Blue arrows show detour routes for West Lake Sammamish Parkway SE. CITY OF BELLEVUE
Work on enhancements to West Lake Sammamish Parkway will cause signi� cant impacts to motorists begin-ning March 19, according to a City of Bellevue announcement.
On that date, the parkway will be closed to southbound tra� c starting at Southeast 34th Street. A north-bound lane will remain open, but signi� cant delays are still likely. All businesses will remain open during construction.
� e roadway typically carries 11,000 drivers on an average week-day and the city is strongly advising motorists to � nd alternate routes to traveling on West Lake Sammamish Parkway between Interstate 90 and
Southeast 34th Street. Delays of 15 minutes or more are possible through the construction zone.
� e parkway project will include safety enhancements for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers by providing a multi-use trail along the west side of the arterial. � e work also will restore the existing pavement while maintain-ing the distinct character of the area.
� e proposed construction plan breaks the roadway into � ve approxi-mately mile-long segments. � e � rst phase will take at least 10 months to complete.
� e city began construction of Phase 1 in early 2013. � e scope of work includes the construction of a
10-foot wide multi-use path on the west side of the street, a four-foot shoulder on the east side, and two general-purpose travel lanes (one northbound and one southbound).
Along with roadway improvements, the city will install new storm drains and replace existing water mains. � e � rst type of work installs erosion control, builds retaining walls, and improves storm drains, water lines, and water service.
Construction takes place between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
To expedite the work, two or three crews will be working at a time at dif-ferent locations. Besides the contrac-

Susan Huenefeld wasn’t going to speak last Monday at a public hearing for land use code amendments concern-ing East Link’s future alignment in Bellevue. But when she saw a green line drawn through hers and her neighbor’s property in a slideshow visualization of screening on 112th, Huenefeld changed her mind.
“� at green line on the earlier slides, goes straight through my kitchen, living room and dining room,” said Huenefeld as the hearing drew to a close. “I didn’t buy my house over 18 years ago, to have the enormous douglas-� r torn down so that I could have a beautiful view of light rail, 10 feet from my house.”
Last October, the council began a series of meetings to amend land use codes that didn’t anticipate East Link’s extension into Bellevue. � e land use code “overlay” will inform future permit processes, development and design standards as the project moves forward. And for many residents of the Enatai and Surrey Downs neighborhoods, whose homes will be the most a� ected by the alignment, it’s a critical moment for property owners.
“� ere’s no recourse for property owners in this LUC,” said Arjun Sirohi, Huenefeld’s neighbor along 112th Avenue Southeast. Both have long voiced their concern to Sound Transit and the city, most notably about the possibility of partial acquisition, which would allow ST to purchase all but a sliver of grass and the back deck in either yard.
But now they’re worried the overlay will set an unfair precedent for Sound Transit, allowing them to steamroll the city and property owners on future occasions.
“� e debate is already done,” said Sirohi, who clari� es that he’s not trying to banish East Link from Bellevue. “� ey’ve decided on the alignment. Now it’s about the LUC, and what are the rights of the property owners.”
Over the weekend, Huenefeld paused to lead a brief tour of the properties lining 112th, where East Link would construct a portion of its alignment. � e exact details of construction won’t be determined until later this spring

The city has extended the deadline for residents who want to have a say on the 2013 annual community survey. This sur-vey supplements the city’s statistically valid annual survey that closed on Feb 10.
The annual community survey gives residents a chance to have a say on the city’s municipal services in 2012. It’s the first time Bellevue has offered all residents an opportunity to participate.
The new deadline for the survey is Thursday, Feb. 28. To complete the survey, residents may go to http://ORCsurvey.com/BellevueWebSurvey2013.
Responses from volunteer survey participants will supplement the results of
households previously selected at random to take the survey by telephone and online. That phase of the survey ended on Feb. 10.
As in past years, a group of residents were randomly selected and a postcard mailed inviting them to take the survey by telephone or online. The group reflects a statistically reliable sample and the findings represent all Bellevue residents.
The city has partnered with an indepen-dent research firm, ORC International, to conduct the survey.
More information is available by contact-ing Rich Siegel, Performance Coordinator for the City of Bellevue, at 425-452-7114 or [email protected].
Deadline extended for performance survey responses

The vote for who or what is the “Best of Downtown Bellevue” kicked off this week as the Bellevue Downtown Association launched the 2013 Haute Picks contest.
People will have through April 5 to vote online in 22 dining, retail, service and experience categories.
For the past 10 years, the downtown as-sociation’s contest has honored businesses that deliver excellent customer service and create a sense of place for those who live, work, shop and play in Downtown Bel-levue.
This year, four new categories have been added to the this year’s contest: Best Break-fast/Brunch, Best Place to be Entertained, Best Place for Kids, and Best Place to be Pampered.
Completing the contest survey in its
entirety gives voters the chance to win a Downtown Bellevue VIP Event Package, including two tickets to a headliner show at the Bellevue Jazz Festival, two entries to the inaugural Four on the 4th Dog Jog & Walk, two passes to the VIP seating area at the Symetra Bellevue Family 4th, four skating passes to the Chaplins Bellevue Volkswagen Ice Arena, and promotional offerings from various Downtown Bellevue restaurants.
The online ballot will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 5, and only one ballot per person will be counted. Winners will be announced in the summer issue of Bel-levue Downtown magazine and at the BDA Breakfast Meeting on Tuesday, April 23, 7:309:00 a.m. at the Bellevue Club.

