known as � e Snowstorm will drum out the holiday hits on recycled percussion. � e new stages are in front Bellevue Place on the corner of NE Eighth Street and Bellevue Way and along and in the Fountain Court of Bellevue Square along Bel-levue Way.

Bellevue Magic Season kicks o� today. 23 for seven weeks of outdoor ice skating, lighted displays and snowy performances in and around downtown Bellevue.

Once again skating will be available at the region’s largest covered, open-air ice rink. Also, people will be able to experi-ence the drummers’ beat at Snow� ake Lane at � e Bellevue Collection. And 500,000 lights will form displays at the Bellevue Botanical Garden’s Garden d’Lights.

Other activities include a holiday per-formance at � e � eatre at Meydenbauer Center, sipping hot cocoa by the � replace at � e Shops at � e Bravern and taking in the winter scenes on display at KidsQuest Children’s Museum’s Gingerbread Lane.

Bellevue Magic Season is a partnership between the Bellevue Downtown Associa-tion, the City of Bellevue, � e Bellevue Collection, � e � eatre at Meydenbauer Center and Bellevue Botanical Garden.

Magic Season: Snow, skating, cocoa – and lots of lights

� e Bellevue City Council signaled its intention to stick with a no-new-taxes plan as it moves toward � nalizing the 2013-2019 capital budget. But in the new year, coun-cilmembers want to take an in-depth look at prioritizing much-needed capital investments and how to pay for them.

Councilmembers had requested more information on a “4-1-4” property tax proposal to help fund a backlog of projects, mostly road improvements. Four percent increas-es in 2013 and 2015 would have funded projects, and a 1 percent increase in 2014 would have covered maintenance and operating costs.

However on Nov. 13, the council opted to defer discus-sion about revenue options and capital projects until next year and instead move forward with the city manager’s recommended seven-year capital budget.

“Given the economic prospects, including the � scal cli� and continuing federal de� cit, I believe this is the right course of action,” said Mayor Conrad Lee. “At the same time I’m open to beginning the process of looking at what good and wise investments we should be making.”

Lee suggested a community visioning process early next year to get the public involved in project prioritization, timing and revenue options to address the unmet capital needs.

� e dialogue on Nov. 13 was part of a broader process as the council works to � nalize the 2013-2014 operating budget, in addition to the capital budget. � e operating budget, described as a “status quo” spending plan, includes no general tax increases, assumes slow economic growth, maintains reserves, adds some new economic development programs, and adjusts utility and permit rates to cover higher costs.

� e council will further discuss the budget during the Nov. 26 council meeting. � e council is slated to adopt the budget at its Dec. 3 meeting.

City Council to talk about project priorities

� e Bellevue utilities department is looking at raising water, sewer and storm rates in 2013 and 2014. Much of the increase next year is a required pass-through of the cost of water sold to the city by Cascade Water Alliance and wastewater treatment by King County.

� e rate increases would also fund infrastructure main-tenance and key capital projects.

If the council approves the rate increases, the typical single-family residential customer would see their total monthly bill increase by 10.1 percent in 2013, from $123.52 to $135.97. In 2014, their monthly bill would rise another 5.9 percent, $8.06, to $144.03.

Rep. Cyrus Habib of the 48th District, lost his eyesight to cancer at age eight. He’s never let it keep him from success. � is November, Habib becomes the � rst Iranian American elected to the Legislature.

When Habib was in the third grade, he can remember the teachers scolding him for trying to climb the jungle gym at school. One night he told his mom about the inci-dent. Habib’s mom was a lawyer and understood the risks, but was upset her son couldn’t participate in certain play-ground activities. � e next day, she promised to sign any waivers or liability forms allowing her son to play alongside the other kids.

“I can deal with a broken arm,” she told his teachers. “I can’t deal with a broken spirit.”

� e � rst-time politician, a Democrat, defeated Redmond City Council member Hank Myers, a Republican, and will represent parts of Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Medina, Clyde Hill and the Points communities.

Habib is a lawyer, but has always been involved with service work. He volunteers as a trustee of the Bellevue College Foundation and is a human services commissioner for the city of Bellevue.

� ough he studied literature at Oxford and law at Yale, Habib had his hand in politics from a young age. He worked as an intern for U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and later interned under U.S. Sen. Hilary Clinton.

“What an accessible political climate we have here,” said Habib of entering politics in Washington state. “� ere’s a real receptiveness to new ideas and new people. I felt like I could come here, and early on, be e� ective.”

Habib battled cancer three times in his life. He � nds it

important to share his disability and life story with con-stituents, but doesn’t want it to overshadow his quali� ca-tions, or reasons for representing the 48th District.

