� e former Group Health Hospital and clinic site in the Overlake area has been sold for $32.5 million, setting the stage for 1.1 million square feet of o� ce space, 1,400 residential units and nearly 300 hotel rooms.
Capstone Partners and its investment partner Lionstone U.S. Land Two, L.P. announced the purchase of the 28-acre site
on March 15. � e property is Redmond, but just north of the Bellevue city limits.
“It is hard to imagine a better urban in‐� ll site in the Puget Sound — signi� cant density adja-cent to a highway, across the street from Microso� and within a few blocks of every major retailer a household could need,” said Mike Hubbard of Capstone.
“Our vision for Overlake to be an urban center that’s tech friendly has been in the city’s plans for at least 14 years, if not more,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “It’s going to
have a light-rail station in 2023. It’s exciting to see this new neighborhood start to poke out of the ground, and over the next � ve to 10 years, we’re going to see it bloom.”
Marchione said he also envi-sions Overlake as a pedestrian-friendly village with residents walking to work at nearby compa-nies like Microso� , Nintendo and Honeywell.
Around 1,000 trees will be removed from the site in order for Capstone to build on the site. � e company agreed to plant 3,000 trees throughout the Redmond
community to replace the trees coming down.
Hubbard said Capstone plans to start site demolition of the old Group Health hospital, road grad-
ing and utility construction next month.

Bellevue customers could gain new options for garbage and recycling services when the city implements a new collec-tion contract in 2014. The City Council on Monday directed Utilities staff to pursue several changes based on feedback from customers and services available in neigh-boring jurisdictions.
The city’s 10-year contract with Republic Services for collection of garbage, recy-clables, yard debris and organic waste will expire in June 2014. Among the changes being considered are by the city are:
n Expanded customer service and bill-ing, including online account management.
n Promotion of food waste collection for multifamily and commercial custom-ers, similar to services provided to single-family customers.
n Unlimited commercial recycling at no extra charge. Currently, businesses in Bellevue must pay an additional fee when recycling more than 150 percent of their garbage container volume. The city is considering unlimited recycling for no
additional fee (it would be included in the base level of service) for commercial customers, a change designed to encour-age more recycling and less garbage, and to bring the commercial sector in line with the residential sector.
n A new single-family rate structure that is consistent with industry practice, where the price per gallon of garbage collected is the same for all customers. For example, the monthly cost of a 32-gallon cart would be half as much as a 64-gallon cart; now, 69 percent of residents are at or below the 32-gallon size. Rate impacts for individual customers would depend on the size of their garbage container. The goal is to encourage waste prevention and recycling, with customers downsizing their garbage carts.
The next step in the process will be to incorporate Monday’s comments from the council into a request to solicit proposals, including costs, from interested haulers. The new contract will go into effect at the end of June 2014.

