Rebekah Edelman � rst began to notice she was losing her hearing when she was 14. She slowly began responding ‘what?’ to people talking to her or asking them to repeat themselves. Soon, she was the only child in her school wearing hearing aids.

“When I � rst learned that I was

losing my hearing, I just thought it was weird. No one in my family has hearing loss, so I was really confused for a while. I really just wanted an answer. Why me? Why am I losing my hearing? What did I do?” she said.

For a few years, her hearing levels were in the acceptable range, but a test in 2013 showed that her levels had declined rap-idly. At 23, she is now legally deaf.

Still, Edelman continued on with her life, graduating from Central Washington University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Sci-ence in public health. � rough a mixture of lip reading, non-ver-bal cues and sign language, she has built friendships, a longterm relationship and works a full-time retail job.

“She’s adapted incredibly well,”


In the midst of the region’s all-time driest May-July and unusually hot weather, the city of Bellevue joined with the Cascade Water Alli-

ance and other cities to recommend that citizens reduce their water use by 10 percent.

“� e city is relying on the sup-port and cooperation of all water users to conserve the available

water supply. If everyone cooper-ates, we may avoid imposing more stringent restrictions at a later date,” city o� cials said in a press release.

Residents are asked to cut back on unnecessary watering, take shorter showers, wash only full loads of laundry, and take other methods outlined in the city’s press release.

With the aforementioned

concerns and in anticipation of a drier-than-normal fall, the Cascade Water Alliance joined Seattle Public Utilities, Tacoma Water and the city of Everett in their e� orts to conserve the resource.

� e Alliance supplies water to Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Tuk-wila, Issaquah and the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District.


Community members are mourning the death of Bellevue resident Christine Morris, who was killed on Aug. 6 a� er she swerved to avoid a tire that became dislodged from the vehicle in front of her and lost control of her vehicle.

“We’re devastated. It’s not fair,” said longtime friend Megan Radvick. “She’s such a wonderful person. She would help anyone. Anyone who even met her once has memories of her.”

Erica Fernandez was surprised to answer her door early one morning and � nd Eastgate Public Health nurse Shane Kachi. A� er a di� cult, high-risk pregnancy dur-ing which she developed pre-eclampsia, Fernandez’s son had been born three weeks early and had just returned home a� er spending a week in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Fatigued and having trouble breastfeed-ing, Fernandez was at her wits end a� er speaking to � ve di� erent lactation special-ists. She quickly found comfort and support in Kachi.

“(� e other doctors) were horrible. � ey made me feel like a bad mom,” said Fernan-dez. “Shane (Kachi) was more like a friend, and she gave me such a peace of mind.”

Over the next year, Kachi regularly vis-ited Fernandez and her son, Mason, thanks to the Maternity Support Services program. � rough the service, Kachi covered every-thing from healthy eating habits to physical and emotional development to monitoring Fernandez’s health.

Fernandez is just one of many women in Bellevue who have received support through the Maternity Support Services program. Every day, Kachi sees three to four clients in Bellevue, Issaquah, Sam-mamish, the Snoqualmie Valley and part of Redmond. She is the only full-time MSS nurse at Eastgate Public Health, with one additional part-time nurse.

Eastgate Public Health had more than 1,500 Maternity Support Services/Infant Care Management clients in 2013. Across King County, the public health system pro-vided these services to more than 30,000 women that year.

� e Maternity Support Services program is one of many Eastside programs that would receive additional funding under the county’s Best Starts for Kids initiative, which was approved as a November ballot measure by the county council on July 22.

Under Best Starts for Kids, a proposed six-year levy would provide funding for prevention and early intervention programs

designed to increase the number of King County children and youth who reach adulthood healthy.

� e majority of funding would go towards local organizations, as decided by each community. About 12 percent would go toward clinic services like MSS.

But, a� er a 35 percent cut to the MSS program a few years ago, that small amount of funding would provide stability to East-gate’s and other health centers programs.

“Last year, with all of the cuts that have come over time, we fell o� of the cli� ,” said Patty Hayes, Director, Public Health for Seattle and King County. “� e great thing is that it’s going to give some money to make sure the program that we have with the funding to maintain these services.”

Home visiting, as opposed to relying solely on check-ups at a primary care doctor’s o� ce, provides a window into the life of the mother and baby, said Robin Lau-rence, personal health services supervisor

Following in the steps of Net� ix, Micro-so� announced on Aug. 5 that they will be increasing their paid paternal leave options, e� ective Nov. 1.

“As we ask our employees to bring their ‘A’ game to work every day to achieve our mission, we believe it’s our responsibility to create an environment where people can do their best work. A key component of this is supporting our employees with ben-e� ts that matter most to them,” Kathleen Hogan, executive vice president of human resources, said in a blog post on Microso� ’s website.

