Potential muggers, rapists and batterers might just want to avoid the women of Bellevue. About two dozen ladies of a wide range of ages learned how to protect themselves and how to strike back at would-be attackers during a class hosted by the Bellevue Police Department.

The class was taught by Frank Murphy, veteran, martial artist, state police officer and CEO of a protection consulting firm. He was assisted in the training by Bellevue Police Sgt. Mike Hudson.

Susan Rothenberg.

Making her mark

Emily Keener touched up a grape leaf on the mural being painted on two walls of the Pennsylvania Macaroni building in the Strip District. Appropriately, the sun was blazing on this late afternoon scene of sunny Italy: grapes, peppers, pasta, tomatoes and the Italian flag.