BY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER
When David Ahl opened Green Tree Medical two years ago in Lake City, the business was an al-most instant success. People came from as far as the Eastside to the medicinal marijuana collective. A� er several years, Ahl and his business partner, Seth Simpson, thought it an obvious next step to expand their market.
Last year they applied for a business permit and began look-ing for locations in Bellevue, buoyed by Eastsider support for I-502.
Now, the pair is complaining of a “marijuana moratorium” on the part of the city. An exhaus-tive permitting process and the uncharted waters of medicinal marijuana on the Eastside have all but stalled their business plans.
“� ere was nobody over here,” says Simpson. “Really this area needs a patient-to-patient network; it needs the ability to get their medicine, instead of having to travel all the way to Seattle.”
In spring of 2012, the com-pany � led for a Bellevue business license at 12819 SE 38th St. near Factoria mall. It was granted. Later that year, in December, the company signed the lease at 10600 Main Street in downtown and requested that a modi� cation be made to the business license.
� at request was denied. Now Ahl and Simpson, who
say they should have opened in January, are � ghting “tooth-and-nail” to see their business plans through. � e city meanwhile claims that medicinal marijuana facilities are prohibited under the multiple-land-use district of downtown Bellevue.
Interim ordinance 6058, ad-opted last May, allows medicinal gardens only in areas zoned light
industrial, general commercial and medical institution, and prohibits them within 1,000 feet of schools and churches. Around the same time, councilmembers directed legal sta� to develop a more permanent regulation for medical marijuana.
Green Tree Medical’s planned location is in an unassuming building. Recently, a fresh coat of white paint was applied. � e � oors were redone, and windows
and doors added. Ahl says he wants to maintain a professional image and renovations help to-ward that. In Seattle, its customer base is largely patients aged 45 to 60, all of whom are required to have authorization.
Green Tree Medical had originally planned to operate a private patient-to-patient network for medicinal marijuana, sell-ing herbal remedies and some miscellaneous goods. � ough Ahl says the facilities would not include a collective garden on the Eastside, letters from the city attorney claim that collective gardens include delivery facilities, not just “the ground in which the cannabis is grown.”
“Given the [land use code’s] broad prohibitory language, any land use at the Main Street loca-tion that involves the cultivation, production, delivery or sale of medical cannabis is prohibited,” writes the o� ce of the city attor-ney, in a letter addressing Green Tree Medical.
But Kurt Boehl, attorney for Green Tree Medical, says just because medicinal marijuana is not directly addressed in the city’s Downtown-MU Land Use dis-trict, is not grounds to arbitrarily prohibit it.
Simpson stands in the space he hopes eventually will be Green Tree Medical’s bud room. A strip
of glass shelves has been installed, but for the most part the space is barren. Simpson and Ahl plan to continue � ghting the city, though they admit its a costly battle. In the meantime, the pair hopes to open as a retail space for grow-op equipment, allowing them to hold onto the location and recoup some of the money lost in their stalled plans.
Boehl says that in Seattle alone, his clients’ business brought in $400,000 in tax revenue. He expects that number to double for the Eastside, and hopes the city will recognize the potential for pro� t.
In December, ex-Microso� manager Jamen Shively an-nounced plans to open a store-front for premium grade pot following the passage of I-502. Ahl and Simpson point to his story, and the number of Bellevue residents who voted in favor of legalization. � e tide, they say, is changing.
“� e writing is on the wall with I-502 and legalization,” says Boehl. “Why not grab the bull by its horns and address it.”

Obama notacting like a leader
In a move rife with politics (and no sense what-so-ever) the Obama administration has seen � t to release over 2,000 illegal aliens on an unsus-pecting US population.
� e strategy, of course, is to make the states, particularly the red ones like Arizona, su� er as much as pos-sible in this manufactured sequester crisis. If things are going too well, then the White House wants to ratchet it up: don’t send a needed aircra� carrier into the Persian Gulf, release prison-ers, slow airport lines, and close White House tours. Any dire consequence that can be laid at the sequester will be considered.
It’s time for Obama to start acting like a leader.
� ere are some obvious areas he
could cut expenses at no pain to the American taxpayer. For openers he has added over 200,000 federal jobs since occupying the White House. If he cut those in half we could save $10 billion a year. How about cutting or stopping foreign aid? Giving money to a hostile state like Egypt is patently ridiculous. � en there’s smaller things like having both Obamas on the same Air Force 1 for their luxury vacations. Maybe we could save enough gas to fuel that aircra� carrier.
Of course doing any of these things would not further Obama’s agenda for 2014. He’s hoping to move enough Republicans out so he won’t be held accountable for anything. Ever. � en we will really see a spending crisis.Denny Andrews, Bellevue
Punish the irresponsible behavior
Which is more dangerous – a gun owner who uses the weapon respon-
sibly and never hurts anyone, or a car driver who uses his vehicle irrespon-sibly and kills two people because he is drunk?
Both can kill and both can save a person’s life. It is not the weapon’s fault, but the use.
And yes, a car is a weapon when used irresponsibly. (A March 25 re-port about a fatal wreck in Seattle said the driver had multiple DUI arrests over the past few years.) Two people are dead.
Di� erent laws apply to each weapon, but there are some parallels that need to be drawn. Before we over-control gun ownership, maybe we need to sti� en the penalty for drunken drivers. � e laws need to punish those for irresponsible behavior, regardless of how a person is killed.
We need to keep any weapon out of the hands of irresponsible people, and when people kill, they need to be punished accordingly.Larry Brickman, Bellevue
LETTERS
We see some conservatives in our state are upset over what they see as “activism” by the state Supreme Court. Speci� cally, they’re
peeved the court has ordered the Legislature to spend more money on education. At the same time, they’re upset the court has ruled that it only takes a simple majority for the Legislature to increase taxes.
Spending and collecting money, these lawmakers say, is the job of the Legislature.
Well, yes – and no.Conservatives are correct that justices don’t write
budgets or set tax rates. But it’s incorrect to say the courts don’t have a voice in making sure these functions are legally done.
Yes, the high court has told lawmakers the state needs to spend more money on education. But that’s because our state constitution says education is the “paramount duty” of the state. It’s hard to make the case the state is really doing that when the percent of the state budget spent on education goes down and down each year.
Lawmakers could simply take su� cient money from other state programs and give it to schools to satisfy the judges. Of course, that wouldn’t leave much money to carry out other state functions, but, hey, the judges didn’t say the task would be easy.
Which brings up the second issue: the need for only a simple majority to do so.
� e high court waded in on the issue when a lawsuit was brought challenging the requirement that raising taxes takes a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. � e judges said, according to the state constitution, that’s not so; it only takes a simple majority.
Some people might not like that, but in both cases, the judges were just doing their job – interpreting the state constitution. � e Legislature now should do it’s job and � x the problem.
– Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter
E D I T O R I A L
Court did its job,Legislature should, too
For most of my life I’ve been de� ned by my crazy, curly, lion-like red hair. � at’s why cutting it all o� tends to be a pretty big deal. Especially if it’s a bad
haircut. I remember the � rst time I got a
haircut that was actually really terrible. I think I was 10-years-old. I wanted a messy bob cut. What I got was a fashion-able mullet. To say the end result wasn’t what I expected is an understatement.
Many tears and a year full of butter� y clips later, my hair was back to a “nor-mal” length. � ank goodness.
Two weeks ago I cut all of my hair o� . Well, not ALL of it – just 18 inches. And donated it to Locks of Love – a nonpro� t
organization that uses donated locks to make hairpieces for � nancially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada su� ering from long-term medical hair loss.
� is wasn’t the � rst time I’ve donated my hair. In fact, in the past eight years, I’ve donated 41 inches of my hair.
Another understatement? My hair grows fast. I understand the pace my hair grows is not a normal
one. And I understand that not everyone can meet the re-quirements set for “donated hair.” But I do believe, if you’re able, you should give it a go; donate your hair to someone who can’t grow their own.
Sure, beauty is a big deal in American society – the idea of falling victim to a “bad haircut” can be a frighten-ing one. But it can be avoided. � is time around, I had a clearer vision of what I wanted – and a bad haircut, it was not. For the time being, I’m rocking a sassy new ‘do.
Did you catch that? For the time being. Because that’s the beauty of hair: for most of us, it grows back.

