedestrians should be careful since there’s so many trucks making the rounds,” Berg said of an incident that occurred several weeks ago.
There are currently right lane closures eastbound on Northeast 10th Street at Bellevue Way and 106th and 112th avenues northeast. Those are being used by dump trucks transporting excavated earth from development sites, such as Kemper Devel-opment’s Lincoln Square 2, which also has closed the right lane near on Bellevue Way for excavation work.
Construction crews are allowed to work 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday during these earth hauling trips, with some excep-
tions on Saturdays. Berg said the city is also allowing for hauling on Sundays to speed up the process.
“We’ve got a holiday moratorium,” she said. “We may allow some lane closures depending on the situation that they pres-ent us.”
Bellevue Way will close to northbound traffic between Northeast Fourth and Sixth streets 7 p.m. today to 9 p.m. Sunday for the erection of cranes at the Lincoln Square
2 site, with a possible one-lane reduction southbound.
The northbound lane of 106th Avenue Northeast will close 9 a.m. Saturday be-tween Northeast Second and Fourth streets until 6 p.m. Sunday for a crane erection at the Soma II project, which is slated to start construction after Christmas.
Berg said the Development Services Department tries to balance projects to minimize impacts, but once a permit is issued the city can’t stop a developer from starting construction. Bellevue at Main and The Gateway project both started the permitting process at about the same time, and now are under construction adjacent to each other.
“We want the economy to continue to do well,” she said. “It is another particularly busy time at the moment.”
Developers are required to submit park-ing plans for employees, some opting to rent space from private lots. Berg said some residents have complained of people park-ing near construction sites to bring lunch to workers, but the city can’t enforce use of those spaces if they are within the posted time limits.
Developers taking up city right-of-way space are charged a lease fee, the largest being Kemper Development for its use of Bellevue Way and Northeast Fourth and Sixth streets right of way space at more than $40,000 per month.

Overlake Medical Center will not be acquiring Sno-qualmie Valley Hospital as discussed earlier this year, according to a joint statement released on Nov. 7.
Overlake, a private nonprofit hospital system based in Bellevue, began discussions late in 2013, communicating under a confidentiality agreement, with the King County Public Hospital District No. 4 to acquire the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital and its clinics as an affiliate.
In July, District No. 4’s hospital board authorized formal
negotiations, as reported by the Snoqualmie Valley Re-cord.
But it would seem those negotiations did not bear fruit, according to the Nov. 7 joint statement. The statement read that “leaders of both organizations mutually decided to remain independent but closely aligned and to continue collaborative efforts to serve the healthcare needs of the Snoqualmie Valley and surrounding communities.”
Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District CEO Rodger McCollum suggested the organizations could continue discussions on collaborations in the future.
The District began work on a new hospital in September 2013. Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, initially scheduled to open this fall, is now expected to open in early 2015.

At least two people were arrested Tuesday night, but it’s still unclear what events led up to a “swarm” of po-lice converging on a driver’s vehicle.
According to eyewit-nesses, at about 5:15 p.m., a vehicle, later revealed to be a Kia Sorento, turned from Richards Roads onto Southeast 30th. A police vehicle flashed its lights and blared its siren twice causing the driver of the
vehicle to pull over.“They came out of no-
where,” said Seokkyun “Se” Hong, who was working in a building adjacent to the scene.
When Se said he saw “several” police officers approach the vehicle with their weapons drawn, he jumped behind the counter in fear of shots being fired and watched the rest of the incident on his security cameras.
“I’ve had a gun drawn on me before,” he told the Reporter. “Years ago while
I was living in Dallas, someone pulled a gun and pointed it directly at my
head. So I ducked behind the counter.”
The officers, with guns
drawn, yelled out to the driver and passenger to put their hands out the windows of the vehicle and then to get out and onto the ground.
It’s unclear at this time what the suspects had allegedly done or how the coordinated arrests were made.
Bellevue Police officer and department spokesman Seth Tyler said the inves-tigation is ongoing and no information was available
about the arrests or poten-tial ensuing charges.
Traffic was closed and then limited for roughly 20 minutes as officers investi-gated the scene.
A dog was inside the suspect’s vehicle but didn’t appear to be part of the investigation as an officer at the scene told the Re-porter it would be given to one of the suspects’ family members or handed over to a local shelter.

