Bellevue getting ‘smart’ about traffic High-tech traffic lights help keep things moving

on road projects to add more capacity, the city is also taking steps to make its infrastructure smarter. The six-year, $4.5 million project allows city crews to install “intelligent” traffic lights in various parts of town. The system, known as Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS), allows traffic engineers at the city to collect data in real time – and

As Bellevue’s growth continues, so do the number of cars on the roads. While planners have worked for years

then adjust how long lights stay red or green. The project, which began in 2009, already has such “smart” traffic lights at 69 intersections. When complete, a total of 184 will be upgraded, said Mark Poch, Bellevue’s traffic engineering manager.

Rep. Adam Smith is facing off against four challengers in the Aug. 7 primary election in pursuit of his ninth term Dave Christie Tom Cramer in the 9th District, which looks a lot different than it did four years ago. District boundaries changed greatly this year making it the state’s first district where non-white John Orlinski Jim Postma residents are the majority. The district’s boundaries also shifted northward, adding Bellevue and Mercer Island to Renton and a number of South Seattle cities. Bellevue used to be in the 8th Congressional District and represented by Dave Reichert. It also became a more Democratic disAdam Smith trict, according to voting records, with more than 60 percent of the area’s residents voting Democrat in three previous key elections, according to the Tacoma News-Tribune. “You can’t really draw a line around the old and new 9th District,” Smith said. “We are a regional economy stretching at least from Everett to Olympia.” Smith said jobs and the economy are his biggest priority, with the education system and transportation projects close behind. He promoted his record of working with businesses, which he said will serve him well in the new 9th, which includes many of the state’s largest and most

Bellevue woman gardens for a good cause Garden part of fundraising event for college program By Nat Levy Bellevue Reporter

It wasn’t long ago that Marilyn Knapp’s backyard was nearly bare. A few plants here and there darted the landscape, but nothing special. Then, the long-time member of the Pine Lake Garden Club heard of a fundraiser for Lake Washington Technical College. Suddenly, an idea began to bloom. Today, her garden, which she describes as an “explosion of colors,” is now filled with orange and purple plants, and homemade sculptures. For Knapp, 75, the gardening experience is calming because you can depend on plants like few other things in the world. “You put them where you want them and they stay there,” she said. “And that’s a very satisfying thing because life is not like that.”

Marilyn Knapp refers to her garden as an explosion of color, with hints of orange and purple mixed with the lush greenery. NAt Levy, Bellevue Reporter

TAKE THE TOUR Marilyn Knapp painted an old duvet cover with a picture of a poppy flower. The cover is pinned in her backyard as the centerpiece of her garden. NAt Levy, Bellevue Reporter Her garden along with nine others, will be part of a tour this weekend in Bellevue and on the Sammamish/ Issaquah Plateau. Beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 28, people will have a chance to tour 10 gardens for $10. All

of the proceeds will go to the Lake Washington Technical College Environmental Horticulture Program. Don Marshall, head of the program, has been a fixture at the club’s meetings, and a supporter for more than 18

years. The club - and others throughout the area as well - has supported the program through scholarships. Marshall said more and more students are declining to take classes because of money problems. The club, which has about 30 members mostly in Sammamish, is hoping to raise $3,000. The club will match

Tickets for the tour cost $10 and are available for purchase at John L. Scott Realty, located at 718 228th Ave. NE in Sammamish. For more information, contact pinelakegc@hotmail.com that total. The genesis of the idea came a little more than a year ago. After hearing from Marshall that students were having problems finding financial aid, the gardeners, lead by club chair Barbara Flynn, planted seeds for the fundraiser. Flynn, whose garden also will be featured, said the

club is helping out because the program doesn’t have the fundraising capacity of traditional schools. “K-12 has PTAs who can fundraise, and the Universities have alumni donors,” she said. “The trade colleges, they don’t have that base.” Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

TRAFFIC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“It’s counting cars, just like engineers, except it’s doing it a lot faster than we could ever hope to do it,” Poch said. Thus far, Bellevue has created smart lights in Factoria, downtown and the Hospital District. Work this year is adding intersections along 148th Avenue from State Route 520 south to Eastgate. Bellevue is the only city in Washington using such a system, Poch said. Most cities use a signal pattern that changes based on time of day, but without the ability to adapt to traffic minute by minute. Bellevue officials went around the world to find the system, which was originally developed in Australia, Poch said. The system lets the city improve traffic flow without undergoing as many highexpense road projects, Poch said. “By systematically improving intersections, without adding concrete, without widening the roads, at that level of cost is really benefiting the city,” he said.

