BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A strong contingent of Bellevue College students and faculty amassed at Bellevue City Hall on May 15 to push the King County Council to reconsider rerouting Route 271 away from campus as part of a 16-percent cut in tran-sit service to shore up losses in state sales tax revenue over the past � ve years.

� e council began taking public comment about the cuts and route revisions a� er Proposition No. 1 — a funding measure for the recently formed King County Transporta-tion Bene� t District — failed in April. � e � rst round of service reductions is slated for September, cutting 161,000 hours in King County and another 56,000 hours in north-east King County in February. Two more rounds of cuts will occur in June and September 2015. � e council is set to approve the cuts at its June 9 meeting.

Alex Clark, environmental and social responsibility representative for the Associated Student Government of Bellevue College, said students and faculty were happy when planned cuts were scaled back and Route 245 was spared the chopping block, but moving Route 271 away from campus will a� ect 900 daily riders.

"� e stop that's proposed to be cut is in the heart of campus," he told the Reporter on � ursday.

Ahead of public testimony, King County transporta-tion sta� updated Eastside residents on the proposed cuts and its formula for selecting which routes to reduce, cut, consolidate or change. Audience members chuckled


Bellevue councilmembers are continuing to urge Sound Transit to consider siting its large operations and maintenance satellite facility — meant for servicing its East Link light rail � eet outside of the city's Bel-Red corridor — to prevent what they see as severe impacts to the redevelopment area.

With Sound Transit still eyeing 2023 to launch its expanded East Link service, the

transit agency states its SODO maintenance facility is too small to handle the additional � eet of about 180 vehicles, and is now pro-posing several site alternatives in Bellevue — three in the Bel-Red corridor — and Lynwood. It began its 45-day public com-ment period through June 23 and plans to identify a preferred site on July 24.

An option to construct an operations and maintenance facility in Bellevue between the Eastside Rail Corridor and 120th Avenue Northeast — south of SR-520

— was determined to be the cheapest of the alternatives. It would take up about 23 of the 27 acres on the site, leaving four acres for redevelopment. Due to zoning, Sound Transit would require a conditional use permit for this alternative. � ere is also a modi� ed version of this plan.

Councilmembers told Sound Transit sta� Monday that alternatives cutting through the Bel-Red corridor and utilizing Burling-ton Northern-Santa Fe will have negative economic impacts as redevelopment —

including the Spring District project — continues in the area. � e BNSF alternative in question would displace 14 businesses and is inconsistent with current zoning, but also would have the least impact on natural resources and is the least expensive to construct.

� e city worked hard with Sound Transit to allow light rail into Bellevue, said councilmembers, but proposing a massive

Food, fun, flowers and more were on display May 15, as the Bellevue Farmers Market opened its 2014 season on Saturdays in the parking lot of the Bellevue Presbyterian Church, 1717 Bellevue Way N.E. Fresh vegetables were in abundance, as were flowers. Face-painting was a popular attraction for kids. In all, there are three farmers markets in Bellevue, including one at Crossroads Shopping Center, which will be open from noon to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday beginning May 26 at 15600 N.E. Eighth St., and another downtown, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday beginning June 7 at 550 106th Ave. N.E., next to Bellevue Arts Museum. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter

The Bellevue Fire De-partment is estimating a $2.1 million home up for sale on the 3100 block of 110th Avenue Southeast sustained at least $750,000 in damage during an early morning fire Monday.

Firefighters responded to the three-story home around 12:30 a.m., and believe the fire started on the first floor in the back of the house. It spread up to the upper two levels

of the home and into the attic space, said Fire Lt. Richard Burke, “Which led to lots of air and lots of space for free burn.”

The home was unoc-cupied at the time of the fire, and no one was injured. One firefighter did fall through the third

floor into the second, but Burke said he was able to hold onto a fire hose.

“We had a � re� ghter who went through the � oor, from Floor 3 to Floor 2. He was not in-jured and he stayed on the scene,” he said. “He pushed through an area where he’d been working and down he went. He kind of rode the hose down, held onto the � re hose and landed on his feet.”

Initial reports were that a gas-powered fire pit in the back of the house may have been the cause of the fire, but Burke said noth-ing is definitive at this time as the investigation remains active.

� e Cascade Water Al-liance celebrated its 15th anniversary May 15 with a luncheon that highlighted the collaborative e� orts of Eastside cities to ensure their water needs continue to be met decades into the future — the type of team-work that has been needed in California to tackle a severe drought across the state.

“You can count on the fact that this is going to happen and we need to get ready for it,” said Will Stelle, administrator for the north-west region of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service and CWA keynote speaker. “… We’re not ready.”

Stelle said it was apparent 2014 would be a disaster for California in terms of

drought by January.“What you could hear

was real fear, fear that they were going to lose control of the (Sacramento-San Joaquin River) Delta,” he said.

California reservoirs are all at 50 percent or lower on average this year, with no snow pack in the Sierra Ne-vadas expected to alleviate the crisis. Wetter weather in February and March helped, but what Stelle said is critical in keeping ahead of drought is cooperation between � sheries, water service operators and water quality managers, and be-ing able to change how the system is operated in real time.

