Washington Rep. Cyrus Habib lost his sight when he was eight years old while attending Somerset Elementary in Bellevue. As a child, he said he wanted to play on the jungle gym as much as any 8-year-old.

"� ey kept me by the side of the school with the recess lady and the teachers while the rest of the kids played," he said during Tuesday's Rotary Club of Bellevue luncheon at

Bellevue's Downtown Park. Habib's mom took him to the principal, where she told the administrator she would teach him how to navigate the play-ground. "She said, 'I can � x a broken arm. I can never � x a broken spirit.' "

� e occasion at the park was to cel-ebrate the club reaching its Inspiration Playground funding milestone of $1.8 million. A public-private partnership with the city, the rotary club hopes to raise $4.3 million for the outdoor play environment that will be accessible to children and adults of all abilities.

Not only will the park o� er sensory-rich play and equipment that allows children with disabilities to interact with their peers, it will let disabled adults play with their chil-dren and grandchildren, said former

Rotary Club of Bellevue President Rob Rose. Drawing from similar ex-periences volunteering with the club's Nepal Disability Awareness Project, Rose said children with disabilities are initially pitied on the playground.

Mayor Claudia Balducci took o� ense to several Bellevue councilmembers calling the city's 2004 high-water mark "arbitrary" and a "guess" during Monday night's discussion on how to � nalize a shoreline master plan for state review.

City sta� sought input Monday on how to � nalize the shoreline plan, mandated by the state Department of Ecol-ogy, which will ultimately have say in whether it su� cient-ly protects Washington’s shoreline.

Balducci opposed a motion by Councilmember Jennifer Robertson to amend the ordinary high water mark to 31.2 feet for Lake Sammamish, the mean elevation determined under a 2004 study. � e city has been using a standard de-viation of 31.76 feet since 2006, which was meant to ensure at least 95 percent of shoreline properties weren't measur-ing setbacks below the true OHWM.

"It's an actual measurement. It's scienti� c," Balducci said, upset several councilmembers felt the study set an arbitrary high water marker. "Again, I don't think it's the hill we need to die on tonight."


Newport Villas condo owners don't buy the city of Bel-levue's assertion that a 1,000-year � ood event was respon-sible for � ooding in Factoria that damaged their properties Aug. 13.

"We're adamant about the fact that the city of Bellevue is at fault," said Betsi Selset, who has been living on the sec-ond � oor of her condo on Southeast 42nd Street for more than three weeks now. "My oven hadn't even been used and I had mud all the way in my oven, and my dishwasher and my refrigerator."

Contractors are wrap-ping up the � rst stage of the 120th Avenue North-east project, with plans to begin the second stage between Northeast Sev-

enth and 12th streets on Monday.

� e second stage is slat-ed for completion in late 2016, and will widen the existing roadway there to � ve lanes, add bike lanes, a new tra� c signal and sidewalks on both sides of the road. � e project also includes so� soil stabiliza-tion.

� e project will be split into three work zones; Northeast Seventh to Old

Bel-Red Road will take six months to complete; Work zones two and three will be on the east and west side of Old Bel-Red Road to Northeast 12th Street, respectively.

Work will be conducted between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, and from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. at night. Most work at the intersec-tion of Northeast Eighth and 120th will occur at night.

Second stage of 120th Avenue widening project starts Monday


� e Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue announced � urs-day it’s $500,000 closer to constructing a new downtown clubhouse thanks to a pledge from the C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust.

Birkenfeld was a former Bellevue teacher who died in 2005, leaving his estate to be distributed through annual grants to nonpro� ts.

“He was an educator here, and we thought that was a really nice connection with what we’re trying to do here, especially with projects like Project Learn,” said Ryan Scott, chief operations o� cer for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue.

� e $500,000 grant from the trust, managed by � e Seat-tle Foundation, will go toward construction of the down-town clubhouse’s Education Center, which will be named the C. Keith Birkenfeld Learning Center.

Construction of a 21,500-square-foot boys and girls clubs gymnasium continues at the Hidden Valley Sports Park, under a partnership with the city of Bellevue, which will also use the facility for sports events.

