The fiancé of a Bellevue woman who died in a car crash on Nov. 11 – a man with a reported history of violence who had reportedly been released from jail recently— has been identified as the driver in last week’s hit-and-run accident and is being held on $2 million bail.

Robert T. Jackson, Jr., 38, is being charged with vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run after the Nov. 11 crash in which the victim, Lindsay Hill, 35, was ejected from the vehicle. She died at the scene from blunt force injury to the head and a skull fracture, according to the medical exam-iner’s office.

Witnesses reported seeing Jackson fleeing the scene and later wandering around the nearby

apartment complex in which he lived with the victim, covered in blood. He was apprehended by police after a brief struggle involving three officers and a taser.

Hill leaves behind two sons, the elder of whom reportedly ran to the scene of the collision and found the crashed car and his mother’s body.

Friends and family remember Hill has been warm and friendly, having made a group of friends in person and online.

“Lindsay was a wonderful person. She was always laughing and smiling and bringing out the best in people. She cared dearly for her two boys. My heart is shattered,” said Chere Bautista.

Another of Hill’s friends, Mechelle Chang, described her as vivacious and caring.

“She was a wonderful mother, her boys were everything to her. The words I keep coming back to are vivacious, loving and bubbly…People loved her,” she said.

Unfortunately, Hill had been the victim in more than one abusive relationship, Chang said.

Sound Transit has accepted a bid for the Downtown Bellevue Tunnel Contract for the East Link light rail extension, and construction could begin as soon as next month.

Guy F. Atkinson Construction, LLC, a Colorado-based contractor which does business locally out of Renton, secured the contract with a bid of $121,446,551 — 23 percent less than Sound Transit’s estimated costs. There were seven total bids.

The notice to proceed for construction should be issued in December. Construc-tion is planned to last 4 1/2 years. The bid comes with a 10 percent contingency cost of $12,144,655, for a total authorized contract not to exceed $133,591,206.

Sound Transit was expected to give final approval on Thursday, Nov. 19.


King County Public Health estimates show that parts of Bellevue have com-paratively more uninsured residents than the rest of King County, despite the gains made county- and statewide.

Four zip codes in the greater Bellevue area — 98052, 98007, 98004 and 98056 — rank within the top 20 zip codes in the county for uninsured residents com-piled by the county.

Just over six months since he took over the reins of the Bellevue Police Department, Chief Steve Mylett is laying out a new program that he says will help facilitate communication, reduce the amount and fear of crime in the community.

“The Bellevue Police Department’s Tomorrow Pro-gram is a future-focused program that provides a strat-egy to deal with the issues of today and the challenges of tomorrow,” said Mylett.

The multifaceted plan, which Mylett first announced at the department’s volunteer luncheon last month, will address emerging crime issues seen in the changing city.

Property crimes are plaguing Bellevue, often to sup-port drug habits, Mylett said. The city is also seeing serial burglars and car prowlers who travel up and down the Eastside, including serials burglars apprehended in July and September.

Overall, the types of crime Bellevue faces are fairly in line with similarly sized cities, but the overall crime rate is lower, Mylett said, adding that even one victim is one too many.

The program will divide Bellevue into three sectors, each overseen by a different sector captain.

“This is going to be a tremendous tool to help facili-tate communication between the police department and the different sections of Bellevue,” said Mylett.

The sectors — western, northeastern and southern Bellevue — were developed by the department’s three captains based on the population, natural boundaries and activities.

A similar system was implemented in his two previous departments, and the results were phenomenal, Mylett said. Those departments saw increased trust between the police and community, increased communication and an effective way to reduce crime and the fear of crime.

The department will also be implementing the Comp-Stat system, which uses crime data and statistics to help make decisions about deploying resources. For example, Mylett said, if the data shows motor vehicle prowls throughout the Downtown Bellevue area but not many

elsewhere in the city, why would the department spread resources equally instead of focusing in on hotspots?

Communication both within the department and to the community plays a large part in CompStat, and the Tomorrow program as a whole.

“In a lot of police departments, you see the silo effect, where investigations doesn’t talk to patrol, patrol doesn’t talk to narcotics, narcotics not talking to the gang unit and all of that… This forces everybody to come together on a regular basis,” he said.

Several other initiatives are included in the program, including the development of a new strategic plan, a new department organization model and commission-ing self-directed work teams. The latter will include members of the department, faith-based organizations, educators, business owners and other citizens who will make recommendations to Mylett on certain issues.

Overall, the effect the program will have the commu-nity will be subtle, Mylett said. Generally, residents will see and hear members of the department more.

Implementation of the Tomorrow Program has begun and will continue over the next year.

City considers reinstating bike copsThe city council is considering adding five bike pa-

trol officers to the police force to stem a rise in property crimes, including car thefts and prowls, in the down-town, BelRed and Factoria areas.

In 2011, at the height of the recession, the city cut its five-officer bicycle patrol as part of an effort to balance the budget. Police Chief Steve Mylett is asking the council to add those positions back to the city’s budget as a mid-biennium adjustment.

According to a memo prepared for the council, a bike patrol could help police fight property crimes, which rose by 21 percent in Bellevue from 2010 to 2014.

The restoration of a five-officer bike patrol would cost $680,000 next year, then $530,000 annually after that. Budget director Toni Rezab told the council that rising revenue would support the restoration of the bike patrol.

The council is scheduled to approve mid-biennium adjustments on Dec. 7.

School district shows anti-military attitude

I want to thank Publisher William Shaw’s edito-rial, “It’s Never Too Late to Thank a Veteran‚" (Nov. 13, 2015). However, in the greater Seattle area, it just simply falls on deaf ears. This area of the country was and remains very much anti-military. Do I sound bitter? Of course, but it is based on 45 years of personal experience.

I came through SeaTac on the way to/from Viet-nam. It was not a pleasant experience. I moved to Seattle in 1976, but, based on the attitude of the Seattleites, I chose to not speak of my military back-ground.

