0Balducci, Deputy Mayor Wallace deliver State of the City addressBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue has undergone multiple spurts of growth and change over the years, and Mayor Claudia Balducci says the city will work diligently this year to further facilitate its growing success as a community and economic hub of the Eastside.

Balducci and Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace took turns revealing the working vision the City Council has come up with to guide Bellevue's future during the State of the City address Tuesday at the Bellevue Club, as well as highlight-ing the city's 2013 successes. � e event was sponsored by the Bellevue Downtown Association.

"We are united to move forward with a vision for the city," said Balducci.

� is will be a year for parks and recreation, with a new Bellevue Youth � eatre under construction at Crossroads Park and the opening of a new visitors center to complement the Bellevue Botanical Garden in June, said Balducci. � e city also is saving funds through a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Bellevue to construct a new gym at Hidden alley Park, expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Transportation remains at the top of priorities for the city to reduce projected increases in population, jobs and the congestion that will come with it. Projects to extend Northeast Fourth Street, as well as extending and widening 120th Avenue Northeast remain integral to moving people out of downtown and into the emerging Bel-Red corridor, Balducci said.

Wallace said he's proud of how the city handled the recession, moving to an outcome-based budgeting process

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue city councilmembers plan to approve an updated transit master plan this summer to identify project priorities in order to handle a signi� cant increase in ridership projected by 2030.

� e council got a peak at what's to come from the city transportation commission on April 14 when several commissioners presented the dra� Transit Capital Vision Report. Council will review the master plan in July.

� e transportation commission has identi� ed 107 project candidates, of which

60 have been ranked from highest to lowest priority.

Councilmembers responded favorably to supporting the Bellevue College Connec-tion project, which aims to improve transit, biking and pedestrian access to the college,

Driver confuses accelerator for brake, crashes through Crossroads apartmentBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Two residents in an apartment on the 16200 block of 13th Place North-east were uninjured Monday morn-ing, April 21, when a 43-year-old man confused the accelerator for the brake of his 2003 Toyota RAV 4, driving it through their � rst-� oor unit.

Bellevue Police Ofc. Carla Iafrate

said the driver called 9-1-1 shortly before 8 a.m. a� er driving his vehicle through a unit at the Bellpark East Apartments, and was unable to leave his vehicle. Two residents were in bed when the vehicle entered their apart-ment, but were not injured. � e driver reported confusing his accelerator for the brake and is not facing charges, she said.

Fire� ghters removed the driver

and his vehicle from the apartment. City structural engineers were called to the scene and determined the apartment above the one dam-aged in the accident can remain occupied. Red Cross was called to provide assistance for the displaced residents.

Bellevue Parks and Com-munity Services hopes to begin upgrading a Coal Creek trailhead along Newcastle Golf Club Road by late July, placing a nine-stall parking lot there, mitigating run-

o� and planting 12,000 square feet of native plants.

A critical areas land use permit from 2010 was resubmitted for approval last week a�er expiring, along with with a clearing and grading permit. Project manager Geo� Bradley states construction will begin as soon as permits are

issued, possibly as late as early August.

One of four alternatives considered by Barker Landscape Architects and determined least disruptive to the disturbed site, the parking lot will replace an overlay of quarry spalls. �e pro-posal is stated to be a lesser cost

to the city by avoiding total resto-ration of the site and improving access to Coal Creek Park.

Stormwater runo� on the west-ern portion of the site will divert to a new water quality pond and tie into an existing stormwater pipeline, which will also be used on the eastern portion through bio�ltration swales and/or �lter strips.

�is project is proposed to be

less expensive than the explored option of placing a footbridge across Lakemont Boulevard to tie an existing Red Town Trailhead parking lot to Coal Creek Park.

On top of the 12,000 square feet of native plant species, the project will also remove in-vasive plant species, the most prominent being the Himalayan blackberry.

An attorney hired to help the city of Bel-levue navigate the legal and environmen-tal issues once a shoreline master plan is passed o� to the Washington Department of Ecology warned councilmembers on April 14 that they face the “daunting task” of satisfying an unknown standard set by the state.

�e City Council has a lot of policy dis-cretion in its cra�ing of its shoreline master plan, but the state doesn’t make clear its extent, said Richard Settle, an attorney specializing in land use and environmental law with Foster Pepper PLLC. He said this has to do with the radical pairing of com-mittees that cra�ed the state shoreline act currently on the books. Bellevue will like-wise need to balance a number of interests in its plan.

“I’m not saying what it ought to be, I’m

just reporting,” Settle said. “… Inevitably you’re going to have to guess, at some extent.”

It will be critical that the city’s shoreline master plan adequately provide for public access, address navigation of shoreline areas and result in no net loss of shoreline or shoreline functions, which also lacks detailed de�nition by the state, said Settle. �e council must decide how much risk to take.

“I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I guess,” he said. “I know it isn’t easy.”