“� at’s not how I’m running and that’s not how I want to be thought of,” he said. “But I do think it’s important to tell my life story…As voters and constituents it’s helpful to understand my biography because it shows what’s impor-tant to me.”

A graduate of the Bellevue public schools, he � nds education funding to be one of the most critical issues fac-ing the state this budgetary cycle. Doorbelling during his campaign reinforced that need.

“When I talked about the a� ordability of college and

education, it really resonated with people. I think a lot of people sense and feel that public universities are not deliv-ering the promise of an a� ordable education for middle-class Americans. [Talking to my constituents] really solidi-� ed my desire to � ght for education funding.”

Habib now uses adaptive so� ware that reads what is on his computer screen. It allows him to respond to emails from constituents. But his own experience at the Bellevue International School, he believes, paved the way for much of his success. When the school couldn’t accommodate him in math and science classes because of his disability, Bellevue College opened its doors to him, and gave him his � rst taste of higher education.

“What all those institutions are, is a re� ection of our val-ues,” says Habib. “� ey were built and funded by taxpayers and their elected o� cials who believed that hard work, plus opportunity, can equal success. � ese were the opportuni-ties created for me.”

Campaigning for the 48th District has le� him exhila-rated, he says. Even today, he � nds landmarks from his early years — the Barnes and Noble where he studied for his SAT, and a Kirkland shopping center where he hadn’t been since he was a teenager.

“� is was always home for me,” says Habib of returning to serve the 48th District. “Bellevue was really the ecosys-tem in which I overcame some very di� cult obstacles, to go on and achieve great things today. I always saw myself coming back to this place.”

BY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER

Rep. Ross Hunter had an easy race for reelection to the 48th District. � at may be the last easy thing he sees when the Legislature returns in January.

� e head of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, Hunter will face two big problems: balanc-ing a state budget with revenue expected to be less than needed to maintain current programs and � nding at least $1 billion in the next biennium, to meet a judge’s ruling to adequately pay for education. � e McCleary decision determined that the state was not meeting its constitutional obligation to pay for basic education.

“I might be able to do the base budget without rais-ing revenues,” Hunter said. “…But there’s no way you

can � nd the money for the McCleary decision [for school education] in that budget. It’s just not doable. At least, I don’t see a solution.”

� e state also faces Medicaid expan-sion under the A� ordable Care Act with 400,000 more people expected to qualify for coverage.

Complicating everything is voter approval this month of I-1185, an

initiative pushed through by Tim Eyman, that requires a two-thirds vote in the Legislature to raise taxes. Legisla-tive observers don’t think that’s possible.

Hunter also noted that exterior factors add to the uncertainty – Europe’s debt crisis and the U.S. � scal cli� could pose a risk to state budgets as well. Almost half of Washington’s current operating budget is dependent on federal revenues that go toward a wide-range of pro-grams.

Under the A� ordable Care Act, the federal govern-ment initially would pay the full cost of expansion. But that share would drop to 90 percent by 2020. Hunter

says he expects Medicaid expansion to save the state some money, but doesn’t know how much it would be.

Gubernatorial candidates Jay Inslee and Rob McKenna presented di� erent responses to McCleary during election season. Hunter also put forward his own plan, a local levy swap adopted by McKenna on the campaign trail.

“I haven’t seen a proposal from either candidate yet that really adds up to signi� cant savings and we’re going to continue to try and do that,” Hunter said.

Under the most recent forecast, spending is expected to increase from $31.1 billion in the current biennium to $33.8 billion in 2013-2015. Nevertheless, that leaves the state about $900 million short for the next cycle, a number that doesn’t include the additional spending required under the McCleary ruling.

“� ese are critical decisions the governor and Legisla-ture have to make this year,” Hunter said. “What are we going to do, and how will we do it?”

Shelton honored as teacher of yearPatty Shelton, social studies curriculum developer for

the Bellevue School District, was honored as 2012 Educa-tor of the Year by the Museum of History and Industry.

Shelton, who’s worked with MOHAI for more than � ve years, has helped MOHAI plan exhibits for the new mu-seum, developed education initiatives, and hosted state-wide teacher trainings.

� e award honors an individual in Washington state who demonstrates dedication, innovation and excellence in the areas of history, geography and civics education.


It’s Black Friday today, the day shoppers help put merchants in the � nancial “black” for the year. To help do this, national chains have dangled deals

before the buying public to entice them into their stores.

� ree days later comes Cyber Monday, when we’re all suppose to go online and buy, buy, buy.

But there’s another day that’s even more important: Small Business Saturday. It happens tomorrow, Nov. 24, across the nation.

