Bellevue man charged with murdering wife

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

Prosecutors filed first-degree murder charges Tuesday against a 71-year-old man who confessed to killing his wife with a hatchet last week.

James W. Schumacher turned himself in to Bellevue police at City Hall March 23, two days after the incident took place.

Schumacher will be arraigned April 10 at 8:30 a.m. at the King County Courthouse.

Prosecutors asked that his $1 million bail

After his confession, police drove to the Lake Hills home located at the 100 block of 159 Avenue Southeast where a deceased

71-year-old female, Schumacher’s wife, Jean, was found.

Schumacher said he killed his wife the morning of March 21 in her room. According to court documents, Schumacher and his wife got into an argument the night before, and she threatened to divorce him.

She retreated to her bedroom and locked the door.

Schumacher told detectives he stayed up all night, pacing in his separate bedroom, stewing over the argument. In the morning, he went to the garage and took a hatchet.

He broke into her bedroom, according to court documents, and then hit her in the head six times while she slept. He told detectives he then placed the body under her bed, where it remained for the next two days.

Schumacher said his original intention was to scare his wife, but when he entered the room he attacked her. He hid his bloody clothes in the closet, and contemplated leaving town or committing suicide.

Most people only dream of going into outer space.

But 25-year-old Lauren Furgason, a Bellevue native, may actually get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be an astronaut for a day.

Ferguson, a 2004 Bellevue High School graduate who majored in graphic design at University of Washington, is one of five finalists in the Space Needle’s national Space Race contest, commemorating the Needle’s 50th anniversary.

“I don’t want to get up there and make a technological discovery; I want to be that inspirational person Lauren Furgason poses on the Space Needle, who shows that anyone a reference she used in a YouTube video to get can do it,” Furgason people to vote for her. COURTESY PHOTO said.

The state Department of Transportation is giving the green light to the new 520 bridge – literally.

Four “sentinels,” large pillars on each side of the bridge at the east and west ends, will be aglow at night with a green light topped by an amber beacon. The columnline sentinels will mark where the bridge transitions from land to water.

It’s just one of several new features planned for the bridge, the longest in the world.

In addition to six lanes for vehicles, the bridge also will include a 14-foot-wide path for walkers and cyclists. Because the bridge is so long, five viewing points will be built along the length and include benches where people can take a break.

Also planned are noise barriers

Gubernatorial candidates spar over light-rail on I-90

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

Residents and city councils have spent months – even years – debating light-rail on the Eastside, and now another level of government has weighed in: the candidates for governor.

Attorney General Rob McKenna, speaking to the Eastside Transportation Association March 21, questioned the validity of running the trains over the Interstate 90 floating bridge.

“I’m not even sure how it’s going to work, frankly,” he said. “I don’t know how you can do fixed rail on a floating bridge. And I envision it shutting down temporarily when there is a wind.”

Jay Inslee, his Democrat opponent, jumped on McKenna’s remarks at a news conference two days later. In the shadow of the Bellevue Transit Center, which will be a prominent piece of the East Link project, the recently retired U.S. Congressman skewered McKenna’s position an issue he said has already been decided.

“We’ve made this decision multiple times, in multiple places, by multiple people, and it is time to move forward,” Inslee said. “And frankly I am disappointed.

My opponent has lost this argument on multiple occasions, and he needs to get over it, so our community can move on.”

McKenna acknowledged that the issue had already been decided through a public vote. He did not recommend trying to reverse the ST2 vote that funded rail to the

Eastside. He referenced a recent court decision against Kemper Freeman trying to block the trains from using the I-90 center lanes, saying another public vote would be the Rob McKenna only way to reintroduce the issue.

“We all know where we are on that issue, but I don’t have an easy solution to how do you unravel it, because of the public vote, the fact that we’re moving forward with bonding. … We may have to ride out the mistakes we’ve made, but going forward we can avoid those mistakes,” McKenna said.

The issue of light-rail on the Eastside has been a controversial one in Bellevue for several years, but the City Council last year was able to agree on a basic framework to bring the trains through the city using a downtown tunnel.

Supporting Inslee were two of the area’s most visible light-rail supporters, King County Executive Dow Constantine and Bellevue City Council Member Claudia Balducci. Prior to Inslee’s speech, the two local officials echoed the broad range of support this project has received through various votes.

“This issue has been discussed, it’s been debated, it’s been litigated – we are moving forward.” Constantine said.

New visitor center planned for botanical gardens $11 million project would add 8,000 square feet, parking spaces to facility

By Nat Levy Bellevue Reporter

Bellevue Botanical Gardens has become famous over the years for spectacular holiday light shows, and great natural views year-round.

But one thing isn’t so pretty at the local park, its visitor center. The garden still runs primarily out of a home donated by Cal and Harriet Shorts in 1984.

Various improvements led to the installation of a public restroom and gift shop, but the garden’s booming programs and class schedule are too large for the home.

“They’ve really just outgrown it, and since the house was never meant to be a visitor center, it’s been forced to serve as something it’s not,” said Ken Kroeger, project manager for Bellevue’s Parks and Community Services Department.

The garden is working on obtaining permits to build a new 8,500-square foot visitor center to meet its needs. The parks department received approval from the Bellevue planning director, and a public hearing will be held on the plan at 7 p.m.

The project calls for remodeling of the 2,200-square foot Shorts house, and the addition of 66 new parking spaces.

The new facility will allow the gardens’ staff to conduct larger classes and programs, and take back some of the ones that have outgrown the facilities, said Nancy Kartes, manager of the garden.

A key part of the plan lies in a nearby wetland. The more than 5,000-square foot area will be filled as part of the new project. City officials will have to create a new wetland area on site to mitigate the loss of land. It is expected to cost about $80,000 to $120,000. While this is always a risky plan - according to the state Department of Ecology, mitigation only works about 50 percent of the

The timeline also remains up in the air.

Kroeger said the city hopes to bid the project by the end of the year. Construction is likely to take at least a year. But, during this time, the garden will stay open.