Poch said things are working well so far. Travel time on various routes downtown has decreased according to city figures that measured levels on random days. The benefits of the system can be seen first hand at Bellevue’s traffic control center in City Hall. Here, information about light schedules sit side by side with traffic cameras on a wall of screens. All major weather events, construction and traffic are monitored, helping engineers and decision makers make the right calls to keep traffic moving. Fred Liang has been with the city as a signal engineer for 26 years. Every decision he makes with traffic lights comes down to priorities. He has to balance what is best for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. The intelligent traffic lights take some of the burden off him by adjusting to traffic patterns, allowing him to focus on the bigger issues. “Everybody has an interest,” he said. “We have to make decisions on what is best for each group while still keeping a balance.” Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

GETTING SMART When the program is complete, Bellevue will have created 184 “intelligent” intersections in Bellevue. The first section was completed in 2010. Phase 2, which was completed in January, finished out the main downtown streets and the Hospital District, while Phase 3 involves 148th Avenue. Phases 4, 5 and 6 will be completed over the next three years. Phase 4, scheduled for completion in 2013, will focus on the main roads in the Bel-Red corridor. Phase 5 will improve lights through South Bellevue, and Phase 6 will fill in some gaps throughout the city, primarily on downtown side streets.

TRAFFIC FLOWING AGAIN

The long-awaited improvements to a key arterial in southeast Bellevue have been completed. The work, on 145th Place Southeast, from Southeast 16th to Southeast 24th Street, and on Southeast 22nd Street, from 145th Place to 156th Avenue Southeast, included new bicycle lanes, sidewalks, medians and center turn lanes. Another aspect of the work is the environmental sustainability built into it, with features such as pervious concrete sidewalks, which allow water to soak through to the ground below, and rain gardens to reduce runoff and improve water quality. The $6.8 million effort is the city’s largest transportation project this year, and adds to an earlier phase of the 145th Place work, between Southeast Eighth Street and Southeast 16th Street, completed in 2007.

Word of Mouth by Dr. Adam Cramer

COULD GUM DISEASE PROVE DEADLY?

It is now widely understood that gum disease can contribute to a host of potentially life-threatening conditions including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Research also indicates that women with periodontal disease are 3-5 times more likely to have a baby born prematurely compared with women without gum disease. However, is it possible that periodontal disease itself is deadly? According to recent research, the answer is “yes.” It seems that scientists have isolated an oral bacterium (Streptococcus tigurinus) that could be deadly if it enters the bloodstream through bleeding gums. While researchers begin to assess how common this bacterium is in the mouth, everyone has one more reason to floss and schedule regular dental check-ups that help avert gum disease. It has been estimated that 75% of Americans have some form of gum disease. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we encourage you to talk with us about your oral health. Preventing dental disease is less costly and more rewarding than correcting the problem once it occurs. After all, teaching you how to prevent dental disease is our primary goal. We provide quality, personal dental care in a comfortable, immaculate, professional environment.

$10 charge to sit at Lake Sammamish State Park unfair During the summer, a few people take their lunch to the boat launch at Lake Sammamish State Park. They are taking a little break from their office to enjoy the nice grass and a view of the lake. During the week, the park is very quiet with maybe 10 boat trailers. I was sitting, reading a magazine and a park ranger came over and said there was a $10 fee to sit on the grass. I can understand the fee for people to launch their boats, but to spend 30 minutes to have a sandwich? That is ridiculous. The property at the boat launch was gifted years ago to the state from an Issaquah family for free. The taxes in Washington state are driving business and people out of the state. I pay $7,000 yearly in property taxes. What’s the next tax, the air we breathe?