� e event reminds people to shop locally at shops and stores based and operated here in our own com-munities. � e owners of these shops do more than just sell products or o� er services. � ey are our neighbors who support our schools and other institutions, partic-ipate in local activities and government and, all-in-all, make this a better community in which to live.

Some numbers show how important they are.• When you spend $100 at an independent business,

$68 returns to the local community. Spend that same amount at a national chain and it drops to $43.

• Small business accounts for 75 percent of all new jobs.

• Locally owned businesses reinvest in the local economy at a 60 percent higher rate than chains and internet retailers.

• Small businesses create more than half the non-farm private gross domestic product (GDP).

• Locally owned and operated businesses create higher-paying jobs for you and your neighbors.

• More of your tax dollars are reinvested in your community to fund local schools, hire more police o� cers and improve roads.

Last year, more than one hundred million people nationwide came together to shop on Small Business Saturday. Let’s join them tomorrow – and other days throughout the year – to keep our local businesses and our community strong.

Conservation district makes a di� erence

� rough the years I have come to know the King County Conserva-tion District (KCD) through edu-cational classes about my land and the region. Because of my positive experience I enrolled in a farming/horse care class taught by KCD. � at led to the next class and the next as a desire to learn more.

I’ve attended several worships over the past two years. Farm tours sponsored by KCD and Horses for Clean Water where also of value. Be-ing able to meet the owners and see di� erent was to do things on a farm is invaluable.

Much of what I have learned has been incorporated at my farm. I’m

now have a farm plan designed in coordination with KCD. � e visits to my farm were extremely helpful, so much that I ended up signing up as a participant in the farm program.

I do take the farm business seri-ously and believe part of our success has came from what I’ve learned from KCD, it’s materials/handouts and the educational classes. It’s also brought my farm and family to feel an added respect for the environ-ment. We’ve learned how with plan-ning and usually just our own labor we can make a di� erence in the environment.Bill Ziehl, Bellevue

Election renews faith� e outcome of this election has

renewed my faith in America. � e demographics of the country are changing rapidly and because of this

both the public and private sectors are going to have to recognize that policies must take into account the needs and aspirations of all groups.

I am very concerned that the Republicans are taking the wrong lessons from the fact that they were able to hold on the House, ignoring once again the concerns the public is expressing about the need to make decisions based on what is good for the country. For them to have signed a pledge not to raise taxes on the very wealthy is proof posi-tive that they are not working in the best interest of the people but for the interest of those who have � nanced their campaigns.

Finally I hope the media has learned a lesson from this election. � ey have the greatest responsibil-ity of all to see to it that the public in fact has access to facts and not propaganda. George Whitaker, Bellevue

Christmas comingearlierevery year A symptom of one of this nation’s

most pressing issues reared its ugly head in my hometown last

week, days before schedule and without warning or reason.

Holiday decorations, which amount to a few wreaths around light posts and a few strings of lights on the 100-foot high Cedar tree in the center of town unceremoniously sprung up, signaling the beginning to the December holiday season.

In years past, neighbors gathered around to watch the lights come alive to signify the turn from � anksgiving.

� is year I assume many, like myself, got our � rst glimpse on the � ursday morning commute through town.

Decorations are just one example of the December holidays encroaching into November, which seems to see its marquee holiday celebrated more for the sales to come the following day than the gesture it is named for: giving thanks.

Black Friday has turned into “Black � ursday” and even “Black � anks-giving Week” as sales have moved the once-sacred retail holiday into a week-long price-cutting bonanza. Christmas

music, which traditionally began play-ing only a� er � anksgiving dessert had been consumed, has become appropri-ate as soon as Halloween candy starts to get stale.

It isn’t the break from tradition that is the most bothersome, it’s the mindset behind it.

� anksgiving is not just a day full of food comas and a bad Detroit Lions football game.

It is a day of re� ection. Whether or not your family goes

around the table to o� er up something each is thankful for, the thoughts of those who sacri� ce for our own well-being are never far o� on Turkey Day.

On Black Friday, in a whirlwind of discounts and doorbusters, that all changes, and with good reason.

While we shop for gift s to give others, the reality of the American con-sumer Christmas experience for many

is give-to-receive. Most of us only give gi� s to those

we know will return the gesture and homemade gi� s or baked goods seem increasingly rare. It was just a genera-tion ago that citrus fruit was a sought-a� er stocking stu� er, but that no doubt seems further in the past as we receive yet another pen that doubles as a � ash-light and moonlights as a tire pressure gauge.

Without a doubt, the litany of fundraisers for coats, toys, food and gi� s make the December portion of the holiday season one of the most expan-sive for charity giving and that part of the holiday season is welcome to extend year-round as far as I’m concerned.

