BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Last month’s seizure of a large cache of firearms and drugs by the Eastside Narcotics Task Force is just one high-light to the regional struggle to contain a heroin epidemic that is showing no signs of slowing down.

The ENTF seized just less than 1,000 grams of heroin in 2010. This year the task force has already taken nearly 6,000 grams, or roughly 13 pounds of heroin off the street.

The Bellevue Fire Department reports its use of Narcan (Nalaxone), a drug administered to those suffering from an opiate overdose, increased from 49 patients in 2010 to 75 in 2013. The Bellevue Police Department is also considering equipping its officers with Narcan; Officers have responded to more than 120 heroin-related calls this year, up from less than 40 in 2010.

“It reverses that effect immediately,” said Bellevue Fire Lt. Rich Burke. “We do track the use of (Narcan) but there’s no way to say we used that in the face of a heroin overdose as opposed to an oxycodone or morphine overdose.”

While prescription opiates like oxycodone and oxycon-tin have long been in high demand, heroin has become a cheap and more easily accessible alternative over the past several years, said Norman Johnson, chief executive officer for Therapeutic Health Services, which has been operating a methadone clinic in Bellevue since 2012.

THS started with 90 Eastside clients when it opened in July 2012 due to demand for closer treatment than Seattle. It now serves 415 clients, a 360-percent increase since its opening, and is contractually allowed 440 clients under

City’s draft budget includes 5 percent property tax hikeBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The city of Bellevue is proposing for the first time in six years raising its share of property tax 5 percent in the 2015-17 biennium to generate revenue it can use to take on critical, but unfunded capital improve-ment projects.

City Council received its first of possibly several budget presentations by staff on Monday, with a public hearing to be held

on Nov. 17.The $1.47-billion budget

calls on the 5 percent prop-erty tax increase, represent-ing less than 1 percent of the overall tax increase, to be bonded over 20 years to provide $25 million in enhanced revenue. For a property owner with a home valued at $500,000, that would mean another $25 in annual property tax payments.

Gov. Jay Inslee addresses the crowd during the 25th Washington Biotechnology & Biomedical Association summit on Oct. 24, discussing the state’s future in the life sciences field.

Gov applauds Washington’sadvancements in life sciences

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

Gov. Jay Inslee says Washington has the ability to become the global leader in life sciences innovation and healthcare delivery, but it’s going to take a unified effort from policy makers and business owners.

On Oct. 24, Inslee spoke about the state’s potential during his keynote address at the Washington Bio-technology & Biomedical Association (WBBA) 25th annual meeting and Gover-nor’s Life Sciences Summit held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.

Earlier this month Inslee’s father, Frank, died after a long battle with several medical conditions. But because of the advances in modern medicine, Frank

was given more time to spend with his loved ones.

“He was able to have a great few last years,” the governor said. “They were so productive because somewhere, in some lab, in some boardroom, there were people who created medicines that kept him going.”

Inslee told the Reporter the life sciences sector for Washington needs to continue to be nurtured in order to grow and provide even more jobs in the state.

While Seattle is home to numerous companies deal-ing with health technology, Bellevue can mimic the success. However, Inslee said, it’s going to take fund-ing and groups like the WBBA. The sector also will need the state’s research and development tax credit

to be renewed if it hopes to thrive. The tax credit is set to expire next year, but Inslee has vowed to work to renew it.

“Our state revenues are growing, but at a much slower pace than in previ-ous recoveries,” he told the crowd of roughly 1,000 business leaders, medical professionals and lawmak-ers attending the event. “While our economy is recovering, it’s not keeping up with the aging popula-tion. The research and development tax credit has been enticing companies to innovations to products here locally. I’m going to work with the legislators to support the continued investment in our state.”

Chris Rivera, WBBA’s president and CEO, said the industry needs to learn to tell its story as well.

Construction activity may have caused an aging water line to break on 120th Avenue Northeast, forcing the road to tempo-rarily close and six nearby businesses to lose water access for several hours on Monday night.

City Utilities spokes-woman Wendy Hairfield said crews responded to a broken 8-inch water main at about 5 p.m. Monday at the southwest corner of 120th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street, shutting off the main about a half hour later. Properties were undamaged, but businesses like Taco del Mar and Bartell Drugs were without water for several hours be-fore service was restored.

It is believed vibra-tions and earth movement caused a break in the pipe, which was installed there by the city in the 1960s, said Hairfield. The city is in Phase 2 of constructing the 120th Avenue North-east project, extending a new five-lane arterial from Northeast Seventh to

Northeast 12th streets. Bel-levue city councilmembers approved increasing the Stage 2 project budget Aug. 4, awarding a $14.9 million construction contract to Goodfellow Bros., Inc., of Wenatchee.

“It might have been the fact that there was some construction, but it was not the contractor who did it,” Hairfield said.

Traffic is now back to normal, with one southbound and two northbound lanes now open. The broken pipe was deemed unnecessary by the city and will be abandoned, Hairfield said. The highest priortiy is to

cut and cap the south end of the pipe so a temporary bypass providing busi-nesses with water can be removed.

Question of the week: “Should a parent be held legallyresponsible if their child uses their gun to commit a crime?”

BY STEPHANIE ZURN

Every � ursday you can � nd East-side Baby Corner (EBC) core vol-unteer, Sandi Dong, in the nonprof-

it’s distribution center toy room sorting through half-dressed dolls, miss-matched puzzle pieces and all sorts of unidenti� -able toy parts that have been donated to the organization. She and her fellow toy volunteers rejoin the parts and pieces, clean them up and get them ready to give out to more than 200 kids each week.

Sandi’s time dedication is the kind of commitment any volunteer-dependent nonpro� t like EBC yearns to have, but Sandi’s involvement with the organization goes even further. She and her husband, Randy, also have decided to support EBC through � nancial contributions.

Randy, who works for Microso� , and Sandi give to EBC through Randy’s work-place giving program. Microso� matches contributions so Randy and Sandi are able to double their gi� . Sandi shares that the doubling of their gi� is not the only reason they use the workplace giving pro-gram. � ey also enjoy the ease of it.

Each year around this time Sandi and Randy sit down to discuss their giv-ing plan. Randy gives the names of the organizations they decide to support to his employer, and they don’t have to

think about it again for another year. It’s that simple.

� is is the time of year many of us are given the opportunity to participate in work-place giving through our place of employ-ment. While some people give to a charity

of their choosing outside of the workplace giving program, these programs have some unique bene� ts that you might want to consider as you make your plans for charitable giving. Workplace giving bene� ts both the community and you, the employee in several ways.

T hree important initiatives are on the ballot for the Tuesday, Nov. 4 vote. Here is a thumbnail recap of our views on each.

Initiative 1351� is is an e� ort to do something to reduce the number

of students in classrooms across the state. It’s a feel-good e� ort, but voters should say “no” to the measure.