“You don’t have the luxu-ry of time to � ddle around,” Stelle said. “… Don’t get into chasing errors because you’ll spend a lot of time doing it.”

While California had

a 1,000-page biological opinion regarding joint op-erations for how to manage reservoirs, pumping rates, gate operations, salinity control and more, Stelle said in the face of a drought there is not much time for critical assessments.

Stelle said he took a lot of gu� when looking at saving spring chinook salmon from dying o� while also allow-ing temporary increases in water exports out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. He said its im-portant that, even in the face of opposition, stakeholders

stand by their decisions and be collectively prepared to take greater risks.

Elaine Kra� , communi-cations director for Cascade Water Alliance, said Stelle painted a dire picture of what California is facing, but another message she received from his address is that the CWA is on the right path to ensuring it is prepared to meet future

Local organization walking to fight SIDSBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Anneliese Marie was Cynthia � omas’ third daugh-ter, and a picture of health on Oct. 27, 2012. Her mother placed her on her back in her crib to sleep. When � omas returned to check on her 4-month-old, Anneliese Marie was dead — the cause was determined to be sudden infant death syndrome. Now � omas is working hard to raise funds to support research that may better assist in � nding the risk factors for SIDS and how to prevent it.

“I followed all the rules with my daughter, all the rules that they recommend, and she still died,” � omas said. “We need to fund research, so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

� omas, 34, started Strollin’ to Fight SIDS — a 5K fun-draising walk — last year with her friend, Ti� any Sparks-Keeny. It was the � rst SIDS fundraising walk in Washing-ton state.

“I was just so devastated — obviously — by grief, but there was just no way I could pull this o� by myself,” said � omas, giving much credit for last year’s walk to Sparks-Keeny. � omas was also diagnosed with cancer just one week a� er her daughter’s death.

� e second annual Strollin’ to Fight SIDS walk will be at 10:30 a.m. June 7 at the Newport High School track course, with registration at 10 a.m. Online registration can be found at strollinto� ghtsids.org. Funds raised go to the CJ Foundation for SIDS, and � omas said $4,000 has been raised so far through sponsors. � is year’s fundraising goal is $10,000.

“We’re getting really close and I hope we exceed it,” � omas said.

water supply demands on the Eastside, and lucky such a need won’t be soon.

� e Cascade Water Alliance bought Lake Tapps from Puget Sound Energy in 2009 for a future water supply and storage. Member cities include Bel-levue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, Tukwila, and

the Sammamish Plateau Water & Sewer District and Skyway Water & Sewer Dis-trict. Kra� said those cities are not expected to have supply issues for decades, which means Lake Tapps will continue to be moni-tored for quality and used for recreation. � e CWA is currently working toward setting future water rates.

“We’re trying to stabilize our rates for the long-term,” Kra� said.

facility that would impact transit oriented development around light rail violates the planning that has been done. Councilmember John Chelminiak said a "50-acre parking lot doesn't make sense" in areas slated for transit oriented development and that Sound Transit needs to "take a step back” and reassess its options.

A modi� ed proposal by Sound Transit to split the facility in half on the east and west sides of the BNSF railway cor-ridor with a 200-foot bu� er didn't strike the council as being any better, as that option will displace 25 businesses and re-quire relocating the city's public safety training center. Both of these options at 120th Avenue Northeast would utilize the old International Paper corrugated container plant site, which Sound Transit purchased last year.

Another proposal to site the facility south of State Route 520, at the corner of Northeast 20th Street and 130th Avenue Northeast would displace 101 businesses and negatively impact future tax revenues.

Councilmembers pressed Sound Transit sta� to look closer at its Lynnwood option, which would be north on In-terstate 5 and east of 52nd Avenue West. Michael Williams, director of Sound Transit's O� ce of Light Rail Development, said di� culties with that option include having to shorten service hours and coming to an agreement with the Ed-monds School District, which is planning facility improve-

ments in the same area the transit agency is assessing and is likewise opposed to the idea. Williams added the Lynnwood site would mean an additional $3 million operations cost per year for Sound Transit.

Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said more than $6 million in city tax revenue is estimated to be lost annually through either of the two options that would put the mainte-nance facility at the International Paper site. Wright Runstad, which is leading development of the Spring District, also has come out in opposition to using the International Paper site.

"It doesn't belong there," Robertson told the Reporter, adding if Sound Transit can't be � exible, "� is could a� ect the next phase of the (memorandum of understanding)."

Sound Transit will host a public hearing at 5-7:30 p.m. June 5 at the Coast Bellevue Hotel, the results of which will be shared with the City Council.

Someone who has a cardiac arrest in King County has a greater chance of sur-vival than anyone else in the world, accord-ing the latest analysis by county o� cials. � e survival rate for cardiac arrest in King County hit an all-time high of 62 percent in 2013. By comparison, the cardiac survival rates in New York City, Chicago and other urban areas have been recorded in the single digits.

“People are alive today in King County who would not have survived in most other places in the country,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Our system delivers rapid, high-quality critical care wherever you are.”

King County’s success in saving lives is based in a coordinated, regional sys-tem where everyone — dispatchers, � rst responders, � re departments, law enforce-ment, paramedics, urgent care centers, and others — is guided by consistent medical direction and evidence-based practice.