City Land Use Director Carol Helland assured council that sta� has made bal-anced choices on how to approach portions of the shoreline master plan where the city has more latitude, but to expect some disagreement. She said sta� made sure to avoid a condition in the state act that allows

anything not prohibited by a local shoreline plan to be approved through a conditional use permit by prohibiting outright those uses the city does not want.

� e city also is looking to maintain its local control

over Meydenbauer Bay for its multimillion dollar Meydenbauer Bay Park project, which will include a shoreline promenade, re-located swim beach, curved pedestrian pier, a plaza and playground.

� e planning commis-sion, which worked on the dra� master plan, spent most of its time focused on

residential shoreline regula-tions, said Helland, adding those issues will be a big part of council discussions moving forward. She added the commission wants the plan to be approved as a resolution, not an ordi-nance, to open up the city to negotiations with the ecology department, which has � nal say in approving it.

Councilmember Jen-nifer Robertson said the DOE will invariably return the city’s master plan for revisions. Once the plan is acceptable to the ecology department, said Council-

member John Chelminiak, he will discourage any member of the council attempting a last-minute change that could cause the plan’s passage to be delayed further.

� e council will receive reports April 28 regard-ing the cumulative impact analysis and how future Sound Transit light rail in Bellevue will mesh with the shoreline master plan.

Time for Legislature to deal with transportation

The defeat of King County Proposition No. 1, to help pay for transit as well as road maintenance and im-provements, puts pressure on the Legislature to deal

with this issue on a statewide basis. � at’s where it belonged from the start.

But we can’t blame the county from moving ahead on its own. A� er all, the Legislature had a chance to do this at the start of the year, but ducked its responsibility. Sadly, that’s not surprising, given that most lawmakers will be up for election this fall and don’t want to be on the record as voting for more taxes.

Unfortunately, people here will take the hit for the Leg-islature’s inaction. Bus service will be reduced, some routes will be discontinued, more buses will be standing room only during rush hours and some people — bus drivers — likely will work fewer hours or, worse, lose their jobs.

Metro ridership has been climbing over the past few years, but obviously most voters aren’t’ bus riders. And for them, why pay more taxes when they’ve already got comfort-able seats and a great sound system in their car to see them through what likely will be a more congested commute.

Comforting words from the presidentIt was good to see President Obama at the Oso mudslide

and even better to hear him praise the � rst responders and residents there for the e� ort — and agony — that they are going through. � e federal government can o� er money — and it has. But equally, if not more, important is the comfort that the president gave.

He met privately with family members who have lost so many and so much. He then met with o� cials and � rst responders to rightly praise them for their e� orts.

As the president said: “We’ve all been inspired by the incredible way that the community has come together and shown the love and support that they have for each other in ways large and small. And to see the strength in adversity of this community I think should inspire all of us, because this is also what America is all about”

So true.

– Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

That venerable adage ‘It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it’ came to mind Tuesday as President Barack

Obama departed the Oso � rehouse.Not because the communicator-in-chief

had just provided three cringe-worthy mo-ments with his tortured pronunciation of

the town’s name.Rather it was Obama’s

subtle acknowledgement the emergency response to the deadly mudslide did not get carried out in letter-perfect fashion. Families and neighbors of the deceased and missing encountered frustrations with � rst

responders during those � rst days a� er the earth moved.

“Some terri� c lessons were learned in the midst of very hard times during this process, because almost uniquely, we had not just coordination between state, local and federal o� cials, but also coordination between volunteers and those o� cials,” Obama said to the crowd at the � rehouse.

“And I know that it required some im-

provisation and some kinks getting worked out, but it was important for the family members themselves and the community themselves to be hands-on and participate in this process — particularly a commu-nity like this one where folks are hearty and know how to do things, and take great pride in being self-reliant.

“It was important that they weren’t just bystanders in this process, they were in-volved every step of the way,” he said.

Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe might feel validated by his words; she made much the same point a month ago.

But the freshman lawmaker, among those who met with the president Tuesday, expressed it far less diplomatically, and perhaps too soon, to be e� ective.

Only four days had passed before she unloaded about a lack of common sense in aspects of the rescue and recovery e� orts. She spoke of how residents embraced Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin’s “Get ‘er done” ethic to spring into action in the face of what sometimes seemed a slow and jumbled response from o� cial quarters.

She expressed particular pique with the

Editorial wrong on Rodney TomI’ve come to expect your paper to be out of step with

democratic voices in this county, but Craig Groshart’s recent editorial on Rodney Tom cannot go unchal-lenged.

When the people voted in a democratic majority, that’s what they deserved. But due to Rodney Tom what we got is, in Groshart’s own terms, is “political polariza-tion.” I � nd the use of the word “coalition” to describe the defection of two Democrats a gross abuse of the term and indicative of the way Tom has willfully misguided the public.

Of course, the editorial failed to mention that the 48th Legislative District that got him elected, has actively

been working to insure that didn’t happen again. He was censured by his own district, which also keeps track of bi-partisan bills he killed.

Don’t you � nd it a bit concerning at all that he ran on the goodwill, funding, and hard work of Democrats in the country only to throw his votes in with Republicans in order to wrest control of the Senate from the duly elected majority? Would he have been elected had he run on that platform? Of course not.

