Planned ziplines will enhance already exciting Bellevue Challenge Course

T

ucked deep in the woods behind the South Bellevue Community Center is an area that in a few years time may be just as popular locally as downtown or the Crossroads Mall.

As early as next spring, Bellevue may be home to King County’s first zipline network. Thrill seekers will not have to drive all the way to Camano Island or Port Orchard to scream through Washington State’s beautiful tree canopy. A short drive to Eastgate Park and the South Bellevue Community Center, followed by a quick but arduous jaunt up a sawdust hill leads to an adventure wonderland.

The planned ziplines will join a surging ropes course that will see more availability to the public this year.

The zipline network will allow participants to zig zag through the canopy at Eastgate Park, bypassing trails and the ropes course, eventually ending where they began, in the parking lot of the South Bellevue Community Center.

Ziplines have long been a dream of park planners, said Brad Bennett, manager of the community center. “What we’re designing is an aerial adventure,� Bennett said. “You’re high up in the trees traversing from tree to tree and platform to platform.�

Ideas for this urban adventure park have floated around since the mid ‘90s, but when the ropes course opened in 2006, a year after the community center, the possibility of a zipline network increased.

The project is in its infancy stages, Bennett said, and much SEE ZIPLINE, 9

A section of West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, closed to vehicles since a Jan. 22 mudslide, will not reopen for six to nine weeks, Bellevue officials said.

West Lake Sammamish Parkway will remain closed from Northeast Second Street at Northup Way to Southeast 26th Street until late March, early April. From the south end, drivers will be detoured to Southeast 26th Street, leading to 168th and 164th avenues Southeast. From the north end, drivers will be detoured to Northup Way and Northeast Eighth Street. Local access only is permitted between Northeast Second and Southeast 26th streets.

No one was hurt in the mudslide but four properties were damaged.

The City Council declared a state of emergency Monday to help speed up repairs to the water main break and the surrounding roads.

The city has signed several consultants to help with the work, with three contracts totaling approximately $105,000. According to figures listed by the city, the reconstruction of the roadway embankment will cost between $350,000 and $1.5 million, depending on the scope of work.

Although it has not been determined whether the water main break caused the mudslide or the mudslide caused the water main break, the city has acknowledged responsibility and will help owners restore their properties. Those costs are not yet known. “Our crews plan to work as quickly as possible to reopen a roadway that is safe and

Burning boxes lead to house fire

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

A man was taken to Harborview Medical Center after suffering minor burns in a Newcastle house fire Feb. 3.

The blaze in the threestory home on the 6400 block of Lake Washington Boulevard Southeast began at approximately 1:30 p.m., Bellevue Fire Department spokesman Lt. Troy Donlin said. The owner of a Shell station nearby noticed smoke, and heard a detector go off. The owner saw people fleeing the home.

Inside at the time were a man and his 22-year-old

daughter. The daughter made it safely out of the home. The man suffered burns, and later was found in the parking lot of the Shell station.

“Somehow, the owner of the home ended up in his vehicle with burn injuries, and then he became unresponsive,” Donlin said.

Fire officials were unsure why the man was unresponsive, but it wasn’t for medical reasons, Donlin said. Neighbors who helped the man out of the house said they couldn’t locate any burns.

The daughter escaped from the first floor of the

home unarmed.

Donlin said the fire sparked when the man was burning boxes in a fire place in a sun room.

“The stack of boxes ready to be burned was too close and it caught fire due to radiant heat,” Donlin said.

The fire spread throughout the home and burnt the contents of the second and floor, though the structure of the house remained sound.

The man’s wife was away at Bellevue Square at the time of the fire, Donlin said.

EDITORIAL

or all our readers who use our online calendar – help has arrived. The Reporter has a new online calendar for the public to use.

It might seem strange that an online calendar would be a topic for an editorial, but people – lots of them – called and wrote us when our former calendar stopped working some weeks back.

The problem has been fixed with the old calendar replaced by an entirely new system that offers users more options to get their events out to the public.

One of the best improvements is that people do NOT need to register for an account to use it. You just add events with a single form and a confirmation email. Super easy.

Another new feature is that all of the event listings will be visible and promoted on all pages of our online site – not just the home page. And you’ll be able to add events the calendar to your personal online calendar (Google, Yahoo, iCal, Outlook, etc.). You’ll also be able to share events on social networks.

Finally, you will be able to target your calendar item to specific categories, newspapers and age groups.

Now for a couple of minuses.

Current calendar events will NOT be imported to the new system. That means you’ll have to repost upcoming items.

And all submitted items will have to be approved by the editor. But don’t worry, approval should be very quick. I’ll get a daily email reminding me to check for new items. You should find your item online within 48 hours of when you entered it.

We love the online calendar and, like you, have been frustrated about it not working. That problem now is over. Get those calendar items back online.

Do it yourself Once again, the state’s Democrat and Republican parties want taxpayers to shell out for what essentially is a private issue – election of their party precinct committee officers.

Both have filed a lawsuit asking that the state be ordered to continue conducting PCO elections as part of the Top 2 Primary ballot.

The court should say “no.”

The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are private associations. While the state has allowed the election of precinct committee officers to be put on ballots in the past, it doesn’t have to, according to a U.S. District Court ruling.

And Secretary of State Sam Reed makes a good point that “county election offices do not conduct elections for other private associations, such as Rotary clubs, unions, or trade associations.”

If political parties don’t like that, they can find a way different from the Primary ballot – and at their own expense.

More on marriage A thumbs up for the Eastside senators (all of them) who voted to approve same-sex marriages.

Those on the right side of history are: 5th District – Sen. Cheryl Pflug, (R-Maple Valley); 41st District – Sen. Steve Litzow, (R - Mercer Island); 45th District –Sen. Andy Hill, (R - Redmond); and 48th District – Sen. Rodney Tom, (D-Medina).

Community councils So here comes another attempt at changing community council rules. Yes, I’m biased.

I served for 15 years on the Bellevue’s Sammamish Community Council, and it was, sadly in my mind, voted out of existence. But, it was done so by the people living within its boundaries.