QHow would describe the Bellevue Police Department in one word?
ALinda Pillo: Outstanding. Our organization is made of of highly trained trained professional personnel.
QWhat do you think is the biggest concern by the com-munity?
AWell, in the last few months, we’ve certainly taken a hit with three unrelated personnel matters. Each incident
has its particular nuances, so you can’t just put everybody into a bucket and say “� re them all.” We did our research and I truly believe that the discipline that was imposed on these employees was fair and also quite � rm. And my col-leagues equally agreed.
QWhat’s your biggest frustration?
APersonnel issues. We are hiring human beings and we want them to be super-human, but they are de� nitely
human and they make mistakes. But there are many, many good things.
QWhat are some of those?
AWe respond and investigate calls that many agencies in this region do not even send an o� cer out on. We
actually have solved many car prowl crimes through latent � ngerprints. Just recently, we solved a homicide from 1980 – a cold case. It was fantastic the way our detectives still had those cases open. � e majority of residents feel safe walking around their neighborhood and downtown, even a� er dark. � at says a lot.
QWhat are the challenges of dealing with an increasingly diverse community?
ALanguage is a big barrier. � en we have the cultural piece. In many countries, there’s a fear of law enforce-
ment. � at’s why we are proactive, getting out in the com-munity and letting them know that we are there to help.
QTalk about police o� cers in the schools.
AWe have a school resource o� cer in every one of our high schools and one middle o� cer who is spending
his time working through the middle schools. It’s a hard program to measure, but I know they identi� ed youth who may need some extra help and have worked with (others) to try to � nd what that young person needs to get them back on track. � ey’re much more a counselor, but they still wear that badge and they do law enforcement.
QDo you think having a police o� cer in a school would prevent a shooter coming in?
AOur o� cers are equipped with ri� es if they do encounter any active shooter situation. I don’t think
having armed security in every school is the answer. I think having a school resource o� cer in the high schools has done wonders in reducing assaultive behavior, identifying youth and helping them work through various di� culties. And they have truly helped to keep our schools safe.
QShould red-light or speed cameras be used to solve other types of crime?
AIf you were driving out on a public street, I would think you’d have a low expectancy of privacy to have
your license plate captured. If, say, at 3 a.m. a major crime occurred near an intersection where a red-light camera was placed, we would want to have the ability to take a look at what vehicles drove through that intersection.
QHow has technology changed policing?
AWhen I was a detective, you’d sit at your desk and you’d have to call other agencies. Now [information
is] linked through a data base. Now, there’s a double-edge sword to that, too. It also has increased our fraud cases such as identity the� and ATM skimming.
QWhat questions do you get from the public?
APeople want to tell me about their tra� c tickets. � e reason that we pull people over and enforce the tra� c
laws is for their safety. � e red-light cameras are a win-win.
It is proven that camera enforcement improves the behavior of our motorists. If you do get a violation [from] a camera enforcement, [it’s better for you � nancially than] by an o� cer because it’s not considered a moving violation on your driving record so your insurance isn’t a� ected. Also, you don’t get a higher [penalty based on speed.] If an o� cer pulled you over, the penalty goes higher the faster that you’re speeding.
QDoes Bellevue need more sta� ?
AYou won’t hear my mantra of “we need more people.” First of all I need to make sure that we have done
everything we can to work as e� ciently and e� ectively. I challenge my sta� , “can you � nd a better way to get the job done?” � e work that we’re doing, is it creating an out-come to improve the safety of the city? A� er all of that is exhausted, then I will look to adding more sta� .
QWhere should the Bellevue Police Department be in the next � ne years?
AMy goal is for this year is to get some type of “smart” device into every single � rst-responder’s hand,
whether that’s a smart phone, a tablet, whatever it is. We actually have a [device] out in the � eld right now that will read a � ngerprint. If the o� cer has any concern whether that person is giving a true identity, we have that device.
QAny � nal thoughts?
A We have highly trained professional sta� who go out there and dedicate themselves to keeping our city safe.
Although we’ve had a rough patch, it’s how you address is-sues within an organization that makes you stronger. We’re learning to be even better.
REPORTER Q/A | Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo
Linda Pillo