But Consumer Christmas can wait, at least until 12:00 a.m. on Black Friday.

WHY SHARKS NEVER GO TO THE DENTISTDo you know why you have never seen a shark in the dentist’s chair? To begin with, sharks have about � ve rows of teeth at any one time. If they were to lose a tooth (by biting into a piece of really hard candy for instance), the next tooth in line would move into the lost tooth’s place. This helps explain why sharks never need bridges, crowns, or implants, but what about cavities? Well, it seems that sharks never get cavities. According to research that was recently conducted by English scientists, the outer surface of sharks’ teeth is composed of � uoride, which is the same decay-� ghting ingredient found in most toothpaste. That, and they don’t have access to candy!Although human teeth are covered in a different mineral, both human teeth and shark teeth are equally hard.At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we help you decide what type of treatment would be right for you.

If you are a little apprehensive about going to the dentist, you’re not alone. Fifty percent of Americans say they experience anxiety over visiting the dentist. Many admit they visit less frequently than they should as a result, and some avoid going to the dentist altogether. These skipped visits can have terrible consequences, and often lead to even higher levels of anxiety.

Regular check-ups and teeth cleanings are the best way to avoid dental anxiety, because they help avoid the need for invasive and expensive dental procedures. Your new Bright Now! Dental of� ce in Bellevue knows that the dentist may not be your favorite place to visit, but we want to help make your dental appointment as pleasant as possible. By following these three simple tips, you can help alleviate your stress and brighten your smile.

Talk to your dentistMake sure your dentist knows you are nervous! The staff at Bright Now! Dental in Bellevue,

Issaquah, Woodinville, Tukwila, Seattle and Kent are happy to work with you to help ease your anxiety, so be sure to talk to them about it up front. If you are apprehensive about a procedure, ask them to explain it to you so you will know what to expect.

Ask questionsFear of the unknown can leave you to assume the worst case scenario, so don’t be afraid to ask questions about your visit. Your Bright Now! dentist or oral hygienist can walk you through the planned procedures and talk to you as the visit progresses. When you know ahead of time what to expect and how long will it take, you’ll feel much more at ease.

Just do itEven if you don’t feel ready, convince yourself to visit a dentist. If it has been a long time since your last visit, you may be surprised at how much dental procedures and technology have improved.

Though you may be apprehensive, the reasons to see your dentist far outweigh the short term bene� ts of avoidance. By maintaining regular dental visits, you will improve your oral health, decrease your anxiety and brighten your smile for years to come.

Going to the Dentist Doesn’t Have to Be a Source of Stress

Begin the holidays with smooth and soulful

Do you ever feel smothered by solicitousness when you interact with people in the service indus-

try? A few weeks ago when I walked into a hair salon a stylist, receptionist and the owner nearly crushed me in their efforts

to make sure I had a robe. Later that day a restaurant hostess ran to hold the door open for me.

It’s clear that grocery checkers receive cus-tomer service training, but with a different focus. Halfway through scanning your items they ask if you found everything you were

looking for. I always say yes, because by the time they ask the question I’m already paying the bill.

Grocery store employees have been taught to thank you using your last name (a practice I prefer to the bank tellers who want to be a on first-name basis). It’s fine with me to remain anonymous, es-pecially on hearing the panic in checkers’ voices when they look at my last name. Their relief when they finish stumbling over the pronunciation is palpable.

Bank tellers and their managers must have gone to the same school of customer service. Bankers leap to their feet and throw a perky greeting to you, even if you walk in with your hair in curlers hoping not to be noticed. The main shortcoming of teller training is that it leaves out the suggestion that tellers look at who’s in front of them before speaking. The query most likely to leave me speechless is, “Do you have big plans for the weekend?”

Is he really looking at me? I suspect that most folks my age do not look like people who routinely plan something that a 25-year-old would consider excit-ing for a weekday, much less a weekend. Lately my husband and I have come up with a standard answer to this question: “Every day is the weekend,” we say, avoid-ing the topic of excitement entirely.

Years ago, when I bought a Saturn, all the sales and service center employees had to come outside and sing to me and give me a rose. That was as embarrass-ing as having a crowd of strangers sing “Happy Birthday” at a restaurant, but it wasn’t enough to salvage Saturn.

Still, I’m getting used to uber-friendly, only bristling at it occasionally. It’s better than being ignored.

Eastside business leaders have the highest level of optimism about the econ-omy since 2006, with 60 percent of re-spondents more optimistic over last year and 83 percent of respondents saying the Puget Sound economy will expand - up almost 12 percent over last year.

