The Newcastle Historical Society, which this week will celebrate its annual Newcastle Days, was recently

awarded a grant to preserve the small cem-etery plot, buried with the coal miners and pioneer families that years ago called the Eastside home.

� e 2.2 acres to the west of Lake Boren was � rst set aside in 1880. Now owned by the city of Newcastle, the gravestones have been overgrown, vandalized and mostly for-gotten. But as one of the last remnants of the once thriving Newcastle coal mining town, some neighbors are trying to change that.

“� ere are just some incredible stories in that cemetery,” says Vickie Olson, a descen-dent of the locally famous Baima family. Olson plans to hold tours of the cemetery during Newcastle Days.

She also is asking neighbors to come forward if they have stories to share them-selves, or may know more about the plot’s

Preserving a forgotten past

BY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER

� e Bellevue City Council has admit-ted to a sloppy selection process and possible con� icts of interest on the East Link Citizen Advisory Commit-tee (CAC), appointed unanimously last month. A well attended council meeting Tuesday night opened with comments from a number of concerned neighbors who outlined their apprehensions about the lack of neighborhood representa-tion and the appointment of at least two individuals thought to pose partiality.

“I have to say some criticism is justi� ed,” said Mayor Conrad Lee a� er a string of neighbor testimony. “We probably didn’t do as good of a job as we should have…� ere’s an opportunity to make the proper adjustments and cor-rections and we of course will.”

Sixty people applied to be on the committee, of which nine were selected. � ey are intended to represent a range of experience as engineers, property owners, urban planners, business own-ers and artists. Approved at the Aug. 5 meeting were Erin Derrington, Clay Wallace, Richard Line, Don Miles, Ming-Fang Chang, Susan Rakow An-derson, Marcelle Lynde, Joel Glass and Doug Mathews, though as councilmem-ber Kevin Wallace noted, the agenda item was voted on only at the last minute, during the � nal council meeting of the summer.

“Regardless of the cause, the impor-tant thing is to correct this situation in an open, transparent manner that is sensitive to the two people who – through no fault of their own – were

Kirk Johnson, chief curator and vice presi-dent of research and collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, has been appointed the Sant Director of the National Museum of Natural History, e� ective Oct. 29.

Johnson grew up in Bellevue and his fa-ther is a psychiatrist and long time Bellevue resident.

As a vice president of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Johnson is part of a team that leads the museum and manages its $40 million annual budget. � e museum, which receives 1.4 million visitors per year and has a sta� of 400, launched a $170 million capital campaign in 2005.

“Kirk brings an established national and international reputation as a top scientist, educator and museum administrator to the National Museum of Natural His-tory,” said Wayne Clough, Secretary of the Smithsonian. “He is a perfect match to lead the museum—among the very best in the world—into the next decade.”

Johnson succeeds Cristián Samper, who is leaving the Smithsonian to become presi-dent and CEO of the Wildlife Conservation Society headquartered in New York City.

Johnson will oversee more than 460 employees, an annual federal budget of $68 million and a collection of more than 126 million specimens and artifacts — the largest collection at the Smithsonian. � e Natural History Museum hosts an average of 7 mil-lion visitors a year. Its scientists publish about 500 scienti� c research contributions a year.

“With his extensive experience in research, collections and use of social media for public outreach, Kirk will greatly enhance all we do at the National Museum of Natural History,” said Eva J. Pell, Smith-sonian Under Secretary for Science. “I look forward to working with him.”

Johnson has a bachelor’s degree in geol-ogy and � ne arts from Amherst College, a master’s degree in geology and paleobotany from the University of Pennsylvania and a

doctorate in geology and paleobotany from Yale University.

“Natural history mu-seums are incredible places where people have the oppor-tunity to interact with scientists, scienti� c discovery

and to experience the wonders of the world,” said Johnson. “As a scientist and a communicator, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead the nation’s natural his-tory museum into the 21st century.”

As chief curator at the Denver museum, Johnson oversees a 70-person research and collections division (including curators, registrars, librarians, archivists, conserva-tors, technicians, administrators and assis-tants) and manages its $3.5 million annual budget. He is responsible for the museum’s 24 collections, and he led the completion of the museum’s � rst comprehensive long-term collections and research plan. He has served as a curator of paleontology since he joined the museum in 1991.

Johnson’s research includes the study of the geology and fossil plants of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains from 34 million to 145 million years ago. He also studies the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary extinction event and the origin of major ecological communities known as biomes. Between October 2010 and July 2011, he led an excavation in Snowmass Village, Colo., that recovered more than 5,400 bones of mammoths, mastodons and other ice age animals.