Family caregivers need state supportAs a Washington State Council on Aging member, I
send this letter because November is National Family Caregivers Month. Each year, more of us are caring for a loved one with a chronic condition, disability or simply the frailties of old age.
Over 850,000 Washington citizens are unpaid family caregivers, providing 80 percent of the services that allow family members to remain at home as long as possible. Recent state agency data reports the uncompensated caregiving is estimated to be valued at $10.6 billion. Care-giving is a very human concern and a � nancial one as well. � ese unpaid caregivers lose about $300,000 in sal-ary & bene� ts in their lifetime having minimal � nancial resources to begin with.
Washington State has a Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) but it currently only serves less than 1% of the 850,000 family caregivers in our state. Recent re-
search � ndings report some good news though: the FCSP improves outcomes for caregivers — 84 percent of the participants showed signi� cant improvements and were slower to transition to more costly Medicaid services.
Serving more family caregivers would be a great investment for our state. Our legislators and the governor should support expansion of FCSP. � ese caregivers need our support.

State proverty growing, not shrinkingNew data from the latest release of the US Census

A s Bellevue's local news source, our mission is to educate, inform and enlighten, and to strive to be the voice of and for the community.
Every day our goal is to tell the stories that matter to Bel-levue, and to provide insight into what’s a� ecting our diverse and evolving city and the people who live and work here.
Part of that mission also means expanding lines of communication within our community — with our readers, business leaders, community leaders, local o� cials, city o� cials, politicians, partners and sta� . When times are good and there’s positive news, we want to be the � rst ones to hear about and share it with the com-munity. It’s equally true when the news isn’t so positive, or when we report on
a tragedy or loss with sensitivity.In this busy, ever -changing world, it’s also paramount
that the Bellevue Reporter gets the news to you as fast as possible. But accuracy, fairness and balance will always trump speed.
Around the state there are still votes to be counted and races to be decided, but here
are a few takeaways from Tuesday’s election.
� e Rs are in charge: Almost. Republicans are feeling good, as they should be. � eir party gained a seat in the state Senate to cement control of that chamber. And if late-arriving ballots break the GOP direction, the party could pick up enough seats in the House to trim Democrats’ advan-tage to as little as 51-47.
Big winner: Environmentalists painted conservative state Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, as the antichrist of climate change, but he emerged the antihero of the election. He won convincingly as voters ignored his zeal for dining on lobbyists’ dime and embraced his zen for shunting the
attacks of well-funded critics.Big loser – it’s a tie: � e state’s
largest teachers union and one of the loudest voices for environ-mentalists had poor showings, the kind that can lead to hiring new political advisors.
� e Washington Education Association invested a small fortune on Initiative 1351 to reduce class sizes. It could pass — it trailed Tuesday, but there are lots of votes to tally in King County, where it is winning — though lawmakers would likely suspend it in 2015 due to its high cost.
And they would act without much fear of political retribution because the WEA demonstrated little clout in a� ecting the outcome of legislative races this year, even those involv-
ing its members. Democrats Mike Wilson of Everett and Rep. Monica Stonier of Vancouver were losing
Wednesday, in spite of sizable sums of aid from their union.
Meanwhile, the Wash-ington Conservation Voters expended more than a million dollars to make the � ght against climate change an election issue, to no avail. Most of its dough came from billionaire Tom Steyer
of California for the fruitless battle against Ericksen. � e group paid for three polls this year, the last on Oct. 10. One can only wonder what enviros learned as Steyer gave them

“deep poverty.” Deep poverty is de�ned as 50 percent or less of the poverty level. Between 2007 and 2013, the rate of deep poverty among low-income Washingtonians (125 percent of poverty level) grew by a startling 35.7 percent while the state’s overall population grew by 7.8 percent
In real numbers, there are now 114,298 more people in our state living at the deep poverty level of around $9,800 in wages or below for a family of three than there were in 2007. �at’s a lot of families in our state, and it certainly includes a lot of families who work and live in Bellevue.
We have a growing hospitality and entertainment scene in Bellevue, not to mention all of the support work in high tech, employing thousands of low-wage service workers. Many workers live in crowded apartments in the Northeast/Southeast corridor of Bellevue where I live.
�e bottom line is that poverty is not only broadening here, it is also getting deeper. We have a real chance here in Bellevue to improve standards for all of the hard work-ers in Bellevue who contribute to the success of our city.
Doing so should be in every growing business’ interest in Bellevue. It is in the interest of forward-thinking new
development as we continue to develop Bellevue’s unique identity in the region. It would hurt all of our growth to continue to price the workers — who actually make things run our booming economy - out of our city. It is time to raise the minimum wage in Bellevue - for our city’s future.