Domestic violence: Time to say ‘no’

T

he image is shocking, sickening.

A 71-year-old Bellevue man walked into a Bellevue Police station March 27 and said he had killed his sleeping wife – with a hatchet.

But while most of us would gasp, those who deal with domestic violence know too well the reality of such situations. All forms of violence are too common here and elsewhere – even including murder.

In the Bellevue case, court documents say the husband had assaulted his wife in the past and once was arrested for it. She had petitioned the court for a restraining order, saying she feared for her life.

Barbara Langdon, Executive Director of Eastside Domestic Violence Program, says that murders between partners are typically linked to a history of domestic violence. It can reach a critical point if the wife says she wants out of a relationship.

Those who work to combat domestic violence say an estimated 40 percent of women in King County are victims of abuse from an intimate partner according to a 2009 study by Group Health. They also says the number likely is higher.

And 755 people died as a result of domestic violence between 1997 and 2010, according to the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence Fatality Review Project.

That’s just here. Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 1,200 deaths and more than 2 million injuries each year come from intimate partner violence. That was “each year.”

There’s no easy answer for this problem. These tragedies strike all areas, age groups, income level – no demographic is immune.

If there’s not a cure, there is help. The Eastside Domestic Violence Program operates a 24-hour crisis line at 425-746-1940 or 1-800827-8840. If you are in a domestic violence situation – or know someone who is – call – NOW. Victims can get help, but only if it’s not too late.

ccording to Google Maps, I live exactly 12 miles, or 19 minutes, from the

office.

Let’s get something straight — I’ve never made it to or from work anywhere close to Google’s estimation. It’s often double, or triple that time.

I know, it’s the Greater Seattle area, traffic congestion is inevitable. There’s no way around it, right?

Wrong.

I think Kevin Endejan there’s an answer to this, and it’s simple — LEARN HOW TO MERGE. Day after day during my commute on I-405 between north Kirkland and Bellevue I see it. Traffic comes to a halt as cars hesitate to enter or exit the roadway.

The scene is akin to the Pemco Insurance commercial featuring, the “You Go. No You Go. No You Go. Guy.” Are you one of the mergingchallenged struggling to understand the concept of entering/ exiting the roadway?

A quick internet search will return four simple rules: Use your turn signal, enter the freeway at an appropriate speed, oncoming traffic has the right of way and most importantly, don’t stop.

I know this philosophy works.

I’m a Washington native, but

spent a year in the central California city of Fresno — an area that registered 510,000 people in the last census. That dwarfs the combined 170,000 people in Bellevue and Kirkland. Somehow, when drivers hop on Fresno’s highways during rush hour they manage to maintain a healthy speed — quite often the posted 60 mph speed limit.

The main difference? You guessed it, they weave in and out, merging with precision. It’s a true thing of beauty.

I don’t know the reason for the difference. Maybe Washington drivers are less aggressive than California drivers? Maybe Washingtonians are nicer? And that’s an argument I might buy, if I didn’t consistently witness another major merging problem — the rule breaker.

You know who I’m talking about. The person, who knows full well they need to exit, but drives all the way to the end of the line and forces their way in.

Not only are you cutting, but you’re blocking the lane that I’m in.

This happened a couple of weeks ago when the Sounders were playing their first game and everyone decided to avoid I-90 west and take 520. It took me 25 minutes to cover a 2-mile stretch between downtown Bellevue and the 520 exit all because some people thought their time was more valuable than the hundreds of cars stacked behind them.

There’s probably no answer to the problem, short of a forced reeducation of Washington drivers.

Maybe more lanes and improved exits will help?

But for now, I just have one simple request. Please use common sense … oh, and little black pedal on the right side of your floor panel.

Continued funding of health insurance for people on Disability LifeLine is crucial for the citizens of Washington state. This safety net program is designed to protect the most vulnerable members of our community who have no other means of acquiring health insurance.

The elimination of medical coverage from this program recently proposed by the state Senate would be a direct blow to our communities, our hospitals, our tax payers and hundreds if not thousands of individuals living in and around Bellevue.

Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS), including myself, and other disabling conditions rely on this program for their health care and we can’t see it cut. The average yearly cost of someone living with MS is $69,000. This number will increase if people are uninsured and lack preventative care that can slow the progression of the disease.

Choosing to cut medical insurance from these programs will severely burden the people of Washington state now and future generations later.

I urge Sen. Rodney Tom to vote in favor of keeping this program intact by not cutting the medical benefits as it is detrimental to our future generations, and is a very temporary and ineffective means of closing the budget gap.

Newport High honors legacy of coach Albo

one of the first non-astronauts to go on an hour-long trip to see the curvature of Earth and the blackness of space.

The contest is in partnership with Space Adventures, a company that provides commercial space travel for non-astronauts.

While other finalists’ list becoming an astronaut as a childhood ambition, Furgason took a different approach. She’s always been interested in traveling the Earth, rather than the moon. She wants to represent the everyday person, rather than a scientist.

Plus, she’s the only Seattle-area native in the competition. She even shares the same birthday as the Space Needle, (April 21) and says in her YouTube video that it’s not the only thing she shares with the iconic Seattle structure.

“The needle: a bold design that signified reaching for tomorrow. Me: a bold adventurer, always reaching for what’s next,” Furgason says in the video, flashing from vintage shots from the birth of the Space Needle at the 1962 World’s Fair to shots of herself flying through the air on a trapeze.

Details have yet to be finalized, but in May, Ferguson will compete with the other four contestants in a battle of wits and physical challenges for the grand prize. She’s staying fit with activities such as the stair climb at Columbia Center in Seattle to achieve her goal of winning the ticket to space.

“This would be the ultimate adventure,” she said.

Bob Albo’s philosophy was simple: “Shoot for the moon and sometimes you end up traveling amongst the stars.”

In other words, by expecting the best, sometimes his players only turned out excellent.