Smaller class sizes may indeed be a bene� t for our chil-dren, but while I-1351 would add 12,000 more teachers, along with additional psychologists, librarians, counselors and support sta� , it doesn’t say how the state would pay for the billion-dollar price tag.

� e proper place to deal with education is in the Legisla-ture. A� er all, our state constitution says that education is the paramount duty of the state.

Lawmakers already are under a court order to properly fund education. Voters should vote no on I-1351 and then push lawmakers to do their job.

I-594� ere are two initiatives on the ballot that deal with

guns. I-594 is by far the better of the two. Voters should say “yes.”

Gun sales at licensed gun shops and retail stores require a background check of the buyer. I-594 merely extends this common-sense requirement to gun shows and private sales. No, it won’t end gun violence. But it will standardize the requirements for all gun buyers. Vote “yes.”

I-591� is is the other gun initiative and it does nothing to

improve how we deal with guns. Voters should vote “no.”It would block state e� orts on background checks defer

to Congress to establish tighter regulations. � e problem, of course, is Congress is unlikely to do this. Vote “no.”

— Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

I-594 about control, taxation

First let me say that I think what happened at Marysville-Pilchuk High School is a tragedy. However there is noth-ing in Initiative 594 that would have prevented this from happening. Unlike other letter-writers, I have actually read the whole proposed initiative. Not just the benign pablum the Initiative backers put in the Voter Guide.

It's true law-enforcement and military are exempt in their o� cial capacity. So then if a deputy wants to buy a gun from a friend would this be in his "o� cial capacity?" Not likely. If an Army sergeant wants to buy a private carry piece would he be exempt? Even less likely.

Delivering your firstborn child to their first day of kindergarten is a momentous event, especially if that child chooses that day to throw their

first ever tantrum, taking it to near catatonic heights of hysteria. I also know that in that moment of parental sweatiness you need a good team behind you — a patient

teacher, a focused principal, a school psychologist armed with a strong will and stronger muscles and, most impor-tant, someone who can fast forward you as quickly as possible to the “someday we’re gonna look back at this and laugh” stage.

For me that person has been Chris Metzger, better known as “Mrs. Chris,” the Medina Elementary School office manager who began her well-deserved retirement this month. She was there for

the “first day” and every day for all three of our kids and thousands more over the past 15 years.

She surveyed our school from her cockpit shaped of-fice, a comforting presence to all who entered walking, or stumbling in from the playground mouth open in a silent scream ready to reveal a social injustice or super icky skinned knee. Mrs. Chris was Ground Control, err rather Playground Control.

I know for sure that I am just one of a legion of parents who not only relied upon her genuine smile, sweet calm and surreal patience, but also probably took her skill and presence for granted. She allowed us to do that with her deft handling of teachers, parents, kids, community and administrators alike — dousing her every interaction with word sparkles, eye twinkles and understanding giggles.

As a surprise retirement gift, the school staff produced a brilliant parody of her daily travails; yes, I know for sure you can’t see it. But rest assured it is hilarious and I know I made every single one of those comedic phone calls at least twice (“Since when does school let out early on Wednesday?”)

Mrs. Chris was always the first stop and the miracle that prevented the second stop: PANIC! I am grateful for her loving management of my dusty human groundhog and for faking calm even as we had to call the police to

find my daughter (Sistafoo) after she misplaced herself in kindergarten. I am slightly less grateful that she taught my kids my cell number.

I know for sure that Mrs. Chris is irreplaceable. But I also know for sure that she is one of many irreplaceable, unique, and loving everyday heroes working with and for our kids in our schools. Mrs.Chris is known for her enthusiastic fandom: Seahawks, Huskies, kids and Oprah. But I know for sure her real legacy is the generation of fans and admirers she leaves in the cheerful wake of her vital work in our school district.

into the next shooting booth at a range would he still have "control and supervision" of his grandchild? It could and probably would be argued, no. This initiative isn't about fairness, it's about control, taxation and confiscation.

The voting pamphlet says "antiques are exempt." Fair enough. Yet I-594 says virtually anything that takes a cartridge falls under this regulation. This will apply all the way back to firearms made in 1859. The federal guideline says, anything 1898 and before is exempt. How many times do you hear of someone being injured by a firearm made before 1898?

The irony here is the billionaire backers of I-594 have armed protection of their persons and property 24/7. They have no need to acquire a firearm.

So what's the solution? Frankly I don't know. I do know that "stop and frisk" laws work. At least that focuses on the people who should not have guns under any circumstance.

Time to underground wiresThe Bellevue City Council and planning commission

should consider requiring both electrical and communica-tion Lines to be below ground by 2035.

Why do we want to do this? We no longer want to be in the dark and we desire better reliability with available new technologies and affordable undergrounding.

Currently, approximately 50 percent of these lines are underground in Bellevue. If we can do it for 50 percent of Bellevue, we certainly need to be equitable and find an affordable path for the rest of Bellevue. Other cities and states have plans to increase reliability through under-grounding — California, Washington, D.C. and New

Jersey, to mention a few.We no longer need to be in the dark

when the wind blows.We have two cities now, one without

poles and wires, and the other with poles and wires. Let us begin a planning pro-cess to upgrade all neighborhoods to the same reliability standards. Available new technology including grid batteries and undergrounding is the way to go and this is the time to begin that process.

Habib has wide supportThis Tuesday, voters in the 48th

District are fortunate to have the op-portunity to elect Rep. Cyrus Habib to the state Senate. During his time in the Legislature, Cyrus has demonstrated a willingness to work with colleagues in both parties to get things done for his Eastside constituents.

He authored the law that permits crowdfunding in Washington state, to facilitate access to capital for small busi-nesses and startups. He has championed high standards and full funding for our public schools so we can be less reliant on levies. And he has held the state ac-countable for delays and mistakes with the SR 520 bridge replacement project.

I consider myself an independent voter. In recent years I have supported both Republicans and Democrats, always choosing the candidate, not the party,

who demonstrates a willingness to work hard, compromise to get things done and place public service over personal ambi-tion.

That is why I support Cyrus, and it is probably why he has earned the endorse-ment of the Seattle Times, all seven members of the Bellevue City Council, the mayors of Bellevue, Kirkland, Red-mond and Medina, and dozens of elected officials and organizations across the political spectrum.

When he is not in Olympia, Cyrus practices law at a local firm, teaches at Seattle University and helps raise money for Bellevue College, the Kindering Cen-ter, Hopelink and many other Eastside causes.

Join me in sending Cyrus back to Olympia for another term representing us in the Legislature.

Salute and sacri�ce not trivialConcerning " President's Salute Not an

Issue" letter from the Oct. 10, tall about out of touch. For the letter writer or any-one else to consider the lack of a salute, or a salute not completed correctly, trivial when acknowledging our nations �ag, or to return the salute from a member of our volunteer armed forces is in itself an issue.