� e students in Rob Turner’s Estuaries In Trouble summer course probably had no idea their classroom would take the shape of a � oating garbage patrol on the Sam-mamish Slough. But Turner said the best way to learn is by doing.

“I want the students to understand how pollutants from the land around the Puget Sound are causing its degradation,” said Turner, who teaches at UW Bothell.

� e slough runs from Lake Sammamish, which borders Bellevue, through Redmond and Bothell.

Turner found a hands-on learning op-portunity through a community partner-ship with Puget Soundkeeper Alliance. � eir mission is to protect and preserve the waters of Puget Sound by monitoring, cleaning up and preventing pollutants from entering its waters.

On Friday, Aug. 9, class was in session at the Park at Bothell Landing. A local kayak-ing company out� tted the students and taught basic river safety and Puget Sound-keeper Alliance explained the morning’s river mission as students were armed with nets and monitoring devices.

Mycole Brown, a biology major said he expected to � nd plastic, oil, and knowledge.

“I hope to gain a better understanding of the health of rivers and of the various instruments we use," he said.

Turner says he wants this experience to have a long lasting impact on the students and the environment.

“I hope the students will be jazzed at doing this type of citizen science that can

have an impact on the quality of the water,” he said.

He added that he also hopes the students will volunteer again. And Puget Sound-keeper Alliance could use the help. � e Sammamish River is sixth in their clean-up quest of 12 Rivers in 12 Months.

Haley Duke, a senior majoring in environmental studies, said this � rst-hand experience won’t be her last and she issued an invitation.

“I hope to help today and I encourage ev-erybody in the community to do this work.”

The SeaTac minimum wage initiative is in limbo. � e central element of that city’s Proposition 1 is a

$15 per hour minimum wage for workers at SeaTac Airport and area hotels, restaurants and car rental agencies. But, it also includes a complex web of employee work rules

enforced by the city of SeaTac. On Aug. 26, a King County Superior

Court judge ruled that Prop 1 did not have enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Proponents have gath-ered additional signatures and appealed the judge’s ruling.

Regardless of what happens in SeaTac, the issue of a higher minimum wage will come before voters. � e Service Em-ployees International Union (SEIU) is organizing protests by fast food workers and others here and across the nation,

demanding a $15 hourly minimum wage. Because of that, it’s important to understand the conse-

quences — intended and unintended — of such measures. Although Washington has the highest minimum wage in

the nation — $9.19 per hour indexed to in� ation — sup-porters say it’s not enough. In addition to a $15 hourly wage, Prop 1 speci� es worker retention procedures and details the conditions under which employees can take sick leave. Opponents say it’s tantamount to a union contract enforced by the city.

Ironically, the initiative can be waived in union contracts, even if the union jobs pay less than $15 per hour. � is would have had the e� ect of pressuring employers to agree to union contracts to avoid its provisions — although support-ers aren’t publicizing that point.

Another problem with Prop 1 is that 90 percent of the

workers it bene� ts live outside the city of SeaTac, yet city taxpayers are on the hook for enforcement costs. In ad-dition, Prop 1 is unfair. It would establish a two-tier wage structure in which some employees earn 63 percent more than others doing the same work.

Of course, we would all like people to have better jobs and more money, but this isn’t the way to do it.

Historically, minimum wage jobs have been the � rst rung on the ladder for millions of young people entering the job market — a place to learn work skills and gain experience. Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be a career, but rather the beginning of a career path.

For example, Scott Ostrander started as a bellman, carry-ing guests’ luggage for $2.13 per hour and tips. Today, he’s general manager of the Cedarbrook Lodge, one of the hotels targeted by the initiative.

Washington is already a high-cost state for employers, with the nation’s highest workers’ comp bene� ts and � � h-highest unemployment insurance bene� ts. When you add to those costs, something has to give. In this case, it’s jobs.

A study by the Washington Research Council (WRC) estimates that increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour will eliminate 5 to 10 percent of those jobs. In the end, you might have higher paying jobs, but fewer of them.Is that what we want?

In addition, the research council says the initiative would push out many workers as more quali� ed applicants, at-tracted by the higher wages, � ood into SeaTac to take those jobs.

So, if not Proposition 1, what? In the short term, all minimum wage workers should

be informed about the federal Earned Income Tax Credit,

I observed my birthday in August. ‘Observed’ as opposed to ‘celebrated.’ I stopped celebrating at 60. In contrast to the kind of celebrations birthdays dictate at age 21, at a certain

point they call for less concern over parties and gi� s and more time spent in re� ection.

My re� ections began with asking myself what I did last year. Also, do I remember what I did? Did I accomplish anything? Taking a longer look back, are there dreams I’ve stored up waiting for the right time to pursue – a bucket list of sorts?