We often not-so-jokingly referred to our most important mission as protecting its residents from the Bellevue City Council. The idea that a resident who doesn’t have something.i.e., a community council, doesn’t want anybody else to have one, either, is difficult to sustain. I have no doubt that if residents of the entire city are allowed to vote, the East Bellevue Community Council will join the small list of government ideas that actually worked well, but couldn’t survive what amounts to jealousy by others.

I agree with those who say the best government is the most local government. I have argued in public meetings and in television interviews for the continuance of community councils, and would welcome a change in the law that would allow more to be created. That’s just the opposite direction from where we seem to be heading.

Don Riggs, Bellevue

Marriage debate Reflecting on the marriage equality debate and passage in the Washington state Senate: While I am extremely gratified that this important evolution of equality is mov-

ing forward in our society, I am more impressed with the civility, grace, dignity and respect demonstrated by those on both sides of the aisle. This is the behavior I want to see more of in all aspects of our society, but even more in our government and our elected officials.

I submit that some candidates, particularly in the recent primaries on the national scene, have already disqualified themselves by this standard.

I will strive to keep this example before my eyes as I exercise my citizenship, and as I interact with others. I hope I see these same behaviors continue in the rest of the legislative session in Olympia as we wrestle with other issues facing our state.

Maybe we can demonstrate to Washington. D.C., too.

Sharon Taubel, Bellevue

HOV lanes?

Prior to the Prop One vote in 2008, Sound Transit promised “Travel times across I-90 for vehicles would also improve or remain similar with East Link.” East Link would add a fourth lane for HOV traffic to the outer bridges to make up for the center bridge closure for light rail.

The Washington State Department of Transportation presumably has the responsibility for certifying the modified outer bridge has adequate capacity for current and future vehicular traffic before allowing ST to shut down the center bridge.

Common sense would dictate that Sound Transit and the DOT work together

to quickly demonstrate the modified outer bridges meet these requirements. An early bridge modification immediately eases the congestion cross-lake commuters have already endured for far too long. An early DOT certification of the modified outer bridges’ capacity for future vehicle traffic minimizes money spent on light rail if the resulting congestion is excessive.

Yet, their current East Link plan delays adding the HOV lanes until at least 2015. Both organizations should be asked to explain the delay.

Bill Hirt, Bellevue

State spending A few weeks ago the State Auditor uncovered thousands of dollars in excessive costs for cell phones provided to state employees. Now the auditor has uncovered millions of dollars wasted on legal bills for sex predators.

Why does it take the auditor, with limited resources, to uncover wasteful spending?

Where is our leadership in Olympia? Why is the governor’s office not managing the resources provided by our tax dollars? Why is the legislative body not providing oversight and fixing broken laws that allow such wasteful spending?

How much more wastefulness is happening?

We don’t have a revenue problem that needs to be fixed by increased taxes, we have a spending problem, and until our elected officials get that fixed, don’t impose nor ask the taxpayers to increase taxes.

WSDOT studying 520 bridge toll billing issues with the weather.�

Toll system engineers found that the toll equipment’s internal clock was intermittently losing time and re-synching to the correct time. They updated the software on the SR 520 toll readers, Jan. 26, to fix the problem.

However, they found that the timing issue started, Jan. 17, and some drivers with Good To Go! passes may have been incorrectly charged. “Some customers may see a series of accurate transactions followed by incorrect charges, such as an additional 25-cents Pay

WSDOT will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the fix and will continue to identify customers who may have been incorrectly billed.

Stone said the state will not charge the

Pay By Plate fee to SR 520 drivers during the week it had the billing issue. If a customer crossed the bridge between Tuesday, Jan. 17, and Wednesday, Jan. 25, the state either will credit back their account or not charge the 25-cent fee.

Drivers who crossed the SR 520 bridge between Jan. 17 and 25 should check their account and call the customer center if they have questions. WSDOT is working to correct the billing errors on the accounts and customers may notice a delay in billing as WSDOT performs quality checks. “We held back the transactions as soon as we realized there was a serious problem and are working to fix the accounts that already were billed. We ask for customers’ patience as we correct the billing issues.�

Executive: County getting back on its feet financially

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

King County is finally on stable financial footing, Executive Dow Constantine said at his second State of the County Address Monday.

A chipper Constantine extolled the virtues of the Eastside in his speech, which was held at Bellevue City Hall.

The growth of Bellevue over the last decade is proof that employers want to be in the region. “If we keep doing our jobs, the jobs will come to King County,� he said.

Constantine touched on many topics in his half-hour speech, including King County’s financial position, transportation, climate change and leadership. He was proud of his accomplishments entering his third year on the job. He said he helped reform spending to make sure services aren’t cut every year.

Comparing himself to Brad Pitt’s portrayal of Oakland A’s General Manager Billy Beane, Constantine spoke of the need to do more with less. Unlike past years, when the county operated like the New York Yankees - high payroll and expenses Constantine said the jurisdiction will

be known for its ability to find and operate efficient programs.

Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee lauded the executive’s performance in fixing the county’s spending methods. “We’re very proud of the accomplishments he has made in such a short time, especially in areas of cost control,� Lee said. “It’s been a long time since King County has operated in the black.�

Constantine said he has worked to speed up permitting processes and turn the experience from a complaint by nearly everyone, to a convenience, maybe even a compliment.

Of course, many of the improvements in jobs, permitting processes and other aspects, can only work so well if people can’t get around. Transportation is at the top of Bellevue’s priority list, and the county’s as well. Constantine showed excitement about the extension of lightrail to the Eastside, of which he has been a primary backer, and the completion of a region-wide system. He was impressed by the push to make sure the area didn’t lose bus service by passing a new $20 car-tab fee.