You’d think we’d see it coming. A� er all, it is called April Fools Day – and it happens every year. Still, countless humans annually prank countless other
humans – from placing Saran Wrap over toilet bowls, to gluing coins to sidewalks. We fool and get fooled alike.
April Fools Day, it is said, originated in the 16th century in France (where they still cannot get enough of Jerry Lewis). It is also called All Fools Day, which many people prefer because it sounds more inclusive.
I was partly complicit in one of this area’s most notorious April Fools stunts a number of years ago. An April 1st
broadcast of the local comedy show “Almost Live” on KING TV was suddenly interrupted by what appeared
to be a breaking news bulletin. A grave-looking news anchor said, “� e Space Needle has just fallen over!”
A “live” picture of the great landmark lying on its side further enhanced the story – a photo quite obviously phony when viewed today – but that nonetheless con-vinced considerable numbers of local viewers that what they were seeing was real.
Hundreds of people began calling emergency and police departments – some in a genuine panic: “My daughter is a waitress at the Space Needle!” Or, “My neighbor runs the elevator!” � e furor became national news, and if KING TV had a woodshed, the cast and crew of “Almost Live” would have been taken to it.
On another April 1st at another TV station where I worked, a guy named Steve had just quit his job to take another and better opportunity in a larger market. He’d sold his house, bought a new one – and sent his family ahead to the new town.
He had just � nished cleaning out his desk when the phone rang. He picked it up and the voice on the other end was deeply apologetic.
“Steve, I’m afraid we’ve had some sudden budget cuts here – and we’re no longer going to be able to o� er you that job.”
Steve’s face turned ashen, he hung up quickly – and
with tears in his eyes, raced out of the building so fast no one had time to tell him that the apologetic voice on the other end of the phone was actually a prankster employee calling from the next room.
Steve drove his Plymouth Duster through the parking lot so fast, no one could catch up to him amidst the blue smoke of his peel out. � ere were no cell phones back then – and no way to contact him.
� ose of us in on the trick imagined all kinds of horrible scenarios, the worst of which was a desperate Steve driving his Duster o� the nearest cli� . (Although none of us could think of a single cli� in that particular town.)
When Steve waltzed back in an hour later, his look of triumph was ear to ear. He had reverse tricked the rest of us – immediately recognizing the phone prank, and then putting on an acting performance that should have garnered him an Emmy.
� at day, at least, he was no one’s fool. But there was no shortage of them elsewhere in the
building.