Endorsing this kind of deceit is new low-water mark.Brett Hill, Bellevue

decisions to bar Darrington residents from joining the search for victims and restoring a private road for emergency vehicles to access the site – prohibitions the hometown folks promptly ignored and officialdom eventually welcomed.

Those were probably the kind of “kinks get-ting worked out” that Obama had in mind.

“It’s not a time for armchair quarterback-ing, but for heaven’s sake, listen to the people on the ground,” she said March 27. “People of Darrington feel really dismissed and put down.”

There would be a time to discuss what didn’t go right and what to do about it, she said.

“There’s no such thing as a perfect response. We can learn from this and going forward we can think about how we have a better plan,” she said.

When that time comes — if Scott picked up any tips from Obama — it will be to make sure what she says gets the attention, rather than how she says it.

I just ran across an old thank you card I’d once written to my Aunt Gertrude. I was eight years old and I’d penned to her: “Dear Auntie, thank you for the birthday card you

sent me with only � ve dollars in it.”� e reason I still have the card is be-

cause my mom intercepted it before it was mailed. I still don’t understand what was wrong with my simple words of gratitude.

When our � rst daughter was born, I brie� y considered naming her Gertrude, a� er my (only � ve dollars) aunt, but my wife vetoed it immediately.

“It’s out-of-style,” she insisted. “She’ll be called Gert or Trudy. Might as well send her straight to a senior center.”

It is true. Names go out of fashion as surely as hairstyles, leisure suits and high-gluten foods.

I recently — and reluctantly — had to inform my friends Fred, Harold and Edna that their names were not hip any-more. And they replied, “� ank you — PAT.”

Town names like Brooklyn, Madison and Austin are bow de rigueur for newborns. However, some city names are slower in becoming popular, such as Newcastle, Renton and Kingsgate. My friend, Clyde Hill, has no comment.

According to a research site, the name Gertrude — like my � ve-buck aunt — was once quite trendy. In 1907, thousands of girls were given the name. But within a few years, no girls were given the name. For boys, Ernest, Cli� ord, Leonard and Herbert are as obsolete now as Myspace. Richard has also fallen way down the list. I will not tell you why in print.

If a kid does have a traditional name, it’s now important to spell it di� erently: Carl should be spelled Karll or Caarl. Ben should be Benn or Behn. Jane should be Jayyne or Jaine. And so on. I mean, so “awne.”

It’s confusing. Just as soon as a name is labeled as out of style — it comes roaring back. Adolph still isn’t in vogue, but Oswald is — along with Alfred, Linus, Otto and even Roscoe. And Alice, Beatrix and Millie have suddenly become hip.

Bertha? Not yet. Especially for big tunnel boring machines.For girls, it seems like certain � ower and plant names can’t

go wrong: Fuchsia, Daisy, Rose, Violet and Iris. Not as appeal-ing so far are Nasturtium, Crocus and Skunk Cabbage.

Pansy has not yet caught on as a boy’s name. But wait a week.

� e decision by state Sen. Rodney Tom not to seek re-election already has shaken up the political world. Former Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride, who had targeted Tom in this year's Senate race in the 48th District, has switched her focus to the House seat now held by fellow Democrat Cyrus Habib. At the same time, Habib says he will run for the Senate.

Tom stepped away from the race to care for his father, who was seriously injured when struck by a car.

Habib, a Kirkland resident, initially endorsed McBride for the Senate position.

Habib views his Senate run as an opportunity to bring common sense and a focus on Eastside priorities to a chamber mired in gridlock and dissent.

“It is critical that we make the needed investments in human and physical capital to secure our continued pros-

perity and competi-tiveness,” Habib said. “Unfortu-nately, the Repub-lican leaders in the state Senate have punted on the most pressing issues of the day: education funding, transportation investments, and job growth.

McBride said it’s always been about serving the people the best way she knows how, not the particular o� ce. If elected for the House posi-tion, she will join Eastside colleagues Rep. Ross Hunter (D-48) and Rep. Larry Springer (D-45), himself a one-time Kirkland Mayor.

McBride also has won sup-port from Springer, County Executive Dow Constantine, Bellevue Mayor Claudia Bal-ducci, Redmond Mayor John Marchione, Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen.

“I know I speak for many

when I say that I am thrilled Joan is going to campaign for the House, and we will see her in

action next year in Olympia – where we desperately need her passion and commitment to our families and communities,” said Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci.

McBride will formally kick o� her campaign May 8.

In 2012, Habib defeated Redmond City Councilmem-ber Hank Myers. a Republi-can, for the House seat, gar-nering over 61 percent of the vote in the general election.

In addition to his posi-tion on the powerful Rules Committee, Habib serves as vice chair of the Committee on Technology and Economic Development, as well as on the Business and Financial Services and Transportation committees.

that allowed projects to keep getting done while keeping tax rates at 2008 levels. That kept the city's insurance ratings high enough to take on debt at 2.7 percent over 20 years to keep work-ing on transportation projects, said Wallace. Unemployment also dropped to 4 percent in 2013, down from 8 percent in 2009.