What came to mind on this birthday is time and the apparent supersonic speed at which it passes. I’ve read that one reason for our perception that time goes faster as we get older is that we have our regular

routines and few surprises to interrupt them. Unlike teenag-ers, for whom time creeps, we generally know what to expect from life and our routines create the impression that time is racing by. What also creates that perception is that it is racing by.

I like what I did this year, because I was creative, traveled, exercised regularly, made new friends, and still kept up with most of the old ones.

My bucket list is short – � nish my book and start another, do a little traveling, keep healthy, keep laughing, be open to new adventures, don’t let go of friends, try to accept what comes with grace.

I subscribe to the To Do Institute’s newsletter, “� irty � ousand Days,” (the number represents an eighty-two-year life span). In the latest issue I read that “nearly every type of psychological disorder is characterized by a heightened degree of self-focused attention.”

� e newsletter’s advice to counteract this obsession with ourselves is to write haiku. As you prepare to write one of these 17-syllable poems, “you are looking at clouds, � owers, insects, dogs, and other people,” and you’re “giving attention to the world around you,” and not just to yourself. Good advice for all of us.

Despite its bene� ts, I’m not sure haiku is for me. I routinely violate my 300-word maximum for this column. Imagine me trying to capture something in seventeen syllables.

A friend of mine still teases me about the time we met for co� ee about a year before I le� work and I expressed the fear that if I retired I might lose my identity, as closely tied to my work as it seemed to be. I’ve learned since then that, thankful-ly, my identity is not the same thing as my work and it’s pretty hard to lose. As the saying goes, “We take ourselves with us wherever we go.”

which provides up to $6,044 per year for low-income working families. For the lowest level workers, that’s equivalent to a $3 per hour wage hike.

� e long-term solution is economic growth. As the econ-omy expands, more jobs are created and employers compete for workers with higher salaries and better bene� ts. Trying to arti� cially impose higher wages will slow job creation — the opposite of what we need and want.

When Calvin Wang of Bellevue heads out to give a senior citizen a ride to a doctor's o� ce or dental clinic, he makes sure he has a Sudoku book in hand. � e 9x9 number puzzle helps him pass the time in his role as a driver for Senior Services's volunteer transfer program.

“It teaches you how to use your think-ing cap, Wang said, who has helped at the organization since 2009. "It’s all about logic.”

� at's paid dividends to his passengers over the years.

Once, as Wang drove a woman who was very unsteady with her cane, he no-

ticed that she wobbled and as she moved. Ever the problem-solver, he introduced the concept of the quad cane to her.

A quad cane, he ex-plained, is a four-footed cane that o� ers four points of contact with the ground instead of

just one. It provides much more support and stability than traditional canes. On his next trip with the woman, Wang was happy to see the same frail client using a four-pronged cane. She had taken his

advice and reported a newfound sense of steadiness and ease as she walked.

On several other occasions, Calvin observed a problem with clients using walkers. As they attempted to go through doorways (especially those in their homes), they had to awkwardly turn their walkers sideways because they were just a tad bit too wide to � t.

� e problem made simple tasks, like getting to the bathroom, challenging. Wang soon discovered that the front wheels on walkers are traditionally on the apparatus’s outside poles. However, they easily can be removed with a push/pull

button and switched to the inside poles, taking away about 1.5 inches from the total width. With this quick � x, clients were able to go in and out of doorways without any trouble.

Calvin believes he has completed this outside-to-inside wheel swap on about four walkers.

“I just do whatever I can to help out,” Wang said.

More information about the volunteer transfer program is available at www.seniorservices.org/transportation, at [email protected], or by calling 206-748-7588.

New app hopes to help people find their ‘Scene’BY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER

You may have heard the statement before: "Tweet it on Twitter, post it on Facebook – and take a picture on Insta-gram."

But if Bellevue resident Julius Javier, 29, has anything to say about it, you might want to add another line: "see it on HourScene."

� at's the new "social discovery" application Javier and his team have been working on over the past few months – and it might just be the next big thing in social networking.

� e app allows users to rediscover social networking as it was intended to be – for the public by the public.

"We want people that are currently posting things in private to share things that are cool and interesting with the public," Javier said.

When users login to HourScene they can discover public Scenes that are posted on the hour on their favorite social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by searching keywords or hashtag.

"I wanted to create an app where people can search all the hashtags they see in one place," Javier said. “It’s easy to search for hashtags, events, sports, news, trends, deals, anything to discover your Scene."

Users who download the free app can also share their discovered Scenes with others and view what Scenes are trending on the hour, as well as view public Scenes across the world with the map view.

Javier � rst came up with the idea for HourScene about a year ago while working on another app called Mega Bite. When he realized the market for app.-based food ordering was over-saturated, he decided to abandon the project and focus on HourScene.