Cities and the county must fight to get the money they need for transit to make sure that people can get back to

“Go Red For Women� was created by the American Heart Association in 2004 to call attention to the fact that heart disease is not just a disease for older men. As noted on its website, “More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined.� In fact, in the year in which “Go Red For Women� was created, cardiovascular disease was killing nearly a half-million women in the U.S. annually. Funds raised for the “Go Red For Women� are used to support awareness, scientific research, education and community programs to benefit women. The AHA “Go Red For Women� website reports that “over 2 million women have learned their personal risk of developing heart disease by taking the Go Red Heart CheckUp,� and “over 200,000 healthcare provider offices have received critical patient information on women and heart disease.�

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA Bellevue Reporter

work, he said. “We need long-term transportation funding to keep our buses on the road, and our economic recovery going,� he said.

Among the proudest of Constantine’s accomplishments was the elimination of a pair of outdated and clunky payroll computer systems that run programs from the 1970s. These two programs came to be when the county united with the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle following a public vote. Many have tried and failed to update these programs, and many budgeting functions had to be done by hand. Constantine unfurled a mountain of paperwork that represented King County’s purchase orders - not from the 1980s, but from last month - to the surprise and humor of many in attendance. “Today, I’m pleased to say that the Accountable Business Transformation project – ABT for short – has gone live, replacing 1970s business practices and 1960s computer code with 21st century efficiency – one, modern, efficient, business backbone.�

The Bellevue School Board may be seriously considering one or more candidates to be the new superintendent.

While the board’s 7:45 a.m. meeting earlier this morning at the Educational Service Center happened after the Bellevue Reporter’s deadline, schools spokesperson Jacque Coe said Thursday that the board may go public with its intentions toward specific applicants today.

One of these candidates may be Susan Enfield, current Seattle schools supt., who initially went head-to-head with Amalia Cudeiro for the Bellevue position in 2009. Enfield sent the school board a letter of interest after Cudeiro resigned Jan. 31.

One of the reasons to speed up the superintendent search process is that nearby districts are also hiring.

The school board made the decision to possibly go public with its endorsement of specific candidates at the first of three public input sessions Wednesday night.

Familiarity with Washington State, having a strong presence in Olympia, valuing cultural diversity, and possessing a personable, approachable nature were some of the themes that parents and teachers said that they wanted in the new superintendent.

Community members still have a chance to provide input as the school board makes its decision. Information gathered from the input sessions will be taken into consideration when the board is evaluating candidates.

The sessions will be: - 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 14 at the Wilburton Instructional Center’s board room, 12241 Main St., Bellevue.

- 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 16 at Sammamish High School Performing Arts Center, 100 140th Ave. SE, Bellevue.

If you would like to support QFC’s charity of the month you can do so by asking your QFC checker to scan a $1, $5, or $10 donation card, designate that your 3-cent reusable bag credit be donated or simply place your extra change in our coin boxes.

At QFC we believe that everyone’s health is important and during 2012 we are actively encouraging our associates to make choices to lead healthier lifestyles. One of the ways we are doing that in 2012 is by offering our associates several walking challenges. Walking is a great low-impact form of exercise that can provide a host of great benefits. Studies have shown that walking can strengthen men and women’s hearts to decrease the risk or occurrence of cardiac events. It has also been associated with stronger bones, a slower decline in cognitive ability, reduced risk of developing diabetes, improved fitness and physical function and more!

Walking is a form of exercise that most people are able to engage in even if they must start with short sessions.

there. If they sign up for 300,000 steps, this would translate to 30,000 steps a week, or 6,000 steps a day for five days per week. 6000 steps would translate to about a 3-mile walk. Associates may change their goals at any time during the challenge. If you would like to embrace a healthier lifestyle, you might consider creating your own walking challenge.

Bills could create and fund drug disposal programs

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

Local and state law enforcement officials are lining up behind a bill that would help people get unused prescription drugs out of their medicine cabinets.

Senate Bill 5234 would create a nonprofit organization that collects, transports and disposes of drugs from residents.

The new nonprofit would be funded by the pharmaceutical companies, with its board of directors as representatives of various drug companies.

The bill would take this job from federal and local authorities. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies has hosted a number of National Take Back Days, in which people bring their unused prescriptions for safe removal.

Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo said the city has staffed and participated in three such days, but that is not nearly enough. As much as Pillo would like to run her own take back program, declining revenue has made that impossible, leaving it up to private sources. “We’re losing resources every year, and to then add a take back program where we have to dispose of drugs at hazardous waste sites, we just don’t have enough resources to do that,� Pillo said.

Drug take-back bills are nothing new in the state Legislature. In three consecutive sessions lawmakers have put forth such a bill, only to see it fail. SB 5234 did not make it out of the Senate Rules Committee last year. The State

Free Initial Exam Dr. Rod Nordberg Orthodontist for Children & Adults

House presented a companion bill, 1370, that attempts to form a similar program.

For proponents of the bill, drug disposal is both a health issue, and an environmental one. Margaret Shields, policy liaison for the Local Hazardous Waste Program, said unused medicine can often fall into the hands of teenagers, and lead to overdoses. Chief Pillo said nearly half of the 37,000 annual calls to the State Poison Control Center involve kids poisoned by household prescriptions. Additionally, medicine thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet can seep into drinking water.

Law enforcement officials and proponents of the bill worry that these drugs will be swiped from medicine cabinets and sold on the street. “Let’s face it, if Grandma has them in the medicine cabinet - maybe vicodins, oxycodones - some young man or woman in the household doesn’t need them but sure would like them,� said 37th District Sen. Adam Kline (DSeattle). “And they get to the high school, they get out to sale, they’re in the black market, they’re all over.�

Many pharmaceutical companies have fought these bills, arguing that they can lead to drug theft, and they have not decreased the number of deaths due to overdose or helped water quality. “I’m all about trying to solve this problem,� said State Sen. Jim Kastama (D-Puyallup). “But if I’m going to ask someone to spend a potential hundreds of thousands of dollars, I want to be able to say to the public that this is actually going to be able to make a difference. I’ve asked for this now for probably three years and no one can show that it actually makes a tangible difference.�

The bill is awaiting a vote in the Senate Rules Committee. Supporters are confident that this is the year it will be passed. A new provision caps the cost to companies at $2.5 million, or Shields said, one penny for every $16 in sales.