The Bellevue Botanical Garden Society is looking for quality collector, antique and home décor donations for its Vintage Sale to be held April 4-7. All proceeds will benefit the “Growing a Living Legacy” campaign to fund an education center, visitor services building, more parking and a new garden area for the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
And, as the garden is a non-profit, all items do-nated are tax-deductible.
Early donations will help the small staff maximize their time more efficiently
due to the time required to identify and price art and unusual items. Items will be priced with the goal of selling within the sale dates so the sticker prices will be somewhat lower than market value.
Items donated and ac-cepted become the property of the garden and won’t be returned. Any items remain-ing after the sale will be sold on a secondary market to benefit the garden or do-
nated to a local charity. The sale will be held in
the house located by the entrance to the Gardens and five rooms have been set aside for the sale items. Items sought include footstools, garden art, steins, china, silver, accent furniture and old and new costume jewelry.
More information, or to arrange for pick up or drop off items, is available at bel-levuebotanical.org.

It’s that time of year again. Festival season. In the last month, the lineups for nearly every major
summer music festival has been released. And now it’s decision time.
Coachella. Sasquatch! Primavera. Governor’s Ball. Bonnaroo. Fire� y. Pickathon.
What festival am I going to spend my money on?
For the past two years, I went with what most music heads would call the “obvious choice”: Coachella. It’s the biggest, most varied lineup of the bunch (historically), and it helped that I had an aunt and uncle that lived right outside of the polo grounds (NOTE: showers and
beds instead of camping? Yes please). Also, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be hot.
But this year I am looking for something new. For the most part, the bulk of the lineups are compa-
rable. Insert hot pop act, insert weird indie thing, insert hip hop game changer. � en there are the headliners. � at’s where Coachella is lacking this year; for some reason, it just seems they missed the mark.
� is year, festival headliners include Phoenix (new album dropping soon), Mumford and Sons (Duh. � ey just won a Grammy) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (safe, solid option).
Totally awesome - but completely predictable. � at’s why I’m � ying the coop and checking out the
Governor’s Ball festival in New York. Why? Because every single headliner for that fest has been pretty much MIA in the last year (Kanye West, Kings of Leon and Guns and Roses) - and that’s bound to provide for some excitement.
Being the music brat I am, I understand not everyone can � y across the country to go hear a couple bands. � at’s why us Washingtonians are super lucky. We have one of the best musical festivals, with one of the best lineups - in our own backyard. � e Sasquatch! Music Festival at the Gorge in George. Sure, it’s a bit of a drive, but with headliners in-cluding locals Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and � e Postal Service - in addition to a bunch of other awesome acts - it’s one you don’t want to miss.
Oh, and Mumford will be there too.

What to do on my summer vacation
I-90 tolls willimpact religious life
Growing up Jewish on Mercer Island, I knew being part of a Jewish community was very important to me.
� ere are two conservative syna-gogues in the Puget Sound area – one in Seattle and one on Mercer Island. � ere are two Jewish Community Centers (JCC) in the Puget Sound
area – one in Seattle and one on Mercer Island. � ere are two large chain grocery stores with fresh Kosher meat in the Puget Sound area – one in Seattle and one on Mercer.
Like so many others, I chose to live on the Eastside (in Bellevue along the I-90 corridor) speci� cally in order to have easy access to the center of Jewish life that exists on Mercer Island. Over the past 10 years, I have commuted to Mercer Island at least 10 times a week to get my children to and from childcare at the JCC.
I have commuted to Mercer Island
at least eight times a week to get my children to and from Hebrew School at Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation. I have commuted to Mercer Island at least an additional six times a week to attend services at Herzl-Ner Tamid, work out at the JCC, and buy Kosher food at the Alb-ertsons on Mercer Island.
Tolling I-90 could make being an active member of the Eastside Jewish Community cost prohibitive. It is incumbent upon the WSDOT to not restrict access to religious life.Ilyse Wagner, Bellevue
The $10 billion transportation tax package rolled out Wednesday by House Democrats in Olympia certainly is an eye-opener. But it might just what
the public needs to focus on how we move people and products in our state.
� e plan would boost taxes on gasoline by 10 cents a gallon and add a car-tab tax of 0.7 percent on the value of a vehicle. � e plan also would put a $25 sales tax fee on bicycle worth $500 or more.
All of this – plus how the money would be spent – will be one of the most debated issues of the legislative session. And, we suspect, around dinner tables and water coolers by everyone else.
Credit 41st Legislative District Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, with taking on this tough task. Her district includes half of Bellevue and we suspect she – like the rest of us – sees transportation woes on a daily basis.
We won’t try to give a blessing or a curse to the proposal yet. Like you, we want to poke into the bill’s details � rst. But as more people move here and use our roads, and as those continue to deteriorate, it should be obvious that doing nothing isn’t an option.
If you drive on I-405, you see that problem every day. � e same is true if you’ve ever gotten bogged down in tra� c trying to travel from our state to Oregon. Even Snoqualmie Pass is o� en overloaded.
� e bill doesn’t include money to complete the new Evergreen Point bridge. Maybe it should, but tolls – if expanded to I-90 – could take care of that funding issue. Any while no one likes tolls, you can make a good argu-ment that in this instance they are a targeted user tax.
Some already had cried that a 10-cent gasoline tax increase (2 cents a year for each of � ve years), would give our state the highest gas tax in the nation. � at shouldn’t be the issue. Instead, we should concentrate on what we need to keep people moving on our roads and how do we pay for the needed costs.
Let’s start talking.