He said this year will be an inter-esting for development in downtown Bellevue, with projects like Bellevue at Main, Soma Towers Phase 1 and the Marriott Bellevue Hotel under con-struction and the highly anticipated $1.2 billion expansion of Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square 2 on the way. Hotels will increase by 1,100 units and 3.5 million square feet of office space is expected to be gained once a number of projects are completed.

"These are projects unlike anything we've seen in downtown Bellevue and they're all right there, ready and about to deliver," Wallace said.

The city is also planning on $1.5 billion in construction activity over the next eight years to bring in Sound Transit's East Link Extension of light rail service. Wallace said he's happy with the alignment that came out of a lengthy discussion with Sound Transit.

Wallace urged those attending the Bellevue Downtown Association breakfast on Tuesday to keep pushing the Washington Legislature to pass a state transportation package he said will be critical to improving condi-

tions on I-405 and alleviating concerns about congestion now and in the future.

Balducci said the city expects to fin-ish work on its Downtown Livability Initiative this year. It includes land use code changes, design guidelines and light rail integration measures meant to continue attracting residents to the downtown corridor, which is already a growing number. This also includes projects meant to enhance the down-town experience, including finishing the circle at Downtown Park and the Meydenbauer Bay Park project.

"We really need a major waterfront feature for the people," she said, stating the council wants planning complete and construction to start by 2018.

The city is also working with the Performing Arts Center Eastside to draft a memorandum of understand-ing moving forward with a study and public outreach to determine how a public-private partnership to complete the Tateuchi Center could work, said Balducci.

She said the city is also updating its diversity initiative after more than 10 years to address the large amount of change in Bellevue, not just in terms of the needs that come with it, but how to capitalize on the advantages it brings.

"Diversity brings opportunity. It brings economic development, educa-tion, a focus on public safety; things we can work together on to make the city a better and more rich place," Balducci said.

� e Bellevue Demonstra-tion Garden kicked o� its 30th year when it opened for the season on April 2. Sta� ed by King County Master Gardener volun-teers, the garden strives to provide education and demonstration of many gar-dening topics to the public.

Located in the Lake Hills Greenbelt at Southeast 16th Street and 156th Avenue Southeast, the garden was founded in cooperation with Bellevue Parks and Community Services in 1984. Land reclaimed from a formerly contaminated site gave birth to a public P-Patch and Urban Demon-stration Garden.

A series of free educa-tional workshops began in 1993, and continues today on topics ranging from rhododendron culture to waterwise gardening. Work-shops are held at 10:30 a.m. in the Ranger Station most Saturdays, January through October.

As a demonstration garden, more than 40 beds with edible and ornamental plants are displayed along with the growing, stak-ing, trellising, and support options for each. It also includes a meditation court, children’s garden, cactus garden, compost center, ver-tical garden, and espaliered fruit trees, among others.

� e garden is sta� ed to answer plant questions on

Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., April through October. Produce grown at the garden is donated to Bellevue Hope-link, typically 1,500-2,000 pounds per year.

On Saturday, April 26, there will be a tomato and vegetable plant sale and a workshop on Growing Tomatoes in the Northwest, with plants for sale grown by Master Gardeners in the nearby greenhouse. In the fall there will be a Harvest Festival and Children’s Fair on Sept. 6 to showcase the o� erings of the garden. Past years have included tomato tastings, children’s activities, harvest demon-strations, local musicians, and samplings of the garden produce.

� e Bellevue Botanical Garden Society has received a $500,000 pledge from the PJA Foundation for the garden's Growing a Living Legacy Capital Campaign. David Ketter, president of the PJA Foundation, announced the pledge fol-lowing a hard hat tour of the new facilities on April 13.

“� e foundation wants to support projects that have permanence and promote education and outreach and this is just such a project,” said Ketter. “We are thrilled to be able to contribute to the Growing a Living Legacy campaign and help the Garden grow.”

Growing a Living Legacy is an $11 million campaign to fund construction of a new education and visitor center, expanded parking area, and new gardens at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.

“We are ecstatic to receive this major pledge from the PJA Foundation,” said Denise Lane, chair of the Bellevue Botani-

cal Garden Society’s Capital Campaign Committee. “Our new buildings will open to the public on June 14 and we are now in the home stretch of our capital campaign. Words can-not express our gratitude for this gi� , which has put us much closer to our � nal goal.”

� e PJA Foundation is dedicated to promoting the love of horticulture in the general public. � e foundation’s long-standing support of the Bellevue Botanical Garden has been instrumental in helping the garden attract more than 300,000 visitors each year.

Over the years, grants from the PJA Foundation have sup-ported education and outreach programs and many garden development projects including way � nding and interpreta-tion signs, a plant database, and enhancements to the Rock Garden and Ground Cover Garden. In addition, a previous grant from � e PJA Foundation funded � e Ravine Experi-

ence….Take a Walk on the Wild Side, located in the most pristine, native woodland area of the garden and featuring a 150-foot suspension bridge spanning the ravine.