Currently, Microso� o� ered eight weeks of full paid maternity disability leave for new mothers, plus 12 weeks of parental leave for all parents of new children (four weeks paid, eight unpaid).

Beginning on Nov. 1, male and female employees will receive 12 weeks of fully

paid parental leave. For birth mothers, that will be in addi-

tion to the eight weeks of fully paid mater-nity disability leave they currently receive, allowing them to take a total of 20 weeks of fully paid leave. Microso� is also o� ering birth mothers expanded opportunity to use short-term disability leave during the two weeks prior to their scheduled due date.

Eligible parents will also have increased � exibility in using their leave, taking it either in one continuous 12-week period or splitting it into two periods. � ey will also have the option to phase back into work on a half-time basis.

Net� ix announced on Aug. 4 that they were introducing an unlimited leave policy for new mothers and fathers, e� ective im-mediately. Under this new policy, parents can take o� as much time as they want during the � rst year a� er a child’s birth or adoption. � ey can reportedly return part-time, full-time, or return and then go back out as needed.

Microsoft to increase parental leave


Tacoma-based retailer Seldens Designer Home Furnishing has opened their � rst store in Bellevue, having purchased the longtime furniture retailer Masins Furniture in April.

“It’s been a desire for our company to expand into the Seattle/Bellevue area for some time. We’re really excited about this,” said Scott Selden, owner of Seldens.

� e new 25,000-square-foot Bellevue location will feature dozens of furniture and manufacturer brands, complementary design services and a mattress gallery. � ey also work directly with interior design professionals through their Partners in Design program.

“One of the biggest things that we are bringing to the Bellevue market is diversity of product,” said Selden.

A� er four generations in the future business, the Masin’s patriarch, Bob Masin, decided to retire and sell the business. Masins � rst opened in Seattle in 1927 as a dry goods store, and operated there until 2011. � ey

opened their Bellevue location in 1984. “We were a family store, my kids were in all

of our advertisements,” said David Masin, son of Bob Masin. “One of the hardest things to do was tell my kids that I wasn’t going to pass the store on to them.”

Masins was also known for high-end furnishings, and carried a few brands exclu-sively. � e store had also adapted well to the online market, said David Masin, with online sales bringing in around 15 percent of their revenue.

Selden jumped at the opportunity to pur-

chase his family’s longtime rival in the small Puget Sound furniture market.

“� ey were friendly competitors, and we had a lot of crossover of product categories and brands,” he said.

Parts of the operation will still stay in the family. � e entire sta� of Masins will stay on, with David Masin saying his family would not have accepted the deal otherwise. Masin him-self will stay as well as showroom manager.

Bringing David Masin into the Seldens team was an easy choice, said Selden. “He

knows the Seattle/Bellevue customer. We needed a good, seasoned manager for our showroom and Dave was the obvious choice,” he said.

� is year marks not only the store’s expan-sion, but Seldens’ 75th anniversary in the business. As Scott Selden looks to pass the business on to another generation, he is look-ing towards expanding North in the future. “We want to keep growth in the family busi-ness, so we will be looking at new opportuni-ties,” he said.

What is it about people who think it is okay to bring a dog into a grocery store or a restaurant? The better question might be: Why doesn’t anyone object?

While I love my own dog — a tiny elderly mini-Dachshund — I do not, would not, take him into a grocery or restau-rant. And why? It is prohibited Washington food code, in conjunction with the FDA Food Code 2009 (See FDA Food Code 2009: Sec. 6-501.115 Prohibiting Animals). We have all seen them. From extremely large dogs whose mere presence can make people wary to small dogs whose owners actually place them in the shopping cart. Of course we are not talking here about legitimate com-panion animals. Yet, we don’t really know who is legiti-mate unless the animal wears a vest, and no one wants to

ask for proof. So how did it become ac-ceptable to bring a dog into a place where cleanliness is paramount? It seems that people who bring unauthor-ized pets in the store are either oblivious, entitled or don’t care. Why should they care? No one says anything.

It seems that disbelief has morphed into grim accep-tance. It is up to the rest of us to use those sanitary wipes inside the door to make sure our cart is clean. Why don’t store managers or employees — no doubt themselves incredulous that people behave this way — confront these sco� aws? Grocery stores and restaruants have reams of regulation they must follow to ensure the food sold in their stores are safe. So, why put those e� orts at risk? We understand their reluctance to o� end shop-pers. But what about the rest of us — what about our needs or our preferences? The world these days is all about acceptance, a (mostly) good thing. However, personal preference should not take precedence over rules designed to keep our food and our families safe.