When Ann Swanson got her start in golf, every-one including herself was surprised.
Decades before Title IX put women on an even playing � eld in inter-scholastic and intercol-legiate athletics around the country, Swanson was just a child and mostly unin-terested in sports. � at all changed when her older brother, who worked as a caddy at the golf course near their home, brought home some spare clubs.
“My sister and I just started hitting balls,” she said.
Despite a lack of female role models in the game or even a place to receive for-mal training, Swanson blos-somed as a golfer through-out her youth and soon found she had a passion for the game. Eventually, she was faced with a predica-ment that would change the course of the women’s game in Washington when she became the � rst female in state history to play on
a men’s community college team, which she did at Grays Harbor College.
“Grays Harbor was a big promotor and they went to bat for me,” she said. “In any sport, every genera-tion is better o� than the generation before them.”
� e current generation of female golfers at Washing-ton’s colleges certainly owe a large measure of their standing to Swanson, who parlayed her childhood interest into a career in and around the game. Swan-son � nished her degree at Seattle University a� er her days at Grays Harbor and went on to become one of the most decorated golfers in state history.
Her career accom-plishments include state championships, Seattle city titles, and three Women’s U.S. Open � elds, among a laundry list of accolades.
It was her career on the course and her knowl-edge of the history of the women’s game in the state that brought her to Over-lake Golf Club recently as
the keynote speaker for the Northwest Ladies Golf As-sociation spring event.
While the women’s game has grown since her own introduction to the game decades ago, Swanson said she would still like to see more women utilizing golf for its social bene� ts. She also said the current generation of female players is far more advanced physi-cally and has much greater potential to develop their skills in the game.
“I would like to see more women get into the game,” she said. “It is a sport that really connects people.”

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in sports and recreationRegions best come to Eastside for Northwest Invitational
Top lacrosse teams from Washington, Oregon, Nevada and British Columbia were on Mercer Island last week for the ninth installment of the Northwest Invitational lacrosse tournament and the defending state champions
from Bellevue again had its chance to be measured against the best in the region.
Bellevue kept its mark perfect on the year with a pair of wins in the tour-nament, � rst over defending Oregon state champion Lincoln (Portland) and then 2012 Nevada state champion Palo Verde.
� e Wolverines led Lincoln only 1-0 a� er the quarters before stepping on the throttle in the � nal period. � e shutout was the � rst in the eight-year tenure of coach John Baumann and also came with � rst-year starter Bradley Medeiros in goal.
� e Wolverines came back from that win to hand Palo Verde only its second loss of the season in a 9-2 win.
Simon Jenkin, Hank Bethke, Cole Johnson and Camp-bell Alexi� each scored two goals for Bellevue.
Bellevue faced Tahoma a� er the Reporter’s deadline and will meet Eastlake on Tuesday at home in an 8 p.m. start before beginning play in a spring tournament.

Marco Stanchi, a member of Bellevue High School’s water polo and swim and dive teams, is headed to the USA Water Polo National Team camp a� er his per-formance at the regional Olympic Development Program championships.
� e National Team Selec-tion Camp (NTSC) consists of 70 of the country’s top players in grades nine and ten. In late May, Stanchi will compete in Southern California for one of 30 spots on the US Youth National Team, which travels internationally and
represents the United States against the best teams in the world.
A� er focusing on swim-ming through his fresh-man year, Stanchi started playing water polo last May for Rain City Water Polo club. In the fall, he helped lead the Bellevue High School team to its second straight state title, earning First Team All-State honors
in the process. Only 10 months a� er beginning his career in the sport, Stanchi is one step away from com-peting against the best in the world and representing the United States.
Four athletes from Wash-ington will join Stanchi at the NTSC, including his Rain City teammate Con-rad Gordon (Roosevelt).
Bellevue’s George French,
Liam Naughton, Josh Rehder and Daniel Sandler were chosen for the Paci� c Northwest ODP team as well and participated in the tournament in Las Vegas, along with Stanchi.
Rain City had only two team members selected in 2012.