But, as the writer stated, he expects "the rest of the fake patriotism conservatives" to "focus on �xing the real issues in the world like ........"

Has he considered that maybe it is not such a trivial thing to those who have sacri�ced or put their lives in harm's way so that he has the freedom to speak as

thoughtlessly as he does?We conservatives care for and about

these guardians of our nation's �ag to not trivialize the respect due to them.

Suspensions wrong approachNearly four million students were sus-

pended in the 2009-10 school year nation-wide. Suspension rates have been increasing dramatically since the late 20th century, but have children really gotten less obedi-ent, or are suspensions just not an e�ective punishment?

Suspending students from school just doesn’t make sense. A student does some-thing bad, the punishment is a week of no school. What kid wouldn’t want that? �ere usually isn’t even an e�ect on grades, since the work can be made up. If schools really want kids to learn from their mistakes, they should be adding school time not taking it away.

Sure, most students would be disappoint-ed on missing out on social time and extra-curricular activities, but a few days o� isn’t really going to have a big e�ect on whether they act di�erently next time. Some schools, including those in the Bellevue School Dis-trict, have started imposing Saturday School for excessive absences. �is is a much more reasonable punishment. However it is for something much less important.

Absences and tardies are an important part of school, but shouldn’t the more e�ec-tive penalty be saved for something worse? Instead of suspension, students should have to attend something similar to Saturday School, but for a more prolonged amount of time.

ing it will have in the coming year. �is understanding allows the organization to plan ahead and make the most of contri-butions.

�e employee bene�ts in the obvious way that workplace giving is convenient. You can have your gi� taken from your paycheck and can still take advantage of the tax incentives. Another clear ben-e�t to workplace giving is that if your employer matches funds, you double your contribution, helping organizations like EBC do even more to accomplish the mission you believe in.

A less obvious bene�t to employees that participate in workplace giving is that you get to help direct your organiza-tions’ charitable giving. You get to decide where they will spend their philanthropic dollars.

EBC receives more than $50,000 each year through workplace giving, with almost half coming from matching funds. We are able to use this money to buy the things that we do not or cannot receive through in-kind donations, like car seats, port-a-cribs, formula and diapers. We use our ability to buy these items in bulk, and at a discounted rate to stretch the funds that come in through workplace giving.

Need more information? We invite you to visit EBC to see how we put workplace giving funds and other donations to use. Email [email protected] and we will schedule a time that works for you.

Police chief fires lieutenant, claims forged document, lyingBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A Bellevue Police lieutenant was terminated Oct. 23 for allegedly falsifying a document submitted with a worker’s compensation claim and lying about it during an investigation.

Police Lt. Lisa Flores assisted in the arrest of a combative woman at the Bellevue Collection on Feb. 5, 2012, which resulted in her be-ing kicked by the suspect twice in her right knee. Another lieutenant � led a Force Response Review fol-lowing the incident.

Nearly a year later, Flores experienced a health-related issue while at the gym that later re-quired medical treatment. Believ-ing it was related to the February incident, Flores submitted a claim with the state department of Labor and Industries on March 8, 2013.

According to her notice of termination, Flores allegedly forged a new Force Response Re-view, backdated to Feb. 5, 2012, and submitted it with other documents as part of her worker’s

compensation claim. � e forged FRR included a marked box indi-cating an o� cer had been injured during the incident at the Bellevue

Collection, which was not part of the original report, according to her notice of termination.

“� e uno� cial FRR has di� erent control tactics listed than the o� cial FRR and omits that Lt. Flores struck the suspect with her foot approximately one time on the back of

(her) knee to reduce resistance,” according to the termination

notice.Flores’ use of force was deemed

acceptable as described in the of-� cial Force Response Review, and the notice of termination states Flores’ motivation for falsifying the document was to avoid losing pay while undergoing treatment for her injured knee. As of Jan. 1, 2013, Flores had only 40 hours of paid leave time available.

“… It is evident you provided (the city’s worker’s compensation self insured administrator) with additional documentation on March 8, 2013 as she suggested to overcome the possible denial of your worker’s compensation claim and the associated negative

� nancial consequences,” according to the termination notice provided to Flores by interim Police Chief Jim Montgomery. “You have had a number of worker’s compensation claims where you received time loss payments because (of) your inability to work.

“... � e deception you used in creating and submitting the document as an o� cial BPD form causes distrust in your work product. � e deception used when questioned about the form is even more disturbing as to your code of ethics when confronted by your employer.”

Flores had been with the de-partment for 19 years.

Facing the potential for service failure in the future, King County is consider-ing placing a levy lid li� measure on the spring ballot to fund the estimated

$225-million replacement of its regional radio system.

King County Radio Communications Manager David Mendel described the system as being in a “position of peril” to the Bellevue City Council on

Monday. Built using an excess

property tax levy approved in 1992, the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network will be at risk of losses in capacity and coverage by 2018, when its service ven-dor will stop supporting the nearly 20-year-old system, Mendel said. Its replace-ment will be King County’s most complex and expen-

sive project of this decade, he added.

Rather than going to vot-ers for funding � rst, Mendel said King County changed its approach with this proj-ect and will contract with a vendor for replacement of the system � rst, in order to know exactly how much funding will be needed.

� e $225-million esti-mate had started at up to

$500 million six months ago, before fully analyzing the scope of the project, Mendel said.

� e levy lid li� measure is likely to appear on April 2015 ballots and, if ap-proved, is estimated to cost county residents between 6.5 to 7 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value over nine years, or about $32 to $35 a year for a $500,000

home.� e regional radio system

is owned by four entities, including the city of Seattle, King County, Valley Com-munications Center in Kent and the Eastside Public Safety Communications Agency, which holds in-terlocal agreements with the cities of Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah and Mercer Island.

County to seek levy lid lift to fund Puget Sound radio system replacement

LISAFLORES

For those not afraid of things that go bump in the night, the Eastside Heritage Center of-fers up these tales from Bellevue’s spooky past.

Bellevue Pioneer Cemetery/Mid-Lakes cemetery

One of Bellevue’s earliest cemeteries was lo-cated near what is now 116th Avenue North-east and Bellevue-Redmond Road. It began as the Warren family plot when Jesse Warren buried his daughter there in 1900. In the years that followed, the Warren family let neighbors and friends bury their dead there as well.

Eventually the land was sold to developers and the bodies were moved — but many of the plots were unmarked graves. It is rumored the ghosts of those unmarked graves are still seeking closure and revenge against whoever vandalized or stole their markers.

Clise Mansion/ Marymoor Museum

In 1904 the Clise, Bratnober and Dickey families moved into the Clise Mansion shortly after it was built. Decades later it would house the Marymoor Museum and on several occasions staff members would smell someone cooking. However when they went to check who or what was in the kitchen, they found nothing but the dark-ened room.