However, about five years ago, I began wearing Vietnam Veteran baseball cap. Have I been thanked for my service in these recent years? Indeed not. As a matter of fact, locals notice my cap and, at best, ignore it or, in many cases, turn away with disgust or fear on their faces. There has been occasional exceptions, but all of them were other veterans or a member of a veteran family.

Recently, the anti-military/soldier attitude was, again, reinforced by the Bellevue School District. For their Veterans Day assemblies, the district asked for photo submittals from the veterans. However, it requested that all photos not include any image of a weapon. Really? I was an infantryman in Vietnam. It was required that I’d never be without a weapon within an easy reach. That was my job for the year I was in Vietnam.

I wander what is Bellevue school administrators’ “politically correct” perception of veterans? Are the textbook portrayal of the patriots’ on the Bunker Hill shown without muskets? The soldiers of the South and the North at the Gettysburg without their rifles? WWI and WWII?

How sad that veterans are made to be subservi-ent to the views of those few who has never risked their life for our country and the freedom under which they can demand that we not trample on their minority views.

Kate’s Law makes senseIn a move rife with cynicism, Harry Reid has

blocked Kate’s Law from coming to a vote in the Sen-ate. Kate’s Law, you may recall, gives hard time to fel-ons who enter the United States illegally. It is named for Kate Steinle, a young woman who was gunned down by an illegal alien felon who had been deported five times.

Reid’s rationale (if you can call it that) is that Kate’s Law would be too expensive in imprisoning illegal alien felons. He thinks it would be far better to let them run around the streets of the USA unfettered.

Reid has voted scores of times for trillions of dollars of expenditures put forth by President Obama. Yet he now balks spending a few million to save American citizens? It’s obvious that Obama doesn’t want Kate’s Law passed. It’s equally obvious that Reid acts like a puppet on a string and does whatever he’s bidden.

It’s time for some Democrat senators to start acting like guardians of the people instead of political hacks doing the will of a lame-duck president.

Kate’s Law should transcend party lines. It makes sense and would give pause to other criminals think-ing about entering the United States illegally. I urge every voter to contact our own senators, Cantwell and Murray. Implore them to do what’s right. Vote for Kate’s Law.

Washington is keeping the welcome mat out for Syrian refugees, Gov. Jay Inslee said Monday.

“At a time when millions of Syrian families are at-tempting to flee ISIS and seek refuge in safer parts of the world, including the United States, there are some who say it’s time to close our doors to people whose lives are in peril,” Inslee said in a prepared statement.

“Washington will continue to be a state that welcomes those seeking refuge from persecution, regardless of where they come from or the religion they practice.”

And Inslee criticized governors who’ve announced their opposition to accepting refugees. He didn’t name names but the leaders of Michigan and Alabama are among those an-nouncing they want to keep refugees from settling in their states.

“It’s important to note that governors do not decide whether refugees come to their states. Those decisions are made by the federal government, and the U.S. State Department has a robust system in place to evaluate and place families who seek refugee status,” Inslee said.

“That makes these anti-refugee comments by gover-nors even more troublesome and of little value except to divide people and foment intolerance.”

Meanwhile, last week’s deadly attacks are not deter-ring Inslee’s plans to attend a United Nations summit on climate change in Paris next month.

Inslee intends to fly out Dec. 4 and attend four days of events before returning, according to spokeswoman Jaime Smith.

The governor’s travel expenses including airfare and hotel will be picked up by the Georgetown Climate Center, a nonpartisan group that works on policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help communities adapt to climate change.

The international conference, which is scheduled to run Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, is attracting President Barack Obama and other world leaders who will consider adopt-ing a plan for dealing with global warming.

The first-term Democratic governor will be part of the official U.S. State Department delegation.

DataSphere looks to democratize mobile advertisingBY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

Local tech startup DataSphere is making its name heard in a big way by offering coupons and deals for free to thousands of small businesses across the coun-try.

The company, founded in 2006 as a real estate mar-keter by former Amazon and Microsoft employees, has to make a change during 2009 as the nationwide reces-sion hit the economy hard.

Gary Cowan, senior vice president of the company, said the company looked at its assets and tried to adapt.

“We were working with real estate agents, who are small businesses in their own right,” he said. “We started reaching out to local businesses and expanded on that model.”

DataSphere offers mobile marketing to small busi-nesses who normally would not be able to afford it.

This accessible business model has appealed to more than 20,000 companies nationally. Many of these have elected to work with DataSphere’s Local Saver, a website which offers coupons and deals to consumers tailored for their geographic location.

“We could take these businesses and expose them to the public,” Cowan said. “Most commerce is done lo-cally. We pulled together local businesses to help them boost their revenue at an affordable rate.”

DataSphere can work with businesses with just a dollar a day in their marketing budget, getting them exposure locally that is typically reserved for massive corporations.

A beauty salon and pizza parlor have different ad-vertising needs and are thus marketed differently. The salon could reach out in a 10-mile radius while a pizza place might stay within a mile. This way, each business gets the best yield of customers.

With 375 total employees, 275 of whom are in Bel-levue, DataSphere hopes to provide a bit of a personal touch to every business looking to reach out on mobile and internet platforms.

Satbir Khanuja, president and CEO of DataSphere, said his company’s goal was to expand their services to every business who wanted to use them.

“Our mission is to truly democratize mobile market-ing for small business,” he said. “The only way to do that is through continuous innovation. Our mission will keep changing as the tools keep changing.”

Local Saver has expanded its offerings from 600,000 deals to more than three million in the year it has been operational. The application is available one Android and Apple products as well as online in a web browser.

A new program the company is excited to be imple-menting is Smart Layer. Cowan described Smart Layer as a multi-platform advertising service.

“Ad campaigns across all these platforms is very complex, it’s too much,” he said. “It used to be a simple prospect. We set up Smart Layer, it works across multi-ple ad networks and it takes advantage of the best kind

of targeting. We can target certain kinds of consumers.”This hyperlocal model toward advertising and mar-

keting is one DataSphere hopes can be used to expand to every small business in the country looking to increase visibility to consumers.

