The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center laid off an undisclosed number of employees Wednesday
Many of the cuts were part of a reorganization of the nonprofit’s IT department
according to spokesperson Christina VerHeul
But she said some positions were eliminated as a result of reduced federal funding for HIV-related grants
Andrea Galvan was one of the IT workers Fred Hutch let go this week
She worked as a business systems analyst and estimates that about 30 employees in her department were laid off
“I was envisioning myself retiring with Fred Hutch,” she said

the Eastlake High School and South Bay Composite mountain biking team meets for practice at the Lower Otay Reservoir
They compete against other teams in the Southern California league
you just feel so scared and your heart is beating,” said Delilah Gonzalez
And you just race ahead and you fight to keep that spot.”
The team is open to kids in sixth through 12th grade throughout South San Diego County
Many of the coaches are parents of the athletes
“I don't think there's ever a practice or a team training that I come back from where I'm in a bad mood,” she said
“There's a lot of research about the benefit of being in nature with mental health and emotional well-being,” she said
Olsen said they’re working on building their inventory of bikes they can loan to kids who don’t already have them
making sure they've got a bike that fits,” she said
“We are 100% volunteer and rely on some donations and sponsors to provide some of our kids with bikes who might not have those.”
On Saturday, Ride 4 Autism is hosting a fundraiser for the team
The local group of mountain bike riders began organizing charity events for nonprofits that support the autistic community in 2022
Olsen said proceeds will help pay for things like equipment and team fees
“Our team will be the recipient of those proceeds this year because they've recognized how much our team has done to be really inclusive of kids of all abilities,” she said
Some of the team members are on the autism spectrum
“I like that because I know my muscles are growing.”
I think we should get this ride over with so that I can go home and eat macaroni and cheese,” he said
“A lot of children on the spectrum really do individualized sports
ones that require less interaction,” he said
“A lot of the traditional team sports just really don't work for him

El Paso's District 1-6A high school softball teams were highly competitive throughout the 2025 season
So it was fitting that Eastlake and Pebble Hills had to play Monday night in a play-in game to qualify for the Texas UIL playoffs
in a big 16-3 win that saw the Falcons take control of the game in the second inning
Both teams finished 6-6 in District 1-6A during the regular season and split their two games in district play
Eastlake's offense was key to victoryThe Falcons scored six runs each in the second and seventh innings
Shortstop Alexis Garcia clubbed a three-run homer and added two singles
designated hitter Annahi Valdez had three hits
including a double that drove in three runs in the seventh and third baseman Gabriella Martinez reached base four times
Junior Ava Licerio went all seven innings in the circle and had her best stuff
but was flawless in innings two through five before giving up late runs in the sixth and seventh when the game was no longer in doubt
What did Eastlake coach Ara Corbett say"I thought our team played well and everyone stepped up," Corbett said

Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — A fire was reported at Eastlake High School on Tuesday
According to Fire Chief of Horizon City Kris Menendez the fire happened in the culinary arts building at Eastlake
The cause of the fire is under investigation
No one was in the building and no injuries were reported
As the 2025 regular season races towards its conclusion, the Eastlake High School Falcons find themselves in a battle for playoff contention
and the pressure is on for the Falcons to secure those crucial wins
The Falcons gave themselves some hope Wednesday
by scoring eight runs in the top of the seventh to defeat Montwood
in a District 1-6A showdown at Montwood High School
With five games remaining in district play
the Falcons are within striking distance of earning one of the four playoff spots available
Coronado remains in first with a 10-3 record
Eastlake with its 5-8 mark and Franklin is 3-10
Eastlake plays Eastwood and Socorro on Friday and Saturday
to try to climb even further in the standings
The Falcons forced Montwood to use four pitchers in the seventh inning
Second baseman Cam Montez and third baseman Miguel Maldonado each had doubles
Two errors and a wild pitch also played a critical role in Eastlake's big inning
the Falcons had lost four one run games in district play
"Our kids stayed with it and gave a great effort
The team continues to believe; now we just have to take it one game at a time."