The Belvedere, developed by CamWest, a Toll Brothers company, will bring 81 homes to the Eastside – an area the developers say is high in demand. “[Bellevue] has good schools, good businesses,” said Eric Campbell, president of CamWest. “It’s where people want to live and there’s not much land close in.” The property was originally acquired by four different banks after previous owners went through foreclosure. CamWest had interest in the property, but the banks were unwilling to give property loans for the troubled assets. But after CamWest merged with Toll

9TH DISTRICT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

influential companies. Challengers to the seat include two Republicans, a progressive Democrat, and a member of the LaRouche Democrats. Each has voiced different political philosophies, but the one similar message among them is change. Those on the right side of the aisle want to see change in terms of balancing the budget, whereas the Democratic candidates want to see a supportive Congress that makes job creation easier. Several of Smith’s challengers see an opening with the changing district lines, though none have yet to pose a serious threat to the Seatac Democrat in terms of financial support. Smith has raised nearly $800,000, according to opensecrets.org, while his closest opponent, Jim Postma – whom Smith defeated in 2008 by a 65-35 margin – has raised $50,000. Postma, an engineer and former Air Force officer, believes the new district boundaries may be able to get him the additional 15 percent he needs to draw even with the long-time incumbent. Postma, who said he has several Indonesian grandchildren, said the new demographics of the district will be beneficial for his candidacy. “Having lived with minorities for 20, 30, 40 years, I understand them, and I think it could help me in this election,” he said. Postma, whose number one priority is paying down the national debt, will likely compete with Tom Cramer, Dave Christie and John Orlinski for a spot against Smith in the General election. None of them has held a state or federal office. Cramer, who has a long-standing relation-

ship with President Barack Obama from a failed attempt to run for Congress in Illinois, bases much of his candidacy on fixing the growing income gap in the country. He would like to see middle class citizens retain lower tax rates, with some of the burden shifting to the country’s upper crust, who Cramer said faced less tax responsibility as the decades passed. “I want to represent this middle class, the working class, the poor class in this country who want a better deal and more jobs,” Cramer said. Orlinski is a Republican who supports Mitt Romney, but he defies some of the party’s core platforms. Like Postma, he places high importance on balancing the budget, but unlike many Republicans, he would like to see some higher taxes, including the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, at least for the rich. He says he believes in some of the policies propagated by Ron Paul, such as ending military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan and scaling back federal government responsibilities to the core values of protecting the country and running the most essential services. “We are borrowing too much and spending too much,” he said. “I don’t think we have the rights to do this to our future children and grandchildren.” Christie, one of five members of the national LaRouchePAC slate, did not respond to calls requesting comment. He has based much of his campaign on the desire to impeach President Obama on various accusations including taking the country to war without congressional consent.

Climbing to their potential BY JOSH SUMAN Bellevue Reporter

For Tom Waldron, climbing is a pastime. He spent much of his childhood in Massachusetts with friends at a local quarry, learning to navigate up and back down with little more than blind courage. “It was just a big hole in the ground,” Waldron said of the favorite haunt of his youth. “We used to climb all the time, but not with so much safety equipment.” While his younger, more reckless days of climbing have long since passed, Waldron still has a passion for the sport, one he and his company Mini Mountain share with youth in Bellevue throughout the summer with week-long camps at South Bellevue Community Center. After coming to Bellevue in the early 1980s to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Washington, Waldron founded Mini Mountain in 1983 in an effort to teach ski lessons year-round at the specially furnished indoor facility. Shortly after, the program extended to climbing lessons and was contracted to operate the city of Bellevue’s climbing camps at the South Bellevue Community Center when it opened in December 2005. While his staffers from Mini Mountain often operate the camps, Waldron said he still enjoys bringing climbing to another generation. “They are doing stuff that makes them nervous and afraid, but they still do it,” he said. “That is something they will need in life.” Climbing experience is a necessity for Waldron’s instructors, but he said finding people with an affinity for teaching children is the most crucial factor. Taylor Barrett, a Washington State University student who began climbing four years ago, is one of the leaders of the camps and teaches alongside his sister Victoria. The pair cover everything down to basic knot tying and Taylor said watching campers progress from their introduction to the indoor wall to their first outdoor climb is an exciting experience. “It’s really fun to watch that,” he said. “The best part is being able to share these resources.” 13-year-old Tudor Muntianu has been climbing for four years after getting a taste of the sport on vacations with his parents. He is on his third go-around at climbing camp. Along with a love of hiking and the outdoors, Muntianu SEE CLIMBING, 10

AAA Washington now offering option for bicycle service BY JOSH SUMAN Bellevue Reporter

Where: South Bellevue Community Center, 14509 Southeast Newport Way When: Week-long camps at SBCC from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Who: Children ages 8-13 What to bring: Rubber-soled shoes or climbing shoes, all other required equipment provided

