As the days leading up to the general election tick away, the 2015 Bellevue City Council candi-dates are trying to tackle the city’s growing pains. Transportation and affordable housing are key issues put forth by each candidate – the difference between them comes from how they would tackle those issues.

Bellevue’s voters have a choice between sending the council on a fiscally conservative or more of a moderate path by Election Day, Nov. 3.

Seven candidates are compet-ing for four spots, three of them contested.

The Reporter spoke with the candidates to talk about their plans, strengths and weaknesses.

Council member John Stokes is unopposed as for Position 1.

For Position 3, incumbent John Chelminiak is pitted against long-time Bellevue resident and former council member Don Davidson.

Chelminiak has experience working for conservative King County officials in the past, but has deviated from the Republican line in recent years, making him a relatively independent voice on the council. He supports more public funding for A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) for affordable housing.

Davidson steered Bellevue through some important, forma-tive years and began contentious work with Sound Transit before health issues and a loss in a three-way primary in 2013 caused him to step away from politics. He looks toward a measured ap-proach on the East Side Rail Line.

Davidson believes public fund-ing for ARCH should be a last resort, and other organizations

for affordable housing should be looked at.

The Position 5 race will see Mi-chelle Hilhorst, an IT operations manager, go up against a pharma-ceutical executive with a different tack in Vandana Slatter.

Hilhorst is the Chair of the Bel-levue Planning Commission and believes her experience and vision for the city are a good fit on the city council.

Slatter believes encouraging businesses to set up shop in Bel-levue is the key to a prosperous city.

Position 7 will be decided between land-use lawyer and incumbent Jennifer Robertson and alternative transportation advocate Lyndon Heywood.

Heywood is a firebrand who wants to reform the City Coun-cil and get money out of local politics.

The Seattle Seahawks have rein-stated fullback Derrick Coleman after initially suspending him due to his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run in Bellevue last week that seriously injured one person.

Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll announced Oct. 19 during his weekly press conference that Coleman would begin playing once cleared by a doc-tor. The announcement came after the team’s loss against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 18.

The Bellevue Police responded to the situation around 1:45 p.m. that afternoon after receiving a call from a Good to Go! official.

In the midst of the myriad of construc-tion cranes in Downtown Bellevue – a number of which are for the Lincoln Square expansion – the future that longtime local developer Kemper Freeman has seen for Bellevue is finally on the horizon.

“It’s taken a long time to kind of tran-scend from a traditional suburb to some-thing more urban, and at first we kind of went through what I call the pimply, adolescent stage,” said Freeman. “It was always clear to those of us in the industry that it was coming, it was just a question of how much and how fast.”

During Freeman’s own adolescent years in Bellevue, planning for the city was still being conducted by King County. It’s func-tion was as the subregional city to Seattle – essentially, the little sister city.

Fast forward some decades later, and Bel-levue now brings in more retail and restau-rant sales than Seattle, as well as drawing customers from throughout Washington, British Columbia and Alaska.

Last year, Downtown Bellevue made $40 million more in retail and dining sales than Downtown Seattle, a role-reversal from the last time Kemper Development did research on those numbers 10 years ago, Freeman said. “Bellevue is beginning to emerge in certain areas, retail and restau-rant sales being two of those,” he said.

Between 10 and 20 percent of the Bel-levue Collection’s annual business is now made up of travelers coming to Bellevue specifically for multiple-day trips to shop, dine and more.

With the construction beginning on the Global Innovation Exchange and the Mira-dor over the last few months, Bellevue also is seeing more international investment than at any point in its history, a fact that is not lost on Freeman.

“I think it’s amazing. What’s beautiful about it is that they’re bringing capital with them and are going to make things hap-pen,” he said.

As the city changes, The Bellevue Col-lection is also evolving. The traditional concept of anchoring smaller stores around larger, chain retailers or department stores

is something that Kemper Development is moving away from.

While Bellevue Square was once sup-ported by four department stores, they are currently down to two (Macy’s and Nordstrom) after the slow demise of J.C. Penney. While Nordstrom's sales continue to grow – the Bellevue Square location is currently the top-selling store in the United State, beating out the 40,000-square-foot larger flagship store in Seattle – Macy's is struggling to find it’s footing, said Freeman.

“We’re in the top handful of their stores, but they’re not doing what they could be doing,” he said of Macy’s sales.

On the other hand, speciality stores are bringing in big business and fresh ideas.

“For the most part, a lot of the talent isn’t at the major stores anymore. The people who are great merchants and entrepreneurs went and started specialty stores that now outperform major stores two-to-one in an average shopping center,” said Freeman.

In all, seven smaller stores will fill the space once occupied by J.C. Penney, and the majority will each bring in more busi-ness in a year than J.C. Penney.

For six days this summer, Bellevue Col-lege became a Hollywood set of sorts, and its students joined the ranks of profession-als to film an innovative new movie.

Cameras, production crew members and actors filled main campus to film “Pendulum,” a film about a disgraced journalist who teams up with a reluctant veteran detective to investigate the death of a young girl. The script is full of murder, politics and intrigue, bringing to mind HBO’s hit miniseries “True Detective”, said Judith Lindsay-Kiama, a Bellevue College film student and one of the movie’s co-producers.

The majority of the more than 50 crew members were Bellevue College Digital Media Arts and Advanced Track video stu-dents and alumni, and it was produced by Lindsay-Kiama and fellow student Robin Steel Haaseth.

The two met after doing one of the 48-hour film projects at Bellevue College, and realized that the school had the amenities to produce a professional film production. Happening upon the script for “Pendu-lum,” the two decided to pitch Bellevue as a location.

The movie was directed by Kahlil Silver and stars award-winning Australian actor and Bellevue-resident Paul Eenhoorn.

Originally, Silver wanted to shoot the film in Tacoma because of the city’s gritty look, but Haaseth and Lindsay-Kiama convinced him otherwise.

“Bellevue has really grown up, and I just thought it would just have a beautiful look,” said Lindsay-Kiama. “The City of Bellevue and Bellevue College rolled out the red carpet, even without prompting.”

Permits and fees were waived for the film, and the Bellevue College campus and technology resources were open to the crew. “It was truly a pleasure to work with Bellevue College students on set because they were so eager to learn and work,” Silver said in a press release. “No one ever lacked an ounce of enthusiasm during the filming of ‘Pendulum’. It was a blast to work with so many young people who represent the future of cinema.”