No restroom for wheel-chair users at theater

I am a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair full time. I cannot stand or walk at all.

We took our granddaughter to Crossroads Theater in Bellevue yesterday and after drinking their mega-sized “small” lemonade I was shocked to be told that there are no wheelchair-accessible bathroom stalls because they are “remodeling” their restrooms.

I told the manager, “So you think people in wheelchairs don’t need to use the restroom?” All he did was shake his head.

Do you think they’d kept the the-ater open if there were no restrooms for their able-bodied patrons?

At the very least they should post a sign at the door informing people that the disability restroom is not available.

I will not be going to that theater any time soon, and I advised my 90+ member women’s wheelchair user support group, Northwest Women Wheelers Network, to do the same.

PSE solarize program - check that math

In a letter to the editor in the Aug 7 Opinion page stated that there is “No better time to ‘solarize’,” raises an interesting question. Where does PSE get the money to pay $0.54 for a kilowatt-hour of electricity they sell to others for $0.08?

The Bard at the parkOn a trip to the west side (of

the state) this past weekend, I had the delightful opportunity to see a Shakespeare play in Ashwood Park. How fortunate it is that Bellevue has this small park in the midst of all those tall buildings, where a person can simply walk over, sit on the grass, feel the breeze and be enter-tained by very tal-ented troop of players, The Wooden O. I was also pleased that the event was free. Way to go Bellevue and look forward to visit-ing again and seeing more plays in Ashwood Park.

Music alfresco is good for your health

There has been considerable press lately concerning the significance of trees to one’s health; however, music also seems to be of importance to our wellbeing. If this is true about music then within the shadow of the Sammamish/Issaquah Plateau there is an abundance of opportunities to experience the nourishing aspects of music. This was especially true dur-ing the week of August 3 where over a three day period at six venues there was an opportunity to listen to a number of musical groups and all of this was free. Interesting the groups provide an opportunity to hear music with a worldwide theme. First there was Blake Nobel from Australia at the Bellevue Fountain Court on Tuesday playing the Didgeridoo

which included a dingo dog jingle. That evening at the Issaquah Concert on the Green was Kalimba a large band that covers Earth Wind and Fire hits so their Earth portion keeps with the week’s worldly theme. Next on Wednesday was a quartet, Steve Baily and the Blue F ames at the Bellevue

City Plaza that played blues music from around the country with the bass play-er who was

announced as being from Georgia, the country not the state. Thursday saw a Jamaican Reggae quintet the, Longstride performing at the Bellevue Connection. That evening there was a local blues guitarist Nick Vigarino performing at the Issaquah Gas Station Blues series and end-ing up the night was another big band, The Kings of Hollywood an Eagles tribute group performing to those gathered at Sammamish’s Pine Lake. Interesting the same group played Tuesday, August 11 Tuesday at Issaquah’s Concert on the Green. It should be noted that rumors claim the location of the Eagles’ famous “Hotel California” is in the town of Todos Santos on the Pacific side of Baja California, Mexico. So to relate back to music in the shadow of the plateau the lyrics of Hotel California remind us that; “You can check-out any time you like. But you can never leav e! “ So with the variety of worldly musical opportunities in our neighborhood why would we want to leave?

Larry Crandall, Sammamish

Federal, state and local law enforcement o�cials executed search warrants on locations in Bellevue, Seattle, Renton and other local communities on Aug. 5 for the culmination of a 18-month long drug tra�cking investigation.

During the course of the investigation, law enforce-ment o�cials seized more than 29 pounds of meth, more than 18 pounds of heroin, six pounds of cocaine, approximately $178,000 in cash and sixteen �rearms, including �ve assault ri�es.

“Heroin, and meth-amphetamine continue to wreak havoc in our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes in a statement. “I com-mend the law enforcement professionals who inves-tigated this drug tra�ck-ing organization, taking large loads of drugs o� the street, while also gathering key evidence to make these arrests and prosecutions possible.”

Beginning early on Aug. 5, teams of local, state and federal law enforce-ment agents searched over 20 locations across the Puget Sound region. It was the culmination of an 18-month-long investiga-tion of a criminal group with ties to California and Mexico.

“�is investigation is a great example of law enforcement collabora-tion,” said Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole. “�e Seattle Police Depart-ment will continue to work closely with our federal, state and local partners to eliminate the �ow of deadly drugs, such as

heroin and methamphet-amine to our region.”

During the investiga-tion, court authorized wire-taps and extensive surveillance was conduct-ed on alleged members of the group.