The Eastlake High School boys basketball season is still over
but now the Falcons get to do something few good teams do: end their season with a playoff win
Eastlake's apparent 71-35 loss to Mansfield Lake Ridge in the Class 6A Division I area round of the 2025 Texas UIL basketball championship playoffs on Friday
was changed to a victory by forfeit late Tuesday
when Lake Ridge turned itself in for using an ineligible player against Eastlake
came too late for Eastlake to take Lake Ridge's spot in the playoffs
Lake Ridge's regional semifinal was set for Tuesday night in Arlington against Flower Mound Marcus and was set to tip about four hours before Lake Ridge announced its forfeit
Eastlake found out about the forfeit around 3:30 p.m
Tuesday and reserved a bus in hopes of arranging a neutral site game against Marcus
The deadline for certifying regional semifinal winners was Tuesday night
the regional semifinal had to be played on Tuesday or earlier
"There is no way for us to get up and play the next game," Socorro ISD athletic director Steve Nunn said
we were not able to play in that next game
"El Paso being a little removed from the rest of the state made it difficult for us to get arrangements made
Nunn said if Eastlake had been notified Monday about Lake Ridge's forfeit
every effort would have been made to schedule a Tuesday playoff game
"The more time we would have been given from the other team would have been better," Nunn said
"I don't want to speak for the UIL on what would have had to happen to make that date happen
It was the second-place team in District 1-6A

2024 – Fred Hutch Cancer Center finalized an agreement with an affiliate of Alexandria Real Estate Equities
(NYSE: ARE) to acquire 1165 Eastlake Avenue East and enter into a joint venture partnership for a 70% interest in 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East that will add more than 300,000 square feet of research
lab and adaptable space to its South Lake Union campus
The acquisition will enable Fred Hutch to expedite planned research expansion faster than constructing a new building and avoid disruption to its labs currently leasing space in 1201 (the Steam Plant) and 1208 Eastlake
The decision aligns with the organization’s sense of urgency to rapidly advance research and care
“We know that every day matters to those facing life-threatening illnesses,” said Thomas J
Fred Hutch president and director and holder of the Raisbeck Endowed Chair
“This opportunity allows us to swiftly advance our research
expand our South Lake Union campus in the heart of Seattle’s life science and biotech community
and preserve space in the center of campus for future needs including clinical care
all in a way that is extremely cost-effective.” He added
“We appreciated the collaborative relationship with Alexandria as we explored and finalized this important agreement that will support our mission to prevent
treat and cure cancer and infectious disease.”
“Alexandria has been at the forefront of cultivating a world-class life science cluster in Seattle since entering the region in 1996 through our acquisition and leaseback of the original Fred Hutch campus
which marked the beginning of our longstanding strategic relationship with Fred Hutch,” said Hart Cole
executive vice president – capital markets/strategic operations and co-regional market director – Seattle of Alexandria Real Estate Equities
“Fred Hutch is an important innovation engine in the Seattle life science market
and we are pleased to enable their growth and deepen our relationship as they expand their South Lake Union campus within the Alexandria Center for Life Science – Eastlake mega campus ecosystem.”
While the acquisition is a pivot from Fred Hutch’s original plan to construct the new Stuart and Molly Sloan Precision Oncology Institute Building on its existing South Lake Union campus
the strategic investment will save more than $300 million in capital costs
Earmarked to support the new building was a large portion of a $78 million gift from Stuart and Molly Sloan and a $225 million gift from the Bezos family
Fred Hutch immediately engaged the donors when the opportunity for acquisition became available and gained their support
“This acquisition is an extraordinary opportunity for Fred Hutch,” said Stuart Sloan
“We are in full support of this investment because it advances the researchers and their work to help cancer patients around the world
I’ve long believed that miracles come from the labs.”
With the strategic shift from new to existing infrastructure
Fred Hutch is working with the Bezos family to evolve the Anniversary Challenge and inspire gifts of $1 million or more in support of this acquisition and scientific priorities
“This is an amazing opportunity to accelerate not only the growth of Fred Hutch’s campus but also the important science discoveries and the recruiting efforts supported by these new buildings
Because advancing discoveries places us that much closer to a cancer free future
we continue to think investing in Fred Hutch’s vision is important,” said Mike Bezos
“We are delighted to continue to support the Anniversary Challenge and that others will be invited to join us in facilitating this important work
Fred Hutch Cancer Center unites individualized care and advanced research to provide the latest cancer treatment options while accelerating discoveries that prevent
treat and cure cancer and infectious diseases worldwide
nonprofit organization and the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington

Ohio (WOIO) - Eastlake firefighters are battling a blaze Friday afternoon on Vine Street
It’s happening at a building on Vine Street near East 363rd Street
traffic is blocked to Vine Street from East 361st and East 364th streets
A business located in a residential home in Eastlake caught fire Friday afternoon near East 63rd and Vine streets
according to the Eastlake Police Department
Police said the fire shut down traffic on Vine Street from East 361st Street to East 364th Street
He got here relatively fast," said Eastlake Fire Chief Ted Whittington
so we implemented all of our plans when we declare a working fire."
The police chief explained that crews initiated a fire attack in the basement and did some work outside the building because the fire was going through the walls
"The way that the building has been constructed
the fire actually got behind the walls and ran up the walls," Whittington said
Whittington says one person was in the building at the start of the fire
"She was able to get out by herself," Whittington said
There were no reported injuries and no damages to any business vehicles
The first floor has heavy smoke damage but no fire damage
and the second floor has some smoke damage there," said Whittington
"We're hoping that we can get these businesses up and running as soon as we possibly can."
The cause of the fire remains under investigation
The much-anticipated rematch between Eastlake High School and Odesa Permian in Friday's Class 6A
Division 1 UIL football playoff game didn't offer the same dynamics as the regular season meeting
Odessa Permian won a thrilling back-and-forth showdown
the Panthers scored 21 first-quarter points and thwarted every Eastlake comeback in winning
The Panthers are 8-3 overall and snapped a three-game losing streak with the win
The Panthers have won seven last playoff games vs
Eastlake and Odessa Permian were meeting in the playoffs for the first time
It is a good team," Odessa Permian coach Jeff Ellison said
Getting out to the early lead was big for us."
Odessa Permian wins first halfThe Panthers took a 21-0 lead into halftime as they executed better than the Falcons
the Panthers had a 7-0 lead on a 75-yard kickoff return for a score by Tyran Williams
who also ran back a kickoff for a score in the first meeting between the two teams
Gavin Black scored on a 56-yard touchdown run
and quarterback Jakob Garcia connected with Cameron Mattingly on a 12-yard touchdown pass
Eastlake had opportunities to score but turned the ball over on downs three times in Permian territory at the five-yard line
The Falcons also punted twice in the first half
The Falcons scored 21 points in the second half on two touchdown passes by Luke Lomeli to Chris Garcia and an impressive 23-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Jossue Herrera
who could be a future star for the Falcons
two turnovers forced by the Panthers turned out to be big plays
Linebacker Ian Rylee intercepted a Lomeli screen pass and went 32 yards for a score and a 28-7 lead and that proved too much for the Falcons to overcome
Defensive back Caleb Cruz also intercepted a pass right after Eastlake had recovered a fumble and the interception led to three Permian points
Black added a short touchdown run and Iker Munoz added two field goals for the Panthers

many residents in the Eastlake area of Chula Vista could see the flames of the Border 2 Fire from their front yard while others watched the blaze grow from Mountain Hawk Park
Local neighbors and even fire officials called all the rain a big help
"Definitely when we saw the rain in the forecast
who has lived in the Eastlake community for 20 years
The rainfall brought a sense of relief for many residents who were concerned about how close the Border 2 Fire was coming
it's been tough on a lot of families out here
especially for the community," said resident Nathanael Leaana
but just not knowing what the future holds … thank God for the rain."
His family shared photos from their front yard when the Border 2 Fire first ignited on Thursday
a much different view and not a flame in sight
Leaana said all of the rain was long overdue
"It's probably been almost a year; it's been very dry,” he said
The change in weather conditions has allowed many in Eastlake to breathe a sign of relief
"It was amazing to watch but terrifying," said Russell
"But I think everyone's glad to know that it's definitely more under control today and the air feels way better and breathing
"We can't underestimate how valuable and how thankful we are to have the firefighters
but from other areas coming in to help fight these fires
it's very appreciated and amazing to watch them doing their work,” Leaana said
But like many coaches - and former high-level athletes - Herd sought out a greater challenge
A week ago, Herd, 34, accepted the head job at Eastlake High School
who returned to Arizona after two seasons at the helm
bringing home a pair of 3A NPSL championships
he goes to arguably the premier football league in the state - the 4A KingCo - home to a mixture of established coaches (Tom Bainter at Bothell
Torrey Myers at North Creek) and promising first-timers (Peyton Pelluer at Skyline
which is also in the league's top division
"There are some really top-tier programs here
The former FCS national champion at Eastern Washington University was an assistant coach at North Thurston
Silas and Steilacoom (where he coached projected high NFL Draft pick Emeka Egubuka
of Ohio State) before taking over at Auburn Riverside
Herd wasn't necessarily looking for another job
but was scrolling social media during the winter and saw Hare was leaving Eastlake
he was in contact with Eastlake athletic director Sara Goldie about the job
then went through a round of interviews March 5
Besides the school's winning tradition
what also sold Herd on the job was the overall support for Wolves' football - something he saw first-hand when he came up for a non-league game
the booster club and everything that was going on - it is supported by the community," Herd said
"With lots of success comes lots of expectations
Herd is also taking the coaching job without a teaching job attached to it
He is also renting out his house so he can move to Sammamish
so I am taking a leap of faith," Herd said
this is a top-10 program in the state."