At the end of filming, three students re-ceived job offers from Silver: Ben Shahabi, Ellison Sheih and Titus Richard.

Haaseth and Lindsay-Kiama are con-tinuing to work on the project and are heading to Los Angeles next week to find investors to produce either a full two-hour film or a television series. Altogether, the crew working in Bellevue this summer produced the first 20 minutes of the script as a sort of preview to produce interest and

This past month, I as a Regional Publisher, have had the opportunity to both moderate and co- sponsor a number of candidate forums here on the Eastside.

While each of the candidates came from different back-grounds and certainly held different perspectives on many important issues, there is common thread that unites them all - the desire to serve their community and to make it a

better place to live, work and play. We at the Bellevue Reporter certainly applaud that ethos .

Here at the Reporter, our ethos has been to better serve Bellevue by devoting greater time and effort toward getting to know each candidate and to educate our loyal readers about them. To ask the tough questions about the challeng-ing issues that the new city council will grapple with as the cities moves toward the future.

Your vote is your right as an American. But we at the Reporter also strongly feel that with your vote comes the individual responsibility of increased knowledge and information about the candidates and the issues they will face. We feel that with our mission to educate our readers about the candidates, we have a greater responsibility not to endorse , but to be a valued and impartial resource that will empower your vote with knowledge.

An impartial resource

WILLIAM SHAW

Hilhorst will make a differenceI serve on the Bellevue Planning Commission and I have

had the privilege of watching Michelle Hilhorst in action as the chair of the commission.

Michelle is not running for office – she is running to make a difference to our community.

She is a child of immigrant parents; a senior female leader in our local IT industry; mother of school-going children in our district; and I have watched her serve as a conscience for our community, committed to enhancing Bellevue’s future while embracing our heritage.

She is a go-getter, with conviction towards sustaining

our vibrant neighborhoods; strengthening our citizen engagement; and ensuring that the growing needs of our community, our businesses, and our children are met (and exceeded).

As a technology leader, she has a vision for our city to serve as a lighthouse and attract emerging businesses; as a senior woman leader, she is committed to sustaining and growing our community - one where every member of our broader family has the opportunity to achieve their potential; and as a strong advocate for education and our children, she is focused on making Bellevue the best that it can be – working with each and every one of us.

Please vote for Michelle for Bellevue City Council.John deVadoss, Bellevue

Slatter ideal choice for councilOf the two highly accomplished professional women

seeking election to Bellevue City Council Position 5, Van-dana Slatter stands out as the ideal choice to help shape our community’s future.

Issues facing Bellevue in 2016 demand an original, creative approach that incorporates solid analytical skills, a collaborative style, and a passion to address the needs of all people in a growing and diverse community.

On the transportation front, Bellevue’s growth and congestion issues are bound up in a regional transporta-tion dilemma that requires skilled analysis and a steady determination to move forward in a collaborative fashion with new, efficient solutions.

On the human services front, the city council is just beginning to acknowledge the crisis we face in housing and nourishing those who serve us – in Bellevue jobs that can-not sustain Bellevue families.

Vandana Slatter is smart and analytical; she holds a doctorate in pharmacy and a master’s degree in public administration. She’s respected for her teamwork as well as her decision-making skills, evidenced by her volunteer efforts as a member of the Overlake Hospital Foundation Board and the Children’s Institute for Learning Differences, among others.

Even more important, as the successful daughter of upwardly mobile immigrants, Vandana comes from a background that resonates in today’s Bellevue. Her family values ring true for the future – hard work, education, dedication to family and community. Bellevue needs both passion and compassion, as well as intelligence, to meet its challenges, and Vandana is the person to bring these to the

city council in the next four years. Voters should not miss this chance to vote for a strong

new voice on the city council.Cheryl Kuhn, Bellevue

Slatter will listen to usA few years ago, rancor among its members tore apart

the Bellevue City Council and stalled significant decision-making. These conflicts ended after the election of the current council.

Claudia Balducci is leaving, and we need someone who will demonstrate the same willingness to listen to con-stituents, consider conflicting opinions, and engage in civil discourse.

That someone is Vandana Slatter. Vandana is a strong advocate for maintaining Bellevue’s quality of life for all its residents, which applies to public safety, available social services, and transportation solutions, among other issues. She will maintain open communication with members of the public about their concerns.

She is quick study, and through her career in the biotech industry, has become skilled at approaching complex problems with data. She has been endorsed by the “Seattle Times,” state leaders and four current city council mem-bers.

I’m confident that a vote for Vandana is a vote for a city council that can accomplish a great deal without conflict.

A new Ford vehicle sits in front of the burned remnants of the AutoNation Ford dealership in Bellevue. Work to rebuild the structure could begin soon if environmental thresholds are met.

Ford dealership to rebuild after fireBY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

Months after a fire destroyed the AutoNation Ford dealership on 116th Avenue Northeast, plans are un-derway to reconstruct the dealership with full sales and service.

An application for a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Threshold Determination was filed last week as the most recent step in the process to rebuild the dealer-ship. The applicant would have to show construction on the property would have minimal environmental impact to be approved and open the way for other permits.

A fire on April 25 destroyed the building and left around 30 smoldering wrecks of vehicles on the property and the business in a lurch. Investigators could not deter-mine the cause of the blaze, other than that it started in the service department. Arson was not suspected.

Despite the losses the company suffereed, no employ-ees were laid off. The more than 70 employees employed at the time of the fire were put to work in on-site trailers or off-site service areas.

The permit has plans for a 34,693-square-foot build-ing. The SEPA Threshold Determination would look at potential environmental impact for reconstructing the dealership.

The building would be constructed on the former loca-tion at 411 116th Ave. N.E.

According to the application, some concrete walls from the burned building remain on site and some walls and concrete slab will be left intact in the reconstruction.

The current plans are to open the service area in Feb-ruary 2016 and the sales floor in the summer or fall of that year.

The employees of the dealership will continue opera-tions either on-site or at an off-site service location dur-ing construction.

Bel-Red homes wait for permits BY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

A new housing project in the Bel-Red corridor has entered the final stages of permitting, and looks to begin construc-tion in the first quarter of 2016.

The Bel-Red Road Townhomes will have 12 units on the 1.69-acre lot, which is backed up against Kelsey Creek on the south side of Bel-Red Road. Between 24 and 48 residents are expected.

There is no current development on the property, 13605 North-east Bel-Red Road, and it remains a copse of shady trees bordered by North-

east 14th Street on its southern edge and Kelsey Creek to the east.