� e cardiac survival rate in King County has dramatically risen over the past decade or so, from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to 62 percent in 2013. Strategies that have contributed to the rise include:

· Adoption of high-performance CPR method by emergency medical techni-cians to maximize oxygen circulation and increase survival chances.

· Adoption of telecommunicator CPR, whereby 911 emergency personnel provide

instant CPR instructions by phone.· Increasing public availability of au-

tomated external de� brillators (AEDs), including more than 100 in King County facilities, and placement of AEDs in many law enforcement vehicles, including with King County Sheri� ’s deputies.

· High rates of CPR training for local residents.

· A regional paramedic training program, funded by charitable contributions, that

exceeds national standards for certi� cation.“� is is a public health victory in pre-

venting deaths that don’t need to happen in our community, and a great example of how a community-based strategy can get it done,” said Dr. David Fleming, director and health o� cer for Public Health - Seattle & King County.

“We like to say that it takes a system to save a cardiac arrest victim, and it’s proven true again and again with every

new survivor,” said Dr. Mickey Eisenberg, King County Emergency Medical Services medical director. “I thank everyone for their contributions to the success of our EMS/Medic One system.”

Introduced in Seattle in 1970, the Medic One program was one of the � rst in the nation to provide paramedic services; the program spread to all of King County starting in 1973. � e EMS/Medic One program since has become a model nationwide for delivery of lifesaving � rst-responder services.

In recognition of EMS/Medic One sys-tem’s excellence, Constantine and the King County Council proclaimed the week of May 19-25 as Emergency Medical Services Week in King County.

“I am so proud of our King County EMS. � eir commitment to outstanding service and adaptation of technology is what led to this new higher survival rate,” said King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert, chair of the Law, Justice, Health and Human Services Committee. “It’s another great reason why we have a high quality of life in King County.”

Emergency Medical Services in King County operates in a coordinated partner-ship with � ve dispatch centers, six para-medic providers, and 30 � re departments. It is funded through a countywide Medic One/EMS levy.

I hated summers in eastern Washington where I grew up. I’d � nd respite in the cool basement of my parents’ house with a glass of lemonade and a stack of books. Some mornings,

I’d leave the house for babysitting gigs but, most of the time, my adventures were con� ned within the pages of mystery and horror novels.

On the rare occasions I’d venture outside, it was to attempt a tan in the backyard. Accompanying me on my beach towel was a Walkman, a stack of cassettes from ’80s boy bands, a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic and a novel.

By late a� ernoon, I’d have � nished my book and would wander into the kitchen with an empty stomach and a sunburn. I’d put together strange ingredients for snacks or ex-periment just to see what � zzled and bubbled, or what tasted good. It was fun stirring up ingredients in kitchen science experiments. It was all about learning, I just didn’t know that.

� e library system recognizes that kids who continue to learn, read and experiment throughout summer break are better prepared for the next school year. What was once considered the summer reading program has expanded into a Summer Learning Program. Reading is still a prime compo-nent, but the library is encouraging kids to go a step further and try out some science experiments.

� e summer themes this year cover learning and science: Fizz Boom Read for children and Spark a Reaction for teens. Starting June 1, kids can start marking their reading goals of 500 minutes and the opportunity to complete an activity for di� erent badges with STREAM topics (science, technology, reading, engineering, art or math). Soon a full list of programs for children and teens will appear on the KCLS website. Check www.kcls.org/kids/summer or www.kcls.org/teens/summer.

Reading is still strongly encouraged this summer, but we hope families will enjoy the science programs the libraries are o� ering. Whether your kids are reading at the beach, or downloading ebooks from home, enjoy. It’s a quick two month vacation, and if they’re having fun they may not even notice they are learning. Just don’t forget the sunscreen.

Total compensation key in $15 wage debateOne of the problems with the

minimum wage debate is the name itself. If we want to en-

sure that we don’t hurt lower-income workers, we should consider total

compensation, not just wages.

Case in point: Bill H. earns $15 an hour as a park-ing lot attendant. Lisa W. earns $12.25 an hour at a fast food restau-rant. But Lisa’s employer provides

merit raises, paid vacations, health insurance, management training, education scholarships, childcare as-sistance and a 401(k) retirement plan.

Who is better o� ? Would it help or hurt Lisa if she lost all her bene� ts, but gained $2.75 an hour in wages? We need to consider that question as part of any debate about the mini-mum wage.

� e truth is raising the minimum wage is not as clear or as simple as some would have us believe.

Let’s leave aside for a moment the fact that no city or state has ever at-tempted to raise its minimum wage by 60 percent. Most experts agree that the more extreme and abrupt

the increase, the more economic casualties it creates — lost jobs and lost opportunities.

But as any employer knows, there is much more to employee compensation than wages. Accord-ing to a March 2014 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, private sector employers pay an ad-ditional 30 percent on top of wages for employee bene� ts such as Social Security, Medicare, workers com-pensation insurance, unemployment insurance, paid leave, health care, retirement, etc.

For example, the BLS reports that, while the average service worker makes $12.17 an hour, their bene� ts bring their total compensation to $16.95 per hour.

Because Washington’s current minimum wage is the highest in the nation, employer costs — and em-ployee bene� ts — are likely greater here.