“We can set it up to auto-create ads,” Cowan said of Smart Layer’s versatility. “It’s a turnkey situation that gives them access. One press of the play button and it’s off.”

Delane Hewett, DataSphere’s chief technology of-ficer, has worked with some members of his team for decades, going back to his Microsoft days and develop-ing MSN shopping. He said the talent he works with in development is phenomenal.

For the nearly 300 employees in Washington, they hope growth is ahead as DataSphere continues to in-novate and respond to new technologies.

Bartell Drugs opens largest store in cityBY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

Following major expansion, Bartell Drugs has opened its largest location at Bellevue Village, with 20,100 square-feet in the store.

The location had its grand opening Nov. 8 and will have a grand-reopening sale Friday, Nov. 13 and Saturday, Nov. 14.

Bartell Drugs, which first opened in 1890, has 64 locations in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. The newly reopened location at 10116 Northeast 8th Street in downtown Bellevue (across from Bellevue Square) is the largest, after adding 5,500 square-feet in an expansion and remodel.

The store will feature a walk-in CareClinic and the “Bellevue Fountain” with a craft beer growler fill station, barista service and scooped ice cream.

Exterior changes include a clock tower, while the interior spotlights local partnerships including Washington bakeries, breweries and wineries.

Economic forecast bright for Eastside businessesBY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

Business leaders in Bellevue are bull-ish on the Eastside as a growing hub of business, and say economic trends are supporting their thoughts.

At the 2015 Eastside Economic Forecast Breakfast at Bellevue’s Hyatt Regency hotel, hundreds of entrepre-neurs, civic leaders and business owners gathered to get a snapshot of the East-side’s future.

According to a survey of the atten-dants, 96 percent of businesses were optimistic about business heading into 2016, compared to just 36 percent in 2008 at the cusp of the recession. How-ever, only 51 percent were positive on the economy in general.

Key markets the Eastside should be optimistic on include information tech-nology, business services, healthcare and social services.

Possible issues speakers at the meet-ing saw with healthy business growth include the regional economic climate, transportation and infrastructure, busi-ness taxes and employee healthcare costs.

Joe Quinlan, the chief marketing strategist for Bank of America, gave the keynote speech about national and global economic outlooks.

He said despite setbacks, the U.S. economy was still driving the global economy.

China will weather any economic storm as well, and collaboration between the United States and China will con-tinue to be vital in a global economic climate, he said.

A record trade deficit with the Euro-pean Union had Quinlan wary, but he did not the United States’ budget deficit continued to improve and could have positive impact on the national economy.

Locally, real estate investor Bill Pollard provided a bright forecast for Bellevue and Seattle.

“Seattle-Bellevue is in the top six in terms of capital inflow,” he said.

The other five top markets were New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, and San Francisco.

Developers are trending urban and away from suburban, he said, and both foreign and domestic capital is driving up prices.

“There have been 17,000 apartments built in Seattle this year,” Pollard said. “And 3,000 in Bellevue. The demand is there and the growth is there.”

More than anything, tenants want diverse retail and food choices within walking distance, a fact developers like Pollard have not overlooked.

Bellevue will continue to develop, the speakers said, but business owners need to keep themselves ahead of the tide and be aware of the growth the city should experience in the next decade.

and vibrant community.”The CareClinic in the new location

is a walk-in clinic open seven days a week and staffed by Group Health clinicians.

BY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue City Council voted to allow South Correctional Entity (SCORE) to raise the daily rates on beds for Bel-levue’s misdemeanant inmates at the facility.

The fourth amendment to the city’s original agreement with SCORE will raise the daily bed rates from $97 to $105, or 8.2 percent.

With an average of 12.2 inmates per day residing in SCORE, the increase will cost the City of Bellevue an addi-tional $30,000. Bellevue currently pays more than $420,000 each year for hous-ing costs at SCORE.

SCORE cites increasing medical and mental health needs among inmates as the impetus for the cost increase.

The additional cost is allowed under the original interlocal agreement signed in July 2012. Bellevue relied less on SCORE until 2014, when Snohomish County Jail ceased accepting inmates from King County.

The other amendments to the initial contract include minumum bed require-ments and other price jumps.

Bellevue contracts with three jails to house misdemeanant inmates: SCORE, Issaquah jail and King County Jail.

Bellevue fills Issaquah if at all posible first, then looks to SCORE. Both those facilities have a minumum requirement for filled beds. King County Jail has no such requirement, so that is only used for overflow inmate population.

In other city council news:• Council approved 30 mph speed

limits on 114th Avenue Northeast and Southeast between Northeast Second Street and Southeast 8th Street, the Northeast 4th Street extension between 116th and 120th Avenues Northeast, and the Northeast 2nd Street segment connecting 114th Avenue Northeast to 2nd.

• Council heard comment from Coali-tion of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sen-sible Energy spokespeople still looking to fight Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project running through Bel-levue.

• The Bellevue Human Services Com-mission recommended a lower amount of federal grant money. The city had requested $1,233,384 in Community Development Block Grants, but was recommended to take $775,000 by the commission. The largest recommended amount was for $215,000 for “major home repair with King County Housing Authority.”

Council accepts SCORE jail bed price increase


Enrollment in the Bellevue School District grew beyond the projected rate this fall, but administrators say class sizes remain relatively stagnant and below the state funded levels.

“We’re definitely growing— we’re averaging about three percen growtht a year, or a little less than 600 students a year. That’s an elementary school,” said Melissa DeVita, deputy superintendent of finance and operation for the district.

District officials had initially pre-

dicted that enrollment would increase from 19,186 students to 19,675, only to have this year’s student body tally in at 19,716.

Overall, the district experienced a 2.7 percent increase over the previous year. That number is in line with last year’s 3.2 percent the enrollment jump.

Total enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year grew by 598 students over the prior year, which was 278 more students than originally projected.