Surrounding proper-ties are commercial and multi-family residential.

GIS Development submitted the applications for design review approval and a critical areas land use permit.

Planned construction would go for about 10 months, ending some time in late 2016 or early 2017 according to the ap-plication.

No construction or grading is planned within Kelsey Creek’s floodplain.

A public meeting about the proposed project will be held 7 p.m. Oct. 28. at Bellevue City Hall.


Americans are living longer. Home val-ues are up. And for many senior citi-zens, their home is their single biggest asset, oft en accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefi t from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Th ompson.“You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Th ompson. NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain

in their homes. “Th ey’re simply an eff ective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Th ompson. Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater

protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefi t of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash fl ow, a huge blessing for those on a fi xed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefi t from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. Th at’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfi ed with their reverse mortgages. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Daniel Daoura was en-joying an afternoon with his daughter at the Puyal-lup Fair last month when the young girl bolted into the crowds. Having lost eyesight of her, he panicked momentarily before reaching for his phone and opening up his Pebblebee app. Daoura, one of the company’s co-founders, had hap-pened to put one of the small Bluetooth tracking devices in his daughter’s pocket and quickly found her, mischievously stand-ing near the cotton candy booth.

About the size of half dollar coin and weigh-ing next to nothing, Pebblebee’s flagship device called the Honey is a short-range tracking device that can be at-tached to nearly anything and be located in the 150 foot range using their Android and iPhone app, although Dauora said it’s not intended for use with

children. The idea for the device

was started with children in mind though after co-founder Nick Pearson-Franks’ toddler son began hiding stuff around the house. “I kept thinking to myself, ‘How is this such a hard problem to solve?’” the former Boe-ing employee said.

Since it’s launch, Dauora and Pearson-Franks have heard stories ranging from people us-ing their Honey trackers to find missing purses to missing turtles. The accompanying app also uses crowd GPS from all users to search for items marked lost by other users.

What started as a small project has now grown to a 20 employee business. Their new 4,000-square-foot Bellevue location is double the size of their previous Kirkland offices, and is their fourth loca-tion.

An IndieGoGo cam-paign for the product eas-ily surpassed the $20,000

fundraising goal and has sold more than 100,000 units in less than a year. “It was just overwhelm-ing, we never would have predicted that success. We just thought it would be a side project,” said Pearson-Franks.

For the last two years, Pebblebee has competed to create the best Blue-tooth device for miss-ing items in the rapidly growing market. But the start-up, which moved to Bellevue in Septem-ber, is on the brink of expanding their reach and launching two new products that will build on the Honey.

Bluetooth GPS technol-ogy is a growing industry, and Pebblebee has its competitors. Despite the similar price points, the Pebblebee team say their products have a better life expectancy, battery life, more features and more.

Their new Bellevue office houses a laboratory that the team is using to test their new products. As opposed to many oth-er companies, everything in the Pebblebee products is made in the United States and engineered

in-house, according to Pearson-Franks.

Pebblebee also has a wider range of products than their competitors, he added.

Launching in late No-vember to early Decem-ber, Pebblebee’s second product – the Stone – will include a GPS tracker but also includes a button that can be programmed to send quick text mes-sages, control music, take photos and more. “The stone emerged because it became clear that there’s a lot of stuff you can do with a button function,’ said Pearson-Franks.

The team is also work-ing on a third product, the Dragon, that will be launched at the same time or shortly after the Stone and match 3-D mo-tions made while holding the device to tasks.

The array of Pebblebee products cost between $24.99 and $60 apiece, and are available online and in Target stores. More information can be found at https://pebble-bee.com/.

October 12No brotherly love: A suspect assaulted his brother in Bellevue and then fled to his home in Yar-row Point. Officers went to Yarrow Point, and the suspect eventu-ally surrendered to police and was booked into Issaquah Jail for assault.

October 13Wrong turn: A driver decided to make a U-Turn in the 5500 block of Coal Creek Parkway, and ended up causing a three-vehicle accident. There were minor injuries reported.

October 14Lunch break: Two officers ob-served two vehicles racing on 140th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 24th Street. Both drivers were stopped, arrested for reckless driv-ing, and booked into SCORE in Des Moines. The occupants of both vehicles knew one another and all involved were on their lunch break from work.Casual criminal: A homeowner heard a burglar inside his residence and challenged the suspect, who exited the residence and casually walked away until the homeowner began to chase him down the street. The suspect ran from the home-owner and got away, having taken a woman’s purse and a tablet.

October 15Nighttime visitor: The victim was sleeping when he was awakened by suspect going through his bedroom on 98th Avenue Northeast. The sus-pect, of unknown race male, 5’9” - 5’11” tall with a thin build, wearing gray sweatpants and faded green hoodie, then fled the scene. Take that, Dad!: A suspect as-saulted his father by punching him on the side of the head while they were driving along 140th Avenue Southeast. The suspect was arrested and booked in jail.Batter up: Officers were dispatched to the homeless shelter on 120th Avenue Northeast regarding a male subject chasing people with a base-ball bat. Multiple officers responded and found many people standing outside the shelter claiming a dis-turbance had occurred. Ultimately, a female victim was identified that wanted to press charges for assault, saying that the male suspect had hit her in the buttocks with a bat. The suspect was uncooperative, but with a large police presence was taken into custody without problems. The suspect was booked into SCORE in Des Moines for 4th degree assault.

October 16Test drive?: An auto detailer who worked at Jaguar of Bellevue and did not have any reason to be in a Jaguar XF parked in the lot, was seen on camera getting in the car and driving away. He did not finish his shift and called in sick to work the next day.

October 17

Gunning it: Two Bellevue po-lice officers responded to a single vehicle traffic accident that was determined to be in Redmond. Following Redmond’s investigation, the driver asked to relieve himself behind Les Schwab, which police refused. Officers were then con-tacted by a janitor who observed the driver and another individual dump a couple items that resembled weapons in the back lot of Les Schwab. A quick check revealed a HK 9mm and a M4 5.56 rifle. It is unknown why they stashed their arsenal in Bellevue.