Take Dick’s Drive-In, for example.An iconic Seattle-area institution

for 60 years, Dick’s Drive-in provides good wages and generous employee bene� ts. According to Jasmine Donovan, granddaughter of founder Dick Spady, employees start at $10.25 an hour, receive regular merit raises, health insurance, $22,000 in

scholarships over four years, child-care assistance, bonuses, paid vaca-tions, a 401(k) retirement plan with a 50 percent employer match and paid volunteer time at local charities.

� ese bene� ts push the total com-pensation for employees of Dick’s Drive-In above the targeted $15 per hour minimum wage.

But, if the company is forced to bump wages to $15 per hour, it will not be able to a� ord the employee bene� ts it currently provides. Donovan cautions, “Employees who earn higher taxable wages, but lose valuable tax-free bene� ts may end up worse o� .”

� e same is true for the employees of Burgerville restaurants. Founded in the 1960s, Burgerville operates 39 restaurants from Centralia, Washing-ton to Albany, Ore.

� ese bene� ts have value — value that must be considered in any dis-cussion about raising the minimum wage.

Micah Pittman has invested in many real estate ventures around the world, but 99 Park will be his � rst restaurant in the United States, which he says is designed to re� ect the best aspects of his global experiences.

Pittman bought the two-story building under construction at 99 102nd Ave. N.E., in 2007. It was go-ing to be leveled to make way for a 10-story, 110-room boutique hotel, and was shovel-ready in August 2011.

But then Abu Dhabi-based developer, Hydra Developments, for which Pit-tman is its CEO, dropped the project due to investors pulling out.

Pittman spent the next two years traveling out of country — mixing business and pleasure along the way — and came back to Bellevue with a desire to blend his experiences into a restaurant with the only view of Downtown Park.

“I thought, ‘You know, the economy is doing really well and I just felt like the Bellevue market, I would say, was really underrepresented in the

international market,” Pittman said. “� ere’s not a lot of boutique-like places.”

Pittman said he wanted a place where he could take his friends, share his global experiences and in a stand-alone restaurant.

He describes 99 Park as an upscale joint with a casual dining experience on the � rst � oor of the building — all totaling $2.5 million in renovations. Pittman said 99 Park is most in� u-enced by his experiences in Copen-hagen, Denmark. He considers Noma to be one of the best restaurants in

Settlement to expedite Target constructionBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

� e city of Bellevue’s Northeast Fourth Street extension project and its af-� liated property settlement will be a major bene� t to the Target Corporation. � e company is getting approval to construct a three-story storefront on 116th Avenue Northeast streamlined as a result.

City sta� and council-members approved settle-ments earlier this month with the Corporation Ser-vice Company of Tumwater. It is the owner of a� ected properties under lease by Best Buy and Home Depot, where Northeast Fourth will cut through a portion of the electronics store and a shared parking lot. CSC is receiving $19 million through the combined settlements and Best Buy will get a new parking ga-rage and northern addition

to its storefront.� e property owner’s

future tenant, Target, also is reaping the bene� ts of the settlement, which includes advancing the city’s plans to amend its land use code in the Wilburton subarea, west of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe rail

line. � e city reports its comprehensive plan had called for zoning this area for commercial business and allowing individual development agreements following completion of the extension project.

Complying with the settlement agreement, the

Bellevue City Council on Monday approved taking steps to amend the land use code to allow Target to move forward with plans for its new retail site at the corner of Northeast Fourth and 116th Avenue

the world.“I would like to say (99

Park) is an upper-scale farm-to-table type concept,” Pittman said. “Similar, but very unique.”

A seasonal menu will be provided through foods locally-sourced around the Paci� c Northwest. Pittman said his Michelin Star-

trained chefs were out at Bellevue Farmers Market last week making purchases for test cooking at his Bel-levue home.

99 Park will serve lunch, dinner and a late-night menu (� ursday through Saturday for late-night) but Pittman is most excited about its brunch menu.

“We’ll be the best brunch in the entire city,” he said. “I am absolutely con� dent.”

Among its drink o� er-ings will be cra� cocktails, but Pittman said the quality of the liquors will be high-

lighted over the ingredients and preparation.

“People don’t really like waiting � ve minutes to get a drink,” he said.

99 Park — the name inspired by one of Pitt-man’s New York favorites, Eleven Madison Park — is slated to open in July and begin taking reservations by late June. � e north side of the building will be the entrance, which Pittman said he wanted to feel like it opened into Downtown Park. � ere will also be a large patio area around the

building and 40-stall park-ing lot

He said the public will have to wait until June to � nd out details for the sec-ond � oor of 99 Park, which he hinted will be separate, but required developing a unique “concierge-type so� ware.”

“I will tell you it will be very exclusive,” Pittman said. “... It will accentuate what we’ve done downstairs and add value to it.”

Northeast. Adoption of the land use amend-ment allows the city and Target to enter into a development agreement that will allow the 137,000-square-foot storefront to be constructed on the third level, along with 90,000 square feet of parking on the second level and 15,000 square feet of retail space on the ground � oor.