At the time, DeVita said that addi-

District enrollment up, but class sizes remain below state levels

November 11Bailin’ on the bill: The ‘victim’ called Bellevue Police to report his vehicle stolen, but later called back and stated that the vehicle was not stolen, but had been sold. The reason he lied was because he had gotten a toll bill from the state and the vehicle’s new owner’s information had not yet been transferred onto the account. It was unknown at the time if either party was attempting to avoid the new I-405 tolls.

November 12Beware of dog: An unknown suspect forcibly entered a garage on 162nd Avenue Northeast and stole tools. Someone was home at the time and the family dog was barking at the garage. The suspect apparently didn’t see a ‘Beware of Dog’ sign on the fence, but the dog saw him and began barking. Apparently afraid the bark-ing would alert the homeowner, the suspect prepared dog food to try and divert the dog. The suspect managed to bypass the dog, who was likely distracted by a squirrel. Homesick for high school: Officers responded to an alarm at a school under construction on 143rd Avenue Northeast, and found the suspect had cut through two fences to access the construction area. A K-9 track lead to the apartments at the Northwest corner of the school, but no suspects were located.

November 13Mailbox mischief: A building manager reported that approximately 66 mailboxes for the apartment’s residents had been pried open. It was unknown if any mail was taken, but it has been confirmed that anyone who pries open mailboxes to revise their letter to Santa does end up on the naughty list. Caught red-handed: A Bellevue of-ficer located several stolen items from the Bellevue You-Store-It for sale on ‘offerup.com’. The items were later pawned in Federal Way, but another officer made an arrangement to meet with the suspect at the Newport Hills Park and Ride to purchase more sto-len merchandise. When the suspect showed up, he was arrested without incident. Police are investigating further because the suspect maybe be tied to several other burglaries.Urine trouble: For the last several months, a homeless individual has created so many disturbances that customers say they are afraid to get out of their cars. He described that the suspect has thrown pallets into the street on multiple occasions, banged her hatchet against the fence threatening bus drivers and chased him with a bucket of urine threaten-ing him. The suspect was taken into custody for a mental evaluation.

November 14City hall hullabaloo: The suspect was having some sort of mental breakdown and was escorted by his wife to city hall, where he proceeded to kick over the heavy outdoor garbage can and at one point tossed a heavy metal ashtray over the rail-

ing from the second floor onto the first floor parking lot below. He rushed toward two police officers and threatened to kill them. He was taken into custody, and continued to make threats to kill and asked officers to taser him and shoot him. He was later transported to Overlake Hospital for a mental evaluation. Parking space stabber: The sus-pect pulled his car into a parking space in the west garage of Bellevue Square Mall, pulling past the victim, who had been waiting to pull into the spot. When the victim yelled at the suspect for taking his space, the suspect grabbed a knife out of his trunk and moved towards the victim, who was seated in his car, making threats to stab him. The suspect was arrested for assault 2.

November 15Shoplifting showdown: The 6’ 8”, 265 lb. intoxicated suspect shop-lifted two pairs of jeans from Macy’s. When Loss Prevention caught him, the suspect immediately began throwing punches, striking one in the nose and biting another. He was finally wrestled to the ground and placed into handcuffs. Officers ar-rived and placed the suspect under arrest for robbery and a $5,000 war-rant out of Auburn for a DUI.Once a bad driver...: The suspect was passed out in the driver’s seat of her running vehicle on the 1700 block of Bellevue Way Northeast. She was arrested for DUI and taken to jail. She had previously been convicted of DUIs in 1993, 1997 and 2014 and a reckless driving convic-tion in 2013.

The BlotterPolice reports from Bellevue

BY TJ MARTINELLREPORTER NEWSPAPERS

The King County Prosecutor’s Office has charged a 20-year-old Kirkland man with vehicular assault and reckless endangerment for allegedly striking a woman and man in downtown Kirkland with his motorcycle.

Gavin D. Ogier is accused of allegedly riding his motorcycle down Lake Street South on June 10 and hitting two Bellevue residents, a 29-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, along with two of her dogs, while they were in the crosswalk next to the Ben and Jerry’s, according to police documents. Prosecutors are requesting bail be set at $25,000.

The Kirkland Police Department investigation into the incident included numerous statements by wit-nesses, one of whom stated seeing Ogier just moments before the collision allegedly riding recklessly down Lake Street and weaving in and out of traffic by passing vehicles in the oncoming lane. One witness reported the suspect revving his engine so loudly she had to cover her ears.

The collision allegedly occurred when a vehicle in front of Ogier stopped at the crosswalk at the intersec-tion of Second Avenue South for the victims and their dogs. Ogier then drove around the vehicle, going at least 40 mph in a 25 mph zone, according to several witnesses, only to drop his motorcycle when he col-lided into the victims and the dogs.

Prosecutors allege that Ogier then appeared to “attempt to ride off on his motorcycle” and was only stopped by witnesses who prevented him from leaving.

“He did not seem concerned with the group he had

Proposed Eastside village could keep seniors at homeBY RYAN MURRAYBELLEVUE REPORTER

Seniors on the Eastside could soon find themselves getting a little more as-sistance to keep them in their homes.

At least, if Joanne Gainen has anything to say about it.

Gainen is leading a drive to start an Eastside Village for seniors, or a com-munity with amorphous borders which allows volunteers to do work to help out older residents.

“We realized after looking around that there were not enough assisted living or retirement communities,” she said. “And for many people, the ones that were there were too expensive, they couldn’t afford to live in these places.”

Bellevue has more than 31,000 residents over the age of 55 according to census findings, the vast majority of whom live in their own residences.

So when Gainen looked Lake Wash-ington to Seattle and saw three thriving “virtual villages” helping senior citizens stay in their homes, she thought Bellevue (and the east side in general) would be a perfect location to add a fourth.

Dori Gillam, program manager for Aging Your Way, a branch of Senior Services, said the village would connect the community and allow both seniors and differently abled people to stay in their homes.