Law enforcement o�cers served search warrants on seventeen residences, three storage facilities and more than a dozen vehicles tied to the criminal group. �e facilities were located in Auburn, Bellevue, SeaTac, Seattle, Tukwila, Renton, Port Orchard and Everett.

An indictment and criminal complaints have been �led charg-ing 22 defendants with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances including methamphet-amine and heroin. Some of the defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

�ere were no arrests made in Bellevue, accord-ing to Drug Enforcement Administration spokesper-son Jodi Underwood.

Some of those arrested made their initial appear-ances on the indictments on Aug. 5 in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Others were seen in court over the last week.

Due to the drug quanti-ties involved, some of the defendants face mandatory minimum sentences of ten years in prison.

�e defendants who have already appeared in court at this time entered pleas of “not guilty”, and their trial was set for Sept. 28. �e case is being pros-ecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Vince Lombardi and �omas Woods.

A 20-year-old driver from Medina who was allegedly speeding and talking on his cell phone caused an acci-dent on eastbound I-90 on Aug. 8 that killed one person and injured another.

According to a Washington State Patrol press memo, at 2:10 p.m. a male driver from Medina was traveling eastbound on I-90 near State Route 18 in the le� lane and dri�ed onto the le� shoulder and struck another vehicle, which was driven by a 29-year-old Redmond female. Her deceased passenger, Sohel Ahuja, was identi�ed by the King County Medical Examiner’s o�ce on Monday.

�e Medina man — who witnesses said was driving

with his ‘phone to his ear’ and over the 70 mph speed limit — was arrested for vehicular homicide and ve-hicular assault for driving with disregard for the safety of others, trooper Chris Webb said in a press release.

When o�cers arrived, the female driver was standing outside of her 2008 Honda Civic near mile post 26. She was critically injured and transported to Harborview Medical Center. �e driver of the 2002 Toyota High-lander was uninjured.

�e roadway was partially blocked for approximately two and half hours.

At press time, the cause of the accident and charges are under investigation. �e Washington State Patrol is asking witnesses to call or contact detective Russ Haake at [email protected] or (425) 401-7717.

Bellevue man wins state lottery, shares winnings

A Bellevue man who won close to $200,000 in the lottery plans to share a portion of his winnings with 20 people.

It was announced on Monday, Aug. 10 that the man, identi�ed as John Potts, will divide $20,000 of his winnings between 20 people, giving each $1,000. Lottery spokes-persons were unable to say how Potts would decide on the recipients or the reasoning behind his decision.

Potts won the Washington State Lottery’s Hit 5 contest on July 28. He took home $190,000.

City council approves new comprehensive plan

�e Bellevue City Council approved a new comprehen-sive plan earlier this month that focuses on economic and neighborhood growth, a�ordable housing, housing for seniors, homelessness and diversity.

�e plan anticipates growth of 15,800 housing units and 51,800 jobs by 2035, with the vast majority of growth accommodated through redevelopment downtown and in other mixed-use centers, including BelRed, Eastgate/Factoria and Wilburton. It also includes a new Neighbor-hoods element that creates a “home” for neighborhood items of interest, and frames the neighborhood/subarea area plan update process, now set to begin.

�e comprehensive plan was dedicated to Nan Camp-bell, who served on the City Council for two terms, 1982-1989, and was the city’s �rst woman mayor, 1988-1989.

City Hall’s roof to go green�e city council recently approved the installation of a

“green roof” at City Hall. A layer of soil and vegetation will cover a section of the building’s roof as a pilot project par-tially funded by a $90,000 King Conservation District grant.

‘Green’ roofs slow down and �lter rainwater that would otherwise �ow directly into the storm drains. In addi-tion, the new roof has the potential to reduce heating and cooling costs on the �oor immediately below it by up to six percent.

Buckley Nursery Company will install the soil and vegetation on what is currently 5,000 square feet of gravel-ballasted roof.

A�er months of mystery, Cougar Moun-tain residents have turned to police to �nd out who is purposefully plaguing their roadways with hundreds of nails.

Resident Jo-Ellen Smith said that she has encountered roo�ng nails spread ran-domly in the bike lanes along those roads. “�is is perilous to drivers and even more so to the main cyclists who train on these roads,” she said.

Beginning in May, residents, drivers and cyclists have been countering scores of roo�ng nails on both 168th Place S.E. and S.E. 60th Street.

Close to two dozen people have expe-rienced �at tires a�er driving in the area, and neighbors are collecting nails on daily walks. Signs that neighbors put up to warn drivers about the nails are repeatedly be-ing torn down, said Smith.

�e community thought the issue had resolved itself at the beginning of the summer, only to have the nails begin lit-tering the roadways again over the last few weeks.