Bicyclists that encounter trouble on Washington roadways now have another option for service, and it’s a familiar name providing the care. AAA Washington launched a new bicycle service on July 1 that comes without additional charges or signups to all AAA members. The service provides transportation to a safe place, whether home or a bicycle repair shop, within the perimeters of the membership. “The Northwest is a bicycle mecca,” AAA Washington spokeswoman Jennifer Cook said. “It makes perfect sense for us to extend our program.” AAA began a pilot program in its Oregon/Southern Idaho division last year and after seeing its popularity among members, extended that service to Washington/Northern Idaho this year. British Columbia has a bicycle service program also, and members of any of the three can obtain service anywhere in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. Cook said AAA has carried out the service for nine members around the state in the first three weeks, including a member of the WSU cycling team that was stranded after running over a piece of glass. While roadside transportation is available, the service does not include mechanical repairs or flat tire replacement for bikes. Cook also said while AAA does not currently offer a bike-only service package, members and not their vehicles are covered, meaning a cyclist who had coverage and was in another person’s automobile at the time of trouble could utilize their service to cover that vehicle. She added that depending on the results and feedback of the program, a bike-only option could be made available in the future. “I think it’s a great idea,” she said. “If we see this taking off, we know there are people out there with a bike and no automobile.” Josh Suman: 425-453-5045; jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Sports Roundup

What’s happening in sports and recreation

City partnering on fencing camp

CLIMBING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

Muntianu said the challenges presented by rock climbing are what gravitates him to the sport. “It’s just a great atmosphere,” Muntianu said. “There’s no pressure at all.” After beginning each session at the community center, campers get an opportunity to truly experience climbing with daily trips to a popular spot off I-90’s Exit 38 or Marymoor Park in Redmond. While the techniques taught at the indoor rock wall are a vital piece of education for any aspiring climber, both Muntianu and Waldron said taking the practice outdoors is where the real payoff comes. “It’s a whole different environment,” Waldron said. “We have kids that show up afraid to touch the bushes. A lot of them haven’t spent much time outdoors and it isn’t like we are climbing in the parking lot.”

The city of Bellevue is offering a host of youth sports and recreation camps this summer (full list available online at www.ci.bellevue.wa.us/ parks) and is bringing the forgotten pastime of swordplay into the equation with the help of Washington Fencing Academy. Washington Fencing Academy will host a camp teaching participants age 9-16 the basics of Olympic fencing and take part in a mini-tournament. Girls and boys of all fitness levels are welcome and no prior experience is required. The camp will take place at South Bellevue Community Center from Aug. 6-10 from 1-4 p.m. and cost is $150 for residents and $180 for nonresidents.

Steps to Looking Better Without Breaking a Sweat

Quick fixes for skin, hair, makeup and style give an extra ego boost to encourage dieters

BY DAWN KLINGENSMITH | CTW FEATURES

5. GET CHEEKY

t takes time to see results from exercise programs, skincare regimens and other lifestyle changes intended to make us look and feel our best. Tasting success right from the start makes it easier to stick with resolutions that will bring about lasting improvements down the line.

Don’t try to re-sculpt your face using blush, bronzers or contouring powder. Apply blush so it looks like you’re blushing (but not dying of embarrassment). You should see your blush, but not where it starts and ends.

1. LIGHTEN YOUR LOCKS

6. PLUMP UP YOUR POUT

2. FILL IN VANISHING EYEBROWS

You know how black pants make your rear look smaller? What’s true for your hips is true for your lips. Darker colors like reds, purples and browns have a thinning effect while lighter shades of pink, peach and coral will make your lips look pleasantly plump.

Expensive, high-maintenance hair color looks good only as long as you keep it up, but adding subtle highlights or lowlights to the strands that frame your face doesn’t cost much and gives you an overall glow. Sparse, over-tweezed or graying eyebrows age your face, but penciled-in eyebrows can look even worse. “Thicker, fuller brows are in,” Zinke says. “To achieve this look try a brow tint which uses a mascara-like wand to gently apply color to the brow. Color is deposited on the hair rather than on the skin, creating a more natural look.”

3. START YOUR DAY WITH EYES TEA

Perk up tired, puffy eyes by gently applying cool, used (or pre-steeped) teabags to closed eyelids for about 15 minutes. Put them in a plastic bag in the fridge and squeeze out the excess moisture before applying.

4. FRAME YOURSELF If you wear eyeglasses, they are as much a part of your face as your nose and lips. They’re also fashion accessories, with new lines introduced seasonally, so just like clothing, they can start to look dated. Don’t be afraid to go for a bit of pizzazz.