October 18Bad sport: The victim was referee-ing an adult soccer league game at Robinswood park and attempted to eject a player who was protesting a penalty that had been called. Once the red card (which ejects a player from a game) was displayed, the suspect punched the victim in the face and then kicked him twice.Fueled up and ready to go: The victim had his Suburban stolen after leaving it running while pump-ing gas at the Chevron on Bel-Red Road.Prowling and more: An officer contacted the suspect, who had had multiple run-ins with security that day, attempting to steal a newer BMW after he had already prowled a car in the same garage. He had removed the door handle to the BMW, but had not made entry yet. He admitted to using meth (and had some on him), attempting to steal the car and prowling the other car.

The BlotterPolice reports from Bellevue


The Bellevue City Council officially passed a motion to transfer water and sewer operations of two neighborhoods to the city of Issaquah on Monday night.

The neighborhoods, South Cove and Green-wood Point, were annexed by Issaquah from unin-corporated King County in 2006, but the water and sewer utilities remained in Bellevue’s hands. The result of the transfer of utilities will show itself in a bill increase for ratepayers of Bellevue.

Bellevue’s Deputy Utili-ties Director Andrew Lee said the eight-year wait was just a matter of priorities.

“It didn’t happen for a long time,” he said. “It was just the government getting around to more important

matters first. It wasn’t a priority for Bellevue.”

It wasn’t hard to see why. Bellevue annually earned more than $1.4 million in revenue from the neighbor-hoods’ water and sewer service, more than $500,000 of that was net gain for the city’s general fund.

More than 1,000 ratepay-ers live in the two neigh-borhoods, which comprise 380 acres.

The loss of revenue from South Cove and Greenwood Point will have ratepayers in Bellevue pay 72 cents more per month on average on their utility bills. Those 1,000 ratepayers represent about 2.5 percent of the number of payers and about 1.5 percent of the city’s revenue base.

Lee said Bellevue and Issaquah had worked together in good faith since the latter city had made tak-

ANDY NYSTROMREPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Alton Brown is a firm believer that home cooking can bring the philosophy of self-reliance from the notebook to the kitchen stove.

“Cooking at home fixes almost everything,” Brown told a crowd of almost 1,800 at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center on Monday during Hopelink’s 20th Annual Reaching Out Luncheon to benefit the Redmond-based organiza-tion, which reached its goal of raising $1 million. The funds will provide food, shelter, family develop-ment, transportation and job readiness skills for homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities in north and east King County.

“Cooking at home gives you better nutri-tion, far better cost per meal, it’s family building. Families that cook to-

gether often stay together. It gives you confidence, it creates community,” added the quirky, award-winning Food Network personality.

Before the luncheon, Brown told the Reporter that as a child, he always hung around the kitchen with his aunts, grandmoth-ers and mother, soaking up the familial, culinary atmosphere of voices and laughter and pots and pans clanking about.

“I always liked being in the kitchen. Usually, ‘cause there was something good to lick. Let’s face it, they’re fun places to be and tasty places to be,” said Brown, who noted that he got into cooking to attract girls in college.

“I had a pathetic social life and I found that girls that would say ‘no’ when

you asked them out, and you offered to cook for them, were often intrigued enough to actually go home with you,” he added. “Then you have to back it up with skills. It worked out OK, but then I found that it was just really great to be able to do anyway. And then I kind of got ad-

dicted to this self-reliance of it, you know, ‘I’m gonna make my own bacon, I don’t need anybody to make my bacon for me’ and stuff like that.”

After college, Brown delved into a career of directing TV commercials,

Traffic news: I-90 to close lanes this weekend, 4th Street extension opensI-90 reduced to one lane

Interstate 90 will be reduced to one lane in Seattle this weekend, Oct. 23 to 26, to upgrade operations and safety systems in the freeway’s tunnels.

At 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23, crews working for the Wash-ington State Department of Transportation and Sound Transit will reduce eastbound traffic on I-90 near Rainier Avenue South to one lane until 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 26.

The reduction will stretch across Lake Washington to Bellevue Way Southeast, and traffic will be rerouted to the express lanes.

The Department of Transportation recommends drivers check the Seattle traffic website (http://www.wsdot.com/traffic/seattle/default.aspx) or call 511 for traffic informa-tion.

Fourth Street extension opensA new extension of a major Bellevue arterial street

opened, Thursday, Oct. 15, providing easier access to downtown from a shopping complex.

The new NE 4th Street extension runs from 116th Avenue NE to 120th Avenue NE, dividing what was previ-ously a parking lot between the Home Depot and Best Buy stores.

Some changes to lanes heading north from I-405 to-ward the 116th Avenue intersection include reducing the number of left turn lanes from two to one, and a new lane headed east. An officer was on hand for the first few days to assist drivers with traffic resulting from the changes.

The quarter-mile extension is one phase of the Wil-burton Connections effort, designed to improve mobility between downtown, the Bel-Red corridor and Overlake.

Other phases of that project include a NE 6th Street extension, a NE 5th Street neighborhood traffic plan and a widening of 120th Avenue NE.

ELECTIONCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Robertson wants to maintain the strong neighbor-hood ties in Bellevue while anticipating the wave of population growth predicted to hit the city in the next decade. She sees the proper way to address the coming growth is careful planning and fiscal conservatism.

Heywood wants to expand transit, pedestrian and cycling alternatives in lieu of more roads, which would lead to a safer and friendlier city, he believes. He wants a bigger city council to include more of the neighbor-hoods of the city and be more representative.

Council Position 3BY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

In seeking re-election, John Chelminiak said that the future of Bellevue is vital to making the city a safe and accessible one, and he hopes his continuing presence on the city council will be the right fit to get it that way.

“I’m excited to be where we are as a city council,” he said. “We are working very well together and are very much focused on the future of the city.”

This future depends on major road and transit projects which Chelminiak has helped plan and approve, he said. First among these are the light rail project and connecting downtown to the Bel-Red corridor and other parts of the city, he said.

And for the coming growth on the Eastside, Bellevue has a responsi-bility to have options for affordable housing.

“When people hear that,

they think of lower-income workers,” Chelminiak said. “But we want to have af-fordable options for people who are doing well, maybe families moving along in life. We want the whole spectrum to be available.”

A refocus on neighborhoods and bolstering the Neighborhood Enhancement Pro-gram would allow different neighbor-hoods to have say on various policies and actions, Chel-miniak said.

This expected growth comes with a set of its own is-

sues as well. “Public safety is some-

thing we have to consider. We’re a much larger city than we once were,” he said. “That comes with more criminal activity. We also have really major events like the fireworks and the Strawberry Festi-val. We’ve got to prepare for gentle crowd control.”