Celebrate EASTER with usMany people watch their
weight by limiting their intake of unhealthy fats, but sugar is also a culprit in
poor health. During Easter celebrations, when family visits abound, it can be dif-� cult to avoid eating exces-
sive amounts of the stu� , in chocolate bunnies and candy-coated Easter eggs.
Whether they are melt-in-your-mouth so� or de-lightfully crunchy, candies and other sweet treats are everywhere at this time of year. Remember before you reach for another one that an excess of sugar has an
addiction-like e� ect: the more we eat, the more we want and the more we need. By controlling our sugar levels, we can better control our cravings for sugar.
You can help yourself by avoiding so� drinks or even natural fruit juices, which have a highly concentrated sugar content. Drink a lot of water to quench your thirst and cut your appetite. Another thing to keep in mind is that when teeth are recently cleaned, the taste of sugary treats is less appeal-ing and you’re less likely to eat them. Brush your teeth a� er meals, or chew some mint or eucalyptus � avoured gum, which have the same e� ect. A portion of dark chocolate contains roughly the same amount of sugar as a raw carrot, so if you can’t resist nibbling on some chocolate treats, opt for those containing 70 percent cocoa. Avoid milk chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate bars.
If you can’t stay away from cookies and cakes,
take the time to bake them yourself without using a prepared mix. � is way,
you can limit the quantity of sugar and fat and better control your cravings.
Reducing sugar intake at Easter
When you’re confronted with all those Easter treats, you can at least avoid fruit juices, so� drinks, and processed cookies and cakes, which quickly boost your blood-sugar levels.

Rabbits are always very popular gi� s over the Easter holidays. � ey’re cute, af-fectionate, and adorable and they’re certain to give a lot of pleasure to your children. � ey make lovely companions but they do require a great deal of patience.
Over time, rabbits can be trained like cats and, because they live from � ve to ten years, we must be prepared to look a� er them over a long period of time. � ey love to be cuddled and enjoy following their owners around the house. However, they
do need some peace and quiet and are sensitive to loud noises.
It can never be repeated o� en enough: it is possible to house-train a rabbit, but it takes a great deal of time and patience. Castration can solve problems of cleanli-ness where male rabbits are concerned and without this precaution they will probably leave their mark everywhere in the home. If you persevere with the training you will eventually be able to leave your rabbit to roam freely around the house. However,
rabbits love chewing on telephone wires, papers and bedding so these temptations will have to be protected.
It is always preferable to choose a small rabbit. Normally, the smaller the ears the smaller the rabbit will be. Here is a list of rabbit breeds in order of size: Pol-ish, Mini-Rex, Dwarf, Lionhead (with a mane) and Dwarf Lop (with long ears) � e Rex breed is the most a� ectionate and has the so� est coat.
Rabbits eat food especially adapted to
their needs but they also love lettuce and fruits. However, be careful not to give them too much fresh food as this could make them ill and even endanger their lives.
A living, breathing, Easter Bunny!

PUBLIC NOTICES
BY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER
There’s something pretty incredible about putting 15,000 students into a room and telling them they have the power to change the world. That’s what We Day is all about. Inspiring youth.
Started by brothers Craig and Marc Kiel-burger, We Day is a party of sorts – consist-ing of live music, celebrity appearances and lots of opportunities to scream and dance. But it’s also got a mission: to encourage young people to take action through service projects.
On Wednesday, students from across Washington state gathered at Seattle’s Key Arena, where We Day made its debut in the United States.
The Kielburgers’ dedication to service started in 1995, when, at age 12, Craig Kielburger heard a story about a Pakastani boy who was sold in to slavery, and was later killed, for speaking out. Inspired to make changes in how people were being treated around the world, Craig rallied a group of friends to raise money for children facing similar obstacles.
That project evolved in to Free the Children – an international charity and educational program that seeks to empower young people. And from that, the Kielburg-ers started We Day – a rally that’s taken place throughout Canada for the past six years.
Let it be known that We Day isn’t some-thing you can buy your way in to. Rather, students earn their ticket by committing to positively change the world around them – at both the local and global levels. Exam-ples? Food drives, anti-bullying campaigns, fundraisers to build schools and wells. But that’s just the tip of the ice berg. The entire purpose of We Day is to encourage young people to dream big - and to act on those dreams.
We Day Seattle attendees came from all over the state, representing 400 middle and high schools. But a number of people came
from our own backyard – including 24 sixth graders from Eastside Christian School in Bellevue.
Eastside Christian Principal Mark Migliore said the school has always incor-porated service learning in to their cur-riculum, and as such, the We Day agenda seemed like the perfect fit.
“The focus here, at Eastside Christian School, over the past several years, has been on individual service,” Migliore said.
Eastside Christian students earned their ticket to We Day by donating items to both the Angel Tree and “Operation Christmas Child” projects in December. The sixth grade class has also donated 96 hours of their time on various community projects; they plan to give 140 hours of service by the
end of the year. “The whole purpose of We Day is to really
get kids thinking about service – to think
about how they can make a difference,” Migliore said. “I think that’s a theme that we are continuing to explore with our students.”
The Seattle event, which came to fruition with help from co-organizer (and Seattle Seahawks coach) Pete Carroll, featured appearances by Jennifer Hudson, Martin Sheen, Mia Farrow, Nelly Furtado and Seattle hip-hop act Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Seahawks players Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Russell Okung and John Moffitt also took the stage.
Already brainstorming their next action, Migliore said a group of students plan to participate in the “We Are Silent” cam-paign on April 18, an annual fundraising and awareness-raising campaign organized by Free the Children. The idea behind the campaign is that participants stand in silent solidarity for 24 hours with child laborers – whose voices are silenced by not having their rights upheld.
“I can say with confidence that We Day accomplished its primary goal,” Migliore said. “Our young people are inspired and charged up to get out there and bring about positive change.”