EASTLAKE, Ohio — Eastlake's mayor is off the job following a recent News 5 Investigation
People questioned whether Mayor David Spotton was allowed to have two full-time jobs
one being the mayor and he's also an officer at Lakeland Community College
Concerns popped up at previous city council meetings about Spotton's mayoral schedule
Spotton said publicly he was working his 40 hours full-time
but questions continued about tracking his hours and time spent at his office
He penned a resignation letter saying in part that Eastlake City Council is "more interested in their own agenda…than the greater long term good….” He accused council of trying to "destroy (his) life's long work and reputation…" and called members "selfish.”
Eastlake Councilperson Chris Krajnyak said she was disappointed with the letter
“And him focusing on council and the personal attacks… however
and I think it speaks volumes,” she told us
She was one of the vocal opponents of Spotton
She told us the charter says the mayor isn't allowed to have additional employment
“Our position was very different,” said Krajnyak
“It was simply to uphold the law to make sure that our charter was being followed
and because Spotton was not elected when he took over for the previous mayor
I'm the one who gives the opinion,” said Klammer at a recent council meeting
“the word 'elected' includes an appointed person as the position would have been an elected position."
“I believe that (Klammer) was misguided in his legal opinion,” said Krajnyak
Former Council President James Overstreet has been sworn in as Eastlake's new mayor
“Still trying to wrap my head around it,” said Overstreet
“What did you think about the law director's position (on Spotton)?” we asked
“I agreed with it and so did the other council member that is also an attorney,” said the new mayor
When we asked him about the charter section XI-3
“I'm not going to split hairs over [Klammer’s] decision.”
Overstreet said he wants to help move the city past this controversy
“I’m hoping this will all stop,” he told us
the back-and-forth bickering,” said Overstreet
Councilperson Krajnyak said she thinks Overstreet will do a great job
I know he understands the position that we're in and I know that we'll be able to work together,” said Krajnyak
“And I think it's important for council to also learn to work together.”
It's important to note that we reached out to Spotton and Klammer
Finance Director Schindel Subject: Mayor Resignation
It has come to pass that there are people on this council that are more interested in their own agenda
and Facebook Likes rather than the greater long term good for the residents
8 years as a council person and now 8 months as the Mayor
I am proud of my record that we were able to accomplish
with the help of a good team which included some of council along with Mayor Morley
2016 when I was elected the City was not in good shape finically and with a great team led by Mayor Morley we are able to right the ship
We corrected the down ward trajectory of the finances
made the compensation more in line to industry standards in all departments
replace man power and equipment that was gutted by past admissions
We also invested in quality of life projects like the splash park
I will not let members of this council continue to try and destroy my life's long work and reputation of doing the right thing with honor and integrity
These people do not live by a code and don't have any interest of being part of a winning team
I stepped up in the time of loss and need for the greater good of the City
This is a sacrifice of my time with my family and friends that
I will not be party to the circus that these selfish people are engaging in
it has been and honor to follow Mayor Morley and serve as Mayor of City
who have been a great help while in the Mayor's office
while being a 3rd generation lifelong resident with sadness and disappointment I am resigning the position as the Mayor the City of Eastlake effective end of day Sept 23
I can no longer serve the residents without an all-in team approach from this council
who are more interested in attacking me rather than moving the City forward