ARE TOOTH IMPLANTS APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN? When children lose permanent teeth due to accidents or sports-related injury, the teeth can sometimes be re-implanted if the knocked-out tooth is handled properly and reinserted quickly. Otherwise, children and parents must work with their dentist to come up with an appropriate tooth-replacement solution. While dental implants are normally the treatment of choice, their use in children with underdeveloped jaws may impede jaw growth and prevent other teeth from growing into their natural positions. With this in mind, girls must wait until they are at least 14-15 years old to get dental implants, and boys should be at least 17 years old. Until then, the dentist can fill the gap caused by a missing tooth with a denture.

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, and if it can be recovered, it is important to hold it by the crown (top portion), rinse it (not scrub) very carefully in saline solution or tap water, gently put it back in its socket, and immediately get to the dentist’s office.

Dental implants can give you back your smile, and help you feel better about yourself. We are a highly qualified and experienced team of professionals - and we’re here to help you make the most of your smile. At CHRIS CLAVE DMD, FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, we are proud of our staff - a staff dedicated to helping you look and feel better.

Chop Shop festival celebrates 5 years

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA

CHOP SHOP: BODIES of WORK

Bellevue Reporter

A lot can change in five years. For Eva Stone, producer of the Bellevuebased dance festival, Chop Shop: Bodies of Work, that couldn’t be more true.

From a thrown-together show in 2008, where she had to choreograph a chunk of the festival’s eight dances, to 2012, where she now has to turn down dancers from Germany and Brazil, Chop Shop is all grown up.

The two-day dance festival includes performances by regional, national, and international dancers and dance companies. Chop Shop continues to make a name for itself in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, converting modern dance newbies into patrons of the often obscure performing art. “I’ve had someone ask for their money back just once,� Stone said. “And that’s

Where: Theatre at Meydenbauer Center 11100 NE Sixth St., Bellevue.

This is not “interpretive dance� – a common misconception.

Many dancers gain a solid foundation in ballet before shedding their slippers in favor of modern dance’s bare feet.

Then, instead of portraying tutu-clad princesses, they use human emotions as inspiration. Instead of trying to defy gravity up on the tips of their toes, modern dancers succumb to gravity, falling, rolling on the floor, in addition to leaping through the air.

Just think of it as “dance,� not “modern dance,� said Scott Lewis, Executive Director of Chop Shop participant Northwest Dance Project.

It may also be helpful to remember that there are no wrong answers when watching this art form, he said.

While the choreographer may have had an inspiration in mind when creating a work, the audience comes up with its own meanings. “My mother will watch a dance and say, ‘I get it!’ and she’s dead wrong. But it’s OK, because even if it’s not where the choreographer was coming from, her opinion is equally as valid,�

Lewis said.

He encourages people to remember this concept when watching Northwest Dance Project’s “A Short History of Walking� in Chop Shop. Two bare-chested dancers in a darkly-lit stage will make shapes with their hands and bodies, alternating their speeds with an almost martial-arts like quality.

Lewis’ company, in addition to BodyVox, represent Chop Shop’s expansion to dance outside of the Seattle Area (Portland, Ore., in this case). Stone has also brought in Move: the company from

Vancouver, British Columbia and New York-based Adam Barruch, who studied with the legendary Pina Bausch, the topic of a 3D feature film now in theaters.

High-caliber artists, as well as polished pieces, are what set Chop Shop apart from other Pacific Northwest dance festivals, where works are sometimes still in progress, said Ellie Sandstrom, a Seattle-based dancer who performed in the very first Chop Shop.

This year, Sandstrom will show off her sharp, animalistic movements yet again in the two identical performances that make up the Chop Shop festival – an evening show Saturday and a matinee Sunday.

Afterward, attendees will be treated to cake to commemorate the 26 companies and 144 dancers who have graced the Chop Shop stage since 2008.

It’s a monumental event for Stone, who has singlehandedly recruited each and every one of them to the Eastside’s only dance festival. “I promised my audience cake last year and now I’m going to deliver,� she said.

Ropes course to reopen in April ZIPLINE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

remains unknown. Officials are looking to hire a design team in April, with construction to be completed in the fall.

Robin Haaseth, spokeswoman for Bellevue’s Parks and Community Services Department, said the project is expected to cost approximately $125,000. Bennett said the community center received a $10,000 grant from CocaCola, with the rest coming from the city’s general fund. Not to worry, officials say, the project should pay for itself in the next two to four years.

The new zipline network will join the Bellevue Challenge Course, which was opened up to small groups for the first time last year. Until last May, the course was only available to larger groups, such as corporations looking for team building exercises and school sports teams.

“It didn’t enable individuals to do it because it was cost prohibitive,” Bennett said.

Starting in April, when the course reopens for the summer season, a group of friends can book the course for the day. But be prepared, this is a lot tougher than your local jungle gym.

The course begins with a 40-foot climb up a base log.

There, participants have the choice of walking across a cable tight rope or a series of wooden planks connected to a cable by rope. From there, challenges range from traversing a cargo net, to walking diagonal, zig-zag tight ropes where participants have to switch from rope to rope. With names for each of the 18 challenges such as the Charlie Chaplin walk and the Heebie-Jeebie, the course has enough to give even the most steel-nerved climber a jolt.

“You get these kids, these macho type guys, who handle it pretty easy, and then the instructor says ‘OK do it backwards,’ and that all melts away,” Bennett said.

The course will open Saturdays starting in April, adding Sundays in May and Fridays in June. Cost is $39 for Bellevue residents, and $49 for non residents. Sessions last two and a half hours with a maximum of 18 people. Future costs t

Planting in the wild Nursery prepares 14,000 plants for greenway trust

BY CELESTE GRACEY Reporter Newspapers

Grasping the 2-foot saplings by their tender trunks, the gardener moved them to make room for the day’s potting – cedars so small they looked more like clippings stabbed in bits of earth than trees with roots.