Last Saturday, Albo’s former baseball players, friends, family and members of the community gathered at Newport High School for the official dedication of “Bob Albo Field,” where a new scoreboard with the coach’s name on it was unveiled.

“My players are the sons I’ve never had,” said Albo, before throwing the first pitch at the game versus Bellevue High School.

“I love you all deeply. What more could a person ask for?”

A beloved math teacher and coach, Albo taught for more than 30 years, including 26 in Bellevue.

He led the Knights from 1972-1983 and then again in 1992-1996, compiling a 322108 record.

Under his leadership, the Knights brought home three state titles and six conference championships. Albo’s peers

Former Newport Knights baseball coach Bob Albo was the guest of honorSaturday when alumni, community members and school officials gathered for the official dedication of ‘Bob Albo Field’ at Newport High School. RONNIE ALLEN photo also voted him into the Washington State Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame.

A dozen of Albo’s players have been drafted into the major leagues, including

former L.A. Dodger, Todd Hollandsworth.

However, that’s not the measure of a great coach, as many of his former players will tell anyone.

The number of alumni’s weddings he’s attended, for one, speak to what a lasting impression he’s made.

Last year, many of his former players wrote to the Bellevue School Board, urging them to officially name Newport’s field after the coach. In June 2011, the board voted unanimously to go forward with the request.

Three alumni from the mid ‘70s, Scott McQuilkin, Jim Simpkins and Mike Patterson helped mobilize their old classmates to make it happen.

McQuilkin, who went on to coach at baseball at Whitworth University and Pennsylvania State University, said he felt like he was getting the highest level of training in baseball there was during his high school years.

“The players at Penn. State may have seen me, but they were really being coached by Bob Albo,” he said.

Students do math about earthquakes Preparing for disasters such as earthquakes pays. With the help of the city’s Office of Emergency Management, students in a high school algebra class are using math to figure out how much.

Students in Elsa Yanez De Salaido’s Algebra 2 class at Bellevue Big Picture School, an alternative school in the Bellevue School District, designed two large buildings, one to pre-1970s standards and one to later standards that ensure structures can withstand an earthquake. With data from the Office of Emergency Management, the students projected how a major earthquake would affect the buildings and calculated how much it would cost to repair them.

The month-long project covers risk assessment, building mitigation, incident damage analysis and recovery cost analysis. The students presented their findings Monday.

“If we can show the practical applications of math and other subjects in an environment like emergency management, this will bring a realistic understanding to their learning process,” said Vernon Owens, emergency preparedness coordinator.

Making sure residents and businesses in Bellevue have a realistic understanding of the threat natural disasters pose, and of how to prepare for that threat, are key parts of the Office Emergency Management’s mission.

A division of the Bellevue Fire Department, Emergency Management offers preparedness training to neighborhoods and businesses upon request, scheduled based on date and time availability.

Large marine equipment began arriving at the bridge Thursday, including a large crane on a barge. Later this summer, the first batch of 77 huge floating pontoons will be towed into Lake

his wife in the past, and was arrested once for it.

Schumacher’s wife petitioned for a restraining order in November 2010.

She and her two children wrote to the court that he was abusive toward her. She told the court she feared for her life.

“Early on in the marriage,

he told me that if I ever tried to leave him, he would kill me and has threatened me numerous times over these past four decades,” she wrote. “I have a deep fear of him poisoning my food with his medications or rat poison, or choking me as he once tried when he was drunk some years ago. I’ve had nightmares of him coming after me, and I’m running like in slow

motion with weights on my feet and can’t run fast enough to escape him.”

The court granted the restraining order, but Jean Schumacher asked that it be terminated in July 2011 because the separation was taking too much of a physical, financial and emotional toll.

Schumacher worked at Boeing and U.S. Steel for 17 years.

SMILING WIPES YEARS OFF YOUR FACE We all know how important a smile can be when it comes to social acceptance. What you may not readily realize is that a smile can also make you look younger. According to recent research, people are generally judged to be younger when they smile. It seems that smiling flexes muscles around the eyes and mouth, creating temporary wrinkles that are difficult to differentiate from laugh lines and crow’s feet. As a result, people generally attach a less accurate age estimate to smiling faces. Moreover, smiling faces generate a “halo effect,” which means they are perceived as being more positive, attractive, and youthful. Cosmetic dental procedures that enhance your smile make you more attractive and youthful in other people’s eyes.

To see how much younger you look when you smile, compare your pictures to snapshots of you with a smile on your face.

Many of us hide our smiles because we are insecure about our teeth. But there are solutions to common dental problems and insecurities, and NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY can bring your smile back. If you struggle with dental problems, you can count on our caring and talented professionals to make your smile a work of art. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, in Bellevue near the Microsoft Main Campus, where our professional staff works as a team to make your visits comfortable and pleasant.

Watching a wrinkle in time T he best places for wrinkles are the surfaces of prunes, raisins, cerebral cortices, some kinds of mushrooms, early-growth rhubarb leaves, and shar peis.

Yet this week, dozens of fine lines marring my cheeks appeared without my permission or any advanced warning.

They are easiest to see when I smile. My husband says he’s doubtful that they taxied in as if they had all traveled together to my face in a jumbo jet and disembarked at the same time, but he did confirm that they

were visible to the naked eye, or at least the naked eye with prescription lenses.

So where did this plague come from? Dermatologists would point out that spending time in climates dominated Ann Oxrieder by blue skies, sunshine, happy singing birds, and temperatures that allow one to go outside without a parka and

umbrella, are responsible for facial results like I’m seeing this week.

However, in saying this they would not be referring to Western Washington, which missed the notice of the Vernal Equinox all together. Volleys of hail pellets and gusting winds are the norm for March, and on a good day, mixed snow and rain. A sun break is what happens when you see a haze-covered orb, about 7:15 p.m., just before it sets in the western sky.

I know I can’t worry about this new development, since worry itself causes lines in the face. Nor is make-up the answer, since make-up quickly makes its way into my new facial crevasses. I’m short on ideas of how to erase these obvious mistakes, except — and now I’m warning those readers who know me — to stop smiling.