Puget Sound Energy (PSE), 10885 NE 4th St. Bellevue, WA, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Storm- water NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Coal Creek Replacement Project is located where Coal Creek and Coal Creek Parkway intersect in the City of Bellevue. The City’s pro- ject involves replacing an exist- ing 9-foot culvert with a 39-foot wide bottomless culvert. PSE will be required to disconnect then reconnect its nearby natural gas main prior to the City’s project start and then after the culvert work completion. Storm- water could be discharged to Coal Creek. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology re- garding this application, or inter- ested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a mea- surable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest accord- ing to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173- 201A-320.Comments can be submitted to:Department of EcologyAttn: Water Quality Program, Construction StormwaterP.O.

I am a librarian whose children lose books. It happens. When a notice came home that Hairball From Outer Space was overdue
from my son’s school library we looked every-where. We never found it.
I was embarrassed that other librarian friends or parents would hear about it. “Psst,” they would whisper. “There’s the librarian’s kid. Did you hear he lost a book?”
I’m sure there’s a saying about it somewhere: The carpenter’s house is never finished, the cobbler’s kids have no shoes and the librarian’s
kid loses books. It’s not easy keeping
track of multiple ac-counts, especially when family members inadver-tently check things out on each other’s cards. King County Library System offers a convenient solu-tion for busy families.
Library Elf is a pro-gram that allows users to consolidate multiple card accounts. You can set it
up to receive texts or emails when things are due soon, holds have come in and when holds are about to expire.
When you log in to your Library Elf ac-count, you can even view a calendar feature that shows up to three months of relevant dates of holds and due dates.
Signing up is easy. Visit the Library Elf website, libraryelf.com. Create an account
using your email and a PIN of your choice. Add your library card by selecting “WA-King County Library System (subscriber)” from the list of libraries. Enter your card number and PIN, then choose what kinds of reminders you would like and how you would like to receive them. These notices are different from the generated notices that KCLS delivers. You can call your local library to have those cancelled if you don’t want multiple notices. Or maybe you do.
A Library Elf account may not ensure that your kids won’t lose books but it will give you the advantage of having their cards in one convenient place so you can start looking before something is due. If your house is any-thing like mine, I highly recommend looking behind the toy box. It’s amazing what you’ll find back there.

It’s been two years since Stan Parente of Stan Parente Salons decided to expand into the
Bellevue City Center. As he assesses the progress over the past two years, Stan is happy but wants more.
Before opening in Bellevue, he had considered many other locations - the � rst being Seattle. Stan started his career in Seattle and has always had a desire to go back. But, with the state of the economy hitting the city fairly hard, Bellevue became a better option.
Stan’s only hesitation was whether Bellevue would embrace his salon’s style. He says, “Typically, high-end salons tend to have a snobby setting and are trying too hard to be cool!” He adds, “At Stan Parente Salons, the environment is exactly the opposite.” He likes a fun, comfortable, and easy-going atmosphere.
Stan’s � agship location, Salon Parente in Federal Way, and his second adventure, Stan Parente Salon - Maple Valley, prove his methods are successful. For many years, clients of both locations have loved to be part of the fun. Most of the salon’s clients build life-long relationships with their stylist. Stan has come to the conclusion that Bellevue and the city’s wonderful people are no di� erent.
A� er � nding a salon to makeover, he made some slight changes in sta� ng and added some new faces to the mix.
Stan then implemented a very structured training program, which he feels is the most important element of success. He has also cultivated a strong relationship with Oribe, Bumble and Bumble, and Wella. With Stan’s own education program, combined with both the national and international training that all three companies provide, the stylists at Stan Parente Salons have access to a complete and thorough training experience.
Oribe, Bumble and Bumble, and Wella also provide events that inspire the stylist. For instance, Sephora and Bumble and Bumble are putting on an event on March 10th for Sephora’s Gold members. � e Bellevue salon will host this event, with stylists from all three locations. � e stylists will give these clients lessons on all of Bumble and Bumble’s products, teaching them how to use them to the best of their potential.
Stan is also very excited about the launch of the Man Cave at the Bellevue location. � e Man Cave is a just-for-men space, equipped with two talented stylists, Quinn and Parker, who have devoted their careers to men’s styling.
Stan has also added a new skin care room, sta� ed by one of the best estheticians from the Maple Valley location. Stan says, “Marcie is amazing. With her already long list
of clients, you better get an appointment with her now because it won’t be long before it will be pretty di� cult to get in with her.”
With all of the amazing changes that have occurred within Stan Parente Salon - Bellevue and the amazing growth of the brand, Stan wants to make it very clear that the best is yet to come. Stay tuned for the latest and greatest to come out of Stan Parente Salons!