Virtual villages take the old adage “it takes a village” and applies it to volun-teers who come assist people in need with housework, taking them to stores or anything they might have difficulty with.

“It’s a situation where you can count on other people to help you,” Gainen said. “It’s based in a neighborhood and can have pretty large boundaries. It’s not like there is a city hall or a main office, it’s something volunteers coordinate.”

A virtual village in Northeast Seattle and one in Capitol Hill have been keep-ing seniors in homes for several years. A third one in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge is still in early phases. The concept was first

implemented on Beacon Hill about 13 years ago. Boston’s Beacon Hill, that is.

“People put a request for volunteers and the volunteers put in what hours they can help and what they can do,” Gainen said. “It’s a neighborly exchange. It helps foster intergenerational rela-tionships in which people support each other.”

She said examples she had heard of in Seattle include a plumber volunteering several hours to help with pipe issues at a senior’s house. Transportation tends to be the most common request, but access to handymen, technology experts, dog walkers and other people with various skills stretch across the board. A weekly email is sent out seeking volunteers for what the seniors need, and is filled as soon as the available person can reply.

More than 200 of these villages were operating on volunteer power across the nation, ultimately helping keep seniors in their own homes possibly years longer than if the “village” hadn’t been there.

Gainen said the Eastside village was in the planning stage, and a Nov. 17 meet-ing at the North Bellevue Community Center was planned to gauge interest in the project.

“We want to introduce people to the concept and answer people’s questions,” she said. “We are looking for other inter-ested people who want to help me lead this project.”

While many resources exist for senior citizens, this project would add a differ-ent element, Gainen said.

“There are benefits to the community as well,” she said. “There is safety in knowing your neighbors. We all want to live in a safe neighborhood, and knowing your neighbors is one way to do that.”

People could travel next door or from miles away depending on the “borders” of the virtual village on the Eastside. It really just depends on how many volun-teers Gainen can find.

State Route 520 to close this weekendState Route 520 will be

closed for a construction project the majority of the weekend, necessitating alternate routes for motor-ists.

Both east and westbound lanes will be closed as the Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation contractor crews will work on the West Approach Bridge North Project.

Starting at 11 p.m. Fri-day, Nov. 20, WSDOT will shut down the lanes. West-bound lanes will reopen at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22 to allow drivers to get to the home Seahawks game. All lanes will reopen at 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 23.

The project is part of

WSDOT’s State Route 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program, meant to increase access to the high-way and ease congestion.

The new approach bridge, slated to open to traffic in 2017, will take westbound traffic to the Montlake area. The existing columns holding up the current westbound bridge are at risk of catastrophic failure if an earthquake should hit. The columns are hollow and not seismically sound.

The state route’s west ap-proach bridge also has four narrow lanes, no carpool lane and no bicycle or pedestrian path.

The new structure should

be seismically sound as well as provide high occupancy vehicle lanes and a shared use pedestrian/bike path. It will also remove the exist-ing westbound onramp in the Arboretum.

WSDOT awarded a $199.5 million contract to Flatiron West, Inc. to con-struct the West Approach Bridge North Project.

“She was, I would say, trapped in the Catch-22 of wanting to be with people but having to pay the consequences. She didn’t reach out to anyone… Lindsay was very good at hiding her pain,” said Chang.

Hill had reportedly been living with Jackson for a few months, and the two identified themselves as engaged on Face-book. It was reported to police that the two had a violent relationship, and that Jackson had recently been released from prison, according to police records. He reportedly has a criminal history includ-ing assault, reckless endangerment and

attempting to elude police.On the night of the accident, a witness

reported seeing an African-American man driving a black Lexus in Seattle repeatedly strike his passenger, a lighter skinned woman who appeared to be try-ing to exit the vehicle.

At one point, a coat, wallet and purse containing a Washington State driver’s license for Robert T. Jackson, credit cards issued to Lindsay Hill and a title of sale for the Lexus to a ‘Rober Jackson’ were thrown from the vehicle.

Approximately 20 minutes later, Bel-levue police received calls alerting them to a car crash at the intersection of 119th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 60th Street. Callers reported hearing screech-

ing tires and a loud bang before the power went out. Police arriving at the scene found Hill under-neath the black Lexus, which police determined had been traveling westbound on Southeast 60th Street at a high rate of speed before losing control and hitting an electrical utility box.

Speed calculations conducted by a collision investigator determined that Lexus was at a mini-mum speed between 60 and 69 mph. The speed limit for Southeast 60th Street is 25 mph.

Two officers stated that they could smell alcohol on Jackson and that his eyes were

bloodshot and glassy. Hill’s friend, Shelly Weinmeister, told police that Hill and Jackson had been out at a club earlier that evening and were clearly intoxicated.

The results of a blood test have yet to be re-leased.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to benefit Hill’s sons. More infor-mation can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/yaawm9vw.

Anyone suffering from domestic violence is urged to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

The contract includes the work neces-sary to provide approximately 2,000 feet of tunnel from Main Street to Northeast 6th Street in Downtown Bellevue.

The tunnel will begin south of Main Street on 112th Avenue Southeast and will travel northwesterly until it is parallel to 110th Avenue Northeast. It will continue north for 2 1/2 city blocks before emerging above ground as an elevated train next to Bellevue City Hall, where it will have a station. From there it will travel to the east, across I-405 and to a station in Wilburton near Overlake Hospital.

Work will include excavation, site preparation and final tunnel lining, as well as a center wall and access shaft on 110th Avenue Northeast.

Atkinson has worked on other major Washington projects, including on Stampede and Snoqualmie passes and bridges in Renton and Puyallup.

The Downtown Bellevue tunnel proj-ect is the first of seven major construc-tion contracts for the East Link Exten-sion. The East Link Extension project is targeting June 2023 for the first date of revenue service.