A connection with Kirkland’s trails system is another hope of Chelmin-iak’s for the future.


Don Davidson is throwing his considerable experience back in the ring of local politics because he feels like he left things unfinished last time he was in office.

The 76-year-old, two-time mayor left the Bellevue City Council two years ago, citing health reasons. He is running against in-cumbent John Chelminiak for Position 3.

“What happened was when you are on the outside looking in, you see things differently,” he said. “I don’t think Sound Transit should be going through Mercer Slough.”

After setting up the ini-tial contact and subsequent planning with Sound Tran-sit, Davidson said the city government failed its duty to the people by allowing the rail line to head straight through the nature park.

The self-described conservative said he has an

environmental streak, and the line through the park came about as a result of the city council ignoring citizen comment.

“I did testify about the plans, and everyone was trying to make it sound

like I had changed my mind,” Da-vidson said. “I’m running against an incumbent because I wanted to make sure there was new blood on the council.”

The key facets of his platform are improving trans-

portation in the city, protecting the character of Bel-

levue’s neighborhoods and running an “effective and efficient” government.

Davidson said if elected, he would like to get to know the workings of the current council before mov-ing on important growth issues.

“How we get to the solution is what makes the difference,” he said. “The Eastside still doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up, and it’s up to us to look at that big picture.”

Vandana Slatter wants a fresh look on the Bellevue City Council.

She believes the council lacks a sense of diversity when it comes to different viewpoints.

“I’m running be-cause many neigh-borhoods and com-munities do not feel represented,” she said. “We are a great city and we have a achieved a lot, but there needs to be a broader set of views.”

Slatter is compet-ing against Michelle Hilhorst for council position 5.

Slatter, a new drug “problem solver” at a pharmaceutical compa-ny, believes her business experience will provide a new perspective on the council.

“There are some other views which need to be on the council, and we are hearing the same sort of voices,” she said. “As the city has grown, maybe [the council] should grow as well.”

She has a doctorate in pharmacol-ogy and a masters in public admin-istration through the University of Washington. The Canadian-born Slatter thinks “ethnic” and foreign-

born residents need more input.

Making sure the citizens and differ-ent neighborhoods are represented is key to Slatter’s platform, but keeping Bellevue a place where innova-tive companies want to do business is vitally important as well, she said.

“We’ve got to have a regional vision,” she said. “It was an issue brought up when Expe-

dia left Bellevue. How do we attract and retain innovation? That is some-thing we need to look into.”

While Slatter respects her op-ponent’s experience on the planning commission, she believes her differ-ent way of looking at city issues will be valuable.

“Those perspectives are great and I respect those perspectives,” she said. “But they are represented very well on the city council. We need fresh ideas.”


Michelle Hilhorst touts her years of community involvement and volunteer experience as the biggest reasons why she should be on the Bellevue City Council.

“I’m running because I have a long history of community experience and advocacy,” she said. “I’ve worked on the compre-hensive plan, the blueprint for the city’s future, and I want to help implement it.”

Hilhorst is competing against Vandana Slatter for council posi-tion 5.

Part of the future includes maintaining a high level of pub-lic safety. Should she win, Hil-horst said priority number one would be to get work moving on a downtown fire station.

“One of the basic functions of city government is to provide for public safety,” she said. “And the

lack of a downtown fire station is a problem. I want to make that front of the line in 2016.”

She also said that with rising crime rates, Bellevue must make sure it allocates enough resourc-

es for law enforce-ment.

Affordable hous-ing is another issue Hilhorst wants to tackle, as she feels people on the lower socio-economic end of finances can’t afford to make Bel-levue their home.

“We have major growth upcom-ing,” she said. “I want to be sure we have housing for everyone without

“I’ve been working as a com-munity advocate for more than a decade,” she said. “I think it’s just logical for me to serve at the next level.”

• Broad support from leaders, neigh-bors, business and labor across Bellevue due to her proven track record of putting PEOPLE before politics EVERY TIME.


Bellevue City Council incum-bent Jennifer Robertson sees the coming growth of the Eastside as an opportunity to plan ahead lest the city fall behind.

The two-term council member said Bellevue has important choices to make to keep its history while preparing for the future.

She is running for her third term on the council, competing against challenger Lyndon Heywood for council position 7.

“I’m so invested in this city,” Robertson said. “I want to make sure the Bellevue of the future has the aspects of the Bellevue of the past and present: Great parks, the vital economic activity, the great schools.”

With Bellevue expected to continue its current growth, Robertson said making sure the

city’s reputation as a business hub continues as well. Diversifying transportation is a mission both candidates see as paramount to avoid headaches in the city’s

future.“Land use and

transportation are the two biggest things we have to focus on,” she said. “We want the neighborhoods to stay as high quality as they have been while adding buses, light rail and bicycle trails. Basically making sure the light rail con-struction is as least disruptive as pos-sible.”

And while growth remains the number one issue for the incumbent, trying to make Bellevue accessible to people of lower economic means is key for her personally.

“Affordable housing is huge,” Robertson said. “Land values are so high that the people who grew up here can’t afford to stay here as adults. I want my daughters to be able to come back here when they grow up.”


Lyndon Heywood is angry with the way Bellevue’s city government is be-ing managed.

He believes there is too much navel-gazing and not enough pro-active planning from Bellevue’s city leaders.

The 42-year-old is challenging in-cumbent Jennifer Robertson for the Position 7 seat of the Bellevue City Council.

“I see a lot wrong and I want to be in a position where I can fight the wrongs,” Heywood said. “This position requires people to work to get things done, and not fo-cusing on our own things. Councilors don’t grasp the is-

sues. They stay on the council for years and years and years and make no impact on a tangible level.”

The U.K.-born naturalized citizen thinks a from-the-bottom shakeup of Bellevue’s city gov-ernment is needed to respond to the city’s needs.

“I’m really concerned about the structure of our government,” he said. “We still have seven people on our council, and we are a lot bigger now than we were when

that number was first chosen.”

He believes that with the rap-idly blurring lines between cities on the Eastside, the amount of com-munication between cities is appalling. He would demand more conversations with neighboring cities if he were elected, he said.

Heywood has been an outspoken cycling and transit advocate, and believes making Bellevue navigable in the future should be one of the city’s top goals.

“After the ac-cident the other day [the Sept. 29 collision on Bel-Red Road which killed a 28-month-old tod-dler] it has become clear to me that Bellevue has always prioritized the car. We’re really back-wards on that.”