� e gym is anticipated to open by January, at which point construction of a new clubhouse north of the gym is expected to ramp up, Scott said. He added the clubhouse to be replaced on 100th Avenue Northeast was built in the 60s and last renovated about 40 years ago.

“We wanted to replace it with a building that is a little bit smarter with a little better design,” Scott said.

� e Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue hopes to complete its $20 million fundraising campaign for the gym and clubhouse in 2015.

“We’ve still got some room to grow. � is is a nice piece of it,” Scott said of the Birkenfeld trust pledge. “We have some funds committed to complete the � rst piece of it.”

� e 100th Avenue Northeast Clubhouse will continue to operate until construction of the new building is completed.

OF NOTE

Republican Pedro Celis needs a spark for his congressional campaign and hopes it will

come from two men who helped a Tea Party-backed candidate unseat U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

Zachary Werrell and Gray Delany were the only paid sta� ers on the campaign team of Republican David Brat, who defeated Cantor in Virginia’s

June primary. It was one of the biggest political upsets in congressional his-tory.

� e Republican strategists aim to generate a similar level of electricity for Celis, who faces long odds in his race

against incumbent Medina Demo-cratic Rep. Suzan DelBene in the 1st Congressional District.

Werrell, who managed Brat’s cam-paign, will have the same role full time for Celis. Delany is the new communi-cations manager.

How this political union came about — did Celis recruit them, did Republican o� cials insist Celis accept them, or some-thing else? — is open to speculation.

“I can’t comment on the circum-stances,” Delany said Tuesday.

� ey signed on a� er Celis’ under-whelming performance in the Aug. 5 primary. � e district has a constitu-ency stretching from the Canadian border to suburbs in east King County.

One of their � rst challenges — and maybe one of the reasons Werrell and Delany are on board — is to shore up Celis’ credibility among conserva-

tive Republicans who view Celis as too moderate and a tool of the party establishment.

Celis made it through the primary on the strength of support from voters in King and Whatcom counties. He � nished fourth in Snohomish and Skagit counties, meaning that he was the third-favorite Republican in those counties.

Werrell and Delany intend to rework the playbook, recasting Celis as a can-didate focused on trimming the federal de� cit, rewriting the federal health care law and tying DelBene to the policies of President Barack Obama.

“Suzan DelBene represents the status quo,” Delany said. “Pedro is an innovator, a breath of fresh air.”

UP for Rotary park project, more ozone to protect us

For the Rotary Club of Bellevue for reaching its funding milestone of $1.8 million for the Inspira-tion Playground at Bellevue’s Downtown Park. � e

park will o� er sensory-rich play and equipment that allows children with disabilities to interact with their peers. It also will let disabled adults play with their children and grand-children. � e project is a public-private partnership with the city and the Rotary club hopes to raise $4.3 million for the outdoor play environment. It’s a project that deserves both public and private support.

For the C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust for a $500,000 donation to a fundraising campaign by the Boys and Girls Clubs in Bellevue to open a new

clubhouse downtown. Birkenfeld, a former Bellevue School District teacher, continues to help youngsters even a� er his passing.

For President Obama, who on Wednesday autho-rized U.S. airstrikes in Syria along with expanded airstrikes in Iraq as he vowed to wipe out Islamic

State terrorists “wherever they exist.” No one wants us to be involved in another war, but as political theorist and philosopher Edmund Burke said, “� e only thing neces-sary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Let’s hope other countries respond as well.

For sound minds and good science that came together in the 1980s to phase-out certain chemi-cals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans. As a

result, scientists say the Earth’s ozone layer is beginning to recover. Ozone shields the planet from solar radiation that causes skin cancer, crop damage and other problems.

We all know that excellent school-ing and personal hard work help kids get into good colleges and

universities. Strong schools also have a profound e� ect on property values.

A year ago, my oldest daughter started college. During her 13 years in Bellevue public schools, I gained a close look into the school district through volun-teering at school, talking to fellow parents, and through the content of her school work.