City Hall taking side of buildersProgress is good and citizens should expect to ac-
commodate new building. However there are limits and it appears that Bellevue City Hall is taking the side of builders over its citizens.
�ere has always been a shortage of parking on North E. 1st Ave. near Bellevue Way.
�ere is a good drycleaner and two very popular restaurants. Bellevue has decided it is more important to allow construction vehicles to sit idle in parking spaces then to allow Bellevue citizens to patronize existing city businesses.
Likewise, city hall closes o� a lane on Northeast 10th at 116th to ease construction tra�c turning right. Citi-zens just need to accept gridlock rather than have the construction companies pay for a �agger. City Hall is out of touch and the citizens are inconvenienced.

$500,000 that same day.Billionaire agents of change:
�ey’ve funded initiatives to expand background checks on gun sales, le-galize charter schools and marijuana, and preserve gay marriage. What’s next for the Ballmers, Gates, Bezoses, Hanauers, Allens and even Michael Bloomberg? Will it be a higher mini-mum wage, paid family leave, a tax on sugary drinks or a new source of
school funding? Given Steyer’s experi-ence, it probably won’t be tackling climate change through such ideas as cap-and-trade.
Pedro predicted it: A warning sign that Republican Pedro Celis was in deep trouble against Democratic U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene came from Celis himself six weeks before the election. �at’s when his campaign released results of a poll showing only 47 per-cent of Republicans surveyed knew Celis, and of those only three of four planned to vote for him.
Next up, 2016: Republican state
Sen. Andy Hill endured a grueling re-election �ght and now is on the short list of possible opponents to Gov. Jay Inslee in two years. Already, there are Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert and Port of Seattle Commis-sioner Bill Bryant. Meanwhile, Er-icksen might parlay his performance into a run against DelBene, who lost to Celis in the Whatcom County portion of the congressional district.
It might seem soon for speculating, but the end of every election cycle marks the beginning of a new one. �at’s a takeaway you can count on.
�e Bellevue Reporter wants to do an even better job. We also want to know what we should be cover-ing that we haven’t yet. What have we covered that you’ve enjoyed? Where can we make a bigger impact in the community? Who or what is something we should pro�le, investigate or explore?
Over the course of the next several months we’ll be rolling out new features, both online and in print. We’re also compiling lists of topics that examine the health, politics, crime, edu-cation, arts and businesses of the area. Articles that go beyond just the who, what, where, when and why, and truly dive into the story being told.
But it is a two- way street. For the Bellevue Reporter to truly be the community’s news source, we need to hear from you. Our readers are the extra eyes, ears and noses in the community and o�en they provide tips, knowledge or background critical to a story. As we shape the next chapter of the Bellevue Reporter, we
want our readers to be a part of how we create it.
We’ve also begun developing outlines for a community advisory board. Ideally members would meet once a month for an hour or so and discuss what’s going on in the area along with what’s coming up ahead.
We would share what we’re working on and our advisory board partners could bring ideas to the table for future issues or discuss something already written. Let us know who you think should join us on it. We also want to know your thoughts and ideas about any topic you think is newsworthy. Write us a letter to the editor, send us an e mail, post on our Face-book page, give us a Tweet, give us a call or send us a carrier pigeon. We like tell-ing the story of Bellevue, and we want to hear and to learn from you!