"I wanted to show people that social media is about more than being private," said Javier, who also works as a support engineer for an e-commerce company on the Eastside.

HourScene came to be because of a small, but e� ective team that includes two remote developers, Javier's girl-friend (who deals with the legal side of the business).

"We're kind of keeping it in the family," Javier said. His cousin recently joined the team to work with ad-

vertisers and help develop the "Featured Scenes" tool they intend to launch next month.

� e tool, which is expected to launch next month will al-low companies to sponsor individual hashtags. When users see sponsored Featured Scenes that they like, they can save them and redeem them later or share them with the world; businesses will be charged per click.

Javier said they plan to reach out to local business for the "featured Scenes" section before growing their network.

Javier said one of the biggest hurdles in developing

HourScene was choosing the right color of purple for the app because di� erent screens show the color in di� erent ways. � ey chose purple because it stood out from the other colors associated with existing social media apps.

"Me and my girlfriend probably went through 200 di� er-ent variations of purple."

� e other challenge? Getting the word out. "You could have a great app, but if you don't market it

properly, no one will know about it." � at's why they'll be taking the app on the road, to the

Las Vegas Foodie Festival next April, where they hope to share HourScene with a new audience.

Javier said he plans on developing other applications in the future, but for now, HourScene is his passion.

"I really like social networking and I wish people would post stu� more publicly."

HourScene is available to iPhone users for free now. Javier and his team hope to roll out a new version for Android and Windows in the next few months. Ultimately, they hope to launch HourScene worldwide.

� e HourScene app is developed by Dynamic Intel Group, LLC, a mobile application company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bellevue. For more informa-tion, go to hourscene.com.

wrongly appointed to the CAC,” said Renay Bennett, a resident and president of the Bel-Crest Community Association, during public comment Tuesday night. “Failure to abide by the city’s adopted codes will erode the public’s con�dence and trust.”

Of the nine selected, only one lived or worked within a two mile “vicinity” of the alignment, said Bennett. But residents were most worried about two immediate con�icts of interest, an individual with past work ex-perience with Sound Transit and a property owner immediately abutting the light rail line.

“I think there are some good people [on the list],” said Bennett, who was quick to point out that while there were evident con-�icts of interest, she didn’t think it was the fault of applicants. “But there are people on there with a clear agenda toward transit oriented develop-ment…and it’s pretty worrisome that all along the transit alignment there are no neighborhood folks.”

�e CAC is intended to represent the interests of the city, community and neigh-borhoods impacted by East Link during the

permit review process. Logistics like station location and project alignment don’t fall un-der that umbrella of responsibility, said Mike Brennan director of the Development Ser-

vices department for the city of Bellevue, though the hope is that the CAC will serve as “the eyes of the public” and ensure that design is context sensitive.

But some neigh-bors complained of

a vague set of criteria that stated only that individuals have a breadth of experience and live within the city limits. Property owners living near the alignment were particularly encouraged, though those immediately abutting it were told not to apply because of a possible conflict of interest. For that reason the appointment of Clay Wallace whose home address is listed along 112th, raised eyebrows. Others suggested that there may be additional conflicts of interest.

Applications opened in June and the deadline was extended through the end of the month.

“Having been involved in big projects be-fore – even light rail projects – there’s always a lot of confusion and a lack of clarity some-times for the community,” explained Susan Rakow Anderson, who said she’d retired shortly before the CAC applications opened and noted that it was her husband who pointed out the announcement in the paper and suggested she apply with her quali�ca-tions. A retired civil engineer her past work includes serving as the project manager for BergerABAM, which was selected as the primary consultant by Sound Transit to lead civil and structural design of the Mount Baker station and other corridors along ST’s Central Link alignment.

“I’m hoping this is an opportunity to clarify what the design does…It should be a tremendous opportunity,” she added.

Anderson said she o�ers an objective voice: “I’m in a di�erent role, rather than working directly for Sound Transit, I’m on the other side working for the city to ensure that Sound Transit designers do the right thing and understand the process.”

As the meeting came to a close, the council passed a motion to reevaluate the CAC appointees, agreeing that some valid concerns had been raised.

“�is was served in the last meeting of the summer,” said councilmember Wallace. “We didn’t think through the appointments…as it turns out, in addition to the con�icts of interest, the [CAC] is devoid of representa-tion of any community leaders from Surrey Downs, Enatai or Lake Bellevue and I think these communities are bearing the brunt of the project.”

Councilmember Don Davidson said he had a map of appointees’ home addresses and would hang it in the Council Chambers for review.

Based on Tuesday’s conversation, changes would likely be modest, said Brennan and applicants would be pulled from the current pool. �e council indicated that it would move quickly to ensure that a selection was made in time to impact the permit review process. Brennan explained that because of the volume of applications and the limited time before break, appointments had been made based on information available in the applications, with the intent of further vet-ting them a�er the fact.