7. BRIGHTEN YOUR SMILE “I think people underestimate the impact of teeth on their overall appearance,” “Drugstore whitening strips work. It’s an easy, quick, cheap thing to do.”

posture and make a dramatic impact on the way you look.”

10. SHOW SOME LEG

Rid your wardrobe of turtlenecks and high collars because the longer your neck, the thinner you look. V-necks flatter almost everyone, and they create a beautiful canvas to show off chunky necklaces.

Three-quarter-length skirts and dresses are all the rage in Hollywood, but they only flatter the “super thin” because they accentuate the widest part of the calf, Zinke says. However, “Almost anyone can wear a knee-length pencil skirt regardless of body shape.”

9. GIVE YOUR BUST A BOOST

11. WEAR THE RIGHT BOOT.

Look as though you dropped weight without dieting simply by getting professionally fitted for a supportive bra that lifts your breasts up and off your rib cage. “It will improve your

Furry après ski boots are neither sophisticated nor flattering to most figures. And unless you’re tiny, tucking skinny jeans into tall boots will make your rear end loom large.

Report: Gretzky talking to Bellevue officials about NHL arena Wayne Gretzky, who was seen at a Seattle Mariners game Wednesday, July 25, took a meeting with Bellevue officials to discuss the possibility of a NHL arena in the city, according to

KJR radio’s Dave “Softy” Mahler. Bellevue spokesman Claude Iosso said he was unaware of the meeting. A source close to the situation said talks between Bellevue and a number of potential suitors for an NHL arena have been ongoing, but the source did not want to discuss Wayne Gretzky any particular individuals. “There are people working on it,” the source said. But no proposals have been turned in, the source added. Were an arena plan to materialize, no Bellevue dollars, not even in the form of bond financing, would be included, the source said. Anything else is a non starter. This position has been echoed in the past by Bellevue officials. Bellevue has been active in arena discussions with a variety of potential owners in recent years. Rumors swirled last summer when Don Levin, an owner of a minor league hockey team in Chicago, was linked with Bellevue officials to build a potential arena. Rumors on the Eastside cooled when hedge fund manager Chris Hansen earlier this year came forward with an NBA/ NHL arena proposal in Seattle’s SoDo district. But Hansen, and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, a principal supporter of the Seattle plan, have said that if political opposition overcomes the project proposal that it may not be long before other suit-

ors, potentially from Bellevue, step up. According to the source, the city would not necessarily back off an arena plan if Hansen’s arena houses only an NBA team. Gretzky, who has no ties to the area, was part of the ownership group of the Phoenix Coyotes until 2009. The Coyotes have faced financial troubles for years and have often been linked with this area as a potential team that could be had, should an arena plan materialize. The team is in the process of being sold to a new owner, but the proposal is not without its own opposition.

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.

he highlight of my year came last week at the Pacific Northwest Writers’ Association annual conference. The highlight was “The Power Pitch Block,” 90-minute periods in which a few hundred supplicants took turns presentAnn Oxrieder ing their cases to a lineup of some of the top literary agents and editors in the country. Each has three minutes to convince an expert that his or her book has something new, special or timely to offer the reading public. A bell rings and some shift one seat closer to the prize agent, while those who complete their pitches take their hopes to the back of a new line to face a new agent. Early on day two of the conference, panels of agents and editors instructed us on how to pitch. The panelists also gave us warnings. “Don’t tell us your book is the next Hunger Games or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, or that it’s a cross between Harry

Lots and lots of coffee. The dining room crowd would thin out around 10 and by that time we’d be immersed in math, literature or organic chemistry. On the rare occasion a true all-nighter was needed, the waitresses would let us get up and refill our own coffee mugs. Near midnight the phone would ring and I’d hear the night manager answer, “yes, we are open. We are always, always open.” He had to say this five to six times a night. If I needed a key piece of information, Lisa Fraser the library was closed until morning and sometimes the friends who held my hand through math weren’t available. I had nowhere to turn but a pancake house and a pile of text books. It wasn’t always a successful model. Luckily, libraries aren’t like that anymore. Our databases and downloads are available 24 hours a day. You only need an active KCLS library card number and PIN. Some of our strongest library users never darken our doorsteps and choose to conduct all business online. If it’s three a.m. and a quick Google search won’t satisfy your information need, try visiting our database page. These online resources are not websites, they are subscription-only electronic resources like reference books and articles and they are free to library card holders. If you get stuck in a database, you can log on to chat with an after-hours librarian. That person will connect you with an appropriate database, website or make search suggestions. If polynomials are making your head hurt, online tutors are available until midnight. Log in to our many databases and collections from the comfort of home or a pancake house. We’ll provide the resources, and you can brew the coffee. We’re always, always open.