Others would often hear “heavy footsteps” walking up the stairs after hours, but again, no one would be on the staircase, nor would there be any other physical explanations.

One staff member said they heard several knocks coming from one of the downstairs

rooms, which had a doorknocker and a name-plate from one of the former resident families. The staff opened every door in the mansion — but found no one.

The, one Halloween, three local teenagers arrived at the museum clutching an Ouija board. They said they wanted to check out the upstairs of the building where the bedrooms had been. Each was sure the home was haunted, claiming they’d been led there by a force they’d been following. As soon as they entered the bedrooms they all left without revealing what their board had told them from the beyond.

And finally, one night two of the staff were working in the office. One of them, who had experienced “extrasensory connections,” suddenly stopped and said, “I sense that man is here. He’s pushing on my shoulder. He is friendly.” After hearing that, the staffer vowed never to work late again, so as not to disturb the resident spirit.

The “Phantom” of Phantom Lake

Bogs have long surrounded what’s now known as Phantom Lake. But in the 1880s, a settler decided he could improve the land’s quality if he drained the area around the lake. He set out to dig a seven-foot-wide ditch around the circumference of the lake, to create an outlet for the smaller lake to run into Lake Sammamish. But what he didn’t know is that the “phantom” that would claim the ditch as its home. Early in the morning a human-shaped cloud of mist will travel up the channel from the east. As it gets over the lake, it fades, but not necessarily leaves.

Bellevue’s haunted past

There’s no better way to get in touch with your

roots than music. While growing up with a last name starting with Mc, I was drawn to all things Scot-tish, whether it was music or some kind of tartan covered tchotchke. It was meant to be when my sixth grade teacher was a bagpiper who would entertain a class of surly 12 year olds on afternoons when we’d finished our work.

Later, I attended a high school with a Scottish mascot and a pipe band and learned to play. My younger brother fol-lowed suit by becoming

a pipe band drummer and my younger sister

became a high-land dancer. We were a matched set, albeit a nerdy one.

I continued to play for 14 years, until I had my first child. I was even fortunate enough to com-pete in Scotland. Luckily you

don’t have to travel far to experience the music of the cultures in Bellevue, because the library is bringing them to you.

The patrons of the Bel-levue Library have been enjoying a series called Bellevue Rhythm and Roots, which has featured groups performing music from the Balkans, songs

in a variety of languages. The final performances of this series will celebrate India, West Africa and Japan. All programs have been sponsored by the Bellevue Friends of the Library.

Please join us at the Bellevue Library for the following performances:

n The Rhythms of India Celebrate Diwali, Saturday, Nov. 1, 4 p.m.

n Mohammed Shaibu & Soyaya: Music from West Africa, Sunday, Nov. 2, 2 p.m.

n Taiko: Japanese Drumming, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2 p.m.

The city of Bellevue is a culturally rich communi-ty. Bring your friends and family and learn about your neighbors through the music of their cul-tures. By exploring West African music or Taiko drumming you may de-cide to learn more about the instruments. I warn you, music is an addictive endeavor, and it doesn’t always require a kilt.

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 expecta-tion of the job.

Stealing mail has long been a crime of op-portunity, and Bellevue is a long-time target for its perceived affluence.

The Bellevue Police Department has received more than 160 mail theft reports so far this year. However, the U.S. Postal Service investigates these federal crimes.

“That sounds about right for that area,” said Jeremy Leder, an investigator with USPS. “I think, historically in this area, Bellevue has always been a target for mail thieves because mail thieves think they’re going to get more bang for their buck. … I’ve interviewed mail thieves who have admitted that.”

The Postal Service advises customers to invest in locking mailboxes, which Leder said Bellevue has fewer of than some Eastside cit-ies though mail theft cases are no higher than

in those other communities.“We prosecute a fair number of these guys

that we catch,” he said. “We try to get federal prosecution because mail theft is a federal crime.”

Two postal inspectors work with the BPD on mail theft cases, and will surveil areas re-porting spikes in thefts. Police also have had luck with traffic stops where the driver is found with stolen mail inside their vehicles.

Leder said USPS has ramped up its pre-vention efforts over the past several years, encouraging the formation of community watch groups and implementation of lock-ing mailboxes by homeowners associations.

Postal Service staff can provide guidance for community watch groups, said Leder, adding the best way to curb mail thefts is to make it clear to prospective criminals that neighborhoods are organized and vigilant.

Mail thefts a constant concernPostal Service recommends ways to keep mailboxes safe, secure

Austin Police Assistant Chief Raul Munguia said Bellevue’s police force should better reflect the city’s changing demograph-ics, which would build more trust with its growing immigrant population. Munguia has served in his role since 2010, first joining the Austin Police Department in 1984 as a patrol officer. He oversees daily operations in a department of 2,300 law enforce-

ment and support staff, and holds a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science from Mid-Western State University.

Seattle Assistant Police Chief Nicholas Metz said officer recruit-ment should be focused locally, with a focus on programs in high schools that generate positive interactions between youth and police. Metz is one of two local finalists, having served with the SPD for 31 years. He has been

assistant chief since 2001, and has a degree in law enforcement ad-ministration from City University.

Bellevue Police Deputy Chief Jim Jolliffe, a 23-year veteran of the department, said the BPD has an outreach team for staff recruitment, but should con-sider targeting other parts of the country. Jolliffe holds a criminal justice degree from the American Military University.

Mitch McCann, police chief in Simi Valley, Calif., has more than 29 years of law enforcement ex-perience, and acknowledged the

loss of seasoned officers through retirement is impacting agencies across the nation. He said veteran officers need to be paired with new recruits quickly to pass on their institutional knowledge, adding young officers joining the ranks add value due to having more experience with today’s technology. McCann has been chief of the Simi Valley Police De-partment since 2012. He holds a degree in business administration and Master of Public Administra-tion degree from California State University-Northridge.

Minneapolis Assistant Police Chief Matthew Clark said he would focus on defining what Bellevue looks for in a new recruit as far as their adaptability and emotional maturity, requiring su-pervisors to closely monitor their progress and conduct frequent performance evaluations. Clark has 21 years of experience with his department, serving as assis-tant chief since 2012. Clark holds a Master of Public Administration and Human Services degree from Concordia University in St. Paul, Minn.

Chism Beach’s ‘Life Cycle’ to get $14K reduxBY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

A wood sculpture by Pat McVay in Bellevue’s Chism Beach Park will soon be getting recycled. The piece “Life Cycle,” which showcases the various stages of a salmon’s life, has suffered heavy damage from the ele-ments, causing one large piece to fall off due to rot. The city’s arts commis-sion deemed it beyond repair Tuesday night.