It’s the beginning of a several year process for Jema Hayes who, wearing mud-stained Carharts, directs volunteers at the Mountain to Sound Greenway Trust’s native plant nursery.

She cares for the trees for over a year before volunteers haul them into the mountains to restore old logging roads or to wetlands to reclaim land once thoroughly abused by blackberry bushes.

MTS plants 12,000-15,000 bushes and trees each year from Seattle to Ellensburg. Each of those trees begin at the trust’s single nursery at Lake Sammamish State Park under Hayes’ care.

The group relies on hundreds of volunteers each winter to help pot the plants. The work is expected to continue through February this year, after a snow storm cancelled two events.

For Steve Blank, who’s volunteered at MTS for 10 years, it’s an opportunity to connect with coworkers and a chance to help balance nature with new development.

Like Hayes, he’s seen the saplings grow, cleared blackberry-ridden fields where they’ll eventually root and then planted them.

County seeks nominees for Earth Heroes King County wants to honor students, teachers, staff, school volunteers, programs and even entire schools that are contributing to environmental protection and student environmental education.

Nominations for the 2012 Earth Heroes at School are due Feb. 24.

Winners will be honored at an event on April 26.

Recycling, restoring habitat, composting lunchroom waste, and growing pesticide-free gardens are among the many types of award-winning projects conducted by students, teachers and others in King County schools.

Earth Heroes can be nominated by colleagues, classmates and the general public. Self-nominations are also encouraged. Nomination forms are available at http://your.kingcounty. gov/solidwaste/education/ earth-heroes.asp, or by calling Donna Miscolta, 206-296-4477.

Above, Peyton Le plants cedars in a healing bed at Mountain to Sound Greenway Trust’s native plant nursery. Pictured left, Jema Hayes. CELESTE GRACEY, Reporter Newspapers Tree planting, which is what the most volunteers show up for, is a romantic idea, but for Blank, a hardcore volunteer, it’s seeing the trees through, he said.

At the nursery, snaking lines of black pots are stacked beside a plywood shed while the group pulls bushes from brown paper bags and squishes them into healing beds.

The nursery has about 30 native plant species.

Nearby, men pot 8-foot maples, wiry and red. They had a good year, Hayes said with a laugh. They’re usually half that size.

Many of the plants were paid for through Carter Motors’ carbon neutral program, which claims credit for planting about 45,000 trees since 2008.

While the nursery is her favorite place in MTS, the

MARRIAGE EITHER GETS BITTER OR BETTER

satisfaction isn’t in bright green rows of Douglas fir or the thousands of plants. It’s returning a year after her trees are planted to keep the weeds at bay.

It gives them a fighting chance, she said. “You truly feel ownership of these trees.”

REPORTER Q&A | Bellevue Planning Director Chris Salomone staff.

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

After more than a year of searching, the city of Bellevue hired Chris Salomone to be the new director of the Planning and Community Development Department. He brings more than 30 years of experience as planning director in Carlsbad and Tula Vista, Calif., and Tempe, Ariz. Salomone sat down with the Reporter to talk about his past, the state of the economy and the future of light-rail in Bellevue. For the full transcript of the interview, visit BellevueReporter.com.

BELLEVUE REPORTER: What got you interested in planning?

CHRIS SALOMONE: It was kind of a do-gooder attitude. Urban planning as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught is about building communities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about building cities that work for people and social systems and transportation and housing and safety. The reality of planning, once you get into it, is that a lot of other forces weigh in on planning, like economics and politics, regional issues and income levels and education levels.

REPORTER: What have you found to be

REPORTER: What is your take on this city, and its priorities going forward?

SALOMONE: Economic development is sort of the buzz word de jour, and I think the economic future for Bellevue is incredibly promising. I think the coming of lightrail will provide an incredible boost to the economy as far as land-use, marketing and property values. I think resetting downtown is very important. One day being able to open up downtown to Meydenbauer Bay would change the image of the city in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly positive.

Chris Salomone will handle a number of big projects as Bellevue planning director, including redevelopment of the Bel-Red area. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter the most satisfying and challenging aspects of urban planning?

SALOMONE: I was able to acquire the property and the grants for a library in Tula Vista, Calif. Those kinds of things are legacy projects that live beyond you. The implementation of light-rail is a gamechanger for cities in socio-economic and environmental ways, so those projects make you feel good that you are a part of them. This is a very rewarding profession.

You can go home and act as if you had added value to a community.

As far as challenges go, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in this business long enough to see several downturns in the economy. Those are always stressful because projects youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve devoted a tremendous amount of time into canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be built. Bellevue is going to be able to get a huge benefit from the new economy when it comes back. The challenge is doing that planning right, taking the time and being thoughtful, trying to be poised and ready

for the economic development possibilities that come out of this trough.

REPORTER: What were your most difficult or disappointing projects?

SALOMONE: We had this same phenomenon in Tempe that Bellevue had from about 2004 to 2008. That city saw development of a type they had never imagined: 30 and 40 story buildings, corporate headquarters, light-rail, large regional mall. The disappointment was the same as here in Bellevue. We approved probably 25 major projects, and half of them probably will not be built because of the economy.

REPORTER: What got you interested in Bellevue?

SALOMONE: Bellevue has a national reputation of being a well-run city. My son lives in Portland, Ore., so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been coming to Seattle and Portland for a number of years. The staff of Bellevue are nationally top rate. The quality of life in Bellevue is exceptional. The parks, the safety, the educational system; it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much to convince me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a first-class city, a firstclass operation with great community and

REPORTER: What is your background on light-rail projects, and how have you seen these projects affect the communities youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in?

SALOMONE: What I saw in other cities was that the onset of light-rail began a renaissance of sorts in both Tula Vista and Tempe. It provides an incredible device to import labor, workforce, customers, tourists, and the regional populace. In Tempe, almost every parcel along that corridor began to be of interest to the real estate community. Even opponents of it were able to see major benefits from this system.

REPORTER: What do you think about the residential proximity of this rail line?