� e June 14 grand opening of the new facility will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. and an open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tavern Hall to fill Munchbar space at Bellevue SquareBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Details are set to be released this week detailing brothers Bret and Marc Chatalas’ vision for what Tavern Hall is going to be as it replaces the shuttered Munchbar in downtown’s Bellevue Square.

According to permits issued by the city of Bellevue, Munchbar is to be remodeled and opened as Tavern Hall, a new dining establishment headed up by the Chatalas brothers, who own several Cactus restau-rants in the area. � ey recently opened one in Bellevue Square. One building permit includes a 90-square-foot addition using space from an existing breezeway. Wilcox Construction will perform the work, as it did with the Bellevue Square Cactus location. Strata Architects of Se-

attle is handling the design.Neither the Chatalas nor property

owner Kemper Development Company are commenting at this time, but Marc Chatalas con� rmed the project and that details will be released sometime next week in an email to the Reporter. Records state the proposed value of the improve-ments is $275,000.

“I will say this,” Marc Chatalas states, “there is more to this story and project than can be inferred from the permits, licenses and applications that are in the public record at this time. � is will be a very unique and exciting addition to the Eastside dining scene.”

Bellevue Police Deputy Chief Jim Jolli� e said last week the decision to � re a 15-year veteran of the force was that he lied to protect a fellow o� cer from being investigated by other law enforcement o� cials dur-ing a November DUI stop.

Ofc. Doug Brennan was o� duty the night of Nov. 20 when he pulled over a Jeep Cherokeee driving errati-cally on eastbound I-90 in the city of Issaquah. � e driver was fellow Bellevue Ofc. Andrew Hanke.

Brennan reported Hanke told him he’d been return-ing home from the Sideline

Sports Bar in Bellevue.Hanke, who resigned in

January following a DUI charge, was allowed to hitch a ride home with his wife. Brennan did not contact NORCOM dispatchers dur-ing this time, according to a notice of termination � led with an internal investi-gation into his conduct, nor did he conduct a � eld sobriety test on Hanke. He did notify his supervisor af-ter Hanke’s wife had shown up to the scene to take him home. Brennan even waited on the side of the highway in his unmarked patrol vehicle for Hanke’s wife to return for her vehicle.

Jolli� e said the most serious o� ense committed by Brennan that ultimately led to his termination and a prolonged internal investigation was that the o� cer lied to other o� cers on the scene, not so much

that he allowed his drunken coworker o� the hook for DUI.

“� is was driven by what we believe is a � nding of false information,” said Jolli� e, adding that � nding resulted in Brennan being placed on administrative leave in February.

In the course of dealing with Hanke, another car pulled up behind Brennan’s vehicle. � e occupants were determined to be involved in a domestic violence/sui-cidal situation, according to records. Brennan noti� ed NORCOM of that situa-tion, which resulted in the dispatch of Issaquah Police o� cers to the scene.

Issaquah Ofc. Tom Gri� th initially approached Hanke’s vehicle and had trouble getting the Bel-levue o� cer to respond to

his questions. He believed Hanke may have been drunk, according to the re-port. Brennan told Gri� th that he came upon Hanke’s disabled vehicle, not that he’d pulled his coworker over for suspicion of DUI.

Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo, who retired last week, wrote in Bren-nan’s notice of termination, “Had he thought otherwise, Gri� th may have paid more attention to speci� c indicators related to a pos-sible DUI.”

Pillo states in her notice of termination Brennan made the Issaquah o� cer a witness to the alleged crime committed by Hanke and further interfered with her ability to discipline the o� cer. Hanke � rst made headlines in 2012 for drunk and disorderly conduct at

a Seattle Seahawks game in September. Disciplin-ary actions for that event included his removal from the bomb squad and a 30-day suspension. He is set for a pretrial conference in Issaquah Municipal Court

regarding his DUI charge at 10 a.m. May 14.

“We have this reservoir of good will with the public, and we want to keep that full,” Jolli� e said, “so when a � re starts, we have the water to put that out.”

Lying led to firing of Bellevue officer Brennan covered for coworker during DUI stop

Bellevue senior goalkeeper Cole Cansler has earned his spot as the starter the hard way, biding his time on the C-Team and JV before finally getting the nod to man the cage as the varsity starter this season. MOLLY PIPER, U.S. Lacrosse Washington

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

For the past three seasons, Cole Cansler has watched, and waited.

He has been witness to multiple state titles, All-Ameri-can teammates and a host of Division I caliber Wolverines.

But while he was observing the nuances of a varsity pro-gram that owns the past two state championships, Cansler was also getting plenty of his own seasoning, even while on the C-Team and junior varsity.

“I tried to take every game seriously, and put in all my ef-fort,” he said. “No matter what team I’m playing for or what team we’re playing against.”

Now a senior, the rangy le� -hander is getting an oppor-tunity to put that intel to work, and is making the most of the opportunity as the varsity starter in goal.