I started volunteering in my daughter’s kinder-garten class in 2000. My

volunteering was helpful and greatly appre-ciated, but I observed that extra funds were needed to strengthen the teaching materials beyond the basics. I concluded that the best way to strengthen our schools is to both

volunteer and donate money. � e volunteer hours and � nancial dona-

tions that I gave to Bellevue schools were some of the best investments I have made in the past 13 years. My daughter got a strong education and I have gotten a strong increase in my Bellevue home’s property value.

By donating money toward public education, we invest in our own � nancial interest. Donating money to an individual school is akin to investing in a college fund for their individual college education. Donating money to the Bellevue Schools Foundation is akin to adding investments in a 401K plan. A strong school district ensures a strong real estate market and a strong community where we live and raise our children.

In Bellevue there are two ways to donate money to improve public education: to a speci� c school by donating money to the school’s PTA and to the entire school

district by donating money to Bellevue Schools Foundation.

Every year we, and many of our friends, donate to both. I strongly believe that all of us should.

PTAs fund enrichments at individual schools. � e Bellevue Schools Foundation funds programs that enhance districtwide curriculum, support struggling students, and o� er challenges to advanced students. � is enhances districtwide opportunities for a strong education for every student in every school.

Having a schools foundation in our com-munity also allows us to attract funding from nonpro� t organizations and private corporations like Microso� and Boeing. � ese groups o� en prefer investing in organizations that have strong community support. � us donations made to the Bel-levue Schools Foundation ultimately attract even more donations for Bellevue schools. What a fabulous return on our investment

dollars.During tax season we breathe a sigh of

relief that our state has no income tax and relatively low real estate taxes. But this relief comes at the price of a shortfall in school funding. � e state funding avail-able to Washington schools is woefully inadequate, especially when compared to most other states. We must take personal responsibility to help fund our schools, in addition to lobbying our legislators for bet-ter school funding.

Tax-deductible donations toward educa-tion through both school PTAs and the Bellevue Schools Foundation have the triple bene� t of producing strong students, enhancing our community and strength-ening the � nancial future of all Bellevue’s homeowners.

Archana Verma is a Bellevue School District parent and a member of Bellevue Schools Foundation’s Board of Trustees.

Archana Verma

Strong schools have many benefits for students – and the rest of us

lant and vocal, our community group refused to be bul-lied or ignored. Common sense and the law were on our side. We rallied together, donating more than 350 hours to researching the facts and the law, writing letters, and testifying at the July hearing.

� e law matters, but sometimes it takes a committed and focused community e� ort to enforce it. � anks to all who took action and invested time, e� ort and money to protect our park — what a wonderful legacy for the future.

Our community group’s pro-park and pro-wireless mes-sage is simple: If the wireless companies need additional sites along the SR 520 corridor, there are better solutions that don’t impact our neighborhood parks.

� is � ght’s not over yet. Please sign our “Don’t Cell Our Park” petition at www.respectmedina.us and help preserve Medina’s neighborhood parks forever. Together, we can

make an important di� erence.Cynthia F. Adkins, Roger Frey, and John F. Harris, Medina

ter socks had been le� in storm drains along Factoria Boulevard following a re-paving project, and then the city stated the contractor for the project reported those socks had been removed back in late July.

Utilities Director Nav Otal told the Reporter a week a� er the Aug. 13 � ooding the cause was high-intensity rainfall; � e Coal Creek rain gauge recorded 2.65 inches of rain over a six-hour period during the � ooding. A storm event report states the gauge recorded a total of 2.75 inches of rain during the 10-hour storm. � e average

storm deposit was 1.55 inches in the city."It's the equivalent of a thousand-year

storm," she said.� e � ooded out Newport Villas condos

were unrelated to the � ooding on Factoria Boulevard, she'd said of Factoria’s share.

Selset said once the drains were pulled on Factoria Boulevard it only took about 30 minutes for � ood waters on Southeast 42nd to recede.

"Everything just went down instantly," she said.

Selset said she requested maintenance re-cords for storm drains along Factoria Bou-levard, but those have yet to be provided. City spokeswoman Emily Christensen told the Reporter that the city's public records department has not received such a request,

which is the legal route to obtaining such documents.