Responding to residents upset by the number of rambler teardowns in the Northtowne neighborhood being replaced by large, multimillion-dollar homes, Bellevue Mayor Claudia Bal-ducci on Monday called for increased study and outreach ahead of subarea planning next year.
Monday was the second night in as many weeks that members of the Northtowne Neighborhood Associa-tion told councilmembers they are worried how these larger develop-ments are affecting the integrity of their neighborhood and exacerbating traffic issues there.
“It’s a trend that you actually do see during an up-cycle in the development cycle,” Balducci said Monday.
One club member on its steering committee told the Reporter Tues-day the group reenergized in 2013 to address speeding drivers on Bellevue Way, but then teardowns began occur-
ring, now at around 44 over the past 18 months. Members of the associa-tion are also upset that much of the new developments are speculative homes that sit vacant for months.
Balducci said she’s interested in ex-ploring ideas presented by the neigh-borhood association about amending rules for what types of homes can be built in Northtowne, such as a pro-posal to short plat some properties to allow more cottage-style homes to be built on a smaller footprint.
“They took an interest. They asked for it to go forward to staff for inves-tigation,” said Janet Jelleff with the association. “We’ve been asking for this for a while and I think this was a major breakthrough for us.”
Jelleff said Northtowne residents don’t oppose tearing down aging homes, but want their replacements to be more in scale to those that already exist. She said demand for property
in her neighborhood is so high, she and other neighbors are frequently solicited by investors wanting to buy their homes.
Councilmember John Stokes noted other neighborhoods in Bellevue might not prefer the city imposing smaller lot sizes, but Balducci said spe-cialized policies have been implement-ed before, such as more stringent tree restrictions in Bridle Trails that do not exist throughout the rest of the city.
Stokes said he favors a comprehen-sive analysis of all Bellevue neighbor-hoods, not simply putting those at the top of the city’s priority list based on the number of complaints received. Part of that will involve renewed visions for each neighborhood that would guide regulations for building heights and setbacks in the future.
The city of Bellevue will open its Eastside Winter Shelter for homeless men at the International Paper site starting Saturday, Nov. 15. Catholic Community Services will open its women’s shelter at the St Peter’s United Methodist Church in Bellevue that same day through January, when it moves to the Redmond United Meth-odist Church. The men’s shelter is expected to provide shelter through March. The International Paper site is at 1899 120th Ave. N.E., and homeless men will be able to use the site 8 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.
The shelters are also seeking community donations to provide meals. More information about the meal pro-gram can be found at www.tinyurl.com/lt7dg9r.
For more information about the Eastside winter shelters, contact Congregations for the Homeless at 425-372-7252 or [email protected]; or Catholic Com-munity Services at 206-437-7448 or [email protected].

Group raising funds to buy sleeping bags for King County homeless
About 3,100 homeless in King County will sleep on the streets as the colder, wetter winter months roll through the need for warm, dry comfort is greater than ever.
When Interlake High School senior Lily Zhuo heard about a new nonprofit group, Sleepless in Seattle, working to provide sleeping bags for all of the home-less through a crowdsourcing campaign, she joined immediately.
The group is hoping to raise $75,000 by Thanksgiving, she said. As of Tuesday afternoon they had reached 41 percent of the goal with $20,700 donated.
An anonymous donor also agreed to a $25,000 one-for-one matching gift. Each $20 donation will now provide two sleeping bags instead of just one, according to the group’s website.
If the group meets its goal, 200 volunteers are ready to distribute the sleeping bags on Saturday, Dec. 13, at Serve Seattle.

Tom Moran and his wife Val Cole love Pearl Jam so much that when the Bel-levue couple got married a couple years ago the bride walked down the aisle to the band’s hit “Just Breathe.”
So when the opportunity arose to bid on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Pearl Jam’s front man Eddie Vedder at an intimate solo show in Bellevue late last month and sit on stage with him for a song. They hit the auction hard, bidding and bidding hoping for the chance to have Eddie play “their song” to them. When they found out where the money was going they raised their bid even higher.
A few months ago Eddie and his wife Jill became founder members of the largest nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for Epi-dermolysis Bullosa (EB), a
devastating, life-threatening genetic skin disorder, which causes children to break out in skin blisters and erosions all over their bodies.
“My wife Jill and I are thrilled to be able to sup-
port the brilliant work of leading doctors and researchers committed to identifying better treat-ments, and ultimately a cure for this cruel disease,” Eddie said. “Our close fam-
ily friends have a young son with EB and we want to do everything we can to ensure a better quality of life for him and all children living