Local real estate market looks good, experts say

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

Bellevue will be one of the hottest real estate markets in the country as the economy continues to rise out of recession, a panel of experts said Wednesday.

Speaking at a Bellevue Downtown Association forum, the group, which included those in commercial, residential and office retail, said Bellevue has fared well throughout the economic downturn, and things continue to look up.

Overall, the experts said, the country is

beginning to turn around. Companies are adding jobs and vacancy rates in office towers are dropping.

“2011 signaled a turn in the market and a considerable level of expansion,” said Sue Baugh, a director Kushman and Wakefield.

Seattle and Bellevue are poised for growth in future years because of steps the cities have taken to organize development.

Many national investors see the area as a combined region that has emphasized residential areas downtown to create a coveted “live, work, play” environment that most cities around the country can only

dream of.

Employees want to work in this region, said Richard Leider, principal at Trinity Real Estate, and that is enticing businesses to build in the area. He ranked the SeattleBellevue region in the top five of investor focus in the nation. Bellevue in particular has become a popular landing spot for young tech industry employees due to its proximity to job centers, and a burgeoning nightlife downtown.

“It’s not a place you leave anymore,” said Monica Wallace, a senior vice president at Wallace Properties. “It’s a place you’re

coming to.”

Commercially, Wallace said, Bellevue remained strong due to the presence of anchors such as the Bellevue Collection and the Bravern. Commercial vacancy rates are down to about 3 percent, well below the national average of 10.9 percent.

New retailers are coming to the area, and established businesses have been looking to trade up to better spaces, with demand continuing to heat up.

Sub shop owner breaks a sound barrier

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

When Ray Park immigrated to the United States from South Korea in 1989, he wanted a piece of show business. He studied film and worked in New York and Los Angeles, before ultimately jumping into small business ownership.

Now Park is writing his own inspiring script.

Park, a Bellevue resident, owns four Charley’s Grilled Subs franchises throughout the area and he is using these stores to give back.

Through his church, Park began attending a service that catered to deaf individuals. He noticed the job market for the hard of hearing was a tough one, so he decided to make a difference. Park hired three deaf individuals, including the church’s deaf pastor, to work at his shops. They worked the morning shift - opening the store, prepping the vegetables and ingredients. At first it was a big adjustment for them, and the other employees.

“They complained about the deaf peoples’ functionality because fast food restaurants require one person to multi-task,” said Park, who spends his days traveling between stores and working on the front lines with customers. “Other crew members had to do a little bit extra for them.”

But, Park said, things quickly smoothed out. Many of the employees learned sign language phrases for things like “cheese fries, for here, to go.” The new method of communication even made things a little more efficient.

The parent company took notice.

Park was honored last week with the company’s Brotherly Love award, given to franchise owners who work hard to create positive change in the community. The company also recognized Park for mentoring new owners and donating furniture to employees when they need it.

“All of the Charley’s franchisees have done a tremendous job being active in their communities,” said Bob Wright, president and COO of Charley’s. “But Ray Park won the Brotherly Love Award because he’s a model owner when it comes to helping improve those communities and giving aid to those in need. He is beloved figure in his markets due to his gracious and charitable nature.”

When Park first heard about the award he was stunned. He felt he didn’t deserve it.

Others were doing more in the community, he thought.

The award represents a long journey for Park and his family. Park’s wife and her sister originally jumped into the franchise game SEE CHARLEY’S, 10

Ray Park, owner of four area Charley’s Grilled Subs, was honored for his decision to hire deaf individuals at three of his locations. NAT LEVY, Bellevue Reporter

because they were unfamiliar with American business practices.

Franchisers can provide guidance to new business owners. Park was in California at the time working for a DVD

company, when he got laid off. So in 2006 it was time to join this freshlyminted family business.

He started off mostly doing administrative work, but soon after his wife stepped back in her duties.

Park took over much of the operations for the stores at Southcenter

Mall in Tukwila, Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, Westlake Center in Seattle and Kitsap Mall in Silverdale. When he made the move to hire deaf workers, he placed one in each of the three Seattle area shops.

For Park, the best part about the arrangement is it has helped them

improve their situations.

Two of the three were able to find full-time work, while the pastor moved back to South Korea.

“They found a better job, so I’m happy to see them promoted and going forward,” Park said.

Straley House, a home for young people who previously were living on the streets or were victims of abuse, is getting a new courtyard thanks to the efforts of the Bellevuebased Belleue-based Master Builders Care Foundation.

The organization, a philanthropic arm of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, is teaming up with the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) Seattle former players chapter to build the courtyard at YouthCare’s Straley House. YouthCare has been serving Seattle’s homeless youth since 1974.

The project is part of a program called Touchdown for Homes, a nationwide charitable outreach program of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the NFLPA. The program works to strengthen communities by building or renovating homes for families in need and for veterans.

“We hope you can help people discover our city and all it has to offer,” Lee said .

The event, a kick-off for a three-day familiarization tour for the writers, was put on by the organization, Visit Bellevue Washington. It was only one in a handful of public relations initiatives the organization has been working on to help attract tourists to Bellevue since its launch in 2011.

Celebrate EASTER with us Easter: history and meaning According to St. Bede, an English historian of the early 8th century, Easter owes its origin to the old Teutonic mythology. It was derived from the name Eostre, the AngloSaxon goddess of spring, to whom the month of April was dedicated. The festival of Eostre was celebrated at the vernal equinox, when the day and night gets an equal share of the day.

The English name “Easter” is much newer. When the early English Christians wanted others to accept Christianity, they decided to use the name Easter for this holiday so that it would match the name of the old spring celebration. This made it more comfortable for other people to accept Christianity.

However, it is pointed out by some that the Easter festival, as celebrated today, is related with the Hebrew tradition, the Jewish Passover. This is being celebrated during Nisan, the first month of the Hebrew lunar year. The Jewish Passover under Moses commemorates Israel’s deliverance from about 300 years of bondage in Egypt.