The East Link project will extend light rail service 14 miles from down-town Seattle to downtown Bellevue and

Redmond. Stations will serve Rainier Avenue/I-90, Mercer Island, South Bel-levue, Downtown Bellevue, Overlake Hospital, the Bel-Red Corridor, Over-lake Village and the Overlake Transit Center.

Bids on the tunnel contract ranged from Atkinson’s $121 million to $169 million. Sound Transit’s engineers esti-mated costs at $156,929,508.

Total lifetime budget on the project has been estimated at $3.67 billion, $2.54 billion of which is slated for con-struction.

The tunnel is not a bore-driven tun-nel like other Sound Transit projects, instead it will be a Sequential Exca-vation Method tunnel. This method carves out a section of tunnel and using natural rock and soil strength is able to support the tunnel by applying a layer of shotcrete and flexible support.

The tunnel has been one controversial aspect of the East Link project, with pe-titions and legal challenges for multiple areas of the light rail extension. These challenges and revisions moved back the proposed first date of service from 2021 to 2023.

A map of the planned path can be viewed below.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

In a driving rainstorm, the Bellevue Wolverines defense rose to the occasion in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs.

The Wolverines cruised to a 49-15 win against the Ken-nedy Catholic Lancers on Nov. 13 at Bellevue High School, clinching a berth in the Class 3A state quarterfinals. Bel-levue led Kennedy Catholic 42-0 at halftime. The Wol-verines swarming defense surrendered a meager two first downs and forced six Kennedy Catholic punts in the first half of play. Bellevue’s backup players played the majority of the second half.

Wolverines’ cornerback Isaiah Gilchrist, a University of Washington commit who scored on a 46-yard punt return for a touchdown with 10:17 left in the first quarter giving his team a 7-0 lead, said his squad aims to be ferocious on the defensive side of the ball.

“We like to pride ourselves on defense and special teams. That is what especially wins games for us. It is exciting for us because we get to fly around, hit people and have fun,” Gilchrist said.

Bellevue wide receiver/defensive back Tyson Penn, who scored on a 13-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown as well as a 40-yard touchdown catch on a fade route in the first quarter giving the Wolverines a 21-0 lead, said they were determined to start off strong in the first round of the state playoffs.

“We had a rough week at practice so we came out with a little bit to prove. We just came out with a chip on our shoulder and executed everything right. There are a couple of things we need to fix up but other than that we played really well,” Penn said.

Bellevue senior quarterback Justus Rogers connected with Isaiah Ifanse on a 28-yard touchdown pass, giving Bellevue a 28-0 lead with 9:05 left in the first half. Thomas Leisy rumbled for a 23-yard touchdown run and Ercle Terrell evaded a bevy of tacklers on a 77-yard marathon touchdown run to close out the second quarter, extending Bellevue’s lead to 42-0. Ifanse scored the final Wolverine touchdown of the night on a 57-yard touchdown scamper with 7:29 left in the third quarter.

The win was bittersweet for Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff, as he defeated one of his most esteemed men-tors in his final game on the sidelines. Kennedy Catholic head coach Bob Bourgette, who has been the Lancers coach for the past four decades, coached his final game of his storybook career on the gridiron against Bellevue.

“Bob Bourgette has been around for so long. He is a great guy and is a guy I consider to be one of my mentors. Having this be his last game is tough but I’m really happy we are moving on (to the quarterfinals),” Goncharoff said. “It is survive and move on right now. That is it.”

Penn concurred with Goncharoff ’s sentiment. “We know them (Kennedy Catholic) pretty well. They

are a great team and they came out and played their hard-est. It kind of sucks to watch their season come to an end but it is the only way ours could keep going,” Penn said.

The Wolverines will face Glacier Peak in the Class 3A quarterfinals on Nov. 21 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Snohomish. Bellevue defeated Glacier Peak 24-6 on Oct. 2 in Snohomish.

“We’re ready for the next team up,” Penn said. “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. It is more of a one day, one game at a time for us.”

The Newport Knights boys tennis team will be well represented at the Class 4A state tennis tournament this May in Richland.

Newport No. 1 singles player Austin Gu, No. 2 singles player Edwin Carlos, the doubles team of Alex Namba/Payton Namba and the doubles duo of Travis Kayahara/Derek Huang clinched berths at the state tournament with dominating performances at the KingCo/district meets in late October. Newport head coach Ron Coleman believes Gu absolutely possesses the skill-set to win a state title in singles action.

“I’ve watched Austin’s game mature over the past four years. A couple of things that come to mind is Austin’s determination to win, fight and grind for every point,” Coleman said. “His serve has improved so much. All great players have weapons and Austin’s serve is one of his best weapons.”

Coleman said the doubles team of Alex Namba/Payton Namba is the team to beat at the state competition.

“Their chemistry on the court is undeniable. If one brother is struggling, the other brother steps up his game and takes control,” he said. “They practice together all the time. They know each others game inside and out and know exactly what the other brother will do in any given situation.”

Coleman said the doubles team of Kayahara/Huang have a healthy rivalry with the Namba brothers.

“There is a rivalry. It is both friendly and competitive. It is all over the map,” Coleman said. “Both teams are driven, they both want bragging rights and they both want to be No. 1. They may not agree with what I just said but from where I’m standing sometimes its more friendly than com-petitive and other times its more competitive than friendly. In the end, it’s all about bringing home a state team title for Newport High School. The rivalry will be decided at state.”

The Curtis Vikings boys water polo team finally toppled the defending champ with everything on the line in the Washington state title game.

Curtis derailed Bellevue’s bid to win their fifth consecutive state championship, reg-istering a 9-7 overtime victory against the Bellevue Wolverines on Nov. 14 at the Curtis Aquatic Center in University Place.

Curtis junior JJ Spoja scored two goals in the final 1:47 of the second overtime session, clinching the win for the Vikings. Bel-levue’s Zack Rossman scored with 58 seconds left in the second overtime, cutting Curtis’s lead to 8-7 but Spoja answered with the final goal of the night with 46 seconds left to put the game out of reach.