“� is group is special.”� at seems to be the general consensus
about the “Hyak Co� ee Club” – a group of women hailing from the Kelsey Creek neighborhood, who meet for co� ee and good conversation on the third Wednesday of every month.
Started by Jo Bourgoin, nearly 45 years ago, the original intent of the gathering was to connect with neighbors and talk garden-ing. Each month, Bourgoin would run through a list of approximately 30 women, call them and set up a meeting. When word of her hospitality and kind nature spread, the group began to grow.
“I hosted 14 or 15 people in my living room – until I ran out of cups,” Bourgoin said.
When the group outgrew Bourgoin’s liv-ing room, others within the neighborhood began to host. And throughout the years, the numbers have stayed about the same.
“� ere are usually a dozen women.” said Jeri Albertini, who’s been attending the gathering for � ve years.
Two years ago, the group decided to start meeting at Let’s Do Lunch, o� 130th in Bellevue.
“Now none of us has to play hostess,” says Pearl Nardella, whose been attending the gathering since 1986.
� e rules for the gatherings are simple: no politics, no religion, no gossip. And de-spite the limitations, conversations abound: family updates, real estate, the safety of the neighborhood and the status of Kelsey Creek Park are just the tip of the iceberg
when it comes to these ladies.
� e longevity of the group is another im-pressive feat, something Albertini attributes to the fact that they genuinely all want to be there.
“We all get along,” she said.
So well, in fact, that a number of women who have since moved away from the neighborhood continue to return. � at’s the case for Joyce Vodal, who now lives in Edmonds, but continues to make the trip each month to connect with her friends.
“It’s a good way to stay in touch,” Vodal said.
Tamar White has also had a long history with the group, having started attending with her mother years ago.
“She liked to come to this, so I would bring her,” White said.
Now an employee at the Kelsey Creek Farm, White continues to attend because it keeps her in touch with her community.
“I think it’s really important for neighbors to connect.”
Up until a few years ago, Bourgoin was the one doing all the calling, though Alber-tini has since taken over the duties. Even so, Bourgoin continues to attend – when she’s feeling up to it.
“I like seeing people I haven’t seen [in a
while],” Bourgoin said.While the gathering never has a spe-
ci� c agenda, an exception was made this Wednesday, when the group took a moment to recognize Bourgoin, the woman who started it all.
“Jo turns 90 next month,” Albertini said, presenting the founder with � owers and a card. “And we won’t meet again before it.”
Hugs were given, songs were sung and the chatter continued. A few minutes later, amongst empty co� ee cups and half eaten scones, Nardella asked the group to pause; Bourgoin had something to say.
“� is has been a wonderful day,” Bour-goin said. “I’m looking forward to next year!”Keegan Prosser: [email protected]
Conversation helps brew a long tradition

when savings estimates come in. But Huenefeld is also wary of the environmen-tal complications of building the alignment along a wetland sensitive area, just north of Mercer Slough Nature Park, itself brie� y considered for light rail.
She points to a puddle at the back of her property, standing water she says is there almost year-round a� er the sidewalk was built. When 112th was constructed, some neighbors remember one of the construc-tion vehicles disappearing in the middle of the night as it sunk into the marshy terrain. In fact, says Huenefeld, when repaired, the road had to eventually be constructed on Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) panels, to counteract poor soil conditions.
Don Billen, East Link deputy project di-rector says he hears resident concerns, but that Sound Transit meets federal standards for noise mitigation and environmental protection. � e question now, is whether Bellevue councilmembers think they need to go above and beyond federal and state requirements.
At the end of March, Sound Transit will publish an addendum to the environmental review that addresses alignment changes considered during the cost savings process, such as those along 112th. Places along 112th could need ground improvements, says Billen. In locations where the soil isn’t � rm enough to support the weight of the light rail system, columns may be inserted into the ground, stretching down to harder soil.
� e City Council met again Tuesday, Feb. 19 to discuss topics that came up during the public hearing. Discussions of setback and bu� ering were revisited. � e council plans to vote on the overlay next Monday.