It was in during this Passover in 30 AD Christ was crucified under the order of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. The resurrection came three days later, on the Easter

Sunday.

The early Christians, many of them being brought up in Jewish tradition regarded Easter as a new feature of the Pascha (Passover). It was observed in memory of the advent of the Messiah, as foretold by the prophets. And it is equanimous with the proclamation of the resurrection.

Thus the early Christian Passover turned out to be a unitive celebration in memory of the passion-death-resurrection of Jesus.

However, by the 4th century, Good Friday came to be observed as a separate occasion.

And the Pascha Sunday had been devoted exclusively to the honor of the resurrection.

The preparation for Easter takes off as early as on the Ash Wednesday from which the period of penitence in the Lent begins.

Lent

Lent is a 40-day period of penance meant for sharing the sorrows and sufferings of Christ by the self-denying Christians.

Originally Lent was meant for a period of complete fasting to commemorate the forty-day fast of Jesus. Jesus spent these days in the desert after his baptism and until the beginning of his public ministry. In the early church, this fasting period was meant for a preparation to receive the sacrament to be given to those who would be baptized on the Easter eve.

In course of time, the emphasis of the season turned from preparing for baptism to more penitential aspects. Even persons guilty of notorious sins spent the time performing public penances. Only at the

end of the Lent were they publicly accepted back in an elaborate ceremony.

Episcopal churches, parishioners are given palm leaves at the end of the service.

Palm Sunday

The Holy Monday & Tuesday

The last Sunday of the Lent is known as the Palm Sunday. This is when Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem where he was greeted warmly by the crowd. In the words of St Matthew: Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And this is where the basis of the Palm Sunday procession lies.

The first reference to the Palm Sunday procession, is found in the travel journal of Etheria, the nun from the northwest Spain.

She made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem toward the end of the fourth century. She referred the day to be the beginning of the Paschal Week.

In the Western Church the procession is reportedly adopted first in Spain, possibly in the fifth century. And it had not been before the 12th century when the procession was held in Rome. In the United States, the Messiah Lutheran church in Philadelphia revived an old Palm Sunday custom. There an ass is led down the center aisle accompanied by the pastor and two costumed members of the congregation.

Meanwhile the entire church body sings, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” In

Monday of the Holy Week is not a major feast. The cleansing of the temple in the Holy City of Jerusalem is thought to have taken place on this Monday. This was when Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers, saying to them: “ It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; But you make it a den of robbers”. [Matthew: 21:13] The Tuesday of the Holy Week is the day when the famous incident between Jesus and Pharisees is thought to have taken place. This was when the churchmen tried to trap Jesus into making a blasphemous, or, anti-god remark.

This day is important also on another count. Jesus discoursed to his disciples on the Mount of Olives about the destruction of Jerusalem and the signs of the last day.

Spy Wednesday

On the Wednesday the tempo of the Holy Week increases. This is the day widely known as “Spy Wednesday.” For it is the day when Judas Iscariot, a disciple turned betrayer agreed to show the chief priests where they could easily capture Jesus.

Maundy Thursday

The Thursday of the Holy Week is associated with the Last Supper. The day is SEE EASTER, 14

Good Friday

known as Maundy Thursday, or, Holy Thursday. It is the day before crucifixion.

On this day Jesus had his supper, his last course, with his disciples. In the words of St Matthew: ...Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it , and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying,” Drink of it, all of

The Friday of the week is the Good Friday. This is the day on which Jesus was crucified outside the walls of Jerusalem, at the top of the Calvary hill. And the Christian belief says that Jesus sacrificed himself for the men’s sins, to be died crucified.

This day is marked by solemn observations in memory of Jesus’ crucifixion, for Christians believe that by dying, Jesus accomplished a reconciliation between God and

man. And accordingly the crucified image of Jesus or, the Cross itself, came to be regarded as the main symbol of faith for the Christians.

Roman Catholics observe the day usually through fast and abstinence to commemorate the pains and sufferings Jesus underwent on the cross. It is since the 4th century that Good Friday came to be observed as a separate occasion. Before this, an annual celebration was held as Christian Passover, or, Pascha, to mark both Christ’s death on Cross and the Resurrection.

Easter Eve

Holy Saturday. This is usually called Easter Eve in Anglican churches, and is held as a traditional time for baptism services.

Presently, this day is primarily a Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, as well as Anglican observance. Roman Catholic churches observe this with the blessing and lighting of a tall Paschal candle. The candle is placed on the altar on the Holy Saturday.

While blessing, five grains of incense are fixed in it, representing the five wounds of Jesus and the burial spices with which his body was anointed. The candle is lit and re-

Celebrate EASTER with us Ham makes a perfect start to Easter dinner Spring is in the air, and so is the aroma of delicious home-cooked meals prepared for family and friends. To keep dishes interesting and to serve something to please a crowd, you’ll need just the right recipe and ingredients. Ham is a versatile protein that can be ideal for many meal occasions.

“Whether you are entertaining your extended family for a holiday brunch or

simply making dinner for your family, ham adds flavor and variety to any meal,” says Joan Hanson, Hormel Foods test kitchen director. “It doesn’t take a lot of work to heat a boneless ham or even add ham to a popular appetizer recipe, such as honey roasted ham biscuits.”

Beyond its ease of preparation, the secret to preparing a tasty, flavorful ham is to

choose the highest quality product you can find.

“The quality of the ham you serve is important, and it all starts with perfecting the process of cooking the hams,” says Brian Hendrickson, Hormel Foods curemaster.

To ensure you’re serving the best-tasting ham possible, look for one that’s been made with the best-quality ingredients and that

And Easter

Easter Sunday is the day of the feast. This day, the third since crucifixion, the Christ is believed to have shown up himself. And not just that, Jesus also joined his disciples on a meal. Easter comes at the end of the six days of the Holy Week, which came to be associated with the life of Jesus before the resurrection. This is when Christ is believed to show himself up after his death through crucifixion. He had risen up from his tomb that was guarded by the sentries, and met his disciples to get them prepared to carry out his works in his absence.