� e City Council did not speak about the land use code amendment Monday and approved it as a consent agenda item. According to an agenda memorandum, a public hearing will be required before the amendment can take e� ect, which sta� recommends the council conduct rather than the planning commission to expedite the process.

“A rezone of the Target parcel, consistent

with the Comprehensive Plan, the anticipat-ed development agreement, and a design re-view permit for development of a store will all be processed in fairly quick succession in order to meet Target’s desired timelines,” the memorandum states.

Target has submitted its design for review and anticipates starting construction in July, with a completion goal of October 2015.

� e development agreement does pro-pose design guidelines for the commercial business land use district to be formed, which will treat the Target store and other retail development there as part of an urban village.

“Any urban village in this area will ultimately have a mix of commercial and residential uses and therefore the juxtaposi-tion of any new building with surrounding residential — either existing or planned for the future — is important,” the guidelines state.

� e potential for a grossly under-funded performing arts center to ever break ground in Bellevue through a public-private partnership will be assessed through a memorandum of understanding between the city and Performing Arts Center Eastside. � e memorandum commits the city to $63,200 in general fund spending to explore options through outside consultants.

� e Tateuchi Center is a $160-mil-

lion, 175,000-square-foot performing arts center proposed to be constructed at the corner of Northeast 10th Street and 106th Avenue Northeast. Funding remains stuck at about $65 million, with the largest contribution — $25 million — coming from the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Founda-tion, for which the center is now named.

PACE had intended for the Tateuchi Center to take o� as a private project, constructing on land donated by Kem-per Freeman Jr., but its board mem-bers blame the recession in 2008 for the long-term decline in funding mo-mentum over the past � ve years. � e plan for the performing arts center has been in motion since 2002, but talks of such a destination spot in Bellevue has been ongoing since the 1980s.

City sta� provided Bellevue councilmembers with an outline for

exploring a partnership with PACE that could allow it to boost funding through grant requests and other sources in February, which came back to the City Council on Monday in the form of a memorandum of under-standing already signed by the PACE board.

City Council approved the MOU, which includes assessing the public and economic bene� t of a perform-ing arts center, city funding options, legal requirements of entering such a partnership, renewing public and pri-vate fundraising e� orts, an extensive public feedback process and exploring a consortium of Eastside cities.

A legal study of issues surround-ing a potential agreement with PACE could be concluded by September, when sta� hopes to bring a range of options to council to narrow the scope.

Technology Alliance and Bellevue College announce partnership

The Technology Alliance and Bellevue College Con-tinuing Education have joined forces to offer a Cer-tificate of Completion to students of the Ada Devel-opers Academy, the programming school for women launched in 2013. The certificate will be granted to students in Ada’s inaugural class upon completion of their internships with one of 13 local technology companies.

Ada trains women who do not have prior program-ming experience but demonstrate high aptitude and interest for careers in the software industry, where there is a significant and long-standing gender gap. It combines six months of intensive classroom instruc-tion with six months of internship experience at Puget Sound-area technology businesses.

Ada students are immersed in software development and learn up-to-date web development skills. During the internship portion of the program, students gain hands-on experience and function as part of a software development team delivering code for real applica-tions.

Local leaders of agencies committed to preventing and ending youth homelessness are concerned that cuts to Metro routes not only will impair the ability of youth to access transportation, but also will impact a regional community safety net for youth in crisis, Safe Place.

Safe Place in King County was launched in August 2011 in partnership with Metro Transit. Every Metro bus is a Safe Place site where youth ages 12-17 can ask for help.

“�e concept of Safe Place is simple,” said Terry Pottmeyer, CEO of Friends of Youth. “When a youth in trouble sees the Safe Place logo, they know they have found a place where they can ask for help and get it im-mediately.

A trained sta� member from one of our three agencies, Auburn Youth Resources, Friends of Youth or YouthCare, respond to every call and within 45 minutes one of our counselors will meet the young person, assess his or her needs, helping the youth get to shelter, return home or �nd an alternative safe placement that very same day.”

Program supporters say that while Metro is one of many Safe Place sites, it is di�erent

in its availability to youth during the evening and overnight hours when many other Safe Place sites, like local libraries, are closed.

“Two and a half years a�er its launch, King County Safe Place is one of the busi-est networks in the nation,” said Melinda Giovengo, executive director of YouthCare in Seattle. “�is partnership has been a great way to reach out and help youth because of the unique way it connects and coordinates existing resources, like Metro buses, provid-ing a 24 hour regional response to the issues facing our young people.”

�e proposed 16 percent reduction in bus service countywide, including elimination of routes serving suburban and rural areas and reductions in o�-peak hours, would mean fewer opportunities to connect to safety for homeless and runaway youth. Data from the King County Safe Place network show that most youth who have accessed Safe Place through a Metro bus did so outside of peak hours (Metro de�nes peak as 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.). Only one pickup occurred during peak hours; most occurred between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m.

“We are concerned that with fewer buses on the roads, and reductions to Metro service to rural and suburban communities, youth in crisis will lose a critical piece of the existing safety net,” said Jim Blanchard, ex-ecutive director of Auburn Youth Resources,

an agency providing service to youth in South King County. “Even losing one youth to the streets or a predator because timely help was unavailable when needed, is one too many.”