Bellevue police officer Jan M. Auclair Trizuto filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the city of Bellevue and the Bellevue Police Department, claiming re-taliation for reporting offensive and inap-propriate stories by her training supervi-sor. The 10-page complaint states that the supervising officer created an uncomfort-able work environment by graphically speaking about his sexual experiences, past partners and by providing detailed descriptions of his own body parts while the two were alone in a patrol car.
Trizuto later began receiving inappro-priate text messages, which she claims were unsolicited. Trizuto at first didn’t report the incidents because she feared retaliation. She later confided in two colleagues, one of whom, a lieutenant, reported it against her wishes.
Once reported, Trizuto said another Bellevue police officer began ridiculing
her in front of coworkers and threatening discipline. She also received a negative review of her work performance that she believes was influenced by the sexual harassment complaints.
“The work environment remains hos-tile and unchanged,” reads the complaint. “…Commencing no earlier than 2008, BPD has engaged in a pattern and prac-tice of retaliating against, or allowing its employees to retaliate against, employees who lodge formal complaints.”
A spokesperson said the police depart-ment is not able to discuss the details of any pending lawsuit, but added: “the City and Police Department take these matters very seriously and we are committed to fully addressing any allegations of wrong-doing.”

Tina Fey stars in “Admission,” a new romantic comedy
� lm in which she plays a disciplined, independent
Princeton admis-sions o� cer named Portia. Her life takes an unexpect-ed turn when her longtime
boyfriend leaves her for another woman and a school teacher reveals an important relationship between Portia and one of his students, Jeremiah. A� er one of her routine informational visits to a small high school, the
eccentric, humanitarian school teacher, John, intro-duces her to an unusual boy named Jeremiah who he later tells her is the son she gave up for adoption in college. Portia quickly feels compelled to help Jeremiah gain acceptance to Princeton, his newly declared “dream school,” putting her job of sixteen years and ethics into ques-tion.
All of the characters in the � lm, from Portia to her very feministic mother and to John’s adopted Ugandan son, were extremely lik-able and dynamic. Portia’s mother added a great deal of humor to the � lm by being over the top, going so far as to refuse to feed her dogs since she believed they were meant to be wild
and feed them-selves. Paul Rudd portrayed the teacher, John, as a helpful adventur-er trying to � nd his way in the world by traveling, despite his adopted son’s frustra-tion, and quickly became Portia’s love interest. Fey, known for being a suc-cessful comedian, used her character’s quirkiness to make the audience laugh. � ere were many funny moments in the � lm, but the quirkiness occasionally became too unrealistic to be laughable. Despite all of the intriguing and enter-taining characters, I didn’t think there was enough character development in the � lm to be satisfying.
For me, as a high
school junior, it was very interest-ing to see the ad-missions process on screen as the
fictional Princ-eton admissions
committee mulled over accomplished potential students. The portrayal of it made the process seem as gruel-ing and unpredictable as most college applicants fear.
Although the � lm was a romantic comedy, the focus was not on romantic love so much as Portia’s personal growth.
Unfortunately, the main shortcoming of the � lm was its plot. � e storyline was mediocre and didn’t end as satisfyingly as I would have liked. It didn’t really have a concluding message to take away from it either. I thought the plot could have gone much deeper, but it was still enjoyable. Overall the � lm was generally lighthearted and fun.