Arts specialist Mary Pat Byrne told the commission she’d been struggling to decide what to do with the piece for the past several years, knowing that its repairs would cost far more than the $10,000 spent to purchase it in the late 1990s.

“Extensive sun damage” and “water trapped on the sculpture since 1998” deteriorated the piece beyond repair,

McVay wrote to the commission in a letter. Because of its location beneath shedding trees and the lack of air space between the piece and its cement base, restoration, if possible, would cost roughly $35,000 and would have to be moved indoors, or $100,000 to cast it in bronze.

McVay said he deeply regrets how quickly the piece has rotted and of-fered to recreate it using a similarly sized piece of salvaged cedar instead of the Sitka spruce used for the original. Applying layers of penetrating marine finish to the new piece also would prevent such damage to the new piece, he added.

“He feels terrible that the piece has deteriorated, which is why he’s anxious to build a replacement that will last,” Byrne said. “The site of a rotten sculp-ture is a very negative image of the art and the city.”

The commission agreed, voting unanimously to deaccession the art back to McVay and the $14,500 pro-posal to build a recreation.

McVay said the current price for a similar sized sculpture would normally cost $30,000, but he is willing to do it for less than half because of the prob-lems with the first piece.

Using the existing foundation, Mc-Vay plans to attach a vapor barrier and sill to the concrete prior to the instal-lation of the artwork to prevent water infiltration through the base.

The process is estimated to take between three and four months to carve a similar piece. This time, how-ever, McVay said the sculpture will be designed to shed rain water.

The commission also agreed to establish a maintenance plan for the piece to ensure it’s properly taken care of in the future.


The Bellevue Arts Commission approved $14,500 to be spent on a replacement for ‘Life Cycle,’ which has suffered severe rot.

Free tickets are now available for the Sammamish Arts Commission’s winter holiday show. For two nights in Decem-ber, the Sammamish Arts Commission Repertory Collective Project is presenting “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,” Saturday, Dec. 20, and Sunday, Dec. 21, at the Eastlake

Most people know John Lennon, the musician. Fewer know Lennon the visual artist.

But Lennon’s love affair with drawing and painting — particularly cartoonish pencil portraits of himself and his fam-ily — ran parallel to his music career and, in fact, superseded it late in life. For five of his last seven years on Earth, Lennon didn’t pick up a guitar, but he continued to draw.

Lennon studied at the Liverpool Col-lege of Art during the three years be-fore The Beatles formed. He continued to draw and paint while working with The Beatles and in his post-Beatles career.

Lennon would create a piece of art whenever the mood struck him, wife Yoko Ono said.

“He didn’t limit himself and he didn’t say ‘I want to do it in the morning,’ or ‘I want to do it at night,’” Ono said. “He was very different that way.”

Beginning Friday, Oct. 31 and run-ning through Nov. 2, a pop-up stop of The Artwork of John Lennon official exhibit will be hosted at The Shops at The Bravern in downtown Bellevue.

Suggested $3 donations and merchan-dise sales will benefit Hopelink, the foundation that serves homeless and low-income persons on the Eastside and Shoreline.

Hopelink’s mission to fight home-lessness is one the late guitarist and activist would have supported, Ono said. She recalled an instance when they were walking near their home in New York and a homeless woman stuck her hand out for change. Ono had been put off by the encounter.

“But he said to me, ‘You have to re-member there’s not very much distance between us and that lady,’” she said. “He was always that way about things. He was a very successful man, but he

never forgot there were people that did not have that same kind of good fortune.”

Lennon’s artwork was never highly exhibited during his life, due to the public perception of Lennon as a mu-sician only and a lack of enthusiasm for pencil art. One notable exhibit was in 1970, when he showed 14 litho-graphs from his “Bag One” portfolio, a wedding gift to Ono. Interest was revitalized after his death, Ono said, and Ono began releasing her late hus-band’s work to the public in 1986.

The Artwork of John Lennon was organized by Ono and Legacy Fine Art & Productions to tour in cities for the benefit of nonprofits.

Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra kicks off its 50th concert season at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, at the Renton IKEA Performance Center with the return of one of its most successful recent alums.

Chan, the 2008 BYSO’s concerto competition cham-pion, earned his bachelor’s degree from Eastman School of Music this spring and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music.

For the concert, Chan will join the BYSO and musi-cal director Teresa Metzger Howe to perform the first movement of Schumann’s lyrical “Cello Concerto in A Minor,” Sibelius’ “Symphony No. 6,” and Giacchino’s score from the movie “Star Trek Into Darkness.”

Metzger Howe said the longevity of the BYSO speaks volumes about the group’s commitment to music.

Tickets for the concert range from $15 for adults to $12 for youth and seniors.

Prospective culinary crafters got more than just a mouthful of a new dish Tuesday as Newport High School’s kitchen played host to the newest installment of “Teaching with the CIA,” a live feed cooking show put on by the Culinary Institute of America.

The program, which showcases student op-portunities at the college’s various campuses, was broadcast to other schools in the state participating in Prostart, the National Restaurant Association’s high school education foundation.

Chef David Ivey-Soto, a former CIA instructor, guided students in the classroom and those watch-ing live online, through the process of preparing salmon gravlax, a curing technique for proteins.

He also encouraged them to utilize all five of their

senses when preparing food and not to be afraid to try new ideas.

“Cook with abandon,” Ivey-Soto said. “Chefs don’t make mistakes, they just come up with new recipes.”

Each of the students are getting a head start on a potential career by being in the Prostart classes, some-thing he wishes would have been available when he went through high school.

“It’s setting the trajec-tory for them, giving them a head start ahead of the competition,” he said. “If you know what you need to learn, it makes it a lot easier to know how to learn it.”

Chef Mitchell Mayers is living proof of the success of both Newport High School and the CIA, ac-cording to his former high school culinary teacher Tracy Green.

About a decade ago May-ers was one of Green’s first students when the program launched at Newport. After being accepted to the

CIA and Cornell, Mayers was chosen as a manage-ment trainee for Hillstone

Restaurant Group working in Miami for several years before moving to Denver and hired as an executive chef.

Recently he and his fiancee moved the Pacific

Northwest where he started working as a cook for Lark restaurant in Seattle.

On Tuesday, Mayers returned to Newport, an accomplished chef, to teach them how he makes one of

his favorite dishes, parsnip potato gnocchi with crispy guanciale, chanterelles and quince chutney.

Bellevue is just the beginning for Chick-fil-A’s expansion into the Puget Sound region and its other two Washington lo-cations slated to open in 2015 are still the tip of the iceberg. In all, the Atlanta-based chain plans to open up to 20 stores here by 2020.

“In all honesty, guys, this is a dream come true for us,” said Blake Goodman, Chick-fil-A real estate director, during Wednesday’s groundbreaking at the Bellevue store location on Northeast Eighth Street, slated to be the first of three Washington chains to open next spring.