The general elec-tion is Nov. 3.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

A quartet of talented golfers have guided the Sammamish Totems boys golf team to a stellar regular season overall record of 8-3.

Sammamish head coach Annette La-Bissoniere, who is in her second season as the Totems’ head coach after leading Yakima’s Eisenhower High School for 13 seasons, said senior Matt Brooks, junior Aidan Thain, sophomore Ryan Park and newcomer Spencer Furman are the Totems top four golfers on the links. The Totems are gearing up for the Class 2A district tournament on Oct. 24.

Each golfer brings a wide assortment of skills to the fairways and putting greens. Brooks hits the ball the fur-thest of any player on the team.

“Matt (Brooks) is about 6 feet, 4 inches tall and he hits the ball farther than about anyone in the league. His distance off the tee is enormous,” La-Bissoniere said. “He has a good short game, too. He averages 37.3 per round (nine holes). You are not going to have that kind of average unless you have a good short game.”

LaBissoniere said Thain, who is left-handed, has improved immensely since

his sophomore season in 2014. Thain’s average this fall is 37.5.

“He is very determined. He worked hard on his game in the off-season. He played in a lot of tournaments and his swing has improved quite a bit,” she said.

Sophomore Ryan Park doesn’t hit the ball the farthest, but is one of the most even-keeled golfers on the team.

“Ryan is Mr. Steady. He is not hitting it as long as the other kids off the tee but he is consistent. You always see him in the fairway and see him playing well on the greens. He was a medalist in most of our matches this year and has an average of 36.5,” LaBissoniere said.

Totems’ senior Spencer Furman had never golfed before turning out for the team in late August. LaBissoniere said Furman was prodded by one of his buddies to try golf for the first time. Furman, who is a nationally ranked tennis player, picked up the sport quickly.

“He never played until six weeks ago. He put a golf club in his hand and now his average is down to 44.8. In the last two matches he shot 41 both times,” LaBissoniere said.

Bellevue Christian Vikings head football coach Todd Green is the kind of guy who is always in constant motion guiding and direct-ing his players in every facet on and off the football field.

Green, who is in his third season as the Vikings’ head coach, played football for Pacific

Lutheran University under the guidance of collegiate coaching legend Frosty Wester-ing in the early 1990s in Parkland. In just his third season at the helm of the Bellevue Christian football pro-gram, the team is be-ginning to see the fruits of their spirited labor on the scoreboard.

The Vikings com-pete in the Class 1A

Division and thus far have put together a 4-3 overall record this season. In Green’s first two seasons on the sidelines, the Vikings compiled a combined record of 4-16.

The significant improvement of the Vikings in “year three” of Green’s tenure is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Nearly 14 months ago, one of the Vikings best players

knew they were heading in the right direction. Prior to the start of the 2014 season, Vikings

running back Dylan Parsons, who is now a senior, said it was an honor and a privilege playing for Green.

“I have been playing three different sports since I was five years old and I have played for a lot of different coaching staffs and I can honestly say that I’ve never seen a coach who is more invested in his players than coach (Todd) Green,” Parsons said in August of 2014. “He cares so much for us and he puts in so much work to makes us not only better players, but better men.”

Green said during spring football practice sessions in early June that he believes whole-heartedly in the late Frosty Westering mantra of competing against your best self on a daily basis.

“I bleed that stuff. That is really what we want to be about as a football team,” Green said of Westering’s coaching philosophy. “We want to use football as a vehicle to invest in these guys, but also teach them that they can be excellent and great at something that glori-fies God and glorifies your teammates. Frosty was a huge influence in my life.”

Frosty passed away in April 2013, but there is no doubt his legacy is living on in Clyde Hill for many years to come.

place from birth to 3 years old. Best Starts funds will strengthen a child’s early develop-

ment, invest at key developmental milestones, and create healthy communities that reinforce their progress.

Early intervention to protect our families’ futures can re-duce the need for costly late-stage interventions for chronic disease, domestic violence, mental illness, and homeless-ness. And it saves money and resources by preventing bad situations, instead of merely responding to them.

The smartest and most responsible investment we can make is in the future of our kids and that is why the YMCA is strongly supporting Best Starts for Kids.

Jeffrey D. Merrifield, Associate Director, HR Strategy & Operations Ernst &

Young LLP; Board Member, Bellevue Family YMCA

Vote for kids’ future successOver the summer, I volunteered at a summer camp for

underprivileged Seattle area kids, aged 6 to 12. On the out-side, these kids appeared identical to their more privileged peers. However, there were some noticeable differences that set these kids apart from others their age. None of them had attended preschool.

While it can be easy to dismiss preschool as a kind of glorified playdate for your 3 year old, in reality, this form of early education could be the key to your child’s future academic success. Studies show that 90 percent of a child’s brain development occurs before the age of 5, and 80 per-cent has already taken place before the age of 4. Preschool programs are designed to take advantage of this important learning window so all children will be ready to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.

The kids I worked with at the summer camp showed many signs of how far behind they are as compared to

their peers who attended preschool. In too many cases, these kids couldn’t attend preschool because their families couldn’t afford the cost. And now these kids are paying a high price: their future success.

As part of my involvement, this summer I hosted a benefit concert to raise awareness about the importance of preschool and a measure, Best Starts for Kids that is on the November ballot.

If passed, Best Starts for Kids will provide high quality early childhood education for underprivileged children in King County. Best Starts for Kids is an investment that will make a huge difference in the lives of our children, thereby benefiting our families, cities, state and country.

Flashing arrows confusingI read your opinion of that dangerous intersection

where the 28-month-old toddler was killed. I don’t like the flashing yellow lights at all and have almost been hit myself. It seems that those flashing yellow lights are not consistent at every intersection and this is confusing.

Do you know what the statistics are for serious ac-cidents since they have installed those flashing yellow lights compared to before? I’ve heard of another family who was hit and sent to the hospital when the flash-ing yellow lights were first installed, but that was a few years ago.

By now it seems everyone should understand them, but when they’re inconsistent at every intersection, it makes matters worse. For example, at some intersec-tions we get a green arrow, then flashing yellow and then red. At other intersections we get a flashing yellow and pull out into the middle of the intersection think-ing it will turn into a green arrow, but it doesn’t - it just goes from flashing yellow to red - and we have a choice but to make our turn while angering the drivers who get a green light crossing traffic.

I am frustrated, confused and sympathetic toward the driver who hit that baby.