“Hundreds of nails at a time don’t just fall o� of a work truck, so we do believe it’s intentional,” said Bellevue Police spokeswoman Amanda Jensen.

�e Bellevue Police are unsure if the target are cars, cyclists, or pedestrians, said Jensen. But, they are now investigat-ing the possibility that the nails are being spread by a community member who is unhappy about planned expansion at the Open Window School, which adjoins both roads.

�e vandalism has reportedly been largely relegated to the two streets, which connect and wrap around the school’s campus. Sta� members and families of children who attend the school have reported nails in their tires, but the school does not feel they are being speci�cally targeted, said Je� Stroebel, head of the Open Window school.

“We are currently asking the City of Bel-levue to approve an increase in our enroll-ment capacity, but the nail drops preceded our request by several months, so we do not feel that they are related,” he said. “�e community notice of our application just went up on August 6; the �rst reports of nails being dropped were in early May.”

While many residents suspected the nails were initially targeted at the large amounts of cyclists training in the area during the summer, Smith said she wouldn’t discount the vandalism being targeted at the school.

“I wouldn’t discount that theory, I

wouldn’t discount anything at this time,” she said. “�ere have been ongoing issues since the school was built with the volume of tra�c and speeding.”

�e police department has checked the school’s security cameras, but has been unable to pinpoint a perpetrator, said Jensen. At this point, they are exploring other options while asking the community to come together and share information.

Residents have taken to the app Next-Door to track nail sightings, in hopes of catching the person responsible.

Until then, Stroebel said the school shares the frustration of the neighbor-hood.

“Most of the drops have been on week-ends, so members of the Cougar Moun-

tain neighborhood have felt the brunt of the damage. We have done a sweep of the road the last several Mondays and found a few nails, but most are being picked up on the weekend,” he said.

�e investigation is ongoing, and police urge anyone with information to come forward.

Seattle University students will soon begin to swarm Downtown Bellevue as the school prepares to open its new Eastside campus location next month.

� e university, which has occupied a space at Belle� eld O� ce Park since 1989, is � nishing up renovations on a new 7,600-square-foot satellite campus for the Albers School of Business and Economics.

“� ere’s a lot of important employers on the Eastside, and a lot of programs in our Bellevue campus are targeted towards business or � nance,” said Joseph Phillips Jr., dean of the Albers School. “� e aspira-

tion of university is to expand programs available on Eastside, and not just for our business programs.”

Located on 112th Avenue N.E., the new facility will be close to the Bellevue Transit Center, which will bring an added conve-nience for students and sta� , said Phillips. It also includes 50 university-designated parking spots, and access to I-405 and WA-520.

Seattle University’s new facility will also include upgraded technology, workspaces and other features.

“� e new facility will have a layout speci� cally designed to meet our program needs, as opposed to the Belle� eld facility that was always a poor match for us as a fa-

cility,” he said. “Obviously, the way technology is used in classrooms is very di� erent now than it was in 1989.”

� e Albers campus will serve close to 100 business students, but the university has plans to expand in the future to serve more busi-ness students and students study-ing other disciplines, said univer-sity spokesperson Dean Forbes.

Representatives from the school would not disclose how much the renovation cost, and would only specify that they are renting the space at 200 112th Ave.

Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of August. � e university will be holding an open house and start classes on the facility’s opening date, Sept. 23.

Interlake High School graduate wins late-notice National Merit Scholarship

Interlake High School graduate Bran-don Wang was awarded a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship a� er an additional award became available.

Approximately 15,00 � nalists were con-sidered for one of the 2,500 $2,500 scholar-ship Wang recieved. He reportedly plans to use his towards a medical degree, although the college he will be attending was not public at press time.


Congressman Dave Reichert reads ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ to a group of young children at KidsQuest in Factoria on Monday, Aug. 10


Dementia is difficult for everyone. There is no question.There is also no question that you are doing everything you can

to help your loved one. But what if there was someone who could really help relieve that stress? Someone who could

provide help for the whole family? Your loved one can still find meaning and contentment in each new day, and you can still

enjoy every moment you have with them. We can help. Call us today for more information or to schedule a private tour.

And, in some ways, an even stronger one to ask for help.

It takes a strong person to care for someone

at Eastgate Public Health Center.Kachi has worked with new mothers in

abusive relationships or in unhealthy liv-ing situations. Others have been addicted to drugs or alcohol, or have postpartum depression. But generally, Kachi is help-ing new mothers, sometimes teenagers, o� en from other parts of the world.

In mild cases, visiting the homes can help correct unadvised or unhealthy be-haviors that mothers may not report to a primary care doctor. In one instance, Ka-chi visited a home where the grandmoth-er had been instructing the new mom

to put her baby to sleep on its stomach, placing it at higher risk for SIDS.