Vikings’ head coach Dennis Piccolotto was jovial following the biggest win his team experienced this decade.

“We have a core group of guys who just busted their tails the last couple of years. Last year we got close and lost by two (Bel-levue defeated Curtis 8-6 in the 2014 title game)” Piccolotto said. “These guys grinded for the past 365 days and did a lot of out of season work. One of our mottos is, ‘Out of season work, in season results’. This year the theme was to finish what we started and we did that.”

The game was a battle the entire way. Curtis appeared to be in the drivers seat after back-to-back goals by Ryan St. John gave Curtis a 4-1 lead with 4:13 remaining in the third quarter. The Wolverines wouldn’t succumb without a fight. Rossman and Mario Abdel Shahed scored back-to-back goals, cutting Curtis’s lead to 4-3 with 1:36 left in the third quarter. Vikings’ senior Garrett Friedman scored with 47 seconds left in third extending the lead to 5-3 after three quarters of play.

With their season on the line, the Wolverines responded with a 3-0 run in the early stages of the fourth period. Bellevue’s Mina Abdel Shahed scored with 5:11 left in the game, cutting Curtis’s lead to 5-4. Cameron Hayes found the back of the net with 4:48 left and once again with 4:20 left in regulation, giving Bellevue a 6-5 lead. Bellevue was a mere 10 seconds left from clinching their fifth state crown in a row until Curtis’s David Ling tied the game at 6-6 with 9.1 seconds left in regulation forcing overtime.

“To be up by two in the fourth period and then be down by one, that was our last possession. We had no more left. David Ling stepped up and got that one in to send it into overtime,” Piccolotto said.

Curtis outscored Bellevue 3-1 in the two three-minute overtime sessions to take the title.

“I have a lot of respect for Bellevue. Their coaches (Ed Brovick, Evan Kaseguma) are both class act guys. We had a feeling that it might be us and Bellevue at the end again. We wouldn’t want it any other way. If we were going to win it, we wanted to win against the best,” Piccolotto said of Bellevue.

Kaseguma was proud of his team for fighting through adversity despite trailing 4-1 in the early stages of the third period.

“We just talked about sticking to our game-plan. We had a lot of shots in the first half that didn’t quite fall. We knew that if we kept working, we would get great shots, great looks and eventually they would start falling,” Kaseguma said. “The boys believed. They just kept going and kept grinding. We were able to get back in the game.”

The Wolverines were humble and gracious in defeat. “It is a great rivalry. They bring out the best in us and I’d like to think we bring out

the best in them,” Kaseguma said. “We are two programs that are constantly pushing each other. This year they got us. It is a credit to their coaches and players. We have a lot of respect for them. We give them all the credit in the world.”

“They bring out the best in us and I’d like to think we bring out the best in them.”- Evan Kaseguma, Bellevue coach

struck, but bemoaned his motorcycle,” the prosecutor’s charging documents assert.

The female victim suffered from numer-ous torn ligaments and head injuries, while the male victim suffered abrasions and bruising on his left leg and right hip. One of the woman’s dogs had soft tissue dam-age, while the other suffered a severe spine injury.

Police interviewed Ogier, who allegedly told them he didn’t have his driver’s license on him. They later discovered that while he had a driver’s license and the motorcycle was registered in his name, he did not have a motorcycle endorsement nor did he have liability insurance.

Following his arrest and transport to the Kirkland Justice Center, the suspect told officers that he did not want to come to a complete stop at the crosswalk because it was a hassle, the documents continue. He then insisted that it was an accident and he did not know why he was being arrested. He also inquired as to what would happen to his motorcycle.

Despite significant physical injuries, he refused medical care and declined to go the hospital because he did not have medical insurance and had no money, which he had invested entirely in his motorcycle.

During questioning by police, the sus-pect told them he had anxiety and takes medication for it. He also said that he had diabetes but didn’t take insulin because he didn’t “want a doctor to tell him that there is something wrong with him” and that he can “control it myself.”

The suspect was eventually taken to EvergreenHealth hospital in Kirkland after repeatedly complaining of physical pain. During the ride there, the aid crew checked his blood-sugar level and found it to be normal. The suspect was later found to have no drug or alcohol impairment.

During a search of his property, police found $1,200 in cash in his wallet, while his motorcycle was impounded and searched.

Although police officials initially said there wasn’t sufficient evidence to book him on hit and run, the forwarded charges include hit and run for his alleged “com-plete disregard for human life by ignoring the victims he struck by attempting to pick up his motorcycle numerous times and at-tempting to flee the scene.”

“His greatest concern was where his motorcycle, backpack and his helmet were,” one officer’s report reads.

According to the prosecutors’ charging documents, Ogier has a history of driv-ing without liability insurance and several times has failed to appear in court for legal matters.

MOTORCYCLISTCONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

During the past four months, the Washington State Patrol (WSP) says they have received numerous phone calls from the public indicating they have been contacted by the agency soliciting donations that they believe are an at-tempt to scam the public for money.

The Washington State Patrol Troop-ers Association (WSPTA) is one of many police unions or associations contacting the public soliciting donations. The tele-marketing company used by the WSPTA does not employ hard sell tactics nor will they ask for credit card numbers or personal financial information over the

phone. The public will never receive a call from a trooper soliciting donations.

The WSP wants to warn the public to be leery of any calls from anyone soliciting money for the agency or ask-ing for credit card numbers or personal financial information over the phone. If a resident suspects it is a scam, hang up and contact one of the local WSP district offices.

For more information on legitimate solicitors in Washington State visit the Secretary of States website at www.sos.wa.gov/office/404.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/charities/.

Beware of donation phone scam, State Patrol warns -tion of higher wages, jobs where their

employers gives them insurance, etc. But, that’s not universal if we look at different zip codes, like 98007, which has low income housing,” said Daphne Pie, access and outreach manager at King County Public Health.

That number derived from U.S. Cen-sus Bureau data, population estimates and other data, and while it is not a precise calculation, county officials say it’s a good indicator of where they should focus.