In addition to Safe Place, all three agen-cies participate in Metro’s discounted fare program, buying discounted bus tickets each year to help homeless and at-risk youth get to school, work, shelter, housing, and other appointments safely and e�ciently. Transit is an essential link to education and the support services that help homeless young people need to move beyond the streets and prepare for life.

Speaking for the group, Pottmeyer hopes that the cities, county and rural communi-ties of King County will continue to work together to avoid cuts to Metro bus service. “Maintaining bus service throughout the county is a good thing not only for commut-ers, but a critical lifeline for the youth we serve.”

�e King County Safe Place is made pos-sible through funding provided by United Way of King County. Safe Place is part of a national network of more than 20,000 part-nering businesses and community locations that display the yellow diamond Safe Place sign, a safety net for youth in crisis who have nowhere else to turn.

Metro cuts to impact Safe Place program

when they were informed the county's transporta-tion service development manager had been delayed when the bus he needed to take to the Bellevue Transit Center had passed him at his stop due to overcrowd-ing.

"I have no response for that one," said John Resa, the county's principal legis-lative analyst.

A Bellevue College sta� representative echoed other comments from students and faculty that having the closest stop to campus at 148th Avenue Southeast will require walking a third of a mile to classes, creating not only problems with distance — especially for those with disabilities — but also safety for those attending night courses. Many said tra�c on 148th is already bad, and one wheelchair-bound student said it is hard to navigate sidewalks along the street. Another student told the council revising Route 271 eliminates a connection from the Eastgate Park and Ride to the Issaquah Transit Center.

My-Linh �ai with the Bellevue School Board asked the King County Council to consider how other proposed route changes will a�ect students

in the Bellevue School District, including creating safety issues and trouble getting to school and a�er-school programs.

One Crossroads resident told council that reductions to Route 226 will cause problems in the lower-income area of the city. She said the time that would need to be taken by users to take the route would strongly take away from time better spent home with family. An Issaquah resident said cutting Route 927 would cripple public trans-portation within the city.

A Bellevue resident,

who admitted to being among the 58 percent in King County Council District No. 6 who voted down Prop 1, said his vote doesn't mean he opposes public transportation. His concerns lie with metro operations. He said there is a problem with subarea equity that should be ad-dressed in the same manner that Sound Transit oper-ates, and that riders should pay their fair share while lower-income users should pay less.

Several members with HopeLink, including CEO Lauren �omas, told the

council they are concerned how transit cuts will a�ect its vulnerable clients' ability to remain in their homes. Not all of their clients qualify for travel through Medicaid, and asked the council to consider delay-ing its reductions until these issues are further addressed.

Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci asked the county council to re-examine a letter it received from the City Council that included requesting Route 271 be preserved. Bellevue's Jane Hague on the King County Council said it would help

to have county planners review the city's strategic transit plan to see if it is possible to restructure routes.

�e city of Seattle is con-sidering a citywide tax hike to spare Metro cuts there. Balducci told the Reporter she requested city sta� per-form its own analysis to see if there is a way for Bellevue to shore up its losses. She said she has concerns about seeking local solutions to a regional problem, adding �ursday's hearing helped to put faces to the issue.

"�is meeting tonight really helped to put some

meat on those bones," Balducci said.

Jubilee REACH awarded for club workBy Daniel nashBellevue RepoRteR

The Washington Education Association on Monday honored Jubilee REACH for its work with students and families in Bellevue.

The Community Partners award was given at Tillicum Middle School, where site activities coordinator Jona-than George received it on behalf of the organization in front of an audience of students in “Club Jubilee.” The club operates athletic and academic programs in seven middle schools and one elementary. The pro-gram began with a single soccer team at Highland Middle School.

The award included a $500 endowment for the organization to continue operations.

“It’s an honor,” said George, himself a 2006 Bellevue High graduate. “I have such a great team

working with me.”Tillicum Principal Dion

Yahoudy said Club Jubilee has given middle school students an opportunity to compete in organized sports in a low pressure “no cuts” environment, and was responsible for the school’s first girls golf team.

“It’s the difference between just putting cones on the ground and put-ting together actual sports teams,” Yahoudy said. “Or-ganized games, teams, team T-shirts, everything. And when these kids go on to high school, they’ll be more confident trying out for the teams there, because they’ve had practice.”

The club also offers aca-demic clubs such as chess and robotics, as well as tutoring services. None of the services come at cost to the district, Yahoudy said.

Bellevue Education As-sociation President Michele Miller noted that REACH donated space for tense

negotiations between the association and the district in 2011.

The Community Partners award is given once a year by the WEA Committee for Human and Civil Rights, after selecting from a pool of nominees.

Bellevue le� no doubt about its place atop 3A KingCo track and � eld, as well as its status as a legitimate contender to win a third straight team scoring state title, winning the conference track and � eld championships by nearly 100 points over second place Mount Si.

� e Wolverines once again dominated the sprints, relays and hurdles on the boys side, as senior Budda Baker took the 100 meter dash in 10.85 seconds, and won the 200 in 21.68.

Sophomore Isaiah Gilchrist won the 400 in 50.91 for Bel-levue, and was second in the 100 and 200 as well.