Chick-fil-A has been planning its Bellevue opening since 2009, Goodman said, far less time than the company has been receiving customer requests

to do so. It also plans to open stores in Lynnwood and Tacoma in 2015, but the Bellevue location will be the first and is tentatively set to open in March. The Bellevue location will also be the first to be constructed using a new, modern design.

“We have never built this building before,” Goodman said. “We’re excited

to see what it looks like.”Valerie Escoffrey-Artis will operate

the Bellevue chain, her first Chick-fil-A. The mother-of-two from southern Cali-fornia will receive operators training before relocating to Bellevue ahead of the restaurant’s opening.

“This is one operator’s sole source of income,” Goodman said.

He told the Reporter he is already researching as many as eight other locations in the Puget Sound region for Chick-fil-A’s expansion, and the com-pany plans to open 16-20 more stores by 2020. The company was founded in 1967, and has more than 1,850 restau-rants in 41 states.

“It’s a dynamic market, and we didn’t think we would be able to get here,” he said of a Bellevue location. The company first attempted to acquire the Wendy’s restaurant downtown but declined the high price.

Bellevue City Councilmember John Stokes told a crowd at Wednesday’s groundbreaking the Chick-fil-A site, formerly a Denny’s restaurant, is located in an area that will see a surge of rede-velopment over the next several years, as East Link light rail comes into the area.

“This was a brilliant location choice,” he said.

2015: Year of the chickenChick-fil-A expansion in Washington starts in Bellevue BY BRANDON MACZ

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bartell Drugs is keeping up with the joneses with plans to remodel and expand its Northeast Eighth Street location, just south of the recently remodeled QFC store.

The south side of the store will be demolished to add 5,597 square feet of additional space, the remodel to include a remodeled pharmacy, new flooring, fixtures and lighting.

Plans submitted to the city show illustrations of the remodel including a CareClinic, a retail health clinic model launched by Bartell earlier this year through a partnership with Group Health.

“That hasn’t been decided,” said Bob Edwards, director of construction and facilities at Bartell Drugs. “We add elements for what we believe we will include.”

Bartell opened its first Bellevue CareClinic at its Crossroads store in February, using already available space. A remodel of the downtown store’s pharmacy could be a sign the retailer is ready to expand its new model.

“We’re constantly looking to upgrade our portfo-lio,” Edwards said, “but this is a major store for us, and we want to make sure we get this done right for the neighborhood.”

The Bellevue Wolverines girls soccer program didn’t hesitate to give back to the community that helped mold their soccer careers.

The Wolverines, who have put together a perfect 14-0 season on the soccer pitch thus far, hosted a free soccer clinic/jamboree for the Bellevue Youth Soccer Club on Oct. 25 at Bellevue High School. The players in attendance ranged in age from ages 6 to 11.

Each Wolverine soccer player set up stations where groups of eight different youthful soccer players went through a barrage of instructional drills with a focus on enhancing their skills. Bellevue head coach Matt Dorman said he was

proud of his team for sharing their expertise with young-sters pursuing soccer in the Bellevue region.

“They know these kids are looking up to them and are following in their footsteps. When they were young play-ers, they had a lot of support that helped them get to where

Having a height advantage in soccer is a bonus for any player.

Soccer is a sport featuring a plethora of 50/50 balls and having that added size on the field translates into more possessions, which can result in stops on defense and goals scored on offense. Bellevue senior center de-fender Corinne Foster, who is 5 feet, 11 inches, utilizes her size to make plays on the soccer field. The four-year starter prides herself on being aggressive on the field at all times.

"I love attacking the ball in the air and being forceful. That's something we work on as a defense as a whole. We want to be really forceful and not allow anybody on offense to get behind us," Foster said.

Playing with controlled fury and poise is a fine line, which Foster

knows very well. "As much as I like to get excited

and hyped up during the game I like to keep myself calm or more or less keep the team calm. I'm the one in the center (on defense) so I have a lot of responsibility in terms of communi-cating," Foster said. "I like playing in the back. It allows me to keep control of the team in a sense."

Wolverines' head coach Matt Dor-man said Foster's positive attitude and sheer joy of the game has a positive effect on her teammates.

"Corinne’s personality epitomizes

what we want to associate with our school and our soccer program," Dor-man said.

The Wolverines boast an undefeat-ed overall record of 14-0.

"We have some lofty aims, but we take each game as it comes. We've had success so far but we just want to focus on the process and what we can do to be successful. If we do that, it is going to help out with having the outcomes we want at the end of the year," he said.

In the final regular season home game of the 2014 season the New-port Knights played their typical brand of smashmouth football against the Mount Si Wildcats.

The game-plan of running the ball behind its massive offensive line worked to perfection. Newport's Paul Wells scored four touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) and Newport (6-2 overall) cruised to a 54-27 victory against Mount Si on Oct. 24 in Bellevue. The game was tied 13-13 at halftime before the Knights outscored the Wild-cats 28-0 in the third quarter to take control of the game for good. Knights' head football coach Drew Oliver was glad to see his team play its style of football in the second half. The driving rain and blustery weather conditions was the perfect

environment to keep the ball on the ground as much as possible.

"I think we imposed our will. We played the game kind of game we were capable of playing," Oliver said of the second half. "Our rushing attack is what we are built on. We were in a battle and our guys did great. We started the game pretty slow. We talked to them about the challenge at halftime and they answered the bell."

Oliver wasn't surprised to see Wells take over in the final regular season home game of his high school career.

"Paul Wells is an intense com-petitor. He is a great athlete and it shows. He's fierce and no matter where you put him on the field, he is going to do great things for us. I'm spoiled to say that is kind of typical for Paul Wells. That is what we get out of him," he said.

Wells credited the offensive line-

man in front of him plowing open gaping holes, which allowed him to roam free through the Wildcats' secondary for a 84-yard touchdown run, 37-yard touchdown run and a 40-yard touchdown jaunt.

"I feel like we have the best offen-sive line in the state," Wells said. "I just have to give credit to the entire offensive line for opening up all the holes. I was following my lineman and they gave me great blocks. I just took it from there."

Newport will face the Woodin-ville Falcons in the regular season finale at 7 p.m. on Oct. 31 in Wood-inville. Newport is currently in a three-way tie for second place in the Class 4A KingCo Division with the Eastlake Wolves and Skyline Spartans.

"We got to take it to Woodinville and hopefully get the No. 2 seed out of KingCo for the playoffs," Wells said.

Marco Stanchi makes a pass to a teammate during the San Diego Invitational water polo tourney on Oct. 25.

Foster said the Wolver-ines have plenty of room to improve as the regular season winds down and the playoffs approach.

"We need to keep im-proving because we're go-ing to run into some really good teams later on. We need to be ready for that competition," Foster said.