“[On Tuesday] the city council restated its desire to give people who are impacted by the project an opportunity to weigh in either through appointment of the CAC or through other means,” said Brennan. “We’re going to work very hard to ensure that direction is brought to reality.”

Seven days a week, 50 weeks a year there is a continuous cycle of intake and out� ow at Issaquah's Eastside Baby Corner. � e nonpro� t takes in and gives out everything a child needs from birth to 12-years-old.

"Our job is to remove barriers that al-lows parents to get back on their feet," said Helen Banks Routon, director of develop-ment and community relations for the nonpro� t organization.

Every � ursday morning, more than 50

groups that help parents and kids arrive to pick up customized orders for families in need.

Eastside Baby Corner doesn't work directly with families. Rather it works with providers that include social workers, women's shelters, school districts and vari-ous service organizations. � e providers let them know what a family needs, and East-side Baby Corner puts the orders together.

sort through donated items and place the new or gently used items in various bins – clothing, toys, shoes or hard goods. Clothing is separated by size and gender.

While many items are donated by the public, Eastside Baby Corner does pur-chase food, formula, diapers, car seats, socks, underwear and porta-cribs be-cause they are things that are absolutely needed for a new baby coming home for the � rst time.

Formula for babies is a must, and at $16 for a can of Similac that lasts three days, the cost adds up fast, she said. Dia-pers are the biggest need. Eastside Baby Corner has increased its distribution of diapers more than 50 percent from the same time period, January to August, over last year. Food stamps or WIC (Women, Infants and Children Food and Nutrition Service) cannot be used for diapers.

EBC also assembles and distributes about 800 layette sets a year and distrib-utes cases of food and formula are dis-tributed to 11 di� erent food banks from Issaquah to Carnation.

� ere are about 50 "core" volunteers who come in on a weekly basis, along with others who help out less o� en.� ere are countless jobs for the volunteers to take care of. Volunteer Ali Haywood, who has an 18-month-old son, recently spent hours putting together backpacks with school supplies. Retired engineers and construction workers spend time repairing donated bicycles, strollers and car seats to make sure they are safe. New blankets and quilts are handmade by or-ganizations such as the Issaquah Quilters,

Eastside cra� ers, Stitches from the Heart, the Needle Brigade and Girl Scouts.

� e organization never has enough pants, especially for boys. Sizes 5 and up are welcome, but boys pants size 10 to 14 are especially needed.

"We run a permanent shortage of clothes for boys," Banks Routon said. "Boys are hard on clothes."

� en there are toys that come in and need a little repair. Girls can be rough on dolls, ratting their hair, marking them up with sharpies so volunteers refurbish the dolls, washing and � xing the hair and cleaning them up, putting new clothes on them then wrapping them in cellophane so they look brand new.

Brand new toys that are donated are set aside for birthday presents for children who otherwise would not have anything

for their birthday.Banks Routon said sometimes they are

just supplementing families, where both parents work, but are paid minimum wage, or one has lost a job.

"A car breaking down, a death in the family or health issues can put a family right on the edge," she said.

unmarked graves.“Back in those days a lot of people

didn’t have the resources to put in a permanent marker. � ey maybe put up a wooden marker or a ring of stones around the grave site. We don’t really have good records,” says Olson. “� at was before Washington was a state…� e whole point, the thrust of this really is to get the word out.”

Olson also has been weekly record-ing and interviewing talks with Milt Swanson, who at 95 is the last living artifact of the Eastside’s coal mining days. Swanson worked alongside his father and cousin as a machinist for B&R Coal, one of several companies that operated out of the region.

It’s all part of the Newcastle Historical Society’s e� orts to memorialize a sliver of the city and the greater Eastside’s past.

Olson says that the $9,500 from the awarded grant from arts organization 4Culture, will � rst go toward a survey of the cemetery, to assess what preserva-tion is possible. She asks that anyone with information either contact her directly or reach out to her during New-castle Days, Saturday Sept. 7.

Eiji Minami, MD, a surgeon at Over-lake Medical Center, performed his 100th da Vinci Single-Site Cholecystectomy on � ursday, July 25. � e patient’s gallbladder was removed through one tiny incision in the belly button, making the procedure virtually scarless.

Gallbladder removal is known as a cholecystectomy and can be performed us-ing open surgery through a large incision, minimally invasively through a few small incisions or through one small incision in the belly button. � e Food and Drug Administration cleared the specialized Single-Site instruments for use with the da Vinci System in December 2011. da Vinci is a robotic surgical system widely used in complex minimally invasive surgery.