As a small business operator in the tech industry, I know great employees are the building blocks of any company’s
success. To stay competitive and have a thriv-ing business, our company needs to recruit and retain top talent.
One of the most important aspects of recruiting and retaining our employees is our state’s quality of life.
When Tecplot started back in the ’80s, the company was in a position to choose where to set up business, and one of the big reasons
for locating in the Seattle area was the spec-tacular outdoor quality of life. And compa-nies like ours continue to move here – growth in healthcare, high-tech, � nance industries is outpacing other parts of the country.
Our team can tackle Mount Si or ride the
trails at Tiger Mountain a� er work and back-pack in the Cascades on the weekends. We can recruit and retain talented employees by highlighting these incredible recreational opportunities, which o� er an outlet for relaxation and inspiration. We want our em-ployees to be happy at work, but also happy in the place where they live, a place where they enjoy their lifestyles.
Close-to-home access to the outdoors doesn’t only help us attract and retain the most talented em-ployees. I believe it helps our team stay passionate, committed and creative. A recent cover story in Out-side Magazine points to increasing scienti� c data about the bene� ts of the outdoors to reducing stress and boosting creativity. It can give a company like ours a competitive advantage.
Economists say that competitive advan-tage is real – and they see it in communities across the West. A new report, West is Best by the nonpro� t economic research group Headwaters Economics, says that the western United States is outperforming the rest of the country in job creation, personal income, and population growth, and that protected lands – like national parks, monuments, and wil-derness – are providing western states with a competitive economic advantage that helps create more jobs. Speci� cally:
From 1970 to 2010, the West’s employment grew by 152 percent compared to 78 percent for the rest of the country. � is job growth was almost entirely in services industries such as healthcare, real estate, high-tech, and � nance and insurance, which created 19.3 million net new jobs, .
Rural western counties with more than 30 percent of their land base in federal protected status (such as national parks, monuments or wilderness) increased jobs by 345 percent over the last 40 years. Similar counties with no protected federal public lands increased employment by only 83 percent.
Maintaining this competitive advantage requires balancing development of our public lands with protections for the places our communities care about — those irreplace-able landscapes that local sportsmen, skiers, climbers, hikers, and even us techies count on for our way of life.
� e logical conclusion is continued sup-port of programs like the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the nation’s premier funding source to protect our outdoors and provide public access to the outdoors.
Dealing responsibly with the federal gov-ernment’s de� cit problems requires identify-ing and prioritizing what our nation needs most to compete in the world today and continue to support companies like mine that rely on a skilled and balanced work-force. Congress and the White House should keep America’s parks and public lands on the priority list.
Rich Stillman is CEO of Tecplot, Inc. in Bel-levue, a company that produces visualization so� ware for engineers and scientists.

Standing at the supermarket checkout stand, my great-uncle noticed that his tab had come to $19.99. He handed over a twenty-dollar bill – the
cash register opened and closed – and then the female clerk just stood and looked at him.
“Will there be anything else?” she � nally said.
“Yes,” Great-uncle replied. “I believe I have some change coming.”
� e clerk, with eyes rolling like a pair of marbles, opened the register and produced a penny – which she depos-ited into my great-uncle’s timeworn, outstretched hand. He smiled and said,
“� ank you.”� at incident happened perhaps 50 years ago, but I
still remember it. It was a time when – at least to people like my great-uncle – a penny meant something.
In 1913, according to Time magazine, a penny had nearly 25 times the purchasing power it has today. But now it costs more than two cents to produce a penny. I was never much good at math, but that sounds like a bad deal – as if a penny saved is a de� cit earned.
Earlier this month, Canada stopped circulating pen-nies – and there are some who think the U.S. should too. My grandma would have said, “If Canada jumps o� a cli� , should the U.S.?”
When I was a kid, there were actually things you could buy for a penny – speci� cally bubble gum. My friends and I used to stop o� en at a small grocery store in our neighborhood for that very reason.
But the guy who owned the place hated kids – and resented us coming in to buy single pieces of Bazooka. So he began wrapping the gum – � ve pieces at a time – in scotch tape, so we’d have to pay a minimum of � ve cents for gum. He broke us. Look up the word “evil” in my dictionary, and you’ll see the guy’s picture.
� ings these days aren’t much better for the nickel, which now costs 10 cents to make. Anybody ever notice that the nickel is twice as big as the dime? Could that possibly be the reason?
� e US used to have a $100,000 bill, but stopped printing it since it was so hard to break one at Quizno’s.
If the US eventually eliminates the penny, what are we going to insert into penny loafers?
What’s to become of all those penny slot machines at the Tulalip?
What are we going to use as makeshi� screwdrivers?What will we use in the garden as cheap slug repel-
lants? (Pennies supposedly give slugs a tiny electric shock.)
How much will we have to pay for someone’s thoughts? Seems like a nickel ought to get you � ve of them – but I know people with only four thoughts, max.
Every time it rains, what will it rain from Heaven?And what will kids have to place onto railroad tracks
for the purposes of � attening?I don’t have the answers to any of those questions.
And even if I did, my opinion wouldn’t be worth a red quarter.