Agnes “Aggie” Janeth Garwin
Agnes “Aggie” Janeth Garwin died unexpectedly on Saturday, March 16, 2013 in Port Orchard, WA.
She was born to Catherine and Jozef Paluga on January 21, 1926 in East Chicago, IN, the youngest of seven children. After graduation from Washington High School in East Chicago, she entered the Navy in March of 1945, stationed in San Francisco, until her honorable discharge in June of 1946.
She married Isaac “Ike” Garwin on September 2, 1950 in East Chicago, and moved to Kansas City that same year. She and Ike moved to Bellevue, WA in 1961, where she graduated from Shoreline Community College in 1971 with a degree in Medical Lab Technology. She retired in 1993, after having worked at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and the Allen Park Veteran’s Hospital in Allen Park, MI. She and Ike moved from Dearborn, MI to Port Orchard in 1996, where she had been an active volunteer at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, Friends of the Library, the Soup Kitchen, Washington Veteran’s Home and the Friends of Given’s Senior Community Center.
Her hobbies included dancing, bible study, cooking, gardening, traveling, crafting, collecting miniature shoes, thrift shop shopping, and lunching and socializing with her many friends. All who knew Agnes spoke of her vitality, her sense of humor, and her love of life; she will be sorely missed by both family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, five of her six siblings, and her husband Ike in 2001. She is survived by her son, Gregory (Alice) of Bothell; daughter Geri Crookston (John) of Delton, MI; daughter Catherine Bailey (Mark) of Louisville, CO; brother John Paluga of Kansas City; eight grandchildren, and one great grandchild.

Entrepreneur spoilscandy, makes dough
Too much butter in the ta� y, that’s how it all began. In 1926, Charley Younger and his mother made and sold candies out of their basement candy kitchen.
Among their recipes was mint-� avored ta� y, but on one occasion Mrs. Younger added too much butter. � e result was not ta� y but the soon-to-be-famous “Younger’s Mints.”
� e butter in the recipe made the candies “melt-in-your-mouth,” and their popularity spread out of Bellevue, then out of state. By 1931, the Youngers had moved out of their basement and into a store on Main Street. Later, the store would move again, to 104th Avenue Northeast (now Bel-levue Way).
� e sugar rationing of World War II � nally brought an end to the family business a� er 21 delicious years. Information from Culinary History of a Paci� c Northwest Town: Bellevue, Washing-ton by Suzanne Knauss.
Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. Ma-terial is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center. For more information call 425-450-1049.

A Bellevue man, son of the co-discoverer of the struc-ture of DNA, will auction o� a letter his father wrote him about the breakthrough at an April 10 sale at Christie’s in New York.
Michael Crick was 12 and a student at a boarding school when his father, Francis, wrote to tell him about the discovery, which included a sketch of DNA’s double helix structure.
Michael Crick, now 72, said he knew his father had done something remarkable, but didn’t understand at the time its full impact. � e letter was written about a month before the work, by Francis Crick and James Watson would be published.
Crick, Watson and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 for their work.
Michael Crick said he will donate half the proceeds from the sale of the letter to a trust bene� ting the Salk Institute, where his father worked for several decades later in his life.
Michael Crick became a pioneer designer of computer games.

EvergreenHealth Medical Center—KirklandSaturday, March 3011:30 am - 2:00 pmWe cordially invite you to be our special guest to celebrate the opening of the new Halvorson Cancer Center on the main Kirkland campus of EvergreenHealth.
Join us on Saturday, March 30, from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm to dedicate this new comprehensive center to you—our patients, families, survivors and caregivers who believe in a place where hope lives.
The new center seamlessly aligns all cancer care and supporting services in a beautiful, integrated facility like no other on the Eastside, specifi cally designed with our patients’ and your family’s perspective and comfort as a guiding force.
The opening of the new center also celebrates the recent collaboration between EvergreenHealth and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, which brings SCCA’s leading-edge cancer research together with EvergreeHealth’s commitment to innovation and compassionate care to provide our patients with nationally recognized cancer care.
We hope you will join us for this dedication event to celebrate where hope lives at the Halvorson Cancer Center. Enjoy light refreshments, guided tours and the opportunity to connect with neighbors and friends from EvergreenHealth and SCCA.