SALOMONE: In California and Arizona, the two systems I did, did not have a parallel to the 112th corridor because we ran through mainly commercial areas, and in California it ran on an existing heavy freight rail line. So the issues of noise and traffic werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the same as here. I anticipate that we will try to reduce or allay the fears of the people on the 112th corridor as soon as we can. In both the cities where I did light-rail, the vast majority of people who had concerns about light-rail became proponents of it, and the feared negative impacts never came to realization.

I would like that to be the experience here too.

3A KingCo boys tournament Bellevue 46 Mercer Island 44 Timmy Haehl put in 14 points to lead the Wolverines to the come-frombehind win over Mercer Island and their fourth straight 3A KingCo tourmament title game on Thursday, Feb. 9 after the Reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press time.

Bellevue trailed throughout until putting together an 11-3 run to close the game behind swarming defense and some timely free throw shooting from Timmy Haehl and Michael Carlson.

Kaleb Warner led the Islanders with 14 in the loss.

Lake Washington 65 Sammamish 60 Guy Lynott and Matt Staudacher both put in 21 points as the Kangs, who trailed all evening, erupted with a 16-3 fourth quarter to get the win and advance to the 3A KingCo tournament title game against Bellevue.

George Valle scored 18 to lead the Totems and Jacob West added 14 more.

Sammamish will face Mercer Island Thursday at Bellevue College in the third place game of the tournament.

3A KingCo girls tournament Juanita 50 Bellevue 52 (OT) The Wolverines survived a buzzer beater from the Rebels Kate Cryderman in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to escape with the two-point win and advance to the 3A KingCo tournament title game on Thursday at Bellevue College against Liberty.

Cryderman finished with a game high 29 for state-ranked Juanita while Kate Holmes finished with 17 to help the Wolverines to the win.

One coach is fighting for his life, another dedicating it to the community

BY JOSH SUMAN Bellevue Reporter

When Newport takes the court tonight in the second round of the 4A KingCo boys basketball tournament, they will do so coming off four straight losses, with their playoff lives on the line.

But after a season around individuals with their actual lives on the line, the pressure should be manageable.

Part of the community

As a Newport alum himself, head coach Steve Haizlip has more than a working knowledge of the dynamics his players face in school and their home lives. For nearly all the players in his program, that means a stable upbringing in a safe community.

For Haizlip, it presents an opportunity to show them a new perspective on the neighborhood they call home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people out there not as fortunate,â&#x20AC;? Haizlip said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we think we have it hard, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it that hard.â&#x20AC;?

That message sunk in loud and clear earlier in the season when Haizlip took his team to Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glen, an affordable housing community that serves several military veterans and happens to be located directly across the street from Newport. Players and coaches shared a meal with residents and more importantly, shared in one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life experiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think every one of us learned something about underprivileged people and what we can do to make an impact on

their lives,â&#x20AC;? senior Billy Sahlinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for other people, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to give back as well.â&#x20AC;?

Haizlip said the initial trepidation wore off once the residents arrived and his players began to implement the motto he has imparted on them throughout his time at Newport: respect everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know when the tables will turn,â&#x20AC;? junior Isaac Dotson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely fortunate to be out here playing, living in a great community and going to a great school.â&#x20AC;?

Dotson said he spent much of the evening talking with a resident who identified himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alonzo Eveningâ&#x20AC;?. Hearing the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tales of rising through lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardships through spirituality left a lasting impression on Dotson, who is widely considered one of the top football prospects in the state for the class of 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He pretty much laid it all out there,â&#x20AC;?

Dotson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really inspiring to hear what he had to say and it made me more thankful.â&#x20AC;?

Lifetime underdog

Jeff Hansen canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see himself coaching anywhere else.

A 1993 graduate of Newport, Hansen was good friends with one of Haizlipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers during his youth and has known the head coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family for decades.

n a less-than-packed gym at Bellevue College, the echoes reverberated off the walls each time an Islander player stepped to the free throw line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;REEEEEEEEEE-BOUNNNNNDâ&#x20AC;?, came the chant from the opposite side of the stands. Not from a raucous student section or the cheer squad, but a single Bellevue freshman, dressed in such a Josh Suman way no one would ever mistake him for anything other than a Wolverine fanatic.

Nick Nyquist is the shameless young go-hardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and nothing; not a 3 p.m. Tuesday tipoff, a second-half deficit fueled by a litany of missed free throws, or the almost comical nature of being the only student in school colors and on his feet, was going to stop him from cheering on his peers and having a great time in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here because I want to support my team,â&#x20AC;? Nyquist told me in a matter-of-fact tone during the half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.â&#x20AC;?

Other Bellevue students filed in during the game dressed in school clothes and sitting in cliques, as teenagers are wont to do.

Only Nyquist stood and cheered throughout, sporting his emotions on his blue and gold sleeves.

He buried his head in his hands when the Wolverines faltered down the stretch, pleaded with the referees on every close call and finally exhaled when the Islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final attempt from half court was late and off the mark, securing a Bellevue win.

By his count, this is the fifth or sixth time this season he has Nyquist never misses a game. been the lone representative of CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter the student body willing to go â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super Fanâ&#x20AC;? at a game.

But for myself, even with a lifetime watching and covering prep sports, it was a first.

Some might read this and think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking a shot at the Bellevue fans and students for not loading up the stands for an afternoon game during the middle of the week.

Let me assure you Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for teens, insecure pack animals by nature, to cram tightly into their designated section and organize chants that are offered up with a shared voice 200-strong.

But heading to a game decked-out in fan gear during freshman year and standing solo for the entire game?

That takes guts.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard more than once from opposing fans and media that are surprised the Wolverines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pack the stands for each and every contest.

If their school had a Nick Nyquist, maybe they would understand.

Saints win Seamount 145 pounds.

Marks pinned Lindberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thomas Richards at the 1:43 mark and did not allow an opponent to score a single point against him during the tournament.