The findings come from a recent survey of Eastside business leaders conducted by the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and released Nov. 15 at the Eastside Economic Forecast Breakfast. Complete survey results may be found in the Bel-levue Chamber’s 2013 Economic Forecast Strategy Guide, available online at www.bellevuechamber.org/eef.html.

The Bellevue Chamber has been track-ing the economic outlook of business leaders for the last 20 years.

“As we chart the trends year over year we are amazed at how accurate an account the data reflects on what is hap-pening in our marketplace,” said Betty Nokes, Bellevue Chamber president and CEO. “We are encouraged to see that lo-cal business leaders are generally opti-mistic about their own companies, with nearly 70 percent feeling that revenues will come in stronger than last year and 22 percent feel their revenue will at least hold steady.”

The workforce prediction is positive with 41 percent of survey respondents expecting to add employees to their company in 2013. The bulk of the jobs increase is for companies between 11 and 250 employees. Top areas of work-

force expansion are marketing and sales, administration, and industry/technical specialists.

Of the national factors impacting the Business Leader outlook, those of highest impact, according to those surveyed, are the U.S. budget deficit (fiscal cliff), access to capital and credit, and implementa-tion of the Federal Healthcare Reform Act. Top ranked state and local business challenges they encounter include the regional economic climate, business taxa-tion and regulation, employee benefits/health care costs, and generating revenue.

Keynote speaker Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist for Bank of America, was optimistic on the US economy fore-casting 3.5 percent growth in 2013. He stated the top three economic issues for the U.S. are a skilled labor shortage, im-migration and “the battle for the brain,” and the need to cement free trade agree-ments with China and Europe.

Zillow, Inc. Chief Economist, Dr. Stan Humphries, noted that pricing in the Seattle metro housing market offers extreme affordability. The expectation is for solid growth in 2013, with pric-ing increases of 4.5 percent forecast for Bellevue, Mercer Island, and Redmond. Gary Guenther, senior vice president with Kidder Mathews echoed the positive trend, this time in commercial real estate for the Bellevue CBD with optimism led by tech anchor tenants looking to drive new development.

Eastside business leaders optimistic about economy


Even with the rate increases, Bellevue’s water, sewer, and storm rates would be competitive, in the mid to lower range when compared with neighboring cities, Utilities Director Nav Otal noted. By con-taining costs, the department was able to limit the proposed rate increases, she said.

The Development Services Depart-ment is proposing increases of 6.3 to 6.9 percent in the hourly rates charged for land use, transportation, utilities and fire review and inspection services to bring rates into line with the cost of the services and to meet established cost re-

covery policies. A 2.7 percent adjustment in building review and inspection fees is also proposed.

A gap emerged between fees and the cost of services provided in 2010 and 2011, when hourly rates were held constant to keep construction costs down for build-ers and developers struggling through the economic downturn. The council closed part of the gap last year, with a 5 percent increase in hourly rates.

From 2010 to 2012, the Development Services budget was cut by $4.2 million, with more than 30 staff positions elimi-nated.

The proposed hourly rate and building permit fee adjustments are expected to generate an additional $712,000.

Bellevue is marking the successful completion of its nine American Re-covery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funded grant projects with the release of a video – “Bellevue: Driving the EVolution” (on Bellevue’s YouTube Chan-nel). The video highlights a keystone project – the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in collaboration with regional and state partners.

The stimulus grant was awarded in 2009 on the heels of the Great Recession in order to spur innovation and create jobs, at a time when most people had not even heard of cars without tailpipes.

Fast forward to 2012. With charging stations in Bellevue and all along the West Coast, electric vehicle drivers can now travel the I-5 corridor from Canada to Mexico without needing a drop of gasoline. The result is that businesses and individuals investing in electric cars are saving thousands of dollars in fuel costs per year, and getting around easily without contribut-ing to the environmental and national security issues caused by our reli-ance on fossil fuels.

A $1.2 million Energy Ef-ficiency and Conservation block grant through ARRA also helped the city imple-ment energy efficiency and resource conservation projects that will save natu-

ral resources and money on an ongoing basis. These included:

City Hall lighting upgrades, which save an estimated $10,000 per year;

Parks facility and ball field lighting upgrades, which save an estimated $30,000 per year;

Fleet hybrid and electric vehicle upgrades, which save an estimated $100,000 per year; and

Home energy reports, which saved an estimated $4.2 million during the pro-gram period in the seven participating cities (Bel-levue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond, Renton and Sammamish).

All of the city’s ARRA projects and investments directly boosted employ-ment.