Lauren Potter has a simple message for everyone, “be ex-ception.” As one of the stars of the hit TV show “Glee,” Potter plays Becky Jackson, the spunky student with special needs.
But it certainly wasn’t an easy path for Potter who was consistently told what she couldn’t be or do, it drove her to work harder. Barriers put in front of her fueled her to show what she was capable of.
Like her character on the show, Potter wants to encourage everyone to not take life for granted and not be discouraged when facing adversity.
Potter said she wants to use her public voice that “Glee” gave her to speak our for other people with disabilities who may not have the same opportunities.
This weekend, as part of her “Living a Glee-ful life” tour, Potter will share her story of perseverance. The event, spon-sored by ParentMap will be held at Bellevue College’s Student Union Building Cafeteria on Nov. 15, starting at 2 p.m.
A resource fair for special needs families will be followed by speakers Steven Ferreira, a Bellevue College alum who was born with cerebral palsy, and Ben Wahl, founder of Ryther’s Aspiring Youth Program, which serves young people with Autism, ADHD and other neurological differences.
Ferreira, was born in Taipei Taiwan in 1988, but at 15 decided he wanted to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities. Since then he’s spoke more than 150 times at regional high schools about what it’s like to live with a disability. In 2011, he founded Beyond Disabilities, a non-profit designed to spread further awareness of people with disabilities.
Potter is scheduled to present the event’s keynote address followed by a question and answer session with audience
members. Individual tickets are on sale now for $10 or $20 for a family ticket. For more information visit www.parent map.com or www.bellevuecollege.edu.

with these types of genetic disorders.”
Both Tom and his wife have lost loved ones to genetic disorders and some of their friends are currently suffering from EB. It was a no brainer to donate as much as they could, he said.
In October, the newly merged group, EB Re-search Partnership, a joint collaboration between the Vedders, the Jackson Gabriel Silver Foundation and Heal EB, joined forces with Microsoft’s Employee Giving Campaign in an ef-fort to raise $5 million for research.
As part of the fundrais-ing effort, Vedder played a solo show at Microsoft Production Studios in front of 90 donors, includ-ing Tom and Val, who also won the chance to sit on stage with Eddie drinking wine while he serranded them with “Just Breathe.”
All of the money raised by the concert was donat-ed to help fund research by Dr. Jakub Tolar, at the University of Minnesota, who is currently working to advance gene and cel-lular engineering research.
“EB is a horrible genetic disorder, where
kids suffering from it are referred to as ‘butterfly children’ because their so fragile,” Tom told the Reporter. “These kids just want to be kids, and don’t understand why they can’t play, why they may feel like their body is on fire, why they’re constantly in pain.”
The good news, Tom said, is that cures are within reach, but it re-quires funding to research and provide treatment.
EB Research Partner-ship Chairman Alex Silver said the money raised at the concert will go a long way to help further those cures but much more is needed.
“As families impacted by rare diseases know all too well, it is difficult to access sufficient research dollars to make a true impact on the develop-ment of new treatments and cures,” Silver said.
Dr. Tolar’s research is currently using genomic mapping techniques to essentially fix a child’s DNA before birth. If successful the technique could be used to cure more than 5,000 other rare diseases currently af-fecting 10 percent of the U.S. population.

Did you know that most potential buyers form an opinion of the home
they are visiting in the first 90 seconds? That 90 percent of people are incapable of imagining living in a home that has not been prepped?
There are some very specific techniques you can apply to neutralize your property so that it will please the majority of buy-ers, influence the sale price, and reduce the length of time your home is on the market.
The first step in the “staging” of your home is to create new arrangements with your furniture. This will highlight the positive aspects of your living space, such as open areas, ease of circulation, size, light, and the main purpose of each room. It is important to create as much room as possible so that visitors have an impres-
sion of space and dimension.
To do this, keep only the furniture necessary for daily life, such as the kitchen or dining room table, the sofa, chairs, and other decorative elements that are both simple and neutral. Walls, shelving units, and kitchen counters should be popu-lated very sparingly. Art works, family photographs, and ornaments are all ele-ments that could put potential buyers off. Personal items tend to distract visitors and prevent them from being able to imagine living in your home.
The idea is to depersonalize your rooms, to make them neutral by opting for a white wall instead of your beloved flowery wallpaper, for example, which not every-one will like. Choose a restrained, elegant decor that will attract a young couple as much as a family.
A restrained décor will please the majority of potential buyers.
Staging your home for a rapid sale
The ups and downs of the real estate market over the last half dozen years
have led to some game-changing in-novations in that sector. Most especially, realtors have seen a rise in the marketing of properties online and a decline in con-ventional sales strategies, such as weekend open house events. That trend might reflect the needs of sellers, but many prospective buyers feel that there is still a place for the Saturday/Sunday open house in the house-hunting game.
Although the National Association of Realtors reports that fewer sellers are bothering with the open house concept, many buyers still rely on open visits to get a feel for the market in a given area and to be able to compare prices versus value. NAR statistics affirm that 45 percent of buyers use open house visits as a means
A visit is worth a
thousand words
to find a new home. Those most likely to attend an open house are married couples, people aged 45-64, and buyers who do not use English as their first language at home.
It is certainly practical to be able to peruse online a room-by-room photo album of a property, but it is a precious opportunity to be able to walk through a house without an appointment or without any pressure to make an offer. And if buy-ers notice that the same home has opened its doors over several weekends in a row, it might mean it is a slow-to-move property. While such a possibility deserves a bit of investigation, it could also indicate that the seller is in a position to make signifi-cant concessions in their asking price.