“If we can detect these things early on, that can prevent an emergency room visit,” said Kachi. “A lot of the time, it’s just about educating the clients.”

Clinic services funding programs like MSS and others targeting new-born children through age � ve will be a substantial part of Best Starts for Kids, in accordance with the county’s focus on early prevention and assistance. Local communities will reap the bene� ts, said Hayes.

“Public health is like the grounding you need for everything else to bloom,” she said.

Residents, employees and others who are interested in improving the transportation system in Bellevue are invited to comment on a dra� Transportation Demand Management plan.

� e purpose of the plan is to expand the use of transit, carpooling, vanpooling, walking, biking and teleworking in order to improve the performance of the overall transportation network.

� e TDM dra� includes the results of an online, voluntary, non-scienti� c survey conducted late last year that asked Bellevue residents, workers, employers and property

managers how to encourage alternatives to driving alone. More than 1,600 people re-sponded to the survey. Topics covered include commute programs; individualized commute planning services and incentives for people who try alternative modes and log their trips in an online calendar. � e strategies can help reduce the impact of residential and commer-cial growth on the transportation system, and can help people � nd travel alternatives during construction, such as the East Link light rail project, slated to break ground in 2016, ac-cording to a city press release.

Interested persons may submit comments via email to [email protected] or by calling 425-452-7896. Comments will be incorporated into the � nal plan. � e deadline to submit comments is Aug. 31.

Bulldogs’ diamond summer tradition lives on BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue College Bulldogs baseball Head Coach Mark Yoshino shouted words of encouragement throughout the duration of the Bulldogs’ annual baseball camp this past week at Courter Field.

Yoshino, who has coached the Bulldogs baseball program since the mid-1990s, has proven himself to be a pillar of the baseball world on the Eastside for the past two decades. In the world of col-legiate baseball, many coaches come and go but Yoshino remains a constant in the evolving world of collegiate athletics. Yoshino said this year’s camp, which was for players between seven and 12 years of age, had players in attendance from not only Bellevue but from the Sammamish plateau, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond and West Seattle. � e camp, which is in its 23rd year, focused on the funda-mentals of baseball during the week. � e camp consisted of two three-hour sessions (one in the morning, one in the a� ernoon).

“� ree hours of non-stop baseball instruction for seven to 12-year-olds sometimes can be a little hard but it is what the com-munity has been asking for,” Yoshino said with a smile. “� ere has been a number of kids who have came to this camp when they were eight, nine and 10 years old and now they’re college and

high school superstars. A lot of parents have had generations of kids come through this camp. It has been a staple product on the Eastside.”

One example of this phenomena is Newport Knights 2015 Ethan Paul. Paul, who will play Division-1 baseball at Vander-bilt University in Nashville this coming season, was a regular at the Bulldogs’ camps during his childhood.

“Ethan’s father said their family always remembered Ethan coming to our camps and how it helped out with his baseball career. I remember when we did some donations to Ethan’s el-ementary school when he was in the � � h grade,” Yoshino said.

Yoshino said another added bonus of the camp is watching his current players turn into coaches for the week. A handful of Bulldogs baseball players gladly o� ered their tutelage and expertise to the multitude of campers in attendance.

“Our guys do a great job. What we as a coaching sta� like about it is that our players see things from a coaches perspec-tive,” he said. “It actually makes them better players because they can see things from the other side for a brief moment during the summer.”

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Golf is one of the most humbling sports an indi-vidual can ever partake in.

I golfed a few times in 1991 as a 9-year-old but didn’t pick up the sport con-sistently until the summer of 2008. It was that summer I watched Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate battle for the U.S. Open Championship. Woods, who sunk a di�cult putt on the 18th hole to force a sudden-death playo� hole despite an ailing knee injury, defeated Mediate by one stroke to win his 14th major tournament of his career.

A�er watching Woods’ heroic performance, I decided to give the sport of golf another try. Over the past seven years I have golfed with numerous friends at a wide array of dif-ferent courses in Washing-ton. My best score ever on a course was an 85, which on paper seems legit. In actual-ity though, it occurred on a course where the majority of the holes were par 3’s. I had only hit the links a few times this summer before tackling

Port Orchard’s McCormick Woods golf course earlier this summer.

It was the epitome of a humbling experience. My score was atrocious as I �nished in the triple digits under the sweltering heat of the July sun. My friends didn’t fare too much better on the links. We didn’t have one par between the three of us in 18 holes of golf. I had one bogey and was jovial to have attained that meager goal.