Graham Wendle won the 800 and 1,600 for coach John Hill’s squad, and Sam Richmond took the 300 meter hurdles and was second in the 110 meter event.

Sam and brother Max Richmond teamed with Baker and Gilchrist to win the 400 meter relay and the Wolverines were third in the 1,600 meter relay.

Baker came back to win the 3A KingCo long jump title, just in front of Sam Richmond.

Ryan Gilbert took the javelin throw for the Wolverines, which � nished with 200.5 team points on the strength of

their depth in the � nals. Bellevue had six of the eight entrants in the 100 meter

dash � nals, and comprised half of the � eld in the 200. Interlake got championships from senior Aaron Miller

in the shot put and discus, and a second place � nish from sophomore Luke Beauchamp in the 3,200.

Bellevue girls dominate � eld Junior Giovanna Park threw 123-04 for Bellevue in the

javelin to capture her second straight conference title, and Ayane Rossano and Michelle Louie � nished � rst and second respectively in the pole vault to lead the girls squad

to a third place team � nish. Katherine Penner won the 800 for Bellevue, and Isabelle

Butter� eld was second in the 200 and third in the 300. Camille Moore, a sophomore, � nished second in the 3,200.

Butter� eld, Eden Fox, Jojo Harber and Sabrina Mo-hazzabfar � nished second in the 400 and 800 meter relays.

Riley Brown was second for Interlake in the 100, and Sophie Oscar was second in the 100 hurdles for the Saints.

Fox won the long jump championship for the Bellevue girls, with Oscar third in the event.

� e Sea-King District track and � eld meet is May 21 and 23 at Southwest Athletic Complex at Chief Sealth Interna-tional High School in Seattle, with state spots on the line.

For each of the four Bellevue golfers at the Sea-King District girls golf tournament May 19 at Riverbend Golf Complex, there were moments of peril.

But just as they have throughout the sea-son, the Wolverines persevered, as Rachel Harmeyer, Susie Park, Ti� any Huang and Lauren Patrick each earned a top-20 � nish and spot at the 3A state girls golf tourna-ment.

“� ey played it shot-by-shot,” Bellevue head coach Tori Marcum said. “It was re-

ally anybody’s spot.” Harmeyer � red an 86 to lead the Wol-

verines, and survived an eight on number 10 a� er � nishing the front nine in a tie for second. Patrick bounced back from a 10 on the sixth hole to shoot 44 on the back nine and � nish at 94, tied with Interlake’s Delaney Douglas for the � nal two spots above the cutline.

“� ey all had holes they blew up on,” Marcum said. “� e biggest thing was their positive attitudes.”

Interlake sending three to state

The Saints also left with its full com-pliment of golfers still intact for the state tournament, as Douglas, Aleana Groen-hout and Nhi Nguyen all kept their seasons alive and advanced to state.

Groenhout was tied for the nine hole lead after shooting 38, and finished in a tie for fourth place at 83 with McK-enna Boit of Eastside Catholic. Nguyen avoided trouble for most of the day, save for a seven on the number six, to end the tournament in sixth place with an 84.

With its season on the line in the first round of the 3A KingCo softball tournament, Bellevue was down to its final hope with two outs in the seventh inning against Mercer Island.

Thankfully for the Wolverines, that hope came in the form of Kristie Bennett.

Bennett hit a three run walk-off home run to beat the Islanders 7-6 and keep her team’s postseason run alive, sending them to the Sea-King district tourna-ment in the process.

Bellevue came back to beat Seattle Prep in the first round at the district tournament May 21, before losing to Holy Names in a winner-to-state quarterfinal. The Wolverines met West Seattle after the Reporter’s dead-line in another loser-out game.

A win in that game meant a winner-to-state, loser-out matchup in the fifth place game against either Eastside Catholic or Liberty, also May 22.

Newport chases 4A state berthNewport was two wins from a state tournament spot

at the Reporter’s deadline, after taking the long road through the 4A KingCo softball tournament.

The Knights beat Bothell 6-5 in the opening round, as Sydney Tomlinson had three RBI and Kaitlin Sah-linger knocked in two more.

Kat Wood worked a complete game in the circle for the Knights, striking out 10, sending her team to a winner-to-state semifinal against Woodinville.

The Knights were unable to punch a state ticket in an 11-1 loss to the Falcons, but rebounded to beat East-lake 11-7 in a loser-out game May 20.

Wood struck out two in a complete game perfor-mance, with Tomlinson providing a big day at the plate with five RBI.

Elle Stegman knocked in three more, as Newport pounded out 12 hits to get the win and keep its season alive.

The Knights faced Skyline at Inglemoor in the third place, loser-out game May 22, with a spot in the dis-trict crossover game on the line.

The third place finisher from KingCo will meet the third place team from 4A Wesco for the district’s final state tournament spot.

Douglas made an eight on number 12 and another at the most inopportune time on the 18th and � nal hole, but managed to � nish one stroke above the cutline to punch another state tournament ticket.

� e 3A girls golf state tournament is May 28-29 at Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland.

Marcum said the Bel-levue and Interlake teams will share a practice course in preparation for state.

“� e hardest part is over,” she said. “� ey have practiced the whole year for this, and they have arrived.”