Foster didn't start playing soccer until 2006 at age 10. Prior to playing soccer she tried basketball and swim-ming, but soccer quickly became her No. 1 sport.

"When I was younger I really wasn't that into sports, but once I started soccer I always have loved it. Once I started, I couldn't stop playing," she said.

they are today,” Dorman said. “Our team wants to help grow, expand and improve the game in our area. Supporting the community is important to them. This is something we want to continue for years to come down the line. I know everyone enjoyed the experience.”

Over the years, I have covered a plethora of different camps featuring a wide array of different sports. The impact these high school student athletes make on the youngsters of their respective communities is undeniable. Youngsters faces light up with glee when they get to interact with high-school athletes.

I commend the Wolverines for spending a Saturday after-noon with the youth of the region. I wouldn’t be surprised if a decade from now a slew of kids in attendance at last weekend’s clinic are doing the exact same thing for community.

sector employed 92,400 jobs in Washington state, contributing $11.4 billion to the GDP, he said, adding the WBBA is on track to help 100 new startup companies this year alone.

“Life sciences is one of the largest and fastest growing job sectors in the country, but we’re in a very competi-tive environment,” he said.

Four other states, includ-ing Massachusetts, are pour-ing state funds directly into life sciences businesses to attract large pharmaceutical companies and small start-ups to launch their products and technology elsewhere.

One of the ways to attract attention is to get the word out of what’s being devel-oped in Washington, and the stories behind those affected by the medical breakthroughs, Rivera said.

“This area is known for its software development, aero-space advancement and cof-fee, but there’s just as much innovation coming out of life sciences as those other industries, we just have to do a better job of telling our story,” he said. “We get geeky really quick about the technical and science. We have to get past that and tell patients’ stories then tie that back to the research going on here locally.”

Rivera pointed to the suc-cess of Steve Gillis, co-cre-ator of Seattle-based biotech company Immunex, and a local woman, Donna Jang, who is able to walk thanks to the medical advances from Cadence Biomedical and Kickstart.

Jang said she’s gone from being sedentary and hav-ing constant hip pain to being able to work through physical therapy three days a week and taking ballroom dance lessons with her husband.

“I used to use a Segway to get anywhere that I was go-ing to have to walk further than a block,” she said. “And if I did any kind of walking at all, I had so much pain that I had to take naproxin. But now I can go anywhere and I can walk most any-where.”

At the meeting, the WBBA also announced a new partnership with Cambia Health Solutions, Regence BlueShield and local medical profession-als Qliance and University of Washington Medicine to build a new biomedical business incubator facility.

The Cambia Grove will offer a centralized location and meeting place for those working to develop new and better products and technologies.

The space, located in downtown Seattle, is slated to open in late January.

The reunion was a proud moment for Green.

“Often times you may not ever hear from your students, or about how they’re doing, but there’s some-thing about food. They want to keep sharing what they’re doing,” Green said. “Seeing Mitchell up there cook-ing was special. I thought I was going to cry. It’s really rewarding.”

Mayers said that between what he learned at Newport and CIA, he felt

truly prepared to handle whatever food fiasco found him.

“I wouldn’t be here without this education,” Mayers told the Reporter. “It builds such a strong foundation. You may not be a master at any one skill, but you’ll certainly know how to do all of them.”

The Culinary Arts Hospitality Training program is open to all stu-dents in the Bellevue School District and neighboring districts. While many of the students may pursue other interests beyond cooking, Green and Mayers said they learn valuable life lessons. Newport seniors Mimi Taqieddin and Paul Tomlinson,

both 17, agreed, saying the class has opened all their senses to food com-binations they never dreamt of.

“I used to be very picky about what I ate. I absolutely hated asparagus,” Tomlinson said. “But Mrs. Green made it one day with almonds and olive oil, and now I can’t get enough of it.”

For Taqieddin, her culinary pursuit stems from her mother’s experi-ence working in restaurants and her father’s Middle Eastern heritage.

“I’ve always liked food and it’s been a huge staple for me and my fam-ily,” she said. “There’s just something about cooking for other people.”

Newport High School’s culinary teacher Tracy Green is interviewed by Culinary Institute of America during a live feed.


A Bellevue-based Second Amendment group is now requesting leniency for a former city councilwoman accused of stealing two of their pro-I-591 signs

she claims was in retaliation for the the� of her own signs supporting an opposing measure on the Nov. 4 bal-lot, but only if the 74-year-old pub-licly apologizes.

Police responded to the home of Margot Blacker on Oct. 13 a� er an I-591 sign was reported stolen on the 2200 block of 140th Avenue Northeast. A witness report-ed seeing a woman taking the sign and putting in her car, and an o� cer matched the license plate to a vehicle owner by Blacker, according to a police report.

Blacker served on the Bellevue City Council from

1990 to 1997. She reportedly told police

she stole two I-591 signs a� er 15 of her I-594 signs went missing, believing they were taken by the Bellevue-based Second Amendment group, the Citizen’s Com-mittee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and Protect Our Gun Rights.

I-591 is a measure that would prevent guns from being seized without due process and prevents background checks from being implemented unless such a law were established by the federal government. � e opposing measure supported by Blacker, I-594,

would require background checks for all � rearms purchases in Wash-ington, includ-ing from private owners and at guns shows.

� e police report states Blacker told an o� cer she

contacted the CCRKBA about her stolen signs, tell-ing them she would steal 15 of their I-591 signs and return them to their o� ce in response to her belief the organization was behind her missing I-594 signs.

Police contacted rep-resentatives from the CCRKBA, who denied stealing Blacker’s signs and con� rmed their desire to

pursue charges against the former city o� cial. � ey also denied ever receiving a call from Blacker regard-ing her intent to take their signs, the report states.

In a release on Friday, the CCRKBA states its chair-man, Alan Gottlieb, is now asking the city attorney’s o� ce to show Blacker leniency, “but only on the condition that she publicly apologizes for her action, promises not to do it again, and that she makes a contri-bution equal to or in excess of her I-594 donation, to LifeWire, a Bellevue-based domestic violence organiza-tion.”

Gottlieb is also asking the I-594 campaign to condemn Blacker’s actions and return any donations she’s made to its campaign or donate it to charity. If the campaign does not take either of these actions, Gottlieb states in the release it would signify its approval of Blacker’s al-leged actions.

� e police report states probable cause exists to charge Blacker with third-degree the� , a gross misdemeanor. Each sign is valued at about $5. Blacker has yet to return a call from the Reporter for comment, which will be added to this story, if it becomes available.

Bobbye L. RunnelsOur wonderful Bobbye L. Runnels

passed away peacefully at home in Sun City West, Arizona on October 22, 2014 with her husband Floyd by her side.