Cheryl Wang, Bellevue

Yellow arrows in CanadaI personally like the flashing yellow lights that save

time at most intersections with low traffic.

However, I heard from some of our Canadian neighbors visiting from B.C. that a flashing light means priority for them, which maybe is the reason why some may not yield before turning left on a flashing yellow.

I was always confused by the flashing green arrow in Vancouver, B.C., until I found this explanation online:

In some parts of Canada, a flashing green (known as Advanced Green) light signals permission for a left turn before the opposing traffic is allowed to enter the inter-section, i.e., oncoming traffic is facing a RED light.

Gun availability the issueHow sad that a recent letter writer cannot share in

President Obama’s outrage at the senseless killing of college students in Oregon. Nothing will change unless we all get fed up and funnel that anger towards change.

Every country and every society is faced with men-tally ill or angry people, yet none have the number of gun-related killings that we see in this country, because nowhere are guns as available as they are here. Fewer guns mean fewer gun-related deaths, as evidenced by the changes made in Australia.

As long as gun-rights activists and the NRA fight against any legislation that would tighten access to weapons, we will continue to see these senseless kill-ings. And that is why we all should be outraged.

Irene Scheck, Bellevue

PSE transmission line not essentialRecently Bellevue residents living close to 148th Avenue

received a letter from Puget Sound Energy about the Lake Hills-Phantom Lake 115kV transmission line project. PSE claims that this transmission line is essential to ensure reli-ability of power in East Bellevue.

The letter says that PSE is disappointed with the East Bellevue Community Council’s decision to reject the proj-ect, without mentioning the reasons why the council came to this decision. A point that really stood out to me is that the new transmission line will not have much impact on overall reliability.

Almost all power outages occurring in the area are due to other problems in the distribution system, like tree branches falling on distribution lines during windstorms. Even if the proposed transmission line was present during past years, the number and duration of outages would not have been meaningfully reduced.

Additionally, constructing this transmission line would require the removal of 300 trees from 148th Avenue and Northeast Eighth Street. I drive on 148th a lot, and it really makes my day driving on it. It would be very unfortunate to see that many trees lost, and replaced by power lines that cross over the street several times. The trees are an impor-tant element of this “urban boulevard” that was designed many years ago.

Last but not least, construction of the transmission line would cause one lane of 148th to be closed for four to six months. If you have driven on 148th during peak hours, you know that this is will have huge impacts on commut-ers, businesses and residents of nearby streets.

Instead of taking the community council to court, I ask PSE to take the council’s comments as a representation of what the community thinks about the transmission project and to work with the community more closely on these issues.

Mary Lou Ann GreerMary Lou Ann Greer of Bellevue, Washington passed away

Monday, October 12, 2015 at home. A funeral mass will be said 10:30am, Thursday, October 29th at

ing over the utilities a pri-ority in June 2014.

“This was not a com-petitive thing,” he said. “It could have been conten-tious, but both cities agreed to work cooperatively.”

Bellevue first assumed the water service to the areas from greater King County in 1973 and the sewer service from the Eastgate Sewer District in 1994.

After Issaquah annexed the neighborhoods in 2006, Bellevue continued to provide the services.

Although the Bellevue City Council passed the motion, Issaquah would not assume responsibility

for the services until Jan. 1, 2017, assuming the motion passed muster with the Boundary Review Board.

“That delay would be because Issaquah needs to update its billing system,” Lee said. “Bellevue has automatic credit deduction and Issaquah doesn’t. We want to make the transition seamless for ratepayers.”

Bellevue will pay $256,944 from its utility renewal and replacement funds to Issaquah.

Issaquah will pay a yearly “wheeling” charge of a little over $7,300 to Bellevue for the cost of pumping water to those neighborhoods.

help with fundraising. “Its pretty exciting. I don’t know how most Hollywood

films are made, but I think this is a pretty innovative way to go about it,” said Haaseth.

Neither she nor Lindsay-Kiama can predict what will happen next, but Haaseth said she feels good about the project, the story and the characters and had enjoyed the experience either way.

There will be an advanced screening at Bellevue College within the coming weeks.

in the core of the special teams unit with guys being banged up... Derrick Coleman is a core guy, Brock Coyle’s a core guy, those guys make a big difference in how we play, so we’re catching up a little bit now,” said Carroll.

Coleman was arrested by Bellevue Police on Oct. 14 on investigation of vehicular assault and hit and run, and police said there is reason to suspect that drugs or alcohol were involved.

“There was enough evidence there to lead us to suspect that perhaps drugs or alcohol could have been involved,” Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett told reporters during a press conference on Oct. 15.

The fullback was allegedly involved in a two-car rollover crash in the 13600 block of Southeast 36th Street around 6:20 p.m. on Oct. 14.

Coleman allegedly was driving his 2015 green Dodge Ram pickup truck at a high speed heading eastbound when he collided with the back of a 2007 Honda Civic, pushing it up onto an embankment and onto a retention wall where it came to a stop upside-down. His vehicle travelled halfway up the same embankment and came to a stop on its side.

The driver of the Honda Civic was transported to Overlake Medical Center in serious, but not life-threat-ening condition. Coleman was not injured in the crash. Police believe Coleman was wearing his hearing aids, but said the batteries may have been low.

Witnesses reported seeing one of the individuals involved in the collision fleeing on foot (some witnesses said he ran, while others said he walked away). He was described as a black male with an athletic build in his early 30s, wearing a brown shirt and no shoes (Cole-man will turn 25 on Oct. 18). One of the witnesses later reported helping the suspect out of his vehicle.

As far as he knows, Coleman did not check on the oc-cupant of the other vehicle, Mylett said.

After arriving at the scene of the crash, an officer found Coleman standing on the sidewalk of Southeast 37th Street, roughly two blocks from the scene of the accident. Coleman reportedly approached the police cruiser and was cooperative with police.

Coleman was positively identified by three witnesses as the aforementioned suspect, and Bellevue Police K-9 Ghost traced Coleman’s scent back to the scene of the crash.

A drug recognition expert, who generally checks the suspect’s eyes, speech, balance and conducts other tests that would indicate drug or alcohol abuse, was called to the scene shortly after Coleman was found on Southeast 37th Street. Coleman was also given a field sobriety test, but Mylett would not release the results of either analysis.

The police did not use a portable breath test to mea-sure Coleman’s blood alcohol level in this case because those results are not admissible in court and can only be used to establish probable cause for a warrant. Police had sufficient probable cause without it, according to Bellevue Police spokesperson Seth Tyler.