Overlake hospital gala raises record $800,000

Overlake Hospital Auxiliaries raised a record $800,000 at its 2012 Bandage Ball gala March 24. The money will go toward building a new, state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) which will care for premature and the most vulnerable babies born at Overlake.

“It was a phenomenal evening and we are thrilled that this community – which founded this hospital more than 50 years ago – turned out in record numbers to raise a record amount of money,” said Molly Stearns, Overlake’s vice president of fund development and executive director of the foundation and auxiliaries. “The brand new NICU will be a tremendous asset to Overlake.”

The intensive care unit’s improved training and technology will allow Overlake, in partnership with Seattle Children’s, to care for newborns as young as 26 weeks gestation, keeping more babies close to their homes on the Eastside.

The gala marked the official launch of the private fundraising campaign for the NICU to raise additional major gifts from local individuals and foundations. KOMO 4 Morning News Anchors Brad Goode and Peggy Bunker served as auctioneer and emcee, respectively. The Overlake

Hospital Auxiliaries’ Bandage Ball is the largest fundraising event of the year to benefit Overlake.

Overlake Hospital Medical Center’s Dr. Adel El-Ghazzawy performed one of the region’s first single-site robotic assisted cholecystectomies (gallbladder removal surgery) Monday, using a single incision through the belly button.

Each year about 1 million people undergo gallbladder surgery in the United States. The new single-site advancement to the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System lets doctors complete the surgery in roughly the same amount of time as a lunch break.

The robotic system is under complete control of the surgeon at all times and helps eliminate many of the variables that exist during laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery), including a limited field of vision and restricted range of motion.

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. received an FDA-approval on the single-site advancement to the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System for cholecystectomy procedures – allowing surgeons to reduce the number of incisions from four, down to one that is less than an inch in length.

Overlake Hospital Medical Center is a nonprofit, nontax-supported regional medical center with a network of medical clinics throughout the Eastside.

Murders linked with history of domestic volence Jean Schumacher, the 71-year-old Bellevue woman who was murdered by her husband, reflects an increase of domestic violence, according to Eastside Domestic Violence Program.

James W. Schumacher, 71, has ben charged with Murder in the First Degree for killing his wife with a hatchet last week in Bellevue.The couple earlier had an argument and she threatened to divorce him.

Schumacher told police he was tired of his wife’s verbal abuse.

The Schumachers had a history of violence, “yet nothing extensive,” according to police spokesperson Carla Iafrate.

While, Barbara Langdon, Executive

GET HELP If you, or someone you know has questions about domestic violence or needs help, call EDVP’s 24 hour crisis line, 425-746-1940 or 1-800-827-8840 or go to http://www.edvp.org/.

Director of Eastside Domestic Violence Program did not want to comment on the specific case, she said murders between partners are typically linked with a history of domestic violence.

In these cases, men often threaten to kill

their girlfriend or wife if she says she wants out of the relationship. Men can become abusers when they start to feel like they are no longer in control, she said.

Even though these relationships may be horrible, women often feel like they don’t have other options.

Police also have been seeing more domestic violence cases linked to the economic downturn.

An estimated 40 percent of women in King County – or more – are victims of abuse between an intimate partner according to a 2009 study by Group Health, and 755 people died as a result of domestic violence between 1997 and 2010, according

to the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence Fatality Review Project.

Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that intimate partner violence results in 1,200 deaths and more than 2 million injuries each year.

Langdon said people often think of domestic violence as being designated to a specific area, age group or demographic.

In reality, the oldest EDVP client has been 80-year-old. She also pointed to Melissa Batten, a Harvard-educated Microsoft employee who was murdered by her estranged husband.

“It has nothing to do with your income or where you live,” Langdon said.

Grants help Hopelink transportation programs locations, cultural sites and educational events.

Also being funded are 10 computer-based transportation kiosks at local medical centers to allow patients, their families, and hospital employees to access immediate information about their transportation options.

“One Stop Access” is another program being funded by the grants. This program will develop a one-click transportation website, smartphone app, and four additional kiosks that serve veterans.

Finally, “Mobility Management” provides travel education and resources through three training programs, including “Ride Around the Sound.”

Domestic violence victims to get makeover Joanne Ramos will never forget that moment.

Watching victims of domestic abuse get their nails done was surprisingly moving for the Kirkland City Church pastor.

“For some of those women, it was the first time in years that they’d been touched in a nurturing, gentle way,” she said.

That was last year, when Ramos first organized a group makeover for women who are victims of domestic violence. This year,

she’s doing it again.

On April 1, 20 women from the YWCA of King County will be treated to hair cuts and colors and manicures at N Salon in Bellevue.

Ramos said she wants to help these women, who are enrolled in YWCA program that houses victims and helps them get back on they’re feet, that they’re strong and beautiful.

Richard Woodworth (far right) battles for a ball with a teammate and two Montevallo players during last weekend’s national championship game. Woodworth scored 10 points and a team-high nine rebounds and four assists to help his team to the title. TIMOTHY PATRICK, Northern Kentucky Univ.

BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Richard Woodworth wasn’t sure if that fire was still burning.

After playing basketball throughout his youth, starring as a prep at Newport with three MVP awards and making his rounds on the AAU circuit, Woodworth committed to play at Western Washington University for longtime coach Brad Jackson.

But after a lifelong relationship with basketball, Woodworth found himself for the first time in his life doubting what his future in the game would be.

“My senior year I kind of got a little burnt out,” Woodworth said. “I was playing 11 months out of the year and we had some tough seasons my last couple years at Newport. I was deciding if I wanted to even continue playing basketball.”

Luckily for Western Washington men’s basketball coach Brad Jackson and the Vikings, Woodworth decided he did.

After redshirting last season to recover from wrist surgery, Woodworth returned for his sophomore campaign

reenergized after speaking at length with his father Don, the all-time leading scorer in Whitman College basketball history.