Giseburt topped Billy Marble of Tyee 12-4 at 160 pounds, Cancilla pinned Lindberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trevonn Russell in 2:30 and Peterson defeated teammate Ethan Spading 16-0 at 220 pounds.

Marcus Kopp (106) and Fine Nagauamo (285) also finished in second place while Douglas Mui (106), Grant Cole (113) and Nate Jochum (126) ended the tournament with third place finishes.

Each will head to the Region II tournament Saturday at Centralia High School. The top four finishers from that tournament will advance to the Tacoma Dome for Mat Classic XXIV, which begins Feb. 17.

diagnosed with heart failure. He was told he would eventually need a transplant and had a pacemaker installed in the interim.

The next two and a half years were full of prescription medications to mitigate the heart trouble and learning to adapt to a lifestyle drastically different from the physical, active one he had known before. Eventually, the disease began to outrace the medication and in 2006, Hansen underwent a heart transplant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was doing great for about three years,â&#x20AC;?

Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then they did some routine blood tests and found out my kidneys were going south.â&#x20AC;?

So in 2010, Hansen was again dealing with a life-threatening illness. This time it was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, the same disease that forced NBA superstar Alonzo Mourning into retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that disease, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty fast decline,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mine was worse because of all the medication I was taking for my heart.â&#x20AC;?

The Newport assistant has been on kidney dialysis since the diagnosis and is hopeful a transplant is in the near future. After a handful of others were unable to donate because of their own medical problems or other physical factors, Hansen has found a match in his sister, who he said is nearly through the process of donating the organ to

Like many prep programs around the state and country, the Newport hoops team prides itself on considering one another family. But with the inspirational Hansen on hand, and a head coach who is dedicated to making his players part of the community beyond their contributions on the court, the Knights have given it a face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the stories weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve listened to, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real,â&#x20AC;? Dotson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting out in the community and actually talking to people that have experienced those setbacks and being around coach is a testament to that.â&#x20AC;?

Newport players were not made aware of Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precarious medical state until late in the 2010-11 season and due to his demeanor in the gym, it came as quite a shock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hit everyone pretty hard,â&#x20AC;? Sahlinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out here with him on the court you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice it. He never makes an excuse.â&#x20AC;?

Hansen said he never has to put on a brave face for his players as a facade, instead drawing a considerable amount of tangible energy from being around the program he grew up with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the adrenaline of being around these guys or basketball or being in the gym, I used to play in,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It flips a switch for me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel good most of the time but when I come here, I feel great. I look forward to it every day.â&#x20AC;?

When the postseason continues for the Knights tonight against Ballard, Hansen will be where he has been for the previous two seasons, on the sideline. From heart disease patient to heart transplant survivor, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pretty skinny kidâ&#x20AC;? on the Newport roster in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s to a respected coach that both players and peers look to for inspiration.

Sahlinger, Dotson and Haizlip all said Hansen has given them a new appreciation for the over-recited sports cliche of â&#x20AC;&#x153;play each game like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your last.â&#x20AC;?

If the kidney transplant from his sister falls through, Hansen said he will simply resume his place on the waiting list and look eagerly to the day he can get back on the court himself. The disease has squeezed out his ability to be active or participate in anything where physical contact is a possibility. But there is no chance Hansen is giving up now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to just deal with stuff the best you can and not to dwell on it,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another reason I like coming here. It takes my mind off of the other stuff.â&#x20AC;?

And for Newport players, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another way to take care of the family.

Todd and Summer Hanson elected to focus on other sports during the winter rather than wrestle, leaving Interlake with a less experienced but still determined group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are competing a lot tougher than they were last year,â&#x20AC;? Leonard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a strong handfull who are going to gear up for a solid state run.â&#x20AC;?

Along with Marks, Leonard said Netto Cancilla, Chad Peterson, Daniel Montoya and Alex Giseburt all have a chance to leave an impression on those around the state and each took a big step toward doing so with league championships at their respective weight classes at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seamount League tournament.

The Saints also captured the team scoring with a total of 186, well in front of second place Rentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of 122.5.

Montoya won the 132-pound weight class with a 2-1 overtime victory over Tyeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abraham Torres.

Last year, Jacob Marks was just happy to be invited to the party. In 2012, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to kick down the door.

After a runner-up finish in the 2A bracket of Mat Classic XXIII, Marks is currently ranked fifth in the state at the 152-pound weight class and is ready to make a return trip to Tacoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year definitely exceeded my expectations,â&#x20AC;?

Marks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wrestled my best and I was pretty excited to make the finals.â&#x20AC;?

Interlake assistant coach Matt Leonard said Marksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2011 state championship match appearance was the first for any wrestler from the school in 25 years.

Despite only having two wrestlers earn points in the tournament, the Saints notched the highest team finish in the state tournament since 1996. That left the coach excited about the possibilities for this season, but after some defections from the program and some trouble with the injury bug, the goal of a KingCo title proved out of reach.

Healing Hands Chaplain meets spiritual needs in illness and death Palliative Care.

There was once a man under Connollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on good speaking terms with a child. No one thought heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d talk to a chaplain, but Weyls worked with him to bring healing to the relationship, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the grace of Rich, he was able to unload some of his pain,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was really powerful.â&#x20AC;?

BY CELESTE GRACEY Reporter Newspapers

T

Healing the spirit Chaplains have long had a place in American hospital care, but in a modern scene, the priests who once evangelized the sick and dying have since transformed into experts for the spiritually suffering.

Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah is no exception. The presence of its chaplain is so

Rich Weyls, chaplain at Issaquahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swedish Medical Center, prays over Julita Fitzgerald in her room. A cancer patient, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regularly taken to reciting nightly prayers. An expert in spiritual care, Weyls is treated as a member of the hospital team. CELESTE GRACEY, Reporter Newspapers crucial, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation required someone like Weyls to be on staff.

His worn leather shoes pass through the emergency room and in and out of intensive care all day long. The work is practical for doctors, who tend to focus on the physical needs first. He also helps calm patients and families who sometimes overwhelm hospital staff.