Minami was trained on the da Vinci Surgical System in December 2011 and at-tended further advanced Single-Site train-ing in May, 2012. He was one of the � rst surgeons in the area to o� er laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the 1990s.

"Neither robotic surgery nor single-incision surgery is new, but combining the two to remove the gallbladder requires additional training and special equipment," said Helene Schultz, Overlake’s director of surgery. "To be one of the most experienced hospitals to o� er this technically advanced surgery demonstrates Overlake’s leadership in providing patients with the most up-to-date minimally invasive surgical options."

Potential bene� ts of single-site gallblad-der surgery may include virtually scarless results, minimal pain, low blood loss, fast recovery, a short hospital stay and high patient satisfaction.

� e surgery can be performed in about one hour with a typical hospital stay of less than 24 hours.

Overlake Medical Center o� ers vari-ous types of robotic-assisted surgeries. In addition to gallbladder removal, Overlake surgeons perform robotic-assisted surgery in colorectal, urology, general surgery, gynecology and weight loss surgery.

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in sports and recreation

Master Sanghoon Park and Kukki employee Mia Seul put together a fundraiser for Williams. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter

For a youngster as active as Chad Williams, a few bumps and bruises were nothing new.

When he began complaining about soreness in his feet and back, his parents chalked it up to raucous games of � ag football and basketball or one of his sessions at Kukki Tae Kwon Do, where he had already earned a black belt. � ey took him to see a doctor when he continued to display � u-like symptoms in the following weeks and months, but were told it was likely nothing more than a virus. But when his mother Cindy saw her usually exuberant son stop short of the kitchen one morning on his way to breakfast, she knew something was amiss.

“I just happened to put my hand on his leg to talk to him and he was so hot,” she said. “� ey thought maybe he had strep throat or something else that wasn’t showing other symptoms.”

� e visit included a blood draw, mostly precautionary they thought, and two days later revealed a possibility any parent would shudder at the thought of.

“� ey told us to pack a bag and get to Children’s Hospi-tal right away,” Williams said. “� ey said Chad might have Leukemia.”

For the Williams family, the following weeks and months were a blur of medical appointments, visits with specialists at Children’s and coordinating schedules to � t in treat-ments that have already included spinal taps, a chest board

and more needle pokes than any of them care to remember.“I was in shock for a couple of months,” Williams said. “I

couldn’t tell you a word they said.”As the initial impact of the news began to wane, the

family centered its focus on the future and how they would continue to provide some semblance of normalcy for their young son, who now faced the grim realities of chemo-therapy, time away from school and isolation from friends. When his blood counts climb high enough, Chad is able to swim at one of several community pools in the neighbor-hood where family friends have provided access. But the previous activities he loved so much: football, basketball, Tae Kwon Do, were only a distant memory.

Lending a fistTae Kwon Do fundraiser helps student diagnosed with Leukemia Newport senior wins martial arts

Bellevue, Interlake crack first top-10

� e 2013 prep football season kicks o� tonight at � elds around the state and a pair of teams from the area are look-ing to get back to the state tournament.

Bellevue, winners of the past � ve 3A state titles, will open the season Saturday at renovated Husky Stadium against the two-time defending 4A state champs from Sky-line in the 7 p.m. � nale of the Emerald City Kicko� Classic.

� e two did not meet last year as Bellevue made another undefeated run to the state championship and last played in 2011, a 31-17 Bellevue win at Skyline.

� e Spartans were also the last team to hand Bellevue a defeat, winning 28-21 in 2010.

Newport begins life a� er two-way superstar Isaac Dot-son with a trip to Olympia to face Capital.

� e Knights, which made the � rst round of the state tournament last year before falling 41-14 to Mead, lost 29-22 to Capital last season.

Sammamish and head coach Brian Tucci hope to get back in the win column a� er going winless last season and open in Duvall against 2A Cedarcrest.

� e Red Wolves won 41-28 at Sammamish to open last season.

Interlake begins the Dave Myers era against 4A Is-saquah, which made the 4A playo� s last year.

� e Saints � nished with a 3-7 record last year, losing 24-13 to the Eagles in the season opener.

Prep football season kicks off tonight As word spread in the

community about Chad’s diagnosis and obvious � nancial implications sur-rounding medical costs, friends began circulat-ing cards at churches and places where the family had ties as a show of support and to raise any funds they could to assist. When Mas-ter Park and fellow Kukki Tae Kwon Do employee Mia Seul heard about the family’s situation, they decided to help in the only way they knew how: break-ing boards.

Park invited all of his own students as well as others in the community to come break a board at Kukki with proceeds raised going to help the Williams family with expenses. Nearly 50 students and their families showed up to break a board for a cause and Park said they were able to raise around $1,200 to donate.