“Cole is a great story of a kid just working hard all throughout his high school career,” head coach John Bau-mann said. “He was a good teammate as a backup and now, with all the work he put in, it is paying o� .”

� e Wolverines’ primary net minder has allowed only 36 goals on the year, while posting 55 saves in 11 games. � e propensity for lopsided scores, especially against in-state foes, has meant plenty of time for fellow senior Bradley Medeiros as well, and he has answered with 30 saves.

Baumann said the sel� ess nature of his senior keeper has not waned even as he has become the starter.

“He’s the � rst guy out there to congratulate Brad on a big stop,” Baumann said. “He de� nitely brings a calmness.”

Fellow senior and captain Eric Haehl said the dedication of Cansler has paid dividends already on the season, and provided perspective for the rest of the team.

“He has put in the work in the o� season, and it has been great to see him grow,” he said of Cansler. “He’s saved us in a couple of games and really stepped up big. He has really risen above.”

Bellevue has surrendered just more than three goals per

game against in-state foes, and puts its 36 game in-state winning streak on the line Friday against Issaquah.

� e Eagles and Eastside Catholic beat Bellevue in con-secutive games midway through the 2011 season.

Issaquah head coach Brandon Fortier said he expects his team’s attack to be tested against the stingy Wolverines.

“� ey are very strong defensively,” he said. Bellevue’s defensive unit will be tested by a group of

Eagles featuring a balanced o� ensive attack, with 10 players having scored a goal and six with double-digit points on the season.

“It’s always a great game,” Baumann said. “Issaquah is well coached, they play a quality brand of lacrosse and are fundamentally sound.”

Haehl, who is part of a senior class looking to cap its tenure with a trio of Division I state championships, said his expectations are nothing short of another title.

“We put in the work and try to get better every day,” he said. “We’re going to hit the playo� s on a roll, and win an-other state championship. I’m not going to � nish my senior year disappointed.”

� e Wolverines dropped their � rst 2A/3A KingCo game of the year last week in a 9-0 loss to Mer-cer Island, but still � nd themselves at the top of the conference with just more than two weeks to play in the regular season.

Myles Jack was nothing less than one of the best prep football players to come out of Washington in recent memory when he graduated from Bellevue in 2013, and made a major splash last year with UCLA.

� e former Wolverine became the � rst player to win Pac-12 Freshman of the Year on o� ense and defense, a� er showcasing his skills as a linebacker and running back

for the latter part of the season. As spring practice continues in West-

wood, with many fans around the confer-ence and nation wondering what he will do for an encore, Jack became the feature of an ESPN.com piece that delves into his dual-threat possibilities in 2014 and beyond.

Bellevue fans will surely remember the humble and determined mentality Jack displayed as a pillar of three state

title teams on the gridiron, as well as his exploits as a 3A state champion in track and � eld.

Jack told ESPN.com’s Kevin Gemmell that while his � rst collegiate season was a nice step, he has no misgivings about the amount of work still at hand. He also o� ered a glimpse back to his mindset and rawness during his time on Wolverine Way.

“I’m not even close to where I need to be yet,” Jack said. “In high school I carried the ball and played defensive end. I was in

a four-point stance and I’d just run around the other guys. But in the Pac-12, these o� ensive linemen are big and fast. I need to do a better job with my hands and shed-ding blocks and reading my keys.”

Jack earned a spot in the Army All-American Bowl, as well as a top-10 national ranking in his high school class as a running back, during his senior season with Bellevue.

He was the state Associated Press Defen-sive Player of the Year a� er recording 21 sacks and leading his team to a state title.

Newport junior Todd Reese remembers the days as a youngster around the Issaquah baseball program, follow-ing head coach and father Rob around the old natural grass diamond, idolizing the purple and gold clad varsity team members.

� e memories of the family ties to their KingCo cham-pionships and a trio of state titles are also fond ones for the longtime skipper of the Eagles, along with a pair of assis-tants in Steve Sanelli and Fred Caponigro who have known and coached Todd throughout his youth.

But rather than suiting up for his father and Issaquah as a player, a� er doing so as a bat boy for state championship squads, Todd headed to the other side of Newport Way, to Issaquah’s � ercest rivals on the baseball diamond.

“I played � underbird Little League my whole life, and grew up with these guys,” Todd said of the Bellevue league that feeds Newport High School and draws from the area that borders the Issaquah School District boundary.

Rob said the plan was always for his son to attend New-port and remain with his neighborhood classmates and friends, rather than inherit the pressure of being the coach’s son for the Eagles. But during his childhood, as Rob led Issaquah to state championships in 2000, 2004 and 2007, Todd and the rest of the family were a � xture in the stands and on the � eld.

Rob said one of the most vivid memories of his coaching tenure is the program’s most recent title, when he grabbed a young Todd from over the Safeco Field railing and brought

him on the � eld to join the celebration.“I still watch the video of that one sometimes,” he said,

recalling his own parents in the front row with his wife and Todd. “I will never forget that the rest of my life.”