Remembering J.P. Patches

.P. Patches made people feel – good, especially kids. Even after those kids became parents, and even grandparents. The J.P. Patches Show reigned for nearly a quarter century around here, perhaps the longest run that any local kids’ TV program anywhere has ever had. And the man beneath the clown makeup – Chris Wedes – never really took the final bow before his adoring public until the curtain fell less than a week ago, when he died Pat Cashman at the age of 84. At the time I began my Seattle radio career in the early 1990s, I had

not yet met Chris Wedes in person, even though I had admired him for years. I was new to talk radio – nervous and diffident from the start. I had nightmares of the microphone going on – and me being unable to think of a single thing to say. Then one day, in the middle of an onair conversation with phone calls from listeners – my female sidekick suddenly began acting strangely, then writhing, then convulsant – and finally tumbling out of her chair onto the floor. She was having an epileptic seizure. I’d never witnessed one before. She looked deathly. I quickly tossed to a commercial break as 9-1-1 was dialed and medical care came running. We filled the on-air time with public service announcements and music – but once my co-host was safely on the way to the hospital, I was told to resume normal programming. I was so shaken that all I wanted to do

was duck under the console – or go home. Instead I came back on and said that my co-host “wasn’t feeling well” and we would return “to your calls.” In fact, there was only one caller on the line – a Chris from Edmonds. I punched it up – and an unmistakable voice began talking. It was J.P. Since he had no idea of what had just happened in our little studio, the great clown began cracking wise – fun and funny – and immediately sending a wave of calm over me and everyone else on the radio staff. I sailed through the rest of the show as if nothing had happened. Great talent is rare. Chris Wedes had that. But great character and genuine sweetness is even more rare. Chris Wedes

had that too. And you didn’t have to grow up watching him on TV – or even have the slightest notion of who he was. He was transformative – even charismatic – in his enormous appeal. Occasionally, J.P.’s legendary TV show would feature famous folks who happened to be in town – like my favorite, the Lone Ranger. Every episode of the Lone Ranger would end in the same fashion: The Ranger, after performing some act of heroism, would ride off before being thanked. Then, someone would ask, “Hey, who was that masked man?” And the reply would be, “Him? Why he’s … the Lone Ranger!” Music up. Last August, I was standing in the crowd at the Evergreen State Fair as Patches made one of his last public appearances. Most of the large throng was there because they knew and loved him. But standing alongside me was a young family wearing New York Yankee clothing – and their Bronx accents made it clear they were out-oftowners on vacation. As Patches performed on stage – the crowd eating it up – the New Yorker dad turned to me and said, “That guy’s really great!” I nodded, “Yea, I know.” And then he said, “So who is that man in the clown makeup?” I said, “Him? Why he’s … J.P. Patches!” Music up. And out.

Seattle-based singer-songwriter Kris Orlowski has been making the rounds in the Northwest music scene for seven years now, but just recently began to generate major buzz for his thoughtful, indie-rock tracks. Orlowski, who moved to Seattle from Bellingham, recently played the Capitol Hill Block Party - and will be stopping by Bellevue’s Bake’s Place on Friday, August 3, for an intimate set at the new downtown club. The Bellevue Reporter caught up with Orlowski to find out what the audience can expect from the singer and his band: Reporter: How’d you originally get in to music? KO: I’ve been playing music since I was a kid. But I really fell in love with music in college - when I was studying abroad in London. There was an acoustic guitar in my host family’s house - and that’s when I really discovered it for myself - and not because girls liked it when I played. Reporter: You originally performed as a solo artist, but in the last few years have added a band; How did this evolve? KO: To me, they serve two different purposes. The band sound is for big live shows. I am so infatuated with the aesthetic side of music - when you hear all these different sounds - and how they sound so beautiful together. And how, when you add pedal steel [guitar], and a second vocal and bass drum - it puts it on a whole other level. Reporter: Has forming the band changed the way you make music? KO: Well, when I write songs I have certain parts in