King County reports the average family throws out about 25 percent of its grocery purchases, and its Food: Too Good to Waste campaign was “a slap in the face” for Bel-levue resident Mary Priestley-Fine when she took stock of her losses.
Priestley-Fine was one of 36 King County residents — six in Bellevue — to participate in the campaign’s four-week challenge to re-duce food waste, documenting what she and her husband through out every week and finding ways to bring that number down.
“You hear that we waste a lot of food and, until you stop and take note of how much you’re wasting or throwing out, I don’t think you realize until it’s sitting in front of you just what that volume is,” she said.
Priestley-Fine said even after compacting her family’s first week of waste it measured 26 inches, which was partly due to her son and daughter being out of the house now
and needing to find more creative ways to use produce received through their commu-nity-supported agriculture group.
“That bag gets quite full, quite fast,” she said. “I found that I wasn’t doing anything with my (CSA) share as best as I needed to, so I was tossing about half of it.”
Receiving tips and resources from staff within King County’s Solid Waste Division, which headed the Food: Too Good to Wate campaign, and correcting her food purchas-es led to a positive reduction in waste for Priestley-Fine by the end of the challenge, she said.
“More than the waste was just the cash, the dollars that were going into that bag,” she said. “I have to tell you no matter where you are in life, that’s frustrating.”
To find out more about the Food: Too Good to Waste campaign and how to sign up for the next challenge, go to this short-ened link: http://1.usa.gov/1sEJpNT.

King County is challenging residents to stop wasting food in a new campaign.
The 2014 season has been memo-rable in every way for the Bellevue Wolverines girls soccer team and tomorrow could be the icing on the cake.
Bellevue, which has compiled an overall record of 17-0, will host the Arlington Eagles in the Class 4A state quarterfinals on Nov. 15 at Bellevue High School. Sophomore forward Jojo Harber is excelling in her first season in the starting lineup, scoring 14 goals thus far.
Harber embraces the role of being one of the Wolverines go-to players on offense.
“It’s very tough to score goals. Some people may not think it is tough, but it’s not easy,” Harber said. “My best strengths are my speed and creativity. I like being creative and doing whats not expected. I like making an impact and helping out the team as much as possible.”
Wolverines’ head coach Matt Dor-man is glad Harber is on his team through the 2016 season.
“She’s a special talent. It’s exciting having a player of her caliber on the
team. She has an ability to be able to beat a defender in a 1-on-1 situation, which many players have trouble do-ing,” Dorman said. “You always know there is a chance we are going to get a goal when she has a defender 1-on-1.”
Being one of the youngest players on the varsity roster doesn’t faze
Harber. “It’s really fun to play with a lot of
good players. I think I’m also getting better too. I look up to all of the other players. They are amazing,” she said. “I get to learn things from them as a soccer player and as a person so that’s cool too.”

opened for good as Bellevue scored 44 first-half points en route to a 44-0 victory against the Braves on Nov. 7 in Bellevue. Penn said the first touchdown of the game was a testament to his team’s diligent preparation.
“We work really hard at practice every day. That is exactly what needed to happen,” Penn said of the fast start. “Our hard work is paying off.”
Rogers was glad to see the first offensive possession of the game set the tone.
“All of the thanks goes to my lineman first and foremost. They did a great job,” he said. “All I had to do was throw it up to (Penn) and I knew he would go get it. He’s a great athlete. It was a great play.”
The Wolverines were unstoppable in the first half. Sam Richmond, Ercle Terrell and Yofiel Wyle each scored rushing touchdowns to go along with safety Ryan Gilbert’s 6-yard interception return for a score. Rogers connected with Penn for the second time on a 16-yard touchdown pass with 6:53 left in the first half of play as well. Bellevue’s opportunistic defense had four interceptions in the first half and Gilbert had three total interceptions in the contest.
“Our defense was all over the place,” Rogers said. The Wolverines (10-0) will host the Sumner Spartans 7
p.m. tonight at Bellevue Memorial Stadium. Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff said his team is intensely focused on fine tuning their own game.
“We’re worried about we do and not what anybody else does. It’s the next one up. Surviving and advancing is the whole deal right now,” Goncharoff said following the win against Bishop Blanchet. “The regular season is over and the playoffs are here. We have one down and hopefully a few more to go.”
Penn echoed his coach’s sentiment. “We don’t underestimate any team. We believe every team
we play in the playoffs is good. We’re just going to go out and play Bellevue football and hope we get the win,” Penn said.