The elder Woodworth suggested perhaps setting some tangible goals for himself and the team for the upcoming season would refocus Richard and rekindle the desire that is a hallmark of his game.

Little did he know it would serve as the springboard for a run to the national title.

“I turned to him and said we should win the national championship,” Richard said. “I was sort of kidding but at the same time, I knew we had a really good chance.”

No one was laughing months later, when Western began its game against Midwestern State by going scoreless for over six minutes with a trip to the Division II Final Four on the line.

But a seasoned and even-tempered Western team was unfazed, coming back to win 64-63.

“Our team has been in a lot of close games,” Woodworth said. “It was a little nerve wracking because it was win-orSEE WOODWORTH, 20

Alaskan guide Dick Lange will come to Bellevue College’s North Campus (14673 NE 29th Pl.) for nine weeks beginning on April 7 for a weekly fly fishing course.

The introductory course is meant to teach the fundamentals of the sport including fly tying, casting and other fly fishing basics.

A morning on a local stream practicing the lessons from the classroom sessions is also part of the experience and gives participants an opportunity to see how techniques are applied.

Cost is $165 and registration is available online (www. campusce.net/bc/course) or in person.

Interlake wins state drill title, Newport second at 4A meet Interlake won the state championship with a score of 443 in the military category at the 2B/1A/2A/3A state drill and dance championships at the Yakima SunDome, well in front of Cedarcrest (411), West Valley-Spokane (394) and Elma (393.75).

The state championship is the first for the Saints since 2006 and comes in a season where the squad withstood 15 new members and a mid-season coaching change, with Mary Ruble taking over.

“We just couldn’t imagine not seeing the season through,” Ruble said.

Ruble’s daughter Alix was a captain for the Interlake squad in her senior year.

“I’m just so proud of Alix and the other girls,” Ruble said.

“We really came a long way this season.”

Newport earned its best finish of the 4A meet with a second place showing in the military category, behind first place Moses Lake.

Phelps Foundation swimming programs expanding to Bellevue

BY JOSH SUMAN Bellevue Reporter

Beginning in June, the Bellevue Boys and Girls Clubs will be part of the nationwide “im” program to promote swimming as an avenue to health and wellness.

The program was founded in 2010

by The Michael Phelps Foundation and KidsHealth.org. and reached over 3,000 participants in 2011 at 16 clubs around the country.

“We are thrilled to be selected by the Michael Phelps Foundation for this opportunity,” said Kathy Haggart, CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue. “This program will help keep our club members safe in and around the water plus provide them the opportunity to be fit and healthy while having fun at the same time.”

Phelps is a 16-time Olympic medalist

and is best known for his record-setting swims in the Individual Medley, the inspiration for the name of the program. He began the foundation with the $1 million bonus he received from sponsor Speedo after winning eight Gold Medals at the 2008 Bejing Games and provides assistance for program costs, staffing, supplies, equipment, pool access and more.

The programs will be offered in Bellevue through the Caravan and Voyager programs at the Ground Zero Teen Center, South Bellevue Community Center, Main Club and Teen Center of Excellence.

Registration is open now at www. bgcbellevue.org.

Two games and two wins later, the nerves were finally calmed when the Vikings finished the season with a 72-65 win over Montevallo (Alabama) to seal the program’s first men’s basketball national title in Jackson’s 27th year.

“He’s really created a great tradition here and he’s a huge reason we have a national championship,” Woodworth said of his coach. “Along with coach Tony Dominguez, there’s not many guys I would rather play with.”

Woodworth said he received more texts, phone calls and voicemails than he could count in the aftermath of the game from family, friends and distant acquaintances, some of which he had never met.

“We got back to the locker room and everyone was turning on their phones and all you could hear was ringtones,” Woodworth said. “I heard from people I haven’t seen since I was a little kid living in Virginia.

It’s been really cool.”

Healing power of art featured in BAM exhibit

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA Bellevue Reporter

When Mercer Island artist Lynne Saad was diagnosed with breast cancer, you could see it in her paintings.

“All the color left her work and everything was just black-and-white,” said Catherine Person, a friend and owner of the Seattle gallery where, in 2009, Saad held her last show called “Unexpected Opportunity.”

It was the artist’s fourth year living with stage-four breast cancer.

With acrylic paint, Saad made portraits of imaginary women in gray, dark shades with titles such as “Letting Go” and “Saying Goodbye is a Serious Matter.” Each image is surrounded with a white, textured material, “beautiful, like icing on a birthday cake,” Person said.

But, while Saad may have been grieving, at the opening of her show in 2009, she was cheerful, smiling, and grateful to be alive.

The day after, when all but two of her paintings had been sold (the remaining two were sold the next day) Saad entered hospice, and died shortly after.

“Having that show extended her life,” Person said.

A couple of Saad’s pieces from “Unexpected Opportunity” are now on view as part of the “Making Mends” exhibition at Bellevue Arts Museum.

While the therapeutic benefit of art has long been accepted, only a few ex-

he Hunger Games film, based on the original novel

by Suzanne Collins, has been skyrocketing in popularity and generating enormous amounts of hype.

However, I know novels that are adapted into films often lose their enchantment.

Not this time. The film amazingly exceeded my expectations.

The story is set in a futuristic repressive and controlled society in which most of America is divided into 12 districts and each year one boy and one girl from each district is selected to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised fight to the Aran Kirschenmann death in which only one child survives.

The main character, an intelligent and strong girl named Katniss, is entered as the “tribute” for her district when her little sister is chosen for the position. She and Peeta, the boy chosen from her district, use their cunning and fortitude to navigate their way through the perilous Hunger Games.

MOVIE Two years ago when I learned about the book and its plot involving children killing each other to survive, I was appalled. Nevertheless, I became so hooked that I read the first book in a single night.

Remarkably, The Hunger Games is just as gripping as the novel and even more realistic.

The movie is consistently fast paced and enthralling.