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Ohio — A shouting match erupted at a recent Eastlake City Council meeting
At issue: concerns about Mayor David Spotton working two full-time jobs
it all started with an anonymous letter we received outlining concerns about Mayor Spotton
“How many hours does he really spend at the city?”
not one we talked to knew the mayor is working two full-time jobs
“Is it surprising to know that he’s doing two jobs?” we asked
She told us she lives in Eastlake and said the city wants the full focus of its top leader
“We’re expecting him to be our mayor,” said Matty
“The city has problems that need the mayor’s time.”
Former Mayor Dennis Morley died last year. The city’s charter states the City Council President “shall become mayor for the unexpired term.” Spotton was council president, and he took over in early January this year.
The city’s charter also states the “mayor shall be a full-time mayor and shall not hold any other…private employment…” and the “elected mayor shall divest of any business within six months….”
Mayor Spotton works full time for the Lakeland Community College Police Department. School records show during the first several months of this year, Mayor Spotton took numerous police day-shifts with some hours during what would normally be considered business hours of the City of Eastlake.
Then in June, he switched to the overnight shift from 11 PM to 7 AM, which he currently works, and records show he is paid more than $70,000 a year for the Lakeland job.
“He’s violating the charter, clearly violating the charter,” said former Eastlake Mayor Ted Andraejewski. “People telling me and other people of Eastlake knowing, you can’t get a hold of (Spotton),” said Andraejewski. “Doesn’t return phone calls, doesn’t answer emails. You go to city hall, there’s nobody in his office. Where is he?”
Andraejewski even spoke up at a March city council meeting. “When is this all going to be straightened out?” he said while standing at the podium. “Just let the people of Eastlake know what’s going on.”
We asked Mayor Spotton for an on-camera interview. We were told he was not available before our deadline on this story.
He did speak up during the council meeting on August 27. “I’ve dedicated my life to service, helping others and doing the right thing. There’s no way I would do anything without the direction of lawyers and in this case the law director,” said Spotton.
Eastlake’s Law Director Randy Klammer said he’s done an analysis on the city’s charter, and because it says the “elected mayor shall divest…” then Spotton is free to have two full-time jobs because Spotton was appointed, not elected.
There were questions from council at that August 27 meeting. “He works all night and then comes in here, which our charter and the people of the city of Eastlake have said we want a full-time mayor because we deserve it,” said one member.
The argument rang loudly between the law director and a council person.
“I have residents who are going to look to me for answers,” said Klammer.
“No, I think… you’re confused about that. They’re looking to us for answers,” said the council person.
“If the mayor is getting his full-time salary, it’s because he’s doing a full-time job,” Klammer shouted.
In addition to his Lakeland job at $70,000+, Eastlake’s city records show Spotton is paid $60,000 for being mayor, and he’s also the city’s Safety Director for another $30,000. So, the Eastlake total is $90,000 a year.
During the meeting, Spotton said he keeps a tally of his mayoral hours, and it’s more than 40 per week.
Klammer has told News 5 there’s no official tracking of hours for the mayor’s position because a mayor’s schedule calls him to various events and duties beyond normal city office hours.
“I am continuing to give this city everything I have and make it the best place to work, play, and live,” said Spotton during the meeting.
“Do we have a mayor or do we not have a mayor?” asked Andraejewski during our interview. “Is he working full time? Is he working part time?”
For Matty, she had these words for Spotton. ”Don’t be the mayor if you want to have two jobs,” she said.
Mayor Spotton’s term won’t be up until the end of next year.
There’s another Eastlake City Council meeting tonight at 7.
Wind gusts of 30+ mph along with afternoon and evening blowing dust, could reduce visibility.

Eastlake resident Robert Hocevar was indicted on 26 counts
across five Cuyahoga County cities.Plain Dealer file photo
.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By David Gambino, cleveland.comCLEVELAND
Ohio - An Eastlake man accused of using security cameras he installed at Cuyahoga County businesses to menace and harass women was indicted on Friday
A county grand jury charged Robert Hocevar
menacing by stalking with sexual motivation and telecommunications harassment
State incorporation papers show Hocevar owns Elite Technology
a business that places alarm and camera systems in offices and homes
Prosecutors said Hocevar installed cameras at businesses in Lakewood
Westlake and Mayfield Heights and maintained access to them to spy on seven women
he then used different phone numbers to send the victims sexually explicit messages
I’ll wait for you,” one of the messages said
Prosecutors said other messages were sexually graphic
Some of the victims also discovered sex toys left by Hocevar at their places of employment
“This sexual deviant used his profession to stalk and harass women,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said
“He has previously been convicted three times for the same behavior
and he clearly remains a danger to our community.”
The offenses took place between February 2021 and January 2025
Court records show Hocevar has a history of similar offenses in Cuyahoga County
He pleaded guilty to menacing by stalking in 2020 and was sentenced to six months in prison
he was given a 12-month sentence for telecommunications harassment
he pleaded no contest to menacing by stalking and telecommunications harassment
Prosecutors said if Hocevar is convicted of menacing by stalking with a sexual specification
he will have to register as a sex offender