mind. Like, I was just working on this song (“Cables,” being released in the fall) and I was thinking of this band, The Shins, who I really love. The song has this Wurlitzer sound to it. I wrote it a certain way knowing the band could come up with that sound. And I wouldn’t have written it that way if I was doing it solo. Reporter: Your current album, “Warsaw,” was produced by Kory Kruckenberg of Pickwick; how did this come about? KO: I connected with Kory over the last year. Kory just does good work. He really worked with budget, and the ideas we had, to say ‘this is how much time we have, this is how much money we have, let’s make it happen. And the fact that he had a Grammy under his belt, of course, made us feel like he really knew what he was doing, and we could trust him. Reporter: Do you have any plans to collaborate with other local artists in the near future? KO: There are a lot of collaborations for this next album. It’s going to be really big. It’s with a full 17-piece orchestra for all five songs. Allen [Stone] sings on it, Noah Gunderson, Mike and Matt Gervais from Curtains For You, Mychal from Campfire OK, Melody from Campfire OK. Reporter: You are playing at Bake’s Place next week. Can you speak to how the size of this venue changes your live performance? KO: A venue like Bake’s Place gives us the opportunity to show more subtleties in my music and in the the band. A SEE ORLOWSKI, 23

“The Dark Knight Rises” is very intense and its several significant plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat. DeMOVIE spite being less dark and grim than the last Batman movie, the film illuminates the social issues in Gotham as well as the personal challenges the characters face. The action is exhilarating and Batman’s technology, such as his incredible motorcycles and flying car, make the confrontations even more exciting. This third installment of the Batman trilogy begins with Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) still in hiding eight years after the second movie in which he was cast off by the city of Gotham as a villain and murderer. With a great deal of coaxing by those closest to him, as well as an insightful young detective named Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), along with the emergence of the powerful and mysteriAran Kirschenmann ous criminal, Bane (Tom Hardy), threatening to destroy Gotham, Wayne finally decides to return to society and resurrect Batman. When there aren’t battles, great drama between the characters keep the movie enthralling. A love triangle even surfaces between Batman, Miranda (Marion Cotillard), an investor in his failing company who he puts his trust in, and Cat Woman (Anne Hathaway). When I first learned Anne Hathaway would be playing Cat Woman, I was uncertain how well she would fit the character. But Hathaway pounced perfectly into the bold role and dominated the screen with an amazing and entertaining performance. Christian Bale does very well portraying a broken hero revived, while Bane, played by Tom Hardy, is the new villain, forced to wear a ghastly mask because of childhood injuries and possessing as much fighting skill as Batman. Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman return as Batman’s allies, Commissioner Gordon and Lucius Fox, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt as detective Blake, who shares Batman’s troubled upbringing and passion for fighting crime, becomes a new one. Overall, “The Dark Knight Rises” is a stellar conclusion to the Batman series. The storyline is complex and gripping although there are a few confusing and unexplained moments. The action-packed film holds plenty of drama and thrilling scenes. Those who enjoyed the previous two Batman movies will undoubtedly relish the final chapter to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Note: My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families touched by the tragedy that took place in Aurora, Colo., the night of the premiere.

REVIEW

“Lilly Anxiously Awaits Her Blind Date” by Jacquline Hurlbert. COURTESY question “Who shall I wear today?” “I’m trying to convey that every day you wake up, you are somebody different,” she says. “And you are in charge of what personality you choose to wear.” Her paintings keep with this theme, exploring the complexities of life – both good and bad. As for her painting process, Hurlbert says she starts with the first layer – a person or scene – and then paints three to four complete scenes on top. The idea being to carry bits and pieces of each layer to the next, developing a history along the way, while creating rich textures. ARTSfair attendees can expect a wide array of work from Hurlbert, who plans to bring nearly every piece currently in her studio. She does this, she says, because it allows her to provide a more thorough selection for viewers. Her original paintings (36 by 48 inches) start at $1,500; she’ll also have large prints (17 by 22 inches) starting at $85. For more information on Hurlbert’s work, go to www. jhurlbert.com. You can also find her at the ARTSfair this weekend, taking place at the Bellevue Arts Museum and Bellevue Square as part of Bellevue Arts Week.