Although the plot is violent and rather gory, the action is captivating and moving. I was pleased to find that the film is thoroughly faithful to the book, with nothing at all significant deviating from it and no important details discarded.

The emotive success of The Hunger Games comes from Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. She steals the show with her incredible performance and is the movie’s clear star. Her acting is stellar and I believe she captures the complex essence and emotion of Katniss perfectly.

The Hunger Games comes to life brilliantly and is everything I hoped it would be. Everything from the amusing theatrics of the elaborate and avant-garde Capitol to the grief of the children during the games was riveting. I believe all who enjoyed the books will love seeing it on the big screen, along with many people unfamiliar with them.

REVIEW

Art dealer Catherine Person (left) and her friend, the late artist Lynne Saad, in party hats at the opening of Saad’s show “Unexpected Opportunity” in 2009. Saad passed away shortly after from breast cancer. Her work is featured in BAM’s current exhibit, “Making Mends,” which runs now through May 27. COURTESY PHOTO, Ti Locke tional talent, this exhibit focuses on the artists’ perseverance as they come to terms with traumatic experiences through creating art.

The BAM exhibit will resonate with people who have dealt with the loss of a loved one, Person said. And surprisingly, it’s not only sad, but uplifting to see.

“It’s not just about death. Lynne’s spirit was so strong, her sense of humor was so intact, right to the very end.”

Cities told to target their service grants

Kindering gala raises $674,151 Kindering’s 50th Anniversary Celebration and Auction on March 3 saw more than 430 guests raise $674,151 for infants and children with special needs.

The event, at the Grand Hyatt Seattle, featured host Dennis Bounds of KINGTV. Gala chairs were Effie, Janet and Doug True and the entire True family; and 50th Honorary Committee Chairs, Diane and Peter Demopulos, MD.

Cities need to target specific needs with their human services grants instead of sharing their cake with too many ants.

At least that’s what David Okimoto, a senior vice president at United Way of King County, told four human services commissions from Eastside cities this month.

“This is the hand that we’ve been dealt,” he said. “We’re going to need to prioritize.”

Groups from Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond met to commiserate and share ideas in the face of declining funds to provide services.

Most cities on the Eastside have come with a spectrum approach – provide support at every level of need.

But with dollars thinning at the federal, state and city level, Okimoto challenged them to stop trying to keep so many programs alive and to focus on a few specific needs.

None of the cities have prioritized in such a clear way, and some openly grappled with how a city could even begin to do that.

“Ultimately it boils down to a value,” Okimoto said, adding that most of the cuts at the state level have primarily af-

fected children, low-income families and minorities.

The state funds a number of nonprofit groups to provide food, affordable housing, counseling and healthcare coverage.

But since the recession began, Washington lawmakers have slashed human services dollars more and more each year.

Because of that, the nonprofits also are reaching out to the now cash strapped cities for money. Issaquah, the smallest among the cities, is granting $270,000 this year to nonprofits. That compares to Bellevue’s robust $2.7 million budget.

Okimoto challenged the city commissions to help nonprofits run leaner programs, adding that volunteers are grossly underused. Youth Eastside Services, he said, once ran almost entirely on volunteers.

“The state and the federal government aren’t going to bail anyone out,” he said.

“We need to get a whole lot smarter in how we deal with this.”

The group planned for a joint commission meeting early next year, where they plan to share what they funded and how they might shift their funding.

Vital Statistics

Obituary

David K. Glaze David K. Glaze of Redmond passed away Saturday, March 17, 2012, at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. He was 79.

Mr. Glaze was born Aug. 1, 1932, in St. Paul, Minn., to Roland A. Glaze and Marjory Ann Kemp Glaze. He graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Civil Engineering in 1957.

On June 21, 1956, he married Darlyne La Motte at the church of St.

John the Baptist in Hugo, Minn.

Mr. Glaze served in the U.S. Navy and later worked for The Washington State Department of Transportation, retiring after 30 years.

Survivors include sons, Raymond, Douglas (JanMarie), Patrick (Donna), Daniel (Mary); and five grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife of 48 years.

A funeral mass was held March 21 at St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue. A committal service followed at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent.

to your CenturyLink store.

The original Wilburton Railroad Trestle was built in 1904 by the Northern Pacific Railroad. Built before the lowering of Lake Washington in 1916, the trestle spanned the marshy land where Kelsey Creek met the Mercer Slough.

High winds, weather, and wet land below were damaging to the trestle, and it was repaired several times over the next 40 years until the now standing structure was erected in 1943-44.

The new trestle is built from two different kinds of timber; half of the piles are creosoted, covered in an oily pitch to prevent rotting, and half of the piles are treated with Wolman salts. If you look closely you can still see the difference.

Steel girders were added in 1972 as the road below was widened.

One hundred years ago coal cars travelled north from Renton along the trestle and logs from the Wilburton sawmill floated below. Today the trestle spans the Lake Hills Connecter and until recently was used by the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. The trestle, which towers almost 100 feet high, is an iconic part of Bellevue history and the Bellevue skyline.

The Bellevue Schools Foundation will present two programs on education topics in April and May. All will be held in the Rainier Room at the Wilburton Instructional Service Center, 12241 Main St. A complimentary lunch will be provided by students in Newport High School’s Culinary Arts Program.

The Arts will be the topic noon to 1 p.m. April 26. Una McAlinden, Executive Director of ArtsEd Washington and a Bellevue parent; and Pam Schroeder, Bellevue School District Arts Coordinator, will discuss that arts are part of “basic education” in Washington state and how such programs impact student engagement and success.

Technology for Academic Success will be the topic from noon to 1 p.m. on May 31. Carl Sweetland, Bellevue School District’s Director of Technology, will discuss the technology being used in our schools, how it impacts student learning, and what’s on the horizon. Microsoft’s Kevin Wang will share the innovative and exciting TEALS program, which brings technology leaders into the schools to teach computer science.

Those interested should register in advance at bellevueschoolsfoundation.org.