� e storm also � ooded the Formula-1 Fast Lube shop on Factoria Boulevard, washing out oil onto the road. Formula-1 owner Bob Healy also blames the city for causing the � ooding, but said the high cost of attorney's fees and a lack of evidence has prevented him from seeking legal action.

"We know something was holding it back from the drain," Healy said of the � ood waters. "� ey're saying, ‘Oh no, it wasn't the netting,' but it was something."

Newport Villas resident Beth Hinkson said nearby Richards Creek hadn't � ooded since 2006, and the homeowners associa-tion had remedied the problem with its drainage at the time.

"I've been here 22 years, and it's rained much, much harder," she said.

� e 2006 event was considered a 100-year � ood, and was more widespread — taking out the Newport High School ball-� elds. Hinkson said it’s odd the ball� elds didn't get hit again on Aug. 13, nor did the Marketplace at Factoria mall.

Selset said she's met with an attorney, but the process has been muddled by her homeowners association and the fact a new property management team took over Newport Villas on Sept. 1.

Lost in the � ood were numerous an-tiques belonging to Selset, as well as new and used appliances. Portions of her water-damaged walls have been cut out, and await reconstruction once FEMA responds to her claim. Her FEMA insurance covers her home, not the belongings within, she said.

"My � oors were 10 hours old," said Hinkson, who had just redone her � oors a� er a water main break � ooded her condo in May. She added she was lucky her ground � oor belongings were in storage when the Aug. 13 � ood hit. She is also

the only Newport Villas resident who had � ood insurance.

Hinkson and Selset said they've been living on their second � oors. Selset added that she does dishes in her bathtub and has pieced together a makeshi� kitchen upstairs.

"We call it house camping," she said.

Robertson argued the OHWM of 30.6 feet recommended by the planning commission and used by the Army Corps of Engineers was the right move, but she would go with the 2004 study's mean. �e measurements were �awed, she said, because water levels were arti�cially high at that time due to King County neglecting its responsibility to re-move sediment from the Sammamish River.

Councilmember John Chelminiak also

opposed Robertson's motion, adding all seven councilmembers in 2006 agreed 31.76 feet was "good public policy."

"I can't understand why we're having this discussion," he said, adding of the motion, "It's frankly bad public policy."

Sta� will later bring back a revised dra� master plan, which Robertson requested be available at least two weeks before coun-cil action is taken to allow the public and councilmembers adequate time for review.

Bellevue author Laurie Ann � omp-son focuses on youth empowerment and how 18 teens were able to a� ect positive change in their com-munities in her new book, “Be a Changemaker: How to Start Something that Matters.”

� ompson, who will share her book at the Seattle Creative Art Center’s � e Secret Garden Bookshop on Sept. 14, said the inspiration for the book started in 2004, a� er she came across David Bornstein’s book, “How to Change the World.”

Bornstein’s book pro� led adults from around the world who had started innovative programs and initiatives to better their communities. � ompson said she felt teens needed their own book, and one that would

show them the tools they can use to become changemakers themselves.

“I know all the teenagers that I talk to are so full of passion and idealism,” � ompson said. “� ere’s been that push for maybe the last 5-10 years now that youth do have

the tools - It kind of levels the playing � eld.”

� ompson said she looked to Ashoka, which supports social en-trepreneurship, to � nd candidates to

pro� le in her book.“Fortunately, one of their

� agship o� ces was in Seattle,” she said. “I got hooked up with that o� ce and got introduced to some of the teens they were working with at that time.”

� ompson said she was in-trigued by the story of Charles Orgbon, who at 12 years old took a school service project

and grew it into Earth Savers, a group on worldwide clubs that promote recy-cling and water conservation. She said Orgbon faced many hurdles, especially considering his family moved around a lot.

“Despite all of the challenges that he faced as a young person, he was

able to create this great organization that serves thousands of youths,” � ompson said. “He’s handed it o� to other lead-ers because he’s in col-lege. He was really able to

build something substantial consider-ing all the things he faced.”

� ompson will be at � e Secret Garden Bookshop 2-4 p.m. Sept. 14, and will be joined by leaders of four organizations featured in her book. � ose who started those groups are now busy with college or other ven-tures, she said.