without CPAP or Snoring
Alternative to CPAP Therapy Today approximately 18 million, or 1 in 15 Americans experience Sleep Apnea, a sleep disorder involving the airway that disrupts a person’s sleep o� en leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, overall poor health, and in some cases, even death. According to Dr. Je� ery Doneskey, Oral Medicine Specialist and founder of � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center in Bellevue, therapy for the disorder can be di� cult. “� e most common treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) involves the use of a medical breathing device called a CPAP, “ said Doneskey. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, delivers air through a mask worn over the nose during sleep in order to help maintain an open airway. While CPAP can provide an e� ective solution, Doneskey reports that there are signi� cant reasons why some people are unwilling or unable to use CPAP. “For example, restless sleepers o� en
report having di� culty with getting comfortable and keeping the mask on during the night. Others may have trouble keeping a seal around the mask and must use head straps to keep their mouth closed while asleep,” said Doneskey. According to Doneskey, patients also express lifestyle concerns such as the inconvenience of taking CPAP along when they travel or go on vacation. At � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center, Doneskey reports high levels of patient satisfaction, compliance and success with a new oral appliance called “� e SilentPartner™, a jaw-friendly FDA approved oral airway dilator that Doneskey himself helped develop. According to Doneskey, � e SilentPartner is a comfortable, fully adjustable mouth appliance that allows the jaw to be safely placed in the optimum position to keep the airway open. In addition to keeping the airway open, � e SilentPartner eliminates snoring in most patients while
protecting the teeth of patients who clench during their sleep. � is appliance is so well received that according to Doneskey, more than 90 percent of his patients over the last 5 years are able to use � e Silent-Partner on a full time basis.~ Provided by Dr. Je� Doneskey of � e
Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center. Online at www.doneskey.com
The SilentPartner™ is used to e� ectively treat:
• Snoring • Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Patients who are unable to use CPAP • TMJ clicking and locking • Classic TMJ disorders
• Patients who are unable to use CPAP

Another state title trophy is back on Wolverine Way, this one for the � rst time in 36 years.
Bellevue’s Christian Villani stormed through the 132 pound bracket at Mat Classic XXV in the Tacoma Dome, capping the performance with a dominating 14-0 technical fall victory over Tyler Wicken of Kelso in the � nals.
Villani, only a sophomore, pinned Mount Spokane’s Richie Bondurant in the � rst round before taking out Decatur’s Isiah Diggs 6-1 in what would be his clos-est match of the tournament. He opened Saturday with a 15-0 technical fall win over Kamiakin’s Harley Kolp before dispatching Wicken in the � nals to bring home Bel-levue’s � rst wrestling state championship since Ted Cheng in the 1977-78 season.
Villani took an injury defeat in the � nal match at the Regional meet a� er winning his � rst two matches by pin and was also the KingCo champion in his weight class.
Cutter Podoll dropped both of his matches at 152 pounds for Bellevue, as did Jamey Mange at 170 and Dean Jones at 285.
Behind Villani’s title, Bellevue � nished 25th in the team scoring with 26.5 points,
the best � nish for a KingCo school in the 3A tournament and just in front of Mercer Island. University took the team scoring title just in front of Decatur.
Daniel Montoya made the � eld at 138 pounds for Interlake, losing his � rst match before winning a 4-3 decision and another by a score of 5-1. A 10-5 decision sent the Saints’ senior to the seventh-place match, where he fell in a 15-7 decision to Dylan Read of Bainbridge Island.
Newport junior David Yingling lost both of his matches at 106 pounds in the
4A bracket, both by decision. Teammate Austin Curtis won his � rst match of the tournament over KJ Skannal with a third round pin before dropping two straight decision, the second a 7-5 overtime defeat to Battleground’s Tyler Dady.
Perennial power Lake Stevens won the 4A team scoring going away in front of second place � nisher Tahoma. Nine 4A KingCo teams took at least one wrestler to

For the � rst time since 2002, the Newport boys basketball team is among the state’s � nal 16 teams.
� e Knights beat Mount Vernon 66-55 on Tuesday in a pigtail game to earn the � nal regional round spot and set a Saturday date with Eastmont at Wenatchee High School.
Will Ferris paced coach Steve Haizlip’s squad with 19 points and the Knights also got 17 from Isaac Dot-son, 15 from Miles Fowler and 11 more from Jason Lock.
Haizlip said his team’s ability to persevere through a rash of injuries has been indicative of the group’s desire.
“A lot of teams might start pointing � ngers or blaming the fact we haven’t been healthy,” he said. “� ey just stuck together.”
� e win for the boys team sends Newport to the regional round of the state tournament, where they will face an Eastmont squad that defeated rival Wenatchee in its district title game.
“� ey are a very good team and have proven they can win,” Haizlip said. “From here on out, every team is good and you’re go-ing to get the best.”
Also conference champs, the Wildcats are paced by senior guard J.J. Jahr, who scored 18 points in the district title game win.
For Newport’s seniors, the home court win not only o� ered an encore of Senior Night, but an op-portunity to � nally bury the memories of the 2010-11 season, when that group was sophomores and exited the postseason in the same pigtail game they won on Tuesday.
“I’m so happy for this group,” Haizlip said. “It’s a very special group and I love these guys to death. But they are not satis� ed.”
Lake Stevens spoiled the party for the Newport girls, leaving with a 48-43 win behind a game-high 22 points from Brooke Pahukoa.
� e loss ends the season for the Knights.