Rachel Fujitani of Mercer Island shot 75 to win the in-dividual title by one stroke of Sarah Rhee of Ingraham. � e Islanders also took the team scoring championship in front of Interlake and third place Bellevue.

Interlake senior Aleana Groenhout will be at her fourth state tournament, after finishing in a tie for fourth at the 3A Sea-King District meet at Riverbend Golf Complex in Kent. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter

During the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival, the Bellevue Reporter will present its week-ly picks of � lms playing at the Lincoln Square Cinemas and other venues.

DamNation | May 28 at Lincoln Square Cinemas. 92 min.

Coming out of the Northwest, Ben Knight’s and Travis Rummel’s “Dam-Nation” examines the history of dams in the United States and their impact on the ecosystems they interrupt.

� ough the documentary techni-cally lives up to its promise to talk to both the proponents and opponents of dams, the � lmmakers make it clear — through Knight’s narration, the selection of interview subjects and the soundtrack choices — they sympathize with the opposition. � is � lm can also rightly be described as a “stunt documentary” for several im-pressive setpieces in which the � lm-makers kayak into federally owned waters, follow activist Mikal Jakubal on an act of large-scale benevolent vandalism and discreetly � lm the blasting of the Glines Canyon Dam.

In presenting the problems stem-ming from dams, the movie is � lled with excellent information about the shortcomings and dangers of salmon released from mitigation hatcheries. Arguments on the beauty lost from dammed ecosystems are necessar-ily anecdotal and largely depend on post-production choices to drive their point home.

But Knight and Rummel deserve accolades for presenting potentially dry subject matter in a way that is riv-eting, slick and supremely watchable.Not My Type | May 27 at Lincoln Square, June 1 at Egyptian � eatre, June 6 at AMC Paci� c Place 11. 111 min.

In the hands of an American studio,

Lucas Belvaux’s “Not My Type” might have reached screens as a typical “op-posites attract” story. In the case of

this French production, the opposites are stoic philosophy professor Clem-ent (Loïc Corbery) and bubbly hair-dresser Jennifer (Émilie Dequenne). Clement is devastated to discover he is being transferred from his beloved Paris to a post in the northern city of Arras, but he quickly takes up with Jennifer and begins an involved relationship.

All the typical tropes of standard romance stories are here — the meet-cute, the honeymoon period, the break-up and the make-up — but they’re subdued to a whisper. � e movie constantly subverts our expec-tations of what will come next. And no sooner are expectations reset then they’re shattered completely.

To understand this movie, you have to understand its thesis. � ere’s a scene where the primary characters reconcile over the phone, a scene

Song, dance and fun in ‘Funny Girl’BY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

When “Funny Girl” was being cast for its � rst run, producer Ray Stark searched far and wide for an actress capable of playing the talented and unconventionally beau-tiful Fanny Brice. � at actress would turn out to be Barbra Streisand, who delighted Stark with her performance chops and horri� ed his wife with her thri� shop couture, as re-called in a later interview given by composer Jule Styne.

Sarah Rose Davis, the actress who plays Brice in Village � eatre’s production of Funny Girl, has to be exhaustively gawked up and geeked out by her costumers to match the woman described in “If A Girl Isn’t Pretty.” But by the time the show reaches “I’m the Greatest Star,” Davis proves be-yond a shadow of a doubt why she’s there, bouncing from pushy to pleading to soulful to catty, bratty, soulful and back again. � e � rst-time lead demonstrates a remarkable agility of performance and comic timing.

Good, because “Funny Girl,” despite its large ensemble, is a show that lives and dies on its Brice. Even the primary plot points of the vaudevillian’s � ctionalized biography are mere vehicles to truck the audience toward the next song-and-dance spectacular.

� e supporting cast and ensemble back Davis wonder-fully, � lling the set pieces with the peculiar Brooklish honk that can never seem to be over exaggerated, and believably recreating the uniquely in-your-face intimacy of a New York circle of friends.

� e � eet-footed John David Scott is a standout as dance director Eddie Ryan, the puppyish friend and man-in-waiting to Brice. His tap dance routine early in the show is a sight to behold and will leave you wanting more, even if you’ve never thought about tap once in your life.

� e one dull spot on this practically Technicolor produc-tion arrives in the story’s driving romance between Brice and Nick Arnstein (Logan Benedict). It’s a shortcoming

that’s hard to put into words. Tall, dark, hand-some and mustachioed, Benedict is a dead ringer for a dashing 1920s gentle-man. His deep, resonant voice is period perfect and reminiscent of classic radio drama. He never falters, wavers or stumbles in his performance. All the pieces are there, yet they come together imperfectly. Arn-stein’s love a� air with Brice seems to simply go through the motions of “and then, and then, and then” until the next song-and-dance number arrives.

But what a song-and-dance it will be! � e journey’s all well and good but, in this show, it’s the destinations that matter.

being so cold, so angry, so inadequate as a partner. But here -- because we already know what’s being said, from years of training by pop culture -- we’re treated only to the reactions on the other end of the line. Those reactions are what “Not My Type” is concerned with -- not what’s happening, but what’s happening out of sight. Even knowing this, the ending of the film is a baffler. But perhaps it’s only challenging the viewer to dig deeper, finding the buried clues that barely grazed top soil.