Weyls was sipping coffee in the cafeteria, when a page came across a speaker around his neck. An anxious nurse asked for help.

Family had been trickling in all day to be with an elderly woman on life support, and it reached a climax.

He assured the nurse he would come by again. It was the big crisis of the day, he said, tossing his empty cup into trash.

Once a doctor delivers the bad news about a patient, Weyls is often called upon to help families work through their decisions about life support. Physicians take as many questions as they can answer, but when it comes to sorting through the meaning of life, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the resident expert.

Chaplains are not just for the dead.

They help figure out the other aspects of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life that are being impacted by illness, said Dr. Janice Connolly, who worked with Weyls for a few years in Swedishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Julita Fitzgeraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frail body was buried beneath a mound of blankets, when her voice elevated just above a whisper to tell Weyls about her nightly prayers.

Since learning about the cancer, the Catholic had taken to reciting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Fatherâ&#x20AC;? and three â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hail Maryâ&#x20AC;? prayers nightly.

Weyls set down a thin book on the bed.

A few letters had rubbed off the gold-foiled title, Ministry with the Sick, where he clasped it in his hands.

A Roman Catholic priest for most of his 25-year career, Weyls has since been ordained in the Episcopalian Church, which still maintains many of the same trappings and prayers of Catholicism.

The prayers were well known to him, so placing a light hand on her head, he led her in reciting them. His eyes were closed beneath thin glasses while she worked the words from her chest.

Later he would contact a parish and have a priest sent to her home to deliver holy communion. No longer a Catholic, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perform the rite.

He had to stay true to his new faith.

he light-footed chaplain slips open a curtain and pokes his head into Room 3306. His lips form a greeting, but before his first syllable is born, the patient snaps, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you a doctor?â&#x20AC;?

Rich Weylsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visit is unexpected. He begins to explain, but halfway through his response, the patient interrupts again with news of her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent death.

Soon the memories of her mother slide into the deepest traumas of her life, each more horrifying than the last. Forty minutes pass, nurses scuttle in and out of the room, before she allows Weyls a moment to speak. Taking her hand, he pushes past an array of bloodstained stories to ask about her present feelings.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angry and sad. But why recall incidents buried by 40 years of life? Outside her room, blips pass endlessly across a heart monitor screen. Hospitals can feel threatening. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably scared.

Positing to leave for the time, Weyls says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can I wish you health and peace?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever you want,â&#x20AC;? her voice calm but careless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want for you.â&#x20AC;?

The tenderness in his answer finishes the lesson. Her eyes tear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone does care.

Becoming a Chaplain

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19

Qualifications for professional chaplains require almost as much work as becoming a physician. The profession has a few different certification groups, including specialized ones for Jews and Catholics.

Below are the requirements from the Board of Chaplaincy Certification:

dhist. Like Weyls, they see people from all faith backgrounds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered unethical for a professional chaplain to proselytize or try to influence peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spiritual beliefs or medical decisions.

Most people in this region donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come with any particular convictions, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have life questions, said Becca Parkins, manager of Swedishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spiritual care.

Those facing death can ask profound life questions. The most common is whether or not their life made a difference, Weyls said.

The Call Weyls first felt the call from God to become a priest when he was 14 years old, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embrace it until his grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing over a decade later.

A Catholic priest ministered to her faithfully during her last days and was able to reconcile her with the church. When she died, he performed the funeral.

The priestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindness opened Weyls up to the call he had once run from, and at 27 he enrolled in seminary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I finally had the courage to respond.â&#x20AC;?

As soon as he began working as a priest, he stepped into a volunteer chaplain role at a hospital. He had once been accepted into medical school, but chose instead to accept a full scholarship to study labor economics. He never stuck with economics, but he never let go of his interest in medicine.

In 2006, he left Roman Catholicism over doctrinal differences and embraced the Episcopalian church. Theologically liberal, he believes there

Rich Weyls is the chaplain at Issaquahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swedish Medical Center. An expert in spiritual care, he is treated as a member of the hospital team.

are many paths to God. His is Jesus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in Hell,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if anyone is there.â&#x20AC;?

Admittedly his beliefs about spirituality limit his temptation to proselytize his patients, but chaplains from conservative theologies manage to uphold the same ethics, he said.

For religious leaders, chaplaincy can be much more satisfying work, because it focuses almost entirely on building

relationships with people, said Parkins from spiritual care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in those moments in despairing that we really look to help from God or how we experience a higher power,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in those moments in crisis that we find connection or peace or faith.â&#x20AC;?

female wolf statue created by artist Beth Cavener Stichter. The wolf will appear to be vomiting up tulle, frills the color pink, and other things associated with being female, Ganstrom says.

While Ganstrom developed the theme of play for the exhibit, her, cocurator, BAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curatorial Affairs/Artistic Director Stefano Catalani added the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pushâ&#x20AC;? to the title.

An obvious association is pushing a play button, getting something to start, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what the cocurators had in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really pushing people to start thinking about this idea of play,â&#x20AC;?

Ganstrom said.

Playtime isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Bellevue Arts Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest exhibit implores attendees to think about.

In conjunction with the 46th Annual Conference of The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, taking place in Seattle in March, the Bellevue museum will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Push Play: The 2012 NCECA Invitational.â&#x20AC;?

More than 35 artists from around the U.S. and internationally will show in the exhibit.

While different mediums, including wood and fabric are used, all pieces submitted had to have a ceramic element to qualify.

As people enter the museum, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re greeted by ladders that go from the ground floor, all the way to its second floor.

The creations, by artist Henny Linn Kjellberg, are clearly not functional at first, but they are useful to the imaginative mind that might be able to picture climbing or using them in a variety of ways, said Linda Ganstrom, cocurator of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Push Playâ&#x20AC;? and Exhibitions Director for NCECA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Museum is a form of adult play,â&#x20AC;? Ganstrom said, because, like a child at playtime, making art requires creativity, as does viewing it.

Another example of work aimed to provoke thought, discussion and imagination is a giant,