“It’s really neat to see all four have gotten to that point where they have people waiting in the wings and their ready to run with it,” she said.

Bellevue-based game developer Bungie opened its doors to fans Monday to celebrate its � rst post-Microso� title, Destiny, which launched at midnight.

Notoriously secretive, given the fandom surrounding its popular Halo series, Bungie’s downtown headquarters was inundated with fans as early as Saturday, camping out in line for a chance to see its inner workings.

“I’m surprised we’re being so open,” said Derek Carroll, senior designer for Destiny, Bungie’s mythical sci-� � rst-person shooter. “Our fans are what make us, besides our

crazy drive.”Fans lined up around Bungie’s headquarters on 106th

Avenue Northeast, and were ushered in groups through the company’s two � oors, � rst getting a glimpse of its worksta-tions. � ey were later brought downstairs, where game de-velopers signed Destiny merchandise, before fans engaged in Destiny’s competitive gameplay.

“It was really cool to see the line forming,” said Eric Os-borne, head of community at Bungie. � is was the � rst time the game developer had opened its doors to the public since relocating to its Bellevue headquarters in 2010. Osborne said it won’t become standard practice. “� is is really just to celebrate Day One (for Destiny).”

Destiny had already launched in Australia � rst, and was just about to go live in Europe when Bungie’s doors opened.

� e title was hailed by Gamestop as the largest new game preorder of all time, said Genevieve Waldman, spokes-woman for Activision, which is under a 10-year partnership with Bungie to produce four Destiny games. Two expansion packs have already been announced.

slated for demolition for the city’s 120th Avenue Northeast expansion.

Barrier Motors has also openly opposed Sound Transit’s siting of a maintenance facility on Eastside Rail Corridor property due to its potential to cut into its Audi property, decreasing space used for vehicle inventory and employee parking.

“�is game is alive,” she said. “�ere’s going to be something new to do in this game every single day. It’s a living, breathing organ-ism, quite frankly.”

Development for Destiny started small, as Bungie was completing Halo Reach, and was led primar-ily by the company’s co-founder, Jason Jones, said Carroll. In 2010, the focus of Bungie’s 500 Bel-levue employees switched gears to Destiny. Unlike its Microso�-exclusive Halo games, Destiny is available on four platforms: PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

“It’s a whole new engine for the future,” Carroll said. “It really plays great on all four platforms it’s released on.”

Bungie included a replica ship from Destiny outside its Bellevue headquarters Monday’s launch. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

� e most explosive athlete on the Bellevue Christian Vikings football team is looking forward to shouldering the load of the running game this fall.

Vikings' ju-nior Dylan

Parsons, who has played slot

receiver, strong safety

and running back in the past, will be the featured running back this year. Bel-levue Christian head coach Todd Green said Parsons is primed for a breakout junior season.

"Dylan is probably the best player on our team. He is a very quick running back and is fast," Green said. Parsons said playing football at Bellevue Chris-tian is much more than just what transpires on the scoreboard on Friday and

Saturday nights."We want to win games

of course— just like any other team— but this team is more about building re-lationships with each other and testifying to God," Parsons said. "I do think we will be a lot more success-ful this year (Vikings went 3-7 last season). Our team camaraderie is great and we're working together re-ally well."

Parsons said it’s an honor and a privilege playing for a guy like coach Green.

"I have been playing three di� erent sports since I was � ve years old, and I have played for a lot of dif-ferent coaching sta� s, and I can honestly say that I've never seen a coach who is more invested in his players than coach (Todd) Green," Parsons said. "He cares so much for us and he puts in so much work to makes us not only better players, but better men."

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportu-

nity to ask Parsons a few questions about his life away from the gridiron.

Bellevue Reporter: How many text messages do you send per day?

Dylan Parsons: I prob-ably send up to 200 a day.

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?

DP: When guys on our football team ask for my extra socks.

BR: What is your favorite television show?

DP: I like the show "Pscyh." It's just funny and is something I watch with my brothers.

BR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be?

DP: My brother Nathan who is going to � e Mas-ter's College in California.