An active El Niño cycle is expected to bring higher than average temperatures to the Eastside this winter. However the change prob-ably will be so negligible that many would fail to notice it.
After a warmer, drier summer than normal across the Puget Sound, the Eastside communities of Issaquah, Sammamish and Bellevue are expected to be in for a warmer, drier winter, according to Meteo-rologist Josh Smith with the National Weather Service’s Seattle office.
“The Climate Prediction Center is predicting an above normal average tem-
perature this winter,” Smith said, “with a slight chance for slightly below average precipitation.”
The temperature varia-tions can be tied directly to El Niño, a warming cycle of equatorial waters in the southern Pacific Ocean, which impacts climate and weather for countries all along the Pacific. The phenomenon draws its name — Spanish for “The Child,” referring to Jesus Christ — since it usually occurs and is most intense near Christmas.
El Niño conditions have impacts around the world, with many countries near the equator reporting increased risks of mosqui-to-born diseases such as malaria and dengue fever
during the cycle. In the Eastside, while El
Niño is expected to keep temperatures warmer, the slight chance for below-average precipitation is not tied to the phenomenon, according to Smith.
Despite the forecast, actual impacts are not expected to be drastic. While average highs in the Eastside region hover in the mid-40s in the winter, El Niño is expected to in-crease those averages into the upper 40s.
“These climate predic-tions never affect the weather that much,” Smith said. “There is generally
only a few degrees of dif-ference across the entire period.”
The warmer and drier winter expected for the Eastside should mirror conditions throughout Seattle and much of the Sound region, University of Washington Professor of Atmospheric Sciences and weather blogger Cliff Mass said. Mass’ blog is available on the Reporter website.

the association is hosting a used book sale, with most hardbacks and paperbacks on sale for $1, according to spokesperson Kristi Weir.
All book sales will go to help fund the library’s offerings including Opera Preview, SAT preparation for students and summer reading programs for children.

In its quest to find money-saving opportunities the King County Council unanimously approved the creation of a full-time, independent auditor for Metro Transit.
Authored by council member Rod Dembowski, the independent auditor will be tasked to find potential sav-ings and efficiencies in a budget approaching $1 billion annually.
Dembowski said he wrote the legislation after hearing county residents calls for reviewing Metro Transit fund-ing and spending.
“Government must be accountable, efficient and transparent,” Dembowski said.
According to the council member previous audits of Metro Transit have consistently found savings opportu-nities and potential improvements. An audit completed in 2009 resulted in nearly $800 million in net positive impact for the agency, according to Dembowski.
The newly approved position will be required to file a report summarizing the results of their work in the past 24 months to the King County Council and the public by July 1 of every even-numbered year.