One aspect of golf that keeps not only me, but countless players across the world coming back is the ability to hit a perfect drive, knock down a di�cult putt or connect perfectly while chipping onto the green. In �ve hours of golf if you experience three to �ve pro-�cient shots it just keeps you coming back for more. Golf is a microcosm of life. You can be dominating one mo-ment and the next instance you can �nd yourself in the rough. I plan on continuing to golf for decades to come.


In the Redzone

Golf is enjoyable BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Interlake Saints senior and jack-of-all-trades football player Riley Schroeder will be in the starting lineup for the third consecutive season this fall on the gridiron.

Schroeder, who has played linebacker, cornerback and safety during his high school career thus fall, loves the physical aspect of football more than anything.

“I have always been a hit first, tackle first type of guy. I love hitting people and I love tackling. That is why I love playing safety. You are usually one of the first players to get a chance to hit,” Schroeder said.

Over the summer Schroeder has focused on learning the defensive end position in preparation for the fall.

“We have a lot of depth at defensive back so I have been working on converting to defensive end. It has been a big transition,” he said.

Schroeder, who is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 160 pounds, said opposing offensive lineman underesti-mated him during team camp this summer.

“When they saw this kid my size coming at them they are like what the heck? Then I go in and make some plays and they are just so surprised,” Schroeder said.

The Saints finished the 2014 season with a disap-pointing 3-6 record. Schroeder said the Saints just couldn’t find a way to win close games but expects that to change this coming season.

“It really is all mental. We felt like we’ve had a tal-ented team the last few years but we could just never buckle down and finish games. We just have to execute, limit our turnovers and create turnovers on defense. We have our running back DeJhion Parrish and quar-terback Duncan Varela who are great on offense. They are unstoppable,” Schroeder said. “We are going to be really hard to stop.”

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Schroeder some questions about his life away from the gridiron.

Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of

all time? Riley Schroeder: The Warriors. It is a 1970s movie.

BR: What is something unique about you that no-body would know?

RS: I’m a pretty good singer. I like to sing love songs.

BR: How many text messages do you send per day? RS: Group chats is all that I do.

BR: Who was your idol growing up?RS: Carlos Beltran (Major League Baseball player).

I was always a big New York Mets fan growing up watching baseball. He was always my favorite player. I wanted to be just like him.

BR: What is your dream vacation spot?RS: Probably somewhere in Spain or Brazil.

BR: What is your favorite eatery in Bellevue?RS: Tu Casa. It is a Mexican restaurant that is really

good. It is family owned and they all know my family pretty well.

BR: What is your favorite hobby away from sports?RS: Relaxing, playing music and playing video

games.

BR: Where do you see yourself in five years?RS: Graduating from college.

BR: What is the last concert you have been to?RS: I have never been to a concert in my entire life. I

have always wanted to really bad though.

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

RS: Will Ferrell. I think I would have a great time. He would be so funny.

�e 40-year-old mother of two was head-ing eastbound on State Route 2 in Chelan County near Cashmere, Washington with her children – an 8-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl – when a tire reportedly became dislodged from a boat trailer in front of them.

Morris swerved to avoid the tire and lost control of her vehicle, rolling her Toyota 4Runner o� onto the westbound shoul-der, according to a statement released by Washington State Patrol spokesman Darren Wright.

Her two children, Lukas and Eloise, were injured in the crash and transported to Con�uence Health to receive medical care. All three had been wearing their seat belts.

“�e family is doing as well as you can expect, but it’s been incredibly hard,” said Radvick. “Facebook has been lighting up

with all of these wonderful stories of her. She was a truly beautiful person inside and out.”

Morris was on her way to meet Patrick and another friend, both of whom were her Kappa Delta sorority sisters at Washington State University, at Slidewaters in Chelan.

�e driver of the car with the boat trailer, a 47-year-old Wenatchee man, has not been charged at this time. �e cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Morris grew up in Mercer Island and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1993 before attending WSU. She was the head coach of her daughter’s so�ball team and was an active fundraiser for the Ryther Child Center.

Services will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 14 at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 3730 148th Ave. S.E. In lieu of �owers, memorial donations can be made to support Michael, Lukas, and Eloise by visiting: www.youcaring.com/mike-lukas-and-eloise-morris-410118.

�is is the second of the four-stage water shortage plan. �e �rst step was a water advisory, which issued on July 27. Water consumption across the region did not go down a�er Western Washington o�cials entered the �rst water conservation phase two weeks ago.

�e Alliance’s water shortage plan must move step-by-step, and can only be increased in severity every two weeks. �e soonest the Alliance could move into the mandatory water conservation stage is Aug. 25. While it is not de�nite the Alliance will call for mandatory conserva-tion, it is certainly a possibility, said Elaine Kra�, the intergovernmental and commu-nications director for the Cascade Water Alliance.