What do you buy for the birthday honoree who asks for gi� s that cost less than $5? When this request arrived via email I ignored it. It sounded
too much like the rule of the annual Christmas gag gi� party my husband and I go to, except that gi� , as well as being cheap, must also be horrid.
Most of us would � nd the under-$5 request challenging to ful� ll. Perhaps a loaf of bread, or this month, a gallon of gas. However, our creative host for this particular birthday party scrounged around in her basement and found not one, but three gi� s. Later, she took us on a tour of said basement, so we could put in our requests for our own future,
previously-owned birthday presents.Choosing one’s own gi� s — whether in a store or some-
one’s basement — has always seemed the sensible thing to do for the obvious reason that you get what you want. Even
more important, it spares you that uncomfortable mo-ment when you are looking at something you would never choose for yourself and the gi� -giver is searching your face for the joyful expression that is not appearing nearly fast enough.
In her hilarious poem, “Gi� s that keep on giving,” Marge Piercy catalogs undesirable gi� s (and given the size of the list she must have had many bad experiences in gi� receiving), starting with the most common unwelcome Christmas o� ering – fruitcake. She goes on to describe majolica vases “in the shape of wheezing frogs,” “gloves to � t three-toed sloths,” “mu� ers of screaming plaid acrylic,” and many more.
� ese days most of us have too much stu� , so buying adults gi� s other than the disposable kind (as in, those disposed of by eating) just seems wrong. But opening our closets, drawers and bookshelves to friends and sharing something of ours with them, might be a satisfying way to create enough space in the basement or garage. � is allows us to reposition some-thing from the house to one of those sites.
Of course we all have treasures that we aren’t ready to part with. In my case, the shelf of gag gi� s we’re saving until December is de� nitely o� -limits.

More than 150 of King and Snohomish counties’ bright-est and most inventive high school students will compete March 9 in Bellevue College’s 4th annual Central Sound Regional Science and Engineering Fair (CSRSEF).
� e participants have spent months conducting inde-pendent research, either individually or in teams, in one of 17 science, math and engineering categories. Projects will be evaluated for creativity, depth of content, thoroughness, clarity and other criteria by local science and engineering professionals.
� e registration deadline for participants is Feb. 27.� e public is invited to view the projects and submit
their votes for the “People’s Choice Award” from 1 to 3 p.m. on March 9 in Bellevue College’s gymnasium. Additionally, those who attend can see several science and engineering demonstrations on topics such as computer science, chem-istry, physics, entomology, and more.
� e grand prize winners, as well as winners in additional categories, will be announced at the awards ceremony at 3 p.m. Students involved in the top two projects will win all-expense-paid trips to represent the central Puget Sound region at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, Ariz., May 13-17, which draws over 1,500 high school students from 40 countries.
Last year’s � rst runners-up, Caroline Shouraboura and Shanthi Shanmugam from Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue, went on to win a fourth place Grand Award in the Mathematics category and several special awards at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for their project, “Optimal Allocation of Global Constrained Resources Using the Hyperbolic Voronoi Diagram.”

As part of an ongoing pipeline replacement by Bellevue Utilities, the city has issued permits for 1,250 lineal feet in Meydenbauer Bay. � e project is expected to begin this summer, but has received extra attention because the line is partially located underwa-
ter, in a corner of Lake Washington that has a fragile ecosystem.
Built nearly 60 years ago, the pipe-line has since deteriorated. Because of the location of the pipeline, environ-mental concerns will be taken into consideration. Construction will take place during the “� sh window,” said Jay Hummel of the City of Bellevue,
from mid-July through the end of December, to minimize its impacts on species, including Puget Sound Chi-nook Salmon, Puget Sound steelhead and bull trout.
Once complete, the replacement line in Lake Washington will be covered with gravel appropriate for salmon spawning.

� e opera’s anniversary celebration climaxes in August 2014 with the International Wagner Competition and a special celebration honoring Speight Jenkins, the com-pany’s general director since 1983.
“For my � nal season at Seattle Opera, I am delighted to present singers who have thrilled our audience time and again in recent years,” Jenkins said.

Tickets to the competition and concert are now available for season subscribers. More information is available at seattleopera.org/operas.