Welcome Dr. Meng Lu!
Northwest Eye Surgeons is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Meng Lu to our professional team, as a specialist in glaucoma consultations and surgery.
Dr. Lu received her Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas. She completed her ophthalmology residency at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey. She completed a glaucoma fellowship at the John A. Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dr. Lu practices in our Seattle and Renton of� ces, and is accepting patients by referral.
“When people think of Bellevue they think rich, in Seattle poverty is clearly present, here it’s invisible … it’s masked” Eun said.
This Saturday Jubilee Reach is hosting its annual Festival of Trees, a fundraiser held at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue Grand Ballroom starting at 5 p.m. The $150 plate dinner prepared by chef Gene Cunningham, includes select wines, access to a silent auction for fully decorated Christmas Trees and themed gift packages from spon-sors and live music from Moxie.
All of the money raised will go to help fund the after school programs, and provide support for the more than 490 families locally, through its Com-munity Care program.
With the help of Jubilee Reach, students are showing remarkable improvement in and out of the class-room, Eun said.
At Highland Middle School, where nearly half of its student population is eligible for free or reduced lunch, the students have seen firsthand the
benefit of Jubilee Reach, serving as major part of the school’s recent suc-cess, he said.
Based on President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind leg-islation, Highland went through a “restructuring process,” said principal Anissa Bereano.
Sixth grade blocks were grouped together so students had the same instructor for language arts, social studies and math. In doing so, the stu-dents didn’t have to deal with as much transitions from different classrooms and were able to build stronger re-lationships with their teacher, she said.
At the same time, the school also brought in coaches from Jubilee Reach to help build those relationships and encourage the student participation carrying over their influence from after school activities into the classrooms.
“A lot of great things happened at once,” Bereano said. “One of our big-gest focuses was positive relationships, if they could have positive experiences at the school after class it would carry over to their school work.”
And it did.Between 2009 and 2014 the number
of students passing state testing grew
from 72 percent to 92 percent.Bereano said a lot of students were
having in trouble in algebra in partic-ular, so one of the coaches sat in class with them as well as tutored them after school. He already knew the homework they were going go have to tackle because he was in the class. The combination of a caring community partner and a team of teachers provid-ing quality education made it possible for students to excel in places they never though possible, she said.
“Often times kids may feel discon-nected from school, they may not have that positive relationship with a staff member, but the site coaches have been very successful in that,” Beareano said.
The “power” of having those coach-es at school during the day also greatly reduced the number of detentions. In the 2008/2009 school year the school administration issued 101 detentions. Last year there were just 29 incidents that required a detention and this year the school has essentially stopped giving them out, opting instead to focus on reteaching and allowing the students to learn from their mistakes, the principal said.

driver. Three other troopers used their vehicles to pin the driver inside the truck just before exit 11.
“The pursuit ended great,” Webb said. “No one was hurt ... it was textbook.”
Webb said it was unclear if the man was resisting ar-
rest following the successful PIT, as they had to pull the driver out of the truck.
One state patrol vehicle suffered moderate damage and another “cosmetic” damage. The suspect’s truck had several cracks and bends on its bumper.
According to Webb, the man is facing at least felony eluding and reckless DUI, but could face additional charges. During the pursuit the man was throwing items out of his window. Reporter staff at the scene
witnessed at least two large jars of marijuana inside a backpack in the vehicle.
Traffic was limited to the HOV lane while police investigated the end of chase, backing up cars up to six miles.

closures of one northbound lane on Bellevue Way South-east to underground utilities starting in mid-2015. The city will also take more than a year to manage its utility work there, but will not be limited to working only weekends.
During East Link construction to follow, Sound Tran-sit plans to keep two lanes of Bellevue Way open to peak traffic, which will be accomplished using a third, reversible lane to address changes in usage heading north or south. This construction is estimated to last 36-48 months.
A southbound high-occupancy vehicle lane is also planned for Bellevue Way Southeast ahead of East Link going online in 2023. Sound Transit engineer Paul Cornish said Metro is working on bus route revisions ahead of the park-and-ride’s closure while Sound Transit looks at alter-nate parking options, such as leasing space from the private sector or possibly moving parking to Mercer Island.
Utilities work on 112th Avenue Southeast is also expected to reduce traffic to one lane in each direction for about 18 months. Sound Transit’s 5-year timeline to construct the south Bellevue light rail station and adjacent 1,500-stall parking garage was scaled back from the seven years originally projected for completion. Excavation work is planned to start in 2016. About 4,500 daily boardings are estimated to take place there by 2030.
The 5-story parking garage will consist of two levels below grade, the third story at street level and accessible through the park-and-ride’s current entrance. A south en-trance will access the garage at the second floor, said John Walser, a senior architect with Sound Transit.
Commuters entering the station will see a bannered ceiling element in fall colors, the main sidewalks circulat-ing the station patterned to resemble the planks used for Mercer Slough boardwalks, Walser said.
Seattle artists Katy Stone and Vicki Scuri were com-missioned to turn the light rail station’s gray preliminary designs into a colorful homage to the surrounding nature park, spending months touring the slough for inspira-tion, said Barbara Luecke, manager for Sound Transit’s art program, STart.
Stone incorporated cattail formations along the garage’s facade, which will be visible from the station platform, and Scuri designed hexagonally patterned leaf screens that will wrap around guideway support columns. A nature-based pattern will also run along the acoustic panels of the guide-way. As for accessing the slough itself during construction, Walser said a temporary parking lot will be sited south of the park-and-ride.
“That really will be the only access point during con-struction,” he said.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