I have one e-reader and two kids, which can be a problem. We all want to read, but our books are sometimes trapped

on one device. And, while we have an amazing amount

of hard copy books, there is something about the e-reader that makes the kids come running when they see it. My daughter loves the read aloud feature on some e-books and my son likes the combination of stories and gadgets. I suspect he’s also playing Angry Birds between chapters, but I share it anyway. Some-times, when the bickering gets to be too much, I can

send them to the databases.King County Library System has a great

collection of anytime reading databases for kids. To � nd them, visit www.kcls.org/

databases and click on the subject head-ing marked “kids” then log on with your KCLS card number and PIN. BookFlix and Tumblebooks are household favorites because they feature children’s books and an accompanying video. � ese are also a sure hit for a quick activity when I’m trying to get dinner on the table.

When they are logged in to the database, I don’t have to worry about advertising or stumbling upon inappropriate content. Tumblebooks lets you search separately for videos, books, and even puzzles and games. � e books have a read aloud feature for emerging or struggling readers which can be turned on or o� . Content can be searched by title or subject, or by reading level.

Each book also contains a lesson plan, a quiz and the option to create a book report or certi� cate of completion. � e videos are short, o� en under � ve minutes, and cover non� ction topics such as geography, ani-

mals and science. � e database also has a feature that allows you to create a playlist so videos or books can run one a� er the other.

Book� ix has a di� erent approach. Fiction storybook videos are paired with a non� ction book and are arranged by subjects such as alphabet, people and places or adventures.

One example is a Curious George sto-rybook video and a non� ction book about monkeys. You may recognize the Weston Woods videos from Reading Rainbow, which are always fun to revisit. In the search box, you can search by grade level, language, and even running time of the video storybook.

As winter approaches and those long nights set in, it’s great to curl up with a good book. We sit in front of the � replace with our e-readers and laptops immersed in stories. I’m sure it’s not quite the picture that Norman Rockwell would have painted, but we are still enjoying good books. � at’s when everybody wins.

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.

It’s that time of the year again – snow. As the � rst � akes begin to fall, it’s time to prepare for rain, wind, snow and ice, according to the Washington State Department of Transporta-tion. Taking the time to prepare now will save time and reduce stress during the � rst winter storm, DOT o� cials say.

Here’s what drivers can do to prepare for wintry roadway conditions:■ Download, print and

carry the WSDOT Winter Driving Guide at http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/winter■ Download the WS-

DOT mobile app to your smartphone at http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/tra� c/seattle/products/■ Get your car ready and

plan extra time to cross all mountain passes, including

heavily-traveled routes such as Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass and White Pass.■ Carry chains and know

the traction and chain re-quirements. Mountain-pass traction and chain require-ments are available on the WSDOT website, highway advisory signs and highway advisory radio.■ Preset 530 AM and

Some vehicle manufac-turers recommend against the use of tire chains. � e Washington State Patrol provides a list of approved, alternative traction devices when crossing a mountain pass requires the use of chains (see below)

Studded tires are legal for use only between Nov. 1 and March 31 in Wash-

ington state. Motorists are encouraged to visit a tire dealer to learn more about tires that provide traction and are legal for year-round use.

� e WSP also reminds all drivers and freight haulers that state law requires commercial vehicles and combinations of vehicles more than 10,000 pounds gross-vehicle-weight rating to carry su� cient tire chains between Nov. 1 and April 1, including some larger passenger trucks, SUVs, recreational vehicles and trucks hauling trailers.

Failing to carry chains will cost heavy-truck driv-ers $124. When highway advisories call for chains, drivers who don’t chain up will face a $500 penalty.

Years a� er the � rst Twilight Saga � lm � ooded the-aters with exuberant fans of the bestselling series, the last installment, “Breaking Dawn Part 2,” has

� nally come out. While the opening night crowd at one theater wasn’t as

� lled with fans as the � rst � lm, they were very energetic and eagerly cheered for their favorite characters and were engaged with the � lm.

� e � nal � lm begins with Bella emerging a� er her transformation into a vampire and discovering her new self. She and Edward Cullen are still married and now have a unique, half-human half-vampire daughter. Con� ict soon surfaces as a visiting vampire mistakes their daughter for a forbidden vampire child and alerts the hostile vampire authorities, the Volturi.

One of the most enjoyable parts of this � lm is the introduction of many new characters. � e Cullens

recruit other vampires from around the world. � ese new characters create more fascinating dynamics and the incoming vampires o� en have unique and intriguing special powers.

� e � lm had a great and surprising twist in the story, which truly caught people o� guard and put most of the audience into audible shock. � e � lm was also action packed due to the plot’s con� icts and Bella trying out her

new vampire skills.Many aspects of “Breaking

Dawn Part 2” were improvements over Part 1. It was not as grue-some and revolting as part one. However, there were quite a few slow parts, which could have been � lled with scenes from the book.