� ere’s a lot to be said about learn-ing by example. At least that’s what the parents and educators at Puesta del Sol believe.
� at’s why, during the � rst three weeks of March, the Bellevue-based Spanish immersion school will welcome well-known Puerto Rican musician and educator Angel “Balancé” Reyes and his son, Otoquí Reyes, as part of their new Artist in Residence program.
� e idea of bringing profession-als into the school is not a new one, said María Feliciano, who is a parent coordinator on the Spanish Immersion through the Arts committee. In fact, the school has been bringing artists - of all mediums - in to the classroom, for the past three years.
“Every year, we [bring in] between two and three artists,” said Feliciano about the PTA-sponsored committee.
However, the Artists in Residence program will allow the artists to spend an extended amount of time with the students.
� e idea to bring Angel and Otoquí Reyes to the school came about a� er a number of teachers and parents on the committee were introduced to Angel during a short educational trip last year.
“Some of the teachers went to his classes and thought he would be per-fect,” Feliciano said.
Angel is a multifaceted artist, drawing connections between traditional Bomba drumming and his early training in other percussion instruments. In addi-tion to traveling the world with his en-
semble, Agüeybaná, Angel has recorded several Bomba albums and continues to teach dance and music.
Otoquí’s � rst professional experience with Bomba music came very early in his life, with his father’s ensemble. Currently, Otoquí teaches Bomba music and performance in various cities in Puerto Rico and is the founding and creative director of his own group, “Hi-jos de Agüeybaná,” an innovative e� ort that seeks to retain traditional song and dance and project it internationally.
For the artist in resident program, the Reyes will work together with Puesta teachers Ricardo Güity Blanco and Dr. Sharon Cronin, to lead students in an ethnomusicological discovery of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and their in� uence on contemporary culture. While the
curriculum is most heavily aimed to-ward the fourth and � � h grade classes, who will be working with the artists twice a week, grades K-3 will work with the artists as well.
“� e main goal is to enhance the im-mersion setting for kids who live in [the Seattle area],” Feliciano said. “� e other one is to reinforce critical thinking skills through art.”
In this tradition, Feliciano said the committee is already brainstorming ideas for which artists to invite next.
“We found a group in Mexico - a husband and wife team, who do music and art together,” she said.
� e Reyes will be introduced to the community during Puesta del Sol’s International Festival, taking place at Newport High School on March 2.

Movie-goers could order a tub of popcorn, a giant pretzel and a cold beer if legislation under consideration is approved by the Legislature.
House Bill 1001 may help independent, locally owned theaters compete with large chain multiplexes, supporters say. Rep. Jim Moeller (D-49th District, Vancouver), who introduced the bill, stated this intent at a public hearing be-fore the House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee on Jan. 17
“� is bill is about small theaters,” he said. “It’s about historic theaters like the Kiggins in my hometown.”
Dan Wyatt Jr., who, along with his father, owns the Kiggins � eatre, said during the hearing that small the-aters lack the space and corporate buying power of large, multiple-screen theaters. High-quality digital projection is
very costly, he said, as is getting the latest blockbuster titles to show in the single-screen venue.
Being able to serve beer and wine to adult patrons would give small theaters another source of revenue to compete with suburban multiplexes, Wyatt said.
Some multiplexes, such as the Cinebarre in Mountlake Terrace north of Seattle, are able to serve alcohol because they also serve meals; under liquor laws, they qualify as restaurants. Small theaters, such as the one owned by Kig-gins, don’t have room for a full kitchen and dining area.
� e license provided under the new legislation would cost $400 per year to serve beer, wine or both with no requirements for serving food.
Representatives from the Washington State Liquor Con-trol Board said controlling alcohol that is being consumed in a dark theater with minors present, as well as the di� er-ent needs of large multiplexes and smaller theaters, need to be addressed.
Some opponents of the bill say that allowing alcohol in more places encourages and normalizes alcohol abuse and sends a harmful message to kids.
On Jan. 29, the bill was passed unanimously with minor amendments by the House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee. � e bill now goes to the House Rules Committee, which could set it for a � oor vote, or direct it to another committee for additional consideration.
Its Senate companion bill is SB 5111.
Is it a ‘Good Day to Die Hard’ – and have a beer?Bill in Legislature would let movie theaters serve alcohol to adults

Jean “Stevie” Pyfer Jean “Stevie” Pyfer passed away peacefully at home on
Thursday, February 7, 2013. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and was able to spend her last days at home.

Her 5th “daughter,” Anita Je!erson, was also a great companion to her over the years.

She was married to Dr. Howard Pyfer for over 50 years and together they enjoyed traveling and perfecting the art of grandparenting.

She asked that her four daughters hold a party to celebrate her life. To honor her request, friends and family are invited to gather at her condominium tomorrow, Feb. 23rd from 2:00 – 4:00PM.
In lieu of "owers, the family suggests donations be made to the King County Humane Society or a charity of your choice.