� e past two-plus years have been anything but easy as a father, with Rob only able to see his son play in the con-� icted instances when he faces Issaquah.

“It’s been really di� cult, not being able to see him and not having my wife here,” Rob said. “He has such a great group of friends he grew up with.”

Newport coach Brad Files has coached for nearly two de-cades alongside Rob, Sanelli and Caponigro with Lakeside Recovery’s American Legion program during the summer, and as close family friends has known Todd his entire life.

“We’ve been looking forward to having him here, and it has gone by fast,” Files said. “We try to make the most of it every day and enjoy the experience.”

� e decision has worked out well for Todd, and even better for the Knights during his varsity tenure.

He has played in all of his team’s games in the � eld or on the mound, and is third on the team in hits and second in RBI.

He has been the workhorse of the pitching sta� , throw-ing a team high 34 innings and a third, and posting a 2.04 earned run average.

Even with the unenviable task of taking on his own fa-ther as the starting pitcher in a Newport win over Issaquah earlier this year, Todd has shined.

“It’s probably the most nervous I’ve ever been,” he said of a 5-4 victory where he started on the mound and delivered the game winning base hit. “It felt good to beat them. But there was no gloating, anything like that.”

Todd said the respect between he and his dad, developed through baseball, has been one of the most rewarding parts of his growth in a game he has been around for longer than he can remember.

On the day he was born, his father’s Eagles were slated for a non-league game against Kentridge. A� er staying for the birth of his � rst son, Rob headed to the diamond to catch whatever was le� of the early season tilt. Not long af-ter, his wife was released from the hospital and came to the � eld, starting a connection on the diamond that has helped shape their lives in the years since.

“I was in my jeans,” Rob recalled, having passed along head coaching duties to Sanelli for the day. “Tami got out of the hospital and brought Todd. He’s been around Is-saquah his whole life.

Father-son ties help write new chapter in Newport, Issy rivalry

which is how about 30 percent of students get to campus.

� e project includes improved campus ac-cess at the intersection of 142nd Place Southeast and Southeast 42nd Street, improved walkways and pedestrian cover on the 142nd Avenue Southeast bridge and improved con-nection to the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail. � e commission also envi-sions a new transit station on Snoqualmie River Road.

Lower on the prioritiza-tion list are two projects on Main and Northeast 10th streets, both of which would replace one

eastbound lane with a high-occupancy vehicle lane from Bellevue Way to 112th Avenue Northeast.

Councilmember Lynn Robinson said she prefers keeping Main Street a retail corridor, consider-ing a Sound Transit light rail station will come in there as part of its East Link extension. Council-member Kevin Wallace likewise was not in favor of the HOV lanes, stating he doesn't see a reason to give up lanes for mass transit a� er spending four years previously � ghting light rail.

Mayor Claudia Balducci reasoned the low prior-ity of these projects likely means they will never be taken up, but Council-member John Chelminiak cautioned these projects

will never occur if they are removed from the list and development continues on into 2030.

Councilmember Jen-nifer Robertson said she supports a proposal to cre-ate commuter parking fa-cilities by leasing property from King County and churches. Drivers would leave their cars there and take public transportation. Transportation Commis-sioner Janice Zahn said there's already an uneven distribution of vehicles at area park-and-rides, in-cluding the South Bellevue P&R that tends to be over capacity.

special election. � e cuts will a� ect 28 of 35 routes in Bellevue.

Prop 1 was still failing by 55 percent as of press time for the Reporter on Wednesday night with 412,248 ballots counted or a 35 percent turnout.

Based on a March rev-enue forecast, the proposed cuts and changes to King County Metro routes changed slightly from 74 to 72 routes lost. � at’s roughly 34 percent of the Metro system. � e 107 routes proposed to be re-duced or changed dropped

to 84. Of those reductions, 48 percent will occur dur-ing peak transit hours.

“As far as Plan B, it’s still the same as it was before the election,” said Chad Lewis, spokesman for the King County Executive’s O� ce.

Prop 1 would have al-lowed for a recently formed King County Transporta-tion Bene� t District to implement a one-tenth of a cent sales tax and a $60 car-tab fee. Low-income county residents would get a $20 rebate. Prop 1 was anticipated to generate $130 million in revenue, with 40 percent going to lo-cal road and transportation projects. Lewis said there

is no current plan to run another ballot measure in the future.

Metro service changes occur three times each year, meaning the � rst cuts, re-ductions and route changes will start in September, said Rochelle Ogershok with the King County Department of Transportation. � ree more rounds of cuts and changes will occur in Feb-ruary, June and September of 2015.

Ogershok said the sta� -ing cuts that will come with the cuts and reduced service have not yet been determined.

“If you have less service, you have less buses on the street clearly,” she said.

Without funding, the transportation bene� t dis-trict can remain dormant. � ere has been no indica-tion from King County Council that it wants to dissolve the district.

Five Bellevue artists have been selected for inclusion in the 11th Annual Kirkland Artist Studio Tour, a city-span-ning open house of � ne artists' studio space.