“We feel this is really critical,” said Kra�. “It’s not hard things. We’re hoping this 10 percent cut will make a di�erence.”

When asked why the city didn’t ask resi-dents to voluntarily conserve water sooner, Bellevue Utilities spokesman Michael May said that the area had su�cient water reservoir levels this past spring, and did not see an uptick in water usage until this

summer. “We have seen above normal water use

during the months of June and July. �is was not anticipated at the beginning of summer,” he said.

In an email sent in response to concerns voiced by resident Julie Be�a in March, Bellevue’s Utilities Director Nav Otal said that while the snowpack was low, the watershed that feeds the system managed by Seattle Public Utilities (which provides water to the Cascade Water Alliance) had seen close to normal precipitation.

“If current weather patterns persist, SPU’s reservoir re�ll strategy will rely on rain in the latter part of the winter and early spring to achieve reservoir targets,” Otal wrote in an email provided to the Reporter.

May said the decision to require manda-tory curtailment will be made, if necessary, by Seattle Public Utilities.

“If the continued analysis of this data shows that a further reduction in demands is needed, (Seattle Public Utilities) will move to the next step, which is a manda-tory reduction in water use,” said May. “At that point Bellevue, along with Cascade, will likely join Seattle in declaring a mandatory reduction as we are all working together in this regional response.”

said Dr. Trac Duong, Edelman’s doctor and a specialist in Otolaryngology, or ear, nose and throat conditions. “But in the real world, a lot of patients fake it– � ey’ll nod or say yes, or they just won’t engage in the conversation. � ere will be situations they will avoid, social situations, a lot of times. You can only compensate so much before it a� ects your life.”

� ose limitations– the fear that she won’t be able to un-derstand the questions posed to her in a job interview, her mother’s worry that if Edelman has a child, she wouldn’t be able to hear her baby’s cries– are what brought Edelman to Overlake hospital on July 31 for a cochlear implant surgery.

Overlake Hospital is the � rst hospital in Washington to use the new implant. It is also the only hospital on the Eastside and near many Eastern Washington communities to o� er any type of cochlear implant surgery.

A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that can uses a group of electrodes that collects impulses from an external transmitter and sends then to di� erent regions of the auditory nerve, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. � e thin electrode is inserted directly into the spiral-shaped inner ear, bypassing the damaged cells and stimulating the hear-

ing nerve directly. Since they were approved by the FDA in 1984, around

350,000 people worldwide have received cochlear implants. � at includes more than 58,000 adults and 38,000 children.

� e Cochlear Nucleus Pro� le Edelman received is the world’s thinnest cochlear implant– at 3.9 millimeters, it is up to 40 percent thinner than other implant electrodes available on the market.

It’s thin size makes in discrete. A week a� er her surgery, the only signs of Edelman’s implant are the pink marks where her stitches were.

Despite their widespread use, cochlear implants, and Edelman’s decision to get one, are not a given for many deaf people. � ere are those within the deaf community who aren’t fans of the device and have spoken out against them.

“Many within the medical profession continue to view deafness essentially as a disability and an abnormality and believe that deaf and hard of hearing individuals need to be ‘� xed’ by cochlear implants,” o� cials from the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) wrote in a 2000 position paper. “A major reason implantation have been pursued so aggressively by the media, the medical profession, and parents is not simply because of the hoped-for bene� ts that come with being able to hear in a predominantly hearing society, but more because of the perceived burdens associ-ated with being deaf.”

Organizations like the NAD say that there is con-tinued need for education that deaf persons are not

handicapped or second-class citizens. Edelman herself says she has encountered customers at her retail job who have taken her deafness for stupidity.

In her case, Edelman was initially hesitant to have sur-gery on what she felt was the snap-judgement of a doctor she visited in Ellensburg. Having undergone problems with hearing aids that she felt hastened her hearing loss, she sought several other opinions before deciding to receive a cochlear implant.

“Each person has a di� erent opinion about cochlear implants,” she said. “But, I look at my life, and I live in a hearing world. I mean, I’m scared to apply for a job and go on interviews. In the end, it seemed like the right decision.”

While there is no certainty the the implant will work, and if it does, Edelman will have to readjust to understand-ing speech again. But the simple joys are what she and her mother, Kari, are focusing on.

“I can’t wait to get that � rst phone call,” said Kari Edel-man, as she began to tear up. “It’s been so long since we’ve spoken over the phone.”

� is is part one of a two-part series; pick up the Report-er’s Aug. 28 issue for part two.