A warrant for Coleman’s blood was obtained three to five hours after the crash and his blood was taken at Overlake Medical Center. He did not refuse to consent to a blood test, according to police. That time frame is pretty standard given the steps necessary to obtain a warrant, and although a portion of any possible blood alcohol content would have metabolized, it would not impede any potential legal proceedings, Tyler said.

Coleman’s agent said his client may have fallen asleep at the wheel, a claim that police said they could neither confirm nor deny at this time. When asked if he had received an explanation for the car crash that he found sufficient, Carroll said he had and has seen the tapes released by Coleman’s lawyers.

Police also obtained a search warrant for Coleman’s vehicle and will look for signs of drug or alcohol use, as well as run diagnostic tests to assess what speed both cars were traveling at and any other factors that may have led to the crash.

Coleman was booked into King County Jail, and was released on Oct. 16. Both vehicular assault and hit and run are felony offenses.

The crash is still under investigation, and is expected to take at least a month. That includes waiting for full toxicology results, which could take six to eight weeks. A decision regarding charges will be made when the inves-tigation is complete at a later date.

respond to ensure that the facility was se-cure. We thoroughly checked the building and cleared the scene by 2:30 p.m. Nothing was found,” Bellevue Police spokesperson Seth Tyler told the Reporter. The Bel-levue location at 13107 N.E. 20th St. was reopened two hours after the bomb threat was received.

The Seattle Police Department respond-ed to the threat at the Seattle location, and spoke to witnesses and employees to discern if it was a credible threat, accord-ing to Seattle Police spokesperson Patrick Michaud.

It is unknown who placed the threats and why. Discretion whether to conduct a full investigation is generally left to the building occupants – in this case, the state Depart-ment of Transportation.

but cooking was always a part of his life as a hobby. When he decided he wanted to make TV shows about cooking, he enrolled at the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vt., to get things rolling.

A few decades and many successes later, Brown received an invitation from Hopelink about seven or eight months ago to be the guest speaker at this year’s luncheon.

Brown researched the organization and was intrigued by its system of get-ting people out of poverty.

“Organizations that are just into relief tend to create dependency in a lot of ways because they just keep giving stuff away. That helps to stabilize people — in the long run, you’ve gotta have a plan for getting people out the door in a dif-ferent place,” Brown told the Reporter.

Brown said Hopelink’s keys are refer-ring to people in need as clients, whom they closely counsel because everybody is different and everybody’s situation is different.

“So, to me it seems to really be an organization that is actually pulling off what they say they’re trying to do,” he said. “I only wish they could spread down in my neck of the woods, because we could use some Hopelink down in Georgia, that’s for sure.”

Brown feels that luncheon attendees had a rare gem of an opportunity to actually invest in changing human be-ings’ lives through donations. He wrote out a check and made an investment on the spot, noting that he hopes the local organization spreads and plants seeds in other communities across the country.

At the luncheon, Brown focused on hospitality and how it’s a crucial part of human connectivity that Hopelink strives to achieve. He mentioned that he’s spoken with people who have battled their way out of poverty and twice they noted that cooking Thanks-giving and Christmas meals for others were the highlights of getting back on their feet again.

With the luncheon crowd looking on, nodding their heads and some people softly clapping, Brown continued his story with another poignant message: “Once you learn how to cook, you learn enough about ingredients to feed people — the sharing of that blessing. The blessing of being able to pass on food, love, something of yourself to other people is an amazingly potent and powerful tool.”

Brown added that sharing one’s cook-ing gives people pride, self-respect and dignity, which should be the goal of anyone who is trying to take care of the problem of poverty.

Also featured at the luncheon were in-person and on-video testimonials from clients who were once homeless and have benefitted from Hopelink’s services.

While entering their new Hopelink abode, sisters Sae and Nora El Naby said, “I’m home and I’m looking forward to tomorrow” and “it felt great, liberat-ing, safe. To look around and set goals — dream again.” Their mother, Barbara, was a luncheon co-chair along with Jesse Navarro, both Hopelink clients.

In another video, client Ritty So told her son about Hopelink lending them a hand, “There are angels all around us.”

At 73, Freeman is still planning for the future, including making plans for the coming years of the Kemper Development Co. and training his two daughters to lead it one day.

Organizations around the Eastside are collecting donations in preparation for the 2016 Hope Festival.

These donations will go toward the February 2016 one-day event that serves more than 1,000 low-income families and individuals each year. Held in Bellevue, the festival also provides food, children’s books and free services like a haircut or a chiropractic adjustment, according to Ty-ler Zangaglia, one of the event organizers and a sophomore at Eastlake High School. The other two organizers are Eastlake seniors Torrey Nielsen and Amy Stewart.

“Families will walk away from the Hope Festival knowing they are cared for and that there are people to support them in their community,” according to one of the Hope Festival flyers.

About 200 volunteers contribute to the festival, from youth organizations to adult

groups.The Hope Festival, which previously oc-

curred in October, was formerly known as the Harvest Festival.

Zangaglia said the name change “en-compasses the feeling we hope our guests will feel after our event.”

“The Hope Festival provides many of those in need in our community with sup-plies, as well as a positive atmosphere, that we all need in our lives,” Zangaglia wrote in an email. “Our guests will leave the Hope Festival with the renewed mindset that there really is good in the world. Sim-ply said: each and every one of our guests will discover a newfound sense of hope.”

The Redmond/Sammamish Teen Center is accepting new or gently used clothing on weekdays 1-6:30 p.m. through Nov. 6, and is located at 825 228th Ave. N.E., Sammamish.

Rapid recovery from hip painThe latest advancement in Hip Replacement

Orthopedic surgeons at EvergreenHealth are among the few physicians on the Eastside who perform Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement surgery, an option that significantly reduces recovery time and minimizes pain.

Using a small pocket incision that prevents cutting of tendons or muscles, this minimally invasive approach eliminates post-surgical activity restrictions and patients typically leave the hospital on the same day, getting you back to your active life quicker.

Learn if anterior approach hip replacement is right for you. Join us on Oct. 27 for a free physician-led seminar to hear how this procedure can help you get back to life pain-free.

To register, visit www.evergreenhealth.com/hip or call 425.899.3000.Your Costs. We can help you with personalized assistance & price estimates for your care. For more information, visit www.evergreenhealth.com/pricing