“Our students and us, the relationship is like family,” Seul said.

When Cindy Williams heard of the fundraiser, the emotion overcame her.

“I was in tears,” she said. “It’s just a beautiful gesture.”

Other friends have worked with the local Eagles to host a spaghetti feed and Williams said the outpouring of support has been overwhelming.

Chad’s Scout troop secured an iPad to use during long waits at appointments and Woodridge School set up an account for the family on Caring Bridge, a website devoted to facilitating the support process. Still more friends have organized the neighborhood through a Take� emAMeal.com, which has allowed those in the community to coordi-nate on providing meals. With a three-year chemo-therapy treatment plan ahead of him, the family is taking nothing for granted.

“We’re accepting all the well-wishes,” Cindy said. “We don’t know where we will be in three years.”

Frances BurdOctober 19, 1921 - August 23, 2013

Frances S. Burd passed away peacefully on August 23, 2013 in Yakima, Washington, with her three daughters by her side. She was born Frances Jeanne Stickles on October 19, 1921, and lived in southern California during her childhood and early adult years. After marrying Sherman K. Burd, she moved to the Paci�c NW where she graduated from the University of Washington. She and Sherm spent nearly all of their 72 years

of married life in the house they purchased in Bellevue in 1948. Sherm preceded her in death last December. Her sharp memory of people, events and connections was her strong suit making this big world a little smaller. Frances had a gift for nurturing things and watching them grow. She accomplished this with her beautiful yard, her garden, and especially her girls Janice Kay (Jon), Nancy Rae (Geo�) and Stephanie Jeanne (Steve). Besides her daughters she is survived by her loving grandsons Andrew Conrad (Melissa), Benjamin Conrad (Melissa), Ian Mallahan, Peter Weise (Jessica), and Joel Weise.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 14, at 11:00 am at the Lodge at Beaver Lake, 25101 SE 24th St, Sammamish, WA.

Frances and Sherm dedicated themselves to maintaining and improving their south Bellevue neighborhood so that it would remain the family-friendly place their girls enjoyed when they were growing up.

Every freshman at Sammamish High School will go home this fall with a new tool to help get their high school educa-tion o� to a great start – a new laptop to use in class and take home with them.

� e Bellevue School District is launch-ing a One-to-One Laptop pilot program for Sammamish ninth grade students.Approximately 300 new laptops will be checked out during the � rst weeks of school.� e goal of the pilot program is to provide a laptop for every incoming SHS freshman in order to support deeper stu-dent engagement and increase students’ ability to actively engage in problem-based learning.

School o� cials said Sammamish is an ideal location for the pilot program.As freshmen, Sammamish students take four yearlong courses:Honors Freshman

Composition and Literature, AP Hu-man Geography, Biology/Chemistry and Math.All courses are seen as demanding the regular use of technology to col-laborate, communicate and develop high quality student work.

At the same time, Sammamish teach-ers are working to transform courses to incorporate problem-based learning (PBL), which engages students and teach-ers in high-level projects and problems. � e concept is based on the idea that real learning only happens when students are confronted with a problem that needs to be solved.

In order to � nd problems for courses, the Sammamish sta� has increased ties to the professional community to � nd problems that are being solved in the real world. In order to solve these authentic

problems, students work collaboratively with their peers, their teachers and com-munity and industry professionals. Com-puter technology is part of the work.

Individual laptops also allow for in-struction tailored to meet an individual student’s needs.� ey also provide an op-portunity for continuous assessment, as well as anywhere, anytime access for both students and parents, school o� cials add.

“We’re thrilled to be taking a lead-ing role in implementing one-to-one technology in Bellevue,” says Sammamish Principal Tom Duenwald.“We believe that all students having access to technol-ogy when they need it is a crucial piece of making sure that our students are college and career ready in the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] areas when they graduate.”

Internet safety and reliability of tech-nology tools are very important to the district. All student laptops are loaded with so� ware to keep the student safe and prevent malicious code from af-fecting them.� e laptops have the same security used on all district computers and prevent students from installing applications and viewing inappropriate internet sites.

� e $500,000 cost of the pilot project is paid for with current technology levy funds.In addition to the laptops, the project also includes professional devel-opment for teachers.If the pilot project is successful, and technology levy funds are available, the program eventually will be expanded to all high schools and middle schools district-wide.

Sammamish students getting laptops to aid studies

King County’s annual summertime project to remove weeds from the Sammamish River’s banks and the riverbed itself helps move wintertime high water out of the lake and down the river in the area known as the “transition zone.”

� e work, which be completed by Sept. 20 and in-cludes mowing and weed removal. Sammamish River Trail cyclists and pedestrians should use caution around work crews and trucks moving along the trail.