BR: What is your favorite place to eat in Bellevue?

DP: � e Cheesecake

Factory. I have been going there with my family all the time since I was younger. I love the steak there.

BR: What kind of music do you listen to the most in your iPod?

DP: I'm from the Seattle area so I got to love the al-ternative folk type of music.

BR: Where do you see yourself in � ve years?

DP: I want to go to the Master's College in Cali-fornia. I want to major in biblical studies. A� er that I want to get involved with ministry.

BEYOND THE ATHLETE

The winning streak remains intact.� e Bellevue Wolverines, who have won the past

six consecutive Class 3A state football champion-ships, conquered the Serra High School Cavaliers (Gardena, Calif.) 31-14 at the Honor Bowl on Sept. 6 at Oceanside High School in Southern California. It was the 55th con-secutive victory for the Bellevue football program.

� e Honor Bowl in San Diego con-sisted of � ve games in two days, featur-ing some of the top high school football programs on the West Coast.

� e trip to the San Diego region wasn’t just about the game for the Wolverines, it was about something much more impor-tant. � e event allowed players from all teams the opportunity to meet with vet-erans and tour nearby Camp Pendleton where rehabilitation facilities are located for wounded soldiers.

“It’s just a humbling experience to � rsthand look at what some of these soldiers go through and be able to honor them and play in a game,” Bellevue outside linebacker Ryan Gilbert said in a news release before the contest against Serra took place.

Bellevue senior Ross Connors concurred with Gilbert’s sentiment.

“It’s more than just a game because our football game isn’t the focus of it,” Connors said. “It’s a way to give aware-ness to a much more important thing than high school football.”

While the Wolverines undoubtedly enjoyed their time o� the � eld, they dominated on the gridiron as well. Eight days prior to Bellevue’s showdown with Serra, Wolverines assistant coach Rick Brown said his team had its showdown with Serra circled on its calendar.

“� ey’re a formidable opponent and they mirror us in a lot of ways. It’s going to be an interesting matchup and will be a battle of supremacy in the national rankings,” Brown said on Aug. 29.

It’s no surprise the Wolverines rose to the occasion and took care of business against one of the most talented teams in California. � e Wolverines pride themselves on prepara-

play both in singles and doubles matches, want to see their team win its fourth consecutive state champion-ship this season. Namba has advanced to the Class 4A state tournament as an individual the past two seasons.

"We have done it three times in a row (state titles). That is impressive for any school in any sport," Namba said. "I love playing for this school and this team. It's just great."

Kayahara concurred with Namba's sentiment.

"We just want win the title for the fourth year in a row. There is a little bit of pressure but you have to make it through the (regular) season first before your make plans for state," Kayahara said.

Coleman said Knights’ entire roster follows the lead of Namba and Kayahara on and off the court.

"They both have a great work ethic

and are very dedicated hard workers," Coleman said of his two team cap-tains. "They both enjoy mentoring the younger players on the team and have a lot of experience. I'm pretty lucky hav-ing these guys on the team. They play year around tennis. That is one of the keys to success. You have to play year-around if you're going to be successful at this sport."

Namba said he was originally inter-ested in baseball as a youth before mak-ing the permanent switch to tennis.

"My brother and I really liked base-ball early on. My dad played tennis in high school at Interlake High School and suggested that we try tennis. That was five and a half years ago. One year after I started playing tennis I quit base-ball," Namba said. "My serve and my

volleys are my best strength I'm pretty good at short and fast points."

Kayahara said the Knights tennis pro-gram has been a major part of his life since his childhood.

"I watched all of the Newport matches growing up. My older brother and older sister both played tennis at Newport and both of them were team captains. I have played for the past seven years and my family has always played tennis," Kayahara said.

Being a team captain is something Kayahara takes seriously.

"Being the team captain doesn't mean you're the best, it means that you get to support others and encourage them to play well. It's nice to just motivate the guys on the team and support them," he said.

Welcome Dr. Meng Lu!

Northwest Eye Surgeons is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Meng Lu to our professional team, as a specialist in glaucoma consultations and surgery.