“No single set of numbers was avail-able to determine how many King County residents in any ZIP code could potentially be eligible for Affordable Care Act enrollment opportunities. Therefore, we developed estimates,” said Public Health spokesperson Keith Seinfeld.

Since open enrollment under the Affordable Care Act began three years ago, the county and state as a whole have made significant dents in the number of uninsured residents.

From 2013 to 2014, the number of uninsured adults in King County under age 65 (at which Americans are eligible for Medicaid) dropped from 223,000 to 139,000.

Overall, the number of uninsured residents dropped by 38 percent since 2013. That drop is four percent more than in the rest of the state, and a larger drop that in all but one other state in the country, King County Execu-tive Dow Constantine said in a press release.

While gains have been made, Pie and her team are launching new outreach initiatives to target the area’s pockets of uninsured adults.

In addition to the outreach con-ducted through the Bellevue School District, libraries and Crossroads Mini-City Hall, the county is also creating

targeted partnerships to reach vulner-able populations.

“We are going to do that targeted outreach… We still have health dispari-ties in King County, period. We still know people of color have greater risk for health problems, and that they are some of the most vulnerable popula-tions in King County,” said Pie.

In addition to those citizens that don’t want government-involved healthcare, there are also likely many residents who have trouble signing up or don’t know the consequences of fail-ing to do so, said Pie.

Adults who fail to enroll in health-care face an annual fine. This year, the penalty is $695 per adult and $347.50 per child under 18, or 2.5 percent of your household income, whichever is greater. The maximum penalty per person is $2,085.

The penalty for 2016 is higher than previous years.

In the coming months, the county will be working with Hispanic/Latino-owned businesses on Eastside and four Eastside taxicab companies to spread the word. Pie says they are working with the owners of the cab companies to send text messages to their drivers reminding them to enroll for insurance, as well as holding an enrollment event and making available public health offi-cials who speak the Ethiopian language Amharic.

“We also know within those commu-nities, it is word of mouth that travels. We need to let people know that no matter what race they are, their health is important,” she said.

The Washington Healthplanfinder’s open enrollment period began on Nov. 1 and continues through Jan. 31, 2016. King County Public Health is holding an enrollment event at Crossroads Mall on Nov. 21. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

tional space and instruc-tors — above and beyond the 160 new teachers hired at that point — would be needed due to the large growth.

“We can’t build fast enough to match this growth,” she said. “I think we’ll have to add some more portables.”

The growth has been a bit surprising because of the fact that Bellevue is fairly landlocked and doesn’t have large tracts of land that have recently been developed, like in Redmond, said DeVita.

Despite the growth, district officials said they are succeeding in keeping class sizes low — in many cases, lower than the state funded levels.

On average, all elemen-tary school levels are be-low the state funded sizes. Approximately six out of the 11 district middle and high schools saw increases in class size, all of which left them below state levels.

“When you see the number of teachers who have been hired, you see

the impact on the reduc-tion of class size… it’s a nice positive sign of the direction the district has taken in the reduction of class size,” said Jeffrey Thomas, the district’s ex-ecutive director of human resources.

While the district has kept class sizes relatively low through hiring, in-creasing diversity remains an issue.

For example, the per-centage of white teachers, principals and admin-istrators is more than double the percentage of white students.

To make staff diversity equitable with the student body, the district would need to hire 27 African-American, 359 Asian and 102 Hispanic staff members.

To combat that, the district has been do-ing a lot more targeted recruiting and trying to access networks that have broader candidate pools, said Thomas.

“We’re working on de-veloping approaches that will really focus hiring and aligning faculty di-versity with our students,” he said.

STAFF REPORTIn the wake of the recent attacks in Paris, King

County Sheriff John Urquhart is asking his deputies to carry their weapons and extra bullets while off duty.

“Of course we should all stay vigilant and ‘if you see something say something,’ but after Paris, that doesn’t seem enough,” said Sheriff John Urquhart. “While off duty I am asking all commissioned personnel to always carry their sidearm, with extra magazines.”

While Urquhart said in his email that the FBI has not received any specific, credible information of any imminent attacks to this country, he believes home-grown terrorists pose a threat to the Seattle area. “I believe the bigger threat to the greater Seattle area is a home-grown terrorist who decides to act unilaterally in support of [ISIS],” Urquhart said.

Some sheriffs deputies regularly carry their side-arms while off duty, Urquhart said, but he is asking all deputies to always carry their weapons.

Eight attackers struck a handful of cites in Paris on Nov. 13, killing at least 130 persons and injuring over 350 persons. A variety of methods were used, includ-ing bombings, hand grenades and small arms at five shooting locations and three bombing locations in and just outside Paris.

“With all that is going in the world, it is more im-portant than ever to have the means to protect your family, the public, and yourself,” Urquhart said.

County Sheriff’s deputies to carry weapons full-time

ENROLLMENTCONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

STAFF REPORTKing County has become a founding member of

the 100% Talent Initiative, a new five-year program launched by the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and the Women’s Funding Alliance to ad-dress gender pay disparities the county.

“Closing the gender pay gap is essential to our val-ues of equity and fairness, and has profound benefits for the workplace and our regional economy,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “My thanks to the Council for unanimously backing my measure to make King County a founding member of 100%

Talent, and committing the resources to support it.”Faced with the daunting statistic that full-time

working women in the Seattle metropolitan area earn just 73 cents for every dollar earned by men, the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and the Women’s Funding Alliance joined forces to launch a voluntary, employer-led gender equity initiative. 100% Talent includes an investigation into the root causes of the gender wage gap as well as promising solutions, including 33 specific “best practices” for achieving gender equity in King County. The initiative also sets a goal to have 500 companies in the region pledge to join the effort in the first 5 years.

By becoming a founding member of 100% Talent, King County committed to the initiative with a three-year financial sponsorship, pledged additional re-sources such as employee trainings and data analysis, and renewed the County’s efforts do its part to help close the gender wage gap.