Bella and Edward’s daughter, Renesmee, o� en looked clearly digital and not very real, especially when she was a baby. � ere weren’t many scenes of her, and the � lm never really revealed her personality.

� e � lm ended with a montage, tied into the plot, of Bella and Edward’s love story which concluded the saga very nicely. Although the � lm had its slow moments, it also had a signi� cant amount of riveting and amusing ones as well.

Devoted fans of the Twilight Saga will not be disap-pointed with its ending in “Breaking Dawn Part 2.”

2012 SCHEDULE

� e Seahawks, winners of two consecutive and four of their last six games, will be back in action on Sunday in Miami against the Dolphins a� er a bye week that several players said could not have come at a better time.

Seattle defeated the New York Jets 28-7 two weeks ago and could have a pair of key contributors back for the Miami game a� er linebacker KJ Wright and o� ensive lineman James Carpenter missed the last

game nursing concussions. Miami brings one of the

league’s least productive o� enses into the game, with a rushing attack that ranks 21st and a passing game led by rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill that is only 24th best in the NFL at 209 yards per game.

� at statistic should bode well for a Seattle pass de-fense ranked second in the league allowing only 196.2 yards per contest and could be the precursor of a big day for Seattle rookie Bruce Irvin, who is tied for the

team lead with Chris Clem-ons with seven quarterback sacks on the year.

A 19-14 loss to the Bu� alo Bills and a pair of defeats to Tennessee and Indianapolis have the Dol-phins entering the game on a three-game losing streak.

Miami brings the league’s ninth ranked rush defense into the game and will likely focus much of its attention on Marshawn Lynch, who has 1,005 yards and � ve touchdowns on 212 carries in 2012, good for nearly � ve yards per tote. � e Cal alum has gone over 100 yards in each of his last four games.

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

Regardless of the sport, there is no shortage of programs, teams and leagues for youth in the Bellevue area to join. Whether taking to the pint-sized diamond for a Little League game or � ring the � rst of thousands of jump shots in AAU basketball, team sports o� er a consistent outlet for boys and girls of all ages.

But when it came to running, Linda Reichenbach saw a void.

“� ose can be intimidating to some kids,” she said of team sports, which become more selective at a younger age each year. “Running is kind of the everyman’s sport.”

A� er three of her own children � nished high school at International School (they competed in sports for New-port), Reichenbach found there was another void as well, one that was previously � lled by various volunteering endeavors around the district.

So she decided to take action that would � ll both and create a new structure for middle schoolers in Bellevue to � nd an accessible athletic outlet.

“For track and cross country, there are some select and club programs,” Reichenbach said. “But not something that is available to everybody.”

Without interscholastic athletics in Bellevue middle schools, students have limited options for competing in individual sports until reaching high school.

� ose with the talent, � nancial means and countless hours to spare can � nd a foothold in one of the select programs Reichenbach talked about, or at a private club in the case of tennis or swimming. But for economically disadvantaged youngsters, or those who play for enjoyment rather than a college scholarship, the opportunities were not as apparent.

Until Reichenbach began making a change that could soon sweep across the entire BSD.

A� er originally hoping to coach with the high school program, she decided that dedicating her time to the devel-opment of a middle school running team would best utilize her e� orts. But without any foundation for a program, Reichenbach started from square one. She met with Jean Verbka, a counselor at Tyee Middle School and decided the new team could be added to the intramural sports pro-gramming at the school.

But the news wasn’t all good and certainly wasn’t what Reichenbach expected.

“We’re only talking about Monday, Tuesday and � urs-day,” she said. “And only a� er tutorial, but before the activ-ity bus leaves, that’s 48 minutes.”

While the limited practice time was at � rst a source of consternation, Reichenbach soon realized it was an ideal setup for a group designed for kids getting their � rst taste of competitive running and sports in general.

“I know how burned out kids can get,” she said. “� ey wanted to be at practice and were excited to be there. I real-ized it was the perfect amount of time.”

Newport girls cross country coach Caryn He� ernan said Reichenbach’s dedication has been an invaluable asset to cultivating an interest in competitive running, which she said is one of many conduits kids can use to ease the transi-tion to high school.

“It’s really great for middle schoolers to get involved because it gets them in new social networks,” she said. “We have a camp for incoming freshman during the sumer and we have them meet kids. We have kids that met at that camp and were best friends through high school.”