Dr. Lu received her Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas. She completed her ophthalmology residency at Rugters New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey. She completed a glaucoma fellowship at the John A. Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dr. Lu practices in our Seattle and Renton of� ces, and is accepting patients by referral.

The ideal of the public library is to be a welcoming place for everyone. With this in mind, the library plans pro-grams to satisfy the intellectual and educational needs

and interests of a variety of people regard-less of their ages, backgrounds or abilities.

� e most obvious example of this diversity is in children’s story times. � ere are story times available by ages and world languages. � ere are also several special story times available this fall at the Bellevue Library.

Sensory Story Time is a new program aimed at children on the autism spectrum, as well as ADHD and other sensory-seek-

ing special needs. A regular story time might begin with a welcoming song or

a � nger play before the books are even opened. � ere may be

an activity in between the books to help kids settle down. � ese transitions can be rough for some children with dif-ferent needs, including those on the autism spectrum.

Sensory Story Times will feature the same events, but they will be revealed in a di� erent manner. � ere will be a visual schedule for children to follow to ease transitions between activities. Included in the story time is a collec-tion of � dget toys, which are small, tactile items o� en used to calm a child or help them focus and concentrate, or even to relieve the stress of being in a new situation.

Sensory Story Times will be held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 9:15 a.m., beginning Sept. 24. � is special story time will be for all ages and no registration is required.

American Sign Language story times will be back at the Bellevue Library in October. � ese story times feature vo-cabulary building games in ASL and a book translated into ASL. � is � ve-week session will run 7 p.m. Wednesdays, Oct. 1-29. No registration is required, and story times are for all ages.

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

Heritage CornerA look at Bellevue’s past

Fire Station No. 14Originally, as a rural, unincorporated area, Bellevue did

not have to rely on the county for � re service, but cre-ated its own volunteer � re department (which became Fire District No. 14) in the 1920s. Construction began on the Bellevue Fire Station at 102nd Avenue Southeast and Northeast First Place in 1946.

At this time the � re station was sta� ed completely by volunteers. Frank Ga� was the volunteer � re chief. Accord-ing to a June 1947 Bellevue American article, this station was designed "not only to meet present needs, but with an eye to the future." � is � re station was used for 28 years, until it was replaced by Fire Station No. 1 at 766 Bellevue Way S.E.

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 Eastside-HeritageCenter.org.

One adage I’d love to disprove is that the older you get the longer it takes for your body to heal from an in-

jury. But so far experience has done nothing to persuade me that it isn’t true.

I’ve devoted my summer to not exercising and gaining weight. Not by choice, but because it’s taking forever to recover from back problems caused by my decision in June that this would be a good year to learn to ride an unpredictable, 14-hands-tall pony.

Between June and the present, I’ve been using

my cat as a source of inspiration for how best to spend my time. You can see the depres-sion le� on our couch by my supine body.

Recently, I have felt encouraging signs. A short ride on the traction machine at Group Health gave me a few days of near bliss. Physical therapy has eliminated a need to drag one leg behind as I walk. Still, my chal-lenging exercise routine of yore only exists in memories of � tness past.

� is explains, sort of, why I invested in a Fitbit, a black rubber bracelet that uses wireless technology to help you keep track of your steps.

I wanted to test whether Fitbit would encourage a gradual increase in my activity

level during my recovery. � e � rst day a� er I got everything set up — charging the bat-tery, making it sync with my computer and phone, inserting the electronic element into the bracelet —I took a nap. My baseline for that day? Just above zero, a good starting point if you’re looking for progress.

� e second day I learned that living in a house with stairs helps my step count without any extra e� ort. � e third day I discovered that I don’t have to go out of my way to accumulate nearly three miles of steps. On day four I’m collecting extra steps by running to check the Fitbit dashboard on my computer every few minutes to see how many more I’ve taken since the last time I looked.

Recently my husband and I were rum-maging through a cupboard jammed with cables, old cameras and phones. I’m sure that one day I’ll � nd my Fitbit there. But for now I’m enjoying my new toy and excited to see my step count grow as my back heals.

Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired a� er 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http://stillalife.wordpress.com/.

Fitbit to the rescue? I hope