Divers are removing the invasive aquatic weed Brazil-ian elodea from the river, starting from Northeast 145th

Street by the Northshore ball� elds in Woodinville and working upstream toward Marymoor Park. � e work is scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through Aug. 15. � is work will bene� t � sh and wildlife habitat and is mitigation for removing sediment from the river.

Crews will also mow the Sammamish River transition zone – a 1,400-foot-long section of the river just down-stream from the outlet of Lake Sammamish and adjacent Marymoor Park’s o� -leash dog area. Crews will remove invasive reed canary grass and associated sediment from the upstream half of the transition zone.

� is work will be completed on a Monday-through-

� ursday schedule between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

� e Redmond bike trail will be closed to bike and foot tra� c for approximately 1,700 feet along West Lake Sammamish Parkway – from Northeast 51st Street to Northeast Marymoor Way. Cyclists will be detoured to existing bike lanes along West Lake Sammamish Parkway. Pedestrians will be detoured to the west side of West Lake Sammamish Parkway using crosswalks at Northeast 51st Street and Northeast Marymoor Way.

Heritage CornerA look at Bellevue’s past

Bellevue’s Coal Creek Park

Bellevue’s Coal Creek Park borders the Cougar Mountain Wildlife Park in King County. Coal Creek is the city of Bellevue’s largest natural resource park and was once the site of a thriving mining town. � ere are still mine sha� s, exposed coal streams and mining equip-ment visible in the park as well as building remnants from di� erent buildings and mine operations in the town – the hotel, a coal bunker, the wood � ume, which directed Coal Creek, and a railroad turntable foundation.

� e � rst settlement, Old Newcastle, was located near today’s 136th Avenue South-east, just west of the golf course. By 1890 there were approximately 500 residents. By 1920 population was close to 1,000.

In 1863, a survey party led by Edwin Richardson dis-covered eight bands of "stone cole" while working up a

stream from Lake Wash-ington. Hundreds of people soon � ocked to the region intent on earning a living as coal miners.

When the last mines closed in 1963, over 11 mil-lion tons of coal had been extracted. Coal was King County’s � rst large industry, helping Seattle become a major port city, as it shipped coal to San Francisco from 1870 to 1930.

Today the park o� ers lots

of great hiking trails, easy access to Cougar Mountain and by the end of 2013, seven new interpretive signs, thanks to 4-Culture and the Eastside Heritage Center.

Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. To learn more about Bellevue and Eastside history contact the Eastside Heritage Center at 425-450-1049 or visit East-sideHeritageCenter.org.

It is back-to-school time, and if your stu-dent’s summer has been � lled with trips to the pool, hanging out with friends, television and video games, and other leisurely activities, now is the time to transition from summer to school mode.

“We always encourage families to relax and enjoy the less structured pace of sum-mertime,” says Brian Riddick of the Bellevue Huntington Learning Center. “However, there are several things you can do toward the end of summer break that are immensely helpful in getting students ready to return to the classroom.”

Riddick o� ers these six back-to-school tips:1. Set goals. Goal-setting is a great way to

help your child re� ect on last school year and think ahead about what he or she wants to ac-complish and avoid this year. Talk with your child about the things he or she is excited and anxious about and have him or her set several goals and measurable milestones. You can do this just before classes start or during the � rst week of school.

2. Organize the desk and home. Get your house back into “school shape” by designating spots for important school papers that come home, a family calendar, backpacks, shoes and jackets, and a homework station. Your child’s homework station could be a desk in a bedroom or other room. Make sure it is stocked with the supplies he or she will need for the school year, and have your child help get the space ready.

3. Reestablish a schedule. Talk with your child about the school-day routine, including wake-up time, school hours, homework time, dinner time and any extracurricular activities in which he or she will participate during the week. In the week or two before school, try to have your child go to bed and wake up at approximately the same times as during the school year.

4. Review school work and information. Being prepared will help your child ease into the � rst weeks of school. Review assignments, spelling words and other work from the pre-vious school year. Amp up the reading these � nal few weeks of summer. And � nd out as much as possible about what is to come: your child’s teacher, class schedule, classroom loca-tions and more.

5. Set a positive tone. A child who struggled last year might dread going back to school, so it is important to help him or her get into the right mindset for school suc-cess. Let your child know that you are there to support him or her no matter what. Talk about things he or she is looking forward to this year – and o� er ideas if he or she needs some encouragement – and point out some of the good parts of last year. Be optimistic and encourage your child to embrace the same outlook.

6. Arrange for tutoring help if needed. More information about the Bellevue cen-

ter is available at 425-643-9938 or via email at [email protected].

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home For Sale

Bellevue - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short ofrequirements during a home inspection. If not identi�ed and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector �ags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-866-252-2302 and enter 7425.You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.