� e � rst iteration of the middle school team at Tyee met for six weeks, but were le� without any competition with fellow district middle schools devoid of a team and those in neighboring towns part of the WIAA’s Triangle League, meaning they were prohibited from competing against non-WIAA members like Tyee. � at hangup stopped a potential meet with Islander Middle School and led to Reichenbach’s discovery that Tillicum had begun a running club in a similar vein to what she was doing. � at led to the competition the kids and coaches had been hoping for since the idea was formulated.

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in sports and recreation

Bellevue marches back to Tacoma Only two wins stand between Bellevue’s football pro-

gram and yet another measure of history, as the Wolverines moved past Peninsula 40-3 on Friday in the 3A state quar-ter� nals to head back to the Tacoma Dome for next week’s semi-� nal round.

Scott Whiting, Bishard Baker and Myles Jack scored � rst half touchdowns for the Wolverines, which sport a pair of number two national rankings and ran away with the win.

Place kicker Ryan Bordner hit a 48-yard � eld goal, which set a new school record.

� e winner of a Saturday quarter� nal between Kennedy and KingCo foe Mount Si will be Bellevue’s semi-� nal opponent. Eastside Catholic faces Marysville-Pilchuck and North � urston meets University in tomorrow’s other 3A quarter� nal games.

Interlake’s Strother headed to WSU Austin Strother, a pitcher with the Interlake baseball

team and senior for the Saints, has committed to play base-ball with the Washington State University Cougars.

Strother was named to the prestigious Area Code Games during the summer and will be a key piece of the Saints’ playo� hopes in 2013.

Bellevue gymnast signs with UW Jessica Nesis, an Issaquah High School student who

trains at Bellevue’s Gymnastics East, has signed to continue her career and education with the University of Washing-

ton Huskies and coach Joanne Bowers. “Jessica is a local gymnast, who at-

tended our camp, and has continued to impress us with her work ethic and progress,” Bowers said in a press release. “She could help us on bars right away and is showing big progress on vault and beam. We value her work ethic and positive attitude and are really looking forward to working with her every day. � e fact that she has always dreamed of

being a Husky and bleeds purple is just a bonus!”Nesis was a level 10 state UB champion in 2012 and was

named Gymnast of the Year in 2010.

Ideally, she would like to see athletics reincorpo-rated at the middle school level throughout the Bel-levue School District as it

was in previous genera-tions.

While that possibil-ity seems unlikely with financial shortfalls and a decidedly different academic model, Reichen-bach said nothing will be able to dissuade her from expanding the options for

the intramural program in the BSD and making sure every student feels like sports are accessible.

“My short term expecta-tions are to become part of the intramural programs and be able to have meets with the other middle schools,” she said. “We can

open up opportunities for kids to get exercise, feel good about themselves and build up the programs at the high schools. I’m on a mission.”

BY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER

‘Tis the season - for giving that is. And two Bel-levue schools are leading the way, collecting a variety of items for people in need this holiday season.

Last week at St. Louise Parish School, students worked to collect food items as part of their an-nual November Thanksgiv-ing Basket Project.

Led by the two sixth grade classes, this marked the first year in which the school has partnered with Hopelink Food Bank in Bellevue, the organization chosen by the sixth grade classes as their year-long service project.

For the Thanksgiving Basket Project,the entire school supported the 6th graders in their mission to feed families in need. Through their efforts, the students donated 1,500 pounds of food to Hopelink, providing Thanksgiving meals to 20 families.

Bellevue’s Eastside Christian School also continued its tradition of charitable giving this year, as they served as an official collection point for the Operation Christmas Child program.

The school has been involved with Operation Christmas Child, a year-round project through Samaritan’s Purse, for several years, but this is the

first year the school served as a collection site for the Eastside.

Collection Site Coordi-nator Tina Ogimachi said the school decided to be a collection site because they saw it as a great way to serve the community and as a way to let people know where the school is. She said several hundred boxes - comprised of items including T-shirts, toys, school supplies, wash-cloths, toothbrushes and toothpaste – were dropped off throughout the week.

On Friday, Nov. 16, Eastside Christian teacher Suzie Fouble and her third graders took a field trip to Target to purchase items to create four boxes to donate.

She broke her class in to four groups and allotted them $20 each to spend; the girls shopped for items to create a box for a girl

around their age, and the boys shopped for a boy. At the end of the trip they had spent a little more than expected - $125 - and had enough supplies to fill five boxes, one more than they planned.

All boxes collected in Bellevue will be transferred to Tukwila next week. From there the shoe box gifts will be hand-delivered to needy children in 100 countries around the

world.Third grader Clay

Marshall said his favor-ite part of the Operation Christmas Child project was getting to buy toys for

other kids. “We were not being self-

ish,” he said. His classmate Renee

Yeung added it was nice to buy other children gifts

so they could have a nice Christmas too.