Jeweler Jihee Kim, ceramicists Sharon Jamieson and Joyce Yu, and cra� team Aiko Vail and Poul Erickson will have their work featured with more than 40 other artists on the tour.

� e Kirkland Arts Center will hold the tour May 10-11. For walkers, it’s an opportunity to look at items created in the Eastside’s backyard. For the artists, it’s an opportunity to put their work in front of an audience and make deeper connections with colleagues in their community.

“I think you learn a lot from each other and there’s a sense of camaraderie,” Jamieson said. “You meet people who understand what you’re doing and you feed o� each other, in a way.”

Jamieson has been making pottery for more than three decades but, 25 years ago, she found a passion for the uncommonly used pit� re technique while searching for a pastime on she and her husband’s small island campsite.

“It was wonderful, and we had these 360-degree views,” she said. “But what did you do once you were there?”

Jamieson studied videos on how to � re ceramics out-doors, cooked in a � re pit wrapped in materials that would add color and natural varnish. Over time, she’s mastered

Wendy, Michael, John, Captain Hook, and the Lost Boys and their adventures in the air, over the sea and throughout the magical world of Never Land. � e play is best for ages 6+.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

the technique to the point that one recently made large pinecone sculpture is perfectly smooth. Another piece, a dual statue set of mother and child el-ephants, displays painstak-ing detail in the animal features.

Yu, a resident artist of the center, uses the high-� re kiln method to create functional ceramic

art — custom dishware and sculptural containers, such as a set of mushroom vessels.

“Life is too short to use mass-produced stu� ,” she said. “I like to inject a little bit of fun into objects you see all the time. I like the idea of having your mug, or your plate, that you use all the time.”

An optometrist by trade, Yu began explor-ing creative outlets while living in Shanghai without a work visa. She tried her

hand at photography before becoming enthralled by pottery classes at a nearby studio. Her deepening involvement led her to rent space for all-hours access. A� er moving to Bellevue, the arts center allowed her to continue her work. Now she works in her � eld part time while spending most days working with clay.

“I love the idea that adults can enjoy it, I love the idea that kids can enjoy it,” Yu said. “You get to see the transformation of clay into something useful … (working in) ceramics, you

are involved in the process of transformation.”

Vail said she likewise was fascinated with useful art, like “whimsical” glass garden bird baths. One fa-vorite past project was ‘Tini Heads, custom made mar-tini glasses that resembled triangular faces.

“� ey’re almost like a Picasso kind of face, made of scraps of glass,” Erick-son said, describing Vail’s handiwork.

Erickson was a trained ceramicist, earning a major in the artform at Central Washington University. A� er college he started paying the bills as a con-struction carpenter, using skills that he eventually brought into his art. Art is a creative outlet, but it’s also been a recreational outlet. � ey soon plan to relocate from Bellevue to Cle Elum, where they maintain a studio.

BY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

Let’s get one thing out of the way, right o� the bat: Let Valerie Vigoda sing!

Vigoda’s a veteran performing musician as the lyricist of New York band GrooveLily and a musical theater perform-er many times over. She’s a proven element with strong chops, and she continued to prove it through the lion’s share of the � nal preview performance of Joe DiPietro’s “Ernest Shackleton Loves Me.” Yet in the � rst half hour, the most energetic moments of the show’s instrumental

score turned her into the quiet person at a loud party. Which would be � ne if she were a guest dropping by to say hello: but Vigoda’s the host, a full half of the cast alongside (the well-heard) Wade McCollum.

Chalk it up as a side e� ect to an otherwise successful experiment. Musical theater

is a format that o� en leans on large ensemble casts and live orchestras, winning over audiences with a show of force. A tight 90-minute show anchored by a cast of two and mostly pre-recorded instrumentals, “Shackleton” de� es the rule of strength in numbers to create a no-less grand spectacle.

Kat (Vigoda) is an unsuccessful opera composer saddled with a newborn in a freezing Brooklyn apartment a� er her “baby daddy” Bruce (McCollum) leaves for the fast life of a touring Journey cover band. Her latest indignity is her termination from a lucrative contract scoring a computer game, leaving her with nothing but an unwatched video blog for her creative outlet. A� er 36 hours without sleep, she � nds herself receiving mysterious online romantic

overtures from her only viewer: Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton (also McCollum). Shackleton crosses a century and a refrigerator door to be with his lady love, and Kat � nds herself acting as o� cial muse on his beleaguered expedition.

DiPietro’s script never attempts to hide the unreality of the cross-time romance, which is part of the show’s charm: the two interact like childhood playmates deep in a game of imagination time. Shackleton is a self-conscious caricature who seems aware of future events in his life and constantly announces his full name with a Dudley Do-Right timbre. Even Kat's early stock-footage-happy video blogs and Skype chats with Shackleton – � lled with bleeps, bloops and catchy sea shanties – resemble a sort of foul-mouthed “Bill Nye the History Guy” spin-o� .

It's positively kitsch; but it has kitsch appeal. It's a radical '90s remix of a musical worth checking out.