Jacquline Hurlbert knew she wanted to work with her hands from a very early age. Even if it was just in the mud. Growing up in a small Nebraska town, Hurlbert didn’t have much access to art classes, but devoured her high school courses. She went on to study ceramic sculpture at the University of Nebraska, and later, at the University of Northridge in California. Now, a veteran of the Bellevue Arts Museum ARTSfair, Portland-based Hurlbert is showing her work in three categories at the festival this year: ceramic sculpture, painting and multimedia. An experienced ceramic sculptor, Hurlbert got her first taste of outdoor art shows while showing her sculptures at Portland’s Art in the Pearl show 10 years ago. “It gave me a whole new way of presenting my artwork to people who had never seen my work before.” She says she appreciates the varied personalities in the crowd - and the opportunity to really connect with her viewers. “They don’t know that I am the artist, initially,” Hurlbert says. “It is wonderful to hear the comments, and to see them get up closer to the pieces and find details. In regard to her art, Hurlbert says she is inspired by the complexities of life. Whether it be something in the news, something humorous, something traumatic or something fun, Hurlbert says she is constantly inspired. Her pieces are colorful and textured, quirky and dark. And while her art spans a variety of mediums, there is a theme that seems to tie them together: psychological edge. In this vein, Hurlbert says her work revolves around the

show at Bakeâ€™s Place - or the Triple Door - is where I think we shine - [because] we have these subtleties. It really comes down to the subtleties versus energy. Reporter: Have you played at Bakeâ€™s Place before? KO: We played at the old venue once before, and I was like, â€˜This is cool, but itâ€™s so far removed.â€™ It was hard to get fans to come out that far. We played the new venue when it first opened - and now itâ€™s the perfect size. The sound there is amazing. And I think our crowd is going to be great. Reporter: What are you looking forward to most about this show? KO: Iâ€™m really looking forward to getting back to my roots - doing something more intimate. I might do some songs solo because getting to play solo is still really fun for me. Iâ€™m looking forward to really connecting with friends and fans. Reporter: You mentioned earlier you are working on a new album. Can you share any details? KO: The record is called â€œPieces We Are.â€? And we are actually showcasing a number of other artists with the release. We have five photographers taking pictures [inspired by] songs we sent them. I just got a photo from Tyler Karlberg [photographer/videographer on tour with the Head and the Heart]; he sent me a picture for this song â€œI Will Go.â€? Itâ€™s a polaroid looking picture he took when he was sailing near the Tacoma Narrows by Pt. Defiance Park. Itâ€™s going be a great opportunity to showcase other art with our music. Kris Orlowski performs at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 3 at Bakeâ€™s Place in Bellevue. â€œPieces We Are,â€? will be released October 16. Tickets for their CD release party, Oct. 13 at the Triple Door, are on sale now.

Bellevue gets award for use of Segway The city received a national transportation planning award for its part in the development of a â€œstreetwiseâ€? Segway scooter now used by a number of cities to track the accessibility of their sidewalks. In 2007, the city equipped a Segway Human Transporter with hightech hardware, including a displacement laser and gyroscope, to complete an inventory of Bellevue sidewalks. Interns rode the â€œUltra Light Inertial Profiler,â€? collecting data that showed locations where sidewalks had buckled or were otherwise difficult to navigate for people with disabilities. Use of the profilers is now considered a national best practice. On July 8 the city received the 2012 Transportation Planning Excellence Award, a biennial award sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration.

TV design star in Bellevue BY KEEGAN PROSSER Bellevue Reporter

Franz Loewenherz, senior transportation planner of the city of Bellevueâ€™s Transportation Department, shows the cityâ€™s Segway outfitted with its high-tech hardware. COURTESY PHOTO, City of Bellevue

TV design star Tracy Hutson stopped by Bellevueâ€™s own Greenbaumâ€™s Home Furnishings on Monday morning as part of a competition presented by Guardsmanâ€™s â€œStop Cleaning, Start Caringâ€? campaign. A leading furniture care and repair company, Guardsman recently asked consumers to share a story about their favorite piece of furniture for the chance to win $1,500 room re-accessorizing and shopping experience with Hutson; Everett resident, Kristin Lucken, was the lucky winner. As part of her prize, Lucken spent the morning shopping with Hutson at several stores in Bellevue. The goal? To find the perfect accessories to complement the buffet hutch now sitting in the living room of Luckenâ€™s Everett home. â€œItâ€™s all about mixing splurge pieces with items that are more affordable,â€? Hutson said.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice! ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery. TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses. Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile. They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Actual ClearChoice Patient

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab. Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now! SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.” - Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient

Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...

Our risk free consultation will show you how.