Bobbye was born May 18, 1934 in Round Rock, Texas to Clyde Milton Love and Carrie Mae Love (nee Bingham). She graduated from Sharp High School and soon after met future husband Joe Neal Runnels Jr while watching Joe pole vault at the University of Texas. Bobbye and Joe wed on July 6, 1953 in Tumwater, WA. They settled in Bellevue, WA in the early 1960s and raised two sons. A very devoted mother who attended all her sons’ year-around school and athletic events, Bobbye spent her leisure time making � ower arrangements in the Newport Hills Garden Club, playing in a women’s golf club, and a neighborhood bridge club.. To further explore her creative side, she took up pottery as a hobby in the early 70’s. Her early works proved to be popular in local arts and crafts shows, and her talents and artistry continued to blossom. By the time she had thrown her � nal pot, she had put both her sons through college from her pottery earnings.

When Joe was stricken with cancer in 1983, Bobbye never left his side during his 15-month illness. Two years after Joe’s passing, a mutual love of dancing brought Bobbye and Floyd Jones together. They married on May 22, 1988 in Bellevue. Floyd’s overseas work assignment with Boeing a� orded the newlyweds the opportunity to travel. So from the late 80’s thru the 90’s, the Texas farm girl from a graduating class of 8 students traveled to far-away points on the globe. Settling in Sun City West beginning in 2001, Bobbye and Floyd enjoyed attending Seattle Mariners spring training games in Peoria, and traveling to family gatherings in Washington and Texas.

Family and friends will always remember Bobbye as a sweet, creative, loyal, and strong-minded role model. She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband Floyd Jones of Sun City West, AZ; son Clay Runnels and wife Vicki of Duvall, WA; son Craig Runnels and wife Kathie of Bellevue, WA; granddaughters Lyndsey, Rebecca, and Jacqueline Runnels; and her siblings residing in Texas: Brothers Jimmie, Dennis, Leon, and Lynn Love; and sisters Nancy Bales, Florene Acord, Dorothy Stevenson, Elaine Merritt, Susie Dixon, and Judi Kruse, along with many nieces and nephews.

Burial at Sunset Hills Memorial Park. Remembrances can be made to the American Parkinson Disease Association.

an agreement with King County. THS Eastside branch manager Jer-emy Peterson said that increase is partly due to an increase in heroin use, but is also the result of better access to treatment services.

Johnson said strides made nationally to curb the use of prescription painkillers has been effective, but is also driving demand for heroin. Under a new rule by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency that took effect Oct. 6, hy-drocodone combination products were reclassified from a Schedule III to Schedule II narcotic, making HCDs more difficult to obtain.

“That has an incredible im-plication, from my experience,” said Johnson, adding the reclas-sification is expected to drive the demand for heroin even higher.

Heroin became more attractive to those addicted to oxycodone and oxycontin several years ago, when pharmaceutical companies removed ingredients that allowed the drugs to be smoked, said Bel-levue Police Capt. Bill Bryant, who serves on the Eastside Narcotics Task Force.

“That’s when heroin was cheaper at the time,” he said.

A gram of heroin can cost between $100 to $125 in today’s black market, which means roughly $600,000 in product has

been seized by the task force so far this year. The typical addict, Bryant said, uses 1-3 grams daily, which results in users committing crimes to afford their habit.

“It’s affecting the whole spec-trum of crimes out there,” Bryant said, from thefts and robberies to domestic violence.

The ENTF has ramped up its emphasis on combatting the heroin problem on the Eastside over the past several years, seeking out mid- to high-level traffickers of black tar heroin coming out of South America and Mexico.

There is also a push from law enforcement to see more deal-ers and traffickers charged with controlled substance homicides related to fatal overdoses of heroin, Bryant said, of which he added there have been at least eight in Bellevue over the past several years.

According to a 2013 report on drug abuse trends in King County by the University of Washington Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute, heroin-involved deaths increased from 49 in 2009 to 99 in 2013.

What’s most frightening for the Bellevue Police captain is how quickly heroin is growing in popu-larity among teens.

Young adults were the largest age group seeking treatment for heroin addiction in 2013, ac-cording to the ADIA report, and heroin-involved deaths by those under 30 years old increased from seven in 2009 to 34 in 2013.

“Heroin is very accessible in the high schools,” Bryant said, “and I don’t think there’s a high school out there that is immune to it because it’s so prevalent.”

“What’s going on on the Eastside with young people,” said Johnson, “there will be demand

for more (heroin).”Just as high school cliques exist,

dividing likeminded teens into various social groups, Peterson said heroin users become part of a subculture, bonded by addiction.

“They wind up in families of their own,” he said.

While law enforcement contin-ues to target the sources of heroin around King County, Johnson said Therapeutic Health Services is working to reduce the time required to dispense methadone. THS is also adding primary care physicians at its facilities — Capi-tol Hill, followed by Bellevue and then Everett — to provide preven-tative care for those in treatment to reduce the physical symptoms that come with getting clean.

THS is now requesting qualifi-cations from contractors to begin construction of a new methadone clinic in Snohomish County, Johnson said.

Jim Vollendroff, director for the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Division of the King Coun-ty Department of Community and Human Services, said Evergreen Treatment Services is working hard to handle treatment demands in south King County.

With the expansion of Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act, Vollendroff said his agency will continue to add to its network of drug treatment providers, such as THS and ETS, as the demand increases.

— again — the council does not take lightly,” said City Manager Brad Miyake on Tuesday.

Staff proposes funding priorities for the enhanced revenue to include completing one side of sidewalk on Newport Way at $7 million, $5 million for a downtown transporta-tion plan and access improvements to the Northeast Sixth Station, $2 million to design Phase 2 of the West Lake Sammamish Parkway and $8.5 million for an opportunity fund that the City Council would decide on.

There is also another $2.5 million in enhanced revenue proposed for Community Connectivity, the city’s effort to expand Wi-Fi access to underserved parts of Bellevue by leveraging its own fiber network.

There are $1.2 billion in identi-fied capital improvement needs, which led the city council to direct staff to begin exploring the poten-tial for a ballot measure next year for additional funding and other revenue options.

The biennium budget also includes three projects identified by the Bellevue Fire Department as top priorities in its facilities plan, including $12 million to replace the 47-year-old Fire Station No. 5 in Clyde Hill, $7.25 million to acquire property downtown for a future fire station and $5 million to improve the city’s public safety training center.

No. As a matter of fact, we call it a community center that’s dedicated to health. We call it a shopping mall for gifts that bring some much-needed cheer. We call it a school where you can learn about what ails you and how to avoid it in the first place. We call it a peaceful place for healing where the best minds in medicine come together as one. We call it a no-wait emergency room, a family-friendly primary-care clinic, an advanced lab and diagnostic imaging center, and a home to dozens of expert specialists. We call this place Swedish Issaquah. We think you’ll call it extraordinary.

You call this a hospital?
